TO oRnmArE EACH OTHER.
Number of Citizens Have Subscribed
to Such an Agreement

to Such an Agreement.
There exists in Houston an association.
the members OF which have subscribed
to a written agreement. which provides
that in the event OF the death of any
member It shall be the duty of the
other members to have the body Gre
mated at the nearest crematory. The as
sociation was formed about year ago,
but Its existence Is only now becoming
generally known, as the original menu
bers have not solicited any other persons
to join. The agreement has been no Sc
cret, however, and all who are able and
wish to join may do so at their pleasure.
The agreement is the result of an I'M
promptu discussion of the subject OF
cremation by a number OF gentlemen III
Ben Wilbush's drug store one night about
a year ago. There were several men
sitting around in general conversation
when the subject branched OFF on to the
cremation OF human bodies. At the sug-
gestion OF d.. Bartlett and d. q. Ken
nedy, poll OF the crowd was taken 30
see how many of them favored that meth
cd of disposing of corpses. They all
favored cremation, and then 1t was pro-
posed to enter into the agreement de-
scribed above. The paper was drawn vi
and about fifteen or twenty persons sub
scribed to the obligation.
Some of the members commenced 10
correspond with different crematories 10
determine the cost OF cremation, and
found that the st. Louis crematory would
be the most practical one to patronize
from this point. The cost would be about
b. $500 for each body. There have been ne
deaths In the association since 1t was
formed.
DIR. Bartlett is a member Of similar
association in Kansas City which started
with only few members, but grew rap
idly until about 800 names were enrolled
as members. A we'll equipped cremator,
was then established. each member pay
| ing in 500.
Speaking OF the cremation of bodie,
/ last night DR.. Bartlett said: <"It requires
about forty minutes for a body to be
consumed In crematory, and an average
size person will make about three quarts
or twelve pounds OF ashes A cloth
that has been saturated in alum Is put
around the body and during cremation the
cloth stands up just like It was original!
arranged The body wrapped in this
cloth is put in lead coffin which melti

heat with only the cloth intervening. You

Judge McInnis, in taking the chair, sad
among other things that nearly all the
railroads are owned and managed East or
North and that the business from the East
and North TO the South and from the South
to the East and North was fairly adjusted
but between any two Southern States tha
rates are almost prohibitory--for the SIM
pie reason that the needs OF contiguous
States have never been properly cons!d-

the Southern States the power to trade
with each other should be one of the mis-
slons OF this organization"
