HOUSTON ENUMERATION CLUB.
Something of IFS Conception and Organza-
ton Fifteen Months Ago.

I will be disposed OF In accordance with
the wishes OF the family or friends OIL
the deceased.
1T is not the purpose OF this associa-
ton to antagonlze the sentiments OF the
aged or the ignorant In the matter 81
the final disposition OF the dead; but By
correct reasoning and proper sanitary
teaching lead the young TO discard
preconceived and erroneous ideas and
adopt cremation as not only hygiene
but a respectful and proper return OF
ashes to ashes. dust to dust
The above agreement WAS subscribed
to by about twenty persons, ana that Is
the origin of the club
The popularity OF the organization
does not exist in the clubs existence
nor in the manner of its origin. so much
as il does in the direction by some OF
the members as to the final disposition
Of their ashes. The adult cropse Will
produce about three quarts, or twelve
pounds. of ashes. and the cost OF inciner-
alton at a distant crematory is about
$500 including railroad fare OF the corpse
and its attendant. OF course a majority
OF the members desire their ashes re-
turned to their friends or relatives. for
them to finally dispose of, bu, others
have ideas and wishes of their own wnlcn
will he duly respected by surviving
members Some have a lingering hope
Of resurrection and want their ashes
buried, but there are exceptions even
TO these One has appended a written
desire to the agreement that his dust be
scattered to the four winds of heaven
from the top OF a specified building In
this city, another requested that his
ashes be used for fertiizing red rose
bush: another's dust will be taken one
thousand feet from the shore OF Calves
ton bay and there cast upon the ripping
waves. and he has named a party to
perform the above duty.
There has not been a single death In
the club since Its organization.
One of the members said last night:
while we are always ready and will
ing to argue the question Of cremation,
we do not seek controversy. Knowing
we have the best of the argument we are
charitable to the preiudiced. and merely
state our case in a logical manner. leav-
ing to time to do the rest. With the
present membership the cost of cremat
ing a body is $50 per capita. and We
would unite with sufficient number to
put in operation a crematory in this

MINERS WILL WORK A COup.


Wikesbarre, PA. September 1.-The
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
company miners will on Tuesday next
take advantage of their separate and ex-
elusive organization to demand an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages. 4 COM
mttee has been appointed and the de-
mand viii be presented to Superlntend-
ent LOOMS. The action is clever
coup. which may place the company in
an embarrassing position.
The company has always refused to
recognize the United Mine Workers on
the ground that their officials were out
siders and had no standing as actual
workmen. The officials said they we're
quite willing TO treat with their own
employees and discuss grievances II they
had any, Then the leaders OF tho miners
cleverly planned an organization of their
own to be confined to the Delaware.

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. Cit may be question whether
the editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the va
rious proprietary medicines which flood
the market, yet as preventive of suf-
fering we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
dose OF this remedy would save hours
OF suffering while physician is await
ed We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by all Druggists.
