KolIoek Advocated Cremation.

i Charleston, Oct. 10.-At the conven-
sion of the National Funeral Directors
today Dr.. C. W. Kollock of this city
caused a sensation by the reading OF a
paper on the subject Of cremation.
DR.. kollock had been invited to ad-
dress the undertakers and. he deliver
ed particularly interesting and able
address, strongly urging cremation as
the best method of disposing Of the
dead. He took the position that
bodies should not be embalmed, save
10 the extent necessary for.its pre-
servat;on until the funeral obsequies
are over and instead of delaying the
decomposition of the bodies by en-
balnliRg them, some method ought to-
be devised for Fastening it. He 5advo-
Gated cremation for this purpose and
also for sanitary and :hygienic reasons.
Hardly had DR.. Kollock finished,
when George L. Thomas of Milwau-
kee. disclaiming any intention of be-
ing dlscourteous, moved that Dr..
Kolloek's address should not be, print
ed on the minutes. Several under
takers seconded DR.. Kollock's re-
marks, and he was permitted to ex-
plain that he did not intend any
ofense to the members of the associa-
ton, but had simply expressed his
views on matter connected with the
profession. having been invited to
speak. He thought embalming pre-
vented rapid decay and he therefore, op-
posed it, thinking that it was the law
of nature that the body should decay
rapidly. The address was approved
and ordered to be spread On the
minutes.

REMOVAL OF STAMP TAX
Revised Version of War Revenue
 Law Goes In Effect July 1

If you live until July 1 you will cease paying internal revenue tax in many places where for three years il has been in force The na- tional congress at the session just adjourned passed a bill which relieves the public of the ex- pense and annoyance Of many of the stamp taxes. As is well known, the new law. or rather the revised version of the old law, removes about forty millions of taxes ger year, all of which was collected in pennies from checks, drafts. mortgages, real estate trans fers, telegraph, telephone messages and express receipts. These stamps have not only been source of great ex- Dense in the aggregate, but they have been an annoyance of the most petty character. Every time twenty five cent telegram was sent the sender had to dig for penny Every package left with an express company had to be ac- companied with q penny stamp, The nation in fact, was becoming a people of tsamp lickeTs.
 1.-The amended law removes nearly all of these, leaving only such taxes as do not come into play in the everyday course of business of the average citi- zen. Thus the tax on stock brokers, pawn brokers, custom house brokers, nroprietors Of theaters, circuSes and other exhibitions are retained just as

treaties means negotiations, and 1t is obviously impossible for the representa-. tive of any foreign power to negotiate with the senate, which has as many minds as there ars senators. In tho original Hay-Pauncefote treaty Great Britain compiled with our demands; We changed our demands and presented a new treaty without negotiation with Great Britain. The new treaty has been rejected. and if We wish to re- open the question fresh negotiations will have to be undertaken. The text of Eng.and's answer has not been pub- lisheo yet. but is said to be courteous in tone. The arguments against the acceptance of the senate amendments no doubt define the English govern meats position on the canal question, and with a clear knowledge of that position, this government may proceed intelligently to frame a new treaty that is likely to be ratifi d when the time seems ripe for pushing forward the canal project ago,n.

THE HoTHoUsE NOVELIST.

in these modern days when night hood is in the seed. a brave survival has been witnessed in Chicago. Amy Sasselbery. aged twenty, graduate of the Indiana Normal school, and pretty. went to Chicago on shopping trip, and was arrested in a jewelry store, charged with stealing diamond ring.
 T am innocent" she pleaded, but was taken to police station and searched.
 The ring was not found. Alone and frlendless. she telegraphed to small town in wisconsin, where lived John Watson. a well-to-do mechanic. She had once rejected Watson's addresses. Watson hurriedly proceeded to Chica- go. procured bail, and married the girl within an hour after her release. He retained counsel, stood by her Tn court, saw her triumphantly acquitted. and took her away to his Wisconsin home

 yesterday regarding the status of coun
 cil bills 1O7 and 1i2, ol THE whose death, however PARLIA- no person with even an MENTARY elementary knowledge STATUS. of parliamentary law
 can entertain any doubt We will again state the case from the beginning of the present situation and apply to it the best recognized authori- ties which have nowhere any contra diction.
 A motion was made and carried tc lay both these bills on the table.
 A motion was then made to recon- sider the vote by which these bills were laid on the table. This motion was by another motion laid on the table.
 Both bills are O.. tho table, carrying with them the veto messages and all motions connected herewith. There cannot possibly be any separation or disintegTation. They are united to- gether indissolubly
 When a motion tO reconsider has been once put and decided it is not in order to repeat the motion (house of representative rules), and the speaker must not recognize any such motion.
 Tt is very common practice for the member having charge of a measure as soon as vote is taken upon 1t to move to reconsider tho vote last taken. and also to move that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table. If the latter motion prevails 1t Is deemed a fnality."
 If the pending treasure was not at the time on the table the melton to reconsider vote upon 1t would not carry the measure itself to the table. But in this case the pending measures were upon t'ie table by the action of the house and there the motion to re- consider the vote by which they were laid upon the table. found them. joined them, and became part of them be- JoHu <hhu tht pthuihe ANoSNiN cannot be reached unless they are reached over the dead body of the last prevailing motion. To do that would be 10 herald the fact to the world that an Arizona legislature has no respect for parliamentary rules that It has no respect for the rights of the people; that 1t is governed and ruled by dom- inant personal and individual preju- dices and passions; that tho repre- senta live men selected from tle body of people clamoring for self govern ment are not prepared for it because they refuse to conduct thir legislative affairs In accordance with the rules, precedents and laws laid down for the guidance of all deliberative bodies. and accepted and acquesceG in by all such bodies.

The rejection by Great Britain of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as amended

The rejection by Great Britain of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as amended
 and reconstructed by CANAL our senate will hardly TREATY cause surprise to any REJECTED. body. The treaty sent
 to Great Britain is an instrument about which Great Britain, as equal party in interest, was not consulted. The British government had no part making 1t; there was no negotiation. The original Hay-Paunce- fote treaty. negotiated by Secretary Hay and Ambassador Pauncefote for the purpose of abrogatinS such provls- ions of the old Clayton Bulwer treaty as were obstacles to the construction of the isthmian canal by the United States. was framed in obedience to the wishes of this government. and its very s.ipulations were suggested by our state department
 Ambassador Pauncefote signed the treaty. but the senate not only refused to ratify the treaty, but constructed a treaty of it's own. This new senate made treaty. in the construction of which Great Britain's representative had no hand, was forwarded to the British government, which has re- jected it. The senate, in usurpng the treaty making power and ignoring the executive. rejected the instrument containing the concessions asked by It's own department of state and sub stituted something new. The British government has rejected the new treaty" and if the foreign office should politely request this govern ment to find out its own mind before beginning negotiations anew. we should scarcely. under the circum- stances. have cause for resentment The episode should make it clear that in this country that treaty making power must necessarily rest with the executive. The senate has undoubted right on all occasions to reject treaties which it deems opposed to the coun- tsw's interests, but it Is not part of the senate's functions to make treaties nor is it practicable fm treaties to be. r--4s by he senate.
