A law relating to public health pro-
Vides forty years ago that no grave be
dug or opened south of Eighty sixth
street, and that no cemetery be opened
IN any part of the city and county of
New York. This law should be en-
+. forced and applied, not to Greater New
York alone, but to the territory within
radius of one hundred miles around
every populous town. People who in
sist on their inanimate bodies remain
ing lnViolate should have them carried
to a distance where they can neither in
convenience nor injure the living, who
need the room and are natural heirs Of
the departed. Famous intermuraI GEM
etefleS like Mount Auburn (BOston).
Greenwood New York; and Laurel Hill
(Phlladeiphia), could be transformed
INTO admirable parks. Monuments of
architectural beauty might remain I'M
disturbed. Others might be replaced
by trees, with suitable tablets to mark
the spot Of those upon whose dust they
grow. The Turks, 10th to desecrate the
grave OF a Mussulman, have adopted a
similar custom, and thereby have made
a cemetery OF COnstantinODIe attrac-
tive to strangers Two hundred city
lois are now required to bury in the
old-taShloned way the seventy thou
sand persons that annually die in
Greater New York. We probably could
save more than one hundred and fifty
OF these precious lots if the ashes of the
seventy thousand we're placed in urn
cemeteries, preserved in inches Of a
columborlum, or streWn on the waves
OF a river. AS cemeteries are exempt
from taxation, the municipality would
derive an income from the lots, which
the living then would use, and from the
Improvements they would make upon
them.
Another important advantage would
accrue to every needy mourner, in saw
ing him from useless extravaganza. He
lncurs at present the expense of fifty
dollars ct least for plain funeral;
land values in the suburbs of the cities
preclude a reduction in the cost of bur-
lal. The expense of cremation is only
twenty-five dollars, and could be large
ly reduced if the custom became more
general.
Let our intelligent population set the
example, as it does In San Francisco,
where almost one thousand bodies are
annually cremated. and the ignorant
masses will be sure to follow. Consid-
ering the marvellous progress we have
made in every other direction. it is
strange that we have failed to adopt
the most rational means for the dispo-
sition Of dead bodies. We hardly are
abreast of Homer's contemporaries,
who realized that, however well a cem-
etery may be managed, corpses can do
harm, but ashes never can. True reli-
gion does not and never can teach that
1t is bodily to injure those we leave be-
hind when we die.--Louis Windmuller

eral way taught him many things. In
return the boy was bright and quick,
and rendered such return as a bay Of
his years could. His name was Gar
ner, and in time he came to be known
as Garner Edwards, which name I
think he yet clings to.
In the course of human events, Mr.
Edwards passed from the stage of life
and went to reap the reward of those
who rescue the perishing and support
the orphans. After his death, Mr.. Ed
wards sisters, Misses Fanny and Lau-
ra, continued to care for the boy, and
raised him to manhood. Garner was
proud of his family" and was as
faithful as a watchdog. honest at all
times, and great protection to the tw
good ladies who were befriending him,
and who now also were alone in the
world-Without parents or brothers.
When Garner grew to manhood he did
not fOrsake the home that had shell
tered him, but insisted that it was his
hOme-the only due he had ever known
and that it was his duty and pleasure
to aid in supporting it.: and he did
come to bear a considerable part of its
expenses.
Garner learned to be a brickmason,
and finally moved to Alabama. He be-
came acquainted with Booker Wash
ington, the great negro educator, and
the acquaintance ripened into friend
ship. Washington aided Garner in get
ting work that would enable him to
take a course in the school at Tuske-
gee and at the same time be selfsus-
tanning. Here, as in all of his other
positions, Garner made q good record
and won many honors. In the mean
time he did not forget the folks at
home, and his remittances to them
were always punctual. After finishing
school he married, but continued in the
employ of the school and Booked

Some time ago Miss Laura had a fall

white folks" and she is here yet per-
forming every duty with a devotion
seldom witnessed. Garner wanted to
come too, very much, but he sacrificed
the pleasure to keep his salary going,
because they might need something"
Garner has paid the taxes on the old
home for many years, but in the mean
time he has saved enough to buy him
another home in Alabama. No one of
any color could have been more faith
full and appreciative, and such graft
tude and devotion as this humble ne
gro has shown for his white benefac-
tors is a lovely thing to behold in this
selfish day. 1t is said that he never
once presumed anything or forgat his
place and the respect due to those
around him.

IN JORDAN SACRED WATERS.
Pious Russian Pilgrims Ceremonies in
the Holy Land

Pious Russian Pilgrims Ceremonies in
the Holy Land.
The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that of the Russian pill
grims at the annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks of the River Jor-
dan. A week before the festival itself
crowds of these Slav peasants are seen
trudging along the Jericho road with
every imaginable kind of haversacl
and carry-al ON their backs. Some of
the pilgrims are old and weatherworn,
others young and cheerful, while few,
overcome by sleep and fatigue, are ly
ing prone along the roadside. But
somehow the whole lot, young and old,
manage to reach the banks of the river
in good time for the ceremony.
They spend the night. perhaps, in
the Russian tospice at Jericho where
they simply huddle togeter like flock
of sheep. Before dawn the rooms are
empty and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank, where Greek priests,
who will presently drive most lucra-
tive trade, await them. The principal
articles sold are branches of trees from
various sacred spots, stones from the
Mountain of Temptation hard by,
plants from the wilderness and rosaries
with olive stones for beads. To what
ever religious value is claimed for these
articles the Russian peasants implicitly
give credence, and they willingly pay
their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately pre-
ceding the ceremony the motley crowd
is occupied in prayer and silent devo-
ton. To many pilgrims this occasion
is one of the greatest life can bring,
namely, to be permitted not only to
visit the Jordan, but actually to battle
in its sacred waters. Suddenly chant
ing is heard and thee roWd quickly
opens to let a procession of purple-cl clad
ecclesiastics pass to the waters, then
the pilgrims close in again and station
themselves along the bank, eager and
watchful. And now, quite reverently,
jeweled cross is laid by the patriarch
on the surface of the stream to bless it,
and no sooner does the sacred symbol
touch the water than a dive is made
into it by the enthusiastic crowd, which
splashes and sprays and receives the
baptism, and the longer it lasts the
greater merit the pilgrim will enjoy.
All dripping with water, each shroud
is now wrung out and slowed away to
serve as the cerecloth when the pill
grimage of life is over and the body is
read for the grave. AS the traveller
rides away the next day to Jerusalem
he viii see these childlike peasants,
bedraggled with mud and fatigued by
constant sleeplessness, plodding along
toward the holy city, chanting and
singing as they go and leaning on
their sticks of red. But there is now
ismile on their faces and joy in their
hearts, for have they not bathed in the
waters of Jordan?-Fron the London

NO MORE BUR1ALs NEAR CITIES.

The Evils of It, and Why Cremations
Should be Substituted.
Our barbarous custom of burial was
initiated by the belief in the resurrec-
ton of the living body. The conse-
quent, natural desire to save it from
destruction was strengthened by preju-
dice of early Christians against the RO-
man pyfe. But even the wonderful in
genuity and lavish expenditure Of the
Egyptians have been unavailing to pre-
serve mummies eternally, and if we
could, it is questionable whether We
would make the dross we leave behind
after q slow death, the permanent hab-
itation of our immoral souls. The
prospect of remaining in a body tor
tured by disease or decrepit with senil
ity is not alluring.
Yet we set aside valuable tracts of
land for the stowage of such bodies;
until, regardless of the sacred promise
of their perpetual rest" and inviola-
biIity, municipalities seize the room
when needed and fling the remains
upon a dung-heap. Almost every page
of the records of London and Paris
contain examples of the Dissertation of
abandoned graveyards. and there is
hardly city in the old world that has
not disturbed at least one of these rest
ing-places of their whilom inhabitants.
In our towns of rapid growth, the GEM
etery of to-day becomes the heart of a
metropolis tomorrow; the demolition
of grayeyards In New York and Bos-
ton has been q frequent occurrence I'M
til it fails to attract attention.
When the Colon cemetery of Havana
became overcroWded, the Cubans found
it necessary to clear it of skulls and
promiscuously shoveled them into a
common boneyard. 1t presented an as
pect so CHASTITY that General Wood con-
cluded to cover the pit and to reopen
it only for the next overflow of skele-
tons. expected in about five years. In
certain cemeteries in London corpses
are buried in standing posture because
no room Is deft to lay them down.
Bodies of the poor generally are packed
over each other In tiers, and the trench
is kept open until filled. In the power
ty corner of Calvary cemetery this has
been the customary treatment of the
remains of paupers. Newtown, where
Calvary Is situated, harbors eighty
corpses to every living inhabitant. The
villages of Corona, Elm
hurst and Woodside, once parts of
which now are annexed to
New York and constitute the geograph
icaI center Of the enlarged city, might
increase in population if it We're not
for the proximity of vast and dreary
charneI fields.

Concerning New Settlers.

Attorney Brennan, of Devils
Lake, has received a telegram from
Senator Hansbrough stating that
the United States land commits
sioner would hold that in cases
where it was impossible for claim
ants to reach their claims in due
time on account of the storm or
high water, the department would
hold that they had a reasonable
excuse for not doing so. It will
be necessary, however, in case of
contest, for the claimant to make
an affidavit setting forth that it
was physical impossibility for
him to get to his land. It is un-
derstood that Senator Hansbrough
will introduce a bill to make pro-
vision for cases of this kind.

DEVILS LAKE BAND.
Now one of the Best Bands in the
State-Remember Their Dance.

Now one Of the Best Bands in the
State-Remember Their Dance.
The Devils Lake band is making
fine progress and little more
practice will make it the best band
in the state. Every member has
musical talent and a number are
old time players. The Devils
Lake boys were very fortunate in
securing the services of G. F.
Roach, late of the McPhee
orchestra, as leader. He is a
thorough band man and he is
making remarkable progress. A
good band adds much to the at
tractiveness Of any city and now
that Devils Lake has the making
of a really good band it is the
duty of the public to extend all
possible assistance. Nothing en-
courages a musical organization
SO much as evidence of apprecia-
ton, and while words of praise
have their effect, financial assis-
tance is what really counts. On
Friday evening of next week,
April 25, ball will be given at
the opera house for the benefit of
the band. You are invited to be
present, but if you find that you
cannot attend, the price Of a ticket
will be appreciated. The Inter
Ocean hopes to see the boys liber-
ally patronized. They deserve it.

SPECIAL EXHIBIT.

Ramsey County Will be Represented at
St. Louis FAIR.
Walter F. Cushing, special
representative of the state appoint
ed by Gov. White, was here Mon,
day in the interests of an exhibit
from this county at the Worlds
Fair to be held at St. Louis next
year. Monday night meeting
of the business men was held in
the club rooms at which Mr..
Gushing explained the importance
Of each county in the state being
represented at the coming fair.
An appropriation by the legisla-
ture will be necessary but as the
fair opens in May, 1908, the work
of securing material for the exhi-
bit must be done this year. The
outcome of this meeting Monday
night was the election of Prof. D.
F. Bangs, president Of the Busi-
ness Mems Club, as chairman of a
committee to secure an exhibit
from Ramsey county. He was
empowered to name as many men,
bers of the committee as he should
deem necessary. The selection of
Mr.. Bangs is a good one. He is
an enthusiastic worker for the up
building of Ramsey county, and
With such pusher at the head it
goes without saying that a very
creditable exhibit of the products
of this county will be secured.

sold at $3.50. The past week hay
fed beeves from Montana sold at
$5.70@6.2O, with tailings at $500
to $5.4O.
These consignments attracted a
good deal Of attention in three
ways:
Showing the possibilities of
winter feeding in the extreme
north.
Illustrating the tendency to find
and use other feeds than corn.
Showing the power Of high
prices at Chicago to pull cattle
that had heretofore been going
from Montana to Alaska.
Beef cattle are being gathered
in from all points of the compass
and still the supply does not
equal tho demand.

action has not been taken, he feels
practically certain that Winnipeg
will be in the league.
He conferred with G. P. Walker
while there, and received definite
proposition from him, and also a
definite proposition from other
parties, and on his return at once
issued q call for meeting of the
league managers for Saturday next
in Grand Forks, at which time the
two propositions will be considered
and the franchise duly awarded.
From another source the Herald
learned definitely that there would
be team put in by the Peg fans
should Con Walker fail to put one
in. This is definite, and a good
strong aggregation will be in the
field by the Peg. Pending a def
mite settlement of the question all
players can address Box 1916,
Winnipeg, and get into communi-
cation with the authorities.
With Winnipeg, Devils Lake,
Cavalier, Pembina county, Fargo,
Crookstonand Grand Forks, the
North Dakota league is as certain
of success as anything is certain
in the baseball world. The en-
thusiasm is great in each of the
cities and strong teams will be put
in the field, giving the fans Of the
northwest the fastest ball they
have ever witnessed.
| Manager Callahan announced
yesterday that he had signed Page
and O'Dea, two of the fastest ones
that played in the North Dakota
league last season, and this an.
nouncement will be received with
general satisfaction by the local
fans. Mullane is acting as Mana
ger Callahan's representative in
Minneapolis in picking up team,
and as he is in close touch with all
the best material to be had in the
northwest Grand Forks will GER
tainly have an aggregation that
will go with the best of them.
