FUNERALS BY MAIL

japanese at Vancouver, b. c., are
cremating their countrymen and
sending the ashes home by parcel
post. Numerous bulky letter., talk
ing some l5 cents, or three rates, in
postage stamps, have passed through
the mails. They contained the ashes
of departed children of the rising
sun. Shrewd Japs, it is said, de
vised this means of sending remains
of friends home, and thus escaping
the heavy freight charges. 1t is be-
lieved that postofiice authorities may
investigate tie new method. and us
there is no law against sending Gre
mated remains through the mails,
the government may pass special
legislation to prevent it.

STORIES oF TALMAGE-


The peculiar rhetorical style of DR..
Talmage can best be understood from
an example. In one of his sermons
in a famous series devoted to the
gambling hells of New York, of
which he had made q study, he cleo
trified an audience one Sunday
morning with this climax of oratory /:
"When they bet on one number
they call it a gate!
"When they bet on two numbers
they call it a saddle!
"When they bet on three numbers
they call it horse!
"And thousands of young men get
on to that gait and mountthat saddle
and ride that horse to damnation! T"
1t was easy for the old-style min
isters to criticise that sort of rhetoric
in the pulpit, but such expressions
stuck in the memory of listeners
Brooklyn Eagle.
When Talmage syndicated his
sermons he prepared them a week
or two in advance, as he had to do to
supply the presses in time. And
when he went to Europe and the
Holy Land he sold his sermons before
he left New York. They were print
ed as having come by cable, One
was printed on a Monday morning
as having been delivered at Queens
town, whence Talnage sailed on the
preceding Saturday, and after Tall
mage got here he acknowledged that
It had never been delivered at ALL

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Union Street Resident Tells How to
Settle Bicycle Matter.

Union Street Resident Tells How to
Settle Bicycle Matter.
Mr.. Editor: If you will kindly give
me space in your paper, would like
to express my views on the much dis
cussed question of weeds and bicycles
on Union street.
Being resident and property own
( er on Union street and also a bicycl-
ist, think l can look at it impair
TALLY. If our city fathers would re-
quire property owners or tenants to
keep their sidewalks clean, botn sides
OF Union street could be used and
not all passing to and fro be confined
to one side as it is now. This would
afford ladies and chiluren who are
disturbed walk on the western side,
and the bicylist could still have the
right to use the side that was made,
especially for their convenience.
When bicyclist are allowed the use
Of one sidewalk that does not take
away the rights of pedestrians, for if
they are not willing to snare that
walk with the wheels they can have
the entire western side df it was
kept ciean) which is room enough for
an ordinary person.
If this is practical for Union street
Il don't see why 1t is noD, could 1t
not be enforced on other streets and
thus the whole town present cleaner
and more attractive appearance, and
walking a thing possible along some
sidewalks? The greatest difficulty is
in the vacant lots and there is where
most of our weeds are, and property
owners should be held responsible.
This is to my mind the best way to
settle the discussed problems. s.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF THIS
DIVISION AND OTHER OFF,

He expressed himself as having great
hopes for this port in the future and
ne says that the Southern railway
have only the kindest feeling for
Brunswick and that it will be their
purpose in future, as in past, to divert
every pound of freight to this port

BRANTLET TALKS
or SITUATION
-
POPULAR CONGRESSMAN THINKS
DEMOCRATS MAY CONTROL
THE NEXT HOUSE.
OUTLOOK is VERY BRIGHT
He is Also OF the Opinion That the
Democrats Have an Excellent
Chance of Eiectins a
President in 1904. z

Hon. w. G. Brantley, the able repre-
sentative of the Eleventh district in
congress, together with Mrs. Brant-
ley, reached the city yesterday from
Blackshear and are quarUered at the
Oglethorpe.
Col Brantley paid the News an
appreciated call last night, and talk
ed interestingly OF the political situa-
tion generally. He is OF the opinion
tnat Chairman Griggs has done mag
nifcent service in the cause of demo
cracy as chairman OF the congression-
al committee, and while he says the
odds are against us, he would not be
surprised to see the country render
the house to the democrats in the
fall election.
In speaking of the sudden retire
ment OF Speaker Henderson, Mr..
Brantley says he thinks that the ac-
ton of Mr.. Henderson was due more
to his fears as for reelection as speak
er OF the house, rather than to his
success in the Third Iowa district
Speaker Henderson, says Mr..
Brantley. rs decidedly In an awkward
attitude. His immediate constituency
are demanding a revision OF the tar
iif and the great majority OF the wot-
ers in his district are committed to
this policy, Whereas the republican
party as a whole favor protective
tariff and on this issue, ne woutu
have to face his colleagues in his
contest for speaker. He was between
Two fires and sought cover"
Mr.. Brantley holds the opinion that
the tariff question will be the cardinal
features of the next presidential cleo
lion and argues that all questions, such
as the trusts, Imperialism, etc, are
secondary to this great question,
which. after all, is the great balance
waeel from which auxiliary measures
get their momentum. He thinks the
coal strike in the east and lone year
OF hODSSVelI LOBelHSI Win OIuct hP
parent evils, have all served to play
into democracy's hands. ''and" said the
congressman, while l am not pro
pact, it does seem to me tnat If the
democrats will look after their fences
and harmonic within the party, write
a good stable platform and nominate
some man who enjoys the confidence
OF the people that they will have a
splendid chance Of placing democra-
tic president in the white house In
1904" Mr.. Brantley says he has
been taking a little trip over his dis
trict, and with the exception OF an
outlook for a snort cotton crop, he
finds the people prosperous and happy.
He is enjoying the very best OF health
himself, and, If appearances count for
anything, he will be in good shape to
give the republicans good. lively tus-
