Memphis, Tenn, Feb. Cone OF
the most novel suits ever filed in Shell
by county is that in the chancery court
by Mrs. Matilda Matthews against the
Elmwooa Cemetery 90. ct al, through
which it is sought to have the re-
mains of child, dead for many years,
removed from certain spot in an
Eimwood cemetery lot in order to
make room for a person not yet dead.
The complainant alleges in her bill

will not live much longer, that her
husband paid for the lot, and that she
will not be buried anywhere but in
the spot by her husbands side, and
prays the court to order that the re.
mains of the little one be removed in

Project on Foot to Establish One in
Louisville.
It Will Give Kentucky Much Need.
ed Scientific Institu-
ton.
TO BE ASKED FOR $780, 900

II the plans Of spirited citi-
zens Of Louisville do not miscarry
Kentucky will soon have n resesr CHI
laboratory that will equal any similar
institution In many OF the Northern
and Eastern cities and will eclipse any
Of the present laboratories south Of
the Ohio river.
II the laboratory is established it
will cost in the neighborhood Of $780,
900 at the least. The present plan is
to induce John d. Rockefeller to con-
tribute a sum Of money toward its es-
adjustment, ana to add to this amount,
il it is found necessary, as much
money ss can be raised in Louisville.
1t is argued that Kentucky is one Of
the great centers Of medical instruc-
ticn in the United States. There are
probably more medical colleges In
Louisville than any other CITY Of the
United States, with the possible ex-
oeptions of New York and PhilAdel.
phia. The medical colleges there are
the Hospital College of Medicine, the
Kentucky University, the Louisville
Medical College, the National Medical
College. University Of Louisville and
the Southwestern Homeopathic Col.
lege. There are also the Louisville
College of Pharmacy and the Louis
willie College Of Dentistry.
But it is claimed that with all these
institutions there is not q well equip
ped and thoroughly modern laboratory
for scientific research in the entire
city or state. It is argued that physi-
clans who are professors in these insti-
tutions are continually complaining
on account Of the lack Of equipment,
and that there are not sufficient ar
ticles in any Of the laboratories to
make certain tests and scientific ex-
periments that are regarded as ALSO
lutely necessary. For these reasons IL
is argued that Louisville has ample
ground to make claim on Mr.. Rookie
Teller for assistance.

NJ. COLONNE PLEASED.

Edouard Colonue who conducted the first rehear-
sal and concert Of the Philharmonic Society, has
returned to Paris with pleasant recollection OF
his visit here. After the first public rehearsal he
was so enthusiastic over the performance CT the
orchestra that addressed the following letter to
Richard Arnold, the vice-president and concert
master Of the Philharmonic Society:
Ny Dear Friend: I canont wait until this evening
TO tell Of the artistic pleasure which the or
chestra Of the Philharmonic Society gave me yes
terday during the execution Of our long and dlth-
cult programme. EigOT. harmony, expression
these are the qualities Of which your marvellous
orchestra gave proof Yesterday afternoon. And
when I think that such splendid results were OBJ
tanned in few hours Of rehearsal must confess
that ii is due only the merit Of the players
but also to the sympathy with which they have
honOred 1 therefore ask you, my dear friend,
TO express to your COwOrkeTs my admiration and my
gratefuness, and to assure them that viii always
treasure the most cordial remembrance of my very
short visit among you.
The new departure Of the Philharmonic Society
this season has aroused much comment in musical
circles, and after the first concert many Of the old
subscribers wrote to the society to express their
Chestra by the advent of the new conductor.
Prominent among them was Andrew Carnegie, the
president Of the society. who wrote TO Mr.. Arnold
as follows: We were all entranCed BY last night 5

the conductor is so is the orchestra should like

the institutions has involved a preference for
regular over occasional dodgers. with a charge
OF 3s Cd a week for the former and "a a night
for the latter The main purpose OF supplying
cheap board and decent lodgings for struggling
clerks, artists. musicians men in the lower ranks
Of professions and victims of misfortune in need
Of encouragement has been kept steadily in
view. and the success Of the FIVE undertakings
has been largely attributable to Lord Rowton's
personal interest and constant supervision. He
was regular visitor, and knew his way about
the houses as wen as the Oldest lodger. He
had slept the beds for he had tested MANY
OF them in his own house and he had eaten the
eightpenny dinners, consisting OF soup, roast
beef and potatoes and pudding, and had watched
the scenes IN the reading and smoking rooms
and am not sure but that he had played check
ers or chess with the dodgers Moreover he
had carefully scrutinized the accounts sys-
tematized the purchase Of supplies, and never
swerved from his purpose of converting the
dodgers into self-respecting guests Of self-sus-
tanning hotels for the poor.
So It has come 20 pass that Lord Rowton has
left behind him something more precious even
than unique biography OF a famous states
man or the record Of an ideal private secretary,
more powerful than the Prime Minister'S own
associates. Neither organized charity nor mu-
nicipal enterprise has done well in London
as the Rowton Houses Limited in ministering
to the comfort and welfare of the most deserv-
ing class OF unfortunate and struggling poor
and these model hotels have been built and are
operated without expense to taxpayers or to
philanthropists and with a secure return for the
investors money. Every night the Rowton
Houses are crowded with occupants who are
forced 10 live upon q shilling or eighteen pence
a day. The floors are spotlessly clean; the sheets
are fresh every morning. and there are warm
blankets on the beds The cubicles are small.
but well ventilated. and comfortable sleeping
places as can be found in London. There
lavatories, bathrooms and dressing rooms With
excellent appointments; there are homeIike
breakfast and dining rooms. with small tables.
and boilers. grills., ovens and cooking ranges,
and there are couforta bic reading and smoking
rooms with open fires. where they chat with
one another and find sympathy and amusement.
Tramps are shut out. and. as no liquor is sold
at the milk bars. tOpers not attracted In
a real sense the Rowton Houses are clubhouses,
where the dodgers can read, talk or smoke and
have the companionship Of men of their
sort; and these privileges with comfortable
meals and clean beds. can be enjoyed at net
cost Of from fourteen to nineteen pence a day.
The benefactor who succeeded in accomplishing
these results was beloved by every friend for his
qualities OF heart and mind; and how precious
to the community is the example of his noble
life! So while the Rowton peerage has become
extinct there is something immortal that lives
and bears fruit. I. n. F.

THE DEADLY THIRD RAIL

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in to-day's issue reads almost

least for their dO-nOthing policy where the Ives
say nothing OF the comfort OF their patrons and
employees are concerned a shield over the third
rail Is desrabler' What vigorous language! II
the newspapers had onIv talked that way several
years ago about the PaTk-ave. tunnel the improve
ments now under way would have long ago been
completed and a score or two OF human lives savedl
It Is truly desirable that the third rail should be
covered and the killing OF employees and. someJines
pa irons Of the elevated roads stopped forthwith.
and the newspapers OF this city should take the
matter I'D and IN no uncertain terms arouse the
people the point where they vii demand ana
secure this reform
At present IL Is mostly employees OF the elevated
who are being shocked TO death by the murder0us
third rail. Must we wait until dozen OF more OF
the travelling public have been killed before any
