CREMATION OF DEAD.
10000 People Buried Old Fashioned
Way Annually in New York.

Cremation merely reaches IN shorter
period the same final result as burial,
says Municipal Affairs Fleshy parts
Of the corpse decompose in the earth
in five or ten years; during the whole
period of decomposition they constitute
nothing but a putrid mass of carriOn.
Bones which take centuries to crumble
are unceremoniously carted from one
cemetery to another when necessity
compels their removal, and increases the
horror of death after they have ceased
to be identified and claimed. If they are
converted, with the flesh. into ashes in
one hour they are insured against desc
Grafton The volume and weight of
bodies are reduced by the process of
cremation some 995 per cent
If ashes were placed in the grave of
an urn cemetery, as occasionally is done,
the dead would leave more room for the
living than their intact bodies demand.
Two hundred city lots are now required
to bury in the old fashioned way the
seventy thousand persons that annually
die in Greater New York. We probably
could save more than a hundred and
fifty of these precious lots if ashes of
the seventy thousand were placed in urn
cemeteries, preserved in inches Of n col
unbsrium 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 liv-
ing then would use and from the i'm
provements they would make upon
them

The agonizing itching and burning
Of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful

economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humOur
remedies of the civilized world.

the thickened cutiele. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation

Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment. costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severest

WARSHIP DELAYS.
President Is Determined on Pushing
Work Rendering Country Safe.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 25.-President
Roosevelt and the officials of the admin
istratiOn are much concerned at the de-
lay encountered in the completion of
warships of all classes in the navy. This
IS extremely embarrassing at time
when the necessity for a large increase
OF the fleet is imperative.
The determination of the administra-
ton to remedy the evil is significant of
the efforts toward preparedness" for
possible war.
Secretary Moody has transmitted to
the president q report by Rear Admiral
Bowles. chief constructor Of the navy,
on the subject of the delay in compile
ton of the warships of the navy. Score
tary Moody says in part.
II respectfully invite your attention
especially to paragraph Il of the report,
in which it is shown that the compari-
sons ordinarily made as to the speed of
the completion Of Our own ships and
those of foreign nations have been in
some cases misleading on account of the
fact that in England the ships are reck-
oned as completed at the time of their
delivery under the contract. while in
point of fact much remains to be done
after that time to prepare the vessels
for sea.

whether or not there is any way in

THEY DON'T OBJECT.
Panama Officials Agree to Pro-

Paris. Feb. 25-It is reported in re-
sponsible quarters that the chief Off
Gals of the Panama Canal company
have informed American officials here
that the former had no objection to
the two changes in the agreement sug-
gested in the recent dispatch from
General Knox, which proposed the &C
ceptance of the company's tender sub
ject to the two notifications and to
the United States senate's ratification.
1t is assumed that this Willingness on
the part of the company has been com
municated to the authorities at Wash
ington. AS Mr.. Knox's proposition is
understood to refer to the ratification
of the treaty before March 4, the Off
Gals say that the attitude which the
company will assume after that date
is still undiscloSed.

A Supreme Court Decision Involving

Washington. Feb. 25.-The supreme
court has ended the efforts of the
Fourth National bank of st. Louis the
First National bank of New York and
Ford Harvey to secure payments of
their claims against G. S. Cross, ex-
president of the First National bank

of which he was president. He evaded
detection until November 1888. when
an investigation was ordered. He then
killed himself. after making an assign
ment of his property to William Mar
tindale. The property was sold under
agreement and the banks and Mr..
Harvey claimed the proceeds, under
the terms of the assignment made by
Mr.. Cross. The Bank of Emporia,
through its assignee, claimed the pro-
ceeds under a previous assignment
