PRELATE WITH BOOKER WASH
INGToN AND JACOB RIIS VISITS
TENEMENT DISTRICT.
Archbishop Of Canterbury Wanted to
See the HoveIs in Americas
Greatest City.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-One of the
first questions which the Archbishop
of Canterbury asked when he arrived
in America was: Where is Booker T.
Washington? Shall I be able to see
him."
Yesterday the archbishop learned
that Mr.. Washington was in New York
on business connected with the Tus-
kogee institute and sent for the dis
tinguished educator to come to see
MIN. The primate of all England, and
the highest parsonage in Great Britain
next to the royal family, with a seat in
the house Of Lords and a salary of
tour of the tenements with Dr. WASH
ington. Jacob A. Riis and police SER
geant.
The party went to the old Five
Points. Mr.. Riis told what it was like
when Dickens wrote of it. Here" said
Mr.. Riis, taking them to the tene-

We look at modern New York, sIet me
show you piece Of old England, as
like it as can be. 1t is the only bit of
the kind l know of in New York city,
Many years ago this was called Muir
derer's alley, and it deserved it's name
Thieves and crooks of all kinds knew
it's byways that led into Pearl street
and Baxter street, and had their run
there.
You call this Murderer's alley?"
said the archbishop. 1T might be
Whitechapel. 1t is truly a piece of old
London
The party went forth to the Mulberry
Bend and heard the story of how that
unutterable pigsty was transformed
into a park. To show what it had been
like. they went up the street to No. 81
and through a covered cellarway into
the yard. An ash-barrel took UP more
than half the passage, but the arch
bishop wrestled with it successfully.
Within were big rear tenements.
Detective Sergeant Downing, who
accompanied the party, said a word in
Italian to the tenants, and they opened
their doors with hospitable invitation
The party went into a smotnering
bedroom, and saw where the law had

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
ssting nature in doing it's work The
proprietors have SO much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

WORKING OUT BIG CANAL IDEAS
Isthmian Commission Has Not Yet De-
cided On Character of Ditch.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 5.-Offi-
Gals of the istnmian canal commission
say that no agreement or decision has
been reached concerning the character
of the waterway to be constructed be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
whether the canal shall be built with
locks or on the sea level
work under instructions of the COM
mission. These are seeking to solve
various problems at different places
along the route. When these reports
are made the commission will give
them consideration and submit it's
views to the president. 1t is expected
that at least six months, and probably
longer, will be required to determine
the nature of the canal to be con-
structed.
One of the parties, under George
Ehle, is investigating the problem of
preventing floods in the Chagres river
from destroying the canal after it's
construction. The plan under discus
sio is to build tunnel, perhaps fifteen
miles long, which will carry the sur
plus water from the river to the Paci-
tic ocean.

Through all the wild panic, during
all that inferno with fire and smoke

Of the doomed boat remained at their

avert the catastrophe.

OF the second and third decks also
caved in. But before this happened
the tug Walter Tracey had come along
side the burning steamer and lashed
to it. Many of the passengers were
taken off by the crew of the Tracey,
which remained alongside the steamer
until the tugs pilot house took fire.
The scene on North Brother island
as described by the rescuers was pit
iful one. Body after body was washed
ashore or brought in by boats, and
added to the long row on the beach.
Fifty-three persons died there whnc

those alive were taken to the hospitals
on the island or sent across the river
to hospitals In Manhattan. Here am
balances from almost all the hospitals
in Greater New York, and every other
found, were put into service.
Approximately 500 bodies have been
recovered and are now being tagged at
the morgues OF Bellevue hospital and
Harlem. Divers were still busy at a
late hour taking bodies from the hold

with the remains Of human beings,
while the bodies of scores who leaped
or were thrown into the river have not
been recovered.
Capt. Van Schaick and his two
pilots, named Edward Vanwart and I.

A surging crowd is now being held
back by police lines formed about the
city morgue at the foot of East Twen-

gather as soon as 1t became rumored
about the city that the dead would be
brought to Manhattan from North

at first the dead had been taken.

BURIAL CUSTOMS.
The Nsarious Methods Used In The
lnisposnI al the Dead.

The disposal Of she dead among civ
ilized nations has casually consisted Of
one Of the following three ways
Firstly, Gt closing NJ the body in eartl
'or stone; seCondly.of burning thc body
and committing e. earth the ashes
and. thirdly. the ambalming of the
body. The earliest form of intermeni
of which we have any account was
ttlat OF the paleolithic cave dwellers
who buriea their dead in natural grot
toes and crcvices In the rock similar &c
those in which they hld lived.
%hen we come tO the later stone age
We find that the people throughout
Europe buried In chambered harrows
and cairns. Next comes the bronze
age, with It's changes, and among 9th
ers tbe burial uf the dead. The cham
hered harrows passed away, anl H.
their places harrows were frequently
used without chambers. and cemeteries
of stone cis.s sct In the ground were
largely employed. Frequently RAT
ural emincncc ~ sand OT gravel was
the place assigned for burial. and
around it were circles of standing
stones. During these prehistoric times
cremation was also practiead side by
side with the simple mtcrmonts Of the
people. In pagan Umos it was custom
ary. whether ,Ac dead were buried
wiih or without cremation, 20 put In
their graves such articles as urus OF
vessels Of clay, hrou2c gold or glass
clothing. personal ornaments, imple
mcnts and weapons of warfare
Cremation was largely abolished
when Christianity spread over the
country, and the intcunent of grave
goods was restricted TO kings and
priests. who continued 10 be buried in
their royal and saccrdotnl robes and
with their insignia Of office.
Down 20 the tenth century cremation
was customary among tie tribes locat

sacrifices IN honor Of the dead pre-
vailed. Records ~ cycwitncsscs of the
