Tyranny of the Funeral.

Rev T. B. Gregory, in the New York
 American.
 The bishops and the undertakers are having a hearty set-to over the funeral question:
 The bishops claim that about most funerals there is far too much display, while, naturally enough perhaps, the undertakers hold that the display is nec- essary.
 We see not how sensible people can do otherwise than to take their stand with the bishops.
 The funeral is getting to be a tyrant of the worst sort, and between casket and hearse, flowers and carriages, the cost of getting buried amounts to a small for tune.
 A neighbor of mine was buried the other day, and at his funeral I counted sixty-two carriages.
 Two of the carriages were filled with flowers, many of them In the most cost ly designs.
 The casket, from all appearances, was a very costly one, and feel safe in say ing that the bill for the funeral could not have been less than $500.
 And all to bury one poor little body! All to lay away in the earth the worn out shell of a poor old man!
 It is no secret that many times the living are thus mortgaged to the dead, and that for the sake of more or less diplay at the dead ones funeral those

who are left behind lave to embarrass themselves in many ways and for many days.
 And what sense is there in 1t?
 Poor humanity, despite its two thou sand years of Christian tutelage Is still immensely pagan, and even in the pres ence of death is inclined to what the post would call the ''vain pomp and glory of the world"
 There are funerals that cost thou- sands of dollars, and the painted pomp" on It's way to the cemetery passes hun dreds of the living, where blanched, pinched faces would wear a happier look if they were given the money that is thrown away on the 'trappings and the suits of woe"
 By all means sentiment must be kept alive in our hearts. Above all things we must show our respect for our beloved dead.
 Let them be laid away tenderly. gent ly. lovingly, and with all due decorum and decency. but let no vulgar display enter into the final act.
 Let us be Christians, not pagans, when we bury our dead

SHOT BY LEvEE GUARD.
Man Who Threatened to Cut Levee at
 Scott Slough Is Killed.

Shreveport, La, June 21.-Jesse Hamilton, who is alleged to have ex- pressed a determination to cut the levee at Scott Slough, about thirty-five miles north of Shreveport, on the Caddo side of the river, and to have started across the river for that pur- pose, was shot and killed by Tom Col quitt, a levee guard, about o'clock this morning.
 Previous to the shooting the guards were fired upon by party of men who approached the Caddo side in a skiff, presumably for the purpose of cutting the levee. The guard returned the fire and it is thought killed or wounded one of the occupants of the boat. The high water has overflowed several plantations on the Bossier side and the growing crops have been destroyed. The losses will be heavy.

Many Changes to Be Made.

A number of suggestions made by out siders were considered but none of them had been acted upon when at o'clock the committee took a recess for dinner. Indeed, none of the propositions, includ- ing those presented by Senator Lodge had at that time been more than tenta- lively considered and members of the committee expressed the belief that many changes would be made before the final acceptance of the platform.
 The tariff plank is attracting more att tention than any other feature of the platform and members of the sub-com- mittee think that no agreement will be reached until a very late hour. Already questions have been raised as to the wording of the plank, and Representative Dalzell and Senator Hansbrough are op- posing the clause relating to reciprocity.
 Mir. Dalzell does not want any reference to the subject, while Senator Hansbrough is contending for the suggestion contained in his resolution that an adjustment of
 the tariff should be made with regard to
 enlarged commercial relations with for
 eign countries. The reciprocity clause is urged by those who recall that 1t was in the last speech of President McKin- ley. and that the republicans should en- dorse that portion of his policy.
 The great effort is to make the tariff plank a stand pat declaration and at the same time hold out promise for re- vision when necessary. How to word the
 revision clause has been giving the re- publican leaders some concern for several days. and the subcommittee on resolu- lions finds it the most vexatious question 1 before it.

Maze of Pipes in a Biz Hotel.

A. C.David. in the June Architectural
 Record.
 In every ''sky-scraper'' large amount of space must be devoted to the power equipment-to the boilers, engines. dyna. mos and pumps necessary to heart, light and ventilate the rooms, to run the ele. vators. and to operate the plumbing sys tenn; but in the case of a hotel this me- chanical equipment is very much more complex, and it's requirements are very much more exacting. Much more power. for instance. is needed at night than dur ing the day time, the plumbing equipment has to be arranged on a far more elab- crate scale. as may be seen from the fact that when the house is full an enor- nous hot water supply Is necessary to feet the several hundred bath tubs be- tween and g o'clock in the morning. Furthermore In addition to the services in it's basements for large and convenient kitchens, for the storage of great stocks of food and wine, for ice-making and laundry machinery, for the pneumatic tube, telephone and bell services, for the servants dining and toilet rooms, and for a number of additional mechanical con- trivances, such as the water filters, the rubbish crematory, and the machine for charging water with gas. The difficulty of providing house room for all of this necessary equipment was increased in the St. Regis by the fact that, although the building was eighte-1 stories high, the superficial area of iSs site was not much more than 12000 square feet. In order to obtain the necessary space, the exca- vation had to be made exceptionally deep and three stories were placed under ground. Even then the network of pipes in the engine room is utterly bewider- ing to a visitor and would be so even to the engineer of the building were not the apparatus carefully mapped and num- bered. In looking at this maze of pipes however, it's analogy to the intestinal convoutions in the human body is for cibly suggested.
