New Law Provides That Distance From

New Law Provides That Distance From
Coffin to Top Must be Seven Feet.
While the hunter has been
chased by the game warden, the
school teacher by the vaccination
fiend and while the local regis
trar will see to 1t that there is no
lrregularlty into or out OF tins
world, it may be little satisfac-
ton to know that the grave dig |
ger has to take his medicine along
with the rest of us. Yes, he
stands firstrate chance of get
ting a pinch that he will not soon
forget, for the health law passed
by the last legislature, among
other things" )" says
"No lnterment of any human
body shall be made in any public
or private burial ground unless
the distance from the top of tho
box containing the coffin or cask-
ct be at least seven (7) feet from
thenatural surface of theground.
OF course, the grave dlggers
consider the law great hardship.
If it's to be observed to the letter,
they will in some instances be
compelled to secure steam drills
or use dynamite IN order to pre-
pare a resting place for the dead.
Heretofore, 1t has been the Gus
tom to dig the ordinary grave so
that four or five feet of ground
would cover the box.
To dig a grave to comply strict
ly with the regulation would mean
that the trench would have to be
dug nine and ten feet deep, and
the undertakers and sections re
gard the enforcement of the law
as imposing unnecessary hard
ship upon them. 1t ls said that
at the next meeting of the state
organization of undertakers,
special attention will be directed
to the nullfylng of the objection
able regulation.
1t is pointed out that for the
purpose of burying an infant, the
casketfor which might only meas
ure two feet in length and halfas
wide, 1t would be almost impossl
BILE to sink shaft of such narrow
dimensions to such a great depth,
as the grave would not be sutfi'
GENTLY vide to permit the diggers

TWO CENT FARES

Assembly TO Act,
Not only are the travelling men
of Pennsylvania after reform in
the policy pursued by the Penn
sylvania Railroad in regard to
the sale of mileage books, but it
is SAID that following the demand
to be made on President Cassatt
for the removal of the $40 excess
demanded for the books a move
ment will be started to secure
TWO cent fiat rate.
Threats are being made that
measures will be offered 10 the
Legislature to secure the reduc-
tion in the regular railroad fare,
Pointing to neighboring States,
which have from two and a hall
to one and a half cent rates, and
still other communities that are
striving to have laws passed com
pelling the railroads in those
States to lower their rates, the
com merclal men of Pennsylvania
declare that the three cent fare
is unjust to the men who in their
estimation are responsible for a
large share of the railroad busi-
ness.
There is slight doubt that the
Legislature will pass a bill max
ing a fiat rate fare of two cents a
mile.
