The Acknowledgement Rules Against
HuriaIs on the Cooperative Plan.

HuriaIs On the Cooperative Plan.
TOPEKA, Kan, June All the Attorney.
General Of Kansas has his way about It
the o folkA Of this State will be forced
TO forego the pleasure of beirg buried in
style.
About five years ago al ingenious .'ay-
hawker invented a scheme known as n
mutual burial association, copyrighted
It and has been living in clover ever since,
The association issues policies to all who
can show a certificate Of good health guar
anteeing to furnish the holder upon death
with a first class funeral, not to exceed
500 in cost.
The organizer established State head
quarters and a State association, with
local chapters. In each town he went
to the leading undertaken and made him
the agent.
For every policy that is issued the in
ventor gets a small fee and when a mem
Der dies an assessment is levied upon the
other members. This is calculated TO
amount to 500 for each burial, but in some
cases the undertaken, who gets all the as
sessment, rakes in more than that sum.
A good eoffn, at least four carriages, a
fine hearse and some flowers are guaran-
teed to all members when their time comes
to be, rut under the sod. II a M lapees
IN his payments to the association he for
feits practically all that he has paid in.
This fact is what has led to the troubles
of the association. The Acknowledgement
insists that this provision makes the az
sooiations insurance companies, and as
such they must incorporate inc become
subject to the supervision Of the Insurance
Commissioner. The fees and taxes which
this would entail are such that most of the
associations will be forced to quit business.
For a number OF years the burial asso-
Citations have prospered. The plan is mod
elled upon the Chinese system of guar
anteaing to take back TO China the bodies
of those who die in a foreign country.
The Insurance Commissioner is preparing
to serve notices upon the companies that
unless they comply with the ruling of the
Acknowledgement they will be prosecuted
and all solicitors will be arrested for doing
business without a license, 1t has been
charged that there has been a lot of graft
in connection with the conduct of some Of
the associations. and as under the insurance
law their books and papers will be open TO
inspection the department will be able to
find out IL they are being honestly con-
Quoted.
As nearly as can be learned there are
about seventy-fve associations doinF buS,-
ness and each will have to pay VI d ,r The
new ruling about $3.50 a year 10 the State.

IN GREENWICH TRIANGLE.
A Bit OF New York Where Irregularities
Abound and Trees Grow on Houses,

n Blu u Nc" nOEh NntTt ITTebuiITilif
Abound and Trees Grow on Houses,
In old Greenwich Village is the Green
wich triangle, bounded by Greenwich
avenue, West Eleventh and West Tenth
streets and Sixth avenu
Within this territory, inhabited by 600
persons, there are two streets, two avenue,
two places, a row. an alley and a hundred
houses. One OF the places is Milligan
place, a small blind alley running not at
right angles to Sixth avenue, but diagonally
from it. 1t is made up of four houses,
zach with a frontage Of IT'S feet, but each
with a different depth.
At Eleventh street and Sixth avenue the
corner is bevelled. A little way beyond on
Eleventh street there is a blind alley, and
beyond that is Garden row, a row of houses
with a garden or plot Of greensward and
trees in front Of each. To the west OF Gar
den row are fifteen houses built to the stoop
line.
On Greenwich avenue from Eleventh TO
Tenth street, south, there are twenty-five
buildings, no two of which ave exactly
the same dimensions of lot, either in front
age or depth. The line Of West Tenth
street between Greenwich avenue and Sixth
avenue is broken by Patchen place, which
includes eleven houses Of different lines
Of frontage, six of which have the depth o.
90 feet, while the other five vary in depth
from 1913 to 1888 feet.
The irregularities of this block extend
further than the frontage Of the streets
composing 1t and include the irregularities
Of the two blind alleys, Patohen, and Mill
gan places. At the end Of each there is TO
be seen after nightfall a lantern, recalling
the days OF old New York when the con
stables united TO other duties those Of Of.
fetal lamp lighters.
As many as $50 900 persons a day pass re
Greenwich triangle. Those of them who
are observant perceive something unusual
in New York city-trees growing upon IN"
tons of houses,

Richard Burton was an offshoot OF a
Westmoreland fam lily, a branch Of which
had settled in Ireland, where it had in
Guided among its members several men Of
eminence. not only in the army, but also
In the navy and in the Church. There was,
for instance, a Bishop Burton and an Adj
miral Burton. There was long a ~baronetcy
in the family, but it fell into allegiance
about 1872, and all attempts Of the later
Bdrtons to substantiate their claim to it
proved Intellectual. Richard Burton be-
liovs1 himself to he descended in a left
hand way from Louis XIV. 1t seems that
La Belle Montmorency, a beauty Of the
French court, had a son she significantly
called Louis lie Jeune. She put him
in a basket Of flowers and carried
him to Ireland, where he became known as
Louis nrelincourt Young. This louis
foung's granddaughter married the Rev.
Edward Burtons R.%hHrd Burton's grand
father. 1t is therefore possible that a
runnel OF the blood OF lie Grand Me- ndrIue
tripped through Burton's veins. Our au-
thor points out, however, that Burton is a
Romany name, and IA Richard Burton had

We must sum up very CURLY the events
Of the next Twenty-Five years. We can
scarcely do more than enumerate the
achievements In exploration and literature
that belong to this period. The two volumes
published in 1853 under the title Of WAN
behring's in West Africa" set forth the ex-
p~erienoes and observations which followed
Burton's acceptance Of the ~consulship at
that white mans grave, Fernando Pc.
No neighboring locality which he visited
attracted him more than the CAMERON
country, and bis work, Two Trips to
Gorillaland,' Is n Of the brightest and
raciest Of his books. In November, 1858,
the British Government appointed him
commissioner and bearer OF a message
to the King Of Dahomey. His account
Of the mission, published In two volumes,
gave a vivid description of the famous
"Amazons" who constituted the body
guard Of the negro sovereign. II seems
that Of their strength there was no oues-
ton, and, according to Burton, ali the
women Of Dahomey are physically superior
to the mon. The hInazons are bound to
<~celibaoy, but how scrupulously they adj
hered to 1t appears from the fact that,
at the time Of Burton's visit 1850 out Of
1000 bodyguards were under confinement
for breaking their vows.
From Fernando Pc Burton was trans
ferred to the consulate at the Brazilian port
Of Santos, and the results Of his exploration
Of the highlands Of Brazil were described
in a couple Of volumes published in 1859.
After reeigning the consulate at Santos
in 1868, he travelled, at the request Of the
Foreign ONCE, through various parts of
South America, visiting Paraguay twice.
and after the second journey making his
way across the continent to africa, in Peru.
He was next made Consul at Damascus.
where he remained about two years and
where he made the acquaintance OF the
Algerian hero and exile, Add ell Kadir, and
Of the polyandrous lane Digby, the divorced
wife Of Lord marlborough, and of six or
seven other European husbands, who
finally married a Bedouin sheikh. Mrs.
Burton, probably an unwilling witness,
testified that though al, she was a most
beautiful woman and orunde dame Jus
qu'du bout des doio's." Burton's dismissal
from the Damascus consulate, not. Of
course, on the SCORE Of improbity, for he
was incompatible, but because he had
stirred up too much trouble, grieved him
to the soul. In 1872 Burton made a journey

who is unwilling to submit ms c.lims
