ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
The Daughter Writes EIoquently of
Her Dead Mother.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has spoken
with sympathetic devotion of her
mother, whose death occurred at her
home in the east March q. The
New Haven Register thus records her
gentle expression:
"The last five years of my mothers
life | have needed the symathy of all
my friends; now that she has found
freedom from the body, need only
their tender congratulations. When
suffering and sorrow are ended should
we not rejoice? Her broken mental
and physical condition made life a
tragedy for her and fer all in the
household. 1t has required all my
philosophy and self control and religi-
Gus faith to get through the ordeal
Now that she has gone into spirit life,
my heart is relieved of it's burden of
sorrow over her: l know that messen-
ger angels met her, and will care for
her. ! think she went into the spirit
world a little child, as she had be-
come one again here. and she will
grow into all the joys of the spirit
realm, under the care OF loving
friends. | am happy in knowing that
nothing was left undone for her on
earth. and that l never gave her an
hour of sorrow in my life. Her wishes
are carried out regarding the DISPOSE
ton of her body. Before it was ever
spoken of as possible in America, my
mother. a most progressive woman,
said she wished to be cremated. /
remember as child the consterna-
ton this statement of hers always
caused the conventional mind. /
am glad the world has progressed to
a statewhere this request Of hers was
a simple one to grant. 1t is the only
sensible, decent, safe, and kind dispo-
sltion of the dead. Pure white heat
does quickly, what the mould and
worms of the grave do slowly. The
earth is polluted by decomposing
corpses. 1t is a relief to me to know
that my mothers body which even
at the age of 81, was remarkably
beautiful in death. will never become
mass of corruption. Ashes to ashes,
spirit to spirit"

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, April 12-Aftera a
speech by Senator Latimer in support
Of the house railroad rate bill, Sena-
tor Foraker consumed practically all
of the remainder of the days session
of the senate. He claimed the bill
to be discussed had unconstitu-
tional from various points of view.
He was frequently interrupted by
other senators. Senator Lodge spoke
in support OF the practice for grant
ing lower rates on goods intended
for export than on those used in
domestic consumption.
The feature CO the proceedings in
the house was a speech b. Mr.. Coch-
ran of New York who launched into
defense OF the Hepburn rate bill
and the high position taken by the
mouse not only in the exceptional
character of the legislation, but III
the dlgnlfed way in which the bill
passed the house. In this connection
he ridiculed the constitutional debat-
ers in the senate. Increased pay
for letter carriers, a subject which
has been a fruitful source of i'm
passioned eloquence for a number of
years, also gave the partisans of these
men an opportunity to put themselves
again on record.

chance of war arising from the diff

and that there was no ground for the
