Seasick French Sailors.

Bitter complaint is made by

face a storm in the Bay of Biscay,
which Frustrated no fewer than 200
seamen and large number of Of

JUDGES KEEN SENSE OF SMELL

In a recent case before Judge Fee

Rhode Island, at Woonsocket, a great
dea, of fun was created by the diff
ferent descriptions Of pig that the
defendant was charged with stealing,
but which he claimed to have bought
and placed in pen with other pigs.
There were such varied descrip-
lions of the pig that finally the coun-
sci for the defendant announced that
tho pig in question was within reach
and could readily be produced in
court. The air in the court room,
which was pretty well crowded, had
become rather foul by this time. AS
the lawyer made this announcement,

The manner of shaking Is worth

HOUSES IN GRANT ROW.

The eastern portion of the row of houses
known as Grant row. located on the south
side of East Capital street between I'd and
Sd streets has been bought by James oDon-
nell. through John +. Dono1ue & Sons, real
estate brokers' The purchase comprises
seven of the large houses. and they were
bought through the Swartzel, Rheem &c
Hensey Company, who represent the own
ers of the property. the Phoenix Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Hartford,
Conn The consideration was about 100000.
The houses are numbered from 2I5 20 227
East Capitol street. and each house has a
frontage of % feet q inches Two-story
stables are In the rear. 1t Is said that the
new owner will turn several of the houses
into apartments.
The houses were built number of wears
ago by the late Capt. Grant with the fsea
that the eastern section OF the city would
become the leading residence locality. For
this reason they were designed on a rather
elaborate scale and substantially con-
structed. and were cIassed among the finest
residences in any part of the city.

The Catholic Church and Cremation.


Your paper of February 1 contained an
item on cremation, taken from the Van
couver Province. In which occurred this SEN
tence: 1.-THE Roman Catholic Church OBJ
Jects to cremation mainly for the reason
that 1t destroys, or seems to destroy. the
personality which it holds should be but
temporarily committed to the EARTH
That statement alleges silly reason, and
the Catholic Church is not fool. Crema-
ton is forbidden to Catholics chiefly be-
cause 1t has been adopted by anti-Christlan
societies as a mark of their rejection of the
faith, of their reputation Of the authority
of the church, and of their doubt concern
ing Immortality. 1t is condemned, more
over, because 1t Is a repuisive way of dis
posing of the dead, horribly suggestive of
hel-fire, and lacking in respect for the tenn
pie of the soul. 1t is, furthermore, objec-
tionable because it does not harmonize with
the funeral rites of the church.
These are reasons founded on religion.
The claim of the advocates of burning. that
it is superior to interment on sanitary
grounds, can be discussed by doctors Gre
nation certainly aids the concealment OF
crime. ARTHUR REILLY.
