Washington, Pennsylvania, had
the first crematory erected in the
United States. The first crema-
ton took place 81 years ago, On
December 6, 1877, the remains OF
Baron de Palm were reduced TO
ashes in the crematory built by
DR.. +. J. LeMoyne on GaIlows
Hill. south of that town. In all,
az bodies have been cremated
there, the last having been that OF
NJ. Compton, a resident OF East
Washington, who died in 1901
The LeMoyne heirs withdrew the
loral crematory from public use in
1881 and since that time only four
bodies have heen burned there, the
LeMoyne heirs believing that the
purpose for which their father
erected it, that of turning the at
tention of the world toward crema,
ton instead of inhumation, had
been we'll served and that newer
and more modern crematories had
been erected. Today there are 80
crematories in the United States,
one in San Francisco having an
average of over three inclnerations
a day.

Little Want Ads. Always Pay.

The tremendous buying and sell
ling possibilities of a small classified
advertisement in a great newspaper
are seldom appreciated. The
Philadelphia Press" goes into thou
sands of homes and is read by a
multitude of people, some of whom
have what you want or want what
YOU have. The advertisement
brings buyer and seller together.
For instance, a man i'll the South
wanted a certain rare book. He
wrote to the leading booksellers in
New York, Philadelphia and Chi
cago without success. He then
tried a small advertisement in The
Philadelphia Press and secured
the book within forty-eight hours,
You can satisfy your wants as
quickly by putting an advertise
ment in the "The Philadelphia
Press" If you have dogs or birds
to sell, a small want ad placed in
"The Press" will accomplish the
desired result.

Wilkes Barre is about to abandon
its old Court House in the Public
Square and some Of the citizens are
proposing that the city acquire the
building and use it for city hall.
The site of the old Court house re-
verts to the city when the county
vacates it. 1t is argued that the
present city hall, while not central
enough for city purposes, is yet in
a good business location and can
be disposed of at a good price, and
that the money could be used to
remodel the old Court house and
transform it into fine building for
the city officials.

ANTIASIATIC LEAGUE
FORMED AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, August s.-Promi-
nent men here have organized the
National Anti Asiatic immigration
League. In doing so they scathingly
arraign the monopolistic captains of in
dustry for importing cheap Oriental
labor into the United States and sound
an ominous keynote of warning against
the "yellow peril. +"
Ex-Representative S. S. Yoder was
chosen president of the league. The
ether officers are Representative Frank
Clark of Florida, Cotter t. Bride, an
intimate, personal friend of William
Jcrrings Bryan; John III. Brinkman OF
the central labor union and DR.. Charles
H. Emmons, vice presidents; Attorney
A. W. Thomas, secretary, and Attorney
Richard P. Evans, treasurer.
Ali are heartily in favor of making
determined effort to rid the States
of coolie labor and exert every legiti-
mate effort to procure the passage of
exclusion legislation.
The organizers plan to form branch
leagues in every State of the Union
and conduct an active and relentless
campaign throughout the United
States. 49,

production in spite of tight money,
law and morality.
| The preliminary report of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue shows
| that the total receipts from ali sources
| during the fiscal year We're 1881 $685.
| $50, as compared with 1868, 664 ,022 one
year ago, a decrease of 81 ,998,072.
The consumption of WHISTLES of
various kinds decreased $16,17S,094
Tobacco had fall of 81 ,948,315 There
were small decreases in other lines
The government took in from beer
tax, however, SIS, 747 $50, as against
$5S, 546.110 one year ago, an increase
of 1901 $50.
The tax on beer is 81 per barrel,
holding 81 IL gallons.
In the past year, therefore, Ameri-
can people, although cutting down their
whisky supply and their cigars, drank
201, $50 barrels more of beer than they
did in the year before, which was sup
posed to be one of great prosperity.
The heaviest decrease in the con-
sumption of cigars was in those weigh
ing more than three pounds per thou

source were $20,714,276, as compared
with 500, 470,434 in the previous year,
showing decrease of 81, 756, 15S. Chew
ing tobacco also showed decrease, but
cigarettes held their own, showing a
small increase.
The .o1eomargarine business thrived
in spite of severe laws and hard times,
the total receipts from that industry
being 1854, 304, as against 1887 ,641 in
the previous year, a pretty fair in
crease.

say anything they indicate that there

A PEARL WEDDING
 AT HAIGLER HOME
In Celebration of the 3oth Anniversary
 of Marriage of Mir. and Mrs. Haigler.

The pearl wedding at the J. F. Haig- Ter home last Saturday evening was a decidedly pleasant affair and the fol- lowing somewhat delayed account of the function has-beeH- kindly contrib Uted by one who was in attendance:
 The pearl wedding of MT. and Mrs. J. F Haigler, in celebration of the goth anniversary of their wedding, took place at their comfortable coun- try home last Saturday evening and was attended by nearly a hundred friends and relatives of the contract ing parties who were present to witness the ceremony of the occasion and par ticipate in the pleasures of the even ing.
 The ceremony was performed by Rev. $. NJ. Cheek, pastor of the NJ F.. Church, South, and lacked somewhat the impressiveness of the usual mar riage ceremony. It was in fact, a clev- CT burlesque of the original though the entire ceremony was carried out in a detailed manner. The bridal cOu- pie entered the spacious parlor to the air of wedding march, played by Mrs. l.. l. PaffOrd, following the pas tor and attended by MT and Mrs Carl Gustafson and F. H. Simmons and Mrs. Clara Beck. The VOWS of thirty years ago were renewed and a few ad- ditional ones taken, following. which the couple received the congratuIa- tions of their many friends, who wish ed them as many more years of happy welded life.
 The ceremony being over delicious
