Best Revenue Producer.

He characterized the Payne tariff law
as the best revenue producer the country
ever had and declared that the imposi-
ton of an additional tariff or increase OF
all existing tariff does not automatically
add to the price of imported products.
He favored the appropriation for the
tariff board for the collection of informa-
ton. a purely executive FUNCTION. but

rates Congress. he conceded. was en-

The poor old democratic donkey was
pictured bv Mr.. Bouten as walking the
slack rope Of discomfort, trying to hop
one ear toward the producer with
promise of increased prices and the other
ear to the consumer with assurances Of
lower prices"
Mr.. Boutell compared the difference be-
tween what given articles cost the Amer
lean manufacturer to produce and what
they cost the ultimate consumer In order
to show the high cost was not due to the
tariff.

an who claimed and had shipped to Wash
ington the body of Sidney Lascelles,
known to many in this country as Lord
Beresford and Lord Douglas-Mrs. Sum-
merfeld, or Watson. she was known
here-left for Washington with the body.
but she never reached there. There is no
clue to her whereabouts now.
DR.. CREIGHTON, to whom the body was
consigned. disclaimed all responsibility
for it. He ordered it turned over to a
Washington undertaken. who had it
cremated.
Mrs. Summerf1eld carried letters from
the first wife OF Lascelles, authorizing
her to get the body and ship 1t to Wash
ington. The letters spoke in endearing
terms Of her dead husband and described
her three years Of married life.
She spoke Of his singular influence over
women. He had the ''vo ce of Parsfal

rael,'' said the writer
The widow is said to live in retirement

$500 Corpse Burned Up.

At IL o'clock yesterday morning the
body of the bogus lord was valued at
$500, probably a much greater value
than most relatives by marriage would
place upon such a body, and undoubtedly
much more than Mrs. Summer1ield or
any other friend of the pretender would
have placed upon him before he passed
away at Asheville eight years ago.
Several minutes after the body had
been exposed to the intense white heat
of the crematory its value faded into
insignificance. 1t was no longer desired
by shoWmen to be exhibited at quarter
a look. Instead of being worth money
it required money to have 1t taken away
That the body was expressed through
from Asheville by the payment of two
single fares makes 1t certain that friends
did not come here from Ashevilie on the
train with it. Had they accompanied the

would have been required of them.
In order to have the remains cremated
it was necessary to have the body
brought as far as this city. the crematory
here being the only one south of Balti-
more.
The time consumed in cremating a body
is about three hours. \ much longer lime
is required for the cooling of the retort,

Undertaken Without Instructions.

II really don't know" was the response
Of the veteran undertaken when asked
as to what disposition he is to make of
the ashes.
He said he could not tell If the ashes
are to be buried in a grave in a local
cemetery, kept in a home scattered to
the four winds. He did know, however,
that the body had been cremated. He de-
clared that the casket had not been
opened before it was put through the
open door of the retort.
There was the regular death certifcat e
and transportation permit accompanying
the remains. Some individual had paid
two fares to have the body shipped here
by express. The coroner had given his
approval There the undertakers respen-
sibility ended.
Some persons who had been disappOint-
ed at not being able to view the con-
tents of the mysterious coffin made the
suggestion that there may not have been
body in it after all. Mr. Lee was fully
satisfied that there was a body in it,
however.
After the casket had been burned away
there was the form of body seen
through the small isinglass window OPEN
ing into the door of the crematory.
