work of a trained newspaper hand,
skilled in the art of creating scandal
out of lies, when it is thought neces-
sary to blacken the character of one
whom the newspaper cannot control.
1t is also plain to be seen that every
word was passed upon by lawyer
before it was signed by that poor, low
creature, White, who does not hest
tate to commit forgery for few dol
lars, and to whom perjury is no crime,
who is a part of the lowest fringe of
depravity, and who, to secure money
to- satisfy his instinct of debauchery,
sold what little was left of his man.

BURNING THE DEAD.
A Custom That Can Be Traced Back
to the Earliest Ages.

to the Earliest Ages.
Cremation has been practiced by
most of the nations Of the earth from
the earliest ages, and, although In pa
gan countries 1t may have taken the
form of fire worshiping. there can be
no doubt that its adoption by the an
clients was for the most part prompt
ed by other than religions reasons.
Greeks ascribe its introduction to Her
cules, who, having sworn to transmit
the body of Argus to his father,
thought this the most convenient way
Of fulfilling his promise. According to
Homer, the burning Of the dead was q
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war. but the
Scythians, who inhabited the vast re-
gion known under the name Of Tar
tary. Slender accounts handed down
concerning the manners of some Of the
ancient natives Of Hindustan also al
lude to the custom. The idea Of puri-
fication by fire was in all ages univer-
sal, and with good reason. Some be-
lieved that the body was unclean after
the departure Of the soul, and 1t was
therefore deemed necessary that II
should be purified by fire. Ovid ex-
pressed the general opinion Of his time
when he said that the soul was not
completely separated from the body
until the latter was consumed on the
pyre. The Athenians invariably after
a battle burned the slain.

The Conductors Baton.

According to the investigations Of Q
Frenchman, the credit OF inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully. the
composer. who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were in the
habit of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clarpinG their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly In mo-
ton and SO used stick to strike the
hoor aud beat time. He used 4 pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that 1t
struck his foot and made deep
wound. He paid no attention to tho
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton. and 1t was
ultimately brought TO Its present form.

Especial to The Hsrala)

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.--Nat Goodwin
former actor and erstwhile partner in
the mining firm of b. F. Scheftels &.
Co, now defunct, has been sued by
Edna Goodrich Goodwin for divorce.
The facts became known only a few
days ago, when Goodwin entertained a
number of select friends at dinner to
celebrate what he termed fourth SER
vice"
The circumstances leading up to the
suit occurred in Toronto, Canada, last
Thanksgiving. 1t appears that Good
win. anxious to escape the annoyances
resulting from the arrest of Graham
Rice. the mining promoter had gone to
Toronto and proposed returning in
time for THANKSGIVING dinner At the
last moment he wired his wife that he
would be unable to come back.
Determined that her husband should
dine with her on Thanksgiving, Edna
Goodrich prepared a basket of turkey,
jellies, cakes and other delicacies, and,
without informing Nat of her intention
took the first train for Toronto.
Reaching that city, she hurried to her
husbands hotel and was shown to his
apartment. Her knock at the door at
first did not meet with response, but
few moments later Goodwin ap-
peared on the threshold What Edna
saw is carefully told In a secret divorce
suit filed by-her. Her attorney, H. l..
Roth, declares that the allegations are
sensational in the extreme but will not
divulge the name of the correspondent
Goodwin's attorney, b. H. Grnssman,
is equally reticent. but from a reliable
source it is learned that the woman is
prominent in the theatrical profession
of this city.

GIRL SERIOUSLY BURNED
WHEN CLOTHES CATCH FIRE

Hazel Mooney, IS years old, living at
the Hawthorne apartments at Third
and Hill streets, was probably fatally
burned shortly before midnight last
night when, while passing an open gas
stove, her nightgoWn became ignited
and burned almost off of her She
suffered burns on the stomach, breast,
face, arms and back
Miss Mooney was preparing to retire
and had lighted the gas stove to warm
the room. The stove, an open contriv-
ance, was on the floor and the flames
were unprotected. In passing the stove
her nightgoWn sWished over the fame
and Immediately she was a pillar of
fire. Before she could smother out the
flames the garment was burned from
her body.
The unfortunate young woman was
taken to the receiving hospital, where
the police surgeons swathed her in
oiled dressings and pronounced her
condition critical.
