Tho Jewish View Of Cremation,

Tho Jewish View Of Cremation,
The satholic Church, as Is now tol-
cradle we'll known, condemns crema-
ton, partly on practical grounds, and
partly ON certain broad. general prin.
ciples: and Of these latter not the
least important Is the fact that In its
origin cremation was associated in
the minds Of the majority-and still
is, by many Of its chief supporters
with the denial OF belief In future
life. 1t is Interesting to note that
high Jewish authorities reprobate the
practice on precisely similar grounds.
In Bavaria the propaganda Of orema-
ton by extreme Socialists and others
has lately become so insistent that
even Catholics were in danger Of be-
ing carried away with the movement:
and the Rararlan episoopate deemed
Il advisable to issue an explicit state
ment Of the Catholic attitude On the
question. Tho opposition Of tho Ba-
varian Bishops to the practice has
been strongly seconded by the Chief
Rabbi. Or. NJ. Lerner, who wrote as
tollws:
"Not less reprehensible than the
ancient heather practice Of burning
the body, that sign Of taolatrous er.
ror. is the modern proctioe Of tnciu,
Grafton, which constitutes public
demonstration on the part Of atheism
and snontsm against rebellion -
Cremation, therefore, which under
mines the faith tn the resurrection
and immortality, is no Indication OF
any pregress upon which modern eul,
tare may pride itself, but a retrosres,
elem into barbarian inpiety, and a
return to pagan brutality"
And the reasons given by the Chief
Rabbi tor Jewteh opposition to the
practice are practically on all tours

REVIEWS PLEA FOR ADMIRAL.

WASHINGTON. Secretary Meyer will renew his recommendation to congress for the creation of the navy ranks of admiral and vice. admiral He will ask that the bill providing for increased flag rank he reported as n measure separate from the navy ap- propriation bill.
 The fact that the grades of admir- al and vice-admirai do not exist in our navy is inconsistent with the size of our fleet. and with the dignity of this country" says Mir Meyer in his report to be submitted to congress when it is realized that nineteen of the navies of the world include lt least vice-admirals. nine of them ad- mirals and Japan. Germany and Eng land admirals of the fleet in addition it is felt that this matter should be corrected in our service by appropri- ate lesislation.'

EAGLES HAVE
 OWN OFFICER
CITY AGREES TO GIVE HIM POW.
 ER TO PRESERVE ORDER.

E. J. Sitter will be a special police officer with full power to act in that capacity within the walls of the Eagle building according to a resolution passed last night by the council.
 The appointing of such an officer without compensation was caused by the request of the Eagle lodge which evidently believed that such an officer would be useful during occasions when great events were being con- ducted in the big hall. MT. Sitter will be sworn in immediately.
 A resolution was also carried last night to form a special fund in which will be placed the monies received from the Aksala carnival and similar sources for charitable purpose.
 The delinquent tax bill recommend ed by Judge Reed. city attorney, was approved of by the council and it's passage will be recommended to tho legislature by the city. In the mat ter of delinquent taxes it was found that those delinquent at present were partly composed of small individual taxes in sums ranging from sl up- ward. other taxes delinquent are of larger amounts, however.
 A. Polet, treasurer of the Aksala committee. handed in a report which showed that the net profits were slightly less than those published in the Nugget some time ago. The amount which goes from the carnival to the city's special charity fund is slightly less than SI.l00. Part of this money can be probably used already as application had already been mado for loan by the two soldiers who have been dishonorably discharged because of an offence of which they were convicted some time ago. The men were dishonorably discharged by order from headquarters outside when they had neither pay. blankets or provisions.
 The mayor, before the adjournment of the council. expressed the wish 10 have all the committees. etc. of the Aksala carnival thanked through the press.
