VIENNA HAS CREMATORY.

VIENNA, Dec. 21,-(A. P.)--On the
spot where, tradition says, stood Suli-
mans tent when his Turkish leg.on
besieged Vienna in 1858, the first
crematory in the territory of the old
empire is shortly to be opened.
With the establishments of the re-
public the prohibition against crensa-
ton disappeared, and the city now has
erected an exceedingly graceful little
building to be devoted to this method
OF disposing Of the dead. 1t stands in
park surrounded by an ancient,
lowered and battlemented wall, on Il
hill to the southeast of the Vienna.
The wall once surrounded the grounds
of hunting castle built by the then
emperor as a memorial to the defeat of
the Turks.
