A ChrUtlan Mlnliter nml un Agnostic emdatcil ami tlio.Itedy waa Cremated. Dees Any Special Significance Attach te These FecUT The late Courtlandt Palmer was an ag ag nestle, a political liberal and an amateur In science, a rich man socialist, nnd the founder of the noted Kluctceuth Century t uuu. iiuucn, it. uipcrseu is me ruueu mero noted orator and agnostic, whose bo be llef is se nearly a complete negation of all belief that he is pleased te be iilcltnnmed "Pagan Deb." llev. llicliard Hebcr New. ten Fs a noted clergyman of the Kpiscepal church, wliose tendency of recent years has been toward latitudinarianlsm in be ItCf aud cxtrcme liberalism in association. And, finally, cremation is the scientific) disposal of the dead by incineration, a method which has se gained favor of late that almost every city new has its crema tory. Thcse four statements serve te In troduce the relation of en affair which vividly illustrates certain tendencies of thought in the United States, especially in New Yerk. The rich and seml-Eeclallsl agnostic bade his friends farewell wit h all the calmness of ESecratcs, took an amesthctic and died; his body was burned nt Fresh Pend, Leng Island; Itcv. Hebcr Kowton officiated rollg rellg rollg leuslyforthofam ily, and Uebcrt G. Ingersoll, by re quest of the de ceased, delivered the farewell ora era ora tlen consigning the departed te the eternal forces of nature, werlcar, thev might, and exhorting the mourners te the COUnTLANDT I'ALMEII. effect that If thcre was small reason te hope, there was cer tainly no reason te despair. Mr. Palmer's mede of death was net a suicide, unless It may be called be when n man prepares for a surgical operation with but euc chance in a hundred that he may survive It; yet he went te his death with a calmness and firmness no Greek or Ileman stoic ever ex celled, and both the oration of the great agnostic and the sermon of the minister were In harmony with the life and death of their subject and net out of harmony with each ether. The wliole affair is well worthy of study. Courtlandt Palmer was bera in New Yerk In 1843, of an old Dutch family, as his first name indicates, and was brought up in the Dutch Reformed faith, but eaily becatne a frce thinker. He was educated at Williams cel lege and graduated at Columbia Law school. Inheriting a for tune, he gave himself te travel and study, and seen btcame an advanced radical en most subjects. Though wealthy, he was much mero a socialist than is the avcrage workingman, and devoted his entire time te literary pursuits, chiefly in aid of his radical vievva. He adopted the motto of Cicere, "As I am a man, everything per taining te man concerns me." He there fore advocated the establishment of closer relations between the different section') of society; was an ardent supporter of schools for technical training; encouraged associations of laboring men; and te fur ther promote discussion feunded, in 18S0, the Nineteenth Century club. A million aire he labored in the Interest of the peer; a man of distinguished connections and nrlstocratlcasseclation"?, he boldly opposed the execution of the Chicago Anarchists; a man of singularly pure lite and austere morals, he opposed the methods of An An teony Comstock; and, denying the truth of all evangelical creeds, he went te his death, with a clear mind, as jieaccfully as a wearied child sinks te sleep. Aud, strangest of all perhaps, though in such a career he antagonized many in their most cherished beliefs, he rarely Incited hostil ity aud still mero rarely inade a personal enemy. After withdrawing from the Dutch Ho He formed church Mr. Palmer adopted the philosophy of Cemtc, and was therefore popularly called apesltlvlst. IIe assisted In founding the "Society of Humanity,'' the Manhattan Liberal club and the Kicu HcllKieus association, was iitesldcnt of the New Yerk Cre mation society and the American bee ular union, aided in setting up the liberal journal called "Man," and finally founded the somew.iat aristocratic Nine teenth Century club, "with vlew te making mental liberty fashion fashien fashion nble." Aud he succeeded. M e n imd women of all v shades of belief, from President" McCe'h te Beb In it. liunuu nkwiex. gersell, and" from Julia Werd Howe te Governer Geerge Headly, took part In the discussions; and the "chuich cle ment," as it was called, was se well satis fied that many of its representatives insist that the frce platform of the club must be maintained as a sort of memorial of the deceased. Of course, however thcre hav'e been jars among the members of the club, and ene of them, following clese upon Mr. Palmer's expressed sympathy with the Chicago Anarchists, camu near disrupting the club. Rev. Illchard Heber Newton was born in Philadelphia Oct Ul, 1810, was gradu ated from the University of Pennsylvania, and ordained a deacon in St. Paul's church, Philadelphia, before he was 20 jears old. Iu 1SGU he was ordained priest, und after short terms of service elsovvhcre be came rector of All Seuls' Protestant Kpis Kpis eopal church In New Yerk city. He has been a voluminous writer, and his wirks In order of time, from IbTi te 180, plainly show a steady chauge hi his theology He followed the usual course. First maintain ing that there are "degrees of inspira tion," neTt, that "the Bible contains the Werd of Ged and much mero," then that the Werd of Ged is found in many ether books besides the Bible, and finally that there is no such thing as a perfectly pure revelation, but the Werd of Ged comes te us like every ether geed gift, rniwrt with dress or chaff, which it is our task te painfully eliminate. Iu 1882-83 he preach ed a series of sermons, iu which he main tained that many ether books wcre as truly inspired as the Bible, including in that list many be called Oriental scrip tures. This brought en him ecclesiastical censure and a church trial, and slnce that date his position, te the secular eve, id net far from that of the German Ration alists. This characterization might be disputed by the reverend gentlemau aud his friends, and it is possible the secular eye is net trained sufficiently for the C roper distinctions; sufilce it te say that i his final summary, or "Study of Gee e3ls,"Mr Newton maintains. That none of the Pentateuch was com pleted till GOO years after Met.es' death, the law was net given by inspiration, but was a growth, and the history back of F.zra is largely fabulous; the elder patri archs were ' fabulous demigods of Semitic legend." Niinred was an allegory, Adam a simile, Abraham a composite, the lives of several sheiks condensed into one, the Heed a pruse poem, the tower of llabel fimply a Hebrew rendition of the Babylo nian tower of Bel which they had seen in exile, und the whole Boek of Genesis n loeso compilation of old traditions and manuscripts m unskillfully put together that Shem outlives Abraham, though the latter died very aged, and two contradic tory accounts are given of the creation. Such, as near, we repeat, as the secular vnilnd can comprehend it, is the "faith" of the"Feverend gcntlumtm who very appro priately joined "Pagan Beb" in such "re ligious" ceremonies" as wcre fitting at the incineration of an ogrestic When the body of t'etirtlandt Palmer VT ""if atT Jzkt pasw p tery aETfesITPend, Leng Island, the wrl tcr made inquiry nnd was much aston ished te learn the cxteat te which faith in and practice of incineration has ox ex tended. Net only is there a cremation society In cvpry great city In Christen dom, but thcre are hundreds of cremato ries, large and small, and many thousand bodies have been cremated. Strangest of nil, perhaps, though the Cat helle church does net favor It, the practice baa gained most rapidly In Jtaly. One fur fur uace in. Milan has consumed seme l.COO rncsn tend cnutATenv bodies, and In Reme, almost within the shadow of the Vatican, a large crematory Is Iu almost dally use. In the United States the progress of the movement has astonished its warm est advocates. When Dr. Ixj Meyne built the first crematory at Washington, Pa., there was much tiilk of appealing te the law te step him, and the first incinera tion of n cerpse was published in all the papers as a sensational item; new there nie incinerations almost dally, and cre mation societies are se numerous that the public no longer consider them. The Fresh Pend, Leng Island, crematory, opened Dec. 4, lbStf, hns already con sumed 200 bodies, hal f of these being these of Germans, as that peeple generally favcr the process. Of Hen. Rebert G. Ingersoll's remarks ever the cellln of Courtlandt Palmer it can only be said that they were in the very highest style of pagan oratory. II had net the Inspiration which moved Pericles in the wonderful address ever the Athenians who fell in battle, yet there is a remarkable similarity bctweeu tfce two addresses, and Ingersoll's is the uncr. no naa te confess that he knew as llttle of the present state of what was Courtlandt Palm er as Cicere knew of theso he mourned, and yet the oration Is mero touching than that of Cico Cice ro. Julius Cwsar confessed In the it. a. iNotneeLL. Reman scnate that he considered death the end of all activities, and Ingersoll only s. ys that no ene can knew the centrary: yet he bays it in a mournfully sweet English with which the ponderous and sonorous Latin of Cejsar cannot be com pared. Secrates, like Courtlandt Palmer, said he could dle without fear, because it was silly te fear that of which we could have no knowledge, nnd Ingersoll vlr tually says the same; but Plate and Xcnophen could reason themselves into the faith that Secrates still lived, and our modern pagan fails even of that. His oration Is indeed mournfully sweet, but it is at the best a negation; he can only tell us that we need net despair, he cannot bid us te hepe. J. II. .BuAm.n. MR.

The first stage Is up an ordinary stalr stalr case entirely enclosed In ene of the pillars, fur 300 steps te n resting place villi open windows, where there Is room for COO jwjr jwjr pens. Then the real tell of the ascent begins. A spiral stairway rises 300 steps further, the stairway turning se rapidly around a small pillar that light headed peeple nre seriously affected; but the guard rail Is firm and well anchored, and there Is no danger. And there most peo ple step, as the remainder of the ascent nt present Is by n bare ladder for forty eight feet, anil the vlew from the lower platform Is Cne enough for most people. But of ceurse the journalists could net afford te step there; and 60 the whole gang, from the veuerable Hebrard and Sarcey te the youngest nnd most rccklesd reporter, climbed te the werkingmen'rf platform, where they wcre delighted with the magnificent vlew. It is noted as an interesting fact that, despite the heated controversies of these times, the novelty brought together n larger number of journalists, representing organs of nearly all opinions, than any event for many months. A bunded and twenty persons joined in the banquet, and besides M. Eiffel and a few engineers, all were journalists. The banquet was served en the 378 feet level, below the highest point they reached; speeches wcre made, of course, and the whele was a re.mark ably lively mld-alr occasion.

The shelves, counters, and even the tloer of the shop are check full of pretty nearly all the wis dem of the ancients and wit of the mod erns, done up In elegant but handily pocketable paper bound packages, which sell at from ten te twenty cents each. The shop, la fact, Is a sort of headquarters for the cheap libraries new se numerous, and which are said te be doing great dauiage te the mero pretentious branches of the book trade. Hore, for $5, a careful pcrseu can pur chase a library mero extensive and better than was ever owned by many n man whom the world calls great and wise. History, biography, jxx'try, philosophy, science, llteraturu and romance are min gled In bewildering confusion and pro fusion. A glance at the titles of the famous works piled en shelf and counter fills ene with despair of ever being able te read them all, se numerous ere they; and yet they are se cheap that a person with thp reading habit feels ashauicd net te buy an armful aud rush off te his den te devour them at ence.

"One man In particular used te ceme in regu larly every ether or third day and carry off each time from six te eight volumes. He didn't appear particular about what he read, but took them just as they came. He kept It up week nt ter week, tee. He had a place iu the Interior department, but was discharged net long age," The propleter didn't intimate that there was any connection between the man's reading habits and the less of his position, but it struck the reporter that there might be. A HOOK A DAY. "There are plenty of peeple who aver- age a book a day, month In and month out," the proprietor continued. "These peeple are mostly novel readers, of ceurse.

"De you netice much difference In the class of stories preferred by men and wo men?" the reporter asked. "Ne, I can t say that 1 de. The women don't seem te be especially fend of leve stories.

"Haven't the cheap libraries hurt the sensational story papers u great deal?" the repeiter inquired. "Well, net as much as I thought they wcre going te at first." the gentleman Bald. "I expected the story papers would be entirely driven out of the field by the cheap libraries, but I hardly think their sales have fallen as much as 25 pur cent.

"Hew many of the cheap libraries are there new iu existcnceV" the reporter asked. "Oh, probably fifty all told," the dealer answered, "and new ones are starting up every week.

Many times I have ob served ene of thcse creatures mount up n few feet aliove the ground, calling, cult lug, until sometimes half ft dozen or mero would cougrcgate beneath him, when he would drop down In thelr midst and touch the head of each us If consult lug alieut some grnve matter; thru the llttle fleck would dlsperse and the wuhI clun, or orator, or whatever he was, would go te another place aud call another crowd, nnd after the harangue he would again ulighl nml communtcate with each individual. As fur as I could see there was no leve making connected with this affair. ICnlomeloglsts who have made the brains of lusicts a study tell us that the orthepteru, especially the grasshopper have a geed development of brain, but net equal te the ants, or te the sudul bees and wasps. Anether class of grassheppcis remain en the ground te play. Thcse nre the violinists among the musicians; they use their hiud legs for bows, which they draw across strings situated In the whiff covers. The Recky nieuntulu locust (Coleptcniis spretus) belongs te this class. And here la an Instance where an insect ceases te be Insignificant and becomes a great and mighty lower iu the luiul, compelling the government te supply men and means te try und thwart the vast armies that sweep ever sections of the west, devouring all vegetation before them.

Summer la the Bcasen of growth und physical prosperity for everything, un Imato or Inanimate, except man in the four season climates, aud even thcre aome exception)! prove what the rule might be. The fanner sweats freelv while hoeing In his cornfield, but, with Ills straw hat, Milt of light Jeans and bare feet he fecit the same grateful exhilaration as the veg ctatlng sheets which spring up greenly about hlm. The pores of his sltlii ure open for every passing brcee, and the wet drops which soak Inte ids light clothing are net an expcuie account upon his physical bank. A similar regulation of clothing prevails in het climates. The Hindoe who works all duy in the rlce fields Is net subject te sunstrokes. Australians, Cubans anil Mexicans llveiaslly during six months of het weather, because they knew hew te adapt themselves te cllmatte conditions as fatal as pestilences In the cities of this part of the glebo during seme weeks of the summer The UrtOKS, iu the days when Athtus was great, when Pericles or A'ciblades ruled aud Secrates. Plate. Zcne or Pythagoras wcre living thinkers, did net suffer from heat In their robes of snowy linen. And the Ilemans of the heroic age, w hen Virgil saDg, Cicere talked aud C'ttsar led armies te victory, thought summer a delightful season of happiness and comfort. The same possibilities exist for men. of today. If they will only clethe themsclvc't sensibly and diet reasonably. New l'erk Press. VVuklnc from SUen. The author of "On Jllue Water" gives seme curious observations npen the man ner in which we rocevcr possession e. our senses whenever we are awakened. He thinks that it is the rjnse w hich If most violently assailed that Is first te wake up. He says: "1 knew u.q p)ice where a man has f,e many opportunities for observing the phenomena attending the awakening from sleep as en bearl shjp, where half the jjcople are awakened from se" ml sleep at least three times a day. "Often the bright light of my cabin lamp, jnst lighted, has been visible te me eome seconds bofero I could hear or un derstand that I was being called te get up. I have often called a man, and re celved an answer which led me te bellove that he was wide awake, though he was unconscious of having auswered at all.
