A MODERN MAUSOLEUM.
Tlio civilized world lion como to acknowl
edge that tho burial of ltd dond In tho bosom
of mother earth, particularly In or near com
munltlos of tho living, lion serious objection.
Tho only other method of disposing of tho
dead that has attracted general attention Is
cremation, but it is repugnant to tho toolings
of humanity and has not received much suls
stnntlnl enourngement, A now manner of
burial Is now being agitated in tho east, and
its discussion offers so much of novelty and
interost that tho Coumkh feels justified in
giving up considerable of its spaco to an nrtl
clo on tho subject.
Rev. Charles E. Treat, rector of tho Church
of tho Archangel of Now York, is ouo of tho
principal champions of tho now movement.
Ho is working for tho erection in Now York
of a great mausoleum, or "Campo Santo," for
tho sanitary entombment of tho dond, and
tho illustrations accompanying this nrtlclo
will givo n fairly clear Idea of some of tho
features of tho structure proposed for Now
York. In a recent lecture beforo u learned
Brooklyn body Mr. Treat covered tho subject
of burial thoroughly, and tho CouitiKimeces
wxrlly condenses his paper to bring It within
tho limit of ft nowspnpor nrtlclo. In tho early
Christian centuries, as In tho centuries pro
ceding, nmong men of nil religious beliefs nnd
practices, tho conviction, both instinctive nnd
founded on oxerIouco, prevailed, that tho
dead should not bo brought into proximity
with tho living. Accordingly tho practice
definitely demanded by tho "Twelve Tables"
becamo universal, not to bury within a "city"
or any group of human habitations. The first
step In tho wrong direction teems to havo
been taken nt tho dying request of tho first
Christian emperor, who was Interred nt tho
entrance of tho Church of tho Holy Aiwstlcs,
in Constantinople. The tendency, however,
to follow this example, and to secure similar
interment In holy eat th, was stubbornly ro
slsted; and It was not until tho latter part of
tho sixth century thnt burials were ermlttcd
within towns or cities, and it was not until
the nineteenth century that burials were per
mitted In churches. From this tluio tho cus
tom continued without notable interference,
until tho latter part of tho Inst century, Then,

in that era of tremendous chnngo.tho church

yard of tho Church of tho Holy Innocents
was first condemned In the Interest of the
public health, becnuso much sickness had been
traced to tho foul stenches that rote there
from. Other churchyards in l'aris were also
condemned. Mr. Treat goes on nt length to
show that in London and in Now York tho
evils of earth-burial were present us in Paris,

and even tetanus, aro duo to bacteria which

let fover, cntorlo fovor (typhoid), smnllpox,
dl)therla, nnd mnllgnnnt cholera aro un
doubtedly trnnsmlssiblo through enrth from
the burled body."
Is thoro no alternntivol Mr. Treat answers:
Yes, military entombment. Ho relates how
tho ancients In many cases buried their dead
in tombs, nnd says it only remains for tho
modern world to umko entombment sanitary
to solvo tho problem of tho best burial. Ho

Tho two best known methods aro embalming
and desiccation. Ho maintains that we can

Egyptians, but ho dismisses thnt method ns

with embalming, is tho process of naturo
rather than of art; and Involves no mutlht

for human flesh. Desiccation is so far a tint-

Whei over tho nir that enwrapped thn life

"Catacombs" of tho monastery of the Capu

Upon thp elevated western plains of this con
tinent, tho bodies of lxjnsts and men, by
thousands, have been preserved from decom
jiosltion by desiccation. In Peru tho dead
are found in uncounted numbers, testifying
thnt In their death they did not injure tho
living, becnuse desiccation saved them from
decomposition. All theso Instances furnish
conclusive proof that decoinnnHltlnii t. u.

mosphero Is all that is required to Introduce
the process of Peruvian desslcntlon into the
sepulchres of Chicago or New York.
The men interested in tho now mausoleum
movement havo made oxierimouts to prove
that decomiKMltlou can bo prevented nnd des

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
Tho Presbyterians who hnvo moved Into

for the upbuilding of n new church In that
quarter. At present there Is little but a hole

of Mr. C, K. IitMimls, nil oxceptfonnlly satis
factory muslcnl wns given under tin direction
of Mrs. Welwr. The iiu'inliora of the mother
church down town proved their tnleient by it
largo attendance. Tho program oix-iuhI with
nStrnuss wnltr.iixm thoplnno by Professor
Welxand MIm Hutchlwin, followl by a
trio, "Host Theo on this Mossy Pillow," from
MUses Lnttn, Ixiinls and Mnrsland, Mrs.
Wclicr sang n Jewel song, mid It Is sulllcUnt
to say that sho was In gixxl video. The com

love her so" ur a tenor plire, lllo voice np
pea red to Ixi rather of n baritone (piallty.nnd
sovernl passages seemed to hnvo Ikmjii written
too high for him. It Is probable, however,
thnt this effect was nppnrent rather than real,
for tho singer showed signs of embarrassment.
Ho was a memlx'r of the Andrews oHrn com
jwiny, nnd has sung In the Presbyterian
church choir, but that Is quite different from
lxlng projected into the middle of nnnudlenco
anntn parlor musical, Mr. Heyunrd has n
voice or good quality and is too sensible to de
liberately select it song beyond his coiiihim.
Mrs. V. 8. Hutrmnu gnvo variety to tho pro
gram with u reading. Hho liiiM.rsonnted n
vngalxmd alternately talking Hi his dog nnd
telling his pitiful stery to an auditor. Hho
recited with ease nnd expression, nnd tho
management of her voice wns particularly
notable. Hho slinulntod a baritone voleo nud
produced tour surprisingly rich us well ns
masculine. At tho request of the niidlenco
she Huhseqtioutry read "Love In thoKltchou."
Sho showed her versatility by linXTsonntlng
Ixith mnlu nnd femulo, Ixsldes assuming a
brogue. Miss Florence Ilrown (bettor known
to ninny as "Chlo") made her public debut by
singing "lirlght Stars of Lovo" with a violin
obllgntD by Prof. Wuber, At tho nuUet tho
slngor gnvo evidences of n timidity very

tho end of her number regained her self-pos-session
nnd wing with udmlrable composure.

tho cliarnilng young vwallst were delighted
with the admirable results already nehievMl.
Prof. Weber's violin solo was heartily en

by Dr. K. L. Holyoke. Although sulTerlng
from ii severe cold, the singer wns recalltl
with enthusiastic demonstrations. Dr. Hol
yoke hns that rare thing, thnt gift of tho
gods: u pure tenor voice. It is lyrical In qual
ity rather than rubuta. It Is ono of those
exquisite voices full of soft, tender tones and
iH'iiutlfully sweet modulations; a voleo for
tongs of lovo or songs of sadness, full of sen
timent nnd of expression. Hlngulnrly enough
the doctor has given very little or no atten
tion to music ns u student. Whilo nt Iowa
college his voice was noted In tin Institution
likely to bring iimny goisl voices together,
but since taking up the study and tho practice
of his profession he has done very little sing
ing in public. For u long time he hns Imvii
heard only ocenslonly m smnll gntheiliigs.but
the managers of future musical entertain
ments should not overlook him. Tlio owner
of such a voice oui'S n ilntv in llm i.nl.ll., .,,

Despite some timidity sho sang with sweetness

but few of them have had tlio pleasure of
hearing her flno voleo In music, at lenst in
