Show Rivalry Among Cemeteries. A few years ago, by n peculiar combination com-bination of circumstances, I becamo mnnager at a funeral of which tho final ceremony took place at Mt. Auburn Au-burn cemetery, Cambridge, says a writer In tho Boston Hcrsld. I rodo out to the cemetery ahead of the mourners with tho Kev E. A. Horton. ; On arriving at tho chapel, Mr. Hor-' ton retired to tho minister's room and I opened conversation with tho Bex-ton, Bex-ton, and, nraong other questions, asked: "How iloes this cemetery compare, as to size, with tho Forest Hills cemetery?" Ho replied: "I'll tell you: Forest Hills has, nominally 50,000 Intermenta in It, and up to tho close ot business last night wo bad 12,17, but (bringing his right fist down violently on tho palm of his left hand) wo'ro gaining on them fast." |
