Carroll Institute.

This association, in its dual character of
educational and literary, has come to the
front in a very marked manner during the
fourishing Catholic societies of its purrort in
the country. Its educational labors consist,
firstly, in the conducting of free hight school,
which has now on its rolls the names of more
than sixty boys and young men. This benefit
is extended to those of our youth who are un-
able for want Of time to attend the day schools,
and, as has been already proven, works most
advantageously to all concerned. The second
feature, though perhaps not strictly educa-
tional, may, it is presumed, with much pro-
priety, be classed as such. It is the forward
ing to the soldiers at our frontier posts such
of the healthy current literature as may be
collected from the institute files, and from any
donations that our good citizens may feel dis
posed to give for the purpose. The project is
certainly worthy one, and, judging from the
impetus It has at present gained, will prove
wholly successful.
In a strictly literary point of view, the repu-
tation of the society is firmly established, as is
attested by the number of gentlemen who at
tend the regular Thursday evening meetings,
which are held at its pleasant rooms, on g
street. The gathering of last evening was un-
usually large, and the literary efforts highly
interesting. Mr.. J. H. Bushnell opened with
E'Regulus to the Carthageniaus," followed by
+. W. Collins with reading Of Bryant's poem,
'IhaDatopsis." Mr.. Z. j. Donahue then read
few gems from 'Macbeth;" after which the
exercises were concluded with the "QuarreI
Scene between Cassius and Brutus," recited
by Messrs. Frank Pellay and John 7. Fallon.

Rev. DR.. Levin, from the committee on the

$50 each, thus making sum of 81, 600. g.
Resolutions were adopted wishing DR.. Will
liams, late of Christ church, Georgetown, and
DR.. Watkins, late of Epiphany, success in
their new fields of labor.
DR.. Steele made report on the expediencY

what sums of money they could supply to de-
fray the expenses of the assistant to the dean.
The convocation adjourned TO meet next

ROUGH AND TUMBLE.
IN Officers Fight with Two Rough

Officer Mitchell, of the Fourth precinct, had
hard battle with two roughs yesterday after
noon. Two drunken roughs, just released
from the work. house, one a notorious negro
thief named Frank Foreman, and the other
an Irishman named Richard Murray, were
making themselves particularly obnoxious on
X street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
The negro made grossly indecent exposure
of his person, and Officer Mitchell attempted
to arrest him. The negro, who is powerful
man, resisted strongly, and tried to get
knife from his pocket. The officer knocked
him down with his club. Murray then made
a fierce attack upon the officer, and the latter
knocked him down once and broke his baton.
Murray renewed the attack, and the officer
struck him over the head with the butt of his
revolver. In doing this the weapon was dis
charged, and as Murray fell some of the spec
tators thought that he was shot, and the story
spread very rapidly. Murray was forced into
cart and secured by tying. In this way he
was carried to the station-house without
giving much more trouble. Foreman took
advantage of Murray's attack on the officer to
escape, although there were a number of
citizens standing by. The officer received
several severe blows and kicks, but no serious
injuries. Murray's scalp was cut by the blow
from the pistol,

CREMATION.
A Brooklyn German Who Was Opposed to
Interment

lnterment
Max Henry Stein, of South Second street,
E. D., died October 10, and left considerable
real and personal estate for his widow, Elise,
and three children, Otto, Adele and Alma.
His principal real estate is described in his
will, which was executed January z, 1874,
as consisting of house and lot, located at 142
Douglass street, Omaha, Nebraska, and three
fve-story basement houses and lots in Fourth
street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, z.
d. This property. together with all his other
real and personal estate, he tleft to his wife
during her lifetime, and after her decease to the
children already named, "with the exclusion
of any relatives or friends whatever" But
that which causes his will to attract more
than ordinary interest is the following
curiously- -worded clause:
''Should at the time of my decease, within
easy distance from the place where decease
will happen, society be in existence for the
sensible and sanitary purpose of
BURNING DEAD HUMAN BODIES,
and having suitable apparatus for that pur-
pose, 1t is my special wish that my body may
be disposed of by the said improved method of
operation. Otherwise, In consideration that
costly or expensive funerals are humbug,
direct that In case Of my decease the funeral
expense shall not exceed the sum of eighty
dollars all told, and that no more than four
persons shall follow the body as mourners."
The witnesses to the will are George F.
Kreuscher and John Neumer, of No. IS Goerck
street, New York, and the document names
the widow as executrix. II was admitted to
probate on the 14th instant by Surrogate
Veeder. So
Mr.. Stein was native of Germany, and
lived at No. 105 South Second street. He died
at the age of forty-six years, after thirty years
residence in the country, and was quietly
buried In Greenwood. Union.

Improvement" is the watchword of the
hour; its development and redevelopment is
the ambition of every true American. Porous
plasters were invented in 1916. For thirty
years their composition remained unimproved,
until Benson's Capcine Porous Pissters were
invented. They differ from all other in their
greater medical activity. They oil cure dis
ease il a Jeac hours that other porous plasters,
liniments or compounds require days and
weeks OF continuous wear and use to simply
relieve. They are superior to electricity and
more powerful. It Is not q nostrum. They
