Senator Harris His position is such that believe

THE Pail Mall Gazette OF May 10 says: 'If Mr.
Joseph Saunders, writer of plays, on whom an
inquest was held yesterday, could have conceived
many situations as dramatic as his own death, he
would probably have made mark in his profess
sion. He was, it seems found dead In the miser
able room in Stepney which he had occupied for
the last five years. With part of his body lying
under the bedstead. in his left hand he held his
pipe his pen being close to his right hand The
room contained an old table and bedstead: no
mattress, no bedclothing was to be seen. There
was no food-seven pence-half penny was all the
money in his possession. An unfinished drama
on Drink was open on the table. He had died
OF starvation"

AT a recent meeting of the Ross County (Ohiol
Medical Society all the physicians present were
puzzled to the verge of superfection by the mys
terious afilictiOn of woman who had conSd-
erately offered herself for examination. One of
the doctors who had previously attended her ex-
planned that upon several occasions, he had re
moved from a wound in her hand numerous
pieces of bone, without apparently diminishing
the supply. A similar operation was then per-
formed in the presence of the Society. In the gen
eral amazement which followed, one of the mem
bers retained sufficient sense to suggest micro
scopical examination of the bones which had
been removed under his eyes. This simple test
proved that they were chicken-bones, where
upon the womun, seeing that the game was up,
confessed that she had placed them where they
were found. She refused, however, to say what
motive had influenced her to undergo the conse
quent pain and inconvenience.
