DR.. Alexander Mayer proposes a
novel system of burial which, it is
claimed, possesses all the sanitary
advantages of cremation and pre-
serves the body as if it were en-
balmed. The body is to be placed
in an Theoretically sealed Opaque
glass coffin, the air removed, and
some antiseptic gas introduced.

The Lancet says that women of

as few men would care to carry.
This is sheer nonsense. There are
plenty of men who would carry the
clothes, with the women inside of
them.

AN INTERESTING SUIT.
The Demand of Professor DleLean Against
the Detroit News fer Libel.

DETROIT, Mich, March 26.-The trial of an
important libel suit began in the Superior
Court OF this city to-day, and is likely to last
two weeks or more. Professor DeKalb
Mclean of the medical department of the
State University, sues James f. Scripps,
editor and principal proprietor OF the Even
ing News two-cent paper of this city, for
$4,000 damages for publication, from a
Canadian paper, of an article asserting that
the Professor committed adultery with a
female patient from Litsenburg, Ont, who
went to Ann Arbor for medical treatment
and was placed in his care. The article went
quite into detail about the mat
ter and alleged several repetitions of the
crime The defense will plead
justification, and propose to prove the facts.
They will also plead that the article was a
privileged one, since the plaintiff occupied a
public position in connection with a great
educational institution, and that the allega-
tlons of criminality published in Canada, and
remaining unnoticed, justified exposure to
the end that the public might be protected
from the acts of such a man, if he is guilty.
They will also plead that they published the
Professors statement denying the charges
made against him. They propose to intro
duce letters addressed to the woman in the
case, in an assumed name, which she took
from the postoffice, the handwriting of which
experts will testify is Prof McLean's 1t is
claimed that the letters allude to criminal
intercourse between them. Plaintiff pro-
poses to show by medical testimony that the
conditions at such time when the offense
is charged as having been committed were
such the acts of criminality would have been
impossible, and that the original allegations
arose from the insane jealousy of the woman's
husband, VINO first accused other parties of
the same offense one of the letters spoken
of having fallen into his hands. The prom
inence of the plaintiff, who is one of the

nature OF the charges, rejecting on, his pro-

WASHINGTON, March 26.-At the conclu-
sion of Kellogg's testimony, Mr.. Ingersoll
called Stephen w. Dorsey to the stand. The
clerk was about to administer the usual
oath, when Mr.. Merrick arose and asked per-
mission from the court to question the wit
ness regarding his belief in its binding force.
The request was granted, and Mr.. Merrick
inquired if The witness regarded the oath as
binding upon his conscience. Dorsey,
fiercely shaking his finger at the gentleman,
answered that the oath was as binding upon
him as upon Mr.. Merrick; he regarded it as
binding upon his conscience.
Mr.. Merrick asked if, in taking the oath,
the witness hadin mind the effect of a failure
to observe it upon his future state of reward
and punishment.
Instantly Mr.. Ingersoll was upon his feet.

Ingersoll then proceeded to deliver an i'm
