cial event last evening in German society
in this city, conducted in truly Teutonic
fashion. The hymeneal festivities began
early in the evening, and continued una
bated unlil daybreak next morning. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the COM
pany walked in couples from the house
to the casino adjoining, and sat down at
the banqueting tables in the parlors up
stairs. In the center of the room was a
long table laden with wedding presents
and flowers. The collation. having been
served, the chief orator of the evening
read an original poem in his native
language, dedicated TO the bride.
At midnight the party assembled in

WHAT Is MIND?
Extract from DIR. Hammond's Address at
the Lehish University.

Go into the chemicl laboratory OF
your own noble university-in honor OF
whose founder we are here to-day and
touch the two poles of galvanic battery.
What is it that thrills through your
bodies, and perhaps even burns the skin
of your fingers; or, even, il the current
be strong enough, strikes you dead on
the ihstantP Galvanism. What is gal
vaDism? A force. Yes. and SO il light
force, and heat, and gravitation. But
when | am told this am just as far from
knowing what any one of the forces is as
| was before. All thai you could do if |
persisted in asking for fuller expana-
ton would be to tell me something of
the origin aud prof. critics of the force in
question: and in this way Ishould obtain
some idea of its characteristics, and
should be in no danger of mistaking it
for any other force That is what your
professor of physics does for you, and, if
you have only protited by the instruction
you have received, you have store of
facts at your command that will enable
you to recognize beat, light, electricity,
grdvitation, magnetism, whenever you
can see them manifested. When, there
fore, you ask me what mind il, answer
that it is the force possessing peculiar
properties and developed by a substance
constituting part of the nervous organ-
ism of man and other animals, and
known to anaiomists AID psychologists
as gray neryc-tissue. This is similar in
all essential respects, so far rs its terms
are concerned, to the definition that you
would give me of any other force. OF
course It can be more precise and exten-
sive, but no enlargement would change
its character. Popular Science Monthly

TWO STRANGE BEINGS.
Living Alone In a snow Bound Hut on the
Totaket Mountain
G1ilford., Conn Special to the worls.


GTilford Conn Special to the worls.
The citizens of this yincinity are excit-
ed over two strange characters who in.
habit hut on Mount Totaket. On De-
cember I, two days after the mysterious
murder of Eldridge p. johnson, of North
Madison, Mr.. Potter, who resides on the
Guilford side Of the mountain, received
a call from a dark looking young man,
who approached the house with a sug-
gestive-lookinC gun thrown over his
shoulder. The stranger in halfsmil-
ing, halfimperious manner, called for
some meat and the use of a spade. He
said he wanted to build himself a hut
on the mountain. Later in the DAY the
Potter boys and some of the neighbors
climbed up the mountain and found the
man and woman, who he said was his
wife, sitting on pile of rails and eating
the food which he had begged in the
morning, Besides the rails the man,
who to all appearance was 4 malatto,
but who claimed to be an Indian. had
been using the spade Of the farmer. The
farmers asked the fellow some questions
and were answered in English, but the
woman would not talk and claimed to
understand only French.
One of the Potter boys called the next
day and found the hut erected, but could
not find the woman. About ten DAYS
later the matter was brought to the at
tention of Deputy Sheriff Hart, oc this
town.
The sheriff reports finding the couple
in their hut. The man called himself
Little Deer and claimed to be son OF
Big Deer, chief of some Indian tribe in
Canada. About foot from the ground
and attached to the hut was box with
a calico door. The box was the porch of
the hut, and to enter the lint it was ne
Cessary to 20 on ones hands and knees
and crawl through. The place was heat
ed by a wood fire at mud-plastered
chimney in one corner, and little place
partitiOned off was bedroom.
The wife is a white girl, intelligent.
handsome, and only 20years Of age She
has handsome dark brown hair and
light blue eyes. Some of the neigh hbors
who have visited the place within the
last week announce that the woman is
in delicate condition, and that her face
has been stained with hltternut and
some other preparation and made to
look as near as possible as that Of her
tawny companion. The authorities fear
that the girl is held in duranee by this
mulatto until the child is born and SIZE
can return to her home Ii is evident
that the two were carried to the noun
tain in team, for they could not have
carried so much baggage as they have on
their backs.
Sheriff HAYS is in consultation with the
authorities Of Fairfield County to find
out the details of the case of a young
Is years of age girl who disappeared from
Bridgeport last November. As regards
dress, height, hair and eyes, the descrip-
tions are said to agree but there is a
difficulty on some other points.
