well known the Prince has for year S

the duchy proper as IN its outlaying

THE PROPOSED SHIPMENT OF GOLD

THE PROPOSED SHIPMENT OF GOLD.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The absorb.
ing topic here to-day among the
brokers, operators, bankers and the
financial men generally was the re-
ported arrangements for the shipments
Of gold on Saturday next. Reports
late in the afternoon were to the ef-
feet that about &, 600, 900 in gold had
been purchased for shipment. In.
quiry at the offices OF the LEADING
dealers Ia foreign exchange, including
those who were reported to have ar
ranged to export considerable ouan-
tity of TIE golG, elected the fact that
no gold will probably go forward be.
fore Saturday next, and that the ship.
ment then is contingent upon the
maintenance of the advance in the
rate for sterling exchange.
At the house of Brown Bros. Sc Co.
it was stated this evening that they
would probably snip 500, 600 on Sat
urday, but nothing definite was vet
known. Other prominent banking
houses think the advance in foreign
exchange rates has been abnor-
mally rapid, and that it is still
quite problematical as to how
large the shipments may be. When
the bank of England advanced its rate
of discount on Thursday last, the
posted rates here for foreign exchange
were 81 84I for sixty days bills and
$48S for demand. Last evening they
had advanced to $4.S6 and 81 S9{ re-
spectively, and to-day there were two
advances of half cent each. making
the rate tonight, $4,S7 and 81. 90t re-
spectively. With this ruling the rate
of money in London and New York,
dealers of the exchange say, that gold
can be shipped without loss at 81 .891.
The question as to the amount of gold
that will be exported in the near fu-
ture, they say, is largely dependent
upon the security bills that may be
offered. The advance has been stim-
ulated to some extent by approaching
settlements to be made at the end OF
the year.

NJ. BALLAD asserts that -four kept
IN sacks for two or three years is un-
wholesome, because alkaloids are
formed in consequence of the acidity
of the old flour during the transfer
nation of gluten under the influence
of the natural fermeut OF wheat.
When such -four is treated with either
and the product evsporated on a sand
bath, there is found a fatty matter
which has an acid reaction, exhales a
disagreeable odor, and has an acrid
taste, If a little hot water is added
and the mixture permitted to stand
over the sand bath short time and
then allowed to cool, the alkaloids
may easily be recognized on glass
slides on employing the usual tests.
the reactions may be obtained with
-four even but year 70 year and a
half old, but they are very marked
with -four which had lain two or
three years after having been milled.

Mrs. Mary Seamen, who now lives at

with the provision that should the
owner appear it should be refunded.

and Dr.. L. W. Councilman, for the
ten upper wards.
A reporter wishing to witness the
post-mortem work, called on DR..
Hoopman a short time ago just as he
was starting to perform such duty.
The case was very important one,
being one of the late murders com
mitted in the eastern section of that
city. Arriving at the house, about
twenty medical students were found,
who accompanied DR.. Hoopman to
the room where the dead body lay. 4
table was prepared by covering it with
au oil-cloth. The clothing was re-
moved from the body, and it was
placed on the table. The doctor care
fully inspected the corpse and noted
all wounds, which in the case we're
found to be three, two bullet wounds
and one knife-gash. The head was
first examined. An incision was
made from ear to ear over the top of
the head, followed by gush of blood
which made some of the spectators
remember that they were needed out
side for moment. The scalp was re
ncCleO DdChWHTN anu lOI WHtQ anu lhS
skull exposed. The skull was then
sawed around on a line with the eye
brows. When the top of the skull
was removed the doctor took out the
brain. That beautiful organ. with
its assures and eonvultions, was g.
mass of blood, the fatal bullet having
plowed lis way diagonally through it.
An inspection of the neck showed that
another bullet had entered at the
back, passed through toward the front,
severing the carotid artery and iugu
lar vein, The next incision was to
make long incision from the chin
down to the navel. The breastbone
was dissected and the heart and lungs
taken out for inspection. After care
fully examining the heart, the doctor
remarked that ''the columne carn8
chorde tendin3, and ariculo-ventri-
cular and semi-lunar valves are all
healthy" The lungs were found
healthy. a piece thrown in water
would not sink, which the doctor said
was test for healthy lungs. The
stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas and
Intestines were all IN tnrn carefully
removed and inspected. All this com
pleted, the organs were replaced and
the missions carefully sswed up. So
completely is this done that when the
body is dressed the fact of a post-mor-
tenn examination having been made is
not apparent.
How many post-mortems have you
made during the year" asked the re-
porter
about forty, and about one hun
dred since | have been making post
n4Ortems.n
"Glancing at the watch, it was
found that four hours had been oc-
cupied in performing the interesting
examination. Post-mortem physi.
clans are appointed yearly, their selec-
ton being made by the mayor. In
each case they file a report OF the
autopsy at the health department.
