The president attended Mr.. Tilden's fun
eral and stood with bowed head beside the
coffin of the great master Democrat. Sew
eral members of the cabinet also came over
from Washington to Greystone to be present.
A striking and pleasing feature of the scene
as the body lay in state at Greystone was the
absence of heavy black drapery about the
revered remains. The catafalque, where the
body lay in state in his own room looking
out over the Hudson, was covered with snow
white hangings It was beautiful and
unique.
Many famous men have "died like tree at

Mr.. Tilden was spared that most sor-
rowful kind Of decay. For some
years his body has been practically
dead. He was SO paralyZed that
it is hard to see how he kept in the flesh
so long. His vocal chords ceased to act sew
eral years ago, and he could only speak in a
whisper, so low that the listener had to bend
his head close to Mr.. Tilden's lips to hear. His
left hand was useless; his right hand shook SO
that if he wished to extend it in greeting to a
friend it had to be shot forward with q sud-
den impulse to make it move at all.
When he walked it was with a slow, sluf-
fling step, painful to be seen. His hearing
was Tue only SeItSe tu1D FEuihlieu W Huti per

The Tilden burial plot is of unique and

center are buried the statesman's father and
mother. A tall nlarble;burial urn is placed

around their graves. After that comes

Particulars of 9 Curious Discovsr y

Great interest is felt throughout Italy in
the condition of man named Succi, who
lives at Forli, in the Romagna, and who as
serts that lie has discovered in the course of
his travels through great part of Africa
sort of liquor extracted from various herbs
which has the effect of 'n1ummifying" the
body, SO to speak, and rendering it insensible
to any kind of want, such as hunger or
thirst; while it will admit of person taking
any poison, however violent, without feeling
any i'll effects. A committee of the inhab-
itants of Forli has been formed, at his request,
to watch the experiments which he is making
upon himself, and several doctors who ex-
amined him have stated that the case is very
curious one, and that they cannot detect any
fraud. Succi takes nothing but four glasses
of water day, and says that he feels very
well AT the request of Prof Peruzzi, of the
Bologna Academy Of Medicine, he has started
for that city, where he proposes to go through
another course of fasting and to take poison.

II UOutu HuUS UceH rough on DuUCS.
In the three situations given above, the
average woman is grand, massive, Titanic,

these feminine moods from the weather side
of high board fence and does not stand with

poetry in his soul. In all she is great, but in
the brick throwing act she is greatest-and
most dangerous. There is physiological
reason for this. 1t is not her fault that an

the authorities. Nor is she mentally consti-

wives weakness of mental grasp in not being
able to distinguish between a mutilated and

1t will be observed by all who take the

William Findlay Rogers was born in Forks
townships Easton, Pa, Jan. l, 1920 His
grandfather, Joseph Rogers, came to Amer
lea from ireland in 1856 His father, Thomas
]. Rogers, was by trade printer. He was
an officer in the war of 1872 Gen. William
F. Rogers imbibed his military spirit from
both his fathers and his mothers relatives.
His first work was done on The Easton
Wing as printers apprentice. In 1884 he
went to Philadelphia and obtained work on
The Philadelphia Inquirer. In 1916 he came
to Buffalo and began sticking type" on The
Courier This he left for work ON The Re-
public, paper then entirely independent of
The Courier, but which was afterwards con-
solidated with its larger rival, and which has
now suspended. Gen. Rogers established the
first Sunday newspaper in Buffalo-The
Weekly Republican This paper, however,
soon ceased publication. He then went back
on The Courier, where he remained until the
outbreak of the rebellion.
Shortly after his return from tho war he
was appointed city auditor. At the next
election he was made city comptroller, and
afterwards was elected mayor. In 1882 he
was chosen to represent the district in con-
gress, whittier his father had been elected at
the beginning of the century. He was ap-

old and infirm as the Sage of Greystone
was. He was the shrewdest political organ
izer of his time.
Rumor had the distinguished old man be-
Jrothed to more women than was the luck of
any other bachelor of his time, yet he lived
and died single. There is not even the record
of an early love disappointment, such as in
vested President Buchanan with romantic
interest, to gild Tilden's blunt unvarnished
bachelorhood. He appears to have remained
single because he liked it best that way. Had
he chosen he might have been a bachelor
president. There is every reason to believe
that he might have died president had he ac-
cepted the Democratic nomination in 1884.
He could have had it also in $780, AS it was,
he was president maker, and perhaps that
was as much consolation to him as having
the Office for himself. At any rate, it was
far less bother His letter of declination in
1884 gave the nomination to Mr.. Cleveland.

sand Drifts on the Baltic shore.

On the south shore of the Baltic the sins of
reckless forefathers are being cruelty visited
upon their descendants. Two hundred years
ago the coasts of Prussia were defended by
bulwark of magnificent beech forests, that
resisted the inroads of floods and dunes; but
about the time of the great elector the
work of devastation began and continued
until some 1000 square miles of woodlands
had been turned into naked sandhills Now
nature is getting her revenge. Year after
year the rains and strong floods have washed
out the remaining vegetable film of those hills,
leaving nothing but sand and gravel which
gradually accumulated in towering dunes,
and at last invaded the landward settlements
with perfect avalanche of drift sand
Seen from the village of Schwarzort, fifty
miles northeast of Koenissberg, the destruc
tion dealing sand ridge looms up to height
of 120 feet, naked and steep, ever rising by
additional deposits brought in by the sand
laden sea storms, and ever threatening to dis
charge those deposits upon the southern val
leys The fisher hamlcts of Altnegeln and
Karwaiten were literally submerged by a
single storm, and the little town of Pilkuppen
had twice to be moved, with all its buildings
and fences The remaining vestiges of the
ancient woodlands are unable to stay the mis- .
chief. A fine forest near Schwarzort has
been turned into sand bank, crowned by the
withered tops of beech trees, which q years
work of the entire coast population would
fail to rescue from their sand grave.--Dr.
