NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Prof. Richard
\. Proctor. the astronomer and lee
turer. died tonight in Willard Park
private hospital OF yellow fever. He
has been in the hospit al since Tuesday
night. but as late as nightfall the
authorities were reluctant to admit
the true character of his ailmsnt. The
Professors death, however. was pre-
ceded by black vomit which set all
doubt at rest. Prof. Proctor arrived
here on Monday from Florida by rail
and nut up at the Westminster Hotel
ON East 18TH street. He had spent
the summer at his place called Oak
Lawn, in Marion county, Florida, and
was not known to have been exposed
to the disease. There had been no
cases in Marion county. he was en-
route ior England where he was TO
lecture this fall and winter and had
| left his wife and certain members oil his
family in Florida. He had engaged
passage by the Cmbria for saturday.
Yesterday he complained OF feeling
unwell and it soon became apparent
that the Professor was very sick and
n health officer was called in. He had
a iaundiced appearance and his recent
arrival from Florida made the cas-.
suspicious and lie was removed 70

everything possible was done for him

Gen. Lew Wallace, author OF ben
Hur." has written life OF Ben Harri-
son. He would have done better had
he not Ben Hurried so much, but the
book was considered essential for IL
vigorous prosecution OF the campaign,
and no time was to he lost. according
to Texas Siftings.
The author tells the story OF Ben
Hur-we mean Ben HarrisOn's youth
how precocious he was, how thought
full and industrious at school; OF his
eccentricities, and his singular penchant
for wearing his grandfather's hat.
Young Ben had the greatest admira.
ton for his grandfather Hur-Harri-
son. rather-and could describe his
campaigns quite minutely when he was
only four wears old. He would point
out to his grandiat her some OF his mil
itary errors-and tell how differently
he would have acted under the circum-
ST ances had he Ben Hur-we mean to
say, been HIM.
Ben was a wag, too. Taking dinner
at a restaurant with his grandfather
one day, he gave the attendant a
penny at parting. What exclaimed
his grandfather, indignantly-for hs
didn't believe in such things-"wOuld
you tip "a waiter!
"Yes, replied Ben with a wink, 81
would even Tippecanoe.
In that way he struck the soft side
of his grandfather, who general.
showed the hard cider none.
| Another instance OF this humor: Tn
first day he went to school the teacher
said: What is your name, my SOM
"Ben," was the reply.
what is your fathers name?"
Harry"
THAT isn't his name. and you know
lit" said the teacher severely. for h
was well acquainted with the family
"Yes it is, too, said the hoy, stoutly
Il have Ben Harry's son Tor severa
wears now, and ought to know.
1t was some time before Ben Hur
the last of that.
| Gen. Wallace has omitted some @
THE above points, owing probably Il

had to be prepared for the press. The.
