DIR. ,1ackenzie's Statement.

LONDON, Oct 12.-Dr. Mackenzie in his
book on the case of the late Emperor Fred
erick states that after the Emperor's death
an attempt was made to entrap him into
false position and it was therefore settled that
no post morton examination should be
made. Dr. Mackenzie was urged to write
hia opinion as to the nature of the disease,
doubtless in the hope that, thinking himself
safe from exposure, he would answer am
biguously, but he Disconnected his enemies
by declaring the disease cancer of the la.
rynx. He contends that the operation OF
thyrotomy In cases of cancer is of deadly
character, the mortality amounting to 81
per cent He also contends that In mfj or.
lily of cases it is inadequate for complete
removal of the growth. the average recur-
rences amounting to almost 81 per cent.
The voice is destroyed or modified in 7777
per cent. of the whole number OF cases. DR..
Mackenzie holds that in case Of such tran
scendent Importance such an operation
would moi have been justified without the
clearest proof of its necessity, which be de.
cares was not forthcoming until late pc
riod of the Emperor's illness. DR.. Ger,
hardt's testimony ls held by Dr. Mackenzie
to be that of a discredited rival, and he dis-
misses the evidence of DR.. Landgraf on the
ground of his lack of skill In the use
OF the laryngoscope, which was 80
marked that the Emperor was with
difficulty prevented from diminishing him.
DR.. Mackenzie similarly objects to D.. Bra
mann's evidence and advances the testimo-
ny of experts like Doctors Krause, Wotfien
aud Howell in rebuttal. He condemns DR..
Gerhardt's ruthless cauterization for many
consecutive days as utterly unexampled and
as likely to irritate the disease if benign In
to malignant form. DR.. Mackenzie states
that in twenty-five cases of thyrotomy for
cancer, two were successful. Ia thlrty-ive
cases OF partial excision of the larnyx one
was successful, and OF l31 cases of total ex-
tirpation eight were successful

Dr.. Mackenzie does not hesitate to say, in
his account of Emperor Frederick's illness.
that the death blow was given to the Em
peror on April II, when false passage
made by DE-. Bsrsmaun's tube caused ex
tensive suppuration arouDd the traches,
which steadily drained awey the Emperor's
remaining strength and shortened his life at
least ten months. Except when the false
passage was made and Dr.. Bergman thrust
his fuger into the wound, the Emperor new

AN ANECDoTE OF HENRY BERGH.
A Good Man Who Had Many Peculi-
aritieS.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE late Henry
Bergh had various pecuiiarities, He was
most inpatient of criticism. When 1 was
editor of Puck he came one morning to the
office in Warren street, and sent up word
that he wished to see me. had frequently
made fun of him i'll the columns of the paper
owing to his having advocated the dogging
Of criminals and his approval of the club
bling of citizens by policemen. The an
nouncement of Bergh's arrival created con-
sternation in the Puck Office. Ny youth
fui colleague Mr.. H. G. Bunner got scared,
and the duty devolved solely upon me
of tackling the lover of beasts who reach
ed the editorial room with blood in his eve
do you call that a good likeness of meg
he said, exhibiting a cartoon of Puck drawn
by the late James w. Wales, in which Mr.
Bergh was represented as a benevolent
giant, petting miniature Capt. Williams,
whom he had under his arm. 1t was about
this time that Capt. Williams had attained
a specially disagreeable notoriety by his
promiscuous and unprovohed clubbing of
innocent people
''Do You call that good likeness of mel'
he repeated.
"Well, Mr.. Bargh," said I, Drawing the
question:; Suppose see what the artist
has to say on the subject" and | took him
as Mr.. Bergh and much heavier man. He
was the embodiment of good nature and had
a dry, humorous style of conversation,
quite as mirth-provoking as his cartoons.
He received Mr.. Bergh with most profuse
politeness and mOtioned him to seat.
why did you draw this asked the
anti-cruelty hero, land is it a fair likeness
of mer'
MIR. Bergh, ;" answered Wales pleasantly,
smiling, frankly speaking, l drew it, be-
cause don't think you are consistent in
approving of cruelty to men, and as regards
the portrait 1t rather hatters you than
c, herwsen
At this unexpected reply Mr.. Bergh col
ored and said: Never mind the portrait,
but l will undertake to prove 10 you and
tie editor that l am right and you are
wrong
He then proceeded to talk for upwards of
half an hour, but did not succeed in con-
vi cling either # us of the correctness of
his views. Neither could he exact promise
from us not to cartoon him again. This we
did few months afterward, representing a
steam thrashing machine in which Bergh
was represented as receiving a castigation
from wooden hands, method of punish
ment by machinery he had publicly advo-
Gated as being quite feasible

A second party played dominoes at a

the spots being white and red, and running
IN doubles up to double seven. The game l
sal was unlike any game in dominoes / had
ever witnessed, and consisted in plling up
pieces 50 as to form numbers, the same as
IN casino They called tine new number,
piled the pieces and added their own with a
rapldlty that startled me and had finished
the game and divided the bets before | had
added the totals together. Here, as every
where else, all were smoking cigarettes.
On the sideboard were lot and cold tea.
The former was kept warm by having the
pot concealed in a heavily padded and felted
basket: the latter was containe i'll hand

would have done credit to collection CT

At o'clock we visited Monaghan board
ing house. 1t was a cheap affair patronized
oy the poorer members of the community.
Inc buGks and bed clothes were clean, but
the floor was very dirty. Upon a small red
hot stove a ledger was cooking some dish
which filled the room with rather an agree
able odor. Two guests entered while we
were talking to the proprietor. They ex-
changed civiities with the other inmates
and walked tc corner of the room, which
contained some pals of water, soap and
towels, where they undressed and took a
sponge bath. Their underwear was ex-
tremely clean and their skin showed healthy
and muscular organization beneath.
When | left nearly all were lying down.
OF the twenty odd who were present two
were smoking opium and eight tobacco,
two were sleeping and nine reading. Not
one was drunk. The proportion given
would not apply to any American lodging
house | ever visited
What struck me most Of all were the
quier, good order aid politeness they dis
played. The strange sing-song or lntona-
ton OF their language rather inc eased the
effect than otherwise. When | came out
into the street party of drunken men stag
gered past, bawling discordant ballads and
reekiug with gin and profanity. | realized
then that had been living for few hours
in a strange civilization with an alien race.

ATLANTA, GA, March l7.-John S.
Hughes well known white man, made out
a bill of sale of himself to Gus Kagle-
macLer, German, who owns farm three
and half miles from Atlanta, on the Flat
Shoals road. For the past three or four
years Hughes has borrowed various sums of
money from Kagemacher, and never did
anything in the way of paying the money
back. Yesterday the German met Hughes
and insisted on having his money. Hughes
did not have n cent in the world, and nalf
in fun made a proposition to deed himself
to Kaglemacher in liquidation of ali
debts. The two parties called
on lawyer yesterday afternoon
and a bill of sale was made by Hughes to
kuglemacher, giving him control over him
self, and custody OF bls body after death.
Hughes says to-day that the sale WAS only in
fun, and that he was drunk Wien the bill

before Hughes does, he wal hold him in the
schedule of his will, the same as any other
piece of property.

PRECIOUS BURIED GEMS.
s. arching for Platinu n and Discover
ing the Coveted Hiddenttes.

Some years ago Edison, the electric wiz
ard, was convinced that platinum existed in
North Carolina, says a Raleigh special. He
sent William Earl Hidden, an accomplished
mineralogist, in search of it. Prof Hidden
little knew at the time how full of results
to him that pursuit of platinum would be.
He could not lind The desired mineral, but
he found something far better Being in
Alexandra county, a quiet part OF the
State, many miles from a railway, he was
directed by J. A. d. Stephenson to gem
bearing ground, and looking little more
narrowly, found some of the gems. He
purchased some land, returned to Edison
and reported his vain quest of platinum,
then came back to North Carolina. lie went
to work to develop his mine Sinking a
shaft in a simple way, he gradually made
the opening larger and larger, until super
ficially tie mine presented the aspect of a
stone quarry. Out OF this rude pit in the
earth were taken unnumbered gemS-one
hitherto unknown. To this Mr.. J. Lawrence
Smith of st. Louis, an eminent scientist,
gave Hidden's name, and -, .iddenite," the
equivalent of the diamond in value, became
instantly the fashion. Its tender tinted
green crystals, its intense hardness and its
new beauties when cut were only some Of
its charms. From the day of its discovery
to the present it has been a hopeless task to
supply the den and for it. Every hiddente
found is already purchased long in advance.
But strange as is this flashing green
miracle of the earth the place of its birth
is yet stranger. The laborers who are
working in tie mine handle their picks
with the greatest care They are on the
watch for ''pockets.n Possibly for an hour
the digging goes on and no pocket" is
struck. Presently the pick goes into an
opening. With tender fingers the earth is
partially removed and finally the
miner feels with his hands every portion
of the walls of the opening 1t may happen
that his search is in vain, but it is of ener
the case that his fingers touch little crystals
that are so imbedded in the sides of the
pocket that their points project outward.
They are carefully picked out Perhaps
all are heyyls, perhaps there dozen kind
Of gems, or yet again it may be that they
are only hldd Mics. Sometimes gems worth
hundreds of dollars are thus taken from one

HOW THEY HIDE MONEY.
Curious Devices of Some of the I'M
migrants.

From the Neic York Commercial Advertiser.
The pecuGarites of the people of different
nationalities in the way of carrying money
formed a topic of conversation at Castle

one of the money changers, ''carry their
coin in a snail case in which their sover-
eigns or shillings fit snugly, and have the
