dent, after prolonged illness and recovery
found himself q living skeleton. A dissection
Of this man after death disclosed the fact that
the thoracic duct had been nearly closed up
The earliest recorded example Of this class was
Claude Ambrose Seurat, born at Troyes,
France, April 10, 1871. According to the nc
count at his birth there was nothing in his ap-
pearance that indicated disease, but in proper
ton as he grew in size his flesh gradually wasted
away.
On the other hand, any influence which slim
ulates the nutritivs mechanism unduly de-
grades the secretive and assimiiative functions
and tends to produce abnormal fat. The Iv-
ing skeleton, with his limited capacity for food
and assured income as freak, enjoys some de-
gree of happiness, but the fat person deserves
commiSeration. Tho statistics Of this class arc
quite extensive.
Mr.. Bright, an English grocer Of Maiden,
weighed trite of Clio pounds, and an Irish
man, Roger Byrne, who died in 1904, was ''sev-
eral stones heavier than the celebrated Mr..
Bright" Dir. Spooner OF Tamworth, though OF
medium height, weighed $50 pounds. His coat
was something immense-

THE THIRD DAY !
PROCEEDINGS OF THE FAMOUS
BACCARAT TRIAL.
UNPLEASANT FACTS DEVELOPED.
The Prince Of Wales Testihes That
He Saw no Crooked Play-The
Case Against Cumming Be-
ieved to be Settled.

LONDON, June 3.-The Baccarat case
has thus far developed the following
facts That Gordon Cumming signed a
document for the purpose of securing
himself against the charge being pub
licly made known, and that he did not
demand to be confronted with his aC-
cusers, but signed the damaging docu-
ment and left the house next morn
ing, as he was told to do by Gen Will
Jams and Lord Coventry. This conduct
he explains by saying that at the time he
had lost his head.
That the Prince of Wales did not ask
him to sign the paper, nor was 1t even
mentioned in the course of the interview
which he had with the Prince.
That Lord Coventry and Gen Owen
Williams, who advised him to sign, were
very old friends, and he had no reason
to doubt that they believed him to be
guilty. That he took no steps to assert
his innocence until the scandal leaked out,
and then because he was justified in the
thought that the affair would be taken
up by his club, his regiment and his
friends So the case stands to-day, the
evidence given by the Prince of Wales
not materially affecting the main Issue.
The Prince in the Box.
The Prince of Wales went into the box
looking very much annoyed, He spoke
with a German accent, showing his en-
barrassment. He continually wiped his
bald head with his left hand and crossed
one leg over the other. His testimony
showed plainly that he still has a fellow
feeling for his old friend Cumming.
Gossip About the Trial.
The Prince of Wales made a decidedly
favorable impression as a witness. His
testimony was given with a frankness
that seemed to command the belief of all
present, at the same time the Prince was
| unable to conceal that he felt himself in
an unpleasant position. His popularity
| was shown by the spontaneous respect
which everybody displayed.
The general talk in clubs and lobbies
| Is that the testimony of the Prince has
settled the case against Cumming. His
| avowal that he had cut Sir William since
! last September is accepted as stronger
evidence of the Princes belief in Cum
| ming's guilt than if he had plainly ex.
| pressed his conviction OF such guilt. In
matters of the kind the Prince is known
| to be merciless.
| Clubmen generally scout the story that
| q Womans revenge was at the bottom OF
the Cumming exposure. One Of the lead
ing men of the Marlborough-the Prince
of Wales own-said last night that it
was a story impossible to keep, and that
It was we'll for society and the army It
could not be kept, The Prince, he said,
had erred only in attempting to keep the
matter secret through his sympathy for
! Cumming
One of the rumors floating about Is
that Cumming had doubly offended the
Prince by his free remarks regarding the
Prince and Lady Brooke, and that had
Cumming kept his tongue still as to the
Prince and the lsly, he would have had
influence enough behind him to save him
! from the present disgrace.

TIMELY SUGGESTION.

AS the question of increasing the
salaries of the teachers of the public
schools is being discussed with re-
newed vigor, and as the School Board
Will meet tonight to elect teachers,
Is proper at this time to make a sug-
gestion in that connection.
There is no more important branch
of work in the school than the teach
ing of drawing and music and method
of teaching those studies should be
kept as near the standard of perfec-
tion as possible.
That department is now under the
charge of one teacher and it is recog-
nized that the duties developing upon
\ that one teacher are too arduous.
1t is therefore suggested that the
School Board, at its meeting tonight,
decide to elect two teachers for that
branch, one to teach drawing and the
other for vocal music.
This is a reasonable suggestion and
it is hoped the board will duly con-
slider it.
1t is repeated that the combined
work is too much for one teacher.
&pere is no doubt that overwork in
Snat department contributed to the
death of one of the best teachers OF
the corps and that her predecessor re-
signed for like reason. That the
present teacher should complain is NOT
surprising. Indeed it is surprising
that the teacher has succeeded in ac
complishing such good work under
the circumstances. But the accom-
lplishments of the past cannot be useC
/ as arguments against division of iti
work. The teacher may bear up un
n der the strain for while, but nature
will eventually assert itself and then
well, the teacher will be forced to re
tire and the department will suffe
from the disadvantages that attend
lhe appointment of new teacher
To expect good work the instructo
1 must be given fair play and not b
n handicapped by overwork.
