THAT GOLD MEDAL.

A joint report was submitted rs to the
donations made several years ago for a gold
medal TO the most distinguished student
each year, which suggested in effect that
the money should be devoted 70 some other
equitable purpose.
Mr.. Bartlett opposed this. The fund was
created for a specific purpose and they
could lot 20 outside of that
Mr.. MaTye Jr. move that the matter be
referred to the law committee
Mr.. West Martin was opposed TO the fund
being diverted from its specific purpose
and the matter should be allowed to rest as
il is.
Mr.. Hallidie agreed with the report and
suggested the foundation Of a fellowship.
The students did not want the medal and
had passed resolutions 20 that effect
a letter was read from q young lady
claiming that she was the one entitled to
the medal
After further discussion Mr. MaTye's
motion was carried, Mr. Bartlett dissenting

Few animals are more stupid than TT e
jennings, a species of rodent in Norway
and Sweden like the common water rat of
America. They are exceedingly voracious
and bite at anything and everything. 1
have heard it said that if met by cart the
only idea of the lemming would be to bite
the wheel. This Unsuitable appetite makes
it fearful pest. An army Of jennings
will do as much damage as a swarm of
locusts. They come down in enormous
numbers from the northern districts,
where the food supply has given out, and
march through Scandinavia in two great
armies separated by the Kiolens range.-J.

FACT AGAINST FICTION.
The Misleading Character OF Circumstan
tiaI Evidence.

The Misleading Character of Circumstan-
tiaI Evidence.
There is no figmcnt of the imagina
tion-if it is all within the limits of
possibilities-more curious or strange
than some things that actually happen
The following is an instance in proof OF
this:
A few years ago Frank Millet, the
well-known artist, war correspondent
and story writer, published short
story in leading magazine which had
as it's principal feature the mysterious
killing of Partisan artist in his own
studio says the Detroit Free Press. A
web of circumstantial evidence led to
the arrest of model who had been in
the habit of posing for him. But
through some chain of circumstances
which the writer of this has now for
gotten the murder, if murder it can be
called, was found to have been caused
by the discharge of frearm through
the force of capillary attraction. The
firearm was used by the artist as a
studio accessory and was hung in such
manner that he was directly in line
with it. Its discharge occurred when
he was alone in his studio.
The story was vivid and ingenious
fight of the imagination. Now for its
parallel in fact:
A recent number of the Albany Law
Journal tells of the arrest of man
upon the charge of killing his cousin
The dead man was found lying upon a
| lounge about three o'clock in the after
noon with thirty-two caliber ball in
his brain. The cousin, who had an in
tercst of one hundred thousand dollars
in his death, was alone with him in the
house at the time. The discovery of
the real cause of death was due to the
lawyer of the accused, who took the
rifle from which the ball had been fred,
loaded and hung it upon the wall
and then marked the form of a man
upon white sheet and placed it upon
the lounge where the man had been
found. Then heavy cut-glass pitcher
/ of water was placed upon shelf above.
! The temperature was ninety degrees
in the shade. The pitcher of waite,
acted as q sun glass, and the hot rays
of the sun shining through the water
were refractcd directly upon the car
fridge chamber of the rifle. Eight
witnesses were in the room, and a few
minutes after three o'clock there was
a puff and u report and the ball strucl;
the outlined form back of the ear and
the theory of circumstantial evidence
was exploded. '.#-
This is interesting, not only because
the real occurrence is quite as strange
as the imagined one, but because the
fact came after the fiction and paral
lelcd it SO closely.

An Unconscious Woman Shifted at by a

The circus gave Tecumseh, Ala, ex.
element enough on recent Sunday to
last it for a year, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Forepaugh's show travelled
on four trains AS it is against the
Georgia laws to run through this state
on Sunday it was decided to stop at Tc-
cumseh and feed the animals and rest.
At all the stations there were large
crowds and at Tecumseh there were
several hundred when the last train APP
preached. AS it was slowing down one
of the ferocious lions managed to tear
off the door of it's cage. Hector, which
was the brute's name, thrust his head
out right in the faces of group of ne
groes who were standing on the plat
form. They could not have been worse
scared if the evil one had dropped down
among them. Hector made leap, with
open mouth, into the crowd. Such a
scattering and such yelling were never
seen or heard in Alabama. Some of the
negroes fell down in abject fright, but
the most of them struck off for home
on hard run. A dozen tried to climb
telegraph poles. One man sprang down
a well. Hector lit on his feet, but rolled
over and over. When he got up there
was hardly a man, woman or child
within fifty yards. One woman, though,
who had, tainted was lying near the
lion. With one bound he was on her,
his ugly teeth showing and his tongue
rolling out. The people who were look
ing on were Mortified. The tanner was
q long way off and there was no one
near with u pistol or rifle. To attempt
to rescue her would be almost certain
death. To the astonishment of every.
one the beast, instead of mangling the
woman, simply shifted the body, turned
it over with his paws, and after eyeng
1t suspiciously walked off leisurely He
thought that the woman was dead
Hector was recaptured and recaged
without trouble.

PRESERVES THE DEAD.
Missouri Earth Is Hctter Th'n ANY En-
Ealmin, Fluid

Missouri Earth IL Hctter Th'u Any Em-
balmin. Fluid.
A most singular fact in relation to
the remarkable preservation Of human
bodies inferred at GlenWood Springs,
Mo, presumably by the chemical proper
ties of the everything lime strata, has
inst come to light. The old cemetery
in Glenwood Springs, says the Globe-
Democrat, was abandoned some years
ago. when the town grew and enlarged
its limits so that the burying ground
became included therein, and a beauti-
ful and romantic spot overlooking the
valley was chosen for the homes of the
dead on mesa not far from the old
burial site. When, comparatively
short time afterward, on account of the
rapid growth of the town, it was de-
eided to remove the remains OF the pio-
neers from the old to the new GENE terry,
but little attention was given the mat
ter beyond that shown by the local au-
thorities in seeing that the work of dis
interment was properly carried out,
which was left in charge of the sexton.
There were about thirty bodies to re-
move, and they were all in time inferred
in the new cemetery. The work was
done slowly, and scarcely anybody but
the sexton and his assistants were
present when grave was opened, and
when the remains were taken out they
were not disturbed but left inclosed in
the cof1ins, which were found in re-
inarkable state of preservation, consid-
cring the fact that they had been buried,
in many eases, from five to seven years.
This finally led to an inspection by the
sexton, out of mere curiosity, of one of
the bodies. and great was his surprise
to find the remains in the condition of
those that had only been inferred but
q short time-that is before decompo-
sition had set in. The body was not
shrunllen nor in any way changed, APP
parently, from what it was when first
buried, but, on the contrary, the flesh
was soft, the limbs pliable, and the
features as natural as life. Many of
the other bodies in fact all of those
that were exhumed after the condi-
ton of the one mentioned was discov-
cred, were found to be in the same eX-
traordinary state of preservation.

How Man Felt Who Suffered from Pro-
gressive Paralysis.
A Los Angeles physician told us the
other day, says the Pomona Progress,
that the most trying time in all his cx-
perience was during the past five weeks,
when he stood hopelessly by and saw u
poor ranchman near Puente die by
inches OF what is known as progressive
paralysis.
The patient was first taken in one
big toe. In short time the limb was
paralyzed to the knee. Two physicians
were called, and all the known rene
dies were applied to stay the progress
of the deadening attack, but in vain.
Hour by honr death moved on its VIC
tim. The patient was propped up in an
armchair and fully realized his con-
dition. He awaited the end with the
coolness and bravery Of a martyr As
the line of death crept nearer and
nearer his heart he made calculations
Us to how much longer he could live
He said: "Now it has reached the
body" indicating the exact place will

1T has reached the bottom of my
lungs" Another short wait and ht
said, family: 1T has touched my heart,
