New York, June 2.-Dr. Briggs re-
turned from Washington last night.

not have a care in the world.

anything in the terms of the endow-

"None whatever. The general as

he will be sustained in his action by

How tho Thief Must Kick HIMSELF

Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and
jeweler, was looking over lot of unre-
deemed pledges yesterday when he
found something which made his hair
fairly stand on end. About year ago
a young man called at the store Of Mr..
Stone and said he desired to borrow
some money from the Office on some per-
sonal property. The property consisted
of {. valise, an overcoat, a suit of cloth
ing and a gold watch. The amount
loaned on the goods was $45, and the
man who secured the loan said that he
would call in the course of a few days
and redeem the property. The goods
were placed in the vault and have re-
manned there undisturbed ever since.
When the musty old satchel was taken
out of the vault yesterday it was found
to be in the same condition as it was at
the time it was placed in the room for
safe keeping. The clothing had been
made into separate package. The va
lise was broken open, and inside was
found red leather belt considerably the
worse for wear. The belt was taken
out, and in handling it was noticed that
it was very heavy and had little pockets
along the side.
Mr.. Stone took the belt out into the
front room of the store and opened the
pockets. Out rolled gold pieces, double
eagles, to the number of 81. They were
as bright and shiny as the day they were
taken from the mint, and they looked as
though they had just been taken from
the bank. The coins were all of the
same date, 1890. The money legally be-
longs to the finder unless some person
from whom it was taken, as it was ap-
parently stolen. proves his property

Lifelike Death.

The current number Of The Popular
Science Monthly contains a paper timely
to the memorial season, and which will
be received with interest not alone by
veterans, but by men of science. Writing
of the phenomena of Death In Battle"
Mr.. George l.. Kilmer deals at length
with the mootod question, "Do men
sometimes retain in death the last atti-
tudes of life?' Citing the opinions of
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan-G Grant in
the negative and Sherman and Sheridan
in the af1irmative-the writer refers to
cases at Belmont, Antietam, Williams
burg and other fields of the civil war re-
ported by army surgeons, and also from
cases in the Crime - and Italian wars.
Soldiers We're foN.A. dead from battle
wounds with various parts of the body
in the last attitudes Of life and held so
by u severe risility, the onset of which
seemed to have been simultaneous with
the coming of death.
The conservative view is that death is
in all cases followed by relaxation of
muscles; hence the attitude held when
the body becomes rigid must be Il new
one caused by the contractions of rigid
ity. The surgeons whose records are
given, however, found the rigidity and
the warlike attitudes upon bodies still
warm and similar appearances upon
others where death had taken place from
few hours to 24. 4S and even so hours
before. The cause, the writer believes,
is cheat stiifening" of the juices of the
muscles. He finds that in all cases re-
ported the circumstances of the action
favored great bodily heat combined with
excessive muscular action that would
create acid in the muscles and invite
early rigidity. He finds also an analogy
in the action of lethal currents of cleo
tricity, which produce an instantaneous
and firm, although transient, rigidity.
Cases of rigidity in lifelike attitudes
from lightning stroke have been fre-
quently reported, but in common with
those found il the literature of the bat
tlefield, have been attributed to the i'm
agination of descriptive writers. The
records of men who stake professional
honor upon their statements contain
cases as star,iing and as remarkable as
any that have been brought into play to
adorn tales of tho battlefield.

Of College Training.

Most of our magazine writers state
the truth and nothing but the truth, but
they do not state the whole truth. The
Forum for June supplies an example of
this in an article by Professor Charles F.
Thwing ON the proportion of college bred
mon among those of sufficient distinc-
tion to appear in a well known cyclo-
pedia of biography. He finds that of
the IS, 142 men named in the book, 5,376
ire college men, or elightly more than
Dne-third. This he considers exceeding
ly significant, but it is more apparent
than real. As well claim that colleges
make religious men because such large
proportion are clergymen.
That our colleges are the mothers of
great men goes without saying Fools
cannot go to college if they would, and
stupid dolts without talent or ambition
would not if they could. Many college
bred men would have achieved success
without this training Perhaps more
than few would have arisen to greater
distinction if they had never seen the in
side of college building.
To deny that college training is a
benefit to q young man is pernicious
nonsense. But the question to consider
is whether it pays for the time and ex-
pense. College training does not create
poets, but it sweetens the poets song
It does not make great writers or artists
OF inventors, but it teaches them how to
use the greatness that is and was within
it gives them new birth and new
life.
Whether it pays a bright young man
to spend four of the best years of his life
in college to- possess that which today
is often drug in themarket, or whether
he had best devote four years to a course
of self instruction outside a college, is a
question he can best decide for himself.
But he should not forget that it is a
pretty good experiment to take a chance

A correspondent of The Globe-Demo-
crat describes weird and wonderful
region he visited in the northwestern
part of Mexico. On the dividing line
between the Mexican states of Sonora
and Lower California is tract 35 miles
long FROM east to west and 10 to IS miles
in width from north to south, which the
Indians long since POLITICALLY named
"Bad Mems Hunting Grounds" 1t is
probably such a region of miniature vol
canoes as exists nowhere else on this
globe. 1t contains thousands of volcanic
mounds, ranging in size from a hen
coop to house Of moderate dimensions"
and not trace of life, animal or vegeta-
bic.
The district is 200 miles southwest of
Yuma, A. T., and isrcached by following
the Rio Colorado to the dry bed of one
of its tributaries. thence following this
dry bed to the volcanic pit. 1t is really
a basin 200 to 800 feet below sea level,
and why it does not fill up with water,
either salt or fresh, is one of natures un-
explained mysteries. But the smells of
these sheol vomiting mounds! In de-
scribing them the writer rises to the
height of the poetic. There are hot
springs, showers of mud, water and ash
es, putfs of smoke, and such boiling,
seething and scenting that it makes the
beholder first dizzy, then sick. There is
lake of some kind of demonish stew
that is as Black as ink. The prevailing
smell is that of mixture of burning sui
phur and blue lick water, added to the
odor of tar roofing pot. The writer
makes the statement on his honor as an
honest man that you can smell the basin
20 miles away.
At the basin itself. however, strangely
enough, scores Of springs of delicious
sweet water sparkle alongside the volcan-
icspouting mouths. Some day undoubt-
edly this basin will become famous re-
sort for travellers. AS to the effect of its
appearance on a stranger, our poetic cor
respondent says, After the feeling of
awe wears off, the first impression is that
you are standing on the edge of hell"
What the impression is before the feel
ing of awe wears off we are not told.
