Ex-MAYOR HOPKINS RETURNS.
He SAYS He Is Not Certain Debs Was
Correctly Reported.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Ex-Mayor John p.
Hopkins. of Chicago, who arrived by the
Parts to-day, went abroad four months ago,
and has visited England, Scotland and
Wales. France. Germany. Austria, Switzer-
land and Italy. The special object of his
trip however. was to secure treatment for
a throat trouble of long standing, and he
spent considerable time at Soden, which is
ten miles from Main, un-
der the care of Prof. Moritz Schmidt and
Professor Thilemos. Professor Schmidt
was the one who refused to give GER
tificate that the Crown Prince Frederick
was not afflicted with cancer. No prince
can succeed to the throne of Prussia who
has an incurable disease, so IL is said, and on
that occasion Doctor, afterward Sir Morrill,
Mackenzie, granted such certificate. For
thirty-eight days. while he was under
treatment Mr.. Hopkins never once spoke
He Is now apparently much better.
Mr.. Hopkins positively declined to speak
about any political subject yesterday. He
said he had studied municipal government
a good deal while he was abroad, but he
did not intend TO say anything about his
observations until he got home. Regard
ing the remarks attributed 10 Eugene "
Debs of the American Railway Union, all
that Mr.. Hopkins would say was that he
been correctly reported. According to the
newspaper reports, Debs had accused the
x-Mayor of having encouraged the union
to strike year ago.

McthuSclah'S Fate.

While studying the earlier chapters
in the book of Genesis the other even
ing, and more particularly those chap
tiers which treat of the generations of
Adam, | was led to investigate the life
of Methuselah, whose 900 years have
Out-spanned any other recorded human
life, and much to my surprise found
that all we know of this long life is
found i'll five verses, the twenty first
twenty-second, twenty-ffth, twenty
sixth, and twenty seventh, of the fifth
chapter of Genesis. In the conrse Of
my investigation, however, / CHANGED
upon some curious figures, which seem
to me to shed light upon the cause of
his death, and to indicate that Me-
thuselah was drowned in the flood.
1t appears from the twenty fifth
verse of the fifth chapter that Me-
thuselah was the father of Lamech and
that after the birth of Lamech he lived
1872 years. Lamech was the father of
Noah, and was 1872 years old at the
the birth of the latter. Hence Methu-
selah lived just 600years after the birth
of Noah.
In the sixth verse of the seventh
chapter we read: "Noah was 500 years
old when the flood of waters was upon
the earth" Therefore we are justified,
claims the contributor to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, in surmising that the
ancient patriarch Methuselah, was
among those who were swept from the
earth by the great deluge, and more
particularly SO when we read a little
further on that it was in the second
month of the sixth hundredth year that
the flood occurred. For Methuselah
must have died within those two
months, and it is therefore almost a
certainty that he persisted in the STOOD
of waters"
Not only do these calculations point
to the probable cause of the death of
MethuSelah, but they also furnish an
explanation for the silence of the sacred
narrative regarding his life, for the
verses Immediately succeeding those
already quoted are to the effect that
the people of the earth were destroyed
because of their corruption, and we are
thus driven to the conclusion that the
gray in the cause of righteousness, and
that, therefore, there was nothing good
to be written concerning him such as
was written of his godly father Enoch
or his righteous descendant Noah.

Rainiest Spot on Earth.

speaking of heavy rainfalls," said
a weather crank on Wednesday night,
as he came dripping into a basement
restaurant where very bad dinner may
be had with equally bad wine for a
very low price, 'there is a place out in
India called Cherrapongee, which has
held the rainfall record ever since there
has been rainfall record, and it holds
it SO tight that no ether spot on the
face of the earth has ghost of a show
to loosen it. Here in New York we've
had fall of over inches i'm the past
thirty-six hours, and the afternoon pa
pers say that that breaks the local rec
ord, but that, of course, is only little
squirt on Farmer Dunn's part, and he
can't keep it up. The average annual
rainfall in New York is somewhere
under 30 inches, and out in Cherrapon-
gee it is over 60 inches a year. The
nearest approach to that fearful splash
is at JingapOre, where they get about
1870 inches per year, and there is place
i'm Honduras where the yearly fall is
about $50 inches. Cherrapongee is on
the Cossya Hills, overlooking the Bay
