TYNDALL WILL BE INFERRED
Says He Has Not Given Up the Burial
Test
Arrangements are Being Carried on Very
QuietIy-The Casket and the Burial
Clothes Secured

The statement published in an evening
paper to the effect that Professor Tyndall
had given up his buria! test is, SO the pro-
fessor says, without foundation. He says
that he cannot imagine how such report
could have gained circulation, as he has
been devoting his attention for the past
few days almost exclusively to prepare
tons for the test. In support of his claim
he submits the following letters written by
Orr & Hines, the undertakers:
To Professor Tyndall: Strive have
read with interest the statement published
in the press that you intend to prove your
ability to throw yourself into cataleptic
state and be buried for SO many days.
While we have seen and known you, ex-
traordinary power above the ground, we
take the liberty of doubling the success of
your experiment. AT the same time you
are backing your opinion with your life,
and we are sufficiently interested in mod.
ern science to assist you in proving what
yon so firmly believe.
We will present you with casket,
trimmed and decorated in style worthy
of the occasion and your position.
If you decide to accept our offer it will
be necessary for our representative to take
certain measurements; at any time con-
venient to yourself The casket will be
ready for inspection two hours after re-
ceipt of your acceptance of our offer.
To the above Professor Tyndall has re-
piled as follows:
Gentlemell-Your favor offering to pro-
vide casket for my burial test received.
have received several such, but after Que
investigation have decided to accept 20 lrs
shall call tomorrow and be measured.
Professor Tyndall has since called upon
Orr & Hines, has been measured and the
caslet is now ready for use, but the pro-
lessor says he will not need it until the
morning of January z, 1896. Yesterday
he received the following letter from
Brown Bros. the Spring street clothiers,
which explains itself:
Dear Sir-Ihe suit of underwear or
dered by you for your burial has arrived
from the mill this morning, and we would
be pleased to have you call and inspect the
same to see if it meets your approval.
A call upon Brown Bros. developed the
fact that the suit ordered by Professor
Tyndall is of the best quality of silk and
will cost the clever professor the neat sum
of $3.50. The order was taken some
weeks ago and the measurements sent to
the eastern agents of Brown Bros. The
underwear is of silk with ornamental
stitching, and Professor Tyndall says he
will surely have use for it after his burial
test is over. Despite reports to the con-
trary, Tyndall declares that he will carry
out this test. He seems to be in dead earn
est and appears thoroughly confident of
his ability to carry out the test. He is now
arranging for his committee.

As to Mr.. Emery's Competency

The competency of Frederick b. Emery,
of Long Beach, was partially inquired into
before Judge Clark yesterday, and devel-
oped a rather inharmonious state of af-
fairs in the Emery family. Mr.. Emery is
quite infirm, and his oldest son, Frank,
has petitioned for the guardianship of the
person and estate of his father. Mr.. EN-
cry has been married twice. BY his first
wife hs had three children, and has had
two or three by the second. The second
Mrs. Emery is much younger than her
husband, and bids fair 10 live for many
years to come. The Emery estate consists
of about $4,000 worth of real estate, inn
proved and unimproved, principally To-
Gated at Long Beach, and the estate is the
bone of contention, rather than the custody
of the old mans person.
II appears that Frank Emery, who for
merly lived in San Luis Obispo county,
thought it would be better to divide the es-
tate during his fathers life time, and COM
municated this fact 20 his stepmother
Mrs. Emery could not see the matter in
this light she said that the income was
barely enough to support her husband and
herself, and that anyhow it was time
enough to divide the property on the old
mans death. Frank accordingly moved
to Long Beach, where he could keep an
eye on the estate. After Investigating he
came 10 inc conclusion tnat Mrs. Emery
was manipulating the estate in her own
interest and transferring the property in
her own name, so that when her husband
died there would be nothing to divide
among the children. He accordingly insti-
tuted suit for the guardianship as above
stated, alleging that his father is mentally
incompetent, and incapable of managing
his affairs. Mrs. Emery in her answer de-
MES that her husband is mentally incom-
potent, or that he is incapable of transact
ing business. She further alleges that the
whole estate is community property and
has been accumulated since their marriage
in 1878.
During the hearing yesterday morning,
one witness testified that Mr.. and Mrs.
Emery were engaged in no business, but
were living off rents, that Mrs. Emery was
tax; the funds of the estate and invest
ing in lands in her own name, and another
said that the old man had complained to
him that he could not get any pocket
money and that he was only passenger
| around there, not the conductor. He said
he did not think the old man was in a con-
dition to handle money, but that he thought
he should have pocket money.
| As old Mr.. Emery has recently been on
the jury panel in Judge Clark's court,
| when he showed no signs of mental weak
ness. Judge Clark refused to hear any
! more testimony until the alleged incom-
petent had been produced in court and ne
| had seen him, and adjourned the examine
ton until Friday next.

the most prominent railroad lawyers
in the country were present, but an
agreement was reached, the terms OF
which are yet a secret. 1t is adj

the boycott. The temporary restrain

Cuban Patriotism.
A President Who Tied up His
Clothes With Strings.
Havana Letter in n. Y. Herald.

Havana Letter in n Y. Herald.
The condition of the insurgents at
present is one of brightest hope
compared with the previous mis-
fortunes they have endured in pre-
vious wars. In 1871 and 1872, even
President Cespedes and his staff
were reduced to the very deptk
Of misery. They lacked the
commonest necessaries of life
Cespedes was clothed in rags
that were held to his body with
strings. The insurgents were with
out arms or ammunition and could
offer no resistance to the Spanish
soldiery. There was no time fol
rest or repose. The Cubans were
forced to take refuge in the widest
part of the island and for days to
gether their sole food was sour
oranges.
Thus for four months they wander
ed about living on wood rats and
roots, and flying before their enemy.
Then to cap the climax of misery
came the pestilence. There were nc
hospitals, and but little medicine
The i'll and the dying had to ford the
rivers and struggle through the
forest to avoid Spanish vengeance,
and the track of the retreating Gu.
bans was marked with dead men
The plague swept away friend and foe
alike.
The death of Marti and the alleged
wounding of Gomez may check the
struggle for time, but it will moi
end it. The Cubans are ten times
better armed than ever before They
are better provisioned, better clothed
and fight with more courage and
system. In the old war they used
defensive tactics almost entirely.
The miserics of that war have taught
them new tricks. Witness the at
tacks on Caney, Del Cristo, Dos
Bocas and other towns intrenched by
4he Spaniards.
In constant activity lies the Gu
bans' only chance of success. Il
they should allow the cause to slum'
Der or their purposes to flag many
adherents among the better class Of
inhabitants who are now watching
the struggle with an eye to active
sympathy would fail to join them.

W oman's Suffrage.

Woman's suffrage seems to be fore
most in the minds of South Carolina's
peoples at this time, and their Chief
executive, Governor John Gary Evans,
has reserved an expression of bis views
upon the subject for the Woman's Edi-
tion Of The State He said:
"Woman suffrage seems to be a
necessity. There is only one thing that
seems to endanger the success Of the
movement, and that is the diversity
Of opinion among the sex. Woman is
possessed of greater degree of patri.
otism than man, and l am satisfied
that if the men were disfranchised the
country would be better off. If both
sexes were given the ballot I am afraid
the result would be disastrous, as the
influence of the sexes would conflict,
and iustead of having positive and
negative pole to our battery we would
have both positive and correspond
ing repulsion of forces. Women should
be allowed to hold all the sfices, if
given the ballot. We would thus have
ideal rulers, supported by the strong
arms of the other sex, who would take
great pride in sustaining their favor
ties.
1--WE have tried women officers on a
small scale in South Carolina, and if
the other departments we're as we'll
conducted, there would no logger be
complaint. All unmarried men believe
in extending the rights of women and
allowing them full liberty. Wbeo we
become old married men our opinions
seem to change why, I caDuot tell
Later in the year will let you know,
