has prevented some Of the leading
newspapers publishing the facts. These
stories certainly do seem beyond belief,
Norman Cameron, one Of the students
recently expelled now on the editorial
staff Of the Detroit News, first brought
the charges before the public.
The story that aroused the ire of the
faculty Of the university against Mr.,
Cameron and led to his expulsion was
one telling Of brutal so-called coke"
whereby student in the medical de-
partment had been compelled to eat
the flesh Of human being while pur-
suing his studies in the anatomical lab
oratory. Mr. CAMERON was a member
OF the graduating class Of the law de-
partment and the correspondent of the
Evening News here. His father is the
Rev. Dr. Cameron of Boston, Mass, a
former clergyman of New York city.
Mr.. Cameron was expelled just six
weeks previous to the time Of gradua-
ton.
Ever since he began his work as a
newspaper correspondent he was har-
assed by the law faculty. He was
given to understand that his writings
would have to be toned down, and that
only such news as reflected credit on
the institution would be tolerated. But
he felt that he owed duty to the paper
he represented, as we'll as to the public,
for the Ann Arbor University Is state
institution.

Success.

Keep the law of duty now ever be-
fore you; let it be your neverfailing
pillar Of light, BE brave and on the
square with your conscience to the
last. Your success in life may not
equal your hopes or your deserts;
1t is not in man to ensure success. The
best and wisest of us may fail in
the struggle; but we may have our
consolation even then. To gain the
worlds applause, and snatch its fleet
ing spoils, is not mans sole and proper
business here, Immortality smiles
forth on the scene, and beckons him
ever EDWARDS in the race for those
eternal honors which the world can
neither give nor take away-the prize
which all may strive for, and no one
strive in vain.

A Thrifty Nation.

Norway has $50 savings banks, of
which siXty-seven are in the cities and
2s3 in the rural districts, The total
number of depositors having accounts
with the banks is 47O, 100, OF these
260,3 are in the cities, and POI, 42S in
the rural districts Compared with
the population of the kingdom, this
shows an average number of 1886 de-
positors to each 1000 inhabitants, or
1872 for the rural districts and 500 for
the cities, In this connection it must
be noted that a great number of peo-
pie in the rural districts make deposits
in the savings banks of the cities, while
hardly any residents of the cities make
deposits in the banks of the rural dis
tricts.

United Press and the Chicago Times
Herald, was almost expelled two
months previous because he reported
the circumstances of what is known
hereabouts as the Kirchner case. Pro-
fessor Otto Kirchner, of Detroit, while
delivering a lecture to the junior law
students, was driven from the platform
by the noise and cat-yells Of the stu
dents. This exhibition Of ruffianism
was the talk of the town, and when Mr..
Downing made a reference to it in an
article he was quickly summoned be-
fore the faculty and told that if he re-
ported anything detrimental to the uni
versity he would be expelled.
The story of Mr.. Cameron's trouble
is an interesting one. A short time
previous to his expulsion he sent to a
newspaper a story Of a medical student
who ate a sandwich in which human
flesh had been substituted for other
meat. The Joke" was perpetrated in
the dissecting room. The victim, Fred
erick Won Widekind, Familiarity known
as the baron" took one bite of the
mess and swallowed it. He then took
another before he realized what hide
Gus and barbarous act had been done,
but being a plucky man he refused to
show any signs of distress in the pres
ence Of the other students, Luckily he
was able to discard what he had eaten.
AS the bodies are picked in arsenic
this probably saved his life. Won Wide
kind was i'll three days nevertheless
from the effects, and it was feared at
one time that blood poisoning had set
in.
When the baron" learned that Mr..
Cameron had got into trouble on ac-
count Of exposing this piece of brutality

divorce Proceedings Begun Agalnst
a HoboIken Man.
Hoboken society is now very busily en-
gagged in discussing the latest marriage
failure in that city and the subsequent
divorce proceedings. The parties to the
scandal are Mrs. Sarah A. Focht, who has
filed a bill in the Court of Chancery for a
limited divorce from her husband, George
Foeht, DR., and alimony for the mainten-
ance of herself and two children.
In the fall of 1876 Miss Sarah A. Curley,
a very pretty daughter of a well known
Hoboken man, was married to George Focht,
Jr., the son of the wealthy owner of a
foundry on Adams street, between First and
Second streets. The young couple were
united after a short courtship.
Focht took his wife to a comfortable home
on Adam street, where they>Tesided happily
until after two sons had been born to them.
These boys are now fourteen and twelve
years old each.
After this, so Mrs. Focht alleges, her hus-
bands affection for her gradually lessened,
and he began a system of neglect which
finally eliminated in extreme cruelty. The
wife says she bore with her husband as long
as she could, and then, unable to endure his
cruelty any longer, she and her two boys
left their home.
Mrs. Focht consulted Corporation Attor-
ney Minturn and retained him to begin pro-
ceedings for divorce. Focht will probably
contest the suit. He denies that he ever
treated his wife cruelty or even unkindly.
