about retiring from politics He Is no longer IN

slightest interest In the race and Is doing hing
to help injure any candidate. Mckinley is
strong In Indiana. Now that General Harrison IS
out OF the race. believe that nine out OF every
ten Republican voters in the State are for Nc
Kney."
Other politicians around the hotel deprecated
the attempt OF the antl-McKinley men to discredit
Mckinley upon the money question. The unver-
sal opinion expressed was that the attempt would
be vain others that the combine have made

NOT AFRAID OF PINGREE.
Michigan Railroads are Not Alarmed
Because of His Proposed Leg
islation.

Chicago, Dec 12.-Michigan railway
officials do not seem to be seriously
alarmed regarding the antagonistic leg
islatiOn which Gov. Pingree promises to
carry through this winter. The manager
of a leading Michigan road who is in the
city. laughed when asked whether the
Michigan roads were scared.
Not in the least he said. NO doubt
the governor would like to bring about
the reforms he talks about. But fortu-
nately for the railroads. he cannot make
the laws himself and the legislature
may not be as pliable as the governor
thinks it Will be.
Judging by the present indications,
the radical views so freely expressed
by Mayor Pingree will not be shared by
the majority of the legislature. and I
am willing to bet that few of his pro-
posed extreme measures will be enacted
into laws

GAVE HER BODY TO DISSECT
DR.. Caroline Brown WinsIow Be
queatned Her Body to a Medi-
cal COLLEGE.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE late Dr.
Caroline Brown Wilson, the well known
woman physician, who died this week.
left Will bequeathing her body to the
Howard university to be carefully dis
sected by a woman medical student for
the purpose of advancing her knowledge
of anatomy.
After that she desired that the several
parts of her skeleton should be wired
together for the use of the Minor nor
NAL school Of the district founded by
her friend Myrtilla Minor the skeleton
to occupy the place in the school the
founder designed that her skeleton
should occupy
DR.. Winslow desired this disposition
of her body because the laws of the
country require that every medical stu
dent shall obtain and dissect one human
body before he or she can graduate or
receive a diploma, and because there
are no methods provided by which such
bodies can be legally obtained except by
bequest or sale by the owner previous to
death
If the trustees of the university de-
clined to accept the bequest, the body
was to be cremated. 1t is understood
that the university did decline to re-
ceive the body and it was accordingly
cremated and the ashes will be inferred.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE underground

the cars on the Fourth and Madison, the
sixth and Eighth avenue street car lines.
RMS IS the decision reached individually
BY the directors of the Metropolitan
Traction company.
One Of the directors most active in the
search Tor motive power that would be
superior to that furnished by the cable
made this statement to a reporter:
we have had meeting after meeting,
and have received volumes of statements
about traction methods and reports of
experiments The compressed air system
was considered for awhile, but the con
clusiOn was reached that there was too
much danger in storing in a car the force
required to run it.
THE underground trolley is the best
thing that we have found, and the d.
rectors have all agreed upon it. 1t re-
mains only for US to take formal action
Tuesday
THE underground trolley has had a
thorough testing in Lenox avenue. 1t
works splendidly- Heavy SHOWS have had
little effect on it. OF course there have
been times when it has got out of order,
but the trouble in nine cases out of ten
has been of the ordinary kind-some tri-
