AN INDEPENDENT LORD.
Beresford Causes CONSERVATION in
English Society By Satir Ring the
Power of Money Over It.

London, Dec. 14.-Lord Charles Ber-
esford has caused an unpleasant SEN
sation in the highest social circles of
England by a enthusiastically cou-
rageous denunciation of society s
worship of wealth.
Speaking of the Vagabond club an
nual dinner, as the guest of the even
ing he declared:
Money is everything now among US.
Money will buy access to what is
known as the very best society. Let
anybody come to England with enough
money, no matter whether it has been
gained honorabIy or disgracefully, and
there is no door which he cannot hope
to enter
In the old days it was not so, but
money is destroying our old pride and
our old chivalry. When a man in the
best society commits a dishonora BILE
act-indeed,a crime-that society bands
itself together to screen him instead of
hanging him to a tree and casting his
body into the ditch
Lord Charles prophesied the ruin of
the empire unless the domination of
money can be overthrown.
The allusion to Lord William Ne
ville's swindling of young spender Clay
is not more pointed than to the Prince
of Wales Partially for the ''nouveaux
riches" and both are bitterly resented
by smart society; but Lord Charles is
no respecter of persons in such matters

Stolen From a Medical College "a
Wers "Swiped."

Pittsburg, Dec. 14.-Twenty-four hu-
man heads have been stolen from the
Western Pennsylvania Medical college
two or three heads missing today when
the time came for the demonstration in
dissection.
The work of the present term began
about a month ago. The demonstra tor,
DIR. Ellis S. Montgomery, assigned the
parts" of the bodies to the first, sec
ond and third year men in the school.
It has been customary to put six stu
dents at work dissecting one body. The
man who was assigned to the work on
the head was the one to suffer
Just about the time he had it in ex-
cellent shape to study under the knife
he would enter the dissecting room the
next morning only to find the head
gone.
1t was a common thing to hear the
expression:
.'WeT, my head was swiped last
night
This stealing gave the demonstration
as well as the students, trouble. Dr.
Montgomery had nothing for a practi-
cal examination on the work of the
student. When the student lost his
head he lost the time he had expended
in study and work on it. Some of the
students, rather than lose their heads,
saw off the top of them.
No one usually desires a skull that
is thus mutilated. They want skull
that can be subjected to boiling, and
come out nice and white, and be used
for studying the bone formation, and
later for a. tobacco box case or similar
receptacle.

HEADsTRONG TEACHERS.
Refuse to Use the Books Provided by
Law.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 1.-THE right
of the state to enforce the law requiring
the use in the public schools of text books
recently contracted for and prescribed by
the several county boards under the act
passed last winter is likely to go into the
courts for adjudication.
Seth Thomas, a school teacher in Mason
county, is using Rand & NIcNally's geog-
raphies, instead of AIitchelrs, contracted
for by the county board, and in Morgan
county George H. AIlemong, a teacher, is
using Harvey's grammaIs, published by
the American Book company, instead of
Hyde's language lessons, published by D.
c. Heath & Co., the latter having been
adopted by the county board.
State Superintendent Trotter has noti-
fed these teachers that they must cease
using books contrary to law, but, it is
said, whether they obey the state superin>
tendent or not, the book concerns inter-
ested will carry the matter to the courts
for adjustment.
