SUDDEN DEATH AT MOJAVE
J. n. ToIfree, the WeIl.Known Hotel
Man, Found Dead
A Report That He Had Committed Sui.

The Inquest Today.

MOJAvE, CAL, Jan. 16.-J. H. Tolfree.
manager of therailroad eating house on
the San joaquin division, was found
dead in bed this morning at Z o'clock.
Dr. Dempsey was called in and after
examination pronounced death by apop-
lexy. Mr. Tolfree retired in usual health
last night about 10 o'clock. He was a
jovial man and had a large circle Of
friends. For several years he has had
charge of eating houses and was brought
before great many people in this way.
He was 4S years of age He leaves q
daughter, Miss Maud Tolfree, who is
here, and a son in New York city. Mrs
Tolfree died last July. The inquest will
be held tomorrow, and the remains will
be inferred in Los Angeles. The date OF
burial has not yet been fixed. Mr.. Toll

the danger the deadly weapon Of the

hawk simply deposits a poison inside
the body of the tarantula, which par
alyzes him. In connection with the poi
son he deposits an egg, which proceeds
to hatch out, and caterpillar is the re-
suit. The young caterpillar feeds on
ready to undertake housekeeping on
his own account. There are two spe-

by the color of their wings. A peculiar

OF the railroad permits.

News of Mr.. ToIfree's sudden death
first reached this city by telegram to
HI. w. Chase, proprietor of the Nadeau
hotel, position that Mr.. Tofree former
ly occupied. The telegram stated that
Mr.. Tolfree had been found dead in his
bed that morning. An enterprising and
imaginative evening newspaper at once
jumped to the conclusion that Mr.. Toll
free had committed suicide, but there is
certainly nothing in any of the reports
so far received to justify such pre-
sumption. Indeed, private advices cor
robcrate the report of the Associated
Press that Mr.. Tolfree died from apop-
lexy.
Mr.. Tolfree was in the city only last
Thursday and seemed in the best of spir-
its. A great friend of his, who had been
in his company most of that day, de-
clared that there was no suspicion of
depression of spirits about Tolfree, and
deprecated the suggestion of suicide in
vehement terms.

INSECT LIFE IN ARIZONA
Many Deadly Creatures That Are the
Terror of the Inhabitants.

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T. Mason of this city
are entertaining this week two distin-
guished naturalists who have made ex-
tensive researches in the western field
The guests are David Bruce, the worlds
greatest entomologist, and DIR. Richard
e. Kunze, physician of New York city,
who has just completed a campaign of
five and half months among the insects
OF Arizona, and Is so greatly charmed
with Colorado that he has decided to
take up his residence in this state. DR..
Kunze talked in most entertaining
manner last evening of his trip through
Arizona and the peculiarities of insect
life in the far southwest.
Arizona, said he, in the course of his
remarks, lis the Eldorado of the ento-
n,ologist. The variety of insect life in
Arizona has for years made The region
a favorite field for students and collec-
tors, but every year new species are
found and new species will be found for
years to come. l began work in Arizona
in the first week of April last, in the
vicinity Of Tucson. During the season
worked every day, for the naturalist
knows no Sunday when he Is in the
field. He must take the insects in their
prime. 1 succeeded in collecting be-
tween 10000 ard $4,000 specimens. 1 could
have collected much larger number in
certain directions but did not want to
90 SO.
THE least number of any one species
collected by me during the summer was
100. l gathered in only 100 of the scor-
pion, centipede and tarantula family"
"Scorpions!" calculated q listener. II
should think they would bite"
The naturalist laughed. "Yes. they
might bite if they had chance, but it
is the business Of the collector not to
give them a chance. You see we are
supplied with all sorts of paraphernalia
for handling the different insects. Never
let an insect seize you. Do the seizing
yourself. Fear is out of the question
We face the music and take the chances.
''The tarantula hawk" said the learn
ed naturalist. "is one of the peculiar lit
tie animals Astounding in Arizona. The
hawk preys upon the tarantula, hence
his name. He Is built for hunting them,
and he does it to perfection. You can
see the hawks crawling along the ground
in search of their prey. They have long
legs and move like lightning when tar

a total of 19,949 patents were issued the
past year. OF these Connecticut came in
fifth In its total number of patents granted,
but 1t was, as 1t has been many times be-
fore, first in the number of patents in pro-

UNIVERSITY. Miss, Nov. 9, 1877

To The Commonwealth;
Dear Sir After consultation with
the executive committee Of the state
board of health. and by its advice, the
University Of Mississippi will begin the
session Of 1897 90 on Monday, NoYem-
Der 18th, 1887, at 8 a. n.
Students with proper health certif-
Gates will be received from oninfected
places only, They should not arrive be
fore the 18th, inst, Others should Ger
respond with the chancellor as to the
steps to be taken in order to make it
safe for them to enter at the earliest
possible date. This last statement APP
plies to students who may desire to en-
ter directly from Hancock, Harrison
and jackson counties, or from Kinds
county outside Of Jackson, Or from
points infected with yellow fever in 9th
er states.
The usual Christmas recess will be
omitted. It is expected that work Will
begin promptly, and that by a reason
able economy Of time the full course
will be accomplished without postpone
mcnt Of the close of the session. Fhe
experience of 1878, when the University
opened on the 22nd Of November shows
that this may be accomplished without
serious difficulty.
Yellow fever has never existed in this
county. Proper quarantine regulations
have been enforced in the town of Ok
ford and on the University grounds
since the prevalence of yellow fever else
where in the state, and the sanitary
conditions here were never better than
at present.
Before the interruption caused by the
existence of the fever all indications
pointed to a most prosperous session and
this is still expected.
Students may count upon having the
full sympathy and hearty cooperation
Of the faculty i'll helping them toaccom-
plish without embarrassment the work
of the session.
Very respectfully,
r. 2. FULTON,
Chancellor.

Painter to tho King,

In 1857 Ramsay succeeded Shack
elton as portrait painter to the court,
an appointment which multiplied
his commissions, especially for pic
lures of royal personages, to an in
ordinate extent, turning his studio
into mere manufactory of por-
traits. Little in these but the head
was executed by himself, and even
the head in course of time fell to
pupils who, like Reimagle the elder,
had caught their masters manner.
The king was in the habit of pre-
senting elaborate full lengths of
himself and queen to all the foreign
ambassadors (two of the first of
these went to the Duke de Nivernais,
at Paris). And Ramsay 8 studio, first

Tho R.xor Shall.

One Of the most curious of the
many remarkable forms Of marine
life is species of mollusk called
the razor shell, which can excavate
holes in solid rocks. This creature
has no English name; its Latin
name is Pholas. It is found in wide
ly separated regions of the earth,
but is most plentiful on the coast Of
the Mediterranean, where limestone
abounds. 1t Is frequently met with
on the coast of Italy, where whole
limestone beaches are honeycombed
with their holes. It is still disput-
ed point among naturalists as to
how this boring is effected. Some
think that the mollusk secretes
some acid which softens the lime
stone, but others think that the
holes are bored by the simple me-
chanical process Of grinding. The
preponderance of opinion appears to
lie with the latter view at present.
yet it is said that no one has yet
been able to catch the Pholas at
work.

Who're . Rainbow Touches the Earth.
In every country in the world
rainbow folklore declares that some
object Of value may be found where
the ends of the beautiful arch touch
the earth. In Suabia the ends are
said to rest on bowls of gold; in
Hungary, that cups of silver will be
found at the spot where they come
in contact with tho earth. In Swift
zerland it is said that a shoe cast
over the rainbow will come to the
ground on the other side filled to
overfowing with gold. In Bosnia it
is said that if iron or other base
metal happen to be at the spot
where the bow touches the ground,
it will be instantly transformed to
pure gold. In many parts of Ger
many, Poland, Russia, Belgium and
Holland it is said to be golden key
that may be found at "the end of
the bow" In Portugal and Spain
they speak Of the "silver hen" hav.
ing her nest where the bow rests,
and in Norway it comes to the
ground at a spot where golden
bowl and a silver spoon are hidden.
In many of the chief European
countries it is said that water touch
ed by the rainbow will cure fits and
insanity.--St. Louis Republic.

Italy's Leaning Towers.

Most cleaners of the wonderful
consider the leaning tower of Pisa
to be something unique in archi-

for there are two others in Italy and
several in other European cities.
The two at Bologna are the most re.
markable. One of them is 321 feet
in height and leans over 81 feet
from the perpendicular, and the
other is 1e1 feet high and has "a
lean" of over 8 feet. The Oldest of
these two remarkable structures

carried out complete system Of

fortresses, the earthworks became a
wall, and the whole mighty fortifca-
ton turned away from the Danube
river. Between Belgrade and the

A Clairvoyant Tells How Easy 1t IL y
Gull the Public.
A prominent clairvoyant in q
burst of confidence gave to report
er many points concerning clairvoy-
ance as she practiced it that may
prove interesting to the public.
1t is the easiest thing in the
world to fool woman, she Said.
Women do not reason. They are
much more suspicious than men,
but when once their confidence has
been gained you can make them be-
heve the moon Is made of green
cheese.
THE whole problem is in gaining
the VISITORS confidence. If can
make her believe in me, she is gone.
Usually it is not very difficult job
to do that. Probably one-half of
the women who call to consult me
are actuated by no other motive
than idle curiosity. Such women
never come back the second time;
so I know that I can get only one
fee from them anyway. 1 exact
payment in advance, and after that
it doesn't make very much differ
ence to me what I tell them.
But occasionally a woman comes
in who has money and means bust
ness. If I please her, she will come
again and again, making my pock-
etbook heavier each time. That is
the woman I am after, of course,
and my first work is to impress her
with my honesty. do not know

with start. I am very sorry l
remark, but the electrical and mag
netic conditions today are very bad.
The atmosphere seems to be sur.
charged with electricity, and 1t
greatly interferes with my work.
However, l will try again in few
minutes. After a short interval
of conversation again go into a
trance. This also proves ineffective,
and I hand the callers money back,
saying that I am very sorry that
she came at such an inopportune
time and assuring her that the con.
ditions do not interfere with my sit.

year. Will she call again tomorrow

sincerity and promises to come back.

ever she may go. When he returns,
he has the woman s residence mum
Der. From this it is an easy matter
to identify her, and a few inquiries
in the neighborhood-at the nearest
grocery, perhaps-are sufficient to
give me all the information need.
Very often as soon as find out who
my visitor is know something
about her which will give me clew
to what she wants to know.
