DEVELOPMENT OF BRAIN
Prof. Garfunkle Lectures Before
a Hebrew Audience.
EDUCATION IS'lA NECESSITY
Great Need for. the Cultivation
of the Brain in Women as Well
as Men-Unless Care Is Taken
in This Respect Country Will
RetrOgrade.

Prof. j. V. Garfunkle of Cincinnati lee
tured to fair-sized audience last evening
nthevestryroomofth lie Washington Hebrew
Congregation on "Phrenology"
The lecturer-was introduced in very com
plmentary terms by the Rev. l.. Stern, pas
tor OF the congregation, who said that Prof.
Garfunkle came well recommended by
several prominent citizens of Baltimore.
The subject, without the customary ex-
aIninatons and tests of the head, is usually
very dry, but in his treatment of it last
evening Prof. Garfunkle made it exceed
ingly interesting and Instructive to his
audience. He discussed it entirely from
scientific standI ont arguing that the brain
or intellectual machinery of all men and
women was capable of the highest attain
ments.
The human brain is divided into two
parts, the front, or cerebr um, the seat of
the intellect, and the back, or cerebelluin,
the location OF physical power. And while
the latter Is directly connected with the
spinal column they both act together
The brain, he said, is the home of all
our faculties, thirty five or more, and ac-
cording as they predornnate are made
known by an increased growth. 1t is this
'iitlSdSCC EIONlu WHICH tdiSCb tilt pIb-
tuberances, or "bumps,'' noticeable on
the scalp of the head ofmen nd women.
The purpose of the lecturer was not to
| magnify simple into marvellous things, but
to explain the theory OF phrenology, and
how it is applied and ma de advantageous
TO mankind. Since the science has been
| understood it is no longer a problem how
to systematic our thoughts, or to use to
advartag ge any one OF our many faculties.
Since the power OF the brain rules the
| world there is, Prof Garfunkle said, as
| great need for the cultivation OF 1t in
| women as men. This, however, could not
he accomplished without an equal cduca
| ton and training Of the sexes Our men
| and women must have normally well de
yeloped brains, otherwise the country will
| retrograde.
| Poor brain will, he said, like weeds, grow
| in barren soil, but as it takes cultivation to
make good vegetables, so 1T requires edu-
| cation to produce fertile BRAIN

Cole of n North street an employe at the
European House, was missing since Friday
night. There was no sign OF life around the
house. So Police Capt Millhouse and
b. T. Picknor broke open window this
morning and entered the building.
They found Mrs. Cole partially sitting
on the edge of her bed unconscious and
with a deep cash three inches long over
her left ear.
It was thought at first thatshe was under
the Influence of a drug, but closer ex-
animation later showed that her skull was
broken. Her condition is preCarious.
In the doorway of her room was the
corpse of Abraham Ernestus, who boarded
with her. He had hanged himself with a
hempen cord tied to a nail in the door
way. The nail had pulled out and when
the body was found it was in a sitting
posture on the floor.
Mrs. Cole is thirty years old, and was
separated from her husband. Ernestus
was forty-fiv years old, and married, but
he, too, had left his family. He had been
employed at the Natchaug Silk Company
but had been out of work for several
months.
1t is supposed that Ernestus first struck

then committed suicide

JUDGE PAYNE'S OPINION.
He Touched on Certain Phases of
Litigation in Chicago.

Chicago. H.. Jan. TN an opinion touch.
ing certain phases OF the litigation in the
matter of receivers for the International
Building, Loan anu Investment Union, Judge
Payne last Saturday made the charge that
there is IN Chicago conspiracy to wreck
building and loan associations.
Judge Hancey last Wednesday appointed
two temporary receivers for the associa-
tion--a corporation which Judge Payne be-
lievcS TO bc perfectly solvent, save for the
attacks made upon it. Tie concern has
done banking for about , 800 people to the
extent of $500, 600, ana the suit is but one
of many pending in the Chicago courts.
The case first came under the notice OF
Judge Payne some days ago, when he de-
clined 10 appoint receivers because they
Were too costly, and named board of di-
rectoTs 10 take charge of the affairs The
old board considered itself III power and
declined to recognize the new one. Judge
Payne said the two receivers had been ap-
pointed ''ill-advisedly, and without fun
knowledge OF the SITUATION" and i'll en-
phasizing his point, said:
There seerns 10 be in this city an organ
lied effort 10 destroy building associations,
to get IoceIvers'.ips Tor building associa-
tions, and, having got them, TO have the as
sets OF the association sold. purchased by
the directors, and a fortune made by people
who grow fat upon the savings Of the
poor''
lit has come to me that bills will be filed
in the name of some unsuspecting stock
holders, who will ask for q receiver
against a perfectly solvent association;
other bills viii follow, and such a clamor
will result tnat the stockholders will con-
clude thatthe aSSociationmust beinsolvent,
and they will fly to the very people who
are eudeavoring to destroy thcm.''
Judge Payne then indorSed his action of
a week go, and named three men to serve
as board of directors, without compensa-
ton. The actionis construed by many as
rebuke to Judge Haney.

Berlin, Jan. 4.-The emperor, upon New
Years day, communicated to the command
ing officers of army corps a decree ex-
pressing his desire that hasty duels among
officers, growing out OF passion, shall
cease. Hereafter, the emperor says, Off
GERS must report the cause of the differ
ence or differences leading to duel to a
council of honor, and await the decision
of such council before proceeding further,
instead of taking independent steps to a
duel.
