OGDEN GOBLET DEAD.
Passes Away at Cowes on Board
His Yacht MayHoweP.

COWES isle of Wight, Aug. 81
Ogden Goelet Of New York is dead. He
expired on board his yacht, the May
flower. The deceased had been i'll for
about two months.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Ogden Goelet,
who was one of two sons of the late
Robert Goelet and a grandson of the
late Peter Goelet, was with his wife,
very prominent in the society of New
York, London and Paris. The Goelet
estate is one of the most valuable in
New York, due to the increased value
of the old-time Goelet farm. The lat
ter originally ran from that section Of
the city, where the Windsor Hotel
stands to the East River. The pos
sessions Of the Goelets include many
other valuable pieces of real estate. for
Instance, the land on which Sherry 5
establishment stands, and the land on
which the Imperial Hotel is built.

The committee to which was referred
a resolution inviting the International
Law Association to meet at the same
time and place with the American Bar
Association in 1898 made a favorable
report, and the resolution was adopted.
An effort will be made to make the '9S
meeting of those two great bodies Of
learned men an event in the history
of the country. President Mckinley
will be urged to speak before a joint
assembly of the two associations. The

THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT IN
TERFERE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Severa1
complaints have reached the Treasury
Department recently that large num-
bers sof men bound for the Klondike
country, but without provisions or
money. are now being landed at ST.
Michaels, Alaska. None of the regular
lines of steamers, it is said, will book
parties for the Klondike who are not
provided with a sufficient amount Of
provisions and money to maintain
themselves for a reasonable time with
out danger Of suffering. Some Of the
tramp lines of steamers, however, are
said to ship anyone who can pay for
his passage, without regard to the flu
ture. The result is said to be that a
considerable number of people are ac-
cumulating in the vicinity Of st. Mi
chaels who already are becoming de-
pendent upon the charity of others for
their food. This unexpected situation,
it is feared, will lead to trouble before
the winter is over, and the Treasury
Department has been asked to inter
fere % prevent vessels from taking to
Alaska persons not properly provided
with subsistence. No way of eXercis
ing any Federal authority in the prem
ises has yet been discovered, and it is
altogether unlikely that in the absence
of action on the part of the States
whence the vessels sail any restraint
whatever can be exercised.
TO SURVEY A ROUTE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The Coast

Augustus F. Rodgers, in charge of the

WONDERFUL LIGHT,
New Invention of Hiram Maxim
the American Scientist.

LONDON. Aug. pa wonderful
new light has just been invented by
Hiram Maxim, the American scientist,
now living in England, and inventor
of the Maxim gun. 1t is an electric
light of three times the candle power
of ordinary incandescent light. 1t lasts
more than twice as long, and requires
less than half the energy. Unlike the
lights now in use, the film is made of a
mineral instead of vegetable sub
stance, the nature Of which is secret.
The result is light of intense bril-
lfancy, without any red rays. The bulb
is of ordinary size.

DOCTORS AND SUICIDE.
Statistics Show Peculiar Bond of Sym.

Statistics Show Peculiar Bond of Sym
pathy lsctween the Two.
During tho last three years, says Tho
Medical and Surgical Reporter of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-fiftieth of all
deaths among physicians have been by,
suicide. This is a conservative estimate,
rs many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overdosing, as the tend
ency is always to hush up suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact remains that
the medical profession is more prone to
suicide than any other. These statistics
may be explained by the development
of morbid fancies in the mind of doc
tor OH account Of his constant assooia-
ton with the sick and dying, or of an
actual indifference to death, or because
he has the requisite knowledge of how
to die conveniently and painlessly.
Poisoning is favorite method, but
it does not appear from statistics that
the cyGnides or morphine have tho pref
erence which would exist if epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
Of drugs. AT the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge of drugs to
son for suicide. But if the mere knowl-
edge of the painlessness of death by GER
tain means is not determining factor
in leading so many physicians to sui
eide, probably the accessibility of poi
Sons is.
Suicide is largely matter of insane
impulse, and such an impulse can often
be ascertained even in tho case of those
who have long been indifferent to life
and have contemplated suicide If u
man must put OH his hat and overcoat,
walk to drug store and tax his inge-
nuity for a lie with which to explain his
desire for poison, he may postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may
meet friend or have his interest in life
aroused by one Of multitude of every
day occurrences or physical exercise may
bring him to his senses. If, as is the
case with almost every doctor, he has
simply to feel i'll his pocket or walk
across his office to get deadly poison,
the impulse may be carried into execu-
ton before anything can happen to sup
plant it in the brain.

Tho White Whales Tail.

Looking at tho white whale ut the
aquarium person not familiar with
water animals might DO mildly aston
ished to see that creature lean outward
when swimming around in circle,
instead of inward. Seeking the cause Of
this, the observer unfamiliar with
whales would discover that tho whales
tail is set not in vertical plano as is
the case of fishes, but in horizontal
plane.
Set horizontally instead of vertically,
the whales tail is Of the very greatest
assistance to it in diving, and especially
i'll rising promptly to the surface, which
it is necessary for it to do at intervals
to fill its lungs with air.
Going over.again to tho wall tanks,
the observer may note again, and this
time with a new interest, that all the
fishes there have tails up and down, in
line with the body, in q vertical plane,
and he learns upon inquiry that all
fishes have tails III vertical plane, and
that all aquatic mammals, Of which the
whale is one, have tails set exactly the
other way, i'll q horizontal plane. New

Curious Erealts of Razors.

The finest grades of razors arc SO del
icato that even the famous Damascus
sword blades cannot equal them in tex
ture. 1t is not generally known that the
grain Of n Swedish razor is so sensitive
that its general direction is changed
after short service
When you buy fine razor, the grains
run from the upper end Of the outer
point i'll diagonal direction toward the
handle. Constant stroppipg will twist
tho steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent use
will drag the grain outward from the
edge, SO that after steady use for several
months the fiber of the steel occupies o
position exactly the reverse of that
which it did Oh tho day of purchase.
The process also affects the temper Of
tho blade, and when the grain sets from
the lower outer points toward the back
you have razor which cannot be kept
in condition oven by tho most conscien-
tious barber.
But here's another curious freak that
will take place i'll the same tool
If you leave the razor alono for a
month or two and take it up, you will
find that the grain has assumed it's first
position. The operation can be repeated
until tho steel is worn through to the
baCk.-Strand Magazine.
