1t Is possible. said a wel-known dentist for
a medical man To tell moro of the disposition and
constitution of a person by the teeth than by
any other part of the body.
The first thing that an army doctor does
when a man is brought up for enlistment is IN
look at his teeth. IL they show any signs of de-
cay. il is evident that the mans constitution is
delicate. and his services a soldier are imme-
diately declined. even though he be in every
other respect perfect specimen of manhood If
the teeth showed but little signs OF decay, the
man would he eligible for English service but
for foreign service perfectly useless. Men with
irregular teeth-teeth uneven and imperfect-are
declined by medical men where there are ar
duouS duties to perform Ii is said TO he a sign
of bodily weakness.
Another popularity noticeable in many per-
sons is a spotted tooth. This is a tooth covered
with dark specks, and is usually found among
persons OF weak intellect: il is. in fact a sign OF
insanity. Large teeth show braininess more

NEW YORK, May 1O-It was a gruesome

early today. Thirteen dead bodies, black
ened by fire and smoke. were lying in the

| passed through an awful ordeal Nobody was
| allowed to either leave or board the steamer
until after the coroner had arrived to view
the bodies and give permission for their re-
moval. Coroner Hoeber arrived about 2:20
this morning at the pier, and found Charles
H. Mallory, one of the owners OF the vessel,
in conversation with Capt. Wilder in the
latter's cabin. Accompanied by Mr.. Mallory
and the captain. Coroner Hoeber went to the
Storage and viewed the charred bodies. Then
coroner told Capt. Wilder that, as matter
of form, he would be compelled to have him
placed under arrest. He was Immediately
paroled in the custody Of Mr. Mallory, who
was instructed to produce the captain when
the inquest is held.
At $50 o'clock this morning two dead
wagons drove on the pier and passed aboard
the steamer twelve pine boxes in which the
bodies of the victims were to be removed. The
members Of the crew refused to touch the
bodies and the work had to be performed by
the wagon attendants. The thirteen bodies
were placed in nine of the pine boxes, some
of the bodies being those of children and
others charred and burnt to about half their
natural size. The bodies were taken to the

simply took care of themselves and left us
to our fate. A great many lives might have
been saved IL the crew had done anything

Along shore today it was thought strange
that the fire was not discovered earlier. It
must have been smouldering several days, and

Another Indian Implicated in the
Spicer Murders.

Spicer Murders.
BISMARCK, n. D., May 10.-Au-
thorities now claim to have positive
evidence that Cadotte, Blackhawk and
an Indian named Defender, as well as
Holy Track and Standing Bear, were
implicated in the Spicer murder at
Minarer. Defender, the last suspect.
is under arrest at Fort Yates. The
officers state that Blackhawk was not
present when the murders were COM
mitted, but was the instigator of the
whole affair; that Cadotte, Holy Track
and Standing Bear actually committed
the deed. Just what part Defender
took the officials refuse to make pub
lie at present.
A visit to the Jail this morning found
Holy Track and Bear asleep in their
cages. and it required considerable
effort on the part of the sheriff to
arouse them They do not appear to
realize their position nor the enormity
of their crime, and express no con-
Germ over the outcome Of their trial.
They are older than first reported,
Track being twenty-five and Bear
twenty-five. They will be confined
here until June l, the date Of their
trial.
William Rouse, whose wife and ba-
bies were murdered, has been swear
ing that he will kill the self-confessed
murderers on sight, and has been on
the lockout for the officers with their
prisoners. He was at his ranch yes
terday on the Cannon Ball river, when
the officers and prisoners passed, but
failed to discover the proximity Of the
slayers of his family.

Mott Rigid Enough att Present to
Please the Roads.
CHICAGO, May 10.-The executive
officers Of the Western roads met TO-
day for the purpose of demonstrating
the agreement of the Western Joint
Traffic association. At the thine the
present agreement was adopted all
the roads were in a state Of panic
over the decision of the supreme court,
which had just been handed down. and
the result was that they adopted an
agreement that has fallen very far
short Of doing what it was intended it
should do. Now, however, the railroad
men have secured their nerve once
more, and the chances are that an
agreement will be adopted which will
be much more effective in the main
tenance of rates than the agreement
that has been in effect since the LIST
of April.
The rates to the convention Of Chris
tan Endeavors, at San Francisco,
have been finally settled All the roads
which were not represented at the
meeting held in this city last week
have recorded their votes in the affirm
alive. and the decision which was de-
clared provisional at the close IF the
meeting is now said to be in full eff
feet. The plan provides that one way
rates shall be made in both directions,
the rate from Chicago being $25 and
the rate from st. Louis $23.50 West
bound rates will be made through the
st. Paul gateway, but returning the rate
will be so one way. No stop-overs

No Injunction ON the Regents.

PIERRE, S. D., May 1O.-The supreme court
handed down decisions in two cases of gen.
eral interest One was by Fuller, being that
of H. w. Sawyer VS.. H. E. Mathew, in which
a writ of mandamus, asked for, is denied.
This is the case where Sawyer as secretary
of the railroad commission, sought to obtain
a warrant without complying with ruling Of
the auditor, demanding receipts for all ex-
penditures before voucher would ISSUE and
in which the ruling of the auditor is sustained.
The other case is by Haney, and is what is
known as the regency case" in which the old
strain the new board, appointed by Gov. Lee,
from acting. The injunction asked for is
denied. An attempt made to raise the
question of the validity of the constitutional
amendment in this case, but it is not passed
on by the court the application for an in
junction a.one being the base of the de-
ciston.
