Anthropometry is fnan-measurement.
II is a modern science. 1t began some
so or 60 years ago with the measure
ment of recruits for the European ar
mics, and within the last two decades,
when our American colleges took up
the study, an exact and complete scien-
tific system has developed. Detailed
measurements of the human body, limb
for limb, organ for organ, are taken,
and the results of these Data, gathered
from thousands and thousands of blI-
man beings, are coInpiled into elab-

Mrs. Emma Johnson, a stranger in

she was suffering from mental de-
rangement. The woman arrived in ST

ing at the different express Offices in
search Of a money order, which she
seemed to think should be waiting for
her She visited the office of Justice
Mills, on Wabasha street, and seemed
loathed to believe that her money was
not delivered to her here. Meeting
Officer Carroll, the woman asked him if
he knew where the expected money
could be found, and officer Carroll di-
rected her to the central police station,
where she was detained until examined
by Dr. Bfimhall.
Mrs. Johnson is twenty-seven years
cid, slight of stature and is light COM
plexioned. She claims to have former
ly lived in Winnipeg, where she says
she has property interests. She is un-
able to explain her visit to st. Paul
beyond stating that she came here to
get some money. Agent Gates, Of the

ties, was informed of the case and will
send the woman back to Brainerd.

DEATH OF III. l.. WILLIAMS.
Former st. Paul Attorney Dies in
Chicago.

A private telegram yesterday after
noon announced the death in Chicago
of former ST. Paul attorney, Henry
L. Williams. No particulars were
given of the sad event, but the message
stated that the body would be brought
here for burial.
Mr.. Williams was about thirty-nine
years Of age and was born and educat-
ed in New York. He came to St. Paul
in 1887 and in August of that year
entered into partnership with James
Schoonmacher, the firm being Williams
& .Schoonmacher. Their law offices
were in the New York Life building
This partnership was dissolved two
years later, but Mr.. Williams remain
ed here until 1892, when he removed to
Chicago, and at the time of his death
was a member of the firm Of Williams
& Linden.
The deceased was active in local poll
tics and was delegate from the Third
ward a t, nearly every Republican con-
Vertion during his residence here He
was an active worker for the nominal
ton of ex-Gov. McGill during the cam
paign of 1892.
Mr.. Williams was married in 1884 to
a young lady in New York, his wife
dying in 1891; it is probably by his wish
that his body will be brought here to
repose by her side, in Oakland ceme-
terry. They had no children So far
as known the only relatives surviving
him are his father and a sister, living
in JohnStown, Pa.

KLoNDYKE BOUNDARY LINE.
Nothing Can BE Done to Fix 1t Until

WASHINGTON. July 31.-Nothing
car he dore mere than has already been
done towards marking the boundary
line between Alaska and the British
possessions along the 141st meridian I'M
til the senate passes upon the boundary

ever, no doubt of the location of the
line along this meridian, and most peO-
pie in the locality know where it is.
The GemarkatiOn work was superin-
tended by Gen. Duffield, superinten-
dent of the coast and geodetic survey
on behalf of the United States. Gen.
Duffield has spent considerable time in
Alaska He expresses the opinion that
a railroad can be easily constructed
from Taku inlet to the Klondyke gold
fields, and believes that the enterprise
will be worth undertaking, because of
the richness Of the mines.
The gold" said Gen. Duffield in dis
GUESSING the question, has been ground
cut of the quartz by the pressure of
the glaciers, which lie and move along
the courses of the streams, eXerting
a tremendous pressure. This force
is present to a more APP
probable extent in Alaska than else
where, and L believe that as a conse-
quence more placer gold will be found
in that region than in any other part
of the world"
Gen. Duffield thinks the gold hunters
on the American side of the line have
made the mistake of prospecting the
large streams instead of the small ones,
when gold is precipitated," he said,
cit sinks. 1t does not float far down
stream. 1t is therefore to be looked
for along the small creeks, and about

as rich finds may not be made on the
American side of the line in the Klon-
dyke district"

WILL PUT HIM AWAY
Young COlOred Boy With the BIZ.
ReVOIVer.

Albert Hawthorne, the coIored bow
arrested last week on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons, was tried
before Judge Orr yesterday for incor-
rlglbll1ty. The case was certified to
the district court in order that Haw-
thorne might be sent to 'the state
school. The boy is a typical specimen
of the Southern negro, and talks with
a dialect scarcely Ineligible. He came
to st. Paul from Tennessee several
months ago. and has lived by doing
ODD jobs about barber shops. One Of
his favorite pastimes has been to ter
rorize the small white" boys with
whom he has played, and, when one of
the latter pointed a Fourth of July
toy pistol at the little darkey several
days ago, he forthwith swore ven
geance, and the next day patrolled the
neighborhood of the white" boys
house with fully-loaded, thirty-eight-
caliber pistol, which he managed in
some way to get hold of.
Usually, in the vicinity where Albert
marched up and down looking for
gore there are crowds of children
playing about the streets and in their
lawns. but on this day child could
not be found in the whole block with
a bundle of Xzrays. When Albert was
in an amiable' mood, the little white
folks liked to listen to his queer talk
and watch his gratified, grin as they
gazed in open-mouthedv wonderment
while he told of his long journey from
the South to st. Paul, but it had gone
abroad that Albert was out to wreak
a bloody vengeance on the boy who
had playfully pointed, the toy pistol
at him and only the occasional shak-
ing Of drawn curtain before some
window betokened the juvenile life Of
the neighborhood. Behind locked doors
and barred windows the colored boys
playmates trembled in fear, hardly
daring at times to- peek" from behind
the curtains at the darkey's diminutive
figure pacing up and down before their
homes. Albert owned the street. His
tenure, however, was not of long du-
ration, as Officer Goven was notified
of the negro's patrol and landed him
at the central police station. Since
Albert fell into the hands of the au-
thorities there is a much more secure
feeling among the little ones in the
vicinity of the capitol
