departed but the odor that settled
around the sexton soon told him the
story and he lost no time in making
for his home.

How Instruments OF the pissecting Rooms
Are Kept Sharp.
It is we'll known that In dissecting the
most delicate and finest OF steel instru-

these instruments extremely sharp. The
ordinary coarse stone or strop would ut
terly destroy the delicate blades. 1t Is also
v-ell known that razor can be nicely
finished" on the palm Of the hand. This
fact led to the use OF small crude strops
made of bits of flesh, secured In the dis
secting room. The possibilities of this hu-
man 1esh strop appealed so forcibly to the
practical mind OF one OF the students that
he began experiments, which have resulted
In the introduction very quietly on the
market of razor strop made of human
flesh.
One side OF these strops Is made of black
flesh and the other side of white flesh. The
skin for these strops Is secured in this
way: When students are given parts of the
human body to dissect, the skin Is usually
removed and thrown away This waste
skin Is now In great demand.
The leg skin Is the part most priced, as
10 Is from this that the most desirable
strips of flesh for razor strops are secured.
The epidermis and the dermis are careful

Is then put in a strong solution of arsenic

"A NATIVE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Mayor ofGreater New York Was
Born in Pcndleton-His Family
Lived There n Great Many Years

The municipal election in Greater
New York has been watched with
great deal of interest in South Caro-
lima because one OF the principal can
didates and the one who proved sue
cessful, is q native OF this State. Mr..
Robert A. Van Wyck, the future mayor
OF the great city, will in the coming
days prove an interesting character,
and his friends and acquaintances in
South Carolina will expect him to
measure up to the duties of his high
position, rejecting honor upon his
nativity. A lady in Columb bia, who for
merly lived near the family OF Mr.. Van
Wyck, has given the following reliable
and interesting information to The
State:
Robert Van Wyck, the newly
elected mayor OF Greater New York,
was born in Old Pendleton, S. c., and
spent the early part Of his life there.
He has one brother, Augustus, who is
living in New York Sam, another
brother, was killed early during the
war in the northern part Gf Alabama.
He was a Confederate soldier. His
children live in Anderson, S. G.. The
remaining brother, William died in
New York. His sister is the wife
General Hoke Of North Carolina. The
father of this family was IN New
York. The mother was a daughter Of
Mr.. Sam Maverick, who lived and died
in Pendleton. Mr.. Maverick was the
owner OF more real estate than any
other one man in the State. His pos
sessions lay in South Carolina New
York and Texas.
Zone Of Mr.. Mavericks sons, Angus,
tus, went early to Texas, and was en-
gagged in the war between the Texas
republic and Mexico, and was at one
time made prisoner by the Mex.cans
His home was at San Antonio, where
his descendants still, live. He was as
sociatcd with Crockett and barely es
capped the Massacre at the Alamo. A
bis deatl he owned more land in Texas
than there is in the State of Soutl
Carolina and his cattle were so numer
Gus that 1t was impracticable to branC
them. The no brand was the mari

, AT one time the Van Wyck famil
brought to Pendleton Walter Gibson

} Then he wandered away to one OF tt
Sandwich islands, and eventually De

search was begun at once and it was

his life.
1t Is believed that the murder was
committed by some one who was
familiar with the neighborhood or the

used to lure Mr.. Ballenger to his fate.
The murdered gentleman was about
hity-four years of age. He was
short, slightly built man, and this fact
was also probably known to the mur-
derers. AT first the theory was that
strangers or tramps were the assail-

Ballenger was a cautious business man
and would hardly have been so foolish as
TO go out with utter strangers to the

was secured, but it was hardly over n
hundred dollars. Mr. Ballenger had
some money in his pockets which was
The affair has aroused the greatest
indignation among the neig bors of the
