OF OLD PILGRIM STOCK.
Death OF DIR. =. III. Jackson-Mother

school for many years. and led in the strug-
gle for recognition Of women physicians.
Leaving Plymouth when a lad he came to
Boston, where he lived until he went to Gin
cinnati to take up his medical studies at the
Putte Medical college. After gradu-
alton he returned to Boston. DR..
Jacksons interests extended far beyond
his professional field. He was connected
prominently with mary fraternal organiza-
tions. One of the founders of the Grand
Council of the American Legion of Honor,
he served first as grand trustee, aud in 1882
was elected grand secretary, and had almost
completed his fifteenth year of service in
that capacity. He was thirty-secOnd

CRITICISM NOT WANTED.
Author Submits Book for Review
Now Wants Damages.

NEW YORK, March DIR. Stephen FL.
Emmens. a metalluryist, wrote Il book in
which he assailed the Newtonian theory of
gravitation. which has been generally ac-
cepted since the days when young Newton
saw the apple drop. The book was designed
to show that certain current teachings
with regard to the lunar theory. the
figure of the earth and the cooling of
the earths crust were radically wrong.
Science, monthly magazine, attacked it
savagely. Now the author has sued for S50,-
900 damages. The sentence to which par
ticular objection is taken is this The au-
thor of this screed on gravitaton demon
strates concusyely, first, that he does not
understand the fundamental concept of New
tons law ; second. that he does not know
enough of elementary mathematics to apply
the law to the single case of the homogene-
Gus sphere. He illustrates well the colossal
impudence of p5eudo-scientists, whose
equipment consists of formal logic and Il
facile pen"
This lawsuit" says DR.. Emmens, Twill be
the greatest of the century. The whole mat
ter of this question of gravitation will be en-
tered into, and those who have SO wantonly
attacked me will have to prove that | am
wrong. If they fail to do so they must take
the consequences. think that the case will
eventually prove of the greatest benefit to
science.

BOSTON, Mass, March 2-The members
of the Boston branch of the Granite Cutters
union have gone out on strike. In 1892,
after protracted strike, they and their en-
pioyers, through the intercession Of the
state board of arbitration, entered into an
agreement concerning the hours of labor
and wages. Ever since that time the agree
ment has been recognized and accepted by
the union and the Granite manufacture
ers' association OF Boston. The agree
ment has now run out by time lin
itation. The representatives of the union
stated that the stipulation in the old agree
ment making 81 cents an hour the
pay for competent men was so construed
as to make these figures the maximum
wages. and it was desired that 81 cents
should constitute the minimum rate of pay.
One of the articles in the agreement of 1892
specified that there should be no discrimina-
tion against union and non-union men. 1t
was requested that this clause should be
abolished and the agreement made that none
but union men shall be employed.

The latest discovery, or rather the
latest theory, in science is that of brain
waves. So, at least, it is described in
the Presidential address delivered in
London, to the British Society for
Psyohlcal Research by Professor Will
lam Crookes. He entered, before
launching his theory, upon an elabor-
ate calculation as to vibrations which
produce sound and light. Then he
applied a similar theory to the subject
of thought transference, and sug-
gested that it was quite conceivable
that intense thought concentrated by
one person upon another with whom
he is in close sympathy should induce
a telegraphic chain along which brain
waves should go straight to their goal
without loss of energy due to dis,
tance. Such speculation was, he ad'
mitted, new and strange to science.

CUBAN MATTERS.
Weyler'S Resignation Forward
ed to Spain.
Sanquilly's Release the Cause-AI.
ger Says War Not Wanted.

HAVANA, Cuba, via Tampa, Fla, March .
Captain-General Weyler has forwarded his
resignation To the Spanish government at
Madrid. He will leave the island as soon as
possible, probably in about three weeks.
This decisive step he determined To take. as
soon as he heard Of the release of Julio
Sangullly. The captain-general had fire.
quently said that he would resign if the
crown should interfere with his policy in
regard to prisoners, especially Americans.
and he was incensed beyond measure at be-
ing ignored in the negotiations carried on
by the Spanish government in the case Of 50
notable captive as Sanguilly. 1t is report
ed that General Ruman BlancO v Arenas,
the Marquis of Pena Plata. may be appoint
ed TO succeed General Weyler. General
Blanco was until recently the foremost repre-
sentative of Spain in the Philippine Islands.
He was in Manila when the revolt started
In the country, and at once took active
measures to suppress the outbreak.
His coolness and discretion gained
him merited praise. and his coun-
sci seemed to be sanctioned by the Spanish
government He is a man who knows how
to veil his purposes in his campaigns, and,
though he is credited with being as severe
at times as General Weyler himself. he does
not bear such an nuncompromisng attitude in
outward appearances.

HALF CENTURY'S SERVICE.
Lowell School Teacher to Resign
Taught Three Generations.

LOWELL, Mass, March 2-Martha A.
Neal has nearly completed 80 years service
in the public schools of this city. Last week
she gave notice that she would not be a can
didate for reelection ut the close Of the sum
mer term. In 1872 Mayor J. &. Peabody. in
recognition of Miss Meals % years continu-
Gus service, arranged Il reunion in the ward
room. Seven of her first pupils were among
those present. On that occasion she was
showered with gifts, among which was Il
purse of 300.
Miss Neal has taught three generations in
one family and nearly $1,000 pupils have
been under her care. She was born in CO.
hasset in 1881 and her parents removed to
Waltham when she was an infant In 1884
they removed to Lowell. Her ancestors as
sisted in starting the machinery in the Mer

BERLIN, March 2-Germany and Russia
are working together in complete harmony
on the Cretan question. The work of the
two governments has no other tendency
than that of maintaining the peace. The
governments at Berlin and st. Petersburg
had information that England encouraged
Greece secretly and melted her to further
resistance of the powers. The Ger
man blockade proposal was intended
to test the honesty of English poll
ties. and when Lord Salisbury rejected
the blockade or gave an evasive answer this
was considered proof of England's duplic-
ity. However this may be, the entente cor
dials of Germany and Russia is un fait ac-
compli, and will perhaps cause a new group
ing of European powers. Displeasure in
Paris, where the government has already
suffered many disilIusons, is rapidly in
creasing, since Russian friendship has been
very expensive hitherto without bringing
any direct advantages.

KEY WEST, Fla. March 2--The an
nOuncement that General Julio Sanguilly,
eX-bandt, American citizen by naturaliza-
tion papers procured by perjury. and the
scOundrel, who is made the preteXt for pos
sibly plunging two nations into war
was to arrive on the steamer from
Havana, drew an immense crowd of his
countrymen to the wharf to greet him.
AS the steamer neared the wharf, the
well known figure of the general was
recognized and n shout of welcome was
waited across the water, which was ac-
knowledged by wave of the hand. the
raising Of hats and hurrahs from the cOterie
of friends surrounding him. General San
gully, who is Il cripple from wound re-
ceived in former revolution, was lifted
bodily on the shoulders of his friends and
conveyed to a carriage. In reply to request
for speech, he said he was too fatigued but
thanked his countrymen for the hearty well
come accorded, which he did not take for
himself. but as an evidence for loyalty to the
cause dear to the heart Of every Cuban.

CYCLING NOTES,

The bicycle is coming into use in Scotland
| as means OF conveyance 10 the football
matches.
The magnitude Of the bicycle industry al
the present lime is scarcely realized by those
outside the trade.
An English contemporary predicts that
more than 100000 medium aud high-grade
bicycles will be turned out by the factories
in 1897.
The statistician who asserts that the total
weekly mileage OF all the bicycle riders In
the world is 800, 0O0, 900 miles is not likely TO
be contradicted.
The bicycle dealers of st. Louis No., are
planning the formation of a bicvcle arcade
Several firms have already hired buildings
in the selected location.
The New Jersey State Fair managers are
talking over the accessibility OF having BIZ
cycle tack at Waverly, which is TO be in
readiness this season. 1t is not intended to
build new track. but to harden the old one
and make it suitable for cycle racing.
Cycl ng is increasing rapidly in Paris. The
Touring Club de France has now been six
years in existence, and while in 1895 it num-
berad 25,O0O members, it has increased to AZ, :
900, and it is confidently predicted that be-
fore the exhibition is opened it will attain
the high figure of 100000
Lady bcyclists have begun to utilize their
bicycles for ornamental purposes. When n
bicycle has had Its day it is dismembered,
limb from limb, and the parts hung up on
the drawing room wall. On nails that once
supported china brackets, over doors where
fans held position, all the remains of the old
cycles are displayed to view.
A patent has been applied for on a tan
dem attachment to Il single wheel. The sin
gle wheel is converted into "A tandem by at =
taching an adjustable frame to the seat post
and the rear fork ends. Two small sprock-
cts one affixed to the crank axle and an
other to the rear crank axle, are connected
by extra chain, transmitting the power fur
nlshed by the rear rider.
Baltimore, (Md.) wheelmen have gone to
the courts to test the rights Of the toll roads
to collect fee when the roads are in poor
condition. The charters OF the roads pro-
vide that unless the roads are kept in good
condition for traffic no toll may be collect
ed The wheelmen will urge that as the
Reestertown pike is not 1t for cycling the
company should b. instructed by the court
TO collect no further toll from wheelmen
until the roai is repaired.
What promises to be one Of the best bicy-
Gle paths in the country is expected to be
constructed between st. Paul, MINI, and
the Interstate Park at Taylor's Falls. The
path would be about fifty miles in length,
and would pass through ten townships, three
counties and skirt fifteen lakes. The path
would be one of the most picturesque in the
country and would not be obstructed by
steep grales. The promoters of the path
say that $4,000 would complete the path,
and 1t is expected that the three counties
will donate the amount

An astonishing state of affairs exists
in the grain trade at Baltimore, says
the New York Mail and Express. The
elevators are full to overhowing,
large quantities of corn have been
kept in cars so long that it has spoiled,
and there are not nearly enough ves-
sells available to carry the grain to
Europe. This unbusiness-like condi-
tion is due to the folly of sending
more grain to Baltimore than her ia
cilities could accommodate, and it
has taught lesson that will not soon
be forgotten. Moreover, it has served
to illustrate how largely American
commerce depends upon foreign YES
sells for carrying service. and it sharp
ly emphasizes the necessity for an i'm
mediate rehabilitation of our merchant
marine.
