HIGH JINKs OVER HOEBER.
The New York German Coroner De-
tends Himself.

Was Coroner Hoeher a proud and
happy man last night? He said he was
and he looked il, every inch. 1t was at
the Hotel Savoy, says the New YORK
Tribune that he said and looked IL. for
more than 100 OF his friends and admirers
gave a dinner there in his honor. and the
little Dutch coroner" as he delights 10
cab himself, was euiogized and wined and
had his health drunk until his size visibly
increased. The gathering was mostly
German as 10 nationality, but there
was present a number of men who have
been prominently before the city in one
or another capacity. and they all drank
the health of the coroner as deeply as
was seemly. and they cried "Hoch.
coroner with all their might and with
all their voices.
Henry s. Stark set the oratorical ball
a-roling saying that. although Coroner
Hoeser had been cartooned and lampoor-
cd by an uncharitable press. he had
horne II all with q patience that must
have reminded many a reporter and
editor OF the long-suTering Job. When
you have i man" said he. that per
sjstcntly delies the press. you have g.
rara avis. The coroner has won the re-
speet Of all who love honesty OF purpose,
end many of those who came 10 scon re-
manned 10 pray" Then every man arose
oner. singing. "Hoch. Coroner Hoeber!"
In true German student fashion.
The coroner was v!sibly embarrassed.
