WILL j. MULLocK,
SG5 BEDFORD AVE, BROOKLYN,
DIED HERE
DECEMBER %, 's7.

The subject of the obituary, however, is
far from dead, and with a companion has
arrived in this city on his way to his
Brooklyn home.
In October last, when the hunters rifles
were ringing through the Adirondack
woods Mir. Mullock and DR.. ID. E. Stet-
son, also of Brooklyn, arrived at De Kalb
Junction, with their guns and camp uten-
sils for the deer hunting season.
The day before the season ended, Null
lock started off through the woods for Il
pond about two miles to the eastward,
after a deer. 1t was not a lucky day,
and all he managed TO bring down was a
yearling doe. 1t was sundown before he
had the carcass dressed and in shape to
pack back TO the camp. Mullock
tramped along until. in descending the
side of a ledge, he caught his toe under
a root and fell headlong, deer gun and
all, bringing up against Il rock at the
bottom of the hill. Attempting to rise,
he found that his right leg was apparent
ly broken between the ankle and knee.
which caused him the keenest pain. How
ever, he dragged himself along and final
ly reached the cabin.
1t was fortunate that Mullock's. com
panion was physician, for the smaller
bone of the leg was fractured few
inches above the ankle. DR.. Stetson set
the bone.
When provisions ran short DR. Stetson
left his patient alone while he went to
Cranberry Lake. twenty miles away, re-
turning the next day with supplies This
was repeated as occasion required. and on
December p Mullock was able 10 hobble
around without crutch. DR.. Stetson left
him alone on that day and struck out on
the De kalb Junction trail in order to
send out Christmas messages, again leaF-
ing Mullock alone.
The next day a blizzard struck through
the woods, and when Stetson got back on
Christmas night snow was drifted against
the cabin door, the fireplace was cold and
banked with snow. Mullock's gun hung
ON its peg but not a trace could be found
of him. The doctor began firing his rifle.
ing on his hands and knees out of the
than before. The broken leg was frac-
tured again and the foot badly sprained
and swollen.
A few hours after Stetson had left the
camp Mullock had taken an axe and
started out in the forest to scare up
beaver, and in trying To get back got lost
again. AS he was clambernE over
slash of fallen timber his leg caught fast
between two logs and he was obliged to
cut away his shoe in order TO release
himself All night he had lain out in the
storm, perishing with pain and cold. and
then il was that he cut the epitaph in
the bark of the silver birch,

The Secular League Meeting.

The first address before the Secular
League yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Percy
Parsons was upon Language and Secu-
larism. DIR. w. A. Croffut read poem
entitled "The Point of View" and Mr..
Henry Farquhar gave very scholarly
eIucidation of 1.-The Development of a
Christian Dogma" The dogma in ques-
ton was that of the trinity, and was dis
cussed a philosophical concept. as to
its historical development, and as to its
influence upon the thought of its adher-
ents.
In the discussion which followed Mr..
Maurice Pechin went somewhat beyond
the speaker in criticising this peculiar
doctrine. DR.. Croffut considered the SER
mon on the mount, which Mr.. Farquhar
had referred to, as being very impracti-
cal Mr.. E. A Tibbetts discussed the
trinity as referring to the family ele-
ments of father mother and child. DR..
E Farquhar defended the doctrine as a
matter of philosophy. and Mr.. Godding
defended it from the catholic and reli-
Sious point of view.
Resolutions were adopted as follows:
Resolved, That we indorse the action of
those persons in the State of West Vir-
ginia who have recently petitiOned the
courts TO restrain the authorities from
longer permitting the reading of the Bible
in the public schools.
Resolved, That we fully indorse and ap-
prove the decree of Judge A B. Hagner.
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, forbidding the Treasurer of
the United States from aging out funds
for the erection of a contagious diseases
hospital or ward on grounds belonging to
4 sectarian institution.
Expressions of sympathy were also ex-
tended to the families of those lost and
injured in the Maine horror.
Next Sunday DR.. L. r. Klemm will pre-
sent the prelude on Forms of Belef''
Mr. f. A. Tibbetts will read a poem on

Elroy will deliver an address on 'The

MORTON CADETS BENEFIT.
HaIey's Band Plays for Full House
at the National.

at tue Nat10naI.
In snite of bad weather, competition
and other evils of the box Office, a well
filled house greeted Conductor Haley
when he raped his first signal for atten-
ton on the occasion of the Morton Ca
diets benefit, last night at the National.
The boys are extremely popular here, and
Haley's band is almost equally SO, the
combination proving so strong that the
entertainment soon developed into a con-
tinuous performance, and every number
on the program was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. While varied in nature, the
music given was of heavier order than
is usual in these concerts, most of the
popular selections being played only as
encores.
The opening selection was from Sousa
and 1t was followed by characteristic
overture by Kersson. Both were played
with exquisite finish and no little spirit.
Joseph Hama contributed q cornet solo
that showed him to be master of that in
strument. Weber's brilliant "Freischutz"
was handled in an excellent manner, and
a dainty waltz by Wohanka was enthu-
siastically applauded. SouSa's Bride
Elect was given as an encore
An extra number was put in between
the first and second parts of the pro-
gram, and Mr.. Haley was heartily greeted
Immediately after, when he arose to play
a flute solo. This solo developed into
obligato with variations, these being
contributed in the form of applause from
the audience. Moore's Believe Me il All
Those Endearing Young Charms" was
the number given, and ii was played with
delicacy and feeling. An encore was
demanded, but was not responded to- Af

Il BAD .EXAMPLE.

| Connecticut has had some legislatures
 that have been long, and tiresome in several ways, but Connecticut hasn't 1 had any worse legislature than the one that has been troubling Vermont. The | Vermont legislature ought to have ad- l journed before Thanksgiving, but 1t didn't and the pro!ongation of the ses-
 sion was urged by the Speaker on the
 ground that the worst lobby he had
 ever known at Montpelier was trying | to rush through lot of jobs in the con- fusion of the last day or two before
 Thanksgiving The Montpelier Journal, | the Republican organ at the capital | says that disgrace, shame, humiliation, | righteous wrath, and every emotion | that inexcusable and outrageous pro- ceedings can excite, is felt by every self respecting Vermonter over the general course of the legislature, and it's doings | in particular respecting certain import l ant public interests" One of these do- 1 ings was the refusal by the house to concur with the senate in passing bill l for a referendum on the quest whether the prohibitory law should be
 maintained, such a popular vote being demanded by the larger towns, and op- posed very generally by the representa- | tives from small towns, who admitted | their fear that majority of the people would be found to favor change if they were given a chance to express their opinion.
 When the members of the Connect cut legislature that is to meet next ! month read about the doings of the Vermont legislature they should highly resolve that they will not initiate them. i We don't mean to intimate that there is any real danger that they will initiate them, but a good firm resolution that they will not will do no harm.
