his third daughter, the Countess Laueh-
ems, was on her way to Dedham.
The remains will be conveyed to Del
aware and the funeral service will be
held Saturday in the old Swedish
church at Wilmington. Mr.. Bayard
became the guest of his daughter about
the middle of August. He was sick,
but it was given out that his illness
was merely due to declining years. He
steadily grew weaker, however, and
had spells of
Semi Cons ciousness and Delirium.
A consultation Of physicians was held
and they agreed that Mr.. Bayard was
suffering from artorie. .colorisis and a
general breaking down incidental to
age. He suffered no pain to any no.
ticeable degree and the chief tendency
was to sleep. During the first few
weeks of his illness Mr.. Bayard was
able to sit up, but as the days passed
he became gradually weaker and three
weeks ago he laid himself on his bed
and never again rose from it. At
times he would rally to some extent,
but the relapse carried him always
nearer the end. His wonderful consti-
tuition resisted the ravages of disease
for a surprising period. Much of the
time he was in a semi.conscious condi-
ton, seldom recognizing any of the
family, and at intervals having sink
ing spells accompanied by choking.
These left him always weaker.

Begins the Study of Law.

At the age of 10 his elder brother died
and he was recalled to Delaware and be-
gan the study of law. In 1851, when he
was but 23 years old, he was admitted to
the bar and soon built. up good and ex
tensive practice. Two years afterward he
was appointed United States district at
torney for Delaware, but resigned the
next year In 1866 he went to Philadel-
phia and became law partner of Will
lam Shippen, but in 1867 he returned to
his practice in Wilmington where he
continued in the law till 1868, when he
was elected to the United States senate
1t must not be understood that during
all these years Mr. Bayard had kept out
of politics On the contrary, he was one
of the most active men in his state, but
his activity did not, save for the brief
period of his service as United States dis
trict attorney, extend to officeholding or
office seeking. His father was the recog-
Hized standard bearer of the family until
Thomas F. s election to the senate.
During the first term Of the younger
Bayard the senior was his colleague
part Of the time, both being chosen by
the same legislature on the same day,
Thomas F. for full term and his father
to fill an unexpired term.
Cabinet Officer and Embassador.
Mr.. Bayard remained in the senate un-
til 1856 when Mr.. Cleveland made him
secretary of state, and his services in that
high Office are well remembered in con-
nection with the Behring sea disputes,
the fisheries commission, and, most of all,
the giving of his passports to Sackville-
West, British minister to Washington,
because of the latter's connection with
the famous Murchison letter, written dur
ing the presidential campaign of 1888. 1t
was in this latter year that political re
verses came to the Bayard family in Della
ware. 1t arose from differences between
the Bayards and the Saulsburys lead
crs of the Democrats of Delaware,
md its immediate result was the election
Of Anthony Higgins a Republican, to
the United States senate in place
of Eli salisbury. In 1893, after Mr..
Cleveland's second election to the presi-
dency, Mr.. Bayard was made first embas-
sador from the United States TO Great
Britain, to succeed Robert Todd Lincoln,
the last United States minister to the
court of st. James.

CORN BUBBER.

If there is as much rubber in corn oil as some Chicago chemists say there Is the ownership of the process of extract ing it will be even more valuable than was Brother Jernegan's method of eX- tractng gold from sea-water. The corn-rubber experiments are being car ried on under the direction of the Glu- cose trust, and they have produced a rubber that will bend and stretch, and that has all the resiliency of the best Para caoutchouc, which is the stand ard rubber of commerce, Combined with Para rubber in the proportion of half and half, experts say this new rub Der of corn will cheapen the cost of rubber goods at least 20 per cent, and put added profits into the pockets of the Glucose trust, which owns the in- vention, of at least $1,0O0,0O0 a year. The experiment of making rubber from oil of corn was started at the Chicago refining plant one year ago, and a force of chemists has been working on 1t constantly since. In the manufac- ture of glucose a good deal of the corn has always been waste material. Some of this was made into other products, but there has always been a refuse of about per cent, which could not be utilized. This is what will be trans formed into the new substitute for rub Der.
 Corn-rubber has almost exactly the appearance of the ordinary reddish brown india-rubber. The oil from which the rubber is made comes from the germ of the corn and not from the hull. The starchy and glutinous por- tions of the kernel are used in making glucose and starch, while the corn oil, heretofore, according to the refiners, has been practically useless. The five refin- cries of the trust have used 21,0O0, 900 bushels of corn in the last ten months, of which about per cent. was refuse. Though forty different products are made, by the company, still per cent. was practically waste. By utiliz- ing this waste material in making the new product 1t is calculated that corn rubber can be sold at six cents a pound, The corn rubber, it is said. will be adapted to most of the uses that ordi- nary rubber is capable of.

INCoMBUsTIBLE WOOD.

Asserted English Improvement of an
 American Invention.
 In the Times for May 12 of last year an account was given of some satisfac- tory tests carried out on wood which, by a process of American origin, had been rendered uncomfortable, or at least incapable of sustaining and conveying flame. The first works in Europe for the application of this process, erected by the British Non-Flammable Wood company, near the Middlesex end of Wandsworth Bridge were formally opened recently when number of visi- tors witnessed another practical de- monstration of the enormous power to resist fire possessed by 'non-fiamma- bie" wood in comparison with ordinary timber The process may be said roughly to consist Of removing the nat ural juices of the wood and replacing them with certain substances which not only make it fire-proof, but also have antiseptic properties that prevent decay The operation is effected in re- torts or cylinders, the largest of which are one hundred and five feet long by seven feet in diameter.
 lie WODQ HdNlHB Deell run III OIl tIOl- leys, the air-tight door is closed and the contents subjected to heat and the action of a high vacuum. This treat ment is continued till the volatile and fermentable constituents have been withdrawn, the time required to attain this result varying with the character of the wood. The next step Is to fill the cylinder with the fire-proofing solution, the exact composition of which is kept secret, and force it into the wood under hydraulic pressure, the amount of which again differs for different woods, but may reach one hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch or more. When thoroughly impregnated with the salts the timber is taken out of the cyl finders, restacked on the trollies, and put into the drying kiln-a room through which hot air is continually circulated by powerful fans, and which is fitted with apparatus to condense the vapors given off by the wood. Here it remains till it is thoroughly dried-in the case of load of average thickness about a month. It is then ready for delivery and use. It may be mentioned that the British company claims, as the result of exhaustive experiment, to have improved materially on the origi- nal American process by getting rid of certain disadvantages connected with moisture and corrosion. n.-London Times.

 Some time ago, says San Paolo BraziD paper General was sent to one of the northern States to investi- gate the management of a government railroad, He belonged to the set of men who had made themselves obnox- ious by their endeavors in the service of reform, and here are some of his experiences; The very first day he found in one of the rooms of a railroad station a strong young man who was doing nothing. Thinking the young fellow had come to see him, he asked: Do you wish anything, my friend?" "No, sir; am employed here" "Sol What are your duties?" 1T have to fill the water jugs in the office every day" The General was a little astonished. In the next room he discovered another able-bodied young man smoking cig- aratte. Are you an employer" he ask ed. ''Yes, sir. I am the assistant of the gentleman in the next room." But that was nothing to what was to come. The General had already been informed that the road employed eighteen engin- eers, while only eight were working. He ordered that in future these men should at least take turn about. The next day one of these engineers" beardless youth, came to him and told him that he could not run locomotive to save his life, Then how did you get on the payroll,' Well, you see, General, it's this way: My family are poor, but wanted to study law. We've got some pull, so managed to get an appoint ment as honorary engineer, to make a living while pursue my studies"

LONG BURNING FIRES IN COAL
 MINES


 The coal mine fire at Connellsvlle which after burning slowly beneath the surface for twenty-six years, breaks out in all it's violence, is one of the startling incidents of mining life Coal is such an extensive deposit in Pennsyl- vania that in the operation of the vast number of mines it is practically im- possible to keep some section of the coal seam from catching fire once in while. When the fire Is started, to ex- tinguish it is task beyond the power of man unless the circumstances are favorable. Slowly the fire eats it's way into the vein, burning over wider areas as the fuel in immediate reach is con- sumed, flaming itself into fierce cra- ter of ruin when it breaks through the crust of earth and finds access to air to feed 1t with oxygen, daily threatening new fields and finding new opportunity with every new opening or old works that it penetrates.
 Mine fires have been among the pro- blems that operators encountered through all their experiences. Some in both sections of the state, in the an- thracite and the bituminous regions, have proved obstinate and destructive and all the ingenuity of man has failed to gain the mastery over them.-Pitts- burg (Pa.)

.ALL RIGHT AGAIN.

Yesterday morning there were some indications that the sailing toward peace wasn't quite as plain as it might be, but later Secretary Day made the following statement: "We have agreed upon protocol embodying the propos- ed terms for the negotiation of treaty of peace, including the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, and it is expected that this protocol will be executed"
 It is evident from this statement that Spain has not insisted on conditions that would make trouble, but has sim cerely tried to be reasonable and sensi- ble. If she continues in the same frame of mind, as she probably will, the pro- tocol will soon be signed and the peace commissioners appointed. It may be slow work to settle some of the details, but the war is over The sooner the fir ing on both sides is stopped the better. Our soldiers are much too good to be killed or wounded unnecessarily, and there are people in Spain who feel the same way about the Spanish soldiers.

Rawllnson indulged in betting wild an imals He had tame leopard named Fahad, which he brought to England and presented to the geological gar dens at Clifton, near Bristol. When ever Rawlinson was in England he would visit Fahad. As soon as the beast heard his cry, "Fahad! Fahad!" 1t would rise from the floor of it's cage, approach the bars, and then, rolling on the floor, extend it's head to be scratched.
 once the keeper who did not know SIT Henry, on seeing him batting the leopard, exclaimed:
 Take your hand out of the cage! The animals very savage and will bite you!"
 Do yo think sop said Sir Henry. T don't think he'll bite me. Will you, Fa- had?' And the beast answered in a purr and would hardly let the hand be withdrawn.
 He also had at Bagdad a pet lion, which had been found when a kitten on the bank of the Tigris-its mother hav- ing been shot-and brought to Sir Hen ry He alone fed it, and the lion when grown would follow him about like a dog.

 The lion would not go with them, but drew nearer it's master, and at last sat down under his chair with it's head be- tween his knees.
