A Picture of the Professor.

CHICAGO, Jan. Bone of Professor
Schneck's former pupils DR.. l. S. Simon.
is now practicing in this city. He left DR..
Schneck in May, 1897 and is fresh from the
presence of the man of science. He spoke
of his old preceptor yesterday, saying:
"Schneck is above all worker He is a
slave to science and deYotes nearly all OF
his time to original research In spite of
that fact, must say that he finds a little
time for the social side of life Aside from
science, his thoughts are with his family
OF whom he is very proud, and Justly 80.
he has a charming wife, a modest little
for her husband. His sons are fine, big
dark fellows, typical Austrians and they
are the apple of the professors eye. His
social life is spent in his family circle, and
If you want to see him when he has for
gotten science you must visit him at his
house The first thing he will do will DC
TO call in his two eldest sons, nineteen and
twenty-three years Old He will point to
them with pride and exclaim: There you
are. Look at those youngsters. Aren't they
fine? / have all boys. That is what you
should have l have the secret of it. But
wait. l cannot tell you now. 1t is still
secret. You shall know before very long
atty cordial and talkative. In appearance
he is short and stout, dark and heavily
bearded. He has done much for science,
and | cannot but believe that when he says
he has discovered something there must be
something in what he says. He is fond of
the young men, but particularly of his stu
dents, and most of all he likes young Amer
and has been thirty-one years a professor
in the University of Vienna"

Schneck. He is a savant, and may be right.

DR.. E. Schafer professor of physiology
in the London University. said tonight:
Though the problem of the determination
OF sex seemed absolutely inSoluble to all
scientists hitherto. Professor Schneck is q
man OF such eminence that his promised
solution is awaited with respect. / do not
pose as an authority. but my opinion is
that the determination of sex Is ruled by
some natural law not conceivably varied
so far as research has gone hitherto. Sue

tically proved. and the area of inquiry and
proof is so wide it appears impossible that
1t could be covered in any single lifetime
The history Of every individual case claimed

detail, to obviate the error of accepting
what may be only coincidence as the re-
suit of prescribed treatment. Experiment

FOR CURRENCY REFORM.
Monetary Commissioners Advocate
and Explain Their Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The hearing of
the monetary commission in behalf Of its
bill for currency reform was resumed before
the banking and currency committee of the
House to-day. T. ]. Bush. of Alabama who
was heard yesterday, gave an additional ex-
PLANTATION. He urged the ease OF redemp-
ton under the plan of the commission. Mr..
Bush also made the point that while his
friends might not succeed in having this
entire bill enacted as a law, yet they at
least desired that it's essential features of
relief would be incorporated into measure
of financial reform.
The examination of ex-Secretary Fairchild
was then resumed. Mr.. Cox. of Tennessee,
propounded a series of questions to Mr..
Fairchild. Technically he agreed with Mr..
Cox that the silver certificates were simply
warehouse certificates. but practically they
were used indiscriminately and fulfilled all
the functions of any other class of money.
Under the commissions plan, the cX-secre-
tary said. the banks could redeem notes in

and the noteholder demands gold" asked
Mr.; Cox, would there be any way If COM
peliing the bank to pay gold?''
NO" replied Mr.. Fairchid, who proceed
ed to explain. however. that the silver OBJ
tanned from the bank could be exchanged
at the treasury for gold. Under this plan
the only method for the banks TO obtain
gold, Mr. Fairchlld said. would be by the
presentation Of silver. The greenbacks
would be out of existence So that If the
outstanding silver did not suffice to procure
enough gold from the treasury for the re-
demption of its notes, the banks would be
compelled to procure gold elsewhere. He
denied that the government could be forced
to redeem indirectly all the bank notes in
gold.
Robert S. Taylor. Of Fort Wayne, Ind.
appeared before the committee at the after
noon session. He spoke IN behalf of the bill
prepared by the monetary commission. Mr..
Taylor then carefully eiucidated the provi-
sions of the bill. In the course OF his state
ment he said: 1T is time to close the de-
bate. We have had talk enough experience
enough, disaster enough, For five years the
business OF this country has heen I'm a state
OF strain. The beating back Of the free
silver assault has relieved 1t for the mo-

QUESTION OF SEX.
Views of French ard London Scien-
lists as to Schneck's Discovery.

LONDON. Jan. 13.-The scientists of
Vienna. Berlin, Paris and London are still
discussing Prof Schneck's alleged discovery
of a method for influencing sex. Though
MANY doctors are inclined to ridicule the
professors statement that woman has the
power. if rightly exercised, to determine
the sex Of her offspring. most scientists
are treating his views with respect. 1t is
said that the professor achieved the most
convincing of his demonstrations of his
method in the case of the family of the
lArchduke Frederick of Austria. The arch
duke is the possessor of a large fortune,
and had been presented with eight hand
some daughters in tine course of twenty
years of married life. His one great desire
was to have son to leave with his title
and his millions He consulted Schneck ana
the triumph of the scientist was shown in
the birth to the archduchess of a bouncing
boy in July, 1897.
DR. Matthias Duval. professor of histology
in the French Institute of Medicine, the ac-
knowledged highest French authority in his
branch OF science said to-day: THE atti-
tude of French doctors toward Professor
Schnecks alleged discovery is one OF benev-
olent reserve. Since the days of Hipproc-
rates the problem of regulating the produc-
ton of the sexes has been studied scer-
tifically and only i'm the case of bees has
anything been observed which would sup

Senator Mcmillan. from the committee on
naval affairs, to-day favorably reported a
bill for the construction on the great lakes
of a gunboat to cost not exceeding $3.50, 90,
exclusive of armament, the vessel to take
the place of the steamship Michigan, now
on duty on the lakes. The committee recon-
mends the passage of the bill with the dis
tinct understanding that the substitution of
the new vessel for the Michigan raises no
new question of international bearing

Knocked Down Three Times.

PITTSBURG, Jan. ia large crowd
filled the opera house at Millvale, a suburb
tonight to witness the ten-round boxing
contest at catch weights between the local
featherweight, Jack McClelland, and James
Kennard, the st. Paul Kid" The fight
was a fast one from start TO finish. In the
ninth round it was stopped by Burgess
Young after Kennard had been knocked
down three times. The referee gave the
decision TO McClelland. Kennard played a
waiting game throughout and was pretty
badly punished. In the fifth round he got
in a hard blow on McClelland's neck which
laid Jack out for nine seconds. Both men

Frederick r. Ketcham against the Chicago

listing was to-day set aside by Judge Rich
ard w. Clifford. A new trial is granted.
By the verdict Ketcham had been awarded
SCI, 600 damages. The case was an outgrowth
of the Debs strike. The ground on which
the court set aside the verdict and granted
a new trial was that an improper lnstruc-

his decision that the reviewing court would
need nothing more than a mere inspection

her on the head with a large club. She fell
to the floor and when picked up was I'M
conscious, and later on was prom ounced by
a physician as dead. She was prepared for
burial and all plans completed for the fun

of the family noticed color in her face and
an investigation was started. Later on she
arose in her coffin, was assisted 20 bed

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Announcement was
made to-day that the anthracite coal pro-
ducng and carrying companies have ad-
vanced prices 10 to 20 cents per ton, to the
basis of $685. free on board for stove at tide
water, other prices in proportion. The adj
vance, it was explained, is due to the light
ness of stock, resulting from the continued
restriction of the output and to large or
ders from the West. An official of one of
small coal is so light that the locomotives
on his road are using bituminious COAL In
trade circles the belief is expressed that
continued mild weather will prevent realiza-
ton of the new prices.
