President Buffers Lecture.

Pres. Nathaniel Butler, OF Colby, de-
livered lecture ION Literature and Its
Uses at the Congregat ional church last
Thursday evening. The church was
filled. Pres. Butler held tae close at
tentiun OF the audience for over an hour.
His interesting subject was handled in
a mastery way.
He defined literature specifically ms
those writings which give exalted pleas
ure TO the mind. He named a few novels
which had been the popular fad in recent
years, but which, he said, were not literH-
ture. He did not mean 10 say that the
books were worthless, but their worth
was only transient. Only a book " hiCh is
of permanent value could rightly be
called literature.
nder he head of literature as thus
defined, President Butler placed essay,
poetry, fiction and--W here it elevated the
mind beyond he mere facts which it
taug history. lie divided literature
into three classes intellectual, artistic
and moral. He gave Holmes poem The
Cham bered Nautilus, the place OF honor
as 1.-THE supreme product OF any Amer lean
poet.
President Butler lecture was the first in
the course arranged by Rev. d. l.. Yale.
The second will be on Thursday evening,
April p, when Prof. Rogers, OF the Uni
versity of Maine, will lecture. The sub
ject has been changed from that first an
nounced, to "Nenice', and the lecture

ITS FINAL RESTING PLACE.
Skeleton of Negro Woman Buried
Yesterday-NO Thorough In
Made.

The skeleton of the negro woman discov-
cred Friday afternoon in a pile of rubbish
in a slough near Seventeenth street and
Jackson avenue, was buried in Union GEM
etery by Undertaken Stewart yesterday.
The mystery that surrounds the case viii
probably never be cleared up. The police
are inclined 10 believe that the body was
buried in the slough by employees of some
medical college.
The theory advocated by Deputy Coroner
Wheeler Is that the woman met with foul
play. An examination disclosed the fact
that she had not been killed by being shot
or stabbed with a knife. If she really
met with foul play. the only plausible
theory that can be advanced is that she
was poisoned and her remains buried in the
mass OF refuse at Seventeenth and Jack
son to hide the crime.
DIR. Wheeler gave il as hrs opinion that
the remains had been in the slough only
about two months. If this was true The
stomach must have been in a fair state OF
preservation when the remains Were un-
earthed Friday. 1t is argued that if there
was the slightest suspicion of foul play as
suggested by DIR. Wheeler. II would have
been the duty of either the coroner or His
deputy to perform an autopsy. However.
no one seemed to take any interest in the
case and the remains We're given a second
burial without any investigation Other than
that made by DR.. Wheeler.

TRANSFORMATION SCENE.
This Week to Play PUSSY
Wants n Corner.

Within the next ten Gays-possibly with
in Il week-the various justice of peace
woolsacks of the city will nave adjusted
themselves to the forms OF the new lin
oumbents.' The law provides that the
commission of j justice of the peace ex-
pires four years after the date of Its is
suance and that the newly-eleCted justice
may take his seat Immediately upon its
expiration. The rule has been that the
newly-elected justices secure their COM
missions soon after election. so that the
date of making the change does not grow
later.
In four of the eight districts the closing
of the four years term will not call for
any readjustIneRt or the part of the wool
sack, as that many of the justices succeed
themselves. These four are Joyce. SpitZ.
