his wealth being estimated at as high
$4,000, Turner died in poverty and want,
leaving a wife and two children in desti-
tute circumstances. He inherited part of
the money from Brooks Turner, his foster
father, and the rest he obtained in small
legacies at different intervals. Turner
never hesitated to share his last penny
with a friend, however, and was generous
to a fault.
Turner manifested many eccentricities
of character, and to a person not init
mately acquainted with the man he was
regarded as a singular individual, indeed.
He scoffed at conventionaltty of attire,
and astonished his friends by once ap-
pearing in Chicago in a crash suit when
the weather was cold enough for a top
coat.
After fire at Block1ey almshouse, when
several Of the inmates escaped, this pc
culiarity cost him considerable inconven-
fence. He appeared at Broad street sta
ton wearing a seersUcker suit in mid
winter and was taken in charge by an
overzealous policeman. When told the
reason of his arrest he said:
Sir. you have made a great mistake.
am the city solicitor of Wilmington"
.fOh, that's what they all say remark
ed the policeman, with a shrug of his
shoulders, and he persisted in taking Tur-
ner to the station house, where he had
some little difficulty in proving his iden-
tity, but was released.
Turner's end was unnoticed even by
those whom he had politically served His
brilliant meteoric career closed as it had
opened, in obseurity. Had his environ
ments been different the powerful intel
leet which he debauched might have been
as well and as favOrably known as was
that of the great man whose name he
bore, but whose recognition he never Sc
cured.

MUMMIFYING THE DEAD.
Mammoth Mausoleum to be Erected
in New York.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE customs of
the ancient Egyptians of mummifying
their dead bids fair to be revived in
New York.
a scheme has been proposed looking
to the building of handsome structures
on the apartment house plan in the
outlying districts around New York,
which will be nothing more or less than
mammoth mausoleums.
Private rooms will be sold just as lots
are now in cemeteries, and here the
purchasing family can lay their dead to
rest.
The bodies are to be mummified by a
simple process. On arriving at the
mausoleum they will be pIacedin
metal receptacle shaped like a coffin,
with a tube entering at the head and
with a hole at the foot. Dry air, after
being sent through a vat of sulphuric
acid, will be forced through the tube in
to the coffin, passing over the body and
escaping through the hole at the foot.
is forced into a furnace where such in
fictitious germs as it may have caught
up in passing over the body will be
destroyed and the air will escape
through the furnace chimney. This
current of air will pass gently over the
body for 30 days and will have the eff
feet of rendering it immune from any
deterioration.
The natural expression of the face
will be retained and the body will have
the same appearance as in life, though
the skin will become dry and hard. The
entire cost of the preparation and quar-
ters of the body will be $40, though pri-
Vate rooms or suites will cost more,
according to the size and fittings.

FRANTIC WITH KNIVES.
Doctors Have Now Found Some
thing Else to IgnOrantly
Cut and Slash.

St. Louis, Jan. 17.-Conrad Beck. a ma
chinist of 4S44 oregon avenue, 46 years of
age, is the first man in the world to have
his stomach removed.
He was sent to the hospital of DR.. Ber-
nays to be operated on for cancer of the
stomach. Wednesday morning the opera
ton was performed.
When the abdomen was opened in the
usual way it was found that the disease
extended the whole length from the ESQ.,
phagus to within an inch of the pyloris.
The latter outlet of the stomach was en-
tirely free from disease
1t was found that all the stomach Wis
cera would have to be removed, and this
was done. Then the pyloris was sewed
to the esophagus, making a complete and
perfect duct. The operation was finished
in two hours and six minutes.
The fact that Beck has survived thus
far is encouraging to science, but it is i'm
possible now to tell what the outcome
may be. The patient will be kept in the
strictest secIusion for at least ten days.
This morning Beck was in a state OF
senicoma He was conscious but ex>
tremeIy weak. The only other case OF
the kind ever performed was that of DR..
Carl Schlatter at Zurich, Switzerland on
Mrs. Anna Lands.

RIDTCULES NANSEN.
One of Explorer Greely's Men Says His
Claims Are Preposterous.

indianapolis, Jan. 17.-Nansen, the
Arctic explorer, lectured in this city,
and in the audience was Sergeant
F'rederichs, of the Greedy expedition,
whose experience in the northern chimes
is in advance of that of Nansen, al
though he may not have gone so far
nOrthward. FrederichS asserts that the
photograph exhibited by NanSen are
not genuine. Accompanying Freder-
ich's party was an expert photographer
named Rice, equipped with the finest
Photographic outfit ever made. Hun
dredS and hundreds of times, assisted
by FrederichS, he attempted to take
photographs during the long Arctic
night, but never succeeded. 1T is i'm
possible to photograph the Aurora
borealis," says Sergeant Frederichs.
Its flashes are as sudden as lightning
and full OF changing cOlors. 1t may ap-
pear in front of you at one moment and
then as suddenly as light itself it CLAN
ces off to the right or left"
Frederichs also claims that Nansen's
polar bear killing stories, where he used
bird shot to save the life of a compan-
ion, are simply preposterous. The
fleece of a polar bear is thick and
heavy, and beneath is matted fur which
in itself will Withstand bird shot. In
addition the animal has a hide as tough
as can be. They have been known to
carry heavy rife bullets for years, their
vitality being wonderful, and during
the Greedy expedition none were killed
unless the bullet pierced the brain or
heart. He also ridiculeS Nansen's
swimming story, because the tempera-
ture of the Arctic water is so cold that
a person loses his vitality and is seized
with cramps almost with the moment
of contact.
Frederichs makes merry over Nan
sens story concerning how he and his
companion dug a hole in the ground for
his winter house, using only a spade
from the shoulder blade of a walrus
and a pick made from the tusk of a
walrus. During the Greedy expedition
it took Is men working in RELAYS two
weeks to dig a hole two feet square and
one foot in depth.
1--WE had the best of picks, cold CHS
els, axes, hatchets and spades, and we
worked like beavers says Frederichs.

almost as tough as asphalt"

Lllegitimate Descendant Of Hen
~ Clay Dies Insane.
Inherited His IIIustrfous Faith
er's Liking For Liquor.
COULDN'T STAND 1T.
He Was a Man of Brilliant In
tellect and Successful.
Few Of His Acquaintance Knew
of His Percentage.

Wilmington, Del, Jan IAN i1egiti-
mate but keenly endowed son of Henry
Clay has just died in the state hospital
for the insane of paresis. His parentage
was known to only a few in this city, but
his friends were acquainted with it. He
was the offspring of an unmarried wo-
man, and as such was adopted by Brooks
Turner at the time the proprietor of the
famous hosiery, the Delaware House.
His illustrious father was never directly
mentioned by either his mother or guard
ian as his parent, and though rumor whis-
pered long before it was verified. it re-
manned for Turner himself to establish
by his own statement to a friend that
Clay was his ancestor.
Clay made an fnvariable rule to stop at
the Delaware House on the occasion of
his frequent visits to Wilmington, where
he was royalty entertained by his host
and qUaffed of the contents of the flow
ing bowl, while the numerous party work
ers and ward heelers gathered about the
bar in an awe-stricken attitude to watch
the great commoner drink. In the fam
fly of Turner was a domestic by the name
of Elliott, who, being fair of face attract
ed the attention of the famous Wing. He
made it a point to see her whenever he
was in Wilmington, and a son was born
to her there. The boy was a healthy
babe, and while yet unchristened was
adopted by Turner, who at the christen-
ing insisted that it should be given the
name of Henry Clay Turner
Turner attended the public schools in
Wilmington q boy. He proved an apt
pupil and showed such marked ability
that he was promoted rapidly and had lit
tie difficulty in entering st. NIary's col
iege at an early age.
He subsequently studied law and was
admitted to the bar.
In the summer of 1881 Turner was elected
city solicitor of Wilmington and held
this important office for two successive
terms and served as deputy judge of the
municipal court
In spite of the fact that he was pos
sessed of considerable money at one time,
