Autopsy Remains of Gregoire
shows Abnormal Conditions.

OAKLAND, September 26.-The remains
of Celophas Gregoire, who committed sui
eide on Friday night. will be shipped to-
day to Quebec for tnterme1t. The alb
normal condition disclosed by the post
mortern examination OF Grog0ire are al
most without parallel IN me Teal history.
There was a complete reversal OF the nor
NAL conditions of the heart, lungs and
liver. and the stomach had been crowded
out Of its natural place.
One of the chief arteries dill not exist
in this strangely constructed man, yet the
evidence of mis- perfect health was mani
fest in his sound body. The marvellous
displacement had not even affected the
organs themselves, all being OF normal
development and healthy.

liz accepting his twelfth nomination

tor Of the Republican party, said in
speaking Of the questions raised by the
war: Il hope that all these problems
may be worked out consistently with
our time-honored and dearly bought in
stitutions and with the traditions OF our
wise forefathers." This note OF warn
ing. coming from Mr.. Reed, is likely to
cause vigorous kick from that element
OF his party favoring colonial imperial
ism-or government without the assist
anee or consent of the governed, who
were urging a policy OF territorial expan-
sion with all the corruption, jobbery and
stealing that would follow in its train.
The party dictator has dropped broad
hint that these things are contrary to
our national policy and traditions. In
this he is wise and if his followers in
congress do not take the hint Reed will
make its meaning more plain.

COLLISION ON LAKE ERIE.
Big Wha1eback Henry Cort Disables
PASSENGER kteamer New York.

Big wha1eback Henry Cort Disables
Passenger steamer New York.
A disastrous collision took place on
Lake Erie, three miles from Cleveland
(Ohio) harbor. AS a result the passenger
steamer State of New York is badly dam
aged, nearly all her upper works on the
port side having been swept away by the
Prov of the whaleback Henry Cort, bound
in. The State of New York was bound
for Toledo and carried about 200 passen-
gers. The whaleback Henry Cort was
due to arrive with a tow and the tug
L. P. Smith left the mouth of the river,
following the State of New York. Capt.
Ed Dalk, of the tug, heard a crash. He
proceeded to the steamer, finding her dis
abled. The whaleback had struck the
passenger boat near the paddle box, which
it demolished, and then swept away the
upper works some distance aft There
was wild rush of passengers to the deck,
but the officers and crew acted with cool
ness and order was soon restored. No one
was injured. Soon after the collision the
big passenger steamer began to list badly.
Two tugs were sent to the rescue and she
was towed into the river. The cause OF
the collision has not been determined. The
Henry Cort belongs to the Rockefeller
feet. She is said to have had burning her
regulation lights. She is not damaged.
The State of New York is owned by the
Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company.

Man at Various Stages.

A statistician has tabulated the age
at which men at various stages in their
life prefer their wives to be. Young
men of Is Or 10 years, it seems, gener-
ally select wives of their own age but
with increasing years comes WISDOM
and at 20 man prefers a woman of
from q to p years. This, indeed, seems
to be a very desirable age for an IN
married woman, for it remains the IA
Vorite for the man in search of a wife
until he has passed his Goth year. At
30 he likes best the women who are
anywhere from five years to one year
younger than himself, and he is CON
slant in this preference up to his 10th
year. Then he is willing that she shall
be as much as ten years younger than
himself, but will not have her if she be
his equal in years, an opinion which he
holds for half decade. At from Is
to 90 he looks for less disparity, prefer
ring women from 40 to 45, and in the
next five years he has the same choice
Thereafter he prefers a woman ten
years yo.nger than himself.

Disaster at Key West.

Benjamin Kimmell and Alvan Harper,
recruits of the First Artillery at Fort
Taylor garrison. Key West, Fla. were
instantly killed by the premature exp!o-
sion of a powder charge in gun. The
bodies of both men were hurled twenty
yards over the parapet into the sea and
were literally blown to pieces. Win
Emlen Clark, another recruit, Harper and
kimmell were handling gun No. 10, lo-
inch muzzle- loading Rodman, which had
not been used for year. They had fired
one charge, and after swabbing out the
cannon were ramming home q second
charge Of twenty-five pounds of powder,
when it was ignited by the burning shred
casing Of the first cartridge. Clark, who
was holding the vent, was unprovided
with thumb stalls and when the flaming
gas bit into his flesh he lifted his thumbs,
and the entire charge was exploded. Har-
per and Kimmeu were standing just Ia
front of the muzzle. The shattered bodies
were picked up by the patrol tug Frank
and were buried at shutdown, not far from
the graves Of the Maine victims. Kimmall
was Fl years old and was born in Monroe
County, Indiana. Harper was two years
older and came from New Winchester,
Ind.
