HOLY MAN OF BENARES.

Dead After Many Years of Self-Ip.
 posed Suffering.
 The famous Hindu holy man Is dead. His name was Swami Bhaskarananda and he lived in the city of Benares. This devout Brahmln. who kept him. self naked and self-!mmured, was visit ed by nearly all the Indian tourists during their stay at Benares, including the Prince of Wales. He spent his life in rigid posture, giving no heed to his visitors and patiently waited for death in the holy city which, according to Hindu belief, means life everlasting. Swami Bhaskarananda whole life was devoted to one object-that of ob-

It costs but $11 for motor car and a trailer, with an extra charge of $3 for every additional car needed. On the line of the Chicago Electric Traction Company, special funeral car, the Virginia, Is provided. It is dark-green in color. At each end Is a yestibule, having a door in its front for the admission of the casket. In one of these vestibuleS the casket remains during the journey to the cemetery. screened from the rest of the ear by heavy curtains. The car proper is rich ly furnished, and accommodates twen- ty persons.
 The Calumet company has no special funeral car, but the back is removed from the seat of an ordinary motor car and on this the casket Is placed. On either side of the casket the pall-bear- CTS take their places while relatives and friends occupy the remaining seats.

tainng emancipation for the impris- oned spirit by such bodily austerities as he believed would annhilate its con scious connection with the body and with material things. To attain this end he forsook his kindred and turned his back upon society. He sought out a filthy cave and there sat ill a painful posture of the body for many years. That there could be no greater martyr dom than that which this devotee chose for himself is attested by the fact that tourists in India were not content with viewing the Golden Temple, the shrine of the monkeys and the ceSspools of the gods, but almost without exception directed their footsteps to the cell of the hca then saint seeking reunion with God. Even Christian martyrology tells no more pathetic tale of the sacrifice of the body to save the soul.

 Dr. Joseph Joachim. who recently eel ebrated the siXtieth anniversary of his debut as violinst and was signally honoreu at Berlin. Is not SD old as his long career would lead one to believe. Joachim, 1t must be remembered, came before the public, like Rubinstein, when he was child. He is now GS years old. He was born in Hungary and studied music at Vienna under Jo- seph Boehn. Later he was under the care of David and of Moritz Haupt- mann. His first visit to Paris was in 1850, by which time, although he was only 19 years of age, he was already celebrated. In the same year while still in his teens, Joachim was appoint ed director of the concerts at Weimar. and three years subsequently master of

MJTRRAY. n l)pUlOcFul. Sue was an enthusiastic partisan of ex- Governor Horace Boles, of Iowa, and supported him at all times through the medium of the Nashua uowM Reporter, of which she was editor and part pro prietor. In 1896, When Governor Boies had designs upon the Presidency, Miss Murray was so ardent in his behalf that she attended the Chicago conven- tion and electioneered i'll his favor among the national delegates from one end of the great hall to the other.
 On Saturday, July 10, the last day of the convention, after Bland's name had been turned down and before Bryan had become the dominant factor Miss Murray could no longer contain herself She saw an opportunity to gain an ad vantage for her favorite, and acted up- on 1t without delay.
 The convention had just adjourned for dinner. Not a delegate had left the hall. Miss Murray was seated in the balcony. She was dressed wholly i'll white. She waved handkerchief and shouted the name of Boies.
 In q minute she had attracted the at tention of thousands of delegates and visitors. Every eye was fastened upon "The Woman in White." For a while nobody knew her name, but even the friends of other candidates shared the enthusiasm of the fair partisan, and shout after shout went up from the thousands of throats below. Louder and louder, and soon the streets of Chi cago were resonant with the name of Horace Boies. of Iowa.
 Had the convention then been In ses- sion 1t is more than likely that Horace Boies and not William J. Bryan would have been nominated for the Presi- dency.
