THE LATE DR.. MURRAY.

One of the most distinguished edu-
Gators of the country has recently
passed away in the death Of DR.. James
o. Murray, dean of Princeton univer-
sity. DR.. Murray was born of south
ern parentage at Camden, S. c., on
November 81, 1927. He obtained his
literary education at Brown univer-
sity, but prosecuted his theological
studies at Andover Theological SEM
mary. Entering Immediately into min
isterial work, he became pas tor of the
Congregational church in South Dan
vers, Mass, where he remained from
1854 to 1851. He was then pastor for
four years OF the Prospect Street Con-
gregational church at Cambridgeport,
Mass. In 1855 he was called to the
Brick Presbyterian church of New
York city as associate pastor with DR..
Gardiner Spring, then in advanced
years and failing health. After DR..
Springs death Dr. Murray became the
sole pastor In 1875 DR.. Murray went
to Princeton to take the Holmes pro-
fessorship of bellies lettres and Eng
lish language and literature to which
he had been elected by the trustees.
In 1886 the Office of dean of the faculty
was created during the last years Of
President McCosh's administration,
and DR.. Murray was elected its first
incumbent. In this Office he remained
to his death, continuing also to per-
form the duties of his professorship.
He was also the vice president of the
board of trustees of the Theological

California Timber.

The writer, on first visiting timber
yards in northern Europe, could not
get rid of the impression that the
round timber was all culls or waste
A raft load of logs in the Gotha river
in Sweden was thought to consist of
telegraph poles. 1t happeSed to be
a collection of small timber even for
there, and a visit to the Pacific coast
Of North America, soon after, still
further emphasized the enormous diff
ference in the timber resources of the
two countries. Soon after arriving in
San Francisco there was encountered
in the street squared beam of fir
more than 100 feet in length, being
hauled to a factory in course of cree
ton. Following this beam to its des-
tination-a wooden factory then being
built-it was a matter of establishment
to find all the longitudinal beams or
"stringers'' of the same length. This
establishment was increased when the
contractor said: I'VE never bother
about dimensions, and just order what
we want" A section eight feet in
diameter, cut from a redwood tree,
completed a new impression of Amer
lean forest timber

Belgian Plan.

Municipal authorities of Mons, Bel
GUM. have just adopted resolution
which will prevent children from being
born paupers in that city. Every child
born in Mons, after being registered
officially. will have a bank account
opened in it's name with the City Saw
ings Bank. The authorities will de-
post one franc for the infant, who,
when he arrives at sufficient age, will
find this as a nucleus to augment with
his penny savings. The original de-
post of one franc cannot be drawn at
any time, but the interest accruing Is
the property of the young depositor

NO RAILROAD LIKE 1T.
Run for the Accommodation of Fisher
men and Gamers.

Perhaps the most interesting rail-
road in Pennsylvania is the kishocqu-
illas Valley, which runs from Reed
Vile to Belleville, a distance of nine
miles, says the Pittsburg Post. 1t has
connection with the Pennsylvania on
the Lewiston division and does good
business. Its equipments consists, &C
cording to official statement, of two
engines and four cars. Only one of the
locomotives is in use steadily, how
ever, and when it is in the roundhouse
the residents of the town know that no
trairs are on the road. The general
manager and purchasing agent is }. T.
Getter, a physician of Belleville. His
wife, Clara W. Getter, is treasurer of
the line. The engineer of the locomo-
tive in use is master mechanic, super
intendent of motive power and several
other things as we'll and it is said OF
him that he has an easy time of ii
unless something happens to break
when he has to work all night, if need
be, in repairing the damage. Special
trains are frequently run over the line
by fishing parties to some of the trout
streams along the route. The trains
are hand cars borrowed for the time
being, and operated by section hands
The principal traffic over the road

have made Mr.. Markham handsome
offers for future work from his pen.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the bril-
liant poet and critic, who long ago
hailed Mr. Markham's genius with ac-
claim, is particularly enthusiastic over
his latest poem, and has written him
a long letter commenting on the quail
ity of the poem and warmly praising
it..
81 visited the poet at his home on
Nineteenth street to learn at first hand
something of the genesis of a poem
that has so profoundly affected the
thought of thousands to whom a few
weeks ago Prof Markham was a
stranger" says Henry A. Newberry in
the Oakland Tribune. 81 found a man
whose personality is as charming as
his poetry. Dignified, cordial and I'M
affected, his keen but kindly eyes are
alight with the lambert fame of a gen.
tie and gracious soul. That Prof.
Markham is not only a poet, but a
scholar as well, is attested by the ap-
pearance of the room into which I was
ushered. Books are everywhere, rang
ed completely around the room. His
library is a splendid one, and reflects
its owners discriminating taste in
poetry, philosophy and literary criti-
cism.

Any one who lights one cigarette
from another and then lights one OF
the same brand with match Will per-
ceive that the latter smokes mucn
fresher and sweeter. When you light
your cigarette by applying it to that
of your friend you draw some OF the
stale smoke and accumulated nicotine
OF his into yours. This spoils the
best cigarette made. In fact, no one
who appreci- .es the fresh flavor or
newly kindled tobacco would think OF
doing it. Should you be snort or
matches, or particularly economical,
howevN, there is a method OF lighting
one cigarette from another by which
you can escape the evil consequences
described. This consists of applying
the whole surface of the end OF the
end of the unlighted cigarette to the
red end of the other, and blowing, not
drawing. gently through it. The kim
ding occurs more rapidly and COM
pletely than in the old-fashioned way,
and. in addition, preserves all the
flavor.

A geologist made a most interesting
discovery in southern California the
other day. He was digging on the
top of a mountain of no mean height
when he unearthed a portion of the
petrified head of whale. The piece,
which was about thirty inches long,
was evidently from that part which
Joins the vertebrae column. 1t was
twelve inches wide, eighteen inches
thick, and weighed some $50 pounds.
There is only one solution to the mys-
terry; that whale came up onto the
mountain in the days when Noah was
cruising about in his mighty battle
ship. Just how his lordship came to
be imbedded in the sandstone in which
he was found is not so clear. No
other portions were found.

A NEW POETIC STAR RISES.

A new poet has arisen. His name Is
Edward Markham, and he is school
teacher in Oakland, Cal. He has been
writing verses of merit for a NUMBER
of years, and his name is familiar to
the lovers of poetry who read the lead
ing magazines and newspapers OF the
country, and who pay some attention
to the author az we'll as to his produc-
ton. To the majority of readers, how
ever. he has been unknown until quite
recently, when, like Byron, he awoke
one morning to find himself famous.
A short time ago the papers puDllsheo
his latest and greatest poem, one
which stamps the writer as man OF
genius, and which has already placed
him in the first rank of modern poets.
It is entitled "The Man with the Hoe,
and is based on Millet's famous paint
ing. Since the publication of this
poem Mr. Markham has received thou
sands of letters from admirers from
every section of the United States. A
number of Eastern magazines have re-
uuested permission to publish it, and

An attractive feature OF the Paris
Exposition will be an exact representa-
ton of the studios or working rooms
of famous actors, dramatists and mu-
sfcians. The rooms in which Talma,
Mars, Rachel, Gounod and Dumas the
younger studied will be faithfully rep
resented, even to the most minute de-
tails. The study of the younger Dumas
will attract special attention, as it will
surely remind every one of the elder
man and of his Three Musketeers' -
and will present in vivid contrast as

ing of the two men-the hasty. impul-
sive method of the elder Dumas, and

younger.

Mammoth Meat.

On Feb. a Swede and his partner,
while marking their claim on Dom1n-
ion Creek, discovered, according to
Dawson newspaper, body of NAM
moth forty feet below the surface.
The story was that the body was IN
perfect state Of preservation. Unfor-
tunately there were no scientists IN
Dawson to examine the body, but, &C
cording to press statements, 1t meas
ured 441a feet long. Its right tusk was
broken, but its left tusk was perfect, 30
that it was probable that the right
tusk may have been snapped of in the
fall that caused its death. The tusk
which remains measures IA feet s
inches in length and 4S inches In cir
conference. The flesh was covered
with woody hair Is inches long, Of
gIayish-blac> color. The neck was
short and the limbs long and Stout
the feet short and broad, and had hve
toes The flesh was cut and tasted
sweet. Mammoth flesh has been
tasted on other occasions. 1t is very
unfortunate that an expert geologlst
was not upon the ground at the time
of the find, as it is of considerable IN
portance.

Oueen,s Drawing Room

If the queen holds the drawing room
in person the woman presented re-
moves her right-hand glove, places her
hand beneath that of the queen and
kisses her majesty's hand. When one
of the princesses holds the drawing
room, ladies only courtesy and omit
the hand kissing. The courtesy is not
slow and measured, but should be quick
and graceful. Full instructions as to
ones dress are always given at the

A GOOD INDIAN.
Grandson of the Jam Chief Osceols

bead.
Osceola Cook, who died recently il
Providence, was a grandson of the
famous Seminole Chief Osceola, al
though he was not proud of it by any
means, steadfastly claiming that he
was a Mexican. AS a matter of fact,
his father was a full-blooded negro.
His life, if all its details were fully
known, would furnish material for a
dozen romanceS, for he was restless
and advent Gus in his early years and
left a few shadowy spots in his per
sonal history which are better not in
vestigated perhaps at this late day.
During his later years he conducted
bootblacking establishment in Provl-
dence and made fully $4,000, very lit
tie of which he left, however, at his
DEATH as he handled money with a
lavish hand. At the time of his death
he was As years old and weighed 449
pounds, but in spite of this was the
strongest man in Providence, some OF
his prodigious feats of strength pelns
the pride of the sporting fraternity OF
that city. When a boy he followed the
sea, shipping up and down the coast
before the mast. After the civil war
he enlisted in the regular army, served
in the Southwest, became mixed up IN
one of those shadowy affairs, slipped
off to Mexico and joined wandering
circus. After a succession of wild es-
capades he became a bull hsater'
where his fine physique had falr
chance to display itself, and became
involved with a senorita and ro-
nance, and retired again from circula-
ton. A two-year period followed here,
about which he was always most retl-
cent, but at the expiration OF that time
he suddenly appeared in Providence
with a fluent control of the Spanish
language and money enough to open
the first and most successful boot
backing stand in that city. Even in
his business career he had to have &
certain amount of excitement, and his
shooting affairs with DULLES of various
grades were picturesque in the ex-
IRENE.
