versity commencement, which brought
him here Saturday. and in which, by
virtue of his class office, the young
man would have been one of the lead
ers. The terrible tragedy has cast a
gloom over the whole city. The full
details of the terrible accident will
never be known. Hay had rooms at
the New Haven House for commence
ment week
Went to Steep Near Sudden Death.
1t is generally supposed, however,
that after going to his roam he went to
the window for air, and that, sitting
on the sill he dOZed off, overbalanced
and fell to the pavement below, a fall
OF fully sixty feet The fall resulted
in instant death, and within fifteen
minutes the body had been identified
as that of young Hay. The hotel
where the unfortunate young man was
quartered faces on Chapel street, the
principal thoroughfare of the city, and
is almost under the caves Of the uni
versity which he proudly claimed as
his alma mater.
One Spectator of the Tragedy.
There was a solitary spectator to the
terrible tragedy-a labOrer on the city
streets. At the hour mentioned the
workman saw the form of man fall
ing through space. An instant later
there was sickening thud, and the
body lay directly in front Of the main
hotel entrance. The Mortified laborer
rushed to the spot. and his shouts
brought others. The usual crowd gath
cred. In it were several belated Yale
graduates. They bent over the body.
One of them, Julian Mason, a son Of
the late Edward G. Mason, of Chi
cago, and a classmate of young Hay,
drew back and horror stricken cried:
my God it's Del Hay" By this time
the hotel clerk had reached the scene
and made the Identification complete.

fooling. Real estate has doubled in
prices in the past ten years and has
not been raised on the tax roll; in
many instances cut down by the vot-
ers."
If all assessors value on the salable
basis, equality will be worked; if not,
there will be grumbling, and which
ever it works, it means progress.
Ellis Usher thinks the new orders
to assess at full value will be barren
of results. The state tax commission
has authority to punish assessors who
do not follow the law. By comparison
with past valuations 1t will be easy
enough to ascertain what assessors are
afraid of the rigid instructions. The
state board Is a determined set of men
and as the effect of non-enforcement
would be to discredit the state board,
(Which is none too popular in cOrpor-
ate circles), we may look for an i'm
portant chapter in state finances.

PROPER USE OF PUBLIC OFFICE.

The removal by Governor Roosevelt
of Peter NJ. Wise, President of New
York State Lunacy Commission is COM
mended by all those who desire to see
public officials restrained toa a proper
use of their office. In this case it was
proved that DIR. Wise induced his sub
ordinates to buy stock in a private
mining venture of which he was the
head that these subordinates endorsed
the chiefs personal note; that he tried
to borrow money from a man with
whom he had extensive official dealing
and that he permitted the funds and
the lands of the State Lunacy Commits
sion to be used by company eXper-
imenting in the manufacture of Ice
and in which he was financially iu-
terested.
Obviously such conduct constitutes &
misuse of public Office. The otficia
must necessarily neglect his public
duties in order to exploit private enter
prises aud by inducing his subordinate
with him he becomes a prey on then
and must inevitably exercise mora
power over them to such a.
extent that discipline suffers and thei
official efficiency is destroyed.

When Herr Hopf and his little blue

The shell man arranged the shells,

There was a quick movement, and
Herr Hopf saw the pea slide under
the shell. He lifted that one, but it
was empty.
''Is der limit?"
"No, sir"
"Vell. bet on each she'll"
He placed a dollar on each of the
three shells.
"Now, | can't lose"
"You are right" And the dealer
again arranged the shells. The Teuton
picked up two empty shells and found
the pea under the third.

NOT IN THE PLAY.
Case Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind.

Cnse Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind.
A short time ago a great historical
play was being given in an Italian
thcater. The king had to read his
speech from the throne. He was sur
rounded by the court. all the repre-
sentative mobiles of the nation, the gov
ernOrs of the provinces and the heads
of the army.
Clad in his magnificent robes Qined
with rabbit skim he stalked majestic
ally across the stage, and. with fitting
hauteur. slowly ascended the steps
leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low. and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
to read the royal speech.
All waited attentively to catch the
words from the royal lips, but his maj
esty found, to his chagrin. that the
roll was blank. The speech was long
and had not been committed to mem
ory.
1t was impossible to get through il
with the aid of the prompter, for he
was too far away to render the need
full service. A bright thought passed
through the royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as if tC
| gather the gist of the speech, he again
folded it and handed it back to the
chancellor with the command:
| "YOu read it,"
The chancellor was somewhat pu
out, but dutifully took the roll anC
opened it. only to discover the roya
pleasantly. whereupOn, again rOllin;
the parchment up and taking from hi
breast the resplendent tin order, h
laid them together at the kings feet
with:
your majesty. as | cannot read til
speech. | tender my resignation" an
walked off the stage.

DANGER FROM OVEREATING.
Insanity Often Caused by Too Liber-
al Indulgence In Food.

1t is well known to the few medical
men that many cases of insanity are
directly due to overeating and the con-
sequent absorption into the circulation
of toxic matters from the intestinal
tract, and melancholia, whether in mild
or severe form, is generally due to this
cause. Violent parOXysms of temper,
whether in children or adults, are often
properly referable to bad state of the
blood from this auto toXemia, as are in
deed the exceedingly eXuberant spirits
of old or young at times. Just as we
observe in alcoholic poisoning, some
individuals are made temporarily jolly
and good natured; others are made
ugly and unreasonable.
In view of this condition of affairs
isn't it rather a wise plan for us all to
consider rather the needs of the or
ganism for food than the mere ques-
ton of palate tickling, to aim to eat
good instead of bad food and enough
of it-that is. not too much-tO have
the conditions about right when we
take our meals; in brief to try and
treat our bodies decently even though
we act from a purely sensual point Of
view? In no other way can we secure
the highest possible degree of pleasure
on the average, while by acting thus
sensibly we may enjoy practical i'm
munity from disease.
The more exercise we take under
proper conditions. the more we are eX-
posed to cold. and the clearer we keep
from excess in clothing the more we
may eat; hence. in order to enjoy the
fullest measure of table pleasures, we
must live actively. wear as little cloth
ing as is consistent with comfort ant
do considerable ''roughing' sometime:
called hardening. With all this We
should take our meals at times wheI
the body or brain is not overtired, ant
when we "have leisure to digest" and
of all things, we should never eat TN
less we are hungry. To eat without al
appetite is self abuse of the mos
stupid sort. since it affords no pleasur
and is productive of disease.-Physica

Heat Radiation.

The tendency Of heat to diffuse itself
is effected by radiation, conduction and
convection. Nearly all dull and dark
substances are good radiators, while
bright, polished surfaces radiate badly.
Some substances conduct heat more
freely than others, silver among the
metals being the best conductor, and
as a unit of measurement is taken at
1000. Compared with silver as a con-
ductor. gold is 9S1, copper S45, zinc
GAL, tin 422. steel 397 and wrought iron
436 Glass, wood, gases, liquids and
resinous substances are bad conduct
ors. Water is such a poor conductor
that if heat is applied to the top it will
boil at the top, while the bottom will
remain cold. - Newcastle England
