The Norfolk District Conference.

The Conference, taking in Norfolk
J City, the Eastern Shore of Virginia
aud the Eastern Shore OF Maryland
as far north as the Great Choptank
river, met at Oak Grove Church,
Keller Charge, July S0th, 1901. There
was quite discussion as to th e name
OF the District. When the presiding
Bishop in an annual conference
makes an appointment, he aflixes the
name of the appointment. This is
generally done after consulting the
Presiding Elders in cabinet meeting.
Last year the District was called
Norfolk and Eastern Shore Dis
trict." Without mentioning the mat.
ter, when Bishop Duncan made the
last appointments he read it out
Norfolk District" Whether he
meant for brevity's sake to change
the name or whether 1t was an over
sight, could not be determined Some
thought, II he meant to change the
name, the Eastern Shore ought to
protest But, as the Presiding Elder
thought there would be no trouble
on that score, nothing was done.
Rev. w. E. Judkins ID. ID the Pre-
siding Elder OF the District, presided |
over the body, and the first day. at
the present writing has passed; and,
excepting the oppressive heat. every
thing has gone on very pleasantly.
w. j. Twilley and w. w. Vicor
were elected secretaries. AS Mr. Vicor
did not get there the first day, Rev
Graham II. Lambeth was elected in
his place.
If there is a full attendance the
body is quite large one. The morn
ng session opened with small at

n quite an addition, and there are in
locations of fair attendance. Much

useful in a scientific way as is the
Pasteur institute in France or the
Koch institute. Facilities for original
investigation in medical science will
be furnished, both with view to get
ting new information and to applying
existing knowledge to the treatment
and prevention of disease.
Next fall, it is said, efforts will be
made to solve problems of medical sci
ence which have thus far baffied the
profession. Experienced men Will m
dertake this work, and no expense
will be spared to make the results of
wide value. No effort to get quick re-
suits will be made. The object will be
to obtain by thorough study results
which will be of lasting value. Mr..
Rockefeller and his confidants be-
lieve there is a broad field for such
research. and it is his purpose to have
this field developed to the utmost
Indications are that the 100000
which Mr. Rockefeller has given as
the capital of the new institute is a
trifling sum compared to what he
contemplates giving ultimately to the
same cause. The plan involves the
establishment later of permanent
home with endowment support. The
work to be taken up is one about the
Importance of which there is no ques-
tion in the minds of the medical fra
ternity.
Heads of the various pathological
laboratories will have general charge
of the investigation, whether they hap
pen to be directors of the institute or
not. Periodically the directors, whose
joint judgment will be the sole regula-
tor Of the expenditure of the 100000,
will meet to discuss the result of the
work, and will jointly give out the in
formation which it may have devel-
oped through the original channels,
such as articles in the medical Journ-
ais, or an address, which one of the
directors may make before a medical
body on behalf of his associates.
The work may go for year or two
before definite plans are made for a
permanent institution. But it is ex-

A QUESTION OF vERAcITY.
NIr. Allen Denies That Heistand Ever
Spoke to Him About stock in
Hemp Company.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Mr. Charles
81. Allen, former assistant SC cretary
of the navy and later governor of
Porto Rico, was witness Saturday
before the senate military affairs COM
mittee in the Heistand investigation.
He declared in the most emphatic
manner that he never had had any
connection with the proposed hemp
company. He added that he had not
taken and had not been asked to take
any stock in such company or COM
bination. He also asserted that in
no circumstances would he have taxi
en- stock or engaged in any such bust
ness. This testimony contradicted
that of Col. Heistand who had said
that he (Heistan0 had approached
Assistant Secretary Allen and asked
him to take stock and Allen said he
would if it were all right.
Gov. Allen said he had no recollec-
ton whatever of such a conversation
with Heistand on that subject.

Bids Considered.

Bids for the mechanical construction,
roofing and skylight work at the state
capitol were considered by the capitol
commission. On complete mechanical
construction the lowest bidders are w.
l. Gray & Co., of Minneapolis. They
are also the only bidders who will fur
nish any articles of Minnesota manu-
facture. For that reason many are in
terested In seeing the contract go to
them. The bid of Allan Black & Co. E,
which on it's face is about the same,
does not include Corliss engines, which
are specified. They add So, 900 to their
figures for Corliss engines, which bring
them up to S37s,6OO, as against $372,-
OILS submitted by Gray & Co.
The Corliss engines on which Gray
& Co. are figuring are made by the
Twin City Iron Works. The electric
generators and motors under the same
bid would be supplied by the Electric
Machinery company of Minneapolis.

body was hurriedly inferred along with
the bodies of numerous victims of an
epidemic. He died at the age of "a
and was buried on stormy night in
disease, in ST. Marks cemetery, in vi
emma.
Owing to the panic prevailing because
of the epidemic there were no obse-
quies. The exact resting pace of Mo-
zart's body was known onlyt to grave
digger called Joseph Rothmayer.
Rothmayer was a skilled musician. and
a great admirer of Mozart, and in or
der to prevent the body from being
stolen he wrapped long wires around
the coffin
Some time afterward Rothmayer,
animated by musical enthusiasm, sur
reptitiously opened the grave and stole
the skull. He kept it as a sacred relic
until his death, when it became the
property of one Radschopf, his success
sor.
Both these men maintained the
greatest secrecy about their CHASTITY
treasure. Joseph Hyrtl, brother of the
celebrated anthropologist, became the
next owner of the skull. Hyrtl was a
musician of renown and an ardent adj
mirer of Mozart, and Raaschopf gave
him the skull as mark of esteem, one
of the most extraordinary presents
ever given by one person to another.
On his deathbed only did Hyrtl re-
veal the secret. He then told his
brother Joseph. The latter had the
Uranium carefully prepared and placed
on velvet cushion under glass cover.
With his own hand Joseph Hyrtl in
scribed the following words on the
temporal bone: #*
'Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
: "Gestorben 17Ol geboren 1885,
"Musa vitat mort! Horaz!"
In this condition Mozart's skull is
now to be seen at Moedling.

up any remark he might care to make
in public boarded an uptown Broad

other night. The car was filled, but
the man happened to get in row
which held only four passengers.
None of them made any sign of an
indication to move up and give him
a seat. He limited repeatedly, but re-
ceived no encouragement, and finally
said, gruff1y, SO as to be heard by ev-
cry passenger in the car:
"These benches are made for five
human beings or four car hogs.
His rebuke caused a general laugh,
which was quickly turned on him
when one of the four men arose to
leave the car. As he stepped off he
remarked:
s'You are mistaken. These benches
were made for four-three human
beings and one car hog. Take your
seat."-N. Y. Times.
