Two Famous Orators.

As was anticipated. a vast multitude assembled from all quarters to hear he famous orator. This was the only occasion on which saw Dr. Chalmers. The sight was an imposing one. The ,ttitude of the audience WAS deeply 'everential. and as he gradually gath red force and fire as he proceeded 1t gas greatly impressed. The scene was ine for the pencil of the artist-the old nan eloquent, surrounded by hundreds if rustic admirers, awed to stiffness " the magic of his genius. while he himself. energized with mighty pas 'ion, his face fiecked with foam, like horse which has been driven at its utmost speed. And when amen" was pronounced deep sigh was heaved, md the multitude silently stole away" 10 ponder on their path and remark a their homes on the unwonted expe- fence of the day.
 The only other speaker I have seen mder the same kind of excitation vas Professor Wilson Christopher Sorth). Some of his lectures were poor and dry enough. but In others he vas eloquent and poetical In high de- gree. He seemed to speak with his whole body, as wen as with his whole soul. His eye. 'in a fine frenzy roll lng," burned like ball of fire, and the students sat spellbound under the pow ar of their great teacher. To have seen and heard such men as Dr. Chal- ners and Professor Wilson at their pest and greatest is a memory to be cherished. There were giants In those iays.-Scotsman.

BoOZ COURTS REPORT.
Declares That Haxing Did Not Kin
 Cadets.

Washington, Jan. 9.-While Oscar l.. Booz of Pennsylvania was hazed when a cadet at the Military academy his death was caused by tuberculosis, and the treatment he underwent was not respon- sible for the disease. Charges made by the boy to his parents were untrue. Nei- ther is there any foundation for the ale gation that Cadet John Breth's death was due to hazing.
 This is the finding of the court of in quiry which investigated the charges made by the parents of the two boys. The court specifically finds that haEing has occurred at the Military academy. but not so brutal as has been observed in civil institutions throughout the coup- try.
 In view of the fact that the statute of limitations applies to the cadets who participated in the hazing of Booz and of the further fact that the cadets who gave testimony damaging To themselves could not be prosecuted on such testimo- ny the recommendation is included in the findings that there be no further pro- ceedings.
 Hazing is strongly condemned and rec ommendation made that stringent meas ures be taken to stamp out the practice.
 Adjutant General Corbin received the report of the court from Major General Brooke, its president, and immediately laid it before Secretary Root. The sec retary had not time to carefully consider the findings and declined to make them public.
 It is known, however, that as a result of the disclosures resulting from the in- vestigation the department proposes to adopt stringent measures which, it is be- lieved, will stamp out hazing. It is em- phatically stated that if further cases of hazing come to the attention of the de- partment the participators therein will be immediately dismissed from the acade-

can was all bows and smiles and conn., dence, and as he was known to be an adept with the knife a groan went about the circle as the two stepped for ward to open the fight.
 That duel was something to be re- membered for all time. From the blind mans movements no one could have told that he was sightless. For four five-minute rounds they fought, with only a few trifilng scratches on either side, but if there was any ad- vantage it was on the side of the Amer ican. who had the full sympathy of the crowd, Mexicans and all. When they came out for the fifth round Don wink ed and chuckled and said it was time he began slicing ears off. Hines had him located to hairs breadth. and as they faced each other the American leaped forward like flash. caught the knife on his and threw 1t to the left, and next instant his own blade had found the heart of the man who had blinded him. We who were only five feet away could not follow the move ment, so swiftly was 1t made, but 1t was successful one and of course ended the fight. Hines told me that during the fight he seemed to see every move and motion made by the other md from the first felt sure of victory. A public purse amounting to over a thousand dollars was raised for him on the spot, and about five hundred was subsequently added, and he was sent east to some institution and is to- lay a teacher of the blind and a man too tender hearted to kill a fly.

 Without doubt the most singular duel that ever took place In the United years ago. It was several years pre- yious to the first Pacific railroad and while yet every pound of goods going to the far west had to be hauled across the great plains by freight wagon or sent around Cape Horn by sea.
 Two men in q Rogers x Blair outfit fell In love with the same girl in Santa Fe. One was an American named Jack Hines, and the other was a full blooded Mexican who was simply known as Don. The girl was a half breed and none of us outside the two rivals thought her worth fighting over. l dQ not think she really cared for either man, but her game was CO., quette and keep them on the ragged edge and make the most she could out of 1t. She received many valuable presents from the rivals, and 1 know that Hines lent her father money which was never returned. For time the rivalry was a subject for joking among us, but when we saw that ei- ther man was ready to fly at the oth- CTS throat on the smallest provocation the case became serious. They were not only good men for the outfit, each earning the highest wages paid, but they were game men, and if they came together nothing was surer than that one would be killed.
 The affair had gone on for seven or eight months before the outbreak came. We were in Santa Fe, making ready for a start east, when the Mexican one

Successful Test of Marconi System.


 Paris, Jan. 9.-In the midst of a chan nel snowstorm, as the Belgian steamer Clementine crossed from Ostend to Dow CT yesterday, ahhnal official trial of the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy took place, with complete success. A dozen Belgian government officials were on board to witness the trial before rec ommending the system for adoption on all the Belgian channel packet boats. They were quite satisfied with the day's achievements. In spite of the storm messages were regularly exchanged be- tween the Clementine and Ostend until the boat drew alongside Dover pier. The result will be the installation of the sys- tenn on the Belgian boats. It is said the British authorities have prohibited the use of the Marconi system on English boats. Mir. Marconi now contemplates establishing stations all round the Eng fish coast to enable vessels at any dis tanec up to 50 miles from land to com. municate with the shore,

 There are two men of the same name in the directory. One is a learned savant. the other a patron of the turf and the pool boxes, who spends very little time In the city.

 He rang and was admitted to a fiue leman had a table covered with open books.

 But 'Bill' had slipped by the collar md was racing down the hall.
