Percy \. Bliss displayed pho.
tographs of the scene.
DR.. Harvey b. Gaylord, who
performed the autopsy Oh Pres
ident Mckiuley'S body, said the
primary cause of death was
sgunshot wound" and that the
actual cause was the "absorption
of the brokendown matter of the
pancreaS" resulting from the pas
sage Of the bullet.
Dr. Herman Mynter, who as
sisted in the surgical operation
on the President soon after the
shooting, said the bullet was not
found and extracted at that time
was because the Presidents
temperature was rising. He said
the bullet had not passed through
the pancreaS. The reason that
the bullet was not found at the
autopsy was that the Presidents
relatives objected to the mutila-
ton of the body.
DR.. Matthew ID. Mann. who
performed the operation at which
DIR. Mynter assisted. testified
that it would probably have re.

the benefit Of any doubt as to his

District Attorney Thomas G..
Penney asked the jury to bring

degree. Judge Truman G. White,
who presided, charged the jury
briefly.

preventing the assassin from firing

A COLUMBUS STATUE.
The story of a Brass Founder
Transformation of GnmbrInus.

A story is told of brass founder
who was one day visited by n friend
acting as agent for one of the cities of
Central America. The agent asked
what it would cost to cast n statue Of
Christopher Columbus for the public
square of the city. The amount was
far in excess of the sum which the man
had at his disposal. He was about
leaving in despair of being able to Sc
cure the statue when the brass founder
snid:
Come back in the junk yard and let
us see what can be found there"
He went back, and the brass founder
showed him colossal statue of Gam
brinus, recently removed from the
front Of large brewing establishment.
Under his feet rested beer kcg. in his
hand was Il lkrge and Overlooking
schooner, his beard was long and shay
gy, and about his brows was wrcathcd
garland of barley and hops.
"Why, this Will never do" said the
commission merchant. 81 want n stat
ue of Columbus"
"Wait until | have touched this one
up. Come back in about week and
see what you think of 1t. If it suits
you, you can have 1t for the amount
you have ut your disposal"
AS soon MS the visitor had gone the
brass founder set two men ut work on
the figure of Gambrinus. They re-
moved the beer kcg from under his
right foot and placed there an anchor
and coil of rope. from his hand they
removed the goblet and substituted Il
globe. with the continents traced on
it; from his brow they took the wreath
of barley and hops and substituted Il
wreath of laurel and then proceeded to
trim up his whiskcrs. The finishing
touch consisted in putting at the base
of the statue "CristOfOr0 Colombo"
When the commission merchant came,
he was delighted with the figure and,
purchasing it, shipped 1t to the Central
American city, where it adorns the
public square and is looked upon with
vencration by the citizens OF that town.

FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS.
Particularly Guarded Against by
Firms That Handle Cotton.


Speaking of insurance Matters"
said n listener. II suppose the plain,
old fashioned nail has caused more
fires In the big establishments where
machinery is used in many and com
plicated ways than any other little
thing in existence. The only thing
needed is for it to come in contact with
some other hard material with sufti-
cicnt force to cause a spark and heat
generation. Nails have really produced
4 heavy per cent Of the cotton fires of
the country. During recent years, on
account of steps taken by the owners
and conductors of the larger cotton and
byproduct plants at the instance of in
surance men, the nail has not been
such prolific producer of fires.
"a way has been found, for instance,
in cotton gins, cotton mills and In
plants where cottonseed are put
through manufacturing processes, of
extracting nails and other weighty and
flinty substances that may find lodc-
ment in these inflammable products.
Gravity is the natural force used. Nails
and rocks and materials of this kind
nre heavier than cotton and its by
products, and they have n tendency to
force their way to the bottom of the
heap. BY allowing these products to
pass over rolling belt arrangement
these heavier materials filter toward
the bottom and are finally extracted,
so that when the cotton or the cotton
seed passes through the grind in the
various manufacturing processes there
Is but little danger from fire so far as
these things are concerned. New Or
