DUDE TO A PAUPER.
!" AL" C1aggett to End His Days an
Outcast on Blackwell's Island.
Was Once Known as the 4Beau Brum-
mel" of Broadway, But Extrava-
gance and Intemperance
Were His Undoing.

When the charities department boat
made its regular trip to Blackwells
island the other morning the most
notable pauper on board was Albert
Claggett. Few men in New Y ork city
ever rose more rapidly. attained bust
ness and social prominence and then
lost all in SO short a time. Claggett a
dozen years ago was the associate of
some of the wealthiest and brightest
men in the metropolis. He is now a
pauper, an inmate Of the alcoholic
ward of Bellevue hospital, and. as he
described it when taken t % Bellevue,
"a man without a home"
Twenty five years ago ZAP Claggett,
a young man, finely eduea ted, fashion
ably dressed, good-looking and always
entertaining. made many friends and
a large income as an expert tea faster.
He was connected with one of the
largest tea importing housesin Water
street. His polished manners and cor
rect dress won him acquain tances rap
idly He became so valuable to his en-
ployers that his income as tea faster
soon amounted to more than $4,000 a
year. From an expert faster of tea
AP' Clagge a few years later became
an enthusiastic faster of wine. In fact,
he tasted tea less and wine more and
more, as the years rolled along. He
said he could find only IN champagne
a proper relief from the effects of so
much tea tasting. He became agent
for a wine firm, and then his interest
IN tea. ended.
Fifteen years ago Claggett earned
the title of s'the Beau BrummeI'' Of
Broadway. He was familiar figure
in Delmonico's, and many a party of
guests at the homes of the Wander
bilts, Astors, Stevenses and other
wealthy families found cap Claggett
prince of entertainers He was the
recipient of many invita- tions to select
functions, and was often a guest at
the country places of wealthy New
Workers or aboard their yachts.
Shabbily dressed, bearing every evi-
dence of vagrancy, Claggett was
picked up in the street at Madison ave-
nue. and Twenty-seventh street. He
was under the influence of LIQUOR and
was sent to Bellevue hospital. tits be-
lleved he had been sleeping in Madison
Square park for several nights before
pelng taken to the hospital.

New Name for a College

The forty-third annual commence
ment of Northwestern university at
Evanston, Ill. was memorable as the
time at which was first broached the
idea of changing the name of the in
stitution from that which it now bears
to Deering university, in honor of Will
liam Deering, president of the board
of trustees Expression of the feeling
which has been growing among the
alumni and friends of the institution
was made by Prof. Charles W. Pear
son, president of the Alumni associa-
tion, at the annual banquet of that or
ganization preceding the conferring
of degrees.

RICHES BAR TO ART.
French Critic Blames Bad Taste o1
Wives Of American Millionaires.
Declares That Though American Art
Is Superior to That of England, 1t
Is Backward Because of In
artistic Purchases.


Jean Beraud, the French artist and
critic, is out in an interview in regard
to American art.
Modern art, M. Beraud says, is dec
adent, especially that of England,
which has gone rapidly downfin
American art is superior to the Eng
lish, though it has not as ye t struck the
characteristic note, being over
influenced by European ideas.
The Americans, M. Berand says, ex-
eel in a certain electrical quality of
execution, but the American million
aires are somewhat responsible for the
baclcwardnes of American art because
their purchases are influenced by their
wives, whose demands are devoid of
taste.
The American milhonaires, M.
Beraud declares. possess gross concep-
tions and buy in the spirit of the ped
dler and not for real love or appre-
citation of art, He expressed the opin-
ion that the time has come when the
United States should establish ma
tional salon.
M. Berand agrees with the senti-
ments of the delegates of the Young
Mems Christian association conven-
ton at Boston that nude pictures
should not be exhibited in public
places, though it would be absurd to
exclude them from art museums. He
thinks the religious spirit tends to de-
press art. The great masters in reli-
glouss communities except Michael. An
geIo had the pagan spirit in direct
transition from the Greeks.
Although M. Beraud has never been
IN America, he is well known here and
his name has been given to race horse
and steamer.

CENSUS OF eoNsUMPT1vEs.
New York State board of Health to
Make Record of Those Suffering
from the Disease.

A census of the consumptives in
New York state is soon to be taken
by DIR. Daniel Lewis, state commits
sioner of the state board Of health.
1t will be the first census of the kind
ever taken by this state, and one of
the most important from physi-
clans and a layman's point of view.
The records IN the majority of medi-
cal libraries show. it is said. that
many boards of health of large cities
have tried to learn the number of
persons suffering with tuberculosis
within the territory over which they
have control, but none of the statis-
tics regarding consumption indicates
that any effort has been made to take
the census of tuberculous persons in
any state or in a large area inhabited
by several million people. The CEN
sus about to be, taken in New York
state is only for the purpose of learn
ing the number of consumptives in
the state as far as possible, and the
revealing of other facts relating to
the disease which will probably be of
great Importance to physicians and
surgeons in every part of the world.
The results of these statistical tables
will reveal to the commissioner Of
health and to the public whether con-
sumption is on the increase or wane,
and other valuable data.

FALLS FROM SKIES.
Photographers Quick Wit and
Steady Nerve Save from Death.
Ascends in Balloon to Take Picture
When Car Breaks from Gas Bag
Reaches Ground Uninjured
and Tells of His Experiences.

George r. Lawrence, the adyent,1r-
Gus photographer who takes snap
shots at the earth from the sky, fell
2oo feet from a broken balloon at
Chicago the other day, got upon his
1eet without a bruise or scratch, and
went about his business as uncon-
cernedly as if such things happened
to him every day.
He had ascended $50 feet and taken
several pictures and was being hauled
down when he heard the ropes of the
netting above him swapping. The gas
bag was released and scared away
and he started with rush earthward.
Mr.. Lawrence relates his experience
as follows:
Il had a camera in my hand" he
said, land put it down at the first
sign of danger. Then I figured that
L must try to fall as easily as pos
sible. | grasped the two side bars
above the platform, and held them
fast all the way down, managing to
keep my balance SO that the platform
acted like parachute and broke the
force of the fall.
4 was afraid that if my legs were
stiff my bones would be telescoped
and driven through me, so I bent all
my joints slightly, keeping my mus
cIes perfectly stiff, however. AS I
approached the ground I raised my
self, on my toes, and / was in that
position when [ struck. The plat
form. hit the ground, tilted just a
little, but almost as fat as when I
started to fall.
81 collapsed like rag, of course,
when I hit, but I got up at once, and
found [ hadn't bruise except a very
slight abrasion on my right knee that
doesn't count. On the way down I
was not scared or troubled about the
outcome, knowing that the only
thing for me to do was to keep that
platform straight. I thought of a
lot of things, though, while was fall
ling, and don't want to do it again,
but believe from my experience that
man could fall a great deal farther
than 200 feet without harming him
self, if he knew how to do it,
Mr.. Lawrence hit a brick pavement,
and the crowd of stockyards en-
ployes and his own assistants on the
ground rushed up, expecting to find
the life crushed out of him. They
could hardly convince themselves that
he was unhurt.

He Finds Historic Relics

J. G. Falcon, Chicago diver, made
the greatest find of relies the other
day ever known on Lake Champlain,
in Vermont. He visited the spot
where the schooner Royal Savage,
commanded by Gen. Benedict Arnold,
was sunk in 1776 by the British, and
he secured three gun carriages and
30 cannon balls and shot. Two of the
gun carriages will be sent to the
Smithsonian institution at Washing
ton, D. c.. and the other has been
given to the city of Burlington.

Morgan BUYS = Paintipp

J. Pierpont Morgan has made an
other great art purchase. He has
just acquired Sir Joshua Reynolds
famous portrait group, Lady Delma
and Her Daughters" He bought the
picture from the dealer, Charles
Wertheimer. This portrait, which
stands high among Reynolds mas
terpieces and is an extremely attrac-
tive work, changed hands at Chris ties
auction-room nine years ago at $685.
sooo- Mr.. Morgan is now said to have
paid $4,000 for it. Reynolds painted
it in 1880 for Lady Delma, who was
a sister Of the earl of Carlisle and a
great beauty Reynolds got s1,o5o
for it.

AIimony No Bankruptcy Debt.


Discharge in bankruptcy, according
to decision rendered by the state
supreme court at Springfield, H., does
not relieve a husband from the obli-
cation to pay ahmony to his divorced
wife. The decision was in the case Of
Alta /. Deem against Charles Bloomer,
coming on appeal from Mercer county.
In reversing the decision of the appel
late court and upholding the circuit
court ruling the supreme court says:
AGmony cannot be regarded as a
debt owing from the husband to the
wife which may be discharged by an
order in bankruptcy, whether the ali
mony accrues before or after the bank
ruptcy proceedings. The duty which
the Law imposes upon a husband and
father to support his wife and chill
dren is not such a debt as is contem-
plated by the bankruptcy act It is
social obligation as well as a pecu-
mary liability; it is founded upon pub
lie policy and is for the good Of So
ciety.

To Honor .Father OF Pharmacy.

A national research laboratory of
pharmacy may be built in one of the
leading cities in this country in mem
ory of William Proctor. Jr., of Phila-
delphia, who died about 80 years ago.
He was one of the best known pharma-
cists of his day, and by some persons
now living he has been affectionately
called the father of pharmacy
Something is to be done in the near
future to honor his memory for the re-
suits he obtained in his efforts to en-
large his knowledge of pharmacy and
to elevate the calling of the pharma-
cists. The suggestion that labora-
tory be built in honor of Mr.. Proctor
was made by Dr. A. II. Brundage, of
Brooklyn, and quickly gained favor
with the members of the New York
State Pharmaceutical association.

William, the Hohenzollern, has
many troubles ordinary mortals wot
not Of. Among others, for instance,
is that of the women Of his empire.
He can't keep them in the place he
would put them. Some time ago the
emperor declared that women should
confine themselves to cooking, church
and children. Be it said for the Ger
man woman there are no more faith
full wives and mothers in the world.
Kirch and kinder are not neglected.
But they have ideas of their own. In
Berlin II young women are now TAX
ing the gymnasium course of study
for women. They are not permitted
to graduate, but are given certificates
equivalent in effect to the diplomas
given young men. Does not this con-
stitute lese majestic? Any way it is
apprehended, should William live as
long as his grandfather he will see the
day when he will be proud of tie edu.

most fulsome manner, without having
read his works. Then had to learn
to recite portions of his poems by
heart, and in doing so to give the
verses as much as possible with a
Scotch accent. have had to walk
without my hat and with the rain
pouring down upon my unprotected
head as leader Of a procession in hon.

stances refuse with genuine delight

Sugar is a substance that dlssolves
easily and in considerable quantity III
water. When in solution it easily pass
es through animal's membrane by
osmosis, and so the question or It's
absorption seemed simple enough.
The disease diabetes showed. how
ever. that sugar might exist very
plentifuly in the blood and yet the nll-
triton of an individual suffer very
much for the lack of 1t. Something
else besides it's mere presence In the
system, was necessary to secure Its
consumption by the tissues.
Bernard thought that the liver was
active in the consumption of sugar and
that disease of this organ caused dia-
betes. He therefore secured some of
the blood going to the liver Of living
animal and some Of the blood that was
just leaving it. To his surprise. the
blood leaving the liver contained more
sugar than that entering it.
After assuring himself that his OBJ
seryations were correct, he tried his
experiments in different ways. He
found that even in the blood leaving
the liver of an animal that had been
fed only on substances containing nc
sugar, sugar could be demonstrated
Even in fasting animal the liver 1t.
self and the blood leaving it showed

The only possible conclusion from
this was that the liver was capable OF
