that time they did not connect it with
the Barth0lin case. While boy was
chasing sparrOws in the open prairie
at Seventy-fourth and State streets he
stumbled over the nude body of a WO-

only thing on the body identified, Mrs.
Coy, the hairdresser who made it, de-
claring positively that it was one

that DR.. Springer stated as positively
that the body could not have become

Cape Haytien, Hayti, Sept. 9.-Un-

the German gunboat Panther has fired
into and sunk the Hayden gunboat
Crete-a-PieITOt, which was being used
by Admiral I<illick in the service of
General Firmin, the revolutionary as
pirant for the presidency of Hayti.
The destruction of the Crete-a-Pier-
rot, it is presumed, was the direct re-
suit of it's having stopped the German
steamship MarkOmannia Sept. 2,
searched her and seized the arms on
board that had been consigned to the
provisional government Of this repub-
lie. No lives were lost when the Fir
minist boat went down, as the crew
had been given time to escape. The
Crete-a-Pierrot now lies at the bottom
of the harbor of GOnaives, shot full
of holes. She was the sole boat il
General Firmin's navy.
Berlin, Sept 9-The German for

Press that the Haytien provisional
government has communicated to Ger
many that Hayti regarded the Firmin-

stantly to the fund of knowledge of
his profession. He had reached the
age of 81 years. Professor Rudolf Nir-
chow was Il director of the Berlin
Pathologican institute, and one of the
greatest scientists. he had a two-fold
career-one as pathologist and anthro-
pOlOgiSt, and the other as politician.
AS a politician he was Radical,
and a revolutionist of 1850. He was
in violent opposition to Bismarck for
sixteen years. AS a scientist he was
pre-eminent in sanitary matters. So
highly was he regarded by scientific
men that after the revolution of 1S4S-
40 he was only asked by the govern
ment to give up his connection with
the university; but SO necessary was
he that the medical societies insisted
that he should be reinstated. His
books form a medical library in them
selves. He allowed himself but five
hours sleep, working most of the other
nineteen hours.

A Knotty Question.

To read the wise and otherwise
advice of the various journals to
Mr.. Carnegie for the judicious and
benefcent disposal of his great
wealth one would imagine the
writer's had studied the subject.
There is in the light of evolution
and sociology no more knotty ques-
ton. Charity as a rule results in
the propagation of pauperism;
patronage is often twice curst,
cursing him that gives and him
that receives. Mr.. Carnegie is
probably as superior to his advis-
ers in the distribution of his wealth
as he was in it's acquisition. The
proper attitude of the world, if it
cannot initiate, is to uncover it's
head and admire.
