auriaI Of Professor Iucke.

p.s;t--aI Edward 7. Tucke, whose
death vas u,.ed in these columns
yesterday, MAS buried from mis- late
residence Friday afternoon at 800
o'clock. The Episcopal burial service
was rad 10y Mr.. W. L. Jewett and
Judge T. D. Crawford, who himself is
gallant soldier from North Carolina,
made a few brief impromptu remarks
before the body Of Professor Tucke
was laid to its last resting place.
Judge Crawford said that Professor
Tucke graduated very nearly at the
head of his class at Harvard when
only twenty years of age. That he
took up ms residence in North Caro-
lima in the early sos and became one
of the most distinguished educators
in that state. That he was thorough
believer i'm the doctrine of the rights
of the states" and when the tOcsin of
war sounded, he was among the first
10 enlist. and entered his name as
private soldier, having Joined Colonel
Ransom's regiment of cavalry. He
was early promoted on the field of
battle for personal bravery. Later in
the war he led a cavalry charge which
is said to have been unparalleled for
dash and splender even among the
many acts of heroism that that strife
gave rise to. Judge Crawford's re-
marks were a. touching as they were
spontaneous aud brought tears to the
eyes IF many of the little band who
were gathered there.
The pail bearers were: DR.. w. H.
Powers, Messrs. George Pasteur, W.
f Sinclair, Jesse Nicely, Ralph Bird |
sey, and John NJ. Taylor, most of
whom were his scholars.
His remains were buried in the |
yard Of his late residence and later on |
will be moved to North Carolina for
final interment.

Wins Their Case.

During the latter part Of last sum
mer the United Stats pOstoffice au.
thorities sprsng a sensation in the
arrest of Mrs. Helen Wilmans-POs
her husband, Col. G. G. Post, and bel
sOn-in-law, Mr.. Charles F. Bergman
The parties were arrested at the
Science Temple at SeabreeZe and
taken to Jacksonville for trial. They
waived examination and later on the
United States grand jury found six
teen indictments against them for
using the United States mails for
fraudulent purposes.
Mr.. Otis T. Green, of this city, was
employed by Colonel and Mrs. Post
and Mr.. Bergman as their leading
counsel.
Mr.. Green entered upon the case
with great deal Of zest and appeared
before the postmaster general at
Washington In the interests Of his
clients, and won for them a signal
victory, as he has likewise done before
Judge Locke Of the United States
district court.
Judge Locke rendered decision in
the case Wednesday. He said in
order to constitute valid Indictment
1t was necessary to sllege that the de-
PENDANT had devised q scheme to de-
fraud, and had intended to effect the
same by opening or intending to open
correspondence with other persons
through the postoff1ce establishment;
and in carrying out such scheme had
deposited or received q letter or packet
or writing through some pOstOtfice Of
the United States. Although the al
legations OF the indictment were suf-
ficient to show that the defendant had
received correspondence and letters
the mail, and that the scheme
devised was to be carried out through
the postOffice establishment Of the
United States the court held that the |
indictment had not clearly, directly !
and positively alleged the fraudulent |
intention of the defendant In devising
such scheme, or that she was not able
to do what she had promised to do,
md that she herself did not believe

Swallows His Money,

We often hear Of man swallowing
a fortune, in a fgurative sense, in wild
and riotous living, and out in the rural
regions they sometimes apply to such
gormands the expressive phrase, HE
has swallowed a farm, stones and all"
Numerous cases are on record also
where persons have concealed precious
stones in their mouths and have some
times swallowed them to evade the
scrutiny of custom house inspectors.
Most wonderful of all, however, is the
story related in the London Lancet Of
an Afghan who actually swallowed all
his movable property in the shape of
fifty-nine Kabuli rupees, equal to $12
in American money, in order to avoid
a tax-gatherer. The details are given
at length in The Lancet, where the case
is recorded, because OF the great surgi
cal interest attaching to the removal
Of the coins from the mans stomach.
