REcEIrED BRUISES AFTER DEATH.

THE AUTOPSY OF DIR. LARMER's BODY REVEALS
NO SIGNS OF FOUL PLAY.
Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon yesterday per-
formed an autopsy on the body of DR.. William j.
Iarmer which was found on Tuesday in the Hud-
son River at e-hundred-and-s sixty ninth-st
When the body discovered certain bruises
on the arms head and body led TO some suspicion
that the physician might have with foul play.
DR. O'ianIons autopsy dscloses the fact that the
bruises were evidently inflicted after death by
drowning and probably caused by the body
coming into contact with rocks and other hard
substances in the river.

MASKS

Wrapped in the solitude of twiIight's hour,
Like tender petals of the unblcomed flower,
Our secret thoughts lie hid, concealed from ali
Whose vulgar gaze would rend the sacred pail
And leave US trembling in the face of fate,
Our bruised, bleeding hearts GisconsOiate.
Alike from friend OF foe thus do we screen
Our lusts and evil passions, and we seem
To all as stars, out beaming on the night,
Or pure, guiltless souls of virgin white,
To those who love US most-we do not dare
To raise the masks so ghastly that we wear.
For all our heartaches, hopes, and secret fears
Lie hidden with our sins and bitter tears,
But let Us trust among all these there be
The pearl Of pearls, a godike charity
For those upon the battlefield of life
Who, like ourselves, are struggling in the strife.
