DIED A RECLUSE.
Strange Career of Uncle of Benz Har-
rison's Widow

A special dispatch to the New York
Times from Port Jervis says: Col. John
H. Lord. for thirty years a recluse, died
at Rio, a mountain settlement ten miles
west of here, yesterday at the age OF
eighty-five years. He was born at Rome,
n. Y, and became a protege of the we'll
known civil engineer, John b. Jarvis after
whom Port Jervis was named and as
sisted him in the construction of the Cro-
ton aqueduct, New York city,
Nearly fifty years ago Col. Lords family
was among the most prominent in north
eastern politics. and he exercised a tremen-
douS power in the policy of the keystone
state. He was a member of the Pennsyl
vania militia, and belonged to Gov. W. F.
Packers staff. At the time his brother,
Russell f. Lord, was at the head of the
management of the now abandoned Della
ware and Hudson canal. Col. Lord was
his lieutenant, and next to him In author
ity. He was an uncle by marriage of Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison's first wife and
blood uncle of his widow.
Some eighty years ago bank was estab-
lished In Honesdale, Pa, and John Neal
was its first cashier. He had a daugh
ter who afterward became the wife of Col.
Lord, Mrs. Meals sister was the wife of
the Rev. DIR. Scott, professor in Washing
ton College, Washington, Pa, and they
had two daughters, Carrie and Elizabeth.
They visited their aunt, Mrs. John f. Lord,
in Honesdale, and one of them, Lizzie,
eventually married Russell F.. Lord, who
had become a widower and was several
years her senior. The other sister was Wis.,
tied in Honesdale by President Harrison,
then a young Indiana lawyer. and their
acquaintance ripened into marriage. Mr..
and Mrs. Russell Lord had daughter who
is the widow of President Harrison
and niece of his first wife.
After the civil war the Lords lost their
prestige and the deceased became irregular
in his habits and finally lost his wealth.
For a number of years he worked at odd
jobs at the late Winthrop w. Gilmans tam
merry in Sullivan county, and in lumber
mills. and suddenly disappeared from his
family and lived apart from his fellow
man in an Isolated cabin in the mountains
west of here. A few years ago the cabin
was burned. and Col. Lord resided with
residents of Rio. He is survived by one son,
a wealthy retired merchant of Philadelphia,
whose repeated offers of home to his
father was refused. Chance visitors to his
cabin found 1t well supplied with books,
and were surprised at his extensive know-
edge.

MARcoNI NOT THE INVENTOR.
Patent Papers Give Credit to italian
Naval Officer.

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
The Saturday Review says a startling de-
movement followed Professor Thompson's
attacks in The Review on the validity Of
the Marconi patents, in, which the professor
said an italian naval officer. named Solari,
was the real inventor of the wireless
telegraph SYSTEM It says:
The Official Journal of the patent office
on July 16 contains a brief notice Of very
unusual character. 1t announces that
Guglielmo MarcoDi who, on September 10,
1901 had filed a patent in his own name
for this invention, now seeks leave to
amend the applicationIby converting it into
an application for patent for an inven-
ton communicated to him from abroad by
the Marquis Luigo Solari of Italy.
The New York Tribtine of today says:
All the preliminary work for the intro
duction Of wireless biography at the navy
yard has been completed. and messages
will be received as soon as the instruments
are put in place. For that purpose the tall
flagstaff near. the entrance of the Sands
street gate has been set apart and altered
to suit the surrounding conditions. A top
gallant mast had to be set up, which now
makes it twice as high above any Of the
surrounding buildings, which might inter-
cept the current. 1t Is stayed from the
truck and topmast head with hemp stays,
which will not attract the electric current
from the wires running to and from the
receiver and transmitter at the top. The
lower stays of steel wire.
Commander Rogers said yesterday that
he could not say when the apparatus would
be in working order, he had not yet
received word from Washington. The first
trial will be from the station now being
set up at the Atlantic Highlands, which
will be one Of the connecting links which
will go to make up the system of wireless
telegraphy along the coast. The Navy De-
partment intends to construct one of these
stations in each Of the navy yards, so
that Warships at sea can send messages
directly to any yard they may be compelled
to go to for emergency repairs, and not
be delayed by the present methods.

MR.. cLEvELAND's GAS STOCK.
Does Not Pay Dividends and He Com
plains Grievously.

A dispatch to the New York World from
Indianapolis yesterday says: To the state
board of tax commissioners today John r.
Pearson, president of the Indianapolis Gas
Company. and Ferdinand Winter, attorney
admitted that ex-President Grover Cleve-
land is a heavy stakeholder in the corpora
ton. and said he is complaining because
dividends are not forthcoming.
Auditor Hart had asked if Mr. Cleveland
were not a heavy stakeholder. From what
Mr.. Pearson and Mr. Winter admitted it
appears that Mr. Cleveland was led into
buying heavily of the company's stock by
his friend E. c. Benedict of New York.
Mr.. Benedict, 1t was said, convinced Mr..
Cleveland that he had a good thing for
him. as at that time the gas field looked as
it If would never fail; but, according to
both Mr. Pearson and Mr.. Winter, the
stock has paid only two dividends and 1t
has no value the market. Bonds are
worth par and draw interest at per cent
but it is said Mr.. Cleveland does not own a
bond.
The ex-Presdent, Mr.. Winter said, is
complaining "grievously' over this condi-
ton of affairs.

MAsoN-DIxoN STONES.
Some of the Missing Boundary Monu-
ments Discovered in a Church.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A number of the missing boundary stones
of the Mason and Dixon line which have
been lost for a NUMBER OF years have been
located near Elkton. Md, and representa-
tives of the United States coast survey
have taken legal steps to recover some of
the missing and historic stones. Three of
the stones are in church and one in the
cellar of an old store. The one in the lat
ter place was put there more than thirty
years ago.
The Mason and Dixon's lille runs from the
Delaware boundary line of Maryland to the
corner where Maryland. West Virginia and
PENNSYLVANIA join. 1t is about 200 miles in
length, and was run between the years of
1862 and 116S by the two English engineers,
Mason and Dixon. When the line was
originally laid stone monuments were
placed at intervals of five miles as far as
the Blue Ridge mountains Beyond this
the line was marked simply by heaps of
stones.

1900 passed law authorizing the resurvey
of the line. The act provided for the CO.

ABNORMAL DEVELOPMENT.
Malformation of the Brain Produces
Intellectual Brilliancy.
From Answers.


Recently a Paris psychologist announced
that he had conclusively proved that mall
formation of the brain produces intellec-
tual brlliancy. The theory is that deformi-
ty, disease or accident causes the abnor-
NAL development of some part of the brain.
and the result is genius. In support of this
several cases are mentioned. 1t is pointed
out that Milton wrote his Paradise Lost"
while he was blind and it is said that the
blindness confined his mind to certain
scope in a manner that made it possible
for him to evolve the great epic.
Cases of somewhat different nature are
shown in the elegant writings of Thomas
de Quincy and Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
both of whom had brains in which the ex-
cessive use of opium had made havoc. DE
Quincy describes his horrible experience
with opium taken in the form of lauda-
mum in his Confessions of an English
Opium Eater" Byron's club foot is seri-
ously advanced as the cause of his lyric
power. and the point is made that Sir Wal
ter Scott's most brilliant work was dctat-
ed from a sick bed. Mozart and Wagner
botE had deformed brains, said to have
been due to disease and bumps while they
were children.

A Dog in a Glove.

From Country Life in America
There is no question that the beagle is q
very old breed. Early Roman accounts OF
England contain references to the beagle,
even by name. Books published from about
1850 to 1910 describe several varieties Of
hounds including 'the little beagle which
may be carried in a mans glove" That
the miniature hound was extremely popular
at that time was evident from Queen Eliza
beth keeping pack which were also said TO
be small enough to put In a glove. This
statement is frequently r.diculed when IL is
not understood that gloves of that period
were not the present-day kind but gaunt-
lets reaching nearly to the elbow. VIVA.

VERESTCHAGIN RETURNS,
Went to Santiago to See San Juan
Hill.

The New York Herald of today says:
Vasilli Verestchagin, painter of battle
scenes who made trip 10 Santiago in or
der to gain an exact idea Of the foliage at
San Juan Hill as it is at this season, re-
turned to this port yesterday on the Ward
line steamship Seguranca.
The painter had visited the battle field in
March of this year and had his painting well
begun when discussion arose as to the ex-
act position Of a certain tree and the color
of Cuban foliage in June.
There were so many to say one thing and
another that the painter finally flung brush
and palette aside and announced that he
would go and see for himself. Upon his re-
turn yesterday he announced that he had
satisfied himself to the color scheme of
the landscape in June, and had also found
the tree, a blood red hyacinth, which is to
be in the foreground of his painting.
Regarding the discussion which has al
ready arisen as to the historical accuracy
OF placing President Roosevelt and his
Rough Riders in the painting and emitting
it THE Battle of San JUAN the painter
explained that in portraying battle scenes
it had ever been his custom to seek central
groups; that in this conflict the assault
was made by three separate columns in as
many different directions, and as it was i'm
possible to show the whole field of action,
he had decided 70 portray the charge Of

caused by the trapspoSition of the words of
