THE AUTHOR OF "RELIGIO MEDI.

AS one of the genuine literati OF the
medical profession, the author of the
Relgio Medici is being made much of
In these days. We confess to always
having had a little dislike of old Sir
Thomas Browne, if for nothing else but
his Grass and over-weening credulity.
We realize that we run a little risk in
expressing sentiment so out of accord
with the fashionable judgments of the
day. Sir Thomas Browne Is at the
present moment de rigueur. 1t is quite
the mode to pay tribute to him. He is
a sort of idealized seventeenth century
apostle of orthodox theology and ortho-
dox medicine in one and the same book.
The fact that Sir Thomas Browne be-
ieved in witches and devils should, we
admit, be a source Of amusement rath-
err than cause of criticism. For those
persons who like demons the Religio
Medici has message which they can
easily understands; and for those other
persons who do not recognize the devil
the book can at least serve to provoke
a smile But we protest that it Is no
excuse for Sir Thomas that he lived in
the times of witchcraft, Old Montaigne
lived even before him, and Montaigne's
intellectual horizon was far wider than
Browne seemed able to enjoy in the lat
itude and longitude of Norwich. The
author of the essays was not a super
stititious provincial and he need ask no
favors of posterity on the score of his
times. The two men are far apart in
breath and DEPTH and in our Judgment
Montaigne is of vastly more profit for
medical readers than Sir Thomas
Browne.
The latest writer to try his pen on the
sage of Norwich is Sir Frederick
Treves, who uses him and his book as
sort of text with which to point NOR
al for medical students. Anything that
Sir Frederick Treves writes is of inter-
est now, and his comparison between
the old and the new in medical prac-
tice is especially informing for Begin
ners. The address was delivered at
University college, Liverpool, and is
published in the British Medical Jour-
nal for October IS. 1t is. we believe,
the latest commentary on what may be
called the confessions of a wise and
amiable demono-maniac.-P philadelphia

WALLTNGFORD.

AS far as the weather was concerned
yesterday was a dismal failure for
Thanksgiving day, but although it was
unpleasant outside, there were the usu-
al pleasant family reunions inside in
ali sections of the town. There were
no outdoor sports, as usual in other
years. Quite a number took in the
matinees in New Haven, but taking it
all in all, yesterday was a very quiet
day.
Patrolman Reilly had quite a lively
tussle with Frank Gibbons at the depot
yesterday morning. Gibbons was in
toxicated and lying on the platform.
Station Agent Parr sent over after Po-
liceman Reilly, who was soon on hand
Gibbons was ugly and refused to 60
with the policeman. He started in for
fight, but soon got worsted and was
taken to the lookup by way of the cleo
trio car Trial this morning at usual
time.

was in the borough yesterday renewing
old acquaintance.
"Papa's Baby" will be the attraction

There was comparatively little travel
on the streets yesterday, day or even
ing, owing to the unpleasant weather,
and about everybody stayed at home
and visited with their family.
The looked-for clearing weather pre-
dicted by the weather bureau for yes
terday failed to materialize, much to
the disgust of everybody.
Mr.. and Mrs. e. Frost Knapp, of Tor
rington, were the guests yesterday of
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Northrop, of Cen
ter street.
The only real excitement in town yes
terday was the killing of a dog by an
express train yesterday afternoon. The
loss is not great to the borough, as
there are plenty more of the kind left
about.

DEAD AT THE POKER TABLE.

Sat Down as Spectator His Death
Was Not known for Two Hours.
Wednesday night a dead man sat in
a game Of cards for two hours in the
saloon of James F. Herrich at Fights
and Locust streets in Quincy.
He had taken a seat as a spectator
between two of the players, and while
the cards were circling about the table
he was dealt the cold hand of death.
His head sank forward on his chest
and he seemed to be doing. Once the
corpse swayed against one OF the play
ers, who pushed it back to an upright
posture, with the remark:
Brace up, cornrade, and have look
at the game"
The man was Fred w. Reinke, aged
sixty-four, a veteran of the Soldiers
Home. AS he sat at the table with his
white head bowed his companions
thought that he was sleeping.
Two hours after he had taken a seat
at the table one of the card players at
tempted to arouse him to show him an
unusually good hand Of cards.
wake up! Look at this!' exclaimed
the cara prayer.
The player pushed back Reinke's
head and held the cards before his face.
The open, vacant, staring eyes Of a
corpse were revealed to the men about
the table. They pushed back their
chairs Mortified.
Great God" exclaimed the man
with the good hand. He's dead!"
Chairs were overturned, the cards
were scattered upon the floor and the
corpse sank forward against the tagle.
When Reinke walked into the resort
about half-past five o'clock he told the
proprietor's wife that he was sick and
asked her to make him a cup of coffee
and then sat down at a table where a
number of men We're playing cards. 1t
was his last request on this earth.
Mrs. Hedrich told him she would have
to boil the coffee first. About half an
hour later she sent her fifteen-year-old
daughter, Florence, into the room with
the coffee. The young woman noticed
that his head had dropped to one side
and he had assumed an attitude of one
fallen asleep His comrades brushed
against him and now and then one OF
them asked him not to crowd Reinke
made no reply. The game went on I'M

had been sitting beside him at the Ia
