no DETERMINE A MANS SANITY.
Physicians Examine His Brain Six Months
After Death.

ROCHESTER, Sept. lis it possible to
determine a mans sanity by an examina-
ton Of the brain six months after death2
This is the question which Supreme Court
jury in Monroe county will have to answer.
John J. Kalb, who died in August 1902,
was well known in business circles In Rocl.ei-
ter. His widow is dissatisfied with the
provisions Of his will and secured an order
from the court permitting her to have
his body exhumed, so that the brain might
be examined by experts to prove that he
was insane and incapable of making q
true will
Last January the body was taken from the
grave, and in the presence OF the cemetery
superintendent, four or Ave workmen and
att orney representing other beneficiaries
Of the will, the doctor engaged by the widow
performed an autopsy. The body was
propped up in a sitting post lure by means
Of two boards.
The facts about the unusual autopsy
were brought out when the attorneys for
the defence asked tho Court to compel
the plaintiff to permit them to examine
the portions OF the brain which are 10 be
used at the coming trial. The Court granted
the ORDER saying that both sides should
have an oppoItun y 10 benefit by the hnd-
ings of the physician.
The physician said that he found that
decompositiou had begun in the brain.
and that the color OF the brain was dark
to an abnormal degree. He did not weigh
the brain, or note anything in references
to it's size. He found that the membrane
encasing it had become thickened. while
the brain cells were broken down. The
latter condition was due to decomposition,
He could tell nothing in regard to the cells,
even after submitting them to micro
scopic examination.
What differences the physician has drawn
from these conditions will only be told at
the forthcoming trial The defence in
tends to swear experts to show that it is
impossible to determine mans sanity by
an examination of this kind six months
after death.

honor at a celebration by the Father

said: sfa
I'VE have not yet wholly got rid of
the old bigotry. or the old tyranny.
even in our free and glorious republic.
We have set some examples to man
kind, and, when the American under
takes to be a tyrant or a bfgot. he is
likely to come out foremost in that
race, as in all others. 1 once heard
Wendell Phillips say that Of all scoun-
drels, religious scoundrel was the
viiest and of alIr villains, Puritan
villain was the neanest.
you of the Celtic race and of the
Catholic faith have had occasionally
to encounter hatred inspired by big
otry or race prejudice. But think. on
the whole, you have no great reason to
complain of your treatment at the
hands of the American people. You
found the latchstring out when you
came here. You were admitted to all
the privileges. of American citizenship
as soon as a Verysbrief and reasonable
period for naturalization had passed.
and, am afraid Ii the stories about
New York city be true, in some cases,
even sooner. You have given excellent

said that Consul Ravndal had reported
to him that some of the foreign con-
suls located at Beirut had reported to
their governments that the situation at
that place had become exceedingly un-
safe, that this condition of affairs had
existed for some time and that some
thing ought to be done to relieve the
tension.
The opinion was expressed that the
attempted assassination of Magelssen
probably would bring matters to a
focus, the attention of the Turkish gov
ernment being drawn to the matter in
this forcible way and some efforts thus
be made to avoid further trouble.
The latest development in the Turk
ish situation was discussed in official
circles where the view is held that the
denial of the report of the killing of
Mr.. Magelssen relieves the situation of
its immediate awkward and embar-
RAISING feature, but will not prevent
our naval vessels continuing to the
East. Minister Leishman, in one of his
dispatches to the department, suggest
ed that conditions were such that it
might be well to have an American
naval demonstration in those waters.
Reports also have come to the govern
ment from the missionary interests OF
