 Although there are many instances on record of persons what attained the alti- tude of giants. contemporary cases have always been sufficiently rare to excite in- terest and wonder. The latest name ent- cred on the list of men of excessive stat ure Is that of Edward Beaupre of Willow Branch, Northwest Territory, said to be the tallest human being now alive. Beau pre- Is eight feet three inches in height, and weighs 370 pounds. He wears No. 10 hat, a H-inch collar and No. 2 shoe Ills hand is Il inches long, and his chest measurement 56 inches. Although he Is already pretty large, yet as he Is only 21 years old, the chances are he will add several inches to his height before he stops growing. The young mans abnor- mai size was not inherited from his par ents, for his father is only five feet eight inches tall and his mother five feet four inches tall. He is of French descent and finds it difficult to express himself in English. Until two years ago his occu- nation was that of a cowboy, but he had to abandon that line of work on account of his increasing tallness. It seems prob abIe that. like others of his calss. Beau- ore win yet drift into the circus or the museum as a means of earning his live lihood.

 Bored with Court "Wretchedness :"
 Students of life and of physiology may well be interested. Why should this old house, once exhausted of the male line. and carried forward by Maria Theresa, through union with Francis of Lorraine, exhibit these social phenomena? 1t is only here and there that the iunacy of the Wtttelsbachs has been a possible cause of the breaking of the conventional royal birth. If the tendency has not been towards democracy of feeling, it certain ly has been towards assertion of natural selection, which may or may not be the same thing. In the Crown Princess Lou ise Antoinette there was the same tm- patience with the stupidity of the circle she was in as Empress Elizabeth describ- ed In her letters and conversations "The bauble-loving vulgar social system and narrow convenuonality in which she moved was intolerable.
 She traveled, to get away from "the horrible Incubus of the perpetual show and parade" and the false standards she encountered. She wanted to be where she could be woman like other women, !" and not have her children taken away from her as if she were a breeding ani- nal. only different by being decked with jewels. Louise Antoinette, who would yet have been Queen of Saxony, confided her intention to separate herself from "all the wretchedness'' and "all the hypoc- rises she had known, as well as from the cruelties she had suffered in privacy Elizabeth, Empress, felt compelled to the same course. and she also took 6 professor and servants with her. purely without scandal, when her merry Emperor began to take his measure as sovereigns often have done. It takes, in a Princess, as Stevenson said, very strong bourgeois qualities Ito sail for islands in the air" and Louise Antoinette, like others of her race, seems to have them. She never, So to say. looked an equal in the face, and the sensation in store for her is worth imagining, if she breaks as completely with her caste as did her uncle, the lost John Orth

 Bangor Letter to New York Tribune.
 The most curious railroad in Maine is the toy line from Monson Junction, on the Bangor and Aroostock, to the slate quarrying village of Monson in Piscata- quis County. It Is operated, practically, by one man. and, although it has never made any money. yet it could scarcely be dispensed with. The road is a narrow
 gauge, the distance between the rails be- ing twenty-four inches. and is equipped with two tiny locomotives, sixteen freight cars and one combination passenger and baggage car. It Is eight miles long, and
 has stations only at the termini-Monson village and Monson Junction. It was con- structed in 1883
 Some of the finest slate quarries in the State are in Monson, and the product is sold not only in this country, NGt also in foreign lands, much of it being used for ornamental purposes on account of Its fine grain, good color and susceptibility to smooth polish. Previous to the build- | ing of the road. all the slate shipped | from Moneon had to be e ted eight miles
 to the Bangor and Aroostook (then the
 Bangor and Piscataquis) railroad. After
 the Monson road was built the slate could | be loaded on the cars and sent to Monson Junction at half the former cost.
 From Monson Junction to Monson vii- lage Is a steep upgrade, the rise for the first three miles being about 100 feet to
 the mile, 50 that it Is hard haul for
 the little locomotives, but. on the return trip no power is necessary, the engineer
 keeping the train under control by means of the brakes and letting her down hilr'
 as fast as he thinks safe.
 The superintendent of the road is also general freight and passenger agent,
 train dispatcher general baggage agent, superintendent of construction, station agent at Monson, conductor, express mes senger and mall clerk on the train.

DEFI TO THE PACKERS
LIVE STOCK MEN WILL FIGHT
 BACK.
VIII Go Into the Packing Business If Those at Present Engaged Therein Form the Contem-
 plated Merger.

Kansas City. Jan. 16.-The sixth annual convention of the National Live Stock As sociation adjourned tonight to meet next year at Portland. Ore. Before adjourn ment all the officers were reelected and the initiative was taken in a systematic legislative campaign against the propos- packing house merger.
 Hon. William M. Springer; general coun- seI of the Association. in spirited ad- dress. outlined a bill which he had form ulated. Ito protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopo- lies' and which he said was merely an adaptation of the Sherman antitrust law and the Hoar bill now pending in the Senate. President Springer said that If the proposed merger was ever consum- mated the National Live Stock Associa- ton would string packing houses from Chicago to San Francisco.
 In response to an appeal from the Ex- ecutive Committee for e legislative work ing fund, $7,500 was subscribed in less than thirty minutes.
 A resolution introduced by Frank N. Stewart of South Dakota protesting against the packing merger was adopted.
 During an address at the afternoon ses- sion, Jerry Simpson favored tariff re- vision and said the enactment of a tariff law by Germany was a discrimination against American products and should teach us how our present tarin system discriminates against other countries. Herbert s. Hadley of Kansas City. in an address, said that the removal of the tariff on meat products which action was suggested by the National Butchers As sociation, would please the packers but would work great injury to the Ameri- can farmers.
 Tonight the delegates were entertained at an elaborate smoker at Convention Hall.

Corpse" Arrested and Sent to the

 Baltimore Dispatch to Philadelphia
 Press.
 Sexton John Hinkel this morning found that a man. very much alive. had been buried in a grave In the yard surrounding St. Johns Protestant Episcopal Church at Waverly.
 MT. Hinkel visited 8 newly-made grave that had been prepared for the reception of the body of a woman today. In the grave he found an ''over-box," covered with about POO pounds of stone and earth. He lifted the cover and, to his horror and amazement, human form, clad Tn shroud of white, arose and came forth as though risen from the dead.
 Hinkel was frightened, but he is a nervy man, and as the uncanny inhab- itant of the grave stepped forth the sex ton grabbed him and held him until po- icemen arrived and arrested him.
 The prisoner had with him a satchel containing a curious collection of death robes. He said his name was M. Bado- let, and that he was from Wilmington. Del, his home being at 513 King Street, that city. He acknowledged, also, that he had buried himself; that he had seen an account of a burial in a morning news paper that was to take place in the grave yard of St. Johns Church on Sunday af- ternoon, and that led him to occupy the grave.
 When found by the sexton the corpse was attired in a long shroud which bore the following inscription In printed let ter: James N. Bernard" and under this was a cross bearing the inscription: October 5, 1852; May Il, 1902" and '19OZ. another boy"
 Badollet made the following statement: "I was born in Switzerland and have been in this country about fifteen years. 1 was born October 24, 1854. I am by trade a watchmaker and typewriter ma chine maker The last time 1 buried my self was at Bristol, Pa, May Il, 1902"
 A letter mailed at Baltimore on Satur- day and received at The Press office yes- terday, reads as follows:
 James Mark Bernard is to be buried alive in the following cemetery, St. John, WaVerly, Baltimore on the 18th instant This burial is punishment. Bernard by mere wickedness allowed one of his friends to be buried in a potters field To punish him we have decided to bury him alive as a pauper in a plain pine box. When the grave-diggers will find the grave in disorder they will investigate and here we will have our satisfaction to have Bernard handled by gravedig- gers, and he will realize how a pauper Is treated. This Is our main point: we do not want him to suffer the humiliA- ton of being found in a grave and han dled by gravediggers as a worthless corpse"
 Minute details of the plans for the burial were given, and the letter was signed, The Executioners.
