Death Of Prominent Man.

William l.. Elkins, the multi-million-
aire traction magnate and %financier. died
at his summer home at Ashbourne,
neal Philadelphia, Pa, Of a complica-
ton of diseases. He was II years OF
age. MI. Elkins' illness, which became
alarming about three weeks ago, really
dated from last spring. when he mar
rowly escaped a violent death. A heavy
iron girder which vas being hoisted to
the top OF a new Office building at
Broad and Chestnut streets, Philadel-
phia, OF which he was part owner, fell
to the ground. just grazing Mr.. Elkins,
who was passing. The shock seriously
affected his nervous system. The i'm
mediate cause of death was blood poi
soning, added to which was a combina-
ton of kidney trouble, rheumatism and
rheumatic govt.
Mr.. Elkins was born in Wheeling, w.
Va. and came to Philadelphia at an
early age. In 1879 Mr.. Elkins became
identified with the development of the
street railway service. He formed a
partnership with Il. A. b. Widener and
was afterwards association with the
latter in all his great traction deals In
| easten cities and also in Chicago.
Mr.. Elkins was deeply interested In
the development of art and in March,

most meritorious painting exhibited by
an American artist at the Pennsylvania
academy Of fine arts. He was a mem

AN OLD HUNTERS ADVICE.
A Few Good Things for the Novice to
Remember

Here is the advice an old hunter
gives to those who nay come into
unexpected contact with bad animals:
IF you are cornered by a snake,
stand motionless and he will never
bite.
"If a vicious dog attacks you, show
him a knife or some similar instru-
ment and he will keep out of reach.
A dog a never learn the deadli-
ness of a revolver or a gun, but un-
less he has the rabies, he knows how
to respect a knife.
IF a swarm of wild bees attacks
you, stand m~otionless and let out all
your breath. Then only a few of the
swarm will sting"
This advice should be reversed at
sea. A man who is swimming in
shark-infested waters is safe as long
as he kicks about and makes a great
deal of noise. The shark is too timid
to approach anything that looks as IL
1t meant to fight.
What would you do In last you
were cornered by a cinnamon bear?"
some one asked the old hunter.
Say my prayers" he answered la.
conically.

ONE OF oERMANY's GREATEST.
Prof. Mommsen's Death Breaks Link
| In History.

With the passing of Prof. Theodor
Mommsen, Germany has lost the last
link between the present generation
of thinkers and scholars and those
who like Helmholtz and Virchow lent
the luster of their works to the past
four decades of German history. The
old historian frequently received cor
respondents in his home in Chariot
tenburg, one of Berlin's suburbs, and
made each interview the occasion of
affairs, of which he was a keen stu
an animated discussion of American
dent.
Mommsen was fond Of dwelling on
two ideas. any report of which he re-
Quested should not be published until
after his death. When asked once
what was the motive underlying the
kaiser's anxiety to possess a powerful
navy he replied: Because he dreams
of a German Trafalgar at the @
pense of either Great Britain or the
United States. He would prefer the
United States, because he has no

eminent and live out their German
ideals untrammeled by the modern
political tendencies of the fatherland
which he insisted were reactionary.
Surrounded by his large family
Mommsen spent his declining years
arranging his valuable collection OF
manuscripts. Occasionally he would
issue a manifesto on some burning
public topic. His most recent utter
ances consisted of appeals for Ger
man university freedom, for an al
lance of the liberal and socialist
parties and for a better Anglo-Ger
man understanding. Many of Momm

seriously, declaring that he had failed
to keep step with the march of mod

ecutOr.

ecutOr.
In the probate court Of New Haven.
Conn, w. J. Bryan of Nebraska. was
admitted to act as executor of the will
Of the late Philo S. Bennett.
Judge Cleaveland Of the court ruled
that he had no discretion in the matter
and had no right to prevent Mr.. Bryan
qualifying as executor.
When the amount OF the bond was
reached, Mr.. Bryan said to the court:
THE amount Of the estate is on it's
face value about 1907, 900. A part Of
that Is book accounts and the actual
value thereof cannot be stated by any
one without careful examination OF the
books, more extensive than | have
given. I am willing that Mr.. Stoddard
shall suggest the amount OF the bond.
I have no preference in the matter at
all. So far as acting as executor IL
concerned I was asked to act by the
testator, and as | have said publicly
| feel | ought to do 1t unless the court
appoint some one who is interested In
carrying out the will instead of at
tempting to defeat it,"
Mr.. Stoddard pointed out that the es-
| tate was practically partnership
property, which would require some
| months to turn into money. He sug-
gested a small bond, with the reserva-
| ton that his client have the right to
come into court whenever n large
amount is coming into the executors
hands and seek to have the bond in
creased.
Judge Cleveland said he made it q
rule always to have the bond ample,
He suggested either 1926, 900 or $3.50 900
Mr.. Bryan said that would be satisfac-
tory to him and the court fixed the
bond at $3.50, 600.
