from box No. 50 Tuesday. This has
happened several times during the
summer and IT has ceased TO be a joke
with the fire ladies. A standing re-

will catch the offenders, and the fire
men hope that chance will be offered

is committing this act should be

The reports of the trustees in the
estates of Hiram P. Bersie. Charles H.
Sheaff and the Kaeiser heirs have
been filed and their showing is a sorry
one rejecting on the dealings of S. F.

ing out the robbery of every dollar
contained in the Hiram P. BerSie eS-
tate. The trusteeship under the will
of the late Hiram p. Bersie was ad-
ministered by S. F. Smith. The first
report filed by S. P. Bawden, attorney
for the German Trust company, on
Tuesday afternoon shows that the en-
tire substance of the trust has been
wasted. Not a single dollar remains
in it today. both principal and inter
est having been dissipated to the sum
of over $1,000. There remain no as
sets, save what may be secured
through the sale of the Smith home
stead. Yesterday there was filed the
report of the German Trust company
in the Charles H. Sheaff estate. 1t is
a preliminary report and shows that
S. F. Smith is short by S26,O474O in
his stewardship of that sacred trust
fund. There should be $55 .342 40 in as
sets in the estate, whereas only S29.-

suit is that George Hoover, who act

BILE was ill., is now filing the position
and Cables resignation is i'll and &C
Cepted. Mr.. Cable is not decided as
to what he will not take up, but is

OF DYING.
Physician Says Ii is Calm and Gentle,
with EOrbearances.

Boston Journal.
That death has no terror for those who
know that it is only a few hours away.
and dying is not an unpleasant sensation.
is the conclusion drawn from the observa-
ton of 200 cases by DR.. Benjamin Reicman.
a young physician who has practiced in
several Chicago hospitals. Why this is
true. he says, is something that cannot be
explained.
Since he became a medical student Dr..
Reicman has kept a record Of the persons
he has seen die, noting carefully each time
the impression which the approach Of death
made on the mind. He observed his 2OOth
case a few days ago and then announced
the conclusion he had reached.
Persons in sound mind and body fear
DEATH said DR.. Reicman. AT least the
most of them do, but il is a foolish fear
Besides the shrinking from whatever they
may conceive to be the hereafter, they

yet TO see a case where "A dying person.
even one whose faculties were alert anC
who was not suffering great bodily pain.
was overwhelmed by the knowledge that
he had only a few more hours 10 live.
There may be persons whose dying
hours are clOaded by the thought that
they are leaving someone dependent on
them or someone dear to them, but for
death itself they do not care. L have even
known cases where IL was pleasant, APP
parently, and several persons / have seen
die laughed and joked in their last hours.
Pointing TO specific cases. DR.. Reicman
showed that the deathbed was sometimes
q cheerful place and that intense sorrow
and horror really had no place there.
1T is not only great men who die heroic
deaths" ne said. Those things sound dra-
matte when they are recorded in biography.

AL right. / would have liked to have fin

Another case / remember was that Of
a switchman who had both his legs cut

TO the hospital and told he had about an

The hneisel Quartet

The Kneisel Quartet holds a unique posi-
ton in the city of New York. 1t has been
for the last fifteen years the custom of the
musical people of New York TO be subscrib-
ers to it's concerts, many of them holding
the same seat year after year. This privi-
lege is given 10 them before the general
sale opens. 1t is almost impossible TO buy
a seat at the evening of the concerts. There
being no standing room sold. New York is
forced to be early at hand.
On account of the trip TO Europe by the
Kneisels in March, and not knowing how
long the quartet will stay abroad, the inter-
est has been so great this season that the
entire seating capacity of Mendelssohn Hall
in New York has been sold TO subscribers.

Oils Jan. d at the assembly room of the

in indianapolis in the last five years. Ar
lists have been brought 10 this city under
her management which We would not have
had otherwise. All of Mrs. Talbot's con-
certs were interesting, but what counts
more, they were educational. The musical
people and society people have recognized
Mrs. Talbot's efforts and have supported
her i'm her work, and the interest has been
satisfactory. Ii is TO be hoped that this
last recital will be given before an audi
ence that will fill the assembly room of
the Claypool Hotel TO the doors.
