OLD.TIME NEW YORK RIOT.
1t Was Caused BY the Pranks of ed /
cal 0tudents.

The most exciting event, probably,
that ever took place in New York oc-
Cured on April 10, 1883. says the New
York Tribune. During the winters of
1897 and 1888 a number of bodies
were disinterred from private ceme-
teiies in the city. When the fact be.
cume known "a violent excitement
arose among the people. which awak,
ened a great prejudice against the
medical profession" Absurd reports
were circulated regarding the affair
and the New York hospital was in the
zone of superstition. To increase the
excitement. some students Of the hos.
pttal on April 10 exposed the limb of
body from the window of the dis
sectine room in sight Of a group Of
boys playing around the grounds. The
boys spread the news and In short
time an immense multitude assembled
and hesieged the hospital. The doors
were burst open and the terrified ply
sicians. who had attempted to secrete
themselves. We're dragged out To
save them from the fury Of the crowd
the magistrates interfered and lodged
them in Jail for safety.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1904-01-25

The next morning an attempt was
made to search the houses Of the sus-
pected physicians. but prominent men,
such as Clinton. Hamilton and Jay,
demonstrated and for few hours the
mob was quiet. In the afternoon the
city was the scene Of intense excite
ment. The Infatuated people had gath
cred about the Jail and demanded pos
session Of the students. When refused
they assumed hostile attitude and
attacked the building. tearing down
the fences and breaking the windows
himself led large party Of armed
citizens to the relief Of the besieged
EloQuence was Of no use to allay the
tempest surging around the hospital
and volley of stones and brickbats
which felled John Jay and Baron
Steuben to the ground caused the
mayor to order the militia to fire on
the crowd. At the first volley a num-
Der of the rioters fell and the rest dis
persed. Five persons were killed and
eight wounded.
1t was some days before quiet was
restored and the militia removed from
the grounds Of the hospital The Of
tending students were sent away, but
the venerable hospital was hence
forth invested by the populace with a
sort of horror and became the scene
Of many a fearful resurrectionist le-
9end."

SHIFTING SANDS OF PERU.
They Always Awaken the Interest {

They Always Awaken the Interest OF
the Foreign Traveller.
Ernest c. Rost tells of the curious
travelling sand crescents of Peru,
which move across the desert, says
Harper's Magazine. After passing
another town of three or four mud
huts we enter the famous desert of
Islay. on which are what l consider
the most remarkable natural curiosi-
ties to be seen OH this globe" says
Mr.. Rost, for we are now among
hundreds-nay, thousands-Of pure
white sand crescents, on a plateau of
4.5OO feet above the level of the sea
and f1fty-four miles from the coast,
where all else is of dark red or
chocolate color. Whence comes this
sand and why always in a crescent
shape? Professor Bailey, whom l af.
terward met at Arequipa In charge of
the Harvard University Observatory
told me that scientific men do not
agree as to the reason why the sand
always forms the same crescent
shape, although it is generally be-
lieved that the whirling eddies here
abouts are responsible Some, how.
ever, argue that such is not the case.
since each one Of these crescents has
an opening toward the northeast.
AT any rate, the inner circle Is an
almost perpendicular wall Of the finest
pure white sand. and from the upper
edges the crescents slope gradually
away on the outside. They average
about twenty feet In height, the inner
circle having diameter Of some fifty
feel, although | have seen one at least
mile and a half in diameter which
was, however, not much higher than
the average. These crescents move. it
is estimated. at the rate Of three
inches every twenty-four hours and
when. on the slow journey, one comes
near the railroad, it becomes neces-
sary to shovel the sand across the
tracks. after which it travels on. form.

An old woman was in Joplin the

These kind are perfectly harmless.
About month ago a travelling man
who ate dinner at my house told me
that there was a snake factory in Jop-

to make belts and gloves out Of, while
the bodies were sold to the sausage
mills. He said that they brought $3.50

to make money, as very few snakes

the old woman carried them to the end

IT'S love they've huted. luted. sung;
IT'S unto Love they've crept and chung;
Aud e'er round Love new garlands hung.
'Tis Love- Love. Love. the livelong day,
Until 1t seems quite thumbed away.
The old, worn string whereon they play.
Some long ago are dead and cold,
Earth, sum- and stars are growing old,
But still the tale is far from told
Nor shall it e'er be told, in truth,
White April knows not autumn's ruth,
While Youth looks in the eyes Of Youth.
Nor shall the string once hang outworn,
Since Life itself Of Love is born.
And as Life wanes must sing its morn.
