BRITISH SHELL OF 1872.
3. ltimore Man Brings Up in Fish
Net Relic of the Rev.
olution.

An interesting relic OF the war Of 1872
was recently hauled from the depth OF
curtis bay in fish seine by B. II. Stull,
Of this city, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The relic IS she'll which is sup
posed to have been dropped overheard
from one of the British warships which
assailed Baltimore.
He took the shell to Fort McHenry,
where the ordnance officers pronounced
it she'll OF English make. and also in
formed Mr.. Stull that it was loaded. Mr..
Stull was determined to find out what
was inside. and. placing it under water,
he carefully bored through the bell
metal cap. When the cap was removed
about gill OF black powder, which is IL
good condition. came out. There Was
something else inside. SO Mr.. Stull con-
tinued to dig. and at last dislodged l76
leaden bullets, each about five-eighthS
OF an inch in diameter. which had been
firmly embedded in birthstone.
The she'll is five and five-eighths
inches in diameter and, with its con-
tents. weighs 22tts pounds.
1t was also learned by Mr.. Stull that
the wooden cap was portion Of the
shell. the method of shooting the shell
being to place the cap on the shell. with
a fuse leading through the cap and tha
bell metal to the interior Of the shell.
The powder charge for the gun was then
either tied or wrapped around the out
side of the wooden cap and the whole
placed inthe gun. When the latter was
discharged the powder ignited the fuse,
which in turn carried a spark to the
powder in the she'll. The spark reach
ing the birthstone caused a gas to
form. and this exploded the shell. the
leaden bullets causing the destruction.

WANTS WAGER REMOVED.
Grout Objects to the Bugg Account From
The Bronx Parks

Comptroller Grout wrote yesterday to
Park Commissioner Shrader of The Bronx,
suggesting the removal OF William I.
Wager, Jr., Superintendent of Parks in
that borough
Auditors OF the Finance Department
have reported to Mr.. Grout that The Bronx
Park Department bought four buggies in
1904 from William II. Gray for s23j each.
The report added that in the vouchers
certified by Mr. Wager the price had been
raised $50, making the cost of each buggy
$2S5. No crookedness is charged against
Mr.. Wager, only an evasion Of the law and
improper oertiAcation Of the vouchers.
The Aldermen last year authorized the
purchase Of four buRgies and horses at
cost not to exceed $500. But before the
resolution was passed the Park Department
OF The Bronx bought the four buggies and
horses, and In addition two seated cart
which cost 500. To cover the price of the
cart $50 was added TO the price charged for
each buggy. The total outlay on the
vehicles and horses was kept within the
appropriation made by the Aldermen,
but the alleged Juggling with the figures
of the bills whereby an extra cart was
obtained by the department is sufficient
cause, Mr.. Grout believes, for the removal
Of Supt. Wager.

HARPER THINKS DEATH NEAR.
DOESN'T EXPECT TO SURVIVE

President OF Chicago University Convinced

CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.-In the belief that he
will not survive his impending surgical
operation, or that. in any event he never
will be able 10 resume his place at the head
of the University OF Chicago, President
W. X. Harper has relapsed into state Of
dependency from which his friends are
putting forth every effort to raise him.
DR.. Harper, il is seid, 10 firmly Of the belisf
that his malady Ia cancer of the colon, an
affection which surgeons cay can be treated
only with palliative measures. An opera
ton they say, cannot save the life OF such
a patient. 1t can only prolong his existence
few months at the best
1T is my firm conviction that I am
affected with cancer" is the statement
attributed to Dr. HARPER in n conversation
with friends concerning the operation
set for next Wednesday at the Presbyterian
Hospital Il have received my death SEN
tenoe,' he continued.
The fact OF his making his will on Friday
IL taken as an indication Of this belief. In
view of this attitude the noted educators
friends and relatives have been notified
TO come to his bedside that they may see
him before he goes to the operating table.
John D. Rockefeller, founder of the
university, Is reported to be on his way
here that he may have n final personal
interview with the head OF the institution
he has so literally endowed. Prof. Robert
f. Harper, brother Of the president, Is
expected 10 reach New York tonight or
tomorrow and then TO rush as fast as the
railroads can carry him to the bedside OF
the stricken president
Every effort was made by the physicians
and others 10 keep from DR., Harper the
belief Of the surgeons that he has cancer.

nearly every one realizes the seriousness
OF the illness. DR.. Harper says he Ia ready
to undergo the operation. but he 10 despond-
ent much OF tho time, believing no will
never survive it.
Three separate and thorough examina-
tions of the material removed at the time
DR.. Harper was operated on for Appendix
citis have been made by the physicians
and surgeons studying his case and the
unanimous decision 1t is said. is that he
has cancer. 1t is for this reason that DR..
McBurney Of New York was called into
the case and asked to perform the operation.
DR.. Harper's house ia practically closed
except to those having official business
with him, He works increasingly, but
tires rapidly and is compelled frequently
20 lie down, even sometimes going to bed.
But he continues working in his endeavor
TO Gloss up everything before he Is COM
PEELED TO relnquish his work altogether.
President Harper will attend the funeral
of Prof George s. Goodspeed at Mandel
Hall tomorrow in spite OF the protests OF
many members Of his faculty This will
be the last public appearance Of the presi-
dent before the operation
