When Lightning Kills.

."As a rule" says a meteorological
expert, ''those killed by lightning main
tain an appearance Of life, staying in
the attitude which they had when
struck An English minister named
Butler witnessed the following: In the
town of EverdOn ten harvesters had
sought refuge under a hedge during
storm. Lightning struck and killed
four, who were left as If petrlfied. One
was found holding in his fingers the
snuff which he was about to take. An
other had little dead dog on his knees
and had one hand on the animals hea6,
while holding In the other hand some
bread with which he had been feeding

open and his head turned toward the

KILLING THE SEALS.
Always Done In the Morning, When
the Temperature Is Lowest.

the Temperature Is Lowest.
John Scudder McLain in his Alaska"
thus describes the business of securing
seal skins: "The killing is always
early in the morning when the temper
ature is lowest. 1t was o'clock in
the morning when we left the ship.
The killing season was practically
over, but the agents had arranged
drive for our benefit The seal lie
along the rocky shores, the bulls or
'beachmasters,' as they are called, and
the cows and their pups occupying the
rocks nearest the water, while the
bachelors, the young minated males,
are forced to go farther up the beach.
AS only the bachelors are killed for
their skins, this natural division fa-
cilitates the work of the drivers in
making their selections. Two or three
drivers slip in and cut out, as the
cowboys would say, bunch for the
days killing. They proceed to make
a great noise by shouting, Slapping
pieces of boards together and beating
and the squirming, budding mass is
gradually forced away from the rook-
cry.
"Now, here they come, bleating like
a flock of sheep, ambling in their awk-
ward fashion through the tall grass.
The younger males and the few fe-
males which the drivers will not try to
separate from the herd until the kill
ing ground is reached offer no resist
ance, but the two or three old bulls
show fight and rush at the drivers
with surprising speed and agility when
pressed too hard. AS they are driven
to the killing grounds their gait is a
sort of canter, as they raise themselves
on their fiippers and pull their heavy
| bodies up. They repeat this movement
rapidly for a hundred yards and then
| fall, painting and exhausted. The meth
cd of killing adopted infiicts less suf-
fering ON the victims than any other
that could be devised, but one who has
witnessed the operation will not wish
to see it again.
"Those who do the killing are ma
tives who are expert at the business.
each armed with a stout club about
five feet long and three inches thick
at the heavy end. They cut out twenty
or thirty of the struggling creatures
and, striking each one on the head,
crush the soft, thin skull. Death is in
stantaneOus. AS the club falls with q
thud upon each graceful head those
that have escaped the first crushing
blows seem to become conscious OF
their impending fate and their appeal
ing eyes, soft as those of a deer, theiI
plaintive cries and their Intellectual eff
forts to escape would certainly stay
the arm of any not schooled by years
and generations to do this work. The
stranger to the scene is forced to turr
away, though he must admit that no
throb of conscious pain follows th'
descent of the heavy club"

The Word "Tram.v -

Residents of Great Britain call street
cars trans. The term Is old. Three
hundred and fifty years ago an Eng
lishman left the following Item In his
will: ITO the amendlnge Of the high
waye or tram from the weste ende of
Bridgegait, in Barnard castle, 20 shII-
lings.' This tram" was a plank road.
Whether it was the ancestor OF the
tram Of today or merely an etymolog-
ical relation is not quite clear. The
forefather Of all the trans was a
Scandinavian word meaning a log In
time tram in Scotland came to mean a
beam, a cart shaft or the cart itself,
and perhaps it is to this rather than
to the tram that was plank in log
road that the modern sense traces its
origin. At any rate, etymologists af-
firm that the derivation from the name
Of Benjamin Outram, who improved
rail tracks about 1900, Is absurd.

this city at 9:3O o'clock last evening and as is always the case when Yale crew arrives here under similar circunl- stances, they were given a most hearty welcome home.
 When the train arrived in this city the crew was placed aboard the tally ho on the top while the freshmen and four oar men occupied the inside and part of the top of the coach. The triumphant march then commenced. First came a number of young men and boys; then came the band; next in order were the marching students; and after these came the tally-ho and then in order the other vehicles. Fireworks there were in profusion and the line of march was made as bright as day with colored fire.
 The march was down Meadow street from the depot to Church street, to Grove to College and then to the New Haven house, where the members of the crew were heartily cheered as they descended from the tally-ho to enter the hostelry to partakelof the banquet that was awaiting them. The students then marched on the campus to participa te in the bon fire. ..

BOARD OF FINANCE.

City Court Officials to Receive Back
 Salaries-O Other Business.
 When the final action of the board of finance with regard to the payment of the several city court officials, who claimed pay from April 1, is announced to Judge Matthewson, City Prosecutor E. c. Simpson, Assistant City Prescott tor s. B. Hoyt, and Clerk Charles W. Birely, it is certain that the tension of their minds will be greatly reduced and they will accordingly rejoice. Such action was taken at the meeting last night upon advice of Corporation Coun- seI Daggett, and these several gentle men will receive the compensation due their respective offices since April 1, when they should have assumed their duties.
 MT. Daggett also decided that the em- ployment of John J. Morgan in the First ward, and Henry c. Korn in the Eighth Huri1lg the recently election was legal. Action on these bills was deferred, how sver, until the next meeting.
 Upon application of the board of fire commissioners permission was given to transfer monies from one fund to mother to purchase a neu $5,0O0 aerial truck for No. 2's house. This truck will De purchased instead of the proposed Combination wagon for the new Ninth Fa-d house, which will be purchased ate in the year.

rangement whereby the government could use his services in some capac- ity.''
 The secretary answered: Further talk is useless. It would be to dicker. I cannot dicker on such a grave sub-s ject. have assumed that you had given this subject the greatest consid- eration, and you have approached it deliberately and stated to me your ac- tion in settled and definite terms. You have enthusiastically announced that you purpose to accept a position so attrac- tive that you could not possibly afford to decline it, and that you would not henceforth perform any duties for the government inconsistent with serving your new masters, who require your constant presence in New York, and, therefore, that you could not and would not go back to Panama as chief en- gineer.'
 MT. Wallace again stated "that he deeply regretted that the secretary's point of view was different from his own" and said that he would send his resignations as soon as he got back to his hotel and would address them to the president through the secretary. While there is difference between us, he added, tas to the point of view we take concerning my duty, I consid- CT that there can be no question that I have performed my full duty up to this hour.
 The secretary replied that he did not consider that any man can divide such a duty up to any one point where it suits him to stop, and then claim that he has fulfilled it by merely perforn- ing it up to the point of his own selec- ton. In my view, duty is an entirety and is not fulfilled unless it is wholly fulfilled''
 His resignations as commissioner, chief engineer and as vice. president, general manager and director of the Panama railroad were then submitted. It is expected that his successor as chief engineer may be announced in a few days. The commission is in corrl- munication with an engineer of distirl- guished ability who has been asked if he will accept the position, and an an- sWer is expected from him perhaps to- morrow. Neither Secretary Taft nor MT. Shorts would indicate the identity of the man who has been offered the place.

BITTER IMPEACHMENT . OF ENGINEER WALLACE

Continued from First Page.) have made wou famous the world over by the honorable performance of your duties as chief engineer. H For mere lucre you change your po- sition over night, without thought of the embarrassing position in which you place your government by this action, when the engineering forces on the isthmus are left without a real head and your department is not perfected | in organizations; when the advisory board of engineers is to assemble under call of the president within two months and when am departing for the Philippines on public duty. All this you know as well as I know it, but it l has not had the least influence upon your attention-you have thought of yourself and yourself alone. II consider | that by every principle of honor and duty you were bound to treat the sub- ject differently. You have permitted | the president and all of us to proceed in full confidence that you would per- form the functions of chief engineer,
 and now, in an hour,' you drop great duties and throw them back upon us as if it were a matter of no consequence
 and all this for your personal advantage
 solely. .....- ...:4. . :
 Great fame attached to your office,
 but also equal responsibility and now you desert them in an hour. Even from
 the standpoint of policy, you are mak- ing a profound mistake. If you could
 withdraw from your new arrangements,
 which do not suggest, could have no confidence (since know now your con- ception of duty), that you would not in the future repeat the same act at a moment even more critical, when the consequence might be even more en-
 barrassing and injurious ti the govern ment. .. '--t
 'Under these circumstances, MT. Wal lace and with great personal pain and disappointment, am bound to say that
 I consider the public interest requires
 that you tender your resignation at this
 moment, and turn over the records of
 your office to the chairman of the com mission. -.
 MT. Wallace replied that "he was deeply disturbed at the view taken by the secretary; that he had considered
 that he had right to retire when he
