ALL WERE UNDER SUSPICION

An interesting communication with
regard to the last examination OF the
body Of Beethoven. some twenty years
ago, is made in the Neue Frei Presse
by Herr wilhelm Stiassny. who was
present at the ceremony as a repro
sentative Of the city of Vienna. When
the metal coffin was opened the eyes
OF the silent circle OF reverent spec
tafors who stood around were at once
riyeted on the wonderful skull. which
anybody would have recognized at
the first glance as being that OF the
great composer" A doctor who was
present preferred the request TO be
allowed to make some genealogical
measurements. After some discussion
this was agreed to. and the coffin was
removed to the cemetery chapel IL
was then discovered that tooth was
missing from the number that had
been counted at the previous disinter-
ment in the sixties. Il was at nrst
thought that one of those present had
yielded TO the temptation TO possess
himself OF somewhat grim relic OF
the immortal composer. and for some
reason or other suspicion fell on "a
highly respected parsonage" II was
only when the examination was con

Special to The Herald.

| Special to The Herald.
PASSAIC, N. j., Feb. n.-Miss Irene
Sylvester of IA Ascension street is the
proudest girl in Passaic. as she eX-
hibits a full set of current Russian
postage stamps, including cards,
stamped envelopes and wrappers, sent
to her by the czar himself.
| Some time ago Miss Sylvester wrote
the following note, which was sent to
friend at the Russian court:
"To His Imperial Majesty Nicholas
H., Car, st. Petersburg, Russia: l
am collecting postage stamps of all
ma tions, but have no Russian stamps.
May 1 beg your imperial majesty 10
be so kind as to send me a few Of the
used stamps, many of which must
come to you daily on letters and be
thrown away?
II am an American girl, ID years old,
and send greetings to your majesty's 5
own little girls, about whom l have
enjoyed reading.
Hoping that it may please your
majesty to send me the stamps, and
thanking you in advance. / am, re-
spectfully. IRENE SYLVESTER"
The stamps were sent by the czar to
the Russian consul general in New
York, who forwarded them to Miss
| Sylvester. A note in Russian from the
consul said:
His imperial majesty, the czar. has
been graciously pleased to send Miss
Irene Sylvester collection of Russian

There was also receipt for the

TRINITY COLLEGE
GRANTS OPPOSED
IRISH ROMAN CATHOLICS
ENTER PROTEST
Proffered Scholarships Should Not Be
Accepted, and Voting of Money
for Queens College Is
Condemned
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-THE quarterly
meeting of the standing committee of
the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Ire
land was held this week, Cardinal
Logue presiding. A resolution was
adopted unanimously to the effect that
in view of the "insdious attempts now
being made by the authorities of Trim
ity college and some of it's protestant
supporters to induce by pecuniary re-
ward the youth of our Catholic schools
to enter that institution, so often con-
demned by their pastors" Catholics
should be warned against danger of
accepting these educational bribes. +"
The present attempt is regarded as in
no way differing in principle from the
attempts made by the college 'for the
past three hundred years to wean
away the Catholic youth of Ireland
from their allegiance to their faith and
their country"
Trinity college is, according to the
hierarchy. no place for loyal Catholics,
who cannot frequent it's halls without
the greatest danger of detriment to
their faith. No true Irish Catholic
and those who may do so may rest as
sured that their fellow countrymen will
never forget their recreancy. Trinity
college and the Queens colleges. the
hierarchy regards as no places for the
intellectually gifted youth of a race
precious inheritance. "It is intoler-
able" the resolution continues, "that
these institutions should hold their
endowments as if to serve the Irish
people, when the small section of the
population which they do serve merci-
from university education in any form
acceptable to the nation at large"
The resolution concludes by saying
that the matter will only build up the
determination of Catholics to obtain at
last for higher education their proper
share of the income which Trinity col
lege draws from eighteen Irish coun-
ties; and that if there is any objection
against fresh grant to provide uni
versity for Irish Catholics, then the
Irish bishops, the Irish representa-
tives and the Irish people. are bound
to take all legitimate means to secure
it, that the endowments of Trinity
college and the money annually voted
to the Queens college are made avail
able for university education in a way
the nation will indorse.

SKEPTICAL AS TO PEACE
Japanese Minister to London Thinks

by ASsoclateu IIeSs.
LONDON, Feb. Histories purport-

ing negotiations for reace in the far
east find no support and no credence
in responsible quarters here.
"All my information is quite to the
contrary" said Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister, To-Day, and therein
the minister voiced the general opinion
of those in a position to know. Il
cannot account for the recrudescence
of these reports" continued the minis
ter. Certainly l know of no move
ment in the direction Of peace, There
is every probability of continuance
of the war. The internal situation in
Russia does not affect Japan's actions
or plans. 1t has not entered into our
calculations. Japan is as ready for
peace now as she has been since hos
tilites broke out, but the proposals
must emanate from Russia and be such
as to assure permanent peace and
friendly relations between Japan and
Russia"

bundles. who was trying equally hard
to enter. The woman, of course, did
not know him. They met half way.
1t became a push of war.

she exclaimed half angrily.
General Funston is not an old man,
but 1t was evident he did not like being
called young" He did not move very
quickly, and the woman placed a size
10 hand on his breast and pushed him
backward. step by step, till he was
again in the shed.
