SACRAMENTO, Cal, NoY. 22.--In
the Siearras, back of Oroville, a mod
ern Rip Van Wrinkle has been found,
a reclIsA who did not know that the
Lincoln-DOuglas debate had been de-
cided nor that the Civil War had
been fought.
Engineers of the Western Pacific
Railroad found him and reused him
from his slumbers. Bill" Brown is
the name he gives, and he lives In a
lonely cabin. Here he made his home
in the days before the Civil War, and
only once or twice has he entered
the nef.resS mining camp for sup
plies. Without asking any questions
of what the rest of the world was
doing, he would go back to his her
mitage. t--,i t4-

BODY CREMATED
ASHES SCATTERED
BODY OF CALIFORNIA POETESS
WILL BE CAST TO WIND AND
WAVES AT OCEAN VIEW SHE
LOVES so WELL.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-The
remains of Nora May French, who
committed suicide at Carmel-by-the-
Sea Thursday last, were cremated
this afternoon and within a few days
the ashes will be committed to the
sea, in Difference to an oft-expressed
wish of the poetess.
In the full awakening of her life
Miss French's thoughts often dwelt
on death, and several times she told
her friends and relatives of her de-
sire for cremation and the consign-
ment of her ashes to the ocean,
which in her thoughts was always
associated with peace and perfect
rest --@" pee re $751;
So at Cypress Point, near Carmel,
tthe friends of Miss French will gath
er within a few days to pay final
tribute to her memory by carrying
out in every detail her last wishes
There will be no ceremony, no
words spoken, but in the silence of
sorrow the ashes will be given to the
waves
Only the immediate family and a
few intimate friends were present at
the Odd Fellows crematory this aft
ernoon. No burial service was said,
and as soon as the sad rites were
completed the funeral party returned
to Carmel
While Miss French resided with
the Sterlings at Carmel, Cypress
Point had for her a peculiar fasci-
nation. Miss French would often
ride to the point and sit there for
hours at time, thinking out the
complex problems of which, to her,
life was composed
Cypress Point, where winds and
waves come together, was the nat
ural choice as the spot for the last
rite.
The family has not yet decided on
the day, and the ceremony may be
delayed for a week

VANCOUVER, Nov. 22.-That

thur Holmes, a young New Zealand
err who has just arrived at Vancou-
yer. Mr.. Holmes voyaged from down

was made at Suva, Fiji Like all
New Zealanders, he is an enthusiast
tic Rugby man, and scratched up a
| team to go ashore and stretch their
legs by means of game of football.
The proceedings were watched with
great interest by the Fijians, who
promptly responded to an invitation
to join in the game.
Although playing in bare feet
they could kick the ball much fur
Their than the white men, and showed
natural taste for the game that
made the New Zealanders long for
more time to coach them. The Fiji
ans have a splendid physique, anc
can run like deer, and their strength
would probably be used to better ad
vantage in the college game than il

CRUELTY DEFENDED.
The Custom of Viviseeting Dumb An
imai~ In the Interests Of Science
Approved OF.

Several years ago defense Of vivi-
section, entitled "A Statement in Be
half Of Science" was issued to the pub
lie 10y a committee Of eminent surgeons
and professors, says Henry {. Merwin,
in Atlantic. This document,
which was indorsed by President Eliot
and other distinguished persons. ex-
pressly sanctions the practice Of vivi-
section, without the use ~ auaeSthet-
les, however painful the operation, in
those cases land they are numerous)
where To use an anaesthetic would di-
minish the value of the experiment.
Further, the stN ement expressly de-
feudS the custom of vivisectiug dumb
animals not only for experiment. but
also for mere purposes OF illustration
in the classroom; and it makes no dis
tinction in this respect between pain
tul operations and those in which an
aesthetics are used whereas in Eng
land yiyisecting in the classroom with
out the use of anaesthcticS is prohib-
tied boy law. The language Of the state
ment is in the highest degree decorous
and euphemistic, but when examined
it will be found to cover every form OF
cruelty that can be perpetrated in the
name of science.
