men anxious TO learn the better ways.
But they didn't come. A News man
went over Thursday morning to get

CHICAGO, Oct S.-The Methodist

closely with those who are promoting
uniform divorce laws throughout the

dant His is the guiding and control
ling hand and brain in his fathers
business.
1t is therefore the conclusion of some
that the present thorough examination
and accounting of the Spreckels af-
fairs in Hawaii is to enable Rudolph
Spreckels to know not only what prop
erty and property interests his father
has here, but the history and relation
of them one to another, at least sui
ficient to enable him intelligently and
efficiently to deal with them.
Others think that Claus SpreckelS,
mindful of the mortality of the body"
as the old legal formula went, land
that it is given to all men once to
die, and after that the judgment" is
having such an inventory of his prop
erty made that he can deal with it
fully and completely in his will in any
scheme of trust estate or other form
of devise he may choose for the NAM
agement and distribution of his estate
after his death.
Both may be in mind.
At any rate, the hours that both
Sanford and Reynolds have spent in
the past few weeks, porting over old
documents in the office of the Regis
trar of Conveyances and in the office
of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, AMI
the other hours that they have spent
in the Spreckels Bank and in w. G.
Irwin & Co., and the evidence appar-
ent that they were making extensive
Investigations of some kind, have
aroused the curiosity of the business
community And everybody who has
become interested in their goings and
comings has seen enough to be con-
WINGED that enough information re-
garding the Spreckels interests here
has been formulated to enable Claus
Spreckels to deal inteIligently with it
in his will, if that is the purpose of
the investigation, or for Rudolph
Spreckels to deal intelligently with it .
as his fathers representative, if that
is the object.
1t was expected that the two would
sail by the Alameda. 1t was even an !
nounced in one of the evening papers /
that Mr.. Sandford had sailed by that
steamer. He is booked, however, by !

A marvel of surgery was shown to
the French Academy of Medicine by
DR.. Delair recently. a patient had lost
his chin, part of his lower jaw, his lip,
portion of his tongue and his nose,
owing TO the explosion of d gun which
he was firing. An apparatus in four
pieces has been made for him, which
makes all trace of his loss practically
invisible. The chin and lower lip, with
a false beard on them, are made Of
soft India rubber. the necessary teeth,
nose and jaw have been supplied, and
the patient can himself remove and
replace the apparatus, which weighs
only a trifle more than an ounce.
