was in 1S97-1S9S. during the absence
of DIR. Angel in Turkey, where ne
represented the United States as min
lister to the sublime Porte, that Dean
Hutchins was first appointed acting
president. So well did he discharge
his duties, that when, in the minds
of the regents, it was advisable to
appoint a temporary president, thus
giving them a longer time in which
to make a selection of a permanent
one, there was never any question but
that Dean Hutchins should have that
position, provided he could be pre-
vailed upon to accept it.
Dean Hutchins' reputation does not
end, by any manner of means, with
his being a member of the faculty Of
Michigan's law department He is
known and recognized throughout the
United States as an able lawyer.
Dean Hutchins was graduated from
the University of Michigan in the
class of II. After being admitted
to the bar he practiced law in Mount
Clemens. In 1884 he was appointed
Jay professor OF law in the university,
and three years later was called to
Cornell university to aid in organizing
the newly-formed law department of
that Institution. He returned to Michi-
gan in 1895.

OWNS A GENUINE AMATI
New Hampshire Man Possesses Rare
Violin Formerly Carried by
ltinerant Fiddler.

Nashua, n. H.-For about forty
years John A. Small of this city has
owned wonderfully sweet-toned
violin that was made by Nicholas
Amati in 1850. The instrument was
played at the ball given in Boston
at the celebration which followed the
evacuation of that city by the British,
and later came into the possession
of an itinerant peddler named Bell
The latter roamed over the country
side and made good living by
fiddling at frolics, and no dance of
any magnitude was complete without
BELL and the fiddle He sold the
violin to Mr.. Small in Portland, Me.
Mr.. Small was formerly seafaring
man. He moved to New Hampshire,
where he followed his. trade, that of a
patternmaker, and later was employed
as a private Waterman, after which

THE WIFI" AS FH ON aE asT s s SiinpEo ToE "

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile. industry was I'M
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
niZed that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses. if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers. named by. those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver Of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night the cars. were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

Latest Kansas Events.
couehed Up = Live Frog.

Arthur C. Valentine, carpenter Nv
ing in Wichita was attacked by .
severe fit of nassau and emitted from
his stomach a live frog over an inch
in length For two years he has been
suffering with stomach trouble and has
been unable to get relief. He thinks
that while drinking water from a
spring on the farm on which he lived
prior to coming to Wichita he took
into his stomach a pollywog and it
grew into frog Physicians doubt
the possibility of pollywog living and
growing in the mans stomach, but MT
Valentine has the frog to show and
members of the family attest the truth
fulness of his statment that he emitted
1t from his stomach. He is now ell
tirely relieved from the pains and suf-
fering he formerly experienced in his
stomach.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
united by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel, proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

Halter Buried in its Neck.

A peculiar case in veterinary sur
gerry is reported from the south part
OF Sedgwick county. A colt belonging
to Mrs. Walter Pile was turned into
a pasture and a halter left around its
neck. Within a month the halter had
sunk into the flesh on the neck until
it was completely covered with hide.
An iron ring on the halter was also
fmbedded in the animals neck and
great sores were caused. A veterinary
was called to see what caused the
sores and discovered the halter, which
was removed. The animal will re-
cover from the operation

the Soldiers Orphans Home, state
charitable institution at Atchison has
been appointed a deputy sheriff, and is
probably the only woman in the state
TO receive such an appointment. As
state agent her duty is to place or

for children she is required to take
the children back to the orphans
home. At times she has been put to
the trouble of calling officers to assist
her in securing releases from linden
lures For that reason she asked to

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent more efficient, gallon

other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as

Low Death Rate at Federal Prison.

According 20 records OF patients
kept by the Medical staff at the prison,
the history of the hospital and the hos
pital annex has been very creditable
one. Statistics kept by DR.. A F. Yohe
and his assistants show only five-sev-
enths of one per cent of death out of
a total 700 bedridden patients cared
for at the hospital during the past
year. Since January 9, 1909, there
have been 27 deaths at the prison, two
OF these were the results of accidents.
Sixteen deaths were due to tubercu-
losis. This is a better record than
that of the Minnesota State peniten-
tiary at Saltwater, the location of
which is said to be the most sanitary
of any penitentiary in the country.
