was in 1S97-1S9S. during the absence
of DR.. Angel in Turkey, where ne
represented the United States as min
lister to the sublime Porte, that Dean
Hutchins was first appointed acting
presto ant. So well did he discharge
his duties, that when, in the minds
of the regents, it was advisable TO
appoint temporary president, thus
giving them longer time in which
to make selection of 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
Michigans 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
Itinerant Fiddler.

I Nashua, N H.-For about forty
years John A. Small of this city has
owned a 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 ~ 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
patternmaker, and later was employed

Startling Warning to Blends.

blue-eyed persons of light complexion
is uttered by DR.. Charles e. Wood
ruff, surgeon and major in the United
States army, who has just completed
"a private tour of the prisons and asy
lums of the city and state. Jails and
other institutions, he says, are full OF
blends who are unable to stand the
struggle for existence in climate to
which they are untitled and have fall
len into poverty, disease and crime.
What is true of New York. he says.
is true of the country as whole, and.

adopts some better means of survival
than he has at present. he will be
wiped out as type in favor of the

Sir Douglas Gamble Is Lent by

Other British Officials Are Instrucs-

Constantinople.-W German
officer is occupied with reorganizing
the army of the Young Turks, a Brit
ism admiral, Sir Douglas Gamble, will
endeavor to turn out new navy. He
has been lent for the purpose by the
British government, and there are
with him the following instructors:
Lieut.. Tottenham, gunnery; Lieut..
Gwynne. torpedoes; Lieut.. Taught,
navigation. and Engineer Lieut.. Crois-
dale, machinery.
Thanks to the enlightenment and
zeal of Admiral Arif Pasha, minister
of marine, great deal of prepare
tory work was got through before the
arrival of Admiral Gamble, so that the
latter found much better material to
work upon than he had been led to
expect

CURED a certain amount of experience
by service in foreign navies. Steam
and gun trials had taken place in Mar

cruise in the archipelago.
The younger naval officers are all
very keen as regards their profession,
and as many have a good knowledge
of English, they have not failed to
acquire such information as could be
obtained from reading English naval
periodicals and books.
Much translating work has been
done since what might be termed the
emancipation of the navy" took
place, and the instructors will find!
their task much lightened by the zeal
and willingness of both officers and
men.
The first fruit of the British admir-.
ais work is to be seen in the dispatch.

Most of the night was given to the beating
of drums the women and younger men dancing
in procession all over town.
When night closed in on the scene and the
moon began to shed it's soft light through hazy
clouds the nights dancing began. There was no
undercurrent of sadness in it, everybody was lit
orally out for good time. The dancers were
drummed up in groups, the drummers shutting
all through the town to organize procession
second crowd gathered under the leadership
of a man with string instrument made from
caabash, and eventually third group shufied
along to the tune of calabash strung with iron
rings, the sound being that of gourd half filled
with dried peas.
The succeeding day was of the most
eventful of ALL Before sunrise the men Of the
town brought large stones to the grave and
walled it in, making an Enclosure about six feet
wide and 10 feet long. Dozens of empty gin
bottles were brought and placed all around the
grave-a very common custom this coast The
mound then leveed down and the entire
Enclosure covered with stones and wet sand. At
the head they placed a couple Of small ivory
tusks rice bowl containing Wobehs silver ring
and some kola nuts. two pitchers and small
brass kettle Across these was laid an unsheath-
ed sword The fixing of the grave was not com
pleted until they had brought a small jug of
rum and poured a little of it into each vessel.
The thirst of Wobeh's spirit was apparently more
easily Quenched tnan nad Deen that Oh the Aan
in life-and this enabled the men about the
grave to put the greater part OF the rum to bet
ter use.
After the grave had been properly arranged
the town assembled to witness the significant
ceremony of killing the white chicken. The
principal nephew of the late king knelt on the
grave and held the chickens head above Wobehs
head King Sow made long speech and then
different members of Wobehs family gave the
chicken messages to take to his spirit This
part of the ceremony was very solemn and I'M
nressiye It was clear that they implicitly be-
lieved that their messages would reach their des-
tination
Then the nephew pulled off the chickens head
and threw the body down on the grave. Curl
ously enough the headless chicken futtered
around until it reached the head of the grave
and then seemed to be trying to bore its way

There nothing extraordinary for the next
two days. On the first day the mourning women
were taken to the creek and washed in order that
they might begin to dress up for the final feast.
On the second day the men Of the town were as
sembled under the big palaver tree and individu-
ally sworn to be loyal to the town. The oath was
administered by making the man drink from
bowl of mkish fluid which was supposed to kill
the if he was insncere. On this day, also,
the men brought in large quantities of frewood
and the women were busy threshng and cleaning
rice and pots.
slaughter of the bullock and the great feast So
far as I could learn there is no sacrifcial idea
involved in the ceremony; the slaughter is solely
for the purpose of providing for joyful banquet
The big bullock led to vacant place near
the grave just at sunrise, and securely tied down
on its side It's throat then cut, the wind
pipe being severed. and the animal slowly bled to
death. 1t 20 minutes before the animal
ceased to struggle, but its tail had been severed
long before, this being the especial perquisite OF
the men selected butchers
The carcass was then skinned and King Sow
sat in his leopard chair while the bullock cut
up He kept careful watch to see that not even
ounce of meat was taken by anybody. TWO
large brass kettles and large basket were placed
in front of him and in these were placed the in
ternal organs and the choicest cuts-the kings

overlook some small portion, but the king over
looked nothing; he had the error promptly rectt
fed Altogether he received about one-third Of
the bullock The remainder cut up and dis
tributed among the families to be cooked; posi-
lively no part o. the animal except the hide and
horns was discarded. There was not quite enough
to go around, the king ordered dog killed to
make up the deficiency.

When it finally ceased its struggles
there was chorus of "Ah!" followed
by some excited talking. 1t was ex-
planned to me that when a chicken
dies with it's feet in the air it is
sign that the nephew has been true
to the king and has not meddled with
his women. In this case the chicken
had died on its side.
Then another chicken was brought
for another nephew to kill. 1t ike
wise died on its side and there was
another chorus of excited grunts. A
third chicken was killed by niece,
with the same result; but the fourth,
killed by another niece, stopped with
it's feet in the air. The crowd went
