commencement exercises of the Medical
Department of the University of Texas.
of which DR. J Y Paine has tor many
years be en- member of the faculty. DR.
Paine now sewers his connection with

noted in the proceedings with much re-
greet. A letter from Chairman T S Hen
derson of the Board of Regents who
was unable t o be present, speaks in the
highest terms of DR. Paine. and DIR Fly

tiuuously taught obstetrics and gyneeol-
ogy for thirty years. nineteen of which

ment of the University of Texas. He
retires of his own volition at three score
years and ten full of honors and with the
united love of his friends and colleagues,
a man whose record IS as bright as the
driven snow, whose ideals are as lofty as
the mountain height, a man who has
been faithful to every obligation, true to
every trust and loyal to every condition
in life."
The News in another article says:
Upon the occasion of his last appear

ogy at the medical college since its es-
adjustment, was rendered touching
testimonial by the thirty-fve members of

warmest spot in the hearts of his students,
and IN his departure from the faculty
the college has lost one of its most able
members. The class presented him with
handsome silver loving cup. upon
which was engraved the names of the
thirty-fve members.
DR. Paine has been a frequent visitor
to Charles Town for some years past.

Search Of 100 years.

DIR. A. D. Henkel, of Winchester. has
received news that the bones of his an
|cestor. Rev. Anthony Jacob Henkel. the
founder of Lutheranism in the American
colonies, have been found. after search

found in 81. Michael's Church yard.
Germantown. Pa, few days ago. and
the skull and other bones were examined
by eminent physicians and pronounced
to be those of the famous follower of
Luther. Pastor Henkel's burial took place
in 1924.
For century the descendants of Rev.
Mr.. Henkel .endeavored to locate his
grave with the intention of erecting
massive memorial. Ayeer ago. through
the constant efforts of DR.. c. F. Henkel.
of New Market. and Carl Henkel. of Ben
too, Wis. the grave was located, but at
the time the tombstone simply bore the
name of the pastors wife.
Ambrose l.. Henkel said that a day
was set for the examination of the grave.

| mains had lain IN the earth for 1873 years.

| the grave.
Pastor Henkel was exied from Ger

come prominent in American history.
