LECTURER DRIVES DEAN
AND JURORS FROM ROOM

PARIS, July 2.-The medical stu
dents who have been excluded from
the school of medicine by the police for
expressing, by means of eggs and to-
matoes, their objections to the present
system of electing candidates to the
faculty of medicine, have had their
revenge.
Mr.. Berillon, one of the principal OBJ
jectors, presented himself as a candi-
date and devoted the greater part of
his thesis to a brilliant satire on GER
tain features of medical instruction in
France, to the practical exclusion of
muscular rheumatism" the theme al
lotted to him as a subject. Numbers
of medical students who were in the
joke managed to get seats.
Urbanely regarding through his eye
glasses the dean, M. LandouZy, and the
jury of professors and doctors, and
then the police and the municipal
guards, who were scattered throughout
the lecture room, the candidate began
by stating there were two kinds of
doctors, and entered on thinly yelled
attack on thu dean and the jury. 1t
soon became too much for the dean,
who tartly reminded the candidate that
he had not yet mentioned muscular
rheumatism"
"Oh, yes," was the reply. "I am go
ing to treat it in text book FORM"
And without a smile he presented in
the most bstruse medical Technology
a ridiculous account of how cutters,
being obliged while working to stoop
in a stream of water to sharpen their
tools, were subject to rheumatism, and
evaded it by tying long-haired poodles
to the calves of their legs.
"The cutters catch fleas from the
dogs" DR.. Berillon added gravely,
while the lecture room rocked with
laughter, "but, it is claimed the dogs
draw the rheumatism out of their mas
ters."
DR.. Berillon proceeded to say that
certain doctors preferred to send their
patients to hot springs, a transparent
reference to M. Landouzy's favorite
treatment which made the dean writhe,
while nervous member of the jury
in scarlet robes shuffled uneasily with
his feet Muscular rheumatism" the
candidate quickly observed, ''has also
a certain moral effect. Patients be-
come irritable and cannot keep their
feet still" The audience roafed and
the unhappy juryman became instant
ly immobile.
The candidate narrated an aecdote
of a famous astronomer whose prac-
tice it was when lecturing to address
himself to that person in the audience
who appeared to him to possess least
intelligence. So saying, DR.. Berillon
turned right round and gazed COM
prehensively at the jury, while the
audience was convulsed.
The situation was uncomfortable, and
the jury fiHd out, while M. Landouzy
rising, angrily announced that the can
didate's name was struck off the list.

BIRTH DATE IN BIBLE
DELAYS INHERITANCE
Merchant Claims Patrimony at
40, but Entry Causes
Years Wait

NEW YORK, July 2.-The old family
Bible is to blame because Walter e.
Shaffer, a merchant of 636 Gates ave-
nue. Brooklyn, cannot come into pos
session of his patrimony, and 1t also
served to make the court believe yes
terday that Shaffer did not know how
old he was.
When Emanuel Shaffer died some
years ago he left tidy fortune. That
portion of it he intended for his wife
was left to her without any conditions.
Just before he died the elder Shaffer
called his son, then poor man, to his
bedside and explained that it would be
best for him to "grow to maturity be-
fore he came into full possession of his
money, and that he had decided II
should not be turned over until Walter
was 40 years old. The Brooklyn Trust
company was made custodian of this
portion of the estate.
Walter E. Shaffer claimed that he
was 40 years old on May 2S last, and he
requested the Brooklyn Trust company
to turn over his money to him. The
money was not given him and he en-
tered suit The case came to trial be-
fore Surrogate Ketcham.
After Shaffer had made the claim
that he was 40 years old the Trust COM
pany set forth that he was only 80. In
support of this they produced the Shat
fer family Bible. In this old book was
an entry made by Shaffer's father,
showing that the son was born on May
fed by Mrs. Winifred G. Shaffer, the
testators widow.
"I think you had better wait a year."
Surrogate Ketcham said. 1T appears
that you are younger than you think
you are"

TRIAL OF TERRORIST WHO
TRIED TO KILL is BEGUN
Fired Many Shots at Russian
SIeuth Is Charge

PARIS, July 2.-The Russian terror
list, Michael Rips, is on trial before the
Paris assize court for having attempt
ed to murder Colonel Kotten, chief OF
the secret police of Moscow, in Paris
hotel a year ago.
Rips, who was engaged in several
terrorist plots, was arrested and sent
to Siberia in 1906. He escaped, re-
turned to Moscow, was arrested again
and was offered free pardon by Col
onel Kotten If he would enroll himself
In the police and betray his COM
rades.
This he pretended to do and came
to Paris nominally to serve the Rus
sian police, but really in the interests
of the terrorist party. On May last
year Rips had an appointment with
Colonel Kotten, who had come to Paris
to see him. Going to the coloneIs ho-
tel in the Rue Bolivar Rips fired at him
repeatedly. All the shots missed the
colonel, and, the revolver being empty
Rips then attacked the colonel with
the butt end of the weapon. The trial
will last several days.

sEAMEN UNION LEADER
FLAYS c. O.P. REGIME
Pres. FuruSeth Arrives in San
Pedro to Deliver Address
to the Sailors

SAN PEDRO. July 2.-Andrew Furu-
seth, president of the international
Seamen union and secretary of the
Sailors union of the Pacific, one of the
foremost labor leaders of America, ar
rived today on the steamer Helen +.
Drew to address the sailors in port
here on his work at Washington dur
ing the session of congress just closed,
and other questions concerning the
organization.
He will speak at a meeting to be
held tomorrow night and leave Mon
day for San Francisco. Mr.. Furusetn
is on his way home from washington
by way of the northwest, where he has
inspected the unions at Seattle, Port
land and other ports.
Mr.. Furuseth is bitter in his denun-
citation of the present organization of
congress and declares that there is lit
tie hope for legislation as long as the
Republican party Is in control. He
went to Washington to work in the
interest of the seamen's bill, but was
unable to get the bill reported out of
the judiciary committee.
1--WE had the votes" he said with a
laugh, "but we couldn't get the bill
reported out of the subcommittee.
When they found we had the votes
the committee wouldn't meet"
Although a Democrat he has much
sympathy for the insurgent movement
within the Republican ranks and says
that much good has been accomplished
by members who refuse to yield to the
party lash.
Mr.. Furuseth says that he found
that the best men in Washington were
opposed to the postal savings bill. He
believes that the railroad bill will cur
tail rather than extend the powers and
good work of the interstate commerce
commission through the establishment
of an interstate court, and that the
new law will benefit the railroads more
than the shippers. He denounced the
Sherman antitrust law as being in
tended particularly to prevent combin-
ations of labor.

BANDITS BEAT AND ROB
FRENCHMAN OF VALUABLES
Attacked in Bois de VinCenneS
by Crowd of Thieves

PARIS, July 2.--The Bois de Vincennes is
rapidly acquiring as evil a reputation as was
that Of the Forest Of Rondy in the olden time
The latest victim is a resident in Paris, who
owns In the neghboThood Of the wood q house
which was seriously damaged by the floods.
He put in a claim for compensation. and, hay
ing received tntimatiOn from the munich
palty that il would be granted to him out of
the money voted by parliament, he proceeded
to the local Marie, and walking thence
through the Bois de Vincennes, with a fairly
substantial sum him, when three men sud
denly darted out OF a thicket ana pounced on
him. AS he happens to he unusually strong
he soon got the better Of them, whereupon
they made several calls with a whistle, and
presently q dozen newcomers appeared on the
scene. The poor man was beaten within an
inch Of his life, and then dragged to a
tree, to which he was bound, his assailants
crying, ''If you call out, we viii kill you"
They then set to work to strip him Of all
the vauables that lie had upon hiln-a hand
some watch and chain and two or three rings
to begin with, and then. last but not least
quite a collection Of banknotes, after which
they decamped, Their unlucky victim writbed
and wrggled, and finally, after several hours
he succeeded in freeing himself from his
bonds The police are looking out for the
brigands, but apparently with every prospect
Of failure. II seems that on his way from
the Marie TO his villa the poor man had made
little halt at fair and on taking out his

Among Animals

LISBON, July "A bull fight en-
ti-ely without precedent has occurred
at Pelays, where there is a large cat
tie ranch for the breeding of the fierce
Spanish bulls for the various Sunday
contests in Spain and Portugal.
Herders were engaged in separating
the bulls and driving them into en-
closures preparatory to shipping them
to Madrid and Valencia, when a large
wooden stand in which were many
spectators from the surrounding viii
lagos, suddenly collapsed.
over 100 persons were thrown among
the bulls, which stampeded around the
enclosure, trampling and tossing the
victims.
Ten courageous cowboys" armed
with shotguns and rifles, jumped into
the arena and fired repeatedly at bulls
which were charging into the crowd.
Three men were gOred to death and
forty other spectators injured before
the bulls had been placed under con-
troll Six bulls were shot.

DAUGHTER GIVES SKIN
AND SAVES FATHERS LIFE
One Hundred Bits of CuticIe Are
Taken to Cover Bad Burn

PHILADELPHIA. July 2.-The at
tention Of Andrew Carnegie, who re-
wards heroism with medals and money
is respectfully called to young Miss
Beatrice Ryan of 5O7 North Fifty-sec-
ond street.
Beatrice, IA, gladly gave one hundred
pieces of her skin to be grated on her
father, who had been almost fatally
burned. The girls willing sacrifice,
which caused her acute pain, has saved
her fathers life. Not the least striking
phase of her heroism is that Beatrice
looked forward for a week to the oper-
alton of grating her skin on her
fathers back to form there minute
islands from which tilaments of
healthy flesh would extend and unite,
Instead of quailing from the ordeal
the child anticipated it almost pleas
urably.
"I did not mind" small Miss Beatrice
said. 'I didn't think much about it,
1 knew it would hurt, but I wanted
father to get well and 1 didn't mind II
1t did hurt. My brother Willie, who Is
II, would have been just as glad as
was to give his skin. He offered to,
but the doctor took mine instead. Any
how, I offered first.
after it was over it hurt like every
thing" added the unconscious heroine.
But, just think, after nine weeks
father is going to get well when all
the doctors thought he would die"
Her father, John Ryan, a Reading
railroad fireman, was shoveling coal
on his locomotive when torch back
of him ignited his clothes and he was
frightfully burned. DIR. A. B. Webster,
1921 Baltimore avenue, and several
other physicians took a deep interest
in the case. AS a last resort they de-
cided on the operation of grating.
1t was done ten days ago. Brave
Beatrice was etherized; piece by piece
! the bits of skin were transplanted from
her to her father, until two burrows, six
inches wide, were left on her delicate
thighs The operation, performed with
nice exactness, but with all possible
haste, lasted three hours.
Beatrice was seriously i'll for three
days afterward. The reward of her
devotion is that a new skin, literally
flesh of her flesh, is covering her
fathers wounds

confusion when, plunging forward as
the car started with jerk, he knocked
down an umbrella resting against femi-

snap beneath his feet.
"Oh, II beg ten thousand pardonsl"
he stammered.
'It is of no consequence" said a
sweet womans voice; mot of the least
consequence"
There's a woman in there who's all
right" blurted the awkward one to an
acquaintance, as he fell out on the
platform to cool and collect his wits.
"I've broken her umbrella to smith
Greens and she spoke, as If I'd handed
her a present. See, it's the one in

CRAZED MAN is FLOODED
FROM RAILWAY CARRIAGE
Takes Possession and Refuses to
Leave at Depot

PARIS, July 2.-Passengers in a train
from Douai to AmienS have met with
an extraordinary adventure. Among
their fellow passengers was an elderly
land owner hailing from Gironde, who
promptly took possession of a smoking
compartment and insisted on keeping
1t for himself. At first he urged his
claim in fairly polite manner, but ne
finally had recourse to forcible argu-
ments, brandishing a revolver when
ever anyone came his way and tugging
in the intervals at the alarm bell with
all his might. When the train reached
Amiens this eccentric person refused to
alight. The station master remonstrat-
ed, but in vain. The queer individual
had converted the compartment into a
miniature Fort Chabrol. He had low
cred the window curtain and stuffed
sticks and umbrellas into the handles
of the doors SO that they could not
turn, and every moment the muzzle Of
the revolver was pointed in one direc-
tion or another.
The station master proved equal to
the occasion. He had the car. detached
from the train and shunted, and as it
drew up alongside of a reservoir he
brought a hose into requisition, and
when the windows OF the compartment
were broken the rebellious traveller was
treated to a veritable deluge. At first
he tried to protect himself with the
cushions, but they were soon saturated
and as he crOuched in a corner police
men cantrived to effect an entrance.
Even then their man declined to sur
render. He showed fight, hitting one
of them in the face and biting another
in the hand as he caught him by the
collar. Finally the lunatic, for such
he was ascertained to be, though he
had already proved it sufficiently by
demonstration, was overpowered and
conveyed to the hospital. This excit-
ing adventure created considerable
senastion at Amiens and the unhappy
mans fellow travellers ar congratulat-
ing themselves on having got off so
cheaply.

JEALOUS FRENCHMAk! TRIES
MURDER AND SUICIDE

PARIS, July 2.-Gaston Berger is 25
and very jealous; Nine. Berger 20 and
very pretty. They married two years
ago and have been happy, with quar-
rels at intervals whenever CASTOR
Berger's jealousy found anything to
feed on. A few days since Nine. Ber-
ger smiled and waved her hand from
their sitting room window to her Sis
ter who was passing in the street.
M. Berger came into the room at
that moment and seeing her demanded
to know what man she was talking to
out of the window. When his wife
laughed at him he drew a revolver and
fired two shots at her. Fortunately
his aim was bad. Neighbors came
rushing upstairs and CASTOR, thinking
he had killed his wife, who had faint
ed from fright, threw himself out of
the window into the street. Although
the Bergers live on the third floor, the
only damage the Jealous husband did
to himself was to break a whist. Nine.
Berger was so touched by her jealous
husbands wish to kill himself that
she has pardoned him for trying to
murder her.
