Mr.. BrOkaw's assertion caused
widespread smile in the court room.
A moment previously he had testified
that he was worth Sl.63S,937, the

the court which has been trying his
wife's suit for a separation.
The hearing yesterday was for the
purpose of receiving this statement

Il is generally believed that only the
question of alimony remains a factor
in the case ON which Justice Putnam
is expected to give his final decision

After Attorney Baldwin, for Mrs.
Brokaw. had examined the statement

court decided to receive it, however,
but gave the lawyer permission TO
question Mr. Brokaw.
Mr. Brokaw said that the manage

UNION COLLEGE FIRE
Section of Old South College Was
Completely Destroyed.

Fire visited Union college Science
tady, early Saturday morning and
completely destroyed the section of
old South college occupied by the
family of Prof, Edward Everett Hale,
ST., son of the late DR. Edward Ever
EFT Hale. The college chapel and
one of the dormitories We're for
time seriously threatened, and it re-
quired the combined efforts of the
entire fire department to save them.
A servant girl had timely rescue
from the upper story which the fire
men reached by ladders.
Prof, Hale and famil were out of
the city Many valuable relics and
curios were destroyed. The chapel
bells awoke the students at the col
lege and they formed a relief brigade
and removed many valuables from
the burning building. The loss is es-
timated at about $4,000.
The burned building formerly con
tanned class rooms for students, but
lately was used as a storehouse for
curios and as a residence for Prof
Hale.

REJECTS NEW MARS CANALS
Pickering Says Lowell's Idea that Mar
tans Are Still Digging is Absurd

Cambridge, Mass, Jan PROF
William II Pickering of Harvard Uni
versity takes exception to the state
ments made by Dr. Perciyal Lowell,
the Astronomer Of Flagstaff. at the
Convention of the American Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Scien-
ces held in Boston last week that
there exist on Mars canals or sys-
TEN of passages made by nature or
by human energy and workmanship.
Prof. Pickering in talking OF Dr.
Iowells statement, said:
Il don't believe that Prof Lowell
has made any new discovery of the
growth Of so-called canals on Mars,
other than what | myself have OBJ
served Many times / have watched
these self-same so-called canals grow
and Dr. Lowell has undoubtedly OBJ
served the same ones as have The
idea, however, that new canals are
being dug on Mars all the time is alb
surd.
MY view on the matter is that
appearances of canals that the glass
gives the astronomer are Illusions
caused by the growth of a highly col
ored vegetation which abounds on
the planet in rapidly growing randi
, ing beds Prof Lowell believes that
fthere are actual canals existing there
and that they are now in process Of
4 construction at the hands Of animate
beings He believes with me in the
teXistence Of the vegetation, but says
it runs along the banks of the dit

ment that there are human beings Of
Mars, nor can | believe that there
are actual bitches or canals on tn,
planet If there are canals there, my
Il only inference as to their origin is
that they are the results Of volcanic

The triennial convention of the Ma

churches. which brought its ten days
session in Boston to u close Thursday
night. took what is perhaps the most
extreme step in its history. for many
wears at least. Instead of being mere
~ advisory the Council is now in
vested with administrative functions.
That evidently places restrictions on
the Independence of individual church,
cs. which had hitherto been one OF the
most cherished features. and it is
small wonder that a large minority
of the delegates opposed such action

Well, Why Do They?

IF there is one thing which our
railroads are more backward in than
another. it is this obsolete method OF
Transporting dead bodies" says the
Omaha Bee. and adds: why should
the fiction be preserved that the
corpse should travel by rail on the
same basis as live person when the
fiction is maintained in no other pub
lie conveyance? Why should the rail-
roads in this twentieth century go
through the motions of carrying 100
pounds of baggage free for someone
who has no use for baggage at all?
Why should corpse have to go into
baggage car. anyway, along with the
trunks, sample cases, dogs, guns, BIZ
cycles and canary BIRDS
At a recent meeting of passenger
agents representing the big railroads
of the country, a set of uniform rules
and regulations were adopted defining
and governing the baggage privileges
of the travelling public. The number
of pounds of luggage. the limit of size
the accommoda tions for dogs, guns
bicycles, and canary birds. the system
OF through checking, the requirements
for Identifying baggage when checks
are lost. are all infinitely stipulated
But in addition to these rational and
salutary regulations is reannounce-
ment of the cid rule requiring two
full-fare, frst-class passenger tickets
for every corpse, one for the remains
carried in the baggage car. with a
right to $50 pounds of baggage free
for the deceased. and the other for an
accompanying passenger in the coach
