His Methods of Work.
With all these labors and many out

usually spent the first half of the morn

material for future letters. About half

letter for which the data had been pro-
cured previously, and eat a lesurely
lunch. In the afternoon he would return
to his Office. If home, or his room, if
travelling. and get things into shape for
the article of the next day or the day
after that. His private correspondence
was necessarily large and took much
time.
He was in constant receipt of interest
world with whom he made it point to
keep in touch. BY half-past he stop
ped entirely until the next morning from
all labor and he had the faculty of re-
Taxing, throwing off the worries of the
days work and refreshing himself in
mind and body. AS young man he
knew no hours and continued his work
often far into the night. But on arriv-
ing at middle age he made it his in
variable rule never to work after sunset.
His energy and industry We're enormous
and he accomplished with no strain on
nerves or body in comparatively short
working day task that would seem to
most impossible.

SPLINTER OF GLASS IN BRAIN.
Child's Death Result of Accident,
Not of MENINGITIS.

NEW YORK, October 6.-An autopsy
performed by the Bronx coroner has re-
vealed that the death Wednesday of
Edna Steurer. the little daughter of Dr.
Clark Steurer, was caused not by spinal
meningitis. but by tiny splinter of glass
which had penetrated the spinal cord and
worked up into the brain The child re-
ceived the injury in an apparently trivial
accident two weeks ago, when she struck
her head against tumbler on the table.
The. tiny particle of glass entered be-
tween the first vertebra of the spine and
the base of the skull. and worked upward
as was disclosed by the autopsy, until it
went nearly to the frontal bone The
wound at the point of penetration was SO
small it could hardly be detected.
