~ ESSE w. BRYAN, prominent at
torney and well known clubman
of this city. was run down by an
automobile while crossing Market
street in front of the Palace hotel early
last night and died several minutes
later on the operating table at the
harbor emergency hospital. Whether
Bryan died from the result OF injuries
received in the accident or from heart
trouble has not been determined by the
surgeons at the hospital. An examina-
ton failed to reveal and bruises about
the body and there was no fracture of
the skull
The machine was driven by Lewis H
Watson, an employe of the Otis Ele-
vator company. In the machine besides
the driver was r. ]. Huntington, west
ern manager of the concern.
Bryan. who has offices in the Mer-
chants Exchange building, was on his
way to keep an appointment at the
Palace hotel. On reaching the hotel
Bryan discovered that he was a little
early. He then left the hotel at the
Market street entrance and started to
walk across the street.

The attorney was between the safety
station and the curb on the north side
Of Market street when the automobile,
which was coming up Market. ran into
him. According to witnesses the ma
chine was not travelling at high speed
Bryan evidently saw the car just be-
fore 1t hit him. as he was seen to make
lurch backward as IL to avoid the
collision. AS he did so his feet slipped
and he fell on his back. the machine
running over his body.
Corporal OF Police Charles Goff, who
was oily several feet away when the
accident occurred, rushed to the scene
and helped the dflvAr of the machine
place Bryan in his automobile With
Goff seated in the front seat Of the
machine, Watson rushed the attorney
to the aarbor hospital Before the sur
geons there were able to remove his
garments to make an examination Bry-
ant died.
Gof placed Watson under arrest and
charged him with manslaughter. He
was released on 500 bail, the release
being signed by Police Judge ]. j. Sui
livan.
Il was driving the machine at very
slow speed, owing to the crossing" said
Watson at the city prison after his ar
rest. when 1 was directly in front
of the safety station / saw the figure
OF man step from behind the lamp
post. I quickly threw on my brakes,
but before 1 could bring the car to
standstill the man had fallen backward

over his body, the car having been
brought to q stop before the rear
wheels reached him. / only thought
him slightly injured when I lifted him
into the car and was greatly surprised
to learn that he had died from his in

They Saved His Life.

Does it pay to stop your motor car
after an accident and go back to see
what has happened? Two young mo-
florists on the south side believe it
does.
With a green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out q new model
touring car. They were sitting in the
back seat when the greenhorn at the
steering wheel gave it a twist and
came within an ace of hitting an old
man at a crossing. The victim was
so shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered in an in
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
that things looked bad. but that they
had better go back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for a nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make it for him that
when they took him home to his wife
he introduced them as THE two young
men who saved my life"
They are now thinking of applying
for Carnegie medals.

ShrOuded In mystery. 1t is the story
of an angel-devil, an inspired black
guard, slum-hero, pickpocket-poet,
thief and murderer whose poetical
genius was scarce short Of sublime.
In the low = Terns of Paris, about
the middle of the fifteenth century,
the riff-raff of the local underworld
raised for themselves an idol, in the
shape of brilliant youth of high edu-
cation, who preferred to choose his
chums from the sordid criminal class
rather than from among his equals
He fought, stole, caroused and killed
with ruffians, then wrote wondrous
poems that were so musical that even
his besotted comrades loved them.
The slang Of the Thieves Kitchens
was his. So was a flow Of the most
beautiful language known to man.
This youth was variously known by
a string of aliases. Among these
names were Corbier, Piton, De Mont
corbier, Des Leges, Corbeuil and Fran
co.'s Villon. Which, if any, of the
names was really his own is uncer-
tain. 1t was almost surely not evil
lon Yet by that alone he is known
to history. Some say he borrowed
the name "Villon" from his rich
guardian, Guillaume de Villon. Others
claim that it was merely nickname,
and that it was whimsically chosen
by him because it was a French term
for Crook" or "blackguard."
Villon had wealthy, influential
friends First and last, he needed all
their influence and appropriated not a
little, of their wealth. His earliest
known clash with the law was in
1455, when he was twenty-four years
old He was at that time a college
graduate and master Of arts. Re
turning from a drunken revel one
night he met priest. A quarrel en-
sued ard Villon stabbed the priest to
death Then he fed to some kindly
shelter in the slums where the laws
grip could not reach him, and hid
among his criminal admirers until
family influence could win a pardon
for him.

He framed a law by which 100000

a wish to behead an entire French

1t was while he was wrapped IN
sheet in the steaming bathtub on the
evening of July 10, 1898, that young
girl from the provinces called to see
him. She said she had with her
list of traitors names and began te
read them to him. Marat listened
greedily. At the end he croaked:
'They shall die! Every one o.
them!"

Corday-stabbed him to the heart
She had hoped to free France from &

made the people regard a monster a:

when France was slaughter house.
The French Revolution was at its
height. After throwing off the cruel
bondage of royalty under which they
had groaned for centuries, the French
people beheaded their old tyrants, the
aristocrats. Then, the thirst for
blood being still unslaked, they fell
to beheading each other. The Reign
of Terror" set in.
And the heart and soul Of the Reign
of Terror was Marat. He was a Swiss
by birth and had g.. various times
been scientist, a literary man, a
physician and-so says Carlyle-a
horse doctor. When the revolution be-
gan he started a paper called THE
Friend of the People" 1t was prob
ably the most scurrilous, bloodthirsty
sheet ever published
The revolution at that time had
not wholly thrown sanity aside.
Marat's arrest was ordered. He es-
capped and fed to the lowest slums.
There, hiding in the sewers and Gel
lars, he spent his time making friends
with the vile OutcaStS OF the Paris I'M
derworld and in preaching to them his
doctrine of wholesale murder From
time to time, as the revolution waxed
more fierce, he would emerge from
hiding with new plans for deeds of
violence. Each time the saner leaders
denounced him. But, soon or late,
they followed his advice. And thus
the revolution grew daily into the
Reign of Terror.
At last it became safe for Marat to
come wholly out Of seclusion and to
proclaim aloud, by voice and by his
newspaper, his ideas for the death of
his fellowmen. The revolutionary
leaders feared and hated him. They
held him in contempt for his squalid
filth and his shrieking clamor for

AID is SOUGHT FOR INDIANS
Catawbas of South Carolina Have Al
ways Been Friendly to the
Whites.

In South Carolina is the earliest
civilized tribe of Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards of
the government. These are the Ca
tawbas, and they number approximate
ly 100.
State Senator w II. Stewart, of
South Carolina, is in Washington TO
confer with the congressional deiega-
ton of that state with the view OF
having these Indians placed on the
same basis as all other red men. and
it is probable that a bill will shortly
be introduced to this end
ut is strange, perhaps, that the Ca
tawba Indians, who have been wards
of the state of South Carolina for
many years should never have recelV-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
but it is a fact, nevertheless. The
Catawbas are the only American In
dams, so far as my knowledge goes,
that have always been friends of the
white man. They never took the blood
Of white man, and during all the
early struggles of the whites against
the Indians the Catawbas remained
true. They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach
ed that territory, and they have re
manned there.
For long time the Cherokees oc
cupied the same territory, and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent In all the struggles the Ca
tawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many of the settlers
in South Carolina.
The state government, after having
taken care Of these Indians for 81
many years, now is seeking to have
the national government make pro
vision for them, so that they can, il
common with other Indians, have
lands lands allotted to them and be
come American citizens, which is on
ly just and fair. "-Washington Post.

A year or two later he was in trou-
BILE again. This time it was tavern
brawl. Villon did not figure very
favorabIy in the affair In fact, after
a severe beating he ran away from
Paris; more to avoid ridicule than to
escape punishment. In the early
spring Of 1856 he became a student
at the College of Navarro, near An
gers, France. A few weeks later the
treasure chest in the college chapel
was robbed A band of student thieves
that Villon was the ringleader of the
gang who had broken into the chapel,
and that the poet was even then plan
ming new robberies.
Villon was put to the torture and
then sentenced to be hanged. AS he
lay in prison, waiting for execution,
he wrote one of his greatest poems;
a grim, wonderful bit of verse, en-
titled, "Ballade of the Hanged" Again
his friends influence, coupled with his
own wit, came to the poets aid. His
death sentence was committed to ban
ishment
Villon then drifted from one Euro
pean capital to another; sometimes
living il doubtful fashion by his wits,
sometimes hobnobbing with such
princes and mobiles as could appreciate
his rare genius. OF his life during
these wanderings little is known But,
four years later, he was cast into
said, for the crime of sacrilege. He
spent the summer Of 1851 in a CELL
but was set free in a general Jail de-
livery in October of that year.
His old spirit of wild, reckless ad-
venture seemed gone. Soon afterward
he wrote his famous Grand Tesla
ment," work that breathes of weari-
ness, regret and utter dependency
Broken by prison and by dissipation
he is said to have died of consumption
at the age of thirty. zone or two his
torians believe he lived. to be an old
man; but, from his thirtieth year no
no record of him can be found.
Villon's poetic genius stands out
like a gem in a mire. The strange
twist Of brain that made him a Grim

verse as no man of his time had at

Of the man himself, nothing good

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks Of his own expe-
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although l had palpitation of the
heart every day. Tea contains cat.
Ieine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally one day a severe and al.
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and csffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time | have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when l tried small
quantity of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me l must let
1t alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because We
did not make it according to directions
but now we put little bit Of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full 10 minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
L have advised a great many of
my friends and patients to leave of
coffee and drink Postum, in fact daily
give this advice" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients.

one appears from time to time. They

Milky Way Causes Glaciers.

Another suggested cause OF glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting OF the milky way, such as
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much of the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spitaler
finds that the change of position in re-
lation to the milky way might have
given different distribution of tenn
perature from that existing at the
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region OF the milky
way, but many of them are of the hot
test type.
