1 N. F. Warner, the well-known un
' dertaker, returned yesterday forenoon
l from his sad trip to Chicago, where j
1 he went to supervise the cremation of
i the reinains of Harry Hayward. One j
i result of Mr. Warner's journey is that j
1 he has returned to this city a full- I
' fledged convert to the idea of crema
-1 tion. He is now enthusiastically in j
favor of it as being the most natural |
* way of disposing of the remains. He
§ is even considering the feasibility and
1 advisability of organizing a local so- ]
* cietj for the purpose of the erection '
1 in this city of a crematory similar to |
« that now existing in Chicago. The ;
* number of incinerations at the latter
. place is steadily increasing, and bodies
; are forwarded from all parts of the ;
: "West fur cremation. There was no i
? trouble whatever with the health of- i
'. licials. Mr. Warner did not hear any
-1 thing of the negligence to take out a >
' permit until long after the remains
< had been cremated. This was for the j
" simple reason that the crematory of
*. licials were under the impression that j
I a certificate issued by a city board of ,
: health ought to be good all over the j
* Union.
At the crematory, a fine building in :
# one of the most beautiful spots of the
' notoriously beautiful Graceland ceme- i
tery, all was in readiness for the mcm.
. eration. The coffin was at once placed
*-. en a stone slab, from which it slowly j
' glided into the heated oven. It took
' four hours and some minutes to re
} duce the remains of Harry Hayward j
} to ashes. At the end of that time ;
i there was nothing left of his once so j
I strong and manly body but a heap of
gray ashes, surrounded by another |
ring of blacker ashes, denoting what ;
was left of the coffin. The ashes were j
put in a tin box 5x5 inches and 9 inch- I
es high. That box was filled to the
brim. When it had been duly sealed it
was found to be as heavy as if it had i
been filled with lead. Upon his return j
to this city yesterday Mr. Warner at j
once forwarded the box with the ashes
to Lakewood cemetery. It will be put
in a stone casket and deposited in the
Hayward family vault, and thus is
ended the career of Hayward: "Dust ,
to dust."
HAYWARD-S BRAIN.
i Physician Makes an Examination
of It.
( A well-know specialist has made an I
i examination of Harry Hayward's brain,
which has now hardened sufficiently
. to make it possible to judge of the char- i
* acter of the man. This specialist does
not desire to have his name known, as
he thinks it would injure his reputation j
to be connected professionally, even
remotely, with the late prisoner. For !
that reason he has particularly request- |
ed that it be withheld. In company j
with a reporter he repaired to the resi- I
dence of a well-known local physician,
who has been entrusted with the pres
', ervation of the brain.
Removing from its alcoholic bath,
\ where it had been hardening, the en
cephalic mass of ganglia, including a j
portion of the medulla oblongata, which I
had controlled the movements of that j
most eccentric criminal, the specialist j
I proceeded at once to study carefully
; the construction of the peculiar mass
before him.
i With remarable deftnes . sthe spe
cialist severed the two hemispheres
transversely with a knife, exposing the
interior of the brain structure, which
appeared white in the center and gray
at the margins of the convolutions, |
the latter penetrating to various depths \
below the surface. The white sub- |
stance was dotted with the blood yes- j
sels that had supplied that fertile brain.
The dissection was rapidly and skill- \
fully done, the physician commenting
on the peculiarities shown by the differ
ent parts. Nothing new was developed
by the examination of the abnormal
condition of portions of the structure
but confirming what is already known
of the character of the man.
- HOLL HUNG HIMSELF.
It Is Supposed That He Committed
Suicide in a Fit of Despond
ency.
At 2317 Minnehaha avenue stands an
empty two-story frame store building.
At one time it was occupied as a sa
loon. Early yesterday morning, a citi
zen passing, by on the avenue chanced
to glance in the windows and to his
horror saw hanging within the body of
a man. He rubbed his eyes to make
sure he was not dreaming of the Hay
ward execution and then hurried to the
Third precinct station. Officer Lackey
was sent to the number given and cut
down the inanimate form.
The body was identified as that of
John Holl, a laboring man, residing
with his brother at 2227 Twenty-and
One-half avenue south. An investiga
i tion showed that Holl hal left his home
\ about 5 o'clock yesterday morning, tak
-1 ing with him a strong rope. He had
been in the Dakota harvest fields dur
ing the summer past and since his re
turn to Minneapolis had been unable
to find work. He had also been drink
ing for the past few weeks.
Coroner Kistler was notified and the
the doctors
approve of Scott's
Emulsion. For whom?. For
men and women who are weak,
when they should be strong ;
for babies and children who
are thin, when they should be
fat ; for all who get no nourish
. ment from their food. Poor
blood is starved blood. Con
sumption and Scrofula never
come without this starvation.
And nothing is better for
starved blood than cod-liver
oil. Scott's Emulsion is
cod-liver oil with the fish-fat
taste taken out.

AVatchmnn's Disaster."
"William Ward, night watchman in the Min
neapolis Trust company's building, at Fourth
street and Hennepin avenue, was seriously
injured about 1 o'clock yesterday morning by
falling down an iron stairway leading from
the ground floor to the basement. Ward
pulled his box, which reports to the A. D. T.,
at 1 o'clock. The next pull he missed, and I
the A. D. T. at once sent a messenger, as is j
the custom, to find out what was the trouble.
The messenger boy found Ward lying uncon
scious on the basement floor. Dr. S. M.
Moulton was called, and found the man in
jured internally, as well as painfully bruised.
He was made as comfortable as possible until
daylight, when he was sent to his home at 245
Seventh avenue in a carriage.

SAL DEN.
A Literary "Workshop Fitted Up to
Suit a Ready Writer.
New York Herald.
Mr. Sala's talent and industry paid
him well, financially, and he was not
limited to one place for writing, even
in a house situated in an expensive
part of London. This den was the one ;
devoted to newspaper articles for the
Illustrated London News and the Daily
Telegraph. The walls, says an article
written some time ago, are filled to the \
top with reference books, placed on
stained shelves he has had built in to ;
fit the room. On the floor is a light
bamboo matting, and there is a preva
lence of restful green color, in the up- j
holstering of the revolving chair-, the |
table cover and the curtains. In this
room is everything pertaining to news
paper journalism.and as I look about me
and realize the volumes filled with items
my fingers itch for a pen, and I feel
that I could write a novel instantly,
for all that is to be seen consists of
books and writing materials. "Satur
day Reviews," from the maiden copy to
one scarcely dry from the press room;
encyclopedias of every conceivable
kind, and curious and rare common
place, books. "Here," he explained, "I
write for that great and glorious crea
ture, the newspaper, and her sober sis
ter, the magazine." Then he shows us :
some books of reference of his own
compiling. He is now at the thirtieth
of these unique volumes. They contain
quotations from standard works, with
personal reflections, and are written in
his fine handwriting, looking like Ara
bic characters at a first glance, but,
closely inspected, can be read with ease,
as each letter is -neat, distinct and per
fect. Each volume has its proper in- j
dcx, and they all serve as a reflection
of the author's genius, his versatility
and his life labor, for they are works
on which he has labored at odd min
utes daily since he began his literary
career. He proposes to bequeath them
to the British museum at his death,
and well they deserve national impor
tance, as the "Sala Encyclopedia." The
neatness and beauty of Mr. Sala's
handwriting is a proverb in London,
and shows the artistic side of his men
tal caliber as nothing else does.
This handwriting, by the way, was
acquired under singular difficulties, as
may be seen from the statement in his
memoirs: When I was about six years
eld it appears that my "ftirse at Edge- j
ware was informed that I was about to i
be removed from her custody. She
evinced her displeasure at my being
taken away in a remarkably decisive
manner. I had an attack of measles, i
and as I was recovering this strong
minded woman — it was in the month of
March opened every door and window j
in her cottage, and left them open for
a considerable time. The result was a !
horrible attack of inflammation. I
turned purple, I lost my hearing, and. !
some think, afterward my sight. I j
shudder now sometimes when I think of
the tortures that I underwent through I
the kind endeavors of those who loved !
me to make me see. I will not posi
tively say that my eyes were ever tak
en out and scraped, and then put back j
again, but it seemed to me that sur- !
gical science almost exhausted itself
in endeavors to lighten my imminent
darkness. I really do not know how
long I was completely deprived of sight,
but I finally recovered it so perfectly
that I was able through some years
to follow the craft of an engraver on
metal and stone; recovered so com
pletely that I acquired a minute hand
writing, in which I have indited thou- j
sands of leaders and paragraphs and
forty books of fiction and travels and
adventures. The other eye— the right
one— has never been good for much.
Mr. Sala had a fancy for having a
room for each different kind of work,
a practice which certainly relieves the
strain which a versatile man finds in
changing from one task to another.
The same interviewer proceeds: An
other room on the same floor is de
voted to fiction writing, and, as imagi
nation rather than philosophy sways
him here when, with his "thinking cap"
on, he enters the room, he has it fitted
up In the most luxurious manner, and
I with all the warmth of color needed to
i inspire extravagance of thought. Mr.
I Sala is a great believer in the theory
j that one's surroundings have much to
! do with their intellectual moods and
tenses. So. if he writes philosoDhically,
cynically, didactically or fancifully, he
does so in a room fitted up in accord
ance. One room Is fitted in the severe
early English style, and its few pieces
of ornament are classic in character.
jTo this room we are not invited. Our
London friend whispers that Mr. Sala
I has been writing there in the early
j hours of the day, and that his papers
j are scattered about, and, besides, he
! has a little idiosyncrasy .that the men
tal magnetism and sequence of his rev
eries must not be disturbed until his
particular work is finished:

An Army Company of Relatives.
Savannah (Ga.) Press.
There is a movement in Horry county,
South Carolina, for the erection of a monu
ment to the Confederate dead of the Tenth
regiment, South Carolina volunteers. This
regiment had in it one company that became
somewhat famous for its composition as well
as its fighting qualities. The Athens Banner
has been studying up the history of the regi
ment. It tells us. that it was made up almost
entirely of men from a dozen or mora, families,
and that they were about all related to each
other. There were some ten Chestnuts, four
teen Johnsons, six or seven Alfords and so on.
The captain of the company was the cousin
of nearly every man in the ranks who was got
his brother. It was his custom In drilling to
address his men in the most kindly manner,
somewhat in this way: "Co*sln Jeems, dress
to the right; Buddy George, please swell
your chest; Cousin Arthur, you want to turn
toes out, not in." But when it came to fight
there were no more brave or daring fentows
in the service than the Tenth regiment "but

Some one has been at the pains re
cently to make an analysis of the char- j
acteristics of more than 30,000 promi- ;
nent men of modern times with special j
reference to the Jewish race. The re
sults are curious and interesting. They
bear testimony also to the remarkable \
versatility and adaptability of the Jew- |
ish people and their, tenacity of purpose, j
even under the most ' adverse condi
tions. . ... . j .' ■.-.
Although Moses, the greatest of law
givers, . and Joshua, one of the most j
brilliant and successful generals, were
of the. Jewish. race, .in. modern times.'the !
Jew is. less distinguished than men of ' j
other creeds generally as • • statesmen !
and soldiers. They have no distinction
whatever as agriculturists, engravers,
sailors and explorers. • '. j
Their greatest service to the world
has been accomplished in the capacity
of actors, doctors, financiers, metaphy
sicians, musicians, poets and philoso
phers. In all these lines of human
thought and endeavor they have con
tributed many illustrious, immortal
names. ■:' '.■*■"*■•' . . ' ;
Astronomical science has no brighter
name upon its roll that Herschell, the
Jew, and mathematics boasts no great-,
er service than that which it received
at the hands of Jacobi Cremona. In
biology also the once despised Hebrew
has made his mark. Bernstein, Remak,
Rosenthal and* Valentine have done
large service as physiologists; Cohn
helm, Hirsch, Liebreich, Lombroso and j
Troube as pathologists will, perhaps, ;
i be recognized, while* F. Cohn is, per- j
! haps, the third greatest botanist in I

But it is in the realm of music that

would be had not these men of the Jew

THEIR CRITICISM.
pf{E SOLID BASIS.
PANIC FROM WAR - SCARE WAS
LIKE MEDICINE FOR "WALL
STREET.
BARGAINS FOR INVESTORS,
AND MEN WITH .MONEY WERE NOT
SLOW TO UTILIZE
THEM.
HENRY CLEWS* . WEEKLY REPORT.
It Point. Out That the Facilities for
Gold Withdrawals Are
Too Good.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.— Henry. Clews,
in his weekly report of the financial
situation in Wall street, says:
The severe break in the stock mar
ket on Friday and Saturday of las'
week indicated a real, live panic. It
was short, sharp and decisive. It
represented an immense quantity of
forced selling on the various steep de
j clines which took place on those two
I days. Of course a good deal of selling
j came also from frightened holders,
both in this country and in Europe,
• who were badly scared by the war
talk. The panic continued until the
liquidation selling and the war scare
selling exhausted itself. Investment
buying stepped into the breach, as is
usual at all panic periods, and quickly
: absorbed the stocks and bonds that
were sold at bargain prices. In that
way Wall street was relieved of its
burden, and is in consequence now on
a more solid . basis than before. Peo
■ pie who had idle money on hand have
j now invested it in properties that were
i previously in speculative hands on mar-
I gins. Weak holders are out and strong
j holders have taken their, places, thus j
' removing any further danger to Wall
street or even of renewal of the panic.
! The panic has come and gone, and the
' financial situation in consequence is
not unlike the effect of cutting off a
dog's tail— it can't be done over again.
The time has now arrived for the
banks to do all they can to protect the
United States treasury from periodical
, gold drains, and they can easily do it
I by an understanding amongst them-
I selves—to make it less easy for their
' dealers to draw greenbacks from them
; to get gold from the treasury. If the
| greenbacks, when demanded, are paid
I out in small bills over the counter,
requiring each bill to be counted be
fore leaving the bank, and then count
ed again at the treasury, and the gold
given therefor also paid out over the
counter, requiring it to be counted by
the receiver, it would not be so easy
or agreeable a matter to draw gold
from the treasury. The banks of En
gland, France and Germany put all
the obstacles possible in the way when
gold is required from them in large
amounts to send out of their coun
j tries, while in this country we have
always done exactly the opposite. Tht
banks have furnished the facilities by
giving greenbacks in large quantities,
when called for, which are presented
to the treasury as received from the
banks, and the government gives gold
in exchange almost instantly in bags
. with the' government's ' seal on, the
amount being officially marked there-"
i on. These bags as received from the
| treasury are put on shipboard and de
| part from our country seriously to
! our detriment in times like these. The
general feeling in Wall street now 12
that the war panic is over, and that
! President ' Cleveland will appoint as
i members of the Venezuelan commis
; sion able, dignified and upright men,
i and that such a commission can then
be relied upon to be instrumental' in
! effecting a settlement of the Anglo
j Venezuelan boundary dispute to the
| credit and honor c_ both countries. A
j settlement through diplomacy will cer
; tainly make a better record for Presi
*den Cleveland and congress than can
possibly be obtained through drawing
the sword against a nation of our
own flesh, blood and language, a peo
ple with whom united we stand, di
vided we fall. The present contest
of races is for domination. It is, there
fore, all important for the English
speaking people to stand together. It
means the spreading of civilization
and Christianity to all parts of the
globe. A war between England and
j the United States would be in reality
i a civil war, and, as both nations are
brave, bold and determined in war
fare, the disaster would be beyond
conception, and could only result as a
victory to barbarism; or, at any rate,
a tremendous setback to civilization.
The financial situation now needs
congressional action for its repair. If
a bill were speedily passed of the fol
lowing character I think it would
meet the case, as the governmenl
wants gold now and not currency:
The act should provide for an issue
of certificates having three years to
run, payable in gold, bearing 3 per
cent interest, to be sold at 100 only
: for gold. On. such an obligation the
governmeht could get all the gold from
time to time that it needed without
any difficulty. . I suggest a certificate
in place of a bond to be issued, be
cause it is argued in congress that to
pass an act to issue gold bonds at the
present time would be an invidious
distinction . against the other bonds
now out, as they all specify payable
in coin.

Some Recovery in Prices in London
Mnrk.ts.
LONDON, Dec. 29.— Money rates con
tinue fairly firm. The waning of the
war excitement has produced a speedy
recovery in prices for foreigners and
in other markets, which were influ
enced by the American slump, the low
prices having attracted 'investors. The
Christmas week has been rather active
and the outlook is much better than
last Saturday. Americans and Cana
dians have risen almost all along the
list with the exception of Lake Shore,

It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years' use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria is the Children's Panacea
—the Mother's Friend.
Castoria. Castoria.
•"Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend It a. superior to any prescription
known to me." H. A. Archer, M. D.,
•:;. i .y: : - 11l So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
•'The use of •Castoria' is so universal and
its merits so well known that it seems a work !
of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the
intelligent families who do not keep Castoria
within easy reach."

POKER FLAT.
Famous Place Has Die— Out, as Have
Most of Its Notorieties.
San Francisco Call.
Half an hour of slow descent and we
reach the head of the canyon by a sharp
turn in the trail. At last we are in
Poker Flat, the wild mining camp of
: 1.52, that turned out $700,000 in gold
, bullion in a single month and then cele
brated the event with a triple hanging.
I It was Poker Flat, too, that experienced
i a spasm of virtue soon after the tragic
! affair, and under its regenerating in
fluence sent forth the outcast wander
! ers of Bret Harte's story to die of cold
] and starvation -on the snowbound road
|to Sandy Bar. There are no Oakhursts
j at Poker Flat now, and "Uncle Billy"
: has no counterpart in the present popu
lation,- for the very simple reason that
there are no sluice boxes to rob and no
money to win over the gambling table.
i Of "Mother Shiptons," however, there
I are several.
Our greeting was not cordial. Mr.
j Rugg laid it all to the snow plants
! which he had gathered, and, going into
! mountain lore, told of families that had
j been" separated by taking this bulb of
j evil omen into the sacred precincts of
i the home. To carry a snow plant is to
| have bad luck. Conceal it as you will,
those with whom you come in contact
i will somehow divine your secret and
shun you accordingly. Your pay streak
will peter out, you will never hold more
than one small pair, the slickens men
I from Marysville will catch you napping
! over a monitor, and most likely your
I wife will run away with a tin-horn '
i gambler, who will turn out later as a !
; confirmed sluice robber — this if you
carry a snow plant. So runs the folk j
! lore of the hills.
On the porch of one of the six houses !
'■ that now constitute the town of Poker \
; Flat a large, red-faced woman sat in a
rocking chair smoking a clay pipe. She :
, wore a short green dress that fell an I
\ inch or so below the tops of a pair of !
1 strong cowhide boots (to which were ;
' attached heavy brass spurs), a paper ;
collar, cravat and faded straw hat.
Thickly covered with ciiaparral.with
here and there patches of wild sun
flowers and lupine, interspersed with
prospect holes, the slope presented a
scene of utter ruin. Some of the graves
have wooden headboards, others are
marked by stakes, while many have
nothing at all. There are eight peop
ple in the town, and eighty sleeping
in this ruined ground. Nearly all of
them were laid to rest without relig
ious rites of any kind other than the
reading of a chapter from the Bible by
Charles Pond. "-*.':
Pond was a professional gambler, but
was always selected for this service
on account of his fine voice and orator
ical effect. . . ,'. ' ; ',' "-"..
"The boys always liked Pond," said
Henry Waggoner, one of the old set
tlers of Poker Flat. "He could read
better than any one else, and so he
; did the burying, and at times business
in this line was exceedingly lively.
Twice a year a priest used to come
over from Downieville, but we could
not always wait for an ordained
clergyman. Things went with a rush
in those days and the climate of Poker
Flat seemed to be conducive to sud
den death."
Gold was discovered in Poker Flat
in 1852, and two years later 2,000 peo
ple had gathered in this rich canyon.
There were fifteen stores, five hotels,
! three dance halls and seven gambling
houses. In 1856 a circus came to town,
and sold 1,500 tickets at $20 each. The
following year a man named Joslyn
picked up a nugget worth $4,000. To
celebrate his good luck he got full and
offered the whole piece to his partner
in exchange for the latter's wife. The
man accepted, and, without the for
mality of divorce proceedings, Joslyn
and the woman were married and left
town. Two days after he committed
suicide at Gibsonville. His former
partner also left town and bought some
land near San Jose. Two years ago,
on Aug. 22, he died wealthy and re
spected at a good old age, but it is
doubtful if more than half a dozen peo
ple in the world knew how the founda
tion of his fortune was laid. :;'".;.
Henderson's big iron safe, over which
the noted faro dealer shed his heart's
blood in defending his money in Sep
tember, 1867, stands a ruin by the trail,
half burled in the sand, just above the
Bittlnger house.
Poker Flat will not last long, and
when the pioneers have all been gath
ered to their fathers this lively and ro
mantic camp of early days will be for
gotten and given over again to be a
safe and sheltered feeding spot for
wild deer.

whole mercantile service. He has, however,
a great deal of importance, and loses no
opportunity of impressing it upon his crew.
In particular, lie insists upon being addressed
•as "Sir" by every one on board. One day a
new hand joined the ship, and a short time
after leaving harbor, • being a seasoned old
salt, he was intrusted with the wheel. The
captain came up and put the usual question:
"How's her head?"
"Nor'-by-east," answered the old tar very
gruffly.
"My man." suavely answered the captain,
"on this craft, when one of the crew speaks
to me, he gives me a title of respect. Don't
you think you might do so, too? Now, how's
her head?"
"Nor'-by-east, I tell you." shouted the tar,
displaying not a little irritation.
"I'm afraid you don't quite understand
me," responded the captain good humoredly.
"Let me relieve you at the wheel, and then
do you take my place and ask. me the ques
tion. I will then show you how it should be
answered." They accordingly chang-d places.
- "Ow's her 'cad?" roared the tar.
"Nor'-by-east, sir," replied the captain,
with emphasis on the "sir."
"Then keep her so, my man, while I goes
forrard and has a smoke," was the startling
rejoinder from the old reprobate, who calmly
commenced to suit the action to the word.
For the first time on record the captain lost
his temper.

"Confound it!" growled the well-known
dialect poet. "Success as well as failure has

"What is the matter, my dear?" asked the
wife of his bosom.
"Why, in the days when I was unknown
the editors often refused to append my name
to my productions, preferring to publish them
anonymously; and now, when I am famous,
they credit to me all the unidentified verse
they run across!"
