    ■■ CASE OF DR. HUGER.
i&m
ANT yean ago I
was detailed on a
cut which, after
many strange and
unexpected devel
opments, resulted,
as I have always
believed, In cutting
short the career
of a man who had
combined murder
ff' flu Art Fortunately he had
practiced thla art only a short
time, but evidence was discovered
which showed that whenever
he had set about accomplishing a
purpose no human life was allowed to
' stand in his way.
“Arthur Hodgson was a retired mer
chant, well along In years, with a good
si sed fortune and a young and charm
ing wife, whom he suspected of trying
to get rid of him. He was in poor
health. His attending physician was
Dr. Louis Huger. The latter had been
in the city less than a year, but was
reputed a very learned man in his pro
■ tession and had already .established a
targe practice. Hodgson had met him
first while traveling in Europe. The
doctor had known Mrs. Hodgson before
her marriage, and she had unbounded
faith in his Skill.
"Hodgson would not make a direct
charge against his wjfe or the doctor,
in fact, he did not want anyone arrested
. and above all desired to avoid any
publicity,* He asked that his wife and
the doctor be shadowed for a time by
a discreet detective. The chief prom
*, Ised that he would have them watched,
: ; and the old man went away looking
much relieved.
"No revelatlou came to the surface
and Anally the case was dropped.
"One night a servant brought to the
* central office a note for the chief. It
* ' was not delivered until next morning,
and then the chief turned It over to me.
^ tt was 'from Arthur Hodgson and con*
talned only these words, roughly
asrawled with pencil:
V, " 'Send a man at once; danger!'
"I went to the house and found Hodg
- ion dead and his widow prostrate with
' grief. An Inquest by prominent phy
“Mrs. Hodgson got most of the for*
tons loft by her husband and took a
/ tong trip abroad. Dr. Louis Huger re
p mained In New Tork and attended
p closely to bis largely Increasing prac
tice, but the affair was not altogether
forgotten. The widow came home tn a
year and the old friendship with the
doctor was renewed. It was seen re
: ported that they were to be married,
“▲bout the time that I lint heard the
report that they were to be married
Won I was sent to investigate what was
3 at first supposed to be a case of suicide
w accidental death. X woman and two
Children living In a flat on the west side
ware found dead in their rooms one
, morning with the gas turned on. There
was no gas In their lnngs. They wen
dead before it was turned on. But the
• v autopsy helped us no further. It did
not disclose the cause ot death. Many
physicians came and examined the bod
ies. All agreed that no natural cause
of death was apparent, and they could
^ - not discover the artificial cause. Hen
were three persons dead, and, while
medical science could tell that they
had. not died natural deaths, It could
" not discover the means used by the per
son responsible.
"1 finally decided to pay a visit to
Dr. Huger. The dbctor was out when
I sailed, but I told his servant that I
would wait, and was shown into the li
brary. That the doctor was a man well
read la his profession was evidsnt from
the great number and variety of medl
... wl works with which his lib
/ W>T was stocked. While .wait
t tag for his nturn, I began to
> glance at the titles of tho books. Ons
‘ at tho first that attracted my attention
\, was a work In Trench, entitled, ‘How
to Beach the Brain.* It was by Paul
' tea, an eminent authority on brain sur
gery. I picked np the volume and
“DROP IT." I COMMANDED."
glancing tkm«h It, found uajr pa
sages marked. I could read a little
French, and one of the marked passages
;I toand to he a deeerlptlon of experi
ments made In Parle by which animate
were killed by farcing air into the
brain. This wae done by dosing the
month and farcing the air into the
eyes or the nostrils by means of a email
PWnp or syringe, made ter the rupees.
T learned that there are smalll pas
sages leading to the brain from the eye
aoeketa, and from the noetrils, and that
air farced Into the brain cavity through
fheae passages would drive out the
Mood gad cause death. The work also
stated that an autopsy would in most
eases fall to reveal the causa of death.
' “I had Just begun a body examine
ties Of another French work. Patriot's
Treatise on Blow aad Secret poisons,'
whoa 1 was lafairaptod by the return
«C the doctor. I dosed the books,
thorn urhisU I had found them,
i looking eat of a window when
4
T teMr him that I was investigating
' ■/ • * .
the talk of u old miser, in which
there was a suspicion that he had been
poisoned by one of his relatives, al
though the autopsy had failed to reveal
any trace of drugs. I wanted him to
tell me if there were not several ways
of taking human life that would leave
no trace of the cause of death.
"Dr. Huger cast a quick, sharp glance
at me as if he would read the secrets
of my soul. For a full minute he
searched my face with his wonderful
black eyes, and then apparently reas
sured he answered my question. He
told me that there were several ways
of taking life, recently discovered, that
would baffle the best skill of the student
of anatomy to detect the means used.
"Whatever the man might be at
heart, for the time being he was simply
the doctor and scholar. His eyes
shone with unusual brightness, and his
face glowed as he talked of the wonder
ful discoveries of eminent French and
German surgeons, and quoted many of
the, passages I had read in his books
only a few minutes before.
"In spite of my efforts to control
my feelings, my face must have ex
pressed some of the Interest I felt in
the doctor’s revelations. As he paused
in his talk, he glanced at me, and the
same searching, suspicious look came
into his eyes again and he stopped.
"‘Have I told you all you wish to
know?’ he asked curtly.
“ 'Not quite,’ I answered, as quietly
as I could. j
"While he had been talking I had no-1
tlced lying on the table a peculiar look
ing Instrument on wblch was the stamp
of a French maker. I did not know
what it was, but suspected that it was
one of the pumps for forcing air into
the brain.
‘“What else do you wish me to tell
youT’ the doctor asked, In a tone of im
patience.
"Taking the little air pump in my
hand, I asked:
" ‘Doctor, suppose a man had a wife
and children who stood In the way of
his winning a fortune, and he wanted
to get rid of them in a way to escape
detection, would this Instrument serve
his purpose?'
" ‘What the devil do you mean?’ he
cried, springing to his feet and glaring
at me like a tiger at bay. 4v
" ‘Perhaps you know what I mean,’ I
athi wared.
"The (ace of the doctor was as white
aa a sheet by this time, but hla big,
black eyes were dancing with fury. A
number of vials partly filled with
strange-looklng liquids stood on a table
three feet away. With a half-uttered
oath on his lips, Dr. Huger reached out
and grasped one of the vials..
" 'Drop it,’ I commanded, drawing my
pistol and leveling it at hla head.
“ *1 have no wish to die with you,’ he
answered, with a sneer. ’It I dropped
the vial It might break, and the fumes
of the liquid It contains would kill us
both before we could escape from the
room.*
; "The doctor put the vial down on the
table, but I saw with his eyes he was
searching for some other means of get
ting me out of his way for good.
"Realising that I had a desperate and
dangerous man to deal with, I decided
to take no chances, and, catching the
doctor off his guard, I sprang upon him
and slipped the handcuffs on his wrists.
When he found that he was helpless he
went along quietly to the station house.
There I charged him with murder. He
smiled as 1 named the charge, but re
fused to say a word.
* "The doctor was locked in a cell while
1 went to headquarters, to make a re
port of what 1 had done. Before I had
finished my report to the chief a mes
sage was telegraphed to headquarters
that Dr. Huger was dead In his cell.
The clothing of the dead man was care
fully searched, but nothing was found
that furnished any clue to the cause of
his death. There was a careful au
topsy, but it revealed nothing. The
doctors terrible secret had died with
him. That he had killed himself there
could be no doubt, but how he had done
It was a question that the men of his
own profession could not answer.

Always But* i Gktpnw.
Readera of Ouida’s novel* may be in
tonated in knowing that on a recent
occaaion the famoua writer uttered the
following remark* when discussing
chaperons: “The question of chap
erone for girls muat depend upon the
l girl herself in each individual case.
Some glrla alwaya require a chaperon.
And such glrla are not neceiiaarily the
loud, romping ones, either. In the ma
jority of cases it is your quiet, demure
miss who needs the moat watching. In
every camp, every court, every club,
every family or social circle there la
always aome individual who acta the
part of a comedian for the others.
There la always auch a one in every co
terie of girls; but no matter how much
her exuberance of spirit may make her
at once the life, the mlaehlef and the
romp of the bedroom, she may be as
Innocent as a lamb, with no thought of
anything but harmless fun, while the
thoughts of young Mias Prim, who af
fects to be so much shocked by her
schoolfellow's merry an ties, are run
ning in a much deeper, more danger
ous channel. Girls who feel that they
are trusted will generally resolve to
be worthy of the trust reposed in them.
This is exemplified in America, where
chaperonage was comparatively un
known till comparatively a few yea^u
ago, yet social life there is certainly as
pure, if not purer, than in any coun
try in Europe, where chaperons have
been an institution for centuries."

CURED BY THE KNIFE:
Dr. ImUf Take* a Reef In a Karderotu
Elk'a Disposition.
From the Post-Dispatch: The vici
ous old elk in Forest park that gored
to death Keeper Nelson last week, will
have a kinder disposition in future.
That is what Dr. Anatole Rouif, the
veterinarian, says. After the unfortu
nate accident if was decided first to kill
the old fellow and sell his carcass to
some restaurateur, but Dr. Rouif sug
gested that he could take a reef in the
elk’s temperment by performing a sur
gical operation. So it was finally
agreed to give the forest monarch a
longer lease of life, and the operation
was successfully accomplished. Since
then the elk has been doing nicely and
giving no trouble. Dr. Rouif, Park
Commissioner Ridgely and eight as
sistants, armed with clubs, pitchforks
and rope enough to hang anyone, start
ed for the lnclosure wherein dwelt the
murderous elk. After some tedious
maneuvering the old fellow was las
soed. Then he was securely fastened
on each side and his head pulled down
to the ground. But this didn’t put him
in readiness for the operation; only
half of the work was accomplished. He
fought desperately with hid fore and
hind legs and no one would venture
within their reach. One by one the
legs were encircled by the rope and
then all four were securely fastened
together. Then the operatlou was
easy. This is the first operation of the
kind ever performed on an elk, deer or
any slmillar animal, either in Europe
or America, says Dr. Rouif. In speak
ing of the affair the doctor said: “Of
course this elk was a bad fellow, and
had killed one man before, in Chicago,
but what made him so extremely vici
ous was his constant Jealousy and his
quarrels with the other bucks. He will
now be kept by himself and can have
no chance for a fight in future.” The
doctor performed laparotomy on one of
the bull buffaloes last week. Two of
the bulls quarreled and one was badly
gored in the right side. Through the
incision made by the horns, part of
the entrails protruded. When the doc
tor went to replace them he noticed one
was badly lacerated. This was quickly
stitched up and the entrails replaced.
After that the wound in the side was
sewed and dressed and the buffalo is
now well.
IN A HOT BOX. 1
Another Time the fintltew Would Drew
the Water.
San Francisco Post: "I got into a hot
place once,” remarked ex-Sheriff Healey
of Marin county. "In fact, it was the
hottest place I ever got into in my life.
When I .was running an engine on the
Narrow Gauge road I noticed si leak at
the soft plug in the crown of my engine.
It kept getting worse, so I decided to
plug it. That night I faked the fire,
and when the fire box cooled off a little
crawled in and examined the leak. I
measured the hole carefully, and after
trying the calipers on a rat-tall file, I
had concluded that it was just the
thing. I would drive it in and break it
off. I put the end of the file inthe hole,
hit it a crack with the hammer, and in
stead of sticking it went clear through.
The next minute boiling hot water was
pouring down on me from the boiler.
The fire box was only about four feet
square and the soft plug was right in
the center over my head, so I couldn’t
get close enough into any of the corners
without getting my legs scalded. I am
pretty large, and the door of the fire
box was small, but I had to get out or
get scalded. I turned my baok to the
hot water, and by the time I wiggled out
the door I was the hottest man oh the
coast When I pulled off my clothes
I took about eight square Inches of skin
with them. Since then I draw the
water before I do any plugging.” :
A U«rn'( Breach of CnUtaf*.
A queer case la reported from Sydney,
Australia. A man was convicted by a
jury of having tried to poison his wife
with arsenic. His lawyers obtained a
reconsideration of the sentence by a
commission appointed by the legisla
ture, consisting of two doctors and a
lawyer, which pronounced him inno
cent, the doctors voting down the law
yer, who thought him guilty. The man
was set free in consequence. Subse
quently one of his lawyers, moved
by conscience, told another mem
ber of the bar that the man
had confessed his guilt to him at the
time of the trial and the matter was
brought before the legislature. Law

A CAMPAIQN TRICK.
Qcttlll the Beat of An Abualve Adver
sary la Kentucky.
The foUowing story Is told by Ed
ward McDermott In an article entitled
“Pun on the Stump,” In the Century:
A lew years ago a plain country doctor
and a Mr. May, who was fond of jew
elry, and wore a valuable diamond stud
in his shirt-bosom, were running for
the legislature in one of our counties.
The race was close and hot. At one
speaking the doctor made the following
fierce and dangerous thrust at his op
ponent: “Fellow-citizens, don’t you
want an honest man in the legislature?
Of course you do. Now what sort of
man is my opponent? Why, gentle
men, look at that magnificent diamond
he wears! It is almost as big and
bright as the head-light on a locomo
tive. Tour eyes can hardjy stand its
glare. It is worth hundreds—may be
thousands—of dollars. At what valu
ation do you suppose he has put it for
taxation in his return to the state as
sessor? Why, at the pitiful sum of
$20!” The crowd yelled for the doctor.
Three days later the two met again in
joint debate. Again the doctor took up
his telling theme, and held forth elo
quently and passionately in denunci
ation of dishonesty and diamonds and
false assessments; and then he again
told of May’B false return to the asses
sor. "Look at that gorgeous pin, gen
tlemen! My eyes can hardly endure its
dazzling rays. Solomon in all his
glory-"
“Hold on there doctor!” said May.
“Do you mean to say this pin is worth
more than $20?”
“Yes, I do — twenty times or fifty
times $20!”
“Would you give $20 for it, doctor?”
“Of course I would."
"Well, you can have it for that"
"All right!” said the doctor, and he
hurriedly counted out the money, and
took the pin. Then May rose to speak,
and the crowd cheered him. He was
undoubtedly “game” and honest. He
was willing to take what he said the
pin was worth. He was elected. A
week after the, election he qalled on the
doctor and said: “Doctor, I don’t want
to rob you of your money. Here’s
your $20. That pin you bought was
paste. I got it in Louisville after your
first speech. Here is my real diamond.
If I can ever serve you, let me know.”
ROMANCE OF_A WEDDING RING.
IrfWt for Ibijr loan and Bntored on
tbo Golden Wedding.
The fourth year of my residence at
the palace was marked by a family
event— the "golden wedding," or fif
tieth anniversary of the marriage of
the Comte and Comtesae de Tascher de
la Pagerle, which was celebrated at
Baden-Baden in the presence of all
their children and grandchildren.
A curious circumstance occurred on
this occasion which is worthy of men
tion. The (Prlncesse) Comtesse de
Tascher had lost, many years before,
her wedding ring, to her great distress,
and it had never been found. Shortly
before the festivities of the golden wed
ding, the Duchess of Hamilton, on
looking over the jewels left by her
mother, the Grand Duchess of Baden,
whose death had occurred during the
preceding winter, found a small packet
labeled, “The wedding ring of Atnelie
VOn der Leyen, sold by a Jew peddler
as having belonged to the Empress
Josephine. To be returned.” It was
evident that the grand duchess, who
was the most forgetful of women, had
put this away carefully and entirely
forgotten it. The Duchess of Hamilton,
seeing the inscription engraved Inside,
"Louis de Tascher de la Pagerle— {
Amelie von der Leyen,” with the date
of their marriage, sent it to the count
with the above explanation. He kept
the matter secret till the “golden wed
ding,” when the ring which had been
lost for so long was again placed on
the finger of .the Princess Amelie von
der Leyen on the fiftieth anniversary
of the marriage which had taken place
under the sad circumstances already re
lated.—“Life in the Tuileries Under

It Is not uncommon to bear specula*
tion on the permanence of religion. It {
would be Just as reasonable to talk to
the permanence of the Intellect or the
conscience, the permanence of the Im
agination or any other constituent ele
ment of human nature. The vocabu
lary of religion, Its forms and ceremo
nies, its symbols and organised Institu
tions, have all their perishable ele
ments; but the source of religion is in
separable from the nature of man. We
do not mean that religion is the utter
ance alone of a single faculty. Intel
lect, Imagination, conscience, emotion,!
the love of the beautiful and sublime, j
may all enter Into it; but this only
shows from what varied sources of our
nature It Is derived. As long as there
is anything in the universe to worship,
man will be a worshiper. So long as
God speaks, so long will .man answer.
It is strange,then, that religious author
ity should have been made so often to
depend upon some perishable external
Incident of religion rather than upon
the spiritual consciousness of mankind.
