(Special Dispatch to the New York Herald.)
Atlanta, Ga.—All doubt has been dispelled that "Hilly ’Possum”
has permanently dethroned "Teddy Hear" so far as the State of Geor
gia and adjaeent commonwealths are concerned. Already the Atlanta
visit of Preside-it-elect William H. Taft lias stimulated Southern in

opossums of the sites and variety of the “Teddy Hears" that for an
extended period have held infantile affection aul adult interest. The
“opossum grin" is now a term as widely used iu this State as the "Taft

SECRET JUST OUT ABOUT A DOCTORS’ WEIRD
FRATERNITY WITH A FANTASTIC RITUAL
Organization Never Before Heard of Has Chapters in
Many Cities and Originated in Chicago—Mem
bers Give Bodies to Science, Then to Flames.
Chicago. A strange secret of
thirty-one years' standing was re
vealed when more than a score of
prominent Chicago physicians and
surgeons admitted that they were
members of the Ustlon Fraternity, a
society having for its object the dis
section of the bodies of its members
after death and cremation of the re
mains.
This weird fraternity, to which
only members of the medical profes
sion are admitted, is of national
scope. its headquarters are in a
■well furnished clubhouse at 3232
Lake Park avenue.
Chapters exist in New York, Phila
delphia. Boston. Cleveland. Detroit,
and other cities. Its membership Is
taken from the ranks of the most
prominent practitioners in different
parts of the Cnited States.
Each chapter Is known as a verte
bra. The Chicago chapter, being the
first organized, Is called the “Prime
(Vertebra.” Its high officer is known
as the “encephalon,” and its next
highest officer is the “medulla." Its
other officers arc named for other
parts of the human body.
The members of the fraternity
must undergo a preparation or ap
prenticeship of four years before they
are admitted to full knowledge of its
weird rituals. During this period
each must study some physiological
or medical problem entirely original
In his own mind. If his faith and
ipersevernace In the ironclad rules of
the society are deemed doubtful he
does not become a partof the “body."
If the showing is complimentary the
fantastic ceremonials are adminis
tered. The society Is divided into
three '‘degrees,” through which Its
members must pass. They *re fra
ternity. autopsy and cremation.

This strange fraternity had Its in
ception at Hahnemann College, in
this city, in 1878. Duriug the thirty
one years of its existence its weird
teachings and practices have been a
profound secret, its members at the
end of their probationary period take
an oath that silences their tongues
forever.
The life on this earth is enjoyed to
its utmost by them. At the end their
colleagues, attired in long white sur
gical gowns, gather about the bier on
which lie the earthly remains of their
friend. The spirit they know) has de
parted, and the clay that is left, is
given over entirely to science. Their
theories are augmented by this grew
some gift. When they have finished
the rites are said. At a crematory all
that remains Is given over to the
flames. The doctor that was Is re
duced to a handful of dust.
Dr. Fred \V. Wood, former su
premo encephalon, acknowledged
that the fraternity was for the pur
pose of autopsy and cremation. “We
believe in three degrees,” said Dr.
Wood. “They are fraternity, which
means the real fellowship on this
earth; autopsy after death, which
helps all mankind, and cremation,
which puts an end to the earthly
shell that remains after the spirit
has flown.”
"What Is done at the autopsy?"
was asked.
“I cannot say,” replied Dr. Wood.
“Our oaths are solemn. What we do
to the body is all in the interest of
science. It dons no harm and it ad
vances our knowledge."
“What is the fraternity’s belief in
regard to cremation?” was asked.
“We believe that cremation is pro
per. The body is but clay, and soon
er or later becomes but a handful of
dust. When It Is given over to the
fire all Is ended. The translation of
‘Ustion’ means fire."
