A. RogerR. in tho Nrw York Herald. “Billy Possum” to Oust “Teddy Bear.” ♦—♦♦♦♦—♦ Georgians Preparing; to Put Out Little Animals. ; (Special Dispatch to the New York Herald.) Atlanta, Ga.—All doubt has been dispelled that “Billy ’Possum" has permanently dethroned "Teddy Bear” so far as the State of Geor gia and adjacent commonwealths are concerned. Already the Atlanta visit of President-elect William H. Taft has stimulated Southern in- dustry, and to-day n factory in that city began the manufacture of toy opossums of the sizes and variety of the “Teddv Bears” that for an extended period have held infantile affection and adult interest. The “opossum grin” is now a term as widely used in this State as the “Taft smile.” 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 Ustion 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 ttye medical profes sion are admitted,; is of nationfil scope. Its headquarters ate in a Veil furnished cl^bhopse 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 United States. Each chapter is known as a verte bra. Th6 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 are 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 persevernace 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 are fra ternity. autopsy and cremation. Dr. P. M. Oliver, who lives in this city, is the supreme encenhalon or national head of the Ustionians. This strange fraternity had its In ception at Hahnemann College, in this city, in 3 87s. During 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 colleague^ attired in long white sur gical gowfts, gather abqut the bier on which lie ijhe 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 W. Wood, former su preme encephalon, acknowledged that the fraternity was for the pur pose of autonsy 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 helns 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 does no harm and it ad vances our knowleSge.” “What is the fraternity’s belief in regard to cremation?” was asked. “We believe that cremation is pro per. The body is hut clay, and sbon- er or later becomes but a handful of dust. When it. is given over toi the fire all is elided. The translation of ’Ustion’ means fire.” WHERE THE BIG BASEBALL TEAMS WILL DO THEIR TRAINING.

The brains of the south have been turned to business—brains that would under better conditions, politically, dominate the United States and give it a strong, virile government of statesmen. Turned into active busi ness, the brains and ability of the south are making this country rich er year by year, in spite of Yan kee pensions and protective highway robbery, and we are going to get along regardless of the conditions and abuses of government. No Rockefel ler or Harriman has yet been de veloped to the point where he can control the cotton crop or the sea sons, and until such a one arises we are all right, regardless of whom the devilish hosts of Yankeedom may select to roll around in tho presiden tial chair.—Humboldt Courier-Chron icle.

But In the opinion of his neighbors, down in Preble County, where he makes his home on one of the most beautiful farms in Ohio, he didn’t mind the defeat at ail*compared with the time Paul Sorg, the tobacco man, outdis tanced 'him in a race for congress. It wasn’t that he wanted to go to congress so much. There were more particular reasons that made the de feat annoying. The first returns that night indicated that "Andy,” as his neighbors called him, was elected. Everybody went over to his house to celebrate. When still later re turns confirmed his election, some body suggested that they ought to start a big bonfire. As there was toothing else handy they just tore tdown Andy’s nice picket fence and used thabTor the big celebration. The loss of the fence never feazed Andy a hit—not that night. “But gosh all hemlocks!” says one of his old neigh bors, “how sore he was the next morning when the corrected returns came in showing that he was licked after all.”—New York Presd.
