The advioes show Unit about 800 persons were killed, mostly Christians. Attorncy-Qoneral Kuox has reoeived the answer of Judgo Arthur H. Noyes of Alaska to the charge, made agaiust him that bo nsed his position to his per sonal interests in the suttlemout of a nunibor of mining cases arising at Cnpo Nome. Judgo Noyes was recently gr'autod leave of absence lo 001110 to Washington, and In the meantime he bus sent on to the attoruey-geiiorn! a written nnswer to the charges thut were preferred. He denies those charges iu wholo and allege, thut rival miiiiug concerns are at Ilia bottom of them. The number of college graduates Whose nrst net after receiving their ap pointment, as teachers for the I'liillp pines was lo enter tho matrimonial stute aud forward requests for transportation for wives was appalling. The accom modations 011 board tho transports were strained by the list of teuehers uliiue. None of the brides, however, were left at bouie or compelled to cross tho l'a olllo ou other than a govern men t vessel. A fleeter Advertises For C'adavors- Dr. L. O. II. E. .ulgler, of Chicago, who advertised lor the bodies of -tuO human beings on which he could oper ate, bus found many persous who are willing to accept his grim olTur. Meu and women of all conditions of life Mime for money, soma for tho sako of science, some who uro tired of tho trials of lifu have written to the pliy siulun anil asked that ha meot them and seal the bargain. Dr. Zolgler has beeu kept busy answering telephone calls, reading lettr.-r und meeting those who tilled lu person to sue him. The doctor expresses the belief that wltliiu six mouths, the limit he has set, bo will obtain tho 400 bodies. The ilrs! letter Zolgler oieiiul was a short one and to the polut. It read: "Ueur Doo tnr I have the goods In deliver. Man ulug, 7 West iieethoveu l'lauo." An other read! "I will slgu your terms. I'. F. Kgau, 271 fcioutli Utalo street." Then came a lettur from a mnu who ex plained why his body was ou tho mar ket. It wu: "I am willing to muko Ilia deed, as I have uo Insurance. K. Oulvtu, KJI5 Wust Huron street." Dr. .elgler's search for bodies arises from bis desire to provo his contention that suigory cnu bo performed without anio.itUcsia. lie bus found, he auys, that patients while under the effect of aiiii'sthetlcs move, and cannot be photo graphed clearly.
