HE WAS A FAMOUS MATHEMATICIAN AND ASTRONOMER. Prepared an Altmanac When Only Nine Year Old and Showed Great Powers of Calculation. NEW YORK. June 11. Prof. Truman Henry Safford, the mathematician and astronomer, whose death has just been announced, will be buried in the college burying ground at Williamtown, Mass. Since he first suffered an attack of paralysis, in 1894, Professor Safford has been conducting several elective courses at Williams College. A widow, four sons and a daughter survive him. He was born a Royalton, Vt., sixtyfive years ago. At an early age he attracted attention by his powers of calculation. He could mentally extract the square 'and cubo root of numbers of nine and ten places of figures and could multiply four figures as rapidly as it could be done upon paper. In 1SI5, wnen he was nine years old, and nine years before he was graduated from Harvard College, he prepared an almanac, and at the age of fourteen he calculated the ecliptic elements of the first comet of 1S43. By a method of his own he abridged by one-fourth the labor of calculating the rising and setting of the moon. After long and difficult problems had been read to him once he could give their reBults without effort. Prof. Benjamin Pierce said of him, in 1S1, that his knowledge "is accompanied with powers of abstraction and concentration rarely possessed at any age, except by minds of the highest order." He spent several years at the Harvard Observatory, and between 1SV) and 1m,2 he computed th orbits of many planets and comets. In WZi he was appointed professor of astronomy in the University f Chicago and director of the Dearu, r- Observatory. From 1D to 1S71 he was cngagid upon the great catalogue of stars then in course of preparation by the co-operation of European and American astronomers. Interrupted in this work by the Chicago tire of 1S71. he was employed in latitude and longitude work in the Territories by the United States corps of engineers. lie was called to the chair of astronomy at Williams College In 1S7S.

CIJiCAGO, June 11.-" Wo must distinguish between tho nude and the undressed in art," said Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of Frlnceton, to-diy, in his commencement address to the graduating class of the Art Institute. "To the undressed a decent public will bring no toleration." he added. "But in general we may say that the wrong In art Is only for the evil mind. When Michael Angelo painted his 'Last Judgment an ecclesiastic ordered that clothes be put on the nude figures. This was done, to the sham-, not of Michael Angelo, but of the ecclesiastic who could not endure the nude in art. Indeed, when we speak ot the nudity and crudity in art, I must confess that I have been shocked not ro much by the latter as by the language of protest used against it in the Boston Museum' The subject of Dr. Van Dyke's address was "The Moral Law in Art." The speaker sttove to show that tho sphere of art operates properly within the wider sphere of the moral law. Not art for art's sake, he contended, but art for art's sake and man s sake should be the watchword. Wnlle deprecating the value of literature and art which sought consciously to adorn some moral lesson, such as the old-time story books. Dr. Van Dyke pleaded for that sort cf artistic production which is the rcsuit of genuine and moral emotion. Dr. Van Dyke is the lirst man ever invited to the institute from outside of the. city to deliver the commencement address. TO TA K K STRIKERS' PLACES. U. of M.

Queer Case In Clinton, AVhlcU Is Sought to De Unraveled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CLINTON, Ind., June 14. The Cllntonian to-day publishes the outlines of what appears likely to develop Into a big insurance sensation. A widow of this city remarried about two years ago. She has had her husband insured for many thousand dollars in several of the best companies In the country. Suspicion was first excited by a comparison of notes between some of the agents, who learned of the enormous amount of insurance being carried. The mystery deepened when it was learned that the man and woman do not live together, and none of the insurance men have ever teen ab!e to see him, except wnen he was being Insured. The woman's neighbors did not know of her marriage until a year after it occurred, and learned of it then by hearing of the insurance. Detectives for some of the insurance companies have been making diligent investigations for the past few weeks, but none has been able to locate the much-insured husband. The Massachusetts Mutual managed to effect a compromise, but the woman positively refuses to release any others. Detectives for the Northwestern, of Milwaukee, were In Clinton this week, but failed to locate the man. There appears to be no direct evidence of fraud, but the whole affair is a mystery which the insurance men are anxious to unravel. Field Sports nt Spicelnnd. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
