PROF. EDWARD D. COPE A Gsnias Who Sacrificed Even Family Ties to Science. HE SLEPT AMONG LIZARDS Devotion Rewarded by Accomplishments of Great Value. lie Ma l.l.tr tkr iBasasirfalltr Ik.

It lias tn Mid that men arc fortuca; If tbey bare no history. If that tru. the late Professor Edward Drinker Cop, on of the foremen sciential of thla country, who the other day In bla museum, at Philadelphia. a particularly unfortunate man. HI.

life waa blatory. battle ararred and checkered, and be pa. away In the mldaf of the bones over which he had conducted Intellectual ttrutgUs during the larger part of bis life. The personality of Professor Cop was as many sided a was his scientific fenlus. He was a born fljrbter in the realms of Intellect.

but he sought no guerrilla warfare. He plant cd bla heavy guns In the open and fought In full view of the enemy. The large, square law with which nature had endowed him shomed this phase of his character. That Jaw made him many enemies, but at the same time many friend. Hla battles bare been mostly with the older scientists of the country and those who have recently passed away.

With the younger coie He of scientists, the new school, he was on the most peaceful terms, and was their enthusi astic champion and friend. It Is the opinion of the scientific world that Professor Cope passed away twenty years before his time and that bis death Is a great mlifortuce to selencs In this country- He bss EI'WARD oe.pE. left ucflntahed some tatka which appear es-sentlal for him to complete because of the peculiar adaptation of his genius In those licet of original research. The Herald announced a few months ago that Professor Cope as working upon bis final philosophy of human life, and that be expected to add a chapter to bis latest work, bowing the Immortality of the soul, based on palcontologlcal grounds. It was bis belief that Immortality la vouchsafed to some and not to others.

The theory aa so startling that bis scientific and speculative Inquiry this direction awakened great Interest, particularly among those who knew him. aapler ot Added. But Professor Cope was not able to add that chapter to his work. It Is doubtful whether be would ver have done so, though It was the hope of bis life to crown all bis labors wltb some hypothesis which would explain In a satisfactory ir. to his mind, at lrast.

the problem of the relation of this world to the world to rome. The method upon which he sought to prove the immortality of some souls, at least. based largely upon paleontology, to which branch of science he was most devotedly attached, and In hich be waa a great and shining light. In his mind he had carefully differentiated the types of men and had made an exhaustive study of the various stages of their civilization by means of bones. Pones were his food and drink and the joy of his life.

They were the flowers In the garden of his soul, because they appealed to blm both as a scientist and a philosopher. He was a descendant of a sturdy Pennsylvania Quaker stock, and when be started upon his scientific career he waa fortunate enough to possess a moderate degree of wealth. He Inreated rr.ort of his money In a mining speculation, and In a few years bis patrimony was swept aay. Then followed years cf adversity, and during the rest of bis life he waa frequently hampered in his researches by lack of money. But be did not lose one whit of his ardor by reason of his financial reverses.

Money was not bis god. and it waa quite usual thing for him to tit down in a 15-cent res taurant and be happy. All that he wanted waa enough fond to keep his brain working. When his fellow scientists came to Phila delphia to visit him be would take them to the cheap cafes and discuss hoofed mammals over pork and beana or Irish ttew. The married of Professor Cope has been a fertile source of discussion.

His love for bis family was proved when his end came His devoted wife and daughter were at hi bedside for days before his death, while among the boxes of bones In bis museum sat his Quaker relatives in broad-brimmed hats and bonnets, mourning the sad newt that was sure to come. Ills Married Life. Professor Cope was 57 years old at the time of his death. When be waa a young man be waa married to Miss Annie Pym. who belonged to one of the leading families of Chester Coucty.

Pennsylvania. Young Cope had studied at the University of Pennsylvania, at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, at the Smithsonian Institution, and completed his education In the universities of Europe. But to such an aspirant to scientific fame the ordinary rule and duties of married life were unsulted. It wa not long before Professor Cope for he soon became professor of goology and comparalve anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania drew aloof from all social functions, and thenceforth he knew not tociety. Hla mind waa on science, and he was his real mistress.

The family lived in a grav atone residence at the southwest corner of Twenty-First and Pine street. In Philadelphia. Next door was Professor Cope's muitum. The museum and the residence were alike in codii uct ion and appearance, when tbe young professor's fortune waa swept away, howtver. tbe residence waa abandoned, but be still kept bis It was then a struggle between science and bis love for hi family upon which Professor Cop entered.

He soon reached a decision. He felt that be owed hla life to science the mistress who controlled bla paaaioua. Hit devoted wife understood the 'situation, ai. knowing the genius of her husband so well, the cheerfully ass en te to all tbe plans be made. There have been time when tbe bua-tand and father companionship were sorly srUsed.

but for year Mrs. Cope and bcr daughter realized that lb work upon which be was engaged was of greater importance than tbe docestlc duties at borne. latereat la Hla Work. They took the deepest Interest In bla achievements. When he ran bla race with Marsh, bla treat opponent, for scientific laurels, wife daughter wrote blm encouraging le tiers and whenever tbe opportunity afforded went to bla museum to steal a.

few minutes of bla time. Tbe professor would receive them In tbe rooms filled wltb scientific specimens, ask a few questions about their health, and then hasten back to bis work. They would often tear wltb leara la their eyes, a try that they could not see I snore of tbe toss who life waa absorbed In tbe atudy of fossils and boos. Professor Cope never bad much to say upon tbe question of marriage. He bold some original Ideaa on this subject, whlcb at one time be published.

He did not believe la the permanency of tbe marriage ties for such men as be. although erurmg bis wedded life be always spent tbe summer wltb bla wife and daughter, Imrlog tbe rest of tbe year they would not see much of blm. Professor Cope often expressed Borrow that be couM not devote more time to tbe rare and education of hla daughter, to whom be was devotedly attached. Pbe waa very fond of her father, and the meeting of tbe two waa a charming picture to Mrs. Cop and the relatives and friends of the family.

Professor Cop only bad one home bis museum. His bed stood In tbe midst of boxes of specimens, skull crowned tbe bedposts, while animals In alcohol decorated the little bureau. There was not a nook or a corner In the bouse from cellar to garret which waa not filled with bones, fossils, alcoholic specimens, and scientific papers. It waa a troasure bouse, and represented tbe work of an indefatigable collector. Tbe visitor would wade through great stacks of pamphlets, get hla clothes dusty from the big boxes that choked tbe hallway, and.

finally, manage to reach tbe stairway, which would frequently be blocked with small boxes, on their way to some cranny la the building. The presiding genius of the museum had bis study In the second story rear room, the regular Philadelphia sitting-room. There was a dk. probably three by six feet. In tbe middle of the room.

Around it were plied specimen. Professor Cope and the visitor would manage to meet after an amusing struggle wltb boxes, bones, and live animals, and stand knee high in a mess of scientific papers to pats tbe ususl greetings of the day and transact the business of tbe visit. I'rfa la (he fttadr. He would be a lucky visitor. Indeed, who would not meet with some fright while be in In tbe museum.

Professor Cop had many pets, and some of them would cause terror to tbe unsuspecting stranger. Some weeks big turtles would move around the floor of the study. You would perhaps. If you the study, be apt to place your foot upon what appeared to be a stool, but your pedal extremity would flDd Its place of rest was suddenly moving away. Reptiles feasted upon hi- table, and they knew him as tbelr friend.

The visitor was always Impressed with the thought that here was a man who demon-sttated the superiority of mind over matter. He was a great Intellectual force, who brought tbe vicious and tbe repulsive under tbe power of bis will and made tbem tbe objects of valuable research. He was a naturalist of sup rb courage, aiid seemingly bad no fear of animals One of his latest pets wat a glla monster, which ha always been considered dangerous, but whii was harmless under the care of Professor Cop. Thi large yellow and black lizard loved to have Its hesd patted and would steal up to the tcientlst. who would stroke its head a minute and then resume work.

He ha written maty larre works, and the titles of bis papers number 350. Tbe range of his researches extended from the lowest vertebrates up to man and frcm tbe dawn of vertebrate life in tfce remote paleozoic runes to the culmtnstioc of evolution In the con temporary rare of man rte was rre-emmeni at a naturalist ana paieomuioKii. dely kcoa as an evolutionary philosopher and the lewder of tbe Ne school In this country.

The rule of eleven aids blm to Ihlc Inference. The leader has three better than. tbe six. and by deducting this number from eleven the result Is the number of higher cards than the Rad In the other hands. Second band having three of them and the king.

falling third hand and partner playing the seven, can place tbe balance of high cards to bla right, and know that east can possibly hold one more, whlcb would be necessarily smaller than the seven. Trick 2. Tbe position at trick 1 la not so clear to north, who deliberate between returning bla partner's tpa.de wltb tbe higher of bla two remaining ones, according to rule for aucb play, or leading tbe heart nine, an Irregular lead, signifying to bla partner no good ault, but four trump. Moat players would likely favor tbe nine lead, wbicb In this band really prove tbe better lead. Eaat having tbe ten of bearta, read tbe Irregular lead correctly and plays tbe heart two, south the Jack, and, as be holds tbe queen too, the position la alo clear to blm.

West bolda tbe trick wltb king heart. Trick S. West can afford to lead spade ace. having two command of south' suit, to find out If eaat baa no more or bad begun a tramp Tbe play of two bearta on previous trick points to tbe conclusion that be I not calling; however, bla heart holding might have bn aucb aa to require such play. North play spade two.

Trick West le still In tbe dark a to east's plant, or If be baa anything to plan for and go oil wltb the spade queen, north follow wltb tbe spade three, eaat discard club alx, and outb follow suit with apade seven. Trick 5. West, with three high trumps, feels privileged to force bis partner after having a chance to call and doe not, so be lead tbe pade nine; north, baring weakness In all suit, put up one of bla highest trump, diamond eight, to prevent eaat from taking cheaply or to bold tbe trick. Eaat discard club ten.

Many sensational sherws have been organ lied of late years In Paris, but tbe ghastly concert which took place on Saturday morn ing in the tmall hours heats tbe record. We have bad coffin cafes. Mnferno taverns, and night houses tricked cut in mockery of heav en Itself: but this Is tie first time that tbe Catacombr. of Paris, cvmimonly known as tbe Poneysrd. or tb Bonerles.

hat re echoed the funeral mutic of Beethoven and Chopin, or tbe "Pn Macabre" of 8alnt-Saent. Tbe concert, tailed "spiritual and profane." was organized by a band of the new esthetes, who are art stndents. budding dontors. lawyers, musjeians. and literary people.

Invitations were sent out to tbe press and to other quarters, so that at midnight on Friday over 100 pe-cple presented themf elves witb great se crec at the gate of the Cat aeon, ba In the Rue riarecu.

The conspirators, as the organizer of tbe chsrnel bouse co4i-crt have been Justly -ailed, led tbe way. bgvin admonished all the Invited persons to make as little noise aa possible when entering'or leaving tbe street leading to tbe city of thedead. All this mystery waa necessary, because the concert organizers had no official authoriza tion to enter tbe Catacomba. Tbev simply bribed two trsons In ctarge or tbe place, one of whom was Intrusted wltb tbe key of the men's door. This breach of trust ill.

Some of them handled the skulls like Hamlet in the gravel- yard, and indulged In mock morallzlngs over tbe dreamless heads. A few cracked Jokes on be ribs ot death, and a medical professor vol nteered a lecture on anatomy.
