Hnndredi of Tlioeo Peraonal Claim! Every Year, few of Them Are Succeiifnl and Then Only For Small Sumi. A WONDERFUL FORCE Tho city appears In tho courts at least twice a week as defendant in damage suits brought by its citizens. Timo was when tho city paid out in such damages | many thousands annually. Tho corpo ration counsel systematized tho work ot tho offico a few years ago and placed such damago suits in the care of a single | assistant. Since that time tho special | knowledge in the corporation counsel’s offico has been considerable and increas ing, so that tho offico has a minute ac-1 quuintanco with the methods of those lawyers that bring damago Buits against tho city. One result of specializing tho work of the corporation counsel's office has been a marked decrease in tho annual judg ments against the city as the outcomo of suits for damages. The whole amount of damages paid by the city in the past four years has boen less than *23,000. There have been many hundred suits brought in that time, and tho aggregate of dam ages claimed has reached *2,000,000. Only a small percentage of these suits are successful, and in few or none do the plaintiffs recover the amount clnimcd. The city fights nearly every case that is brought and seldom compromises a suit unless the justice of the plaintiff's case is of the plainest character. There are many lawyers who mako it their business to seek out persons who meet with accidents and urge them to bring suits for damages. It is believed in tho corporation counsel's office that there huB not yet developed a class of lawyers who make a specialty of such suits ngainst tho city, though such spe cialization is a tendency of the present time. When an accident of sufficient importance to get into the newspapers occurs, the victim or victims received almost immediately communications somewhat in this fashion: “We have learned of tho painful and serious accident that befell you yester day, and we write to assure you of our sympathy in your affliction and to say that we are ready to do all in our power to aid you in recovering damages from the responsible parties for tho wrong you have undoubtedly suffered." Tho sign:: tore is that of a lawyer or a firm of lawyers making a specialty of accident ca* s. Surprisingly respectable names are attached to such letters, and in many instances the victim of the ucci- dent seeks tho advice of Borne one of the lawyers that send such communications. By way of making all things sure, some lawyers have in their pay nurses and other attendants in hospitals to which persons suffering from the results of ac cidents are usually taken. In a recent case 80 or 40 agents of ac cident lawyers applied to see a patient at a hospital on the day following his mishap. Many hundreds of such suits are brought against the city every year, and perhaps half of those instituted come to trial. Tho city seldom loses on first trial, and when it does usually appeals the case. The office of the corporation counsel is extremely skeptical as to the justice of such claims, and thero is a strong suspicion that litigation of the I pay the highest prioes for Coofederate Money and Postage etuups. Address, f-ifL p. Hum Atl*»», Oft kmd is incited ny lawyers wno nopo io profit by it, and that many casei are) brought with full knowledge on the part of claimant aud counsel that tho claim is groundless. Tho counsel in many in stances discontinued the cases when claimants aro unable or unwilling to ad vance money to meet preliminary ex penses. Nearly all such cases are under taken upon contingent fees, and the share of the lawyer is commonly half of tho amount recovered. Many cases arise every winter from injuries received by persons who fall upon icy pavements. Tho Brooklyn bridge was long tho fruitful source of damage suits against the two cities, until the legislature passed last year a law making tho bridge trustees responsible for such damages. The most conspicu ous case of late years was that of Mar- gliarita Melneke, who asked $30,000 dam ages for injuries received on tho bridge. She received a verdict for the full amount, bn^on appeal this verdict was reversed. *Ono Pago received a verdict of $12,000 for injuries in an accident to a bridgo train. This was cut down to $10,000 on appeal, and the city finally paid him something less. A common ground of action is acci dents caused by inequality in the flag ging or pavements. The climate of Now York makes such inequalities unavoid able, and the city solicitor’s office confi dently expects a considerable number of such suits every year. Many other cases grow out of broken pavements and cross walks. It is not unusual for suits to be instituted by persons who slip upon ba nana peels and the like. The effort of the counsel in such cases is to prove that the pavement at the scene of the acci dent was defective. Tho corporation counsel’s office, however, usually man ages to find some one who was present at the scene of tho accident and is able to show that thero was no defect in tbe pavement. Tho office keeps a watch up on such accidents us are likely to result in damage suits, and as soon as a suit is begun tho offico sends out an agent to look up tho facts in the case aud especial ly to examine the scene of tho accident. The assistant who is to represent the corporation counsel at the trial usually visits the scene of the accident and makes himself thoroughly acquainted with the conditions then prevailing.— New York Sun.

Odylie Force—It! Relation to Meimertim, MagnetDm and Hjrpnotlim—An Intima tion of What Till! Force May Mean In Surgical Operation!. In the history of civilization frequent allusion is made to an occult and weird force, seemingly possessed by a few people of unusual temperamental devel opment, called odylie force. This forco was first systematically studied and taught as well as exhibited by Dr. MeB- mer, a Suabian, in 1778. At a later dato Baird of England topk up tho subject, and after long arid patient study made a still further advance in its application to beneficent purposes, and Dr. Carpenter of London followed up tho study of what had nlready been named as hypnotism aud made it to somo extent useful in tho cure of disease. Liko electricity, the mesmeric, mag netic, hypnotic or odylie forco is still a great mystery. Nobody knows its true origin or its essential character. They are both occult and known only by their phenomena. While eluctricity is being daily harnessed to tho car of civilization and progress and compelled to serve mankind in a multitude of ways, mag netism or mesmerism has come more slowly into tho Burvico of man. The odylie forco is vastly more subtlo and elusive than tho electric, and there fore yields a far more tardy response to the question of 6cicnco: “What art thou? Whence coniest thou?" On account of its great power for ovil as well as good many governments have forbidden its practice and promulgation, notably those of Franco and Germany. It has always been discountenanced by the church os a species of heresy and witch craft, and until about 50 years ago it was practically under ban everywhere. Since the inductive method has been adopted for finding out nature's most sacred secrets, she lias begun to whisper her occult mysteries into the souls of her most inquisitive eh! 'ven, and we come to know moro and more of her fine sor ceries. For tho most part this fino forco has been devoted to the grotesque, and through its influence men and women have been made guys and merry andrews instead of loving devotees and faithful servitors. Yet many thoughtful men see in this strange forco a subtile power for good and are betaking themselves to its study with a devotion and purposo that seems surely bound to divorce mesmerism from moukeyism and harness one moro of the fine forces of nature to tho triumphal car of science. Jugglery and jingoism fasten themselves upon two many unde veloped resources of the race and have to be shaken off sometimes with the energy that piled the pillars of the tcmplo upon tho devoted head of Samson and his per secutors. But that energy is now active ly at work clearing tho hypnotic field of the philistines that have infested it. The people of our fair capital have been given a series of exhibitions of the marvelous powers and capacities of this still too little known force. Dr. H. L. Flint of New York, an educated and conscientious physician and one of a family of great physicians, is giving nightly proferts of this mysterious force in our midst, and while to the casual ob server the’ humorous and ludicrous phases of the exhibitions are the attract ive features, yet to many thoughtful minds there is a deep and profound sig nificance in it. Chemical anesthesia is held to be the greatest discovery of all the ages, and yet here is a subtle force that does for many people not only all that chloro form can do in lulling pain and banish ing horror and fear, but does more, for it can banish disease in at least somo of its forms without putting the patient in peril. It con make its votary sing a happy roundelay while the surgeon is severing his mangled members to save life. It can convert all pain into a beau tiful dream of happiness and eliminate the inflammatory process that makes re covery problematic in so many cases. Among the odic phenomena produced by Dr. Flint is one which makes the blood run cold in all sensitive and sympathetic spectators. In his daughter, a beautiful and delicate girl of 19, he induces cata lepsy, a state which so simulates death that in India people in that condition are buried for many days and then return to active life as if they had only slept a night, and while in this condition, with every musclo in tho body rigid and hard as sole leather, she is laid across two chairs placed under her head and feet, and a large limestone rock weighing 500 pounds is laid upon her chest and abdo men, where it is broken into fragments with a heavy sledge hammer by some powerful maq who is selected by and from the audience. From a private demonstration of this phenomenon made in my own office, without any chance for collusion or de ception, and every possible opportunity I could desire to test the genuineness of the demonstration, I can only say I am more than ever profoundly impressed with the wonder and majesty of the cre ative fiat that #ave us tho odylie force. Dr. H. W. Roby in Kansas Farmer. How One Cane Wan Lost# An old New Hampshire man tells me this story of a lawyer who prevented Mr. Pierce from winning one case. The latter had fairly opened his plea and was beginning to wax eloquently pathet ic when the opposing counsel spoke up, just loud enough to be heard by the jury and the members of the bar, "Oh, Frank is beginning to pump for water again I” It is needless to say that he got no water from the jurymen’s eyes on that plea and lost the case.—Boston Globe.

Reli gious processions wont with song and dance to the Egyptian temples, and Plato said that all dancing ought to be thus an act of religion.—Popular Science Monthly. SICK AND TAKEN IN. HELPLESS HOTEL GUESTS FLEECED BY BIG DOCTORS’ FEES. Matty Hotels In the Big Metropolis and In Chicago Are In League With Conscience less Members of the Med leal Profession to Extort Money. Every largo hotel In the city nowadays has a physician resident in the building. His presence in the hotel is oue of the proofs of the completeness of the modem hostelry, so far as the provision and com fort of the guest is concerned. The idea of having a doctor within inrtant call is beyond all question an excellent onn, but it seems that it has of late been subject to grave abuso. The fact lias got qut that Rome of the hotel physicians make use of their position to levy extortionate charges for the treatment of guests who have been luckless enough to fall ill among strangers. Complaint is mode that far from being a blessing to tho guest, tho ease with which medical attendance can be secured has in such coses become a source of genuine dread to visitors to the big city who have to stop at hotels. The guests fear even a trifling illness wbilo in the hotel, because if they make the fact known that they want to see a doctor they will bo charged a fee out of all pro portion to the service rendered by tho doctor, whose chief claim to patronage is that ho is “always near at hand." Complaint has been made against the doctors’ charges in two of the best known hotels in the town to a prominent con sulting physician. "When I was taken sick at the hotel tho other night,” one of tho complainants said, “I asked the head clerk to send mo Dr. S.” “Dr. 8.1" said the clerk in seeming astonishment “I never heard of him. But we have a competent physician in the hotel whom I will send to your room.” The hotel doctor did go to the room in response to tho request of the clerk. He made several visits during the night, al though the guests didn’t want and didn't need more than one visit. A fee of $10 was charged in the bill, and the guests had to pay it. Subsequent investigation made it clear that the reason for this high fee was that tho hotel physician had made an arrangement with the ho tel proprietor by which the latter got a third of this big fee. The guests also learned that this sharing of tho fee hud been the custom at the hotel for a very long time, and that guests submitted to ft rather than have any wrnngle at the clerk's desk over charges, a thing that self respecting persons naturally dread and will avoid even where the charge is a manifest imposition. The abuse hns recently attracted the attention of the professionals, who do not practico in ho tels, and has evoked an earnest protest and a demand for reform. The Medical Record, under the head ing “Doctors and Hotels," Randles the subject in this vigorous style: “Every porson of sensitive morals, and a good many with only every day sensi bilities, would be shocked if the whole story of the relations of doctors to hotels were written. Thero is a fashionable hostelry in this town where the hotel doctor charges $7 tf visit, and thero is the best reason for believing that the hust ling landlord gets $2 of it. It is stated on good authority that in many hotels the official doctor is obliged to give up from one-fifth to one-third of his charges to the business management. People who are taken ill in hotels must have a doctor and are not disposed to question about terms. They do not find out what these are until they Bettlo the bill, and then expostulation is too late." It is only just to say that all the hotel physicians are not parties to this mean sort of swindling. Many of them are physicians of high repute who live at the hotels and pay for their board and lodg ings the same as any other guests and have a regular and legitimate schedule of charges based upon the market value of their professional services. In cases where there is a “divvy” between the doctor and the hotel the physician gets his lodgings and board at a reduced rate. Ho is appointed by the hotel proprietor, and he excuses the high fee on the plea that be has to charge more than his reg ular rate in order to make good the bonus to the proprietor. This bonus is de manded for the privilege of practicing in the hotel. “This abuse is worse in Chicago than it is in New York,” a prominent phy sician said. “The bonus system is certainly an out rage on the traveling public," said an other physician, "but at the same time the hotel doctor should not shoulder the entire blame for it. The responsibility rests with tho hotel proprietor who is mean enough to look for gain from the sickness of one of his patrous. It is not using very strong language to call this barbarism. Hotel proprietors who favor the fleecing of tho sick in their establish ments ought to be tabooed by every hon orable and self respecting man and wo man. If guests were to stay away from such hotels, tho bonus system would be quickly suppressed.”—New York Sun. No Blood Shed After All. A Jeffersonville society reporter who recently announced that a wedding had been postponed because tho bride’s trous seau hod not been finished got himself into hot water. The reporter was ap proached by the prospective groom, who was fighting mad, with tho exclamation “What did you print that lie for. It’s nobody’s business whether my wife’s trousers are done or not.” The news paper man's explanation pacifiid the angry man, who shook his hand and in sisted upon hiB presence at the marriage, which occurred a few nights later.— Louisville Courier-Journal.

The fashion of beautifying the table, which in these days is carried to such an extent, is by no means so original as many claim it to be. It is simply the revival of an old custom. We are told that in France when the great joints grew distasteful and small dislffis took their placo decorutions of the table changed too. Permanent pieces called “dormant*,” or “surtouts,” mode of crys tal and mounted in silver were placed in the middle of the table, and from them branched candelabra of gilt and Bilver, vases filled with flowers, tiny trnys cov ered with sweetmeats, or here and there statuettes. Finally tho surtout grew so large that it almost covered the table. People at last grew tired of the monotony of this ornament, no matter how artistic it might be, and instead tho center of the table was often covered with a layer of potter's clay, in which a florist would sot cut flowers in any design thnt pleased him. Artists wero often employed to decorate the table, the center of which would lio covered with temples, bridges, amphitheaters or emblematic groups of figures, all made of paste. Sometimes tho artist would represent a landscape covered with snow. M. Carada invented an artificial hoarfrost, which was melted liy the heat of the room, during which process the guestH saw the thawing of the river and the budding of the troeB and flowers ns spring succeeded winter. There wore also the "sableurs,” who, by means of beautiful ly colored sands, powdered marbles, ground glass, beads and bread crumbs, inado very ingenious figures upon tho ta ble cloths.—Harper’s Bazar. Horse! In Spectacles. Horses, it nppears, are taking kindly to spectacles. The Optician, which has made special investigations into the sub ject, gives the case of a short sighted horse whose owner ordered for him a pair of spectacles. They wero mado to fasten firmly into the head stall so that they could not be shaken out of place. At first tbe animal appeared startled by this addition to liis harness, but he soon got used to his glasses and liked them so much that when he was turned out to pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort able withont bis goggles and one Sunday hung around tho barn and whinnied so plaintively that tbe owner put the head- stall and goggles on him, and the horse was so glad that he rubbed the man’s shoulder with his nose us the only meth od of returning thanks. Dogs who suffer from short rh.-htefl- ness havo also been provided with spec tacles and have been ul>lo thereby in recognize their canine ;c qtmiitimei>!< much further off than liefore.

I spent with Lord Tennyson a long evening till nearly midnight tbe day be fore he took his oaths and his seat ns a peer. He was occupied a good doal in writing and bringing to perfection a poem of four lines, which he told me had given him as much trouble as many a substantive poem of some length. It was interesting to hear of his tentative efforts and his rejection of them, till his ear and his mind wero perfectlyaadisfied. Next day I met him in the house of lords and saw him write his name on the roll of peers. The attendance in the house was ex ceedingly scanty on that historic occa sion. I do not think that a dozen per sons were present. The poet was not in the smallest degree elated. His true eminence towered supremely above the adventitious honor, yet he could not but feel the gratification which had arisen, not from tho fulfillment of a kind of am bition which lie had never felt, but from the sense of tho secure fame involved in the Recognition by his country of the priceless services which he had rendered to her literature.—London Sunday Mag azine. A Long Horse Car Line. 14 A street car line 50 miles long is pret- ty good for length," said H. G. Fouse at tho Southern. “There is such a line in tho Argentine Republic, but it isn’t the longest in the world. The street car line between Vera Cruz and Jalapa is 03 miles in length. I have ridden on it, and the trip isn’t much worse than it used to be to go to Lowell a few years ago on what was the old Fifth street line in this city. Horses aro changed about every 10 miles. When the grade is steep, they are changed at shorter intervals. “The distance is covered in about eight hours, and the fare is 10 cents a mile. The superintendent of the line is a man named Thrailkill, who was one of Quan trell’s lieutenants during the war. These unusually long horse car lines that one finds in South America are relics of the first attempts at railroad building, the primitive road of this kind having been devised somewhere in Massachusetts, the cars running on wooden rails and being drawn by horses.”—St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

We aro accustomed to the use of paper made from sawdust. An attempt has been made to produce artificial silk from a similiar source, the pulp of wood. Rib bons of many hues have been exhibited, and the cost is Baid to be less than half that of real silk ribbons, the fabric being almost as good in appearance. But at Besancon it seems that the production of silk from wood pulp has been long ear ried on, and large works havo been built for the trade. It has never come into common use, one reason being the ex treme inflammability of tho material, as well as its want of durability.—London Leiaure Hour.
