The newspapers are actually talking about building b >oms. The Tybee movement is beginning early this season. The hotel Keepers will not object if it continues until late in the season. Peter J. Claasse 1, who it being tried in New York for attempting to break two or three banks ia that city, is trying to make it appear that he is a lamb-like individual who got into trouble through wicked part ners. The MarquU de Leuville, it Is said, makes the statement that Mrs. Frank Leslie has consented to marry him next month. Mrs. Leslie, it is understood, does not deny the rumor. Thus the marquis’ long chase has proved to be a successful one. William B. Sorsby ought to be happy. He has been confirmed as consul at Guaya quil. In Mississippi he was known as a democrat, but the office he has received is a reward for services rendered the repub licans. He is Mr. Quay’s friend. As the time approaches for making nomi nations for state offices it is noticeable that the candidates ate becoming anxious and uneasy. They are keeping their eyes upon the farmers’ alliance. They seem to think that that organization holds their fate in its hands. The H'oWd seems very anxious for Sen ator Quay to sue it for libel. Now is the senator’s opportunity to prove that the stories set afloat aoout him are as fictitious as those with which the good Mr. Waua maker amuses his Sunday school when he addresses it. Gen. Longstreet will attend the ceremony of the unveiling of the Lee monument at Richmond, Va., May 29, as the guest of the "Washington Artillery of New Orleans. He will be given a hearty welcome, and will be one of the most conspicuous figures on that interesting occasion. At last Charles Emory Smith, our minis ter to Russia, has reaoned St. Petersburg, and has been presented to the czar. Like a schoolboy ou the way to school, he didn’t seem anxious to reach his destination. Per haps he was waiting for the snotv to dis appear before entering the czar’s domains. The senatorial associates of Edward Alvin Wolcott, the youngest member of the United Slates Senate, teased him so much about being a bachelor that he went to Buffalo, N. Y., Wednesday and married the widow Bass. She was a comely widow and is now a charming wifa The senator does not now think that there are just as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. Mr* H. A. Jacksou, the Augusta lawyer who has invented a machine for making bagging out of cotton stalks, is talking to congressmen at the Metropolitan hotel, YYashington, D.C. He seems to think that bis invention will knock the spots out of the jute Lagging trust, aud it is to be hoped that it will. If his invention is all that he claims it is fame greater than that of any con gressman will be bis. The Gag Law App i ad. Tte republican majority of the House have adopted a resolution tbit no amend ments to the tariff bill shall be offered after Wednesday noon, next, and that the dis cussion of that measure shall cease at that time. This resolution was offered by the committee on rules. Mr. Blount, who is now a member cf that committee, pointed out strongly and eloquently that the resolution was unjust and unfair to the minority, and that the republican man agers, in taking away from the ways and means committee the right which it has under the rules to control the debate on the bill, committed an outrage upon the people. Mr. Blount spoke with considera ble feeling. He must have known, how ever, that he was only wasting his time. Nothing he could have said would have caused the republican managers to change their plans It is well understood now that the repub lican caucus decided before the tariff bill was taken up just how much time sh' uld be given to its discussion. The republican managers knew very well that the bill .could not be considered as it ought to be, and as its importance demanded, in the very few days that they set apart for that purpose, and they also knew that the demo crats would not make preparation to take part in the debate if there was little or no prospect of their getting a chance to do so. They are carrying out their programme to the letter. The powerful minority which, ac cording to the popular vote at the last national election, represent the majority of the people, are prevented from discussing a measure in which every citizen is inter ested, and which is by far the most import ant one before congress. The tariff bill when it passes the House will not be the result of the best judgment of that body. It will be the result of the deliberations of the republican caucus. Some amendments may be permitted, but it is quite certain that none would be if Representative Butterworth, one of the ablest republicans in the House, had not at tacked the bill in a speech that earned consternation into the republican ranks. The republican organs are trying to coun teract the effect of that speech. They may be able to do so to some extent, but it looks now as if McKinley and his friends would agree to a reduction in the tin plate duty, and in the duty on some other articles. If the bill should pass in its present shape, or with only a few modifications, it would be known as the gag-law tariff bill. Loud Calls for Boutelle’s BUL The country is just getting aroused over the recent decision of the supreme court in the lowa case, in which it was held that intoxicating liquors could be taken into prohibition states and sold in the original packages. The decision, as soon as it was rendered, was seen to be very damaging to prohibition, but the many ways it could be made to cover evasions of prohibition laws w ere not fully understood. Fall Paver, for instance, is a prohibition city, and it is very close to the Rhode Islaud line. Rhode Islaul is not a prohib ition state. Dej ositories for intoxicating liquors have been established close to the line, and whisky, wine, beer, and other liquors are sent to Customers in Fall River in kegs or bottles, jiis; as they may wish. There is nothing to prevent the packages of intoxicants from being taken into that city. Fall River is only one of thousands of similar instances. An extraordinary trade in intoxicants in original packages has sprung up. The prohibitionists protest, of course, against the constant violation of the state laws, but their protests are not heeded. The remedy for this condition of affairs is believed to be the Buutelle bill, which amends the iuter-state commerce act so as to provide that nothing in that act shall be so construed as to authorize the sale of in toxicating liquors in any state con trary to the laws thereof. This ameudmeot is in harmony with the decision of the chief justice of the supreme court, who said iu his decision that congress had the power to put up the bars which, the court showed, were down. This bill of Boutelle’s will not meet with much opposition, probably. Indeed, in view of the strength of the prohibitionists in a great many of the states, very few members of oongress would dare to op pose it. This original package decision has ex cited an extraordinary amount of discus sion. The fact that three of the justices dissented from it has been a sort of rallying point for all of those who find fault with it. Some very able lawyers have not hesitated to express the opinion that it is not in ac cordance w ith the intent of either the con stitution or the interstate commerce law. It is pretty safe to say, however, that the decision is a sound one. The question it decides is one of those concerning which there is always a difference of opiuion. Carlisle Wins. Mr. Carlisle will fill the vacancy in the Senate caused by the death of Senator Beck. It is unnecessary to say that no better selection couid have been made. Mr. Carlisle is just in the prime of life. He will be 55 years of age next September, and he has been in public life for thirty years. He was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1859, and to the Kentucky Senate in 1866, and re-elected in 1869. In 1871 he was elected lieutenant-governor of Kentucky, and served until August, 1875. He was elected to the forty-fifth congress, and to each succeeding congress, and was speaker of the forty-eighth, forty-ninth and fiftieth congresses. Mr. Carlisle possesses ability of a very superior order. He is one of the few mem bers of the house of representatives who always commands attention when he ad dresses that body. The only fault that has been found with him as a leader is that he is not aggressive enough. When speaker he was absolutely impartial. He never permitted partisan feelings to influence his judgment or his "rulings. He will be an houor to Kont icky in the Senate, as he has boen in the House. His party will miss him in the Houss, whera his wise counsels have been of incalculable benefit to it and to the country. Col. Elliott Shepard was puffed up with the idea that the President was going to give him a first-class foreign mission. It is quite certain tbat the President never thought of doing anything of the kind. He has, however, endeavored to retain the colonel’s good will by permitting him to do the society act in tbe white house. The probability is that New York will never get a street superintendent who will give entire, satisfaction. The present one, it is asserted, spends more money than his predecessor, and yet the streets are dirtier than they ever were. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1890. Mr. Nor then’s Views. The Ishmaelite has an interview with Mr. Northern the well-known candidate for the democratic nomination for gove uor, on ! several important questions in which the people of this stato are interes ed. Mr. Nortben is not an advocate of the supremacy of c rnotations. He says that “every corporation has its guaranteed rights, and the state Is bound to protect them.” He is opposed to granting any rights to any corporation th t en croaches upon the reserved rights of th 9 people. He does .’t own stock in any corporation, and has never held an office in one. He can safely say, therefore, that thus far he has been wholly free from corporation influences. He an nounces that he is in favor of the railroad commission. About everybody appears to be, and it would be rather odd if he were not. Even the railroads are not hostile to a commission. Mr. Northon denies emphatically that he has promised to confer favors on persons who have agreed to assist him in his efforts to get the governorship. It would seem as if this denial were superfluous. It is doul tful if anybody be lieves that he purposes to reach the guber natorial chair by means of i argains. He has never shown himself to be that sort of a man. He has always appeared to be straightforward in his dealings, and it is quite safe to accept his statement that if elected governor he would enter upon tno discharge of his duties absolutely free to do, in all things, w hat he thought was for the best interest of the whole people. Powderly'a Manifesto. General Master Workman Fowderly Is not quite so influential now as be was a couple of years ago. HU labor organizai ion has fallen away from him to a very consid erable extent. Nevertheless, he still has a great deal of influence. His public utter ances indicate an intention to do what is right, and, besides, they have a basis of common sense. He has just issued a manifesto to the Knights of Labor of Pennsylvania relative to ballot reform. He doesn’t like the pres ent election law of that state, mainly because it authorizes the nnmbonng of ballots. The ballots being numbered, it is an easy matter to discover for whom a voter casts his bal lot. Asa matter of fact, the judges of elec tion do not hesitate to investigate the bailors of prominent persons and make known the tickets they voted. If the ballot is not secret it U not free, because many men would not vote openly the ticket they are willing to vote secretly. The fact that ballots are made public in timidates voters aid tendi t> koep them away from the polls, or influences them to vote contrary to their judgment. Mr. Powdorly wants the Australian ballot system adopted in Pennsylvania, and, as it will require a consti-utional convention to change the present election law, he calls for a convention of that kind. The Knights of Labor still control a very large vote in Pennsylvania, and this manifesto will cause a fluttering among the politicians. Tne pol ticiansof the Quay kind don’t want ballot reform. They are satisfied with the present law, because it offers them the opportunities they want to reach voters and influence their votes. Ballot reform, however, is steadily gain ing headway in all parts of the couutry. Several states have already adopted it and others will adiptit very soon. The Aus tralian system, or a system similar to it, seems to be what the people want. IV er Cooper Hewitt, son of ex-Mayor Hewitt, of New York, was outrageously treated by policemen on Tuesday. The cir cumstances were these; When the audi ence left the Madison square theater, where there had been a concert by the Lad.es’ Or chestra, the street was blocked by vehicles, and a cab stood in the way of some ladies* who wished to enter their carriage. Mr. Hewitt asked the cabman to back his horse. Tbe cabman refused, and Mr. Hewitt lm paiiently seized the horse by the bridle and pushed him back. Thereupon the cabman rose in his seat and lashed Mr. Hewitt over the head and shoulders with his long whip. Mr. Hewitt responded by promptly jump ing upon the box and breaking his cane over the cabman’s bead. A policeman who had been a spectator of the whole affair then stepped to the front, grabbed Mr. Hew itt by the collar and forced him to go to a police station. The cabman, who was in the vrong, refnsed to prefer a complaint, and Mr. Hewitt was informed that he was free to go. At this time the ex-mayor ap peared on the scene, and did some lively talki g. It is expected that the situation will be made rather unpleasant for the po liceman who figured in the affair. Senator Gorman thinks the pension bur ■ den will reach $300,000,000 a year before the demagogues will think it time to put the brakes on peusion legislation. There is no telling to what extent the people will bo taxed for pensions if they don’t rise up and protest against turning all the revenues of the government over to the pension sharks and the grand army veterans. A lively gubernatorial contest is -going on in Alabama. The candidates for the democratic nouiinat on are Johnston, Kolb, Jones, Crook and Richardson. The coun ties are new selecting delegates to the nom inating convention. At present K >lb is in the lead. Only about forty counties have been heard from, ho we ver. Is tbe furious fight that is going on in Brooklyn, N.> Y., over the postmastorship of that city due to the fact that Murat Hal stead has taken up his residence there? If he is not careful he will become known as a promoter of discord. It is understood that he had to leave Ohio because he got his pa. ty into trouble. Mr. Henderson, chairman of the river and harbor committee, says that he will not listen to any suggestion looking to de laying the passage of the river and harbor bill until next session. He purposes to call up tbe bill just as soon as he can get & chance to do so, and the people will uphold him iu his course. United States Minister to Brazil Adams, who it is alleged came home to capture the district represented in congress by the late Mr. Randall, will have the pleasure, if it be a pleasure, of sailing back again. He has no more chance of being elected than he has of making a reputation as a diplo mat. Senators Hoar and Plumb do not speak now as they pass by. These good senators accused each other of boorishness, and it is generally understood that they knew what, they were talking about. i t The Chicago Tribune wants to know where the fool killer is. Evidently that paper has need of him immediately. • PERSONAL. „ o* AJxn Cameron, a wealiCy Toronto lawyer, Qamei’Ward, will be marrAi in Jane to Prices Bvnffoa. ( araman of Frfcce.

Counters Tolßtoi is a busy woman, for not only does she attend to her domestic concerns, which, with a large family and inefficient Rus sian servants, demand lioth time and labor, but also to her husband's business affaire. Ds. Carl Lumholte, the archaeologist, has made ail bis arrangements to start on his expe dition to Mexico and Arizona, to explore early American antiquities about June 1. Tne expe dition is being mad-: up in Philadelphia. Emma Abb itt owes her start in life to Mme. Patti. The diva said she was so entranced with a lullaby the little stranger sang that she threw her arms about her, told uer to get ready to go to Italy and paid for ber first (year's instruc tion. r Caft. Robert Watron Fosteh, one of the oldest of American sailors, died in New York Saturday, ared 98 years. He commanded a merchantman in Up China trad: wneo only 23, and waa a prominent shipmaster for many years. Bishop Taylor of the Methodist Episcopal church, who has Just returned to this country frim Africa, makes an earnest appeal for mis sions in tne dark continent. Hr asserts that the day is not far distam. if the ebristiau church ri-e to its present opportunity, when the success of saving the unconverted millions of Africa shall be assured beyond a perad venture. Henry S. Ives, the young Napoleon of flnance, whose gigantic operations in railroad schemes has set the wise old heads of Wal street to thinVing what an unscrupulous and daring swindler could do if he tried, is again at work in an office in Temple Court. His long incarceration in Ludlow' street jail has not made him appear any older. He has still the boyisa, smooth face, surmounted by wavy dark hair, and his brown eyes still reiain their cold, shrew and expression behind his gold-rimmed spec tacles. He is in appearance an ideal student of some theological college. W. E. Dußois, the colored senior student at Harvard who won SCU at the Boylston prizes for declamation last Thursday night, has worked his way through Harvard and stands well with his college mates, as does Clement Garrett Morgan, Harvard's first colored class o ator. He was born in Great Barri gtnu, Mass., Feb. 23. 1868. In 1886 he entered the college depart ment of Fisk University, Nasuville, Tenn., and gra lua.ed with hi.h honors iu 1888. While there ue was editor of the Fisk Herald, thecol lege paper. Ho also taught sen ol in the south. After his graduation at Fisk Dußois entered the junior class at Harvard, has continued tile academic course, and will graduate in June. It is his intention to take a post-graduate course for the degree of Pn D. in social science, alter which ha expects to teach, probably in the south. Sine: his entrance at Harvard his ex amination marks harie been A, which rank be tween 90 and 100 per cant. It is thought that he w ill try for a fellowship, which means S7OO a year for study abroad.

"When Richard Vaux danced with Queen Vic toria he simply performed an act of diplomatic and international courtesy, like a true Ameri can gentleman who is neither vainly exalted nor abash din the presence of royalty. Had Mr. Vaux kissed Queen Victoria he would have beeu nouo the less a democrat, and none the less willing to take an honest citizen by the hand on that account. Carnegie as a Philanthropist.

"I don't know why it w *s." he continued, “but it was, nevertheless, a fact. Maybe it was because she was some thing of a crank. Once upon a time, I remem ber. ber leading man ieft ber without warning, anl she had to nave another at once.

Not half so warm and lovely seem As eyes that shine wilh fr.ea iship's light. Wuen turning back our wandering feet We know that sacred fire will rise. And feel each moment doubly sweet That brings us near those beaming eyes. I know where richest blossoms blow, And cloudless skies bestow their smiles; Where streams in melting music flow— Tnro’ hallowed and enchanted isles. But I can see each fairest flower In Cloudless eyes and feel the spell Of tones whose lightest sound has power To match Apollo’s winding shell. I would not tread where angels lead, If friends I love were left behind. With tears to weep and hearts to bleed, Tho’ paradise my steps should find. Its beings may be fairer far. Its streets of gold and jasper be; But leave me where ray loved ones are. That will be paradise to me. E. J. D. Charge It. Just as last Saturday night was merging into Sunday morning, says Texas Sift.ngs , three persons, two evidently from the couutry, the third a city man, walked down the marble stair case of the Auditorium hotel, and approached Will Schafer, the night clerk. "How much is the bill for oursupper?” asked the city man. ‘Twenty dollars,” replied Schafer, and then poured out a glass of water for one of tae countrymen whom the price had made dizzy. “All right,” said the city man, airily, ' just charge it to ray account,” and taking an arm of each of his country companions he led them out. "Old customer of yours?” queried a by stander. "No,” said Schafer. “I never saw or heard of him before to night.'• "Well, is that the way you give credit?” “That’s anew way. Tne truth i<, he wanted to make an impression on his two country friends, and give them the idea that he stands in well with everybody. Just before they fin ished supper he came down to m • and paid th • bill, w.dch was only $lO, and said that when he came down with the countrymen he would ask me bow much he owed. I ‘was to reply S2O, and be, with a grandiloquent air, was to instruct me to charge it to his account, tnereby creating his desired impression. See?” A Psychological Interview. “Don’t, say a word," exclaims Bilkin*, impres sively, as a gaunt, unshaven man entered his office, says America. "Don’t speak; don’t utter a syiable. I have acquired tne gift of mind reading. A mysterious sympathy is established between us. I read your purpose. You have come here to collect Kent & Blunt’s little ac count. Is it not so?” •’lt is. You are quite right,” replied the gaunt, unshaven one. “I, too, have been a mind reader in my time. The power is on me now. I know your thoughts. I can tell what the speech will be that you are framing even now. You are going to say, ‘I am very sorry, but you will have to call again.’ Am 1 not right?" "Marvelous,” ejaculated Bilkius. “I can go further,” pursued the prophet, in a hoarse whisper. "You will tell me to cote in about the middle of Dext week.” "Miraculous,” cried Bilkins. “Now it is my turn. I can see into your very soul. You will answer, ‘I have been coming here lor the past two years every week, and it’s niga time you settled up.’” "You astonish me.” "Yea, more—you will threaten to bring suit against me." "Just what I was going to say. But I can carry my spiritual communion furtner. You will say ’sue aud be—blanked.’ ” "My dear sir, you are inspired. You ought to he a wealthy propoet." "Then, continued the gaunt, unshaven party, “after I give you a little back tali you will waft me gently into the street.” “There is no use fighting against destiny," responded Bilkins; and a few moments later, as tbe gaunt, unshaven mind reader collected his remains from the sidewalk, he was over heard to remark that the next time he mot a psycologist he would pass by on the other side. A Colored Philosopher. Out about four miles from Natchez, says a Detroit Free Press man, I came across a colored man who had headed for town with a jag of wood on a one mule wagon. At a narrow spot in the road, where the mud was a foot deep, his oid mule had given out and the wagon was stalled. The man sat on a log by the roadside, smoking a corn cob Dipe and en joying a sun bath, and after viewing the situation I asked: "Well, wbat are you going to do?” “Nuffln, boss,” be answered. “Going to leave tbe rig right there until it sinks out of sight?” "Oh, she’s done gone down about as fur as she kin.” "And you are in no hurry?" “No. sah. I’ze got all dis week to get to town." "Well, you take things pretty cool, I must say.” "Sav, boss, jist sot down heab half an hour an’ see de fllosophy of de thing," he answered. “I’m working a common sense plan on dis diffi culty.” I got down and took a seat, and it wasn't ten minutes before a cottoa team, with four darkeys perched on the bales, came up from the rear. ”Yo’. dar—what's de rumpus?” demanded the driver as be checked his mules. "Dun got stuck fast.” "O—ho! Como along, boys, an’git dat ole mewl outer bis trouble.” They all got down.eachtook awheel, aDd with a “heave-o” the vagou was lifted out of the mud and was ready to go on. "Sea de pint?" queried tbe owner of the rig, who hadn’t lifted a pound himself. “I do.” "Dat's what ails de black man to-day-han’t got no fllosophy. He-haw, now. Julius—git right up’n bead yure ole backbone! So long, white man—see yo’ later!” A Stone From His Brother’s Shirt Front. He entered a Broadway car at Canal street, and, as every seat was taken, says the New York Sun, he stood up and hung to a strap. On his left hand, which hung by his side, was a large ring, and everybody at once noticed that the stone was gone. The ring seemed to be valuable enough for the stone to have been a diamond, and presently a man leaned forward and said: ."Excuse me, sir, but you have met with a loss. The stone is gone from your ring.” "Wnat! So it is!” exclaimed the man, as he lifted his hand. He dropped his eyes to the floor, and in five seconds every other eye in the car followed suit. Heads were bent down, words of condolence b gan to be utter and, and two or three men got down on their hands aud Knees and looked under the seats. After five minutes' search, one of them finally asked: "When did you miss it?” “Just now.” “Think you lost it in the car?” “Dunno.” "Was it very valuable?” “Well, I prized it highly as a keepsake.” Another hunt was made, but with no better success. Then the owner of the rmg began to feel in his pockets, and presently he toog out a shirt button, with a bit of wire to it, which somehow fitted into the ring, and after placing it he held up the ring and said: "Thanks for your interest, good people. 'Tis a button from the shirt of my brotuer George.” He stepped oil the car with a bow and a smile, and nothing was said for a couple of minutes. Then a man with a deep bass voice called out: "And who in is his brother George, I’d like to know !** But no one could say. All were busy in won dering how they had let a smart Aleck make fools of them. J. F.

The winnings of Melchior Farkas, the lottery swindler, who was arreste i some time ago in Temesvas, amount, all told, to 655,000 gulden. During the quarte of a century in which he carried on his nefarious practice ne paid 103,000 gulden for tickets and “enances.” The climate of China is said to be growing not only colder, but drier. Animals and plants accustomed to hot, moist regions are gradually retreadng southward. Two thousand years ago the oamboo ft mnsbed in the forest of north China, but it can no longer be found there. Lake Chelan, Wash., never freezes, although in latitude 48° north. The reasou given is that it is so deep, and the warm water al ways rises from the bottom to supplant the cold, which goes down to warm itse.f. The Indians fish in the lake at a.l seasons, and use salmon eggs for bait. The huntsmen of Southern Oregon are en gaged in the wanton slaughter of deer. It is said that in the vicinity of Kerbyville, Josephine county, the skinned carcasses of deer are some times so thick in the county roads that teams are compelled to stop while the driver pulls them aside. Nadja, daughter of the Russ an painter, Mo roscow, is soon to be married, and will wear one of the most marvelous bridal dresses ever seen. Her father s friends and fellow-artists have each painted an al egorital composition on the dress, whic:i, w hen the beautiful owner is in side if it, will be a perfect walking art gallery. Harvard University is to have a beautiful and exclusive pj -session iu a very valuable col lection of glass flowers made by a secret process by a Dresden firm named Blatcka. Three or four hundred specimens have oeen already received. The co leecion, when complete, will illustrate all the families of plants in North America. Modern chemistry shows that the medical lore of the a 1 mienl. herbalists had a much sounder basis than had been imagined. In 1597 water cresso3 were recommended for the cure of scurvy and scrofula. Chemists now say that the cress contai us sulphur, phosphorus, iodine and iron—sub tanaes that are known to le actual antid ites to scrofula. Anew method of ventilating railway car riages and preventing dust from entering with the air has lately appeared in France. The more quickly the train moves the more rapidly the apparatus works. The air is ma le to trav erse a receptacle containing water, which cools it and relieves it of dust, after which it goes through another filtering before entering the carriage. Thz possible annexation of Lower Califor nia is still taken very seriously by the people of the southern section of California. The press dema .d-- it, the politicking see in it a great fu ture. Tbe peninsula at present has only 80,000 population, a L rge proportion of which is In dian. There are also a great many Englishmen aud n iners there. Tbe Mexicans are clearly in the minority.

The oldest man in the British navy is now in his 100th year. Sir Provo William Parry Wallis, G. G 8., the senior admiral of the fleet, is tbe only survivor of the famous naval combat be tween her majesty’s ship Shannon and the American frigate Chesapeake off Dost n har bor on June 1. 1813. He was the actual captor of the Chesapeake, the first lieutenant of the Shannon having been killed au the captain dangerously wounded, so that the American captain surrendered to Wallis, as the senior offic-r in command. The aged and gallant admiral was born at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, on April 12, 1761. and was actually entered on the books of tbe navy on May 1, 1745, on board the LOiseau at Halifax, where bis father was o lief c erk in the naval yard. Thus he has really been in the naval service for tile space of nearly ninety-five years. Some remarkable achievements in surgery are reported from Berlin. At tbe surgical con gress, Prof. Gluck demonstrated the successful substitution of catgut, ivory and bone freed from chalk, for defects in bones, muscles, and nervous sinews. Tne juices of the body are sucked up iu the inserted material, thereby establishing tbe junction of the separated ends, without any shortening of the part. He pre sented the cases of patients in whom there nad been an insertion of from six to teu centimeters or catgut to supply defects in the leade.s of the hands, to nhicu complete mobility bail been restored. In the case of another pationt Prof. Gluck r. moved a tumor from tbe thigh,causing a Considerable defect in the bone. He inserted ivory, and no shortening ensued. In another case he removed a large piece of nerve in the groin and inserted catgut, and the functions remained completely satisfactory. Assistant District Attorney Macdona of New York, who is a survivor of one of the Jeannette search exped tions, has accepted the invitation of the American Yacht Club to de liver an address at Kye early in June. In com mon with every one familiar with the far north Mi-. Macdona is quite convinced that the coming summer will be big with surprises for naviga tors in the Arctic, for the reason that the mild winter bus freed great continents of tast ice that have for generations prevented the north ward passage of explorers. Yiever. since com munication was established between America and Europe, has ice btseu encountered on the Atlantic in such low latitudes, and the quanti ties have been sc great as t j make impractica ble previously established steam lain-s in the northern “forties.” The tact that many of the captains reporting ice have noticed that it con tained great quantities of clay and rock Mr. Macdona regards as convincing evidence that it is wi at is cailel "shore ice,” and that land heretofore unapproachable can now be reached. The object of the club in inviting Mr. Macduna is to revive public interest in the subject of Arctic exploratiqn at a propitious time. The Texas cow boys take Simmons Liver Regulator when bilious J.
