STRUCK DEAD OK PARADE
LIGHTNING KILLS SOLDIERS IN THS
KAISER’S PRESENCE.
A Tragic Incident at a Review at
Templehoff—Two of the Stricken
Grenadiers Dead When Picked Up
by Their Affrighted Comrades-The
Captain of the Company and Another
Soldier Badly Injured.
Berlin, Jane 9. —Military and other cir
cles here and elsewhere are discussing a
strange and fatal accident which ooourred at
Templehoff at 9 o’clock this morning in the
presence of the emperor. From dispatches
received here it seems that a party of grena
diers were being exercised by the emperor
at the morning drill on the parade ground.
While the men were being put through their
exercise a vivid flash of lightning, followed
bv a deafening thunder clap, startled and
half blinded the men on parade, and hurled
a number to the ground. When the men
who had been struck by the electric fluid
had sufficiently recovered their pres
ence of mind they went to
the assistance of their stric >en comrades, and
it was found that the officer in command,
Cap. Vouquase, and three soldiers were in
sensible. Two of the latter died almost im
mediately afterward, and Cap. Vonquase
and the other soldier who was struck were
dangerously injured. A hor.-e was also
killed. It is supposed that the rifle barrels
and bayonets of the soldiers attrncksd the
electricity which caused suoh fatal results.

HMPEBOK FREDERICKS LETTER.
An Interesting Bletorloel Epistle
Given to the Public.
Berlin, June 9.—A sensation has been
caused by tbe publication in the “Life of
Duncber” of a letter from the late Emperor
Frederick to Herr Duncher, his political
adviser, dated June 14, 1863, at which time
the conflict between tbe king and Prussian
parliament was at ite bight, and about a
week after Emperor Frederick's famous
speech at Dantzic, in which he publicly re
fused to be identified with the then recent
acte of the ministry. Tne letter repudiates
the suggestion that his action was the out
come of a secret alliance with the progress
ist party. Emperor Frederick says he doee
not fear the publication of the correspond
ence with his father, whioh the progressists
threaten, because he alone had possession of
the letters, unlees, and this would cot sur
prise him, the system of Blsmarckian
espionage bad secured copies. He declares
his poweriessness to prevent any party
claiming him. He has no desire to be the
opposition leader, and he has no community
with the Waldec* party, but he has strong
sympathy with the Freissinige party. The
correspondence was published in tbe London
Times in the month of July following the
date of the leftar.
ENGLAND’S EDUCATION BILL.
The Comments of the London Press
on the Measure.
London, June 9. —The Times this morn
ing approves the “simplicity” of the
goverument’s education bill, saying that it
“goes far to satisfy the managers of volun
tary schools."
The Standard seems to think that the
conservative objection to the bill will not
be of a serious nature, but is of the opinion
that the radicals are likely to turn the meas
ure to “that faction’s purposes.”
The Daily Sews oalls the bill a 1 ‘half
measure” and “miserable make-shift which
the liberals will accept a* such with de
termination to improve it now if they can,
or to extend it hereafter.”
The Daily Telegraph warns the govern
ment that it is hopeless to pass the bill this
session, and says that it is better to drop it
and to devote the money to a reduction of
the national debt.
HaYTI’S REVOLT.
Hippolyte’a Minister to This Country
Gives His Version.
New York, June 9. —The Haytian min
ister, Hannibal Price, speaking of tbe late
revolt at Port-au-Prince, said to-day that
the trouble on May 28, which caused so
much bloodshed, was not a revolu
tion against the government of
President Hippolyte, but a riot
instigated by a few sore heads who
sought personal gain. The political leaders
of the party opposed to President Hippo
lyte, he said, were in Jamaica, and were not
implicated in tbe affair of May 28. The
riot was arranged by a few persons who
formerly held petty positions in the former
government, aud hoped to rise to places of
prominence by an outbreak.
QUAD’S PATENT ToWEL-RACK.
He Discovers That He Has a Good
Thing.
From the New York World.
“Now you move on or I’ll run you in!” I
heard a policeman say as I was passing
through Clinton place the other evening.
“What hurt am I doin’ here? This woman
has heard of my celebrated seek-no-f urther
kitchen roller towel-rack, and I’m tellin’
her all about It. It’s gosh durned funny If
there's any law in New York agin a man
talkin’ on the streets!”
It was my friend from Huckleberry
Plains, and as I advanced the policeman
sauntered off with a growl.
“By George! but I’m glad to see you!”
exclaimed Noah David Hammerhill, as he
held out his hand, “Jest come withiu
’leven inches of bein’ arrested and lugged
off to state prison for talkin’ up my towel
rack!
“Got a good thing, and the police are jeal
ous of me, but I’ll see ’em in Jenco be
fore I'll give ’em a raok to be good friends.
Jest a minute. Lemma explain to this
woman.”
She was a little old woman with a basket
on her arm, and evidently in very poor cir
cumstances, but be proceeded to say:
“You observe, madam, that when I pull
on the towel the roller revolves thirteen
times. It’s tbe biggest revolver in this
country to-day. How many people do you
suppose con wipe on this towel ana still
leave a dry spot?”
“I’m very poor, sir,” she pleaded.
4 ‘Exactly, and that’s why I put the price
of this rack so low as to be within the
reach of all. Bile writes me that Dan
Hitoboock, who is the most worthless cuss
in tbe United States, and who was never
known to have over 4 oenta and a chaw of
tobaoker on the Fourth of July or ’leckshun
day, has actually scraped eaough money
together to buy one of these towol-racks,
and he’s so proud of It that he makes bis
nine children wash their faces twice a
week.”
'Tve been sink, sir, and unable to work,”
said tbe woman.
“Don't doubt it, ma’am, and that's an
other point in favor of tbe towel rack.
While siok you wanted the kitchen towel to
pin around your head. You went to look
for it, but did you find it? Was it on the
floor, under the bed, or on the top shelf in
the pantry? I Agger that this towel rack
will save the people of this country over
1,000 barrels of misery every year. There
was the case of Bill Bebee, who runs the
cooperahop in our town. Went home siok
and his wife wanted to wash his feet afore
company oame in. Looked over three hours
for the kitchen towel and couldn't find it,
and finally used a tablecloth, aud the dye
come out aad struck in on him and killed
him.”
"Please help me, sir,” she said in coaxing
tones.
"And another thing, ma'am,” he wont on,
as if not hearing her; “look at this improve
ment—improved out of my own head and by
my own bauds sinoe coming to New York
—this pocket for the fine comb! Youknow
how it is around the house, whether rich
or poor. The fine comb can never be
found when wanted. It’s alius under
the bureau, behind the lounge, up
stairs or down cellar, aud the hull
fam’ly gits mad and has a row before it’s
found. Why, one day last summer I met
Elder Hartuess, of our town, way down by
the schoolhouse, three miles from home,
hunting for the comb, and he said his wifo
was just as far op the road the other way !
With this improvement the comb is alius on
the spot. If you want her at sunrise, noon
day or midnight she’s thar. This does not
add to the original cost, however, but is
throwed in to boot. Hold on a minit!”
She was going away, but halted and
turned, aud he went on:
“Do you know that roller toweling is
17 cents a yard, and that this rack saves a
quarter of a yard on every yard? Sile
writes me that Squar’ Daniels, the man
who gave our town five acres of land for a
graveyard, is advisin’ everybody to buy
this rack and get rioh by savin’ them four
cents. It takes two tenpenny nails or a
sidewalk spike to fasten un all other racks.
This one is held so tight by cne ten pen ay
that every young un in the house kin fall
agin it when youbox his ears and the
can’t even wriggle.”
“If you would please”
“Certainly, ma’am, but I want you to be
satisfied bef >re you buy. See this hayseed
on mv hat and collarl Sile sent me anew
3ly yesterday. I don’t go around pur
in’ to be an alderman or governor, but
own right up that I’m just off tbe grass and
easy to sweat. If I was mean 'uuff to lie I
could sell millyons of theee racks, but I’ll
stick to the troth if it busts me. I warrant
every one, and if there is anything wrong
the money is refunded. Just work that
roller! Travels like a rabbit’s foot, and
there isn’t noise 'nuff to wake a baby.”
“Could you help a poor woman, sir!'’ she
exclaimed as he paused for breath.
And os I slid away in tbe darkness he was
replying:
“Don’t let ’em deceive you. ma’am—take
no other—thirteen revolutions—saves a
quarter of a yard—fine comb can’t get
away—and the prioe is only 25 oenta.”
DOG’S NERVE GRAFTED
On the Nerve of a Woman’B Arm Af
flicted With Paralysis.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Philadelphia, June 61'—For the past
two years Mrs. J. H. Weber has been suf
fering paralysis in tbe right arm, which
rendered that member praotically useless.
To-day she Is living in her suburban home
□ear this city, and in her right arm, mid
way between tbe shoulder and elbow, is
implanted a nerve of a dog. It is hoped that
Mrs. Weber will recover the entire use of
her arm, waist, hand and Angers.
This remarkable operation is possibly tbe
first on reoord in this country, and was per
formed by Dr. D. Hays Agnew and Dr. J.
William Wbite, assisted by Dr. Edward
Martin, Dr. W. R. Hunter, Dr. Stricxler
and Dr. Strayer. the last three being resi
dent physicians in the University of Penn
sylvania hospital, the history of this most
unusual case is as follows :
HISTORY OF THE CASE.
In 1880 Mrs. Weber dlsoovered a small
tumor near the middle of tier right upper
arm. This, however, was not paiufal for
several years, but became so in 1884, at that
time being tender to the touch. On Marcn
5.1889, Mrs. Weber was at San Antonio,
Tex. Dr. Fred Herff, an army surgeon sta
tioned there, removed the tumor, which
proved to be a multiple neuroma of the
nerve of the arm.
Dr. Herff found it necessary to remove
about three snohes of tbe nerve, thus caus
ing “wrist-drop,” which prevented Mrs.
Weber from extending her baud, although
the fingers could be moved to a slight de
gree. From that time she had no use of her
arm at all, although it could be raised from
tbe shoulder. She says tbe whole arm was
affected by atmospheric changes after Dr.
Herff’s operation. During the winter just
passed Mrs. Weber consulted Dr. Agnew
and Dr. White as to again getting the use
of her arm and hand. They advised her to
go to the University of Pennsylvania Hos
pital for an operation whioh might benefit
her.
DECIDED ON THE OPERATION.
She went there about the middle of
March. and it was proposed to transplant
several inches of human nerve into her arm,
joining this piece to the end of her own
nerve which had been so widely separated
under Dr. Herff’s knife. The surgeons ex
pected to take the nerve from a human arm
or leg, which had been amputated, and
transplant it into Mrs. Weber’s arm. The
patient consented to this, and spent the next
five weeks in the University Hospital under
careful treatment, but no case was received
at that institution requiring amputation.
On April 18, on tne suggestion of Dr.
Agnew and Dr. White, Mrs. Weber con
sented to have transplanted into her arm
the nerve from a living dog. The doctors
told her that if the dog’s nerve were used,
it would not, of course, transmit sensations,
but it would act merely as a bridge between
the separated ends of her own nerve.
It was hoped that the latter would throw
out filaments from each end, whioh would
gradually grow along the bridge and join
together in the middle of It. So Mrs. Weber
conseuted, but only with the assurance that
the dog selected would undergo no pain.
UTILIZING A DOG’S NERVE.
Then a healthy collie was found. It was
placed upon a diet for two weeks, and was
carefully watched, so that the surgeons
could be sure it wns in a perfectly healthy
condition. He was a very blight, lively
young dog, and he did not objeot at all to
being treated like a prince among canines.
But then he. poor chap, didn’t know why
all these attentions were paid him.
The operation took place on April 38.
Mrs. Weber’s arm was prepared by anti
septic treatment, being scrubbed with sjap
and water aud alcohol and bichloride of
mercury. Then she was etherized and was
taken to tbe private operating room of the
hospital.
In tho meantime, the dog, freshly bathed,
was also placed under tho influence of
ether, but in another room, and all the hair
was shaved from his right hip. He was
taken into the operating room, where were
assembled Dr. Agnew, Dr. White, Dr.
Martin, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Striokler and Dr.
Strayer, together with several nurses of the
hospital staff. Dr. Agnew cut into tbe
patient's arm a wound four inches long and
to the depth of the nerve, the dissection be
ing made with the utmost care.
JOINING THE TWO NERVES.
After some difficulty the two ends of the
divided nerve were fonrid in a healthy con
dition, but about three inches apart. At
this time Dr. Martin, within one minute,
exposed and removed three inches of the
sciatic nerve from the dog’s hip, and quick
ly taking up the living nerve in a forceps,
he handed it to Dr. Agnew and Dr. White.
They placed it in a sheath of discaloined
chicken bone and put both between the ends
of the divided nerve, stitching them se
curely. The wound wav then closed, a
drainage tube being loft in. The uncon
scious dog at onoe killed. Tbe wound
united without any suppuration, Mrs.
Weber got along nicely and on May 21 left
the hospital.
No visible change had taken place in the
motion of the band at that time, because it
was much too soon. Several months may
elapse before the nerve has time to recover
itself, and at least as long a period will be
needed before the musciei, in disuse for
over two years, will regain their normal
oondition. Tbe sheath of chicken bone, in
which the dog’s nerve was placed for pro
tection, will be absorbed.
TWO WOMEN WHIP THREE BEARS.
They Were Not Robust Brutes, but
They Were Bears.
From the Bangor Sews.
Trescott, May 25.—The Parkersons and
Ackleys pasture their cows in the same lot.
Saturday night these cows did not come up
to the bars as usual, and after waiting a
reasonable time Mrs. Thomas Parkerson
Bnd Mrs. Elbridge Ackley started out to
find them. It was almost suudown when
the women began their quest. They
pushed on, however, and, having climbed
the hill, had entered a belt of old growth
woods on the edge of the swamp, when Mrs.
Parkerson caught Mrs. Ackley by the arm,
crying:
"O, my! look!” pointing to the right.
Mrs. Ackley followed her advice and did
look.
What she saw would make an ordinary
woman faint away, but downcast women
are made of sterner stuff, so when she saw
three beam, an old female aud two cubs,
she said “O, my!’’ too, and both women
went to a pile of cordwnod close bv and pro
cured two stout round birch sticks about
four feet long.
The subsequent battle was short but very
exciting. The old bear was lean and weak.
She made a deal of noise, but when it came
to fighting she “wasn’t in it.” Two times
she moved up and showed fight, but failing
to break through the waving wall of clubs

U EPICAL.
Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
causing distress after eating, sour stomach,
sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite,
a faint, “ all gone” feeling, bad taste, coated
_ . tongue, and irregularity of
DiStrCSS the bowels. Dyspepsia does
After not get well of itself. It
- requires careful attention,
taring an( j a remedy like Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, which acts gently, yet efficiently.
It tones the stomach, regulates the diges
tion, creates a good ap- CJoIr
petite, banishes headache, ,j * .
and refreshes the mind. HOadaCnO
“ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had but little appetite, and what I did eat
distressed me, or did mo
little good. After eating I
PU m would have a faint or tired,
all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten
anything. My trouble was aggravated by
my business, painting. Last
spring I took Hood’s Sar
saparilla, which did me an Stomach
immense amount of good. It gave me an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
the craving I had previously experienced.”
