With her cheeks of roses and her brow of snow. But where in thunder is she now, I wonder* O, my soul, be quiet: and, my sad heart, hush! Under the umbrella of some other feller Methlnka 1 see her paddling through the slush. Out in Kansas a oountry merchant at Fort Scott set a spring guu which killed a thief whom the merchant complains is un known. Thieves do not usually introduce themselves nor oarry satisfaotory creden tials. They rarely have time to use them. Fossibly they don’t think such an outfit necessary. So that the Kansas man’s ■pring gun works all right and kills thieves without identifying them he needn’t worry about ascertaining any personal history of his cadavers. With the apparent mania of the present administration people f&r advertising the business enterprises of their relatives end friends it is a very fortunate thing for the oredit of the coun try that they have no relatives en gaged in the burying business. Else we might expect to see a number of spectacu lar funerals advertised with some member of the Harrison family doing the role of “leading support” before this administra tion finally comes to an end. Few men in the king business are half so humane os well as thoughtfully practical and progressive as King Leopold of Bel gium. Lately he has been investing quite extensively in northwestern timber lands and he is said to contemplate further invest ments on a very extensive scale. Possibly he is thinking of acquiring a whole state in fee with the idea of starting a branoh king dom on this side of the stream. In that case he would do well to locate in Canada. They want a sovereign badly over there. Here we are all sovereigns. Adherents of Frenzy Foraker are said to be literally howling with indignation at the thoughtlessness of Sherman in not standing aside with prompt deference to make room for the Foraker senatorial boom to pass. Standing directly in front of them and ef fectually blocking their progress makes them somewhat "hot under the oollar,” as it were. While Sherman la aeoepoUeiag 68 out ot a possible 9* votes Foraker at his highest flight of freaEf caanst command but 38 votes, and his grip upon all of them is not absolutely secure notwithstanding that over $50,000 of the state campaign fund was indirectly devoted to boosting the fire-and-frenzy candidate. Conflicting reports out in South Dakota deolare that young Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has abandoned her much-discussed ap plication for divorce from her husband and also deny the rumor. But the fact that she has gone to St Paul for optical treatment and given up her Sioux Falls cottage places the preponderance of apparent evidence in favor of the relinquishment theory in spite of the positive denials of her Dakota attor neys. Should Secretary Blaine receive the republican presidential nomination he would probably not care to have such a family skeleton exposed as a campaign at traction. That may account for this, prospective conclusion of the case. A Differsues of Opinion. CoL Livingston and Senator Ellington do not agree as to the extent which tbe third party sentiment prevailed in tbe recent alliane > convention at Indi&naDolia. Cot. Livingston was a delegate to the conven tion and Senator Ellington was not. Both have given their impressions of tbe convention and its work in inter views which have been published in Atlanta. Col Livingston says that the third party bad only a small represen tation in the convention, but that it had some very active lobbyists on tbe outside. Senator Ellington is of the opinion that fully seven-tenths of the members of the convention favored the third party and be is satisfied that at the February meeting the other three-tenths will favor it also. It must be admitted that CoL Livingston’s opportunity for gathering correct informa tion was better than Senator Ellington’s, because he was oa the inside and heard what the delegates had to say in their secret oou ferencee. Senator Ellington heard the talk on tbe outside. His association doub'.lesa was largely with those who were at Indian apolis for the purpose of influencing tbe alliance to take some actioa favorable to the third party. Still, it is remarkable that be should differ so greatly with CoL Liv ingston upon a matter in whioh both are so deeply Interested and concerning which both sought information. Oeb Livingston was anxious that the con vention should take no action with regard lo the third party, and it did not, and It ■nay he that he was really deceived as to the extent which tbe third party sentiment pre vailed. On the other hand, it is understood chat Senator Ellington is heartily in favor of the third part}’, and, that being the case. he may have ■ egarded the third party indi cations much more favorably than tbe facts warranted. The probabilities are that neither Col. Livingston nor Senator Elling ton saw the situation as it actually was. Each was too much interested In finding a condition of affairs in harmony With his views to see tbe exact truth. President Folk in an interview in Wash ington hints that there will be very im portant political aotion taken at tbe Feb ruary meeting. He declares that the old partief are on the verge of coalescing. This seems to indicate that in his opinion there will be a third party, and that the back bon#-of it will be the organizations whioh were recently in session at Indianapolis. It is certain that a big effort is going to be made to carry the National Farmer's Al liance and all Its auxiliary organizations into the third party. W hether It will suo ceed or’not is a question that cannot now be answered with any degree of certainty. But if there should be a third party, it would not play a very conspicuous part in the n/ttianal campaign. The struggle be tween the Democratic and Kepublioan parties for supremacy is going to be a tre mendous one, and will so completely absorb the attention of the whole country that a third party would secure but scant con sideration. Fife May Yet Have Fun. Quite a bunch of novel suggestions is in troduced by the Loudon correspondent of the New York Times in a recent cable letter. Notwithstanding that the queen has twenty-three grandchildren living on Brit ish soil the writer asserts that "the grave illness of one of them is immediately dis covered to threaten all sorts of painful complications. When Prince George re covers the usually stolid Britons are likely to indulge in a popular demonstration—un less the correspondent is away off his reck oning as to the present condition of public sentiment. It is expeoted to assume pro portions similar to the outburst of enthusi asm which greeted the father of the young prinoe on his restoration to health. Very largely this probability is attributable to the personal popularity of Prince George. With his father the cause was just the same. Consigned to a private station in life Prince George would probably never have amounted to anything remarkable. Only for the unusually conspicuous stupidity of his very ridioulous eider brother, who is known to London society as ’’Collars and Cuffs,” and the strong contrast that they form by comparison the young prince would not appear at all extraordinary even as average modern princes go. Still he is the particular pet and idol of the Wales family, and the especial prde of Albert Edward pere. Owing to the generally acknowledged worthlesness of the Duke of Clarence the statement said to have bad its origin in a very high quarter has steadily gained cur rency to the effect that the “Collars and Cuffs” Duke of Clarence would not be allowed to marry and would be gently though firmly relegated to the most con venient shelf in order that the crown and and scepter of Britania might descend still further through the new royal line that is to be established by the judicious matrimonial alliance that Prince George is to form. Should’thia plan fall and both princes die without issue then their eider sister would take up the royal responsibilities and rev enues with the aid of her Scottish Duke of Fife as a sort of assistant or wooden ruler and father of the ensuing family ks well as lord high keeper of the paregoric. Very neat arrangement. It may operate quite nicely if the Britons should not ulti mately decide to abolish sovereigns alto gether. When the enterprising management of a Chicago military fair started a contest of respective popularity between Baby Huth Cleveland and Baby McKee to ascertain the prevailing sentiments and get the dimes of the martial hogkillers the voting naturally Indicated a deficiency in perfect good taste and a consequent prefer ence for Baby McKee by a soore ot 1,385 to 1,187. Stili Baby Ruth did pretty well considering that she is so little and helpless. But the queerest part of the whole incident was the dispatch dated at the white house that some practical joker sent out from Washington in the name of Baby McKee gallautly resigning the prize dollie to Baby Ruth in the following words: “To Committee—Grandpa said I’d get there, but I’m a boy. I don’t want the doll and I want it given to Baby Cleveland.” To suspect that the President of the United States wrote suoh a slangy arid boastful dis patch as that on behalf of bis grandohild would not be a fair presumption. Never theless it is a really good suggestion in gal lantry if not in politeness to the victorious Master Ben McKee, Another orank has jumped off the Brook lyn bridge and furnished a newspaper para graph as well as a subject for the New York coroner. That bridge seems to form a very attractive sort of place to jump from. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1891. Thoughtfulneae In Thanksgiving. Everybody ought to know what Thanks giving day is intended for. Yet to most of us it simply implies a day given up to an indiscriminate slaughter of turkeys and the initial proceedings of subsequent dys pepsia, in the course of which the bad small boy does a very large share of the gorging and the parish minister “does the rest.” That is to say that tbe good dominie does “those things which” tbe thoughtless lad “ought to have done,” and which he is generally found to have “left undone.” So those of us who are prosperous gener ally feel well satisfied and somewhat dis tended on this day of “riotous living.” But how fares it with the toothsome and Invol untary turkey? Manifestly this can be no favorite celebration with him. But how many of us ever stop to think who may be direstly made wretched by our happiness or who or what may suffer in order that our desires may be satisfied i Truly this is a world of selfishness. Thanksgivingjday doesn’t come around often. When ft does oome we should make the most of it in every way. Long faces and mournful mouthings are not at all necessary. They do not make the world any better. Uniform cheerfulness has a far more desirable influence. At the same time we should not forget that while ws swell with satisfaction there may be others about us much less fortunate whose sorrows or physical suffering* we might greatly soften by merely enersbUg m little thoughtful coesidaifettoe as4 shar ing our over-abas desire with these wise are la need. Whatever atmospheric defeats there may be in the outward seeming of the day may be rendered far mors oheerful to the depressed in tb at way. Dou’t eat too muck. Above all things don’t drink too much. Thence comes de bility, headache and remorse. This is the only Tnanksgiviag day we shall have for a whole year. Let’s make it uuaulmoua. Bulldozing Tactics. The republicans in New York are trying to get possession of the New York Assembly by bulldozing the official cau Yassers and by asserting that the democrats are "trying to steal tbe legislature.” It is evident that the democrats hare no intention to do any stealing. The official canvass, according to Gov. Hill, gives them two majority. The republicans are seeking to deprive them of this majority by bulldozing tactics, and it Is certain that they would not hesitate to steal a majority if thdy could do so success fully. Indeed it looks very much as if the republicans were trying “to steal the legisla ture” and that tbe democrats were trying to prevent them. Tbe Senate, aa well as the Assembly, is very close, and a day or two ago a repub lican senator died. At once the republican organs began to make a great noise about tbe necessity for having a special election in the senatorial district in which the va cancy exists. They are telling Gov. Hill what his duty in the premises is and insist ing that if he fails to order a special election before tbe meeting of the legislature be will be guilty of a deliberate attempt to defraud the oeople of their rights, or something to that effect. In our dispatches yesterday tbe death of a democratic member of the Assembly was announced. It will be interesting to notice whether tbe republican organs will be as anxious to have an election to All tbe va cancy in the Assembly as they have been to have one to fill the Senate vacancy. With such a record the Republican party has for stealing offices, from the presidency down, it would seem as if it would not have the effrontery to charge the Democratic party with stealing. Behind Its mask of virtue, however, it seems to hesitate at nothiug. There docs not appear to be any reason to doubt that tbe democrats are rightfully entitled to the majority in the Assembly which tbe canvassing boards give them,and and it is safe to say that nothing ths repub lican organs oan say or the republican leal era do will causo them to give up what belongs to them. A Silly Oblectlon. The silliest objsetion that has yet been made to Judge Crisp for speaker is that he is not a native born American. What does it matter whether he was bora in this country or not? His parents happened to be in England when he was bora, but he was in this country a good long time before he began to cut his teeth. He is a genuine American from the crown of his bald head to the soles of his feet. And if he should be elected speaker there would be no chance of his becoming Presi dent while occupying that office. In the event of the death of the President and Vice President the speaker does not become President The Secretary of Stata suoceeds to the presidency, and after him the cabinet ollicer next in rauk, and so on through the whole list of secretaries. Extraordinary efforts are being made to defeat Mr. Crisp, it doesn’t look yet, how ever, as if they would succeed. All the in dications are that he is in the lead, but to maintain the lead he will have to do a good deal of hard work, and his friends must help him. Mexican military authorities are alleged to have oommitted another gross outrage by flagrantly arresting and imprisoning an American army officer who had ventured to cross the border on peaceful purposes in tent. Fairly wild with indignation the ollicer pronounces his arrest and incarcera tion a gross outrage without the shadow of a justifying pretext. Doubtless the Mexi can goveiMment will suavely apologize and smilingly swear that it was all an innocent mistake. That is the usual way. And when the Mexioan authorities feel inollned to discipline another Amerioan they will blandly repeat the same simple programme. Agitator MoGlynn is sUI hacking away at tks pqpo and tbs arcUbtafcep of Hew York and declares that he trill aevtr re treat anything he has said. Just so leng as the mob chips in liberally to hear his beau tiful theories “agin poverty”he will con tinue to shout anti-poverty heroics and re vile the religion that he formerly olalmed to believe in. But he will probably lose some of his buoyant confidence in it when he finds that it no longer pays. Most of these anti-poor advocates believe in high living, and it weakens their arguments mightily to come in coCtact with a money less crowd. Granting indemnity to the families of those of the Baltimore sailors who were killed or Injured in the recent scrimmage in Valparaiso shows a disposition on the part of the Chilean government to aot fairly in the matter. Therefore the attempt to work off as an American that Irish sailor from a merchant vessel who had never even been in this country was peculiarly improper and as disheaest as it was ridiculous. - PERSONAL. Napoleon at >5 commanded the army of Italy. At 30 he was not only one of the most illustri ous generals of the time, but one of tbe great law givers of the world. At 46 he saw Water loo. Fob over thirty years Capt. L H. Wood of Poughkeepsie and bis four sons hare been sav ing human beings from drowning. They are known to have rescued over 100 unfortunates from watery graves. Dr Albert Shaw in a recent lecture at Johns Hopkins Universuy predicted that the adoption of Gen. Booth's method* would result in com pletely stamping out the slums of London within twenty years. W.

He dresses for the game m white flannels, the coat tightly buttoned. An observer says thAt Sir Julian never stoops for a balL In fact, his game is exceedingly digni fied.

WAHrnoTPN's old headquarters at Talley Forge will sooa pans Into the hands of * patri otic association. A body of patriotic Philadel phians, headed by Postmaster Geaeral Wana tnaker, and tbe Daughters of the Revolution both desire the property. The Marquis de Urouijo, who has just died in Spain, began life without a penny and died a Cnesus. His executors have paid a suoc-ssion tax of $430,000 on his fortune He left SIOO,OOO to be expended for masses for his soul. His entire estate aggregated 325,000,000. One of tbe most distinguished looking women on tbe board of ladv manages of the world's fair is Mrs. Augeli, the wife of the president of the University of Michigan. She is a woman of various acquirements and accomplishments, and of unusual force of character. The handsome crown princess of Sweden will bring Into tbe royal house of Bernadotte quite a fortune, as her only brother being childless, she will inherit the vast amount bequeathed to the Grand Duohes* of Baden by her parents, the late Emperor William and the Empress Augusta.

From the Providence Journal (Ind). Tbo apparent absence of tin cups or badges from tbe Home Market Club banquet reminds us that somehow we hare not beard so much about American tin plate Bince the elections were over. Hunt Dp the Neighboring: Heathen. From the Indianapolis News (Ind.). For many long years it has been considered the paramount duty of the preacher to prepare people for the world to come, and this has been supplemented by heroic attempts to im prove the condition of the beatben many thousand miles away. Success to this new effort that promises to make better the actual locality in which its promoters now live and to consider the condition of the heathen at its very door. Bogy Somewhat Violently Bounced. From the Chicago Times (Dem.)- The speedy sentence and decapitation of this dabbler in literature, Bogy, is likely to make many regret that all of the fabricators of books with suggestive titles, decorated with neky {Setups*, and composed chiefly at situations verging up mi the unmantxmaMe are net eaten aMe to a Hke stern discipline. Yet a censor hip of this nature has its penis. Years ago some little Jove in office ejected Walt Whitman from government employ because of alleged in decenciee in his poems. To-day the “good gray poet" is admired wherever American poetry is read, while his official censor only escapes uni versal ridicule by the faot that everybody has forgotten his name. Labor Continues to Get Left. From the Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.). A little while ago New England mauufact urers could demaud anything, but the balance of Industrial power has shifted, and now they are stranded. This incident will direct fresh attention to one significant fact. The gover nor of Massachusetts won his fight this year, as he did last, very largely on this tariff issue. He sees and Knows that the last tariff legislation is not acceptable to New England, and as business Interests are always paramount in politics as in everything else, young Mr. Russell's agitation has home legitimate fruit. The closing of mills, too, throws out of employment many work men, and these very soon cornu to look for the cause of their distress. The great Bay state is uot in a comfortable industrial condition to day. and it is extremely likely in next year's national contest to emphasize ita protest against a tariff that has unquestionably worked to the great disadvantage of very many of its people. Overwhelming Hospitality. For tbe first time he stepped into a law office on Walnut street, says the Philadelphia Press, and. bowing politely to tbe student, asked: "Wiß you allow roe to look at your city direc tory a few minutes?" "Certainly,'' replied the student. He seized the directory, dropped into a chair, and, after consulting Gopsif a few minutes, looked up and said: “Can I trouble you for a small scrap of pa per?" He was accommodated. Then be took up a pen from the desk, dipped it into the ink, scribbled a few lines on the paper and smilingly asked the student; "Have you an old enveloped’" The student surveyed him a few seconds, then replied: “Of course. Here you aue. Anything else* ' “If you could sell me a ‘--cent stamp I would be obiichet." “With pleasure. Two cents, please. Any thing else?’’ "N-no. I think not. thank you.” Overcome by the magnificent cheek displayed the student, drawing his watch, aaid; "You may want to know tbe time. It is just 3:06; I don't think there is any law against spitting on the floor; smoking is allowed, and here ia a match. We all put our feet up on the desks, and I see no reason why you can’t, too. "Here is an evening paper Shall I have the office-boy mail the letter for you? Just put your hat on the rack over there, and if the rat tle of the writing-machine disturbs you I'll have the stenographer stop.” “You overwhelm me with your politeness, murmured the mau. "I am very sorry that I can't partake of your hospitality ” “What: Not going? I'm sorry for that. WelL call again when you haven’t anything else to da We will always be pleased to see you. Good-by." And as the door closed the student looked over at his preceptor and gasped; “That must be the King of Gaul Dispelled the Old Man’a Doubts. When Mr. Willard's production of “Judah" had set Loßdon agog with comment, and argu ments for and against the celebrated scene of the play were on every tongue—the scene in which Judah Llewellyn, the young clergyman, deliberately swears to a lie in defense of fee woman be loves—Mr. Willard decided to obtain the opinions of the ministers themselves, and to that end gave a special private matinee, invit ing clergymen of all denominations to attend, says the Chicago Pott. Nearly 1,000 of these responded, and among them were many quaint, unworldly characters They came in gaiters and shovel hats, and other garb peculiar to their different sects, and, taking advantage of the terms of the invitation, many brought their wives and daughters with them. The majority of the ministers had never en tered a play-house in their lives, and some were a trifle timorous. But. taking courage from numerical strength, they poured into the tnea ter. One old fellow in the most striking of ministerial garb came along with a young lady on each arm. He was a spare faced, severe looking man of 50 or thereabout, aud be re garded the matter as a very grave affair indeed. But the young ladles who came with him were of quite another mind They were plainly de lighted at the prospect of attending a genuine theater and seeing a real play, and as they passed In at tbe door and the brilliancy of the place, with its lights and warm colors, burst upon them, one of them enthusiastically ex claimed. with a gurgle of delight: “O, this is paradise!” Whereupon the grave old apostle turned to her with a reproving glance and said, with a broad Scotch accent: “Dinna be sae sure about that, lassie. I’m not sae certain it isn’t the ither place.' 1 But the old fellow’s doubts were dispelled when he had seen the play, and he was one of the most emphatic eulogists in the entire audience. Determined to Kick Her Dog. He got on the ferryboat at Market street, Camden. His eye was; a beautiful jet black, and was swollen to twice its natural size, says me Philadelphia Pri st. As soon as he stepped on board he became the center of attention. I inally, after struggling with conflicting emo tions for some time, he got up, and, approach ing a party of men who were eyeing him and exchanging significant nods, said: "Gentlemen, I’ve got a pretty eye, haven’t I?” “Well, yes," answered one. "No use denying that?" "Well, hardly.’’ “I'll not.” “1 bad one of Uie same kind about two weeks ago." began anotner in a patronizing way. "k>ll against a bed post in my sleep " “I blackened mine one time chopping wood chip flew up and struck me." “That reminds me. ’ This from a third. “I got one one time in a peculiar way. I was fool ing with a friend " "Well, gentlemen, I didn’t get mine in any of these ways," interrupted the man with his eye under a cloud. “No!” Chorus. “No, sir. I’ll not deny it. I’ll admit It. I got hit. She got the best, of me. My wife. I mean. Don’t sympathize with me. I don’t de serve sympathy. lam a rank fool. I knew she could get away with me before I married her.

The big turkey dinner that filled us so well, * Oh, how can 1 all tha ingredients measure That dear bill of lading prescribed as our store, The turk and his mystic abdominal treasure, The beans and the giblets, the gravy galore. The cider we brought in a jug from the depot. The truck agricultural none could excel, And ah! the lush fruit of cucurbits nepo— The dear pumpkins pies that we garnered so well! Yum, yum, what a dinner! That turk and punk dinner! That Thanksgiving dinner that crammed us so well! No Advantage. A man whose head was perfectly bald sat down in a chair in a Griswold street bafber shop with a grin on his feme, says the Detroit free Press , and as he was being lathered said: "I suppose you have observed that I am bald headed *” "Yes, sir; I has obsarved it, sah,” replied the barber "Rather got the advantage of you, eh?” "How, sah?” “Whv, you can't very well ask me if I want my hair cut. ” "No, sah, I can't sah; but I wishes to call your ’teushim to my h'ar renewer—so cents a bottle —a pint in a bottle—make your b ar grow in fo’ weeks, sah!” Got His Discharge. A touching instance of the humor whioh sever deserts a true Irishman, even in his worst troubles, says the FoutA’* Companion, Is recorded in an exchange A soldier was seen in the trenches holding his band above the earthwork. His captain asked; "What are you doing that for, Pat?” He replied with a grin as be worked his fing ers: "I'm feeling for a furlough, sure!” Just thee a rifleball struck his arm below the wrtal He drew it down quickly and grasped It with the ether hand to Check the blood. Then a qutwr expression of pain and humor passed over his face and be exclaimed: “An' faith it’s a discharge!” Gladstone was in parliament at 22, and at 24 was lord of the treasury. BAKING FOWDKR. npsA Baking Powder Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard. FLAVORING EXTRACTS. Stand Alone. It is a fact which can be proven by a single trial, that the flavor given to cakes, puddings, creams, sauces, by Dr. Price’s Delicious •Flavor ing Extracts, are as natural as the fruit and are as much unlike, in delicate flavor and strength, the cheap extracts as can possibly be imagined. In these respects they stand alone in the market. Dr. Price’s Vanilla is a year old before it is bottled and offer ed for sale. Age softens and developes its fine and deli cate flavor. ITEMS OF INTEREST. "I TELL you, Mr. Asa Potter Is a sharp oo*,’ said a prominent bank man yesterday," “and few people can get ahead of him. even when it comes to making a wager. Two or three years ago. when the Maverick Bank crowd were mak ing barrels of money, I went over to New York O' e day on tbe 8 o’clock train. Asa Potter and Waiter Potter were sitting directly in front of me, and I couldn’t help overhearing their talk. Asa was eulogizing the train service and Walter was running it down. Finally says Asa: ‘l'll bet you SSOO (producing the bills) that this train gets into New Vork exactly on time.’ Walter took tbe bet and then the subject was dropped. Boon afterward Asa took a stroll through the train. Stopping at Bridgeport he nogotlated with the conductor to put the train into New York on time for $250. We reached New York exactly on time and Asa won his $500." A rather STRANOR as well as amusing Inci dent happened on board the schooner Emma Clara, while at sea last Saturday on her way up from Rockport, Me. They were well out at sea, where tbe water was blue and clear and the wind very light, when one of the passengers discovered a large fish, which is known in those waters as a linn, following close behind the boat. Several of the bqys were soon leaning over the stern admiring tbe flsb. when one of them accidentally dropped his watch overboard out of his overshirt pocket. It was a large, old fashioned Swiss silver watch, and when it kit the water it glanced off sidewise and darted on its voyage to the bottom of the sea, but the linn saw it. and as be Is a fish that bites at every thing that shines, regardless of flavor or taste, opened his huge month and swallowed the watch at one gulp. The surprised and cha grined young man says that the watch had just been wound up and was good to tick away for twenty-four hours at laast. The fish seemed to enjoy the meal, and followed leisurely after the boat for some time. Since the middle of the summer contagious diseases have been raging among the cattle ia almost every part of Russia, especially in the ranches of the Crimea and the horse ranches in Caucasia. When the veterinary commission of the government took notice of she fact and sent experts to destroy the infected animals, the ranchmen and the peasants of the neighbor hood would not allow them to do their duty, and began to riot, which in several instances had to be put down by the bayonet The ministry of the interior has therefore decided to establish a "veterinary police system" throughout the em pire. The duty of the police will be to guard against the Importation of sick cattle from abroad, to watch in the cattle raising districts, the cattle markets, at the abattoirs, at the Lide and leather stores, and wherever live cattle or the products of animals are so'.d or kept lo store, that the orders of the government veter iuaries be promptly and accurately obeyed. Tbev will have control over the dairies which furnish milk, butter and cheese to large cities. Veterinary courts win be opened, with the power to punish the dealers in live stock and in animal products who disobey the orders of the veterinary doctors. An officer of the San Franctsoo said that as far as he could learn the war in Chile was in stigated and, in a measure, maintained by an English syndicate of capitalists, who were en gaged in nitrate and other business in that country. They sold their i roducts to the outside world for gold and paid their help ia paper money, which was badly depredated even be fore the war, but alter the war began tbe de preciation was 50 per oent. greater. "One gold dollar of Chilean money would buy three paper dollars, and you could get $2 40 cents in paper for one silver Amerioan dollar. At Coquitnbo the English capitalists own immense smelling works, where $250,000 worth of copper was smelted every week. This valuable output was sold for gold, and the labor was all paid in paper money. There had been much talk about Chile’s ability to strike heavy blows in case of a war with the United States. An officer on tbe ban Francisco says in the capture of Yalparlso the congressionansts’ squadron played no part worthy of mention. The Esmeralda. Cochrane, Acoucaq t and O’Higgins were all armed with heavy Armstrong rifle* and did not attempt to engage Forts;l'ratt and Callao at the entrance of the harbor, but kept well out of range. At Iquique they kept five miles out to sea and not a shell fell in the town. I never saw snob poor gunnery before, be said. Why, at 2,000 yards I saw the Cochrane keep up a fire on the Villa del Mar, and not a shot struck tbe fort, which, by the way, is a very large extensive work and offers a large target. When tbe four congres sional vessels wore firing at Fort Callao; the fort was struck a half dozen times only out of over 300 shots. The following case of a mania for soap eat ing, which deserves the coinage of the word sapessomania, or mania for eating eoap. Mrs. J., aged 29, of Danbury, Conn., consults her physician in reference to an irritable stomach of long standing. She gives the following de tails. When about S years of age she first en joyed a mouthful of bar soap; so agreeable was the taste that she would eat it "whenever she could get it.” When aged 6 years her mother found her, spoon in baud, eating soft soap with keen relish. As she grew in years so did her yearning for soap—her playmates ate candy, but she preferred soap; her father brought home to the other children sweetmeats, but to equally satisfy her a piece from common bar soap must be given. Until she was 11 her papessumama continued. When awake she loved to handle it and smell of it and eat of ic. When asleep she dreamed of soap. Often, to pacify her, a p e;o of soa:> was given to her to hold in her hand to soothe her to sleep, when she continued in her imagination still to cat soap. At 11 her stomach burned her so that she stopped her habit, but still continued to love to handle and to think of eating the great delicacy. When 23, or twelve years after her last feast, an advertising agent left at her door a 5-cent bar of bath-room soap, which pleased her so much that she ate it all in twenty-four hours. Since then she has eaten none, although there is always the desire to do so. To-day, did not her stomach forbid the yearning to "eat some more" would be irre sistible. Though she can no longer eat it, she still loves to handle It, she loves to use plenty of it in her housework and in her bath-room. The smell of It is still sweet to her nostrils, and the tnick suds she delights in remind her or the days gone by, never to return. Strange to say, she cares only for the esarse bar soap; fancy soaps she never uses. Personally she is of nervous temperament, yet evidently a woman of much self-control. She asserts that her mania Is as strong to-day as it was years ago. though she has tasted soap but once in eighteen years. De spite her Rtaiements, however, the doctors be lieve she Is still eating the little soap which her irritable stomach will allow her. MEDICAL.
