Pvogsrss of llic Country Town.
An eastern man traveling west warn
had occasion not long since to stop over
night in Springfield, O. Springfield has
a population not far from 32,000. To the
man who thinks there is no city in this
country but New York. Chicago or Bos¬
ton, as the case may lie, Springfield is of
course a mere rustic village. The stranger
stepped into the street from his hotel in
the evening. What he did or did not
expect to see he does not say. But what
ho did see was a city as brilliantly
lighted as the finest streets of New York
itself. An “opera house.’ 1 so called, was
near by. He entered and found it as
elegant and splendidly appointed as
many of the best eastern theaters. One
of the most popular plays of the win¬
ter in New York wafe at that time
being performed upon its boards in a
manner which would MUve been credit¬
able to the theaters in New York.
The eastern man opened wide his eyes
in astonishment. How much had New
York to offer in the wpv of city advan¬
tages that this country town out in Ohio
did not posses^ He has not answered
the question satisfactorily to himself
yet.
Springfield is only a type of the grand
young towns throughout the country.
While New York was lighting over the
bill for electric street cars many small
cities had already for years possessed a
splendid system of rapid trails'' of this
kind. Being newly laid out, their streets
are not narrow, crooked and dingy, like
the older thoroughfares of eastern cities,
but are broad, clean and beautiful.
Every such town has its free public
library. Where are there such in the
older cities?
Invention and modern progress have
steadily pressed forward to the aid of
the country town. Villago improve¬
ment societies are making it u joy
forever. Roads are becoming solid
and beautiful, noble trees line the
streets of the country town, tiny parks
in front of every dooryard are bril¬
liant with flowers. In many village
streets there is not so imiqh as a scrap
of paper to bo found. Elec.
make the night of the village as bi. J.ilL'.
as that of the great city. Fruits and
vegetables all come to the market with
the fresh flavor on them. In towns of a
few thousand inhabitants water works
supply pure water in abundance. Ere
long there will be electric lights in pri
vate houses. * sii\t§ _
Each town hits its own tasteful
artistic “opera house.” Some of thefe
village public halls are gems of beauty.
Here the great lecture, the concert,Ajie
popular play are given exactly a^fney
are in the city. The public schools are
better than they are in the hig,-oity, for
they are out or politics. Modern inven
tion has made the city yield up its trims
ures to the country, and co-operation,
combination, is the magic that has
wrought it all. The village has the ad¬
vantages of the city, and pure air, blue
sky and green trees besides.
Yet another ingenious and important
adaptation of electricity is a device for
making it ring the chimes on church
bells. This seems so reasonable an in¬
vention that the wonder is nobody
thought of it sooner. However, H. F
Atwood, of Orange, N. J., appears to la*
the first man who has made the idea
practicable. Put into words, which do
not tell a tithe of the trouble it has cost
Mr. Atwood, he has attached electrical
wires to the various bells which ring tho
chimes. The other ends of the wires are
attached to a keyboard similar to that of
a piano or organ. The player sits quietly
down to this keyboard, which is fixed
near the church organ, and plays the air
to be rung out by tho chimes. Each
touch upon the keys completes the cur
reut which acts on the hells, and up in
the church tower they ring the air tire
organist plays upon the keys a hundred
feet below. A phonographic attach¬
ment enables the player to hear the bells
playing, so that he can give the expres¬
sion he wishes to the music.
MR. SMITH’S NEWSPAPER.
Washington, June 2l>.—Secre¬
tary Hoke Smith’s efforts to rim
the Interior department and a
newspaper at the same time bid
fair to involve him in serious
trouble. His ambition to supply
liis Atlanta paper with “scoops”
has embarrassed him several times,
but Saturday he had to answer to
the President for his journalistic
enterprise.
In the forenoon Secretary Gresh
am was glancing over the New York
papers: in one of them he saw
copied and dulv credited a Wash
ington special to tlm Atlanta Jour
nal. It stated that Minister Blount
would return from Hawaii just afe
soon as his resignation wiis accept- j
ed : that Secretary Smith had re
ci ived a letter from Minister
Blount, and further that the Presi
dent and cabinet entirely approved
all that Blount had doqe. Seero
tary Gresham called the President’s
altenti in to the dispatch. I
When Secretary of the Interior
entered the Cabinet room yester-;
dav, smiling and gracious, the
President pointed out the article
to him and asked him if his paper i
had published such a dispatch,
Mr. Smith read it, hesitated and
finally remarked that Ins “you* g
man,” meaning thereby his cor¬
respondent, must have been indis¬
creet enough to include in his dis¬
patches some things intended for
private conversation. The Presi¬
dent advised the Secretary to be
more careful in keeping state se¬
crets from his “young man,” and
there the incident terminated.—

A Florida Land Grant.
Washington, July 7.-1 n the case
of Florida Central and Peninsular
Railway Company, the secretary of
the intei ior has affirmed the deci¬
sion ol the Secretary Noble hoMing
that the grant of May 17, 1856,
has not beer, forfeited by any act
of the Florida Railroad Company,
or his successors, and that no
action lias been taken by the state
denying to the company the bene¬
fits of the grant. He, therefore, re¬
voked the order suspending lists
Nos. 2 and 3 of lands within the
(iainsY*Jb* land district in Florida,

made by the act of L7, 1856,

JUSTICE B *MjT CHF0RDDEAD.
Newport, I ".July 7.-Associate
-Justice Samuel Blatchford passed
quietly and peacefully away from
earth at 7 :80 this evening.
He retained consciousness until
an hour or two before his death.
There was no sudden change in his
condition, simpl} a gradual slip¬
ping away which has been taking
place for the last week.
Arrangements for the funeral
are not yet completed, but the
body will probably bo taken to
Washington for interment.
Samuel Blatchford was born in
New York. March 9, 1820; gradu¬
ating at Columbia College in 1837,
and in 1842 was admitted to the
bar. lie was a law partner of
William H. Seward. In 1867 he
became district judge for southern
New York, and in March, 1V82,
was appointed an associate justice
on the supreme bench.

THE FLORIDA NORTHERN.
The Florida Northern, or, ns it is
better known, the South Bound,
railroad’s extension, will lx* ironed
from the junction at the crossing
of the Central railrord to the
chee river by the first of August,
The entire line to its connection
with'the Florida Central and Pen¬
insular railroad at Hart’s Road,
Fla., will be completed, itissaid,by
the fiist of November, though par¬
ties who are posted about railroad
building say that unless the work
is pushed more energetically it
will be January or February before
the trains are running over it. j
The slow progress of the work ;
of late is due largely to the fact
that there has been some delay in
the hands getting their money, i
and they are working very reluct-;
antly under the circumstances.;
This is no fault of the builders of;
the road nor of the contractors,
but of the sub-contractor*. The,
money has been forthcoming and
has been paid promptly to the sub- j j
contractors, but in many instances
they have delayed in paying off
their men, and in one or two cases j
they have left their work.
To relieve this difficulty the head
contractors have recently taken ,
charge of the work, and the full
force of hands is being kept cm
ployed. Since this change was
made everything is moving along |
all right, and tho probability is
that the work will be finished

THE MEN WITHOUT OFFICE.
Washington, July G.-Ihe Vir¬
ginia Democratic Association, an
organization which numbers in its
ranks the most prominent Demo¬
cratic politician of Virginia, had
organized a speechifying trip down
the Potomac last night. The invi¬
tations issued included the Presi¬
dent and all the members of his
Cabinet, from whom, of course,
“regrets” were received, and nany
other public men. Some of whom
accepted. There was a curious
tone of disappointment as to
offices, running through most of
the speeches. Hon. John Goode,
Chilean Claims Commissioner who
was a prominent candidate for the
solicitor generalship, said that the
campaign of the coming fall would
have to be carefully looked after
to see that the Old Dominion did
not lag in the race. Virginia owed
a debt of support to the adminis
ation. Some of the listeners might
have been disappointed in their
expectation of office, but it should
not be s.iid that any Virginian was
a Democrat for revenue only. The
Democrats should support their
party on the Chicago platform to
which they were pledged. Tne
Sherman act was a cowardly make¬
shift, resorted to in order to secure
the vote of the silver states in the
last campaign. President Cleve¬
land had taken the only possible
course by calling an e traordinary
session of Congress. The Demo¬
cratic admiiiistation had been in
j o ver only a few short months hut
La l won the confidence of the peo¬
ple. They had saved #20, 000,000
already in pensions. This was
not to say that the state of Virgin¬
ia was opposed to the payment of
honest pensions to honest ex-union

countryjgdiut pensions baldheadednese. it vriiM

After a speech from H. C. Man¬
sur, .of Missouri, second comptroller
of wirrei.cy, Representative Enloe,
of Tonnesee, made a short address,

forts, as he had lost his voice asking
for offices he never expected t> get.

Eighth Virginia District, and oth¬

GEORGIA CENTRAL.
New York, July 5.-II. C. Collins
made the following statement this
morning in regard to the Georgia
Central reorganization scheme:
“The old plan of reorganization of
the Central Railroad and Banking
Company of Georgia has been
abondoned, the committee consist¬
ing of Col. Phinizy, H. M. Comer
and E. P. Howell, represent’d by
their counsel, Mr. Adams, motion¬
ed Unit a member of the old organ
ization committee look to adjust
moot of the different interests in
volved, especially that relating to
the floating .winch was duo July
1st. No formal action was taken,
and the meeting adjourned until
tomorrow.”
It was further stated at Hollins’
oftice that the reason for abandon
ing the scheme was the opinion
arrived at by tlw committee that
the earnings of the company did
not warrant the issuing of bonds
to the extent formerly expected.
The reorganization scheme which
has been thrown over as imprac
ticable had the approval of about
75 per cent of the stockholders and
involved the issuing of bonds to
the extent of $40,000,000 of which
#15,000.000 were to be on preferred
stock and $25,000,000 on the com
men. It was estimated that this
proposed bond issue would
mon than cover the outstanding
indebted toss.
The old c mnnittee consisted of
H. B. Hollings, chairman; Gen.
Fitzgerald, Jas. Woodard, James
Stillman, Jacob H. Schiff, of Kohn,
Loeb & Co., Emanuel Lehman, E.
E. Dennison, of Philadelphia, F.
M. Colston, of Baltimore, and E.

these, gentlemen onlv Messrs.

other meeting may be held in a

Two Tons of Itllorsi
Chicago, July 5.—Accordingtoa
special bulletin just issued by the
postoffice authorities in this city
there must be thousands of people
scattered over the country that
are waiting for the letter that
never came, and lots more in Chi¬
cago that are wondering what has
become of their expected advice
from home. No less than two tons
of misdirected letters are now
stacked up in the basement of the
office, ever}’ effort to determine th#
exact destination of each one of
the number having proved abor¬
tive. The failure to deliver so
many letters directed to this city
is attributive to the fact that every
lodging house and flat that has
anything over a single room to
rent now dubs itself a hotel.
There are two or three thousand of
such alleged hotels in Chicago, and
unless the street and number m
given on the letter the carriers’ de¬
partment is simply helpless in the
matter.

Chloroform in Typhoid Fever.
Dr. P. Werner, physician to the
Gorman Hospital at St. Petersburg,
has treated with the greatest suc¬
cess, so says Merck’s Bulletin, 180
cases of typhoid fever by using a
the author was
work of Behring on the microbi
cide action < f chloroform upon tho
baccillus of typhoid fever; but he
was not familiar with the observa¬
tions of Dr. Stepp, of Nuremberg,
who, in 1890, successfully admin¬
istered chloroform in cases of ty¬
phoid fever.
Dr. Werner employed, as has al
reudy been said, a one per cent so¬
lution of chloroform, the patients
taking one to two tablespoonfuls
every hour or two, night and day,
without interruption, as long as
the fever was at its height.
As the disease abated, the dose
was progressively diminished, al¬
though, even after the fever had
completely disappeared, the medi¬
cine was cod tin ued for some time,
several teaspoonfuls being given
each day.
In all the cases where this treat¬
ment was commenced before the
tenth day of the disease, the most
favorable results were obtained;
the patients did not present the
regular typhoid condition; the gen
eral symptoms were limited to fe
ver, with feebleness and want of
appetite; the tongue never got in¬
to that coated, dirty, and loathsome
condition so characteristic of ty
phoid tever; the thirst, habitually
so intense, disappeared in about
two days, and the diarrhoea anti
meteorism progressively diminish
ed and soon disappeared altogthor.
Bed sores were never observed, and
relapses very rare,
When the treatment with chlo
roform was commenced late, the
disease l eing already iu the third
week, such extremely favorable re
suits were not attained ; but, even
in such cases, the treatment proved
very useful, and was always well
borne. Nevertheless, in four cases
Dr Werner observed a jaundice,
which in one instance wassuftic
ient-ly pronounced to advise a sus
pension of the medicine. Three
of these cases were in children;
the fourth occurred iu a young
man.
It might be remarked, in con
elusion that the observations of Dr.
Werner agree in every respect with
those of Dr. Stepp. r I he treatment
of typhoid fever by chioform ap
pears to be deserving of the atteu
tion of the practitioner, not only
on accout of its efficacy, which has
been proved by two investigators
independent of each other, but also
because of its great simplicity.—
