This event carried terror because tt was sudden and ap- palling, but had the same disastrous results to life and limb come silently they would have been unnoticed. [not ouly by the people of the land but also by the very co: munity in which they occurred. Fatal events of a far worse nature have taken gee in this very city, but they have attracted no attention, nor would they w did not the Bu of Vital = Statis- cue them to our notice. **Firures do not lie.” sive may be uncertain, and the report on the sof thiscity is a startitng comment on ite life. nw the past year the enormous increase of certain sis simpy appall ng. While the total number iminished and the death rate on most diseases decrease: still it 18 farteater in one or two seri- ous disorders than was ever known before. More people died in the city of New York in 1882 from Brignt’s disease of the kidneys, than from diphtheria, siall-pox and typhoid fever all combined! This scarcely seems possible but it is true and when {t is remembered that less than one-third the actual deaths from Bright's Case are really reported as such, the ravages of tho malady can be partially understood. ‘The immetiate query which every reader will make upon sch a revelation of facts is: What causes this in- crease? This is a difficult question toanswer. ‘Ihe na- ture of the climate, the habits of life, the adulteration of foods and liquors, all undonbtedly contribute; but no immediate cause can be certainly assigned. Often before the victim knows it the disease has begun. Ite approaches are so stealthy and its symptoms so obacure that they cannot be definitely foreseen, and are only known by their effects. | Any kidney disorder, however slight, is tho first stage of Bright's discease. But it is seldom that Kidney disorders can be detected. They do not have any certain symptoms. Mysterious weariness; an un- usual appetite; periodical headaches: occasional nau- sea; uncertain paing; loes of vigor; lack of nerve power; irrewularity of the heart; disordered daily habits; im- pertéct dizestion—all these and many other symptoms are the indications of kiduey disordereven though there may be no pain in the region of the kidueys or in that Portion of the body. The serious nature of these trou- Ules mey be understood from the fact that Bright's dis- ease is as certain to follow diseased kidneys as decom- Position follows death. Itis hich time the Doctors in this land who have been unable to control kidney troubles shouid; be aroused and compelledtto find:some remedy, or acknowledge’one already found. The suffering pubiie needs help and can- not await the tardy action of any hai incorrectly formulated theories. If the medical world hiss no certain reme dy for this terrible dieease let them acknowledge it and seok for one outside the pale of their profession. For the discovery of this remedy and for its application to this disease, the people of this city; the jrople of the whole land; not only those who are sufferinz, but thore who have friends in danger, are earne-tiy end longingly looong. he above quotation from the New York Tribune is a increase of kidney diseases; their insidious beginnin® und frightful endings and the acknowledged inability of physicians to successfully every one who haa the slichtest symptoms. It ix fortu- nate, however, that the surest relief is often found where ibly, least expected, and that there is a the evils above deccribed we have come to y believe. Within the past two years we have fre- Quently seen statements of parties claiming to have been cured of serious kidney troubles even after hope had beyn abandoned; but in common with most people we have discredited them. Quite recently, however, = number of prominent and well-known men havecome out voluntarily and stated over their signatures that the, were completely cured by the use of Warner's Sate Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people have been ‘aware that this medicine has an unusual standing and generally; but that it had accompl.ched so much in checking the ravaes of kidney disease is not so gen- erally known. Its great worth has been shown not only by the curesit bas effected, but also because a number of base imitations have appeared in the market, fraud. ulentiy ciaiming the valuable quatities of the original fone Cure. If it were not valuable it would not be imi- ited. The above may seem like an ultra endorsement of a popular remedy, but it is not one whit atronger than the facts admit. Whatever aasiats the world toward health and consequent happiness sfould receive the hearty endorsement of the press and all friends of humanity. It is on precisely this principle that the foregoing state- | ment is made, and it merits the careful consideration of every thinking reader. it $100 Ix GGG. oo L DDD. @Goot.L DD G °o 3 L DD 6c¢ 06 poD GGG 00 LLLL DDD GIVEN Away! 3.

He Tells How He Prepared It and Delivered Another One. Washington Correspondence of the Cleveland Leader. The other day, while visiting Congressman Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, I referred to his speech on Duluth, which created so much laughter over the country some years ago, and asked him ff it was a prepared one or whether all of its wit had been the offspring of the spur of the moment. Mr. Knott said: “My Duluth speech was partially prepared, but most of it came to me while I was on the floor. The speech had something of a history. The land subsidy bill was up in the House. It was near the close of the session, and when I returned from Kentucky, where I had been sud- denly called by the iliness of my brother, Dawes and several members came to me and told me they wanted me to make a speech upon it. I Tentied that I had had trouble in getting the floor, and it was so near the end of the session that I did not want to prepare a speech on the subject without knowing positively that I would have a chance to deliver it. They assured me that they would provide the chance. They would arrange the matter with the Speaker, and I should be recognized. I then went to work, investigated the subject, and spent days in preparing. an elaborate speech upon it. The subject at last came up in the House. I tried to get the floor a number of times, but some one always got the Speaker's eye be- fore me. Again I was ready, and the subject failed to come up, and at last when it did come, Mr. Holman, of Indiana, got in ahead of me, but at this time the House adjourned without hearing him, giving him the right to the floor when the bill next came up. I then went to Mr, Holman, told him that I had prepared a speech on the subject, and at whose instance I had pre- pared it. 1asked him to give me his right to the floor, or at least a part of his time. To surprise he retused to do so. I was then in despair, and was feeling very blue as I walked down through the rotunda of the Capitol. Here I met Mr. Kerr, and he, seeing I was out of sorts, asked me what the matter was. I told him. He then said he would see Holman, and would, he thought, get me a part of his time at least. This was on Friday. ‘On the next Thursday morning a very pollte, | pleasant gentleman came into my room and told me that on the following Wednesday a bill would come up to improve the harbor of Du- luth. I turned to him and said with an bonest, questioning smile, ‘My friend, will you please tell me where Duluth $s?’ Of course, I knew its situation, but I wanted him to understand [ did not thing much of his bill, and thus the easier refuse his request. He did not see the irony of the remark, but put his hand into his breast pocket and pulled out a map and handed it to me. As soon as I looked at it I saw that here was the finest fleld for a funny speech that had ever been presented in the country. No one can rightly appre- ciate that Duluth speech without having seen that man. On its tace the whole civilized world was drawn in circles. These circles be- came smaller and smaller, until they terminated in a dot at the center.and at that dot was written the word ‘Duluth.’ On the different circles were the words 100 miles from Duluth, 200 miles from Duluth, 300 miles trom Duluth, 1,000 miles from Duluth, 4.000 miles from Duluth,and so on. All the great cities of the country were noticed, and their distances from Duluth given. Chicago, St. Lonis, San Francisco and New York on that map looked like hamleta compared with Du- lath, and the distance from Liverpool. London and Constantinople were given, as though Du- luth was co-equal with them. Below it were printed numerous statistics showing that here were 2,000,000 square miles.all tributary to Du- luth. Tlooked atthe map while the bland young man delivered his eulogy of this prospective me- tropolis, and as he closed I said: ‘Would you have any objections to leaving me this map? I must consider the matter. I live in the interior of Kentucky, in a defile away up at the head of a little creek, and most of my constituents have never seenasnip. I have to be very careful in my conduct In Congress to not displease them’— and went on for some time in this manner. Strange to say, he suspected nothing. He not only cheerfully lent me that map, but he gave it to me. As he left my room he looked back and said: ‘Mr. Knott, after you have studied that map I hope you will go for our bill.” ‘Yes,’ said I, ‘I'll go for it.’ I never saw him afterward. On going up to the Capito! I could not keep the fun out of my mind. It took entire possession of me and staid with me. I then saw Mr. < He told me that Holman had consented to let me have the half-hour. It then occurred to me that, as Superior City was near Duluth, and almost connected with it, could make some funny remarks about Duluth in the. introduc- tion of my speech on the land subsidy, get the good-will of the House, and have my time ex- tended indefinitely, so that I could deliver my prepared speech. I sent for Friday's Globe, and: by the next day had thought out many things which I used in the speech. But the great part of it came from the inspiration of the moment, The situation was peculiarly favorable. Every word seemed to be appre- ciated, and the mind of the audience responded in perfect harmony to mine. After I had spoken. out my half hour, 1 was forced to go ou in the same strain or to risk a failure in the sudden change to my sober and carefully prepared so- briety speech. Isaw my danger and wound up asl began. The other speech, over which I had spent days of labor, was never delivered.” “Were you not astonished at the reception of your speech by the country?” I asked. “Yes,” was the reply. “I was never more as- tonished in my life. It was delivered late in the evening, and the House adjourned immedi- ately thereafter, The next morning the jour- nals of the country were full of it, and at the Capitol every one was laughing over it and con- gratulating me.” sa ee fe Wished to Ask a Question. From the Brooklyn Argus. He wandered into the Mayor's office and walking slowly up toa desk, asked timidly if his Honor was engaged “What's your business?” asked the clerk. “Well, you se, I’d like to speak privately to the Mayor. It’s a family affair.” “Relative to his Honor’s?” “Noo. It’s aboat my family. A personal matter—you understand?” “Well, he is engaged just at present. You are sure I will not do as well?” “You might. That is, now; but I must see his Honor later. I—I want to get married,” sald the visitor, blushing to the roots of his hair, and intently studying his boots. “Very well. Bring around the unfortunate female,” said the clerk. “You don’t expect to get married without having the bride on deck io you “Oh, no,” said the visitor, “but I want to settle a question that’s bothering me, first, I thought the Mayor might give mea little ad- vice about it, and then if everything is all right T'll see him later.” “Well, suppose you make me your advisor, ‘and see the Mayor when you have the girk along,” said the clerk. “But the Mayor is so good at giving advise,” said the visitor, hesitating. “Well, I guess you can tell me what todo. You see the girl I want to marry is a relative of mine.” ‘Very bad practice to marry relatives,” said the clerk. “Apt to get. left with a flighty brood of kids.” ‘That's what I've been told,” said the visitor. “But I think a heap ofthat girl. She's just my style down to her boots,” “I don’t doubt it,” said the clerk. “But I should strongly advise you to break offthe en- Spécial Correspondence of Tre EvEstxa Sar. : Ew Youx, February & The movement to raise the fund for the pedestal of the Barthold! statue begins to fizzle out.

But when it comes to raising $250,000 they are al failures. For some months they have done nothing aside from the contribu- tion of a few stilted letters to the press, it they have at last waked up and decided ‘to give a dramatic —performatce at the Academy of Music. This 1s to occur next Saturday night. The first thing that the eminent gentlemen of the committee. did was to send let- rs to alot Of wealthy people imploring them to take boxes. Some did and some didn’t. The ma- Jority dian’t. Those who did got their names in print, and the others were therefore envious and Tushed the next day and bought boxes also. The only mistake was that the boxes were put at such anabsurdly low price that there is very little chance of making any considerable amount. ‘The lower part of the house was not sold at all, and the general public will probably stay away. simply cause the entertainment itself ts not gvod enough for the price of admission. The proper course would have been to have organized aseries of entertainments, where a considerable amount of Money might have been obtained. Asit is, the reward will be very slight. ‘THR SILVER KING. They were very nervous at Wallack’s last Satur- day night, on the occasion of the production of “The Silver King.” Detectives were distributed through the house, several policemen stationed tn the lobby ana dozens of powerful men, retained ij the interest of the management, were scattered about in different parts of the house. Osmond Tearle, the leading man, about a month ago be- came involved in a drunken brawl in Union and made some derogatory remarks about Americans; spoke of them, in fact, In the most In- sulting terms, and called all the American actors “ham-fatters” The actors who were presentat the time felt hi; insul nd. swore that on the first night of “The Sliver King” they would attend in a body and hiss Mr. Tearle off the stage. They also threatened to take boots, carrois, eggs and other’missiles usually employed by the dramatic critics of the more violent kind, and pelt the actor on his first appearance, Hence'the nervousness in 1h. management at Wallack’s. Everybody In the audience Knew the state of feeling a: Mr. ‘Tearle, and, seeing that he was one against a umber, the majority of them decided to support him. Accordingly, when he appeared, he received an ovation as greatas any leading man ever re- ceived in New York before, Indeed, tt was a great den] more than Mr. Tearle deserved, and was the result of circumstances rather than solid appre- clation. The hissers were effectually squelched. I must say that Mr. Tearle has acted Ina very manly and upright manner since his brawl. He apologized to the men he knew the day after the occurrence, and explained that he had Just come in ou a steamer and had lost his head through taking a glass of brandy on an empty stomacb, so that he was not really responstble for his actions, We have so few really yood leading actors In New York that {t would be better to cultivate Mr. Tearle than to snub him. T don’t see that the fact of his being an Englishman 1s any reason why be should be tabooed. “The Stlver King” 1s a melodrama, somewhat after the style of “The ‘Ticket-of-Leave Man,” and made a pronounced hit. Mr. Wallack has not made a success of his new theater. For the past year his uccession of melodramas, such as “Youth,” ‘Mankind,” “Taken from Life,” and “The Worid,” have alfenated from him many of his old patrons, who are enthusiastic admirers of the comedies of the old school. In their place he has gained a few members of the lighter class of society and Some more gallery gods, but the old, respectable, thorough-going and soild audiences that once flocked to his’ theater, night after night, the sea- son through,fare now conspicuous by their ab- sence. No one thought when Mr. Wallack moved up town into his beautiful new theater that hewould descend tomelodrama. The neral impreasion was that he would keep to the iighest forms of dramatic art. There is no doubt now, however, that he went into blood and thun- der plays because he'thought that he could make more money by them. He made a serious blun- der. The houses were poor from the start, and Mr. Wallack was obliged to go around starring himself in such theaters as the Windsor, in the lower Bowery, and the Mount Mor- ris, in Harlem, 1n order to make enough money to euely tie deficiency in the receipts of his new house. Meanwhile Mr. rented his old theater to @ man-who produced German plays and operas, This man, Neuendorf by name, seems tohave known nearly as much about theatrical management as a cow does about a musket. He made @ complete failure of the theater from the beginning. | Soveral offers have been made to Mr. Wallack for the theater by American managers, but he has refused them all, and now an- nounces his determination to go down there himself and run both the old and new houses. ‘The old house will hereafter cater to the tastes of the million, while the new will become exclusively Wallackian again, Mr. Wallack will reopen in April the old house under his management by pro- ducing an Irish play called “The Omadam.” Dion Boucicault, who wrote the , Will star in it, and, it ts hoped, make another success like the phenomenal one of “The Shaughraun.” MACE AND SLADE, There has been no end of excitement over the two pugilists, Mace and Slade. It is doubtful if the arrival of any other two men could create so much interest throughout a city the sizeof New York. Presidents, eminent statesmen, foreign notables, famous and Infamous people of both hemispheres ass through and recelve only passing notice, but fem Mace and his pupil are the talk of the city all the time. When they appear in the street hundreds of people follow them, their car- rlage is mobbed, and crowds constantly surround their hotel. Fully ten thousand tickets were sold for the exhibition in Madison Square Garden. The indignation was very general when “the police ‘stopped the show and arrested the boxers. The proceedings in court have beén followed with the utmost interest. It was proved in the hearing on Wednesday before Justice Gardner that many of the policemen who arrested were themselves —_ expert boxers and. enthusiastic. admirers of the sport. The men are now released on bonds of $500 each for their good behavior. They will probably carry thelr case to a higher court and goon with their preparations for a new exhibition. It 1s pre- posterous to speak of the proposed friendly ex- hibition of sparring asa prize fight. The men are the closest friends and would not hurt each other if they could, and as far as that goes they could not hurt each other if they would, as they are both experts and proposed to spar with soft gioves. The whole trouble 1s due to that somewhat fussy old philanthropist, Henry Bergh, who has become so puffed up and conceited over his success in the Prey cung, of cruelty to animals that he feels that t is his duty to exercise a general supervision over the morals of the entire city. He has done noth- ing in recent years which has brought down such a storm of indignation as his action in regard to Slade and Mace. THE “1” ROAD AGAIN. Mace and Slade gagement at once, I've heard ot terrible re- sults following intermarriages in families. You may have a lot of children only fit to hire out to the dime museum, or worse still, out and out lunatics.” “Yes, I've heard so,” sald the visitor. “But it's awful hard to give that girl up. You see I only met her a month ago, and we have been engaged three weeks at that.” “Only met her @ month ago?” asked the clerk. “I thought you'said she was a relative.” ‘© she ig,” said the visitor, backing towards the door. “She's my cousin on my brother’ wife's side,” but he dodged the inkstand suc- cessfully and escaped. $+. —____ Mr. Blest was 80 and Miss Runnion was 18.

Tn relation to the scarcity of water in certain ‘sections of the city, Commissioner West stated toa Srar reporter to-day that this matter is one which gives him considerable concern. “Here we are,” he Said, “with a short supply of water, 26,000.00 gal- lons every twenty-four hours, apprehensive that our condition may become much worse before It can be permanently better, and what do we know of the causes? The only reasons given are what come from the engineer's office. The report of En- gineer Hoxte cannot be understood by very many of our citizens. Any inquiry made in relation to the present methods of ‘distribution would meet with his hearty assent, whether by Congress or otherwise, The matter 1s one of great im- portance to this District; it may be that these Seasons of scarcity are due to the fact that we have a greater population in winter than in sum- mer; but no mention ts made of this in Capt. Hoxle’s last report Commissioner West read from the report: “With the exception of a small contribution to the Washington high service by a 6-inch main across the P-street bridge over Rock creek, the entire supply of Washington crosses Rock creek in the two 48-inch mains which constitute the arch of the Aqueduct bridge. Just at this bridge is the Aqueduct office, in which a self-recording water-gauge stands, witch 1s con- nected with these mains and registers the pressure under which the Water flows into the city. The curve of pressure 80 recorded ts almost a straight Une throughout the twenty-four hours, the pres- sure increasing only about two pounds during the night So the quantity of water which flows Into the city at night ts but little less than that which flows In during the day time. Where it goes before reaching the Potomac through sewers Is not accu- rately known, but may be conjectured. It 1s prob- able that not ‘less than 10,000,000 gallons of water flow in at a time when litte or no consumption shoul reasonably expected. The mains are not en@fied during the day, and consequently have not to be refilled during the night. The loss cannot be accounted for through the leaking of these mains, because the leaking, continuing both day and night, ts added to the consumption during the day, and if the consumption ceased at night the flow Into the city would be only that due to leakage, whereas the flow 1s actually nearly unt- form day and night. Seago ‘The pressure in the mains throughout the city yarles from 3 to 30 pounds per square inch, rarcly falling below 6 pounds. Under this head the ordi- nary three-quarters-inch service pipe will dis- charge, If flowing freely, In the basement or lower Hoor about 10,000 gallons in 24 hours. Three thous- and such services could undoubtedly be made to discharge the whole 24 hours supply of 26,000,000 gallons. There are 20,475 services, supplying water for domestic purposes, besides the connections to 818 hydrants and to all public buildings, reserva- tions and fountains, It is easy to see that con- Unuous flow through a small proportion of these will account for the disappearance of water. It is probable that the waste is widely distributed. It isevident from the uniformity of flow into the elty that. tne consumption of water varies but little during the twenty-four hours, and the conclusion is inevitable that the ave method of taking the water is by letting it run. Of course, It runs to the lower levels and leaves the summits high and dry.” “These.” sald the Commissioner, “are the only official explanations given ‘as to the causes of scarcity. They may be understood by experts tn Cugineering, Dut to the public generally they may not so clear. For my art, I shall favor the adoption of such resolution y Congress as will satisfy the public as to the causes, also whether the best means have been used for a more even distribution of the Potomac water throughout the city.” 8. L. Phelps ve ‘Meeting with ex-Commissioner morning, ‘THE Srax reporter questioned him as whether It was true that the supply of water had been decreased since the erection of the stand- pipe. He replied emphatically “No. ‘This stand- pipe has been a great bugbear in the discussion of Unis water scarcity. ‘The stand-pipe was erected at the time when there was almost a total absence of water in the dwellings in the northwest section ot the city, the objects being to pump this water from the i2Inch main to fill the stand-plj uring the nizht time,when the consumption is feast, an to afford a supply in the morning hours to a very large class of eltizens on the heights. It has rposes admirably, but only intermit— served the pu 4 ia ntly. The supply is not at all what is need Dut it Is better th a At the water registrar’s office it 1s understood that very few complaints have reached there. There are quite frequent verbal complaints, but more are made in the collector’s office where the Water rents arereceived. The distribution is be- eved to be as perfect under the circumstances as It 19 possible to make it. At the office of the District collector, Mr. Cook states that one out of every five make complaint about being abliged to pay for what they do not receive, but in not many cases are these com- plaints very bitter. Some say “theyll be d—d if this won’t be the last-time they'll pay if the water don’t get more abundant.” Asa rule there are more paying for the half year than for the whole year. ———_<+o+—____ WASHINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE.
