Baron Arrigo’s Adventure in a Secret Cavern in the Apennines, The trial of the brigands who carried away Baron Arrigo from Naples some time ago is now proceeding at Trani, and the other day the baron recounted his adyen- tures before the court, says the New York Herald. The most interesting part is his stay in the mountain cavern. It was running with water, and he begged to be taken away, but his captors refused, and he was obliged to stand continually, the ground being so wet, and there being not even a stone to sit upon. At last, overcome by fatigue, he lay down and slept profoundly for four hours. At dawn he felt himself pulled by the legs. His keeper had awakened him, going away immediately afterward. Arrigo, as soon as | it was quite light, went toward the en- trance of the cavern, and not having eaten anything for forty-eight hours prayed a brigand who stood there to give him soine food. The man ordered him to be silent, saying that in the evening he should have what he wished. A week passed, and one day, on a Wednes- day, the baron was told he would be al- lowed to go next’ Saturday. That night he heard two of the brigands talking. One said the money had arrived, but it was very little, and the other replied: “Never mind, if only it has come.” When Saturday came Arrigo had taken no bread for two days, and said to his jaii- ers: “I have not eaten because this evening I am to go away.” The brigand replied that it would be bet- ter to eat, for he would not get away that night. Arrigo was attacked with strong fever, besides which he believed he would in the end die of famine, for the brigands had no money, and he himself no chang: He had managed to conceal a note of 1,000f., having given S00f. to George Bruno the first da: y. Another week passed, and when Wednes- day came again Arrigo asked to see Laz- zara, but was told that he had gone aw: with some others to divide the ranso: They were also going to “show themselves in the village. On the Saturday aftern20 the baron asked if he would be releas» and was answered in the affirmative. To- ward 4 o’clock his guardian came and took | away all the objects in the cavern, among} other things the cap and jacket of a car-) binegr. Then Arrigo was led out, and tried to determine the situation of the cavern in which he had so long been confined. When night fell the brigands led him down the} Mountain, and as soon as they reached the/ plain told him to go in front and they would follow him. Arrigo went on, but the brig- ands remained behind. When Arrigo finally reached the town of Termini he found his wife tn an almost | dying state and all his relations worn out} by anxiety. He was told that of the 120,«#f. ransom .000f. had gone to the priest| . Pamed Quattrocchi for “camorra,” and| 10,000f. to the priest’s brother Pasquale for the expenses of preparing his rele. ——__+e The Telephone in Honolulu. Honolulu Correspondence Boston Transcript.

Commodore Erben Not Assured Yet k—Will Not The Secretary of the Navy has disap- proved the application of Commodore Er- ben, commanding the European station, tor promotion to the grade of rear admiral on the retirement of Admiral Benham on the 10th proximo. Commodore Erben is number five in his grade, and he will re- tire in September next. He bases his claim for preference for promotion over those above him on the fact that he entered the service two years belore Commodore Ram- say, who stands No. 1, and because he was overslaughed by that officer in the reor- ganization of the navy just after the war. Commodore Fyffe, who stands No. 3, is senior to Erben both in rank and length of service. He wili retire in June next in his present grade unless the President should promote bim to one of the two vacancies in the higher grade which will occur next month by the retirement of Admirals Ben- ham and Irwin, Under ordinary circum- siances, these promotions will fail to Com- modores Kamsay and Skerrett, who are next in line of promotion. The appointment of these two orflicers would make Fyife, Sianton and Erben one, two and three, re- spectively, in the list of commodores, and make ihem eligible for promotion to the grade of admiral in the order named. Com- modores Fyife and Erben, in the ordinary course of events, will retire, however, be- tore any vacancies will occur in the higher grade by which they could possibly benetit. Admiral Gherardi, the ranking oificer in the havy, Who has still more than a year of ac- live service beture him, is interested in having his friend Commodore Erven reach the rank of admiral betore his retirement, and is willing to advance his own retire- ment under the forty years’ service law, if the Vacancy thereby creuted can be turned to the advantage of his friend. This re- sult wouid certainly be accomplished if another one of the six admurals joined Ad- miral Gherardi in his action, ‘ine matier Was suggested to them, but nv one was will- ing to make the fice involved, so the plan fell through. The same end may yet be accomplished with Commodore Stan- ton’s assistance. On the retirement of Commodore Fyife in June next, Commo- dore Stanton will be at the head of the list with Commodore Erben second. The vol- untary retirement of Admiral Gherardi carly in June would promote Commodore Fyfie, and his enforced retirement would promote Commodore Stanton, whereupon he, too, might voluntarily retire in the in- terest of Commodore Erven, and the latter would gratify his present ambition of re- uring with the highest rank possible in the navy. There are good reasons for the be- lief that this plan will be carried into exe- cuuion before the Ist of June, in order that Commodore Fyife may surely be included in its benefits. its favorable consideration by the powers that be may explain why Commodore Stanton is not to go to the South Atlantic station, as originally plan- ned, and why his relief by Commodore Meade of command of the North Atlantic Station has been postponed for a few monihs. In case he is to go on the retired list within a tew months, it wouid be alto- gether contrary to the practice of the ser- vice to send him to the command of a for- eign station. This affords a partial expla- of why Commodore Kirkland was led from the Pacific station and or- 4 instead to the command of the South Auantic in place of Commodore Stanton. The retirements and promotions in the above indicated will give impetus to promotions all along nd will be specially appreciated by the members of this year’s graduating class at the Naval Academy. Uniess some | extra neies are made in this way, the | graduates wiil tind themselves without com- | missions when they conclude their exami- | nations in June. There are thirty-eight members in this year’s class, of which num- ber five will be assigned to the engineer corps and three to the construction depart- mont, leaving thirty to be provided for in the iine and in the marine corps, in which | h ure at present only fifteen assured —— WANT HIM LNSEATED.

A Plea Made on Behalf of the Animals H That Suffer. “The public abuses of dumb animals are flagrant, but there is a greater and grow- ing evil—that damnable practice, privately carried on in the name of medical setenée, known as vivisection,” writes Charles H. Coe to The Star. “Vivisection is literally a dissection—cutting up—of a living animal with knife or other instruments. The term generally includes all experiméhts on Iiv- ing animals with drugs, ete. Thé object is that of demonstrating previously known facts, and increasing our knowledge cf medicine and operative surgery. In other words, to relieve our own pains at the cost of unutterable suffering to animals. “This is the object, but abundant testi- mory from the highest sources, and’ from | prominent vivisectionists themselves, has | repeatedly proven its worthlessaess!! Dr. Leflingwell says that ‘a careful study ef | Mortality statistics’ (in Jngiand) ‘shows that in no case has vivisection lesseaed the fatality of a single disease beyond what it was thirty-tive years axo.’ Dr. W. S. Halsted of New York had at ) article in the Internatioual Jowrnal of th | Medical Sciences, for October, 1387,in which he relates an ‘experimenial study’ on about jforty dogs, in ‘circular suture of the in- testines.” I will give, in brief, a°few sam- ples of his experiments, as tollows: “On January 15, 1887, the iniesiiaes of a small dog were operated upon. On the 23d of the month the dog was “found dead.’ On the same day another dog, of medium s:ze, Was fastened to the operating table, aad one month jater was killed. On Janu- ary 20 one ‘died of shock a few hours after operation.’ Another was ‘not lively atter operation,’ and was killed on the twelfth day following. Another died unaer a continuous operation, which lasted two hours, ine dogs suffered u"told agony, and most of them ai rom the effects of the opera- tions cr w killed when they appeared to be dying from starvation. Previous to summarizing the results of his ‘experi- meutal study,’ Dr. Hal:ted says (page 4): ‘I shall not record the rest of my cdl 2 pee most of them seem 0 er absurd to me, aud non admit of classification,’ ” Ss eae Not Insensible to Pain, “In a few cases of vivisection the animal operated upon is cleimed by some to be wholly insensible to pain through the use of anaesthetics. In regard to this, how- ever, an emisent physician stated in the London Spectator of May 29, 1875, that ‘complete and conscientious araesthesia is seldom even attempted, the animal getting at nest a slight whiff by way of satisfying the corscience of the operator or of ene- bling him to make statements of a humane character.’ The same physician says ufat when he was a sttdent his experiments ‘at vivisection (in his own private room) were failures, because in his anxiety to have the animal under complete control of an anaes- thetic he fouad that it bad died before his experiments could begin. He therefore con- cluded to see how experienced vivisertors managed. After having had, as he says; ‘ample opportunity of seeing * * * J am izclined to look upon anaesthetics as the greatest curse to vivesectible animals.” When an anaesthetic (usually chiero- form or ether) is en:ployed it is com given cnly during the preliminary process; an hour or two later, when the animal has partially recovered from the shock’ reseived, the wounds are reopened and the real ex~ periments begin. This subjects the animal to torture during the rest of the operation, which may last for hours, or even days. In thousands of operations anaesthetic cannot be used, because it would inverfere with the correctness of the res iting ex~ periment. Dr. Lefiingwell describes a cer- tain cxperiment as ‘one of the most ex- crutiating which can be performed, which consists in exposing the spinal cord of the deg for the purpose of demonstrating the function of thc spinal rerves.’ This exper- iment was performed by Majendie, an em- inent French physioicgist, before hisickass demorsirations, and befcre the intfeductiom- of ether. Dr. Latour was present.on one occasicn when Majerdie was operator and teacher, and thus cicses a reference to the subject: “The dog, mutilated and bleeding, twice escaped from under the impiacabie knife and threw its front paws around Majeacie’s heel, licking, as if to soften his murderer and ask for pity. I confess I was unable to endure that heartrending spec- tacle.’ Exposing the Spinal Cord. Dr. Austin Flint of New York says in his text book of physiology: ‘Majendie ** * showed very satisfactorily that the posterior roots (of the spinal cord) were exclusively sensory” (referring to the above), ‘an@ this fact has been confirmed by more recent ob- Servation upon the higher classes ef: ani mals, We have ourselves frequently @x- posed and irritated the roots of the nerves ete., ete, The commencement of the above experiment—the cutting opera- tion—is now performed with anaesthetics; the most powerful part of the work, how- ever, is resumed later on, after the effects I will now quote briefly from vork on Vivisection, written by an able veterinary | surgeon (Mr. Murdock) after he had visited a French laboratory. Mr. Murdock says: “Here lay six or seven horses fixed by every mechanftal device by the head and feet to pillars, while the students were per- forming different operations. The sight wae truly horrible! The operations begun early: in. the forenoon, it now being 3 o’cioek, ** * The studeats had begun their day’s work. im the least vital parts of the animals, The trunks were there, but they had jost their tails, hoofs, ears, etc. * * * One, animal ad a side of the head, including the eye id ear, completely dissected; and other students were laying open and cauterizing the hock of the same animal.” Another visitor to the same laboratorys fe ferring to the lack of pity in the stulemtaly “A little bay mare, worn out-in the: ice of man, one of eight, on a .centain | operation day, having unfortunately retain- ed life throughout the fiendish ordeal,-ana looking like nothing ever made by the hand of God—with loins ripped open, skim torn and ploughed by red-hot irons” (in an oper- ation known as firing), “riddied by seatotis, tendons severed, hoofless, sightless and de- fenseless, was exultingly reared” (another, witness says “amid laughter”), “on bleeding feet just when gasping for-breath and dying, to show what dexterity had done ae completing its work before death took place." The Practice in Amerten. “Thousands of American medical stunts whom the public employ later on have, wit- nessed ‘these or equally inhuman. expert ments. In the University of Pennsylvania alone !t is said on the best authority ‘that gressman, horses and other animals are often vivi- | sected without even a pretense of anacs- verlasting credit be it said—have opposed vivisection ever since its hideous secrets were first exposed to their eyes. Vivisec- tionists have been heard to say among themselves that ‘no true results can be reached without humen subjects.” Ouida Says: ‘That these rien do not immediately give themselves the greater luxury of hu- man victims is due only to their timidity before public opinion.’ A slight research among the scientific medical journals and elsewhere would enable me to fill the col- umns of this paper with experiments prac- \ticed on animais in our American medical | colleges and universities which for atrocious cruelties were not surpassed in the old days of the inquisition. But enough has been said to open the eyes of those who have nevi ‘made themselves familiar with the sub and, I hope, cause many to investigate fur-. ther. “Every person with a spark of humanity and pity for those creatures who cannot speak for themselves will rejoice at the re- cent movement of the Washington Humane Society to educate the public against t fiendish vice. Some may exclaim, thize with tortured and abused animals und hope the soclety will su in freeing them, but the subject Is Yoo. horritie to think about.’ All ought to become familiar with the matter, however, and with voice or pen help along the noble cause, for when | that time comes severe laws will be passed and such a feeling of indignation arise from the people against the vivisectionist and those who uphold his gavage work that the 1 Died at St. Elizabeth's. | “Hard Hearing Fool” is the name of an | Indian who @ied at St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane last Wednesday of chronic dementia.
