THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. APRIL'S NEED OF SLEEP, Business Men, Over-Tired Housekeep- ers, Teachers, Students and Men and Women in the Whirl of Society Lack Rest. Sweet sleep is rature’s soft nurse. Half the fretfulness, sickness and complaining might be Iai at the door of lack of sleep. There is not ome man or woman in ten thou- and who can afford to do without seven or eight hours’ sleep. All the stories about great men and Women who slept three or four hours a aight make very interesting reading, but no one ever Kept healthy im body and mind with less than seven hours” scund sleep. Americans need more sleep than they are get- ‘Wing. This lack makes them thin and nervous, weak and complaining. But one cannot will one’s self to self. If sleep ‘will not come, there is an evident derangement of the nervous system. The tired, worn-out nerves meed better nutrition to restore them to thelr healthy action.

Some of the Small Fry Players Cap- tured and Held—One Had a Cipher. The policy shops at Roslyn seem to be flourishing just now, ard the policy play- ers erd runners are fast wearing out the flooring of the foctwalk on the bridge. While this is being dore Policeman Brad- ley and Bridge Watchman Lucas are mak- ing notes of the frequency of the visits to the place that promises to become as law- less a place as Jackson City, or “Monte Carlo,” as it 1s called, and yesterday sev- eral arrests were made. Knowing the men to be on duty at the bridge, the policy play- ers and runters are always on the alert, and erch one has a ready excuse when the officers arrest them. “My mistress sent me over in the county to get some grass for the chickens,” was th excuse of a colcred woman, while many of them are going over to see sick lodge members. And the nimber of colored per- sons who have sick friends and relatives over there is astonishing. “But,” says Officer Bradley, “these ex- cuses are played out." And they avail the | Policy promoters nothing. , Then, too, these people do not always but hide them in their hats or beneath the linings of their coats. | When the officer sees a man going over the bridge frequently, and does not know whether he has legitimate business on the other side of the river or not, he follows him over to make certain the nature of his visits. Four arrests were made on the bridge yesterday, and the defendants were ar- raigned in the Police Court this morning. | Alvin C. Bell, a sixteen-year-old colored | boy, was the first prisoner called. He had been seen going over the bridge day after day, and when arrested he had 10 cents in his pocket. His statement was that he had been sent over the river by his mother to cut her some clothes props, and not to play policy, but when Judge Kimball questioned him he admitted that he had been over there to play policy. “My mother sent me over to put in a piece,” he said. “The first time I went over Was to cut a clothes prop and then I was sent to put in a plece.”” “What were you going over there for yes- terday?” the court asked. “To get a clothes prop and play running row and hat row,” was the response. “It's an outrageous thing for a mother to send her child over the river to play policy,” remarked the court, “and if this boy’s mother is in court she had better take warning or she will get in trouble hersel The judge said that because of the boy's frankness he was going to make the sen. tence a light one, and gave him five days in default of bond. A Sick Friend. Isaac Gardner, a colored man, who says he makes fires at the houses of Representative Washington, Mrs. Reynolds and others, was next heard. Like the previous case, the de- fendant was charged under the vagrancy act with being a suspicious person. “He had 70 cents in his pockets,” said Of- ficer Bradley, “and just before I arrested him he took something from his hat and threw it in the river.” The officer had seen him go over the river a number of times and other officers knew of his reputation as a policy man. “I've seen him visiting pig's feet shops and lunch rooms in alleys,” said Officer O'Brien. “I went over there,” said Gardner, “to see a sick friend, and yesterday I was go- ing to see him again. I owed nim $1 and was going to give him the seventy cents.” “What's his name?” “The same old John,” the court remarked. “He told me about the sick friend,” said Officer Bradley, “but that excuse is played out.” The prisoner denied that he had ever vio- lated the policy law and said he had never visited the shops in Virginia. Counsel argued the case at length, and the court decided against him. The defendant was required to give bond in the sum of $100 or go down for sixty days. Had a Cipher. Another colored man named George W. Dyer was tried. “He was very indignant when placed under arrest,” said the officer, “and told me to search him. He had no policy pa- pers in his pockets, but I found them pin- ned under the lapel of his coat, and he also had on him papers which contained what looked like policy in cipher.” “What time does he generally go over the bridge?” “In the morning, and sometimes he waits all day for the evening drawings.” The prisoner admitted that he had played policy and said he had written numbers he intended to play yesterday. “How much were you going to play?" ‘One dollar and fifty-five cent: Vhere did you get your money?” ‘My wife sent me $13 Saturday.” ‘How much of it did you blow in?” “Didn't blow in much.” Judge Kimball then referred to the policy written in cipher, and Gardner said that that was only his expense account and had no wait cee =o Policy. “What does . on the r mean?” he was asked. ao read."* ‘And the 20?” “Bread, 20 cents.” “Here is C.

Robert Harrison was the fourth member of the quartet charged. Policy of various descriptions was found on him, and he was charged with a violation of the policy law. Counsel demanded a jury triai, and the case went over. —. MEANING OF CLAUSE 7. Sir Charles R 1's Statement Re- garding the Bering Sea Bill. Ballard Smith cables to the New York World from London an interview with Sir Charles Russell on the meaning of clause seven of the British Bering sea bill, which has been so generally discussed in country. He dictated with great care the following statement: “There seems to be some misapprehen- sion in America as to the meaning of clause seven. In the first place they scem to think that the commander of a cruiser is made the judge of whether a ship has had notice or not so that clause would in- terfere with the seizure and ordering it to pert. That is not so. The question would be one for the court after the ship had been seized and sent to a port. “Next, they seem to think that it would leave a ship free to carry on pelagic seal- ing in the area covered by the award. That is not so, because even if she had no notice before she sailed her detention would give her notice that she was violating the law, and if thereafter she pursued pelagic seal- ing she would be liable to the penalties of the law. “The belief of those who are responsible for the clause is that there is a very small number, if any, of vessels which nave not had notice of the provisions of the award. If there are any, which in good faith sail in ignorance and in bona fide belief that they were not violating any law, it would) be hard to bring them within a highly penal enactment; but this immunity at the / Most could only extend to any seals that | they caught before notice had been given of what the law actually was. oo Ex-Commissioner Schoonmaker Dead. Augustin Schoonmaker died last night at Kingston, N. Y., from tonsilitis after en , illness of three days. He was born at Rochester on March 2, 1828, and had a common school education. From 1864 to 1872 Mr. Schoonmaker was county judge of Ulster county, and from 1876 to 187 was a member of the state senate. Ii state attorney general from 1878 to 1879, and served as civil service commissioner from 1883 to 1887. In 1887 Mr. Schooninaker was appointed interstate commerce com- missioner and served three years He was this | DREAM FACES. It was not by any means the usually cheerful Dora. Her eyes had a far-away look in them and she told the young man that she was thinking of dying. Going away to some nice, secluded spot and com- fortably dying in a happy, weepy way. She said there was nothing the matter with her, but she felt positively assured that what she most desired was death. No, she was quite certain that candy or flowers or going to the theater would not serve at all as a sub- stitute. Then it was that the young man became impertinent and said if she was de- termined he had a friend he desired to recommend, who was in the undertaking business, and that at any rate he himself would come around and drop a few blossoms on her cold form. Immediately the storm broke and the fact of the dream came out. “I have firmly decided,” said Dora, “that I will have no men, and especially no young men, at my funeral. It shall be my last wish that young men be barred.” Dora’s reasons for this rank injustice were clear and logical. The night before she had experienced a dream. Dreams were not unaccustomed visitors to Dora’s sleeping brain, but they were usually mixed up with church choirs, waltz music and other light and airy affairs. This dream, however, was different. Dora dreamt she was dead. Very dead. In fact, so dead that 11 o’clock of a Sunday came and she never thought of going to church. Dora found it was rather pleasant to be dead. Her body lay in calm repose, while her spirit seemed hovering near by. By this Dora gained the idea that she had not gone straight to heaven,and the thought troubled her, until she decided that she probably eculd not go to heaven until after the funeral. In the meantime the experience was not bad by any means. Sometimes her spirit would hover down and take a lcok at its old tenement, and a very beau- tful tenement it was, and then away up in the air, above the smoke, above the dirt, straight into the blue sky, where the sun- beams played fantastic tricks with the tops of the cloud banks, and as she floated on in dreamy enjoyment she seemed sur- reunded and accompanied by soft, gentle music, that almost died away, and arose again, as summer breezes come and g0 amid the wavings of a young girl’s hair. But then came the funeral. Dora return- ed for that, and even in her dream she re- alized that she had made the mistake of her life, or rather of her death. Most of her friends were at the funeral and all of her enemies. The choir was there, and eleven young men to whom she had prom- ised to be a sister. They all gazed on her as she lay in state, and many, many times Dora wanted to scream. She firmly refuses to relate all that was said by the mourn- ing "nultitude, but enough can be gathered to infer that the young men were the hard- est to listen to without an outbreak. Ore of them, for instance, remarked pityingly, “My, but wouldn’t she raise Ned, if she could see the way they've fixed her hair;” and another, “Yes, you are quite right, she was a fearful flirt.” Dora made a vigorous effort to cry out at this Jast remark, but it was of no use, and she was oblised to hear another youth say, “Now, there you are, old man, I always said she was not pretty, and now you can see for yourself.” As has been said, Vora sull thinks at times that it would be a good thing to die, but until she can be absolutely certain that no young men will be permitted at the funeral she intends to struggle along with this world. There was an air of gloom at the Press- the-Button Club last night. Members walked around in a sad way and shook hands with each other as if parting for long periods. It was all occasioned by Colonel Al. having a dream. Whenever Colonel Al, dreams he does it clear to the limit, and the present one rather went over the limit. The colonel’s dream was all owing to a conversation with the pro- fessor. The professor had taken Colonel Al. into his confidence something after this manner: “Now, zis pokair game upstairs. I like much to play ze game—ah, yes, I much enjoy it. But Carrambo! I no understand. I play ze game of pokair wiz ze gentle- mens, and. by gar I lose my moneys. I say, ‘Ah! it matters not anzthing, gentle- mens all, I will give you ze moneys tomor- row.’ The gentlemens say, ‘ver wel Then when ze morrow come I come me down wiz ze moneys. Each man the game remembers well and ze amount I owes him, end I pays. Zat es well, but, Carrambo, I plays me pokair once more, and ze fortune favor me and I win. Ze gentlemens say to me, ‘Professor, tomorrow we will pay,’ and I say, ‘Ver well.” Ze next day I comes me to ze club and I am amazed, no man would seem to rembair ze game. I talk to zem, but they no say nozzin of ze moneys. One week have passed, and I not understand zat these gentlemens seem just the same as before, but say nozzin of ze pokair game. Carrambo, but it es different in my coun- try. A gentlemans zare, he pay his debt of honor within twenty-four hour or he com- mit ze grave suicide.” It was the last sentence in the professor's lament that caused Col. Al’s dream. And to any true lover of the Press-the-Button Club the dream was calculated to sadden the spirit and weigh down the soul. In his dream the colonel entered and walked through the club house. Many familiar faces were missing, but around the green baize-covered table on the upper floor were found some of his old friends. He was greeted with mournful nods and in silence a stack of chips was pushed over to him. The professor was there with his beard fresh trimmed, and a steely glitter in his eyes. The game went on in a silence that could be cut with a knife. Meantime Col. Al. noticed that a remarkably large “kitty” was being taken out, and after 85 cents had been given to the feline from a two- dollar jack pot, which he had won, Col. Al. remonstrated vigorously. He was looked at by the players with about the same pained surprise as if he had struck his grand- mother. Col. Bill finally broke the silence. “I am amazed,” he said, “at such utter dis- regard for common decency. Heartlessness such as this would make a Texas mug- wump blush with shame. Young man, do you realize what that ‘kitty’ is for?” Then in his dream Col. Al. repliey ‘No, I don’t realize what that ‘kitty’s’ for, and, what's more, I don’t give a continental d—— what it’s for, but I do say that it’s a double dis- tilled shame to take half of my jack pot to buy drinks or anything else for this gang.” The affair began to look grave, and the severity on Col. Bill's face was appalling. “Cease! Cease!” he cried. “Be done with this unseemly talk, or by the holy, blue, sul- phurous smoke that hangs over Monte Carlo, when your time comes there will be no tears, no flowers. “Remember that you are already tnree dol- lars and sixty-five cents out in this game. Know ye not, beld man, that this ‘kitty’ is fed for the purchase of flowers to strew on the graves of Press-the-Buttonsuicides who are unable to pay their gambling debts within twenty-four hours. The ‘kitty’ fs already eleven dollars in debt. and must be succored, for our dear friend Charlie there is $9.50 in the hole, and I fancy me that before many hours have passed we will be called upon to buy a few bunches of sweet violets.” Then it seemed that the entire party wept, and Col. Al. awoke. The recital of the dream was the cause of the sorrow and sadness at the club. ee GIVEN A BANQUET. Messrs. Joy and Hilborn, Recently Un- sented by the House. Representative Bartholdt of St. Louls presided over a banquet given last night at the Congressional Hotel by a number of members of the House to Mr. Charles F. Joy of the eleventh district of Missouri, and Mr. Samuel G. Hilborn of the third district of California, who were recently unseated. Representative Lacey of Iowa said the unfortunate manne> in which his col- leagues were unseated would make val- uable campaign matter against the demo- crats in the coming elections. Mr. Joy announced that he would meet all his friends in the near future as a member of the next Congress. He read the following telegram from the congres- sional committee of his district in St. Louis: “Receive you home under protest, but you might as well tell your friends that we shall send you back until the: keep you.” This was received with great pleasure. Ex-Representative Hilborn was glad of the reception tendered him by his col- leagues in the House, and trusted he would ever merit the esteem in which they held him. While he had received no telegram from his constituents, he was confident that the democratic party would be re- buked by the republicans of his district by his return to the next Congress. Speeches were also made by Representa- tives Waugh of Indiana, Hicks and Wan- ger of Pennsylvania, Haugen of Wiscon- sin, Ray of New York, Curtis of Kansas, Shaw of Wisconsin, Hainer of Nebraska, and a number of others, expressing their regret at the departure of their col- leagues. o——__—_—___.

The President has approved the joint res- for thirty years a leading democratic poli- olution for the printing of the Agricultural ucian, Report for 1 PREPARE YOUR FLIES This Promises to Be a Great Year for Anglers. Big Results Expected From the Fish Protection Law—An Early Open- ing of the Season, It is now against the law to take from the waters of the Potomac river within the District of Columbia fish of any kind by the employment of fyke-net, pound-net, stake- net, weir, float-net, gill-net, or haul-seine, and the offense is punishable by a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $100 and a forfeiture of boats and all appliances used in violating the law. While such means cf catching fish are not lawful, the act recog- izes angling or fishing with outline as lawful, and also makes provision for tak- ing from the river fish for scientific pur- poses, or purposes of propagatioa, as Con- gress intended that the law should in no manner interfere with the work of the fish commission or of the sport of angling. The approval of the act by the President was hailed with delight by lovers of pis- catorial sport as well as the owners of the large seines that are operated down the river by those who supply marine products to the dealers in the markets. The river between Alexandria and the Chain bridge has always been recognized by fishermen as the spawning grounds of old law is intended to prevent a wholesale slaughter of the shad and herring, as well as of other fish during the spawning sea- son, As to Jurisdiction. As printed in The Star a few days ago, the only objection to the law was made by a few persons who operate nets in the limits. Under the law, the question of jurisdiction is an important one, and al- ready Harbormaster Sutton has been ques- tioned about its enforcement. The particu- lar question is to the coves and small tributaries of the river. Under the Jaw it has generally been held that the District has control of the river to the high water mark on the Virginia side of the river, and it is also held that this means from head- land to headland. The inlet at Four-mile run and then a short distance below at what is known as Dangerfield’s cove are ces upon which the friends of the meas- ure are anxious to prevent net fishing, as well as the cove near Shepherds, at which places so many bass are reported to have been caught during the past few weeks. Most of the bass taken from these places have been of small size and have brought but small prices in the market. On the sand and gravel bottom near SI herds a large number of them have been caught, so it is reported, while the same state of af- airs has existed at Four-mile run. At a single haul one day last week nine Lunches of small bass were caught. The fishermen operating the small seines evidently anticipated the approval of the bill by the President, and removed their nets and traps within the headland lines the day before theapproval of the measure was announced. Good Prospects. A bass fisherman, speaking to a Star re- porter, said he thought a strict enforcement of the law would make a great improve- ment in the line of bass fishing about this city, and he thought there would soon be some good sport for the anglers. According to statements of the lovers of this sport, this season promises to be a good one. Already the catch of fish down the river shows good results, rock fish or striped bass being more plentiful than they have been for some years. ‘These fish afford fine sport in the vicinity of the Little Falls, as well as in other parts of the river within the District later in the season. At Four-mile run yellow perch and other small fish are now being caught with rod and line, and several large bass have been seen to jump in the water about where anglers were enjoying their early fishing trips. Pohick creek, which empties into the river just below Mount Vernon, has been furnishing some fine early fish, and most of the large bass caught in nets have been taken from the water at that place. Bach year this creek furnishes a number of fine specimens of this fish, and this year the catch has been better <han usual. On Tuesday Capt. Slake of the steamer Macaiester brought from Pohick eek a fine rainbow trout. The ‘ish, which is said to be the first of its kind caught in the lower Potomac, measured ten inches in length, and was said to be a une specimen of that choice variety of tish. While many angiers find sport in the lower Potomac and its tributaries most of those who enjoy biack bass fishing are turning their attention to the waters of the upper Potomac. Early Sport. The condition of the water has greatly improved during the past few days and should there be no rain or other untavor- able conditions many anglers will cast their lines on Sunday. Arrangements are already being made for live bait, and the anglers are getting their tackle in readi- ness in anticipation of good sport for so early in the season. Last fall the fish commission furnished @ number of bass for the Potomac river. At Woodmont several hunired of them were put in the river, while the «ame was done at the Anglers’ Club house this side of Great Falis, as well as at Sycamore is- land. Members of the Anglers’ Club an- ticipate good returns this spring from the fish they put in the water last fa! The bass put in the river at that point were of what is known as the big mouth variety, and considering the favorable condition of the weather this winter it is thought that they will weigh in the neighborhood of two pounds each. All the winter fish have been taken from pools in the canal left there by drawing off the water, and it is reported that some of the carp weighed nore than twenty pounds, Some good size pike, as weil as catfish, were also caught. In Broadwater, which is only a short dis- tance beyond the Anglers’ Ciub house, sone fine pike have been caught with hoox and line recently, and some croppies or ple- eyes have also been captured. These latter fish were put in there last year by n- bers of the club. They resemble a whit perch and are said to be almost as game 2s black bass. Between Cabin John bridge and Seneca this winter it is estimated that fully 1,000 bass have been caught in ihe ponds in the canal, ——_— ALL CLAIMS NOT SETTLE The United States and Chilean Com- mission Passes Out of Existence. The United States and Chilean , claims last evening. Upon adjourning the ecm- mission Mr. Alfred de Claparede, president of the body, made the following address: “We have arrived at the point estab- lished by article VIII of the convtntion of Santiago for bringing the work of our commission to a close without having succeeded in obtaining the extension of its life which we felt it was necessary to request on the day of our first meeting for business. We (and I now speak for myself) regret to be obliged to state that what we then anticipated and expressed to the two conracting governments has been realized due season, and upon a part of which we ave already pronounced judgment on de- murrer, and others, will remain unsettled. We regret it greatly, not only for the claimants, but for the two contracting governments, whose intention was to set- tle finally and amicably all the claims ex- isting between the citizens of either party and the government of the other. “We express here the hope that the two contracting governments will, by a future understanding, afford the claimants whose claims have not been settled an opportunity to obtain judgment thereon in harmony | with the generous and peaceful intentions which animated the framing of the con- vention of Santiago. “In expressing this wish, and also the hope that our work has contributed to the cementing of the good relations that both contracting governments are glad to main- tain, I declare closed the sessions of wur commission in conformity with the pro- visions of article VIII of the convention of Santiago, and J take great pleasure, in the name of the members of the commission, in expressing to the honorable agents cf the contracting governments, as well as to the secretaries of this commission, our sincerest thanks for the distinguished man- ner, the courtesy, the intelligent zeal and the great tact with which they have per- formed their difficult functions.

Perry of Illinois at Willard’s. Mr. Perry is a large breeder of milch cows in Illinois. “Butter- ine and oleomargarine are remarkable manufactures to me. I don’t know of any articles which so closely resemble the natural products they are intended to sim- ulate. How can the difference be dis- tinguished? Not at all by the sense of taste or smell. The melting test is the best. Pure fresh butter when melted is perfectly clear or at least only slightly cloudy. It is usually dark yellow and has the familiar odor of pure butter fat. Pure state butter is very cloudy and sometimes even opaque when melted; it is also of a dark yellow color and has the odor of rancid butter butter. Melted butterine or oleomargarine, on the other hand, is al- ways opaque when melted; its color is light yellow, and it has an indescriable char- acteristic smell that no one can mistake who makes both tests.

Henry Commerway, who is well known on the southern border as a mail contractor, and who is making a hurried trip to Wash- ington. He is stopping at the Riggs House. “Some men down there pick up a living catching the animals,” he continued, “and selling them to teamsters or cattle outfits. Their mode of operation is very simple. When a bunch of horses is sighted one of the party of horse hunters, of whom four or five always go together, starts out after them, and keeps close enough # them to keep them constantly moving. When the horses see him they dash off at full speed, but seldom continue in a straight line, as they usually make great turns or circles, and the hunter, by riding at angles, don't cover a tenth of the distance. At the end of two or three hours the first driver, as he is called, is relieved by another, and ;this is kept up hour after hour, the wild borses always having a fresh and tireless pursuer on their trail. As the drives are made during the full of the moon, the hunted horses have no rest night or day, and at the end of forty-eight or fifty hours they are so completely played out t their capture by the rope is a very easy matter, although in many instances when the herd begins to tire out it is driven to- ward a coral, already prepared, and forced into it.” “The manufacturers and employers of the north and east are adopting a new system to prevent them being confronted suddenly with a strike of their workmen,” said Albert Marshall of Providence at La Normandie last night. “They have pretty nearly all discovered that the beginning of discontent among their employes may be traced to the engagement of strangers, who are plausible fellows and who begin to scatter seeds of discord among the men as soon as they go to work. A general exchange of experience among big employers, who treat their help well and who have yet been surprised by sudden strikes, led to this discovery. Con- sequently every new workman who is em- ployed in any one of a dozen big faczorles I know of is secretly watched by ‘rusty men under direction of the heads of the concerns. If it is found that he fs preach- ing to the men about the grinding heels of capital on the prostrate form of labor and all that sort of stu and stirring up the men to a belief that their employers are their worst enemies, he is informed that his work is not up to the required standard and given a discharge. He may be the best workman in the world, but it makes no difference. Of course, he cannot appeal from the de- cision of the boss. His discharge absolutely annihilates his influence over the men. He may rave and rant and harangue them all he wants to, but it is a singular fact that his former workmen lose all interest in him. They want no more to do with a man whom the bosses have decided are inferior to themselves, In this way half a dozen threat- ened strikes have been averted to my cer- tain knowledge. Indeed, a rigid investiga- tion of the cause of strikes in this country would develop, I believe, that 90 per cent of them have been caused by nothing else but the presence in factories and workshops of social fanatics who make their companions believe that they are being wrongfully treat- ed by the men who are réally the best friends they have in the world. I knew a strike that cost a hundred thousand dollars to the laboring men brought about in Phil- adelphia by the refusal of the employer to discharge a man who had failed to pay his dues to a labor union to which he belonged and refused to pay them when threatened.” “One doesn’t see nowadays as many ycung Englishmen of the better class com- ing over to America to seek their fortunes as the case was ten or a dozen years ago,” said William S. Stone at the Shoreham this morning. “I can remember when al- most every steamer landing at New York brought from two to twenty younger sons of titled men or wealthy tradesmen, who had been equipped with a thousand pounds or so apiece and given the opportunity to try to increase it in the states. Many of them spent their substance in New York and had a glorious time with new-found friends, who bled them in short order and then dropped them. The majority, how- ever, went south and west, but in nine cases out of ten made failures of the endeavors to increase and multiply the money they brought with them. Scores of them went back home, but lots of them had the real stuff in them, and when they went broke threw their pride to the winds and secured employment anywhere and at anything they could. I heard a good story about two of them who came over together. They went south to Virginia and made a losing in their cattle raising venture in Albemarle, near Charlottesville. Then they drifted apart. One day the elder of the two went into a cheap restaurant in New York, having managed to get back there, where he intended to write home for per- mission to do the prodigal act. He had just 15 cents, and a sign on the outside an- nounced that for that sum square meal could be gotten inside.

Many unprogressive physicians and people still believe ruptures incurable, except by operations, and thus they cling to the deadly truss and reco! mend it as the only means of relief for the rup- tured. These unphilosophical physicians and citizens have rot investigated the new method for curing hernia, and thus they kuow nothing whatever of its principles, and as a coasequence thelr opinions have no value, and yet they assume the responsibil- ity of advising their neighbors that ruptures are in- curable, and thus frequently prevent persons who permit ‘others to do their thinking for them from seeking a means of cure. It is such ignorant people as these who clog the wheels of human progress and make it difficult for new and valuable ideas to prevail.

The Seattle Telegraph uses type- setting machines of the linotype pattern, and one of its printers is said to be the most rapid operator on them in the world.

Pneumonia Ri the Average Up the Past Week. A review of the effects of disease in the city during last week shows a material in- crease in the death rate. This is owing | mainly to the prevalence of pneumonia and cognate maladies. The presence of the epidemic catarrh is also shown in five deaths therefrom, and remotely parallel with these six fatal cases of kidney dis- eases, most of which were parenchymatous, that is, affecting the substance of those organs. The mortality of infants under five years of age came fully up to, if not somewhat beyond, the average. The prin- cipal causes among these children were weakness from birth, premature birth and mal-nutrition. Summer complaints have not as yet made their appearance manifest. Twelve new cases of scarlet rash were reported, with one death, and but three cases of diphtheria, with two deaths therefrom. The cases of scarlet fever were scattered through all sections of the city, and six of them were in three families. The medical sanitary inspector is doing all in his power to completely stamp out diphtheria from the city, with fair hopes of succes With the exceptions noted the health of the city is excellent. The detailed report shows: Number of deaths, 139; white, 72; colored, 67. Death 000 per annum, white, 19.2; col- Total population, 25.3; 56 were under five years of age, 39 were under one year old and 28 over sixty years; 24 of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutior The deaths by classes were as follows: <ymotic, 21; constitution- al, 22; local, 74; developmental, 16; vio- lence, 6. The principal causes of death were: Diphtheria, 3; consumption, 11; diar- rhceal, 2; erysipelas, 1; typhoid’ fever, malarial, 3; scarlet fever, 1; pneumonia, 24; congestion of the lungs, 4; bronchitis, ; whooping cough, 1; kidney diseases, 6 meningitis, 5; cancers, 2. Births reported 20 white males, 24 white females, 21 colore males and 10 colored females. Marriages reported: 20 white, 7 colored. Still-births reported: 5 white, 4 colored. — Another Comet Discovered.
