The Discovery of a Process af Artificial. Digestion WHAT THE WRITER SAW Express selves Freely Concerning It and Just What They Say is Made Public. Them- It fs not often that science makes a discovery that demands special investigation on the part of the newspapers. Once in a while it does, how- ever, such as occurred in New York recently. It has been stated positively that a process has been found whereby food, mixed with fruit acids, Decame digested before it had even entered the mouth. Certainly if this were true it. would mark an cra in the history of civilization, and the writer Was delegated to thoroughly investigate and re- Port upon the same. The first call was made at the office of the com- any which is now manufacturing the food in question, and I was permitted to inspect the pro- cess of manufacture. I found it exceedingly elab- orate and scientitle, and after inspecting it thor- oughly I was shown the way in which it actually worked. A piece of fresh meat was placed in an open dish and some of the pre-digested food mixed with it. Almost immediately there was a change In the color of the meat, next Its Sbers seemed to sepa- rate, and soon it became a liquid mass, the same as it does in the human stomach after being eaten, The effect, the change, the entire process, was most wonderful and speedy. “This, as you sce, 1s a demonstration of what can be dove," said the manager, “but we prefer that you ascertain just what this food accomplishes with the people who use it. Here ts a lst of names, and you are at liberty to see them, and as- certain just what thelr opinions may be.” Armed with this list the writer began a tour of investigation, with the following results: Sergeant Elias B. Dunn, chief of the Weather Bureau, was found in bis office, looking exceed- ingly well. In response to my inquiry he sald: “T have used the pre-digested food Paskola myself and in my family, and I must say that I found it Just what 1s claimed for it. In fact, I have been chanting the praises of it very steadily ever since I first began to use it. Why shouldn't I? Tt has built me up and made a new man of me. Xou see how fresh and rosy I am, and I intend to Keep so." Colonel John R. Fellows, the eloquent District Attorney of New York, in response to my question said: “If I am called upon to deliver an address or make ® speech upon which much depends, I first look out for my stomach. When that is healthy my brain fs clear, my thoughts are logi- cal, and it ts a comparatively eaxy matter to clothe them im proper language. When I am not feeling well I take Paskola, the pre-digested food, which sets the stomach right, clears the cobwebs from the brain and sets the machinery of thought and eloquence in motion. There is nothing like Paakola for such a purpose, and I believe it has won more eases bofore a jury than you would Imagine.’ Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel, the well-known lawyers, fully condrmed what I had already heard. Mr. Howe said: “Look at me! Feel how firm my arm ts! You can see I am in perfect health, and yet I was, ‘pot long ago, advised by my ductor to go away for my health. My present condition ts the result of the use of Paskola. It is a labor saving dis- covery—saves your stomach the labor of digesting food. ‘Try it as I did, and grow fat and jolly.” His partner, Mr. Hummel, said: “I have seen a number of people try Paskola whose stomachs were so weak that they could digest nothing else, but who were able to assimi- late this pre-digested food without the slightest difficulty. I have known an adult man wasted to & shadow by indigestion, who gained 40 pounds in three months by its use."* Wherever I went the reports were the same, ‘and I was forced to the inevitable conelusion that & great discovery had certanily been made for building up the system, tncreasing the strength and prolonging the life, without any drain or strain upon the digestive organs, which has been the great bane of our American life, Certainly the results of the research proves so. Any one who desires further information upon the subject should send for a free pamphlet to the Pre-Digested Food Co., 80 Reade St., New York. ‘Best Butter osts Little.

The resolution is as follows: Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives in Congress assembled: 1, That the United States of America con- gratulates the people of Hawalian Islands on their just and peaceable assumption of the powers, duties and responsibilities of self-government as indicated by their recent adoption of a republican form of govern- ment. . 2. That the repubile of Hawait ts entitled to exercise and enjoy international comity and the benefit of all rights, privileges and advantages under existing treaties that were concluded between the United States of America and the late kingdom of Hawail. 8. That the republic of Hawaii is hereby. recognized by the United States of America as a free, soverelgn and independent repub- lic, and the President of the United States shall give proper notice of the recognition to the president of the republic of Hawali. Mr. Geary’s Remarks. Mr. Geary of California, a democratic member of the committee, made a strong speech in favor of the resolution. “I have been a friend of the President,” he said, “when he had not a dozen friends in the House, and when some who now pose as his surporters were against him. I have followed him up to this point in his dealings with the Hawailan question, but I can follow him no further.”” He continued that the republic has been established in Hawall on a strong founda- tion, that it was undoubtedly a permanent government, and that its only weakness Was the report spread by its enemies that the United States, the nation to which Ha- waii looked for support, was unfriendly to the new regime. Congress shculd take ac- tion at once to put all doubts at rest. The uncertainty was disturbing business in the islands, and an expression by Congress would place affairs on a solid footing again. The presence of the royalist delegation in Washington would give the impression that the monarchists were negotiating with this government, and work injury to the new re- public. He advocated the adoption of the first and second clauses of the resolution, but thought if Congress for-nally recognized the republic it would be unnesessary to direct the President to do so. Not only the interests of Hawaii, but of the Pacitle states demanded action, he concluded. The speech is said to have made a decided impression. Legislative Tangle. The other democrats of the committee cp- Posed the resolution, and Mr. Everett of Massachusetts endeavored to delay matters by a motion to adjourn. It was lost by a tle vote of 6 to 6,°un@ it was also claimed that the motion was out of order, because it had been interjected while Mr. Van Voor- his was making a speech. The other side contended that as Mr..Van Voorhis had re- tained his seat while speaking, according to custom in commyitteg, he could not be sald to have the floor, and some feeling was stirred up by the incident, which elicited a ruling from the chair that the motion had been out of order.; Chairman McCreary contended that the resolution should be referred to a subcom- mittee for consideration, but Mr. Van Voor- his replied that belng;a counterpart of Mr. McCreary’s Brazilian. resolution, it could not be improved. Messrs. McCreary, Money, Everett and Hooker spoke for delay, that the President might be.given time to recog- nize Hawaii of his own motion, and Mr. McCreary recalled that President Harrison had extended reccgnition to Brasil before the former resolution could be passed. Finally, on motion of Mr. Blair (N.H.), the committee adjourned until Saturday, when the question will be decided. Although no vote was reached upon the resolution, the republicans think it will be reported with the final clause directing the President to recognize Hawaii omitted. ‘They are all willing to drop that. ————__- e-_____. CRUSHED BY ARCTIU ie Disaster Overinkes the Wellman Polar Expedition Vessel. News of the Wellman polar expedition has been received. It was brought by the sealer Malygen, Captain Pedersen, which arrived at Tromsoe, Norway, yesterday with news dispatches from the expedition, and also with Captain Bottolfsen and three sailors of the steamer Ragnvald Jarl, which carried the Wellman party to the arctic, but which has since been wrecked. All hands were saved, but some of the ex- pedition supplies were lost. Captain Bottolfsen furnishes the following narrative of the experiences of the expedition: After several battles with young and winter ice the Ragnvald Jarl arrived on May 12 at Table Island. The ice, however, compelled a return to Walden Island, where Mr. Wellman left the ship, on May 24, with thirteen men, forty dogs and 110 days’ pro- visions. After the party had established a depot they proceeded eastward a distance of sixty miles, thence northeast, hoping to reach the land that is believed to exist in that direction. Up to the day of the depar- ture of the sledge party the expedition had had good weather, the worst being only twenty degrees below sero. The members of the party were in good health when they left the ship, They intended.to return over the same route by which they advanced, reach northern Spitzbergen on September 15, and headquarters at Danes Island on October 1. The Vessel Lost. On May 28, four days after Wellman and his companions left, the Ragnvald Jarl was broken up by the ice and totally lost. The men in charge of her managed to save some of the stores. A message was sent to Weil- man, informing him of the catastrophe, and it reached him at Marten’s Island, Mr. Wellman, Charles C. Dodge and two others then returned to Walden Island. With ‘material taken from the wreck of the ship they built a good house to accommodate the crew, and as a precaution in case (he ex- pedition was compelied to winter at Walden. ‘Wellman left again, to,join the sledge party on May 31. He wrjteg-on the same date: “I have decided, roceed as oreviously planned, except that } intend to return to Walden Island not later than September 1, and to be at Danes Isjand by September 15."” The latest news, ived from Wellman was of June 17 dage, when Mr. Winship, a member of the party, with one man, left the expedition at @ spot six miles east of Cape Platen, wheyg the explorers had met with impassable ig¢, and were waiting for 0) water. All were,well. On the return of Winship to Wajden,Island, Captain Bot- tolfsen and three of the crew started on a journey southwand im aluminum ‘boats, seeking sealers. They met the Malygen, and Captain Pedersem consented to carry them to Tromsoe. :44gre Captain Bottolfsen will charter a new;vegpel and will return as soon as possible Danes Island. In the meantime the Wejlpan party has gone north over the ice. Captain Pedersen ex- pects that Wellman will reach Gillei Island. —— Terrible Fight With a Lunatic. The Dublin Freeman’s Journal describes a terrible encounter in the Boyle police sta- Uon between a lunatic named McHale and the police, In which serious injuries were inflicted on some of the latter. McHale is a man of powerful build, with wrists s0 stoutly formed that none of the handcuffs in the station would go on him. He was awaiting conveyance to a local asylum, and two policemen were watching him, when he suddenly became violent. He snatched up a firearm and aimed a series of blows at the men, but by closing h him they man- aged to take the weapon from him. He then secured a blackthorn stick and renew- ei the attck. One constable named Russell closed with McHale and threw him, but while on the ground the madman tore his antagonist’s shoulder, breast and arm in a terrible menner with his teeth. It was not until eleven men had seized McHale that he was rendered powerless and secured, Constable Russell was dreadfully injured and is In the hospital. McHale has since been transferred to Ballinasloe Lunatic Asylum, 8, 1894—TEN PAGES. LATE SPORTING NEWS ANOTHER DEFEAT. The Senators Were Taken in Yester- day by the Baltimores. Again the Washington and Baltimore base ball clubs met. It was yesterday and at Baltimore, and again the men under Mana- ger Schmelz have failed, the result being largely due to errors by Ward. Maul and Hawke did the pitching, and Clarke and Mc- Gutre acted as umpires in the absence of Hoagland. Washington scored one run in the second inning, but drew ciphers until the eighth, when four more were added, the feat being duplicated in the ninth. Cartwright sent w ball over the center field fence; Joyce likewise cleared the right field boundary nd Abbey and Selbach found no difficulty in solving the curves of Mr. Hawke.

Yesterday’s game resulted in a tie, and such wild scenes were probably never seen on @ ball field. With the score 8 to 1 against them, the New Yorks knocked Nichols out of the box in the fifth inning. After they had made seven runs and tied the score, Stivetts was substituted for Nichols. Ger- mran’s work in the second inning was so bad that Westervelt took his place, and he in turn was relieved by Rusie after the Giants had slaughtered Nichols. Long’s wonderful stop in the eighth in- ning saved Boston the game. The visitors came within one of tieing the score in the seventh, Bannon, who had been laid off for weak batting, coming to their rescue with a home run. Stivetts’ three-bagger and Emsilie's questionable decision allowed Bos- ton to take the lead in the eighth. The Giants tied the score in their half on Burke's home run. Boston took the lead again in the ninth on a base on balls, Lowe's hit and Duffy's long fly. Doyle hit for two bases in New York's half and came home on Van Haltren’s single, again tieing the score.

The record for that distance and three additional world’s records were broken yesterday at Waltham, Mass. by Harry C. Tyler of Springfield.

A large crowd atsembied at Suffolk, Va., yesterday, where a number of fine bicycle riders from Richmcnd, Washington, Balti- more, Norfolk and Portsmouth participated in the races arranged for the Virginia state meet. Most of the victories went to Wash- ingtonians. The races were won as follows: W. F. Sims of this city, the half-mile, one- mile, two-mile and three-mile races. Sims also broke the state record by making a ‘mile in 2.15. W. L. Eckert of Baltimore broke the sworld's record of half-mile run without handle bar in 1.16. W. H.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.—Peter Jack- son states that he expects to be in New York next week to meet Corbett, and if possible, effect arrangements for a mill. Claims to Be Jackson's Mother. RICHMOND, Ky., August 3.—Peggy Jack- son, residing here, claims to be the mother of Peter Jackson, the negro pugilist. She has for eighteen months been living with her ton David, employed by the Louisville and Nashville railroad. She is seventy years old and the mother of eleven children. All are gone or dead save James, residing at Hinton, W. Va.; Richard, located at Macon, Ga., and David, located here. The old lady thinks, from the pictures of the prize fighter, that he is her son. While liv- ing in eastern Virginia she had a son, Peter, jeave home when he was only sixteen years old. She said he went west, thence to Pitts- burg, Pa., thence to Engiand, and the last she heard of him he was in Australia. She says Peter exhibited pugilistic traits when small. Aunt Peggy's husband, Solomon, died ten years ago in eastern Virginia. He belonged to Chatman Sargent. The old woman has a Bible in which the birth of Peter is recorded, September 16, 1854. This corresponds with his reputed age. Jack- son's biographers claim he is an Australian, but he says he is a southern-born man. He has been seeking for his mother for years. She says Peter was born in eastern Vir- ginia. and Sam TAPPING RACK TRACK wines. Two Men Arrested in Chicago Who Were Caught in the Act. CHICAGO, August 3.—W. K. Metcalf and W. H. McNutt, wire tappers and swindlers, were landed in the county jail on charges of forgery end obtaining money under false pretenses. The men defrauded two Clark street ticket brokers out of $1,700 by interesting them in an extensive scheme to tap the Western Union wires and loot down- town pool rooms by delaying telegraphic communications from the race tracks and betting on the information. Detective Krick was introduced to the sharpers as @ wealthy and unsophisticated youth from Colorado with money to burn, and the schemers readily interested the officer in their proposed robbery. A room was rent- ed, which was to be the headquarters of the wire manipulators. The Western Union officials were on the alert for McNutt, hav- ing been warned from New York to watch for him. Accordingly the men found it advisable to remove their quarters to a hotel on Van Buren street near Plymouth place. mony < compltte ae ot the most modern and improved t ph parapher- nelia was introduced and the ticket brokers and the supposed sucker from Colorado lined up to be “skinned.” The next move was to employ an electrician named Mof- fett, who, together with McNutt, was to tap the wires and make the necessary con- nections. Yesterday afternoon while the wire tap- pers were getting in their fine work on the hotel roof six detectives swooped down on them and caught them red handed in the act of clipping wires.
