NATURES DANGER SIGNALS. commenting the death of Frink Hatton, the well-known journal- Ist, seid: “So frequent have become these cases of pros- tration of men engaged im business or other en- terprises requiring the active use of the brain through long hours and continuously that extinc- tion by paralysis, sometimes accompanied by soften- ing of the brain, is beginning to be considered a ‘natural death’ for certain classes of working Americans. The end is frequently predicted for such some time in advance of its arrival. Each case, where the sufferer is a prominent person known to a wide circle or to the country, is made the occasion of a warning on the part of the press against the American passion for overwork and the need of more leisure and relaxation in American life, but so far no visible result has come from these warnings."” When people begin to understand and heed the warnings of nature, then, and not till then, will the number of fatalities from this cause diminish, ‘The death Mow of paralysis is sudden, but the ap- proach of the disease is gradual enough to enable the posted man to avold it, even after it has be- gun to creep upon him. It is only necessary to recognize the symptoms. Paralysis is distinctively @ nervous disease. It has its origingin a disturb- ance of the nervous system, of which the brain and spinal cord are the great central station. This disturbance usually manifests itself in various ways, so that the Individual, if he does not fail utterly to recognize the signs, may have ample time to fortify himself against paralysis and in- pumerable other diseases arising from the same source. ‘The sufferer from an impaired nervous system docs not always betray his condition in his out- ward appearance. He may appear to be in reason- ably good health, and yet feel a general sense of weakness, languor, dullness and exhaustion, with lack of ambition and energy, disinclination for physical or mental exercise, mental depression and wakefulness. These are among the’ earlter symp- toms. They are too often unhecded or misunder- stood. It ty important that they should be recog- nized as danger signals and that the sufferer should promptly seek a cure. His nervous system needs building np, and that immediately. He cannot af- ford to delay, for he is subject at any moment to an attack that may place him beyond humay ald. If you are su(‘ering from lack of nervous force (which may be caused by overwork, long hours of stedy, business cares, deep grief, irregular habits, sexual excesses, ete.), don't waste time with the slow-going doctors, who persist in diagnosing your case as biliousness, cold or catarrb. Go at once to Dr. RK. A. Walker, 1411 Pennsylvania avenue, ad- joining Willard’s Hotel, and tell him your trouble. He has made a life study of discases of the brain and nervous system, and will not only save you from threatened attacks of paralysis and other dis- will restore you to permanent health, nd mentally.

He Stands With Grover Cleveland on Tai Reform—Discanr! New Tariff Law. Senator Voorhees opened the democratic campaign at Terre Heute, Ind., Saturday night. Ex-Deputy Commissioner of Pen- sions McLean presided, and in a brief speech alluded to the renlor Indiana Senator's career in Congress. The Senator's speech, which required two hours in delivery, was read from manu- script, the first time he ever addressed his home people except extemporaneously. The Senator was in good voice in spite of his recent severe sickness, and while the speech lacked the fire which has heretofore marked his public utterances, it was, nevertheless, freely applauded. Senator Voorhees is bill- ed for twenty-five speeches in Indiana dur- ing the campaign. Upon the tariff he said: “It is well known that I would have gone farther on some important points than we went in the bill in the Senate, and that I struggled hard to do so. I stand with Grover Cleveland on tariff reform, and with him I believe in the curative processes of future legislation. Ab- solute perfection does not belong to any work of human brains or human hands, and certainly was never achieved in man’s first effort on any disputed subject. But iet us see what has actually been done in the interest of taxpaying people. The average ad valorem rate of duty under the Mc- Kinley bill was 49.58; the average rate pro- posed by the Mills bill, indorsed by the ra- tional democratic convention only six years ago at St. Louis, was 42.78; the average rate of the Morrison bill, other democrat- ic measure, was 41.65, while the average rate of duty under the new law, as it now stands, may be stated at 37 per cent ad valorem. What have republicans to say of this comparison with their odious law of four years ago,‘ and what have democrats also to say when they see that the present democratic Congress, in spite of differences within and incessant assault from without, has made a heavier average reduction in tariff duties than was ever before even | Tro- posed in American history?” The Question of Free Wool. Senator Voorhees was particularly strong on the question of free wool. He said: “Twenty-seven years ago the wool grow- ers and the manufacturers of wool through- out the United States formed a sort of mu- tual benefit association aad secured the pas- sage of the act of 1867 putting an all-round, iron-clad, high protective tatiff! on wool. The mutual benefit, however, of the scheme totally failed. There was no mutuality about it. The manufacturer's class in general has grown rich; the farmers class in general has remained poor. The price of wool has, in the main, steadily declined ever since. In 1867 the price of wool was sixty-eight cents per pound; in 18ss, twenty-one years later, it had made a decline of just one- half and stood at thirty-four cents pe: pound—all this time under high republican protection. “Under the operations of the McKinley law the condition of the farmer is intin! worse. How can the advocate of prot eaplain that with a tariff of eleven ccnts per pound wool sells not only lower than ever before in the markets of the United States, but at less than ore-half the amount of the duty paid for its tection, the out- side price to the manufacturer in New York being seven and three-fourths cents per pound. This fs the most miserable and dis- graceful showing to be found in all the Wretched history of tariff protection. What farmer does not feel its shame and humilia- tion? “But what hi been the effect on the sheep raiser as ell as the woot wer? Have the flocks increased on a thousand hills by virtue of the combination between wool producers and manufacturers of wool in behalf of a high tarit! so mary years ago? On the contrary, in 1867 the farmers of the fcur states of Pennsylvania, Onio, Illinois and Michigan owned 16,546, of sheep. Twenty-one years afte-ward, 1888, the people of these same four great states owned but 6,018,784 head of sheep, a less of 10,827,966, and were selling their wool at exactly cn If the price it for- merly realized. I have not examined the census returns for 1800 on this subject, but the whole world knows that the situation has not been improved, but deeply degraded, by republican high-tariff legislation, so far as the farmer is concerned, during the last seven years, and during many years prior thereto. His fortunes have been downward, and with every tariff law of republican de- sign and crigin they will continue dn the same direction. “But in the next place, my reply to the prophets of calamity on account of free wool is that while the farmer always lost in the falling prices of wool under a protec- tive tariff, he will row and from this on steadily gain by the reduction of dvties, and consequently of prices, on the woolen goods he has to buy for himself and his family. I make a prediction also in this con lon, that the farmers of Indiana and of the whele country will sell their wool within the next two years at higher rates per pound than they ever sold it for under the McKinley law.” The Senator slso pointed out that the pro- tection to the sugar trust had been reduced 75 per cent, though it should all have been 7 wiped out, and discussed at length the work of Congress in tariff legislation. 0 ARTIFICIAL FRUIT COLORING. Aniline Dyes 4 for This Purpose in Europe. The Bulletin of Tree Culture, of Belgium, points out the following “improvements” to which fruits are at present submitted in Europe: Acetate and sulphate of copper have for a long time been employed for coloring plums that are too green. The color of lemons is “improved” with citronine and naphthol yellow, and the green spots are imitated by meaas of diamond green. A pleasing color is given to strawberries by sprinkling them with sulphofuchsine or rhodamine, or else a mixture of rhodamine and azo red Is used. Nothing is easier than to give peaches a beautiful color. To this effect there is mixture of rhodamine, azo red and citronite, which is applied by means of a brush and a perforated plate of zinc. The melon itself is not spared. Atropeodine or azo-orange is introduced into the inte- rior by means of a tube, and care is taken to add a little essence of melon. Apples and pears come in thelr turn, and pretty varie- ties of them are obtained by means of ani- line colors, which attack the flesh, as well as the epidermis. At a recent dinner Dr. Villon offered his guests some pears whose exterior seemed intact, but which internal- ly exhibited the colors of the French flag. The blue was obtained with Victoria blue, and the red with a mixture of rhodamine and azo red. eee — THE NEW TARIFF LAW. An Interesting Question in Regard to Reimported Whisky in Bond. Several leading distillers in Kentucky have raised an Interesting question of con- struction in connection with the adminis- tration of the new tariff law, It is whether re-imported whisky in bond prior to August 28th, the date when the new law took ef- fect, is dutiable at the old internal revenue tax rate of 90 cents per gallon or at the rate under the present law, viz: $1.10 per gallon, The distillers claim the right to withdraw it under the old rate, inasmuch as it was exported by them with that under- standing. Although no decision has yet been rendered by the Treasury Depart- ment, it is pretty well understood that the claim will not be allowed and that duty on such spirits will be exacted at the rate of the present internal revenue tax. It is stated at the department that such a de- cision would be strictly in accordance with instructions issued to customs officers on ssing duty on goods on and after the 28th of August, 1894, you will be governed by the principle enunciated in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Hartranft v. Oliver, 125 U. S. Reports, page 525, which entitles to the benefit of the new act all imported goods held in customs custody on that date, whether wharehoused, unclaimed, on board vessels, cr in process of transportation from one port of entry to another port ‘of entry @ port of delivery in the United States. « MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 34, 1894—TEN PAGES.

He Covers 211 1-4 Miles in a Twenty- Four Hour Ride. The twenty-four-hour road record has again been beaten. This time the success- ful rider was J. J. Fister of the Georgetown Cycle Club, who made the start Saturday afternooa at 6 o'clock and finished at the vame hour yesterday. On the first lap his tire was punctured, causing a few minutes’ ‘delay. Later on the tire again became dis- abled, and it was necessary to yet a new wheel. During the night, as well as yester- day, the rider was given very little to eat or drink. Several times he was taken into the tent and given a good rubbing. About daybreak riding was made unpleasant be- ‘ause of the heavy mist, and it was found necessary to give the rider a complete change of clothing. During the last’ few laps the rider was not permitted to leave his wheel, and at the end of the twenty- four hours he had scored 11 1-4 miles, and he is now the twenty-four-hour chamipion. ‘The ride was over the seven-mile course, and the fastest time made was fourteen miles in fifty-four minutes. ‘The officers of the race were: Timers, J. Hart Brittain and James W. Murray; cler! of the course, Thomas MM. Stearn; pacers, G. 8. Ball, B. B. Bent, L. Jj. T. Barnes, H. Z, Greer, G railers, J. T. Barnes, Robert W. B Hunt, William Parker, W.

Actval riding time, twenty-two hours and eleven minutes, ‘The successful record breaker will be pre- sented with an eightcen-pound racing wheel by the manufacturers of the Sterling bi- cycles. In addition to this, the Georgetown Club will give him a gold medal. E. ©. Yeatman, who held the record pre- vious to Fister’s ride, which was completed yesterdey, rode over the ten-mile course and had to climb the reservoir hill, This hill was passed sixteen times on the trip, which made his ride of 302 miles more tire- some than the ride over the seven-mile course, on which there is no hill of any consequence. Yeatman, who is a member of the Washington Road Club, has gone to Norfolk, where he is now in training, and next Friday he will start on a 24-hour ride, and his friends in the club are confident t he will lower Fister’s record. He will je on the 10-mile oyster shell road near Norfolk, on which there is not a hill, and it is claimed by some of his friends that he will ride 400 miles, bt Ee! Cia! THE COURSE WAS ‘TO BLAME. ——r' Why the Vigil Kost Abrong. | Second Mate H. C, Hnff}of the Vigilant, who has returned from. Hurope, has been interviewed since his rgtufp. “I won't say anything about the agecident,” said Mr. Haff, “but about the races I will soy this much: if the races ha@ibeen over a decent course we would have won everything, but the reaches were so short Jthat one had to be luffing and tacking ‘dii"the time. Why, on the course at Dartmore we had to sail over it four times to make forty-five miles. “The Vigilant did as ,well as she could be expected to on those courses, and the only wonder is that she got’a single race. “If those English boats ever come over here the Vigilant will beat them in calm or gal Mr. Haff said that the Vigilant was now at Faye’s ship yard at Northam, near Southampton, where she would lie up all the winter. “Mr. Gould will probably challenge for the Cape May cup in the spring,” concluded the yachtsman, “and he will then bring the Vigilant over to take part in the races here.” Soe Often SPARRING AT NEW ORLEANS. A Series of Glove Fights to Begin To- night. NEW ORLEANS, September 24.—The Olympic Club has arranged another great tocrnament for this week, and the sport is to begin tonight with the Plimmer-Murphy fight. Plimmer is the feather weight who LATE SPORTNG NEWS| Gefeated Spider Kelly when he first came ere from England. He defeated Joe Mc- Grath, the Irish champion, but his famous battle was with Gearge Dixon, whom he practically bested in four rounds. Johnny Murphy, private boxing instructor at Har- vard, has met Dixon, Cal. McCarthy and others as well known, and demonstrated that he had splendid fighting Tomorrow Stanton Abbott Everhardt meet at 1:3 pounds, the Ameri- can light-weight Mmit. Abbott is English champion in his class, and Everhardt has stood up against excellent men here. He de- feated Abbott two months ago, but the cisim was set up that the American had re- Peatedly fouled the Englishman. But the great battle of the tournament is that of the middle weights, Fitzsimmons and Creedon, on the 26th. The record of Bob Fitzsimmons is well known. In this coun- try he has never met defeat, and such men as Hall, Maher, Dempsey and others well known have gone duwn before him. Creedon has conquered Hall, Costello and Alex. Greggzins. An excellent authority gives this as the difference between the two men: The lanky Australian has several pro- nounced advantages over his more stocky, sturdy countryman, For instance, his ex- act height is full 5 feet 11 1-4 inches—in fact, nearet 5 feet 11 1-2 inches than 5 feet 11 1-4 inches, while Creedon measures 5 feet 8 1-2, a difference of three inches in favor of Fitzsimmons. As to reach, the Creedon men concede slightly the best of it to Fitz., but he will not have much advantage. In weight there will be no advantage on either side. If any, it will be in Creedon’s favor. Creedon is a wonder on his feet, and with his hands he is every bit as strong as Fitz- simmons, if not stronger. Sporting Notes. There is rebellion in the ranks of the Cincinnatis. Acting Captain Latham yes- terday oriered Parrott out of the game, and was cheered by the 7,000 persons present. The New York Driving Club held its first Saturdey trotting matinee at Fleetwood Park. The winners were Cephus, Duplex. The winners at Alexander Island Saturday were The Fop, Mattie Chun, Classic, Varuna and Ronald. Lord Hawke's English cricket team, in their second inning at the match in Phila- delphia Saturday, added 179 runs to their score for eight wickets. The Englishmen made 187 rung in their first inning and Philadelphia made 160, . Clifford beat Henry of Navarre in the second special, at a mile and a furlong, at Gravesend. The other winners were Jack of Spades, Dolabra, Sir Walter, Rubicon, Doe, Ingomar and Prince Karl. Joe Choynski,the prize fighter,accidentally shot himself through the right hand with a pistol Saturday at Jackson, Miss. It is be- lieved he will never be able to enter the ring again. J. 8S.

(retired), had a brief but Vigorous encoun- ter with a gang of toughs opposite the Menhattan Club in Sth av-nue, New Yerk vity, on Wednesday night last just after the rain, which had been k ing a steady downpour for two da showed signs of holding up. Admiral Erben is six- ty-six years old. He had gone to call on Dr. Sexton, Sth avenue and 35th street, but the doctor was not at home, so he turned down 5th avenue, on his way back to the Park Avenue Hotel, where ne is living. A nondescript band of music, consisting of a horn or two, a fife end a bass drum, | with a couple of banios, came through Eat 42d strect and turned into the av. nue. The traveling musicians were — fol- lewed by about one hundred men and boys, Members of this crowd had knocked down and robbed at least two men when they got down into the neighborhood of the Manhattan Club house, where they over- took Admiral Erben. What followed was detailed by the admiral himself to a Sun reporter last night. “I was just opposite the Manhattan Club and on that side of the street,” he said, “when I noticed these hoodiums com- ing down at a pretty rapid pace, and, as they took about all the room there was on the sidewalk, I stepped up on the stoop of the house adjoining the club. There were lots of negroes in the mob, and it was as tough a crowd of yahoos as you often meet. “I wes wearing this watch I now have and my watch chain was a cable gold one, completely encircling my neck. One of the tascals made a grab for the chain near the watch. The chain broke and the watch came out of my pocket, dangling from one end of the broken chain. Well, I may be scr ewhat along in years, but I'm ready for a fight when anybody's out for it. I seized the fellow by the throat and hauled back with my fist and hit him square in the eye. It was no light lick I gave him, for damme if I didn’t knoe that sidewalk into the my watch in my pocket. “By that time the fellow’s companions had rallied to his support. But he didn’t rally worth a cent. Some one hit me on the neck from behind. 1 turned on him then, remembering that I had in my hand a pretty big umbrella, which I had for- tunately roiled up. I made a jab at the nearest man to me. I aimed right for his eye, but I didn’t hit hi He was too close. Some one knocked the umbrella to one side. By that time somebody began yelling ‘policet’ and the toughs began to scatter. They all got away, but they got nothing from me.” soo Vote in Breckinridge’s District.

Drager to Industry in the Threatencd Continanace of Lower Tarif! Agitation. United States Senator Allison opened the campaign in lowa Saturday night at Ot- tumwa, speaking to an unprecedented crowd. After describing the growth of the coun- try’s wealth from 1861 to 1893, when the democracy regained control of the govern- ment, Senator Allison said: “The farmer in his field, the mechanic in his shop, the toilers in the factory, the merchant in his store, the men engaged in transportation, the domestic and day laborers were all occupied and all con- suming the products thus created, and all contributing to the aggregate of pros- perity. Financial Disasters of 1893. “This was the situation In outline when Grover Cleveland again became President of the United States and a democratic Con- gress convened It was not certainly known that the Senat would be democratic until February, 1893. From that -moment a deadly blight appeared, increasing in in- tensity as the days and months came and passed away. This sudden and marked change should be attributed to two poten- tial causes, aided by a third and minor cause. There was a just fear that a demo- cratic Congress and a democratic Presi- dent would carry out their proclaimed pol- icy respecting the tariff; that the six thou- sand five hundred millions of capital in- vested in manufactures would be imperiled, if not destroyed; that the four millions of | laborers would be thrown out of employ- ment or be compelled to work on short time at greatly reduced wages; that there would be a sudden and large influx of for- eign commodities thrown on the market at greatly reduced sand ‘millions of manufactured producte would dwindle because of the influx of foreign fabrics, and because of the destruc- tion of the consuming power of the people, impoverished from want of work or work- ing at reduced wages; that the earnings | of railways, built up in relation to and as a part of our industrial system, would greatly diminish, and their power to make cividends would cease wholly or be greatly diminished; that new enterprises would cease or be greatly curtailed, thus throw- irg out of employment those engaged in the building trades; that the accuroulated earnings of laborers in savings banks would be partially withdrawn, and that in consequence the business of the coun- try would be rapidiy curtailed. The uncer- tainty of what would be the final outcome in this transformation increases the trou- bles. Business Will Revive. “Then came the Wilson bill, full of free trade and full of distress for the working- man and for the business man; but there was a feeling that soon we would know the worst, and that we could begin again or surrender. Then came the struggle in the Senate and the result. It is rot as bad as we anticipated; but it is bad enough. Fires will be rekindled, many industries will start up again with reduced wages. Others will not be able to live under the rates of the act of 1804, with continental and En- glish prices for labor in competition even by reducing wages. So that tne great dis- tress and disaster of the last eighteen months must be laid at the door of the democratic party, and no sophistry or spe- cial pleading can change the plain facts which fixes the true cause of this distress directly upon the party. “The new bill does not satisfy President Cleveland, who joins in this denunciation, | and, therefore, instead of having a season | of rest and stability as respects our great production, we are told from every stump that this adjustment and arrangement of the Senate—this Gorman bill, so-called. shall be spturned and uprooted, and a more radical measure substituted if the democrats shall again secure a majority of | the House, Of course, nobody believes that this will be done at the short session next winter. Everybody knows, or ought to know, that this Gorman bill, with what- ever merit it has and with all its demerits, must stand until another House of Repre- sentatives is elected, and if the next House shall be democratic, they promise and pledge their party that there shall be a renewed agitation of this subject, and that the war of extermination shall go on until the democratic policy for revenue only ts established.” Fifty families from Pullman and Kensing- ton will go to Kansas and start a new town, with chief industry. eas navunvuceronswousenevvsvenovusvenstaveeanennauenueseer.
