The joyful Christmas Season is close at hand. We propose to com- memorate it in a substantial manner tomorrow, December 21, 1895, by presenting our customers and all art critics with a large Richly-Colored Art Litho- graph, Entitled “FRIENDS,” An original work—designed and painted especially for C. D. Kenny by Edward Payne, in which he most ably portrays a pretty, rouguish-look- ing child of about 6 years with her arms lovingly thrown around the neck of a large, pure white bulldog. The dog presents a just-been-fed look, and, sitting on his haunches, you can almost hear him say (show- ing appreciation for his dinner), “Now, just let any one dare touch my little charge.” Thus are they great “Friends.” C.D.

A At St. George's Hcspital the inaugural address was delivered by Dr. George D. Pollock, who, after narrating the early history of the institution, said it was re- built in 1834, when sanitary science was rot so well understood as it was today. The defects of the building as originally constructed, therefore, had been a source of constant expense, and though every ef- fort had been made to secure efficient, sani- tation, there were still some drawbacks, which he hoped might be removed by the rebuilding and considerable extension of the hospital in the direction of Hyde Park place. The lecturer proceeded to impress upon the students the importance of con- siderirg temper and temperament in deal- ing with patients, and strongly urged upon them the necessity of having regard to idiosyncrasies. A relative cf his could not partal rice, one of the most innecent produc the vegetable kingdom, without alarming symptoms. Some friends, ing to test the matter, had some bi prepared with but a single grain of rice in each one. His relative partook of two or three of these biscuits, and, becoming un- comfortable, left the table, declaring that if he were not morally certain that he had not partaken of rice he should say he had been poisoned by it. He had heard of a ease in which a man could not eat goose- berries without a certain rash manifesting itself, who, at a fashiorable party, soon after the champagne had been handed round, pulled up his sleeves and showed a friend that particular rash appearing. What applied to goosel-erries applied to drugs, and doctors should be careful of pre- scribing thcse which the patient said did not agree with him. Lord Byron, in one of his conversations with Lady Blessington, remarked that medical men did not attend sufficiently to idiosyncrasies, and thought that what had cured one man would cure another with a similar disease. Lord By- ron was an acute observer, and judged rightly, although he expressed himself in aneexaggerated manner in regard to idi- osyncrasies. a Seg A portion of the barracks at Buenos Ayres collapsed yesterday. Twelve soldiers who were in the building at the time were killed and sixty were injured, SENT TO THE ASYLUM Joseph Delaney Wrote Letters to the Sisters at Providence Hospital. His Remarks in Court This Morning— The Sincere Regard He Felt —Probably Insane. Joseph Delaney is an unfortunate man in some respects. For seven years he had a good home in Providence Hospital, where he only did a little work, and since he left there two years ago he has managed to live without much exertion. Only a few weeks ago he called at the Catholic University, and while there he borrowed several overcoats in a manner that would have caused him several months’ incarceration had not the priests whom he robbed asked for his re- lease, for the reason that they thought -his mind was unsound, and they did not want him sent to jail, During all this time he was writing letters to Sister Louise Carey at Providence Hospital, and it was because of this objectionable conduct that he was taken in custody yesterday by Detective Horne and locked up. When the prisoner appeared in the Police Court this morning he showed evidence of having indulged in intoxicants to some ex- tent for at least several months, as well as showing? evidence, to Judge Miller's mind, of insanity. Sister Beatrice, who is the sister superior of the hospital, also received a letter from the prisoner, and she appeared in court this morning with Sister Louise Carey to give evidence against him. Some of the letters to Sister Carey showed that the man was in Jove with her, but he had finally concluded that his love for her was not reciprocated, for his last letter contained threats. While at the hospital his strange conduct was noticed, and he had to be deprived of a razor for fear he would injure some one, and when, two years ago, he disappeared from the hospital, the sisters felt that they had been greatly relieved by getting rid of one of the objects of charity. Judge Miller heard the evidence in the case and read the threatening letter sent by Delaney this week. ‘The prisoner was questioned, and he prom- ised to stop the annoyance. “I have respect and affection for Sister Louise Care; said the prisoner, “‘and have written letters of affection to her, and am willing to lay down my life for her. I am | willing to die for her, and wish I could do so at this time.” Judge Miller called his attention to the fact that there was nothing affectionate in the threats, and the prisoner said he real- ized that in this he had made a grave mis- take. “But if you will let me go, not write any more letters.’ “You made promises when you were in custody before,” s:id the judge. ‘Your ex- perience then should have been a warning to you.” He was committed to jail, and the judge greeted that he be examined by Dr. God- ing. Sister Beatrice said she hoped he would not be sent to jail, but she thought he should be sent to the asylum. The unfortunate man is a brother of the late Father Delaney, who was pastor of the Church of the Holy Name pf Jesus, in North- east Washington, and has relatives and friends in Baltimore. Sent to the Asylum. Dr. Godding examined Delaney this after- noon and gave evidence in court to the ef- fect that the prisoner needed treatment for mental disorder. Judge Miller listened to the doctor's eviderce and made an order committing Delaney to the asylum. The papers in the case were sent to the Secre- tary of the Interior. he said, “I'll — GOTHAM’S PULPIT FAVORITE. Dr. Satterlee Must Not Leave, Even to Be a Bishop. New York Letter to Boston Herald. Though the greater New York, as repre- sented by Brooklyn, felt prepared to spare Washington Rev. Mr. Talmage, there is a general feeling that the section of metro- politan society most interested will make a vigorous protest against Rev. Henry Sat- terlee, actual rector of Calvary Church, go- irg over to the national capital; nor, indeed, would it seem to be at all certain that this thoughtful ard eloquent preacher is inclined to become a bishop since he has already more than once refused the honors. The departure of Dr. Satterlee would be, indeed, a distinct loss to the religious world ot New York, which has already from time to time relinquished such able members of the clergy as Kev. Winchester Donald. There is a feeling none the less intense be- cause local that once a favorite New York divine, always a New Yorker. Imagine, for example, the late Phillips Brooks anywhere save in Boston,.of whose life and atmosphere he seemed to be part. To listen to him in Westminster Abbey was a great treat, but within that venerable pile he was still peculiarly the bearer of a mes- sage from beyond the seas. Dr. Satterlee, who may, if he wills it so, be, Bishop Satterlee, is certainly alike one of the most convincing and interesting of preachers in the Protestant Episcopal Church. To begin with, he is intensely hu- man, in the sense of sympathetic, and de- vold of clerical affectations. The sworn foe of worldliness in any form, he yet never preaches for effect or to appeal to “the gal- lery."" There is about him, both as a man and a preacher, a refreshingly wholesome quality; at once earnest and cultivated, he is an ideal preacher for a congregation large- ly composed of educated people, who need a guide and inspiration in their good works. Dr. Satterlee is never dull, but unfailingiy interesting; his sermons invariably give the imprescion of being the result of spontane- cus and origixal thought. They treat of old themes from a new standpoint, and no mat- ter how familiar a text, such as “It is more blessed,to give than to receive,” furnishes the starting point of a masterly Thanks- giving sermon. The “Seven Words” during the Good Friday service at Calvary uni- formly suggests eloquent and feeling dis- courses. Calvary Church in itself is one of the most beautiful, and in every respect satisfying, in New York. Unlike that ultra-fashionable sanctuary, St. Thomas’ Church, Calvary Chureh makes a point of welcoming ‘‘ont- siders” and putting persons who are not pewholders at their ease. The charity work of the parish is unusually well organized, and proceeds without recourse to sensation- al methods. Altogether, as the rector of Calvary, Dr. Satterize occuptes alike so use- ful and commanding a position that his ac- ceptance of a bishopric will be regarded as a local calamity. oo ____ WHY THE MIRAGE SEEMS INVERTED e Retina in Felt, Not Seen. From the St. Loufs Repablic. Our last week's article on the curious po- sitions assumed by the images in that va- riety of mirage peculiar to the Mediterra- nean in the vicinity of Italy, and which is known as the Fata Morgana, caused us to undertake the task of ascertaining exactly “wh: mirage images are usually seen in- verted. If you will take the time to look the matter up you will find that this phe- nomenon is not clearly explained, either in the bcoks of meteorology or optics. Lord Rayleigh says that the delusion of water appearing in mirages on hot, sandy plains is due to the fact that the undis- turbed strata of air near the earth is high- ly rarified. A ray of light falling very ob- liquely upon this strata, and being totally reflected, reaches the eye of the observer just as it would if reflected from water. The phenomenon is, strictly speaking, one cf refraction rather than reflection. Now, just as the glass lens forms an image on the screen, so the crystalline lens of the eye forms an image on the retina or sensi- ulve back part of the eye. This retina image is Inverted, as all retina images are, and being projected to another strata of rari- fied air above, has the effect of making the delusion perfect. Rayleigh further says that there has been much unnecessary speculation in connection with the theory of Inverted retina images, the mystery be- ing that we do not see all things inverted. The iruth of the matter is—now look for something you never saw in a book—we do not see the retina image at all, we only feel it. If we could see the image on the eve of some one clse we would certainly see it inverted, The Image on th —— +00 Herr von Flotowa, second secretary of the German embassy in this city, Is to be transferred to Dresden, and Herr von Bru- ening, now at Paris, will come to Washing- ton, baby growth The baby’s mission is owth.

Tired of Waiting for the Expected One Hundred Per Cent Increase. From the Detroit Free Press. About noon I came along to where a man sat in the sun befcre a dug-out, and he did not wait for me to come to a halt before he exclaimed: “I'll do it, stranger—I'll do it as sure’s yer born. I'm a man as can’t be imposed on beyand a sartin pint!” “Anything wrong?” I asked, as I looked around and failed to find any evidence of other inhabitants of that plain. “I should say thar’ was!” he yelled, as he rose up and then jumped a foot high. “Stranger, what would you say I was smokin’ in place of terbacker?” “It smelis’ like a piece of old woolen shirt.” “That's it—that’s exactly what it is, and it's the last of the shirt, at that! Stranger, when did I hey my last squar’ meal?” vo days ago, perhaps.” “It's over three, and then I had no salt with it! I've bin tramped on and ground irto the earth, and I won't stand it no ert Ar’ you going as fur as Indian- ola? ; I'm going right there.” hen you git to Indianola I want you to go and see Kurnel Davids. His office is right across from the tavern. He's a short, fat man, and his hair would be red if he had any. You'll find him paintin’ signs and writin’ out hand-biils and circu- lars about Golden City. He'll be a writin’ about the railroads and factories and churches and skulehouses which is to come here. He'll be a writin’ about the rich farmin’ jands, the public parks, the soshul advantages and the healthiness of the climate. He'll be a-writin’ that Golden City is to be the Chicago of the fur west, and that in less’n ten years she will hev a populashv} 200,000 people.” “Why, , you don’t tell’ me that this is Golden Cit, I exclaimed. “I do, stranger. She's right here, all surveyed and city lots for sale!” “And there's only one dug-out and one inhabitant!” “That's all, and that's bin enough up to now. Another feller was to come over three days ago and bring provisions and dig another hole and keep me company. That would hev increased the population and the number of dwellings a hundred per cent, you see, but he hasn’t come. You say to the kurnl that you saw me. You say that I was hungry and lonesome. You say that I was hoppin’ mad and growin’ mad- der every minit. Jest you pound on the table and look him in the eyes and say that if he don’t get the balance of the pop- ulation of this city out here before noon tomorrer, with suthin’ to eat and drink and smoke, that the present inhabitan will walk right off and bust his boomi: old town all to squash! Stranger, will ye do that fur a sufferin’ public?” “Yes, I will.” “Thank ye. The kurnel agreed to give dollar a day and my grub fur bein’ the skules, factories, railroads, churches, pop- ulashun and soshul advantages of Golden City, and if he don’t cum up to the rack I'll shoulder my blanket and fryin'-pan and leave a scene of desolashun behind I agreed to put the case in a vigorous manner, but was saved any trouble in that direction. Five miles from Indianola I met the other “populashun” loaded down with blankets and provisions, and when I told him that Golden City was in danger of being wiped out of existence he uttered a yell of dismay, put the whip on his mule and went away at headlong speed. ——___+e-+___ LOADING DICE. Once a Flourishing Business in Knox- vill From the Knoxville Journal. A reporter noticed in a shop window a pair of dice. They were tnnocent-look- ing little white bones, and he had quite forgotten them when the proprietor re- marked, “Them's loaded.” “What's loaded?” “Why, the dice.” “Oh,” the reporter ejaculated. The pro- prietor picked up the dice, and, throw- irg them on the counter, said, “Come seven,” and sure enough seven came. Some one else pitched them and five turn- ed up, but before he could make another five to gain his point that fatal seven showed its face again, and so it went, the five and the two making the seven, three out of five shots. “There are only two men in the city who can or will load dice,” the proprietor ex- plained. “Before Jones turned loose on the gam- blers one could get $5 and $6 for loading a pair of dice, and if the job was difficult you could get even more than that, but now $3 is a very good price, and there ts less to do than there once was at any price. “These were loaded for a regular gam-_ bling house, and a crack shot will never recognize the fron. To do the job right re- quires a good deal of skill and pains. You bore the eye and pour in your mercury or beat in your lead. If you use mercury it must be in the form of quicksilver. Mer- cury is probably the best, though a tiny lead shot will answer the purpose of the ordinary ,dice. You then take a bit of ivory and fitting it in the plug counter- sink the eye. If the loader understands his business there is no professional who can detect the fraud. Not to make the weight suspicious you can bore and leave hollow that side of the dice for which it is leaded. “Sometimes there is big money in the business. About a -year ago, when dice were the rage with gentlemen of the green cloth, a party of local gamblers sent all the way to Black Hill, Colo., for an ex- pert to come and do their little trick. He came, and in one night he and his crowd done one game for $3,900. The next day he returned to Black Hill. That man was once a noted gambler in this city. It was about this time that Chief Adkins, after having made a raid on some notorious dive, placed on exhibition a pair of loaded dice cut in halves. “Speaking of the price of dice, $5 or 38 is letting them off light. In some cities where the dice are loaded in a professional way, not to order, but for regular sale, dice that without the lead are worth about 80 cents with lead will cost you $18. But after all that isn't much, for the man who handles them right fs soon ‘in.’ —__- + e+ —___ Corpre of Oxsified Man. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A message received at Wichita, Kan., from Douglas, Kan., states that the body of Ed- gar Pratt, said to be the most completely ossified man in the world, and who died recently, had been stolen from its grave. Some time before Pratt died he was taken before a medical society in New York, where nis case was pronounced wonderful, he hav- ing lived nine years while as rigid as the dead, being kept alive by thin soup fed through his teeth. The society offered him a pension of $1,000 a year whHe he lived, and his widow $5,000 at his death, if he would consent to give his body to the society after death, which was refused. The offer so alarmed the family that when Pratt died the body was buried under a flower bed in front of his father’s chamber window, as a pre- caution against thieves. The message says that the rather was called as a juror to th¢ county seat the other day, and in his at sence the grave was robbed.
