To the Editor of The Brening Star: In his able sermon Sunday night Dr, ‘Talmage advanced the thought that Washington should become the scene of a powerful religious awakening, being, as it is, the fountain head of government and social life, @ cosmopolitan city, akin to north and south, east and west. From ‘Washington should radiate to all quarters of the land the good influences of a re- Hgtous uprising. ‘The same idea applies with reference to Caution! ‘Many unscrupulous dealers in the nit States are selling or lauber Salt, or a mixture of Seid- Utz Powder and Salt, under the name of “Carlsbad Salt,” “Improved Carls- bad Salt,” “Artificial Sprudel Salt,” or under other similar names, upon the reputation of the Genuine Pro- ducts of the Carlsbad Springs.

Five boys from the Orphans’ Home in Rahway went on an expedition recently, the purpe: e of which was to discover Capt. Kidd's treasure. The late captain has bur- fed his treasure, according to popular re- port, in several hundred different places on or near the Atlantic coast, and, as every boy in tkis ccuntry kncws, nobody has thus far succeeded in finding any part of it. There was no reason to Johnny Dough- erty’s mind why he shouldn't find it, par- ticularly as he knew pretty near where it was. Johnny has an uncle who lives in New- burgh, and the boy while visiting him learned of a cave near there where the treasure lies buried. Anybody who went to the cave when the moon was just in the right quarter and dug at midnight where the last rays of light fell would find untold riches. This fact Johnny learned of an ancient negro in Newburgh. He told of his knowledge to his companions at the Orphans’ Home, Fred Dunham and the three Decker boys. He hzdn't intended to let Gus Decker, who is only six years old, in on the :cheme, but Gus overheard part of it, and intimated pretty plainly that un- less he were taken along he would tell Mr. Lamberti, who kas charge of the boys, all about it, and he and Mr. Lambert! would take a train for Newburgh and dig up that treasure for themselves. So Gus was per- mitted to join the party. Tuesday morning was the time set for the departure. At the breakfast table Johnny Dougherty mentioned the subject to Mr. Lambert!, because all the boys like Mr. Lamberti, and the five didn’t want him to be worried about them. “We're going away, Mr. Lamberti,” said Johnny. “all right, boys; don't be gone long,”* said Mr. Lamberti, who thought that they were in fun, or that if they did go Bway they wouldn't go far, as Johrny, the leader, is but twelve years old end a cripple. When théy didn’t return from school at noon, Mr. Lambert! began to think that they Fad cerried out thefr design, and went to the village of Rahway, three-fourths of a mile distent, to look for them, cut fafled to find any trece. At 5 o'clock the truants returned, very tired and dirty. Taey hadn’t found the treasure, they said, but they had found a tramp, who had ‘fired a pistol to scare them off, and a drunken lady, who had threstened them with a stick, and who used language such as no lady, even when @runk, should vse. They didn’t want any treasure anyway. All they wanted was some supper ard a bed. They got both, and ere now back at achool and behaving in a ‘uost exemplary manner. — If LOOKS BEHIND. An Ingenious Telescope and What It Enables One to Do. From the New York World. Mankind once had an extra eye in the beck of the head. Scientists say that they ean still find traces of this eye in a certain frregular formation of the skull at the point where the ancient eye socket used to be. ‘These frregular places are called rudimen- tary eyes, but they are not to be found in all people. In fact, a man who can boast of a@ rudimentary eye !s quite a superior person. Of course, these rudimentary eyes are of no real use to anybody, not even to the owner of one of them, but they serve to show us that at a certain stage in our career nature thought it was a wise thing to enable u® to keep a watch In the rear, A retgn fi of opticians have very considerately endeavored to supply, as far as may be done by mechanical means, the logs of this rear-view eye. They have con- structed a telescope wiich enables the user to look around a corner. By its means you nm ay see and remain unseen, a circumstance which possesses obvious advantages. They call the invention the stereo-telescope. Stereo comes from a Greek word meaning solid, and {n this connection It is used as indicating that the image as seen through the stereo-telescope seems an exact coun- terpart of the object, and not a mere pic- ture of !t The two tubes that extend horizontally carry an object glass in either end. The pieces are placed on an axis at right | angles to that of the objective or long tubes. When the observer looks through the small peepholes he sees a different field with each eye. The rays of light from the t that He in the { of vision are ted by means of prisms, so that they | turn the corner of the right angle. Thus | you may leisurely study an object while under cover, the head being in such a posi- tion as not to admit of its being seen. When the tubes are thus extended the ob- server may stand behind a tree or a wall and reconnoiter from his concealed posi- tion. ere are also other points In favor of the instrum The field of vision is enormously extended. You may study ob- jects at opposite points of the compas with bo more trouble than the winking of your eye. The stereo-telescope may be folded up, in which position, being held with the tubes upward, it enables the observer to look above an object obstructing his view, such as a hedge, wall or crowd of people. A CASE OF TELEPATHY. The Old Lady Appeared in a Vision at the Time of Her Death. From the Realm. A gentleman tock a house In Ireland for six months, and was accompanied thither by his wife and daughters. The house was furnished, and had plenty of bed rooms. Therefore, {t was decided not to use a cer- tain large, long room, with cupboards along one side (which had all been locked and sealed up with tape), in which things belonging to the owners cf the house had been put away. One evening one of the daughters, going Up to her room, saw an old lady wrapped In a shaw! walking along the sage in front of ner. The old lady appeared to know her way, and hurried on without hesitation into the unused room. The girl called her sister, and they fol- lowed the dame into the room. But all was stient; no one was thers; the dust lying about showed no signs of footprints. Shortly after, the same young lady was reading on the hearthrug by firelight. Looking up, she beheld the old lady stand- ing in the doorway watching her. Greatly frightened,she sprang up,and.rushing dow stairs, was found fainting at the drawing room door. At last the family returned to Dublin. One day, when a friend was call- ing, the curious incident which I have nar- rated was referred to. The young lady very unwillingly told her experiences. The visi- tor seemed much struck, and asked for an accurate description of the cld lady. “For,” sald she, “that house belonged to two old ladies, sisters, and when they let their house they went to reside at Geneva. One “es of them, answering exactly to the descrip- tion you have given, died at the time you saw her appear.” SS ea A Rare Event in the Family. From the Bridgeton (N. J.) Chronicle.

All dealers soll Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. concerned, there is not much change on ac- count of the arrival of the new captain gen- eral of the island, Gen. Weyler, at Havana yesterday. Indeed, no change of importance is expected for some days. Gen. Weyler will first devote himself to a compiete review of the operations already undertaken, and he will then figure out the situation as it actu- ally exists. Gen. Marin, who has been appointed cap- tain general of Porto Rico, is expected to leave for his new post today® He has not done much since he assumed command after the departure of Marshal Martinez de Cam- pos, but he certainly displayed activity, and has been on the move almost, continually. The exact plan of campaign of Gen. Wey- ler is not known, but it is. believed that it will be a different one from that of Campos. He is likely to call in all the small detach- ments of troops which have, from the first, had such a weakening effect upon the Span- ish operations, and he will try to drive the insurgents into a position from which they cannot escape without a pitched battle. This does not mean that the new captain general will leave all points unprotected, in order io concentrate his troops. On the contrary, he will endeavor to protect pro erty to the utmost, but in so doing he anti: pates being able to call in several thousand men who are doing small garrison duty in places where, apparently, there is no neces- sity for their presence now. Gen. Weyler will also do everything pos- sible to muster as strong a force of cavalry as he can. Considerable reinforcements of this branch of the service have already ar- rived in Cuba, and more are expected during the week. Regarding his political standing, Gen. Weyler will be entirely non-partisan, while willing to listen to suggestions and ad- vice from all parties. In short, his first efforts will be directed to concentrating his forces and restoring public confidence. Later, he will try to en- gage the insurgents, who are understood to be concentrating their forces, in anticipa- tion of having a much more difficult task be- fore them than they have had up to the present. In fact, some reports credit the insurgents with desiring to concentrate all their scat- tered detachments and columns into one bedy, and so bring the insurrection to a di- rect issue. If so, there seems to be no doubt that the Spanish generals will rot put any obstacle in the way of the insurgent com- manders. But Spaniards who are well posted on the situetion say there is no truth in the report that the insurgents will make any ef- fort to risk a pitched battle. Gen. Weyler’s Proclamation. The following 1s the proclamation issued by Capt. Gen. Weyler upon assuming his pest: “To the People of Cuba. “Honored by her majesty, the queen, and her government with the command of this island, under the difficult circumstances now prevailing, I take charge of it with the de- termination that Jt shall rever be given up by me, and that I will keep it in the posses- sion of Spain, willing as she is to carry, out, whatever sacrifice shall be required to suc- ceed, as she has been in the past. “I rely upon the gallantry end discipline of the army and navy, upon the patriotism, never to be subdued, of the volunteer corps and more especially upon the support that I should be given by the loyal inhabitants born here or in Spain. “It is not necessary to say that I shall be generous with the subdtied and to all of those doing any Service to the Spanish cause. But I will not lack in the decision and en- ergy of character to punish, with all the rigor that the law enacts, those who in any way help the enemy, or calumniate the pres- lige of our name. “Putting aside at present any {dea of pol- itics, my mission is the honorable one of finishing the war, and I only see in you the loyal Spaniards who are to assist me to de- feat the insurgents. But her majesiy’s gov- ernment is aware of what you are and of what you are worthy and the statutes of peace that these provinces may obtain. It will grant you, when it is deemed suitable to do so, the reforms that the government may think most proper, with the love of a mother for her children. “Inhabitants of Cuba, lend me your co- operation and in that way you will defend your interests, which are those of the coun- |}. try. “Long live Spanish Cuba! four “(Signed) 0. oR, Marquez of ‘Teneriffe. “Habana, February 10." (The follcwing sheet of thé cable dispatch from Havana fs sent blank, and upon a re- quest to Havane for explanation,.is repeated. so, leaving It to be inferred that it has been thrown out by the censor.—Cable edftor): Gen. Weyler's Address. Gen. Weyler also offers the following ad- Gres: > ‘olunteers and Firemen. “Being again at your head, I see In you the successors of those volunteers and firemen who fought with me in the previous war and with their bravery, energy and patrist- ism brovght about peace, defended the towns and cities and contributed most pow- erfully to save Cuba for Spain. Remember these virtues; brighten your spirits and, re- lying on my whole attention, my decisive support and my utmost confidence, lend me the same help and co-operation and with the same ambition, save the prestige of your name and the honor of our flag, which, for- victorious, should fly over this island. joldiers of the army. I greet you in the name of her majesty, the queen, and of the government. Having the honor of being at your head, I trust that at my command you will continue to show the bravery in face of hardships proper for the Spanish soldier, and that“you will gather new wreaths to add to those already attained under the command of my predecessors, Gens. Martinez Campos and Sabas Marin. i “On my part, answering to the great sacrl- fice made by the nation, and using the ef- forts of all arms and bodies in the work In- trusted to each of the organic units, I will rot omit anything to place you in the condi- tion for obtaining the victory and the re- turn of peace to this island, which is what she longs for. “Sailors, I have again the satisfaction to be at your side, and I again trust that, as in Mindanao, recently, you will lend me your powerful co-operation to bring peace to this island. Thus, I expect surely that you will afford me a new chance to express my thanks and my enthusiasm to the Spanish navy.” Freedom of the Press. The press, Gen. Weyler announces, will have all suitable liberty, the publication be- ing prohibited only of that which refers to the movements of the troops and of that which favors the rebels. ——_—_—_+ e+_____ Represented in Every State.

Edison, the electrician, was hard at work all day yesterday in his lab- oratory at Menlo Park, N. J., preparing for his experiment of photographing the human brain With the aid of the newly dis- covered X or cathode ray. With the ald of mercury pumps, he labored assiduously on Crooke’s tube of his own manufacture. To the mouth of each tube a long glass tube was attached, and through this, by means of a connecting tube in the side, the mer- cury was run, and the air in the Crooke’ tube was gradually exhausted by the mer- cury. Surrounded by a score or more of inquisitive reporters and other curious vis- itors, Mr. Edison sat for hours watching the progress of the work, and he displayed a wonderful amount of patience, when, after repeated trials, the desired result was qfot obtained. This city is the ideal birthplace of reform. It deserves to be- come the great ideal school house of prac- tical government. This {is of all others the American city in which to winnow the harvest of schemes which come to us from the hustings year after year. For the purposes of testing its merits and thus creating an object lesson I would suggest the wisdom of inaugurating here the mu- nicipal ownership of an electric light sys- tem. The results of such a test would Prove beneficial to all the cities of the land. A precedent for such action is found in our Department of Agriculture, which is the pioneer in all agricultural re- searches. Municipal government is a problem of paremount importance in every American city. Why not make a trial in this ¢ tal eity of municipal ccntrol of electric lighting? For the benefit of those who doubt ghe wisdom of this plan I will cite the case of Athens, Ga., where mvnicipal ownership has proven abundantly successful. An Athens, Ga., letter says: The city of Athens has had three months’ expe- rience in the city ownership of the electric Ughts. Eighty-four lights have been operated at a cost of $38 per light per annum. This expense will be slightly reduced by the end of the year. Sixteen new lights are to be put in at an early date, In fact as soon as the necessary poles arrive. There has been no accident since the city assumed control of the lights and good service has been given also. The chance of accident has been reduced to a minimum by the skillful at- tention paid to every detail of the sys- tem by the efficient manager, Mr. P. J. Voss. Under the old contract the city paid $8,400 per annum for its 84 lights; under its own management these lights will cost $8,400 per annum. ‘This _repre- sents a saving to the city of $5,000 per annum. In two years the amount saved will pay off the $9,000 that was paid for the are light system when it was pur- chased by the city. With such water power as the Great Falls at our door we should be able to boast the most thorough as well as the most economical system of lighting in all America. ‘The telephone service offers a field for a national object lesson. It is worth sug- gesting, at least, that the government Should own and operate a central station through which all companies doing tele- phone business in the city be required to operate. This plan would prevent com- plications and thus permit that free and beneficial competition naturally resulting from the presence of more than one com- pany in the field. That tho service would be better and cheaper goes without ques- tion. Such a central station as suggested could be made self-sustaining through tolls charged the companies using it. If it is complained that damage and confusion re- sult from the too frequent tearing up of the streets by rival companies I suggest that the proper remedy lies in the govern- ment (or municipal) ownership of com- modious conduits under the streets through which wires of all kinds should be re- quired to extend. In the great ideal Amer- ican clty every street should be equipped with a conduit large enough to accommo- date all the telegraph, telephone and elec- trie light wires. Such a system would prove economical in the end. Through a System of rentals for its use the original cost could be gradually wiped out. If the material interests of this city were as closel¥ guarded by the people as are the social and political features of our daily existence we would presently have a bill through Congress providing for a commis- sion or municipal government whose duty it should be to seek far and wide for light on all topies entering into the Mfe of the city. Valuable object lessons lie all about us. Augusta, Ga., has harnessed the mag- nificent power in the Savannah river at a cost of over two millions. The power is rented out to factories at the rate of $5 per horse power per annum, and from this source sufficient revenue is derived to pay off tho interest on the debt and gradually cut down the principal. The enterprise has brought over fifteen thousand addi- tional population to the city. The cotton mills using this water power employ near- ly flve thousand operatives and pay out in Wages about $125,000 per month. X.X.X. —— MAKES A VACANCY. Seeretary Brockwell of Columbia Typographical Union Resigns. William N. Brockwell, who was chosen secretary of Columbia Typographical Un- ion to succeed Frank Padgett, last Novem- ber, has resigned to resume work in tha government printing office. Mr. Brocxwell was appointed chairman of the committee of three that examined the books of the union to discover the extent of Secretary Padgett’s delinquencies, and later elected secretary. He took the office against his wishes in order to ald the union to emerge from its difliculties, and now resigns when its affairs seem to be in a good condition. President Tracy has appointed Mr. Ed Toner to act as secretary pro tem., he hav- ing served in the position during the in- terval from Padgett’s disappearance to Brockwell’s election. There will be an elec- tion of secretary next Sunday. Tim Ring and William Leavitt of the government printing office and F. W. Watson are said to be candidates. Another Human Brute. A special from Vossburg, Miss., says: One of the most atrocious deeds in the history of this section was perpetrated at Antioch, Jasper county, Friday. T. W. Wood mur- dered his daughter Minnie, catching her in the back and striking her no less than twelve times with a sharp hatchet, literally chop- ping her to pieces. The drunken brute then ransacked the house and premises with the hope of finding his wife and other child, in order to elay them. They took to the woods, however. Wood went into a cow lot, opened his breast, and fired a 44-caliber pistol ball into his heart, dying instantly. ——_-—-cee_____ 5 Importing Egyptian Sugar. About 12,300 tons of sugar are now afloat on the way to Philadelphia from Alexan- dria, Egypt. ‘These cargoes are on board British tramp steamships and are due about March 1. The importation in large quantities of Egyptian sugar is a new thing, made necessary through the appre- hersion that the Cuban crops, by reason of the war, will be very poor. In addition to this large quantittes of sugar are being shipped from Hamburg in British steam- ships and from Honolulu in American clipper ships. —— — <o — Cost Two Lives.

Secretary Olney, in his report, says: , “1, The Department of State is not offi- clally possessed of pny diplomatic corres- pondence or other information respecting the establishment of, or any attempt to es- tablish, post routes by Great Britain or the Dominion of Canada over or upon United States territory in Alaska. “Deeming it possible that the Postmaster General might be able to impart some in- fcrmation touching this particular feature of the Senate's inquiry, I addressed a let- ter to Mr. Wilson upon the subject. I in- close a copy of his reply of January 31, 1895, from which it appears that one round trip by carrier was contemplated from Vic- toria, British Columbia, via Juneau, Aias- ka, to Fort Cudahy. “2. The Department of State is not offi- cially possessed of any authentic corres- pondence or other information respecting any occupation or attempted occupation, by other means than the establishment of pcst routes, of any portion of United States territory m Alaska by the military or civil authorities of Great Britain or the Dominion of Canada. The only diplomatic corres- pondence on file having even a remote rela- tion to this branch of the Senate's inquiry was exchanged in June, 1505, when, at the instance of the governor general of Canada, the British ambassador at this capital asked that customs facilities be accorded a detachment of twenty mounted police en route for the Canad’an section of the Yukon country, passing to its destination by way of Seattle, in the state of Washington, and St. Michael's, Alaska, and thence ascending the Yukon river to the boundary. The de- sired facilities were promptly accorded by the Secretary of the Treasury, and tho British ambassador was so informed. “3. The Department of State is not ofi- clally possessed of any diplomatic corres- pendence or other information respecting any other attempt of Great Britain or the Deminton of Canada to assert any claims to territory of the United States in Alaska either by occupation or attempt to occupy such territory, or otherwise.” es PEARL BRYAN’S DEATH. Mixa Hollingsworth Confexses That She Performed the Fatal Operation. Miss Lulu May Hollingsworth of Indian- apolis has confessed that she performed the operation which resulted in the death ef Miss Pearl Bryan of Greencastle, Ind. Sunday Miss Hollingsworth told the po- Uce that she herself had bought for Pearl Bryan three kinds of drugs intended to produce an abortion, and instructed Mi Bryan to buy another drug after she reach- ed Cincinnati, but to be careful how she used it, as it was deadiy poison. Miss Bryan, she said, declared she would take the stuff, and if it killed her Jackson, who Was the cause of her trouble, would be hanged for tt. Last night Miss. Hollingsworth said the death of Pearl Bryan was caused by an operation, and that it was performed in Indianapolis. Miss Hollingsworth says that she performed the_operation at the request of Miss Bryan, She also claims to have received a letter from Jackson, in which he explains how and where the Woman was decapitated. In, the letter, according to her story, Jackson said that Miss Bryan died in his room; that he hfred a horse and buggy and employed a negro to assist him. The negro, with the body of Miss Bryan, drove to Fort Thomas, where Jackson was in waiting. The negro cut off the head of the young woman with a cleaver and Jackson threw it into the river from the suspension bridge. The potice believe Miss Hollingsworth is a notoriety seeker and discredit her story. ‘ So far she has been unable ‘to verify her story, and although the officers have worked constantly they have been unable to find anything to substantiate it. SS Six Lives Were Lost.

Gladness Comes wis a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant eftorts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the onl: remedy with millions of families, and everywhere esteemed so highly b; who value good health.
