The meeting of the state pharmaceut- feal society opened In the Mynster bulld- ing yeaterday, with an attendance of over a hundred, there being representatives from all parts of the state. The morn. ing session opensd with prayer by Rev. Mr, Mackey, and an address ¢f welcome by the mayor of the eity. The pres. ident of the society, Dr. Bride, of Marshalltown, then dellvered his annual address, which Was Interesting In its hls'orlcal features and in its treatment of the state law concern. ing pharmaclsts, A case, testing this 1aw, is now being carrled up to the high- est courte, and the final result is being looked forward to with much interest, so that it was very appropriate that he shonld devote so liberal a portion of his address to 1ts consideration. The afternoon session was devoted malnly to the admission of new members, and to the listening to reports of the sev- eral standing®committees, The display of pharmacentioal goods wra not so extenslve and varied as was hoped, but what there was proved to be very criditable, The finvat was the one made by Parke, Davis & Co., of Detroit, and was in charge of their able representative, George B. Thompson, The articles were very tastefully arranged and consisted of rare crude druge, gellatin coated pills, empty and filled capsules, hard and soft, oleates of copper, iron, alumium, zlnc, etc, compressed tablets, lozenges, flav- ored and medicated, dessicated blood and bone, and a great varlety of other articles, Frederlck, Stearns & Co , also of De- troit, made a fine display of thelr goods, especlally of the non-secret medlclnes, of which they are the originators. They have also a large number of pharmaceu- tioal preparations, flaid extracts, gelati coated pills, powdered goods, ot g“i' isplay was In charge of D.M. Y. O. P. Beck represented John A.

THE CARNIVAL. Entertainment Masonic Hall, The Grand In the The *‘Carnival of Natlons” opened in Masonle hall very successfally last even- ing, and the eutertalnment there offered is certainly one of the most novel and pleasing ever presented in this clty. The booths looked like bowers, and the many and varled costumes presented a scene which could not but interest and please. The ladles have evidently spent much time, Jabor, and money In preparing these many attractive features, and they certalnly merit a lib- eral patronage. To-nlght there will be a New England supper served in the Auwerlcan booth, commencing at 6 o'clock, 80 as to accommodate the business men, and there will be plenty of other features to entertain those who to-night visit the — IOWA NEwS ITEMS, Burlington will pave the north eide of Jeilerson street as an experfment.

D —— A STRANGE STORY, A Taleof the Guillotine—How a Dead Man Talked—What He Said. Figaro, Paris, June 16, 1884, While traveling In Earope last spring I epent & few months In Paris, snd one night accepted an Invitation to take din. ner at the houss of a physloian who, sl- though an American, has made that olty his home, and has acquired a continental reputation. When I say that he s a Baltimorean, and that he spent several years in the service ot a forelgn poten- tate now in exile and disgrace, from whom he received the title of which he bears, my readers can form a shrowd idea as to his identity, The company I was ssked to meet was & very distinguished one. There was a United States senator from York state, a member of the French senate, who held an Im- portant position at the court of Napoleon 111, but had now thrown In his fortunes with the regublic; a celobrated English novelist, a famous comedian from Theater Francalse, two of the most distingulshed of the Forty Immortals,and a member of the academy of sciences whoee work on peychology are known all over Earope. It will thus be seen how pleasant the gatherlng must have been, and how, under the genial Influence of our host's Burgundy, the conversation spread over a wide field in literature, art and science. Naturally 1t drifted into obstruse psycho- logical subjects, and the fact that several of the guests were materialists did not prevent the starting of a discusslon on the forms of mind and matter, and the poesibility of a sentiment conditlon even 1‘;(!3( the principle of life has left his od . Incidents were cited as having been recorded by witnesses in which, after serpents and eels had been cat into small portions and the vital parts seem- ingly destroyed, the varlous portions scemed to be endowed with life and vitality; and a case was mentioned, well kpown In medical jurisprudence, iu which a man, an Inordinate gambler, who was about to be beheaded for a henious crime, begged as a last request to be allowed to play a game of piquet with one of the soldiers who was guard. ing him. The officer in commsnd humored him, and the game began Both werb expert players, bt just as the doomed man was about to lay down a card which would have settled the con- test, the officer made a sign to the ex- ecutioner. That functuary lifted his sword, and, with one stroke severed the wretch’s head from his body, and as the ghastly object fell to the ground, the lips were teen to move, and from them were heard to come, in clear, distinct tones, *‘I have wo1 the game.” Up until this time the member of the Academy of Sciences, whom I will call M. deur X, had been an attentive lis- tener, but he now Interposed and said, “‘Gentlemen, I can tell you something even more wonderful than thls, and something which, on account of the sourca from which the etory came to me, incrediblo as it may appear to you, I cannot but believe. My grandfather was a physician in this clty during the terri- ble ecenes of the revolution of 1780, He was an ardent student and a succesefal experimentallst. One of his most inti- mate friends was a young Englishman, who was also studying medicine. They had tastes in common and were almost tnseparable, Imbuoed with monarchical 1deas, this young man could not see in the revolatfon that men were fighting to overthrow tyranny, and after the manner of his countrymen, ke openly and boldly denounced them, = Reports of his utter- ances were carrfed to the committee of safely. He Was arrested, taken befors the dreaded Robes- pierre and sentenced to the guillotine. On the night before the execation my grandfather, who had considerable politi- cal influence, was granted permission to vleit him in his cell in the prison of La Oonclerge. The Interview was a long one. The young man—*S' we will call him—was brave and nonchalant, and, after a long metaphysfcal argument, my grandfather sald to him: ‘I have long wantod to prove If consciousness and the ability to act remain any time after death. Lot me take this proposttion: 1 will bo present and near you at your execution to-morrow; my professlon and my rela- tlon to the committee of safoty give moe unosne] privileges. The mement your head falls into the basket I will lift it up, snd if you know me and still have the power of action, you will cloze your left eye three times.’ The doomed man lighingly agreed, the compact was sealed, and the two friends bade each other an affectionate farewell. “Morning dawned on the prison, and as each victim’s number was read out he took his place In the tumbril and was carrfed to the scine of hls etecution. The young Englishman was there, so was my grindtather. Head after head fell; then came the turn of ‘S.” He placed his head beneath the knife, which flashed downward, and the head dropped into the basket. My grandfather could hard- ly repress & shudder; but true to his promise and his thrist for knowledge, ‘he picked 1t up and held the face to him. A flim seemed to be gathering over his eyes, but suddenly the left eye closed then opened, Didhis senss decelve him! No! it closed agaln. Once more it opeced; agaln 1t closed. It opened agaln, The experlment was complete, Juet then, as he was aboutto lay the head reverently down, he thought he saw & smile hover around the mouth. Thenext momect the lips parted, and in an audi- ble whisper came the words: ‘If you could only get me a wine glass full of Doufly's malt whiskey I think I could keep this up for balf an hour longer? ™ e — GENILEMAN AND BURGLAR, A Bola Thief in Milwaukee Apolo- gizes for the Intrusion, A Milwaukee dispatch ssys: Daoring the past three weeks a number of the most daring and avdacious burglaries ever known In Milwaukee have been at- tempted, although no very successful hauls have been made by the midnight iptraders. The last venture, which from its many dramatic situatlons has crpated no little excitement In the city, occurred at the residence of Charles Ray, a mil- lonaire and one of the most prominent wembers of the chamber of commerce His great house, which is located on Prospect avenue, In the arlstocratic sec- ticn of the city, s one of the most pala- tial and imposing In outer appesrance of any to be found in the northwest, and in sleganc of interior finlsh and furnlshing sxcele all others In the Cream Olty, All modern improvements are provided, even o & complete system of burglar alarms, bat the latter has not been set for opera- tion for nearly a year. Shortly after 2 o'clock Thursday morn- ng two of Mr, Ray’s servant girls were awakened by the presence of » masked THEDAILBEE---WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1885. man In thelr room. He qaletly ordered them to make no disturbance, but to show him to the tleeping apartment of Mrs. Ray, inform her that one of the servants was very 111, and thua get the door of the room opened. Mrs. Ray readily re- sponded to the trembling voice of the servant, and the Instant the door was opened the masked man, with dark-lan- tern and revolver, slipped Inside. Mr. Ray had now been awakened, but, like the other members of hls household, he found himeelf confronted with the flish of & lantern and a hungry-looking muzzle of a revolver, “'Come, Charley,” sald the Eurglar, “‘hustle out what money and valuables you have handy. I'm In a hurey,” Argument or resistance appeared use- less and Mr. Ray responded with assumed cheerfalness. When all the pockets had been emptled into the burglar's commo- dious bag, the inventory {ncluding money, Mr. Ray's gold watch and chain, bits of joweley, eto., In all about $700. *‘Char loy” wasordered to show the visitor the way to the door, that individual explain- ing that he had entered by a window, but preferred to depart llke a gentleman Sald he to Mra. Ray as ho was about to depart: ‘I beg your pardon, madam, for dis- turbing you at this late hour for the tritllng amount that I have secared, but 1t has to ba done In our busenese,” and he passed through the doorinto the dark- ness of night. He was in genteel drees, but no clew whatever can be obtained of his identity. This evening Mr. Ray said: ‘' regret I didn’t ask for his card 1 verily believe ho wonld have glven it to me,” Before entering the house the gentlemanly visltor had cat both tele- phone and polica alarm wires, so that no alarm could bs sent out by any member of the household, which was attempted by a servent while Mr. Ray was enter- taining his guest. Prince Bismarck’s Income, Prince Bismarck’s private affairs have just been investigated by the committee charged to purchase his ancestral estate of Schonhaugen, in Altmark as a national present to the prince on his seventleth birthday. The revenue of the estate of Varzln, In Pomeranis, (presented to Prince Bismarck by the nation in 1867) is nearly £2,000 a year. The great forest property of Friedrichsruhe, in Lsuenburs, was presented to the prince in 1871. The timber on the estate bring in £4,000 a year,and the farms about £1- 200. Thereutal of Schonhausen is £1,000 ayear. Prince Bismarck has erected extensive prper mills and manufactorles both at Varzin and Friedrichsruche, and these have proved very eucceesful, and briog him in nearly £10,000 pounds a year, His annual income, therefore is upward of £18,000, exclucive of his sal- ary as chancellor (£2,700 ard allow- ancae) and his pension of £450 as a for- mer minister of Lagenburg. The prince ie a most enterprising landlord, and has greatly Increased the value of his estates by judicious improvemente, He Is as “thorough” in the mosnagement of his private affairs asio his public adminis- tratlon, T Origin of Some Words, The word “*psmphlet” {s derived from the nsmo of a Greek authoress, Pamphy- lia, who complied a history of the world in thirty-five little books. *‘Panch and Judy” is a contraction from Pontius and Judar. It ia a relicof an old “‘mira- cle play,” in which the actors were Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscarlot. “Bigot” is from Vlslgotha, In which the fierce and intolerant Arianism of Visi goth, conqueror of Spaln, is handed down to infamy. “Humbog” is from Hamburg, “‘a plece of Hamburg news’ was In Germany a proverbial expression for false political rumors, *‘Gauze” de- rives its name from Gaza, where it was first made, ‘‘Tabby cat 1s all uncon- ecious that her name 1is derived from Atab, a famous street in Bagdad inhabl- ted by the manufacturers of silken stufls called atabl, or taffety, the wavy mark- ings of the watered eflks reiembling pussy’s coat. “‘Old Scratch” is the de- mon Skratti, who still survives in the superstitions of Northern Europe. *Old Nick” {s none other than Nikir, the dan- gerous water demon ¢f Scandinavian le- gend, The lemon takes its name from the city of Lima e — Inprovement on “korty Acres.” Wachington (N, C.)

Another megro has seen this and gone one better. He has been to Washiogton city recently and claims to have had a talk with Prasident Clevelind. He tells the darkles that the president authorized him to find out all the colorad men in Pltt county who voted for him, and to all such who will send him a bri- dle he will forward a mule. The mule will correspond with the bridle; the bet- ter the bridle the better the mule. The president sppofnted this ebcn-hued oifi- zen bridle collector aud mule distributor, and when the first lot of 100 bridles is sent on to Washington the mules will be forwarded, It is sald that ovea fifty bridles have so far been collected by this preclous rascal. They are new, and cost from 75 cents to $1.25 a plece, e —— Disadvantages of Patronage, New York Eveniog Post, A government for the benefit of the politiclans never ratisfies even the poli- ticlans, simply because there are never spo ough to go around. The rewult was that before its downfall the repub. lican party in almost every state was split into two or more factions, which usually fought each other more bitterly than they did the democrats. The fact that In more than one state the republi- cans are tu-day congratulating themselves upon their improved chances of viotory because they no longer have the offices to quarrel over is the most eloquent answer that could possibly be made to the plea that patronage will build up a party better than priociples, | — It Strengthens the Oalves, Boston Courier, I do not—aw— sa'd he as he withdrew the head of his cane from his mouth, “why thereshould be so much objection to—aw—rol skatlng; it | harmless amveement.” ‘‘Some physi- clans say it ss Ipjurfous to the health,” she observed as she plled ber crochet needle. ‘‘Perhaps so, he rejoined, bat —they all seem to agree in the oplolon that”—here he biusbed slightly— “that—aw—{t strengthens the calves,” **Ah! indeed,” she tald with an arch smile; *'do you feel any strorger slnce you began to skate?’ He is still won- dering what she meant by putting her questien in that form. ——— George Oraig, & former resident of Dod couaty, jumped. s homestead 1o Decatir county and was shot full of holes, GENERAL GRANT'S OASE, “Some One Has Blandered?"--Can it Be Possible?

The utter failure rightly to dlagnose and properly to treat Gen, Grant's dls- order was a serlons blunder, emph: ng what has 8o often been eaid, that pro- fes'sonal treatment, belng purely experl- mental, {s just as likely to be wrong as right.

There ars thousands of cases where dis- ease I8 hidden from sight, where the symptons are very obicure and conflict ing. The physiclans will trea’ everyday's symptons but they do not cure, and finally the patient dies. Then they dls- cover they have made a mistake! A hor- rible mistake! The other day a proml- nent merchant in a neighborlug clty was found dead Inbed. A post mortem ex- amination revealed the fact that one of his other vital organs was entirely de- csyed, and yet his physiclans had been treating him for heart dizease. Some one has blundered. For weeks the American public have been waitlng the unwelcome tldings of General Grant's death, To-day, the gen- eral Is up and around and riding out. People gat well often in spite of what their doctors tay axd do. Why! By will power? No. By faith? No. They live because outside the medical profession and medlical pretense there aro effective remedlal agencles In nature which, theugh ‘‘uarecognizad” by the code, have supreme power over diseate, and in thousands of cises win triumphs where the so called ecientlfic treatment utterly fails, A prominent ex-cabinet officer s to-day on the very verge of the grave, suffering from an extreme disorder of the liver. His doctors know they cannot care him. They simply are making dying comfor- table. The agony of death In many cascs is read by surrounding frlends in screams of pain, in convulsions of nerve, m spasms of tortare—the fixed eye, the chilly breath, the dreadful coughlng, -the bloody swent—the supreme inflictions of pltiless dlsease upon a helpless body—in- dlcate the limicatlons of professional sklll.” Seven-tenths of the deaths of this country every year are from hepstlc and renal disorders, over which physiclans have so little power. They will give this, that and the other thing to make dying cumfortable, but they know they cannot cure and yet they will not permit the use of remedies ‘‘unauthorized” by their code, whether they are allopathic or homeopathic. 1f the system, os {8 com- mon at this time of the year, hasno tone, and one has tired and depressed feelings, the doctor will tell you that the blood needs purlfying, but he will not tell you, what he knows to be true, that the blood is impure because the liver and kidneys are not performing thelr bloo3-purifying functione. Tho failure of tho physiclans in Gen. Graut's case ought to have an eye.open- ing effect npon the publlc, It ought to see the futility of trusting entirely in a profession whose practice is so largely experimental, The test of merlt is suc- cess, and when eny agency hss won a record proved by the testimony of prom- inent men and women in all ranks of soclety, It stands to resson that such a preparation s worthy of universsl con- fidence. Who has notheard of it? Who has not used it? Who can gainsay the statement that it has wrought greater benefit for mankind than anything ever dissovered inside the ranks of the med. ical profession? And yet many physician who are bound hand and foot to their code will not allow nor will they prescribs the use of Warner's Safe cure. Novertheless, spite of thelr sma'l- minded bigotry, it maltiplies Instances of its singuler merlt by thousands every day, rests eatlefied with the record it ba) won, and challenges comparison with the record of the most reputable physlcian. It is a terrible thing to lose our fclends, especlally if we find out sfterwards that they might have been saved, W e are glad that Gen, Grant is getting well. He deserves to live and in llving he will emphasize the fact that phyeiclans do not have a monopoly overdisease; that *golentific mediclne,” so called, Is not in- fallible; that all remedial agencles were not born with doctors and will not die with them, e ———— THE LIME-KILN CLUB, A Lively Session of the Ebonibsed Philosophers of Detroit.
