THE SITUATION IN MONTANA, An Interview with United States Senator-Hiect Sandera. THE ELECTION OF SENATORS, He Kxpresses the Opinion That the Sel ction of the Two Repubi Was Accomplished in a Legal Manner, Montana Politios, Hriesa, Mont., Jan, 21.—[Special Tole- gram to Tue Bee, ]—On the last-day of 1880 the republican caucus of the Montana legiss lature nominated Colonel Wilbur Fisk San ders for the office of United States seaator, ond he was elected on the following day, the first of the new year. In 1554, whon twenty years ot age, young Sanders entered the office of his uncle, Sidney KEdgerton, of Akron, O., who wns one of the most promi- nont luwyers of the western rese Ho served with the army until 1563, when his health became broken and he returned to the pructice of his profession, His uccle had been made governor of ldalo territory, and on the creation of Montana in 1304, becawe governor of that territory, Young Sanders settled in Virginia City, where he becamo prominent asa lawyer, In 1863 ho removed to Holena, It was due largely to his efforts that Montana was freed from the “‘road agents” and that the “vigilantes" succeeded ncreating a reign of law and order. Tho notorious Slade was brought to justice, and 1t was largely through young Sanders' ef- forts that the sentence of the improvised court was carried out, and the murderer of George Ives was *‘forthwith hung.” Colonel Sunders is a pronounced partizan, and is one of the readiest impromptu talkers in the country. He I8 a man of tho same type as is Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, only that he is, if possibie, a little *more so" than even that impetuous republican. He has been—perhaps it 18 not too much to say—~ the recognized leader of the republican party for twenty-five years. Ho was a momber of the territomal legislature from 1872 w187 and has been @ caodi- date for congress against the redoubt~ sble Maginnis, He is a tall, well- proportioned man of about fifty-eight years of age; his Teatures are symmetrical and his voice and manner are impressive aud oven “magnetic.” 1t is easy to see that whether by talent, by acquicoments or by native force, he will readily hold his own in the senate of the United States, and will soon become one of the leading members of that body, I have asked Senator Sanders to give u statement of the Montana political sit- uation for Ik Bek. and I give the result of tho interview in his own words: “Ishall not go to Washington for some davs, until [know precisely what the facts mllare. We have devoted some time to look- ang them up, and finding wuat aud wheco the proof is, - Montana is in 4 very bad con- ditiou, legislatively considered, and L am not in tho habit of turning my back on my state when it is in trouble. ~ As s0ou us we get the proof together we shall go to Washington, “Ihere 18 talkof & thorough investyzation and settlement of these matters hete, in which cuse | shall feel that it is my duly to ro- main, The United States senate, 1 guess, i8 N0 hungering or thirsting for our pres- cnce. And I feel further that there is no danger that anybody will get 1nto those svats ~just now; they are not like a minmng claim, 10 be given Lo the first comer. An immuta- Dble and satisfactory title, if not formaily at leust 1n substance, will be required. ““The teouble in Montana 1w serious one, and 1 have endeavored to fix it up here at home: if it could be fixed on terms consistent with self-rospect we should do it. The pri- mary cause of the trouvle is in the disregard of public opinion exhibited by men having charge of demooratic politics in Montans, and in un eagerness to get 5o many - batlots 1nto the boxes as would give the democrats a majority in the legislature. This is not the tirst offenso of the kind here; they have dono the same thing many times before, but this time they overdid 1it. When they failed, they clmmed o vested right in their own brand and their underlings uudertook to carry out the designs of their employers by misrepresentations 1u the newspapers., There was no hope of carrying the state for the democratic party except by introducing into it & large numtar of persons who were not entitled t vote, and this was done. Some of these persons were half-breeds, and the most of them were Italians, Hungarians and others who were not qualified to vote under the laws of Montuna, were votod by their employers, at least 5,000 of them all over tho state, but mostly in Deer Lodge and Silver Bow counties. “The Silver Bow democratic delegation ‘was beaten in the vote by at least five huo- dred. On the merits of the case, thero was no member on the democratio ticket who carried Silver Bow county. The will of the peopls was overridden aud their rights were trodden under foot by the votes of at least & thousand who had no right to vote at all, and who, in aadition to being disqualified as wvoters had no permauncnt interest in Silver Bow county, but they were brought thera for tomporary and specific purposes withoat any intention to rewain after that vote was accomplished. There were more than one thousand five hundred of such votes cast in Silver Bow county. Jt would be wrong to say thut the democrats cast all these, but they cast at least two-thirds and probably four fths of them. *The represeutations of the democratic press that the canvassing board of Silver Bow county, or of the state were actuatod by purtisan reasons in the actions is grossly unjust to the two conmissioners of Silvor Bow county who rejected the papers par- porting to be the returns of precinot 34 They are two of our oldest snd most honor- able citizens: men of large personal fortune; coutrolling interests that are very important aud without political ambition furtber than a desiro to huve good government in the state in which they live. Their ofticial action was absolutely non partisan, lesning if at all toward the democratic party with which * they were not in -:m};-my. T'his Is shown by * their counting as lawful votes those cast in gmcmcb No. 8 in their county, where .the lemocrats had & majority of 68, when the missioners had no returns whatever be- re them, and had to gather the number of Wotes cast from a tally-sheet, lustead of from the election returns, There was no question but that the votes had boen cast llg raons who were entitled to vote. Althoug| hey had no right to do so in law, the com- missioners insisted on counting the votes. Had they rejected the preciuct, as there was ‘was every authority for downg, it would have elected every republican member of the leeislature from Silver Bow county, ex- et tho statesonator, I Lave no doubt from what I have seen that there were from i to 40 republican votes east in precinet 34, aithbugh only threo republican votes were roturned. ‘The governor, chief justice and sagrutary of the weeriiory were men of e bighest integrity, Less than one year ago a republican logiss lature in Montans passed two laws —a regis- tration law and a law providiug for votlug by the Australian system—but for which tho republicuns would have been completely suowed under. ‘That legslature of one year 0, Wi# tho firet republican legislature over electea in Motana.

No dewoorat in the THE OMAHA DAILY BE UARY 189¢ 22, United States senate has ever rocognized the principles on whioch Mr. Clark acd Mr, Ma- glmn\l claim the validity of their election. 0 republican has ever recognized such principles. The demeoratic claim that & person may obtain a prima facie right to sit in and help organize a house of reprosenta- tives, when the tribunal appointed by law to determine the result of the election has de- clared and certified that they were beaten, and bas given the seat to somebody elas, is absurd. We claim that when the tribunal appointed by the law has deter- mined that a person is elocted, and has given him evidence of that fact, he is entitled prima facle to a seat in the legislature, and to assist in the organization, and that if the detormination was wrongful the remoc by contesting the seat in tho house after it is organized, and not by anarchy and chaos, which scoms to have come o us now. “Having examined the record of the con- troversies in the United States senate, I am convinced that our title to seats 1 that body is perfectly good.” D. C B, OMAHA FROPOSED IT. Comments on the Jealons Action of Cerrain Lincolnites, OMAIA, Jan. 21.—To the Editor of Tur Bre: I discoverea today while at Lincoln that they are deeply interested in and agi- tated over what is of inportance to, and should concern, Omaha alone. The Lincoln State Journal started tae discussion by pub- tishing a half cclumn editorial headed “A Needed Reform," in which the policy of the Methodist church is peedlessly assailed and the church officials criticised because the genoral conference was located at Omaha. We receive the editor's sympathy in tho fols lowing words: “*The Journal is led to make these remarks because of tne demand of the churcn offi- cials upon the city of Omaha for the sum of $65,000 to care for and subsist the 600 dele- gates that are expected to attend the moet- ing of the general conference in thet town, in default whereof they threaten to move tho conference to a location tuat will sub- scribo the money.” Mr. Stein, in" another prominent daily, emphasizes and enlarges upon the Journal's article, while the church is ably defended oy Cbancellor Creighton of the Wesleyan uni- versity, who also tenders us his sympathy as follows: ‘‘The church officials make no demand upon the city of Omaha for $5,000. T'hey accepted Omaha's invitation, and will not go if they find that Omaba is likely to want £05,000 more than the general confercnco. “That body will bring thousands of visitors, and is worth more financially than a stato fair. Omana waats it, aud Omaha ought to put up or give up. We believe she will como to time, but it will take her about twice as long as it _ would have ~taken Lincoln, and I move that if the poor brethren up there get stuck that we put on a flyer and entertamn a hun- dred or 8o in Lincoln." It seoms strange that Omaha cannot issue an invitation and hava it accepted without this excitement at Lincoln; that they should Liave the bad taste to fizure up the costto us of our guests, and that they should intimate that we would recall an invitation once is- sued. The well known facts all over the world—Lincoln excepted—are that “our eiti- zens” and not the Mothodist church asked the members of the general couference to come here in 1802 and remain a month as our guests. ‘They accepted, commenting upon our hospitality; for all other cities hereto- fore had permitted the church to pay for the entertainment of each delegate which it sent as its representative, No citizen of Omaha has said or intimated that we would be unable to entertain tho conference well or that we would not do 1t heartily or enthusiastically. At a recent meeting of the business men to take action in regard to the matter, thero was the most porfect unanimity ot feeling. One gentle- man only raised a question of doubt, and in- stantly tiventy men were on their feet to reply to him. His simple query was: Could our hotels accommodate the hundred thou nd visitors liable to come here during the sossion of. the conference? At this citizens’ meeting, General Lowe, on behalf of the Col- iseum management, unsolicited, tendercd free the use of that building for the thirty days. Bishop Newiman and Rev. Roe reported on- tertainment offered by the churches of Omaha for at least 350 of the 550 delegates. "This would leave 200 for the citizens’ com- mittee to entertain, and since the gentlemen of Lincolu will insist upon figures, means 15,000 for thirty days in Omaha or $5,000 for the same time in Lincoln. A committes, of which General Cowin is chairman, wilt place in Bisliop Newman'’s hands, before he goes eastnext mounth, u guaranteed invitation to ihe conference to moet here; for, in astonishuient at Omaha's liberality, the conference said, 1n substance, “If you mean it we will come, but if you find we will be burdensome to yon we will go to o larger aity.” But Omaba does wot do things that way! Omaha would not be Omaba if she did.

GaLvesToN, Tex., Jan, 21.—A tragedy was enacted in the court house here today in which Kyle Terry, a aephew of the late Judge David Terry, was instantly killed and two men badly wounded. The killiug was the outcome of the Fort Bend torubles, which resulted some time ago in such s Dbloody battle between citizens. Some months ago Terry, who was a tax assossor 1n Fort Bend county and a member of what is known as the Woodpecker party, had trouble with the three Gibson boys, all mombers of the Jay Hird party. One of the Gibson brothers was killed by Terry. When the case came up for trial Torry got a change of venue to Galveston county, as dia Judgo Parker, who is charged with the murder of & negro ' woman during the Richmond riot, whicn it is claimed was ineited by him. Soon after 10 o'clock this morning Kyle Terry, his brother, Captain Terry of Cali- forniu, Judge Parker, Judge Weston, Dr, Galoand some others entered the court house, As Torry turned towards tho stairs a shot was fired and Terry fell dead. There was & momeut's lull and then four or five shots were fired from daifferent directions. Judge Weston of Fort Hend county and Heury Pittle of Gulveston were seriously wounded, g ‘Witnesses say three men did the shooting naming them as Vol Gibson, who xillod »’l‘erri ‘and wuose brotner ‘Perry had killed ; 3;"5 Ragsdale, and young Mitohell, all Jay rds, Immediatoly after the shooting six men were arrested, imcluding Vol Gibson. - ATERRIBLE KOUGH VOYAGE.

The troubl that people wake me up atall times during the vight, wanting it for croup.” INGERSOLL'S PHILOSOPHY, Pinching Poverty the Prolific Sonrce of Crime. ALsaxy, N. Y., Jan, 21.—Before the ninth annual convention of the State Bar associa tion Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll delivered the address upon the subject ‘‘Crimes Against Criminals,” jn which at the outset he showed that punishment by torture and death have failed to abate crime. Jrimes were committed,” said he, “‘to punish orimes aud crimes were done w prevent orimes. It is safc to say governments have committed far moro crimes than they have prevented.” He said: “We know the dis- cuses of the flesh and blooa are transmitted from one generation to another. Are the discases of the brain, the deformities of the 8oul or mind also transmitted! 1 am per- fectly satistied there are millions of peoplo incapable of committing certain crimes and it may be true there are millions more incapable of practicing certain vir- tues. We dont't blame a man because ho is hot & sculptor, a poet, a painter or o states - man, *'We say he has not the genius. Are we certain it does not roquire geuius to bo good " “Tf wo are to change the conduct of men we must change their conditions. “lxtremo poverty and crime go hand in hand., *Tenements and flats and rented lands are in my judgment enemies of jcivilization. They put a few in palaces aud many in pris- ous.” Coming down to the question of what can be done for the reformation of a criminal he said ho should be treated with kinaness. very right should be given him consistent with tho safety of socicty. Ho should neither be degraded nor robved. Why should the state take without compen- sauon the labor of criminals, and why should they, after haviog veen imprisoned for years, be turned out without the moans of support. Would it not be far better to pay these men for their lavor, lay aside their earnings, put this monoy at interest so that when a convict is reloased he will have not merely enough to pay his way pack to the place from which bhe' was nt, ut enough to keep the wolf of crime ffom the door of his heart!” Referring to the question, what shall be done with the habitual crimioal, the speaker “Put one thousand thieves on an . Compel them .to produce what they eat and the larze majority would be opposed to theft, P'm certain such_a com- munity would be self-supporting. Keep the sexos absolutely apart, Those who are be- vond the power of reform should mot have liberty to reproduce themsclves. They should dwell apart and dying leave no heirs. ‘The death penalty inflicted by & government is u perpetual excuse for mobs. The greatest danger to the public is the mob, and as long as_ states inflict the doath penalty mobs will follow their exam~ e. In closing Colonel Ingersoll said : ance, filth and poverty are the missionaries of crime. As long as dishonorable success outranks honest effort, as long as society bows and cringes beforo great thieves, there will be little ones enough w fill the jails,” —— = Charged With Murder. LAPAYETTR, Ind., Juu. 21.—Mrs. Emma Whitehead, a wealthy widow living near this city, was placed in jail today charged jointly with Rev. W. F'red Petitt with mur- der in the first degrée, Petitt, it. will bo ro- membered, was wrrested at Columbus, O., in December, charged with the murder of his wife last July by poisoning. “Ignor- Gialidsni, Endorsed Chicago.

Yesterday was a great day for defendants in the police court, Five prisoners were discharged on account of ‘‘arrangements'’ being made by someone, the court was at a loss to know who. Ollie Cumiston was discharged because the prosecution could not prove that she had used loud, profane or any other boisterous language. Jack Shannon, Mike McGuire and John Russell wore not prosecuted becauss tho prosecuting witness, for some mysterious reason, failed to appear. The case had becn called and continued several times, P, H. Allen, the grocer, several days ago had one of his mou arrested, who gave the name of Clinton Bisho) The ohargze was embezzling $5.

Thero wero some changea noticeable, t00, inside the rail that soparates the council from the common herd. The seat atthe right of the chale in which digaified, natty Mr., Webster was wont to sit and blow rings of cigarette smoke while mnot serving the council, was oconpled by City Attorney Poppleton, who apparently took all of theuterest of a novice in the procecdings. In the chair from which General Smith used to lot his legs hang over the council rail Assistant Attorney Shoe- maker took his firat official lesson. Over near the grate, where Captain Kent's barren dome of thought used ao reflect the glare of the electric light, his portly successor, Jimmy Flaunery, tried v keep track of the matters that were referred to the stroet commissioner. At Flannery’s right sat the new plumbing inspector, Major Dennis, The major felt his oficial diguity, Tho bonds of the new city officials were presented and approved. Tho amounts and surcties were as follows: G. W, Tillson, city engiveer, 25,000, L. S. Reed, G. M. Hitehcock und Clark Woodman; George C. Whitlook, building inspector, £3,000, John A. Wakefield, D. T.

Tho council, he said, had rejected one appointee for the position and had approved Dennis' application at the same meeting, while: the charter provides that when ono appolutment is rojected by the council the mayor cannot name_another man for the place for & month. City At- torney Poppleton offerod tho opinion that the councii could .set upon two ap- pointments for the same office if they were prasented at the same meeting. The opinion was accepted by the council and the major became more dignified than ever when his bond was unanimously approved. Frank H, Tuttle wuas appointed by the mayor as his private secretary, at a salary of $100 per month. The contracts and bonds of the Reese Prmting company, for lithographing; tho Republican. Printing company, for furnish- ing stationery and office supnlies; George A. Hoagland, for lumber, were approved by the council. City Attorney Poppleton’s first communi- cation to the council was a recommendation that Beard & Otis’ patition for a cancellation of taxes be not allowed. The recommenda- tion was approved. Mr. Poppleton’s next communication was a recommendation, which was approved by the councii, that @ number of judges and clerks who served the ofty at the last gen- orai election bo allowed pay, notwithstand- inF they were paid by the school board and others for whom they acted. On the city attorney’s recommendation the petition of the Masonic Temple craft for a cancellation of taxes under the plea that the property was owned by a charitable institu- tion, was rejected. The city attorney also reported that, in his opinion, the pay for the sidewalk around Jefferson square should be paid.outof the general fund. Mr. Lowry was opposed to the adoption of the report, as it would entail on the council the cost of the street im- provements around Hanscom park. On his motion the report was referred to the com- mittee on sidewalks and bridges. ‘The petition of the Omaha Fair associa- tion for en exemption from taxes, on the ground that the property is used exclusively for agricultural purposes, was denied, on the recommendation of the city attorney. Senator Manderson was appointed a delo- gate to the American Shipping and Indus- trial league to be held in Washington on February 5, 6 and 7. A petition for a sewer on Eighteenth street, ffom Mason to Leavenworth, was re- ferred to the committee on sewers. The claim of B. F. Baker for $108.85 for services as superintendent of the city hall was referred to the city attorney. A resolution of the Central labor union asking the council to order the construction of three market houses at a cost of $150,000 was referred the committee on public property and builaings, A resolution was introduced by Mr, Shriver uproln!lnk Edward Taylor, George Jones and Heory Danne as assistants to the alumhlun inspector. Mr. Bechel wanted to now if the men were needed. Mr, More- arty made his maiden speech protesting ainst tho appointments, claiming that the plumbing inspector bas a right to employ his own assistants.

The gentleman invited & number of well known mon for the purpose of confere- ing with his guest, Mrs. Jeannetto Thurber, as to the best means of placing the national conservatory of music of America upon o permanent basis, says the Star. Muajor Powell, director of the geological survey, was called to the chair ana Mr. Anthony Pollock acted as secretary. Mr. Hubbard stated the object of the meoting and then invited Mrs. Thurber to make a statement with regard to the foundation, present con- dition and prospects of the institution. After an interesting, di jon, i which nearly all those present pa pated, a preamble and resolutions offered by Prof. Langley, secrotary of the Smithsonian iustitution, were unanimously adopted. The preamble sot forth that “the national conserva- tory of music is a corporation organized under the general law of the state of New York, which is and has been in succossful operation for a sulicient number of years test thoroughly its usefulness, having given musical edu- cation to a great muny persons from all parts of the United States and secured to them the means of honorable subsist- ence. if not of fame and fortune;” that it _is proposed to extend the sphere of usefulness of the conservatory and to place it upon a permanent busis by the establishment of a national maintenance fund,”” and that *'it is the sense of this meeting thay, in view of the great ad- vantages which will acerue to our peo- sle by oroviding the proper means for leveloping musical culture among the gifted, every encouragoment and aid should bo extended to the proposed ex- tension and permunent establishment of sad conservatory.” It was there- fore resolved: 1. That a permanent national com- mittee be constituted whose duties shall be to_provide ways and means for rais- ing throughout the United States funds for carrying out the object and pur- pose of the resolutions adopted January 8, 1890, by the board of trustees as aforesaid, 2. That said committee shall be com- posed of tho following persons: Jean- nette M. Thurber, John Chandler Bun- croft, John Hay, Gardiner G. Hubbard, Samuel P. Langley, Anthony Pollock and Jokn W. Powell, any vacancies by resignation or death to be filled by the remaining trustees. 8. That the committee shall enter upon the discharge of 1ts duties as soon as two of its members shall have been elected trustees and e of them a member of the executive committee of said institution. 4. That when, in the opinion of the committee, u favorable opportunity shall present itself for obtaining recog- nition at the hands of congress and the government of the uscfulness and na- tional importance of the institution it (the said committee) may take prover measures to sccure congressional aid and action and to obtain appropriations or subsidies for scholarship or for the incorporation of the conservatory into any of the departments ol the govera- ment. After the adoption of the resolution Major Powell and Mr. Hubbard were designated as the members of the na- tional committee which are to go on the bourd of trustees of the national con- servatory of music of America. e = Don’t Exprrimeat with tha Throat and lungs.

They are always hungry, and, as a rule, are enormous eaters, writes Max Maretzek in the Phila phia Times. Shall I give you one or two instances in point? Yes? Well, here goes. Chris- tine Nilsson was a lig eater, but she put on airs about her food, but on one occasion when she was under Stra- kosch’s management and I was musical director she had to eat what she could get. Wae were en route from Cincinnati to Buffalo. On the road about half way, I got out and bought a big sausage and o loaf of rye bread, und when the train moved out again I began to eut it with quiet relish. Nilsson, who sat almost ufposnc. turned around with a grimace ef disgust on her face. “Who is eating garlic, or sausage, or something?” she asked bitterly. ‘*Bah!” And she took out three or four flagons and sprinkled the perfume all overthe car, ‘‘Couldn’t you wait till we got to Buffalo. Must You buy such awful stuff? You knew Strakosch had ordered dinner at Buf- falo. But you couldn’t wait, You had to buy that awful sausage and make me sick!” Nilsson continued in_ this strain for a short time. I put the rest of my sausage into my pocket, I apologized, 1 folt rather sheepish. Now it happened that just as we were a few hours from Buffalo a freight train broke down, and we were hemmed in. Everybody was excited. We wouid be late. We were hnnzrfr. At about 10 o'clock I fell asleep. I had eaten ana was comfortable. The others were not. t about2 o’clock in the morning I felt a touch on my arm, I rubbed my eyes, stretched, - **Who is it? 'What’s the matter?” “Hush! it’s I, Max. It's Christine. Say, Mux, I'm awfully hungry. J'al diablement faim! Can’t you let me have that. bit of sausage I saw you put into pour ket yesterday. Do let me have it, Max!” Imagine a *‘goddess” eating bologna—but she did it and with relish. Adelina Patti, too, hasa big Bg[mflw and wherewith to gratify it. She was but three years old when I first saw her, and came now and then to concerts where her mother sang. I re- member one day when ‘‘Norma” was played. Patti Barili sang “Norma,” Amalia Patti sang **Adalgisa” and lit- tle Adelina Pattisangone of the babies, Five or six years later, when Jenny Lind was all the rage, Adelina knew almost all her songs, One day I bad a rehearsal for a concert in Tup- ler hall, where the grand Central hotel now stands. I suggested to Patu Bsarti to let little Adelina sing a few songs of Lind’s. She overheard me, “Will I get a hatful of bon-bons if T go and sing, Mr. Max?” *Yes,” said L When the svening of the concert came and the time for little Adelina to go on arrvived, 1 had forgotten all about the bon-bons, The girl had not forgotten them. *“Where are my cundies, Mr, Max?” Isaid I had forgotter them, I would give them to her the next dayr No, she wouldn’t go on without those bon-bons, I was in despair. Thecandy stores were all closed. Finally [ ran to @ neighboring hotel, where the pastry cook gave me some of the sweets that were as necessary then to make Patti go on and sing as checks proved neces- sary in later years. T returned, and Adelina took the candies. **Hold them for me, mamma,” said she, and on she wentandsang. This was in 1858, and I think this was Adelina Patti’s first ap- pearance. alin s Giady Hoston Giels. The behavior of some well-dressed aud apparently well-brought-up young women in the streev ears is shocking, says the Boston Courier. Not only do shey talk and laugh in o loud & man- ner, but they make personal remarks in an always audible voice about the other passengers, They start insipient flirtations with any decent looking young man who may bo witling to no- tice them, and generally conduct them- solves as no well-regulatod woman should. Tt is true that they mean no harm; their loudness 1s only healthy good vature; but they subject them- selves to the penalty of being misundor- stood. Such girls would be shocked it any man they had noticed should ven- ture to accost them, and yet their beha- vior has been little loss than an invita- tion. It is to the credit of the young men of Boston that they realize, as a rule, that stray looks and smiles are only intended for n joke, and that they rarely encronch by prosuming to ab- tempt to make an acquaintance. Some day these thoughtless girls will bo rudely awakened to the fact that their conduot_has been, to say the least, un- diguified; for an Englishman—or, in- deed, any foreigner—would not hesitate to treat a wowun who should conduct herself as many & Boston giri doos in public, with scant respect, and would consider he had a right' to go any lengths with hor. - spasms, St. Vitus dance, nervousness rin aro soon cured by Dr. Miles' o.
