How the Plumed Knight Over- whelmed Proctor Knott—The Oration on Garfleld’'s Death. The public life of James G. Blaine was | crowded with dramatic situations. but in three of his speeches may be found pas- which may be said to have marked so | sras in his eventful career, says the ; New York Mail and Express. Atan ear! Blaine entered Congress and there t met Roscoe Conkling. It was in 1865 | that the historic tilt between the two men | occurred on the floor of the House, when | laine made the scathing rejoinder which evered for life every relation between the 1wo men, and probably prevented both from attaining the Presidency. The ori- | ginal point of the debate concerned | And with some sense of humiliation, with a mortification that I do not pretend to conceal, with a sense of outrage which I think any man in _my position would feel, I invite the confidence of forty-four mil- lions of my countrymen while 1 read these letters from this desk.” 4 He read the letters, one by one, and his explanation of each showed that there was nothing whatever in their contents to in- criminate him. But his victory was not yet complete. Turning to Proctor Knott, chairman of the investigation committee, he demanded that he produce a cablegram from Josiah Caldwell, who was in Europe, but knew all the facts in_connection with the charges made against Blaine in relation to the raiiroad bonds. Knott was covered with confusion, and weakly inquired how Blaine knew that such a message had been received. ; < Then the latter, advancing toward Knott's desk, and towering menacingly above him, diréctly charged the chairman with having received from Caldwell a cable message which completely exoner- ated Blaine from the cruel cnarges, and that he, Knott, had deliberately suppressed it. Knott could not deny or reply, and for full fifteen minutes the hall rang with the cheers of both Republicans and Democrats, for even the latter could not but admire the dash and intrepidity of Blaine’s masterly defense and the com- plete confusion and rout of his enemies. GARFIELD EULOGIZED. A later trinmph of oratory was under far different auspices. The attack upon Conkling in 1865 was often regretted by its author, as undignified and unworthy of the speaker, and ascribed to the impetu- osity of youth. The asperities and per- sonalities of political strife in the House JAMES G. BLAINE. General J. B. Fry and his relations with | the Department of War, Conkling having | tacked General Fry and the Maine Con- | gressman having warmly defended him. The question recurred on three succeed- | ing days, each day accumulating fresh bit- | terness of feeling. Conkling’s manner | throughout it all was irritating and over- | bearing in the extreme, until at the close Blaine’s genial temper quite gave way and | the incident was closed by the following fierce argumentum ad hominem: “ As to the gentleman’s cruel sarcasm, I | hope he will not be too severe. The con- tempt of that large-minded gentleman is s0 melting, his haughty disdain, his grand iloquent swell, Lis majestic, supereminent, overpowering, v-gobbler strut. have | been so crushing to myself and all the | members of this House, that I knew it was ; an act of the greatest temerity for me to | venture upon a controversy with him.” Referring to a chance newspaper com- parison of Mr. Conkling to Henry Winter Davis (which he interpreted satirically), Mr. Blaine continued: | “The gentleman took the comparison | seriously ana it has given his strut addi- | tional pomposity. The resemblance is in- deed great, it is indeed striking, Hyperion | to a satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble, dung-hill to diamond, a singed cat to a2 Bengal tiger, a_whining puppy to | a roaring lion. Shade of the mighty Davis, | forgive the almost profanation of that jocose satire.” Conkling sat silent under the scourge, but_he never noticed Blaine thereafter during the twenty years of the former’s life, nor even mentioned the name of his hated rival, though serving with him for | Vvears in both houses of Congress. Blaine, however, cherished no such bitter antag- onism and was willing at any time to make such overtures toward reconciliation as could be made with dignity and honor. While Blaine was the Republican candi- date for President in 1884 friends strove to bring about a reconciliation between the two leaders. At that time Mr. Blaine said to the peace-makers that he would be happy to invite Mr. Conkling to be the zuest of honor at the finest dinner he zould arrange, if they could assure him | that the invitation would be accepted. The | committee departed, but were unable there- after to give Mr. Blaine the desired as- surance. PROCTOR KXNOTT CRUSHED. The most thrilling episode in Blaine's political career was his notable defense of his character in the House of Representa- tives in 1876, after having been charged with dishonesty in the matter of obtaining certain railroad bonds, the matter having become the object of investigation and ersecution by a Democratic committee. he plot was to break down Blaine in the Republican National Convention, then about to assemble. One Mulligan had ob- tained a package of Blaine’s private letters, which he was about to bring befere the committee, and it was given out that their effect would be to blacken Mr. Blaine's reputation beyond hope of restoration. n an interview with Mulligan, Blaine secured the letters by force, and the next day made in the House of Rep- resentatives what was probably the most remarkable speech of his life. One by one he took up the charges and demolished them. Aroused to flaming anger by the malevolence of the attacks upon his repu- tation, he spared not his enemies in the shriveling heat of his righteous indigna- tion. He proved by conclusive argument that his private letters could not be sub- penaed by the investigating committee for use against him. The climax of the dramatic scene was reached when Blaine, advancing to the desk of the House, con- tinued : “Now, Mr. Speaker, I bave defied the power of the House to compel me to pro- duce these letters. I speak with all re- spect to this House. I know its powers, and Itrust I respect them. ButIsay this House has no more power to order what shall be done or not done with my private cor- respondence than it has with” what I shall do_in the nurture and education of my children; not a particle. The right is as sacred in one case as it in the other. But, sir, having vindicated that right, standing by it, ready to make any sacrifice in de- fense of it, here and now, if any gentleman wishes to take issue with me on behalf of the House, I am ready for any extremity or contest in behalf so sacred a right. Now, while I am so I am not afraid to | not to show the leiters. Thank God Almighty, I am not afraid to show them. There they are. There is the very original package. were far in the past. As Senator and Secretary of State, Blaine had more fully developed his great qualities of brain and Leart, and moved in the serene calm of lofty statesmanship and acknowledged greatness. When Garfield fell by the bullet of the assassin, Blaine was at his friend’s side, and through all his linger- ing suffering the Secretary of State was | like a brother in the tenderness of his watchiul care. When the end came and the people were bowed in mourning, it is ge wondered at that it was to the Secretary of State that all turned to have him pronounce before the houses of Con- gress, the President and his Cabinet, the Supreme Court and representatives of foreign nations, the eulogy upon the martyred President. How tenderly, how gracefully, how elo- quently the task was performed all re- member. It set a new standard in eulogium, and revealed depths of his nature and a vein of poetry and imagina- tion which had never before manifested itself so publicly. His peroration, after describing the removal of the stricken President from Washington to Elberon, was as follows: “Gently, silently, the love of a great people bore the pale sufferer to the longed- for healing of the sea, to live or to die, as God should will, within sight of its heav- ing billows, within sound of its manifold voices. With wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to the cooling breeze, he looked out wistfullv upon the ocean’s changing won- ders; on its far sails, whitening in the morning light; on its restless waves, roll- ing shoreward, to break and die beneath the noonday sun; on the red clouds of evening, arching low to the horizon; on the serene and shining pathway of the stars. Let us think that his dying eyes read a mystic meaning which only the rapt and parting soul may know. Let us believe that in the silence of the receding world he heard the great waves breaking upon a farther shore, and felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the eternal morning.” Scrextiric Martyrs.—If soldiers are to be turned into scientifie martyrs their | military ardor 1s likely to be damped accordingly., Last year a doleful story came from Germany of the plight of a regiment that had been put for some weeks on a diet of peanut flour, They were so reduced and weakened mentally and physically that they would have de- serted if they had had the energy to do so. The diet was submitted to for several days stoically, but even a German soldier will turn, and the experiment was con- cluded just in time to avert an outbreak of insubordination. The troops at Fort Logan must be able to sympathize with the unfortunate Teutons. In testing the new emergency ration prescribed by the War Department one company went out for three days of forced ~march- ing in the foothills loaded with coffee tablets and compressed soup, which were supposed to take the place of bard tack and coffee. During the test the medical officer, who is charged with watching and weighing the men, rode into the nearest town ior assistance. Thirty-six out of the fifty men were down with griping pains resulting from the non- assimilation of the scientific ration. The order could not be revoked and the men in the field were informed that they would have to remain on the march for two days longer. —_———— A STRANGE METHOD OF ARTIFICIAL Res- PIRATION.—Dr. Barthold Beer advocates the following method of artificial respiration: The mucous membrane of the lips and of the mouth is rubbed slowly with a piece of ice, the rhythm of the motion correspond- ing as nearly as possible to that of normal respiration. Dr. Beer has noticed that the inevitable result of the treatment was the return of respiration, at first in very pro- nounced form, but becoming, on the con- tinued application of the ice, very regu- lar, quiet and deep. Ice used in this way has also a general sedative effect, and its quieting action has been successfully turned to account in the treatment of cere- bral troubles. Dr. Foges of Vienna has obtained equally favorable results with this treatment in cases of asphyxia. It is very much to the advantage of this method that it may be employed for several hours at a time, and is harmless for the patient and easy for the physician, SWEDENBORGIAN CHURCH, Fifth Annual Meeting of the Societies of the Pacific Coast. NEED OF MISSIONARY WORK. General Growth Reported—Life of the Church Paper Is Threatened. The fifth annual convention of the Swedenborgians of this coast was opened yesterday in tneir little stone church on O’Farrell street, near Buchanan. Delegates from seven of the eleven soci- eties in California and Oregon were pres- ent, and also many visitors and members of the church in this City. One of the most important matters that came up for consideration was the means of maintaining one or more missionaries on this coast. All agreed as to the advisabil- ity of having some one to take regular charge of such work, particularly in the Northwest. Southern California also is a field in which the churchmen believe that there is a promising opening for the ex- tension of their work. The Swedenborgian church was organ- ized 1n London in 1783, and slowly and gradually cxtended over England, Ger- many and America until to-day it has a general membership of 20,000. ! There are about 7000 members in America, and the church 1 the country is probably stronger than elsewhere, being particularly well established in the New England States. In August, 1889, the Pacific New- Church was started on this coast, and has had regular growth to a membership of about 700. The policy of the church is to discard all traditions and mere human au- thority, and to teach the doctrines of Scrip- ture as expounded in the writings of Eman- uel Swedenborg, the Swedish philosopher and expounder of religious doctrines, who lived in the seventeenth century. The convention was opened at half-past 10 o’clock, with services conducted by the Rev. B. Edmiston of Riverside, who read the 103d psalm. Credentials of delegates showed the fol- lowing complete roll: First New Jerusalem Society of San Fran- cisco—Judge R. R. Provines, T. P, Valleau, A. W. Manning, George H. Saunders, Miss Alice d’Arcy, E. W. G. Harford, Mrs. L. Carpenter, Mrs. M. L. Pierce, L. C. Louderbeck, V. A. de Prosse, Mrs J. Doughty, Rev. F. L. Higgins, Mrs. F. L. Higgins, Dr. M. F. Underwood, Mrs. L. D. Latimer. San Francisco Society of the New Jerusalem— Captain Oliver Eldridge, J. Mills, Dr. W. Boercke, Mrs, Elviza Hutchings, Mrs. F. S. Butler. Alameda—Miss Mary Shepherd, Miss Sara 8. Crittenden, Mrs. G. Berkmeyer. Riverside—The Rev. B. Edmiston, Mrs. B, Edmiston, M. B. Ogden. San Jose—Mr Iva Burr, J. C. Black. Los Angeles—Dr. Samuel Worcester, Mrs. Samuel Worcester. Portland—The Rev. J. 8. David. Dr. Joserh Worcester, presideut of the society, delivered during the morning ses- sion an address in which he reviewed the spiritual work of the church in relation to the reform movements of the world. Then followed this resolution, offered by the Rev. J. E. Mills of this City. It was much discussed and finally adopted unanimously : Resolved, That every subject of human con- cern is datk on one side until the light of re- vealed truth shines upon it. Resolved, That it is the work of the church to throw the light of revealed truth upon every subject of vital concern to men. Reports from the different societies showed uniform growth and hopefulness in the work of the church throughout the coast. A communication from tfie society at Portland, Or., asked for the extension of their pastor’s field and some financial aid from the general fund toward his maintenance. The mention of this subject bronght on the discussion of the day. Dr. Higgins said that there is not another field in America_so é)romising as the Northwest for the New Churcn; that in Oregon and Washington the people seem receptive of the doctrines of the church—at least, they will give them a hearing. Every one apreed that there should be @ coast mis- sionary, and Dr. Worcester thought that a missionary or several mussionaries could be maintained if the members of all the societies would make provision for them as parents do for additions to their fami- lies. He said that the trouble with nine- tenths of the church people of this coast is that they are trying to get something for nothing. A committee of five was appointed to consider the financial possibilities of the missionary question and to report at the concluding session of the conference on Monday. An amendment to the constitution of the chureb, offered at the last conference, held in Februl?, 1894, was declared adopted. It provided for a president, a vice-presi- dent, a secretary, a treasurer and a board of nine directors for the Pacific Coast New- Church. A nominating committee con- sisting of one person from each of the seven societies represented was appointed to report Monday upon officers for the en- suing year. The Rev. B. Edmiston of Riverside read a paper at the afternoon session in which he outlined the character of work that it is the duty of the church to undertake. He said that corfmrations and trusts unless restrained will battle down the bulwarks of American institutions; that the church should take up the reform measures, for the politicians wont; that the men who build cnurches and found colleges to re- lieve their consciences will not come down from their dizzy heights to sound the alarm; that corrupt practices in business orin any other department of life should be exposed, and that to teach general truth is to expose falsity and untruth. The report on the “New-Church' Pacific,”” the monthly published by the church on this coast, showed that it is just about holding its own against expenses. J. E. Mills characterized the paper as editorially weak and unrepresentative of the vigor and life of the church on this coast, and asked that it be discontinued, as the church had other papers that are representative, and this one was unneces- sary. The matter was deferred until Monday. The evening session was devoted to an informal social in the church. This morning’s service will be held in the O’Farrell-street church, and the sermon will be delivered by the Rev. B. Edminston of Riverside. Immediately after the morn- ing service, the holy communion will pe observed. This evening Dr. Worcester will conduct the services. GOINGS ON IN ELECTRICITY, ErrcrriciTY IN DENTISTRY.—The annual meeting of the American Dental Associa- tion, which has just been held at Asbury Park, N. J., is notable from the fact that it gave a greater prominence to subjects in- volving the application of electricity than has been the custom in such gatherings. Probably the most remarkable paper read before the convention was that of Dr. H. W. Gillette on the “Electro-therapeutics of Obtunding Sensitive Dentine.” Fora long time dentists have been trying to reach some method by which the teeth conld be perfectly anesthetized or benumbed. In using cocaine there has been a difficulty in securing more than a surface deadening of the tissue, and when electricity was usea to drive in the anesthetic the currents used were so heavy as to be distressing and painful to the patient, for the reason that no instrument haa been made that was capable of administering a current sufficiently weak for tne purpose. Even if a patient could bs brought to bear . the initial current, the passage from one‘ step to another, as the voltage was in- creased to the point of becoming effective for anesthetic purposes, was accompanied by a_ jerking, jumping sensation that few people had the nerve to endure. Dr. Gil- lette described a new instrument in which this difficulty has been entirely overcome. It consists of a nickel-vlated cylinder, 16 inches high and 6 inches in diameter at the base. Onthetopof thecylinder is a switch for turning the current on and off, and an index which enables the operator to have always under his eye the exact voltage with which he is operating. The delicacy of the instrument may be judged from the fact that a gradation of current as fine as one-thousandth of a volt can be given. Supposing that it is intended to subject a tooth to excavation, a process the ‘mere mention of which brings back the memory of moments of keenest torture to those who have had to | undergo it. An electrode, shaped like a claw, is fitted at its approaching points with small rubber cups. These cups hold cotton, which has been saturated with cocaine. The electrode is inserted in the mouth aud the rubber cups close on either side of the gum in which the teeth to be influenced are set. The current is turned on so gradually that the patient cannot feel it. “The strength is slowly increased, | not by jerks. but with a smooth, wavelike | action. ~ From the one-hundredth of a volt | the register shows one-fiftieth, one-twenty- fifth, one-tenth, one volt, and then on to five, ten and probably twelve volts. This takes from one to five minutes, according to the resistance of the patient, and the tooth is then ready for the operation. It can be extracted, éxcavated, or the nerve | can_be extirpated, without the patient feeling the slightest pain or inconvenience. ‘The current has passed from one rubber | cup, through the gum, to the cup on the | other side, and in passing has driven the | cocame through every fiber of the tissue and the dentine. The teeth are absolutely | anesthetized. This new application of | catapheresis to dental work has been en- thusiastically received by dentists, and it is most assuredly destined to revolution- 1ze many departments of their work. Not only does it banish forever the horrors of | the dental chair, but it opens up the pos- sibility of many further utilizations, For instance, heretofore the bleaching of teeth has been done in a_clumsy and inefficient manner by the use of peroxide of hydro- gen; by the new catapheric process, in- | stead of cocaine, pyrozone, a commercial form of hydrogen dioxide, 1s applied by the electrode to the cavity and driven right through the teeth by the turning on of the current. SpECIAL FREIGHTCARS ON ELECTRIC RATL- WAY The {reight traffic on electric rail- ways has led to the construction of many new forms of freightcars. On one line a large quantity of whisky is handled. A large boxcar, which also carries general freight and supplies for local service, has | been made for carrying to the station of | the steam railway the barrels of whisky | from large distilleries in the dis-| trict. The car is 28 feet long and 10 fcet 6 mches high from rail to top of roof. It is also used as a locomotive, and hauls three loaded boxcars between the railway and the d eries. The caris mounted on a pair of four-wheel trucks, with a wer moioron each axle and weighs about fiftcen tons empty. In Spokane, the electric-cars which haul wheat and flour between the mills and the railway s | placed the drays formerly used. The grain cars, which have been specially built for the service, are 20 feet long and_the grain | compartment is 12 feet long, 6 feet wide and 5 feet 6 inches high, with a capacity of 12,000 pounds, or 200 bushels of wheat. ~ At | the freight station the floor, which is hinged and carries a steel hopnper, is raised and the car is loaded with grain from the main line cars. On reaching the mill the car isrun over a chute, the gate of the| hopper is opened and the grain is dumped. | The floor is then let down to cover the | hepper and the car is loaded with bags or | barrels of flour to go to the railway station. Whenever the streets along the line re- quire macadamizing the caris used for carrying and discharging the broken stone. It has an Edison double reduction motor on each axle. ion have dis- | | ables were sent abroad. THEIR TRADEMARK RIGHT Weinstock, Lubin & Co. Win a Victory in the Supreme Court. S THE IMITATION OF A NAME. ““Mechanical Store” too Much Like “‘Mechanics’ Store” to Be Legiti- mate In Business Rivalry. Weinstock, Lubin & Co., the well-known merchants of Sacramento, have won & final verdict against H. Marks, who is de- clared by the courtto have infringed on their right to the name ‘Mechanics’ Store” and to have otherwise sought im- properly to divert trade from them. Both parties to the suit are in the mer- cantile business at Sacramento. The suit was one of injunction, and the Superior Court ordered, among other things, that the defendant refrain from using the name. ““Mechanical Store.” Marks appealea. Weinstock, Lubin & Co. established their store in 1874, calling it the ‘“Mechanics’ Store.” The defendant in the suit went into competition with that firm in 1885, and afterward erected a building similar to that of Weinstock, Lubin & Co. and adopted the word ‘“Mechanical.”” The Supreme Court declares that the in- junction against the use of the words “Me- chanical Store” as the name for the rival From that order | place of business must stand. It had been further ordered by the Su- perior Court, however, that the defendant place signs both outside and inside his store indicating the identity of the pro- prietor. This pont the Supreme Court says is new in the law of both this country and England; but it decides that the de- fendant cannot be compelled to make known the proprietorship of the business. Justice Garoutte says: “In this particu- lar we think the decree should be modified 50 as to require that the defendant in the conduct of this husiness shall distinguish his place of business from that in which the plaintiff is carrying on its business in some mode or form that shall be a suffi- cient indication to the public that it isa different place of business from that of the plaintiff.” g ‘Weinstock, Lubin & Co. are declared to have a trademark right under the general law to the name “Mechanics’ Store,” and imitation of it for the purpose of attract- ing trade away from the firm is declared to be an infringement.

Her home—Marina—was the first to go, it is said. All of her own valu- Some bulky fur- nishings were placed in a New York safe deposit concern. Horses and carriages were sold in New York, Every article which came from Waldemere, the old Bar- num home, was distributed among the showman’s heirs. The library was do- nated to the Scientific Society of Bridge- port. The marriage settlement was so drawn that in no event does the Bey come in possession of his bride’s property. If she dies without children the property will revert to her natural heirs, and the an- nuity of $40,000 proviaed by the will of the showman will cease. She can, if she chooses, make a will hereafter and include or leave out her husband.—Buffalo Ex- ress. e -~ NEW TO-DAY. A _BABY CONTRADICTS THE DOCTORS. AW Are Happy, Glad, and Well.

Not Only the Cheapest Rate, But Conceded By All the Very Best Treatment, Scientific, ‘Whoever pays more than $5 a month pays too much. This is the charge of the Copeland treatment. By universal admission this treat- ment is the best. This low rate has been the means of making the practice of Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn the largest in the world. The large practice makes it possible to furnish only the best treatment and the very best medicines at that low rate. The public in its cordial reception of the $5 rate, in its generally voiced conclusion that “whoever pays more pays too much,” has mada the maintenance of the rate a possibility. As to the eflicacy of the treatment thousands have testified to the fact that they havebeen cured; many more whose testimony has not been pub- lished have been cured. They are your friends and neighbors, and what they say can be taken for the truth.” Why neglect & ase_which not only endangers your life, but makes life not worth living when the best treatment can be had for so littie money ? THEIR CRFEDENTIALS. Dr. W. H. Copeland is a graduate of Bellevue Hospital Medical College of New York City, was president of his class in that famous institution, and, after hospital training and ex- devoted his time and attention to special lines of practice. Dr. N Dr. Winn passed through a similar course, and have for years been asso- ciated with Dr. Copeland.. Dr. J. G. Neal won first honors in_ col- lege, and was appointed resident physi- cian of the City Hospital. He filled the position with honor and received the hospital diploma. He also holds several gold medals for special excellence in various branches of medicine, and after graduation was elected an adjunct professor of his college. Dr. A. C. Winnisagraduate of Bellevue Hospital Medical College, and of the medical department of tie University of Missouri. They have devoted them- selves entirely tothe treatment of their specialties. Years of experience in these gpecial lines, preceded by extensive hospital worl, have fitted them in a notable degree for the practice of their profession. ¢ THE TORTURES OF CATARRH. The Symptoms as Described by Mr. G. W. Moore—What the Treatment Did for Him. Mr. George W. Moore, an old resident of this State and who has lived at the American Ex- change Hotei on Sansome street for the past eight years, is another who has been made np%py ta the inexpensive specialty treatment of Drs. Copeland, §ea! and Winn. He says: G“EO‘ W. MOORE, American Exchange Hotel. For ten years or move I suffered all ke tor- tures of chronic catarrh, and all the treatment and medicines I had in that time gave me no relief. It began with a cold in the head, which lerminated in a catarrh of the head and throat. I began doctoring for it, but it seemed 1o grow worse and soon extended to my bronchial tubes Painless and Efficacious. and then to my stomach. Ispent a whole lot of money trying to get well, and would have Deen satisfied if I could have had some relief, but nothing helped me until I began treatment at the Copeland Medical Institute. Under their treatment 1 began to improve almost at once, and now I feel as though I had a new lease of life. Ifeel better than I have for years, and cannot find words adequate to express my grat- itude to Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn. I can. not recommend them too highly.” THE NEW TREATMENT. A cordial invitation is extended by Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn to all their friends and patiénts, old as well as new, to call and test the new treatment. It has passed the stage of experiment and has been demonstrated a complete success, particularly in those cases which have withstood the other and older methods of treatment. They have added to their already complete offices the new appli- ances, and are ready to treat all those more stubborn _cases which in the past have been thought incurable. It is to their financial in- terest, as well as_their medical fame, to cure 1or one cured patient is worth many dollars of advertising. They have the best treatment and the new and direct means of using it. ALL DISEASES. The Treatment for All Chronic Disea 1s Oniy %5 a Month, Medicines " Included. Are you afllicted with DEAFNESS ?
