HAS SKIN LIKE SANDPAPER, Peculiar Affliction of a Man Under the Care of Indianapolis Physicians. CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—An Indianapolis special says: Dr. Spuryear ot Rushville came to the city to-day to consult other physicians about a remarkable case he has under treatment. His patient, David McQueery, a farmer near Rushville, no- ticed last summer that as he wiped per- spiration from his brow he fsit a sensa- tion as though he baa rubbed his fore- head with sandpaper, and it was discov- | ered that when he rubbed his flesh at any | spot on his body he brought forth a gran- ulated substance like sand. Some of the | grains of tie “sand” are half as largs a <rains of wheat. It was at first supposed that the “sand” was & granuiation of the | =sline element in perspiration, but this theory hLas been exploded. On one occa- sion he rubbed a teaspoonful from ihe end of his thumb. The operation causes him ypain and inconvenience, but does not affect his general health. Itis the | | first case of the kind ever brought tc tne notice of Indianapolis physicians and the tooks of the profession, it is said, contain no record of a similar case, — - HURDERED CAPIAIN AND WATE.

I do not believe the annexa- tion of foreign territory, which 1sa treaty function, is constitutional when it 1s se- cured by Congressional enactment. The case of Hawaii is not identical with that of Texas, for Texas was admitted as a State. I have given ihe matter close con- sideration, but the question is a aelicate one und we ought to x0 slowly and with great care.”’ Senator Gorman of Maryland has an- nounced himself in favor of annexation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14 —The Herald to- morrow will sey: Afterail the rumors and reports concerning the recent private sale in Kentucky of the celebrated two-year- old racenhorse, Humburg, it can now be stated upon good authority that the coit belongs to Julius Fleischmann of Cincin- nati, and, moreover, that the price paid to John E. Madden for the colt was $50,- 000 and not $60,000, as reported. Accora- ing to the Herald’s informant negotiations uLad been going on for the purchase of the horse for sometime and were almost com- pleted when Charles Fleischmann was taken illand died. They had gone 30 far, verhaps, that there was hardly a possibil- ity of the iamily of Mr. Fleischmann de- claring off the transaction without con- <ideraple 10ss. Hence the conclusion of Julius rleischmann to conciude the deal atier the funeral of his father. Perhaps the death of the elder Fieiscnmann was the cause of all the secrecy in the trans- action.

The various committees which have charge of the Goiden Jubilee have been dong some practical work the last few days and have their plans ior the cele- brativn weil in hand. The committee on arrangements has given a consi.ierable amount ol advertis- ing to the printer and ifts plan for the arrangements of the exhibits is about completed. The entire east end of the | hall will be given up to the Klendike mining exhibit. Tue west end with the | annex and machinery room will contain the mineral and mining exhivits. The booths of the Kiondike «u fitting de- | vartment will b- in various fancy suapes | and each wiil contain the same amoun: | ot space. The pians for the selection of | speces will be ready n- xt Monday and the | rule of first come first served will be strictly adhered to. As there are oniy thirty-two booths to oe disposed of it is probabie that they will go ratner rapidly. One of tne principal features of the Klondike outfitting d partment will be the iliustretion of the cooking., The east end of the pallery wilt be partitioned off | from this, and four lcctures a week will be z:ven, xnd the visitors will be shown how to make delicious orelets from de-ic cated epgs and palaiable dishes of eva- poraied fruit and vegetabies all on a small “'kno k-down’’ stove. Scenic artists and stage carpenters have investigated and find that the plan to have 4 mining camp in full operaiion is a feasib.e one. The west side of the ealiery will be occupied by a wonderiully natural representation of the North B.oomficld hydraulic mine. This exhibit will be 65 by 100 .eet with a depth of 50 feet, Tuere will be twenty-five men en- gaged in operating the niine and with gravel bowlders, sluice boxes and pumps a clear idea of m niug as itis carried on in Calitornia wiil be given to the v.sitors to the fair. The Sta'e Board of Trad« will probably have exhibit moved to the fair, and there are 10 be & number of interesting loan exhibits. The general committee meets to-night,and a number of minor points will be discussed and decided. PETERSON OF MODFSTO. He Took an Overdose of Morphine and Died inthe Morning From Its Effects. F. Peterson arrived from Modesto last Monday evening and took a room at the New Western Hotel. Yesterday morning as the porter was wnassing his room he heard the sound of steriorous breathing vroceeding irom the room occupied by | Feterson. No reoly having been given to his summons at the door he forced an en- | trance and found Peierson lying in his bed unconscious. Mr. Sution immediately summoned Dr. Wi e, who rooms in the house, and the doctor simmoned Dr. Mc- Lain to as«ist him. They used all the known methods of restoratives upon Peter- son, but he died within a half hour after he was found. Deputy Coroner Tyrrel! took charge of the body and found in the coat pocke: of the deceased a hypodermic syringe and a vottle contaning several grains of mor- phine. No marks could be found on tte arms of Peterson to show that he had taken an injection of the fatal drug. The contents of the bottle showed t.at water had been mixed with the drug in it, and it was supposed that Peterson took an overdose. An autopsy wiil be teld to-day. e To Supply Klondikers.
