VOL. NO. 125. INVEST AT HOME. DON'T SEND YOUR MONEY AWAY Great Usses Resulting From Western Investments.

hered that the "Tele It will be renieni SI? I 1 11" frrn.lt" iHTsisteiitiy money to loL not to send it to the west, and not to invest it in mortgages oil western property, that they had better invest at home in real estate or in some business that would add to the wealth of their own communities That the "Telegraph" was right was demonstrated ia Beading yesterday where a sale of Kansas mortgages took place The mortgages aggregated 300,000 and were knocked down for $314. It is suposed that even this small price is more than they are worth. This Heading case is not the only illustration in this immediate vicinity of the folly of investing money away from home. There are many cases well known to lawyers and bankers of Harrisburg where large sums of money have been sent to bankers and brokers and real estate agents and to boomers of western towns and not one dollar of it returned. Invest at home, and if yon are going to speculate, speculate at home.

There are plenty of opportunities and more money has been made by investments here at home than by any foreign investments of which we have learned. Fortunes are not made in a night in Harrisburg. Neither are fortunes lost in a night in Harrisburg. Investments in western speculation are verymuch like investments in oil wells during the oil excitement. Just about one in every hundred produced money.

Of course, if a man is going to take the chances on being the lucky one hundredth man, it is useless to say anything to him about the folly of western investments. But the man who is willing to learn by experience, will be warned. In conversation with a councilman the other day he said that the correspondent of the "Telegraph" told the truth when he said that the projection of the intake pipe one hundred yards beyond the point where it now ends would take it into clear water and beyond the culm line, and that if this were done no filter would be needed. "Of course," said he, "during the time of flood you would have muddy water, but this would be a very trifling inconvenience, and was not much complained of until the coal operators began screening the coal dust into the streams along the North Branch." If this is the fact and there does not seem to be much question about it why should not Councils authorize the extensions of the intake pipe as suggested and see what the effect would be? There is no better water than that found in the Susquehanna Kiver; no healthier water; no water better adapted to all the uses of life. But it ought to be delivered to the citizens free from coal culm and dirt as far as practicable.

They were talking of the snake that tried to capture a fish in the Conoco cheague Creek at Chambersburg, and the old fisherman remarked that there was nothing singular in that. "The fact that snakes try to catch fish is a very true one," said he, "and I have seen numerous instances of it. I was fishing along the Conodoguinet Creek one day and had caught a nice string of sun fish, which I had tied to the bont in which I sat. I noticed a commotion among the captured li.sh, but did not think anything of it, supposing that the fish were kicking because they were on a string, until I saw the ugly looking head of a water snake peeping out of the water. I drew the fish out of the water and saw that the snake had bitten several of the fish in half, and that was what caused the commotion.

At one of the summer houses along the Juniata I was one day fishing from the shore and had several nice fish to my credit. I was congratulating myself ou the nice broil I was to have for suppor when to my trreat couattTiiation I saw the whole string move out into the water and disappear. A big water snake as thick as my arm had stolen into shore and gathered in my fish and the rascal no doubt had a square meal. Since then, whenever I fish at that place I keep an eye on my catch." A Blatter of Making Up. The wife of his bosom had bought for him Just the loveliest made up tie, And he only escaped from wearing the thing By many a made up lie.

"Phillies" Lose Their Eighth Straight Game to the "Pirates." When, oh when will this losing streak of the "Phillies" cease? The hoodoo clung to them at Pittsburg yesterday and the same old tale of defeat was wafted back to Philadelphia. From a team reputed to be the heaviest hitting aggregation in the National League the Quakers have degenerated into a lot of sporadic batsuieu. They ontbatted the "Pirates" yesterday but lost because of Mc Gill's wildness.

To add to their misfortunes Lave Cross, one of the best men on the terni. had the little finger of his right hand broken by a vicious ball from Lyons bat. Both of the "Phillies" third basemen are now laid up. While the "Phillies" were losing their eighth straight game the Cincinnati Red Legs were winning their seventh straight. But Cleveland also won and went into first place, holding it by the narrow margin of one point Pittsburg gained on Boston and increased its lead over Baltimore.

The Senators trounced Chicago and not only passed their opponents in the race but tied with the "Phillies" for sixth place. St. Louis tied with York through the latter's defeat at Cincinnati.

There were several breezes at the closing session of the State Medical Society yesterday afternoon. The first one was over the exhibits of the proprietory medicines, and the second over a resolution introduced by Dr. Lantenbach, of Philadelphia, referring to the judicial council an advertisement ill a Philadelphia newspaper jfiviiiir the nauira of urofossora on duty at the Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, and reauestinir a renort ns to i whether it is not in contravention of the code of ethics. The resolution was re ferred to a special committee which re ported as follows: "lour committee would report that we have learned that the publication re ferred to has been issued without the knowledge of the medical gentlemen whose names appear and it is the belief of the committee that the matter having now come to their notice will be so arranged by them as to fully comply with the code of ethics. Your committee also deprecate the action of these persons, who, by having copies of the advertisement printed and distributed in the hall of this society have made their action ai pear to have more of the interest of the individual than the welfare of the So ciety.

lliis morning many of the nhvsicians left for Marietta, where they inspected Dr. Alexander's vaccine farm. Before adjournment resolutions were adopted thanking the good people of Har ris ourg Tor their courtesy ana the Governor and all who assisted in making the convention a success.

Fire In a Laundry. By the time it was discovered fire had gained some headway on loth floors of a back building connected with the laundrv of George W. Rhinehart. No.

1000 North Third street, last uight. It is thought that the fire was started by clothes which were set ablaze by a stove in the drying room. Two plug streams soon extinguished the fire. The interiors of two back rooms on both floors and the stairway were badly scorched and the plasterin other rooms was ruined by the water. Rhinehnrt's machinery, a large quantity of starch and about twenty five packages of laundered goods, which were not removed or stolen, were damaged to a considerable extent.

Mr. Rhinehart said he was unable to estimate the damage, but thought he had sufficient insurance. Jacob Schlayer, the owner of the building, said it was fully insured over the few hundred dollars damage to woodwork and plaster. Old Vets Know Him Well. Captain George E.

Lemon, the well known Washington pension attorney and proprietor of the National Tribune, is lying very ill and it is doubtful whether he will ever be able to resume his business. Captain Lemon is a very wealthy bachelor, although a few years ago he was an humble claim agent, carrying his office in his hat. But he built up an enormous business and has probably procured more pensions for old soldiers and sailors and their widows and orphans than any other man in the country. His fees were small but they were numerous, and at one time amounted to several thousand dollars each day. His paper, the National Tribune, which is the organ of the Grand Armv of the Republic, has an enormous circulation, and is a very profitable piece of property Meeting of Teachers.

Mayor Patterson gave a preliminary hearing at the police station at 10 this morning to Building Inspector Schudde niage, who is charged by eebit tS Cooler, contractors for the new Eighteenth street school building, with neglect of duty, the assumption of unwarranted and illegal authority and the unnecessary obstruction of public work. The public has been made pretty thoroughly conversant with this dispute through the columns of the "Telegraph." Nesbit Coder refused to submit a detailed estimate of the cost of the different items used in the construc tion of the building as the other builders have been required to do since the office of Building Inspector was created. Mr.

Schuddemage refused to give the neces sary permit until they did so. Subsequently, at the instance of the City Solici tor, who held that he had no legal au thority for compelling the submission of such detailed estimate, Mr. Schuddemage authorized City Engineer Cowden to give Nesbit Coder the necessary lines, adding, however, that he intended to enforce the regulations afterwards. Before the lines were given Nesbit Coder had sent a communication to Mayor Patterson pre ferring the charges above mentioned against the Building Inspector. Ou May lvttx a supplemental complaint was filed, setting forth the Inspector's further refusal to give the permit.

At the hearing this morning Mr. Joseph Nesbit appeared for the firm of Nesbit Coder. City Solicitor Seitz was present as the legal advisor of the Mayor, while Chairman Meals, of the Building Committee, looked after the interests of the Board of Control. Mr. Schuddemage was on hand with copies of the building laws in his pocket and an "I am right" expression on his countenance.

Several contractors were there as witnesses. After reading the communications and stating that he was not fully conversant with the ordinance and the discretionary powers conferred upon the Building Inspector. Mayor Patterson called upon Mr. Nesbit to make a statement. Before Mr.

Nesbit began Stenographer Ziegler was sent for. Then Mr. Nesbit proceeded to say that inasmuch as this was to be merely a preliminary Rearing he thought the communications already in the Mayor's hands sufficiently explained the builders' position. He was prepared to prove the truth of the firm's charges at once, but suggested that both sides submit a case stated to the Court as a speedy, war out of the difficulty. City Solicitor Seitz didn't take kindly to this proposition, holding that it would place him in a rather ridiculous light before the Court, in view of his former opinion sustaining the position of Nesbit Coder.

"I have given an opinion and am ready to stand upon It," said Mr. Seitz. "but I will have to take a little time to think over Mr. Nesbit's proposition." Mr. Schuddemage said he hadn't 8ubpoened any witnesses, thinking them unnecessary to support his stand.

"I can bring a majority of the builders of Harrisburg and some of the best authorities in the country to prove the stability of my position," said he, "if given a few days time. I drew up my regulations only after consultation with Mr. Middleton. the then City Solicitor, and am satisfied I am right in the premises." After some further consultation. Mayor Patterson announced that he would postpone the hearing until to morrow morning at 11' Mr.

Seitz promised to inform Mr. Nesbit before the hearing as to whether he would agree to a case stated or not. Then the little party filed out, Inspector Schuddemage and Contractor Nesbit stopping on the pavement in front of the office and conversing earnestly. lOO Happy Animal Actors. The famous Norris Bros." Trained Animal Show will erect their big tents Tn the circus grounds' Monday and will remain the entire week, giving performances each evening and matinees Tnesdav, Thursday and Saturday, with admission for ndults 20c, children lOc.

The company consists of 100 handsome and highly educated Shetland ponies, dogs, monkeys and goats, and it can be said without exaggeration that they surpass iu number and intelligence, any similar company iu existence. They do almost everything imaginable but talk, and at times they Seem on the very verge of breaking out into dialogue. The dogs perform difficult balancing feats on backs of chairs, ladders, tight ropes, turn forward and backward somersaults and handsprings, walk on their hind or front feet, as commanded, jump through blazing hoops and barrels, ride bare back horses, fire pistols, masquerade as little ladies, gentlemen and children nnd with the assistance of the funny clowns, en act side splitting pantomime. The lofty leaping by a pack of gray hounds is won derful and exciting. The handsome little Shetland ponies form a unique portion of the entertainment with their grand military drill, see saw, hurdle vaulting, waltzing, bell ringing, etc.

One of their number answers various questions by snaking ms ueau ana pawing, lie solves small mathematical problems and proves that he can distinguish color and tell time by glancing at a watch.

an employe of Snavely's livery, across the alley from the station house, was laying in wait for her, intent upon carrying out a threat to kill her made in a letter, which she showed the officers. In this missive Edward, after declaring his mad passion, goes on to say: "You done me very wily last evening. Why didn't you come to meet me? You turned me down and shall suffer like a dog. I will see you some morning as you go to work and put you out of the way and then die on the gallows like a doer.

Electric Hallway Rollins; Stock. The improvement iu electric railway rolling stock during the last five years have been as rapid as the development in electric railway construction, and the cur builders have met the demand for a closer and closer approach to steam rail way standards with a degree of success pleasing alike to themselves, the railroad companies and the people who ride ou the cars. It has been found advantageous, however, to modify the steam railway standards in several directions shown to be necessary to accomplish the best results. 1 hese appear to be chiefly in the line of lightness, retaining, however, the very necessary condition of strength. This development has been especially noticeable in the case of subur ban and interurbau lines, the conditions of which seem to require a close following of the best steam railway methods.

Out Not This Tear. A prominent official of the "Peiinsy" is quoted by the Philadelphia Record as saying that "the South l'enn Road will be built beyond a doubt, but It will not be done this year. The resurveys of the route now being made by the Cumberland Valley engineers are for the purpose of perfecting our right of way. so that when we decide to go ahead with the road and complete it there will be nothing to delay us. No time has been fixed on for the resumption of work, but I don't supjiose that it will be many years before we find that we can make use of another line across the State to great advantage."

Josenh M. Coheen, of Kolhapur, India. The opening sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Robert Russell Booth, of New York, the retiring Moderator, on the subject of "Christian Union and Denominational Loyalty." The text was taken from the gospel of St.

John, xvii, 20 and 21. It was contended that the text considered and defined only the union of believers, and that it had to do simply with an established harmony of purpose and affection, a oneness of sympathetic and accordant brotherhood. The text also stated that the reason why unity was desired by Christ. It also held that Chris tian union does not lie iu the hue of denominational agreement, or in the sur render of matured convictions on the nart of one branch of the Church to another. In closing Dr.

Booth spoke of the mis understandings and conflicts which have divided the Church and hindered its work. He deprecated any word or act which miirht iiirirrfivate nreseot troubles. "On one hand," he said "there are charges of undue severity in the administration of discipline, coupled with a plea for liberty within certain limits, which op to this time have not been defined. On the other hand, there is a fear or conviction that essential truths are at stake and a belief that the Church is contending for honor and life iu the stand which she has recent ly taken in her discipline and deliverances. To many of us this controversy has been unexpressibly painful, and there can be no doubt that it has materially interfered with our financial prosperity.

It adds to the painfulness of the present condition that no real effort has hitherto been put forth to secure a removal of these misunderstandings by brotherly conference and arbitration of differences. It may be a dream; it may be a delu sion, said the preacher, "but speaking, as it were, for the last time in such a place of public authority, I appeal to the sound Christian sense of this venerable tVssemblyto take eome proper measures to ascertain what it is that divides us, and what is required for the abatement of strife and a reconciliation of parties at variance. The first important business transacted was the election of a Moderator. Dr. Francis C.

Monfort, of Cincinnati, editor of the Herald and Presbyter, was nomi nated by Dr. Thomas II. Clelland. of Dulutli, and was seconded by Col. Alexander Ketcham, of New York.

The name of Dr. David R. Breed, of Pitts burg, was presented by Rev. William II. Hubbard, of Auburn, N.

1., and seconded by Hon. 8. J. II. McMillan, of St.

Paul. Dr. John R. Da vies, of New York, made strong speech in the interest of Dr. John L.

Witherow, of Chicago, and was seconded by Dr. William P. Kane. of Bloomington, and Dr. V.

D. Reed, of Philadelphia. The result of the ballot was: Witherow, ilo; Breed, 171k5, and Monfort, 84. The election was then made unanimous. The newly elected Moderator was conducted to the platform and inducted into office by the retiring Moderator, Dr.

Booth. Dr. Witherow xpressed a high appreciation of the honor conferred upon him, and expressed his determination to nse his best endeavors ns a servant of the Assembly. Ir. William Durant, chairman of the Committee of Arrange ments.presented to "the Moderator a gavel which had been provided by the local as sociation of the Daughters of the Revolution.

It is of wood which grew on tlie field whero Burgoyne surrendered nnd was made by a coxswaiu of Admiral Kar rugut's flagship. Dr. Witherow, the new Moderator, instituted a new departure at once. One of the most arduous duties of a newly elected Moderator is the appointment of numerous committees, upon one of which every commissioner finds a place. It has been customary to ask the advice of the clerks and of a few prominent commissioners.

At the close of the afternoon session Dr. Witherow called for a meet ing of two representatives from each Presbytery with whom he might advise in the matter, and the result of the experi ment is awaited with interest. Some interest was aroused by the publication of a dispatch from Mr. Kingsle.v. treasurer of Uniou Seminary, stating that Prof.

Henry 1. Smith, who was suspend ed by the General Assembly of 1804. is to deuver a course of lectures ot the semi nary during the next year. A false rejMirt also was spread that he was engaged to take the pla.ee of Dr. Briggs in the seminary during the year's leave of absence recntly granted to him by the Board of recently granted to him by tho Board of TO HI UK DYNAMITE.

Mr. Helford Kays He fan Throw Loaded Shells Six miles. Washington, May 22 D. M. Hefford, of Toledo, the inventor of the original pneumatic dynamite gun, with the later development of which Lieutenant E.

L. Zalinski, U. S. had a part, is here to take out patents on an improved pneumatic gun. "With 1,000 pounds pressure to the square inch," said he, "I can throw a fifteen inch shell loaded with 500 pounds of high explosives distance of six miles.

No man of war can le constructed which can withstand the shock of such an ex plosion. Remember that while the best thirteen iueh guns have a range of ten to twelve miles, their ellective range against heavy armor is less than six miles und they can hardly be said to have any effective range nt all against properly constructed coast defenses. "The pneumatic guns now at Saudv Hook aro only limited successes. Tlieir rango is too short. A fleet ot ironclads could stand off out of their range nnd in time silenco them.

Zalinski has failed to solve the probfofn tvtitcu I clakn to hn ve sotvort." Mr. Hefford has submitted bis plans to (rcnoral Miles and to the Committee on Military Affairs and Fortifications.

Washington, May 22. Senator Quay is off to sec Mr. McKinley. He left last night at 7 o'clock for his home in Beaver. Senator Quay was as uncommunicative as ever about the purpose of his visit to Mr.

McKinley up to the miiiute that he left, but undoubtedly it was to arrange with McKinley for the winding up of the pre conveution canvass, for the proceedings in the National Committee meeting oud in the convention and for the coining campaign, with such personal terms as may prove mutually acceptable. There seems to be nothing in the report that Senator Quay desires or will receive the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. Mr. McKinleVs friends Bere say that the man who is to manage Mr. McKin ley campaign as chairman of the Re publican National Committee has already Ih cu selected, and that Senator fjuay knows this, and probably the man's name, although it is being kept as secret is possible.

All that is known about it outside of a small circle is that the chair man of the Republican National Committee is an Ohio man. The report that Senator Quay desired the place did not come from him. and it is at least extremely donbtfnl whether he ever had such a desire. Senator Quay is going to Canton not only on his own account but as the repre sentative of the others who have been counted anti McKinley men, and lie will have various messages to deliver and probably to receive as well. A number of interests and individuals are involved the preparations for a programme of harmony at St.

Louis. Mr. Piatt's position is still unknown except to Quay and Clarkson. Undoubtedly Clarkson brought word from him to (Juay, but what it was has not trans pired. However, it is believed that iuay will represent Piatt as well ns the rest at Canton.

Clarkson saw Senator Allison and af lerward announced that the Iowa Seuator would remain a candidate, and that his name would be presented to the St. Louis convention by John S. Baldwin, of Council Bluffs, whom he described as a very eloquent speaker. Boston. Mass.

Refreshments were served.

HOW TO MARK 8500. Catch the Dennlson Safe CracUi rs and Keeover Their llooty. It was thought the burglars bold, who cracked the safe in the house of Dennison Brothers, in Middle Paxton township, about a mile northeast from Dauphin, early yesterday morning, did not burden themselves long with the safe box con taining the deeds, mortgages and fire insurance policies, leaving it in an empty house car in the railroad yards at Rock ville, where it was subsequently found and discovered by the Dennisons. Evidently the burglars had resorted to the house car in order to examine the papers without fear of detection. The direction they took after leaving 'the car is not known.

They may have boarded a passing freight train going cither east or west. Mr. George Dennison was in town to day again and inserted an advertisement in the "Telegraph" offering $500 reward for the apprehension of the burglars nnd the recovery of the in Government bonds and gold they extracted from the Dennison safe. He has engaged Detective Anderson to work on the case oud that officer expects to locate the precious pair before many days, although realizing that they have a good start and the additional advantage of having gotten away without leaving a single clue behind for the otlicer to work on. Mr.

Dennison tracked the men for a distance of a couple of hundred feet or more from the house nnd is now more firmly convinced than ever that the men were thoroughly acquainted with the locality and the fact that the Dennisons kept a large sum of money and bonds in the house. In leaving the house the took the same route to the public road that the Dennisons usually travel and kept very close together. AMERICAN GOLD IU RUSSIA.

New York, May 22. Ex Senator Wal lace, of Pennsylvania, died at 7:30 this morning. Mr. Wallace has been ill for some time, having sustained a stroke of paraly sis some weeks ago. Sketch of His Career.

William A. Wallace was born in Clear field, ou November 28th, 1827. He received an academic education, was admitted to the bar in 1847, and devoted himself to his profession until his en trance into polities in 1802 as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate. His competitor for thnt otBce was Hon. L.

Hall, of this city, who then resided at Vltoona. The district from which Mr. Wallace was elected was composed of the counties of Blair, Cambria and Clearfield. Afterward a district composed of the counties of Centre, Clearfield and Clinton was made. He served five successive terms in that body, was its Speaker in 1871, Senatorial delegate and chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation to the National Democratic Convention in 1872, and a member of the Commission to suggest amendments to the State Constitution in 1874.

In 1875 S1 he was United States having been chosen as a Democrat. After the expiration of his term in the United States Senate he was again elected to the State Senate iu 1882, and was the author of the arbitration statute and several amendments to the Pennsylvania railroad laws. In 1880 he became a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, but the organization of his party having passed into the hands of his opponents ne was defeated by Channcey F. Black. In 1890 the nomination for Governor was again denied him, his successful competitor for the honor being ex Governor Robert E.

Pattison. Mr. Wallace was for many years chairman of the Democratic State Committee and as an organizer had no su perior. He was a delegate to every Demo cratic National Convention since lotsi. While in the United States Senate he acted as chairman of the Democratic caucus, an honor which conferred upon him the leadership of his party on the floor of the senate.

During a great part of his life Mr. Wallace was a successful lawyer, but he abandoned the practice of his profession after he entered the United States Senate.

IS1LLKUIUENTIK1ES ANOT11KU ROKY The Newark Crank Turns Vt Again and Oets a Mound New York Tribune. Charles II. Biller, who made scene at the Morgue in this city by claiming the body of the young woman who committed suicide at the Colonnade Hotel as that of his wife, attempted the same trick late on Tuesday night at a roadhouse at Waverly, near Newark, where Kate McLaughlin committed suicide by taking poison on Monday night. Biller had not been seen in Newark since his escapade iu this city. He appeared at the Waverly roadhouse between 10 and 11 o'clock ou Tuesday night.

Mr. Hill, the proprietor, and his bartender were alone in the barroom when Biller called for a glass of seltcer. ne asked if he was in Hill's roadhouse, and being answered in the atfirinntive, he pushed the glass from him and began pacing the floor, exclaiming: "Oh, my God, this is terrible." Biller passed out of the door and was followed by Hill, who sympathetically inquired what ailed him. "Oh. my poor sister," exclaimed Biller.

He was induced to re enter the barroom, when he was placed in a chair and the bartender gave him a drink of whisky. After taking the drink he became somewhat composed and then sustained another spell of violent grief, going out ou the porch to indulge it. Re entering the barroom, Biller asked to see his sister's body, which still lay in a room upstairs, saying, "It will break my heart, but I must see her." He was shown to the room, where several women sat. Going to the body, he looked for several moments at the face, and then kissed it, saying, "My God, my sister! Oh, what shall I do?" Biller knocked over one of the lighted candles near the bed, nnd the proprietor, who had entered the room, replaced the candle and led Biller back to the barroom. His grief here broke out afresh, Uut expressions that he used raised doubts in his hearers minds.

Hill called one of the women who was acquainted with all the me iibers of the dead girl's family and asked her if the wailing stranger was Kate's brother. She promptly said that he was not. Then Hill recollected what had occurred at the Morgue in this city, and going to Biller. who stood at the bar with his face iu his hands, he said: "You arc Charles Biller. I know you." Biller repied: "I nm that girl's brother." Biller wanted to go away, but Hill seized him.

Then he shouted, "Yes, I am Charles Biller. I meant no harm. Let me go." The impostor tried to break away, but Hill held him fast, and. angry ut the fellow's performances, struck him several blows in the fnco. Biller exclaimed "Stop, stop? Pientic don't kill me!" Then the bartender, who had guarded tho door, threw it open, nnd Biller was kicked lodily into the road, and his derby hat.

which he had dropped, was flung out after him. Biller disappeared in the direction of Newark. ltKAMKO FOIl A Woman Katally Ilnrned In Her Own Dwelling. New York, May 22. Mrs.

KILIM. MI LES' TKKTII, A PHlnfnl Operation to Which the Mule Objects. Dr. I. C.

Newhard, of Harrisburg, probably has more patients awaiting their turn for his services than any other den tist in the State, says the Mahanoy Rec ord. He is a veterinary surgeon and at present is looking after the teeth of about 2,000 mules that are owned by the Coal Iron Company. Just now he has an engagement with the fifty or so vicious, stubborn fellows who snap at drivers and kick at passersby iu Mahanoy City colliery. Yesterday he finished up at North Mahanoy and so regretful were the patients of his departure that one of them tried to keep part of him behind. It was that sly chap, Duke, on whom the Doctor was ooeruting.

ine latter baa last laid hold on Duke7s tongue that he might get a better view of the Ivories, when ms royalty closed his teeth hard on the Doctor's left hand, nearly taking off the thumb. Duke was rebuked for his impoliteness and the operation proceeded. Iu all his experience this is the first time, says the doctor, that he has been bitten. The teeth of nearly every mule, like every person, need some attention. They may not decay in some places, since the food taken is not so neb nor so destroy ing.

Mr. Mule, too, is provided with a tongue not unlike a tooth brush in its roughness, which he delights in whisking about his dentals after breakrast, dinner and supper. But one of his shortcomings is that he is apt to bolt his feed, and this may cause dyspepsia and other fash ionable diseases like those man niiects Not because he has business cares that de mand haste, but because of his teeth. The molars, or back teeth, on which lie does his grinding, have more work to perform than those with which he nips at the door boy. This wears them away and in the course of a very few years they are much shorter than the front teeth and the food which passes between them is barely touched and not masticated.

This is where the work of the dentist comes in. The incisors or front teeth must be filed away for a quarter of an inch, perhaps, l. i. I 1 l. iiiiu tiiin is nmii oit.

The patient is locked up in stocks usu ally and his head secured. The tougue is held aside in filing, an instrument is used with a rasp on it greater than that of a coarse file. Extraction is often neces sary nnd in this operation the mule goes through nil the agony and anticipation of a man.

MR. MAY WAS SUPPRESSED. He Halls From West Kalrvlew Gave an Officer a Tussle. and Mayor Patterson was passing along Third street, near Walnut, last evening. when his attention was attracted to the persistent efforts of a man to sell a ring to a gentlemau who was accompanying two ladies home.

The gentleman informed him several times tha he ditd not desire tor buy, but the fellow hung to him like wax. ualnng Olhcer Goodyear, who wa nearby, tee Mayor asked him to take the man to ioIice station. Seeing the blue coat acading for him the fellow made a break lor a passing street car. But the otlicer was not to be shaken off in such manner, and boarding the car dragged the pursued off after a tussle. He wns being taken down the street when, at Strawberry alley, he tried to work the iieck and knee trick on the oflicer, who retaliated with the locust on the head.

That settled the gentleman, and he walked along very meekly the balance of the way. At the station he said he was Joseph May, of West Fairview. Then Mayor Patter son recollected that he had figured in police courts before as a scrapper, and sent him up for a hearing. Look Out lor the Ohio Man. Communicated.

William F. Har rify, chairman of the Democratic Na tional Committee, received the Demo cratic outlook in the country with a con virsatiou with a reporter at the Fifth i Avenue Hotel this morning. "The Dom ocrats," said Harrity, "are by no means so hopeless as the Republican newspapers picture them, uu the contrary, thev are hopeful and growing more hopeful every day. With every advance of the Mc Kinley movement, the chance of the De mocracy has been improved. If McKinley is nominated at St.

Louis I am confident that Democratic success next November will not only be iwssible but extremely probable Business men throughout the country have a profound distrust of McKinley on account of his record on the currency question, and his present silence, and I do not believe that that distrust can be removed by the adoption of a sound money platform by the St. Louis convention. Even if Mc Kinley should siieak out later the dis trust would remain in a greater or less degree: for business men cannot understand why any man should hesitate at all to give his views on such an important question as currency.
