Realization. From LUe. I wished one day, with Burns, some power wad gie The gift by means of which myaelf I'd see, Aa to the watching world I seemed to be. And, as it chanced, some fairy came my way, And granted me the wish I'd made that day; And oh, it filled my soul with blank dismay. For as I looked, ah, how my pride did fall; Aghast I staggered back against the wall: ATTEMPED SUICIDES.

Family Quarrels Lead to Two Attemps at Self-Murder. Hanover Record. All ia not serene in the domestic relations of one Jeremiah Wenver residing on the Westminster road, about five miles from Hanover. He haa had much trouble In his family of late, and one day last week he and his wife had a quarrel. This so preyed upon the mind of the wife, that she determined to end her existence and procured a package of rat poison with which to accomplish her purpose.

Mr. her intention In time and took the poison away from her. The next day her son, Christian Chester, went out Into the woods and tried to commit suicide by hanging himself to a tree, taking with him a pump trough to stand on. Selecting a convenient tree, he mounted the pump trough, made one tnd of the rope fast to the tree and having tied the other end around his neck kicked the trough from under him. He would no doubt, have succeeded had not hla mother, coming to hunt for him soon afterward found him hanging tJ the tree.

A Scheme to Destroy Detroit by Fire Frustrated. Detroit, Aug.24.

Early last Monday morning Superintendent of Police Starkweather was informed by one of the members of hla detettive force that a plot had been concocted by certain persons in the city to destroy the water works pumping station with dynamite.

Monday night was the time set to do the job and all that night the works were guarded by a body of meu with Winchesters.

Congressman Scranton haa called the attention of Chairman Reeder and Secretary Leach, of the Republican State Committee, to what he deems an error in their appor Moment of Philadelphia delegates in their call for the State convention. Under their schedules Issued in accordance with the rule adopted August 1 9, 1891, he says the city ia given six more delegates than it is regularly entitled to, and presents statistics showing the excessive representation to be in the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 27th districts, as follows: In the 25th ward, Harrison received 3,807 voters in 1892, entitling it to 2 delegates instead of 4 as given in the State Committee's call. The 23rd ward gave Harrison 2,771 votes, entitling It to one delegate Instead of 2. The 24th ward gave Harrison 5,548 votes entitling it 3 delegates and not 4. The 28th ward gave Harrison 6,120 votes, entitling it to 3 delegates instead of 5.

In explanation of the so-called error, David Martin says: "He has entirely overlooked the vote in the new wards cut from those originally representing thefoux districts. The new wards, however, are Included, and together with the 25th, 23rd, 24th and 28th wards comprise the districts in which the errors of. representation are charged." Congressman Sc-anton was informed to-day of the correct 11 rures by Mr. Martin, who forward him tbe ex act vote polled in eacL dUtrict as well as the number of delegates to which Philadelphia Is entitled.

"What have you seen in me that causes you to rej ct me so scornfully? I think I am not mis taken in the conclusion that you reject me with more or less scorn?" "You are not mistaken, Mr. Whack ster, and I am perfectly willing that you should know the reason. You seem to have no worthy ambition, no definite purpose, no object in life.

You are a drone in society. You have wasted In trivial amusement the years that other young men in your station would have devoted to fitting themselves for a high and noble destiny. You have no conception of the joys that reward the man who consecrates himself to a lofty Ideal. You know absolutely nothing or the pleasures of the thinker. Content to drift along on the surface of things, with no wish or ambition toontrol the course of events and leave your Impress on the age In which you live, you are a man with whom no high-minded, self, respecting, Intellectual woman could think of Unking her fate without a shudder:" Perhaps I am," rejoined the young man, reaching for hla hat and confront ing her, as ha rose to go, with a look at proud and haughty as her own.

Death of a Boy Caused By Hydrophobia. TWO DAYS OF AGONY. He Was Bitten Last July By a Dog That Had Been Rendered Ferocious By the Amputation of Its Tail A Case of Considerable Medical Interest. Philadelphia, August 24.

The bright seven-year-old son of Joseph B. Jermyn, of Oak Lane, died yesterday morning of hydrophobia, after enduring untold agony for two days. The case ia interesting from a medical point of view, because the child waa said by the physicians to be too young to realize or dread the effects of rabies, and imagination, they say, therefore played no part in inducing the anapplnga and guttural, dog-like sounds that accompanied the paroxysms The bite which is supposed to have led to the child's agonizing death was inflicted last July while he waa playing with several children. He was passing the residence of Oliver McMurtha when he espied through a wooden fence a dog whose tail had been amputated and the stump cauterized a short time before. The operation seems to have maddened the animal, which, during the morning of the same day, had killed a cat and several chickena.

The boy called the dog and It immediately jumped over the fence and attacked He fought it, but before help arrived the beast had lacerated the left side of hla head and torn the flesh from the forehead. A doctor was promptly summoned and the dog waa killed aa soon as captured by Constable Moore. The wounda of the head and forehead were cauterized, but were first carefully washed with a cleansing solution. Those of the head required a plastic operation to get the bleeding parts united and about ten stitches were put in the wound. The little fellow suffered much, but rallied after the operation, and In a comparatively few days waa playing In the street in apparently good health.

Last Sunday night the boy's mother noticed that he waa feverish and nervoua. Dr. McDonald waa summoned from the city and he waa horrified at tho child's symptoms. He diagnosed the caae aa one of hydrophobia, but at the time concealed bis suspicions from the family When the force of the virus began to exert itself on the nervous system the boy waa thrown into convulsions, which were repeated at the sound of a foot fall, of running water or the pressure of a hand on tho bed clothinsr. His eyes dilated with fear, and he became the victim of a strange hallucination.

Chloral and bromide of potassium were administered and produced a soothing sifect. Another physician was called in on Monday.and agreed with Dr. McDonald that the boy had hydrophobia In Its primary stages, and that the virus had become so firmly seated in the system as to beyond control. From then until yesterday one convulsion followed another, each becoming more violent than the one previous. Every symptom of the dreaded malady waa present.

the frothing at the mouth, the muscular contractions of the throat, guttural sounds and the dilations of the pupils of the eyes. Dr. McDonald said that It was the saddest case he had ever met with In his professional career. Between par oxysms the little sufferer was rational and pleaded with the doctors to give him relief. "Won't you do something for me? If you make me well again I ill never be a bad boy.

About the only thing of future use in them are the Iron and steel archea and timber. It Is thought that not more than 1100,000 can be realized from the auction. The most expensive buildings will probably bring the least money.

The Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, which cost $1,600,000, and which has 1500,000 in arches alone, will, of necessity, it is given to the man who will tear it down and carry the debris away. The magnitude of the undertaking will be realized when it la stated that each arch contains twenty carloads of steel, all the pieces being firmly riveted together. The salvage in the Administration Building will also be very small. The Mines Building, on the contrary, 13 re garded witn more lavorable prospects. The steel arches are much lighter than those of almost any other on the ground and could be readily taken down and set up again for a large workshop or factory.

They would also be available for a depot of moderate size. Bad at RockaAiay. Rockaway Beach, L. August 24. The storm last night raised havoc with the frame hotels and cottages here.

TENDENCY TO REVOLUTION The Fires of Discontent Kindled all Over the Land, The Time has Come When Politics Must be Discuased From the Pulpit. Mt.

Grktna, Aug. 24. Despite the heavy rain of this morning there was an outpouring of people to the National Encampment of the Farmers Alliance thla morning. When the clouds rolled away conservative estimates placed the attendance for today at over 30,000. This afternoon 2,000 people assembled in the auditorium of the Pennsylvania Chautaqua to hear Mrs.

Mary Lease, of Kansas, make her first address to a Pennsylvania audlenee. In the course of her remarks she said: "Not only are tho people of Kansas, but the people of the entire country, in the midst of the moat tremendous social and political revolution that ever swept over the nation. The tendency of the times is toward revolution. Tho fires of discontent have been kindled all over this land, and we are now living In an age of thought, and there never was a time when the people investigated political and social problema so deeply as now. When a few men in Boston can cause the suspension of twenty-one banks in a day; whtn a United States Senator can press the button and raise the price of oil fifty per cent when the Jews of Berlin and Lombard street can control tho money of America, it is time to call a halt all along the line.

Such crimes have brought about a revolution of brain and ballot. We ure in the midst of a revolution, as much religious as poli tical. The ministers of the gospel should be interested in this revolution for the cause of Jesua Chrlat and humanity. The minister who cannot cuss the policies of hla party in the pulpit had better put his filthy, dirty policies aside; they are not fit for the religion of Jesus Christ. The time has rsome when politics must be discussed from the pulpit.

Politics enters and robs the home and women should ask men in behalf of home and fireside, to throw aside their political collars, meaning the brand of their masters, and standing erect for our blood bought liberties and save our homes hlch are being taken away from us by the most infamous system of mortgages. There is need for women in politics. Why should they stand idly by while destitution and grim famine are stalking across the land? There Is no difference between famine and plenty when a privileged class la to regulate prices and control labor. Oa ths broad aun kissed fields of Kansas we raise hemp enough 13 hang every enemy to fri-e silver and every traitor to the nation. If you men are not willing to settle thes problems peaceably and without bloodshed, we ask you to remain at home and mind the baby and knit the stockings; we can settle every problem that confronts this nation by means of that bloodless weapon, "the ballot.

Never but once did our Father in hesven resort to violence, and then it was on the money lenders in the temple. Let us by peaceful or other method drive the money changers from our temple of American liberty. We need the preachers' assistance in thla matter; they have been teacnlng us how to dio for many years, now let them teach us how to llvo and we will die without any trouble. To you Christian men who pray 364 days In the year and vote your old party ticket one day It is your time to awake and a make crusade of right against wrong, bringing us back to the consti tutional liberty of our forefathers when there were no princes or peasants; no gold kings nor coal barons. The time has come when we should have less of the churchlanlty of man and more of the Christianity of Christ." Col.

J. H. McDowell, of Tennesee, followed with a short address and an nounced the Inability of Dr. McGlynn to be present The Sixteenth Regiment Wins the Prlae. Mt.

Gretna, Aug. 24. The National Guards marksmen shot for the regi mental trophy, a silver cup, offered by the State, at Camp General Berdan today.

'M ti BNERS RESTAURANT THE ORE AT PARADE. Streets Should be Cleared of Teams and Wagons, The Barnum Bailey's "Greatest Show on Earth" arrives In this city early on the morning of Tuesday, August 29, and at 9 o'clock sharp their wot Id famed street parade leaves the grounds and goes through the principal streets. This tremendous Amusement Institu tion only visits this part of the country once every two years, and the coming of Barnum Sc. Balley'a Great Shows and their parade, affords great rejoicing to thousands of people to whom our read ers may not have given a thought. Re member the little folks, what Indes cribable joy this means for them; then again, It is the poorer olasa who may net be able to afford thepriee cf admis sion to the great tents, and now have an opportunity to witness the great free parade, which certainly can be termed the greatest sight imaginable, as the grand sur and size far excels any Mardi Gras of the South, or any of the European Carnivals.

The parade will proceed through some of the principal streets, after the route haa been decided on and the Police Department notified where the parade will paas. A few policemen along the route and about the time the parade is notify all pleasure riders and teamsters, in fact drivers of every description, to keep out of the way and turn up a side street. The kindest horse will always get scared at the sight of elephants and the hundreds of other wild beasts that participate in the parade; by clearing the streets, however, of all teams and wagons, perfect safety la se cured in the first place, and secondly, It gives the ladles and our small folks on the aide walk a free and unobstructed view to see everything of thla "the Greatest Show on Earth." GREAT BALLOON ASCENSION. It Will Attract Thousands of People to East Columbia.

Mlsa Shannon is the daring- aeronaut. who ha created such aensatlons atTol- Chester Beach during the season. From all indications there will be thousands of strangers in Columbia during these two days.

A Treatment for Headache. Thla treatment, recommended by Dourdoukl, of Moscow, haa the merit of being both original and timple While examining one day a patient oomplalning of atrocloui headache be used percussion of the cranium, just as Is done for the cheat, to ascertain whether there was any apparent ma terial lesion. Two or three minutes after finishing his examination he was greatly astonished to hear his patient say that his heache had completely disappeared. The method of trsat- ment has succeeded In his hands when ever there was no material cause for headache. The percussion must be made lightly with only one or two fingers, without producing any disagreeable sensation.

but increasing gradually the intensity of the taps. In this way a sort of vibra tory massage la administered, which removes the distressing symptom. It is evident that this relief can only be momentary and that the cause must be discovered in order to be sure to cure the headache. The same means is efficacious In muscular pain in nervous, Impressionable people. It is at any rate easy to try, and, according to the old saying, can't do any harm, even If It don't cure.
