The emperor and empress of Germany met with heavy gales going to Athens to a'.tend the wedding of Princess Sophie. Pnncess Sophie and her husband have their stormy times ahead of them.

jueen Victoria has sent an Indian shawl to Princes3 Sophie for a wedding gilt. It was "great graft," as the boys say on the street, for the good old queen when she became empress of India.

If any Republican in the United States has cause to be sore" about federal patronage it is Warner Miller of New Vork, but this is the way he talked to the New York City Republican Business Men's club and we feel like throwing up our hat for such a staunch party man:

If there are any soreheads who have been disappointed in not getting the offices they wanted from Mr. Harrison, and for that reason are sulking, I do not believe they are among the business men. The business men are too deeply Interested In the success of the great principles of the Republican party to be disturbed about the distribution of petty oflices. All they ask Is that the administration shall carry out those principles.

A Brazil special says that all the bituminous mines in this part of the state have been and are running to their full capacity. These are the mines which furnish the coal of the industries, protected industries, if you please, and the joy of the free traders over a miners strike is not warranted. The strike is in the mines which furnish block coal for the residence and store now so largely heated by natural gas in the locality where this Indiana block coal formerly found a market. We don't see any help for our free trade friends in this effort to make it appear that the promises of protection have failed unless they get up a strike among the bituminous miners who are now fully occupied at an advanced rate of mining wages.

Secretary Proctor has done an un-heard-of thing, by the summary removal of some non-commissioned officers without sending his orders through, and to be accented by, the lieutenants and captains at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. The recent report of the board of inquiry showed that the officers had been practicing gross abuses on the privates as well as on the discipline of the army. The claim of the shoulder-strapped lieutenants and captains is that the disposition of corporals and sergeants is at their discretion, but inasmuch as these guilty corporals and sergeants were not disposed of sooner, their wrong-doing being notorious, we rather admire the innovation of military discipline by which the secretary administers a neat rebuke all around.

The Evansville Courier prints a column sensational article on the "invasion" of that city by the Chicago dressed beef people. The Cjurier tells pathetically of the fruitless efforts of city and state governments to bar out these Chicago monopolists, who for one reason or another are enabled to put their product on the market cheaper than the home producer. The Courier laments the hard lot of the home butcher. It is very sad to find a free trade nowspaper which has always believed in "buying where you can buy cheapest" thus bemoaning the fact that there is to be an opportunity to buy meat cheaper than from the home butcher. To be sure there are good reasons why the Chicago dealer can

oheaper. They consist principally in his rbility to "utilize" all of the animal. So there are good reasons why the English manufacturer can sell cheaper than the American. They consist principally in his ability to utilize cheap labor.

Judge McConnell, who is presiding in the trial of the men accused of the Cronin murder conspiracy, is likely to give trouble before the trial is ended. Of more than oue thousand talesmen called to act as jurymen, he excused f00 because they had read the newspapers and formed such an opinion as a man would naturally do in reading the reports of a sensational murder. In other words, a premium was set on ignorance. Yesterday the judge nearly made a worse misstep. An expert wes testifying as to the cause of death when objection was raised on the part of the defense that the witness had read the newspaper reports of testimony of other witnesses on the same subject. The judge was about to exclude the testimony when his better judgment, or his fear of the wrath to come, caused him to change his decision. If intellignt men who read the newspapers and who keep abreast with the times nre not to be depended on for proper administration of justice then we had better abandon the government.

THE SCIENCE OF BUMPS.

A well-known authority upon the brain, Prof. Starr, discusses in the current Popular Science Monthly the question of the old and the new phrenology. There is one consideration which seems to disprove the phrenological ideas of former days. It is believed that there is a relation between the extent of the Burface of the brain and mental power. But there is no relation between the extent of the surface of the brain and the siz9 and shape of the skull. The surface of the brain may be great and yet the brain itself occupy but little space. The brain is like a handkerchief which has been grasped in the hand it has many and deep foldings. There is no telling the depth and number of these foldings from an examination of the skull. We understand Professor Starr to express the opinion that there is no truth whatever in the old notion of locality for certain faculties of the mind. And yet there are certain broad differerences which have a semblance of significance. Jor instance, most people would say, from personal experience, that persons who have "bumps" over th9 eyes are apt to be strong in perceptive powers, while those whose bumps are higher up are apt to be strong in reason and reflection.

Nevertheless, the new phrenology seems in some degree tooweitsexistence to the old one. The promulgation of Gall's theory led to the experiments of Plourens designed to 6how the faleity of Gall's theory. TheEe, again, have stimulated the recent investigations which have established the new phrenology. This is a science of a few years' growth. In 1S78 Pritsch and Hitz'g, two German inquirers, noticed that when they applied an electric shock to the brain of a chloroformed dog there was movement of the limbs. They found also that one part of the brain would move the fore leg and another the hiDd leg. And they found that the right side of the brain moved the left limbs, and the left side of the brain the right limbs. The investigators then went a step further, and removed portions of the brains of the chloroformed anima's. The result was that the limba related to these portions were paralj zed.

In 1873 Dr. David Ferrier, an able and zealous young Scotchman living in London, made a still further advance upon these discoveries. Reasoning from the fact the movements were usually the results of sensations, he instituted experiments to establish the relation between sensation and the brain. If some parts of the brain govern the movement, other parts might receive sensations. Dr. Ferrier showed that the various sensations received by the organe of the body—the eye, ear, nose, etc.—were Bent to the brain, and to certain localities of the brain sight, for instance, going to one part and sound to another. Farrier's work was supplemented by that of other discoverers so that it was soon possible to lay out a map of an animal's brain, with the loculitieB of the various senses marked on it. These discoveries were, of course, the results of vivisection.

The next question was whether the brains of men had the same relationship to their organs. Up to ten years ago this was an open question. Is was, of course, impossible to vivisect a man. But. it soon became obvious that nature itself WHS giviDg instruction upon this subject which it was only necessary to heed. These reasons were in the form of disease. The physiologist removed a part of the brain and watched the loss of power in the organ connected with it. The physician, on the other band, observed the loss of power and concluded that the caute was the loss of brain tissue. Further observation hBS confirmed this view. The result of these in~estigations wae that the brains of men were mapped out among the different organs, just as those of animals had been. The eye has the area at the extreme back of the brain the ear the lower part of the side taste and sense are just in front of the ear touch a little further back. In the middle of the brnin lies the motor area, the left brain, which moves the right hand, being larger than the right brain, which moves the left band. .In left-handed people the reverse of thisjs the case. The map of the brain, like that of Africa,has large vacant spaces. "But," says Dr. Starr, "fortunately several Stanleys are on the way."

Underneath the brain are little white threads which pass downward and inward in the form of nerves. These are the channels through which the brain receives the messages of the various parte of the body, and along which it transmits impulses of speech and action. The various parts of the brains are connected, the brain thus becoming- a medium of communication between the organs. People differ much in the quickness with which the messages of the senses are received and the impulses sent out. In the good tennis player the eye must be quick to inform the brain and the brain to instruc tthe hand. Dr. Starr gives a number of illustrations of this fact, the "personal equation," as it is called. A better one, however, could hardly be found than that of the engineers on ferryboats. On going into the slip, the pilot has to ring the bell ordering the reversal of the wheels several seconds earlier for some engineers than for others.

The new phrenology teaches that a large part of our mental activities are due to memory pictures stored in the brain. The new phrenology is, no doubt, much truer than the old, and much more useful. There is one case, for instance, in which it certainly saves life—that of brBin tumors. Certain organs are connected with certain parts of the brain. When an organ is affected, it is presumed that there is trouble in the corresponding part of the brain. It is thus possible to locate and remove brain tumors heretofore considered necessarily fatal. Fifty out of seventy such operations have been successful. But the new phrenology is certainly nothing like so amusing as the old, the whole point of which was that for a small fee you could get from a professor a knowledge of yourself which otherwise you would scarcely be able to obtain in a lifetime. No more will the lecturer, with hand upon the head of the subject, be able to say, bs of old:

Just here the bump appears Of Innocent hilarity, And right behind his ears Are faith and hope and charity,

The Necessity For Furcha*e of llouds. WASHINGTON, October '26.—Now that the sinking fund requirements for the present fiscal year have been fully met by the purchase of bonds to date, the sole purpose of future bond purchasers will be to prevent, so far as possible, any undue increase in the treasury surplus. The recent offerings of bonds have been unusually heavy and the acceptances during the past two days amount to about three million dollars. The con­

tinued excess of receipts over expenditures has, however, prevented any material reduction of the surplus. According to the treasurer's statement, issued to-day, this now amounts to $46,345,000. The receipts so far this month aggregate nearly twenty-eeven million dollars, and the expenditures nearly seventeen million dollars, making a net gain of 210,000,000 for the month.

THE VOORHEES CASE AT CINCINNATI.

A

Verdict for the Client of Senator Voorhees and Mr. Lamb. Special to the Globe-Democrat.

Cincinnati,October26.—Marshall Lafferty, formerly a conductor on the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, haB been on trial in the criminal court here for several days on a charge of embezzlement. The case has attracted great attention. The Brotherhood of Conductors, believing the accused to be innocent, employed Senator Voorhees and ex-Congressman Lamb, of Indiana, and two local attorneys for the defense. Lafferty was a conductor on the Ohio & Mississippi railroad for two years, having previously been connected with other railroads in the same capacity for many years. His reputation was of the very best, and one thing urged in his favor is that, although for years a conductor, he is to-day almost penniless. Thie, too, in face of the fact that he has always been a careful man. In une, 1888, General Shattuc, the general passenger agent of the Ohio Jc Mississippi railroad, suspected that things were not as they should be. He engaged Thiel's detective agency of St. Louis, to watch Lafferty, whom he suspected of "holding out" unlimited roilroad tickets and disposing of them at scalpers' offioea. Three detectives, one of these a man named Cunningham, a woman being in the party, on June 10 rode from St. Louis to Cincinnati on the passenger train of which Lafferty was in charge. Their unlimited tickets, which they claim to have given Lafferty, he never accounted for. He denies ever having received such tickets from the detectives. Ticket Scalper Joseph, in the Grand hotel building, on the witness stand Tuesday testified that Lafferty had sold him the tickets, and that he had burned them up in a stove in the barber shop of a friend. Joseph could not remember much about the burning of the tickets, but insists that he did burn them.

Lafferty was arrested, and it was claimed by some thata large number of railroad tickets were found in his trunk at the Grand hotel, some of the Ohio cfc Mississippi people claiming his stealings in two years would amount to §30,000, though no testimony as to that has been offered in court. When Lafferty was arrested.bail was furnished and he went to southern California, from which point he was brought back to this city by George W. Ryan, secret service detective of the county prosecutor's office.

The prosecution introduced four witnesses. The first was Harry Hull, assistant paymaster of the Ohio & Mississippi, whose testimony was with reference to minor matters, he stating that Lafferty had received a salary as conductor of §115 per month.

David Agnew, chief clerk in the auditor's department of the Ohio & Mississippi, told of having examined the pouch delivered at his office by Lafferty, and which should have contained the tickets given him by the detectives and several other persons, memoranda of which he had. They were not in the pouch. The examination was made in the presence of General Shattuc and his stenographer. He continued examining the pouches for several days, but the tickets never showed up. Upon cross-examina-tion he stated to Mr. Lamb that conductors scarcely ever handed in their own pouches, they generally giving them to others to turn in. "Was Detective Cunningham near enough to General Shattuc's desk during the examination of the pouch to be able to distinguish what tickets were found?" asked Mr. Lamb, the detective upon examination Tuesday having stated that he was near enough to General Shattuc when the pouch was opened to see the tickets looked for were not in the pouch. "He was not close enough to see into the pouch," was Mr. Agnew's answer.

Constable Al. Leonard then told of having arrested Lafferty, and of the willingness with which the prisoner turned over the keys to his trunk, in which were found a number of railroad tickets of the commutation kind, such as all conductors have in their possession.

On Wednesday Senator Voorhees roBe in court and in a lengthy speech moved that the case be dismissed, on the ground that the defendant had been indicted under the wrong statute. He had been indicted for embezzlement, whereas the offense with whijh the prosecuting testimony sought to connect him was one covered by a law of 1874, entitled "An act to prevent frauds upon railroad companies." Mr. Voorhees contended that if the legislature of Ohio had believed that a charge of embezzlement covered this case it would not have passed this act, from which he read a number of extracts. [Tho judge decided adversly on Thursday and testimony for the defense showing Lafferty's good character was introduced, and the arguments begun, the case going to the jury yesterday morning. Senator Voorhees spoke that day. Yesterday morning the case went to the jury, and in the afternoon the jury returned a verdict acquitting the defendent.—ED. EXPRKSS.J

POLITICAL NOTES.

Matters in General to Interest the General Beader.

Mr. N. S. Byram, of Indianapolis, will be a candidate for nomination and election to the treasurership of state next year.

The fall elections this year come on November 5th in Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Virginia.

One half of the New York Democratic state committee is made up of men who were conspicuous for their treachery to the national ticket last year.

The state prohibition conference at Birmingham resolved that a political party victory at the polls was the only way to stop the liquor traffic. They therefore took steps to put new life into the Prohibition party.

General James W. Husted was nominated for the assembly from the Third Westchester district for the eighteenth time. The child which was born to him on the day when he was first nominated is now a voter. He broke the record as a re-elected member four years ago, and if elected speaker this year will break that record also. He Bays he has never received a petition or a remonstrance from his constituents.

The meeting of the executive committee of the Tariff Reform league of the state at Indianapolis on Tuesday, is a forerunner of that of the league and the Democratic central committee next mouth. By the 1st of December the campaign work of next year will have been begun by both parties. The Republican committee will open headquarters at the New Denison Monday, and Chairman Michener is already sending out circulars looking to an early and complete organization of the state. A poll of the state, although the election does not occur until November, 1890, is soon to be taken by both Republicans and Democrats. 1

The resignation of N. W. Nutting, "of New York, creates the seventh vacancy which has been made in the popular branch of the Fifty first congress. One other member of that body—Ryan of Kansas—voluntarily stepped down, while five—Gay of Louisiana, Townshend of Illinois, Burnes of Missouri. Laird of Nebraska, and Cox of New York—died. Three of these seven—Nutting, Ryan and Laird—were Republicans, the other four being Democrats. Successors to all of them except Nutting, Laird and Cox have already been chosen, and the places of these three will be filled on November 5. None of these vacancies have caused, or will cause, a change in the political complexion of the house, Cox's district being strongly Democratic, and Laird's and Nutting's as strongly Republican.

IKFFEKSO.V BARRACKS SCANDAL

A Criticism of the Late Order of tho Sec retary of War. ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 26.—The Post Dispatch, referring to the late order of Secretary of War Proctor, reducing to the ranks three sergeants at Jefferson barracks, as a result of the recent court of injuiry at that post, says: This action taken by the secretary of war is most unusual, if not wholly unprecedented. Sergeants are non-commis-sioned officers. They are nominated by the captain of the company, and appointed by the colonel of the regiment or, as at Jefferson barracks, by the commandant at the post. Theoretically the captain is the only officer who can select non commissioned officers and a court martial alone remove them. There have been instances of summary removal of non-commissioned officers for grave offenceB by regimental commanders, but local army officers do not remember another instance of such action being taken by the secretary of war. The paper then goes on to show that the summary action of the secretary was more than justified by the testimony taken before the court, which fully convicted these sergeants- of incompetency, extreme cruelty and rank abuse of their position, and says it was high time that such action were taken.

REGISTRATION FRAUDS.

An Attempt to Divert the End of-Election Laws in Ohio. CINCINNATI, October 28.—Gigantic frauds have been unearthed here in the registration lists of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Twenty-first wards, all negro wards, where hundreds of names of fraudulent negroes have been placed on the lists. Over fifty warrants have been issued for the arrest of the principals.

A scheme has also been exposed where ballot boxes would be changed after the polls closed. An evening paper denounces the frauds, acd says that it is the work of desperate men, and that officials must probe the matter closely or resign.

Children Play With Dynamite. FRANKLIN, Pa., October 26.—A number of school children found a bomb lc ailed with dvnamite near the school house, on the Galloway farm, near here. While attempting to open it with a knife itexploded with terrible results. Twoof the children, named Fitzgerald and Ruger, are fatally hurt, while eight others are in a serious condition. Fitzgerald's arm waB blown off and his face was terribly disfigured. Roger's right eye was blown out and his face terribly lacerated. The others were cut about the head and body by the fragments of the bomb, which had been made by some one for the purpose of killing fish.

NEW YORK, October 20.—Annie Price, Forepaugh's fat woman, died last night from the effects of a congestive chill. She was i~ years old, and married to the Chatham square museum Albino. She weighed 400 pounds when put on ice, having lost 125 pounds in her two weeks' fatal illness. At the funeral to-morrow all the museum curiosities in the city will attend. The deceased was born in Ireland, and has been a freak for eight years. She was married twice, and was the mother of two children.

A Gypsy Woman Killed In a Bear Trap. NORFOLK, Va., October 26.—While prowling in a corn field near Deep Creek, in Norfolk county, on Wedneaday night, a Gypsy woman from a camp near by got caught in a bear trap. The gun exploded and wounded the woman BO badly that she died where she was shot, and her body was found Thursday morning lying alongside the trap.

Stolen From Brown University. s»s&' BOSTON, October 2FI.—A Herald special from Providence, R. I., says thatExpert Barney, who has been investigating the books of Brown university to discover what shortage, if any, there was in the accounts of the ex-register, Gilman P. Robinson, son of ex-President Robinson, has made a report which shows that

the shortage will exceed $10,000, and that there are at least fifty instances of manipulation of the books,_ which furnish sufficient grounds for criminal prosecution.

The Philadelphia Tasvott.

CHICAGO, October 26.—Chief of Police Hubbard was shown the Associated Press dispatch from Philadelphia in regard to the man under arrest there, supposed to be Tascott, the murderer of Millionaire Snell, of Chicago. The chief said he had received a dispatch from the Philadelphia police in regard to the matter and had sent a dispatch in reply this morning, Baying that he would await the arrival of the photograph of the suspect, which has been mailed, before sending a man to identify the prisoner.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., October 26.—He was photographed and the picture will be mailed to-night. Chief Wood was closeted with the suspected murderer a long while to-day. After a few preliminary questions the young man was asked point blank if he was not Tascott. He is said to have colored perceptibly, and that he denied in a half-hearted sort of way that he was that notorious person. Chief Wood then read to him the description of the murderer, and the man attempted to argue that the points were not similar. He acknowledged that his two upper front teeth had been filled with gold, but said the tilling had dropped out. Tascott's upper front teeth are said to have been gold filled. The man also acknowledged that he had traveled extensively, but positively declined to say one word about his parents, declaring that they were respsctable, and he would not for the world have them know he was a thief. He has been recognized by frequenters of a well-known billiard resort as having played pool there. He is said to play an expert game, and in this respect he again tallies with Tascott, who is being described as being fond of the game, Bnd very proficient at it. Since bis interview with the prisoner, Chief Wood is more than ever convinced that the man is noue other than the murderer.

Highway Koltbery and ftlurUwr. KANSAS CITT, Ostober 26.—Patrick Welch, a groceryman, was knocked down and robbed of $600 by three men while on his way home from a neighboring saloon. Welch was badly beaten about the bead with a club. He was intoxicated.

CINCINNATI, October 26—This morning William Dillerman, while crossing a field back of St. Joseph's orphan asylum hi Cumminsville, the northwestern portion of the city, discovered the dead body of Jacob Grass lying beside the path. A slight cut over the right eye was the ODly mark of violence visible. His pockets were empty. Grass was given to drink, and was last seen last night in a saloon, which place he left ia company with a man named Roller. It is generally supposed that Grass died from exposure after receiving the wound during a quarrel.
