WORKED TO DEATH.

Engineer Corps of the Nnvy Inadequate for the Arduous Duties.

The M-xny Instances Where the Men Have liroken Down hii<1 Died fi%in» the Strain- Secretary Herbert to Consider the Matter.

A serious menace to the efficiency of the navy, which though existing for some time has only recently become intensilled, is the condition of the engineer corps, whose numbers, it is claimed, are wholly inadequate to perform the arduous duties exacted from them. While the numberof ships wholly dependent upon steam power lias steadily increased for the past ten years, swift cruisers replacing the old, low-powered wooden vessels, the number of commissioned engineer officers has actually decreased, notwithstanding the greater demand occasioned by the constantly multiplying complexity of our war ships. From the tacts ut hand it would appear that the duties demanded inoverheated engine-rooms have passed the endurance limit. The customary alternation of shore assignments after three years tours of sea duty no longer affords sufficient relief to the engineer officers to enable them to overcome the enormous strain tc which they have been subjected. Insufficiency in the number of engineers provided for by law and the failure to supply them with sufficient and efficient assistance are the chief factors in bringing about the deplorable condition of affairs now existing. A few instances are here given. The first is that of Chief Engineer W. W. Heatou, who was sent home from the flagship Newark, of the Soutli Atlantic, to the New York hospital, where several months’ treatment failed to restore ids shattered health. When tlie Newark was hurried down to Hra/il during the Mello rebellion, Heaton was well and strong. His death last May was attributed to what is known in the service ns fireman’s heart trouble—a fatal disease which land doctors ascribe simply to overwork. For nearly six months this year Chief Engineer II. K. Leitch was treated at the same hospital, having succumbed to exhaustion on the gunboat Marinas. He was needed for sea duty, and us soon as the hospital authorities discharged him he was ordered to the Alliance, where after a few weeks of Unix mitting strain he again collapsed. The gunboat Machias also caused the prostration of Chief Engineer 1). C. Gow ing. who, ufteffa long period of convalescence, was foreeil upon the retired

list.

The fleet engineer of the North Atlantic squadron, Chief Engineer John Low, although a man of exceptional physique, went to pieces after a brief ]ierio<i of duty on the splendid cruiser New York and was sent to the naval hospital at Norfolk last January. Down in the stifling atmosphere of the armored Amphithrite, with sometimes a temperature of ICO degrees, and alternating with a single assistant engineer in caring for the complicated machinery of that vessel, Chief Engineer John L. D. liorthwick was crazed and driven to attempted suicide lust July. Protracted ceaseless labor and worry in fitting out the Texas for her trial trip ruined the health of Chief Engineer Absalom Kirby, who had served unscathed all through the civil war. All these breakdowns occurred on the Atlantic station in the winter and spring, when work aboard ship is least trying. On the Pacific coast unequally unfortunate state of affairs prevailed. Prominent ofHo.,,-*,,»/III*, line say that it is difficult to obtain good machinists as assistants, for very recently their position has been degraded by dividing them into three classes, and the highest class to which, in future, the machinist can aspire corresponds with ids present position. Secretary Herbert’s long experience with naval affairs will undoubtedly cause him to give special prominence to tins subject. INCREASED COUNTERFEITING. Chief H-tzen, of the National Secret Service. So Kfh’ortt. Chief linzen, chief of the secret service, tri hniii-v dej.ni (ni.‘nt, Lj h ! -* sinnvta! report; shows that during the year 803 arrests were made, with few exceptions, for violations of the statutes against counterfeiting. One hundred and < ighty-one persons were convicted; IU) others pleaded guilty; 74 were indicted and are awaiting trial; 51 awaiting examination; 16 were nolle prosequied: 53 wort 1 discharged b> I’nitcd States commissioners, and 84 were acquitted. Altered and counterfeit notes, counterfeit coins, etc. (representing value), were captured during the year of an aggregate face value of almost $5,000,000. There were also captured 035 copper, steel and glass plates for l nited States notes, state warrants, postage stamps, world’s fair diplomas, < tc., also 47 dies for counterfeit coins and -‘17 molds for coins,.l)eKides a large quantity of erucil -les, photographic outfits and machinery. The number of arrests made of persons engaged in manufacturing nrd handling counterfeit coins shows a great increase in this branch of counterfeiting. Going to Church In Illnomcrs. The bicycle craze which has taken Topeka, Kan., culminated the other day in an organization of 35 young women under the name of “The Spinning Spinsters,” who have agreed to attend the First Haptist church on Sunday morning wearing bloomer costume. Itessie. hunre, tiie (laughter of a merchant, will head Hie procession. frneltj to Animal* Hut Not 31.,,. Curious features at the Danbury (Conn.) fair included a monkey who dodged rubber balls thrown at him. An agent of the Humane society interfered in behalf of the monkey, and a colored youth took his place.

OUR CITIES SAVED BY RUSSIA Roruiirkable Statement Made by the isrand l>uaM Alexlfl. Two interesting and significant stories were told in the Drool.lyn navy yard the other day which have a special bearing <m events now in progress of development. The first relates to the young German emperor, who made sevrrul visits to the white squadron when it was at Kiel. One day he was talking with a celebrated American captain. “Captain," said he, “1 see that most of your country’s warships are fast cruisers. What do you call them, ah, commerce destroyer:;, do you not?” “Yes, emperor,” said the American. “We’ve been watching you on this side,” the emperor went on, “and we have come to the conclusion that th?se ships are built for u war with England. What other nation has any commerce to destroy?” There was a silence after this, for our captain had said more than he intended. Grand Duke Alexis, who is a full Russian admiral and the head of the liussian navy, was also a frequent visitor to the Americans at Kiel. One day, watching the Columbia, the grand duke said lo the captain: “I’m glad you Americans are rebuilding your fleet. Do you know what most impressed me when I visited your country ? The first thing was your wonderful natural wealth and the second the absolutely inadequate means at your disposal for natural defense. Twice in my career I have heard the project of capturing one or two of your great cities and holding them for ransom deliberately discussed by officers of European fleets whose countries had hard work to make ends meet. And they meant it, too, but they were told that Russia and the United States are friends.” USEFUL BALE OF COTTON. AnsiMed (he Actors to Carry Out Their Show Mill Pledges. “You may say what you ph ase about the Mexicans,” said J. G. Walling, of Denver, who has spent a couple of years in the republic in the interests of some silver mines in which he is part owner, says a Houston Post reporter, but when they make a law over there they enforce it. One of their laws is that when a circus or theatrical company of any kind bills a town they have got to carry out the programme just as advertised, or the authorities swoop down on them and gobble the door receipts and generally lire the whole company into jail. So, you see, it don’t do for them to blow their horn too much before the gentle Aztecs. I remember one summer that Lilly Clay’s burlesque company advertised to show In San Luis Pctosi. They had gorgeous colored lithographs up all over town, showing the giddiest lot of blondes that you ever saw, not overliurdened with clothes, and displaying the most generous contours and proportions. The house was packed and the company came out in the grand butterfly ballet, but alas! the generous proproportions and the graceful contours, save in a few exceptions, were not as advertised. In a few minutes the officers of the law had the company in the toils.” “Did they break up the show?” “No. The manager held a consultation with the officers and settled the matter by sending for half a bale of cotton, and the troop retired to their dressing-rooms and emerged later on more than fulfilling the promised glories of the bill posters. Tbe show then proceeded and everybody was happy.” Mr. Walling says this is true and it will have to go. ONE ON HAWKSHAW. Ho Raided a Den of Mcenaed Housebreaker* and Robbers. One of the detectives connected with the bureau at the city hall went into a barber shop the other evening and sat in one of the chairs to be shaved, says the Philadelphia Record. While the barber was making ready to shave him he started one of his characteristic conversations. Receiving short answers lo every question that he put to the deteethe, however, the tonsorial artist brought the tete-a-tete to a close and siJence reigned supreme. The local Tiawkshaw was in half a doze while the barber y.ns hvgdly engaged hi app!\ ing a ialhev on his face, when suddenly the sound of a hammer striking against some metallic substance was heard emanating from the rear of the barber shop. Then voices were heard in the followingdialogue: “That was a good job that we done out at <iermantown last week, Pete.” “Yes, that was the neatest piece of work we done for some time; there was so little trouble with it.“ The detective at onee opened his eyes and became interested. The first voice continued: “It brought us in $325 and we had better—” His conversation at this stage wns interrupted by knocks on the door and hearing the detective’s voice colling out: “Leave me in or I’ll break down the door,” one of the men in the buck room threw the door open. The Hawkshuw, expecting to find a den of counterfeiters or burglars, rushed through the door and fell into a piuml.cr’o shop, where two of the employes were working.

Uualltled to Trarh. The esteem in which the sailor’s calling is held in Massachusetts coast towns is indicated by a story that comes from Martha’s \ ineyard. A teacher was wanted and a sailor applied for the position. lie had to pass an examination by tin- committee, and lie trembled at the ordeal, being sadly unlearned in book lore. The chairman began the examination: “Mr. .what is the shape of the earth?” “It is round, sir,” the candidate answered. “How do you know?” "Recause I hafe sailed around it three times.” “That will do, sir!” He received his “certificate” as a teacher without another question being asked.

ROTTED HER SPINE. Slngnlar Misfortune of tin liullaoa Girl W ho IIad Swallow **tl h l*in. A large number of physicians who were acquainted with the case of Yer la, the 12-year-< Id daughter of Frank Chrisman, a i rominer.t busir man of Middletown, near Munch', Ind., wore unanimous in saving that it was the most peculiar case of the kind on record, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. This girl died at her home the other evening after terrible suffering for four years. When at the age of six ars she'swallowed a pin. She did not suffer any from the effects, but 1 r frightened parents summoned a physician, who informed them that it was an impossibility to remove the pin, but that it would soon work out atsonie jiortion of the body. Two years later she commenced suffering with pains in her back, and it soon became necessary that she remain in bed. A physician Avas called, but could not explain the cause of the pain. Other physicians Avere called and the cause wasexplained one day when they discovered the point of the pin protruding through her back just below the shoulder blades. The physicians removed the pin and from that time until her death her suffering was continual. The pin having worked its way through the spinal column, caused a separation of the suture connecting the vertebrae, which immediately commenced to decay. A hump formed on her back and assumed large proportions. After her death an examination was made which revealed that the spinal column had entirely rotted in tAvain, four of the vertebrae being completely gone. The ribs were, of course, disconnected and were floating.

SLAIN BY AMBITION. Tlje 8i*d Story nelilnd a Salcido That Ha* Startled Vienna. There is an interesting story underneath a little dispatch from Vienna, to the effect that the aged Field Marshal Lieut. Gustav von Dunst-Adelsheim, one of Austria’s most distinguished veteran soldiers, had committed suicide after killing his wife, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. This fine old soldier was married to a Baroness Abele, a lady almost 25 years younger than himself. She Avas known in Vienna as a stylish and ambitious woipan. According to her oAvn station in life, and in the high military rank of her husband, she maintained a fashionable home, keeping full pace with the nobility. She was enabled to do so, as her husband drew Lyeariy salary of 14,000 Austrian florinDqabout $6,000), and the couple moreover Avere childless. But Avhen the general retired from the arm j’ his revenues dropped down to $1,800, for the pensions paid the Austrian army officers are extremely small. The baroness could not part Avitli luxuries and social ambition, and the fond old general yielded to her demands and kept up his costly residence in Vienna, instead of going to some cheaper place. The general speculated to increase his revenue. He failed, lieing heavily in debt. The gallant soldier, who had faced the enemies of his empire and country in more than a dozen battles, could not bear the thought of seeing his name disgraced, and resolved to die. IHs wife also preferred death to social ruin, and so they ended the struggle with a revolver.

HEADSMAN OF NAPLES. Death in Lxtlc of a Man Who Had Taken Many Live*. On the little island of t'stiea. 40miles from Palermo, Italy, there died the oilier day a man who was for years the. terror of the people of Naples and the kngdom of the Two Sicilies. He was Gaetano Impellizzeri, once the headsman under Ferdinand II. of Naples. The useless executions attributed to Impellizzeri, says the New York Tribune. are countless, and with the cruelty which he showed led to his denunciation by Mr. Gladstone 40 years ago in tlie philippics which the statesman directed against Ferdinand. Tlie executions were only in part public; it v. as tlie executions in secret—usually at night—which gave the man his power. It was he who executed in San Francisco place, Naples, the Calabrian Agendas Mllnnoque, who on December 9, 1856, had made a bayonet thrust nt Kina Ferdinand II.. and patriots miiuiiieriibit; oi l dii'ie I,,.', , ictikiii.. When Garibaldi entered Naples in September, 1800, the excited populace went in search of the hated headsman, but he eared much for his own life, although he thought little of that of others, and escaped with his wife. Later he was imprisoned on the island of I'stiea, where he became an officiv of the fort built in those days to protect the island against pirates. He was iu receipt of a pension of five dollars a month—much more than he deserted. Ho was 81 years old at the time of his death.

A GRIM AMUSEMENT.

Torture Self-Inflicted While i’layiujt a Furious (lame. A custom of the Abyssinian braves is described by Pearson’s Weekly. The girls themselves play an active .part there. When young people are gathered for amusement, one of them will begin peeling a straw of green millet, which is full of pith. Her lover’s blood runs cold, ]»robnbly, hut he must smile or own himself a craven. When she lias cut the pith into bits an inch long, he stretches out his bare arm. The example set, every girl who respects herself and has a lover follows it. The young men form a circle Avith | arms extended. Biitheiy, then, with . many a jest, doubtless, the maidens arrange their lifts of pith upright in “ome * lanciful design on the bare tlesh, and ; set them alight. They are nearly an ! inch thick, and they burn very slowly, [ hut the hapless youth must stand and smile as well as he can till the blood of the seared flesh extinguishes them.

LAWYERS WERE HARD FIGHTERS. DUtluguieficd Attorney* Who Uattled limvely for Their Client*. Clients love a hard fighter, and the onlookers are impressed with his zeal. In nay own experiena*, says a writer in tlie Southern Magazine, 1 have had eases w here 1 advised my clients not to sue because I was sure they had no chance, and although they followed my advice, instead of employing other counsel, they refused to pay a reasonable fee, and in one case left me to pay the court costs. And 1 have seldom advised a client to compromise or submit to arbitration that 1 did not displease him. It requires moral courage to advise otic against his inclinations, but it is sonuMines a lawyer’s saered duty. Whatever Way lie said as to its morality or true wisd^n, yet 1 must say 1 regard this aggressive and partisan spirit more conducive to modern success than profound judgment, for I have seen lawyers succeed chiefly by reason of it in whom the logical faculty was not at all conspicuous. In speaking of success, it Avill lie observed that I do not mean the eminence of such men as Erskine, Wirt, Webster, William Pinckney, Rufus Choate and Charles O’Conor, but such success as is attained by the leading members of the bar in every town or city of the United States, who have a good practice, sometimes very lucrative, though they are unknown to fame and forgotten outside their neighborhood when they are gone. PASSING OF THE ELEPHANT,

n i mil i n'WUln 11

It I* Said That the Circus Favorite I* 7. coming Scarce. There is a Avail in the New Ledger that there is every renrou 7*' believe that elephants, like tf.’ Aircrican bison, are fast <^sappe8. Iu 1886 a worker in ivory in Sheffield. Ei.~land, endeavored, in all ser.' us . ,s, t-; figure out how long theelepha.. \ ould last. His own house, he said, had in the one year used 1,980 pairs of tusks,' which meant the killing of more than that many animals, for not every elephant yields two tusks of Ivory to the ivory hunter. That the African species is fast disappearing t here is littledoubt. There are. many elephants In Ceylon, atul from that island most of those that are displayed in traveling menageries and zoological gardens come. The showman lias very little use for the African elephant, because he is less intelligent than his Indian cousin and much meaner in disposition. The African elephant is tlie longer-legged and smaller-bodied animal. Jumbo, who was a half-breed, had the long legs of tlie African and the body of the Indian elephant. Jumbo was undoubtedly the largest of all elephants, standing 12 feet eight inches in height. The largest elephant remembered in India was one ridden by the viceroy in 1680, which stood ten feet four inches. Col. Pollock records that tlie king of Bunnah hod a saered white elephant which Avas two inches taller.

MOUND BUILDERS’ CORN. After Uurlal for Onturle* It Grows Uko Seed drain* A curious experiment was made this summer by Charles Graham, a nurseryman of this county, and the result lies upon tlie desk before your correspondent as he writes, says a letter in the Indianapolis News. Last year Mr. A. A. Graham, of Mount Vernon, lud., made a visit to the vicinity of Alton, HI., and called upon a friend, who had just opened a mound builders’ burial mound. Upon the mound grew several large trees, among them an oak four feet in diameter, and thus the age of the mound was established as considerable. In it were found the crumbling remains of bones, and among other utensils a large pot, containing a maize very much like our present common red corn. Of this Mr. Graham secured several grains, and on returning home planted it. It grew, and the result was that he produced a strain of corn which is most likely the ancestor of the corn we now cultivate. In spite of having been in the grave for certainly not Jess than 400 years, it grew very rapidly and produced a large, well-shaped ear upon a fairly tall stalk. Tlie ear is well set, the grains being somewhat smaller than any of the present varieties, except pop-corn. In shape the grain resembles dried sweet corn, being rough and wrinkled. In taste ij injweet nrd. agreeable.

AYulklng One Thountnd Mile* to Church. The history of Canada, especially its earlier history, preserves the story of many a deed of heroism and devotion on the part of Cbristinn missionaries who worked and perished among tlie Indians, but there are few stories which reflect so much credit on Indian piety ns that published from Quebec. Montaguais and Eskimos came from the southern shore of II udson straits toworship in the province of Qoc>ice.. TBb-in-volved a tramp on foot of 1,000 miles. No pilgrimage in the middle ages was ever made in circumstances of greater hardship. The citizen who is loath to walk a block to church along a smooth, dry pavement ought to think of these Indians plodding 1,000 miles through an inhospitable country, through forests, across rivers, mountains and lttl.es, to render a duty they oaa c to their religion. From the Sana*. And apropos of sea bathing, nn amusing incident happened on the beach one morning. The girls were drying their bathing suits while sitting a la Turque on the sand, And one who Avas hatless and stockingless wns holding a parasol over her to keep the sun from burning her bare legs and freckling her nope. With hardly a moliiciil'r, wuining it voliiUi' iui.i ,o i'uiii, and there was a gathering up of wraps and a scampering for the bathhouses from ail except the maid Avit.h the parasol. She danced out into the blinkers, parasol and ail, and was going to finish her hath in spite of the rain, but she wasn’t going to get her “hair out of curl.”

The camel is a beast of groat strength and endurance. Nothing hurts it until the proverbial “last straw '' is added to its burden. The human digestive system is very much like a camel. You can impose on it to a wonderful degree. It is really astonishing how much abuse it will stand before it breaks down. “The la-t straw” doesn't break it down, but it makes it stop work. Continually put the wrong things into your stomach, and digestion will get weaker and weaker. Before long, something worse than usual will be eaten, and will go through th stomach into the bowels, and there it v ill stick—that’s constipation Let it continue, and there is nothing bad that it will not lead to. Nine-tenths of all human sickness is due to constipation. Some of the simplest symptoms are coated tongue and foul breath, dizziness, heartburn, flatulence, sallowness, distress after eating, headaches and lassitude. A little thing will cause constipation, and a little thing will re!ie\'e it. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a certain cure for constipation. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules, mild and natural in their aetion. There is nothing injurious about them. You can take them just as freely as you take your food. There is no danger that you will become a slave to their use. They will cure you and then you can stop taking them. Send for free sample package of from 4 to 7 doses. World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. A GREAT BOOK FREE. Over 680,000 copies of Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser have been sold at the regular price, $1.50.

There is another republican committee Bcandiilo. Members of the Indiana republican state committee charge that Chairman J. K. Gowdy has used the cash of the committee to promote his own re-election as chairman, by which a deficit has been caused in the funds. This charge is by Attorney General W. A. Ketcham, who is a member of the committee, and alleges that he makes the declaration on actual knowledge of the fact. It appeaie’-h at Gowdy has been visiting all counties of the state to work up influence in his own behalf (or re-election. KetcharJ says that he has expended the money of the committee in paying his traveling expenses. We may look to almost any state for the next republican scandal to break out. The prediction of tlie death and burial of tlie democratic party “in a few more years,” is abused. Three years ago the republican party, which bilieved itself securely intrenched all along the lines, and which had admitted new states to keep its lost senate and got 145 out 444 electoral votes, lost tlie senate, elected scarcely a t hird of the liouse. In view of these f icts of history, a wise politician will not prophesy the demise of cither of the two great parties.
