STEAMBOAT BURNED
Des'rcctioa of tlio Eralish. Johnson at Jackson, Ali-ima, Wednesday Night. -Toll Particular of the Disaster by One or tl Officers of the Steamer Twenty-four Persons Believed to Have Perlahed. Mobile, Ala., Dec. 30. News was received here late last nlrr'it f the burning ol the steamer Bradish Johnson, used as a board-irfr-hotise at Jackson, on the Bigbee branch of the Tombi bee Uiyer, eleven mile3 above iobile, on Wednesday nisht. There is no telegTaph line to that point. Tiie Johnson was lying with her nose in the bank, and a sang-plank out A. C. Yeall, one of t'ae bose, pave the following description of the ire: "I had just gone to bed. when I heard tha cry of ßre. I got into my pants, seized my other efTect.3, aad rushed out into the cabin. There had been a party of men oat there playing cards, and they eaw the smoke rising. AVben I got into the cabm tne fire eemed to be in the stateroom aft of the pantry on the port side. There was an old a an, an Alabaruian, ia the room next to min. I don't know his name, lie was asleep when I went tD bed, for I heard him snoring. Whether 1 got him awake or not, I don't know. I lamraered and pounded away with all my might. You see, the smoke wa.-already filling ttf cabin, ani the men were running around like mad. I hardly kne what happened. Iran forward through the cabin, and rny eyes and mouth rjot s-i fall cf smoke that I did not know where I was goinq;. The Efgroes were mostly lodged on the lower dtck. They all came running forward about the tame time we got there. The ve;s3l burned very fas, and was a solid man of "arms in a momeit. "When I bad reic'ied tte bank I turned around and saw the pilothouse and texas f.tll in with the ce.roes. They fled np the bir.k in a mob and rashel to the woods, where they huddled like sheep and coukl not be persuaded to com9 down to the boat. They knew that forne of their i "number were lost in the burning boat, and they were seemingly superstitious about it. 'They did not want to go near the place; si the boat became a mas of llimes fnd burned for about half an hour, ".rhen she sunk. As soon tu I got ashore here was a report that there were men in the water. SkiiF were manned and sent to their rescue. Ttsey picked up Mr. Paly, one of the Carson men. William Ne?.l, aa Eajtiitbrnan, in one of the sriiTj, had two negroes right near him, but they eank out of sight. William Dowüng, the cook, who reeeivtd slight burn3 on the face and hands, found a white man lying in a state room doer. Dan llilltouse came up and the txo dragged the man, snppoaed to be McElroy, -out cn the boiler deck. The man was no-cor.-cious from the effects of smoke. Just then the flame3 burst out on the side, and Dowlinsr jumped over the railing to save his life. Hillhouse, however, saidhe heard a man groaning just inside the cabin, and he went back to resctia this wan. He never cane out again, and he was not seen alive aft jr that, and it id believed he was sacriS;el in the noble attempt to sive another man's life. There is no tilling just how many lost their lives in the lire. 6ome say that ten ethers are nii.sin, but all Iknowarethetwo negroes, Lewis Adams and B2njimia Bish, who were diowned, ami two whites missing. 3 think two other white men wore burned with the beat, and there must have been others, for I don't think they had a chance to be awakened and then escape, for it was all I could do with the smartest kind of running to get cut alive. Had the fire broken out one hour later, when all the men would have been in bed, none of U3 would have - gscaped. As to the origin of the fire I know nothing- The cook says the boys told him before he went to sleep that the tires in the galley were all out aad everything safe." IThe Bradish Johnson was bailt in the West for wbat Is called the Tunisians larer roast trade trat is, from New Orleans down to the passes of the Missis&ippl. Captain J.

After his death, Mr. Ritrenhonse Moore bought her, Two years - aeo she was condemned and went out Of commission. She was not insured, and ber value was nominal. . JUDGE GRESHAM. Incidents in His Honor' Career A Friend to Newspaper Men. Knqnirer.l Uany interesting incidents are told of Gresham'0 career. On the bench he is an excellent judge of human nature and seldom mistakes nis man. In the trial of crimioal caes be invariably has a private talk with the oflender. He questions a culprit closely, and quickly detects any extenuating circumstinc?3 in his case. Upon one occasion a former citizen of high standing was tried and convicted in his court for perpetrating frauds in the pension oC-ce. The man's wife and family were present, and the scene was a sad one. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Gresham called the prisoner to the bar, but, instead of passing sentence upon him, said, kindly: "Go home and spend the night with your family, and report to me at 10 o'clock tomorrow. You may not see your home again for a long time." This extraordinary action caused much comment and some criticism, but the guilty man did not break the court's confidence. He was on band promptly, and was sentenced to two years at hard labor in the Michigan City Prison. Without exception, newspaper men are stanch fr.ends of Gresham. His uniform courtesy and frank disposition win their friendship. His outspoken manner in politics ha. naturally created some hostility toward him in party ranks, and his success and greatness have in like manner provoked iealousiea. Gresham, however, can not justly be accused of smallnes of character nor charged with doing an unmanly act. His contempt for things insincere and for party Eolitica is pronounced. The average citizen ereabouts is quick to resent a personal fling at Gresham. Even those whose first choice for President is Harrison denounce the warfare that has been begun against Gresham. . One day Judge Gresham was listening to - a tedious argument in an important suit which was attracting public attention. A reporter of an Indianapolis pa Der was awaiting the verdict. The hour was late, and the reporter had many other calls to make. He prew impatient, and finally, during a halt in the proceedings, he slipped np and wbis- . perea to tne court: 'Kay, Judge, how are you going to decide - Uiis case r' The Judge looked surprised, but rewarded the young man's nerve by replying: "Well, Charley, I am going to decide it lor the defendant, but yon mast not say anything until 1 ao it." On another occasion, just after Greshara's appointment as Postmaster-General, but before he had left the bench, he was hearing a railroad case In chambers. A reporter tim idly opened the door and stepped into a cir cle of distinguished attorneys, such as Sen ator .McDonald, the late ex-Governor Baker and Abrain W. Ilendrickj. The J adze . areeted the intruder kindly, beckoned him to advance, and stopped the case long enough to explain its nature. The reporter was about withdrawing when the JuJga said 'lon't be in a hurry. Have you a knife?" The cutlery was produced, the Judge opened & box cl ciiOJce cigars, raised them around and then again proceedings berrun. He had a habit of doln? such things, yet never surjenaerea toe aignity aiiacned to his court. When Major Calkins wa3 a candidate for Governor two years ago the Democratic press published a private remark made concerning xnm vj ureDam. ic was aimpiy this: ."There ia nothing in him!" Gresham did not deny it, and he was severely criticised nj .Republicans. Two months later, ho' rer, when Calkins failed In the joint debate wild. Governor Urar. when he was defeated. and ever since, the Republican txirtr in thii Ctat has been reiterating Qresham'a senti-
xnent. It proved In Calkins' case, as in tboe of the Government offenders, that he seldom made a mistake in sizing up his man. As is well known, he has the utmost contempt for Dudley, Dorsey and that gang and their method, and has never failed to announce himself. Thus it ia that those men took un Senator Harrison, and may always be found with him against Gresham, at least. There la no danger, however, that the Judge will be nominated for the Presidency. II u boom is premature, and schemes are already on foot to lay him out. FULFILLMENT OF A DREAM.
Tbe Dentl of an Knglisliman That Was P.evealed In a Vision. ILoudon TitBits.1 I was out walking with my friend, Henry Wilson, when, turning suddenly to me, he said: Kastes, do you believe in dreams?" "It depends upon what you mean by believing in dreams." I answered. "I believe that people have dreams, but I don't believe, as some say, that one can tell the future by dreams. fc?oroe say that dreams go by contraries, but I don't believe that, cither. I don't think dreams have anything to do with what is going to happen." "I hope you are right," he said, earnestly, "for I had a horrible dream, or rather nightmare, last night. I dreamed that I should die to-day." "Well," I said, "I hope you don't believe that." And we walked on in silence for some time, but Wilson began again: "I should not have paid any attention to my dream last night, only I dreamed it three times, and each time the dream was more vivid than before." "I believe in cause and effect," I answered. "Ferhaps you took an indigestible Küpper last night:" Wilson did not seem to appreciate having supper mentioned as the cause of bis bad night, and so did not deign to take any notice of my last remark. Well, we walked on. Other topics were diäcus.ed, and we both seemed to have forgotten al! about Wilson's dreams of the night before. After we had walked oa for Fome distance we came to a town, in which lived some people whom I wanted to call on. They were old friends of the family, and quite unknown to Henry Wilson, so I said to b i nu : "Wihon, I haye to call on some friends in this town; would you like to come with me, or would you rather wait for me?" "Oh, how long will you be? ' he asked. "It is fome little distance to my friends' house," I replied; "I don't think I could be back in less than an hour and a half." "I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take a boat and go on the river," he fcaid, "and I'll be here again in an hour and a half, and then we can walk back together." The river ilowed through the town, and Wilson proposed rowing away from the town. "Very weJ," I returned, and I set off to my friends. I had seen my friends, aud I was returning to the place at which we had agreed to meet, when I paw that the meeting place was surrounded by a small crowd of people. As I approached I wondered what could be the natter; surely, it could not be anything connected with Wilson's dream. I put that thought out of my mind in an instant as being absurd. I thought it was rather a bother that this crowd should hare auerabled arour.J tbe particular spot at which we had agreed to meet. 1 asked what the matter was. The old man who lets ont tbe boats told me what it ropant. He eaid: "There's a gentleman drowned." "Where was he drowned?'' I asked. "He was drowned there," he said, pointing to a rather dangerous part of the river. "11. was found only ten raiuutes ago." " here is he now? ' I inquired. Tbe man pointed to an old diiused bath-hOU5-e. "He's lying therp," he said. As 1 knew that Wileon had gone out boat ing, end as somebody bad been found dead in that part of the river in which he was boating. I could not repress a shudder at tne thought of who the poor gentleman lying dead In tbe boat-house could be. I went into the boat-house and saw the body. It was the body of my friend, Henry Wilson. I have simply stated the facts. I do not say that Wilson's aream was a foreshadow ing of the death which was to meet him during the day, but I do say that if his dreams did not foretell his death it is the most ex traordinary coincidence that has ever come within my experience. A Forgetful Speaker. Correspondence New fork Herald. First Assistant Postmaster-General A. E. Stevenson, who is one of the best story-tellers in public life, tells the following at his own expense: "While making my third campaign for Congress in the Iiloomlngton District in Illinois I was called np one nicht to address an andieoce at a small place in Logan County. An-old.time Democrat living in the town was called upon to preside at the meeting and to introduce the speaker. He said : h p.i f.n rs and t ellow-Citizf.ns: I am glad to see so many of yon out to hear the issues of the day aiscussed by our distin guished and well-known standard-bearer. His name Is a household word throughout this Congressional district, which he has represented twice in the national Congress. While there he commanded the attention of the leading men of Illinois, and the ad miration of the leading men of the United States. He is here to discuss the issues of the day before you. I now have the honor and pleasure of introducing to you Mr. "Ihen turning tome he whispered, nerv ously: I3 d if I don't forget your name! I was nearly choked with laughter," con cluded Mr. Stevenson, "but I managed to give him the information he desired, audi Lave oftw wondered if the people of that place ever knew what it was that tickled me fcO." She Was Sorry for Him. Boston Transcript. "I used to think that men had an awfully eay time," said Mr. Franks, "but I've changed my mi i i hereafter I'm going to take all the care oil Charles I possibly can. You see, the other morning I told Charles we wanted some wood, and to be sure and rder some. Well, I waited all day, and that woed didn't come, and I was almost angry, for. said I, 'he has forgotten it, as usual.' "Charles didn't come home until late, long after I had retired. He bad to go to his club, and It seems he was detained until after midnight. He was awfully restless, and kept talking in bis sleep, saying every once in awhile, 'Give me another dollar's worth of chips.' So you see I knew that his mind was troubled about that wood. How much it must have worried him, to thus disturb his rest! Hereafter I'm going to attend to all bouse matters myself. Poor man! be has enough to bother him without doing home errands."

INOCULATION FOR INSANITY.
Wrecked Reasons Itestored and Weak Sllnds Blade Powerful. ISan Francisco Alta-Californlsn. "I can give you a piece of valuable and interesting information," said a well-known local scientist to an Alta reporter yesterday, "but the source of your information must cot be divulged." The desired promise being given, he proceeded: "lUron Von Humberg, the eminent scientist, who holds a higher relative position among the scientific lights of Berlin than Pasteur doea In Paris, and whose discoveries in the realms of science exceed in number and value those made by any other savant of the present generation, has teen traveling incognito in the United States for the past three months, aad is now installed in tbe Palace. He is especially interested in investigations tending to discover the causes and cure of insanity, and expects to find California a fruitful field, owing to the prevalence of brain diseases in this State." Thanking his informant, the reporter hastened to the great caravansary mentioned, and, stepping up to the desk, was about to state the object of his call to the gentleman standing there partially secreted behind a huge diamond pin, when he Buddenly remembered Ihf.t the scientist was traveling incog., and hid, in all probability, instructed the autocrat of the register to deny his presence in the hotel. Consequently, the thoughtful scribe suddenly diverged toward the elevator, stepped into'the cage, an4, carelessly dropping a standard aollar oa the Uoct just where its glimmer could bast be aborted in the shadow cast by the feet of the colored attendant, reu.arked, in his ordir ary, every day tone of raice: "Direct me to Von llumberg's room " "All right, sah," briskly replied the brunette servitor, and as the cage shot up to tbe eighth floor he smiled as largely as though the first watermelon cf the season had already fallen within his relentless gra?p. 'rust ooah to de right, sih: list de oder aide ob de co't." TLankiEg him for his promptness, the re porter nonchalantly etoopeu down, and, skillfully rescuing the silver piece from iis dangerous'proximity to the soleof the guide's biggest foot, hurried to the designated direc tion. Happing loudly on the door, the scribe's ears w ere greeted by a chrill cry of "GVjme in!" Entering without further a do, he was sur prised to tied bimself apparently alone f n tne room, whica was tiie hrat of a suite. when he was startled by the same shrill voice, this time just over his head, crying out"A merry Christmas! Take a seat. The pro fessor will be present in a moment." Ufifdily glancing up, t.he'visitor was no litle surprised at discovering that tbe talker was a larse parrot, and that from his eyes seemed to shine forth an intelligent greeting that wtss almost numau. Somewhat recovering his composure, he eated himself as requested, taking a position br&ide the center-table, when instanter a pretty white rabbit bounded into his lap, and thence on to the table. While the visitor was wondering what was to occur next, the rabbit pushed an album toward him, and. commencing at the first picture, proceeded slowly to turn over leaf after leaf. About one half of the contents had been viewed, when an inner door opened and a small but fcne-löoking old man, who proved to be the eminent scientist, entered the room. Speaking slowlv, and with a strong Ger man accent, the professor asked: "What does the gentleman wish?" Stating the object of his call, the scribe was somewhat discouraged at the angry frown which tatted across tbe face of the professor. It was only transitory, Lowever, for the caller almost immediately succeeded In establishing a peace footing between himself and the representative of German scientific thought. ' ) es, i have made a specialty of brain dis eases," tarn the professor in response to the interviewers questioning, "and I may say without boasting that I have recently made a discovery in brain treatment that will astonish the world by emptying the insane asylums." "Cut, even though you were capable of curing every insane person confined, would not the daily supply ct patients still coninue unabated? ' asked the astonished inter viewer, in doubt as to whether he was in the awful presence of a German joke or of a dangerous lunatic. "Not at all." rer-lifd the Drofessor. "Look here at these." he added, taking from a i drawer a handful of what appeared to be mill toothpicks, each bearing a Latin In scription written on the side with a fine pen. "Pasteur inoculates for the rabies, but with these I inoculate for insanity. Insan ity is nothing more nor less than a poisoned brain. This point (picking una quill and looting at the label) was dipped in the viros distilled from the brain ol a man who died insane, and in whose family insmity bad been hereditary for unknown generations past, the disease manifesting itself in the males at the age or thirty and in the females at twenty-five. This victim left a large family, every member of which I have since inoculated with some of this virus, with the result that seven of his descendants have not only passed the fatal ae in safety, but that all of the members of the family are now noted for their superior intelligence and great brain power." "ou perceive that each of these quills bears a distinctive mark, which I will explain. This one, for instance, contains virus from the brain of a raving lunatic whose malady was clearly traceable to a disappointment in love. Here is another which contains the essential poison of the diseased brain of a victim to money losses. Bo on throughout the entire bunch, each special cause of mental maladies is .represented, a result reached by a careful investigation of, and selection from, the brains of patientswho have died in the German asylums duritg the past fifteen years. "I am prepared not only to inoculate persons liable to any form of mania, but also to cure the dise ase in any of its developments. One great obstacle has been in my way, and that was the seeming impossibility ot so combining the different varieties of virus as to make one inoculation proof against all forms of mania. This obstacle, happily, ia now in the way of a speedy overthrow, thanks to a simple discovery which I most accidentally made since my arrival in this State, but which I am not yet so thoroughly familiar with as to enable me to explain, even if I so desired. 'The virus, however, is not the sole agent in making these cures. Medicine, no matter how potent it may be, can only root out the disease. Nourishment is then needed to strengthen and build up the mental system, just as nourishing food is required by the convalescing patient who has suffered from physical disease. "That nourishment I have here in this rubber bag, in the form of a gaseous vapor. The base of this vapor is phosphor and osmazome, I may tell you; but the other components, of which there are three, you must not learn. "The method of procedure Is easily explained. This parrot which greeted you with such intelligence could not make an intelligible sound when given to me three weeks ago. For one week I subjected it to all the manifold forms of insanity, curing it of each in turn. "A little slit here in the top of the bird's scalp, a careful and almost infinitesimally small separation of the cranial bones, a scratch of the quill on the brain matter, and the thing was done. "When the etlects had worn oT, then came the nourishment. This long rubber pipe, which is attached to the bag containing the vapor, end, as you perceive, in what appears to be a line cambric needle. That 'needle,' however, is In reality a hollow tube, through which, by a slight pressure on the bag, tbe vapor ia injected into the skull, filling up the vacant spaces between the gray matter and the crown. The aparture is then closed, a stitch taken in the scalp, and the bird, from a crazy or Jtupid animal, is then susceptible
of unlimited cultivation and education.
ago could not utter an intelligible sound, dow has a vocabulary in German and English of over 400 words. The rabbit was operated upon in like manner, and though, of course, it can hot be made to speak, it g'vej ample proof that it has a clear conception of what ia said to it. "If by my discoveries such wondrous mentality can be given to the brute creation, what limits can bound the miracles which may and will be wrought upon human minds? "I claim, and am prepared to prove by ocular demonstration, that not only can I restore the wrecked reason of mankind to its pristine strength, but that by means of this vapor I can add power and brilliancy to the ablest and brightest of intellects. Themen of mark of to-day are but mental pygmies compared with what the men will be who subject themselves to a course of treatment at my hands. "Now, you are liable to fall in love some day, and meet with a disappointment. J u"it let me protect you against any possible mental edit eta by jabbing you with this "What! you don't want to be inocalated against falling in love! Well, may be you are elilicted with a mania for buying Consolidated Virginia when it is high, and shortening when it is low. Just let me .' Oh, all right, if you don't want to be protected. I3ut if I can be cf any service to you at any time with this wonderful discovery of mine'don't hesitate to call on me." And the interviewer politely bowed himself out, wonderiug what was to become of the large and influential class now wholly dependent for a living upon the follies and mental weaknesses of others. Two Trains Pass On the Same Track. Chicago Hcrald.l "Talkin" 'bout peculiar railway accidents," said an old brakemen with two mashed, crooked hands and a weather-beaten face "talkin' 'bout peculiar railway smash-ups, let me ted you 'bout one I seen whea a youngster. It was 'bout twenty years ? go, an' created heaps of excitement at the time, though I suppose most folks has forgotten it by this time. But I hain't. Mighty good reason why I shouldn't forget it I was there, I was, an' pretty nigh got done up. "It was down on the old Erie Iload, ia York State. I was a track-walker, an' one dark night was out on my section down rear Hornellsville. I had just reached a straight, level place 'tween two curves an' cuts when I looked up an' saw the headlight of a train comin' toward me. That was all right, 'cause the train was expected. It was the pay-car, runnin back to New York, an' I could Eee she was a-comiu' liko lightenin'. Just then I turned an' looked in t'other direction, an' by the great horn spoon therewas another head-light, ju3t comin' round onto tbe .straight a wild inline runnin' back to Hornellsville, an' makin' sixty mile an hour, if she wss movin' at all. "What did I do? I'm a-comin'to that. My first idea was to run, so's to git as far away's possible when they struck each other. Cut I hain't no coward. I've alius been noted for my bravery and my veracity, and it's the truth I'm tellin' ye when 1 say that I made up my mind to prevent that wreck if I could do it by rUkin' my own life. Well, sir, I bad no sooner thought of it than I began to act. I seized a sleeper that was lyin' 'long side the track there an' placed it right across the rails. While I was doin' ih:8 an' I did it quicker'n I kin tell you about it it seemed that both ingines was on to me, an' them a-screamin' like mad. I httd just barely got the sleeper laid when the wild engine rushed up an' almost hit me as I drew back. Then I shut my eyes an' dropped into the ditch. "Guess I must o' lain there ten minutes or such a matter when one of the railroad men came and tugged at me an' told me to git up everything was all right an' nobody hnrt. 'You saved ns from an awful wreck,' he said. 'Git up, old fellow; you're a hero.' "S-sayedyou from a wreck! I gasped; 'h-how did it happen?' " 'Why, that tie you put on the track was jnst the stuff, ole feller, just the stuff. Our wild ingine got to it just before the pay-car did, and when we struck it we went flying into the air clem over the top o' the pay-car and ber iDgine. Every wheel took the rails on t'other side, an' we" run half & mile 'fore we could stop her.' "I rubbed my eyes and stared at him. " 'Ob, you don't believe me,' he says; 'but look there stands the ingine3and you kin peo for yourself. The wild ingine is between Hornellsville an' tbepay-car.r "I looked an' saw that it was true, in placin' that tie on the track I had done better than l bad any idea on. My intention was to throw one o tne ingines irom tne track so that only one of 'era would be wrecked, but I hope never to see a railroad again in my life if that wild ingine didn t jump over t'other one an' light on her feet lire a cat. 1 nad solved tne problem oi now to make two trains pass each other on the same track."

VALUABLE- MINERAL;
Aluminum Said to Exist h Largo Quantities in an Indiana Clay. Interesting Interview With Dr. J. W. Smitti, President of the Aluminum Company of Detroit, Sllchigan. Dr. J. W. Smith, president of the American Aluminum Company at Detroit, Mich., is in the city to arrange for supplying the company's works at Findlay, Ohio, with that fine quality of Indiana clay or kaolin recently discovered in Lawrence County. The question was asked him by a Sentinel representative why he wanted the day for an aluminum company's use. He said that there was more or less aluminum in all clays, but that he had examined the Lawrence County clay, and after thoreushly U sling it by all the modes known to modern science he was prepared to say that the Indiana clay was the most valuable that be bad ever seen that it contained at least 50 per cent of aluminum. "Why should aluminum raake it so precious?" "Ycu may think it strange for me to say it, but I am satisfied that aluminum is the most useful metal that we ha7e any knowledge of." ' Is it more precious than iron?" "Yea; and 1 believe that the day is not far dii-tsnt when it will supplant iron." "Why?" "Well, it resists oxidation or rust, which fits it for all household or cooking utensils, and its white color will make it more agreeable to the eye when used for such articles. Its tensile strength is something wonderful, when it is understood that wire drawn reaches a3 high as 123,000 pounds, and under other conditions reaches nearly, if not quite, 100,000 pounds to the square inch. The best wronght-steel guns reach only a standard of 70,000 pounds to the square inch." "How else can it be used?" "Well, it can be made into knives, axes, swords, and all cutting Implements. An edge can be put upon it not surpassed by the b33t tempered steel. Ilulot, Director of the postage stamp department in Paris, asserts that 120,000 blows will exhaust the usefulness of the cushion of the stamp machine, and this number of blows is given in a day; and that when a cushion of aluminum bronze waj substituted It was unaTected after months of use." Can it be obtained readily?" . "Yes. From recent process that have teen discovered, and now in i-se in our works, we will be enabled to obtain it from clay comparatively cheap. Heretofore it has been too expensive." "What is the process?" "It is called the Seymour process. It is difficult to explain, somewhat, but it vws discovered or invented by Mr. F. G. Seymour, ot Findlay, Ohio, and he is now the secretary ot our company." "You think then, that the Indiana clay of Lawrence County will meet all demands in this direction?" "Yes, I think so. It contains more than half aluminum. You can not see it even with a microscope, but after subjecting it to certain chemical processes it will yield at least. I think, the amount of aluminum named." He Should Ilave Known Itetter. IWashington Critic "Your money is what we're after, pard," said one of the two highwaymen who stoppe 1 a stranger in a dark place. "I haven't got a cent," was the reply. "Oh, that's too thin, now; no use trying to fool us that way. We want all your valuables, you know, and we want 'em quick." "It's a fact, gentlemen." replied the beIesgured one, "that I haven't a valuable thing in my porsession, and I'm just wondering who'd trust me for my breakfast. Siarcli me and you'll find it's true." "All right, pardner. Bill, you see that the gentleman keeps his hands up an' I'll go through him." A protracted but fruitless search ensues. "Nothing, Jim?" "Not a cussed thing. Stranger, you seem as though ycu was in need of assistance yourself. Bill, have you got anything about your clothes you could help the gentleman with?" "Thank you for1 your kindness," replied the latter. "The fact is, I'm not usually" dead broke, but to-night I attended a church fair, and " "Oh, that's it," exclaimed one of the men in a disgusted tone. "Come along, Bill. We might help a gentleman in distress, but I'll be hanged if we'll do anything for a cussed fool who's old enough to know better." rhjBlqne of American Women. Boston rJerald.l Americans used to be thin and scrawny, and were well laughed at by less nervous nationalities because they were eo; now all this is changed, and the typical American is getting to be actually corpulent. What do33 it mean that our women should suddenly take on fat to this degree? Where are the delicate, fragile types, that looked as though the wind would blow them away? If you will observe the average woman, whether in the street or at some place of amusement, the increase of her weight, the size of her generally, will be a surprise if you haven't given the subject previously any thought. Or.ce on a time it was believed the climate acted as a kind of bant to tbe system, but eitherthi3 climate is losing its asperity or the art of living bas become less wearing, for fat women abound, and what is more, the ilesh looks as though it had come to stay. The question also arises: Does this increase denote less mental fret and worry? Are ppople happier for being stout? It looks jolly and good-natnred, but which is cause and which is effect?

CATARRH IN
Catarrh ia inflammation of the mucous membrane, attended with increased secretioa. Thus, catarrh may affect the head, throat, stomach, bowels or any part ol the body where the mucous membrane is found. But catarrh of the head is by far the most common, coming on bo gradually that often its presence is not suspected till It has obtained a firm hold on its victim. It is caased by a cold or a succession of colds, combined with Impure Itlood. When firmly established the disease isexceediDglv disagreeable, causing flow from the nose, dryness of the throat, headache, loss of appetite, roaring and buzzing noises in the car, etc. Ia Hood's Sarsaparllla may be found a prompt and permanent cure for catarrh. It purifies and enriches the blood, soothes and rebuilds the diseased membrane, and thus soon cures the disease. At the same time it refreshes and tones tbe whole Erstem. The remarkable success of this peculiar medicine entitles It to your confidence. Give Hood's Earcaparilla a trial
