-THE terrible details of the
death of Commissioner Torp of Sto.
rey county, by runaway team, have
already appeared in the Geographic
columns Of the Sentinel. The &C.
cident occurred at the corner Of c
street and Sutton avenue. 1t used to
be charged that Torp was the leading
spirit of the Committee Of col. The
Committee summarily executed Per-
kins, Kirk and other roughs. Per-
kins had murdered man. and got
no more than he deserved. Kirk
was a bad man, but had committed
no crime which called for the for
fixture of his life. He was taken
from a house on the corner of c
street and Sutton avenue. Several
members of The Committee who took
part in the lawless work committed
suicide in less than year thereafter,
and now Torp meets violent death
within fifty feet Of the spot whence
Kirk, seven years before, was
marched to his doom. Is there any.
thing suggestive in thisl-Eurska
Sentinel.

How Diphtheria Was Spread.

A few weeks ago little girl in
st. Adams, who had just recovered
from diphtheria, was taken by her
parents to visit family in a neigh
boring town. She slept with the
children in that family, and shortly
afterward three or four of them were
taken with the malady, and some
have since died. The family per
mitted relatives and neighbors to
visit them, and the result is several
cases in the neighborhood. They
had public funerals, even keeping the
remains of one child an unusual
time, waiting for another to die, SO
as to bury them together; and this
also spread the contagion. The ply
stefan was not powerfully impressed
AS some physicians are not-with
the contagious character of the dis
ease, therefore he did not take the
necessary precautions for the pro-
lection of the neighborbood or of his
own family, and the result is that one
of his own children has died and an.
other is dangerously i'll. A lady who
went to one of these houses to robe
tho victims for the grave has called
at houses in the vicinity where ther,
are children, without any change o.
her garments or any attempt at dis
infection, aud has fondled the chill
dren in those families, apparently IL
utter ignorance of the danger t.
which she was exposing them.-St
! Albans (vt.) Messenger.

Happy Max.

The brighter lights of the Stra-
kosch Opera Troupe gathered round
them a few friends on Saturday
evening for quiet little supper.
The talk turned OH Max Strakosch's
new baby.
"He's got TOOTH" said gentle
man sitting at one end Of the table.
"Max is very proud Of his baby"
said Miss Kellogg, who was sitting
At the other end.
ayes said the gentleman, still
carrying out his own train of
thought, land he's got two more
coming"
Miss Kellogg shrieked and dropped
her napkin and her knife and fork,
while the gentleman still further en-.
livened matters by insisting that bis
reference was solely to the teeth

LORNE AND LOUISE.
How the New GOyernOr-General
OfCanada and His Wife Look to
an American.


The Princess lunched with her
brother, the Duke of Edinburgh, and
returned to the Sarmatian late in the
afternoon. The dress of the P.in-
cess was OF black silk, trimmed with
fur, and she wore a knowing little
Astrakhan cap with red pompon,
which was the only bit of positive
color in her toilet. The Princess is
certainly more comedy woman, IS
l have said, than any of her royal
sisters. None Of her photographs
do her justice. Her eyes are of a
dreamy blue, her hair of a rich brown
and her figure is as graceful and sym.
metrical as that of princess should
be. She is not very tall woman,
but she looks as if she were by the
side of her husband, who is unques-
tionsbly short and for SO young a
man unques.ionably rather stout.
His face has not only broadened since
he was in America twelve years ago,
but the lines have grown stronger
and manlier. The very light red.
dish hue of his slight side-whiskers
and his hair at the first glance nigh,
lead careless observer to think him
older than he is, as it might be taken
for positive gray. But upon a
closer inspection he appears even
younger than he is by reason Of his
fresh smooth complexion. Though
the day was bright with sunshine
and rather warm the Marquis wore
this morning top-coat richly faced
with fur.-Cor. n. Y. World,

NIGHT.CAPS INJURIOUS TO
HEALTH.

The following communication from
Gold Hill physician explains itself
EDITOR TIMEs:-I find, in your
last issue, the following query. ac-
companied by request that 1t be
answered by physician:
as the practice Of wearing night
caps conducive to health I"
The experience of physicians is
that the constant wearing If night
caps in bed is prejudicial to health.
That is, of course, night-caps made
of heavy material, such as, (for in
stance) those wooden affairs frequent
~ worn by farmers. During sleep
the head should be uncovered, and
the air thus allowed full access
to it. The light muslin caps usually
worn by women are not detrimental
to the health of the persons wearing
them, a. the material Of which they
are made is 90 thin that the air can
circulate in and out and through 1t
just as though the head we're bare.
Physicians sometimes order patient
to wear night-cap, but this only in
certain cases which it Is unneces-
ssry to particularize here, and for
a limited period. The habit of wear
ing these coverings is one of the
ridiculous and entirely useless Gus
toms brought to this country by Eu.
ropeans. The Pilgrim Fathers, and
every member of their households,
wore night-caps; and It is for this
reason that the custom prevails to
larger extent in New England than
in any other portion OF the United
States. NJ. d.
