posed that she should pay him $500
per annum, which would be s per
cent. on the investment, until the
time of her death, which took
place five years later. But then
the heirs of the lady set up claim
for 1t, on the ground that the doc.
tor had unduly influenced the mind
of his patient: and, though they
have been beaten in the lower
courts. they have carried the case
up to this final tribunal. The
ground for action is that 1t is not
consistent with the wsll.being Of
society that gifts of this kind
should be made by sick people to
their doctors, who are In q posi-

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN has al
ways been remarkable for novel
Intellectual outgiviDgs, and since
he has become az abstemious as q
hermit Of the Thebaid, of the old
days, he has not lost whit of his
originality. Eating once In
twenty.four hours" says Mr..
Train, ~ do not feel 100 degrees of
heat. This is certainly a note
worthy advantage In that state of
the atmosphere to which we have
recently been subjected, and it
will be q curious question whether
by eating only once in forty-eight
or ninety.six hours the triumphant
psychologist would be able to en-
dure 200 or 800 degrees of heat with
the same calm superiority. We
dare say that Mr.. Train may try
this experiment with success; bu
We do not advise every man tt
initiate his example. Special nat
ural gifts and special preparation
must be necessary In order to con
front without suffering such i'm
mense elevations of the thermom

MRS. Tom THUMB is described

MRS. Tom THUMB is described
by a correspo ndent as she appeared
recently In the surf. She lie now q
perfect matron In miniature. Her
face, though still pretty, shows her
age, and has quaint, motherly
expression. She is a realization,
Ia small way, of fair, fat and
forty. She wore suit of blue.gray
flannel, which was jaunty and co.
quettish before it got wet. Her
arms we're bare to the tops Of her
shoulders, In each of which was a
pretty little dimple, and there was
q shapeIy taper down to her wrists.
Her small feet were uncovered.
She had q comically dignifled air,
and stepped into the surf with the
air of a knee-high queen. She
waded boldly until she met the
first wave, which soused her,
Topped her down, rolled her over
and over, and finally threw her up
on the Sand. All the style had
been instsntaneously drenohed out
Of her clothes, but stake her alto
gether, she looked better after the
ordeal than did most of the bigger
women" Her husband is enor.
mously fat, wears whiskers, and
shows all of his fifty years. His
brother.in-law, Major Newell, who
was q dwarf of very small 'prepor.
lions when he married Minnie
Warren, has since grown to q sta.
ture of five feet.

TUCSON, Sept. 30.-A special to
the Citizen from San Carlos says:
General CARTS command arrived
here this morning and are now
camped on the San Carlos river.
When the paroled hostiles saw
them coming they stood not on
the order of their going but went
at once to Col. Stacey's headquar-
ters and entered the school house,
supposing the cavalry had sinister
designs on them. The Provost
Marshal counted them, but found
only forty-five, instead of the sixty
that were in camp yesterday. Nam
tsyatish, his two brothers and
twelve bucks we're missing. SAM

Bernard recommends that they be

that lest night at the sub-sgency,

They were brought here this morn

The count OF the Indians yester-
day was: AT this agency, 1895; at

The United States by no means
engrosses all the curious pleas in
criminal matters. A remarkable
murder case recently came before
the Criminal Court at Beauvais, in
France. The manager of private
lunatic asylum at Villers was ac-
cused Of the murder of an inmate,
Appert. The asylum contains
lunatics of quiet disposition, who
are employed In agriculture, and
Appert, who was of sullen tenn.
permanent, but manageable if treat
ed mildly, refused to obey an over
seer's order to proceed to work.
Estoret, the manager, coming up.
began to abuse him, and Appert
was about to rush on Estoret, when
the latter snatched cane from q
cupboard. The cane, however,
broke. and Appert struck Esto-
ret twice with q shovel, but
was overpowered by the attend.
ants. He was then struck by
Estoret, and on his resisting an or.
der to undress to undergo a cold
bath, Estoret administered q blow
on his arm which fractured 1t.
After the bath, Appert's arm was
dressed, and he was kept out of the
DOCTORS sight for five days. One
of the keepers urged that he should
be sent to the infirmary. Estoret
feigning consent, placed him in 6
covered cart, and apparently start
ed for Clermont, but, diverging In
by.road, strangled his victim anG
buried him In the ditch of a potato
field. Returning to the asylum
he stated that Appert had escaped
But he had been seen to divergs
from the road; the marks of the
cart were traced, and the body was
ultimately discovered with a cord
still round the neck. On his arrest
Estoret alleged that he killed the
man in self-defense.

Still Alarms.

Yesterday morning about o'clock, the house
of Robert Davidson, on Vaughan street, took
fire in the ell, in summer kitchen, and burned
up through the building to the roof The family
and neighbors succeeded in extinguishing the
flames without general alarm. The loss was
small. The insurance on the building covered
the loss on the house, but the furniture was
uninsured, and slight loss was suffered from
the damage it sustained.
What came near proving first class fire
yesterday afternoon luckily turned out a small
affair. The workmen engaged in shingling
the house on the western corner of Oak and
Congress streets saw puff of smoke issuing
from the roof of the large three story carriage
factory of Joseph Russell on the opposite cor
ner. Chief Engineer Cloyes was notified,
and he had line of hose carried up to the up
per part of the burning building. The water
having been shut off from the lake yesterday,
the pressure was too light, and steamer No.
was telephoned for. She arrived and stream
was got on. The flames were extinguished after
the roof was half burned off in the rear, and
the building somewhat injured by water.
There are two policies held by Prentiss Lor-
ing, one OF $l500 on the building in the Spring
field, and $500 on stock in the Phenix Of
Brooklyn.
Two children, about five years old, living in
house on Congress street, near the City
Building, came near making serious blaze
Monday afternoon. They obtained quantity
of matches and going into the garrett, where
was a lot of old Chinese lanterns, proceeded to
have small illuminat on all to themselves
Pretty soon one of them sauntered down and
remarked to her mother that the garrett was or
fire but that she didn't do it, The other child
at the time was filling mug with water from
faucet, intending to put out the fire without
letting anybody know of it. When the parents
| reached the attic it was full of smoke, one o
the lanterns was reduced to cinders and tn,
woodwork of the house was blazing away at
| lively rate. 1t was narrow escape;
