The Frustrating shocks

of malarial fever are not to be counteracted by
quinine with any degree of certainty, or for any
length Of time. The eradication and prevention
of diseases Of miasmatic type are, however. as
certained possibilities. Long experience ha'
shown that there is infinitely more preventive eff
cacy iii the fine botanic medicine, Hoste:ter'
Stomach Bitters, than in the alkaloids, drugs anc
poisons which were formerly the only recognized
fever and sgue and bilious remittent. When tht
system has been depleted by periodically reeur
ring paroxysms, this agreeable restorative renew'
the fund of energy, and is not only postiv,
specific but repairs the damage to the genera
health inflicted by all febrle complaints partakinc
of the malarial character.

VIEWED THE REMAINS.

Some Jail officers, two OF three rhy-
sicians and DR.. Hicks stood about The
coffin. John w. Guiteau joined the
company and famed his dead brothers
face to keep away the flies. John
w. Guiteau did rot go on the
|scaffold, but stood during the
scene just within the line of officers at
the bottom of the steps. When liberty
was given to the crowd to view the
body, the scaffold was a: once filled
with people who curiously examined it.
PREPARING FOR THE AUTOPSY.
At 1:40 P. NJ, the lid of the coffin
was put IN place and the body borne to
the jail chapel, where the physicians
who were to make the autopy were as
sembled. After the body was taken
to the chapel, arrangements we're made
to let Mrs. Scoville see it.
Guiteau, just before the trap was
sprung, dropped piece of raper from
his hand; this paper was given him by
Warden Crocker, to be dropped rs a
signal when he was ready.
John w. Guiteau said to reporter,
just after the execution, that che was
glad it was over"
"What will be done with the re-
mains" asked the reporter.
"We will
BURY HIM HERE IN THE JAIL
where he will be safe," said Mr.. Gui-
teau. "He will not be taken out of
the jail" The spot indicated by the
warden for Guiteau's burial, is in the
same court as the gallows and four
yards from it.

Maine Democrats.

LEW IsToN, Me-, June 27.-The dem.
ocratic state committee met at noon
with Geo, 7. Emery, temporary chair
man. The temporary organization was
made permanent. Committees were
appointed, and then Harris M. Plaisted
was unanimously nominated for gov.
ernOr.
The committee reported platform
which was adopted. The first plank
denounces political assessments and
bossim in strong terms. Upon the
subject of the tariff the following plank
was inserted and adopted with APP.
plause:
Resolved, That the right of the pro,
Queer and manufacturer to sell the
products of their industries in the
dearest and buy what they cannot
profitabiy produce in the cheapest
market, is right which the govern
ment ought not to interfere with or
restrict, except 30 far as may be
necessary to raise revenue for its own
support; and ali such interference tends
to lessen the profits of trade and the
wages of labor. The present tariff
whereby 81 100000 surplus revenue is
annually exacted from the laborine
and producing classes, should be re-
duced SO as to leave this money in the
pockets of the people where it belongs
and is most safe, and thus curtail reck-
less expenditure Of corrupt and
spendthrift congress, and remove the
oppressive load of unnecessary and ex-
cessive taxation which is crushing out
the life and subsistence of the people.
The 9th resolution states that the
ship building interest of Maine has
sacrificed to the policy that has de-
stroy led commerce by shutting our
markets against the return freights and
made competition with lower taxed ma.
tons impossible. A heavy taxation
more than neutralizes the advantages
of our cheap lands and the intelli-
gence of our artisans.
The 9th resolution says congress has
the power and is bound to establish and
maintain at all times a currency OF
general credit, always convertible into
and equal in value to specie, adapted to
the wants of commerce.
The 9TH resolution says that congress
is bound to protect the community
against the evils of a debas ed coin and
against the greater evil of an exces-
sive issue OF paper money, and having
established United States demand
notes as such protection, &c
| withdraw them now and substitute
bills of banking corporations, is to
change superior for an inferior cur
rency and to surrender the power con
ferred on congress by the constitution
The final resolution expressed con-
| fidence in Gov. Plaisted.
The following nominations for con
gressional candinates are made and &C
cepted: Sam. ]. Anderson, LIST district
Daniel II. Theng, 81 district; Geo. W
Ladd, Sd district; T. II. Murch, 4th dis
trict. The convention then adjourned

EVERY national bank in the Union Is
required to at all times give the regu-

The fact that the shortage OF Cashier
Owen, of the Third Nationa. bank OF

examination, to over 100000, shows
that bis populations extended over a

The situation among the strikers re-
mains essentially unchanged. One
iron foundry at Leechburg, Pa, has
yielded to the demands of the opera

demanded by the labor unioI with
which they were connected The other
iron manufacturers are still obstinate
and seem determined to hold out to the
bitter end. The freight blockade in

Letter From Fort Worth.
FORT WORTH. Texas. April

FORT WORTH, Texas, April %.
To the Editor of the STATESMAN:
The State Medical association has
adjourned, the banquet is over and
most of the physicians have left for
their homes. Aside from the pleas
ant memories engendered by the as
ISOLATION, we have nothing to remind
us of its meeting. Not so however
in regard to the banquet. The sick
stomaches and aching heads which
abound in town to-day are pain
full reminders of the festlvit les
oflast night. These must be attri-
buted to human weakness and not
to the supper or the wine. 1t was
undoubtedly one of the finest ban
quets ever spread in the state. The
tables were filled with such delica-
cies as would please every appetite.
To do full justice to such a supper
would require the capacity of about
forty ordinary stomachs. We felt
that nature had made mistake in
giving us but one. The tables were
artistically and tastefully decorated.
Not the least among its attractions
were the sweet and handsome bou-
quets from the nursery of I'll. E.
Lockett, BrenEam, Texas. To give
an account of all that Happened
around the festive board would be
as easy job as to paint the lilly, but
as L am not needing an easy job of
that character, L will not undertake
it. Suffice it to say that we left the
table at a late hour and made our
way to our rooms as best we could,
being on the best possible terms
with ourselves and the balance of
mankind.
My telegraphic reports of the pro-
ceedings of the State Medical associ-
alton have necessarily been meager,
and L may therefore note a few
points that L have not heretofore no.
tlced. 1t was as fine looking, intel
ligent body of men as have ever
seen assembled in the state. Their
deliberations were characterised by
wisdom and candor, and there can
be no doubt that the doctors have
been benefited individually and COL
leciively by the meeting.
A very important resolution was
introduced by Gen. j. 3. Robertson,
and passed with great unanimity. 1
give it in full:
Resolved, That the practice of
physicians bidding for practice,
public or private, is contrary to the
code of ethics as adopted by the
American Medical association.
The following officers were elected
and installed:
DR.. S. F. Starley, of Corsicana, pres
ident. DR.. Burts, of Fort Worth first
vice president; DR.. Adams, of Bry
an. second vice president; DR.. Joe S.
Willis, OF Waco, third vice president;
DR.. WI. Burt, of Austin. secretary
and j. clarendon, of Houston, treas
urer.
Tyler was selected as the place,
and the fourth Tuesday in April,
1888, as the time for the next meet
ing of the association. l.. X. II.

impressed with the idea that the keynote
of success was sounded In our city of the
hills, when the public free school system
was adopted, and by these exercises the
first years experiment therein is about
to close so happily.
1t will be our pride hereafter to look
back to the Inauguration of this system
In Austin, and hope that the same plan
may become SO universal that this whole
broad state may partake thereof,
and tend to the advancement, progress
and elevation OF Texas, in all that is
grand and glorious.
For the benefits conferred on us, in
this school, feel that we should be
thankful to the trustees and teachers.
To the latter, for their painstaking laboTs
of love, overlooking our foibles. We ask
pardon for whatever we have done amiss,
instigated alone by boyish pranks, Which
the best are addicted to, and with Kind
wishes for teachers and companions,
honor and renown are open TO us all.
Let US strive to obtain them; and now
We part in peace for time, hoping

And feet to the foe.
And leaving behind

The other pupils who took part in these
exercises are Misses Susie Rutherford,
Annie Doom, and Hattie Williams.
Passing thence to primary grades A and
b, taught by
MISS PATTIE TONNES,
in which were assembled several other
grades, the visitors were entertained by
a number of bright-eyed and smiling faces
of happy boys and girls.
The board of trustees found it impossi-
BILE to review the many excellent eXami-
nation papers, ard soon abandoned that
plan and gave themselves up to social en-
tertainment and congratulations OF the
occasion.
President Woodbridge, in every grade
room, in his felicitous and happy man
ner, complimented and encouraged
teachers and pupils, leaving in their
hearts and minds kindly sentiments of
esteem for their most excellent and
gifted president and his worthy coadju-
tors, the members of the board of trus-
tees.
The final exercises of the schools will
take place at the Baptist church Tuesday
night, when the Peabody medals and
other prizes will be awarded. The pub
lie are envited.

KISSING.
A Case where N Cooling Couple
Got too Much Sweetness.

II is not often a girl Is kissed too much
and less frequently does a boy suffer
from too much of that sort of thing. 1t
is so different from washing and ironing
and cooking and sweeping down the
stairs that girls have been known 10 seek
kissing rather than those things and often
much to the neglect of them. II has
never been supposed that any great dan
ger lurked in kissing, even though great
deal Of IL be done, and if il has sometimes
fatigued the very ardent-for sometimes
the very best things will fatigue one-it
has usually been a fatigue which all
were willing 10 accept.
1t appears, however, that there is a
great deal Of danger in kissing which is
not sensibly and decently done. A
story comes through the English papers
of an extraordinary young German cou-
pie who wagered to kiss each other ten
thousand times in the course of ten hours.
That seems easy enough, and probably
there are thousands of young lovers who
presume they have time and again done
some thousands better than that. The
wager was the result of discussion
about how many kisses could be crowded
into a given time. The enterprise WIS
undertaken with great vigOr, the only
drawback being the presence of specta-
tors. Within the first hour two thousand
kisses were exchanged, and the outlook
was propitious. The record, however,
did not keep up, only one thousand being
added in the second hour. From this
time on the business Jagged, and at the
end of the third hour both broke down.
The young woman tainted in the midst
of too much of a good thing, and the
young mans lips were cramped out of
their usefulness and paralyZed.
1t isn't worth while expressing an
opinion about an extraordinary couple
like that. They have their own punish
ment in the fact that the matrimonial en-
gagement between them was broken off
in consequence of the strange perform
ance. Probably there isn't any warning
in this for Austin girls. They don't
make public exhibition of their kissing
and they are never known TO faint at the
end of the third hour. They are the
kind Of girls also who do not paralyze
the young mans lips, and the young
man whose lips don't paralyze must
be pretty poor young man if he
gives girl time to faint between kisses.
But don't do il it public-it isn't worth
much that way.
