A Misleading symptom.

A notorious quack found his business
increasing 10 such an extent that he
was Obliged to take an assistant. He
did not, however, attempt to impose
upon his junior as he did upon the pub
lie, very candidly admitting that his
reputation rested on series Of fortu-
nate guesses and lucky accidents.
You come with me and pay me few
visits. You viii very soon get the
hang of the thing
The first house they called at they
found the master IN bed. Quack Sem
ior, the moment he set eyes on the
plaintiff. said: There, now; how men
of your time of life can be imprudent
enough to indulge in serfeit of water
melon, can't see. How many melons
did you eat this morning? The best
part of three, I'll be bound The
old man, wondering at the acuteness of
his medical adviser, admitted that he
was right in every particular. The
doctor prescribed some simple remedy,
and took his fee and his leave.
No sooner were they outside than the
embryo quack, burning to acquire such
an important professional secret, COM
menced; ''How did you know that the
man had been eating watermelon? You
never looked at his tongue, or
Tongue be hanged" said the elder;
81 looked in the woodshed as / came
in and saw the rinds of three water
melons. You must use your eyes, my
boy?n
The lesson sank deep into the young
mans mind, and he endeavored to pro-
fit by it on the very first occasion that
he made an Independent visit.
mo wonder you are feeling badly
said he to his patient; ''when you have
been eating horse that's enough TO

"Horse!n said the sufferer family, yet
wonderingly.
''Ycs, horse said Esculapius Jun
ior. ''Now tell me how much you have
eaten.
Horse repeated the patient, indig-
nantly, II never did such thing.
wouldn't Here he got madden as
the idea was more fully borne in upon
him. Get out of here, you internal
quack,n and with the assistance of
couple of the patients stalwart sons
the pretender 10 medical science was
bounced.
''And yet" he said, when he ex-
planned his adventure to his mentor,
who had lost patient by his assistants
injudicious diagnosis; land yet saw q
saddle in the woodshed as plainly as
you saw the watermelon rinds."
Quack Senior is now advertising for
another assistant, and Quack Junior is
driving an ice wagon.-1he Judge.

Newspaper Reporters.

There are many hards things said of
newspaper reporters, but Col. G. A.
Pierce got In good word for them,
in his editorial address at Fort Wayne,
Ind. week before last. He said:
II have often marveled at the almost
universal reliability of reporters on
great newspapers. Working hard at
moderate salaries, and with every fac:
ility for making twice their regular
wages by selling the columns of their
respective newspapers, the bribery of
reporters is almost unheard of. The
reporter may be drunkard, or have
vices of almost every other descrip.
ton, but there is an unwritten code of
honor which prevent his becoming
bribe.taker. He will endure hard
ships, will even peril his life to ac-
complish mission, but in all my ex-
perience l have heard of but one man
an whom the brand Of bribery has
been fixed. On the contrary, l have
known humble and needy men to re-
ceive money through the mails, sent to
influence their actions who have
brought that money to the editorial
rooms, and, as if feeling that the very
attempt was q shame and reproach to
them, have explained, their humilia-
ton and awaited judgment. #
A true reporter enjoys scoop more
than money, more than an opera, a,
minstrel show, or banquet. The
passion for getting ahead of his rivals
is as absorbing as that of the most in
veterate gamester. Some time ago it
is said Chicago reporter who had an
estimable wifes very popular in society
and widely known, was heart broken
at her prostration with a fatal disease.
Thele was only ray Of hope for her
recovery, and all the papers contained
daily accounts of her condition. 1t
was nearly the hour Of gong to press,
but the faithful man sent note to his
city editor announcing the fact, and
Ssdded: Don't let the other boys have
IT. Its a terrible blow to me, but a.
scoop is a SCOOP

The scott law pecision.

The Supreme Court has declared
the Scott law constitutional. We con-
fess we hardly expected such decis-
ion, because it seemed that correct
reasoning must lead in the opposite d.
retion. 1t would be impossible to i'm.
agine a contriyance more undemocrat-
ic. 1t is aimed at particular class Of
trafickers-though with no moro equi'
ty or decency than at any other class.
If it be constitutional to single out one
class for special and onerous burdens,
another class may be SO treated. A
Republican Legislature and Republi'
can Supreme Court have this time Sc
lected the saloonkeepers; the shoema-
kers, or the stone masons, or the edf-
tors, or the tanners, or the lawers,
may come next. And this tax is lev
led upon the individuals of a class
without reference to the amount of
business done. The small dealer is
taxed the same amount as the large.
Is this fair? Can the party guilty of
such legislation have the cheek to ex.
pect continuance of popular favor at
the polls? We admit that the traffic
in intoxicants needs regulation. v Ev-
cry intelligent llquor dealer admits it
But in the obtainment of that regala-
tion it is unnecessary to trample on
equity and right, A license system,
graded to the actual business done,
and designed simply for regulation,
seems, in general way, what is want
ed. In enactlng the Scott law and
stamping it as constitutional, through
the agency of a packed Supreme Court,
the Republicans have placed the last
feather upon the camels back. For
this is not question Of abstract tenn
perance, but a question Of. popular
rights, pure and simple. 1t is impos-
sible to make matter of abstract NOR
ais party question. When these
seemingly figure in that connection it
is because the element is complicated
with some vita! popular question; a man
may be an ardent temperance man and
still oppose the Scott law, for the lat
ter trenches upon ground fatal to
seminal principle of our government.
There are men in all parties and all
creeds who recognize the evils flowing
from the abuses of drink. We have
no doubt there are plenty of men in
the Liquor Dealers Protective Asso-
citation, itself, who recognize such
evils and the necessity of regulating
them. 1t is past comprehension, then,
how any party could go so blindly at
"reform" as the Republican has gone
at this. The rational way would have
been the better way for it in politi-
cal sense, for 1t would have invited
the cooperation of reasonable men
without regard to previous affiliations.
AS it is the party has made political
blunder at the same time, it has writ.
ten itself down a reformatory fraud,
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. PLAN Dealer.

acquit thief; Rmurderers never walked out OF
the court room amid the triumphant applause Of
their friends, Judge Lynch would adjourn his
court forever. James Mutt, the ayenger, was
not possible until the Dukes jury called him In
to being. Had the creatures which composed
that body hanged, imprisoned or even banisheo
his fathers murderer, the quiet, inonensive boy
would perhaps have never been known outside
his own county. But the law would not aYena.e
him. and this boy had to teach the law its duty
and perform that duty for It, Lynch law is a
bad thing, but it is better than no law; it Is bet
ter than corrupted law; it is supremacy better
than the law that stands by the open grave of
the victim and holds the broad shield of its pro-
lection over the murderer. Herr Most never
made communist In his life; it isn't the Rus
sian students who make nihilists of men. James
Mutt never suggested to himself that he go out
and shoot somebody. It's the president and di-
rectors Of the solid Insurance company or bank
who divide up the money among themselves
and hie away to Canada, or give the
depositors and patrons ten cents on the
dollar, that make communists; tie the

STRANGE DIsAPPEARANCE OF HIS LARGE FORTUNE
HIS WIFE THINKS HE Is NUMBER oNK
The New York FOrld gives detailed account of
an interview with lady who is said to be an init
mate friend Of Mrs. Dion Boucicault, better known
as Agnes Robertson, regarding the domestic trou-
bles In the Boucicault family. The first difference
between the play-writer and his wife, according to
the lady's account, resulted from Bouci-
cault's fnfatuation for a well-known
tactly separated from him in the sense that she
declined all conjugal relations, and treated him as
a mere visitor. His brutality to her when poor
Willie BOucicault, her second son, was killed In a

her her allowance OF 81. 0O0 year. When that came
1tfully she had to remind him of her existence.
Then came the suitS-then his arrest-then the
compromise. Since then there has been In no sense

The Art OF Singing.

the NlQot6e0t0 century
1t must have struck every Intelligent fire.
quenter Of the concert rooms to what hopeless
straits an enthusiastic admirer Of any particular
singer Ia put when asked to give his reasons for
approaching the merits Of his favorte. The an
swer, II one Is given Is often couched in vague
generalities, and in some cases may be said to
amount to literally nothing at all. The artist
has good voice, one Is told a clear enuncia-
tion, has performed certain tours de force with
success, and even Qor such reasons have ere this
been given) his general appearance and deport-
ment are pleasing. Why should this incapacity
to give Q reason for liking thing EXIST The
explanation is clear enough to those who have
and lies IN the fact that an audience taken
the art OF singing, ana even were
the very executant who is the object of applause
Intercepted as to the cause Of his or her sue
cess, in but few cases probably would satisfac-
tory explanation be forthcoming, for although
he or she may have received such education In
the art as Is usually afforded, that education
does not take into account the fact that expla-
nation may sometimes be required There
exists indeed no complete and intelligent sys-
tenn OF vocal training. Pupils are not required
to reason; suffice 1t II, after years of toll, by
hook or by crook, rightly or wrongly, they &C.
may be pointed ont as an extraordinary fact that
while singing il the most widely diffused Of all
arts, no art is more In its infancy with
regard to the principles on which it Is taught.
will not stop to offer an explanation of tho
anomaly: A fine voice win go long way with
an uncritical audience, and there are many sing
ers. fear, who set higher value on the APP
parent satisfaction of Others than on the abso-

Fast Driving in the Streets.
WHAT CONSTITUTES NEGLIGENCE.

The first case called for trial in the Criminal
Court this afternoon was that OF Patrick Sulli-
van, of South Washington, charged with ASSAULT
Ing colored woman named Julia AtweI, by drfv-
ing his horse and buggy against her on the 9th OF
last March. The case was taken upon an appeal
from the Police Court, where f1ne of $40 was i'm
posed. The testimony for the prosecution was to
the effect that the defendant was Intoxicated at
the time. and was driving fractions horse at q
rapid rate OF speed. Counsel for the defense
asked the court to instruct the jury that the de-
PENDANT could not be guilty unless 1t was shown
that he was wtllfully negligent
Judge Wylie. In charging the Jury, said:-"A
man may be negligent by drinking too much and
he may also be negligent by taking wild horse
In the street. Horses should be broken some.
where except on the street The streets are made
for pedestrians. He may not be negligent as far
as his intentions are concerned, but q man guard
Ing his horse Is like man guarding his dog. II
he drinks too much he is negligent, and II he has
Wild horse there Is double degree Of negli-
gence."
The jury returned a verdict OF guilty, and the
court imposed fine OF $50, an increase OF SO
