Sickness of Imagination.

Philadelphia Item.
Among the papers left behind him b.
a German physician who died a few
weeks ago is one containing notes of
certain conclusions he had arrived at
during a professional experience of more
than forty years. In one of these notes
he expresses an opinion that at least a
third of the illnesses of the patients who
sought his advice were purely imaginary.
He found it not only against his own in
tercst; but also against that of the self
alleged sufferers, to destroy the illusion
by informing them that there was really
no cause for anxiety. III health was to
them a matter of almost vital import
ance To destroy the pleasing belief
that they possessed this blessing was an
absolute cruelty. In the few instances
in which he broke 10 them the terrible
truth that they were quite well he found
that the result was genuine illness. For
the patients. all interest in life departed
with their favorite occupation of nursing
themselves. and their health became
seriously affected by nervous depression
He also found that, as a rule, weakly
persons live longer than strong ones
Without going so far as to say that the
best lives are those rejected by the in
surance offices, he thought, nevertheless,
that persons "with screw loose" more
often attain longevity than those in
whom no trace of disease can be detect

The Oldest OF American Cities.

Denver Times.
1t was during the summer of 1888. or
ut least is claimed to have been then,
that the first of the Spaniards, a troupe
of Franciscan missionaries, set foot
upon the ground now covered by the
city Of Santa Fe, the thriving capital of
New Mexico. They then founded the
City of the Holy Faith and laid the
foundation of what was afterwards to
be known as the oldest of American
towns. The people of Santa Fe take
great pride in asserting this claim. and
are even aggressive in maintaining it.
1t must be admitted, too, that they
bring proof to bear upon the subject,
and make a very plausible argument.
They are now taking steps which are
intended To produce results which shall
give them an opportunity to further
advertise their pretensions and to trans
fix the attention of the entire world.
They propose to hold next summer
sort of tri-centennial exposition and are
beginning now to make their prepare
tions so as to be well ready in time to
gather in the summer tourists. The
project is one which deserves common
dation, and which Denver as a neigh
Dor and friend-we can hardly say as a
sister city, considering the great differ
ence in the ages of the two places.
would like to see carried to a happy
and prosperous contamination. There
is, to be sure, u wide difference between
that civilization which in the sixteenth
century penetrated the wilds of the
Rocky mountains and that which has
done the same thing three hundred
years afterwards; but this is no reason
why the triumphs of that earlier en-
lightenment and missionary spirit
should not be celebrated. Great indeed
as is the difference between the Ameri-
can civilization of to-day and the Span
ish civilization of the days of Coronado
and Cortez it Is hardly more marked
than the difference between our present
civilization and that of the Cabots, or
even that of the Raleighs and the
Penns and the passengers of the May
flower. 1t is enough to know that
three hundred years ago people of Eu-
ropean nationality penetrated the CONT
nent and established city. The feat
was indeed marvellous one, consider
ing the location. the difficulties to be
overcome in reaching the spot, and the
fact that many more tempting places of
habitation must have presented
themselves nearer home. Yet
these facts should be consid-
cred as items which would render
the prepared celebration noteworthy.
1t is in some sense sectional affair,
and the entire Rocky mountain west
should feel deep interest in Santa
Fe's scheme. II is something, after all
to live within three hundred miles of
city older than Dutch New York,
Puritan Boston, Quaker Pennsylvania
or ancient st. Augustine.

and ravished, and then carried some distance
and thrown upon the street apparently dead.
Smith was arrested and taken to jail. The
childs father procuring a shotgun followed
and attempted TO shoot the fend, but was pre-
vented by the bystanders. An excited crowd
of men, both colored and white, gathered at the
jail and demanded the prisoner. The sheriff
had prepared for the emergency and warned
them away, but the clamorous throng pushed
forward and forced open the door of the build
ing. The sheriff struck the foremost man over
the head, then the mob opened fire, TO which
the sheriff and deputies replied, and general
fusilade ensued. The front doors and windows
OF the building were perforated with shots and
several were seriously injured The excitement
In Paola over the attempt to lynch the fend
was very Intense. The next day, when II was
expected that he would he taken before JUS
tice for examination, an immense crowd col
lected In front Of the jail. At the last moment
the deputy sheriff declined TO move the pris-
oner, owing TO the threats of the mob. The
crowd, led by number Of the best business
men OF the city, then made All assault on the
jail and drove Sheriff Long back into the inte-
rior OF the building, but could not get his keys.
They then applied sledge-hammcrs, crowbars
and other tools, and after more than an hours
hard work battered their way to Smiths cell,
only, however, TO find him stretched dead on
the foor, he having committed suicide by cut
ting his throat with pocketknife. This was
great disappointment to the mob but IL did
not stop their work, for they.immedately put
rope around the neck of the corpse and drag
ged 1t like log to tree In the park and strung
IL up 10 the gaze OF the multitude. After the
body had hung an hour Coroner Potter held an
inquest, the jury finding that Smith committed
suicide. The outraged child is still alive, but
is expected to die. Sheriff Long acted very
courageously, but could not resist the mob,
who were determined to wreak their vengeance
on Smith. The result of Smiths act is one lit
tie girl terribly outraged and likely to die, two
negroes dead, che white man and one negro
seriously wounded.
An unaccountable murder was COM
mitted at st. Joseph, Mo-, on Saturday, the 10th

coming home drunk and finding no supper and
no preparation for any he became enraged and
murdered his wife. He acknowledges the
crime and is under arrest.

GENEkAL ITEMS.

the stills In the oil refinery OF Thurmer g. Teagle
ran into the run, which was unusually high.
The oil came into the boiler house and a fear
full explosion occurred. The still soon after
caught fire and In few minutes the entire sur
face OF the water was covered with flames. The
flames soon reached the Standard oil works,
and made such Roadway that the efforts of the
firemen to subdue the flames were of no avail.
The loss of the Standard company is fully $3.50
600, while at the works OF Thurmer Il Teagle
over 90, 900 worth of oil burned II is thought
that 1t will take over two years TO restore these
