made square issue with the association
owning the grounds on the Sunday ques-

been advertised without the consent of the
committee, Sunday excursion trains ar

that day. In turn, the committee retire and
their connection with the present series of

will be watched with interest owing to the

THE MAD STONE.
Effect of It's Application to the Wounds Of

Delaware (o.) Special.
William Pyle, the student stricken on Sat.
urday with hydrophobia is lying at his resi-
dence in a semi-conscious condition. He
grew rapidly worse on Saturday afternoon
and was kept under control only by the adj
mlnistration of strong opiates. As a dernier
resort it was determined on Sunday to apply
what is denominated mad stone There Is
stone of this kind in the county, in the
possession of family by the name of Depp
who brought it with them from Virginia sew

ylved upon application of the stone, and h.
been very much better since, it may be

ing its efficacy. The stone is of a leadeu
color, about one inch thick, with a surface
of about four inches. 1t has the appear
ance of petrifed piece of honeycomb In
applying it the stone was first boiled in milk
until it became very hot and all impurities
dissipated. The ugly wound made by the
dog was then washed until the surface be-
gan to bleed. The stone was then placed
upon the wound. 1t gathered the surface
up as in the operation known as ''cupping,n
The patient began to trembIe violently, and
1t was thought that another paroxysm was
coming on. Blood and other impurities be-
gan to ooze out of the top of the stone The
trembling and nervous twitching ceased, and
the patient became calm.
The stone remained on the wound for about
three-quarters of an hour, and extracted
about three ounces of blood 1t then dropped
off suddenly, like leech. The patient was
very much easier last night, and there has
been no return OF those violent commissions
that characterized the earlier stages of the
disease. The attending physicians, while
placing very little faith in the efficacy of the
maidstone, now declare that there is strong
hope of the mans recovery.
The merits of the maidstone excite as
much discussion among the intelligent por-
ton OF the community to-day as the condi-
ton of the unfortunate man. Its merits are
mildly extolled. The owner of the stone
stated that it had been in possession of the
family for almost century. 1t had been APP

THE temper OF the country is decidedly
and determinedly against strikes. Strikes can
not be permitted to interfere with the bust
ness interests OF the whole people, or of any
considerable number of people, and hence
in the case of the telegraphers' strike, with
business widely affected and injured. there
is an imperative cry that the strike shall
cease. All blind pride and madness on
both sides must be subordinated and an ad-
Iustment reached by arbitration, if the par
ties to the trouble themselves have not the
sense and ability to come to a mutual I'M

IT is no less than amusing to witness the
importance sought to be made over the land
ing of solitary Chinaman at Boston. All
Chung is the mans name, and by trade he is
"a carpenter, so that he comes under the title
of laborer. He was brought to the port in
the British bark Eme, and by permission of
the captain was allowed to land For this
the officer was arrested and his trial is now
pending. 1t is claimed in behalf of All
Chung that he is a British subject, and
as such he is not subject to the
provisions of the anti-Chinese act He was
born in Hong Kong, British dependency
The captain declares that he did not bring
All Chung to this country in defiance Of
American law, but as one of his crew; that
he landed as any others of the crew might,
but that he was deserter, and as such
should be returned to him. The fact that a
nation of 100000 people is making such a
fight over one lone almond-eyed Chinaman is
a ludicrous sight in the eyes of the world.

Mrs. SADIE HALL, the notorious prostitute,
who killed her thieving husband at Terre
Haute, and was released by justice of the
peace who imagined himself to be Chief-jus-
tice of the Supreme Court, went immedi.
ately to Cincinnati to attend her dead hus-
bands funeral. Of course she was "inter-
viewed" and said "the treatment she re-
ceived at the hands of everybody in Terre
Haute was the best. They sent carpet for
her room and also flowers and delicacies in
profusion." The Terre Haute papers would
do society service by publishing the names
of the creatures who sent this murderess the
flowers and delicacies. Just so long as there
continues a fetid and pestlental sentiment
that will express itself in such attent ons to
criminals of the Sadie Hall type, just so long
will it be useless to expect anything like
sturdy virtue among the people. The mother
of the woman says it cost her one thousand
dollars "for lawyers fees and other expenses
incurred in obtaining Sadies acquittai." 1t
would be a matter of interest to have an
temized BILL especially of "other expe nses."
The public has long since settled down to the
knowledge that for money lawyer of some
kind can be secured to commit any kind of
an outrage against society under the cloak of
law
