Don't Wear TIGHT Shoes.

WARSAW, N. Y. Nov. 14-Probably one of
the greatest of sufferers, and from a peculiar
cause, is Adam Pfaff, a well Known resident of
this town. Three years ago he was drawn as a
iuryman, and wore to court, at Bath, a new pair
of boots for the first time. They were too small
for him. and although they gave him intense
pain, he kept them on all of one day. When he
removed his boots at night he found no relief
from his pain, and was unable to sleep. During
the night his feet, legs, hands, arms, and body
began to swell, and his sufferings became 80
great that he was obliged to summon aid, and
was removed to his home as soon as possible.
From that day to this the pain has never left
him for an instant His joints are enlarged
greatly, while his toes, feet, and hands are
swollen to three times their natural size. The
flesh on some portions of his body is shrunken
and withered. He is entirely helpless, and can
not leave his chair without help, and has to be
fed like a child. Mr.. Pfaff's sufferings are at
times terrible to witness, and he prays for death.
He has spent hundreds of dollars in vain effort
to gain relief, and no physician he has ever called
has been able to understand his case.

A REFORMED GAMBLER.
Che Long Life of Jonathan Il. Greene
Drawing to a Close.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14-The long life of
Jonathan H. Greene, the reformed gambler, is
drawing to a close in the midst of extreme pow
erty and misery. In early life Greene was a rich
and very smart professional gambler, whose
field of operations was the lower Mississippi and
the Republic of Texas, where for a while he
served in Sam Houston's army. He came North,
was converted, and became a preacher. He
wrote some books exposing the tricks of card
sharpers, which had a very large sale. He says
he was defrauded of the copyright of his books
Soy a we'll known publishing house. He married
late AZ Ifs, and lived in this city, where he be
came the father of a large family of children.
A few weeks ago his wife died and was
buried by charity. Soon after his wifes death
he went away, and is said to be somewhere
an the West. This morning the Society to Pro
tect Children from Cruelty placed three of
Greene's sons in the Southern Home for Friend
less Children. The oldest boy is ten years and
the youngest six. They are named respectively
Horace Greeley, George Washington and Chester
A. Arthur Greene. The boys were placed in
the Newsboy's Home recently by their eldest
sister, who is said to be a newspaper writer.
She promised to pay their board, but failed to
do SO, and the matron of the home placed the
case before the Society to Protect Children
from Cruelty. An officer of the society visited
the home yesterday and learned that Horace
and George had escaped. Lieutenant Beach
captured the runaways last evening. Greene
has been very poor for a long time. Two or
three years ago he contributed to the Philadel-
phia Times a series of very interesting sketches
of wild life in Mississippi and Texas in the days
of Bowie, Crockett, Austin, Houston and other
Southwestern frontier heroes"

MIR. Blaine,s Honorable Words.

Indianapolis News.
Mr.. Blaine has announced his position, and it
is one which must challenge the respect of every
honest man in the country. He protests against
any technical triumph. No mere slip he de-
clares should overslaugh the honestly expressed
wish of a voter. He would far rather lose than
gain on any such grounds as that. The presi-
dency, he AYERS, is not desirable if there is the
slightest faint upon its title, and he concludes
that IA promotion of that kind no more leads to
honor than the possession of forged paper leads
to wealth" Such an utterance at such a
time must, it seems to us, extort the admira-
ton of Mr.. Blaine's worst enemies. We
consider that We are a fair judge of this, for as
our readers will witness, we have been no Blaine
partisan. We thought it better for the country
that the Republican party should continue in
power. We think so still. We may be mis-
taken. We trust we are. Above all parties we
place the good of the country. And if, as it APP
pears, the people have called the Democratic
party to administration, we shall in all ways
give it support in everything it does for what we
believe is the country's good. In this very line,
it is well in this time of partisan triumph that
the Democratic party should duly consider Mr..
Blaine's utterance. 1t is the utterance OF a man
who loves his country, and who cleaves to the
right.

The Election Kitten.


%NNW 1pAh
A few days after the Democratic national
headquarters were opened in West Twenty
fourth street John Treanor, one of the clerks,
found a little bedraggled Maltese kitten in the
basement of the building. 1t had evidently seen
hard times. Treanor took care Oft and it made
itself at home. A week before the Ohio election
the kitten disappeared. This was looked upon
as a bad omen. When Ohio went Republican
some of the clerks made up their minds that the
only way to elect Cleveland was to recover the
kitten.
A few days later Mr.. Treanor met the kitten
in the street and carried it into headquarters.
There was much rejoicing. Members of the
committee Clipped in and bought the kitten a
collar, had the name of Grover Cleveland en-
graved on it, and resolved to feed the kitten out
of the campaign funds. The kitten stuck fast
to its friends through the exciting days that fol
lowed the election, and evidently took no stock
in the claims" of the enemy.
To day it was put in a box, around which was
wrapped an American flag, and it was sent by
Adams Express to Mrs. Treanors house in Wash
ington. 1t will be sent to the White House on
March ).

A Modern PortIa.

SEATTLE, W. IT., Nov. 14-Miss Leila j. Rob
anson, of Boston, a lawyer and journalist, has
made a decided hit on the Pacific coast. She
has been consulted by some of tho best known
lawyers of this Territory on intricate law points,
and, according to the present outlook, has an ex-
cellent chance of one day being elected to a
1udgeship, so popular and respected has she be-
come. The trial of a late case, which was de-
cided in her favor, has excited a great deal of in
terest. The case was that of the Territory VS..
All Mon, charged with transporting Chinese la
borers into the United States, and the prisoner
was defended by Miss Robinson. This was the
first case tried by a female lawyer in the Terri
tory. Assistant United States Attorney Han
ford conducted a vigorous prosecution, but he
was unable to break the strong defense made by
Miss Robinson, and the jury, after being out a
short time, returned a verdict of not guilty.
congratulated her on the successful issue of her
FIRST case in the Territory. Miss Robinson passed
the Massachusetts bar last year.

OBSTRUCTING GOVERNMENT LANDS.
Cattle Men Have No Right to Erect Fences
for Herding Purposes.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 14-In the case Of the
United States government VS.. the Brighton
Ranch Company, Judge Brewer, of the United
States District Court. has rendered a decision.
The company has fenced in about 1000 acres
of land belonging to the government. Suit was
brought by the latter to compel the company to
tear down the fences. The decision of Judge
Brewer in effect is that the Brighton Ranch
Company have no right to construct fences
upon government lands, and the government
had the absolute right to have the fences re-
moved if it saw fit to exercise that privilege,
and that the construction of fences upon gov
eminent lands was an obstruction and nuisance,
and that the proper remedy was by a bill in
equity, and that in fact a bill in equity was the
only proper and adequate remedy in such a case.
He granted a temporary injunction e%njoining
the defendants from the construction OF any ad-
ditioual or cross fences on the land so inclosed
by them, but said he would await the final hear
ing before issuing a mandatory injunction re
curing a removal of all the fences. Thereupon
Mr.. Woolworth took leave to file an amended
answer by which the case will not be finally
heard at the present term of court. This de-
cision settles the law in this circuit that cattle
men have no right to inclose government lands.

The Gould Dinner KILLED Blaine.

New YORK, Nov. 4-Washington E. Conner,
partner of Jay Gould, freely discussed the
Blaine dinner at Delmonico's with a reporter.
He said: sit was an iniudicious thing to give
the banquet to Mr.. Blaine in the way it was. 1t
provoked talk, and there was no occasion for
giving it then. 1t would have been better to
have waited until after election. | so thought
then, but it was arranged with the best of in
~tentions. But the story that money was So
ticted was absolutely false. 1t was purely a So
cial gathering. The best evidence that there is
no truth in the report is that no one who was
present has yet stated that he was asked to sub
scribe, and among SO many there would GER
tainly have been one who was leaky.

A MISSING CORPSE.
GwO Citizens of Binghamton, N. Y, Sus-
pected of RObbing a Grave.

B1NGHAMToN, N. Y, Nov. 14-This city was
considerably excited some time ago by what was
Supposed to be an attempt to desecrate the tomb
of the Phelps family, one of the finest in this
part of the State. It now seems that a body
was stolen, and it is believed that the ghouls
have been discovered at last.
For some time past a suit for S., 1000 has been
in progress, this sum being claimed by DR.. II. o.
Ely for embalming the body of Robert by his
wife's orders. After making the contract Mrs.
Phelps too died, and her immense property went
to her father, William E. Taylor, already a very
rich man. Mr.. Taylor set up as a defense that
the e~mbalming was badly done. He retained as
counsel Mr.. Dan Richards and began a fight. If
che body could be got at, all the facts in the case
could be proved or disproved, but the grave kept
the secret, and not until the affair before men
toned did the real facts concerning the state OF
the body become known. Even then no one
dared mention the names of Richards and Tay-
lor, as both are very rich and influential.
Detective Black, a very shrewd man, howev-
er, is working the matter up. After getting all
the proofs he could possibly, outside, he went to
these men and told them he was about to expose
them. He demanded hush money. The bait
took, and both came down, it is said, hand
somely. With the bride as proof of the guilt,
Black went to District Attorney Curtis, who set
a secret inquiry in operation. Robert, the old
est son of Richards, was subponaed, as well as
his intimate friend, Samuel Rogers, both widely
known, Rogers being the son of Judge Rogers.
These young men had been overheard talking
over the plot of Richards, ST., and Taylor, and,
when both knew that the jig was up, made clean
breasts, and implicated all the parties suspected.
The case is a very bad one in all its details,
Mr. Curtis, the district attorney, has the name
representing to the full extent of the law, and
itlooks bad for the accused. hitherto among the
most respected in the southern tier.

:Professor Low CrIticlses one Cattle Rurear

CHICAGO, Nov. 14-At the session of the cat
clemens convention, this morning, a letter from
Professor Low, of Cornell University, was read,
in which he criticised the Bureau of Animal
Industry, declaring it inefficient and a needless
expense, measured by the results of its work.
He made the claim, among others, that it had
failed to discover pleuro-pneumonia among herds
in New York State when the disease was exist
ing. Commissioner Loring answered the com-
plants at some length, declaring that the bureau
was a very valuable auxiliary of the Department
of Agriculture. A motion was made to tender a
vote of thanks to Professor Low, but the matter
9Yas laid OF the table.

You then have 20 run out into the open air to get re-
lievei. Why, it is dreadful; and having so many
eminent doctors and none knowing what to do for
you, but I have found the lost treasure at last. 1t did
not take two s%poonfuls of the Cuticura Resolvent be-
them to hold off, and it is off. My flesh is becoming
softer, my hair is becoming soft and silky, and I then
and anoint the parts with Cuticura. If the thousands
knew the goodness of these medicines as l do, they
would not be twenty-four hours without it. 1t is not
only adapted to my case, but to all others, and if any
one disbelieves this let him stop next door to the
Logan House here, take my microscope and see for
himself. JOSEPH w. RILEY.
