GOVERNOR ABBETT, of New jersey, is
man who has the courage Of his conyjc-
tions. Recently permission to bury a
co'ored man IN a Hackeusack cemeter
was refused by the cemetery company and
the governor promptly seized on the occa
sion to send a special message TO the
Legislature calling attention to the fact
that the law granting charter to he
cemetery company makes no distinction
between the white and tho black man
Aud further that when the law is indul-
gent enough to exempt cemetery property
from taxation, such discrimination should
not be tolerated. This may not be very
pleasant doctrine to some people, bat the
governor is undoubtedly right in the
stand he has taken.

TIL wonderful success of DR.. F. A. Smith, the
great magnetician, whose Office is located at 661
North Pennsylvania street, continues to be the
theme of conversation among all interested. At
his public entertainments at Masonic Hall fully
two hundred persons have made statements Of
entire relief from their various Affections. He
is candid and frank in his statements, and has
performed all he has promised One of the
most singular cases operated upon, which has
come under our notice, is of a little child bear
ing the name of James Solerberg, from Frank
lin, Ind. lie had been suffering from hip
trouble and a complication of diseases. No
physician who ever examined him pronounced
him other than incurable. He was terribly
drawn out of shape, and could not walk at all.
After the first treatment he has been able to
walk, and now the curvature in the spine has
disappeared and the child is in almost as good a
condition as ne was before disease Frustrated
him. He has received in all four treatments,
and his quick recovery is one Of strange hap
penings which the regular practitioners cannot
account for. All these treatments have been
given publicly, and the great results have been
witnessed by scores of people. DR.. Smith will
continue free treatment at Masonic Hall all next
week, commencing on Tuesday morning, from
s to 8 o'clock.

TIL cremation society, lately revived, is now
established on a sound basis in indianapolis, and
looks as if it might become a success. The fact
that more people are trying to be cremated at

there shows, in the opinion of the local society,
that a crematory might be carried on here with
success. The cremation society has been regu-

out for a walk about the city. He stepped in
at Sam Dinnin's dive on Washington street,

claimed that he had known him in Lawrence
burg. The stranger induced Steiner to go to
Saxton's saloon, where he had q few moments
before refused an invitation from Saxton to
play a game of draw poker. The drinks were
called for, but Steiner refused to drink his beer
because it had a strange taste. They sat down
to a table to play poker, and Saxton again called
for the drinks. Il Observed Steiner says, in
relating what happened, that mine was set

People in all the large cities of the

wheat are taxed as much as ever for

ELECTS very strong compliments
through the newspapers, and frequent
suggestions are found in favor of govern
ment regulation of this matter, as in
Europe. There the law 4compels all
bakers to make their loaves of uni
form weight, and the people know what
they are buying and how much q pound
they are paying: Here, where wheat
was never SO low in the memory of iv-
ing man, the people are taxed as much
as ever for Hour and bread. In an in
terview with New York baker he said !;
"Well, suppose flour has gone down., do
you suppose we're going to lower our
price, 80 long as We have no trouble in
getting the prices we now ask? It

you newspaper fellows amt a-going to
play the same trick on US here as was
played in England some time ago.

Chicago and Her Big Fire.

Tribune, Oct. 10.
Thirteen years ago to-day Chicago
was smoking waste. For nearly two
days fire had swept over 1000 acres Of
it's fairest and most enterprising area,
destroying more than II 900 buildings,
among them all it's public structures
and it's largest business houses, banks,
newspaper Offices and places of amuse'
'ment, entailing loss of $3.50, 900. 600 OF
property ard turning nearly 100, 900 of
IFS people out of their homes. En- thfee
years of time it was substantially re-
built and, started upon new career of
prosperity: To-day scarcely a trace
remains of that Widespread ruin. In its
place larger and finer structures have
risen, and north, south and west Chi
cago is reaching out end extending her
dominion. The horror of 1871 is now
scarcely remembered; at most it is but
a dim "reminiscences. Almost genera
ton has been added to it's numbers and
crowds sofw new Corners have moved
here, so that a large proportion OF its
6OO, 900 people have little actual knowl-
edge of the events of those terrible
days, and so far away have we drifted,
and so radient and magical have been
tho changes, that probably few of those
who passed through the fry ordeal re-
called it yesterday or would remember
it to-day but for this reminder.
