A Chance for Inquiry.

While nothing ought to be left undone
to discover a remedy for, or a protection
against, yellow fever. or any other infec-
tious or contagious disease, it Is a Ques-
ton whether it wouldn't be wise to make
a few inquiries about the alleged inocu-
lation experiments of DR.. Friere IN Rio
Janeiro before going to the expense of
sending a commission to Brazil to investi-
gate them. The bill which Senator Eus-
tbs, of Louisiana, has introduced into the
Senate, authorizing the sending of a COM
mission to Brazil and Mexico, calls for
quite large appropriation. There can be
no possible objection TO spending very
large amount of money in behalf of the
object mentioned in the bill, provided
there are reasons for thinking that Valu-
able information may be obtained.
Asamatter of fact, however, what effort
has been made to find out whether or not
the reports about the success of Or.
Friere's experiments are well founded ?
Has our Minister to Brazil been invited
to inquire into them and report the result
OF his Investigations? Has the testimony
OF visitors to Rio Janeiro, and of sea can
tains trading at that port, been soughtY
If 1t has il has not appeared in print
A few days ago the MORNING NEWS
published a statement from the Health
Officer Of this port to the effect that ne

A shrewd salesmsn's Trick.


fell in with two veteran Fulton county
glove men on a Central Hudson train. One
OF the gentlemen was a manufacturer. The
other as a drummer. They joked and re-
lated anecdotes about the glove trade. ''You
remember Dwight Thomas" said the manu-
facturer. Yes, we'll; l first met Dwight
when | was clerking in country grocery
store forty-fve years ago. Dwight had the
reputation at one time of selling more goods
than any other man who went cut of Fulton
county. Many years ago he used to go around
the country with wagon. When he found
thatsome style of glove Or mitt was going slow,
he would put thirteen pair in a regular dozen
box, and plump in country store with the
box under his arm. He would put up the list
price of the goods from 81 to So. It's the last
dozen l have he would say. The ever
cautious stOrekeeper would carefully count
over the thirteen pair in the dozen box. and,
thinking he had bargain, would tumble into
Dwight's trap and buy them. To the next
customer Dwight would say in disposing of
the eleven pair at an increase of 81 on the
list price: The proprietor of such and such q
hotel bought pair Of those gloves last sea-
son. He was so well pleased with he good
quality of the glove that he made me break
this dozen when l stopped over last night
Dwight must have been 20 years old when he
died at GlOversyille three or four years ago.

Over and under, and in and out
The swift little needle flies;
For always between her and idleness

Hnd the patient hands, though weary,
Work lovingly on and on
At tasks that never are fuished;
For mending is never done.
She takes up the fathers stocking,
Aud skilfully knlts IN the heel,
And smooths the seam with tender touch
That he may no rOughness feel:
And her thoughts TO her merry girlhood
And her early WifehoOd go,
And she smiles at the first pair Of stockings

Then she speaks to the little maiden

A ForgetfuI Person.


From the B0st0n Fleming Record.
Another remarkable case of absent-mind-
edness has come to the hearing of the hsto-
rlan, and the victim is venerable scholar
who Is said to be so absorbed In h studies as
TO be clouded absolutely TO the consciousness
OF outside matters. On the day succeeding
his marriage he called at his father-in-law S
house and asked after his wife by her maiden
name.
On one occasion he went TO the post office to
get letter and forgot his name, so that he
was unable to ask for it. While he was strain
ing his memory to recall the name a friend
came along and adore sed him by it, thus ex-
Treating him from very disheartenlng posi-
ton. His wife often has to recall him to him %
self in his fits of absent mindedness. He once

himself in suit of solemn black, including

Did the Secretary Miss the Point :

Did the Secretary Miss the Point =?
Mr.. A. NJ. Keiley's affairs continue to
engage the attention OF Senators. There
appears to be great difference or opinion
among them whether or not the Secretary
OF State handled the Kelley case with
marked ability. Some OF the Democratic
Senators think that it could not have been
managed with greater dignity and skill,
and other Democratic Senators seem in
clined % think that he botched the whole
business. Among the latter is Senator
Eustis, OF Louisiana. Mr.. Eustis says
that the Secretary failed 70 grasp the
point made by the Austrian government
with respect 10 the marriage OF Mr..
Kelley 10 a Jewess. He is Of the
opinion that the correspondence shows
that the Austrian government had no
objection to the Jewess, but TO the civil
marriage Of Mr.. Kelley. Mr.. Kelley il
a Catholic, and civil marriage between
a Catholic and person Of another reli-
gious faith, or between Catholics, Is not
recognized In Austria. In other words

The Capitol Changed.

WHEELING, w. Va, May 2.-Wheeling
is no longer the capital of West Virginia.
The state archives, government property
and the officers and their families left on
the steamer Bell Prince and Chesapeake
this morning for Charleston, which under
the provisions of an act passed in 1879 by
the legislature, became the permanent seat
of government for this state on and after
to-day.
This is the second time that this city has
ceased to be the capitol. 1t was made
such when the state was formed. At the
close of the war Charleston became the
capitol. In 1875 Wheeling was made the
capitol again, the city agreeing to furnish
quarters free of cost so long as the capitol
should be at Wheeling. This building
large and commodious, now becomes the
city hall. The steamers expect to reach
Charleston tomorrow night. The new
state house is not yet completed, only a
few of the executive Offices being ready
for occupancy.-St. Paul Dispatch.
