The Gould Quo Warranto Suits.

ST. LOUIS, No., March 1.-Gov. John C.
Brown, general solicitor of the Gould rail-
road system, in an interview says that the
quo warranto suits instituted in the Missouri
supreme court against Jay Gould and asso-
ciates for violation of constitutional pro-
vision prohibiting common control of paral-
lei railroad lines, were inspired by President
Plant. of the Southern Express company.
to compel Gould to admit that company to
express privileges over the Southwestern
Gould system at Plants own terms. The
Southern Express some time since was put
off the iron Mountain road, and Plant at
once commenced suit which he won This
and two other suits are now pending on an.
peal to the United States supreme court
The Gould counsel refused to agree to
a continuance, whereupon the quo war
ranto proceedings were begun, to force
q compromise. Speaking tor Gould, Gov.
Brown says that there will be no compromise
made, but If the federal court decides that
the Southwestern system must admit Plants
company, the Pacific express will at once
invade all the territory of the Plant CON-
pany. He denies that there is any parallel.
ism between the Missouri Pacific, Missouri;
Kansas l. Texas and Iron Mountain, and de-
clares that there can be no violation of the
constitution as long as the maximum rates
OF transportation fixed by Jaw are observed.
Hence the quo warranto suits cannot stand.

DR.. Hammond on Baths;

DIR. Hammond has been putting his
heel on what may be called the Turk
ish bath superstition. He says that the
Turkish bath is not suited for every
body. In cases of heart disease it is
positively injurious. The doctor him.

bath, but he prefers the cold bath every
morning. II would recommend it."
he says, "for every one with whom it
agrees. That is the test of common sense
and medical science. IT. you remain blue
cold after q bath, do not take it again
while in the same state of health. If,
on the other hand. your system reacts,
the effect is entirely beneficial. If you
pin me down to generalization, I should
say that the tepid bath is the most bene-
fetal to the majority of people. The
hot bath should never be taken in ones

Dedicated to dear, old mother)
Ny mothers old face, it is wrinkled and wan,
And the bloom Of it's beauty has fed,
As left but the leaf that clings 10 tho tree,
When it's blossoms are Withered and dead;
But the love thatiliumes the scars Of the years,
Undimmed in its beauty and light,
Is true as the star that follows the sun,
To brighten the dusk of the night
The love Of the world, may shine - tho wing.
OF the butterfly slipping the flower,
To vanish away when the honey is dry,
And the wine of it's nectar il sour,
But the love that is shrined in ttaetherhood's
heart,
Knows nothing of death or decay,
a. the gold that endures when tho clods of the
mine,
Are trampled in ashes and clay:
Ny mothers old face, it is wrinkled and wan,
But what with its worth can compare?
Or rival the love unfailing and true,
In it's setting Of wrinkle and care;
So fade as it may in the Winter of years,
And droop in the drifts of the snow;
In the gardens of God will blossom again
The rose that was gathered below.

accused of poisoning her sister and other
members of her family, and whose trial at
Elkhorn has begun, the PIONEER PRESS cor
respondent learned to-day the line of defense
which Miss Horan's lawyers will follow The
first point they will present is that there did
not exist any motive for the alleged poison
ing; secondly, they will charge the chemist
who examined the dead sisters with incom-
potency, and attempt to prove by the testi-
mony of other experts that the proofs given
by the chemist for the existence of poison
are no proofs at all; thirdly, that the work
of embalming dead bodies by the injection
of certain chemicals leave effects upon the
vscera Of human bodies similar to those left
by the use of the strychnine; and. lastly,
that the package of poison purchased from
the drug store by Miss Koran before her sis

Robert Collyer preached recently,
In New York city, on the subject of
George Eliot" While he paid the
highest tribute to her genius and to the
elevated tone of hor writings, he said !:
II can not but believe that she has made
one grave mistake, and that, say what
We will, or love her for her beautiful
genius as we do, she must answer for
It," He added, however, that he felt
under such obligations to her that he
would as soon make accusation against
his own mother or sister as to press tho
accusation against her.
