West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-10-07

A representative Of the New York
tribune Gas made public the fact
mat some of the liquor-saloons of
this city sell quinine pills, as we'll
as whisky, to their patrons. A bar
tender who was Intercepted by
him on the subject said: I'VE sell
lots of quinine. If we didn't keep
it our customers would go to the
drugstore for their liquor as we'll
as their quinine. 1t would do no
good to kick, SO We set up the pills.
Quinine to certain extent acts on
the system like liquor. Men who
drink much or go in for any excite
ment,until the ordinary stimulants
fail 70 "nerate on their nervous
system, often take to quinine, opium
or its compounds, chloral, absinthe,
and so on" This testimony of one
who has had favorable opportu-
nifty to know the habits of habit
ual drinkers indicates something
of the nature and extent of their
wretched bondage to abnormal ap-
petite. After a time even the al
cohol fails to satisfy its cravings,
and it must needs be quieted and
deadened by quinine and other
kindred drugs. Total abstinence
is the only safeguard against this
deplorable drink-bondage.- Nat.

Hear This.

A Chippewa chief, Hole-in.the-
Day, while en- route recently to St.
Paul to testify in Federal court
against some whisky-sellers engag-
ed in selling illegally intoxica-
ting liquors to Indians, was taken
from a Northern Pacific train at a
way station, dragged into the
woods, and so brutally beaten as
not to be expected to recover.
Such is the savagery of the whisky

THE DYNAMITERS.
Object of the Coming Conference at the
French Capital.

A London Times Paris telegram says:
The object Of the coming meeting of the
dynamiters in Paris is to propose terms of
affiliation with the Fenian associations.
Several of the extremists are anxious to
form such a union. They arc prepared to
abandon the policy of making attacks upon
public buildings if the Fenians will aid the
dynamiters in directing their efforts to-
ward the destruction of British war ships,
and with that view it is proposed that ex-
Head Center Stephens shall be invited to
attend by. the conference. 1t is also in
tended to move fer the enactment of
French law against the prosecution of
Irishmen in Paris by the Bourdier-M Monte
queit Detective Agency. 1t is also in
tended to discuss McDermott's conduct in
remaining spy in the British service. The
leaders Of the movement are aware of the
whereabouts of McDermott, and it is now
threatened that they intend to offer re-
ward for his 'sremoval."

AN AGED FARMER SHOT.
His Wife and Daughter Charged With
the Murder,

A special from Jonesboro, Ala, says: 4
most horrible murder was the killing, last
Saturday night, near here, of Bennett Par
sons, farmer, aged i years. Between
and 10 o'clock p. m., according TO their
story, Mrs. Parsons and her two daughters
went to the stable for something, and dur
ing their absence from the house they
heard the report of a gun. They paid lit
tie attention to it, as it is not an excep-
tional occurrence, and returning to the
house, they retired. They declare that
they did not find out that Parsons was shot
until morning, when they found his body
badly burned and lying on the hearth in
his room. The coroner's jury rendered
the following verdict: "Bennett Parsons
came to his death by being shot with gun,
we believe, in the hands of his wife. We
also believe that his two daughters were
accessory to the crime"

METEMNEH.
The English Await Reinforcemcnts Be-
fore Attacking It.

The Mahdi's men are SO we'll situated at
Metemneh that it has been deemed advis-
able to await reinforcements before assault
ing the STRONGHOLD. Upon the arrival of
reinforcements General Stewards COM
mand will endeavor to take Metemneh by
storm. The action of the troops after that
will largely depend upon General Gordon.
It is said that Gordon, if success crowns
the work Of the expedition, may positively
refuse to be relieved, and that he may in
sist upon remaining at Khartoum and es-
tablishing government there. In the lat
ter case Stewards forces will will be push
ed forward, and will attack the Mahhi at
Omdurman. General Earle's army will
probably meet battle It Abu Hamed, where
the Mahdi has assembled large force.

HEBER NEWT0N'S HERESIES.
The Trinity Pronounced a Sort of Mid
Summer Nights Dream.

Heber Newton's sermon on Sunday upon
"The Trinity and Original SIM is TO be
followed by second presentment of New
ton to his Bishop for heresy. The Epis-
copal layman who is said to be drafting the
presentment says the pressure which is
being brought to bear upon Assistant
Bishop Potter is one to which, in all prob
ability, he will be constrained to yield from
high sense of duty. Newton declared in
his last Sundays sermon that the doctrine
Of the Trinity is utterly grotesque, if not
sort Of "Mid- Summer Nights Dream" for
which Christianity is indebted to the influ-
ences Egyptian and probably Hindoo spec
ulation. He also said that the doctrine Of
original sin, not less than that of the Trim
ity, is contrary to science, revealed truth
and the genius and spirit Of religion. Or
thodox churchmen who have stood by
Newton heretofore and upheld him in his
criticism Of spiritual inspiration now stand
shocked at these utterances. Others, less
shaken by the pulpit utterances of some of
the churches, put Newton among the noto-
riety cravers, regarding him as a brilliant
young man, blinded by self:conceit. The
present movement against Newton is
stronger than that previously employed to
induce DR.. Potter to take some action in
his case.

WORK OF A WOMAN.
Rosa Shot by Jeslet Dudley
in the Street.

The shooting of O'Donovan Rosa took
plnce in New York on February I'd at II
minutes past O'Clock. He is still alive.
He was in front of the Stewart building on
Chambers street, when he was approached
by handsome young lady, dressed plainly.
She wore spectacles, and had the appear
ance of an intelligent school teacher. She
drew a fve.barrelled revolver from her
dress pocket, and leveling it at Rosa, fired
one shot. Rosa threw his hands above
his head, and cried, "1'm shot" He then
fell heavily on the sidewalk. The woman
fired the remaining bullets in her pistol at
the PROSTATE man, and unconcernedly
walked off, with the smoking revolver in
her hand. She was followed by large
crowd, while still larger mob surrounded
the wounded dynamiter. City Marshal
James McAuley, in the absence of police
man, saw the revolver in the woman's
hand, and arrested her. She was conducted
to the twenty sixth precinct station house.
In the City Hall her coolness Of demeanor
was remarkable when arraigned at the
Sergeant's desk, where she gave her name
as Jesiet Dudley.
Rosa, in the Chamber street hospital
made the following statement to Coroner
Kennedy:
"On Saturday, January 31st, at p. M, l
received letter at my Office, No. Cham
Der street. The message was in writing,
and was delivered by messenger. boy.
The note stated that lady wished to see
me; that she was interested in the Irish
cause, and desired to assist it. She did not
care to go to my Office and remain there
until came. She only would ask for ten
minutes time. The boy told me that She
was at the telegraph Office in the Stewart
building, on Broadway and Chamber
streets. l went with him, and met her.
told her it would be we'll to go to some
hotel, as telegraph Office was no place to
talk in. We came out and went to Swee-
ney's Hotel. We went into the ladies'
parlor, and she said she was able to give
considerable money if anything good was
done. She then said she would call again
on February I'd at 4 o'clock. To-day she
sent another message 20 my Office, and l
went to the same telegraph Office, and met
the lady. She showed me paper, which
was to sign. She then suggested that
we go to some place, and we walked down
Chamber street toward Broadway, and as
we got a short distance toward Broadway,
the woman stepped back, and fired two or
three shots at me. One of the balls entered
my back"

CHINESE RESTRICTION.
How the Law Might BE Rendered More
Effective.

A New York Tribune editorial says:
Calitornians say, and doubtless truly, that
the Chinese restriction act is largely evad-
ed by emigrants who enter San Francisco
on certificates that do not belong to them,
and all attempts to exclude them fail, oe-
cause the immigrants and their friends do
not hesitate to commit perjury in claiming
the validity of the certificates. Perhaps
something can be done ct the other end of
the line. Practically all these Cinnamon
come from Canton by way of Hongkong.
If the United States Consuls at those
places were empowered to examine the
certificates of all Chinese emigrants, and
prevent steamship companies from taking
as passengers any whose certificates were
not manifestly valid, a great check would
be placed upon the tide of illegal travel.
1t would be much easier to determine a
Chinaman's identity at Canton or Hong
kong than at San Francisco. Moreover,
the Chinese authorities at those places
seem sincere in their offers to cooperate
in such work. The inspection of certificates
would cost less in China than in Califor-
MIA, and the San Francisco courts would
then be able to attend to other business
than the interminable wrangle over the
false certificates and wholesale perjury in
pigeon English.

Deyelopment of Mines.

The old story that a seataring man would bankrupt himself on a farm ap- plies with equal force to any other wslE n lie. The printer probably would not cover himself with glory as a grocer nor a grocer make fortune ss shoe maker. To send person to examine a mine, or to put him in charge when he knows nothing about 1t, Is equivalent tC throwing money away. Nothing re quires more thorough and practical Knowledge for successful working than mines of gold or silver. ltis a knovl- edge which can only be acquired by ex' perienee-and a very bitter experience as a rule. Placlng incompetent men in charge of mines IS q two-edged sword It cuts both ways. It disgusts, if Il does not lmpoverisb, those who are SC inconslderate as to trust them, and Il gIves a bad name to the district where they operate. Thoroughly trained min ing men can be obtained, and whoever delays the development of a distrlct, or brings suspicion upon it's character, Is
 landing in hIs O= light and IDiurIng hts neighbOr.-Record Epitaph.

One of the most fortunate incidents that occurred in connection with the tour of the Mexican editors, through thls country, happened right at the threshold of their own country as they
 were returning home. They fell into the hands of the Cerberus of the Mex
 ican custom house, and be worried them
 till all the sweetness had gone out of
 their tempers. He refused to let the presents and souvenirs they obtained in
 the United States go through hls cue
 tom house without the payment ot
 heavy duties. In vain they ravsd and
 s,ormed and swDre and sad that they were the opinion moulders of the land of God and Liberty. Finally Cerberus
 consented tha, the gifts should be pack ei m a freight car and shipped through
 to the city Of Mexico. where Diaz him. l self might determine the momentous question.

Captain II. M. Kendall, commanding troop A of the Sixth cavalry, was in the city yesterday, stopping at the Euro pean hotel, on his way from the In dian front Tn Old Mexico to Fort Win gate. Those who think that the sol diers have been having a picnic down in that untry have only to look at this bronzed officer with his threadbare and weather beaten uniform tO be un- deceived. lis personal appearance gives every indication of hard and try ing service. CaptaIn Kendall has been with Crawfords command, aud they penetrated into Old Mexico through a country of terrible rOughness, where great pTivaiiOns were endured. Cap tain Kendall says that the ApachsS have all broken up into small hands, and he thinks all but three familles will make iheir way back to the re.ervstlOn. Geronimo, MaDgus and N6cthtZ, with their families, he thinks will not come back across the Mexican iIne. Captain Kendall says that Mspgus, and not Ger oulmO, isthe real leader of tie hCstlles, but Geronimo has been credited with leadership because be was better known and was an older man. Speaking Oi the late battle between the Mexican troops an1 the Yaqui Indians m Sonora, the captain says that the MexlcaTs were bUtchersd in q horrible manner, and are reported down there 10 have lost fully a thousand men.
