A Madman'S' Legacy.

"Sre :" exclaimed man in the homely garb
of mechanic to Richelieu, Prime Minister of
France, as he was entering his palace; Sire,
have made discovery which shall make rich
and great the nation which shall develop it.
Sire, will you give me an audience?"
Richelieu, constantly importuned. finally Or
dered the "madman imprisoned. Even in Jail
he did not desist from declaring his st delusion,"
which one day attracted the attention of Brit
ish nobleman, who heard De Causes story, and
developed his discovery of steam power!
All great discoveries arc at first derided.
Seven years ago man yet under middle age,
enriched by business which covered the con-
tinent, found himself suddenly stricken down.
When his physicians said recovery was impOssi-
ble he used new discovery, which, like all
advances in science, had been opposed bitterly
by the schoolmen. Nevertheless, it cured him,
and out of gratitude therefor he consecrated a
part of his wealth to the spreading of its merits
before the world. Such in brief is the history
of Warmers safe cure, which has won, according
to the testimony of eminent persons, the most
deserved reputation ever accorded to any known
compound and which is finally winning on its
merits alone the approval of the most conserva-
tive practitioners. Its fame now belts the
globe.-The Herald.

A QUEER PROJECT.
Colony of Women to be Founded in Colorado,
Perhaps.
[ Denrer (Col.) Tri5une.J

Denrer (Col) Tribune
Mrs. Olive Wright, of Denver, says that there
is to be women's colony in Colorado, and talks
in this way about it: SIN the first place, there
are a great many Eastern women who have
capital to invest and who desire to put it into
something which will benefit women. They
can't do anything like that in Eastern towns,
because popular pre- udice is against it. Getting
out here will grant them room and liberty
they can do what they like, and / think they
will like to do considerable. / have the au-
thority of several gifted and wealthy women
in Boston and New York on this question. /
know whereof l speak"
"Where do you propose locating this colonyP'
"In the beautiful, smiling Valley of the San
Luis. That is where l want to pitch a tent,
the work in which shall rebound to the honor
and glory of women. Rich women will build
up the colony, and poor women will come here
and establish industries by which to support
themselves. They will likely engage in bee
culture, silk culture the raising of small-fruits,
the raising of domestic animals the manufac-
turing of preserves and jellies, and various
other similar industries"
Somebody asked her the other day if men
were to be excluded from the women's colony
in the San Luis Valley. She replied that that
was the queerest question ever put to her;
said she didn't think barbed wire fences would
have any effect in keeping them out of that
colony, and she had no idea of keeping dozen
sturdy Amazons on watch, as the fair ladies did
in 1.-THE Princess" 1t is understood there will
be plenty of men on hand in the Immediate
vicinity of the sunny San Luis about the time
the famous colony is started. This rather knocks
the poetry out of the scheme, but its practical
advantages may thus be enhanced. Men wont
have any glory down there anyway; they will
have to resign themselves to being overshad-
owed from the beginning. They will do nicely
to fill in the background, and may sometimes
be intrusted with the duties of understewards.
AS for figuring extensively, their sex is against
them, and they will be kept down.

ITALIAN VS. CHINAMAN
Bloodess Duel Over D. Young Woman in Connec-
ticut.

Sam Kee, who washes ip, the laundry at Put
nam, Conn., and Jimmy LeYaggi, an Italian en-
plOyed in mill, fell fin love with a French
young woman of this village, who was pleased
with each. Indiscreetly she invited both to
call at her home one evening recently. The
Italian arrived first, and was sitting by her
side when Sam Kee sided into the parlor. He
at once took seat on the other side Of the girl,
and began to make love to her in urgent Orien
tai style. Levaggi excitedly caught hold of
his blouse, and demanded:
"What do you mean, you almond-eyed rat
eater?
Maxim love to Mclean gal" calmly replied
Sam. Levaggi drew his revolver and prepared
to shoot, but the Chinaman whipped out his
pistol and fired the first shot. Each snitor fired
twice before the young woman could part them.
The bullets lodged in the walls of the room.
Next day Sam Kee caused the arrest of Le-
vaggi, who was fined So and costs in Justice
Chesebro's court. Sam kee threatens to make
it still hotter for the Italian if he ''no lettee

A Startling Statement,

At recent gathering OF medical men in
Philadelphia DIR. w. s. Janney late coroner of
that city, made the startling statement that
"no healthy man or woman ever dies in this
climate from cholera morbus." He repeated
the remark to the editor of the Medical and
Surgical Reporter, saying that records of the
coroners Office would substantiate his words.
He explained that by healthy" he meant a
person without organic diseases and of average
strength and vitality. Such person." he
said, "when dying with symptoms of cholera
morbns always dies from poisoning usually
arsenic) and the case is one Of suicide or homi-
eide" The ex-corOner first examined into
these cases when a stout, healthy man of his
acquaintance died after an illness of sc
hours with symptoms of cholera morbus. He
has been attended by four reputable physicians
one of whom had signed the death certificate.
Yet he instituted an investigation. and found
enough arsenic in the deceased to kill a dozen
men. He afterward met with five or six simi-
lar cases. DIR. BarthGlow, in a conversation
with the editor of the Reporter, said that he had
not the least doubt of the correctness of DIR.
Janney's assertion. Another prominent ply
sician stated his belief in these views, and re-
ferred the causes of such attempts to poison
with arsenic to connubial uncongeniality.

He Owned Enough.


At one of the stations on the San FranciesO &
Northern Pacific Railway, few Sundays since,
an elderly gentleman got off the cars to take
brief observations during the stOppage of the
train. The assistant at the station rushed out
and made q regular baggage-smasher's attack
on a trunk, which he slammed about with a
reckless disregard of consequences. The other
man interposed: Young man, won't you
break that trunk ?" The young man turned a
whitening look upon the old gentleman, and
impudently inquired: whats the matter
with you? Do you own this trunk" "No,
sir!" came back in tone that evinced much
indignation; but I'll have you to understand,
sir, that own this railroad" As Col. Dona-
hue moved back to the train the limp young
man reclined against the station for support.
