The would-be Assassin of Nj. De Frey

PARIS, Nov. MARRIOTT, the would-be
assassin of NJ De Freycinet, declares that
he fired wide of the minister; that he did
not intend to do injury, but only wished
to draw public attention to his grievance.
Mariotti's story that his daughter was
outraged by workmen on the Panama
canal and that the miscreants escaped pun-'
ishment is confirmed by the Panama Canal
company. 1t is believed NJ. De Freycinet
will apply for Mariotti's release.

WASHINGTON Feb. 6.-Representative HIT
of Illinois, member of the House committee on
foreign affairs, and probably the most expert
enced diplomatic in congressional life said to the
Journal correspondent, to night. that it was ig-
norance of the effect of the measure which
prompted members to object to consid-
Grafton of the Mexican treaty. and that
if it could be got before the House it would
surely be passed 1t was by far the best COM
mercial treaty the United States had negotiated
with foreign country. He said almost any
article it contained was already duty free so far
as our ports were concerned, while those which
Mexico admitted for US were, at present. barred
out. 1t would eventually lead to control of the
Mexican import markets by this country. Mr.
Hit thought the Nicaragauan treaty might be
ratified at the extra session of the Senate. 1t
would be without doubt if President CleI Gland
looks upon it with favor.

The Charge that He Sacrificed His Mems
Lives Pronounced False.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Star prints an
interview with Lieut.. Greedy in which that
officer denies the truth of certain injurious
statements made about him in connection with
the proposition to create for him the Office of
Assistant Chief Signal Officer Lieut.. Greedy
says: s.,
''This time the attack has taken the shape of
publications going to show that the withdrawal
of the bill in my favor from Congress was not
for the reason given, but because of charges
said to have been preferred by Sergeant Brain
ard of cowardice andinhumanity on my part dur
ing the expedition. and statements made to the
committee that the diaries of the men show that
sacrificed the lives of my men for food. etc.
have every reason to believe that the withdrawal
OF the bill was not for these reasons, but be-
cause Of the evident intention of Congress to in
clude no new business in the appropriation bills
There has been, however, some secret influence
at work against me, and am satisfied that it
was the intention to use it when it might be of
the most avail. do not know from what source
the attacks emanated, but they have finally as
sumed such phase as to enable me to take ac-
ton regarding them.
II have to-day written a letter to the Secre-
tary of War containing unmistakable proofs of
the falsity of these accusations 1t contains a
certificate from the proper authorities that the
alleged, and Sergeant Brainard has himself
denied that he has made the charges as alleged.
While am not at liberty to give you all the
contents, l am free to say that they furnish q
complete exoneraton from the accusations.
This is the last time that l will ever make
any effort to disprove charges against me. but in
this instance felt owed such course to my
many friends who have interested themselves in
my behalf. AS regards the killing of men,
everybody knows that private Henry was shot
by my ORDERS but no one else. In this connec
ton will say what have not heretofore said,
that have been officially exonerated by the
Secretary of War from all blame for the execu
ton of Henry"
General Hazen says there is no foundation
whatever for the statement that the journals of
the members of the Lady Franklin bay party
show discredltable conduct on the part of Lieu
tenant Greedy. He declares, also. that those
journals have never been mutilated for the pur.
pose of concealing unpleasant facts.
Sergeant Brainard says he did not make any
charges to the committee and has never made
any statement or expression to anybody, which,
by the most liberal construction could be turned
into criticism of Lieutenant Greely's bravery,
humanity, or judgment

question of dynamite, and all asking the potent
question, "What do you think will be the outcome

Speaking of the matter to day New York
m ember said that he had been approached so
frequently on the subject of dynamite, and had
been asked so often by different men he did not
know what would be the result of the consider
alton of the resolutions, and whether the House
would do anything in the matter, that he felt
uneasy. A number of members have to-
day remarked the intense interest these
strangers are taking in the dynamite
question. There are suspicious that the
dynamiters have agents here watching affairs,
and it is shown that there English detectives
here and in New York, while this government is
looking after the dynamiters, also so that it
may simply be a elimination of these interests
at the door of this committee room.
1t was reported, the other day. that
provision would be inserted in one
of the appropriation bills for a fund
to cooperate with England and other countries
in ferreting out the dynamiters in this country,
and within half day all the members of the

A Young Doctors Dread.

In, conversation with a doctor he
said to me: "Do you wish to know
the greatest source of worriment to q
young practitioner It is that he will
be called to save a poisoned person.
There are SO many sorts of poison, the
symptoms are SO intricate, and the an
tdotes so varied, that it is almost inn
possible to keep them in ones head by
merely theoretical learning, Actual
experience impresses knowledge on a
doctor, and an old man has accumu-
lated a stock in that way, but the
youngsters don't have it within sudden
reach. In the ordinary routine of
practice we can delay treatment long
enough TO look into textbook or to
consult with some kind old chap in the
professions; but when we are hastily
summoned to the side of a patient with
poison in his stomach, the nature of
which, can only be determined by symp.
toms, and whose life can only be saved
by quick dosing with the right drug
the responsibility is something fright
ful. What dol do? | carry in an in
ner pocket a thin book containing a
summary of poisons, symptoms and
antdotes. That is q common practice
with young doctors, and few old
ones, too.a The liability to summons
as a witnessin court after attending to
a poisoning case makes physicians ad
ditionaily alert and anxious. That
lends terror to the risk of mistakes,
and the remark of my friend was
doubtless sincere: I'D rather hire a
substitute at five times the fee / am go
ing to get every time I'm called to a
poisoned patient : Utica Observer.

A French woman viii prepare good

dinner that the average American
housewife would use as plain lunch
or side dish for breakfast. Christine
Terhune Herrick says that the cause of
waste is due not so much to the eGtrav-
agance of the housewife as to the
ignorance. She says: ''The dainty
utilization of scraps is a subject that
well repays the thoughtful study of any
housewife, and even the least original
cook can often evolve from their inner

do it, or appreciate that it is in the
minor economies that true saving con-
sists. What difference does it make if
those scraps of cold bacon left from
breakfast are SUNNI arily disposed of in
the sW IL barrel, or if. that bit of corn
beef--too small to appear upon the table
again--is bestowed upon the first
basket-beggar who presents himself?

judgment will give, approximately cor
rect results: To find the number OF
tons in a NOW multiply together the
length, height and width in yards and
divide by fifteen, if the hay be well
packed. If the NOW be shallow and
the hay recently placed therein. divide
by eighteen, and by any number from
fifteen to eighteen, according as the
hay is well packed. The product VIII
be the amount of hay in tons. To find.
the number of tons of hay in square
or long stack, multiply the length of
the, base in yards by the width in yards,
and that by half the height in yards.
and divide by fifteen. To find the
amount of hay in a load without weigh
ing it, multiply together the length,
width and height in yards and divide
the product by twenty, or, less num-
Der in proportion as the load may be
closely packed or settled. These rules
