FREEDOM. During the past few weeks a new
atmosphere has seemed to pervade our village, in
fusing new life and energy into both Old and
young; even the squire walks our streets almost as
brisk in days gone by. Academy hill has been
the scene of such transformations as have not oc-
CURED before for nearly half century. Fifty years
ago the Academy built and nearly forty years
ago the church erected, and here they have
stood, the church In particular, the same as when
completed. Butduring the past four weeks, through
the efforts of our new PASTOR Mr.. Gardiner, the
church has been repaired, remodeed, painted,
papered and decorated till the little village OF Free
dom can boast of the neaest, prettiest little place
of public worship of any town in Waldo Co. If the
people Of adjoining towns do not believe it let them
come to the dedication exercises next Sunday and
see for themselves. The repairs and improvements
at the Academy are also nearly completed and it is
to be dedicated Sat. Aug. Is. The trustees and
Executive OH GERS determined to make this Old
Academy permanent institution and are making
every effort to revive of the old time interest
in the school The dedication exercises will consist
of an Grafton at the church in the afternoon by

CooaIne's Terrible Effect--A Chi
oago Physician Becomes Insane
From Using the Drug.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29-Dr. Charles D.
Bradley, a well known physician of the
north side. who has become crazed
from excessive indulgence in cocaine,
was taken before Judge Prendergast
by his friends on Friday. From the
evidence, which was taken in private,
1t was shown that DR.. Bradley from
excessive use of the drug had be-
come practically insane, and while
under its influence had made
experiments on his family that
have ruined their health. He
claimed that he could inject the by
drochiorate of cocaine without pain,
and remove portions of the flesh with.
out injury to the patient. To prove
this he injected some of the prepara-
ton into his own arm, and then
burned out the surrounding tissues
with a red hot iron without flinching.
lie made a similar experiment on his
j. year-old child, and used the drug in
the most reckless way among other
members of his family. He soon
became a slave to its use himself, and
made the most absurd claims. He
declared that he was going to revolu-
tlonize medicine generally, and become
the worlds %benefac:or. In pursuit of
hia wild imaginings he mortgaged all
his property, and his sick wife and
invalid children are in absolute
poverty. While before Judge Prem
dergast he acted in a most eccentric
way, calling on God to convince the
judge and physicians that his theory
was right.
DR.. Wadsworth and DR.. Brewer,
who attended him. testified that they
believed him insane from the use of
cocaine and morphine, and thought he
should be confined in an institution,
suggesting, as an experiment, that he
be sent to the Washington Home. The
recommendation raj acted upon by
the court. Three of the children were
sent to St. Vincent's Hospital, and
Mrs. Bradley and the other two chill
dren to st. Joseph's. Their recovery
to health is considered doubtful. DR..
w. IL. Brewer stated that a remarkable
effect Of the indulgence in cocaine was
the destruction of the moral sense and
the affections. Bradley, he said, had
quarreled with nearly all his friends,
and had threatened to shoot him. He
added that cocaine was The most dia-
bolical and fascinating of the narcot-
tics, and its use was fast becoming
prevalent. Dr.. II. NJ. Ligman, of Rush
College, thinks that casts of the CO.
caine habit are as yet rare.

Three or four weeks ago the very

no one ever saw the waistcoat closed all

and a half at a time. After this perform
ance had gone on for a week or two the
young gentleman said to a friend who wa
about to indulge In it again;
"Look here, old chappie, don't do
that.
Don't do what, dear boy?"

THE Republican Senate is under NO

THE Republican Senate is under nc
obligation of courtesy or policy to elect
a Democratic President pro TEN. 1t is
better for all concerned that the pre-
siding officer should belong to the
party controlling that body. The
Democrats Of the House can, as soon
as they meet, cut off his chances of
succeeding to the Presidency during
the current term, by simply passing
the bill which all the Democrats and
Republicans in the Senate voted for
last session. AS the election for a Re-
publican President of the Senate would
stimulate the House Democrats to act
promptly on this bill, in order to pre-
vent a transfer of the executive power
to the Republicans by Cleveland's
death, we hope the Senate will elect a
Republican. The majority will sin
against party usage and public policy
both, if they elect anybody but a Re-
publican ST. Louis Post-D Dispatch.

An Intelligent Elephant.

A recent writer in Nature gives an in.
stance of remarkable adaptation in ele.
plants. He observed a young one go TO a
fence and pull out a bamboo stick, which
he broke in pieces, but he threw all the
pieces away. This he repeated till he Sc.
cured a piece that suited him. This he
passed under bis armpit and began to
scratch. Down fell a great elephant leach,
six inches long, which without a scraper
could not have been dislodged. The
writer adds that this custom is an estab.
lishod one among elephants. They will
also break oil bushes, strip trees nearly
down and use them to whip away flies

A Pitched Battle Between Police
and Polish Catholics at Detroit.

4 anu FOllSIl NdLtlOllCS OF CSLIOIIS
DETROIT. Mich, Dec. l-For some
time past there has been trouble in st.
Albert's Polish Catholic church in this
city. Serious charges have been made
against the priest, Father Kolaslnski.
Sunday Bishop Borgess. sent for the
books Of the church, which were re.
fused, Father KolasinSki ~endeavoring
to get his congregation to sign "a
paper expressing their confidence
LIP him. This move preclpitated
IGrouble, and it was necessary TO call in
the police to keep the peace. This
morning the trouble eliminated in a
pitched battle between "A squad of
police and several hundred women Of
the congregation. Yesterday Father
Kolasinski turned over the books Of
the church, having been deposed by
the bishop. Fathers Jaworski and
Dombrowski were put in temporary
charge. Police Captain Mack this morn-
ing took a dozen policemen to the
church to prevent disturbances.
Father J@worski attempted to hold
early mass this morning, but the con-
gregation elected him from the church,
locking the doors after him. On their
arrival the police were assailed, and
one arrest was made. The crowd was
ordered to dispense, but refused to
move unless the police preceded
them. The police theTeupon
charged upon the throng. The wo.
men fought desperately, using um.
Drellas and fists vigorously, Sob8 and
shouts mingled. While some fought,
others knelt on the steps and prayed.
After a hard fight of twenty minutes
police were victorious.

Kellogg the other day, in which she de.

now journeying through the northwest,
and in all her travels, in Europe or
America. she a y she has never had so
interesting n time. There is nothing very
exciting or romantic about the ordinary
thriving western town, but the mining
towns where Miss kellogg has been sing
ing Of late have given her the most pict.
uresQuc episodes Of her professional
career.
She has ira veied all through the Vel
lowstOne region, where she saws she failed
to find the brilliant hues Thomas Moran
gets in his water-colors. Going through
this country she rode in stages, and usu-
ally occupied the seat with the driver.
These drivers she describes as veritable
characters out of Bret Harte's stories.
They were full of anecdote, and kept her
entertained with their adventures and ex-
periences all along the route.
At Mammoth hot springs she gave a
concert on Sunday night at $50 o clock.
AhiS lbbC hOuI was w JdCCulhLIlOudtC
people from u Of town, from 100 10 100
miles away, who came to hear the sing
ing. for music of the sort Miss Kellogg
and her company gave them is scarce in
that part Of the country. Some Of the
parties carried tents and provisions and
camped out along the way. After the
concert there was a ball, which did not
begin until after 10 o'clock midnight,
which made it Sunday morning.
Miss kellogg says that she stayed to
the dance, and not only stayed, but took
part in it. going through the figures of the
virginia reel aud Il quadril.e with a cow
boy for a partner. An old ranchman
called of the figures. Every varietJ of
frontier costume was seen in the dance
red shirts, hickory shirts, leather shoot
ing coats, top boots and moccasins, all
making a striking background to the
prima donna s concert dress.
1t was a strange mingling of Paris and
Yellowstone fashions. The natives them
selves did not enjoy the fun one whit
more than did Miss Kellogg; indeed, not
as much, for it was a new and interesting
experience to her, while to them it was
al old, old story.
