A Poisoned Mans Race for Doctor.

FROM me 81. LOUIS GBObe- Democrat.
Mr. f. L. Dover, a farmer residing about
miles southwest of Helena, Ark, took dose of
morphine, thinking at the time that 1t was
qunlne. He did not discover his mistake
until the deadly drug began to be absorbed
into his system and his horror was increased
when he realized that he would have to ride
three miles on slow mule before medical as
sistance could be received.
1t was only a few moments after the discOv-
erv had been made that he was on his mule
and madly riding toward town, and every
minute the terrible drug throwing its mcshes
around him and benumbng his senses. With
IN a half mile of town he WAS unable TO use
his arms to whip the mule, when reduced its
pace to a slow walk. Mr.. Dover, riding
through the streets apparently unconcerned,
did not attract any attention. He managed
to get to the store of Mr.. T. W. Reese, Jr., and
informed him OF his condition.
Medical aid was Immediately summoned,
and every antidote known to the profession
was applied, and he is now in fair way Of
recovery. The gentleman's recovery is a
wonder and surprise even to the physician IN
attendance, for Mr.. Dover took over four
grains of morphine. which remained in his
stomach fully two hours before antidotes were

One OF the ablest men on the Repubh-
can side of the Senate is Mr.. Sherman, of
ONO. lie is thought to be particularly
well qualified TO speak on matters relat-
ing to national finances. In an interview
lately on the silver question he said that
1t would require nice management on the
part Of the Secretary Of the Treasury to
avoid trouble with regard to silver. He
thinks that there is q chance that, before
Congress- meets, the business of the coun-
try will be done on a silver basis.
He is by no means confident that Con-
gress will repeal the silver coinage act;
in fact, he is opposed to the repeal Of that
act. His idea is that the amount Of silver
in the silver dollar should be increased
until it is worth as much as the gold
dollar. In other words, he would put AS
grains OF silver in the silver dollar, in
stead Of 4i2L5.
or course, if Mr.. Sherman's plan were
adopted, all the silver dollars at present
coined would have to be recoined; other
wise they would command only their
actual value. 1t would take several
years to recoin them, and for that period
there would be virtual suspension Of
silver coinage. But would Mr.. Sherman's
plan remedy the evil apprehended? 1t
the annual production of silver continues
to be as great as it is at present, would
not even a dollar of AS grains finally be-
come worth less than gold dollar?
Mr.. sherman says, very truly. that he
does not believe in Withdrawing from cir
cuaton the one and two dollar bills for
the reason that nothing would help 80
much to discredit silver in the eyes of the
people as to force 1t upon them. If the
people knew they couldn't get anything
but silver they wouldn't take it so will
lingly as they do now, and it would find
its way back to the Treasury much more
quickly than it now does.
The silver question will claim large
share Of the attention of Congress next
winter. There are reasons for thinking
that the prospect that the silver coinage
act will be repealed is much more prOmis-
ing than was the prospect that Mr.. Ran
dalPs motion last winter giving the Sec
reJary Of the Treasury power to suspend
the act would be adopted. Against MIR.
RandalPs motion were 7S Southern Demo-
cratic votes. Since that vote was taken
southern Congressman have heard from
their constituents. They know now that
the South isn't so anxious for the silver
dollar as they thought it was. The At
lanta commercial convention was against
it, and the national cotton convention
was against it, and it is probable that any
convention that might be called In the
South would be against it.

Ocean Mail Service.

The Attorney General IN aintains bold
front in his controversy with the steam
ship companies with regard to the distri-
button Of the 100000 appropriated by
Congress for the transportation OF mails
in American steamships.
1t seems that he has been notified by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company that
it will not continue to carry the Austria
liam mails after Oct. l, the date of the ex-
piratiOn of its contract. He says that he
can get the Australian mails carried fast
er for less money than the Post Office De-
partment is now paying, and, hence,
doesn't care what the course in the matter
the Pacific Steamship Company may be.
There are seven American steamshi .
lines that carry ocean mails, and
they seemed determined 10 COM
pei the Postmaster General to COM
ply with their terms. The Postmaster
General some time ago determined
that in distributing the 100000 appropri-
alton he would not adopt the mileage sys-
TEN but would adhere to the contract sys-
tenn, which appears to have been satisfac-
tory to all. He decided, however, that he
would not distribute the subsidy until
Congress had acted further with regard
to it. That decision was very unsatisfac-
tory to the steamship companies, and
they at once intimated that they would
cease to carry the mails on Aug. 1. The
Postmaster General said that he did not
care if they did, because he had perfected
arrangements for continuing the service.
That seemed to cause them to halt in their
course, and little more seems to have been
heard from them until day or two ago,
when the Pacific Steamship Company an
nounced its purpose TO cease carrying the
Australian mail on Oct. /. 1t is probable
that all the companies will continue to
carry the mails, and wait for the S400, 600
until the Postmaster General gets ready
to distribute it.

price of the place wss flG.000. Walton
bought 1t and then went to Archer and SAID:

opposing horse. At daybreak on the race day
there was a regular heat between the two,

Miss Senior z. smith.


A novel experiment has been successfully
performed by the professor of chemistry and
his assistant at Smiths College. with the CO.
operation OF the eleven accomplished Young
ladies who form the senior class in physics.
As matter of psychological curiosity, it was
determined to produce, as nearly as possible,
the portrait of the typical girl Of culture. The
process employed was based upon Francis
Cations experiments in photography. The
camera was arranged and the eleven sitters
quickly took their places before IT. each one
only occupying a second on two. The sitters
so posed that their eyes exactly correspondeG
with two points marke on the camera, so that
each face occupied precisely the same position
on the negative. The girl with the most
regular features was taken FIRST, and in the
end there was develODed a photograph show
ing the features common 10 all the sltters but
exactly resembling none OF them. The result
obtained was remarkable. The mystery of
the camera is undeuiaby beautiful. With
high brow, sOftened by fuzzy waves OF hair,
deep-eyed, with refined features and earnest
expression. she Is n young woman Of dignity
and sweetness. TObc sure. she has a tendency
toward double chin, but the lines of her
cOuntenance are noble, and her head Is evenly
developed. The senior class at Smiths
College has named its new sister "Miss Senior
7. smith," The indicating physics. and
VIII place her mystic photograph in their
album among the class photographs Of bright
and thoroughly alive graduates.
