Diet and Dyspepsi.s.


WHAT LEARNED PHYSICIANS SAY ABOUT
LATE SUPPERS.
From All The Year Round.
Most authorities are of opinion that cheese il
indi. estible, yet even on this point doctors can
not agree. A distinguished French chemist has
suggested that. to render cheese digestible, a
quarter of an ounce of potash should be added
to every pound OF cheese; while German
chemist has experimental upon several kinds
of food-such AS cheese, meat, milk and eggs
and he boldly declares that cheese il no more
indigestible than meat and many other articles
OF diet. Suppers are usually condemned. Some
doctors assert that suppers are not only un-
necessary but positively harmful; that sound
sleep cannot be obtained after them, and that
three meals dag are sufficient. On the other
hand, others are OF opinion that a light supper
is necessary to procure sound sleep. After a
meal, they say, blood Is drawn toward the
stomach To supply the juices needed In diges.

DENYING THE STATEMENT.
Circular Issu.d by the AtchisOn Topeka
h Santa Fe Railroad.

BosroN, January 9.-The Finance Com
mittee of the Atchison, Topeka q Santa
Fe Railroad Company has issued the FOL
lowing circular to the stockholders con-
corning the statement made public through
the press that q suit had been begun in
Kansas in which a receiver OF the Dad is
applied for, as well as an Injunction against
the payment of the dividend just declared.
1.-THE basis of the suit is alleged to be the
validity of the stock issued. TIL dividend
in 1881 on the stock, alleged to be invalid,
was issued after careful consideration, rep
resenting the actual assets OF the company,
and WAS distributed among the ~stockhold-
ers. Legal advice of the highest authority
assert that the stock was reserved by all
the stockholders of the company, and has
for nearly five years been held and enjoyed
by them and their representatives. No
stockholder can be in a position t. contest
the validity of the action of which he is
to-day enjoying the fruits. The statute OF
Kansas of 1888 expressly declared that all
certificates of stock heretofore issued by
any Kansas railroad corporation h be
binding as against the company, unless ac-
ton be brought to anru! the same within
d year from March 1, 1883. The animus
of the suit may be measured from the
time chosen to bring it upon theeve o fpay-
ment ofthe dividends and at the moment
when the company is Offering to it's stock
holders subscription rights of great value.
1t may also be inferred from the fact that
the suit is believed to be prompted by the
same party or parties who recently insti-
tuted a suit to prevent payments of the
sonora interests. The plaintiff in the suit
held 200 shares OF stock, had acquired
shares in November last, and consequently
was and ia stOnned from calling in uues-
ton any action Of the company prior to
his purchase. This statement, it is be-
Iieved, fully characteriaes the proceedings
just instituted in Kansas, and shows that
whether the object be to affect the stock
market, or whatever it be, no injury to the
interest of the company need be appre-
hended,"

CINCINNATI. January 10. - Mr.. Charles
Whitehead. Special United States Examin-
er of Pensions. is the happiest man in Gin
cinnati. For the first time in two years he
has sat by his fireside with his three chill
dren about him. Two years ago while he
was employed at San Francisco, his wife,
who came from a well known family at
Toledo, Ohio, suddenly left him. taking
with her their two children and $4,000 OF
his money, which he had deposited in bank
in bank in her name.
Resigning his position, he started on q
long hunt for his children. Mrs. White
head was located at her former home in
Toledo, but detectives who were employed
in the case could find no trace of the miss

was o until a few months ago that he
obtained a clue to the whereabouts OF his
daughter. He then learned that she was
in a convent near Toledo. Steps were
at once taken to gain possession OF
her, and last night she arrived in this
city. OF his boy he received no informa-
ton until Wednesday,, when q letter came
announcing that the little fellow was in the
Home for Soldiers and Sailors Orphans at
Xenia, Ohio. He at once investigated the
matter, and it was not long before he
learned that Morrison or Maurice White
head was admitted to the home October
rs, 1885, having been sent by Mrs. Flor
ence Whitehead, whose application was
recommended by D.. w. Gibbs, an architect.
1t was stated that the father Of the child
was an in%ebriate, and on this the applica-
ton was granted.

AN OHIO GHOST STORY.
Experience Of a Young Man
With an Apparition.
Thrown FROM BED
At a Very Early Hour in the Morn
ing by Some Unseen Agen, y.
A Strange Coincidence.

CLEVELAND. O., January = 8
O'Clock last Friday morning Mrs. Emily
Frayne, a widow, of Hamilton. Ont, who
had come to Cleveland to visit her sister,
who resided in a block on Prospect street
died very suddenly. Frank Lamb, a fresc"
painter, aged 33, who occupies apartments
adjoining those in which Mrs. Frayne died
relates a remarkable story. He says:
Between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning
in question he was awakened by something.
and looking across the room he saw a lady
sitting ON a lounge about four feet from the
bed. What do you want?' he asked. Rals-
ing her right hand, the lady said: Hush.
hush!' and then she disappeared. Lamb
is q disbelieyer in ghosts. and he at once
made q search of the and examined
the lock of the door. He found
that the door was securely fastened. and
getting into bed, he lay for ten minutes
thinking about the strange occurrence.
Suddenly the clothing on his bed and the
tick were tunIbled off by some unseen
power, and he found himself OF the floor.
Being angry by this time, Lamb made
another search of the room without lind
ing anybody. He then opened the door,
and as he did so Mrs. Holden, sister ct
Mrs. Frayne, came from her room into the
hall saying: 'My sister is dead" Lamb
declares that he was not excited, and that
he was perfectly sober. He cannot &C
count for this strange occurrence. Other
people in the block who heard Lamb fall
also left their rooms and they c~orroborate
his story IA to the coincidence with Mrs:
Frayne's death. The coroner has decided
that the woman's death was caused by
heart disease.

THE BOLD
The Victim of the Attack SuStains In
iurieS of a Severe Nature.

Brief mention was made in yesterday
rob Goodwin Brown in the uicinity OF
Flske's restaurant, but the time at which
it occurred was so late that no particulars
could be obtained IN time for publication.
During the day, however, Mr.. Brown was
seen, and related the following details: The
gentleman went to his room, up stairs over
the store of j. D. Thomas, the entrance
being through the hallway between the
store and Fiske's restaurant, and upon en-
tering he noticed hat the light, which
usually burns in the hall at all hours ofthe
night, was not burning, and the
building was in darkness. Upon reach
ing the head OF the stairs Mr.. Brown
struck a match, and just inside the
door he was surprised to see two masked
men standing on the left-hand side of the
hall, one OF whom struck at him with a
slung-shot. or a similar weapon, but over
reached his mark, striking the victim be-
tween the shoulders, withoutdoing him any
injury. They Immediately jumped upon
and were proceeding to choke him
most numerically, when in some way all
hands slipped off the landing and went
down the stairs, Mr.. Brown being the I'M
der man all OF the time, and when they
reached the sidewalk they both jumped up
n walked over him. He sustained in
some manner a fracture of one of the
bones of the right and also was consider
ably bruised in other portions of his body,
but managed to hold to his valuable gold
watch and saved that. His injuries are
not OF a serious character, but he will be
laid up for some time until the broken
bone heals.
