OK last Thursday Mr.. Coleman Ney, of
Bellaire, was killed by B. Il q. engine at
Baltimore, Nd, while walking on the
track. Mr.. Ney was fOrty-fve years of
age, and leaves wife and eight children.
He was a member of the Catholic Church
and a much-respected citizen wherever
known. He was not cut to pieces as
stated by several newspapers, but sustained
only fracture of the skull and broken
leg. The remains We're inferred in the
cemetery at Bellaire on Sunday last
Thy gentle voice for aye IS hushed,
Thy warm true heart is still,
And on thy Careworn brnw
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands we've crossed upon thy breast,
We've kissed thy icy brow,
And in our aching hearts we feel
We have no father now. VI. y.

When We DemoraII1e the stomach


By excuses of imprudence in eating we cannot
hope TO escape the consequences for any grea:
length Of time. The most robust digestion must
succumb to abuses Of that important function.
But suppOsing that we have been foolish enough
to enfeeble the stomach, is the damage irrepara.
bic? BY no means The dyspeptic has only to
do two things TO insure his ultimate recovery.
First, he should adopt an easy digestibie diet
Second, he should use with regularity and persist
ence HosteTter's Stomach Bitters, the leading
gastric invigorant of the age. The multiform
symptoms Of dyspepsia, and the almost inyaria-
bly, attendant disorders, piliousneSs and con-
stipation, viii aSSuredly cease TO prosecute the
sufferer If the above advice Is attended to. Who
that has suffered the torments that chronic indi-
geStion inficts viii neglect TO take advantage of
remedy which, II the most positive evidence
Of the medical profession and the public Is 10 be
received with due credence, is an absolute spe.
cifie for the complaint.

Postal savings Bank.

It is generally agreed that a system
OF savings institutions that would be
easily accessible to the people through
out the country, give them absolute
security for their small savings, and
repay deposits at short notice, would.
even if the rate Of interest were very
low, be great convenience to many
people in every community, and a
great encouragement to economy and
thrift among working-men and people
of small incomes. There are many
who think that postal savings banks
successful operation in Europe and in
the British colonies for 4 number of
years would furnish just the sort OF
facilities for saving that are needed in
this country. Many Americans know
something of the working of the pos
tai savings banks in England. where
they have been in operation since 1861
There are now upward of $500 OF
the post-otiices in the United Kingdom
open, commonly from nine in the
morning until six, and on Saturday
until nine, in the evening, for the re-
ceipt and repaymant OF deposits. One
shilling IS the smallest sum tha: can be
deposited. ! he Government has, how
ever, recently issued blank forms with
spaces for twelve penny postage
stamps, and will receive one Of these
| forms with twelve stamps affixed as a
deposit. This plan was suggested by
the desire to encourage habits Of saw
ing among children, and by the sue
cess of penny banks IN connection
with schools and mechanics Institutes

Thirty years ago Albert Smiths
lecture, Ascent of Mont Blanc" was
the delight of London audiences. It
was a novel combination Of lecture
and panorama, and drew" for several
hundred nights.
Smith, the Snowman and lecturer,
was quaint. genial, literary Bohemi-
an. who told story well, cracked
joke, and made his audience wish that
the entertainment was twice as long
as it was. Mr.. Barnum once said that
to write a show bill was a work of
genius. Smith had genius for adver-
tising. Even the most prosaic of con-
servatiyes would stop to read Smiths
advertising placard.
When he started on the European
tour which eliminated in the ascent
of Mont Blanc he had, as one Of his
band. an amiahle gentleman named
Joseph Langford. Smith caused sew
eral thousand show bills to be printed,
with the strange Words
Who cut Joe Langfords haiI?'
One morning in Baden Baden, then
the great gambling and watering place
Of Europe, every one was surprised to
see posts, columns, walls, and tree
trunks covered with placards asking
the portentous question, WHO cut
Joe Langfords hair?'
| The Baden police were stirred to an
unusual activity. Feeling sure that
| the mysterious words were signal
! for the rallying of the revolutionary
party, they searched printing offices
] and visited houses to discover when
and where the rally would take place.
! Spies were sent out. guards placed
in public buildings; and even learned
/ philologists were asked if these awful
words, "Who cut Joe Langfords hair?"
had any connection with the system
of Republicanism.
Smith gave no entertainment at
Baden Baden, but the quaint joke
leaked out and advertised him and
his show all over the country.

To Stop P1euro-Pneumonia.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 81
The Bureau of Agriculture is actively
engaged in deVising and putting in
operation measures looking to the ex-
tirpation of pleuro-pneumonia, and
Commissioner Coleman has resolved to
adopt every legitimate means in his
power to check the outbreak o. the dis
ease reported from Chicago. Commits
siOner Coleman says that people mus
be crazy to think the department will
permit any o, these cattle to be sold /;
we have guaranteed them, doubled
our forces on Saturday ana are now go
ing to send some of the most expert
veterinarians we have, SO as 10 stamp
out the Gisea at once, and do every
thing that the department can legiti-
mately do. We did not gefthrough Con
gress the bill we expected 10 pass on the
subject, SO we can only second the efforts
OF State authoriC es, and assist in carry
ing out the State laws. ULder existing
laws we can Ony stamp out the dis
ease in the State with the permission Of
the local authorities. Sometimes the
Governor of State will not consent 70
feCeral Interference, so we can rOnly
second their efforts. The commissioner
has drawn UP and forwarded to the gov
errors of all the States and Territories a
series of rules and regulations for CO
operation between the United States
Department of Agriculture and the au-.
thoriies of every State and Territory
for the suppression and extirpation of
contagious leuro-pneumonia, and if
they received the consent of the State
authorities, the bureau will make a
systematic and determined attempt to
stamp out the disease by an attack.
simulta eously, IN every infected dis
trict The circular recites the provisions
of the law, laying particular stress on
the section which makes it requisite for
action b the department to first secure
the consent of the State authorities and
then lays down rules and regulations
which are deemed necessary to insure
results commensurate with the money
100000 authorized to be expended.

A Bout With Brigands.

DENVER, September ga Deming,
New Mexico, special says that Friday
evening at dusk two armed men held
up the Santa Fe railway station at Mutt,
and robbed Agent A. D. Farmer of all
money on hand. They then compelled
Farmer to accompany them a quarter
of mile out of town. He returned

organized to capture them. The party
overlook them a mile from town and
when within twenty PAGES the robbers
fired on them, WoUading Henry Har-
vey IN the thigh, the ball SCATTERING the
bone and making dangerous wound.
The rest OF the party returned to NUT
and information was telegraphed to
Deming. A special train left here at
$50 with twenty men. Having no
horses they could do nothing, so they
lett two of the party to follow the trail
1T daybreak and the others returned,
bringing the wounded man to Deming.
Harvey leg was amputated on Satur-
day morning, but ne sank under the
shock and died at pm, and was
buried here to-day, Word was received

edge their crimes. The prisoners were
taken 10 Silver City by special train TO
prevent lynchi1g.
