A physician who has for six months tested Dr. Jager's plan of wearing nothing but wool, day and night, writes as follows to the Lancet: The result has been complete im- munity from colds and a very marked in- crease in my capacity for work. I have not put on great coat night or day, have slept with an open window in my bedroom and have been able to enjoy the luxury of an open cab instead of close brougham. h. stead of alternating feelings of heat and cold, there has been a uniform and most agreeable glow of warmth. I have, without any alter ation of diet or regimen, lost 7pounds in weight and (which will, I believe, tax the credulity of some) have witnessed the disap- pearance of lipoma of the nape of the neck, which had existed for some years, and had suggested the necessity for an operation These latter facts powerfully illustrate the truth of Dr. Jagers contention that the com plete and continuous action of the skin drains the organism of water and superfuous fat. I of perfect health is not the least of the rec concentrations to adopt the system. I may mention that of the many who have, more or less, fully addicted themselves to it from my example or advice, have net known one who has been disappointed. Lastly, would add a word on the need there is, if the full benefit to be derived is wished for, that noth- ing but pure wool should enter either into dress or bedding

pKRFoRmANCE.

Little Maxwell, who is being tried in St. Louis on the charge of murdering his friend Preller, is disgusted with the evil dence given against him by Detective Nc Cullough, and he is reported as saying: 'I wonder if the jury could believe man who would commit crime that he might get into jail and try to induce a man under such charge as I am to tell something that might convict him. Why, in England such fel- low would never be allowed to testify, and the officers of court there who were parties to such an attempt would be themselves pun ished."
 Others besides Maxwell are not at all cer- tain that the performance above referred to was entirely proper. Detective. Mccullough testified that, acting under the direction of a detective named Furlong, he forged check, in the name of the treasurer of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company. and presented it for payment at bank. The forgery being detected by the teller, Mccullough was ar rested by Furlong, who appeared at the right moment, and subsequently, he was taken be- fore the grand jury. The person whose name was forged and other witnesses being heard, an indictment was found against him, and afterward he was brought before a judge. He pleaded not guilty, and, being remanded to jail for trial, he was placed in cell next to that occupied by Maxwell, and there ob tained, as he says, a confession that Maxwell murdered PrelIer. Thus crime was com mitted for the sake of entrapping criminal. and apparently, too, committed with the conniyance of the district attorney. This is carrying detective work too far. The Boston Advertiser puts it about right when it says: All persons will agree that prosecuting off cers and detectives must hunt their game according to law. The motives for victory and the temptations to foul play are great enough already. In fact they are 80 great that the evidence of detectives is looked upon with some suspicion, and if grand jurors and judges cannot rely upon the integrity of dis trict attorneys, who are sworn officers of the court, the cause of justice will go backward some centuries.

HENRY w. JAEHNE.
The New York Alderman Convicted and Sent to State Prison for Receive ing Rrib0.

The New York Alderman Convicted
 and Sent to State Prison for ReceIv-
 ing a Rr1be.
 Henry W. Jaehne, now engaged in starch ing shirts at Sing Sing, wearing the striped garb of the convict, was a great man in New York only few weeks ago. He was alder man when convicted of the crime for which he has been sentenced to nine years and ten months imprisonment, and had been vice president of the Common Council of New York and 8 leader in that at one time indu- ential body of politicians, the County De- mocracy. On August 30, 1884, Jaehne was one of the eighteen city fathers who voted in favor of Jacob Sharp's project to construct a surface railroad on Broadway. At the time it was suspected that the vote was corruptly influenced. Of the aldermen already indict- ed on the charge of receiving bribe in con- sideration of voting for the scheme, Jaehne is the only one who has been tried. His conviction was mainly due to his alleged confession, made to police inspector, that he received twenty thousand dollars for his vote. The terrible disgrace and punishment he is receiving are the retributive eonsequen- ces of his corrupt abuse of public trust.
 Jaehne is thirtysix years old. He was DOEu III SoW 1OIh, tuo SoA OI u 0SFIndu ne chanic who landed in the new world in the year 1886. After receiving an ordinary edu- cation he was apprenticed to a. jeweler and learned the business. He became partner with his brother, who was subsequently drowned. Jaehne then became possessed of the business and in due time married the widow Four children of the household from which he has been judiciaily taken are his brothers.
 In 1881 Jaehne was elected member of the general committee. Tammany Hall. He did not continue in the celebrated organization indicated long, and in 1883 was elected al derman a candidate of the County Democ racy. During the period of his greatness a municipal Statesman he was distin guished for the uniformity which which ht voted in favor of conferring valuable fran chises upon corporations ,oeo,o Jaehne was a man of bad character before a: he got into trouble for the abuse or ms on ciai position.

 Sam Jones is ''down on' base ball. He puts the matter thus: eff had dog and he went to look at game of base ball sn Sun- day, and ever got back into my yard, I'd fill him full of shot, and, if he went Wednesday, I'd give him one hundred lashes. There is nothing more corrupt this side of hell than base ball. How many hundreds are there who bet on it, and how many boys flch from their employers to get the money to do ita I believe base ball is as corrupt as perdition.' Sam must have been ''muffer" when he was young, or he wouldn't be so savage against base ball played on Wednesday.
 The farms of America equal the entire ter ritory of the United Kingdom, France, Bel gium, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Por- tugal. The corn fields equal the extent of England, Scotland and Belgium, while the grain fields generally would overlap Spain The cotton fields cover an area larger than Holland and twice as large as Belgium. The rice fields, sugar and tobacco plantations would also form kingdoms of no insignif- cant size, and such is the stage of advance ment reached by American agriculturists that it is estimated that one farmer like MT. Dalrymple, with field of wheat covering a hundred square miles, can raise as much grain with 400 farm servants as 5000 peas ant proprietors in France. All of which in- dicates that this is great, glorious and free country.
 The Brooklyn bridge has been in use three years, but it has not yet done what it's pro- iectors thought and said it would. The elder Roebling based his conclusions in 1867 on the statement of the Union Ferry company that they were then transporting forty mil lions of people annually across the East riv- CT, and he thought it within the mark to es- innate that in ten years from that time the travel would reach eighty million year. eff the proposed bridge shall possess ca pacity of forty millions annually, these forty millions will be there as sure as the bridge Is built," were the words of Roebling. The record of the first three years of the bridge shows total of only forty-fve millions Of passengers, but nearly half of these were carried in the third year of it's history.
