bill pure and simple, has also had won
derful effect IN conCiliating all factions
and IL securing calm and fair cOnsidera-

plainly noticeable u reaction of the opinion
i'm favor Of the Liberal associations
throughout the county taking a definite
attitude IL support of tne premier's
proposals. Last night twelve Of these
associations at leading towns passed
resolutions heartily approving the bill.

wholly upon the result of the efforts which

that there seems no irrecOncilable barrier

support of the scheme.

State Senator Alpheus Beall McKaig, of
Allegany county, Md, died in Baltimore
Friday morning at an early hour, aged 80
years, of apop'exy after short illness.
He was taken sick on Tuesday of last
week, the symptoms at the outstart giving
no occasion for alarm. He arrived in
Baltimore the Monday before, on a visit
OF few days; Tuesday afternoon, about
2 o'clock, on returning to his sister in law s
house, he complained of feeling unwell,
and went to bed. His symptoms grew
worse, and on Wednesday physician was
summoned. The case was pronounced
dangerous, but the patient was somewhat
better Thursday morning. That afternoos
at three O'Clock be was attacked with con-
Vulsions, which las'ed an hour. From
this attack he never rallied, but grew con-
tinuously worse, and at one o'clock Friday
morning had another CONFUSION, which
ended in paralysis of the lower extremi-
ties. Two physicians were in attendance
At TINS Time. 1Dey gave stlmu anus ana
hypodermics, but he died at 4:25 o'clock,
having been unconscious for three hours.
Senator McKaig was popular member of
the State Senate during its recent session.
He made many friends at Annapoi is He
was not often on the floor, but when he
spoke he was listened to with attention.
He was chairman of the committee on mi
ltia. and he had much to do with shaping
the bill now a law for the organization of
an efficient Maryland national guard. He
was secoud on the education committee,
and he was also member OF the commit
tee on public institutions, on public
buildings at Annapolis, and on federal
relations. His death creates vacancy
which must be fillsd at the next general
election for members of the Legislature.

How Limit Affects the Blind.

An interesting account has lately been
furnished by NJ. Plateau, the eminent
Belgian physician who has been blind
nearly forty years. of the sensations he
experienced in his eyes. He has no sense
of objective light even when turning his
eyes to the sun. But his visual field is
Away divided into spaces, some of
which are pretty bright and others SOM
Der or nearly dark, and which merge into
each other. Their general tint alter
mates, in time, between gray and red
dish. The relative arrangement of these
different spaces is always the same, but
the intensity of their tints varies. The
central tint seems now rather bright,
now rather dark; above and below, and
ON the left to the limits of the field, there
is sometimes brightness, sometimes dark
ness, but on the right there is generally
a vertical band, nearly black, and be-
yond this space which is nearly always
bright and reddish. These appearances
follow all the movements of the eyes,
which probably do not participate in the
same way in the tints, but NJ. Plateau
cannot distinguish what belongs to the
other. No connection of the general
tint with the work of digestion is OBJ
served. The author states that he be-
came blind through looking fxedly at
the sun for some time, with view to
observing his after sensations; it was not
till about fourteen years after this that

NatIonaIItles In Congress.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Stats Zeitung writes thus
concerning the nationality of the mem
bers of the House of Representatives:
There are eighteen members who were
born abroad, seven of them being natives
of Ireland, namely: Davis and Collins
of Massachusetts,, O'Neill of Missouri,
Woodburn of Nevada, NcAdoo of New
Jersey. T. J. Campbell and Dowdney of
New York. Two were born in Scotland,
Henderson of Iowa and Farquhar of New
York; two in England, West and spriggs
of New York; two in Canada, Gallinger
of New Hampshire and Adams of New
York; three in Germany, Lehbach of New
Jersey, Gunther of Wisconsin, and Ro-
meis of Ohio; one in Luxembourg, Muller
of New York and one in Norway, Nelson
of Minnesota. To this number may be
added Game, the delegate of Utah Terri
tory, who is an Englishman by birth.
Aside from the Pennsylvania Germans,
Ermentrout, Sowden, Neglcy, Brumm,
Everhart, Storm, etc., all of whom
speak German more or less correctly
and fluently, there are to be men
toned among Representatives of Ger
man descent who have not neglected
that language only Belmont of New
York and Kleiner of Indiana. Her
mann OF Oregon, the son of German
physician, has almost completely forgot
ten his German. On the other hand,
there are quite number of non-German
Representatives who know German very
we'll. Henderson, of Iowa, speaks and
writes to his German constituents only
in that language; Adams, of Illinois,
having conquered the High German, is
now Ebusy with Uncle Brasig's Platt-
deutsch; Pettibone, of Tennessee, is a
great Schiller enthusiast, and recites
with great gusto ''The Distribution of
the Earth" he beinga poor poet himself.
Reed and Milliken, of Maine, are not
embarrassed if addressed in German; and
Grain, of Texas, La Folette, of Wiscon-
sin. O'Neill, of Missouri, Loutitt, of
California, Hit, of Illinois, LIE Fevre, of
Ohio, are far beyond the average vo-
cabulary of "Wie geht'sI" and "zwei
Bier" Moreover, if one considers that
among the Congressional employees there
are number of Germans, and that
among the correspondents of the English
papers there are several who speak and
write German, one may well say that
even if the Germans are not numerously
represented in Congress, the German
language decidedly is.

Canned Provisions.

"You ask me to state the effects Of
freezing upon canned fruits and vegeta-
bles, especially as regards the texture
and flavor of tomatoes, corn, etc. writes
Lieutenant Greedy to the american Grocer.
"Apples, peaches, pears, rhubarb, green
peas. green corn, onions, potatoes and
tomatoes were all subject to extreme
temperatures, over sixty degrees below
zero, and were solid for months at a
time. The second summer they thawcd,
the following winter froze solid again.
All the articles named presented the
same appearance as though freshly
canned, and their favor was as good
when the last can was eaten as in the
first month. 1t should be understood
that these were first-class canned goods
and from dealers of standing and relia-
bility. Cranberry sauce, preserved dam
sons. preserved peaches and fruit buffers
suffered certain changes from candying,
ETC., which detracted somewhat from
their flavor, though not materially SO.
Dealers in such preserves predicted that
such conditions and changes would
occur. l had also canned turnips,
squash, beets and carrots, as well as
pineapples, cherries, grapes, shrimps,
clans and crabs, which although not
subjected to such extreme temperature
as the foregoing yet froze and thawed
repeatedly without injury. No can of
any kind except a few, say half dozen
of fruit buffers, was ever burst by action
of cold or heat. No illness of any kind
occurred prior to our retreat, and those
most inclined to canned fruits and vege-
tables were the healthiest and strongest
of the party. have written thus fully
in answer to your letter from my convic-
ton that the excellent quality and variety
of canned provisions contributed materi'
ally to the unequaled health of my com
mand during the two years we passed in
unparalleled high latitude. The i'm
portance of good canned fruit and vege-
tables to parties unable to obtain the
fresh article cannot be over-rated, and
so sreak with no uncertain tone on the
subject"
