APLAIN VERDICT.
All that Can be Said as to the
Chester Casualty.

SAN Francisco, September 4.-The
inquiry into the cause of the Oceanic and
City of Chester casualty was conclude
to-day, SO far as the Coroner's inquest is
concerned. The jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict. The deceased, Annie G..
Heney, native of st. Johns, N. B., aged
56 years, and others came to their death
on August %, 1888, by means of submer-
sion in the waters OF the Bay of San
Francisco, the result of collision be-
tween the steamships Oceanic and City
OF Chester, and we further find it impos-
sible to place the blame on either vessel
on account of lack of expert evidence.

McAuliffe and Dacey Matched.

iHcAuAIIe an u OACey NdtChe0s
New York, September 4.-To-day the
hackers of Jack McAulife and Billy
Dacey met the principals to arrange a
match. McAuliffe was eager to ratify a
match to fight at 1873 pounds for 81 900,
objected to the fight coming off under
eight week. McAuliffe finally agreed
to fight in six weeks. Articles of agree
ment were then signed and $500 posted.
The protocol calls for the men to battle
in the last week in October, within 500
miles OF this city, for $1,000. the Police
Gazette diamond belt and light weight
championship Of America. The men are
to weigh 1873 pounds, place to be selected
by stake holder, twelve hours before en-
tering the ring. The final deposit is to
be posted in October, when the referee
is to be selected.

NOT ATHWART 1T,
The Gust Oms Line should be Put
Around the Continent.

ST. THOMAS, Ont, September AT
harvest home under the auspices of the
East Elgin Farmers Institute, at Port
Stanley to-day, Erastus Winan, of New
York, spoke in favor or closer comrnsr.
cial relations between the United States
and Canada. He said the fact that Cam
ada was part OF the British Empire en-
abled politicians bidding for the
Irish vote, to use the questions
involved for party purposes, but even
this was not an unmixed evil if it raised
the consideration of the question of the
relations of the two countries from indif.
ference to one of prime Importance.
Diplomacy had failed to settle the Fish
cry puzzle; retaliation would fail equally
to settle this dispute or readjust the
transportation question. The practical
plan is to unite the two countries com
mercially. This, it is claimed, can bs
done by exacting q uniform tariff, ane
instead Of having a customs line running
athwart the continent, it should be liftet
up and put around the continent.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the Inherent
strength of the body sutlices to en-
able it to oppose the tendency to-
ward death. Many however have
lost these forces to such al extent
that there is little or no help. In
other cases little aid to the weak
ened Lungs will make all the differ
ence between sudden death and
many years Of useful life. Upon
the first symptom of Cough, Cold
or any trouble Of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well-known
remedy-Boschee,s German Syrup,
a careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the ''bene-
factor of any home. in l5-eow.

Unfermented Grape Juice.

All Juices of ripe fruit contain
yeast or fermenting principle that
in an hour or TWO, at warm tenn
perature, will excite whole cask TO
active fermentation. Mr.. Speer has
made special study to neutralize
this principle in the juice as it
runs from the press without adding
any substance whatever. In his
experiments he finally discovered a
process of fumigation together with
passing an electric current through
it for some days, which although
destroying the fermenting principal
did not change the character of the
Juice. For sale by Aisquith d Co.

digging well in city yard that
opened into near privy vault. .
A pile OF garbage, refuse from the
table, lies unnoticed near a window
until it decays and sends death in
every direction. A sewer trap re-
fuses to work in the cellar and every
one sleeps in an atmosphere polluted
with sewer gas that is more deadly
because it is colorless and cannot be
smelled or the germ is carried miles
from putrefying carcass until it
finds congenial soil ,whereit straight
way al;ghts and sets to work. Any
one of these causes seems competent
to produce diptheria; but it must be
remembered that no poison can kill
unless it finds a fit subject. So, out
of a family one may be taken and
the other left-because one is strong
and can resist what the weaker sue
cumbs to.
What can be done to escape this
scourge. Much. 1t is the duty Of
every one TO preserve the house in
which he lives in good repair, so
that when storms come it may rot
fall. The system should be main
tanned in high condition during
these trying months of cold and wet
to come, by nourishing food, long
hours of sleep and careful avoidance
of every habit that weakens. Said
a man to me to-day: doctor, do you
think this eruption on my skin comes
from drink" "Yes," | answered,
''liquor would certainly cause it, and
if you expect TO get well You must
absolutely abandon drink in every
form" "Well, doctor l will try, but
God knows it will be hard job"
That is one thing that makes people
liable to dip.heria-the poor blood
and weak nerves that come from
drink. Let it alone.
Finally, having done your part
keep up brave heart and do not fear.
People say that doctors do not con-
tract disease, which is not strictly
true, for they have their share. But
they exercise every precaution that
experience teaches-just the ones |
have been giving you here for exam
ple-and usually get clear of uonta-
gion. So may yon every one-or at
all events place yourself on a level
with doctors in this respect, if you
will follow this earnest advice.
Should sore throat come, should
even spots appear upon it, do not be
alarmed. Remember that true dip
liberia never commences thus; that
there is considerable time Of sick
ness before these spots come in the
throat at all, and that the chances
are fifty to one that the case is one
of quinsy or catarrhal throat. For
the latter good gargle is made Of:
Common salt, one tablespoonful.
Cider vinegar, one.half teacupful.
To be used hot.
Bind red flannel strip around
the neck and keep it there until all
soreness is gone.

HAsIrUAL FoRGETFULNEss
Est. Lonis Globe pemoerat.


A great many people are troubled
with what NAV be called ''habitual
forgetfulness'' in regard to some OF
the minor points of daily life, mani
tested, perhaps, in their inabllitylto
recall the names of those with whose
faces they are perfectly familiar, or
the number of their house or street
upon which they reside; while 9th
ers are seized at times with tenn
porary amnesic aphasia, scientifical-
ly speaking, upon endeavoring to
state some fact which they literally
have at the ''tongue's end" But it
is seldom the latter trouble is mani
tested in such a peculiar direction
as in a case which came under my
observation few days since. While
propounding the usual preliminary
questions to a woman who had pre-
sented her two-year-old daughter
for treatment, when l inquired the
name of the child she hesitated, and
then, to my surprise, she admitted
that she was unable to remember it
She then stated the child's age and
the number of her residence correct
w, but could not recall that name
until, after the lapse of several min
utes, in endeavoring to soothe the
child, the name sprang naturally to
her lips. This mothers forgetful'
ness upon such a matter as the name
of her own child is as astonishing
as the absence of mind exhibited
by a prominent physician Of this
city, who, upon meeting his OWL
daughter on the street, politely in
quired after the health of both her
self and her parents.

DIPTHERIA.
Symptoms and Causes of the Dreaded
Contagious Disease.

Symptoms and Causes of the Dreaded
Contagious Disease.
For week or ten days before Sc
rious illness declares itself to be dip
liberia, the patient has been languid
ard what our grandmothers used to
call "douncy," says physician in
the Providence Telegram. His head
aches q little, chiefly in the morning,
his back and legs are so tired that
they ache, too, with occasional sharp
er pains going deep to the bone.
Appetite is gone and sleep uneasy.
About the fourth day feverish state
begins, which slowly increases, until
one morning there is a sore throat
Not an ordinary one, that only hurts
to swallow something, but one that
gives pain on pressure, and aches
even when it is not touched. Look
in that throat now. Press down the
tongue with q tablespoon handle, so
that, with strong light, not only
the tonsils, those sentinels on either
side of the entrance to the windpipe,
can be seen, but the soft palate and
back of the throat. Showing in
tensely red, dark scarlet color in
deed, lies the inhamed mucus mem
brane, and scattered upon it,so thick
here that they are patches, and there
clearly separated by fiery red. are
grayish white spots. OF all sizes
from wheat grains to navy beans,
they present the certain signals that
diptheria is on hand.
Now comes the danger to others
There is no disease known more GER
tainly and rapidly contagious than
this, with the additional evil that
from light case may be contracted
the most malignant type known. and
utmost caution should be observed.
The sufferer must be promptly isola-
ted, notice sent by the doctor to au-
thorities and plentiful supply of
disinfectants laid in. No one should
enter the sick room upon an empty
stomach, nor remain there longer
than absolutely needful. Keep away
from the sick ones head, and if
forced to go near hold the breath
until again at distance. Stand in q
draft for some minutes so that cloth
ing may be we'll aired, and if the
disease be not contracted anyway be
thankful
Gradually these spots enlarge I'M
til they grow together and the patch
es become a sheet of membrane, eX-
tending from where the tongue ends
to any point in the bronchial tubes
that can be seen, which grows of q
dirty ash color and begins to clog
respiration. Torn forcibly off, the
bleeding surface beneath sets to
work and promptly replaces it.
Fever increases, food is taken with
the utmost difficulty, exhaustion
comes on, sapping vital force with
lightning speed, until death comes
to close the scene by suffocation or
sheer wear-out, and friends may well
be content if the destroyer stops
with a single victim. What is the
cause of this disease? Probably it
is due to specific poison, as malig
nant diseases are known to be; but
it is essentially the child of filth and
can be traced in every case to some
such source. Three of the most sud
den deaths / ever saw came from

Plain, straightforward morality
and everyday righteousness are
better than all emotion and dogma
tism and all churchism, says the
world, and Christianity says much
the same thing; but plain, straight
forward righteousness and every
day morality come more surely when
man is keeping close to Christ.
