WE RAVE received from the author, Mr..
Edmund Flagg, now of Falls Church, copy
of his latest work, Do Molai, some of the
others being The Prime Minister, The Far
West, Francis of Valois, The Howard Queen,
and Venice. Ds Mo!ai is history of the
rise and fall of the order of Knights Temp
lar, as a military organization, rendered
more attractive to certain people by roman
tic imagining7 of some of the intrigues of
the court of Philip the Fourth of France,
the influence of which monarch upon Pope
Clement caused the destruction of the most
powerful secret organiz Ition that ever ex'
listed. 1t is book that is instructive as
we'll as interesting to the general reader,
and one which it is supposed every kpig ht
templar will read when he hears it has
been published.

PRHsIDENT-EL Harrison, in his letter

with us upon these questions would ACT
with Us, some other questions that give you
local concern would settle themselves.
This is decidedly oracuiar. 1t may be IN
terpreted in various ways, but all to the
same purpose. II may mean that Mr.. Har-
rison will endeavor to enforce the repuoh
can policy OF Mr. Wise and Mr.. Gable, that
there shall be negro supremacy in all Dom.

proes have mej )rity Vi the voters. O7 1t
,oAy meen that Mr. Harrison will leave the
race question to settle ITSELF" II those pc
litical anomalies, Southern democratic pro

thereby so weaken the white vote in the
Southern States as to do the same thing
turn those States over to he control OF lg-
norant and vicious negroes, and, in addition
prolong republican rule in nationnl affairs.
Mr.. Harrison should be more explicit.

YOUNG LADY OF ELECTRICTAL DIS,
TURBANCES

There is living in Cleveland, o., lady
ifflIcted with peculiar malady which
las puzzled and batfled the entire frater-
lity of this section of the country.
Herself the sister of wellknown ply
cian, she has been unable to obtain
my relief, and has turned 10 despair
rom one form Of treatment to another
without avail Some years ago, VIXEN a
yuung girl, the house in which she was
stopping at ths time was struck by
lightning. All Of the inmates were
stunned, and more or less seriously in
iured. This young lady suffered more
severely than the other victims. The
shock completely paralyzed hoth her or
gans of speech and motion, and she lay
for two days in most precarlous condi-
tion. Recovery, although slow, was
apparently complete, however, and in
few weeks the effect of the stroke had
entirely passed away. Says the Pitts.

One day she felt the dreaded symp-
tioms of paralysis stealing over her,
and before assistance could be summon
I'd the unfortunate woman again pros
trated, speechless, and unable to move
a muscle Of her oody. 1t was noticed
at the time that heavy thunderstorm
was brewing, and that the air was over
charged W th cleo trio ty. when the
storm was over the patient rapidly
recovered, and the next day was as well
as ever, save the nervous shock attend
ing the relapse.
The next thunder storm brought with
it the same alarming state of affairs,
and again was the young woman paral-
lied, recovering only when the atmos-
phere waa cleared of its overcharge OF
electricity. The fact that the victims
system, rendered sensitive to electrical
changes by the frlghtful sho k it re-
ceivel when she was struck by lightning
was now susceptible to the slightest
presence of the subtle fluid. was
apparent and medical science was called
into requisitiou to effect a cure. All
remedies proved ineffective, and with
every recurring thunder storm the un-
fortunate woman relapses into state OF
partial or complete paralysis, according
to the severity OF the storm. Her h alth
has, OF course, suffered from the con-
slant strain put upon her both physic-
ally and mentally, but there appears to
be no relief for the malady, if it can be
