A Young Doctors shrewdness.

A young physician relates that, being
called upon to attend a patient who, he
knew, would expect to see an elderly and
dignifed gentleman instead of q person
of almost boyish appearance, he took
with him an assistant, having given him
instructions always to address him as
Doctor and to act toward hin, in the
most deferential way. This plan to win
his patients trust and respect succeeded
admirably, and was the means of in
creasing his field Of practice. --New York

New Kind Of Gunpowder.

At the Royal Powder factory of Wet.
teren, in Belgium, a new gunpowder is
being made. They call it poudre papier,
or paper powder; and it is said that a
charge of two and one-half grammes
Ghirty-nine grains) gives, in a rife Of
small cafiber, an initial velocity of ego
yards to the ball. This is equal to, if it
does not beat, the Lebel powder. The
additional advantages are attributed to it
of not smearing the barrel, Of producing
no smoke, and Of causing little recoil.-

FrettinS and Dyspepsia.

We all recognize the loss Of appetite
that follows anxiety or the sudden shock
of grief; but we are not sufficiently alive
to our own folly to trace the same in

dyspepsia. Yet it is as certain that we
tax our digestions every time we sit down

1yoodpeckers of California.

Curious woodpeckers are those in Cali
fornia. They will dig out hundreds OF
holes in the bark of pine tree, as round
and smooth as if bored by an auger, and
in every hole they will hammer an acorn,
big end out, and hammer it SO tightly
you can scarcely pull it out. Why they
do this no one knows. The woodpecker

Wealth.
NEW YoRK, Nov. s.-Was Martha
King, found dead on the secaucus Mead
ows, ian old tramp" as the police called
her, or was she woman Of wealth and
connected with one of the best families
OF Baltimore?
A fashionably dressed lady, accompa-
MED by her daughter, called at the Ho-
bOken morgue late Monday afternoon
and expressed wish to view the re-
mains Of the woman found on Ste Sc.
caucus Meadows They claimed Brook
lyn as place OF residence, and said that
from the description they had read they
were Of the belief that the woman was n j..
near relative OF theirs, who had been
missing for several months.
On closely examining the remains,
and discovering an old scar several
inches in length on the forehead, tho
well dressed woman said that there was
hardly any doubt as to her being rela.
tive who disappeared mysteriously from
Baltimore. When she left home she
bad deeds to several pieces OF property
and q number OF other valuable papers
sewed up securely in quilted under
garment. No underskirt Of the descrip-
tion given was found on the corpse, and
this led to new srsplcion that there
was foul play, Tho well dressed woman
declined 10 give her address, but stated
that she would write to Baltimore at
once, and would call in a day or two.
The body has been embalmed and will
be held.
The county physician still continues
to withhold orders for a coroner's in-
guest despite the sentiment expressed
by the citizens OF Secaucus in favor OF
been given by him for the mysterious
connected with the case.
Tho bodyof the old woman was found
on Thursday, October %. A determined
effort will now be made to solve the
mystery.

A Large Figure iu American
Politics and the Pride of
His Party.
Four.-FOur-Four-And we Shall
Make it at Least Twenty
four Years More.

HARRlsoN's magnificent triumph is
more than sustained by the latest re-
turns. He is not only elected President
with good deal to spare, but those
States which the Democratic managers
pretended to regard as doubtful have
resolved the doubt by large Republican
majorities.
West Virginia they claimed as safe
beyond question, aud the probability
is that West Virginia has cut loose from
the Solid South and gone to swell the
growing Harrison column-not needed
but heartily welcome and mighty glad
to get there.
The people have resented the Free
Trade efforts of the Democratic party
and put the seal of their disapproval
upon the transparent insincerity and
obstinate weakness of thc.Cleveland Ad-
ministration. There is little doubt that
the House Of Representatives is Ropub-
lican. One Of the choicest fruits of the
victory is the capture of the Delaware
Legislature, insuring the election Of a
United States Senator from the ring
ridden State OF Secretary Bayard. Re-
publican strength in the Senate is in
creased. The victory is sweeping.

A CORY NgCITAL.

But tho Stories Are Very ,staIO-Tho Par
nell Case still Dragging.
LONDON, Nov. s.-The same stream of
CORY stories OF the past was turned on by
the Times to-day, the same murders were
told several times over, with asickening
wealth of detail, and all the hideous epi.
sodes Of the land war ofseven years ago,
were again related.
The witnesses for the Times are excln-
sively landlords, land agents and police
men, who ali give evidence OF the most
biased description. While asked by Sir
Charles Russell to admit the distress Of
the people, and the harshness Of the
landlords, they assumed at once vacu-
ous look Of ignorance. Nevertheless,
Sir Charles Russell is managing to get
slowly but surely before the court
strong case on the subject OF landlord ty-
rany and tenant suffering. There is not
one tithe Of evidence yet to connect MIR.
Parnell with even Indictment to crime.
Indeed, even the police witnesses admit
that the general tenor OF all the speeches
was the other way, and Nally has taken
a prominent place as drunken clown
on such good terms with the police as TO
dictate to them the report Of his violent
speeches.
President Sir James Hannen is suffer
ing intensely from an internal disease,
and may possibly have to retire, in
which case the Commission would col
lapse. 1t is now expected that the pro-
ceedings will last till March.

ATePherson Confident of Good Majority
H7EG In tho Next House.
WASHINGTON, Nov. So do not see
any reason to revise the estimate made
yesterday relative to the strength OF the
Republican majority in thenext House"
said Secretary Mcpherson, OF the Repub-
lican Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, this afternoon.
II can't imagine what basis there is
for the claim made in New York that
the Democrats will retain control Of the
House. All the information obtainable
this morning justiGes me in expressing
the opinion that the next House will
consist Of l73 Republicans and l52 Dem
ocrats. There is a possibility that the
Republican majority may be reduced
by later advices to nineteen or twenty,
but have made liberal allowances in
my calculation for all the Democratic
claims"
Representative Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky q, Democratic member ofthe Ways
and Means Committee, expresses the
opinion that the Republican majority in
the next House will be very slender,
and is confident that it cannot exceed
ten in any event.
According to his calculations the Re-
publicans must show gain Of nineteen
10 secure a majority, and he does not
believe that they have much exceeded
that figure.

He would relinquish his seat in the
Senate without hesitation"
"Who do you think will be Secretary
of the Treasury" he was asked.
Undoubtedly ex-senator Warner Mil.
Ter will be selected, and he will un-
doubtedly make one OF the ablest Off
cials who ever graced that place. He is
a statesman, has made great fight for
Governor in New York and should be
chosen"
"Will Mr.. Blaine so into the Cabi-
metz"
"No, he will probably be sent as Min
isterto the Court Of 81. James, in place
Of Mr.. Phelps. He is politically fitted
to be diplomat and reflect great credit
on Harrison's administration; in addi-
tion, he is very much liked in England.
ALI the talk about Mr.. Blaine being the
power behind the throne is absurd.
General Harrison will be President in
fact as well as in name."

A STEADY run over net Republican
gains gives the State to Harrison by a
small majority. This probable result
may, OF course, be materially changed
by fuller returns, though the final count
is as likely to increase as to diminish
the estimated majority for Harrison.
Whether the State has been carried by
Harrison or Cleveland cannot be said at
this time. Whichever way it has gone
the majority is small.
GoIr will be the next Governor. He
nns ahead OF Harrison and his election
s assured beyond a reasonable doubt.
In hiscaso 1900 majority does not seem
% be an extravagant estimate. Hub
tard, Republican nominee for Attorney
General, leads his ticket so handsomely
in Ohio county and is believed to have
run so well elsewhere that he seems to be
another OF the elect. It is probable that
the whole Republican State ticket is
elected, but the returns have dealt only
with tlirrison and Gofr, and the rest is
left to conjecture.
The Legislature, according to the best
adyices, is Republican on joint ballot,
'asa''ns the election of United States
Sni'or to succeed Senator Kenna. The
State Senate is Republican.
The lSrELLIeEScER does not permit
Itself to rejoice as over a certainty, for
the unforeseen may have happened and
ne State may be shown to have gone
Democratic, There is time enough for
'eioicing.
The incomplete returns indicate the
election OF all the Republican nominees
'oF Congress, The majority in the First
district is not large but it is substantial.
IN t. the other districts the mniorities are
believed to be greater.
Unless the returns are misleading
tuesday was.a great day for West vir-
sinia and the Solid South is broken.
