Our readers can enjoy the agreeable sensa-
ton of visit to Count Tolstoi (at second hand)
by pcrusing the pleasant narrative printed on
another page. The impression given OF the
famous writer is that of a genuinely human
man, of deep, broad sympathies, the kindliess
of hearts and intense earnestness. Formerly
he thought i'll of America but he has revised
his Judgment. Now he rates Emerson, Thoreau
and Theodore Parker very high, and is espe-
cially attracted by Emerson's mastery essay on
"Self- Reliance" II Tolstoi should ever decide
to visit America, we can promise him a cordial
reception.

The two California contested election cases
are interesting in more respects than one. If
in either case the Democratic contestant should
get the seat the California delegation would
stand equally divided politically and could do
nothing in deciding the Presidential election
should that be thrown into the House. Then
in each case the majority for the Republican
candidate was narrow-in the With District
ll9 and in the Vth only 55. Hen1e the Demo
Gratis have been subjected to an acute tempta-
ton. The Committee on Elections, however,
have decided in favor of Mr.. Vandever, and
probably they will not undertake to unseat Mr..
FELTON,.

Final tokens of esteem and reverence were

have the appointment of the Chief o

Police.
Mr.. Cohn offered an amendment t,
Mr.. Moran's amendment, as follows
The Board of Police Commissioned
shall consist of the Mayor and foul
citizens selected by the Council, nc
more than two of whom shall belong
to the same political party.
DR.. Sinsabaugh spoke strongly
against the appointment or election
of men to these positions without pay
ing them salary, but thought thai
the amendment as proposed by Mr.
Cohn would entirely cover thu point
Mr.. Lee moved an amendment tc
all others that the Mayor and City
Council should form the Board of Po
lice Commissioners, as such a pro.
vision would meet every objection.
Mr.. Cohn said lie would agree to
this amendment if provision was in.
serted providing for the appointment
of no more than one policeman fol
every thousand of population, as is
the rule in almost every Eastern city
of any size.
After a very long discussion on these
several amendments the matter was
decided by the adoption OF Mr.. Cohn s
amendment.
Mr.. Cohn then moved that the term
of office for members of the Police
Commission shall be two years, and
that in addition to the usual oath oi
Office they shall be compelled to swear
or affirm that they will remove no Off
Ger on account of his political opin-
ions.
Mr.. Del Vale thought this was an
extraordinary provision to put into
the charter, as should the commission
remove a man for this reason they
would not admit the fact, and you
could only prosecute them before re-
ligious tribunal to see whether they
had or had not perjured themselves.
Mr.. Cohn withdrew his amendme nj
upon having his attention called to the
fact that the charter provided that no
other oath or test should be required
from an officer other than his oath OF
office.
On motion of Mr.. Cohn the Chief of
Police was made an appointive Off
Ger, and that he be appointed by the
Board of Police Commissioners.
Mr.. Robinson moved to pay the
four members of the Board OF Police
Commissioners 500 per month. Mo-
ton was lost.
Colonel B. N. Smith moved that the
manuscript be put in the hands of the
printer, and that the Board meet
again at 8 O'Clock Saturday morning
to adopt as whole.
The meeting then adjourned until
Saturday.

The liver is the largest gland of the body and the

cause of more trouble In this climate than all else

effects arising from a disordered condition OF ihe
liver. And yet 1t goes every day. Well, DR.. how

Tourists VII do well to tarry Ia the

whether they come from the South, to
seek the cooler breezes and clear atmos-
phere of the Northern climate, or from
the North, to find rest and change from
the monotony Of life by travel in any
direction.
The impression that Cincinnati is op-

teracted by the balmy air the evenings,
which, save on rare occasions, is always
to be enjoyed on the hilltops and very
often even in the crowded city. ....
The hotels are, without exception,
sumptuous and commodious. Mine host
has set his foot down on exorbitancy,
while his menu will be up the tastes Of
the most exquisite bon vivant.
The opportunity for sightseeing is un-
paralleled. The Centennial Exposition
is as complete and comprehensive as any
ever held. The special features Of rare
interest are alone worth visit to this
city and the improvements which have
been made in every sphere of life since
the great Philadelphia Exposition Of
1876, especially in the domain of cleo
tricity will form large and marvellous
exhibit in every building.
1t is therefore with no little force that
the invitation to visit Cincinnati on your
summer tour, come from what direction
you will, is extended, and see what an
exclusive community, cultivated, pro-
gressive, original has grown up at this
centre of population and of the indus

bride, if you're lucky enough for that,
and if your heart Is still in it's adaman

possessor TO the highest credit II Is Q
negative virtue as compared with tho

dangerous duty, while realizing the full
measure Of the peril encountered. These
two traits are best illustrated by the old
story of the two soldiers whose regiment
was charging up hill In desperate at:

and said. why. you're as pale as a

masters the sense Of fear. When the

consists of eight buildings, of brick,
with stone facings and trimmings,
placed en- echelon. These are all con-
nected by corridors, and surround an ex-
tensive inner yard or court. The central
portion and main entrance faces Twelfth
street, and contains the offices, library,

ments, and the living rooms. The am
phitheater is situated upon the upper
floor and has accommodations for 1000
students. There are also beds for 1900
patients. ...
There are five wards; surgical, medi-
cal, obstetrical, ophthalmological and
pathological. There are four medical
attendants, specialists in each ward.
Clinical lectures are delivered in the am.
phitheater two hours each working day,
commencing in October and ending with
February. To these lectures all medical
students are admitted on the payment
of five dollars, the fund thus created be-
ing applied to the purchase of books, in-
struments and the increase of the cabi-
net.
The Hospital is managed by Board
of Trustees, seven in number, appointed,
two by the Supreme Court, two by the
Common Pleas Court and one by the
Governor of the State. The income is
derived by tax annually levied by the
City Council upon the whole taxable
property of the city.
