ing, without regard to the character
of the applicant, whether such license
is, or is not, matter Of public neces.
sity. Furthermore, the Legislature
has prescribed the method by which
the necessity shall be ascerta;ned,
that is, by ths number and character
of those petitioning for or against
such application" Language cannot
more plainly say that preponderating
pnblic sentiment, when property
brought to the attention Of the Court,
shall determine the necessity for the
license The Supreme Court says
that the law so prescribes Its decis-

declares that the associate judges,
unlearned in the law, properly exer-
cised" their power when, after having
admitted that Henry Leister had met
all the requirements of law, they vet
denied him license, because his IA
petitioners encountered 2O1 remon-
strants. and because he had been re.
fused license year before for violat-
ing the license law. Whatever else
be said of this decision, it certainly
places new emphasis on popular sen.
timent before the license court.

bars are not in accordance with pub.

him. properly brought to the atten-
tion of the Court, had $50 signatures.
Now, the law prescribes that this
should have determined the necessity
for the house. 1t says so in plain
words. The Supreme Court says so.
The &C. of Assembly, evidently mean
ing something, invites the citizens in
the neighborhood to appear in the IL
cense court, and stand up and be
counted; $50 to II; and II won with
the Court. The Court treated this
feature of the law as q farce 1t
downed the American idea of govern
ment by majoritiss. The licensed
bars in Butler are not the wish of the
people. They are not the necessary
creations of law, though now existing
by its authority. They are the crea-
tions of the license court. The ruin
they work in homes-in drinking
men-in their hapless wives and
children-will be ruin wrought, not
by necessity of law, but by the Ii
cense court. God help and pity the
weak ones. end as began. To lay
man it seems strange that liquor bars
have been licensed in Butler borough.

what shall be his theory regarding

Brougham will appear, saying: The

villain on earth ought to have fair

Remarkable Double Tragedy.

A terrible double tragedy took
place lately, at Portland, Maine. upon
the most public thoroughfare in the
city, before the eyes OF hundreds of
people. The affair grew out Of the
guilty love of two unhappily-mated
ones. Mrs. Ida Stevens, wife of
Hugh Stevens, well-to-do merchant
of Gardiner, daughter of Hon: H
Il. Ladd and niece of Rev. Q. S.
Ladd, ID, D., the eminent Methodist
divine, is one victim, and Edward
Chase. a son of DR.. Z. p. Chase, of
New York, the other.
Unknown to all, even her husband,
Mrs. Stevens and Chase had met in
Gardiner and formed strong attach
ment, which their situation rendered
impossible for them to realize Not
being strong enough to bear the
odium an elopement would bring
upon them, they agreed to die to.
gether. Mrs. Stevens came from
Gardiner this morning and spent the
day with some friends, leaving them
ct 4 o'clock ostensibly to 60 home.
She went down to the Central depot,
where she met Chase. who was wait
ing by appointment, and the two
walked out on st. John street, ut
that hour crowded with pedestrians.
While walking the woman suddenly
stopped, clapped her hands in front of
her and bowed her head Chase draw
ing arevolver, placed it against her tenn
pie and fired. She fell dead without
groan, the ball going clear through
her brain. There was OF once panic
in the street, but before Chase could
be secured he had put bullet in his
own head and had fallen near his
victim. He was able to give his
name before he became unconscious.
He was removed to the hospital.
where the wound was pronounced
fatal, and he will die before morning.
The unfortunate woman was remov-
ed to the Coronsr's.
On, the body Of Chase were found
two letters to his father and wife,
which 70 to show the crime was pre-
meditated by both he and Mrs.
Stevens. The first directed to DR.. K.
p. Chase, New York, reads:
My DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER
know you will be heart.broken at
awful news you hear of me, but
cannot, oh! l cannot live in this way
any longer. The woman who dies
with me is the only woman | ever
loved on this earth. / had planned
to come here and see her, and then to
leave her forever; but could not.
My will is MOI strong enough. We
prefer death to q life Of separation.
Goodbye. Try and forget that | ever
lived. From NED.
Another, to his wife at South
Livermore, reads as follows:
My WIFE: / say goodbye to you
forever. / cannot live any longer.
am discouraged and heart-broken.
and before this reaches You shall be
dead. Goodbye.
Try aud forget me and my awful
end. You and the children (heaven
pity themD will be better off without
me. Kiss them all for me and teach
them to forget even my name.
From NED.
In his diary written just before the
end, he wrote: 1--WE are all discour-
aged. What is the use of living in
this way? Goodbye to all. Try
and forget u.s." The affair creates
the greatest excitement.
Mr.. Stevens is beside himself with
shame and grief.

A Return to Old-Fashioned Methods
Strongly Recommended.
There was much in the system OF
swlne- growing quarter OF century
ago that was commendable, and can
still be practiced by many with profit.
One of these conditions was to give
the sow while in farrow the run OF
timber lands--with little grain
when short mast made it necessary
to keep her in good flesh She was
allowed to select her own place to far
row and left there till the pigs could
travel to convenient quarters. Dur.
ing this time care was taken to feed
the sow properly to insure strong
flow of milk, quantity being preferred
to quality.
There are many farmers on broken
lands who have timber hillsides. and
can give their brood sows just such
surroundings. 1t may be that these
men struggle and plan every year to
shelter their COWS in modern houses
when they can not do any better. if as
we'll, as they would do in the woods.
There is much in modern improve
ments connected with swine-growing
that would be best for good per
cent. of small breeders not to aspire
to.
Extravaganza marks the work OF too
many-extravagance in feed. shelter
and carelessness, which is the worst OF
extravaganza.
But few common farmers need ex-
pensive houses. and l believe they are
in most cases detrimental, rather than
beneficial, because they are not kept
clean; or if clean it is on too costly a
basis have found it hard and con-
stant work to keep permanent hog
,hed as neat as l desired it. for young
MOS to thrive from farrowing till
weaving time. ~
Contiguous swine pens harbor dis
sase. Constant change should be aimed
at If pen is used at farrowing time
it should be vacated for time before
using for that purpose again. like
it much better to have pens that can
be moved OF torn down. as soon as lho
pigs are weaned. and when farro"inS
time comes again have new pens Gu

CAUSES OF APROSExIE.

and signifies want of attention, or In
attentiveness. Although the name 10
recent the thing itself is old, and
quite we'll known in its effects. Sc
DR.. G Guye has occupied himself, not
with Its effects. but with its causes.
1t is curious thing that the nose is
one of the causes of aprosexie. This
organ is decidedly in favor at this
moment 1t is not long ago that we
saw the great role that it was made to
play sometimes rightly, but some
times also wrongly, by irtue of ex-
aggerated and hasty generalizations.
in the production of certain dyspne as.
Now it is question Of its psychology
ical influence.
Aprosexie, in the cases cited by
Guye, appears to be due to a greater
or less obstruction of the nasal foss@,
which forces the patient to breathe
through the nose. thus giving the face
an expression of little intelligence. as
we all know.
The following are the cases report
ed by the Amsterdam scientist: The
first is that of young boy. unable to
breath through the nose, or to learn
any thing whatever. Guye cxtirpated
the adenoid tumors from his nasal
foss e, and tho child, in eight days,
knew his entire alphabet, while at the
date of the operation he knew but the
three first letters of it. The second
case concerns a man of twenty, who,
from the age of eight. was troubled
with buzzing in the ears. and was at
tackled with vertigo whenever he
worked After the same operation,
mental labor became easy and profit
able. The third case is that Of medic
al student, which presented analo-
gous symptoms. The cure was effected
by the same method.
How is the influence Of these nasa
troubles upon the cerebral functions
to be explained DR.. Guye suppose:
that they prevent the cerebral lymph
from rculating freely, whence the
origin of conditions unfavorable fol
the brain. 1t is by analogous troubles
that certain headaches are explained
and it Is by the same operation that
Dr. Guye treats them. He believes il
partial aprosexies referable 10 differ

that was limited to mathematics -
