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 suffices to enable
it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces to such en- extent that there is
little or no help. In other cases a
little aid to the weakened Lungs will
make all the difference between sud
den death aud many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms of a
Cough, Cold or any trouble of the
Throat or Lungs, give that old and
we'll known remedv-Boschees Ger
man Syrup, careful trial. 1t will
prove what thousands say oft to be,
the "benefactor of any home

PHILADELPHIA, April l4.-Charles IL.
Litchman, general secretary of the Knights
of Labor, has issued a circular 10 the MEM
bers of the order, outlining plan for prac-
teal cooperation.
Cooperation, the circular says, "begins
and seems 10 succeed better in distribution
through stores rather than in production
through factories Following out the appar-
emily natural law of cooperative effort, we
believe it possible, at once and without capt.
tal TO establish in and through the order the
grandest cooperative effort the world has

of the plan, then suggests that manu-
facturers and cooperative establishments
members of the order, file with the
general secretary u complete price catalogue
of the goods they produce; that these price
lists be classified and printed copies sent to
every local assembly, and that each assembly
appoint an agent to handle orders for the
goods. The scheme also provides for fee
from each establishment entering into the an
rangement the stamping of the makers name
upon the goods to guarantee their quality,
etc
The circular concludes: "The gain would be
an immense concentration of patronage upon
goods produced by our own people, quality
guaranteed, prices moderate, elimination as
far as possible of middlemen, and the substi-
tuition of a cooperative for competitive sys-

A DAY OF APPREH ENSION.


Apparently Not Hopeful.
NEW York, April 14-At Up. m. Friday
Mr.. Conkling was not so well as he had been
and the physicians said he had lost some
ground. He objected to taking nourishment,
and twitching of the muscles was apparent,
which was not looked upon as favorable
symptom There was a general air of appre-
hension in the Hoffman house, and it was be-
lieved the patient could not hold out much
longer.
At $50 Dr. Barker, who had been to visit
the sick man, said:
"This afternoon l feared failure of the
nerve centers. Mr.. Conkling was asleep at
5 O'Clock p. m, but it was not normal,
healthy sleep. He was only doing, and
talked and muttered to himself. He refused
to take his nourishment and only eceived
two ounces of milk during the day. Since
$50 p. m there has been change for the
better He has given up his twitching and
now takes his milk
The temperature was 10l As, pulse 90, re-
spiration nearly normal There was a report
that the patient had asked for champagne
DIR. Barker, when asked about this, smiled
and said: "If he should ask for champagne
/ would give it to him, but he has not"
When asked what the chances for recovery
were he said: ~ have decided not to reduce
the case to mathematical problem"
DR.. Barker arrived at the house again at
II :O6 and remained with the patient until
II 80. When he came out he said that Mr..
Conkling was improving His pulse was still
at 90, and his temperature was about the
same as in the early evening. The patient
had been sleeping ever since o'clock He
had been taking little whisky, not with the
milk, as the doctor did not want him to be-
come tired of milk diet. The doctor said there
was no probability that death would occur
during the night.

LOWELL On PROTECTION.
HE CHARGES 1T WITH DEVELOPING
DANGEROUS SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

| A Few Remarks About Literary FeiIers'
son Boom-Foran and the Direct Tar
Maryland Republican League-A DE
| Iudered" Kansas Community.
New York, April H. James Russell
| Lowell delivered a lecture before the Reform
club Friday night on undergraduates in Poll
tics" He incidentally referred approvingly
to the policy of tariff reduction as one less of
party or politics than Of fundamental econ
omic law. He quoted Edmund Burke to sup
port his view that the amazing early develop
ment of America was due to the greater
prevalence here of reliance upon natural
methods and natural law. This growth, he
declared, was healthy and happy one, at
which all the world looked on with envy and
admiration. Our more recent growth under
artificial methods and unnatural economic
arrangements had not been a healthy one
We had under it developed the dangerous
social problems that everywhere accompany
violations of natural law, and the inequali-
ties of fortune bred of an unjust commercial
policy showed their effects in the appearance
of class distinctions, discomfort, and menace.
Mr. Lowell further said; II have not been
so much surprised as perhaps l ought to have
been to learn that in the opinion of some of
our leading politicians, and of many of our
newspapers students of books are ipso factO
debarred from forming any judgment on
public affairs, or, if they should be SO UNI
scrupul Gus as to do SO, that they must at
least refrain from communicating it to their
fellow-citizens. One eminent gentleman has
even gone so far as to sneer at school-books
as sources Of information. If he had a chance
he would perhaps take a hint from what is
tabled of the Caliph Omar and burn our lib.
raries, because if they contained doctrine not
to be found in his speeches they were harm
full while if the doctrine judged by that test
was orthodox, they were useless.
4 Il y
practical politicians as they call them
selves, have the same habit still, only that
they have substituted doctrinaire for pedant
as the term of reproach Now, the true and
the mschievous doctrinare is he who insists
that facts shall accommodate themselves to
preconceived theory, and the truly practical
man he who would deduce theory from the
amplest possible comparison and correlation
of facts-in other words, from recorded ex-
perience 1 think it is already beginning to
be apparent on which side of the questions
which have been brought to the front by the
presidents message the doctrinaires are to be
found.

RASH BESSIE BULKLEY.
AN ACTOR IN TWO SENSATIONS, THE
SECOND BEING TRAGIC.

The Girl Who Tilted Comptroller Tren-
Her Own Life with Poison-IIer Recent
History-A Lack of Settled Purpose
Seems the Only Explanation.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 14-Mrs De
grassie Buckley, daughter of Judge c. j.
Hillyer, died Thursday night at her fathers
residence, from the effects Of poison taken
with suicidal intent. She was taken very i'll
on Wednesday morning and the physicians
were hastily summoned. Every effort was
made to save her life, but without avail
Miss Bessie Hillyer who was engaged to be
married to w. L. Trenholm, son of the comp
troller of the currency, on Feb s. wns married
on the Goth of last December to DeGrassie
Buckley, in Baltimore. The sensation that
was caused by the elopement of the
young couple accompanied to Baltimore
by Mr.. Antonio Nogueiras, son of the Portu-
guese minister, is still distinctly remembered
1t was the talk of society for week. when II
fresh impetus was given it by the filing of u
bill for divorce in the name of Bessie Hllyer-
Bulkley, asking that the marriage be declared
void, alleging that undue influence was used
TO effect it, and that Mr.. Buckley was under
age at the time To this there was number
Vi ueIldls. MT, NobuelTuS sJultu JnhI MISS
Hillyer seemed TO be acting Of her free will,
and Rev. Mr. Ferguson, the Baltimore clergy
man who performed the marriage, said that
lie failed to see any constiant in her actions
The county clerk in Baltimore said that
young Mr.. Buckley had declared he was of
age
Mrs. Buckley had returned to the residence
of her father after her marriage and re-
manned there until December 30. On that
day conference was held at the office of H.
c. Cady, in this city, at which young Mrs
Buckley appeared, accompanied by Senator
Stewart, friend of the family, and young
Buckley. Then the case was finally laid be-
fore her for decision. 1t was shown how her
father was opposed to the marriage, but she
was told to take her choice ~ shall go with
Grassie," she declared, and the young couple
left the Office, They went to a hotel and re-
manned a week. They then went to live at a
private residence, but the bride remained but
a few days, going home, where she has since
lived. The family and friends Tefrained from
giving any reason for the step, which was
said to he final. 1t was stated that divorce
proceedings would follow Young Buckley
refused to discuss the matter. The family
are especially soTTowflIl on account of the
peculiar circumstances surrounding the case.

A VOLUMINOUS JOURNAL.


Ninety Pages og House Record Read in
Business Disposed of.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 1.-THE Dem
ocrats in the house wanted to dispense with
the reading Of the journal of the past eight
days Friday, when the speaker called the
members to order, but Grosvenor and f. b.
Taylor of Ohio both objected, and unani-
nous consent was necessary the journal had
to be read. There were ninety pages of it,
and in addition thereto seventy -one roll calls,
it took an hour to get through with it in skele-
ton form, that being all the Republicans
demanded. A number of executive
documents were then referred, the
postofIice appropriation bill reported and re-
ferred to committee of the whole, and the
conference reports on bills relating to Indian
lands agreed to. The speaker then called for
reports on private bills which brought out a
big list to go on the calendar. A claim for
compensation for the occupation of certain
property by United States troops at Memphis
during the war took up the remainder of the
day until p m, when a recess was taken
to 7:30, at which hour the house reassembled
and passed ffty-hve pension bills, and then
adjourned for the day. The senate was not
in session, having adjourned on Thursday
until Monday

BEEN ASLEEP OVER A MONTH.


BUFFALO, N. Y, April l4-For some time
the village of Attiea Wyoming county, has
been greatly excited over the case of young
woman named Emma Toms, who goes into
frances, the length of which she tells before
hand. She has now been i'll a trance lasting
over thirty days. Emma sank into her present
sleep Sunday, March IL. She had lain wide
awake eight consecutive days and nights,
partaking during that time of more nourish-
ment than in all the six months of her pre-
vious trance, the amount being about glass
full of milk, administered in teaspoonfuls,
During the present trance the physician, who
calls daily, has managed to force between
her lips a few teaspoonfuls of the
liquid, but this is a difficult feat, as she rarely
parts her lips, When closed, her teeth are
firm as a wise, any effort to pry them open
proving useless. She lies almost perfectly
still her arms and legs being perfectly white
and cold, and pulse very feeble, being rated
in the absence of a chronometer, at Is beats
per minute. The face is the only warm part
of her body, being flushed with alternating
fever. When some time ago she predicted to
the reporter that she would sleep thirty DAYS.
and perhaps longer, she did so without the
least hesitation.
