Evarts has left two very important lucrative
vocancies in the Federal service to be filed.
To him has been lett the appointments of a

Harrison placed this power in the hands OF the
two Senators from this State. Evarts and His

to Senator Evarts. The many candidates for
the offices in question are exceedingly dis
gruntled by Senator Evarts' failure to make
the appointments before leaving.

The Medical Record of this week gives
Brown-Sequard and his mixture another shot
putting it in this wise: The Brown-Se guard

at once attained the proportions of an epidemic.

A dispatch from Washington says: The re-
ports Of blood poisoning from the use of the
Brown-Sequard injection are having a marked
effect in this city. Some leading physicians
here had arranged for experiments this morn
ing and the sheep and patients were ready.
The persons invited to be present were as
sembled, but the announcement was made that
in view of the alarming reports OF the effect of
the elixir the physicians had decided not to
make the experiments.

$500, 90 has astonished men who know most

General James hopes that Mr. Daggett will

as impossible. Warner Miller, who is regarded
IS one Of the most competent and experienced
m en- In the paper business, expressed great sur
prise iris morning when he heard what the fg-
ures in Mr.. Daggett's bid were He did not hes
itate to say that az these figures somebody
would lose considerable money. Mr.. Miller also
said that at those figures he did not see how it
wa possible for Mr.. Daggett to secure bonds
men for the faithful performance OF the con-
tract. Mr.. Daggett's friends say his annual
pro fit from the contract will be from SIS. 900 to
S500 The Commercial Advertiser this after
noon published an article to the effect that Mr..
Daggett has neither the plant nor the money
to execute his part of the contract, and that in
bidding he acted merely as q go-between for
bona fide manufacturers of postal cards. The
article claims that Mr.. Daggett, before making
his bid, got inside information as to the bids Of
his competitors.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YoBK, August 1.-THE Brown-Sequard
elixir foundry in East Twenry-slxth street has
shut down for an indefinite period. This is
done not on account OF poor business. for the
stream of patients to the Loomis laboratory
was increasing every day. The trouble was
that none of the old ones came back. They are
at home nursing pains in the back and the ear
ache and various other jdisagreeable maladies,
which they think were brought on by too much
elixir. All the local experiments of this char
acter to date have been conducted by DIR. Harry
p. Loomis, or under his direction, and he now
announces that he will make no further tests
He is through with 1t, he says, and will now
devote all the time he has to spare to the
theory of the distinguished French-American
to collating the results of his experiments and
preparing them for publication. Dr.. Loomis
won't anticipate the publication of his article
by expressing any opinion OF the value OF the
mixture at present As none OF the tests
which he conducted produced any beneficial
results and as his opinion will, of course, be
based on these tests, it is not very difficult,
though, to figure out what his opinion will be.
Any Amount of Interest.
The Doctor says that since the newspapers
have been mentioning his name in connection
with:the tests and the Brown-Sequard business
generally. he has been overrun with letters and
inquiries relating to the subject, and life has
been a burden to him. Now that he has
dropped the thing he hopes for little peace.
As far as he knows none of the people who
submitted themselves to the tests have felt any
bad effects. When he was asked if any of
them had felt any good effects. he declined TO
answer, but smiled smile that did Eot augur
well for his faith in the youth restorer."
Now that DR.. Looms and the other reputable
physicians have dropped the craze the auacks
will probably pitch in and coin money by pro-
viding all applicants with doses of youth
restorer" or something else just as good-or
just As bad. 1t is said one Sixth avenue quack
has already gone into the business on the
wholesale plan.

Lewis &, Cassidy.

The sudden death of Lewis c. Cassidy
will be shock to every citizen of Penn
sylvania who had learned to admire his
courage, resources and talents during the
term when he shed lustre upon the
attorney generalship of Pennsylvania.
There has been SO little light about this
office since, aud there had been so little
around 1t for n long while before,
that Mr.. Cassidy's administration shines
a. bright star in a armament of dark
ness. Until then his great character
and abilities had not been exhibited gen
orally to the people of the country,
though in his own city everyone knew
him who knew anybody and everyone
appreciated the remarkable strength of
his character and talents.
He was one Of the great men of the
state, growing greater with every year.
He was not rocket character which
shines brilliantly to die away soon but
ne had an enduring and solid founda-
ton OF ability which always brought
him forth prepared for any emergency.
III is q great misfortune TO the country
that such men as Mr.. Cassidy are not
more readily called into the service, and
that men 50 much smaller and weaker
climb into Its high offices. Mr.. Cassidy
was fond of political life, and doubtless
would have adorned it If his politics
had been accordant with those of his
state though possibly the Democracy
would have been as sorely afflicted
then with burthen of small
men In high places as the Republican
party Is now. II seems that party in
power rs smitten with pest of small
men and that great ones are DESTROYED
politically by their own intellectual fire,
How else happens it that the public
service does not command the service of
the ablest citizens, and that the Senate
gets such trash as goes there

She may he side tracked thereby, but
this Is an experience which every town
has, not excepting Lancaster and New
York. The Poughkeepsie bridge side
tracks New York for all New England
travel, and II is a very good thing that
it does. Before long other bridges and
tunnels will cross the Hudson, and no
one will have to go to New York who
wants to go to the other side Of 1t. There
is no reason why the traveller to Boston
should he dumped into New York nor
why the traveller for New York should
he hauled into Philadelphia. No
town should drag people into 1t who
want to go beyond IL.
The PENNSYLVANIA railroad In making
this new connection to New York, we
suggest, can make mileage by going of
at Lancaster by the New Holland road
and making its connection from that to
the Schuylkill Valley. II would give 1t
less new road to build than by taking
off at Downingtown and give it a shorter
line.

THE story of the ten thousand dollar
bet on Harrison's election made during
the late campaign Is re-told by Major J. c.
Delaney, the Senate librarian, who makes
IL appear that the bet was n work of Quay's
| genius The story runs that Quay was
very much put out by the introduction of
the Senate tariff reform bill, as he wanted
to fight the campaign of 1888 on the Mills
bill. Something had to be done to draw
public attention from the Republican mea-
sure. The anxiety of the leader lest the
absurdity of the free trade scare should
appear from the concentration of public at
tention on the Senate bin, is shown graphi-
| cally by Delanoy's story;
"The night before the Senate bill was
introduced be paced the floor at head
quarters until midnight and then, turning
to Senator Delamater, his son Dick and
myself he announced his determination
TO send some one the next evening with
$4,000 10 tho Hoffman house TO bet on
Harrison. We all declared il good
scheme that would overshadow any other
event of national Importance. The news
paper men were forewarned and SIC, 900
gold certificate was secured. Quay with
his own hand wrote tho conditions and
money. Swords commented ON the bril-
liancy of the scheme, and praised Quay in
the warmost manner, saying il was no
wonder we won In Pennsylvania with
such genius as Quay TO lead u.s."
This story was brought out because
Colonel Swords had shown a disposition
to claim the glory of the trick.
How pleasant il must be for the voters

looked like free trade, while the Republi-

the cry for the highest possible tarin.

no wonder Repubicanism triumphs in
Pennsylvania under tho leadership of a
man who knows how to make them blind
to issues of Importance. This is the "rule
OF the people" that We are all SO proudIof,

ton of the benighted South American

THE squabble of New York and Chicago

Is too anxious TO pose rs one Of the four

the significance Of the fair as
something higher than lumber, and
live stock, and the Chicago critic pounces
down on him for being ashamed
of the ladder by which his family climbed
to wealth. He is supposed to object to live
stock because "it would be suggestive of

skins of skunks and polar rats William
Waldorf Astor does not care TO be regarded
