WE publish the following extract from
the debate on the bounty bill, in order
that the public may see how wofully as
tray Speaker Mantle is in regard to
bobcats:
Joslyn offered an amendment fixing the
bounty at So for mountain lions, ~ for
bears, S$1 for wolves or coyotes and Toe
for wild cats, bobcats, etc.
Mantle-Before voting on this question
l would like to know what bob cat Is!
[Laughter.] ask in all seriousness.
askell-Somebody else knows.
Davis-A bob-cat Is bob-cat. Laugh
ter. ;,
Mantle thanked the chair for his eluci-
dation of the question, but insisted upon
an explanation.
,Josiyn-The difference between bob
cat and wild cat is that one has a long
tail, the other bob-tail.
Davis-Are they both wild?
Joslyn-Both wild and Woolly.
Blakely-A bob-cat is usually known
by the name Of lynx. Its ears are bobbed
and it has short tail. That is all the
difference between it and the wild cat:
Mantle expressed himself satisfied, but
suggested InAC tne plil W. AlAeuuou VI
the subject of bobcats, SO that the future
generation might not be as ignorant as he
was
Pending vote on Joslyn's amendment
the committee arose and the house re
sumed.
As object teaching is deemed the mos
impressive, we hope the people of Nortl
Montana will send Mr.. Mantle one o.
more bobcats. Our fellow citizep .lohl
Sinclair, might send him stuffed one
but we recommend that live bobcat b,
sent without delay. ~.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The French republic survived the pres
idency of Marshal Mcmahon, which was
little better than a dictatorship. 1t is
now threatened with overthrow by Bou-
langer, who speaks Of the republic as
glibly as did Louis Napoleon when he
was plotting its destruction. He has won
In Paris, where the people are mercNrial
and excitable, but he has yet to overcome
the solid, conservative masses in the
country, who are not disposed to return
to monarchy with all its burdens and
abuses.
The gravest feature in the situation is
the likelihood that Boulangers success
will create alarm in Germany and bring |
about feverish condition in European
affairs that would be little better than
actual war. Lord Stanhope appears to
have had such state of things in mind
when speaking on Monday evening In
England, he said thunder cloud is hang
ing over Europe, which. sooner or later,
will burst, causing the iercest and most
horrible war ever known.
The French people should try to avert
such a calamity by displaying sincere
desire for peace. Willing as Prince Bis
marck may be to precipitate hostilities
he will not dare to engulf Germany
in war unless he can point to some in
stance of deliberate provocation. He
knows that Boulanger's popularity does
not imply thst France desires war, al
though it must be admitted that Boulang-
er is regarded by many as the dictator
who is to restore France her lost provin-
ces and damaged prestige.
The details Of the Austrian crown
princes death, SO far received, point to
murder or suicide. 1t appears that he
was found dead in his bed by his valet,
and that his body bore marks of rifle
wound. This tragic affair will astound
Europe, for the crown prince was looked
upon as highly favored by fortune. He
was heir to the throne Of great empire,
which by the timely concession Of home
1
rule to the Hungarlans, is now happily at
peace. He was married to Belgian
princess, the beautiful, artless Stephanie,
who brought him large dowry. He was
beloved by the people and still enjoyed
the care of his mother. the empress, who
is an estimable woman. But the malign
fate which attends the house OF Haps-
burg appears to have pursued him. Like
his uncle, Macmillan, who ascended the
Mexican throne only to fall by Mexican
bullets on the hill outsideQ eQueretaro, he has
passed away leaving no direct heir to his
possessions. His uncle becomes heir ap-
parent and Francis Joseph experiences
again the bitterness Of great sorrow.
Assuredly fate has avenged the murdered
Hungarian patriots on what Kossouth
used to call the perjured house Of Haps-
burg.

SETTLED THE CASE.
The Dispute About the Trotter Howard Jay
Brought to an End.

The Dispute About the Trotter Howard Jay
Brought TO an End.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
SCRANTON, PA, September N.-Personal
friends of DIR. B. q. Throop. of this city, have
finally persuaded the aged physician to settle
up the famous Howard Jay suit which Mr.. B
F. Herrick, of Elmira, brought against him in
the fall of 1883. DR.. Throop got possession of
Howard Jay soon after Mr.. Herrick brought
him to Scranton. Mr.. Herrick was hard up and
he borrowed 81, 900 on the horse of VIM. .Haggerty
and j. s. Walden, the agreemhnt being that, at
the end of one year, Herrick should have the
horse On the payment of the loan and interest,
the three to share equally in the gelding's
earnings. In the spring OF 'S3 Hageerty and
Walden got into a dispute over driver, and
Walden induced DR.. Throop to buy Haggerty's
gerty believe that Throop had bought the
horse out and out bill of sale was got from
Herrick in favor of Throop.
Howard jays performances made the horse
very valuable. He was brought back to Scran-
ton in thefall of the year, having earned s.. 900
above all expenses. Walden was out of his in
terest in the horse by that time. In October
Herrick came here and rendered s., 900 bor-
rowed money and interest to DIR. Throop, but
Throop wouldn't give up the horse. declaring
that the bill of sale showed that he was the
sole owner of the trotter. Throop sold the
horse to Mr.. ]. d. Ripley, of New York City,
for 5000, and in December Herrlck sued
Throop in the Supreme Court of New York for
$4,000 damages. In July, 1882 Herrick got
On the payment of $4,000 Herrick withdrew
the suit; but the old man got only small share
of the sum, most of it going to the lawyers.
DR.. Throop still hangs on to Howard Jay.

NOT In HIGH FAVOR.
It js Claimed Doctors Are Not Wanted "a
Teach Physiology In the Schools.

It js Claimed Doctors Are Not Wanted to
Teach Physiology in the Schools.
On Friday night, the Allegheny High
School Committee decided to engage two
physicians, one male and one female, to
teach physiology, anatomy and hygiene in
the new High School M. W. Lewis, of the
Central Board of Education, of Pittsburg,
was seen yesterday, in the absence of City
Superintendent Luckey, about this move
on the part of the committee.
Mr.. Lewis stated that the idea of getting
professional ladies and gentlemen to take
the places of ordinary teachers was quite
novel. In the Pittsburg High School, ordi-
nary teachers are engaged for instruction in
anatomy, physiology and hygiene. They
do their work we'll and thoroughly. Only
a certain amount of each subject is required
to be taught, and the teachers can teach all
all that the law specifies. Too
much instruction in these matters
would only overload the pupils. IF
they wanted to study these matters more
fully they might go to university or medi-
cal school. And whether the move of the
Allegheny High School arose from any
scarcity Of good physiology teachers, Mr..
Lewis said that such teachers were to be
found in plenty. Whenever a vacancy of
the kind occurred in Pittsburg High School
there were always numerous applicants,
many we'll qualified for the position. The
Allegheny High School only offered a
salary of 81 900 to the proposed physician
tutors, while in Pittsburg the physiology
teachers get good deal more.
Mr.. j. B. Arbuckle, principal Of the
Ninth ward school, Allegheny, said: 81
don't beIieye this nonsensical proposition
will ever pass the Board OF Control. Good
Psychologists are to be found, and besides an
ordinary physiology teacher can devote all
his time to class, while the physician will
probably have little private practice to at
tend to in addition to his or her school
duties. Every other high school in the
country Is satisfied with regular teachers,
and the election of physicians is only taking
the bread out of deserving peoples mouths.
I am afraid the cranks have got several
fingers in the pie"

HOW 1T is DONE.
A Surgeon Who Removes Hair From Ladies'
Faces With Electricity.

A Surgeon Who Removes Hair From Ladies'
Faces With Electricity.
A source Of great annoyance to woman
is the growth Of unnatural hair on her face.
Many women have hair growing upon the
upper lip, or on the cheek or chin, for the
removal of which, without the making Of a
scar, they would be willing to pay almost
any sum of money. Various decoctions are
sold for the purpose OF removing such hair.
They are usually called depiliatory reme-
dies or powders They merely destroy the
hair externally, without killing the roots,
and therefore are only temporary in their
effect A surgeon who uses electricity as a
remedy yesterday said:
'The principal ingredient of those depili-
atory powders is lime. The idea of using
lime was obtained from the tanning busi-
ness, where lime is used to remove hair from
hides. The method which employ is
called electrolysis, which means the decom-
position of tissues by electricity. use an
electric needle, which is made'w with an ex-
ceedingly fine point. This needle is con-
nected with the negative pole of a galvanic
battery. The point of the needle is inserted
into the follicle, alongside of the hair. In
about 20 seconds the hair is killed by the
electric current The root or germ is de-
stroyed, so that the hair never grows again.
can destroy II or 15 hairs at sitting of
half an hour. have taken from the face
of woman as much hair as have on my
face"
The surgeon is well-bearded man.
Continuing, he said: sit is surprising
the number of women who have blemishes
Of unnatural hair. Thirty or thirty-6ve
women out of every hundred have superfu-
Gus hair ON their face some time during
their lives. I remove also moles, warts and
birthmarks. Small blemishes like moles
and warts are removed by the electric nee
die, which takes them off permanently. In
the case of birthmark, which is often large
and sometimes nearly purple. L use cluster
of six fine electric needles. They are in
serted into the mark, and the current
blanches or bleaches the skin near the nee-
dies. There is small amount of pain con-
nected with that operation and it requires
some time, but the effect is permanent. I
use the needle also for the removal of in
growing eyelashes or wild hairs, which are
frequent.

GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAY

President Hewitt, of the Washington
Baseball Club, is inclined to quit the base
ball business at the end of this season. He
saws his club is losing, and he demands
assistance or he will dispense with the team.
There was an exciting game between the
Homesteads and the East End Athletics.
WASHINGTON, September H.-President
Hewitt, of the Washington Baseball Club,
has been the recipient recently of several
letters from League maguates urging him to
stand firm and not permit the capital of the
United States to be unrepresented in the
big ball aggregation next season. This
stiffeninc process has become necessary from
the fact that Mr. Hewitt does not regard with
favor the prospect of laying out more money TO
support a team here next season, when the re-
ceiptS this year have shown deficiency on the
right side of the ledger
'.rhus far" said Mr. Hewitt this afternoon,
~ have sunk $4,000 in my endeavor to give
baseball patrons amusement, and 1 am not
anxious 10 repeat the experiment unaided,
while am not prepared to say definitely that
there will not be a club at Washington next
season. 1 am sincere in my efforts to find a syn
dicate of gentlemen who will he willing TO help
me to bear the brunt of the expense No other
club in the League is carried on solely by one
man and baseball has not proven such
bonanza as TO cause me for an instant to think
of neglecting my business"
The statement of President Hewitt leads
many to believe that Brooklyn will try for the
Washington franchise. 1t is understood that
Brooklyn is ready to join the League chiefly be-
cause OF the quarrel between President Byrne
and Won der Abe,

ITS BUSINESS CLOSED.

The Flood Committee Of Pitfsburg Turns
Over An rhe Money to the state Aufhor-
ities-Nof Afraid Of Criticism.
The Pittsburg committee for the relief of
the Johnstown sufferers held a meeting at
the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce yes
rerday. Chairman McCreery occupied his
official position and all the other members
were present Several small bills and mat
ters OF minor importance were arranged and
then the matter of disposing of the balance
OF the frnd, about $3.50, 900, now in the
hands of Treasurer Thompson, was taken
up. This was arranged by the following
resolution:
Resolved. That this committee. aware OF the
grave difficulties that have prevented wise
and equitable distribution, at an earlier date
of the funds at the disposal OF the State Com
mission, and recognizing the care and labor
bestowed by them In discharge of the onerous
duties laid upon them. would hereby express
their general and hearty approval of the man
ner in which their work has been done.
; Discomfort with the awards in some quarters
il to be expected. It is impossible to please
everybody. Criticism from the wise few who
always know JUST what ought to be done in all
circumstances will follow. as ir has preceded,
their action, but the commission can safely
commit the hnal report OF their work to the
judgment Of the generous donors. whose gifts
they have sought with sincere purpose wisely
to disburse.
We, therefore, direct our Treasurer, William
R. Thompson, to transfer TO the State Commis-
sion the sum of Sl6U, 600 to be used, with our
previous transfer of s400, 900. at the forthcom-
ing distribution in Conenaugh Valley.
The resolution was adopted, and Treas
uerer Thompson will at once turn over the
money to the State Commission. The
first transfer of s400, 900 was made on July
26, and that together with the $3.50. 900 will
make $3.50, 900 to 90 into the next award to
the sufferers, all coming from this city.
There is still balance Of few thousand
dollars left in the hands OF Treasurer Thomp-
son, the committee thinking it best to re-
tain it for use in caring for an isolated case
here and there.
There was also an auditing committee
appointed to go over the accounts of the
Treasurer, composed Of Controller E. S.
Morrow, of this city; Governor J. B.
Foraker, of Ohio; Governor George Luce,
Of Michigan. and Mayor De Witt G.
Creiger. of Chicago. Treasurer Thompson
will get his accounts ready for this commit
tee, when they will be properly audited
and made public through the proper cham
nels.
The famous letter Of Governor Beaver to
Chairman McCreery, relative to the disposi-
ton of that $125, 900, was not considered,
though the members talked about 1t in a
good natured way after the adjournment
The meeting adjourned to meet again at the
call of the Chair.
