ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
WASHINGTON, September 13.-All oay
long the efforts of the news gatherers "ere
directed toward getting from the oecre'"iS
of the Interior some statement OF the CORES
pondence that had passed between hlm anu
the Commissioner of Pensions, as it was
thought it would afford an insight ln'o ine
true inwardness of the trouble; out up W "
late hour tonight the labors OF the most IN
innate friends of the Secretary had failed 10
make any impression on him, and not a
word of the correspondence was fortncom-
ing. This is wanted very much, as 1t is the
only clew to the bottom of the mystery, Dut
il is probable that the only influence tnat
will bring it out is the circulation OF intem-
perate structures of the administrator ny
the friends of Tanner.
General Warner, of Missouri, arrived
here at about 8 o'clock this afternoon ana
held consultation with Secretary noble,
but did not see the President. 10 De away
from interviewers he is out at country no
tel at Forest Glen, nine miles from tne
city. and he is therefore not easily reached,
He has not decided whether he will accept
the position of Commissioner OF Pensions or
not. but will probably reach conclusion
tomorrow, when he will have consulta-
ton with the President and the Secretary
of the Interior -
A great pressure is being brought to bear
on the General to accept the position by he
pablicans who regret the trouble IN the
Pension Office, and who desire that it shall
be passed with as little turmoil in the party
as possible. These think that the acceptance
of the Office by the late Commander OF the
Grand Army would be the surest obviation
of all chance of serious kick, though most
of the members of the body in this city ap-
pear to think that the administration knows
what it is about and must have had a good
reason for the prompt removal of the Com
missioner, as the change occurred on the eve
of important elections.
There is little or no doubt that General
Warner has been rendered the office and
there seems to be quite general hope that
he will accept the place. This hope is ex-
pressed by Democrats as we'll as Republi-
cans.
Secretary Noble said tonight that there
was nothing new to say concerning the ap-
pointment of successor to Mr.. Tanner.
The report of the commission that exam
ined the administration of the pension bu-
reau under the Secretary's orders, will be in
print tomorrow, and copy furnished Mr..
Tanner. He has already seen it in manu-
script Whether or not it will be made
public is not yet determined.

They were sitting on the piazza of the
hotel at the beach, watching the moon as it
slowly rose out Of the slumbering sea.
Silence was around them, naught being
heard save occasionally the faint clatter of
dishes in the adjacent restaurant, or the
musical hun Of an aristoeratic mosquito
that was making as vain a search for
blue-blooded person as Diogenes did for an
honest man. It was the hour for love, sweet,
pure, delicious love. The youth felt it in
his soul as he sat there by the side of the
beautiful maiden, whose silken hair almost
touched his shoulder. Suddenly he spoke
in low, but thrilling and passionate tones:
''To the poetic temperament, to the soul
that is capable of feeling the tenderest emo
tions, that throbs in unison with the har-
mony of nature, and is susceptible to the
influences of the beautiful, there is pecu-
liar fascination in scene like this. The
balmy air, the rising moon, the twinkling
stars, the coDtiguity Of one of the fairest OF
creations most perfect work, all unite to
awaken in the heart its softest, sweetest, ten
derest feeling-love. Don't you think so,
Mehitable?"

very select audience composed of personal

Everything had gone smoothly until the
grand climax was reached when RaukshaD

drunken slumber. He has long black
whiskers and is clad in overalls and
dirty flannel shirt. Everybody has with

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
How a Man Feels When a Swordsman Cuts
Apples on His Head.

How a Man Feels When a Swordsman Cuts
Apples on His Head.
Sidney NJ. Lowrie in Globe-Democrat.l
1 once let professional swordsman cut
apples in two while I held them on my
my head and on the palm of my hand, and
I'll never do 1t again. The experience is too
thrilling for the plain citizen who is not
military in his tastes. 1 was with a show
when the regular assistant of the swords
man went on strike, and the swordsman
vas in dreadful fume as he thought of dis
appointing the crowd Of spectators that
night. He came behind the scenes at re-
'hearsal and called for volunteer. "I'll
give $25 to the man who'll hold the apple
for me-" said he. No one volunteered. and
I daringly put in my oar. 'I'll do it if you
give me a rehearsal" "No rehearsal"
said he emphaticaIIy, '1t will snatter your
nerves so that you'll tremble like an aspen
leaf when you come out at the perfor-
nance"
So went out when night came, the upper
part of my body covered with thin silk
vest. 1t was cold, anyway, and trembled
abominally. He saw it, but said nothing to
me. held the apple on my extended hand,
and it shook. 1 could feel it shaking, and
felt ashamed, but I couldn't control the
nervousness. turned away my head; he
made few rapid feints, and knew by the
applause that the apple had fallen.
didn't feel the blade at all as it cut through.
Then 1 knelt down, and he put another ap-
pie on my neck. 1 knew this was really
dangerous, for if his hand slipped he might
decapitate me. shut my eyes. In
second, which seemed an hour to me, felt
a thin cold line touch my neck, and there
was more applause.
SIN that instant thought of Nine. Rol-
and and the guillotine, and came near faint
ing. He told me to get up, and L followed
him, feeling rather dazed, to the dressing
room. l thought must be cut, the touch
of the steel had been so plainly felt, but
the looking glass showed me that there was
not mark on me. But was awfully pale.
The next night we got regular mau to hold

Sick Headache

is complaint from which many suffer
L and few are entirely free. Its cause
is Indigestion and sluggish liver, the
cure for which is readily found in the
use of Ayers Pills.
AT have found that for sick headache,
caused by disordered condition OF the
stomach, Ayers Pills are the most 10
liable remedy."-Samuel C. Bradburn,
Worthington, Mass.
"After the use Of Ayers Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
! am justified in saying that they are an
excellent cathartic and liver medicine
sustaining all the claims made for them"

THE FRAIL CROWN PRINCE.
A UNIVERSAL PANACEA.
A French savnnt Proposes to Cure All Ills
by Using the Mirror.

A French savnnt Proposes TO Cure All Ills
by Using the Mirror.
From the London Globe.I
A French cotemporsry gives an account
of a cure for all sorts and conditions of all
ments, of which (the cure, not the ailments)
M. lie Docteur Luys, member of the Acade-
my of Medicine, is the inventor. The pa
tient, epileptic, hysteric, paralytic, nervous,
or what not, is introduced to mirror which
is suddenly set going SO rapidly as to
seem to the astonished sufferer to be
a single point of intense light. The rays,
coDyerglng horizontally upon the victims
eye, send him into state of unconscious
ness in some cases SO quickly that he seems
to have been struck by lightning, and from
this state he comes to himselt-cured. 1t
seems also that the treatment may be en-
ploved as an an@sthetic, in case of opera
tions; and, in short, there appears to be no
limit to the extent of the last new medico-
surgical miracle.
Into the details of the process we have not
entered very carefully, seeing that it seems
connected in some way with the mysteries
of hypnotism. Possibly, however, there
may be profounder interest in the matter
than has been revealed even to M. Luys.
There has always been something magical
about mirrors, ever since their first inven-
ton-it is supposed by Eve; and the wiz
ards of the middle ages, though vastly in
ferior fellows to their nineteenth century
successors, turned out articles in the magic
mirror line of unquestionable quality.
Still, accepting the cases of cure claimed BY
DR.. Luys, and without discounting them on
the score of their being more or less con-
nected with what professional invalids call
"the nerves." one is tempted to think that a
good deal may be done by astonishing ones
patient, with less scientific apparatus than
a rotating mirror.
Suppose, for example, physician were
to suddenly direct, not pencil of concen-
trated rays, but his own fist into his
patients eye. Would not that patient con-
slider that further visits to his physician
were no longer needful? And might not
even the typical paralytic be endowed with
sufficient strength to return the treatment?
II this seems an unfair way of dealing with
a serious subject, one can very fairly reply
that the world has had enough of medical
magic, which has been from time immemor-
isl symptom of periods of medical uncer-
tsinty.
