One kind OF advertising stacks high
sounding adjectives regardless Of their pro-
priety, the other presents plain statements
OF interest TO the public. Ii is customary
for every railroad to advertise itself us the
shortest, quickest, cheapest, best and all
thc other 'csts." In keeping with their
reputation for taking the first step Of adj
yanccment in every line OF railroad con-
duct, the Pennsylvania Lines were the
first TO drop the high flown methods Of adj
vertising and 10 give their advertisements
a simple and digniied tone. Ii is we'll
known that the track, equipment and
methods Of operation OF this railway sys-
TEN are Of such nature as to elicit the adj
miration OF patrons and competitors alike.
About all that Is, therefore, necessary for
the Pennsylvania officers TO do in the way
OF advertising is 10 announce the time Of
their trains In the description OF the fast
trains that leave Cincinnati every day Tor

SYRACUSE, n. Y, March Mrs. Mary
c. Edwards who has just died in this city,
was n believer in the Christian Science
doctrine, and herself proiesscd TO effect
cures through The agency Of faith. About
six weeks ago she went TO Utica 10 treat q
patient. While on her way to thc cans to
return home she fell and broke here lip.
She was Immediately brought her, aud
two physicians were called in and reduced
the fracture. Then the Christian Scientists
took charge Of the case, the patient being
attended 10y Als. Ellen 7. Cross, principal
Of the Academy OF Christian Science in
this city, and another disciple Of the
school. Mrs. Edwards grew worse. aud
regular physicians were again called, but
they could not save her life They say
that their failure was due 10 the interference
OF the Christian Science people. The
Scientists say they could not save the
woman's life for the reason that she did
not have sufficient faith herself when the
crisis came.

New York. March Gen. Adam
Badeau, through a law suit, is again be.
fore the public in connection with his
work upon the life OF Gen. Grant, owing
to an objection on the part of Charles l..
Webster & CO., who were to have pub
lished the book, to certain portion of the
work, Grant in Peace" written by Gen.
Badeau, which they believed would be
painful to Mrs, Grant and her family. The
General asks the court to award him $40, =
500 out of the Golfers of the publishing
house for their failure TO print the book.
The book was subsequently published by
another concern, and Just how the Cen
enl was damaged TO the extent named is
not altogether clear.
Webster & Co., the defendants in tho
suit, were the publishers of Grants Me-
moirs," regarding which Badeau raised
such a storm of public disapprobation
about his ears by his peculiar claim OF be.
ing their compiler. Shortly after the me
moirs were published, Gen. Badeau COM
menced series OF newspaper articles,
which wer syndicaed TO different Jour
nails throughout the country. Webster &
Co. then sent for the literary general and
suggested that they publish the articles for
him in book form. An agreement was
entered into by both parties January %.
1887, by the terms OF which Gen. Badeau
was to receive 81, 900 in advance OF COM
mission OF 30 cents upon each volume of
the book sold The work was to be EN-.
bellished with twenty illustrations and was
TO be retaied at 50 per volume. Webster
d Co. agreed to publish the book in the
same style us Gen. Grants Memoir"
just as everything was proceeding
smoothly Gen. Badeau received u letter
from his publishers inclosing an agree.
ment which, it was stipulated, should be
annexed to their original contract and
which provided that nothing objectiona-
BILE 10 Mrs, Grant should appear in the
work. This riled the General, who as.
serted his dignity of authorship by em-
phatically refusing to agree to the addi-
ton OF the clause 10 the contract
Webster q Co. refused TO publish the
book. After further correspondence the
General warned them that II the work
was not commenced Immediately lac would
demand his manuscript and have II pub
lished elsewhere. This he finally did, and
now he has brought this suit against the
firm for not publishing 1t. Gen. Badeau
is represented by Daniel L. HAYS, and
Webster 4 Co. by Alexander x Green.

A MEAN, L0W-DOWN TRICK
A FIEND FIRES TWO LOADS OF BUCK.
SHOT INTO A TRAIN.
the Discharges Crash Through the
Glasses Of Window, Injuring Sew
eral Passengers, One OF Whom Re-
ceives Severe Scalp Wound.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March THE Cincinnati
express which came in over the Louisville,
New Albany & Chicago Road last evening,
Wrought badly scared lot OF passengers.
Two hours before reaching Chicago the
train was fired upon by an unknown man,
who took deliberate aim at the rear coach,
and sent two loads of buckshot crashing
through the windows. Some of the pas
sengers narrowly escaped serious injury.
The shooting took place at 1870 o'clock in
the afternoon. The train, an unusually
long one was behind time and was run
ming at an unusually high rate OF speed,
not stopping at small stations. When
about mile south OF Rose Lawn, little
station in Indiana, fiity-six miles from
Chicago, the engineer noticed two men
standing near the track. One had double
barreled shotgun. Surprising they were
hunters, he paid no special attention to
them. The men stood motionless until
the last coach was abreast Of them, when
the man with the gun eveled it and fired
both barrels. Ii made loud report, and
the terrified passengers sprang from
their seats as the shot crashed through
the windows and sent shower OF
broken glass flying all over the car. For
an instant they were almost paralyzed with
fear, but, realizing what had happened.
some ran 10 the rear door and saw the man
still standing by the track, almost hidden
by a cloud OF smoke. An instant later the
train sped around curve. One Of the
Passengers jerked the bell cord, but there
was so much slack that the gong in the
locomotive cab did not ring The train
could not be stopped until passenger ran
ahead TO the baggage car, where the con-
ductor was found, and by that time several
miles had been covered, and the conductor
would not run back. An examination OF
the coach showed that the last four win
dows on the left side were smashed to at
oms. The outside OF the car was riddled
with shot, and a handful Of the missiles
was picked up from the car floor. Frag-
ments Of glass were scattered in every di-
rection. Several OF the passengers were
slightly cut on the hands aud face by broken
glass, and l.. 5. Tanner, OF Chicago, found
n shot mbedded in his scalp. The rail-
road company has sent out officers 10 hunt
down the miscreants, II possible.

IMAGINARY DISEASES.

Some persons are continually mag

ease. or that they are likely to fall
victims to one or another Of the ills
which flesh is heir to. This is particu-
larly the case with children OF nerv-
Gus, sensitive or morbid nature The
injury done by such imaginary troubles
TO growing boy or girl is by no means
insignificant They derange the prop
err functions Of the body ard have .

healthy channels in which it ough, to

his heart or some other organ Of the
body, and s,raightway he begins to

or unusual feeling that may occur in
the region where he supposcs the trou-
bic to be located. Every muscular
twitch in that locality i. regarded as
the sure indication of disease. Unless
such 4 condition Of affairs is broken

growth will be impaired. BY taking a
certain amount Of care at The proper
time, the trouble may be largely. if not
wholly. avoided. In the first place,
children ought to hear and know al
most nothing Of disease. Later in life
the knowledge may he valuable TO
them, but when young their proper
function in life is to grow up healthy
in mind and body, and to this end the
child must he cared for and watched

HOW TO BE A GOOD NURSE.

Six things, SAYS a doctor writing on
the subject. are necessary to good
nurse: Strong, equable health, sound
nerve. minute observation, a retentive
memory, habits Of neatness and clean
illness, and calm, collected mind. A
nurse must never disregard her health,
because it is essential to her own we'll
being. and because. too, attendants on
the sick should always be cheerful and
hopeful. Sound nerve is often a matter
of training. but its root lies in unset
tishness. ANY one who, in an accident
or operation, forgets self in the desire
to aid others, will not be troubled by
trembling or fainting. The faculties
of observation and retentiveness of
memory can be developed by having
interest in the work strong enough to
make the nurse careful and patient in
her observations A calm mind is gen
orally the result OF organization.
If a nurse has arranged her work be-
forehand. if she keeps punctually to
| this arrangement, and if everything
needful is neatly disposed. she is not
likely to be discovered 10 hustle and
confusion at any time. The nurse
should, furthermore. be mindful that
she is under the doctor, and should
, respect and obey his directions, even
if she differs in opinion from him. 1t i,
extremely important that those who are
! sick and suffering should be treated
with unfaaing gentleness and patience
nothing can ever excuse a nurse for
J losing her temper with her patient.
No duty is too little or trifing for her
attention, and no work that is good fol
the patient can be degrading. 1t is
further a good rule never to approach
a case fasting but always to have q
good meal before going on duty
