FATAL EFFE cts OF tn E ELIXIR.
In John Barth's Case it Proved to be
the Elixir of Death.
From the Neto York Sun

FROM the NeiO York Sun.
HARRISBURG, Sept. AFTER dozen or
more experiments in this city with the
Brown-SeQuard elixir. its effects have at
last proved fatal to one of the city hospital
patients All the tests which have been
made here were upon persons who applied
at th9 hospital. Among those who applied
was John Barth, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of this place. For five years he has
been u sufferer from complication of dis
eases. Long ago be was compelled to give
up lucrative business on account of ill
health, and he was gradually growing more
fee lie. Several times within the last four
years his physicians and friends have given
him up as hopelessly ill, but each time lie
rallied, became a little stronger, and was
able to TAKE short walks.
1t was during one of these spells of con-
valeScenCe about q month ago that he de-
termlned to apply at the hospital for an
injection OF the elixir of life. The first in
lection was made and its good results
astonlshed him. On his way home ne was
heard TO remark that he felt like young
Tnau again, and his glee gratified his friends
| A few days ago he visited the hospital a
second time and the experiment was re-
| peated. For a short time Mr.. Bartn felt in
| vigorated but it did not last long. He
went home aud took to mis- bed, and u short
time atterward he became unconscious. At
the end of forJy-elght hours he died. lie
| suffered great pain before he became IN
| con .cious, and during the last few hours of
| his sickness his skin turned to q deep yellow
| color. After he died the color changed 10 q
| black, and even in ice his body could not be
| preserved longer than two days. Yester
| day Lie was buried.

DIVORCE.

So patent and so potent have become the evils arising from our lax laws con- corning marriage and divorce that every christian body in the land has spoken in favor of stringent regulations to coun- teract the demoralization which has like a flood possessed the land. In Connecti- cut, the land of steady habits, there is one divorce to ten marriages, besides the many separated couples who have not taken advantage of the opportunity of which for few paltry dollars they can avail themselves and which would make them free to marry again. The case with which divorced party can avoid a state probition by going into another state to be married is illustrated by Judge Noah Davis, who cites how a man by taking advantage of the mar riage and divorce laws of several of our states may leave at his death four wid ows all entitled to dover of greater or less extent ill his property.
 The leading papers and reviews have lately been giving especial attention to the subject from tho pens of eminent persons. In the number of the North American Review for November it was discussed by such men as Cardinal Gib bons Bishop Henry c. Potter and Robert Ingersoll. In the December number is a notable contribution from Gladstone who in his first paragraph says: "I incline to think that the future of America is of greater importance to Christendom at large than that of any other country that that future, in it's highest features, vitally depends upon the incidents of marriage and that no country has ever been so directly chal- lenged as America now is to choose its course definitely with reference to one, if not more than one, of the very greatest of these incidents.
 His words suggest the mortifying fact that this nation, the most enhghtened d in the world, the most moral and sup posedly the most religious, has opened wide the flood gates of immortality by this la1ity till it cannot compare with any European nation in the protection to the family.
 Various remedies have been suggested and proposed, most of which have been half-hearted ones so far as their power of remedying the evil is concerned. The only Protestant body legislating on the subject is the Episcopal church, which forbids its clergy to officiate at the marriage of divorced persons, excepting the innocent party divorced for adultery of the other party; and excommunicates any of it's members who divorced for their adultery have been subsequently

MECHANICS AND INDUSTRIES.

THE gold mined in Australia and neighboring islands in 1888 was valued at s5, ,5O3, 553.
 IN Great Britain the quantity of coal dust remaining unemployed annually is calculated at 2S,000,0O tons.
 THE Westinghouse Electric Company is now organizing companyin England for tho purpose of manufacturing and selling it's patented appliances.
 THERE is great rush of Northern skilled labor into the Southern States, where better wages and moro profitable opportunities arc offered. Alabama is the favorite field.
 A NEW and valuable fiber is said to have been found in the stalk of tho okra plant, of which two crops per yearean be raised in Florida. It is said to be superior to jute or sisal hemp. IN Hull, England, common painters get fourteen cents per hour; in Leeds, Bradford, etc., fifteen, and in London from sixteen to seventeen. A tive-room house costs five dollars per month.
 MoLns for casting iron can only be made in sand. Iron or other metallic molds chill the iron, and it does not fit we'll. The great heat at which iron melts will burn any other material or will stick so as to break. the mold A SYSTEM of building houses entirely of sheet iron has been communicated to the Society of Architecture in Paris. The walls, partitions, roofs and vain | scotting are composed of double metal 1 lie sheets, separated by an air mattress, which is surrounded by different non- | conductors of heat.
 THE great increasing demand for | electric lighting for the streets of cities | andatowns, as well as factories, public | buildings, etc., and the consequent growing familiarity of the public with | tho subject, makes it imperative for | parties who are furnishing themselves or others with electric lights to look not only to the first cost, but also to tho efficiency of tho apparatus, and deter mine the saving at the end of the year. THE great and little manufacturers all | over the country are crowded with shop, mill and factory work, and overtime is quite common in cities and towns. Iron and steel arc advancing in price. Steel rails have gone up four dollars per ton in four months; pig iron one dollar per ton; nails ten cents per keg. Hardware
 has advanced, and tho fear now is that prices will take another advance and alarm and check enterprise, which is proverbially timid.

THE MESSAGE

Had President Harrison submitted his message, before making it public, to some level-headed editor possessed of strong right arm and blue lead pencil, the document would have been prompt ly boiled down one-half and at the same time greatly improved. The length of the message is much greater than its worth warrants. It is dull, commonplace and timid, and in striking contrast tc the bold utterances of President Cleve- land.
 The president agrees with MT Cleye- land that the receipts of the treasury should be limited to the needs of the government as closely as possible, and urges congress to take the necessary steps toward reducing the surplus, promptly but considerably. By this the writer probably means that he favors tariff rivision wherever it can be done without mourning the displeasure of tariff enriched monopolists. The repeal of the internal tax upon tobacco Is re- commended; also the tax upon spirits uSeu III tile dItS, II tIe tdA upou tIeiA can be repealed without increasing fraud.
 It will be observed that the presi- dent tries to please everybody and to ride two horses on more than one great question. As result he will find that he has pleased nobody. He favors a mixed currency of gold and silver, but fears the peril of free coinage of silver. The recommendation of the secretary of the treasury that silver bullion shall be received and certificates issued upon it, he is not ready to recommend.
 Upon the Chinese question the presi- dent takes decided ground. The eNclu- sion of the Chinese is demanded, he says, by our supreme interests. This is diamet- rically opposite to the course taken by him when Ill congress. The execution of the civil service law, in the face of the almost total disregard of the laws by his administration, Is alluded to as pleasant duty. The plan to pension all honorably discharged veterans who are now unable to provide for themselves by reason of disease or casualty is indorsed. The pan-American congress is regarded as hopeful event. Our declining shlp- ping interests the president would revive by liberal subsidies. Trusts, he says. should be made subjects of penal legis- lation.

married to another. By this legislation the Episcopal church permits the re- marriage of the innocent party. The Catholic church so interpretes the words of Christ, "Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder," that it forbids divorce, while it recognizes the necessity of separation "rrom bed and board" in extreme cases. But as this is not divorce, the hope of re- marriage is denied all such.
 The fact that it is impossible for all the states to agree on a law has led to the proposition that the nation legislate on the subject If congress should attempt to do so the result could hardly be more than an effort to minimize the number of causes for which divorce should be granted, and while the evil would thereby be mitigated it would not be stamped out. South Carolina has the proud distinction of prohibiting all divorce. Let congress rise to the height of its opportunity and enact such law, and till that is done, the discus cated up to that level. Meanwhile the various bodies of Christians may well consider the stand taken by the Catholic church which includes one-slxth of the population of the nation, and note the utterance of its late lay congress on this very point. Here is a field on which Catholics and Protestants can unite their forces with the result that the nations law makers will hear and heed their demand for the preservation of the family by the one known method, absolute prevention of absolute divorce, with separation in cases of infidelity and inhumanity, but in case more than a separation which precludes all
