Soldering on Drunken Men.

Passing by a Turkish bath room at a
late hour the other night I noticed two
hslf-drunken men going il 70 take baths.
Returning the same way sometimes later
\ saw these two men coming out appar-
emily sober and fresh looking. Having
my curiosity aroused, I aCcosted the pro
pr,etOr as 10 what he had done for them.
He said: 1--WE gave them baths and rubbed
them down in the regular way. II sobers
a man up and puts him in a condition &c
go home to his family without giving him
self away as having made a night of it. l
make a s.. .ialty of this thing, and keep
open all ight ] usually treat about
twslve or t.teen such men every night. p

ANIMAL POISON

Thr fearful increaae in mortality result
ing from the bites OF rabid animals is
alarming. and the fact that there have
been fatal results from the bites of ami
mails which had exhibited no signs of
rabies, adds to the alarm. The case in
Walton county, Ca, is an instance. The
poison was communicated by the bite of
an ordinary house cat, which had never
seemed to be mad. The reporter heard
yesterday of remarkable case of lady
who was poisoned by fondling and kissing
poodle dog The dog had distemper, and
died of it, and the lady's blood was poison
cd to degree that b body was broken
out in great ulcers and sores from head to
foot. From beautiful, healthy woman
she soon wasted to mere skeleton, suffer-
ing great agony. No treatment benefited
her until on the 2Sth of February she COM
menced to take Swift's Specific Is. S. s.,
which at once begun to force out the
poison, and she is now getting well
rapidly.

this service they also run elegant free re-
Ginning chair cars and handsome day

quickest line under one management be-
tween Wichita and St. Louis, and has for
years furnished to its patrons an unsur

dependent upon connecting lines to make
a through route as is the case with other
lines consequently the delays so vexatious
to travellers are not encountered. Only
one change of cars to Boston, New York

WHAT CONGRESS COSTS.

The American people have learned
that many things come high, but
we must have Them" and one of
these is good government. 1t is a
comfort, however, to know that
though some of these items may seem
extravagant, good government, all
things considered, comes cheaper than
bad government There are just 4O1
members of the house and of the SEN
ate, and to wait upon them and run
errands and hold open the doors as
they pass in and out, and carry the
cards of their callers, and take care
of the thousands of bills they put in,
they have employed about 400 peO-
pie, who are paid the snug little sum
of $6S4,O for doing So Every
member has one employee, and for the
service of the same there is paid an
average of about 81 800 each A to-
tai of $3SO,OOO is required to pay the
salaries of the senator's, and for the
compensation of the members of the
house 81 ,695, 900 is to be provided,
and this brings the salaries of our ma
t1Onal lawmakers to a total of over
So 600, 600 per year. 1t costs little
less than $50, 900 per session to pay
the mileage of the members, and the
country pays $4,000 to purchase
the stationery for members and Off
GERS of the house alone in any one SEES
sion. The treasury pays $50, OOOfor
reporting the debates, whether con-
gress sits for one month or for twelve,
as the official reporters, like most of
the clerks, are paid by the year,
though they seldom do more than
twelve months work in the twenty
four months that make up a congress

An AMPLE APOLOGY.

Through some unaccountable care
lessness in the composing room of a
rural journal the obituary of one of
the towns Invest citizens crept into
the paper one morning. 1t was not
many hours after the issue of the edi-
ton that the ''lamented" himself
crept into the sanctum, and vigor-
ously demanded correction in the
next mornings paper. 1t appeared
as follows:
Our yesterdays edition contained
the announcement of the death of
our esteemed fellow-townsman Colo
mel Jones. 1t is with profound re-
greet that we state that our announce
ment was premature. The Colonel
still lives, and we beg to assure him
not only of our distinguished consid
Grafton, but that it shall be our con-
slant effort to see that he shall not
be annoyed in this manner again
until the last dread hour has in very
truth arrived. To this end we have
ordered the standing obituary of Col
onel Jones to be distributed. - Har-

Seems to take lot of telegraph
ing to stop a train, said the desper-
ado uneasily.
1T does. You see the train is be-
hind time and they don't want to
stop. | told them that there was a
special that would pass her here
Now I'll have to move about a bit
| must cut off the wire to Center
city. If don't they may telegraph
to the dispatcher's office about that
special and then it would be all up
with u.s.
That's right; go ahead"
well, don t let that revolver go off. "
The telegrapher went to a drawer
and took out piece of wire and to
one end attached a pair of scissors.
The other end he connected with the
big wire from BlOomville. He fused
around the switchboard and then
took pail of water and said: Look
out for your feet. l must damp
down the floor SO that there will be
no dust to interfere with the inStru-
mentS.
Water won't hurt anything out
side of me" said the man; I'D hate
to try it inside, though
Having wet the floor the operator
sat down to the table again. ''Klick-
a-lick," went the instrument Next
instant there was a binding flash of
greenish light in the room The man
started to his feet.
"Thunderv' he cried whats
that ?''
you struck it the first time Thun-
der somewheres I'm afraid it will
interfere with us. But | can fix it
Hand me that screwdriver, quick"
The screwdriver was handed, but
all the time the pistol covered him.
The visitor was a man to be taken
off his guard. Warner worked with
the screwdfiver moment and then
said sharply: Gimme them scissors.
Hurry up
The outlaw reached for the scis-
sors and the next instant with a
yell he sprang towards the ceiling
and fell in Il heap on the floor.
Throw up your hands, you vii
LAIN" cried Warner, pointing his own
pistol at him.
The whole gang were induced to
return to Bloomville shortly after
detroit Free Press.
