French Drama in Chicago.

The Bernhardt engagement han broughs

Never before had we suspected that there

Us. Gen. Stiles, we have just discovered,
speaks French like q native Of Paris (Ver-
million county,. He attended the "FrOu-
Frou" performance last evening with his
friend Judge Prendergast. The judge is a
proficient Greek and Latin scholar, but he
knows little of French, his vocabulary being
limited to such phrases as "fo par" "liaison,"
"kelky shoze," and "olly bonnur,' so Gen.
Stiles had to explain the play to him as it
progressed last evening.
"Now what is she sayings" the judge would
ask
"She said Good evening"" the general
would answer.
"Does 'bung swor' mean good EVENING""
the judge would inquire
"Yesn
"Oh, what rotl" the Judge would exclaim,

OF FLOWERS.

There were no roses till the first child died.
No violets, no balmy- brea thed heartsease,
No heliotrope, nor buds so dear to bees,
The honey hearted woodbine, no gold-eyea
And white-lashed daisy-flower, nor, stretch
ing wide,
Clover and cowslip-cups, like rival seas,
Meeting and parting as the young Spring
breeze
Runs giddy races playing seek and hide;
For all flowers died when Eve left Paradise.
And all the world was fiowerless awhile,
Until little child was laid in earth;
Then from its grave grew violets for its eyes,
And from its lips rose petals for its smile,
And so all flowers from that child's death
took birth.

The Colonels Of the different regiments Of

THE NEW .. S. COLLECTOR.

Samuel d. WarmcastIe Assumes His Duties
as Collector of Internal Revenue--No
Changes in the Force Until June 80.
Samuel D. Warncastle, who, by virtue OF
being Republican and on the right side,
was recently appointed Collector OF Internal
Revenue for this district, yesterday assumed
the duties of his Office. There wasn't much
ceremony about the affair, and the stepping
up and in of Mr.. Warmcastle succeeded the
stepping down and out of Mr.. Blgler with
out any stumbling on the political stairs.
Mr.. Warmcastle accompanied Mr.. Bigler
to the Office before business hours yesterday
morning, and took the oath of Office as pre-
scribed by Notary Richard Webb. The
business of the Office was then turned over
to the new collector and Mr.. Bigler was
once more, by virtue of being Democrat,
and on the wrong side, private citizen.
Mr.. Warmcastle was asked about changes
in the force of employees, and he said that
none would be made. The same clerical
force was attending to business yesterday,
and all of the deputy collectors were sent
new bonds, which they will be expected to
fill out and return.
From another source it was learned that
the changes will not be made until June 30,
the end of the fiscal year. The reason for
this is that it is desired to have the present
employees close up the years business, with
which they are SO familiar.

DR.. Campbell, of Latrobe, Tells Of That
Fever Case-The state Board Of Health
Ends Its Work. " W
At the closing session of the State Board
of Health yesterday DR.. Campbell, Of
Latrobe, was present in reference to the
death certificate in which a corpse was
shipped from Latrobe to Ohio. he salts
fed the board that the certificate was made
out in good faith, without any intention to
defraud or for any pecuniary reward. The
board decided that it was not-a case Of issu-
ing certificate with false intent but
warned the doctor against giving certificate
without information, either personally or
through an attending physician, OF the
actual disease and history Of the case.
Similar action was taken in the case Of
DR.. Vankirk, Of McKeesport.
The first paper read was by DR.. J. o.
Flower, Of this city, on Hygiene of the
Teeth" He said that the principal cause
of decay of teeth was from injury to the
spine, caused in children by being COM
PEELED to sit in a constrained position while
at school. Good food, air and no confne-
ment in school were suggested as means for
preserving the teeth of children.

DISTANCES IN ALASKA.

You Can Go West From Sitka Further Than
East Without Leaving the United States.
Detroit Free Press.l
"When sat at my desk in sitka," said
Governor Swineford, "I was further from
Attu Island, the westernmost part in Alas
ka, than I was from Portland, Me. This
may serve to give some idea of the prodig-
ious distances of Alaska. But can furnish
more striking one. If the capital of the
United States was located in the center of
the United States-that is to say, at point
equidistant from Quaddyhead, Me-, and
Attu Island, Alaska-it would be in the
Pacific ocean, some 600 miles north by west
of San Francisco"
It is, indeed, an almost boundless empire
that Mr.. Swineford has ceased to govern and
that Fred A Maynard has lost. Few peo-
pie appreciate the colossal size of the Alas
kan dominion of the United States. Even
prominent public men are apt to regard it
as little fringe OF the frozen zone, quite
un worthy of their attention. William s.
Holman once had this idea of Alaska. A
couple of years ago, when Governor Swine
ford was urging the House Committee on
Territories to report favorably on bill to
give Alaska something more than a SEM
blance Of Territorial Government, Mr.. Hol-
man said:
"Well, Governor, my idea Is that Alaska
ought to be made a county Of Washington
Territory. That would be the simplest way
to dispose of the troublesome Russian pur-
chase"
Swineford was mad in minute. He
promptly advised the great objector to go.
and buy some primer geography, and he
never had the patience to discuss the matter
with him again.
It has -ong been said that the sun never
sets on the British Empire. But it is not
generally known that it is equally true that
the sun never sets on the domain of the
United States. It is shining on the Aleu-
tian Islands while it is the dead of night on
Martini Vineyard. The United States laps
nearly half way around the world. 1t ex-
tends from 67o west longitude to 1890 east
longitude. Alaska has between 800, 900 and
900 900 square miles of land surface, and a
great water area. 1t is nearly as large as
the United States east of the Mississippi.
Governor Swineford took journey last
summer of more than 10000 statute miles
without leaving his domain as Governor.
He went on the United States steamship
Thetis, which was placed at his disposal by
the Secretary of the Navy. The journey oc-
cupied four months and five days, being
much longer than the famous exploring ex-
pedition of Governor Cass, which played
part in the early history of Michigan.

Drowning n Companion.

Drowning n Companion.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, June 1.-Patrick Fitzger-
aid, who keeps boats to hire at the foot of
East Eighty-ninth street, stood under his
shed Just before 1 o'clock this afternoon
watching three men who had come up the
East river in row boat The stiff breeze
had roughened the water, but one of the
three men sat in the stern with his hands on
the gunwales aiding the rocking motion of
the boat by swaying his body from side to
side. The man at the oars too, was appar-
emily trying to capsize the boat or see how
much tipping it would stand without ac-
tually going over. Finally he lost his hat.
He pulled up close to it, but before he could
get it the boat went over. spilling its occu-
pants in the river about 100 feet off shore.
: Fitzgerald shouted to Alonzo Jerolomer,
who was on float near by, and Jerolomer
and another man put off in boat to rescue
the three men. Two of them had struck out
for shore, after clinging to the capsized boat
for few moments. The third was drifting
down stream. He was the man who had
sat quietly insthe boat. His head appeared
above the water two or three times, and
then he disappeared. The others were res
cued. They were taken to the police sta
tion and there gave their names as Osborn
NJ ackay and Peter Linden. They said the
man who foated down the river was Corne-
illus Carr, 19 years old, of Williamsburg.
The police sergeant thought they intended
to capsize the boat. and they were held on
charge Of homicide.

Specialist In the Cure Of Rupture and Chronic
Diseases-ofios at Hotel AIbemarIs, Penn

DR.. Woods has had large practice in
this branch of his profession without any
public advertising, but as many who might
have been useful and ornate members OF
society, fill untimely graves, whom he might
have cured BY seasonable treatment and
given them "length of davs" he has long
felt it duty he owes to the afflicted to step
aside from the restrictions OF so-ealled med
ical etiquette and announce to the public

Many years ago DR.. Woods went through
the prescribed course of medical study
with his fellow students, received his
diploma and took an equal stand in the
profession with the best Of his medical
brethren; yet he is fully ,eenvinced from
heightened observation, that beng grad
uate merely gives one no al alEnrance or,

sequent success in practice is the proper
gauge by which to judge of his merits On
this severe and critical test DIR. Woods has
stood and the elevated position he occupies
in the medical profession makes it clear that
his success has been unusual. Profession
ally DIR. Woods relies on his own powers and
resources, and has achieved a remarkable
degree of perfection in diagnosis, which en-
ables him, at a glance, to comprehend ths
complications of obscure, new and anoma-
lous types of disease. He has given years
of devoted study to his practice and effected
such marvellous cures that the greatest as
tonishment has been caused throughout the
country. His services, therefore, are not to
be measured by money; and those who are
afflicted are false to themselves not to avail
themselves to the full of his wonderfully
successful modern method of treatment.
DR.. Woods treatment being mild and
safe, his patients are in no case subjected to
painful or unpleasant operations, and in the
majority ofinstanees they can pursue the
course of treatment directed at their homes
and without interruption to their usual 7oca-
tions. When possible the doctor prefers to
see his patients; but when this is impossible

A RIVAL TO PORTLAND CEMENT.
A New Process to be introduced by
German Chemist.
100000 CAPITAL TO BE INVESTED

Mr.. Charles Spannage1, Of Berlin, Ger
many, is DOW in the city negotiating for the
Introduction into this country of the manu-
facture ola cement, of different chemical
constituents but the same in effect to Port
land cement which is now wholly imported
from Germany and England. DR.. Ludwig
PreuSsner, member of the, Geological
Society of Berlin, IS expected here from the
latter place next Tuesday to work in con-
nection with Mr.. Spannagel. DR.. Preuss-
ner Is practical chemist, who has discov-
cred valuable process of making cement
equal, if not superior, to Portland cement
out of common limestone, clay and some
other constituents obtainable many placesi in
this country.
WHY THEY GAME HITLER.
When told by Mr.. Spannagel of the pros
pect for the new cement and the great de-
mand for it in America, which country had
been visited before by the informant, Mr..
Preussner decided to visit this country and
Mr.. Spannagel came over ahead of him in
his interests
Mr.. Spannagel said he had visited St.
Louis, Indianapolis and various other cities
in different parts of the United States, but

we'll adapted to its manufacture as in Pitts
burg
Several local capitalists have already sig
nifed their intention of joining in the en-
terprise and it is the purpose to establish
cement works as soon as possible near Pitts
burg with capitalization Of about S2OO, 600.
An exact location has not been decided on
yet, but it will be within short distance OF
the city.
The limestone, clay and other ingredients
used in its manufacture are found in abun-
dance in and about Pittsburg, and
THE CHEAP FUEL
will make it possible to manufacture it very
cheap. DR.. Preussner will arrive Tuesday
and make close analysis of the materials
at different points, and the location will be
decided on accordingly.
1t is estimated that the cement can be
easily manufactured for 81 30 per barrel,
while the Portland cement, which has to be
imported, costs So. The duty, ocean and
inland freight on the latter cost about 81 per
barrel. There is now 100000 barrels of
cement imported into the United States, so
there seems to be no danger of a market,
and should the new departure prove sue
cess in every way the saving to builders
will amount up into the millions.
The process will be patented as soon as
possible, and it is proposed to enlarge the
works or establish others as soon as its man
ufacture is introduced into this country.
