WELSH HOME RULE.
An Elaborate Scheme Of Local Self
Government Now Being Agitated.

The leading members OF the welch national
council are considering a scheme Of home rule
for their country, which they hope to induce
parliament to pay some attention to. The chief
points OF the Welsh plan are: A local parlia-
ment in Wales, which shall be elected on the
basis Of household franchise, one member
being allowed to each district Of A, 900 popula-
ton; three-years sessions Of parliament; gov
ernor, to be appointed by the crown, 10 serve
five years, with power to veto any measure
passed by a majority of the local parliament,
such measure. however, if repassed by a two
thirds majority, to be thereupon referred to
the imperial parliament; power of taxation;
raising loans for local purposes; control of the
prisons; the administration of justice and dlrec-
ton OF the police; autonomy in all matters OF
religion, agriculture, labor and education, and
the management of the safe of the crown lands.
The Welsh national council is cooperating In
this matter with the Scotch home rulers for
their mutual purposes, but the Parnellites are
reported as not relishing this scheme of joint
work. They prefer to enjoy monopoly OF
home rule agitation. This, however, is the
sentiment of only a small portion of the more
self-seeking Irishmeu. Mr.. Parneil and the
other leaders are only too glad to welcome any
movement which viii bring the English people
to a full realization of the desirabIlity of home
rule for all the different countries. and Will
thus help to bring about, quietly and COM
pletely, the salvation of Ireland

A FEW SUPERSTITIONS.
SNne Of the stCharms'' Formerly Used
to Prevent sickness.

FROM the HOSPITAL
To allay hemorrhage, a toad, well dried in
the sun and put into a bag, was hung round
the neck by string sufficiently low to touch
the region OF the heart; and a preparation Of
garlic and honey smeared on the person was
said to act as a charm against the bites OF dogs
and reptiles, or the sting Of numerous insects,
likewise effecting their cure. Toothache could
be charmed away by few leaves of the ''shep-
herds purse" placed in the sole of the shoe
on the reverse side Of the body to that in which
the tooth was aching An excellent recipe for
weak or sore eyes was the expressed Juice Of
the calyx of the red honeysuckle; provided

applied as hot as possible to the solss of the
feet. 1t might also be mitigated by the habi-
tual wearing round the neck of an emerald-s
gem equally potent in epilepsy. Precious
stones were accredited with marvellous powers
over the moral qualities and affections, as well
as physical disease-hence the origin of their
being set in rings and worn. The teeth Of old
age were fixed firmly in the gums by an infu-
sion of powdered jet, while water in which the
beryl had been STEPPED afforded a valuable
wash for strengthening the eyes, besides insur-
ing the mutual love OF a welded couple.

SOCIAL SCANDAL IN ST. LOUIS.
Alfred II. Plant, a Wealthy Society Man,

Alfred n. Plant thirty-eight years old, son Of
Geo. j. Plant, millionaire miller of st. Louis,

ing heavily. He wound up in a low den pre-
sided over by Mollie Murphy, who is we'll
known to the police. She took entire possess
sion Of the man and his money and his jeweiry.
She piled him with strong drink until he was
irresponsible. Last Wednesday the woman
Plant with her, drove to the recorders Office
and secured a marriage license. The clerk did
not know Plant. and as he was suffering from
the effects OF drugs il caused some comment
The woman, who equally unknown, ex-
planned that he was sick and that he insisted on
a marriage SO that she could nurse him. The
license was issued and she drove to Justice
Sheehan's Office, where the marriage ceremony
was performed Plants friends heard that he
was associating with disreputable people and
instituted search for him. He was found Sat-
urday in the Mnrphy house and taken in Gus
tody by detective. After an examination by
physicians at police headquarters he was pro-
nounced insane and committed to st. Vincent's
insane asylum, where he is now under treat
ment The escapade caused a big sensation in
commercial and social circles. Justice of the
Peace Jerry Ryan, who performed the cere-
mony, says he knew neither of the parties He
was summoned and went to the woman's house,
where Plant answered all the necessary ques-
tions. He was under the influence OF liquor,
but not more so than other men whom he had
married. Thepoiice learned that the cab driver
who brought the justice to the house was paid
800.
