TROUBLES AMONG CHINAMEN.
A Bitter Conflict Being Wa ged Between Tw
Glasses at Chicnro.

Bitter Conflict Being Wa ged Between Two
Glasses at Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 10.-The case which, it is
alleged, involves Chinese Highbinders'
conspiracy, came up in police court this
morning. The defendant was Charley Sing,
an employe of All Suey. 1t appears that
some Cinnamon entered the store in which
ne was employed and demanded the cash
box, and that he drew revolver in defend
ing his employers property; that the police,
when they made the descent, pounced on the
wrong man, allowing the robbers to escape.
All of this and more was stated BY Wong
Chin Fo, the well-known Chinese lawyer
and journalist of New York, who came here
to defend Charley Sing.
For some time, Wong said, the hard
working Cinnamon in the city have been
preyed upon by set of thriftless Mongo-
lians too lazy to work and desperate enough
to obtain money in any other way. These
cases have never been reported to the police,
as the Mongolians put little faith in the
justice afforded by the law. There was no
prosecution, and Charley was discharged. It
is claimed that when Wong Chin Foo ar
rived here an attempt was made to buy him
off Wong declared that there is a scheme
on foot among the rich Chinese grocerymen
to drive out the smaller dealers by employ
ment of thugs.

SHE CRIED FOR HELP.
A Deluded Woman Dies in Agony Under
the Care Of Faith Healer.

Deluded Woman Dies in Agony Under
/. the Care of Faith Healer.
SYRACUSE, May 1O.-MrS Royal E. Fox
died the day before yesterday. The re-
sponsibiIity for the fatal termination of her
illness is laid by public opinion at the door
of what is called Christian science.
Mrs. Fox had been subject to bilious at
tacks for several years. When the first one
came on DR.. Jay W. Sheldon was called.
When the patient had begun to recover she
was left in the charge of DR.. E. H. Flint.
Mrs. Fox was to some extent believer in
Christian science at that time, and her hus-
band was, as he is yet, Every firm in the
faith, to quote an expression used to-day
by one of the friends of the family. During
a recurrence of her illness some weeks ago
Mrs. Fox relied entirely upon Christian
science, Mrs e. P. Bates attending her, and
she got better. She was told then that hay
ing once been cured by Christian science
she would be free from the malady there
after, and she entirely believed it.
Last Saturday the disaese came on again
with unusual severity. Mrs Bates was out
of town, and another apostle Of Christian
sclence-Mrs. Norris-was called. Mrs.
Fox's daughters urged that physician be
called, but their entreaties went for nothing.
Mr.. Fox had 1nbounded confidence in
Christian science as curative power and
felt sure his wife would again recover. The
patient it is said, suffered terribly, and frc-
quently called out in her agony, ST must
have helpi must have helpl" She was
told that all she needed was courage, and
she would be sure to triumph over the NAL
ady. Mrs. Fox took scarcely any nourish.
ment during the attack. DR.. Flint was
summoned 1T the last moment.
"When l entered the house." he said TO-
day, MRS. Fox had just passed away. The
body was still warm, but there were NO
signs of life. I was called to make out the
death certificate, 1 suppose. 1 assigned as
the cause OF death Inflammation of the
liver"
DR.. Flint expressed the opinion that if
Mrs. Fox had been allowed her own way
she would have had the services of physi-
clan. One of the neighbors said that the
body Immediately. after death was ',all
twisted up" its positlon leading her to
believe that Mrs. Fox was writhing in agony
when she died.

Publishing Names.

A word Of remark may not be out Of place
regarding the publishing Of the names Of
patients treated and cured. While such
publication is made each week in the daily
papers, and the name and address of the pa
tient given, so that the statement can be
easily verified and substantiated by any
one, it should be said that all such state
ments are entirely voluntary.
81 should like to be treated, lady ro-
marked the other day, but l would not
like to have my name in the paper.
Let it be stated that Drs. Cope
land & Blair never publish name
or statement without the full and free
consent of the patient, nor do they publish
one hundredth part of the testimonials,
letters and statements received by them from
grateful patients. As observed, the state
ments given are entirely voluntary, and are
given by the patients for publication. Drs.
Copeland & Blair would never publish the
most emphatic testimonial unless the
patient giving it understood that it was 70
be printed, and gave willing consent.

and 1 would feel weak and tired when L
woke up in the morning. One minute 1
would feel feverish and the next would seem
to be freezing.
"My eyes became weak. They would
be dim and watery after reading a few min

the soreness and discharge from my head
and throat, the pains in my chest and head
and my loss of strength, felt very sick in-
deed.
81 was discouraged and thought nothing
could be done for me, but having read the
statements of patients who had been cured
by DIR. Blair and his associates, decided to
see them. They told me my trouble was catarrh
and that my case was durable one.
~ placed myself under the treatment and I
began to improve steadily. The headaches and
pains IN my chest disappeared. My nose and
throat are clear, l sleep well and have galnedin
strength and weight. My complete recovery
was an agreeable surprise to me-"

CHICAGO, May 1O.-The condition of the
Cook County Insane Asylum, which was
looked into by the Coroner and the grand
jury last week through the death of Robert
Burns, a patient, as result of brutal treat
ment by attendants, was brought to the at
tention of the County Court to-day. A
petition was filed by Miss Julia A. Willard,
who asks that her sister Dora may be re-
moved from the asylum. Miss Dora is said
to be lovely young woman. Her age, the
petition sets forth, is II years, and she has
been an inmate of the asylum nearly year
under an order of the county as person of
unsound mind.
The petitioner states that the Cook County
Institute for the Insane is an institution
built for the accommodation of 800 or 600
patients; that there are In the bospitaI about
1000 patients and it is so crowded that it is
impossible to give the patients the accom-
modatlons necessary for the proper care of
their health and treatment of their mental
disorders; that there is not a sufficient medi-
cal torce and force of attendants, and that
the food is Of poor quality, badly prepared
and OF insufficient quantity; that on account
of the crowded condition of the institution
patients are huddled together indiscrimi-
nately; the vicious with the virtuous; the
violently insane with the mildly demented,
with the consequence that great bodily,
mental and moral harm results.
The petitioner AYERS that her sister has
been compelled to occupy the same narrow
cot-onlY 2 feet 8 inches wide-with a
woman of depraved mind, and that as a con-
sequence she has acquired the habit of using
6lasphemous and scandalous language. The
Court granted an order on the superintend-
ent to show cause why the petition should
not be granted.

street cars to stay back; but when they were

Mr.. Gowen-Ahl Then that is the pro-

motives, etc., and had complained, he
thought, to Mr. Baldwin.

ject, and thought the managers of the road
had been interviewed on the subject. Mr..
Peterson here produced the following petit
tion, which he had mailed to Mr.. Baldwin:

W. A. BALDWIN, Manager:
DEAR SIR-We, the undersigned residents
on West Park, Allegheny, would respectfully
call your attention to the fact that your trains
are again stopping on the park and causing a
great nuisance by the screaming and escaping
of steam, switching, etc. This occurs most fre-
Quently in the evening and at night, and is at
all times, as you are aware, contrary to the city
ordinance. While we give you credit for what
has been done in the past, we must protest
against the renewal of this nuisance, and re-
sDectfully call your attention thereto. lSigned
by Ormsly Phillips Henry Irwin James Pat
ton, Jr., c. G. Donnell, Ed. Gregg, ]. Lockhart,

NOVEMBER 8, 1882
John S. Hampton, member of the ALE
gheny bar, knew of the complaints, and In
terviewed Mr.. Bs'7Ein, and frequently
wrote to him on the subject of having the
whistiing, etc., stopped. Mr.. Baldwin
thereupon directed Mr.. Starr to issue the
order preventing bells being rung and whis-
ties blown by the trains while crossing
Federal street and the park.
A number of letters between Mr.. Baldwin
and Mr.. Hampton were read, and also one
to Mr.. Starr, directing him to issue the or

BILE POISONED BLOOD,

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks, more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action of the Liver is interfered with. causing
an overflow of bile into the blood. The blood
carries this bile into every part of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
ETC., and often serious cases of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses of Burdock Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance of bilious symptoms, will remove
them and protect the system from a probable
serious attack
