DR.. Brown-Seouard Still Confident.
A few months ago nearly everybody was
talking about the Brown-Sequard elixir,
but now it is very rarely mentioned, and
when it is, the reference is generally in the
nature of ridicule. The experiments which
were made with the alleged tonic in this
country were not so successful as to estab-
lish the merits claimed for it. Indeed.
majority of those who made them probably
concluded that its dangers to human life
were greater than its merits. The tact that
they did not continue their Investigations
shows this.
DR.. Brown -Sequard, however, retains all
of his former confidence in his tonic and it
may even be said that he believes more
strongly than ever that in time it will
occupy the position of the most succ sssful
invigorator known to the medical profess
sion. In an interview the other day he
repeated his statement that he did not
claim for it that it was an elixir of life. It
would not forever rob the grave of its vic
tim, but it would prolong life by impartng
renewed strength to weakened constitu-
ton. He referred to the experiments upon
fits received. Although he was 70 years
old, and although before taking the tonic
into his system he was SO feeble that his usual
days work completely exhausted him. he
was now able to do as much work as he did
when he was co. and he did it without be-
coming very tired. Tests made with a
dynamometer showed q decided gain of
strength. He emphasized the fact that
great care must be taken in making
the experiments. While the operation
was simple, it should be undertaken with
as much caution as if it were difficult. The
doctor thought that before long the tonic
would come into general use BY physicians,
but this may be the view of an enthusiast.
Its merits will have to be shown much more
clearly before it is again taken up by physi-
clans in even an experimental way.

MISS FRANCIS E. WILLARD, thor
ough lady though she is, is a crank OF
considerable magnitude. Her latest
scheme is to force the Pullman Car
company to abolish the smoking rooms
of the sleepers. AS the smoking rooms
are entirely separated from the rest of
the car. the only objection must be
tlat they contribute more comfort TO
the masculine travellers. But Miss
Willard says she can detect faint doors
of tobacco smoke in the body of the
car and on that plea she insists upon
the total extinction of masculine COM
fort. Her case is like that of lady
who complained to base ball manag-
er that the robing tent was so placed
that she could see the players in a too
scanty costume. The manager moved
the tent to the other end of the ground
and the lady wrote thanking him for
his courtesy, but added: Your efforts
have been without avail, inasmuch as
/ can see all that is going on, by the
aid of my opera glass.

LONDON, Oct. 11.-Attachments
were issued in Paris yesterday against
the property of nine of the directors of
the bankrupt Compton D'Escompte
which was ruined by che failure of the
copper corner. Six of the responsible
directors of the institution are now
imprisoned, having been convicted of
violating the banking law in advanc-
ing the funds of the bank at loans up
on copper certificates. The directors
and accountants were sentenced to pay
to the liquidators of the bank for the
benefit of its creditors, the sum of
EGO, 900, and to stand committed until
the amount is paid. This means life
sentences for most of those convicted, as
they were themselves ruined by the
calamity their illegal action brought
upon the bank. Several of the direc-
| tors who are involved in the sentence
took no active part in the manage
ment of the institution and though
technically guilty with the rest really
knew nothing of the recklessness witt
which the money of the institution was
staked upon gambling venture. Eff
forts are being made to secure relief
for these men from the terms of The
sentence. and they will in all probabil
| ity be successful.

RAND AbE,S SERIOUS ILLNESS.
1t begins to be feared by many Of his
friends that the public career Of Sam
uel J. Randall is ended. Toward the
close of the Fiftieth congress he was
taken suddenly iii, and confined to his
house for several months. During
large part Of the debate on the Mills
bill in the house, he was absent. and
even when the measure came up for
final passage he was unable to be in his
seat and cast his vote against it, as he
desired to do. subsequently his health
improved somewhat, although not suf-
fcently to allow him to take any active
part in the canvass. No serious ter
minatlon of his illness. however, was
apprehended at that time. The fact.
to be sure, tnat the hoped for return of
health and strength failed to appear
was an unfavoraDle featurein the case.
And now his condition has taken such
a turn for the worse that the grayest
fears for the outcome are beginning to
be felt.
i The loss of Mr.. Randall at this time
would be serious blow to the Demo
crazy. It is true that on all questions
affecting the tariff or internal revenue
system he has usually been opposed tC
the dominant section of the organiza
tion to which he belongs. But those
who imagine on this account that h'

crat seriously err in their estimate o

Kansas produced only IL. 900 bushels
of salt in 1881. This year she takes
her place among the large producers,
and it is rock salt that is the main
source of supply, though ether
sources are TO be utilized soon. The
rock salt was first struck at Ellsworth,
at a depth of $50 feet, in August 1887;
at Hutchidson, north of the Arkansas
river, little later at depth of 40
feet; at KingmaB, the same year, at
765 feet; December =, at Lyons, at 7S5
feet; the same month, at Anthony. at
925 feet. In 1888, salt finds were made
at Nickerson. Great Bend and Sterling.
