CONDENSED AIR BATHS.
A Great Remedial Agent Discoy
cred by the HOmeOpaths.


The Homeopathic academy held its
regular monthly meeting last evening at
the residence of Dr.. W. NJ. Lawrence,
SOl Third avenue south. The subject
under discussion was "Condensed Air
Baths as a Remedial Agent" DR.. FL. L.
Stone read very interesting paper on
the subject, in which he said
that after five years. experience
with condensed air as therapeutic
agent he was able to state that it was
grand success. He said these baths had
been used in Germany for several years
with great success, and physicians of
the highest standing, such as Drs.
Won Leibig, Millray, Won Viveno,
Tabarie, ZhonOd. Pidoux and others,
who have used them in their prac
tice, state that the results have
been marvellous, and that through this
agent problem of the greatest impor-
tance to the human race has been
solved. As result of the use of these
baths many thousands of invalids, who
have from some obscure popularity
of constitution or disease been un-
able to receive any benefit from
ordinary medical treatment. have
entirely recovered their health. He read
Il ltUlGI WillCIl Uc lIdu ICCCINSu llOiH III
Won Leibig, in which it was stated that
the results attending the patients who
had patronized the condensed air baths
at Reichenhall, Germany, had been so
gratifying that during the past summer
so many patients had been in attend
ance that they were compelled to wait
from two to three weeks before they
could be attended to. He expressed
himself as believing that when the use
of condensed air baths came in general
use, many persons who are now
supposed to be confirmed lnvalids
would regain their health without the
use of medicine.
After the reading of the paper the
subject was quite thoroughly discussed
by the physicians present until about
10 o'clock, when they were invited by
DR.. Lawrence to repair to the dining
room and partake of a collation. which
they would probably find much more
substantial than condensed air i-

SENSATIONAL ARREST.

Ex-Assistant Secretary of State Cavanaugh,
of Kansas. Arrested For Blackmafl.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. IA sensation was
caused yesterday by the arrest of William
I. Cavanaugh, ex-Assistant Secretary of
State and clerk of the House Ways and
Means Committee, on the charge of at
tempting to levy blackmail. The COM
plainant is G. G. Baker, State Printer.
Three days ago Baker received q letter as
follows:

suited with his friends and decided to try
to capture the blackmailer. He addressed

HISTORY or a SONG.

The Origin Of the ballad. eIisten to tAe
/ Moeh1ag Bazdsn ssssz5fzlss Z
The popular ballad. Listen to tho
Mocking Bird. was written and first
published in 1855 by Septimus Winner.
Of Phihdelphia, under the nom de
plume of .sAlice Hawthorne his
mothers maiden name. It was sug-
gested Incidentally by listening to a
''Whistling Dick" who wandered
about the city whistling in imitation
Of a hooking bird. at the same time
stunning an accompaniment upon
the guitar. Struck by his remarkable
performance as a whistler. Mr.. w.
said to him one day, half in jest,
'.Dick. I'll write you q song for your
hooking bird" The compass of the
negro's voice was hardly an octave,
was made very simple, SO as not to be
beyond his reach. The words, '.lis-
ten to the Mocking Bird, which. run
higher, were to be spoken by him. not
sung, except where they came within
his compass, followed by the whist
ler's marvellous imitation of the
bird. I.
The man was a very good-natured
fellow, but of so little intellectual ca
pacity that. though he came to Mr..
Winners music store night after night
to learn the words of the song, he was
never able to master more than one
verse of it. Such, however, was his
sense of the comic, and such his facil-
ity in improvising lines to the music,
suggesting ridiculous fancies to at
tract the laughing crowd, that his
''Mocking Bird soon added greatly to
Dicks local reputation. The song
was published in ballad form. and at
once became very popular, and such is
its hold upon the public fancy, that.
although it has been sung and
played the country over for an average
lifetime, it still retains it's place as a
song of national reputation. It was
sold by Mr.. Winner to the firm of Lee
& Walker for a trifing sum. The
profits from it sale have exceeded
800, 900, perhaps the largest amount
ever realized from any musical COM
position of its class.-Franklin Square
Song Collection.
