Into1ication by Radiation.

A prominent military man who had
drank moderately during the war and
had abstained from that time on, while
attending dinner with his old COM
rades, where most of them were intoxi-
Gated, suddenly became hilarious, made
a foolish speech, and settled back in his
chair in drunken state, and was fin
ally taken home quite stupid.
He had not drank any spirits aud had
only used coffee and water, and yet he
had all the symptoms of the Others,
only his was intOxication from contag-
ion-the favoring soil had been prepared
long ago In the army.
Another case was that of man who
had been an inebriate years ago, but
had reformed. He was recently elected
to office, and gave a dinner to some
friends. Among them was a physician
who has been greatly Interested in
these studies. He sent me a long re-
port. the substance of which was this:
On the occasion referred to many of
the company became partially intoxi-
Gated, and the host, who drank nothing
but water, became hilarious, and finally
stupid with them. He was put to bed
with every sign of intoxication, but re-
covered, and the next morning had
only confused notion of these events.
The third case occurred four years
ago. A reformed man, oftwelve years
sobriety, went on a military excursion
with drinking company, and, al
though he drank nothing but lemonade,
became as much intoxicated as the
others.
This event was the subject of much
comment and loss to him, socially and
otherwise, although he protested, and
others confirmed his statement, that he
did not take any spirits at this time.

The Howl For Pensions.

Republican papers all over the coun-
try are engaged in preparing the way
for general pension bill at the next
session of Congress, by the publication
of paragraphs similar to the following
from the iSdrdtogidn: H.. f
Compared with the indemnity. that
Germany imposed on France after the
late great war between those nations
the cost of pensions for Union soldiers
in this country Is not very heavy. Per-
haps 1t would have been more exact
Justice to have required the rebelliOus
States to foot the bill of costs, but the
Government was too magnanimous for
that. But, light or heavy, the Obliga-
tion to the loyal veterans Is one that
cannot be evaded. 1t was long, hard
war, and the millions of dollars paid in
pensions will never offset the suffering
and the sorrow, the blood and the tears
that were entailed by the Secession re-
belIion of 1861. The World will have
to curtail In other quarters than that OF
the pension Department.
The money already paid for pensions
is equal to the idemnity paid by France
to Germany. .t
The money already paid for pensions
exceeds the present bonded debt Of the
United States.
The money that will have to be paid
for pensions under our present laws
may possibly exceed the total cost OF
the Civil war, both to the United States
and Confederate Governments, and to
all individuals.
The money already paid to date is ex-
ceeded by the national debt of only six
countries.

DRIVEN TO INSANITY:
Serious Result Of the Indiana white Can
Trials


Trials
CoRYDoS, Ind, April 15-At the close Of
the recent White Cap trial at Leavenworth
the Gregory family, including BOry Gregory,
his daughter, Miss Dora, and his son, Will
lam l., the alleged captain of the White
Caps, started home in a wagon. When they
reached home the daughter was in critical
condition and the father was raving ma
MAC. The team had run away and demol-
ished the wagon, and the condition of Mr..
Gregory and bis daughter was attributed to
injuries received by the runaway. The real
facts have been made known, and are as fol-
lows:
When within two miles of home Mr..
Gregory was seized with sudden fit of in
sanity, and, drawing his revolver, he leaped
from the wagon. He then cooked the pistol
and placed the muzzle at his temple, but be-
fore he could fire, his son and daughter had
hold of him. In the scuffie that ensued the
revolver was discharged, the ball penetrat-
ing the young lady's right side. The team
became frightened at the report of the re-
volver and ran away. Mr.. Gregory has not
fully recovered his reason, but it is thought
that it will finally be restored His daughter
is improving, but is yet in precarious con-
dition. She was to have been married in
few days

The yearly disbursements have grown
In ten years from 500, ,S44, AIS in 1873 to
$63, ,152, 500 in 1888.
When will this steady growth stop?
What will 1t increase to in the next ten
years? Over 2O0,0 names--over one
half those on the roll-have been added
in five years-between 1883 and 1887,
and the claims come rolling in, increas-
ing In number every year. ...r
So far as any one can foresee, the
present pension law will by 1895 make
yearly charge of $3.50, ,0OO,0 900. If it
should then reach it's highest point.
which is not likely, it will be kept al
or near those figures-by pensioning
aged veterans and their widows-for
nearly quarter ofa century before 1t
will begin to materially decline.
The present pension law and present
pension charge is equal to an increase
of our public debt by So, 100, 100000. It
requires the interest on that amount of
money at 4 per cent. to paythe present
pensions. From practical and COM
nonsense standpo our National debt
is to-day enormously larger than ever
before in our history, equal to that OF
Great Britain and steadily increasing
at rate. which in ten years will make
it nearly double that of any other coun-
try. We are now bonded to pay an in
terest and pension charge at 4 per cent.
on So, 900, 900, 900, and we owe $500 ,O00.-
600 nOn-interest debt in addition, MAX
ing o total of over S., 500. .00O, 900. Great
Britain's debts $3, ZOO, 900, 900; frances,
$4,000, ,O00, 600. 1st9 as}t' L@}4
AT the rate weIare adding to this pen
sion charge, it will not take ten or even
eight years to double 1t under the pres
ent law, nor more than three years to
have our burden OF debt greater than
any country lin the world. n % @
The, Worldahas never advocated any
cnrtailment OF the present law. 1t OBJ

mon sense of the country In objecting
to any ill-considered additions to our
present burdens, made merely for par
tisian purposes and to catch votes. IN.

The Land Fever Epidemic.
Inter Ocean,1


When the land fever gets abroad it
acts like an epidemic. and every would
be settler feels impelled to follow the
crowd instead of prospecting in direct
ions that may offer equal advantages
without the hardships that fall upon
excessive numbers assembled where the
supply is inadequate to the demand.
Exclusive of Indian Territory there are
surveyed in the territories to the extent
of 212,594,357 acres, and unsurveyed
lands, exclusive of Alaska, to the
amount of $40, ,9O0,363 acres. The home
hunters can find as good lands in this
liberal allotment as they can hope to
secure in the Oklahoma Territory with
climatic conditions favorable and facili-
ties of approach and communication
with the outer world as good as those
in more southernly direction. Let
the impulsive fellows who are crying
ION to Oklahoma deliberate upon the
situation and escape much distress.

She Claims to Have a Gas Well That
Knocks All Others Out.
TFFN, O., April I3.-Great excitement
has been created here by the discovery of a
large increased capacity in one of our gas
wells. About year ago the well was drilled
in on the Highland addition to the city, and
had a capacity of half million feet, which
has been utilized in the Beatty glass factory.
Friday morning the gas burst the pipes in
the factory with terrific force, doing great
damage to the building but fortunately no
one was injured. Upon examining the well
it was found that over 200 feet of the casing
had been blown out and the flow of gas in
creased to 28,00O,000 feet per diem. Thou
sands have visited the well and the territory
is being leased by citisens and SPECTATORS as
rapidly as they can be drawn up The well
will be recased and used to illuminate the
city on the occasion of our celebration which
takes place on the 18th.
