There are not few Christians who,
if they would take their fingers off
their own spiritual pulse and lay both
hands to gospel work, would realize
the most delightful sensation they
have had since the day of conver-
sion. To be continually feeling for
feeling is a poor exhibition of true
religion. Orleans AdUocdte.

WARNING TO SWITZERLAND.
The NORTH German Gazette Explains Her
Position and Duties.

BERLIN June 25.-The North German
Gazette. ID an article summarizing the his
tory of the development Of Switzerland's
neutrality since the Vienna Congress, says :
Switzerland has altered her Internal Consti-
tuition and lnfringed the stipulations of the
Congress. P russia, Austria and France in
1S4S served notice upon Switzerland that
they would not fulfill the obligations
they had taken upon themselves to-
ward her unless she preserved intact
the conditions upon which her neutrality
was based. But further than this, the
rights of Switzerland are not established
merely by the maintenance Of neutrality,
nor is this principle exclusively dominant
in defining the obligations Of Switzerland
to other powers. The accepted doctrines Of
international law provide that no State
shall tolerate within its boundaries any
acts or efforts that are injurious to other
States This principle applies with especial
force in the case of a country whose neutral
ity, inviolability and integrity are guarded
by other powers. If State in this position
tolerates or in any way promotes such ipju-
rious acts it 'infringes the privilege which
has been conceded to il by the guaranteeing
Powers The, breach of privilege is more
fragrant when the State becomes party to
efforts against the safety of neighboring
State, or exercises its authority to prevent
its neighbor from warding off hostile in
triuues"

MINNEAPOLIS, June 25.-It was after 10
o'clock when the American Institute of
Homeopathy went into session this morn
ing. The morning was occupied in listen
ing to reports OF the various committees
and bureaus appointed at the last meeting
OF the institute. R. B. Rush, Of tn Board

the institute last year by the W. c. T. q.
The w. G. T. q. had memorialized the in

alcoholic liquors in medicines. This the
institute declined to do.
In their reply to Mrs. F. M. Moore, of
Medina, N. Y, Superintendent of the De-
partment of Non-Alcohols in Medicine, the
institute declared itself opposed to the in
discriminate and common use of alcoholic
liquors. They opposed all preparations
known as "bitters" and "tonics," In which

General Manager Towne on the Canada Pa.
cifc and the Interstate Law.
SAN Francisco, June 25-A. N. Towne,
General Manager of the Southern Pacific
Company, has supplemented his testimony,
given recently before the United States
Senate Committee on Relations with Cana
da, by an open letter of the committee
as to the effect of competition
of the Canadian Pacific Railway on Ameri-
can lines He cites the fabulous privileges
granted by the Canadian Government to the
railway and shows how its independence of
the interstate commerce law has seriously
crippled American roads compelled to
compete with it.
Mr.. Towne then argues for modification
of the long and short haul clause of the
law to permit American roads to meet the
competition of foreign roads, and urges that
the provision which prohibits pooling be
revoked. and to place all pooling organi-
cations under the scrutiny of the Inter
State Commerce Commission with power to
exercise the reguIative functions. He
finally contends that the railroad sys-
tenn built by foreign power as
military measure and with the avowed OBJ
ject of promoting the trade between the
provinces of the country that create it, by
Withdrawing their trade from the United
States, should not be favored where favors
can be withheld. American carriers should
be relieved from onerous restrictions laid
upon them by the fourth and fifth sections
of the interstate commerce law. SO that
they may not be denied any reasonable ia
cility to enable them to control their own
ground against invading carriers.

KaInoky Does..'. Expect War, Though the
situaiion Is Bad.
VIENNA, JUNE 25.-In the delegations
to-day Count Kalnoky made a long speech
on the political situation. He expressed
the belief that the peace of Europe was not
at present endangered, although he
admitted that the solution was
unsettled and might easily change.
In no case would Austria be responsible in
the event OF peace being threatened. The
allies would dol everything possible to
maintain peace. The relations of the Aus
trian Governmentwith Germany and Italy
were of cordial ahd permanent character.
Austria was on friendly footing with all
the states Of Europa including Russia.
Replying to questions of delegates, Count
Kalnoky said that the national interests Of
Servia and the personal interests of the
regents in maintaining their position gave
certain guarantees. 1he project of union
of all the Servians Was idealistic, but its
discussion during the present exciting times
could not be ignored.
In reply to further Questions Count Kali
noky said that the recent Catholic Congress
had not affected Austria's friendly rela-
tions with Italy. The King of Roumania,
who is en- route to Sigmatingen, had long
interview with Count Kalnoky to-day.

A Remarkable Experience.
Mr.. H. ROBERTSON
SAVED
FROM AN UNTIMELY DEATH.

Mr.. II. Robertson, native of Scotland, but
who has been a resident of this country for sew
eral years, has been a victim of kidney disease
with the following symptoms: He had a heavy
dragging pain across the small of his back, ex-
tending from one side to the other, and a bloat-
ed. dropsical condition of the bowels, high COL
ored urine, and he noticed that sometimes it
contained reddish, brick-coored sediment,
and at other times the sediment was of a light
ish color. He noticed that he felt very tired in
the morning, and as he gradually grew weaker,
his stomach became affected. His appetite
became poor. and he was constantly annoyed
with sour eructations of gas from his stomach
after eating. and on account of the kidneys not
performing their function properly, his blood
became charged with rheumatic poison, so that
he had much pain about his shoulders and diff
ferent parts of his body. AS he became more
emaciated he began to cough, and he felt much
tightness and weight across his lungs. In
speaking of the matter one day, he said:
II doctored with the best doctors Icould hear
of. but was fast getting worse. 1 became mel

testimony before the court yesterday.
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 25.-The Nc
Dow trial was resumed this morning. The
courtroom was we'll filled and the popular
interest unabated. John II. Deveraux,
Henry Oliver and Mike Hogan were exam
ined by the State to establish Mellow s
attempt to bury Captain Dawson's body aft
er the shooting. The evidence in this point
was overwhelming. The State thus far has
established beyond question the fact of the
killing, the fact that Mellow shot Daw-
son in the back, and the fact that he tried
to bury the body.
The evidence of Marie Bardsyron, Mrs.
Dawson's French maid, was the feature of
the trial to-day. She was brought here by
Mrs. Dawson from Geneva, Switzerland,
two years ago, as governess for her chill
dren. She is 20 years old, and handsome
brunette, with dark hair and eyes, an intel
ligent face and well-developed form.
A TARGET FOR ALL EYES.
She attracted the attention of every spec
tator in court. She understands English,
but speaks 1t imperfectly. An effort to
have her testify through an interpreter was
objected to by McDow's counsel, and she
spoke in English. Her manner was col
lected, and throughout the ordeal she bore
herself with an air of innocence.
She successfully combatted.. all the at
tempts of Judge Magrath, McDow's coun-
sci, to elicit something that would weaken
her testimony. Her first meeting with Nc
Dow, she testified, was in the first of last
February. He met her on the street and
asked her to run away with him. She told
him that she would not do it, and that she
would not leave Mrs. Dawson for anything.
He met her quietly on the street after that,
and prosecuted her with his attentions when
she was going to school with Captain Daw-
sons children, and when she was returning
home.
He visited her several times at Capt.
Dawson's house when Mrs. Dawson was in
Washington and Capt Dawson was at his
work in the Courier-J Journal Office. He
sent her flowers and poetry and gave her a
watch to remember him by. He told her
that be had married German woman for
her money; that his married life was an
unhappy one and that he wanted her to run
away with him and marry HIM.
A VERY BAD MAN.
Mellow told her he could not get a di.
vorce from his wife in Charleston, but
would take witness to North Carolina and
after securing divorce would marry her.
She gave Mellow book bearing the title
"Betwixt Love and Law" She had never
read it but knew about what the contents
were. 1t was, she said, a story about a
married woman in love with man.
In her case the situation was reversed
and was the case of a married man in love
with woman. Mellow had taken photo
graph from her and had kissed her ''two
times" and "only two times" She knew
that his conduct toward her was not what it
should have been. =,
The witness often shrugged her shoulders.
as is usual with French women, when she
did not understand the question, but made
good impression by her conduct on the
stand The case for the defense will be
opened tomorrow and perhaps Mellow
himself will take the stand. The argument
will probably not begin before Friday.
