The question is asked why the face
Of a person who is stranpied turns
blackf An answer 10 this is as fol-
lows: Blood is OF two kinds, arterial
or bright blood, and venous or dark
blood The brilliant color of the arte-
rial blood is due TO oxygen which Il
carries from the lungs TO the tissues:
these rob it of its charge, and il hur'
nes back to the lungs as dark venous
blood for more. II this regular course
OF nature is arrested by strangulation,
which means the compression Of the
lugular vein, the venous blood is re.
tained above the ligature and becomes
less and less oxygenated. II the iga.
ture Is very tight the carotid arteries

frog had again jumped in another di-

about half a minute; the snake quite
unable TO trace the frog in his aerial

At last the frog, more by accident

Interest to Stock Brokers.
A Broker Who Dis0beys Orders Held

Judge Vincent Admitted to Practice
Before the Supreme Court.

EAU CLAIRE, Jan. 21.-When the case
Of the State against Andy Hamilton, who
for years has run a notorious and most
infamous dance den near here was called
in the circuit court today, the defense
made application for a continuance on
the ground that material witness for the
defense, woman named Seymour, could
not be found. The charge against Ham
IIton is, keeping house of ill-fame. and
the woman was wanted ostensibly to
prove it respectable house. The appli-
cation for a continuance was seen
IN a humorous light, when the court
issued an attachment for the witness al
legged to be missing. The woman was
really in town. The sheriff discovered
her in certain place on the east side
and to the CONSERVATION of Hamilton
aud his gang she was placed in custody
tonight. Barker and wife, other no.
torious den keepers, whose case is pend
ing, have also asked for a continuance,
alleging that Mrs. Barker is very sick.
The case against Jim MoCann, another
den keeper is also pending.

their size enormous. The strictly modern
class of steamships may be said to have
begun with the Arizona, built in 1879.
which made the Atlantic passage in the
fastest time then on record, attaining a
speed OF twenty and one-third statute
miles an hour. In the same year was
launched the Alaska, which, in 1882, was
the first vessel 70 cross the ocean in sew
en- days, gaining thereby the title of
greyhound of the Atlantic; but still
heeter "ocesn greyhounds" soon appear-
ed. The Oregon outstripped the Alaska,
running at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour, and in 1884 was herself eclipsed
by the Umbria making twenty-three and
a half miles an hour. Then came the
City of Rome, which made the eastward
passage IL six days twenty-five hours and
twenty five minutes; and in February,
1887, the Etruris came to the front with
record of six days and nineteen hours
frorn Liverpool to New York. The Um-
brl and the Etruris have made several re-
auctions on this time, and the present
best record is held by the Etruria, which
made the passage from Queenstown to
New York In September, 1888, in six DAYS
one hour and fifty minutes; but we may
expect full further reduction BY either
of these ships on her next trip. Nearly
equal speed has been made between Eng
land and Australia. At the beginning of
the century this passage required eight
months by sailing vessels, and is now
made by steamers IN about six weeks.
The Ormux launched in 1887. was design
ated to greatly reduce this time, and,
although at first not realizing expecta-
lions, IN October of the same year she ex-
ceeded them by covering the distance be-
tween London and Adelaide in trifs
under twenty-four days.

A BROKER is RESPONSIBLE.

The q. S. Supreme Court Decides that a Broker
is Liable for Losses When Orders Are
DisObeyed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-An opinion of
interest to stock brokers was rendered in
the supreme court in the case of VIM. G..
Gallagher, appellant, versus Thomas R.
Jones; an appeal from the supreme court
of the territory OF Utah. The case turns
upon the loss sustained by Gallagher
through the refusal or neglect of
hs broker, jones, to follow
instructions in stock tranactions. The
court holds the broker is but the agent
and that he is bound to follow the direc-
tions of his principal, or to give prompt
notice that he declines to con-
tinue the agency. It is there
fore decided that Jones is
liable for damages, for not notifying
Gallagher by telegraph that he would not
convert certain stocks into other stocks,
as he was ordered to do. The measure
of damages with should be awarded,
where the stock advance in value. after
the order to buy had been given,
the court holds, should be the
highest intermediate value, which the
stock attaius between the time the order
was given and reasonable time after
the notice of such failure to buy stock
is given to the purchaser in order that he
may make a new order. The decision of
the lower court in favor of Jones is re-
yersed

/ A st. Paul Opera House Goes up in Smoke.
ST.. PAUL, Jan. 21.-Fire was discovered
In the Grand Opera house at 7:3O this
morning, and before the department
could reach the building the interior OF
the taeater was a mass of flames. The
entire fire department was called out
and set to work, confning their
efforts to saving the buildings which sur
rounded the opera house block. In this
they were partially successful, the flames
spreading only to the upper portions of
the Court block. The fire was under con-
troll at 10 o'clock.
The Grand Opera house is total loss
and the Court block is damaged about
$4,000. The total loss will reach about
S1OO, 900, which is nearly all covered by
insurance. There is about $50
600 insurance on the Grand
Opera house, block. In regard
to rebuilding the opera house Ed. David
son, who is the only representative in the
city of the executors of the Davidson es-
tate, which owns the property, says that
he does not yet know. The Helen Barry
company, which were to play at the
house this evening, will play at the
Market hall.
The total amount of insurance on the

kee, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, York, Pa,

FAST OCEAN PASSAGE

Since 1888

Some OF the Great Records Made by Steamships
Since 1888.
1t was about fifty years ago, with the
introduction of iron ships and the screw
propeller, that the era of rapid steamboat
travelling began. The paddle wheel
steamer Great Western sailed from Bris-
toll, England, April 8. 1888, and reached
New York, April %. This was welcomed
as great achievement, for the passage
across the Atlantic had been made in half
the time formerly required. Two years
later the CunaTd steamers began to sail,
the pioneer vessel being the Unicorn, a
little craft, which made the passage from
Liverpool to Boston, via Halifax, in six
teen days. I'm 2rovements in the new
method of navigation were made in "a pid
succession. In 1845 the Great Britain
