It says with regard to the new treaty with Mexico, allowing troops to cross the line in pursuit of hostiles, that "With Lieutenant Trippe and his class of officers in the field, this treaty would be of no benefit, for the only way they could get an Indian would be for an h. dian to come into camp and commit sui eide. ."-Enterprise.

Could scarcely devise more eXcruciating tortures than those of which you see the evidences in the face of rheumatic or neuralgia sufferer. The agonies are the consequence of not checking q rheumat- ic or neuralgia attack at the outset.

Women as Physicians.

Every day brings news of the advance
ment of women. Slowly but surely they
are working their way into the various
professions and trades, and approaching
that ideal Of equity in work with men
which the progressive woman has al
ways persistenly cherished. The ap-
pointment of Miss Belle Smith-who, by
the way, is said to be only 90 years old
as resident physician of the Woman's
prison at Sherborn, position of great
responsibility, is another evidence of the
fact that in this country women are ad.
vancing, and advancing rapidly. In
this connection it is interesting to note
the increasing number of women who
are adopting the profession of medicine.

Bracelets in the Hair.

1t is very stylish just now to wear a
diamond bracelet in the hair, arranged
in such way that only the gems may
be seen. 1t may confne the catogan
braids or coils in the neck, or flash high
in the couture, with pouf Of hair
drawn through. Some jewellers claim
that earrings are fast losing popularity;
children are rarely allowed to have their
ears pierced, and young girls object to
the relic of barbarism, which renders the
jeweled bracelets and pins all the more
elaborate and expensive. AS the brace
lets are not worn with long evening
gloves. their use in the hair is quite de-
sirable, for one must display ones dia-
monds if one is so fortunate as to pos
sess them.-New York Sun.

Robbery of Bombs at sebastopoI.

Quite sensation has been caused in
military and official circles at Sebastopol
by the discovery Of systematic robbery
of bombs from the artillery magazines
in that city. From the extent of the dis
coveries now made by the police itwould
appear that the abstraction of bombs and
shells has been going on for d number OF
years. The prosperity which during the
last few years appeared to follow the
operations of a certain mechanical engi-
neer who ten years ago was a working
journeyman, and the display which this
individual has recently made, primarily
led to the extraordinary discovery. He
erected large factory, acquired hand
some private residence, and latterly drove
about the city in well appointed car
riage.
This sudden and unaccountable pros
perity attracted the notice of the police,
who made raid ON the factory, when
large hidden stores of bombs were dis
covered bearing the government mark.
The arrest of the engineer led to the
further discovery that an organized band
of artillerists and others were implicated
in the robberies. The police are of opin-
ion that the burning of one of the artil-
lery magazines in Sebastopol last year
was the work of the band now under ar
rest, who presumably fired the magazine
to prevent the discovery of an unusually
large theft of bombs. To the same
hands is attributed the mysterious muir
der about the same time of an artillery
driver. The mystery which chiefly ex-
ercises the authorities for the moment
is how the bombs were disposed of to
such an extent as to enrich so largely
the organizer of the robberies and his
confederates. London News.

Salmon from the Delaware.

A true sea salmon, Salmo salar, was
taken in the Delaware river recently at
Gloucester, in Mr.. William j. Thomp-
sons net, at the o'clock haul. 1t was
feet Z inches in length and weighed
twenty-oue pounds, When brought to
the surface it made frantic efforts to es-
cape, and it was some time before it was
secured The fish was sent to United
States Commissioner Mcdonald, lat Wash
ington. This is the second that has been
captured in the river since its stocking,
about ten years ago, the other, which
was much smaller, having been taken
last year. Col. John Gay, superintendent
of stations of the United States fish
commission. said that he considered the
capture of the salmon highly important
as tending to prove the possibility OF
making salmon river of the Delaware.
The stocking ten years ago. he said, was
purely an experiment, and done under
unfavorable conditions. He thought that
if, under those circumstances, any sal
mon lived to return to the river. the
practical manner in which the planting
was now going on would be productive
of good results. Philadelphia Ledger.

Summer Sashes.

Sashes are worn universally in endless
variety. A broadribbon tied in bow at
the back; around belt fastened at the side
bya rosette from which dangle single ends
of ribbon finished with butterfly bows;
festoons of ribbons falling over tab
lier or starting from the point of a girdle
to be carried to the back; or long breadths
of silk or Grape arranged in folds below
the waist and knotted without bows
with their fringed ends falling nearly to
the hem of the dress and in every known
tint and shade. Black sas!1es, especially
in velvet, givea little Freachy air,to light
dresses and relieve their monotony, but
ordinarily this detail of the toilet is in
harmony with the rest, either matching
the material itself or one of the delicate
tints in the embroidery. New YorkSun.

Standard Time Better Than Local.

Many people find it difficult to be al
ways just on time, and to keep up with
two times is more than can be expected
of anybody. Consequently it is not sur
prising that Bath people are getting
mixed up. Sunday part of the church
bells rang on local time and part on
standard, and it was uncertain whether
one would have to wait a half hour or be
late. People are getting more and more
disguised at the present condition Of
things every day, and there are serious
threats of putting another clock on the
court house that shall register United
States time. A community that wants
time exclusively its own should first
make provisions for suspension OF COM
munication with the rest OF the world
so as not to be bothered with other peo-
pies chronology.-Lewiston Journal.

Idle Ranana Pickers.

A general strike of plantation hands
for shorter hours and better pay is now
in progress in Jamaica, and the result is
to increase the price of bananas. The
doctrines of the eight hour movement
have been disseminated among the ne
groes and other laborers on the banana
farms in the island of Jamaica with dis
astrous results to the planters who de-
pend upon their banana crop. The la
borers, pickers. etc. have been working
long hours for starvation wages, and not
being able to stand it longer they re-
volted, nearly 5000 men and women be-
ing out, and all work in this industry is
at a standstill.
On the inland plantations in Jamaica
thousands of punches of bananas are
ripening on the trees, which spoils them
for market, or rotting in great heaps on
the ground. This has caused compare
tive scarcity of bananas, and the price
has therefore gone up. In 1870 any old
tub of a schooner was considered good
enough for the banana trade. Now there
is fleet of sixty steamers, built for this
particular trade, which carry from 2,7OO
to 5000 punches of bananas trip to
New York and return for more in bal
last, without waiting to ship a return
cargo. The entire fleet of steamers sails
under the Norwegian flag, although
owned in this country. The Norwegian
flag was selected because it is believed
that in case of a European war Norway
would remain neutral. News.

A paughter sold Cor a.. 500.

In village in Russia not long age
lived poor family named Meaks and a
rich man named Lapeu, whose son was
infatuated with the poor mans daugh.
ter. He wanted to marry her, and as
her father would not consent to the
match unless the young man brought
him money, young Lapeu stole $500
from his father and gave it to Meaks as
the price of his daughter.
An early wedding was prom ed. The
Meaks family, however, quietly packed
up their goods, came to this country,
settled in Meriden, Conn, and with the
money obtained from Lapeu purchased
house. Lapeu followed and traced
his fancee to Meriden few weeks ago.
He found where his sweetheart was liv-
ing and called on her, but the girl soon
convinced him that she was far from
glad to see him and that she wouldn't
marry him.
Lapeu then demanded his money
back. When it was not forthcoming he
attached the house to recover his $4,000.
One of Meaks' sons, who has been living
at White Plains Junction, VT, was tele-
graphed for. He came and had an inter
view with Lapeu, who insisted on the
return of the money, but the brother
persuaded him that he had better take
the girl instead. The brother induced
him to withdraw the suit BY telling him
that he would arrange the marriage
shortly. He got Lapeu to go with him
to White Plains Junction, saying he
would set him up in business by giving
him goods to sell on commission.
At White Plains Meaks gave the
young man lot of goods and compelled
him to sign paper in which he agreed
to return the goods in certain time or
pay for them. Then he left Lapeu in a
desolate place in Vermont and thought
he had seen the last of him. The young
fellow tramped back, however, and
made another demand for the girl or his
money The son in Vermont was again
telegraphed for and when he arrived he
had Lapeu arrested for alleged embez-
element.
Hebrews who had taken an interest in
Lapeu's case sent to New Haven for At
torney j. p Goodhart, who procured a
dismissal of the charge and will at once
take steps to recover the $500. Cor.

Catching a Loon with Hook and Line.

Alfred Hills, one of the brothers who
run the famous Hills Homestead at
Savin Rock, narrowly escaped being still
more famous day or two ago. Here's
the story as Mr.. Hills tells it: He was
fishing for fatfsh off the Savin Rock
shore when he was surprised to hear
blood curdling screeches and to feel a
big thing on his line. A loon, or great
northern diver had picked up the bait
and was fast on the hook. Mr.. Hills got
just as much excited as was the loon,
and battle royal followed. The fisher
man played his catca until his boat had
travelled fully mile, and had his game
we'll in hand. He pulled in the line
slowly and had the bird close by the
boat when the loon made one last effort,
broke the line and escaped. To capture
loon is big feat, but tocatch one with
hook and E,le is unprecedented. The
bird is very shy. and will dive so rapidly
that it will get under water between the
time of ID flash of gun and the time the
bullet reaches the place where the loon
was.-New Haven Palladium.
