The new conceit Of substituting dis
tinguished characters In American history
for the goddess Of liberty on United States
coins viii hardly work we'll. unless il be to
grace the double-eagle with the lust of
Washington and all others with the presi-
dent In Office At the time of coinage. Other
wise there are likely to be frequent changes
according to the prevailing WITNESSES Of
successive secretaries OF the treasury. and
with different heads on different coins, sub
ject to arbitrary changes as has been the
case with greenbacks. 1t would be . ques-
tionable honor to him whose head would
appear on coin OF less denomination than
. dollar. and little less than . disgrace to
stand sponsor for nickel or . penny. The
goddess or Washington Is about the only
alternative that will satisfy all Of the
American people.

A clue to portion at least OF the pre-
pondersnce OF European over American
exports from Chill has been discovered In
the fact that In enormous quantities the
Chiiisns gather the berries OF an indigenous
evergreen plant called maqui, which is
valuable for ar,ifcially coioring wines. In
iss. the exports to Europe amounted to
1852 kiiogrammes. and in iss7-just three
years-had increased to 49, 81 kilo-
grammes, of which France alone took 3i5.-
"a kilogrammes.

LONDON, Oct. S.-Mr. Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, writes to the Cen
trail News as follows: 81 have, of course.
received endless reports and communi
cations of ali sorts regarding the potato
crop in the West of Ireland. No posi-
tive or final conclusion can be formed
until the potatoes are dug, toward the
end of October, but all testimony of any
value. and which obviously is not doc
tored for political purposes, appears to
indicate that the cry of general famine
is wholly absurd. Although in partic
ular localities the failure is undoubt
eddy serious, the measures taken by the
government will without question suf-
flee to deal with any real distress which
may be beyond the power of the Ordi
nary poor law machinery to meet" Mr..
Balfour's statement regarding the Irish
potato scourge was issued as the result
of pressure from his friends, who de-
sired to use it as cue for campaign
work. Mr.. Balfour is expected to go
into the matter more in detail in his
forthcoming speeches. 1t may there
fore be taken as settled that the govern
ment officially REJECTS the idea that any
distress exists, except such as can be
alleviated easily and by ordinary meas

EYE FOR AN EYE.
Terrible Story of the Wisconsin
PinerieS.

Pineries.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
"You see,'' said at old-timer, as he sat
in Northern Wisconsin land Office a
few days ago, "the people up there have
law and justice these days, but it was
not always So" He was a pre-emptor
of Clark county and well posted. "It
was away back fifty or more years ago
that many outlaws made their homes in
the dense woods up there. And when
Henry Hoskins and his young wife and
two children came here to settle and
clear up a farm for an horest life
the gang soured on him. and
kept up such a warfare that Hos
kins finally retorted against one Of
the gang. So one afternoon seven of
the gang, Hugh Boden. John Gilfroy,
Thomas, Syl Worden and his brother
Hank got surprise party on Hoskins.
They bound him to a tree, and, in pres
ence of his wife and children, laid the
lash on his bare back most unmerci-
fully. The pleadings of the poor wife
were in vain. No sound or murmur
escaped the lips of Hoskins. Finally,
either by design or accident, blow
struck Hoskins' right eye, tearing the
ball from the socket. Hsskins tainted,
and his wife also fell in swoon. The
scoundrels now felt they had perhaps
gone too far. SO they SUNK off one by
one. Upon regaining consciousness,
the suffering wife cut the bonds that
held her husband and conveyed him to
their cabin, and under her care he re-
covered. But he was not the same
man, His ambition was now only for
revenge. In a few months his wife
died from nervous prostration. He
sent his children to the home of
their grandparents at Dearborn, near
Detroit, Mich. Hoskins remained on
his land. The gang who perpetrated
ike outrage on him were desperate
men, but they gave Hoskins a wide
berth. One day Hank Worden-it was
Hank who piled the laSh-was found
dead in the woods. The coroner'S jury
found a verdict of 'died from bullet
in the right eye, by parties unknown"
SWeeks sped by, when the body of
aBoden was found-killed by bullet in
the right eye. And now nameless ter
ror seized upon these men. They dare
noE leave the woods, as bounty was
set on their capture. But they never
rifles on their shoulders. The break
ing of a twig in the woods gave them
spasms of fear. In week OF two the
body of Gilfroy was found-shot
in the right eye. Would not
their Nemesis now concede his
vengeance satisfied? The state of
the remainder of the gang was pitiable.
And when few days later the bodies
of Deakin and BeardSley were found,
near the bank of the river, shot in the
right eye, the remaining members of
the gang-Syl Worden and Duke
Thomas pale, emaciated, scared and
with shattered nerves, sought to escape
from the unerring rifle of the man they
had SO deeply injured-whose life they
had ruined. They donned disguise and
set out toward where now stands the
city Of Neilsville, but which was then
an unbroken wildefpess. They took
turns at watching. but there was no es-

BROKEN NECKs MENDED.
Some Very Remarkable Gases of
Recent Occurrence.

st. Louis lobeDemocrat.
J. r. Woodward, of Denison, Tex,
spent yesterday at the Laclede hotel.
The pecial interest in the circumstance
lies in the fact that Mr.. Woodward has
passed through the unusual experience
of having had his neck broken and liv-
ing to be interviewed more than year
ton as conductor Oh the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas road, where the accident
occurred which came so near de-
priving him of life. He was put
in charge of the surgeon of the
road, who. finding that the spinal cord
had not been severed, put the neck Ill
plaster cast and dressed the other
wounds. This cast was not removed
until the end of thirty days. Then a
stronger framework, constructed under
the surgeons orders, was fastened
about the chest, shoulders and head so
as to support the head firmly in its
worn until quite recently, when a
lighter one was made and substituted.
1t was made with stiff steel wire and
iron bands, covered with cloth, is cage
like i'll appearance, but admits of con-
siderable movement of the head.
A boy cured of dislocated neck is the
prize case of the Presbyterian hospital
in Philadelphia. The patient is so well
mended that he does not have to wear a
support to hold his head up. There
have been broken necks mended, but
few if any so we'll as this. The patient
is Henry Relgel, fourteen years, 511
North Forty-first street. On May 8 he
fell from an elevator in a factory on
Belmont avenue, lighting on his head
and dislocating the neck at the fourth
cervical vertebra. When brought to the
Presbyterian hospital the case was con-
sdered almost hopeless. DR.. De Forest
Willard, of the visiting staff. and DIR.
w. G. Posey, with the resident staff,
tried what extension weights pulling at
the head and feet would do. At first
the head lay on the breast and the end
of the vertebra could be felt by pushing
the end of the finger down the boys
throat After the weights had been re-
moved the neck was kept in place by
| plaster of paris jacket. In month the
boy was allowed to get up. When the
jacket was taken off few weeks ago,
to the establishment of the physicians,
the boy moved his neck as we'll as he
ever could.
Charles Holden, who was thrown out
of runaway cart at Oakland, CAL,
lived nearly three days with his neck
broken, and it was not antil last Wednes-
day morning that he died from the in
jury.

1T WAS NOT LEsE majestic.
A New Yorker Acquitted of the
Charge of SeditiOn.

BERLIN, Oct. s.-JoSeph J. Jonasson,
of New York city, was acquitted to-day
of the charge of lese majestic. While
visiting here last spring Mr.. Jonasson
became engaged in dispute in res
taurant as to the relative merits of
the German and American governments.
During the discussion he used language
that was construed as seditious, and for
this he was taken into custody. The
specific charge against him was that he
used the expression 81 cough at
the emperor" Being released
on bail he returned to America,
but after his departure he was
indicted, and his lawyer here advised
him that his best course would be to re-
turn and stand trial, otherwise he
would certainly be arrested and i'm
prisoned if he should ever visit Ger
many again. Acting on this advice he
returned to Berlin and was duly ar
raigned, the trial resulting as stated.
