Saving a Fallen rrlend.


A gentleman in Chicago who is promi-
nent IN the Y. NC A.. learned not long
ago that warm friend Of his early days
was nearing the cnrbstone through strong
drink, and he was told that the poor fell
lows only rescue was through a eonfine-
ment IN the Washington Home. The
phiianthropist resolved 10 rescue him on
sight, and he met him down TOWN one
Saturday afternoon. Taking bin into
his buggy, he talked pleasantly with him
and said he would give him a ride They
stopped at the Washingtonian Home
and the philanthropist asked mis- unfor-
tunate friend to accompany him up stairs
to call on an old chum lie went. The
two were ushered into a parior. The
Superintendent entered. Up jumped the
unfortunate, whispered few harried
words in his ear, and started TO leave.
His kind friend started after him. Oh,
no, said the superintendent, you viii
stay with US" The phiianthropist was
dumbiounded. In vain did he protest
that he was the wrong man. He was re-
moved to a room and dosed with beef tea
and bromide. They kept him until Nom
day before they allowed him TO send a
note 70 his family. He was rescued at
once. The poor unfortunate had sold
his horse and buggy and left for parts IN

and ], eco years We kept borrowing from
the future, until l5s2 we'd borrowed ten
days. Pope Gregory XIII started 10 cor
rect this. He ordered October ,, l5S2, to
be called October Is, and, to square
things, ordered that centurial years
should not, as a rule, be leap years.
But if leap year IS omitted regularly
each hundredth year, we pay back nearly
a day too much 20 Pope Gregory further
ordered that every centurial year which
could be divided by 400 should be a leap
year, after all. 80 we borrow eleven min
utes each year from The future more
than pay our borrowings back by omit
ting three leap years in three centuries,
and finally square matters BY having 3
leap year in the fourth centurial year.
This arrangement is 50 exaet that We bof-

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The presence at the State Department, almost daily, of MT. Pitken, United States Minister to the Argen tine Republic, and Mir. Conger, the new Minister to Brazil, and their frequent conferences with Secretary Blaine are exciting 8 deal of comment. i The Secretary of State, it is under stood, has summoned the Ministers here to consult with them as to the best plan for perfecting the reciprocity scheme. MT. Blaine's friends regard the develop ment of it as sure to have most inn portant bearing upon the Presidential nomination in '92. They urge that the plan has already become the most popular yet devised by the Fifty-first Congress.
 Mir. Blaine is conducting his conference not only with Messrs. Pitkin and Con- ger, but also with the diplomatic repre- sentatives of the Spanish-American re- publics. They take place at the residence of the Secretary of State, and much progress is said to have been made already.
 , Friends of Mir. Blaine say that before 1892 the fame of having developed our trade and given a new impulse to our national prosperity will rebound to the credit of the Maine statesman alone.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The State De- partment received a dispatch from Bar badoes stating that the Brazilian squad ron under Admiral Da Silviera would sail from Barbadoes to-day and would reach New York on November A.
 Secretary Tracy sent a letter to Rear Admiral Gherardi, Chief of the North Atlantic squadron, in which he says that it is the wish of the Department that the welcome given to Admiral Da Silviera and his fleet shall equal, in demonstra- tion of cordiality and good will, that &C., corded to Acting Rear Admiral Walker at Rio, and it looks to you to extend in the most ample manner all official cour- tesies so far as they fall within the prov ince of the Commander-i in-Chief ahoat.
 The Secretary follows this with de- tailed instructions abut the naval recep- tion in New York Harbor, and adds that Rear Admiral Walker has been designa- ted by the President to represent him in receiving the Brazilian Admiral in New York and to accompany him to Was h. tngton.

 KINGSTON, N. Y., Nov. 16.-A great deal of interest is taken here in ehe pro ceedings for the release of Coknelius Bruyn from the Middletown ansane Asylum. The matter will come up on Monday before Judge O'Brien, q New York, who has issued writ of habeas corpus.
 Cornelius Bruyn was confined At the instance of his brother James V. Bruyn, of this city, who said that his brother was not insane but suffered from delu- sions. The trouble resulted, hek said, from too excessive use of cigarettes. His brother Cornelius smoked packs of cigarettes daily, and for months past had been unable to go to sleep unless he had cigarette in his mouth. @..
 He also conceived the ehallucinatiCN that he was followed by the police, and he fled from London because, he said, the police had an idea that he was "Jack the Ripper" His visits to Kingston during his last visit to this country have been for the purpose of escaping from police pursuit." |
 The Bruyn family is one of the oldest in Ulster County, and the father of James and Cornelius was cashier and president of the Ulster County Bank.

THE BIRCHALL VERDICT.
He Suffered no Pain After the Jerk-His
 Brain Weighed.

He Suffered no Pain After the Jerk-Hia
 Brain Weighed.
 WooDsTocK, Ont, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Birch all has been kept under the influence of opiates. She has slept nearly continu- ously and seems to fail to recognize her widowhood. It is learned that she will remain in Woodstock for some little time yet before starting for England.
 A jury was empannelled and the au- topsy revealed that Birchall had an unusually large brain. It weighed 502 ounces.
 The verdict of the jury is to the effect that no dislocation of the neck had taken place. The windpipe was crushed in. Death was therefore caused by stranguIa- tion. The doctors agree, however, that there was no sensibility of pain after the jerk.
 This ends the story Of Birchall's crime and expiation.
