Not Too Big for His Clothes.

According to Superintendent Porter the pop.
ulation Of the United States Is Just about a.
100000. which will disappoint some people who
like to think that Uncle Sam is the biggest fel-

to be found in the thought that it is the silly
little boy who aches to be as big as his dad and
the wise old lad who wishes he was bow again.

FORT WAYNE. August 9.-An old German
farmer named Herman Ruhi, who has occupied
small farm in the vicinity Of Bloomingdale, a
suburb of this city. died this morning in
horrible agony. Some time ago deceased was
driving his horse, when the animal
coughed and blew saliva into the
face of its driver. Last week Ruhi's face be-
came literally incrusted with small pimples,
and these spread over his body until eventually
it became mass of sores. Medical science was
Of no avail.
DR.. Jansen, local physician, says that death
was due to poisoning, caused by the obnoxious
matter from the horse becoming absorbed into
the mans system. 1t is supposed that the ami
NAL was suffering from glanGers.

CONGRESS TO DECIDE
A Scheme to Settle the Behring
Sea Question.
SECRETARY BLAINE's NEW PLAN

Need for More MOnsy-The President
Not Satisfied About the Worlds Fair.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia close friend
Of Secretary Blaine's says that he is 60
ing to submit the Behring Sea case to
Congress. 1t will be for Congress now
to pass a law, either asserting or re-
nouncing distinctly exclusive Jurisdic-
ton over Behring Sea, and in the former
alternative it will be necessary for Con-
gress to provide the force necessary to
support this law against foreign conten-
tion.
The policy of the British appears to be
a policy of evasion. They profess in
glittering generalities to be conciliatory,
but when Mr.. Blaine asks them to COM
NIT themselves to paper the professions
are not carried out.
In conversation the British Minister
would appear to be ready to concede
everything, but when it comes to putting
it in black and white it appears quite
clear that the English don't mean bust
ness. What they want to do Is to con-
tinue seal poaching. They want to con-
tinue it as a temporary arrangement
while the great ultimate question of
maritime Jurisdiction is in arbitration,
and they expect that the result of the
arbitration will be to open up the ash
cries to them and to all the rest of the

SNAKE-BITE CURE.

The Use of Large Quantities of Alcohol
Emph tIcallY Condemned.
In paper in the Revue Scientifique
describing his recent researches and ex-
perilnents regarding the bits of poison
GUS snakes, Prof. Kaufman advises that
in the treatment of bite the injured
limb should be tightly bound above the
bite as quickly as possible, with hand
>kerchief or any other available con-
strictor, and that then 1-to-2 solution
Of chronic acid should be injected deep
into the wound, making several similar
injections in the neighhorhood Of the
wound. If these directions are care
fully followed, the poison will
re destroyed before being alb
orbed. If there is already much
swelling of the wound more in
iections should be made in various
parts of the swelling, which should tn en-
be manipulated to bring the acid thor
oughly into contact with the poison.
The swelling should then be freely
anced and as much as possible Of the
huid squeezed out. The skin should
be washed with the chronic acid solu-
ton, folS0wed by the application of
congresses saturated with the solution.
If the swelling returns, these proce d.
ures shoSld be repeated. This local
treatment should be supplemented ny
the inteAnal administration of alco-
holic stimulants and aqua ammonia.
Prof. Kaufman, however, strongly con-
dennis the use of large quantities of
alcohol, which, he thinks, paralyze ard
depress the nervous system.

If the truth is told, the Farmers alli-
ance methods of choosing a candidate
are peculiar. When they meet and
commence balloting for their candi-
dates, always under the sign and the
password, every member votes as his
fancy or his inclination dictates. Should
here be a dozen, more or less, candi-
dates brought forward upon this in
formal ballot, each one is required to
come forward, and in five minutes tell
his relations to alliance2 principles, but
must not appeal for votes. Then the
first formal ballot is taken. If all these
candidates receive votes, a second bal
lot is ordered immediately, the candi-
date receiving the lowest number of
votes being dropped. This continues
without interruption until there remain
but two candidates, when the result. is
reached and the choice of the caucus is

WE harsly think that the public can

features in the detail of the federal cleo
lions bill. One of them provides that
the general supervisor of elections shall
be appointed for life. Nor is this all.
1t is provided, further, that he shall ap-
Joint his successor in office. Thus the
aw is SO arranged that the present
party in power shall control the cleo
ions forever, no heed how much the
people will declare against it. The
pecial supervisors are to be nominated
~ this general supervisor. This was
he original house bill, and though,
lnder a proposed senate amendment,
he appointing power may go outside
these nominations in making selections
for the place, the bill is SO contrived
that practically that provision is of no
avail.

EYRAup oReArEs a soENk.
The spectators Cry Out 60 Have the C0ur,
silence the Strangers.


The spectators Cry out TO Have the COurl
silence the Strangers.
PARu, Dec. 19.-In the trial OF Michael
Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard for the
murder of Gouffe, DR.. Brouardel deposed
that Gabrielle was sane, though dei
ficient in moral perception. She showed
a lack of any sense of guilt for her
crime.
Other medical evidence was given,
tending to show that the woman was
susceptible to hypnotism. It was sug-
gested that she might have been brought
under pyramids influence by this means.
At this point Eyraud created a scene
in court by angrily shouting that moth
ing af the kind had ever occurred, and
that Gabrielle was fooling the doctors
by pretending to submit to hypnotism. q,
DR.. Vosin testified that he had hypno-
tized the woman, but declined, on the
ground of professional ethics, to give
the details. DR.. La Cassagne deposed
that he could not say whether the frao-
ture of Gouffe'S neck was due to stranG-
ling with the cord or with the hands.
The female prisoner cried out: cha
was strangled by Eyraud's hands"
Immediately Eyraud retorted: "He was
choked by the cord that you drew
around his neck" These mutual re.
examinations Disguised the spectators,
and there were cries of: Horrible Let
them be silenced."
Eyraud testified that he put the body
into the sack feet foremost. This con
tradicted the previous evidence, to the
effect that the body was found head
downward in the sack, but the laborer
who first found the body, confirmed
Eyraud's statement.
