A physician has Just been writing ON
the subjectof death by fire. and lie seeks
to correct certain common errors CON
corning it Our estimate of the inten-
sity of the pain involved In such a
mode of death is very natural: nothing
more So Knowing the intense pail,
that follows the burning of a small part
of the flesh, we naturally imagine that
when a person is wholly exposed TO
the flame thatintense local pain is null
tiplicd in the exact proportion of the
surface exposed to the Influence of the
fire. Happily, however, there arc the
very best reasons for regarding all
these distressing impressions as erro-
neous In nearly or quite all forms of
exposure, torture and death. expert
ence has proved that nature kindly
draws over the victim the sheltcring
veil of oblivion.
The drowning man floats away in
peaceful dream of Illusions. The man
who falls from a precipice is made in
sensible by the blow. The too fire.
quent victim of railroad disaster is
stupefied at the first shock and knows
nothing later. Tie smoke and flames
that are to. destroy life bring their
blessed anodyne as the first step i'm the
sad proceeding. II is therefore well
TO reconstruct the almost universal
but erroneous presumption that those
who meet death in a couflarration or
many other forms of violence or ap-
parent suffering must of necessity en-
dure terrible pain. Distressing as
these modes of death may seem, it Is
both reasonable and eminently consol-
atory to assure ourselves that after
the very first few moments tile event
is quite painless. New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

Used His FIDDLE for a PADDLE.

A party of three young ladies, with
fiddler as an escort, undertook to
cross the Rivanna in canoe. The
river was somewhat swollen and some
ice running. After passing the middle
of the stream the canoe turned over.
Two of the young ladies chung to the
boat and the other was washed down
by the current and drowned. The
fiddler mounted astride the canoe, and
as tile paddle was lost, used his fiddle
TO propel the canoe To the bank, and
by that means they We're saved. Co

In country like ours where the
people rule by the casting of their
ballots, expressive of their will,
there is not the slightest excuse in
restoring the force to right wrongs.
To do so is a cowardly and treason
able trick. Let us know our rights,
understand our wrongs, then march
up to the polls and speak with the
voice of intelligent freemen.

They declined to say anything relative to
their action at the rail meetings. The Great
Northern is making strong fight for low
rates to st. Paul. and will accept no rate on
higher basis than II cents frst-class. IL is
argued that the rate from New York TO Chi
cago and New York to Duluth should be the
same, and that the rate from Duluth, which
is 100 miles, should not be as high as that
from Chicago to ST. Paul, distance of 400
miles.
The Omaha and Duluth have announced q
new lake and rail combination. Tariffs have
been issued, effective April z. quoting a rate
of 27l2 cents on -four destined from St Paul

OHIO MASONS AT ODDS.
Expelled Cerneuisfs Take Their
Cases into Court.

CLEVELAND, o., April 2.-For several
years past the Masons Of Ohio have been
divided on accountof what is known as
the Cerneau rite. To-day the centre-
versy was taken iate the common pleas
court. Three suits were filed by County
Recorder A. L. Anderson, Deputy Pro-
bate Judge f. NJ. Chandler and Ale.
Gilbert, against the grand lodge of Ohio,
Leander Burdick, grand master mason
of the state, and. Forest City lodge
of this city. The petitions alleged
that a conspiracy was entered
into by the grand lodge to
GUST certain members who have become
Cerneau Masons. By systematic work
the grand lodge was captured by the al
legged censpirators and all those not in
sympathy with them to go. EdictS
and resolutions were passed in direct
conflict with the constitution, and the
grand lodge went outside of its duties
to expel members and lodges obnoxious
to the sight of the conspirators. Charges
were preferred against Anderson,
Chandler and Gilbert, and the hearing
of these charges was set for this even
ing, at special meeting called for
that purpose. The plaintiffs claimed
that the hearing would be q farce SO
far as a just and equitable hearing, is
concerned, and say they have no ade-
auate remedy at law in case they
are expelled. They asked the
court to enjoin the hearing and
expulsion of the plaintiffs in the three
cases. One of the principal charges
against Chandler was that he delivered
an address at Cerneau banquet, in
which some of the secrets of Masonry
wero given away. Judge Lamson heard
the motion for restraining order and
granted it, pending hearing.

HOPEFUL KICKING.

There have been at various times evil
denceS of dissatisfaction among the
farmers of localities at the political con-
ditIons in which they were, made factors.
They have occasionally stood out from
their parties and recited their griey-
ances. but party attachments OR pref
udices have soon quoted them for the
benefit Of the party. But the stress of
the partisan eXlgency has passed. and
their political insomnia has begun to
come to view again. The past few
years this agricultural disqulet has had
more frequent, if sporadic, activity.
They have been thinking and studying
over questions of late without stopping
to hunt up party glasses. The result is
that they have become kiekers. The
popularity of the present kicking is not
altogether in its frequency or vigor, but
in its concerted character. In Kansas
they are said to number 100000, and one
of the minor incidents of their foot eX-
erciSe is likely to be the expulsion of
the sarcastic and unseryiceable In
CALLS from the United States sem
ate. He is not leader in their di-
rection, at meeting of the representa-
tives of the alliances but few days ago
there was reported entire unanimity in
the resolve to exact a pledge of all can
didates for the legislature to vote
against INGALLS,, In Iowa, too, the
farmers have been kicking to some pur
pose. So in other states. Down in
South Carolina they have strong al
lance, and are courageous enough to
take the political field in advance of the
other parties. They have already nomi-
mated their candidate for governor, and
will probably elect him. In Texas,
Missouri and other Southern states, the
farmers are in the kicking lines. They
are alike in Massachusetts and Dakota
doing the pedal act. They know they
want relief from burdens that are Ill.,
justly oppressive. 1t is not to be eX-
pected that all their kicking will be on
hemost judiclous lines, but they will
aid in clearing the way from abuses and
affording opportunities for bene fetal

DANGER OF nfrNN1Nc

The federal judge of the st. Louis
district has rendered a decision in re-
lation to what may be written on
postal card which is rather strained; but
as the supreme court of the United
States can now be relied on TO sustain
any sort of cranky decision, business
men who are in the habit of dunning
their debtors by postal card had better
look "a leetle out" A st. Louis bust
ness man sent postal card to one of
his customers calling his attention to an
outstanding debt, and telling him that
if it was not paid at once the claim
would be put into the hands of eollec-
ton agency with instructions to institute
suit. The st. Louis business man was
indicted for sending this postal card
under the statute which makes it a
criminal offenSe to mail postal card on
which is written OF printed any matter
of ga libelous, scurrilous. defamatory
or threatening character, or calculated
or intended obviously to reflect inju-
riously upon the character or conduct
of another"
Judge THAYER, of the st. Louis dis
trict court, held that the contents of the
postal card were evidently intended to
degrade the debtor customer in the eyes
