Mrs. George Tyrce of Springfield, Ohio,
Immersed at the Point of Death.



SpRNGrrELD, ONO, Feb. "A sensation
of no small proportions is exciting the
people in the vicinity of South Yellow
Springs street, occasoned by the alleged
return to life Of woman some time dead.
The woman is Mrs. George Tyree of West

been a chronic invalid from consumption,

fall which affected her spine. She has
been gradually growing weaker, and Mon
day afternoon she was seized with spell

was pronounced dead. Soon after she be-

of the body, an undertaken being sum

Before he could arrive, however, the

with water, with the aid of her husband,

The Fates Not Propitions to Mr.. Grimes
Public building Bill.


New YoRK, Feb. 0.--The S,m says: Mr..
Grimes of Georgia is one of the bachelor
members of the House of Representa-
tivcs, whose age is not given in the
Congressional Directory" He is pop
ular eloquent, superstitious and un-
lucky. He was defeated last fall by
man unheard of until the Farmers Ali
ance took him up In the Fiftieth Con-
priating 100000 for a public building in
Columbus, Ga. The bill reached the
White House the day Mr.. Cleveland
vetoed the Allentown, Pa, bill, as a
punishment of Congressman Snowden for
his vote against the Mills Tariff bill. To
be consistent, Mr.. Cleveland vetoed the
Columbus bill. Mr.. Grimes succeeded in
having the bill passed through both
Houses again this session, and 1t went to
the White House week ago.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. Grimes re-
ceived a note from Private Secretary Hal
ford that the President would consider the
Columbus bill on Saturday morning, and
that perhaps IL would be advisable for him
to call at the Mansion early. Since the
bill reached the White House Mr.. Grimes
has been exceedingly nervous about its
was to seek a clairvoyant. He simply
asked. that his future might be unfolded.
The clairvoyant said that he would soon
come into possession of a large and hand
some brick building, which would yield
him n neat income A smile enlightened
his handsome features, for in the large
brick building he imagined he saw the
Columbus Postofllce. Then the clairvoy-
ant brnnched off into talk about pretty
brunette Of the creole type he would soon
meet, and with whom he would become
fascinated. The admiration would be
mutual, and within year they would be
married. There was q moments silence.
Then, with look of expectation and all
attempt at smile, Mr.. Grimes asked his
first direct question:
Enough of this. viii the President
sign my Public Building bill?''
The clairvoyant looked him in the eyes
just for moment; then, covering her face
with her hands, remained silent for a
while. Finally she jumped to her feet,
and exclaimed dramatically:
~ see three large lettersl"
"Wbat are theyi" asked the Georgian
in tones of excitement and expectancy.
"Yes-y-e-s," whispered the clair
voyant.
Mr.. Grimes threw IS bill on the table,
rushed out, jumped into cab and drove
rapidly to the White House. He was
uslIered into Mr.. Harrison's private Office,
and found him with the Columbus bill
under consideration. Mr.. Grimes, feeling
hopeful and enthusiastic, argued earnestly
and eloquently that the bill might be
signed or else allowed to beceme law
without the Presidents approval.
IL don't see how can do either" re-
piled the President. Congress has been
too, .extravagant in bestowing public
buildings"
Then he went on to speak of the I'M
pleasant duty Of vetoing bills of this char
acter, and courteously bade the Georgian
adieu. Mr.. Grimes has lost faith in

CBICAGO's CALAMANITY.
Cold and Starvation Hand In Hand.

From the Chicago Herald, Ft6. 0.
When the cold wave rolled down upon
Chicago from Manitoba Monday morning
IL brought untold misery in its wake.
Bad as was the condition Of the poor be-
fore the intense cold made IL WORSE No
one who has not made q personal tour of
the homes of the poverty stricken can
form any idea of the fearful suffering
caused by the sudden change in the tenn
perature. The poor had been able to en-
dure the moderate cold without fire, but
the sudden change Of thirty degrees in the
temperature within few hours caused
indescribable suffering. Fire became a
positive necessity, and TO secure warmth
the suffers were ready to resort to any
thing.
Pieces of wood and bits of coal were
picked up on the streets, and for time
sufficed to relieve the wants of the unfor-
tunates. But the supply was too scant,
and the army of searchers too large for
this means of obtaining fuel to last, and
in short time the homes of the poor were
as cherries as ever, while by contrast the
cold was more intense. Then, in some
instances, furniture was broken up and
the bits of wood made to burn as long as
possible. Clothing was pawned or sold,
and every possible means of raising money
resorted to. But in spite of these efforts

S. Louis Dispatch.
In the fight against the Force bill a great
opportunity was given to Senator Arthur
i. German. Great as IL was Senator Cor
man was equal to it.--Bufdto Courier.
Since the name of Senator German has
been set to Presidential music the Mug
wump press has discovered that, after all,
his efforts against the Force bill did not
amount to anything. Baltimore american.
The greatest work in politics, and in
other lines of human endeavor, is accom-
plished by quiet planning and quiet effort.
II requires just such man as Senator
German to meet and surprise the advo-
Gates of the Force bill. Many n great
crisis in politics is very like O game of
chess. Talk in such cases is vain. Blus-
ter will not win. Vigilance, GOODNESS and
reticence command the situation, and
just at the right moment the quiet man
possessed of these qualities cries "Checkl"
and wins the game.-Attdntd Constitution.
Senator German is getting his full re-
ward for his work. Among Democrats in

GRANDPA AT THIRTY.sIX.
A Philadelphia Man Beats the Record
Easily.


From the IHiiddelphid Press.
Simon Shulberg of Philadelphia is only
80 years old, but still he is the grand
father of two children and the father of
eleven more. He has grandaunt 107
years old and his grandfather is but two
years younger. Both of these two CEN
tenarians are living in the southern part
OF Poland. The grandfather is so feeble
that he is compelled to lie in cradle.
When young man of 16 years of age
Simon married. The young bridegroom
shipped his bride in wagon and sent her
across the German border. Then he pre-
pared to fly from the country. In the
middle of the night he jumped on q horse
and made break for the border, which
was ten miles distant. The soldiers gave
chase, but Simon reached the little stream
that divides the countries first. Jumping
into the stream he swan across and was
safe in Germany.
He rejoined his child-wife at an APP
pointed place and the two fled to London.
There Shulberg worked as u shee-fnishcr
for seven years, at the end of which time
he sailed for this country. For every year
and half that elapsed since the date of
their marriage up to her death, two years
and half ago, Mrs. Shulberg presented
her husband with bouncing baby. She
lost her life by jumping out of second.

HUNDREDS OF ANXIOUS CITIZENS await,
with hope and prayer, the coming of the
policeman who will arrest and incidentally
club every one Of the fast and reckless
drivers with whom Washington is so
soroly cursed. There is not Oh the conti-
nont city where so much Of this kind of
driving is done and with such impunity.
The colored rowdy in livery is perhaps
the most numerous. but he is by no
means the worst. The driver of the ex-
press wagon holds his own, and the milk
man, sitting far back in sort of dairy on
wheels, is formidable competitor for
first prize. This morning, at the north
west corner Of the intersection of Il
and Fourteenth streets, vealy youth
Express Company made as de-
liberate an attempt to run down two
pedestrians as we have witnessed even in
Washington. Not content with grazing
them as he passed, he aggravated this by
turning his horse much more sharply
than was necessary and thus multiplying
their peril. Really, If the District Com
missioners cannot afford policemen
enough toprevent such outrages--and II is
quite clear that they cannot-they ought
Ia authorize citizens TO carry firearms for
self-protection. The shooting down OF q
few Of these rufflGns would discourage
them materially in the pursuit of their ia
yorite recreation and render life in Wash
jngton much more satisfactory.

WEARB TOLD that some of the officials
of the Washington baseball organization
resent verv bitterly the remarks
Of The CRITIC on Saturday last,
with reference to the proposed loca-
ton of the playground. 1t is difficult
20 believe that this can be true. The
CRITIC said only what every intelligent
and humane citizen must approve, to-wit:
That the ground should not be placed
near enough to the Freedman's Hospital
10 impeIil the lives or retari the recovery
Of the patients there. We said:
It seems to us quite clear, therefore,
that the only question to be decided is one
Of fact. 1t would be inhuman and dis
graceful to permit the location near the
hospital of anything calculated to harm
or distress the sufferers within its walls.
We are quite sure that the baseball people
themselves would not wish to do this.
There remains, then, only the question
Of fact.
This means, If it means anything,
that we advocate the location Of the base
hall park at any point the managers may
select, so long as no hardship to helpless
sufferers will ensue. Why, then, should
the ball people take offense? Do they in
sist on playing near the hospital whether
1t harms the inmates or not?

Household Hints.

The room which demands most careful
attention.is the sleeping apartment. Bed
rooms should be light, sunny and spa
cious and there should be constant change
Of air, window, either in the bedroom
itself or in an adjoining room, being
partly opened at night. Babies clothing
room, nor should soiled clothes be kept
there. Plants and flowers in large num-
bers should not stand in the bedroom, as
they exhale carbonic acid gas during the
night.
Salt as a tooth-powder is better than
almost any other dentifrice. 1t keeps the
teeth very white, the gums hard and rosy
and the breath fresh.
Not only for its flavor, but for health's
sake, dish OF apple sauce goes with roast
pork. In addition may be served one or
several of the following vegetables: Pota-
toes, white and sweet, cabbage, cauli-
fewer, Brussels sprouts or spinach, to-
matoes, turnips, vegetables, oysters, boiled
rice or hominy.
To mend china take a very thick solu-
ton of gum arabic and water, and stir
into IL plaster of paris until the mixture
becomes yiscous paste. Apply 1t with
brush to the fractured edges, and stick
them together. In three days the article
cannot be broken in the same place. The
whiteness Of this cement renders it doubly
valuable.
Whatever vegetables are chosen too
many of the same class or flavor should
not be used at one dinner. For instance,
one may use either cabbage spinach or
caulifiower, but not all three, nor two of
them. If hominy Is used, rice should not
be. If beans are decided upon, do not use
peas; neither serve sweet potatoes and
squash at the same time, nor commit the
blunder Of serving lettuce, beet greens
and chiccory in the same course.
Coffee as well as tea, should be made
in an earthen pot. The best utensil for
making chocolate in is widc-mouthed
porcelain pot, where the chocolate can be
cooked very rapidly and where a large
surface is exposed. BY this method the
oil does not separate from the chocolate as
II does in covered dish or when the
chocolate is cooked at q low temperature.
Pour the chocolate in an uncovered china
or ,earthenware pitcher and serve it with
bowl of whipped cream. DO not be
tempted by name TO buy so-called
chocolate pitcher. They are good for
coffee or even tea, but chocolate should
not be served in q covered pitcher. II re-
tains the heat so well that there Is no ex-
cuse for covering it like tea and coffee.

JupGING FROM THE following editorial,

THE STATEMENT THAT General MILES has
asked or will ask for court-martial to
try General CHAUNcEY McKEEvER on
charges to be preferred by himself, has
naturally attracted great deal of atten-
tion inmilitary circles. Although no def
mite information us to the nature of Gem
eral MILES grievance has transpired, it is
an open secret that he complains of Cen
eral McKEEvER's having criticized him
unfavorably, saying, in effect, that MILES
had exaggerated the Indian troubles 50 as
To magnify his own services and to pose
as a small frontier Savior after the sub
sidencc of the excitement. Many people,
however, find ii difficult to understand
why General McKEEvER should have been

10 have heard General McKEEvER utter
any such criticism, and few If any will
deny that, even If he did do IL, he did only
what hundreds Of others were doing and
said only what thousands belieyed and
thought. 1t seems to us that before in
volving himself in a fresh controversy,
General MILES would do well to justify
his action toward Colonel FoRsYru of the
Seventh Cavalry. It is the general i'm
preston just now that he inflicted very
harsh and unmerited rebukc upon that
gallant officer, and that he had much bet
