One Cent Damages for a Minister.

The case Of the Rev. E. s. Huntress
against William L. Breckenridge on the
charge Of SANDER was continued at the
superior court in Northampton recently,
the minister asking $4,000 for his al
legged slandered reputation. This case is
a peculiar one, as it is rarely that a
clergyman brings such a suit against any
Of his parishioners. The history of the
case goes back to April, 1889, when the
Rev. Mr.. Huntress was preaching at
Ware for the Centre church. He proved
an cratic preacher, a lively talker and
inclined to fire sharp shots at his people.
To use his own expression, he "plowed
deep" in his preaching, so that Deacon
Anderson was led to exclaim: "Why, he
pounded US so much that every one Of us
was mellow all over. His metaphors
took personal twist in his preaching.
The church got into a row in which the
defendant took sides against the min
lister, so that he was designated by Hun
tress as the dominating personality in
the contest. After Mr.. Huntress was
dismissed the contest was still kept up.
The jury gave Huntress one cent dam
ages.-Springfeld Republican.

Koch's Lymph in Colorado,

Several Koch hospitals have been es-
tablished in the United States, but with
varying success, except that in Denver,
which seems to have been an unquali-
fed success. In fact, Colorado alone
appears to possess all the admirable quail
tiles that are demanded in treating con-
sumption. This proposition met with
the Endorsement of the national conven-
ton of Climatologists, which met in
Denver last year and reported in favor
of this state as the only safe haven for
persons afflicted with pulmonary disease.
In view of all these circumstances, it is
reasonable to suppose that combina-
ton of scientific treatment, healthy regi-
men, and injections of the health giving
lymph should produce the highest per-
centage Of cures. Medical records COL
lated since the Introduction of the Koch
lymph go to prove that many patients
have been cured, some of whom have
gone to their homes in lower attitudes,
where they enjoy immunity from the
disease.-Denver News.

A Curious Twelve Mile Railroad.

In railroad circles there is considerable
interest manifested in the reported sale
Of the famous Rainbow" route of Otto
Mears. The report serves to draw at
tention to what is undoubtedly one of
the most unique lines of railroad in the
world. The road is not more than
twelve miles in length, extends from Sill
verton to Ironton, but, as a marvellous
result Of engineering skill, deserves to
rank as one of the wonders of the world.
No one was quite so near heaven on a
railroad as when travelling on one of
Mears' "baby" passenger cars.
The trip from Silverton to Ironton
leaves a vivid impression on the
mind Of the tourist. It skirts the
edge Of unfathomable abysses, winds
over mountain peaks, through regions
OF eternal snow, leaps cataracts, spans
gorges, and finally bumps right into the
solid wall of the granite mountain.
How this obstruction is overcome is not
at first apparent, but by the aid of a
complicated set of turntables engines
and cars are turned around and sail
merrily down hill to their destination

A New Leper Colony.

Five Cinnamon, afflicted with tho lep-
rosy, were recently removed from Vic
toria, B. G., to Darceyi sland, which will
now be used exclusively as lazaretto.
The patients objected strenuously and
one Of them attempted to commit suicide,
but was prevented. Darcy island is
situated about twenty miles from Vic
toria, and is one of the San Juan archi-
pelago. 1t has an area Of about 900
acres and is a beautiful spot. This island
was uninhabited and was reserved by
the provincial government. twas select
ed by Mayor Grant and Alderman Hol-
land, of Victoria, as an appropriate loca-
ton for lazaretto.
The building is strong and substan-
tial frame house, divided into six good
sized rooms, each of which opens on
covered porch. Each apartment has a
cooking stove and table, an iron bed
stead with spring mattress and plenty Of
bed clothing. Each of the lepers has a
room to himself, and all are supplied
with abundant utensils for housekeeping.
Rice, sugar, -four, meat, bacon, potatoes,
dried fish and every imaginable delicacy
dear to the Celestial appetite are piled
up in the apartment utilized as general
storeroom. Nothing has been overlooked
even opium was provided, and when
the miserable wrecks of humanity found
out they would not be deprived of their
soothing drug they laughed and chatted
gleefully.-San Francisco Examiner.

An Expensive Bit of Tapestry.

To those interested in tapestry it would
be we'll worth visit to Sloane's store to
view the greatest piece of Gobelin
tapestry ever presented-as far as known
to any one excepting royalty itself, for
it is princely gift that the French gov
eminent has recently presented to the
New York hospital. The cost was $780,
900, and it is fifteen feet high and twenty
feet long, and describes with cruel real
ism the ".Pestiferes de Jaffa," and is a
slightly diminished fac-simile of the cele-
brated painting of that name, done in
1904 by the famous artist Gros. Napo-
leon has entered the plague stricken hos
pital at Jaffa, followed by several Of his
brilliant suite Of officers-Berthiens, Bes-
sieres and Davoust-and one Of his sur
geons. They press closely after their
chief, with handkerchiefs held to their
faces, gazing with wonder at the daunt-
less courage displayed by their brave
commander.
Napoleon, still believing in his star of
destiny, stands fearlessly amid his plague
stricken soldiers, daring even to touch
one Of them, who upon hearing his be-
loved generals voice has dragged his
poor, diseased, worn body before him,
and with true soldierly instinct raises
his hand to his head with military pre-
cision. One Of the native surgeons in
Turkish costume endeavors to keep the
emperor from too close contact with the
plague stricken man by gently pushing
him away, but it is Of no avail. The
brilliant trappings and rich colors of the
officers uniforms throw into yet stronger
contrast the sickening spectacle of the
inmates of the place. It is stated that it
took three men twelve years, working
steadily upon it. The wonder grows
when one thinks of the marvellous blend
ing of the flesh tones and the rich colors
of mantles, scarfs and effects reproduced
by this medium in wool, and to think of
the weaver doing his picture on the
wrong side with such wonderful results.
There are twenty-four figures in the FORE
ground, the central group being Napo-
leon and his generals. Eagle.

The Banner Baby Year.

In 1888, which was considered re-
markedly prolific year, the number of
births recorded IN this city was 26, 296,
an increase Of nearly 1900 over 1887,
while the regular rate Of increase from
year to year is bout 900.
The records Of 1891 promise to COM
pletely eclipse these figures. From Jan.
! to June 1 the births registered at the
health Office numbered 1881, while for
a corresponding period Of 1889 1O,7SS
was the number, an increase for the five
months of 1854. Physicians say that
there will be remarkably large number
OF happy families before the year 1899
comes to greet us.
The health Office has also noticed the
large increase in births for this year and
will take extra steps to procure thor
!ough registration. Advices received at
this office show that the increase is true
of the whole country. An extraordinary
large number Of birthdays will date
from the good year 1891.-Philadelphia
