why the schooner otto was Seized.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The statement,
contained in dispatch from Ottawa,
published in the papers, that the British
sealer Otto was seized by the United
States ship Mohican, on account of an
irregularity in her papers .is ispronounced
at the navy department as without the,
slightest foundation. Reports Rave been
received at the navy Departments from
Commander Cotton, commanding the
Mohiean, which shows the Otto was
seized August 81, for violation of the
modus viyendi; that she was taken in
the Behring sea, twenty miles northwest
of Unimlka Pass, with a full sealing
outfit and sixty-eight skins on board.
1t further appears that five days before
the seizure WAS made Commander Coll
ton had received an official letter from
Commander Turner, senior British naval
officer at Ounalaska, stating that he con-
sidered the Otto a just and lawful caps
ture. No question arose in reference to
her papers. The Otto was delivered two
days after her capture to the command
ing officer of her majesty's ship Pleas
ant at Ounalaska.

that the lad was shsmming hydrophobia under the influence of great fear. Sooth- ing medicine was administered, and lingo was persuaded that he was all right. Gradually his eonvulsions ceased and he psrtook of food. He was discharged as cured on August IS.
 Last Sunday night, after preparing for bed at home, Hugo cried out to his mother that he was afraid of dog. Immediately he got down on his hands and knees and began to bark. MT. Eitel was called and went to the Presbyterian hospital post haste, and related the resppearance of the symptoms. Dr. Hupp agreed to take the boy once more under treatment, and he was taken to the hospital that night in the ambulance.
 ''We'l try spanking that boy" said the doctor. When Hugo reached the hospital he was violent and was strapped to his couch- Then, according to a story told to Times reporter Monday night al the hos pital, the boy WAS soundly spanked with splint such as is used in bandaging broken limbs.
 The effect of the spanking was wonder ful- Hugo stopped barking in short or der Alter the memory of the spanking had died away he tried to bark once more. but second spanking drove out the last vestige of hydrophobiA, and Hugo was the following day able to sit uD and laugh with the nurses over his surprising delu- sion. He said he never felt better. Thursday Hugo went home, and his father has been ordered by the doctors to spank him, and spank him hard, every time he tries to bark.

larly in the East Indian market. The Russian oil district lies in position favor able to the cheap and rapid transportation of the article to market, and the cost of production in Russia is less than in this country. The oil, while not so desirable in all respects, perhaps, is good enough and fills the bill, so that the consumer in India takes it at the less price. Russia uses American machinery in her oil fields, and she has the advantage of our latest in ventions in that line, while she is long way ahead of us in the utilization of the crude petroleum, which is so abundant and so cheap on the Caspian sea. In her steamship lines and on her Asiatic rail- roads she uses the crude oil as steam producer and finds it the cheapest, most effective and best fuel every way that can be obtained.
 Consul General Merrill writes from Cal cutta to an Indiana friend: There is no place in the world where men are so costly and so cheap. One mans sole business is to take care of 8 dog. Two men take turns in flaming master" as they call him, and the flaming is kept up day and night. A person who always looks on, the bright side of things can take comfort, perhaps, in knowing that thousands of poor wretohes earn miserable living by fan ming other men. You cannot imagine how curious it makes you feel to wake and see turbaned servant standing by your bed, breakfast tray in hand, or how disgusted you become when he brings your socks and trousers and insists on putting them on you as if you were a baby. An American feels the meanest, however, when he gets off the cars at a mountain village where there are no drags and climbs up the hill to a hotel, followed by a woman on whose back his trunk is strapped and in whose arms is baby.

A WEAK DIYORCE.

Two or three decisions which have re- gently been made show that people who want divorces that will hold must be a little careful how they get them. The lat est decision of this kind is by the Supreme court of Massachusetts. Leaving his wife in Massachusetts man went to California and got divorce. alleging the six months residence required by the law of the State. He then married another woman in California by whom he had son. In a will case before the Massachusetts Su- preme court it became. necessary to de- termine the legal status of his boy. The court finds that the California divorce was not valid for the reason that the applicant had not been a resident of that State for six months when he filed his application. His first marriage was therefore not dis solved and consequently the later one was invalid. The result is that the second woman finds that she is not lawful wife, while her child is declared to be illegiti- mate. The hardship is all the greater to bear because she had acted in good faith, firmly believing the California divorce to be perfectly valid.
 Such things as this emphasize the need of uniform divorce law.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

President Eliot of Harvard has some thing to say in the October Forum about municipal government. He points out that good municipal administration has now become absolutely impossible without the employment, on permanent tenures, of large number of highly trained and high ly paid experts in various arts and sciences as directors of the chief city departments, and the whole question of municipal re- form is covered by the inquiry, How can a city government be organized so as to se- cure the service of these expertss He be- lieves that all reform efforts ought to be primarily directed to the means of procuring under demo- cratic government, as under aristo- cratic and autocratic governments, honest, highly trained and well-paid permanent officials. "The intelligent American closely resembles the intelligent European in pre- ferring an independent and permanent DO sition. He will always accept lower pay for steady job. Before municipal gov ernment can be set right in the United States, municipal service must be made a life career for intelligent and self-respect, Ing young Americans. To say that this reform is impracticable is equivalent to 1 saying that American cities cannot be we'll conducted and that is equivalent to
 saying that the democratic form of gov
 ernment is going to be failure for more
 than half of the total population"
 This is sensible, but it will not meet tho
 approval of the politicians who rule thu
 cities. Through their efforts and the in
 difference of good citizens municipal gov
 ernment in this country is in such shap'
 that most students of it have little hope of any radical reformation.

SPANKING FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.
A Novel Treatment Tried With Grat-

From the New York Times.l

From the New York nmesl
 Spanking hydrophobia out of boy with 8 wooden splint is not exactly in ac- cord with established usage and tradition, but the experiment is, nevertheless, meet ing with gratifying success at the Presby- terian hospital. The subject of this novel and not entirely painless cure is seventeen year-old Hugo Eitel, the son of Emil Eitel, a saloon keeper at One Hundred and Tenth street and Fifth avenue. Young Eitel is weak-minded and suffers from heart dis ease.
 Early in August he visited friends in As toria, L. l., and while there was fright ened by large black dog, which jumped over a fence and bit him on the hand and leg. Some of the neighbors asked him if he WAS not afraid of getting hydrophobia, and this suggestion preyed on his mind until he began to imagine that he wes a victim of the dread disease and parked and frothed at the mouth. In this condition he was admitted to the hospital on August 12, and his symptoms were so sfrikingly like those of hydrophobia that the hanse surgeon, Dr. Frank Lemoyne Hupp, was for time puzzled by the case and undeci. ded whether or not Hugo. had the real dis ease. The action of his heart was accele rated, he suffered from frequent and vio lent convulsions, he parked like dog and | frothed at the mouth. He was 30 violent | that it was necessary to strap him to tn, l bed But he manifested no abhorrence fo, l water, and this circumstance alone led t. the conclusion on the part of Dr. Hupl

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Sam Jones, in tsrevival" sermon at Rome, Georgia, talked 80 violently about the moral condition of the town that he has been summoned before the local grand jury to tell all he knows about crime and corruption in Rome. He will probably not have much to say. It is easy to make charges, but not always easy to prove them.
 A train of two hundred and twenty-five loaded four-wheel coal cars passed over the Lehigh valley railroad few days ago. It was the longest and heaviest train ever carried over any road in this country, and that means in the world. Naturally this train suggests comparison with the trains of Conestoga teams which sixty years ago .toiled between eastern Pennsylvania and Pittsburg.
 The Supreme court of Minnesota has decided that contracts for future delivery of grain "not intended to represent actual transactions, but merely to pay and re- ceive the difference between the agreed price and the market price at a future day, are in the nature of wagers on the future price of the commodity, and are therefore void" This decision wont in terfere much with speculation in grain.

In 1885 there were three electric | railroads in operation, with thirteen cars in 1886, five with thirty cars; in 1887 | seven with eighty-one cars; in 1888, thirty two with 255 cars; in 1889, 104 with 96;

NIETHODISM.
The Ecumenical Conference About to Convene at Washington. | no rc,ff ha

The Ecumenical Conference About to
 Convene at Washington.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Such an assembly as the Methodist Ecu menical conference, which is about to con vene at Washington, D. O., has never be- fore been held in the United States, and, if present arrangements are allowed to stand, it will be twenty years before this country can be favored with another such .conclave. The design being to bring to- gether representative Methodists from all lands into which that system has extend ed, it has been thought that these Ecumen- icals could not be conveniently held often CT than once in a decade, and that fair play would require them to alternate, as to the place of meeting, between the old world and the new. Naturally the first gather ing of this kind was held in the country where Methodism originated, the immedi- ate scene of that memorable convention being City Road chapel in London Wesley's chapel, which adjoins the house where much of his life was spent and where his death occurred, and which has for it's background the cemetery in which, with those of many other Methodist worthies, his honored remains are en- tombed. This was in 1881, and it is a | striking fact that previously to that time there had been, not only no conference rep. resenting the worlds Methodism, but none in which the privilege of looking one an other in the face had been enjoyed by the numerous Methodist sects on either of the | two continents. Since then, however, the l American Methodists have had such con | ference. It was held at Baltimore in De cember, 1884, to celebrate the centennial | of the famous Christmas conference, al l which, in the same city, under the moldine hands of Coke and Asbury, American Me.hodism took on its first organized | form. It is maintained by some that the first suggestion of an Ecumenical confer ence fell, in an inspired moment, from tht eloquent lips of Bishop James; but be thii as it may, the credit of making the pro ject feasible, and of bringing about thu first realization of it, must be given to tn, indefatigsble Dr. A. c. George, who shortly after the first Methodist Ecumeni cal, was taken, in the full glory of thi
 achievement, to the larger Ecumenical, il which not Methodists alone, but all tn
 other sects are united.
 Grand and popular as is the Ecumenica idea to-day, it was far from being receives
 with universal favor at first in either Eng
 land or America. In the mother-lan'
 there were not only divisions in the Meth
 odist fold, but, as legacy from the strife
 which had caused these divisions, bite : enmity remained. Fancy Dr. George Or
