BUTTONS IN HER NosTRILs.
A Louisville Child Carried Them There for
Five Long Year,.

LOUISVILLE, April 5.-The discovery of a
shoe button in the head of little Mary NJ McKier-
nan, which was made about one month ago,
proves to be a more remarkable case than was
at first supposed. Yesterday another button,
larger than the first, was removed from her
nose by DR.. Allhands. The child is years of
age. When she was years of age Mary was
playing one day on the floor with lot of but
TONS some of which had been removed from
old shoes. The little child thoughtlessly put
these to her nose and managed to snufr several
of them, as it now appears, into her head. This
fact was not known to her parents. During
the five years that have interviewed since then
she has been subject to violent hemorrhaees.
Many physicians were called IN, but the child's
case baffled them ALL Her health de-
cliued with each succeeding year.s
1t was expected that after the removal of the
foreign substance the attacks of hemorrhage
would cease. But this was not the case; for
they continued with the usual violence and
the child's life was despaIred of. Yesterday
DR.. Allhands was again called in by Mr. Nc
Herman. Another attack had come on, in the
violence of which Mary complained of some
thing in her nose. 1t was found to be another
shoe button. Unlike the first, it still retained
the iron eye, which, however, had almost rusted
away. DIR. Allhands says the button had dur
ing the i've years been lying alongside the one
first removed, and he would not be surprised if
there was still another in her head,

WISE CorNsEL TO STRIKERS.

While there is a wide conflict of report
and opinion concerning the prior course
of the labor leaders on the question of pre-
serving order, there is no doubt that their
utterances reported on Saturday were of the
right character. THE DISPATCH has not
scrupled to point out that the past conduct
of the strike tended in the direction of such
q conflict as has taken place. 1t is, there
fore, no more than just when the labor lead
ers advise in favor OF law and order to give
them credit for it.
The speeches of the leaders of the strike
on Saturday, as reported by The DISPATCH
special kilograms, were very laudably full
OF urgent advice to maintain order and re-
spect the law. The speech of Mr.. Watchorn
was especially timely. He enjoined the
strikers to in no sense violate the law,
warned them that they cannot conciliate
public opinion by illegal acts, and made a
very strong point by telling the strikers
that they must keep sober and that whisky
is their most dangerous enemy. Of similar
purport is the reported intention of Vice
President Penna to sue the paper
which reported him as declaring
that they would "wIn the strike,
BY fair means or foul." If this report was
false. an undoubted injustice was done to
Mr. Penna, and he owes it to himself and
the cause of labor to have it set right in the
most emphatic manner.
With the strike placed squarely upon the
platform o! scrupulous respect for the law,
none will question the propriety, although
they may doubt the policy of the strikers
abstaininC from work and urging others TO
follow their example. 1t is hardly possible
to avoid the reflection that if this advice had
been adhered to heretofore attacks upon coke
works aud the assaults upon men who had
returned to work, would not have furnished
the excuse for arming sherifs' deputies or
calling out the military. That is matter of
the past, while the responsibility for the
deaths at Morewood will undoubtedly be
determined by legal authority. For the fu-
ture, however, it is a gratifying duty to rec
ogniza the fact that the advice Of the labor
leaders is wise and pacific.
Obedience to the law and respect for indi-
vldual rights is the most thorough safe
guard for the American workman. If the
labor organizations maintain that principle
OF action they can rely upon the public ap-
proval and sympathy.

KOCHS DISCOVERY,

A short time ago the drift OF testimony
was against the value of tuberculin, or DR..
Koch's lymph. New testimony is coming
in which indicates that it has some value,
though not the elixir of life that early re-
ports represented it. DR.. Bergman, of
Berlin, has given the results of his treat
ment with it, which he claims establishes
its value. Several New York physicians
have also concluded experiments which
show that it will be of much use. While
the testimony appears very conflicting it
can really be harmonized as showing that
the lymph is not available for the ad-
vanced stages of consumption, but may be
of great use in the earlier stages. Thus it
gradually assumes the character of an i'm
portant discovery though not the general
salvation of pulmonary humanity that it
was supposed to be. Further experience is
needed to make this conclusion final; but
the tendency OF the evidence is as stated.

SUFFERING FOR THE HORSES.

The news that the horses in this city have
got the grip. is singular instance of the
ills which human flesh is heir to spreading
among the equine race. If the horses could
establish a sanitary bureau it would be
highly pertinent to inquire whether
the disease is produced among
them by the atmospheric conditions
which they have resisted longer
than the men, or whether it has been COM
municated from the human sufferers to the
horses. In the latter case the horses would
be justified in putting the human race under
strict quarantine. The inAiction has been
severe enough heretofore without the ad-
ditional burden of putting mans noblest
and best friend among the brute creation
through the same suffering. But if the
horses have to stand the epidemic all that
can be done is to give them good care and
bear it patiently until better weather brings
relief

MICHIGAN's NEW PLAN

OF Choosing Presidential Electors by Con-
gressional Districts.
Lansing Dispatch.1
The Miner bill, providing for the election of
Presidential Electors by Congressional districts,
passed the House of Representatives after a
hotly contested battle that continued nearly
all day. The Democrats and Patrons of Indus
try, who are in a majority in the House, voted
soldly for the bill, the Democrats because by a
proposed gerrymander they expect to secure
seven Electors in Republican State in 1892,
and the Patrons because they consider it q step
toward electing President anu Vice President
directly by the people, which is one Of their
pet ideas. The Republicans opposed the bill
because they hold that the President is Presi-
dent of the States as units, and not OF the
people in the States. but chiefly because they
wanted to prevent. if possible, one Of the ef-
fects of the impending gerrymander. There is
almost no doubt that the bill will pass the SEN
ate and be signed by the Governor. It is stated
here that Michigan will be the first State TO
adopt this plan in so years.

VALUABLE CONCESSIONS

Granted to Americans in Several South
American Republics.
WASHINGTON, April 5-The following in
formation is furnished by the Bureau of Amer.
lean Republics: The Government of Honduras
has granted to Messrs. E. W. Perry and F. M.
ImbodeD, both citizens of the United States, a
concession OF land covering the entire region
known as Mosquito, the payment for which is
to be made in the construction of expensive
public works, including an army road from
Tegucigalpa to the coast of the Caribbean Sea,
more than 800 miles in length. another a canal
20 miles long, IL yards wide and deep, to con-
meet the Caratasca lagoon with the Guayapa
river. In addition to these works, Messrs.
Perry and lmboden agree to erect 100 miles of
telegraph line, establishing communication by
wire between the Mosquito region and the IN
terror of the country. Actiye measures will at
once be taken to induce immigrants to settle
upon the lands of the concession, and liberal
inducements are offered
The Government of Honduras has issued
decree continuing for another term of years the
Leon and Alger between Puerto Cortez, Belize
and New Orleans. The Government of Guate-
mala has recently granted concession to

PATTIsoN AND REAPPoRTIoNMENT.

a report TO the effect that unless the
Legislature passes apportiOnment bills
that the Governor can approve, he will call
an extra session, works the Philadelphia
Press into a denunciatory fever 1t refers
to 'ithe folly of eight years ago" as con-
elusive argument, and while admitting
the constitutional necessity of apportion-
ment declares that the Legislature will
have done its full duty when it has sent to
the Governor bills agreed to BY the majority
in each House. and only that can be ex-
pected."
This is a new version of the theory that
the constitutional method of legislation
need not be observed by the Legislature.
The document which is supposed to be fun
damental in this State, makes the approval
of the Governor just as requisite to legisla-
lion as the agreement Of either branch-un-
less the majority in both is large enough to
pass it over his veto. Yet in regard to
legislation the constitutional necessity of
which is conceded by the Press, it asserts
that there is no need for respecting the
veto of the Governor. Since it admits that
this legislation must be enacted by the
present Legislature we are unable
to cOnstrue its language as having
any other meaning than that the
provisions of the Constitution on this
point can be wiped out by party policy.
There has been much ignoring the Constitu-
tion by the politicians and corporations of
Pennsylvania, on the principle OF the Hon.
Tim Campbells question: whats the
Constitution among friends?' but this is
the first proposition we have seen for the
abolition of the veto power by the edict of
the party organs.
As to "ihe extrayagant folly of eight
years ago." the Governor at that time
called the Legislature together to perform
a constitutional duty which it had left un-
done. The act was brought up against him

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH,I
SCRANTON. April. 5.-Philip Williams and
Nimrod Edwards miners, who left with party
of miners from this and the Pittsburg coal
districts for Ardmore, Indian Territory, have
returned, and report things far different in
that place than they have been painted. They
say they arrived there three weeks ago, and
for five days received the wages promised. 81 so
per day. Then the company ordered them to
go to work for so cents per ton, and they OBJ
jected. as they could only earn 81 4S. per day at
that rate. They were promised S4 per yard for
the air way. and So for the gang way, and that
part of the agreement was kept by the COM
pany. Even at this rate they could not make a
living, and many of the miners left as soon as
they received orders to work under the smaller
wages.
About 80 of the Eastern Pennsylvania miners
left at once, and many from the Pittsburg dis
trlct also picked up traps when they learned
they had been taken in. Many of the miners
scattered through the State, andiothers went
down into Texas. So many of them left that
the company became frightened. and began
paying few of those who were left the
promised wages.

Strange Discovery Made In Cave by
Frightened Hoosier.
CoLUM BUS IND. April 5.-Years ago a man
named Baines claimed to have discovered
wild man in 4 cave near Vernon. whom he de-
scribed as covered with a growth of hair, but
he was ridiculed so much over his story that
he would never disclose the location of the
cave.
Recently Alexander Shepard and friend
from Vernon. while strolling through the hills
IN that vicinity, discovered the opening of a
cave, and providing themselves with lantern,
they explored the interior until they found
themselves confronted with form resemb bling
that of gorilla or a wild man, covered with
rough coat of brown hair. The strange creature
looked at them for second and then ambled
off, and the gentlemen were too much alarmed
to follow. While retracing their steps the ex-
plorers found storeroom partly filed with po-
tatoes. corn and wheat. with bones of fowls,
etc. Farmers in the vicinity have frequently
complained Of the loss of farm products, and it
is believed q clew has been found to the thiey-
cry. A party is forming to explore the cave

GALVESTON, TEX, April 5.-Last evening
two budding youths. boy and a girl, just at
the age when they imagine themselves ten years
older than they really are, made an attempt to
experience the joys of married bliss. They are
pupils in the Ball High School. Sidney Trash,
the young man in the affair, is a son of DR..

After school was dismissed they concluded to
run off to Houston TO get married. They did
not 60, however. A younger sister was the in
strument in frustrating the design. When the
party reached the depot she appealed to Off.

was arrested on the charge of abduction. but
when the case came up this morning the
charge was withdrawn.
