A Doctor Who Believes in Smoking.

resort to the three regular meals of previous
custom. The subtraction of a meal didn't in
any way affect my general health injuriously,
but, on the contrary, the digestive flInction
was performed more completely if more
slowly; and from being a regular sufferer from
constipation, also, was entirely relieved of
that disorder. l think the man who wishes to

The manner in which the leading citizens
of Washington have taken hold of the project
of raising 900 guarantee fund to secure
the Grand Army encampment for this
city next year leaves no room TO
doubt that the encampment will be
held here. The organization to raise
funds was perfected with celerity that meant
business, and the gentlemen who were desig-
mated to solicit subscriptions got to work with
a promptitude worthy of all praise. The re-
ports which they make regarding the outcome
of their efforts show that citizens generally are
alive to the importance of securing the en-
campment for Washington, and that the de-
sired guarantee fund will be secured, although
the time is short. The city will receive back
many times over the amount OF the guarantee
fund If the encampment is held here, and
business men who subscribe will make the
best kind of an investment

DR.. SoUTHwICK, of Buffalo, one OF the wit
nesses of the electrical executions at Sing Sing,
declares they were instantaneous, painless and
humane. There seems no good reason TO doubt
that this is the TRUTH and it is difficult to under
stand what the opponents Of death by electro
lysis hope to gain by fighting the acceptance
of the truth. All that has been known for
years concerning the effects Of the application
of large charges of electricity to living
bodies goes to prove that death is instantan-
eous; that the electric current travels so fast
that the nervous system is paralyzed or de-
stroyed almost before there is time for any SEN
sation to reach the brain. AS to the allega-
tion that inficting the death penalty by
electricity is more revolving than by the rope,
there was certainly nothing in the proceedings
at Sing Sing, as far as discoverable, to
support it. The death penalty is inflicted
for the express purpose of deterrng from
crime, and if death by electrolysis
impresses the popular imagination more
strongly than death by the rope, this would
seem to be an argument in favor Of the former
The whole question of the effectiveness Of the
death penalty as deterrent from crime seems
to be an open one; but so long as death sim
lieted on certain classes Of criminals on the
theory that others viii thereby be deferred
from crime, it would seem, to be the natural
course TO adopt that method of execution

Improvements at the Press Club.

Among the latest improvements at the Press
Club is the introduction of electric lights,
which illuminated the handsome home of the
newspaper men last night for the first time.
Messrs. Royce and Marean put in the fixtures.
and the current was turned on from the wires
of the United States Electric Light Company
just before dark. The effect was very salts

in the building, and next week electric fans

THE singular conflict of reliable witnesses
as to the real condition of Mr.. Blaine's health
leaves the great mass of people in position
of unpleasant uncertainty On the subject. But
the fact that The HERALD's artist can perpe-
trate the cartoon shown on the ninth
page to-day proves that he is quite easy
in his mind regarding Mr. Blaine's
condition and should have reassuring ef-
feet on the thousands of readers Of THE HER
AID who, forgetful of political differences,
are earnestly hoping that ''the man from
Maine'' may long be spared to his friends and
the country.

THE Democracy of Ohio outside of Cincin-
natl seems to be pretty nearly solid for Camp
bell. AS for the Democrats as well as the
other residents of Cincinnati, they are gener-
ally understood to run so largely to the liquid
diet furnished over-the Rhine, it would no
doubt be unreasonable to expect them to be
solid for any one.

THE Mayor of Philadelphia has requested

GENERAL BENJAMIN +. BUTLER is about to
celebrate himself, his ancestors and his family
in print in three languages, English, French
and German. The prospectus of his autobi-
ography-the title of which, by the way, this
prospectus shows to be "Butler's Books
out, printed in three languages, and profusely
but not very artisticslly illustrated. The un-
attractive appearance of the illustrations is,
no doubt, in part due to the quality of the pa
per used in the prospectus, and the fact that
the printing is less carefully done than it will
be in the completed work. There is nothing
Of sensational or revelational character in
the prospectus, but 1t has evidently been pre-
pared to arouse expectations of something
more zestful in the completed work. There
are pictures of the General at different ages
and in different poses, including picture OF
bust made in 1868. There are also pictures of
his father and mother, his wife, son and daugh
ter, his birthplace, his bedroom, and many
other buildings and places of interest in con-
nection with his early life and military career.
The publication Of the complete work will, no
doubt, be watched for with keen interest by
thousands of people who are interested in
General Buffers remarkable career. 1t should
be said that the English edition of the work is
dedicated to "The good and brave soldiers of
the Grand Army of the Republ!c;" the Ger
man edition to General Won Moltke, and the
French edition to President Carnot.

A Disease Caused by Quinine.

DR.. Barton, of Mississippi, in the Memphis
Journal of the Medical Science, charged that
malanal hematuria, disease prevalent in the
low river country of the South, was really
nothing but cinchonism, due to the "absurd
and criminal quantity'' of quinine used. He
stated that he is fresh from the teachings of
late authorities In medicine, but has had 20
