AROUND THE HORN.

New York paper says that dozen big
barks are to be built to engage in trade
between that city and Puget Sound. The
same journal says that about forty vessels,
mostly large full-rigged ships, are sailing be-
tween San Francisco and Eastern ports.
The vessels range in size from $3.50 tons
register to 1900 tons. Cargoes run in value
from $3.50, 900 to 100000 New York sends
mixed merchandise; Philadelphia, iron in
various forms; Baltimore. coal. The YES

A trip around the Horn ordinarily occu-

a CHANGE OF TONE.

An evening paper which was quite re-
speetIul toward the Grand Jury until the
Supreme Court declared il illegal now init
mates that the members showed lack of
courage in pointing out offenses while with
hold ing the names Of offenders. If the jury
has shown lack of courage, tie fact may
be easily accounted for. When courts cut
loose from law and precedent, people need
be careful what they do One of the most
astute lawyers in this city advised men,
her of the Grand Jury, in his capacity of
legal adviser, not to sign the report as it was
filed. It is not known what view the court
may take of an action to hold the members of
the late jury responsible for their statements.
The law of the matter is, that an alleged
libel is justified BY proof of its truth. But
now does any one know what view of the
law the Supreme Court may take of case
in which a member of The late Grand Jury
is a defendant? The example of reasoning
given in the Bruner case does not inspire
public confidence. 1t is possible that Buck
ley may find in that decision encouragement
to commence an action against certain men,

a CRIPPLE IN JAIL.

A local in the Christmas CALL stated that
a cripple named Rosenberg was in jail for
the offense of selling lottery tickets Ros-
enberg is reported as having supported his
Family by supplying people who want to
play at a game in which the chances are
forty to one against them with the means to
do SO. Laws against lottery tickets are
right. But it seems a little hard to select q
cripple as the chief ii not the only offender
against the law. There is no trouble about
buying lottery tickets in this city. One
walks into one of many stores, tells the
clerk what she wants-for most of the pur.
chasers are women-selects one ticket or a
number Of tickets from large number SUBJ
mitted. pays the money the purchase calls
for and walks out. 1t is as easy as buying
Christmas-book during the holidays. Few
people have any idea of the proportion of
our young people who purchase tickets each
month. 1t never seems to occur to them that
the transaction is unlawful. Everybody
seems TO know where tickets are for sale
except the police.

MOTHER AND SON.

Tenement House.

Ounu insane anu surviving III n pcOHi Al
Tenement House.
Mother ard son insane and starving.
Arrested for lunacy on the complaint of
neighbors and taken away in the same
patrol wagon.
These startling facts describe two arrests
made by Patromen Beal and Caspar The
two officers beats adjoin on Cutter street.
They were standing at Court and Cutter
streets, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, when
a woman approached them ana demanded
the arrest Of some ''crazy people" who were
her neighb0rs in the tenement house at 1853
Cutter street. The officers made their way
to the house and under the guidance of the
woman found room which was occupied
by William Winston, o. and his mother.
Ann, 40. The officers stopped outside the
door.
Just wait a minute" said the woman.
They'll start to boiler. They keep up II
racket all night long sometimes"
Sure enough. i'll few moments a mans
voice was heard i'll violent exhcrtation of
some kind. The meaning was in doubt, as
his words were unintelligible. A woman's
voice joined in soon, and the strange sounds
made echoes through the building The
officers knocked at the door. and a pale
faced woman, with staring eyes and dis
ordered hair, opened it. The noise ceased in
stantiy. Despite the woman's wild appear
ance she answered the questions of the
officers In an apparently sane manner at
first. When she attempted any extended
explanation, however, her Eighty speech
plainly Indicated that her mind was affected.
While the officers were listening half pity
iDgly to her disconnected statement, the man
whose voice had been heard came out of a
corner. He was thin and white-iaced, and
from his rambling appeals for mercy for
himself and mother il was plain that his
mind was much the worse affected of the
two. From his manner 1t seemed that he
knew the Officers came to arrest him and
was endeavorng to convince them that he
was all right.
The room in which the two had been liv-
ing showed evidence Of some effort to keep
IL in order, although it was almost bare of
furniture and uncarpeted. Nothing in the
way of eatables was found in the room except
little dry bread aud few scraps of meat.
From the appearance of the queer pair they
were certainly half starved. The neigh
borS IN the house said that they lived on SIS
per week, which was sent them by daugh-
ter of the woman, who lives in Chicago.
The man existed in eking out their llYeli-
hood by doing odd jobs occasionally. The
pair never had much to do with any one else
In he house. They had en- occupying the
room for several months. The great objec-
to them was their habit of shouting in some
sort of gibberish at all hours OF the day and
night.
The officers placed the two under arrest,
and called Patrol l to take them to the Cen
tral Station. They are charged with lunacy.
Both have been in Longyiew Asylum. The
man MaS released about year ago, and at
that time his mother, who used 10 come to
see him, was of SOUND mind.

MAKING GOLD,

A London paper tells how man devoted
the greater part of his life in experiments
in making gold by mixture Of baser met
ais, and represents him as having sue
ceeded so well that piece of manufactured
gold stood all the tests applied to determine
real gold from the spurious article. The
inventor of the process is represented az
starving in garnet with specimen of his
life work before him. OF course no one is
going to assert that gold may not be pro-
duced by mixture of the base metals in
certain as yet unknown proportions But
whenever the secret Of the process of such
manufacture is discovered gold will be worth
about what it will cost. The proprietor of
the patent may profit handsomely by the
manufacture for a brief period, until the
fact is known that gold can be manufact-
ured, but it would be absurd to assume that
large amounts of manufactured gold could
be placed on the market without affecting
its price. Pure gold is maintained at about
$50 an ounce because with the present de-
mand for it and the present means of pro-
ducing it the cost of it in labor and material
amounts to about that sum. If it should
be produced at one-fourth of its present
cost in practically unlimited quantities it
would soon sell for SIS in place of $40 an
OuDca.

ling career of Mrs. Thomas j. Welch of
Lynn tor the past three weeks. says the
Boston Sunday Herald.
Mrs. Annie Welch, born Day, the charm
ing and accomplished daughter of the late
Michael Day, Boston wholesale liquor
dealer, who was married last June and was
recently deserted By her husband and has
been confined in the Lynn Hospital since
her dramatic attempt to commit suicid. in
the office of City Marshal Frank f. Wells
by taking Rough on Rats, eluded the hos pital
authorities early last evening and escaped
in dlshabille to the home of her aunt, Mrs.
Lahey, 400 Western avenue, fully quarter
mile from the hospital.
The discharge of the fair patient from he
hospital had been delayed that City Physi-
clan Donovan might decide as to her sanity.
Late Saturday afternoon Deputy Marshal
George c. Neal visited her at the hospital,
aud she told him that she would not remain
there.
Il am not crazy" she remarked, land
wont be sent to the DaDvers Insane Asy-
lum. l am entirely guiltless of the vile act
alleged by my husband, and have done
nothing to merit punishment"
Deputy Neal feared that Mrs. Welch
might attempt TO escape, fear shared by
the hospital attendants, and on his return
TO the police station ordered a special officer
to watch the desperate woman.
Before the officer reached the hospital
word was received by the police that the
unhappy wife had euded the vigilance of
the attendants and disappeared. While the
nurse was in another ward Annie hurriedly
seized quilt from her bed, and, opening q
window at the rear of her room, which was
small apartment adjoining the operating
room. left the premises.
Scaling fence at the rear of the hospital
buildings, she passed through yards aud
over fences until she reached Washington
street. She ran desperately along that
thOroughfare to Western avenue, and thence
to her aunt's home, where she startled the
Inmates about O'Clock by knocking at the
door and falling in swoon across the
threshold.
Her body was cold and every limb had
stiifened from exposure to the cold night
air.
Her bare feet were bleeding from contact
with the frozen ground, and such was her
condition that her relatives thought her
dead.
Stmulants were administered and she re-
gained consciousness half hour later.
The authorities are firmly convinced that
her matrimonial troubles have unsettled her
mind, and have decided to secure her COM
mitment TO Danvers.

Italy, England and Belgium. A treaty of
commerce may mean one thing or another.
A treaty of commerce between Brazil and
Germany would not make much of mar
keti in Germany for Brazilian sugar. Brazil
would probably make concessions in pro-
portion to benefits received. A treaty Of
commerce between Brazil and Germany
does not imply that German goods would be
admitted into Brazil on the same terms as
American goods. The United States gives
Brazil free market for sugar, coffee and
hides. The exports of Brazil to the United
Statas are out of all proportion to the i'm
ports from the United States. The reci-
procity clause in the Mckinley act Is an
effort to equalize this trade. There is no

DR.. Adolph MERCER of Besancon, France,
claims to be able to cure diphtheria in forty
eight hours. His remedial aid is hydrate of

proportions of one to twenty.
He first begins with the use of ipecac, to
produce emeSis, carefully avoiding exhaus-
ton. After the vomiting has ceased he ad-
ministers one half to one and a quarter
drachms of the hydrate of chloral, accord
ing to the age of the patient every half
hour.
To produce a more thorough impregna-
ton of the affected part the patient is
directed to take his drink previous to the
infection Of the choral This remedy pro-
duces state of somnolence which greatly
facilitates its administration. To check the

ointment are applied to the interior portion
OF the nerk and the submaXilary region.
The entire neck is swathed in cotton. The
patient is allowed to eat and drink almost
any nourishlng food, provided he takes the
syrup. Syrup OF quinquinia is added to the
choral syrup.
In the course of twenty-four hours no
change is noticeable, but in the course of
torty-eight ali false membranes have dis

becomes painful when the deposit is de-
