cago, and a certain prominent senator
was candidate for the presidential
nomination of his party. Upon the
morning of the first day of the conven.
tion prominent newspaper man en-,
tered the senator's committee room in
the capitol and there saw the black
mailer lounging upon sofa. The sem
ator's private secretary informed the
newspaper man that the blackmailer
had prepared villainous attack upon
the senator for publication and wanted
money for its suppression. He said that
while the charges were untrue, it would
be exceedingly annoying to the senator,
and injurious to his prospects, for the
charges to appear at such time; for 1t
would place him in the position Of a
defendant and might injure him very
materially before the convention. At
the same time the senator could not
afford to pay the fellow, and thus
tacitly admit the truth of his allega-
tions. The newspaper man said: go
and tell the senator that have settled
with this scoundrel. Tell the senator
not tC speak to him, not to allow the
fellow to address him in the capitol" T"
The private secretary did as he was re-
quested to do, and then the newspaper
man invited the blaclsmailer out into
the corridor, where he said: "You un-
mitigated scoundrel, you will lose your
life or be seriously injured if you don't
leave this building. You have tackled
game which is too big for you. The
sergeant-at-arms and the captain of the
capitol police are watching you. Ifyou
address the senator you will be injured,

this, quick"
Like the contemplate coward that
he was, he skunk away, and never again
spoke to the senator. SAITH ID. FRY.

WAR ON TEA.
1T Killed Frog and IN Australian Woman
Starts q Crusade.

Starts q Crusade.
An Australian woman is conducting
crusade against tea, which she declares
is, next to alcohol, the greatest mas.
ter of human will and destroyer of vi
tality." She goes on the remark that tea
acts on the nervous system as does alco-
hol, but in an opposite way. Alcohol is
stimulant poison, tea is a sedative
one. The former is capable of destroy
ing life by producing excessive action,
the other by preventing it.
Theme, the most important element
of tea, will, if administered in sufficient
doses, kill an animal. Half grain
given to full-grown frog killed it.
The reptile first became paralyzed, and
after little went into convulsed
state and died. The death is exactly
similar to that caused by hydrocyanic
acid, hemlock and other sedative
poisons. All of which is worse icono-
clasm than when we found out that
there was not any apple nor any VIII

A HUGE SUM AT STAKE.
Akron and Cleveland Capitalists Sued for
Over @1,OOO,OOO.

Over S1,OOO,O0O.
CLEVELAND, Oct. ia suit involving
over S1,OO0,O worth of property was
commenced in the United States court
Monday. The plaintiff is James B.
Mullen, resident of Picton. Ont, and
the defendants are Samuel j. Ritchie
and Thomas w. Cornell, of Akron; the
Citizens Savings and Loan Association,
the Canadian Copper Company, the An
glo-American Iron Company, Stevenson
Burke and Henry B. Payne, of this city.
He sets forth in his petition that at the
January term of tho United States court
he recovered judgment for S265,00o
against Samuel j. Ritchie and the same
has remained unsatisfed The execu-
ton was issued on November a. 1890,
and the marshal returned it saying he
could find no property belonging to
Ritchie.
Mullen also states that Richie is in
solvent, and that he is indebted to him
for S12O, 900 principal, together with ac-
crued interest to an amount unknown,
and that to secure the payment of the
debt Richie pledged to him through f.
w. Cornell $62, 900 worth of the capital
stock of the Canadian Copper Company,
$50, 200, par value, worth of the capital
stock of the Anglo-American Iron Com
pany and $20,0 worth of the Central
Ontario railway bonds. These were
owned at the time by Ritchie. Mullen
also states that Ritchie owes Henry b.
Payne 1,500, which is secured by
100000 par value, of the capital stock
of the Canadian Copper Company, s41s,-
600, par value, of the Central Ontario
railway bonds, and $50, 900, par value, OF
the capital stock of the Central Ontario
railway.
Mullen claims that Payne's debt is
due and that the value OF the stock and
bonds pledged to him is largely in ex-
cess of what is owed him, and that if
the same was sold there would be
enough left over to pay large amount
of his judgment. He further charges
that Ritchie refuses to convert the same
into money or apply the same towards
settling with him

the blaclsmailer squared himself, took
long breath and proceeded to make
an able argument in behnlf of his cli-
ent who looked on with approval. The
blackmailer had uttered but few sem
tences when his scheme was cut short.
The appointment clerk had been
newspaper man, knew the individual,
saw through the game in moment,
and said: "You cannot make an argu-
ment before me. You are deadbeat,
and if this man has paid you any money
he has lost it, or thrown it away. You
can do him nc good. You may as well
go; and this new victim of yours may
as well go home and save his money"
81 am an American citizen, and attor-
ney in this case, and will not be in
suited" shouted the blackmailer.
"You are deadbeat, confidence
man and a scoundrel," responded the
appointment clerk, "and if you don't get
out of my room / will direct the captain
of the watch to arrest you for disturb
ing the peace"
He rang an electric bell as he spoke,
and the blackmailer disappeared. He
obtained twenty dollars from that
victim, but he was frustrated in his
plans for getting more. The victim re-
turned to his Iowa home, after having
sincerely thanked the appointment clerk
for his official courage and determine
tion of character.
Some years ago the same fellow un-
dertook to levy toll upon western con-
gresham who is now senator, but
found his match. The congressman
said: II presume that I must either
pay you or kill you, and guess I'd bet
ter kill you," showing his revolver as
he spoke. The blackmailer, of course,
Immediately decamped.
You will ask why this disreputable
criminal goes unwhipped of justice, and
wonder that such character can exist
and thrive in the national capital; but
the answer is very simple. He never talks
to his victims in the presence of others.
There is never witness present, and
if complaint is made the blaclxmailer
would take solemn oath that he never
did it. Now, if two or three congress-
men would combine and unite in a
charge against him, the courts would
very speedily put him behind the bars
for term of years or for life. But,
don't you know that people are usually
satisfied, in every case, when they are
relieved of trouble from such source?
I believe that not less than fifty mem
bers of the last congress could have tes-
titled to the blackmailing assaults of
this creature; but they did not do it.
His victims are usually men who have
weaknesses they do not want known.
Of which they are ashamed and pain.

A CASE OF LOVE.
DR.. Dinks' Diagnosis and Pre-
scribed Remedy a Sad Failure.

People said DR.. Dinks ought to mar
ry. He thought so himself, but hither-
to he had been too busy providing
means for keeping wife to bestow
much thought on whom she was to be.
He had decided that the lady must
have good looks, good means and be of
a good position; but, though several
ladies in Jemimaville fulfilled all these
requirements, his choice had not yet
fallen on any one of them. And, be-
sides, he was not in the least in love.
1t would be imprudent to venture the
assertion that DIR. Dinks had always
remained Indifferent to the pretty and
agreeable girls he had met in his wan
deripgs; and, being a fairly attractive
fellow, as well as Jemimaville's only
medical practitioner, it is safe to say
that eyes of every hue had looked upon
him with more or less favor. Oh, no!
He had had his intermittent love af-
fairs. There was Shady Scott, now.
He had loved her to distraction for two
months when she wore particularly
sweet thing in bonnets; when the bon
net went out Of fashion DIR. Dinks'
love went with it. Again, there was

had capitulated to the peculiarly fas-
cinating manner in which the fair
