THE OBSTINATE CAMEL.
An Americans First Experience with tn
LAUNDERING Animal.

An Americans First Experience with the
LAUNDERING Animal.
If any other animal gives out it is still
possible to make it travel a few miles
by a judicious use of patience and a
club; but not SO with a camel. When
he lies down he will get up only when
he feels like doing SO; you may drag at
the string which is fastened to the stick
through his nostrils till you tear it out,
he will only groan and spit. 1t was my
first experience with camels, and l
vowed that it would be my last; for,
taking them altogether, they are the
most tiresome and troublesome animals
have ever seen, and are suited only to
Asiatics, the most patient and long suf
fering of human beings
Besides their infirmities of temper,
resulting, I believe, from hereditary
dyspepsia, as evidenced by such coated
tongues, offensive breaths, and gurgling
stomachs as have seen with no other
ruminants. they are delicate in the ex-
IRENE. They can work only in the win
ter months, for as soon as their wool
begins to fall, Sampson like, their
Strength abandons them.
They can travel only over country
where there are no stones, for the pads
of their feet wear out and then they
have to be patched, most troublesome
operation. The camel is thrown and
piece of leather stitched on over the
foot, the stitches being taken through
the soft part of it; in this condition it
may travel till the skin has thickened
again or, what is more likely, until it
refuses to take step.-W. Woodville
Rockhill, in Century.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
The Case Against William Rhett, Charged
with Abduction. Growing More Serious
with Later Developments.

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-The ease against
VIM Rhett the ticket agent of the Sa-
vannah Steamship Company, who was
arrested Tuesday evening charged with
the abduction Of twelve-year-old Mary
Williams from Jersey City. assumed a
more serious phase to-day Katie
Flynn, companion of Mary. about
twelve years old. who. Mary says. in
duccd her to go with Rhett. was brought
into court yesterday. She said that
about six weeks ago Rhett met her and
little girl about the same age at the fer
ry house in Jersey City where they sold
papers. Patting them on the head. he
promised them nice things if they would
come with him to New York.
They crossed the ferry to this city
where, she said. the nice man" hired
a cab and she and the other little girl
rode about for an hour. He did not
modest her but took improper liberties
with the other girl.
If Katie Flynn story is true. Rhett,
who it was at first thought. could not
be held. will have to answer graver
charge than abduction. 1t has not been

the bill tolerable to iberty-loving minds.
The fraud. and force election bill,
whether modified by the silver Sena-
tors, with the bayonets hooded by Hoar,
or with them unvailed by Quay, is rad
ically and essentially vicious and trea-
sonous. Under any circumstances it
would be the duty of mem bers of Con-
gress to fight such proposition to the
bitter end.
The general duty of faithful Senators
is emphasized and enforced by the
special circumstances of the time. The
people of the United States have passed
upon the issue of the fraud and force
election bill, and by an unprecedented
majority they have ordered Congress
not TO enact any such measure. Every
vote for the bill, and every failure to
oppose it by any available means. is a
disobedience of the supreme order Of
the sovereign American people. 1t is
especially the duty of Democratic Sem
atOrS to leave nothing undone that hon
est men can do: to omit no honorable
device to prevent calamitous reversal of
the peoples vote.
We're opposition hopeless, relaxation
on the part of the opponent might be
excused. But opposition is not hope
less. The life of the present Congress
ends with the third day of March. I'm
less the revolution in the suffrage be
accomplished before that time, it can
never be effected, and the safety of
home-rule elections will be forevermore
assured. 1t is therefore Incumbent on
the Democratic Senators to ObStruct the
progress of the fraud and force election
bill by every means permitted by par
liamentary law. The rules of the Sen
ate have not been altered. Gag law
does not prevail. and the privileges of
a free deliberative body must be exert
ed to the utmost to prevent revolution

\ New York Salesman Disappears with
100000 Worth of Jewels.
New YORK. Jan. 23.-Wiiliam c. Dun
can, a city salesman for the diamond
house of Lewezohn X Co, No. II Maiden
Lane. has disappeared with $4,000
worth of loose diamonds and pearls.
The bulk of the property is in diamonds.
Duncan was in the habit of going
about the city selling goods. Last
Thursday he started out for up town
with about so. 900 worth of goods. On
his return he said he had left part of
the goods for approval with different
firms, accounting for each stone care
fully.
Friday and Saturday passed without
concluding the trade, so Duncan said,
and on Saturday he left the Office again
at II a. M. to cOnSummate the sales.
He was to come back at , p. m. All
the afternoon he did not appear, and at
five o'clock Mr.. Myer, another sales
man, was told to go up town and see If
any accident had befallen Duncan. At
six o'clock Mr.. Myer returned and said
that Duncan had not been near any of
the stores where he had professed to
leave the stones. Inspector BYrnes is
working on the case.

CURE FOR SNAKE BITES.
Strychnine an Antfdote for Their Deadly



Venom.
Baron Won Muller, an eminent scien-
tific authority of Melbourne, has dis
covered the real cause and effective cure
of snake poisoning. According to Herr
Won Mutter, the venom of serpents does
not destroy the tissues of the body, but
has merely a dynamic effect, suspend
ing the action of the motor and vase
motor nerve centers. This discovery at
once indicated that the proper kind of
antidote would be something which
would stimulate and increase the
functional activity of these nerve
centers" This remedy is supplied
by strychnine, which is directly
antagonistic in its action to snake poi
SON. Herr Won Muller has applied strych-
nine upon large number of persons
bitten by the tiger-snake and other
venomous serpents, and with invari-
able success. The way in which he en-
ploys it is toinject ten to twenty minims
of the drug under the skin of the pa
tent, and to repeat the operation every
fifteen minutes until slight muscular
spasms are produced, these being an
unfailing sign that the patient is out of
danger Large doses of strychnine may
be injected into the blood of a person
who has been bitten without producing
any injury until it has completely neu-
tralized the effect of the snake poison

DETESTABLE PROVISIONS.
The Tendency of Republican Methods t.
Overthrow "A Free Vote.

Overthrow Free Vote.
In the contest over the fraud and
.orce election bill there is evidence of a
tendency on the part of the more con-
sentative Republicans to press amend
mentS to the measure calculated to
modify its odious Imperialism.
The suggestions have value as calling
the attention of the country to pro-
visions SO deteStable that even the
strongest Republicans hesitate TO ac-
cept them. But they have another and
a less agreeable significance. They
evince the effect of the pressure of the
fioater fund machine for aid to the
project that has become the favorite of
the Administration, because in no other
way is there reasonable prospect of
overcoming the popular majority
against the Republican party. \ free
vote and a fair count would mean the
election of Democratic President and
another Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives in 1892. Trained to reliance
on the methods of intimida zion and
chicanery. the imperialistic chiefs fail
to see that their treasona BILE efforts can
have no other result than to render the
popular uprising against them irresist-
IDLE and well-nigh universal.
The most oteworthy of the modifica
tons proposed are those of Senator
Teller and Senator Stewart. The for

powers only, as distinguished from

amendment, if adopted, might have
some tendency toward curling the ex-

Prevention

Is better than cure, and people who are subject
to rheumatism, can prevent attacks by keeping the
blood pure and free from the acid which causes
the disease. This suggests the use of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, unquestionably the best blood puri-
fer. and which has been used with great success
for this very purpose by many people.
Hoods SaTsaparilla has also cured innumeraole
cases of rheumatism of the severest sort, by its
powerful effect in neutralizing aciGity of the
blood. and in enabling the kidneys and liver to
properly remove the waste of the system. Try it.
n. B. If you decide to take Hoods Sarseoarilla
do not be induced to buy any substitute.

BEL AIR, Md, May 24.-The directors
of the Maryland Central railroad have
been indicted by the grand jury for
manslaughter. The indictment was
found in connection with the accident
of April 16 last, when several lives
were lost in consequence of the wreck
ing of freight train. The wreck, it
was found, was caused by a broken
trestle. The accident occurred within
the limits of Hartford county, and the
grand jury of that county found the in
dictments. Evidence was adduced
before it that the company had
been repeatedly warned of the
dangerous conditions of the trestles in
that portion of the state, and an ex-
pert who had been employed to exam
inc the trestles swore that there was
not safe one on the line of the road
within the county. He testified that he
saw the bridge over Deer creek sway
when train passed over it. He fur
ther testified that in every trestle he
found rotten timbers, and that the pres
ence of these must have been known to
the repairmen of the road.

In treating one who has sudden chills
and is menaced with pneumonia, qui-

them, should be applied every twenty
minutes. Expectorants are also admin

is often prescribed, the effect being to
