The ChIltern Hundreds.

The necessity for the appointment of
a steward of the Chiltern hundreds dis
appeared long ago, but the three hun
dreds of Stoke, Buckham and Des-
borough, Buckinghamshire, are still
distinguished by the old name, and a
steward is still nominated by the chan
cellor of the exchequer, with salary
of twenty shillings and the fees of the
Office. In olden times it was the duty
of this steward to protect the people of
Bucks from the robbers of the Chiltern
hills. The sole Importance of the sine
cure at the present day consists in the
fact that its acceptance enables a mem
Der of the house of commons TO resign
his seat on the plea that he holds a
place of honor and profit under the
crown. This appropriation of the post
only dates from the eighteenth century,
and its intrinsic legality has been called
in question, but the custom is now
completely legitimated by long line
of precedents. Brooklyn Eagle.

preston he gave this explanation
I'm antebellum days Saturday night
was devoted TO taking baths by the
citizens of many places. In such towns
the theaters were slimly attended on
the last night of the week, and the
reason was that the people were in their
bath tubs cleaning up for Sunday. The
term sticks to many cities. do not
mean that the theater goers of any of
them actually do stay at home ON Sat

do not go out to see a performance of

La GrippP.

The tendency of this disease to-
ward pneumonia is what makes it
dangerous, La Grippe requires pre-
cisely the same treatment as severe
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is famous for its cures Of severe colds.
This remedy efiectually counter
acts the tendency of the disease t.
result in pneumonia, provided that
proper care be taken to avoid ex
posure when recovering from the at
tack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used thil
remedy during the epidenics of the
past two years has failed to discove

attacked, consisted of what are
called "first conduct men," They
receive many privileges, Of which
they are deprived on the least mis-
behavior. Before they went ashore
they were especially warned that IL
theg got into any quarrels no more
sailors would be allowed their lib
erty. They therefore were respon-
sible to their comrades for their
conduct, and ell the testimony
seems TO show that they remained
entirely sober.
The first witness, G. w. Talbot,
was u young, manly looking fellow,
and told a Straightforward story.
Tue most important fact elected
from him was that the sailors were
wsrned an hour before the assault
that IL was being planned. The
second-significant fact is that when
arrested by the police they con-
sidcred 1t necessary to disguise him
to prevent bis being recognized as a
Baltimore man and murdered by
the mob.
The second witness, J. NJ. John
son, armorer of the Baltimore, wit
messed the stabbing of Riggin from
window Of the hotel and Is posi-
tive that the police who were pres
ent made no attempt to protect him.
He tried to secure Riggan, but a
squad Of soldiers came up and delib.
erately shot and killed Riggin
while In Johnson's arms, the soldiers
being not six feet away.
The statement made by Procurator
Fescal, Of Valparaiso, to the effect
that ali but two sailors testified that
the police had done their duty, is
denied vehemently by the witnesses.
They are unanimous in opposite
opinion.
