THERE is mo- new theory in the xorld of

THERE is no new theory in the world of
science which does not at the outset divide
students into supporters and opponents
This is especially true of any discovery in
methods of medical treatment. This taking
of sides is an invitation to searching investi-
cation, and the sooner that takes place the
better for the people in general and for the
supporters of the innovation in particular
if their view is sustained by an examination
of the facts. The Keeley method of dealing
with drunkards is no exception to the rule,
and it should court the investigation which
alone can establish its claims.

IF there is truth in the statement that the
treasures of various religious societies in
this country contain $100, 600 900 of money
lying idle, there is sound sense in the sug-
gestion that it ought to be made use of. Use
less boards should be taxed whether they
belong to individuals OF corporations.

In making his new appointments Chief
Brown has been wise in the recognition of
merit by promoting existing officers, rather
than introducing outsiders. Efficiency can
be best maintained by the advancement of
men familiar with the work. And, while
such are to be found, it would be great
mistake to ignore their claims by the ap-
pointment of men who would have every
thing to learn.

Leads TO Strange Discovery.
YORK, o., Feb. l8.-Last evening Lewis
Davis and Joseph McCrasken discovered a
grave in the cemetery.that had apparently
been disturbed. Their curiosity was

The grave was opened and found to con-
tain the body of pretty, faxen-haired D

were inferred IA years ago, and the solidif-

WE make noise enough over the encroach-

put stop to the destruction of Alaskan sal

Incidentally it may be remarked that the

livelihood. though of course that has little
bearing on the case.

THE SUN SPOT BROKEN.
1t Is Divided Into \ Score of Fragments,
and Others Have Appeared

and Others Have Appeared.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. H.-Observations
made at the Naval Observatory to-day by
Prof Edgar Frisby showed that the large
spot hitherto observed upon the sun, which
covered space equal to one-sixteenth of
the suns surface, or an area OF 10000 miles
long by 100, COO wide, has by some great cata-
clysmic operation been broken into about 20
smaller spots.
In addition to this other spots have ap-
peared which are situated n vast distance
from the original spot, and are evidently
totally independent from it. This new de-
yeIopment in the suns surface has attracted
the attention of the astronomers at tho
them.

WHILE the matters directly responsible
for the resignation of French Governments
from time to time are usually of little in
trinsic Importance, and therefore hard to
foretell. the period of unrest which change
OF Cabinet involves is always a serious
menace to the delicate balance of European
affairs. The present crisis is but another
indication of the French love of variety but
it is to be deprecated for the unknown
quantity which it introduces to the arena of
European politics.

BUFFALO, Feb 1s.-Between Is and 20
wolves have made their appearance in West
Seneca, a suburb of Buffalo and women and
children are afraid go ont of doors. They
appear in the village at night and escape to
the woods about a mile away. Several old
hunters are following the trail well armed.
The story seems incredible, yet it would
be very easy for the hungry horde to have
crossed the ice from the wilds of Canada, as
the lake is frozen over, and it is only ten
miles across the point. Children are kept
from school and the men have their guns
loaded. To-day large party of men expect
to start on a hunt for the beasts.

THE GRAND OLD MAN
No Chance Now Of Gladstone

ONLY A QUESTION OF MAJORITY
Tie Government VIII Remain in Office
Until Defeated by Party Division
The Latest Rsturns.

8 LONDON, July u. Since Salisbury's re-
turn from Windsor the Carlton club has
appeared to receive information that the
government viii remain in Office till it is
defeated by party division. Salisbury
thereupon will recommend to the queen
that she send for Gladstone.
The Radicals favor postpouing the home
rule bill fer year and TO open the session
of parliament with the labor and rural re
form programme
Representations to that effect viii be
made to Gladstone, but 1t is doubtful il
they will succeed as he has never faltered
in his intention to expedite home rule and
then retire from public life.
The Radicals will nominate Mr.. Lsbou-
chere for the home Office on the local gov
eminent board. Rigby. the member from
Farnshire, will certainly be solicitor-gene-
raj.

smoothing matters over, although the Par
nellites declare they don't expect amicable
results from the negotiations.
The defeat Of DR.. Tanner greatly elased

nellite) says petitions will be lodged
against the election of William O'Brien

titions throughout Ireland are threatened
on tho same ground.
The Liberals will be agreeably surprised
tomorrow if Gladstone's majority in Mid
lothian is not reduced by nearly LOCO
votes. There is no chance OF Gladstone
being defeated, but the Liberals feel a
dread that the poll will disclose a greatly
reduced vote.
