NOTES FOR THE SuPCRsTlTIOUS

IN many places it is believed that the
person who hears the whippoorwill in
the daytime will die before the end Of
the year. ..
MANY persons will not allow the
rocking of an empty chair, because
they say it is forerunner of death in
the family.
AN old way of interrogating fate in
love affairs is to slice an apple in two
with sharp knife. If this can be done
without cutting seed the wish of the
heart will be fulfilled
AMONG the uneducated whites in Ala
bama there is popular superstition
that if a colored person kisses baby
twice on the mouth the teething period
will be easy to the child.
IN Michigan a double cedar knot is
carried in the pocket to cure rheuma-
tism, and in New Hampshire men carry
gall from the stems of the golden rod
for the same disease.
THE Scandinavian races think that
spirits can be driven away and witches
kept at bay by a knife stuck in the
house or nails driven up. These races
have held from time immemorial the
ider that it was lucky to fir. piece of

THE LAXATIVE GUMDROP.

When you are tormented by
Indigestion the best thing that
can b. done is to take q mild
ca thartic. If you take an ordi-
nary dose of pills it may re-
)ieve your trouble for a time
but the reaction or the second
effect of strong cathartics Is al
ways reactionary so that at
last YOU are worse off than you
were before. If however, you
will get a box of Laxative gum
drops. and you can obtain a
box Of the small size for ten
cents, you will be enabled to
overcome all of these difficulties
and you will find that your di-
eestive organs are restored to
their NJ tural condition These
gum drops have no taste of
medicine. They are in appear
ance and flavor exactly like the
gum drops of the confectioner
with this difference that the
medicated ones contain a
slight catbartic that they will
relieve all Indigestion, acting
in this respect like an after din
ner pill with no sense of nausea
or gripping. Ask your druggist
for them and do not take any
thing else.

A COMPLICATED BALLOT.
LOWS Baker Wants to Mako 1t Simpler.
An ordor by tho Court.


ST. PAUL, Oct. 16.-Late yesterday
afternoon Lewis Baker, chairman of
the Democratic state committee, ap-
piled to Judge Brill, of the district
court, for an order to compel Secretary
of State Brown to print the names Of
the four Peoples party electors en-
dorsed by the Democrats once with
tho five straight Democratic electors
and once with the Peoples party cleo
tors. Judge Brill granted the order
and hearing was set for 10 a. nj. Monday.
A mandamus was ut once issued call
ing on the secretary OF state to appear
at the time stated and show cause. A
deputy failed to find Secretary Brown
at his Office yesterday, that official be-
ing in Minneapolis during the after
noon, but Mr.. Brown, who is at his
home in this city to-day, will appear
with his attorneys tomorrow morning.
The Democratic committee insist that
what they desire will give an intelli-
gently arranged ballot in place Of n
much mixed one, as the Peoples party
electors endorsed by them arc scattered
through tho list and cannot be readily
found BY tho average voter. On the
part OF tho secretary OF state 1t Is
claimed that it is not in power OF the
courts to mandamus an executive otli-
Ger and cite supreme court decisions in
support OF that view. Both sides will
be on hand tomorrow morning to argue
the case.

New YoRK. Oct. l6-Hon. Robert I.
Lincoln, United States minister to the
court OF St. James, who was a passenger
on the Etruria which reached her dock
this morning from Liverpool, is guest
at the Holland House. During the
afternoon he was visited by q number
Of prominent Republicans, among whom
were Senator Hale, Hon. Patrick Egan,
the minister to Chilli; Cornelius n.
Bliss and Chairman Carter OF the Re-
publican national committee. Mr..
Lincoln was rather disinclined to talk
for publication but at length said: sit
is impossible for me to answer any
questions or express any opinion
regarding English political mat
tiers. My official position de-
privos me OF any freedom
which other persons may have to
do SO. There is nothing connected with
my official position that | feel that
can properly speak about except the
forthcoming international monetary
conference in arranging for which had
some share. The question whether
England should favor an increased use
of silver in the currency of the world is
not party question in England. ! feel
that have said without improprlety
that there is reasonable prospect OF q
sufficient departure by England from
its hitherto strict monometallic basis
to give great hope OF some practical
steps being taken by the Congress for
the increased uso oil silver and for the
adoption by sufficient number impor-
tant powers"
When asked to give his views on the
presidential campaign Mr. Lincoln
begged to be excused from saying any
thing, as he had been only few hours
here and had little opportunity for
talking over the political situation.
"But everything | have heard" he
added, "has increased the feeling OF en-
couragement in Republican success
which had when starting on my voy-
age"
In reference 10 the Tennyson funeral
Mr.. Lincoln said: II knew nothing
about the arrangements for the funeral
until l was about 10 take the train III
London to catch tho Etruria, when /
received a telegram from Hallam Tommy
son requesting me in my official capnc-
ity to act as q pail bearer. greatly re.
gretted that conld not represent my
countrymen on that occasion, but since
landing | have learned that my place
was taken by Mr.. White, the secretary
OF our legation in London"

WAsuiNGyoN, D. G., Oct. l6.-The soft
balmy Indian summer weather which
Washington is enjoying is proving
harmful to the Presidents invalid wife,
Tor it has depressing and enervating
effect on her and increases the nervous
ness, from which she suffers greatly.
Consequently she is even less well and
strong to-day than she has been tor the
pust two or three days.
A symptom in the case recently mas
been exceeding drowsness, tho patient
sleeping for an hour or longer at time
aud then waking up only TO fall asleep
again in few minutes. This drowsi-
ness has passed away to an extent but
it has shown its efects in increasing
exhaustion.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
evening she is slightly weaker than tor
several days, Mrs. Harrison passed on
the whole very comfortable day and
there is, it is said, no occasion tor I'M
mediate alarm.
DR.. Gardner made his last visit for
the day at about o'clock this evening,
which is little earlier than usual, and
he said afterwards that at the time OF
his visit Mrs. Harrison was resting
quietly and was asleep. There were no
present in diCations OF fresh complica-
tions in the case.
The President remained in the White
House with his vile nearly the entire
day, the only time he left her being
late in the afternoon when, in company
with members of his household, he
spent an hour or so strolling about the
grounds south OF the executive mansion.

CaprIvts Tactics.
BERLIN, Oct. l6.-The situation has
not greatly changed within the last few
days. The storm lie brewing but it has
not burst. Caprivi sits apart in his
tent, the Kanzlerr in Wilhelmstrasso,
issuing orders to his henchmen, prim-
ing his newspapers and instructing his
reptiles" Alliances are made and
sealed on paper only to be unmade and
disowned the following morning. The
ministerialists cry peace" and there
is no peace. Their enemies reply with
threats and warnings. On one side we
are told that the adoption OF the army
bill is as good as assured. On the other
it is said that the bill will never sec the
light.
Rumors of all sorts are in the air,
Caprivi to resign, Caprivi to stay; tho
Reichstag to be dissolved, the Reicl-
stag not to be dissolved.
At one moment the emperor has
pledged himself to back tho chancellor;
the next we learn that he is to leave
him to his fate; that he will let him 20
rs lar as he can with the bill, and il he
finds the Reighstag bent on opposition
he will drop him. The upshot OF it all
will soon be seen. Caprivi has thrown
down the glove and the Reichstag seems
inclined to do its duty. In tho excite.
ment OF politics smaller things have
been neglected.
