Death superstitions.

Death superstitions are rife in the
West Indies. To the people there every
thing out Of the ordinary Is a "sign" :"
In Cuba person with sore or wound
Of any kind will not look upon dead
person, fearing that the spot will be
come incurable. The rum used in wash
ing dead body is, however, regarded
as sure cure for all eye troubles. If
the light from candle or lamp falls on
the face Of the dead, death will shortly
come to him or her who was carrying
the light.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ANNAPOLIS MD. THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 2, 1892.


The birds come back TO their last years nest
And the wild rose mods in the Lane;
And gold in the east, and red in the west.
The sun bestirs him again.
The thief bee rifles the jasmine flower,
And the breczes softly sigh
For the Columbine in my lady's bower.
And then at her feet they die.
And all the pomp OF the June Is here
The mirth and passion and song;
And young is the summer. and life is dear.
And the day Is never too long.
Ahi birds come back TO their last years nest,
And the wild rose laughs in the lane;
But turn to the east and turn to the west
She never viii come again.

a New Scheme Whereby Travellers
Can be Protected From LOSS.
ST.. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. IA new sys-
tenn OF insurance is about to be placed in
effect upon important railway lines. 1t is a
baggage indemnity scheme, the modus
operandi of which is almost identical with
that Of accident insurance on the coupon
plan. The passenger who checks his trunk
TO any point, and desires to be insured
against loss, will be provided by the bag
gagemaster with a ticket form,
with attached coupons to the num-
her Of ten, each good for one day. The
form is then filed In with the insured's
name and address, the insured's starting
point and destination OF trunk, the name
OF each line over which it is to travel. and
the number Of the baggage check Should
the trunk be lost the indemnity company
pays 300. allowing the patron the privilege.
should the property be recovered, OF redeem
ing the same within a certain time limit,
The premium is 10 cents day and the
tickets are made to cover ten days.

ST. vINCaNr,s BONES.
Row Father Duffner Secured Them In
Switzerland.

PITTsBURG. Jan. 1.-THE box containing
the bones Of ST. Vincent, which Is I'm the
possession Of Father Duffner OF st. Peters
church, Southside, will not be opened until
some time after Easter. The bones are now
sealed In a common wooden box, where they
have been for 200 years. 1t is intended to
have them cleaned and placed in u better
box, and then, perhaps, they will be put in
the altar Of the church where the people
can see them. The old box had not been
opened for many years until Bishop Phelan
broke the seals recently. No one but a
bishop can open. such a box, according to
the rules OF the Catholic church.
Father Dutfner gives the following ac-
count OF how he got the relics: when I
was In Germany last fall heard of the
bones and secured permission from the
bishop OF tho diocete TO see them, on the
condition that they would be Transferred to
better box and preserved. They we're
then with a small congregation IN Mettau,
switzerland. Their numbers were small
and getting smaller, and 1t was feared they
could not take care OF so precious a charge.
They were too poor TO have them
put In new box, 30 1 got them. The
bones had originally been In a monastery.
Then they we're taken TO Mettau, and re-
mained there 200 years. | went TO Switzer-
land, got the box and brought it here. After
awhile, probably after Easter, the bones
will be decorated slightly and put in their
new box. Then 1t will be taken to the altar
and the people can see them; but no fuss
will be made or allowed. l will not even
publish the fact to my congregation

6teubenville to the Front With a Mos
Remarkable Surgical Case.
STEUBENvILLE, o., Jan. l7.-Mrs. John
Palmer, near this city, was the subject Of a
surgical operation with very remarkable
results. Dr. Womb, being called to treat
an abdominal pain. found hard substance.
which he attributed to wearing supporters,
but this the woman denied. Another
surgeon was called in, who recolected that
some six years before he performed an
operation on tho same woman. She was
then troubled with abJcess in which, in
lancing, the lance struck a hard foreign
substance, which was removed and proved
to be half OF a common steel hairpin.
In yesterdays operation the other half Of
the hairpin was found and removed. Here
comes the very remarkable part Of the
story. About thirteen years ago she gave
birth to triplets. She became suddenly in
sane. One day, with suicidal intent, she
drove hairpin In her breast just over her
heart. Her attendants saw the act but
did not know it had been buried in the
flesh. All these dozen years the hairpin
worked itself downward, until 1t has been
removed. 1t never gave her trouble except
in case Of abscess.

A SCARE AT COAL CREEK.
Firing Off Pistols by Miners Led to
Fears of an Attack.

Firing Off Pistols by Miners Led to
Fears of an Attack.
MEMPHIS. TENN. Jan. ia special TO the
Appeal from Knoxville, says:
"At II o'clock tonight alarming reports
were received from Coal Creek. A man
just in from KeathIey, on q late
train, says that miners to the number
Of 1000 are assembling on the mountain
overlooking the soldiers camp with view
OF making an attack. At IL 80 o'clock the
telegraph operator in the camp telegraphed
that many miners we're massing on the
mountain and that there had been some
firing by the picl1ets The miners were do
ing good deal of shooting, but up to that
time no one had been hurt. The camp was
in much confusion, expecting an attack
but the men were in good trim to hold the
fort at all cost.
NOTHING FURTHER HEARD.
1.-THE operator then said he would invests
gate and report, but at 80 O'clock MOTH
ing further had been heard from
him. To-day was pay day at Coal
Creek and some persons have been
miners from Blocton went to Coal Creek
last night, and this morning one of them
who was drinking, said they were going out
there TO "clean upn the militia At this
hour Q1:55) the wires seem to be up
and working. Something definite
is expected every moment. The fact that
the wires have not been cut is construed as
meaning no trouble and the firing by the
miners is thought to be a demonstration to
harass the troops. Should the wires be cut
it may be taken for granted that there is
trouble"
NO ATTACK CONTEMPLATED.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 17.-There was
no fighting at Coal Creek last night. 1t
was learned to-day that the alarm which
was created there last night grew out Of the
fact that some miners on the mountain near
the camp did considerable shooting in the
air and thus alarmed the operator in the
camp and he sent out the statement that
the camp was about to be attacked by the
miners

BOOMERS AGAIN ON DECK.
A Lively Fight for the Democratic
Convention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Arlington
was buzzing with convention CITY boomers
Tonight just as It was several weeks ago.
In the case Of st. Paul the boomers are very
much the same people who got the repub-
hcan convention for Minneapolis. Other
wise the boomers are new, but their methods
and their talk are just the same. They
are all claiming everything In spite Of the
fact that very few Of the members of the
national committee are here and that those
few are not committing themselves in ad-
vance Chairman Brice and Senator Cor
man. the two most prominent members of
the committee here now, are especially
diplomatic In all they say.
HILLS WISHES.
There is good reason, however, for the be.
lief that they want what Senator David B.
Hill wants, and that Hill wants the conven-
ton to go TO Chicago if it cannot go to New
York, as 1t now appears that it cannot.
Chicago is not only not making a formal bid
Tor the convention, but Chicago has men here
who are aiding all the different other west
ern cities. This latter fact, however. will
give Chicago strength in the end.
WHY CHICAGO IS PREFERRED,
Iue preference or the sena-
torial syndicate for Chicago is
based partly upon the fact that
1t has more comfortable quarters than anv
other western city and partly upon the sup
posed fact that il not practically neutral. il
is nota Cleveland town as milwaukee,. st.
Paul and Kansas City are supposed to be.
Detroit, Indianapolis and Cincinnati are
not prominent in the calculations because
1t seems to be thought that the democratic
convention must be in the northwest TO
neutralize the effect Of the republican con-
vention.
PENNSYLvANIA's REPRESENTATIVE.
As to the other important question 60
come before the national committee-the
right Of the national alcommitteeman who,the
Pennsylvania state committee will elect on
Wednesday, TO represent Pennsylvania-the
national committeeman here decline to state
in advance how they will act. Senators
Brice. German and Hill are In favor of
standing by Senator Brice's position, that
the vacancy was filled when State Chairman
Kerr was admitted by the executive COM
mittee, but it remains to be seen whether
they can carry a majorioy Of the committee
against admitting the choice of the Pennsyl-
vania state committee.

PAPERS FOUND IN a JUNK SHOP

Complete the Chain OF Evidence
Against a Bogus Insurance Order.
WHEELING, Jan. 1.-THE short-term in
surance order, which was brought to grief
in this city last July. the Fraternity of
Financial Cooperation. will figure In the
present term Of the United States court at
Parkersburg. This concern had agencies
in all parts of the union. and did an inn
mense business among the poorer classes,
owing to the alluring chances for sudden
wealth that were held out.
The postofflce authorities secured evil
dence of the fraudulent nature Of the enter
prise, learning which the officers of the
Fraternity suddenly shut up shop and fed.
They left behind mass Of discriminating
papers which they had sold with lot Of
old junk to a secondhand dealer. These
fell into the hands of the government au-
thorities, and will be used in the forthoom-
ing trial at Parkersburg.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Senators Rushing Public Building
Bills.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Although the
House has not been able to act upon any Of
the hundreds Of bills that have been intro
duced by its members. the Senate is now in
full tide OF legislation. A dozen bills have
already passed that body and been sent over
TO the House. Among them
are several bills making ap-
propriations for public buildings,
q class of measures which representatives
very much wish to father. The work is to be
kept up this week, and as there are already
thirty-seven OF these bills on the Senate cal
endar within easy reach, the members of the
House will probably suffer some loss of
prestige In the eyes of their constituents
through the activity of the Senate.
LITTLE MORE ON HAND.
There is little beyond these measures as
yet for the Senate to act upon. Tomorrow
the We'll and La Abra claims will be dis
cussed in connection with the pending bills
to the investigate allegstione of fraud in
their allowance
The bill reorganizing the system OF print
ing and issuing Of public documents may
also be provocative of debate; Senator Kyle
will talk about marriage and divorce,
and the executive sessions during the week
will probably develop some party feeling.
as 1t is expected that judicial nominations
and the Elmira postmastership will figure
in the proceedings.

STRANGE EFFECT OF THE GRIP.

a Five Points (o.) Mans Hair Suddenly
Turns White.
MOUNT STERLING, o., Jan. IA very
curious case is puzzling the people of Five
Points, small village five miles from this
place. For two weeks John Burton has
been suffering from the grip. A few days
ago, however, he felt so much better that
he considered himself well enough to go out
and feed bis stock. He had finished his
work In the barn and was returning to his
house, when he was seized with a severe
pain in the head. He staggered into the
house, and opiates were administered to
ease the pain. In about three hours the pa
TENTS hair was seen to turn white, and in a
short time was as white as snow from a
point about an inch above the ear down.
Mr.. Burton is rapidly recovering, and feels
no Ill effects from his strange experience.

In the House.

After the introduction of bills tomorrow.
the House of Representatives will take up
the measure reported by Mr.. Richardson Of
Tennessee, from the joint committee on
printing. entitled, "a bill providing for the
public printing and binding, and the dlstri-
button Of public documents" 1t is
expected that at least half of the
sessions Of the House during the week
will be consumed in consideration of this
measure. The bill makes general revision
OF the present system of the printing and
distributing of public documents, and as
there are hfty-nine pages Of 1t, and as it
contains many things of public interest to
the congressman themselves, It is improba-
BILE that 1t can be brought to a vote speedily.
THE RULES.
On Saturday Messrs. McMillin and
Catchings, democratic members of the
House rules committee, held their first con-
ference with the speaker on the subject OF a
permanent code Of rules for the House of
Representative during the Fifty-second
congress. They hope to be able TO report
the rules to the House early in the week in
order that they may be taken up be-
fore its close, but past experience of
the time necessary TO accomplish
congressional work of such a delicate
nature as the framing of a set of rules
would indicate that unexpected delays may
defer the report longer than is anticipated.
Besides, the illness OF the1 speaker initiates
against rapid work. The rules Of the
Fittieth congress have been referred to the
committee and will. with some modifica-
lions, constitute the rules of this congress.
The Senate resolution making on ap-
preparation to defray the cost Of the trans
portation of American food contributions
to the famine sufferers in Russia is still
pending in the House, and is in a position
to be called up on a motion to reconsider the
vote by which the House emasculated the
resolution by striking out the appropriation.
