Died from Pressure of Money.

Of misers who rolled in their gold l
have often heard, but it is surely new
experience for one to die from the pres
sure Of his accumulated specie. A poor
looking, third class passenger in the
train from Paris to Turin was week
ago taken seriously i'll as the latter
place was neared. He was still alive
when Turin station was reached, and
was carried off at once to a sofa in the
waiting room, where he soon died.
On examination it was found he was
wearing belt containing no less thar
10000 francs in gold, and death had evi
IDENTIFY been caused by the pressure oi
this belt with its precious contents. The
dead man had also rouleaux of goli
under his armpits, though he was
dressed in rags, and SO far no clue to hi'
identity has been discovered.-Londo1

La Criminal

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for it's
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency Of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

Euphuisn.

There is some little difficulty in defin-
ing what euphuism really is, owing to
the indiscriminate use of the word as a
kind of synonym for the artificial wit
and general affectation of Elizabethan
times. The distinctive characteristics
of Lyly's euphuism are now considered
to be transverse ALTERATION, elaborate
antithesis and redundancy of SMILES
from simple phenomena or fabulous nat

AN EXPERTS OPINION,

Mr.. George +. Waring. Jr.'s, Opinion as to the
Sanitary Condition OF the Capitol.
The sanitary condition of the Capitol is, ac-
cording to District Inspector Robinson, most
deplorable. and according to Civil Engineer
George E. Waring, jr., of Newport r. l., it is
simply first-class- Mr.. Waring was called into
consultation by the Senate committee on rules,
and he says:
"The workmanship and arrangement of the
plumbing, &c., SO far as was able to examine
them, are such as was universal in the best work
of the period of the original construction; sub
sequent changes seem to have been executed in
the best manner of the period when they were
made. The same is to be said Of the ventilating
appliances used to improve the atmospheric
conditions affected by the waste pipes and
drains.
Since this work was done. and, indeed,
since most of the changes i'm it were made
great advances have characterized the whole
art OF house drainage. III the Senate wing, as it
stands, were to be drained anew no important
feature of the existing work would be repeated
There would indeed. seem to a casual observer
to be some justification for a sensational con-
domination of the whole existing system A
close examination, however, Of the workman
ship OF the drainage system aud Of the special
ventilating devices that have been applied to it.
aud especially knowledge of the care and skill
with which the operation of all its parts regu-
lated, shows that such sensational condemua-
ton would be out Of place. see no reason. so
long as the maintenance of the system is what
ii now is, for experimenting injurious effects
from the necessary continued use of these
drainage and ventilation appliances as they
now exist.
1T is quite clear that nothing should be done
In the way OF a reformation or change Of sys-
TEN SO long as the session of the Senate con-
tinues. Important changes could not be made
without for the timo admitting the air OF
drains and soil pipes into the building from
which believe it now to be absolutely ex-
Guided. You will understand, OF course,
that this report is based ON the best ex-
animation that could be made under the
circumstances. 1t is possible but not likely,
that such further investigation as could be
made while the building is occupied might de-
yelCp defects which have overlooked. This.
however, is doubtful Such an examination,
however, Is to be recommended. 1t should in
clude an exact location and a detailed superb
eial examination of all drains, soil pipes, traps
fixtures and ventilation pipes.
This examination. while il would in all prob
ability result in a confirmation of the opinion
expressed above, would also be valuable as a
necessary preliminary to the making OF plans
for such reconstruction of the system, in whole
or in part, as would bring it into full accord
with the very best practice of the day.
The drainage of the Capitol should not only
be such as to aliay all apprehension as to its
sanitary condition. but should be provided with
the safeguards which experience has shown to
be desirable in the best drained houses Of the
land"

Preteases.

Real Estate Dealer Charged with False
Pretepses.
In the Police Court today Judge Miller dis
posed of the case Of Mr.. Charles NJ. MCGOWAN,
the real estate dealer charged by Mr.. Samuel
S. Kelsey with false pretenses. Mr.. Kelsey re-
sides at No. l52s street and Mr.. McGoxan u
in business in the Corcoran building.
The warrant. which is a voluminous docu-
ment. charged that MCGOWAN falsely pretended
TO the prosecuting witness that he knew well
the owner Of tract of land on the Ballston
road in Alexandria county. Va, containing
forty-three acres, and that said owner was will
ing in consideration Of 500 TO sign q paper
writing produced and exhibited by the said
McGowan TO the said Kelsey relating 20 the
land mentioned.
The paper writing was set out in the warrant.
and it was charged that by means Of the allege<
false pretenses the said McGowan obtained an
order Tor ESQ.
Ii was in evidence that the paper subse-
quently contained the name of T. J. Muihail,
such person. The money was subsequently re-
turned to Mr. Kelsey, and the prosecution fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Randall Hagner, for the defense, offered
evidence to show that man named Mulhall
signed the paper aud that he (MulhalD had
gone west.
Mr.. Hagner argued the case both a. 10 the
law and the facts and Mr.. Mullowney, for the
government, responded.
Judge Miller decided to hold Mr. MCGOWAN
for the grand jury, and while discussing the
question of bail Mr.. Mullowney said that there
were four other charges to be made against the
defendant.
Judge Miller fixed the bail at $1,000 which
was given, and the matter will be inquired into
by the grand jury.
