EIecsrsc,tx from wind.

Owing to the comparative scarcity of
water power In many parts Of England
Tor the generation OF power for electrical
purposes, attention has been given to
wind power, OF which the country In well
supplied. A small experimental plant has
been TN uperHtfoh at a Hour mill near Lon
don, the windmill supplying sufficient
power to run a small dynamo. The cur
rent is used TO charge q storage battery,
from which a number OF arc and incan-
descent lamps were lighted nightly. Al
though the current obtained was small
the experiment was successful In demon
strating the value OF this form OF power
for generating electricity. Electricity.

The London Lancet a y that the sys-
tenn of cold baths In the treatment OF ty-
phoid fever as employed in Germany has
been put to the test by DR.. Josias, and he
reported to the Societs des Hopitaux that
during the years 1853 and 1889 he treated
t~hirty-six cases of typhoid fever by cold
baths; that Is to say, with water at eigh-
teen degrees c., repeating these every
three hours. OF thirty-six cases the ex-
perimenter obtained thirty-three recov-
cries. Drs. Renoy and Richard, who, on
their side, had followed this method, OBJ
tanned 103 recoveries out of 100 cases.
A French critic, writing OF the cold
water system of the treatment of typhoid
fever in Germany, gives the following
statistics, drawn up by DIR. Longuet,
relative to the German army, which may
be found interesting here: In 1865 out OF
$500 typhoid patients, there were from
500 to 700 deaths. From 1882 to 1884 the
number Of patients was nearly identical
but thanks to the application Of the cold
baths the deaths among the soldiers
amounted OF the n hand to 221 and to 1Sa
on the other. Since then the diminution
Of the mortality was slow, constant and
mathematical, according as the cold
water system extended. From twenty
four per cent. in 1865 the mortality fell tc
eleven per cent. in 1875. In 1883 II wal
not more than nine per cent.

pie OF Providence and the State. Demo

graduating and receiving congratulations
on all sides. The latest figures give ID.

considerably less than was at first sup

Rhode Island and the United States is

Melville Bull raj away ahead, also con-
trary TO the first understanding of the
vote. His majority is, allowing for some
small probable discrepancies, a little more

Utter, Secretary of State, 237. The official
count by the aldermen yesterday showed
that Wilson, Rep, got a majority in this
city for representative, and that Burton

The figures on the Assembly ticket
show hat the Republicans have 90 in the
Senate to 10 for the Democrats and 8
doubtful, while in the House there are 81
Republicans, 10 Democrats and 10 doubt
full up to date. This gives the Republi-
cans q clear majority. even allowing that

BERLIN, April s.-News has been re-
ceived from Ilowraztaw, an important
town in Prussian Poland, Of a cold-blood
ed assassination by Anarchists, and OF the
pursuit and humiliation of the murder

enemy OF anarchy, was the victim.
One night recently four masked men
entered his residence and went directly to
his room. Ponsky's wife was first
awakened by the intrusion and screamed.
The intruder told her IL she valued her

A Kentucky Word.

In a conversation with a gentleman
from the mountains OF Eastern Kentucky
the News caught on to a new word, one
not I'm Webster's latest edition. It Is the
word "um." When a man speaks of his
wife to a third person he calls her " um.'
Or when a wife speaks OF her husband she
calls him "um." For instance, cum il
going to Salyersville Tomorrow" OF
Cum shota bear yesterday" The word Ia
said to have originated with young mar
ried folks over 100 years ago, who were
too difldent to use the phrase "my wife
or :" my husband" While at the table
before strangers, the husband who desired
his wife to pass the bread or sorghum
would attract the attention of his wife by
clearing his throat, "ahem," "oohum,'
and finally degenerating the phrase ia
sum-" which was the final understand
ing when each was addressed.-Bourbon

Boston To-Day.

wool-Edwsrd Avery Presided-Tafry
for George Fred and shermie.

Boston, April Sat 1o:45 this morning
the delegates to the Democratic State
convention had taken their seats. AS SOON
as they came to order the work of the con-
vention was begun.
The Hon. Edward Avery was chosen to
preside. He made a ringing speech in
which he extolled the Democratic party
and said hat its candidate should be a
man of tried honesty and comprehensive
patriotism.
The platform adopted was In part as
follows THE platform of our conven-
tons of 1890 and 1891 il one upon which
we have twice elected the governor Of the
common wealth.
In the second year Of the present Demo-
cratic administration we believe that our
party enjoys in a greater degree than for
a long period the confidence and support
of the State. The record of our Demo
cratic members Of Congress has largely
added to the influence of the State in the
political affairs OF the union.
We affirm the Democratic doctrine that
no more money shall be collected in taxes
han is necessary for an ecCi,omical adj
ministration of the government.
We earnestly approve the bill now un-
der debate i'm the House of Representa-
tives placing wool upon the free list.
