CURSED BY A TRAMP.
The Girl Who Refused Bread to a Wan

derer Now Regrets 1t.
One of the cases that now and then
come up to puzzle medical men is that
of young girl in North Plains, Conn,
who has suddenly developed a most alb
normal appetite.
She is of religious turn of mind, and
a few days ago she refused food to a
tramp who applied at the door. The
tramp said that God would curse her,
and she soon became moody and de-
spondent.
Then the peculiar appetite began to
develop and she has been hungry al
most ever since. She has to be fed
several times a day.
A local physician suggested that she
be forced to eat until she became nau-
seated, and this was tried, but she ate
everything that was placed before her.
Another physician placed her on a diet
of three meals day, but she became
delirious and this plan had to be given
up.
Anyone who can suggest a remedy
will confer a favor upon the young
'xomanls parents and also avert a
threatened famine.

Featherhead Nonsense.

The demand made by few feather
headed zealots that the Republican
senators by absenting themselves at
tempt to force the Democrats to COM
promise is hopeless blather. Grim
inal laundering that has thrown away
a pivotal state cannot be redeemed by
any such revolutionary folly. What
was wrong for the Ohio Democrats
cannot be right for the New York Re-
publicans. The result has been de-
clared by the canvassing board which
the people OF New York established,
acting under the decision OF the high
est court OF their state and that ends
it. The fault is that of few ignorant
and careless Republicans. The loss is
to the whole Republican party. The
great gain is to David b. Hill. He

THE best lesson OF many rich mems
lives is the ircapacity Of enormous

or horror in proportion to its vast
amount There is no advantage or
entertainment in the possession Of
wealth that grossly exceeds the capac-
fly OF the owner to enjoy. Beyond
the mere seuNe of power which great
wealth brings, man is far happier
with a million than with twenty mil
