DR. Wilbur's Lecture,

You will learn how to preserve your
health, strength and beauty, by attend
ing the three free lectures given by Dr.
Wilbur at Jacques auditorium, COM
mencing tomorrow night. The first
lecture is to ladies and gentlemen
Second lecture will be private, for ladies
only. The third lecture will be next
Wednesday night and will be private,
for gentlemen only. The lecturer is
graduate of the University of New York
city, where he also won the Mott gold
medal and a certificate of honor. He
has also been a physician in st Bar
tholOmew's hospital, London, England.
The doctors appearance recommends
him as one who knows the secret of
good health and wisely uses it. He is a
pleasing and witty speaker, who never
suffers his subject to become tedious or
dull. His plain, practical, common
sense manner and his frequent hits at
the follies and fashions which defy all
laws of health call forth frequent APP
plause. These lectures are illustrated
by his splendid! anatomical cabinet, a
sight of which is well worth a days
journey. The doctor will also exhibit
his dog with the silver stomach, allow
him to drink milk on the stage, and
simply by removing a cork, the milk
runs out as fast as he drinks it. The
dog is alive and will appear at each
lecture,

rHE MESSAGE REACHES CONGRESS.

u f7E MGOOA1E nErStl@O S0iN1nt-S~' l
Il is q Statement of Facts Leaving 1t
For Congress to Say Whether War
Shall BE Declared: --
WASHINGTON, JAM 25.-The. longide-
layed message OF President Harrison on
the Chill affair reached congress to-day.
The message itself contains about SIX
thousand words. The correspondence
accompanying it is of great value. 1t
would fill nearly one hundred columns
of an ordinary newspaper and dates as
far back as August Is, 1890.
The message is not particularly war
like in tone and simply refers to
particular parts of the correspondence
and calls attention to the necessity OF
protecting the American flag from in
suit 1t states that the president has
sent his ultimatum to Chill, demanding
that Chill shall make ample apology for
the attack on the sailors of the Baltl-
more, and pay an indemnity to the
families of the men.
The message upholds Minister Egan.
1t states that the CHILEAN government
has demanded his recall, but that
Minister Egan has acted, so far as
considering the trying position in which
he was placed.
The president does not advise con
gress to take any particular action. lie
simply puts the facts before them, leav-
ing the members to act at their own
discretion.
In regard to Minister Egan the mes
sage goes on to say that the minister has
borne himself with dignity discretion
and courage, and has conducted the cor
respondence with courtesy, ability and
firmness.
The president is still of the opinion
that the sailors were beaten, stabbed
and killed, not on account of anything
they had done, but for what the govern
ment of this country was charged witt
having done, by the civil officers anc
naval commanders of Chilli: If tina
! | is the true aspect the insult was t
the United States. He says no amour
of evasion or subterfuge has been abl'
f to conceal the real facts, and shows tina
the evidence proves that threats haC
f been openly made against the American
early in the day on which the assault
occurred. Indeed one merchant CLOSED
q his place.of business knowing that tn
. attack would be made.
From the facts contained in the CORE
spondence it is plain that the assault
was made because of the refusal of thi
government to recognize the congress
e sional party of Chill before tie over
r throw of Balmaceda, and because o
the charge that Admiral Brown hat
carried information to Valpa raise of tn
landing of Congressional troops a
Quinteros.
4 The communications of the Chilial
? government in relation to the matte
: have not in any degree expressed regret
j much less apology. If the injury ha
t been merely an accident it would hav
r been grave enough to have called TO
some expression of sympathy from tn
l. CHILEAN government.
: Finally the president says tina
!. he has concluded: First, that the late
v correspondence has not relieved the as
S sault Of the aspect given to it by tn
O early informatiOn: it was an attac
upon the United States navy. Secondl
. the authorities of Valparaiso refused
{ protect our men and the police were eve
{ guilty of assault before and after the al
. rest of the men.

KELLY SAYS

That honest competition is all right.
ompetition, the gigantic power that ele-
waited US all to the present state of evolu-
ton It is true that competition has
been and is now abused, but every insti-
tuition is subject to abuse and the misuse
thing in itself is wrong. Nobody can
deny that competition during the centu-
ries of Christian civilization has developed
the brains and muscles of the human
of humanity, stimulated by competition
these many centuries, have lifted our race
to standard where the mode of living of
common Bakers is more comfortable and
desirable than the everyday existence of
the Kings of which Homer sings.
Every generation has to battle with GER
tain problems, and it is my lot to battle
against grocers who buy Niagara Falls
Flour and sell it at lower price than the
cheapest grade of -four on the market, and
by doing so lose money and try to injure
the sale of this flour. This is not honest
competition.
Niagara Falls Flour will make more
bread and the bread will keep moist longer
than that made from any other grade of
-four.

Bird Surgery.

Some interesting observations re-
iating to the surgical treatment of
wounds by birds we're recently brought
10y M. Fatio before the Physical So
ciety of Geneva. According to the
Medical Review, he quoted the case
OF snipe which he had often OBJ
served engaged in repairing damages.
With its beak and feathers it makes
a very creditable dressing, applying
plasters to bleeding wounds. and even
securing broken limb by means of a
stout llgature. On one occasion he
KILLED snipe which had on the chest
large dressing composed of down
taken from other parts of the BODY
and securely fixed to the wound by
the coagulated blood, Twice he had
brought home spipe with interviewer
Feathers strapped on the site of frac-
ture OF one or other limb.

Monkeys Do Talk,

Prof. Garner in the Forum says
chat his researches leave him no
doubt at all that monkeys do really
talk, The range of their language,
or languages, for each variety speaks
q separate tongue, is small, and they
nave no apparent conception of alb
stract ideas. But not only do they
use many distinct words with definite
meanlngs-some of which he has
learned and is able to reproduce-but
some OF their words, he declares, are
evidently not sounds that occur in
the human languages. In short he
thinks that in their simian tongues
ne has found the primitive form Of
the first human speech.

year by year are creating all that the
world possesses Of progress in the arts
and sciences. Physically the Russian
peasant, or to give him his more famil
lar name, the moujik, is remarkably
fine specimen of humanity-tall and
proportionately built, of strong and
powerful frame, robust and enduring.
He generally wears beard and long
hair, cut short at the back to display the
powerful neck. His face is very attract
i've, having peculiarly pleasing ex-
preston, of mingled amiability, tender
ness, and candor. Over it all there
flashes now and then an unconscious
CLEAN Of barbaric wildness that imparts
a kind of picturesque fierceness to the
keenly expressive countenance. In char
acter he is by instinct simple, patient,
social, and good tempered.
The moujik lives under conditions
sufficiently trying even during ordinary
times to make it seem as though fate
would consider him to have his full
share of hardship, without forcing upon
him lot of still greater severity

Few are aware how many causes have
operated to handicap the Russian Gov
eminent in its efforts to relieve the
famine sufferers. Even the endeavors of
private individuals in the sams direction
have been pufposely hampered by the
malignant Misrepresentation Of en-
emies, writes st. Petersburg corre=
spondent in the Globe Democrat. False
hoods and slahders have been industri-
ously circulated through the news agen.
cies and other sources originating in the
resentful malice OF anarchists and other
interruptions individuals, having for
their object the stoppage Of charitable
contributions. A desire for revenge
against Russia for having expelled them
in self-defense is the actuating principle
of these attacks Deep must be the re-
sentiment which can stoop to such means
of retaliation.
The gross laxity of all Government
departments in Russia and the utter
absence of proper administrative
methods, joined to the fragrant and oft
condoned corruption and dishonesty of
all grades of officials, naturally makes
the Government helpless for all prac-
teal purposes in the face of sudden
and great disaster like the famine. The
peccant end peculating bureaucrat is
one of the greatest curses in Russia.
