How Paradise Is Really Lost

''Where was the Garden of Eden?"
was one of the interesting questions on
which Mr.. Ho11nuzd Rassam discoursed
before the Victoria Philosophical Insti-
tute, Sir G. G. Stokes, NJ. P, in the
chair. Mr.. Russian has been recently
excavating Babylonian and Assyrian
sites, but he has not found the Eden
site, and he showed how utterly impos-
sible it was to fix the locale in land
where volcanic action ard physical alter
ations had i'll many places changed the
courses of the rivers in past ages In
this sense it is really Paradise Lost. .

The method proposed by M. Variot
French authority. for extirpating tattoo
marks has been widely described and
approved, the initial proceeding being
simply to wash the part with concen
trated solution of fannie acid then
closely puncturing it with set of nee
dies, such as tattooers use; following
this, a crayon of nitrate of silver Is
thoroughly rubbed over the area, and
after moment the skin is dried off. at
which stage it is found that the pune
lures have become deeply blackened by
Vie formation of the tannate of silver in
the superficial layers of the skin.
The cauterization is said to result IN
an inhammatory reaction for a couple
of days, and subsequently in the forma
ton of a crust of thin eschar. which sep.
arates spontaneously in from fourteen
to eighteen days, leaving beneath it a
superficial red cicatTix, which gradually
loses its color, and at the end of few
months is scarcely perceptible Only a
small area is to be treated at one time
and powdered tannin is the simple
dressing to be employed. New York

what President Conrad Has to Say About
the Big Lottery.

what President Conrad Has to Say About
the Big Lottery.
New ORLEANS, August 26.-President
Paul Conrad of the Louisiana Lottery
Company was interviewed to-day about
the dispatch regarding the company's
attempt to purchase a location in the
Sandwich Islands. He said: =" 1t is
fake sensation pure and simple, or a
malicious connection, designed perhaps
to prejudice the company in the minds
of the people of the United States by
creating the impression that our busi-
ness is TO be removed from the legal re-
striction and accountability it is now
under by virtue OF the laws OF Louisiana.
Were the Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany to become Hawaiian instead of a
Louisiana concern, of course it would
be practically an impossibility to enforce
claims against it; whereas, being duly
chartered corporation of this State, it is
amenable to the laws. Obligations can
be enforced through the courts against
it the same IS against any lawful and
responsible company"
but what are the company's plans
for the future? Might not their negoti-
ations be carried on without your knowl-
edoe?"
Scarcely such vast sums as are talked
OF are not carried in ones vest pocket
nor expended by one member of a con-
IN without consulting his associates.
The owners of the Louisiana Lottery are
now scattered over the globe seeking
peace or pleasure, according to their
condition or taste. Mr.. Morris, with
friends, have been for weeks cruising
about on his yacht, and doubt If any
one has communicated with him on bust
ness of any description. Certainly he is
not giving himself any concern about
lottery business, and l repeat there is
simply nothing in this alleged San Fran
cisco story except IDLE gossip, so far as
know, and l think l know all the facts
The Louisiana Lottery Company will live
out its allotted time as fixed by its vested
rights, say couple OF years longer, do
ing its business here as it always has
and abiding by the popular decision il
the recent contest. New York Times

ON THE WAY TO PARADISE.

Let us hope that the people who habitually
disregard their health will ach that desirable
place, and avoid the locality which is less de-
siraDle as an eternal residence on account of the
heat and surroundings generally. But while we
tarry in this vale of tears, why should we vO un-
tariiy endure the fortunes of dyspepsia when a
systematic use of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
will rid us of the atrocious malady whieh-un-
shorten the term of our existence. Heartburn,
biliousness, constipation almost always accom-
pany this complaint, and are symptomatic of 1t.
These are all extnguishe1 by the Bitters, which
also cOnquers completely malaria, rheumatism,
ne, vousness and debility Since the appearance
o "la grippe" it has shown a singular mastery
over tn formidable complaint that has carried
off many of our brightest and best.

A "Dick Deadexe" Opinion.

The ranks of the naval reserve in
Boston are recruited from the flower OF
clubdom. and its members hold them
selves in readiness at duty'S call to lay
aside their dress suits or their Poole
morning clothes for their white duck
suits or tarpaulinS, and they pride them
selves on their efficiency In handling
the slush bucket and manipulating the
big guns.
During the practice drill on the arm
ored cruisers last summer one OF these
amateur Boston tars. who is noted for
his 'culchaw" and refinement, was
smoking friendly pipe with one of the
Dick Dcadeyes of the regular navy.
The conversation turned naturally to
the subject of the naval reserve, and
after while the clubman said:
Now, tell me candldly, which does
the best work, the reserve In Boston or
the one in New York?'
The old sea dog shifted his quid,
hitched his trousers, ''winked the other
eye" and said:
"Well, sir, without wishin to t1atter
you, the New York reserves amt in it
with Boston. They can't do their work
like you cam"
''Pve always thought So" said the
Bostonian, complacentIy, land am glad
to have my opinion confirmed by COM
petent authority. What seems to be the
trouble with them over thereW
''Well, SIR" said Dick, slowly, blow
ing cloud Of blue smoke, "the trouble
is that they don't take to work like you
do; they are all gentlemen over there"
Eight bells struck, and deep silence

BRAND NEW PLAY.
"A PaItry Million" Successfully
Given Mt the NIetroDOlitan.

Given at the Metropolitan.
"a Paltrv Million" the new comedy
drama by Charles Klein. was gwen its
initial presentation at the Metropolitan
opera house, last evening, to only
moderate house. "By Proxy" is the
best known work of the author, but 1t is
conceded that it is by no means the SUI
perior of the new comedy, which Is
destined to leap at once into favor 1t
must be said in the beginning that the
play was produced under rather unta-
Yorable auspices, as the audience, While
appreciatiye and demOnStratlVe. was
entirely too small to give the proper
encouragement to so good company
The best actor is necessarily a little
timid on the uncertain ground OF new
and untried play. and needs the sup
port and encouragement OF a large and
enthusiastic audience. "a Paltry Mill
ion'' is cleverly written and exceeding
ly funny, embodyiug the story OF an im-
pecuniouS attorney who married a rich
widow and went in for politics. The
attorney is perSOnated by Charles DICK
son. and it is needless to say the part Is
made the most of. In fact, 1t would be
&.uch more difficult piece Of comedy
Work that would not be solved by him.
The adjuncts are all very funny, and
the situations ridiculous in the extreme.
There was nothing of the heSitancy OF
uncertainty of a first production, every
thing going off smoothly and salts
factorily, and the audience testifylng
their appreciation by the most uproar-
iouS applause and by calling the entire
company before the curtain. There is
no doubt that "A Paltry Million" will
be a success, especially when inter-
preted by so excellent company.
THE Man About Town" was given as a
curtain raiser, and was Splendidly pre-
scented.
New York's lastnseason's most pro-
nOunced comedy success, The Junior
Partner" will be the attraction at the
Metropolitan opera house for three
nights and Wednesday matinee, begin
ming tonight. The comedy will be pre-
scented by the original New York cast,
including the following names: Miss
May Irwin, Mrs. Mckee Rankin, Miss
Emily Banckcr. Miss Phyllis Rankin,
Henry Miller, Hugo Toland, Thomas
Ryley and +. B. Strong. The Junior
Partner" will be preceded each per-
Torrance by Clyde Fitch'S superb one
act play, "Fredric Lemaitre," Henry
Miller playing in the title role Of this
One-act piece. AS this double Dill VIII
be presented by the original New York
company, the Metropolitan opera house
will no doubt be largely patronized for
this engagement.
The sale of seats and boxes for the
engagement of Thomas W. Keene the
latter half of this week at the Metro
poitan opera. house begins at the box
office this morning. Thursday ana Sat
urday evenings he will give grand
scenic production of "Richard ILL.,"
Friday night he will present "Othello,"
and Saturday matinee he will be seen in
"Richelieu." Mr.. Keene has a very
strong legitimate company and will give
most exquisite performances.

MarveIs in Miniature.

Chicago Herald.
In museum of curiosities at Salem,
Mass, there is preserved common
cherry seed or stone, followed and fash
toned like baket. Within the basket
are twelve tiny silver spoons, the shape
and fiGish of which cannot be distin-
guished with the naked eye. DR.. Peter
Oliver, who lived in England during the
early part of the eighteenth century,
tells of seeing carved cherry stone
which would be wonder even in this
age of fine tools and fine workmanship.
The stone was one from common
CHEEKY, and upon it were carved the
heads of 124 popes. kings, queens, en-
perors, saints, etc. Small as they must
necessarily have been, it is announced
on the authority of Prof. Oliver that
with good glass the heads OF the popes
and kings could readily be distinguished
from those of the queens and saints 10y
their miters and crowns. The gentle
man who brought this little wonder to
England purchased it i'll Prussia, al
lowing the original owner 5000 for his
treasure. Think of it, $4,000 for a

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.

May Johnson's Intellectual Effort
at Suicide.
9 Nav johnson, nymph du pave, VINO
has rooms at 3l7 Cedar street, made
desperate attempt last evening to shut-
file off the mortal coil. She had spent
the day with her clover" a young man
about town, and whether or not they
had auarreled is not related. During
the evening the madam who conducts;
the bordel heard the cry that May had
.aken poison. and she hurried to the
girls apartments. May was PROSTATE
on the bed, and palpaDly suffering eX-
cruciating pains. The police were at
once summoned, and then Deputy Cor
oner Mortelle was called in. He APP
piled stomach pump and administered
certain specifics and antidotes, and at
midnight the rash girl was out of dan
ger. 1t is evident that the carbolic acid
that the girl swallowed was largely
adulterated, as her mouth and throat
were not badly burned. as they would
naturally have been had the acid been
strong.
The girl gives no explanation nor eX-
cuse, but 1T is supposed that the anlmuS
was lovers quarrel.
