The favors. which on an ordinary occasion
should have gone to tho ladies. wero last night
given to their partners. and while the distri-
button was amusing, tho presentation OF bou-
quets to tho men by the ladies' caused great
merriment The floral trophies we're fringed
and made OF queer assortment OF flowers.
and In many OF the bouquets were surprises

dice.

Ho Claims tn Have Found n Cure for
Epilepsy.
New York, Dec. 27.-Dr. Paul
Gibier, president Of the New York B &c.
THEOLOGICAL society and director Of the
Pasteur institute, read an interesting and
important paper before the Medical SO
ciety of the County of New York, al
the Academy of Medicine, in West
Forty-third street, last night, on IA
New Agent in the Treatment Of Epi
lepSy." In it he tells the result of a
scientific treatment which he has ap
piled to that class of patients for the
first time in this country or elsewhere,
The treatment is in line with that which
has excited interest in scientific meli
cal circles in France, and is a step in ad-
vance of the method employed in n
somewhat similar treatment in Paris.
The material used is prepared from the
vital organs of the sheep, after it has
undergone certain treatment in the lab
oratory of the Pasteur institute. The
injections We're made daily in each side
of the patient, just above the hip bone.
DR.. Gibier then gave an account OF
the results he had obtained with the use
of his nervihe in cases Of epilepsy. In
reference to the case Of ayOung French
man who belongs to family with an
epileptic history, DIR. Gibier said:
Before being subjected to this treat
ment he was almost in state of epilep'
tic vertigo, losing consciousness mo,
mentarily several times daily; he had a
persistent headache and very severe
seizure at least once weekly. His mem
ory and his mental powers were decreas-
ing steadily, and his face had very
idiotic expression. He had been sub,
jected to various forms of treatment
without much improvement. Under
the influence of the injections, admin
istered five times weekly, and without
any other remedy, his condition i'm
proved remarkably.
"The severe attacks diminished In
number and gravity, he recovered con
seriousness very rapidly after the seizures
without persistent headache, and his
memory became better. His expression
disappeared and he was more intelligent
One of the most interesting results wa
the disappearance of the vertigo, which
is only present when the treatment il
interrupted. Instead of four or ave
violent attacks in the period Of month
he was one month and half withou
symptoms. To-day he receives only TIVE
injections of six cubic centimeter week
ly, and for two months his improvement
has been most satisfactory.

UNCLE SANS NEW COLUMBIAN STICK
ERS ARE NOW IN HAND

And Will Be Placed on Sale the Frst Day
of tho New Y ear Something with Refer
ence to the Canton Post oBlce.
The postofIice employees have been on
the jump for more than week In their
efforts to get the Christmas and holiday
mail matter out of the way. Postmaster
Braden was seen this morning and be
stated that the rush of matter this year
exceeded anything he had ever seen In
the office. The mail pouches began to
swell up very perceptibly a week ago
Monday and gradually the contents in
creased until Thursday the flood of pack
ages was at high tide. This continued
over Saturday aud this week business has
begun to slow up to the normal condition.
With the beginning of 1893 some new
and important regulation will go into
effect in the postofflce, chief among which
is the reduction of the fee for registering
mail matter from ten TO eight cents
piece,
Postmaster Braden this morning re-
ceived the frat invoice OF the new Colum-
bian series of postage stamps. He re'
ceived them in denominations from one
up to fifty cents. The highest priced
stamps ever kept in the office here before
were worth only fifteen cents. The lot
contained ,0C0 Of one centers, 100000
two cent stamps and smaller numbers OF
the other denominations. They will be
placed on sale next Monday and will only
be issued during the year 1888.
A NEWS DEMOCRAT reporter was shown
some OF the stamps this morning and
they are certainly very beautiful and
| artistic. They are all made from line
engraviDgs on steel and each denomina-
ton bears a distinct de sign commemora-
tive of the discovery of America by
Columbus. The scenes represented on
:he different stamps are as follows:

Forfeited his Bond.

In 1891 Mics Jennie Deal, then a resi-.
dent OF Wooster, but now of Sandyville,
Stark county, caused the arrest of James
McFadden of Canton on delicate charge.
The case was called Thursday but Me-
Fadden did not respond and his bond was
and 30 years old. MISS Deal claimed that
McFadden ruined her when she was 16
years old.-Orrville.
McFadden is well known here and was
formerly "a real estate dealer with ofticea
in the Grand opera house block.
McEsdden is supposed to be in Colums
hus. He went there shortly before Me-
Kinley was inaugursted and told his
friends here that he expected to receive
an appointment of some kind. At last
accounts he was kicking because he
hadn't received the plum, as promised.

N. Y. World Special.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Dec. 26.-The
icy scenery about the Falls is the grand,
est in a decade. The formation is similar
in many respects TO that in the winter of
1879, when the Princess Louise and the
Marquis of Lorne were there.
The effect OF the setting sun today on
the myriad ice tracinRs and stalactites
was marvelously beautiful. Prospec.
Park, Gun Island and the end Of Goat Is
land were one glitterinR mass, rejecting
vari~colored lights which dimmed the
aplendor OF the many rainbows formed
by the mist.
A peculiar atmospheric effect was pro.
duced on the rapids abovethe falls all
day by the steam rising, as IL from boiling
springs. This was caused by the extreme
cold. The temperature of the air ranged
from degrees above zero TO 10 below,
while that Of the water was 20 to 40 de-
grees warmer.
In the twilight tonight the spectacle was

279o Difference
The "ROyaI" the Strongest and
Purest Baking Powder.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent. greater strength than any other brand
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound Of Royal Baking Powder sells
for so cents
One pound of no other powder is worth over
SO cents.
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place Of the Royal, see that you
are charged the correspondingly lower price.
