THE SALVATION ARMY.
1t Receives Rough Treatment at the
Hands of q Mob.

~ AAOSSifOS at The
Hands of 81 Mob.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-There was rioting at
Eastbourne to-day, caused by the Saliva
ton Army holding special celebration
to commemorate the founding of the
corps. After the usual morning services
the Salvationists marched through the
streets under police protection and were
disturbed only by running comments
and chatf from the crowds on the side
walks. In the afternoon a mob rapidly
collected at the Salvation Army citadel.
and as the soldiers filed out they were
subjected to more chatf, accompanied by
the singing of a ribald parody. yelling
and hooting. Several hundred we'll
dressed men formed corps twenty
abreast, surging up, followed by the army
to the beach, where it was proposed to
hold the meeting.

although nearly overpowered by num-
bers.
The Salvationists were pelted with
pebbles by their foes through the hour
they remained on the beach. When the
service was ended the members of the
army commenced the return march.
They climbed to the parade with the ut
most difficulty, the assailants making
frequent rallies but failing to capture the
Salvationist flag. Desperate hand to
hand encounters with policemen were
continued. A few clergymen and soldiers
were present, but held aloof. When the
struggling crowd reached point oppo-
site the Burlington Hotel, the police hav-

made and proved successful. The flag
was seized and torn into shreds. Cans

so as not to be astonished when one turns
up, as if some new thing had happened.
Perhaps this is new: DIR. r. Ellis of Dam
bury, Conn.,, contributes to the Medical
Record history of a soap-eating mania
from earliest childhood, from which the
stomach of lady, his patient, now sul-
fers at the age OF 20. When about wears
ofage she first enjoyed mouthful of bar
soap; so agreeable was the taste that she
would eat it whenever she could get it.
When aged years her mother found
her, spoon in hand, eating soft soap with
a keen relish. The habit continued until
at IL her stomach became so infiamed
that she had to suspend it, although the
longing for soap has never abated, and at
% bar of the forbidden fruit so tempted
her that she ate it all up within twenty
four hours.
The really interesting thing in this case
would be to investigate the chemico-
physiological popularity of this persons
system that might account for its pecu-
liar craving and tolerance of such an al
kaline diet. Should it be an enormous
acidity of temperament? or what other
kind Of re-agency?

two men went to the cabin occupied by

cross the bridge and see that everything
was all right. He had not gone very far
when he discovered two giant powder
cartridges, to which were attached long
fuses. He threw them in the river and
started back to arm himself and prepare
to patrol. He reached an uncovered por-
ton of the trestle when he was seized by
the men, who threw him to the ground,
sixteen feet below. The old man was
found there this morning unconscious.
