A WONDERFUL ADVANCE.
Tho Most Remarkable Improvements
Which Have Taken Place in the Fast

Which Have Taken Place in the Past
Few Years.
CMedical Journal.1
The great Dr. Richardson. of London. has Just
been talking about leechos. He declares that the
principal practice Of the past, even Within MS
memory, was blood-letting. He says, 'The lancet.
In frequent use, was supplemented by tho eech ana
the cupping glass. It may seem incredible, but It
Is the fact that knew Of one practice III which the
leech bill alone reached the sum Of Eloo year. l
also knew . practice in which 0 man, who had
learned to apply leeches skifully, was attached to
the firm as the regular reechman.' He-dear old
fellow!-was too good and devoted to his work
ever to be forgotten; he could make leeches bite
when no one else could, they loved him so;' ne
was known to fame the country round, and many
countryman was ready to swear that he owed mis-
life to Old Josh, the .Leechman.'
This seems absurd to you, dces 1t not, but Is 10
any more absurd than some things which are done
at the present day? You are told that you must
purify your blood and then are left free to injure
and rack your nerves to pieces. Do you not know
that the blood can never be pure while the nerves
are weak or shaken? Whoever saw or heard OF
healthy man woman with trembling nerves? Is
1t not as absurd the old bood-lettng practice to
cry purify the blood and then neglect the nervesf
Be consistent
No known remedy of the doctors will strengthen
the nerves without injuring them. 1t remained
for discovery to come to the world that could and
would accomplish this. 1t was no ordinary acci-
dental discovery but the result Of patient and
scientific experimenting. 1t came to Prof. Phelps.
Of Dartmouth College, and after years Of expert

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Whisky Trust officers Heard in Their
Own Defense at Boston.
PROPERTY ITSELF Is MONOPOLY.
Three Big Safe Concerns Combining to
Control the Market
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

BOSTON, March 3o-A hearing on a petit
members of the Whisky Trust was had
to-day before Judge Nelson. District
Attorney Allen, addressing the Court, said
the counsel representing the defendants in
the case of the United States against Joseph
B. Greenhut were there prepared to pre-
sent to the Court their position on the pleas
they had filed. The Government was
anxious to assist them in every way. He
suggested that the matter be submitted
principally upon briefs
Mr.. Root declared they could not object
to it in substance, in view of the condition
in which the District Attorney found him.
self, but would simply like to know some
thing of the position he takes. This being
agreed to, the hearing proceeded on the mo-
tien to quash. Mr.. Root opened the argu-
ment.
He said that the Indictment merely
charged, in substance, that the officers of
legally-incorporated institution had manu-
factured distilled spirits in legal manner
and sold them at prices which they fixed
themselves; and that, having done this,
they had made sales in Massachusetts and
monopolized the trade in distilled spirits
and exscted from the people large sums of
money. Mr.. Root was at loss to know
what crime had been committed. The law
made it an offense to monopolize trade and
commerce between the States, but the pres
emf, indictment did not allege that the de-
fendant had done anything of the kind, and
it merely charged a monopoly OF trade in
one State Continuing, Mr.. Root said:
The only thing in the Indictment which
can be conjectured as furnishing ground for
such a charge as is made against the de-
fendants, are the rebate contracts. Now the
company merely made an offer to Mills,
Gaffney and others to sell them spirits, and
If the latter would purchase exclusively
from the company they were to receive
rebate, the spirits at the time of sale being
the lawful property of the company. Under
that Offer the rebate was to be paid in six
months. Does thatconstitute q contract on
restraint of trade. The company was will
ing to sell to anybody on these terms.
The question is whether, in the dealing of
the corporation in its own property manu-.
factured by it, they have been guilty Of
monopolizfng trade OF commerce. The es-
septial idea of property is monopoly. The
right to property is the right to monopolize
The exercise of the rights of the defendants
does not interfere with the rights of others.
District Attorney Allen said the Govern
ment would submit its case in about week.

may be employed in the mine before the
second opening is made. The appeal was

Three Strange Deaths and an Explosion
of Dynamite.

MEXICO, December 2s.-Tuesday after
noon, Thomas Burgess, an old and re-
spected resident of the town of Peru,
whose house was halfway between West
Peru and Rumford Falls, went into the
woods to get wood. Not long after he
left his home he was found dead, his
body yet warm and pressed against
standing tree BY onewhich he had eyi-
IDENTIFY just chopped from its stump. :.
A. man at Rumford Falls named Frank
Richards was striking rock with a
sledge Tuesday afternoon. In the rock
was an unexploded dynamite cartridge.
His blows exploded the cartridge, and
the man was thrown some distance into
the air. One arm was nearly torn in
two, the other arm and one leg being
broken. 1t was supposed that death
would soon relieve him from pain, but
he had at last reports recovered con-
seriousness, and there was some hope OF
his recovery. :.
Two men, who were apparently well
Tuesday, secured some wood alcohol or
other kind Of poison which they drank.
In the afternoon both died. 1t is claimed
that the man who sold the drink is
known, and that he has skipped. Their
names are given as William Falvey and
Louis Berry of Quebec.

Those in the vicinity at the time OF the

of ruins and they are certain to be ruined

cases were Knocked into strips and the
clerks were hurled headlong in the de-
bris. A wave of fame seemed to sweep
through the lower part of the demolished
tenements Immediately after the crash.
Some of the stunned and bleeding
tenants managed to crawl to the lower
windows and make their escape in that
way. Three persons were killed out
