Too Tired to Keep Moving.

Mrs. Theresa Boyer, of Cincinnati, created
quite an excitement at the Union depot
last evening. The lady is here visiting a
sister and yesterday started out to walk
about the city. During the day, it is al
legged, she took too much liquid patriotism
and when she reached the depot was unable
to walk further. A crowd gathered and
the officers tried to make her walk but she
insisted on sitting down on the pavement.
The patrol wagon was finally called and she
was locked up in Central station on a charge
OF drunkenness.

An Interesting Question.

A very interesting question Is before
congress and the American Bar associa
ton arising out of the unfortunate mas
sacre Of the Italians in New Orleans
The relations between this country and
Italy were strained nearly to the point
of war. Diplomatic intercourse was moi
discontinued. but Baron Fava. the Ital
ian minister, was recalled.
The issue in the controversy arose
from the conduct of the mob that broke
into the New Orleans Jail and killed the
Italians who had been arrested for the
murder Of the chief of police. Fol-
everything done by the people of the
city. and for everything done or left
undone by the government and courts
Of the state of Louisiana, the federal
government was responsible to Italy.
The men engaged In the outrage were
acquitted, and this government recog.
nized its moral responsibility at least
by paying q small sum Of money to sur.
viying sufferers.
The question before congress and the
Bar associations international law COM

LIVING ON AR.

The Remarkable Survival Of Three En-.
| tombed Miners in Bohemia.
The teaching of experience as illus.
trated by several instances of prolonged
abstinence, though it may afford some
idea Of human endurance in this .partic'
ular under special conditions, has YET
provided no certain criterion of the vi.
tai resistance possessed by the average
man when suddenly deprived of every
form of sustenance. The measure Of
this force may nevertheless be gauged
with approximate correctness from the
history Of recurrent instances of pro
longed aud accidental pri9ation. AS an
example. the following is remarkable
even In this category:
It is the narrative Of three Bohemian
miners, who, after being entombed by q
fall Of sand In the pit where they were
working, were finally rescued alive,
though Of course In an utterly prostrate
condition, seventeen days later, During
the period of their live burial air was
pumped down to them by bore holes.
On this they may be said to have lived,
without food and without water. The
total want of the latter Is what makes
their survival so remarkable. But for
this essential the longer fasts Of profes-
sional fasting men would have been
quite impossible.
We can have no difficulty in under
standing generally why this holds true
If we bear in mind the fact that not
only does water constitute by far the
greater constituent of every tissue, but
that without Its due proportion the cir
culstion and nutrition Of theyblood and
that needful if costly chemical change
upon which all +, tissue repair depends
would be alike impossible.
In endeavoring to trace the rationale
of life persisting, as in the case Of the
buried miners, In spite Of the absence Of
every natural condition, we must notice
one or two significant points. In the
first place, their condition was that Of
rest, their functional metabolism being
proportionally less active, their waste of
tissue diminished and their output Of
carbonic acid not so likely to overcharge
the surrounding atmosphere. Further,
we may take it for granted that robust
physique had no small sshare in the con-
servation Of vital energy.
Much depends in such cases on the
amount of nitrogenous matter stored up,
for the most partin the muscular tissue,
and available for destructive changes.
We may safely assume that the amount
of reserve nitrogen in the case Of these
men was not meager. 1t is mainly, no
doubt, TO this circumstance that we
must attribute not only the fact of their
existence, but the still more remarkable
prospect of their convalescence and ulti-
mate recovery.-London Lancet.

to the lady In the macintosh, whose
head happened to be turned away, and
inquired tersely:
