BEFRIENDED BY SENATOR HILL

A Youth Enabled to Graduate From College
by HIS Generosity.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 2s.-Harry sey-
mour Pearse was graduated with honors
from the Albany Medical College to-day.
In this simple announcement lies the one
bit of romance in the life of David B. Hill
that the public has ever been allowsd to
share. Young Pearse attracted Senator
(then Governor) Hills attention in Elmirs,
when he was poor and friendless. The Gov
ernor found that be was bright and active,
gentle and Courageous The boys ambition
was to be physician, and Governor Hill
resolved to crafty the hopes of the friend
less lad. He brought young Pearss to
Albany, gave him room at the Executive
Mansion, provided for his necessary e1-
penses and paid his fees at the Albany Med
ical College. When he turned the Exeou-
tive Mansion over to Governor and Mrs.
Flower, Senator Hill took rooms at No. 123
State street, and young Pearse's home is
there to-day.
The Senator has looked forward to the
graduation of his protege with much in
terest, and he was greatly disappointed
when he learned that the extra session of
the Legislature and the Republican Con-
vention occurred at a time when for purely
personal reasons he wished to be in Albany.
For fear that his presence here would be
misconstrued he remained at Washington
to-day. He is expected here next Sunday
or Monday, when he will give up the rooms
on State street and young Pearse will say
'Thank you" to a generous patron. The
graduate is about 21 years old, of medium
height, inclined to be of foil figure and with
a rosy complexion and blond mustache of
very recent growth He was prize essayist
in class of 54 and took the DR.. Boyd prize
for the best final examination in obstetrics.

FIsHERMAN's LUCK INDEED.

Two knights of tho Rod Caught Heavy
Colds and rheumatism.
Boston Transcript
A Danbury youth went trout-fshing the
other day and ventured to drop q sly line
into posted brook. Soon the approaching
figure of the owner loomed up in the dis
tance, and the Danbury youth knew he had
been seen. He took incontinently to the
bushes, where he spent very miserable
two hours in hiding and caught cold that
kept him two days in bed. Meanwhile the
terrible owner, who was not the owner at
all, had sought a similar refuge at sight of
the original culprit, and not until his teeth
chartered like typewriter did he venture
to leave the friendly but damp shelter and
stink away from the scene. He was an
elderly man, and his share in the days sport
resulted in four days rheumatic limp.

SCANDAL IN THE PULPIT
Clerical Politics Need Safeguards or There

Will Be Troable.
How can we prevent scandals from aris.
ing out of clerical politics? asks the New
York Independent. First, by discriminating
between proper and improper methods, and
not by condemning all efforts to secure a
particular object. Second. by opposing and
denouncng all methods which compromise
the honor of individuals or the body of the
ministry. Third, by diminishing the
"spoils," if we may SO call them, which
any ecclesiastical body may have to dis.
tribute.
The Methodist General Conference ought
to be relieved of the responsibility of elect
ing any officers for the Church except
bishops; the other offices should be filled by
the various boards of management If this
were done, the delegates would have more
time to devote to the legislative interests of
the Church, and would be in better frame OF
mind to consider those in terests. Clerical
politics need every possible safeguard
against the manifest tendency downward
into corrupt practices and open scandals

Social Effect of Electric Roads

Otis K. Stuart has collected number of
data bearing on the effect of electric roads
on society. Assuming that about cents
per car mile are saved by using electrical in
stead of horse power on street railways, Mr.
Stuart finds that the aggregate saving in the
operated electrically, would be So, 200, 900
Der annum. The resolution of this amount
into units shows that it is equal to the labor
of 20, 600, 900 men for one day, at the rate Of
81 25 to each, or about $1,000 men for one
year. This would give an increase of over
5000 year to the income Of. each stock
holder in the various street railway COM
panies of the country.

The Interior OF Australia.

A traveller returning from the interior of
Australia says: I penetrated the interior
for 200 or 800 miles, and saw the country
strewn with carcasses of sheep. The grass
had all dried up like paper, the water was
all gone, and great droves OF sheep had lit
ception of the desolation of the landscape.
N Not a tree or blade of green within sight,
no water to greet the eye, no clouds above
to cool the terrible heat of the suns rays
that beat perpendicularly down upon the
barren sand desert. To me it was an awful
spectacle, and my next visit to Australia
shall be confined to the coast regions, where
grass grows and water runs

CURING OPTIC TRoUBLEa

A Young Woman Who Had to Fix Her
Teeth and Abandon Corsets
The true oculist dosn't always prescribe
glasses. For example, a young woman whose
evesight had become very much impaired
was ordered. first Of all, to have ten or
a dozen amalgam filings drilled out of her
teeth. She was told that she might take
her choice between having the holes stopped
up with gold having all the teeth
drawn. She was next ordered to stop wear
ing corsets, and next she was subjected to q
course of treatment to allay stomach
trouble, sort of mild dyspepsia. The
doctor told her that, though glasses might
give her temporary help. pathological
treatment must be resorted to to produce q
permanent Improvement in her eyesight.

Freiburg, in Baden, has patented a process

somewhat shorter than the person to be

dried. Finally, armhoIes are cut in it, and
the dress is thereby finished. It is said to

was Not Armed.
Boise Statesman
Samuel J.. Pritchard, Deputy
United States Marshal and Secretary
Of the Republican Central Committee
of Idaho, was yesterday at Oreana,
Owhee county, shot and instantly
killed by Constable William Fleming.
AT the present writing the bloody
deed appears to have been a cruel
bu,chery.
A Statesman special from Reynolds
Creek a, $50 o'clock last night, re-
lated that Pritchard, who had been
drinking to some extent, had had a
quarrel with II man whose name was
not given, whom lie chastised.
A warrant for his arrest was placed
in the hands of the constable.
Fleming found Prltchard sitting in
one Of the stores ut Oreana, which is
small place twenty miles east of
Silver City, and he Immediately or
jered him to throw up his hands.
Pn,chard, evidently very much sur
pIised, did not do so.
Almost imms diately the constable
fired three shots.
Prtchar1 died almost instantly.
1t was afterward found that the un.
fortl late man was unsrmed. proving
tho murder to have been wholly un-
necessary.
The news OF the crime was great
shock to many of the citizens Of
Boise, and last night i, was the S, le
topic of discussion. pr,,chard was in
town only week ago. He was always
quiet and unassumine, and many
p ople were under the impression
that he was not drinking nan.
Pritchard had great many friends.
In 1880 he WAS elected asse ssor OF
Owyhee county. Several months ago
he was appointed deputy by United
States Marshal Pinkham, and the latter
said last night that Pritchard had been
one Of his best men.
The victim of the tragedy was a
man OF about IS years. He leaves a
wife and one child, who reside a,
Oreana.
United States Marshal Pinkham
will leave to-day for the scene Of the
murder.
