and lining were found entirely normal but
literally filed with nails, screws, tacks, and
broken glass, which the man had swsl-
loved Beginning from the base of the
tongue back to the asOepagus, from there
entirely down into the stomach, the nails,
tacks, glass. etc, were found. In the stomach
itself was also found almost a handful OF

A Queer suicide.

ELKroS, Nd, March 2i--John s. Eysrist
aged IS years, a wealthy farmer, committed
suicide BY drowning in large pump trough
or the farm Of Harvey Hindman, near Port
Deposit. In some manner the dead man
had managed to place tWo-pronged hay
FORK across his neck and fasten it firmly in
the bottom of the trough. This fact led TO
the suspicion that the man had met with
foul play. This was dispelled, however,
when it was learned that he had not retired
last night and that he had left directions
for his funeral and selected the pail bearers.
He had suffered from a cataract in the eye
and feared he would become blind.

The thirteen trees which Alexander Ham
ilton planted in front Of his house in New
York to represent the. thirteen original states
are in the line of the march of Improvement
in Harlem Heights, and it has been decreed
that they must go. There is nothing in
New York which more intimately connects
the first years of the republic with the pres.
ent time than these stately elms. 1t is said
that General Hamilton named each of these
trees, and that each of them has grown as
the states have grown. New York and
Pennsylvania are the largest of all, while
Rhode Island is the smallest. There is pref
ty legend that during the war bolts of light.
ming struck the trees named South Carolina
North Carolina. Virginia and Georgia. South
Carolina suffered most severity, but ali were
shattered. But the trees were not killed
New branches have grown out and the trees
have grown as strong as ever.

TOO GAUzY.

Senator Perkins offered an amend
ment to the deficiency bill, when that
measure was before the senate the first
of the week, providing for the ratifica-
ton of the Cherokee strip treaty and for
the early opening Of those lands to settle
ment. The Pop. press of this district
are jumping astraddle Of the senator
neck and would ride him out of the
senate, out OF the state and out OF the
country if they could ON the charge OF
duplicity. The point Of the charge Is
that he waited until it is too late to
secure the passage. of tie bh.-the
amendment could not be considered IN
connection with the bill newfoundland
was offered as a piece OF demagogy.
This cry raised by these people is simply
convenient ''stop, thief, to divert at
ton from the detachable Mr. Simpson,
who Acknowledges that his little display
in the house over the strip question was
made for buncombe But it won't work.
Tie citizens of this district will continue
to place the responsibility for this failure
and disappointment where it blongs,
mainly-on the shoulders of Jerry
SimpsOn.

MORE DRESS REFORM.

From tie Chicago News.
As at the Chautauqua convention of
n year ago, the ladies " ho have assem-
bled this year at that famous spot are
absorbed in the question of dress reform.
They are, if anything, more srdentiy
radical than ever.
One earnest reformer made a long ad-
dress last FRIDAY denonncing half the
articles of the feminine wardrobe. She
attacked heavy skirts, corsstS, tight
dresses, collars and high-beeied boots.
She also denounced fripperies and super
fiuous ornamentations. What the sex
needs, she explained, is q light costume,
simple and plain. and so perfectly hT-
cienic that diseases might be Cared sim
My BIZ wearing one, as a man wears a
liver pad. She said. however, tia, her
ideal gown is durable as adama0L We
Judge from her remarks that bafore the
gown would he worn out 1t would wear
the wearer out
All this and much more to the same
effect produced an obvious sensation
among the iady attendants and lnnumer-
able harsh things were said about the
styles now prevailing.
There Is no real reason for doubtln z
that the proululgator OF the neT dress
speaks truthfuliy OF It's many merits
But she does not tell US that tins highly
sanitary gown looks either stylish or
pretty or winsome. Therein her cause
is week ard her arguments fall 10 sllt
ground Reformed dresses may be good
Things. but they are useless unless some
body viii wear them.
And what woman proposes 10 r1a&t
herself fright for reforms sake
