Treatment of Obesity.

In a medical article which was recent
ly reprinted in these columns from the
European edition of The Herald, our for
eign medical correspondent communi-
Gated approvingly the treatment for re-
ducing flesh recommended by M. Dujar-
Gin-Beaumetz.
At this season Of the year redundancy
of flesh interferes very much with COM
fort. The proposed method of curtail-
ing surplus fat includes refraining from
drinking between meals and giving up
the use of tea, coffee, cognac and other
liquors, and requires the patient to take
plenty of exercise, to breakfast and dine
early and to make his dinner without
soup Dry friction and massage every
morning, after general lotion with a
sponge dipped in hot water, and des

A Story About Booth.

John Malone, the actor, who Is also O
lawyer and a bookworm, has been writ
ing of Edwin Booth in The Forum. His
instructive shrinking from anything like
self praise" says he, 'impelled him often
to ascribe to accident the adoption of
some felicitous detail of illustrative &C
ton or variation of reading. Once
while we were rehearsing Hamlet he
told me how he came to adopt the ac-
ton of swearing Horatio and Marcellus
upon the cross of his sword.
"One night, he said, while kneeling dur
ing the ghosts speech with his hands
pressing rather heavily upon the sword
hilt, the point sank into the stage SO that
when he fell prone at the exit OF the
ghost the sword remained standing.
When he came to the line, Never make
known what you have seen tonight he
turned to recover the sword. Seeing ii
standing with the light shining upon the
cross, the words. I'll cross it though il
blast me, came into his mind, and he
grasped it by the blade and held out the
cross for his companions to swear on.
Thenceforward he adopted that action.
1t was this alertness of mind that dis
tinguished him, where another actor,
content with tradition and welded to
old ways, would have seized it by the
hilt as usual"

A Caustic Criticism of the Presidents
Message.
New YORK, Aug. 9.-The Washington
correspondent telegraphs the following,
with the statement that it was written
specially by Hon. Thomas B. Reed of
Maine
"One can hardly fail to be impressed
by the resemblance between the message
OF the president today, and that of the
last Democratic president who address,
ed the congress OF his party in 1857.
While the disaster ia not the same, the
expression of sorrow ia very similar.
While this message is impressive, it is
far from being adequate to the occasion.
While my votes in the past show plainly
| that have agreed with much that he
said, could not bring the injustice to
my own sense of truth if l did not re.
cord my entire disbelief that the idea
! the message states is the underlying
cause OF our disaster The cause of our
misfortunes is plainly the utter uncer-
tainty that reigns in finances and tariff
and in everything on which business can
be based. If you remove one element
Of uncertainty there remain all the 9th.
ers. You cannot readjust the economic
principles which govern the country
without disaster, especially if the read
justment be violated, and involve the

THE WRONG DONE INDIA.
A PROTEST AGAINST 1T IN TIN
COMMONS.
Chaplin Calls the British Government
TO Account-An Autumn Session
of Parliament Announced
by Gladstone.

LONDON, Aug 81 Gladstone announced
in the house of commons today that the
government intended to hold an autumn
session. The announcement was re-
ceived with loud cheering by the sup
porters of the government. The premier
added that no adjournment would be
had until the remaining stages of the
home rule bill we're passed.
Henry Chaplin asked leave to move
an adjournment of the house in order
that the changes in the Indian currency
system might be discussed. He blamed
the government for persistently obstruct-
ing the discussion OF the question. He
charged the government with vir-
tuslly mulcting the natives of
India by tampering with the currency.
The closing of the Indian mints to free
coinage of silver had necessarily led to
such fall in the value OF that metal
within month, as the world had never
before known. There had been q tre-
mendous wrong done to the people Of
India who held enormous quantities of
uncoined metal. By single stroke the
government had deprecated by Is per
cent the value Of the silver held by the
population of India. A more hagrant
act Of public plunder had never before
been perpetrated by civilized govern
ment. II the repeal by the American
congress of the Sherman act should be-
come inevitable, it would be partly due
to the error committed in India.
Further fall in the price of silver must
follow the repeal of the Sherman act.
Frequently during his remarks Chap
lin was interrupted by cries of "Hear,
Hear"
Chaplin demanded to know whether
the government, before taking action in
India. had any communication with the
United States government.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chan
cellor OF the exchequer, declined to enter
into a general argument. The course
taken by the government, he said, was
indicated by tho royal onanaisaion ef
1883 which pointed out the dangerous
and mischievous effect which bimetal-
lism would have upon India. The gov
ernment stood by those views.
ArthurJames Balfour, the Conserva-
tive leader, said it was something ap-
preaching lunacy for the chancellor to
get up and tell the country he regarded
with absolute indifference what hap
pened to silver.
Dadabhai Naoroji, Parsee member,
who sits as a Liberal for the Central
Finsbury division, protested that the
natives OF India already felt the pinch
of the change, and that they would soon
awake through suffering to the wrong
done them.
Sir William Harcourt moved the clos
ure of the debate. The motion WAS car
ried without division.

The lines Gays: There is not trace

removal is essential to the recovery, is
not denounced in any angry spirit, and
no reflection is made upon the motives
of those who brought it about. There
is no harsh criticism of conflicting theo-
ries or theorists, while there is most
moving appeal to the sense OF patriotism
and fairness Of all. 1t is message that
every American must respect, and OF
which all may feel not only satisfaction,

the pith OF the message sent by Presi-
dent Cleveland to congress. Now that
congress has been brought together for
special purpose dealing with the ques-
tion, it would be positive crime for the
members of that body to waste time in
absurd debates.
DENVER OPINION.
The Denver Republican says: Taken
as a whole the presidents message will
prove greater setback to the advocates
OF single gold standard than to the up
holders of bimetallism. 1t recommends
the unconditional repeal of the purchase
ing clause of the Sherman act, but does
not contain q single valid argument to
prove that the existing present financial
stringency should be relieved in any
way by cutting off any means now avail
able for any increase OF the too limited
circulation of the country. 1t
makes no reference to the
incalculable injury that would be done
to the country by paralyzing its silver
mining industry, which is capable under
favorable conditions of adding $50, ,000,-
600 to 500, 900, 900 annually to the per-
manent wealth Of the world. 1t will be
hailed with delight in Lombard street
and Regent street, and by the holders
of fixed debts wherever American secur-
tiles are held, but it will sound like a
death knell to all debtors all over the
land.
The Rocky Mountain News says: The
line is drawn. On one side is Grover
Cleveland and all the power OF his ad-
to force the country, at
whatever cost, to gold standard. On
the other are the people with all their
interests, struggling to restore the BIZ
metallic standard and thus save them
selves and their country from utter hus-
ness ruin. What he says will have no
weight with intelligent and unbiased
men and will meet the approval of those
only whose interests lie in the impover-
ishment of the masses of the country,
for the enrichment Of the classes, for
eign and American, that own money
and are therefore seeking advantages by
lasaaninp thA ualnas of all fhA other as. |

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Immediately
after the presidents message reached
Wall street, considera bly, before the
average operator had an opportunity to
read, not to speak of digesting it, q
drive was made against the whole stock
market. Itwas the old device OF the bears
to cell on piece of bullish information.
1t proved successful once more and some
long stock was sold by holders who had
not time to read the message and con-
cluded from the drop in prices that the
document was disappointing. As "a mat
ter of fact, however, it fully met the ex.
pectations of the leading bankers and
conservative Wall street houses,
who had been most desirous that
silver legislation should take pre-.
cedence of everything else. and
that congress should adjourn as
speedily as possible after repeating the
Sherman silver law. Industrisls bore
the brunt of the attack, and fell 8 to AZ

Frederick K. LOTUS came to his death

tractor are responsible for the killing
of Lotus. The jurors further find that

superintendent of the work of repair
and alteration of its buildings in charge
of the war department is most unbusi-
nesslike and reprehensible, and are of

ing gratis to the poor as specific for
typhus, with wonderful results. The
chemists find that the jicama is a
valerianic root which gives high action,
due to the great quantity of valerie
acid which it contains. They also note
that it is powerful sudorifc, taken as
an infusion. A microscopic examina-
ton is being made of the plant, and the
result of the study will be given at the
next session of the institute, in July.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Chauncey M. Depew of New York
City, who is probably as we'll qualified
to speak on financial subjects as any
man in the country, was interviewed
recently to the following effect. Speak
ing of the financial condition, Mr.. De-
pew said:
1t is largely matter of sentiment.
If the people believe there is money
enough in the country to do business
on, there is enough; but, if on the other
hand, they have the impression that
there is not sufficient money, they with
draw their savings from the bank, lose
their interest, which the banker gains,
and the next day when they discover
that the bank is perfectly safe, and that
the business world has not collapsed,
they carry their savings back to the
banks again. believe that the finan-
cial stringency and scare are over.
Among the moneyed men in the east
there is unanimous feeling and desire
for special session of congress, and
that just as quickly as possible. Nat
ional relief is needed to reestablish a
feeling of security. AS to the Sherman
bill there is demand for its repeal,
though the desire for this repeal is 8
matter of sentiment, and not based or
any apparent necessity. AT least, thai
is that is the way 1 look at it.
