ger train jumped the track in the city
of Lafayette, Ind. The failure of the
air brakes seems to have been the

the track on a curve near the depot

feet. 10 add to the horrors of the
occasion fire broke out in the ruins
and many we're badly burned. Ten

said Mr.. Ckreitzberg, that drunkards
are taken before the officer OF the law
and fined So. To fine man for drinking
what the law says he may drink. is as il
you were to fine a man for catching the
smallpox, the yellow fever or the chol-
era-"-Monday's CITIZEN.
MEN are not fined for drinking ..: FOL
the disorder and bad behavior that
sometimes follow drinking too much
So. also, though the law says men may
talk, they are sometimes fined for talking
too much. if what thev say is abusive or
slanderous or lihellous. The day will
probably como when n man will be fined
for catching the small poX, the yellow

Anybody who has ever eaten so much
dinner that it became necessary to un-
button his waistcoat will feel sym
coat was made of plaster. A Portland
physician has Il patient who received an
injury to the spine because of a fall 12
years ago. 1t has been getting worse
ever since, and recently the spinal col
umn began to twist out of place. 1t was
deemed necessary to incase the mans
body in plaster jacket, consisting of
strips of fine gauze linen soaked in plaS-
ter of paris and then wrapped around
the body from tho hips to the armpits.
When this hardens, it becomes a verita-
BILE coat of mail and obviates the neceS-
sity of the support of the backbone al
most as does the shell in the case of
lobster or crab. The distension of the
abdomen after eating is provided for by
placing layer of cotton batting over it
while the plaster jacket is applied, and
then removing it by means of string
attached for the purpose.
In the present instance the doctor
placed layer of cotton batting about
two inches in thickness, leaving of course
moved. He left the patient, but was
called soon after. The man was in great
agony. He had eaten his dinner, a slight
repast, but as soon as the food began to
digest the abdomen began to distcnd, and
the space proved entirely too small. The
plaster jacket was so tight that its re-
moval was only accomplished with the
greatest difficulty Boston Transcript.

An Aged but s,>illrul skater.

a curious thing happened the other
day y gentleman called to thank a re-
porter for writing an article on skating
on the park lake. 1t was surprise be-
cause callers ordinarily come to kick"
and not to praise. This was an old gen
tlcman of more than threescore and ten,
but as active and hearty as most men of
middle age. For one-half century he
has been skater. After his early youth
he laid aside his skates, he thought
forever As years passed on his son be
came youth with desire to skim the
frozen pond His father took down
again his skates, and not only instructed
his boy, but kept on skating for years
himself
Again he laid his steelclad shoes away
Then came his grandchildren, and once
more he was on the ice. There he is yet,
as enthusiastic rs ever and almost as ex-
pert. As he passes in graceful glides he
leaves behind him the smiles and beni-
sons of all. He carries with him a
sturdy, lovely old age on the limbs of
ruddy youth. Irving knickerbocker
was and is Il famous skater, and long
may he live to be so.-Albany Argus.

WE sIzAI.1. AMEN.

1t seems to be pretty certain that we
shall annex Hawaii. y majority of the
senators favor annexation. and the Pres
ident is already committed to complete
control of the islands. We assume a
debt of over S3 900, 900 and it is con-
ceded that a cabIr must at once be laid
between San Francisco aud the Islands,
to cost about So 900, ,OOo-all this as a
starter merely. An outlay of Sc 600, 900
for "foothold in the Pacific" which we
had before; for "grcat strategic point y
which we have no business with unless
we are going to become one of "the
great powers and do Il lot OF fighting at
the first drop OF the hat-a disgraceful
$6,OOO,OOO, we say, is a big price to pay
for half dozen fly-specks on the map and
lot of foreigners, some of whom are so
obnoxious that we declare in the treaty
that they must not be allowed to come
to this country at all.
But the money we pay out is not the
worst of the matter. Having got Ha-
wai. 1T follows that there must be other
conquests which IRE necessary to the
complete enjoyment of the Islands. The
first of these is the Nicaragua canal.
The talk in the Senate now is that to
properly protect Hawaii we must have
complete control of the canal and that
the government must build it, put a fort
at each end-a matter of million or
two or three-and have it patrolled with
war ships, with also the right to lard
troops in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and
parade them back and forth from one
end of the canal to the other. At the
rate the administration is proceeding ii
will be only n day or TWO before we shal
intimate to England that the Bermudas
are the key Tor the key-hole) to the At
lantic and that really we shall be Obliged
to ask Queen Vic. to give them up, put
ting her with Lilly-wa wk-a-loney or
our modest pension list therefor. Cube
next, and SO on.
The Hawaiian matter has been pre-
sented to us rear end foremost. The Is
lands have been held up to us prize
when, in fact, they are kind of ncces
sary nuisance to all the world. Being
nearest we can take care of them for les:
money yearly than can any other ma
ton, and we should be willing to dc
that, guaranteeing to the ships of all ma
tions a temporary resting place in tn
long voyage across the ocean; but TIL
expense of carrying out that guarantee
should be borne by all the great powers
in proportion as their mariner use tn
Islands. This view of the ma ter eX
plains the complacency with wi \ En-
gland sees us take up this burden. Sh
knows that in times Of peace we will 10
refuse her the use of the coalng station
already granted to her, and she ais
knows that if the Islands become nee
cssary to her at any moment she vii
take them from us without so much as
word of thanks for our care Of them dur
ing the interim.

Rut WIN They Pun Again ?

From the Rochester Post-Express.
The choice of Mr.. Gresham wins praise
from men without party associations;
it strengthens the claim for the support
of the Populists in Congress; it gets a
dangerous Presidential possibility out
of the way; 1t secures strong advocate
of a third term, and if it makes old
fashioned Democrats little restive, that
is no great matter, for they will stand

Senators whether they will vote to con-
firm Gresham. Senator Vance an
swered:

will be confirmed. AS to whethe | will
cast nv vote for him. that is Il matter
which is not yet determined"
THAT is very sensible action OF
President-elect Cleveland in renting a
residence near the White House where
he can have a home into which business
cannot follow him unless he is so minded.
He will live the longer for it. and, we
verify believe, serve the people better. A

Ground Hog Day."

Thursday, the End inst, was
ground hog day." when, it is sup
posed, this traditional animal comes
from his hole to inspect the weather
and if his shadow is perceptable he
returns to his den and remains six
weeks. The representation origi-
mated from an old superstition that
enlisted in ancient times, that if
you saw your shadow on Candle
mas day that winter would last six
weeks more. Candlemas day comes
on February End, and is a festival
celebration in honor of the purifi-
cation of the Virgin Mary, and was
SO called from the number of lights
used on the occasion. The ground
hog, so goes tradition, generally
made his appearance on this day
IT 1t was bright, and then returned
to his hole to spend the usually
clustering and severe weather of
February and the first part of
March, making his appearance
again as soon as the weather per-
mitted. In this way, it is probable,
that this innocent little porker,
came to have his identity mix-d
with this religious celebration. &C.,
