USE DANA'S SARSAPARLILA, ITS
"THE KIND THAT CURES"

Here's something for the mathematl-
cal sharps to puzzle their brains over. A
group of gentlemen were lately gathered
about the desk OF Washington hotel en-
gagged in earnest endeavor to figure out a
mathematical problem brought over by a
prominent member of the New York bar,
who stands to lose 800 on q wager If his
own solution is wrong. Here it is: "a
column of troops twenty-five miles long is
ordered to point twenty miles dis
tant. A courier starts simultaneously
with the rear of the column and reaches
the head thereof. Returning, he meets
the rear of the column where the head or
iginally was. Both the troops and the
courier are to travel at a uniform rate OF
speed. How many miles does the courier
traverse 1t looks simple. The young
New Yorker said it was simple, and that
it didn't take a mathematical sharp to fig
ure that the courier journeyed an even fifty
miles. The man who made the bet with
him was Philadelphian, and he called in
Professor Thunder, teacher Of ..mathema-
tics, said to be the greatest expert in the
Quaker City. The Professor figured at it
awhile, aud said it was plain that the cour-
ier travelled over fifty miles, but just how
much more he wouldn't undertake to say
off hand. The man from Gotham was not
satisfied with Philadelphia professors con-
clusion, so on reaching Washington he
hunted up Professor George Hill, the clerk
TO the House irrigation committee, and an
expert in mathematics, who in turn, re-
ferred him to Professor Woodward, of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. His answer
was sent in and appeared at the bottom of
long sheet of algebric equations. 1t was
6O3 miles. And still the New Yorker is
not satisfied. Before giving up the 800
he is going to have the opinion of the Pro-
fessor of Mathematics of Columbia College.
1t will take no less an authority than that
to shake his belief in the correctness of his
own ciphering, which he admits was not
done with the help of quadratic equasions

Grewsome Amusement.

A few years ago while six murderers-
Giblin, Packenham, Carolin, Lewis, Nolan
and Carleton-occupied the condemned
cells at the New York Tombs they got up
a decidedly unique form of amusement to
while away the hours of a dull Sunday.
Giblin proposed that they try one of their
number by jury, and Carolin, who chopped
his unfortunate wife to death with a
hatchet, was singled out to be tried. Old
man Packenham, who killed his wife with
pair OF scissors, was made judge; Giblin
district-attorney, Carleton counsel for the
defense, and Lewis and Nolan the jury.
After the consent of Deputy Sheriff Cara
her was given the trial proceeded, every
part of the judicial program being minute
ly carried out, even to putting Carlton on
the stand to testify in his own behalf De-
spite the argument of Carleton that II
could only be manslaughter and not muir
der, the jury found him guilty without
quitting their seats.
The effect on Carolin, the deputy sheri fl
said, was painful and pitiful to witness.
He never raised his eyes while old man
Packenham sentenced him to die on the
Goth of August, 1889. From that day he
seemed to weaken and the authorities
were afraid he would break down com
pletely. Fathers Pendergast and Galenas,
with the sisters, who were daily in atten-
dance, tried to comic and rally him, but
without avail. The verdict of his fellows
| had almost killed him.
As Giblin had been commuted and Car
Teton was awaiting appeal, only Lewis
Packenham, Carolin and Nolan were tC

groceryman until that gentleman be-
comes frantic. All lovers of fun

sole guardians, SO appointed by the
Boys original boss, Mr.. George Peck,
of the Milwaukee Sun. If you want

A statement of Mr.. Newmann, a
member OF the ex-Queen's cabinet,
who has gone to Washington to repre-
sent her interests, places quite differ
ent face upon the cause OF rebellion
than was at first published. He states
that the new Constitution, promul.
gated by the Queen, did not disfran-
chise white residents on the islands;
1t simply required them to become
naturallzcd citizens, and this must be
regarded as very reasonable condi.
ton, for otherwise the foreigners might
control the policy of government,
without assuming its responsibilities.
The claim that this movement was
the forerunner Of confiscation of prop
erty OF foreigners and driving them
from the country, was untrue, the
the queens representative naively sug-
costing that, in these days, sm all gov.
ernments like theirs very seldom
treated first-class powers, like the Uni

manner.
Mr.. Newman declares that Queen

by her supporters; that she is willing
for our government to establish q
proctectorate over the Islands, pro.
vided it is done in a proper manner.
He thinks, therefore, that the action
OF Minister Stevens, in assuming a

was no disposition to interfere with
