MUSIC TO BANIsH INSOMNIA.
A London Physicians Ingenious Plan for
Banishing Midnight Torture.

A London Physicians Ingenious Plan for
BaHishing Midnight Torture.
Music as curative agent has been
known and valued since the earliest
ages, and the recently established
guild of St. Cecilia, In London, whose
professed object is to apply the sooth-
ing influence of melody to patients IN
hospitals and elsewhere, is only carry
ing out the prescriptions of physicians
who hourished two thousand years
ago The Athenian doctors "banished
fever by song" Thales found music
most efficacious in tae plague, and Au-
lus Gellius even went 80 far as to main
tain that it produced a beneficial effect
In cases of bites and stings. In their
work on Psychological Medicine" Drs.
Bucknill and luke remark that music
is the first recorded remedy employed
for the relief of madness. A novel,
and possibly a useful, suggestion in
the same direction is mentioned by
DR. j. g. Biackman In the latest num-
Der of the London Medical Magazine.
1t is that music box, worked by an
electric motor, might be advantageous
ly employed Ia cases of insomnia
Some care, no doubt, would have to be
exercised to see that the mechanism
worked properly before 1t was started,
as nothing would be more likely to
drive sleep permanently away than a
musical box out OF tune or liable to I'M
accountable and abnormal spurts Of
energy It would also be trying to a
nervous patient in the Silly night II

ones bedroom might be soothed and
induced to surrender his booty by the
unexpected strains of Home, Sweet
Home, but it is also possible that he
might not. Cne or two interesting in
stances are recorded in the article of
the benefit which has resulted in hos
pitfalls from the musical treatment, and
the sleepless soul might do worse than
try the prescription contained in 1t.

AN Apparently Abandoned Boat which
Surprised a CHILEAN Grew.


An Apparently Abandoned Boat which
Surprised Gillian Grew.
Toward the close of the recent war
between Chill and Peru, the Peruvians
found themselves quite shut in from
the outside world by the Gillian block
aiding fleet that lay off the harbor of
Callao With two exceptions, the
Peruvian navy had all been captured
or destroyed by the enemy, and these
two remaining ships, vessels of low
speed and little power, were moored
behind the breakwater, absolutely
useless for purposes of war. With all
their power of opposing the enemy
gone, the Peruvians turned their at
tention toward destroying some of the
hostile ships that lay few miles off,
a constant menace to the oity of Callao.
Frequent futile attempts were made
to blow up the CHILEAN cruisers with
torpedoes, but the Chilians were too
alert, and succeeded in avoiding or de-
stroying the deadly missiles. One fore
noon, says Harper's Young People, the
picket vessel of the CHILEAN feet, q
small steam gunboat, was cruising in
shore to take near look at the town
and Notifications. While steaming
slowly along boat was discovered
drifting down with the current. A
near inspection proved it to be a fine
new whaleboat, with oars and sails
and complete outfit. The commander
of the Gillian steamed close up to the
boat and ordered tackles rugged for
hoisting the prize on board. The
tackles were hooked, and the men
walked away to the pipe of the boat
SWANS whistle Suddenly, as the
boat left the water, terrific explosion
took place, tearing the boat to atoms
and crushing in the gunboat's side at
the water line, so that she filed and
sank, leaving her startled crew strug
Cling in the water Most of them
were rescued by boats from the
foreign men-of-war lying near, but
some were never seen again. The boat
was cunningly-devised weapon, hav>
ing double bottom filed with pow
erful explosive, with fuse and deton-
ator connected to the bolts to which
the tackles hooked. When the strain
came on the bolts, as the boat rose
from the water, the fuse was ignited
and the explosion followed.

hLr. Platt Takes Advantage Of a Conoes-
sion to Give Room for S!lyerite to
Talk.
uuited Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-In the
Senate, to-day, after the routine morn.
ing business, there was a conflict be.
tween Mr. Voorhees,, D., Qnd.,) and Mr..
Platt, r., Comm as to the right to the
floor. s--
Mr.. Voorhees, desired to call up the
Repeal bill, while Mr.. Plat wished to
make statement as to the cloture rule
which he had given notice of yesterday.
He intimated that the Indiana Senator
might be little kinder in his treatment
of other Senators.
Mr.. Voorhees, said that he would have
yielded if Mr.. Plat had asked him, and
that now he would yield without being
asked.
Mr.. Plat was thus given the oppor-
tunity of stating that as the Senator
from Mississippi, (Mr. George desired
to address the Senate early to-day, he
(Mr. Platt) would not to-day introduce
the resolution Of which he had given
notice yesterday, but would do so at
some future time.
Mr. George then began his speech,
saying that as he happened to differ
from the Democratic administration on
the bill, and as he believed that his con-
stituents concurred with him, he thought
it well to state his views with some pre-
cision. The passage of the bill by the
Senate, he thought, would be leap in
the dark, as likely to increase as to
diminish the financial troubles.

United Press Dispat,h by Special Wires
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-In the House,
to-day, Immediately after the approval
of the journal, the fight over the Federal
Elections bill was resumed.
Mr.. Burrows moved to dispense with
the call of committees for reports. Pend
ing this, Mr.. Catchings, D., (Miss.), pre-
sented resolution from the committee
on rules, but before it was read Mr..
Burrows raised the point that the reso.
luton was not in order.
The Speaker oyerruled the point Of
order and then the House was thrown
into great confusion. Mr.. Reed, R.,
Mel, made one of his characteristic
witty speeches, in which he denounced
the Speakers decision. If the majority
desired to- stand by that decision, Of
course it could do so; but If Herod was
to be out-heroded, Herod wanted to
witness the transaction. Loud laugh

Mr.. Reed and the Speaker had some
very bitter passages, and then Mr.. Bur
rows appealed from the decision and
Mr.. Fitch, D., IN. ", moved to lay the
appeal on the table.

Protest Against Taxing Raw Materials
and One Against Reducing the Duty or

Protest Against Taxing Raw Materials
and One Against Reducing the Duty on
Lead Ores.
United Press DsDstch pv snaslal wlrsa
WAsHIxeToN, Sept. 20.-To-day, tine
last days hearing given by the ways
and means committee, found repre-
sentatiyes of the paint and color, corset,
thread, carpets and lead industries be-
fore the committee.
]. S. Page, representing Devoe, Ray
nolds & Company of New York and
the color makers of the United States,
spoke first.
He said that the present tariff dis
eliminated against them, as the raw
materials which entered into the com
pound articles were taxed beyond the
finished products. To this disadvantage
must be added the difference in the cost
of labor here and abroad. He asked
taat in the preparation of the new bill
the duty on the compound article be so
adjusted that the materials of which it
was made would not receive greater
protection.
L. E. Holden, proprietor of the Cleve-
land, O., Plain Dealer, argued in oppo-
sition to any reduction in the present
duties on lead ores. Free lead ores, he
said, would destroy the industry in this
country and deprive the thousands of
employment.
