THE DECLINE OF ERUPTION.

Severe Shock to a Waiter Who Reveres
intellectual Attachments.
ssErudition is on a Decline" said
Educated John, - the waiter in a Park
place restaurant, to a New York Trib-
une man. Yes, sir, there was time
not far remote when education was
more general, and well do remember
the day when your humble seryitor
purveyed viands to whole tablefuls of
individuals of the most profound erudi-
ton. Certainly, sir, | can recommend
that tripe to be like Caesar s wife, above
suspicion. California claret? Well; it
is not the wine which was poured from
the purple rim of the wine skin in the
days of old Maecenas, nor does it COM
pare with the rare old Massic with
which Horace iibated the muses.. Bur
gundy and Chablis have l none, but
such as / have l give unto thee. Be
sides, my mercantile friend, California
wine is entirely suitable to wash down
this fifty~cent table d'hote which it is
my proud privilege to serve to gen.
tle4nan of such rare and varied erudi-
ton as yourself.
ssBut / digress. I was about to re-
late a little incident illustrating the
decline of intellectually in Park place.
You remember that handsome man
with the black mustache who was ac-
tcustomed to dine here every evening
in company with a fat, rosy-faced man.
1 know not who his companion was,
although like the departed Brummel j
was often prompted to inquire: Who
lis your fat friend9' Well, there was a
refined intellectually in that gentle
mans countenance, and was often
minded to address him upon subjects
which are nearer akin to the ideal than
are turtle soup and fish for two. One
evening this same gentleman came
here without his fat friend. Seeing
nv opportunity approached him
deferentially and said: Good evening,
sir. All, see that Lucullus dimes with
Lucullus this evening Imagine my
chagrin and embarrassment, sir, when
the man failed to catch the point OF an
allusion SO classical Thinking that
perhaps my utterance had been indls-
tinct, repeated my remark The re-
suit was most discouraging. The man
gazed at me vacantly and said: And
who in the mischief was Lucnllus?
Hustle up the chicken SOUP
sIt was a most bitter disappoint-
ment. sir. / reeled and staggered to
the speaking tube and called chicken
in de bowl for one,' and then sank
fainting and exhausted on chair.
Thank you, sir, this will enable me to
purchase another Elzevir."

pKELEss COAL COMBUSTION.

Trace Of smudge left By an Invention
~ Patented in Berlin.
The problem of the smoReless COM
Istion of coal is said to have been
lged by an inven zion which has just
'en patented in Berlin and which is
as described by a German correspon-
1T ofua London newspaper: At the
mace door there is q movable pear
aped apparatus, consisting princi-
lay of fire chamber lined with fire
dck. One aperture of this hollow
- opens in the direction of the axis
the boiler into the mouth of the
thento employed furnace, from which
IN fire CRATES, fire bridges, ETC., have
81 removed.
The opposition aperture of the hol-
Wpear is intended to admit "a cur
~ of air. Bymeans of an ingenious
pmatic continuance, coal dust, sup
zN through a funnel placed above
{ Current of air, is continually con-
Xed Sntoithe current of air and thence
80 the fire chamber, where it is i'm
ediaSely brought into combustion by
eanss of q small fire which is placed
ere When this has once taken
nee the coal dust conveyed by the
|yrent9 ofair continues to burn in cSse
|Kular, intense flame.
1he current of air which brings the
~ dust into the apparatus is regu-
teu SO as merely TO convey the dust
'Hher, whereas the further supply of
necessary for combustion is sent
M the zone of combustion at right
4les and in radiating jets.
~ this arrangement the coal dust
q the air il the zone of combustion
intimately and thoroughly mixed,
ne the speed of the current which
kpduces the coal dust is diminished.
lli thus be seen that the combus-
A OF the coal which this method
Quces is extremely thorough, for
ga particle of fuel floats in the air
IS brought into contact with the
gen necessary for its combustion,
nat it is totally consumed the mo-
2 1t enters the sphere of combus-
The proof of its being totally
|umed is seen in the fact that not
trace Of smoke is perceptible.

Origin OF spoons.

Two natural objects seem to have
furnished the model for the spoon to
primitive man, the river or sea shell
and the leaf Of plants. In southern
China shell spoons are still used that
are closely reproduced in the familiar
porcelain spoon of that country. while
metal spoons are found in India on
which are reproduced even the veins
Of the leaves from which they were
copied.

A Remedy That Has Never Failed
In Kidney and Urinary Diseas

s&hA
That all kidney and urinary disease
yield to the curative power of DR.. David
Kennedy's Fayorite Remedy has again
been proven.
Probably q more remarkable recovery
than that of Mr.. Joseph Beach of High
Falls, Ulster Co, N. Y, was never re.
corded.
Mr.. Beach suffered for years with stone
in the kidney. Seven physicians were en-
ployed, to whom Mr.. Beach paid hundreds
of dollars for treatment, with only tempo
rsry relief.
In speaking of this wonderful cure to a
reporter, Mr.. Beach said " No words can
express the agony / endured AT the CO.
licitstion of friends / tried DIR. David
Kennedy's Fsvorite Remedy I noted
marked Improvement while using the FIRST
bottle, and very soon after voided q good
sized stone. am now in perfect health,
aud attribute 1t entirely to the use of DIR.
Kepnsdy's Fsvorite Remedy"
The early stages of these dangerous dis
orders are too often neglected OpIstss
and narcotics may dull the pain, but they
have no sffect as a remedy. DR.. Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy goes to the source
of the trouble IL dissolves the excess of
uric acid in ths blood and sxpels whatever
sandy particles may have been formed.
The slight pain in the back is natures
warning of kidney trouble. A few doses
of Fsvorite Remedy will correct this and
ward off painful sickness. All druggists
sell Favorite Remedy.

The Principal Entrance TO the City
Hall is Heavily Draped in Crepe
Hundreds Looked on the Vacant
Chair of the Mayor and Turned
Away With Tear Dimmed Eyes
Prendergrast Indicted-Mfss How
ard is Dangerously Hi.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Sombre evidences of
grief abound in the city hall tonight. The
principal entrance is heavily draped in
black. So are many of the doors leading
into the departments, while on the desk of
most of the officials rest photographs of the
late mayor with bit of crepe or black rib
bon attached to the frames.
The chair and the desk in the private
Office that the mayor had occupied are buried
in folds of crepe. Or the top of the desk
rests plaster bust of the dead man. On
the other side are great punches of white
chrysanthemums. Before the chair rests
the mayors favorite portrait of himself,
life-sized and lifelke sent to the Office from
the residence.
Hundreds of municipal attaches and
other friends and acquaintances were per-
| mitted to-day to lcok upon the vacant
chair, and there were few that did not
turn away with tesr-bedimmed eyes, while
| many sobbed.
kilograms of sympathy continue to pour
| in on the bereaved family.
Patrick Eugene Prendergast's indictment
followed quickly after his crime. Inspeo-
tor Shea appeared before the grand jury
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and
the Indictment was voted Immediately
sfterwsrd.
| A deputation of the dead mayors per.
sonal friends called on A. 8. Trude last
evening and asked him to take charge OF
the prosecution of the murderer and to see
that he Is promptly brought to trial. Nc
indecent haste will be observed, but the
case will not be suffered to drag.
| Miss Annie Howard, who on November
| IA was to become the bride of Mayor Hsr
rison, Is dangerously Ill, and there are
great fears that she will never quite re-
cover from the shock she has sustained.
This afternoon her brothers Frank ano
Harry T. Howard arrived from New Or
leans and proceeded at once to the lat
mayors residence. They were greatly az
itated and 1t was announced that they woulc
take their sister home to Biloxi as soon a
she ia able to be moved.

sQUIREs' COMPROMISE ON SILVER
One That Is Looked Upon as "A Possibility
by Many Senators.

One That Is Looked Upon Possibility
by Many Senators.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l0.-SqIires of Wash
iugton has evolved a compromise on the
silver question that seems to embrace
everything demanded by the different
sides of the controversy. 1t apparent
lY, therefore, meets with more approval
from leading senators than anything that
has yet been suggested in this line; and
it is understood that Senators Teller, AL
lison, Sherman and others have said that
is is the best compromise that has been
suggested. 1t provides for the coinage of
silver deposited by the owner thereof, the
product of United States mints or re-
fineries-the owner to receive coin to the
amount of the commercial value Of the
bullion on the day of deposit. The differ
ence between such commercial value of
the bullion on the day of deposit and the
coin value is to be retained by the treasury
as seigniorage.
The amount deposited for coinage is not
to exceed 81 900, coo per month. The num-
Der of standard silver dollars coined under
this provision is not to exceed 800, 600, 900.
They are to be fun legal tender No Ger.
tificates are to be issued TO represent these
silver dollars. The purchasing clause OF
the Sherman act is to be repealed. FoI
the present bonds are to be issued To
the extent of S2O0000,0O0 redeemable
after five years, and the proceeds are TO be
used for the redemption of United States
notes. National banks are to be entitled
to circulation to the par value of the bonds
deposited by them.

ILLlNOIS-lOWA BOUNDARY.
A Matter That Involves the Tax on u
Number of Bridges.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Il.-Attorney General
Moloney, of Illinois, presented to the su-
preme court his petition for leave to file a
motion to vacate the order made April 10,
1898, confirming the report of the commits
sioners fixing the boundary line between
the states of Illinois and Iowa where the
Hannibal blidge crosses the Mississippi
river. There are nine of these bridges over
the river within the co-terminus limits of
the two states, and for the purposes of
taxation it is desirable to have the location
of the boundary fixed at these points.
The supreme court decree referred the
fixing of the boundary to a commission,
which the Illinois petition claims fixed
the boundary half way between the oppo-
site banks of the river instead of in the
middle of the navigable channel as the
courts decree provided shou Id be done
New commissioners are asked, or refer
ence to masters in chancery. The mat
ter went over.
