ROBERT FITTON.

The irrepressible Robert Fitton was in
BrattleborO once more Tuesday afternoon
to appear before Judge Wheeler on his pc
tition for writ of habeas corpus TO re-
lease him from state prison. FittOn has
Just completed sentence of two years for
Jail breaking and has entered upon sem
tence of 10 years for perjury in the old in
surance cases The circumstances which
led up TO the present case are familiar.
Fitton was eXtradited from New York
state in 1891, when he began similar ha-
beas corpus proceedings. His claim is that
while he was still constructively in the
custody of the United States officers, pend
ing the determination of his appeal to the
United states supreme court from the de-
cision of the circuit court granting him
one day in which TO leave the state, he was
tried by the state courts on the old indict-
ment for perjury, under which he was con-
vlcted and sent to prison. His further
claim is that the state had no right to try
him until his case had been decided by the
United States court, and he had then been
given his one day in which to leave the
state. The mandate from the United
States supreme court was not sent back to
the circuit court until after his trial on this
old charge of perjury. The state claimed
that the decision released him from United
States custody and the mandate was mere
ly matter of form.
Fitton came to Brattleboro handcuffed
to prison keeper, and in charge of War
den Cakes, arriving at 2:20 and returning
at ) 80
Speaker Stickney of Ludlow, who was
states attorney of Windsor county when
Fitton was tried and convicted, appeared
for the state, and Fitton was his own coun-
sci. He was Enthusiastically cratic and
dramatic, and devoted himself principally
to "wading in to Mr.. Stickney.
Judge Wheeler reserved his decision.
The court adjourned until next Tuesday.

Picking Flaws in Woman.

Let us, my friends, you of my own sex
who may read these words, try and pick
all the flaws we choose in woman, and
what good does it do? writes Edward w.
Box in Sat Home with the Editor" in
the February Ladies' Home Journal. We
always come back to her, and glad we are
of the privilege, too Nervous? But yet
how calm and steady when the right time
comes. Illogical? But yet how certain
the intuition, how unerring the instinct
Without judgement? But yet how safe
her counsel, how sure her guidance Never
leader? But what helper Timid ?
But yet what sweetheart Unsystematic2
But yet with what neat precision is mark
ed the training of her children /! Dressy
But yet how she can wear her gowns
Never ready? Rarely for the theatre, but
yet how ever ready with her sweet womanly
sympathy in time of trouble Fond of
pretty things? But yet how they become
her person, her room, her house! Expen-
sive2 Well, bless her, yes, but the cheap
est article for the money ever created !
And long may we love-her to brighten our
homes, make wise our children, make men
better than they are, and life the better
worth the living And we'll love her, too,
for the enemies she has made.

Water an An@sthetic.

The anesthetic effects of cold water is
much discussed at the Austrian capital.
DR.. X. L. Schieich has discovered that ab
solute local immunity from pain, even dur
ing protracted operations, can be obtained
without resorting to general narcosis of the
patient, so that sufferer may remain per-
fectly conscious during the amputation of
his hand or foot without undergoing the
tortures SO often inflicted on the battlefield
or exposing himself to the danger of syn
cope, ever present in the operating-roor.
ltappears that subcutaneous injections of
a solution of sugar or salt, nay, even of
simple cold distilled water, will produce
exactly the same local anasthetic objects as
cocaine. This discovery has already borne
the tests of numerous experiments, and will
now be tried in Vienna. The explanation
OF the phenomenon is simple: Local in
sensibility to pain is caused in the case of
cocaine by purely chemical changes, while
cold water acts mechanically by means of
high pressure and low temperature. IN
der the influence of the high pressure and
sudden lowering of temperature the blood
and lymph are drisen from the region op-
Grated upon to places where the pressure is
less. The tissue is thus deprived of its
supply of blood and temporary paralysis of
the nerves result. One of the first medi-
cal authorities afhrms that the Importance
Of this discovery is all the more undoubted,
seeing that if, in a given case, cold water
alone should fail to produce the needful
degree of insensibity, weak and absolutely
harmless solution of cocaine would prove
certainly eficacious.
