Second Day of the international
Temperance Convention.

lenptArAnCG convention.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1s-Promptly at 9
o'clock the second days session of the
worlds congress of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was called
to order by Lady Henry Somerset, and
after prayer by Mrs. NJ. M. Love of
Australia, the audience united in sing
ing the we'll known hymn, ..Neayer
My God to Thee" By the time this
feature of the programme was reached
half dozen other congresses
were in session even to the roof
OF the art institute, bpt as if moved
by common impulse they suspended
business while the stirring strains of
the hymn echoed through the halls and
corridors. Fifteen minutes of Bible
reading by Mrs 81. w. Smith of Eng.
land was the next feature of the pro-
gramme, after which Mrs. J. z. Bar
ney spoke upon penal, charitable and
reformatory work, and Miss Agnes
Weston Of England devoted five min
utes to review Of what had been &C.
complished among the sailors.
At this point the congress resolved
itself into mass meeting in memoriam
of Mary Allen West, the renowned
American temperance missionary, who
died while on the evangelization tour
of Japan year ago. Appropriate
funeral music was rendered, and Mrs.
Chika Sahurai, the official delegate
from japan, paid touching, tribute to
the memory and life work of the late
miSsionary, Brief reports of the work
accomplished through the press,
through Sunday schools and through
channels Of scientific temperance were
presented by the superintendents of
these departments, and after the usual
bible reading and the season of noon
tide prayer the congress took brief
recess.
Other Congresses.
Other congresses in session We're the
congress of fish and fisheries, agricul-
ture, veterinary and good roads. The

His Term Had Expired.

Aberdeen News: The News is not
qualified to speak authoritatively, but
it surmises that Col. Sheafe's removal
from command of the state militia. if he
was removed, was because he persisted
in acting the part of bull in china
shop and the dog in the manger. Inany
event the state militia will be as we'll
off without Col. Sheafe as with him.

Charlie Mccoy is said to be down at
Washington figuring on becoming
Frank Pettigrew's successor. Charlie
is probably misrepresented again, but
we desire to call his attention and that
of all other aspirants for honors to the
fact that the best figuring to be done in
that connection must be done right here
at home, in figuring into the confidence
of the people who have the votes to
elect the representatives who will have
the choosing of the next senator. Cam
paigus from Washington are at too long
range.

Texas Forest Fires.

Houston. Tex, Oct. ls-Reports
from East Texas say that so miles of
pine timber reaching from Montgom-
cry county toward the Sabine river, is
a mass OF flames. The whole country
is dry, and unless rain falls it is feared
the loss TO the yellow pine section of
Texas will run into the millions Sew
eral fine milling plants and towns are
in the path Of the fire. The wind is
from the northwest, but is not strong
enough to stop the flames spreading.

MARSHAL nI'NIAHoN.
The Most Famed of French Generals
Passes Away at Paris.

The Most Famed of French Generals
Passes Away at Paris.
PARIS, Oct. lS.-Marshal Mcmahon
died at 10 o'clock a. IN.
Ii the relatives of Marshal Mcmahon
will agree to it the state will conduct
the funeral, which will be public one.
The remains will be inferred in the
Hotel des Invalides.
Marshal McMahon was descended
from an Irish family which took refuge
in France after the fall of the Stuarts,
entered in 1895 the military school of
st. Cyr, served in Algeria and was
present at the seige of Antwerp. He,
received command of a regiment in
1s45 and became brigadier general in
ls4S, during his campaigns in Africa
In 1859 he was recalled in order to
assume command of a division in the
Crimean war, where he distinguished
himself in the storming of Mala-
kotf in such manner that he was
created senator. In 1853 he made him.
self famous in the campaign against
Austria, preventing the defeat of Napo-
leon and winning the brilliant victory
OF Magenta. For this he was created
marshal on the battlefield by Napoleon,
and given the title of Duke of Magenta.
In 1864 he became governor general of
Algeria. AT the beginning of the war
against Germany in 1870 the marshal
received command of the first corps.
In spite of his brilliant valor he was
defeated at Wsissenburg by Crown
Prince Frederick and later at Worth,
where his army was routed. The rem
nants he gathered at Chalons, which he
held until after the defeat of Napoleon
at Metz. With the emperor's forces he
was driven by the Germans toward
Brussels, and at Sedan the French
army was defeated and taken prisoners.
After the conclusion of peace he was
intrusted by President Theirs with the
reorganization and command of the
army. Having put down the revolu-
ton of 1871, he was elected president in
1873. His government was a strong
one, aiming at the rebuilding of French
power. He resigned in 1879, and has
since lived in retire ment.

Miners Still-Ont

BRUSSELS. Oct. lS.-It was thought
that the strike of the coal miners in the
Charleroi district was at an end, but it
now appears that the Knights of Labor
have succeeded in reviving the trouble.
The knights of Labor have been con-
Quoting an agitation among the men,
and thousands of them refused to 20 TO
work. The movement OF the knights
OF Labor has no effect i'll the other
mining districts where the official labor
party is paramount. The latter is try
ing by every means in it's power to
overcome the influence CT the knights
of Labor.

The wonderful stimulus to railroad
travel which has been caused by cent-a-
mile rates to Chicago ought to con-
vince the railroad managers that the
press and the people who clamored for
reduced rates from the time the World IS
Fair opened knew what they were talk
ing about. AS usual insatiate greed
overreached itself and the time is too
short for the railroads To fully recoup
themselves for the, results of their
short.sighted policy.

Hysteria in Children.

The cause of hysteria in children involves
in most cases a history of a nervous dispo-
sition in the parents, this being frequently
added to by facilitating diseases and bad
feeding, anemia and unfavorable moral
surroundings. 1t may take the form of
periodical ortbursts Of peculiar mental
disturbance or may produce local symp-
toms. Most commonly vague pains are
complained of in various parts of the
body, particularly in the joints, and both
sides of the body are affected in the great
majority of cases. Tremors are in some
instances the first thing complained of, es-
pecially where traumatic influences have
been ut work. Spasms may occur in the
muscles of speech and respiration, the
speech becoming stammering or confused,
or the patient be perfectly dumb for long
err or shorter period. The hysterical at
tacks are generally characterized by
screaming, crying and laughing, accom-
panied by corvulsive movements of the OK
tremities and sometimes slight loss of
consciousness. The treatment which has
proved most effectual is isolation dashing
cold water over the child, the faradic cur
rent and judicious verbal correction.

Coffee as a Disinfectant.

The use of coffee as disinfectant is gen
orally known, but it is doubtful if the ma
jority of people are aware of its true value
in this direction. They probably know that
it is handy and harmless, but besides these
qualities it is really one of the most pow
erful and effective agents known, as has
been shown by repeated experiments.
In one case quantity of meat was placed
in u close room and allowed to decompose.
A chatting dish was then introduced and
500 grams of coffee were thrown on the
fire. In few minutes the room had been
disinfected. In another room the fumes of
sulphureted hydrogen and ammonia were
developed and the smell-which no words
can express-was destroyed in half min
ute by the use of 80 grams of coffee.
AS proof that the noxious smells are
really decomposed and not merely over
powered by the fumes of coffee, it is stated
that the first vapors of the coffee are not
smelled at all and are therefore chemically
absorbed, while the other smells gradually
diminish as the fumigation continues.
The merest pinch" of coffee is usually
sufficient to cleanse sicllroom even in
aggravated cases. The best way to en-
ploy it is to freshly pound the coffee into
mortar, if no mill is at hand, and sprinkle
it on a red-hot surface

The King and the Diplomat.

OF King Monghut of Siam, father of the
present ruler, Mrs. Leonowens tells the fol-
lowing amusing story: lone night little
after Il o'clock, as he was on the point of
going to bed like any plain citizen of regu-
lar habits his majesty fell to thinking
how most accurately to render into Eng
fish the troublesome Siamese word phi
which admits of variety of interpreta-
tons. After puzzling over it for more
than an hour, getting himself possessed
with the word as with the devil it stands
for and all to no purpose, he ordered one of
his lesser state barges to be manned and
dispatched with all speed for the British
consul.
THAT functionary, inspired with lively
alarm by so startling summons, dressed
himself with unceremonious CELEBRITY and
hurried to the palace, conjecturing on the
way all imaginable possibilities of politics
and diplomacy, revolution or invasion. To
his veXation he found the king engaged
with Siamese-Englsh vocabulary and
mentally divided between deuce and
devil in the choice of an equivalent. His
preposterous majesty gravely laid the case
before the consul, who, though inwardly
chatting at what he termed the 'confounded
coolness' of the situation, had no choice
but to decide with grace and go back to
bed with philosophy. "-BoSton Post.

A Remarkable Dam.

One of the most remarkable dams in the
world for height and construction is that
by which the Vyrnwy river (northern
Wales is enabled to supply water to the
city of Liverpool, some 20 miles distant
In building this dam II great trench was
at first eXcavated across the valley for a
length of 100 feet, a width of 120 and a
maximum depth of 60. The masonry was
started in this trench. 1t consists of inn
mense irregular blocks of slate wedged to-
gether and thoroughly bedded in Portland
cement mortar, the faces being formed OF
cut stone blocks fitted together with great
care, the greatest height of the dam being
l6l feet.
It's most remarkable feature is the lack
of any channel to carry off floods, the sur
plus of the lake flowing down the front of
the dam, which is curved to permit as free
a descent as possible and prevent the forma
ton of eddes at the bottom. The lake
formed by this main dam covers an area
AZ miles long, from one-quarter to five
eighths of a mile wide, and holds largely
over 100000 gallons.
The aqueduct leading from the intake
tower to the distributing reservoir, about
two miles from the city, is IS miles long
and consists principally of large cast iron
pipe line from 80 to ~ inches in diameter
There are number of reservoirs and tanks
along the line, and at one place is a great
filtering plant-LORdon Times.

The Tenth Wave.

There is legend as old, if not much old
er, than the Christian religion, that ocean
waves break in regular series and that the
tenth is always the most tremendous and
consequently the one to be dreaded. The
Roman poet Ovid, who was in the midst of
his literary work at the time Christ was
crucifed, has this to say of the tenth wave:
The wave of all most dangerous near the shore,
Behind the ninth it rolls the eleventh before.
Sir Thomas Browne (see "Pseudoxia Epi-
demica," book Z, chapter ~ says; THAT
fluctus decumanus, or the tenth wave, is
greater or more dangerous than any other
we deny, and hereby we contradict all an
tiquity. The notion is evidently false, nor
can the theory be proved to be true by any
amount of observation"
Forbes C'Oriental Memoirs, in describ-
ing the effects of the great monsoon, seems
to think that it is the ninth wave that is
the most violent, Every ninth wave is
more tremendous than the others and
seems to threaten to overwhelm the settle
ment of Aniengo,"
DIR, Henderson in his Iceland" adyo-
Gates the idea that waves come in series Of
three-lirst six of smaller size and then
three Of immense proportions.
