Aldermanic "combines'' are by no
means rare. History records the con-
ception. progress and results OF one in
1884. together with the subsequent fate of
the combiners.
1t Is observable that these combina-
lions are rarely II ever made in the in
terest Of the city. They . have their
origin in a burglarious desire to break
into a good thing wherever one IL dis
covered. or supposed to be discovered.
from which the Aldermen are excluded.
The good thing Just now scented by
the Alderm8nic nose is the spending of
more than u million dollars a year on
asphalt pavement. The well-drilled. so
jerly" Aldermanic mind cannot conceive
how this annual outlay can be made
without that comfortable and comfort
ing %perquisite known as a "divvy" being
realized, and the Aldermen want to be
in So some six or eight OF them
combine" to block every resolution or
dering asphalt pavement to be laid. and
1t Is evident that they will continue to
do so until they are satisfied by "argu-
ments" OF the folly OF their conduct.
They have adopted the war cry:
And must the asphalt lie, and must the
asphalt lie?
Then half n dozen Aldermen will know
the reason WHY
As the Trinidad asphalt. according to
Mayor Giiroy's statement. Is laid In this
city more cheaply han In any other
city In the country. and as n security
fund OF 30 per cent OF the contract
price IL retained as a guarantee of good
work. this Aldermanic venture will prob
ably come to grief. Meanwhile the com
Diners will please bear in mind that the
people like asphalt roads wherever they
are available, and that they are impa-
tent Of any interruption In the desirable
work OF improving the clty's pavements.

WELL. WHY NoTi

The Senate yesterday adopted Senator
Hoar's resolution asking the President
TO send TO Congress II. In his opinion, not
Inconsistent with the public interests all
the instructions sent to our representa-
tives in Hawaii since March 4. 1881.
The Republicans all supported the reso-
luton. They meant II for mischief.
Senator Hin backed their hands and
spoke in favor OF the resolution. lie
meant 1t for justice and right. He was
entirely correct when ne maintained the
position that the American people ex-
pected to receive information on the
subject in the Presidents message. and
that 1t was proper that Congress should
obtain II for them in the manner pro-
posed.
1t Is seldom wise to withhold the facts
in any manner from the public. There
are. Of course. occasions when II would
be injudicious to let facts be known.
But In such cases the President with
holds them and gives his reasons, AZ he
will In this instance. provided he con
siders such n course expedient.
The only mistake Senator Hill made
was In designating the words ~ In his
opinion not inconsistent with. the public
interests" as unnecessary. They are
essential in all such cases, and Their
omission would have been unwise.

AS you have recommended oatmeal
porridge to our readers, o may like
to give them a recipe for mixing 1t.
This quantity will suffice for a soup
plateful. Put two breakfast cupfuls Of
water into a saucepan. When boiling
throw in some salt and add the oatmeal
little by little, stirring 1t all the while
with a wooden spoon. till you have made
1t thick enough. Then boil for twenty
minutes, stirring it sufficiently to pre-
vent burning. Allowance must be made
for thlckening while boiling. II the meal
is ground very fine 1t will not swell

She SHOT At PARIS DOCTOR.
SAYS She Was Hvpnotized BY q
Pupil Of Charcot.
Italian Troubles Grow worse-Gsn-
erai News by Cable.
iBy Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 7.-Dr. Tourette, a we'll
known pupil OF the late Dr. Charcot.
was shot while seated in his consulting
room yesterday evening.
DR.. Tourette was seated at his desk.
reading a book, at about s =. NJ. when
the door OF his consulting-room was
roiselessly opened. and a pretty young
woman, with very bright eyes and a
nervous manner entered and rapidly APP
preached the doctor. The latter, upon
hearing the rustic of the woman's dress
and the sound of her footsteps turned
his head and appears TO have sprung to
his feet and attempted TO escape from
the room.
The woman fired three shots at him
with a revolver before he could make
his exit. one bullet taking effect behind
Or. Tourette's right ear.
The shots attracted the doctors ser
want and other people TO the room. and
the woman was seized n disarmed.
W len placed in the hands OF the po-
lice the young prisoner at first refused to
give any account ~ herself, but later
on she said her name was Camper, and
excitedly declared that she VAS justi-
fed in shooting DR.. Tourette as he had
placed her and kept her continually
under his hypnotic influence. and hat
1t was utterly impossible for her to re-
gain possession of her own will unless
she killed the person to whose hypnotic
influence she was subjected.
She said she had formerly been an in.
mate of the Hospital de la Saltpetriere,
on the Boulevard de Hospital. a vast
establishment originally an arsenal
built by Louis NIL. which has beer
converted into an insane asylum fol
aged and insane women.
The woman said that DR.. Tourette had
attended her there, and 1t seems that the
doctor was in the habit of being at ths
hospital mentioned. when the late DR.
Charcot, the famous specialist in merry
Gus diseases, delivered his interesting
lecture at that establishment.
Whether DR., Tourette experimental
upon the woman during his study o.
%hypnotism or not. Is a mater which ha:
not yet been made clear. and thus hi.
interesting feature of the tragedy still
remains a mystery.
DR.. Tourette is not dangerously
wounded.
