An Animal Flower.


The inhabitants of st. Lucia have
lately discovered n most wonderful
plant. 1t grows in a cavern, in an i'm,
mcnsc basin of brackish water that ha.
overlooked from the sea. The bottom
basin is covered with pebbles and each
pebble VITA from one to five of these
plants, which. for want of n better
name, are termed animal flowers.
These curious creatures, which are
in all shades and color, remind one of
II beautiful tlowcr-bed. To the sight
they are perfect flowers, but on the
approach of a hand or Il stick they re-
tire out OF sight.
Close examination shows that the
middle of the ilower-likc disc is pro-
vided with four tilumcnts which move
round the petals with a brisk, spon.
taneous motion. Each of these fila
ments is provided with pinccrs for re-
ceiving prey. They live upon ,iir
spawn of fish and marine insects.
Whenever the pincers on the lilamenls
make n catch the petals Immediately

All His Buttons Gone.

Maj. William A. Wallace is full of
anecdotes of the celebrations and dedi-
cations at Gettysburg. When the
"blue and gray" reunion was held there
buttons were at n premium. After
the first day u couldn't tell which

They exchanged buttons, badges. and
in some instances whole uniforms. So
IL was that former foes were so inter-
mingled hat no one knew exactly
"where he was at" Maj. Wallace
started out one night in quest of n
Confederate badge, but could not find
one excepting or the breast of a Union
veteran. He gave up the quest and
made up his mind to rest content with
n button. Finally he found II "reb"
and begged the gift. The soldier from
the South smiled audibly and said:
"Look at me, Yank, l haven't got a
bdtton on my person. am skewered

Wires All in a Tanp,e

CHICAGO, Aug. ao.-A general storm
in midwinter could scarcely have
wrought more damage to the telegraph
companies than did the gale Monday
night. business between the Atlantic
states and this city is very nearly par
alyzed. The great net work of wires
of the Western Union company suf-
fcred to an alarming extent. In places
east of Buffalo and along the
Baltimore and Ohio to Washington
the ravages of the storm were respon
sible for the wholesale destruction of
wires. Line repairers fairly swarm
over the storm swept territory, and the
information m from the western
side of this zone of destruction that
their work is going to be the
most difficult in years. Poles
are down in stretches of
five miles and the wires are snapped,
bent and dashed into useless tangles of
inextricab'e puzzles. Occurring as it
has when the eyes of the west are di-
rected upon the capital, the work of
the storm is more keenly felt.

STRANGE CATTLE DISEASE.
a Contagious MaIady in the Pastures About
Bloomington.

BLooM1SGroS, H., Aug. 3o.--A
strange and very alarming contagious
disease has broken out among cattle in
the pastures about Bloomington. 1t is
an affection of the eye, and when it is
once established in n herd of cattle it
is almost certain to affect all. Several
of the local veterinarians have said
that it was to them an entirely new
new disease, while by others it is
diagnosed as kerutitis, which has been
for a few years a source of much trouble
to cuttle1nen of the far west. The cat
tie affected here are either animals
from the west or those which have
been in pastures near them. The af-
fected animal suddenly refuses to eat,
the eyelids swell, tears run down the
checks, and r%uminution is suspended.
In the worst cases permanent blind
ness follows. However, only a small
per cent of the cattle go blind. So far
us known no more than fifty head of
cattle are already affected in this inn
mediate vicinity, but the disease is
rapidly spreading. Several suits for
heavy damages are threatened by cat
tlemen whose herds have been affected
by imported cattle.

"HE WAS IN IT."
Judge Monroe So Decided in Favor Of Kelly
...An inteyestino Suit.
London Truth.

--An Interesting Suit.
John j. Kelly VS.. Peoples bank ct al.
Plaintiff began this suit by scizing o lot
terry ticket, one-twentieth of u whole
ticket, which had won Sl5, 900 and had
been forwarded to the Peoples bank for
collection, and in which he claimed one-
fourth interest as owner. BY consent
the ticket was cashed, and the unclaimed
the contested one-quarter, which was
also claimed by JOIN w. Fcnlow under
control of the court.
The parties live in ST. Louis, and have
been quite Unfortunate. In 1891 Fenlow,
Kelly, Norlenlan, .O'Keefc and Connors
formed n quasi club and on three or four
occasions purchased five fractions of lot
terry tickets, said fractions. costing 81
each, and each membe contributing his
proportion of the price, was equally in
terested in the winnings. Fcnlow gener-
ally was charged with purchasing the
tickets and held them until the drawing.
The members usually paid their contri-
buttons before the drawings, and Fenlow
paid the lottery ticket vendor.
In April, 1892, they invested (Connors
had dropped ont). All paid except Kelly,
who had agreed to pay his dollar on the
day preceding the drawing.
the tickets had been selected by Norle-
man. There was 40 further intercourse
between the members of the club until
after the drawing IN Tuesday, April IL,
when it was learned that one of the four
tickets had won $l5, eco. The tickets have
been paid for by Fenlow, and the question
for the court to decide is whether Fcnlow
paid for account of Kelly one dollar or
whether it was for his own account
The day after the drawing Kelly ten
dered his dollar, but was told he was "too
late" and that he was mo in it"
Tho court concludes that FeulOw gave
Kelly to understand that he (Fenlow)
would see that kelly's interest in the
ticket would be paid for.
1t is therefore ordered, adiudged and
decreed that there be Il Judgment in favor
of John j. Kelly and against John w.
Fcnlow, dccrceing Kelly to have been the
owner of an undivided one-tourth interest
in the lottery ticket, and that plaintiff re,

one-fourth of the proceeds of the lottery

Scientist May Differ

Scientists May Differ
As to the causes of rheumatism, but there
is no difference of opinion among them as
to the danger which attend it, the symp.
toms by which it manifcsts itself, and the
difficulty of dislodging it in its chronic
stage. Several mineral and vegetable
poisons are prescribed for it, but none of
these has been shown by experience to
possess the SAINT efficacy as Hostetter's
stomach Bitte-s. This benign
specific dcpurates the blood by promot-
ing vigorous action of the kidneys, which
strain from the blood as it passes through
them the rheumatic virus when it exists
in the system. Physicians of emineuce
testify to the value of the Bitters in rheu-
matism, and the professional opinions re-
garding it are borne out and corroborated
by ample popular evidence. The Bitters
remedy chills and fever, liver complaint,
dyspepsia and constipation.

coNN's SOLUTION.
Another Way Out of the Financial MIDDLE
.-Details of ths Plan,

WASHINGTON, Aug. a7.-Congressman
Charles G. Conn, of Indiana, has u so
luton of the financial problem, which
he has submitted to several of his col
leagues, and which, he says, has met
their approval and the approval of al.
whom he has conferred with, who are
in favor of bimetallisnl. Mr.. Conn out
lines his plan as follows: "Open our
minis to the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at a ratio of l6 to l and for
every 3Tl1 grains of fine silver deliv.
cred at a mint, issue, as the owner oil
the silver may elect, either q legal ten
der certificate or 81 of 1925 grains
weight which should also be legal ten
der and redeemable in gold: provided
that the owner of the silver pay into the
treasury at the time the silver is deliv-
cred the difference between tho pre-.
vailing market price of both gold and
silver
The effect of such a policy. it's author
rency at q stable basis; to furnish n
market to silver producers and prevent
losses to industrial and commercial in.
terests of the mining states and terri.
tories; to expand the currency at tho
present ratio between gold and silver,
and place money in tho hands of the
people without compelling them to pay
interest to the banks, md retain silver
In use as a money metal. Nor would
such a policy be harmful to either the
public or to tho silver producers. If
silver advanced in price under The in
tinence of free coinage silver producers
would be benefited thereby, but if, or
the contrary, free coinage did not af-
feet the market price of silver the gov
eminent would not be the loser If re-
CURED to redeem its silver pledges in
gold, for the reason that the gold
price OF every dollar of silver, either
minted, OF represented by n certificate,
would have been paid into the treas
ury; provided, of course, that the mar
ket price of silver was no lower than
now prevails-a result not to be ex'
pectcd unless the purchasing clause OF
the Sherman act is Internationally re-
pealed.
lnasmuch as it has been the policy OF
the government to redeem its silver
pledges in gold, and rs it has proposed
to maintain the parity between gold
and silver money by a continuation OF
that policy. this plan of compromise
would in no way interfere with gold re-
demption of the silver already in circu.
%lation, provided its redemption was de.
handed.
II am of the opinion" Mr.. Conn con-
cludes, ''that no demand would b1
made for the redemption of silver in
gold except perhaps for export gold,
and there should be discreet legislation
to prevent the raiding of our treasury

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. a7.-The
thirteen banks here which are members

ing of the crops. The certificates will
be stamped by the clearing house and
issued by it to any bank depositing Sc

has already been approved by the pres

their willingness to accept the certifi

EXTRA SESSION ADJOURNMENT
Advocates OF Tariff Reform Viii Likci,

OpDoSe Ii.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-While there
is much talk among representative
members OF both houses of an adjourn.
ment of the extra session, such a result
is not likely to occur.
The friends Of tariff reform do not
think it good party policy to adjourn
both houses so near the opening of the
regular session without having taken
any action on the revision of the tariff.
For this reason they will fight against
adjoul nmcnt, and will probably pre-
vent it.
There is rot likely to be so much of
a desire for adjournment about the first
OF October as there is at present. The
climate will then have moderated and
the attractions of the seashore will
have been lost for the solons. 1t may
be stated authoritutively that Mr..
Cleveland believes that adjournment
would be a good policy. He thinks that
the ways and means committee of the
house and the finance committee OF the
senate should sit in the vacation and
take testimony on tariff schedules and
get the work we'll under way for the
regular session in December.
