STRICKEN DEAD.
TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS.
A recent New York dispatch reads:

"James C. H, fine looking and
apparently healthy man, was observed to
stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this
afternoon, and after taking one or two un.
certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was dead. A physician ex-
amined the body ,and pronounced heartdisedss
the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature
of the case is that Mr.. H was on his
way to Maine, to settle in the home Of his
boyhood. He had passed the previous ten
years in the western mining country, and had
amasscd fortune. IfYOU have any of the
symptoms given in the following testimonials

majority should rule, but if condi-
tions were reversed, they would cry
aloud in support Of the traditional
rules of the senate that protect the
minority. The only way that may pos
sibly settle the matter in the senate
is the consideration of a compromise
measure, but l cannot say anything
definite regarding that, because there
are so many measures or amendments
to the original bill already introduced" ;"
Any man who will deliberately father
the statement that the majority should
not rule, and that the minority are
entitled to win their case, is an arrant
fool. When he makes the assertion
in country where exists the highest
and most enlightened form of popular
government that the world has ever
known, he becomes an idiot, unac-
countable for his folly. Mitchell should

A HORRIBLE CRIME.


The Vancouver Register is vlrtuous-
iy indignant. She says (why not call
q weekly "she" instead of ''it?O that:
"The oregonian has a monopoly on
the telegraphic news service Of Port
land, and that makes 1t possible for
that paper to print only such news as
II sees fit. The public is required to
ray monopoly prices for the news,
While that paper saves a good many
dollars in typesetting and for paper by
cutting down the amount Of telegraph
ic news sent to It for publication. The
Tacoma and Seattle daily papers pub
lish more complete telegraphic news
than does the Oregonian, the paper
which assumes to be 1.-THE only paper"
Last week In reporting the proceedings
of the democratic state convention at
Lincoln, Nebraska, 1t was announced
that Congressman Bryan withdrew
from the democratic party when the
convention voted down the resolution
In favor of the free coinage of silver.
The following Is a portion of the tel
egraphic report which the Oregonian
failed to print. We found 1t in the
columns of the Tacoma Ledger. 1t
snys: Bryan is very popular among
the populists. He is one of the most

reared In southern Illinois, near Black
Jack Lotan's birthplace His locks are
raven, and as an orator he is said to
have no equals in the country"
Never was there more just crlti-
cism than this, The RELENTLESS Valky-
rie who presides over the Oregonian's
telegraph room should sink in his boots
when he reads It, We ourselves have
noticed this scandalous suppression Of
important telegraphic news In the Or
egonlan. Last April It published a
dispatch about Jones, "a populsO and

month Robertson (the populisO stood

clousness was palpably shown. It's tel

that Robertson had spoken. while its
noble contemporary, the Tacoma

THE FATHER OF MANY ILLS.

Constipation leads to multitude of
physical troubles. 1t is generally the
result OF carelessness or Indifference to
the simplest rule OF health. Eugene
Mckay, of Brantford, Ont, writes:
Il had for several years been a suf-
ferer from constipation, had taken a
great many diffedent remedies, some
OF which did me good for a time, but
only for a time, then my trouble came
back worse than ever. l was induced
by friends. whom Brandredth's Pills
had benefited, TO try them. Took two
each night for week. then one every
night for about six weeks. Since that
time have not experienced the slight
est difficulty whatever, and my bowels
move regularly every day. l believe
FIRMLY that for sluggishness OF the
bowels and b,lousness Branlreth's
Pills are far superior to any other.

Mr.. smalley writes from London to
the "Tribune:"
"Mr. Parnell made a very remark
able speech in Liverpool in 1885, Mr..
Gladstone was then playing his last
card hut one. He was appealing, and
appealing vainly, to the English peo-
ple-.his admirers cannot be reminded
of 1t too often to give him majority
which would enable him to deal with
ireland independently Of Irish wishes
and Irish votes. If he should get such
a majority, said Mr.. Parnell, he would
frame and pass a bill of his own. He
never told the people what 1t would be
like; any more then than in 1892. The
lords would throw out the bill and
there would have to be another appeal
to the country. That, Mr.. Parnell
thought he was then opposing Mr..
Gladstone-"would be q very abortlve
result Of the general election, but in
the circumstances the house of lords
would only be carrying out their con-
stitutional right by rejecting a bill
the details of which had not been be-
fore the country"

A Freak Turtles Narrow Escape.

A freak turtle in the back yard of
Robert X. Idler's on Delaware avenue,
on Philadelphia, was within an inch OF
death during a storm. The turtle is
such a peculiar creature that even the
wise men of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion have been unable to properly
label him. He has soft, leather-like
back, spotted legs, with five toes and
three dog-like claws on each foot. His
head is shaped like that of peccary,
and when he opens his mouth hissnout-
like nose curls up and one Instructive
ly listens for him to grunt.
Instead of crawling along he takes
quick jumps like that of frog. This
remarkable curiosity is highly priced
by Mr.. Idler, who has refused his
weight in gold. During the storm he
Jumped into tub which was beneath
q hydrant. Hardly had he got there
when a chimney on the adjoining
house toppled and fell, two OF the
bricks crushing into the tub alongside
the turtle with such force as to break
the tub. The bricks barely grazed the
turtle, but the next moment he
bounded out of the tub. like an India
rubber ball, and in three jumps cleared
the yard and frantically climbing Nr.
Idler's leg, hid his head under his mas
ter's coat.
Yesterday he had recovered his equa-
nimity, but he could not be coaxed
into the yard until the wind had sub.
sided. Then he cautiously approached
the tub, and after casting a quick
been, jumped into the tub and began
to claw the brick which had So nearly
crushed him. He wasn't satisfied until
Mr.. Idler removed the brick, then ne
resigned himself to a complacent en-
ioyment of bath in the tub. Pitts

recrminat 'ons were so lavish that littae
more was left for the lawyers to do
| when they were placed on trial than to
| prove out of their own mouths the
things that warranted their imprison-
ment. Their own confession, the tools
found in their cabin beside the big rock,
and the testimony of one or two victims,
such as Eli Potts. was all that was re-
Quired to satisfy the jury.
Their trial came off few days after
the supposed arrest OF Dan Ross for

They were one and all sentenced to
the States prison for twenty years.
Two counts were considered by the
judge in imposing the sentence.
Should any of the gang outlve the
term for which they have been impris-
oned, they are liable to imprisonment on
other counts.
When the trial was progressing, 81
Sloan and Hi Perkins were told the
truth by the sheriff, who laughed at
them immoderately. As the story was
told in the presence OF Dan Ross and
his father-in-law that would soon be,
the directors turned to them for con-
frmation.
"If Club was here she'd explain it all
better than can," said Hank Dawson.
"Then it's true, what the Sheriff
says?"
81 Sloan was disgusted.

Sheriff.
"Does-say, now, Sheriff-does Tom
Biggers know it?" Sloan asked earnestly.
ayes, Tom Walker, let us know the
worst at once. Does Tom Bggers know
the ms and outs of it? He's been here
at the trial three hull days-from the
beginning"
No." said the Sheriff solemnly.

Wonderful me.keeping AutomatOn.

One of the most wonderful time
keepers known to the horologist was
made in London about 100 years ago
md sent by the President of the East
India Company as II gift to the Elm
peror of China. The case was made IN
the form of chariot, in which was
seated the figure of woman. Inns
figure was of pure ivory and gold' and
sat with her right hand resting upon
n tiny clock fastened to the side OF the
vehicle. A part Of tue wheels which
kent track of the flight OF time were
hidden in the body of tiny bird,
which had seemingly inst alighted up
on the laay's finger. Above was a
canopy 50 arranged as to conceal
silver bell. This bell was fitted with
u miniature hammer of the same metal,
and, although it appeared to have no
connection witt! the clock, regularly
struck the honrs, and could he made
to repeat by touchingn diamond bnt-
tou on the latiy's bodice. In the
chariot, at the ivory lsdy's feet, there
WAS golden figure of dog. and ABOVE

press. is that the vitality of the patient
should under no circumstances be I'M
paired or exhausted and that the nat
ural strength existing in the person at
the moment of the accident should be
kept atsits normal condition, as far as
permissible under adverse circum-
stances, and thus made to act as one
of the elements in recovery. The pro
fessor, according to the New York
Herald, acts upon the conviction that
an accident, however severe it may be
and whatsoever may be it's final out
come, does not at the instant rob the
injured of all his strength; he argues
that it is the suffering consequent upon
the accident that weakens and that this
suffering is FASTENED and perpetuated
in o great measure by delay in giving
to the injured parts the attention and
relief they require. This argument
led the professor inevitably to the po-
sition that the quicker relief is forth
coming the longer will the strength
remain with which to battle against the
depressing tendency of the wound or
injury, and to extend this aid and to
educate the people up to the knowl-
edge of extending this aid is the pre-
liminary step in the groundwork OF
his system.
The Vienna Samaritan Society's es-
tablishment, like that of Berlin, is
governed by the same strict discipline
prevailing in the fire department OF
every great city, and is not unlike 1T

different sections of the town. ALI
those stations are connected by wire
with each other and with the resi-
dences of competent physicians, some
of whom are constantly within reach
of an alarm sounded upon their call
wire. So. too, are these stations open
at all times to those who may want re-
lief from slight injuries not sufficient
to require the use Of an ambulance,
and there is at the same time force
of men ever ready to respond to de-
mands from the outside. Aside from
the superintendent of the stations the
force consists entirely Of volunteers,
men whose heart is in the work and
who find satisfaction in relieving SUI
fering humanity. An exception, how
ever, to many volunteer organizations,
