EFFECTS ON DIGESTION.

A writer in one of the noted med
ical journals has this to say of the
effect Of tea and coffee drinking on
the digestion Of the consumer: To
investigate tea and coffee drinkers
we would commend the study of
some interesting experiments made
recently by an eminent German
scientist, Prof Schutzenstein, who
has been investigating the effect on
processes of digestion produced by
these beverages. For this purpose
the professor prepared an artificial
gastric juice and mixed it with
coagulated egg albumen, with and
without additions of tea and coffee
infusions The results obtained are
extremely instructive, for while the
gastric juice itself was able to di-
gest "a per cent of the egg albu-
men in the space of eight hours,
when tea was added The proportion
was reduced to 66 per cent, while
when decoction Of coffee was mix
ed with the albumen the gastric
fluid was only able to digest 81 per
cent, or less than two thirds Of the
albumen.
The digestive power of the gas
trio juice appeared to vary with
the strength of the infusion, the
disturbing effect being less when
the solutions Of tea and coffee were
weakened. The professor is of the
opinion that the deleterious effect
produced is due to the tannin, which
is extracted during the process OF
making, and not to the presence Of
them and caliein, and he mentions
that tea which has not been allowed
to stand more than two or three
minutes is less injurious, because a
smaller quantity Of this undesirable
ingredient, tannin, has been pro
duced than when it is boiled up OIL
left in contact with the leaves for a
considerable length of time But it
should be remembered that the
weaker infusion, besides containing

GLORIOUS TRIUMPH.
ARKANSAS DEMOCRACY SWEEPS
THE ENTIRE STATE.
The Democratic Ticket Elected, by
Handsome Majorities, in Every
County yet Heard From-A
Brilliant Victory for Ar
kansas Democrats.

The Arkansas Gazette, of today,
giving returns from yesterday
election in this State, so far as yet
heard from, announces the election
of the entire State Democratic
ticket, by a majority of from %, 900
to 10000 votes. Continuing its ac-
count OF the election, the Gazette
says:
In every county heard from the
election was quiet and a light vote
was polled. The Democracy swept
the State, electing its tickets in
some counties that have heretofore
gone Republican. The Populist
vote was smaller than it was esti-
mated it would be, and so was that
of the Republicans. Clark county,
where the vote was close, is sup
posed to have been carried by the
Democracy by a small majority
Both Jefferson and Phillips counties
elect Democratic tickets.
At Helena not a single vote was
polled for Barker, and at Pine Bluff
only few votes were cast by the
negroes. In White county the ma
jority for the Democratic State
ticket is estimated to be about 200.
In Carroll county, the home of Pow
ell Clayton, the Democratic ticket
is elected by a small majority.
Dallas county gives a Democratic
majority of 250, and Clark will car
ny Desha by 300 The Indications
are that Faulkner county has gone
Democratic by safe majority. The
Democracy carries Howard county.
Partial returns from other coun-
ties are favorable to the Democrat
ic ticket, The indications are that
the Democratic party has made Il
clean sweep of Arkansas.

The Cats Breath.

A recent publication criticises
the notion that "a cat sucks away
a child's breath" This is merely an
expression erroneous in form of a
physiological fact All the felida
possess poisonous breaths, intended
by nature to act as an anesthetic
to their prey. If a person cares to
experiment, for instance, by inhal-
ing a cats breath, they can easily
realize the truth Of this statement.
Carefully watch cat playing with
a captured mouse. You will discov-
err that the mouse does not futfer,
but is sort of stupeiied as if by
chloroform. In the 'Life of Liv-
ingstone,' written by himself, he
states that once when he was seized
by a lion and his arm broken, the
crunching of the broken arm gave
him no PAIN so benumbed we're his
senses by the animals breath.

HORRIBLE CONFEDERATION,
Terrible Details of Loss of Life and
Destruction of Property in
Minnesota.

A special dispatch from st. Paul,
Mimi, under date of September I'd,
gives the following account, in brief,
of terrible devastation wrought in
portion of the state by sweeping
forrest fires:
Six towns, with perhaps more
than 800 dead, is the record made
by the forest fires in this state,
In Hinckley, Sandstone, Sand
stone Junction, Pogogama, Skunk
Lake and Mission Greek there are
355 known dead. In addition, sew
eral hundred are missing, while
from 1000 to 1900 were scattered on
farms throughout the district burn
ed over.
The destruction was complete in
most of the towns named, but some
of the forest land escaped, The
loss, however, will be up in the mil
lions and the loss of life will not be
definitely known for several days, if
ever.
The relief trains brought supplies
sent out from the cities of Mime
apolis, Duluth and other Minnesota
towns, and the sufferers are being
handsomely cared for at Pine City
and other points.
A subsequent dispatch of the
same date and from the same place
says: The situation at Sandstone
is even more appalling than at
Hinckley, except in point of mum
bers OF the 200 people in the town
one fourth are dead. Otto Staffer-
feldt reached here from that place
tonight. He says the people we're
just preparing to leave when the
fire closed in on three sides and not
a single person saved a thing except
clothing. About 100 went to the
river and fifty or sixty we're burned
to death. At 4 o'clock this morn
ing he saw over forty bodies, char
red and burned, lying on every side.
The people who were saved are liv-
ing on potatoes and carrots left in
the ground.
Mr., Gilroy, conductor of the Eas-
tern Minnesota road, says all the
bridges have been burned.
One man found forty-seven dead
bodies at Sandstone, lying uncover
ed in the sun.
The people are destitute of every
thing
In addition to the forty-seven
bodies at Sandstone there are TWEEN
ty at Kettle River Junction. All
the settlers in the vicinity are prob
ably burned to death. ONeill
Bros. had twelve camps in the
woods there and all these were
burned Most of the inmates,
however, are believed to have es-
capped with their lives.
There are twelve homeless fami-
lies at Mission Greek, and the same
story is true of several other places
in that vicinity.

AFTER THE LYNCHERs.

A special dispatch from Memphis,
Tenn, under date of Sept. Bird,
says: The judge of Shelby county
criminal court, Hon. L. p Cooker,
seems determined to punish the
members Of the mob who lynched
six alleged negro incendiaries near
Millington, Tenn, Friday night.
-Four more men were arrested on
bench warrants today, charging
them with completely in the lynch
ing Their names are ]. d. Laxton
e. N. Atkinson, ], W. Walker and
W. G. Thompson.
From facts brought out today it
appears that detective Richardson
knew that an attempt would be
made to lynch the prisoners and de-
liberateiy led them into the hands
of the mob. Several citizens had
warned the officer against starting
to Memphis in wagon and urged
him toput a heavy guard around
the negroes until the arrival of a
train A number of citizens volun-
teered to act as guards, but Rich
ardson declined their offer.
The funeral Of the victims Of the
vigilantes occurred at Kerrville to-
day. There was no demonstration.
The lynching has aroused a storm
Of Indignation The Commercial
Appeal editorially says:
ut was deed of almost incon-
ceivable sayagery-an act of cold
blooded, brutal devilish atrocity,
that makes every nerve writhe
with horror and the heart sick with
loathing for the bloody beasts that
committed it. Every man in any
way connected with or responsible
for this awful crime is a wretch
whose feet would defle the gallows
and whose neck would disgrace the
rope that strangled him. The whole
community must bear the odium Of
a deed done by a band of ruffians
and midnight assassins unless it
takes action to clear itself of all re-
sponsibility. The lynchers must
be brought to justic."

GOULDs, FATHER AND SON.
Jay Made the Money and George is
Getting the Benefit
of il.

Surprise has been expressed that
George ]. Gould should have bought
the Vigilant and spent the summer
in England with that yacht and the
expensive ATLANTA racing with the
Prince of Wales yacht Britannia
His father, who created the for
tune which, with his brothers ant
sisters he is now enjoying, never
amused himself in that manner
Toward the end of his life he did,
indeed, acquire the steam yacht
Atalanta, but this he used, for the
most part, to carry him every day
from his country residence at Tar
rytown to the city. 1t was only
when his health became perma.
nently impaired that he left his
Office, his railroads and his stock
tape and Travelled in Europe. He
devoted his life to business and sac,
riticed his health in the acquisition
of a great fortune, When he died
he was only 56 years of age, a pre-
maturely old man. George Gould
was trained by his father and is an
industrious and capable business
man. Without the brilliancy and
breadth of mind of his father, he is,
nevertheless fully competent tc
care for the great estate of which
he is now the head, But, with the
experience of his father before him
he has decided not to sacrifice his
life for the further acquisition OF
wealth. The fortune he has inner
tied is more than ample for the
wants of any man, and with proper
attention the surplus income will
rapidly increase the principal with
out the need of entering into big
speculations or hazardous undertake
ings. A friend of the Goulds says
that George Gould has, therefore,
decided to care diligently for the
estate, but to leave speculation
alone and to devote part of his time
to pleasure. Jay Goulds ventures
in Wall street were not always sue
cessful and it is believed his losses
were equal to his gains. His for
tune was made in the manipulation
of railroads. George Gould's oper-
ations in the street are also said
not to have been conspicuous for
success, and, while there is still a
stock ticker in the Gould office in
the Western Union building as in
the old days, yet there are days
when it ticks with scarcely any no
tice being given to it, But it must
not be supposed that because
George Gould is racing with the
Prince Of Wales that he has forgot
ten all about Missouri Pacific, West
ern Union, Manhattan and other
Gould properties at home. On the
contrary a cable is sent to him eve.
ny day giving reports in regard to
all these systems, and dispatches
and letters of advice and direction
are received from him. Although
apparently immersed in the pleas
ure of yacht racing, he still has his
fingers on the pulse of bust
ness.
