Various SurmIses Which Might Have
Arisen Over Simple Matter.
1t is not always safe to judge by ap-
pearances, for often, as the poet Long
follow says: ''Things are not what
they SEEM" Some years ago the writer
of this article was fishing from boat
in Mississippi sound opposite Biloxi,
when growing tired of piece of gum
which she had been trying in vain to
like, she dropped it into the water.
What was her establishment when
within the next half hour she caught
fish with this identical piece of gum in
its mouth. This is a fish story, but
it is absolutely true, says Harper's
Young People, and not so very remark
able either, when one remembers that
there were a half dozen lines hanging
from the boat at the time, each hold
ing tempting bait, so that the fish
who had snapped up the gum would be
apt to linger near the Turing snares and
be eventually caught.
Supposing, though, that some one
else had caught this fish and found the
gum, he might have hastily concluded
that fish of this particular family-it
was catfish--were addicted to the
very vulgar habit of gum chewing, and
if he had examined the gum he would
have further reasoned that the fish had
migrated from Mexico, as the gum was
resinous sap of Mexican tree.
Going still further, he might have
surmised that as the fish obviously
could not 60 on shore for the gum, the
gum must go to the fish; hence, the
tree either dropped its life fluid from
branches overhanging the sea, or sent
out into the water long sappy roots,
from which the catfish extracted the
gum.
All because woman thoughtlessly
threw a bit of chewing gum over the
side of boat.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, July 30.-By an
explosion of nest of boilers at Pack
er's No. colliery of the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal Company, Saturday night, one
man was instantly killed, two SO badly
hurt that they have since died, and one

Miller, aged As, leaves wife and fam
lily; Darby Shields, aged "A, leaves a
wife and family; John Laubeck, aged
25 years, single. Steve Saliska is seri-
ously burned.
The cause 'of the explosion is not
known. Ike boilers had just been in
spected, and the men were engaged in
taking the steam pipe fittings and get
ting ready to fire up when the explo-
sion occurred. The men were hurled
in every direction, and the boiler house
was wrecked by the force of the explo-
sion. Miller was instantly killed and
Shields and Laubeck so badly burned

.ators, of having used their
positions to obtain informa-
ton as to what was being
done in connection with the sugar
clause of the tariff bill, in order to
speculate in sugar stock, was I'M
dignified, but majority is hardly
likely to take that view of the
matter and Mr.. PETER says he is
determined that the resolution
shall not be pigeon-holed. The sur
prislng thing to most people was
that one of the senators charged
with speculation did not ask for
an investigation.
The House judiciary committee
will almost certainly make a fav-
orable report on the bill fathered
by Representative BarthOldt, Of
Mo-, making Lincoln's birthday
legal holiday, although the point
has been raised that Congress can
not do more than recommend to
the states that it be so observed.
Mr.. Bartho1dt, however, thinks
Congress has full authority to de-
clare the day legal holiday, and
Will make an endeaVor to get his
bill through.
Representative McRae, of Ark,
acting for those House Democrats
who are opposed to the action of
the Democrats of the Senate FL
nance committee, in putting du-
ty on sugar, has introduced a bill
TO abolish the bounty on sugar and
to place sugar of all grades on the

tend to make sure of free sugar by
lacking this bill as a rider onto
some of the regular appropriation

the Democratic leaders will allow
them to do so. Rep.

Perhaps you would not think so, but a
very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from carelessneSS about catch
ing cold" says DR.. Syrus Edison. at is
such a simple thing and so common that
very few people. unless it is a case Of
pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold.
New YORK Is one of the healthiest places
on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a
great many cases of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution of eve

when you have one get rid Of it as soon as
possible. BY all means do not neglect it. "

Crazed by a Ghost.

New York Sun.
Twice on the way from 80 First
street to Bellevue hospital yester-
day forenoon a carriage was stopped
by policemen because a woman in
side was shrieking at the top of
her voice. There was policeman
in the carriage with her, and his
uniform served as a pass. The
woman was Louisa Soup, who
had gone violently insane and
tried to throw herself from a win
dow. Her cries, when prevented,
aroused the whole street, and it
took four men to handle her. From
the coach she was carried, kicking,
yelling and clawing, into the re-
ceptiOn room.
No work could be done in the
office until she was removed to the
insane pavilion. Herman Soup,
her son, who is a pastry cook in
the Gilsey house, said that his
father died last October, and that

sanity, and to imagine that she
had been the cause of his death by
neglecting him. Finally she i'm
agined that she had murdered him.
Then she wanted to give herself up
to the police. A week or so ago
she informed her son that she had
seen her husbands spirit. After
that she used to talk to her hus-
bands spirit at all times of the
day and night. She herself told
DIR. Dong as that her husbands
ghost visited her yesterday and
chased her around the room. She
tried to jump from the window to
escape from him, she said.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent !
WASHINGTON, March y, 1894.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March y, 1894.
The tariff fight between the
Democratic free traders and the
Democratic home protectionists
having been won by the latter, the
battle is now temporarily trans
ferred to the full Senate commit
tee of finance. There are eleven
members of this committee, six
Democrats and five Republicans,
but one of the Democrats, Vance
OfNorth Carolina, is away. If the
Democrats can succeed in putting
a substitute for Vance on the COM
mittee, they will probably make
the attempt this week. I'm
less they can get Vance to
come back, they will have
a majority Of one; otherwise
the committee will stand a tie
politically, and nothing can be
done without the consent of at
least one Republican. The first
contest in the committee will be
over the time that shall be devoted
to the consideration of the bill in
cOmmitte, the Democrats desiring
to report the bill at once and the
Republicans to go over it section by
section, pointing out its defects
and Offering amendments to
remedy them. The Republicans
generally regard the protection
which the revised bill gives to coal,
iron ore, sugar and lead ore in the
light of defects, because they
are clearly determinations made
merely to get enough votes to
pass the bill, and only serve to
bring out more distinctly the in
justice of the rest of the bill. The
Republicans are fortunate in the
makeup of their side of the finance
committee. 1t would be difficult
if not impossible, to select five men
as well qualified in every respect
to do battle for Republican prin,
ciples as are Senators Morrill,, Of
Vermont; Sherman, of Ohio
Jones, of Nevada; Allison, Of Iowa
and Aldrich, of Rhode Island. i
they do not accomplish anything
it will be simply because nothing
can be accomplished.
1t is not yet certain that the re
vised bill can be passed by the
Senate, Notwithstanding the cOnces
sions made to the kiCkers, although
of course, the probabilities are de
cidedly in its favor; but there re
mains several elements of dOub
either Of which may result in de
feating the bill. Two of the POpu
lists-Pfeffer and Allen-have de
clared their intention to vote
against it and the votes of Senator
Hill and Murphy are not assured
for the bill but even with the lost
of those votes it is still DOS
sible for the Democrats to pass tn
bill, if Kyle votes with them, ant
it is understood that he will, hav
ing for good and sufficient reason
