Patrick Heury's Genius.

During this year of seeming idleness
young Henry conceived the idea of be-
coming a lawyer. Digging in the soil
would not yield him Il livelihood.
Drawing molasses and measuring tape
had produced the same h;'rr result.
But words never failed him. H." could
move or melt any audience Lcturt whom
he might stand. Therefore he deter
mined to earn his living 10y his tongue.
The wonderful mental capacity Of
this broken down farmer and merchant
may be understood when we learn that
after very few weeks OF reading and
study he presented himself at Williams
burg before the examiners and WAS All
mitted to the bar-nOt, however, with
out much urging and entreaty, for Til"
examiners soon discovered the pauclty
of his knowledge of the statutes. In
spite of his ignorance of tho forms and
technicalities, young Henry pleaded his
own case so we'll that he received his
license, not at all because of his legal
proficiency, but solely because of his
ingenuity and the promise he gave OF
future usefulness. One of the examl-
ners, Mr.. John Randolph, was so much
shocked by the uncouth appearance of
the man that he at first refused to ex-
anime him, but shortly discovered that
the candidate was diamond in the
rough, and after subjecting him to
most severe series of subtle and intricate
queries he was forced to remark, Mr..
Henry, if your industry be only half
your genius, augur that you will do
we'll and become an ornament and an
honor to your profession. Prophetic
wordsi-Blue and Gray.

A RADICAL MOVE.


sufferers L rom consumption.
New YORK, Feb 2G.-The sanitary SUI
perntcndCnt was ordered Yesterday to en-
force rigid regulations concerning con
sumptives; to prepare to isolate them in
one hospital, to see that all doctors and
institutions report to the health depart
ment such patients, and to require land
lords to Immediately disenfect rooms
having been tenated by consumLtives
Many doctors interviewed favor thus
treating consumption like smallpox, but
converts to the Amick theory that lung
troubles are not contagious and are durable
are increasing. An Amick depository was
established here last week to supply free
test medicines proving his theory to New
York physicians, and those living in other
states can send to Cincinnati. where the
discoverer lives. Even the medical journal
edited by the president of the board Of
health said recently that the success of the
Cincinnati treatment proved consumption
is durable, and the isolation of its victims
will be vigorously fought

Kelly Still Believes

in the principle of Mr. Mckinley who said
everything we eat or drink must be pro-
duced and manufactured by the working
classes of America.
Kelly says every dollar we pay for the
waterworks should be paid to the working
classes of the city, even if it cost five per
cent more than it would if done by out
siders who would not be obliged to pay
one cent to redeem our water bonds, be-
cause it is well known fact the tenant
pays the water tax, and it would seem very
unreasonable to appropriate forty thous-
and dollars to be spent on public works
and employ people from other towns when
we have one hundred and sixteen families
with an average of six in family whose
income is less than three dollars week
and they depending on a soliciting COM
mittee to beg bread, in order that they
need not go to be bed supperless. Take
KELLY'S advice and you will never regret
it, and I will give you guarantee that

The lIberality and Kindness with which

Although all the arrangements have

CUSPIDORS A LA SOAP BOX.
Primitive AMI Ugly Utensils at the
New Criminal Court Building.

The things which most obtrusively and
aggressively catch the eye of stranger
entering the grand inner court of the
brand new Criminal Court House are
two wooden boxes at the foot of two
handsome bronze bas-reliefs of gentle
men in living picture ncglige costumes
and wings on their feet The boxes orig
inally contained soap. as Is shown by the
bold, black lettering upon their sides
calling attention to a particular brand.
Now. the boxes are filled with sawdust.
and they are placei upon the first land
ings Of the magnificent white marble and
bronze stairways. They are for the use
of expectorating visitors to the Court
House. Throughout the building here
and there are other soap boxes used for
the same purpose.
1t was suggested yesterday by very
bright young woman, whose aesthetic
sense was outraged by The presence Of
the ugly boxes so close to the beautiful
ornamentation of the grand stairwavs,
that II would be a wonderfully good idea
to put In their places ornamental bronze
boxes. with running water arrangements
to flush them and keep them constantly
clean. With the plumbing facilities at
the new Court-Hous, this would be very
easy to do. and II would undoubtedly be
vast improvement upon the soap boxes,
as well as OF hygienic value to all In the
building.
