Guests at an Irish Wake Scared Almost
Out of Their Senses. gs2,
The Irish Times publishes the partic-
ulars Of a very extraordinary case of
trance which was mistaken for death!
Last week a young man aged %, named
3Garragin, living at Ballinacree, near
Old Castle, was believed to have died.
He had been ailing for some time and
all the appearances of death were
shown, SO that no doubt Of his decease
was entertained. The usual wake
preparatory to burial was begun, and a
number of neighbors had arrived at
the house to share the night watches.
Suddenly signs of animation were no.
ticed in the apparently lifeless body.
Five minutes later it was clear that the
young man had been in a trance and
was on the way to recovering his
senses. The occurrence created a
great sensation. Many of those pres
ent fled from the house and would not
return. All were deeply moved and
the scene for some time was one of in
tense excitement.

ThermOpyla.

Nearly twenty-four hundred wears
ago, in a narrow mountain pass of
Northern Greece, Leonidas and his
three hundred Spartans fell to the, last
man before the barbarians, but saved
their country and achieved immortal
fame. "Words," said DR.. johnson.
''are the daughters of earth; acts are
the sons of heaven" The act done
has preserved the word that otherwise
had been forgotten. In fact, ether
mopyla" is in English only ''Hot
Springs" Possibly it had some local
fame as health resort, as in all ages
down to our time hot springs have al
ways been visited by the ailing and the
invalid. In our own country there are
two celebrated ones-Hot Springs,
Arkansas, resorted to by hundreds of
thousands, and Hot Springs, South
Dakota, just, coming into notice and
fame. To purify the blood after a
winter indoors, or to alleviate rheuma-
tism and similar Affections, nothing
can be better than trip to the hot
springs-either one. The former can
be most conveniently reached from the
Northwest and Mississippi valley,
through St. Louis and via the Burling-
ton, and the latter is a point on the
Burlington system. Apply to your
home agent for tickets to either place,
or write to w. J. G. Kenyon, Gen.

What He Should Be.

The Minneapolis Journal asked the
country editors to give their ideas of
"their mission upon earth and some
OF them gave quite intelligent answers
to the inquiry, considering their cir
cumstances and surroundings. The
typical country editor should be a.
meek, lowly, humble creature. He
should have no ideas of his own as to-
what is right or wrong, proper or i'm
proper or if so unfortunate as to have
any such ideas he must suppress them.
He must be loyal to his town, which
means that he must praise everybody
and everything no matter whether de-
served or not. He must make frequent
and fattering mention of the leading
citizens and business men although
they give their patronage to outside
printers. He must constantly urge
everybody to patronize home industries
and home merchants so as to help
build up the town. When he has year
after year done all this and more, and:
worn out his life serving the selfish de-
mands of the community in which he
lives, with little pay and with but scant
thanks he will be- allowed to die in
peace and in poverty, perhaps his dead
body may be carried into the church
fas an object lesson " lille the preacher
talks Of brotherly kindness and char
ity. A few simple hearted people may,
perhaps, with fearful eyes take their
last look at his cold and lifelesss face
but the ''business men" will scarcely
notice the dull clay and will say, "well
he was good natured and inoffensive
but he did not know how to get on in
the world" And the memory of the
country editor sinks into that oblivion
whence there is no call.-Butazo

Tariff Reform.

After a month of dilly-dallying, after
weeks of scandal with sugar and
whisky stocks, after sugar trust stock
has been ''boomed" and ''squeezed" up
and down the scale Is points, the senate
finance committee, which has had
charge of the Wilson bill has COM
pleted it's tinkerings and, driven by
public opinion, reports the disfigured
and dilapidated document to the
senate.
It is sufficient to say that the self
named conservatives, otherwise the
Democratic coalition which stands as
the agent and attorney of the sugar
trust, the whisky trust, the coal com.
bination and the iron ore magnates-
carried the day and drafted the bill tc
suit themselves. Brice, Hill, German
the louisiana sugar men, the Alabama
West Virginia and Maryland coal an6
iron senators, and the Tammany
/ Havemeyer and Standard Oil crowi
got everything that they demanded.
Mr.. Havemeyer's trip to Washing
ton, and the exertions of his lobby
were entirely successful. Sugar, under
the provisions of this Democratic meas
ure, gets a protection of from to L.
! cents per pound, or from 80 to 40 pei
cent. ad valorem. The sugar trust
/ which last year made a profit of ove7
$50, 100000 on $75,OOO,0OO of wateret
stock, has it's protection doubled.
The whisky trust gets it's bonded
period extended from three to eigh
years. The tobacco trust retains it.
protection of 100 per cent. and over.
The coal interests of Senators Brice
German and Camden in Tennessee
Maryland and West Virginia, of Vice
President Stevenson, in Illinois, and o

MRS. LIZZIE FISHER.
The Death of = Most Estimable an
Beloved Lady.

The Death of = Most Estimable and
Beloved Lady.
The community was shocked yester.
day to learn of the death of Mrs. Lizzie
K. Fisher, the wife of w. ]. Fisher.
The peculiarly sad circumstances OF the
death OF Mrs. Fisher were outlined in
the HERALD yesterday in the account OF
the fire at which she received the fatal
injuries.
Mrs. Fisher was a member OF one of
the noted southern families, being a
daughter of John K. Rsyburn of New
Orleans, and also of Nashville, and being
also granddaughter of William Lytle of
Nashville.
She leaves two sons here, Mr.. w. L.
Price, valued member of the HERALD
force. and Charles II. Price, the real
estate dealer.
Mrs. Fisher was q woman possessed OF
the most charming personality. She
had all the graciousnees and polished
manners of a southern gentlewoman,
combined with rare brightness and
alertness of intellect. Her qualities
were most attractive and won for her q
large circle OF friends, who learned to re-
gard her with the highest respect COM
bined with warm affection.
The true sympathy of large portion
OF the community is felt for the be-
reeved ones-whoss mournful task it ia
to witness the last sad rites. Her life
will be always before them as q model
and example of which they may we'll
feel proud.
The funeral services will be private.

out of the best society at those colleges,
and lose caste altogether with his fellow

A WRITER upon industrial questions in
England ascribes the ill temper of the
working classes and the prevalence of
wife-beating to an excessive use of meat
diet. He says that the meat consumed
at one meal by family OF five people in
the lower portions of London. Manches-
ter and Birmingham would lssta French
family of similar size for three meals
and perhaps four. EIs goes on to cay
that the French, who are generally
courteous. eat meat about four times q
week; and that the Japanese, who are
never rude nor impolite, live upon fish
Tor whole weeks at a time. This re-
minds US to say that the famous Count
d'Orsay was wont to consume broiled
halibut for breakfast every morning
and that the mikado's favorite dinner
is baked whale, stuffed with what
Mr.. Sol Smith Russell would call sage

for there are a multitude of things to be
attended to, the overlooking Of any one of
which would be prone to result disastrousIy.
Not the least of these many things is the pre-
pairing of the Invitations and cards.
Invitations, aud especially those for wed
ding, are governed by a lex non scripta"
which is as unalterable as the law, of the
Medes and Persians. Adh srence to the proper
form stamps the sender as pers on OF social
culture while the slieh slip is certain TO be
commented upon and Is almost as good as
passport to socia' ostrscism. Therefore the
greatest care should ne exercised in this direc-
tion.
aud Temem bered in this connection that the
limits OF a newspaper article hardly afford sui
fcient scope. The only practical SUI ges ion
which eau be made is 10 consult some one
peiienced in such matters, and wnose taste is
beyond question. There is at leaAt such
man In Los Angeles. We refer to NJ. German,
tine well-known jeweler, at 800 South Spring
