NlPPED IN THE BUD.

An Incident Net Especially Surprising In
Life mt a Sensible Resort.
There was quite an exciting episode
at one of the leading hotels at Long
Branch the early part of last week in
which the youngest daughter of APRON
inent New Yorker, whose family is
summering here, and q dapper young
fellow, clerk in New York lie in
suranoe office, took active parts The
young lady had become enamored with
the dashing young clerk and thought
that an elopement with him would be
fitting climax for her season s sojourn
at the seaside Accordingly the young
lady made all the necessary arrange
ments for a hasty exit from the hotel,
and as she was about to jump into the
carriage in which sat her trembling
lover she was espied by her mother, who
quickly called the hotel officer to her
assistance and succeeded in getting the
erring girl back to her room.
The young man, who had succeeded
in making good his escape, was later
in the evening found at the Pennsyl-
vania clubhouse by the enraged father,
and an exciting scene ensued. The young
man was threatened with an immediate
arrest for attempting abduction, but
friends Of the poor clerk interceded, and
the matter was hushed up. Instead OF
spending q happy honeymoon the young
lady has been sent to her aunt's, pend
ing the reopening of her boarding
school. New York Telegram.

planters have gone on aud enlarged the
areas of sugar planted, secured adj
yanees from their brokers, aud have made

APast Civilization.

Exchange.
DR.. Wallaee, n character well known
IN New Mexico and Arizona who has
been living in the wilderness of that
country for several years past to escape
death from consumption, has lately re-
turned within reach of civilization, and
tells of some w0derful old rains which he
discovered in the wilderness, They are
IN canon Chaca, in the northeastern part
Of New Mexico. Says he; 81 have Wis
tied hundreds of ruins in Colorado, Ari-
zOna and New Mexico, but never saw
anything approaching this one in size.
The building is of elongated circular
form, and stands at the bottom of the
canon. The architect made oarefulmeas-
urements, and we took number of pho
bographs Of the ruins. According to the
architect, the structure was originally
seven stories high and contained 1900 to
14O0 rooms At the bottom we found a
number of underground rooms, which are
supposed to have been places for holding
secret meetings. The building is yet five
or six stories high in places and is in a
remarkable state of preservation. twill
well repay a most careful inspection by
scientists, as it is perhaps the largest sin
gle ruin to be found on the continent.
DIR. Wallace says that he made long
search but failed completely in locating
the buryiBg ground Of the strange people
who lived in the canon. From expert
enee in finding the graves of the extinct
race, he is certain that the people were
not eremationists and rich find of pot
terry and Aztec iewelry will be made some
day in the canon. His theory is that the
people buried their dead IN caves Of the
cliffs aud scaled up the entrances 50 skill
fully as to avoid detection. He estimates
that a. city of 30, 600 inhabitants centuries
ago occupied the great building and its
immediate vicinity.

The BOodlers Must Go

The charge of Judge Ferguson, of the
criminal court, Of New Orleans, b the
grand jury is SO elsar and explicit and
so appeals tOsll honest aen that we are
constrained to reprodaee it,
.,AboHt one-third of the members of
the city coancil have been Indicted by
one Of the most conscientious and honor
able bodies Of men ever impaneled as
grand jury. This fact indicates an I'M
paralleled condition of corruption and
rottenpess aud Enthusiastically shows to
sou the seriousness and Importance Ofthe
work before you. Your oath requires
that you leave no one lmpresent through
fear, favor or hope of reward, that yOn
present no one for hatred, malice or re-
venge These are wise provisions, and
should be strictly adhered to. In other
words, that you should allow no guilty
man to escape.
For several years the people all over
this country, principally in large cities,
have been robbed by their officials,
mainly Aldermen, but at last day Of
reckoning came, and the taxpayers and
good citizens in many places have do
tcrmined that their city hall shah no
longer be ''den of thieves, and have east
out the money changers, and those who
sold therein.
In our city halt has also been called.
The people are determined to know, by
legitimate proceedings, by whom they
have been betrayed and defrauded, and
to bring to Justice all officials, high sOr
low, ''whO have violated sacred trust,
who have ignored their oaths in office, and
have brought dishOner upon themselves
and injury to the fame and credit to our
city"
Your responsibility in the premises is
great indeed. The eyes of your fellow
citizens are upon you. They expect, and
demand, that you carry on the work Of
reform begun by your predecessors, until
''boOdlers'' sO-called shall be taught such
lesson as shall prevent others in the
future from committinga crime, the mere
mention of which induces on the part of
the people feeling of disgust and con-
tempt.

The state department at Washington

however, it has been impossible mp to

Wherein II Is an Excellent Tonie After
Exercise


The London Medical Journal eombats
the popular notion If the iniurens effect
Of cold bath taken when one i over
heated By oxercise-an idea falsiied by
the experience Of athletes from the days
of the Greeks and Romans even antil
now, who find in this procedure of re-
freshing and stimulating tonic after the
exertion they have recently undergone.
Rhysiologically speaking, too, according
to this writer, a cold plunge or aonche
taken inmediately after the physical eff
fort, when the skin is acting freely and
there is a sense Of heat throughout the
body, is as rational as in the experience
of the athlete It is beneiicial--is paral-
leled. IN Fact, by the toniu effect produced
by the cold plunge when the skin is
actively secreting after Turkish bath,
and finds its rationale doubtless in stimu-
lating the nervous system, in the m
crease of internal circulation, and also
IN the renewal of activity to the cuta-
neOus circulation after the momentary
contraction of blood vessels dine TO the
cold The popular belief presumably
rests on the injurious effects which may
be induced by the bath in ono who does
mot resort to it Immediately, but allows
time for the effects OF fatigue to show
themselves ON the muscles and nerves
and for the surfaee of the body to get
cool; taken then, the bath is more likely
to 1epress than TO stimulate; there is less
power of reaction and greater liability
to internal inflammation-,a warm bath
rather than cold one, at such time
being more suitable and more safe,
