and will take my turn with them and let
you rest. 1t was my turn for watch when
we reached San Francisco. The boat was
boarded by the hotel runners. who wanted
everybody to come to their respective
houses. My two fellows and one of kretch-
er's men were jokers and had been having
sport all the way down the river. When
the hotel men approached and asked them
to come to their hotels they found fault
with the manner In which the hotels had
been run when they were there before, and
In spite Of all entreattss declared they would
not go back. When they were asked where
they were going to stop they would let their
chains fall with q great deal Of clanking on
the deck and say they were going to put
up at the State Hotel.

to prevent the adulteration Of milk 1t was
found that the health regulations and the
act of Congress of October IL, $780, In re-

JUDGE CALDWELL DID 1T.


Stood Up for Santa Fe Employees Against
Wheeler H Peckham-
ST.. LOUIS, April ia Globe Demo-
crat special from Washington says:
Judge Caldwell, about whose rulings
in the Santa Fe cases the country is man
ifesting SO much interest, defeated
Wheeler III. Peckham for the United
States supreme bench few weeks ago.
The authority for this sweeping state
ment comes from the senators who re-
versed their previous intentions and
voted against Peckham- These senators
are Republicans. They made the major
ity by which the nomination was re-
jected- At the time the Peckham case
was about to come before the senate the
Globe-Democrat published a letter which
Peckham had sent to Judge Caldwell. as
follows:
New YORK, December 26, 1893.-To
Hon. Henry G. Caldwell, Little Rock,
Ark. Union Trust company repudiates
and will not accept conditions of your
order appointing receivers. No one has
authority to take or enter order with such
conditions.
(Signed) WHEELER n. PECKHAM.
When the Atchison railway system
went under receivership Mr.. Peckham
was, as he still is, counsel for the Union
Trust company of New York, which re-
presented the bondholders Of the rail
road. These bondholders, it is alleged,
desired to repudiate the wages of the
labOrers and the accounts of creditors
who had recently furnished supplies.
Judge Caldwell, before whom the appli-
cation was made, insisted that laborers'
wages and debts incurred for supplies
should be paid in full by the receivers,
and caused such conditions to be attach
ed to the order. But Mr.. Peckham
thought he knew more than the court
did, and was very indignant because of
these conditions.
Judge Caldwell made reply to Peck
ham, but it was not sent by mail. 1t was
plain statement of the situation which
had prompted the Peckham letter. The
judge intrusted it to personal friend
western man of national repute. This
man came to Washington and laid the
information before certain Republican
senators, who, up to that time, had taken
but little interest in the case and were
inclined to help confirm Peckham. They
saw at once the unfitness of Peckham
and his strong bias toward corporations.
They decided to vote against him. Judge
CaldwelPs immediate agency in the re-
lection has not been told until now.

After 1.-TWO Painful and Improbable
Years" He RetIres.
A special dispatch to the Boston Jour
nal from Worcester, Mass, says:
Rev. Frank B. Vrooman, who has been
pastor of Salem Street Congregational
church since May 1, 1892. read his resig-
nation this morning. In his letter he
said: "In rendering my resignation for
your action this morning, have not seen
fit to offer detail of my reasons. They
are too painful and they are obvious. A
recital of the facts which led to them
would be unworthy that spirit of
magnanimity in which l desire
to meet you, and in which your
committee has met me. My associations
with you have been too intimate during
these two years for me to do other than
all in my power at any cost to further
the interest of church in which | have
spent two of the least profitable and
most painful years of my life" Rev.
MIR. Vrooman succeeded Rev. Isaac j.
Lansing, now pastor of Park church of
Boston, at Salem Street church.
The above dispatch fails to expla in
what the trouble is about, and it is doubt
full if the mystery will be explained for
some days yet.

CUTTING THE ABDOMEN.

Doctors Discuss What They Would Do
When 1t Becomes Necessary.
At the meeting of the eastern Kansas
Medical society in Topeka last night.
DR.. Emory Lanphear, of Kansas City,
Mo-, read paper entitled: ssAfter Treat
ment of Abdomenal Section" He said
after surgical operation on the abdo-
men, morphine was not the proper thing
to use to deaden the pain. He recon-
mended applying three wide adhesive
bands about the body and covering the
wound. He also said that he did not al
low anyone else except the nurse, TO see
the patient till after four days.
Dr. j. +. Minney said: 1T Is not a
good thing to keep them away till after
the fourth day, for sometimes the under
taker gets to see them before that.
DIR. j. +. Binnie, of Kansas City, did
not believe in the theory of starvation as
advocated by some. The day after the
operation he would administer some
chicken broth. Dr. M. B. Ward said he
didn't believe in putting those adhesive
bands around the body. They would be
very painful and cause blisters.
DIR. B. d. Eastman read a paper on,
"For What Are We Indebted TO Dr.
Brown-Sequard?y The two most impor-
were the 'sdual mind,' and the '.elixir."
1t seemed to be the sentiment of the
society that Brown-Sequard had greatly
aided the medical profession
ssThere was Symposium led by DIR.
J. f.. Minney on the subject, Immunity"
He said: There is no absolute immunity
from disease
He gave a very short talk, but the dis
cussion was participated in by many
physicians.

were elected unanimously: Doctors K
E. McVey, president; Geo. M. Gray of
