Tweed'S Life in Prison,

The recent death of the artist, Theodore
X. Davis calls to mind his achievements
when in his prime, one of which may be
mentioned as illustrating his ability to
obtain information in circumstances which
would have deferred or baffled a less re-
sourceful man
Towards the close of the year 1874, when
William NJ. Tweed Boss" Of the in
famous New York Ring" was in con-
hnement on Blackwell's Island, it was
reported as grave scandal that he received
indulgences, and was allowed liberties that
completely subverted the purpose and
intent OF his sentence. 1t seemed impos-
slble, however, to obtain trustworthy in
formation upon this point until Mr. Davis
determined to visit the island in the char
acter OF an electrical engineer, as though
his purpose had been to inspect the tele-
graph wire connecting the Penitentiary
with the Fifty-ninth Street Station and
Police Headquarters. His ruse was COM
pletely successful. Suspicion being di-
verified from himself by these means, he
made sketches, in which he gave an accur-
ate representation of the Penitentiary life
of Tweed as contrasted with that of less
fortunate criminals. These drawings were
engraved, and printed in Harper's Weekly
Tor Nov IA, 1874, and the same issue con-
tanned vigorous editorial article ON g The
Statesman Retreat" Governor Dix
wrote to the Weekly to inform himself in
regard to the precise nature and extent OF
Mr.. Davis operations and, as a result of
what he learned in this way put an end to
the scandalous favoritism.

KEEPING APPLES IN A CELLAR.

Apples intended for wintering in the
cellar or for home use, should not be placed
there until cold weather. and during their
journey from the tree should be handled
with great care, to avoid abrasion of the
skin, or bruises which often prove as
destructive as when the skin is broken.
Such bookkeeping varieties as russets may,
if in good order, be placed directly in bar
rels and not again handled until ripe in
March or April
1t is best to place other varieties in
bushel boxes or upon hanging shelves and
then not more than five or six deep, so that
they may be looked over occasionally and
the damaged or decayed ones removed. If
the cellar is naturally dry, causing the
fruit to shrivel then place near to or
directly upon the cellar bottom where it
is, OF course, cooler and more moist. How
ever if damp and liable to cause mold or
induce decay, then remove them as far as
possible from the floor, as the dryest
atmosphere rises to the ceiling. During
the winter if an apple shows the least
signs of decay remove it and at once use it
in any available manner desired.

Specimen Cases.

S. II. Clifford, New Cassel, Wisconsin,
was troubled with neuralgia and rheuma-
tism, his stomach was disordered, his
liver was affected to an alarming degree,
appetite fell away, and he was terribly
reduced in flesh and strength. Three
bottles of Electric Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, ILL.,, had
running sore on his leg of eight years
standing. Used three bottles of Electric
Bitters and seven bottles of Bucklen's
Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and
we'll John Speaker, Catawba, Ohio, had
five large fever sores on his leg; doctors
said he was incurable. One bottle Electric
Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve
cured him entirely. Sold by X. B. Frazer,

PAIN in ANIMALS.
1t Cannot Be Measured by the Standards
Employed by Men.

Professor Penberthy, at the twelfth meet
ing of the National Veterinary Association
held in London, read "A very thoughtful
essay on Pain; Its Indications and Signi-
iicance in the Domesticated Animals" He
first considered the true meaning of the
word pain and the relation of painful
and like stimuli to action. In man, the
sense and variety of whose nervous energies
are so wonderful, and stimulus of sensations
of pain or apprehension has consequences
out of all relation to those in lower
animals.
We cannot, therefore, measure the effects
of pain in lower animals by the standard of
man. Stimuli which causes intellectual
agitation in man are incomparably more
painful than those which in animals result
simply in motion, as in the flight of a hare,
for example, though a superficial observer
may regard the latter as more pitiable at is
as natural for fox to run before his enemies
and to exercise all the faculties necessary to
escape, as it is for a man to 90 home and
lock his door at night" Intensity or
amount of pain depends, the writer adds,
upon the power of realization of ideas pre-
sentative and representative; this intensity
than in animals, in whom the same
material of mind does not even exist.
1T would indeed, be a source of the
most horrible contemplation to admit that
the lower animals have the same sense of
pain as highly -civilized man." Professor
Penberthy goes on to show that without
pain to lower animals, and to men also
there could be no advance in civilization
The cost must be animal and human suf-
fering." To say that knowledge of ply
slology is not essential to the prevention
and treatment of disease is absurd, and it
is equally absurd to point to individual
experiments as useless because their value
is not patent to certain men and women of
limited minds and education
If it be urged that experiments on ami
mails leads to no direct knowledge of man,
Professor Penberthy well says that veteri-
narians, though challenging the statement,
of course, are not concerned to give any
answer to it. The essay is singularly
thoughtful, temperate and broad-minded
contribution to very important and try
ing subject and one which is highly honor
able to the veterinary profession of the day.

HOW THE APE RESEMBLES MAN.

Down on Friend street, in small third
story room, over carpenter shop, there
gathered about long and narrow table
several of the best known doctors in the
country. Before them lay the body of
Gumbo, the ape, which had been in the
dime museum of Stone x Shaw for the last
six months and died of tuberculosis. The
managers OF the museum, believing that it
would be OF great scientific value to hold an
autopsy on the beast that in so many ways
resembles the human being asked DR.. w.

Harvard University; Professor Thomas
Dwight, professor of anatomy at Harvard,
and DIR. Franklin Dexter. an authority on

Dr. Councilman, assisted by Drs. Dexter
and Prescott, performed the actual operation
of examining the body, beginning with the
intestines. 1t was found that the most viru-
lent tuberculosis had spread through the
intestines and that evidences of the disease
were everywhere present. 1t was inter
esting to note that DIR. Councilman made
the statement that tuberculosis is most
prevalent among apes. and said that most
of the apes in this country die of thai
disease 1t is also fact that one-seventb
of the human race die from tubercu

careful analysis revealed the fact that the
spleen, kidneys and liver of the ape were
especially affected by the disease An ex-
animation of the lungs and heart then fol-
lowed, and it was found that one of the
lungs was destroyed,

Hero of the Fires.


Since the Johnstown food no calam-
ity in this country has carried with it
the horrors that could equal the scenes
during the terrible forest fires of Min
nesota. The condition of the unfortu.
nate victims of the conflagration sur
rounded by clouds of flame from which
there was no escape, is something
that can scarcely be realized.
More merciless and sudden than
black death the sea Of fire
burst upon the helpless people, giving
no time for preparation for the newt
able doom that awaited them. 1t will
probably be days yet ere the full horror
the disaster will be known. Relief
parties and burial trains find new vic
tins almost hourly, and the death list
is swelling at each additional report.
Like other calamities of a terrible
nature, the Minnesota horror has de.
veloped the hero. In marked contrast
with the fiendish ghouls who have al
ready been discovered roaming over
the devastated region, robbing the
dead of the few trinkets that remained
about their charred bodies, is the hero
ism of Engineer Best, who ran his
train into burning village, and after
taking on number of fleeing people
backed the cars to a place Of safety
while the flames of the burning cab on
his engine blistered his hands and face.

more worthy of a memorial statue than
this brave man who fell faintlng at

DISPATCHES from Bluefields would
seem to indicate that the festive Ameri-
can and British residents of tropical
Nicaragua need alittle correction from
home governments. In this, as well
as other countries of its class, the white
settlers are altogether too free to mix
into politics. They are prone to take
sides with this or that petty aspirant
for political honors, and when their
heads are in danger, hurriedly rush to
the ships that guard their country's in
terests in the foreign ports and demand
protection. There is too much Of this
nonsense going on in countries ruled
by little monarchs or chiefs, and it seems
about time that these ambitious poll
ticians who are constantly drawing
United States authorities into trouble
by meddling with the affairs of the
countries in which they are temporarily
residing, should be made to understand
that if they must mix in affairs of state
it will be safer for them to return to
this country where ward politics offer
ample opportunity for a display of
craftsmanship of that order, without
involving half SO much trouble.

In HIS speech at Peru last week, for
mallyinitiating the Indiana campaign,
Hon. w. D. Owen elucidated one point
in this "tariff reform" campaign that
is frequently overlooked. "Load ship
with freight at Liverpool" said he,
"bring the vessel to New York, and
when you have paid for the freightage
unload that vessel, transfer that cargo
of products to a train of q cars and have
the railroad carry it into the interior of
the country as far as the amount you
paid for the ocean freight will carry it.
How far do you suppose it will take it?
About sixty miles. England is sixty
miles from the United States. Wages
in England, on the average, are 81 per
cent. cheaper than in this country. If
the purposes of Wilson and Cleveland
shall be carried out and the Protective
tariff barriers torn down, how long will
we be able to produce goods against the
country that pays 81 per cent. less
wages than we do?" 1t is well to bear
this pertinent question in mind.

The Wane of Summer.

The individual who has not con-
suited the almanac with regularity can
scarcely realize that the summer of
1894 has passed and that autumna
days are upon us. 1t is seldom in the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant
that the waning of summer has been
marked by the serenity of the present
season.
Through June, July and August the
sun has shone in undimmed splendor;
the temperature has been high and
higher, never, as it is wont in ordinary
summers, dropping suddenly down to

The cordial and unanimous selection
at Harrisburg, yesterday, of Vice Pres
ident Everett Warren, of this city, for
president Of the State League of Re-
publican clubs, in succession to Repre-.
sentative John B. Robinson, was a
compliment worthily bestowed. 1t
tlatters Scranton; it rewards its recipi-
ent for good and steady service in the
league ranks; and, most of all, 1t is the
token of what we believe will be new
and happy era in the history of the
league itself.
Asked his opinion Of the State league
and its work, Major Warren recently
said: at can be made an admirable
auxiliary in the education of the
younger voters in Republican prin-
ciples; but the league should remain
within its proper province and not
permit itself to be used as the nursery
forany mans personal ambitions. 1 do
not mean by this that the Republican
who Is earnest and efficient in league
work should necessarily be debarred
from hope of party preferment. But L
regard it as q false notion that the league
should be restricted in its scope to the
campaign necessities of any man or
number of men who would like to use
the league merely as a means to the
attainment of their own ends. NV
idea of loyalty is so strong that, rather
than be the means of crippling the use
fulness of this splendid organization of
the aggressive young Republicanism of
our commonwealth, l would willingly
forego any political aspirations of my
own which might clash with the
leagues best interests; and think this
should be the spirit throughout
This, pithily expressed, is President
Warren's platform; and backed by his
earnest and aggressive personality, it
ought to mean much in league circles.
The danger of the league lies in the
fear that it may not become practical.
The young blood of the Republican
party in this commonwealth is in no
danger of failing with respect to en-
thusiasm; but enthusiasm without ex-
perience, without organization, with
out system, purpose and discretion, is
of minor value. If hard work, clear
aim and the faculty which inspires
Others to better achievement can i'm.
prove the everyday usefulness of the
State league and make it a more val
liable auxiliary than before, in the bat
ties of principle which are to be fought
under the banner of the Republican
party, President Warren will bring
these qualifications to his new position
of trust; and Republicanism every
where will be, by that much, the
gamer.

Hon. ". D. Queen, at Peru, Ind
When the Wilson letter was written,
men said we have another General Jack
son in the presidential chair. Mr.. Cleve-
land will never sign that bill after having
assailed it as he has. Had "Old Hickory"
been in the white house he would have
met the messenger from the senate bear
ing the bill on the front portico, written
across its back 'veto," Isaid goodbye to
the messenger with the tip Of his boot and
ordered him to report to his recreant mas
ters. In letting the bill become law
without his signature Mr.. Cleveland felt
the pressure of public condemnation, and
wrote letter of confession and avoidance
to General Catchings He again stigma
tized the bill as the ''communism of pelf"
But when he had written that letter on
Monday night he went to bed, when only
one word from him could have saved the
country. He was tired and went to bed.
and when the clock struck twelve and he
was slumbering in the arms Of official in
difference, the communism Of pelf, took
its seat in the presidential chair, and the
first recorded act in the drama of Demo
cratic reform was "perfidy and dishonor." D."

since lost its springtime freshness, yet

the nearness of autumn.

ANXIOUS MEMBERS of the local De-
mocracy who had hoped for an exhibi-
ton of wrath at Tuesdays convention
and expected to find the streets alive
with boilers yesterday haye been
grievously disappointed. Republicans
of Lackawanna county have one OBJ
ject in view this fall and that is the
planting Of Democracy so deep in hard
pan that it will never again take root.
Any little differences that may exist
within the lines of Republicanism will
not be adjusted in a manner that will
benefit the enemy this year. Patriotic
voters have other business on hand.
