HISTORICAL NOTES.

Lana, as early as 1875, accurately
described the differential thermometer
and told how one should be made.
The earliest method of spinning was
by punching few fibres and rolling
them into thread with the hands.
On the evening of Auugst 81, 1868,
banquet was given to the Chinese en-
bassy at old ST. James Hotel in Boston.
An idea of the intellectual feast may
be gathered when it is said that speeches
were made by Mayor Shurtletf, Arson
Burlingam9, Governor Bullock, Charles
Somner, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Cen

President Fillmore, who succeeded
Taylor, held the usual number of Off
cial levees, but because of their formal
ity they We're voted monotonous. He
was elegant, but cold; he gave many
official dinners, but he rarely accepted
an invitation to outside hospitality I'M
less it was proffered by Cabinet min
lister. 1t was during his administra-
ton that plans were formulated for the
extension of the Capitol, and the COR
ner-stone of the present superb building
was laid Mr.. Fillmore on this occa-
sion wore the same regalia and used the
identical gavel which Washington had
used fifty eight years before in laying
the cornerstone of the original struc-
ture. Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian
patriot, visited the United States DUR
ing this administration, and his pres
ence was the signal for unusual hospi-
tality, not merely in Washington, but
throughout the country, of which he
was regarded the guest.
Historians who have delved amid
English state archives and other orig
inal records inform us that the Ulster
massacre of 1641 involved only few
hundred lives; that religion had very
little to do with it; that English set

gents outside of it slew several hundred
persons, not for being professionals, but
for being land pirates and what an

the awful carnage. Burton and Tenn

mates there We're in Ireland at the time
only 220, 900 Protestants. If they were
extirpated or even deoimated, on the
night of October %, 1641, is it not
strange that the Lords Justices made
no mention of the slaughter in their
dispatches during the subsequent two
months? These dispatches are extant,
bearing dates of October 25, November
20 and ~, and December 90, 1911. AS
matter of demonstrated fact, the al

thought, fabrication inspired and
elaborated by greedy Adventures, who
had got, or desired to get, possession
of Irish estates.

DONT'S FOR THE SICK ROOM.

Don't light sick room at night by
means of jet of gas burning low;
nothing impoverishes the air sooner.
Use sperm candles, or tapers which
burn in sperm oil.
Don't allow offensive matters to re-
main; in cases of emergency, where
these cannot be at once removed, wiring
a heavy cloth, for instance, like Turk
ish towelling, out of cold water, use it
rs cover, placing over this ordinary
paper. Such means prevent the escape
of odor and infection.
Don't forget to have few beans of
coffee handy, for this serves as deo-
doriser if burnt on Goals or paper. Bits
of charcoal placed aorund are useful in
absorbing gases and other impurities
Don't have the temperature of sick
room over seventy degrees.
Don't permit currents of air to blow
upon the patient. An open air fire.
excellent means of ventilation. The
current may be tested by burning a
piece of paper III front.
Don't give the patient full glass of
water to drink from, unless he is allow
ed all he desires. If he can drain the
glass he will be satisfied, so regulate
the quantity before handing it to him.
Don't neglect during the day to
attend to necessaries for the night, that
the rest of the patient and the family
may not be disturbed.
Don't ask convalescent if he would
like this or that to eat or drink, but
prepare the delicacies and present them
in tempting way.
Don't throw coal upon the fire; place
it in brown paper bags and lay them on
the fire, thus avoiding the noise, which
is shocking to the sick and sensitive.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or sit
ting upon it. This is unpleasant to one
ill and nervous.
Don't let stale flowers remain in
sick chamber.

Abbott commenced to fight by landing a
sharp body blow. Some heavy in-fghting
followed near the ropes, Abbott doing the
best hitting In "A clinch, honors were
easy. Both men landed right and left and
Abbott went to his corner with mark on
his left eye.
In the second round Everhardt landed
his left on the stomach. The Englishman
seemed TO confne his fighting principally
to the body, and both men landed blows
on the head. Abbott landed left ON the
face and ran away from return. The
Englishman scored two lefts as the gong
ended the round.
The fight continued with but slight
variation to the eighth round when Alb
bott in a hot rally in the center of the ring
apparently had the better of it and landed
frequently on his opponents face.
In the ninth round there were some hot
fighting, and in the 10th and 11th rounds
Abbott had much the best of il, knocking
Everhardt down with left in the face.
From this time up to the Goth round, Alb
bott was in the best condition.
From the 22d TO the 2ith, the fighting
was furious. Everhardt improved in con-
dition, while Abbott looked tired.
In the 25th round Abbott was knocked
out, after having been knocked down a
half-dozen times. During the last part of
the contest Everhardt fouled Abbott sew
eral times, but no notice was taken of it.

COMMITTEE DIDN'T REPORT
Where Will the Proposed New Build
ing Be Erected

For more than month, the me m bers of
the st. Jean Baptiste Society of Central

buy building or a lot and erect new
building.

attend to the matter, Meesrs. Damase
Collette, f. X. Lamarine, 80. Collette,
Joseph Masse and Fred Hsvey.
1t now appears that the members of this
committee entirely disagree as to the
property TO be bought. Three mem bers
are in favor OF purchasing from Prudent
Huot the building ut the corner of
Foundry and Broad 81 reefs, or, II II be i'm.
possible To agree upon this building, the
lot OF MIR. Huot at the corner OF Sheridan
and Broad and extending to the railroad
line.
The two other members are in favor OF
purchasing the lot OF Vilbon Monast
which is also on Broad street, between
the two Huot lots.
The question Is entirely In the hands of
the committee of five and II is more than
probable that two reports, a majority and
minority one, Will be submitted To the
mem rers al the next meeting.
II Is rumored that so nc OF the mem 0ers
OF the committee have bsen offered

other.

ISITlLL FOR?
Special Meeting of The
Aldermen Tonight.
MEMBERS ARE IGNORANT,
But Several Important Matters Are
Liable to Come Up.

A special session OF the Board OF Alder
been convened by His Honor Mayor
riepke. All OF the Aldermen plead ignor.
ance of the matters which It is proposed
to act upon and for which the meeting has
been called. 1t Is safe To say, however,
that the meeting OF the Finance Commit
tee has had little TO do with IL.
At the last meeting OF the committee
the High school matter was partially con-
sidered but was laid aside because OF the
absence of Chairman Deany. An under
standing had been practically arrived at,
however, but in MIR. Dalany's absence the
other members did not like to formally
vote upon it.
II is expected that report will be sent
TO the Board tonight upon that subject.
There are great many things to be
acted upon from the Cty Council, among
which is the ordinance extending the
time 81 closing stores until II o'clock.
There are also some sewer and highway
matters pending, and the question of
paving Dexter street with granite blocks
or some other suitable material Is to be
considered and acted upon.
In view Of certain events that transpired
recently 1t would not be surprising II a
resolution was formally introduced to re.
init the fnes of two officers who were
fined s25 each at the beginning of the
year, and It ought To be granted unless Il
like rigid rule is applied all round
All In all, the meeting promises to be a
spicy and interesting one. IL a few more
highway vetoes descended upon their
heads some of the members would not be
surprised, especially In view OF what was
construed as the inspired warring utter
ance OF President Pierce at the meeting OF
the Common Council week ago this
evening.

O'DETTE FINED $40.
Judge Has No Love For
Wife BeaterS.
APPEAL FROM SENTENCE.
The Wife Says the Whole Affair is a
Blacbmailing Scheme.
APPEAL FROM SENTENCE.

The case OF Arthur O'Dette, charged
with assaulting his wife Catherine, came
up by continuance before Judge Shove in
the District Court this morning. O'Dette
was represented by James Il. Bsnigan
and Mrs. O'Dette by Hugh j. Carroll.
The complaint was made on Aug. IL and
Mrs. O'Dette says the assault was COM
mitted Aug. 7. She said he beat, kicked
and generally III used her and that her
limbs were black and blue from the rough
treatment.
Mrs. Howard, sister OF Mrs. O'Dette,
testified that Mrs. O'Dette told her that
she had been assaulted by her husband.
O'Dette testified that he did not strike
or kick her, but that she came home on
Aug. Z after an absence OF six days and he
wanted her TO explain where she had been.
She refused and he went to grip she had
taken with her TO ind evidence OF where
she spent the time.
When he did this she ran up to him and
grabbed him. He was STOPPING over and
raised up quickly, throwing her against a
door. That was the only assault of any
kind that he knew OF.
MIR. Banlgan made a very lengthy and
somewhat sensational plea ana Mr. Car
roll submitted the case without argument.
The court said that when O'Dette was first
arraigned he pleaded guilty and admitted
that he struck his wife, and as he was not
verv lenient 10 wife beaters he would fine
the defendant go and costs.
An appeal was taken.
Miss O'Dette, her sister, and Matron
jerks OF the police station had examined
Mrs. O'Dette and testified TO her injuries.
Mrs. O'Dette claims that her husband is
bad man and that he has frequently
beaten her and that this is pure black
mailing scheme.
