capacity came from the State capital to-day to
personally investigate the condition OF !, 900

Heathcote of the Strike Committee and his col
leagues had written letter to the Governor
telling him that the former employees OF the
company who were out OF work were starving
and that their families we're suffering for want
of the necessities of life.
After a thorough investigation the Governor
found that the statement OF the condition Of tho
idle men In Pullman and Its vicinity, who went
out on strike several months ago. was not exag-
gerated. He also found that there was no
longer any. strike at pullnlan-that all the
old men had been applying daily for work for
the last ten days. All not employed are now

Typhus levers are often traced Os the result of the lower intestines being clogged up with orange or lemon seeds which are equally dangerous in resist ing the gastric juices of the stomach, and sometimes germinate after being swallowed before leaving the body.
 Little children, especially should be taught the utmost care in the eat ing of grapes or other fruit to see that the seeds are rejected. It is in the grape counties of California where the most fatalities from the causes here cited are traced. and perhaps a close investigation in hundreds of cases would result in explaining the swal- lowing of fruit seeds as the primary cause and origin of fatal disease.

Improper Eating of Fruit.

There are certain persons, says the New York Ledger, who seem to have a mild sort of mania for queer gastro- homie performances. They pride themselves on their ability to bolt all sorts of curious edibles and seem to think it an accomplishment to swal- low the cores, seeds, stems and other portions of fruit, which are usually discarded. In view of the fact that a number of deaths have occurred dur ing the last few years, from the seed of fruit, it might be we'll for parents to give attention to the diet of their children in this respect. A severe and lingering attack of gastritis was recently caused by chewing and swal- lowing the stems of apples. The woody fiber ground into tiny sliSers penetrated the coatings Of the stomach and the patient had very marrow es- cape from death. Peach-pits, plum pits and cherry-pits are frequently swallowed by children, of course with out the slightest comprehension of the injury which may follow

A SUB TIE HEVENGR.

Those who have thought that President
Cleveland's great and good dark friend
would not emerge from the shadow cast
upon her by the discovery that her great
and good white friend couldn't keep his
promise to her have been mistaken. She
will emerge. She will not accept the sug-
gestion that has been made that she appear
in dime museums and moral shows, but
she will do worse. She will appear on
the lecture platform, and her first sppsar-
ance will be made in this country. 1t is
an appropriate and an adequate revenge
that she is about to intliot on MS for what
we have done to her. She will be under
the management of an Indiana doctor, and
the plan Is to start the hesperformsnce at
San Francisco and continue 1t all
over the lard. If the Indiana doc
tor Is good manager he will
fix it 30 that his dusky star will travel un-
der "tne auspices" of her great and good
white friend at Washington. Her great
and good white friend at Washington hay
ing been compelled to break his promise to
seat her on q throne, would naturally be
willing enough to do what he could to sue
cessfully seat or stand her ON the lecture
platform. And when she lectures in
Washington he will doubtless be given
complimentary tickets. If her tour is not
as prolific in dollars as she hopes 1t will be
it will not to because she doesn't have
enough advertising. She will have more
free advertising than any lecturer of mod
ern times. In witness whereof we have
hereunto set our hand to q part of our own
quota thereof
