Courageous Confidence.

The following exhibition u coura-
geous confidence in ones own self and
ones own conclusions, has rarely ever
been equaled so fur as is known IN
the brief life time Of The News:
Twelve doctors met in New York
short time ago to witness a remarka.
bic experiment DR.. Vim. Moore had
discovered what he claimed TO be a
positive and unfailing antidotc e
morphine and similar poi,ons. In the
presence Of his fellow physicians be
weighed out three grains Of the drug,
an amount certainly fatal Notwith.
standing their protests, and though
several Of them left the room, unwill.
ing to witness his suicide, the conf
dent discoverer swallowed the poison,
Immediately afterwards swallowing
four grains Of the antidote, porman-
ganate Of potassium The effect Of
the poison so far as the doctors could
discover, was completely neutralized.
Through the following five hours Of
their deliberations, no brain was
clearer than DIR. Moores, and no one
more bright and cheerful. It has long
been known that permaBganate OF po-
tassium will rapidly destroy organic
matter, and DR. Moore's discovery is
that the peimanganate, though sur
rounded by the organic matter Of the
stomach, has far more ready affinity
for morphine, and will decompose It
several hundred times more rapidl;
than it will destroy the contents Of
the stomach. This bold experiment
confirms what will doubtless prove TO
be an exceedingly valuable discovery,
and the experiment itself is an equally
valuable illustration Of courageous
confidence in ones self and ones con.
illusions. 1t will rank in history by
the side of the noblest examples of
medical heroism.

openly admitted her disgrace, and she
asks the courts that Mr.. Breckenridge
be made 10 bear his share. Is this
anything more than justice2
But it is given out that Miss Pol.
lard will write a book. THE News
hopes nor. When the trial is oyer the
country will have had quite enough
of this malodorous and disgraceful
affair. She can do Mr.. Breckenridge
no good in her book. She cannot
bring back the glory and fame Of the
Breckenridge name to his home, aud
she can gain no more sympathy for
herself than she has gained in the
trial. II her object is to make money
by rehearsing her shame and disgrace
before the public, let her name for,
ever perish and let the sympathy
given her in the trial forever end
when her story has been put up in
cold, telltale type.

PUBLIC attention during the week
has been concentrated upon the ques-
ton of the disposition of the Bland
seigniorage bill by the President.
Strong protests against executive APP
proyal of the bill haYe been made by
many of the most influential CONNER
cial bodies in the country. Among
these is the New York Chamber of
Commerce, which at special meeting
this week adopted strong memorial
condemning the measure in vigorous
terms. The memorial points out that
instead Of there having been any gain
upon the purchases of silver made un-
der the act of 1890, there has been on
the basis Of the present market price
of silver a loss of 80. 94c. on every
ounce Of silver purchased under the
act, and that instead Of there being a
gain Of $50, 156,581, as assumed in
the bill, there has been really loss
of SAG, 345, 500. The bill, the memo
rial continues, proposes to capitalize
this actual loss by an additional issue
of obligations, the effect Of which will
be to diminish the security, already
inadequate, for the redemption of the
Treasury notes now outstanding. Res
olutions Of the same general tenor as
respects the judgment passed upon
the proposed Legislation have been
adopted BY the other protesting com
mercial bodies Bradstreet's.

THE VETO.

The President vetoed the Bland
seigniorage bill This brings no sur
prise. When the West and South, its
strongest supporters, have time to di-
gest the bill with its imperfections
and antiquities, and when they have
read and carefully weighed the rea-
sons which prompted the President to
his action, they will not feel so I'M
comfortable as they imagine they feel,
and they will not see such dire dlsas-
tiers to the party as they think they
foresee in the distance at this the
first glance of observation.

The water kept busy at the work as
signed. The knots began to growl
The water laughed and rolled on. The
knots stood tip-toe on the log and
said: ave are the ones doing all the
good work, the water is doing nothing
but making a noise" The water
laughed and with a sparkling eye went
leaping, jumping on its Joyous mis-
sion.
BY and by the thirsty came up.
They saw the knots, smiled and pass
ed on. They drank of the water and
were glad. The knots growled again
but the thirsty praised the water.
Moss is growing on the knots; the
water, Joyous and happy,is rolling on
forever.
In politics there are knots sitting
on the back Of the party, claiming,
claiming; yes, claiming all the honora
while the water rolls on taking the
blessings every day to the thirsty.
The News needs not point out the
moral of this little story.

THE editor of an exchange has dis
covered that this is very peculiar
world, and described the situation as
follows: "One man is struggling for
justice and another is fleeing from it.
One man is saving to build a house
and another is try ing to sell his for
less than it cost him, to get rid of it.
One man is spending all the money
he can make in taking a girl to the
theatre and sending her flowers, in the
hope eventually of making her his
wife, while his neighbor is spending
all the gold he has trying to get di-
vorce. One man escapes all diseases
that man is heir to and gets killed on
the railway, another escapes without
scratch and dies of whooping cough.
One man STAYED off his creditors to go
to the Worlds Fair, while another
paid his debts and staid at home"

have $50 people, I25 horses, 10 cages of
animals, three open dens in parade, three
golden cars, two bands of music, and an
extra strong ring performance. Mr.. Will
liam 0. Dale, for many years the principal
bareback rider for Barnum, will be one Of
their features, and another feature will be
a giant-elephant the largest in this country.
The following is from the New York Clipper

-. ID. Harrison, a former Henderson
newspaper man. but now connected with
Scribner & Smiths New York circus, is in
the city. After endeav oring for two years,
Harrison has succeeded in obtaining pos
session, for his firm, of the largest elephant
in the world, Bszal. The beast was bought
by Scribner & Smiths foreign agent from q
Hindoo trader two years ago at Tassisudon,
Bhotan, India, but the authorities there
would not allow the animal to be removed.
After almost endless red tape, Harrison
succeeded in winning the MshAraj ah's ia
vor and that dignitary ordered the anthori-
ties not to interfere with the elephants
removal and the brute is now with Scribner
& Smiths big show.

THE FANS OF JAPAN.
lronware Fans, Water Fans, Court Fan
3D.. and Peculiar Fans For Jugglers.

lrOnware Fans, water Fans, Court Fans
and Peculiar Fans For Jugglers.
The japanese uchiwa, or fiat fan, at
home and in history is much more inter
esting object than the modern sIAcimen Of
its kind in an English room. TIE Spccta-
tor says that one of it's most curious varic-
ties is the iron war fan, invented in the
eleventh century for the use of military
commanders, either for direction and sig
mailing or as shield for defense. These
fiat fans were made of leather and iron, one
side being vanished with rcd lacquer, with
the emblem of Buddha and some other ma
tive device.
The water fans are made of bamboo and
thinly lacquered, SO that they may be dip
ped in water to secure extra GOODNESS while
tanning Another kind of uchiwa is the
revolving fiat fan, which whirls round it's
stick and can be rolled up. Another strong
flat paper fan is used as bellows to blow
the charcoal fire in the kitchen.
Among the folding fans, or ogi, the hi
wood fans are the most beautiful. They
are painted with flowers and tied with
white silk. Anciently they were hung
with artificial flowers made Of silk. These
were the court fans, and different flowers
were appropriated by different great fam
lilies, so that fan answered the purpose Of
arrnorial bearings. Folding fans also
served the purpose of ensigns in war, and
on enormous fan, mita ogi (giant FAM,
was carried in professions in honor Of the
sun goddess.
Children and dolls have fans Of their
own, as exquisite rs they are tiny. Dane
ers and jugglers carry peculiar fans. There
Is q tea fan, rikin, used at the ancient tea
ceremony, q solemn feast among the jap
anese. This is not for the undignifled pur-
pose of tanning, but for handing little
cakes. The ogi fan is vulgarized nova
days by being covered with European ad-
vcrtiscments, and till newspapers found
their way into Japan it was the only ga
zettc. 1t was also used as medium for
caricaturcs, chiefly of western manners.
