Scarcely two months ago the
Evansville Sanitarium opened its
doors for the reception Of patients.
Its phenomenal success is the de-
monstration. both of the necessity
of such an institution and that it
has met the demands from the be-
ginning it has been filled with
patients. Most Of its cases have
been surgical and one hundred and
fifty operations have been success
fully performed to the present
time. Not a death has occurred
from a surgical operation. Many
medical cases especial nervous d.
seases have also been successfully
| treated which had failed to find re-
lief in their homes. Medical and
surgical cases except contagious
diseases are received. The build
ing was constructed expressly fol-
the kind Of work needed and is not

RUSSIAN PRISON DENS.
Remnants Terrible Tales Substantiated by Q
Russian officials Report.

Remnants Terrible Tales Substantiated by
Russian Officials Report.
The publication in Russia of the re.
port of DIR. Suschtchinski. a well-known
physician, showing the lamentable con.
dition of the famous-or infamous
prison of Tinman, is triumph for the
friends of truth and progress in that
country. Although it has been gener-
ally known outside Of Russia that its
penitentiaries lacked almost every.
thing which humanity had devised for
the alienation of the sufferings of
prisoners. Russians themselves, save
the unhappy wretches confined within
prison walls, have been kept IN ig'
norance of the true state of affairs.
Heretofore, books, magazines and pa
pers emanating from this and other
countries, with the slightest de-
rogatory reference to Russia and Rus
sian institutions, have been seized and
confscated by the censor. A great and
praiseworthy change has come upon
Russia when permission is granted to
spread broadcast report such as that
of DR.. Suschtchinski.
Over 90, 900 men and women are con-
fined annually in the prison Of Tinmen,
on their way to Siberia. Although the
building has only accommodations for
few hundred persons, in May, 1892,
2,4SO men and women were crowded
into the small and narrow quarters,
and in the hot days of the following
August there were still 900 in the pris-
on. In consequence of the overcrowd.
ing there was no room for the misera-
BILE creatures to lie down, and they
were obliged to stand up throughout
the night, packed so closely together
that they could scarcely breathe. In
the day time they were allowed
to move about in the prison
yard, or, the doctor says, ''they
would have been smothered." The
hospital, the physician admits, was
one only in name. For days at time
it was without water and the physi.
clans were unable to attend to the
sick The death rate under these de.
plorab BILE conditions was naturally
frightful. Cholera and other diseases
carried off the prisoners by the hun
dreds. Though eighty-nine thousand
rubles were added to the prison treas
ury in the last ten years, practically
nothing was expended to improve the
condition of the veritable death-house
Similar statements in the graphic
descriptions of George Kennan were
once strenuously denied by Russians,
but when a Russian physician is al
lowed to make the charges there is
reason to hope that the day is not far
distant when tales of inhuman treat
ment of prisoners will be as rare in the
land of the czar as in other civilized
countries.-N. Y. Tribune.

NAPOLEON AT AUSTERLiTZ.
Incidents of the Great BATTLE of the EN-
nerOrs' and Its Results.

Incidents of the Great "Battle of the EN-
perors'' and Its Results.
The story of how the great Napoleon
met and conquered the very flower of
the armies of the allied nations of the
old world, there arrayed against the
Frenchmen, is Il pretty story-in fact,
it is not story at all, but matter of
history Those who have read history
or the life of Napolean will remember
that his motto was punctual and i'm
plicit obedience to orders. With
Napolean five o'clock meant five o'clock
or before, not five minutes or one min
ute after five. One incident will be
found in NapOleOn's career where he
punished a favorite general. after hav-
ing publicly reprimandcd him, for ap-
pearing at certain bridge some ten
minutes later than he had been ordered
to appear there by his superior officer.
The general offered as an excuse that
the weather was rigorous. but NapO-
leon impetuously interfered with the
remark: Not too rigorous for me to
be here on time
The French troops had implicit con-
fidence in their leader. The night be-
fore the great battle of Austerlitz the
men sang patriotic songs until eau
toned that they were within earshot
of the enemy and must be silent, but
some time later when just before re-
tiring to his tent for the night-though
| it is said that Napoleon did not sleep
that great general passed among his
warriors outstretched on the ground.
Suddenly one enthusiastic soldier fast
| ened his little pallet of straw on his
| bavonet, fred it and tossed it in the
| air Others followed and the flames lit
up the entire country surrounding, car
rying to the enemy the news that the
| Frenchmen were near. Such action
was decidedly unjudicious, it is true,
but it showed the wonderful faith and
confidence tn soldiers had in their
general, whom they fairly worshipped,
| Iand at whose command they would face
without hinching what. at least, ap-
peared to be certain death.

NAPOLEON WANTED TO DIE.
His Only Attempt at Suicide Was Decreed
hY Fate to BE Unsuccessful.

His Only Attempt at Suicide Was Decreed
by Fate to Be Unsuccessful.
On one occasion, and on one occasion
only, did Napoleon Bonaparte attempt
to die by his own hand. 1t was at the
palace of Fontainbleau, while his alb
dication was pending. He had seen
Murat and Bernadotte and Ney desert
his cause. He had grieved over the
treachery of Marmont; had learned of
the occupation of Paris by the allies
troops; he had been driven to despera-
tion by the fierce revenge of the En-.
peror Alexander of Russia, who had re-
fused to treat with Napoleon or any
member of his family, and, last of all,
he had been informed that the woman
whom he had made his wife, the moth.
er of his child. after starting from Blois
to joint him, had been dissuaded from
doing so, and had remained at Orleans.
1t was then that his mighty spirit
gave way to the crushing weight of
treason in camp and family. He had
with him some poison, which he had
secured during the disastrous return
from Moscow. The temptation to die
the death of the elder Cato and of
Socrates was too strong for him. In
his own chamber he drank the poison,
and lay down in the full hope that he
had ended the stormiest career that
mortal ever followed. His hope was
deceived. The poison had lost it's
strength. He suffered the agonies Of
the damned for hours, but death did
not come.
His private surgeon, Yvan, was panic.
stricken, thinking it certain that should
the emperor die in that way, just then,
the allied powers, fearing the accusa-
ton of history, would make him a
fed, without doing anything to
relieve his masters suffering. But
slowly Bonaparte recovered, and
it is said that he always
expressed the belief that fate, having
prevented him from suicide, must have
other triumphs in store for his genius.
He signed the abdication which was SO
CALLING to his soul, giving up forever
the chance that his son might succeed
to Elba, in the full faith that his star
had not set save to rise again.
Ih1S talth did not desert him, even
after the final overthrow at Waterloo.
He went to st. Helena, believing that
he would come back again, as he had
come back from Elba. Hundreds Oh
thousands of Frenchmen had more OF
less sympathy with that hope. But
''perfidious Albion" had the arch-foe in
her clutches, and from her careful
watching he was never to escape.-N.
Y. Recorder.

The battle began at an early hour in

The battle began at an early hour in
the morning. Napoleon saw before
him more than 100000 of the very
flower of the army of Russia, Austria,
Germany, England and other nations,
while he had scarcely rs, 900 SCARED,
worried and not too well-fed or clothed
soldiers with which to face the seem
lngly overwhelming, better cared for
allied army of 100000 tried men, and
yet Napoleon won and all the nations
marveled thereat, though it is not
matter of history that he should have
won for the reason that his plans were
successfully carried out. because of the
implicit confidence of his soldiers and
their prompt obedience to each order
issued.
Some of Napoleon's generals differed
with the greatest of all generals Or
ders, but they did not stop to question
and carried out their instruction to the
letter. Napoleon threw his entire
army of $4,000 men first on the right
wing. then on the left, then on the
center. Several times the enemy was
fianked without knowing how the trick
had been accomplished, but, torn as
they might. the allies found confronting
them $4,000 men in a compact mass,
while to save themselves the generals
of the allied army could not swing
their 100000 into such position as to
face Napoleon's army at the same time.
That was the very trick Napoleon
wanted to play, While there were
100000 men arrayed against him, he
was fighting about onefourth that
number with a superior force behind
him. True, upon each maneuver he
faced fresh men, but never more men
than he threw against that particular
part of the allied armies.
He won because there was organiza.
ton, and the men who did the fighting
asked no questions as to the wisdom OF
this or that order, but simply knew
that the ultimate result to be achieved
was defeat of their enemy, and, being
properly organized and disciplined.
they accomplished the result aimed
at.-Chicago Herald.

HUNTING THE CHAMOlS.
An Animal That Is Very Keen-Scented and
Wary.

Wary.
Speaking generally, / am inclined to
think that the chamOis is not the pre-
ternaturally wary beast he is usually
represented to be. Of his comparative
Indifference to noises, as long as they
are not too loud, have already spoken.
Nor, in my opinion, is his eyesight any
thing remarkable. Judging from his
failure to distinguish objects, such as
a mans head or hand, as long as they
are motionless, should say that the
organs of vision of chamOis are scarcely
more acute than those of human beings.
On the other hand, their sense of smell
is quite extraordinary; hence the wind
is by far the worst enemy of the hunter.
The shifting eddies and currents, blow
ing now this way, now that, now up
hill, now down, multiply tenfold the
chances in favor of the game.
I have often asked friends of mine
who have hunted in various countries
as to the distance at which deer and
other wild animals can scent a human
being, and most of them seem to be
agreed that they will wind you more
than mile off. I have certainly seen
chamois over half mile distant make
off in alarm when they could not possi-
ply have seen anything to disturb them.
1t is curious, too, how much more the
hunters odor seems to terrify them
than the mere sight of him. In the
