How the Late Senator Stockbridge Made
His Way in the World.

How the Late senator Stockbri1ge Made
His Way in the World.
Francis b. Stocl1bridgc, United States
senator from Michigan, who died
a few days ago in Chicago, was
born in Bath, Me, April 0, 1926. Early
in his life his parents moved to Chi
cago, where, for some years, he was
engaged in the lumber business. This
grew rapidly, and in comparatively
short time he acquired large lumber
interest in Michigan. In 1851 he de-
cided to move to Michigan and he took
up his residence in st. Ignace, where
ho owned several lumber mills. While
living in st. Ignace he also acquired
large mining property, which he re-
tanned up to the time of his death.
He moved to Kalamazoo about twenty
years ago and has lived there since.
He was elected to the state legislature
in 1860 and to the senate in 1871, and
March 4, 1887, took his seat In the
United States senate as a republican.
He was reelected again in 1893, and his
term of service would have expired
March 8, 1899. The senator had large
lumber interests on the Pacific slope,
was the proprietor of large spring
factory at Kalamazoo, and was well
known throughout the state as man
of large means who freely spent his
money for the benefit of the poor. He
was largely interested in the Brown &
Co. stock farm near Kalamazoo, and

discoveries of surgery. Before DR.
Murphy's operation patients with ap-
pendicitis We're almost certain to die.
The percentage was so small as to be
nothing. Now about sixty per cent.
will recover and as experience grows
the results win be better.
Another discovery of some value to
science for which he is responsible is
the fact that man becomes infected
with the disease that afflicts cattle
known as ''lumpy-jaw." He found that
through defective teeth the germs
were transmitted along the bono and
that the disease is always fatal. The
name of the disease is actinomycosis
hominis. The Importance of these facts
is at once evident.
DR.. Murphy's more recent work Is
the most interesting and really the
most valuable he has done. The re-
suit of 1t is what he calls the intestin-
al anastomasis button by which the
mortality from intestinal cutting is
practically annihilated. BY the but
ton the severed ends of the intestine
may be united In one minute and the
result is always favorable This but
ton can be classed as one of the most
important discoveries in surgery, for
the reason that it enables any physi-
clan, however inexpert he may be, to
perform rcsection of the intestines in
gunshot cases and the like with al
most absolute safety, These opera
tions have been the despair of surgery
! for years.
Dr. Murphy is professor OF surgery
IN the Chicago College of Physicians
and Surgeons For two years he was
resident physician in the Cook County
hospital and is now president of the
! hospital staff

tlon, declaring emphatically he would
hear nothing of personal grievances.
Exceptions were duly taken to the rul-
ings and the indignant priests declare
they will appeal to Rome if Mgr.
Satolli does not give them the hearing
they demand.
If it be true that Mgr. Satolli was
appointed for the purpose of prevent
ing appeals to Rome and refuses to
grant tho appeal of the priests there
is likely to be a contention, to which
the McGlynn matter will be an episode.

Tides of Enormons I,o,o,,.

Prof. Ball, the astronomer roval OF
ireland, calls attention to curious
fact In connection with tides. At nres-
ent the moon is 240, 200 miles away, hut
there was time in the distant past
when it was only about onc.sixth part
of this, or say, about 10000 miles, If
the moon at distance of 240,O00 miles
gives us tides that average three feet
the world over, they must have been
91G times higher, or at least $40 feet, at
the time when it was only 10000 miles
away. Such tide as the above would
drown the Mississippi valley, from the
Eads jetties to the mouth of the Bad
Axe, and would pile up water 300 feet
deep In the streets OF St. Louis.

Franklin's Foresight.

One hundred years ago this month
benjamin Franklin left fund of five
thousand dollars, which he directed
should be put at interest and left to
accumulate for a century. When that
time had come round, according to the
directions of the splendid old philan-
thropist, half of the money thus accu-
mulated should go to some good public
purpose for the benefit of the people of
Boston. The other half was to be put
aside, as In the first case, for another
century, at the end of whish time the
state and the city should be equal part
ners In the fund. Now, arising from
the five thousand dollars, there is an
aggregate of something near seven
hundred thousand dollars, half of
which the trustees will use to build
and equip an industrial training school,
one of the best uses to which the
money can be put, and one which
Franklin would surely approve If he
were living now. The board of alder
men and three ministers of the oldest
religious societies In Boston are the
trustees. They are going to visit
Washington to learn as much as they
can about the manual school there,
and they will visit nearly all the large
cities of the United States on the same
mission

THE Y. II. c. A. JUBILEE.

Delegates from Seventeen Different Ma

to Do Honor to Robert Williams
"A Grand Event.

1t Is only short time ago that thou
tands of temperance advocates in this
country and England did honor to that
sturdy old son of Maine, Gen. Neal
Dow On his birthday words of eulogy
for the man who had championed the
cause of temperance for fifty years and
more were pronounced in many cities
Orators told of the great good Gen.
Dow Mad done in saving young men
from the dl'unhard's grave, and re-
Joiced that ha had lived to see the tre-
mendous growth of the cause of tenn

old man from the Pine Tree state is
now nearing the last milestone of life,
but happy in the knowledge that he
has been the means of keeping thou

patton and consequent irreligion.
Two other grand old men who have
labored for half a century for the moral,
mental and religious Improvement Of

celebration of the jubilee of the great
institutions they founded. One of
these Christian workers is Gen. Will

why Indians Take scaips.

Indians do not take scalps through
cruelty, but just as civilized soldiers
fight for and preserve the captured
battle flags of the enemy as trophies
and proofs of prowess in war. Inc
scalp is taken by making rough
circle of slasbes around the skull, and
then touring off the broad patch of
skin and hair by main force 1t is a
dreadful operation, and one never to
be forgotten by those who have once
seen it. The scalp is supposed to con-
tain many magical powers, and is
cured with the greatest care by him
who takes it.

THE BONACUM CASE.


Priests and Lnymcn by the Score Are In
terested in 1t.
The rulings of Archbishop IIcnnessey
at the ecclesiastical court, held recent
ly at Omaha, bid fair to create CON
tention of no mean magnitude, says
the Illustrated American. The arch
bishop of Dubuque, in compliance with
an order issued by Mgr Satolli, sat be-
hind closed doors to listen to one hun
drcd and fifteen specific charges
against Bishop Bonacum, of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Lincoln, Neb
There were present fifty priests and
nuns, summoned as witnesses. The
charges preferred included "malad-
ministration, tyranny, oppression, In
subordination, melting strife, slander
and libel, arbitrary exercise and abuse
of power, violation of diocesan statutes,
misappropriation, falsehood, specula-
tion, undue influence, unjust favorit-
ism, scandal, gambling and incitation
to perjury"
The archbishop declined to consider
the principal propositions of the ac-

partly in Monterey counties to Vim
After California became an American
possession Gomez sold the land to Nc
Garrahan. This transaction took
place December %, 1857. In the mean
time a private corporation known as
the New Idria Mining company had
squatted upon the land and began a
wearisome system of litigation for the
purpose of keeping McGarrahan out of
possession. On one preteXt and an
other the case was dragged through
the courts for years, and during all this
time tho New Idria Mining company
was making enormous profits out of
McGarrahan's quicksilver. Part of
these profits the concern put in its
pocket and part it employed as a cor
ruption fund to keep McGarrahan out
of his rights. The story is one of the
most shameful in the history of such
affairs, and includes theft, bribery and
mutilation of the records in the gem
eral land office.
Finally McGarrahan In 1868 appealed
to congress and u bill ordering the
transfer Of the property to him was
passed, but the measure got tangled in
the senate machinery and was indefi-
nitely postponed. McGarahan bravely
kept up the fight in succeeding con-
crosses, however, and every session
since has had its turn at this famous
claim, but the rich parasites found
congress an easy field for their opera
tions, and those who were In posi-
ton to know predicted that the broken
old man would go to his grave as he
has done with his great wrong unre-

"brother coadjutor" of the Jesuit order.
The pipes of the instrument are in

The Farmer of the Future.

In the present unsettled state OF the
labor market 1t Is well worth while
for the young man to sit quietly down
and consider the possibilities of future
business, Whether he shall confine
himself to the store, the shop or the
factory should be question to receive
serious thought. OF course, there are
and always will be many people who
prefer commercial life, but 1t is well
worth while to give moments serious
study to that which will produce the
necessaries of life. The careful farm
er, says the New York Ledger, may
make himself independent of other oc-
cupations 1t is possible for him to
raise sufficient food products to sup
ply many of the requirements of his |
family, and thus make himself free |
from many of the vicissitudcs of busi-
ness life Indeed, every man who can
possibly do so should have his bit of |
ground where he can provide what |
will rank as luxuries to his fam
lily. The small farmer Is
to all intents and purposes
the Independent citizen of the
commonwealth. Those who follow
this occupation on more extensive
scale are subject to possibilities of
lack of assistance and the danger that
their help may leave them when 1t Is
most needed. Indeed, the help prob |
lem is the coming subject of interest |
for this country. Upon reasonable |
settlement of the present disaffection |
the prosperity of the nation depends
With the farm quite as much as in any |
other business the necessity for relia-
BILE assistance is apparent. If things |
are not done In season they may as
well go over until another year, as la |
Dor bestowed on them Is in most cases |
almost the same as wasted. A small
piece Of ground thoroughly and intel
ligently cultivated will produce quite
enough to supply the table Of an ordi'
nary-sized family. From this one may
Increase the area and it's productive
ness according to the time and facili-
ties at command, and thus supplement |
whatever comes In from other occupa- |
tions of members of the family. But |
there is In the fruits of ones own gar
den charm rarely found in those of.
fered by the market-gardener.

THE announcement of the death of q
little girl in New York from excessive
exercise with the skipping rope calls
the attention of parents to real dan
ger. This exercise In moderation Is
healthful to the child and encouraging
to the shoemaker, but exceedingly dan
gerous when it comes to trials of endur-
ance or when little girls exhaust
themselves in an effort to achieve a
record and make great number of
jumps, Deaths from this cause have
occurred before, and in many cases
where the result Is not fatal the health
of the child may be greatly impaired.
1t would be we'll, therefore, for parents
at this season Of the year to exercise
some watchfulness in this regard.
