A Cure for Stamuerinr.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives
very Eimp1e remedy for the misfor-
tune. He says: "Go into room
where you will be quiet and alone, get
some booH that will interest but not
excite you and sit down and read two
hours aloud to yourself, keeping your
teeth together. Do this every two or
three days-or once a week ii very
tiresome- always taking care to read
slowly and distinctly, moving the lips
but not the teeth. Then, when con-
versing with others, try to speak as
slowly and distinctly as possible and
make up your mind that you viii not
stammer.
The first result was to make my
Jaws ache-that is, while was read
ing and the next to make me feel as
II something had lcosened my talking
apparatus, for could speak with less
difficulty Immediately. The change
was 80 great that every one who knew
me remarked It i repeated this rem
edy every Ave or SIX days for month
and than at longer intervals until cured.

Hard to Manage.

In Mr. Winshaw's "Out of Doors in
Tsarland" there is humorous descrip-
ton of the authors first experience
with snow shoes. These, he explains,
were not Of the Canadian type, but
long, narrow, wooden ones, six or seven
feet in length by six inches in width.
The foot is secured by strap oyer the
1nstep and another behind the heel.
The beginners first attempts are ma
turaDy pretty acknowledgements and
heart breaking" is Mr. Whishaw's
phrase. BE had started out on a wolf
hunt with several companions. He
says:
My plight was pitiable, for this was
almost my very first attempt to mani
pulate or rather pedipulate, these slip
perry engines. Gavril and my friends
were up and away, gliding with easy
grace over the smooth surface, as If the
thing were as easy as walking. .Anx-
ious to keep up with them, and full of
the sense Of responsibility awakened
by As instructions as to absolute
silence, l, too, endeavored to slide
along with grace, but my efforts were
only partially successful.
A. told me afterward that when
ever he looked round I was 'just get
ting up" Once, at the bottom Of the
hllteck, he turned to see how was
getting on, and nearly jeopardized the
success OF the battue by bursting into
q roar OF laughter, a catastrophe which
ne averted only by stufing the thumb
OF bis huge glove into his mouth.

top OF the hillock, he says, and was eyi-
dentiy intending to stop and straighten
my shoes before attempting the descent.
But my shoes had no thought Of stop

down the slope on their own account.

This state Of things was bound to

Eccentricities in Palaces.

Eccentricities in Palaces.
The king Of Siam, who, according
to late reports, has had a palace con-
structed which he can submerge in the
sea at will and SO live under water
whenever he chooses, is Eot the only
monarch who has INDUCED in eccen-
trciues Of this sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory OF the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
'ished several OF her dainty courtiers
by compelling them to pass the night
In this great chamber of state, where
they were almost frozen to death.
The Car Paul, ancestor of the pres
ent emperor Of Russia, constructed a
room formed entirely Of huge mirrors,
where he spent hours walking to and
fro In full uniforms singular taste
for the ugliest man in Russia.
One Of the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making a stream
fall in cascade over the gateway:
and the Indian despot Tippo Sahib
placed beside his dinner table a life
size figure Of a tiger devouring an En-
glish officer, the roar Of the beast and
the shrieks OF the victim being imi-
tated by hidden machinery.

A Mothers Way.

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
a boy, he was very desirous Of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him, however, and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belongs to mothers
in general, found that IL the lad WAS
to have his wish at all, it must be
through her. She obtained book,
and sool taught him all she knew,
the scale, the keynote and how to find
1t, and the time Of the notes.
This was only "book-learning, how
ever, and the question was, to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon a species Of reverse process; the
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as
he expressed 1t, 'soon began almost
to sing with u.s.
And from singing airs they knew
into notes that bore no meaning, they
finally learned to sing airs they did
not know out Of similar notation. The.
method had been unlocked, and further
progress was easy. The mothers heart;
had found out the way.

The next instant both feet were In

mass Of legs, arms and snow shoes,

Fortitude in Suffering.
Our late war furnished many In
stances Of great heroism and fortit1aae
Of wounded soldiers Of that time were
much better off than those of the Reyo-
luton
A hundred years ago, says writer
in Harpers Young People, the unfortu-
nate people who came into the hands
Of the surgeons, generally soldiers or
sailors who had been hurt in action,
were forced to undergo the operations
necessary to the prolongation Of life
without taking ether or chloroforul, as
Is now administered to make the pa
tient unconscious and so free from
pain attendant upon the operation. To
secure quiet often the patient had to be
bound by ropes, so as much as he
might desire to vince he was utterly un-
able to do So. Occasionally patients
would show remarkable fortitude at
the crisis Of their troubles, but none
ever showed more than a soldier, who,
on the morning after the battle Of
Yorktown (Oct. 10,178D, was brought
into the hospital, having been shot in
the knee. It was found necessary to
amputate the limb, and the surgeon or
dered the nurses to bind the man fast
preparatory to the opera ton.
''Never!' protested the soldier. You
may tear my heart from my breast,
but you shall not bind me! Can you
get me fiddle?''
His request was compiled with, and
he proceeded to tune the instrument,
after which he said, $50, doctor, ROW
you can begin" And he played dur
ing the whole of the operation, which
lasted forty minutes, without uttering
a single false note or disturbing his
features in the slightest.

How Senator harris Broke Him.

New York Recorder
There is curious connection between
the lives of lsham Harris and Bishop
Quintard, of Memphis, whose perform
ance at Kitty Cheatham's wedding
brought him into prominence.
The bishop and Harris are about OF an
age, and, although of different temper
aments and of different professions
their careers have intertwined more
than once.
Quintard was chaplain in the Con
feuerate army, having secured the place
through Harris appointment, and Harris
to this day always refers to Quintard as
the man who broke him of the habit of
profanity.
1t was during the review of the troops
when Harris was governor, and with his
usual lraScibility he gave some OF the
dellnQuentS terrible dressing down as
| they went by.interlarding his comments
with characteristic OathS.
Just then Quintard sprang forward.
"How can you expect to control these
men, governor" he exclaimed, when
you cannot control your own temper?'
Harris stopped in astonishment and
gazed at tho bold chaplain. Then he
recognized the force of the mans words
and stopped swearing.
He says he hasn't sworn from that
time To this. and he really thinks he

George White, of Minneapolis, was
given hearing before Judge Williams,
OF the United States court, yesterday,
on a charge of contempt, i'll that he
stoned train during the strike. The
testimony was to the effect that he
threw stone as large as his fist dis
tance of five or six car lengths, but no
one was hurt. Judge Williams was of
the opinion that there was no intention
to do great harm and dismissed White.
Deputy Marshal Newton was rather
vehement in his testimony against
White, and insisted that White carried
a loaded cane. Asked by Lee Combs.
attorney for White, how he knew the
cane was loaded, Newton replied, 'By
its looks, the same that can see that
you are loaded" Judge Williams rep
rimanded Newton severely. After
White was discharged he clapped his
hands with joy. Judge Williams, hear
ing the noise, demanded sharply who
had been guilty of the lack of decorum
in court. White held up his hand as an
indication that he was the offender, and
was fined S. for contempt of court.
George S. Shaw, of the Shaw Lumber
company of Cloquet, was arrested yes
terday on bench warrant. He is in
dicted in the federal court on ali allega-
tion that he allowed about 200 cubic
feet Of slabs and edgings from the Shaw

river at Cloquet, a navlgabie stream,

SUED FOR MILLIONS.
Sage and Gould Asked to Repay
$4,000. 900.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The Kansas Pa
cifc bondholders' committee, of which
Silas p. butcher is chairman, has ell
tered suit in the United States circuit
court for New York, in the name of
John Quincy Adams, against Russell
Sage and the estate Of Jay Gould, to re-
cover S11, 100000, being the proceeds Of
securities alleged to have been taken
from the trust. Under the deed of
trust executed to Sage and Gould about,
So 100000 of the capital stock of the
Denver Pacific Railway company was
deposited with the trustees as collateral
security for the payment of the Kansas
Pacific consolidated bonds. These securi7
ties have been, it is said, taken out CT the
trust and the proceeds applied by the
trustees to their individual benefits.
The latter claimed to have obtained
title to them through a suit which they
instituted In the name uf the Kansas
Pacific Railway company (Which was.
controlled by them) against the eleven.
All that was alleged in those proceed-
ings, 1t was contended, was that the
Denver Pacific stock was of little
value. and that the mortgagor company
would like to have it. Upon theseIalle-
cations, and within period of seven
days. they obtained an order from
Judge Dopahue, of the New York SUI
preme court, to take the trust stock out
of the trust and turn it back to the rail-
road company. The company there
upon, 1t is alleged, handed the stock, or
the proceeds thereof, over to Gould
and Sage, who, it is alleged, have
retained it for their personal pur-
poses. The complaint in the suit also
charges that the proceedings gave no
color of legality to the acts of Gould and
Sage, who they now claim to be ac-
countable for the trust property, which,
with the premiums, dividends and in-
terest. now amounts, 1t Is claimed. to
more than $11,000,0O0. 1t is asked that
the Gould executors and Russell Sage
be called upon to account for the frauds,
and that Sage and George j. Gould be
removed from the trusteeship.
Russell Sage was seen this afternoon
by an Associated Press reporter, but
declined to go into the merits OF the
suit. He said; "Every thing that have

Southern Pacific Scheme t

Southern Pacific Scheme to
skim the freight Business.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-The Ex-
aminer this morning says: The sensa-
tion in local railroad circles is the dis
cussion of what was considered plan
devised by the Southern Pacific railroad
to skim off the cream of the freight
business for the Sunset route, in which
Huntington, CrOcker, ct al. are Inter
eSted, to the exclusion of the Central
Pacific line, in which the government
of the United States and divers stock
holders and Landowners are interested.
Although the Central Pacific line has
been open for passenger traffic for sew
eral days, business men have been nOti-
fed that no freight could be sent over
the road further than Sacramento. The
result has been that all merchandise
accepted for transcontinental transport
tation has been subject to the END that
it shall 20 by the way of the Sunset
route, through Ojaye, Ell Paso and New
Orl cans.
The object of the managers. in this
characteristic piece of business, is easily
comprehended," said railroad agent
Yesterday. The Southern Pacific owns
the through line from this city to New
Orleans, on which it gets all the money
which is paid for freightS from San
Francisco to New Orleans. 1t is quite a
different thing when the Central Pacific
line Is considered, for then the Southern
Pacific managers at best are only inter-
es ted in the travel to- Ogden, so the gov
ernment- aided road is given the 'gO-by'
for the benefit of the Sunset route. 1t
is to the interest Of the Southern Pacific
managers to have freight sent via the
New Orleans line, and for that reason
the Southern route was thrown open
first. As general rule business men
of San Francisco dislike to have prod
ucts transported by the Sunset route on
account of the excessive heat of deserts
through which the road runs, 1t is.
therefore. difficult, under normal
conditions, to turn shipments that
way, but a great many mer-
CHI ints became weary on account of
the long strike. ana as soon as they saw
an opening they started their merchan-
disc eastward, preferring to take the
chances of damages by heat rather than
to wait indefinitely for the Central route
to open. 1t is known that New York
shipments were sent by the way of New
Orleans because the Central Pacific
company did not know when the Ogden
route would be open. The business
men of San Francisco are not the only
sufferers by this bit of sharp practice.
1t cuts out from participation in the
freight business of California all the
lines having Western connections at
Ogden. and their agents are not slow to
express forcible language OH the sub
iect. The roads most affected are the
Union Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande.
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul, the
Burlingto ton route, the Chicago & North
western, and the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific. All these roads are in good
running order, and they feel the in
justice that is done them by divertlpg
the business that would naturally go
their way to the comparatively insignifi-
cant Sunset route for which the man.
ayers of the Southern Pacific are doing
so much"

STOPPING INSPECTION.
Alleged Action Taken by the
Trunk Lines.

KANSAS CITY, July 21.-The Modern
Miller today prints an article showing
showing up what it calls a ''trust''
formed by the Trunk Line ASSOCIATION
of railroads. The effect of this trust
will be to prevent exporters from in
specting shipments at seaboard points.
The Modern Miller prints the following
resolutions, which it claims that the
Trunk Line association freight commit
tee adopted on July 10:
Resolved, That the following resolu-
tion of this committee, No. 81, 1892, be
re affirmed:
Resolved, That instructions be given
to foreign freight agents and other
agents handling export property at the
Seaboard, that reports regarding the
condition of export flour handled on
through bills of lading shall not be fur
nished to shippers or shippers agents.
Resolved, That inspection by millers'
representatives of flour forwarded ON
through bills of lading shall not be al
lowed at the seaboard.
Resolved, That each trunk line will
notify all Western agents issuing
through bills of lading on export freight
over it's lines, not to insert any clause
in such through bills of lading which
provides for inspection at the seaboard.
Resolved. That no independent action
shall be taken by any trunk line III cou-
fiict with the fregoing resolutions.

it does not anywhere appear. so far as
the public as yet knows, that Justitiablo
causes exist for the summary dismissal
of the teacher from employment. On
tie other hand, the Impression prevails.
and this impression IS strengthened by
the course taken in the investigation,
that justifable causes or reasons are
remote or practically impossible upon
the plane OF judicial fairness and dig
Mty.
The duty of the committee on schools
seems plain enough. 1t can be only un-
wise to delay or trifle with the inveSti-
cation. 1t is due to all citizens inter-
eS:ed in the schools, it is due to the
teacher who has waited month or
more since an investigation was
granted, that the entire committee hear
all the parties in interest. Indeed, it
would have been wise and judicial
procedure had a SdtiSfactor inveStiga-
ton been allowed before the sentence
