MULEY HAssAN's MISTAKE.
He Neglected to Kill His Brothers
After the Custom of the Country

From the New York Post.
The late Sultan of Morocco made, prob
ably in Difference to European ideas, the
greatest mistake of his life in not killing
his brothers according to the time
honored Oriental practice. The sultan S
crown under the Mussulman law descends
to the eldest male of the family. who, on
the death of the reigning sovereign, would
naturally be one of his brothers, if he
had any; his son would thus be shut out.
To prevent this contretemps, it was in
old times, and, jim fact, down to compara-
lively recent times, the custom either to
kill the brothers or to put out their eyes
Muley Hassan, the late sultan, neglected
this wholesome custom, and left the
crown To his son, with regents TO assist
him during the first five years of his
reign. But the brother, Muley Ismail
has claimed it, and is in the field in as
sertion of his claim, and as he has been
long prominent in Moroccan affairs, he
will probably have strong following and
give Muley Abdul A2iz a great deal of
trouble unless the European powers inter
fere- The European residents are, how
ever, very anxious that they should not

by natural narcotics is meant such as
are produced by nature and are found
ready made in the plants from which they
are obtained. Artificial mar, otics are
those which are manufactured by human
processes. DR.. Sperry condemns the use
OF mllder narcotics, because. he says,
they lead to the others.
Many Of our good Womens Christian
Temperance Union workers and kindred
people," he said, condemn in severe
terms the man who occasionally sips a
glass of wine or takes his re gular mug of
beer or INDUCES in an after meal cigar
while they who have signed the pledge to
drink no Intoxicating beverage ha abitually
take into the system at each meal, in two
cups Of good tea or excellent coffee, ,
which they 50 much enjoy, more narcotic
poison than is taken by sonae of the mod
crate drinkers and smokers whom they
condemn. The difference between our
wakeful lady, just home from the party,
where she INDUCED in strong tea or coffee,
and the hilarious voting fellow who has
been taking little wine or beer and who
begins to feel like painting the town red
IS more a difference of degree than of
kind. In both the nerves are abnormally
and unhealthfully excited, and from this
excited condition in either case must
come reaction and depression
Dr. Sperry says that some quack ply
sicians who advertise as specialists drive
their patients to the narcotic habit. A
man with a fancied or even with a gen
uine ailment may visit the quack and re-
ceive some medicine containing an active
narcotic poison. The result is paralysis
of the nerves and a deadening of pain
The patient decides that he is getting bet
ter and goes TO the quack again and again
for more of the same medicine In this
way he acquires the first stage of the
opium habit.
Dr. Sperry is not ready to indorse any
OF the so-called cures for natcotism He
has observed fine results from newly dis
covered methods of treatment; he has
also seen strong, healthy young men
wrecked mentally and physically. He be-
lleves that the best way to kill narcotism
is to stimulate instruction.

Little Rock, Ark, June 16.-Gov. Fish
back made his first speech in his canvass
for the United States senatorship to-day
at Magnolia. He refrained from making
any attack upon Senator Berry. The
greater portion of the speech was devoted
TO an explanation of his course during the
days of reconstruction. He denied that
he had ever affiliated with the re-
publicans, claiming if he had done
so, he would have been elected governor
of Arkansas in 1868, instead of Powell
Clayton. He declared himself in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and charged the democrats in the
Senate with being responsible for the
delay of the passage of the tariff bill.
Senator Berry issued an address to the
people of Arkansas to-day, in which he
says that his presence is demanded in
Washington to preserve a quorum in the
Senate, and therefore he declines TO meet
Gov. Eishback on the stump. Upto date,
thirty-four counties have expressed a

Richmond, Va, June 16.-About S25 of
the s.emmers employed at the stemmery
of the Richmond branch of the American
Tobacco Company struck this morning
because the company decided to pay them
by the weight of the stems, instead Of by
the weight of the strips taken from the

change will be to reduce their wages,
but the company denies this. The latter
say that their object is not to cut down
wages, but TO prevent the nesting of
stems in the weighing boxes, and secure
the loose tobacco that sticks to the short
pieces Of stems. They offered to let the
stem mmers try the experiment for a week

JUST FREDDIE" GOULD.
Forgotten in His Rich Unole's Will,

He Lives Quietly in San Francisco.
From the san Francisco Chronicle.
The recent presence in this city of
Helen Gould, daughter, of the late la
mented Jay of that ilk, has drawn atten-
tion to the fact that one of the most
modest and least known of the residents
of San Francisco is a young nephew of
the deceased millionaire, who was hon
ored at birth by being named after his
plutocratic uncle.
For fifteen years the lad has struggled
through life under the solemn cognomen
of jay Frederick Gould, but with mod
esty that marks his far removal from
Wall streets influence, he has sunk the
Jay into oblivion, and sported with
his playmates under the happier name of
Freddie.
He is the son Of Abram Gould, the only
brother of the illustrious bondholder.
Abram Gould is q well-known railroad
man of St. Louis, where he is connected
with the Texas and Pacific, Missouri
Pacific and St. Louis and the Southern
Pacific.
Freddie was born in st. Louis. Upon
being informed of the happy event in his
brothers household JAY Gould tele-
graphed to his brother Abram, asking
that the boy be named Jay Gould, Jr,

and, like little Pip, he started in lite with
great expectations" He was left moth
erless in his infancy, but he has never
missed a mothers care because of his
adoption into the family of which he is
now member.
t'reddie's parents were very intimate
with the late Capt. d. S. Austin, of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and his
Wife, At the death of his mother the
child was given over to the care of Mrs.
Austin, who brought him up as child of
her own.
The Austins lived at Oakland until n

dence on Pacific avenue, near Van Ness.

neither is this youug representative of
the line. He has no pretense to beauty
whatever. On the contrary he is quite an
ordinary looking boy, of about medium
hight, neither light nor dark with a
rather shambling figure and gait The
most striking feature in his composition
is a certain shrewdness and a sagacitv
beyond his years.
Upon the death of the lads multi mill
ionaire uncle the publication Of his will
was awaited anxiously by those interested
in Ereddie's fortune. II was thought that
Jay Gould 5 nephew and quasi-namesake
would certainly come in for goodly re-
membrance. When the will was pub
lished, however, the lads name could
not be found in 1t. Jay Gould had for

A SLANDEROUS TONGUE
Gets Young Man Into Trouble With
Four Girls.

MASON CITY, w. VA, Feb. 4 -
Four young women, with hearts full
of Indignation, took Arthur Meller
out of his bed at the farm of Henry
A. Jones near Vineland few miles
from here, last night, and whipped
him severely with riding whip.
Near the Jones farm lives Mrs.
Susan Calment, with her daughter,
Annie. Annie is an attractive girl
and last summer Meller gave her
considerable attention. A few weeks
ago they became engaged to be mar
ried, and announced it to Mrs. Cal
ment Last Sunday Mcller took his
betrothed to Middleport, where he
made insulting proposals to her
She returned home and told her
mother, who in turn denounced Mel
Ter to his face Yesterday it became
known that Meller, in his pique. was
circulating very Dusty reports about
the girl. Miss Calment had no one
to defend her character, but three of
her girl friends, ali strong buxom
young women, volunteered to give
Meller what he deserved. They
went to Jones', where Meller STAYED,
and by throwing pebbles against the
windows, attracted his attention.
Seeing the girls, he drew on his
tr<, u - =
seized him and dragging him to a
fence corner, tied him, and dashed
his back till he screamed for mercy.
But the girls were angry and did
not let up till Farmer Jones came to
the rescue. Meller had on only his
night shirt and trousers, and the
cold and the raw hide made an i'm
preston upon him which will be hard
to eradicate.

one who would acquire fame, aud he

embraced religion. From the notice

Hughes of Portland the pastor of the
Chestnut Street church, has the rep

preacher of his church in Maine, and
is always in demand as a speaker on
all sorts of occasions, from u dinner
given by the drummers to the annual
banquet of those who cling to the
old idea that Robert Burns was u
real poet, even il he didn't belong to
the modern school. Mr.. Hughes is
believer in woman suffrage, and
with right good reason, for his wife
is one of the leaders of the movement
in this state, and is like her husband,
a ready and accomplished speaker.

ReyiYiuG Busf m ess.

Spring trade has it's beginnings in
January, and the indications among
merchants and manufacturers are
that it is beginning hopefully this
year,
During the fall, says an exchange,
it was several times pointed out that
no revival of business was to be ex-
pected until this mouth. The fall
trade was destroyed by the Senate's
prolonged inaction on the silver re-
peal bill. When repeal was at last
accomplished twas too late for that
season, and there was nothing for
merchants and manufacturers to do
except wait for the spring demand.
Meantime stocks of goods have
run low and consumers have done
without as long as they can. The
demand for the spring may be some
what limited by the general losses of
the past year, but there are necessi-
ties which must be met, and with
more active business the ability and
disposition of all classes to consume
more freely must steadily increase.
There is no indication of ''boom"
at present, but there is scarcely
doubt that the country will witness
a healthy revival of legitimate trade,
already begun and destined to in
crease as the year grows older
