HE HAS A SNAP.

Arcola, ILL.,, Dec. "a strange case of
hypnotism has turned this little city
into a hot bed of excitement Miss Flora
Lewis. a society belle of Arcola and &C
complished with suitors by the score,
fell under the influence of Frederick
Lorraine, a travelling transformer,
whose home is in Indianapolis, and Sat-
urday night entered the dingy precincts
of a justice shop and became his wife
They had been acquainted only a few
days. Half an hour later as the couple
were taking the train for Chicago they
were intercepted by the girls father, A.
E. Lewis, wealthy dry goods merchant,
who separated the pair and took his
daughter home. The father was assisted
by a crowd of angry citizens who threat
ened to string Lorraine up to the nearest
telegraph pole unless he left the city
The Lewis family is completely bro
ken up over the affair and the father
and mother are half crazed. The young
lady has been in half stupOr since be-
ing taken home and only awakens from
it to cry out in fear that her husband is
coming to take her away and pleads that
he be kept away. Physicians say that
she is under hypnotic influence. Loer-
aine is but his stage name, his right
name being William Tetley, and his
father is V. Baron Tetley, the wealthy
brewer of Leeds, Eng. He has figured
in several sensational affairs and was
publicly horsewhipped in Indianapolis
last summer by the mother of a young
lady he had practiced his arts upon. He
came to Arcola a month ago and got up
a home talent performance, Miss Lewis
taking one of the parts, and in that way
they became intimately acquainted. The
victim now declares Lorraine exercises
an influence over her which she cannot
resist.

LIBERTY OR DEATH.

New York, Dec. 9.-The World today
says: Gen. Gomez has issued the follow
ing explanation of his order to burn plan
tations:
To the Honored Men, Victims of the
Torch
The painful measure made necessary by
the resolution for the redemption of this
land drenched in innocent blood (from
Hatucy down to our own tines by cruel
and merciless Spain, will bring misery
upon you.
AS general-in-chief of the army of lib
GRAFTON, it is my duty to lead it to victory
without permitting myself to be held back
or terrified by any means necessary to
place Cuba in the shortest time in possess
sion of her dearest ideal. l therefore
place the responsibility for so great ruin
on those who look on impassively and
force us to these extreme measures, which
latter, fools and dolts they are, condemn.
After many years of prayer, humilia-
ton, contumely, repatriation and death,
when this people of its own will has arisen
in arms, there remains no other aim but
to triumph. 1t matters not what means
are employed to accomplish it. This peo
pie cannot hesitate between the wealth
of Spain and the liberty of Cuba. It's
greatest crime would be to stain the land
with blood without effecting it's purpose
because Of puerile scruples and fears
which do not accord with the character of
the men whom they meet in the field
challenging the fury of an army which is
one of the bravest in the world, but which
in this war is without enthusiasm or faith
without food or hope of glory.
The war did not begin Feb. "a: it is
about to begin now. The revolutionary
spirit, always magnified at the beginning
by wild enthusiasm, had to be organized,
Gained and led into the proper channels,
The struggle ought to begin in obedience
to plan more or less methodically stud
led out, but which may be accommodated
to the peculiarities of this war; This has
now been done.
Let Spain at once send her soldiers to
rivet the chains of her slaves, now that
the children of the land are in the field
armed with the arms of liberty
The struggle will be terrible, but the
end will crown the resolution and courage
Of the oppressed.

LYNCH LAW.

We agree with Gov. Budd that lynch
law is not good law; yet it sometimes is
the only law that can be invoked. For
instance, there is no punishment short Of
the swift and sure gallows adequate for
those Fresno raisin packers who decOyed
fifty girls to go from this city on the false
promise that they could earn good wages,
that board and lodging would be provid-
ed for them, and that their railroad fare
would be paid. When they arrived there
they were denied shelter or food, and
after working were refused payment I'M
til they had earned enough to refund the
packers the amount paid for their trans
portation. They could earn on an aver
age not more than Is cents per day, but
being destitute they worked in the boil
ing sun all day, living on raisins and
water, with no bed at night. Hanging
is too merciful for the barbarous wretches
who would not have treated cattle as
they treated these poor girls. Yet there
is no statutory law to reach them, for
what they did was written in the bond.'
Star, San Fransico.
Even our constitution fails us. Made
more than cetury ago, its trainers saw
not the embryonic and tremendous forces
lying in ambush, to finally crush the lib
critics of the people, and they needed not
the warning voice of the eloquent Patrick
Henry, who pleaded in vain for bill of
rights for the people. They turned a
deaf ear to the admOnition of that en-
bodiment of craftsmanship, Thomas JEFF
ferson, who, from beyond the sea, de-
plored the absence of bill of rights. OF

We Are Slaves to Greed.-If to be free

ashamed of having any one connected
with you engaged in politics, where cor
ruption reigns in every department of the
government and the municipalities
where the aristocracy is that of wealth
and not of honor, and where the liberal
professions are all counted lower than
Wall street; where, in effect, men are the
veritable slaves of greed and gain-why,

recognized house which is at least the
fountain of honor.-Temple Bar.

TURKISH ATROCITIES.

London, Dec. 9.-The correspondent of
the United Press in Constantinople tele-
graphs under yesterdays date:
The members of the yonug Turkey party
are highly gratified with the determined
attitude assumed by Said Pasha in putting
himself under the protection of the Brit
ish embassy, and refusing to place himself
under the influence or in the power of the
palace party. The leaders of the party are
very hopeful that the action of Said will
have the effect to destroy the system of
tyranny which has prevailed at the palace
and openly express their feelings on the
subject
A communication from Harpoot which
has been received by United States Min
ister Terrell makes reference to the report
that the Americans at that place had con-
cealed weapons in their houses to be dis
tributed among the Armenians. To refute
this story the letter says all the Ameri-
cans at Harpoot went to the government
officer and handed over to the officers five
revolvers which comprised every weapon
they possessed They even went further
than this After giving up their own arms
they induced the Armenians to give up
what guns and pistols they had. The
massacre occurred the day after this sur
render was made The batteries of artil-
lery which were planted upon the hill
overlooking the town fired into the build
ings occupied by the missions, but the
Turks have since pretended that the shots
were intended for the Kurds who had
raided the valley. One shell crashed into
the study of Rev. Dr. Barnum, of Leices-
ter, Mass, penetrating a book case and
exploded in wall. AS the missionaries
and others occupying the mission buildings
were leaving to seek refuge elsewhere, a
cannon ball swept through the narrow pas
sage through which they were moving, but
fortunately did not strike anybody Four
of the refugees were wounded by rifle

Mr.. w. L. Terry has some very bright
suggestions in 1.-THE National Bimetal-
list" for November. From nearly fifty
independent propositions we reprint the
following:
From the earliest periods of history,
gold and silver have been money metals,
Just as wheat and corn are now food
products. To close the minis against
ciate it's value and increase the value of
gold, just as the price of corn would be
decreased and the price of wheat in
creased if the mills were closed against
corn"
Corn selling at 40 cents bushel, and
wheat at 80 cents, if the mills were
closed against corn, the value of corn as
bread material being largely thrown
upon wheat, would lower corn to about
20 cents bushel, and at the same time
raise wheat to $1.O0 bushel.'
"The closing of the mills against corn
would not only injure every corn grower
but every person who had been using
corn-meal for food; and every such per-
SUI WOulu nave W pay IuOIe vi HIS IdDOT
and more of his products in exchange for
wheat, flour or any form of bread"
IF it were proposed to repeal the
wicked law that closed the mills against
corn, and made wheat the single stand
ard of food, the men interested in keep
ing up the price of wheat, would de-
nounce the proposed repeal as simply a
movement in favor of corn growers
and such person would be branded as
nothing less than an extortioner and an
enemy of the people"
with the mills open to both corn and
wheat, however, the commercial ratio of
corn and wheat would be 2 to 1 but with
the mills closed against corn, that ratio
would be to 1. Under such circum-
stances would it be just to say that be-
fore law should be passed to open the
mills to corn, the government should
declare, so far as it was concerned and it's
influence would reach, it should take
bushels of corn to equal l Of wheat?"

SUNSTROKE IN HORSES.

AS the reports of sunstroke and over
heating of horses have been more fire.
quent than usual this summer, we ex-
tract the following article from the SUI
gar Planters Journal. The article was
prepared by DR.. H. w. Smith:
Sunstroke is more or less common du-
ring the lot weather, and occurs mostly
among animals that are Overworked and
long exposed to the full force of the sun,
and horses and mules doing hard work
on the roads, such as long continuous
trotting or the hauling of heavy loads,
are very liable to be affected. Crowding
animals in close stables, and the putting
of too many in Car, are also common
causes of overheating. During the heat
of the day cattle seek the shade, but
should they be driven long distances
some of them are sure to suffer. Cows
giving long yields of milk are also liable
to suffer. Anima ais in full health are
much less likely to be affected than are
others that are debilitated through dis
ease, bad management or bad food.
Sunstroke is congestion of the brain in a
greater or lesser degree.
The affection is sometimes mani
tested suddenly, but there are often
cases when the coming trouble is plainly
visible in the premonitory symptoms.
The animal requires more frequent
urging and as the disease progresses be-
comes unsteady in its gait and finally
falls in an unconscious conditions it lies
fiat on it's side with head and limbs ex-
tended and sometimes there are convul-
sions which are more or less violent; the
breathing is snoring, the pulse slow and

Uses of Palmetto.

The heretofore despised saw palmetto
has been instrumental in developing
number of substantial. industries in
various parts of the State that bid fair
to all be successful and the means of
bringing large sums of money into the
country. A tannery has been established
at Sanford and is now turning out ex-
cellent qualities of harness and upper
leather. The roots, stems and leaves all
contain a large percentage of tanniu
that is easily extracted. The raw ma
terial costs nothing but the gathering
and the business of tanning leather
should be highly profitable, as we'll as
the manufacture of tanning extracts for
expectation. The manufacture Of the
latter IS now an immense industry in
different parts of the North and West
where oak and hemlock timber abound
and large amount of capital is invested
in it. Florida can without doubt manu-
facture leather at less cost than any
other state in the Union. The reasons
are obvious: The tanning material costs
practically nothing, the principal source
of supply for hides is South America,
Texas also furnishes large quantities.
Hides can be laid down in Florida from
either of these sources at much less ex-
pense than In any Northern states where
the tanning business of the country is
now co nducted. The United States now

a condition that prevents him from ship
ping. The charges for getting the ma
terial to market is such that there is no
promise of profit to him, consequently
he allows it to remain in the fields and
rot. Not only does he do this but the
next year with discouraglng remem-
brance of his failure before him he pro-
duces nothing-and no one can blame
him.
We think that this is stronger argu-
ment for lower and better rates than
anything else that could be offered.
This is something that will strike the
soft spot in the corporation HEARTH
there is such thing; at any rate it will
appeal to the business instinct of the
managers. 1t is a m after of bread and
butter with them-a thing of dollars and
cents, and will carry more weight than
a thousand columns of anti-Corporation
literature.
We do not claim that the matter of
making rates rests entirely with the
Florida railroads; the Florida haul is
comparatively a short one, but we think
these roads should use their influence
with their connections. We submit this
matter to the transportion companies as
a business proposition, not as matter
of sentiment. They are here for bust
ness-to make money, and the only way
this Can be done is to encourage pro-
duction-and, carrying the matter fur
ther-the best, and so far as we know,
only encouragement lies in the matter
of rates.
Florida is capable of producing largely
she Can produce thousands of Car loads
where she now produces one. This pro-
duction would mean business for the
railroads, and business, If taken at
greatly reduced margin, would be profit.
We have no doubt that the transpor-
tation companies will take a business
view of the matter; they will see the
necessity of doing something to encour-
age production-and we think they will
agree with us that the best way to en-
courage production is to reduce rates.
