Vagaries of the Memory.
From the 81. James Gazette.

The case of the woman who has been
found at Brighton suffering from, it is
said, an absolute inability to recollect
her own name or any of the events of
her life, is by no means so rare as some
of the newspapers appear to imagine.
The woman may De an impostor; but
many genuine cases of the kind are
known. Complete loss of memory is a
well-snown disease. and very curious
examples of IT are on record. Dr. Cow
ers had a patient. a clergyman, who
had completely forgotten the events of
twenty years of mis- life. No amount
of argument could convince him that his
age was really sixty years, or that he
had done thirty years clerical work. He
obstinately maintained that he was only
40, and that he had been only ten years
in the ministry. the perplexities attend
ing his delusiOn can be imagined. Some
of his children, for instance, would prob
badly be over 80 years old, which would
necessitate his having been married at
the age of 10. His schoolfellows, if he
should meet them, would appear to have
grown old at a tremendous pace; he could
hardly understand why he had married a
woman so much older than himself; and
altogether, his position must have been
one not to be envied.
Another doctor prescribes the case of

(ErOm the Niagara Fails, ReUisl0J
Being told that the eight-vear old daughter
of Mrs. Dorety, Ontario Avenue. had been
tremendously cured of St. Vitus' dance. we
decided to investigate the case and ascertain
the facts. Accordingly we visited her
home when she related the facts as fol-
lows" 1t is about two years and a half
since Mabel was stricken with st. Vitus'
dance caused by the weakening effects of Ia
grippe and rheumatism. Three local phy-
sicians were called in as was also one doctor
of considerable reputation from Niagara
Falls, y. Y, but in the face of the preserip-
tons of these physicians and the best Of
care, Mabel grew rapidly worse. She could
not be lett alone an instant and was as help
less as an infant as she had no control of her
limbs at all. She could neither walk with
out assistance nor take food or drink. At
this stage one of the attending physicians
said, Mrs. Dorety, there Is no use in my
coming here any more. There is nothing
that l know of can be done for your little
girl" Well matters went on that way for
short time with no better results till one
day was sure the poor child was dying.

to try them. l was skeptical as to the effect
and only tried them as last resort. but was
soon agreeably surprised at the result.
In less than three months she was so
much better that the dread disease almost
entirely disappeared, and the pills were
discontinued. In a few months, how
ever, she showed that the symptoms had not
been entirely eradicated from hersystem. so

the awful maladv will be swept awav, for
she goes to school now and we have not the
slightest anxiety in leaving her alone. DR..

DR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-

sAvANNAH's NEW INDUSTRY.
The Car building Works to Be Es-

The Car Building Works to BE Es-
tabIished at Once.
Mr.. NJ. A. O'Byrne who returned TO the
city yesterday, after a two months vaca-
ton at the north informed a Morning
News reporter that the car building plan,
bid in by him at Huntingdon, Pa, for a
syndicate of Savannah capitalists, will
soon be established here.
we are satisfied that the business will
BE- paying one" said Mr.. O'Byrne. THE
railroads centering in Savannah alone
can furnish all the work that the plant
can handle. Savannah is a good site for
such a plant. The location at Hunting
don was not a favorable one, and conse-
Quently it was not a success there. The
machinery plant for the manufacture or
ear wheels and other railroad supplies
will remain at Huntingdon, and we eN-
pect to do a considerable business in that
line"
Mr.. O'Byrne said that the location of the
plant has not yet been decided upon. Sew
eral desirable sites Ahave been offered,
and are under consideration. He found con-
siderable correspondence awaiting him
here on the subject of the new industry.
Among other letters. was an order for
ten trolley cars. The order was from Il
responsible party, who was under the inn
preston that the plant was already IN
operation. Trolley cars. as well as all
classes of railroad cars viii be construct
ed at the works here.

that remiss in their usual donation that
only one lone negro was in the cells, and
he came there to sleep. Lieut. Welko-
brasky thought it would be a good chance
to give the quarters a thorough clean
ing. Calling Night Clerk Dick Grady
they fastened the big hose to the plug in
the engine house, turned on a moderate
supply of water and began to wash out
the cells.
They had just got things nicely start
ed when some practical joker came in
to the plug and turned the water on full
head, with only about twenty-five feet Of
hose on. The lieutenant had the hose
IN his hand, when 1t gave jump as
though il were alive and wrenched itself
loose, while a small Niagara began to
flood everything in sight.
The lieutenant is a pretty strong man.
but he was not in it with the hose. Dick
Grady rushed into a cell and then shut
the door after him, but the hose waltzed
up to the bars and Dick came near being
drowned like a rat in a hole. Sergt. Moo
ney and Officer Toomey came in Just
then and the hose greeted them with a
and retreated. Then the hose, as if en-
dowed with renewed life, got after the
lieutenant. His handsome uniform and
new hat soon looked like a sad memory
of summer. Like a great snake the hose
threw itself around and nothing could
hold it. Finally 1t got out of the Jail and
into the chiefs office, where Mooney and
Toomey were trying to figure out what
had broken loose. They stopped figuring
and made a swift break for the inner
office, but not until both had received
another drenching.
The chiefs office was flooded in a sec
ond and papers and everything loose
went flying right and left. Then the
rubber hose started for the inner Office
but some outsider just then turned the
water off.
When a reporter drifted in a few min
utes later the officers were wringing out
their hats and the water was two inches
deep on the floor. That hose just lay
there and laughed, while Dick Grady
who looked like a drowned rat, was hang
ing himself up by the fire to get dry.

John Roberts of Twelveheads, Cornwall

as a wizard, and is one of the very best

his familiarity with "sperets" enabling
him TO both ill-wlsh and TO counteract tho
evil effects of ill-wishing. For his ability
to charm blood he was in great request
and his reputed accomplishments ranged
from the charming away of toothache
