The Post Drops Him.

Cincinnati. O., Aug. 2O.-A special to the Tribune from Louisville, Ky, says there is war in the democratic ranks. The Louisville Post has dropped Gen. Watt Hardin and calls upon him to with draw. There is already talk of bringing out a sound money candidate for gov ernor, and General Buckner is regarded as the right man. There is no doubt that the unsatisfied democrats will take some action looking to bringing out candi- date
 Col. w. O. Bradley left for Mayfield this morning, and General Hardin went this afternoon The second of the series of debates will be held at Mayfield. Even inc staunch democrats are very blue, both because of the free silver view that Hardin takes of the democratic plat form and the rashness he has shown as a debater They realize that the oftener Hardin meets Bradley the worse it will be for Hardin.

THE HORRORS GROW. Thirteen More Victims of the Denver Hotel Horror to Re Accounted For.

Denver, Col, Aug. 20.-The horrors of the Gumey hotel catastrophe grow more pronounced as the work of recovering the bodies proceeds. The scene today was sickening, and although five bodies were taken from the ruins, making thif- teen in all. it is supposed that thirteen more are buried under the tons of debris.
 The police and all other city officials, have done their utmost to facilitate the search for bodies, but the work proceeds very slowly. Portions of the walls have been torn down. but three upper floors and an immense skylght in the roof hangs suspended in midair directly over where the bodies are supposed to be. Itl is a disadvantage to the men at work. Several bodies beneath the ruins have begun to decompose, and a fearful stenchf compels the men to stop.

LOADING DICE.

Once FlOurishfnE Business In Knox.

From the Knoxville Journal.
A reporter noticed in a shop window
a pair of dice. They were fnnocent-look-
ing little white bones, and he had quite
forgotten them when the proprietor re-
marked ''Them's loaded
What's loaded?"
"Why, the dice"
"Oh." the reporter calculated. The pro-
prietor picked up the dice, and, throw
rg them on the counter, said Come
seven" and sure enough seven came
Some one else pitched them and five turn
ed up, but before he could make another
five to gain his point that fatal seven
showed its face again. and so it went, the
five and the two making the seven, three
out of five shots
There are only two men in the city who
will load dice" the proprietor ex-
planned.
Before Jones turned loose on the gam
tlers one could get S and Sc for loading
pair of dice, and IL the job was difficult
you could get even more than that, but

less to do than there once was at any

recognize the iron. To do the job right re-
quires a good deal of skill and pains. You
bore the eye and pour in your mercury or
beat in your lead If you use mercury 1t
must be in the form of quicksilver Mer-
curry is probably the best, though a tiny
lead shot will answer the purpose of the
ordinary dice. You then take a bit of
ivory and fitting it in the plug counter
sink the eye. If the loader understands his
business there is no professional who can
detect the fraud. Not to make the weight
suspicious you can bore and leave hollow
that side of the dice for which 1t is loaded.
Sometimes there Is big money in the
business. About year ago, when dice
were the rage with gentlemen of the green
cloth, a party of local gamblers sent all
the way to Black Hill. Colo, for an ex-
pert to come and do their little trick. He
came and in one night he and his crowd
done one game for 5000. The next day he
returned to Black Hill. That man was
once a noted gambler in this city. 1t was
about this time that Chief Adkins, after
having made a raid on some notorious dive.
placed on exhibition a pair of loaded dice
cut in halves.
Speaking of the price Of dice, s. or 50
is letting them off light. In some cities
where the dice are loaded in a professional
way, not to order but for regular sale.

DR.. Sntterlee Must Not Leave, Even to
De IL Bishop.

New York Letter to Boston Herald
Though the greater New York, as repre-
sented by Brooklyn. felt prepared to spare
Washington Rev. Mr.. Talmage, there is
general feeling that the section of metro
politan society most interested will make a
vigorous protest against Rev. Henry Sat
terlee actual rector of Calvary Church, 60
irg over to the national capital; nor, indeed,
would 1t seem to be at all certain that this
thoughtful ard eloquent preacher is inclined
to become a bishop since he has already
more than once refused the honors.
The departure of DIR. Satterlee would be,
indeed, a distinct loss to the religious world
OF New York, which has already from time
to time relinquished such able members of
the ciergy as Rev. Winchester Donald.
There is a feeling none the less intense be-
cause local that once favorite New York
divine, always a New Yorker.
Imagine, for example, the late Phillips
Brooks anywhere save in Boston, of whose
life and atmosphere he seemed to beTa part
To listen to him in Westminster Abbey was
great treat, but within that venerable pile
he was still peculiarly the bearer of a mes
sage from beyond the seas.
DIR. Satterlee who may, if he wills 1t So
be. Bishop Satterlee, Is certainly alike one
of the most convincing and interesting of
preachers in the Protestant Episcopal
Church To begin with. he is intensely hu-
man. in the sense of sympathetic, and de-
void of clerical affectations. The sworn foe
Of worldliness in any form. he yet never
breaches for effect or to appeal to the gal
lery." There is about him. both as a man
and preacher, a refreshingly wholesome
quality; at once earnest and cultivated he
is an ideal preacher for a congregation large
ly composed Of educated people, who need a
guide and Inspiration in their good works
DR.. Satterlee is never dull, but unfailingiy
interesting; his sermons invariably give the
impression of being the result of spontane-
Gus and original thought They treat of old
themes from new standpoint, and no mat
ter how familiar a text, such TT is more
blessed to give than to receive" furnishes
the starting point of a mastery Thanks
giving sermon. The ''Seven Words" during
the Good Friday service at Calvary uni
formly suggests eloquent and feeling dis
courses.
Calvary Church in itself is one Of the most
beautiful and in every respect satisfying
in New York. Unlike that ultra-fashionab BILE
sanctuary. st. Thomas Church, Calvary
Church makes a point of welcoming 'out-
sders" and putting persons who are not
pewholders at their ease. The charity work
of the parish is unusually well organized,
and proceeds without recourse to sensation
al methods. Altogether as the rector of
Calvary. Dr. Satteriee occupies alike so use
full and commanding position that his ac-
ceptance of bshopric will be regarded as
a local calamity.

WHY THE MIRAGE SEEMS INVERTED
The Image on the Retina is Felt, Not
Seen.

From the st. Louis Republic.
sitions assumed by the images in that va
riety of mirage peculiar to the Mediterra-
mean in the vicinity of Italy. and which is
known as he Fata Morgana, caused us to
undertake the task of ascertaining exactly
why mirage images are usually seen in
verted If you will take the time to look
the matter up you will find that this phe-
nomcnon is not clearly explained, either in
the books OF meteorology or optics.
Lord Rayleigh says that the delusion of
water appearing in mrages on hot, sandy
plains is due to the fact that the undis-
turbed strata Of air near the earth is high
ly rarified. A ray of light falling very OBJ
lquely upon this strata, and being totally
reflected, reaches the eye of the observer
just as it ould if reflected from water
The phenomenon is, strictly speaking,
one Of refraction rather than reflection.
Now, just as the glass lens forms an image
on the screen, so the crystalline lens of the
eye forms an image on the retina sensi-
tive back part of the eye. This retina image
Is inverted, as all retina images are, and
being projected to another strata of rari-
fed air above has the effect of making the
deusion perfect. Rayleigh further says
that there has been much unnecessary
speculation in connection with the theory
of inverted retina images. the mystery be-
ing that we do not see all things inverted
The truth of the matter is-now look for
something you never saw in a book-we do
not see the retina image at all. We only
feel it. If we could see the image on the
eye of some one else we would certainly
see 1t inverted.

At St. Georges Hospital the inaugural
address was delivered by DR.. George D.
Pollock, who, after narrating the early
history of the institution, said 1t was re-
built in 1884 when sanitary science was
rot so well understood as it was today.
The defects of the building originally
constructed, therefore, had been source
of constant expense, and though every eff
fort had been made to secure efficient SAM
tation, there were still some drawbacks,
which he hoped might be removed by the
rebuilding and considerable extension of
the hospital in the direction of Hyde Park
place. The lecturer proceeded to impress
upon the students the Importance of con-
siderirg temper and temperament in deal
ing with patients, and strongly urged upon
them the necessity of having regard to
idiosyncrasies.

the vegetable kingdom, without most
alarming symptoms. Some friends wish
ing to test the matter, had some biscuits
prepared with but single grain of rice in
each one His relative partook Of two or
three of these biscuits, and, becoming un-
comfortable, left the table, declaring that
If he were not morally certain that he had
not partaken Of rice he should say he had
been poisoned by 1t. He had heard of
case in which nan could not eat goose
berries without certain rash manifesting
itself, who, at fashion able party, soon
after the champagne had been handed
round, pulled up his sleeves and showed
friend that particular rash appearing.
What applied to gooselerries applied to
drugs, and doctors should be careful of pre-
scribing these which the patient said did
not agree with him. Lord Byron, in one of
his conversations with Lady Blessington,
remarked that medical men did not attend
sufficiently to idiosyncrasies. and thought
that what had cured one man would cure
another with a similar disease. Lord By
ron was an acute observer, and judged
rightly, although he expressed himself in
ans exaggerated manner in regard to idi-
osyncraSies.
