A Boys Fatal Prank.

Miss Ella Templin is dying at her
home, Douglass. Pa, as the result Of a
boys prank, Miss Templin attended
a party at the residence of Mrs, Ernest
Lash few evenings since. Harry
Potts, boy of thirteen, seeing Miss
Templin lean forward so that the
chair on which she was seated was
poised on its front legs, gave the chair
a kick, throwing her heavily to the
floor. The young woman arose, her
face overspread by a deadly pallor,
and would have fallen had she not
been supported by persons who OBJ
served the change that came over her.
Since then she has been unconscious
much of the time, with frequent copi-
GUS hemorrhages, and it Is stated that
physicians have abandoned hope of her
recovery. During lucid interval she
expressed sympathy for Potts, saying
she knew he meant no harm. Miss
Templin is eighteen years of age.

tract of this kind, but has made an
offer based on the regular rates Of the
company for so many lights, stating,

streets would be substituted. The
company declined to entertain the

Stuck Needles Into Her Flesh.

a well-dressed youngwoman applied
for admission into the Cincinnati Hos
pital last Saturday, suffering terribly
from swollen legs and feet She gave
the name of Miss Nellie Thomas. 1t
was decided to lance the feet, when it
was found the limbs and feet were I'M
bedded with pins and needles. Forty
one needles were extracted from her
body and she was not able till next
day to endure further operations, when
ten more were extracted and it Is
thought others will be found. The
physicians fear blood-poisoning will
set in and that the case in any event
may prove hopeless. The girl protest
ed till after the operations that she
could not tell how her feet and limbs
became embedded with these needles,
but finally she said she had been at
the convent of the Good Shepherd for
several years. She was an orphan and
alone in the world. During her stay
there she had done wrong, and for
every sin she had committed she had
done penance by thrusting a needle
into one of her legs. She explained
that each operation had caused her
agonizing pain, and that at times it
was almost unbearable, but she felt
that she must bear the pain as a recon-
pense for the sin committed. This
mode Of doing penance, she said, had
covered more than two years. Her
wrong doings had been of frequent &C.
currence and she was unable to esti-
mate the number of needles she had
placed in her limbs.

SECRETARY SMITH ON SILVER.

Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the
Interior, made an able argument in
favor of sound money and against free
silver at Gainesville, Ca, on Tuesday.
He gave a clear and concise history of
money in this country. He said that
he was opposed to the free coinage Of
silver, which means that silver shall
be coined free for the owners of bullion
at the expense Of the people he did
not favor unlimited coinage, which
means that the government should
coin all that was offered, regardless of
other considerations. He took the
ground that no one nation can restore
the value Of silver to what it used to
be. The lessened cost Of production
and the enormous increase in the out
put of the great mines of the west has
necessarily brought down the price,
just as prices on other articles have
been lessened by facilities for increased
production.
Instead Of free silver at l6 to l,
which means silver monometalhsm, a
contraction of the currency and
temporary and permanent injury to
business, the Secretary urged the ne
cessity for a sound currency consisting
Of gold, silver and paper, but every
dollar kept as good as any other dol
lar. This would allow the coinage Of
all silver which could be held at an
equal exchangeable value with gold.
This would allow the Improvement of
our banking system even to the extent
Of repeating the tax upon State banks
under well-prepared provisions regu-
lating the issue of notes and giving
safety to the bill-holders.
The Secretary took hopeful view
of the political situation from the
Democratic standpoint. He said: 1t
is source of qualification to Demo-
Gratis to know the troubles of 1898
were brought upon the country by the
unwise legislation of the previous ad-
ministration. Your representatives at
Washington were confronted with
many difficulties. No civil crisis has
been more serious. Let the return OF
prosperity, let the daily news that fac
tories are again at work, and that one
million wage-earners have had their
wages increased, let the rise in value
of farm products tell how they have
succeeded. The Mckinley bill has
been repealed, the credit of the gov
eminent has been preserved, money
has been kept sound and we will 60 to
the country in 1896 with the Demo
cratic party fighting further high tariff
legislation, opposing bad money and
assured of success.

Last June Dick Crawford brought
his twelve-months-old child, suffering
from infantile diarrhpa, to me. 1t had
been weaned at four months old and
had always been sickly. I gave it the
usual treatment in such cases but with
out benefit. The child kept growing
thinner until it weighed but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
l then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhpa Remedy. Before one bottle of
the % cent size had been used very
marked Improvement was seen and
its continued use cured the child. Its
weakness and puny constitution dis
appeared and It's father and myself be-
lieve the child's life was saved by this
Remedy. ]. T. MARROW, NJ. D., Tam

Cigarette Law Nullified.

Judge Nathan Golf, of the Circuit
| Court of the United States for the Dis
trict of West Virginia, has handed
down his decision in the habeas corpus
case of Frank A. Miner, which in
volved the validity Of the amendatory
act passed by the recent Legislature
requiring retail dealers in cigarettes
or cigarette paper in this State to pay
license tax of FIVE hundred dollars.
The decision is unfavorable to the act
and declares it unconstitutional and
void. The facts in the case are in
substance about as follows On the 23d
day of last May, following the passage
of said act, the American Tobacco
Company, of New York, shipped to the
petitioner, Frank a. Miner, in Mar
tinsburg, at his request, on conslgn-
ment, to be sold at retail by him as
the agent of said company, fifty boxes
or packages of cigarettes. The ciga-
rettes so shipped were exposed for sale
by him and one package sold. Miner
had 10 State license to sell cigarettes
at retail, and was arrested for so doing.
On due application the writ Of habeas
corpus was issued by Judge Golf, re-
turnable before him in the United
States Circuit Court at Martinsburg
on June 20, at which time there was
full argument of all the questions
involved and the case was submitted
to Judge Golf on its merits. 1t was
insisted that Miner was unlawfully
detained because the act in question
was in violation of the commercial
clauses of the constitution of the United
States, and that said legislation, so far
as it concerns the business of selling
and dealing in cigarettes in the orig
inal packages as imported by him to
the State of West Virginia from an
other State, was unconstitutional and
void. Judge COTS decision is very
elaborate, fully covering all the ques-
tons raised in the case, and concludes
as follows 81 reach the conclusion
that said section &C, as amended in
the act of the Legislature of the State
of West Virginia, passed February p,
1895, entitled AN act to amend and
re-enact sections l, 2, 60, 6 and 81
of chapter 80 of the code, so far as
it applies to cigarettes imported from
another State into the State of West
Virginia and sold by the importer
within said last-named State in the
original packages, is a burden upon
commerce among the States, and to
this extent in violation of the CONNER
cial clauses of the constitution Of the
United States, and also that so far as
it relates to cigarettes manufactured
in another State and by the manufac-
turer sent into West Virginia in the
original packages for sale by the agent
of the manufacturers, and 50 sold in
such packages by such agent, it is for
the same reason imperative and void.
1t follows that petitioner must be dis
charged from the custody Of the officer
now OBTAINING him, and it IS so or
dered.

To Give Home Folks a Chance.

To Give Home Folks Chance.
The Hagerstown fair directors have
decided to give home stock raisers a
better chance to take premiums at the
annual exhibitions. Heretofore the
home farmers were obliged to compete
with foreign people who make bus
mess of feeding fine stock and exhibit
ing at the fairs in herds throughout
the country. In this way the herds
carry off most of the premiums wher-
ever they 60. Hereafter at the Ha-
gerstown fair all stock grown in Wash
ington county and the other counties
associated with the Hagerstown fair
will be entered in the "home" class
and viii not be brought into COMPETE
ton with foreign herds, which the
board at one time, to solve the diff
Guilty, thought of excluding.
