Another Important Matter Upon Which
the Doctors Disagree.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Dr William II.
Cook, of this city, who has spent forty
years in the pursuit and practice of
his profession, has prepared for dis
tribution among the physicians of
the city pamphlet in which he
denounced the use of the anti-tox-
inc remedy for diphtheria as in
sanity and scores the commissioner
of health of Chicago for permitting
the department physicians to use the
serum. He says that horse serum pro-
duces blood poisoning and that doc
tors are fools to inject it into human
blood. The doctor declares that some
persons are SO susceptible to the fad
that it kills them. and says the fad"
will disappear in year.

POOR BoeoLInk.

Barbarous Treatment of Song Bird BY
the Scrapple Eaters.
Philadelphia is the only city in the
world where the reed bird can be
found in state of overrunning obesi-
ty. and the only place where it can be
cooked to perfection. In New York
the French cooks conceal its delicate
toothsomeness in rich dressing. There
they know as little about reed birds
as they do about terrapin, scrapple
and pepper-pot. Recently there was
given in this city a dinner in which
reed birds were served in thirteen diff
ferent forms. Among the courses were
soup made from reed birds. reed birds
stuffed with Blue Point oysters, reed
birds placed inside of followed
potato and roasted, reed birds stuffed
with herb filing and baked. reed
birds stewed with fresh mush-
rooms, reed birds split and broiled-
an abominable practice, by the way;
reed birds saute, and seeming pie,
from which, when the crust was lifted,
two dozen reed birds few forth and
around the room.
But after all, there is only one way
TO cook and eat succulent reedies-
saute! Select birds which have little
clumps of yellow fat on both sides Of
the part last over the fence. Place
them in saucepan-or, better still, .
chatting dish-with plenty of the best
butter. salt, black pepper, and a plenti.
full sprinkling of paprika-the sweet
Hungarian pepper which nowadays
can be found in any frst-class grocery.
They must not be split and their
heads must not be removed. Cook
them for Eve or six minutes, ac-
cording to the size of the bird
and the heat of the fire, but do not
allow the yellow fat to become
Drowned. Nothing could be simpler,
and yet few. very few, cooks can pre-
pare the reed bird without destroying
its toothsomeness.
This is an art also in the eating OF
his daintiness, but it can only be APP
piled to birds of the character and pre-
pared in the manner described above.
Wiring OF the head and sink your
teeth into and absorb the brains.
Then hold the little darling aloft by
the protruding bones Of both legs. and,
slipping him into watering mouth,
crunch your way through his carcass
until not bit of him remains but the
leg bones. Then cast your eyes above
and say grace. That's eating reed
birds, that is.-Philadelphia Times.

Accident tho New York, New Haven =
Hartford Railroad.
HYDE PARK, Mass, Oct. 25.-A tail
end collision. by which two persons
were fatally hurt, three or four Sc
rious1y injured and some twenty 9TH
-ers more or less bruised, occurred here
last night. The New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford passenger train which
leaves Sharon for Boston at Sis was
a trifle late, and was standing at the
Hyde Park station taking on and dis
charging passengers, being directly on
the time of the passenger train which
left Providence for Boston at Ais.
The latter train came steaming down
the line and crashed into the sta
tionary train.
The engine of the Providence train
was forced through nearly half the
length of the rear car. which was
filled with passengers. and practi-
cally injured all the occupants of that
car.
After the accident all the physicians
in town were summoned as quickly as
it was possible to reach them, and the
.depet was temporarily converted into
n hospital and everything was done to
relieve the sufferings of the injured.
Two persons. one a brakeman on the
Sharon. train. the other a woman.
were found to be badly and probably
fatally hurt. Their names are at pres
.-ent unknown.
The passengers were mostly men,
land their injuries for the most part
were In the nature of Commissions or
bruises, caused by being thrown to
the floor or against the seats by the
force of the collision.

In running trains on the right hand

When the returns are all in from

republicans will probably realize that
victory in 1895 will not be quite SO
easy to achieve as many republican
statesmen and newspapers have been
predicting. The notion that they can
elect anybody, on any sort of plat
form, next year, which has been preva-

surd and mischievous, and the quicker

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 1s. 1885

The civil service commission having
failed to have the anti-Gorman post
master at Baltimore punished for an
alleged infraction Of the civil service
rules, is now seeking q new victim IN
the person of the chief of the bureau o.
engraving and printing in Washington,
who, they say, has also set those rules
at defiance, by removing many negro
women who were employed in that
bureau as printers assistants. The
main reason why the 53rd Congress,
democratic in both branches, will die,
unwept, unhonored and unsung, is be-
cause it did not repeal the civil service
law, and abolish that absurd humbug'
the civil service commission.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.

Correspondence Of the AleIandris Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
Counsel in the Howgate case held q
consultation with Justice McCOmas at
the opening Of the court this morning
about the time likely to be required for
argument in order that the court might
excuse temporarily the remainder OF
the panel of jurors. These jurors were
excused until Thursday. Mr.. Worth.
ington for the defense called as the first
witness Mr.. +. B. Hay, prominent
Washington attorney, who appeared as
an expert ia penmanship in the Brock
inridge-Pollard case. District Attorney
General Birney objected to any exami-
nation of Mr.. Hay as an expert in a
criminal case OH the ground that pho
tographic copy was not sufficient basis
for comparison. Mr.. Worthington
then urged warmly that the govern
mcnt witnesses had been allowed to
testify about the commences Of the
signature and he could not see why the
same privilege should not extend to
witnesses for the defense. After some
parleying the testimony of the witness
was excluded. When Mr.. Hay step
ed down MIR. Worthington, for the de-
Tense, moved that the Photographic
copies of the Sll 800 voucher and the
$1,000 voucher be excluded. This
was refused, and the defense announced
its case closed. The jury was then ex-
cused to give the attorneys time to sub
NIT prayers for instructions and the
court to pass upon them.
