cannot fail to be of at least passing inter

The law TO prohibit the throwing of dead
animals INTO public streams is very severe
and should be a check to the practice so com

along the edge Of the river in a single day last
week, and ne thinks something should be
done 70 bring the parties who put animals
into the river or slough to justice
There are some persons who insist that
we must keep on using the river water
for domestic purposes. If this is to be so
If the two-thirds OF the people who de-
mand something better are to be com

Not a Long Campaign.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 90
In an interview S. p. Sheerin,
secretary of the Democratic Ma
tional committee, says he does not
believe the committee will meet
before the middle of January to
fix the time and place of the ma
tional convention. He says con-
ference of the officers of the COM
mittee has not even been suggested.
"There seems to be an impression
among the republicans that there
will be a long hard-fought cam
paign," said Mr.. Sheerin. "The
leaders of that party seem to be-
lieve they ought to get into the
campaign as early as possible. 1
believe the business world would
like to see short campaign"
Mr.. Sheerin also had long talk
with Gov. Matthews. He did not
announce the subject under discus
sion, but it is believed that the
governors candidacy for the presi-
dency was the subject.

Stole the Stakes and Jewels.

HEMPsTEAD, n. ", Oct. 26.-De-
tectives are trying to locate the
thieves who robbed the Meadow
brook Hunting clubs house, near
this place, during the big golf
match on last Saturday. 1t is now
asserted that the thieves stole jew
elry valued at from $6, 900 to 81 600,
in addition to the 81 900 which had
been posted as part of the stakes
in the golf match, and that they
took a diamond skirt pin valued at
$4,000, belonging to Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt.

A New Fabric.

Referring to "gelsoline," the new
fabric or material prepared from the
fiber of the bark of the mulberry tree
without the interven ton of the silk
worm, technical Journal remarks
upon the singular fact of there being
three absolutely distinct fbers pro-
durable from or peculiar to that tree.
Thus, in addition to the ordinary silk,
a strong and thick fiber for certain pur-
poses is obtained by killing the silk
worm and drawing the thread out of its
inside; in the preparation of the gelso-
line the bark is rotted and the fiber
treated after the manner of fax and after
publication with soap and soda is ready
for the weaving shed-some works in
Italy, as appears, already producing
thousands of yards of the woven fabric
for upholstery purposes. This new ma
terial is said to be ten times as stong as
middling Orleans cotton and is obtain
able at one-tenth the price of flax; be.
ing perfectly round, the fiber insures
close fabric.

Rev. Cleveland in Trouble.

WATERFOWL, n. Y, Oct. 3d.
The Presbytery of st. Lawrence,
which includes Jefferson and st.
Lawrence county churches of the
Presbyterian faith, is in session in
this city considering request from
about half of the Chsumont church,
of which Rev. William N. Cleve-
land, brother of President Cleve-
land, is pastor, that the pastoral re-
lations be dissolved. This is re-
opening of the trouble between Mr..
Cleveland and a portion of his con-
gregation, which is said to have
arisen because of his ardent devo.
ton to the political principles Of
his brother and too much alleged
activity in proclaiming them. So
far no conclusion has been reached.

BELL RINGING CHAM PIoN.
A Young Man Captures Brussels by His
Beautiful Chimes.


A curious incident is reported from
Brussels. The position of bell-ringer
was left vacant by the death of the last
incumbent, and eight applicants con-
tested in open competition for the
place. An immense crowd lined the
place in front of the city hall, and the
windows and balconies of all the houses
surrounding the square were crowded.
The city fathers and their families,
members of the press and the jury had re-
served places on the roof of the city hall.
OF the sixteen original applicants, nine
had backed out, but in the eleventh
hour a new candidate announced his
intention to compete, the bell-ringer
from the city of Alost, rather young
man by the name of De Mette. On the
Maison du Roi, upon the tower of
which the chimes are located, the num-
Der of each competitor was fastened on
the large balcony so that everybody
could see who was playing The two
first competitors played rather indiffer-
emily, while the third had much sue
cess with his rendition of the "Marseil-
laise" and God Save the Queen"
The next competitors played local airs,
the Blue Danube Waltz" "Tarara-
boom-de-aye" and similar popular
tunes, but did not make much of an inn
preston. The last candidate began
with a powerful and excelently per-
formed prelude, changing into varia-
tions on airs from 1.-The Daughter OF
she Regiment" and finishing with
popular lively air. His play seemed to
act like magic, and enthusiastic APP
plause swept over the entire market
square. The people had proclaimed
their choice, and the jury immediately
ratified the popular selection. From
the balcony of the city hall the victcry
of number eight, the Aiost bell-ringer,
was announced, and he was nominated
for life for the position, paying him
three thousand six hundred francs
year. After the decision De Mette was
carried on the arms of many admirers
from the Maison du Roi to the city hall
across the square, and received there
an enthusiastic ovation from the hands
of the assembled citizens of Brussels.

CONSIDERATION.
HOW THE CEREMONY Is OBSERVED
A Most Beautiful and imposing AZ
fair, TO Be Witnessed Next
Monday.

The conservation of Bishop Elect
John Anthony Forest, which will
be accomplished in San Antonio
with much pomp and ceremony
next Monday morning, will be car
ried out on the following rules, as
prescribed for such occasions.
From the Southern Messenger
For the conservation of a Bishop
three Bishops have to officiste,
one to perform the conservation
and two to assist. 1t is to be
noticed that the elected Bishop,
at the beginning OF the consecra-
ton, does not not wear any OF the
Insignia Of a Bishop, as for in
stance the mitre, the crosier, the
pectoral cross, or the ring, and a
part OF the ceremonies has for OBJ
ject the transferring OF these in.
SIGMA to him.
Right at the beginning, the
senior assisting Bishop addresses
the consecrator: "Right Rev. or
Most Rev. FATHER, 1t is the wish Of,
Mother Church that you may raise
the Priest here present to the
Episcopate." The consecrator
then asks: "Do you have the man
date OF the Holy See"-"We have
it."-"Let il be read. Here the
consecrator's secretary takes the
bulls from the hands OF the senior
Bishop, and reads them from the
beginning to the end. Immediately
after this the Bishop-elect reads
the Bishops oath in which he
promises obedience to the Pope
and his successors; the observance
Of the DEGREES, precepts, ETC., Of the
Church; the visit ad limina once
in ten years, to give an account Of
his administration, etc.; not to
ALLEVIATE the property OF the do
cese, etc. Aftor the taking of the
oath, the donsecrator commences
the examination, and the assist
ing Bishops in a lower tone of
voice ask the questions with him.
The Bishop. elect is asked whether
he is willing to apply himself to
the study of Holy Scriptures; to
to his flock by word
and example the knowledge he
possesses OF Divine Scriptures; to
accept, to teach, and to observe
the traditions Of the Fathers OF
the Church, the DEGREES OF the
holy Apostolic See; to be faithful
aud obedient to st. Peter, the Pope
and his successors; to abstain
from all evil; to be chaste and
sober and to teach these virtues;
not to NEEDLE with temporal
traffic, ETC., as far as possible; to
be humble and patient and to
teach these virtues; to be meek |
and generous to the poor, the
stranger, and the needy. To every
one Of these questions the Priest
about to be consecrated as Bishop |
answers: al am willing" Then
he Is examined on his faith. He
Is asked whether he belives In the
Blessed Trinity and all what the
Church teaches about that
mystery, in the Nativity, the
nature, the death, and the resur-
rection Of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and His coming again to judge
The living and the dead; in the

DISHONEST DRUGGISTS.
Ono of the Practices by Which They Make
Money But DO Great Injury.

Ono of the Practices by Which They Make
Money But DO Great Injury.
Patients often wonder why it is that
physicians are SO positive in their in
structions as to the drug store at which
prescriptions are to be filed. Nearly
every physician, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, uses prescription
blanks furnished by druggist in
whom he has confidence, and bearing
upon them the full name and address Of
the favored dispenser of drugs. Free
quently when disease fails to yield to
powerful remedies prescribed, the at
tending physician asks anxiously
where the prescription was filed, and
sometimes insists on satisfying himself
by glance at the labels on the bottles
or boxes. 1t is a matter of current
gossip that there is a financial under
standing between the physician and
the druggist, and that, in addition to
his stipulated fees, the former gets
percentage on the amount charged for
preparing the medicines called for In
the series of hieroglyphics which go to
make up prescription.
The code of ethics, idiotic as it is in
some of its statements and require
ments, has at least the merit of de-
manding professional responsibility,
and anything like rake-off on pre-
scriptions is a distinct breach of tho
strict code of laws laid down for the
guidance of the medical profession.
The doctors themselves are practically
a unit in denying that they have any
business understanding at all with the
drug trade or any members of it. They
give as a reason for insisting upon GER
tain druggists being patronized the
danger that is incurred from an offense,
which in some cases is an actual crime,
and which is known among doctors,
nurses and druggists as Substitution"
Some physicians, with a view to still
further protecting their reputation
and their clients health, prescribe
special compounds under names and
signs known only to themselves and
the particular druggists whom they
place confidence. Others, who are of a
less inventive turn of mind, prescribe
drugs recognized in the national and
international pharmacopeia, but dis
tinctly decline to assume responsibility
for a case if their prescriptions are
filed at any drug store which hap
pens to be convenient for the patient or
his nurses.

Novel Advertising Scheme.

DETROIT, Oct. pa merchant
in the interior Of the state has
evolved a novel advertising
scheme, but is in some doubt as to
his right to use it. The plan is to
stick a paster on silver dollar
which says: "Send or bring me
back to the store Of -, where
Pm worth $l.05." Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Wilkins received a
letter from the originator Of the
plan in which he set forth his sys-
tenn in detail, and asked il there is
any provision of the treasury de.
partment against it. Mr.. wilkins
looked up the question and an
swered that there is no statute to
prevent it. He has, however, writ
ten to the secretary of the treasury
to ascertain IL the department has
any ruling which prevents the
use of United States coin for ad
vertising purposes.
