ST. JOSEPH's ASYLUM.
The Annual Report Submitted to the
Authorities.

Sister Euphrasia, In charge of st. Jo-
seph's Male Orphan Asylum, has submitted
her annual report of the operations of the
institution for the past fiscal year. The re-
port sets forth that 'for forty years this
Institution has been under the charge of
the Sisters of the Holy Cross, and though,
until three years ago, it was entirely de-
pendent upon the sisters solicitations for
aid, more than hundred homeless boys
have constantly been housed, clothed. fed
and instructed beneath st. Joseph's shell
tering roof.
July A. 1892. Congress. recognizing the
merits of the institution and the uncertain
ty of support which had to rely altogether
upon charity, granted the asylum a small
appropriation of 5000. This was reduced
In 1898 to $1,1s1 and since then increased to
$500.
THAT such a sum is by far inadequate
to maintain the asylum is evident from
the following statement: Receipts-Cash
en- hand July /, 1894, $50; received from
government Congressional appropriation,
$500; received from donation party, be-
quests, subscriptions and private charity,
2,5n; cash from half orphans, SITS: cash
from day school, $4O5. 81; total cash receiv-
ed. $5,262 45: donations of provisions and
clothing solicited, s1,2S4; total cash and

HIS STOMACH COLLAPSED.
Recovery of ChicagOnn From ,
Wonderful Surgical Operation.

Wonderful Surgical Operation.
From the st. Louis be-Democrat.
Col. Benz. F. Norton, well known in Chi
cago politics, who Is at the home Of his
daughter in New York, has rallied from
one Of the most remarkable operations
known in surgery. Col Norton, when he
came here, began to have intense pains in
his stomach. A structure formed In the
outlet and communication between his
mouth and stomach became impossible.
Despite the best medical skill he was slow
ly starving to death. Physicians were call
ed in. An operation was decided upon. 1t
was performed July q. A hole was cut in
his stomach about two inches above the
navel large enough for a hand to be in
serted. 1t was found that the walls of the
stomach had collapsed, and lay fiat against
the spine DR.. Weir pinred the forward
wall to the intestines with two gold pins,
each four inches in length The stomach
was stitched to the intestines on August l,
and the pins were withdrawn. Then a sill
yer tube was inserted in the wound,
piece Of rubber tubing attached to it, and
through this canal food was forced into the
stomach. daily wash of nitrate of silver
cured the ulcers. A sounder, consisting of
a jet bulb on the end of a whalebone rod,
was inserted once q week. This opera ton
will have to be kept up for a year or more
to keep the passage from growing together
again.

No Proof Against Them.

The Attorney General has received a re-
port from United States Attorney Wolfe at
Pensacola. Florida, stating that two par
ties who were arrested on information fur
nished by the Spanish vice consul at
Tampa, upon trial, had been discharged by
the United States commissioner at Cedar
Keys. Attorney Wolfe says that the evil
dence showed conclusively that these men
had secretly conveyed to Isolated places
on Cedar Keys a large quantity of arms
and ammunition, provisions, ETC., presum-
ably to be used in Quitting an expedition
against the Spanish authority in Cuba.
That such was the use to which the arms
were to be put, however, could not be
proved, and the men were discharged. The
arms and ammunition which were seized
by the government will be restored to the
parties from whom they were taken, I'M
less by additional evidence the libel is sus-
tanned.

Don't Like Hedges.

Bicyclists in the region round about ST.
Johns Mich, have a queer but substantial
grievance. The fields and farms there
abouts are bounded and guarded with quick
set hedges instead of by fences. At this
time of year the farmers trim their hedges,
and as a consequence all the roads in the
region are strewn thickly with boughs full
Of briers, sharp slivers Of tough wood and
short snippings Of hedge points, which pune
ture bicycle tires as readily and perhaps
more seriously than steel tacks.

DEATH OF M. j. DUNN
Florence's Blow Was Not the Cause, Saws
the Coroner.
Result of Too Much Liquor-The Man
to De Tried for an
Assault.

A Capitol guide named Michael ]. Dunn
died at the Eemergency Hospital yesterday
afternoon, his demise being directly due to
dellrium trenens, which developed after he
had been admitted to the hospital for treat
ment for a scalp wound. After the sur
gecns had dressed the wound Dunn was
put to bed, and almost Immediately there
after became delirious.
The wounded head was the result of q
drunken melee Friday last between the de-
ceased and another Capitol guide named
Oliver S. Florence. 1t seems that the two
men, who bore the reputation OF being
hard drinkers, fought over some trif1lng
natter in front of a saloon on Pennsyl-
vania avenue near Sd street. Dunn receiv-
ing several blows from a heavy cane held
by Florence. Florence was placed under
arrest, but was the next day released on
bcr DIS in the Police Court. Upon the death
of Dunn, however, he was again placed be-
hind the bars. Although 1t was not thought
that the wounded head was the cause
of death, Coroner Hammett decided to hold
an autopsy and make thorough investi-
cation Of the affair.
The deceased as thirty-seven years of
age and native of this city. He resided
at 342 Pennsylvania avenue with his wife
and three young children. When rearrested
and informed of the death of Dunn Flor
ence appeared greatly distressed. but in
SiSleu mat the DlOW ne StruCh QlQ not emu
the life Of his fellow guide.
No Inquest.
Coroner Hiinmett viewed the remains to-
day and decided that neither an inquest
nor an autopsy was necessary. the cor
oner basing his decision chiefly on a GER
tificate of DR.. Shortlidge of the Emergency
Hospital staff. setting forth that, in the
opinion of the physician. death was due
solely to alcoholism. and that the wound
was not Instrumental in ending the life of
Dunn. After a careful examination of the
cut Coroner Hammett reached the same
conclusion as did DR.. Shortlidge.
At the direction Of the widow the body
was removed to Lees undertaking estab-
lishment, to be prepared for burial.
Only an Assault.
Mr.. A. r. Mullowney, the United States
attorney for the District, said this after
noon that in view of the result of the cor
oner's inquest the charge of murder would
not be pressed against Florence. The man
will probably be prosecuted for assault, the
charge upon which he was first arrested.
Mr.. Mullowney said that he was not ia
miliar with the case and did not know
whether there were any eyewitnesses to
the occurrence. but that Florence would be
brought to trial in the Police Court.

The Ghost Of a Chance.

Is very shadowy affair. Ere the
chance of recovery becomes Il van
ishing ghost, take most potent
means of overcoming the inactivl-
ty of the organs that terminates in
their too frequently fatal disease,
by resorting to Hostetter's Stom-
ache Bitters, which gives just the
requisite impulse to the renal or
gans to promote their vigorous ac-
tion without exciting them, an
effect too often produced by the
fiery and unmedicated stimulents
of commerce. Bright's disease,
diabetes and inactivity of the blad-
der, are foes of terrible menace to
the system. The inroads may, how
ever, be stayed if they are met at
the start and combatted with the
Bitters. This fine and genial cor
rective also remedies malaria, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, debility, ner-
vousness and the infrmities incident
to age 1t hastens convalescence,
and is promotive of sleep and appe-
tite.

Anyone who has ever had an at.
tack of infammatory rheumatism
will rejoice with Mr., j, A. Stumm,
22O Boyle Heights, Los Angeles,
over his fortunate escape from a
siege of that distressing ailment.
Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Merriams
confectionery establishment, Some
months ago, on. leaving the heated
work room to run across the street
on an errand, he was caught out in
the rain. The result was that when
ready to go home that night he was
unable to walk. owing to mAamma-
tory rheumatism, He was taken
home, and on arrival was placed in
front of a good fire and thoroughly
rubbed with Uhamberlain's Pain
Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed
with this liniment, and by morning
was relieved of all rheumatic pains.
He now takes especial pleasure in
praising Chamberlaln's Pain Balm,
and always keeps a bottle of it in
the house. For sale by Smith Drug

TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
This is the Exact Sum Bid for the
TexarEana Furniture Factory
by J. Deutschman,

Yesterday we made a short no.
tice Of the sale of the Texarkana
Furniture Factory, to Mr.. Joseph
Deutchman, of our city, tor twelve
hundred dollars. The reporter
called on Mr.. Deutchman as soon as
helearned this fact and was told by
the gentlemen that such was the
fact.
This plant was valued at 100000
and the citizens subscribed a bonus
of IS, 600, or which $4,000 was paid,
to get the plant to locate here and
it was run for four or more years
under varying circumstances. 1t
turned out several thousand dollars
worth of furniture per month,
which was readily sold at good
prices, and to good parties The
greatest drawback to the success of
the enterprise was the allowance
Of large salaries to perfunttory
officers, who lent their name to
give the concern credit, and took in
return a big nice salary, With
this leak and the pay roll of seveh-
ty.ilve men, and lumber bills to
meet, the concern fell behind, and
the middle man was sought after
and money borrowed, and soon the
interest kept the thing sapped Of

sleeves rolled up and the bead Of
perspiration standing on their brow
could give 1t, "The structure was

IMPORTANT RULING.
Affecting Local Option by the Court
Of Civil Appeals

In the court of civil appeals last
Wednesday Chief Justice Lightfoot
in the case of Kimberly VS. Morris ct
al, from Hopkins county, rendered
an interesting opinion bearing on
local option. This in substance is
the history of the case: A petition
of 400 citizens was presented to the
county commissioners court asking
for county election on the loca
option question. The commission
ers' court refused to order the cleo
tion on the ground that the local
option law of 1893 was unconstitu-
tional, and on the further ground
that prohibition already prevailed
in the precincts of the county and
that therefore the people of that
precinct would have no right to
vote in a new county election.
The petitioners then applied
through Kimberly to the jury of
the commissioners court to order
the election for the county.
Judge Teruneh refused the manda-
mus and held with the commission
ers' court on the two points nam
ed.
Judge Lightfoot reversed the
case. He holds that the act of 1898
was constitutional, that it was the
duty Of the commissioners court to
order the election as asked for, and
that they had no discretion in the
matter, the requisite number of
qualified voters having asked for
the election. The court also holds
that the fact that one or more pre-
cincts have already voted and
adopted local option did not inter
tere with the right of the people to
have an election for the entire
county, and vice versa; that the
election for the entire county did
not affect the right of the people
of any precinct or subdivision of
the county to have an election. The
court also holds-aud on this point
it got the opinion of the supreme
court-that the district judge
should have issued the writ of man
damus requiridg the commissioners
court to order the election. Judge
Terhune is instructed to issue the
writ.
