told the Grand Jury how ex-Supervisor
Albert Heyer came to tell him about the
90 pound pig which Mr., bunker was said
to have received. Mr.. Brandt had heard
the gossip about the ''sack" that had been
raised for the Health and Police Commit
tee, but OF his personal knowledge could
tell nothing.
Then Albert c. Heyer, the son of the ex-
Supervisor, who is claimed to have dis
coursed on 90-pound pigs, was called.
Young Mr.. Heyer only testified that he
did not say what his father is said to have
said and was excused, and John Mayer
was called. ~
Mr.. Nager and his brother have one of
the largest dairies in this district. Both
Henry Tessmer and John Pfennirger claim
that Mr.. Mayer talked to them about the
mllkmen having money to use in the fight
before the Supervisors. But last night Mr.
Nager declared that he had not contributed
a cent toward beating the petition for the
extension OF the pound limits.
at this juncture the remaining wit
nesses were excused for the time being.
There were two notable absentees
among the witnesses. One was Mr.. Barri-
dori, a dairyman, who, it is claimed, said
that bargain was made with the Super
visors and $500 paid them. The other
was John Pfenninger, nurseryman, who
claims to have been told number of sug-
gestive things by several owners of cow
ranches.
In letter to THE CALL Mr.. Pfenninger
corrected several statements made by Mr..
Tessmer in his communication to the
Grand Jury. Mr.. Pfenninger wrote:
do not own whole block. 1 own part of
it and rent some more.
did not say Mr.. Gradwohl, the cattle-dealer,
paid $50 to the milkmen's support, but that
he paid $40.
Madame Bauer did not say that Mr.. Kohn,
the cattle-dealer on Mission street, paid $1,000,
Dut that he gave $500 and would pay $500
more.

SHE LONGED FOR DEATH
Mrs. Kahn Takes an Overdose of
Morphine in a Restau-
rant.
She Had Violent Quarrel With Her
Mother and Then Tried to End
Her Life.

A young and pretty girl took an over
dose of morphine at the Delmonico Tues
day night and went to bed to die.
She engaged her apartments late at
night and apparently retired to rest. That
was the last seen of her until she was dis
covered in convulsions yesterday morning.
She was taken to the Receiving Hospital.
There she was treated for morphine poison
ing. The antidotes administered had the
desired effect, and the mysterious young
woman bade adieu to the place at noon
without leaving her name or address.
She was fasbionably attired, wore costly
jewels, and generally displayed an excel
lent taste in manner and dress.
The young lady was sent to the hos
pital in a carriage and she went away in
the same vehicle. She was traced, how
ever, to Gil Treat street, where a Mrs.
Hunt lives. Mrs. Hunt was as silent and
cold as clam W hen interrogated regard
ing her fashionable ward. She positively
denied that the strange young lady was an
inmate of her household.
Later in the day the young woman re-
turned to her lodgings at 311 Taylor street.
She was not at home to visitors last night.
She sent down word, however, that she
had slight headache.
1t appears that the young woman, whose
name is Mrs. Kahn, quarreled with some
body other than her mother, and then
took stand against the latter, finally
vacating her lodgings entirely. She then
went on a little excursion about the City,
and closed the incident with an imitation
death scene at the restaurant.
The real cause of Mrs. Kahn's attempt to
end her life is not known. She simply
wanted to die, and would doubtless have
succeeded had she not taken an overdose
of the drug, which was fortu nately con-
fronted with stimulants.
Mrs. Kahn is only 20 years of age. She
is a bleached blonde. The tint is somewhat
decayed. She married young and has one
child. She and her mother and child live
at 311 Taylor street. Her husband per-
manently absents himself for reasons
which he does not make public.

inform Dr. Case that his dear cousin was not
put in Jail for saying that "to worship TIE
Virgin Mary is idolatry." Justus ii. Nelson
was put III jail for blackguardism and inde-
cency. Ny reference is the Methodist Christian
Advocate OF New York. The blsckguardlSm
consisted in going out into the public streets
and trying to break up religious procession
If any man in this town tried to break up
procession of the Salvation Army he would
have been put in Jail. In Brazil they merely
knocked ]. II. Nelson's hat Off
Then when the Rev. Justus II. Nelson used
the columns of two newspapers to utter ln-
decent charges against Catholics in the i'm
pure language affected by his kind, he was
promptly jailed by the Anthony Comstock OF
the place
This was the attack on religious liberty
which DR.. Case cited as a proof of the intoler-
ance of Rome. The vendors of obscene books
and pictures could with as much reason make
the same charge against the laws oi these
United States.
l have already taken up too much of your
space but Dr.. Case must needs touch on many
topics. Let me conclude by advising the A.
p. A. that DR.. Case is too frank for their pur-
pose.
They claim that they are not making reli-
the champion of Professionalism. l am under
the impression that Professionalism is not in
need of such champions. The Protestants OF
this City have too much respect for themselves
and their faith TO employ in its defense forgery,
slander and untruth. Yours, truly,

Chris Buckley's Nephew and Butcher
Exchange Blows.

Exchange BLOWS.
William Harrison, nephew OF Cnris
Buckley, and Patrick McElllgeth,
butcher from Butchertown, got mixed up
in fight on the corner of Ellis and Stock
ton streets last night. A crowd gathered,
and for few minutes there was iively
time. Policemen Wilson and Maloney
appeared upon the scene, separated the
combatants and placed them under arrest.
Harrison objected to go to the City
Prison in the patrol wagon, so coupe was
called at his request and Policeman Ma
loney accompanied him.
McElligeth was taken to the Receiving
Hospital in the patrol wagon and had
lump under his right eye dressed, after
which he was taken to the prison and
charged with disturbing the peace. He
was considerably under the influence of
liquor. and could not give any information
as to the cause of the fight.
Harrison was also charged with disturb
ing the peace, and was released on $40 bail.
He gave the name of Henry Harrison. He
refused to give his version of the trouble.

HYPNOTISM.

Hypnotism as a substitute for
either, chloroform and other OPT
tes is advocated strongly in The
Arena by Dr. James r. Cooke.
He believes seventy-fve to eighty
per cent of the cases in which
such drugs are now used might
be treated with hypnotism. The
shock to the system may be avoid
cd, as we'll as the disagreeable af-
tar effects. A case is described
where prolonged hypnotism was
successfully used to reduce the
pulse, which was 100, of a young
man suffering from a mostpainful
disease, who was a complete ner-
vous wreck, and could obtain no
sleep. In two minutes the pulse
fell to 108, and in thirteen minu-
ties he was breathing deeply in
sleep, and the body was in a state
of repose. In dental operations,
also, DR.. Cooke has frequently
used hypnotism.
It is interesting in this connec-
ton to note also the progress OF
hypnotism in France as o remedy
for drunkenness.
1t IL claimed that persons adj
dicted to the use of alcoholic H.
quors can be entirely cured by
the new French method of hypno-
tism. The patient is hypnotized,
and then told by the doctor that
he must never want to drink
again, but must feel disgust for Ii.
quor. This method of treatment
is said to be successful in every
instance Rams Horn.

Great Loss of Cane.

2 It was not anticipated, when the
cold wave struck this latitude, on
the 9th of December, that the
extent of the damage Of the cane
crop was as considerable as it now
proves to be. Much Of the cane
was then standing in the fields
and it was Immediately wind-row-
ed, but the subsequent warm wea-
Their caused it to sour as fast as
exposed to the sun and air. There
are thousands of tons that will be
lost in this and adjoining parishes
and the planters will have the Ia
Dor and expense of hauling it out
of the fields. The loss falls hea-
West upon those least able to bear

one instance reported to us in this

than 100 tons from a crop of about

Manageable Age For
Women.

Every now and then the subject
of manageable age for girls crops
up, and much superior knowledge
is ventilated for the benefit OF
those who are prospective brides.
In a we'll considered editorial on
this theme, the New York Mercu-
ry has this to say:
The extreme Northern girls RI
pen slowly, especially those whose
ancestry came from the north of
Europe. In the beauty belt of
Georgia and North Carolina the
number of fascinating young wo-
men is really surprising. The soft
and gentle climate has much to do
with it, and then, the girls, al
though enjoying outdoor exer-
else in all seasons, particularly in
wiuter, are more tenderly raised
than their Northern sisters.
The descendants of the Spanish
and French of Louisiana of Cau-
casin blood are noted for their
beauty and willowy forms. Str
ange as it may appear, they are
capable of great strains on their
constitutions, and large families
are the result. When mingled with
other races, notably persons of
Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-American
blood, they are stronger still.
These Louisiana women ripen
fast, and, it may be said, generally
lose their beauty at 40.
Anyone knows, whether florist
or otherwise, that flowers which
come to maturity quickly soonest
pass away. 1t is the same with
fruit, and the same with human
beings. The Northern woman, re-
gorous climate forbids ripening
fast, lasts longest and is in age a
retainer of her early beauty.
| In the beauty belt of Georgia
and South Carolina girls do not
come to maturity as fast as those
of the region bordering on the
Gnlf of Mexico. Motherhood is
deferred in the first and quicken
ed in the second. In New Eng
land or New York marriage be-
tween 20 and % is regarded as
early enough. In Florida or Lou
isiana girl is a women at ID and
16.
So it is impossible for anyone
to fix a marriage standard i'll the
United States. The best judges
of fitness to marry, whether male
Tor female, are the young people
themselves. 1t is folly for people
to fix a standard. The instincts
of nature point out the MARRIAGES.
bic age of the sexes and that is
the safest guide. As to the hap
piness or unhappiness which may
result, that is a matter which time
only can settle.
This is putting the case very
sensibly. 1t does not appear that
late marriages are any happier
than early ones. Many good rea-
sons are urged against them, moi
the least being fixed habits and
opinions in the woman.
The subject is undoubtedly one
which admits of very considera.

world will not settle it. People

PLANT CANE.

LILO ptCoCA0 NSf'c -
price of cane has had the effect OF
discouraging many of the plan
tiers, and has almost completely
scared off a number of smaller
farmers who had contemplated
embarking to a limited extent in
cane culture the present year. In
our judgment this alarm about
the price of cane last fall has been
unnecessary, and it will be seri-
GUS mistake if the farmers of this
section will allow this to influence
them into reducing their acreage.
The low figures ruling in the su-
gar markets this season is by no
means q natural result, but is
brought about by strange COM
bination of abnormal conditions
which are not at all likely to ope-
ate during the coming year, or at
any future period. ..t... t
The introduction of a new aud,
in many respects, radical tariff
bill will at any time have the eff
feet of temporarily depressing the
prices of all products and disturb
ing the ordinary business tran
guilty of the country. The reno
val of the bounty from sugar and
it's substitution by tariff of about
one-half the value of the. bounty
has naturally disturbed the sugar
market to some extent, but this
alone neither explains nor justi-
fies the extent of the drop which
sugar has experienced. The rea-
son is found in the fact that be-
tween the time the new tariff WAS
enacted and the date Oh which it
became a law, the Sugar Trust
loaded up with foreign free sugar
sufficiently to meet the demand
for many months to come without
touching a pound of the present
years crop. This is clearly what
has caused the present unnatural
conditions of the sugar market; it
is the result of a most unfortunate
combination of circumstances
which made it possible for a pri-
vate corporation to bear the mark
ct to the great injury of the pro-
ducer. .....r. "a.
| Of course, the tariff not being
settled and with no possibility of
it's being disturbed for the next
two years at least, it will be i'm
possible for such conditions as
operated to bear the market this
fall, to exist next fall. For this
reason we may confidently expect
to see the sugar. market advance
very materially within the next
few months, and especially will
this be the case should the presi-
dent retaliate against Spain by
placing an embargo upon Cuban
sugar.
In the face of all these facts and
possibilities it would seem to be a
very shortsighted policy for our
planters to pursue, should they,
as has been suggested by some,
abandon their former intention OF
! putting in as much cane as posi-.
BILE the present year. In our judg-
ment, the lands put down in su.
; gar cane this year will be the
most remunerative Of all our far
ming lands next fall. B. r. Ad.
