 An eccentric Irishman named Broone, who lived in Queens county and owned m estate valued at six hundred thou sand dollars, made Mr Towns one of four heirs, and his share will be one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, says an old copy of the Troy Times About ten years ago an old man en- tered his office and requested an inter view

 The ease was that of Mrs, Bridget Rowan against John Beden for dam ages for being bitten by dog and drcnchcd with water from hose, To comply with BrooucS request Mir Towns summed up tho case as desired After reciting how Bcdeu, who

to such degree of excellence is the making of copper wire for electrical purposes brought nowadays that the material submitted is more frequently above that standard than below.
 The single wires having passed the test for purity and conducting power, eleven similar strands are taken and spun into a slender rope in lengths of one mile. Gutta-percha insulation is then applied in sheets prepared from the raw material as it comes to hand from Singapore and other Malay ports, These sheets are wrapped by eX- perienccd hands so firmly and smoothly round the wire that not an air bubble can remain between the copper and it's insulator The "core" is then ready to be submitted to gaitonomcter test, to ascertain whether the insulation is per feet, or as nearly perfect as that very elusive agent, electricity, will permit. That test having been satisfactorily passed, Q workman, whose sole busi- ness is to attend to the joining of the lengths of cable, spices the ends of the mile lengths Again the insulation test is applied The aalvanomcter u- dicatiug no very appreciable loss of electricity, even under the strain of an alternating current of 5000 volts, the core is passed into the hands of the sncathers, whose care it is to surround the copper and .gutta-pcrcha with a more substantial protective covering before they are submitted to the rough action of the sea, And now the weight and size of the cable become appreci- able. Already each mile length has in it some 800 pounds of pure copper and $40 pounds of pure gutta-percha, Over this is spun of coat of jutc yarn weighing nearly GOO pounds to the mile. Then the cable is made the center of a twisted sheath of steel wires of the stoutcst kind, averaging more than 4,O0O pounds to the mile. And finally compound of tar is laid over the whole, which brings its own weight of 500 pounds to the mile After the tar is applied the cable is coiled and left to soak in tanks of water until such time as the cable ship shall be ready to lay itin its last resting place. Such cable as this is made at the rate of fifty to tifty-fvc miles per twenty-tour hours.

Women In RnssIn.

Americans who have exercised them selves about the restricted freedom of persons living in Russia will naturally be surprised to learn how much free dom and power women enjoy in the land of the czar. In some parts of Russia women are not only members of school boards, but also serve as princi- pals of warehouses; and poor guardians. For instance, in one small province last year there were forty-five women in of- flee as superintendcnts of warehouses, ono hundred and twenty-five as poor lew guardians, and two hundred and cighty-thrGe as members of school boards. In Finland the women do d great part of the work that in other countries is left to the men. Most of the oldest and best orchards there were planted and cared for by women, and the author and publisher of the first Finnish work on pomology was q woman. Throughout Finland women are regularly engaged in agricultural labor

EFFECTS OF SUGAR.
Said by Scientists to i2e Beneficial Go th
 IhygiCal system.

Said by Scioutists to i}e Beneficial Go the
 Physical system.
 There are certain medical authorities who have for a long time been arguing in favor of more general use of sugar as an article of diet. They claim that a liberal use of sugar increases the power of resisting fatigue. and enables the individual to perform much more labor than is possible without it. 4 re- port made to the Royal society of England shows the influence of sugar in this direction As an experiment, Q laboriug man lasted one day, taking nothing but water. His conditions, strength, fatigue and labor performed were carefully noted. On another day, five hundred grains of sugar were added to the water, and the same account was taken of the mans physical state It was found that the sugar increased the muscular strength about 70 per cent, and greatly prolonged the period before fatigue was noticeable. Iu another cx- pertinent, sugar added to the food was observed to produce a surprising in crease in muscular energy: 200 Crams with a meal gave 8 maximum of 80 per cent. more strength than was discover. able in it's absence, and 25O grams of sugar Co a meal greatly increased the resistance against wcariucSs and enabled the man to perform, without undue cNcrtion, an average of l2 per cent. more work than he was able to do without it. There isa growing opinion among the best scientific authorities that the cruving of some persons and almost ell children for sugar is not only reasonable, but in direct accord with natural law. Pure sugar is not only wholesome but necessary, and when growing children crave it should never be AcnicA them

MAKING AN OCEAN CABLE.
A Vast Amount of Work Before It Can
 Be Laid In the Ocean.

DD AatAAA III Ahc OtNths
 The making of an ocean cable is a task involving no small, amount of skill and mechanical ingenuity, and it is something to the credit of the first cable makers that their pattern has not greatly changed in thirty years. When the Commercial Cable company decided Co lay new Atlantic cable last year, the work was intrusted to the firm of Siemens Brothers, of Woolwich, Lon don, As this firm has constructed no less than eight out of the eleven cables now linking Great Britain and the United States, says the new Science Re- view, its method of manufacture may be watched as typical of the best. The first care of a cable manufacturer is to secure the very best materials. The copper wire, which forms the heart and essential part of the cable, must be ofthe purest metal, since the purer the metal the higher its standard of conductivity wiilbe. Every strand and every coil of wire that goes into the cable is cx- pected tJ reach csrtoiu standard; and

A German periodical devoted to wood industries announces that food prod ucts consisting partly of wood are now manufactured At Berlin a fac tory has been built which is turning out about two hundred quintals of wooden bread a day. Sawdust is sub jected to chemical treatment, after which it is mixed with one-third farina and prepared like ordinary bread. The product at present serves only as food for horses, but the Berlin Tram way company, which is the most in portant customer of the factory, is well pleased with the results. The manufacturers say that wooden bread constitutes also an excellent food for man.

There are many curious forms among thC fishes known to inhabit the very deepest portions of the deep sea, but there are few such unique specimens as that recently reported to the Berlin ins stitutc from the coast of Morocco. IL was brought up from d depth of one and one-half miles and was wonder to behold. The creature was only about twcnty-ninc inches long, but fully four tifths of its entire length was head and mouth. It is estimated that if the body had been severed just behind the hinges of the jaw ten such bodies" could have been slowed away in it's great pouch-like stomach.

ALL UP THE SAME LADDER

Tne action of the Episcopal convention
at Minneapolis in sending brotherly greet
tDgs to the Methodist conference in session
. few blocks away is an unexpected inno-
Tation on Episcopal precedent. Notwith-
standing the fact that we must all climb
the same lacder to future bliss there is a
rivalry between Ger tain churches that
prevents active cooperation in the work
of Outstanding the world. This ap-
parent jar in the church family is rapidly
moving away, and doubtless the result of
too strict an Interpretation of church crecds.
The various church organizations now
striving to uplift society owe their ex-
istence more TO the different temperaments
of mankind than they do 10 any particular
form Of religion. Emotional people want
method of worship to fit their inclinatious.
Those of a nature easily awed by ceremony
and form seek Divine power in churches
that adopt that form of worship. Others
of more phlegmatic temperament prefer
religion without establishment, and it
will be found by going over the category
of churches that each provides form of
Its membership
As people broaden their views and learn
to look upon the world as place where
every one, good, bad and indifferent, is
entitled to equal opportunities, there will
be fewer bigots and less controversy be-
tween churches Each form OF religion,
from the crudest to that of enlightened
devotees, has but one object, one purpose
in view-to make the world better and to
prepare the way to future life. That
being true, it is almost a wonder that
churches do not fraternize and render
each other more effective mutual assist
aDce in reciaimiug mankind. But we are
all human, and it won't do to grumbie
with the example furnished by the Min
neapolis Episcopal convention before US
as an object lesson.

case will have TO be strong to succeed a
third time.
As matter of justice, Major Armes
should be permitted to make his best
possible defense before the courtmartial.
The simple fact of his having written the
letter may be sufficient to secure his dis
nissal, but inasmuch as he claims persecu-
tion, and says he can prove it, that oppor-
tunity should be given, even IL 1T affects
the reputation of as high and influential
an officer as Gen. Schofield.
The accusation OF Major Armes may be
without foundation. His charge OF per
secution may be the imaginings of an
erratic mind, as has been alleged; but
these facts should be developed at tile trial,
If they are true, and not allowed to
slumber as inanimate allegations which lack
substantial proof.
No development of the courtmartial can
injurc Gen. Schofield IL he is innocent
OF the charge made by Major Armcs, and
il he Is guilty il would be an irreparable
act OF injustice to shield him.

MASSACHUSETTS, DEMOCRATS.

The Old Bay state never does things by
halves. The platform adopted by the Dem
ocrats in convention at Worcester yes
terday accomplished in the beginning
the herculcan task of indorsing President
Cleveland; it declared for Jeffersonian
Democracy, for sound money, for tariff
reform, for home rule for cities, for good
turnpike roads, for government loans to
protect the gold reserve, for the Monroe
doctrine (Which was Icft-handed blow
at the President), and in favor of the broad
est religious tolerance as opposed to the
spirit and teachings of an organization
known as the American Protective Asso-
citation.
These are the most comprehensive prin-
ciples yet adopted by State parties appeal
ing to their electors for support this year,
but added to these exalted declarations,
and as fitting statue for such n pedestal,
cx-Congressman George Frederick Will
Jams was nominated for Governor.
In Congress, youthful and ambitious,
trenching Slightly, perhaps, upon ground
only fit for the feet of angels, Mr.. Williams
attempted to reform pretty nearly every
thing in sight. He assumed an infallibil-
ity that carried ones imagination hack to
palmy Deiphic days, when oracles instead
of boomers were the fad.
One thing Mr.. Williams could never re-
form was the Hon. Joseph Henry Walker,
a citizen of the city where the convention
was held yesterday. The debates between
Williams and Walker in Congress are i'm
mortal. They were the star spectacles
of Williams brief tenure. But Mr.. Walker
obstinately refused to be reconstructed,
and it may be expected that he Will be
heard from in the most conspicuous manner
during the campaign about TO open, and
that he Will exercise his really remarkable
shooting skill upon Mr.. Williams, who
must play the part of bulls-eye to the Demo
cratic target.

THE PASSING OF THE PRIZE RING

One of the most cheering reflections in
connection with the action OF the Texas
legislature is that it furnishes gratifying
proof of the growth of a sentiment hostileto
to such exhibitions of brute strength as
are furnished in the prize ring. The
people OF the United States share with those
of England the unenviable notoriety of still
countenancing such performances. No
other country encourages, if it permits
them. 1t is doubtful il the bull fighting of
Spain. Mexico and some of the South Amer
ican countries is as shockingly brutal as
this batternig of two human beings.
Texas has set all her sister States good
example. Each and every one ought to pass
a law as drastic as the one the Lone Star
State has just enacted. If prize fighting
is everywhere made a felony and the prin-
cipals are punishable by Imprisonment of
from two to five years the sluEger
will probably come to the conclusion that
his occupation is gone and. will turn his
attention to breaking stones, digging
trenches, carrying hods or some such
honorable and useful means of earning his
daily bread.

Slow Bridge Reps,rinu.

Editor Times: The projected repairs on
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge over Rock
Creek are now in progress. That the
repairing had become a necessity the driv-
ing and travelling public will bear evil
dence to. But TO the casual observer
more vigor than il is being done. With
eight men at work, where twenty might
have been employed. a work that the COM
pletion of which would not necessitate
over fifteen or twenty days, will require
forty. or perhaps sixty days. As the
taxpayers will have 10 bear the burden
of repairs. it is only fair and just that
their interests be considered.
If whatever is worth doing is worth doing
well and quickly. then the District authori-
ties may very well and justly push this
work to completion and save the taxpayers
and travelling public the Inconvenience
under which they are liable 10 labor for
months hence. TRAVELLER.

JUDGE BUCK Is WILLING.

When wise people sit in the clouds and
predict that the Corbett-F Fitzsimmons fight
is off so far as a contest in this country
is concerned, their minds are too far sky
ward TO recall that Judge Buck Kilgore is
jn existence. The unlearned Judge who
presidcs over a legal throne and represents
the administration in the Indian Territory
says there is nothing in his bailiwick to
hinder their fighting, and doubtless he would
adjourn court to see which of the "tarnu
cusses was the best feller''
Charges have been placed on file in the
Attorney Generals office that Judge Buck
is hliterate, does not understand the law
and is showing partiality in parceling out
the good things of his court. This unex-
pected proceeding will not disturb the
President. The Congressional Directory
shows that Judge Buck was never nearer
Blackstone than the office of a justice of
the peace, therefore his appointment was
not made igDorantly. 1t was not because
Judge Buck knew the law that he was ap-
pointed, but for the reason that he was
acquainted with those who knew President
Cleveland.
The Indian Territory people might as
wen make up their minds to settle their
disputes in some other than a legal way
H they are not satisfied with Judge Buck,
for he is there to stay. President Cleve-
land never reconsiders an appointment, no
matter low Objectionable, and law or no
law, partiality or no partiality. the pro.
scenium of Judge Bucks trousers are as
firmly fixed TO his judicial bench as if they
weSe fastened with glue.

THE ARMIES couRr-MARr1AL.

The release of Major Armes by habeas
corpus proceedings will amount to nothing
more than an effective way to have him dis
charged from confinement pending trial
by court-martial. Charges have been pre-
ferred against him by order Of the Secretary
OF War, and there is little doubt that he
will be cashiered and dismissed from the
army, perhaps without opportunity to ex-
offending letter was written to Gen. Scho-
field. Major Arnes can only be reinstated
by act of Congress, and as he has already
received similar favors from that body his
