THIS IS FOR DRINKING MEN.

A man prominent in the affairs of
Drnlzirk, says the BUFFALO Courier
yesterday. relates the following Incl
dent
"One day, two months after I had
signed the pledge, I had a craving for
drink of whiskey SO strong that 1 could
see nothing else but drinks about me,
and felt as if I must have at least one
drink. / told friend of my state of
mind. He said, You need not drink. I
stop your discomfort. Get a bowl of ice
water and raw potato, peel it and cut
down one end of it to a size convenient
to take in the mouth Dip the potato
in the ice water and suck It every time
you think you must have the whiskey.'
1 did as he advised. 1 took the bowl of
ice water and the potato and placed
them on table at the head of my bed,
and would dip the potato in the water
and place it between my lips every few
minutes, till l went to sleep. I awoke
free from any desire to drink whiskey,
and have been free from it ever since.
That one treatment eradicared my crav-
ing for whiskey for all the time that has
since elapsed"

CrIt Off

CHICAGO, June II, 1S95.-Fire N South

of 100000 and endangered many lives.
The flames were discovered in the rear
of Peter Young's furniture store, No
2H N.nety-second street, by Patrolman
Kohl. At the time they were under a.
good headway. Mrs. Young was par
tally overcome by the heat. Patrolman
McCauley and Linman brought her
down the front stairs and assisted Mr.
Young down. Lizzie, Rose, Walter and
George, the children. were also brought
down. Over Charles Bergners paint
store lived Mrs. Bergner and the third
floor was occupied by roomers. There
was a stampede down the stairs, and all
got out safely, though little of their
valuaIbles were saved.

ture was moved to the ek yards and
alleys, and in some cases loaded on ex-
press wagons ready to get out of the
neighborhood If necessary.

FORGOT HIS MURDER FAKE

SENECA FALLS, N. Y, June II, 1895.
John Burke, hailing from Philadelphia
and possessing all the appearances of a
tramp, came to this village Friday night.
He told Justice Simpson that his con-
science troubled him and his soul was
weighed down with the crime of murder,
and he had become weary of carrying it.
He stated that in the year 1851 he had
snot and killed his cousin, Patrick Shea,
in county Mayo, Ireland: that both re-
sided there and were members of the
same secret society, and that Shea had
revealed the secrets of the Order, and
as punishment Burke said he murdered
him. His story had the color of truth,
but as Burke was somewhat intoxicated
the officers thought it might be a canard;
to remember the story told. He was
arraigned and charged with vagrancy
and sentenced to four months in the
Monroe County Penitentiary, during
which time the story will be investigated.

PRINCETON, June II. 1S95.-There is
still an anxious feeling among the Prince
ton students regarding the condition OF
Fred Oil and Garret Cochran, who were
shot Saturday night by the negro Collins.
Many of the students who usually start

The following is DR.. Denton's statement
as to the condition of the men this morn

'I can make no definite report as to
the condition of the men except that
both are resting easily. There is no

THURSTON'S SUCCESSOR.

WASHINGTON, June IL, 1S95.-The
State Department received a telegram
this morning from Minister Willis. dated
at Honolulu, June 8, announcing the ap-
pontment and commissioning of Will
lam R. Castle. as Mr.. Thurston's sue
cessor This is the first intimation the
Department has had of Mr.. Castles Sc
lection to represent Hawaii in the Unit
ed States. The question as to whether
Mr.. Castle will prove persona grata to
the Administration any more than Mr..
Thurston was has not yet been passed
upon.
1t will be remembered that Senator
Kyle, of South Dakota, received a letter
from Mr.. Castle on February y, this
year, which caused considerable comment
at the time, particularly sentence ex-
pressing the opinion that the cause of
the last rebellion was the desire of the
Royalists to reinstate the ex-Queen.
which he believed would not have been
attempted "had it not been for the con-
viction of the Queens adherents that
they would have the moral support-pos-
sibly the actual assistance-of the Gov
ernment at Washington"
Secretary Gresham's commentary on
this letter when it was brought to his
attention during the Thurston contro-
versy was that Mr.. Castle was not a
Minister and that Senator Kyle was a
private citizen of the United States.

BRUTAL MURDERER AT POUR.

LAPORTE, Ind, June II, 1S95.-Indiana
has a youthful murderer IN Gilbert
Bowsher, four years old, who killed Ber-
nice Collins at Monticello, his victim
being a toddling infant of two years.
Bowsher, who was in company with two
other boys, passed Bernice Collins on the
street. The latter spoke. to Bowsher's
companions, but refused to notice him.
This angered young Bowsher and, lying
in wait for the Collins child, he attacked
her with stones, and before her piteous
cries for help brought relief she was
dead. The authorities are puzzled as to
what steps are to be taken IN dealing
with the boy, the annals of the State
failing to record a parallel case. Both
families are prominent.
