COFFEE DELIRlUM.
REMARKABLE CASE OF AN IOWA
WOMAN WHO LOVES THE
BEVERAGE.

A remarkable case of dellrium
tremens from the use of strong
coffee is interesting the physi-
clans OF Wayne and vicinity,
says Wayne (Neb.) special in
the Chicago Record. Mrs. H.
NJ. Hanshaw, the patient, is be.
tween As and 50, and is the wife
of farmer living a short dis
tance from town. For many
years she has been addicted to
the use of very strong coffee i'll
excessive quantities, frequently
taking as many as a dozen cups
at meal. Her nervous system
has suffered seriously as result,
and on several occasions she has
attempted to break off the habit,
but without success.
A few days ago she resolved to
make last, desperate effort, and
for time managed to get along
without touching the seductive
beverage. At the end of the
second day, however, her nerves
were IN a state of almost COM
plete collapse, and few hours
later an attack of what closely
resembled delirium tremens set
in. The physician called was at
first deceived by the symptoms,
but when the nature of the case
was explained to him he sad the
disease was undoubtedly caused
by the sudden breaking off of the
habit Mrs. Hanshaw's recovery
is probable, but her physicians
say she could hardly survive ans
other attack. They pronounce
the case one of the most remark
able they have ever seen.

MOVED THE BOUNDARY LINE
SHREWD TRICK OF A SALOON
KEEPER IN NORTHERN
NEW YORK.

An extraordinary case of re-
moving a landmark has been
brought to the attention of At,
torney General Harmon, t
Washington The landmark i'll
question is, in fact, the boundary
line between the United States
and Canada, in Franklin county,
N. Y. The facts, as reported to
the Attorney General by F. c..
Paddock, District Attorney for
Franklin county, N. Y, are
these:
He states that a man owning a
saloon near the boundary line in
Malone has taken up and re
moved ten feet into the United
States an iron post which has
heretofore designated the bound
ary line between Canada and the
United States. T Il e object
sought to be gained by this
move is to bring a building own
ed by the offender partly within
the boundaries Of Canada and
partly in the United States.
The ulterior purpose, Mr.. Pad
dock suggests, was to enable the
trespasser to escape the penalties
of the custom laws and its other
restrictions on the sale of liquors
in his saloon by making il
doubtful whether this offense
was committed within the Uni
ted States or Canada. Attorney
General Harmon has called the
attention of the State Depa1 t1nen
to the matter, and has also di
rected United States District At
torney Poucher for the Northern
District Of New York State t.
investigate the affair.

THE BELL IN ATLANTA
4 LITERAL oUTPoURING OF THE PEOPLE

Tuesday, Atlanta, the Exposi-

the most cordial greeting that
the historic mass of iron has ever
received. 1t was literally an
outpouring OF the people such as
has never been witnessed in At
lanta, and 1t would be impossible
to conceive a more notable exhi>
bition of patriotism. For fully
two miles the bell train passed
through solid walls of cheering
people. They stood massed on
tops of freight cars, on the
bridges that span the railroad, on
roofs, and, in fact, OH every place
that afforded a foothold The
Atlanta Light Artillery fired the
presidential salute, and the first
shot was the signal for every
steam whistle in the city to
shrek out its discordant welcome
The scene in and around the
station beggars description. The
crowd seemed wild with enthu-
siasm, and from every window of
every factory, store, and dwell
ing there were waving flags and
handkerchiefs. At the CITY linn
its Mayor Porter King, with a
big committee, met the party,
but there was no formal recep-
ton until the visitors reached
the Kimball House. There May
or King said a few words OF
welcome, which were supple,
mented by ex-Mayor Hemphill
and briefly responded to by May
