WHEN Is DEATH REAL.

Except where II sslxical
operation is- perforfnBas the
only absolute sign OF death
is the decomposition of the
body" said a physician to q
New York Sun reporter. IL
have had cases of apparent
death in ny own practice.
An urgent message from the
physician in charge called me
one night to IA young ladies'
seminary in this city. As |
ascended the stairs to the pa
TENTS room | was met by
the housekeeper, who, be-
tween her sobs, could only
say: 1T is too late, doctor;
she is dead [ went up to
the room, nevertheless. There
upon the bed lay a young
girl OF about eighteen. Her
face bore the mask of death.
81 am sorry to have dis
turbed you at this hour the
doctor said; the heart stop
pei beating about five minu-
tes ago.
81 bent over and listened
at the chest; no respiration,
no beating Of the heart was
to be hearu. While 1 listen
ed some one said:
II always thought she
would go off in one of those
attacks
"These words were a revel-
alton to me and | hastily
threw off my coat and began
artificial respiration. Little
by little there Was a change
of ex Expression in the face: the
features relaxed, the eyes ap-
peared less sunken, the face
became flushed; the eyelids
moved, and after a full hour
of constant work the life of
youth returned. Tue girl
had an attack of grave hys-
terra. She is now married
and is the mother Of three
handsome children.
"In another case | had
seen my patient at II p. m.
and after giving my instruc-
tions to the nurse in charge
| had gone away. At seven
O'Clock the next morning |
received the message, 'Fa-
ther passed away quietly this
morning at 1:30.' This was
rather unexpected. | knew
that ] had left the patient in
danger, but did not imagine
that | was seeing him for the
last time. However, after a
hurried breakfast | went to
the house andfound that the
night nurse had spread n
sheet over the body. In re-
moving it it'sImething-caIl it
intuition ifyou will-made
me think that the man was
not dead. Nor was he; and
it was not until five days H.
ter that he really died.
"Who knows how many
times II physician who has
attended a patient, and to
whom word is brought that
the sick one is dead, fills out
the blank which the under
taker presents him without
taking the trouble to see for
himself that the death j g
real? That probably hap
pens every day in this city;
and what of the country,
where the doctor often lives
miles away from his patient?

The Blessings Of the Rabbit.

A French chemist of great
eminence has prophesied that
in the future the bread food
OF the race everywhere will
not be grown but chemically
produced. Now a Norwegian
prOphesies that tue rabbit
will be the real source of meat
supply for the race when the
Mailhusian prophesy is ful-
filed when the cattle fail to
supply the food for the count
less millions yet to, fill t he
earth. We get some figures
from an editorial in the Phil
adelpnla Record. Some one
has calculated that a pair of
rabbits in four years have
multiplied to I 1,274 $40 if all
the young ones are kept alive.
The Record says that a fe.
male rabbit casts young ones
eight times a year; if & he
cast seven at the a average she
bears fifty-six all told in q
year. Let US say that s h e
bears fifty per year, and esti-
mate each at ten pounds; she
produces 500 pounds of meat
in a year. Az many poor peo
pie cOuId get the rabbits
food free OF cost, they could
practically get a few hundred
pounds of meat for nothing.
Then, too, the rabbit skins
are worth ouething, when
prepared. Under various
names twenty million rabbit
skins are exported yearly
from -Au stria to London. Lon
don alone uses every week
half Il million ofrab5its most
of which come from Belgium.
Belgium earns yearly ten mill
ION to twelve million dollars
on rabbits, and France eigh-
ty million dollars.
The Norman rabbit is pro-
nounced the best. As to the
question of meat future gen.
eratiOns are safe. How very
chea o it is, too. and how good
is the rabbit to ca t when prop
erIy prepared .-.Hpssen n ,er.

Cleveland's slur will not hurt Admiral
Meade, for the people will consider the
source.
At twenty when man is young he thinks
he knows it all; he likes to wag his active
tongue and exercise his gall; he struts
around in noble rage, the world is all his
own, he laughs to scorn the world of age,
and lists to self alone. He wears window
in his eye to see his whiskers grow; he
thinks the ladies pine and die because they
love him so. At forty you may suppose,
he's got down to the biz; tbs not TIL sixty
that he knows how big chump he is
Can the West and the South be brought
together to oppose the east on the money
issue? The South hesitates. She is in
favor of free silver, but is afraid to take the
lead in a movement for the throwing off of
old and very strong political affiliations. If
the west takes the lead and clears herself of
old party trammels for silver's sake, will the
south follow? There seems to be nc doubt
about the admiration for Mr.. Teller. He
presents in her eyes a very high quality of
public and private worth. She remembers
with special gratitude his opposition to the
Force bill in her interests But Mr.. Teller
is not talking of boiling his party's action
next year. On the contrary he has said that
he expects concessions to silver, sufficient to
enable him to take an active part in his
party's campaign. Would any bolt from the
Republican coa vention without Mr.. Teller
amount to anything either in the South or
West.-Virginia Chronicle

Germany on Bimetallism.

The German Reichstag, recently, in oppo-
stion to the advice of Chancellor Hohenlohe
adopted Count Won Mirsbach's resolution in
favor of steps being taken for the prompt
settlement of the currency question by an
agreement as to international bimetallism
by the decisive vote of 72 to 3s. During
the debate the Governor OF the Reichstag
warmly opposed the motion, and informed
the Federal Government that they would
thereby create disaster and disturbances.
Prince Hohenlohe adhered to his statement
in the Rechstag that the Government
would submit the silver question to further
examination in consonance with the Federal
Government, and was also willing, ultimate
ly, to meet the other Powers and discuss
commercial measures to be taken. But,
first of all the basis of the discussion, he in
sisted, must be definitely settled upon. So
soon as the answers to the Government were
received, renewed attempts would be made
to continue an international exchange of
views upon the subject. Therefore he ad'
vised the House, if it did not wish to sup.
port the affair, to adopt Herr Becker's
amendment, which struck out that part oi
Count Mirsbach's motion which demanded
that Germany take the initiative. This
motion was defeated and Mirsbach's motion
as above stated, was carried by the sgnif
cant vote of 10 ia rs
This opens the idea to Americans that
Germany has been consulting with other
powers, and, of course, the United States il
particular. But no encouragement could bt
entertained of the Cleveland Administration
to such proposition as that. But the
people will settle the matter, so far as th
United States is concerned, at the mex
election

NORTHERN PACIFIC RUNS BEHIND
Enormous Interest Charges Eating Up
All the prOffrs

Enormous Interest Charges Eating Up
All the Profits.
Chicago, Aug. 19.-The Tribune will
say tomorrow:
During the past few weeks there
has been a great deal said in the news
papers in regard to the Northern Pa
cifc railroad and the rival plans for
it's reorganization. While it is an OBJ
ject of public interest that such an inn
mense property should be lifted from
bankruptcy and placed on a solvent
basis, it is very evident that any re-
organization, to be successful, must be
made on a plan of fixing the charges of
annual interest within the limit The
company can earn, over and above OPP
Grating expenses, taxes, etc.
THE Northern Pacific system con-
sists of about 1900 miles of road, of
which about $500 miles are owned by
the company and covered by it's mort
cages, and about HOO miles are leased
The leased lines are covered by mort
cages, the bonds of which have been
guaranteed by the Northern Pacific
company. The year ending June 80,
1894, was a bad one for the railroad,
but the condition of business is i'm
proving. The business of the Northern
Pacific for the year ending June 30,
| 1895, should show a large increase over
| the previous year. The statements of
the term during which the receivers
have operated the railway, from Au-
gust 16, 1893 to May 81 1895 Q2k
months), show that after paying inter-
est on receivers certificates, first
bonds, collateral trust notes and GER
tain other bonds, there was a surplus
of 1927, S46.

first crash. Soon after the little ones
cries became weaker. and later, when
the flames shot up into the skeleton OF
the building, became entirely silenced.
The firemen made a brave effort TO
save a woman caught in the debris at
the north corner of the hotel, but were
forced to abandon the attempt.
The spot where she lay is now the
hottest part of the fire. None Of the
six people thus far taken out are con-
scious, and identification is impossi-
BILE.
OTHER BUILDINGS CRUSHED.
The force OF the explosion carried
away large portion of the rear of the
building next adjoining the Gumry, to-
ward Seventeenth street, and occupied
by A. Lillyblade, wholesale and retail
furniture.
The wall of the Gumry on the side
toward Eighteenth street crushed
stable and a small frame house, but no
one was injured.
The Gumry hotel was a five story
brick structure with stone front. and
was erected about six years ago. 1t
was of the better kind of second-class
hotels. catering largely to transient
family patronage. Thus many ladies
and children were among the guests.
The building was erected as the Eden
Musee by the widow of General Tom
Thumb, and was so occupied for year,
but later remodeled for use as a hotel.
Gumry and Greiner have owned it for
several years. Mr.. Gumry was prom
inent contractor, and had much of the
work during the erection of the state
capitol Mr. Greiner acted in the capa-
city of manager. Both are among the
dead.

Chandler Calls Attention to the
New Railroad Association.
THEY WILL BEAR WATCHING
The Interstate Commerce Commission Is
Asked to see That the peo-
pie Are Not Losers.

Concord, N. H.. Aug. 1s.-The follow
ing is copy of a letter addressed by
Hon. w. F. Chandler to the interstate
commerce commission:
Concord, N. H., Aug. ITO the In
terstate Commerce Commission-Gen-
tlemen: The New York Tribune of yes
terday announces the meeting in that
city Of the "16 presidents appointed by
the Trunk line association to formulate
a means for maintaining east-bound
and west-bound rates." and says that
an agreement has been reached to be
finally considered in September, it be-
ing in the meantime an evident impro-
priety to make known the details of the
arrangements, to prevent low and to
secure high rates of railroad transpor-
tation. The rates have been under con-
sideration for several months. The
combination will be the greatest asso-
citation of capital which America, per-
haps the world, has ever known. 1t
embraces all the American lines be-
tween Chicago and the west and New
York and the east, and also the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada, doubtless
covering three thousand millions Of
organized money.
The Canadian Pacific railroad is not
included, fortunately for New England.
The object is to abolish competition on
freight and passenger rates. to guard
against any possible lowering of prices
and to accomplish as soon as the traf-
fic will bear it, a raising of the present
charges. In view of the immense in
terests involved affecting the public
who are to pay, as well as the railroads
which are to receive, the sums charged
| for transportation by the different
companies constituting this great COM
bination, desire to ask whether the
! interstate commerce commission, as
| the appropriate and faithful guardian
/ of the rights of the people as against
railroad exactions, is watching and in
vestigating the steps taken by the
present combination for the purpose
of discovering whether it's proposed
agreements would be in accordance
with the common law and with the
statutes of the United States agains
pooling and trusts, and with the view
if they are illegal to preventing If pos
sible their contamination. instead of al
lowing them to enter unresisted, il
full operation.
The Tribune says the counsel for tn
companies will see that the agreemen
complies with the laws of all tn
states, as well as those of the United
States"
While the attorneys for the railroad
are working to this end it seems i'm
perative that the officers of the Unite,
States should also labor to see that i
the agreement is unlawful it shall b
kept from going into effect. It seem
to me that all the laws against an
kind Of mOnOpOlies and trusts, wheth
er enacted by state or nation, will b
insignificant and worthless if this 81
gantic railroad trust can not be de
feated. Very respectfully,
WILLIAM E. CHANDLER.

PROPOSITIONS FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Ex-senator Butler Outlines the Plans lie
Has for Silver


Washington, Aug. 19.-Ex-Senator
Butler Of South Carolina, called today
on Senators Jones and Harris. men,
bers of the executive committee APP
pointed by the recent democratic silver
conference and suggested the follow
ing propositions to be advocated by the
silver democrats
First-Repeal the tax on state bank
circulation.
Second-Admit silver to coinage at
an equality with gold at the ratio Of
16 to l.
Third-Retire all greenbacks and
coin certificates.
Fourth-Require national banks to
surrender their charters and permit
them to take out state charters, under
national supervision.
Fifth-Take the government entirely
out Of the banking business.
SiXth-Stop the issuance of long
time bonds by the government. The
revenues should be enough to support
the government. But If it is necessary
to issue bonds they should be of small
denomination in order that our peo-
pie can invest their savings in them.
