+ His latest acquisitions were now
added to this curious collection. And
each time that he took dose of the med
icine prescribed by DR.. Slick he followed
it up with q spoonful of glycerin. He
began to feel some rather curious eff
fects from this combination treatment
after few days. But, as the sensations
he experienced were rather agreeable
than other wise, he concluded that the
dual system was working well and he
persevered in it. In the course of an
other week he was conscious of a pc
culiar sort of exhilaration, and when he
walked out Of doors he seemed to be
treading on air. This aroused his curl
osity, and he made a second call on DR..
Slick.
II am feeling much better, DOCTOR"
said the patient. do you mind telling
me what was in that prescription you
gave me?"
"That," said the doctor, much pleased
to find his prescription SO efficacious,
Scaled for nothing more than nitric
acid in solution. 1t is very powerful
remedy, and you must be careful not to
exceed the dose prescribed"
II didn't know whether it was your
medicine or the glycerin that was
doing me SO much good" remarked Mr.,
Cutter, ahstractedly, as if speaking to
himself.

THE DUNTONIAN INSTITUTE.
A Manual Technic, Training School

A Manual Technic, Training School.
An institute for the manual training of
young men in the application of electricity
in both science and commercial purposes
is to be opened on Wednesday evening,
October I'd, in the Hutchins Building, cor
ner of Tenth and d streets northwest and
will undoubtedly soon take a leading
place among Washington's prominent in
stitutions of learning.
Mr. Dunton, the promoter and principal
of the school, though young man, is by no
means unknown to the electrical frater-
nifty of America His articles in the "Elec-
trical World for amateurs, have received
much favorable comment, while his lee
lures here have met with the warmest ap-
proval, W whenever he has appeared upon the
platform.
Yesterday afternoon The Times reporter
had the pleasure of seeing some of the cleo
trical apparatus which Mr Dunton has con-
structed and it would certainly do credit to
any large manufacturing concern, engaged
in that business for commercial results.
In regard to his school and methods, Mr.
Dunton frankly states: 1--WE cannot at
the expiration of one term of eight months.
turn out expert electrical engineers, nor
do we claim to do So No institution can
10 this, because the student cannot grasp
the technical science in that time, let alone
the practical application We shallthe first
year put our class through the practical
work necessary to enable them to under
stand construction and installation of
apparatus, and also give them as much
technical theory as possible and not con-
fuse them.
Young men will find in this school an op
portunity to start, while those of more
mature years win have chance to learn
the practical application of electricity
without going so deep into the technical
theory" Mr.. Dunton certainly deserves
much credit for his courage in starting such
school in washington, for 1t is certainly
much needed. From all indications we
predict that he will have a very large
class on the opening night. He has The

ANDY AND BIG FOOT.
Account of a Famous Fight Between
White Man and Indian.

White Man ana lnulan
Dan Beard, the artist, has book Of
frontier tales published in Dayton, Ohio,
in the early days of the settlement, which
contains q thrilling version of that Ohio
Valley classic, Andrew Poe's fight with
"Big Foot" The story was also recently
published in the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
Poe, with eight others, was chasing
band of Wyandottes who had murdered an
sid Sc ttler, and by his tracks knew that
he famous big Foot" was the leader
of the party. "Big Foot was said to be al
most seven feet tall and equally proper
toned.
Almost at the brink of the Ohio, Poe,
separated from the rest, discovered big
Foot" talking with two of his friends, and
drew his bead, but heart-breaking snap
eold him that the gun had missed fire. the
big man started for Poe, who, knowing
that delay was dangerous, jumped at the
Indian and almost succeeded in throwing
him. Just as the other two Indians were
about to rush on the W hite man the friends
Of Poe came up and shot them down. With
muscles strained to the utmost, eyes start
ing out of their heads and lips set in the
agony of desperation, the two men wrestled.
Down they went, and, still clutchinS each
other, rolled down the bank into the river.
In the water they kept up the struggle,
but finally the backwoodsman got hold OF
the Indians scalp lock and held the Indian
under the water until he was motionless.
Thinking the fight over he turned toward
the bank, but the Indian had been play
Ing 'possum," and in an instant was on his
feet again. Their wrestling carried them
out into deep water, and they gradually
worked toward the bank. Each had the
same thought; there were two rifles on the
bank, one loaded and the other not. Who
ever reached the loaded gun first had the
victory.
Andrew soon saw that he was inferior to
the Indian in swimming but his resources
were not at an end. Turning out again
Into the stream, he hoped to dive as his
opponent shot But the Indian had picked
up the wrong gun, and hollow crack was
the only result of bis aim. Turning to get
the other weapon, he found that Adam
Poe, who had come up, had 1t drawn on
him, and In an instant the huge body of the
savage was lying motionless on the sands.

LAWYERS ARE LEARNERS
They Daily Consult the Volumes
in the Law Library.
PREPARING THE ARGUMENTS
Nearly All Reputable Members of the
Fraternity Belong to the Bar Asso-
ciation-Rooms in the City Hall
Where Judge and Counsel Hobnob.
How 1t Was Orgadazed.

The National Capital is productive of more
lawyers than any other city of similar size
in the republic it is said. Surely, in no city
can d more brilliant array of legal talent be
congregated than in Washington. The
high class of this cohort of attorneys is at
tributable largely to the Bar Association
of the District of Columbia.
In reference to the legal fraternity, it is
little short of an anomaly TO say that there
is strength in unity. Indeed, when one sits
before bar of justice and listens to the
bursting of vocabulary bombs of wit and
humor and hears the rattle of verbal ar
tiliery, he little thinks it possible for
reconciliation of the warning elements.
But that is all before the scenes. When
the curtain is dropped at the close of the
legal drama, then the actor-lawyers Join
hands and jolly each other as pleasantly
behind the flies as the affectionate heroine
rests her manufactured face upon the
shoulder of the stage william. 1t is then they
unite again to gain strength for the combat
of tomorrow.
GETTING THEIR POINTS.
The quarters of the Bar Association are
the legal dressing rooms of the District
lawyers. Here the attorney players sit side
by side and learn the roles they will speak
to each other in open court on the following
day.
Here, as soonas one lawyer lays down the
legal report, from which he expects toquote
the clinching point of his case, his friend
and opponent will Immediately take 1t up to
learn the lines that will smash that same
point into fragments and win the applause
of the third-story divinities.
The Bar Association is twenty-one years
Old There was, consequently, a time when
1t was not. The Incorporation took place
under an act of Congress, June o, 1874. Like
many other great institutions, its origin
is traceable to mythical beginning
Oneday prior to the date above mentioned
Nr. Walter D. Davidge, one of the best
known members of the local bar to-day
was arguing case before the general
term. he had occasion to refer to a re
port that was not among the books before
him. Calling Walter Robinson, the trusty
messenger of the court, he directed him to
20 to the court library and bring the vol
ume he wanted.
The court library at that time consisted Of
a single shelf of books that bad been CON
tributed by generous lawyers who had
duplicates of the ones they gave away
Robinson brought a book, but 1t was not
the book wanted. Mr.. Davidge sent II
back.
A minute later he came into the room

igated the Potomac, and with pile OF
books in his arms that lowered above BIZ
head.

Scotch w eddtngs.

A Scotch minister has been telling some
of his experiences in marrying people which
are rather funny. Sometimes, when he
has asked a couple to Join hands, the four
Join hands all round, as If preparing TO
sing "Auld Lang syne." On several oo-
casions, when the question was asked Of
the bridegroom whether he took this wo-
man for his wife, no reply was returned.
He then repeated the question more point
edly, which always brought out the tardy
butcool response. "Oh, ayi"
A common practice after the knot is tied
is for the minister to shake hands with the
young couple andsay"I wish youmucb Joy
A bridegroom once briskly replied, 1.-THE
same to you, SIR" The minister on one
occasion remarked to a middle aged bride
that this was the last time she should sign
her maiden name. She ooolly replied:

Arrow OVER THE LIBERTY BELL
THE PHILADELPHIANs SORE OVER
ATLANTA's METHODS.

Letter written President Collier
Asking Information About the
Relies Return Never Answered.
The Quaker City's Committee De-
eIines to Allow the atlanta Com
mittee to Act as an Escort on the
Return Trip.
Atlanta. Ca, Dec. 30-The liberty bell,
the reception Of which was one Of the
great features of the exposition, is about
10 get Philadelphia and Atlanta into
spat. At the last meeting of council Al
derman HARRISON introduced a resolution
for an escort to be appointed to carry the
hell home, and upon the passage of the
resolution there was much eagerness on
the part of many citizens to get up0p that
committee When the places were filled
there was a great desire in some quar-
ters that the committee be increased to
twenty-five, so that there might be an
other opportunity of being appointed on
il. The committee of citizens and coun-
cilmen met TO formulate plans for the
Journey, but decided to do nothing until
the wishes of the Philadelphia council
could be learned.
There has been a misunderstanding be-
tween the authorities of the two cities.
This morning Mayor King received a let
ter from the Philadelphians. in which it
was stated that a committee of gentle
men from that city would leave there on
Jan IL, would arrive here on the nth,
and would start back to Philadelphia
with the bell on the 18th. 1t was also
stated that if a committee of Auantans
wished to accompany the bell they would
be glad to have their company 1t was
TO be understood, however, that the
Philadelphans would compose the escort
TO the bell and not the Atlanta committee.
The letter contained statements of
sensational character, it is said, but
Mayor King positively refused to give
any information whatever about the con-
tents. 1t is said, however, in the letter
the Philadelphians complained that they
had not been shown proper courtesy by
President Collier of the exposition, they
having written him for information as to
three weeks ago, TO which letter they had
received no reply. The local committee
will meet tomorrow morning, and will
determine whether or not they viii &C
company the bell back to Philadelphia.
Mayor King has arranged for the return
of the bell by the route over which it
came. The Philadelphians write that they
will take it back by another route.
When interviewed Mayor King said that
the liberty bell matter was in decidedly
mixed state, but he hoped 10 arrange mat
ters satisfactorily to avery one con-
cerned.
1t is said that the Philadelphians are
not please with the treatment the bell
has received in Atlanta. When the bell ar
rived, the horses drawing the wagon which
was to haul it to the exposition, were COW
cred with flaming advertisements, and
only when they vigorously made known
their displeasure were the advertisements
removed.
