TOOK THE KNEIPP CURE.
Cardinal Gibbons Claims to Have
Been Greatly Benefited.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 12.-Car,iinai Glib
bons is taking the Kneipp cure. \ fes1df
of the treatment is walking in the dew
when it is thick upon the grass n the early
morning hours. Al various times during
tile past summer the cardinal took early
morning walks in the grass at the Country
residence in Howard county OF a we'll
known Raltimorean.
1t is also said that the cardinal has tried
the treatment by walking on the green
sward in the yard of the archiepisCap
residence, on North Charles street. The
cardinal spent some time last August at
st. Francis Sanitariunl, near Danvilie n.
J.. where many patients were taking the
treatment.
At the sanitarium the treatment has been
reduced to a science. After the patient
has been as thoroughly warmed by exercise
as his condition warrants a stream Of
water artificially cooled TO a temperature
OF 80 degrees is turned on him from a
hose. The applications are made from the
feet upward and consist OF many forms Of
douches
After the application the patient is in
pleasant glow. andis expected to dress with
out drying, and to exercise gently for fif-
teen minutes. The moisture on the skin
forms a sort OF steam bath, and is gradually
dissipated by the heat of the body.
In addition there are the Sitz bath, the wet
packings, steam baths and the like, which
the patient can take, but in general Father
Kneipp thinks that a better rcactionis caused
by cold than by hot water tits said that
the cardinals general health has been tcn-
Gifted by the treatment.
The cardinal was treated by Father
Kneipp at Woerishofen during his last Eu-
ropean trip. Writing to a relative in New
Orleans, under date of July z, 1896, lie
said:
Il am writing to you from a village a few
miles from Munich, in Bavaria, where am
consulting Father Kneipp, the famous Ger
man doctor. who uses the water cure. He is
resorted to from various parts of Europe,
and even from America, and he has per-
formed wonderful cures, especially in per-
sons afflicted with rheumatism l am
going to spend several days here"

Got Another Mans Check.

A rather unfortunate matter con-
cerning the delivery of mail, happened
to Geo. w. Taylor last week. Rev J.
L. Umstead, of Coatsville, Pa. sent
through the mail a check for $35 to
Mr.. Taylor for plumbing services rem
dered at his house on Mt Vernon
street, now in tenure of J. r. FARRELL.
Not hearing from Mr.. Taylor, he wrote
inquiring why he had not acknowl-
edged the receipt Mr.. Taylor an
swered that no check had reached him.
so an investigation was made. It was
found that the post Office authorities of
this town, not of course knowing anv
difference, put the letter in the lock-
box of cOlored man of the same name
George w. Taylor-and thought
nothing more about it. Taylor, the
eolored man, not being man of honor,
took the check and had it eashed at
George w. Turner's meat shambles. as
had been done with railroad checks.
&c, and then skipped.
Being an offense against the United
States Government, the case will be
investigated and search warrant is
sued for the cOlored man, The reason
why the thief had a lock-box, is said
to be because though married man,
he was in correspondence with another
woman and did this to keep his wife
from reading her letters.

Assaulted for Inquiring After His
Property.

Men of the best intentions sometimes
get into positions out of all harmony
with their makeup, and such was the
case with Isaac Senix, residing near
Blackiston's Cross Roads, on Thurs
day evening last. Isaac Berry was
tenant on one of his farms. In saving
the hay in the summer it was divided,
the tenant putting his hay in one part
OF the building and the landlords in
another. Berry was leaving the farm
to move to near Summit Bridge and
Mr.. Senix was informed that a large
part of his hay was gone, so he went
over to the place and told Berry of the
fact. The latter denied it, saying the
hay had not been disturbed. Mr..
Senix said ''let's go see for ourselves,
and on reaching the place the condition
was as Mr.. Senix had been told-the
hay was largely gOne-and he said to
Berry "nOw you see how it is
Berry flew into a fit of anger, charg-
ing Mr.. Senix with accusing him of
stealing the hay, and struck and
knocked him down on the hay, the
latter being bundled up in his Overcoat.
A son of Mr.. Senix plead with him not
to hurt his father, but he threw the
boy aside and proceeded to beat the
PROSTATE man; but did not, to his
credit, strike him in the face while he
was down, though threatening to kill
him. Through an appeal, Mr.. Senix.
who had done none of the fighting,
was let up, and while his son came to
Esquire Cooper to place the matter in
his hands for violating the laws of the
State. Berry, who had intended to re-
main over night, put off up the country
with his load, and was considerably ON
the way when apprehended bv Con
stable GOldsborough Berry stated
the case so pathetically as to make it
appear as though the other man had
done all the wrong and he was only
taking care of himself, and cried so
tenderly as to almost make the con
stable weep, and thus he was let off
with the promise that he would appear
before Esquire Cooper the next after
noon i'll response to the State writ.
Berry appeared at the appointed time
bringing some friends along, who
thought with him that the law under
his construction of it Though Mr..
Senix had made no direct charge)
granted him the right to take the law in
his own hands in such cases. Mr..
Senix appeared with his son only. The
testimony was heard and the facts as
above stated were acknowledged bv
Berry, who thought, however, that the
law allowed a man the right to punish
another for an implied or direct accusa-
ton, and was surprised, as were his
friends that the law granted no privi-
lege except for one to defend his life
when severely attacked
As it was to be settled by the Justice
he put on the full extent of the law.
$40 and costs, $14.81, the men who
came with him thinking it worth that
to punish a landlord who had the tenn
Gritty to inquire into the Whereabouts
of his own property.

The New York Chamber of Com
merce as a result of a conference with
Secretary Carlisle will inaugurate a
campaign of sound money education
all over the United States. 1t was
time long ago that such a campaign
was undertaken. The advocates of
unsOund money have been conducting
one in support of their free silver, cur
rency debasement policy with extraor-
dinary vigor, especially during the
last year or two. They have gone into
the field at all points contending for
the supremacy of the silver standard
and the abolition of the standard of
gold, the displacement of the honest
dollar of the unchanging value of 100
cents by a dishonest one of daily
changing value, now intrinsically
worth about 80 cents, and certain to be
worth even less if the plans of its sup
porters should prove successful.

THE Milford Herald has taken a
stand against an equal number of dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention
from each party because they would be
governed on political issues by parti-
zan feeling, viz: IS Is, producing a
deadlock.
''The Milford Nc,cs likewise opposes
a non-partizan convention for the fol
towing reasons:
The Republicans of Delaware have
for many years sought to effect q
change in the fundamental laws of the
State. and the contest for a convention
has been a long, and at times, an al
most hopeless one. At first the Demo
cratic party almost to a man contested
the effort for a convention, but the
number of that party favorable steadily
increased until the thing was possible.
As the case now stands there is not a
Republican opposed to a Constitutional
Convention, while many Democrats,
and especially the leaders of that party
(such as are most likely to be nOmi-
mated for delegates to the cOnventiOn)
are opposed to changes in the COnsti-
tuition.
I'm view Of these facts it is not at all
likely that the friends of a change in
the Constitution will, in an effort TO
make the convention nOn-partisan, put
power in the hands of those who are
unfriendly to a change in the funda-
mental law of the present. Those who
have iabOred long for reform will not
be so foolish as to throw away what
they have SO hardly earned.
The EUery EBening, while virtually
admitting what the NelCs says about
the determined effort of a large class of
politicians and Office holders to pre-
vent a Convention says no matter
what may have happened in the past,
the people of Delaware ordered new
constitution at the last election, and
states the non partizan position thus:
The making of the new Constitution
Is not the concern of one party anv
more than the other. 1t is a matter of
serious business, and not of partisan
consideration. We do not believe that
the Democratic party should have a
majority In the convention, nor the
Republican party either. A convention
that will impart no partisan advantage
IS what will best serve the interests of
the people, and the way to secure such
convention is to divide its member
ship equally between the two chief
political parties. -

the silver Senators were mostly ad-
mitted for party benefit during the
Administration of President Harrison.
Utah, for the same reason, was urged
for admission by the Democrats, but
to the astonishment of every one, it
was lost to the party in the general
slump of 1898, and elected Republican
Senators.
The defeated revenue bill was to aid
Secretary Carlisle and the Administra-
ton in meeting the expenses of the
Government, which are showing a de-
ficiency of $50, 900, 900 year under the
Wilson tariff bill, and it was surprise
that the Democratic Senators should
unite with the silver Republicans to
defeat it when the great demand of the
Government is for more revenue.

Death Of John c. Raymond.

John O. Raymond, the last represen-

on Friday, Of paralysis, aged 81 years
and months. His death leaves Mrs.

Mr.. Raymond retained his resiaenee
IN Reymoad's Neck until some fifteen
years ago, when feeling the effects Of
advancing years. he guit farming and
moved to Leipsic. He maintained
throughout his life an honorable posi-
ton for integrity of character that
commanded the respect of his fellow
men, and it was not surprising that
his funeral Sunday was attended by a
large concourse of his fellow citizens.
The services were held in the Metho-
dist Church and the remains inferred
ip the cemetery adjoining.
