JUSTICE FIELDS LAMENEss.
Ray Photograph Taken of His Knee to
Ascertain tho DiffcultY.

Ascertain the Difficulty.
Stephen j. Field, justice of the SUI
preme court of the United States, has
had I'm experience of three-quarters of
an hour under the Roentgen ray. JUS
tice Field is troubled with an affection
OF the knee joint which the doctors
cannot exactly define.
That was one reason why the help Of
the mysterious X ray was invoked. 1t
was thought perhaps that some hidden
lesion or cause of irritation might be-
disclosed which, being known and To-
Gated, would become amenable to treat
1nent.
An inspection of the negative of the
cathodograph after developmentshowed
that the experiment had been success
tul in getting good picture of the
bones Of the joint. Further, a COMPARE
son of the negative with one taken some
time ago of u normal knee joint showed
in q great measure the nature of tho
affection which has caused the long
standing lameness. Whether the demon
stration will be of use in effecting
cure is q matter as to which only pro-
fessional opinion would be of value.
The negative showed that the tibia
and the femur have almost grown to-
gether. The hinge, SO to speak, is par
TALLY solidified. The bones have not
that clearness Of outline shown in the
normal knee. The result is very graf
flying demonstration of the value of the
\ ray as q means of disclosing the ma
ture, location and extent of an interior
lesion. 4

THE SILVER EApeE.
Design of Sixteen to Ono Daisy II,
Been patcnted.

Design of Sixteen to Ono Daisy Has
Been Patented.
A design has been submitted to the
patent office and a copyright asked
thereon for a floral emblem to be worn
by the adherents of the free silver plan.
The final issue of the papers has not
been made, but under the rules of the
patent Office, the design is sufficiently
protected to prevent misuse.
Tie emblem is in the form Of the
common field daisy, with 16 petals, each
numbered on the tip, from one to six
teen, and the yellow center marked with
n figure one.
The adoption of the scheme is under
consideration by the leading silver men
now in Washington, and n determined
effort will be made to get a resolution
through the Chicago convention for the
adoption of the button by tlle adherents
of the party and to make it as official in
its character as the pampas grass en-
blem, which Mr.. Hanna suggests be
adopted as the official floral emblem
of the republican party, and which the
silver men claim, does not convey any
idea but that Of the national colors-
red, white and blue-aud grows in but
one section of the country, while the
flower that is their emblem grows from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.

After Fourteen Years in the Army He
Falls Heir to n Fortune.
After IA years of faithful work as an
enlisted man in the United States army,
Sergt. John E. Hogan, Of Battery G.,
First artillery, has come into fortune
Of 100000, and now thinks of leaving
the service. Sergt. Hogan is stationed
at Fort Wadsworth. A personal in q
paper here asked for information as
to the whereabouts Of John L. Hogan,
formerly of Dallas, Tex" He responded
in person and at a hotel found lawyer
from the west who informed him that
land in Texas to the value of about
100000 was waiting to be divided be-
tween him and a sister. Hogan remem-
bcred that years ago his father had
some land near Dallas, which had been
s4uatted upon and the title to which
was in litigation. His father died and
he had not heard from his family in
years. 1t seems that the title to the
land, after suits leading up to the SUI
prcme court, had been decided in favor
of the Hogans. Capt. Hubble, who COM
nands the battery, said: "Well, it is
good luck for Hogan, but bad luck
for me. He gets 100000, but I lose a
splendid first sergeant"

TRICKY CHINESE.
Plot Against the Lives Of Mission
aries Laid Eare.
Quack Doctors Arouse the People Against
the Foreign Teachers Chinese
Family Suffers for Exposing
the DiaboIIcal Plans.

From oriental advices just received
it is learned that the Kianyin (China)
anti-missionary outrage has evoked
vigorous official action, but, although
the plot has been unraveled and the
guilty persons arrested, another cruel
feature has been added to the affair.
1t will be remembered that an accusa-
ton of numbering children having been
preferred against the missionaries by
a quacll doctor who entertained
grudge against them in connection with
lease for their premises, search of
them in the presence of the mob re-
vealed the body of 13-months-old
.ehild. The missionaries barely escaped
with their lives. Reaching Cbinkiang,
they laid their case before the United
States consul-general, who Immediate
ly communicated with Shanghai, and
also with Picking, the result being that
Lieut.. Mclean, of the United States
ship Boston, was ordered to proceed to
Chinkiang to compile report and the
Boston was got ready to proceed up the
river. Meanwhile Chinese family who
were friendly to the missionaries had
applied themselves to discover the
truth They succeeded in obtaining
a confession from the quacll doctors
chief accomplice while the latter was
under the influence of opium. 1t ap-
pears that the accomplice had been in
formed by the doctor that the mis-
sionaries would give $40 for the body
of child, and the two, proceeding at
midnight to grave, carried off corpse
and hid it under some rubbish in the
missionaries compound, whence the
doctor unearthed it subsequently in
the way of the Infatuated mob.
The night of the riot the mother Of
the child, going to burn incense at the
grave, saw that the body had been re-
moved. The friends Of the mission
aries induced her to prefer complaint
and thus the whole plot was divulged.
But unfortunately the quacls doctor
knew the family that had been instru-
mental in exposing the truth. To be
avenged on them the doctor declared
when making his confession that the
eldest son had been an accomplice. The
man was arrested. At first he main
taincd his innocence, but, being sub
jected to torture, his fortitude gave
way and he falsely implicated himself.
Whatever redress may he ultimately
obtained, the cost of befriending the
missionaries will thus seem very high
to the people of Kianyin.

WARNING TO LOVERS.
Young Man Struck Dead After q Conc
lnf<

iatory Kiss.
With the Imprint of his sweetheart's
kiss warm upon his forehead Charles
Nulente, of New York, was sent swiftly
to eternity the other day. The girl had
scarcely given him the caress when q
bolt Of lightning robbed her of her be-
trotted and threw her headlong across
his lifeless body.
A few minutes before the two had be-
come reconciled after months of sep
nration, and they had gone out on q
country road to celebrate their reunion.
The lover lay dead in the basement
of the Kings bridge police station. The
young woman was in Fordham hospital
raralyzed and suffering from the great
est mental anguish. The girl who was
with him ut his death was Louise Co.'S
tclla, also of New York.
Valente and Miss Costello became
engaged about year ago. They quar-
lcled four months ago, and SO serious
appeared the difference that they did
not speak. After church the other Sun
day the couple spoke and became recon-
ciled. In spite of the storm which was
rapidly coming up they determined to
take a short walk and talk over their
reunion.
On the Fordham road they came to
fence which the young man quickly
vaulted. He reached back to help this
young woman over and, impelled by an
impulse of affection, stopped and kissed
her. She kissed him in return and at
that instant came a. binding flash and
the young man was dead. A policeman
who was near at hand was witness Of
the tragic episode.

saw her once or twice and asked how
she was getting along. Pretty WE'LL
she answered, with her brave little
smile; AT least, hope some of my
stories will be accepted this time.'
II was sent to the strikes in Chicago
then, and didn't see her again until to-
day. The address Dr. Burnside gave
was lodging-house on the east side
decent enough. The woman who ran it
said that Kate had come to her three
days before. She brought Gladstone
bag, and said that if the place suited
her she would send for her trunk. Kate
had known the woman who ran the
house, Mrs. Thompson-had given her
write-up of some kind So she was
glad to take the girl in. Kate told her
she had q big story on hand for one Of
the magazines, and did not want to be
disturbed. She'd take care of her own
room.
Mrs. Thompson, however, was in the
habit of gossiping with her dodgers,
and somewhat resented being shut out
in this unceremonius fashion. She
kept sort of surveillance over Miss
Taylor through the leyhole; and there
she was, sure enough, seated at the
table, engaged apparently in writing.
For two whole days this kept up. There
was no sound or almost none from the
occupied room, nor did it's occupant
leave it. AT last Mrs. Thompson could
stand it no longer. Even her friendli-
ness for the girl could not keep her
from trying to have talk with her.
"She went to the door and knocked
again and again without getting an

10 PRESERVE MEMORIAL DAY.
Old Soldiers Favor a Radical Change In
It's Observance.

Old Soldiers Favor Radical Change In
It's Observance.
The question of celebrating Mem
orial day was discussed at the meeting
of the Cook County Memorial associa-
ton at the Sherman house the other
evening.
Most of the members favor radical
change in the manner of carrying on
the celebration and protest strongly
against what they term n Dissertation
of what should be n day set aside for
the memory of the old soldier.
Yet some of them feel that while they
themselves make too much demonstra-
ton and show in the way of parades and
the like, they cannot consistently call
upon the public to observe the day in
more suitable manner.
For this reason action will be taken.
it is said, to simplify the observance Of
the day as much as possible, first by the
G. A. Il. members themselves, after
which they will call upon the public to
do likewise. To this end Comrade II.
Z. Gerry introduced an amendment to
the constitution which will be acted
upon next year. The amendment linn
its the participants in the Decoration
day parade to the regular army, nation
al guard, and the Sons of Veterans and
G. A. r.. thereby shutting out all civic
organizations. A. ]. burbank intro
duced resolution, which was passed,
calling attention to the origin Of Memo
rial day as day for cherishing the
memory of the honored dead and pro-
testing against the thoughtiessness
with which the day is characterized by
so many of the people and turned into
day of pleasure-seeking, perversion
not intended by those who framed the
law. The resolutions further asked of
the public thoughtful consideration
of the question of the observance of
Memorial day. Besides the passing of
these resolutions the reports of officers
were read for the past year. c. E. Sin
clair was elected trustee for five years,
and the meeting adjourned sine die.
