sATURDA US NEUROLOGY.

On Washington's birthday three
public men passed away, each proml-
nent in a different sphere Of life, ex-
Gov. Robinson, the statesman; Bill
Nve, the humorist, and ex-Congress-
nan Harter, the politician.
Gov. Robinson vas the nobIest
Roman of them all and ont of the
ablest governors that Massachu-
sets ever had. He resigned his seat
in congress in 1888 to accept the
nomination for governor. Gen. Ben
iamin F. Butler was the democratic
nominee, but he found his match in
debate in Gov. Robinson, who can
yassed the whole state and won a
deserved and glorious victory. This
was the most memorable contest for
governor Massachusetts has ever
seen, more votes being cast at the
polls than in any preceding election.
After being twice reelected governor
he declined another nomination and
retired to private life to resume his
law practice. At the time OF his
death he was one of the ablest law
vers in the state. He was, besides, a
Christian statesman who was not a
self seeker but a thoroughly honest
and conscientious man. He died at
his home in Chicopee Saturday, after
a brief illness from apoplexy, loved
and mourned by a large circle OF
friends.
Edgar w. Nye, the noted humorist
died at his home in Asheville, n. G.,
Saturday, also from the result of a
stroke of apoplexy. Mr.. Nye was a
native of Maine, and began writing
for newspapers in 1875 at SIP a
week. His fame as a humorist con.
tinually increased and in recent wears
his income has exceeded $25, 600 q
year. Probably no other writer
except DR.. Talmage had as large ar
income as this. Though his humol
was often spoiled by coarseness, biz
writings were admired by thousands
ofreaders, and he was generally recog
nized AS the greatest humorist o
the present day.
Hon. M. D. Harter, a well known
ex-congressman, committed suicid,
Saturday at Fostoria, o. He hat
been suffering from insomnia ant
ended his lie with a revolver. MI
Harter represented Ohio in the Fifty
third congress. He was a banke
by profession, and his views on gol,
as the standar! of money and FIRE
trade won him a national reputa
ton. He was one OF the best know
democrats of the Fitty-third cor
gress, declining a denomination t
enter a Philadelphia banking firm.

The mar who cats because heis hungry
is, thus far, on a level with the brul es.
The man who stops eating the moment
his hunger is appeased is the wise man.
Nature 1T eds no more food than she calls
for. Continued excess brings about in
digestion or dyspepsia, with loss OF flesh,
strength, sleep, ambition and mental
power; and an accumulation of aches,
pains and many dangerous local mala-
dies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some art,

Gen. CIark~on Rays Everything Is Not
Going To Mckinley

Chicago, March 10. :. Clarkson of
Iowa is in the city on his way 10 Des
Moines TO attend the Iowa Republican State
convention wednesday. He says the con-
vention will he "A" lore FEAST at which the
Allison forces will receive new strength
as Iowa is a unit IN her support of her
favorte son. He is confident that ALI
sons chances of successful Presidential
nomination increases every day, and he
discounts the claims of the managers of
rival booms.
No one has won the fight yet - 81 id Gen
Ciarkson, NOR has any one even gained
leading plurality in the 1856 delegates
SO far elected out of the 9ls who will be
in the convention"
A strong ma jority of the delegates so far
chosen are in the South. or these South
ern delegates Mckinley has not so far re-
ceived majority in any State, except
Arkansas, a State which cannot possibly
give the Republican ticket Il single elcc-
toral vote and which will probably not
even nominate an electoral ticket In
Louisiana Mckinley has actually fewer
votes than Reed or \ ilisOn
The same is true in Georgia In Missis-
sippi he will not have more than half
the delegates in the convention at st.
Louis. In Florida two delegations have
been elected-onc declaring to be for Me-
Kinley. but not instructed, and the other
instructed for GOV. Morton.
In Texas, of the eighteen delegates so far
elected. he has but six, Reed and Allison
having the rest in about equal numbers.
In the North. the Ohio delegates are, of
course. for Mckinley; in Pennsylvania,
Quay; in New York. for Morton. and in
Illinois. ten for CulOm and two for Nc
Kinley. The Mckinley managers have been
grievously disappointed in Louisiana,
Georgia. and Texas. and are by no means
happy over their results i'm Illinois. One
good thing can DE said, and that is the
contest SO far has been in perfect good
nature, and there is no reason why it
should not go on SO to the end ~
