An Effective Reproof
lllison is one of the kindliest and gen.

Allison Is one Of the kindliest and gen.
tlest OF men. remember story of him
which illustrates his temperament.
When 1 first came to Washington as a
newspaper correspondent heard bit
of rather interesting gossip about the
senator. 1t was not anything to his
discredit, and yet was of such nature
that the senator would naturally prefer
nothing to be said about it, In fact, 1t
was scarcely legitimate topic for a
newspaper article, but l was unable to
resist the temptation to publish 1t. A
few days afterward met Allison. ex-
pected he would give me a good lee
turing and I knew that I deserved It.
But he came up, shook my hand warmly
and said: Il noticed that little story
you published about me. Now, my boy,
let me give you piece of advice. That
sort of thing won't hurt me. 1 can
stand any amount Of it. But 1t will hurt
you. You can't afford to print such
things. My advice to you is not to do it.,
and whenever can be of service to you
come and see me-" Could there have
been more effective reproof? And the
result of 1T was that Mr.. Allison taught
me very good lesson and we have been
fast friends ever since. He could not
nave done me greater kindness.
senator Cullom Is much such q man.
Cullom is not thin-skinned at all. He
jokes and laughs over his own defeats
and setbacks. He recognizes that the
world Is full Of strife, and that every
man has his own fight to make, and he
simply smiles whenever q correspond
ent finds 1t necessary to dig him in the
ribs. Mr.. Cullom is as plain as a pair of
old overalls. He has no affectation, no
frills I have interviewed him a dozen
times sitting in his bedroom in his
nightshirt. He trusts men and tells them
what he thinks and knows-everything
that is proper for them to know and hear
AS If they were members of his own
family.
Both Allison and Cullom tell their
friends that in escaping the presidency
they have escaped heap of trouble and
worry. Neither Of these men is crazy
to be president. Both know full we'll that
to be president means giving up hap
piness. They have seen too much of life
in the White House not to know that he
who enters there leaves behind hone of
contentment and peace and real hap
piness in this world. As It Is L know Of
no two men who enjoy life better than
the senators from Iowa and Illinois,

The Autograph Album Threatens

1t is possible that the album craze in
about to revive. Thirty years ago no
young lady was without her prettily
bound volume, in which she leased and
coaxed her friends to make all sorts of
absurd confessions as to their favorite
flowers, food, occupation. and what not.
Or, did she aspire to higher things, she
would get them to iEscribe a couplet or
a rhyme. We hope that the fashion il
not going to revive, for it became nuis-
ance. but for all that Princess Henrietta
of Belgium, now Duchess of Vendome,
received among her other beautiful we'd
leading literary men off Belgium had i'm
scribed their ideas in verse and prose.

wonan's Suffrage In New Zealand

In New Zealand the effects Of woman
suffrage seems so far to be very favora-
BILE. Reputable witnesses testify that the
tendency has been to strengthen the lib
eral party, to crush the power of the
liquor interests in politics, and to drive
men of bad personal character out of
public life. The influence of the female
vote has been to raise the standard of
morality and devotion to duty in the
public service. and no evils have beer
reported as offsetting the advantages
gained. It seems probable that there
will be permanent uplift in political
affairs as the result of woman suffrage.

I'm little pale about the gills, yet"
said Mr.. "Blinker" Murphy, but I'm
a-getting over it fast. Vince! but didn' t
spit cotton for week after that Sac
ramento convention got through with
itself. Is me and Steve a-speaking to
each other now? OF course we is. Say.
II you knew Gage as well as does, your
heart would go out to him.
Talk about Job and his biles and his
patients. Why. say, that old B. c.
would't be in it with Steve when 1t
comes down to real suffering. Did you
hear about the last rattle out of the box
he got? No. suppose you didn't. I've
got to put you onto everything. What
was it? Why. the day afore Colonel Fred
skins out for Europe, he sends for Steve
and says: Mr.. Gage, I have great con-
hdence in you. Next to me you have
John Dough. Them's my orders. If
you are in dopbt about anything you
can consult with brother WILL
Say, you'd have cried if you'd have
seen Steve's mug when we went down
on the elevator. He was so muddled
that he told the boy to stop at the bot
tom. OF course, I amt a-going to kick
at orders from headquarters. But all
the same wish that Colonel Fred had
borrowed that five hundred thou from
somebody else besides John Dough.

gets him to go and see Will Croker,
a-thinking that If the brother opened up
his tank of politics 1t might do Steve
good. but he comes back to me and says
that all he could get out of Will was
that Newland's grillroom ought to be
boycotted, because once they gave him
and Joe Redding nine oysetrs in stew
when all the other joints give twelve.
That's been a-sticking in Wills craw for
q year.
Say, politics amt what they used to
be. They amt the same kind of people
now what's adding the top-and-bottom
graft. Brains used to count for some
thing, and the push used to get share
Of the. stuff and be satisfied. Brains
don't go 20 more.
Just to show you how easy man can
be dumped nowadays over a thing what
he don't mean to do wrong by, I'll give
you q incident low down, how near John
Dough come to be cooked up in Sacra-
mento. Huddleson went down to the
Golden Eagle to see John about wom-
ans rights or the sound money question,
or something that was a-bothering him,
and there was Spreckels in the dining
room and the waiter a-putting on the
table big dish of green lettuce salad.
Lucky for John Dough, Frank McQuain
was a-eating lunch, and Frank a-seeing
the situation and a-recognizing the SER
ious difficulty what John was in, grabs
the green lettuce and a-scowiing at

to scratch himself and then he will go up
in smoke.
well, so long. I'm a-going to take
Steve out to the ocean beach and let

no DErECT CONSUMPrION.

Many interesting papers were read
before the Pan American Congress in Il e
City Of Mexico on "Wednesday, bul that
of DR.. A. NJ. Holmes, of Denver, Col,
on his discovery of a new treatment of
consumption from morphology of blood
attracted the greatest interest, and was
the subject OF considerable discussion.
D.. Holiness paper was entitled
''Tne Diagnosis of tuberculosis by the
Morphology of the Blood" 1t contain

which be made the discovery OF detec
ting the tubercular g-rm in the human
blood before the sN stem has been at
tackled and at time when it may De
eradicated by the treatment of any ply
scian. DR.. Holiness discovery has
been discussed Very widely in medical
circles, and he was invited to be present
and personally present the subject o
the congress.
The manner in which the discovery
was made while he was experimenting
with blood drops was intere sting 10 the
professional men present. He had no.
uced under a microscopic examination

of the corpuscles, especially OF con-
sumptives, aud extended his re-

brought to him for examination, and in
each case he had either detected the
presence Of the disease or announced
the extent to which it had made in
roads on the patient.
This discovery, while not cure, is
,nsidered by many to be more far
reaching than of Professor Koch, in
that the disease is discovered at time
when it is simple matter for any
physician to cope with it. In present
ing his researches the doctor practically
gave up everything for science, and the
result of labors in the principal hos.
pitfalls of Europe for period of fifteen
months is now given to the world. A
vote of the thanks of the congress was
extended to the doctor for his paper.

A SEVERE IMITATION.

f w. Curry, chairman OF the Iowa
democrat Stale central committee, oi d
oa Wednesday at the Savoy Hotel, D :
Moinea, where he had been Ill fol two
months. Mr. Curry's death is said TO
nave beeH the result Off: .iuries receiv-
d while being Initiated in Des
Ioines lodge of Elks. Blood poison
ing resulted from the injuries, and this
caused death
One account is that during one part
.. the ceremony be was seated IN a
chair with a thin iron seat and large
lighted lamp placed under it. The eX
pectetion was to secure some amuse-
ment, the candidate being expected TO
Jump out OF the chair when the heat
became unbearable. But he did not
lump. With some friends he had been out
IN the afternoon and had beer drinking
neaviy. When be went into the ball
he ws 5 very much uuder the Influence
OF liquor. The presumption is that
when be was placed in the chair blind
iolded MS sensibilities were 50 benumb
ed that he was severely burned without
knowing it or being able 10 move.
The members who witnessed the
cere mouy wondered at his ability to
stand the tortu c, but did not realize
how much the man was suffering until
hey saw smoke rising from the chair.
Then Curry was taken out OF the chair
aud found To be horribly burned. His

badly blistered. He was taken TO his
notel and cared for by the best ply
sicans At his own request it was given
oua that he was suffering from another
trouble and the true story did not leak
out till " dnesday.
As result of The injuries blood

has time on theIe @.,7 almost no hope
ol saving MS lie Nj. Curry grew
wors, steadily and Tor large part OF
Jne last month OF his lie was uncon-
scious. He manifested wonderful vi:ali-

i few hours.

that not even drunken man could

Those who advance this theory Of the
accident say that the current came from

full voltage was probably turned on by
some careless person. This story the
