MISCELLANEOUS.
A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. l.. A. Toboldt, of the
University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invallds
for five centuries, is certainly
we'll worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this RENE
dialagent has been such that |
may truly say that no remedy
which | ever employed has given
me SO much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
bafled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only limited amount of exercise
was indulged in. l obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be-
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
Many limitations of the genu-
inc imported Carlsbad Waters
and Carlsbad Sprudel Salt are
being sold here by druggists and
others. The genuine article is
bottled under the supervision of
the city of Carlsbad, and has the
seal of the city and the signature
of EIsNER & MENDELsoN Co., sole
agents for the U. S., New York,
on every bottle. All others are
worthless limitations.

table of cases treated, will be

plication to the agents of the

WAGON LOAD OF FLOWERS.


Lexington. Ky, February 17.-Tbe
largest funeral ever seen here over a COL
orod person took place yesterday after
noon when Isaac Murphy, the famous
jockey, was laid to rest. The body was
escorted from the house to the cemetery

Templar, and the colored lodges of Ma
sons.
The funeral procession was one of the
longest ever seen in Lexington. A num-
bsr of prominent turfmen from all over
the country were present and floral trib-

it requiring a large wagon to haul the
flowers that the dead Jockeys admirers
had sent to decorate his grave. The re-

STEAMSHIP ST. PAUL

Another Attempt to Float the Big YES
sci Fails.
LONG BRANCH IN. j., Jan. 29.-The
siIyery January full moon beamed
brightly on the steamer St. Paul to-
night, but, contrary to expectations, the
advent of the orb of the night was not
attended with the presaged full tide,
consequently the ship remains on the
beach. Neither was the long-for east
erly wind forthcoming.
At the morning flood tide, which was
full at S o'clock an attempt was made
tc float the ship. Three monster tugs
pulled themselves almost out of the
water in their efforts to move the yes
sci. The kedge anchor and capstan
were utilized, but with this combined
power the ship moved only twenty-one
feet, and then refused to bulge an
other inch.
No attempt was made to move the
st. Paul this afternoon. During the
morning the crew set to work tighten
ing the ship. The lifeboats, dayits,
tackle, and, in fact, every piece of de-
tachable deck fixture was removed and
piled on a lighter. The two topmasts
were also lowered to centralize the
weight. The last piece of cargo was
taken out this morning, consequently
the ship is many tons lighter than yes
terday.
President Clement A. Griscom of
Philadelphia, with his son, Clement, Jr.,
arrived to-day by special train over the
Pennsylvania road. They boarded the
steamer at 4 o'clock. with the intention
of remaining on her till she floats, pro-
viding it is not later than tomorrow
evening. Mr. Griscom is satisfied that
everything possible is being done to
save the vessel.
The wrecking masters have every
thing ready for the supreme effort
which is to be made tomorrow to float
the steamship. The trial will take place
after 8 o'clock, and if this is unsuccess-
full they viii not renew their efforts un-
til there is a storm tide.
The railroads carried thousands to
this place to-day. Some of the visit
ors came from distance of 800 miles
to view the shin.

THE OCTOPUS" IN KENTUCKY
What the Meaning of GoebeI's For
feiture Bill Is.


(From the Stockton independently
Senator GoebeI of the Kentucky Leg
islature mistakes the voice Of the fifty
three persons who assembled in San
Francisco at Mayor Sutros call, for
the voice of the people of California,
and has introduced a bill to forfeit the
charter of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company. Sutro's prayer for
freedom from the octopus is only
prayer against the particular octopus of
which he is not tentacle. Viewed
from the distance of Kentucky's cap
ital Sutro may appear as a grand old
man." but the grandeur disappears
when viewed through the Sutro Tunnel
and many other media which give the
people a closer view of the real man.
Like a statue at great elevation the
defects are imperceptible from the
earth, but when one scales the monu-
ment or dome the coarse work of the
journeyman appears and dispels the IL
fusion which invests the statue with
those attributes that extort admiration.
The Frankfort dispatch containing
GoebePs expressions was read with
avidity in California by those who are
actuated by resentment that causes
them to throw themselves into the arms
of Sutro and his political hacks, but
others read it with as much amuse-
ment as was caused by the three tail
ors of Tuley street who opened their
manifesto with: 1--WE, the people of
England" What the people of Califor-
MIA want is a reasonable, business
like settlement with the Pacific roads
on the best terms possible. Revenge
is a costly luxury in which business
people rarely indulge, and when re-
venge is sought on a plan that prom
ises neither relief nor compensation to
the people only the designing among the
crowd will seek to take advantage of
it. That the Sutro movement is not
popular movement is evident from the
refusal of the mass meeting to consider
the demand for Government ownership,
which has as many adherents and adj
vocateS in California; as has the de-
mand for foreclosure and sale of the
road. The violent manner of Sitting
down on" the Government ownership
advocates gives impetus to a growing
opinion that those who are stimulating
the foreclosure and no compromise"
movement hope to become buyers of
the aided railroads and in their turn
become an octopus. The kind Of men
who took the lead in San Francisco does
not fully bear out the idea, but those
who came to the front are not all WILL
ing or conscious instruments of a new
octopus, but those who compose the
contemplated combination chuckle with
glee at the gratuitous labor performed
in their behalf by men who, like Sen
ator Goebel, mistake the voice Of Sutro
for the vox populi. and hope to be
waited into the popular favor they
have lost on a wave of sound.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
DAY, after the Stanford case had been
disposed Of, heard the beginning OF the
argument in what is known as the
import rate case" arising under the
Interstate Commerce Act"
The proceeding was begun before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
November, 1899 by the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation,
which asserted that many railroad
lines made an unjust discrimination in
favor Of goods coming from abroad un-
der a joint ocean and railroad tariff
against domestic traffic originating at
the seaboard.
The commission found this to be the
case and ordered the roads to cease
making the discrimination. The Texas
Pacific refused to obey, on the ground
that by doing so it would be deprived
OF a large part of its traffic between
New Orleans and San Francisco COM
ing from foreign countries, and claimed
that if it We're compelled to charge upon
such traffic the local rates from New
Orlenas it would suffer great loss and
Injury without benefit to anyone except
its competitive carriers, many OF which
are not subject to the Act to regulate
commerce or other laws of the United
States.
Suit was brought in the United States
Court at New York to enforce the order
of the commission, and Judge Wallace
entered judgment against the railroad
company, from which it appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The case has once been argued, but the
court being then composed of eight JUS
tices, was unable to report q, conclu-
sion, and it was assigned for reargu-
ment before a full bench.
For the company ex-Judge John f.
Dillen appeared for appellant and Simon
Sterne for the commission nominally,
really for the New York Board of Trade
and Transportation.

long and short haul clause of the Inter-
state Commerce Law will be argued

A Utah Republican Assaulted by Pres

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. pa bru-
tai and unprovoked attack was made
tonight by Angus NJ. Cannon, Jr., son
of President Cannon of the Mormon
Church, on Charles Crane. Hhe lat
ter was the original organizer of the
Republican party in Utah, and for a
number of years was Chairman of the
State Committee. He opposed the cleo
ton of F. J. Cannon, cousin of Angus
Nj. Cannon, Jr, to the United States
Senate, and Angus has since had a
bitter hatred for Crane.
He first assaulted Crane on May lst,
and apologized for it, but later followed
him to his office, and, while Mr.. Crane
was seated in a chair, with his fists
dealt him several blows in the face. In
the struggle which followed Cannon got
the worst of it, when Crane alleges
Cannon attempted to draw his revolver,
but was prevented by outsiders, who
arrived just in time probably to save
Cranes life.
Cannon is the young man who IN
company with F. j. Cannon, now Sen
ator. attempted the life of the District
Attorney few years ago, for which the
present Senator served term in prison.
