A CAMPAIGN TRICK.
Getting the Best of an Abusive Adversary
In Kentucky.

Getting the Best of an Abusive Adversary
in Kentucky.
A few years ago n plain country doc
tor and Mr.. May who was fond of
( jewelry and wore a valuable diamond
stud in his shirt bosom were running
for the legislature in one of our coun-
ties. The race was close and hot. At
one speaking the doctor made the fol-
lowing fierce and dangerous thrust at
his opponent: Fellow citizens, don't
you want an honest man in the legis-
lature? OF course you do. Now what
sort of man is my opponent? Why,
gentlemen. look at that magnificent
diamond he wears! 1t is almost as big
and bright as the headlight on loco
motive. Your eyes can hardly stand
its glare. IT is worth hundreds-may
be thousands-of dollars. At what val
lation do you suppose he has put it for
taxation in his return to the state as
SCISSOR? Why. at the pitiful sum OF
twenty dollars The crowd yelled
for the doctor. Three days later the
two met in joint debate. Again the
doctor took up his telling theme, and
held forth eloquently and passionately
in denunciation of dishonesty and dia-
nonds and false assessments; and then
ne again told of Mays false return &c

"Do you mean to say this pin is worth

Yes, / do-twenty times or fifty

Would you give twenty dollars for

'Of course / would"
"Well, you can have it for that"
"All rightr' said the doctor, and he

was willing ia take what he said the
pin was worth. He was elected A

the doctor and said: Doctor, don't

SENTIMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Cleveland May BE Asked so Accord
Cubnns ReIIigerent Rights.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The most i'm
portant portions of the Cuban correspond
ence have been printed and will receive
preliminary consideration at the regular
meeting of the foreign affairs committee
of the House tomorrow. The statement
of the chairman, Mr.. Hit, and of other
members of the committee, is in favor of
a resolution declaring it to be the sense of
the House that a state of war exists i'm
Cuba and requesting the President TO issue
his proclamation according the insurgents
belligerent rights.
Mr.. Sulzer, of New York, who has given
the Cuban situation much attention, says
that Congress cannot grant belligerent
rights, or, at least, that it has been the
universal practice of the executive to is
sue proclamations recognizing state of
war and according revoluttonists the rights
of belligerents. This was done in the case
of Colombia, Venezuela and Argentine.
THE granting of belligerent rights said
he, ''only recognizes the existence of a
state of war. and state OF war exists as
soon as an uprising gets beyond the con-
troll of the authorities. Such an uprising
certainly reaches the dignity of war when
it's participants are able to maintain armed
forces in the field and the authorities are
unable to restore order and protect prop
erty. The correspondence shows beyond
question in an official way that Spain,

DECATUR, ILL.,, Feb. 12.-Grant After
bury was lynched at Sullivan at 12:45 last
night Fifteen masked men broke open the
jail and hung him in the courthouse yard.
He died declaring that he was innocent of
the crime OF killing his father and out
raging his sister-in-law. The lynchers were
fully armed AMI several carried sledge
hammers. They made little attempt at
concealment, but went very directly about
their work. just before midnight they ap-
proaefea the JAN, where After Dury had
been confined for the last ten days, charged
with the double crime of numbering his
father and of assaulting the wife of his
brother. The leaders demanded the sur
render of Atterbury and the sheriff re-
fused The latter was assisted by a single
deputy. AS soon as his refusal had been
communicated TO the crowd, a rush was
made for the iron doors. An immense
crowd gathered rapidly, but no one inter-
fered with the work of the lynchers. The
sheriff stood before the door to the cell
room and warned the raiders to- desist
He fired his revolver and was Immediately
disarmed. Half dozen blows with sledges
broke down the doors and then the men
marched up stairs, yelling their commands
and their threats against any interference.
Atterbury's cell was in the upper tier.
The raiding party knew where il was
and the sIedge-hammer brigade was in
stantly piloted there. Half dozen blows
sufficed TO break down the portal. At
terbury fought like demon, but was over
powered and forced down the stairs and

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Cathode rays were
nut to use for the first time to-day in a
surgical operation. Casper Schmidt. who
had been shot in the hand several years ago.
offered himself as subject to DIR. James
f. BURY and electrician Charles Il. Scrib-
ner, who have been conducting a series of
experiments at the laboratory OF the West
ern Electric Company. The bullet in the
hand was small one, and its location could
not be determined by ordinary means. but 1t
at times caused great pain and partial par
alysis OF the member. The injured hand
was exposed to the cathode rays for about
an hour. After the lapse OF that time the
sensitized plate on which rested the wound
ed hand was taken to the photograph room.
When developed the plate disclosed an ex-
cellent likeness Of the anatomy OF the hand
Between the metacarpal bones OF the third
and fourth fingers could be seen the like
ness of what appeared to be buekshot
The lead rested about an inch and half
below the knuckle and was perfectly plain.
This morning DR.. BURY made silver print
from the negative. and. using this a
guide, the physician removed the bullet. The
operation was quickly and neatly performed.
and Schmidt suffered little pain. No drug
was used in performing the operation. DIR.
BURY decided IL was unnecessary. The
cathode rays had simplified the operation so
much that the time necessary for its ac-
complishment was lessened several minutes.
