A Strange Death.

OF the dangers attending the pro-
pagation of bacteria for scientific pur-
poses, the death of M. Woltof, pro-
lessor of bacteriology in Moscow, is a
painful example. The accounts of his
death state that a year ago he was ex-
perimenting with view of obtaining
the bacteria producing putridity, when
the vial containing a culture of septic
heterogeneous suddenly burst, and
a fragment Of the glass caused slight
wound on his neck. This soon healed
but the bacteria had entered his sys-
tenn, symptoms Of poisoning followed,
and though he was sent to the Crimea
for change of air, he gradually sub
sounded. London Globe.

Cures Palsy By HHnnotism.

Governor Rich, Justices McGrath
and Long, of the Michigan supreme
court, and others, witnessed the re-
markable effect DR.. Cassius Mcdonald,
the Detroit hypnotlst, had at Lansing
on Daniel i. Crossman, the veteran
ex-clerk of the house of representa-
tives. For several years Crossman
has been afflicted with palsy, finally
becoming unable to feed himself or
stand alone. DR.. Mcdonald had
Crossman walking about the parlors
Of the hotel Downey, wholly unsup-
ported, with his hands held high
above his head For over an hour
the patient sat perfectly calm, with
not the slightest perceptible tremor.
Mcdonald says he can accomplish a
complete cure, and Crossman will be
taken to Detroit for treatment Chi

Flsher-Farmers on the Maine Coast.
Fishing and farming 90 not so we'll
together, as the season for planting
crops is just the one when the harvest
Of the sea must be gathered; conse-
quently one sees little cultivated land
along the Maine coast. And when for
a time the sea fails to give up its
riches, it is hard pulling for those
who depend upon its products for
living. This is reported to be the
case this year, and a hard winter is
frowning on many of the little settle
ments on this coast. The fishing last
summer was poor, the lobster season
short, the demand for clans less than
was expected, and the sardine season
much shorter than usual. The cap
tam of a coaster in Portland recently
said already twenty families on the
mainland, not far from there, are in
need of assistance, while on Mallayo
Island things are even worse, many
people now living on bread, molasses
and fish, and suffering from lack of
sufficient clothing.

SENATOR CAFFERY of Louisiana, on
assuming the permanent Craftsmanship
of the Indianapolis rump convention,
thus referred to what had been done
In the name Of Democracy not long
ago at Chicago: enlarged by our
party with the function Of minlstering
In It's temple Of faith, and teaching the
people It's true doctrines, our priests
have desecrated its affairs, broken It's
shrines and taught false doctrine to
the people. We now enter the SanCtu-
sry of the temple and take possession
of the ark Of the covenant Of our faith,
which we will hereafter .Vigilsntly
guard, protect and defend. We will
purify Its deseCrRted affairs and rebuild
It's broken shrines. And lest the hearts
of the people be stolen away from true
Democratic fsith-the faith Of our
fathers and founders-We must seps-
rate from our brethren who have
wrought this evil, and from those who
have followed their evil teaching. We
cannot follow them in the road they
have taken, for their feet are swift to
destruction, and their way is to death.
The ties that bound US were as strong
as hooks of steel, and we part from
them in sorrow." But the ties Of gold
which bind these men to their br sthren
in Wall street are stronger than all the
steel hooks In the country.

coins inaugural address, delivered March

court; nor do deny that such decisions
must be binding In any case, upon the par
ties to the suit, as 10 the object Of that
suit, while they are also entitled to very
high respect and consideration in all par
allel cases by all other departments Of the

If the policy of the government
upon vital questions, affecting the whole
people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decis-
ions Of the Supreme court the
people will have ceased to be their own
rulers, having to that extent practically
resigned their government into that emf
