GRAVE YARD INVENTIONS.

The inventive genius or man Is mol
limited to the affairs OF the living. This
fact is established by an Investigation oil
records which will show that thousands
Of patents have been Issued for contriv'
ances to be used 10 the resting places oil
the dead. Some OF them are weird and
grisly and their contemplation is enough
to make ones flesh crawl.
The "cofin torpedo" is the latest pat
ented device in the line OF burial appii-
snces. 1t is introduced into the caske,
before the latter is closed, the arrange
ment being such that any sttempt to
force the receptacle open will release q
spring, strike q percussion cap and set
off the bomb. This means almost eur
death to the unsuspecting grave roboer,
whose industry the invention in ques-
ton is designed to discourage.
or rather different order are numer-
Gus other inventions, most OF which
have for the primary idea some method
OF communication with the living, by
those who have been buried, apparent
ly dead, but in realty, alive. Among the
most interesting of these are the 30
called '1ife Signals" which are contriv-
ances intended to secure the release OF
persons premsturely inferred. There
can be no doubt that to many human
beings the fear of being buried alive
some day is haunting dread through
life.
All of the patented devices for lie
signals have one feature in common
namely, wire or cord attached to the
hand OF the supposed corpse. ln each
case it is intended that any movement
shall set off an alerm of some kind. One
continuance employs & small red flag,
which shoots up from the grave and dis
plays itself above ground il required.
Another is called grave snnunciator."
A disturbance in the coffin closes an
electric circuit and springs an alarm in
the watch house of the cemetery. The
superintendent takes note of the num-
Der OF grave indicated by the alarm, and
proceeds without delay to dig up the
victim.
Yet another species Of apparatus is
operated by q spring catch, which
throws open the lid of tube extending
from the coffin to above the ground,
thus admitting air. At the same time
bell is set ringing.
On q somewhat different principle is
an Indicator in glass case, to be placed
on top of the grave and communicating
by wires with the alleged defunct below.
IL the latter moves at all, a needle shows
it.
Most elaborate of all such devices is
one in which q wire 10 attached to q
ring on the To umb of the corpse. The
slightest movement Of the hand pills a
trigger, which stsrts a clockwork me-
chsniem. This sets eff an alarm, and
at the same time puts in operation fan
which forces air down tube into the
coffin. There is second tube provided
with lamp and reflector, so arranged
that one may look down and see the
face of the deceased. AFTER reason
able period has elapsed, the tubes are
TO be withdrawn.

A GENTLEMAN who saw and talked
with Mr.. Cleveland. the morning he left
Washington for his Buzzard's Bay
summer residence says he never saw
him In such a Disguised humor, and
that the most of the language he used
when speaking of the probable action of
the Chicago convention was unprintable
IN a family newspaper. From what
this gentleman said / got the impress
sion that Mr.. Clevelsnd's present
opinion Of the democratic party is iden-
tical with that once expressed of the
public by the late William Ii. Wander
bilt. One doesn't have to be an adept
IN fortune-telling to predict that Mr..
Cleveland will not raise finger to get
votes for the Chicago ticket.

When the Bowels Are Disordereed

No time should be lost 10 resorsing to q
suitable remeGy. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the most reliable and widely
esteemed medicine OF it's clsse. 1t re-
moves the causes Of constipation, or of
undue relaxation OF the iutestinee,
which are usually indigestion or q mis-
direction Of the bile. When 1t acts as q
cathartic, it does not grippe and violently
evacuste. but produces gradual and nat
ursl effects, very unlike those of q
drastic purgative; and its po yer of as
sisting digestion nullifies those irritat-
ing conditions Of the mucous mem brane
of the stomach and intestinal canal
which produce fret diarrhoea. and
eventually dyseptery. The medicine
is. moreover, an agreeable one, and emf
nently pure and wholesome. Appetite
and tranquil nightly slumber are both
promoted by it.

BARNES FINDS WHITNEY,

William q. Whitney, of New York
is acquainted with Judge W. II. Barnes
of Tucson, and il Mr.. Whitney becomes
cognizant of the fact that the chief OF
the Arizona democracy has his war
paint on, Mr.. Whitney had better peel
bis weather eye and keep a close look
out for squalls; for according to the San
Francisco Gall of the Sd inst, the Judge

what the Gall says:
Judge W. q. Barnes and Wiley K.
Jones. delegates from Arizona, who have
just arrived in the CITY. say that the
delegation leans toward Bland, but any
candidate will be acceptable as long as
the platform declares for silver. Judge
Barnes is an old time resident OF Illinois.
He was appointed to judgeship in
Arizona under the first Cleveland sd-
ministration, and has since been resi-
dent of that territory. Judge Barnes is
after the scalp of William O. Whitney,
Of New York.
81 just want to meet that fellow Whit
ney," said Judge Barnes. 81 just want
TO meet that fellow" said the Arizona
Judge, % he qusffed q few paragraphs
of red liquor IN the cafe Of the Audi
forum snrex tonight, ''snd l will make
him swallow his insulting language
about the Aouth and the west combin-
ing to repudiate the national debt. l
want TO tell him to his teeth that the
people Of the south and west are honest
They do not want to see the national
honor questioned. 1t is only such men
g Whitney who talk that way. We are
for silver, and We are going to have q
free silver platform. Mr.. Whitney and
his crowd can rail, rave and tear their
hair as much as they like. They will
have to get in the silver band wagon
just the same, or else get out of the
democratic way"
While Judge Barnes was denouncing
Whitney many silver men who were
blinking glasses about the tables Of the
brilliantly illuminated cafe listened at
tentivsly, and at the conclusion Of the
little speech there was generous sp-
plsuse. Then the colored waiter stepped
up to the judge and remarked: "Boss,
yuse done spoke Immense."

favor OF restoring the tariff which Mr..
Cleveland scaled down."
Evidently 10 The English view the
money question is not the leading issue
OF the coming campaign. Eugland sees
in Mckinley president who will work
for American and not for British inter-
ests; president who will advocate and
support tariff for the protection OF
American, aud not for the protection OF
British industries; q president who will
not play into the hands of British free
traders at the expense of the American
people. 1t is no wonder that England re-
CARDS the coming election Of Mckinley as
"a ''grievous misfortune" and that Great
Britain and Great Britsin's tools and
allies on this side of the Atlantic have
strained every nerve to prevent his nomi-
nation, and will undoubtedly strain
every nerve to prevent mis- election.
The American people, however. are
not likely to stand by MAJOR Mckinley
any less firmly because England is afraid
of him, and because his election would
be "a grievous misfortune" for the
British trade and industries, which,
under q Cleveland tariff. have been
hourishing on the work which Amer
icans ought to have done, of supplying
the American market. While Americ-
ans do not wish i'll to any other country.
they decidedly prefer that "the grievous
misfortune" which they have had to
endure under Clevelsndism should be
banished across the water by McKin-
leyism, and such will unquestionably be
the result of the election Of Major Nc
Kinley on republican platform Of
protection, reciprocity, sound money
and all that McKinleyism implies.

ENGLAND AFRAID OF MKIN.

Mckinley" Now cable dispatch from
London is headed, England Fears Nc

once imperial power fears that President
Mckinley would put an end to the Span
ish war of determination In Cuba and
show respect for the wishes Of congress
and the will of the American people by
acknowledging the just claim OF the pa
triots to recognition as belligerents.
Englsnd's fear is of another kind and

declares that the election of Major Nc
