A YOUNG WIFE'S MANIA.
Married But a Month Mrs. TAFT
Longs for Her Irish
Home.
Sad Case Of Insanity of Young
Woman Only Two Months in
California.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
918 Broadway, Oct. 3.

oOo DIOduHdy, OCI. .. J
A pathetic case of insanity was reported
at the Receiving Hospital this afternoon.
Mrs. James TAFT, living in East Berkeley,
was taken TO the East Bay Sanitarium
from her home, and it is thought she will
have to be sent to an asylum.
Two months ago the young woman
came to stay with her sister in this city.
She came direct from Ireland, and a
month ago she was married to TAFT and
the couple esta blished a cozy little home
near the stockyards. Soon after her mar
riage Mrs. TAFT became melancholy and
was completely overcome by home-sick-
ness.
Every thing possible was oone TO recon-
cile her to her new home and life, but her
melancholia gradually became worse and
now it is not considered to ne safe for her
to be alone.
Tne physicians are of the opinion that
with proper treatment Mrs. TAFT may soon
regain her reason.

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
Vermont.

THE recent failure OF d. M. Crosby & Co.,
the Boston brokers, catches many people in
st. Johnsbury, Lyndonville and Woods
vile, N. H., where branch offices were To-
Gated.
JOHN MCLEAN OF Glastonbury, who has
been held in the sum Of 81 900 for an as
sault with intent to kill his iather-in-law,
was discharged last week. The complain
ant had disappeared and no one appeared
against Mclean.
ONE Of the fine group OF barns at Forest
Stock Farm, Brandon, the stock farm and
summer home OF II. r. g. Watson OF New
York was completely consumed by fire last
Thursday. The barn which was completed
less than year ago, was 80 by 125 feet,
with basement, and was built in the
thorough manner which Is characteristic of
all the buildings at the farm. There was no
barn at present and contained beside one
hundred tons OF hay, all the grain which
has been cut on the place this season. The
building was partially covered by insur-
ance, but there was none on the contents.
A CURIOUS case came before the city court
OF Burlington last week in which Catholic
priest accuses one OF his Pensioners with
brandishing knife and threatening him,
while the accused lays counter charge
against the priest OF hpynotizing him. Rev.
Father Campeau OF Shelburne is the COM
plsinant and Michael Sullivan the defend
ant. Father Campesu says he met Sullivan
on the street in Shelburne and that Sullivan
accosted him, brandishing knife, and
pushed him about. Sullivan says the priest
got him under his hypnotic intence about
two years ago and has tried to compel him
to marry a Miss Fay. 1t is believed Sulli-
van is out of his mind.

Burke,a Study of America.


Burke nadea special study Of the Amer
loan people-of it's original race traita, of
Its acquired characters and of all the influ-
ences of climate, soil, geographical posi-
ton and social tradition that might be
counted on to modify those traits and to
accentuato those characters still further
From this research into local conditions
emerged certain psychological principles
of general application, prominent among
them the law of habit. Habit Is the force,
Burke thinks, that has consolidated the
elements of feeling, instinct and reason In
the human mind into smoothly working
whole. Habit gives to human action q
strength, surety and swiftness that seem
unattainable by any other means, and the
longer habit Is at work the greater viii DO
the effect produced by 1t. Escape from the
influence of habit Is difficult, II not impos-
sible. Even when person or q community
voluntarily determines wholly to ignore
1t and to reconstruct in every detail the
already established plan Of life, the at
tempt will result either In stoppage Of
action or In failure to break away from
custom after all. Much less can habit DO

lator who tries to run counter to the fixed
customs Of a people will meet With o.

Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
/ had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped II possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time q lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said would try 1t, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. 1 still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs B. A. LOMBARD,

THE city OF Havana has been without
meat for several days. Milk is also very
scarce. Only the sick in hospitals are sup
piled regularly with either article.
AN imperial ukase has been issued from
st. Petersburg decreeiug that theigold re-
serve held against credit notes must not be
less than half the value Of the notes, so long
as this does not exceed six hundred million
rubles. Above this amount every ruble
must be fully covered.
REPORTS from Labrador confirm earlier
rumors OF the complete failure OF the fisher
les. Hundreds Of vessels are returning,
bringing accounts OF exceptionally poor
fishing There is every reason to believe
that there will be widespread destitution
among the fishermen during the autumn
and winter, which will be aggravated by
low prices now ruling in foreign markets.
THERE are now $1,000 troops and ninety
guns, including Maxims. modified on the
frontier Of India. Everything is ready for
the advance from Shabkadr The men are
in splendid condition. The lower Moham-
ands on the border are anxious to submit on
any terms; but the main body is still de-
termined to fight. 1t is reported that the
Mullah OF Hadda has failed to raise the
gathering he expected and will retire to
Tirah.
Mr.. HyaE 9; SMITH, governor Of the
Bank Of England states that the bank will
positively adhere to its expressed determi-
nation to hold one-fifth Of bullion reserve

ernor said the bank had no negotiations
with the United States Monetary Commits
sioners. adding: "We have bought no sill

AN attempt to assassinate President Diaz
OF Mexico was made last Thursday as he
was going from the palace to the Alameda
to distribute medals to the survivors OF the
war. The most reliable version Of the az
fair is that as the president was entering on
foot, the Alameda or Central Park OF the
city, middle-aged man armed with long
poniard jumped forward from the crowd
and made an attempt to stab the president
He was at once seized by the presidents
suite and the police and heavily hand
cuffed. Then, by eide streets, to avoid pub
licity, he was taken under a strong guard to
the fourth ward police station. The author.
tiles have refused to make any statement
regarding the affair.

Sherman Talks About His "Bummers. "

General Horace Porter in his "Cam-
paigning with Grant" in the Septem-
Der Century, tell, of the meeting of
Sherman and Grant at City Point,
where the former gave an account of
his famous march to the sea. General
Porter says:
Sherman then went on to talk about
his famous bummers," saying" They
are not stragglers or mere self-consti-
tuted foragers, as many have been led
to suppose, but they are organized for
very useful purpose from the adven-
turous spirits who are always found in
the ranks. They serve as feelers
who keep in advance and ON the tanks
OF the main columns, spy out the land,
and discover where the best supplies
are to be found. They are indispensa-
BILE in feeding troops when compelled,
like my army, to live off the country,
and in destroying the enemy's commu-
nications. The bummers, are in fact, a
regular institution. l was amused at
what one of Schofeld's officers told me
at Goldsboro. He said Schofield's army
was maintaining telegraph-line to
keep up communication with the sea-
coast, and that one of my men, who was
little.more "previous than the rest,
and was far in advance of my army,
was seen up telegraph-pole hacking
away at the wire with Ratchet. The
officer yelled out to him, "What are
you doing there? You're destroying
one of our own telegraph-lines." The
man cast an indignant look at his ques-
toner, and said, as he continued his
work OF destruction: 'I'm one o. Billy
Sherman's bummers; and the last thing
he said to us when we started out on
this hunt was: Be sure and cut all the
telegraph wires you come across, and
don't 60 to foolin' away time askin'
who they belong to-"

"Pa's Prayers.N

Once upon time sickness came to
the family of the poorly-paid pastor of a
country church, says the Omaha World
Herald. 1t was winter and the pastor
was in financial straits. A number of
his flock decided to meet at his hous g
and offer prayers for the speedy recov-
cry Of the sick ones and for material
blessings upon the pastors family
While one of the deacons was Offering
fervent prayer for blessings upon the
pastors household there was a loud
knock at the door. When the door was
opened stout farmer boy was seen,
wrapped up comfortably.
Z" What do you want, boy?" asked one
of the elders.
"I've brought pas prayers" replied
the boy.
drought pas prayers? What do
you mean?'
" Yep, brought pas prayers an
they're out in the wagon. Just help
me an We'll get 'em in"
Investigation disclosed the fact that
"pa's prayers consisted of potatoes,
flour, bacon, corn meal, turnips, apples,
warm clothing and lot of jellies for
the sick ones The prayer-meeting adj
