PERSONAL AND PECULIAR,

A hospital has been opened in Lonon for
the treatment of wounds, ulcers and kin
bred ailments by oxygen gas. The new
method OF. treatment was suggested by the
Zulus. When they are wounded they
climb an eminence and expose their
wounds to the pure air of the mountain
tops. After the Turco- Russian war, it
was noticed also that the inyalids sat
with their wounded limbs bare on the
deck. Scientifically developed, and with
the addition of oxygen-one part of oxy
gen to one part of purified air--that is the
principle now adopted at the Oxygen
home.
In a recent divorce suit in England the
judge and jury accepted as true the state
ment that the wife had been unchaste be
fore marriage. The court however, re-
fused to annul the marriage, saying that
he 90 could understand the broad principle
that unchastity before marriage should
yitiate the contract, as it did IN some of
the American states, on the ground that
a man believed he was making pure
woman his wife, but this was assuredly
not the law Of England, and unless there
was to be one law for the man and an
other for the woman, it was impossible to
suppose it ever could be"
When q circus parade was passing Sixth
and Market streets, in Wilmington, Del
| few days ago an elephant swung his
trunk, striking Mrs. W. A. Sparks in the
face and knocking her down. Mrs.
Sparks threatened to bring suit against
the circus manager, but compromised the
matter on the basis Of $500 for her injur-
les. AS q result of the elenhant's trunk
striking her face the sight of Mrs. Spark s
right eye has been badly damaged and
she may lose it.
Speculation is rife in Europe as to the
cause of the astounding percentage o
suicides among the medical profession in
Russia. In the Muscovite empire the rate
of suicide for ordinary mortals is 30 In
the million. But the rate for doctors Ii
no less than 63I in the million, accordi ne
to recent official returns. This is all the
more matter for concern, as Russia
suffers more than any other nation in
Europe from scarcity of medical men.
The steamship Augusta Victoria of the
Hamburg American line has been length
ened about 60 feet by the insertion of O

been restepped and her tunnels placed
farther apart. Her horsepower has also
been increased by about 500, which it is
expected will enable her to make 20 knots
an hour, instead of IS, as heretofore.

The Massachusetts Senators are being
good deal, criticized in that state for
voting for the duty on hides. Undoubted-
ly the duty is not popular in this part of
the country and would not have been in
the bill if the East could have had it's
way. The Massachusetts, and other East
ern Senators opposed the duty so long as
they could do SO with any hope of defeat
ing it without destroying the whole tariff
bill, but when the choice virtually came
between allowing the duty to remain or
killing the whole bill they accepted the
first horn of the dilemma and voted for
the duty. The choice that they made was
under the circumstances, wise one, and
when the facts are understood many of
their critics will acknowledge that it was
so. The interests of the country are so
diverse that any tariff bill, to become a
| law, must be full of compromises. If the
West should insist that the tariff shouldIbe
just to its liking, and the East should
| stick for duties that would best subserve
| its interests the result would be that
| there would be no tariff law at all. There
| must be concession on all sides. The far
West wanted a much higher duty on wool
than the one imposed, but it had to yield
something to the opposition of the East.
| The East wanted hides to continue on
the free list, but it had to concede some
thing to the demands Of the West. A vote
| for the duty on hides by the Eastern SEN
ators was not tantamount to an approval
of it. 1t was simply declaration on
their part that they thought it better to
| concede this duty rather than to put the
entire tariff bill in jeopardy, as persistent
opposition on their part undoubtedly
| would have done.

The Pennsylvania legislature which has
just adjourned is being quite as severely
criticized by its party friends as by its
party foes. The Philadelphia Press, a
strong Republican journal, accuses it of
sluandering large sums of money in
making so-called Investigations and
junketing. 70 investigate the peniten-
tiary it cost a committee S14, 1893; to inves-
tigate the anthracite miners 81 .9S7, the
bituminous miners 81, AIS, the capitol
fire $1705, the state treasury S4734, oleo-
margarine $1,000, the Andrews business in
Philadelphia COCO. Then the members
attended the Grant and Washington mon
ument dedications and cost the state Sill
900 more. Each member of the peniten
tiary committee put in bill of about
$500 for kilograms, telephone and other
personal expenses. Yet after squandering
all this money it cut down the appropria-
ton for the public schools million dol
lars on the plea of economy. 1t looks as
if Pennsylvania went too overwhelmingly
Republican last year.

The attempt to push President Andrews
out Of Brown University because of his
response its authors probably expected.
So strong protest against it has come
from the alumni that it will probably
be abandoned. As long as we send
abroad as our special agents Senators who
are committed to the free silver theory,
and find no violation of ethics in it, we
can hardly consistently take the ground
that no man is fit for a college president
who is affected with the same kind of
belief.

Representative Crumpacker of Indiana
proposes to introduce a joint resolution
into Congress which provides that no
territory shall be annexed to the United
States, unless two thirds of both branches
of Congress vote favorably, and the leg.
islatures of two thirds of the states con-
cur. Probably Mr.. Crumpacker's resolu-
ton will never be heard of after it is in
troduced. His principal object is doubt
less to achieve little temporary fame,
though why man with such name as
Crumpacker should need to do anything
to make himself famous it is difficult to
see. His name ought to be good for lot
of fame.

Apparently the Turk has recanted
again, and now says he will not abandon
Thessaly. A while ago he promised to
do it, no doubt because of the fear that
he would be coerced if he did not. But
Turkish promises are never regarded
binding, when more can be made by
breaking than by keeping them. Why
the Sultan has changed his mind. or why
he declines to keep his promise, is not
made clear, but probably he has discov-
cred that the Powers are not in accord,
and he hopes to play one off against the
other as he did for two years in the Ar
menian business, and meanwhile have
his own way in Thessaly just as he did
in Armenia. He may not succeed, but
he evidently thinks that the chances of
success are sufficient to warrant new
trial of his old tactics.

The pardon of jeremiah O'Sullivan of
Lawrence by Gov. Wolcott yesterday, was
fully justified by the circumstances.
O'Sullivan was convicted of libel and
sentenced to nineteen months imprison

paign, and though he deserved punish
ment it is doubtful if he deserved as
much as the judge gave him. At any rate
If all the authors of reckless and false
statements in heated campaigns were
punished in proportion to their offence as
much as O'Suliivan the jails would be
overcrowded for long time after our
state and national elections. However,
it was not on the ground of excessive
punishment that O'Sullivan was par

and it completely dominated the recent

the subject. He wants to be Senator and
he espouses free silver simply as one
means of getting what he is after.

The Republican senatorial caucus has
decided two important matters pertain
ing to thestariff bill One is that there is
to be no tax on tea, and the other
that there will be no attempt to add an
antitrust amendment to the bill. The
decision on the first point will greatly
disturb the tea importers who have just
laid in tremendous stocks of that article
on the assumption that the government
was going to tax it, and who expected to
reap a harvest of profit. The
consumer, however, will profit by
the decision just to the ex-
tentsof the proposed duty, for as tea is
not an article produced in this country
the duty upon it would be tax on the
consumer to it's full amount. The decis-
ion not to attempt to add an antitrust
amendment is, under all the circum-
stances, wise one. Such an amendment
proposed at so late period, would inev-
itably lead to very long ebate, the
effect of which would be to greatly delay
the passage of the bill; and it is very
doubtful if Congress could frame and
pass any more effective law against trusts
than it has done already. The decision
of the Supreme Court in the railroad
traffic agreement cases, and the line OF
reason adopted by the majority of the
judges seem to indicate that it migh5 be
possible to break up trusts by their vigor.

may not prove to be the case, but it is

harm in other directions than it coul6
