Clarkson Speaks.
Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 27.-Commander
in Chief Thaddeus S. Clarkson proceed
cd to deliver his annual address. After
he proceeded to touch upon variety
OF subjects. In relation to the story
of the war as taught to children in the
books of the public schools, and which
has recently come in for large share of
public attention. he said:
mo subject in which the Grand Army is
interested is more important than that the
truth of history should be taught to our
children. The committee of eminent COM
rades appointed by me to consider and re-
port upon this subject have given much
time and thoughtful consideration to it,
and I do not hesitate to say you will be
surprised at their findings. and feel sure
you will approve their report and recon-
mendations. 1t is certainly not the object
Of the Grand Army of the Republic to
keep open the wounds of the war, but OF
this we are determined-that one side of
that great struggle was right and the other
side was wrong-and we were not the
wrong side, and we don't intend that our
children shall be taught that we were.
1 hope the report Of this committee will
receive the careful consideration Of this
encampment, and this or a similar COM
mittee shall be kept at work until school
histories in use in our public schools tell
the truth"

A NEW theory of sunstroke has re-
Gently been expounded and is of partic-
ular interest at this season, when the
source of the worlds heat is getting in
its hottest work. This theory is that
what is called sunstroke is in fact the
creation within the blood of the victim
of specific poison that acts upon the
nerve centers or ganglia and so affects
the brain and other organs of the body
and often causes death. The poison is
created by a sort of chemical reaction,
and is thought to be made possible by
certain conditions of the kidneys.

A RULER SLAIN.
President BOrdu of Uruguay Killed
by an Assassin.

Montevideo, Aug. 26.-Idiarte Borda,
president of the republic of Uruguay,
was assassinated yesterday afternoon.
The crime was committed just few
minutes after the president left the ca
thedral, where he had listened to the
Te Deum sung on the occasion of the
anniversary of the independence of
Uruguay. The assassin is Avelino Ar
redondo, an officer of the Uruguayan
army. He is Uruguayan and only ~
years old. Now that Uruguay's chief is
dead, he is calm, and declares that he is
content with his action.
Arredondo, who is now in prison I'M
der close guard, declares that his crime
was not inspired by anything more
than personal hatred of the president.
He had, he said, no accomplices and is
willing to take upon himself all the
consequences of the deed. ,,

is flattened under the pressure, and as
the wheel goes round the pressure
travels along it, leaving behind it a
vacuum into which the air flows through

DR.. SANDwAs, a French physician,
claims to have discovered a new system
for increasing the range of singers
voice as much as two full notes in the
upper or lower registers. He obtains
this change by inhalations of various
aromatic vapors. Those of Curacao
liquor are said to add volume to the
high register, while vapors of dis
titled extract of pine needles will bene-
ut the lower notes. Steaming coffee
and rum will stimulate the voice in
general, strengthening the middle
range particularly.
