ODD Items From Everywhere

Nothing so strikes a stranger visiting Ger
many as the outward evidences of mercan-
tile and manufacturing development. Ev-
erywhere one sees new mills in course of
construction.
There are five Indian reservations in the
State of New York, and at the last census
there were resident among these tracts
5,I44 persons, among whom are 1888
children of school age. There are $4,000
acres Of land, but only $4,000 acres are
TILED.
Medical students in Vermont, who, ac-
c,s,ling to their own confession, were
guzty OF grave robbing, have been made an
example Of A few dayssince, before Judge
Munson, of the supreme court, one was
fined 81 800 and the other 50 900, and in
default of payment, the former was COM
mitted TO Jail.
An Italian scientist, who has written
book on Female Crime in Naples" where
in he shows that there are more women
criminals in Naples than in other cities Of
Italy, observed that there was little drunk
enness among them, and that their crimi-
nal bent was due mostly TO lack of educa-
tion.
Argentina's torpedo boat destroyer, En-
tire Rios, has just reached Buenos Ayres
from England, having made the run from
the Island OF st. Vincent, a distance of

coal. The Entire Rios crossed the Atlantic
in stormy weather, and proved herself a
first rate sea boat.

Women get plenty of sympathy after they
are dead. Tom Hood made a very pathetic
picture In his Bridge of Signs, !" but the
probabilities are that the woman needed
sympathy great deal more before she died
than she did afterwards. Thousands of wo-
men are enduring much worse things thsn
death. The most distressing thing about it
all is that it is needless.
Uterine troubles are considered well-nigh
incurable. Women seem to think that they
must go on bearing these things forever. To
be sure, soine of them make an effort to get
well by going to their physicians, but thou
sands are deferred from this, both because
they have seen that it was not likely to do
much good, and because they knew that the
first thing the physician would insist upon
would be the examinations and local treat
ment so Justly abhorrent to every modest
woman These things are generally ss un-
necessary as they are distasteful. Every
woman can be made strong and healthy by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t is most marvellous medicine for
all forms of female weakness and disease.
II is a wonderful purifier and cleanser It
acts directly on one set of organs, and on no
other, but in doing this, il frequently cures
troubles that were seemingly of an entirely
different character and origin. A disorder
of the distinctly feminine organs is likely to
cause all sorts of symptoms, and careless
doctors frequently doctor women for neural
gia, or dyspepsia or insomnia, when the real
trouble is in the organs distinctly feminine.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will make
any woman we'll. Sometimes when disease
has run on so long that the entire system is
debilitated, it is necessary to use in connec-
ton with the Prescription" DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, general tonic,
blood purifier, and blood-maker, without an
equal in the world There is no case so
severe that these two great medicines will
not cure it. Thousands of women have
frequently testified to this fact

IN MIR. NoGUCHI's HONOR.

Tie Philistine, the magazine with which
1Ir Ebert Hubbard has so much fun at
East Aurora New York., makes a point
Of taking in any strangers that come Ia
bhese shores, and it has tried this on
Mr. Noguclh, the young Japanese poet.
IL announced that a dinner would be
given at the Society of the Philistines in
honor OF Mr.. Noguchi, and Mr.. Noguchi
look it seriously and declined. He did
not know who were the Philistines and
did not care to fall into their hands; and
he was afraid that if he went TO East
Aurora New York; he might get lost, be-
cause in the geography which be had
studied there was no such place So he
took occasion TO write to the New York
Tribune that il need not send its reporters
60 East Aurora to report that dinner, be-
cause there would be no dinner.
Then the Philistine announced that Mr..
Hubbard did not see what Mr. Nogqchl
had TO do with Ii anyway. The Philistines
would give the dinner IN his honor, andif

A DreaIn.

oh, 1t was but dream L had
While the musicians played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade;
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breezes;
As DER a field of marigolds
Our eyes swan DER the seas;
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnig ht-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About the diadem.
The seagull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the siren sing
As we went sailing past;
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at US from their flashing hand
The echoes of their songs.

LAW AND SPIRIT.

Senator Tillman, OF SOuthCarolina. and
his friends at home, are determined that
the elapsing time between drinks in the
Palmetto State shall grow longer and
longer The Supreme Court of the United
States decides that the State is not to in
terfere, by inspection, seizure or otherwise,
with beverages brought into the comm on
wealth for personal use. The Senator be-
lieves that between himself and his legis-
latUre the decision VIII not amount to
much on the general seattle. Tim Campbell
said: whats the Constitution among
friends" A Chicago justice of the peace
from the bench once spoke these words:
'Th' snuprayme coort can hav' what laws

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

II is very likely, as charged. that Sena
tors Quay and Penrose made a strong point
with Major Mckinley that Hon. Daniel
Heavyweight Hastings OF Pennsylvania
would be an important personal adornment
tothe Mckinley Cabinet. Cos. Hastings was
the hero OF the Johnstown flood, at least to
a certain extent, and that gave him con-
siderable popularity in Pennsylvania; so
that in these later years he sometimes felt
like going it in Keystone politics without
the aid of Mr Quay. Yet he has always
been manageable by the great Pennsyl-
vania tactiuan. Hastings is noted for his
big voice. 1t cannot be heard as far as n
fog horn, but then, fog horn, being me-
chanical, necessarily has some advantage
over the voX humana.

CONFESSED THE WRECK.

Sam Palatka, described in the dispatches
as 'CroSs-eyed, q fiend in expression, and
revolving in countenance,' having been ar
rested i'm Atlanta has confessed the ter
rible crime of wrecking the train on the
Cahaba bridge in Alabama, which result
ed in killing 25 people, and maiming many
more. The prisoner gave details and was
revoltingiy indifferent about the matter.
From his confession it would appear that
he planned and perpetrated the deed alone.
-Four other Inen are in Jail at Birmingham,
and three OF them at least have confessed
the same identical felony and murder.
This would seem to indicate that the sin
OF verbal inaccuracy is becoming prevalent
In the Southern States.

Nobody believes that Hon. Charles L.
Kurtz will be appointed or elected United
States Senator from Ohio in place of Mr..
sherman; though those who know this
young man all consider him OF Senatorial
size. He is simply remarkable. He was
one of Foraker's most devoted and impor-
tant followers ten years ago, and probably
Kurtz was not more than thirty at the time.
He has been chairman of the Ohio State
committee and member of the Republican
national committee from Ohio, and admit
tedly he is one ofthe finest combinations of
business man and politician, il not the
very finest, in the Republican party in that
State. He is so close to Foraker, Bush
nell, George Cox and the Foraker machine
generally that he need not worry about the
future, whether the Senatorship shall come
his way now or not.

Was IL TeIenathY2

Pittsburg Dispatch, Jan 8: Sam Jones,
a year ago, when conducting Il series Of
meetings in oklahoma, said that hell was
in oklahoma. Now heis conducting meet
mEs in Boston, and says that hellis within
hair mile of Boston. This creates a sus-
picion that the place of eternal punishment
is following Jones about in an obnoxious
manner.
Washington Times, Jan. s: A year ago
sam Jones located hell in Oklahoma, where
he was then proseIyting. He now locates
it in Boston; which gives rise to the sus-
picion that it follows him around.

Those who happen to know insist that
Editor Kohlsaat, of the Chicago Times
Herald, did not oppose Marty Madden. and
does not now oppose Congressman Lori
mer, for the Senate, because he has had
a straight tip or any direct command from
Major Mckinley to do SO. He is doing
all this rather on his own responsibility,
and upon his own quiet nerve, also, which
has always been somewhat remarkable
for so sounostentatious a man. Ilinoisians be-
lieve that Tanner himself, and not Lorimer,
will fit the Illinois Senatorial situation,
however. This is because the governor is
the only person who can be ma de satis-
factory to all factions. Some believe there
is a chance for Hit or Cannon. II is un-
deTstoodthat Uncle Joe, without, of course,
paving the air very much about it, be-
'lieves that a very prominent member of
the Appropriations Committee OF the House
would suitably adorn the Senatorial seat
Of John McAuley Palmer. The machine
men OF Illinois are, of course, saying Lori
mer now, but perhaps they are quite as
likely in the end TO make it Tanner.

Bcnnett's Remarkable Memory.

James Gordon Bennett OF the New York
and Paris Herald has 9 strange anderratic
memory. One day in New York, having
bought a number Uf'new shirts. he ordered
them sent Immediately To the office. The
parcel duly arrived and remained there for
year, Mt Bennett III the meantime never
putting in an appearance. Suddenly, with
out notice, he rushed in one morning in a
state of great perturbation. The staff
members arose in fear concluding they were
all to be discharged Oh the spot. Mr. Bennett
excitedIy asked: Have those confounded
fellows sent my shirts along?" He never
even alluded to the lapse. of time since his
previous visit.

John Davis Long, who is saidto be slated

account of having lived at bingham, Mass,
where the channel in front of his residence
is three or four feet deep at high water, is
well remembered here as one of the most
agreeable and eloquent gentlemen in the
House His eloquence was particularly no.
ticeable; and Willie Breckinridge, of Ken
lucky, used to call John d. Long the finest
orator in the lower House. That compli-
ment was always returned, for Long used
to say the same thing of Willie Breckin-
ridge. They admired each other very
much and associated with each other very
much. This fact seems TO have initiated
not at all against Mr- Longs popularity
with Mr.. Mckinley, though perhaps no one
ever brought it to the Majors attention.
