Farmer Rellamy s. sutton. the repre-.

Farmer Bellamy S. Sutton, the repre-.
sentative from Shelby county in the In
diana Legislature, proposes in a bill that
he has offered that the hotels be made
to print their menu-cards in the English
language, or that the State withhold
from them the proposed relief and pro-
lection asked for in bill that is being
favorably considered.
When the bill for protection of hotel
keepers came up on Saturday Farmer
Sutton introduced his amepdment. In
its support he exclaimed, with a swing
ing gesture; 81 object to having the only
name down on a hotel bill for goose
livers to be patty-day for grassay."
This precipitated a discussion. lasting
thirty minutes, and then the amendment
was laid over for special action Tues
day.

MAY BE A RICHMOND CASE.
TwitcheII to Go Before the Hastings
Court To-day.

Court To-Day.
The case Of Carlos A. Twitchell, the
white man who is confined in the county
jail awaiting trial for shooting in the
doorway of the County Court Paul
Davis, the negro who ruined his daugh-
ter. promises now to assume considera-
BILE prominence. The prisoners counsel,
Hon. George ID. Wise, on yesterday APP
peared before Judge Wickham in the
County Court and made application for
bail for him.
The question Of Jurisdiction was raised
by Mr.. Wise, and as a result, the mo-
ton for bail was docketed. and the case
will be taken into the Hastings Court
to-day on a writ Of habeas corpus for
the purpose OF determining whether or
not Judge Wickham has jurisdiction in a
case when the crime is committed in
this city.
Commonwealth's-Att Sands was
on hand to argue against granting
Twitchell bail. He. Captain Wise. and
Judge Wlckham held a long consultation,
in which they decided that the question
OF Jurisdiction was involved before that
of an application for bail.
The application for bail, when 1t comes
up. will be made under amended section
1860 of the Virginia Code. This amend
ed section differs from the old. In that Il
localizes the courts in which application
for bail may be made. This amend
ment was the result Of the famous
"Gold-Brick Case in which bail was
secured for the swindler Parker by a
writ of habeas corpus. being carried be-
fore a judge in a distant part of the
State.
If Judge Witt refuses bail, the case
will be carried before the Supreme Court
of Appeals. If it IS decided that Judge
Wickham has not jurisdiction, Captain
Wise can secure TwitchelPs release upon
the ground of unlawful detention He
will then be brought 20 the city jail, and
the case will come regularly into the
Hastings Court. Under the recent enact
ment. Judge Wickham has no right 10
grant bail If he has not jurisdiction.
This is the first case to come up in
Richmond under the new law.

Municipal Extravaganza.
ATLANTA Journal)

The history OF the municipal govern
ment OF most Of our cities presents a
startling array of loose and reckless ex-
penditures, of extravaganza and corrupt
contracts.
Philadelphia. for instance, has been 60
ing It at a merry pace. The total ex-
penditures of the city in $3.50 were sl4,-
$50 $50: Eve years later they had risen 10
SO. 232. COO; in 1886 they were SO, 22S.6l7
The expenses OF the departments, which
represent the general cost Of maintain
inc the municipal government, were So
4sl.5O7 In 1896; S1S,5l1,9A in 1891; and So
29l. lis in 1896.
The increase OF expenses has been out
OF all proportion to the growth OF the
city in population, business and wealth..
Several times q halt has been called,
but Il has been only temporary. These
sudden fits OF reform have been followed
by a swift relapse into the old methods.
and there appears to be little hope Of a
permanent check to the evil
New York spends more than twice as
much money on her city government
as that OF Philadelphia costs But New
York has far more than twice as much
taxable property. The good City Of
Brotherly Love stands near the top Of the

nicinalities

How to Relieve the Pain OF
Burns.


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
have no new remedy to add to the
hundred already on the market, but l
have a remedy for the horrible and in
expressible pain which sets the suffer
ing child almost mad and rends the
heart of mother and friends beyond all
expression. Until recently ] have
known no sort of patient who harrows
my own feelings so much as badly
burned child. The remedies generally
used are only palliative. Large doses of
opium act but slowly, and don't give
anything like perfect relief Besides,
the chloroform relieves the shock.
I lately saw a fine. healthy boy,
years old. fall into a tub OF boiling
water His agonies were heart-rend-
ing. the little creature going from the
arms of father to mother. vainly seek
ing relief / found it impossible my
self to endure the agoniZing sight. /
said: This child must be relieved, and
there is only one thing in the world
that can do 1t. and that is chloroform.'
The grandmother and friends protested
but the agony OF the mother was UNI
endurable, and she said 'anything!'
In less than three minutes the child
was sleeping like a lamb. II was ne
cessary to remain with the child three
or four hours. Any sensible mother. at
the end of this time, can be taught how
to continue the agent without any dan
ger or risk 1t may be necessary 70

of the most dangerous OF all agents TO

That old question of Virginia bonds held
by the Federal Government is again up
in Congress. 1t is an old, old affair, but
the position Of this State is a correct
one-vlz., that as soon as the United
States are willing to pay us what they
owe us we are willing to pay them what
we owe them.
All that is needed is a law of Congress
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury
to come to a settlement with Virginia,
upon the basis that each government shall
be charged with what it owes the other.

The sentiment of Congress in favor OF
the passage of carefully drawn bank
ruptcy measure has been growing for
years past, and there Is some chance that
one may be enacted before the present
term ends. Only little over three weeks
OF life remain for this Congress- but the
work OF the session is much farther
ahead than II is ordinarily at this dis
lance in time from the close OF term.
There is a general agreement among
those who have given much thought TO
the subject that the principle underly-
ing the Torrey bill ought to be present
i'm any measure which is enacted. "A
bill on this line has been before every
Congress I'm recent years. and at last
there seems to be a prospect that one
OF them will get on the statute books.

TOOK SULPHATE OF ZINC.
A Sensitive Naugatuck Woman At
 tempts Suicide.

lClHpto oulClue.
 Naugatuck, Aug. 16.-On Sunday af- ternoon Mrs. William Craig of North Main street purchased in town two ounces of sulphate of zinc for 10 cents. It is alleged that she believed it to be poison. At any rate. she dissolved it in water and drank it. Sulphate of zinc is a comparatively harmless salt, and is frequently used internally. Taken internally in large doses it is a poison, but at the same time it is an emetic Soon after drinking the solution, be- tween and 8 o'clock last night, she was seized with violent vomiting, and so threw the liquid up.
 This has probably saved her life A physician was summoned, who gave her liberal drinks of water and an an- odyne to allay possible inflammation of the stomach. She soon got much bet ter but is hardly considered wholly out of danger as when the salt is taken a relapse sometimes sets in after the pa tient is recovering.
 Mrs. Craig says that she had been much troubled because some Sunday paper had written her up for riding a bicycle, and some of her family had scolded her in consequence. This had so preyed on her mind that she took the poison.
