Warner VS. Mr.. Mudd.

Mr. Warner has published statement exon
Grating Mr.. Mudd from the unjust accusations
put upon him in the ellington
Colloquy. He says that:
1.-THE statement contained in some OF the
papers regarding my visit 10 Annapolis dur
ing the Senatorial campaign is incorrect. |
never visited Mr.. Mudd's house with Mr..
Feaga nor without nor went with Mr.. Mudd
and Mr. Feaga TO call upon Nc. Wellington
No money was used by me or By any one else
with my knowledge to influence or bring
about the election of Mr.. Wellington as
United States Senator.
"Mr. Mudd knows why he was induced to
postpone his Senatorial aspirations and !, OF
course know the same thing. Mr.. Mud and
| understand each other and several others
know about the matter. Great injustice has
been done me as well as Mr.. Mudd and Mr..
Wellington by the intimation that there was
improper influence exerted by us or TO which
either of us was party. Mr.. Mudd had q
fair fighting chance for the Senatorship and
the support OF himself and his friends was
necessary to the election of Mr.. Wellington.
Without this support, in my opinion, Mr.
Wellington could not have been elected.
81 am not now at liberty TO give the de-
tails. When they are published they will
reflect credit upon MIR. Mudd for desiring TO
prom ote party harmony aad the interests OF
the State as we all understood them at that
time. am not a candidate for the Senate,
nor have made up my mind that want to
go to the House. | have enough TO do now
and am not in politics willingly"
Chief interests In the statement made by
Mr.. Warner regarding his share in the cleo
tiou CT Mr.. Wellington as Senator is caused
by his reference TO the terms by which he
caused Mr. Mudd to postpone his Senatorial as
pirations and vote TOR the present Senator.
Mr.. Warner has always been a tribe vsgue
regarding this matter and as bar. Mudd us
claims any knowledge OF the terms TO which
Mr.. Warner refers the lattef's meaning is
still the subject OF speculation.
Mr.. Warner states that he and MIR. Mudd
understand each other, but Mr.. Mud is not
at all certain on that point lie says that Mr..
Warner may understand him but be does dot
exactly understand Mr.. Warner -Evening

The Little Widow.

We publish the following poetry at the re
quest of young gentleman, whom we pre-
sume, considers it very applicable to his situa
ton in love affairs,
She is cunning-sometimes witty,
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not 100 young and not TOO old;
Half inviting, bali repellant,
Now advancing and now shy;
There is mischief IN her laughter,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in every art,
She has taken her diploma,
As the mistress OF the heartl
She can tell the very moment
When To sigh and when to SMILE
oh, maid is sometimes charming,
But widow, all the whilel
Alb, ''old fossils, nearly fifty,
Who are plotting, deep and wise;
Ye, "Adonises' of twenty
With the loye-light in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But know little widow
Who can win and fool them all!

F1EEMEN TO THE RESCUE.
Attempt to Burn a New Orleans schoo
Frustrated.

New ORLEANS, Sept "a. : Efficient
work bp the fire department in the face
of the attack of mob, enabled the de-
partment to save the main portion of
the Beauregard school building, which
was fired last night by riotors who OBJ
jected to having the structure converted
into yellow fever hospital. Only the
annex and one end of the structure were
reduced to ashes.
After the mass meeting of citizens
held last night riotous crowd gathered
around the building and openly threat
ened at the first opportunity that they
would fire it.
Throughput yesterday evening Sister
Agnes and a number of other Sisters of
Charity, together with help from the
hospital, had been putting the building
in order for the reception of yellow
fever patients.
At nightfall Surgeon Bloom, of the
hospital, the sisters and others had been
warned that they had better leave the
building. They did so, and made their
way through a dense crowd of panic
stricken citizens. Then small force of
police was ordered to the scene. While
the police were engaged in attempting
to quell the riotous crowd in front of the
building, two incendiaries with five
gallon can of oil proceeded to the rear of
the building and quickly had it in
flames.
An alarm was turned in, but the first
when the hose was cut. When other
engines arrived their hose was also de-
stroyed by the mob. Chief Caster
finally arrived with squad of officers,
which beat the mob back.

DANGER IN GETTING SHAVED.
BARRIERS Ought to wash Their Hands
and Their Implements.

BARRIERS Ought to wash Their Hands
and Their Implements.
The proposition to make a more care
full man of the tonsorial artist, in so
far as relates to the transmission Of dis
ease from his infected to his well
clients, is not a new one. The subject
has been written upon by several ear
nest men before Heinrich Berger, whose
Hygiene in den Barbierstuben'' re-
Gently appeared in Leipzig. No writer
has, however, seemed to go so deeply
into the question and lay down such
strict rules for the knight of the shaw
ing knife. We are told that he must be
a person free from epilepsy and all man
ner of seizures, drunkenness and,infec-
tious diseases.
Being free from these affections him
self, he may give professional attention
to all persons, including those under
the influence, or those likely to have
fit in the chair, provided they are free
from skin, hair and sexual diseases of
an infectious nature. Otherwise they
are to be treated at home with their
own implements. The author gives
number of other rules which are in
themselves and so far as they go good
if BARRIERS could be prevailed upon to
follow them-but he does not sufficient
ly insist upon the necessity of boiling
to the point of sterilization his instru-
ments, towels, sponges and especially
his own hands.
There are many things besides the
so-called BARRIERS itch which may be
transmitted in uncleanly shaving and
hairdressing, and of which the public
knows little or nothing. Favus is de-
cidedly on the increase in this coun-
try, and the number of children turned
away from the cities schools for this
cause since the inspection innovation
went into effect would greatly sur
prise those who think of favus as q.
European or foreign affection.
Attention has recently been called by
a member of the New York rl1Dermatolog-
icaI society to the danger of the ep-
ilating tweezers used in barber shops.
Ingrowing hairs and those attended by
suppurative Inflammation, as in syco-
els, are extracted, and the next conner is
operated upon without adequate and
usually without any cleansing at all
of the instrument. Certain rules should
be adopted, if possible, by BARRIERS in
general to protect their patrons from
dangers which are more real than i'm
aginary. Above all, they should remem-
Der that scrupulous cleanliness of i'm
plements and hands is the first requi-
site, and the advice now being given to
surgeons to "boil their hands" applies
almost equally to them. At the least
they could give little wash between
each "next'' for the mere sake of APP
pearance and in the interest of bust
ness, if for nothing else. = Medical

Sick stomach means sick man (or
woman).
Why not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor food,
poor nourishment; means poor health,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cordial
means health and well stomach.
If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so little
will put it out of order.
But, unless we are doctors, we never
see our stomach. We don't feel it. We
would feel it less if we took Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your
stomach digest all the nourishing food
you eat, relieves all the symptoms of in
digestion, acts as tonic and soon
makes you feel well and strong again.
The more you take, the less you feel
of your stomach.
