LOVE SIMPLY A DISEASE.
Distinguished French Savant Says
Unrequited Passion is Only
Form of Insanity.

New York, Sept. I'm. de FIeury,
the French savant, has written the
work called Introduction la Medicine
de PEsprit," which is gravely and APP
prOvingly reviewed in a recent number
of the Lancet, the chief medical journal
of Great Britain
In his chapter on la Medicine deS
Passions" he says:
Love is a physiological phenomenon,
which enters the domain of pathology
the moment 1t assumes the sentimental
form. Do not habitually say: So
and-so is madly in love?' This passion,
which is beyond the control of sense, in
face of which reason loses her rights
and her powers, is inconteStably a hu-
man malady.'
The symptoms of Pamour-ma1adie,
NJ. de Fleury gravely reports, are SINH
lar to those of alcoholism and NOR
phine mania. Everyone will see upon
examination of the facts, he says, that
the pathological processes are absolute
ly identical in each case. And how true
it is. No lover will willingly take M.
de F'leury's cure for love, which is
identical with that proposed for alcohol
isn-separation. But the savant, if he
has his way, viii mot permit the lover
to depart from the question. Send him,
and establish courts of love 1unacy, de
amatorie inQuirendo, and establish de-
creeS of separation, not of the married,
but of the wiSting-to -be-narried-
Discussing NJ. de F1eury's views, the
Marquise de LAMA says:
81 have never been able to fathom the
mystery of unrequited love. When a
man or woman commits suicide because
his or her affection is not returned, 1
am utterly bewildered. 1t is to me in
comprehensive TO prOffer an unweI-
come love. If affection is not mutual
it is foolish and unnecessary. Romance
went out with common school education
and worsted work samplers To me the
spectacle of a nineteenth century per-
son displaying romance and real hui
man nature is both absurd and inn
moral.
''Unrequited love is unquestionably
a disease A man conceives a violent
passion for a woman who is absolutely
Indifferent to him. In the natural order
of things one would suppose, his love
would die lacking sustenance- Not at
all On the contrary, it becomes fren-
w, and realizing the hopelessness of
his ardor, he blows his brains out,
swallows carbolic acid or jumps into
the river.
Healthy love is always reciprocal. A
kind of free masonry exists between
two persons who are destined to be all
in all to each other A mutual sympa-
thy is engendered, and is nourished in
voluntarily. This is natural But when
the affection is all on one side, some
thing is wrong.

WIPES OUT MOSQUITOES.
Ten Acre Swamp May Be Rid of the
Insects at Cost of Few Cents.

New York, Sept. 15.-After science
and desperation have failed to rid New
Jersey of the mosquito a genius has
arisen, like a Moses from the wilder
ness of pests. Instead of experimenting
with them after they have come forth
full-winged and ready for business, he
intends to exterminate the insects while
they are yet in the embryo state and
not gifted with implements of war.
The credit for the startling discovery
as to the best and cheapest method of
Kidding locality of its mosquito home

from the glass jar in which his hatch
ing was being done, Il have got the
best of them and feel that it would not
be a difficult task to rid a whole state
of the torments.

RECORD is BROKEN.
Christopher Columbus, the Whale
back, Carried 81, 143 Passen-
gers This Season.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 15.-All records
in marine excursions were broken to-
day, when the big whaleback steamer
CHRISTOPHER Columbus arrived at the
docks in Duluth from Chicago to go in
to winter quarters at West Superiors
Barring one or two side trips from
here today practically ended the season
for the huge flyer, and the books show
ed total of 81, 143 passengers carried
since the Columbus left here for Chi
cago, June q, to begin the summers
traffic.
This is a new worlds record. not only
for passenger business on the Great
Lakes, but easily surprising in volume
anything previously known in marine
history-river, lake or ocean, anywhere.
The Worlds fair record at Chicago was
outdone by many thousand passengers.
The bulk of the business was done be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee. The
seasons business was handled without
an accident.

NO FIGHT ON COURTS.
POpulist State Central Commit
tee Will Not Call Conference
To Advocate the Abolition OF
Federal Courts.
Radical Sentiments Choked Off in
Behalf of Fusion = Populists
Want Power of Federal
Courts Curtailed Only.

The Populist leaders in conference in
this city last night decided that they
should render all the assistance possible
to the county committees in conducting
the campaign this fall.
This being an off year." said Taylor
Riddle chairman of the Populist state
committee today 1--WE decided that the
best work for US to do is to aid in. car
rying out the local campaigns. The
contest this year will be purely on local
matters and national questions Will not
be injected into the campaign.
The committee selected J. W.Morphy.
business manager of the Advocate, to
write a weekly letter which will be sent
out to the Populist papers throughout
the state containing information con-
corning the dOingS of the state officers
These letters will also show the amount
of money being saved by the present
administrations, Republican and Pop
ulist alike in the past, and will contain
general information pertaining to af-
fairs at the state house
Another step taken today was to Sc
Iect r. w. Turner, secretary of the
state board of railroad commissioners
to prepare a handbook purporting to
show that the gold standard and the
national Republican administration are
not responsible for the present era of
prosperity. This handbook will be the
official document of the campaign and
will be circulated in every nook and
corner of the state
The conference declined to act on the
suggestion of G.. c. Clemens, that the
PopuliSt state committee of Kansas pre-
pare and issue a manifesto calling upon
the PopulistS of other states to join the
Kansas committee in holding national
convention for the purpose of organic
ing a general fight against the federal
courts. Mr.. Clemens made a spirited
speech before the conference and urged
the necessity of such action but the
sentiment was overwhelmingly against
him.
Taylor Riddle, the chairman of the
committee said: sSince August 13 I
have been in Al counties in the state,
having Travelled between 1900 and 1000
miles and our people are opposed to

ANOTHER MODEL TOWN.
Belongs to the Hobart Estate and Is
Located in California.

San Francisco, Sept. 15.--In the last
three weeks there has sprung into ex-
istence up in Sierra county, Cal, close
by the Nevada line, another such town
as Pullman. Overton is the name of
the town, a compliment to Captain
James B. OvertOn, who will be the mag
nate of the mountain municipality, and
every inch of its area and every splinter
of its neat, new buildings belong to the
Hobart estate.
The town is the result of the proposed
exploitation of the immense timber
tracts in the vicinity, which were &C
quired by the late Walter S. Hobart
during the last 80 years of his lifetime
and subsequently by his executors. They
comprise no less than 10000 acres of
white, yellow and sugar pine and fir
all a virgin forest.
OF this vast area of timber &C, 900 acres
are to be cut, sawed and manufactured
an operation which, it is estimated, will
occupy the time of a large force of men
and employment of much machinery for
60 years to come. Every foot of the
land is owned by the Hobart estate.
which will not sell a foot of it, as it
desires TO maintain complete control of
the place in the interest of temperance
and good order. Not a saloon or drink
ing place will be permitted to open its
doors in OVertOn, and all that can be
provided for the comfort and health
and intellectual Improvement of the
residents, whose number will approx
mate 1000, will be carefully looked out
for.

such action. They desire to see some
thing done which will curtail the pow
ers of the federal court but the senti
ment which have discovered is against
abolition of the courts as suggested by
Mr.. Clemens"
Asked if the Democratic opposition to
such a scheme had been influential in
deterring the committee from taking
such steps Mr.. Riddle replied: mo, I
think not. In fact 1 believe that the
committee and the members of the con-
ference acted solely upon information
received from our own people. They
oppose such action and the sentiment
of the committee as we'll as members of
the conference was in strict accord with
those ideas.
I'VE have other issues continued
Mr.. Riddle, which are of great import
ance to the masses of the people in this
country In my opinion it would be
bad taste for us to take such radical
steps. Our people are not as radical as
they used to be. They favor conserva-
tive action on the part of the committee
as well as the party. There are other
circumstances which would tend to
prevent any such radical action. We
have pending in the federal courts mat
tiers Of great Importance in the stock
yards and insurance litigation. We
cannot afford to antagonize the courts
until we are Informed as to their atti-
tude upon these questions.
Although the decisions may be
against US in these cases and although
the federal courts may be a menace to
the people under the conditions which
surround US at this time, yet they were
created to aid the supreme court of the
United States in the transac tion of the
immense volume of business coming
before it. This mission they are fulfill
ing.
THE courts, which have been created
by an act of congress, are constantly
diSpoSing of a large amount of Itiga-
ton between corporations in which we
have no interest, but the cases must be
disposed of and these courts perform
the work which would otherwise re-
main unattended to by reason of the
great volume of cases pending in the
supreme court
The position of the chairman repre-
sents the sentiments Of the commit
