The Man Told, and Yet the Professor Was
Not Satisfied.

Not Satisfied.
Professor B., who conducts the
clinic of nervous diseases at -- Med
ical college of Chicago, is himself a
very nervous and easily irritated man.

when teacher and students were we'll
tired out, the assistant rushed in and
asked to have exhibited very interest
ing case which had just arrived.
"Well, be quick about it,, said the
doctor, and he proceeded to emphasize
some previous remarks concerning the
influence of occupation upon nervous
conditions, which point he proposed to
illustrate in the case to be presented.
The patient, an awkward Swede,
having been hustled into chair. was
now confronted by Professor B,
with the admonition to be brief and &C.

By this time the students were grin

poor Swede.
''Now look here, sirl ! want no more

A ray of intelligence lit up the face

Combination of Silveritss I'm the senate

Washington, April 10.-The final
agreement mons democrats. silver re-
publicanG n populists in the senate
looking to a permanent coalition was
reached at a meeting OF representatives,
of those parties held in Senator Cor
mans committee room at the capitol
today. The agreement had its origin in
the effort TO the senate COM
mittees, but ii is destined apparently to
reach far beyond the situation and, in
fact, to the future proceedings of the
senate on all matters, ii not to the cN-
tent of shaping party policies through
out the country.
The silver republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the Goa
lition is to protect the nance commit
tee, which they feared might become an
anti-silver organization in case the re
publicanS We're allowed to have their
own way in committee organization. If
the republicans accept the terms which
the combination will attempt to dictate
the republicans will name a man To
succeed senator Sherman, While the
silver combination will name Senator
Voorhees, successor. This will ensure
the continued preponderance OF silver
men on the committee, while 1t will not
interfere with the republican pro-
gramme on the tariff.

Thomas d. Raines, OF Atlanta.

New York, Apri. 9.-The man in
gray who for a time last month ter
rorized the vicinity OF Central park by
a series OF highway robberies supple
mented by the robbery OF the residence
OF William Barnum. in East Thirty
fifth street. where he presented n pis-
tol at a servants head and forced his

Caucuss of Democratic Congressman

Washington, April 10.-The differ
ences Of opinion among the democratic
members of the house upon the policy
to be pursued by the minority, which
dropped out during the dehate in the
session held today, induced the dem
ocrats to hold a caucus Immediately
after the house adjourned to take their
hearings. The call for a caucus came
from the faction which had opposed
for the speakership. and it was sup
ported by many CT the new members,
as well as the older ones who had an
tagonized MI. Bailey's leadership. 1t
resulted, however. in the adoption of
a resolution which was offered by Mr..
Bailey which embodied the policy
voiced by him in his speech at the be-
ginning Of the session.
The conference consumed four hours
of the afternoon. many democratic
members taking part in the discussion
which rcamed over the whole field of
party policy.
Mr.. Bailey made the first move by
offering a resolution which. in sub
stance, is as follows:
"ReSOlved, q hat the democratic
members of the house of representa-
tives are willing to consider any legis-
lation which the republicans may pro-
pose; to support it if it is good. to Op-
pose it if it is bad But. believing that
most of the measures proposed by the
republicans are opposed to the best in
terests of the country. they will not
urge the republicans to take action"
A substitute for this resolution was
proposed by Mr.. Handy, Of Delaware,
declaring the democrats to be opposed
to the republican policy Of inaction and
pledging them to use every parliament
airy means in their power to force the
republicans to organize the committees
of the house and proceed with legisla-
ton.
The Bailey resolution was adopted by
a vote of about 2 to 1. Another reso-
luton. by Mr.. Dearmond, of Missouri,
was adopted. declaring that the dem
ocrats did not indorse the republican
programme Of house sessions every
third day.

From Marshall, Mimi, The New
York Advertiser has the following dis
patch:
1.-The long, cold winter Of this north
west section. particularly of the Da-
kotas and Eastern Montana, has de-
velOped many new ideas in regard to
where the future supply of fuel for the
prairie farmer and other individuals
of that section must come from, and
it is now quite definitely settled that
such supply sooner or later must be
raised upon the farm, for the farmer
who does not own any timber finds
that his fuel in one winter is a very
costly item, wood being anywhere from
Sc to So a cord. When the farmer lives
away from the timber belt the supply
u come by rail. whether he pur-
chases wood or coal. Both are very
expensive, and this year few farmers
have ready money. In fact, large num-
bers of farmers can afford barely
enough fuel to keep their houses in a
semi-comfortable state.
. In the county Of Lyon many people
have been experimenting with corn for
fuel, and they report it a much greater
success than they had reason to an
ticipate. They are so delighted with it
that they will henceforth use nc other
fuel.
1T gives out a very strong regular
heat, as does good hard wood. and it
lasts nearly as long. The maximum
limits, however, would be far better
than any results yet obtained, as the
methods Of burning it are as yet very
crude. There can be ne doubt, howev-
er, that inventors will be equal to the
emergency and in due time create a
nearly perfect corn stove or special
furnace which will answer the usual
requirements. AS soon as this is done
the farmers and others who are pre-
pared to take advantage Of the benefits
may cultivate their own fuel on their
own land and probably saw so per
cent. by doing so. Two tons of corn
would be equivalent to about one cord
of hard wood if the corr were burned
economically, and corn for fuel would
not need, by any means, the care that
it would when grown for food.

crowd of white and colored men had
gathered around. Officer George sum-
moned some of the bystanders to as
sist him, but not one went to his as
sistance. Policeman Rowan Green
came UP. and Lee continued his re-
s~istance, biting and bloodying both Of
ficers. officer Green put the nippers on
him and they a a struggle with him
all the way to the city hall. When
the prisoner was gotten to the door of
the guard house he refused to go in,
and it took Officers George and Green
and Sergeant Thomas Lossin to put
him in. In the struggle that ensued
Lee also severely bit Sergeant Lossin.

he bled p%rofusely. He will have a
