Mental Alteration, Tried to Hang
- Himself.
1t was rumored on the street Satur.
day night that the Hon. Marine Smith
had attempted suicide by hanging. Mr..
Henry Drumm, bis sonin law, when seen
by Camera representative, made light
of the matter and stated that Mr.. Smith
was not at all injured He had been
found by his daughter in the barn with a
rope fastened tightly about his neck, and
with the other end fastened to a rafter.
His feet, however, were touching the
floor and he was in no immediate danger
when found. Mr.. Smith has been in very
good condition since his return from
Pueblo and his lapses FROM sanity are
not frequent nor severe. Saturday, how
ever, he became little more morbid
than usual, which induced him to at
tempt the terrible deed. When seen by
a reporter he was perfectly rational and
expressed surprise at the foolishness of
his own action.

Operators for Florida.

Chicago, Feb. 2S-In accordance with
sealed orders, forty of the swiftest tele-
graph operators to be found in the offices
OF the Postal Telegraph or Western
Union will start for Florida at once.
None of the operators know or dare tell
the mission for which their salaries are
raised and their transportation paid. l,
is believed that the government proposes
to have them scattered along the coas,
so as to be able to secure the best oi
service in case of hostilities.

NOT THEIR FAULT.

Mrs. Callahan States That the COmmis zion.
xers do not Refuse Clerical Hire.
( Mrs. Sue Callahan takes exception 10
the item which appeared in the Camera
on Saturday, the substance of which was
to the effect that the clerk and recorder S
Office was 200 instruments behind in re-
cording on account Of the failure of the
county commissioners to provide suffi-
cient clerk hire. Mrs. Callahan asserts
positively that the commissioners are in
no way responsible for the recording be.
ing in arrears and that they have never
refused to furnish her with all the cleri-
cal force she desires. She regarded the
article therefore as direct reflection
upon her for failing to secure sufficient
help. While admitting that the Office
was in arrears and had been so for some
two or three months. Mrs. Callahan stated
that the numb,r of instruments which
were awaiting recording scarcely mum
bered $50 instead of 200 as stated. She
expressed some Indignation over the fact
that the Office was criticised and said
that it could not be expected that an Of
fce could keep up to date.
In the meantime expressions of dissat-
isfactlon continue to come from parties
doing business in the recorders office,
many believing that an instrument should
be returned within few days after nllng
instead of few weeks. Mrs. Callahan's
present inadequate force are compelled
to work early and late. There is some
speculation as to what the drift of the
clerks policy really is

Key West, Feb. 28-The board of en-

the heat OF public opinion to cool off. As

Treatment For Rheumatism.

Tie Russian peasants. more especial
IL those residing in the neighborhood
Of Moscow, have peculiar and origi
nal method Of treating themselves for
that lane If mankind, rheumatism.
Many cures. even in very bad cases, are,
it is claimed, effected by making the
patient take ant baths.
The manner Of preparing these baths
is ns follows: An anthill is sought, and
when found a sack is filled with ants.
ants eggs, and. il it be considered nec-
essary. certain quantity Of the earth
which conlpuses the hill. The sack is
then closed Theoretically and carried to
tho home of the sufferer. A warm bath
is already prepared here, md the sack
is plunged bodily into tho hot watey.
Soon this latter begins to give of Pc
culiar pungent odor, characteristic OF
forlnic acid The bath il now ready for
tho patients immersion. The action OF
the bath on the skin is one Of intense
irritation, and tse result seems to be O
drawing out Of the ovil and tho conse-
quent disappearance Of the rheumatic
pains
It Is advisable for any one who may
be tempted to try this remedy to be
careful not to remain too long in the ant
bath. as the consequences might be
total disorganization Of the skin, which
would peel off, duo to the violent action

PURE TOBACCO.
The London Lancet Says II IL Not Ipjur,.
Gus to Sn,okerA

The London Lancet Says II IL Not Injuri.
Gus to smokers
Referring to the agitation started in
France ty u society which acts on the
principle that tobacco is always use
less, often harmful and sometimes homi.
cidai, The Lancet says: I'VE agree In
10 far that we allow tobacco to be some.
times very harmful. 1t is, Of course. =
poison. but so Is ten, as also coffee,
two vegetable products which are con.
sumed by nearly every inhabitant OF
either England or France. All three cal,
be and very often are abused, but thi.
does not do away with their reasonable
use. In these days Of rush aud hurry TO
bacco has often most soothing and
restful effect. The tobacco sold in
France Is, to put it mildly, Tot good,
and although ia England it 10 possible
to buy fairly good tobacco it is next
door to impossible to get.it pure.
That is 90 say, it is nearly always
scented or treated in some way SO as to
give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are
beyond the parse of any but rich man.
and as tor cigarettes the filth sold as
such is beyond description. A pure to.
bacco society would be an admirable in
stitution, and. as for the traders saying
customers like scented tobacco. the
customer seldom gets the chance Of
smoking anything else. The truth Is
that. as in tIse case of highly scented
tea or soap, IL is cheaper to lake infe.
rior qualities of stuff than to SUNNY the
real thing. To be unsophisticated an
article must be Of good quality, but the
craze for cheapncss il running every.
thing, and when people buy cigarettes
at SO cents ~ hundred it is not to be
wondered at that they get-well, an in
ferior article.
In view Of these dicta 1t is interesting
to note that cigarettes are turned out in
large quantities by firms Of repute at a
retail price nearly a third less than the
price mentioned by The Lancet
don Times.
