1t was thought that II Mrs. Sweet were in
formed that her husband was dead she would
collapse and Immediately expire. Later in the
day Mrs. Sweet again asked about her husband.
It was then thought best to tell her the truth.
Mr. Sweet has passed away" said her attend
ants. For some hours after that Mrs. Sweet lay
In a stupor. To-day she rallied again, and to-
night she is considerably improved. Both she
and her husband were stricken with pneumonia

M,x1NLEY,s SPEECH IN LONDON.
varyipr Views OF the Exact Hleanip OF the
Pres,aent's Declarations.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Standard, comment
ing upon President McKinley's speech at the
banquet Of the National Manufacturers Associ.
alton, says:
Neither the bimetallists nor protectionists
will derive much encouragement from the
speech, which seemed like n free trade deolara-
tion. Judged by American standards. No
Englishman will object to the sentiments.
They are those upon which wo ourselves
have acted, and which have gone far to
establish the mercantile supremacy we still
enjoy. II the people OF tho United States take
President McKinley's advice to heart they will
become uncommonly formidable rivals to us in
neutral markets, but they. at least, will be fair
rivals. A contest betw cen the energy, skill and
industrial efficiency Of the two great Anglo
Saxon peoples would DO q severe one.
"Englishmen will require to do their utmost
to hold their own. II In some quarters they find
themselves beaten, there will BIO a certain
sportsmanlike satisfaction In the knowledge
that they have been worsted in q fair fight, not
by tho artificial operation of tariffs and boun-
ties"
Referring to the currency question, tho
Standard says that nothing could be more i'm.
pressive than President McKinley's observa-
tions, but tho acceptance OF the Teller resolution
Is not a good augury for the thorough, e~ffectual
reform at which the President magniloquently
but very vaguely hints.
The Morning Post says that President Mo
Kinley's tone and decision respecting the cur
rency will DO welcomed by the whole commercial
world.
The Chronicle says that the speech would DO
more interesting II 1t were less given to glitter
ing generalities and moro devoted to practical
details. Like most Of Mr.. McKinley's utter
ances. It seems to leave things very much 40
they were.

B~INGHAMToN, Jan. 2s.-George Seymour, who
went into n trance on Tuesday at the jail, where
he is confined for horse stealing, has as yet
shown no signs Of awakening. and is a great
puzzle to physicians and nerve specialists. The

ment in efforts to awaken him. He seems en-.
tirely dead to all pain. He has taken no nour-
ishment since Tuesday night, when he ate his
supper and lay down for his long sleep. His
pulse and respiration are normal. Jail Physi-
clan Seymour this morning pressed tho nerves
above the eye, stuck needles into the flesh.
and placed strong ammonia under his nos
trils, but the sleeper gave no indication
that these painful tests affected him in the least.
Physicians are sure that Seymour is in a cata-
leptic state, but this time he will be treated at
the jail and will not have another chance to
escape. -SeymOur's brother and his wife are also
confined at the jail under q charge of larceny.
Seymour has two brothers who are members or
Barnum's Circus band. and three sisters who re-
side with their parents in Plattsburg. Another

Lanterns can be carried on the ends
Of wagon tongues, instead of on the
wagon body, by means of new hold
er, which consists of a cap to slide
over the end of the pole and support
bracket for the lamp, and wire guard
to keep the horses from striking it.
A handy support for curling irons to
hold them over the gas jet for heat
ing consists of hinged arm with a
clamp at one end to engage the gas
burner and a spring clip at the other
end, which can be swung into posi-
ton near the fame to support the

To safely transport animals in or
binary railroad cars portable stall is
used, having four corner posts set in
movable floor and supporting an adj
Unstable roof, with feed trough hung
on the posts at one end and padded
boards extending along the sides OF
the stall.
To prevent the slipping Of belts on
pulleys movable pieces are set in the
wheel rim and held in place by springs
which allow the pieces to protrude be-
yond the surface of the rim when a
certain speed is attained, to increase
the circumference of the wheel and
tighten the belt.
