HOW TO FN DOUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.

A CLAIM FOR FIVE MILLIONS.


An American Citizen Asks Our Govern
ment to Collect 1t from France-An Echo
of the Panama Canal Scandal.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Messrs Dit
tenhoefer Lauterbach & Limburger,
counsel for Cornelius Herr, appeared
before Solicitor Penfield at the state
department yesterday and presented a
claim for indemnity in the sum of
$5,OOO,OOO against the French govern
ment for an alleged illegal attempt to
persecute Herr. The case is remarka-
BILE in many ways and is said to be
without a precedent. Herr, whose
name stands high in scientific circles
as an electrician and physicist, al
though born in France of French pa
rents, is an American citizen. When
he was years old his parents came to
New York and acquired American citi-
zenship. Young Herr was educated in
New York, and at the age of 21 he was
lieutenant in the United States army.
In 1891 he was charged by the munich
pal authorities of Chicago with mis-
sion in connection with the reconstruc-
tion of the city after the fire. He after
wards held posts of responsibility and
honor in San Francisco and New York.
He married an American woman and
when his children were born in Paris.
he caused them to be registered as
American citizens at the consulate.
January 10, 1898, his troubles began.
He was stopping at Bournemouth, En-
gland, with his wife and was in bad
health when he was arrested under ex-
tradition proceedings on warrant
from the French government, charging
him with fraud and embezzlement
growing out of the Panama canal scan
dal. Under the law prisoner wanted
for extradition must appear at the Bow
Street police court. Herr was confined
to his bed and SO unable to to appear.
The case was kept open and he was
continued under arrest in his bed four
years, during 1898 to 1896. Then the
British parliament passed special act
that permitted the magistrate to at
tend Herz's bedside and take his testi-
mony This was done and the magis-
trate declared that the charges were
scarcely deserving of notice. That
was on May 2, 1885, and Herr was re.
leased from arrest.
Meanwhile the French government
had instituted proceedings against him
in France and confscated all of the
property of himself and wife. Herr al
1eges that this Misrepresentation and
that the French government knew the
charges against him were baseless.
