ONE CURE FOR DLpHTHERIA.

A correspondent states that there is
a very simple and yet most effective
remedy for diphtheria which has been
used for many years past with great
success by the negroes in the swamps,
of Louisiana. 1t is nothing but the
juice of the pineapple. which the
patient should be forced to swallow.
This fluid is of so pungent and zorro
sive nature that it cuts out the
diphUheria mucus, and causes it to
disappear. Not only piccaninnies,
but also large numbers OF white.
children, have been cured by the use,
of this simple yet effective remedy.
The corrosive nature of the Juice is
shown by the fact that if person in
good health happens to take the juice
of a pine apple before the latter is
ripe the mucous membrane of the,
throat is apt to become sore.

ON QUOTING AND ORIGINATING.

Next to the originator of a good sen,
tence is the first quoter of it, writes,
Emerson. Many will read the book
before one thinks of quoting e pas
sage As soon as he has done this,
that line will be quoted east and west.
Then there are the great ways of
borrowing. Genius borrows nothing.
When Shakespeare is charged with
debt to his author, Lander replies.
~ ct he was more original than his
originals. He breathed upon dead
bodies, and brought them into life.
Whoever Expresses TO us a Just
thought makes ridiculous the pains
of the critic who should tell him
where such a word had been said be
fore. lit rs no more according to-
Plato than according to me-" Truth
is always pleasant; 1t only needs to lift
the iron doorlids of the minds eyes to
read its oracles. In fact, it is as difficult
to appropriate the thoughts of others
as it is to invent. We are as much in
formed of a writer's genius by what he
selects as by what he originates. Ne,
read the quotation with his eyes, and!
find new and ferYent sense: as a pas
sage from one of the poets, we'll reeitea,
borrows new interest from the render
ing. As the journals say. The profit
of books is according to the sensibili-
ty of the reader, The profoundest.
thought or passion sleeps as in d.
mine, until an equal mind and heart,
finds and publishes it.

A TR4NSPOSITION,

An American, who years ago served
as our minister to Spain, was fond OF
telling the following joke upon him
self:
Shortly after he had become settled
in his new home he was hidden to a
state ceremonial, where he was to be
presented to the King. His know
ledge of languages was limited to
English and French, and being desi-
rous of addressing the sovereign in
his own tongue, he took pains to
coach for the occasion. Several
phrases were rehearsed until he felt
that he had mastered them. When
the critical moment arrived he saluteCs
the King with great dignity, spoke,
few words in Spanish, and passed
on.
What did you say2'' asked an
English gentleman.
Il spoke in Spanish" was the re-
joiner. Il said i east myself at your
feet which am told is the most re-
spectful form of salutation.
"Ah, nonn corrected Spaniard. who
had been observed to smile at the
ambassadors greeting. "You are
you transposed your words,
and quite altered the meaning
What did | say" asked the diplo-
mat.
With a twinkle in his eye, the Span
lard made answer, what YOU really
said was, 1 throw my heels at your
head"
But the King had not betrayed, by
so much as the fiutteriug of an eyelid,
that anything unusual had occurred.

PROBABLY FATAL ROW
MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT UPON AN AGED
COLORED MAN.
Met His Fate in a House Whose Occu-
pants Have FIed-Taken to
the City Hospital.

The dispelsary ambulance was called last
evening to the corner of Twenty third street
and Indianapolis avenue. where William
Wilkins, colored man, seventy-five years
old, was found lying in the street uncon-
scicus. DR.. Kennedy accompanied the am
bulance and started the man to the City
Hospital, meeting the hospital ambulance
on the way. At the City Hospital it was
found that Wilkins had a bruise on the
back of the head, behind the ear, and that
concussion of the brain had resulted
Wilkins was in a precarious condition at
late hour, and it was thought he might die.
The police were notified, and an investi-
cation disclosed the fact that the injuries
to Wilkins had been caused by Jane Tay-
Tor and Thomas Bowman, colored people.
living at 2401 Indianapolis avenue. The po-
lice were unable to learn fully the particu-
lars of the affair which led to the fight.
Neighbors say that wilkins went into the
house an hour before the fight, and that he
came staggering out. People who saw him
did not realize his condition as he walked
south along indianapolis avenue.
The Taylor woman and Bowman disap-
peared from their house, and the police
were not able to find them during the night.

HMUSE MENTS.


The matinee performance at the Broad
Ripple Park Theater yesterday afternoon
was given under many disadvantages By
mistake of some kind the wardrobe trunks
belonging to the company were carried
through Broad Ripple and left at Frank
fort and did not reach the park until after
4:9O o'clock. The performance was delayed
until after 8 o'clock, when it was given
rather than disappoint a large number of
people who were present. Some of the MEM
bers of the company appeared in their
street clothes, but the audience understood
why they did so and was disposed to be
generous. The bill this week is the best
ever presented at the park. the work of
Gallagher and Barrett and Will and Ethel
McRobie being particularly good. Both
teams have something new in the way of
sketch and they certainly pleased the audi
ence. Miss Estelle Belmont made a hit with
her songs and received two encores. The
tragic" comedians Williams and Shields,
also made a hit Little Friday, the child
dancer, repeated her success of last week.
and William H. O'Dell, an eccentric aero
bate comedy artist, assisted In the enter
tainment. The Faucet sisters, a number
not on the programme, caught the audience
with a pleasing speciality. BY a special ar
rangement with the Broad Ripple Street
car Company every person going to Broad
Ripple on the o'clock car this evening
and after that time will be presented with
ticket to the theater for to-night's per-
fcrmance These tickets will be in the hands
of the conductor and be had by asking.
The Fair Bank Theater opens its fifth
week of vaudeville tonight with a bill
somewhat longer than has vet been seen
there on account of the farce "A Country
Terror to be given by George Adams. the
OLD 'Humpty Dumpty' clown.

C., H. & D. SWITCHES.
Property Owners Will Protest Before
the Council Tonight.

The most important matter scheduled to
come up at the meeting of the Council to-
night is the ordinance granting the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton e. Dayton Railroad the right
to lay three additional switches across New
Jersey street just below Pearl street. An
organization of property owners to protest
against the ordinance has been formed and
has sent out circulars to other property
owners setting out their opinion as to the
evil effect of the ordinance and exhorting
them to be present at the Council meeting
A large number will assemble at the city
clerks office at the meeting of the commit
tee on contracts and franchises before the
meeting of the Council, and strong effort
will be made to prevent favorable report
being made on the ordinance by that COM
mittee, which has it in hand. If the ordi-
nance gets by the committee efforts will be
redoubled by the property owners to have
it refused passage by the Council. Inas-
much as the railroad company has as strong
desire to have the ordinance passed as the
property owners to have it defeated, It
is expected that the Council chamber will
be the arena tonight of an exciting contest.
Mayor Taggart and the Board of Public
Works are on the side of the railroad.

ye'nd doubt. So important is this branch of
the service TT at the officer in trying TO ade-
quately describe the Importance of it said:
why. under the 'extended@order the whole
army is in reality skirmishers.' The Skin
misher first appeared in civilized warfare in
the American armv and that he contributed
In no small measure to the success of his
side is evidenced by the success that at
tended his armies in their fights with SUI
the fact is added that every great army of
the world now has adopted the idea that
the skirmisher is an important adjunct to
the army and his presence now is universal.
This branch of the service is the gift of
the late war to the armies of Europe, for at
that time every country had officer de-
tailed as now to gather pointers from the
new methods evolved in the emergencies
that are bound to arise in every war. Dur
ing the civil war the skirTnisher proved his
worth and thereafter the armies of Europe
created this new department in their schools
of military science.
But the American army was not the orig
inator of the science, but rather adopted it
because it had to in fighting the aborigines
about them. Nearly all the wars of this
country have been with the Indians and
skirmishing has BEEN with these foes to
face, necessity rather than an experiment.
So rapidly has this arm of the service de-
veloped that it has in few years almost
rendered the cavalry useless even on re-
connoitering expeditions AS the officer put
it: THE cavalry has about seen it's day."
Thus while the passing of the red man is
looked on with passiveness by some the fact
remains that to him is due an entire revolu-
ton of the methods of civilized warfare
among the people who affect to despise both
the man and his methods.

was born in the southern part of the State.
He came here a good many years ago and
was engaged in a clerical position in the

an active Republican and has held a prom

Democratic papers over the State have
criticised Governor Mount for not appoint

Camp Mount. The second colonel appointed
by the Governor is Colonel Durbin. Beside

THE LINE OF sKIRMIsHERs.
One Branch of the Art of War That
Europe Learned from Us.

A regular army officer in n conversation
yesterday made the apparently paradoxical
statement that the present universal system
of warfare among the great nations of the
world is directly the development of the
original lighting methods of the Indians of
this country.
At first thought the statement appears
inconsistent with the popular contempt with
which the Indian is held as war strategist
by the uninitiated A glance at the rules of
war and the present revised tactics of the
army lend color. however. to this line of
reasoning.
The si<irmishers are the real bone and
muscle of a modern army and by research
