On a fine autumn day in $780, a hand
some young man on horseback halted
at a place in Westminster county, New
York, where the road to Manhattan
island divided. The horseman knew
that if he chose the right hand road,
he would save time but run great risk,
for he was a British officer, and the
right road was infested with vigilant
American partisans. So he turned to
the left, hoping for a safer, if longer
journey to the British lines. He fell
into the hands of three Americans, and
every grammar school boy knows what
happened soon afterward. Major John
Andre, young, brave and ambitious, was
hanged as a spy. That was one eX-
ample of the important results that
flow from trifleS. Here is another told
by Mr.. Z. p. Shumy, Of Lebanan
Springs. n. Y;
After an injury received while about
my business" he said, Il had very
severe pains in the region of my kid
neys, attended with great soreness and
tenderness. as well as considerable
bloating of the abdomen. At times it
seemed as if there were a twenty-five
pound weight dragging down each of
my hips. One of the most skillful ply
sicians of Pittsfield, Mass, pronounced
mine a case of Bright's disease in its
early stages.

PETTIGREw's STRONG POINTS.
Wrong to Take Title to Hawaii In
Opposition of Its People.

Wrong to Take Title to Hawaii In
Opposition of Its People.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate de-
voted almost four hours in executive
session to the consideration of the Ha-
was made by Senator Pettigrew, this
/ being the third i-stallment of his re-
marks upon the subject.
Senator Pettigrew devoted himself to-
day largely to the administration of
President Dole, showing how the gov
eminent of Queen Liliuokalani had
been overthrow, and to a presentation
of his views of this governments par
ticipation in the revolution.
He contended that the downfall of the
queens government was due to a con-
spiracy on the part of Minister Stevens,
representing the United States, and
few citizens of Honolulu, of whom Pres
ident Dole was one, who were backed
by the marines from a United States
battleship. He argued that at that time
there was no armed force on the island
opposed to the queens government ex-
cept the United States marines, and,
said the senator, IF the islands were
as rich as the dream of avarice and
their acquisition as desirable as that
of louisiana, we could not take title
from a government set up by ourselves
NiltlOul tie NQSSNlOSl VI al
nexation to a vote of the Hawaiian peo-
pie. To do this" he continued with
emphasis, would be an international
crime which would place Us Oh 6. level
with Great Britain in her subsection of
the weak nations of the earth; which
would be an abandonment of the posi-
ton that has been the policy OF our
government from it's earliest history"
Mr.. Pettigrew also .Ontended that
the passage Of the Mckinley tariff law
had been the direct cause of the revo-
luton by which the queen government
was overthroWn, the motive being to
secure the bounty of cents per pound
on domestic sugar, which that law pro-
vided.
During the session, Senator White of
California attempted to ascertain from
Senator Davis, in charge of the treaty.
whether there would be any early at
tempt to secure vite upon it. The
California senator stated his opinion
that there ought to be at least three
weeks notice of a time for a vote for
the arrangement of pairs. He stated
that he would be compelled to be alb
sent from the senate for the next three
weeks and expressed a desire to know
something of the plans as to bringing
the discussion to an end.
In reply Senator Davis simply stated
that he could not at present say when
the debate would cease or when the
senate would be prepared to take a
vote

FRENCH HYPNOTISM.
The Doctor Advises Patients Regard
ing the Use of Coffee.

In Paris one of the many interesting
sights is the clinique of DR.. BerillOn,
on the Rue St-Andre-des-Arts, where
hypnotism is very largely employed in
the cure of various diseases. Some of
the cures smack of the miraculous. and
the ordinary observer can comprehend
nothing of the why and wherefore.
1t IS noticeable, however, that the
doctor instructs his patients to leave
off coffee entirely" and to some who
have had experience with the drug,
that nay account in part at least for
the cures.
It is rot generally understood, by
professional people, how many
curious disorders have their rise in
coffee drinking. Kidney troubles, con-
stipation. heart disturbances, pains that
are liable to attack any part. and a
long list of bodily ails come from cof
fee, and the following is something of
the pathological reason:
Certain alkalOids in coffee are directly
poisonous to many human systems the
heart IS made to unnaturally increase
its beats, the action of the digestive
machinery is partially stopped, and a
narcotic and poisonous effect is pro-
duced on the entire nervous system.
Some like the effect for Il time, like a
morphine eater, but if persisted in,
even to the extent of one cup a day, a
sure and unavoidable neralty is to
pay.
Some one or more of the vital OF gans
are likely to become diseased and
broken down. i'll health and the hor-
rors oe invalidism is the result. II is
easy to say nonsense. when the truth

ENFORCING bird LAW.

Markets without Usual supply of
Game in Consequence.
Maj. Sylvester has certainly done a great
deal for the protection of BIRDS" remarked
Mr.. Walter Moreland the we'll known deal
er in game, to a Star reporter this MORN
ing. This is the first time for many years,
at this season, that have known the mar
ket dealers to be without good supply Of
reed BIRDS This condition of affairs is due
entirely to ths efforts of Maj. Sylvester to
enforce the bird law"
Mr.: MoEeland said he had notified all his
gunners that he would receive no birds un-
til the opening of the season, and he
thought the other dealers had done the
same. So far as he knew, there had been
no reed birds offered as yet which Is some
what unusual. Some snipe have been killed
in the vicinity Of Gunston and shipped
here, he said, but he Sent word to the gun
ners that he could not handle them, and
notified them of the provisions of thu law
against having them in possession.
Florida gunners, who are evidently not
aware of the provisions of the law here, he
said, have shipped few boxes Of plover
to Washington. In Conclusion, he said
there seemed to be no disposition on the
part Of any OF the dealsrsssto violate the
law this season.
