For Which Medical Experts Are

In reading the report of the Benham
trial one cannot fail to be sadly i'm
pressed by the serious use by medical
experts Of that much-abused phrase.
"heart failure" as scientifically dcscrip-
tive of the possible cause of the death Of
Mrs. Benham. This unhappy express
sion, says the Rochester. Democrat and
Chronicle, has been applied, as though
it described disease, only within n
few years, and it is still more rcocrtly
that the r>edjcal fraternity hes fallen
into the sloyc2ly habit of using it, in the
sense indicated. Now, it is the common
and convenient servant, not only Of. the
careless layman, who may rot know
better, but Of physicians, WHO are

accurate. ia.
There are various diseases of the
heart, functional and organic, and these
may eventually lead to heart failure,
and consequent death, but it is q rank
abuse of a long-suffering language to
confound the result with the, cause.
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, the care
less riding Of bicycles, and electrocu-
ton, all lead the way to heart failure,
and science has not'yet discovered any
other immediate cause Of death, what
ever may be the contributing agency.
There are few more wanton perver-
sions of the mother tongue than this,
which is first cousin to the almost equal
atrocity found in a similar use of the
word malaria. 1t is enough to rive Il
fastidious persontn chill to read Of some
| one who "has' malaria, as though this,
too, were an ailment, instead of an at
mospheric condition leading to disease.

THE MAGNET IN SURGERY.

Useful in Drawing Steel from the
Flesh. So
A young laundress thrust q broken
needle into her right hand while wash
ing clothes. The needle having disap-
peared in the flesh, the surgeon, who
was consulted several days after the ac-
cident, refused to perform anoperation,
fearing lest he should be obliged to
make a number of incisions amid the
lgaments of the articulation. Two
months afterward, says Cosmos, the
girl lost the use of her right hand, and
the least movement of the fingers
caused her exquisite. pain. Drs. Go
rinewski and Cerestin then determined
to extract the needle with the aid of
a magnet, drawing it into feshya re-
gion where an incision could be made
without danger, To cause this move
ment they chose a very feeble electro
magnet. But a difficulty arose; the
needle having entered point first it
would have to be drawn out backward,
the broken part in advance. The first
trial lasted two hours with short inter-
walls for rest, without aPpreciab!e re-
suit. Before the third trial, the girl
said that she felt pricking in the palm
of the hand near the place whore the
magnet had been applied and where
the needle ought to appear. At the
ninth sitting, finally, the needle ap-
peared beneath the skin and came out
whole, broken end first, without pain
and without loss Of blood. IT, Gxcd IL

Meehan's Monthly has recorded trees
growing from the mortar Of stone
walls and on church steeples. 1t is
said that horse chestnut several
years old is still growing from
tomb inside an old church at Kempsey,
near Worcester, England, The monu-
ment built in the church is to the MEM
DRY of Sir Edmund Wilde, who died in
1920. The tree is now several years old,

The Next Senate.

An eastern paper has been looking
forward to the senatorial election that
will decide the complexion OF the
Senate Of the Fifty sixth Congress. and
has come to this conclusion. @The
Senate will be close. The gold m IN
have thirty holdover senators, and
two already elected to the Fifty-sixth
Congress. making thirty-two. Nine
states are regarded as certain to re-
tain gold senators, as follows: Con-
necticut, Maine, massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wiscon-
sin. This gives The gold men Al votes.
The silver men have twenty-nine
holdover senators which number will
probably be increased by election in
the following ten states: Florida,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah and Virginia, making total
silver vote of tnirty-nine. The states
placed in the doubtful list are Cali
fornia, Delaware. Indiana, New .Jer-
sey, New York. North Dakota, Wash
ington, West Virginia, Wyoming and
Oregon-a total of ten.
Commenting on the forecast, the
Denver News says: "At least three
OF these states the News does not re-
gard as doubtful. Indiana, North
Dakota and Wyoming are practically
certain to elect silver senators. This
would make the totals stand-silver
forty-two, gold forty-onc, doubtful
seven. Regarding these figures as
substantially correct, it may as well
be admitted that the next Senate
will be uncomfortably close on the
silver issue. Still, with the trend of
popular sentiment in favor of silver
and the effect which complete
change IN the majority in the lower
house will have on senators, and the
choice which will be presented to
Democrats to get out of the party or
Tote for silver, it is possible to predict
that the next Senate will be held by
the silver men. The situation, how
ever, is not one that can be regared
with indifference. The gold bugs are
already laying plans to capture ma
jority of the Senate. The silver men
must beat them"

The SaarInan Murder.

On the 9th of May, 1895, the coun-
try was startled by ono of the most
horrible murders that ever took place
in this State. Mrs. Saarman Gard
nervlle woman. about 65 years of
age, was killed with Ratchet and
the body partly burned to conceal the
crime.
The husband was the first to give
the alarm. His story was that he was
In the field working, when about 4 in
the afternoon he saw smoke coming
from tho house and found that it had
been set on fire by some one who had
murdered his wife with Il hatchct. 1t
was claimed that the woman was out
ragged and murdered by tramp
-Four different tramps were arrested
and examined under the suspicion
that they committed the murder. but
nothing could be proven definitely
and they were released. At the time
there were ugly whisperings to the
effect that the husband had commit
ted the crime, but no motive could be
established and he never was formally
accused. 1t was denied that he could
in any way benefit by hel death and
it was not shown that there had been
IN enlargement between the aged
couple.
More recent velopments, how
ever, show there was large insur-
ance policy ON her lifc and it has
come to the ears OF the authorities
that he being the beneficiary named
in the policy has collected the money.
1t is also claimed that she was a mis-

with him. These facts have come to
light recently and for this reason

Suffrage in the New Territories


The question of suffrage, under the
limitations of the fifteenth amend
ment, is not a source of difficulty. The
provision is :" The right of citizens
of the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State, on account of
race, color, or previous condition of
servitude." Assuming citizenship of
the civilized inhabitants of annexed
territory, it by no means follows that
Congress is bound to extend to them
at once universal suffrage or, indeed,
any suffrage at ALL The first territorial
government of the Territory of Or
leans (the settled part of the
Louisiana Purchase, in which was the
city of New Orleans included a COVER
nor, judges, and a Legislative council,
all appointed by the President of the
United States. Suffrage restricted by
an educational or property qualif
cation does not come under the inhi-
bition of the amendment. These
possibilities afford ample room for
frame of government suitable to such
territories as the Philippines From
