T. RENEWED.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: DR.. Julius
Althaus claims to have discovered the
philosophers stone of the physiological
world; in other words, he says that by
suitable electrical treatment old men can
be made middle-aged, and middle-aged
men can recover much of the feXlbllity,
strength and appearance of youth. His
panacea is the g%alvanic current, which he
applies to the brain in carefully regulated
doses. He maintains that a week or two
after the commencement of such a
treatment the energy of the system is
considerably enhanced. The old man
takes fresh interest in the affairs of daily
life and resumes work with some amount
of vigor. He can take more exercise, he
walks and stands more erectly, and he
has q quicker digestion and a healthier
sleep. He is no longer a nuisance to his
friends, as his peevishness and irritable
ity have given place to an even and con-
tented temper. Not less gratifying to
those who are on the downward grade Of
life is DR.. Althaus's statement in regard
to the effect of this electrical treatment
on the hair. He insists that the growth
of the hair is stimulated, and ever when
gray or white it resumes to a greater or
less extent, its former brown or black COL
or. In 100 cases treated the results of 40
per cent were noted as very good" in
another so per cent as fair and in the
last 80 per cent as "insignificant." Dr..
AlthaEs adds that in no case was the
treatment entirely useless, and the func-
ton which was improved in every case
was that of walking. DR.. Althaus pro-
tests against the treatment being aban-
doned without a long and patient trial,
for the longer it is maintained the better
are the general results. He has come to
the conclusion that if old people receive,
| about the SiXtieth or siXty-fifth year, or
indeed at any time when age has begun
| decidedly to tell upon them, proper and
minutely carried out applications of cleo
tricity to the brain, either daily, every
other day, for some time, they may keep
! the faculties fairly well until the as~ of
so or 80, unless the case should be cOmpli-
Gated with serious organic disease of the
nervous system or other important or
sans, such as paralysis agitans. insular
| selerosis, cancer, contracted granular
kidney, fatty degeneration of the heart,
etc. The letting loose upon the public
sensational stories as to the marvellous
virtues of high-tension currents, for in
stance, in the securing from the body and
the casting out to the distance of four
to five feet of the microbes of the human
SYSTEM, which has of late been not infre-
quent, has created some incredulity in
the average mind as to the therapeutic
value of electrical treatment, and posi-
bly, Or Aithaus's theories may come in for
their share of the distrust. At the same
time, many of the physiological effects of
the various kinds of electrical current
are not yet known, and some discoveries
in electro-thcrapeutic application are now
being made by a leading scientific worker
in this country which are not in any de-
gree less remarkable than the Develop
ment attributed to DR.. Althaus.

WHEN PA COMES TO LUNCH.

My pa don't come home ev'ry day
To lunch with ma an me-;
He's jes' an awful busy man,
An so he can't, you see.
He avs if he has time he jest
Steps out n gets a bite"
Or else he goes without a thing
Till he m home at night
But when the front gate goes slam bang
Then Towser pricks his ears
An runs an hides, an ev'ry one
Is all put out, it pears;
An ma she shrieks, "Oh, sakes alive!
Things come all in a bunch!
Hum, Ted, tell Kate to fry some eggs;
Your pas come home to lunch."
An then there's such a goin' on!
An pa says, with a frown,
IF this is all you've got for lunch,
I'd better stayed down town.
An ma she says, Ted, leave the room,
You sit an crunch an crunch!
Why can't you be a good boy when
Your pa comes home to lunch?"
An pa he's awful gruff an cross,
An ma she's crosser yet;
An Kate she's crossest of EN- all,
An tells me what I'll get
If L don't stop a-makin' noise,
Or get out of her way;
An, say, I'm awful glad my pa
Don't come home ev'ry day!

ings ago. and was introduced to a wo-
man in full reception dress, a little fuller
than usual, perhaps. The Fur ex-
changed the ordinary c~ommonplaces, for
he talks the language of the country to
which he is accredited. Gradually his at
tentionbecame riveted upon the woman's
costume in such a manner that she was
embarrassed and raised her fan in front
of her. Al length the minister in his
earnest way. pointing to the low cut of
the bodice asked:
Madam, does your husband permit this
without prOtest?'
The woman colored furiously, and re-
Piled that her husband found no fault
with her taste. The minister shook his
head in a deprecating way, and began
to tell how different it was in his country.
The woman made her escape as quickly
as possible. Not many evenings after
ward the minister was at another official
reception. He was presented to a we'll
known society woman, and began:1,~aG
Are you married." ,-
The woman answered in the af1irma-
tive, with a smile.
May 1 ask how long you have been
married?"
The woman said that she had entered
the state Of matrimony some ten wears
ago.
How many children have you?" was
the next question.
The woman replied, with a slight mani
~fastation of embarrassment that she had
more.
The minister stopped to think for a full
haif-mInute, and with Il puzzled look re-
Sumed:

The woman fed, and what the minister
was gong to say will never be known.

DEWEY NEEDING REST.

Dewey has been the hardest worked
officer since last May, in the navy. From
the hour he fired the first shot at the
Spanish fleet in the harbor of Manila to
the present day he has labored under a
continuous nervous strain which is
shown in his ashen face, his whitened
hair and his lost appetite. AS a British
officer recently remarked: Dewey is
living upon will power, he looks like a
10 q
dying man ~
Dewey has not had an hours relief
from responsibility. He has been COM
PEELED to endure the e~nervating effects of
the climate while performing the most
rduou duties of his office. 1t is reported
that some time ago he expressed his be-
lief he would not see his native country
again. He sees before him two more
years of service at the Philippines, but
he says that while he would like to visit
the United States, he can not return until
his work in the Philippines be finished"
That is like Dewey.

A HEALING BALM.

When President Mckinley visited
states and cities some months
aso, and at one place wore a confederate
badge which was presented to him, and
ar others won the hearts of thousands of
southern people by words, speeches and
the many in whose memories ranked the
bitterness and enmity of a third of a CEN
fury. he builded better than he knew. He
imnlanted in the breasts of the people
of both the north and the south, a spirit
of good will and forgiveness which have
since cropped out and manifested them
selves in unlocked for places and situa-
tons.
One instance quite as noticeable as
many others, was recently brought to the
notice of the southern people by the In
diana legislature. That body adopted a
resolution providing for the return to the
state of Texas of the battle flag of Ter
RVS Texas Rangers, which was captured
by an Indiana regiment during the civil
war.
When this action was communicated to
the Texas legislature the proffer was
unanimously declaring that: THE ac-
ton of the legislature of Indiana is rec-
ognized as most generous, chivalrous and
patriotic, and is hailed as a most graft
flying evidence of the restoration of that
unselfish and unsectional spirit upon the
existence of which so largely depends the
prosperity and happiness of our common
country, and that the thanks of the legis-
lature be, and they are hereby, rendered
the legislature of our sister state of In
diana for its patriotic action"
AS additional evidence of the brotherly
kindness which prompted the entire pro-
ceedings, the committee from the Indiana
legislature to present the flag was invit-
ed to visit Austin at an early date and
the state officers and legislature of In
diana were also invited to accompany
the visiting committee. 1t was said the
Texas state officials, Grand Army posts
and Confederate camps in Texas were
also among those invited to attend the
presentation ceremonies. Such evidences
of patriotism are in the nature of heal
ing balms which allay and soothe the
last vestiges of ill-feeling which may ex-
list between the erstwhiIe wearers Of the
blue and the gray.

OFFICERS GALORE.

Inspector General Rolf of the Cuban
has submitted a list of those who
island. TIL list shows that the Cuban
army was composed of $4,000 men of
q, 600 were commissioned officers.
Never was a country supplied with such
a remarkable ratio Of ~privates to officers.
The civil war left a surprising number
of colonies, majors and brigadier-gener-
ais in the south, but the Cubans out
differed the lost cause fighters and then
had a few thousand to spare. Probably
every private counted himself a host and
required an officer to AXE care of his
multiplied self.
But what will those s3,o 600 amount to
among the ~privates when the officers
made a "divvy'' among themselves?
Hardly a drop in the bucket Of their
wants. Those three millions, however,
are all the Cuban army will get from
Uncle Sam. The situation is as amusing
as it is embarrassing, and we fear that
MANY. very many, of those before un-
heard of officers will be content to accept

SILVER REPUBLICANS TONIGHT.

The silver republican caucuses will be
held tonigh at the places designated by
the committee at 1880, and every member
of that political organization should
make it a point to attend. The sentiment
in favor of cooperating with the admin
istration republicans in the forthcoming
city election is strong with the rank and
file, and from present indications the two
wings of the party will work together in
the interests Of good local government.
The silver Question has been forced into
the background by both factions Of the
democracy, insofar as the city campaign
is concerned, leaving the way clear for
the silver and administration republicans
to cooperate. To bring the two wings
of the republican party together, how
ever, on a basis honorable and fair to
each, and without humiliation to either.
is the work tina lies before their rcspec-
tive city conventions. With each onven
ton composed of men anxious to promote
the best interests of the city of Butte,
with the public welfare the paramount
issue in each body, there ought to be little
difficulty in the adjustment of the details
of cooperation.
1t is therefore essential that the silver
republicans tonight turn out literally to
their caucuses and name men for dele
gates who will honestly and fairly voice
file of the party when seated in V
ton. Among the administration republi-
cans the sentiment is practically mani
NOUS in favor Of cooperating in the city
campaign, the indications point to a
spirit of fair play in their councils. If
we do not misjudge the character of the

remain for the silver republicans to treat
it's overtures in the proper spirit. To that
end let fair minded men be named at the
caucuses tonight, with a view to con-
serving the ends of good city government
through a combination of the best ele-
n1pntS in the community
1t is said that democratic influences are
actively at work in both wings of the
republican party, in an effort to keep
them apart, and that all sorts of schemes
will be devised to that md, in order to
assist the ticket placed in nomination by
the democracy. Attempts will be made
doubtless to place men in nomination
upon whom the two divisions of the re-
publican party cannot agree, and to
formulate platform u]tterances that
might keep them apart, and all that, but
1t is believed tina the level-headed men,
bers of each convention will recognize
the utility of cooperation in the forth
coming campaign on a basis satisfactory
TO all concerned.

TO PLUM ISLAND.

Troops from Fort Monroe Coming to the
Sound-The Original Fever Patient.
Washington, Aug. 3.-Another change
was made to-day in the destination OF
the troops at Fort Monroe. General
Merritt telegraphed the war department
that in Difference to the earnest recon-
mendation of Surgeon General Wyman
he would direct that the troops be sent
to Plum Island in Long Island sound
The marine hospital officials at Hamp-
ton have succeeded in tracing and locat-
ing the former inmate of the Soldiers
home, who is believed to have brought
yellow fever to that place.
His name is William Thomas. He ar
rived at the home on a transport from
Santiago where he had been visiting
between July 2 and last. He was adj
mitted to the home as a veteran and
shortly after developed chlls and fever
In the light of subsequent events the
experts believe there is little doubt that
he was affected with mild case of
yellow fever, although it was not dag
noSed as such at the time
When well enough to travel he left
the home and his baggage was sent to
Phoebus. The man himself went to Co.
lumbus City Wash, where he now is.
Surgeon General Wyman regards it as
fortunate that Thomas went to such a
high altitude as it greatly lessons any
danger of infection.
