FIGHTING THE CASE.
Mrs. Barnhill Denies She Is an Abscond-
ing Debtor and Wants Her Release.


Although Mrs. Barnhill, who was ar
rested last week at the instance of Mac
Calum & Cloutier on the charge of being
an absconding debtor, was not to appear
in court until tomorrow. she appeared
before Judge Kennedy voluntarily yester-
day. She came in with her attorneys,
Walsh and James. and entered an answer
denying that she was intending to alb
scond. At the same time her attorneys
requested that the trial to determine
whether or not she had intended to alb
scond be transferred on a change of
venue to another court.
After a lengthy argument Judge Ken
nedy agreed to grant the change of venue
attorneys then claimed the bill of the
sheriff for mileage in serving papers was
excessive, and finally refused to pay any
of the costs whatsoever.
LET the record show their REFUSAL
said Attorney Duffy, who appeared for
MI eCallum & Cloutier, land I move that
the court peremptorily set the case down
for trial.
The motion was granted and tomorrow
morning at 10 O'Clock was fixed as the
time for the trial.
Mrs. Barnhills counsel gave notice they
would demand jury at that time.
At present Mrs Barnhill is out on two
bail bonds. When MacCallum & Cloutier
had her arrested, claiming she owed them
S22S.96 and was about to leave the coun-
try. she put up one bond. Then the Cop
per City Commercial company secured her
arrest as an absconding debtor for a bill
amounting to $12l 40. So far the justice
of either bill has not come up, the present
proceedings simply being to determine
whether or not she intended to abscond.

DESTRUCTION OF KRAkAroA.
The Appalling CONFUSION of Nature That
Happened Sixteen Years Ago


1t is just 16 years since the most stu
pendous and appalling of all the con-
WILSON'S of nature which have occurred
either in ancient or in modern times
took place Aug. 81, 1883, at 10 a. ln
the greater portion of the island OF
krakatoa, in the Straits Of Sunda, was
destroyed, while two new islands were
created by volcanic action We in Eng
land remember the fact mainly on ac-
count of the magnificent sunsets which
followed the event and Were witnessed
all over the world. These sunsets. it
is now hardly necessary to state, We're
caused by the impalpable dust and
vapor particles which had been elected
from Krakatoa to height of 20 miles
or more from the surface of the eargh
and were still floating in the upper air.
The eruption caused great seismic
wave of the sea, which overwhelmed the
villages on the neighboring shores a I'd
drowned upward of 10000 persons. The
height of the crest of this wave has
been variously estimated, but at Tsloh
Betoug, in Sumatra, the water reached
within six feet of the residency. which
stands on hill Is feet above the sea-
and the Dutch man-of-war Berouw an
chored off the coast, was carried by
the wave up valley nearly two miles
inland and was left high and dry more
than 30 feet above the sea level.
If a gentleman were to tell us that
while walking down Piccadilly he had
heard an explosion which had taken
place at Guildford or any town situated
some 30 miles away we should probably
think that he was under a misapprehen-
sion. But if he told US that he hal
heard one that occurred at Newcastle
on-Tyne, at distance of 300 miles, we
should have no doubtEas to the condi-
ton of his mind. 1t is. nevertheless, a
fact that the explosion Of krakatoa was
heard not only 30 and 300 miles away,

Rubber b..a For He.arch,

Departmental headaches are q dis
tnct malady," remarked a we'll known
physician to a reporter. "and tits some
what of surprise how many sufferers
there are among department clerks
from this trouble. The thing seems to
grow among them. and they have their
headaches as regularly as they have
their work
A simple remedy which is worth try
ing is to put rubber band around the
head just above the ears. The band
should not be tight enough to stop the
circulation of the blood. The band
known as ths string band is generally
sufficiently heavy for the purpose. 1t
should be applied just as soon as it is
noticed that the headache is setting in
and taken off the moment the pain
ceases. In many cases the rubber band
works nicely, though it affords no re.
lief when the headache is the result Of
stomach troubles or biliousness.
Il find also that a rubber band twist
ed about a toe between the corn and the
foot is handy remedy to stop the pain
from jumping corn. Corns are very
liable to be troublesome when there is
much humidity in the atmosphere The
rubber band seems to temporarily quiet
the nerves in the toe. and in this way
stop the pain. AS in the case of band
around the head, the pressure should not
be tight enough to stop the circulation
of the blood. Washington Star.

The Howell Torpedo.

Commodore John A Howell, who
has just been promoted to the rank of
rear admiral, is the inventor of self
propelling torpedo that differs in sew
eral respects from the Whitehead. The
chief novelty of the American system
relates to the mode of driving the screw
whitehead stored compressed air in
chamber in his torpedo and placed in
an adjoining compartment small en-
gine which should be operated thereby
at the right juncture. Howell employs
a heavy fiywheel, which is put in rapid
revolution, just before the torpedo is
launched, by connecting its projecting
axle with steam engine that is entire
ly independent Of the torpedo The
Howell system has been improved since
1t was first patented in 1871, and it has
been extensively used in the United
States navy.

had him as their preceptor. Among
these was DR.. B. A. Gould, who fro
quently related story of tho astron-
