Minor Details Are Corrected But the
General Facts Admitted.
Hugene Guard. July 25.)
The Salem Journal is now devoting
To DR.. Paine, superintendent Of the in
sane asylum, couple Of columns Of ed
itorial matter, claiming he is nearly
everything but what he should be.
It's last editorial contains this:
From a meager practice in Eugene
his lPaine's) rise has been rapid. Since
his appointment a. superintendent uf
the insane he has been able TO purchase
sufficient stock ito control one OF the
largest banks in Lane county, that owns
one Of the largest brick blocks in Eu-
gene and only last week bought another
such valuable property"
The Guard, politically, differs with
DR.. Paine, but issopposed 10 one Of our
citizens being libelled. The above clip
ping IL false from the first 10 the last
line. The facts are that Mr. Paine had
one Of the best practices in Eugene, and
was making money and had been, from
the first day he located here. He does
not own stock in the largest bank in
Lane county. However he is a stock
holder in one Of our solid and growing
banks, and was before going to Salem.
He does not own sufficient stock to con-
troll said bank, two gentlemen holding
more stock lie has less than 1900
worth Of stock in the bank. The bank
in question does not own one Of the
largest brick blocks in the city. II owns
two buildings that cost less than Sl3 900
and they are not worth more than the
above nam ID sum.
We make the correction without sug-
gcstion or intimation. II IL due one
neighbOr % another.

European Physicians Obtain Fortunes

Several European physicians have
made fortunes by single operations.
DR.. Thomas Dimsdale, a Hertfordshire
specialist, who was summoned to St.
Petersburg in 1852 to vaccinate EN-
press Catherine H., received 100000
and pension of $500 a year A GER
tain DR.. Butler, who had obtained a
worldwide reputation for his opera
tions in lithotomy, received lakh of
rupees (then worth S50,O0O) from each
of six Indian Rajahs for relieving them
from their pains. The late czar of
Russia paid Prof Zacherine, a noted
specialist of Moscow, $4,000 for two
days attendance. Dir. Gale, of Bristol,
received check for S250,O00 for cur
ing a certain prominent nobleman of a
diseased knee. DR.. Gale Yowski, who
Travelled all the way to Teheran to at
tend the son of the late shah, received
S35, 900 and his expenses. Sir William
Jenner received a baronetcy and $780,
900 for four weeks attendance at the
bedside of the prince of Wales. Sir
Morell Mackenzie received 100000 for

Perhaps the most eXtravagant fee of

age of II, Just on the eve OF the chill
drcn's marriage, the youth OF 13, Tho

according to the irrevocable laws of
her caste, she was doomed to be burn
ed on his funeral pyre on the banks
of the sacred river Jumna. over from
the city OF Benares. AS Lalros had
much to do with what followed. 1t Is
just as well he should tell the story.
II, the son of 4 European father.
was guiding a detachment of the First
Bengal cavalry through the jungles to
Benares. While concealed in the bush
waiting for sunrise we saw the dead
youth carried down to the waters
edge on q bamboo stretcher, and,
judging from the sort of crowd that
had assembled, we concluded that We
were about to witness n suttee. The
body was covered over with n green
silk robe-for he was a high-caste
Brahmin-and placed on 4 pile of res
inous sandalwood logs. Then the
cloth was removed, the bier placed on
the pyrc, with the feet toward the
Jumna, six logs were laid on the body,
and all was ready for the widow.
Led by relative, Rance walked
slowly down the bank to play her
tragic part in the ceremony, covered
with flowing robe of white. Bra
min priest stood at the head of the
body-the scene is before me now as
II It were but yesterday-and he di-
rected the proceedings in the coolest
manner possible. Taking the rod pre-
sented her by the Brahmin in her
right hand, Rance walked three times
around the bier and waved it over
her head. The Brahmin next handed
her a torch, which, though to all ap-
pearance not lighted, contained a
spark of fire within. Very soon the
waving of the torch caught current
and ignited. | could not see the girls
face all this time, but | could see tha.
her form shook like an aspen leaf
"The Brahmin now, amid profound
silence, having ordered her to apply
the torch, Rance advanced toward the
pile with tottering steps. and in mo-
Ramee's time to sacrifice herself, to
perish then and there in the fierce
flames that were already stretching
out their tongues toward her tlmsy
robe.
''She hesitated. she tre!nbled and by
command of the priest two men We're
about to throw her on the blazing
pyre, when the officer commanding
the detachment, young man with
soft heart, ordered his men to charge,
They obeyed the order with alacrity,
and not moment too soon, dispers-
ing the suttce party, which fled to its
boats, leaving Rance fainting on the
river banks. In taking this step the
officer really disobeyed orders. For
tunately we found what we had come
for. We saw that the rebels were
fortifying Benares. AS for Rance, the
Goloners wife took her under her pro-
lection, and she became my Wife"

Famous Laughing Pant OF Arabia.

The seeds of the laughing plant of
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons AS laughing gas. The plant
attains n height Of from two TO four
feet. with woody stems, widespread
ing branches and bright green foliage.
Its fruits are produced in clusters and
are of yellow color. The sccd-pods
are soft any woolly in texture. and
contain two or three black seeds of the
size OF n Brazilian bean. Their flavor
is Il little like opium, and their taste
is sweet; the odor from them produces
sickening sensation and Is slightly
offensive. The seeds, when pulvcrlzcd
and taken in small quantities. have Il
peculiar effect upon man. lie begins

sings, dances and cuts all manner of
fantastic capcrs. Such extravaganza
of gait and manners was never pro-

RULES FOR TRAIN M EN-.
All Railroads Will Now Conform to Ono
system.

The American Railway Association
meeting ut Detroit has just adopted u
standard code OF train rules. This action
has only been reached after several years
OF labor OF special committee Of the
association appointed to deal with this
question. From an operating standpoint
the final adoption OF uniform rules is one
OF the most important results which the
association has ever brought about.
For many years the railways have suf-
fered serious Inconvenience on account of
the different train rules in operation on
various roads. In some instances signals
and rules governing the right OF way OF
trains on one road have been diamctri-
cally opposed to those on another road
In tho same territory. In the case of cnsi-
neers. hremeu and conductors entering
the service OF another company valuable
time has been lost In instruCting them
In the operating rules OF the new road.
More than one accident, too, has resulted
from n new engineer confusing the read
ing OF the signals with that on the road
he has just left.
Uniform standard rules have been in
operation for some time on the majority
OF roads in the United States. and now
that the American hallway Association
has finally approved "A code II VIII prob
bly, be put In effect on the rondS which
so far have maintained their individual
methods.
