town, but was so surprised that he
made No attempt at resistance and fell

When he reached the Porto Rican capi-

Captain General Macias, and condemn

begged that he might die in Spain.
This request, in view of the fact that
he had Won six medals by bravery in
battle, was granted Meanwhile Gen

had been engaged in the campaign petit

TO CURE BY DREAMS.
A Doctors Device For Making the
Patients See Pleasant Visions.

Patients See Pleasant Visions.
An English physician claims to have
discovered new and efficacious cure
for persons afflicted with nervous or
mental maladies. If such persons, he
says, can only procure pleasant dreams,
they will soon regain their health, and
his aim is therefore to furnish them
with delightful dreams.
For this purpose he uses soft leath
er cap, which covers the PATIENTS head
and ears and leaves only the face un-
covered. Beside the ears are placed two
metal plates, which are Joined by a
rubber tube to monograph. The pa
tient rests ON divan in dark room,
and in front of him is sort of magic
lantern, from which are projected at
brief intervals various enjoyable pic
lures. In this way, it is claimed, the
eyes of the sick person are delighted,
while at the same time his ears are
soothed by the vibrations of the phono-
graph.
As result weariness comes upon him
and is soon followed by slumber, and
it is while he is dozing in this manner
that happy dreams are evoked, thanks
TO the phonograph and the stereopticon.
After this light slumber comes deep
sleep, which, we are assured. is always
most beneficial.
Several tests of this kind have been
made with success, and it is said that
not only are tired nerves refreshed by
this method, but that the patients
body also rapidly increases in weight.
That pleasant sounds and sights are
soothing to the serves we have all
known for long time, but that pleas
ant dreams have tendency to make
persons fat will certainly be news
to the general public--Philadelphia
Times.

THEY WE'RE PREFERRED.
Why the Meeting Camc 10 an Abrupe
(lOhe,


Some old-timers who read the story
of Judge G. r. Choate's experience in
expelling the Chinese from Neihart
recall story of the judge when he
lived at Fort Benton in 1882 or 1883.
Fort Benton had just been elevated TO
the dignity OF having city charter
and an election was to be held to vote
on the question of bonds, says the
Great Fails Mont Leader.
When the day of election rolled
around the Judge went up to the polls
and offered to vote, but was chal-
lenged and his vote rejected on the
ground that he owned no property
within the city limits. What made the
affair more calling was the fact that
colored man walked up to the ballot
box just ahead of him and deposited
his vote unquestioned. This was too
much for the Judge, who, although he
was an ardent Republican, hated a
negro like poison and for week he
neglected his work and wandered
around cursing a country where hon
est manhood was denied the right OF
suffrage, while property, when repre-
sented by an ignorant negro, was al
lowed to vote"
His lamentations finally made the
boys a little tired and they according
ly advised him to hire a hall and air
his grievances. He took their advice
in all seriousness and accordingly
rented room and advertised that a
public meeting would be held there on
o certain evening to protest against
the action of the city authorities in
prescribing a property qualification
for voting on any subject. To this
meeting he invited all his friends and
arranged with a well-known young
lawyer, who now occupies promi-
nent position in the state government,
to introduce him to the audience.
When the night for the meeting ar.
rived the hall was crowded with the
principal citizens of the place, many
of them going there for the fun il
promised. And there was fun, but
not of the kind anticipated. Some de-
generate had put red pepper on the
stove and it commenced to get in its
work just about the time the young
lawyer commenced his speech. He
commenced in about this style:
Gentlemen Oker-choo), ! have (ker
choo) the pleasure (ker-choo) of in
Producing to you (ker-choo) the hon
orable (ker-choo ker-choo, ker-choo)
gentlemen (ker-choo), we're pepper
ed by and he made a run off thu
platform and for the door, with thu
tears rolling down his cheeks and th'
audience at his heels.
The meeting came to close alb
ruptly and Judge Choate never deliv
cred his speech in Fort Benton, al
though he did get it off to the boy
at Barker, some time later, as
Fourth of July Grafton.

REV, DR.. SMYTH'S SERMON
pRE4CHED YESTERD4Y MORNING
IN CENTER CHURCH.
Welcomed Back In the Pulpit by His
CongregatiOn-Subje of His Dis
course Was :'Pressimg On"-He Beau"
tiully Portrayed the Apostle Paut's
Example.
Example,.

Rev, DR.. Newman smyth preached a
strong sermon at Center church yes
terday morning, his first since his sum-
mer rest. DR.. Smyth has just returned
from a long vaca ton and was heartily
greeted by the church members. His
text was taken from Philippians ill.,, IA,
Il press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Jesus
Christ"
The preacher first spoke of the exam
pie Of Paul, the apostle, who in his
epistle to the Philippians gave such
beautiful portray of his following Jesus
Christ, and following Him alone In
the epistle to the Philippians, Paul says
that his only aim in life was to at
tain the image which he once saw and
which he knew God had apprehended of
him He forgot all that had passed and
his one great purpose was to follow and
reach the beautiful character which he
saw and which God meant for him to
follow.
The preacher said that our lives and
ambitions should be the same as that OF
Paul and that every one should have
some goal and that goal should be the
Christian goal. He said he once heard
a man on a car say that he had nothing
to live for since his mother died. This,
the preacher said, was admirable in
way and showed great respect for that
greatest gift of God to man, woman;
but that our ambitions should be great
er than that; that we should bear In
mind such gifts as the Bible, the book
of prophecy, and remember that GOD
Himself had prepared the work which
gives the record of the Christian world
from the creation. Paul had clear
conception of what life was and was
continually stretching forward in the
apprehension of Gods picture, and Paul
let nothing hinder him in his one great
purpose.
The preacher said it was the one pur-
pose of some men to win riches and for
tunes; so it was with Paul, whose am
bition was to win righteousness. Paul
began humbly, weak and was often
thrown aside and cast down, but he
knew what Paul was in the Lords APP
prehension and realized that to obtain
this meant nothing but continued press
ing on,
DR.. Smyth said that while Paul for
got everything that took place in the
past in his pressing on, as soldier does
while advancing in battle, we should
not forget the beautiful words of GER
tain passages in the Bible which the
Lord has given us to keep and without
which no goal can be reached.

HEMORRHIGE OF THE BRAIN.


An investigation by Medical Examin-
er White into the cause Of the death Of
| Albert Swords, who died at New Haven
hospital Saturday afternoon after hay
/ ing been sent there from the Grand
avenue police station, showed that he
/ had died of a hemorrhage In the brain
I and not as the result of foul play or
! bruises received from a fall While IN
/ toxicated, as at first supposed. Swords
was found at the corner of Grand ave-
nue. and Franklin street Friday after
noon by Detective Henry j. Donnelly,
who thought that he was intoxicated
Swords acted queerly, his actions being
such as to lead the detective and the Of
ficers at the Grand avenue police sta
ton, where he was taken, that he was
intoxicated He was locked up all Fri
I day night, and Saturday morning when
the prisoners We're being rounded up to
be taken to court it was seen that he
was unconscious and probably i'll, and
he was sent to the New Haven hospi-
tai He remained unconscious at the
hospital until he died shortly before
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The hos
pital physicians thought that he had
died of rupture of a blood vessel in the
brain and as a bad bruise was found
upon his right cheek it was thought
that perhaps he had met with foul play.
This bruise had been noticed at the po-
lice station and was thought to have
been received from a fall While Swords
was intoxicated.
Medical Examiner White was notified
of the case. He ascertained that Swords
had a sister-in-law living in Norwalk,
and that she would take charge of the
remains. Consent having been obtain
ed from her the nearest relative Of the
deceased that could be found, an autop-
sly was performed by DR.. White yester-
day afternoon.
From the autopsy it was ascertained
that there was Clot of blood on the
left side of the brain, but that the
bleeding had not been caused by an ex-
ternal blow and that Swords was not
intoxicated. The indications are that
Swords did not fall in drunken fit, but
that if he fell it was due to the bleeding
in the brain and that instead of being
locked up he should have been sent to
the hospital at once. 1t was an unavoid-
able case such as often happens, fire.
quently happening that man appar-
emily intoxicated is locked up and it
later develops that he is i'll instead Of
drunk.
1t was found also that Swords had
been suffering from a serious disease of
the heart and from kidney trouble,
which probably prepared the way for
the spontaneous hemorrhage of the
brain, The deceased was a member of
Company A, Seventeenth c. ", and was
an inmate of the Soldiers home at Nor
oton He was in New Haven on a leave
of absence. The remains will be taken
to Norwalk,
