Electrifcation is likely to become an

tion of climates, with warmth and
cold, moisture and dryness. This is
the view of DR.. Schliep, of Baden
Baden, who fluids that the atmosphere
is usually positively electrified; but
that there are few days in every
month when negative electri6cation
can be observed, and rare occasions
when scarcely any Identification can
he detected. The influence of the
variations on comfort and even health
seems to be marked. Negative electrl-
ication is tiriug positive is exciting,
and stimulates the circulation and the
nervous system. Strong electrifcation
may produce nervous disorders and
even inflammation of respiratory organs
this being too much of good thing.
Negative electrifcation, on the other
hand, brings depression and its attend
ant disorders, aud Is likely to be rea,

bad smells come from the cutters.
The growth of plants and germs is
favored, the soil itself being negatively
electrified at all times.

His Ambition Has Been to See the North

General Wheeler's attention having
been called few days ago to a sug'
gestion of himself as vice presden'
tial candidate, he made the following
statement
II do not think that my name has
ever been mentioned in that cOnnec'
ton except as very many other gen
temen have been referred TO, simply in
the way of personal compliment. l
have appreciated these fattering allu.
sions to myself; but never regarded
them as at all serious or other than the
kind expressions of partial friends.
"The greatest ambition of my life
has already been realized. I have
seen those who were once Confederate
soldiers fight under the Stars and
Stripes against foreign foes, as soldiers
of the United States. / have seen the
masses of the people of all the south
eru states eagerly and earnestly offer
their services to fight in the country's
cause, aud have seen them thus be-
come participants in the events which
suddenly made ours the leading among
the great powers of the world, and
opened avenues which enables US to
establish the most favorable CONNER
mercial relations with countries con-
tanning nearly one-third the earth's
population.
81 have seen the cordial relations
which existed during the first 70 years
of government firmly re established
between the people of all sections OF
our common country, and in all this l
believe see the dawn of new pros
pelity, in which the southern states
will he the largest bene6ciaries. The
realization of conditions 80 advantageous
to our whole country fills the measure
of my desires and beyond that have

He stood up and held out his hand.
She made no response. Her hot cheeks
were buried In the cushions Of the
sofa. Only the coil Of her golden hair
was turned toward him. He left her
so. he thought of her tenderly as the
flying landscape shot past the window
of the car that was bearing him away
from her.
Now that she had done all In her
power to obey her fathers command
she would feel at liberty to recall the
man she loved. All, well! That was
lust as 1t should be, but she would
never know what it had cost him to
give her up a second time.

PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE.
Taylor Says the Insinustions Against Him

Taylor Says the destinations Against Him
Are Vile.
A Cincinnati dispatch says that Gov
ernor Taylor gave out the following
signed statement last Friday:
"For weeks have been made the
target of villi6cation by certain un-
ppincipled newspapers in Kentucky.
The vilest accusations have been made
and the most outrageous falsehoods
have been told. When I was called
to attend the funeral off beloved BROTH
er, it was seized upon as an attempt
on my part TO- fly from justice. Again,
when called to my home by reason of
the death of dear sister, the foun-
tains of abuse were opened and food
of falsehood and SANDER poured upon
me, the charge again being made that
I was attempting to fly from the state.
On my return to Frankfort those pa
pers FASTENED to publish the statement
that I was met at the train and es-
corted to my home by squad of SOL
diers with Gatling gun. There is
not one word of truth in this state
ment; but nevertheless it was pub
lished to harm me. Not content with
this Infamous, ghoulish work, which
with unblushing audacity has followed
me to the graves of my brother and
sister, even the privacy of my family
has been invaded, and because my wife
drew from the bank some money with
which to pay the soldiers, an attempt
was made to impress the people that
she, too, was preparing to fly. Once,
and for all, I desire to say neither dl.
rectly nor indirectly, had | any con-
nection with the assassination of Sen
ator Goebel. I am citizen of this
state, amenable to its laws. Whenever
indicted, if such an outrage should be
committed, shall appear for trial,
conscious of my innocence, and of the
ultimate triumph of right and justice.
The whole purpose of this persecution
has been, and is, to drive me from my
post of duty, and TO punish me for
holding the Office to which have
fairly been elected. Such surrender 1
have not made, nor will make it, un-
less the highest courts of this land ad-
Judge that do So"

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

Officials Opposed Because 1t Detracts From
the Importance OF Their Jobs.
There is a funny situation in the
postoffice department which indicates
lax discipline on the part of our hand
some and eloquent postmaster general,
says a Washington dispatch. 1t has
been discovered that both the second
and the fourth assistant postmasters
general have been fighting the rural
delivery system under the very nose
of their superior in Office, whose idol
it happens to be. We have had such
situations in Washington before, but
seldom 80 conspicuous violation Of
official etiquette and discipline.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shalleberger is fighting the new rural
delivery because il is gradually re-
placing the star route system under
his jurisdiction. Fourth Assistant
Bristow is fighting it because it re-
duces the number Of fourth class post
Offices, of which he has charge, and
both of them have been using their
influence to prevent congress from
making appropriations asked by their
superior officer, the postmaster gen.
eral, and recommended by the presi-
dent.
The second assistant postmaster
general even addressed letters to every
member of congress calling attention
to the extravaganza of the free deliv-
cry, and claimed that the service
could be done by his star route carriers
with less expense. These letters were
brought to the attention of the post
master general, who, in rather en-
phatic reply, knocked out both of his
subordinates.
The popularity of the free delivery
service is clearly demonstrated by the
action of the house committee on post
Offices and postroads in framing the
annual appropriation bill for the post
Office department. In the estimate
submitted to congress 81 800, 900 was
asked for the coming year, and the
committee, which has a reputation for
economy, after careful investigation,
voluntarily increased the item to $1,-
750, 900, and that amount will be sub
mitted to the house.

EVANS TALKS On PENSIONS
Thorough Revision Of Existing Laws
Is Considered Desirable by
Him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Commissioner Of
Pensions Evans was heard today by the
house committee on invalid pensions relative
to pension legislation. In view of recent
hearings of Grand Army delegations and
others interested in pensions the hearing
attracted more than usual interest. Mr..
Evans expressed the belief that the time
had come for a revision of the pension laws.
The two general laws had become Compli-
Gated by so many decisions and construc-
tions that he believed it to be essential to
have n general revision in order to get at
the real meaning of the law and the desires
OF congress toward the pensioners. He had
therefore recommended a commission to re-
wise the pension laws and he believed such
a body could do its work and report to con-
gress by next December.
Mr.. Evans was asked as to charges that
had been made that some special commits
sioners who Investigated widows claims
asked insulting questions of these widows.
The commissioner vigorously denied these
charges. He read from the regulations of
Commissioners Black and Tanner on the
subject of inquiries and his own instruc-
tons to examiners to avoid any indiscre-
tions. In connection with a charge that i'm
proper questions had been asked an aged
widow Mr.. Evans read the report of the
examiner denying the charge and declaring
there was not a word of truth in II.
The commissioner said It was impossible
to frame any law without having had some
special cases arise which might cause diff
iculty.
He was asked why the local medical
boards told pensioners a favorable report
would be made, and yet favorable action did
not follow at the bureau. The commissioner
avpIafpal that tho local hpar1c ara fnrbi1-
den under the rules from making known
their findings. But their members were hu,
man, and naturally swayed to some extent
by local feeling. Moreover, he said that the
law itself caused difficulty by requiring not
only the medical diagnosis, but a general
| estimate or conclusion and these did not
always agree.
Mr.. Evans spoke of the intelligence and
ability of those in charge OF this work, As
to delays in appeal cases. he said about 1000
were passed on last year and of these only
about 300 resulted in a reversal of the orig
inal ruling. Some of the delay had been
caused by the wholesale appealing of cases
on printed blanks. Mr.. Evans expressed his
personal advocacy Of just and liberal pen
sicns. He remarked also that usually there
were ten mistakes against the government
TO one against the applicant, and the latter
was quick to call attention to the mistake
in his case,
There was absolutely no truth. the COM
missioner said, in the charge that Spanish
war claims were being held up, as he had
given special instructions to advance them
The hearing brought out much other de,
tailed Information on the administration o.
pension affairs. At its conclusion the com.
mittee unanimously adopted a vote of thanks
to the commissioner and in acknowledging
this Mr.. Evans said he was always glad t
