ELY, NEVADA.
Tried to Raise the Dead.


A remarkable attempt was made In
Denmark recently to bring back to life
a man who had died In hospital. The
experiment was measurably successful,
as resuscitation was effected several
hours after the man was pronounced
dead. DIR. Mag, who was in charge,
was unable TO maintain life, however.
The patient had died from typhoid
fever, and DIR. Mag decided to try an
experiment. Respiration had ceased
completely and the body was cold. d.
rect massage of the heart was resorted
to. The chest was cut open directly
over the heart, and through the In
eision the physician passed his hand
and seized the heart. He commenced
n series of cempressions, and in a short
time the heart commenced to work or
its own accord. The action OF the
heart gradually became stronger, but
the man had not commenced to
breathe. Only after the heart had
been acting half an hour did the first
gasp for air come.
The patient was then assisted In
this for about an hour until finally he
was able to breathe quite freely. At
the same time his cheeks began to as
sumo natural color. He lay in this
condition another half hour, but with
out regalnlng consciousness or appear
Ing to feel the effects of the incision.
Then there was reaction and respi-
ration ceased although the heart con-
tinued to act eight hours longer. A
second effort was made to induce heart
action, but without result.

The Verdict.


The Green Bag tells the following
story. The most popular man in a
Western town once got into difficulty
with a disreputable tough who was the
terror of the place and did him up in a
manner highly satisfactory to the en-
tire community. 1t was necessary,
however, to vindlcate the majesty OF
the law, and the offender was brought
up for trial on a charge of assault with
intent to kill. The jury took the case
and were out about two minutes, when
they returned.
Well" said the judge, in an offhand
manner, what have the jury to say?'
May 1t please the court" responded
the foreman. I'VE, the jury, find the
prisoner Is not guilty of hlttin' with in
tent to kill, but simply to paralyze, and
he done It"
The verdict was received with an.
plause and the prisoner was given an
ovation.

The Nearest WAY.

The crooked streets of Boston are a
source of wonder to many visitors. A
Boston daily paper tells of Western
man who was a guest at the Parker
House, and went out for walk.
He had several hours at his disposal,
and wandered about leisurely but aim.
lessly until he was tired with his long
walk. He supposed that he must have
walked over six miles, and dreaded the
long walk back to the hotel Stepping
up to policeman on corner, he asked
to be directed the nearest way to the
Parker House.
well, sir" said the policeman, cour-
teously, you might cut across the street
to the front door, but If | were you, I'd
walk over on the crossing"
He was nearly opposite the hotel.

WHISTLE AWAY.

One day the sigh. dear, and one day the
song:
That is the way, dear. we worry along;
That is the way,
From the winter to May;
But kiss hands to sorrow and whistle
away!
Thick on the highway the dark shadows
throng,
In dust and in daisies we worry along;
That is the way,
Though we weep-though we pray;
But kiss hands to sorrow and whistle
away!
Living or dying, we're one with the sod
Singing or signing, the way must be uod'
That is the way,
From the dark to the day
But kiss hands to sorrow and whistle
away!

The Earth Measured.

After nearly thirty years of constant
effort, and the expenditure Of nearly
100000, scientists have succeeded in
accurately measuring the earth. They
have learned that its diameter through
the equator is 1925 miles; its height
from pole to pole, 1890 miles. The
earth, therefore, is flattened at the
poles, and while this fact has long been
asserted. the actual measurement has
removed the question from the domain
of doubt

NAY JOIN WITH 4. T. AND S. F.
RAILROAD TO BE ON BOARD OF DIREC-
TORS OF WESTERN SYSTEM.

Representatives Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, it is said on good authority, will soon
be elected to membership in the board of d1-
rectors of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway Company. No Atchison securities ap-
pear in the long list of stocks and bonds owned
by the Pennsylvania, but it is understood that
heavy purchases of Atchison stocks. principally
the preferred. have been made of late by inter
ests identified with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
The latter road has long had close traffic rela-
tions with the Burlington, the two companies
Jointly owning and operating the Toledo, Peoria
and Western Railway. which connects the
systems; but, in view of the increasing proba-
bility of the acquisition of the Burlington by the
Northern Pacifc-Cireat Northern interests, the
PENNSYLVANIA. it is said, some time ago began
to make preparations for alliance with another
road touches Kansas City. but does not extend
to st. Louis, which is the western terminus of
the Pennsylvania system the two roads meeting
only in Chicago. 1t is said that there will be
no connection built between the two roads by
extension of the Pennsylvania system westward
of St Louis. and it is not believed that any in
tention exists of obtaining control Of the Atchi-
by purchase of a majority of the !atter's
stock by the Pennsylvania; but it is said to be
possible that traffic arrangement might with
out great difficulty be arranged by which traffic
could be moved from ocean to ocean over the
Pennsylvania and the Atchison with say one Of
the lines Of the ST. Louis and San Francisco as
the connecting link

DELAWARE PATRONAGE.
APPOINTMENT OF A NEW COLLECTOR
AT WILMINGTON MAY HELP TO
BREAK THE SENATORIAL
DEADLOCK.

Washington, April IL (SpeciaD-It can be as
serted on the highest authority that there
is no truth in the persistent reports that
sweeping changes are soon to be made in
the Federal offices in Delaware The Presi-
dent has not countenanced any scheme hav-
ing for its object the turning out of Of
fee Of one set Of factionists to make room for
another. and the incumbents of Federal offices
in Delaware stand exactly the same plane as
Federal officers in other States That is. no
designations have been or will be asked, and no
appointments will be made until vacancies occur
by the expiration OF commissions. A case in
point is that Of the Collector of the Port Of Will
mington. Although this is one of the best Of
fees in the State, it is held by Demo
crat, DR.. w. H Cooper. DR.. Cooper will be per-
mitted to out his full term, and when his
term expires the President will probably select
ex-Congressrnan ]. S. Willis to succeed him.
Mr.. Willis is thoroughly representative of Della
ware Republicanism. made a creditabe record
in Congress, and is about as free of factionalism
any Republican of prominence in the State.
Whether the President will make this appoint
,nent before he leaves Washington for his West
ern trip is point not yet decided though that
Mr.. Willis will get the office there is scarcely
any doubt. Mr. Willis served orly one term in
Congress. and a member of the LIVth
House While he has always been active in poll
tics he has never been an otficeseeker and since
his retirement from Congress he has been living
his fruit farm Milford. 1t is thought
that his appointment will do much to heal the
breach In the party IN Delaware, and that it
may lead TO the solution of the Senatorial prob
lem.
Because of the stubborn deadlock in the legis-
1ature at Dover last winter Delaware is now
wholly unrepresented in the Senate at Washing
ton. Although the Legislature safely Re-
publican on joint ballot, the bitterness between
the Addicks and Dupont factions was so intense
that the election of Senators shown to be
impossible Governor HUM would have found
q N ~ N
session if he had been convinced that the Sena-
rorial deadlock could be broken. and thus two
Republicans could have been sent to the Senate,
but he has been deferred from this by
the threats of the faction leaders TO continue the
tight along the old lines. 1t is thought that the
appointment of Mr.. Willis to succeed DR.. Cooper
& Collector of the Port of Wilmington Will con-
sderably soften the asperitfes of factionalsm
in the State, and that then Governor Hum can
summon the legislature to Dover in full con-
fidence that the Senatorial deadlock will be
broken

known the Patrick will. than under the will Of
1896.
The Surrogate. In granting the postponement: said
that he did so on the ground that Patrick was being
tried on criminal charge OF the gravest kind In
which the issues involved were the those in
the civil suit. This was the ground on which Mr..
Cantwell based his motion
Mr.. Hornblower opposed the motion
Julien T. Davies. who appeared for the other
heirs also asked for the delay served the
interests of his clients He said he appeared the
