HoMEoPATHIsTs IN SESSION,
VIII Ask That Surgeons of Their

Richfield Springs, n. V, June 49,
The formal opening of the American
Institute of Homeopathy was attended
here today by about five hundred mem
hers twenty-five of whom were women,
and several hundred visitors. More than
a hundred new members were received.
The reports Of committees were received
and discussed. The report of the inter.
State committee stated that Senator
Dietrich, while Governor of Nebraska,
put three institutions of that State IN
der homeopathic control, and urged con
certed action toward securing equal re-
cognition of the schools Of homeopathy
with the old regular school of medicine
in all State institutions.
There is a good deal of feeling over
the failure Of the United States Govern
ment to- make provision in the army of
homeopathic surgeons, the fact now be-
ing that there is no way in which a
homeopathic army surgeon, who is both
surgeon and physician, could secure hom-
eOpathic remedies to give TO his army
patients, as the Government buys nome
Tie physicians in attendance on the in
stitute here declare that Il certain per-
ceutage of enlisted men ar, homcopath-

that tins would necessitate two army
surgeons at post one homeopathic and
one allopathic.- Surgeon Gen. Stcrnberg

such a movement.

Hereditary Suicidal Manin.

An extraordinary case OF heredi-
tary suicidal mania is reported from
Paris. A skilled artisan In wrought
iron has been found by his wife hang
ing quite dead from the ceiling in
their dining-room. The man left a
letter saying that he was forced to
commit suicide because he had
reached the age Of IS years, at which
his forefathers before him had all
taken their own lives, The police in
quiry has shown that the latter part
of the mans statement is correct.
The suicide mania runs in the fam
lily and irresistibly gains possession
of each member as they attain their
thirty-fifth year. The mans father
and grandfather, and lately his uncle,
all died by their own hand when they
reached that age. Since his last
birthday deceased had been de-
pressed and told his wife and his
friends what was preying on his mind
was the uncomfortable force, which
he was powerless to resist, urging
him to commit suicide during the
year.

HOW TO CARE FOR SHOES.


Shoes form an important part of
| every ladys attire, and the care OF
them, especially among the fashiona-
BILE, is matter of moment. AS much
consideration should be given to the
feet as to any other part of the body;
and every woman should know how 10
care for her shoes. 1t is necessary to
clean. and polish them when muddy
and shabby, but varnish should be used
sparingly, as it ruins the leather
With patent leather shoes a careful
person will use a certain kind Of
cream. The shoe is then polished with
soft flannel rag, which gives 1T a
pretty luster, and it is much better
than varnish.
A splendid dressing for kid and mo-
rocco is plain jet black ink, and is per-
fectly harmless, also the most dura-
BILE Apply the ink, let it dry, and
then rub with dry cloth to take off
the superfluous ink. When this is
done beat the white of an egg thin
(not to a frothD and apply with the
finger.
To clean shoes properly it is neces-
sary TO use trees" made to fit them to
prevent wrinkling the leather If,
however, the shoe is wrinkled, the
wrinkles can be removed by putting
the shoe on a tree and dampening
with wet cloth or sponge and smooth
ing it out with paper cutter or any
kind of bone knife.-New York World

TWO CHILDREN
ALMOST DROWNED
But for Timely Aid Little
Portuguese Would be
Missing.

What might have been a fatal acct
dent was averted yesterday by the
prompt action of Jimmie Fox.
Mr.. Fox was standing in the door of
Harrison's planning mill waiting to see
some one connected with the business
office. AS he was looking up and down
the street, a little Portuguese girl pass
ed by carrying an infant some six or
eight months old. In walking across
a narrow foot-bridge that spans a
stream near the mill she did not wait
until she had reached the end before
stepping off it but when about two
thirds over stepped from the bridge up
on some soft mud. In doing so her foot
slipped and she fell into a pool of water
three or four. feet in depth. In her
struggles she dragged the little one
under with her and in a few moments
both were half choked, to say nothing
of being almost frightened to death.
Mr. Fox ran to their assistance and
soon had them on dry land
Had he not seen them fall into the
water as he did, there is no question
but that they would have been drowned.
The children We're unobserved by any
one else in the planning mill, and the
street was quite deserted at the time
the accident took place.
