Bishoh Halls Local Option Letter.
Bishop Hall writes the following
letter in answer to an invitation to
attend the meeting in Rutland called
for the purpose of organizing state
local option league.
Dear Mr.. Clement thank you
for the invitation to the meeting on
the Sth. But am not a republican;
and I doubt if in my position it
would be wise for me to take an
active part in any organization of
the kind proposed, especially if it is
linked with political party. lose
no opportunity Of insisting upon the
folly and mischief of the prohibit
tory law; so that | heartily wish
we'll Of your effort, and shall be
ready to do anything | can in the
same direction.
Will YOU let me add that, If you
desire the cooperation OF earnest
Episcopalians and Roman Catholics,
the invitation to banquet on a Fri
day in Lent is great mistake. At
tenpts to enforce total abstinence
are largely due to the neglect of
reasonable and salutary rules of fast
ing and discipline.
Faithfully yours,
ARTHUR &. a. HALL,
Bishop OF Vermont.

Rome, June H.-In the Chamber of Dep

foreign affairs. made a long speech in
explanation of the governments foreign
policy. He declared that every effort
was being made to render the relations
between Italy and the Latin American
states, whittier most Italian emigrants
went, cordial adding that the Latin states
had brilliant future.
Year by year" he said, the triple
alliance has proved its pacific character.
While not adding to Italys military ex-
penditure. and not preventing cordial
commercial relations with France. as
has been plainly manifested by the dem
onstrations at Toulon."
During the discussion which followed
the foreign minister announced the gov
ernments intention to open commercial
negotiations with the United States and
Russia He denies that there was any
GOODNESS in the RELATE between Great
Britain and Italy, and gave it to be I'M
derstood that Great Britain would assist
Italy In opposing any interference with
Italian interests in the Mediterranean and
that Italy would only renew the triple

Gauges and the bay of Bengal. There
has been long controversy, into the de-
tails of which it is not necessary to en-
ter, as to whether the Irawadi or the
Brahmaputra is the continuation of the
Tsang-Po. Though there has been as yet
no dis tinct evidence, the last expedent of
throwing in marked logs in Tibet having
failed, the general consensus of scientific
opinion is in favor of the Brahmaputra,
and the latest English gazatteer describes
it under this name.

TILLMAN KEEPS THE TABLE.
Bought 1t Cheap at Auction, Where
1t Was Inadvertently Sold.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American.
The bitter controversy between United
States Senators McLaurin and Tillman
of South Carolina calls TO the mind of
Col. Willard Howard. commander of the
Fourth Regiment, Maryland National
Guard, an interesting experience he had
with Senator Tillman not so
very long ago concerning an
antique mahogany table, which
was an heirloom in the Coloners family
When the Colonel discontinued house
keeping. shortly after the death of Mrs
Howard, he stored some of his furniture
in Washington, where he had married
daughter, and where he spent much of
his time.
In the lot there was a mahogany Ia
BILE which the Colonel wished to preserve
because of its age and associations. In
some manner which could not be account
ed for the table got among some house
hold goods that were being auctioned off
at the storage warehouse. Senator Till
man admired it and bought it for $40
Learning of the transaction several days
afterward, Col. Howard endeavored to
get the table back into his own posses
sion. By this time. however, it had been
given Conspicuous place in the Sena-
tors household and was the admiration
of his family and friends.
Col. Howard at once wrote to Senator
Tillman giving him a history of the Ia
BILE, calling attention to the fact that it
was never intended for the auction room,
and requesting that 1t be returned to him
At the same time the Colonel said he
would pay all the charges and send a
check for the amount the Senator had
paid for the valuable piece of furniture.
Almost the very next mail brought to
Col. Howard this crisp reply from the
Senator: Buy me table as good as
the one l have and l will return yours
to you
That settled the table so far as Col.
Howard was concerned Senator IT'LL
man had prize, and he knew it. Col.
Howard also knew that he might travel
from one end of the globe to the other
and possibly never be able to duplicate
that table, which was originally pure hased
abroad for a large sum of money.
COL Howard recently returned to Bal
timore from a protracted business trip
through the South. He said. with rerer-
ence to the McLaurin -Tillman controver-
sy, that his talks with the business men
and merchants of the South impressed
him with the fact that the policies advo-
Gated by Senator McLaurin are in full
accord with public sentiment throughout
the South. "As l understand it," the
Colonel said. ''the South is ready to sup
port men with more progressive ideas
than some of it's representatives have
had in the past. The old war sentiment
is rapidly dying out -

WOODEN LEG CAKEWtALK.
Discussion by Two Gentlemen, Each
With n LigneOus Limb.
From the Denver Republican.

WIN a LIND.
From the Denver Republican.
debate of much moment occurred on
Market street during the small hours of
last Thursday morning. The question
was: ''Can a man with wooden leg do
justice to cake-walk?" Thomas
o'Rourke took the affirmative and Martin
Marchiano the negative. AS each pos
sessed wooden leg many arguments
based on experience were offered.
O'Rourke asserted that the wooden leg
having a rhythmic swing-when attached
to the stump of a man with music in his
soul-kept perfect time with syncopated
music and gave forth a sympathetic click
which those who were given to cake
walking with ordinary legs could not hope
to secure.
Marchiano, on the other hand, insisted
that on numerous occasions az "Con"
Keleher's and BILLY" Roberts he had
tried the cake-walk both fast and slow.
and had been unable to do anything with
it. In fact, he asserted that at one time
he had been thrown bodily from the
music hall because his wooden foot had
inadvertently come down upon the toe Of
his partner in the dance and she had
screamed murder and other things too
numerous and too personal to mention.
y Rourke again insisted that it was due
to Marchiano's harsh and unsympathetic
nature, and offered to show him a few
pirouettes if he would agree to buy the
next drink. The debaters adjourned to
Kelehers dance hall. O'Rourke grace
fully took the center of the floor and to
the strains of Ma Tiger Lily" by the
orchestra, performed several steps to the
wonder and admiration of the crowd, end
ing his performance by standing on his
wooden leg and whirling with the rapid
ity and abandon of a Dervish.
Marchiano was induced to attempt the
same performance and he tried to demon
strate that while the sensational feat of
his friend could be duplicated, there was
nothing artistic about it. He got along
very well until he tried the whirl and
then the fastenings of his leg became
loose hurting him 10 the floor. striking
on his head and still whirling. O'Rourke
laughed heartily, whereupon Marchiano
recovered himself. and, grabbing his
wooden leg dubbed it and attempted to
commit manslaughter. The combatants
were finally separated and turned adrift
in the street. still arguing the merits
of the cake-walk as performed by wood
en-legged man.

From Leslie's Weekly


A French medical journal cites a num-
Der of cases where great and lasting ben
efts were derived, by people suffering
from dyspepsia and abdominal diseases,
from gentle massage treatment of the
abdomen. One case mentioned is that of
a young man aged twenty years, who for
six months had been suffering with his
stomach. In spite of varied treatment
he was gradually growing worse and
locked like one in the last stages of
phthisis. He suffered from constipation
ard insomnia; he was very nervous and
was convinced that he was about to die.
After instituting the abdominal massage
his condition rapidly improved; his abdo-
men, which had resembled that of child
with meningitis, became supple and daily
enlarged. The treatment was not severe
nor very special. His pain disappeared.
and he was able to digest all that was
given to him. The patient gained in six
months about siXty-five pounds, which he
has not lost since that time, now five
years ago.
