Pittsburg, May 4.-Seven hundred and
eighty-four thousand dollars, instead of
$190,O00 is what Dr. Walter G. Brown
ing, of Philadelphia, will now claim from
the estate Of the late State Senator C.
L. Magee.
He arrived here today, consulted att
torneyS regarding his bill, treated some
Pittsburg patients and departed Tor
Philadelphia in the evening. He will rot
only claim 1874, 600, but will sue for It
if the executors of the estate do not
pay the $190,000 bill he first submitted
His claim, he said, consists OF two things
fees for professional services rendered,
which he says really amount to 100000
and the result of an Investment of $780,
Co., which DIR. Browning says had in
creased to $4S4, 600 on February 1 last
There is no extortion in this at all,
was DR.. Browning's calm reply to
query. Il attended Senator Magee for
twenty one months in all and am only
asking a reasonable compensation. In
fact, I rendered him no bill at a greater
rate than is charged any other. patients
..Four-fifths of the time 1 spent with
Senator Aagee was at night. He slept
in the forenOons, received his friends in
the afternoon, and needed me at night
because then his nervous troubles were
at their worst. Toward the last almost
lived at his rooms at night The worst
trouble was his nervous condition and
paralysis, due to excessive use of OplateS
and morphine under earlier treatment
1T is my practice to regulate fees ac-
cording to the amount of service done.
Ny regular charge is $50 per hour with
in the office. For work outside my office
or at night I charge double rates. That
fact was known to Senator Magee
throughout his illness. Instead of dis
putting my bills he doubled Them
Are the reports of an Investment
made by Senator Magee for you cor
rect?
..They are. others besides me know
of that. I expect my bill to be paid in
full and the investment returned to me
also
What was the total amount? .
"A bout October /, 1890, Senator Nagee
made me a present of $150,O00 declaring
that had aided him so much physically
that he was once more fitted to look
after his own investments. On Febru-
airy 1 last Senator Magee informed me
that they were worth $484, 000."

HER CONQUEST.
[From the Loa An.g.elea TIne.

CFrorn the Los Angeles Times.l
A southern dream out here from Ten
nesse for the winter has made the great
CONQUEST of the season. Yesterday she
received an offer of marriage from the
vegetable Chinaman. It happened on
the back kitchen stairs.
She really took an unfair advantage
of the inexperienced heather. 1t was not
so much her beauty, although she makes
you gasp for breath when. she turns it
all on with an obligata of eyeIashes; al
though when she swoops in as a wedding
guest she makes the bridal party look
like a cheap overflow attraction. It was
because she talked with him about his
business and let him talk about him
self; that is fatal to man Of any color.
A Chinaman in his wild state was
new sensation to her. She used to rush
out to the back door every morning
when she heard him howl ''Vegeblesr'
She asked him where his ranch was
and how early he had to get up and
bow much money he made and whether
he ate rats or not. She made him show
her how to write her name in Chinese.
Poor John. She asked him all the things
that tenderfeet always ask Cinnamon.
Yesterday she got so confidential that
Wong had perfect right to feel encour-
aged.
Say, John" she said, spreading out a
handkerchief on the steps to sit on, are
you married?"
NO" said Wong, with a giggle.
Haven't you got wife in China?"
NO" with another little Chinese gig
gle.
"Well, why don't you go back to Chi
ma and get one?"
Giggle.
When are you going back to Gilman
Il tink go maybe so pretty SOM, said
Wong.
The Tennessee girl made an inconse-
Quential remark.
How you like to go to Gilman" asked
Wong.
Me? Oh, I'd love to go. I think it
would be perfectly fine
Wong kicked the toe of his brogan in
to the flower bed in deep embarrass-
ment. How would you like to go with
me?" he asked
The heart-to-heart talks on the back
steps will never happen any more.

It is difficult to conceive that these de-
generate Moors belong to that same
great race that once were conquerors Of
Spain, and who introduced a higher civ
ilization into that country, who were
liberal-minded and progressive for their
time, and masters Of the fine arts. When
the Moors were expelled from Spain
they found their chief haven in Morocco,
but a strange change has come over the
spirit of their dreams.
The land of the Moor is stagnant. rot

government and its religion. It's only
hope lies in its conquest by some civiliz-
ed power: its gods must be banished, its
idols shattered, else it must die of its
own corruption. Not from that rocky

A New Dairy Product.


Many new industries have been deVeI-
oped in the British Isles at the close OF
the last century. One. Of the most novel
had its birth in the vicinity of Buckin2-
han-namely that of the manufacture
from the milk of creamcries. after the
butter has been extracted. of a substance
known by the highly classical name of
plasmon. This substance takes its name
from the Greek, meaning that which
gives FORM

and this coagulated mass is then kneaded
and dried at a temperature of "a degrees
centigrade under an atmosphere of car
bOnic acid gas. When perfectly free froIa
moisture the plasnon is ground into u
granular powder which is completely
soluble in hot water.
AS to the economic value Of plasmon
there can be no doubt when it is known
that the German government supplies it
in very large quantities to the army and
navy. AS q portable. concentrated nutri-
ent. according to the German government
department for the investigation Of food

that one ounce of this powder is equal in

Two Most Popular Personalities

Taber acted with his usual power and

The gallery frankly Kissed the star

only Langtry who responded to the
shouts, but finally she did permit Taber
to come out with her. Said an irate
Yankee who witnessed the performs
ance:
This is a striking instance of the
tyranny which actor managers practice
when their personal vanity is involved
It illustrates the obstacles that lie in
the path of even the best actors who
are not in a position to control the

Distinctly the two most popular per-
sonalities in London at present are the
American beauties, Alice Nielsen and
Edna May. The former outsings the
latter almost as a slkylark outsings a

and fine figure, together with the pleas
ing attributes of her manner, give her
a place in the public favor quite on a
level with that of Nielsen. So thorough
ly have both Caught on that the the
aters are too small to contain the
crowds that are anxious to hear and

ALICE NIELSEN PLEASED
Alice Nielsen said to correspondent
today; I like immensely the discrimi-
mating habit of the London audience
It realizes worth very promptly and APP
plauds generously On the other hand
it detects flaws quickly and doesn't hes
itate to register its disapproval.
.On my opening night at the Shaftes-
bury theater I was scared almost to
death. Men in the gallery made strange
noises. I didn't know whether they
were pleased with me or whether they
We're manifestfng their disappointment
Later I learned that the confused
sounds emanated from warning fac
lions and from galleryites who disputed
the right of the stalls on a first night
to pass upon the quality of the per-

have lost my fright and have come to
feel perfect confidence in the good will
of my audience -
Edna May exhibited perfect self
possession on the occasion of her reap

particularly kind to her eyer since she
