City of Mexico, Jan. Much inter.
est is taken in the case of George F.
Topham, railway contractor in prison
at Teziutlan, for killing Two Italians
who were employed by him on the con.

Hand to Death.

Hand to Death.
Milton, N. D.. Jan. 4.-Thomas Bar.
~. middle aged and wealthy farmer
living near this place, came to town and
surrendered himself to the authorities,
saying he had killed Andrew Mellin, his
hired man.
According to the story Barry tells he
discovered that an intimacy existed be.
tween Mellin and his (Barry's) sister.
During the night the girl left the house
and after long search Barry found her
on the prairie badly frozen. Taking her
to neighbours house he returned homs
and found Mellin in the barn. Locking
the door he told him he must die, and
gave him the choice of rope or knife.
Mellin refused either, and Barry then
placed the rope about his neck and pro-
ceeded to hang him. A terrible strug.
gle ensued, and seeing he could not kill
his victim this way, Barry gave him
five minutes to say his prayers. He
knelt to pray, Barry meantime standing
by his side, watching him, watch in
hand. At the end of five minutes he
plunged knife several times into the
neck of the kneeling man, who died al
most instantly.

Death of General Slaughter.

City of Me xico, Jan. 4--Gen. James
E. Slaughter the well known ex- OOnfed-

hospital in this city from pneumonia,
was 81 years old. He was a West Point
graduate and accompanied Gen. Scott
army to this city as lieutenant. During
the civil war he rose to tn, rank of
major general and was appointed from
Alabama. When the war closed he
came TO Mexico with other southern
leaders and remained several years. He
was the first person to make known to
the Mexican government the fraudulent
character of the We'll and LaBra claims
and to him is due more than any other
individual the return of the money to
Mexico by the United States govern
ment, an act which has given the Amer
lean government great prestige here.

Making the Blind See

success in desperate cases by con.
sentative treatment is the lesson often
repeated and yet never quite sufficient
~ learned by any physician or surgeon.
The infinite ingenuity behind the heal
ing processes, the never renowned
struggle toward normality, is an ever
renewed source of wonder. All that is
needed to elicit it is confidence in it,
delay in doing anything radical, watch
fulness to follow up the hints to action
as they begin to show themselves.
We know of q, living and happy pa
tlent who ten years ago had Albumin
rlc retfnitis from long existing Bright's
disease despite what all the textbooks
say as to "two years" in such cases.
Don't do the irrevocable thing until
forced to do it" is the warning that
has saved many organs and lives.
Above all, never proceed With surgery
("the despair Of medicine'') until physi-
ologic and medical methods have been
exhausted.
The Wiener Klinischer Wochenschrift
tells Of the success of Herr Heller, d.
rector of an asylum for the blind, in
educating the remnant Of visual power
retained by "blind" child. There was
only perception of light in a narrowed
field left, but this by education was
made to yield such indications to the
eager mind that after II months of ell.
deavor the boy has very useful vision,
can distinguish colors and forms and
even can read .5
There are possibly thousands Of blind
people who have renowned vision in
stead Of cultivating it to a degree that
would render the blind types useless

Apple Pie Order.

To feel in apple pie order is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
a certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies, which were to last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day Of the week, SO
that Tuesdays pies might not be con-
fused with Thursdays nor those pre-.
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days eaten when house
hold labors were lighter. Aunt Hep
zibah's apple pie order" was known
throughout the entire settlement and
originated the we'll known saying.

The General Went When Police.
I mans Club sPointed the Way.Ss;
Speaking Of nightsticks reminds me
of seeing General Grant in his to my
mind greatest hour, the only time he
was ever beaten, and by a policeman.
4 told his son, Fred Grant, Of it. when
he became a police commissio in the.
snineties, but i do not think he appre-5
6ciated it. He was not cast in his great
fathers mold. The occasion refer to
was after the generals second term in
the presidency. He was staying at the.
Fifth Avenue hotel, when one morning
the Masonic temple was burned. The
ire line vas drawn half way down the.
block toward Fifth avenue, but the POI
lice were much hampered by the crowd
and We're out of patience when l, stand
ing by, saw a man in great ulster
with head buried deep inathe collar, a
cigar sticking straight out, coming
down the street from the hotel. I
recognized him at sight as General
Grant. The policeman who blocked
his way didsnot. He grabbed him by
the collar, swung him about and, hit
ting him resounding Whack across
the back with his club, yelled out:
What's the matter with you? Don't
you see the fire lines? Chase yourself
out of here and be quick about it." ssz
The general never said a word. He
did not stop to argue the matter. He
had run up against sentinel and when
stopped went the other way. That was
all. The man had right to be there;
he had none. was never so much an
admirer of Grant as since that day. 1t
was true greatness. A smaller man
would have made row, stood upon his
dignity and demanded the punishment
of the policeman. AS for him, there
was probably never so badly frighten-
ed policeman when told him whom
he had dubbed. I will warrant he did
not sleep for week, fearing all kinds
OF things. No need of it. Grant prob
ably never gave him thought Jacob
