completely and the body was cold. Di-
rect massage of the heart was resorted
to- The chest was cut open directly
over the heart, and through the in
cision the physician passed his hand
and seized the heart. He commenced
a series of compressions. and in a short
time the heart commenced TO work of
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

Then there was a reaction and respi-
ration ceased, although the heart con-
tinued TO act eight hours longer. A

Raising the Zee.


In that particular year it happened
that the national political convention
of which we are speaking was held in
some other town than Chicago, and the
place was crowded.
This is how it came to pass that Colo
mel Hankthunder, who went merely as
prominent citizen of the republic and
had not taken the precaution to engage
room beforehand, found himself shut
out of the hotels and compelled to
choose lodgings from a list of eligible
private dwellings.
The woman of the house near the
corner of Fish street and Pota to ave-
nue., the first residence at which he
called, showed him the only room she
had to spare.
THAT suits me, ma'am," he said.
"How much Will it cost me for board
and lodging here for the next four
days?"
We'll" she answered, this is not a
regular boafdiHg house, and I am only
taking boarders because l want to ed
ucate my boy for a lawyer. I shall
have to charge you SO for the four
days"

taking out his pocketbook, you viii
never educate your boy for a lawyer by
giving such an example as that. 1 will

A Missionnry Antidote.

4 great cloud of murky Mersey fog
enveloped Liverpool harbor and the
passengers on the tiny tender could
scarcely see the shape of the great
liner close beside them which was just
weighing anchor for Bombay. On the
quarter deck of the steamship were 90
missionaries OF both sexes bound out
ward on Il mission to convert the heath
en-. They were singing favorite gos-
pei hymn and as the sound of their
voices 1oated across the water one of
the passengers on the tender, manu-
facturer from Birmingham. suddenly
burst into tears.
isn't that a noble. an inspiring. al
most 'arrowing sight?' he exclaimed,
dropping a tear and an at the same
time. "I wouldn't ave missed seeing
them noble creatures going out to meet
their fate in the field of foreign mis-
sions-not for 95 note. l wouldn't"
"Have you any relatives among
them?' asked another passenger sym
pathetically.
"Oh, no; no relatives" walled the
man from birmingham. ''But we are
all brethren in religion, and the sight
of their departure touched me deeply.
1 shall pray night and morning that
their ship may have a safe passa ge." -
But if you're not related to any of
them 1 don't quite see why you're so
anxious" said a flippant young man.

day"
YES" replied the man from Bir-
mingham. assuming a more business
like tone. ''but it isn't every day in the
week that I've got such an interest in

THE FIRST GERMAN PAPER.
Ben Franklin In 1892 Printed the
First Zeftuug In America.


First Zeitung In America.
The first newspaper printed in the
German language in America was the
Philadelphische Zeitung. published by
Benjamin Franklin in the year 1872.
The Pennsylvania Gazette for June
$50, 1882, contains the following am
nouncement:
1.-THE Gazette will come out on Mon
day next and continue to be published
ON Mondays.
-'And on the Saturday following will
be published Philadelphische Zeitung,
or Newspaper in High Dutch. which
will continue to be published on Satur-
days once a fortnight, ready to be de-
livered at Ten a Clock, to Country Sub
scribers. Advertisements are taken in
by the Printer hereof. or by Mr.. Louis
Timothee. Language Master, who trans
lates them
In undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure a liberal
support from the German population of
the province, for whom he had been
doing considerable printing. but in this
he was disappointed, and the publica-
ton of the Zeitung was discontinued
after few numbers had been issued.
The Zeitung was a small sheet of
four pages, 61a by . inches, the text
printed in double columns with Roman
type, and at the bottom of the fourth
page bore the imprint: philadelphia ::

Powerful Yeast.

The veteral editor of the Golden
(Colo.) Transcript, who hates liar as
he hates n delinquent subscriber, and
who uses only the old reliable George
Washington brand of truth in his
business. fathers this strange story:
"a Larimer county farmer lost a
COW in a very queer manner last week.
The animal in rummaging through a
summer kitchen found and swallowed
an old umbrella and a cake of yeast.
The yeast, fermenting in the poor
beasts stomach, raised the umbrella,
and she died in great gony."-Denver

X efuses to Go to the Court Room and the
Judge Comes to Her.

L
| Judge Comes to- Her.
At the police station Mrs. Nation
was formally charged with disturbing
the peace and her name was entered
on the docket. The police judge was
/ at the station. Mrs. Nation refused to
go to his room to see him regarding
| her offense, but insisted that he come
| TO her. which he did. Mrs. Nation
was informed that she would have TO
| report for trial at the police court this
morning. and was then released on her
| own recognizance She said she would
be glad 10 do so, and then proceeded
| TO hold an ;niprOmptu prayer meet
i ing in the police station. She prayed
| that the work that she had begun in
Topeka might be abundantly prospered.
While she was praying Il drunken
man was brought in by a policeman.
Mrs Nation Immediately went to the
prisoner and informed him that she
was his friend at all times. even
l though the policemen were not. She
then delivered IL scathing address to
Vmembers of the police force present.
She said they would permit the Joints
to run i'll open violation of law all the
while and would then arrest the men
who were made drunk by the liquor
sold there Mrs. Nation tainted the
police. calling them towards afraid TO
arrest anybody but women and drunk
en- men.
Followed by the crowd Mrs, Nation
then went to the federal building,
where she inquired for her mail. She
then mounted the steps of the building
and made an address to the crowd.
She said she would smash all the
joints" of the city. and She would stay
here long enough to accomplish this
purpose if it took Months. She was
not afraid, she said, as she had no rea-
son in the world TO be. There were
many women in the city who would
help her. she said, and they would
do so at the proper time.
Some interesting developments are
looked for today. Mrs. Nation declares
she will enter the joints and smash
them. while the jointists are equally
certain that she viii not.

RAILROAD RATES.

Denver, like every other town, wants
railroads to make low rates to its va
rious festivities, and especially for
carnival week in the fall. Durango
seeks low rates for its race meeting
In May and its fair in September
Grand junction and other sections al
so desire cheap rates, and this brings
us to the point. Railroads are for
the people. They should not make
flesh OF one and fish of another. If
| the Denver IL Rio Grande will make
rate for Durango from Denver of
$lO for the round trip in September.
and othe points similar rates, then we
cannot object to carnival rate of
$40. But the company will not give
Durango or any other place the same
rate. hence 1t is manifestly unfair
that Denver SHOULD enjoy $40 rate
for her blowout. Nearby points
| should be given less than the one way
rate, but long distances this is nc.
feasible. Give us n Sl5O or So rate
from Silverton, and in turn give Sill
Verton the same rate when occasion
warrants There Will be no kick
ing when this is done but as things
have been in the past our people have
a perfect right to kick and the resoll-
ton OF the Board of Trade was time
ly. The Herald believes that the
railroads have lost money every year
they have thus favored Denver. 1t
has congested travel for the time be.
ing and made the running of trains
proftiess for weeks prior to and after
the carnival Every business man
should write the Denver house with
which he is doing business not to de-
mand the rates heretofore given by
the roads. And. in fact. we do no,
believe the Denver e. Rio Grande will
ever again consent to the wishes of
the Denver retail dealers for virtually
free fare in order that they may sell
their cheap goods. The country towns
contribute to Denver the year round
and why we should go out of our way
to do SO every fall is beyond our rea-
soning faculties. And you can mt
1t down that the Denver a. Rio Grande
