TOM JOHNSON DEFIES MCLEAN
Declares the Ohio Editor Has Be-
trayed His Party.

A dispatch from Cincinnati last night
says: Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland
created quite a sensation here tonight by
attacking certain elements in his own
party, especially John r. Mclean. indi-
vidually and the proprietor of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and Lewis G. Bernard,
as chairman of the democratic committee of
Hamilton county.
He not only read them out of the party
but challenged them to meet him on the
charges that he made politically against
them.
Mr. Johnson discussed the recent curative
act passed by the Legislature, and de-
nounced both Of the Ohio senators for Sc
curing its passage. He mentioned by name
all the eight democrats in the legislature
who voted with the republicans for the
passage of the curative act for street rail-
roads and charged repeatedly that they got
their price He challenged any of them to
meet him in his tent to be confronted by
that charge.
Hanna, and charged him with forcing the
railway act He wanted Mr.. Hanna to
come into his tent.
Johnson replied that he had frequently
invited Hanna to joint debate in his tent
but that he could not be pulled in with a
four-inch rope. Another voice was hea I'd
to ask if Hanna did not want to be Presi-
dent. Johnson replied: Yes most any-
ply to further inquiries. Johnson said:
Hanna is a good ne!ghbor and a good
citizen, but We never could agree on any
thing. He says l am travelling around in
a circus tent showing as preacher that
am hypocrite and demagogue, but that
Is answer to the candid questions we
have put to him, and are putting to the
people Hanna is a candid man and does
not try to reply to our charges about his
curative street railway act. because he
knows he cannot answer them"
Mayor johnson discussed taxation and
other questions. but reverted several times
to the Enquirer and Mr.. Mclean. He
charged the Enquirer with publishing that
he came to Cincinnati as disbursing
agent. He said he pitched his tent here TO
preach the gospel of reform and cast out
the money changers. He had no doodle
for anybody.
He said he had reserved this speech to
make at Mr.. McLean's home and not at a
distance from his paper and neighbors and
after repeating his charges over and over.
he said:
II not only challenge. but / also defy
MIR. Mclean and his paper"

TEACHING DEAF AND DUMB.
Annual Report Of President Gallaudet
Submitted.

In his annual report to the Secretary of
the Interior Edward NJ Gallaudet, president
of the Columbia Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb shows that there are more than
200 pupils on the rolls. OF this number 1856
are in the collegiate department. represent
ing twenty eight states, the District of
Columbia. Canada and Ireland and sixty
four in the primary department. Three Of
the graduates Of the college We're awarded
the degree of bachelor of science in June
last. and two Of them are now continuing
their technical studies In other institutions
1t is recommended that fund be secured
for the assistance Of such graduates in pur-
suing higher branches of study.
The report says that an akoulalion is
now in use at the institution, and that this
instrument with a graphophone attach
ment, and combining the principles of the
microphone and telephone, enables many
deaf people. who can hear no ordinary
sounds, to enjoy music and to distinguish
between some of the different sounds en-
ployed in speech.
There has not been sufficient time to de-
termine whether those who have only
enough hearing to distinguish few sounds
can be trained to understand words
and sentences, but this year exhaustive eff
forts will be made to settle all doubt on
the subject

adopted by the recent session of Congress
providing for an independent system of
coinage for the Philippines said:
IF the coinage system provided by Con-
gress Is not fit for the islands. and Is not to
be put into operation there, think that the
best way would be to have a law passed by
Congress at the next session providing that
on and after certain day American money
shall be legal tender in the islands. That
might make some confusion at the start.
but 1t would come out all right In the end.
1t is true that all of the American money
shipped to the islands now Is picked up by
the Chinese and taken out Of circulation.
but that is because there Is profit In the
transaction. Were Congress to make
American money legal tender. however. the
opportunity for specializing in the currency
would be removed.
THE money stock of the islands, aside
from what American money there may be
there. Is about $3O,OOO.OO0 Mexican. 1t
would be a comparatively easy matter for
us to replace this with American money.
suppose that we would have to give them a
half-cent piece. They have quarter-cent
pieces there now, but as the rate Of wages
Is rising rapidly, they would probably soon
accustom themselves to having nothing
smaller in value than the half-cent"

OUR TRADE WITH AFRICA.

MRS. ANNIE KINGSLEY DEAD.
She Lived Two Days With Six stitche.
in Her Heart.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Mrs. Annie Kingsley, who was stab
bed in the heart by her husband and upon
whom the almost unprecedented operation
OF stitching up the wound was performed
by DIR. George b. Stewart at Bellevue Hos
pital. died yesterday. Earlier in the day
1t was thought her condition had improved
so much that she would probably recover.
All the doctors in Bellevue expressed the
keenest disappointment. though none Of
them would say just what had caused death
to ensue when 1t did. But they considered
as marvellous the fact that the woman had
lived two and a half days with six stitches
in her heart She seemed strong. under the
circumstances, until 10 o'clock Wednesday
night. when she had her first sinking spell
At o'clock yesterday morning she was
reported to be doing WELL At 10 O'Clock
she collapsed, and three minutes later she
died. Every effort was made to keen her
alive by the use of oxygen and other aids
An autopsy to determine the exact cause
of death will be performed today by DIR.
Higgins of the coroner's office, and will be
witnessed by DR. Stewart anu others

charge of homicide.

Wildcat Attacks Railroad Men.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
construction train on the Montrose and
Tunkhannock road came to a standstill
near Springville, Pa, Monday night owing
to the engine slipping an eccentric. and the
engineer and his fireman got out to repair
damages. AS they were working they
heard terrific yell, and then a wildcat
sprang from the bushes on the engineer,
knocking him down. The fireman hit the
cat on the head with a wrench and 1t quit
the engineer and attacked the fireman.
This gave the former time to draw his re-
volver. and he put a bullet through the
brute's head. killing 1t. 1t weighed forty
pounds. Both men were badly iacerated.

ShOt=Gun
Prescriptions,

We suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say that
many medicines are made up on the
principle of the so-called shotgun
prescriptions" which were formerly
somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun prescrip-
tons was to put into a medicine a
large number of different drugs, each
useful for different purposes, in the
hope that some of them might hit the
case.
The most successful physicians we
know use more direct method. The
medicine we sell over Our own name
and guarantee does the same. This
medicine is called Ninol. 1t is the
best thing we know for rundown
condition, for nerve troubles, for
lung troubles, for weak women, pale
children and old people-in fact, it is
safe, pleasant, reliable tonic and
reconstruction.
1t is not a scattering Shotgun
prescription" but it goes straight to
the mark, and has cured so many
people right here in town that it
gives us confidence to sell it on an
absolute guarantee, as follows: If
you use a bottle and it does not help
you, we'll give you your money back
without a word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it SO boldly if we had not seen it Sue
coed in ninety-eight out of every one
hundred cases.

The Indian bureau has received a dispa tch
from Agent Monteath of the Blackfoot
agency in Montana. reporting that about a
dozen Cree Indians among whom smallpox
was prevalent, had crossed over the line
from Canada to the Blackfoot reservation.
1t added that they had been placed in quar-
antine by the agency authorities and there
was no further danger apprehended. The
agent wired that some wild reports were in
circulation as the result Of the Crees cross
ing the international boundary line, but
that there was no foundation for them. The
stories about trouble being feared are dis
missed here as absurd.
