From that hour to this Tillman has
had nothing to say of NJ. c. Butler.
Wren Tillman icn't shaking his fists
at the Republicans he is Shaping his two
hands together with reports like the crack
of a gun, each crack smothering instead
of emphasizing a yell.
When Tillman wants to speak of Amer
lean despots in the Philippines compelling
poor natives to crawl around between
the legs of their conquerors. he illus
trates by squatting and making motions.
At such times the spectators do not know
whether to laugh Or go out in the open

Tillman has brains. He has some abil-
ity. He is not bad man. He is COM
panionable and many Senators like him
as a private person. He is honest, incor-
ruptible and patriotic according to his
lights. But when he makes a speech he
transforms himself into a sort of hyena.
His facial contortions are painful to look
upon. He appears to be having convul
sions. That he Is not a pretty man is
not his fault. But forensic fervor makes
him look like Cyclopean demon. Wo-
men In the galleries today were seen to
shudder and turn their heads.
No such cut direct was ever admins

Democrats gave the tiger-cat this after

got up. one after another, and fled to the
cloak rooms. Only two Democrats sat in

NEW ADAM AND EVE THEORY.
Rev Adolph Roeder Takes a Severe
lv Practical View of Them.

New York, May 12.-Rev. Adolph Roeder,
pastor OF the New Church (Swedenoorgian) of
Orange, n. j., has taken severely practical
stand on the Adam and Eve question.
He said: -
Adam is simply the Hebrew word for man.
and the word 'chevvan' or Eve is the He
brew word or symbol for life. The story Of
Adam and Eve Is the story Of intellectual
manhood. and OF the creation Of the life forces
which Cod has implanted and ny when he
controls the destiny OF the race.

CHINESE FARMING

HEART STlMULANT.
Cold Applications Superior to Drafts
of Alcohol.

Cold Applications Superior to Drafts
of Alcohol.
There Is deep seated belief amount
ing almost to a superstition that alco-
hol is very important heart stimu-
liant. especially when this organ Is
weak. Winternitz, the great authority
on hydrotherapy in Germany, has
often told us of the very great value
of cold as a heart stimulant or tonic
and that it is far superior to alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method of application as follows:
''The application consists of a COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
rib above, the right border of the
sternum, line falling a half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
rib below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of it. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at
temperature of about 60 degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
dry and should be very lightly covered.
1t is desirable that cooling by slow
evaporation should be encouraged and
be continued for some time"
DR.. Kellogg continues: "In Germany
and France it is the custom to admins
ter alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in cold bath. Some prac-
titioners. as Winternitz, administer but
a very small amount, a single mouthful
of wine, for instance, while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
A few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwisdom of this practice will be ap-
parent on due consideration Of the fol-
lowing facts:
zone purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stimulant
or tonic effect by arousing the vital
energies through excitation of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup
posed to be capable of effecting this
and was used for this purpose in ty-
phoid fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
of the vital forces. At the present
time, however, it is well known, and
with practical unanimity admitted,
that alcohol Is neither a tonic nor a
stimulant. but narcotic; that it de-
presses and does not excite: that it
lessons and does not increase the ac-
tivity of the nerve centers, and that
this is true of small as well as large
doses, as has been shown by the re-
searches of careful Investigators.

WEBSTER AS A DRlNkER.
The Great Orators Deep Potations
before Two Famous Speeches.

The Great Orators Deep POtati0as
Before Two Famous Speeches.
Daniel Webster was invited to Rich
mond in the fifties. He accepted the In
yitation. came TO Richmond and went
TO the Exchange hotel. He was invited
by the state legislature to address
them and the people of Richmond, and
a committee consisting of James Lyons
OF Richmond and Robert e. Scott of
Fauquier. two of the most eminent
lawyers in the state, were sent down to
the hotel to escort him to the capitol
building. They found Mr.. Webster in
state of intoxication in such degree
that Mr.. Lyons said TO Mr.. Scott: This
man can't make Il speech. You must
take his place." Mr. Scott replied. No
man can take the place of Daniel Web
ster."
After delay, during which Mr.. Web
ster improved a little, he was asked II
he would go to the capitol. He replied,
Yes" With great difficulty Messrs
Scott and Lyons supported and helped
him to the capitol When they reached
the rotunda near the Washington stat
ne, Mr.. Lyons said, "Mr. Webster, do
you think you can speakY IF you will
give me drink of brandy, yes"
a messenger was sent to neighbor-
ing hotel and n bottle of brandy
brought. Mr.. Webster poured out sue
cessively two goblets full and drank
them off. Strengthened himself up,
shook himself as a lion might have
done, walked steadily and directly to
the position from which he spoke, on
the south porch of the capitol, and In
the presence of an audience of 5000
people, which consisted of the intellec-
tuality and beauty of Richmond. male
and female, made his celebrated Octo-
Der speech, one of the greatest even OF
his life.
Edward Everett related that on the
day Webster replied to Hayne of South
Carolina he walked with him to the
capitol; that he seemed so badly pre-
pared that he doubted him and feared
that he was net equal to the occasion;
that Just before he rose to speak he
drank goblet of brandy and then
made his great speech in reply to
Hayne, which is an English classic.
Such was the effect of the beverage on
ebster-Beverages.
