Ono WAY to OutWit Gould.

When William R. Travers was in the
directorate of the New York Central
railroad Jay Gould was running the
Erie in opposition and his manage
ment of that system betrayed a con-
slant and intimate knowledge of what
was going on in the Centrals star
chamber. Commodore Vanderbilt was
naturally exasperated and one day
after expressing how helpless he found
himself to outwit his rival he turned:
to Travers with the query: "Well,
Billy, how can. we stop Gould from.
getting knowledge of what we are do
ing?" "W-w-w-why," suggested the
genial wit, "w-w~why d-don't YOU

Wounds Healed. BY tho Music of a


Violin.
A man was conveyed to a hospital in
Paris, suffering from an accident
which resulted in a serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all
the various treatments applied to it
failed to effect the desired end. The
man was attacked from time to time
by violent paroxysms, and death ap-
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services of a good violin
player and treated the sufferer to
musical remedy. The patients par
oxysms ceased and from that time the
wound began to heal. The violin play
ing was continued at intervals till re-
covery was assured.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be
done; the patient was calm and re-
signed, but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition in this instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose. The surgeon soon observed
change; the wound assumed a.
healthier appearance, and the process
of healing began and progressed rapid
ly.
1t is an undoubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures, but the Vi
brations must be strictly in accord
ance with the malady or nature of the
wound. Some enthusiasts go so far as
to assert that the character of indi-
viduals can be changed by the constant
application Of the proper vibration.

Photograpling in Colors.

Some photographs in colors, made
direct from nature by a new auto

Identification OF Glass.

The electritication of glass on rub
bling is known to vary with the differ
ent specimens of fur or flannel used.
An experimenter has lately noticed
that smooth rod of soda glass is al
ways positively electrified by gentle
rubbing with a certain piece of fur,
while vigorous rubbing gives a mega
tive charge, and the two kinds of cleo
triication may be produced in differ
ent parts of the same rod and varied
at will. Another observer reports the
same results with sealingwax rubbed
with silk, attributing the varying eff
fects to differences Of temperature.

Climate and Cereals,

To determine whether there exists
a relation between the climate and the
weight of the grains of cereals expert
ments have lately been made on 731
samples of cereals obtained from all
the grain producing countries. The
average weight of 10000 grains of each
sample was determined and the results
arranged in order of the countries Of
provenance. The first six groups
were: Cd Russia, ca United States,
CD Germany, "a Denmark. Sweden
and Norway, (5) England, Holland and
Belgium, (6) France. Spain and Italy.

CASE OF MRS BOTkIN.

Filed In Supreme Court.

Washington. Feb. 11.-When the SILL
preme court of the United States re-
convenes on February "a, a stipulation
will be filed for the dismissal of the
case of Mrs. Cornelia B. Botkin VS..
the State of California and doubtless
the court, acting in accordance with

motion. The plaintiff in this ease
was. in 1898, tried for murder in San
Francisco on the charge of numbering
Mrs. J.. P. Dunning by sending to htr
a box Of poisoned candy. She was
found guilty and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. The case comes to the
supreme court as a writ to the superior
court of the city of San Francisco, a
habeas corpus proceeding in Mrs. Bot
kin's behalf. The appeal was attacked
by the state of California on the
ground that the supreme court is with
out jurisdiction and a motion has been
dismiss the case for this and other
reasons. The our is now in recess
and will not reconvene until February
"a. At that time Representative
Combs Of California will appear for
Mrs. BOtkin's counsel and consent
by stipulation on her behalf that the
case shall be dismissed in order that
proceedings for a new trial may be
instituted in California.

TOWNE FOR CONGRESS-.
Takes Up Permanent Residence II
Strong Democratic District.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Charles A.
Towne, president of the Export Oil
company. is going to give up business
and again engage in politics.
This information m from no less
a source than Mr.. Towne himself.
During his recent visit in Washington
he admitted to his close friends that
he could probably get a nomination
for congress from one of the New
York City districts.
Mr.. Towne has taken a house in
West Eighty-Seventh street. New
York, and joined the democratic club.
He is a close friend of Lewis Nixon,
the new Tammany leader, and is also
on good terms with other Tammany
men.
1t is said that Towne has made con-
siderable money in the oil companies
in which he is interested, but the
Texas Gil speculation is now on the
wane. The Tammany people want a
MAJ of TOwne's bright oratory, and
sparkling qualities, and it will not be
surprising if the former Duluthian
zones to congress as a Tammany dem
ocrat. Former Senator r. F. Peel
grew, who is living in New York and
Washington, says that Towne is the
coming mar in the local democracy of
Greater New York.
