a power in the session. He much interested
in the new apportonment for members of Congress

brought in the bill which divided the State into

OF some of the towns to being separated from the
counties to which they belonged, the division OF
the districts having been by counties in each
district. for many years. The result of the agita-

CARRIE
At the Horse
Show.
As Usual, Caused Ex-
element.
Scorched a Few MiIIionaires For
Overdress.

New York, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation created d sensation at the horse
show Thursday She harangued the
great gathering on the evils of over
dress, attempted to break bottle OF
champagne, and finally was elected
from the building by the police.
Mrs. Nation entered the garden
quietly, and took seat in the tier.
She had been there only few min
utes when her gaze rested on the
box where some members of the Van
derbilt family were sitting. She
studied her program. and then de-
scended to the promenade.
Stationing herself in front of the
Vanderbilt box, she delivered TRADE
on overdress. In the box were seated
Mrs. Alfred g. Vanderbilt, Reginald
Vanderbilt, and Miss Nelson. Alfred
G. Vanderbilt was leaning against the
rail of the promenade. and did not
see Mrs. Nation approach.
You ought to be ashamed of your
selves the woman screamed at them.
You ought to be ashamed to wear
such disgraceful clothes. Take them
off. take them off at once and attire
yourselves more modestly."
Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position at the rail and came over to
where Mrs. Nation was standing, and
wiping her forehead with a handker-
chief, he whispered something in her
ear and pushed her away.
The outburst of the woman at
tracted great crowd of people, and
the occupants of the Vanderbilt box
were evidently very much en-
barrassed.
Mrs. Nation then turned her atten-
ton to other boxes. Finally she
started for the cafe where she bore
down on party of men who were
drinking wine. Mrs. Nation seized the
bottle and, glarlng at the men,
shouted:
Young men, don't drink such
filthy stuff. You are going straight
to hell. Where is the man who sells
this stuff! Show him to me and
will tell him what think of him.
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance of
NJ. Villepigue, the caterer at the
garden.
Get ont of this horrible business"
she shouted to him. you are also
going to hell and running the bodies
and souls of men. You are dragging
them down with you. Shame on you,
shame on you"
The Frenchman, however. ran to
Mrs. Nation and rescued the bottle
which she had repeatedly brnndished
In the air to emphasis her remarks.
Then he pushed her out of the door.
Here the police took hold of the Kan
sas reformer and forced her out of the
building.

OF New Guns For
Ohio. Troops.
But It's Said They'll
Come Some Time.
Old Fashioned Springfield Still
the Standby.

The National Guard throughout the
State of Ohio and in many other
states, too, Is still armed with the
old-fashioned Springfield rifle. Al
most ever since the very unfortunate
experiences that some of the volunteer
troops had with the Springfields with
the incidental clouds of smoke in
the Cuban campaign. leaders in mill
tary affairs have been working to
rid the guard of the Springfelds.
The Krag, with which the U. s.
regulars are armed, has been de-
cided upon as the only substitute
worthy of consideration, and some Of
the State troops have already been
provided with the he write.

effective, and, best of all, is used

General Dicks interest in National
Guard affairs led the miliamen in Ohio
to hope that they would be among
the first to receive new guns, but they
have not seen any of them thus fur.
In view of the fact that the season for
target practice among the State troops
is mt hand, the siuatlon is especially
interesting.

'"The wealth of the country has III

possible for individuals to amass in a
few years such enormous fortunes as
they do IN this country today. Having

PATHOLOGICAL DREAMERs.
Tendencies to Fantastic
Exaggerations.

Students of psychological medicine
will be particularly interested in some
recent cases of pathological dreaming
which Prof. A. Dick, of Prague, has
been studying. Psychologists have
long recognized a similarity between
dreams and the deluSions of the insane
or the waking delirium of the opium
eater, says New York exchange.
One case occupying the attention of
Prof. Dick is that of man, aged 43, a
goldsmith. During the ten years of
his married life his wife has noticed
that he often, during the day and
night, spoke to himself, sometimes
softly and sometimes loudly, as though
he imagined himself to be among his
fellow workmen. If spoken to he
ceased at once, but gave no explana-
ton except upon one occasion, when
he said that various thoughts came to
him against his will, which he had to
speak out, although he knew that it
was untrue.
Another case deals with clerk, aged
1s, who manifested peculiar aberra-
tons of conduct in the form of petty
embezzling and theft, and tendency
to fantastic exaggerations. His walk
ing reveries or dreams were sometimes
SO realistic that he could not distin-
guish them from actual facts.

MEANING OF MANUSCRIPT.
Derivation of the Term Used to In
dictate Matter Written by
Hand

The singular and plural forms of
the abbreviated word manuscript"
(MS. and MSS.) are the initials of the
two Latin words manu- scriptum,
whence our word is derived. OF
course, says St. Nicholas, it means,
literally, written by hand. After the
introduction of printing, certain
books were spoken of as codices Cor
libri impressD, printed books, to dis
tinguish them from codices manu-
script. Most of the old and impor-
tant records found in manuscript and
preserved in libraries have been
copied and reproduced in print, SO
that we need not trouble ourselves
to decipher crooked characters or
half-faded writing. 1t is, however,
interesting as well as very curious
to hold in ones hands the parchment
or half-decayed paper on which the
hand of some great scholar, long
since dead, traced the story of his
day, or wrote poem which lives
even now. Would you not like to
own, for instance, the manuscript of
Virgil's Aeneid, or of Dante's "Divine
Comedy" written by their own
hands? You would be very rich
young person if you did; but, OF
course, the real originals of the long
ago writers are very difficult, in fact
impossible, to find. Probably they
do not exist, and certainly if they ex-
list, no one knows where they are.
