he had to work on a close Seized
ule.
In the Morning. after his Wife
had arisen and started the Fire
and put on the Griddle, Mr.. Nor
decai F. Quinsy would arise and
take a few Observations of the
Weather. He was a very able
Prognosticator and one of his fav-
orite Stunts was to get up in the
Morning and do a little Forecast
ing for the benefit of his Wife and
Daughter.
After Breakfast he put on his
Overcoat and wrapped himself up
in a Comforter so as not to catch
Cold and lose the Use of his Voice.
If Mordecai F. Quinsy had lost the
use of his Voice, this Country
would have been in Bad Way.
Mr.. Quinsy knew Druggist who
took Daily Paper and so the first
thing every Morning. he went to
the Drug Store to find out what
Foul Break had been made b.
Congress. After reading the
Paper, he sat by the Stove and
laid out some Work for the Ways
and Means Committee.
After which he went down to the
Station to see Number Six go
through.
After which he went up to the
Post-Office to wait until the Mail
had been distributed. One day IN
1889 Mordecai received a Seed
Catalogue and after that he was
encouraged. While waiting for his
Mail, Mr.. Quinsy said few plain
Words about the Kaiser and stood
up for the Monroe Doctrine.
About IL O'Clock every day Mr..
Quinsy acted as Referee in a Pool
Game and then went over to the
Barber Shop to look at. the Illus
trated Papers containing the Pic
lures of Footlight Favorites and

Shock for the Smokers.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
There are still undeveloped pos
sibilities In electricity. A man in
an apparently moribund condition
was recently taken into the Mel
bourne Hospital, and in order to
revive him an electric shock was
administered. The results were
startling and unexpected A de-
moniac energy was instantaneous
ly infused. He sent the doctor
sprawling on the floor and flung
a couple of assistants out of the
window. Then he proceeded to
wreck the ward, while nurses ran
away shriehng and barricaded
themselves. He had done a hum
dred pounds worth of damage be-
fore the police, who were tele-
phoned for. arrived. Electricity, as
a medical agent, seems to be az
yet imperfectly understood.

LARGE Medical Fees.

From the British Medical Journal.
For two months medical at
tendance ON his daughter, Mr.
Jay Gould paid between 917000
and &18,000. Mr.. Whitney paid
$4,000 for a weeks attendance.
Among other large fees may be
mentioned one of e12,000, which,
it is said, was offered to a late
president of the Royal College of
Physicians of London for visiting
a patient at Cannes. The largest
medical fee of which we can
find record is that said to have
been given to the blind physician,
Dr. Gale, of Bristol, who received
100000 from a wealthy patient
whose knee he had cured by cleo
trio treatment.

latter, be it known, he had bor-

like many other junior clerks, he

The song was going well. There
was a hushed stiffness in the hall,
which, il anything, became more
marked at the third verse.
1t was trifie hard for the young

" ed on all the Issues of
the Day.
Some one had to keep Cases on
the Government and prevent the
whole Outfit from getting out of
Keller, and so the Job fell to Nor
decai F. Quinsy. Mr. Quinsy found
that he could give his Time to
regulating the Washington Game,
because his Wife did Sewing and
his Daughter was an Expert Ste
nographer. Between them they
kept him supplied with good s.
cent Segars and relieved his Mind
of all Business Cares.
He had nothing to worry him
except Affairs of State.
When he tackled a large Inter-
national Problem he could do so
with a keen, active Brain that had
not been tagged out by any cheap
Exertion, such as trying to locate
the Winters Supply of Coal.

the Front of the Dome. Those who
merely caught one Flash of him
and never looked up his Record
and checked off his Pedigree
thought he was about due to break
into the Senate. To tell the cold
and icy Truth, Mordecai could not
have been elected Constable, but
Just the same he knew all about
John Hay's~ncxt Move and some
times he fretted a good deal for
Fear that John would make Mis-

Mr.. Quinsy could sit on Kit of
Mackerel with a Bunch of Keys, a
Barlow Knife, Plug of good eat
ing Tobacco and about 35 cents in
Currency secreted in his Jeans and
he could tell the Treasury Depart
ment just how to manage the next
S100000,000 Issue of Bonds.
One thing that worried Mr..
Quinsy a lot was the possibility
that Teddy would make some seri-
GUS Mistake. He felt more or less
responsible for Teddy, inasmuch
as he had formally nominated him
in front of Pilkins' Hardware
Store as far back as 1889 If he
could have been at Teddy's Elbow
all the time to whisper Advice
there would have been no Chance
for the Administration to get
balled up. But the Trouble was
that Mr. Quinsy was out at Pee
wee Junction and Teddy was up at
Washington and they could not
get together to frame up a Policy.

lar Habits and very Methodical. He

Arbitration.

From the New York Herald.
This is the era of arbitration,
when even governments turn to
1t as the method of avoiding use
less and often disastrous strife
the outcome of which is depend
ent on might. Labor can well af-
ford to uniformly seek arbitra-
tion to adjust its troubles, for 1t
is the one method that places the
opposing forces on an equal foot
ing. And the side that seeks 1t first
as a righteous principle and a
worthy practice Is sure of spe-
cial commentator from the public
at large.

From the Caterer. New York
In Liverpool, England, recent
ly enacted law concerning the
serving of liquor or ieer to intox-
ieated persons is meeting with
marked success. Heretofore an
old ronnder, whether or not I'M
der the influence of drink, could
sandwich himself in a crowd and
in the rush of custom perhaps the
bartender would not notice his
condition. Now, the habitual
drunkard is photographed at po-
lice headquarters and a copy of
his picture is sent to every bar
room in the city, and it must be
posted in a conspicuous place,
where the bartender can readily
refer to it If he is in doubt In
this way Mr. En- e. Briate becomes
gradually ostracized from his
haunts and is taught practical
temperance lesson, as 1t is against
the law to serve him with liquor,
whether or not he Is already I'M
der the influence of It, If this law
were in force in Boston, perhaps
the haymaking Legislators would
allow our hotels to remain open
until midnight.

Remark of the Court in Regard
to Mr.. Schwab.

Trenton, N. J., June 22.-Argument
was commenced in the United States
circuit court before Judge kirkpatrick
in the case of the application of Roland
r. Conklin and others for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the United States
Ship Building company. Each side had
a big array of counsel. Representing
the complainant were r. v. Ilndabury,
Henry w. Coleman and Henry Unit
myer. Counsel for the ship building
company were Charles L. Corbin, At
torney General Robert McCarth and
Charles Deming.
The case was opened by w. NJ. Cole
man reading at length the bill of COM
ready been published. During the read
ing Mr.. Wolman brought out the facts
that Charles NJ. Schwab had received
for the Bethlehem Steel works SIC, ,00O,-
600. made up as follows:
SIC, 1000, 900 preferred stock, 10000, 600
common stock and 100000 collateral
bonds.
Judge. Kirkpatrick asked what the COL
lateral consisted of and was told tina. II
embraced two mortgages, one or the
Bethlehem plant and another on the

He made humorous comment to the
effect that ScbWab was well secured.
When the reading of the bill OF cofE-
plaint was completed, Mr.. Woiman be
gan reading the exhibits in the case
one of which was a statement issued by
the Republic Trust company, containing
very f1attering statement of the com
pany's condition. Mr.. Corbin objected to
this exhibit as not properly before lie

that the statement seemed to favor the
defendant but that as any rate it was

The Washington Post, an independent
newspaper noted for bestowing both
approval or condemnation where they
arc deserved without fear or hope pf
reward. closes an editorial article on thu
subject of postofiice investigation with
the following words:
Mr. Bristow reveals himself to the
country as one responsible official who
deals in neither evasions nor conceal
meuts. He is a man who recognizes
his obligations as a public servant He
has no accomnlice to shield, no friends
protectors. or denendents who need fear
the light 1t is "a great pity. a cause of
universal sorrow and regret. that the
government has so few Bristows in its
scrvica."
The remainder of the article follows:
This long-expected and anxiously
awaited document has at last been
given TO the public. Just why it was
withheld so long we leave to the imagi-

HINES GIVES UP.
Another Druggist Bows to
County Attorney Hungate.

G. NJ. Hines proprietor of the Opera
House drug store. surrendered his per
NIT to sell liquor this afternoon in the
probate court rather than 90 on the
stand and testify in the hearing as TO
the manner in which he conducted his
business.
County Attorney Hungate began the
proceedings in the probate court. Half
a dozen witnesses We're called for the
state. Not one gave any damaging tes-
timony and all denied that they ever
Hines store. That was a surprise to
the prosecution. Mr.. Hungate called
upon Hines to 90 upon the stand and
testify. Hines attorney objected On the
ground that the law gave a man charged
with a crime the right to go upon the
stand or not as he chose. Probate
Judge Hayden held that the criminal
laws had nothing to do with the case
and ordered Hines to take the stand
That was a surprise to Hines. Rather
than testify he surrendered his permit
