It Is All the Republican Lead CTS Can Do To Keep the President Off of
 the Stump.
BRYAN'S BANK GUARANTEE
 STRIKES POPULAR CORD
"Who's a Liar" Has Played an Important Part in Roose-
 veIt's Administration.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 16.-- Mir. Roosevelt is so badly scared at the sweeping campaign that the Dem ocrats are making, that it is all the Republican leaders can do to keep him of the stump. A majority of the Republican leaders hold that if Roosevelt should go on the stump it would indicate the dreadful panic that actually exists among Republi- cans. Their fright and dismay they are trying to keep to themselves, but the public understands quite well how badly frightened they ara

Bank euaranteeinu.

Judge Taft sesms to think or tries to think thatsthe proposition of Mir. Bryan to guarantee the money of depositors is but little short of an archy. Now Mir Taft's plan is for the government 10 establish postal say ings banks. By this means which he proposes, the depositor will take his money to the post office and have it entered in his book like the bank, and the money that the post office r,a- ceives from the depositors will be deposited in the national banks of the country; here is where MT Taft's argument is torn to tatters and rid dled to shreds. After the post office has received this money from the peo- ple, they do not turn one dollar of that money over to the. banks until they have guarantee that every dol lar will be returned to the govern ment. Now if the government de- mands a guarantee before they will deposit their own money in a national bank. why should not the depositor have a guarantee when he deposits his all in the bank? 1t is a well known fact that the different banks that the government designate as de positories in which the government funds are deposited for the benefit of circulation guarantee every dollar of it. Now, why should not the individ- uai as well as the government be guaranteedz
 This all goes 10 show that the Re publicans have no plea to make to the people and that they have been unable to answer any of the Demo cratic arguments.

A NEW ANAESTHETlc.
Stovaine Is Its Name and II Produces
Temporary Paralysis.

Mr.. F. w. Malvin, United States con-
sui at Nottingham, sends to the bu-
reau of manufactures at Washington
some particulars concerning the new
anaesthetic, stovaine. 1t appears that
it produces paralysis of the body be-
low the point of injection and removes
all sensation from the limbs, so that
it has been found possible to ampu-
tate mans leg while the patient re-
tanned consciousness, and could, had
he been allowed to do so, have even
witnessed the operation. The patient
could feel no pain, and after the opera
ton and when sensation returned ex-
perienced nothing but the sense of
bruising, which is one of the sequels
of grave operations. The curious name
of the anaesthetic, "stovaine," is due
to its discoverer, M. Fourneau. M.
Fourneau was anxious to perpetuate
his own name in connection with it,
but as the anaesthetic was of the ma
ture of cocaine and no compound re-
sembling that could be contrived out
of "Fourneau," he translated the name
into its, English equivalent of stove"
and added the necessary termination.

Voice Enerov.

DR.. Marage recently presented be-
fore the Academy Of Medicine at Paris
the results of an investigation of the
amount of work performed by orators
and singers. 1t appears from his ex-
periments that bass voice, in order
to produce the same impression upon
the ears of hearers in a hall, requires
the performance of from II to 1S
times more work than is required for q
barytone or tenor voice. The bass
voice is always at disadvantage with
regard to the amount of work it de-
mands. Thus DR.. Marage finds that
whereas men are always more ia
tigued than women and children by
an equal effort OF the voice, men with
bass voices suffer the most fatigue.
