A Perplexing Bulletin.

In 1876 the late John Hay, who died
as secretary Of state, and Alvey A.
Adee were serving together in the le-
CATION at Madrid. They were Intense
ly interested in the outcome of the Re
publican national convention and spent
days wondering who would be nomi-
mated. One morning they found this
item in a Madrid newspaper: "Rute-
bart 13. Noyes of America has been
elected president of the republic of the
north"
That was MS near as the Spanish ed
itor could get to the bulletin, "Ruther-
ford B. Hayes has been nominated for
president by the Republican national
and 1t took Adee and
Hay week to figure 1t out.

BacZache.

Pain in the back is one Of the most
common ills affecting the human fam
lily. At the same time II Is one Of
the most-puzllng to trace Its origin and
the most difficult to relieve. Many
acute diseases have this symptom in a
marked degree, such as smallpox, ma
laria, spinal meningitis, Influenza, and
host of others, but In these cases the
cause Is evident and the conditions
soon disappear The backache Of renal
collie, gall stone and simple stomach
ache Is acute and rapidly disappears
when the gravel or gall stone has pass
ed or the collie relieved. 1t is, however,
different with the chronic form, which
so often defies the skill and ingenuity
OF the physician, and exhausts with its
persistent and wrenchlng pain the pa
thence Of the sufferer.
The conditions which produce the
chronic backache are so numerous that
simple list Of them would fill the
space that can be devoted to this ar
ticle, hence only the most prominent
Will be touched upon. The disease may
be In the spine itself, in the spinal
cord, In the muscles or nerves OF the
back, or In the abdominal cavity, but
perhaps the one most commonly respon-
slble, In these classes of cases, is To-
comotor ataxia. This affects the pos
terlor part Of the spinal cord and Is
extremely painful. When of muscular
origin, pain in the back Is known as
lumbago, a rheumatic condition Of the
lumbar muscles
The discovery of the source Of pain
In these local affections of the bone,
muscles and nervous tissue Is not diff
ficult as usual thing, but the problem
Is more difficult when the pain is mere
ly reflex Of some internal disorder.
1t Is often necessary to lnterrogate

CHAPTER XVII.

Shortly before ten o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning, Cassagne and D'Auburon
entered the bureau, where under the d-
rect supervision of the commissary the
records of the department of police are
preserved for future reference. Cassagne
was evidently well known to the officers
of the bureau. In a few minutes such
books and indices as he required were
placed at his disposal.
D'Auburon stood by intently watching
his principal as he turned to the index
page of huge volume. Reaching the
letter &c" he ran his eye rapidly over the
names, which were arranged in the order
of their date of entry. He started in at
the top of the page full of confidence !;
as his finger travelled down the column,
however, his face grew perceptibly longer.
When he reached the bottom, he gave au-
dible expression to his disappointment by
g. exclaiming:
philip Graham either was never un-
der police surveillance at all, or he chang
ed his name when he came to Paris"
As the detective uttered these words,
an idea suddenly occurred to D'Auburon.
Look lnder the name of the woman
In whose charge he was placed. If he
took any other name than his own, what
more natural than he should take hers 2"
That's a good suggestion" said Cas-
sagne. Her name was Marie La Seur,
as recollect it-yes, that was it. Marie
La Seur. I'll trouble you for that u

D'Auburon handed it to him, and the
search commenced afresh. Presently Cas-
sagne exclaimed:

res page 6fty-three; now let me see
w,.ht ii says"
The two men leaned over the book as
they scanned the page before them. Then
they read:
"Philip La Seur placed under police
surveillance by order-of the commissary."
I'VE have him !" exclaimed D'Auburon,
In a tone Of triumph. I'VE have him
now, for certain"
mot too fast, my friend; not too fast.
Let's see what this foot note is"
At the bottom OF the page was written
In red ink:
'4Toulon, seventeen years, forgery"
An expression Of intense disappoint-
ment spread itself over the face of the
detective. D'Auburon, also, understood.
Philip La Seur could have served out
but little more than half his sentence.

Would Increase Standard Bond.

CHICAGO, Jan. I. District At
torney Sims today filed a motion in
the circuit court of appeals to increase
the bond of the Standa ard Oil company
of Indiana from Sc, O00, 900 to 500, 240,
600 to insure the government against
loss by the manipulation of its assets
pending the settlement of the fine inn
posed by Judge Lands.
Attorney Sims charges the agents
of the Standard Oil company with
Justification, concealment and bad
faith. which removes from consider
alton any question of promised leni
ency. He states that to procure
small bond the agents represented
that the compauy's assets were no
to exceed IA few million dollars, wher
