CORNS IN COURT. > Novel Cave In an Oregon Court In Which a I.ady Offers to Siiow Her Feet. Spectators in Justice Wood’s court yesterday morning enjoyed an hour of comedy, in which H. D. Carmine and wife and Mrs. Luella Runyon were the principal actors. Carmine was on trial on charges of assaulting Mrs. Runyon and tearing and destroying a cape belonging to her. The complaining witness testified that she was a chiropodist, and that she had contracted with Mrs. Carmine, who is a dressmaker, for some dresses and a cape, agreeing to tender her professional services in return. When the dresses, etc., were completed, Mrs. Runyon called for them, hut found that Mrs. Carmine didn't need her services, but wanted her money. Carmine interfered in the trouble which followed and man aged to tear the cape and get himself mixed up with the justice’s court. When Carmine was placed on the stand and bad told his version of the affair, be was asked if his wife was troubled with corns or bunions. The attorneys for the defense excitedly ob jected to this and had a wordy war with Deputy District Attorney Malarkey, which resulted in a victory for the de fense, the court holding that a husband was not supposed to tell all he knew in regard to his wife. When Mrs. Carmine took the stand, however, the objection no longer held, and she was compelled to admit that she bail a small corn which “never troubled her." In the discussion of corns and bunions which followed Mrs. Runyon demanded that Mrs. Carmine allow the court to examine her feet, and Mrs. Carmine won the day by spirited ly replying that she was willing to do so if the court thought it necessary. Carmine was discharged from cus tody.—Portland Oregonian. THE SINS OF FASHION. A Cincinnati Young Lady Couldn't Take the Sacrament Because of a Tight Veil. A most shocking yet ludicrous thing occurred Sunday morning in one of the leading churches of this city. A beauti ful young woman was the person guilty. She was elegantly attired and wore one of those peculiar veils that tit close ly over the bonnet and face and tie in a sort of baDgmau’s noose under the left ear. After an eloquent and impressive sermon the bread in silver salvers was passed down the aisles by the members of the session. The lrdy who wore the curious veil took a piece of bread and tried to slip the knot at the ear, failing in which she vainly endeavored to put the morsel of bread under the veil into her mouth, but she only drew the loop tighter. She blushed, grew vexed and tossed the typical fragment of bread carelessly into the aisle. The elder turned just in time to observe her, and the plate almost fell from his bands. Several other faces took on a horrified expression and then a smile. The fashionable young woman would i given her hope of heaven to have able to retreat from those glances, hut quick as she was atter the service to reach the door she was*iot soon enough to escape the minister, who reprimand ed her privately on the sins of Casbion. —Cincinnati Tribune. AN ESTATE WITHOUT HEIRS. A Rich South Dakota Cattleman Dies Sud denly Without Making a Will. A Chamberlain (S. D.) special says that the immense herd of cattle brand ed “J. B. S. ” ranging in Lyman coun ty has been levied on by the treasurer •f that county for taxes. The owner of the herd was John B. Smith, who is re- ' ported to have died suddenly in Minne apolis while on a business trip to that city some weeks ago. The Lyman eounty authorities, however, have no proof of his death, and there is no record in the probate court of that county showing that his estate has ever been probated. Parties claiming to have held a mortgage on the stock, but who are now known to be rustlers, have been rnnning the cattle oat of the country without any process of foreclosure, and the county treasurer finally came to the conclusion that it was time for him to act and accordingly levied on the bal ance of the cattle for the taxes doe. Nearly 10,000 cattle were run out of the country. Smith left from $8,009 to $10,000 in Hfe insurance besides the large herd ot cattle in question. It is regarded as very peculiar that his heirs have never attempted to settle the accounts of the deceased cattleman. The Athletic Chaplain of the House. The new chaplain of the house is one of the greatest athletes in the body and would make an admirable sergeant-at arms. Chaplain Bagby is tall, slight and beardless, and he makes the short est prayers that have beeH beard in the house for years. Ho is the youngest man who has been elected chaplain in the lower branch and is only 28 years old now. He is a southerner to his finger tips, but with any amount of real north ern activity. All his life has been Bpeut in the south, except during the few years that he studied theology at Yale. He is a splendid tennis player and wields the racket like a Hovey. His specialty is revival work, and he has had won derful success in awakening religious enthusiasm. But he does not try to con vert the congressmen.—Washington Letter. Demanded Gold For His Cotton. A few days ago Mr. Cole Nall was asked by a big farmer in this county to go out and buy his cotton, which he had not sold for three yean. Mr. Nall went ont, weighed and classified the cotton, which amounted to $14,000. Mr. Nall was about to write a check for that amonnt when the farmer said he would not accept anything but $5 goldpieces. Mr. Nall went to the New South Sav ings bank and got 2,800 $5 goldpieces and carried them to him, whereupon the farmer got ont a jog and coonted them into it for burial purposes.—Barnesville tOa.)

We are now able to present the results of 11 months’ business under the policy of prostration of the free trade party since April 1, 1893, in comparison with the corresponding 11 months begin ning April 1, 1892, us shown by the vol ume of bank clearings reported to Brad street’s. The result is a loss exceeding $12,000,000,000 in the aggregate trade throughout the country as follows: 1893. 1802.

During February it amounted to almost $2,000,000,000, whereas 10 months ago the loss of trade was represented only by an insignificant, comparatively, $100,000,000. This total loss of $12,000, 000,000 in 11 months represents a loss of $170 for every one of 70,000,000 persons. It covers the shrinkage in the buying and selling of goods, the shrinkage in quantity, the shrinkage in values. It represents the great loss to labor through the absence of the manufacture and han dling of goods. It represents the great loss to transportation companies and their employees. It represents the loss to farmers for the products they have sold. But this loss of $12,000,000,000 does not by any means represent the aggregate of loss. It does not represent the shrinkage in the value of real estate, nor the shrink age in the value of stocks and other in vestments, nor the shrinkage in the value of corn, wheat, wool, oats and other crops that farmers have on hand and unsold and which have not yet passed through the ordinary channels of trade. It does not represent the decrease in the value of iron, silver or other mines. It does not represent last year's loss of $312,266, 495 in the value of the live stock on the farms. It does not represent the nonpayment of interest on mortgages, the foreclosures, the anxiety, worry or vexation of spirit to the poor strugglers who have been ruined. It does not represent the agony of those who have been unemployed nor the hard ships of their families, and it does not represent the terrible mortification that has been experienced by many who have been brought face to face with starva tion. These things are incidental to the $12,000,000,000 loss of trade. The men tal suffering cannot be estimated by a money value, although it is a direct con sequence thereof and a direct result of the mere existence of the present free trade administration and its policy of prostration. Surely the United States senate will not permit such conditions to be prolonged.—American Economist. Congress and the Country. Each succeeding week of the present session of congress demonstrates more and more forcibly the utter incompe tence of the majority to regulate itself. Unseemly squabbling, ignorance of man agement, inability to compel a quorum, even when it has so large a majority, lack of leadership, failure to formulate any policy of action, are all so glaringly apparent that it has become an “object lesson” to the people that is equally instructive as the mischievous and de structive free trade Wilson bill. Men are asking everywhere through out the country if this can be the party that is in charge of the national admin istration—a party that with so large a 'ty is unable to govern itself, then can be expected of its na tional administration! Setting aside all questions of free trade or protection, there are thousands of men who voted h> 1892 to elect those who are now in power who are now positively afraid for their country. They reason, and they reason rightly, that if the leaders of this party, which has so large a majority, are unable to af ford protection for itself, into what a de plorable condition must the country fall when left in such hands. These good people forget,Miowever, that the majori ty does not represent a party of protec tion, but that it is against protection and in favor of a policy of prostration. Hence its maladministration in congress is but a natural part of such policy.— American Economist. Waiting: For tlie Lower Doties. On Feb. 1, at the port of New York, there were 1,908,274 pounds of wool cloths, valued at $1,250,029, and 7,822, 829 square yards of woolen dress goods, worth $1,389,077, waiting for the Wilson bill to become law, so as to compete with the product of the American mills and reduce the value of American labor. The fear of free trade in wool caused a decrease of 2,225,586 in the number of sheep in the United States last year and a total loss of $36,723,154 in the value of all our flocks. In this connection it is Interesting to note that on Feb. 1 there were 23,669,914 pounds of foreign wool waiting in bond at New York alone for the remission of the duty so that it can rush in and help to glut the wool market and hasten the ruin of the American farmers. Wrapper tobacco to the extent of 5,080,998 pounds, worth $4,887,118, and 8,291,690 pounds of other leaf tobacco, worth $2,976,934, were lying in bond at New York, Feb. 1, waiting for lower du ties. Nearly 28,660,000 pounds of foreign salt were stored in bond, Feb. 1, at New York alone. When this is admitted free of dnty, it will not be of much use to tue sheep farmers whose stock is being kfQed off by fee free traders. SENATOR MILLS AS A DODGER. He Avoided the Workingmen When They Visited Washington. Many workingmen are hurrying on to Washington. They represent hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens. Some of them are paying their own way. ! Others are having their expenses met by the workmen who send them. These men from first to last are independent. They are Republicans and Democrats. They ask no favor. They are honest, industrious and patriotic Americans. While they seek no favors, they do de mand justice and their rights as citizens of tlio republic. They have been told that the Demo crats are their friends. Democratic or ators have groaned for labor. Demo cratic editors have shrieked fraud and robbery. A Democratic candidate for the presidency has rambled most dismal ly. Workingmen have therefore be lieved that khey would be welcome in Washington. Consequently tney have gone. What have they found? An atmos phere too cold to measure. They are not welcome. On the contrary, they have been put off. put out, avoided and almost evicted. Mills has dodged them. Yet Mills Las aways been their friend! He has almost wept over their wrongs—their wrongs by which they have had regular employment and living wages. They have had houses over their heads and bread and meat on their tables. Their children have had clothing and school ing. Their wives have had bonnets and silk dresses. But Mills wept. At this day, however, when these very workmen have neither employment nor pay, Mills hides himself when they ap proach. He doesn’t want to hear them. Moreover, they are mistaken. They don’t know what is good for them. Things may be hard just now. Times may be dull. But by and by, at some uncertain period in the future, shoes will be cheap er, coats will come down, flour will be almost as cheap as dirt, and salt will be as plenty as snow in the winter time. Prognostications, no matter how beauti ful and inspiring, don’t satisfy a hun gry man’s appetite, nor can they warm a little child that is cold. Thus and therefore Mills keeps well out of the way. He does not want to hear the plea of labor. He does not want to be turned backward to his former groans and promises. He is determined to stand by the Wilson bill. However, he was caught the other day. A com mittee followed until they cornered him. They were men of labor. They had trav eled many miles. Under their arms they carried specimens of their skill and in dustry. They had pieces of American carpet and of American flannels, skeins of American yarn and an assortment of American tablecloths. Likewise they had some facts as to wages. For instance: When they worked before the McKinley law was threatened, their wages were two and a half times greater than were the wages paid for the same kind of work in England. They wanted to show Mills their carpets and yarns and to tell him their facts. But he would neither see nor listen. He hadn’t time. Further than that, he was fixed and unchangeable. He believed in free trade, absolute, unequivocal. The workmen could not be heard. He did not think they ought to be heard. More over, he had no personal desire that they should be heard.—Cleveland Leader. Sad Prophecy Fulfilled. James G. Blaine once used these mem orable words: “I love my country and my countrymen. I am an American, and I rejoice every day of my life that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my oountry and know that the workingmen of this land are the beet paid, the best fed and the best clothed of any laborers •n the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are sur rounded by all the comforts and many •f the luxuries of life. “I shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this will be changed, when the general pros perity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of workingmen in this land who are now so prosperous will hear their wives and children cry for bread; that the day must come when the great factories and manufactories of this land will shut town, and where there is now life and activity there will be the silence of the tomb. And the reason why this must be is this: The great south ern wing of the Democratic party arl de termined to establish the doctrine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. The fight is now on. There is' a great body of vi sionary but educated, men who are em ployed day by day in writing free trade essays and arguments in favor of that doctrine, which find their way into every newspaper in this land. “The great body of our people have never experienced themselves the suffer ings which always result when the pro tective principles are laid aside. Poison ed and excited by the wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the very near future these forces which are now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protection. It must inevitably follow that uncer tainty and doubt will ensue. The busi ness meu of the country, fearing the destruction of the principle of protec tion, will decline to engage in business. Consequently mills will shut down, and the workingmen will be thrown out of employment. “The people will then see, as they have never seen before, that they cannot be prosperous and have work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of their suffering they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood, because they will then see deadly that when the man ufactory is shat down there is no de mand for the only thing which they have to sell, and that is their labor.” A CITY’3 BUSINESS PULSE. How Its Rise and Fall Are Recorded In the Telephone Exchanges. Where ia tho pulse of the city’a busi ness to be felt and watched? On the streets, in tho Stock Exchange, tho board of trade, the hotels, tho street cars or on tho docks? Not at all. Where then? Why, in tbo telephone exchanges. Tbero you will seo the pulse of city life beating more or less feverishly all through the 24 hours of the day. If you are interested in tho subject and get llie right side of tho general manager, ho will show you tho "line of ; life” of the city for a single day laid out on a beautiful chart. It looks liko the profile of a mountain raugocut clem through the middle. The line shows the number of telephone communica tions for each hour of the 24 in the same manner that the daily variations of thermometer and barometer are shown in the newspapers. During the early morning hours it is a gently undulating slope, almost a ta, bleland. At about 6 a. in. it begins to aecend, at 7 the ascent glows sbarper and by 8 the slope is steep, at 9 it is precipitous, and between 11 and 12 it reaches the summit of a lofty peak. The general manager tells you what the line means. In the middle of the night and during tho wee sma’ hours there is little telephone talking. Still every hour there is always some. The newspapers, belated clubmen and ether night owls provide it. Then, as the day Ireaks, the market opens fire, and tho traffic creeps upward. A little later the early birds of business begin to pipe up, and tho traffic steadily grows. Then the rush down town begins in earnest, in a short time every business office is in full swing, the pulseof the city beats at fever heat, and a thousand telephone bells are tinkling every minute. The line jumps np the slope by leaps and bounds, the operators rush in and pull out plugs, turn down levers and press buttons as if tbeir very life depend ed on doing 15 separate things in five seconds, and each one could find work for three pairs of bands and an equal num ber of mouths and ears. Then, at about noon, the top notch of high pressure is reached, and the line drops down the other 6ide of the peak. Men go oat to lancheon, and for a cou pie of hours there is a valley in the mountain range. Everybody does not go out together, though, and even between 13 and 3 there is not a very deep valley. Calls still rain in from all quarters, but there is not the tremendous demand on the telephone that thore was an hour or two ago. By 3 o’clock the line begins to soar upward again, as if trying to outdo its performance of the forenoon. People are back in their offices, and the pulse of the city again approaches fever heat, another peak begins to form, and the summit is reached some time between 3 and 4. Sometimes it overtops the morning peak, sometimes it is not qoito so high, but it always makes another ‘Tush hoar” for the operators. By 4 o’clock people begin to go home, the lino is on its downward course again, and this time it drops down like tho slope of a chuich steeple. Between 5 and 6 the telephone com munications have subsided from several thousands per hour to a few hundred, and the descent is still rapid. The great er part of the operators are relieved from duty, and in the coarse of an hour or two the great switchboard, trom be ing a nervous, palpitating thing of life, incessantly receiving signals and mak ing signs, lazily winks one of its many eyes every few minutes for tho re6t of the evening and night. It never sleeps entirely. In the dead est hour of the night, week day and Sunday, high day and holiday, some body has occasion to use the telephone, and the pulse of the switchboard, the heart of the city’s life, responds at all times to the touch of a oommanicative public.—Boston Globe. Dangers of the Paris Cab. Professor Brouardol relates the two following histories ot accidents that happened on the same day to a cabman and a medical practitioner. The former fell asleep in his heated cab alter hav ing carefully closed the windows. Half an hoar later he was taken oat dead, and post mortem examinations at the morgue revealed carbonic oxide poison ing ae the cause of the castastropbe. On the other hand, the practitioner had re entered bis heated and closed carriage after an absence of an hoar at a consul tation. After a drive of five minutes be was seized with giddiness, nausea and a de gree of muscular loss of power that ren dered the throwing open of the carriage windows a matter of extreme difficulty. He suffered from the effects of this car bonic acid poisoning for 10 farther days. In the course of the discussion that en sued M. Moissan stated that this danger was not limited to the briguettes of pablic vehicles, but extended to nearly all the household heating apparatus. The joints of these apparatuses were mostly composed of glazed earthenware, which under the influence of the heat, soon cracked and allowed the carbonic oxide gas to escape. He said that non fatal accidents were very common, and he knew many people who complained every winter of malaise, which disap peared in summer with the exit of the determining cause—the deadly bri quette of the comfortable (?) Paris heated cab.—-London Lancet. How Sound Travels. In day air at 93 degrees sound travels 1,143 feet per second, or about 775 miles per hour; in water, 4,900 feet per sec ond; in iron, 17,500 feet per second; in copper, 10,378 feet per second, and in wood from 13,000 to 16,000 per eecond.' It has also been proved that the sound of a bell can bo heard 45,’>00 feet through water, and that when the same bell was wrung in the open air it could be heard bat 456 feet.—St. Louis Bo public.

MYSTERIES! The Nervous System the Seat of Life and Mind. Recent Wonderful Discoveries. No mystery lias ever compared with that of human life. It has been the leading subject of professional research and stud v In all ftgen* But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener any Knows that tho seat of llfo la loca ted In tho up l ja r part of the \ spinal cord. I near tho base I of tho brain I and BO sensi tive is t h I r portion of tho nervoua sys tem that even the prick of a needlo will cause instant death. Recent dlscoverlos have demonstrated that all the organs of the body are under tho con trol of tho nervo centers, located In or near the base of tho brain, and that when those are deranged tho organs which they supp.y with nerve fluid are also deranged. When It Is re membered that a serious Injury to tho spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the injured point, because tho nervo force la prevented by tho Injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, It will bo understood how the derangement of the nervo centers will cause thodorangcment of the various organs which they supply with nerve forco. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are duo to tho Imperfect action of tho nervo centers at the base of tho brain, not from a dorango ment primarily originating In tho organ It self. Tho great mistake of physicians lo treating these diseases Is that they treat tho organ rather than the nervo centers which are the cause of tho trouble. Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe cialist.,has profoundly studied this subject Tor over 20years, and has made many important discoveries In connection with It, chief among them being tho facts contained in tho above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment aro wrong. All headache, dizzi ness. dullness, confusion, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, Insanity, epilepsy, HI. Vitus dance, etc., aro nervous diseases no matter how caused.
