Diinlel's Visit lo Culm. A special from Washington says:' "There Is a good deal of speculation ns to the object of Senator Daniel's visit to Cuba Just nt the time of the turning over of the government by the Spaniards to the Americans. Some thought It was to familiarize himself with the conditions there, and particu? larly to ascertain the capacity of the Cubans for self government: others said it was to post himself thoroughly before voting on the treaty of peace, nnd still others had altogether dif? ferent explanations of the object of the Senator's trip. They wore nearly nil at son. Senator Daniel wont down during the holidays on a visit to his son, 1.ion tenant John W. Daniel, Jr., of the regular army, who is now on duty in Havana. He is looked for at home In a few days. An Awfni mistake. Winchester, Va., Jan. 5.?Stewart Yeakley and Mortimer Buncutter, both prominent young f Armors, restuing near here, accidentally drank nearly all the contents of a half pint bottle of muri? atic acid late last evening and are now thought Ho be dying. The men had purchased the poison this morning at a local drug-store to treat a sick horse^ and afterwards began drinking It. When they started for home both were in an Intoxicated condition. On the road Yeakey offered Buncutter the bottle of muriatic, thinking it was whisky. The latter took a deep draugl and fell unconscious. His companion, thinking him merely intoxicated, drain? ed the bottle. Assistance was summoned, but the men are believed to be hopelessly lost. ONE OF SAM JONES' STORIES. [Atlanta Journal.] "Before you go to dinner," Mr. Jones continued, "I want you to hear one of my latest nnd best jokes. You know the Christian Scientists believe that every? thing is true that they think true. An old negro came up to see a friend c? mine, and my friend, who was the negro's employer, said: 'What's the matter?' 'My brother's got tho rheuma? tism,' said the negro, 'and I stayed up all night and nursed him. That Is why 1 am late.' " 'He ain't got rheumatism, Ben,' said the boss, 'just thinks he has.' "The next day the negro didn't show up nt all, but came tho following day. " 'Hello. Ben,' said his boss- Guess your friend thinks he's got the rheu? matism again, don't Ue?' " 'No. boss; he thinKs he's dead. We buried him yesterday.' " HOBSON IS ANNOYED. A special from San Francisco says: "Before his departure Lieutenant' Hob son drove to the park with Mayor Phe lan. and there received a crowd of about 9.000 persons. He made a twenty minutes' speech on the events of the recent war. In the course of his re? marks he deprecated statements In re gord to his kissing of women In differ? ent cities he had visited. " *I have suffered deeply through printed reports of my actions,' he said. ?These reports are untrue. It is a fact that I have kissed in public some of my relntivc-s, and aleo children wie* have offered their rosy faces to me. But I cannot express too strongly my feelings at exaggerated accounts of my actions. I have thought of making a formal statement concerning this mat I tor, but I fear thut even this might be misconstrued.'" TREfliy OF PEACE IK HE SENATE (Concluded from Fifth Page.) tho part of AgoncUlo to communicate with the Department." v A long letter of date July 18, from Consul Wildman, defends Agonclllo as a man who had been systematically blackened. Says he: "According to his own statement, he has been approached by Spain and Germany and has tempting offers from the Catholic Church." April 28 Consul Pratt telegraphed from Singapore: "Aqulnaldo gone, at my Instance, to Hong Kong, to arrange with Dewey co-operation Insurgents Manila." SECRETARY DAY'S INSTRUCTIONS June 20th Secretary Day telegraphed Pratt, among other things: "Avoid any negotiations with Philip? pine insurgents." Pratt reDlied that he had no Inten? tions of negotiating. Says he: "Left that Dewey, who desires Agul naldo come." Secretary D*ay again admonished Pratt to be cautious to create no im? pression that might embarrass the Government and lead to misunder? standing In its future action. July 2d Pratt reported to the de? partment that the Sultan of the Sulu islands was negotiating at Singapore for the annexation of his group to Brit? ish Borneo, which, he said, should be watched. AGUINALDO'S EQUIPMENTS. All of the statements made by Gene? ral Merritt-before the American com? mission at Paris appear In the docu? ment. In substance he said the insur? gents would fight if the attempt whs made to surrender Luzon to Spain; Spain could not reduce the islands un? aided. Asked whether the Insurgents were capable of government, he replied that it would take time; they would have to be educated up to it; Senator Frye asked if the natives would enlist under the American tlag, and if Agul naldo could be given a command. He replied In the afllrmative to both ques? tions. Further, he sold that Major Bell's report showed that the Insurgents had 39.500 stands of amis. Aguinaldo has $300,000 in bank in Hong Kong and $220,000 of public funds in Baccor. Ma? jor Bell expressed the opinion that it the United States should govern the islands for a year Aguinaldo would ha-ve-no-army-lef h GEN. GREENE'S STATEMENT. General Greene's statement is also produced. He said there were 13,000 Spanish prisoners In the Philippines, including 400 officers, with 22,000 arms and 22,000.000 rounds of ammunition. He described Aguinaldo's character, and said that much tact would be required in dealing with him. In his opinion the chieftain did not command the sup? port of a large body of Filipinos, Then it must be remembered that the insur? gents were all Tugalos, only one of the thirty races in the Philippines. At the time he spoke none of the 2,000,000 Visayas, a people of equal abilities, had taken any part. He was asked what chance there would be for native government, to which he replied: "No native government can main? tain itself without the active support of a strong foreign government. It is difficult to see how any foreign gov? ernment can give this protection with? out taking such an active part in the management of affairs as is practically equivalent to Its own name." There is a vast amount of other mat? ter Included In the papers, extrcts from newspapers, long special reports on the mineral nnd other resources of the Isl? ands, historical treaties, statistical statements of values of imports and exports; and, in fact, they comprise an encyclopedia of the Philippine islands. SANITARY DEPARTMENTS. Mayor Collier, of Atlanta, Makes an Able Address. (A Hanta Constitution.) "The average citizen has but little Idea, and I fear less appreciation, of the important werk committed to the sani? tary department. The conditions of health and coiuforl which prevail In our city are accepted by most of us as a matter of course, and but little thought and attention is given to the manifold agencies that conduce if they do not absolutely assure tills very de? sirable condition of affairs. Accustom? ed as they have become to conditions of cleanliness uncqualcd by any city in tho Union, they are in the main Ignor? ant of the almost infinite detail re? quired to maintain it. From personal observation and inquiry and correspon? dence I am pie-pared to iHasen, a.hd t? sustain, the assertion by abundant proof, that this city goes further to maintain a condition, of uniform clean? liness within, its corporate limits than any city in tho United States. IT COSTS MONEY. "To effect this Tesult costs money, but it 1s money well spent. It not only brings heaflth and comfort to our homes, but adds largely to the value of every foot of property in the city. I know of but one way by which the ex? penses of this department can be re? duced, and that la by the erection of two or more central crematories. The long haul made necessary by reason of the remoteness of the present crema? tory largely Increases the expenses of the department by requiring a much larger force to perform the necessary labor. EXPERIMENTAL CREMATORY. Acting upon my own responsibility I have recently prevailed upon certain persons to erect an experimental crem? atory in a convenient place not far re? moved from the center of the city. It Is claimed that this crematory will de? stroy all the garbage of the city at a nominal expense for fuel, and that it can be operated at any place without offense to adjoining neighbors, I have agreed that the city would for the pur? pose of the experiment deliver to the crematory all the garbage required. The construction of this crematory nnd its operation for such lengUi of time as may be necessary to determine its efficiency Is to be at the cost of the parties referred to and without ex? pense to the city. The structure is about completed and will be ready to com? mence operations within a rew days, THIS CLOCK RUNS A YEAR. An Ingenious Device Which Is Almost Perpetual Motion. From the Chicago Chronicle. A Kankakee county, Illinois, man Is the possessor of one of the most won? derful clocks In the country. This clock is as near a perpetual motion ma? chine as any piece of mechanism yet designed. The owner Is not a perpetual motion crank, but Is an exceedingly in? genious jeweler named Peter M. Raven skllde, of Cabery, a hustling town In the southwestern portion of Kankakee county. The clock is the product of many years of study and labor and considerable expense; It keeps accu? rate time and will run for a year with? out the least attention from Its owner. The clock proper is run with a wheel OlxiX inches in oueurofereu??. From tho other surface of the circumference are suspended 120 cups, each one-half inch in diameter, and a third of an inch deep. Each of forty of . these cups, which are successive, contain steel | balls three-eighths of an Inch in diam? eter. Every minute and a half, as this wheel turns by the weight of these balls, one of them falls out of Its cup, rolls down an Inclined plane twenty Inches long. when, by Its own weight. It reunites a broken circuit of electrici? ty and is again elevated by a little car travelling along a steeper inclined plane to the top of the wheel, where it falls Into a cup which stands vertical for a short time. After the car discharges Its cargo it returns to Its original station from Its own weight. From the time one of these balls Is dropped into a cup until it is again dropped into another cup it travels thirty-six Inches. Thus the work done by all the balls 13 equivalent to one ball travelling over a mile a day, 400 miles In one year, and dur? ing the lifetime one person living three I score years the distance around the globe. The electricity used is generated in an ordinary storage battery which docs not require any attention for fully a year. Another clock owned by Mr. Ttavens kllde Is of a similar construction, but considerably smaller. This clock 1 s used to attract attention to the store. A porcelain globe Is placed back of the clock, and at night, green, red and white electric lights reflect their rays alternately on tho face of the clock, the colors being changed each time the ball is discharged from one of the cups on the timepiece. Mr. Ravenskllde has bad many offers to exhibit his clocks, but refuses to do I so, and so far he has not had the mechanism patented. HYPNOTISM FOR DRUNKENNESS. New York Journal. Hypnotism Is now being used In the treatment for the cure of alcoholism. Dr. Rybakow, a German physician, who is a specialist in this line, and who has tried hypnotism on many of his pa? tients, declares that alcoholics are very susceptible to hypnotism, and subject I themselves to the hypnotic influence more readily than many other pa j tients. Tho favorable effect of the | treatment 6hows Itself In the lmprove metit of the subjective symptoms, the disappearance of the depression, of the | apathy, and, finally, In the complete I loss of the thirst for alcohol. Some? times one sitting suffices not only to overcome the desire for the habitual potion, but also to break off an acute attack. By repeating the sittings one may at | times delay the patient's craving; the Intervals, however, vary, depending en? tirely upon Individual characteristics, Complete cure by hypnotism, according to the experience of Doctor Rybakow, Is seldom obtained; rciapses also are | proportionately frequent. However, other physicians report instances of | complete cure by hypnotism. The du? ration of the treatment depends espe? cially upon the degree of degeneration; the milder the generation the more positive and lasting the cure. PERIODS OF PAIN. Menstruation, the balance wheel of woman's life, ia also the bano of exist? ence to many because it means a time of great suffering'. While no woman Is entirely freo from periodical pain, it does not seem to have been na? ture's plan that women otherwise healthy should suffer so severely. Lydia B.
