The so-called • •Silver’’ party of Nevada
should be captured by some dime museum
man, for it is one of the freaks of the oent
ory. It believes in protection, but will
vote for Free Trader Weaver because he
favors the free coinage of silver. It would
sink national policy for the sake of looal
policy.
Senator Hill’s “mysterious movements’’
are causing the republicans a lot of uneasi
ness. Warner Miller is quoted as likening
Hill to a kind of political trout, ‘‘wbioh lies
In a quiet pool for a few momenta and then
dartt off with the swiftness of lightning
somewhere else.” It Is good generalship, in
any kind of oontest, to keep your opponent
guessing.
The democracy of Georgia Is to be con
gratulated upon the splendid oampaign It is
making. The work being done Is earnest,
thorough and intelligent, and it can have
but one result—the third party will be
buried out of sight under such a democratic
majority as has not been polled In this state
tor years.
Under the present order of things three
kinds of time are in use in thlsoity; the
railroads use Both meridian time, the tele
graph offices 75th meridian (New York)
time and the city sun time. In oonsequenoe
considerable confusion frequently occurs.
The adoption of a standard time would do
away with muoh of the annoyance and
ooufusioiL
Mr. John Sibley, of Oobb county, who
has reoeivad the nomination that Seaborn
Wright wouldn’t have—that is, the Peo
ple’s party nomination for congress from
the Rome dlstriot—rides a bicycle. Thera
la nothing wrong in that; but does Mr.
Sibley have any idea that there is a popu
list in his district who would ride several
miles in an ox cart to a polling place and
then vote for a man who rides anew fan
gled two-wheeled machine that ooal proba
bly more than $100?
‘ ‘Cyclone’’ Davis was an ardent democrat
at the time Mr. Cleveland was elected Presi
dent, and for a while thereafter. So much
a democrat was he that Mr. Cleveland ap
pointed him to the office of Indian agent.
But shortly afterward something happened
that caused his removal “ for cause. ” Then
It was thnt he fell out with Mr. Cleveland
and the Democratic party, and ever since
has been doing all in hit power against both.
If it were not for the records of the third
party leaders they might hope to gain the
confidence of the people after a while, but It
teems that the majority of them are badly
handicapped with records.
A Well Managed Campaign.
The democratic campaign In Georgia is
being conducted with great skill and suocees.
Chairman Atkinson is showing qualities
for leadership that eren those who know
him best ware not aware he possessed. He
has a comprehensive knowledge of the con
dition of affairs In every part of the state.
He knows where the party ie strong and
where it needs assistance, and he knows the
kind of men to send where help Is required.
The result is that there is a remarkably
oonfldent feeling among democrats In about
every county.
When the campaign began there was a
feeling that in many oountles the third
party was very strong. This feeling was
due to a large extent to the faot that the
third partyitea were extremely noisy. They
boasted of their strength and tried to create
the impression that they were going to
carry the state by a big majority. They
actually succeeded in scaring some of the
little office seekers and small fry politicians
into believing that the third party was the
ooming parly in Georgia, and that if they
wanted an offioe the thing for them to do
was to get into the third party band wagon.
Many of those win were stampeded by the
third party brag have since discovered their
mistake, and have crawled back Into the
democratic fold.
The loiut debates have helped the Demo
cratic party because they have afforded the
democratic leaders an opportunity to speak
to that class of third partyites who are
afraid to bear demooratic doctrines ex
plained and the third party demands criti
cised. ilany of this class have been led to
see the impracticability of the third party
demands and understand the benefits that
would result from democratic success.
The good that the present vigorous cam
paign Is doing is seen in the enthusiasm that
is shown by democrats who haveshown very
little activity in politic* for a number of
years. There will be thousands of them at
the polle In Ootober and November who
have heretofore very seldom taken tbe
trouble to vote. They are afraid that tbe
Democratic party is in some danger and
they will be on band on eleotlon day to lend
it a helping hand.
Throughout the state there la now a feel
ing of confidence. There Is no question ae
to which party will be suooesaful. All the
talk Is about the size of the democrats ma
jority, Chairman Atkinson ia going to
have credit for a great viotory.
Peck and His< Statistics.
Altogether too muoh Attention bos been
given to Labor Commlsejoner Peck, of New
York, by the demoofapo national omn
mltte. He has been givey Jest such noto
riety as he desires. If be had been ignored
and statistics had beau obtained from well
known maDufaoturis showing his report to
be lnourreot, a much more satisfactory result
would have been produced than is likely to
be by the oourse that is being pursued.
It seems to be clear that Commissioner
Peck intended to Injure the Democratlo
party in New York with his report If he
bad no such intention he would hardly have
objected to making public the sources from
which he obtained his information with the
view of finding out whether or not the In
formation was correct. It is barely possi
ble that some of the manufacturers who
furnished him information purposely misled
him.
His refusal to give the names of his in
formants shows he has grave doubts about
the correctness of his report. It Is even as
serted that he had all the original records, on
which his report Is based, burned. He will
And it difficult, if not impossible, to explain
why he did that.
Commissioner Peok’s report is one of the
sensations of this oampaign. That
it is utterly worthless as a
source ■of information there does
not appear to be any doubt It Is
pretty certain that there is some mystery
with regard to it In the meantime the
whole country has found oat tbat there is
such a man as Labor Commissioner Peck,
and the commissioner is, therefore, happy.
Need for a Little Sanitary Work.
The kind of sanitary work needed in this
city is the kind that is seldom or Dever done
satisfactorily. There Is little necessity for
sweeping the streets, whitewashing walls
and cutting down weeds. The danger spots
are disease breeding and offensive vaults.
The other day we said there were plenty
of these vaults in the eastern and western
sections of the city. But they are not all
in those seotlons. They ran be found in
the oenter of the oity. If the ordinance
with regard to vaults were enforoed they
would have been connected with sewers
long ago. We do not know whose duty it
is to have the ordinanoe enforoed. It must
be somebody’s duty and it should be en
forced as soon as the weather booomes suffi
ciently cool to permit the soil to be up
turned with safety.
None of these vaults should be tolerated
In those seotlons In whloh there are sewers
that can be easily reached, aDd the pail
•ystem should be adopted for the eastern
and western sections.
If there should be a fsw oases of sioknejs
of an alarming character in the oity there
would be a most urgent demand that the
very things should be done that we now
suggest shall be done, and the health au
thorities would bs criticised for not haying
had them done.
If there are unsanitary places in the city
let the fact be rseognlsed and steps be taken
at onoe to improve the condition of them.
Because the city looks olean it doesn’t fol
low there are not danger spots In It
The arrival at Quebec of a number of
immigrants with through tickets for the
United Btates suggests that some of the
steamship companies, finding It impossible
to land immigrants in ths United States on
account of the quarantine, have attempted
to rush them through by way of Canada and
thus avoid the law. Of late a great deal
ha* been eald about the steamship com
panies 00-operating with ths authorities in
this country to ksep out cholera, but up to
this time nothing of any consequence that
they have voluntarily dons to that end has
been made publlo. They have been forced,
by the twenty days’ quarantine, to quit
bringing immigrants in the steerage; but
even after the Presidents proclamation
was issued it was found necessary to warn
the ships against attempting to bring im
migrants over In their seoond cabins. It
was reported tbat they would thus attempt
to evade the quarantine. On the whole,
with very few exceptions, the transatlantic
steamship authorities have shown very
little regard for the welfare of this ooun
try, and In turn they deserve very little
consideration at the hands of the authori
ties of this country.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1892-TWELVE PAGES.
Kolb and His Grievance.
Capt. Kolb, who ran as an independent
democratic! candidate for governor in Ala
bama, feels that the wrongs that
he says have been heaped upon
him are so great that he cannot
remain a democrat. He has, therefore,
taken himself and bis grievance into the
third party. It was expected he would do
that. His action, therefore, causes no sur
prise. The south-hating Weaver appeals
much more strongly to him than the up
right and thoroughly democratic Cleveland.
Capt Kolb claimed throughout the state
campaign that he was as good a democrat
as bis opponent, Gov. Jones. It is evident
that he was greatly mistaken about bis
democracy. His demooraoy was of a kind
he oouid easily repudiate if he thougb It
was to his interest to do so. Six weeks
after his defeat for governor he is found in
the third party camp.
He was not a democrat from principle, It
seems, but for office. He pretended to be a
democrat as long as he thought he oouid get
au office by doing so. When he was de
feated for governor he had no further use
for the Democratic party.
He says he carried Alabama by 80,000
majority and was counted out. Why
doesn’t be show he had that majority ar.d
that he was counted out? Does he expeot
the oountry to accept his unsupported as
sertion? It is an easy matter for a candi
date to say he was cheated out of an election,
bus few would believe him unless he furn
ished satisfactory proof.
There will be no tears shed in Alabama
over Capt. Kolb’s defection. The Demo
oratio party can spare him. The repub
licans have put out au eleotoral ticket. It
will draw away from the third party all of
the republican support Capt. Kolb had ia
the state election. With three electoral
tickets in the field the democratic ticket Is
certain to be eleo'ed. Gen. Harrison’s agent,
Chris McGee, tried to get the republ cans
to unite with the People’s party in making
an electorial ticket, but he failed.
Capt. Kolb is doomed to another disap
pointment, and the disappointment he will
suffer in November will he about as great
as that which ha suffered in August.
The Herald’s Cholera Correspondent.
The Herald's Paris correspondent has un
dertaken to test the oholera inoculation the
ory of Drt. Pasteur and Haffkine. Soon
after the oholera appeared in Parts he de
termined to find out whether or not there is
any bensflt ia Inoculation, aud be offered
himself to Drs. Pasteur and Haffkiue as a
subject for inooulation. They were glad to
have so Intelligent a person to experiment
upon. They told him that he would be in
no danger, but that he woald suffer some
pain. They particularly requested him to
watoh closely his symptoms from the time
of inooulation until tbe effects of it disap
peared and to make a report of them. This
he did.
The first Inooulation was with au attenu
ated virus aud the second with a much
stronger virus. The subjsot’s sufferings
were not particularly severe after the first
inoculation. After the seoond he had oon
sideratile fever, but the muscular pains were
muoh less than after the first insertion of
the virus. After the seoond inooulation he
had a general feeling of sickness, dry tongue,
nausea, aud symptoms like those of mild
ague.
A good many persons have been inocu
lated with cholera virus, and there is, there
fore, nothing remarkable in what the
Herald correspondent did that is worthy of
Bpecial notice. But there is something
rather remarkable in what he purposes to
do. He left for Hamburg yesterday, and in
that city he intends to drink water from the
Elbe and to bring himself in contact with
thoso suffering from the cholera. He will
expose hunself In every possible way to the
disease, with the view of finding out
whether or not he is cholera proof.
If he does not oontraot ths disease it will
not ueoessarily follow that inoculation is a
preventive of oholera, but there will be
pretty good grounds for thinking it is.
There are thousands of people who are con
stantly exposed to cholera in Hamburg and
other places who do not take the disease.
The Herald's correspondent might not have
taken it even It he had gone to Hamburg
without being inoculated.
But was it necessary for the Herald's
oorrespondeut to go to Hamburg to find
out whether or not there is any benefit in
inooutation! Could he not have found that
out as well in Paris as in Hamburg? There
are plenty of oholera germs in Parle. Dr.
Pasteur is cultivating them all the time.
They are the same kind of germs that are
at Hamburg. If the correspondent bad
swallowed some of them be would have
discovered very quickly whether or not he
is cholera proof. However, it must be ad
mitted that be is displaying a good deal of
courage in Inviting an attack of the disease.
The New York Press regards the aotion
of the health authorities of this city, and of
Detroit, in declaring quarantine against
New York as a “senseless and unjust boy
cott.” “There Is no more danger in dealing
with New York, or in coming to New York
now,” says the fVess, “than there was six
months ago. No oholera is epidemio here.
Every one knows how strict tha quarantine
has been. There is no ‘cholera soare’ in this
city. We trust that sober reflection will
show the officials of Savannah and Detroit
and Chicago, and all other American oities,
tbat a boycott of New York at this time is
not only unnecessary, but positively silly.”
This oity has not “boycotted” New York,
but has taken such measures to keep oholera
out as have been deemed wise and prudent
by the health authorities. And in these
measures the citizens of this city and state
fully concur. Stoamihlps and other vessels
from New York that are able to show a
satisfactory oondition of health are permit
ted to oome up to the oity without any
trouble; but should eny susploious cases of
Illness be found aboard, the vessels might
suffer some detention.
The oholera scare has diverted attention
from the Homestead labor troubles during
the past two weeks, so that the oondition of
affaire there is not generally understood.
It is said that since the beginning of the dit
effeotlon among the new men more than
GOO of them have quit work aud left the
mills, and that now only two mills are at
work, anfi even these with a short supply of
hands. It is further said that fever Is
prevalent in the works, owing to the men
having been quartered in the yards so long,
and that a number of the men have had to
quit work beoause of liokness. These things
have given the strikers new hope, though
the proprietors ere as firm as e -er.
New York haa prepared a crematory for
the purpose and hereafter the bodies of all
oholera victims will be burned. It is grew
some business, but the public safety seems
to demand that bodies be so disposed of.
No oholera germs can survive fliu

CURRENT COMMENT.
Ia He Really “in It!”
From the Cincinnati Times-Star (Rep.).

a single precinct In the state. Unless he does
better elsewhere Hen. Weaver will need affida
vits that he was in the presidential race.
Mourning for What Might Hava Bean.
from the Detroit (Mich.) Free Press {Dem.).
There are thousands of republicans gnashing

fate did not place Brother Blame in a potion

harangue only served to increase the number.
How “Dead” the Force Bill le.
From the San Antonio (Tex.) Express.
It is the claim of republican* that the force
bill issue is dead. It is a case of the Greens
bearing gifts. The force bill Is so dead that,
with the legislative and executive branches in
the grip of the enemy, bayonets at the polls
would be common la every state of the south,

A Dismal Outlook.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.).
The republicans bleme the Australian ballot
system for the reduction of their majority In
Vermont. It did not reduce the democratic
majority iu Ark ausas. so it appears the repub

the case, with what feelings must the g. o. p.
contemplate the possibilities In the thirty state*
yet to vote lu the same way?
“Immigration Must Be Btopped.”
From the A r ei* York Recorder (Rep.).
Immigration must be stopped The safety of
the Hath * i demands immediate and unequivooal
action in this matter. Delay has been already
too long protracted It is through a mistaken
leniency in dealing with immigration that the
dread Asiatic cholera has reached this port, and
it is only by sd effort almost superhuman that
we have kept the plague at bay and are now in
comparative safety. But how long will this
effort avail, how long will this safety be pre
served if the influx of cholera-stricken immi
grants is to be allowed to continue!
Large Money Shipments.
E. H. Platt, tbe agent of the United States
Exprees Company at the treasury department
who has charge of tbe shipment of government

and in conversation about the big gold ship

of $1,000,000 in silver coin.

side is a regular business, and a very profitable
one, too The steamers have large tanks con
struct-d between decks fastened with fiat looks,
wbicu are known as jail lock, and the silver
paced in boxes holding $4,000 each, is stored
away In them. On one trip of the steamer of
which I was parser the trip preceding my first
ex{>erfence in that position—the Chinamen in
the crew crawled along between the decks and
sawed tbe locks off the tank. They got a com
paratlvely small amount—a SI,OOO or so. They
could not have carried more. The loss was not
discovered until the end of the voyage. On my
first trip you may be sure I bad a look into tnat
tank every day to see that no one had tampered
with the boxes.
"When we bandied the sl,ooo.oooshipment we
found that we oouid get only $725,000 of it into
the tack, and the remainder, $276,000, we had
to put up into one of the state rooms. The last
night out I slept !u that state room on top of the
silver with a revolver handy. Of course it was
known among the crew that we were carrying
this large quantity of coin, and although no one
could have carried away a very large sum,
thieves could have stored away a great deal or
the money in odd oorners of the ship with the
idea of taking it away later, and there are so
many odd nooks In a ship that it would have put
us to a great deal of trouble to hunt it out. The
oompany got SIO,OOO for handling that ship
ment. That was the regular rate for handling
coin—l per cent,- -and it dl.l not include insur
ance against loss by fire, collision or wreck.
That probably cost the shipper 1 percent, more.
But the business pays. I have known the time
when I could buy S2O gold for $lB silver in
China.”
A Duel on a Tight Rope.
In Dublin, at ths beginning of this century,
says London rtd Bits, there were two rivals in
the art of rope dancing, a Frenchman named
Perote, and an Italian, Signor Sarfuico, who
after trying in every way to outvie each other,
agreed to perform together in a "danoe of
friendship. * The two men on the rope were in
the full dress of ths period, with lace rufties,
bag-wlii. and swords Signor Sarfuic >in be
ginning seemed to have some difficulty with his
feet, which Perote perceiving, caused him to
make suns remark, which aroused the Italian's
anger, who raised his hand as if to strike; the
same instant Perote's rapier was drawn, and
before the audieuoe oouid comprehend that
they had quarreled. Sarfuico’e sword was out
also, and the two were thrusting at each other
on the tfgnt-rope. Both were good swords
men. but Perote was the better of the two. He
warded off the Italians thrust with his rapier,
till Sarfuico making one desperate lunge, re
ceived a back-stroke, which threw him off' hit
balance, and at the same time attempted to
grapple with his enemy. Down he went, and
down went Perote. and there was the Italian
hanging on the rope by bis feet, and the
Frenchman hanging on to It by both hands,
when the latter, with faoe of triumph, cried:
“Look, ladies and gentlemen, at the Biraps at
tached to his shoe heels end passed over the
rope: There is how he has maJe himself safe,
and dared to pretend he surpassed me. whose
life was spent on the rope, and whose great
grandfather performed before Henry IV." By
this time the spectators had rushed with lad
a .rs and feather beds and got both men safely
down. Sarfuico's exposure, however, pre
vented bjs farther success, and he quickly dis
appeared from the city.
According to the Guide Book.
He stood ’way up on the bow of a Cham
plain steamer, says the New York Tribune. He
had a complexion like a tomato, and he carried
a guide book In one hand, three railroad time
tables and a map in the other, and he was burst
ing with information. Finally, unable to stand
It longer, he approaohed a small man who was
leaning thoughtfully over the rail
"My friend." he eaid impressively, “I sup
pose you know that ttiose gray an J fallen walls
over there on the west shore are all that remain
of world-famous Fort Tloonderoga?”
"I didn’t know It, "said the small man simply.
"Well, sir, they are. It was on that spot that
the English oommander was oalled from his
bed to surrender in the name of Jehovah and
the continental congress It was along these
shores,” added the man with the tomato com
plexion, waving the fluttering time tablos ora
torically, "that the French and Indians fought
the Engl sh. Every stone, sir, is crowded with
history."
“Ticonderoga, hey.” said the other reflect
ively; "do you live up here?”
“No, I live In New York.”
“Born here, perhaps?"
“No, sir.”
"Trave up and down the lake pretty often, I
suppose?"
"woll, no,” reluctantly-admitted the owner
of the guide book, "this is my first trip."
"'Tis, hey? Weill was purser of this boat
for nine years and I know every foot of that
shore The ruin over there ie Bampsun's dock,
and Tloonderoga Is nineteen miles south of
here. Anything else to tell?"
A Good Dog Story.
Dr. Gardner of Sharon Springs, N. Y., is the
owner of several doga—Gordon and Irish set
ters -says the Youth's Companion. A little
while ago four of them disappeared, and were
absent for ix day*. On Sunday they returned
not together, but separately, at intervals of
about ten minutes
The dogs looked half starved, and evidently
expeoted to be punished for their truancy. 1 n
the evening their absence was satisfactorily e\l*
plained. J
One of Dr. Gardner’s hired men, John Hiller,
started for a pond about two miles distant, for
the purpose of gathering pond Irlles. As he
neared the pond be came across three of the
dogs, Nellie, Beauty and Brownie, in the woods
Rix was not in sight.
John presently discovered that the doge had
chased two young coons Into the hollow of an
old tree. Rix had forced himself so tightly into
the tree that he could not release himself The
three other dogs would not desert him in his
trouble, but had remained by him for tlx days.
They had made efforts to release Rix by break
ing the tree. hut to no purpose. They had barked
to call for help, but the neighbors who heard
them paid no attention.
With the aid of a fence rail John Hiller soon
released Rix from his perilous condition. The
coons were dead. Rix would certainly have died
had the other doge deserted him.
A Cure for Cholera.
It has been announced that if you will hang a
large copper cent to your stomach you will have
no cholera, says the Brooklyn Eagle. You need
not hang this to the inside of the stomach; the
outside will do; in fact, you can suspend it by a
string from the neck. This is an old prescrip
tion, revived, and being easy to take it is freely
given here. There is another prescription, how
ever, that was tried in the cholera visitation of
1866 and never failed to wor t a cure, aud that,
too. is so simple that people ought to know it:
Take eighteen hairs from tha uead of a man
born on the island of Malta at the hour of 8:07
o’clock p. m., Oot. 13, 7821, who came to
America In 1858, landing on the East river
side of New York between the hour* of land
3 o'clock p. in on June 11, and who, within
thirty minutes of landing, proceeded to Broad
way and got a drink composed of equal parts of
gin, vermouth and 100 water; who subsequently
went Into politics, became assemblyman for the
Twelfth district and died in 1880. Man must
have been 5 feet 3>4 inches high, have weighed
192 pounds and been named Jones. Unless
these conditions are fulfilled the hair is of no
use Put it into a locket and wear it in the
right tip pocket, and the cholera will never
come nearer then tha next block. This enables
you to spend the cent, too, Instead of oarryiug
it superfluously about your person.

The alleged connection between gypsies and
the nails used in the crucifixion has frequently
been referral to. It is said that the tinkers are
descendants of the one who made the nails for
the cross and are condemned to wander con
tinually without rest This tradition is very
common in the highlands cf Scotland.
The Hon. Arthur Balfour tells this story
sometimes to a chum on the golf-fleld. A neigh
bor of his Mr. Balfour's fattier while young
and poor, found a eauvas bag. curiously
marked, containing *OO guineas, under a hedge
on his farm Being sorely pres*ed for funds,
the finder, who may be called Mr. Andrews,
finally used the money and was so successful In
certain operations la which this capital enabled
him to embark that be became m some years
rich As soon as he felt able to pay back the
500 guineas Andrews advertised that he had
made a find of this kind. There were no an
swers until after soma years a sailor, just
ashore, came in and said he was the owner of
the bag of guineas, which contained his prize
money, and that he had been shanghaied while
resting under the hedge and carried aw ay again
to sea. He described the markings on the bag
accurately and Mr Andrews' clerks told him
Mr. Andrews would gladly give him back his
money—“come in In the morning and get it."
The sailor went away saving he would return
for his inotc'y, but he was never heard of again.
It is not generally known that the first steam
boat ever built in tie United States was partly
construoted In Frederi k county In the year
1875, says the Frederick, (Md.) News. The
vessel was built by James Rurasey, at Shep
herdstown, W. Va. Robert Fulton with biß
Clermont was anticipated by Ku msey twenty
two years The steamboat was fitted up with
machinery partly manufactured at the Catoctin
furnace of the Johnson Brothers, near Freder
ick Tbe boiler, two cylinders, pumps, pipes,
etc., were manufactured In Baltimore. Some
portions of the works were ma ie at the An
tieta u Iron Works. On March 11,1785, a public
experiment, the first ever undertaken in America
was made on tbe Potomac river. Kumsey suc
ceeded in attaining a speed of tour utile an
hour against the current. The steam
boat was eight feet long. It was
propelled by a steam engine, which woraed a
vertiole pump in the middle of the vessel, by
whioh the water was diawn In the bow and dis
charged through a horizontal trunk at vbo
stern. The boat bore a load of three tons. The
weight of Its machinery was 60S pounds. The
whole of the machinery, including the boiler,
occupied a space but little over four feet
square. Two distinguished men were patrons
of Rumsey's experiment—George Washington
and Gov. Thomas Johnson of Maryland The
experiment was made In the interest of the
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Rumssy
oiearly and satisfactorily demonstrated that a
boat could be propelled up stream against the
current Thus we find that the first steamboat
was prooelled on the Potomac ar.d a portion of
the first machiuery made in Frederick county
107 years ago.
Of the 10,000 or more relics of all kinds pre
served in tha Army Medical Museum at Wash
ington, D. C., the most interesting, perhaps, are
two portions of a human body—all tbat remains
above ground of J. Wilkes Booth. These
ghastly but most Interesting specimens are num
bered and catalogued for ready reference. The
first (mounted on a little stand and labeled
4,088) lea section, or, rather, seotions of three
vertebr®, the third, fourth and fifth, through
an aperture In which a thin wire Is placed show
ing the course of the hall. Near this Is the sec
ond specimen, suspended In a wide- mouthed vial
of alcohol and labeled 4,0(7. It is about 3 inches
long and reminds on -of a eection of well
cooked beef marrow. Referring to the cata
logue. under the, head of No. 4,086 we find the
following: “Mounted specimen Is the
tnird, fourth and fifth cervical ver
tebra. a conoidal carbine ball entered
the right side, comminuting the base of i e
right laminae of the fourth vertebra, fractur
ing it longitudinally and separating It from tne
spinous process, at the same time fracturing
the fifth through its pedicle and also involving
the transverse process. The missile passed
directly through the canal with a slight inclina
tion downward and to the rear, emerging
through the left base of the fourth and fifth
lamlnte. which are comminuted, and from
which fragments were imbedded in the muscles
of the neck. •'(From a case where deatn oc
curred a few hours after injury, April Sti, 1365,)”
The alcoholic specimen, labeled 4,087, has this
emry In the catalogue: “A portion of the spinal
cord from the cervical region, transversely per
forated from right to left by a carbine ball
which fractured the laminae of the fourth and
fifth vertehrm. The cord is much torn and dis
colored by blood. (From a case where death
oc urred a lew hours a, ter injury, April 38,
lfttiSi.” As mentioned above these two speci
mens are the only portions of J. Wilkes
Booth's body tbat were not ooDSigned to ths
grave,
"Ok the many sights around Franklin, La.,
there is none so attractive as Oaklawn, not only
for its beauties, but for its aisociatea. It was
onoe the homestead of United States Senator
Porter, who once represented the state of
Louisiana In that capacity. It is perhaps tha
noblest representative of the munificent style
and luxury that once marked the grander life
ofthestate. It is a pillard pile, magn fleeut in
proportions, built of brick, with sumptuous
appliances. Evidently wealth and refined
taste had here lavished tuelr choicest
fancies. It was built to last a long time, and is
massive beyond all rivalry of most modern
country seats. It now belongs to Col. Bob Riv
ers of New Orleans, and he has fitted It up with
a richness of garniture In modern furnishings
beyond anything I have ever seen in any mod
ern country home. All therooms ave oee have
the most cost:y and beautiful modern furniture.
With a reverent and most hallowed taste he has
left one room invi.date, just as it was furnished
when its illustrious occupant last honored its
hosplta.de walls. Tnat is the Henry Clay room.
There is the same bed on which he (lept. plain,
solid, heavy mahogany, with its high posts al
most reaching to the high ceiling. The ward
robe is tuere. The bureau, with its mirror, in
which he saw reflected his leonine face The
old tiling In the fireplace is there, of large,
square brick, where he took his hot whisky
punch before he went to ben. Th- window
of his room overlooks the Teehe, which win le
and glints through the magnificent park. An
immense high portion, supporte 1 by towering
massive round pillars of stuccoed brick, is on
this side of the house, and the portico at the
rear Is similar, though less commanding. In
front on lther side the steps there were onoe
couchant lions of marble, but these are gone.
Considerable statuary also once graced the ca
pacious lawn, but these, too, have disappeared
and only an occasional bust is now seen. A lit
tle of the old furniture la yet left, some richly
carved initialed chairs, with straight backs, and
n quaint old umbrella stand and a chandelier or
two The lawn Is a picture—wide spread,
grandly shaded with live oaks, mainly
as if to give them verge and scope for growth,
but occasionally grouped in close proximity.
The ground Is velvety to touch of foot, solidly
carpeted in Bermuda grass.
