A Strung*' Nervooi Dliwie-
Among the natives of the Philippines,
according to a correspondent of the
Medical Nevre. New York, "there is
occasionally found a peculiar nervous
disease called mali-mali, the victims of
which seem to be impelled by an un
controllable impulse to imitate the
movements of any one they see, before
them. Sometimes the disease will lie
dormant while the victim goea quietly
about his work, but If frightened or
excited In any way he will immediately
bogin to imitate every motion of any
porson who attracts his attention. If a
person suffering from this disease be
comes angry he shrieks and raves like
a mania<s, at the same time continuing
his mimicking performances. Old
women afo the most common victims of
mali-mali, though men are sometimes
attacked. Some people believe that
the imitation mania, as it is sometimes
called, ia always assumed and that the
pretended victims can control their
antics i! they try, ac they are often at
tacked in the presence of Europeans
from whom they hope to obtain alrne";
but there is no ctonbt that the symp
toms of this disease are generally real,
and that such a disease exists is cer
"tain."
DEAFNESS CANUOT BE CURED
Py local applications, as they cannot roach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by con*tita
tional remedies. Deafness ts caused by an in
flamed condition" of the mucous lining of the
Eustaeliian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed yon hay« n rumbling wound or imper
fect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the Inflamma
tion enn be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out ol ton are caused by
catnrrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the tßoeona surfaces.

KNIFE OF AN ASSASSIN.
Kmpreu of Austria the Victim of an
Italian Anarchist.
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 18.—The
empress of Austria was assassinated
near the Hotel Beaurivage this after
noon by an anarchist, who was arrested.
It appears that her majesty was
walking from her hotel to the landing
place of the steamer at about 1 o'clock,
when an Italian anarchist suddenly ap
peared and stabbed her to the heart
The empress fell, and was carried to
the Hgtel Beaurivage, where she ex
pired.
The stretcher upon which the em
press was carried to the hotel was hast
ily improvised with oars and sail cloth.
Doctors and priests were immediately
summoned, and a telegram waa sent to
Emperor Francis Joseph.
All efforts to revive her majesty
were unavailing, and she expired at 3
o'clock. The medical examination
shows that the assassin must have used
a small triangular file. After striking
the blow he ran along the Rue Dcs
Alpes, with the evident intention of
entering the square Los Alpes, but be
fore reaching it he was seized by two
cabmen, who had witnessed the crime.
They handed him over to a boatman
and a gendarme, who conveyed him to
the police station.
The prisoner made no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing "I did it," and "She must be
dead."
At the police station he declared that
he was a "starving anarchist, with no
hatred for the poor, but only for the
rich."
Later, when taken to the courthouse
and interrogated by a magistrate in the
presence of three members of the local
government and the police officials, he
pretended not to know French and re
fused to answer questions. The police,
on searching him. found a document
showing his name to be Luigi Loa
chini, born in Paris in 1874, and an
Italian soldier.
A great crowd quickly assembled
around the Hotel Beaurivage, where
the officials proceeded after interrogat
ing the prisoner. The police searched
the scene of the orime for the weapon,
and the accomplices of the assassin.
It appears that a boatman noticed
three persons closely following the em
press, who was making purchases in
the shops.
The local government, immediately
on receiving the news of her majesty's
death, half-masted the flag on the hotel
deville (the municipal office), and pro
ceeded in a body to the Hotel Beauriv
age, as a token of respect.
The excitement increased, and many
of the shops on the Kursaal wete closed.
The empress 1 wound was just over
the left breast. There was hardly any
bleeding. A priest was secured in time
to administer the extreme unction.
METHODS OF ALGER.
Commission Selected to Investigate War
Department.
Washington, Sept. 13.—The presi
dent has urged the following-named,
among others, to accept places on the
committee to investigate the conduct
of the war department:
Lieutenant General John M. Scho
field, General John B. Gordon, General
Granville M. Dodge, President D. C.
Gillman, General Charles F. Mander
eon, Robert T. Lincoln, Daniel S. La
mont, Dr. W. W. Eeene and Colonel
James A. Sexton.
The message which President Me-
Kinley addressed to each follows:
"Will you render to the country a
great service by accepting my appoint
ment as a member of the committee to
examine into the conduct of the com
missary, quartermaster and medical
bureaus of the war department during
the war, and to the extent of the causes
and treatment of sickness in field and
camps? It is my desire that the full
and exact, truth shall be ascertained
and made known. I cannot too strongly
impress upon you my earnest wish that
this commission shall be of such high
character as will command the confi
dence of the country, and 1 trust you
will consent to serve."
IN SPITE OF PEACE.
The Filipplnos Still Waging War
Against the Spaniards.
London, Sept. 13.—The Manila cor-'
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
September 9, says: The insurgent con
quest of the island of Luzon is rapidly
approaching completion. Recent au
thentic reports announce the capture of
successive Spanish positions, and at
present the rebels control every foot of
the island except Manila, Cavite and a
small portion of the province of Albain.
They hold over 9,000 Spanish prisoners,
and have recently captured several
thousand rifles, some cannon, a large
quantity of ammunition, and several
armed stands. The Spaniards held out
valorouslv, but were fighting against
the inevitable.
; It is undeniable that the action of
the insurgents in pursuing tbe f cam
paign after an ;i armistice >was declared
has caused uch useless t suffering and
destruction i' of property, and : has anni
hilated their every claim to be consid
ered in any respect as the allies of tbe
Americans. " '■ ■ - /'■" "-" --- :>.•■/""

; I The full military band .; which has
been engaged to give i Concerts day amd
evening during the f exposition { is now
giving daily ctmderts at a big fair in
San Francisco, and is delighting thou
sands of people. Such music will be
appreciated *in the ; Northwest, and
those who attend the exposition will
be given every opportunity to en Joy it.
! Advices from all parts of the North
west indicate that many people are
coming to the exposition who have
not been in Portland for years. They
will 'find that many provements have
been made here and that the city has
grown. And they can " see) all these
improvements at a cost of almost noth
ing in time and money, for Portland
has one of the best . street-car systems
in the world. Electric cars ; vibrate to
all parts of the city' and its suburbs,
and you can take a car. every few min
utes. Excursions to the beautiful city
park, the heights, Willamette falls and
"other attractive points are thus quickly
and oheaply made. At the city park
visitors not only see a very pretty
place, but also see a large collection of
bears, cougars, wolves, alHgatbrs and
other wild animals, besides eagles,
owls and all kinds of feathered fam
ilies. ".:■- ,S. :-'■■:' :■ „ ;.: „
The great Exposition building is be
ing rearranged and made attractive,
and every evening during the exposi
tion it Will be illuminated with count
less electric lights, and the display
along that line will be the grandest
ever seen in the Northwest.
The farmers and fruit-growers of the
Northwest are f taking a very laudable
interest in the exposition, and the dis
play of their products Will be large and
creditable, and many special features
are being arranged for their benefit and
edification, and the farmers' and
daughters will find in the exposition
many exhibits and attractions that will
be interesting to them, not
the least of which will be the free
cooking lectures by Miss Suzy Tracey,
who is an acknowledged i scientific ex
pert in that line. - /{ ->-xl
The solid and enterprising business
men of Portland are all'behind the ex
position, and are poshing it along.
They know that it is a good thing for
the whole Northwest, and their com
mittees are meeting every night to ar
range for and engage new attractions
and make the exposition -: beneficial to
all, and the v railroad and steamboat
companies are going to give low special
rates, so that all may come and enjoy
themselves an3 Vv Be edified, | instructed
