Fulda, Pres- ident of tlic California Athletic Club, has made publicly a long explanntion and de- fence of the action of directors and referee In the Corbett-T.icks- on affair. In the beRln-nlii- g of his defense Mr. Fuldu makes this un- consciously amusing statement: "We number in our membership scions of the nobility of Europe, properly and regu- larly proposed, and elected. Many attempts have been made from time to time to elect under fictitious names influential members of the royal families, but such attempts have seldom succeeded. We recognize no other standing than that of known re- spectability." It would be interesting to know what clergymen and members of royal families have been blackballed by the club because they didn't come up to standard respecta- bility. Coming down to the question at issue. Sir. Fulda deals first with the state- - jnent that the directors had money on Jack- son. "The directors, as a rule, he says, "re- frain from betting, but a few hare done so from time to time. In my mind it should bo utterly prohibited. On the occasion of the late Jnckson-Coibe- tt match but 3 of the 11 directors had any w agcrs." After declaring that the club has been out- rageously imposed upon at times, Mr. Fulda says; "That cither Corbett or Jackson was Inipropeily treated win always remain an open question in the minds of the unattend-au- t public, but not in our minds or of tho majority of the membership of the club. The gentlemen themselves are the only ones who knew tho inner working of their own minds, but are too astute to give them utter- ance, except as they leflect to their exonera- tion, preferring, very wisely, to leave their case in the hands of their prejudiced and partisan following. As a general thing, a thoroughly defeated man will explain how the other man was no good and only defeated him by his own failures. Suffice It to say, for our own part, that we only knew at tho time, from their own utterances and our own observation, their trne condition, and Judged them accordingly." mere may ueniore m mat puragrapn man appears on the suiface. Upon the authority of some members, it is whispered about that the real reason for declaring the affair "no contest" was that Jackson and Corbett were oxcrhenrd talking while in the ring and agreeing to make the match a draw. Presi- dent Fulda, however, does directly and plainly charge that Corbett deliberately violated the rules Torn the very beginning of the contest by clinching Jackson in every round and paying no attention to the referee's order to bit k away. Mr. Fulda.'s statement of the circumstances leading up to the of "no contest" is as follows- - "Finally, when it becameappa-rcn- t to the rcfeiee that there wag no pros- pect of a termination, he called mo up and said that he did not propose to allow tho match to go on in that manner, or the club to be imposed upon; that the match was for the championship and that the principals should cither fight or be ordered out of the ring."

The rittsburgs won Just 3 games in 1G attempts, 1 each from Brooklyn, New York and Phila- delphia. I cannot imagine what tho trouble lias been. The pitchers certainly should have done better, and better efforts should ha c been put forth by the team In general. An inclination to play a sleepy game was noticeable n several" instances, and this may lia e caused the falling off. The ritts- burgs nrrived in Brooklyn Decoration Iiav morning in second. place.

KREISTTONTEST FESTIVAL. The Turners Enjoy Themselves In Their Usual Hearty Manner. St Paul, June 21. The second day of Kreisturnfest was a great success, notwith- standing the occasional dashes of rain that drove the crowds under shelter. Five hundred active Turners participated in the exercises of the day. The games began early in themomingand continued all day without interruption. The feature of the day was the wand drill, in which 500 joined. Ho results were made known y of the vari- ous contests, the awards to be announced on Tuesday. Kunning jump, putting the shot and fencing took up the morning, and were engaged in chiefly bv the Chicago, Milwau- kee, Davenport, St, Paul and Minneapolis societies. The best record made in jumping was by Emil Goetz, of Chicago, who made 19 feet 6 inches. He sprained two toes in the at- tempt, which is two feet behind his record. Adolph Stammwitz, of Minneapolis, put the shot, weight 35 pounds, 22 feet 6 inches. There were 13 participants in the fencing. "William Ivckie, of the Lincoln Turnvcrein, of Chi- cago, secured 33 points out of a possible 36. "Wands and parallel bars took up the after- noon, and an oratorical contest was held. The next meeting will be held at Davenport, la., four years hence. BABDSLEY'S SEHTEUCE. It Is Believed That He Will Be Given a Heavy One When He Comes Up. SPECIAL TF.LEGKAM TO THE PISPATCII. Philadelphia, June 21. Bardsley's sentence and his statement to the Court Tuesday promise to be the features of the City Treasury scaudal this week. There is much spcculation,bothastothe sentence and the statement. The intends to excuse and defend himself, rather than trace the missing money, and that being the case, it is believed that'he will get a very heavy sentence from the Court. The max- imum on the indictments to whicli he has pleaded is 3 years. City and county officials are of the opinion that if Bardsley would make a full and frank confession to the Court it might re- sult in taking a number of years off his sentence. On the other hand if he attempted to conceal anything or pro- tect anybody, they were as firmly convinced that the Court would give him practically a life sentence. It is said that Bardsley appreciates this fact and it is also said that he believes he will be able to impress the Court with the feeling that he is telling the truth. Those who know him well know him to be sly and foxy and they believe that he is going to be sly and foxy to the end. riFTX CHILEANS KILLED. The Esmeralda Falls In Attempting to Se- cure Provisions. "Washington, June 21 The Chilean Legation in this city y received a tele- gram from Peru, which says in substance that when the warship Esmeralda, after its voyage to San Diego, armed at the Labos Guano Islands the captain, being short of provisions, landed 50 men to take possession of provisions on the islands. The employes and workingmen in care of the islands attacked the men from the ves- sel, killing them and taking possession of their arms. The Esmeralda fired 80 shots, exhausting her ammunition. The dispatch concludes as follows: "It is false that the Chilean Government derived any benefit from the Labos Islands, whose works have been stopped since Jan-nar- y. Perfect order reigns in Chile and the army, well disciplined, is anxious to go to Tarapca and maj;e an end of the nitrate speculators." FEAKS THE DEEBTOD. France "Will Negotiate With the Czar , - through a New Diplomat FOR AN ALLIANCE; WITH RUSSIA. The jlmperor's Vanity Caused the Failure of the First Attempt. GOSSIP FK0JI EUROPE'S GAT CAPITAL Paris, June 21. The Comte de Monte-bell- o, wh n replaces M. de Laboulaye asi French .Ambassador at St. Petersburg, will be specially charged to obtain definite in- formation, from the Czar as fo the action of Russia in the event of war between France and Germrny. M. llibot, Minister of For- eign Affairs, has learned that M. de Labou-laye- 's failure to get the proposal for an al- liance disenssed arpse from the Czar's anger at the faci that the overture was first daGiers, Bussian Minister of Foreign.Aflairs, instead of to him. The Czar ordered M.de Giers to ignore the pro- posals for negotiations, and took the first occasion to snub M. de Laboulaye, who felt compelled to ask M. Bibot to relieve him irom his duties. The withdrawal of Baron Mohrenheim, Bussian Ambassador at Paris, is imminent, as M. de Xaboulnye acted on his advice. During the visit of the" French squadron to Cronstadt, the Czar will be personally ap proached on the subject of united action against the Dreibund, which is rendered all the more necessary through the menacing of the commercial coalition between the two countries. Carnot Approves tho Encyclical. The French Ambassador to the Holy See has presented to the Pope a letter from M. Carnot, in which the President expressed his high appreciation of the Pope's ency clical on social questions. ss Eugenie and Princess Lae-titi- a will start for "Farmsborough Monchrcourt, the liquidator of the Panama Canal Company, has held repeated conferences with M. Constans, Minister of the Interior, on the condition of the com- pany's affairs. The report that M. Christo-pl- e is considering a scheme involving the Credit Foncier in an attempt to revive the canal company, is unfounded. Ministers Fallieres and Constans have had a meeting with high judicial authorities regarding the prosecution of M. de Lesseps. Official opinion generally tends against his prosecu- tion, but M. Constans says that public feel- ing demands that that famous engineer be placed on trial. A dinner was given Thursday at the United States legation in honor of the Bussian Ambassador, Baron de Struve. Among those present were A. L. Snowden, United States Minister to Greece; Thomas B. Beed, D. O. Mills and Miss Porter. On Friday Hon. "Whitelaw Beid, United States Minister, Mrs. Beid and D. O. Mills started on a short trip among famous chateaux around Tours. French Plans for the Chicago Fair. M. Proust, Art Commissioner to the Chi- cago "World's Fair, says that at the coming meeting of the committee on the fair, at which Minister Roche will preside, he will submit a plan , to enable France to be splendidly represented at the exhibition. Among other things he will propose to send to Chicago plaster casts of the art objects in the Trocadero Museum, showing the prog- ress of French architecture from the earliest times up to the present dav. "These," he said in an interview, "will just suit for external adornment, if the directors will give France a separate art building." The 'directors, he added, might greatly, aid him in his task by guaranteeing artists neainst all loss by insuring their pictures, by constructing galleries which shall be in every way safe, and by convey- ing objects of art free from If ew York to Chicago. The trainmen and 'busmen of Bordeaux and Marseilles have gone on a strike. NOT A MERE FIGUREHEAD. QUEEN VICTORIA SOMETIMES INTER- FERES IN POLITICS. She Knows Better Than the House of Lords on "Which Side Koyaltj'g Bread Is But- teredWhy She Reluctantly Favored tho Disestablishment Bill. London, June 21. The position of the Queen in English politics is usually sup- posed to be generally passive. Her Majesty did not approve of the disestablishment policy, but she accepted the decision of the country, and the Commons used her influ- ence to induce the Lords on the one hand to accept the bill and Mr. Gladstone to take conciliatory methods with the Lords. The Archbishop of Canterbury was her media- tor and and throughout the progress of disestablishment the bill went through an active period of wire-pullin- interviewing, and lobbying which would have strained the nerves of a professional politician. "When the bill went into the Lords the general expectation was that they would reject it and that another of those Constitu- tional crises would arise which threaten the existence of the Upper House as now con- stituted. The fate of monarchy is so'Tea-sonab- ly associated in the mind of Her Majesty with'that of an heriditary Upper House as tq:rcate alarm when the position of the Iaftcr "appears menaced! Un- doubtedly, if the peers had rejected the dis- establishment bill "Mr. Gladstone nould have been backed Up by an enraged coun- try, and the always impending agitation to disestablish the peers Its a legislative body would have received a dangerous momentum. The Queen wrote to the Archbishop: Considering tho circumstances under which the measure ha come to the House of Lords, tho Queen Cannot regard, without tho greatest alarm, the probable effect of its ab- solute rejection in that House. Carried as it has been by an overwhelming and steady majority through a House of Commons choi-e- expressly to speak the feeling of the country on the question, there seems no rea- son to believe that any fresh appeal to tho people i ould lend ton different result. The rejection of the bill, therefore, would-onl- serve to bring the fwo Houses into a colli- sion, and so prolongn dangerous agitation of the subject. These words, pregnant of application in the early, future, are being quoted through- out the Liberal press as a proof in anticipa- tion tha the Queen, accepting the verdict of the country on 'Home Itule, will-us- e all her power and personal influence to prevent me Lorasirom opposing it.

A Biographical Sketch of His Career and a Short History of His Political Achieve- ments Arrangements for the Funeral to Be Made To-Da- y. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH. Indianapolis, Ind., June 21. McDonald died at 11:35 o'clock. He had been ill for some time and yesterday morning it was feared that he would not last throughout the day. Bulletins were published at intervals during the day and he finally passed, away surrounded by his family. He died peacefully without a strnggle and was conscious almost to the last. The arrangements for his funeral will be made Joseph Ewing McDonald was born in Butler county, O., In 1819. His father died while the son was an infant, and tho latter was educated by his mother until his ISth year, when ho was apprenticed to a saddler. He entered Wabash College, e, Ind., at IS years of age, supporting himself by working at his trade at odd hours and between terms'. He was at Asbury Uni versity in 1840-- and after leaving college studied law. He was admitted to the bar In 1S44, and, removing to Crawfordsville In 1845, established a practice. He was elected Attorney General In 1S53, and three years later removed to Indianapolis, where ho has since followed his profession. He was elected to Congress as a Democrat in 1848, and served in 1819-'5- but was defeated In the noxt can- vass', and nlso ln'ISGl as Democratic candi- date for Governor against Oliver P. Morton. Ho was Chairman of the Democratic State Committee in 1872, reorganized the party and secured the election of a Democratic Legisla- ture by which he wag sent to the United States Senate hi 1875, serving until 18SL While In that body he took a conspicuous part in de bates on finance, and was in favor of hard money and a protective tariff. In 1S84 McDonald was the choice of the Democrats of Indiana for President, and he received the vote of the delegation from that State In the national convention. Ho was thought to have good chance for tho second place on the ticket, at last, but after tho nomination of Cleve- land there was a rush to Hendricks that swept everything before. Since that time tho not taken any very active part in politics. A GBEAT ELECTRICAL GENIUS. Something Abont Nikola Tesla, Who Is Known by Many Plttsburgers. Nikola Tesla is fast becoming famous and many Pittsburgers who learned to know him during his stay at the "Westinghouse works in this city rejoice at his progress. A few weeks ago Tesla was thought to be near his end from a bad attack of the grip. But he pulled through, stood up before the electrical engineers and took 250,000 volts of electricity. As he laid down the handles after this terrific shaking up he remarked quietly: "And the' say 1,000 volts will kill a man?" Tesla is a Montenegrin. His family are pastoral people. An uncle is a Bishop in the Greek Church. He is slender in body, nervous m his movements and intense in Jiis application to the mysteries of electricity. His Greek face lights up and his black eyes gleam when he discourses on his favoreU theme. The electrical engineers grow en- thusiastic when they talk of Tesla and his discoveries. They Relive that the Greek is the greatest pioneer to-d- in the field of electrical exploration. So declaring, they bar not even Edson. Tesla performed before the engi- neers some experiments whicli one of them declared had not been exceeded in startling inijjuiiauvc S1111.& a iiuic. X1U bug gested and illustrated new tirinciples and possibilities. He advanced the theory that electrical and other phenomena are iden- tical. "We cannot call electricity ether, but we may call it ether associated with-matter,- he said. "With the development of his theory of ether power Tesla opens up a future which is dazzling. "The time will come," he says, "when all our machinery will be driven, not by steam or electricity, as now? but by a different power. All we want is a way to energize the dormant force. ."When we find that the settler in the wilderness as well as the manufacturer in the town will enjoy the benefit of it. "WHITELAW BEID'S BIO HOUSE. Hls Country "Beslnence Will Eclipse Any- - tiling Ever Tet Gotten Vp. Mr. "Whitclaw Keid's new country house at "White Plains, when completed, will bo the largest, handsomest and most thorough- ly appointed of all the luxurious country re- treats of wealthy men in the vicinity of New York, says Contractor A. L. Bridges. The old house burned to the ground simply because there was not sufficient water at hand to put it out. "We are putting in a water-work- s plant that will supply enough water for a small village. This has suggest- ed the introduction of.a dozen other modern luxuries, which heretofore have been sup- posed to be attainable only in town or city. Such is the electric. light plant, which will furnish light for the big building from gar- ret to cellar. The guest chambers number over one dozen. The dinipg room is long and high, almost completely sheathed in glass on the two,sides, and finished in polished oak. The library will perhaps be the most remarka- ble room in the house, with shelves for 25,-00- 0 volumes and finished in fine old season td woods, that will look as if they had stood the worms and frosts of centuries. The hall of entrance is as spacious as was the re- tainers' assembling place in some medieval castle. Three open fireplaces will heat it. These are qlso found in every room, and a steam-heatin- g plant supplies their deficien- cies from the standpoint of actual warmth. Nothing on an equally extensive scale has been attempted in a country house before. It is now nearly ready for occupancy, and I know that Mr. Beid will give a house-warmi- in the old baronial style when he takes possession. Next faifT I think, it can be thrown open. The cost will go very near $1,000,000. WILL HOT RESIGN YET. Superintendent Porter Says the Census Wprk.Is Well np. "Washington, June 21. Various reports were in circulation y to the effect that Superintendent Porter, of the Census Office, had resigned. To an Associated Press called on him to inquire into the truth of the rumor, Mr. Porter emphatically declared that he had not resigned, and that he did not contem- plate doing so until he had com- pleted the work which he had undertaken. The large number of removals that are now being made in the bureau, Mr. Porter said, was because of the completion of the work for which the persons discharged were He said the work of the bureau is well up, and that the statements will be completed by the end of July, and all hut two of the ten volumes will be ready for the printer by J my x.

The Greater Part of It Now Carried on by the, United States. EUROPEAN SUPREMACY IS GONE. Pennsylvania Appears to Be the Most Favored. State There. CONNELISYILLE COKE IN tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. Philadelphia, "June 21. If Europe in- tends to regain supremacy over Mexico's foreign commerce she will have to do some tall hustling; at least such 'is the opinion of "W. E. Butcher, a former Philadelphian now residing in Monterrey, who is in this city at present, a guest of the Eimwood Club. "The Mexican newspapers claim that Eu- rope gets most of the foreign trade,'" said Mr. Butcher, in the course of a conversa- tion upon the baby Itepublic, "but statis- tics recently issued disprove that statement. To-da- y three-fifth- s of all Mexican exports and imports are transacted with the United States. It was only a few years ago when England, France and Spain held com- - Elete sway over the foreign trade, but they lost a great deal of it," and they are losing more every month; and the reason why the United States has been able to step in is because of the recently built rail roads, and because ot the Mcluuley bill. The city ol Monterrey js the best in- stance of what Americans, can do in Mexico. Eight years ago this city had 20,000 inhab- itants; railroads and Americans came in, and now its population; by the last census, is given at 46,000. . The Boom at Monterrey. "Monterrey, you know, is -- the capital of the State of Nuevo Leon, and is about 175 miles from the Texas border. It used to be a sleepy old Spanish town; but now every- thing is on the jump. In 1882 Americans commenced to come in,. with the railroads, and now there are 3,000 or 4,000 of them there Smelting slants, emnlovine millions and millions of capital, are in operation, on account of "Windom'S decision regarding the duty of lead contained in ores, and more are being built. Two lines of steamers are be ing organized to ply "between New York and the new port of Tampico, about 300 miles from Monterrey; Americans are starting manufactories in Monterrey and elsewhere,-- " and Mexico generally has awakened to the fact that her salvation lies in a high pro- tective tariff", whereas the United States has all to gain by reciprocity; "It seems hardly possible that Mexico will agree to any reasonable plan of recip- rocity, however, because she has vastly more raw material than she knows what to do with; and she is succeeding splendidly in getting mills and factories started with American money and American machinery, both of which, you may be sure, come in without any duty at all. Pennsylvania Well Represented. "So far, Pennsylvania and New York are better represented in Montterey than any other States. AVilliam P. Grimm, formerly of Philadelphia, has a large knit goods fac- tory there, and it is the only one in the Republic of Mexico. He is doing splen- didly, and buys all of his wool within 30 miles of his office. You can readily see what a tremendous advantage he has over those who have to pay for raw material grown 600 or 700 miles away from their factories. "During the last year Monterrey has been enriched by three smelting plants for silver and lead, all managed by Americans, and owned by them and the English, Spanish and Mexicans. The Guggenheims, of Phila delphia, wnose worKs were lormerly at Pueblo, are putting in at Monterrey nine furnaces; and when, completed, these will lorm one of the finest smelting plants on the American continent. They will have a capacity of 450 tons a day, and with the other two plants will need fully $10,000,000 capital. Still another large smelting plant, owned by the Kansas City "Works, is being put up at San Louis Potosl. The removal of these industries to Mexico, and the con- sequent loss of capital, etc,, to the United States, is due entirely, as I said before, to the reading by Secretary "Windom of the silver clause in the McKinley bill; and nobody is more delighted with that inter- pretation than the Mexicans. At first they were anxious, for taey did not see what would result; but nowthey have great smelt- ing plants put in, enriching their most pros perous commercial center, and they are mighty glad of it. A Great Benefit to Labor. "All the labor at the furnaces will be na- tive, except officers of the companies, of course, and the machinists. Three years ago, wncn i nrst Knew somctning about Mexico, common labor cost from 25 to 37 cents per day; at present you1 cannot get an able-bodi- man to work for less than 75 cents. Houses that rented two years ago for 510 or $15 a month, now bring from f40 to $30. Two years ago there was not a show-windo- w in a store of Monterrey. To-da- y the merchants have a high fever to see which can make the biggest splurge in such decoration. "So far Pennsylvania seems to be more favored in Mexico, for the manufacturers down there want Connellsville coke, and they get it whenever possible. Of the 3,000 tons per month used by the Monterrey fur- naces nine-tent- is Connellsville coke, and when the Guggenheims get started they will need 2,000 tons more per month. Monterrey gets considerable soft coal from Indian Territory, and this, mixed with Pecas coal, from'Texas, is used by the rail- roads. And, by the way, one sees more Baldwin and Porter locomotives than any other. Mexico has some coking coal in the Sabina district, near San Fillippe, in the State of Coahuia, and the milling of this is growing to be a very large business. It is owned, I believe, by Huntingdon prin- cipally. Cost of Living In Mexico. "As an example of what it costs to live in Mexico, just consider some prices of manufactured goods brought in from the States. Fine accommodation at the prin- cipal hotel costs about ?10 per week. Fur- niture used to be brought in over the Bio Grande, and a common cottage suit, costing $25 to $30 in Philadelphia, would sell for $115 to $120 at Monterrey. But nil this will soon be changed. A big factory owned by Gerome & Dougherty is turning out furniture there, and they will be able to supply the market before long. "It is a curious fact that nine out of every ten hats you see in Mexico bear a Philadel- phia trade mark, even including the som- breros. A hat sold at $3 here costs $8 or $9 in Monterrey. I have seen no American neckwear in Mexico, that in vogue being of French manufacture and very costly indeed. Steel Rail Trade Lost to England. "Heretofore all steel rails for the railroads came from England to Galveston, and were then brought through the country in bond. But when the new port of Tampico is fully established this will be changed. A Phila- delphia steamship company has already placed a line of vessels there, and is build ing more, jiireauy a xoreign company nas' a line plying between New York and Tampico. "The population of Mexico numbers about 10,000,000, but of these only about are available as commercial factors. Splendid law and , order exists in the larger cities, and the judges don't allow technicali- ties to interfere with the process of justice. ,Education has been made compulsory, and in the City of Mexico isone of the finest military schools in the world." Mr. Butcher said again in closing that the United States has everything to gain from reciprocity with Mexico; but that the latter has about made up her mind to follow the example of the States, and foster manufac- tures.

CORPSE OF A MAN DRAGGED rROM THE GRAVE FOR TESTIMONT. Three Photographs of the Cadaver At- tached to a Deposition in Court A Girl Claimant's Effort to Establish the Iden- tity of Her Father. Cincinnati, June 2L Three spectral exhibits photographs of a cadaver, which had lain in the grave for eight months are attached to depositions handed up to Judge Shroder in the .Ernst case. The body is that of Andrew Ernst,"who died near Gunnison, Col., in August, 1889. It was placed in a box, the head resting on a bag filled' with hay. A thin shirt, trousers and a piece of canvas wrapped around the feet constituted the dress when the body was ready for bunal. It was taken to Gunnison and in- terred by an undertaker there. The April following, litigation having arisen over a legacy of $5,000 to one Andrew DeKnlb Ernst, who had been missing for 25 years, the undertaker caused the grave to be opened, and with the aid of a photographer, raised the body, when three photogranhs of it were taken, and subsequently attacked to the depositions of the undertaker and his helpers Andrew DeKalb Ernst was a. son of An- drew Emst, whose portrait graces the wall of the Mercantile Library. He left the property on the northwest corner of Fifth and Race streets, to Seth C. Foster, in trust for his widow, who was to receive the income and devise the property at her death. She gave it to her children, certain legacies excepted, one of which was $5,000 to Andrew DeKalb Ernst, her stenson. He had disappeared early in the sixties. He left two children in Louisville. One of them, a boy, died in a blind asylum. The other, a daughter, upon attaining woman- hood married a stenographer, and is now living in St. Paul. This daughter is the claimant of the $5,000 legacy in question. The legacy to Andrew DeKalb Ernst was conditioned on his being alive at the time of the testatrix's death. There is no doubt at all that the St. Paul woman is the daugh- ter of Andrew DeKalb Ernest, deserted by him in infancy. But before she can take the legacy she must show that he was living in 1883 and is now dead now. She contends that the Andrew Ernst who died in 1889, in Colorado, was Andrew DeKalb Ernsther father. Her claim is opposed by the rep- resentatives of her grandmother's estate. ABE LINCOLN CUBED HIM. How the Martyr President Took a Dram From a Whisky Barrel on a Bet. New York Son. "William Graham Green, now 80 years old, taught President Lincoln all he ever knew about grammar. He tells this story: There used to be a fellow named Enoch Easten, who spent a lot of time.loafing around. He was a betting, trifling kind of a man and he had a lot of tricks that he was always bet- ting on. He had a trick of doubling np his hand in some way so as to hide his middle finger. Then he would bet you that you couldn't mark his middle finger with a pen. I lost some nickels betting with him, and one day Abe Lincoln said tome: "Billy, you ought to know better than to bet on anything, but especially than to bet with a man on his own tricks. You ought to quit it." "But, Abe, he's got 90 cents the "best of me," I said. "Will you promise me that you'll never bet any more if I manage it so that you can get 'way ahead of him with one bet?" asked Lincoln. "les," 1 said, "but I'd hate to quit loser." "Billy," said Lincoln, "youaregeiting to an age when you're beginning to think a good deal about the girls. Wouldn't you like to have a plug hat to wear when you go M.ii:nH n i...m ' ' "Yes, I would," I said, "but they cost $7." ' ""Well, said Lincoln, "when Enoch comes in here again and wants to bet with you on his tricks, you just say that you don t care to bet on such trifling things withhim, but that you will bet that Abe can take a barrel of whisky off" the floor and take a dram from the bunghole. You' say that you'll bet him a plug hat on it." "But can you do it?" I asked. "That night he took a barrel of whisky and chimed it up a little on his left knee, and then tilted it on his right knee, and kind of bent back, and I pulled the bung out of the hole and he took a dram sure enough, and spurted it right out again on the floor. The next day I won the plug hat from Enoch, as Abe had said I would. I have kept my word ever since, and I've never bet on anything. And what's more, I wouldn't for $1,000." A Hard Question.

SPECULATIONS OP THE DOCTORS. Sonell's Case lias an Important Bearing on Hydrophobia. . AN OID C0XTE0YEBSY AGAIN REYITID ..SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, June 21. The gila monster that bit John Sonell's finger in Dr. C. S. Allen's snake poison laboratory Saturday appears to have been a harmless specimen. Controversy rages over the poisonous or nature of this lizard's bite, but Sonell w"as certainly more frightened than hurt. Dr. Bcnsel, who had charge of the case at Belle vue, could find no symptoms of poisoning, and felt sure that the man could get well if he djd not die of fright. This morning the swelling of his hand, which might have been caused by the cutting out of the flesh which the lizard's teeth penetrated, sub- sided somewhat. Sonell became convinced that his fears of death were groundless He was able to cat, and permitted a cneerlul serenity to overspread his face. But the mental shock had been so great that he was still weak. "When Dr. Bensel was asked y what he thought of the case, he said. "There is no doubt that the man will get well. He either was not poisoned or else the wound was cauterized in time. It may be that the gila monster had been biting its basket and had exhausted all its venom. Or, again, it may be that the gila monster is not always poisonous." Dr. Bates, who cauterized the wound, said: "I have seen the gila monster bite a good many times, and I do not believe that it is any more venomous than our little lizard. It's ugly appearance caused all sortsof superstition to arise about it. If it is poisonous then I think Dr. Bensel's idea may be right. I have seen a rattlesnake bite a half a dozen dogs. Jhehrst dog will get a full charge of poison and will die in a few minutes. The second dog will not die for some time. The third dog will either not die at all or will take a much longer time. The fifth and sixth dogs may show no signs of poisoning. I do not think that the absence of the "crazy plant" in the habitation of the gila has anything to do with its poison. It it is venomous in one place, it will no doubt be venomous every- where." The case of this man Sonell is interesting just now in another way. There have been several cases of supposed death from hydro phobia lately, and some controversy- - has arisen as to whether "the victims died of the bite of a rabid animal or the fear of death. The balance of testimony inmost of these cases has been in favor of the theory of tnght. let here is a man who receives a bite from a supposedly venomous reptile, and who is convinced by long experience as a snake charmer with venomous reptiles that the bite will kill him. His whole bearing showed that he had no hope of es- cape. He is not an educated man, and is of an excitable, nervous temper. But he does not die from fright. The mental shock prostrates" him, but his reasoning powers seem to have been sufficient to con- vince him that his mdrtal fear was ground- less. MANY BANK CLEABANCES.

RK Fracisco, June 21. L. K. Fulda, Pres-ident of tlic California Athletic Club, hasmade publicly a long explanntion and de-

fence of the action of directors and refereeIn the Corbett-T.icks- on affair. In the beRln-nlii- g

of his defense Mr. Fuldu makes this un-

consciously amusing statement:"We number in our membership scions of

the nobility of Europe, properly and regu-larly proposed, and elected. Many attemptshave been made from time to time to electunder fictitious names influential membersof the royal families, but such attemptshave seldom succeeded. We recognize noother standing than that of known re-

spectability."It would be interesting to know what

clergymen and members of royal familieshave been blackballed by the club becausethey didn't come up to standard respecta-bility. Coming down to the question atissue. Sir. Fulda deals first with the state- -

jnent that the directors had money on Jack-son. "The directors, as a rule, he says, "re-frain from betting, but a few hare done sofrom time to time. In my mind it should boutterly prohibited. On the occasion of thelate Jnckson-Coibe- tt match but 3 of the 11

directors had any w agcrs."After declaring that the club has been out-

rageously imposed upon at times, Mr. Fuldasays; "That cither Corbett or Jackson wasInipropeily treated win always remain anopen question in the minds of the unattend-au- t

public, but not in our minds or of thomajority of the membership of the club. Thegentlemen themselves are the only ones whoknew tho inner working of their ownminds, but are too astute to give them utter-ance, except as they leflect to their exonera-tion, preferring, very wisely, to leave theircase in the hands of their prejudiced andpartisan following. As a general thing, athoroughly defeated man will explain howthe other man was no good and only defeatedhim by his own failures. Suffice It to say,for our own part, that we only knew at thotime, from their own utterances and ourown observation, their trne condition, andJudged them accordingly."

mere may ueniore m mat puragrapn manappears on the suiface. Upon the authorityof some members, it is whispered about thatthe real reason for declaring the affair "nocontest" was that Jackson and Corbett wereoxcrhenrd talking while in the ring andagreeing to make the match a draw. Presi-dent Fulda, however, does directly andplainly charge that Corbett deliberatelyviolated the rules Torn the very beginningof the contest by clinching Jackson in everyround and paying no attention to thereferee's order to bit k away.

Mr. Fulda.'s statement of the circumstancesleading up to the of "no contest" isas follows- - "Finally, when it becameappa-rcn- t

to the rcfeiee that there wag no pros-pect of a termination, he called mo up andsaid that he did not propose to allow thomatch to go on in that manner, or the clubto be imposed upon; that the match was forthe championship and that the principalsshould cither fight or be ordered out of thering."

The pitchers certainly shouldhave done better, and better efforts shouldha c been put forth by the team In general.An inclination to play a sleepy game wasnoticeable n several" instances, and thismay lia e caused the falling off.

SPECIAL TF.LEGKAM TO THE PISPATCII.

Philadelphia, June 21. Bardsley'ssentence and his statement to the CourtTuesday promise to be the features of theCity Treasury scaudal this week. There ismuch spcculation,bothastothe sentence andthe statement. The intendsto excuse and defend himself, rather thantrace the missing money, and that being thecase, it is believed that'he will get a veryheavy sentence from the Court. The max-imum on the indictments to whicli he haspleaded is 3 years.

City and county officials are ofthe opinionthat if Bardsley would make a full andfrank confession to the Court it might re-

sult in taking a number of years off hissentence. On the other hand if heattempted to conceal anything or pro-tect anybody, they were as firmlyconvinced that the Court would givehim practically a life sentence. It is saidthat Bardsley appreciates this fact and itis also said that he believes he will be ableto impress the Court with the feeling thathe is telling the truth. Those who knowhim well know him to be sly and foxy andthey believe that he is going to be sly andfoxy to the end.

NOT A MERE FIGUREHEAD.

QUEEN VICTORIA SOMETIMES INTER-FERES IN POLITICS.

She Knows Better Than the House of Lordson "Which Side Koyaltj'g Bread Is But-teredWhy She Reluctantly Favored thoDisestablishment Bill.

London, June 21. The position of theQueen in English politics is usually sup-posed to be generally passive. Her Majestydid not approve of the disestablishmentpolicy, but she accepted the decision of thecountry, and the Commons used her influ-ence to induce the Lords on the one hand toaccept the bill and Mr. Gladstone to takeconciliatory methods with the Lords. TheArchbishop of Canterbury was her media-tor and and throughout theprogress of disestablishment the bill wentthrough an active period of wire-pullin-

interviewing, and lobbying which wouldhave strained the nerves of a professionalpolitician.

"When the bill went into the Lords thegeneral expectation was that they wouldreject it and that another of those Constitu-tional crises would arise which threaten theexistence of the Upper House as now con-stituted. The fate of monarchy is so'Tea-sonab- ly

associated in the mind of HerMajesty with'that of an heriditary UpperHouse as tq:rcate alarm when the positionof the Iaftcr "appears menaced! Un-doubtedly, if the peers had rejected the dis-establishment bill "Mr. Gladstone nouldhave been backed Up by an enraged coun-try, and the always impending agitation todisestablish the peers Its a legislative bodywould have received a dangerous momentum.The Queen wrote to the Archbishop:

Considering tho circumstances underwhich the measure ha come to the House ofLords, tho Queen Cannot regard, without thogreatest alarm, the probable effect of its ab-solute rejection in that House. Carried as ithas been by an overwhelming and steadymajority through a House of Commonschoi-e- expressly to speak the feeling of thecountry on the question, there seems no rea-son to believe that any fresh appeal to thopeople i ould lend ton different result. Therejection of the bill, therefore, would-onl-

serve to bring the fwo Houses into a colli-sion, and so prolongn dangerous agitation ofthe subject.

These words, pregnant of application inthe early, future, are being quoted through-out the Liberal press as a proof in anticipa-tion tha the Queen, accepting the verdictof the country on 'Home Itule, will-us- e allher power and personal influence to preventme Lorasirom opposing it.

Bulletinswere published at intervals during the dayand he finally passed, away surrounded byhis family. He died peacefully without astrnggle and was conscious almost to thelast.

Joseph Ewing McDonald wasborn in Butler county, O., In 1819. His fatherdied while the son was an infant, and tholatter was educated by his mother until hisISth year, when ho was apprenticed to asaddler. He entered Wabash College, e,

Ind., at IS years of age, supportinghimself by working at his trade at odd hoursand between terms'. He was at Asbury University in 1840-- and after leaving collegestudied law. He was admitted to the barIn 1S44, and, removing to Crawfordsville In1845, established a practice. He was electedAttorney General In 1S53, and three yearslater removed to Indianapolis, where ho hassince followed his profession.

A GBEAT ELECTRICAL GENIUS.

Something Abont Nikola Tesla, Who IsKnown by Many Plttsburgers.

Nikola Tesla is fast becoming famous andmany Pittsburgers who learned to knowhim during his stay at the "Westinghouseworks in this city rejoice at his progress.A few weeks ago Tesla was thought to benear his end from a bad attack of the grip.But he pulled through, stood up beforethe electrical engineers and took 250,000volts of electricity. As he laid down thehandles after this terrific shaking up heremarked quietly: "And the' say 1,000volts will kill a man?"

Tesla is a Montenegrin. His family arepastoral people. An uncle is a Bishop inthe Greek Church. He is slender in body,nervous m his movements and intense in Jiisapplication to the mysteries of electricity.His Greek face lights up and his black eyesgleam when he discourses on his favoreUtheme. The electrical engineers grow en-thusiastic when they talk of Tesla and hisdiscoveries. They Relive that theGreek is the greatest pioneer to-d-

in the field of electrical exploration.So declaring, they bar not evenEdson. Tesla performed before the engi-neers some experiments whicli one of themdeclared had not been exceeded in startlinginijjuiiauvc S1111.& a iiuic. X1U buggested and illustrated new tirinciples andpossibilities. He advanced the theory thatelectrical and other phenomena are iden-tical. "We cannot call electricity ether,but we may call it ether associated with-matter,-

he said."With the development of his theory of

ether power Tesla opens up a future whichis dazzling. "The time will come," he says,"when all our machinery will be driven, notby steam or electricity, as now? but by adifferent power. All we want is a way toenergize the dormant force. ."When we findthat the settler in the wilderness as well asthe manufacturer in the town will enjoy thebenefit of it.

"WHITELAW BEID'S BIO HOUSE.

Hls Country "Beslnence Will Eclipse Any--tiling Ever Tet Gotten Vp.

Mr. "Whitclaw Keid's new country houseat "White Plains, when completed, will bothe largest, handsomest and most thorough-ly appointed of all the luxurious country re-

treats of wealthy men in the vicinity ofNew York, says Contractor A. L. Bridges.The old house burned to the ground simplybecause there was not sufficient water athand to put it out. "We are putting in awater-work- s plant that will supply enoughwater for a small village. This has suggest-ed the introduction of.a dozen other modernluxuries, which heretofore have been sup-posed to be attainable only in town or city.Such is the electric. light plant, which willfurnish light for the big building from gar-ret to cellar.

The guest chambers number over onedozen. The dinipg room is long and high,almost completely sheathed in glass on thetwo,sides, and finished in polished oak. Thelibrary will perhaps be the most remarka-ble room in the house, with shelves for 25,-00- 0

volumes and finished in fine old season tdwoods, that will look as if they had stoodthe worms and frosts of centuries. The hallof entrance is as spacious as was the re-tainers' assembling place in some medievalcastle. Three open fireplaces will heat it.These are qlso found in every room, and asteam-heatin- g plant supplies their deficien-cies from the standpoint of actual warmth.Nothing on an equally extensive scale hasbeen attempted in a country house before.It is now nearly ready for occupancy, and Iknow that Mr. Beid will give a house-warmi-

in the old baronial style when he takespossession. Next faifT I think, it can bethrown open. The cost will go very near$1,000,000.

TRADE WITH MEXICO.

The Greater Part of It Now Carriedon by the, United States.

EUROPEAN SUPREMACY IS GONE.

Pennsylvania Appears to Be the Most

Favored. State There.

CONNELISYILLE COKE IN

tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.

Philadelphia, "June 21. If Europe in-

tends to regain supremacy over Mexico'sforeign commerce she will have to do sometall hustling; at least such 'is the opinion of"W. E. Butcher, a former Philadelphiannow residing in Monterrey, who is in thiscity at present, a guest of the EimwoodClub.

"The Mexican newspapers claim that Eu-rope gets most of the foreign trade,'" saidMr. Butcher, in the course of a conversa-tion upon the baby Itepublic, "but statis-tics recently issued disprove that statement.To-da- y three-fifth- s of all Mexican exportsand imports are transacted with the UnitedStates. It was only a few years ago whenEngland, France and Spain held com- -

Elete sway over the foreign trade, but theylost a great deal of it," and they are

losing more every month; and the reasonwhy the United States has been able tostep in is because of the recently built railroads, and because ot the Mcluuley bill.

The city ol Monterrey js the best in-stance of what Americans, can do in Mexico.Eight years ago this city had 20,000 inhab-itants; railroads and Americans came in,and now its population; by the last census,is given at 46,000. .

The Boom at Monterrey."Monterrey, you know, is -- the capital of

the State of Nuevo Leon, and is about 175miles from the Texas border. It used to bea sleepy old Spanish town; but now every-thing is on the jump. In 1882 Americanscommenced to come in,.with the railroads,and now there are 3,000 or 4,000 of themthere Smelting slants, emnlovine millionsand millions of capital, are in operation, onaccount of "Windom'S decision regarding theduty of lead contained in ores, and more arebeing built. Two lines of steamers are being organized to ply "between New York andthe new port of Tampico, about 300 milesfrom Monterrey; Americans are startingmanufactories in Monterrey and elsewhere,-- "

and Mexico generally has awakened to thefact that her salvation lies in a high pro-tective tariff", whereas the United States hasall to gain by reciprocity;

"It seems hardly possible that Mexicowill agree to any reasonable plan of recip-rocity, however, because she has vastlymore raw material than she knows what todo with; and she is succeeding splendidlyin getting mills and factories started withAmerican money and American machinery,both of which, you may be sure, come inwithout any duty at all.

Pennsylvania Well Represented."So far, Pennsylvania and New York are

better represented in Montterey than anyother States. AVilliam P. Grimm, formerlyof Philadelphia, has a large knit goods fac-tory there, and it is the only one in theRepublic of Mexico. He is doing splen-didly, and buys all of his wool within 30miles of his office. You can readilysee what a tremendous advantage hehas over those who have to pay forraw material grown 600 or 700 miles awayfrom their factories.

"During the last year Monterrey has beenenriched by three smelting plants for silverand lead, all managed by Americans, andowned by them and the English, Spanishand Mexicans. The Guggenheims, of Philadelphia, wnose worKs were lormerly atPueblo, are putting in at Monterrey ninefurnaces; and when, completed, these willlorm one of the finest smelting plants onthe American continent. They will have acapacity of 450 tons a day, and with theother two plants will need fully $10,000,000capital. Still another large smelting plant,owned by the Kansas City "Works, is beingput up at San Louis Potosl. The removalof these industries to Mexico, and the con-sequent loss of capital, etc,,to the UnitedStates, is due entirely, as I said before, tothe reading by Secretary "Windom of thesilver clause in the McKinley bill; andnobody is more delighted with that inter-pretation than the Mexicans. At first theywere anxious, for taey did not see whatwould result; but nowthey have great smelt-ing plants put in, enriching their most prosperous commercial center, and they aremighty glad of it.

A Great Benefit to Labor."All the labor at the furnaces will be na-

tive, except officers of the companies, ofcourse, and the machinists. Three yearsago, wncn i nrst Knew somctning aboutMexico, common labor cost from 25 to 37cents per day; at present you1 cannot get anable-bodi- man to work for less than 75cents. Houses that rented two years agofor 510 or $15 a month, now bring from f40to $30. Two years ago there was not a show-windo- w

in a store of Monterrey. To-da- y

the merchants have a high fever to seewhich can make the biggest splurge in suchdecoration.

"So far Pennsylvania seems to be morefavored in Mexico, for the manufacturersdown there want Connellsville coke, andthey get it whenever possible. Of the 3,000tons per month used by the Monterrey fur-naces nine-tent- is Connellsville coke, andwhen the Guggenheims get started theywill need 2,000 tons more per month.Monterrey gets considerable soft coal fromIndian Territory, and this, mixed withPecas coal, from'Texas, is used by the rail-roads. And, by the way, one sees moreBaldwin and Porter locomotives than anyother. Mexico has some coking coal in theSabina district, near San Fillippe, in theState of Coahuia, and the milling of this isgrowing to be a very large business. It isowned, I believe, by Huntingdon prin-cipally.

Cost of Living In Mexico."As an example of what it costs to live

in Mexico, just consider some prices ofmanufactured goods brought in from theStates. Fine accommodation at the prin-cipal hotel costs about ?10 per week. Fur-niture used to be brought in over the BioGrande, and a common cottage suit, costing$25 to $30 in Philadelphia, would sell for$115 to $120 at Monterrey. But nil thiswill soon be changed. A big factory ownedby Gerome & Dougherty is turning outfurniture there, and they will be able tosupply the market before long.

"It is a curious fact that nine out of everyten hats you see in Mexico bear a Philadel-phia trade mark, even including the som-breros. A hat sold at $3 here costs $8 or $9in Monterrey. I have seen no Americanneckwear in Mexico, that in vogue being ofFrench manufacture and very costly indeed.

Steel Rail Trade Lost to England."Heretofore all steel rails for the railroads

came from England to Galveston, and werethen brought through the country in bond.But when the new port of Tampico is fullyestablished this will be changed. A Phila-delphia steamship company has alreadyplaced a line of vessels there, and is building more, jiireauy a xoreign company nas'a line plying between New York andTampico.

"The population of Mexico numbersabout 10,000,000, but of these only about

are available as commercial factors.Splendid law and , order exists in the largercities, and the judges don't allow technicali-ties to interfere with the process of justice.,Education has been made compulsory, andin the City of Mexico isone of the finestmilitary schools in the world."

Mr. Butcher said again in closing that theUnited States has everything to gain fromreciprocity with Mexico; but that the latterhas about made up her mind to follow theexample of the States, and foster manufac-tures.

CORPSE OF A MAN DRAGGED rROMTHE GRAVE FOR TESTIMONT.

Three Photographs of the Cadaver At-tached to a Deposition in Court A GirlClaimant's Effort to Establish the Iden-tity of Her Father.

Cincinnati, June 2L Three spectralexhibits photographs of a cadaver, whichhad lain in the grave for eight months areattached to depositions handed up to JudgeShroder in the .Ernst case. The body is thatof Andrew Ernst,"who died near Gunnison,Col., in August, 1889. It was placed in abox, the head resting on a bag filled' withhay. A thin shirt, trousers and a piece ofcanvas wrapped around the feet constitutedthe dress when the body was ready forbunal. It was taken to Gunnison and in-

terred by an undertaker there.The April following, litigation having

arisen over a legacy of $5,000 to one AndrewDeKnlb Ernst, who had been missing for 25years, the undertaker caused the grave to beopened, and with the aid of a photographer,raised the body, when three photogranhs ofit were taken, and subsequently attacked tothe depositions of the undertaker and hishelpers

Andrew DeKalb Ernst was a. son of An-drew Emst, whose portrait graces the wallof the Mercantile Library. He left theproperty on the northwest corner of Fifthand Race streets, to Seth C. Foster, intrust for his widow, who was to receive theincome and devise the property at herdeath. She gave it to her children, certainlegacies excepted, one of which was $5,000to Andrew DeKalb Ernst, her stenson. Hehad disappeared early in the sixties. Heleft two children in Louisville. One ofthem, a boy, died in a blind asylum. Theother, a daughter, upon attaining woman-hood married a stenographer, and is nowliving in St. Paul. This daughter is theclaimant of the $5,000 legacy in question.

The legacy to Andrew DeKalb Ernst wasconditioned on his being alive at the timeof the testatrix's death. There is no doubtat all that the St. Paul woman is the daugh-ter of Andrew DeKalb Ernest, deserted byhim in infancy. But before she can takethe legacy she must show that he was livingin 1883 and is now dead now. She contendsthat the Andrew Ernst who died in 1889, inColorado, was Andrew DeKalb Ernstherfather. Her claim is opposed by the rep-resentatives of her grandmother's estate.

ABE LINCOLN CUBED HIM.

How the Martyr President Took a DramFrom a Whisky Barrel on a Bet.

New York Son."William Graham Green, now 80 years old,

taught President Lincoln all he ever knewabout grammar. He tells this story: Thereused to be a fellow named Enoch Easten,who spent a lot of time.loafing around. Hewas a betting, trifling kind of a man and hehad a lot of tricks that he was always bet-ting on. He had a trick of doubling np hishand in some way so as to hide his middlefinger. Then he would bet you that youcouldn't mark his middle finger with a pen.I lost some nickels betting with him, andone day Abe Lincoln said tome:

"Billy, you ought to know better than tobet on anything, but especially than to betwith a man on his own tricks. You oughtto quit it."

"But, Abe, he's got 90 cents the "best ofme," I said.

"Will you promise me that you'll neverbet any more if I manage it so that you canget 'way ahead of him with one bet?"asked Lincoln.

"les," 1 said, "but I'd hate to quitloser."

"Billy," said Lincoln, "youaregeiting toan age when you're beginning to think agood deal about the girls. Wouldn't youlike to have a plug hat to wear when you goM.ii:nH n i...m ' '

"Yes, I would," I said, "but they cost$7." '

""Well, said Lincoln, "when Enoch comesin here again and wants to bet with you onhis tricks, you just say that you don t careto bet on such trifling things withhim, butthat you will bet that Abe can take a

barrel of whisky off" the floor andtake a dram from the bunghole. You' saythat you'll bet him a plug hat on it."

"But can you do it?" I asked."That night he took a barrel of whisky

and chimed it up a little on his left knee,and then tilted it on his right knee, andkind of bent back, and I pulled the bungout of the hole and he took a dram sureenough, and spurted it right out again onthe floor. The next day I won the plug hatfrom Enoch, as Abe had said I would. Ihave kept my word ever since, and I'venever bet on anything. And what's more, Iwouldn't for $1,000."

m DANGER OE DEATH

In the Case of the Snake eharmerBitten by a Gila Monster.

SPECULATIONS OP THE DOCTORS.

Sonell's Case lias an Important Bearing

on Hydrophobia. .

AN OID C0XTE0YEBSY AGAIN REYITID

..SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

New York, June 21. The gila monsterthat bit John Sonell's finger in Dr. C. S.Allen's snake poison laboratory Saturdayappears to have been a harmless specimen.Controversy rages over the poisonous or

nature of this lizard's bite, butSonell w"as certainly more frightened thanhurt. Dr. Bcnsel, who had charge of thecase at Belle vue, could find no symptoms ofpoisoning, and felt sure that the man couldget well if he djd not die of fright. Thismorning the swelling of his hand,which might have been caused bythe cutting out of the fleshwhich the lizard's teeth penetrated, sub-

sided somewhat. Sonell became convincedthat his fears of death were groundless Hewas able to cat, and permitted a cneerlulserenity to overspread his face. But themental shock had been so great that he wasstill weak.

"When Dr. Bensel was asked y whathe thought of the case, he said. "There isno doubt that the man will get well. Heeither was not poisoned or else the woundwas cauterized in time. It may be that thegila monster had been biting its basket andhad exhausted all its venom. Or, again, itmay be that the gila monster is not alwayspoisonous."

Dr. Bates, who cauterized the wound,said: "I have seen the gila monster bite agood many times, and I do not believe thatit is any more venomous than our littlelizard. It's ugly appearance caused allsortsof superstition to arise about it. If itis poisonous then I think Dr. Bensel's ideamay be right. I have seen a rattlesnakebite a half a dozen dogs. Jhehrst dog willget a full charge of poison and will die in afew minutes. The second dog will not diefor some time. The third dog will eithernot die at all or will take a much longertime. The fifth and sixth dogs may showno signs of poisoning. I do not think thatthe absence of the "crazy plant" in thehabitation of the gila has anything to dowith its poison. It it is venomous in oneplace, it will no doubt be venomous every-where."

The case of this man Sonell is interestingjust now in another way. There have beenseveral cases of supposed death from hydrophobia lately, and some controversy- - hasarisen as to whether "the victims died of thebite of a rabid animal or the fear of death.The balance of testimony inmost of thesecases has been in favor of the theory oftnght. let here is a man who receives abite from a supposedly venomous reptile,and who is convinced by long experience asa snake charmer with venomous reptilesthat the bite will kill him. His wholebearing showed that he had no hope of es-

cape. He is not an educated man, and isof an excitable, nervous temper. But hedoes not die from fright. The mentalshock prostrates" him, but his reasoningpowers seem to have been sufficient to con-vince him that his mdrtal fear was ground-less.
