WABHINGTOH LETTEB.
From ovrltegular Correspondent.
Washington, May 13, 1889
Harrison's religious following will
prolably bo greatly shocked to loam
that tho truly good and pious Benja
min has bcon indulging in a sinful Sun
day oxotirgion. But such is tho fact.
Pious Bonny left Washington Saturday
morninc on board of the Government
vessel Despatch and tho sailing masters
orders were to keep going night and
day until tho return to Washington to
night. And to mako matters worso ho
hn9 lod off with him such innocents as
Secretary Windom. who has not yet
entirely recovered from tho effects of
his own indulgence at the lato Now
York celebration, Secretary Rrifek, who
by tho way, needs salt air very much
since, ho was "fresh" enough to think
that wiolding a soytho for fivo minutes
in tho presence of nowepnper corres
pondents was sufficient to popularize
him with tho Agriculturists and work
ing people of the country, and lastly
but by no means least, Joo Hawley,
who although born in tho stato of
North Carolina, can and does constant
ly give tho trickiest citizens of the
stato which ho represents in tho United
States Scnalo Connecticut points in
all manner of things. Mrs. Harrison
was along, but so also were tho two
MoKce children, who probably fully
occupied her time leaving the four
mark tho ntirahor pious gentlemen to
indulge in their favorite game to as
creat an extent as thev mav wish.
What was dono will probably never bo
known as neither of tho four concornod
aro likely to tell any talcs.
Chief Justice Fuller finding tho rcsi
donoo in the suburbs which ho now
occupies under leaso to be too far from
tho capitot for him to wal' to and from
tho Supreme Cour room in tho Capitol,
has purchased ono ot trie most desira
bio private houses in this citv, located
in its centre. Tho price paid was
$iuu,uuu casii.
Mr. Palmor tho now Publio Printer
took oharce of tho Government print
ing office this morning. Mr. Benedict,
tho retiring Publio Printer has not
heen a popular ollici.il, no man can be,
in that office, who properly looks out
for tho interest of the Government, but
he has nevertheless been one of tho
very bjst Publio Printors we have
over had. There has been loss wasto
nod more work turned out for tho
amount paid than was over before
known In ino nistorv of the olhce.
At last tho colored man and brother
has captured a Presidential appoint
ment. Tho lucky man was Jtev. J. M.
Townsond of Kichmond, Indiana, and
the office was recorder of the General
Land office not a big office by any
means, uui just now me race is ez
tremoly thankful for any thing it can
got.
Corporal Tanner is getting to im
ncino himself the "biggest" man con
nected with tho administration. Some
of his personal friends have already
l)ecnid"to talk of lam as a Presidential
candidate. If less than two months at
tho head of the pension bureau has had
this much effect, what may be oxpected
in four years!
The S190,000,000 in tho United
Mates treasury has all goa to bo count'
od in order that Mr. Hyatt the retiring
Treasurer may take tho receipt of the
new Treasurer, Mr. Huston, for the
samo. The count began to-day and is
expected to last something uko three
months. Nearly four-fifths of tho
money consists of Btandard silver dol
lars. Tho appointment of Ex-Governor
Thompson of South Carolina as tho
democratic and Mr. Theodore Roose
velt of Now York, and the second re.
publican member of the Civil Service
Commission, makes the board oompleto
for the first time in several months.
One of the first things that tho Com-
nvssioner intends to do is to contest
tho recent decision of tho Interior de
partment that appointments in tho
Census bureaus would be mado without
clvil-servico examinations.
Mr. Wanamaker is opposed to one
cent postage. He seems to have al
ready become a victim to tho fever
that Postmaster Generals always get
soon after their appointments and nel
dom ever cot rid of. That is the
absurd desiro to make tho Post office
department self sustaining.
It's dollars to ginger cakes that some
New Hampshire paper will get in its
work early in the administration, on
tho New Publio Printer. My reason
for thinking so is that little ''Billy'
Chandelier helped Palmer fix up his
bond and also went on it himself. Now
Chandelier never does anything for
nothing, and bis long oxperience in
monufacturing Government contracts
in which be has been silently interested
causes me to believo that iu this case
he will stick to the samo lino of tactics
that have mado him a rich man.
Tho next Congress will have sixteen
contested election cases to determine,
thirteen of them from tho south. Tho
papers in several coses are now at tho
Government printiug office being put
in type.
Tbe Mind Beader Dead.
Washington Irving Bishop, who be-
nimn fnmnna in thld nnnnt.rv ami in
Europo by his extraordinary, and to
log performances, died at noon Monday
at the Lambs Club, No. 34 Wost
Twenty-sixth street N. Y. The circum
stances attending bis death were as
singular as, and in perfect keeping
uritli Inn romnrVnhln carper, for it was
tlia effort to perform a wonderful feat
ot tbouglit-reading wntcii caused mo
cataleptic fit that ultimately pro ed
fatal.
Friday last Mr. Bishop camo to New
York from Philadelphia to sign a con
tract with his manager, Mr. R'tcbie,
and was stopping at the HoiTman
House, On Suuday night tho mem
bore of the Lambs Club gave one of
their suppers and entertainments. Mr.
Bishop seemed to be in oxcollent spirits
and apparently enjoyed tho affair very
much. Whon Mr. Clay Greene, the
Secretary of tho club, called upon him
to contribute to tho amusomont of tho
evening Bishop readily consented, and
performed bis famous dagger trick.
The hearty applauso that greeted
this performance led him to announce
another nnd moro difficult one, that of
finding a word In a book whioli was to
bo previously selected by one of tho
gentlemen present Tbe mental offort
attending this perforraanco proved too
great, for he suddenly foil to tho floor
fn a state very like a cataleptic fit, tho

ninth street, who is a member of tho
club, happened to oomo in and ho took
tho patient in charge. His prompt nso
of stimulants soon hi ought Mr, Bishop
around when, to tho amazement of all
who wero in tho room, ho announced
his intention of performing tho feat
previously undertaken.
Dr. Irwinc protested against tbo at'
tompt and all tho gentlemen endeavor
ed to dissuade him, to no purpose,
however, for evon tho physician's allu
sion to tho danger of another attaok,
failed to shako Bishop. "Why" said
he, "I am not affrald of theso fits, for
I'vo had over a dozon of them, and I'm
alivo yet. But I intend to do tho feat
oven if it kills me, just to show all that
I oan do It,'
Dr. Irwino and Mr. Grceno then do-
cended to tho basement, and among a
lot of old account books picked out
tho minuto book of tho club and on
page 87 selcoted tho word "Townsond,"
afterwards secreting tho book in e dis
used drawor among somo discarded
rubbish.
On returning to tho room whore
Bishop was sitting JJr. irwino again
endeavored to dissuado him from pro
ceeding in what ho gravely informed
him was a very dangerous experiment.,
But Bishon for tho second timo re
marked han he would accomplish tho
feat even if it killed him, and insisted
that ho bo immediately blindfoldod.

over his eves -ho was led downstairs,

Greene's wrist. In duo time ho dis
covered tho room, then tho drawer and
tho book, and on the leaves of tho lat
ter being rapidly turned over by him,
ho stopped nt tho right ono and then
ran over it with a pencil. Suddenly
ho seemed to mako a private mark,
and then nervously requested that the
book bo brought upstairs.
Ho had no sooner er.tered tho room
where the members were assembled
than ho pulled a bandage from his
oyes and oxolaimod. "Quioki quick,
give me a bit of paperl'' and on receiv
ing it ho dashed off "Dnesn wot," that
being tho selec -ed word written back

Probably no other act passed at tho
rccont session of the Legislature is so
important to tho farmers of tbe state
. . , T. ,
as tno act repealing mo renco law.
This old statute, passed in 1700, mado
all persons liable in damages for in
juries done to them to stray cattle,
sheep or hogs in driving them from
their premises, provided the premises
were not protected by a high and close
fence as prescribed by law. Now
there is no need of the fence, tho own
er of the land is not responsible for in
juries done to trespassing cattle in
driving them off his grounds. Wheth
er he can obtain damages for tho mis
chief done by the trespassing cattle is
not so clear.
If the purpose of tho Legislature was
to abolish the necessity for fences it
would have accomplished this objeot
moro certainly and saved litigation by
making it a misdemeanor for the owner
of cat tie or stock to suffer them to run
at largo. It is uot everyone, even
though injured by trespassing cattle,
who cares to maim or kill tbera simply
to punish their owners for not keeping
them in their fields. Tbe repeal of the
Fenco law has no effect upon the rail
road companies in tho stato at large,
because they were not bound to fence
their tracks nor liable to tho owners of
cattle killed thereon, while the fenoe
law still stood. By a special act, ap
plicable to Warren Venango, McKean,
Bradford, and pes haps somo other
counties, railroads are required to oreot
fences and cattle guards or pay for
oatllo injured for want of them.
Thoso special laws remain operative,
in spite of the repeal of the general
Fence law.
As tho law now stands it appears
that ovcryoue in the rural districts may
suffer his cattle, sheep and horses to
roam at large and do what damage
thoy please, subject only to the risk
that some irate neighbor who finds
them tramping down his wheat may
injure them, and in a few counties, if
tbo stray cattle derail a locomotive and
are crushed in tbe act, their owner
may recover their full value from tho
railroad company. Press.

Fishing season is in its brightest
days. Mr. Gardner of Bloomsburg,
tried his skill as a fisherman on Tues
day l'lth inst, aud succeeded in cap
turing several fine trout.
Mr. Jno. Klineer, who fell aud in
jured himself on Saturday 11th, is con-

Mr. Kaufman of Lancaster, a prohi
bition lecturer, addressed a meeting of
49 persons at tbo JJtaudon SI.
Church, Tuesday evening 14th inst.
His arguments were based upon facts,
but groat many of his exclamations
wero uufounded and basoless. Tho
thinness of tho audienco was Bomewhat
of a surprise to many, for it was gen
erally conceded that moro voters were
in favor of prohibition. The meeting
was opened by singing Crown Him
Lord of All, after which Air. A. it.
Fritz lod in prayer. Aftor prayer Mr,
Kaufman was introduced, who made
a few very bold and rigid exolamations.
Ono most remarkable was that whoso

Died For Bcieno's Bake.
Dr. Frank R. Vincont of Clifton
Springs N. Y., met with a peculiar
ueaiu ounuay morning itusi.
For some timo past Dr. Vinoent had
been experimenting with an instrument
known as "die Sayre suspension ap
paratus."
It consists of a wo-den tripod about
eight fcot high, from which is suspen-
ed by moans ot compound pulleys an
iron oross-bar. From this cross-bar
straps desceud, which support the pa
tlent by tbo chin and back of tho head
Arm straps nro also added when the
palieut, instead of raising himself, U
pulled up by an assistant
The instrument, as originally de
vised, was used for tho suspension of
natlents while plaster laokots woro ap
plied to tho spino, but during tho past
low months, sinoo the experiments of
tbo celebrated Pro. Charoot, of l'iris,
have been mado known, tho apparatus
has been oxtensively used in tho Uni
ted States for the treatment by suspon.
sion of various organio and functional
spinal complaints and derangements of
tho nervous system.
On Sunday rooming Dr. Vinoent
rose early, as was his custom, and ar
ranged his linen for tho day wuh
minuto care. Then ba went to the
bath room and took bit bath, telling

an attendant that he was going to try
tho tripod suspension on blroselt to noto
Its clToots. Ho had also told two of
his patients who testified boforo tho
Uoronor s jury that ho was going to
mako suoh a test tho first opportunity
ho might have.
Aftor his bath ho was particularly
ohoorful and happy. Ho wrapped his
oain roue aoout, mm, and ran lightly
up ono night ot stairs to his office,
whore he had been using tho sayro in
strnmont on ono or two patients.
From this point It is all surmise. It
is supposed that tho dootor adjusted
tho bolt under or around his ohin,
whero it was loosely buckled. Then
ho lowered himself, and, losing his
hold of tho ropo, it How up to tho apex
of tho machlno beyond his roach, while
tho pad instead of resting on his ohin,
drew up owing to his weight over his
mouth and nostrils. Ho had a full
beard, and it is supposed that this also
tended to render him insensible by
helping to suffocato him. Everything
in tho arrangement of tho raachino in
dicated that this must have been tho
causo of his death.
He loaves a wifo and two sons. Ho
was reg.irde"d as a very nblo physician
and skillful surgeon, and was very
popular among his acquaintances. He
was thirty-seven years of ago. Tbo

This was the firl asntcnoo under tho

The fine weather in April has
brought up the carpets, and
house cleaning has begun in
earnest.
Eight at this point let us say,
that the walls and ceilings of the
cleaned room will need papering,
we are well fixed to show a fine
line of plain and ornamental
ceiling decorations as you might
wish to see.
Last week and this week have
been red letter days for wall
paper unci window curtains.
We have a window full of dado
curtains, and more patterns in
side which we can't show. We
trim square and hem curtains
any length; you select the shades
we make the curtains and hang
them, without extra charge.
