strained in private families.
For years the millionaire Herr

incaraceration of bis son in an in-
sane asylum. Through the affida-
vits of prominent physicians he
managed to evade the law which
forbids the keeping of lunatics and
imbeciles outside of the state or
private institutions. In a sudden
fit of anger young Aschoff grabbed
a large carving knife from the
dining-room table and stabbed his
aged father to death. The enraged
young man then attempted to kill
himself but only succeeded in in-
dicting some slight wounds as the
cries of the father bad brought the
other members of the family on
the scene who disarmed him and
prevented suicide.
Another scandal is reported from
the Rhine provinces where in a

A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE
With rhe departure of another year
when review is made of the condition of
affairs it is only riaht that some thought
be given to the physical body which en-
ables everyone to battle with life’s prob-
lem and figure for themselves the profit or
loss on the trial balance sheet. Though
the bank account tnav be large and each
one's material gain be great it would not
be surprising if it suddenly dawns upon
many that good health has been greatly
impoverished by the low condit on of the
blood. It Is in this state that the lactic
acid in the vita) fluid attacks the fibrout
tissues particularly the joints making
known the local manifestations of rheu-
matism. Thousands of people have found
In Hood’s Narsparllla the great blood puri-
fier a positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.
Santa Fe Gossip.
San Francisco Dec. 14.—The
sale of the Santa Fe railroad at
Topeka has occasioned a great deal
of gossip in railroad circles as to
the probability of the management
building from Mojavato San Fran
cisco. The scaling down of the
debt of the big corporation as evi-
denced by the price the property
brought at the foreclosure sale is
considered by competent judges as
placing it in a healthier financial
condition than it has been in the
past ten years. Ripley and Robin-
son are considered by local officials
as being in favor of making San
Francisco the west rn terminus of
the line as soon as practical. The
Sante Fe now has its passenger
and freight cars run into and out
of this city to Mojave by the
Southern Pacific in pursuance to
the traffic contract with Mr. Hunt-
ington. This contract gives the
Santa Fe the right to run its own
trains into San Francisco if it
wants to. It has never availed
self of this privilege however and
simply pays Mr. Huntington so
much per mile for all its cars the
Southern Pacific handles between
here and Mojave.

PREACHER ARRESTED.
For Slandering Mlle May the Fa-
mous Parisian Pantomumst.
Bridgeport Conn. Dec. 14.—
Just before starting for the regular
prayer meeting last uight Rev. Dr.
Joseph Pullman pastor of the
First Methodist church was ar-
rested in a civil suit for damages
of $25000 brought by Arthur
Rehan manager for Augustin
Daly of New York who has charge
of the starring tour of Mlle. Jane
May the French pantomimist and
comedienne. The allegation in the
writ is that Rev. Dr. Pullman in a
sermon Sunday December Ist
made the statement that a “low
down Parisian courtesan” had re-
cently exhibited at the Park City
Theatre and made other slander-
ous remake which have injured the
plaintiff.
The clergyman after his arrest
went to prayer meeting Sheriff
Beck accompanying him and re-
maining throughout the service.
After the meeting property bonds
of $25000 were given by fifteen of
the church members and the min-
ister was released from custody.
The case is returnable to the Janu-
ary term of the Superior court for
Fairfield county which comes on
the first Tuesday. Dr. Pullman
does not take the matter very seri-
ously but asserts that it is inspired
by malice on the part of certain
Bridgeport parties who bear him
ill-will.

How D.d It Come About P
I Aiderman Joe Devine whose
[blunt straightforward way of
| dealing with public questions has
i made him a sort of dangerous ma-
terial to handle visited the sewer
work on Navarro street yester-
day. Alderman Joe examined the
brick. He wanted to know what
all the white specks in the Mon-
terey brick meant if it was not
lime but Contractor Wilding as-
sured him it was harmless. Then
Aiderman Joe inquired: “How is
it that you are using Kampmann
brick now when it was not con-
I sidered fit for sewers.” Contractor
Wilding and Inspector Peters ex-
plained that the Monterey brick
was too hard and slick to use with
cement that it required a brick
that would absorb moisture to set
cement. “But” asked Aiderman
Joe “have you orders to put in
Kampmann brick?” Mr. Wilding
answered satisfactorily but Aider-
man Joe went away shaking his
head in a sort of quandary—he
evidently felt like the darky that
did not eat the ’possum but had
the ’possum fat on his lips and the
boues in his plate. Look out for a
council inquiry.
