THE ladies of a church near Buffalo, N. Y., were anxious to raise funds to pay off the debt and to buy coal to keep the saints and sinners from freezing. So they got up a social and six of the pret­ tiest of them sold kisses to the men at 25 cents apiece. A big sum was raised, court excepting Justice Field concurred in the opinion, although Justices Harlan, Gray and Brown did not concur in one line of reasoning. The decision ©ver-c rules the decision of the Supreme Court of Nebraska, holding that Mr. Boyd was not a citizen and that Governor Thayer was entitled to hold over until a suc­ cessor had been duly electod. The main question was whether Mr. Boyd became a citizen of the United States without taking out naturalization papers, his father, a British subject, never having become fully naturalized, although he had declared his intention to take out the necessary papers. The son went to Nebraska when it was a Territory and was one of the foremost of the pioneers who developed it. rThree Men Hanged in Kentucky. / I WTLIIIAM PTTCKETT Was hanged at brine, Ky., for the murder of William 'Hall.

It is reported that there are thirty 6ases, although an official count gives only a dozen. This disparity is due to the fact that the Chinese conceal the presence of the disease as long as possible* as they dread medical treat­ ment by the whites. The quarantine officer refuses to permit six customs of­ ficers at the station to return to the city, holding that they would spread con­ tagion. Military still maintain their dead line and no quarantined persons are allowed near it. Six European pas­ sengers, who are confined with the Chinese, ar$ making great complaints over lack of suitable accommodations.

THE Louisiana lottery has thrown up the sponge and quit the fight. At least that is what John Morris and the people associated with him in the game de­ clare. Its present franchise expires in 1894, and a renewal will not be asked. This is all on account of tho recent Federal Supreme Court decision that the anti-lottery law is constitutional. IT is a strange story. Deputy Mar- shalls Burrell and Reynolds arrived in Atlanta, Ga., after a big haul in Rabun. The deputies raided three stills. Seven men were captured. While on the way from the place of capture to Gainesville Deputy Burrell followed some distance behind Deputy Reynolds. Reynolds had four of the moonshiners in charge and Burrell had three. Two of Burrell's prisoners were handcuffed together, while the third, John Lovcll, marched in front of Burrell. Suddenly two women sprang out from the bushes. One was aged while the other appeared to be not over eighteen years old. They were the deaf^and dumb sis­ ter and mother of young Lovel!. Mrs. Lovell quickly grasped Deputy Burrell around the body, pinioning his arms lo his side. Seeing the timely aid that was being rendered by the two women, Lovell, who was not handcuffed, broke for the woods. Reynolds shook Mrs. Lovell off and would have fired at the retreating moonshiner had not the deaf and dumb sister sprang directly between them.

Charles Hadden Spurgeon died. The English public generally manifests the deepest grief at the demise of the great preacher. In London the Chronicle appeared with a mourning border. It compares thq dead pastor to Martin Luther. The Telegraph characterizes him as a "great, fearless, and faithful minister."

The watch on the latter shouted to the Orissa, but got no response, and in a moment came a terrific collision which tore the masts out of the Orissa and brought down tho spars on the other vessel. It was a naTrow escape from total wreck. It will cost $10,000 to repair the Orissa. MARKET REPORTS. 4 H,-' POLITICAL.

Charles H. Spurgeon, pastor of the Lon­ don Metropolitan Tabernacle. Mr. Spur­ geon had long been a sufferer from gout, and about seven months ago his condi­ tion became so serious that even then his life hung iji the balance for weeks. Eventually his naturaiiy rugged consti­ tution overcame the disease so far as to permit of his being removed to Mentone, where he had been for some time. first the mild climate to which he had gone proved benefloial, and the famous preacher's physicians were beginning to look for their pastor's complete re­ covery. A few days ago alarming symp­ toms made their appearance. The rev­ erend gentleman grew steadily worse, and the end soon canie. Mr. Spurgeon was born at Kelvedon, Essex, June 19, 1834, and was educated at Colchester, Maidstone, and elsewhere, finally becoming usher in a school at Newmarket. Having adopted Baptist Tiews, he joined tho congregation which had been presided over by the late KoV ert Hall, of Cambridge. He subse­ quently became pastor at Water beach, and his fame as a preacher j-eaching o1> MPmt.'fc'Mti* en and Children, Followed by Wholesale Executions of the Barbarian*.

London he was offered the pastorate of the church meeting in New Park Street Chapel in Southwark. He first preached before a London congregation in 1853, with so much suc­ cess that ere two years had elapsed it was considered necessary to enlarge the building, pending which alteration he officiated for four months at Exeter Hall. The enlargement of the chapel in Park street, however, proved insufficient and hearers multiplied with such rapidity that it became expedient to engage the Surrey Music Hall, and Mr. Spurgeon's followers determined to build a suitable edifice for their services. The Metro­ politan tabernacle was accordingly built and opened in 1861, and ever since when the great preacher occupied its rostrum on Sundays there was present a congre­ gation averaging over 6,000 persons. Mr. Spurgeon once preached to a con­ gregation of 20,000 at the Crystal Palace near London. When, during the pro­ gress of repairs at his Metropolitan tab­ ernacle, he preached in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, his audience numbered bout 20,000 persons at every service. Connected with his church, outgrowths of its^energies, are the pastors' college from which several hundreds of young men have been sent out as ministers, and an orphanage which was begun at the instance of a lady friend who sent Mr. Spurgeon a check for $100,000 with which to begin it. About three hundred orphans are fed, lodged, clothed, and educated in this institution. With the exception of Mr. Gladstone he received the largest mail of any man in the three kingdoms. A great many of his letters from saildrs, from poor# fellows whom he had managed to help out of the gutter, were simply addresssed Spurgeon, En­ gland. To° these he replied cheerfully and was always ready to give advice. Nor was this all. He gave freely of his money. In fact, he was a poor man. If it had not been for the kindness of his congregation he would have been penni­ less. Eli person Mr. Spurgeon was short, thick-set, with a face by no means hand* some and markedly English in type. But he had kindly manners that rendered him agreeable to those who knew him. Though he had accomplished so much labor in his life he has been for years a frequent sufferer from rheumatism, a disease which troubled both his father and grandfather. In recent years, since ho had had much ill health, much of his parochial work has been undertaken by Mrs. Spurgeon, who is a devoted, unselfish woman, with a pleasant face and voice that win her friends everywhere. She is a ministering angel among the poor of the great city. In every respect she has proved herself a worthy helpmeet for the great preacher. Their twin sons--their only children-- are both engaged in the ministry. In a Heathen Land. A Shanghai correspondent give* de­ tails of a terrible atrocity committed by Chinese rebels on the border of Man­ churia, and of equally terrible punish­ ment inflicted by government troops up­ on the captured rebels. These rebels were led by Several Buddhist priests, and they were especially savage against native Christians. At one place they burned sixty children and butchered t nine Chinese nuns. At another they | cremated sixty men whom they impris­ oned in a barn. Their expedition were solely for plunder and without political purpose. Viceroy LI sent a large army against them, and their strength was broken. - Hundreds of prisoners were taken. The punishment meted out to the rebels by their conquerers was most re­ volting and the executions were con­ ducted on a wholeeale scale. Men were beheaded by hundreds, and entire trunks of trees were utilized as blGcks along which prisoners were ranged in lines and their executioners simply mowed off their heads when the signal was given. Generally in China the condemned are ranged in small knots kneeling before the executioner, but here the wretched miscreants were too numerous for the usual rules to be observed and they were seized by their queues by soldiers from the other side of the lately im­ provised blocks and their heads lopped off. They were not even tied and the headless trunks fell against the block or tumbled backward or to one side when tho fatal sword severed the neck. The heads were hung in long rows on poles as a warning to others, and in a short time Intense cold froze the bodies stiff, but not before camp followers and' ghouls had stripped them of every atom of clothing. The rebels, it appears, were mostly bandits, who roam the country just out­ side the walls of China. Last spring they joined forces and entered upon a regular plan of campaign of plunder. The most horrible atrocities were per­ petrated by these wandering" despera­ does. Eye witnesses state that almost the entire population of villages was cruelly maltreated and murdered. The burning of children alive, tho brutal treatment and murder of women, the carrying off of everything from tho homes of the wretched people, was the general line of conduct of these inhu-» man fiends. A case in point is the occurrence at a village called Kutulan, in the Jehol pre­ fecture, Manchuria. A band of 500 marauders swooped down upon this place in the dead of night, captured all whom they did not kill outright, and finally carried away with them all the women. Before going, they put sixty men in a large barn, securely fastened all places of egress, and set fire to the place. The shrieks of those being burned alive reached the ears of a few . persons who had escaped to the hills. The scene was frightful in the extreme. This, however, is only one of a dozen such incidents. The rebels raided and destroyed QJiris- tian and heathen villages alike, but to captives of the former places they acted in a particularly ferocious manner.

He who changes a confirmed inebriate into a reputable, rational, sgjl-respect- ing member ot society is worthy to take rank among the greatest benefactors of mankind. For his good work not only restores to usefulness a man whose time, energy and opportunities have been worse than mis-spent, but he confers the boon of pcace to many homes, the har­ binger of joy to many bruised hearts. Just such a benefactor appears to be Dr. T. A. Borton of Warsaw, Ind., and In the work of redeeming fallen men he has earned a heavenly crown of glory. Of scores of suffering persons, who have sought him out, not. one has failed to find complete and permanent relief, not one has relapsed into the drinking habit, an unbroken record of cures that has no­ where been equalled. ,, ,The "Borton Cure," as it Is becoming to be widely known, depends entirely for its reputation upon the unsought and willing testimony of those who have ex­ perienced the treatment. No attempt has been made to acquaint the public with its.merits, and it might almost en­ tirely have faiied to attract the attention of newspaper readers but for the fact that certain clergymen, who visited the doctor at his office, felt impelled to send to the Chicago Interior and other re­ ligious papers some accounts of the as­ tonishing things they had witnessed. Talijow, which has been Christian for two centuries, they massacred nine Chi­ nese sisters, nuns, and burned the or­ phanage, which contained sixty little in­ mates. Th'e piercing of the bodies of captives with heatet^ bayonets and spears, the gouging out of eyes, the dis­ emboweling or burying alive of victims, were among tho atrocities practiced by the'reb Is. One band is said to have been led by a huge amazon, who rode astride her horse like a man. It was re­ ported among her followers that she drank the blood of victims in order to maintain her courage. The suppression of the revolt is not entirely due to the (fforts of the-Chinese Government. It was really the extreme cold that had the most to do with it. The robbers could not stand the cam­ paigning in the winter weathor, and "hey retired to their strongholds in the hills. STATE EXHIBITS. X. A. BORTON, M.

Dr. Borton says of the ctiFe" that its discovery is the result of a long and pa­ tient study of the^henomena presented^ by the drinking habit, made for no other^ purpose than to find relief for certain noble and afflicted fellow-citizens of Plymouth, Ind., where he had practiced his profession for thirty-two years before removing to Warsaw. Among the earliest treated was a Plymouth butcher, whose shop was in a basement under a saloon. This man is a jolly German who drank for social reasons until the disease of alcoholism had mastered him. He has been com­ pletely and permanently cured to the as­ tonishment and delight of his family and -Mends. Just around the corner from the butcher is" a shoemaker, who had regu­ larly spent his hard earnings over the bar until his family was in sore distress. He had promised reformation again and again but as often had fallen. He came to Dr. Borton many months ago and soon the old desire for liquor was supplanted by a detestation that ho eloquently ex­ presses to all who will cross'; tho street from the Plymouth Postofflce and enter his neat and busy workshop. A brilliant telegraph operator had lost his place through drinking and had be­ come almost a tramp. He was cured and last week he visited Warsaw with his happy bride, proud to show to her the man who had redeemed him. These cases had been multiplied into scores before Dr. Borton was willing to permit the use of his name in connection with tho cure. He wanted first to sat­ isfy himself that he could, with an abiding confidence, announce to fallen men that there was relief at last at hand that would be effectual in all stages of the drinking habit. His general practice was large and very renumerative but victims of intemperance soon presented themselves in such number that he could not fail to extend to them all the Chris­ tian sympathy and medical aid that would surely lift them out of bondage into a life of hope and joy. The story is almost told. Since the beginning of tho present year ho has consented to devote all of his time^all of his skill, ail of his effort to this heart- work of rescuing fallen men. What will be his reward he cannot say, but if tho abandonment of his general practice will enable him to enlarge the usefulness of his cure, if many more shall b& led from paths that take hold on death to take their places again among their fellow men, their appetite for iiquor gone and full of the ambition of their youth, an ample reward will como in the blessings of re­ deemed men, in the joy of families re­ stored to happiness and in the love of children whose fathers have been new­ born into lives of affection. No man's monument will be higher, none more^ejn^ during. Tho citizens of Warsaw have known of Dr. Borton'and his work for a long time, and they are in hearty sympathy with him. The best homes In the city are thrown open for the reception of his patients and every effort is made to sur­ round them with influences of the right sort. They come to him in various con­ ditions and if they are nervous ho sup­ plies them with pure Bourbon whisky without the least fear of prolonging their sprees, for the appetite for liquor never outlasts the second or third day of treatment. It yields and for the first time in years the drinking man finds, to his great joy, that he cares for liquor no more. After that his stay at Warsaw becomes a pleasant relaxation from business cares. He presents himself to Dr. Borton four times a day for treatment and spends tho reSt of his time in the charm­ ing parKs, on the beautiful streets or on the three lakes'which almost touch tho city. In summer he is welcomed in tho pretty cottages by the lakes, ho may Skim over the waters in one of the grace­ ful steamers; bend his back in rowing or while away the lazy hours in fishing. In whatever relaxation he may engage he is sure to go to his home with pleasant meipories of tho pretty, hospitable lako- city, and of the Christian gentleman who presides at tho Plymouth Institute, as Dr. Borton calls his sanitarium. It should be added that Warsaw is situated at the crossing of the Pittsburgh. Fort Wayne and Chicago railway, and the Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan rail­ road. It is 108 miles east of Chicago, forty miles west of Fort Wayne, and 125 miles north of Indianapolis. ThaMttMonalSolontt* • ' '?

Many people, even among those who frequently make use of horses, have little idea what an ordinary horse weighs, and would have hard work to guess whether a given animal, standing be­ fore their eyes, weighed five hundred or fifteen hundred pounds. Yet they would have no such difficulty with a man, and would probably be able to guess, especially if they were good Yankees, within ten or twenty pounds of his weight. The governments of Europe have long been purchasing and weighing horses for the military service, and transferring them from carriage or draught employment to the various branches of the cavalry and artillery. The animals are ordinarily assigned ac­ cording to weight. The French military authorities find that an ordinary light carriage or riding horse, such as in the United States would be called a "good little buggy horse," weighs from ,380 to 400 kilo­ grammes--say from 850 to 900 pounds, Such horses as these are assigned to the light cavalry corps. The next grade above, which in civil life passes as a "coupe horse," or car­ riage horse of medium weight, ranges in weight up to 480 kilogrammes, about 1,050 pounds. This horse goes to mount the cavalry of the line. Next comes the fashionable "coach horse" of persons of luxury, which weighs from 500 to 58(1 kilogrammes, or from 1,100 to nearly 1,300 pounds. These horses go to serve the purposes of drill for the cavalry belonging to the reserve military forces. Above these there are still two grau©s of heavy horses. The first are those used for ordinary draught purposes and are commonly found drawing the omni­ buses of Paris. These weigh from 500 to 700 kilogrammes--1,100 to nearly 1,500 pounds. The heaviest horses are the Clydes­ dales and Percherons, which are oxen "fasize and strength, and which weigh frotn 600 to 800, and sometimes even up to 900 kilogrammes; that is, from 1,300 up to nearly '2,000 pounds. • None of these Percherons of the heaviest weight are employed in the military service; but some of the lighter ones are used for draught and artillery purposes^ About Men and Women.
