SATURDAY, October 26, 1889. 
It has just been disbovered that under 
authority of an act of Congress passed in 
1866, the President can send “any number ” 
of friendly Indians to settle in the Chero¬ 
kee Nation until all the laud is taken up. 
It is said that if the Cherokees shall persist 
in refusing to sell the Chel-okee Strip to 
Uncle Sam. oil the tetms Offered* tbb Com- 
lnissionefs in charge of the matter, in order 
to bdlldo^e the recalcitrants, will strongly 
Ufgb that the Cherokee country should be 
bfanlnied with a motley swarm of strange 
aborigines.Last Monday, at Wilkes- 
barre, Pa., a lot of Hungarians, “just for 
fun,” fired at a passing 12-year-old boy, 
and fatally wounded him. They are now 
in jail for the joke. In their own country 
these ruffians would be shot down like the 
dogs they are, by soldiers for such an 
atrocity. Unless they receive exemplary 
punishment here Gatling guns will be soon 
needed to prevent them from giving vent 
to their brutal nature. Very little of the 
vaunted Magyar chivalry comes to these 
shores; but we get by far too milch Magyar 
ignorance, dirt and brutality... Last 
Tuesday was selected by the Adventists of 
Screamersville* Pa.* for the “ crack of 
doom*” and they put on their “ascension 
robes;" but there wasn’t a “crack.” A 
lot of other Adventists selected Friday, Oc¬ 
tober 25* for the “ Day of Wrath*” and un¬ 
disturbed by the failure of their co-relig¬ 
ionists’ expectations, got ready for flight 
into the “unknowable;” but not a toot of 
the Archangel’s trumpet was heard. All 
parties clung to their property, however, 
right along; not a neighbor got a chance of 
a bargain at a cent less than any article 
was worth even when the end of the wrnrld 
was expected next day.Letter-carri¬ 
ers throughout tne country are contribut¬ 
ing 82 apiece toward a monument to their 
warm Congressional friend, the late Hon. 
“ Sunset ” Cox.•_ 
After eight weeks and one day, a jury for 
the trial of the accused “ Cronin murderers ” 
was completed at Chicago last Tuesday. 
By the official count 1,115 jurymen were ex¬ 
amined and 915 were excused on one plea 
or another, no fewer than 175 were chal¬ 
lenged— 97 by the defence and 78 by the 
prosecution. With one exception every ac¬ 
cepted juror was born in the United 
States, the exception being an English¬ 
man; and with two exceptions all had 
American parents. All are Protestants. 
The jury is said to be a representative 
American one, and the members appear to 
be an intelligent and fair-minded body. 
The trial, which will probably last till 
about Christmas, began last Thursday. 
Sixteen indictments have been found 
against persons accused of having at¬ 
tempted to “fix” the Cronin jury in favor 
of tne defendants. There’s little moral 
doubt that Alexander Sullivan was the 
prime mover in the conspiracy; but legal 
proof is still wanted. “Alec” is a long¬ 
headed, shrewd, secretive fellow, with a 
mighty smart wife. He was tried for a 
cold-blooded murder a few years ago, and 
escaped, ’tis said, by getting the jury 
“fixed.”. 
Hearty ! 
The laborious and expensive efforts to 
establish a footing in popular regard, for a 
worthy commodity, are often indirectly 
supplemented by gratuitous testimony. 
When the genuineness of such tribute 
cannot be doubted, its influence exceeds in 
importance the costly repetitions of the 
most judicious advertising. 
In the science and art department of the 
Harrisburg (Pa.) Church Advocate, April 
11, 1888, may be found the following un¬ 
solicited endorsement of Drs. Starkey & 
Pai.en’s Compound Oxygen Treatment. 
“ In some experiments with ozone as a 
curative agent, an English lady, so far ad¬ 
vanced in consumption that her case ap- 
E eared hopeless, has been treated with in- 
alation of this gas, with results described 
as marvelous. After a month’s treatment 
the appetite was regained, the sleep calm 
and refreshing, and there was a very good 
prospect of recovery. The ozone was pre¬ 
pared by passing a stream of Oxygen 
through the current of an induction coil, 
and was administered with atmospheric 
air in the proportion of 1 to 5. The experi¬ 
menter has reached the conclusion that the 
ozone treatment is specially applicable to 
all germ diseases.” 
This instance needs no comment. 
Send for the brochure of 200 pages, con¬ 
taining the history of Compound Oxygen. 
It will be forwarded free of charge to any 
one addressing Drs. Starkey & Palen, 
1529 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa., or 331 
Montgomery street, San Francisco, Cal.—

FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, October 26, 1889. 
News from Japan tells of 685 cases of 
death and 121 of serious injuries during the 
floods of September 17. Over 1,000 houses 
were sw ept away and thousands of acres of 
crops destroyed. Incomplete returns show' 
that during 1889 72 perfectures have been 
devastated, 2,419 people killed, 155 wounded 
and over 90,000 people deprived of means of 
subsistence. More than 50,000 houses have 
been sw'ept away or submerged, 150,000 
acres of crops destroyed, about 6,000 bridges 
washed away and some hundreds of miles 
of road broken up. In proportion to its 
area and population Japan has fared much 
w orse even than China. 
King Louis of Portugal, a good man weigh- 
ihg 250 pounds, and in appearance not un¬ 
like ex-president Cleveland, died at the age 
of 57, on October 19, at Lisbon, with all his 
family around his bedside. His eldest son, 
the Duke of Brazanza, aged 25, has suc¬ 
ceeded him under the title of Carlos I. He 
was married on May 25, 1886 to the Princess 
Attlelie of Orleatis, daughter of the Compte 
de Paris, the Royalist claimant of the 
throne. Of France. The new' king is smart, 
well educated, a fair painter and “the best 
shot in Portugal.”. 
“ Reliable information ” from Emin Pasha 
and Henry M. Stanley is to the effect that 
they will both, together with several other 
white African travelers and adventurers, 
reach the eastern coast of the Dark Conti¬ 
nent in the latter part of next month. A 
world of informa tion and misinformation 
badly mixed has been given with regard to 
Stanley and Emin, too, on “ reliable infor¬ 
mation.”.Cordite is the name of 
a new smokeless powder equally fit for 
small arms and artillery, lately discovered 
by Lord Armstrong, in England. Unlike 
tne German “ smokeless ” explosive, this 
is absolutely smokeless, and the deadly 
fumes arising from the former are absent 
in “cordite,” Smokeless powder is abso¬ 
lutely hecessary with quick-firing guns, as 
with the smoke-mak ing kinds the gunners 
would be suffocated in clouds too dense to 
allow' them to see the efierny..., .The 
Sultan of Zanzibar has promised that all 
the children born in his dominions after 
January 1 next, shall be free. This is con¬ 
sidered a great concession by ordinary 
folks ; but anti-slavery fanatics insist that 
the despot should at once free all slaves big 
and little.Chili has passed a law' 
to go into effect on January 1, abolishing 
import duties on agiicultural tools and a 
large number of other articles useful in 
various industries.American wild 
turkeys have been successfully acclimated 
in large flocks in the forests oh the estates 
of Count Breuner in Austria, on the 
Danube. 
Servia has abolished all her consulships in 
Germania and entrusted all her consular 
business—to Austria ?—no: to Russia. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday October 26 1889. 
At the Annual Show of the British Dairy 
Farmers’ Association a trial was made of a 
new churn called the “improved patent 
churn for churning butter in vacuo.” It 
consists of a tinned cylinder of Bessemer 
steel 2)4 feet long, and nine inches in dia¬ 
meter, supported on four flexible legs. It 
has fixed on top an air pump which ex¬ 
hausts the cylinder after it mis been charged 
with cream, and is worked in a horizontal 
position : the benefit claimed for it is that 
no gas is generated, and that the concus¬ 
sion is greater. Owing to an accident, the 
machine did not fulfill the claims of the in¬ 
ventor, so that other trials may be required
