The average attendance has been 147; the average collection 84.50, thus amounting to 8232 for the year. A debt of thirty dollars has been paid, an addition of tlfty-two dollars worth of books made to the library, and over one ihundred dollars worth of litera­ ture. They have a neat sum with which to begin business for the new year. At a meeting of the Sundayschool lioard, Monday evening, the fol­ lowing officers were elected Yor the new year: Superintendent, H, B. An­ drus; 1st Ass’t. Supt., C. A. Hough: 2nd Ass't Supt., J. B.

The church choir has been invited to lead in the Sunday school singing. The superintendent was empowered to select teachers for the coming year. No man is too poor to take bls county paper, says an exchange, ano it is false economy to get along with­ out It. Hardly a week passes that some­ thing does not appear In the columns that will be a financial benefit to the subscriber, and by the end of the year he has made or saved from one to twenty times its subscription price. The city papers do not take the place of a county paper, although some people seem to think they do. The city papers are all right in their way, but they don’t glye you what you are most Interested in—your county news. You cannot learn from them when and where public meetings are to be held, who are dying or who marrying, who are moving In or who are moving out, court proceedings, who want to sell land, In fact hundreds of items which It might be of particular im­ portance for you to know.

NUMBER 20 OUR STATE AGRICULTURAL PAPBR We are pleased with the fact that Michigan has now an agricultural pa­ per that a is worthy representative of the.intelligent and important agricul­ tural community of our State. The old Michigan Farmer, under its pres­ ent management is making rapid strikes towards the top in the galaxy of agricultural literature of America. It Is most beautifully nrlnted on high grade paper, and employes the must eminent writers on the science and and bractice of Agriculture. Horticul­ ture, Live Stock, Dairying, Apiary and Poultry. Has a standard veterin­ ary department for free treatment of all diseases of farm animals. A legal and a medical department; contains all agricultural news of the country and afi Invaluable literary and household department every week. Admits no swindling nor immoral advertisements and Is. in fact, in every way, a great, sound, practical, agricultural, live stock and family journal, that the agriculturists of Michigan may justly feel proud of, and subscribe for with satisfaction and nroflt. Send your ad­ dress on postal to Michigan Farmer, Detroit. Mich., and a free specimen copy will come to you by next mail. It will be of interest to our dealers and to many of our readers who are users of that excellent article, N. K. Fairbanks Co’s Cottolene, to know that a recent decision of the United States circuit court of New York gave this company an injunction against another firm who were putting an imitation on the market under the name of “Cotoleo.” It seems to be the law that when manufacturers have educated the public to ask fora certain article by Its trade-mark name, they acquired the right to Insist that products faanufactured by others shall not be given to the public under that name. It Is Just that It should be so, for the benefit derived from such name can only be obtained by faithful service in furnishing articles of recognized value. Moreover, if the trade-mark name might be adopted by others, inferior articles might then be produced and sold under It, and thereby the value to manufacturers of the reputation uf the name used by them as a trade mark would be destroyed. ANOTHER “WHICH IB THE SWEETER." Everybody who obtained oar Great “Thanksgiving Offering,” the exquis­ ite water-color “Which is the Sweat­ er?” was delighted with It, but unfor­ tunately many did not know of it un­ til too late, and there has been numer­ ous enquiries as to how it can be ob­ tained. To -meet this demand we have made another arrangement with the publishers of this beautiful work of art so that anybody who failed to send for it before, can now secure one.

Emerald Mining in Colombia. Few persons who are familiar with emeralds in their cut and mounted state have any idea of the difficulties experienced by those who would traverse that part of the Andes where lie the celebrated mines of Muzo. Tbe scenery Is of extraordinary beauty, but In two days’ riding the traveler is obliged to follow some of tbe most dangerous mountain passes, and to make bis way over precipices where a single false step would dash him to destruction. The emerald mines lie In a basin surrounded by high mountains In tbe form of a circle. These mines are now the property of the government of Colombia, which rents them to a company employing five or six overseers and about 400 native workmen. Tbe means use! for working them is very primitive, but they yield every year a large amount of precious atones, which are immediately shipped to Europe. Tbe band of rock containing the precious crystals Is more than 1,000 feeltbigh. formed of Iron. Very few emeralds are found tn tbe blade stone, but by cutting down the face of the immense precipice veins of white stone are uncovered. This Is known ss caleltc. a crystallized form of carbonate of lime. The emeralds are sometimes Imbedded, and some­ times found in hollow cavities, and the work of cutting down tbe side of tbe rock is done by the natives, mostly with a crobar. A piece of rock a yard wide is selected’ running the whole length of the mine on the top. This la _ _ J____ •______ I. whole breast of the rock appear* to be a monster staircase. the broken rubbish haring been thrown down to the bottom of the precipice. running by means of sluices in a reservoir, as the alaices arc opened every fifteen »minutes the water is allowed to rush down the rocks with great force, the torrent clearing away all the broken stone thrown down by the miners since the last discharge.

Among the many jiecullar characters level oped In the early days of our na­ tional history not the least' singular Was the traveling preacher, who mln- PERFORMS A PLEASING DUTY. iztered to the spiritual wants of the ' •ettlera in the backwoods. He was a natural product of the times In which he lived and of the country in which his lot was cast He was lu the most emphatic sense of the word one of the people himself, for, In all probability, he had been bora and reared In the Im­ mediate neighborhood of his "circuit,” nine-tenths of bis auditors knew him from bls boyhood, and bls father and the rest of his family, and were pre­ pared to give bls pedigree back to the time when the family made Its appear­ ance In this country- Earlier than this few knew even their own family his­ tory, and nobody cared, for it was a veil-established social principle in the early days of the colonies that nobody • had a father until he came to America. and when be was here he was as good as anybody, If not a little better. The traveling preacher, or circuit rider, as he was generally called, was a man thoroughly and conscientiously devoted to bls calling. He always believed him­ self to be “called” to the work of the ministry, and, having this conviction, gave ujl everything else for Its sake. His worldly belongings, barring the wife and children, that always lived somewhere within die bounds of bis circuit, were generally limited to what h<* could carry in ills saddle-bags, and these usually coutalued a change of linen, a Bible, a hymn book. In those days called a “hime book,” and some­ times a lunch of chicken and corn bread, put up by a kindly sister at tbe last preaching place. He bad a horse, generally a good horse, for no other kind could stand the hardships of the journeys he had to make, and for his living he trusted to Providence and the people of the various "appointments" along bls route. And, ns a rule, he was as well cared for as the means of the people i»enuitted. for every family counted it an honor to have the preach­ er stay with them, and ns he was usu­ ally the bearer of news from one neigh­ borhood to another, 'he was always a welcome guest. His circuit was planned, partly by himself, partly by Ills ecclesiastical superiors, who laid out the general ground and expected him to add to the number of appointments or preach­ ing places as the membership Increased and the work broadened. Two preach­ ers. a senior and a junior, were usually assigned to each circuit, and the ap­ pointments for the two were arranged in such a way that the people of each station bad preaching every other week, nt least, or sometimes every week. The labors of these self-sacrificing men were by no means, however, confined to Bunday. They preached every day. sometimes twice a day, reaching one station at 9 or 10 in the morning, hold­ ing service, dining with some brother who lived near by. In the afternoon, riding on to another station, where an evening service was to be held, am! re­ peating this round week after week, month after month, during the year gras* of the wayfarer. When darkneo overtook the preacher on his Jour­ ney, and he could no longer discern the "blazes" on the tres, he trusted to the instinct of his horse, and when this fail­ ed, as it sometimes. though rarely, did, he was compelled to pass the night in tbo woods. If be had flint and steel be tnade a fire; if not, he sat down at th© root of a tree and held his horse until .morning. In rainy weather be was often compelled to swim the swollen streams that lay In his route, or make lohg detours In search of a place where the stream could be forded. Yet all these hardships, and more. Including sleeping In lofts where tbe snow drift­ ed in, in rooms where four beds were placed and the family all slept in the only room.tbe cabin afforded, and tbe annoyance of having absolutely no pri­ vacy but that of the forest during his Jourtiey from one appointment to an­ other, were cheerfully endured, and for no compensation save the consclous•ness of duty well done, and the pittance that the people were able to give In re­ turn for the services rendered them. Money In those times were scarce, and many an old preacher has been heard to teb bow In the early days of his min­ istry *he received but $23 or $30 from his people for a year’s hard work. But this sum did not really represent all they did for him, for bls entertainment was free wherever he went, and a pair of stockings here, a pair of shoes there, a wool hat or fur cap from one, a coat from another and a pair of Jeans trous­ ers from a third, eked out his scanty support very materially. Nor was this all. for on his “home round”—that Is, when on that part of his circuit tlint brought him toward home—he might be seen with a ham or flitch of bacon on one side of his saddle, a pair of chick­ ens or a wild turkey on the other, and. It may be a haunch of venison or a bag of corn in front, all the contributionsi of those who gave willingly of what they bad to give at alL These, with an occasional wedding fee, a sum varying from 25c to $1, paid by a youth In hisi first suit of ill-fitting store clothes, constituted his principal reliance for a livelihood.' His wife did her own work,, and her neighbors brought In suppliesi from time to time to help out the• preacher, so, on the whole, ho ‘livedI about as well as they. and. what wasi could be parted. The brethren united their forces, however, and by kicking one and half-strangling the other, gen­ erally accomplished the desired end In a few moments. When the church bad a floor raised a few feet from the ground, the space beneath was not in­ frequently used by vagrant swine as a place of temporary abode,’and when, as sometimes happened, tbe dogs took Into regular houses were built for service, however, the neighborhood was under­ stood to have advanced considerably on the road to refinement. “Quarterly meeting” at one of these wayside log sanctuaries waa a great occasion. The presiding elder was always there, with as many of the brethren as could be mustered. Long before the appointed hour for tbe service the roods were full of primitive vehicles on the way to the meeting house. Antiquated wagons, a man and his wife on the front seat, two or three wooden chain Just behind know much about the graces of oratory, but they did know all about the Bible, for It was the oue book that they con­ stantly read, and that they were thor­ oughly conversant with from cover to cover. A proposition was started, and Bible texts In confirmation of It were cited: If it could be proved from the Bible, well and good; If not. no matter what It was. or who stated it, it was rank infidelity, and the proposer was an Infidel. The nice distinctions of the higher criticism were unknown quanti­ ties; the preachers of those days knew nothing of the Javist, and the ElohisL Where the apostle affirmed "Wives, sub­ mit to your husbands.w they said tlmt It meant that the women should mind, and not cherish any ideas about being equal to the man and voting. They hat­ ed gold chains and rings, and silk dresses and boiled shirts and cards and fiddles and whisky, and all these tilings were, in their sight, almost equally abominable. A man with spot­ less linen was to them a dandy; a wom­ an with gold chains and jewelry was on the right road to perdition. Some of them preached against these things and denounced unsparingly all who favored them. Cards and fiddles were their pet aversion, and when, .as some­ times happened, a mischievous person went to a “protracted meeting” or a camp meeting with a fiddle or a Jug of whisky or pack of cards, tbe preachers were sometimes known to knock down and drag out the offender with as much energy as would bo shown by any shoulder-hitting son of Belial in the country. Their meetings did not lack for vi­ vacity from other causes. In those days no man stirred abroad without bis gun and bls dog, and a concourse of'people was the occasion also for a concourse of dogs. Generally curs of low degree, they had neither patience nor pedigree, and dog fights at meeting were matters of by no means Infre­ quent occurrence. When they took place outslde.'the curs were generally left to settle their dispute among them­ selves, unless it became too noisy, but when this occurred some man seated near the door and armed with a good­ sized whip, quietly slipped out to act os umpire, and a moment later a series of yelps, followed by silence, gave In­ dication that the war was over.

No cottage In this wilderness." The “meeting houses” where ho preached were as plain ns the people and the fare. In Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Southern States generally, the first “meeting houses” were of log$, and In a style of architecture that closely approximated that of the settlers' cabins. Where there were school houses these were used for religious purposes, but where there were none the cabins of the settlers were em­ ployed, and almost anyone, whether he was a member of the particular de­ nomination to which tbe circuit rider belonged or not, was generally willing to open his bouse for preaching. Where THE SISTERS AT THE CHURCH. anti] “conference” came, when the ap­ pointments were changed and tbe preachers went to new fields. Twenty •r thirty sermons every four weeks were tbe usual work, together with 200 or 300 miles of {he hardest kind of trav­ el. Of roods there were few, the trav­ eler being compelled to rely on bridle paths through the forest, and often on mere tracks aided by “blazes" on the trees, or pieces of bark chopped out, leaving u white place underneath, which could be seen at a considerable distance and materially aided the pro- for Invited guests, and the balance of the load made up of children packed In straw, were common, but more frequeent were the riders on horseback. They came in twos and threes, men and women, with children In front and be­ hind, and on arriving nt the grove in which the church was situated they tied the horses, not always far enough opart to prevent ov equine dispute, scattered ear-corn on the ground In front of them to be about equally di­ vided between the steeds and the strol­ ling pigs that Always Infested the neighborhood on such occasions, and men and w.omen separated Into groups. Down nt the always convenient spring the former gathered, the elders to smoke their pipes and ta-lk crops, their' juniors to discuss politics. In and about the church tbe old women talked butter and eggs, or discussed the attire of the one "worldly" girl sure to be found In every neighborhood, while their daughters sat silent, for It was a favorite maxim In those, days that young girls and children should be seen and nbt heard. A stir In the little crowd about'the door told of the arrival of the elder ami his brother circuit riders, for the elder was Just as much a circuit rider as the rest, except that his circuit was bigger, and a few of the nearest filed Into the church, whither the preachers had preceded them. The brethren said their prayers, took their scats, conferred among themselves in loudwhispers as to the order of service, and then some one struck up a famillar hymn. All Joined lustily, and the sound thereof, wafted out of the open windows and down the hill to the spring, notitled the brethren there that “luectln* had begun," and Induced an Instant suspension of crop talk and a stampede In tbe direction of the meet­ lug house. By the time the hymn was ended the house was filled and the reg­ ular service of the day began. There was preaching In abundance, for preaching was the main feature of the exercises. The preaching would hardly be acceptable In a $100,000 church nowadays, for It often happened that grammar and rhetoric were con­ splcuous by their absence, but there was always enthusiasm In any quantlty, and also plenty of Scripture. The old preachers of those days did not the early years of tbe nineteenth cen­ tury, the religious elegances of the present would have seemed just as In­ appropriate. The preachers and the singlug were to their taste. To them .he eloquence of a Talmage and the mu sic of a Handel would have been only words and noIse. They could under stand their preacher, and could sing their “hlmes," and were satisfied with both. To them separate hymn books would have been a superfluity, for many of them could not read, and oue hymn book, held by tbe preacher, who "lined-' the hymn, that Is. gave out two lines of the hymn nt a time for the peo­ ple -to sing, was enough for the whole (rongregatlon. The old preachers have mostly passed away, but the results of their works are seen in the thousands of churches that everywhere dot the country dis tricts, many of them on the Identical spots where The log cabins once stood that were sanctified by the presence bjkI labors of the early circuit riders. And the system - stilj continues, and some readers may be surprised to learn that many thousands of couqtry peo­ ple In the North, West and South have now no other religious services than those conducted by the circuit riders. The limes have changed for these, too, and now they wear broadcloth and ride In buggies instead of on horseback, to their appointments.

In his old life Roderick bad seldom thought of this. Now. when every' night he saw bis wife kneel down by her bed­ side. he bad come instinctively to kneel beside her, "saying Ids prayers," as the children do: or. rather, since with her always near him there seemed nothing left to pray for, just whispering in his heart, “Thank God!” As he did now— ay. and many a time in the day, in the midst of his work, which was not too pleasant sometimes. But it grew pleas­ ant and easy when there flashed across him the vision of the sweot face at home —no longer tbe ideal mistress of his dreams, but tbe dear wife of his bosom, always nt hand to lighten his burdens nnd divide his cares.

Tbe Census Office ha* made public a re­ port showing that the owners of farms and homes, regarded as substantially the landowners of the Unite*! States, own more than 90 per cent, of the wealth -*f the country. Of the white owners and tenant heads more than 51 per cent, nre owners; of the negroes, more than 17 per cent; of mixed white and negro parent­ age, 25 per cent.; of the Indians. «3, nnd of the Chinese and Japanese,’ 14. The white owner* of farms and homes that are free from mortgage form 71 l>er cent, of all white owners; of negroes, 80; of those of mixed parentage, 87; of the Indiana, IMS; and of the Chinese nnd Japanese, 97 per cent. Tlie fterceutagea of ownership are slightly higher for women than for men, and free ownership is also higher among women except with the Indiana and Chi­ nese and Japanese. The results for farm properties show that 72 per cent, of tbe whites are own­ ers, 21 of the negroes, 29 of those of mixed blood, 79 of the Indiana, aud over 10 per cent, of the Chinese and Japanese, while for home 39 per cent of the whites nre owners, more than 15 of the negroes. 23 of those of mixed blood, 53 of the Indiana.' and 14 of the Chinese nnd Jai>aneae. The white farmo'wncrs who arc free from mortgage are 71 per cent, of all white owners; negroes. 90; those of mixed par­ entage, 89; Indians, 95; and Ciiiuesc au-1 Japanese, 87. The corresponding figures for homes are nearly tbe same. In the fifty-right cities of 50,000 popu­ lation and over almost 25 per cent, of the white proprietors are owners, nnd uot quite 0 per cent of the negroes. For farms and homes 53 per cent, of the native proprietors are owners; from Austria-Hungary, 41 percent.; from Can­ ada and Newfoundland (English), 47; from Canada and Newfoundland (French),* 81; Wales nnd England, 46; France. .47; Germany, 52; Ireland, 44; Italy. 15; Nor­ way, Sweden and Denmark. 61: Rnaata, and Poland. 31; Scotland. 45. nnd from all other countries, over 47 per cent. • The native farm proprietors are exceed­ ed in ownership by the native® of all • f these countries except Italy, whose per­ centage for native owners is CD. and for the Italians 63. The highest percentage is 87, for the Irish. Ownership is more prevalent among native than Riaong forcign-born proprietors in the cnib of homes than it is among farm proprietors. Of the native proprietors of homes 41 per cent are owners, and the lowrst percent­ age representing the ownership of homes for places of birth is 12, for fie Italians. The ownership of homes Li the fifty­ eight principal cities is nearly as great among the foreign born as among the na­ tives. Among the native home proprie­ tors in these cities 23 per cent, are owners. The highest percentage is 32, for the Ger­ mans, and the lowest G, for tue Italians. The result of the inquiry as to nativity of parents of the white native farm and home proprietors shows that for farms and homes 55 per cent, of the proprietors have both parents native born and owners nnd 43 per cent, those who have one >ir both parents foreign born. The percent­ ages for farm owners having both pa­ rents native born is 69 aud in the case of homes 42 per ceqt. The total for both sexes and for farms and homes shows that of the proprietors under 25 years of irs while the forests still smoked came swarming to the Interior Department to get the dead trees in thrir clutches.

WHEAT AS FEED. Some States Disposing of Fully Half Ihc Crop in That Manner. The Farmers' Review says: Reports bare l>crii received by the Review from correspondents in Illinois, Indiana. Ohio, Michigan. Kentucky, Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas on the extent to which wheat Is bring fed to ent tie. In some parts of Illinois wlieat has been fed large­ ly, csjieciiilly where markets are not easi­ ly reached, or where other feed crops are short. In other parts less has lx-cn fed than in some other States, apparently because no other form product is found so salable. Ro a good ninny counties rc-port little or no wheat bring fed. Indi­ ana is feeding probably a little larger pro­ portion. and in some of the counties a thinl of the crop will be disposed of in this wny. Ohio is feeding the crop freely nnd in localities more wheat than corn is bring fed. Over a large part of the State, half of the crop will be marketed in the form of live stock, and there arc counties where tbe projKirtiou nf the crop fed will not be less thnn 70 per cent. In Michigan the amount fed varies great­ ly, some counties feeding none and others nearly all of tbe wheat crop. Kcports of 30 aud 40 per cent, bring fed are quite common. Kentucky reports largo quantities bring fed, nnd some coun­ ties will dispone of half thrir crop. Mis­ souri reports a like comlition. Kansas nnd Nebraska nro feeding very largely, the low price making it a very economical feed. lu some counties in Iowa it is being fed largely, even up to half of the crop, but in other counties it is receiving little attention rih a feed.

Hill shook hand* Thursday night in the While House. J'hen the President and the Senator sat down to dinner, and af­ terward they went to the smoking-room, where the President enjoyed his cigar while he and the Senator, who have been estranged so long, chatted as they used to chat when they were first elected Gov­ ernor and Lieutenant Governor of the Bute of New York. That was year* ago —some thirteen years ago. AH Wash­ ington is buzzing. Everybody is asking what it means; and nobody knows. It has been more thnn thirteen month* since Senator Hill crossed the threshold of the White Hotpo.'

Pierpont Morgan, tbe famous New York banker, aud some of the other gentlemen who were taken into the President's confidchce last fail concerning an issue of bonds have been making a secret visit to the White House on an important errand. They asked the removal of John G. Carlisle for the reason that he has demonstrated his unfitness to manage the finances of the country vand that bis continuance in office will imperil the public credit and retard improvement in the financial condition of the country. Mr. Morgan and his Asso­ ciates also endeavored to ascertain where the President stands with regard, to the currency bill now under consideration by the llouse of Representatives. President Cleveland is said by those who associate with him to be very angry at this demand of the New-Yorkers for Carlisle's head. He is exceedingly in­ dignant that a coterie of bankers should have the effrontery to poke their noses into the administrative affairs of the government, demanding the dismissal of an official whom the President has hon­ ored with his confidence. It is pretty cer­ tain that they got no satisfaction. It may be confidently stated that the Presi­ dent declined to ask for Mr. Carlisle's resignation, but hp is believed to have promised to look after the finances him­ self during tbe remainder of his adminis­ tration. It is known and admitted that the President informed Mr. Carlisle of "Terrible destitution exists ia Perkins, Chase, Dundy, Lincoln, Hayes, Hitch­ cock and Frontier Counties, and the worst feature of it is that the people ia several localities arc afflicted with scurvy for want of wholesome food. The State Relief Committee finds itself unable to relieve all the people iu distress, so great is the demand for aid. Raiiroad men re­ port that since the cold snap no less than a dozen people perished in the above coun­ ties in the past two days for want of food and fuel." Hundreds of families are without coal, and in the border counties, where no trees or brush exist, tbe poor people will have a hard time to keep from freezing to death. In Perkins County tbo destitu­ tion is complete. Over GOO families are appealing for help. In Hitchcock County tbe wife of a set­ tler gavi birth to twins during the storm, and before neighbors could reach her home the^oor woman expired for want of sufficient food and attention. Tbe twins are still living and in charge of charitable neighbors. North Platte reports thnt there are many cases of suffering and hunger Among drought sufferers iu Lincoln and Logan Counties. Overseers of the poor state that unless aid comes from outride there will bo many deaths from hunger and want of clothing this winter. “The State Relief Commission has fifty families on its list as needing assist an co and most distressing reports come hi from all over the western pnrt of the State relating to woful lack of food and cloth­ ing,” says a Lincoln dispatch. "No deaths certainly attributable to starvation are yet reported, although it Is claimed that a wo ma and two chil­ dren found dead in a cabin near Niobrara the morning before Christmas died from lack of food nnd care. Coal is most need­ ed and Mr. Ludden, of the State Relief Committee, and General Manager Holdrodge, of the Burlington nnd Missouri 'River Railroad, are doing everything in their power to forward supplies to the more destitute localities. Very few fann­ ers in the border counties hare any stock left, having let cattle and horses roam at large. Tbe people are living in covered wagons by hundreds rather than face starvation and freexe to death.. More or less destitution exists in every county, from the Colorado line cast to Hall and Adams Counties, and the various relief committees, although overwhelmed with applications for aid, are doing all they can to relieve the distress.” STRONG IS NOW MAYOR.

Mr. Morgan's errand nnd repented much of their conrcrsntlon to him, but Mr. Cnrllsle's private secretory snitl thnt his resignntlou would not be nsked for nnd thnt he would not voluntarily tender It. Whnt explanation the President may have given Mr. Morgan ns to his attitude concerning the currency bill is unknown, nnd be is no more communicntirc thnn n sphinx on the subject to tbe members of his cabinet. One of them, who is opposed to the bill, said to-day that the measure had never been discussed in cabinet-meet­ ing, and all he had to go upon was the concluding paragraph of the recent mes­ sage, which, in general terms, indorsed the recommendations of the 8ec*tary of the Treasury, aud urged the necessity of some kind of revenue reform. He had not heard the President say n word on the subject since, and could not say whether he approved the pending bill, but It was nt least inconsistent with his previous ideas and public utterances on the sub­ ject of sound money. Nor was the. [lend­ ing bill nn exact formulation of the sug­ gestions in the treasury report, so that it could not be assumed the President was committed to it. He doubted the report that Mr. Cleveland intends to send a spe­ cial message to Congress on the subject. He had not heard of any such intention nnd was inclined to believe the contrary. He Becomes the Executive Head of For the first time in twenty-two years a Mayor not of the Democratic faith is at the head of the New York city govern­ ment. William L. Strong, who was on T u <• sday inducted into the office, rep­ resents much the same conditions and social elements that asserted themselves in 1872 in the eleva­ tion of William F. Unvemeycr to tpe Mayoralty. In both instances there was a revolt against mu­ n I c ipal corruption. Upon both occasions public sentiment was crystallized through the medium of a committee of seventy, the main purpose in 1S72 being to overthrow the Tweed regime, and in 1S94 to correct abuses, known or suspected, in the police and oth­ er departments of tbe city government. The exposure ot the practice of levying blackmail by the police, particularly upon tbe criminal classes of society, who, in consideration of their payments of money, were granted immunity from nrrest, was primarily the work of the Society for the Prevention of Vice, which procure.! tha appointment of the State Senate Commit­ tee which baa become famous under tha PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT. name of its Chairman, Mr. Lexow.

Hint not a few people, have the Idea that a little knowledge, iracquired by the reg­ ulation method, Is prcfemblp to no end of learning picked up helter-skelter; or. In other words. It Is'better to be’ a blockhead by rule than a wise man by Imp-hazard. This opinion once thor­ oughly understood, fully accounts for the immense number of institutions which propose to tench anything that the human mind Is capable of grasping The principle Is. If anything is worth "knowing, it Is worth learning lu a man­ ner ot once business-like.anil as thor-ougbly systematic ns befits tiie spirit of the age. For this Is the age of system, and whether the knocker at the gate nf wisdom ;.ro|»oses to teach the young ideit how to shoot or designs to prepare the food that gives tiie young idea strength to do the shooting, it is all one; a course of preliminary training must be undergone before the thing can be ■understood to have been done in conso­ nance with the eternal canons of art, •or. to put the matter more familiarl..*, “according to Gunter." At bottom the idea is not bad. for If a thing Is capable of being learned at all. It Ih best learned under the Instruction of those who know all nbout It, and there Is no earthly rea­ son why there should not be education­ al establishments where young women can be instructed in the duties that they are expected to perform when engaged in the various occupations incidental to housework, ajid the Kt. IxjuIs Globe­ Democrat is of the opinion that if no young woman were allowed to be mar­ ried until she had been through a course of training preparatory to housekeep­ ing. particularly of cooking, the amount of domestic misery would be lessened 25 per cent: In a single generation. In the matter of bread, for instance, the possibilities of the staff of life in breeding domestic strife nre innumer­ able. A young wife, ignorant of the mysteries of bread manufacture, may snake up her mind to a married life of misery, for the reason that no husband, no matter how devoted be may believe himself, can retain his devotion for any considerable length of time If reg­ ularly furnished with heavy bread. Hn may try. For a time he may succeed. Morning,after morning he may worry •down the soggy mass In the hope Hint nature will be good to him and by the kindly operations of her mysterious lal*oratory remedy the deficiencies of his wife's knowledge. Nature, thus ad­ jured. falls to and dues the Itest she -can. but sooner or later, generally the former, throws up the Job iu despair, and admonishes him that there must be a change. Often he does not know what Is the matter with him. He be­ comes. cross, surly; is guilty of that most grievous and unforgivable of all offenses In married life, ‘‘talking back" to his wife, and she. poor thing, thinks he has ceased to love her, an dagoes to her room and cries about the "change, when It lx only^ln accordance with the order t>f nature.

No cook who does not prepare food for a restaurant or hotel can expect to keep in her kitchen the Impedimenta which constitute the stock in trade of the pro­ fessional trainer of cooks, and Lt Is with reason therefore that not a few of these Instructors in the art pt catering to the wants of the Inner man have discarded !l c array of Implements which, to the 1‘eglnner, is as terrifying ns the display of a dentist's case of tools, and have re­ stricted their efforts to showing what inn.lx? done with a frying pan. an egg l»eater. bake oven and a coffee pot. The move is in the right direction, for If a y nung wife am be trained In the correct use of these and a few more equally simple pieces of kitchen mechanism, there arc good hopes that her husband will escape being driven to drink In the hope of finding relief from the miser­ ies of her cooking. For bad bread Is not the only article that Is able, when taken into the hu­ man system, to Induce the belief that 1 life Is not worth living. There, for In­ stance, is the potato. This savory es­ culent. highly nutritious when pre­ pared by bauds skilled in arts culinary, becomes a potency for evil should the presiding^genins of the range and saucepan be inspired with the Idea that potatoes can be cooked ‘‘anyhow" and still be good. Furthermore, there Is a l»ct superstition that potatoes boiled or baked and left over from one repast can be made equally savory and nour­ ishing by the simple process of slicing them, mixing them with some descrip­ tion of grease and frying them until they are as tough as disks of leather and quite ns digestible. The potato, like the oyster, must be jterfectly fresh to be eatable at all; and then again, like the oyster, must be prepared In the simplest possible manner. All the arts of the cook school professor can not make potatoes fried in grease anything but insults to the digestive apparatus, and although there are human ostriches who can swallow fried potatoes, and glass, and horseshoe nails, and hot bis­ cuits, and marbles, and fur the moment wbk-K In th.

Nor should the pastry be forgotten. The pie, like the hoopskirt, and the roller skate, and tiie ladles* sewing society, is a product of the highest civilization, for the mon­ strous messes dignified In ancient culinary art with the name of pies Hbar no more resemblance to the delicate drcam ot the kitchen which now ap­ propriates the imine than a wash boiler bears to a steam engine. But there nre pies und pies, and the flaky pasty cir­ cle which covers but does not quite con­ ceal the fruit beueatb is quite a differ­ ent thing from that nightmare with crust'of caoutchouc, nn underlying alrutum of half raw dried apples and e foundation of soft dough. The pie, however, like woman suffrage and diphtheria, lias come to stay, and the best that can be done is to manage that us little harm as jtossible will re­ sult from It. The cooking schools can do 'this if lite professor., will direct their attention to the solution of the problem, and when they do the gener­ ations of men who have suffered anx­ ious days and sleepless nights, who have become convinced that they hud heart disease and pleurisy and con­ sumption, who have fancied that they wen* going to lose their positions and their money. all on account of Indiges­ tion chargeable to pie,, will rise up and call them blessed. But there arc other miseries of domes­ tic life that the cooking and iionsekeejtllig schools should be able to mitigate it not entirely to abolish. There, for in­ stance, Is the sweeping, to say nothing of the dusting. Humanity is progress­ ing so rapidly along the lines of solid improvement that it Is possible to con­ ceive of a time in the not distant future when a house can be swept from cellar to gnrret without stilling the Inmates with the dust; when a doorway can be cleaned without broomfuls of rubbish being tired from ambush on the unsus­ picious passer-by; when a rug or floor cloth can be cleansed without shaking it out of an upper window and allowing Its accumulated treasures to fly Into the open rooms beneath; but humanity has not ns yet. apparently, gone so far. Nor. up to the present time, has the average feminine mind been able to conceive that on a man's desk them may be order in the midst of apparent confusion. The zeal for “putting things straight" in not a few cases amounts to a mania, and when a woman turns her­ self loose in the presence of a table or desk covered with books, papers, man­ uscripts and memoranda, she is in her element It Is true that the proprietor of the desk may tie compelled a little later to search an hour for a paper no needs Immediately, but that is nothing to her; the desk has been “straightened up so as to look decent," and this, of course, is the main object Tor which a desk was created. A schedule of stud­ ies for a housekeeping school should contain a special course on this line, and by impressing on the minds of stu­ dents the fact that when a man can find whnt he wants to him Uls desk is in per- band's linen duster loosely fitted to her fragile form, and her husband's last summer's straw hat mounted above her brow, with a brush in one band, a dust pan In the other, she bustles about from room to mom. giving directions ns to how things must be done. JThe spot of soot on her hose is a trifle; in vain does hpr husband protest; the house "has got to be cleaned, and that settles It." So on she goes In her mad career, with bitterness.in her heart, with a pain In her back that makes it feel like it would break, with a certainty that slits is destined to |m* ‘'laid up’’ on the morrow, and yet with a grim determination that the house shall Im? dean, though hus­ bands rage and imagine vain things. She knows her business. Other women clean house, so must she. The fact that SAMPLIXti the sorr. the house needc no cleaning Is not of the sijghtestconsequence; the motions must be gone through with If for no other reason than to teach the tyrant man that there are times and seasons when tiie down-trodden wife, like the crushed worm, will turn and assert her su­ premacy. So in many directions there nre fields of usefulness open to the University of Housekeeping. Departments of wash­ ing. scrubbing, sweeping, ironing, linen­ folding. will doubtk-ss l>e ns useful In their way os those of the various branch­ es of culinary art. Above all. there should be an especial professorship es­ tablished lu each to give Instruction in the art of doing all these things In sucn a way ns to cause the lord of the manor to be not sorry that he is still living. To him the yarious operations connected with the”management of the establish­ ment are a weariness, but that fact does not in the least interfere with their regu­ lar order.' so that his Insignificance on high and mighty occasions such as house-cleaning time is painfully prom­ inent. Any relief that could be fur­ nished him by the housekeeping col­ leges would cause millions of his kind tn shower down benedictions ou their roofs. - Man Always a Carver. History does not treat of a time when carving was not apparently well known. Tradition does not appear to approach much nearer to Its genesis. Carvings were well executed during the i>erlod of man's early occupation of the caves of Europe, and most per­ sons who have familiarized themselves with archaeological research knew the figures of fish or seal engraved on the canine teeth of large carnivora, and the t>ear, reindeer, muskox, horse, mam­ moth and other animals carved on rein­ deerhorn implcjncuts or on plates of ivory, the figures of animals being at the time cut fully In the round and found Id the lowest strata of the caves, under many feet of cave earth and stalagma, and associated with the bones of a quarternary and. at times, an arctic fauna. The similarity of much of this cave work with much of the Eskimo production of the present day lias given rise to innumerable theories concerning a common origin for both peoples.—The American Autliropolo gist. • A nig Plow. MEASURING AND WEIGHING THE VICTUALS. seem to take no hurt, their fate is but deferred, for nature, though long sufferlng, neither forgets nor forgives. There can be no denial, therefore, of the fact that the limits of the cooking school's usefulness are practically boundless, for besides bread and pota­ toes there Is coffee, which can be made a drink fit for the gods, but in the or­ dinary household is simply a hot. black, bitter liquid, which bites the tongue and scalds the throat and in so doing confers a benefit, as thus the sense of taste is blunted to that extent that the drinker can not tell what the potation resembles. And there Is beefsteak, । feet order, although to others it mat seem In hopeless confusion, they will confer a favor of no little magnitude on a host of mpn who keep desks and like to have them remain undisturbed. The relation of house-cleaning to domestlc comfort is a subject which might profitably find a place in the list of domesdco-economic studies. There are probably few boys in the land but who, when in gladsome spring they beheld an- array of buckets and scrubbing brushes on the back porch, have hidden their caps under their jackets and sur­ reptitiously hied them away for a day's fishing, counting the thrashing upon Tiie largest plow in the world, per­ I haps.

In Homer’s days the Greeks were purely flesh-eaters; but a few centuries itefore Christ we find the Athenians such thorough fish-enters that, instead shaking of the morning meal or mid-day meals as wre do, they spoke of their mid-day fisb or evening fish, Just as the North German speaks of his mid­ day bread or his evening bread. GOV. ALTGELD'S MESSAGE. Hays the Machinery of Jnoticc Was Made the Tool of Corporation*. Governor Altgeld's biennial message was trnnsmitted to the Illinois General Assembly on Thursday. The atewutg? is an exhaustive one. containing nearly 25.­ 000 words. The first half of the message is devoted to the details of State institu­ tions. The other half treats of the labor troubles. The situation in Chicago and elsewhere during the railroad riots is re­ viewed. and the Governor attempts to prove that.the State militia were thor­ oughly competent to handle any uprising that might take place. He asserts that the President and Mr; Olney were in­ duced to send troops f>y ful^- representa­ tions of trouble; that the (tending of troops before the strength <»f the State had bean spent wns a perversion of the constitu­ tional prerogative; that most of the trou­ ble arose after the troops arrivotl; thnt it was quelled by the militia; and that even at its worse it was no more disastrous than the riots in Buffalo und Pennsyl­ vania, in which the Goreniment did not dare to interfere. The power which Mr. Cleveland exercised^ Mr. Aitgeld says, was no more than Emperor William and the Czar of Russia claim for themselves. The judges of the United States courts come in for a vicious scoring. They arc denounced o» usurpers. The Governor de­ clares that their punishment for contempt is not only unconstitutional, but that it violates the usage ot years. He asserts that an attempt is on foot to Russianize the Go'ernmenU that the foundations of the state ’are undermined, thnt we arc tending toward n "cruel oligarchy op­ pressing the spiritless poor." "The constitution divides the powers of government into the. legislative, judic­ iary and executive, and contemplates that no two pf these slinil be lodged in the same person, but during the last two years the people of this country have re­ peatedly witnessed the operation of nn entirely new form of government, which wns. never before heard of among men »in either monarchy or republic—that is, government by injunction whereby a Federal judge, not content with deciding controversies brought into his court, not content with exercising rite judicial func­ tions of government, proceeds to legislate und then nrlnntii->trate. He iunefl n ifkase which he calls an injunction forbid­ ding whatever he pleases and whnt the law does not forbid, and thus legislates for himself without limitation." Governor Aitgeld dismisses as a stale pretense the contention that the Federal judges base the injunctions on the inter­ state commerce law. • This act he de­ scribes as "as harmless as a dead rabbit." so fnr ns it regulated or controlled the railroads. He declared that the Federal judges proceeded to hold section after section of the law to be* uncoustitutionnl so far as it affected the roads. "Then." he continues, "after having thus nullified an act of Congress intended for the pro­ tection of the people, they turned around and made of it a club with which to break ' the backs of the men who toil with their ! hands—men whom Congress did not | think of legislating against.” The Governor also has something to । any about the control of railroads by the Federal courts when receivers have bebn apixdntcd by those courts. "Anything done to the railroad is treated as con­ tempt of Court," he exclaims. “If you commit nn offense against a railroad that is in the hands of its owners you will be prosecuted in the county where the of-'( fense is committed ami may be sent to the penitentiary. But if you ‘tread on the grass’pr throw a stone on a railroad that has been robbed by speculators and then put into the hands of n receiver to frccau* out stockholders you will Im* guilty of con­ tempt of some court sitting several h'Wi- ; dred miles away, and you will Ih* liuhle to be carried thither, there ti? be tried, not by a jury but by that court whose awful dignity you have offended. It is iti connection with these bankrupt roads that most of the outrageous injunctions wore issue*) during the last two years." The question of Fresidcut <'lcre!and's authority to send Federal troops into the Stato of Illinois is debated briefly. Gov. Aitgeld declares that Mr. Cleveland's ncti<ai was an entirely new departure in the history of our Government and a vio­ lation of the Constitution ns it has been understood for a century. "The old doctrine of Slate rights is in no way involved,” declares Gov. Aitgeld. [ “Nobody for n moment questions the rnpremacy of Jhe Union. But it does in­ volve the question whether, in connection with Federal supremacy, there does not go hand in hand the principle of local self-government.

Cmtrler Hi* Life in Arizuna. “Talking of Indians and their strata­ gems," said D. A. Marston, lately of the United States cavalry, to a New York Sun man, “they are ]>avt masters of the art* of skulking and deceiving. An Apache will lie behind a soapweed on the open prairie, and you may ride past two or three hundred yards away and never have an idea that there Is a red­ skin within fifty miles of you, unless be decides to risk a shot at you. As you pas* the soapweed he works his body around so as to keep it always in Hue with the plant and you. Even on the open prairie, with no more shelter than that afforded by some little inequality of surface, he will sift dust over his body,-flatten himself out, face down­ ward, against the ground, and. lying as motionless as a stone, will escape the observation of any except sharp and practiced eyes, Sometimes, in a grove of cactus or Spanish bayonet, his buckskin garments blending with the hues of the plants, bis face nnd nock concealed by tl»e head of a Spanish bayonet, he will stand like a post. Indis­ tinguishable to the Inexperienced eye, even nt close quarters, from the gro­ tesque plants about him. A queer ex­ perience of this kind occurred to me in my service iu Arizona during Gen. Crook's last campaign against the Apaches. Tom Merriam, of my troop, and myself were detailed to carry dis­ patches from Camp -Bowie to Camp Grant, up on the Rio Benito. It was a dangerous service nt that time, and we had to keep a sharp lookout nnd be ready to fight or run at a moment's no­ tice, fgr there was no knowing at what point on the route the Apaches might uot be lying In wait to jump us ns we came along. We were on oUr return to Comp Bowie nnd had Just crossed tire wooded canon where the cold spring Is and were coming out upon tire open prairie that stretches down to the San Pedro River when through the branch­ es of a low tree I saw what I took to.be nn Indian ou the plain, nbout a half mile ahend. But on spurring my horse forward so as to got n better look noth­ ing was to tie seen but the bare prairie, with no sign of mnn or beast upon its expanse. As we rode along I spoke of the matter to Tom, who laughed nt what he called my scare, which he said caused me to see imaginary Indians. We came opposite a low. gray boulder upon the prairie 200 paces or so from thejrall. " 'I don't remember ever to have secu that rock before,’ said Tom. who had been over the route several times. ‘How In the devil did It get there? I’ll ride over and take a look at It!’ And he reined his horse nnd rode toward the object I followed him, a few yards behind. "His horse had scarcely taken a dozen steps when (lie seeming gray rock moved slightly upward nnd there came from its lower edge a flash and report, with the scream of a big caliber ball that flapped Tom's coat with Its wind, and caused his horse to plunge so sud­ denly that Torn, one ot the best riders in the troop, not being ou the lookout for such a happening, was thrown. At the same Instant an Apache leaped fr«am beneath the gray blanket that had served him to masquerade ns h boulder, and ran like a deer for the canon, leap­ ing to left and right as he wont to avoid the shots that Tom and I sent after him from onr repeating carbines. We knock­ ed up the dust about his feet and made him do some tall dodging to the whist­ ling, of our bullets, but that wns all. for we didn't hit him. To have chased -him would have been folly, first, be­ cause we were bearing dispatches In haste and needed the last ounce of re­ serve force In our horses, and. secondly, because with the start he had we should not have overhauled him in bta run for the canon, into u;hlch we could not have I followed him. So we took the trail again and rode our way with another wrinkle added to our expedience of ind!an trickery and cusseduess." A Life Insurance Scheme.

Ro porta Made at tho Mooting of th« Lanhino. Jan. 16.—In his annual ad­ dress Tuesday President Coombs, df the Michigan State Millers’association, said Michigan millers were suffering from the low rates from the west, and that the all-rail rates of lost No­ vember had caused them to sell their produce without profit and in many cases at an actual loss. Secretary Reynolds reported that for 1894 the price of flour averaged sixty cents per barrel less, and the price of feed a few' cents per ton more than in 1893. Offi­ cers were elected as follows: President. W. A. Coombs, Coldwater; vice presi­ dent, R. T. French, Middleville: secre­ tary and treasurer, M. A. Reynolds, Lansing. The weekly reports show that the association hasduringthe year shippe'd 530.602 barrels of flour and 17.888 ton.* of feed to points outside the state. This exceeds the amount reported for 1893 by 1,483 barrels of flour and 5,478 tons of feed. The average prices received for the year were S2.C7 fur straight flour. 12.29 for patent.

The gentleman, whose name has not been preserved, said that he had recom­ mended the subject to Hawthorne as a fit topic for a novel,-but that the lat­ ter did not see his way clear to put it in" literary shape, having other work on band, at the time. Longfellow caught at the subject, and asked If it would be agreeable for him to use it in a poem. The gentleman cheerfully consented, and Hawthorne, too, willingly turned over the subject to Ixingfeliow for poetical treatment. This, it Is stated on apparently good authority, was the origin “Evangeline,” but this anec­ dote gives no idea of the manner In which the subject must have spread out before the mind of the poet as he was working it up in all its fullness of de­ tail for tbe eyes of ills readers. The story of “Evangeline" is by no means the only literary relic of Arcadle, or, ns the English call IL Acadia, for among the 38,000 present French inhabitants of that region there still linger many legends of the day when the French residents were ruthlessly driven from the homes they bad found­ ed for themselves, from the farms they had taken pains to render fertile and valuable by the labor of their hands.

Some say that the entire population did not exceed 7,000, and of these ifo more than 2,000 were removed. This is the minimum, while on theuithcr hand there are others who assert that as many as 18,000 were vio­ lently ejected from the homes they had themselves created and were scat­ tered along tbe coast of North America. For tbe step Itself there may possibly have been some excuse, for there seems no doubt that the English Government was subjected to embarrassment on account of the presence of these peo­ ple whom they could not count as friends nor yet treat as enemies. There have been instances in which whole provinces have been dispossessed of their Inhabitants, but very few in which the wholesale eviction was carried on with such barbarity, and for the man­ ner In which this movement was car­ ried out no justification can be framed.

SLAIN BY THE SCORE. Seventy-five Killed and Hundred Injured. One Entire Fire Department, Including Men, Horaea and Machines, Wiped Ont of Existence—Explosive Was Stored in a Warehouse, Contrary to Lavr, and the Vlctlma Were Un­ warned—All the Glaaa in the City Demolished and the Property Ix>aa Will Reach Enormous Fiffnrea. During the progress of a fire at the Kenyon-Cornell Hardware Company’s warehouse in Butte. Mont., Tuesday night a terrific explosion occurred, as a resqlt of which it is estimated that sev­ enty-five persons have lost their lives. When the smoke had cleared away the terrified survivors were sickened at the sight of the ground for a block around the scene of the explosion strewn with the quivering and- dismembered flesh of men and horses, pinned down by fragments of the fire engines nnd burning brands from the demolished warehouse. Upon the sile of,the warehouse there wns a ghastly hole’ filled with debris, blazing in hundreds of places, with here and there the fragmenta of an unfortunate fireman. The noise of the explosion broke all the glass in the city and caused the houses to rock so violently that the resident* were stricken with fear. They did not know from .what quarter the disaster had come, and ns the explosion had almost destroyed the burning warehouse there was little to mark the scene of terrible destruction. The news spread like wildfire, however, and huudreds were soon around the spot. Pccorid and Third Exploaiona. After the first explosion hundreds of people hastened to the scene and tills ac­ counts for the great loss of life. While they were endeavoring to render assist­ ance to the injured the second explosion occurred, mowing down the crowtki of men. women and children, ns with a sickle of death. The survivors were has­ tening from the scene when a third ex­ plosion occurred, adding to the list of victims, a* many of the terror-stricken people, fleeing from the scene of destruc­ tion, wore monisl down by the flying de­ bris. It was spee<Iily learned thnt the entire fire department, includiug the chief, men, horses and ail the machines, had been utterly swept out of existence. Owing to the nature of the fire and its dangerous locality the entire force waa called out to prevent a spread of the flames to ad­ joining warehouses and all of the men were at work. Three policemen were detailed to keep the spectators back, and they were also killed. Many of the spec­ tators were instantly killed and several were hurk-<I back rods from the scene of the fire nnd rendered unconscious by the force of the shock. Dozens of men were found rods away from the warehouse bruised, bleeding and unconscious, and a number of them will not recover. > The fire started in the Royal Milling Company** warehouse and spread to the Kenyon-Cornell warehouse iu which was stored a carload of giant powder. Tbe first explosion was the most terrific and killed every fireman in the imw»diate vicinity save two belonging at the Central station. .One of these was standing be­ hind the hose cart horses and the other was'.at a water hydrant some distance away. It is estimated thnt about 100 addi­ tional [>ersons were injured, several of whom died after being taken to the hos­ pitals. The list of dend will fsissibly reach seventy-five, and the damage ftone to projM-rty will 1>«- more than $1,000,000.

The fin-men who had escaped the first explosion immediately rallied nnd were beginning another attack when a second explosion, more violent than the first, took plate. The people in. the vicinity were mowed down ns with a great scythe, nnd the streets for half n block around looked like a great Imttle field. Debris was thrown high iu the air, coming down half a mile away. Many people on the streets iu the center of the city were thus Injured. A few of the remaining firemen were gathering themselves together and at­ tempting to escape to a place of safety when the third and last explosion occur­ red. Thin, too, killed and injured many people. ^Hiere were several cars of the powder and all of them exploded. The whole heavens were lighted up nnd tbe city shook as if an earthquake was in progress. Immediately after the first explosion tbe entire hoapitn! corps nnd police force were summoned, nnd many of the detach­ ments of these companies are among the killed nnd injured in the subsequent ex­ plosions. The giant powder, which was for use in blasting in the mines, was stored in the warehouse contrary to law, ind the firemen bad no warning of its presence. After the first explosion it was supposed that there had been a,single car of the explosive, but the subseqaent horror* de­ veloped the fact that there were severed car* stored in the warehouse she'd*.

Secretary _ Gresham has intinlmated to tha PrealPdrnt that the posi' tion of the amlmssato warrant immediate action by Congress. Should no action be taken by that tody it i» almost certain that Clifton IL Breckinridge, our ambas­ sador to Russia, and Theodore Runyon, ♦ho holds the same post iu Germany, will resign. There has been circulated a statement to tbe effei-t that Mr. Breckin­ ridge has already announced his. inten­ tion ot abandoning his post. That state­ ment, however, is premature. The whble trouble is the result of the long-stauding salary grievance. As every­ body knows, our ambassadors receive a very inadequate stipend. Their salary is $17,300 a year each, but $30,000 is pronounced barely sufficient to maintain the dignity of the position. Air. Runyon in Germany and Mr. Eustis in France have, even with tbe exercise of the closest economy, spent twice their respective salaries and more in expenses <-onnected with tbe posts they fill. These details will surprise no one. But it will be news to announce that the ambassadors have held two conferences abroad, one in Lon­ don and another in Paris, for the pur­ pose of making unanimous representa­ tion to the State DepartmritP that their usefulrcss is almost nominal. On his way to St. Petersburg Mr. Breckinridge saw both Mr. Runyou and Mr. Eustia. Mr. Breckinridge had heard that hb ex­ penses in Europe would be very heavy— far more than hb salary. As he is a man of very moderate means be felt the uecessity of getting their sdviee. He ex­ pressed bls feelings with candor when he was informed of the humiliating straits to which hb fellow-diplomats were re­ duced. Then it was that a premature rumor of the resignation of the ambas­ sador to Russia was circulated. and the cost of entertain- powers in Washington in a very undlgni6e<i position. Their governments would undoubtedly recall them and tbe entente conliale would be jeopardized. PERIER 18 OUT. President of France Suddenly keaigns Hi- High Office. M. Casimlr-Perier, President of the French Republic, has rrtrignsd bis office. Prime Minister Dupuy imparted Presi­ dent Casimir-Perier'a decision to the 1‘ratidente of the Senate and Chamber of Dei»utie«, who will forthwith call urgency sittings of those bodies. When the facts became known consternation, amounting almost to atujior, seized every­ one. There had been ominous hints in tbe press in the recent days that M. Cosimir-Perier was growing tired of his posi­ tion, yet nobody paid any attention to them. The high character, experience, firmness, and integrity of the President inspired the confident of even the ad­ vanced Republicans. The long conference which M. CasimirPericr bad with M. Cbalhrmet-Lacour, President of the Senate, is now explained. Ho had already resolved to resign. M. Challemet-Lacour employed his utmost eloquence in a vain endeavor to persuade the President to reconsider bis derision and quitted the palace of the Ely see under a sense of deep distress. All the meml>ers of the cabinet, from Prime Minis­ ter Dupuy down, followed Challemet-Lacour and exhausted every argument to induce Cashnlr-Pericr not to resign. Their efforts were without success. Du­ puy again visited the palace of tbe Elysee later in the evening and was closeted with the President for forty-fh e minutes urging every possible inducement and ap­ pealing to every patriotic sentiment In order to get him to reconsider his determi­ nation. All was without avail. After interviews of the prefect of the Seine find tbe prefect of police with M.

The trip was uneventful until the dread­ ed |...int known as the horseshoe bend, near Alton. Ind., was reached. Here the pilot slowed down, as the current was very swift, and turned ids wheel so as to avoid an obstruction known as Bullock rock. The rudders failed to respond to the wheel and there was a grinding, crashing sound. Tbe boat soon filled and sunk. The shock wah terrific and the boat trembled from bow to stern.

This to believed to have reached shore.

It Is altogether FRENCH CIOAIX-SHAPKD AHtailir. unlikely that tbe balloons thus sup­ plied embody In them the best results attained by French researches. A great deal of what has been accomplished is supposed to be kept concealed for tbe benefit of the French Government. Regular schools of ballooning have been established at Mendon, near Paris, and at other places by the French War De­ partment and Important discoveries are known to have- been made. But they are jealously guarded. Now and again the people of Paris see a cigar­ shaped airship rise slowly from the heights of Mendon, sail with even mo­ tion over the city, nnd then, bearing to the right or left, owing back In a great circle many miles in diameter to tbe very point from which It started, descending to the earth as easily and lightly as a bird settles down upon a branch. This Is the latest balloon per­ fected by tbe War Department and It deliberately cut the connecting- cable while out at see. Allowing bis lxillo-m to rise to the height of two mile*, he opened the valve and allowed tbe bal­ loon to sink until it reached tbe water, and there floated like a piece of corkfor these balloons are constructed with buoyancy baskets—until be was picked up safe and sound, although hie little Imlloon had only about .1,000 feet of cubic contents. • France is by no means the only na­ tion that Is devoting scientific study to the airship.

Double Croppins Poor Land. The reason there Is not more double cropping of land 1* 1>eeau*e the soil generaly is not rich enough to warrant it. It pays in the garden, which on most farms contains more fertility per square foot than can be found anywhere else. It will pay with field crops If care Is token not to crop exbauslvely, and to sow alternately some leguminous plant that w’Ul increase fertility instead of lessening IL Clover is generally sown with some grain crop. This In one sense might be termed double crop­ ping, as the grain and clover grow to­ gether until the grain Is harvested. But this Is certainly not exhaustive to the ■oil. As a rule, it is best to have some crop growing on the soil all the time. When its surface Is bare It is exposed to greater losses than when It Is cov­ ered. ________ Ho Squared Himself. Elder Charles Holden, pastor of thv church In Warwick, R. I., at tbe time of the Declaration of Independence, bad been accustomed to pray for “the king and all in authority” In his public ser­ vices. Tbe elder was patriotic, and the new order of things Interfered with his set forms of speech. At one time, while A CAPTIVE WAR BALLOON. Showing tlie method of aerial observation in use in the German army. ts said to have reached the highest point of development. Captive Balloon*. The chief use of the military balloon wlU be to keep watch over the move­ ments of a hostile fleet or army, a ser­ vice which can be rendered without danger to the balloon and with vastly better results than can be obtained by any system of spies. As the small bal­ loons will be held cpptlve by cable* reeled out from below, maps and pho­ tographs of tLe enemy’s territory can be sent down to the commanding officer by letting them run down the cable, as boys send “travelers" along their kite­ strings. At a height of a mile the aero­ naut, with powerful glasses, could scour the surrounding country* hills permitting, for a radius of eighty mUes, and exact photographs of the boatile ramp, of the fort*, of the enemy's forces—in a word, of the exact situa­ tion—could be taken, aud every detail produced with unerring fidelity. Run­ ning up with tbe cable Is a telephone ★ire, so that communication Is raaln.tained between the balloon and the ground. The larger military balloons, which ■will not be held captive by cable, but allowed tn soar whither the aeronaut wilts, will carry dynamite bombs nnd deadly explosives, which they will shower down upon the buildings and people lyiug helpless three or four miles beneath.

Of all the wonders of the Tibetan re­ ligion. none is se striking as tbe abun­ dance of monasteries. These great as­ semblages of religious houses are full of monks, or Lamas, and the marvels associated with them are truly surpris­ ing. Their number la amazing; they literally swahn in the inhabited por­ tions of Tibet, and a traveler journey­ ing through tbe country passes monas­ tery after monastery in endless suc­ cession. , * So numerous are they that Mr. Rock­ hill, the Indefatigable American ex­ plorer of Tibet, tells us that, while tbe population of Eastern Tibet is but small, one-fifth of It consists of Lamaa He also says that, in bls journey from Jyekundo in Tibet to Tachlcn-lu, on the frontier of China, a distance of 600 miles, he passed thirty-six large monas­ teries, five of which contained from 2,000 to 4.000 Lamas. Many monas­ teries in other parts are equally large. The gresit monastery of Kumbum, near the Lake Koko Nor, contains 4,000 monks.

One day during the latter part ef last June William Franklin and bls daugh­ ter. Mrs. Frank Stone, happened tn stroll up a gulch in Pennington County, and, stopping to resL Mrs. Stone idly broke in two a small piece of rock, which in the break, upon examination, allowed some particles of gold. A little digging, says a Chamberlain, S. D», cor­ respondent of tbe BL Paul Plbneer Press, exposed more of the rock, which, upon being panned, proved very rich. Everybody In the vicinity, hav­ ing nothing to do, visited the spot, and for pastime were allowed to dig out some of the rock and pan out tbe gold. As every man In that vicinity was In bad condition financially and without means of raising the money for the propter celebration of the approaching Fourth of July,-quite an 0{>enlng was made and tbe proceeds were devoted to that purpose. From this little Incident dates the discovery of gold in the Holy Terror mine, which from day to day causes greater excitement in mining circles. With five stamps the owners recently pounded out $3,500 in gold in ten hours. Much of the ore runs $500 to the ton. Persistent prospecting revealed no other place where the vein came to the surface save this one spot, which has been walked over every day for years. Mr. Franklin took in T. C. Blair as partner and a shaft was begun, tbe ore taken out being treated in the Key­ stone mill and returned value much above the expense of sinking the shaft. When the shaft reached the depth of forty feet, developing a well-defined vein, which steadily Improved with width and value as depth was gained tbe owners made an arrangement with J J. Faycl and Albert Amsbury by which they agreed to erect a stamp mill on the property in consideration of a half interest in the mine. A fivestamp mill with an engine capacity of ten stamps or more was quickly built at a cost of about $5,000, and put In operation three weeks ago. While the mill was being built men were em­ ployed to run drifts north and south from the shaft at a depth of forty feeL while sinking was pushed in the sbafL Most of the ore milled has been taken from these drifts- The vein consists of marvelously rich ore, averaging sixteen inches cn one wall, with about two feet of low grade ore filling the remainder of the vein. The richness of this ore Htreak must be seen to be believed. Nuggets of soMd gold from one to two pennyweights to five ounces in weight are found snugly tucked away waiting to be brought to llgbL while large pieces of quarts are so bound with gold that tbe parts bang together when broken with a hammer. The first clean-up was made in the new mill after a run of thirty-six hours. The result was a retort weighing a lit­ tle over 166 ounces, from thirty tons of ore as taken from the mine. The sec­ ond run of twenty-four hours gave a retort weighing 179 ounces, nnd the third run of twenty-six hours gave 203 ounces. These three retorts are worth $10,000, and were ail produced by a five-stamp mill and taken to the Har­ ney Peak Bank at HUI City for ship­ ment Inside of one week from tbe start. The shaft has now reached a depth of sixty feet and shows a larger and richer body of ore than ever. Parties who have recently visited the mine report that It Ik probably the richest ever dis­ covered in the Black Hills. DIVERS PHOTOGRAPHED.

There is something In the order in which different parts of the winter ra­ tions should be fed In order to make It do the greatest good to stock. There should be as much variety as possible each day, but the corn stalks ought to be fed most freely early In the winter, reserving more hay and grain to the latter part ofthe winter. Corn stalks early In winter have much succulence and a greater nutritive value than they have after being dried through by al­ ternate freezing and thawing. Hay does not deteriorate by drying through the winter, while the grain ration, unless injured by mice, is worth more In spring than It is early In the winter. Beggared Herself for Charity.

The first of these up-to-date martial iongs Is entitled “Gallant Warriors.*’ If warriors go to war by land, the turf shall receive tbe bodies of the slain. If warriors go to war by sea, the ocean shpll receive the bodies of the slain. From time Immemorial our gallant warriors have gone forth In swarms. Human life lasts but for fifty years; who would wish to purchase a few mis­ erable years of life nt the cost of dlabonor? March and fire as long a* breath remains, for our lives are nt the disposal of the sovereign, our bodies are to be sacrificed to tbe glory of the country; let soldiers die with all their wounds in front. The soul* of those who thus defy death shall be through the ages to come the guardian nngcU of Oriental tranquility. So, go fort), g«i’ forth, ye warriors; warriors, go forth! The second battle aong, which is dis­ tinctly of very recent date. Is “To Pe­ kin." China is a country where In bygone days teachings of sages prevailed; but ns time rolled ou the country has l>ecome retrogressive. It boasts of Itself as tbe Celestial Kingdom, but Its heart Is barbarous and Is tbe very reverse of celestial. Till its ignorance Is dispelled the sky of the Orient must over be •lark. Now Is the time to plant Ute flag of the Rising Sun on the wall* of Pekin, nnd to Illuminate Its darkness. This Is the duty of our glorious em­ pire, the I^and of the Rising Sun.

"Well, It will be rather nice to go back for an hour or two to the old life, and rest one’s ears from the endless buzz of machinery. Though I am fond of ma­ chinery,” added he, hastily and cheerily. “It b like presiding as a temporary provimaking; taking care that all the wheels are kept going; doing one’s utmost, and waiting calmly for the final result, as one must In all things. Yes, I enjoy my work, and I mean to enjoy my play, if I am not too tired.” He had come in very tired—he often did; but,-re freshed with tea and tender words, had now begun dressing for the Syming­ ton dinner, putting on his diamond studs, brushing out his curly hair, and hb wife could seo he rather liked the proceeding. Ho was a young man still. She was yonng, too—not at all above the pleasure of “making heroelf pretty”— as he told her she looked In her white wedding dress, with her wedding veil transmuted into a shawl He admired her—they mutually admired one another —and took a cbildbh pleasure in the same. ' “I wish I could give you a carriage," sighed Roderick, as ho mufll.ed her in' hood and plaid for the ten minutes' walk under the fir woods, through tbe dear frosty December night. “I am content with my own two feet, dear, l^ady Symington offered the car­ riage. but I declined." •‘Quite right.

Silence clung to her husband’s nrm. "This feels like the old days—the days when you used to walk home with us at night." She imused, and then continued In the low smothered tone which he bad learned to understand now. “Did you ever think then that I loved you—that h was heaven to me just to wnlk beside you for n quarter of nn horfr? And now we walk together alwnys—throughliTe— into eternity. No—I shall not lose you even there." He pressed her little hand nearer bis heart, but said nothing. They walked on, watching the round, red moon, which was creeping up slowly through a eleft in the hills. Neither said, “How’beautiful." jnst ns neither said, “I am happy,” but they knew it without speaking. So they reached, two humble pedestri­ ans, tho Symington hall-door. “Are you afraid?" asked Roderick, as they paused to let a carriage pass them— the Castle Torre carriage, full of very resplendent McAllisters. ‘‘Not afraid of my host and hostess, but very much afraid of the bntler, the footman, and tho groom of the cham- "Nevertheless, let us face even them,” said Roderick, gayly, “for I am deter­ mined to have a pleasant evening." It felt like it when, haring passed bravely through the ordeal of the en­ trance hall, they found themselves in tbe fine old drawing-room, rich with the relics of a dozen generations of Syming­ tons, where Sir John and bis wife re­ ceived their guests. There was once a popular song, “If I had a thousand a year," wherein the singer described what be would do with that noble income—counted but a small one nowadays. But ten thousand a year —what could one do with that? I think precisely what Sir John Symington did. A rich man, of cultivated tastes, with every right to gratify thorn, knowing enough of sorrow to humble his heart to­ ward God and soften it toward his neigh­ bor; gifted with not only the power but the will to do good, and having lived long enough to reap the fruits of an honorable youth* in a calm old age: such a man is, spite of his riches, not unlikely to enter wurld, nt you could sec by hb contented look and quiet, stately bearing.

There was also withdrawn $3,800,000 iu coin und $800,000 additional was engag­ ed for export Saturday, -making the total I5.GOO.OOO; This leaves the gold reserve $58,024,428 nnd the amount of gold coin uit hand, above the amount of outstand­ ing gold certificates, $10,1)12.280. Tbe treasury officials, however, do not regard the amount of coin on hand received on dej hisit for gold certificates as sacred tu their redemption, but will continue to pay out gold coin in demand for legal tend­ ers. It is deemed amply sufficient that there is enough gold in either coin or tars to meet the demand on gold certificates.

The cost of the undertaking is estimated at from $1,000,000 to $2,500,­ 000. To secure the capital necessary to undertake thia great work tbe company is making contracts with the owners of n-a] estate along the main line snd its laterals stipulating for the payment of $8 per acre in ten yearly installments for the construction of said canal nnd an an­ nual water rental of $1 per acre for tbe use of-the water. It is believed the com­ ing summer will'see this great river of lintiid prosperity pouring on its way to the homes and homesteaders of Northern Nebraska and ushering in an era of pros­ perity and progress throughout all the region along its line. Like many other of the world's great projects a rigorous necessity wns its mother. The settlement of Northern Neb­ raska begap fifteen years ago.. In an in­ credibly short space of time several towns sprang up and thousands of acres were given over to the cultivation x>f crops. Up to 1800 prosperity smiled upon the hardy settlers. The fertile fields yielded an abundance of crops, the cattle fattened and it seemed to them that no fairer re­ gion ever blossomed under the ray* of the summer's sun. But during the iast five years a great cloud of adversity has been projected across the landscape of those fair Nebraska fields and a succession of crop failures ha* followed year after year. Tho farmers and business men became discouraged and at legth turned toward their streams for salvation. The Nio­ brara River, which runs 300 miles from east to west was selected as the menus of bringing into new life their barren fields. Tbe plan of the present company is to tap this stream at a point south of •Rushville. Neb., and send its waters through an irrigation canal, which will run almost parallel to It throwing out its laterals right and left to carry their bless­ ings to regions which have suffered so long from drought.

The anxious eyes of Lighthouse Keeper Charles Donoghue, at South Haven, which have for days been looking to the west over the Ice-bound lake for signs of the missing propelller Chicora, with her human freight, were rewarded on edneaday afternoon, by discerning sev­ eral miles out specks tbst through the glsss « ere soon seen to be pieces of wreck­ age. They were only specks, but to the mariner's quick eye they told of the un­ questionable loss of a vessel and all on board. Tbe wreckage was about two mile* out from shore, most of it directly opjmsite the harbor. The ice appeared lake. Mariners at once organised a re­ lief party to go out nnd Investigate the wreckage. Captain Matthews, of'the United Sjates life-saving service, led the party of searchers that braved the wintry wind, blowing in their faces at a rate of upward of thirty miles an hour. The trip out from land wns a perilous one, for the Ice, while driven into a compact mass b> the gale of the last two days, was still dangerous, and in places uncertain on account of its roughness and the liability of its breaking up. After the two miles, which seemed tj be ten, had been covered Capt. Matthews and his party came to a mass of wreck­ age Imbedded iu the Ice. but apparently of a boat that had but recently met With disaster. There were a number of pieces that appeared to belong to the upper works of some large vessel, probably a pro|*elh-r or steamer of some large line. Much of the wreckage was under the ice or water, which made it difficult to reach In order to closely describe. The men hunted around for pieces of the pilot-house, by which the name of the vessel could be learned, but they were unsuccessful. Portion* of the wreckage were secured* nnd carried hack to the land, where experienced seamen who knew the Graham & Morton vessel iden­ tified them as belonging to the Chicora. Among most of the seamen tho opinion bi that the Chicor* has foundered. The discovery of the wreckage proves that she baa at least lost ber upper works, and those who know the vessel say that a storm severe enough to carry these off would be more than any vessel could stand. even though she be so stanch kb the Chicora. They also state that the twenty-six men supposed to be on board are undoubtedly lost. If they did not go down with the vessel it would lie impossi­ ble for them to hare escaped in the teeth of the gale with the lake full of ice. Mr. Morton, of the Graham & Morton Trans­ portation Company, and Clerk Hancock, who arrived at South Haven lata al night, examined the wreckage, which they think without doubt belongs to ths Chi­ cora.

A resolution was adopted limiting tbe mileage of visit­ ing committees to 3 cents per mile and ex­ penses to $3 per day. The House also adopted a sweeping resolution, intro­ duced by “Farmer” Kempf, of Wash­ tenaw, requiring the heads of the several departments to make a detailed report of the number of clerks employed, salaries paid, how long employed, their previous occupation, average number of hours per day they are occupied, whether the em­ ployment be permanent or temporary, the ,• amount paid for clerk hire annually, and ah estimate of how much will be required to maintain the departments for the com­ ing two years. The Legislature was in session less than an hour Friday. The Senate adjourned nnd the House followed suit after a twen­ ty-minute session. The member* flitted at once to prepare for the start for the up­ per peninsula on tbe biennial junket Several legislative hearts were broken, howevhr, by the passage of a resolution limiting the mileage of junketer* to 8 cents per mile and their expenses to $1.30 per diem.

Our home was closed for three years while we were on the continent; and soon after our return, last June, we be­ gan to hear mysterious noises. The lofts were low, with sloping ceilings, and It was there that we heard them. The sounds varied. Sometimes we heard a low. heavy rumbling; like dis­ tant thunder; at other times we heard, or seemed to bear, broken murmurs, like hoarse voices lu conversation; but usually the nolso suggested distant whispering and groaning. We were not superstitious, but it Wns pol.pleasant to have such things going cn In the house. For four weeks we sought vainly for nn explanation of tbe mystery. Rats and mice never made such noises, nor bats and birds. So far as we could think, nothing that files, nothing that runs, could produce such sounds as came from our haunted chambers. We bad many curious visitors, but pretty soon some of dur more Ignorant neighbors began to shun the house. This had been going on tpr about four weeks, when father came into the room one morning tn a state of evident ex­ citement ' "Well I’ve solved tho mystery,” he exclaimed. “It’s bees.” "Bees!” we cried. “What do you mean?" • “I've seen a thousand bees, at least g<|ing out and In at that small bole la the gable roof," he said.

Strike May Spread. Violence aud bloodshed marked th* «4ghth day of the electric street railway operatives' strike in' Brooklyn. Thro* militiamen are in bespitala with broken heads, two having suffered at tbe hamta of riotous men aud women, while the oth­ er was the victim ot hi* own carelessm***. having fallen out of a secund-story win­ dow. A score or more of policemen ar* suffering from bullet wounds, or eontaslona of tbe bead and body, disabling them for the time being. To what extent ,the strikers have suffered dannot be con­ jectured. If they escaped punishment it was not the fault-of the militiamen, who, in accordance with orders, fired as direct­ ly at their assailants ns a dense fog, which completely hid objects nt thirty yards' distance, would permit The strike is not ended and order la not restored. Keren thousand national guardsmen and 1,500 or 1,600 policemen were not ou Monday strong enough to make tbe re­ sumption of the street railway traffic in Brooklyn practicable. In ’fact, says a dispatch, the gain over last Saturday is scarcely perceptible. The calling out of the First Brigade, composed of New York City regiments, has seemed rather to add to the tension than to bring a solation of ths difficulties. The task of restoring peace and order along nearly 200.miles of street car line is a vast one. The new levy numbered not far from 4,000 men. They were moved across the great bridge early in the day. The various companies went by elevated trains whenever it was pouible to the points to which they had been ordered. Generally speaking, the greetings they met with on the streets were far from friendly. Boys guyed and men jeered them ns they passed through the.sections inhabited by laboring people. ■ The elements which eatfy- in the day were suspicious soon took on an unfriend­ ly aspect. A Scotch mist settled down on all the city, increasing in density as th* evening approached, and added to the dif­ ficulties which attended the tarrying out of the announced intention of the street car companies to run cars nj»on lines not operated since the strike was declared. Such attempts in this direction ns were made were futile. A car started from the Ridgewood station of the Brooklyn Heights Company a little after 5 o'clock and was assailed with volleys of stones and bricks from windows and vacant lota before it had proceeded far on its wvy down-town. A private soldier was struck In tbe head with a stone and disabled. The officer in command ordered his men to shoot, and two volleys were fired in the direction of tbe rioters, who, however, were bidden by-the dense fog. About 253 bullets were sent in search of victims, bat how many of them found human targets cannot at present be determined. The militiamen’s orders were if they shot it would be to kill. Policemen also did some shooting at this point with what effect is as uncertain as in the case of the militia­ men. It is ascertained by the militia officer* that they only ordered the volley when tbe violence of the mob made It nec­ essary to do so. EUROPEAN GRAIN CROPS.

There Is a table In tbe Segato depart­ ment of tbe Nuora Santa Maria Hospi­ tal Museum at Florence, Italy, which for originality in tbe matter of concep­ tion Is probably without a rival Tbe designer and constructor of this won­ der waa Professor Giuseppe Segnto (one authority spells bis name Segnttl), tbe discoverer of a lost process of petrl’ylng human flesh, and who worked In die various hospitals aud museums of Italy about forty yeara. To the casual observer this table Is nothing more or leks titan a curious mosaic made up of marbles and agates of different sizes and colors. In reality, however, It Is composed wholly of human flesh, mus­ cles, viscera, intestines, etc. A writer wbb describes it in Harper's Magazine ■ays: "It comprises every portion of the hu­ man body transformed Into stone, des­ tined to eudure as long as the world shall last • • • Different portion* of tbe human body, showing tbe whole Internal anatomy, are so beautifully petrified as to be a wonder to the trav­ eler as well as an object of study for tha medical student" The table is bordered with upward of one hundred human eyes, preserved by some process which makes them look as natural as life. It Is without doqbt the most ghastly piece of furniture ever designed by man. Kot Observed. �PERSONAL S- I THE WORLD'S HOLIDAYS. J. & Coney, the poooHM leader, has I Jn.T 84.

New mmtormen and conductors have replaced ft he men who went out In a body on Jan. X4. Tbe linemen who went oflt on a sym­ pathetic strike a week later have broken ranks on several lines sod those whose • places had not been filled were taken back. The 6,000 men who went out iu a body are still bolding out They were prepared for a long siege, nnd they say they have plenty of money coming In daily in contributions, aside from what they had laid away from their wages. The lines now have enough men to oper­ ate all cars which are in condition to be run. About one-third of the trolley car* of Brooklyn hare broken windows, dis­ abled motors, or are otherwise incapaci­ tated by the scrimmages they hare been through during tbe past sixteen days. The strikers are now directing all their attention to coprt proceedings. The law’s delays are proverbial, and whatever trou­ ble the companies are given through at­ tempts to compel operations by writs of mandamus, or to obtain forfeiture ofi charters through applications to the at­ torney general, will have little beaclng on the present strike. DOWN AN ICY LADDER. Mother Descend* a Firc-Eacupe with Two Children in Her Arm*. A mother's love and courage showed strongly when Mrs. Mary Walsh left a fourth-story window of her home at 47 Sixth avenue. New York, and. with her two children in her arms, climbed down nn Icy Iron ladder to escape from the flumes that had possession of her rooms. The fire started while Mrs. Walsh was In bed with her children. Her husband, a letter-carrier, had gone to work half nn hour before. Mrs. Walsh caught up her two children and ran through the flames to the fire escape. The fire burned their nightgowns and scorched their flesh and hair. Icicles hung from the fire escape ladder down which she had to climb. A beam had fallen across her shoulders as she ran through the burning room and left an ugly bruise. Mrs. Walsh dimed down the fire ladder and stood on a level with nn adjoining house, where a man met her and took thb children from her arms. MARY ANDERSON 18 VERY ILL.

Commenting upon the financial ques­ tion in the United Slates, Mr. Burns, managing partner in Ixmdon of J. 8. Morgan & Co.,-said: “AH that we want is the issue of a loan specifically payable in gold. If that be done Europe will re­ spond to any demand made by America. There is a general belief in the ability of America to pay in gold if she wishes to do so, but there is now some doubt as to her good faith." Dangerously Lax Syatcm. The bonding of government officials is n subject which hns bren under discus­ sion by the House Committee on Appro­ priations for several days and Hie com­ mittee has concluded that it is a field In I which there is great room for reform. The irregularities nnd lack of system gov­ erning the securities taken by the govern­ ment for the performance of official du­ ties were first inquired into by the ex­ perts of the Dockery commission nnd brought to the attention of tbe committee. Recently the heads of several depart­ ments and bureaus have been before the subcommittee of appropriations which is framing tbe legislative bill and it has been shown that the security system is probably more lax than that of any other government Many officers arc bonded for a term of'fonr years, and if, as often happens, there is delay in the appoint­ ment of the successors nnd they continue to officiate, the government is left with­ out any guaranty or means of making good losses. If any are incurred through their acts. This lapse is frequent in the cases of first-class postmasters, but the assistant treasurerj of the United States present the most conspicuous examples, since their bondsmen, according to de­ cisions by the courts, cease to be responsi­ ble at the end of four years and the gov­ ernment is left with no recourse iu rare of default in the interim until the appoint­ ment of their successors.

WORK OF OUR NATIONAL LAW­ . MAKERS. Proeevdhags of the Senate msd Sous* of Representative* — Important Ksamtres Discussed sad Acted Vpoa-Glet of Um The National Sotoos. The Senate Monday passed the Ute bill sod adopted resolutions calling for in­ formation on various subjects. Debate on the-biU to repeal the differential duty on sugar from bounty-paying countries wns continued in the House. A currency bill In accordance with tbe views ex­ pressed in the President's message was Introduced in the House by Mr. Springer. President Cleveland rent a message to Congress urging prompt action to restore confidence in our financial soundness. Commissioner. Miller has prepared a no­ tice, copies of which will be posted In every city and’ town, calling attention to the provisions of the income tax law. A compromise currency plan "was offered in the Senate Tuesday by Mr. Mander­ son, of Nebraska, a Republican. Senator Chandler offered several a monuments to the railroad pooling bill and secured adop­ tion of a resolution calling for information regarding tho trank • lines. The bank­ ruptcy bill was debated, a substitute on the lines of the old Torrey bill being of­ fered. The Senate Committee on Fi­ nance discussed the various currency bills before it. A free silver measure offered by Chairman Voorhees was defeated on a tie vote. A canvass of the Senate Com­ mittee on Public BuUdings showed a ma­ jority favorable to the Chicago postof­ fice bilk The bill to repeal the differ­ ential duty on sugar from bounty-paying countries was passed by the house—239. to 31. The House' Committee on Elec­ tions decided the Steward-Childs contest in favor of the latter, who is the sitting member. Tbe House committee amended the administration currency bill by strik­ ing out the section requiring import duties to be paid in gold, reducing the tax on circulation and shortening the term of bonds. During the disctfsslon of the currency question in the Senate Wednesday Mr. Ve*4 said he would follow the President’s lead no longer. The Senate ratified tho Japanese treaty after adopting an amend­ ment to strike out the ten-year limit. William R. Tihhnls, of Illluois. wns con­ firmed by Hie Senate as supervising ins;>ector of steam vessels for the Fifth Dis­ trict. The House entered on a discussion of the Pacific Railroad bill, for which three days were set apart. A bill for tho punishment of train wreckers was agre«,d on by the House Committee on Intcrst<ito Commeri'e. The Chicago postoflice bill will be favorably reported to the Senate with the provision for its completion in three years omitted. Pacific Railroad funding bill wns dis­ cused in the House Thursday and much opposition to the measure was developed. Gorinnti nnd I Jill made strenuous efforts to have'the Senate take some immediate action on the pressing financial question. It is snid Germany is determined to farce a tariff war upon the United States in or­ der to satisfy the agricultural party. But little outside of routine business waa dona in either bouse. Many bills were introduced In each branch. The House Friday adopted a resolution calling on the President for information concerning the action of British sub­ jects during the rebellion in Hawaii. Con­ gressmen Breckinridge, of Kentucky, und Heard, of Missouri, called each other liar* in the Honre nnd were enured to n>ologize. Senator Teller, representing the silver element, gave warning of op­ position to any financial plan not agree­ able to him. It is stated sctui-officially that Secretary Carlisle will be appointed to the Supreme bench to succeed Justice Jackson. SNOW IN THE WEST. A Plow Which Tackle* Drift*Thirty Feet in Depth. Reports come from the West of snow­ drifts on the railroad over the Sierrt Mountains, which are said to be the heavi­ est for years. Han! packed snow lies from thirty to fifty feet deep, and it requires constant work with snow plows to ena­ ble trains to get through at all. The rotary plow is about the only thing which does really effective work, though the THE ROTARY FLOW AT WORK. push plows are used in conjunction with them. Near n place called Dunsmuir is a huge drift, particularly hard to handle. This is the way the men attempt to manage hero. A number of engines coupled to­ gether take a flying start of a1xr.it half a mile at thia bank of snow, and slowly force it off the track. Every time they strike it from two to three of them are buried out of sight in the drift. Tho other-i are uncoupled and back away. The buried engines are then dug out by shov­ elers. They then couple on and uuothcr assault is made on the drift. SOME NOTED MEN Who Became Famous in Their Young­ er Day*. Pitt, the younger, was In Parliament at 21. Edison was famous for bls inventions when 23. Galileo discovered the isochronism of the pendulum at 19. Bhakspeare left school at 14; Clay at 14; John Bright at 15.

If some of the dandles and beauties of other da ye could only return to uh In the flesh and wearing tbe habiliments of their age what a sensation they would create! Imagine a dandy of the reign of James I. of England walk­ ing Into your borne with breeches large enough, if extended, to shelter a mod erate-sUod circus; or a fair daughter «if Ere of tbe seventeenth century beam•I n k on you with stars and half m'oons nnd n coach and horses de­ picted on her face! Yet these were fashions in other days. time of Henry VIII. of Eng­ land bls bree­ ches were the objects of n young man’s chief sollcl,_tude. We rend LORD HOWARD OF _ rixmiAM.of “petticoat breeches" tied above the knee, ribbons extending up to the pockets, ribbons hanging ail about tbe waistband and shirt hanging out from tbe opened rest front We rend of breeches “almost capable of a bushel of wheat" and of alterations which had to be made in the British House of Com­ mons to afford a d d 1 tional accommodatlons for tbe mem­ bers’ seats. It is related of a dandy of the time that on ris­ ing to concluded a visit of cere­ mony he had the misfortune fAhiiiox or the to damage bls •• ________ PATCHES.” breeches by a protruding nail in ills chair so that by the time he gained the door the escape of bran was so great ns to cause a state of complete collapse.* Breeches ■■ a Storehouse. A law was made "against such as did so stuff their breeches ns to make them AX A LS AT IAM BELLE. Gland out, whereupon,” says an old authority, “when a certain prisoner was accused for wearing such breeches contrary to law* be began to excuse himself of the offense nnd endeavored by little nnd little to discharge himself Of that which he did wear with them; he drew out of his breeches a pnlr of sheets, a brush, a gloss, n combe and night caps, with othe- things of use, saying, ’Your worships may under­ stand that because I have no safer storehouse these pockets do serve me for a roome to keep my goods lu and though it be a straight prison yet it Is a store bouse big enough for them, for I have many things more yet of value within them.* And so bls discharge was accepted aud well laughed at. and they commanded him that he should not alter the furniture of his store­ house.” A Dandy of 1046. One of our illustrations is of a dandy of 1646, taken from an old print He wears a tall bat with a bunch of rib­ bon on one side, and a feather on the other; bls face Is spotted with “patch­ es” and two love locks bang down upon his bosom and are tied at the ends with ribbon. Tbe vest is left partly open, and the shirt protrudes. His breeches are ornamented at the knees, and bls MASKS OF THE REJON OF CHARLES H. legs are incased Iu "boot-hose tops." “Tbe tope of bls boots,” says an old record, “were very large, fringed with lace and turned down as low as his spurs, which jingled like the bells of a monice dancer as be walked." The patches referred to in the above description were introduced in tbe sev­ enteenth century, probably from Ara hi*. where a black mole h Consider** a beauty spot Hence those in England to whom nature bad denied the boon of a black mole endeavored to imitate it by means of black silk and paste. Our illustration of this fashion repre­ sents a lady of the latter part of the seventeenth century with a star and two half moons, a circular mark aud a coach, coachman aud two horses, with postillions, upon her face. Pntca-s were even made a syrpboi of.political allegiance, ladles favoring the Tories patching tbe right side of. tho face, while those who adhered to the Whigs patched tbe left side. A ft'er 1766 patch­ es ou tiie face were discontinued. Masks Were the Fashion. Masks formed another fashionable decoration for tbe face, half masks and whole masks being optionally used. Tbe masks, when not worn, were suspended to the side by a string; when used they were held iu position by the teeth by menus of a round band fas­ tened on tbe Inside. During tbe reign of Charles If.', of England, few* ladles visited the theater unmasked. Hopps, which were an extension of the "padded or false hip" of the fif­ teenth century, did Dot come into very general use until toward the close of the seventeenth century. A paper of a little later period speaks of a chair­ maker, “one William Jingle, who con­ trived a chair six yards und a half in circumference, with a stool In the cen­ ter of It; said vehicle being so contriv­ ed as to receive the passenger by open­ ing in two in the middle and closing of 1M«. when she is seated.” The same Jingle “Invented a coach for tho reception of one lady only, who Is to be let in at the top,” and the paper continues, “tbe said coach has been tried by a lady’s wom­ an, In one of these full fietticoats (hoops) who was let down from a bal­ cony and drawn up again by pulleys to die great satisfaction of all who beheld the sight." One of our Illustrations represents an Alsatian (French) belle of 1727. The most singular feature of this beauty Is tho coiffure, which consists of an enor­ mous three-cornered edifice of sarin, lace and jewels, stretching out on either side far beyond the width of tiie figure and standing up in a point in front Two of our illustrations, that of Sir William Bussell and that of Lord How­ ard of EQlngham, deal with the time of Elizabeth. In tbe representation of Sir William Russell the immense ruff worn very generally at that lime is shown. A roller against the vanities of those days says: “There is a certain liquid matter which they call starch wherein tbe devil bad learned them to wash nnd dive their ruffs, which being dry will then stand stiff and Inflexible about their necks.” Imagine a British lord of to-day dressed like Lord How­ ard of Effingham! Hhr Wanted an Uneasy Pls*lsr. A colored woman with her head done up in a red turban offered a piece of money to the apothecary’s clerk, say­ ing: “I want an uneasy plaster, sab." “I—er—don’t think I understand you," said the man. “It’s an uneasy plaster I want," re­ peated tbe woman. “What’s that?" “Uneasy plaster, sab.” “I don’t know what you mean.” “The missus said I whs ter git an uneasy plaster." The apothecary reflected for a mo­ ment und scratched his head. Then an idea seemed to break upon him. •’A porous plaster lx the most uneasy kind of plaster I know of," be said. “I’ll givo you one, and if it is not right bring It back.” Tbe woman did bring It back about fifteen minutes later. She also bad a note from her mistress explaining that adhesive plaster for a cut finger wag tho article wanted. Very Much Absorbed. ' Owen’s power of concentration aud absorption Id a subject which interest­ eel him was not confined to profession­ al or scientific matters. We find that on Jan. 22. 1848, after having beard a lecture of WhcweH’s, he went on to the club and took up Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair” to read. He became so deeply absorbed in the book that he sat on, oblivious of the fait that every one else had disappeared one by one. He was also apparently deaf to coughs and bints of attendants, etc., but still sat there reading and laughing to himself. At last In desperation the men came forward and began to take away the lamps. Then, having looked at hit watch and found it considerably past 2 a. ul, he rushed wildly out of the club, and, like a scientific Cinderella, left his umbrella and greatcoat behind. -The Life of Blcbard Owen, by his Grandson.____________________ Amputation Without Anaesthetic?.

There is now in the treasury n comfort­ able surplus of more than $63,000,000, but It is not in gold and therefore doe* not meet our difficulty. Silver Question Not the I***e. “I cannot see that differences of opin­ ion concerning the extent to which silver ought to be coined or used in our cur­ rency should Interfere with the counsel* of tho*c whose duty it is to rectify evils now apparent in our-financial situation. They have to consider the question of na­ tional credit and the consequences that will follow from its collapse. Whatever ideas nay be insisted on as to silver or bimetallism, a proper solution of the ques­ tion now pressing upon us only requires a recognition of gold as well as silver and a concession of its importance, rightfully or wrongfully acquired, as a basis of na­ tional credit, a necessity in the honorable discharge of our obligations payable in gold and a badge of solvency. I do not understand that the real friends of silver desire a condition that might follow in­ action or neglect to appreciate the mean­ ing of the present exigency if it should result in the entire banishment of gold from our financial nnd currency arrange­ ments. “Besides the treasury notes which cer­ tainly should be paid in gold, amounting to nearly $500,000,000, there will fall du* in 1004 $100,000,000 of bonds issued dur­ ing the last year fo- which we have re­ ceived gold, and In 1007 nearly $600,000,­ 000 of 4 per cent bonds Issued In 1877. Shall tbe payment of these obligations in gold be repudiated? If they are to be paid in such a manner as the preserva­ tion of our national honor and national solvency demands, we should not destroy or even im;>eril our ability to supply our­ selves with gdld for that purpose. “While I am not unfriendly to silver, and while iKlesire to see it recognized to mich an extent ns is consistent with finan­ cial'safety and the preservation of na­ tional honor and credit, 1 am not will­ ing to see gold entirely banished from our currency and finance*. To avert such a consequence, I believe thorough nnd radical remedial legislation should b* promptly passed. I therefore beg th* t'nngrres to give the subject imoMdiat* attention. Secretary Should Have Authority. “In my opinion, the Secretary of th* Treasury should be authorized to issue l-onda of the Government for the purpose of procuring and maintaining a sufficient gold reserve and the redemption and can­ cellation of the United States legal-ten­ der note* and the treasury notes issued for the purchase of silver under the law of July 14. 1890. We should be relieved from the humiliating process of issuing bonds to procure gold to be immediately and repeatedly drawn out on thess obli­ gations for purposes not related to th* benefit of our Government or our people. The principal and interest of these bonds should be payable on their fare in gold, because they should be sold only for gold or its representative, and because there would now probably be difficulty in favor­ ably disposing of bond* Rot containing this stipulation. “I suggest that tho bonds be issued in denominations of $20 and $50 and their multiples, and that they bear interest at a rate not exceeding 3 per cent, per an­ num. I do not see why they should not lw payable fifty years from their date*. We of the present generation have large amounts to pay if we meet our obliga­ tions and long bonds arc most salable. The Secretary of the Treasury might well be permitted at his discretion to receive on the sale of bonds the legal tender and treasury notes to be retired end. of course, when they are thus retired or re­ deemed in gold they should be canceled. “I believe all the provisions I bare sug­ gested should be embodied in our law* if we are to enjoy a complete reinstate­ ment of a sound financial condition^ They need not interfere with any cur­ rency scheme providing for the increaa* of the circulating medium through th* agency of national or State banks, sine* they can easily be adjusted to such a scheme. “In conclusion I desire to frankly con­ fess my reluctance to issuing more bond* in present circumstanres and with no bet­ ter result* than have lately followed that course. I cannot, however, refrain from adding to an assurance of my anxiety to eo-operats with the present Congress in any reasonable measure of relief an ex­ pression of my determination to leave nothing undone which furnishes a bop* for improving the situation or checking a suspicion of our disinclination or disa­ bility to me<>with tho strictest honor every national obligation. “GRAVER CLEVELAND.” Benvenuto Cellini tell* tn ills memolra of hl* hallucinations.

It needs a thorough understanding of the capabilities of any farm to make it pay the most that Is possible for It. Very often these possibilities are not learn­ ed except after cosily experience. There are some fields that have fertility enough to produce good crops, but arc so covered wkb stones that plowing costs more than It ought. Such fields should be kept In grass ns much as pos­ sible until tbe farmer finds time to clear away the obstructions to tbe plow. Steep billsides may be* rich enough to be cropped, though they are not apt to be. They should generally be kept In ghUM. for If cultivated and left naked through the winter, much of the surface •oil will be washed, away by spring floods.

Ip an interview with the Salvadorian minister. Don Ja­ cinto Castellanos, he said that he consid­ ered the final declaration of war against: Guatemala as a calamity which ought to be avoided if possible, and which, ho thinks, will be averted by the final recog­ nition o/ the jnstice of Mexico's claims.

Rnahins Troop* to tbe Front. The Mexican government has pushed fresh forces into the Guatemalan frontier almost daily, and camp quarters for u large body of men have been arranged for. A few Guatemalans living in the vicinity of Comitan have quietly left for their native country,' and others who are dis­ gusted with the course of President Bar­ rios and the Guatemalan administration have fled to Mexico rather than be press­ ed into an unwHling service. Reports from the other aide of the border are that Guatemala is using every effort to work up feelings of patriotism among the peo­ ple, in the hope of obtaining large rein­ forcements to continue its bluff against Mexico. When persuasion fails it Is given out that when, the government needs men it will press them into service. Nearly every horse within 100 utiles of the border has been secured by some means or another already, and a stren­ uous effort is being made to secure more. The uncommunicative policy of the Guatemalan government is having a dis­ astrous effect upon the public order, aud many alarms are constantly felt by the residents of the frontier, fearing an Inva­ sion of the mounted Mexican rurales. It Is generally felt that should war ensue, the frontier will be no overrun by troops and pillaging renegades that life will be a burden. WINTER-WHEAT CROP.

The final vote was not secured until 0:30 o'clock at night, but, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, there was an exceptionally full Senate, owing to the interest felt iu tho culmime tion of the long discussion. The Nicar­ aguan minister and many other diplomats interested in the project had seats in the diplomatic galleries throughout the vot­ ing on the many amendments nnd the final question.

But now—but now ’’ She turned to him. her eyes shining with perfect trust—the very heart of love, lore rooted in righteousness. He turned, too. and riasjied her in his arms, with a passion such as even his lover days bad never felt. Then it was the restless craving after uncertain bliss. Now it waa the deep content of satisfied union, each finding in the other more and more every day a perpetual refuge and rest. "My mother told me I would soon get orer my love for yon—and marry some other woman, who would do jiftt ns well. If it hud been, and 1 had lost you. nnd had to lire all my life without you! But now—oh. Silence! what in the world should 1 do without you now ?” Without answering, she looked up nt him, a sudden, strangely earnest look. Roderick, who had begun with a laugh, as if anxious to get back into the light commonplace of life once more, put his arm round her. "Ar? you tired? Let me help you. I think I could almost carry you. Lean on me, dariiag.’ “Yea. 1 always do.” And so, half led, half carried—for she was evidently very weary—they came to their own door. "Wh<t a pleasant door It seems!” Rod­ erick said, as they watched the long gleam from the parlor window across the dark lawn. “I enjoyed Symington. I like luxuries, as I like all pleasant things, but I can do without them. Now. there are certain things I could not do without.” "What are they?” “A peaceful, sunshiny, orderly home, and a wife to love me.” She laughed merrily. “Yea, It is a dear home, it we could only get into it.” For they had found the door fastened—a rare fact-and had been ringing and ring­ ing. till at last Janet apiteared, scared and flurried. "Have you been asleep, Janet? Noth­ ing wrong? No ghosts frightened you?” said Roderick, kindly. "Na, na, but the leddy, she bode me ■teek tbe door." “What lady?” "She came in a carriage, and said she was cotoe to bide here. She’s been wait­ ing in the parlor the*, two hours.” Roderick went hastily In, his wife fol­ lowing. There, still bonneted and shawl­ ed. dressed richly In velvet aryl far, but with a face so haggard that It waa no wonder even her brother did not at first recognise her—sat the "leddy.” “Bella!” . “Yes, it’s me! You didn’t know, I sup­ pose?” . "Dear Bella! so glad to see you.” And he went over and kissed her affectionate­ ly. But Bella made no response. "Stop u minute," she said, in a hard, dry tone. "Don’t be too glad to see me. Ask your wife first. I’m not respected. I’ve run away from my husband.” ‘ Roderick started. “Not with a man—oh. no, thank you! I’ve had enough of men’’—with the ghost of ber old laugh—“oiily with n baby.” Sheopened her fur cloak and discovered the white long clothes o£ a tiny—such n very tiny—infant, with such nn old, with­ ered, ugly tittle face. Nevertheless, Si­ lence sprung to It and took it in her arms* “Oh, you’re quite welcome, if you want it. I don’t, though it’s my own.” said Mrs. Thomson, with another laugh. “A month old, when it was born, I Hated the very sight of it, it was so like its father. Now—well, I endure It, that’s all! Isn’t it a miserable scrap of a thing Y' It certainly was; but in an instant Silence, throwing off her wraps, had sat down to warm its skinny, stone-cold legs by the fire, .with a look on her face thnt even her husband had never seen before. "She seems born to be a mother, which I’m sure I never wns; I nlwnys hated chil­ dren. They look exactly like young frogs or toads. No doubt this will turn out a toad, and spit in my face like—only it’s a feminine, not a masculine, article, thank goodness! It can never grow up a man like him.** “Do you moan your husband?’ said Roderick, gravely. “To be sure. The man I was fool enough to marry. Why didn’t my mother prevent me, as she tried to prevent your marriage? But mine was all right—or she thought so—as she thinks still. I’ve got a handsome house, horses nnd car­ riages. butler, three footmen nnd n page. Didn't I dodge them nil cleverly? Crept out in the dark of the afternoon nnd took (i tram—me, Mrs. Alexander Thomson— a common street tram—to the railway. . What would Sir. Thomson have said? Ha! ha! ba! I wish he knew It, if only , just to vex him.”’ Roderick sat down by his sister, grieved nnd sad. She was in such nn excited state that he did not attempt- a single question, but she went on rapidly talking. •“Wbrtt a hunt there'll be. Not that he cares for me, not two straws, but it isn’t respectable to linve one’s wife ruuning away. And they will think I have gone nind and killed the baby—he knew I hated it. But I am not mad, I nm quite in my solu-r senses. Body—ia that a noise? I told the girl to bolt the front door, some­ body might come after me, though I don't think it. And they never would imagine I had come hero to you.” “No,” said Roderick, with Involuntary bitterness. “Nevertheless. I being still your brother, nnd yon having chosen to take refuge with me, you are safe. Be satisfied.” He laid his hand on her shoulder—she was shaking from head to foot; then unty­ ing her bonnet aud cloak, he made her lean back in tho arm chair. Tears started to Bella's eyes ‘'Thank you; you were nlwnys kind to me, Body, and you have got used to woman's ways. I we. But don’t be uneasy, I shall not fnint—I never do. I’m tough, like mam­ ma, or I should, have been killed long ago. He was such n brute—you’ve no idea That is, when he wns drunk. "Sober, he U—uoU, only a foul!.. I must, bare been blind—many silly girls are”—passing her hand wearily over her eyes—“but, oh. Body, fumy to wake np after a week or two and find yourself tied for life to n drunkard and a fool! A brute, too, as I say. Roderick”—clutching him by the arm—“you, a man with a wife of your own, and—yes, I know!—would you be­ lieve that the very day before that poor little wretch was born, he—he struck mo?” . Roderick sprang to his feet. “Don't get furious, you can do nothing, nobody can. It’s only the drink- He's decent enough, just a fool at most, till he drinks, then he’s a devil; nnd I hate him ns I hate the devil. Ft's right.” “Right or wrong, you must keep quiet,” said the brother, himself making a violent effort nt quietness nnd self-control. "My wife”—lhe instinctive appeal which had boconv? habitual now—"my wife, come here.” Silence came, with the small bundle. ko piteously still, as if only half alive, in her arms. She had been going in and out of the room with it while they talked. "Your bed is quite ready. Come, sis­ ter.” Bella, occupied with Lerself and her brother, had apparently forgotten her brother’s wife. When Silence stood be­ fore her—the young mistFhgs of the bouse, the woman with the womanly heart, which that forlorn babe seemed already to have found out, Lq; it was fast asleep on her warm breast—this other woman, the miserable fine lady, the mother with tho unmothcriy soul, was struck with a ‘mingled feeling, half surprise, half com­ punction. • "Yes, of course we are sisters. But I thought yon would hate me—hate us all. It waa Roderick I ran away to. I never thought of you.” “That was natural. But now, all that are Lis are mine—as is also quite natural. Come.” Bella grasped the offered hand and rose, saying, wtth a feeble laugh, “Body, your wife must be an exceedingly good wom­ an." “Cela va sa;is dire, I hope," said be, trying to laugh os he hurried them away up-stairs, aud sat down orer the fire, thankful to be alone. Most men dislike scenes, he more than most. The sight of his sister, the sound of her familiar voice, even down to the old boyish ]>et-name, which belonged exclu­ sively to those early days—his wife had never used it—affected him deeply. Then, too, he was a man. with all a man’s feeling about marital rights and du­ ties. To find himself sheltering a run­ away wife, though even his own sister, was very distasteful. Still every broth­ erly and manly emotion biased up into righteous indignation at thought of Bella’s wrongs. “To strike ber-actually strike her! Poor, poor girl!

A scene of the wildest and most intense excitement occurred in tbe National House at the conclusion of the -debate on Mr. Hitt’s Hawaiian resolution Friday, grow­ ing out of«a personal difficulty between Granite and Marble Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, aud Mr. Heard, of Missouri, In which epithets like .“impertinent puppy,” “coward,” "scoun­ drel,” ''liar” were bandied.

The Speaker ordered all to lake their seats. Many of the members did so reluctantly. "Take it bock!” tfbonted Mr. Breckin­ ridge, as he glared at Mr. Heard, who stood, like himself, in custody before the bar. "Yon called me an impertinent puj»py.” answered Mr. Heard.

GREAT POWERS WILL UNITE TO READ CHINA A LESSON. Japan Will Not Be Allowed to Annex Any of the Flowery Kingdom's Mainland, but May Take Rome of the islands Together with Cash. Celestials Taken iu Hand. A dispatch to the Ix>ndon Times irom Paris soys that some of the Russian en­ voys have received instructions as to the attitude which Russia, England and France, and through Ruuia's interven­ tion, the United States, intend to take on the questions raised by the war between China and Japan. According to the Times’ correspondent it has been decided that the eventual intervention of these powers at the proper moment shall be ab­ solutely disinterested. China will be asked in her own Interests, as wcli'fis in those of the civilized world, to 0{>en her ports, seeing that the present system has led to China's powerlessness and ruin. The i>owcn> will wait until China admits herself vanquished and sincerely nego­ tiates for peace. It will then be pointed out to Japan that Europe connot allow her to annex an inch of the Chinese main­ land. But the same impossibility does not exist in regard to othqx annexations which will be open to discussion. There will be do intervention concerning ves­ sels, arms and other booty nor to the war indemnity. This question must be settled between the combatants. No objection will be raised to Japan retaining certain positions as pledgee of payment, Ait no commercial stipulations to the disadvant­ age of the jiowcrs will be permitted. The whole world is to profit by any opening of ports or. liberty toipenetrate .into the Interior of China.' Finally the powers will insist that the Chinese currency-in future is to be on the European-system, in order to facilitate the new foreign loan to which China will be obliged to. resort.

Some one tells the little anecdote re­ garding the nlniighty silver dollar: When our first silver dollars wert* to he coined, it wns proposed to place nn eagle on the reverse side of the coin. The adopt Ion of the eagle ns n nation­ al emblem was strenuously opposed by Congressman Lyon ou the ground that the king of birds ought not to lie made the emblem of a nation that lind re­ pudiated kings. Judge Thatcher, Con­ gressman from Massachusetts, then proftosed the goose as belug a very tinmble rvpublkHi bird, and suggest­ ed further that It would be advantageeous ^inasmuch as the goslings might conveniently be placetl on the dimes and other small coins. The mer­ riment that followed nt the expense of Mr. Lyon was greater than his chol­ eric temper r<»ukl lM*ar, and lu» at once sent his page to Jndge Tliatcher with a challenge to a duel. The Judge de­ clined. “What!" shouted Mr. Lyon, “will you be branded as a coward 7’ “Yea," replied the Judge. "I always wab a coward, and you knew it or you would never have sent tue the chal­ lenge.” • Another volley of laughter followed, and Mr. Lyon wisely coucludetl that there was no use trying to fight an vn emy u^ho fired nothing but jokes. They become warm friends afterwards. But the eagle was placed on our coins. Worthy of a Position. In the office of the Chicago- police commissioners n few days ago n uumber of gentlemen were discussing the answers of pollcemeu found in some of the papers secured under the new civil service rules. The discussion brought to the mind of one of the commission­ ers a story he had heard in connection with one of the civil service examina­ tions for positions as letter carriers in Chicago. One of the applicants was a negro, who, on account of an injured hand, was being given on oral examination. He stumbled along tn a way, finding some kind of answer to all the ques­ tions until he was suddenly asked: "What is the capital of TexasT’ The darky .tyas In a quandary. He didn't know.

European economists are alarmed al lhe prospect thnt the United States, the greatrat sugar country in tho world, and always relied upon-to absorb the surplus Euro;>ehn product, will at no distant date' produce all of its owh sugar. Frank Ma­ son, United States Consul General et Frankfort. Germany, has submitted to the State Department a *|H*ctal report on American competition In sugar produc­ tion, which'is full of interesting statistics on the subject. Among other things he shows that the crop of beet-angnr last year exceeded by 700,OOo tons the product of the preceding year. The production of cane sugar hns doubled in the past twenty years, while thnt of la«et sugar has trebled. Careful examinations of the wsxibllitlra of bcotsugar production in tho Unitatl States have been made by Huropcnn corrrapon lcuts who show thnt certain districts, iotably California nnd some of the more Southerly and Westerly-States, enjoy de­ cided natural advantages .over nil the beet-producing countries of Etiroi>o. Four elements enter into the competi­ tion, climate, cost and fertility of land, cost of lal»or nnd the effective ccomomy of the machinery nnd methods of cultiva­ tion and sugar manufacture. In nil but one—cost of labor—the Uuited States has the advantage. An English correspond­ ent shows that whereas beet-growing in Germany, notwithstanding the chonpnras of labor,, costs on an average of $50.30 per acre; in California, in spite of high wages, the net cost docs not exceed per acre, a difference of $32J0 jkt acre In fnvor of the Pacific coast. ‘Laud is also cheaper, nnd the California farmer works a rich virgin soil, while his German rival ia restricted to old, worn-out lands which must be sustained by tho constant use of fertilizers. These facts have, as Mr. Mason shows,: awakened apprehension among Europein economists aud sugar producers, and have greatly depressed the movement in En­ gland tt> plant beets instead of wheaL A report has l>een received by Secretary Morton from United States Consul Mofm in Paris showing the cost of a complete equipment for beet sugar mills of different capacities. The cost of n mill of a capac­ ity of 16% tons is shown to be $lS6.7fM; nf 11 tuns. $138,116. nnd of 5% tuna, of $04,600.

The city's water supply comes from a reservoir and is pumped through a system of mains. The main pipe leads from the city up a. hlH 120 feet high and into a valley be­ yond where Is located the reser­ voir. A few nights ago the main began to empty, nnd thinking a fire had broken out the engineer of the pumphouse started both pumping en­ gine at their full capacity. The en­ gineer . exerted himself and crowded the pumps through the night, and not until morning did he discover what he had accomplished. The main had burst in the city, and In attempt­ ing to keep the pipe filled he had flooded cellars and inundated streets with a vast volume of water. The temperature was far below zero, and In streets, alleys and other places flooded. In working their pumps to the fullest capacity the engineer had drained the reservoir, and the water from the brook empties in so slowly that the intense cold causes it to freeze immediately, and the reservoir itself has become a lake of solid ice. Expert engineers who have figured on the case calculate that it will take until July 4 to thaw out the pond if it continues to freeke ten days longer. eommbuilon for Bay county.

Such a notion has ; established a preju­ dice in the minds of many against the members of tho Up­ per House, but it is 'entirely uncalled for. It is difficult tp count 20 men of nffiueucn la tho Senate to-day, and not more than a dozen millionaires. Accord­ ing to a Washington writer, the great majority are dependent almost, if not .wholly, upon their compensations receiv­ ed from Unde Sam. A glance at the -'"'’.wealth of some of the members wlU not make uninteresting reading. Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, whose term is about to expire, is one of the wealthy men of the Senate. He made his money in meats, having been exten­ sively engaged in _ business as u butch­ ‘ er in former years. Mr. Smith, the ju­ nior Senator from the sandy State, is •ne of the millionfacturer of patent and enameled leath­ er In Newark. Mr. Smith's wealth has not been publicly es­ timated, but it is known to be more than a million.

Mr. McMillan began life humbly, and the great fortune that is now his has nil been gathered by the most diligent effort. Most of his- money hns been made in the manufacture of railway cara nnd steam vessels for the lake trade. He is one of the most charitable men in public life. Ohio has two wealthy Senators. Mr. Bbermau has acquired much of his means latterly in Washington, through shrewd operations in real estate. But Mr. Sher­ man’s wealth is not to be compared with that of his colleague, ' Senator Calvin S. New York nnd I Washington. Mr. | Brice is must liberal with his means nnd probably spends more money than any other man nqwj tn the Senate.

Mr. Quay has acquired his money through shrewd speculations, and is rank­ ed quit.- high among the men of afflu­ ence iu the Senate, though he may not have a million at present. His col­ league. Don Cameron, is probably the only man in the Senate who inherited his .wealth. Tho bulk of his wealth came from his father, the late Senator Cam­ eron. This singular exception to the rule points the fact that tbe American Senate is far different from the English House •f Lords, which is filled with hereditary millionaires. Senator Proctor, of Vermont, is o"e of. the Senators in very easy circumstances. He is one of the richest men in the New England delegation iu Congress.

The nearest calculation that can bo made of' these men's financial affairs gives a total of just twelve men of mil­ lions in the .Senate to-day. These are Aldrich, Cameron, Jones, McMillan, Per­ kins, Proctor and Sherman among the Republicans, and Brice, Camden, Mur­ phy, Smith and Gorman among tbe Dem­ ocrats. There arc now eighty-six Sen­ ators sitting in the chamber, so that these millionaires form but a little over 14 per cent, of the total membership. m’pheurjk. FARMERS’ ALLIANCE IN SESSION Resolutions Passed Denouncing the Inane of Bonds. ‘ The Supreme Council of the National Farmers’' Alliance and Industrial Union met in annual convention at Raleigh, N. C-, Tuesday. Tbe ball in which the meet­ ings are held showed, among other fea­ tures of interest, a large picture of L. L. Polk, tbe first president of the organisa­ tion, and under whose leadership it made its greatest progress and exerted its great­ est influence. United States Senator-elect Marlon Butler, president of the National Alli­ ance, called the council to order and pre­ sented Mayor Badger, who delivered, tho address of welcome. The Mayor, in his remarks, referred to efforts of a malig­ nant character, to create prejudice be­ tween the laborers of tbe city and the la­ borers oFthe country, and hoped that the. influence of the alliance night be direct­ ed toward a cessation of ail such schemes. President Mow borne, of the North Caro­ lina State Alliance, welcomed the council on behalf of the State. Responses were made by H. L. Loucks, of South Dakota, ex-prcaldent of the organization, snd I. E. Dean, of New York. At the evening me- ling of tho council the following resolutions on the currency question were adopted: "Whereas, It ia currently reported that another bond issue has been determined upon by the President; nnd "Whereas, In our opinion existing stat­ ute laws do not authorize ouch issue, neither do present emergencies require it: and "Whereas, The power is now reposed in the general government to meet such pressing contingencies by the plain terms of existing laws; therefore, "Resolved, That this national council of the Farmers’ Alliance nnd Industrial Union, In regular annual session assem­ bled, enter our solemn and most earnest protest ngainst such issue. "Resolved, That instead, the adminis­ tration be urged to employ the option al­ lowed by law and pay out silver as well tas gold when coin is demanded for ths treasury notes. “Resolved, That if this does not end the present emergency, the government be requested to issue non-interest bearing full legal tender treasury notes."

Nobody guessed the facta about the bond sale—as to the amount of bonds, tho terms of sale or the method that would be taken to Inform the public as to the particulars of the transaction. The se­ cret waa well guarded, and tbe result shows that even those who thought them­ selves best informed were deceived.

The President says: “Since my recent communication to Congress calling attention to our finan­ cial condition and suggesting legislation which I deemed essential to our national welfare and credit, the anxiety and ap­ prehension then existing in business cir­ cles have continued. As a precaution, therefore, against the failure of timely legislative aid through congressional ac­ tion. caution* preparations have been pending to employ to the best possible adtagc, in default of better means, such ex­ ecutive authority as may, without addi­ tional legislation, be exercised for tho purpose of re-enforcing nnd maintaining in our treasury an wloquatc and safe gold reserve. In the judgment of those especially charged with this responsibil­ ity, the business situation is so critical am! tbe legislative situation is so unprom­ ising, with the omission thus far on the part of the Congress to beneficially en­ large the powers of the Secretary of tho Treasury in the premiws, as to enjoin immediate executive action with the facil­ ities now at hand. Therefore, in pursu­ ance of section 3700 of the Revised Stat­ utes, the details of an arrangement have thia day been concluded with parties abundantly able to fulfill their undertak­ ing whereby bonds of the United States authorized under the act of July 14,1875, payable in coin thirty years after their date, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, to the amount of a little less than $62,400.000 are to be issued for the purchase of gold coin amounting to a num slightly in excess of $65,000,000 to be delivered to the treasury of the United States, which turn, added. to the gold now held iu reserve, will so rest in such reserve «a -to make It amount to something uu>re Uuiu $1 (XI,000.000.

The bill was beaten before it reached ita last parliamentary stage. This result was reached after three days of spirited and at times heated debate, , and at the end of a seven-hour session. From 11 until 340 o'clock, when the bill with the pending substitutes waa reported to the House from the committee of the whole, amendment* were offered in rapid succession, most of which were,voted down as fast as they were offered.

When the question came up on the third reading and engrossment of the bill the whole opposition concentrated.

The Importance of Mechanical In* N every one of the original thirteen States there are pointed oat buildings still standing, or their sites, where Washington is said to have made his headquar­ ters during' the Revolution­ ary War. Too little atten­ tion has been paid to these places and historians might make a very Interesting study of the great leader’s headquarters should they de­ vote to the matter time and care. As it is, with the de­ cay of many of these ancient building’s there Is likely to pass away in­ teresting relics of the early history of our. country which ahoujd be preserved for ths instruction and edification of pos­ terity. In this article pictures are given of some few of these Interesting places where Washington and his generals lived and which were the background for deeds and counsels so important iu our coun­ try’s early life. It wns In April, 1776, that Washington first went to New York and took up bis headquarters there. They were .in a house on Pearl street, opposite Cedar. There be remained until summoned to visit Congress at Philadelphia toward the end of May. On his return, June 0, ho took up his abode at the Mortimer house, later known as Richmond Hill. The presence of Mrs. Washington nnd tho un­ healthy condition of the city of New York at that time induced the command•r-ln-chief to change his headquarters from the Pearl street house to this more salnbrious situation. Hcrq Washington remained until the evacuation in Septem­ ber, when he removed to the Roger Mor­ ris house, Harlem Heights. It was October 23, 177G, that Washing­ ton established himself at White Plains. Ills headquarters here were at the Miller house, then located to the north of ths village. This house, which is still stand­ ing and well preserved, gained its name from its original owner, Elijah Millcr.adjutant of Col. James Drake's Westches­ ter Regiment of minute men. It is n frame building covercu with clapboards. Tho roof at the southeast front projects so that a proty portico is formed. This stylo of architecture was very popular in many of the country cottages of that pe­ riod. Washington remained here until November 14, when he crossed into New Jersey and established himself at LlackAnother of the headquarters of Wash­ ington abort which cluster interesting as­ sociations is at Ncshaminy. By Sunday, August 10, 1777, the army had moved from Schuylkill Falls and Washington had taken up his headquarters at Ncsha­ miny camp, Bucks County, Pa., twenty miles north of Philadelphia. The house •ecupled by Washington was built of ■tone, and Is still standing on tho old New York road, near the bridge over the little Neshamlny creek, about half a mile above the present village of Hartsville. The HUill army remained at Ncshaminy until Au­ gust 23, when it moved down the old York road and encamped for the night near Nicetown. Washington made his head­ quarters at Stenton, tbe old homestead of the Logan family. It was during the autumn of 1777 that Waahlngton established headquarters at White Marsh. These were at a large stone house about half a mile east from Camp Hill station, on the North Pennsyl­ vania Railroad. This house is still stand­ ing. It faces the. south and is two and a half stories in height. It was modern­ ised in 1854 nnd a large wing, originally the dining hall, removed from the west end. In Revolutionary days it was a sort •f "baronial hall." owned by George Em­ tan, a wealthy Philadelphia. Charles T. Alman is the present owner and occupant. A very interesting building is the house Washington occupied at Valley Forge in 1777-1778. It is still standing and is in a good state of preservation. About it are gathered many associations, which are calculated to more the patriotic per­ son deeply. In June, 1781, Washington moved from West Point, where be had been for some iagton. The building was at once restor­ ed by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, and the place formally dedi­ cated July 4 of that year. In 1865, by the State's authority, tbe care of tho prop­ erty passed to the city authorities, where it remained until 1874, when the Legis­ ton’s letters, being stored within Its lature appointed, by act of May 11. a walls.

The latent fires In patriot hearts To mighty flame burst forth, And loud the call for freemen all To rteo and prove their worth. Scarce had the echoes died awny, Ere legions sought the fields of fray. In that great hour of need, the Lord, In mighty wisdom,-raised A man to wield the lender's sword, Where fires of battle blazed. A man of valor, in whose breast Was throned a loyal heart, A man whoso hand was nerved to rend The galling chains apart. And hurl tho hosts of royalty Back in defeat across the sea.

Some years later it became tho rcaidenco of Dr. John Miltagton, who was tho wor­ thy friend and associate of such men ns Sir Humphrey Davy, Faraday, Her­ schel, Brewster and I-ord Brougham. Tbe old house was also for some time the home of tho Harrison family. Among tho associations of tho [met connected with this mansion is n legend to the effect Great guns and heavy armor will be only incidentals In the'next great war. Mechanical ingenuity in matters of offense hnd defense is lieing expended In many other lines of fully equal im­ portance. ami a vast array of war ap­ paratus, In which even tbe civilian jnust be Interested, Is being put in readi­ ness for action should the demand for it suddenly come. Not the least inter­ esting product of military inventive : genius Is tbe disappearing gun carriage, of which no end of modifications bare been proposed and in part executed during the' past decade, though tbe principle of the apparatus was applied to its specific purpose much longer ago than tuny be generally supposed. The first arrangement of disappearing gun and carriage, mounted in a circular pit, seems to have been made oh Jamestown Island, In Virginia, In the year during the great civil war, a conical pit hating been dug In wjilch an 8-inch gun was mounted. The piece was so placed on a platform nt the bottom of the pit that, when pivoting, the muzzle was just clear of tbe ground. In this way an all-round lire was made possible. In 1861 nnd 18412 guns mounted nt sev­ eral points were similarly treated, but the pits were dug deep enough to admit of embrasures. Mr. Beverly -Kennon, then in tbe confederate service, has been credited with tbe design of this early contrivance and also with that of a counterpoise battery, perfected after be had entered, tbe Egyptian service Our stricken land o’er hill and plain Was wounded with the graves In which through all these years have lain Tbe fallen hero braves. • .

It is a plain ofie-story building, with a high sloping roQf much higher than the body of the bouse. It Is built of stone with walls two feet thick. The roof is supported by long timbers of red cedar, rough hewn, which to this day give out the delicate perfume of this wood. The main room on the first floor is low. with heavy rough-hewn timbers sustaining the floor above and is called “the room of seven doors and one window.” Ou one side is a huge open fireplace big enough to roast an ox in. Standing on the hearth­ stone one can look up the tall chimuey and see tbe sky above.

The German nrmy has long been no­ torious for the brutal manner in which the private soldiers were treated by tbe non-commissioned officers and oth­ er officers. The system was Inangurat­ ed by tbe Great Frederick, and the mil­ itary authorities since bls day seemed unwilling to allow It to die out. Hap­ pily tbe present Emperor neems de­ termined tn have none of it His im­ perial rescript on the subject forbid­ ding any officer to strike bls men made some sensation when it was Issued, though It was commonly said In army circles that it would soon be a dead let­ ter. A few recent cases prove tbe con­ trary. A well-known officer was recently dismissed from the service with igno­ miny for tbe offense of striking a man In the ranks, the Emperor personally Indorsing the order for his dismissal with a severe and cutting remark. Last week at Breslau a sergei-.nt who was charged with ill-treating a soldier was tried for the offense by a council of war, was sentenced to two years’ Im­ prisonment In a fortress, nud tthen bis sentence has expired to rejoin bls regiment as a soldier of the secund class.

The old man once said, "That lad's too deep for me altogether.’’ recoil. The only operation that reqnlrew any expenditure of force is the actual loading of tlx* gun, and that is reduced to a minimum. A VENOM-SPITTING REPTILE. OUR BUDGET OF FUN. HUMOROUS SAYINGS AND DO­ INGS HERE AND THERE. The Dcadl G. R. O’Reilly writes some very In­ teresting facts about the cobra, deadliest of all snakes. He asserts that it is able to squirt its venom from the ground to tbe height of a man’s face. So nervous Is the cobra that it will strike at n moving object before it has dome within its reach. It Is very wasteful of Its venom. Mr.’O’Rellly was first convinced of tbe venom-spitting habit of the cobra by this incident: "One day, being alone in the bash.. I saw a cobra band­ ed with black and white. He was in an open glade, gilding through tbe herbage, delaying a little perhaps for an opportunity to get at some birds that were cliatterlug and hoppjng about on-the branches of a thorny, yellow-blossomed acacia. The sun was blazing down fiercely on him, as, with half-distended hood bold close to tho ground, be slowly passed through the leaves and flowers. For a few minutes I watched his movements through my binocular glass; but fearing he might notice me ami escape In some hole, I picked up my six-foot bunting stick and rushed toward 1dm, Intending to press his head to the ground with It, and then take him by tbe neck with my baud. He saw me coming, and like a valiant warrior that knew hU power he faced around qnd stood erect with ‘expanded hood and quivering tongue ready to receive me. His bright black eyes sparkled with energetic de­ fiance. nud every fibre nf his being was electrified with excitement. “While I was yet ten feet away ho struck toward me with such force that the Impetus carried him flat to the ground. In trying to get my stick across bls nock be dodged It, ami it came instead across the middle of bls body. At this moment he was be­ tween me and the sun, with about five foot between bls face nud mine. *1 looked Into his eyes and held him down firmly. His rage seemed redoubled. several years later as colonel of const defenses. This later battery, It would appear, was sunkentirely below tbe sur­ face of the ground, and its guns, tuaga•ziucs and garrison were always out nf harm's way except during tbe few sec­ onds when the gun was raised above the ground level to be trained and Bred. Practical test during tbe bombardment of Alexandria Jn 1882 conclusively dem­ onstrated the value of this arrange­ ment,' and It seems strange that the capabilities of tbe system’ should not have been more widely recognized and appreciated at.that time. Several years later, however, the merits of such dis­ appearing batteries were accorded something like their just measure of consideration, and foreign powers par­ ticularly seemed to suddenly And In them advantages well worth securing, so that now they are well recognized He leaned backward to make n wore means of defense, likely to perform Im­ vigorous dash at me, nnd as be struck portant service in any International un­ forward tbe mouth partially opened, pleasantnesses which may require the nud two tiny streams of venom shot from bls fangs as from a syringe, one of them catchtag me ou the face just beneath tho eye.

The moot notable feature of the Lincoln memorial exercises at Chicago wti tho speech of Colonel Henry Watterson, of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Watterson began hl* oration by a reference to the i>oi*e and dignity of the statesmen in knee breeches and powdered wigs who signed the Dec­ laration of Independence and framed the Constitution, and who made their influ­ ence frit upon life and thought long after the cchoc* of Bunker Hill nnd Yorktown had died away. It was not until th© tantitution of African slavery got Into poli­ tics as a vital force that Congress be. esmo a bear garden. The men who sign­ ed tho declaration and tbelr immediate ■accessors^ were succeeded by a set of party leaders much less decorous and much more self-confident. Continuing, the lecturer said in part: There were Seward and Sumner and Chase, Corwin and Ben Wade, Trumbull and Fessenden, Hale and Collamer and Grimes, and Greeley, our latter-day Franklin. There were Toombs and Ham­ mond, and Slidell nnd Wigfall, and the •two little giants, Douglas and'Stephen*, and Yancey nud Mason, and Jefferson Davis. With them soft words buttered no parsnips and they cared little how many pitchers qilgbt be broken by rude one*. The issue between them did not require a diagram to explain It. It was so simple a child could understand it It read, human slavery against human free­ dom, slave labor against free labor, and involved a conflict as inevitable ns it was Irrepressible. k Lincoln Enter* the Fray. Amid the noise and confusion, the dash­ ing of intellects like sabers bright, and the booming of the big oratorical guns of the North and the South, now definitely arrayed, there came one day into the Northern comp one of the oddest figures imaginable, the figure of a man who, lu ■plto of'an appearance somewhat out of line, carried a serious aspect, if not the suggestion of power, nnd, pausing a mo­ ment to utter a single sentence that could be heard above the din, passed on and for a moment disappeared. The sentence was pregnant with meaning. Tbe man boro a eommiraion from God on high! He said: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this Government cannot enduro permanently half free and half slave. I do not ex[>ect the Union to be diHsoIved; I do not expect the house to fall, but I do expect it will cease to be divided." He wm Abraham Lincoln. How shall I describe him to you? Shall I do so a* he appeared to me when I first raw him immediately on his arrival at the national capital, the chosen President of the United States, his appearance quite* ns strhnge a* the story of hi* life, which was then but half known nnd half told, or shall I use the language of another and more vivid word-painter? In January, 1801,.Colonel A. K.

I doubt wheth­ er I wholly concealed my disappointment nt meeting him.

Such wns the picture I met in the person of Abraham Lincoln.

I forgot all the grotesque quali­ ties which so confounded me when I first greeted him. Before half an hour had passed I learned not only to respect, but, indeed, to revereuce the man."

I met the newly elected President the afternoon of the day in the ea*|r morning of which he had arrived in Washington. It was a Saturday, 1 think.

I wtnt tr say just ffi-re a few word* about Mr. Lincoln's relation to th* South and'toward the people of the South. He wa* himself a Southern man. He and all his tribe were Southerners.

But the South doea not know, except a* a kind of hearsay, that he waa a friend; the one friend who had the power and the will to ante it from Itself. The direst blow that could have been inflicted upon tho South waa deliv­ ered by tbe asrasain'a bullet that atruck him down. . ' Throughout tbe wild contention that preceded the war, amid the lurid paaalona that attended tbe war itself, not one bitter or narrow word escaped the lipa of Abra­ ham Lincoln, whilst there was hardly a day that he was not projecting bls big, sturdy personality between some South­ ern man or woman and danger. • The Lawn of Inspiration. From Caesar to Bismarck and Glad­ stone the world has had its statesmen and its soldiera—men who rose to eminence and power stop by step, through a serie* of geometric progression, a* it were, each advancement following in refifalar order one after the other, the whole obedient to well-eatabliabcd anff well-understood law* of cause and effect. They were not what we call “men of destiny." They were “men of tbe time.” They were men whose career* had a beginning, a middle, nnd an end. rounding of live* with histories, full It mny be of interesting nnd exciting events, but comprehensive nnd compre­ hensible; simple, clear, complete. The Inspired men are fewer. Whence their emanation, where nnd how they got their power, and by what rule they lived, moved nnd hnd their being, we know not. There Is no explication to their lives. They rose from shadow and they went in mist. We ace them, feel them, but we know them not. They came. God’s word upon th(ir lips; they did their office, God's man­ tle about them; and they juiraed away, God's holy light between the world and them, leaving behind a memory, half mor­ tal and half myth. From first to last they were the creation* of some special Provi­ dence, bntliiug the wit of man to fathom, defeating the machinations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, and, their work done, passing from the scene n« myste­ riously as they had come ujwn it. Tricl by this standard where shall we find all illustration more impressive than Abraham Lincoln, whose career might be chanted by a Greek chorus n* at once the prelude and the epilogue of the most inijK-rial theme of moderfl times. Born as lowly as the Son of God, in n hovel; of what ancestry we know not nnd care n6t; reared in penury, squalor, with no gleam of light or fair surroundings; without external graces, actual or acquir­ ed; without name or fame or official train­ ing; it was reserved for this strange be­ ing, late in life, to be snatched from ob­ scurity, raised to supreme command at n supreme moment, nud intrusted with the destiny of n nation. The great leaders of bi* pqrty, the most experienced and accomplished public men of the day, were made to stand aside; were sent to the rear, whilst this fantas­ tic figure was led by unseen hands to the front nnd given the reins of power. It is immaterial whether we were for him or ngninst him—wholly immaterial. That, during four year*, carrying with them such a pressure ot responsibility as the world never witnessed before, he fiHcd the vast space allotted him in the eyes and actions of mankind, is to say that be was inspired of God, for nowhere else could be have acquired the wisdom and the grace indispensable to his mission. Where did Shakespeare get his genius? Where did Mozart get bis music? " Whose hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plow­ man, and stayed the life of the German priest? God, God, nnd God alone; nnd as surely ft* these were raised up by God, inspired by God, was Abraham Lincoln; and a thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic i>oem will be filled with greater wonder, or be followed by man­ kind with deeper feeling, than that which tells of his life and death.

Her Machinery Disabled, bat All on Board Arc Rafe—Piston Kod Breaks Twice On the Way Over, and Severn Rtortn* Hinder Repair*—Lying for Hour* Perfectly Helpless in Howl­ ing Gale*—Anxiety for Her Passen­ ger* Give* Way to Wild Rejoicing. L« Gascogne, the elgbt-day-overdue French steamship, limped into port un­ der her own steam at New York Monday, with three red lights hanging from her mizzen mast as a signal that she was dis­ abled. The vessel was a moving moun­ tain of ice. Her passengers were all on deck, some of them singing and most of them cheering as persons nre wont to do when their minds are suddenly relieved of a heavy strain. For thirteen days of a voyage lasting sixteen days tbe ship had been disabled, one of her main piston rods having brok­ en on her third day out from Havre. For sixteen hours on that fateful third day the vessel was hove to while the break was being repaired. It was comparative­ ly good weather when the break occurred, but the steamer was doomed to run into some ot the nastiest of her voyage. When the break had been reimired th* steamer proceeded on her wny, but under greatly reduced speed. When near th* banks of Newfoundland, La Gascoga* ran into a gale that increased to hurri­ cane force. Machinery Breaks Again. While off Sable Island the machinery broke down again, and the steamer was hove to again, this time for forty-on* hours. During all this period the engine* did not make a single revolution. When the second repairs had lx>en made th* steamer Started ahead once more under still further reduced power, aud headed toward the Long Island coast. It is a remarkable fact that during th* entire voyage across the Atlanffc I^i Gas­ cogne did nut sight a steamer until she passed one lx>und for Philadelphia lat* Sunday. l.atc Monday afternoon tho French steamer signaled Fire Island and then proceeded toward Saudy Hook light­ ship. No Panic Among the Passenger*. While the passengers were considerably worried on account of tho delay, there wns never a imuic among them. They knew their ship was stanch, and they had every confidence lu their captain. And, besides, they knew that the ship was not totally disabled. But they were uervous and apprehensive nt times, and they had­ ed the conclusion of their voyage with joy. They cheered the captain and they cheered the crew aud they cheered tho tugs that came out to meet them. • The fact that La Gascogne was safe was established by the fact that about 5 o’clock Monday afternoon it wns ob­ served from the Fire Island light-house and at the time was abreast of the Shinnecuck light, eastward from Fire Island. The steamer was proceeding slowly, but had nu signals for assistance displayed. Ali that was known was that it showed the three red balls, denoting that its ma­ chinery was disabled, but it could pro• • •■•I without outside aid. The fact that two steamers were hear the Incundiig Frenchman gave rise to the report that La Gascogne was being towed into port, nnd as this story passed from mouth to mouth the condition of the delayed steam­ er became greatly exaggerated until it was generally believed I«a Gascogne %*** almost a total and helpless wreck. Later advices, however, dispelled all these sup­ positions. • Forget Had Given It Up. Even as late ns Monday afternoon the French line agent, Mr. Forget, to his in­ timate friend* had given up the Inst ves­ tige of hope he hnd concerning La Gas­ cogne. But three hours later there came a rift in the black cloud of despair, and the brief message that La Gascogne was sighted off Fire Island sent a thrill of joy through every heart in New York. The bulletins told the story with exasperating briefness and lack of detail. But it was the fact of safety alone that the [xviple craved, nnd this made all rejoice. Agent Forget for a moment was rendered speechless, which evidenced how anxious he had been for the safety of La G**cogue. Then he regained himself and became wildly hilarious. He shouted, ran here and there, grasping the hand of this one and that one, nnd fairly jumped up and down over the floor iu the excite­ ment of the moment. Then be put on his coat and started for the French line pier nt the foot of Morton street, where a tug had been in readincu for days to take him to meet La Gascogne should it b* sighted. The story of the captains of tbe two steamers that had overhauled I at Gas­ cogne off tho Long Island coast added nothing to the sum of knowledge of tho awful voyage ot the Frenchman The Washington is a tank steamer of tiie Rotterdam Tank IJne. The Frenchman, the Captain says, was moving at about eight knots an hour. The Washington, itself a slow steamer, came opposite lai Gascogne, but as no signals were dis­ played, nnd haring no knowledge that it was overdue he staid ou his course like any good skijtper would bound for New York iu such weather and after such gales.

A couple of hours later up came the Bo­ livia of the Anchor line from Gibraltar, Jan. 23, itself with * long nnd tedious jtaraagc to Its credit, and It also gave a critical eye to the slow-going express Steamer. Then La Gascogne was near enough to Fire Island to make itself known, and had up its flag numbers aud three red balls as well. The Bolivia's captain saw ut a glance bis services were not needed. The signal was to tell th* observer at Fire Island that the machin­ ery nr*a disabled, but that the stvaiue* needed no assistance. �Saturday, Feb. 22 Dornolim Monitor We will sell at our present eighteen persons fie Ida a* medical miaalonaru-N.

A Comprehcaaive Digest of the Pro­ ceeding* in tbe Leglalative Cham­ ber* at Washington — Matters that Concern the Pesopic. Too Liberal for Universalist*. Rev. A. N. Airott. one of the most capa­ ble minister* of the Universalist denom­ ination tn tlie West, lias been ouspende.1 from the fellowship of tbe church for al­ leged heresy. Tho charge is that lie i« too liberal ft>r this ®xlaiw«d liberal church. Mr. Alcott bn* the distinction of being the first pastor to be suspended on a similar charge from tbe Universalist fellowship. Mr. Alcott Is secretary of tho iniaoia State Congrcm of Liberal Relig­ ion* and pastor uf a large awl influenzal t’uiversalist drarch in Elgin. One of the peculiar thing* about hi* suspension from the denomination is that at the same time lie retain* liis position a* nominal pastor of tho Elgin church.

He will file nn npi>enl from the committee’s dedslon which will lie heard by the-Sfote Trustees within the next ninety days. Heresy trials and controversies arc a now thing in ihe Universalist church nnd Mr. Alcott expresses groat surprise that a minister should be suspended because he is too liberal.

One .trouble with wire fences is tbe liability of tbe wires to become loose, sagging down or Iosina their tension.

This lower end is subject to the action of frost, decay, and the liability of the stone or other substance against which it rests to become dis­ placed. By the plan shown herewith this trouble Is obviated and a firm anchorage secured. The two end posts are connected atAiiQtop by a strip or pole a, two two l*ytli>vo Inch strips tn m are nailed in the form an X to the top and bottom of tho posts; they are also firmly connected together at the center by bolts or spikes.

The status of pensioners of Indian wars is discussed in a rcj»ort made by Rcprewntative Tawney, of Minnesota, upon the bill introduced by Representative Her­ mann, of Oregon, and favorably reported from tbe Committee on Pensions. Its purpose is to enlarge the scope of the act granting service pensions to survivors of the wars of 18112 to 18-12 so that it will include the veterans of all recognized In­ dian wars up to 1850. In many regiments serving in these wars the rojls contain repetitions caused by re-enlistments in different companies, and this, it is esti­ mated, will reduce the number of benefi­ ciaries at least 700. making the total num­ tier of the survivors of these wnrs’about 4,000. Most of these survivors are in needy circumstance*, while all are in old age, and, ns estimated by the commis­ sioner of (tensions, the average (tension­ able period cannot extend beyond about seven year*. Many of these aged men were omitted from the net pensioning sur­ vivors of ludian wars between 1S32 and 1842. and for thia reason this present bill is mure just, since it includes all the sur­ vivors of (be recognized Indian war* prior to 1850. FATAL FIRE~At1iOT SPRINGS. Three Live* Lost and Building* Worth 975,000 Destroyed. Three lives were lost and $75,000 worth of property destroyed in a fire at Hot Springs. Ark. Nearly all the property de-, stfoyed was boarding houses, 'lite dead are: Mra. Saiumou. Mrs. McLeod. un­ known woman. A Mr. -Wing, of Glens Falls, N. Y„ a Mr*.-llerox. Itonrding house keeper, and Mr. and Mra. Bronson, of Macon, Mo., were slightly injured in jumping from burning buildings. The fire originated in a bakery on Ouachita avenue, over which were furnished rooms. Here Mrs. Sammon. who kept the roams, was burned. Tim other buildings burned were the Igtclede, loss $6,000; the Oua­ chita. loss $5,000; the Illinois, $4,000; ths Missouri, $3,000; the Oak Lawn. $5,000; the Bloomingtun. $0,000; II. M.

There Is very little insurance, the loss being practically total. Frozen in the Storm. Among the casualties of tbe snowstorm in the South was the death of a hunting party in the woods of tbe Alliance planta­ tion, alwut nineteen miles below New Orleans. Four men set out for a day's hunt in the woods. No fears were enter­ tained when the party remained out all night, but when they did nut return the next day a search parly went out. The four unfortunate men were found frozen to death in a kneeling attitude. Three Hundred Muy Be Dead. The Paris Quotidien 111 tint re prints a report with reservations that. Col. Mon­ toil's exposition has been surprised and attacked by natives nt Grand Baxram. on the African gold coast, and 300 of them killed. The remaining half of the force, the report says, were driven from their line of march and their retreat is said to be cut off. The authorities have uo news confirming this rejxirt. No Investigation Ordered. It is positively denied nt the Navy De(mrtmout that any report bns been re­ ceived nt the dettartinent from Admiral Beardslee, commanding the Pacific sta­ tion, and now nt Honolulu, condemning tbe character of the work at Mare Island nary yard, or that Secretary Herbert has ordered an investigation of affairs at the navy yard.

Gcrwta Beet 8tt*sr India*try Handi­ capped by American Tas. In a-sped*! report to the State Depart­ ment ujion th* production of German beet root sugar United States Consul Muth, at Magdeburg, presents some facts which explain in a measure the persistence of tbe German Government in trying to se­ cure the removal of our discriminating duty upon sugar. The report shows that even this small duty of one-teqth of a rent per pound means a great deal tu the Germans, for the prosperity of vast inter­ est* depends upon a considerable exten­ sion of their sugar market in foreign countries, and so unrrokr is tbe margin between profit and lose, owing to overpro­ duction and foreign competition, that this cannot be achieved under the slightest handicap in duties or charges. Consul Muth says that the German beet sugar Industry is (Missing through a serious crisis. There has been a great increase in production, from 24,509.000 hundred­ weight in 1892-93 to 27,500,000 in 1893IN. Tills year the crop will reach 30,000,­ 000 hundredweight. .. In consequence prices have been falling below tbe cost of production. In 1893-94 raw sugar sold nt 12 25-100 marks per hundredweight, and the actual cost of production found the balances on the wrong side, but ths present season will witness greater loss. WOMEN ARE TO REBEL. Would Set Up a Rival Government of Their Own in Kansas. The women suffragists of Kansas, dis­ couraged and in despair by tbe refusal of tbe men at the election last fall to give them the right to vote, and goaded to desperation by the indifference of the Re­ publicans of' the Legislature to submit the proposition again, are planning to set up a government of their own, says a Topeka dispatch. This statement may not be credited generally, but it is a fact that there are intelligent women in Kan­ sas who contemplate just such- a step. Al­ ready they have made the first draft of a declaration of Independence, and th-y are now engaged in the preparation of a constitution and'a bill of rights, and while their project, of course, will come to nothing, so far as tbe proposed govern­ ment is concerned, the step, should they take It,- would open a qew line of thought upon the subject of woman suffrage. Th* women who nre in the movement—con­ spiracy it would be railed if men were in it-^ere serious, and they really believe that they could carry out their purpose uhould they make a start in it. DAMAGE BY FIXH)D8 IN SPAIN. Several Cltic* Have Been Inundated by the Rapidly Rixing River*. The River Segura, which flows through the Spanish provinces of Murein and Ali­ cante into the Mediterranean, has overfltjvcd its banks, and considerable dam­ age has been done at many places. A portion of the city of Orihcula. in Ali­ cante, ix Inundated, and the railway from there to the City of Alicante, the capital of the province, is submerged. The River Tagus is also rising, and the town of Aranjuez, about thirty miles southeast of Madrid, where there was a royal palace. Is threatened with inunda­ tion. The royal residence itself is iu dan­ ger of being reached by the water. IN THE WAY OF TRADE. Cheap Farm Product* and Restricted Productions. II. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: “Another week's exports of gold and withdrawals from the treasury have been almost entirely stopped by the contract for purchases of gold from Messrs. Belmont and Morgan. For the moment business only waits to know whether sales of American securities and withdrawals of gold from tbe treasury have been lastiiigly stopped by the re­ markable increase of confidence. The to uhutnclcx which block the path, just now are exceeding cheapness of farm products and restricted operations in the industries. There has been no gain in prices of farm products on the whole."

The Netherlands form tbe western end of the vast plain that crosses Eu­ rope from the east to Went. From 100 to 200 miles in width. It has no eleva­ tion. greater than 300 feet until tbe foothills of the Ural Mountains are reached. In Holland the plain readies the sea and really sinks below the sea level, for the greater part of this sin­ gular country Is lower than the level even of the lowest tides, and is -kept from overflow only .by constant 'vigi­ lance. unremitting exertion and a lib­ eral outlay of money. The dike system of Holland is of an antiquity so great that history does not mention its be­ ginning. The Roman invaders of this country in the century before the Christian era found a system of arti­ ficial sea walls in use, iwrliapH not very extensive, nor very efficient, but nevertheless sufficient to meet ordinary emergencies, nnd from that time to this there never lias been a year, during which the Hollanders were not looking after their dikes, except one. The worid's history records no more des­ perate expedient than that adopted by William the Stadtlmlder, who resolved to cut the dikes and let In tho sen, rath­ er than submit to the French invaders, but the device was entirely successful; the French army was literally drowned out of the country, and the Hollanders remained victors, though retaining sov­ ereignty of only, watery waste. Every other year the dikes have been watch­ ed with scrupulous care. Day nnd night watchmen patrol their whole length .with keen eyes, for tho tiniest leak would, In a few hours, become a crevasse that no earthly power could stop. A break would mean the inunda­ tion of thousands of -acres, the blot­ ting'out of thousands of Ilves. There have been several such breaks. In 1424 there was one famous as the Inun- CANAL TRANSPORTATION. beyond the city gates, and over 200,000 datlon of Dort High water In the bodies were there Interred.

All the low country was inundated ami thellrowncd numbered more than -IdO.OOO. There never were more frightful disasters, and that they nre remembered in Hol­ land is proved by the zeal with which the dikes nre kept up aud the Interest shown in them not .only by the state, but by every citizen.

All the low re­ gions of Holland are ,:i network of artificial waterways, along which'float vessels bearing all sorts of town goods to the country and nil varie­ ties of country produce to the towns. These artificial waterways are of every size^froin the huge ship canal that con­ nects Amsterdam with the ocean to (he brunch country canal six dr eight feet wide, that was constructed because some country town wanted to give it­ self airs over its neighbor*; but all are alike in one respect, In that all are cov­ ered with boats, sometimes drawn by a horse, sometime* by a horse and a cow. sometimes by a man. or a man harness­ ed up with a dog or steer or donkey.

Here is an opening for some of our farmers to combine, build a canning factor)* and grow green peas. They will prove morn profitable than cereal crops. The Wide-Awake Farmer. As the wants of the people increase there Is not only a greater cousump*. tion, but more variety is sought. If the world has cbnngtxl aud electricity is beginning to'fcupptaut bonus nnd men, the farm is not exempt from the Influ­ ence of progress. The articles used ns food, and the dishes prepared, are very different from those of a century ago. Many fruits nnd vegetables now In general use were unknown at rite beginning of-tbe present century. If the farmer Is to keep pace with those engaged- in othef industries, be must change bls methods and his crops, io correspond with conditions not of his ovfn choosing, and meet the consumers of his products with commodities of a kind l>ctter adapted to their wants, nnd not such as he may prefer to grow for himself. Every year witnesses something new In the field of agricul­ ture, aud no fanner should be content to follow n beaten path,- but should branch out and endeavor to take ad­ vantage of every opportunity for pro­ ducing something on the farm that will afford him a larger profit than, he se•ur<‘«l the previous year. The fact Is conceded that the low prices for grain are caused by the i bcnpcuing of the cost by the use of improved labvr-savingjmplements nnd machinery on the farm, ahd the day when a crop must be cultivated be­ cause it requires loss tabor than some other lias passed. The crofts that pay best now are those that are the most costly to produce, bemuse they nre grown lew abundantly than the cheap­ er kinds. Corn, wheat nnd outs are grown nt one-fourth the cost of former times, and the old prices will never return unless the misfortune of a fam­ ine should occur, which Is hardly pos­ sible In a country with such diversity of climate ns ours. There are crops grow.) In tills cotfntry which apparent­ ly’ are very targe, but which do not supply onr home markets, nnd among them are potatoes and onions, nnd this is due to the fact that they require more labor than coni or wheat. Beans, pens, apples, cherries, quinces nnd some of the garden crops are often be­ low the amount required Cor the sup­ ply of the home markets. It is not stip|x»sed that fanners will suddenly revolutionize their methods, but It will lie nn advantage for them to study tbe markets ami statistics, and endeavor to learn what mny be re­ quired. Labor should always be con­ sidered in growing a special crop, for It enters Into the prices nnd tbe re­ muneration. for such expense Is never overlooked. It Is tabor that makes the value, aud, while it is well tp cheapen the labor, yet the amount of labor re­ quired should never deter one from growing a crop. A crop that.pays well one year may not be profitable the npxt. as there Is an inducement. by higher prices, for the fanners to seek tbe crop that pays best, but there are too many farmers who adhere closely to certain crops nnd thereby fall to secure the highest prices or largest profit. The progressive farmer will keep himself well Informed, and be always prepared to avail’ himself of the advantages open by growing a va­ riety of crops In order to satisfy the demands of all classes.—Philadelphia Record.

One cause of weeds flourishing on some soils is that they thrive on plant ftiotta left over by the grain crop, a condition which renders the soil im­ poverished for other grain crops, yet very fertile for weeds bt*cause the weeds are able to get a good start, make rapid growth, secure abundant moisture below the surface, and de­ prive the land of that which' was not utilized by the crops, the result being that the soil Is still further impover bthed. This may be prevented by growing root crops after corn, to bo followed by clover or some grass crop. Farm Note*. Green peas may be planted Just as soon as the ground penults. They nre hardy and thrive best when planted early in tbe season. Clover rootlets will penetrate and loosen the subsoil, while they nre fur­ nishing a targe quantity of valuable material for forage aud for fertilizer. If it is desired to subsoil a field at the least possible expense, get it to pro­ ducing a good crop of clover.

These nfortgngex represent but .'u .50 per ceuf. of the value of the property, and the'average rate of interest paid upon them is 6.05 per cent, per annum. The average value of the in­ cumbered farms or homes la $3352, the average amount of the mortgage is 51.­ 257, and the average interest charge is $73.59. It is shown also that tbe greater portion of the mortgages represent de­ ferred payments of purchase money. The remainder represents permanent improvernents. farm machinery, stock nnd other investments that add to the value of the property. Very few mortgages are the re­ sult of misfortune or Improvidence. In the new States of the XX’est nre found the larg<-st percentage of people who own the farms or homes they occupy, ami the smallest number are found in the South. In Illinois the average of ownership is nearly 2 per cent, above tho average for the entire country—via.. 49.00 per cent of tbe population own and. 5034 per cent, rent. In Indinua the condition of the peo­ ple is somewhat better, the pereenjage of ownership being 57.52. In Wisconsin it is still better, where tbe percentage of ownership is 6835; la Michigan. 03.12: in Iowa. 63.18, aud in Minnesota, 64. IM. Tho highest percentages of ownership are found in Oklahoma. 86.89; North Da­ kota, 78.16: South Dakota. tu.2S, and Idaho, 71.70. The lowest percentages of ownership arc found in Louisiana, 29.56; Alabama, .34.6-1; Delaware. 37.98; Georgia. 31.43: Rhode Island, 29.62, and South Carolina, 28.77.. Many Farms in Ohio.

With­ out including Oklahoma, where the con- | dittons were scarcely settled enough when the census was taken to make a fair com- J parison, Maine stands first as n tree-farm State.

In fact, the difference is so great ns to be phenomenal. As has been stated above, 27.97 per cent, of the farms and homes in the United States are mort­ gaged. TbatTs the.average for the whole country, but in Georgia the percentage is only 3.18, in Tennessee 3.87, in Florida 3.63. in Alabama 3.08, iu Louisiana 3.94, and in tbe other Southern States it is pro­ portionately small. The highest percent? age of mortgages is found iu South Da­ kota. where only fifty-one out of every one hundred people own their farms or house* without incumbrance. Kansas and Nebraska come very close to the maximum, and. strange to say. North Da­ kota and New Jersey have almost the ■ same percentage, the former showing 45.42 per cent, of incumbered farms amt homes and the latter 45.84. In Illinois 32.68 per cent of the farms and homes carry mortgages, in Indiana 29.72, in Iowa 42.40, in Michigan 40.99, in Minnesota 42.47 and in Wisconsin 37.96. It is nn interesting fact that Utah has the small­ est percentage of mortgaged farms and homes of auy Northern State, 92.67 per cent, of the owners there bring absolutely without incumbrance. In Washington, also, the proportion is very small com­ part'd with other now States, the percent­ age of mortgages being 23.45—less than in Massachusetts, Jiew York. Pennsyl­ vania.

In Mississippi the fanners suffer more from the mortgage evil than in any other State, and only 37 per cent, of their homes arc free.

In Indiana the farm­ ers nre in a little better condition, the percentage being 33-10, aud in Ohio they are a little better still, tho percentage being 28.90. It is shown, however, that ,7631 per cent, of the mortgages upon farms in the United States represent de­ ferred payments of purchase money, and 85.30 per cent, purchase money and per­ manent improvements. The remainder, as has already been stated, reoresent farm machinery, stock and other articles that add to the value of the property and make its cultivation more profitable. In Illinois 74.43 per cent, of the mortgages represent deferred payment* of purchase money: In Indiana, 69.07; Iowa, 69.49; Michigan, 70.20; Nebraska, 47.02; North Dakota. 36.29; Ohio, 00.58; Oregon, 54.84; South Dakota. 25.47; xVashington, 46.51; Wisconsin, 60.30. The percentage of mortgages due to all other objects than deferred payments of purchase money, im­ provements, machinery, stock nnd other articles of permanent value is only 2.80 in the entire United States. The highest rate is found in tbe Southern States, where the planters are in the habit of se­ curing advances upon their crops, which often nre not sufficient to meet them, and then mortgage lapses .over upon the prop­ erty. In Alabama the percentage of such farms is 6.09, in Georgia 4.09, in lAtuisiann <1.12, in South Carolina 0.52, Iu Virginia 15.58. Of the mortgaged farms-and homes in the United States 19.74 per cent.’ are worth less than $1,000, 16.19 per cent, are worth bcttVeen $1,000 and $2,500, 25.25 per cent, nre worth between $2,500 ami $3,000. 13.24 |>cr cent, between $5,000 and $10,1JOO. 15.40 j>er cent, arc worth $10,000 nnd over nnd 10.30 worth $25,000 nnd over.

She clasped it fondly, though she said not a jdauiin*. Besides, hard as things were, both for him and-for her, to see him thus, doing cheerfully what he did not like (through all his tender fictions she knew he could not like the mill very much), fighting with hardship*, submitting to poverty, and proudly conquering any false shame about either, taking up his dally burden and carrying it without a murmur or reproach—she felt—yea,amidst all her pain, she frit something as the mediaeval women must have done—the noble ladies who buckled on their good knights' armor and scut them forth,, to battle, to lire or die, as God willed, but never to be conquered, never ceasing to fight, like true knights, to their laat breath. But Bella could not understand this sort of thing at all. She shrugged her shoulders and raised her brows. “It’s an odd taste. Rody. but you al- all day, and come home' tired and dirty, hungry and cold, aud then say you ’like' It!—I wouldn’t be you for the world nor Silence either, shut up in this lonely place all the year round.

But that night when the household was all gone to bed. and they three sat over the fire, listening to the wind howling nnd the sleet pattering against the panes, he resumed .the subject, nud, somewhat to Silence's surprise, began very tenderly, but with unmistakable decision, to- ar­ range what his sister should do. . His arrangement it was—uot his wife's—ns he plainly said, thereby taking from her the weight of a difficult and painful thing. “I will not promise to keep you always, Belin, for I think husband aud wife are better left alone together; but we shall not turn you out. my poor girl, whatever comes." said he. laying n brotherly hand on Bella's shoulder. “The little we hnve —and you see how little it is—you shall share, till something can be nrrnnged be­ tween you nna your husband.

I am uot rich now, you know that; but you know also that, rich or poor, I should never let my sister "No, a thousand times no!” cried Si­ lence, taking her hand—for Bella, seeing this was no Joking matter, had. suddenly taken fright, and. as usual, burnt into team. “It may nnt come to that; but if It does, believe me, poverty is not as bad ns it seems. Yon shall never want for love. You will live close beside us; our home will be open to you; and tbe child— • the children" (in a timid whisper) "shall grow up together. Oh, we shall be very happy, never fear." “No, no; I should be miserable!” And she sobbed and manned, and talked of “cruelty,” "hard usage,” wished she was “dead and out of the way”—the usual bit­ ter outcries against fate of those who. having made their own fate what it is, have not the strength to bear it. Deeply grieved and not a little wounded, Roderick saf beside his slater, his wife not Interfering—who could interfere?—till her misery had a little subsided, and then said, quietly: "Now, we will speak no more to-night; but to-morrow we will consult a lawyer, and find oat tbe right and wrong of the cose, and your exact position with regsed to your husband. Will that doT “No, no." she said. “Don’t be in such a hurry. Walt till I make up my mind. It's so difficult to make up one's mind always.

Alexander Thomson Isn't the only drunkard in Scotland. If I could but put up with him a little longer!” Both Roderisrk and his wife looked ex­ ceedingly surprised. They made Uo re­ mark—they always had carefully avoided making any remarks to Bella about bos husband.

In speak­ ing of prices, a gentleman remarked a few days since: “I pay now just tbe same for a five-rib roast of beef that 1 do for a barrel of flour." HI*, statement was substantially correct, ns twenty pound* of choice beef are selling for almut tho same price as a barrel of the best family flour. The incident is only imporfknt «s nerving to point out and accentu­ ate the fact that provision* have held their prices fairly well, while many pro­ ducts of the farm, such as wheat, cotton and wool, have declined very heavily. It Is partly owing^to this condition of af­ fairs, too, that on the exports of 1894 the' United States gained $20,(XM»,000 over 1893 on cattle and provisions, aud lost $16,000,000 on breadstuff*. If we toko tbe some authority which has been accepted In previous years, the United States Agricultural Bureau, for tbe crop estimates of 1891, we find that if. .tbe three great crops of wheat, corn .and cotton could have l»ecn laid down in New York ou the 1st of January. 181*5, their aggregate value would have been $1,178,­ 250,938. against a valuation of $1,253,­ 187,710 for the crops of 1893, and $1,­ 544.749,724 for the crops of 1892. This is, of course, an arbitrary standard, but it is probable that the New York price is, upou the whole, os good a standard by which to Judge of tbe relative value of ths year’s crops as any other that can be adopted. First, as to prices: The following table, compiled from tbe reports of tbe statisti­ cal bureau of the Department of Agricul­ ture, will give a record of the average prices for various staples received on farms and plantations since 1688, compil­ ed from the rates rilling on or about Dec. 1 of the respective years: 1888. 1890. 1892. 1804.

Is the low­ est for twenty-live yearn, and in 33.9 centslower than the average for the decade 1880-89, nnd 22.1 cent* leas than the av­ erage for tbe last four years. The price'of cotton, it will be noticed, is at it* very minimum. Discarding for the moment all other elements which en­ ter into the problem—such as the total yi»-ld of the crop or the comparative coat of production, and comparing the prices for 1894 with those for 1892 (inasmuch as 1893 was also n year of unusual depres­ sion), it appears that, with the exception of corn nnd oats, prices have declined 20, 30, and even 40 per cent. That startling variations exist in vari­ ous estimates of the wheat crop of 1894 we are well aware. The United States Government's Inst estimate is 460,000,000 bushels, but. in view of the fact that this' is 36,000,000 in excess of the Govern­ ment's preliminary estimate, and that tbe United States official estimate fur last year's crop is believed to have been wide­ ly erroneous, we may discard these fig­ ures In favor of some of the trade esti­ mates, which run as follows: W. M. Grosvenor, 530,6(M).000: Liverpool Corn Trade News. 520.000.600; Cincinnati I’riee Current, 515,000,000; Statistician Th oman. 503,000,0to. Assuming tbe estimates of the Corn Trade News for 1892 nnd 1893, aud the conservative figures of Mr. Thoman for 1894, further assuming all wheat of a uniform grade, and ail sold on farms about Dec. 1 nt the prices quoted in the Government's farm price list, we have the following: Aggregate Yeari Crop (bn.) value ou farm. 18921. .580,000.000 -----------------$361,920,000 1893475,000,000 247,475,000 1894563.000,000 250,404,000 . . This would indicate that, while the ag­ gregate money yield from wheat for 1894 is approximately equal to that for 1893, the loss in money, compared 'with 1892, is over $100,000,000; or, more exactly, the loss on the 1891 crop, as compared with that of 1892, is $111,420,000. Assuming the United States official statement of the 1894 wheat crop-nnmely. $225,900,000, the loss, as reckoned on this comparative basis, would be $136,020,000. Gain in the Price of Corn. An a partial offset to thia loss there aje pears to be a gain in the item of corn, where tbe high price per bushel would seem to net nn aggregate sum In excess ot that obtained for tbe crop of 1893. The following table is made on the basis of Mr. Tboman’s estimate of tbe 1894 corn crop and tbe United States official esti­ mates for 1892 and 1893, and combines with them the Government’s farm prices-.

The excess in the total market value of Inst year's crop over that of the previous year appears, according to Mr. Thomnn's figures, ’is amount to over $80,000,000; or, compared with the yield of two years ago, to over $40,000,600. The Government's figures would turn these estimated gains into losses of $45,000,000 and $87,000,000. respectively. It is worthy of 1 etn.irk, h ,wever, that th* probable total gain on this item has been very unevenly distributed among the various agricultural sections. In tbe South the corn crop has been heavier than in 1893, and has partially off- tiomi of the West, rsjiwially Nebraska and Kansas, the earn crop hna been an nlni'*t total failure, with little eonjjx'nsattoo from other crop*.

A parti’ of people from the western part of Woodland township were down here Wednesday, to arrange an ami­ cable settlement of a hay deal. Wm. Lee and a gentlemen named Stowell each had an interest in a lot of hay. Lee sold it to Bromley, the bay dealer of Grand Ledge, and when Bromley's men came to bale it Stowell Infurmed them that he had sold it to another party. Bromley thought he ought to have damages, and all parties agreed to an amicable settlement by arbitra­ tion, so they came down here to fix It up. Mr. Lee picked on J. E. Barry. Mr. Bromley chose R. J. Wade, and these two chose G. W. Francis as the third member of the committee, which listened to all the facta in the case and decided that Rromley ought to have about ten dollars. This was sat­ isfactory, the money was paid and all Rrtles returned home well satisfied. seems to us this beats the ordinary law suit out of sight. LOTS OF TROUBLE. J. D. Bradley, a young man who hasj been working for Otto Schulze, had ai little trouble with Mr. Schulze last; week and quit his Job. He then wrote■ a letter to Schulze, In which he said1 some severe things. Friday night■, Schulze met Bradley on the street; near Putnam Bro*.’ store and proceed­■ ed to give him a beautiful drubbing., The attack was so violent and sudden! that Bradley had no opportunity to de­ fend himself, and he was knocked into> the gutter and struck and kicked re­, peatedly before bystanders could inter­. fere. Schulze was arrested the next, morning and Justice Mills fined him, the extravagant sum ot•2.00 and cost*. Schulze broke two bones in hi* right' hand during the melee, bo that taking, It all around he will probably be the1 worst sufferer of the two. OAJLLED DOWN. NOTICE TO ELECTORS. The law firm of Webster * Mills has been dissolved, Mr. Webster re­ tiring, and Mr. Mills will continue the business alone. A smart young man living south of town sold a load ot wood recently to the Baptist societj. He claimed be bad on two cords and a half, but as “his team wouldn’t stand, and he was in a hurry" he took pay for two cord* and a quarter and didn't pile IL Later it was piled up and Frank McDerby and Fred Apolemau found it measured a cord and three quarters, Wednes­ day Mr. McDerby saw tbe young man in town and gave him the alternative of paying back the difference or being arrested. Retried for two hours to hang up a bluff, but it didn't go, and before be went home he refunded the price of a half cord of wood. W. E.*Holt and his foreman, Wm. Legge, of Bellevue Gazette, have pur­ chased the defunct Sunfield Enterprise and will endeavor to breathe the breath of life into IL For Heaven’s sake. Will, haven’t you got trouble enough on your bauds now, that you go out hunting for more? Most of us have. According to a ruling made on Fri­ day last by Attorney General Maydard no general re-reglstration of voters will be necessary for the coming April election, but all persons who have not resided in this county five years can­ not vote, according to the consti­ tutional amendment adopted last fall. Not a few robins were seen here­ abouts Sunday morning.—Portland Observer. Pshaw! There have been robins around Nashville for the past three weeks, but a part of the time they have looked sadly out of place. There have been blue jays around town all winter, and several jays have been here constantly for several years. Dr. J. Ball will close his drug store in the Hale building Saturday, the 16th preparatory to moving to Lansing; where he has purchased a drug stock and will engage in business. He will take his stock from here with him and will consolidate the two. Dr. Ball has been a good citizen and we are bqfry to see him leave NashtiUe, but wish him unbounded success In pis new home. ________ ’ The “Sweet Family” entertainment, given at the opera house Wednesday evening by the young ladies of the Christian Endeavor society, was a very pleasing affair and the large audience was more than pleased. Solos by Miss Ednah Truman, and by Geo. D. Her­ rick, of Grand Rapids, were warmly encored, the drill by the little girls was a taking feature, and the rest of the program was good and admirably carried out. The society, we arc glad to say, will net a neat sum. Sheriff McKevitt took a trip to Cad­ illac last Monday evening and re­ turned the next evening haying in charge Levant Mead, of this town­ ship, charged with embezzlement The complaint is made by Newton V. Whitlock, of Morgan, who charges that some time ago he sent Mead up north with a horse to sell, and that Mead sold the horse and got the money but ha* persistently failed to make re­ turns. Mead is now occupying a se­ lect room at the county bastile and will probably be up for trial at the next term of circuit court.

The remains of upwards of fifty cities antedating the Spanish conquest have been found In Guatemala alone, and this number In a territory only two-'' thirds the slxe of Missouri probably in­ dicates a density of population similar to tlrnt of the most crowded parts of Europe to-day. The word probably is advisedly used In this connection, for aside from the statements of the.. Spanish explorers, littld or nothing is known as to the number of the nations that once Inhabited Central America. The only ancient structures whose use can jiosltlrely be stated are the huge pueblas, or communal towns, in which all tpe Inhabitants resided under a common roof and In a sort of fortress of their own construction. Best known to us from their presence In parts of New Mexico and Arizona, these curious community towns are found lu great numbers in Mexico, aud to some extent aud then returning .to their native country, to spend their blood money in the bazars of Madrid aud Barcelona nnd Cordova.

In a country where tropica! rains are succeeded by tropical sunshine, where the winter docs not deserve the name, so mild is the season, nature Is bounteous, ami nil sorts of vegetation grow with, a rapidity and luxuriance unknown else­ where. In many parts of Guatemala, when a road 'Is cut through jungle, constant labor aud watchfulness are required to prevent its obliteration by the encroaching verdure on either baud. Roads neglected for two weeks ran not be traced, so completely are they overgrown by the trees and vines. The abundance of nature In rhe fields overpowers the Industry of man. A ^farmer can cultivate only > limited area on account of the rapidity with which the native plants grow. Under the chiefs who formerly .ruled this country, the roads were kept open by gangs of laborers employed by the chieftain, and the farmers were coml>elled to keep their fields clear of weeds.

Lincoln sheep were brought to the United States In 1835 and numerous -Kubsequent importations have been made. But they have never attained great popularity In this country.

Tiie greater prevalence of droughts ns tbe country grows older Is t<artly owing to the fact that soils long culti­ vated do not bold water'as they do when full of vegetable matter.

I cannot give you a good report of damage done to the orange trees by the last freeze at this time, and pos-slbly not in my next, but it Is very -great and I am inclined to think that it is greater than has been thought by ■very many. Tbe prospects for the present year are not very bright, ac• -cording to my vision of the case, at the same time,.It is thought by many that it is alitor the best interests of the orange business, as It seems prob• able that it will rid the groves of some if not allof the pests that Infest the trees and fruits. There is some little Interest here irT good roads, and the Young Men’s Business League have - been at work on an experimental mile -of country road which they have ac­ tually putin first class shape at less -than one half the estimated cost; V Were It not for the losses by reason .of the freezes I am quite confident that this country would have been bonded t <or quite a sum of money to be used in building good permanent roads. As .'it Is, the universal question of taxes will prevent any great amount of such work In this section for a time. The • question of assessment for taxes will • be one of much vexation the coming year, for no matter what tho grove • owner may say now, as to the damage • -done to his trees, be may t»e relied up­ on to set up that claim when the ■assessor comes around, and with the ■depreciation of orange grove propert y it seems to me that the property will lie affected in a similar way. and pos­ sibly be what some claim a good time to buy, especially to those who can . put up the ready cash.

By order of committee. 0. L. Bowen, Chai r ma n. The U. S. Gov’t Reports abow Royal Baklog Powticr Some four years ago I spent four days In Canton, the metropolis ot southern China, on a special mission to Investigate Chinese Justice, and the resuIls surpassed my moat ghastly an­ ticipation. What I witnessed was nothing un­ usual, and is the dally practice ot the country, but 1 am compelled to tone down the details to make them pre­ sentable for publication. Nothing but the strongest spirit of Inquiry, supported by an Iron resolution, carried me through the horrors of those days, aud for weeks afterward I suffer­ ed from perpetual nightmare. Tbe place of execution, or “Mateu," as it Is called by tbe Chinese, Isa filthy yard, long and narrow, like a blind alley, and, singularly enough, it Is used as a potter's field when not re­ quired for execution. On a cold January afternoon I pro­ ceeded thither to witness tbe final release uf a batch of poor wretches who had already undergone a prolong­ ed course of torture. On this occasion the death-squad consists of thirteen, who are tightly bound band and foot and carried in, huddled up In baskets slung on a bamltoo between two coolies. On arriving at the-centre of the ground these living loads are pitched out un­ ceremoniously, and Immediately seized by tbe executioner aud his assistants, wb-> arrange them in two lines In a kneeling position. At a nod from the presiding man­ darin, and with Incredible swiftness, the butchery commences. Tbe as­ sistant seizes the first victim by the shoulders from behind, while tbe ex­ ecutioner steps up te his left side, armed with anenormously heavy short sword with a broad blade and razorlike edge. Without any compulsion, tbe victim, still kneeling, bends his head forward, and almost instantaneously it leaps'from his body, severed by one swift stroke. Tbe assistant pushes the trunk over forward, and a shrill burst of approving “Hl-yahs” goes up from the crowd. After the uncertain and clumsy operations of the medival beadsman, one had been led te suppose that a human head required a great deal of severance; but so adept are the Chinese executioners that they appear te dis­ play no more effort or emotion In cut­ ting off a head than they would In lopping a poppy from its stalk. With fearful rapidity the slaughter proceeds, and not five seconds elapse between tho fall of each head. One unerring stroke ends each life, and the victims arc so arranged that each can witness the fate of all those In front of him .before his turn comes. The crowd is now in the most Jovial humor, and signifies its light-hearted enjoyment by ribald chaff at the ex­ pense of the remaining victims, who frequently retort defiantly, and exhibit tbe most stolid indifference te their fate. Suddenly a burstof merriment arises In one corner. A portly merchant has approached too near, and his long white coat is splashed with blood. How the bystanders laugh! Was there ever such a good joke! The last few heads are falling now, when my hand Is plucked by an ex­ cited youngster of ten, dancing with delight, who cries, eagerly, “Iio-tal?" (Isn't it beautiful?) 1 repress a fierce desire to throttle him, and in a few seconds all is over. Justice is vindi­ cated, and the crowd quickly disperses, all but tbe city gamins, who remain behind to rehearse the whole proceed­ ings and to skylark with the bodies. Horrible though the sight has been, death has, at any rate, been swift anil merciful, but another day the supreme horror of the Chinese Justice is reveal­ ed to us. For certain offenders, notable parri­ cides and women who kill their hus­ bands, the penalty is the “Llng-chee,” or “thousand cuts.” This Is looghastly for detailed description, but suffice it to say that the victim is first cruci­ fied to a low cross, and then slowly sliced to pieces with .1 knife. So skillful is the executioner that although his victim soon liecomes al­ most unrecoganizabl<' as a human being, yet no vital wound is Inflicted till perhaps half an hour of this torture has elapsed, when the agony is ended by decapitation. So superior an entertainment as this h naturally rewarded by a full bouse, and even greater merriment Srevails than at mere head-chopping isplays, which savor somewhat of i monntenv to the blase Cantonese. —Harper’s Weekly. Many compliments have already been paid to the genial novelist and man of letters wbo has made his grave in tbe far-distent Island of the Pacific tn which be made his home. The most original, and perhaps the one which Ruiwrt Louis Stever-"n would have prized the most of all. comes In 8 curious form and from a singular source.' The pro-colonial press of Berlin has lately i*en much In evi­ dence, and. in the‘English novelist's death It Imagines that Get many has found her opportunity. The Kaiser Is appealed to that the opportunity may not be lost of taking possesaiou of Samoa now vacated by the late novelist. The Reichstag is exhorted to show a proper sense of the national interests, ana to do Ite share in the work of rescuing Samoa from tbe bale­ ful shadow English Influence. If, as the Berlin press says, Steven­ son was the great obstacle In tbe way of an undivided German -control In Samoa he was so merely because he represented on the spot the freedom of appeal to the fair play of two great nations uf Anglo-Saxon race. In Samoa he was regarded by the natives as their friend and champion, and he was powerful because he could make his championship felt. He had the command of that publicity which at all times and in all lands has always been tho enemy of oppression. It is true that the late novelist was not In love with German officials, or German methods In tbe Samoan group of Islands, but In this he only echoed the feelings of tbe natlye Inhabitants. But for that fact his wishes and feel­ ings would have disturbed the Berlin firese and the colonizing party in BerIn not at all. As it is, and -is, the Protectorate which this party so fondly desires to establish In Samoa Is both feared and detested by the na­ tives.—Harper’s Weekly.

The day was a beautiful one and* there should ba?, ~ —tz out, but it fell far short of prior years, their being but 279 votes cast, against 318 for 1894. • There were but two tickets In the field, Republican and Citizens. The Republicans had 108 straights and 82 splits, while the Citizens bad 39 straightsand 39 splits. Two ballots were thrown out entirely, one uf them haying no marks on at all, while the other bad a cross marked under the head of each ticket.

The new method of voting seems to be a poser to many. Either they do not read the instructions or do not understand them. It might be a good plan before the township election to have a school of instruction for the benefit of the voters. The new council is composed of flye liepublicans and one Democrat, and the president is a Republican. John Marshall is the only Democrat. He will have rather a lonesome time, but the rest of the boys won't have any reason to wake him up. They will know he is there. Under the old charter, a marshal and a street commissioner were elected. Under the present charter they are to be appointed on the second Monday in April, by the president of the village, with the consent of Lbe council, and may be removed by the same authority It their work Is not sat­ isfactory. Two voters were challenged Monday for not being- registered, and were not allowed to vote. Many others voted who were-Miot registered, but their votes were In before the fact was dis­ covered. Several of them are men who have lived In the town for years and have voted regularly at every vil­ lage election, without ever being reg­ istered.

Secretary Gresham is nbdut to instruct Ambassador Bayard to urge ujm>u Great Britain nn adjustment uf the long pending trouble between Venezuela and Briti*h Guiana, nnd to suggest arbitration of the question. This action is in pursuance to a recent resolution of Congress. The result of Mr. Bayard's np|M-a) is being watched with much interest, owing to the rcjiorts from Venezuela that the trouble has reached a critical stage, nnd thnt both sides are massing troops iu the disputed territory lying between them. Mr. Bay­ ard is well equipped for this negotiation, as he was Secretary of State iu 18S7. when the United States first made an of­ fer to Great Britain to act as arbitrator. The offer was courteously declined- At the same time Venezuela broke off all diplomatic relations with Great Britain, nnd these have not since been restored. Mr. Blaine also sought to adjust tin* trou­ ble. as it was felt that British aggression on South American soil came dangerously near an invasion of the Monroe* doctrine. Mr. Blaine's efforts also failed, and the status lias remained unchanged until the recent reports of hostilities, nnd the detenninativn of this Government to make a final effort toward concluding negotia­ tions. In the event of Great Britain ac­ cepting the suggestion of arbitration, it is believed President Cleveland would be designated as arbitrator. C. A. DANA INDICTED. WILL DEBS BE TRIED?

First—On this issue we declare our­ selves tu be unalterably opposed to th* ■Ingle gold standard, nnd demand the im­ mediate return to the constitutional stand­ ard of gold and silver, by the restoration by this Government, independently of any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinago of both silver and gold into standard money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality; the silver coin to be a full legal tender, equal with gold, for all debts and dues, public and private. Second—We hold that the power to con­ trol and regulate a paper currency is in­ separable from the power to coin money, and that all currency Intended to clr«-ulate as money should be issued and th* volume controlled by the general Govern­ ment only and should be legal tender.

In two more years this great artificial river will be draining Chicago into the Mississiiqii and robbing Niagara of 300,OOO cubic feet oHratcr per minute, for the benefit of the Gulf of Mexico—and of those inhabitants of Chicago who drink water.

Then these are hoisted high in the air. nud the whole tower Is set re­ volving, like a swing bridge, bringing the loaded rages over the sj»oil bank, to be dumped and throwing the op|>osite derrick over the channel to receive its load. This machine works rapidly and economically. On there sections which are partly in earth and partly in rock all the usual methods of excavation are in vogue, and several that are entirely new.

The rock is thus ex­ cavated in three stopes or layers. The lop layer is removed by carts and tram rars, the traction for which is usually sup plied by steam hoisting engines. The lower lifts are taken out by the use of cableways, high power derricks, and can­ tilever conveyors. The cross section of the earth excava­ tions shows a width of 202 feet on the bothom, with the sides sloping out, so as to make an extreme width of 300 feet nt the top of the prism.

This total. President Wentcr confidently asserts, will not reach $28,000,000. Others think tberj may be unexpected difficulties that will rnisejhe cost to nearly $30,000,000. ,z Curing for the Men. One of the problems with which the contractor* have to deal is thnt of raring for the men employed on the work. ’On each section there are from 200 to 400 men employed, nnd the majority of them arc so distant from any town that pro­ vision must Im* made fur the men at ths work. For this purpose each section is provided with n camp consisting of rough frame buildings, some of them equip]M*d with buiiks fur sleeping quarters and oth­ ers with outfits for providing meals. Some idea of the exteflt of this work cun bo obtained from the fact that on one section n bakery is established- which turns out from 4(X> to 500 louvre of bread each day. Some of the contractors carry ou this de­ partment under their own supervision, but others find it much more profitable to make a contract with a commissary, who furnishes bedding and provisions at a stipulated price. • It is stated that the prices being paid for this work arc far lower than tbos® paid for any similar work ever carried on in the world, aud that this is particularly true of the rock sections. The prices paid for the n-moval of the rock mostly range from 73 cents to 83 cents per cubic yard, and it is said that the lowest previ­ ous prices od record for similar work have ranged from $1.23 to $1.50. Prices paid for glacial drift generally run from 10 cents to 27 cents per cubic yard. The pictures accompanying this article show very clearly the nature of the work now going on in Illinois, and some of the novel and cxjxmsive machinery that is third more work is accomplished in pro­ portion to the amount of money expended nnd the number of men employed than could have been twenty years ago.

I remember that somewhere over back of Sol Felghner’s place there used to be an old saw mill—-I have for­ gotten who owned it—but 1 know the first picnic I ever attended was in the woods adjacent to the mill, and I looked upon that as one of the greatest events of my life. I brought home with me a huge bouquet of wild flow­ ers, mostly whit? lilies and “adder­ tongues,” and a miscellaneous assort­ ment of musquito bites, which had to be rubbed over with soda and water before 1 could go to sleep. I take my soda mixed with something else now before 1 go to sleep, but I don't believe I wake in the morning as bright and fresh as I did in those dear old days, which are so far in the past, yet seem so near. I saw a sweet young face on the street Tuesday. It belonged to a trim little lass of about seventeen years, and I couldn’t avoid turning my head to get another look at her, fori like a pretty girl as well as ever, in spite of my gray hairs and a growing tendency to rheumatic twinges in various parts of ray anatomy. I used to have a pretty girl like that when I was a youth, and I don't suppose I shall ever forget her: and I don’t believe I ever want to. Of course she isn’t the same pretty seventeen year old girl she was at that time, but some way she don’t seem to change as much as the other girls I used to know. Perhaps the fact that I married her and that she has always been my nearest and dear­ est friend may have something to do with the fact that ber face don’t seem to grow older. only 857,000,000 feet on hand.

The Longfellow Bccomca Unmnnngcahlc, Strike- m Hall road Bridge al Cincinnati, Breaks in Two and Sinks with Her Cargo. Refused Io Obey Her Rudder. The steamer I<ongtollow. of the Meml»his and Cincinnati Packet Line, was wrecked Friday morning. by syiking a pier of the Chesapeake and Ohio Raft­ road bridge nt - Cincinnati, and twelve tires were lost. The steamer broke in two and rank with her cargo. The pas­ senger list was lost, but it is known twen.ty-firc or thirty passengers were aboard, must of whom hnd engaged passage for . New Orleans. The dead: • David Aldridge, Cleveland. • ’ Dr. Anderson, female. J. W. Anil. Dayton, Ohio. Mrs. J. W. Anil. Dayton, Ohio. Captain John I* Carter, Newport, Ky. Gns Chauvet, barkeeper on Longfellow. ----- Johnson, barber on Longfellow. James Mittcr, deck hand. Thomas Reardon, deck hand. Michael Russell, deckhand, Cincinnati. Walker, aort a nt. Unknown young woman, an invalid, of New York. The Longfellow was to leave at •’ o’clock Thursday evening^ A heavy fog came up and it was decided to wait until the fog lifted. At 6 o'clock Friday morn­ ing, the fog haring risen sufficiently, Captain John Klrker decided to start. The tow boat-Hercules Carrel, which was alongside all night, was signaled to be in readiness to help the Longfellow through the bridges. At 030 the boats started. The Carrel was on the port side of the Ixingfellow. The boats passed safely un­ der the suspension "bridge, but immediate­ ly afterward the Lougfcllow began be­ having badly. A cross • current seemed to strike her nud swing her bow around toward the Kentucky.shore. Every effort was made to right ber so that she would l«ss between the piers of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad forming the span on the Kentucky side. The swift current.of the river carried her along rapidly. Those in the l»ont could see that it would be iiufiossible to avoid striking the pier. Tho alarm was sounded immediate­ ly. and the iiasseUgcrs. some of whom were nt breakfaAt, while others were still in their berths, were hurried to the deck. The boat struck the pier with her star­ lion rd side, jtist behind the boilers. The air won filled with flying timbers, glass nnd ironwork. Those on board, tunny of whom were In their night clothes, were hurried to the Hercules Carrel, which waa still alongside. Consternation reign­ ed. There were picrciug cries uud ter­ rible yells nrrd women fainting. ’ Sink* with Iler Cargo. In the meantime, the Longfellow was lieiug driven harder against lhe pier by the swift river. In less than five minutes after she struck there was a loud crash and the boat parted n in id ships. The prow went down into the river, disapjienring completely. The stern followed. Some of the upper works floated down the stream and then the wrecked hull came slowly up and also floated away. Four or five men were on the floating cabin and these were taken off by the crew of the Hercules Carrel. A number of small liontM' put out from the shore and picked up persons who had jumped into the river. Five minutes after the boat struck there was nothing left but a lot of float­ ing wreckage to show chat there had ever l>een such a lioat as the Ixingfellow. Ev­ erything on board the boat in the way of registers, papers, valuables, cargo, etc., wont down with her. The cause bf the accident is attributed to the boat refusing to obey her rudder when she struck the strong current just below the suspension bridge. The Ixingfellow was valued at $22,560 and insured for $!5.uu0.___________________ HAYWARD IS GUILTY. The Minneapolis Gambler Responsible for the Murder of Catherine Ging. Harry Hayward, on trial at Minne­ apolis for the murder of Catherine (ling, has been found guilty. A few minutes before 11 o’clock Friday morning Judge Smith finished his charge and a little be­ fore 2 o’clock lhe jury hnd agreed on n rerdirL-—Judge Smith hastened to the court-room, the prisoner was brought in nnd the jury summoned. Koblcr, the deputy clerk, asked In a tremulous voire whether the jury hn<l agreed u[K>n.n ver­ dict, and N<4I McNeil, the foreman, stood up. His face was ghastly in its color, and then* was not a man on the jury unaffected by the gravity of flic situation. “Wo have agreed.’’ said Mc­ Neil, in a voice that was scarcely audible, nnd the folded piece of paper that meant life or death to the accused was handed to the clerk. Every eye was turned to­ ward the condemned tun as Kohler read the renlicL There waa nothing io his face to indicate that he hnd heard a word of it. He threw his head beck as the word ‘’guilty” was pronounced, bnt it waa only to adjust his collar-band. He did not change color by a single shade. Catherine “Ging, n Minneapolis dress­ maker. was murdered in a lonely spot on the north shore of Lake Calhoun, near Minneapolis, early in tho evening of Dee. S last The murdered woman had taken three mysterious rides, according to Liv­ eryman Goosmnn. Ok Nov. 27 she took the first, calling in person at Goosmau's livery stable in Grant street, nnd driving the horse herself. She brought it back at 9 o’clock, and no one was with her. Khe was gone but an hour and a half. Dec. 1 Mix* Ging ordered the same rig over the telephony and instructed the liveryman to leave the vehicle at the West Hotel. Accordingly the carriage was left at the Went Hotel nt 7:20 o’clock, and Mira Ging returned it to the stable in person at 9 o’clock. As before, no one was seen with her. On the evening of Dec. 3 she took the third and fatal ride. It was the sensation of the year in Min­ neapolis, and the discovery of the murder put the police on their mettle. Mayor EuxtiJ himself headed the to realisation, setting the whole torr* of detectives nt wort on th* case, and hr caused to be summoned to. the office of the chief of police all parties whose buxinrra or social rotation* with the murdered woman ran* I such that they might throw light on the mystery. Harry I layward. who wax in charge of the flats in which Miss Ging I had lived, was arrested on suspicion on Dec. 4, the day following the murder, nnd kept in the "swratbox” for twelve hour*. He told a plausible story and was finally released from custody. He said he had loaned the woman $9,500. taking as se­ curity two life-insurance policies of $5,000 each. He claimed that he had looped her $7,000 iu cash shortly before the murder, but this could not be foutuL At 11:20 p. m. on Dec. 5 Adry A. Hay­ word. brother of Harry, was unrated, charged with the murder, nnd on the afternoon of Dee. ft Harry was rearrestcd. A day Inter Adry made n confession In which he declared thnt his brother Harry hnd planned the crime to secure the insurance money and that the bloody deed vfasdoue byt Claus A. Blixt. engineer of the Ozark finis, where Miss Ging lived. Blixt wax arrested on Dec. 7. Harry ■Hayward and Blixt were indicted for the murder, nnd the former’s trial was begun the latter part of January. On Feb. 4 Blixt went on the stand and told the story of the crime—how it had been delib­ erately planned by Hayward nnd how he had carried it out. A SCAR SAVED HIS LIFE. A loung Man la Nearly Hanged for Another’s Crime. Walter Bryant, a young man with a *broad scar on ids forehead and another on his arm, has just been released from the.jail in St. Joseph. Mo. Few men have cony nearer to being hanged for n crime of which they were not guilty than Bryant, and he owes his escape from the gallows to a scar. A week or so ago Bry­ ant was nrrest'tl in Springfield on suspicipnurf being Thomas Harris, wanted for the murder of Johu McDowell seven years ago. It was in vain that the young man declared that he wax not Harris, who had escaped from prison while under sentence of death. Several men who knew Harris went to the jail and positively Identified Bryant ns the man who was Wanted, bnt Bryant did not lose hoi»c until Harris's father came nnd said he wax his son. Bry­ ant told the authorities that bis parents nnd brother lived nt Sauls Rosa, Cal., but there came no answer from the nddress he gave. He declared that he hnd been arrested before on lhe same charge, once at Sheridnu. Wyo.. and once nt Lit tie Rock, Ark., but lie hnd forgotten th* name of the sheriff from Atchison Coun­ ty who hnd gone after him and found thnt he was not the.right man. He remainIwred the year. However. nnd described the sheriff. William Turner, who liven in Red Widow County, Neb., wax sheriff of the county st thnt time, and he cams to St. Joseph to save the young man's life. Turner recognized the prisoner at once nnd said he wn* not the murderer of McDowell. Bryant’s statement that he has been twice arrested before this lime on account of his resemblance to the fugitive was confirmed by the ex-sheriff. When Tur­ ner came he brought with him a minute description of Harris, made while the murderer was a prisoner iu hix charge, nnd called attention to a scar on the left ankle, which could not be found on Bry­ ant. Ho said the resemblance between the two men wax perfect, with this ex­ ception. The absence of that scar on thr ankle has probably been the means of saving Bryant from being execute*! for another man's crime.

Beene of Regal Splendor. The marriage of Mis* Anna Gould, .daughter of the late Jay Gould, to Count Paul Ernest Boniface de Castalia nn was solemnized at .noon Monday, nnd the for­ tunes of one of America’s richest heiresses were linked with those of a penniless French nobleman of ancient name end proud connections. Tho wedding, which took place at the home of George Jay Gonld, New York city, will be marked with a white stone In tho chronicles of magnificent social events. The palatial dwelling of the head of the Gould family, with its spacious rooms furnished in oriental sniendor, was a fitting place for the ceremony, which could not be held tn the cathedral owing to the fact that the bride is a Protestant.

Miss Gould is a Presbyterian, and, while she con­ sented to the Catholic ritual, she defined to join thnt church.

The invitatious were accordingly limited After the benediction had been spoken Mendelssohn's Wedding March filled ths room and the bride received the good wishes of the archbishop nnd the two officiating priests, which were followed immediately by those of her sister.

TO TEACH FARMERS. in Appropriation Asked to Instruct Them in Scientific Agriculture. A bill prepared by Jonathan Periam, one of lhe best-known writers on agricul­ tural topics in the West, ha* been Intro­ duced In the Illinois State Senate by Senator Aspinwall appropriating $6,000 for farmers' institute*. The bill author­ izes the trustees' of the Univerrity of Illinois to hold institutes for the instruc­ tion of the citizens of the State in tbe various branches of agriculture. So far as practicable one such institute shall be held in each county. The course of in­ struction is to be so arranged as to present to those in attendance the most recent investigations iu scientific ant> practica* agriculture. Mr. Periam says of the bill that th* only unsatisfactory thing in it is that it does not make a targe enough appropria­ tion. It should be twice as large. New York appropriates $15,000; Wisconsin, $12,000; Missouri, $8,000; Minnesota. $10,000, and Indfcna, $5,000. There is another bill before the Legislature ap­ propriating $100 to each county bolding nn institute. If each county in the State holds an institute it would require $10,400 to juiy the bill, but when Institutes are hold Independently none realize tbe ad­ vantage except those in attendance.

SPIRIT LAKE MASSACRE. A Monument Erected on the Beene of the Bloody Tragedy. | Ono of the most tragic incidents In th* history of the West and certainly th* most interesting event in tho history qj the State of Iowa, wn* the massacre at Spirit Lake, which occurred nearly for­ ty year* ago aud in which forty-two ;>ersons were murdered. The massacre took place in 1857, at a time when the Sioux were very powerful In Iowa. The gold was then at its mid thouof people were westward. AN IOWA BANK! DARING DEED OF DESPERADOES AT ADEL. Cashier Leech and Down—Robber* 615,000—One Is Captured nnd the Citizen Bailey Shot Make Way. with Killed, the Other Money Recovered. Citizen* Turn Out in Pursuit. The boldest bank rubbery ever commit-, ted in Iowa—one with tbe speediest and direst ' rysults- took place Wednesday morning at the little town of Adel, twenty miles west of De* Moines. Only two men were concerned in it, bpt they mortally ' wounded the cashier, seriuusly wounded a depositor, made off with $15,000. were punned and overtaken, and one of the outlaws was killed, the other wounded, and tbe booty recovered. The crime was committed ten minutes after the bank, the Adel State Bank, wa* opened—at 9 o’clock. • Cashier S. M. Leach had just unlocked the vault to get currency to cash a check for a depositor named Bailey. Both I>*ach and Bailey had their backs to the door when two masked men entered, and without speak­ ing a word, opened tire simultaneously on the cashier and the customer. Ix-a<-b felt mortally wounded, and Bailey, seriously but not fatally hurt, staggered out of the door and gave the alarm. Before assist­ ance could come the robbers had sprung over the bank counter, stepped over the prostrate form of the cashier, bagged all the cash in sight, estimated at $15,000, and ran out of the building-to a horse and buggy standing conveniently near. They lashed the horse into a run, and before the townsmen were well aware of what had happened or had planned an attempt nt capture tbe desperadoes were out of sight* to the westward ou their way to­ ward Redfield. The people of Adel Were not slow in forming plans. A large iwsse, on horse­ back nnd in wagons, and armed with rifles, shotguns uud revolvers, was soon on the trail, nud couriers were sent out in all directions to call upon the farmers to join-in the man hunt. The main |>osso continued on toward Redfield, but before De Soto was reached the advance guard, the men ou horseback, caught sight of their prey, and the robbers saw that they were being hotly pursued. The vigilantes, for such they were, they having agreed to lynch the robber* if «-augfat, made such rapid gain* ou the fugitives thnt the lat­ ter left their horse and buggy by the road­ side and sought refuge in an old barn dose by. There they lay tHl the ]>osse ar­ rived. The hunted men refused tu sprrender and the vigilantes opened fire, one of the robbers being killed nt the first volley. The other suircndered when threats were made to set fire to the barn, and delivered himself and the stolen funds Into the hands of his captors. The vigi­ lantes.1' with their capture, returned to Add, nnd the deud robber's body wn* taken there nlso. BLOOMERS ON THE ICE. A New York Skating Girl Astonished the Central Park Boy*. The girl with bloomers-ha* made her appearance ou.the ice. She looked pretty when she began cutting figures on the Central Park lake, snys a New York paper. She was young and good looking. Her costume was of dark blue serge. The blouse waist wn* tidied in by n knotted sash of the same material, the skirt reach­ ing to lhe swell of the rather full—one sprang up the line of emliu ixdut of natural situ­ ation being Spirit Lake, not far from tho regular trr.'l of the overland trains. In 1857 the settlement numbered fifty per­ sons, whoz lived happily and contented. One night the Sioux Indian* swept down upon the peaceful home* of the inhabit­ ant* and, taking them by surprise, mur­ dered forty-two of them. At thq time of the massacre four of them were ab­ sent. The remaining four were carried into captivity, where, after four month*, they were ransomed by the Government of Iowa. Of the survivor* of this mur­ derous attack but two are now living. Some time since it wc* decided to com­ memorate this tragic chapter in Iowa’s history by a monument and the Stat* made an appropriation for the purpose. The imposing shaft, a picture of which appears in connection with this article, is now almost completed aud will probably be unveiled this spring.

In view of the fact that the eggs, which are usually deposited on the orange leaf ar<: now all destroyed by reason of the freeze, they claim that If these leaves on the above-mentioned trees and plants are destroyed before, lhe eggs hatch It is possible to rid the country of this pest, also to nearly If not quite exterminate another pest known as the red scale. One can very readily see that this is all very well and good for the orange grower-, and incident­ ally the prosperty oflhecity,providing the orange industry is to be in the future as in the. pest, its main reli­ ance; yet for all of that there are those who do not take kindly to tbe Idea of destroying even for a short time the beautiful shrubs and trees In their yards that withstood the assaults of jack fn>st, and are loud In their de­ nunciations of such laws; one man go­ ing so far as to say that be would not live under such laws. It really does seem a pity, especially when It takes about all the gteen leaves left after the last freeze. I have cheerfully com­ plied with the rule and have duly cast off the offending leaves, believing It all hi tbe line of protection and reclfiroclty, which are the principles I beleve are the best for America and its people.

' tfnee October, culminating in Tuesday's BIG FLURRY IN WHEAT. affair. Appeal* hare been made to the police, to the Mayor, to the Governor, to the United States and finally to the Brit­ ish ambnHsador at Washington, the Brit­ ish ship agents appealing through him to the home Government for protection, as •a British vessel nt the wharf was fired on by the mob nnd the purser of the steamer Engineer of the Harrison line fatally wounded. The captain barely escaped with his life. The white screwmen engaged in loading vessels with cotton at that port have been attemptiug for four months past to drive negro labor from the levees. Several seri­ ous riots have already occurred frtm this cause, but these uot succeeding in getting rid of the negroes, the white laborers de­ termined upon a display that would show their strength, overawe the authorities, overwhelm the police and cause panic among the negroes. There is no reason to doubt the charge of the police that Tues­ day’s rioting was prearranged in every detail in order to strike terror to those who opposed the demands of the white laborers. It whs well understood that there would Im? a serious disturbance. The Mayor and authorities were warned, but no provision was made to meet the mob. which hnd the field to itself, killed the negroes or ran them off the levee, overawed the ]>ollee and hold complete control. The white lerewmen made no attempt at concealment. They marched in three companies of from 250 to 500 each along the entire city front, attack­ ing the negroes at three points and firing indiscriminately at all persons whom they saw at work on the ships or the ■The first of these mobs, which consisted •f two parties, each 300 strong, appeared at about 7 o'clock in the morning nt the French market, near which the British steamer Engineer of the Harrison line was loading. The men were mainly arm­ ed with Winchester rifles, shotguns and pistols, but some carried the loug pikes famous in the French revolution. They marched in semi-military order, quietly and with few words, and the morning being very foggy, they were not neon un­ til they tik-d into the French market. Here some of them stationed themselves behind the massive pillars of tho market, while others scattered among tho freight with which the levee was covered. Fired Upon the Negroes. Just as the negro overseer called upon his men to go to work ..some one in the mob shouted: "Fire." There was a single shot, followed by a general fusillade. A panic prevailed in the market, where hun­ dreds of women were marketing, and the crowd scattered in every direction, rush­ ing for places of safety. The negroes aboard the steamer, at whom the princi­ pal fire was directed, scattered, some of them jumping overboard in their fright, but most of them seeking refuge in the cabin. The mob began firing not only at the negroes at work on the Engineer, but at any they could see passing and. becoming frenzied, fired at nil, white and Mack alike. Un board the Engineer the purser, John Baur, was shot three times in the face and arm and fatally wounded. Three or four of the laborers-were aeriously, if not fatally, wounded. The crowd nu thr wharf fared worse, however. The negroes and others who happened to bo Ing began and every one of those killed ar wounded was shot while in flight. Government Report Causes a Stir on the Chicago Board of Trade. The bulls had a great time on the Chi­ cago. Board of .Trade Tucs<!ay. May wheat junu»ed up'nearly 3 cents from the opening price, nnd dissatisfaction and un­ certainty marked the operations tn the wheat pit throughout the day. The-bulls seemed to have tho best of it most of the time, but the bears would not respond to the challenges and the market closed nt 5I>>4» a fall of 1 cent from the highest notch reached during the day. The flurry was caused by the Government. report which reached the Board of Trade after closing hour Monday afternoon. The re­ port was to the effect that the" entire quantity of wheat in the farmers' hands amounted to only -5,000,000 bushels. It hud been supposed by tho brokers that the quantity on tho forms reached at least 138.000.000 bushels. When it was learn «*d that tho estimate was far above the actual quantity of wheat in the farmers’ hands, the faces of the beam became gloomy aud the bulb bellowed with joy. On the New York Board the excitement wna intense. Very few traders hnd been expecting less than 125,000,000 bushels farmers’ reserves, nnd the statement therefore came like n thunderbolt. Trans­ actions up to noon were over 5,000,000 bushels, a larger total than is reached in many entire days.

THE ALL1ANCA, THE COLUMBIAN T AYLOR ARRESTED IN M EX ICO. Man Who Robbed South Dakota of Haifa Million Said to He Caught. Advices announce the arrest of W. W. Taylor, the cx-Statc Treasurer of South Dakota, who absconded with thousand* of dollars. Details of the arrest nre mea­ ger. Detectives employed by the State of South Dakota have been pursuing Taylor, their last trace of him being gain­ ed at Memphis, where, for some reason not yet explained, the chief of police. af­ ter having Taylor in custody, released him before officers could arrive with extradi­ tion papers. Ilia capture was effected Inst Sunday iu Mexico by Pinkerton ngcuts. Taylor, under the name of Mason, and a compan­ ion, calling himself Phelps, went to Ha­ vana several weeks ago, and the chief of police of that city was paid $2.<*»0 to locate Taylor, which he did on a steamer bound for Vera Cruz, Mexico. . This in­ formation was wired to the detectives and they arranged to intercept the lioat when it reached Mexican soil. AH the neces­ sary arrangements were made meanwhile, nnd when Taylor stepped ashore he was •promptly plac ed under arrest. \\ alter W. Taylor was State Treasurer of South Dakota nnd resided at Pierre. Jan. 8, 18D4, he disappeared, and it was discovered that his accounts were $350,­ 000 short Lie was traced to Chicago, where it was learned that be had deal­ ings with his attorney, D. K. Tenney. Jan. 10 the Senate nnd House of South Dakota passed an appropriation of $2,000 to be offered ns a reward for the arrest of the absconder. This sum was increased by the bondsmen of Taylor, who made goodffits losses to the State. FIVE MEN LYNCHED. ' - Italians Who Killed a Colorado Deputy Sheriff Riddle! with Ballets. A few days ago Deputy Sheriff Hixon was brutally murdered nt Walsenburg, Colo., by several Italian coal miners. After pounding the deputy’s head into n pulp the body was hidden and was not found until Tuesday morning, when a general alarm was given and bloodhounds put upon the murderers’ trail. In a short time the well-tratn<-d dogs succeeded in running down four men. who acknowledged haring committed the crime, nnd each endeavored to lay It on the other. Ijitc in the afternoon an in­ quest was held, at which the guiit of thr four Italians was plainly proved. Hixon being n very popular man, the feeling among other miners nnd citizens In gen­ eral grew to fever heat, nnd at the close of the coroner’s inquest, ns the prisoners wore being marched to jail, a mob made a rush for them, and before the sheriff and his deputies could raise a hand to protect them the bodies of the four Ital­ ians nnd another man were riddled with bullets. At this juncture a general riot started. One hundred or more Italians, wring their countrymen lying ardtnd dead, be­ came frenzied, swearing they would hare vengeance before morning. Both factions ”lwgnn arming themselves and at last ac- Walsenburg abandoned his t»o*t, leaving land valued at irom $10,000^00 acene trouble. Government to apologize and to promptly instruct its naval commanders not to in­ terfere with ships flying the American flag. The friendly relations between this country and Spain have to Ik- considered when war talk begins, but there is no doubt that in any other circumstances the tone of the message would be provo­ cative of a conflict. The message in Tull is as follows: •This department is Informed that on the 8th inst. the United States mail steam­ ship Allianea. on her homeward voyage from Colon to New York, when six miles from the coast of Cuba, off Cape Mays!, was repeatedly fired upon by a Spanish gunboat, with solid shot, which, fortu­ nately, fell short. , “Tho windward passage when- thia oc­ curred is the natural and usual highway for vessels plying between ports of the United States and tho Caribbean sen. Through it several regular lines of Ameri­ can mail and commercial steamers pass weekly within sight of Cape MaysL They are well known and their voyage em­ braces no Cuban port of call. Forcible interference with them cannot Im? claimed as a belligerent act, whether they pass within three miles of the Cuban coast or not, and can under no circumstance* be tolerated, when no state of war exists. •This Government will ext>ect prompt disavowal of the unauthorized act and due expression of regret on the part of Spain, and it must insist that immediate and positive orders be given to Spanish naval commanders not to Interfere with legitimate American commerce passing through that channel, and prohibiting nil nets wantonly imperiling life and property lawfully under the flag of the United States. “You will communicate this to the min­ ister of foreign affairs and urge the im­ portance of prompt and satisfactory re­ sponse." One of the precedents which have been unearthed and brought to the attention of Acuug o« Acting sH*creinry Secretary Uhl vm as uavmg having a \lirecl bearing upon 'the AJliauca incident was found in the proceedings of the Ala­ bama claims commission. In one of the decisions announced by Judge French the court held there was no authority for the stoppage or detent Ion of a mail steam­ er which is pursuing her usual route, even if that* route lay at places within the three-mile shore limit and so within the marine jurisdiction of the power seeking "to stop the ship. If this ta hch! to bo sound doeuine, then, of coarse, the Span­ ish Government will make reparation for the action of its cruiser, even should It appear that the Allianea was within three miles of Cape Mais, as the Spanish min­ ister in Washington believe*. On the other hand, if this decision Is not in effect then what is known ns the bead­ land theory of jurisdiction will probably play an important part in the adjustment of the matter. According to the conten­ tion of Great Britain in the Fortune Bay fisheries eaae, in which the United States Ims acquiesced, the line of marine juris­ diction is drawn three miles from a line running across from headland to headland in the case of n bay or a depression in the general coast line. The Spanish authori­ ties evidently take tho position nt this time, in the absence of exact advices, that the Allianea was within such a line and so within their jurisdiction, although the ship may have been actually more than three miles from the nearest sbu<¥. Crop Conditloua. Reports have been received from the Farmers' Review correspondents in Illi­ nois, Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wis­ consin. Minnesota and the Dakotas on the condition of winter wheat and rye: through thr winter iu exrollent condition, the rccrat heavy blanket snow* having proved a perfect protection against advrrse atmospheric condition*. Very little freezing out is reported. The plant is small in some localities, but this will prove of no great moment if the crop be not subjected to hard experiences in the way of thawing and freezing. Wheat on clover sod seems doing- very well. Rye has born quite extensively sown, and is doing finely. In Indiana the conditions are the same as in Illinois quite largely. Little injury is reported from freezing. The snow saved it, nnd prospects nre now good, though the plant is in some coati tie* thin on the ground and small. Rye has been very extensively sown, but is iu average condition. In Ohio the crop is everywhere fair to good, though reported uneven in some counties. Rye hi doing well and has been quite extensively sown. • Michigan reports conditions good, ad far as known, but snow'st ill covers much of the crop. The greatest danger nt present comes from Ice blankets formed by melt­ ing drifts. Rye is good. The crop in Missouri is not nil that could be desired. A good many cduufies'report it only fair or poor, from varying condi­ tions. Too dry weather Inst fall was one ofthe principal causes of the present con­ dition. The snow has done much to im­ prove it. Enough counties rrjiort the con­ dition ns good to bring the whole State up to an average of fair. Rye. when* planted, is generally good. Kansas, ns usual, reports greatly vnry- LINE MAIL STEAMSHIP FIRED ing conditions. Some localities report out­ look as unusually good, while others re­ port the crop ns badly blown out on sandy laud or much damaged, but lat<sown is better. Where rain has fallen recently there is a marked improvement. Rye has been sown in quite a number of counties, nnd is generally good. Nebraska reports nre quite good, al­ though in some sandy localities the crop has been hurt by high winds blowing it out. Too dry is rejxjrtod in some rases, but a great ninny counties hove excellent prospects for a crop. Rye is, on an av­ erage. better than wheat. In Kentucky conditions are very favor­ able. most correspondents re|x>rting a high condition. In a few cases where the crop is now poor it is improving rap­ idly. The spow of the past two months has proved of immense advantage, giving protection from the cold and moisture for spring development. Rye is generally doing well. As usual, a great many counties in Iowa hove sown no winter wheat. In the other counties there appears a great vari­ ation in condition. While a good many correspondents report the crop in fine shape, some any that in their counties the outlook is bad. One says: "Half crop; loo dry." Rye Is fair. Wisconsin prospects are not good at present. The snow wn* Hot so much of a protection ns in some, other States, and much of the ground hns been Imre for some time. This hns permitted thawing nnd freezing to an alarming extent. It dot** not appear to be possible for the crop to escape without a serious disaster, except in localities where snow has re­ mained on the fields till very recently. Rye Is not very fair in condition, but likely to feel the adverse conditions less. In Minnesota nnd the Dnkotas little has been grown any year, nnd the conditions will not greatly affect the crop of the country. The conditions are doubtful, both ns to wheat and rye where the latter hns been sown. It should be borne in mind in reading the above summary that the States that grow the largest amount of winter wheat report the conditions good, and that the adverse conditions are quite generally re­ ported from States that grow compara­ tively small quantities. From this it will be seen that the general average o^these twelve States is good, and that a large winter wheat crop may be looked for.

At last the long-expected canal that is to connect Pittsburg with the great lakes is about to become a reality and Pitts­ burg’s most cherished dream and ambition will be u material instead of a visionary project. Plans for two different routes have been prepared; either of which would be feasible. One is from the mouth of the Beaver river, via the Shenango, to Conneaut Harbor, O.» the other through the Mahoning valley, via Warren, to Ashtabula. O. The length of the canal 'by either route would Ik- cbout 130 miles. On the former route there would have to be fifty lock* nnd on the other oue-third OUO.OOO to $30,000,000. UPON BY A SPANISH GUNBOAT. The canal will be an important factor in the commercial and industrial develop­ ment of the country it traverses. Coal, which, with iron, is found in all that dis­ trict. is shipped to all parts of tile coun­ try, so that any and every saving in the freight will benefit the entire United States. About 4,500,000 tons of it are ahipjied annually by vessels from .Pitts­ burg to the lower Ohio and Mississippi river ports. It will enable the iron indus­ tries along the line of the canal to send products to shipping |mrts at about 37U. per cent, of what it costs at present. The canal will provide the national Govern­ ment with an easy way to defend the lakes in case of war. It will, by building up the waste places, increase the reve­ nues of the States it traverses or affects. From n Pittsburg |»oint of view, the .canal will boom the city as it has never been boomed before. Pittsburg commcr'ce witlrthe great lakes in iron ore, lumber, cte., amounts to about 7,000,000 tons per year. Along the route of the canal there nre fifty-seven furnaces, producing onefourth of all the iron produced in this country. The News Count Cnstellnne's younger brother is in New York looking for bids.

Solons In a Riot. The Legislature adjourned in a wild riot Monday night, Iu, which almost every member participated. Revolvers were drawn and many persons were seriously injured, Adams of Park County perhaps fatally. For fully, twenty minutes' th® State House was filled with a howling, , surging mob. Men who had been friends and sat side by side during the session be­ came deadly enemies nnd made every ef­ fort to injtfre each other. Myron King. Governor Matthews' private secretary, was locked Id thJ elevator, and a big. burly man guarded the door and refused to allow him to leave. The police finally drove the man away nnd-the secretary was released. When he arrived at the door of tho House at 11:15 he found it locked. He had an important message from the Gov­ ernor, and a great deal depended upon its delivery to the si*aker of the House be­ fore 12 o’clork. He pounded ou the door, but was denied admission. He cried that the door was locked and requested that it be opened, ns he had a message from tho Governor. Mis voice was heard by a num­ ber of Democrats who were in the corri­ dors, and they ran to-hin assistance. An attempt wna made to force oj>en th® duors. hut tho crowd qt Republicans who were keeping the Governor’s secretary and his message out resisted with all the force they coul^j command. The door* were unable to stand the pressure brought to’bear upon them, and they were finally forced open. King, who.was in front, was forced right into the crowd of Repub­ licans, who were bent on keeping him from reaching the speaker's desk. With one accord the men began striking nt each other and the secretary was in great dan­ ger of being killed. . Wanted to Kill the Secretary. “Kill him!” “Kill him!” cried a hun­ dred voices. The women who were in the galleries yelled and one or two faint­ ed. All was confusion, nnd friends and enemies alike were fighting. The sole nim of the Democrats was to get King through the crowd to the speaker’s desk with the Governor's veto, nnd the Repub­ licans were determined to hold him back until 12 o'clock, at which time the House would adjourn sine die. Inch by inch the Democrats gained ground. Many |H*rsons were knocked down and trampled under foot. Revolvers were flourished in the air, but as fast as one was drawn the man holding it was knocked down. The h«a«'7 chairs were torn from the floor by tiie mob, and the desks were broken to pieces. Doors leading to other rooms were shattered by persons in the corri­ dors trying to effect an entrance to the chamber. The police were powerless to check the mob, which seemed bent on de­ stroying everything in the room. At 11:57 the excitement was intense. Men were fighting in every part of the room, aud several of them were bleeding from numerous wounds. The Democrats were gradually forcing King toward tho speaker’s desk, and the Republicans were grooving weaker on account of many of their number being injured. A few sec­ onds later King, with his clothing torn from his body, and his face bleeding^ was pushed by main strength through the crowd and thrown heavily^ against the speaker’s desk. He stfll held the Gov­ ernor’s veto in his hand, but it never reached the speaker. Just as King was nlxjut to place it in his hands Speaker Adams kicked nnd beat back the crowd, and in a voice that could be heard above the horrible din. cried: Declared the Houk Adjourned. “The House has adjourned! The House bus adjourned!” This raised a great cry from the crowd, and everybody made a rush toward the speaker. The veto was torn from King’s hands by a mau who dashed out of the crowd with it nnd made good his escape. This practically ended tho riot. Several small fignts occurred, but the police and others finally succeeded In driving the men from the chamber. No less than two dozen jx-rson* were hurt. No arrest* were made. The trouble originated over the bill to supplant Custodian Griffin, a Democrat, with a Republican. The Governor has three days in which to consider all meas­ ure*. The bill was delivered to the Gov­ ernor two nights before adjournment. It was his idea to hold it until the Ihst minute nnd then the legislature could not pas* it over hij veto, as adjournment would take place nt 12 o’clock. The Gov­ ernor’* secretary started with the bill with ten minutes' time. The Republican* attempted by force to prevent hl* reach­ ing the legislative ball with the bill iu time. Adams, who was injured, is the rep­ resentative of Park County. He was kicked in the pit of the stomach and had to be carried from the hall. Told in a Few Line*.

And that mad bird, that loud-voiced mavis, singing incessant­ ly in the sycamore tree—he covered bis ears to deaden the sound.

Thru he [mt everything in its place ngnin, inclndiug her gurdcu rimwi, which he folded np with his helpless hands as tenderly as if it hud been a living thing, aud sat down again in the same chair, with his head dropped on bis hands. Presently hr hnd tu aronse blmsolf. and s|M*ak n few common-plnce words to Sir John, who come to fetch Lady Symington home to dinner; [teople must dine, nnd the <k nr old Indy looked exhausted. She went up to Roderick nnd kissed him—hade him hope still—while there was life there was hope: but nevertheless nrgrd upon him that Inst solemn prayer, which often seems to bring back the very blessing it resigns—“Thy will be done." “I can’t say it—I can’tf he answered— the voung man to whom anguish—such nngtiish r.s thin—was Utterly unknown. Rut after she had left, promising to come ngnin tafore midnight, he fell down on his knees, and in an agony such us he had not lu-lieved any man could pass through and live, he said' if. After that he seemed to grow quieter, nnd ready to accept everything. By nnd by the Doctor came down to , him for n minute, with an anxious face but a cheery voice. . “Take heart, my dear fellow. As I said, uhije there's life there's hope. Do ’ not go near her. -By und by I'll fetch you, should there come-a change." “A change? For the better?" ' “Yes. Or v.hat they call a lightening before death.” Death and her! The two ideas seemed im|M>srible— irreconcilable. Shuddering, Rodinek turned away from the old man, who did not mean to ta cruel, who even put his hand kindly on the young fellow's shoulder aud ngnin bnde him “keep up.” that all was ln*ing done that could ta done; that he had seen many a worae ease; nnd so on. nnd so on. But Roderick heard it all as one in a dream, and direct­ ly afterward, hearingjhe sound of a car­ riage. nnd believing it was only Black— who always meant well, but the sight of whom would almost mudden him just then, he tailed out of the long window, and went and hid himself In the darkest depths of the glen. When he ventured back into the house the fire had died out—only a solitary can­ dle was left burning on the tabic. He ■stole upstairs aud listened nt his wife's door. Ail was quiet. There was not even the sound of the doctor’s quick, resolute voice; he must have gone away. ‘ Then all hojn* died out of Roderick's heart. Gro[*ing his way hack to the par­ lor. he sat down in his old seat, waiting in a sori of'stupefaction for the final Wow. and re[H*ating to himself over and over again a line which seemed persistent­ ly to “beat time to nothing" in his overstraiucd'brain—Othello's piteous moan. “My wife! XVhat wife? 1 bare no wife!" Berhapscven now he. too, bad no wife. Xfi the sweet days were over, her brief ha|ipine!»s was ended, her young life done. And be? Buch a loss is a common story. Many a young man hud lived though it—living long after it—perhaps won another wife, and had uuiny other children, and been very bnp[>y. u[»arently; bnt I question if nnd I think he would hardly be a true man if some little bit of his heart was not forever burled in his dead wife’s grave. The caudle burned Itself out, and the moonlight, creeping in between the un­ drawn curtain, was beginning to fill the room with a pale, ghostly light, when Roderick heard the door open, and some one eater very gently and hesitatingly. “WrU-?"'l»c said, not lifting his head, not doubting it wan the summons of doom. No answer; but the intruder came close to hits—touched him. “Who’s that?" he said, almost fiercely; “It's me, Rody; it’s your mother." “Oh. mother, mother!" For one moment her ann» were round hla neck and his head on her shoulder. "I don’t want my moiber; 1 want my wife. What of my wife? Is she alive?" “Ye*. And she will live. And 1 thought I’d ta the first to come nnd tell you. Do you hear. Rody? Bhe’s safe—quite safe. Both doctors nay so. Thank God! thank God! Oh. Body, my sod. my aonF’ . On re more she o|>ened to him those fond mother-arm* which no man can resist— no man ought to resist—and let him sob his heart out there, patting him. kissing him, treating him almost as if he had t*en a little child, and sobbing herself the while with undisguised, uncontrolla­ ble emoriou. “How did yon come, mother? Since •No; I went straight up to her. It did coming- But there is not the least occa­ sion for you to stay.” He rose up, with his cold, proud man­ ner, so like his father's. * His mother, holt frightened, as If she thought ho hardly knew what be was about—perhaps he did not, poor follow !-«tood before him silently wringing her hands. “I rei>eat there I* no need for you to trouble yourself about us Iu any way. It my wife lives, nnd you say she will live, she and 1 are quite sufficient to one another Will you alt down? Con I get you anything? Or shall I order a carriage, that you may go home at once?” “Oh. Itody, Rody! Me-your mother!" She burst into tears, such tears as it is terrible to see an old woman shed. And Mys. Jardine was an old woman now. The. struggle between her heart— and It was a good honest heart, after oh—and her fierce indomitable will hod told upon her severely. Could her son have seen her face he might have traced there the wrinkles of many added yeors. As it was, lie felt that the baud which grasped him shook os with palsy. “Rody. I whh you to say one word." Could a »->n expect bis mother to beg his pardon? Would he not have been an unworthy son to have let her do any such thing? Was it Dot far better fur him. under any circumstances—to have done just what he did? He- dropped on his knees beside her. and laid bis head in her lap, exactly as when he was her little boy. “Mother, mother, forgive me! forgive one anothcriK “Oh, yei, yes! Come back to me, my son. my only son!" There was no other apology or explana­ tion than this, neither now or at any fu­ ture time between them. Both avoided it, and ho l»est. It is always safer not to touch a hnlf-heakri wound. Besides, we are none of us perfect, God knows; and some of u.** nee our faults all the plain­ er when no one points them uut, but they are left entirely bt%reen ourselves nnd Him. “And now," said Roderick, anxiocsly, “tell m«! about my wife.” “Poor lamb! poor lamb! lamb! I have been with her these two hours. She thought it was her own mother, for she Hpoke a few wolds in French and called me •mamma.’ Tell hrr. Rody. that----- ” Mrs. Jardine turned away, and again burst into honest, irrepressible tears. “But still, mother, how did you come? How did you hear?" She could not s[n*ak. but she put into his hand a little note, dated two days be­ fore. written in pencil, and iu a hand very feeble, very shaky, but neat aud clear. “Dear Mr. Black: If you should hear I atn likely to die. will you go at once to Rieherden and fetch Mrs. Jardine? You know her. No one will comfort my hus­ band like his mother. Yours truly. “SILENCE JARDINE.” “And now." said Mrs. Jardine, smiling through her tears, the brightest, sweet­ est smile. Roderick thought. thaV he hnd ever seen on her face, “go’to your wife, and let me go to my grandson. My son will not now want his mother to comfort him, thank the Lord!” CONCLUSION. A warm, hom-st heart and a generous nature will cover a multitude of sins— or let us say errors—especially in a grand­ mamma. Over that baby’s cradle the hearts of the two women, young Mrs. Jardine and old Mrs. Jardine, soon come to meet in the most wotuhrful way; as they met, too. over another thing, or rather person—often an endless “bone of contention" between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they hap[*en to be weak, selfish or jealous women, which these were not—the man whom each lovfd best of all the world. ■ Roderick's wife nnd mother, however opposite their characters, bad certain [Kiints in common, out of which grew an unmistakable sympathy, namely, strength of will and thoroaghheM of purpose, great sincerity and nffectionatcmus. the l>ower of self-devotion und an entire ab­ sence of that petty egotism which is al­ ways on the watch to guard its own rights, nnd has no vision for anybody's rights except its own. Besides, meeting her son afresh, as it were, with that great gulf of sorrow between, which had sore­ ly changed both him nnd her, and finding him now a aud..a father .. man ...—. —a .. husband ——----- ...... —in many ways very different from the “boy" she had lM*en accustomed to think him.

No fear of any mare “difficulties’’ to the cud of their days. And when, the last Suiglay she wiw with him, he went, a little against his will, but just to please her. tu ’be ugly I’resbytirian Church six miles off. and, sitting between his wife nnd his mother, listened to the singing,’ rather nasal and drawling, tat Dotfunswwt, of the 22d Psalm, “My table Thou hast furnished' In presearc of my foes; My beadarith oil Thou dost anoint. And my cup overflows," bin heart melted, for he felt bis cup did indeed ••overflow" His “table.” too, was likely to be “fur­ nished"—tatter than he had once hnd any lio|*e of. When his mother spoke of busi­ ness matters, nno Insisted on his giving up bis work nt the mill, nnd living as n “genttanan." he bad refum^d point-blank, doclarinif his determination to carve out his own fortune, and make his nwn indc[K-ndent way in the world. But wbeu. on the *lay of baby’s christening, lie found that Mrs. Jardine, who never did things by halves, and was us generous in her loves ns ungenerous in her dislikes, had settled upon baby’s mother-not father— a «nm of several thousand pounds, suf­ ficient to remove nil fear of the future from the [fflrents' hearts, Roderick was deeply moved. _ "She is a good woman—my mother! My father was .right to respect her aud love her, as he did to the very last. God bless them! I have need to ta proud of both my parents.” “Yrs," said Silence, gently, ns ,she stoo[>cd and kissed her son, who luy fast asleep on her lap. Bnt her owii life taught her to understand other lives; what were, and what they might have been. And her life is ull before tar still, for she is yet comparatively a young woman, though her boys—and she lias not one, but several—begin to measure heights with her, and to reckon ho’w Hoonjbey will be. "up tu mother's shoulder." “Father" is a standard which none them hope to ar­ rive at, either physically, mentally, or morally. To ta so tall, so- clever, or ho good as he—none of then** lads could ever imagine such a thing. They do not mere­ ly love him, they adore him. And they are right, or at least two people, (heir mother and their grandmother, believe so. Roderick Jardine lives still at Black­ ball. keeping up the old family home in comfort, but yet in great simplicity, as is wisest, with his increasing family. Be­ sides. his early experiences have given him a horror of luxury, of that wealth which is mere wealth and nothing more. The Jardines of Blackball hold them­ selves to ta truly "rich" iieople, because they always hnvc a little more than they spend; they use their money without abusing it, and therefore enjoy it to the uttermost, and cause others besides them­ selves to enjoy iMoo. But their sons are all brought up to abhor extravagance, waste, or self-indulgence, aware that each will have to make his own way in the world, as is best for every man. and woman, too. perhaps. Sometimes Roderick says if ho hnd many girls he would bring them up, like the boys, to corn their own living—as their mother once did—so that they might taste the sweetness of inde­ pendent bread, and never be tempted for aught but love. But he has only one girl, his little"Tacita"—her right name is Silence, but be will not have her called so—one of “papa's odd ways," as he grows older. lie Rtay never ta. strictly s[K-akiug. a “great" man. but everybody recognizes him ns a cultivated man of very consider­ able talent—“known in the gates," as his wife delightedly sees, every year more nnd more. But it is more by his pen than Ids personality, for he seldom goes from homo, except once a year to Richer^len to see his mother and the family. A not too attractive family, but he is very kind to them, even to Mrs. Alexander Thomson and her numerous brood of sickly, illtempered children, whom she brings with her sometimes to get n breath of whole­ some life, within and without, in the hap­ py atmosphere of Blackball. "Young Mrs. Jardine." as she continues to be called, for old Mrs. Jardine may live to ta ninety, still lochs so young, so fair! her peaceful, contented heart shining through her “heavenly" eyes. ’ The world has never heard of her, never will hear, except through her husband nnd her sons. She docs uot "shine iu society.” though she is well able to keep up the dignity of the family wherever she goes. But of her own dignity, her own praise, she thinks very little, having, indeed, far too many other and more important things vo think ntaut. As wife. #» mother, as mistress, her burdens nre often pretty heavy, but never more than she can bear. Aud he helps her, as she helps him—the husband of her youth, who will, please God. be the isiiniunesi. mw.-i fcithfullest. lonurn fondest lover ef uriutu her old ajr. age. N That time is still a good way off, nnd they may yet have much to bear together. Thej will bear it. because it is borne to­ gether. And I think, if any one were to Msk Roderick Jardine what has taen—In plain English—the backbone of his life, his preservation from evil, his incentive tc-aB good, he would-say ,jt was that strong first love and venturous early mar­ riage; because he had sense to her and to .take hold of the Messing that heaven dropped in his path—that treasure "above rubies" which most men desire, and so few win. or deserve to win. But Roderick did.

In the early apple history of this country the Newtown pippin was prominent. It originated at Newtown, on -Long Island, and Its merits soon spread its cultivation.. It was especial­ ly successful on the hillsides along the Hudson River, alid for many years large quantities were grown there and annually shipped to Europe. Later It spread all over the country, but it found few places which were conge­ nial. To-day it in but very little grown outsipe of the mountainous regions of West-Virginia, where it Is famous to­ day as the Albemarle pippin.

There Is probably no one apple which Is more largely modified by Its environ­ ment—by varying soils and climates. At tho Columbian Exposition In Chi­ cago in 1893, New South Wales ex­ hibited some very fine apples under the name of Five-Crowned pippin. Fruit experts were puzzled by it at first, but after a careful study became pretty well convinced that this, too. was onr old friend the Newtown pippin, modi­ fied by the soil of Australia and the breezes of the Pacific. In West Vir­ ginia it was formerly supposed that the Albemarle was a distinct variety, but the consensus of opinion among hor­ ticulturists now Is that it Is only the Newtown pippin.

Durl ng the past few days there has been considerable talk around town that our high school was "becoming expensive,” was "more and more of a burden upon the taxpayers every year,” that the increase of salaries of the teachers of the higher grades was "un­ necessary” and "unwarranted” and all that sort of thing. The trouble Is that too many people talk these things without knowing what they are talk­ ing about, and without first learning the facts In the case. The facts are that Nashville has one of the best high schools in the state, and it is be­ ing run on a better basis and at a low­ er cost per capita, according to the average attendance, and per graduate, than any school tn this part of the state, so far as we have been able to learn, and far below the average around the state. A comparison of the statistics of our high school for the past four years, covering the last year of Prof. Mc­ Laughlin’s stay and the three years since Mr. Andrus assumed control, shows a jarger gross expense, but re­ veals the fact that the amount paid In 6early fur tuition of foreign scholars as more than doubled, reducing the net cost of the school to the village, while the cost of education per capita has been more than cut in two, and the cost per graduate reduced from 8161.00 to 831.50, with every prospect that the ratio of ultimate benefit to the district will continue for the com­ ing year.

The slopes and entrances to the lower workings are blockaded by wreckage, and several days will be required for res­ cue {tarties to reach the bodies in the mine. The explosion in the mine shook the whole country around, wrecked the power plant, a fan house, and several other buildngs. entailing heavy loss, but tho death roll far overshadows other conaiderptions. Immediately after the ex­ plosion . Supt. Bradbury telephoned for phyaicans. Brave men tried to descend some of the air shafts and c*cni»e slopes without success, and it was not until three hours after the explosion that n volunteer party entered" the main en­ trance to the slopes, and soon afterwards returned with two bodies. Then reported raves stopjied further-progress down the aliipc. Then a party went down to shovel out the caves, after which the searching party again entered, and work iu that line I* now going on. The explosion is described by many as ** most terrific, shaking the whole- town and causing women and children to run into the streets imploring for the safety • of the beloved ones. Though there is no fire in the mine, tbe-explosion is supposed to have come from n blast setting fife to d-nst. making a dust explosion. The mine was suppoMil t« l>e free from gas and well ventilated. This is the third disas­ trous explosion in this vicinity. In 1881 No. 2 mine.

They are William and George Coombs, brothers, aged respectively 62 and 84 years. They live in a rude hut. which was built by their father about seventy-five years ago. Until three years ago the roof of clapboards was secured simply by long poles laid across nnd tied. Now the boards are nailed on. The window nt the side of the door was formerly filled witli glass, but of late years it has been closed with a tightly nailed piece of sheet iron? When this hut was built Indians and nil sorts of wild animals roamed the then limitless forest, and WAREHOUSE IN ASHES. Fire Causinc Nearly Half a Million Loom in Sioux City, Iowa. The destruction by "fire at Sioux City. Town, of the Western Transfer and Impl< ment Company's warehouse and the storehouse and elevator of Hubbard & Gere's linseed oil mill Thursday caused an aggregate loss of $400,000. The storage building was an immense structure, 150x 00 feet, including a brick oil storage an­ nex. The main part of the elevator was five stories high, nnd had a capacity of J50.000 bushels of flaxseed. In bins nt lbw time were stored 100.000 bushels, and on the lower floor several thousand tons of linsecd-oi! cake wore ready for flu- market. In the annex the oil was in huge tanks, having an estimated capacity of 120.000 gallons. The huge warehouse «if the Transfer company. 100 by 150 feet in sixo and with four stores beside® the b.iM-ment. was filled from top to Itottom with farm implements nnd machinery. Ths machinery was owned by about twen­ ty implement companies tn different parts of the United States. The contents of the burned warehouse were covered by Insurance aggregating $31,750. Tho warehouse building itself was covered b> $30,000 insurance in Liverpool and I/»udoii and Globe Insurance Company. The insurance on the oil mill cannot be obtained, as the National Linseed Oil Company handles the insurance on all Ils plants. Franklin and Pennsylvania com|>anios carried $3,000 each and the Commercial Union $0,000 on seed in lb« elevator.

Now the vast forests are but a memory and well-tilled farms occupy the spot that once were the Indians* hunting grounds. William nnd George Coombs were bom iu Kentucky and came to Clark County when the latter .was a small boy. Rumor has It that In his early manhood William was Jilted by a cruel maiden, nnd he then nnd there abjured the sex forever. His faithful brother George, whom he to this day terms “the baby," became his companion, and tho two have ever since lived their life alone, solitary In the midst of teeming civilization. Their but is tn the center of a 400acre tract of land, which they own nnd rent out on shares. They will never sell their grain unless they get the price they think they should have or they have to have money’to pay their taxes. They never keep any money by them. The produce they raise on the five-acre tract surrounding the hut and the ogg® from their poultry qupply them with the necessaries of life, all of which they purchase of a huckster, never going to any town unless per­ emptorily summoned. The only visit they have ever paid Marshall In mhn^ years was when they were summoned on a trial a few years ago. The old men yet preserve all their faculties. Sight and hearing are good. In their earlier days both were mighty hunters, nnd thousands of wild turkeys as well is numbers of deer and bear fell to their rifle®.

Dakota, I witnessed an Indian funeral dance. The brave, a man of influence In the tribe, and who carried on his left hand the scar of a fearful wound, said, to have been received at Fort Phil Kear­ ney, was laid out stiff and stark iu the tepee In which he d!ed. The women, just as Christian women do, washed the corpse, and then dressed him in all his ornaments. A red blanket, was wrap­ ped about, him, and a bow and quiverful of arrows were added to the equipment of death. Then the body was carried on his favorite pony, led by a woman, to the place of rest. On four poles with crotches, freshly driven Into the ground, a platform of sticks was laid at a height of about ten feeL On this plat­ form the body reposed, ns if the war­ rior was asleep in, his blanket, with his bow and quiver beside'him. Then the living braves circled about tne scaf­ fold with a slow, sorrowful motion, uttering a song or plaint. They made throe -or four rounds; then, silently mounting their jMtnles, they returned to camp, leaving their dead comrade to the company of the birds of heaven. In tho dry ulr of Dakota the body becomes rapidly desiccated, and one can be In the neighborhood of scores of these burial scaffolds without noticing any­ thing offensive. It Is also a singular fact that the carrion bird^peldom look for food among tllo bodies thus.expos­ ed. The motive for disposing of re­ mains in this way probably is to save them from the wolves, which would scratch up a grave. Bodies are some­ times high up in the bran cites of trees, and it used to be no unusual thing In the river bottoms of the Missouri to come across a departed warrior thus disposed of. Reassuring.

She had been Invit­ ed to drive with a stately old school Southern gentleman ami his daughter, and after she had accepted the invita­ tion. to her surprise. the father opened his handsome putw and gave her a sil­ ver dollar.

One of the oldest churches In Wash­ ington has a steeple formed of a tree. The church was' built under the shade of a tall poplar tree. and an ingenious member of the congregation suggested that the tree should become the steeple of the building.

The business of cutting sod to be transplanted is not so common since most people, even In the cities, have learned how much cheaper and easier it Is to get a better lawn with a little fertilizer and grass seed.

The bullet struck Li Hung Chang In the face. It is brlievrd (hat the wound la not serious. Prime Minister Ito telegraphed to Hiroshima asking that Dr. Sato, the iuqterial physician. be rent to Shimouorekl to attend the Chinese Commissioner. The Minister of Stat* aud a number of other officials visited U Hung Chang and expressed their deep cantion was taken by the police and mil­ itary to prevent any trouble. The at­ tempt to asaaiudnate the representative of the Emperor of Chinu caused the most intense excitement and on every aide there were expressions of deep regret. The would-be murderer was arrested. It is believed that he was prompted to the crime by misguided patriotism. The news of the attempted assassination of id Hung Chong crested much excitement at Yokohama. The Emperor and Em­ press sent a messenger to Shimonoaeki to express to the distinguished (Chinese statesman their regrets at the most unfor­ tunate occurrence. The news of the assault ou U Hung Chang has caused a sensation in diplo­ matic circles in Washington.

The Chinese legation received prompt notification of the matter, but their ad­ vices contained nothing not in tho press dispatches. Minister Yang Yu did not care to discuss the subject. It was stated nt the legation that it was not believed that it would lead to the total breaking off of the peace negotiations, although it might cause them to be interrupted for a time. Tfie attack on Li Hung Chang calls to mind the attempt made on Moy 11. 1891, to kill the exarowitx, now the Emperor of Russia. In November, 1890, the rxarowitx, iu company with his cousin. Prince George of Greece, started on a tonr of the world. They visited Vienna, A4*en«, Cairo, Bombay, CalcutU, Madras, Cey­ lon. Bangkok. Siam, various places in China and Japan. While at Ot*u. Japan, the. exarowitx was attacked with a sword by a fanatical Japanese officer «md quits severely wounded. He would in all like­ lihood have been killed hail it not been for the bravery of Prince George, who sprung upon the would-be assassin and felled him to the ground. The affair .caus­ ed the greatest excitement, and the tuikudo traveled to Otsu to visit the exarowitx and expreaa his regret for the attack. MILLION DOLLARS IN ASHES.

It adds greatly to tbe Interest of an hour spent on tbe bill top If you take along a good pair of field glasses. I was up there Sunday, ana with the glasses could recognize a number of good peo­ ple on their way to church. I have of­ ten wanted to climb to the top of the eighty-foot standpipe, but the thought* Of What- might happen If I had 40 Steck of my Old heart trouble on fbe way up have so far prevented ,»?. The view from there must be a nikgfiluCent one on a clear day. 1 wonder what “Old Clendennlng" would say if he could be permitted to drop down on the bill today. Ill bet his eyes would open like a pair of Blue Point oysters at the Michigan Club Banquet. I beg his pardon for call­ ing him "Old Clendennlng." for I never heard him called anything else and I don’t know what his first name was^ but I mean no disrespect to him. He used to run a blacksmith shop right under the brow of the water works hill, when Nashville was in its swaddling clothes. In fact I don’t know but what he was always there, for he was here when we came here and he looked like an "old residenter" even then. He was an eccentric char­ acter, as I remember him, and must have been a study for. the older peo­ ple of that day. . His customers came for many miles around, and I presume it takes forty blacksmiths now to do I the work for the territory covered at that time by Clendennlng alone. But there are more people here now than there were then, and fewer musqultoes. In common with a half dozen other boys, my earlier playmates, I used .to make this little old forge a favorite loafing nlace, and I would stand for hours watching tne sturdy old smith working the white Iron into articles of merchandise: for at that time most of the shovels, grub-hoes, and a hun­ dred other similar utensils, were hand made, and while not so highly polished or fanclly made as those now bought at the stores, I can assure you they were of Intrlwlc merit, and I Venture the Assertion that many tools of "Old Ciendenning’s” manufacture are In use today among the pioneers of this vicinity, and that they are of. the non-wear-out kind. I remember one day 1 stood watching the old man forging a wedge for splitting rails, when one 6f tbe iron scales which flew from the ruddy Iron under Ills sturdy blows found a lodg­ ment between my toes, and It stuck there and burned and burned, and no amount of kicking or shaking could dislodge It until It cooled off. That niece of Iron was hot, and I know it,.ana If you don’t believe it I can show you scars on two toes to prove it. I have beard It'said that some of our ladles have decided to put on bloomers this season fur bicycling. Now while I presume it will arouse some criticism from a few people who are squeamish about such things, I warn to go on record as saying that 1 cannot see anything in the least immodest or unwomanly about the bloomer costume. It is sensible and rational, and 1 hope to see the day when It will be common, not only for bicycling, but for walking, riding, and all other forms of exercise where women need free and untrammeled use of their muscles. I saw a good thing apropos of this subject in Kate Fields’ Washington the other day, which I can't ref rain.from quoting in this connection: "Mark how man walks by! Erect, free, with no petHcoats to endanger health or temper, with pockets all over him, with hands free, he Is ‘lord of creation.’ And he is ‘lord’ because he has so willed it. Talk about the equality of the sexes! Equal suffrage—as long as we are slaves of fashions set In the interests of manufacturers of certain goods, ut­ terly reg-ndlesa of woman’s physique, we shall be slaves and deserve nothing better. If a woman be ueat and trim and becomingly arrayed, and has something inside of her head, people accept her clothes. The opinion of ultra Idiots is of no consequence. Women are too often unnecessary cow­ ards but, the bicycle is the evangelist of the coming dress, the advent of which I await with an unruffled brow.” Among the amendments of the con­ stitution to be voted on- this spring is one authorising the election of an ad­ ditional judge in the 30th circuit, comprising Ingham and Livingston counties. The amendment ought to l>e carried. I am informed that Judge Person, of that district, held court on every working day but fourteen dur­ ing 18M, and has not lost a day so far this year, and in spite of this zealous attention to his work the business of the court is running behind. No man can long endure the physical and men­ tal strain involved ia such laiior, and tbe people of tbe state should not, and we believe do not , expect IL will state that wbrn first called upon to enter the public arena and become a candidate for tbe office of county school oommlsslooer, I distinctly stated to tbe committee that 1 would under no circumstances accept the Domination vnlers the campaign would be conducted without unjust criticism or false statement* regard­ ing tbe work of Mr. Andrus, who has held the position during the past six — Shortly after my nomination Irecel’KlB lettcr from Mr- Andon c..ngT»luUUni( roe upoo mr nomlMlion. him to be in the tbe attitude of opposing hlnl a woman, and assuring me that be would take no unjust advantage of my position, and stating farther that as "nls own nomination had come to him entirely unsought he should make no can,raw whatever, butattend quiet­ ly to bls work and let the people de­ cide the matter.” Imagine my sur­ prise. when, a few days later,I learned that Mr. Andrus and his immediate friends were circulating the report that I was not legally qualified, and that being a"woman of delicate heal th” I was not physically able to perform the duties of county school commis­ sioner; although I already hold two first grade certificates granted at the regular public examination held In Grand Rapids, Michigan, one of which certificates will be in force until Jan­ uary 1896,' I Immediately went to Mr. Andrus and said In the presence, of D. C. Warner and Superintendent W. D. Sterling, tho other members of tbe examining board, that I desired In addltloo to the certificates I already held, to take tbe regular county ex­ amination to be held March 28th anu 29tb, 1805, in Hastings, In order that no one could Inany w*y raise a ques­ tion as to my legal qualification*, and asked him if he would look oyer my examination papers and if be found me worthy, issue a certificate on the Saturday following the examination; stating at the same time that I de­ sired to withdraw If I was not eligible or could not make myself eligible. .Mr. Andrus positively refused to acceed to my request or consent to look over tbe examination papers In time to grant a certificate before the first day of April, 1895, and an affadavlt to this effect, sworn onto the 12th day of March, 1895, by Daniel C. Warner and Wellington D. Sterling is now on file la tbe law office of Lowden & Bar­ rell. The other two members of the examining board assert that it is In their power to grant tbe certifi­ cate the day following the examina­ tion if they desire, and further that It Is their lawful duty to do so If request­ ed by a candidate and both expressed their willingness to examine their share of the papers. A few days later I receive a some­ what lengthy communication from Mr. Andrus, apologizing for the ab­ ruptness of bls answer, stating that it was not because, be would not but be­ cause he could not grant my request that he refused, and Intimating that I make a similar statement to the pub­ lic In my letter of withdrawal. Since then 1 have made Inquiry In several other counties relative to the powers of the examining boards aud they ail assure me It is not only their privilege to examine the papers the day following any examination if re­ quested to do so, but their duty to grant a certificate any .time after the writing of tbe papers that the candi­ dates may demand if he or she is found worthy. Farther. Mr. Andrus states that the papers of the first grade can­ didates must be sent tu the State Superintendent of Public Instruction for his examination and approval. This Is not true; a direct communica­ tion from Superintendent Pattengill distinctly states that the standings required to entitle applicants to first grade certificates shall be left entirely to the discretion of tbe examining board, and only those teachers who desire to go from one county Into an­ other to teach must have their certifi­ cates counter-signed by the Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction. If 1 Interpret the meaning of Mr. Andrus' article correctly, he seems desirous to impress the voters of Bar­ S county that I have withdrawn from e candidacy or must do so eventual-' ly; nothing is farther from my Inten­ tion. Competent legal talent in both Kent and Barry County has pro­ nounced me eligible to the position of county school commissioner and asserted that if I was not already qualified, a first grade certificate could be granted before April 1st, 1895, in this county. Mr. Andrus has sought to place me lo awkward position, and in bls article of last week steles that he appreciates the ‘awkwardness;" be further suggests that voters consider tbe question of the physical ability of a lady for commissioner, and takes.the ground that voting for a lady is "sen­ timent" and fora man is "business.” I am fully confident that If elected the voters of Barry county, as well as the citizens In general, will realize' that they did not cast their votes for "sentiment.” In conclusion I wish lo repeat that I have not withdrawn from the race and do not intend to; farther, that I am and shall be both legally and physically qualified to per­ form the duties of that office, and if elected, I shall do my duty faithfully as I understand it, and give my whole time and energy to the work. That this should be a wordy cam­ paign Is very far indeed from my wishes, but in justice to myself and tbe public the mis-statements in last week’s publication most be refuted.

HOW BOSTON COPPERS WILL DISTINGUISH DRUNKS. Attempt toAsMuinatcLi Hung Chaim Huuduy'* Fire Record—Radical De­ parture from Ancient Cu tom in the House of Commons. Men to Walk a Chalk Line. Common Councilman Lane, of Bouton, has Introduced a bill requeeting the Com­ mittee on Police Department to consider the expediency of establishing at stationhouae* some official teat or standard of inebriety which shall apply to every per­ son arrested and brought to a station on the charge of intoxication before he ia locked up and held for trial. Mr. Lane said that he offered the order in good faith, and ndded: “I think the teat should be either to make the prisoner walk the chalk line or go through some form of spelling. If he is unable to walk the required line or spell the word, then thnt should be sufficient reason to lock him up on the charge of drunkenness.** TO PAY THK MEMBERS. British House of Commons Tears Up All Tradition. Tbe House of Commons nt Ixmdon by a vote of 176 to 158 adopted the resolu tion offend by Mr. Allen providing for the payment of members. No metre rad­ ical measure probably has er*r passed the English House of Parliament. For .centuries a seat in the House has been •>pen only to those who had the social position to insure a successful canvass and the money to enable them to live in an expensive part of Ixmdon the greater part of the’year. 'litis has been the prac­ tical situation until five years ago. Wealth was tho one thing necessary; ability or popularity went for nothing, •for it took a handsome income to be a member of the House of Commons. The change came when John Burns was elect­ ed as one of the members for South Ix>ndon. Burns was practically the first workingman—and n poor one at thnt— to take his seat in the House nnd the jiarty which elected him found itself con­ fronted with the problem of how his rxjh uses were to be met. This was finally done by public subscription nud the need of it directed public attention to the fact that only wealth was represented in Par­ liament. It took long for England to do mure than think about it. but nt last a Lili was prepared providing for the pay­ ment of the expenses of those members who were unable to meet their own. This bill was defeated, but it was the |»oint of the wedge nnd the father of the pres­ ent bliL * TRADE LOOKING UP. Indication* of Improvement Arc Ap­ pearing Much More Distinctly. K. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: “Indications of improve­ ment In business grow more distinct. Tbe most obtrusive of them, tbe s|>eculntive udvaii'-e. on cotton and in stocks, is the least reliable; nor can cither of these be said to reflect actual improvement In business conditions. llailrond earnings uro scarcely better and the speculation is largely bused on expectation of more ef­ fective monopoly in coal nnd some other products. Ixjndon was buying largely, but likely to sell on any rise. Cotton docs not rise because there Is more demand for goods, but that there is ryore demand fur goods because cotton is dearer. More valuable indications are that the volume: of domestic trade gains a little, money is in much better legitimate demand, and the foroe of bauds at work gradually in­ creases in some industries nnd in others is restricted only by strikes, which are inestimably temporarily.** WAR .ON SUNDAY-SCHOOL BOOKS Presbyterian Board of Publications Assail. Wishy-Washy Fiction. The Presbyterian Board of Publica­ tions was openly criticised by the Sun­ day school missionaries of that denom­ ination at the Detroit session of the mis•dunaries’ annus) conference. It was stated that the hymn books and tracts ■rut to the missionaries for use in their pioneer Sabbath schools were unsuitable and iu some cases antiquated. Dr. Wor­ den advised the missionaries not to force poor literature on the people. He re•earked that the average Sunday school library *’«• usually filled with wishywashy fiction that exercised a demor­ alizing influence upon the Intellectual fiber uf the child’s mind.

Tin. t rims la credited to the vigilantes of the district, who tielieved her ia league with cattle rustlers. Some think the rustlers committed rhe crime in revenge for evi­ dence against them furnished by the woman. The coroner found $60 on tho woman’s person, which is regarded as certain evidence the crime was not com­ mitted by tramps, as waa at first sup­ posed. Her struggle for life hffd been a IiarcLone. Thu bedding nnd clothing of the woman were torn aud scattered about the building. Her shoes had evidently been removed, probably by beroHf, pre­ paratory to going to bed, when surprised by the lynchers. Tbe woman had evi­ dently been assaulted before she was hanged, and everything points to a pre­ meditated plan for the perpetration of tbe dastardly deed. WHO OWNSTHE LAND? l EES.

They slipped about on the Icy pave­ ment and it was as much ns they could do to keep the creak­ ing load on the move. The driver held taut lines and encouraged them by shouts and clucks. He swung the team Into an alley, which is between Michigan and W&basb avenues, and just afur tho wagon entered tbe alley a bind wheel Nettled Into a nit. The horse* were suddenly jerked back- and tbe wagon came to a dead stop. . It was a bad hole into which the wheel End settled and tbe poll was up HKADQIAKTE1H OF grade. The driver took the reins In his left band and began lashing the horses with a long whip. They lunged for­ ward with frightened snorts and tbe harness squeaked with the strain as they tried In vain to start the load “Go on there! Git ep! G’wan!” sRouted the man In tbe sent, cutting one horse and then the other with the whip. They scrambled, swayed from side to side, dug their iron shoes into tile hard footing—but tbe wheel re­ mained in the hole. Then the man on tbe wagon swore and jumped to the ground. He kicked the horses and beat them with the slack of bis lines. They Jumped frantically and swung to one side. This annoyed him and be jerked each of them by the bit and pounded It in the nose with his gloved hand. The man was vexed because he , couldn't deliver that load of coal on time. The horses should have pulled the wagon right along. Some women were _ watching him from windows in the neighborhood and a man who had halted at the entrance to the alley ventured to come forward and say: "I wouldn't beat the horses that way. It doesn't do any good. They haven't strength enough to pull the load out of there.” “This ain't none of your business,” said the driver. “I’m handlin' these horses, and you keep your face closed.” Thereupon he once more began beating the animals with the lines and they plunged and scrambled until their sides were heav­ ing. But the wagon didn't move, and the driver, whose patience was about exhausted, kicked the horses some more, nnd called them horrible names. In the meantime the man who re­ monstrated with tbe driver bad pro­ ceeded to the corner drug store and sent a telephone message. After doing thia he returned to tbe alley to watch the determined man continue his punish­ ment. The animals, puffing from the continued exertion, seemed ready to totter and fall in their tracks, but the driver informed the four_or five peo­ ple who had paused to watch his exhi­ bition that be would “make 'em pull it out or kill ’em.” He was big and dangerous looking, so no one Interfered with bls plans.

Washington correwpoudenre: . An analysis of tho Federal treasury s condition shows the Government’s finan­ ces are now working into better shape. The treasury has run behind about $38,­ 000,000 thus far this current fiscal year (since July’l, 1894). but unless calcula­ tions are sadly at fault the record for the last four months of the year, to June 80, will show an income equal to the out­ go. Customs and internal revenue re­ ceipts are on a bed-rock hard-times basis. Any change must be in the direction of Increase. Tbe deficit last year (July, 1893. to June 1894, inclusive) was $70,­ 000,000 in round figures. This year (July, 1®4. tn June, 1895. inclusive) the short­ age wifi approximate $38,000,000. Next year (1895-6) there should be a hand­ some surplus, with revenue laws un­ changed. To delve somewhat into detail It mny be stated that receipts from customs are running about $100,000 a day ahead ot Inst year. • Occasional spurts to $300,000 er £400.0 .'0 a day inert a«e suggest a growing'drift in the direction of enlarged rev­ enue* from- that' source, but $100,000 a day Is n fair average of the daily increase, end there is really nothing in sight to jus­ tify expectation of a further swell for several months. The customs receipts for the first eight months of the current fiscal year (July. 1891. to Maryb, 1895) '.aggregated $99,920.111.60, as compared with $91,615,138.07 during the corre­ sponding period of 1SU3-4. A monthly average of $13,000,000 during the four last months of the fiscal yenr will put the footings for the year above $150,000,­ 000, or $18,000,000 over last year. The receipts from “internal revenue.” for the flrat eight months of the fiscal year were nearly $5,000,000 ahead of 1893-94 for the corresponding period, the total to March 1, 1894. and 1895, respectively, being $100,501,913.69 and $95,280,289.96. More thnn one-half of the revenue of the first eight months of the present fiscal year was collected in July and August, and on Sept. 1 last the amount collected was $18,000,000 greater than on the cor­ responding date of the' preceding year. This difference dwindled to $5,000,000 luring the succeeding four months, and the Internal revenue receipts are now running $100,000 a day behind Inst year on an average. At tbe present rate of decrease the revenues from that source 'would aggregate not more than $138,­ 000,000 for the entire fiscal year, against $140,722,760.17 for the year 1893-94, a falling off of $9,000,000 approximately. The Secretory of the Treasury relies with confidence on getting in $15,000,000 from income tax payments before the end of June, which would swell the cash com­ ing in through internal revenue channels to tho neighborhood of $153,000,000, or $6,000,000 above last year's total. In addition to revenue from customa and Internal taxation the Government de­ rives about $15,000,000 a year from mis­ cellaneous sources. The treasury books at the end of the current year, J\jne 30, should show something like this: Received from * customs... .$150,000,000 Received from internal rev­ enue .. ................................... 153,000,000 Received from miscellaneous sources ................................. 15,000,000 Total _________ $318,000,000 The expenses of carrying on the Gov­ ernment from July -1, 1894, to March 1, 1895, were $247,173,679^3. It is be­ lieved thnt the total expenses for tbe year etn be kept within $355,000,000, or $10,000,000 below the year 1893-94. If these expectations are fulfilled the deficit for tho entire yenr will approximnte $38,­ 000,000. Now $38,000,000 is just about tho shortage at tho present writing. It will be seen, therefore, that it is the hope and purpose of tho treasury to keep the Government on an even financial keel during the remainder of the fiscal year. Whatever it may run behind during March, April and May will bo made up In June from the income tax. Receipt* and Disbursements. Tho following sumarization of tbe Governmental receipts aud disburse­ ments by months for the laat two years will prove of great value to readers ofthis paper in arriving at an intelligible understanding of the present treasury situation. These figures are obtained from the records of J. Worthington Ford, treasury statistician, nnd ore official: March 1, IBM, Europe paid an advere* merchandise trade balance of $218,000,­ 000 with $53,000,000 tn gold and $63,000,­ 000 in stocks and bonds of American pro­ duction. The corresponding eight months of 1894-5 (bringing the calcula­ tion down to within a fortnight) show a merchandise trade balance against Eu­ rope at $92,000,000. That balance was paid off with American securities, whil* net gold demands upon this country for $42,000,000 additional go to show that si'curitie* to that value were also thrown back upon the markets, indicating a total security bnekflow of $134,000,000. or $31,000,000 less than during the corre­ sponding period of 1893-4. Now the prospect Would be blue, in­ deed. if there was any likelihood that fore eign holdings of our obligatfons were com­ ing back for any considerable length of time at even the diminished rate of $17,­ 000,000 a month, but tbe returns for Feb­ ruary very clearly mark a turn in the tids. They show that this country imported $4,067,000 more gold than it exported, and thnt it bought mprchandisc in.cxcea* of.exports by $2,017,000, thus creating an adverse balance of $6,081,000, which must have liecn paid with securities. Our se­ curities are beginning to find their way back to European investors. The trade balances indicate that .during the last twenty months, or since July 1, 1893, this country has been obliged to buy back its paper to the market value of $376,­ 000,000 ($242,000,000 in the full fiscal year 1893-94 and $134,000,000 during the find eight months of 1894-95), and tho prospect of getting out from under a part bt this load will be a source of *atisfaction to tbe business world. The process is not likely to be rapid at first, how- DEAD IN THE RUINS. At Toledo, Ohio, the roof of the Wabakh Railway round-house fell in during a fire, killing three men and injuring many more. The dead are: John A. Boner, John Leary, John J. Preston, and th* fatally injured F. Howard, P. McDon­ ough. Shortly before 10 o’clock In the fore­ noon people in the vicinity noticed a small blaze In the cupola of the building, evi­ dently kindled from a spark from som* passing locomotive An alarm was sent in and soon the department responded w ith three engines nnd hose carts. When tho fire started there were only thre* people in the building. They were: Levy Meade, foreman; Jack Finlay, an engi­ neer, and a machinist named Georg* Towers. The round-house whistles wi re at once soqnded and as many of the em­ ployes of the company reside in the vicin­ ity they were soon on the spot There was apparently no immediate danger, as the fire was still confined to the top of th* structure. They rushed inside and en­ deavored to get the engines out to pre­ vent their destruction. As nearly all of them had no water in the boilers consid­ erable delay waa occasioned in getting them in shape to move. Suddenly the roof was observed to be sagging. A cry of alarm went up, but tho roar of the flames evidently prevented the men on the inside from hearing it, and as the cross bar tie* of Iron support­ ing tbe roof gave way tho building cBllopsed nnd fell a mas* of ruins. It waa known that several people were in tho building when it fell and the collapse aiding materially in extinguishing tho flames, a search of the ruins was made ns soon as possible, revealing the extent of the tragedy. The. loss of six engine* destroyed is estimated at $40,000; build­ ing, $50,000; storeroom and miscellaneous stodk, $10,000. Total, $100,000. It la understood nn investigation will be mad* as to tho condition of the building, which has been used about forty years. It was one of tbe railway landmarks. BBCH1PT8 FBOM CUSTOMS.

The present atti­ tude of Great Britain in bullying the in­ dependent republics of South and Central Anwru-a must be checked soon or else the all-grabbing European monarchy will be making Asia or Africa out of this con­ tinent. r ' Thia government will go to war before permitting Great Britain to occupy any portion of Nicaragua, thereby curtailing the autonomous powers of the republic. If England ia allowed now to encroach upon any Independent Latin-American nation, a precedent will have been estab­ lished tor future encroachments else­ where and tbe force of the Monroe doc^ trine, which has been the safeguard of Latin-America for more than * seventy years, will be undermined. In this connection It may be noted that the rvl>el admiral. Da Gama, was sup­ ported by the combined monarchies of Europe iu his attempt to overthrow tho Brazilian republic and it Is with just pride that we can point the fact that it was tho •hot tired by Admiral Benham, in Rio . Janeiro harbor that broke the back of the rebellion and served notice on European monarchies that they must keep their hands off this continent In gratitude for that act the Fourth of July, our national holiday, has been declared a national holiday by Brazil and a monument to President Monroe, ths author of the doetrine that bears his name, is now being erected in the Brazilian capital. Yet not all of Europe's monarchies are hostile to our republican iustitntiona and to-day, just as during our civil war, we have a steadfast friend in the great Rus­ sian empire. It is now known that a cou­ ple of weeks ago Franc* and Germany, under the Influence of England, were go­ ing to join in a debt-collecting expedition to South America. Guatemala, Nicaragua and Venezuela have defaulted in the pay­ ment, of interest on bonds to German. French and English creditors. England sought to form a combination of the cred­ itors to compel the debtors to pay. The plan was to make a demonstration of force, and place agents pf the creditors in control of the revenues of the debtor countries until such time as the obligalions were satisfied. This was the policy thnt England adopted in Egypt. The re­ sult Js practical British absorption of that ancient country, ns the sovereignty of the Sultan or Khedive is now scarcely n formality. Our ambassador to Paris was instructed to rejnonstfate with France that such an act on her part would be considered unfriendly to tho United States. France felt disposed to yield to our remonstrance; but soon a stronger pressure was brought to bear. Our am­ bassador at tbe court of St. Petersburg urge?! tbe government of the Czar to use its influence with France to abstain. Russia, ever the friend and ally of the United States, promptly informed France that any action by that country unfriend­ ly* to tbe United States would be deemed au unfriendly oct to Russia. As an alli­ ance with Russia is the hope and ambi­ tion of French statesmen, tbe French gov­ ernment promptly took tbe cue and served notice on Great Britain that she would not join in the debt-collecting expedition. In tho Venezuelan boundary dispute with Great Britain and in which the United States has a deep interest, there are no new developments, save a disposi­ tion of Great Britain under certain condi­ tions to submit the difficulty to arbitra­ tion. A continuation of American firm­ ness in this matter will force Great Britain to consent to arbitration without any conditions—an act of justice which England has been refusing for over half a century. These later Instances of Europcaa in­ tervention in American affairs have al­ ready caused a powerful sentiment in Cen­ tral and South America for a Latin-Amer­ ican union, and many prominent states­ men in I<atin-America are anxious thnt the United Stales enter the union and thus make it a continental league. Such a union would more than anything else, .except a good thrashing, teach Great Britain to confine her traditional policy as bully, blood-spiller and land-grabber to Asia or Africa. Meantime another complication has arisen in tbe east between France and the United States, due to the action of France in having tried an American citizen and an ex-consul to Tamatavc, Madagascar, by court martial and sentencing him to twenty year*' imprisonment on the ground that be was in correspondence with the Hovns. tEe ruling class in Madagascar, with whoui France is at war. No official corresiMtiideoee from Madagascar has yet reached the State Department and no ac­ tion will be taken until the government in tp possession of all the facta in the case. Should France be in the wrong, aa ww seems likely, a protest will be made in the matter.

Prof. Moon* the officer In charge of the government weather station at Chicago, with Regard to the drought, said: “It is very general and something unusual for this time of year, which ?s usually favored with March gusts and squalls. If nothing more. There is nothing very serious' in the prospect, however. Vegetation is not far enough advanced to be much injured, unless the drouth'is long continued. I think that the month of April will have Its share of rainfall. I cannot believe that another dry year Is coming on. Farm­ ers have suffered from drouth now for three years in succession, and it is to be expected that the law of chance will cause a little variatiou the coming year." SOME CROP FIGURES. Report of the Statistician for tbs Department of Agriculture. According to a report of the Statistician for the Department of Agriculture the corn crop of 1894 was the smallest re­ ported in twenty years, and not since 1874 tins the aggregate yield been so meager. From an area of 76,000,000 acres planted only 62,500,000 acres were harvested, the remainder haring been cut tor fodder or abandoned in consequence of drought and devastating winds. "March 1, 1895, the merchantable corn crop of Illinois on hand aggregated 152,200,800 bushels, val­ ued at $54,705,528, while the unmerchant­ able footed up 10,912.200 bushels, with a valuation of $4,397,172. Notwithstanding the short crop farmers have not marketed their corn freely, believing it will com­ mand a higher price during the summer. Since Jan. 1 the weather has been severe, and stock required more feed than during the corresponding mouths of the three pre• vious years. Wheat in farmers' hands nt the same time was estimated at 75.000,000 bushels, or 30,000,000 bushels less than last year at the same time. This exhaustion of farm reserve is found in a large measure to be due to the fact that great quantities have been fed to hogs and other stock. Returns from North and South Dakota indicate unprecedented exhaustion of last year’s crop, correspondents in many coun­ ties reporting not enough on hand for spring seed and necessary food supply. From Nebraska comes a demand from 30,­ 000 families for an average of 1.31 bush­ els a family for seeding purposes this spring. March 1, 1895, the stock on hand in Illinois aggregated 5,063,040 bushels. In ncajjy every county throughout Cen­ tral and Southern Illinois some wheat has been feed to stock, yet tbe results were not sufficiently satisfactory to make it a general practice even among those who had wheat. The greater portion, if not all, of what is now on hand will be con­ sumed within the State. During 1894 the total production of wheat in North America was 515,488,000 bushels, an increase of ttO.OOO.OUO bushels over that of 1893. South America pro­ duced 104,000,000 bushels In the same year, the increasing product being due to the large extension of the wheat area in Argentina and Uruguay. Europe produced nearly 70,000.000 bushels more wheat iu 1894 than it did the preceding year. Asia showed a decrease of 13,000,000 bushels, and In Africa and Australia the crop of 1804 was the largest in four years. For the last four years the world’s crop of wheat has been as follows: 1804, esti­ mated at 2.590,000.000 bushels against 2.427,000.000 in 1SOI. 2.414.000,000 In 1802, nnd 2^70,000,000 in 1891. .

Morri­ son. The colonel believes thoroughly in the efficacy of discipline. He has spent a great part of his eventful ca­ reer In hotels, and one of his theories has always been that tbe mind can be so trained that the biggest sort of a hotel fire is powerless to- sidetrack the reasoning faculties on occasions when presence of. mind is needed. He Im­ pressed this theory very strongly upon Mrs. Morrison by conjuring up. a varlety.of critical exigencies aud Instruct­ ing her bow to act in given cases. Fate wbuld have it that the colonel should be put to the test. He and bls wife were aroused from their slumbers one night by an alarm of fire. The hotel in which they had their rooms was afire and great confusion and tumult ensued aiming tho guests. “Now Is the time to put Into practice what I have always preached to you, my dear,” said the colonel. “Don’t get excited. Put ou your indispensable apparel and take your time. Don’t lose your bead. Just watch me.” He calmed Mrs. Morrison’s anxiety, handed her tbe various articles necessary to her toilet, put on bls collar and cuffs, took his watch from under his pillow and placed It in bls vest pocket, put on his hat, packed a valise of valuables, and. taking his cane, walked with Mrs. Morrison out of the burning building Into the street “Now. my dear." he said when they were safe, “don’tjou see what a grand thing it is to keep cool and act with a deliberate purpose In an emergency like this? Here you are completely dressed as though you were going out for a walk, aod over yonder are several ladles In complete dishabille.” Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first time glanced at her husband. “You are right. William,” she said, “it is a grand thing to keep cool atjd act deliberately, but if I bad been you I would have stayed In tbe room long enough to put on my trousera.” Kings and Hawks.

He, too, was a character, for be bad been in the family as long as mammy, and, like the latter, had- made hjmsclf equally useful and highly esteemed. He was intrusted with tbe care of the family carriage. He generally bad an assist­ ant, the young driver, who, under his auperintdcnce, did most of the work and looked forward to the time when the old man should give up the post of honor and resign the reins Into his will­ ing hands. In his province he was ab­ solute. He drove ns he pleased, nnd no word of remonstrance could make him hasten the pace of his horses unless he saw fit to do so. Furthermore, at the foot of every hill everybody had to get out and Valk'up in order to spare the horses, and many a long, tiresome walk was taken at his command by the mem­ bets of tho family, for the old driver, very often known as “Daddy," but more frequently ns "Uncle/' wasadmltted to know what was best In the matter of driving, nnd his authority was, half laughingly,-half respectfully, acknowl­ edged. On the large plantations the word "driver" had a different slgnlficauce, for there the name was applied to a colored functionary of no little Im­ TAKING CHANCES. The monopoly of life on the large plantations wns broken when there was a wedding among the sieves. This frequently happened, as marriage was encouraged by the masters, aud in some casta, where the servants were highly esteemed, the ceremony took place in the parlor, with the family and a few neighbors as witnesses. A party dress, low-necked and short-sleeved, was presented to the bride by one of tbe la’dies, the groom being arrayed with equal gorgeousucM In tbe cast-off sporting clot hex of bls mukr. A bridal procession from the "quarters” to the house was a solemn affair, and both bride and groom enjoyed the momen­ tary prominence given them by the oc­ casion.

Tbe pot liquor was an Indlspeasablilty on the plantation, for to raise little dar­ kles without It was regarded as an Im­ possibility. It was the water in which were, no doubt, heartless masters aud cruel overseers; there were, no doubt, chains and whipping posts; but It Is probably not true thnt these were so common ns many persons suppose, for as a general thing the slaves were treated with some degree of considera­ tion, and in not a few cases the kindest possible relationsexisted between them and their owners. On the large planta­ tions. particularly In the cotton and rice districts, where hundreds, and, In some cases, thousands of slaves were owned by the same man, much less re­ gard was had for them than when they were employed ns Louse ser rants. In the former case,'the slaves giwllttleof their master or the members of his family; tbe overseer represented the master’s authority, and often abused the -master's power; and. deprived of all intercourse with their superiors, these classes of plantation slaves by no means equaled lu intelligence those who served in the households. Comrade* in Hoyhood Day*. Few persons have any Idea of the pleasantness of the relations existing la many households in the South at ttiat period. For boys, both white nnd biack, there was almost equality. Childhood is democratic, nnd so far as the sports of the country were con­ cerned they were followed alike by the young slaves nnd the sons of the master. To each of the latter a negro boy was generally assigned, who was understood to be his. nnd between the two there was commonly an anient friendship, with on one side a conceded superiority, and on the other a gra­ cious condescension. The little whites nnd the little darkles played together, hunted together, together went in swimming and took fever and ague, and together received their thrashings for robbing orchards ami irndon patches. There are many known in­ stances of friendship thus -ontructcd in boyhood which lasted during life, and not a few cases are recorded of singular fidelity and devotion on the part of the slaves toward their masters when the war cloud darkened their land. Among the girls It was differ­ ent, for they wore not permitted to airnre to the same extent In the amuse­ ments of the slave children, but oven the daughters of tbe planters generally entertained a warm affection for the old black "mammy" who cared for them during infancy and early chlld- A SWELL WEDDING LN' THE "QUARTERS." portance who was next in authority to the overseer.

When tbe mistress married and left the old borne she took her servant with ter. and when her children were born even to this day in the South, in a small house some distance from the mansion, and when the repast was prepared and dished up the leading part was taken by the cook, who raised to bar head the huge dish containing the turkey and bore It aloft, while behind her came a procession of small Injys, each carry­ ing in his hands a dish which he had been cautioned to treat with especial care under penalty of Laving every bone In his "wuthless karkldge" broken on tiie spot as a penalty for negligence. hams or other meats had been boiled, and that contained a considerable quantity of nourishment Thickened with corn meal and thoroughly reboil­ ed, it was served out to the youngsters by tbe mammy who had charge of them, with- the result that their little ribs were always well covered with fat Whimsical Experiment. Akbar, one of the first of the Great jdoguls who ruled India, has been nam­ ed the Asiatic Charlemagne. He was a statesman nnd an educator, and built a palace for the reception of men who loved learning and sought after wisdom. The Great Mogul’s passion for knowledge Is said to have been shown by a whimsical experiment he once made to determine if it was true, as he bad heard, that Hebrew was the natural language of nil who had never bera^ taught any other tongue. To test this assertion, Akbar caused a dozen.nursing children to be shut up ki a castle, six leagues from Agra, his capital city. Each child was reared by a dumb nurse; the porter also was a mute, nnd he was forbidden, upon pain of death, to 6pen the gates of the castle. When the children were twelve years of age, Akbar ordered them to be brought before him. Men learned In Sanscrit, In Arabic, in Persian and in Hebrew were assem­ bled nt the royal palace to tell what language the. children spoke. Akbar, seated oa his throne aud surrounded by these linguists, ordered the children to be brought In. Each child was ad­ dressed, and, to the surprise of the as­ sembly. every one answered by a sign. Not a child could speak a word. They bad al! learned from their nurses to express themselves by gestures! Usurped Fashion*. "If there is anything I dislike," said one citizen, "it’s to see a man effemin­ ate la his attire.” “It Is unpleasant," was the reply, “and yet abont the only way for him to keep from being so in these days Is to put on petticoats.’’—Life.

This is particularly so on the West and North Side cable ears. The imssengers who have paid for safe accommo­ dations can take their chojce. They <an place their lives entirely at the .‘mercy of good luck or they can walk, and the great majority trust to luck nnd 'ride. They fill the inside of the cars to tiie tuffocating degree of congestion; they rack tbe platforms until the railing groans; they take to the grip enrs, the steps and the running-boards of the grip cars. They cling to one another, and when they pass through the tun­ riels the walls leave whitewash on their sleeves nnd on die backs of their coats. They cilng between the trailers and crawl around for an Insecure, danger­ bus footing In front of the grip cars.

A Cat’* Caprices. Cats are the most obstinately ca­ pricious in their fancies about their bods of any domestic creature. They will follow a particular rug or shawl from room to room. If It be removed, in order to sleep on It. or insist on the use of one chair, until they get their way, and then, for some reason, take a fancy to another. The cleanliest of all animals, anything newly washed or very fresh and bright, strikes them ns just the thing for a bed. A nicely aired newspaper lying on the door or in n chair, or linen fresh from the wash, Is almost Irresistible. Outdoor cats seek a warm us well us a tldv bed. The writer was once much surprised, when passing* through a large ship­ building yard, to see a cat fast asleep, lying, it seemed, on a muddy path. But the spot which the cat had select­ ed for its couch was one at which n hot steam pipe passed under the road, and the mud was there baked Into a warm, dry cake, which made not only n dean but an artificially healed sleep­ ing place. But the oddest taste In beds devel­ oped by a cat was that entertained by a very highly bred gray Angora, which was Justly petted and admired by the family In which it lived. For some months It would only sleep in or upon a bat, if such could be found, ladies* hats being preferred. If it could dis­ cover one with the Inside uppermost, it would He Inside IL If not, such was Its love for this foryi of couch, it would curl itself uround the brim, and with its long, furry tail nnd pliant body made a fine winter trimming to a summer hat. By some accident, a drawer in whl.ch all the "summer" bats hnd been dis posed for the winter was left open for some days, after which It was dis­ covered that all tiie hats had been tried in turn, the cat having finally selected one adorned with white laburnum flowers which never recovered from the "ironing” to which it had been sub­ jected.—The Spectator. Constantinople. There Is the sea all around, and in various shapes—a magnificent port in the Golden Horn—a broad, winding river in the Bosphorus—and, again, with Its islands and capes, and open horizon, the Sea of Marmora, covered with ships of aU sizes, and showing the greatest variety of flags I have ever seen. In its beauty I think I was disappointed; but not iu its grand­ eur. Then, when you get into it, there is still plenty of Oriental life to be seen; there are crowds, partly in a state of the most perfect quiescence and meditative repose, partly in a state of violent action—pushing, jos­ tling. and especially screaming and yelling, with confounding energy; there are veiled women, shoveling and sliding along in their yellow boots; there are turbans, and kalpacs, and fezzes; there Is also the great estate of the dogs, the free and independent dogs, who never get out of the way for man or horse. Tbe Turks have been Europeanized of late, and there Is a stupid mongrel air about these crowds, and, with the exception of some old-fashioned, grave, proud-looking, green and white tur­ bans. who disdain to show their re­ markably ugly legs In tight white pan­ taloons and straps, the Turks look like people who hardly know whether they are standing on their heads or heels, and this, I believe. Is pretty much the case with them. They worn to me like people who are put out of their way and don’t know how to behave themselves, as if SUmbou! was trans­ ported bodily into Regent Street or the Roe de Rivoli, nnd they feel in their own city the sort of awkwardness and soggexlone thnt <hey would feel In the West—Life and Letters of Dean Church. ' _____________ TINY LAMPS. For Use on the Writ Ina Dc*k and Toilet Tabic. ' The very latest notion In lamps is a charming one. The last whim of fash­ ion calls for small lights upon both my lady's dj'sk aud her drcsslDg^abte, and there nre some very fascinating varie­ ties from which to choose, says the Boston Herald. One woman, who ie npt to be a little In advance of most fashions, has both her toilet table and her desk, fitted out already, and she is tbe enry of all her friends. The china chosen for the writing equipment is still the popular Dresden, and wonderfully dainty it Is. The ink well and pen rack ; are combined, and sufficiently roomy to suggest a generous supply of ini; and pens of many sorts. The paper nick Is a gem In its way and really contains a sufficient supply to warrant itj being- The blotter, the stamp box, nnd all the paraphernalia are there, and finishing all are the two Limps which stand always ready to be lighted ami to shed their soft light upon tht page. Tiie various implements of the toilet on the dressing table all show handles and backs of fine china, nnd the two tiny lamps are so placed as to shed a charming light over the whole and tc make the work of selection a delight. The wicks are not large enougli to show any fierce light, nor are these* lights intended as means of illumina­ tion. either. There are others with largre burners and circular draught some­ where around the room, or gas or elec­ tricity is used. The object Is to throw a few extra beams on au especial spot, and to give that final touch of beauty which a well-shaded lamp caa alwayi be trusted to do. New York Journalists— Their Pay, In New York City the salaries nre higher than anywhere else, partly be­ cause of the superior standard of pro­ ficiency, aud partly because the cost of living is greater here than in any other large city. One editor in chief has the same salary as the President of the United States, $50,000 per year. and others receive from $10,000 to $12,000, or more than members of the Cabinet Managing editors are paid from $100 to $150 per week, or better compensa­ tion than that of the Senators and Rep­ resentatives in Congress. Editorial writers got from $30 to $73 per week,as n rule, nnd In cases of rare ability' as much as the average salary of a manag­ ing editor. City editors receive from $30 to $73 per week, and in a few in­ stances $100. The pay of news editors is about equal to thnt of city editors. Literary, theatrical, nnd musical crit­ ics average $50 per week. Copy read­ ers are paid from $40 to $43 per week. Reporters earn all die way from $13 to $00 per week, with an average- of $40, and space writers of particular tal­ ent have been known to make ns much as $125 per week, though the limitation of topics nnd the pressure of competi­ tion usually keep their Incomes down around those of the best-paid report­ ers. There are some writers for syndi­ cates of newspapers, men with names tiiat have a certain value, who earu from $3,000 to $0,000 a year, and there are others of first-class technical capac­ ity in various lines whose salaries oc­ casionally reach $5,000. The pay of all classes of Journalists averages 10 per cent, lower In Brooklyn than in New York City.—The Forum. The City of Pale Fncc*. The viceregal liveries of scarlet nnd gold make a focus of brilliant color amid tho sea of white which surges up and down the broad "Strand" at the sunset hour, when the Europeans, who parody the proud title of Calcutta into "The City of Pnle Faces," crowd along the banks of tlit* river to meet the even­ ing breeze, which rustles the towering palms, and brings fresh life into the sun-scorched city. Bare-headed Babus in flowing muslt»s lean over the rails of tbe sidewalk, and criticise the fashionable throng. Ayahs in gaudy saris and Innumer­ able bangles take their languid charges for tho evening airing. Richly clad na­ tives In gilded palanquins pass swiftly through tbe crowd, preceded by syces, who clear tho way with the long staves which serve ns weapons aud official wands. Hindu nnd Moslem, coolie and Khitmutgnr, soldier and civilian, swell the throng; and, as darkness falls, the palm trees of the Eden gardens stand out clear and sharp in the blue flood of electric light, which bathes tho scene, bringing the romantic East within the focus of Western science—All the Year Round. How tbo Eskimo Count. The Eskimo count their fingers—one, two, three, four, five. Above five and up to ten they use the second hand: thus, six la "tho first Anger of the other band." Above ten they em­ ploy the toes. Thirteen, for Instance, Is “three toes upon the one foot," and eighteen, "three toes on the second foot." Twenty they describe as a "whole man." They seldom go farther than this, but they can do so if neces­ sary. For example, they express twenty-two by saying, "two on tbe second man/’ thirty-seven by "two toes on the second man’s second foot/’ forty is "the whole of a second man." AcordIng to Dr. Nansen they cannot, or at least do not, count beyond one hundred, which is "the whole of the fifth man.” Sir Joshua Reynolds was the Bach­ elor Painter and the Raphael of Eng­ land. ... How to Use Left-Over*. "Economy will always pay; The man who saves Is wise; He who is content with mush to-day ■ Will mine day eat mince pies.” . Every housewife should look in tho bread jar every morning. The whole and half slices of-stale bread may be used for toast, the smaller pieces to l>e toasted with care on a pancake griddle; then put them. Into a vegetable dish nnd pour boiling water over three or four siHJonfuls of butter. When ready to use, pour this over tbe toasted bread. Or if you prefer'milk toast, set the milk over tiie tire, and when hot braid together, one tnblespoauful of flour with four of butter, and stir the milk gradually into this until it thickens, then pour it over the toasted bread. The small pieces aud crumbs can be used for dressing to stuff fowls with, or they may be placed on a tin In a warm oven and dried until a beautiful brown, rolled on a board until fine, and then kept In a box or glass Jar to use In place of cracker crumbs for frying dysters and making croquettes. Be sure to roll them until fine, and do not use the*pastry board .for this pdrpose, as the crumbs will make It rough. Soft bread crumbs are good soaked in milk for griddle cakes, stale bread can be utilized for a pudding. Care should be taken not to use a particle of bread which Is moldy or front a loaf which has molded.—The Household. Convenience in the Kitchen. A handy contrivance for the kitchen sink may easily l»e arranged that will prove Indispensable to the housekeeper who lias once tested its merits. Not every kitchen can be supplied with all modern Improvements and not every ■housekeeper has the means to possess them, but anyone can procure this, and It will pay for Its slight cost lu a short time. Almost all sinks nre too small for convenience, and their proportions can be increased by placing at one end a board of the width of the sink aud about two and one-half feet in length, letting one end rest upon the sink aud the other on a bracket in the wall, or other arrangement that may be con­ venient. Have the end farthest from the sink slightly raised so that all wa­ ter will quickly drain off into tbe sink. Thon have a narrow rim of board fastened around the edges of three sides, and two or three shallow grooves cut Into the shelf so that the water will drain where It is desired instead of running off nt various angles and wetting the floor. As the dishes are washed place them on tills shelf, and when they are done the hot water may l»e quickly poured over them and Im­ mediately drained off. If tbe sink is near the range this shelf may be al­ lowed to extend nearly or quite to ®»e edge of the range, and it will be found convenient for many uses besides the dish washing. Banco with Cold Meat. An excellent sauce to serve with cold meat is made from grated norseradish. the yelk of an egg aud whipped cream. Squeeze every particle of vinegar from three tablespooufuls of the horserad­ ish. nnd mix thoroughly with the yelk of nu egg and a half teaspoonfal of Kilt. Add six tablespoonfnls of whiplied cream and mix again. Serve in a small dish by itself or put on a platter with cold meat or poultry, tirrauging tiie slices about It with a border of parsley. Crisp Slice* of Bacon. The crisp, delicious slices of bacon that are a feature of so many appetiz­ ing dishes may be had by turning each slice every minute over a hot fire iu a pan large enough so that the slices shall, not touch, nnd then as soon as the slices are delicately browned ou both sides lift them froib the pan on a sheet of butcher's coarse wrapping paper and allow the bacon to drain upon It In the oven for another minute. Hint* to Mount keeper*. Children should be taught to drink as little as possible while eating. Fruit Is not to be bitten. It should be peeled nnd cut with n fruit knife. Neverdnim with the fingers upon the table or with the feet upon tbe floor. "Better is a dinner of herbs where love Is than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” Iced oysters or clams are to be eaten with lemon Juice dropped over—never with salt and pepper. No gentleman will ever place hla arms upon the table either before, dur­ ing, or after a meal. Meats are to Im? cut with a slugle gliding movement of the knife, not by converting it into a saw. Never burry the dinner. Let every­ thing come along promptly on time, aud move steadily thereafter. Be punctual. To keep a dinner party waiting under any cireomstances is tiie greatest social indecorum. Keep tbe elbows always elooe to tbe side, uo matter how ample may be the room l»etween the guests. Take soup only from the side of tho spoon—unkra weariag a mustache. Never sip it with au audible sound. If an accident of any'kind should oc­ cur during the dinner do not seem to notice It—unless help may be quietly given. Do not forget that cheerfulness “sug­ gests good health, a ciear .ronactenco and a sonl at peace with all human pature." �TIMELY EAKM TOPICS. MANAGEMENT OF THE. FARM, GARDEN AND STABLE. It changed with every thought, some- | CHAPTER III. The hasty, unequal marriage made no sensation. Few knew anything of Mr. Hurst, except that he waa one of tbe gentlemcn who visited the HalL Tbe beauti­ ful girl who lived in the quite seclusion of Brynmar Woods waa known and admired; no one expressed any surprise at bearing thnt ahe had married a “gentleman from London." • Stapbcn Hdrst married the beautiful, simple country girl, aud took her to Lon­ don. He established her in third-rate ledgings in Pimlico. When fortune fa­ vored him be supplied her liberally with mon«y; when It frowned be contented himself by abusing her. He was not nat­ urally a cruel man; he would never re­ joice in torture for torture’s sake, but he was selfish and egotistical, mean and false. It was some time before she discovered that he had no source of income save what ho derived from gambling and bet­ ting. It was a bitter sorrow to her. She Implored him to try some honest method of living: she offered to work for him, ’but he only laughed at her ideas, and told her when he could afford it he should open a gambling saloon at home. Before long he did so. and then the real torture of her life began for Magdalen Hunt. Stephen Hurst seemed all at once to low his good luck. He never touched a card without losing money; he grew moody and irritable, then desperate, aud in an evil hour he fell Into the lowest depths. He forged the name of a young nobleman who hnd frequently played at his house. The forgery succeedeil, and the sum of money he obtained was a large 1 one; but, as invariably happens, detection followed the crime closely. He was watched, arrested and tried. The gay, dashing Stephen Hurst, who bad purpose­ ly thrown-off all principle, and hated all restraint, found himself now a prisoner for one of those crimes which the law punishes most severely. Then, when the world justly fell upon him, when-good and bad looked alike with abhorrence ui>on him, be learnwl the value of a wife’s love. Magdalen Hurst clung to him still. Others might believe him guilty—he might Ixs condemned nnd punished—it made nef difference to her, he was her kin, though a fallen one. Woman-like, she loved him even more tenderly and truly in his adversity than she hnd done in his prosperity. Others blamed him; she knew how lie had been tempted; she made a hundred excuses for him, even while she deplored his crime. When the day of his trial came men gazed with wonder on the beautiful white face, so full of anguish and despair. Her eyes never left him, and her lips quivered with every word that told against him. When the sentence of ten years’ transportation was given, one long, low cry. never forgotten by th<we who heard it, rang through the court, and Magdalen Hurst fell aa one dead. Five weeks before Stephen I^urwt left England, little Hilda was born; he only saw her once. What there was of n bet­ ter nature in him was touched when his fair young wife laid the little babe in his anus. He half wished he had been a bet­ ter man: but the good impulse vanished almost before he kissed the little face. He mode his wife promise that she would come to him If she could, and she intend­ ed at any cost to keep her word. Magdalen Hurst never knew how the day passed that took her busband away, it was one long dream of unutterable anguish. Awakening from it, she found herself alone in the great city of London —alone, save for her little child. She would not go home, where they would talk continually of tbe man she loved, where every idle word uttered Against him would pierce her loving, faithful heart; so for three years Magdalen re­ mained in the great city working hard to maintain herself and her child. Dur­ ing that time Donald Burns and his wife His* Miss Erakine, who married Lord Hutton, returned with him from abroad, and went to Brynmar. Then Magdalen received a letter from her husband, begging her to go out to him; but she had not the means. She tried to save money, but found it impos­ sible, out of her small earnings. Another year passed, and then Magdalen put aside her pride and went back to Brynmar. She found her foster-sister. Lady Hutton, in the bitterest depths of Borrow; her hus­ band and little child, to whom she was passionately attached, were both drowned by the upsetting of a boat upon tbe lake. She stood upon the bank and saw them die before her eyes, unable to render them the least assistance; she saw her little daughter’s golden head disappear in the cold water; she saw her husband struggle in rain to save himself and his child. Many suns rose and set before I-ody HuUonsaw anything again; and. on the very day that her husband nnd child were brought home to Brynmar to be buried. Magdalen Hurst reached the lit­ tle cottage where her simple, happy child­ hood had bren spent. She waited there many king weeks entil Lady Hutton, waa able to see her: then, taking little Hilda by the hand, she went to the Hail. Sorrow and illness had so completely changed Lady Hutton, that her foster­ sister hardly knew her again. There was but Bttta greeting between them until luidr Hutton’s eye* fell upon the child; then her pale fare grew whiter, and her bands trembled. •Ta that your child. Magdalen 7’ she asked. “Is that Stephen Hum’s daugh­ ter?" , When Magdalen replied that it wns. Lady Hutton led her to her own room, where linng the portrait of a lovely little girl, not unlike the one who gazed upon two fair little fares. Lady Hutton—"money to take you to your hnabiuid: you shall have H—as much ns you like to ask me for—if yon will give me your child. Let her be mine." At first Magdalen Hurst was deaf to all entreaties; she would not hear of it; than the master-passion of her life came into play. He whom she loved bad sent fur her, aud sent again. She yielded at length, nnd consented thnt Lady Hutton should adopt her child. It was a liar! struggle; how hard none knew bur her­ self. . It wai arranged at last to give little Hilda n trial; she was to visit Lady Hut­ ton: If she appeared happy and cuutbnted her mother agreed to leave her there; if not. she would forego the great wish of her heart. But Hilda was quite contest­ ed; she liked her new and pretty dresaca, the grand house, and, above all, tbe state­ ly lady who was so cold to everyone else, and so kind to her; for Lady Hntton loved the child with a love beyond al) words, and when that little golden bead rested on her heart it seemed as though her own Maud was there again. Better, a thousand times, the pattering of little feet than the hushed calm of a house where no child lives; better the musical prattle of a strangfr’s voire than the un­ broken silence; better the clasp ot those tender little arms, the kisses of the sweet, childish lipa, than tiie haunting memories that were never still. , So for three weeks Magdalen Hurst lived alone in her little cottage, and then consented to part with her child. The conditions Lady Hutton made were hard ones, but she would not alter them. Hilda was lo be as her own daughter; ne.ver again waa Magdalen Hurst to claim her, or call Hilda her child; never, let what would happen. Lady Hntton waa liberal in her own way. She did not spare gold, and Mag­ dalen Hurst left England amply provided for, and never saw the face of her foster­ sister again. CHAPTER IV. Ten years passed’by and brought with them great changes to Brynmar. Sir Ralph and I-ady Erskine slept with their ancestors in the family vault. Lady Hut­ ton was sole mistress of the Hall and of the large fortune left by her father. She heard once from Magdalen Hurst; and then a silence, deep and unbroken ns the silence of death, hid the mother of Lady Hutton’s ward from all who had ever known her. The letter waa i brief one, stating that she had found her husband, nnd, in accordance with her promi■«•. never told him to whom she had confided her child. Hilda had been adopted, she said, by a lady who did not wish her name to be known; he seemed quite indifferent about it, hnd asked no questions. Lady Hutton rend correctly enough that a broken heart was revealed in every sad word of that letter. Magdnlen Hurst sent no address; she naked no question*, nnd- Lady Hutton never beard from her again. Day by day Lady Hutton grew fonder of her adopted daughter. Hilda wns taught to call her mamma, and in every way she was treated as her own child. No one knew the girl’s history, and even among the servants only a small number knew thnt she .was I^idy Hutton’s adopted daughter—most people believed her to be the lady’s own child. She was called Miss Hutton, of Brynmar, and it was generally known that she would in­ herit Lady Hutton’s fortune. No question ever came to Hilda as to What she would do with her life, its calm, simple pleasures sufficed, she never looked beyond them; but luidy Hutton was ambitious for her. Dny by day she watched the growth of that wondrous loveliness, and built her hopes upon it. The world she hnd given up nnd cea*«-d to care for should smile upon her ward. She spared no pains over her education, and she rarely allowed her to be long out of her presence. Aa soon as she reacheil her seventeenth year Lady Hutton Intended taking her to London. With her beauty and prospects, lovers in plenty would surround her, and from them Lady Hutton decided she should choose the noblest and the beat, but not one word of these plans did she ever mention to Hilda. “Her heart will be untouched,” thought Lady Hutton; “her fancy will be free. If I use my Influence, she will marry whom I please, and thnt will l>e tho most eligi­ ble man who presents himself. She will be something different from thegeneral run of young ladies. 1 shall have no trouble­ some love affairs with her." With her talents nnd wealth Lady Hut­ ton could do much, but ahe could not con­ trol fate. Once, and once only, had the girl asked any questions about her fkarenta. "Mamma," she said one day to the stately mistress, of Brynmar. “I am not your very own daughter, am I?’ “Who has been talking such nonsense to you, Hilda?’ was the impatient ques­ tion. “Elpsle, your old housekeeper,” replied Hilda. “She says 1 am your adopted daughter, and that I have another mother living away from here." “Elpsle will leave Brynmar if I hear any more gossiping." said I-ady Hutton, haughtily. “Listen to me, Hilda. You are my adopted child; no one else in this world has any claim upon you. I had n little daughter all my own once, and when she was taken from me you sup­ plied her place. You have no friend but myself.” “Lady Hntton,” said the young girl, earnestly, “who wss my mother? Tell me something of her.” Her fsir young fare was pale and wist­ ful. ’•There is nothjsg to tell you, my dear.” replied Lady Hutton; “she was my friend —we were children together—I adopted you; and surely, Hilda, you want no one else save me?” Seeing that tbe very mention of the matter agitated and annoyed Lady Hut­ ton, Hilda never nllnded to it ngnin; and as years jatssed on, and she grew older, the fact that site wns only the adopted daughter of her stately benefactress, grssr mon- vague and indistinct. It was a pleasant life when Hilda reached her sixteenth year, for then Lady Hutton dismissed her governess and mas­ ters. “You must give yourself np to reading now,” ahi- said, “for a few months, and then 1 will take you into what you will think another world.’’ | !

Elixie bad told her on the previous evening that any lady who for nine mornings together bathed her fare in May dew would be beautiful forever. * Hilda 1 resolrod to try-it, aud on this particular day rose almost with the sun. while the dew still lay upon the flow­ era, little dreaming that- on thnt day the tragical story of her life would begin. A golden glow seemed to have fallen over the earth whep Hilda stood on tho hill near Bry nmar woods; the air was full of an indescribable melody and fragrance; the birds sang, the flowers bloomed, tire hawthorn'shone white upon-the hedges; ali was fresh, fair and beautiful. Heav­ en seemed smiling upon the bright face of the earth. There was plenty of dew upon tbe heather; It glistened on the long blades of grass and shone upon the green leaves; aud before long the fair young face w.is bathed in It. Au artist meeting Hlidu then would have sketched her and called his picture “The May Morning." She looked just us fair and bright; tire violet eyrs were clear and lustrous; tbe beautiful face tinged with the loveliest color, and the gulden hair waving over her graceful ijeck and shouldera. “I will walk home through the woods,” thought Hilda. The way waa long and pleasant, and she lingered In the deep shades watching with loving eyes the wild flowers that grew round the tall tr?t*t watching tiro bees, which could never decide whether cowslips, bluebells or primroses were the most delicious and sweet; forgetting, as the warm sunny hours rollid on, that Igidy Hutton would be waiting fur her, and that the time for brenkfast had k>ng passed. While looking at thy Bosvra some pretty fantastic lines she had read crime into her mind: "Aly own bluebell, my pretty bltrebell, . I hare come from the bower where I he roses dwell; , My wings you view of your own bright hue. • And, oh! never , doubt that my heart’s true blue.” “What wordsF’ said the young girl, laughingly, ns she bent over the bluebells, “what words to pu? on a butterfly’s lipa!” Then In her rich, musical voice, she begun to sing them. The swbet voice rose high in the clear morning nlr, until one could have fancied the trees, and flowers, and wind listened in hushed silence. Hilda thought she was quite nlone, ring­ ing. as she gathered the pretty bluebells, but down the broadwood path there came n young and handsome man. He stood for a few minutes silently watching the beautiful gulden-haired girl, doubting whether the figure before him was real. Turning suddenly. Hilda saw him, and a rush of color dyed her fair face crimson. He advanced toward her, holding his hat in his hand and bowing reverentially os though she were a princess. “I beg you to forgive me if I hare nlnrmed you." lie said. “I have lest my way in the woods nnd cannot find the path to the high-road. Will you have the kindness to point it out to me?" “The one to the right.” replied Hilda, raising her eyes to the handsomest and noblest face she had ever seen. Then he should hnre bowed and left her. nnd she rhould bare walked away, fierer once looking behind; but the sun shone nnd the birds sang. They were both young, she Beautiful and fair aa the morning; and instead of leaving her he spoke again. “These nre bonny woods.” he said. “I have not seen fairer in nil Scotland. They belong to the Brynmar estate, I sup­ pose?"' Hilda Iwwcd. She had not recovered her powers of speech. Who was this handsome stranger? Where had he come from? "Y’ou nre taring your bluetalls,” lie said, gallantly. He stooped and, gathering them together again, offered them to her. “Those were pretty wools I heard you singing," he continued; “they are quite new to me. May 1 ask whose they are?” Hilda forgot her shyness then, and told him that she hnd rend them the dny be­ fore, and could not forget them. His eyes were riveted upon her beautiful face, his snra were charmed by the sound of her voice; be could have stood there, he thought, forever. Was ever picture so fair? In tbe soft Sight that fell through the green foliage, her fair face and golden hair shone brightly. He never forgot her aa she stood then, with sby, drooping eyes, nnd the bluebells in her pretty white hands. He lingered until he knew he ought to go. "Will you give me one cf those- flow­ ers?” he said, touching the blpcbells; “just as a little memento of the most pleasant -morning I ever spent, and the most beautiful picture I ever saw—only one; I l»eg yon will not refuse.” Half-smiling, half-coyly. ahe drew out a single flower, and offered it to him. His face flushed aa he took it from her. Other words trembled upon his lips. He longed to tell her how beautiful, how fair nnd modest she was'agd that he could never forget her; he longed to oak her name, whf>re "he dw^t- **>d wliy ahe was alone In the shades of Brynmar woods.

One notable case was reported by Professor Wilder at a meeting of tbe Araociation for the Advancement of Science gome years ago.

Dress It smooth with a plane and bore a bole In each end the narrow way of the board. Pass though the hole a small rope or stout cord nnd tie a hard knot In the end. Put tbe other end through the other bole nnd draw up tbe rope until It Is just long enough to go over tbe bock joint when in position, and then put a knot In that end also. Sew or rivet on n strap on the middle of the rope, as shown lu the illus­ tration. In the middle of tbe board on the flat outside put in a common wood screw aud have a bole in the leather strap large enough to slip over tbe bead of the screw. This completes tbe de­ vice, which is shown In figure 1, and flgure2 shows It ap­ plied to the ani­ mal. Another plan Is to plkce a strap, as shown In the last picture, ^tickle It a little tight, and if she kick then make TIIE STRAP, It u little tighter and you will find s will not bother you any more. Formic Acid for Fowl Brood. Gleanings lu Bee Culture recommends the use of formic acid as an antiseptic in the beehive. This acid Is an excel­ lent antiseptic. Thanks to It, honey preserves Itself for a long time. There has been found In Dresden honey un­ der the eaves of a house*that Is sup posed to date back to tbe fifteenth cen­ tury. This age Is only guess work, aud Is undoubtedly a mistake. Mice or other vermin would destroy honey long before that time. The slangy word "Rats!” appears to apply to such a statement. But formic acid diluted with water and placed in the hives is used in Europe to prevent the growth of foul brood. This formic acid is not taken from fruits or flowers, but Is a natural pro­ duct generated In the. bee. It is also found st ill more plentifully in ants, and the word derives Its name from them. It Is the odor of formic acid which Is given off when cither bees or auts are crushe^. It Is sold to make bees cross to crush any of tlieir number, which Is natural enough, without supposing that the odor of formic acid bas anything to do with It. Clean Water for Poultry. Every |>oultry owner lias realized how difficult It Is to keep the drinking water dean where the fowls can stand on the edge of tbe vessel or roost above It. An ingenious plan for avoiding this difficulty Is shown in the accom­ panying engraving ftvm a sketch in the Orange Judd Farmer. A board bracket Is nailed to a [>ost or to one of the studding timbers, nnd on the un­ der side of it Is horizontally fastened a square piece ot broad board which serves as a shelf to keep the droppings from falling into tbe drinking vessel below. The vessel should be of such a height that the fowl cannot get be­ tween lt.and the shelf so us to roost on the edge of the vessel, itlocks i.iny be placed below it for this purjiosc. At the same time tbe shelf should Is? suf­ ficiently high that the fowl ne.*d only DKVXCK FOR KKXPI.VG WATER CLEAN. to stoop very slightly to drink. This simple contrivance will be found of great service in protecting tbe drinking water which must be given to the fowls in their bouses on stormy or very cold days. Early Fattening of Ilogs. It costs much less to make a pound of pork early than It does late, though if corn alone be fed, too much of It while the weather is warm Is apt to In­ jure digestion. Tbe great advantage of early fattening U that it Is done while there Is usually plenty of waste vegetables, small potatoes, beets and small apples, more or less of which go to tbe pig peu and vary the diet of the fattening hogs. After these are nil stored In the cellar It is very rare that any are taken our, and then fatteulng bogs soon cloy on their ration of corn without anything to make It more easy of digestion. A Good Cow. 'A cow whose milk will make a pound of butter a day, or 850 pounds in a year, is a very good cow. and would yield a profit after paying for liberal feeding. One which yields 800 pounds a year is a good cow and probably a profitable one. and one that yields 250 pounds a year may pay for ter tawping nnd care, but one that doe* tut yield over 200 poumls a year is a poor cow. nnd does not do any more than pay for FLAMES CAUSE OVER SI.OOO.OOQ DAMAGE. her feed st the average prlcea of butter and of feed.

Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder CuntairV no Ammonia or Alum. Judge of Probata. A solicitor for a Detroit printing house struck Niohville a couple of weeks ago and by dint of offering ex­ tremely low prices got a couple of jobs of printing from one of our best custome-.s. Last week the work arrived and was so “rocky" that the Urm promptly fired it back and sent us in a duplicate of the order, without even asklnc our prices. Sometimes our prices are a trifle higher than those of our metropolitan competitors, but it’s a rare thing for a job to comeback on our hands. We do strictly first-class work, and our customers always get the worth of their money. W.E. Buel, has sold his stock of drugs, books, medicines and wall pa­ per to J*C. Furniss, who for several years past has occupied the position of pharmacist at this popular store. Mr. Furniss is a youne man of sterling in­ tegrity and first-class business qualifi­ cations. and is a pharmacist of recog­ nized ability. He is always courteous and affable with customers and that he will make a success of his new ven- ture goes without saying. One of the main reasons for Nashville’s prosperity has been that her business men are principally young, wide-awake and progressive, and it is a well known fact that business comes to the meh who bustle ftr it. Mr. Furniss will step into their ranks at once, and we predict will secure a liberal share of the business In his line. His store Is being cleaned up, papered and painted and when the improvements are com­ pleted it will be one of the neatest business places in the village. - Ex-County Drain Commissioner Geo. A. Dlllenback was in the village yenterday and was drifting around the streets with such a smile of serene sat­ isfaction on his face that The Nbws man tackled him to find out the cause and learned that a decision favorable to him bad been banded down in the circuit court Saturday by Judge Smith In the celebrated Bain drain case, dis­ missing the bill ot complaint. Six days were spent In taking testimony, after which the court went over the ground personally, taking all possible steps to get at the right of the matter. The decision Is a complete vindication of Mr. Dillenbeck’s course in the mat­ ter and a victory for the • defense, which was ably cared for by Hon. Philip T. Colgrove. HAPPILY WEDDED. A very Jolly affair was the wedding of Frank M. Weber, the popular young editor of the Woodland News,' ana Miss Adel Comfort, which occurred at the home of the parents of the bride, Dr. and Mrs. R. P. Comfort, on Main street; on Wednesday evening. There was no shedding of tears and wiping of weeping eyes, but everybody present entered Into the spirit of the occasion ,and gave the young couple such a jovial, merry start on their path through life that they ought to have smooth sailing to the end of their journey. , The ceremony occurred at five o'clock, when Miss Nellie Weber, sis­ ter of the groom, sent out from the organ the Inspiring strains of the wed­ ding march, and the bridal party en­ tered the parlore, first coming Rev. E. E. Branch, pastor of the Baptist church, then the bridesmaid, MlM Nellie Rice, uf Toledo, and the grooms­ man, Arthur Smith, conducted the bride and groom to the east end of the double parlors, where they took their station in front of a huge bank of pot­ ted plants, and were beautifully and appropriately tied together for life by Rev. Mr. Branch, with about sixty in­ timate friends and relatives as wit­ nesses. The ceremony over, the happy pair were overwhelmed with congratula­ tions and good-wishes, after which tables were brought in and the com­ pany sat down to a bounteous wed­ ding supper, which all pronounced, and speedily proceeded to put, “outof sight." The presents were grouped in one of the rooms up »tahs, and it has seldom been our privilege to look over a richer or more recherche collection of wed­ ding gifts, and one of the peculiar things about It was that nunc ot the presents were duplicates. Mr. and Mrs. Weber left about ten o'clock for their new home at Wood­ land, where their bouse was all pre­ pared for them to go to housekeeping, and where they are accompanied by the best wishes of a host of friends. The out-of-town gueste at the cer­ emony were Mr. and Mrs. G. H, CarKnter, Dr. and Mrs. L. E. Benson, r. and Mrs. B. S. Holly, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Shutter, Mr. and Mrs. H. V.

He it was who in 18t>2, on entering upon the office of min­ ister, forced upon an unwilling constitu­ ency the project of milithry reform and the expulsion of Austria, which was achieved at Sadowo.

At 12:30 p. m. the band of the Fourth regi­ ment of foot guards took a position In the garden opposite the'palace and played the “Hallelujah Chorus” from the “Mes­ siah*’ and other popular airs.

One of our dairy exchanges says that when the cow is frightened or Injured she holds back the butter fats In her milk. From this It argues properly In favor of giving the cow kind treatment, and relieving as soon as possible any sores on her teats, which are tbe usual cause of milk being held up. This Is all right, but we doubt whether the cow discriminates to hold back the richer parts of her milk that iu milklug always comes last When the cow is restless and kicks at the milker, she It apt to be left with more or less milk in her udder.

DICYCLES are tS K«ttlng more numerous in Nashville every week and iL seems they not a fa(i’ as a (( / thought a year ao ago, but have come to be a perma­ nent fixture In our everyday life. People wbo used to sneer at them and say they were all right for boys to play with, are getting over that fool­ ishness and are. commencing to see that tbe wheel is a valuable adjunct to t civilization. There has been a groundless antipathy among the rural population against the steel spiders’ webs, but that Is working away too and many farmers and farmers' sons are now purchasing, them, The next decade will see a wonderfully large percentage of our people riding bi­ cycles. ' ‘MRA There is one thing about bicycles, however, that Is decidedly wrong. Not about bicycles, either, but their riders. And that Is rapid riding on the sidewalks, and especially at night. Most of the riders of tne village are careful of tbe rights of pedestrians, but a few of them are not, and. these . few are liable to deprive all of the privilege of riding on the sidewalks. There are a half dozen reckless riders I might nam«, who go bowling along tbe walks at a terrific pace, and won’t turn out dr give au inch of tbe walk to a pedestrian, but act as though they thought tne walks belonged to the wheelmen and the pedestrians must get off the walk or run the risk of getting killed or maimed. This Is all wrong, and it seems to me tbe wheelmen themselves ought to be in­ terested enough In the matter to see that it id stopped. If they won’t do it, then the common council ought to pass an ordinance prohibiting running of bicycles on the walks entirely. There was one of the old fashioned velocipedes in Nashville along in 1867 or 1868. I don’t remember who owned it but almost every man In town used to try to ride It nnd some ludicrous performances resulted. • 1 think it was L. J. Wheeler that 1 saw take a “header” one day while trying to man­ age the thing, and become so hope­ lessly tangled up with the thing that he coaid not extricate himself and the by-standers had to turn in and help him out. It will soon be time fdr wild flowers, the sweet wood violets, more popu­ larly known as “johnny jump-ups," etc., and the less sweet but nw prac­ tical cowslip. I remember when a lad I always tried to bring my school teacher the first bouquet of wild flow­ ers; now I generally figure to get tbe first mess of cowslip greens. That’s the difference between the sweet ro­ mance of youth and the hard, practlcil Realities of later years. to be with you all again, we are toth: to go because of tbe delightful weather and pleasant surroundings we are hav­ ing here. Never before In our exper­[ ience have we seen such wonderful' and. rapid growth a# has taken pl tee' here in the last two weeks. Peaches; that bloomed since the second freeze are now as large aa almonds and larg­ er. I saw a rose bush today that has' branches ever four feet in length grown In four or five weeks. Potatoes are white with bloom and corn is waist high In some places. But ot this, more when I see you In person. I note that “Ruminator" thinks that Nashville is a pretty town and In­ timates that she’s all right, which to my mind Is the proper thing. It calls to mind a letter in the Hastings Ban­ ner not long since written by one of her favorite sons, wherein he heralds to the world that the city treasury is' bankrupt, that the expenses of the city are beyond Its receipts, and in­ creasing, that the rentals of business property have shrunk 25 per cent, in the past five years, and that there is nothing but dark forebodings iu the future. It would seem to some that this might be considered unpatriotic and hardly in line with usual business policy, but the following taken from Detroit papers would lead one to think that others in the aforementioned city bad a poor estimate of its present condition to ssy nothing of Its future, which according to the favorite son is so full of dark forebodings: . Ui Barry rille or Martins’ school house. We shall also be obliged to adviae our farmers to move to Nashville to edu­ cate their sods and daughters, instead of to that "bold l»ad town," whose lax­ es have become a burden, and whose future is so full of dark forebodings.

The Home Salon, in Chicago, Crowded Every Day, .and the Temperance - Drink Ik Growing in Popular Favor —Other* to Be Katablishcd. Bishop Fallow** Belief.

It has an average dally attendance of 2,400. and the bishop himself Is frequently on baud •erring foaming glasses of bcer and dettliug out hash, kidney stew, pork nnd beans as well. But the beer is not the genuine article. It contains no alcohol, although In appearance aud taste it is a <•!<....... ount.-rfeit'of the standard lager. Patrons of tile place like the beverage and enjoy n delicious drink without incurring any of the unpicas- nlSHOl* FALLOWS. ant effects attendatit on au over-indul­ gence in lager. Bishop Fallows believes men do not drink l)eer—that Is. the majority do uot —for tfie alcohol that is tn It, nor for the tipsiness over-indulgence induces. He maintains that they drink it as a bewr* age simply, and that tbe drunkenness is iu most cases the result ot uninten­ tional excess. He believes, too, that many slaves of drink have been made through their first indulgence in what nt the time they thought was a harm­ less beverage, but that the alcohol in it. awakening an appetite dormant iu many and only becoming active as It was foil, dually saturated the victim and reduced him to the pitiable condi­ tion of the habitual drunkard. Acting on this belief Bishop Fallows, waiters tear off the coupons. Na drink costs more than five cento, and a meal that would satisfy a Gnrgantua Is ob­ tainable for 10 cents. There Is no limit to the amount one may cat lot H> cents. The food is cooked, by exprrlencsd chefs and is bought by Bishop Fallows him­ self, who attends to all the business affairs otthe establishment. On tbe left side of the basement as one enters is the brilliantly lighted bar. glistening with the usual glassware and bottles nnd decanters exactly similar to those used In saloons and tilled with many-colored liquids, nil non-afcahdlle.

Speaking of the success of tho "Home Salon" Bishop Fallows says that bls beer is a wonderful success and that a brewery is now upeded to supply the demand. A remarkably funny incident oc­ curred on the opening day when 4,(*X> jM>rsons visited the place. The beer ran out at 2 o'clock and a pructicnl joker whispered to Bishop Fallows that welss N-er was just as free of nlcobul as was his beerette, and suggested that a sup­ ply of that be obtained. The sugges­ tion was acted upon, nnd several dozen cases hurriedly bought.

EASTER CUSTOMS. Easter week is a time of general re­ joicing to Paris: everybody presents ev­ eryone else with a little present emblem­ atical of an egg. French ingenuity ex­ hausts itself in the manufacture of egg­ shaped articles of all conceivable fornls and materials. Go where you will, you see eggs and their nests. The shops are full of egg-shaped boxes, the receptacles •of candy, jewelry or toys. Here you have chocolate eggs full of cream where the yelk should be, and again, ivory eggs within which is a scent bottle. Women are wheeling barrows on which are piled in separate heaps white nnd colored eggs. Some of the nests are beautiful works of art Here is a stoat or weasel stealthily climbing up a tree’to suck the-eggs, while the parent bird is represented with her feathers ruffled in a threatening attitude, to drive awny tho Intruder. Here, again, a cuckoo—a Eurojwan cuckoo, our Amferican bird is above such tricks—has turned out a little chaffinch egg which' lies brok­ en on the ground below, while she left her own for a foster parent to hatch. In former days eggs were exchanged ns an avowal of sentiment, much as valentines have been in our own'day and generation, writes J. Carter Beard in Demorest’s, and were painted and gilded and set in gold, and ofttimes brought groat prices. Eggs, hard-boiled and colored, were much used by boys to play ball with, nnd it is said the clergy did not disdain to indulge In tbe game. According to nn old chron­ icler. it even formed a part of the church service. There nre records of ninny curi­ ous Enster customs. In Russia, every female, even a princess, must submit to be kissed by the lowest boor who presents her with an egg; but in some parts of England a still more curious, and, if pos­ sible, more senseless, custom prevails. A chair, gayly decked with ribbons and ar­ tificial flowers, is placed in front of some inn or bouse of public resort, upon the •eat of which Is a raw egg. The chair is attended by a number of gayly dressed damsels, who seize upon any man pass­ ing, and, despite his kicking and struggles, sent him in the chair, from which he is not allowed to escape until he is kissed by all the attendant graces. On Easter day, on the western slope of the Alps, a hundred eggs are distributed over a level space covered with-aand, and a young man and woman execute a dance of the country among the eggs. It is the un­ written law of the locality that if they succeed in completing the “branle" with­ out breaking a single egg. they become affianced, with or without the consent of parents or guardians. Here in America we are learning to observe more habitual­ ly and affectionately the holidays of thu Christian Church; the stern spirit of Puri­ tanism, instead of prohibiting their ob­ servance altogether, now prefers to instil into their celebration a purer aud more refined spirit, substituting for th<f coarse, rough, and sometimes profane customs of former times, those ‘more fitted to ex­ press quiet and reverent remembrance of the import of such days, and to cherish charity and affection for all men.—Wav­ erly Magazine. regions of existence and comes thnt great seats?" “There ain’t no free seats in this now which embraces all of heroism, of good, of fellowship, of soulful union, and church," sneered the man. ihe WDiuun hurried ouL She put her of life.

Why not convert the two upper­ most stars of yonder Dipper Into the hands of a clock? It Is 9 o’clock, and they are hanging in a nearly horizontal position, pointing almost due east to the north star, and elevated <mly a lit­ tle more than the star from tbe horizon. at any botir when the weary, restless patient wants to know tbe time? It is a question to be wrought out mathe­ matically or rather dlagramatlcnlly. Before proceeding with the construc­ tion of tbe celestial dial, however, It will be best to aay a few words about the interior roechantam of the clock for tbe Instruction of the unlearned. 'Why does the Dipper always describe a cir­ cle around the north star, never Kinking below the horizon? Look at the follow­ ing picture of tbe earth, the north star and the Dipper, and the subject will be perfectly plain. Were the s|»ectatoni located at the North Pole tbe north *tar would be di­ rectly overhead. Were the spectator at the equator It would be seen at the horizon. When seen from these lati­ tudes It follows that it Is as we see It on any starry night. The Dipper is so near tbe unchanging north star that In these latitudes It never ri*es or seta like respectable stars, but veeps up fts perpetiml dance around IL Further south It rise* and sets, for tbejiorth star sinks and the Dipper sinks with It. but with us It is compelled to take part in a perpetual masquerade.

DE­ New School of Artist* That la Makins anlmprcaalonon thePabllc—Grcuta­ mer and Hla Imitator* — Motika at Work and at Play. All Fat and Funny. No Utile Interest baa lately been aroused In the study of the system of monasticism, which prevailed to a very considerable extent over moat parts of Europe for several hundred years. Tills Interest has been shown by a number of historical works on the subject. which hare appeared during the last few months, giving sketches of the rise and decline of the system, together with exceedingly interesting descrip­ tions of what may l>e called the home life of the monks. By means of these data we are able to learn much of the manner In which great monasteries grew from humble beginnings; how large companies of ascetics were gath­ ered together by talented and influen­ tial ecclesiastics, and how many socie­ ties increased, sent out branches and finally grew to such proportions that they numbered their colony houses by hundreds and the members of their or­ der by thousands. The Interest allud­ ed to is even more distinctly shown by tlie attention given to monks and mon­ astic life by some of the most talented artists of the present day, who, from the pen pictures left by writers of a bygone day, have reconstructed the mon­ asteries, and on canvas have reproduc­ ed for our edification the daily life of their tenants.* The reason for this interest, as at present manifested. Is probably to be found in a better appreciation of the work done by the monastic establish­ ments of the Middle Ages. For a long time the prejudices of writers pro and con. in favor of and against the sys­ tem, confused the popular mind and left it uncertain whether or not the monas­ teries had been a good. Some classes were powerfully prejudiced agnlnst them, believing them to have been hot­ beds of rice, sinks of moral depravity, while othera were Just ns strongly bias­ ed in their favor and traced all the good TUB MOXASTEUV KITCHES.—OflTZXKK. of modem times by one course or an­ other back to the monastic establish­ ments of mediaeval days. The truth, as in all eases of this kind, is probably to be found on a middle ground. It Is probable that many monastic estab­ lishments degenerated from the sim­ plicity of their founders, that Increas­ ing wealth Induced luxurious living. end, possibly, also in some cases depra­ vation of manners, but. on the other hand, it should Dot be forgotten that to the monastic establishments Is due most of the good which existed dur­ ing a time when the civilized world was continually at war. For a thou­ sand years monasteries were the only schools, and youth who sought to ob­ tain even the rudiments of education were forced to learn them In a monas­ tery. During those days only two pro­ fessions were open to the aspiring youth, the Church and the army. A young man of noble birth who desired to make something of himself in the world was obliged either to take the training of a soldier or to enter the Church. Tbs Church and the army were therefore both distinguished by the presence of many able men, who. In one way or another, made their mark upon the age in which they lived. But not a few of thorn* who sought both professions were actuated by Dir higher motive than the iota* of plunder or the hope of ease. The adventurous sought the field, the unassuming and seriously inclined sought the doister. The monasteries offered the only re­ fuge that age could expect, the only assistance that jioverty could claim. Many monasteries bad the right of asy­ lum. and a fugitive, or even a criminal, within .their-,walls was safe from his pursuers. The monasteries were the only Industrial schools; In them were practiced all the arts, nil the sciences known to the time; in them were kept and copied the only works of ancient tending to the day's duties, the mem­ bers of a religious order naturally felt easy In their minds; as a general thing, good humor prevailed In a convent, and the worthy brethren, having plen­ ty to eat and drink and plenty of time for digestion, naturally grew fat. Fat men are not always good-humor­ ed; good-humored men are not always fat; but in some mysterious way there is a connection between good humor and adipose tissue, and the common belief In tills connection cannot better tie expressed than by the old proverb which Inculcates the duty of ‘Tough­ ing and growing fat.” The monks of those orders which were not so rigid in their rules broadened their gowns to lit their widening frames, and lengthened the rope girdle that they wore, and more and more of the com­ munities* good fare was dally depos­ ited beneath their ample waists. On feast days they lived like princes; on fast days they ate fish Qnd vegetables, and under sucli circumstances fasting could be made very tolerable. The stern asceticism of the Trappist, while In one sense a proper art subject, is hardly suitable for popular use, for the rigid life practiced by the'inost ab­ stemious monastic orders does not con-, tain for the popular eye that attrac­ tion which pleases. 'The life of the ascetic may have its picturesque phases to the eye of the artist, but pictures of Trappist devotion are very unlikely to take the popular fancy, for In art, as in literature, few are serious, and be who amuses is more likely to touch the pop­ ular fancy, than he who alms to In­ struct As a rule the artists of the pres­ ent day who have sought their subjects In the monastic life of bygone times have- preferred the gentler aspects of religion, and their pictures show us what may Im? called the comical phases of monastic life.

THE PRESIDENT URGED TO CON­ VENE CONGRESS. People Arc Confused Over the Supreme Court I>cci«ion—Treasury Officials Will Be Surprised If the Whole Community Does Not Dodge the Tok. Unjust to Business Men. Washington correspondence: . The President is being importuned, per­ sonally by men of highest influence in public affairs ami avalanched with weighty letters and telegrams urging him to convene Congress in apodal session for tho repeal or correction of the in<*omc tax law. These appeals are grounded on theftbroad proposition that the law in its present emasculated shape discriminates with brutal Injustice against the'mercantlle, manufacturing and bustling business, interests in general and in favor of the coupon dippers and heavy owners of real estate, who were especially aimed* at. They contend that the law ns it now stands is so rankly and cruelly wrong that common justice requires either its immediate repeal or its amendment in some form that will reach the rich classes who are exempted from the payment of their share of the taxes. How the Presi­ dent will act’in the premises cannot be stated. He has permitted the statement to bo made with authority that he would not call an extra session if the Supreme Court annulled the act, but that was to quiet the fears that the Government might not have enough money to get through the calendar year if deprived of the revenue from the income tax. The situation as it is now presented to him is an altogether different one. It is not now a question of revenue, but one of grave injustice to hundreds of thousands of men, who represent substantially all there Is to the business push. Energy and brain of the country. This is a phase of literature that have come down to our the question he had not previously taken into consideration, and.there is no telling dny.

SUPREME COURT MANGLES THS INCOME STATUTE. in fighting an a ridgv and a new light came uj<on the lovely CHAPTER VII. Continued-. season opened brilliantly. ~ Miss The neason Earle, the nleee of the Countess of Bayne­ ham, was much admired. But what puzrlrd both ladles was that Claude took little or no interest in any of the gayctles that surrounded them. Ixjrd Bayneham yas fortunate in one thing—he met in London his oldest and dearest college friend, Bertie Carlyon. the second son of Sir Hubert Carlyon, of Durham Park, one of the kindliest and noblest of men, unfortunate, as he him­ self declared, in everything, love nnd finance above all other things: but so kind, so genial, so true, no one could help loving him. Bertie had his secret, too; from the first moment he saw Barbara Earle he loved her. He seemed almost by instinct to understand the woman’s grand, noble soul. He never mentioned his love; of what avail could It have been, when the girl who had so unconsciously won ' his heart was the affianced wife of bis best friend? So Bertie Carlyon, as mnny another man before him bad done, shut up his love in the silence nnd Secrecy of his own heart. He avoided seeing Barbara as much as possible, but he was a great fav­ orite with the stately countess. She ad­ mired him and encouraged bis visits to the house. So it happened that not one day passed without bringing Bertie Car­ lyon to Grosvenor Square. , “1 hear wonders of a young Indy who is to bo presented at the next drawing room,” said Bertie Carlyon one day to the countemt. “Who Is it?" asked Lady Bayneham. “I can give your ladyship every infor­ mation,” replied Mr. Carlyon. “We joicing. She is to be presented by latdy Hutton, the daughter and heiress of the late Sir Ralph Erskine, of Brynmar. The young lady is very beautiful, nnd, if ru­ mor speaks truly, her adopted child. She is called Lady Hutton's ward." CHAPTER VIII. The drawing room was a brilliant one. Ixidy Hutton’s want was greatly admired. No such beautiful girl had been seen fur some time; it was a new style, every one declared; there was something so fresh aud fair, ao innocent nnd graceful about her. Even the brillktut Countess of Bayneham was pleased. “She is perfect In her way,” said that lady to hf-r niece, "but her face is not de­ veloped; and unless I am greatly mistak­ en, it will attain much rarer beauty Lady Morton, the wife of one of the leading ministers, gave a grand l>all on the evening of the day on which the draw­ ing room wna held. Lord Bayneham, with his mother and( cousin, was to be present. It was arranged for Bertie Carlyon to dine at Grosvenor Square and ac­ company them to Lady Morton’s. They were late, the rooms were full, and everyone secnied to be talking about the same thing, the delicate beauty and rare grace of l^idy Hutton’s ward. “Claude," said Bertie to Lord Bayne­ ham. “you must procure an introduction to Miss Hutton, the new beauty. I-et us go Into' the ball room;-she is dancing, I think, with Sir Harry Poyutz; I want you to see her." The young earl had not paid much at­ tention to what bis friend was saying; all beauties wore indifferent alike to him. They went through the long suite of bril­ liantly crowded rooms. At the furthest end of one stood n young girl in earnest conversation with an elderly gentleman, tho celebrated painter whose pictures had taken the world by storm. His eyes, ex­ pressive of deep admiration, were bent upon her. She was well worthy of the artist’s praise. It is so seldom that in a London drawing room a face so pure and lovely can be seen, a face on which the world did not ikJin to have breathed, calm and unruffled In its sweet innocence and childlike grace; violet eyes, so clear and pure and full of truth; bright, shin­ ing golden hair, that fell in rich waves over her shoulders, white and shapely; a slender, graceful figure, full of dignity; round, white arms, perfect in color and contour. She wore a dress of costly white lace, and a suite of pearls that a princess might envy. “See," said Bertie Carly on, quietly, “that is Miss Hutton. What do you think of her. Claude?" Lord Bayneham made no reply. His face became white, and bis dark eyes grew darker still. The beautiful girl before him was the ons who bad haunted him day and night since he had met her on that May morning in the woods at Brynmar. . “What do you think of her?" asked Ber­ tie, impatiently. “I have seen her before," replied Lord Bnyneham. in a low, constrained voice; “she is very beautiful." Bertie Carlyon looked wondcriugly at his friend’s face. “I must have an introduction to her." •aid Claude. Just at that moment they saw tbo Countess of Bayneham conversing with Claude dared not trust himself to sjicafc. A whole torrent of buraiug wonk rose to his-lips, but be would•!aot utter them. After some minutes he raid gvutly: “I do not think it very jawMible for anyone to forget you, Miss Hutton. Tell me Imw Bryn mar woods are looking. Are they bonny a* ever?” “I was sorry to leave them," she re­ plied. ■ “I would rather be there than in London; here it seems to me all gaslight" "Dfd you never find it dull at Brynmar?" ho naked, smiling at her naive simplicity. . “No,” she replied, looking pt film in sheer wonder; “never; sometimes I feel dull In London. It is like n new world It was also like a new world to Lord Bayneham; he forgot everything except that he bad found her again; that he was looking at her radiant face, listening to her voice, watching tha blushes that came and went with almost every word. He offered her his arm almost mechanically; she took it, and they wandered through the rooms, forgetful of everything In the wide world except each other. Miss Hutton had promised Cgptain Massey the next dance, but she never re­ membered It until It was ended, aud the gallant captain, looking very much hurt and annoyed, stood before her. Then a sense of her broken promise came over her. “I have.been looking everywhere for you. Miss Hutton," said th« captain. “You had promised me this dance.” . She apologized so sweetly and graceful­ ly that Captain Massey could not be an­ gry, nnd Lord Bayneham felt something like a thrill of guilty satisfaction that she had forgotten somronc else to talk to him. They passed on quickly, but on enter­ ing the room that seemed to bo reserved for conversation and flirtation, they met Barbara Earle and luidy Bayneham. Claude never looked at his cousin’s face, ar he would have seen ufiou it first an expression of unqualified surprise, then a wistful look of something like despair. In the excitement of his happiness be forgot that Barbara had seen the treas­ ured picture, and would recognize his companion’s beautiful face. Lady Bayneham spoke to Miss Hutton, and then introduced Barbara Eurle to her. Barbarfi said some few courteous words, but the very tone of her voice seemed changed as she did so. ' Ah,'this was his secret. He had seen Miss Hutton before; and her face bad charmed him so much that be had painted it. How every feature .•bus: have dwelt in his memory! Where and how could he have met her? She was very lovely, and a sharp pang shot through Barbara’s heart as she noted the grace and perfec-. tion of that delicate beauty; but a still sharper pain struck her as she saw her cousin’s changed face; nnd it hail never lighted up so for her. lie had never looked at her as he did nt Miss Hutton, and she was his promised wife. Just then another gentleman came to claim Miss Hutton’s hand, and Barbara Earle was left with Lord Bayneham. He seemed to awake from a bewildering drcam. His eyes followed every move­ ment of her figure. He watched her un­ til she hod passed from his sight, then he turned with n profound sigh tu Bar­ bara. His short, bright dream was end­ ed. The plnin, cold, hard reality was be­ fore him; of what avail, if he had found her again? What could it matter? What if she had given him her sweetest smiles nnd kindest words? What if she had re­ membered him as vividly and as truly as he had thought of her? It was all of no avail. He belonged to another. His promised wife stood lucre before him, looking with sad, wistful eyes in his face. “Claude,” she said gently, “you hare met Mias Hutton before to-night, have you not?" “Only onee," be replied; then there flashed across him the remembrance of that picture which Barbara Earle bad seen and admired. He grew confused and embarrassed; she looked on quietly and calmly. “I saw her under such pe­ culiar circumstances,’’ he added, feeling that some explanation was due, “in such a picturesque spot, and with such beauti­ ful surroundings, that I made a little sketch of the scene. You saw It, Bar­ “Yca, I saw it," she replied; “and it was a good painting. How well you re­ membered the face, Claude, if you only Barbara could not help that little bit of malice. “It la not easily forgotten,” he replied, coldly. "Are you engaged, Barbara, for this next waits—may I have”the pleas­ ure T’ Not one word more did the cousins ex­ change on the subject. Later on that evening Barbara Earle sought Miss Hutton. She wanted to see more of her, to know what was hidden under that lovely face; and she found her by Lady Hutton’s side. "Have you seen those rare japonicos. Miss Hutton?" she naked, “they are in the long drawing room; Lady Morton is very proud of them. If you are fond of flowers they will please you.” “I like flowers almost lietter than any­ thing else in the world," replied .Hilda; “they have been my companions at Bryn­ mar. I shall be so glad to see them." "You-are not uulike one yourself,” thought Barbara Earle. “I wonder what it is you like better." The two girls walked down the ball room together. They readied the stand toward them. His mother introduced him on which the japonicos were placed, and Hilda bent her beautiful face over them. to Lady Hutton, who was more gracioas than nsual to the handsome young man soy and Mr. Seaton were at the other who saluted her so reverentially. end.

It had never been mentioned in her preacnev, and she wondercfl. until wonder became pain, why he did not call upuu her or try to see her. She had never forgotten him; that one morning had colored her life; she had re­ membered him, thought of him, dreamed of Jjim. nnd loved him, but she bad never hoped to meet him again. When he sud­ denly stood liefore her that night at Lady Morton’s ball her heart almost stood still. Then ho had spoken to her, and gazed ao long and earnestly upon her, had seemed so utterly and entirely happy, that she thought he cared n great deal for her. And now It was four weeks since, nnd he had never once sought her. Hilda could not understand.* Every morning she nwoke hoping she should see him during the day, nnd every day brought it* own bitter disapi>c>nt ment. * In the meantime, as Lady Hutton had foreseen, lovers in plenty surrounded the beautiful young heiress. There was no one mon? |>opular or more admired. “Tho beautiful Miss Huttoq” was declared to bo the belie of the season; but flattery, homage and admiration brought no pleas­ ure to her. She Would have exchanged all for one wore! from Lord Bnyneham. There was a grand fete ut the Botanical Gardens, and Miss Enrle wished to go. It was arranged that Lord Bnyneham should escort both ladies. It was a beau­ tiful day in the beginning of June. The sky was cloudless, the air raft and balmy. The gardens were magnificent, the flow­ ers in full perfection, the show of ruses was superb, aud crowds of splendidly dressed ladles surrounded them. As Lord Bnynehnm walked slowly down one of the more retired paths, following Barbara nnd ’the countess ut a little dis­ tance, the whole party suddenly met Lady Hutton and Hilda. They were surround­ ed by quite a little court of admirers. Captain Massey, hopelessly in love, and Mr. Seaton, who never neglected nn op­ portunity of studying Hilda’s face. There was a murmur of polite greeting, a dis­ persion of the group of admirers; then Lord Bnyneham found himself. In* hardly knew how, by Hilda's side. His heart beat almost painfully; he spoke a few words, nnd those without looking at her. The path wn* narrow, and the countess said, half impatiently: "We cannot all remain together. I am going to see the roses. Claude, you wanted to look nt the geraniums: they are over there. Per­ haps Miss Hutton would like to see them." In less than three minutes after her ladyship's little speech, Barbara Enrle found herself with Captain Massey. The’ two elder ladies enjoyed n half coufidentin! chat over the roses, and lx,rd Bayne1mm nnd Hilda were left behind with the geraniums. She bent over thenK but he made no pretense of even looking at a flower. His lips grew white, nnd he would have flown from the danger, but could not “Are you not well. Lord Bayueham?” asked Hilda, looking up into his still face. “Yes," be replied; “I am quite well." Then a dreary silence fell upon them} all kinds of wild thoughts rushed through Hilda’s mind. She tried to think if it were possible she could have offended him. Was this stern, silent man tbo same who had lingered by her side in Brynmar woods, and seemed to live in her smiles on the night of the ball? What could have brought about so great a change? , “Shall we follow Lady Hutton?" she said, at length. He bowed assent; but, as good or bad fortune would have it. they took the wrong turning. and instead of rejoining 'their companions, found themselves quite alone in a broad, shady path. (To be continued.) The Eccentric Borrow. On one occasion Borrow was at a din­ ner party in company with Whewell— lioth of them powerful men. and both of them. If report be true, having more than a superficial knowledge of the art of self-defense. A con|ruversy began, nnd waxed so warm that Mrs. Whe­ well, believing a personal encounter to be Imminent, fainted, apd !md to be carried out of the room. Once when Borrow was dining with _my father, be disappeared into a small back room after dinner, and cguld not be found. At last he was discovered by a lady member of the family stretched on a sofa and groaning. Tin being spok­ en nnd asked to join the other guests, he suddenly said: “Go away! go away! I am not fit company for respectable people." There was no apparent cause for this strange conduct, unless it were dqe to one of those unaccountable fits to which men of genius (and this de­ scription will be allowed him by many) nre often subject. On another occasion, when dining with my father at Wimbledon, he was regaled with a “hnggis," a dish which was new to him. and of which he par­ took to an extent which would have as­ tonished many a hardy Scotchman. One summer’s day, several years later, he again came to dinner, ami having come on foot a»d entered the house by a gar­ den door, his first words—without any previous greetings—were: “Is there a haggis to-day?”—John Murray, in Good Words.

Hillsdale; I* L. Church, Howard City, nnd J. M. WhalIon. Fitchburg, appointed to-locate the siilH'rintcnd the const ruction of the Michi­ gan .monuments in the Chickamauga, Chattanooga aud Missionary Ridge mili­ tary park, hue just awarded the contracts far the monuments, specifying that they There will be eleven of the monuments, nine of them for regiments, costing $1,500 each, and the other two for batteries of artillery, costing $1,000 each. Four of the monuments, for the Michigan .Engi­ neers and Mechanics, the Tenth, Twenty.first and Twenty-second infantry, respec­ tively, were awarded to Morris J. Powen to the Smith Granite Company, of Westerly, IL I. The material used will be white granite, from the same quarry ns the granite for the Grant monument, nnd bronze. Upon each will be inscribed the name of the regiment and of its com­ mander and the name of the brigade, corps aud division to which the regiment belonged. Upon each, also, will be the State coat of arms in bronze and a bronze plate upon which will be inscribed briefly the history of the regiment. In these re­ spects the monuments will be all alike. The monument to the Engineers and Mechanics will be 14 feet wide, 2V£ feet deep and 11 feet high. The hose will rise to the height of 3 feet,‘and in the die will be a bronze plate 8.1 by 4.9 feet, upon which will be a view of Brown’s Ferry, where the regiment laid the first pontoon bridge, with the }>ortraits of the men ac­ tually engaged in the service. The mon­ ument will be located near the ferry, over­ looking the river. The Thirtieth infantry monument will show a private soldier, life-size, carved in granite, in the act of shooting over a wall. The base will be 6 feet wide by 33 deep nnd the height will be 7 feet 10 inches. It will be located near the Vine­ yard bouse, on the Ijifayctte road, the scene of its hardest fighting. Ocncral Parkhurst to Be Honored. The Ninth infantry monument will be a life-size statue of General J. G. Park­ hurst, of Coldwater, in dark granite, on a base of rough cut white granite 5 feet square nnd 6 feet In height If General Parkhurst shall object to the use of his figure in this connection some ideal sol­ dier will be substituted. The monument will be located at the gateway of the IMtrk. on the north aide, toward Chatta­ nooga. The road runs through n ravine, nnd on the high ground on one side, over­ looking the place where the right wing of the army was broken, will be the mon­ ument. The Twenty-first's monument will be’on irregular mnsa of granite, with a base 0.6 feet wide and n total height of 15 feet. The granite will- lie surmounted by an eagle designed by Bowers—3 feet in height, of bronze. On one face will be a cluster of guns, caps, canteens, haver­ sacks and other implements of war in bronze, and below thia the plate with the regimental history. The monument will be plareil in front' and to the left of the Bloody Pond, where 104 of the regi­ ment fell, and where Colonel McCreary was wounded gnd captured. The monument to the Twenty-second infantry in general design will be like the Engineers nnd Mechanics'. The bronze plate will show a battle acene. The regi­ ment was In the reserve division, covering the roads to Chattanooga. The battle to the right had been raging for hours with disaster all along the line, when the re­ serve, under a hot sun, was sent on a double quick nearly a mile, some of the way under fire, and arrived at General Thomas’ headquarters at a most critical time. Swinging into line with cheers, they charged up tho face of a steep hill and drove the enemy down the other side. The enemy rallied, and. re-enforced by Ixmgstrect's veterans, returned to the fight, but the gallant Michigan men ma In­ will be In dark granite and .will rest <m a base of polished white granite. It will be placed near Snodgrass Hhl. The Second cavalry monum<*nt*wUl l>e 'G.G f«.-t wide nnd 9.6 feet high, and will be located near the’Glass Mill rood on a rocky plateau, marking the extreme righi of the field. The Fourth cavalry monument will be 11 feet at the base, 7 feet high, with a round cut arched top, nnd on the face will be a bronze plate 7 by 5 feet, upon which will be pictured a platoou of cav­ alry at Heeds bridge, firing across the riverwat the enemy. The monument will be placed dear the bridge, the .scene of its hardest fighting, nnd near where the first men were killed In the battle. The monument to Battery A will be 10 feet high, and will bear a bronze plate 5 by 8.3 feet picturing the death of Lieut. Van Pelt while defending his gnus against two rebels. The monument will be locat­ ed on the spot where the battery made its Inst stand. Battery D monument will have-a base 6.6 feet square, tapering upward to the height of 9.G feet, with bronze cannon balls at the top. It will be located near the Poe bouse. Both batteries met disas­ ter at Chickamauga. ca<;h losing all but mnny men. One of the rescued guns Is now at Coldwater and will be used as a mode! in picturing Van Pelt’s death. Dedication to Be Well Attended. In the battle of Chickamauga Michigan lost about 600 men. nnd the loss in the engagements which immediately followed amounted to 700 more. In the cemetery at Chattanooga rest 1,000 Michigan men, and the monuments to be erected on the battlefield will mark the scene of some of the fiercest fighting nnd deeds of greatest gallantry in that historic and bloody en­ gagement. The Michigan monuments will be dedicated by the State on Sept. 19, the anniversary of the first day of the fighting, and the Government will dedi­ cate the day following. Thousands of Michigan veterans and citizens will at­ tend, including Governor Rich nnd his staff, and probably several companies of the State troops. Captain Cdiarlea E. Belknap, president of the commission, is a veteran of the Twenty-first infantry, find for two years he has been making a study of the battle, and especially the |>art taken in it by the Michigan troops. He hns uoarly com­ pleted a book covering tho subject, and when this is published, as It will lw> prob­ ably the coming summer, it will be nn im­ , portant and exceedingly interesting .addi­ tion to Michigan’s war history. Captain Belknnp has accumulated a vast quantity Vast Changes Decreed. A special dispatch from WasbiDgtMl says that the United State* Supremo Court in the income tax cas« bl* reversed tho decision of the lower court. 'The income tax law as a whole is upheld, but only by a divided court. Two important portions of the law. however, have been decided to be unconstitutional, and they, are so serious as to affect materially not only the revenues of the Govtrnmmt, but the estimation in which the income tax will be held by the people. Under tbexteciaion, as reported, ail incomes denyed. from rents are exempted from taxation by the Federal Government and all in­ comes derived from State nnd municipal bonds nre similarly exempted. In other respects the income tax stands as it was passed last August, but the result of thn consultations in the Supreme Court shows very conclusively that the law can easily be picked to pieces, provided suits ar* brought to contest each particular point as it comes up. . It is a curious fact, but none the less true, that the law which was passed at the dictation of the Populism has been distorted by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in such a way that it will absolutely protect the class of capi­ talists moat offensive to the Populistic clement. The landlords of the country will pay no Income tax. The owners of bonds of almost any kind, either Federal. State, county or municipal, will also be free, while the business man, the manu­ facturer and the salaried employe will, for the present at least, be compelled to contribute to the treasury of the United States Government 2 per cent, of all in­ comes In excess of $4,000 per annum. The decision of the Supreme Court is a matter of deep annoyance. Collection of the tax hns begun; the Government budget was made out with regard to tho $30,000,000 or $40,000,000 expected to b* derived from tills source. The exemption of great fortunes and great estates, the sweeping away of o large part of the ex­ pected revenues, is bound to create a situ­ ation in the treasury that will be embar­ rassing. to say the least. Further causa for dissatisfaction will be given to persons who think they see a menace to the rights of the people in the frequent intcrferenc* of Federal courts in legislative concerns. It is said that one learned justice even attempted to •‘legislate” building associa­ tions into the act. The first meeting of the Supreme Court was held March 16, two days after ths conclusion of the argument, but no de­ cision was reached, and it was not until March 30 that they succeeded in agreeing upon the outlines of a decision covering the opinion of the lower court. The court was evenly divided. Justice Jack­ son was too ill to take part. Chief Jus­ tice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray and Brewer were opposed to the law. Justices Harlan, Brown. Shiras and White voted to sustain the law. FREE PEWS of detail from the actual participants in the battle, much of it never before given to the world. Bev. Washington Gardner, Secretary of State, issued bulletin No; 4, giving figures upon the live stock interests of the State which are taken from the cen­ sus of last June. The number of horses in the State at the time the census was taken was 663,362, nearly 82 per cent of which were over three years of age. The number of mules and nsses was 5,332: the number of cattle, exclusive of milch cows and working oxen, was 554.583; the number of milch cows was 506.390, and of working oxen, 11,2117. The number of swine of nil ages was 1,035,151, aud the number of sheep, 3,443,971, of w hich 1,­ 181,024 were under one year ok!. It is an imi>ortant item of the bulletin that in the past ten years the number of horses has increased 217,156; mules nnd asses. 572; cattle, other than milch cows nnd working oxen, 69.402; milch cows. 99,180, and hogs, 36,757. waBb working oxen have decreased 15.072 and' sheep 633,954. The number of sheep sheared in thia State in 1894 was 2J123.180. or 00,232 more than on hand June 1. The total wool clip of the State was ,14.696^22 pounds, nn average of 6.33 pounds'per head. The average per head in 1890 was 0.28 pounds; in 1884, 5.63 pounds, aud in 1880, 5.42 pounds. In 1894 the average per head in the southern counties was 6.40 jmunds; in the central counties. 5.92 ]>ounda; in the northern counties, 6.49 IHiunds, and in the Upper Peninsula, 6.82 Itounds.

It was a painful confession of the fail­ ure of the free-pew system that was made on Sunday in Brooklyn by the rector of St. Peter’s Protestant Episcopal Church. After n free-pew experiment of nine years Rev. Dr. Parker admitted that he hud gained a larger knowledge than he ever before possessed of the sinfulness, or wt» may say the wickedness. If not even the viciousness, of some of the people who are church-goers. He declared that some nf the men who occupied the free pews had no regard whatever for the moral obliga­ tions involved and seemed to him but as religious vagabonds. He told of men who would drop a cent in the box, and of others who would break their promises, and of more who seemed to be destitute oft shame. One man, for example, who had hired a pew in another place of worship, cleared $250 a year by sub-letting it to. another party, whiltj he himself took a seat in Dr. Parker's free-pew church. It was a melancholy sermon of Dr.| Parker in which he announced the free-, pew failure. He spoke of another church in Brooklyn which had tested the freepew theory with the result.that the deficit in its treasury had to be made up by the rich members. St. George’s Church, is New York, is still experimenting with the. system; but he raid that the shortage, there was to be made up .by the many, millionaires who belong to it. He did'not know of a single case in which it had been successful. After appealing to his listen­ ers to “pay up this time," he made a, startling remark: “I notice,’' he said,, “that some of you smile, which reminds me that some can^mile and smile and b* villains still." Not Buch a Wonderful Increase. The statement of Librarian Spofford that more than 55,000 publications were copyrighted in the United States last year, as against 23,000 hi 1884, shows an immense increase in the business of bis office, and has elicited a great amount and variety of press comment But there dues not appear to be any occasion for alarm. .To understand the matter thoroughly, it is necessary to bear in mind the fact that In 1884 the international copyright law had not been passed. Another source of Increase is the growing habit of copyright­ ing matter that appears in the newspap­ ers. Probably there is ten times aa much of this class of copyrighted publi­ cations as there was ten years ago, aud the chances are that it will continue to grow. Col. William D. Pollock is lying io a serious condition at his borne in Hea Peck.A Ind. Several days ago Col. Pol­ lock made a wager that he could suck three dozen eggs at one sitting.

One thing that makes me have "that tired feeling’’that you hear so much of, and particularly in the spring, is seeing folks go away from home to do their trading. .Sometimes 1 buy things away from home myself, but when I do you can bet it is something not kepHit stock by our own mer­ chants. It’s bad enough for the ordi­ nary consumer to do this thing, but infinitely worse for a man who is him­ self in business here. * could name at leasta half dozen prominent business men in Nashville who don't buy live dollars’ worth of dry goods in ‘their own town in a year, but buy every­ thing they wear at Grand Rapids or Charlotte. I saw a grocer of Nashville come home from Grand Rapids a short time ago with about a dozen big bun­ dles. That kind of business is noth­ ing more nor less than commercial suicide, but people of every town in­ dulge in it to a greater or less extent. Buy your goods at home. If you cao’t buy goods iu your own town good enough for you to wear, you can im.prove your town Immensely by mov­ ing out of it, like JacK Bowne did outof Hastings when he had outgrown it, after the town bad made him wealthy. If you have money enough so that you don’t ask the other people cf the town to trade with you, It Isn’t so bad, but even then it would look a heap better to trade at home. The foot-bridge across Quaker Brook is getting in a rather rickety condi­ tion and ought to be fixed up. I am in hopes that before it gets beyond re­ pairing the roadway will be built out so that a regulation sidewalk can be laid along there in place of the trestle­ work. It wouldn’t take a great deal of filling, as the walk could be laid to the east of where It now is, and the present roadwav is wide enough, so that the only filling necessary would be enough to lay the walk on.

The lease means a revival of the fight between the large cattlemen of Texas and the two territories, as the Waggoners hare madV this lease for no other purpose than to drive out the cattle barons now grazing stoek in Western Oklahoma.

The Imnitnw Empire to Be Thrown Open to Foreign Commerce and Her _ <00,000,000 Inhabitants to Compete with European Labor. ’ ' Condition* of Pence. The Japanese minister at Washington confirms the retorts from Tokyo that his Government has made the oponlag of Chinn to foreign commerce and imniIgni­ tion one'of the conditions of peace, which will make the country the moit attrae-i tire spot on earth for investment and speculation during the next fifteen or twenty years. The Interior of China,, and, as a matter of fact, the entire empire, except the treaty ports, is 2,000 years behind the age, judged by comparison with* France or -Grant Brttaih or the United States, but with ita marvelous soil and 400,000,000 of a naturally ingenious •nd industrious imputation it is capable of almost any degree ot development. Its advantages over Japan in this respect arc very great, and the latter country fins shown what progress a people can make when they accept modern ideas and meth­ ods. • Tbe conditions of peace mooch the free admission of machinery to all parts of China and the <*tnblishnient of factories by foreigners under the protection of the Government. This has hitherto been pro­ hibited outside tho treaty ports, and there Is practically no machinery in China. The abolition of the "Ilnkln tax," ns it is called, is also Insisted upon. This is n local duty or tax that may be assessed upon foreigners or foreign goods by any province or municipality to such an amount and ns frequently ns the local au­ thorities desire. It Is in* effect a black­ mail upon foreign trade nnd hns been the cause,of n grant deal of trouble nnd con­ stant complaint. Another condition is the granting of free concessions, char­ ters aud privileges to Japanese and other foreigners for the construction of rail­ ways after the manner ot civilised na­ tions. There is only one short railway in China, nnd that lielongs to tho Govern­ ment. . ■ It is understood at the Japanese le­ gation at Washington that all of these conditions have been accepted by the Chinese envoys, nnd tbnt tbe only point at issue now is the cession by China of the peninsula known ns the Regent’s Sword, at the point of whk‘h stands the citadel of Fort Arthur. Therefore it may be assumed ns certain that the wall which hns kept foreigners out of China is to be thrown down within the next few months. The motive of Japan In exacting from China the conditions described is the sub­ ject of much discussion, but It is generally assumed tbnt It was done in compliance with the suggestions of tho European na­ tions which desire to extend their i mrketa. It is also a question of serious discussion among diplomatists whether it is a wise policy to encourage the indus­ trial development of China by educating the masses of the people in mechanical pursuits nnd the uso of labor-saving ma­ chinery. The extraordinary capacity of the Chin­ ese in all forms of fabrication, their great ingenuity nnd facility -of imitation, their ability to labor fourteen and sixteen hours a day on a few handfuls of rice, and their willingness to work for wages tbnt would not pay for the tobacco consumed by an American mechanic, will make them dan­ gerous competitors in all lines of manu­ factures. particularly in the production of silks, cottons and other fabrics. If they should enter generally into the manu­ facture of textiles with cotton of their own cultivation they would effectually close the mills of Manchester, which have already been seriously crippled by the de­ velopment of the industry in India, where the increase of spindles during the last ten years hns been greater than in any other part of the world. Chinn is now the largest market for British and American cottons. Wc seud to that country very little else except pe­ troleum. Our exports last year (1804) were valued nt $5,858,488, of which $2,­ 884,220 were cotton cloths and $2,43S,636 petroleum. Our imports from China amounted to $17,135,028, of which $3,­ 103,684 were silks, $7,397,253 ten. $807.­ 635 matting and about $1.000,000 worth of furs nnd skins. Our exports to Japan were valued at $3,9S6^>15, of which $2,­ 226,247 was petroleum. Our imports from Japan amounted to $19,426,522, of which over $10,000,000 were silks, aud $3,500,000 tea. The Chinese market for manufactured goods will never be much greater. The wants of the people are few, nnd It will be generations before they nre educated to the need of luxuries. Therefore the demand for foreign merchandise will in no wise compensate for tbe competition they will offer. The opening of the coun­ try to manufactures will occasion a tem­ porary market for machinery, tools, rail­ way construction material and supplies and improved agricultural implements, but the Chinese are such clever Imitators that they will sson^be «hl* to supply themselven.. The Horrible Maxim Gun. Maxim guns were used aboard the ironclads during the recent naval ma­ neuvers. A correspondent descrlt>es their use as follows: “The storm of bullets from ttiin cut the water like rain on the advancing edge of a tropi­ cal squall. With one of these guns a gunner of very moderate skill can, at 500 yards range, cut down an ordinary park paling almost as well as a work­ man can do the business on the spot with nn ax. and it is therefore not as­ tonishing that most of the targets re­ cently, small as they wet?.'quickly dis­ appeared.

' THE SOUTHERN DEAD To Be Honored by a Monument in Oaitv jods Cemetery, Chicago. Union and Confederate veterans will unite Memorial day in tho dedication of the monument to the unknown dead of the Southern armies in Oakwoods ceme­ tery t Chicago. All tbe South will be there in spirit, nnd the 7,000 graves will be strewn with arbutus blossoms from tho mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee, tiger lilies from Georgia, roses nnd moss from Florida. And the shaft of the mon­ ument will rise from a bed of flowers gath­ ered by daughters, wives and sisters of those who fought and fell on Southern soil in the woods anti fields for which they died. Gen. John C. Underwood, who went to Georgia to secure tbe flowers, has sent wqrd that his mission has been suc­ cessful. They will be sent to Chicago in refrigerator cars. While the veil is being lifted from the monument generals of the Union and Gonfederate armies will stand by, shoulder to shoulder. Frotp the Southern side will be Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gen. John B. Gordon, Gen. W. W. Cabell nnd others, and from the Federal ranks will be Gen. Schofield, Gen. Flagler, Gen. Lawler, Gen. Palmer and others. Hundreds of Confederates Will be present, and Grand Army posts will participate in the dedicatory exercises and afterward will assist the Confed­ erates in strewing flowers over tbe graves of tbeir dead comrades. Surrounding tbe monament will be four cannons, which were appropriated by a special act of Congress. They have not yet been placed In position, but will be before Decoration day. They were captured from the Fed­ eral at Chickamauga nnd were after­ ward used with great effect by the Con­ federates in the battles of Missionary Ridge, Dalton, Resaca. Kenesaw Moun-i tain. Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta and Franklin, and were captured still later by the Union men at Nashville. When the veil falls an imposing monu­ ment forty feet high with pedestal of Ten­ nessee marble nnd statue of bronze will be seen. The figure will be recognized by every old Confederate ns that of a typi­ cal Southern infantryman. In tattered clothes, badly worn shoes, with stockings drawn over the trousers, he stands with folded arms, having no musket, and looks down as if in sorrow on tho field where many of his comrades sleep. Tbe face of the monument will show a bronze seal of the Confederacy enlarged, with the in­ scription : * : Erected to the Memory of 6,000 : Southern Soldier*, Here Buried, : Who Died in Camp Douglas Prison, : 1862-03. : : : : Tho wordr "Confederate Dead” nre on the base in large letters. On the eastern face Is a bronze panel representing "a call to arms." Tho return of the soldier to his home ia pictured on tbe west face. On the south side the soldier’s Inst sleep Is illustrated.

The girt of 13 is the future woman and a very important parcel of human­ ity. s*y» the New York Sunday Adven thter. She is a child.aud just growing Into womanhood, and this transition which to grown-ups means only a sud­ den shooting up beyond all bound* and a tendency to stooped shoulders, !i much more to the girl who leave*.child­ hood behind and I* not yet n young lady. Fast growing is a very great drain on any child's strength, and aa nt 13 she usually hits considerable work at school, both mind nnd body nre called upon to do double work. That is why she needs care.' Good food, rest nnd congenial compuny are some of the things which nre neco*sny for the girl of 13. She should not have too much excitement, or books to read which tax her thoughts too much, as her mind develop* only too quickly nt this nge, nnd every -day life nnd lessons an? enough to occupy her. She should go to bed early nnd sleep ten hours. For breakfast she should eat strengthening, bone-making foot), oat men?, oranges, brown bread, eggt nnd milk. For her midday meal she should have something more sustain­ ing than a bread and butter lunch, if she is to grow up into a strong woman. Hot soup and a chop nnd a baked po­ tato every day for three months will make her stand up straighter than braces will. She should have n walk in the open nlr every day; if she does not get this she will grow nervous nnd sleepless, have fantastic notions about an early grave and running away from home, or, worse still, grow sentimental and write morbid little verses nnd weep over the poor. These nre nil true symp­ toms of the girl of 13. She begin* to think she Is very old as soon n* she gets into her teens, nnd the responsi­ bilities affect her sensitive new mind to nn appalling degree—if she Is given time to think of them. “What's that box o' things fur?"

Oats Too Expensive to Grow. The low price of oats Is due to the fact that they can be so easily grown. They are sown in the West especially on fall-plowed laud, or after corn with­ out any spring plowing. If the season ta favorable this easily produces a good crop. But when wjj consider what tbe oats take from the soil, it ta found that this easily-grown crop la very nearly the most expensive that the farmer can sow. Oat roots fill the soil much more thoroughly than does any other spring grain, not excepting wheat. The out leaf ta not broad, ami if it were the plant ta not one of the kind to extract from tbe air tbe nitrogenous elements with which the grain ta filled. We do not wonder.therefore. that many Eastern farmers arc dropping oats out of the rotation. If It ta not convenient for them to buy what oats they feed, •they can grow enough for home use. But for most kinds of stock a mixture of oil meal with ground corn furnishes the oat ration in a much cheaper form than It can be got in the oat grain.— American Cultivator. A Movable Piapen.

RIGHT* OF MERCHANT SHIPS. Secretary Gresham ha* laid down some doctrine touching tbe rights of merchant steamers in foreign ports to afford asy­ lum to refugee*. This was called out by a letter addre-serd to tbe State Depart­ ment iu Decefiiber, 1893. by C- P. .Hunt­ ington, president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Compauy, asking for au exact definition of tho powers of captains of merchant atenmera In this respect. The Secretary responded that the so-calkd doctrine of right of any Mun having no ap­ plication to merchant vessels in port, it follows that a shipmaster can have DO exercise of discretion on tbe character of offense charged ngainst tbe refugee. While no general rule can be laid down as a comprehensive princi|de, a merchant vessel in n foreign port Ik within the local jurisdiction of the country with respect to the offenses or offenders against tfae u**.tbe&of, and an orderly demand for the surrender of *i- person accused of crime, by doe process of law. with exhi­ bition of a warrant of arrest in tbe bands of the regularly accredited officers of the law, may not be disregarded or resisted by tbe master of the ship.

The Her’* cablegram gave no information cting the condition* oo which the tmsrns of the agreement between the pow­ er* had been arrived at. Tbe Cbiae-c Le­ gation also received advice* from Japan announcing the signature of term* of p*Bce between Chinn and Japan. -It ia understood in Washington that th* terms agreed upon are-in conformity with those already publisltod. saving the amount of the indemnity, which was sub­ sequently reduced, probably to an amount eaRmated to be sufficient’ to corer all of Jaann’s war expenses. It is doubted, though, whether it has been brought down as low a* 81W.000.000 in gold. In respect of tbe territory which Japan I* to posse** it Is understood ia Washington that aside from Formosa, which is absolutely ceded, the rest will be subject only to temporary occupation, probably until nil of the in­ demnity bas been paid.

The- report of a condition that there should be an alliance offensive and de­ fensive l»etween Japan and China Is not credited in Japanese circles, where it is not believed to bav* been even suggested. On the other hand, some of the diplomatic body are inclined to believe that the alli­ ance has really been made with an earnest purpose to execute it. They sec in it th* realization of tbe prophecy of an emi­ nent scholar recently made that these two nations would eventually combine against occidental methods and commerce, and their watchword would b« “The orient for th* orientals.” Li Hung-Chang is said to be convinced of the wisdom of such'n combination. be­ lieving that by a close alliance with Japan, Chin* would scour* in return practical control of the commerce of the greatest trading people of th* East. Such a con­ summation ns this would mean the de^ •traction of European commercial inter­ ests in the orient and it may be that strong opposition will soon develop on the part of i»om* of th* powers to this fea­ ture of the agreement It b to be noted that this agreement Is not final in all respects, but b simply n preliminary agreement, indicating on broad lines tho ultimate terms of a defi­ nite treaty of peace which may not be per­ fected for months to come. TO FOUND A STATE. Michigan, Minnesota It is seriously proposed to create a new State by taking a part of the three States of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, which will be known as th* State of “Su­ perior,” or “th* mineral State.” This idea is a modification of tbe new State plan so often repeated, and its creator is Captain Alex. McDougall, th* inventor of the whaleback. Captain M< D<>ugnll would cut out a territory bounded on tbe north by Canada, on the west by tbe Mis­ sissippi rirer, on tbe south by a line drawn from the Missiraippi rirer along the southern boundary of,the northern tier of Wisconsin counties and terminating at the extreme tip of the upper peninsula. Of course, the eastern boundary line would lie ia the lakes, but that is imma­ terial to the plan. What is aimed at particularly is to place the three great iron ranges, the Vermil­ lion, the Meoaba and th* Gogebic, in one State, so that th* interests of none of them could be injured by conflicting legis­ lation nnd all might be treated from the ■ame basis. Should the new State, which would be the forty-fifth of the Union, be considered at all, it would hare the addi­ tional advantage, the captain thinks, of tiolring the difficulties of long standing between Duluth and Superior, for, both cities being in tuc same State, their in­ terests would be in the main almost identi­ cal. At least there would be no State Hue to rex and complicate their relations. A West Superior correspondent, in writing of tbe matter, says Duluth and the northern part of Minnesota hare no Interests in common with the r^ofrth* State. Wisconsin, it can truthfully be said, beers the same relation toward SujM-rior and the northern portion of the State, and as for the upper peninsula, it is not. either from a commercial or gco1 graphical point of ri*w, a part of the State of Michigan. The new State would i”. one out- Ul UIV richest UlUHl ill I.V.HUI in the be of the in wealth Union; it would have more than 500 mile* of water front and contain “thr h»ad oJ the lake*” harbor, which is thf gflteway : for the trade and commerce orthe entire northwestern . country. “Superior,” or “the mineral State,” would at once be­ come one of the greatest States of the tlnlon, it is firmly believed by its adro- G.

A chemist, who bad spent nil his lebure In trying to -discover effective means for the speedy extinction of fires, nt last invented a grenade which, be was jH-rsuaded, was tbe very thing that was needed everywhere. He arranged for a public exhibition of its incomparable virtues, and built outside tbe town a wooden structure, which, on a given night, would be used to demonstrate tbe fire extinguishing capabilities of the “Modern Wonder Hand Grenade.” On the evening in question, as soon ns the darkens* caifle, a great crowd assembled, and the man of scientific skill appeared with specimens of his wonderful invention. After haranguing the mob on tbe merits of hb grenade, he proceeded to set fire to the temporary building; nnd as the flames leapt up he threw off hb coat and let tho Iwtties fly. But, to the chagrin- of the chemist, as each missile struck the boards the flames leaped higher, and the fire burned with a fiercer glow. Faster flew the grenades, but larger grew tlie fire, aud soon the stock of grenade** and the patience of the thrower were alike exhausted. Tbe structure was reduced to ashes, and the discomfited inventor rapidly re­ tired amid shouts of derision. Up to tlie present he has faileel to as­ certain who detracted the corks of hb grenades, and. pouring out the con­ tents, filled them up with paraffin! Nei Spread Destruction.

If the coming scarcity of cattle had not been foreshadowed by the January Gov­ ernment rejMirt data of a similar nature would not be lacking now. For the week ending March 30 the decrease jn tho re­ ceipts of cattle nt the Chicago stock yards in comparison with the same week in 1.894 was 8,583 head. Since Jan. 1 there haro been received at the stock yards 572,857 bend, a decrease of 119,068 for the same period in 1894. Shipments during tbe same period of time decreased 51,080 head and the actual slaughter 66,970 head. Th* figures are official. On April 11 the esti­ mated shortage in the receipts of cattle at the Union Stock Yards since Jan. 1 in comparison with the receipt* for the same period in 1894 was 270,000 head. Th* shortage In pounds of dressed beef for th* same period was estimated to be 175,000,­ 000 pounds, or an average of 2,000,000 pounds decrease a day. On the same day the receipts of cattl* at.the yards were 9,500 bead less than on the same day in 1894. No Combine Amons Packer*. Cal Favorite, speaking for Armour & Co., said: “The Big Four is a mythical or­ ganization. I do not know that it exlata. If you view the situation in the light of an actual shortage of marketable cat­ tle existing—40 per cent, less than n year ago In the whole country—it is not diffi­ cult to explain why there b a scarcity in beef and higher price*. It b simply Im­ possible for us to get choice cattle in any quantity.” P. D. Armour said: ‘The Western ranges have been denuded of cattle, and I believe it will take four or five years to have a reduction In tbe prevailing beef price*. The scarcity of cattle, in my opinion, will continue for that length of time. I do not see how it b to be avoided. Months and year* will be required to re­ store to the barren ranges the cattl* which once kept tbe supply ahead of th* demand. The aituation is tbe logical end of a series of. disasters on the cattl* ranges nnd destruction of crops needed for feeding purposes.” Comparative tables were secured show­ ing th* figures of the receipts, shipments and killing* in the CM-ugo.

WATER LOCOMOTION. An Invention Which Enables One to A French inventor has recently shown at the Nouveau Cirque, says La Nature, a pair of shoes with which a motion on water Is obtained similar in every respect to walking. An enor­ mous ellipsoid frame of thin wood covered with rubber bas a rectangular plate of sheet-tin or ajumlnlutn at­ tached to the flat base of the water­ shoe. This plate acts like the fin of a fish; when drawn forward. It bends to­ ward the bottom and encounters no re­ sistance. When pressure is brought from above, the plate falls down and the resistance of the water is very large. This is the principle motion, as the difference between the two actions represents the actual distance covered. While progress Is slow It is still ap­ preciable. The long pole is carried to maintain the cqulpose easier. Flint*. Probably few people are aware that there still exists In England a manu­ factory of gun and tlnder-box flints, yet such is the case, Tbe same meth­ ods are employed In the mining and (fashioning of flints as in the stone age, with little alteration. Jn order to break flint Into pieces of convenient size, the worker places the mass on his knee, ami. by a dexterous blow with a hammer, shivers it Into fragments as easily ns If it were chocolate. Tbe pieces ore then split into flakes, and these. In turn, are fractured Into little squares which, with very slight trimming, be come finished gun-flints. Most of the gun flints are exported to Zanzibar and other porta in communication with the Interior of Africa; But, besides these, large quantities of flints for tinder­ boxes are still made at Brandon. Tln­ der-box flints chiefly go to Spain and Italy for use in Isolated districts. Luttrell. Not Infrequently Lady Holland, in her casual sort of way, invited more people than the table would bold.

Opposition Attempt the Overthrow of the Administration in Nicaragua. Curtate, Nicaragua, dispatch: Taking advantage of the uneasiness that is man­ ifesting itself throughout the Nicaraguan republic in cuusrquence of England's oc­ cultation of Corin to, the opposition party is making an attempt to overthrow the present administration by force of arms.

It is raid that the British consul has been handed his pasajiortH. Matthews Would Accept. In an interview Gov. Matthews of In­ diana was asked if he would take the Democratic nomination for President if it were offered him. His reply wua: “Of course I would. So would any citizen. If the Governor of a State says he would refuse to be so honored, you can put it down that his statement is pure and sim­ ple affectation. But 1 am not a candi­ date, not a candidate for anything—that is, in the scuse of seeking the nomina­ tion.” ' May Turn Convicts Loose. A peculiar situation has developed in the Nebraska State finances by which it may be necessary to dose the penitentiary. The last Legislature abolished the con­ tract system In vogue, but failed to ap­ propriate funds to pay the institution's expenses. No money is available. The Governor must call un-rxtra session of the Legislature to have the appropriation made or make tbe penitentiary self-sup­ porting. He will try the latter. Could Not Fla the Responsibility.

" ' IN DEATH’S COLD ARMS. Unknown Woman Drownh Herself and Child in Michigan's Icy Waters. Four men were fishing from the pier at the foot of Forty-eighth Street, Chicago, at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon when they saw a woman nnd liftie boy walking along the shore a short distance north of where they sat. The child took greet de­ light in watching the waves dash iu spray upon the beach, and his merry laughter attracted the attention of tne fishermen. As the wares came tumbling in upon the. sand the boy would run back tg where the woman whs standing, and then after the water .had receded he, wotfld venture out again. The boy played in this fashion for fifteen or twenty minutes, when the woman was seen to take him np in her arms nnd walk into the lake. The fisher­ men shouted a cry of warning, but the woman i>aid no attention to the four men. Holding the boy to her breast, she waded out into the water until It alraoat reached her neck. Then she suddenly plunged be­ neath the waves, and that was the last cen of her or the boy until the police came and recovered the bodies ten min­ utes inter. The identity of the woman and child has not been established. NEW JERSEY BANK ROBBED. Thieves Make a Good Haul from a Plainfield Institution. The First National Bunk of Plainfield. N. J., was robbed of $22,705 Monday. It is thought the theft was committed while there were but two clerics in the bank, when a stranger entered and engaged them in cunverration while a confederate reached the vault through the directors' room. The robbery wan discovered when th© cashier, Frank S. Runyon, was pre­ paring to close the bank for jhe day. The money wan in two packages. One con­ tained $20,000 in new bills, ranging Iu value from $10 to $1,000. The other contained $2,703 in mutilated bills. All of the bank employes were immediately questioned, and it was found that at the noon hour only two clerks had been at their posts. The bank officers believe that the robl>ery was the work of pro­ fessionals. The affair was kept from the public for several days. SPAIN THINKS IT WRONG.

The Indiana are likely to take a hand, and possibly a few scnl|m. unless the controversy is settled quickly nnd satisfactorily. Such is the opinion of United States District Attorney Sawyer, who has just returned from the Winne­ bago reservation. He found the temper of the majority among the tribes of the Omaha* and Winnebago* to be unmis­ takably in favor of waiving the fonuaiities of jurisprudence and settling the question with lead and steel. Mr. Saw­ yer says that there is a great spirit of unrest and suppressed excitement among the Indians, and it was just such a case as the present one that precipitated the outbreak among the Winnebago* Ju 1862. when they were on their reservation, which was at that time located in Minne­ sota.

The heaps are pyramidal in form and are so large aa to contain several cartloads of mate­ rial.

The next -revised,edition of Murray will contain tbe word ’’larrikin." Its significance Is peculiar nnd its deriva­ tion amusing. A “larrikin** Is an Aus­ tralian tough boy or gamin. He is of the peculiar strain of depravity sure to be found In a land like Australia, the logical offspring of the convict outcasts and the women tliat follow In their train. He la said to have peculiarities not to be found in any other tough boy, and physical characteristics which would identify him wherever found by a student of the human race. For ex­ ample, the shape of bla head Is unmis­ takable. He is plentiful Iu Australia, lie is depraved, lacking alike in men­ tal and In moral health. He was until lately without any indi­ vidual cognomen, but not long ago one of the class was in court In Melbourne, nnd the Irish officer who bad him In charge, being naked by tbe judge what his offense was, replied: ’Tie was a larrklng, yer ’onor," with such a roll­ ing of the r that the judge misunder­ stood for the moment and thought the word was4 a term applied to the boy.

Coming to the great European wars of the revolutionary period, we might expect a great crop of medals for our brave soldiers. Butno; there are gold medals for superior officers, but for the die-hards of the peninsular war. who often, by sheer hard fighting, re­ deemed the blunders of their com­ manders, absolutely nothing. As for the Generals. Wellington complained that they were too thickly hung with medals. There Is a splendid gold med­ al for Maida, the very finest of all our military medals, of which only pends woven seventeen were issued.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE feeling given by Great Britain and tbe United’Statca. The Russian Prince Ucbtomoky, who accompanied the present exar on his tour In the East, has written a long communi­ cation to the Moscow Viedomostl ex­ plaining the threatening features of the situation in the Orient. He declares that Russian intervention is inevitable. It would be criminal neglect, he thinks, if Russia were to allow Japan to menace Russia’s interests in east Asin, as is con­ templated in the Shltnoncseki treaty. He expresses the fear that bloodshed will be necessary before Jniuiu’s aggressive spirit con be cheeked. Ho regards the Japanese sis intoxicated with tbe completeness of their victory and determined to force ujwn the rest of the world a policy which all nations haying Interests in east Asia must frustrate, by peaceful menus if pos­ sible, but otherwise "by tlif sword. Washington Diplomata Secretive. A Washtagtou dispatch says the report by cable that England and Japan were making strenuous efforts to secure the co­ operation of the United States to prevent other powers from interfering in the makthe treaty of peace lodwcen Japan and China and control certain of its terms, was referred to the Japanese I^egation. Minister Kurino ia sick, but ques­ tions as to the truth of the story were answered to the effect that nothing was known of it at the Japanese Legation. If efforts were being made to bring the United States into the affair on the side of Jnpau they were not being participated in by Minister Kurino. There is high authority for the statement that nothing of the kind hnd been urged at the State Department by either-the English or Jap­ anese diplomats. So far, at least, no in­ vitation to the Unitea States, to interfere In any way in the treaty making between China and Japan bud come from any source. It was stated emphatically that no attitude of Interference would be as­ sumed by the United States now or here­ after, no matter who issued the invita­ tion or who urged it. MANY GIRLS MANGLED.

A Kentucky Giant Who Wouldn’t Stoop to Enter a Prison Dcor. James McDowell, a man of herculean build nnd standing seven feet nnd oue inch iu bis bare feet, treated Grayson, Ky., to a regular picnic a few days ago. Jailer Brown had a wajrnnt issued for him. the charge being that McDowell had smuggled liquor to prisoners in jaiL McDowell was easily found and wont to the jail door, which was only six and onehalf feet high. But he refused to stoop to enter the jail. The jailer bogged then threatened, but the giant stood immova­ ble. Brown tried to bend McDowell’s tegs at the knee. He got up twenty feet away. Help was called for, but Mc­ Dowell stood at the door, grim, but stead­ fast. A crowd began to gather. Soon all the town was attracted to the giant at the jail door. He was good-natured, and laughed and jested with the crowd. Toward evening McDowell announced that he was getting weary and would go bome, promising to appear in court the next day, adding that if the door was en­ larged he would go into tbe jail, but ba would never bow to any jail door. Brown let him go. McDowell came back as ha hnd promised, pleaded guilty nnd paid bis fine. . No Pope Joan. Though the story has been refuted over and over again, there Is still a widespread belief that there existed iu the middle ages a female pope. Pope Joan, as she is called, has even given her name to a game of cards which is mentioned in Sheridan’s "School for Scandal." The tradition with regard to tbe female jK»i>e hns Iteen traced back to the eleventh century, but she ia mid to have lived much earlier. hc?r pontificate having taken jflace In the ifjith century and having lasted for more than two years.

Sap will run only when the temperature Is at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and stop run­ ning as soon as frost is out of the ground, or directly after the snow Is gone. Sometimes the cold weather con­ tinues so late hi the spring that It Is nearly April 1 before the thermometer goes above 30 degrees. In 1833 the farmers in Vermont did not tap the trees until the latter part of March. Last year the tapping began about March 8 or 9. As soon as the weather Is favorable ' the farmer gets out his buckets and •sets to work tnpplng.hls maple trees as quickly as possible. Tbe maple trees aro tapped by boring the trunks with a small bit—usually half-inch—about 1% Inches deep, and from ono to three feet above tho ground. Trees are not tap­ ped until they are about one foot in diameter. After tapping, a spout made of clean maple, bench, tin or galvanized Iron and fitted with a banger for hold­ ing the bucket, is driven firmly Into the hole made by the bit: a bucket of tin or wood is hung upon the spout, and the tapping process Is finished. The buckets are ordinary water pails, gen­ erally all alike, and each farmer usually paints all his buckets one color. Only one hole Is bored In young trees, but It Is not uncommon to have as many ns half a dozen buckets, with two spouts each, hung to maples of large size. If the bucket fills with sap In a day the run Is n good one, although twice this amount is obtained In oxceptloncliy favorable sap days. What Is called a “good-sized” sufcar orchard will contain from 500 to SOO trees. There are many orchards of 1,5<X) trees, and in the northern and central parts of Vermont orchards of 2,000 to 4,000 trees are not uncommon. When the sap be­ gins to ran well the fanner and all his family must work hard. A man with a large farm will employ help outside of his family frequently, and use two or three pairs of oxen or horses to make the rounds of the trees with a sled on through sugaring, And t sons or ties—what ono of VennopFs __ daughters ever forgets/Ceiu? The anow is still upon the ground, and as night comes on the clear cold air upon tbe rock-ribbed bills brings the color to the cheeks and quickens the step. And the smell of good maple syrup—well, perhaps, that may have something to .do with* quickening the step; but the young people are not long on the road to a sugar party. The time It requires to go from a sugar parry varies. An average computation has never been at- OX SLED AND SAP TANK. tempted: for, ns at husking bees, the young man has the girl of bis choice if lie can get her. At the party tbe hot sugar is dropped upon the snow nnd forms into “frogs" nnd various other imaginative repro­ ductions of animal life before it is con­ sidered at the stage of perfection for eating. Some have bowls of snow nnd saucers of hot sap, and the great fun of a “sugaring off" party is to sit out on the wood pile, covered with buffalo skins, and “candy" the sugar by pour­ ing a spoonful on the snow in the bowl nnd eat it with doughnuts and crullers. Sometime*, a small branch of stripped maple or beach In clipped Into the ket­ tle and you have the fun of twirling it until it cools. Then you break off the candied branches. Tbe modern evaporator makes it pos­ sible to do much sugar making in a short time. The evaporator is made .of tin, copper or galvanized iron, and is so constructed that the sap flows in at one end, and. by means of partitions extending nearly across tho pan, Is made to take a zigzag course to the other end, where it is drawn off as syrup. The sap In the pan Is kept shallow—about one-half Inch In depth— nnd evaporates very rapidly. Rapidity of evaporation Is greatly to be desired, not onlj' on tbe score of time but be­ cause the sooner sap is converted into syrup after It runs from the trees tho lighter will be the color and the Oner the flavor of the syrup nnd sugar. The sugar bouse Is a rough little building, with a shed half full of welldried cordwood for the boiling lire. The room Is mainly occupied by the boiling apparatus, with the bunk of the man who hns to watch the pans of boiling sap day and night One side is taken up by £he oven, which is built on a bed IN THE SUGAR ORCHARD. which Is tbe large sap tub into which the sap from the backets is poured. An orchard of 700 or 800 or even 1,000 trees need not require the fanner to hire help, if he has. two or three men or boys In the family besides himself. From an orchard of 700 trees an ordi­ nary run of sap for two days will en­ able the fanner to collect abput eighty barrels. Sometimes sixty barrels of sap can be collected rrum 700 trees in one day. As soon as tbe men begin collecting the Mp, the fires in tbe big evaporator furnace must be started, and the boil­ ing of the sap begun as fast as it is brought in, so that none will be wasted by souring, or tbe quantity brought from the woods may not so far exceed the accommodations at the house that while waiting to get room for it much will be wasted at the trees. At the time when the sap Is running freely the farmer must often keep the fires going and the sap boiling all through tbe night, and. of couf-se, he is likely to have to work all day Sunday and Sun­ day night as any other time of the week. It is all-lmj>ortant that he "make hay while the sun shines." When the work la hardest the fun is at its best. Those wbo have but a small orchard will •'spare" some of the famllv ta help a relative er neighbor to cool and settle, more or less or im­ purities being precipitated by standing. Tht; syrup Ik now ready for putting into cans for sale Tha sixe-mostly in use ll one gallon. Tho proper consistency of syrup is generally conceded to be 11 pounds to tile gallon, and tills degree of density Is reached at 219 degrees Fah­ renheit The sap is never made Into more than syrup in the evaporator. Then It Is poured Into a large porcelain lined kettle to be boiled, to sugar. If wanted for sugar the boiling is contin­ ued until the thermometer Indicates 232 degrees for pail sugar, or 238 or * ’;e, when.the mass is fire, stirred briskly for a short time, and then poured into tin pails or cake moulds, as_ tbe rtise may be, to harden. The cake moulds are often a series of parallel partitions on a large wooden board, with spaces in them about three inches apart, and just wide enough to admit a knife blade Tbe moulds aredampened with a sitonge, then the hot sugar poured in. Little fancy tins are also used for moulds. The farmer geta anywhere from 10 to 18 cents per pound of brick nnd consists of two brick walls about two feet apart, 2% feet high and 12 feet long, with an iron door at the end near the shed entrance to the bouse. A huge, old-fashioned brick chimney stands at the other end. where there also la a sort of square, brick furnace to bold a big kettle. In the roof, near the center of the ridge pole, a large slot opens to the sky as an es­ cape for the steam, which rises in TBE HLDAB HOVSE. heavy volumes from .the pans on the fire. • The sap as ft comes from the maple tree is like water and has barely any more flavor than good water. But it doesn't take much beat to produce flav­ or. A barrel of good sap will make a gallon of syrup or eight pounds of su­ gar. After being reduced to syrup in tbe evaporator the product is allowed for his sugar, and from 75 cents to $1 a gallon for his sirup. A sugar maple produces on an average about 3}» pounds of sugar during a season. Jonei' Success with “Scratch" Crews One of tbe strangest things In Paul Jones’ career was the success he achieved with “scratch" crows. Ir bis greatest fight, contemporary his tory says, he bad “as bad a crew ns ever was shipped," being made up of all nations, among them Maltese, Por­ tuguese, and Malays, who did not al­ ways comprehend the word of com­ mand. Pnul Jones has been severely denounced for having returned to the placo of his birth bent ou destruction; but. ns Cooper Justly points out, an officer's oath obliges him to do all in bls power io harass the enemy; and it was not only Paul Jones' right, but bls duty, to use his knowledge of the Scotch and Irish coasts In the prosecu­ tion of the war. If he had any feel­ ing on the subject. It would bare been his duty to suppress k. But Paul Jones probably had no feeling what­ ever, except resentment.

It is wonderful to note the prescience of Paul Jones in the light of another century. This Revolutionary captain foresaw the use of torjiedoes. and ex­ perimented boldly with very primitive ones. He understood as fully ns a greet contemporary writer the “influ­ ence ?f sea power upon history,” and wrote, a century and a quarter ago: “In time of peace, it is necessary to prepare, and to be always prepared, for war by sea." He advocated the establishment of n naval academy, and a supplementary course for offi­ cers closely resembling tbe Naval War College, aud advocated the con­ stant study and practice of fleet evo­ lutions. This was in the days when Britannia ruled the waves with a vengeance, but without “tactic." In his admiration for this fascinating part of bls profession, Paul Jones cer­ tainly underrated the British; but when he came to fight them, be show­ ed them, in his preparations, every mark of respect—Century.

OF **rlef Story of One of the Mo«t Hor­ rible Tragedies iu the History of Crime-Four Victims of a8«n Fran­ cisco Fiend. Bodies Hacked to Pieces. W. H. Theodore Durant, of San Fran­ cisco, medical student and assistant Sun­ day, school superintendent, is to stand trial for the murder of Miss Marian Wil­ liams in Emanuel Baptist Church library Friday night, April 12 The coroner's jury has found that the young woman came to her death by his hands. There has been no more sensational murder mystery in the criminal annals of tho Golden Gate city than the case of William Henry Theodore Durant, charg­ ed with the double murder of Blanche La­ mont and Minnie Williams, against whom Is tho suspicion of baring stabbed to death a' young drug clerk named Eugene Ware. The mystery and sensationalism sur­ rounding the case are heightened by the disappearance of two other women known to be acquainted with the alleged murderer, a Mrs. Forsythe and Miss Ag­ nes Hill. While the police haye accumulated a mass* of direct and circumstantial evi­ dence against Durnnt, the prisoner coolly denies his guilt and claims that he will prove an alibi. If it fhall be shown that Durant is the murderer of Blanche La­ mont and Minnie Williams the strange case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" will hare been outdone in real life, and will hare/urnished the strongest kind of addi­ tional proof that "truth Is stranger than fiction." So far ns outward appearances go Du­ rant hns been a model.young man, who neither drank nor smoked; the assistant superintendent of a Sunday school, the librarian of a church, of gentle demeanor and Christian spirit Such he appeared to bo to those whose good opinion he sought, but some of his associates say that in private ha was. blasphemous and foul-mouthed; that he practiced all the rices ho pretended to abhor and that bls TBE MVnDF.BED G1111.3. remarks atyut women were particularly offensive. It is n case that has no parallel except the Whitechapel horrors which startled London and all tha world a few years ago, nnd the case of Jack the Ripper lacks, so far as known, many of the psychological features of the case of Theodore Durant, for there is nothing to show that Jack the Ripper pretended to lead an exemplary Christian life while committing his atro­ cious butcheries. The combination of saint and fiend in one human being deep­ ens the mystery of the Emanuel Church murders, and has aroused universal in­ terest in the ease. Work of a Fiend. The developments of a week have been sufficient to cause the greatest excite­ ment. First came the finding of the nude body of Marion Williams, a young girl who had been missing since the day be­ fore, in a closet off the library of the church. It was terribly mutilated. The finding of this body, startling as it was in itself, gave the police an idea which they were not slow in working on. The close friend of Miss Williams, Blanche Lamont, bad been missing for more than two weeks and a search for her had been in vain. But upon the ghastly discovery In the closet a thorough and systematic examination of the building was decided upon. Away up in the belfry her body was at length found, nude like that of her friend, and also horribly mutilated. The clothing which was torn in shreds from the body had been tucked into corners and holes in the dusty old belfry. In the two weeks during which it hnd Inin there a heavy coating of dust had settled like a shroud over the body. Upon this discov­ ery tho excitement in the city, which was intense before, knew no bounds. Other Developments. To follow the various steps by which the police advanced to tho point of ar­ resting Durant upon suspicion of having been the murder would be ns unnecessary as it wonld be tiresome. He had hardly been arrested, however, when it seemed apparent to the authorities that If he were guilty of these crimes he must also have committed two others which were causing the detectives a deal of trouble. A few months ago a young druggist non­ ed Ware was found murdered at the foot of his stairs. He was a very close friend of Durant. This was one of the mys­ teries. The other was the sudden disap- pearance about a week before the discov­ ery of the bodies of the girls of a woman named Forsythe. She was a friend of Du­ rant and was last seen in his company. So much for tbe first chapter, that of the mystery. The second is not a whit less sensational Borrowed—"What would you do if The Victim*. you were me?" Baggins—"Pay myself Ths two girls were close friends, as be­ the $10 you- owe we."—Philadelphia fore said. They were also friends of Record. Durant Mrs. Ada Forsythe was also a member of the Emanuel Baptist Church, and although her body has not been.found after diligent search. It It believed ahc met a similar fate as that which befell tha two girls. She was seen with Durnnt about a week ago; since then she has been missing. Druggist Eugene Ware was one of Durant's closest friends. It Is now said that the latter became jealous of him on account of some girl, and that this was ' the reason for bis -murder. . Here are some -of the most damaging ■features of the evidence against Durant: Ware was stabbed eighteen times by a I IN MICHIGAN** TOWNS. Population of Sixty-eight Citie* and Many Village*.

TUJs is the narrative of Potter Palmer nud his'chief porter, ns told In a Chi­ cago paper: “ Mr. Palmer has what be considers an educated taste In horseflesh. He thinks he knows a trotter when he sees him, nnd hr.s little doubt of his ability to Judge of tbe aforesaid trotter when be sits behind him with ribbons In bls bands. Mr. Palmer some time ago bought a horse with an alleged ability to do a mile In 2-”>0,. that strick him as being extremely desirable. He paid a good deal of money for the animal, and be wasfllled with delight when he thought of the easy and brash manuer In which he would pass the various turnouts on the Lake Shore drive. He asked Mra. Palmer to come out with him to try the new horse, and, having nothing better to do, Mra. Palmer consented. The wagon was yoked up and the driver attached. Oue by one tbe speedy hors?s of the neighboring Armours nnd Trees and Healys were passed, and Mr. Palmer waa just beginning to rejoice in his purchase when there came behind him the clatter aud rattle of a badly con­ structed village cart "We will have to have one more run,* my dear,” said Potter Palmer. “Just this once, love," said Mrs. Pot­ ter Palmer. The clattering came nearer, and near­ er, and nearer, and then presenter and presenter, nnd at last passtiger and pnsslnger, until It faded away tn the distance far beyond anything Potter Palmer and his new horse could do, but as tbe vehicle went by Mr. Palmer recognized the driver. It was his own bead porter! The man who bad thus brought him to open shame was tbe person wbo told tho slaves how to pile the transit around In the Palmer House. He said nothing just then, but like the parrot In the story be thought a heap. Mra. Palmer made such conver­ sation as there was held in the rest of tbe trip, and Mr. Palmer got beck to tho hotel as soon as possible. “How much does the head porter get a month?" he demanded. “Fifty dollars," replied the manager. "How can be buy trotting stock on |50 a month?” demanded Mr. Palmer. “Oh, you forget his fees.” “W trnt fees?” “Why,his tl;i»—the money people give tho head porter when their luggage is brought for them.” “Hereafter," said Mr. Palmer, “no porter is to bo permitted to collect fees.

When fed from the floor adjacent to their pen, the lambs are quite sure to be found walking al! over the hay and grain, and making themselves gener­ ally at home In the uttermost parts of the barn. Tho sheep, moreover, wear off the wool from their necks and dis­ figure themselves when feeding through openings In the side of their pen. When the fodder Is thrown' down from the floor above tbe pen an arrangement such as is shown in the illustration may be found serviceable. It is a hanging rack with slats, all around It, nnd made narrow at the bot­ tom so that the flock can reach even the last spear of hay. There will be no crowding with such an. arrange­ ment The feed will not be soiled, and the pen can be kept closed so that the lambs cannot escape- from it Even when the fodder Is not thrown downfrom the floor above such a rack may ing on wheels, of a weight not too heavy for a horse to draw, and of a site to accommodate from fifty to sev­ enty chickens.

The most plausible theory for the sep­ aration of the butter fat In cream by-tbe churn, is that the fat globules in milk and cream being surrounded by a thin layer of liquid cream serum, tho concus­ sion of the churning causes tbe usually round, uniform, floating globules to harden Into Irregular shapes, which re­ sults in their adhering to each other until the enlarging granules of butter can be seen by the naked eye. For some time before the butter “comes,” or the cream “breaks,” the fat globules have been massing together, and the usually rapid Increase In size after they are vis­ ible is due to the greater surface ex­ posed. just as a rolling snowball grows fastest at the last The factors which affect the completeness of the churn­ ing are stated by Director J. L. HUis of Vermont, to Indude the food of the cows, the period of their lactation, the creaming and ripening, the size and kind of churn, with the heat and uenslty of the cream. There'seems, how­ ever. to be no relation between tbe sour­ ness of the cream, tbe temperature, the curd In tbe butter, and the time needed for churning. Forcing Early Rhubarb. The most common method of forc­ ing an early and large growth of rhubarb was to place an upright bar­ rel over tbe plant with both heads 0]>en, and the pile around it a mass of burs* manors to decompose and In­ crease the warmth. At night when tbe weather is cold tbe top of the barrel should be bovered with a mat to ex­ elude the frost. ‘It used to be sup­ posed that the manure thus applied furnished plant food ns well as heat Really, however, it gives little of either. The barrel with open bead covered at night warms the soil around the plant better than docs the manure which obstructs the sun's rays. A very small amount of composted manure -dug into the soil inside the barrel will give more plant food for Immediate use than will a big pile of coarse manure outside. The most of the beat inside the barrel comes from the sun’s rays both inside and outside Il Tbe barret should, however, be wrapped In a blanket on cold nights; besides being covered at tbe top so ns to hold the heat gained during the However fertile the soli of garden.* _ _t If planted year after year It will often become badly Infested by worms, grubs and other Insects.

A great deal less fencing is used now than when the country was newer. It can be still further diminished, not only without decrease of production, but with the effect of making the farm pro­ duct greater. Before "making a fence to save a little posture, it is well to moke an estimate whether it would not be cheaper to let the grass grow and cut IL or at the worst to let It fall on the land as manure. If the little pas­ ture Is a field of young clover, either one of these last-named methods will prove more profitable than turning the stock on it Bo'long as fencing material was abundant fanners used to cut It into rails and surround fields with them as the best way of disposing of surplus wood. But a well-fenced farm Is now not valued so highly as one with­ out fences, but in which the more Im­ portant point of maintaining soil fer­ tility has been attended to. Tbe Scientific American describes a new wagon tongue support which has been patented by a man iu California. The accompanying Illustration shows how It Is used. It Is very simple, con­ sisting of two plates fastened to the front and rear sides of the axle by means of bolts. On the front plate are two elongated lugs, which are apertured to receive the supporting arms. Tbe bitter are preferably of stout wire, and have a vertical section held in place by a set screw. Jt is not necessary to connect the arms to the tongue; tbe latter sim­ ply rests npon them. In Ironing shirts use hea-ry Irons, well heated. First Iron the thick bands, then the sleeves and body, and last the bosom, which should first be rubbed over with a cloth wrung out of warm water. Then tbe Iron should be passed over rapidly and the bosom again rublied over with a damp doth and ironed until it Is polished ahd thor­ oughly dry. To gloss the linen a smooth, round-edged Iron should be used. All laces and embroideries should be Ironed by the thread of the material, and on the wrong side. , Lemon Puddiuc.

Ever Before Known.• Gold Monometallism, He Says, Not a Strong Factor. Secretary Hoke Smith, of the Interior Department, In an interview on the finan­ cial question, divided the people into three classes—gold monometallism, silver mono­ metallists and bimetallists. He did not think the gold monometallism strong enough to become a factor in the cam­ paign, but that the issue would be for and against silver monometallism. He thought that the free and unlimited coin­ age of silver at the present ratio by this country alone would mean nothing more or less than silver monometallism, for if. under that system, the price of silver bul­ lion did not materially advance, no other metal would be presented at the mints for coinage.

The steamer A. Everett, (Chicago to Ogdensburg with grain, was sunk by the ice on luike Huron, twenty miles above Point Au Barqnes,, Monday night. The crew were all successful in escaping from the wreck and were picked up by the steamer Eber Ward. The steamer was valued at $30,000, and is snp|>oacd to have been insured for about $38,000. She was owned by the Minch estate, of Cleve­ land. Two years ago the Everett came near meeting her fate with ice ion Lake Superior. It is rumored in railway circles that a new rule will shortly be put into force on the railroads in the Vanderbilt system, which, in brief, is that officials, when making promotions among employes, shall pay no attention to seniority of service, but will consider only efficiency. It is said that if the rule is adopted It will meet with stubborn resistance by the men. Another wreck on the Interooeanic Railroad is reported at Temematla, Mex., the scene of the diMater by which nearly one hundred imssengers lost their lives. A freight train Jumped the track, and it is said the number killed is fourteen, with several more injured. Victim* of ■ Woman Dcntiwt.

In 1888 the session was held in San Francisco, the president of the association for ’88 was Aaron Gove, then and now superintend­ ent of the Denver schools. The San Fran­ cisco meeting was the largest the association'has ever held, before or sine* that time, and such en­ thusiasm as was manifested in 1888 has not been known until 1896. when th* fame of Denver has called forth, three months before the time set for the July meeting, an enthusi­ asm on the part of educators through­ out the country, which assures an attendance of between 20,000 and 30,000 people. The San Francisco attendance was 12,000.

Allison, of Iowa, passed through Chicago tho other day on his way to Washington. In response to the qulries of an in­ terviewer he said : “I am In favor of sound money. ■ Gold and silver hare been the money of nations £or centuries, and all that is needed is to establish the relative value of the two met­ als. The question now is how can we ALLI9OX. place silver in circu­ lation and pare it current with gold? It Sa gratifying, is it not, to know that a few Proposed Republican Policy. Washington dispatch: Certain dements in the Republican party wilkendeavor to obtain a definite declaration regarding silver at the national convention.

Those who are for sound currency on a gold basis onght to have the courage to say so and abide by the results of their convictions. I have no hesitation in declaring myself opjiosed to all free coinage fallacies. My judgment is that silver cannot be restor­ ed to its former monetary place in the commerce of the world, because the sup­ ply of silver has outgrown the demand for silver in the exchanges of civilization. The relation of supply to demand is the regulator of value. This axiom applies alike to salt, silver, sugar nnd soap.

The first movement of the friends of free silver coinage in Tennessee to or­ ganize was made when, in response to a call, a gathering of the supporters of the white metal was held in Memphis, at which the nucleus of a Bimetallic League to embrace the jpntire State was formed. Before organization was perfected the meeting declared ft* principles in a brief resolution favoring the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to L independent of the action of other coun­ tries.

President Yglesins even went so far as to offer to contribute one-fifth of the amount, but popular sentiment in Nicara­ gua was so set ngainst England that the administration decided not to yield, and the only response received by President Yglcsias to his offer was a copy of Nicara­ gua's answer to Admiral Stephenson's ultimatum. The United States attempted to adjust the pending dispute between Great Brit­ ain and Nicaragua. Ambassador Bayard, acting under instructions from Washing­ ton, represented to the British foreign office that Nicaragua, if given two weeks’ additional time from the expiration of the three days fixed in the ultimatum, would meet Great Britain's demand for the pay­ ment of £15,(X)0 indemnity for the expul­ sion of Proconsul Hatch.

I drove over to Hastings the other day, and it almost made me wish I was a farmer to see how beautiful tbe country looks. The orchards are ver­ itableboquets of blossoms, and their fragrance at times Is almost overpow­ ering. The woods are rapidly assum­ ing full foliage add the ground in the forests a mass of wild Cowers. Even the newly plowed fields have a pleasant . fragrance of its own, and the whole atmosphere is redolent of tbe sweet odors of spring, so that getting out into the country to com­ mune with nature is just like uncork­ ing a gallon Jug of some fine perfume and scattering the contents promis­ cuously about. The spring Ashing season Is fairly open and every day can be seen parties varying in ages from seven to seventy, with long fish poles over their should­ ers, pushing their way out of town to­ ward some adjacent lake or stream. I have only been out twice, and met with Indifferent success l»oth times, but pome of them are beginning to bring in strings of the tinny tribe worth cleaning and eating.

' Old Ptartationn Cat Up Into Small Farms, Each Worked by a Tenant Who Faya the Landlord a Portion of the Crops. Measured by Mutes. Macnn. comwpoMienee: The tenant syatciu in the cotton belt Is .unique. Before the war the agricultural sections of the State were divided Into extensive plantations—3.000, 4,000, 5,000 aud aomoti.mea 10,000 acres, owned by one man, under a single management, and worked by gangs of slaves, male and fe­ male, directed by overseers, with a “field hand" for every thirty or forty acres, ac­ cording to tho wealth or the generosity of the master. Sometimes they would work fifty acres to a hand, but that was excessive cruelty, aud such planters were universally condemned. That >«ystcm meant 100 slaves for a 3,000-acre planta­ tion, 100 or 100 for a 5,000-acre planta­ tion, and 300 or 400 slaves for 10,000 acres. Nowadays much of the land is allowed to lie idle. Tbe owner retains 200 or 300 acres around his residence the southern part of thia State who main­ tains bis former master and 'mistress in their old mansion just as they lived, al­ though perhaps not so luxuriously, when he was their slave, while he resides in a more modest structure on another part of the place. They are childless nnd feeble­ minded, and one of their delusions, which he permits them to enjoy nud impose upon their friends. Is that they still own theMtld plantation, and that he is their overseer or agent in charge. Farms are not rented by acres and very rarely for cash, and there is seldom any lease or contract or mcmornndumx Be­ tween white and black men such pipers are unknown. The unwritten-^lBws of leasehold are the same all ovcj: this sec­ tion, and have been unchanged since the war. Business follows if universal cus­ tom and is conducted Entirely upon faith nnd the knowledge of tbe habits of men. There are one^ule farms and two-mule farms and four-mule farms. Area is not measured by acres nor by the labor of men, but by the number of mules employ­ ed. . • A negro rents from his old master or his landlord as much land as be can culti­ vate with one mule, and the annual rental is one bale of cotton. If he has two mules he takes as much laud os he can cultivate with them, and the rental is two bales of cotton, and so on. A one-mule farm is usually about forty acres, and a twomule farm from eighty fo a hundred acres. A GEORGIA COTTON GIN. for his own use.-and farms the rest of the place, or ns much of it as he can, ou shares; nnd the extent of ha cultivation is usually governed by the character of the land and the character of the land­ lord. To a large extent the tenants to-day are the same men nnd women who lived upon the place ns slaves; and they culti­ vate the smne roil as.freemen that they did in bondage, some of them being the better and others the worse for the change. And to a remarkable degree the same relations exist between the em­ ployer nnd the employed—the patriarchal system of communism and dependence which is often admirable, but sometimes degrading and oppressive. The uneducated negro is a thoroughly domestic animal, nnd when be once forms an attachment fof a pine© it is difficult to drive him away. Sometimes the rest­ less, wayward ones wander off from the old plantation and arc gone for years, but they will invariably claim a residence there and usually come back sooner or later, and expect to be taken*on *AI * nnd given work again. This rule applies only to those plantations where the people were well treated in slave times and since, and where the property has been retained by the same owners. Often when a place is •old, if the negroes do not like the ap­ pearance or the behavior of the purchas­ er, they will evacuate in a body and build cabins upon the land of some kindlier man in the nelghl>orbood whom they know, or who may be related to their old master. When the tics of personal attachment are cut it does not take them long to move. A couple of men can build a cabin in three or four days with no tools but an ax to hew and trim the wood and a trowel to handle the mortar In building the chim­ ney. It was also the rule for plantations up­ on which there were hard masters to be entirely abandoned during the war, nnd when emancipation came, and many of them have never been repopulnted. There are many farms in the South upon which no negro is willing to work for any wages or under any conditions. Those farms were the scenes of cruelties during slav­ ery and are cursed—tabooed forever. Aud there are certain men who can never hire negro labor. If a negro should con­ sent to work for them he would be boy­ cotted by his race; he would be turned out of the church and ostracized In every way. The prejudices and the vindictive­ ness of the colored people are os deeprooted as their attachments and their loyalty. But after emancipation a large ma­ jority of the shave population in the cotton belt remained in the old cabins or built new ones upon the old plantation, and their children arc now working the lands their fathers and grandfathers tilled, re­ ceiving a share of tbe crop for their labor, or rather, in the way they aro pleased to consider it, paying a share of their har­ vest to the landlord annually for ground rent Some of the frugal and industrious ones have purchased little farms from their old masters and are constantly adding to their real estate. Some have shown such ability and aagacity that they now own A mnn can cultivate more than twice ns much land with two mules as with one, because be has two or three “hands" to help him, and their comblued effort can accomplish more than If they are working independently. Men, women, boys and girls work in the fields together, nnd they plow also with steers, cows aud heifers; but in estimating the rental nothing but a mule or a horse counts. In addition to the land the tenant re­ ceives credit from his landlord, or from some supply store upon the latter's in­ dorsement, to the extent of $4 a month, or $48 a year, for every mule he works. That buys his seed, his ’ fertilizer, his implements and tools and necessaries of life, such as sngar, ten, coffee nnd tobac­ co for bls family. The rest of his food be is supposed to raise himself, nnd he when the landlord rolls his own. It may be in the winter, or perhaps in the spring; but it la a matter of faith. Sotnetinies he rolls out to 111* landlord at current rates as noon as the cotton is weighed, and sometimes he hauls his bales to town GERMANY AND CREMATION. The Crematory in Gotha la the Only One lu the Empire. In Germany -the authorities and the church both refuse to countenance the establishment of a crematory or to allow the friends of cremation to place urns with the nahes of their dead in any part of the cemeteries. Hence the fact that the crematory in Gotha lias remained the only one in Germany to thfs day. It Is but a few weeks ago that a Mecklenburg pastor, having dell fared a funeral oration over tho body of a Mecklenburg leader In liberal thought, the delegate to tbe Reichstag. Witte, preparatory to the incineration of the remains, was tried by the Lutheran consistory of that grand duchy and deprived of Ids cler­ ical honors and functions.

There must be often a Spartan regi­ men, great forfeitures of social pleas­ ures. daily nnd unceasing study and practice, do matter nt what cost of weariness, nnd often irksome labor.

Smith, whom it has been generally known by the Nashville people has been in failing health for the past year departed this life Wednesday evening at about half e.st six, and the news flashed over the wn like wild fire seemingly casting the village in a sad and deep gloom. Mrs. Smith has been slowly sinking since her-return fronj Florida, where with her 'husband they spent the winter, but she had been able to ride rldeoutand be moved around her home until the morning before her death when she was compelled to take to her bed. Then her case began swiftly to car ry her down-and her life was despaired of the entire day, and several times did the report become current on the streets and among the people that the end had come. But her death did not occur until as above stated when her sufferings ceased and she passed Into that eternal sleep that knows no waking. Her demise was caused by a compli­ cation of diseases, which th6 best doctors have tried hard to break but to no avail. The funeral will be held from the residence at two o’clock to-morrow afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. Branch, of the Baptist church, of which Mrs. Smith was a devoted member. The remains will be in­ terred In the Nashville cemetery. The casket will not be opened in the afternoon and all the friends who wish to view the remains will please call Saturday forem-on. Mrs. Smith was born In Royal Oak, Oakland Co, In 1850; her maiden name being Frank Hamilton, and she was married to C. W. Smith, at LaPeer, In 1876, and with her husband moved to Nashville In 18*7, where they have since lived. Mr. Smith first started In the groeery business in Nashville, afterwards selling out the same, and forming a partnership with Mr. H. A. Brooks In the creamery and cold storage in­ dustry, which Is now one of the Nash­ ville’s principal industries. For the past two years Mr. and Mrs. Smith has spent their winters at their Vleasant cottage home in Orlando, 'lorida, and where they have a wide circle of friends who will share equal­ ly in the sorrow of the Nashville peo­ ple In the losing of one ot our most popular and Influential ladles. ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED. James Hatfield and a hired man, claiming Indiana as their home, was in town the past week showing up a new patent separator and fanning mill in the little building on the cor­ ner of Main and Washington streets, for the purpose of selling county rights. They first sold Barry county to parties in town, and later closed a deal withx the John Bell’s Sons and Henry Barnum for the exclusive right to sell said machines , in Eaton and Ingham counties. This did not sat­ isfy some of the parties, and thinking they could see a good thing ahead a deal was later closed whereby thfe J. Bell’s Sons and Barnum were to have the exclusive sale and manufacture of the machines In Michigan, for which they drew up notes to be paid In a few days for theamount after paying $100 down. The same day they grew sus­ picious and thinking that all was not just right stopped payment on the note at the banks, and demanded of Hatfield their contract and notes, which he at first refused to do, and threatened to go to court with the case,but the matU r was finally settled by Hatfield giving back the notes and keeping the $100 for which he gave the rights of Eaton and Ingham counties. FOB NASHVILLE’S GOOD. There is talk of a public gathering or "bee" on some day In the near fu­ ture to gravel the highway leading south from the village, from Clever’s corners to the corporation line, a dis­ tance of half a mile. The road is now in a very bad condition, being deep sand, hard to draw loads through in either direction. A paper is being cir­ culated about town for financial as­ sistance, and a number of Maple Grove fanners haye agreed to give work of man and team to help out the enterprise. The date set Is Monday, the 3rd day of Jane, and it Is to be hoped that enough aid, loth financial and manuel, can be secured by that time to make the enterprise a com­ pletesuccess. The business men of the town can well afford to be liberal in this matter, and we believe they will, while any farmer who drives over those roads four times a year can well afford to give a day’s work to help out The roads on both the good cause, . stretch t sides ofr tl this of sand are good. Let ur have It all good. It’s a good thing. Push It along. THE MASONIC SCHOOL. On Monday afternoon and evening occurred one of the most enjoyable meetings ever held by the Masonic lodge io Nashville. Grand Lecturer Clark held a school of instruction to which was summoned all the lodges of Barry county and several from Eaton county. Officers and members were present from Hastings, Middleville, woodland, Kalamazoo, Vermontville, Kalamo and Bellevue. During the afternoon degrees were conferred by Middleville and Nashville lodges, and in the evening by Hastings lodge. The hall was filled to overflowing, and promptly at six o'clock all sat down to a banquet, prepared by the ladies of the Eastern Star, for which the visit­ ing lodges extended a vote of thanks to the wives and daughters of the Masons for the sumptuous banquet served by them. C. W. Loomis and family, who have been living In C. W. Smith’s house near the refrigerator on Middle street for the pest year, are moving on the farm lately owned by Mr. Howell, which Mr. Loomis has purchased. LOCAL SPLINTERS.

The entire works is shut down, with the exception of the pinto mill, which employs GUO men. Three thousand men are out of em*l«*yn>rat. The company’s plant in Joliet is also affected, about 1,500 men being out there. After the riot nt the mills and tbe arrc4t of twenty-six of tbe ringleaders, an­ other mob of about 1.000 gathered about the police station, and the police were confronted with tbe possibility of an effort on the part of the friends of tbe strikers to rescue the men who were under arrest. Sergeant Van Pelt, who had just return­ ed from the meric of the riot with a small detachment of men. took iu this situation at a glance and ordered his men to dis­ perse the mob. which they did without meeting with nny great resistance. Addi­ tional men were at once sent for, and at midnight a strong cordon of police guard­ ed the approaches to the station at Eighty­ ninth street and Exchange place, while 125 bluecoats stood guard over tbe mills. The trouble all started over the-strike of about thirty barrow men, or ore wheel­ ers. who work at what are known as the south furnaces. These furnaces, two in number, are used to reduce the crude ore to the form of pig iron’ and are wholly in­ dependent of the steel mills. Those men - struck Monday afternoon -because tbe coriTpnny refused to grant them u raise of wages. Tuesday morning they made their appearance in the yards, and. going to the four furnaces at the north end of the works, drove away , all the men there, about 4*0 tn number. Those men. tbe offiii-rs of the company claim, did not wish to strike, but quit work through fear of personal violence. This shut down all the furnaces, throwing about 700 men out of employment. The men who ofc avowedly on strike did not number more' than 125 at most; the rest who-were forc­ ed to quit perform other duties about the rubier.

But tbe recent Introduction of linotype machines, which cast the type Hue by line as fast as It Is set. bus severely injured tbe business of making lx>dy type.

It ia then found that all the dust has been wiped out of the port1* of the cast, which Is thus restored to Its orig­ inal whiteness.

O’Connell’s entry Into political'life was made at Dublin, where he ad­ dressed a meeting of Catholics to peti­ tion against tbe proposed legislative union Itetwecn Great Britain and Ire­ land. In May. 1828, O’Connell took bla seat In Parliament and for many year* thereafter he sat In the same body representing one borough or another. The latter half of O’Connell’s life was occupied in working for the repeal of tho legislative union between Ireland and England. It was while be wa* C’OOSgEt.!?* BJKTHM.ACX., lord mayor of Dublin, In 1841. that he first began to agitate this separation.

Oct 8. A body of soldiery, termed the “repealing cav­ alry," were to be present. This had so military a look that the authorities, fearins, rebellion, declared the peace endangered and ordered all persons to keep away from Clontarf. O’Connell at ouce countermanded the meeting, but this readiness to yield did not profit him nny and a week later himself, bls son and eight coadjutors were arrested on the charge of conspiracy, sedition and unlawful assembling. They were brought to trial and found guilty. O’Connell was sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment, to pay a fine of £2.000 and was bound over to keep the peace for seven years.

Tbe Idea of alx or two inches of snow on ground right here In tho May. rather stumm me. Not but what It has happened before, and even later in the season than this, but it is an unusual thing for such a thing to hap­ pen, and especially since the phenomenonally hot weather of tbe past twoor three weeks. It seems like coming in tbe middle of tbe summer, for it In­ terrupt* weather as bol as we usually have in July or August. And then to wake up as I did this morning and find the earth robed In white, makes me think tbat'thls Is a mighty uncer­ tain old world of late years. W But wasn't It a beautiful sight early Tuesday morning to see the trees and foliage all turned to white, and bending with tbe accumulated weight of tbe damp snow until they all looked like weeping willows. On many of tbe streets tbe limbs of the shade trees were so weighted down that It was impossible to walk along the side­ walks without stooping. How I longed to have the ability to transfer some of the beautiful things I saw that morning to canvas, that they might be retained In sight as well as in memory. I never realized more fully how unutterably sad It was to have the soul of an artist and tbe exe­ cution of a hod-carrier. I have talked with a number of dif­ ferent farmers and fruit growers about the probable effects nf the recent eold snap and snow storm upon growing crop and fruit. The general concen­ sus of opinion seems to lie that the damage done will not be very heavy, though a few think the fruit crop will be mined. Most of them say that the snow will be a good thing for wheat, oats and grass, and many of them think it will not be any detriment to fruit; but there are strong probabili­ ties that the frost of Saturday night nipped considerable fruit. Young grape vines show plainly the results of freeze, white the older vines seem to have come through comparatively unscathed. Some curly garden stuff will have to be replanted, and I un­ derstand that Sam Cassler will post­ pone cultivating his potatoes until he is reasonably certain that spring has i come. Have you ever happened to be over in the vicinity of tbe school house at the hour for closing? It’s astonishing to see the number of youngsters wbo come down cut of that excellent in­ stitution of learning. And it does my heart good to see the bright, happy faces they all wear as they wend their way homeward. May bright futures be in store for all of them. How vastly different It all is than when the Aral school was started in Nashville. How many of you remem­ ber it? The first school bouse stood about where the barn now stands in the rear of T?. L. Glasgow’s hard­ ware. It was a small, one-story structure, containing but one room, and was built of slabs from the old fashioned jig saw mill down by the river. It was a crude affair all through, tbe seats being constructed of slabs, with pins drove in for legs, and there were no desks, not even for the teacher, being that far behind the “deestrick skule” as presented at the opera house by our school last year. The Oral teacher was Miss Aggie Smith, daughter of Lemuel Smith, of revered memory, and now Mrs. C. M. Putnam. Report Jias it that she was found bare-footed by the director who went to hire her, but she made an ex­ cellent’teacher Just the same, and barefooted people were the rule rather than the exception at that stage of Nashville’s development. 1 think school was held Inthat building only through one summer, and that a new frame building was erected early the next spring. I would like a list of the pupils wbo attended that school. Not many of them would be found among the present population of Nashville, though the teacher Is still with us, and as jolly and young in heart as then, though there are faint streaks of silver in her hair. motes all the natural functions and makes a new woman of her.

The Willsons will give one of their famous concerts at the opera house on Thurada* evening of next week, the evening of Memorial day, under the auspices of the Women’s Relief Corps. Mrs. Wilson Is a sister uf the late P. P. Bliss, and sings a number of his songs which have never been pub­ lished.

The line of the Barry County Tele­ graph Association is being extended from Morgan to Nashville, the line bow extending from Hastings to this place, with several instruments scat­ tered among the farm houses along the line. It is the intention to keep on adding to the line until It takes in Maple Grove, Assyria, Woodland, Freeport, and all of the smaller towns of the county. It will be a great con­ venience, and ought to pay a fair in­ terest On the investment. Prof. Alexander Mills', assisted by Miss Bortba Rider, violinist, and Miss Glenns Schantz, pianist, of Hastings, and some of the best talent of Nash­ ville, will give a concert at the M. E. church next Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Epworth League. The price of admission has been placed at ten cents, at which the church will no doubt be filled to over­ flowing. Judging from the numbers on the program It will be a rare musical treat and all should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear something good in the musical line.

So far, investigation falls to reveal the source of the con­ tagion.—Battle Creek Journal. A sleeping car which runs through from Grand Rapids to Buffalo is now attached to the train which goes east at 7.22 each evening, and goes back on the 10.16a. m. train west.

Known to ficieutlsts. The tarantula belongs to the spider family, and the variety found in the Southern States Is classified as a hunt­ ing or wolf spider. The tarantula is the most combative and aggressive of all Insects. The American tarantula belongs to a different family from that of Southern Euroj*-. It is larger and its bite more painful than that of the European Insect it can be relied upon to make any man dance. « Tbe tarantula is a frequent visitor to Nw York. says tbe World of that city, although not a native of these regions. It usually travels with a cargo of fruit from tbe Southern States,. Central or South America or the West Indies. It shows a marked partiality for bananaa.

A Writer In lhe.Kevuc de* Sciences de* Naturrhes makes the following cal­ culations In regard to tbe work done by the honey bee: When the weather Is tine a worker can visit from forty to eighty flowers in six or ten trips, and collect q grain of nectar. If it visits 200 or 400 flowers. It will gather flve grains. Under favorable circumstan­ ces It will take, a fortnight to obtain fifteen grains. It would therefore take It several years to manufacture a pout’d of honey, which will fill about 3.000 evils. A hive contains from 20,­ 000 to 50.00G bees, halt of which pre­ pare the honey, the other half attend­ ing to the wants of the hive and the family. On a fine day 16,000 to 20,000 individuals will,- in six or ten trips, be aide to explore from 300.000 to 1,000,­ 000 flowers, say several hundred thou­ sand plants. Again, the locality hiust lie favorable for the preparation of the honey, and tbe plants that produce the most nectar must flourish near the hive. A hive Inhabited by 30,000 bees may. therefore, under’ favorable condition*, receive about two pounds of honey a day. Keeping tbe Rein* Dry. Drivers are sometimes annoyed by the plunging and splashing the horses make with their notes when driven to the watering trough, wetting the reins nnd splashing water over everything In their reach. . How tide may be pre­ vented ,1s shown in the accompanying Illustration from the American Agri­ culturist. Make a float of any ordl- nary board, of just the size and shape to cover the surface of the water in the trough, into this cut os many holts os you hate horse* to water pt once, of just sufficient size for the"homes- to drink through. Through these they will drink, nnd if the reins are loose, or a halter strap Is hanging down, they will not become wetted in the least The water is kept cleaner by the shield, much of tbe dust and dirt which would otherwise be dropped in the water being caught on the board. Prepare for Haying. Have the mower, the horse rake, ted­ der nnd hay fork In order. If the mow­ er needa repairs have such repaint, done at once-' If extra bolts and knife blades are wanting, they can be got­ ten and put in on a wet day. A few ex­ tra bolts shoilld always i>e kept on hand; also, knife blades and rivets. All such tools should be kept in a dry place, out of the rain and free from moisture.

Salt for Potato**. A dressing of salt on potatoes is good for them while growing as well as when they are cooked. Tho school boy wrote tn his composition about salt that "It is what makes potatoes taste so bad when you do not put any on." The salt should be sprinkled over tho hill after the potatoes come up. The effect of the salt is to make soluble mineral plant food that .the crop could not oth­ erwise make use of. The salt has It­ self no fertilizing properties, but ena­ bles thia crop, which has to make its growth in a few weeks of hot weather, to get more from the soil than It could if the salt bad not been applied.

He eonnaeied them to peace and order, and for a mfiiutc. aud but a minute only, his words were heeded. Then an­ other desperate attempt wa* made to reach the cell* where the two men were secreted. Finally Royce wa* located crouching and- shivering with _ fear. A score of hands dragged him un'ccreDioniously from his hiding place underneath the wooden bench which serves prisoners as their bed. HalLdragg<*d and half push­ ed he was hustled into the dining roqm nnd seated on the table. A rope was placed over his head, and while part of the mob kept close guard over him the others continued the search for Halls until he wa* discovered in another and more remote po^Un of the jail; ' At 3:15 o'clock the mob secured both of the prisoners and *tart«i toward the bridge With ropes alwut their necks. They were hanged almost uj«n tho scene of their crime. Citizens of DanvUla joined the infuriated fanners in their work of vengeance. The atory of the crime had been the topic of discussion all day. Burinee* wns practically suspended and shopkeepess and their clerks gathered in knots on the street corners and discussed'the 'affair with farmers who flocked to the city during the day. Shortly after night­ fall ominous mutterings were heard and some openly counseled the more quiet of their neighbors to take summary ven­ geance ou the perj>et rators of the crime and not take" the chance* of the law's delay or the technicalities which might arise and eventually free the men. As early as 10 o’clock the crowd con­ gregated on the main street, and It only needed a venturesome leader to proceed to the jail at once. That lender was soon found. From whispered threats the cry aroHe for vengeance, swelling on the night air until It Echoed and re-echoed from one end of Danville to tho other. A rush was made for the jail, where, under fear of just such a proceeding, the guard had been re-enforced, but constituted only a hand­ ful of men to fa<*e a frenxied, bloodthirmy mob, wrought up to an indescribable pitch and beat only on having the lives of the nvo cowering men within. Clamoring at the jail doors, the mob wm mot by Sher­ iff Thompson, who denied admission and. retiring Iwhind the doors, locked and dou­ ble bulled tiivBi. Rush for a Battcrina Kam. This action of the sheriff only added fuel to the already blazing fire of indig­ nation. A hurried searrii was made for some instrument with which tq batter down the jail doors. Part of the crowd rushed away, returning in a few minutes with a hemlock telegraph pole, which will­ ing hands gras|M*d a« a battering ram. The atout oaken door* of the jail were con­ structed to withstand any ordinary as­ saults, however, and the efforts- of the mob proved futile until another party ar­ rived with a st« vf mil. . . Sheriff Thomjiton and his men warned the storming |>arty to desist, but were met with hoot* nnd jeers. Tbe little band of defenders wna powerless against the fast increasing moh. and when the furious blows, urged on with vengeful hearts, shivered tho main door, they retreated be­ hind the inner jail. Tho hallway was too narrow to permit effective work with the railroad iron, aud a shorter piece was secured. With this the second door was attacked, and nt 1:15 o'clock.in the morn­ ing gave way before the impetuous mob Which surged through the gap and de­ manded the keys of the cell in which the prisoners were confined. Halls and Royce were thoroughly frightened and cowered in the darEest cor-> nor of their ccill, shivering at the sound of the imprecations on the outside and the victorious acclamations of those who found thraisolre* in jkosscssion of a hith­ erto impregnable fortress. They begged for mercy, but Sheriff Thompson was ut­ terly unable in the face of the determined men thronging the corridor to afford them any relief. In fact, with him discretion had overcome valor, nnd be with his little band retreated still farther before the an­ gry administrators of lynch law. But with their battering ram of railroad iron the mob quickly ^ recked the .interior of the jail, and the *nd was soon over. Thursday evening about 7:30 o'clock Miss Laura Bennett and a friend. Miss Lillian Draper, Were returning from an evening stroll. They were crossing the Vermillion river foot bridge when they were attacked by Halls and Royce. Miss Draper escaped and gave the alarm. Halls and Royce were both well-known young men of Danville, and for several years had borne an unsavory reputation. They were arrested oh complaint of Miss Draper, and further identification by Johu Downs, an old man who met violence at their' hands while endeavoring to assist the girls. iterakip.

Mr. Carlisle pin aged disecUy into tbe *1L ver question, first giving a review of th* coinage Irgislat.on to shoyv that there was nothing enrreptitiong in tk* demonetisa­ tion act of 1373. He said ths question whether we .shall maintain at an equal purchasing power in the markets all th* dollar* in or provide by law for th*, free and unlimited coinage of silver dol­ lar*. each containing 412’4 gram* of, standard silver* is by far the most impor­ tant one that hgs been presented /to th* American people In this generation, and it , tTin- »nl><itutioa of a new unit and uivasnre of value is not an ordinary experiment that can be safely tried to-day nud abandoned to-morrow if found injurious. The immediate conse­ quences would continue to be felt for years after the policy had been reversed. Broadly stated, the Secretary’s argu­ ment focused upon the silver advocates* theory that an expansion of the volume of currency, through—coinage, would tend to raise juices an4 restore the healthy tone of the nation's Industrial and pro­ ductive activities. Mr. Carlisle opened hi* argument with a plea for frank and friendly investigation of the facts of the case. After defining the present financial aituation. he gave a rapid sketch of the country's financial history, which, he says, has taught the lesson that “whenever the coinage laWa of any country permit the free cuiunge of both metals with full Icgal-vnder qualities at a ratio of value which does not conform substantially to their intrinsic or commercial ratio In the markets of the world, both kinds of coin cannot be kept in circulation at the same time." Mr. Carlisle followed hi* elaborate de­ lineation of the impossibility of sustain­ ing the parity of the two metals under free coinage with an argument upon which he laid much stress. In hi* view unlim­ ited free coinage without international ac­ tion would not increase t*he amount of money circulation sufficiently to overcome the decrease due to th* withdrawing of gold. The farmer or the laborer would not enjoy the benefit of an increased cir­ culation with n consequent increase in prices. He would have a kind of money with about half the purchasing- power with which the present dollar 1* endowed and which, on tbe other hand, be would bo compelled to accept at Its face value in payment of his wages or hi* commodities. What Secretary Carlisle would have is a system whereby silver might be used In the currency under such restrictions as would insure the full parity of every dollar with every other dollar.

All the unusnal measures, such as the anti-treating bill and tho bill designed to regulate nnd restrict the ’ lobby, died also, although Mich was passed by one of tho Iwdlrs. The capital pun­ ishment and- the woman’s suffrage bills were other important bills which went info the waste basket. ~ Important Bill Goes Through. • Considerable Imiwrtant legislation was ■enacted, however. The educatora.of the ■Btate scored a victory in having the com­ pulsory education law. so strengthened that all children between tbe ages of 5 and 14 years will henceforth be obliged to attend school at least four months every swhool year. The penalty for a violation -of this law is such that parents and guar-dishs will not seek to evade tbe statute. The Reform latv provides that all teachora in city schools must..hold certificates before they can teaeb, the penalty being the forfeiture by offending districts of all primary school interest money. The most itnportant enactment affecting the prison is one establishing the parole aystem of dealing with convicts. This • bill was given immediate effect, and Gov. Rich proposes to put it Into operation- by the paroling of a Uumber of convicts at ■once. It Is believe^ that this law will go far toward solving the problem of convict labor. . The pure fowl laws of the State were also greatly strengthened and an appro­ priation of flti.OOO made to aid in their enforcement. The factory inspection law was amended so as to give the inspectors increased powers and to absolutely pro­ hibit the employment of children under 14 years old in any of the factories of the Stale. Tiie law was also made explicit and exacting relative to the use of ele­ vator gates, blower*, and other appliances designed to protect the lives aud health of the employes.

Bls Father Wus Sheriff of an lad Isms County. . Walter Quinton Gr«.»hasa was born March 17, 1032, urar Lsnesvil)*, Harrison Gouqty,* Ind. The Greshams are of Eng­ lish anerriry. His father. William Gresh­ am. was sheriff of the roust?, and was killed in the diadkarge of his duties when Walter was but two years old. In bis boy­ hood young Gresham did the usual work of a farmer’s son and sthdied bis books at night His education was gained by the hardest kind of work and self-denial. H* went to tbe district school, and when be was Hi years old be had an opportunity to attend the Corydon Seminary. He got a clerkship In the county auditor’s office, aud this helped him to pay his board and school expenses. After two years at the academy he spent one year at the Bloomington .University. On his return to Corydon he secured a place in the coun­ ty clerk's office. There be studied law un­ der the direction of Judge William A. Porter. He waa admitted to th* bar when 21. years old and began practice at one*. Two years later he was stumping his dis­ trict for John C. Fremont, the first presi­ dential candidate of the Republican party, with which organisation Mr. Gresham hnd always allied himself until 189£ when he declared himself a believer in the Democpitic barty. In 1856 he married Miss Matilda McGrain, a pretty Keplucklan, whose parent* moved to Corydon when she was quite young. On the er* of forming a law partner­ ship at Indianapolis, destined to lead to fortune as well as fame, he read Lincoln’s call.to arms and paused In.his negotia­ tions. Tbe Union was in danger. Repub­ lican institutions were on trial. If such ns he placed self before country what would become of the country? Young Gresham grew more and more serious, and never having served in the militia passed all hi* leisure in studying military tactics. His young wife, not yet 22, with a girl baby two months old and a boy of 3 tugging at her skirts, knew what was in the mind of bcr young husband, and watched him with fear in her heart. Sum­ ter was fired on in April. The following September Gresham felt that his hour bad come. Personally brave, he was a bit of a coward when his wife was concerned, , for he knew what a sacrifice she would make In giving him tip to probable death. Gresham commanded a division march­ ing through Georgia and was terribly wounded at Atlanta. Ho was carried off the field and conveyed to Nashville by s' roundabout way to avoid falling into th* hands of the enemy. Thirty miles of th* journey were made in an ambulance. Im­ agine the agony to the man who had had an inch aud a half of bone shot away. So fearful were the roads that the stone had to be cleared away before the ambulance could proceed, and then it was at the risk of the general’* life. Mrs. Greshnmfmet her husbapd at Nashville, Strangely enough, as she arrived at tbe door of th* St Cloud hotel Gen. Gresham was car­ ried on a stretcher through the back door. It was a fight for life. Their next move came to a sudden halt in New Albany. Tbe wounded man could go no further, and thus the Greshams became residents of Louisville's Indiana, suburb. For ten months Gresham did not leave his bed. After he got out of bed he was five year* on crutchc*. He went into the war a stalwart of 28; he came out a wrect. Six years later, at th* age of 34, he found Potato Calc s.

Through Eight. A test was made recently with the new Lebcl carbine, at Moulins, France, which yielded surprising results. A bullet from one of these rifles was dlsclmrgod at an advaiiclng bull It struck the animal's shoulder and came out at the crupper, completely traversing the bull's body; the Urge Ixmea were pierced with round boles without tq.llntering. It Is believed that the bullet would have passed through eight men WHERE W.Q. GRESHAM WAS BORN, IN HARRISON COUNTY, IND. band. Iler daughter nnd son-in-law stood with bowed beads at the side of the couch. At 1:15 o'clock his breathing ceas­ ed; a peaceful shadow passed over his pale countenance; his pulse flickered, and the sorrowing family were iu the pres­ ence of death. One of the nurses con­ veyed the news that the end bad come to the physicians in the next room, and they Iu turn brought it to the watchers in the reception room. President Cleveland was immediately notified. ' Pneumonia Causes Death. Four weeks ago Mr. Gresham was at­ tacked with what was looked upon as a light attack of pleurisy, but it refused to yield to treatment, spread from one lung membrane to the other, and finally devel­ oped into severe pneumonia. His condi-tiou after that time was extremely criti­ cal. His heart action became enfeebled, requiring tbe constant administration of thr most powerful heart stimulants. One or the other of his physician*. Drs. John­ son and Prentiss, or both, were constant­ ly with him. Hi* pulse reached 100. and *U ao feeble that it could barely be himself lamed for life, with an Impaired constitution. Judge Gresham was a candidate for the Republican nomination for- President in both 1SS4 and 1888. In 1888 he received 111 votes on the first ballot; his vot« roc* to 123 on the third ballot, and then dwin­ dled to 59 on the eighth and lost The People’s party in convention nt Omaha July, 1S92, practically offered Judge Gresham its presidential nomination^ which he refused. Judge Gresham was considered the ideal candidate by the Pop­ ulists because ot bls lifelong opposition to tyranny, oppression and injustice of any sort. Judge Gresham’s final departure from the party at whose birth he had assisted came in the last campaign. He announced his intention of voting for Mr. Cleveland in a letter dated Oct 22. 18»2, and ad­ dressed to Major Bluford Wilson, who waa solicitor of the treasury under Grant.

Ever since Prof. Koch stort|ed the world by promiainif to cure consumption with the Koch lymph and hia complete failure to do so. the people have been looking for sone discovery which would prove an absolute, certain cure for that djead disease.' Over a quarter of a century ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting phybician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in n claim for a medicine, which he had discovered and used, in his extensive‘practice, that would cure ninety-eight per cent, ofall cases of consumption when taken in all its early stages. Time has proved that his assertion was based on tacts gained from experience. His "Golden Medical Discovery “hascured many thousand people in all parts of the world, and Dr. Pierce invites all interested to send to him for a free book which gives the names, addresses and photographs of many prominent people who have willingly testified to the marvelous curative proper­ ties of his “Golden Medical Discovery.” He has also written n Book of 160 pages on "Diseasesofthe Respiratory Organs, "which treats of all Throat. Bronchial and Lung diseases, also Asthma and Catarrh, that will be mailed by the World's Dispensary Med­ ical Association of Buffalo, N.Y., on receipt of six cents in stamps, tq pay postage.Consumption, as most everybody knows, is first manifested by feeble vitality, loos of strength, emaciation ; then local symp­ toms soon develop, as cough, difficult breathing, or bleeding from lungs when investigation proves that tubercular de­ posit* have formed in the lungs. It is earnestly advjsed that the "Discovery ” be taken early and the latter stages of the disease can thereby be easily avoided. To build up loliSJieth and strength after the grip, pneumonia, ("lung fever”), ex­ hausting fevers, and other prostrating dis­ eases. it has no equal. It does not make fat like cod liver oil and its nasty com­ pounds, but, solid, wholesomeJlesh.

This base makes the street gas lights look like pin heads with a corresponding reduction in illuminating power.

Singularly enough, these fogs do not rise mortc than 200 feet above the ground and from the top of the dome of St» Paul the city ia hidden from sight by the va|>or that enshrouds it. Tbe duration of fogs vary. A few hours of Sunlight are sufficient to dissipate some of them: again they lost a fortnight. The most depress­ ing are those caused by the west wind, which conveys the smoke from the burn­ ing of soft coal from a million chimneys to the eastward in a long train sometimes extending thirty miles. Suddenly the wind changes and this vast volume of smoko ia driven back over tbe city, where, reinforced by that emitted from the chim­ neys, settles over and constitutes the greatest drawback to living in the city.

It is so thick you can scarcely discern a person through the glass partition on the doorway. While one fare gives you the best on the ele­ vated, you must choose from three classes ou the underground. The beat is much in­ ferior to the elevated, and the atmosphere between smoke and the foul-smelling lamps that furnish a sickly light is any­ thing but agreeable.

The Colima's Boiler Burst. The latest Intelligence regarding the dis­ aster received was in cipher message to a Kan Francisco shipping firm Containing the statement of Third Officer Hansen, who was in charge of the boat picked up. -Hansen stated that about 11:15 at night as rhe Colima was about fifty miles from Manzanillo, and between that port and Punta St. Almo, an accident occurred to her machinery. Hansen had not time to investigate the trouble, but believed a boiler had bund. The Colima was put about, but began to sink rapidly. A scene of wild confusion followed. One boat was lowered and most of the others swung out. but so fafeas Hansen knows tbe boat he cotumanaed was the only one which got clear of the sinking ship. It quickly foundered, and to avoid the suction Hansen’s boat quickly pulled clear, ami tho night being dark, it was im: possible to tell whether the other boats got away from, the ship or not. The Colima was a single-screw propeller with iron hull.* She was built In 1873 at Chester, Pa., by John Roach & Sons, Her tonnage was 2.909.64 gross. 2,143,85 net. her horsepower-1,100 and her speed eleven and one-half knots. This was her one hundred and twenty-ninth voyage to Pan­ ama. She carried about 2,000 tons of cargo and was valued nt *103,000. YOUTHFUL SOLDIERS. field of peace, as the cortege of the dead Secretary of State filed in through the gates into the cemetery. It was a remarkably fitting climax to the remarkable ceremonies which hnd 'just closed that the remains of-1he man who claimed the allegiance of both tbe North nnd tbe South should be deposited there, the keystone to the arch of re-ce­ mented friendship whose visible sign had just been unveiled there. For ns a soldier ho had won the respect of those who fought him: as a jurist he hnd gained tbe lore of the common people, and as Secre­ tary of State In a Democratic administra­ tion he bad commanded the support of the people of th® South as well ns of the North. The special funeral train arrived from Washington in the afternoon. The proces­ sion wai formed, headed by the escort of honor, consisting of the troops of all arms from Fort’Sheridan. These were follow­ ed by the honorary pall-bearers, and next came the funeral ear with the active pall-. l>earcrs walking on ••itfier side. Next rode the members of the late Secretary’s family and the Presidential party, and In the rear of the cortege brought up the members of the I-oyal Legion, G. A. II. veterans, judges of tho courts, State and municipal officers, civic societies and citizens. The entire line of march was crowded with people who respectfully hared their heads as the cortege passed. Arriving nt the cemetery chapel, the casket was removed from the funeral car and borne within by •eight sergeants of marine* The services conducted by tbe Rev. S. J. McPherson, of the Second Presbyterian Church, were impressive but simple, con­ sisting merely of scriptural -readings. There was a hymn by the choir and prayer. The remains were temporarily deposited in the receiving vault of the cemetery. No salute was fired, the cere­ monies concluded with “taps." The train had been held and the Presidential party returned to'it and at once started on tho return trip to Washington. FAIRMON IS FIRST. OflQcially Declared Winner of the Chicago Road Race.

Growing Movement to Establish Mil­ itary Drill in the Schools. The movement lately inaugurated to train boys in the public schools In military tactics is meeting with great success. Tho boys have named themselves the Ameri­ can Guard, and those of New York and Brooklyn on Memorial Day. paraded to the number of 10.000. All over the country the military drill movementjs meeting with favor, and the srfiools in most of the cities, as well as in many ot tho nnalk-l- towns are getting Into line in favor of .the innovation. The question hns become one of national im­ portant. and has already been taken up in Congress, as well as In the legislatures of most of the States. Tho Grand Army of the Republic is really behind the move­ ment to give some soldierly discipline to the lads in tbe public schools throughout the country. Although the national movement is a new one, military instruction in the pub­ lic schools has lt«ng beqn practiced In some cities. In Boston the system has been thoroughly worked out, probably, and there the “Boston School Regiment" MARCHING TO THEIR OWN MUSIC. numbers about 1,500 uniformed boys. In New York nnd Brooklyn the movement is making rapid strides. The American Guard hns been formed from the battal­ ions of the public schools, and each bat­ talion has its number and place in line. As in'Boston, th$y turn out on special ^olidaySj and Jigre been the feat^c of more than one big parade of real soldicra.' In Washington, Cincinnati, Columbus. Des Moines, Omaha and scores of other smaller cities and towns the Idea is mak­ ing headway. • That military drill is popular among tho schoolboys is evident to anyone who sees the lads at drill They willingly give up part of their pla y hour to take part in It, and the competition for officers' positions is keen. -One baa but to look at tbe air of pride with which these youngsters wear their neat little uniforms to appreciate their feedings. In most of the schools only the larger companiM are uniformed and equipped, aud there are one or two com­ panies composed of the smaller and un­ trained boys, which correspond to a drill squad, from which the ranks of the regu- Freight cars with every modern im­ provement and capable of earning aixty Two bi/ claims against the Stanford esomised. less than the prices of 1892.

Of a deeply religious and reverent .na­ ture, it seemed to her a sacrilege to dream oTbrenking it. Wave after ,wkax£ of thought rushed over her heart and mind while the soft tone of her husband's voice sounded like a soothing melody iu her ears. Wearied and tired, nnd exhausted by want of sleep and grief, the violet eye* closed gently, nnd Lady Hilda for a time forgot all her ■arrow*. Ixird Bayneham saw that she had fallen ■sleep; he closed his book and watched <he fair young face he loved so well. Half an huur passed, and then a change came over the slx-x-per.

Happily the morning was bright; the sun shone as though shedding a last blessing upon tbe broken-hearted woman who was never to see it more. Happily, too. tbe countetiK .asked her son to drive her over to'Uralnton Hall, so that Hilda found the greater part of the day at her own disposal.

Th.cre was no one to note how she stood sptqc little dis­ tance from the grave.-lunging and wish­ ing that she, too, could be at rest with her beautiful, unhappy mother. So they laid Magdalen Hunt to rest. Qf all th<.se-whb had loved her in her fair youth none were present The sun shone brightly upon her grave as it had done on the l>onny woods ot Brynmar, when she met her fate, so many years ago. Some weeks afterward a plain gray stone marked the spot. It bore no name; she had wished it to lie so; but that lonely grave wa* watered jvith bitter tears, shed for her who, after life's fitful “I am not nt all satisfied with Hilda's state of health,” said Lady Bayneham to Barbara Earle.

"I gave plenty aw<y during the late earl's lifetime, but I cannot endure sor­ rowful sights; they make me ill.” "We will hope’ Hilda’s nerves are strong­ er than yours,” said Barbara. "I do not think the cottages weigh upon her mind; but 'she is really ill, and- should have a change of air." . Ixirtl Bnynehatii Imtne seriously alarmed, and summoned one of the best physicians In England to his wife's aid; but the doctor Was puxxled too. “You tell me,” he said to the earl, “that Lady Bnynehnm has had no trouble, no grief or anxiety preying upon her.” “I do not think she knows the mx,-xining of grief or sorrow," said Lord Bayne­ ham, smiling at the Idea; "whatever else may ail her. it is not that?* With all bis skill, the doctor could find no solution to the mystery—no reason for the -weakness and languor that wore away the life of his beautiful patient. He advised change of air, and Lord Baynehamwas prompt In action. By the made, and tho earl with his young wife had begun the journey that he thought waa to restore her to health and strength. “The month of blossoms," "sweet maid­ en May,” came round again, bringing all most worthy of note—men of letters, artisto, poets, statesmen, In-auties and Ix-iles —to the great city. Ixmdon was in its pride. The season was n good one, ami everyone looked busy, prosperous and happy. In the drawing room of one of the pret­ tiest houses in May Fair, Lady Grahame sat with her friend, confidante and com­ panion, Miss Lowe. The bouse was not a grand mansion, nor was the drawing room one of the most sumptuous, but everything ip it spoke of refinement and elegance. Lady Grahame herself was mure elegant than beautiful. No one knew her age; and, what was still bet­ ter. no one could guess it. She might be looking old for thirty, or young for fifty. Her dark hair was as luxuriant a* ever; ruses bloomed on her cheek and Up; there were light and fire In her dark eyes, and uo wrinkle or line marred the pleasant, comely, face. She waa tho only child of a country squire, and early Iu life had married Sir Wilton Grahame, a baronet of noble descent, and through him was connected with some of the bes.t families in Eng­ land.

Now I will leave you. Y’ou will perhaps sleep, and I have to drive over to luineham to-day.” He held her in his arms before be went away, and kissed her jaile. sweet face, murmuring words of love that filled her heart with a pleasure that was keen pain.

The line of march was first down Washington to Queen street thence south on Queen to Sherman,.then west to State, south to Mill, west to Main, north to Washington, then east on Washington to the.school building, where they formed.In a.half tircle sev­ eral columns deep around a stage which had been erected In the maples for the occasion. Here the exercises began by the school singing “lied, White and Blue," after which Glenn VanAuktir recited “National Injustice,” which received iueritous applause. The recitation, “America,” by Miss May Putnam, which followed, was very line; the school then sang “The Star Spangled Banner;’’ Miss Ida Burgman, dressed to represent Columbia, and Chester Messimer, dressed in a gorgeous sultof stars and stripes to represent “Unde Sam,” unfurled the big new school flag, which had been neatly rolled up and pulled to the lop of the flag staff; the school gave a three’cheers, and Miss Lulu..Allerton recited “The White Bordered Flag," and the exercises closed by the school singing “Anjerlca." The out door exercises closed, the school fell in line from the opposite side from which they formed the half circle and marched in twos to their respective rooms, after which they were dismissed for the forenoon. It was only about eleven o’clock when the forenoon’s work was over and the larger percentage.of the scholars spent the remainder of the forenoon in lounging around the grounds and 11stening to the music of the martial band. In the afternoon the rooms were all thrown open to visitors, who fairly swarmed into the building until near­ ly every ’room was crowded. At In­ tervals of about thirty minutes a gong was sounded and a short program was carried out In each room, after which the crowd again l>egan to sway and push through various departments, viewing the pretty decorations and what is more remarkable, the work accumplished by the pupils of The different grades, as displayed in profuse quantities. Never for one minute did the crowd diminish from the opening of the building at noon until the closing al live o’clock in the evening, and ail who attended feel oaid a hundred fold for their time and attention, anff’tbe town at large as well as a majority of the people of the surrounding country, speak in glowing terms of what our schools are doing. It Is really remarkable; asoneentered the primary department, a bewilder­ ment of paper chain work, drawings, and hundreds of other things, all cleverly done by the little ones,-some of whom can scarcely talk plain, met your gaxe. It was all pretty and one hardly knew where to look tlrst; and the more one saw of the work ac­ complished by the little tollers, and learned of their ages it seemed the more remarkable. Miss Feighner has really accomplished some wonder­ ful work iti tins, tlie flrat department of our schools, and we doubt it an in­ structor could be obtained for this de­ partment that could bette'r master and train the little ones under her charge. Misses Cora llowlader- and Fernle Lentz make admirable assist­ ants in this room. Next wedropped into the second pri­ mary department, presided over by Miss Allie Martin: another young la­ dy, that is growing a glowing reputa­ tion as a kindergarten teacher and trainer of the young Intellects. Her room was very prettily decorated and the work upon exhibition was good and well earned Its share of the hon­ ore of the occasion. Miss Eugenia Downing’s room, the Intermediate, was next in order; the chief feature of this department being the map drawing work by thcscholars, and Miss Downing takes great pride in her scholars for their excel­ lent work in this line. Many of those viewing the work could hardly believe that it was done without placing their paper oyer otheV maps and drawing upon the lines shown through the pa­ per, but this is not the case as the work is not the case as the work is dally done In the room, under the In­ structor's watchful eye. The room was also tastily decorated wit.ii flowers. We then ascended Xhe stairs to the next department, the grammar room, presided over by Miss Alice McKInnis, an able and faithful teacher,- and who has done much good work for the Nashville schools, and who we are to lose from our schools after this term, as she goes to new fields of labor in the Cedar Springs schools. Her room was tastily decorated and the work upon exhibition was up to the high stand­ ard of the school. Next In order came room B. of the high school, there was not much to see in nere, except some very pretty dec­ orations. \ From here we visited room A. of the school: here we found decorations ga­ lore and knotty problems in geometry, philosophy and lots of other things all figured out and explained uoon paper, and of which there seemed to be an endless lot.

He’s the man my wife hired to prevent me hav­ ing any more fun.” Mark then ex­ plained that Isaac opened all his let­ ters and invitations, wrote answers, which In die case of invitations always consisted of regrets, and then burned them.

Swelled by the heavy rains until its banka couId no longer withstand* the strain, Curtis Lake burst from its restraint, and Monday’s sun shone upon a rjdlry of desolation through southwest Nebraska. Thousands of dol­ lars' worth of railroad property has been destroyed, miles of meadows that covered tho earth with a .carpeting of green are now a muddy waste, dotted with wrecked buildings and drowned live stock. Xo lives were lost. Must uf the damage Is to crops where the fields were flooded. The first intimation Curtis citizens had that the locality was threatened with dis­ aster was the bursting of the lake’s banks with a roar that could be heard several miles, and a wall of water ten feet high rushed down the valley, carrying every­ thing in its path. Houses, freight cars, lire stock and a mountain of debris were caught np and dashed about like feathers. The fine roller mills which oepupy the cast side of*the great ravine received tlx? first shock of the torrent nnd the building was -mined. A few hundred yards bedoW the mills Medicine river-passes under the rail­ road'tracks of the.Burlington. When the flood struck this narrow defile Its progress was iut|»eded, but .only for an instant. Then the heavy embankments gave way and the wall of water rushed through, cut­ ting a path 100 yards wide. The railroad company's loss is abpnt $25,000. As the wall of water psiwe-1 beyond the city it rapidly spread out over an immense territory, nnd its powers of drafructioft were correspondingly decreased. The damage, however, was merely sfiifted, as the extensive alfalfa mea<lows for many miles to the south were flooded several feet deep, and nil details from the south whore the torrent pa used indicate very ex­ tensive damage. FiiTOi prtxlucts of every description were engulfed anti in ninny in­ stances where the homes of the farmers were in the .immediate vicinity of the valley the disaster was almost ruinous.

As early as 0 o-*clock the different congressional dele­ gations began holding caucuses in the rooms of tbe capitol building for the pur­ pose of selecting committees on creden­ tials, rules, permanent organization and resolutions. It was after 11 o’clock when tho committees concluded their work and then a stampede was made to get desirable seats. The hall was arranged in regula­ tion gala attire, bunting and flags being draped In reckless profusion. Over the entrance two immense flags were draped. The galleries were filled as soon os the doors were thrown open, a majority of the occupants being ladies. Chairman Hlnrichsen, now the acknowl­ edged leader of the silver faction, scored the President in the beginning of his speech opening the convention. So rad­ ically did he express himself that the gold men declared he actually read the Presi­ dent of the Uuited States out of the party. This strain was a popular one. Every time a speaker censured the President tbe denunciation was echoed by cheers and applause from the body of tbe conven­ tion. Ex-Congressman William J. Bryan, ot Nebraska, took up the denunciation where Hinricbscn left off and the eonven- CONVENTION IN SESSION ed that the sitting delegates bo declared the delegates of the convention. The re­ port was adopted. The committee on rules favored those used by last summer's convention. This report was also adoptedWhen the committee on permanent or­ ganization reported ex-Judge 8. P.

The delegates shout­ ed for the president of the Iroquois Club all the time that Judge Crawford was putting tho motion to concur in the report of the committee. Ex-Congressman Nich­ olas E. Worthington, of Peoria County, Free P. Morris, of Iroquois, and Judge' Bell, of Hamilton County, were appoint­ ed n cotnnrtttee to escort Judge McConnell to the chair. When he ascended the plat­ form the umbrellas and silk bats of tho Cook County men again went into the air. When the applause given the Chii cago lawyer had died away Mr. Crawford introduced Mr. McConnell. Without de­ lay he began his address to’the convention. It was warmly, even enthusiastically, re­ ceived. He was applauded frequently, and at times so long thnt the'delegates lost the thread of the silver argiment which Mr. McConnell made. The convention was full of political sen­ sations. The greatest excitement came just before the adjournment of tho con­ vention. The passionate speeches had all been made, and the Democrats, who filled every chair and the aisles of the conven­ tion hall, were ripe to indorse the action of the resolutions committee. Ex-Con­ gressman George W. Fithian’ was chair­ man of the committee on resolutions. Resolutions Adopted. Mr. Fithian in a dear voice r<?ad the platform. Several times during tbe read­ ing of the declaration for free coinage he was interrupted while the convention went into transports ot enthusiasm. When finally he pronounced the words 16 to 1 the delegates jumped from their seats and threw their bats Into the air. For fully fire minutes the uproar lasted. The first outburst died away only to make way for another. The resolutions adopted by the convention and read bj Mr. Fithian were as follows: principal money metals of the world for thousands ot years, nnd silver money is recognized «nd u»ed as honest niouey be­ tween Individuals and between nations notwlthstandlnr the varying ratios between sil­ ver and gold; and.

In Chicago every day the mercury climbed up to the 00 mark, and several times took a peep over the top of the glass. Not since the bureau began regulating tho weather had the correaponding week let loose so much caloric. The excessive heat was due to the south wind, the scorching breath from some Mexican inferno that so often sweeps across Kansas and Nebraska, leaving death, destruction nnd mourning in its track. The record shows a remarkably high temperature from on early hour and a striking drop during a shift in the wind. Chicago did not get the worst of the heat,- for at Indianapolis, Louisville and Charleston. S. C., the thermometer reg­ istered 100, making the first century rec­ ord of the season. It was OS at Washing­ ton and Norfolk. Va. Tbe maximum of DO was reaelied at Detroit, St. Louis, Springfield, III., Cairo, Nashville, Mem­ phis and Cincinnati. Now York, as usual, played n second to Chicago, with only D4. Boston had a lucky day, having a sea wind which kept the record down to 00. At 7 o'clock at night Ohio nnd east­ ern Indiana were still sweltering under a temperature of 90 to 92. The Rocky Mountain region was enjoy­ ing compensation-for the suffering of laSit week. Beyond Iowa and Minnesota the temperature was down -to GO or below. In Colorado and Wyoming it even went ss low as 50. There were general rains, with more or less thunder, in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado, and those sections will probably get more showers later. This is likely to prove the longest spell of wet weather the arid section of the West hns bad for years. Cairo and Nashville also reported showers.

I have dreamed that I lay dead there." CHA1*TEK XXIII."Will you go with us, Claade?" asked Ixtdy Bayneham on the following morn­ ing. "I am going to take Hilda to call ou Lady Grahame.” • j "I should be <tolighted." he replied; "but I bare n gentleman—Mr. Fullon—coming on rather important business; I must therefore defer the pleasure.” .

"1 nm glad yoa’are come. Mr. Fulton," said Lord BayaAham. courteously; “we will go Into the Library, ns we shall re­ quire iw.ns and paper for our calcula­ tions.” ‘, Tbe visitor followed his young host. Was it chance that directed Lord Baynebum there? The library was n grand n{>artm«-nt: its chief ornament was a magnificent picture hanging over the man­ telpiece. It was the j>ortrnit of Lady Hutton** ward, taken by the celebrated artist. Mr. Seaton, and valued by Lord Bayneham above all other treasures. The summer sunbeams fell slanting u|w>n it, lighting the golden hair and beautiful face with a bright radiance. It was a face to dream of, so pure, so fair and lovely. The violet eyes and sweet lips *miled at you; the tender.^innoceht heart, the guile­ less. loving nature, sweetness, constancy and truth, were Imprinted on, ever/ fea­ ture. Tbe sunbeam was not brighter than the sheen of the rippling guide* hair. As Mr. Fulton entered the library hfa eyes fell upon the picture, and it startled him so much that he uttered a low cry. He went up and stood before it. He asked hiu»*elf was he dreaming or awake. The room, Ix>rd Bayneham, and the pres­ ent faded from him ; he stood in Brynmar woods, under the cool shade of the green trees, the lovely face blushed at hfa passionate woods, the fair young head drooped beneath hia gate. He was there wooing Magdalen Hurst in the opening of her fair youth and beauty. It was for bat a moment, nnd something dimmed the eyes that had long been dry. He started: what, q-as he, Paul Fulton, senti­ mental?—going to cry because a beautiful picture resembled .bls dead wife, making a simpleton of himself for a painted face? "You admire that painting." said Ixird Bayneham; “it is considered an exquisite gem of art.” “I—1—once knew some one whose face resembled this," stammered the visitor. “Indeed!” said Lord Bayueham. quiet­ ly; "ahe must have been very beautiful, then.” "She was," replied Mr. Fulton: nnd then there came ncrosa him a vision of hfa dead wife's face us be had seen it Inst, white and worn with the misery aud anguish of pain, deeper than death.

With such a swing­ ing trellis as that shown herewith ten­ der grapevines or other tender climbers may be laid upon the ground and care­ fully covered during the winter, then placed upright again when the cold weather is passed. An arrangement la here shown by which the poultry, grain and hogs can be brought Into proximity—an arrange­ ment calculated to lessen the work of caring for both kinds of stock, tor both are. to no Inconsiderable extent; fed on grain. The plan calls for a story and a half building with two wings— one of the wings for the accommodation of bens and the other for the bogs, pens for each being arranged along the sun­ ny aide, with n walk extending tbe length of the other side. The central grain building has a chamber where a part of the gralp can be stored in blns, the la<t6r having chutes to convey the grain to the first floor. If this central building can have a cellar, so' much the better, for in this can be stored roots and vegetables for tbe use of tbe fowls and bogs, the cooking of these being done In a boiler set on the first floor.

Level Potato Cut tn re. Almost everybody now agrees that level culture produces tbe largest and best crops of potatoes. But It is imjxNMlble to have level culture unless tbe seed potatoes are planted deep enough for the tubers to form under the solL The constant tendency of the tubers te to rise as they grow. This, if tbe seed has been planted only one or two Inches deep, makes it necessary to draw dirt around tho bill, making a mound which sheds the water on either side. This also cuts the potato roots In the middle of the row. It requires dry and rich ground to make successful deep planting and level culture possi­ ble. But soli without stagnant water near tbe surface is always necessary for the potato crojg If tbe sub-soil Is filled with water through winter and spring It is Impossible to grow good potato crops on such land the following season by any method. • DEVICE at home. It Is astonishing how much fruit of all kinds can be eaten by a small family when tbe supply Is un­ stinted. There are few neighborhoods where those who begin by growing a supply of strawberries for home use will nor find a market springing up around them from neighbors who keep on In tbe old rats because they think they haven't time to attend to such small affairs as tbe culture of berries. They are small in size, but more bushels of strawberries can be grown per acre than of any kind of grain, and the fruit may be sold cheap and yet bring more than grain profits.

DON'T DRESS LIKE WOMEN, Much comment has been caused during tbe week among bicyclists and hi religious circles by the sermon of Rev. Kittredge Wheeler, pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church, Chicago. The words that arous­ ed tbe discussion were: ’ “In discussing this subject I slmll hardly venture to touch upon the butyne cos­ tume, for the' reason that if 1 were ad­ dressing a company of cyclists In tho lat­ est and most up-to-date unifora. I would be in great doubt ns to the sex of my audiouce. I will, however, venture a sin­ gle suggestion to wheelmen who are males, and not wheelmen who are females. “Here is the suggestion. See to it that your costume .Is as masculine as possible. Distinguish and emphasize your sex in some way. Wear a mustache, let your beard grow, or sew upon the back of your costume three big, red, capital letters. “You have no right to Appear on tho streets in a costume worn by females. If there be only two costumes suitable for bicyele riding, the single, closed skirt nnd the knickerbockers, I say to the men, ‘He gallant, let the women have the choice, and if they take the knickerbockers, do you take what is left. Be a man nnd put on the skirt.’ Make it universal and let tbe public understand it. This will dis­ tinguish the ses on the wheel. Remem­ ber, I am speaking only to men. Never dress like a woman, not even oa the wheel.” / Judson Hannon was stvorn in Tuesday as Attorney General by Justice John M. Harlan, who is an old friend of the new official.

Ho recently os ten years ago was brought to nn end the life of Gen. Gordon, than whom no man more brave, more cour­ ageous aud more admirable has ever been seen. Ten years ago the city of 1883 tbe Mahdi's forces had gained for­ midable proportions. One by one the strongholds of the Khedive fdl Into their hands, aa did many held by the. English. At last Gen. Hides was sent against’the Mahdi with a strong regi­ ment. Tbe followera of the False Prophet surprised them and a horrible masKacre followed which scarcely any Englishman survived. Gen. Baker, who was marching to Hicks’ assistance, was next attacked, three-quarters of bls mm wrrt slain aud hr himseU nar­ rowly escaped to a gunboat, whence he auadc bls way tn England. When this news reached England It -caused the greatest possible consterna­ tion. The Governmeut saw Its bravest troops slain; its best commanders cut down and knew that unless something were done to hinder the Mahdi’s ■vic­ torious advance the country must Ibse nil hold In tbe Soudan. There was just one man to whom the Government could turu; this was Gordon; on hb shouders'mmrt rest the whole responsi­ bility of maintaining England’s glory. Gordon Bccvp**d tbe mission, and In January, 1884, went to Egypt*and Irisurvly proceeded to Khartoum, tbe chief dty in the Soudan. He was received with loud acclaims, the people crowding about and. proclaiming him as tbelr savior nnd deliverer. He proceeded to THE FORT AT KHARTOUM. Khartoum fell, and in tbe ensuing mas­ sacre was put out that noble and beau­ tiful life. Charles George Gordon was born In England In 1830 of well-to-do parents. His father was a soldier and one of a family of soldiers; bls mother Is said to have been a woman of humorous aud cheerful disposition, which traits she certainly, transmitted to her son. Gordon followed iii his father’s steps and received *>milltary training. Not much Is known of his school days aud we are told that he never displayed more than tbe average talent His first military service was In the Crimean war, in which he served with great courage aud received rather a severe wound at Sebastopol. He was next dispatched to China on an expedition sent outjjy England and he remained there some years. It was at this time that Gordon began to come prominently forward iu Ids profession. China was'then engaged in trying to put down the Tai I’jng rebellion which threatened the national Hfc. He threw himself heart and soul Into tbe Chinese cause and was In 1863 appointed by the Em;»eror commander-Th-chief of the army. For two gaged in vigorous warfare and ai the end of that time found his efforts crowned with suc­ cess and the rebel­ lion suppre-iunl. OEM. OOBDON. The delighted Emperor conferred on him high military HP tank and invented him with the yellow jacket and the |>eacock's feather—the mightiest In honors in tbe imperial gift It was from these circumstances that be was nick-named “Chinese" Gordon, a title which be •became known by much more than by bls own name. Tlie next important event tn Gordon's life was an expedition to Central Africa under the Egyptian Government Gor­ don's life in Africa was most interest­ ing. His bravery and courage made stjch an impression on the natives that they regarded him rather as some god than as a man; his constant effort to put down the slave trade excited their ki*enest admiration and the deep relig­ ious motives of the man, which were the mainsprings of his whole life. Im­ pressed the Africans even more than bls military genius. Gordon was made pasha by the Khedive and a few years later England made him governor gen­ eral of the Soudan. During bis term of service he continued Ills warfare against tbe slave trade, be effected many reforms In the way of lightening extortionate taxes and dismissing un­ just officials and. finally, he put dow*n several formidable rebellions. His reputation among the natives for jus­ tice and courage Increased aud when, iu 1880, he finally resigned hta iwst take command of the city and to bring something like order out of the con­ fused affalni of the jieople. The Mahdi, meanwhile continued his onward course and made for Khar­ toum. Before he knew it Gordon found himself shut up in the city which the Mahdi now besieged. Encouraged by Gordon tbe city made a noble resist­ ance, but soon the people were reduced to a most desperate condition. Famine broke out; sickness follow edin its train and Gordon saw himself in desperate straits. He sent appeals, pitiful In their distress, to the home Government praying for relief; but statesmen and ministers delayed and disputed, and it was not till the last of the year that help was sent him. Gen. James Stew­ art and a force came near Khartoum early In 1885, but only to nject the ene­ my In desperate conflict, in which Stew­ art was killed and 12 per cent of his men slain or rendered Incapable of fighting. Khartoum had fallen the da- before their advent, ns reports months after­ ward showed. G onion had attempted to dislodge tbe Mahdi nnd failed. Then came the news of the approach of tbe reserves and tbe Mahdi determined to storm the city before their arrival. A colleague of Gordon’s, Ferlg Pasha, wanted him to give up the place; Gor­ don became very angry and a violent discussion ensued. Meanwhile the distoftes in tho city Increased and Gordon was at his wit’s end what to do. The suffering, the doubt and the dlfllculties of that strong soul can be better Imag­ ined than described; the hope of rescue, the heart-sick feeling of despair were all bls. Sir Charles Wilson and Lord Charles Beresford next attempted Gordon’s res­ cue. They approached by water and PALACE AT HHAETOUM. reached Khaftoum ou the 28th. Gor­ don’s Hag was no longer to be aeon, and so they turned back without finding out definitely what the condition of the city was. But it could not hurt. A few days later aud the Mahdi overpowered the small force of defenders and entered the city. A terrible massacre was at once inaug­ urated nnd thousands iterhtbed. In the general slaughter Gordon was killed, though how Is not known to this day. The accounts are most conflicting and all that is certain Is his death. Even Couldn’t Make Out the " Skip. A Cornish miner, just from tbe cop­ per fields ' of the Peninsular State, strayed into tbe Chicago Chamber of Commerce one day lent week. He watched the elevator for a moment then followed several others In and was ‘•dumped’*-at the top floor. After satisfying his curiosity he began to think about going down. In Cornish mining parlance the re­ ceptacle In which ore or rock Is hoisted to the surface is called a “skip.- The signals are given by a system of layers, cords and bells. This new “skip" with no lever in sight puzzled “Cousin Jack." He accosted the first man he met with, “Ow do, my son. deep shaF edwaF Not noticing tbe blank face of bls noncomprcbt'ndlng friend, he continued, “ ’Ow'H I get daown?

Heavier crops ciiu be produced in deep, rich soils with tbe long-rooted varieties, but In thin Roils the shorter kinds give by far tbe greater yield. An Excellent Hen's Nest. The accompanying illustration, token from the American Agrculturiat. shows an easily constructed and very excel­ lent movable hen's nest which is fitted with a device which permits tbe ^ggs to i>e gathered from the outside of the hen bouse. Tbe nest boxes hove no backs and are bung by books against the wall, as seen In Fig. 1. They can be taken down and emptied in a moment, in this way avoiding all chance of .har­ boring vermin. The opening In front should be just large enough for a ben to enter. An alighting pole may be placed in /rent of the neats. If there is a passageway nt one side of the fowl bouse, or a room adjoining it. the nests Early Spring Crop*. can be hung against the partition, nnd the eggs gathered from the outside without going into the pen. Let round holes be cut behind each nest In the par­ tition. and these openings covered by a slide as suggested in Fig. 2. The same arrangement could be used upon the outer wall of a hen bouse standing by Itself. Progresa of Agriculture. The average of wages has risers GO per cent since 1870, and at the same time the accumulation of urban wealth per head has been 70 per cent, more than in the i>eriod from 1850 to 1870, which shows that the rise in wealth and the increase of wages go almost hand In hand. But the farmer has neverthelew a corresponding advantage, for bis life is a healthier one, tbe statistics of mortality allowing that the death rate In American cities, cspecally among children, is greatly In exptum of that of rural districts. Tbe farmer may make money more slowly, but be has a safer and less agitated life, and his children grow up around him In ofQuence and comfort The census of 1890 showed that tbe United States had 4.565.000 farmers, the aggregate value of whose farms, cattle and Implements summed up 15.982 millions of dollars, giving to each an average fortune of $3,505. most of these men having begun on a capital of a couple of hundred dollars. Tlie number of new farms created since 1860 has IxM-n ‘4520,000, bringing into cultivation 195.000,000 acres, aud the greater part of this work has been done by European settlers. In fact. If the United States had no urban population or industries whatever, the advance of agricultural interests would be enough to claim the admiration of mankind, for Early crops, such as asparagus, strawberries, etc., that can lie sold in the spring and early summer, usually pay much better tlion stuff that is rais­ ed for the fall and winter markets. Tbe great majority of farmers grow crops for the lute markets, which makes competition keen and prices low, says the Farmer. More early truck is grown each year, but It will be a long time be­ fore tbe spring market is as well sup­ plied as the fait Fostmaster Gcnertd Wilson delivered the annual address to the students of Cen- .Secretary Herbert delivered the oration at the rommenremeut of the Alabama Ag­ ricultural aud Mechanical College at Au­ burn.

It was burned down and »..built under Charlemagne. It shored the vicissitudes that marked tbe ca­ reer of Italian cities aud had its full share of reverses as well as triumphs. During the civil contests between the Guelphs and Ghibellines it suffered se­ verely, yet it increased In power. Then tbe Medici struggles were fought out in her midst, much to the detriment of the Florentines. During tbe period of the republic Florence was In the zenith of t>er greatness. Her Indomitable en­ terprise made her wares salable In ev­ ery part oft’he world nnd brought rich­ es to her lap that made her the envy of rivals. Her wool, silk and gold bro­ cade monopolized the markets and made the makers wealthy. This stream of gold became so great that Florence was transformed imp a banking cen­ ter and every movement In Europe looked to her for funds. TThen a de­ cline followed the Invasion of the French, and upon tbe seat of empire being transferred from Turin to Flor­ ence iu 18(15 a new Impulse was given In the six years that Victor Emanuel directed Italian affairs. During that epoch the Tuscan me­ tropolis was endued with the belief that It was to be the permanent capi­ ta' of united Italy. Tbe population locreased 30,000. and the prospects of the kingly town were all that could be desired. But tbe withdrawal of the French troops from Rome was follow­ ed by its occupation by th* national WERE SHAKEN BY THE world and is 300 feet high. The inte­ rior of the cathedral Is disappointing after one gazes upon Its handsome and Imposing proportions on the outside nnd is devoid of ornamentatioh nnd the adjuncts that make European churches so attractive. It was commenced in 1298 and required 138 years to build. Across from It is the Baptistry of San Giovanni, octagonal in form, which Is treated in the delicate colors reflected by tbe church and campanile. The m-coud church in size and importance Is Santa Croce, which has eleven chapels nud wherein is buried Michael Angelo. A third is that of San Lorenzo, which was consecrated by St. Ambrose in 3Kl and rebuilt in 1425. It contains the tombs of tbe Medici rulers. In 1358 n plague set in which carried off 100.­ 000 of her people and which threatened to end forever the career of tbe city. Florence plumes herself upon the ex­ tent, variety and richness of her nrt galleries known respectively as Plttl and Uffixl, boused in palaces from which-they take tbelr name. The for­ mer is credited with having the finest colectioti of picture's tn the world, nnd after one has journeyed through its numerous passageways and attempted to do justice to the treasures which hang on the walls the contention Is un disputed that the Louvre in Paris Is out­ matched. Connected with.lt by bridge is the Uffixl, a gallery only second in extent to the L’itti and which has, be­ sides Its valuable paintings, sculpture, bronzes, engravings, coins nnd mosaics iu bewildering variety.’ One can spend months in feasting on these rare and beautiful works of art and then fall to exhaust the ccjlection. The Loggia del Lanzl, near by. bt an open vaulted hall filled with the classical figures of the artist’s chisel which arc eagerly studied by tbe visitor. There are many palaces In Florence, some of the mure noted being those of Vecchio, Plttl. Riccardi, and Strozzi. Iu tho first tho Italian Parliament held Its Mttknuk while not faraway Victor Eminauuel made his abode In the Plttl. The Riccardi has an extensive library, and the Strozzl lx where King Joseph Napoleon held court during bis sway oveg Italy,> Perhaps there are a hun­ dred of these once luxurious establish­ ments in Florence, most of which are found in the most unprepossessing por­ tions of the town. They were built as fortresses with embattled front and sides, occasionally with towers, and the material used wns obloug blocks of freestone. The middle was used for a courtyard. To-day most of them are occupied by poor jM'ople who find shel­ ter lu the gloomy walls nnd who care nothing for the grandeur that once made them the rallying point of tbe been standing for Ove centuries. On the aides of tbe mad way are jewelry shops and places where knick-knacks can be. purchased. The quaint and ancient articles offered for sale as well as tbe historic.interest attaching to tbs structure make it n resort for tourists., Tbe Arao ia navigable only for light craft and for weeks at a time Its bed is dry. The prolonged hot weather dries it up and for miles its bottom of pebbles can be followed without dis­ covering a trace of water. Florence has an air of solidity that marks a northern city with alt tbe beau­ ty that distinguishes, a southsrli one. Her streets are level, wide, clean and run' at right angles. Tbe business blocks are chiefly of stone and are put up to stay with the centuries. Every­ where there Is a substantial air and tbe Inipress of a thriving and energetic city. More than twenty squares break the monotony of the street line and are adorned with statuary and other orna­ ments that please the eye and instruct the mind. Tbe evidences of her triumphs In the past are reflected in the Incom­ parable treasure houses of art which the centuries were taxed to supply and which have wrought Incalculable good In elevating the artistic tastes of all susceptible to its relining Influences. Rubel, the French Actor. Not a few groat men hare risen to eminence In spite of overwhelming physical defects; but far more n\re are the cases In which ugliness has In itself proved a stepping stone to success. Rubel, the actor, who has just died in Paris, at the age of 78. owed his first start in the legitimate drama to bis strikingly plain features and diminu­ tive stature. Forty years ago he was the humblest of music ball comics at the Funambules, yhen Offenbach dropped in one evening, noticed his 'grotesque physiognomy, and offered him an engagement nt the Bouffes. When "Bsrbe-Bleue” was produced, and a peculiarly hideous face was re­ quired for the part of tbe Queen's lover, Schneider cried oui: "There Is only one man In the world who can play It. and that is IlubeL" But Instead of bclhg flattered the poor little fellow was mor­ tified. and positively declined to be cast for the character. He migrated to oth­ er stages and worked to the last, filling only a month'ago the prompter’s box at the Theater de la Republlque.—St. James* Gazette. Jews and Spaniards Contrasted. The political decay of a nation does not necessarily Imply the radical decay of tho Individuals of which it Is com­ posed. The, Jews, for Instance, arc probably more vigorous and numerous than at any time during their past his­ tory, and have preserved, tn a marvel­ ous degree, their racial characterictlcs. Perhaps the struggle for existence which they have carried on while dis­ persed rmong other nations has In­ creased rather than diminished tbelr pristine vigor. The example of Spain shows how a nation may degenerate; but whether this may be due to the emigration of tbe most capable Individ­ uals at the time of tbe discovery of America, or to the selective action of the Inquisition, whose 340,000 victims were probably among the more ad­ vanced thinkers of the nation.

Intcre*t in the (ild-Timc Patriotic Festival Awaken* Anew. The revival of the Fourth of July is a sign of the times. All over tbe broad land the interest in the old-fashioned, patriotic festival is awakening anew, and thia year every sizable village in th* Unit­ ed State* resound* to the cracking of the miniature bombs which John Chinaman has taught us to use for expressing our joy. A new thrill of national pride is running through tbe people; aud it is followed by a desire to manifest that pride. Fourth of July furnishes exactly the chance to give vent to the feeling of exuberant energy— the mysterious tendency to expansion, nnd the old self-assertive fever. The un­ controllable desire to-“hear th* eagle scream” shows that the nation knows its strength and means to use it. We menace nobody, but we mean .to “gang our ain gait.” without paying mndb attention to objections or obstacles.

"Nothing of-the kind," said Lady Bayueham, trying to allay tbe tempest she had aroused. “She very likely never thought of naming it at all; she cannot run to’yoq every time any one either speaks or writes to her." "Then why have you named it?” asked Lord Bayneham? Impatiently. “If there is nothing wrong, extraordibary, improp­ er, wonderful, or anything else in It, why did you come to me?" “Claude, I quite despair of you.” said the countess, haughtily. “I have explain­ ed my motives. Your wife b young, beautiful aud untrained tn the worfd’s ways; it Is your place to warn her, and see that her very innocence and simplicity do not cause her to act Imprudently." Ix>rd Bayneham sighed; he was not quite dear as to what bli mother really meant. He saw one thing plainly; she was not actuated by any unkind feeling toward Hilda; but, before he had time to reply; Barbara entered, her face glowing with exercise, and her hand filled with choice fern leaves. "See, aunt.” she said, touching Lady Bayneham's face with her frosh red lips, “I bare found all these treasures; they will make your collection complete. Good morning. Claude; you took—well, not onehalf as bright as the morning." For the first time she noticed the uneasy expression of both faces. “I am sorry to hear Hilda is not well this morning." she continued. “Pauline tells me she has not left her room; so I Isidy Bayneham bad been thinking—a mental exercise she did not often indulge in. This world fur her was but a path of roses, in which ahe had found few thorns, nnd she had nothing much that required thought; bnt this night, when a young heart near her was breaking with sorrow, Lady Bayneham could not sleep, for she was thinking. She knew the world well; Its strange wayk were old legends to her. She had heard many stories where a handsome, accomplished man of the world prided himself upon winning the liking of a bttintifnt young wife. The whole artil­ lery of flirtation was a well-known buslneaa to Lady Bayneham. If a note had “If you are not otherwise engaged, bom clandestinely slipped into Lady Bayneham'* hand, she would calmly and Claude," said Lady Bayneham. as Miss quietly hove torn It In pieces before the Earle quitted the room, "perhaps you will with his initials and those of his wife en­ twined. "Hilda’s bracelet!” cried Lady Baynethat com® here? How careless to drop a valuable piece of jewelry like that! Is It injured?" she continued, for‘tier son did not speak. “Hpw strange that it should hand. “Why, Claude, Hilda wore this last evening; I saw It on her arm when Np reply came from tbe young earl; but a strange dark took' gathered over uls handsome face, marring its beauty with "She must hare been out this mornins," said Lady Bsynebdm; "yet Pauline said she had not quitted her room. Can there “We must inquire," said Ix>rd Baynehsm sternly. This bracelet was on my wife’s arm when I bade her good night; this morning I find it here; who baa dropped It?" ‘ . For a moment the mother and son look­ ed steadily at each other; then Lord Bayneham turned to re-enter the house. In the ball they met Lady Hilda's maid­ pretty, smiling Pauline—who dropped her most coquettish courtesy before the young carl. "Is Lady Hilda down yet?*’ asked the countess. "My lady Ims been indisposed all the morning." replied the ruaid^'she has not yet left her room." “Has she not been in the park?" asked Lady Bayneham. quickly. "My lady Is ill," said Pauline again, •with a took of astonishment, “and has •not left her room.” “Hush, mother," said tbe earl, when the maid had passed on. “Ask no questions from servants. Hilda will explain it. and we shall find no mystery after all. If She is dressed we will go to her room.” ’•Perhaps you had better go alone,” said Ijtdy Bayneham; "if there has been no robbery it Is all right. Since Lady nervous." "I prefer your accompanying me. moth­ er, If yon will." said Lord Bayneham; "in your eyes I read a half doubt of my wife. Come with me. that I may show you how groundless it is." They went together up the brom! stair­ case and through the corrido/Ho the door of Lady Hilda’s room. A sweet, low voice, that expressed both priin and fatigue, bode them enter. Lady Hilda had risen, and waa sitting In her little boudoir, the un­ tasted breakfast on a table by her side. Ix»rd Bayneham forgot his errand when he saw her pale face and dim eyes. “Have you been P.’. Hilda?" he asked, anxiously. “Why did you not send for me?" "I did not sleep." she replied, looking with some surprise at her visitors, “and my head aches. Do you want me for any­ thing?*’ she asked, “or is this a morning call?" She tried to smile, but Lord Bayneham saw her pale lips tremble; then he remem­ bered his errand. "We have been puxried," he replied, with a smile. "I have been for a walk with my mother this morning—quite a good boy, you see. Last night, when I left you. you wore this bracelet; it was fastened on your arm. and thia morning 1 found it in the Lady's Walk, and you have not quitted yodfrroom. How came it these. Hilda?" . He held it out as he spoke, and a long, low cry came, from her pole lips. “Look!" cried Lady Bayneham, nnd Claude, springing forward, caught his wife as she was falling, pale and sense­ less, to the ground. “There is your answer,” said the dig­ nified countess, as she rang the bell. "Take care, Claude. It seems to me that there is a dark shadow hanging over our house. Why should she faint? There was nothing so alarming in your words." (To be continued.) Don't Twist Yonr Syllables. The unconscious exchange of sylla­ bles Is n form of mls-speech to which moot of us are occasionally subject, nnd tbe remarkable words thus evolv­ ed cause considerable amusement to the quick-witted listeners. A certain young lady who, to her in­ tense mortification, often reverses her vowels thus, says she Is entirely un­ conscious of It, even after speaking. One Summer evening she waa saun­ tering with a friend toward the village postoffice of the little town where they were staying. On the way they en­ countered on acquaintance with a handful ot letters. "Ah. good evening,’ she said, in her peculiarly gracious, suave manner. “Are you strolling out for your mole?" The mystified young woman mado some Inarticulate reply and pasted on. As soon as the friend recovered her gravity site gasped: “I frappoM you In­ tended to ask Miss May if she was strolling out for her mall?*’ The same young lady was relating a sad story of various misfortune* which had over­ whelmed a dear friend.

Six men were killed and t«m hurt Thurohss visited Minneapolis since the eld Tribune balldikg conflagration, when the five-rt-xy brick building at 24U and 243 First avenue south, iu which waa the Mac­ Donald crockery store, was destroyed. The fire broke out at 11 o’clock and burst forth with a sudden vtoleuca which .tottod restraint Tbe building was full of trfrarw used in packing the china and the fiamea fed upon this and swelled to gigantic pro­ portions. The/ leaped above tbe walls and, rolled in wavts of fire over the roof. The entire fire department of the dty was called out and heroic measures were used by the firemen to stay the terrible tide. I First avenue and Third street were filled with spectators, who watched tbe awful sight. Suddenly while they looked ths south wall tottered out and fell with a sudden crash. A murmur of agony went up from the throng who had but a moment before seen a squad of firemen run into rhe alley with a quantity of hose and turn six streams of water on the walls and int® the windows. Sixteen men were tinder that wall. When they were dragged out six were dead and others seriously in­ jured. .The property lose consisted of the entire demolition of the.buildlng occupied by Mc­ Donald Brothers, dealers In crockery, chinaware, glaskware, silverware and gas fixtures. The-building was of fire stories, brick walls and wooden interior frame­ work, and was well stocked. The fire originated In the loxes and packing etored in the rear of the building and was beyond the power of the fire department to con­ trol. At a few minutes before midnight the walls fell, one side wall falling In and the other falling out into the alley, where the firemen were at work. The loss will aggregate over $200,000; insur­ ance unknown. The first evidence of the coming disas­ ter was the discovery of smoke from the rear portion of the building at 10:40 o'clock. Several alarms were turned In, on® from the engine house only a few hundred fret from the fire. For nearly half on hour fire burned within the walls and roof-of the building. It broke out first on Che alley nearest Third street, at the door near tbe rear. The firemen could clearly see that th® flames were under full headway in the back part of the building, near the ele­ vator. Al! this while the front was still dork, only a slight escape of smoke from the doors nnd windows betraying the fierce conflict of the elements withlu. fto the great store stood for fully twenty min­ utes, a vortex of flame within and a cold and dark exterior. The firemen themselves in their efforts to get their streams to ploy upon the flames opened the building to currents of air that changed the suppress­ ed fierceness and sent its tongues through tbo roof and the windows, casting a lurid light on tbe surrounding scene.

A t the last infernattousl grand lodge, held in Des Moines, there was a spirited contest for the honor of the grand lodge this year be­ tween Sydney nod Boston. There are now established no toes than eighty-five grand lodges, with over 13.000 subordlDote lodges and temples, and the interna­ tional supreme lodge is composed of rep­ resentatives from these bodies. Tbe rit­ uals have been translated Into sixteen' different languages, and Its strength is shown by a membership of 246,346 adults aud 52,747 juveniles In th® United State*, alone, while England, by the Inst reporta, has 207,106 adalls and 10(^.744 members of the juvenile branch, and British North America, a membership of 36,030.

The doors of the lodges arc open to persons of all rare* and nationalities.and th® members are in effect banded together for mutual protec­ tion and co-operation in total abstinence work. The ritual is largely made up from Scriptural texts and has been trans­ lated into eleven different languages. The Good Templars’ organisation was the first of nil temperance bodies to recognize woman as fully tbe equal of man in the work of the order, and there is not the slightest doubt that it is largely due to this that its growth was so immediate and has been so constant. One of the moat interesting of all Good Templars is Dr. Oronhyntckha, the,Cana­ dian Indian, who for some year* was the, world’s Good Templar, nnd was succeeded at the Inst grand lodge by Dr. Delos H.

Nominated by the Kentucky Demo­ crats for the Governorship. P. W. Hardin, of Mercer County, was nominated for Governor by the Kentucky Democratic State convention at l/ouisrille Only one ballo| was necessary. Hardin receiving 466% votes, against 368 cast lor Cassius M. Clay, Jr., his only serious opponent. Sixty-nine scattering votes were cast, three-being for Hepry Watterson and three for Gov. Buckner, but they were entirely complimentary and thrown by .delegates who objected to Hardin's position on ‘the financial ques­ tion but did not care to vote for Clay. The financial plank adopted was somewhat of a straddle. It reaffirmed the Chicago platform of 1892 nnd added commenda­ tion of the President and Secretary Car­ lisle for their wise and statesmanlike management of public affairs. Tbe mi­ nority report was amended by the silveg men to read simply as an indorsement gf the Chicago platform. Congressman Clardy declared that he would nut-support a ticket nominated on any other platform than this. Beyond adopting the platform absolute­ ly nothing was done xt the day session. The disorder nt all times was great, and once dr twice it seemed like there would be a fight Both Clay and Hardin made speeches after the result was announced. Clay” urged the party to vote for his com­ petitor, saying the State could not afford to pass under Republican control. He declared himself for “sound money and Grover Cleveland."

They are an easy­ going, improvident class, spending money freely and looking little to tho future.-This indisposition to provide for “the rainy day" makes them careless of the effort iwlng made In their behalf. Tho dues of these 6,000 members of tbe association amount to $1 each per an­ num. Tho $6,000 paid in dues does not go fur. Tlie city of Binghamton gave the association 1U0 acres of land, worth $50,(MM), and about $15,000 in cash. Thou, numerous donations were made by ‘wholesale firms throughout tho country.

Earl Rosebery was offered the office of prime, minister by the queen on March 3, 1894, Mr. Gladstone having offered his, resignation on account of his failing eye­ sight. Ix>rd Rosebery had occupied the position of foreign secretary in Mr. Glad­ stone's cabinet and had been prominently considered for ten yeara past os the proba­ ble successor of Mr. Gladstone in the leadership of the liberal party when the time for the retirement of that gentleman should come. • About the only objection urged against the appointment as premier was that the leader of the party should be a member of the house of commons sod that the party cannot be managed .from the house of lords. Ix>rd Rosebery, upon assuming the premiership, took tbe place of first lord of the treasury in the cabinet and .called the Ear! of Kimberley to suc­ ceed himself as foreign secretary. The leadership in the house of commons was intrusted to Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who retained his place in the cabinet as chancellor of the exchequer. The-retire­ ment of Mr. Gladstone was considered a severe strain upon the government, and many persons looked for the defeat of tbs liberals and the resignation of the cabinet at that time. RESULTS IN TWO DEATHS. The result of the accident on the whale­ back steamer Christopher Columbus on a voyage from Milwaukee to Chicago Satur­ day night was the death of two men, fatal Injury to another, three seriously scalded and seven slightly burned. Tlw accident wns caused by the bursting of a steam pipe. It was the homeward run of the whaleback iu its opening summer excur­ sion to Milwaukee.. About 350 souls were aboard. Flying flags, with music and dancing, was the order of the evening. The accident on the Christopher Co­ lumbus, according to the engineering au­ thorities, is one of the unaccountable things that occasionally occur in steam plants. A cast-iron pip.- eight inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch­ thick suddenly cracked around its entire circumference under a steam pressure of leas than 165 pounds, after having pre­ viously stood a test pressure of 255 pounds to the inch. Tbe stories of the accident being caused by straining in a race with the Virginia are denied by every officer of the Columbus. The circumstances, as related by the boat’s officers, were as .follows: The cylin­ ders of tbe engine were entirely new, and it would be destructive and dangerous to run them at high speed until the parts wore dawn. Two representatives of the engine builders were on board and con­ stantly reminded the engineers not to use speed. Chief Engineer Webster says the speed was ninety revolutions, whereas the boat has made 130 a minute, aud steam pressure was 1G0 pounds to the square inch, while tbe government allows 170. Captain RobertJSmijh rays that he had reckoned the speed just Ix-fore the explo­ sion ana it was about sixteen miles an hour. The whaleback has made twentyone mlleji an hour. As further evidence of the fact that there was no race the statement is made that,the Virginia had passed the whaleback and was two miles ahead. Rich gold fields have been fonnd on Ca'pte Paul Cbaudrou de Brialles, head of a well-known champaigue firm, is dead at Epernsy, France. John Brown was killed by T. B. Bacon during a dispute about a team of mules near Emporia, Kan. ■ Jean Grenier, of Minneapolis, Minn., has disappeared at Montreal. He had $2,000 in a belt on his body. Mnu Mary McCoy was struck by a Burlington train at St. Joseph, Mo., nnd so badly mangled she will die. The distinguished guests who sat around Chauncey M. Depew's table tbe other night should look out for-trouble “in their midst." Chauncey himself would take the office If all the other candidates were incapacitated.

The yelping nowl of a coyote produces a strange impression on the mind of one who hears It for the first time. As long as a coyote Is beard to express himself In long-drawn howls, uttered at Irregular Intervals, ft Is a sure sign that no game is In the wind.

Then it is that one coyote will make as much noise as a large family of *cur dogs; and a dozen reciting Id chorus will create on up­ roar that could not be equaled if a flock of mad geese were shut up with a whole regiment of bound pups. The strangest part of it is that the coyotes, when giving these morning concerts, dp not stand still-and look solemn; bnt whirl round and round, and roll, over and over, and leap wildly into tbe air, their antics resembling very much the gyration* of the aian with a bumble bee up his trousers leg. Hi* Savings. A horny-handed workingman In Meriden, whose wage* have never been over $2 a day, has saved $0,000 from them, whioli he keeps at interest in the savings bank.

Tbe word in that household from mornlug till night, at breakfast, dinner and supper, must have been scrimp.

It is right for one to feather hi* nest, but wrong to stuff It so full of feathers that Its occujiant cannot breathe freely.

AMERICAN FARMERS VICTIMH. Annually Sold to Them. An immense amount of poor seed is sold to American farmers and gardeners, ac­ cording to a rejiort recently Issued by tbe agricultural dejmrtmeut. While other countries have been looking into the sub­ ject with n view to protec^pg their agri­ culturists from abuses, no investigations have been made in>the United State* ex­ cept at a few extrerimeutal stations. Great apathy prevails, however, among purchasers, who, ns a rule, buy the ehea]»cat seed in the market and trust to luck fur it to produce the crop. Such seed, ►ays the rvjwrt, is dear at any price and the principal source of the hosts of bad weeds, whose eradication costs vastly mon- than the few cents a pound extra which good need would have cost. The re|n>rt makes the charge that American seed ha* acquired a poor reputation in foreign countries, in some of which it i« difficult for it to gain a foothold through prejudice. Speaker M.nyer Dead.

A bright idea struck Runnion. He hod a splendid, competent boy In the elevator. He removed that competent youth to another field nnd hired another boy—the worst tbat h* could find. The boy knew nothing of an elevntot and did everything wrong. The first time Storey got into the elevator with the worthless boy he started the ma­ chine too soon, and almost caught the great editor in the door frame. Had he succeeded It would have ended Storey’s career. Upotr arrival at the top floor Storey ordered the dangerous youth discharged, ft was done, and the old elevator boy was sent back until a fresh victim could be brought In. The next ’Doming a now anil clumsy eleyator^dy was discovered >y Storey and promptly told to go. The morning following Runnion fed the great edijor another. Now and then a boy would last two days, but the rule waa five a week. • Storey would Immolate a quintet of elevator boys each week, and with that he would rest content. It was a good thing, anil kept him off the regular force and restored tranquility among the hired men. But It was a bit rough on the boys.—Washington Star.' FIELD ON FIRE TWO MONTHS. TWO-STORY CARS OF PARIS Peculiar Pbcnctncnon Near Indianapoli*—Wa* Once u Swamp. A field which ha* been burning cea«elewdy for two month*.is tbe remarkable phenomenon presented by a farm adjacent to the vlllag* uf Maywood, near Indian­ apolis. Thl* field is not a towering Vesu­ vius but i* rather a valley, and from Its ■irr[>est part comes the smoke that some Iwlieve is the precursor of a worse flam* that may reduce the village in the number of-houses it not in the number of persons. Two month* ago smoke wa* seen com­ ing from the ground on a lowland spot of tho Campbell farm. It wa* thought strange by those who saw it, but it wn* beliov^u to be nothing more than th* smoldering remalns.of some fire. But day after day tho smoke ascended.#r blew a great distance, dinging, although treach­ erously, to the ground. After a week or so farm bands passing the field saw flames mingling with the smoke. They in­ vestigated and found the dry grass and black earth on fire.' Stick* were driven Into the ground and it was discovered that for a depth of from two to four feet the earth wns absolutely reduced to ashes. The- field in which this pe«.-uliar fire is burning ia a bottom field of black earth that shows clearly its vegetable origin. Those who have lived nt the village for years say that twenty year* ago the field was a swamp, seemingly age* old, atd that •it wns years before even cattle could b* suffered to tread it in seirreh of pasture food. Recently attempt* have been inad* to cultivate it, .but none was made thl* year. The field looks-as though a giant mole had gamboled under its surface, for it is ridged with tunnels, whose upper aides sometimes assume the prominence of miniature mountains. The manner in which the fire i* breaking out is evidence of its subterranean origin. So complete has tbe dost ruction of the earth and grass been in the district patches that the little portion* where yellow, withered grass may be look like oases in a desert.

Think as be would, Ix»rd Bayneham was iw nearer solving tbe mystery; mi he went out Into the park, wandering If the ‘ fresh air would give him any inspiration. As l»e strolled listlessly iikmg, Simpson, the head gamekeeper, saw him, aud drew near, as though desirous of speaking to him. “What la h. Simpson V asked Lord Baynehnm, listlessly, annoyed at .ths Iri, ten-option. “I a tn afraid we shall have some trou­ ble. my lord." replied tbe man; “I have •een one or two notorious poachers about lately, and I feel sure thdy ’have been Bt tbeiy old tricks. 1 was in tbe park all. last night, and I wanted to ted your -lordship, but I saw yon here walking with my lady, aud 1 would not interrupt you." “Saw me here*” said the young earl; “where, and at what time?” “It would be after ten.” replied the mat:. “Yon were In the Lady’s Walk with my lady. I saw her face, but not yours, my lord; I did not like to Intrude." Not by one word or look did Lord Bayneham betray his wife. . “Quite right,” hr said, hastily; “but wbat about those poachers? I do not be­ lieve in the game laws, as some of my neighbors do, but I will bare no poach­ ing.” Simpson then entered into details, of which Lord Bayneham never heard one word. ’ “I will attend to It. Simpson; we will have no poaching." said Lord Bayneham. suddenly interrupting the astonished gamekeeper in the midst of a brilliant •• description of the poaching affray at Hiilsmecr. But not one word he had uttrred yras heard by his young master, who was all impatience to find himself once 'mo re with his yonng wife. All the way home Lord Bayneham was pondering on the one question—who was walking with his wife after ten-at night, when she was supposed to-be in her own room? Could it have been Mr. Fulton?— no, the Idea was simply ridiculo ia Mr. Fulton might have admired her. might perhaps have addressed some complimen­ tary verses to her; but, under tbe Earl of Baynehnm's own roof be would not dare to solicit an interview with his wife. Even had dae the audacity to proj»o*e such a thing, it was not likely that the fair, inno­ cent lady' of Baynrbam would consent to such- a proceeding. Whoever was with his wife must have been a stranger, not one of those within bis own gates. The mystery must be solved; she had refused to tell him the contents of the notes: but lot that pass—most likely they contained little but nonsense. She would not explain the finding of the bracelet: that. too', might pass, but she must tell binfwith whom she Walked and talked at night and nlon£ When Lord Baynehnm entered hiwife's rooms she was- sitting just os he had left htjr, still ipul calm ns a statue. "I must learn to bear.it,” she had said to herself, when his voice at the door startled her. • When he entered the room Lady Hilda's heart sunk at the exprciudou of his face. “Hilda,” he said, hoarsely, “1 kuow all. Ton have no more to conceal." Ab, never again did he see on mortal face such a look of agony as hers wore then; never did human voice sound so despairingly.' “You know all?” she said, rising and standing with clasped hands before him. Now came the error which for years wrecked those two lives. . “I know all," said Lord Baynehnm. He meant to say that he knew she had been in the Lady's Walk, and not alone; but she thought by those few^vords he meant to any that he knew all her se­ crets, and that she had nothing more to conceal from him. Often nnd often have the events of a lifetime hinged upon a mistake less grave than this. His words, spoken jestingly so long ago. flashed across her, -when she had asked him if he were deceived In his wife what would he do, and bis answer bad Iw-en "Such n one must return to her friends. 1 should know how to find a remedy for the mistake." “Claude, you know all," she said, look­ ing at him steadily; "did you mean what you said?—must 1 go?" < He did not understand to what she al­ luded. He had completely forgotten the conversation that wps ever In her mind. “DM you mean It?’, she -repeated, in a low voice. “I always mean every won! I say," re­ plied Lord Bayneham; “and, Hilda, it has come to thia---- ” His sentence was never completed, for just at that moment Pauline knocked at thr door. "'bhe Duke of latleham Is waiting to seiyon. my lord," said the maid. Hh Grace was far too Important a per­ sonage to be kept waiting, and Lord Baynebam went into the library, wishing bls visitor in any other place. For one hour and a half be patiently endured the martyrdom. His Grace was vitally in­ terested in Mme county business, and wanted his young neighbor's support. Lord Bayneham tried honestly to give bis attention to every word, but he failed in the attempt. “Lauded hiterest,” “county votes," ^personal influence,” occasionally sounded familiarly in his ear. But it was Hilda’s voire he hen rd, not hi* Grace of Lalebatu’s—Hilda's voice, asking if she must go? What did the child mean? Go where? —and tor what? There must lie some stupid mbrnndiTHtandlag.

Believing her husband meant that he knew all her secrets’, and uttered, she resolved not to wait until he should send her from him. but go at once. She was half mad. and that waa the only excuse'that could I* made for her rash act. From the chans of thought one idea stood out boldly—she would go at once, before they had time to reproach her with her father's fault and send her away. No passionate weeping, no wild buret of sorrow came to tbe relief of that burning brain. She moved about the sumptuous room like one in a dream, just conscious of what she was going to do, but nothing uiore. Like an elcdric shock came tbe sound of Ixidy Bayii'.'ham*s voice, asking for admittance. She supposed that by thia time the whole matter was made clear, aud she came in to see how Hilda was. "Can I come In?" she said. “I wish to speak to you, Hilda.” “Ehe has '•ome to taunt me.” thought the poor child: “come to exult over my fall, aud tell me she always thought me promis or something of the kind.” “No, not now," answered a stribge, broken voice, “I am engaged; you cannot come hi.” Deeply offended, the countess walked haughtily away, and so Lady Hilda de­ stroyed her last chance. If Lady Baynoham had seen the chang­ ed young face for only one minute she would hare known that the brain was orcrtaskeil. But It was Dot so, aud the young l^ady of Bayneham went on to her fate. She wrote a few line* to her hus­ band, and covered them with passionate k'isses: she took from her writing deskill 4he money it contained, never stopping to connt It. but filling her pocket book with notes and gold. Then she rang the bell. "Will you say I want the carriage, Pau­ line ?” she said-to the maid," who gated in surprise Uer mistress. “Are you going out. my lady?’ asked the girl; “you look cold." . "I am going." said i^idy Hilda, with a strange smile, “for a very long drive.” She dressed herself in silence, placing the letter she had written on her desk. She never once looked round the room where so many happy hours had-been spent. Long afterward her maid spoke of the strange, fixed, unearthly look on her lady's face as she quitted the house. “Where shall I drive, my lady?' asked the coachman. “To Oulston,” she replied; “go as usual to the Bayneham Arms, and wait.” And wait he did. until the long day ended, but no Lady Bayneham came again. Night came on. still and dark, but there was no sign of her. The man was uncertain how to act. 8hn was punctu­ ality itself, and the dinner hour at the Castle was past. He did not like to return without her, but the hour* sped on, and ■he did not apjwar. The landlord suggest­ ed that perhat»s her ladyship had returned in a friend'* carriage, but all conjectures were cut short by the appearance of Lord Bayneham, riding as one riding for his CHAPTER XXXI. The Duke of Laleham found his young neighbor a very dull and wearisome com­ panion. He could neither excite his In­ terest nor elicit his attention. Every now anitben he aecuMMl to awake fnfn a rev­ erie and utter a few irrelevant words. The ride to Oulston, the interview with the persons concerned—the whole busi­ ness, in fact, was a complete failure. “I fear,” said Ix>rd Bayneham to his elderly friend, “that I bore been' a poor companion; and the fact is. 1 should hare explained It to your grace before. I am not mysi'lf to-day, I have some little unpleasant affair on hand*, and it has teased and troubled me.” “1 began to think so,” said the duke, warmly. “Why did yon not tell me? This business can easily be deferred. I wish you had not stood upon ceremony with me.” He would-take no further excuse, but insisted upon Lord Bayneham'* returning home at once. He was impatient to be there. During all that long, dreary ride, his wife’s sweet pale fare had been be­ fore him—the sad eye* filled with tear*. When I-ord Bayneham reached the Castle gate* his honte was covered with foam, and the groom who came to attend him wondered why bls master, usually no careful, had ridden so madly. But Lord Bayncham calmed himself before seeing any member <« his family, almost smiling at the exeitrtnent which had urged him on. He Went direct to hb wife’s room -and knocked at tbe door. No one replied; there was no sound within—a profound, unbroken alienee reigned over tbe sump- gently, thinking It probable that his wife sk-pt, and went in; but the fair young face that ever greeted hi..i with a smile was nluM-nt. “Ahr* he *nld to himself, “she is better then, and has gun© down to the drawing Yet os he stood looking upon the elegant disarray of the room, a cold, strange fear : iioad to ct-*m an uptraia. when ■nd a«wtioB ran into it. the engine through the Pullman and fin«- his Grace rose. ras with ■outright and over- thirty “Yoer wife does tmt honor me .with bar society,” wAs the reply, most haughtily given. “J went thi* morning to her room, but was decidedly refused admission. I certainty shall not trouble her again.” “But where is she?” again demanded the eari, secretly admiring his wife’s spirit. “You had better summoa her maid and inquire," replied the countess indifferenfly; ”1 know nothing of her.” ,Ix>rd Bayneham quitted the room, equal­ ly angry at Barbara Earle's easy dobchalanee and his mother’s pride. “Where is your tady?’ he inquired of Pauline, who began to flatter herself that the young earl liked talking to her. “My lady is out,’’ »he seplifd. “The 'carriage -was ordered some bouts since, and has not yet returned.” I .ord Bayneham gave a sigh of mingled relief and Impatience.’ “Did she—did your lady say where she was going?” he inquired. “No,” was the reply; “my lady only said she was going ‘for a long drive. She lookad very ill, my lord, and quite unfit to be out long.” ■ Lord Bayneham stamped hb foot im­ patiently. Why had he gone to Oulston.? Why had he allowed anything or any.one to come between him and his fair, gentle wife? He was ashamed to ask more question*,, or people would surely think him childish. But he could not remain in the house; be went out and walked again where he could see the high road and catch tbe first glimpse of the carriage. One hour passed, and there was do sign of the carriage. The evening began to art in. tbe sun sank in the golden west, the dew fell upon- the flowers, and the bird* “called all wanderer* home to their nest*;’’ but still Lord Bayneham paced the walk alone, until he heaW tbe drossing bell ring. “She must be here soon,” said the young husband to himself. Amongst his wife’s qualities he had al­ ways admired the one of punctuality. He never remembered to have been kept waiting or to hare seen her late. Thb comforted him. She knew the dinner hour, and would not remain beyond it. ’ Lord Bayneham never dreased so quick­ ly, but when he descended the carriage had not arrived. The first and second bail rang and dinner was announced, but the young mistress of Bayneham was not .in her accustomed place. “What can have delayed Hilda?’ In­ quired Miss Earle anxiously. “She went out early this afternoon, intending to take a long drive. Surely no accident can hare happened?" Lord Bayneham’a fare blanched at the thought. 6“Accident* are not so^common, Bar­ bara." said Lady Bayneham; “if anything of that kind had occurred we should have heard of It before this. Lady Hilda has been absent many hours; 1 presume she has met with some of our friends and neighbors, who have persuaded her to re­ turn with them.’" “She is too thoughtful and considerate to have deme such a thing,” said Barbara warmly, "knowing we should be anxious.” The countess saw that her son sent plate after plate away untouched, and drank wiue eagerly, as though wishing either to drown thought or acquire strength. The dinner passed In a most uncomfortable state of silence, but .no -uly I. Hilda return^. ' “I cannot bear this," said Lord Bayne­ ham. rising hastily from his chair. “Mother—Barbara. I am seriously alanned. Pauline says my poor wife looked very ill when she left the house. Mother, be pitiful; she 1s young and has no mother. Barbara, what can we do?’ Both ladies rose aud tried to calin blm, for his wild words startled them. "You had better inquire if any one overheard, what orders were given about the carriage,” said tbe countess to her son. “Do not be alarmed. Claude. Hilda Is ■afe, I am sure. Barbara, go to her room. She may have left a note there fo. us.” (To be continued.) CURED HIS DESIRE FOR DEATH Lord Southey's Guillotine Wouldn’t Work, So He Lived. Lord Southey once. In a fit of disgust with Ufa, bad a magnificent guillotine erected In the drawing-room of his magnificently-appointed house in the Rue do Luxembourg, at Paris. The machine was nn elaborate affair, with ebony uprights inlaid with gold and silver. The framework was carved with great artistle skill, and the knife of immense weight, nnd falling at the touch of a spring, was of ornamental steel, polished nnd as sharp-as a raxor. The spring which liberated tbe knife was placed within easy reach of any­ one kneeling upon the scttffold; in fact, every detail was arranged with a view to the convenience to the would-be sui­ cide.

The management of tiie state meet is very fortunate in securing so many-of tbe big stare. At no time again this season will such a large num­ ber of the truly great ones show up on any one track. One special feature of tbe tournament will be the tandem race. There are few people in Michigan who have seen a tandem race. Sid Black, the noted trick rider who has appeared before all the crowned heads of Europe, and who startled the Mikado of Japan and his copper colored subjects by riding down -a sixty-foot lader on a buggy wheel, will be at tbe meet. The race program will be a souvenir of the state tourna­ ment, and the handsomest ever gotten out by the Michigan Division. The price of admission, 26 cents, is so small that it will take an attendance of 10,000 people to pay expenses alone. Battle Creek intends to do herself proud at this big meet and establish for herself a reputation as a bicycle town. Among tbe Michigan riders who will be at the meet Is Percy Patterson, of Bay City, who held the Michigan records last year.

The people of Martinique cherish the memory of Josephine with all the fervor of the tropical creole temperament, for the Empress was born there and at differ­ ent periods of her life kept up a modest establishment In Fort de France. It Is interesting that at just thia time, when the Napoleon cult Is growing Nominated by Kentucky Democrat* for Governor o'C the State. The nomination of Gen. P. W.

CAP FOR FLUE-OPENING. Fills the Flue and the Proverbial apace daily both in and out of France, that the long expected and eagerly awaited “Memoirs of Barras" should nt last make their appearance, or. at least, that the first two volumes of the work—there are to be four In all­ should be given to the public. It to a singular book and It to probable that no modem manuscript has passed through more complicated vicissitudes. Paul Barras. a former member of the . directorate, died In 1829 and bequeath­ ed the manuscript of the memoirs to one M. Rousselln de Saint-Albin. By reason of the nature of the subject mat­ ter of lhe memoirs M. de Saint-Albin considered It prudent for political rea­ sons to. delay tbelr publication. M. Ronsseiln de Saint-Albin died In 1647 and the portfolio became the property of hto eldest son, M. Hortensin* de Saint-Albin. The latter died in 1877 aud the “Me moirs of Barras” passed into tbe possession of his brother. M. Philippe de Saint-Albin, who died four years later and who bequeathed them to hto sister, Mme. Achille Jublnal. Mme. Jubinal followed her brother to the grave after a few years' Interval, aud the memoirs were turned over to the present editor, M. George Duruy. who had become connected by mar­ riage with the Saint-Albin family. Thus by a singular irony of fate these memoirs, which were written by Bar­ ra* in a spirit of the bitterest hatred of Napoleon, after fifty-five years find Here is a very ingenions and useful arrangement, which was recently pat­ ented by a Mr. Gustafson, of Nebras­ ka. It is a cover for the pipe open­ ing of a flue, and is designed to fit so neatly and closely that it will always be in place and prevent gases, smoke, soot or fire coming Into the room. The cover is dish-shaped, and has an angular flat flange, which rests against the wall, so that the cover closes the pipe opening, and in the center of the cover turns a screw-rod, with a knob on Its outer end. On tbe Inner end of this rod 1s a nut in a disk, which touches the Inner surface of an ex­ pansion cone of sheet iron. The sides of the cone overlap each other, so that the cone may be readily expanded or contracted by turning the knob on the outer end of the rod. When, therefore, the cover Is adjust­ ed In tbe pipe opening, a turn or two of the rod fixes It tight in place, where it will remain until It Is desired to take It out. This device seems to be a great Improvement over the old-style contri­ vances that hare been used for a simi­ lar purpose. It to Illustrated and de­ scribed In the Scientific American.

The count argues that this will be tbe lowest price—1 ruble—ever paid by any woman for a bona file title of coun­ tess.

His was a flirtatious nature, and meeting an adventuress in Boston, he married her. She soon found that his means were poor and left him. Then ba paid his real wife n visit and.told her ho was going west. That was the last she had heard of him for several years. Be­ lieving that she was deserted she went to hard work aa a dressmaker to support herself and her child. Holmes, by which name he Is afterward known, then entered into -various schemes in Chicago. He employed a typewriter named Minnie Williams. He learned that sively. The police found in a store in a three-story brick building at 701 G3d street, which wm built by Holmes and in which both he and the Williams girls lived, a' quantity of charred bones, but­ tons known to have been on a dress owned by Minnie Williams, and the partly melt­ ed portion of a watch chain which wav positively identified ns having been the property of the girl. The contents cri the stove were quickly dumped, and portions of bones too badly burned to admit of positive Identification as belonging to any particular portion of the body were found. All of the ashes knd debris removed from the store was carefully preserved. The police are now of the opinion that not only Minnie Williams but her young­ er sister, Anna, and the boy Howard Pittel met death in this house. Anna Will­ iams has not been seen or heard of since Holmes left the 63d street building.

Borne side crops may be raised because they pay in cash, but the planting of everything with the Idea that the farmer must pay out no money for anything Is a relic of a by­ gone era that will never return. acsaiineM lu Milkins­ Men often go directly from the dirti­ est operation of fanning to the milking, not washing their bands, brushing their garments, or properly cleaning the cow's udder, and, to cap tbe climax', nuuiy inolsten. their bands and tho teats with milk. Brushing the dry ud­ der with the flat of the band will re-, move much dirt Filth should Imj wash­ ed off with clean water. Both tents and hanflp should be dean and dry during milking.

On the contrary, the statistical position tify the opinion that this enormous corn crop, will be a great bnun to the country, and prove the financial salvation oz many nearly* ruined. . It''Jakes a long etretch of tbe Imagina­ tion to grasp the fact that 82,<XM),U(K) ocrea of corn, one of the largest acre­ ages known, arc now flouriahlng under the moat perfect weather coudltiona ever seen. Railway managers have already, begun to arrange projwr transportation facilities for tbe corn, aud the chances ire that every bushel of it will be used up or sent out of the country at fairly, giMxl prices. In >iew of this prospect it will be of interest to note certain facts in connec­ tion with our corn crop*. In the first place, it is a fact that os a rule the larger the total yield the greater has been the export, and generally sjteaking, the great­ er. the yield tbe larger has been the percentagu of the whole exported.

The vague rumor that a white man and,bis wife nnd child had.been killed in .the Wyoming Salt River Valley, and that settlers in retaliation had killed six of tbe redskins is confirmed. The excitement among the settlers In Northwestern Wy­ oming over the threatened uprising of the Bannock and Shoshone Indians is gsowing more intense every day. They are leav* ing their ranches in large numbers and gathering at favored points for mutual protection in case the irate Indians return to seek vengeance for the death of their brother braves. The story of the killing of the three whites and six Indians is spreading alarm at rapid rate. The settlers are becoming thoroughly aroused, and if they are not soon protected by government troops they. • will take the field in protection of their own homes and lives, and they are well Hi 4!

The Indians realise that the cowboys arc more dangerous than tbe troops. The red* know they can surren­ der to the soldiers and they will be iu no fnrther dangcfl but when the frontier volunteers g<\out to hunt Indians they fight as the Indians do themselves. They shoot to kill and kill all iu sight. The trouble originated when thirty men set .out from Jackson’s Hole to arrest a band of Indians for violating the State game laws. Id Hoback canyon they dis­ covered an Indian camp and at daylight surprised tKe Indians and captured them all without a shot being final. In this camp they found 135 green elk skins. Each Indian was started back for ths Hole'with a white man at his back with Ms rifle across hia arm ready for any emergency.

Here ia a recipe for puwiog tbe custom house with bicycles. Get a day off, and If you smoke, take several pounds of tobacco and your pipe. Enter the custom house. There you will be told to go back to Detroit and get some letter* from the L. A. W. , consul, Go and returp. Yau will be ,told that instructions bare just been ' received from tbe queen or governor . not to accept such papers. Now lofrk disconsolate aud discover that you , have a friend in Windsor who may aid , you. Mount your wheel and tear mad­ ly up and down tbe street until you find tbe friend. Get the friend to ask his or her uncle to entreat Ms frtead to ask the collector to take his guaran­ tee that the wheels will go out at Niag­ ara. Then getdlonerand feel relieved. After dinner Learn that, the collector has gone to a funeral. Get your wheel and chase the funeral 3 miles, and get frowned at when you gesticulate wildly what' you want. Go back and wai c calmly until 5.30 P. M.; then the col­ lector. will appear, sign your papers and you may go on rejoicing, after los­ ing 9 hours. That was our experience. We rode thirty miles that evening and put up at the Bicycle Rider's Farm House, where they charge nothing a day and give you the company bed­ room, ano all tbe bread and milk you can eat for breakfast. All the next day we rode in sight of Lake Erie, blue and rippling iu the sunshine. So in the morning, but in the afternoon we rode in a drizzling rain. Occasionally we bathed our rheumatism vjltb a con­ coction of witch-hazel and arnica, and then struggled on. Canadian roads are of the finest or we could not have ridden. We looked so bedraggled that even tbe geese hissed at us when we passed. I have not space to describe the magnificent view which we had of London, nor to linger upon praises of the beautiful scenery in Dundas valley as we neared Hamilton. Lofty hills surround it, forming a vast amphithea­ ter which contains green groyes. brown tilled fields, waving grains, ana cloud shadows. Intoxicated with every variety of cherries, we wheeled or reeled into tbe U. S. again across Niagara's new sus­ pension bridge. Then, Sunday in Buf­ falo and a spin over a-few of Ils 2(M) miles of asphalt. Here we hade good­ bye to our boy companion who had rid­ den nobly the 360 miles so far. Monday on the road again, and we soon saw the blue outline of the Appa­ lachian rarifees of mountains Tbe hospitality in this region is delightful to bicycle* riders at least. We even took breakfast with a crazy woman who mumbled and croned while we de­ voured our meal in haste. That day we passed the north end of lakes Canadaigua, Seneca, Cayuga. Here we toll­ ed up one hill only to precipitately plunge down another. Harry displayed his total depravltx by coupling to a load of hay and cotstlug up one of the longest hills. We passed through Syr­ acuse and Utica and started down the Mohawk, riding the tow-path. When -we met tbe stubborn mules which drew the canal boats we had to dismount and stand aside respectfully. We soon tired of f,he monotony of the canal, and took to the highway where we passed, now between gray rocky walls, now through towns with rows of houses built-in old colonial stylo, and here a talkative famer’s wife pointed out General Herkimer’s historic man­ sion. . At Albany, we were compelled by heavy rains to take a day boat down the Hudson to New York. This trip was a panoTuma of historic buildings with lines us strict as Quaker bonnets; rocky wooded islands; the lofty hill called the Storm-King; mountainsand highlands whose green sides vied with envy herself; the blue Katzkllls sug­ gestive of Rip Van W’lnkle; Tarrytown and the I’allsades whose continuous rows of jierpendicular rocks border the broad, bold, flowing river; and the rakish looking cottage at Newburg, which was at one time Washington's headquarters. At New York, we crated our wheels and were amused to see them taken to the pier in a hack while wc walked. Once on board the "Veendam,” we witnessed usual parting scenes; heard volleys of “smacks” in various dialects and saw the crowd surge off tbe boat in the last moment. OutinNewYork bay, the kodak flend fired a last shot at New York and then went below to dinner. We are on a Dutch boat, and the passengers arc of every nat­ ionality, with Dutch “and German predominant. But the dinner: First course was soup. comiKised of seven different vegetables and melted grease. Then with great pomp the soup plates were removed ana meatof some nonde­ script character and abominably cooked was brought on accompanied by potatoes cooked in sea water, and some cooked sea-weed which they called greens. Next" course was the same, only reversed. .Then desert came In the shape of more sea-wped, sweetened, and a new alias, viz. pie­ plant sauce. Of course we had coffee and milk—so called—but we decided that it had been condensed and then expanded to tbe ntmost tension or perhaps was the milk of a scape goat. And the sugar; I had supposed Lt im­ possible to spoil that, it looks and tastes like pulverized isinglass. Harry and I tried one course after an other, fearfully yet firmly, and then went on deck wiser but hungrier men. Soon the dread angel of sea-sickness put his hand on my friend’s stomach and so suddenly that Harry put the ship's menu on the front of his coat instead of thoughtfully feed!ng the flshes as many a less hurried man was doing. 1 want to tell about tbe fat man whose legs would not go through be­ tween the dining table and the seat­ ing bench, and the belle of the ship who walked the deck until I o’clock A. M. to avoid sea-sickness—of course the lady had an escort—and 3 fat men who have tub races, and orations, and the men were to swim on one side of the boat and ladles on the other, and we should fish, “and for dat you bays one dollar." His Indignation waxed strong. "You dink I stays und bays, do. I goes to my state room and fish the window throo." Then he begged tbe ladies to go altogether and beg the captain not to stop. Three of the moat credulous actually did. Next day, he suggested that If there were no fire-works we might have water-works “for dere 1st youst water enough.” In the evening he invented vocal fire­ works. We all at a signal hissed a long “»h” and then ejaculated a “bang' when our imaginary sky-rocket burst and this was followed by a prolonged groan. Next day our Lying Dutchman came on deck much perturbed by a 8ot which he had discovered among ie steerage passengers to throw all the steamer’s chairs overboard. “And den we stand oup all time.” He had learned this from bis 3 months old son whom he was bringing in tbe steerage because It wap “sheaper.” This is al! now, but 1 shall write you again from Paris.

PRODUCTION OF-ALUMINUM. Output of 1894 in the United State* Wan 550,000 Pounds. The forthcoming review by the geolog­ ical survey of the mineral resources of the country will show that the production of aluminium in the United States in 1894 was 550.000 pounds. The imports were valued at $4,110. Bauxite. which is an oxide of aluminium, has been found in sufficient quantities to be commercial­ ly valuable in only three localities in the co. Arkansas nnd the Coosa Valley of Georgia und Alabama. Aluminium, the review will say. has notv found the posi­ tion in the arts predicted for it. nud the demand is increasing. Its metallurgical use has prove*] more valuable than was expected. NEW BELGIAN TARIFF.

Rum La Flatly Declii In discussing the lead mining Industry for 1894, the geological survey report sayw that the year was one of exception­ ally low prices. Mining declined, and it was necessary to draw ou foreign sources to supply the deficiencies. The produc­ tion of refined lead in the United States han grown from 1,500 short tons in 1825 to 219,000 in 1894. Tho product of 1893 was the largest on record, amounting to 229.0UO short tons. The lead markets of the United States arc supplied from four sourcra. The first is from domestic min­ ing. divided between the soft lead ores of the Mississippi Valley and the silver lead ore* of the Rocky Mountains. The second source is Mexico nnd British Co­ lumbia. The third is the base bullion sent from Mexico for desilverizing and re­ fining in bond in this country, nnd the fourth is refined foreign lead. The fol­ lowing table shows by States the domes­ tic product smelted: Tons. Colorado50.000 Idaho.‘.3.3^00 Utah 23.200 Montana 9,000 Other producing States are Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Mis­ souri, Kansas, Wisconsin and Tennes­ see. The total domestic product is put at 132.700 tons and the consumption at 102371 ton*. Prices duping the year ranged from 3.70 to 3.02’^ cents per pound. ’ Depending on the Corn Crop. President Cable, of the Rock Island Road, declared htebelief that the corn crop of the West was beyond danger, and that along hte liny, at least, it was larger than In any previous year. This alone will give the Itbck Island all the tonnage it can handle for ten months. Corres)>onding reports are made by officiate of all West­ ern lines in the core belt. When these reports and beliefs are crystallized into fact. Westens roads are certain of at least a year of prosperity as great as any in their history.

Tipping the Ocean. The discovery that the axis of the earth Is not fixed In direction, but that it swings round tn such a way as to cause the North Pole itself to revolve once In every fourteen mouths round a circle ten yards in diameter, Is now generally accepted ns an established fact. It Is evident that such a wopbllng of the earth’s axis of rotation, small though It be. must produce some effect upon the level of the ocean at its shores, and au examination ofihe very careful records, wldch have been kept for more than forty yearn, of the height of the tide in the canal at Helder, in Holland, was recently made for the purpose of determining whether such an effect could Im* perceived. The result of the examination showed that the average level of the water had varied with great regularity. In a re­ curring pcrioc^of fourteen mouths, ever since the tide records were begun in 1851. The Inference Is that this regular change of level must be due to the swinging round of the axis of the earth. The amount by which the level changes —a little l«-ss than five-eighths of an inch—also corresponds to the calculated change that should result from the sup­ 8o we are gradually learning to ap­ preciate how delicately the ponderous earth is poised ns it swings in its vast orbit round the son, and how even ths mighty ocean responds to lhe slightest tipping this way and that of the great axis of the globe.

Some point “•els” come with a band for the neck set with aS many point* as can be man­ aged in the round. Tbe band slips un­ der the high collar against the neck, the points only appearing and lying over the outside of the collar. These pointed face collar* are in danger of being over­ done. not from the number of them that are being worn, but from tbe fact that woman's anxiety to outdo woman has led to extravagant forms of this device.

Indeed, such an acces­ sory can ever be dignified enough to be at all stately. It Is of very wide black satin ribbon, and though it* ends are unmistakably of the streamer order they are entirely In keeping with ths remainder of the dress, which Is of black, made princess and designed for matronly figure*. The gown fastens Invisibly at the side, is* perfectly tight fitting and has a round 1830 yoke of ecru guipure l>ordered with a bertha of black spangled chiffon.

The skirt portion is of the very wide godet shape and la lined with strawberry silk. Showy as sash nnd streamer effects always are and highly prized as showy things now are, much more dependence Is put upon neck nnd shoulder garniture In the present scheme of ornamentation ProtMibly this is because the skirt Is so generally left unadorned, as It is In the next sketched example of late summer dressing, the bodice being the point for applying all elaboration.

On the whole, a public which has shown a genuine desire to get enlightenment on tbe financial issue can hardly fail to find some profit in thia gen­ eral stirring up of tbe fundamental facts. H. H. Holme* tells to the Philadelphia nsetiou with Pitsri. who Is •tipjH>»cd to have been murdered for his life Insurance. He says tbe two had on foot a plan to'de­ fraud the insurance company; that while in Philadelphia Pitzd became despondent over financial difficulties, the sickness al hrs daughter in 8L Louis, and other muu ters, and threatened to commit suicide. Holmes then avers that he jokingly re­ marked to Pitsd: “Weil. your body is as good as any other, but I would not advise you to do anything rash.” On the following day, Sunday, Holmes says he went to the Callowhite street house whcie Pitsel was stopping, and found a note telling him that the snldde had been accomplished. Tbe letter plead­ ed that Holmes look after Pltsel's chil­ dren, and suggested that there would be no difficulty in getting the insurance mon­ ey from the Fidelity company, now that the dead body of Pitzel could be produced in evidence. Holmes then told of the ap­ pearance of the corpse, and said that he sat in the room with the body for over an hour. He finally made np his mind that since Pitxel had taken bis life there would be no harm iu destroying any evidence of suicide, so that he might be able to get the insurance on Ph sei's Hfe without any difficulty. Holmes has confessed that he thereup­ on dragged the dead body to the second floor, laid the corpse on tho floor, pried open the mouth of the dead man with a pencil and poured in a quantity of explo­ sive chemicals. He then, be says, placeda lighted match to the man's mouth, when the explosion which so horribly disfigured the corpse followed. To give the more forcible impression that Pitxel came to his death by an accidental explosion Holmes stated to the police that be got a pipe of Pltsei’a, filled it with tobacco, lighted it, then blew out the flame, after WEATHER AND CROPS. bte Conditions.

Search in the basement of the Chicago house has revealed almost everything sug­ gestive of dark crime except a corpse. Skeletons and bones Were there, but these may have been procured from medical college* or other sources; they furnish no proof of murder. Mors mysterious vats, tanks, retorts and kindred devices have been unearthed. And most important of all, there has been found in the Arkansas penitentiary a man who ia said to have been closely associated with Holmes in his fraudulent life insurance deals and who assisted in the transfer of tbe Fort Worth, Texas, property of the missing Williams girts. This man is known by the name of Hatch, A. E. Alien, A. E. Bond. Caldwell and "Mascot,” and it ia thought.was Holmec* confidential agent. He is serving a fifteen-year term for horae-steallug. and he Is now 55 years old. He claims to know all about the disap­ pearance of the Williams girls and the Pitzel children, but refuses to tell until he is pardoned for his present term and relieved of two more indictments for horse-stealing. Holmes not long ago as­ serted that tbe man Hatch took the Pit­ sel children to Toronto, in the company of Minnie Williams, and that if he could be fonnd he could clear up the mystery of their death. Ad attorney went from Chicago to Lit­ tle Rock to treat with the authorities of Arkansas for the release of the old man. and the strongest influence will be used to secure all bo knows. One other man now held by tbe Chicago police ia thought to know enough to convict Holmes. This is Pat Quinlan; but in convicting Holmes he will also convict himself, so he ha* the strongest Incentive to keep his mouth shut On the other hand. Hatch will hare the reward of liberty for his dis­ closures, in case the latter are conclusive.

Tho record* of this country do not furnish any instance which even proacbea In audacity the gigantta fraud which Jas. Addison Reavis against the gov­ ernment H e claimed that a huge grant of land in Ariaona and New Mexico -a strip 225 miles long -and court of Spain a century ago to Don Miguel de Peralta de la Cordova. This land had afterward passed Into the power of the United States which bad Dever paid the heirs of Don Miguel anything and Reavis wanted Congress to settle. The land In question Is ex­ ceedingly rich in minerals and on it fa located some very Important towns. A cash estimate of Its value would make It worth fi75.000.000, and this sum. In ten years, would be easily dou­ bled. For twenty-five years Reavis Iiborcd to build up the claim. He went to Mexico and Spain and In li’ls inves­ tigations spent at least fiSOO.OOO. He forged grants, titles and royal cedulas; be manufactured parchments, royal signatures and sexAfi, he made spurious decoration* and orders, all of which went to the establishment of Don Mig­ uel de Peralta as the man to whom Spanish royalty bad granted the land in question. While engaged in bls work Reavis went to New York and there Interest­ ed some of the greatest legal lights In the country In Lis scheme. Among these was the late Roscoe Conkling. Col. Ingersoll was another who believ­ ed thoroughly In Reavis' claim. On the strength of these legal opinions Rea­ vis managed to raise large sums of money In New York from prominent men who were promised a share in the land when Congress should have granted the claim. Reavis began to live like a prince. He stayed at the Hoffman House where he ran up a bill of >10,000; be spent large sums for fast horses and he entertained his frlencte In a truly royal style. During the time he married and maintained bls wife was the lineal descendant of Peralta and thereby strengthened his claims to tiie land In question. Reavis was unable to get his claim before Congress, but he succeeded in having a law passed creating the Court of Private Land Claims to Investigate the alleged grants. Two clever New York lawyers at once set about prob­ ing the truth of the Reavis claim. At first they believed there was some­ thing at the bottom of it since all the documents produced by him were so apparently trustworthy, but a trip to Spain and Mexico revealed what a fraud the whole thing was. The law­ yers handed in their report after months of Investigation, and It was seen bow baseless was Reavis' claim. June 12 last, in the little court room at Santa Fe, N. M., James Addison Reavis was finally shown to be the fraud he was and that his claims were forgeries pure aud simple. Reavis told the story of his life, the reasons for the claim, and once more brought forward Don Miguel de Peralta.

It was that tbe evidence of the attor­ neys on the other side was brought for­ ward. Don Miguel was shown never to have even existed while the famous Peralta land grant was proved to be a myth. Moreover, Reavis' wife, the belr of Don Miguel, was shown to be not a noble Spanish lady who could trace her ancestry for 700 years ' through the proudest blood of Spain, but tbe daughter of a Missouri post trader and a Digger Indian squaw. Reavis, It was revealed, was originally a car driver who, ambitions above such a station, had invented the whole scheme. The end wa* Inevitable. Reavis was accused of fraud and conspiracy, andniow lies in jail at Santa Fe under bonds of (10,000. He'Is an old man now: the best years of hl* life were given to rearing the fabric of fraud, and now, a* be lies there, friendless and alone, wanting even the necessi­ ties of life, his career speaks more plainly than any sermon of the futil­ ity of ambition when founded on fraud and wrong.

Tbe district Is one of immense riches and Incalculable poesibliltiea. Creede, In a single twehreE&onth, became the rival of famous Leadville as a silver producer.

If SEKDX.E THBOLOH A BICKEL. the large end of the needle project at the upper end of the cork, snap it off with a pair of shears, bo that It may be flush with the surface of the cork. Place a nickel upon two blocks of wood, as shown In the cut, and put the cork on it. with the sharp end of the needle down, of course. Give the cork a quick, sharp blow with a hammer, and the needle, being unable to bend owing to the rapport given it by tho cork, will easily go through the nickel. A Ml ver quarter may be readily used in place of the nickel.—Philadelphia Times. NORTHWESTERN HOSPITALITY. the Montana Mountain*. 'The people of the East,” said John P.

A Dangerous Ice-Chest. The northern fishing vessels are ac­ customed to rely for their supply of ice upon the icebergs themselves—a dan­ gerous, if convenient, resource. An Iceberg Is an uncertain quantity, and very narrow escapes are related by the crews returned from the fisheries. The schooner Elwood lately arrived from Alaska. with twenty tons of halibut packed in ice. She sailed from Seattle northward, and went to the Muir Gla­ cier for ice. A big iceberg was encountered wbHe passing through Icy Straits, and select­ ed for service. Thirty tons of ice were whittled off the berg and transferred to lhe schooner during tbe day. As tbe tide fell, the berg began to roll, the reef forming a pivot oq which it re­ volved. Then suduenly the vessel listed heavily to starboard, and It was dis­ covered that it had been anchored over a spur of tbe Iceberg. Night was com­ ing aud the situation grew more dan­ gerous. The crew.were ordered into the boats. Resting on their oars at a safe distance, all hands watched tbe schooner, expect­ ing every moment to see it roll over and disappear. As tbe tide fell, a small peak of ice showed itself on the other Side of the vessel, and it was found that the berg had caught and hemmed the schooner in. For three-quarters of an hour the fate of the schooner hung in tbe bal­ ance; then without any apparent rea­ son, she plunged suddenly forward into the sea, came right side up, and an­ chored out of reach of tbe floe. The crew rowed back to the vessel, and lost no time In getting away from the roiling mountain of ice. At mid­ night the spur which had so nearly caused the destruction of the Elwood waa the highest peak of tbe berg— which had performed a complete revo­ lution. High Postage.

Barbara Earic had many anxieties; it was three years since her cousin left, hia home, stid Bertie had asked her to be his wife—three years; and then she told her lover site was willing to be his wife, but they must wait until tho doud passed from Bayneham. But it deepened instead of passing; Mill Bertie never complained. He respected her wish, and never urged his own; and Barbara knew, by instinct, all that he felt The last time be came to Bayneham he looked tired and worn. His labors accumulated, and there was no one to cheer or sympathise with him. He longed for the time when that noble, soullit face should shine in his own home; nnd Barbara read the longing in his eyes. She had learned to love him dearly and well, though not. as in early youth, she had iored her cousin, for she was a wom­ an now; and it was a woman’s love she gave to Bertie Cariyon. He was nearer to her than her cousin had ever been. She did not like that resigned, sorrowful expression on his face. Her first duty, she felt, was to him, yet it was utterly impossible that she should leave her aunt. Barbara .Earle sat in her room, thinking deeply. Thought became action; she went to her writing table nnd wrote a letter to Lord Bayneham. It was a sweet, woman­ ly letter; and in it she told him of Bertie Carlyon’s lore—of her engagement to him aud of her Inability to fulfill it until he returned home and once more took hia place In the world. •"There was a time." wrote Barbara—"I pray you to pardon me if I remind you of It—when, for your happiness. I sacrificed <11 the hope of happiness I had in life; I ask but little in return, and that little la the sacrifice of some morbid feeling. I ask you to return home; your mother wants her ron, your tenants and servants j want their master, your country wants one of her ablest and truest sons; and, Claude, Bertie wants me." "That will be irresistibld,” said Barbara Earle to herself, with a smile. "He will never tolerate the thought that he is keep­ ing us apart, and my aunt will have her son." Barbara judged rightly—Lord Bayne­ ham could not withstand that appeal. He remembered tbe time when Barbara had generously given him his freedom, tramp­ ling under foot her owu love and regret. Now one who loved her. nnd was worthy of her, had won her, and he. in his turn, must sacrifice himself ns she had done. The appeal was successful—Lady Baynehnm was beside herself with delight whan she received a letter from her son, saying that he intended soon to return, nnd re- ] some the duties he bnd so long neglected. Barbara said nothing of her letter nnd the countess congratulated herself that her wishes had guided her son. There waa but little said when he ar­ rived. for both mother and cousin were startled by his appearance. He no longer looked JU, but there was an air of settled melancholy on his fsce that told of his sorrow more expressively than any words could have done. He wore deep mourn­ ing—a fact which startled Lady Bayne­ ham. Before separating on the evening of his arrival, she went up to him, and, laying her band gently upon him, asked him why it was. “Hush, mother," he replied, in a broken voice—“do not talk about it. I wear black for my wife; If she had been living, 1 should have found her ere tl.is. I be­ lieve her to be dead; but do not apeak of her—I cannot bear it yet." I«ady Bayneham quitted the room, leav'tag her son alone with his cousin. “Barbara," said Lord Bayneham. "why did you not tell me this before? I have returned In obedience to your wish. Why have you kept this secret from me?" “We could not think of love gr happi­ ness while you were in sorrow," she re­ plied. “I saw my aunt wasting away. -Bertie said nothing, but his look touched my heart. Everything was going wrqgg —so I wrote for you." "I am glad of It," replied ±er cousin; “and now that the first shock of seeing the old place ia over, I am glad to be at home." . "As we are alone," said Barbara, “I have something that I wish to say to you. Claude, you must rouse yourself—you hare sunk in a sea of sorrow; this must not be. Trouble makes h -roes of some men, %ml cowards of others. You know best where a Bayneham' should stand. Remember, even should Hilda be dead, your life does not end in her grave." “My happiness and love lie there," said Lord Bayneham. •That may be," continued Miss Earle, “but we must not live for ourselves. There are many men who have nerer known happiness at all. Your fate is hard enough, but it is not the hardest in the world. I^earn to bear it and you will learn to live.” “I will try," said Lord Bayneham, and he kept bis word. They saw plainly enough how great the effort was. He gave himself up to tbe strict performance of his duty—he omitted nothing. His mother sighed, when, on passing the room door, she saw the lamp burning long after midnight; she sighed sgain, when, In the early hours of the nforning, she beard him pacing wearily up and down J>is chamber. Before he had- been at Bayneham long the CbunteM, believing the effort too great for him, proposed that they should lek re home for a time and go to London.

In London he once more redoubled his efforts, but all were in rata; he went to Brynmar, but nothing had been seen or heard -there of Lady Hilda.

This is easily arranged by having an opening eight inches* square near the bottom, which will also serve as a means by which soot and ashes may be removed from the chimney.

A man upon whom religion had left its mark lueffaceably was observed at Ellis Island recently, says the New York World. He was one of a number of French Immigrants brought before the commissioner for examination. He was a tall, handsome young man, a skilled Iron worker. Attention was drawn to his personal appearance by the fact that be wore bls thick hair brushed down over ills forehead to his very eyebrows. When he was asked by the commissioner the reason for this extraordinary coiffure, the French youth looked embarrassed for a mo­ ment, and then replied that he wore hls hair in this manner to bide a mark on bls brow. "What is the mark?” was asked. He tossed his hair back and exhibited a skillfully executed piece of tattooing, which, on examination, proved to be a text from the Bible, done in minute. for years, and that is just what tho Westinghouse Company professes to have made. The Westinghouse system Is certain­ ly a novel one, bat at a test which was made at the company's works, at Pitts­ burg. Pa., It was considered highly sat­ isfactory In every way.

The chauge to London was a pleasant bam woe full of asaodatiufls and menur Lord Bayneham could enter n room with­ out remembering the last time he saw his wife there. It was pleasing to see Bertie every day; his society was bracing. Ac­ tive, energetic, peraevertag.' Bertie did mon* toward the young Earl’s recovery than any one else. “Cheer up, Claude." he would any; "nil mysteries are cleared in the end. Take my word for it, the time will come when you will discover Hilda and understand all about her flight. Be patient and brave." * Neither Bertie nor Barbara would com­ ply with Lord Baynehnm’* wish, and ar­ range anything for their marriage. “We will wait until you are happier,” said Barbara, in answer to her cousin's arguments: and he knew his two faithful friexuls would not rejoice while he was In sorrori-. . One morning—it was the cud of ^lay, a morning When even to live nnd to breathe is a luxury—Ixird Bayneham went out early. He strolled on toward Kensington Gardens, and attractiil by the beauty and fragrance of the spring blossoms, he entered the gardens and walked leisurely up'and down the paths. There Was no fashionable crowd, it was too early for that: but there were many pretty, happy little children with, their attendants aud nurses. Light footsteps tripped to nnd fro; musical voices tilled the clear spring air; silvery laughter rip­ pled on the brerxe. It was plensnnt to watch the little ones nt their play. Lord Baynehnm sat down upon oue of the garden benches; there* was a snd, wistful smile upon his face as be gazed uj>ou the children. There was a sharp pain in his heart. *No chilli climbed his kneb and called him father; no little hands clasped his; no tender little lips touched bis fare. He would never bear the music of childrca’s'voiccs in his lonely home. Had, solitary, and "desolate he sat in the spring sunshine, wondering why Providence had dealt so hardly by him. The springing blossoms, the blue sky, the clear sweet air. the rich perfume of tho music of the birds, the glory that reigned around him, smote him with pain. Life and love, beauty and happiness seemed to full to every one’s lot; he alone had no hope. Why, it was just such a morning ss this when be had met his lost, loved wife In Bryumnr wood*. Just then Lord Bayneham’s attention was drawn to a most beautiful boy. He was seemingly three or four^ years old. with the charming face that the old masters used to give to angels—sweet red smiling lips, eyes of the darkest, deepest blue. The little head was cov­ ered with curls^-bcautlful golden ten­ drils—gleaming in the sunshine. He was a noble, princely boy, nnd the Earl watched him with great admiration. He was with a gentleman, but Lord Bayne­ ham could not see the gentleman’s face; it waa hidden from him by the thick foli- questions. What ha? -'hanged you?—iu what have I offended you?” The’ Ironest, fearless eyes that met hls own had a deep shadow In them. "There' is no 'need for any explana­ tions." he replied. shortly. “But there is need." sold Lord Baynebam. "I liked you, Massey, and, have bees* proud to call you my frined. What have I done that you are my friend no longer?” "Docs not your' own conscience tell you?" asked Captain Massey, gravely. “My conscience!” acid Lord Bayneham in utter wonder; “no, certainly not; 1 am at a loss how to understand you. I am very unhappy—no nun living Is to 'unhappy as I—but on my conscience there rests no stain." “I have no tight to speak," said Cap­ tain Massey, turning nway; “come Lio­ nel. it is tliqe we returned home." But the child clung with both arms round Lord Baynehnm. “1 like this gentleman," J>e said; “I will not leave him." . Captain Massey's face grew strangely pale. The Earl saw his lips move, and be looked on iu mute surprise. “What is it. my old friend T' said Lord* Bayneham. "What specter have yon raised that stands between yon and me?” Then Captain Massey turned, and looked straight into the changed, worn face. “I would not shake hands with you," he said. "I do not wish to speak to you; but if you will hare it, you must. An­ swer me. Lord Beynehnm! What hove you done with your wife?" Ixird Bayncham started, and looked at his friend with wondering eyes. The questioh pierced him with sharp pnln. "My wife!" be reported, with white, quivering lipa. "I would give toy life this moment to know where she is. I would gladly die if. I might look on her face once more." "But,” said Captain Massey, surprised in his turn, "you scut her from you!" "Never!" interrupted Lord Bayneham. “Only heaven knows what her flight has cost me! Who told you so cruel a story, Massey? and how could you believe It “Never mind who told me," said the Captain, “if it is not true. I never saw a woman so fair, so true, or so pure as your wife. You should hare overlooked what she could not help—her |>arcntage." "1 knew nothing of it when she left me," sqid Lord Bavncham, sadly. ‘J should hare overlooked that, and much more, for lore of my wife." "You knew nothing of it!" said the Captain, still more surprised. “Then why did you send her awny?” "I did not,” replied the Earl; “her flight was a mystery to me until I stood by her father's death-bed. I understood it then." Captain Massey looked, as he felt, be­ wildered. “I do not know what yon have herfrd," continued Lord Bayneham, “but you are my friend. Years ngo, Massey, you loved my wife. I pardon your words; wiil you listen to me while I tell you—tyhat few know—the story of my darling's loss?" With the little golden head pillowed on hls heart. Lord Bayneham told his story.

The lens of the Yerkes telescope, when the glass came fror» Paris iu the rough, and l«efore a strake of work had been done upon It to fashion it into its present delicate and beautiful shape, cost $40,000.

Denies the Statement That Inferior Meats Come from Chicago. Absolute denial is given by the agricul­ tural department to the report from Ger­ many that Chicago packers buy the moat inferior qualities of beef for canning and packing purposes. The statement was made in a Ge swan journal, which assert­ ed that, owing to the poor quality of the beef. It was injurious and wrong to sell it ic Germany. Secretary Morton said, concerning tho story. “Personally, with a veterinary Inspec­ tor, I have several times tossed through the larger beef-canning establishments in Chicago. My visits to those estab­ lishments were always unheralded, nnd therefore there were no spe­ cial preparations made for a general view­ ing of their premises and their methods of slaughtering, cooking and canning beef. Eroxf those thorough, official investiga­ tions I am justified lu denying as wholly untrue all that Is asserted in that state­ ment in regard to American canned State Convention at 4 ,, . ..^, . .

The convention was held nt the Odeon Theater, and the handsome auditorium had been prettily decorated 4 with bunting. The delegates left little room fsr spectators. Prayer was offered by Rev. Father Leulmau. F. G. Pierce, the youthful Mayor of Marshalltown, made a brief speech of welcome and put the convention in good humor l»y saying he extended the freedom of the city, espe­ cially to the Scott County delegation. TernjKirury Chairman French, who was received with applause, attributed the special Invitation of the Mayor to the known modesty of the Davenport dele­ gates. and then launched upon his speech. He dwelt fully upon the prohibition ques­ tion and scored the mulct law unmerciful­ ly. He then took up the several vital State Issues in detail, together with na­ tional questions, strongly approving Presi­ dent Cleveland’s course during the panic. Mr. French thought silver monometallism would cut wages worse than during tho war and demonstrated how free coinage would decrease tije value'of the working­ man’s earnings in savings banks fully 50 per cent. The volume of money, he de­ clared, was sufficient for business dr­ map ds. Low prices, including the decline In wheat, were next considered, and Mr. French dosed with the hope, that neither the gold nor silver moDoinetalism would drive the other coin from circulation. The convention reaffirmed the financial plank of the Democratic national conven­ tion of 18p2. The silver num mnd»- a strong fight, but they were beaten. They had been claiming from 700 to 800 of tho 1,179 delegates, but when it came to the test they were able to muster few more than half the number claimed. They fought for the permanent chairman and were beaten by a vote of GOO to 417. They fought for a silver plank in the platform nnd went down under nn adverse vote of 652 to 420. Ex-Judge Walter I. Babb, of Mount Pleasant, was nominated for Governor without opposition. Mr. Bnbb la a bimet­ allist and indicated bis position in a short speech before the convention. There was no cnndlate for Lieutenant Governor. Mayor Vollmer was too young and Joseph Eiboeck, of Des Moines, would not permit the use of his name. W. A.

It had been designed by the old party leaders to name a representnire German for tho place, but when the silver men, smarting under their defeat, sprung the name of cx-Lieut. Gov. 8. L. Bestow, of Chariton, the opposition saw a good opportunity to soften the asperities of the fight and heartily joined iu nominating the man who had been beaten a few minutes be­ fore for permanent chairman of the con­ vention. Thomas G. Harper, of Burlington, was named for judge of the Supreme Court in a contest with E. E. Hasner, an old lawyer of Independence, but Lyman B. I’araball, of Maquoketa, for superintend­ ent of public instruction, and George. Jenkins, of Dubuque, were nominated without opposition. It waa a large nnd enthusiastic convention, with a hitter fight on the silver question, but the result was accepted with a show of grace. The Platform. The Democratic party of Iowa.

The woman who will endear herself to June brides is she who is now mak­ ing a collection of swell boxes in which to pack her unostentatious gifts. The woman who wishes to be an at­ tractive object this summer should re­ member that coolness and repose are incompatible with athletics, and should decide early which role she will choose. The woman who fails to achieve pop­ ularity can always solace herself with the reflection that popularity is a cheap attainment at the best, and that the crowd is always caught by gilding rather than by refined gold. Tbe woman who would fain be con­ sidered sweet and lovely will find the easiest way to attain that result is to think other people sweet and lovely. The mind which seems incapable of respecting others of guile is always considered particularly innocent itself. INTERESTING FIGURES. France controls n territory of 3,000, 000 square miles in Africa.

The disaster occurred shortly after mid­ night in latitude 9:31) south, longitude 28:20. west. The Prince Oscar, which was bound from Shields, which port sbo left Mny 27 for iquiqno, laden with coal, was going nt a clipping gait on the port tnck before n brisk wind nnd with all canvas set. It is estimated by the crew that she was making about six nnd a half knots au hour when suddenly then* loomed up directly under her bows a four-masted vessel. The’ mate asserts that the stranger hnj no lights burning, and after she was sighted it was impossible to alter the course of the Prince Oscar. The iron hull of the latter struck the unknown full amidships, knocking her nhnoat on her beam end nnd crashing through the woodwork until her prow was more than half buried. 'fhe stranger went over almost on her beam ends os the Prince Oscar backed nwny from the rebound. As the crew of the Prince Oscar stood peering through the darkness they saw the stranger partly right herself nnd then she rapidly began to sink. They listened in vain for some signs of life, but not a cry for help nor a word of com­ mand came from the stricken vessel. Both boats hovered about the scene of the wreck until daylight cnnie. when they headed they knew not when*. Twentyfour hours later a heavy sea struck th® boat commanded by the mate and cap­ sized it. The occupants, eight in num­ ber. were thrown into the sea, and tho already overcrowded craft which Captain Henderson commanded put quickly to the rescue. They were successful in getting four of them ai*oard. 'The rest were drowned. • There were nowjwventeen men in the small lifeboat, with nothing to eat. noth­ ing to drink aud barely room to stretch their weary limbs. The sun was broiling hot, aud their hunger and thirst were al­ most unliearnble. Toward evening of the second day one of the crew discovered a small cask of fish oil stowed away in the boat. This was dealt out to the survivors in small dose®, and they used it to moisten their parched lips and tongues.

FROM ARIZONA. Editor of News. . Thinking that you would like to know something concerning Arizona as it is at tbe present time. 1 will en­ deavor to explain some of its queer, but pretty,features and characteristics of some of Its people. When one comes into Arizona over the A. P. R. R. the first place of any note that is brought to tbe vision of the tourist 16 when the trainman pokes his head in the car door nnd balloos “Flagstaff;” one hustles hat and traveling oag and jumps off to see a little low, red depot with a lut of Rubbernecks crowding the plat­ form; Rubberneck is a name given to the bystanders in this country. The next to be seen Is a little square lead colored building. Standing-along on end to tbe depot Is the Grand Can­ on stage office, and with a picture of the canon covering the whole side, and the windows full of Indian orna­ ments and relics. Turning tbe corner, one will see the business side of the town; saloons, min­ gled with a few storesand restaur­ ants. As you listen to a queer sound like click, click, chip, chick, a sound made by constant' handling of poker chips and money in the many,games of chance with which the saloons abound, and the cries of some lucky-gamblcr, as you pause to listen to a sweet feminine voice In song and Accompa­ niment to string music; I say sweet voice and music but that Is where it ends, for tbe heart of these syrens are as jovial as the expression of a rattle snake, too jovial for any person with the vaguest Idea of civilization to ap­ proach. Just back of this little In­ ferno stands a little M. E. chuch, pre­ sided over by a wlrcy little pastor by the name of Danforth, striving to drive out the sins of Old Nick from this vicinity. I presume a great many wonder what is raised here; well, Mr. Editor, the principal crop is raising the Devil, few potatoes, cattle, sheep, lumbering, mining, and now and then a turnip that Is all In the vicinity of Flagstaff, which has In tbe future prospects of being a yery productive country. Flagstaff was first founded by a company of soldiers, who erected a stall and run .up the stars and stripes, 19 years ago. Among tbe early set­ tlers of this country is Mr. G. W. Binkley, a good Christian man, Who is a lover of Christian enterprise and Srity. Mr. Binkley is au old • and Is still a handy man with the sword, and 1 believe could put some of our French brother experts to shame. Such is the vicinity and people about Flagstaff, but down over the Rim, us we call it, that is off tbe mountains, aliout the Verdie and Phoenix Is a very productive country, oranges, .dates, figs, wheat, apples, peaches, corn and Mexicans are raised with success. . Tbe farm that is of most interest, to the traveler in Arizona Is the Os­ trich farm, of which quite a story is, told. The lot In which they are kept is surrounded by a high wire fence, but not high enough it seems; there was a machine threshing wheat close by the lot in which they were kept, and the old man of the Ostrich family being very curious to sample the new threshed wheat, hopped flat footed over the fence and made a bee line for the outfit-, but standing di­ rectly In hls way was tbe kltchen.car, bullion a generate track, eight feet, wide by twenty long; this car .was pre­ sided oyer by a weinerwurst biscuit, shooter, who on seeing the bird begin to play ball with hls ossified biscuit, to the delight of the bird for he nailed first on the fly as he winked bls other eye, caught second and third and was about to make a score on cook and pastry as the owner put in hls appear­ ance with a good sized brush and drove him back, ending the game in favor of the bird. at the U.

Racchus reigned; every one was drunk or verging upon It. Gangs of students from the Latin quarter, with giris.paraded the street. The girls threw one arm about their fellow's neck and made drunken gyrations with the other. Hacks and cabs rolled by with shrieking companies of girls and men. The trees in parks were thickly hung with red cninese lantetns, which threw a fiendish glow over these riot­ ous proceedings. Beneath the trees, danced soldier boys with drunken girls. Old meiyiassed us with their girlish captors whom they ogled and smirked at hideously. One girl, dressed In bloomers with pockets In them, swag­ gered insolently down a main boule­ vard shouting ana staging, while her hands were plunged In her pockets.

Ga.. opens Sept. 18 and closes Dec. 31 of this year. Southerners aver that the marvelous ag­ ricultural, mineral, lumber and manufac­ turing resources of the South were not fully represented nt the World’s Colum­ bian Exposition. On the eve of a revival of buainoK-s and of an Industrial expansion and activity such as this country has not before known, there enn be no doubt that now is rhe time to show the world the powiibilities of our wonderful Southern land. The South now invites the world to come to Atlanta in order to realize fully the vaotneM of her.tcrritory and to better appreciate its material advancement in • AJJ, recent years, to study its wonderful possi­ bilities and to see and understand what a factor it is in the progress of a nation which now surpasses every other nation In its mechanical triumphs and in its productive industries. A great exposition is n “flush photograph of civilization on the run." It is not u museum and can only be kept open a portion of the year. Mechanical Industry. Ourage is oneof mechanical industry .and the improvements in mechanical devices during the last half century fur exceed in number and value all that have been made during the preceding 2,000 years. In innn’s strfiggle to bring the forces of nature under his control, to subject the material world to his uses, he has not only acquired a more skillful hnnd but a better trained mind, and, instead of remaining a mere machine himself, he has grown to bo a handler of machines, thereby multi­ plying his physical strength many fold. Of the 900,000 patents issued by other nations and the 550,000 issued to inven­ tors in the United States, by far the larger numix-r hare been awarded during the past fifty years. These patents, better than anything else, tell of the marvelous industrial activity of our time. Civil so­ ciety is competitive, and nations of the MBS.

(ionol Entity. The modern practice of tbe State Department at Washington, any® the New York Recorder, has been to give the United State® a verb In the singu­ lar’ instead of the plural number, as *the United States la,” not “the United States are." ' Tho practice before the civil war was j to use the plural form, and Mr. Seward was, I think, the first Secretary of State to reverse It Webster and hl® predecessors always wrote “are.” Mr. Fish. Mr. Efarts, Mr. Blaine, and oth­ er Republican premiers followed the Seward style. Mr. Olney, In bls recent proclamation concerning Cuban neu­ trality, returns to the old form. Re­ ferring to Spain, he wrote: “A power with which tbe United States are and desire to remain on terms of peace and amity.” When Mr. Seward made the Innova­ tion tho idea was, of course, to give additional emphasis to the fact that the United States, ns a political entity. Is a nation, and should have a singular verb. Then, for the first time, nation began to be written with a capital "N.” Tbe politician® of the States’ rights school made vigorous protest, and so did the critics, but the author of the “higher law" doctriue cared nothing about either side. He held the pen that wrote the official dispatches and proclamations, and, as there was no way In which bls critics could edit them, the Seward grammatical con­ struction had to stay. Mr. Olney has naturally provoked criticism by the change he has made. The political part of It is severely con­ demnatory, but, as a, rule, the gramma­ rians agree with him. A Western journal, in taking his side of the controversy, says: "One cannot say ’the Southern States la prospetous.’ or ‘the Pacific States possesses great mineral wealth,’ and no more can one say, without violating the rules or grammar, ’the United States Is.’’’ The main point of the contention Is missed in that criticism. In’ the case of tho New England. Southern or Pa­ cific States the plural form is the cor­ rect pne, because of themselves they do not possess the a tribute of national entity. One division of them claimed it nt one time, but the pretension had to be abandoned. However, the Unit­ ed States "Is" all right, Olney or no Olney. Sty>p-Kceping in Mexico. Every shop and magazine bears a title. Thia custom has Its humorous side. “The Store of tho Two Hemi­ spheres" may bo no more than three yards square, while “The Magazine of the Globe" carries a stock worth about $25. But in the larger cities there are numbers of finely stocked emporia of different classes of goods. The posi­ tion of clerk In one of these great mer­ cantile establishments is much In de­ mand, for what reason it would be bard to say, excepting that the comparative seclusion of the young women ’makes it somewhat difficult to’- meet them of­ ten, unless one be a special attendant in a dry goods store. In which case conver­ sation Is allowed to flow unreservedly. Many a love affair has begun with a dis­ cussion concerning pins, or other trifles Indispensable to fair shoppers. In all the mercantile establishments there la the singular custom of pelon, which ap­ parently counterbalances any attempt at overcharging on the part of the pro­ prietors. When you become a regular customer, a tiny tin cylinder Is provided and hung up in the store In full view of everybody, marked with your name and number. Every time that you make a purchase a bean Is dropped down Into the cylinder, and at stated times these are all counted; and for every sixteen or eighteen, depending upon tbe commercial generosity of the firm, you are allowed six cents In money or goods. This custom must be one of great antiquity. The word "pelon” means a stone or other crude weight with which it was In ancient days cus­ tomary to balance the scales used in the market.

It Is estimated that In England on an average each person spends $2.23 a year on books, periodicals, newspapers and so on, which would give a total of about $85,000,000.

His report was that there cihi be no quwrtion that an en«»naou* quantity of water will be taken from Uk« Michigan for the filling of this eanal. The be»t estimate* that he could ob­ tain were that this volume wifi be con­ stantly equal'to one-third that contained in tbe Missisaippl River above the mouth of the Missouri; or three times that of the Ohio River.

THE CROOK OF THE CENTURY. turcJ at Last. ■ It was very efficient work on the part of succeeded in breaking up a gang of coun­ terfeiters, seizing their plant at Hoboken, N. J., and capturing their head, William E. Brockway, It was long known that counterfeit gold certificate* for $500 and $100 were being issued, but it was hard to track up the criminals. Valuable plates were taken and Canadian notes, half printed, for $200.0(10, together with fibre paper and many United States notes. No plant, of such magnitude and so complete in evwy feature hns been secured by secret service men for yours. Besides Brockway, who Is regarded as the most expert counterfeiter in the coun­ try,.and who is 73 years old, 0. E. Brad­ ford, Libbie and Sidney Smith and Will­ iam E, Wagner were also taken. These others are comparatively little known, but Brockway has lived a life filled with deeds of crime and adventure. In many re­ spects he is otic of tbe most notorious criminals of this class this country has produced. Only one crook overshadowed him in point cf skillful work ns a counter­ feiter, and he was Tom Ballard, who, it was said, itossesaied a better formula for making paper for greenbacks than the Government. Only one man mny be said to have been Ids peer ns n forger, aud ho also bore the narn© of Brockway. Brockway started on his career in New Haven about 1845. He was a Connecti­ cut boy, and found employment ns a printer. Later he learned engraving and, becoming an expert, he made good wages and saved sufficient money to pay for a special course in electro-chemistry in Yale. This technical knowledge be ap­ plied to the production of electrotypes. From almost tbe day be left Yale his enreet ns a counterfeiter and forger dates, flis first trick, so far as any record goes, was to take an impression In soft metal of a plate which two directors of a bank bad brought into the shop in Which bo worked to have certificates struck from. Really bis first important crime was committed soon after the war broke out. When the Government began to issue bonds Brockway thought he saw his op­ portunity. On the 7-30 bond his work was of such exceptional cleverness that $90,000 of the Issue got into the Govern­ ment vaults before any suspicion was arpused. Brockway was arrested, but waa twrnntted to go on surrendering the MIKE CALLAGHAN. The Oldest Man in Ireland al Wo here present the picture of Mike Callaghan, the oldest man in Ireland.

Smith and Doyle, were also arrested at the same titpc for complicity. Tbe finished bonds and plates were all seized. Brockway was sentenced for thirty years and Do; le for twelve. Brockway did not serve a day of this sentence. He managed to arrange a com­ promise with the Government. By con­ sent of Judge Benedict the sentence was suspended on condition that other plates be surrendered.

That the Declaration should be copy­ righted one hundred and nineteen years after its promulgation, and In the face of the fact that it haa been frequently reproduced In all its orig­ inal accuracy, excited a great deal of surprise, and Librarian Spofford was called upon for an explanation. He Is quoted in the New York Tribune as saying: “It is oue thing to copyright some­ thing and another thing entirely to have that copyright sustained. Under the law. I am compelled to record a copyright for anything that is brought to me. I can not act In a judicial capa­ city and determine- whether a person who seeks a copyright hi the author or Is entltl&l by jrrlorlty to secure the privilege he auks.

The same scheme was tried successfully with Ingersoll, but now he copyrights his lectures before he delivers them. So you sec an amendment to the copy­ right law Is sadly needed.

As in a Story Book. The Dowager Empress of China has bad a romantic history. She was an extremely beautiful girl, the daughter of poor parents who lived in the *uburbs of Canton. When the family was starving, she, knowing her commercial value, persuaded her parents to sell her as n slave. She. fortunately, was pur­ chased by a renowned general, who, de­ lighted with her beauty, disposition and general cleverness, adopted and edu­ cated her as his daughter. When later the General was summoned to Pekin, he could think of no finer gift to offer hi* sovereign than his daughter. The Emperor found her so charming that be made her hl* wife. When her husluind died In 1881, this slave empress became regent, the present Emperor be­ ing then only 7 years old. She found Chinn crippled by debt and torn by In­ ternal rebellions, yet five years ago, when she relinquished the governing power to her sou. prosperity and peace reigned throughout the vast empire.

A McCook, Neb., correspondent Mys: On crossing the Miitsouri River running to Lbicoln, the Burlington land agents’ party found a prospect which, from an agricultural standpoint, could not be ex­ celled. Corn is luxuriant and sturdy and every stalk shows large-sized ears stick­ ing out from it. It is so far advanced that the uninitiated could be made to believe very readily that it is past all harm from any soured. Notwithstanding its fine ap­ pearance, however.

The wheat crop has all been harvested, and farmer* are now busy plowing their land preparatory to putting in another crop of winter wheat. Leaving Lincoln the outlook is much less promising. Between Waverly and Fairmont, a distance of sixty miles, is a streteh nf country which has usually been described as tbe garden spot of Nebraska. Crops have always been abundant here, however poorly they may have l»ecn in other parts of the State. I-ast year and this year have been the only known, excep­ tions to this rule. Somehow this belt has suffered severely this year. It hn* rained copiously on all sides of it and nil around it, but the clouds refused to give it a drop of moisture until too Into to save the corn crop.

Very much of It Is wilted be­ yond redemption and a good deal of It ba* already been cut for fodder. Wheat ia this section is thrashing out fifteen bushels to the acre.

SAID BY THE SCIENTISTS. A French medical authority asserts that death caused by a fall from a great height is absolutely painless. The mind acts very rapidly for a time, then unAbthoxomekb calculate that the sur­ face of the earth contains 31.635,585 square miles, of which 23,814,131 are water and 7,811,504 arc land, the water thus covering about seven-tenths of the earth’s surface. Alfred C. Lane writes that ten miles above tbe earth the cold is far below zero, while ten miles below the surface everything is red hot. This lat­ ter is not so certain. It is thought by <Ome that the heat of the earth may be wholly due to absorption from the sun, and so may decrease after a certain depth has been reached.

Tbe rars were crowded with pleasure-seekers. *ad many were forced to stand. Among these was Gold­ en, who held his child lu his arms. As the car shot around the curve at CutUge.

So rapidly was be dragged over the rough pavement that neither those wbo were soon running toward him nor those on the .car were enabled to take the child from him. A dozen times it seemed as if both were under the wheels, but by a desperate effort tbe father each time aaved himself. At last the car was stx>|>ped. and ths father and child were car­ ried to the sidewalk. The child was un­ hurt and smiled at the anxious women who were hugging it joyously. Tbe babe and injured man were - taken to their home, where Dr. McManus found that Golden had several riba broken and had sustained internal injuries which it is thought will prove fatal.

There are strong guy ropes to hold tiie mast In position, and of such length that when tn tbe position illus­ trated the two ropes d and g are tight, while tbe rope b is loose. The fork is pulled down and Inserted in the load of hay nnd tbe horse attached at h, . tbe load is lifted, and when it reaches the top a, a line of draft will pull the . pole- towards an upright position, al, the rope b becoming tight aud the rope d loose. In this manner It Is possible to swing the forkful of bay up over the stack, and if the ropes are properly ar­ ranged, ,tQ drop it anywhere along the center of the stack. As soon as the forkful of hay falls off, tbe mast is pulled back by the man who loads the hay fork. Of course, these guy ropes must lie arranged so ns to allow the mast to move In any desired position. This can be easily accomplished by any •one who bus average Ingenuity. A pul­ ley Is needed at masthead for fork rope «o run through. Also set a short post in the ground about two feet from the mast, parallel with the stuck; put a .pulley on this, run the fork rope through it, and hitch the horse to the end. With this simple ^device, twenty or thirty large loads of hay may be put in a single stack with very little manual la­ bor.—American Agriculturist. i Agriculturist, is robbing (he annual forage crops are being adapted to our i soils that will furnish feed during the ■' dryest timra. It is only recently that |, we printed an account of twenty-seven : new forage crops at the Massachusetts experiment station, many of which are wholly new to most farmers, but so pro­ ductive us to be well worthy of wide­ spread trial.

There is great advantage In begin­ ning to fatten young pigs while the weather is stilb warm and clover or grass is abundant. It takes very little grain to start young pigs to fattening when they have a-ruu at pasture. That grain should. If possible, be something other than corn, for a part of tbe ad­ vantage of early fattening is that tho fattening may begin when t there lb little danger of overfeeding with corn. Yet tiie farmer who Is fortunate enough to have a few thousand bushels of old corn In his crib cau feed It with milk and wheat bran, so as to make It pro­ duce twice as much pork as the same value of new corn will make 'two or three mouths later in tbe season. Where pastures contain no trees for shade in tbe strong heat of summer, It Is cruel not to afford some artificial shade for tiie stock. Such shelter should be provided on humane grounds, but there.

Mr. Campbell protested and raised points of order amid tho wildest scenes of cheering and yelling for Campbell.

He has made some good Investments uutll he was forced to abandon the law after leas than a year's practice, and for three years he led the most wretched existence. He was driven to want and engaged in various kinds of common labor to obtain a living. He plowed, drove a dray and worked In the iron mines near Cartersville. This was the most gloomy period of bls life. He bad a family coming on to educate and care for, and to these were added the anxie­ ties caused by ruined health and an empty purse. At this time, his father, to whom he had always been devoted, died, and his death In August, 1872, marks the turning point In bls son's life. His conversion was as complete as It was sudden, and since then he has ad­ hered to the cause of religion. His first sermon was preached at Felton’s chap­ el, a few miles from Cartersville, during the absence of the regular preacher and was a success. The ore hauling was abandoned and Mr. Jones at once de­ voted himself to the work of the gospel. He preached at the country churches and was soon admitted to the confer­ ence.

Once more has tbe time conic for an accident on the railroad In Nashville, and this time the victim is P. C. Yates, an old and respected resident of the village, making tbe third old person killed by the cars in Nashville and immediate vicinity in the past three years. ~M r. Yales kept a small catch, from which he sustained himself by ped­ dling vegetables around the village, and he was out peddling sweet corn when he met bls death. He had tieen up to G. J. Smith’s hohie, cast of Dickinson's mill, trying to sell some corn and was returning from there. He bad tbe corn In a push cart, which he was wheeling along in front of him. At the railroad the sidewalk was quite narrow for the cart and one wheel left the walk. The 10.16 west bound train whistled for the crossing, but he ap­ parently did not hear it, aud could not see it, as a string of box cars had been shoved up on the side track quite close to the walk, which obstructed his view of tbe main’track. lie had succeeded Jn placing the cart back on the walk and started across the main track when the swiftly appoaching train sped down upon him. He was onlv about 75 feet.in front of the en­ gine when the engineer first noticed him: the alarm was-sounded and air brakes put on but the engine was too close and it struck him just as he was about, leaving the track. The pilot lifted him up and he fell across the corner of it, where he laid until the train was stopped and he was lifted off. The ol«l man did not seem to look up at all at the on coming train, but seemed bent upon getting Lhe .cart out of the road of danger. People who saw him when the accident h.ippened say that he was on a trot when struck, but if he had stopped when the whistle first sounded the alarm, he would never have been hurt, ns he and the cart were clear of the track. The train was going at a high rate of speed, being behind time, and they ran just 48 rods beyond the crowing liefore they came to a standstill After the t rain was stopped the victim wa* lifted from the pilot ami laid In a box car near by, buL there was not a spark of life left. He was badly broken up and bruised, and a large hole was found In his head Jg>t over his left ear. His death was sudden and pain­ less. A Jury was summoned, which after hearing lhe testimony of the engineer, fireman and several who saw the accident, returned a verdict that he ‘‘came to Ills death by being struck by engine 186, at the Sherman street crossing of the Michigan Central rail­ road, in the village of Nashville, Mich., said engine being run at an ex­ cessive rate of speed at the time of tbe accident, and the view uf the de­ ceased of the approaching train being obstructed by freight curs placed on the side track, close to and east of tbe crossing, when the accident oc­ curred.” The remains were tak<gi to the home of Mrs. O. M. Yates and the funeral occurred from thgre Wednesday fore­ noon, and the remains were Interred in the Nashville cemetery. Deceased leaves a wife and one son, Clem,who Is in Tacoma, Washington. Deceased had been a resident of Nashville fur lhe last eighteen years, and was quite well known all over lhe vicinity.

There te at oil times a steady demand for them. ond they are quite as staple M wheat and not subject to the fluctuations of the latter. With ths Itfw price of wheat and corn tho /ormers have looked about for some more profitable crop and investi­ gation shows that the United States has never produced enough potatoes for home consumption. Thousands of bushels are bought in foreign markets every year and if there is a profit for powers abroad, with ■mall areas to devote to the crop and tho additional expense of ocean freight rates, there ought to bo money in the business for the farmers in this country, who have larger tract* of land and cheaper freight rates. The imports for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 18IM. were 3,022,378 bushels, of the valne of nearly $1,250,­ 000. Last year 2,737,973 acres were devoted to this crop, and that was au increase over the year before of 83,000 acres. The pro­ duct of 1804, on account of an unfavor­ able Deason, was 1£246,000 bushels short of the year before, notwithstanding the in-, creased acreage. But in measuring the popularity of the potato ns au article of farm product the product is scarcely worthy of consideration, for the Increase In the aren of land devoted to the crop is plainly the index of Its popularity. All the evidence available indicates that there nre now 3,000,000 acres of potatoes grow­ ing in tho United States. The fact that there bos been a steadily decreasing acre­ age of wheat, rye, barley, oats and com, which continues this year, te considered by the Secretary of Agriculture to indicate an increased acreage of potatoes and other substantial small products. New Y’ork has steadily led all the other States as a potato producer. Last year 378,728 acres of land were devoted to the crop in New York, and the product, aggre­ gating over 2t»,000,000 bushels, was sold for half os many million dollars. Michi­ gan was second, with 215.270 acres and a product of over 13,000,000 bushels, which brought the growers nearly $0,000,000. Pennsylvania wan third, with 200,870 acres, which produced almost the exact number of bushels produced by Michigan, though the acreage was vastly less than Michigan’s. The acreage in Ohio was in round number* the same as that in Penn­ sylvania, and the aggregate of the crop was the same within a few thousand bush­ els, showing that both Pennsylvania and Ohio raised a larger crop than Michigan with less acreage. The other big potato­ growing States nre Iowa, Illinois, Wiscon­ sin, Minnesota, Nebraska aud Kansas, in tbe order uainetl. Iowa bad 17G.G05 acres lost year; Kansas, 108,213. Tho aggre­ gate of acreage gradually decreases from Iowa to Kansas, excepting that Illinois aud Wisconsin had almost the same acre­ age—that is, about 160.500. While Mis­ souri, Maine, Massachusetts, Now Jer­ sey, Vlrginiji. Kentucky, South Dakota, Colorado, and a half-dozen other States are good potato growers and have n large acreage, none of them approached 100.000 acres lost year, nnd in nearly all of them less than 50,000 acres of land waa devoted to potatoes.

AN INTERESTING TOY. The Artificial Spectrum Top plcxcn Sclent iota. Scientists of England have been giv­ ing a great deal of serious considera­ tion lately to the study of a mere toy which they are still unable to explain satisfactorily. It te a top called the “artificial spectrum top." (u which mere tracings of black and white are made Io assume colors when in motion.

Then coyslder themselves superior in every way to all other tribes and to white men. lu warfare they are keen. Heart­ lessness and cruelty are their prime characteristics. To kill all aged per­ son* who have become burdensome te a custom with these Indians. A* hunt­ ers of big.game tbd fame of the Ban­ nocks Is great: but oven In their hunt­ ing the innate cruelty of the braves te shown. Instead of shooting their prey through the heart—taking the risk of missing their aim—the Bannock sends hte bullet Into the entrails of bls quar­ ry. and then lies iu wait for another victim. The first Is easily tracked by the trail it leaves, as staggering and suffering from its wound the animal blindly trfbs to escape. The Bannocks arc expert horsemen. They are allied by numerous intermar­ riages with tbe Shoshone Indians, and the braves are generally distinguished in this way: If the Indian is gaudily '> dressed, ajiater of work and ready for trouble or’to make trouble at any time, then ho is a Bannock. If he Is quiet, take* kindly to labor, and tries to dress and live like the whites, then he te a Shoshone. There Is not much love lost between the two tribes. The Bannocks are ruled to a great extent by their I ‘‘medicine men," whose words are law. to have always lived there. These are the only Bannocks now known. The second band found in 1853 lived some­ what further north. They have either perished or become incorporated with the remnant of the first tribe. The recent trouble, concerning which highly sensational aud positively un­ true reports were sent broadcast throughout the country, was because of the recently enacted game laws of Wyoming. Iu 1868 the United States entered Into a treaty with the Ban­ nock Indians, according the latter the privilege of bunting anywhere on un­ settled lands. Recently, b6wevcr, Wy­ oming enacted restrictive game laws that conflicted with the Bannock trea­ ty, and the reds considered their rights usurped. They declared that the trea­ ty with the United States was superior to the laws of the State of Wyoming, and they kepton hunting and slaughter­ ing game as had been the custom from time immemorial. The authorities of Wyoming caused the arrest of a num­ ber of the redskins, but these escaped. Moro arrests followed, and when these prisoners attempted to escape, they were shot. This incensed the Ban­ nocks, and the Imaginative correspond­ ents had it that they arose in open re­ bellion, which culminated in their tak­ ing to the mountains where thev could better defend themselves against th* tbo Island of Savall to measure 100 feet In length. Our consul mentions the case of a village owning two or three of these boats, for which they have doubtless paid dearly, nnd where most of the young tuen are also owners of n weedy pony or equally useless horse. The land on which their village stands Is mortgaged; and Is advertised for sale. Yet. instead of making any at­ tempt to raise money to pay off the trifling sum required, they have for the last four months been playing, al­ most weekly, cricket matches with thirty or forty players a side, for stakes consisting of pigs and kegs of salt beef, to the accompaniment of a band of sav­ age music. The consul believes the amount of money expended on cricket In this village since February would have paid off, not only the interest, but a large qiart of the principal of the mortgage.—London News. Terrapin Farming. THE MTSTEltlOUS* TOP. A deed of Cornfield Harbor, one ot the best known estates of Southern Maryland, owned by Col. 8. I. Wailea, from Mrs. M. E. Davison to N. S. Ac­ kerly, of Long Island, has been filed for record in the office of the Clerk of Land Records of St. Mary's County. This property consists of about forty acres of upland and seven acres of oyster creeks. The property Is situated about a mile and a half from Point Lookout, and has a frontage of about three and a half miles on the Potomac River. In one of the creeks, especially, known as Potter’s creek, it is said, as fine oysters as any In the world can be grown. Mr. Ackerly has taken a great interest in the artificial cultivation of oysters. He has been quietly experimenting with a view to determining the value of these oyster lands, if properly cultivated. On the property is a large fresh-water pond, which has been connected with the creek by a canal, so that the pond may be made salt, for tbe cultivation of diamond-back terrapin, which, when complete, good judges think will be about tbe best and largest of it* kind in the country.—Baltimore American. of a revolving disc, half black and half white. On the white half are short, conceutric arcs of black. When the top revolves close under a bright lamp these arcs appear, not a., gray lines, as might be expected, but as lines of col'or. To most eyes the effect is as fol­ lows: (1) When tbe revolution is such that the black line is preceded by the black half of tbe disc and followed by tbe remainder of tbe white, it appears red; (2) when the direction qf rotation is reversed it appears blue; (3) when the lines are on the centra! portion of the white (so as to have equal white Im­ mediately on each side) the color Is green; (4) intermediate positions give approximately tho Intermediate colors of the spectrum.

THE ELOPEMENT OF THE FUTURE. A BANNOCK FAMILY About two years ago the government gave the Bannocks and Shoshones 200 cattle. The Bannocks promptly killed and ate tbeir share in the first winter. The Shoehones kept the greater part of their gift and they now have some 4OO bead. The young Bannock "Moods”, are born gamblers and thieve*.

Injuries to tbe head may be divided into three classes: those which affect tbe scalp alone, those by which the skull is fractured, and those by which the brain Itself is damaged to a greater or lesa degree. Inasfnuch ns the records of the civil war, in which are accounts of thou­ sands of caws, are in favor of stitch­ ing ail scalp wounds, they should re­ ceive a doctor’s cure as soon as possi­ ble. As a rule, injuries to tbe scalp, if carefully looked after, will repair at once, but if neglected they are exceed­ ingly difficult of management If tho injury is extensive, the hair should be rethoved for a short distance around, nnd a clean cloth sonked iu ice water should be placed over the part while waiting for the physician. Since shock may accompany the slightest Injury to any part of tbe body, It is difficult to say ut once whether a patient, in a condition of collapse from a head wound, is suffering from a frac­ ture of tiie skull, with pressure of tho fragments upon tbe brain, or has sus-. tallied simply a concussion. As a rule, however, cases of extensive fracture are attended by a more pro­ found degree of collapse than those of simple concussion. The patient is to­ tally Insensible to everything, even to the utmost efforts made to arouse hhn. Fractures of the base of the akul’, which are almost Invariably fatal, may be attended with bleeding from the ears and nose or mouth. In all injuries to the head, tbe pa­ tient should be kept In a »tatc of com­ plete quiet Iced water should be kept constantly about the head, and the room should be somewhat darkened. The diet should be low in proportion to the severity of the case, but always nourishing. The head should be ele­ vated, placed upon the rather firm pil­ lows instead of soft ones. The dress­ ing about the bead should be Just enough to support and protect tho wound from draughts of cold, without being beating. No Injury to the head, however slight, should be regarded ns unimportant, since almost any such injury Is Hable to be complicated with mischief to the brain. For this reason every wound of the head should receive careful atten­ tion at the hands of a competent physlelan.—Youth"* Companion.

I told him who I was and that we had a capias for him, intended to take him and that he would do well to come down and sur­ render and not force us to resort to des­ perate means. He told me that he did not Intend to surrender, and that if I forced tbe door and entered the house he would kill me. He said that he had ■ been forced to kill one revenue officer, and had had a difficulty with two or three others, and didn’t want any more trouble on his hands. I told him that I had the house surrounded and that the firing of one shot by him would be the signal of bls death. He replied that he could whip a whole regiment where he was. I finally told him that If he did not come down I would burn the bouse. He told me to burn and be d—d. I went into the kitchen—It was just after dinner—and, getting a frying pan full hot coals and a few green chips, I went back to the door. I set the fry­ ing pan upon the door sill, and, lying down close to the wall, where Shaw could notshootme, I commenced blowing the smoke under the door, occasionally telling that I hated to burn the house on account of bls wife and children.

Tbe latter cor­ responds with the office of magistrate In the State and accompanies the raid for tbe purpose of Issuing warrants when an arrest is to be made; the deputy marshal's office corresponds with that of tbe sheriff, and bis duty Is to make the arrest. A raid was being made by a large party of revenue officers and deputy marshals in the Pea Ridge country, on the Tennessee and Kentucky line. We caine Into a neighborhood where were three bouses, about one-half mile apart, and forming almost a triangle. Tbe marshal had capiases for the three men who occupied them. I belonged to the revenuj department, and had no au­ thority to arrest. There was but one officer present who bad the capiases, but upon an occasion of this kind men do not stand much on the strict letter of the law. Our force was divided into three parties, and each one repaired to a house for tbe purpose of making an arrest. It fell to my party’s lot to arrest Bob Shaw, who was charged with belug an accessory before the fact to the killing of a revenue officer, bad been arrested, indicted and bad given bond for bls appearance and forfeited It Now Bob was a’ character In that sec­ tion of the country. He weighed about BOO {rounds, was a perfect specimen of physical manhood, and had the reputa­ tion of being recklessly brave and . scrupulously honorable. He lived In the center of the enemy's country, and in order to make an arrest it was neces­ sary to have a good force. Just before court a raid was organized and all the capiases were placed 1c the hands of a marshal, who accompanied the party, the revenue department assisting the judiciary and vice versa. Apprised of the dangerous character of my man our party carefully sur­ rounded the house, a story-and-a-balf log affair, with a log kitchen at one angle and a rough porch In front of the door of the dwelling extending around in front of the kitchen door. There was but one window belot? and two small windows above in the dwelling. Between the eaves and the walls of tbe bouse was an open ^»ace al-' around of about four Inches. A person up­ stairs could pass around the wall and cover any object with a gun or pistol for s distance of ten or twenty feet from the house. Beyond that distance one could not be seen except from the two end, windows. It was known all over the country that we were somewhere on tbe ridge and everybody was on tbe lookout fur us. As luck would have it, Mr. Spur­ rier charged one of the other bonnes with.his squad of men before I could get my crowd In position, but was dis­ covered in time for tbe moonshiner to run out of the bouse. He was fired up­ on by three or four of Bpnrrier'a men, front that he would not be hard to locate, so I got a man who was familiar with tbe ground to do some detective work for me. This man went out Into tbe coun­ try and in tbe course of a short time wormed himself-Into the confidence of the moonshiner. ’ • “Hall had a house on the side of a mountain, alongside the road, -and en­ tertained neigh IM>rs somewhat In the manner of an innkeeper. My man went to Hall's place and bought whisky, and drank and played cards until 4 o'clock in tbe morning. After he bad gone to irod he got up and prowled around and after a long search found where the still was Hidden. He even went so far as to take a diagram of tbe place. Ho came into town, where I was wait­ ing for him. and gave me the Intelli­ gence that I wanted. “I got the (rosse together and set out at once, arriving at the spot In the ear­ ly morning. My Information was so positive that I arrested Hall at once. As we entered tbe house he edged around behind his wife, who grabbed her husband's pistol from bls pocket and faced us. I saw that I bad a de­ termined woman to deal with, and knew I would have to treat her like I would a man. “ 'Put that pistol down,’ I commaud- I PUT THAT marshal being probably a half mile from his bouse. I laid my left hand on my revolver that I held in my right, and told him that be would have to be satisfied with that until Mr. Brown, the marshal, came up. He then asked me where my men were. I blew my whistle and they left their places of concealment and surrounded him. Clergymen and Moon»liiner.

As be was running along nt full speed, Kirkman says, has attention was at­ tracted by a cow, which seemed to be coming straight down the track to meet the train. He put his band on the valve aud puffed out three sharp whistles. Still the cow camo on. bellowing at every step and acting altogether In an unusual manner. As much from curios­ ity as anything else, Kirkman at length slowed up and sent the fireman ahead to see what was the matter with tbe cow. No sooner did tbe cokr see that the speed was slackening and that the fire­ man was going to investigate than she turned and ran straight back down tho track, stopping now and then, looking over her shoulder and switching her tall, as much as to say, “Come on." The man followed, and by and by saw the cow stop short at a high trestle. Going up he discovered another cow which had fallen and got herself fas­ tened in the trestlework sjquarely across tbe rail. It took a few moments to release the animal, and the two friends, after plainly showing their gratitude, lost no time In scampering away out of danger.—Dalias (Texas) Dispatch to Philadelphia Times. Modest. Another incontestable proof of -the rapid advance of the Japanese In the civilization of the West Is the following advertisement which appeared In a Toklo paper recently: "A young lady wishes to get married. She Is very beautiful. Itas a rosy face, which Is sur­ rounded by dark curly hair. Her eye­ brows show the form of the half moon, and the mouth is small and pretty. Bho Is also very rich, well read enough to admire the flowers In the daytime at tho side of a life companion, or at night to ring to the stars in heaven.

The aaccnt and descent of the vessel are designed to be controlled by the operation of the screws, and when the aeroplane Is set at an inclination to the plane of the screws, the reaction of the air striking the Inclined surface causes a forward movement In the direction of tho highest point of the aeroplane If the vessel k ascending, and In the oppo­ site direction if the vessel Is descend­ ing, the direction being changed or re­ versed without altering the speed of the engine or the position of the screws THE AMMONIA GUN.

One of them was radiantly happy in tbe possession of a huge cucumber pipkin, which she sucked with great satisfaction, while the other one watch­ ed her with hungry eyes. "Gimme a bite, Jenny." she said. But Jenny was not generously in­ clined. "Please. Jenny.” Jenny shook herjtead and said somethirtg unintelligible because of the pickle In her mouth. ‘TH let you wear my red glass beads for Just one bite.” ' "I’ve got some nice yeller glass ones that I’d rather wear.” said Jenny. Several othpr offers were made and rejected, and the pickle had nearly disappeared when the little pleader said sadly, with moistening eyes: . "I should think you might gimme just one bite, Jenny, when I—I—you know I ain’t got no father." A responsive chord hnj at last been touched. Jenny rose to her’feet with a bound, and holding out her hand, said: “Come on! I Dever thought of that I’ve got another cent In my pocket. You come with me. an’ I’ll get you a whole big pickle, an’ you needn’t give me a single bite,” and away they ran.— Youth’s Companion. The King of Spain is the youngest ruler in the world.

At mention of gloves women who have examined the new ook offered will doubtless be reminded* of some oddities In the fall stoek. They come from what wems to be u determined SIMPLY MADE OF QUAY IIRiLLIANTIXE. effort to coax Amurican women to wear loose gloves. As a matter of fact the women of this country arc the only ones who Insist on having their hands tightly bound In their gloves, for En­ glish and French women all wear loose ones. French gloves fit truly without a wrinkle, but that is because they nre perfectly cut and loose. When a band so encased Is taken. It can be felt; when •an American woman's hand, trussed up In a tight kid, Is clasped, it feels more like a little foot In a shoe than like a band. The English glove does wrinkle, and the English woman has large hands, too. It does seem as if the American woman might submit to the two examples, and dealers are going to try her. because it costs them so much to have gloves made In foreign mar­ kets for home use. They must be of correct material, color and shape, but In an entirely different run of sizes, and in some modification in cut that the band may have some bond, although so closely tied up. It is really said that, though women are not to be frightened by being asked to accept a glove a size or so bigger according to number than their habit, tlie gloves actually will be larger than their numbers will Imply. If women submit, they will be less troubled with red hands, and that’s one point gained. To return to sleeves, examination of the next Illustration will show that d» crease in their size is not apparent in every dress, nor is fit at the shoulder an essential. Indeed, the Indications are, now that the powers that l>e hare granted permission for smaller sleeves, that there will be a flood of odd shapes, each one representing the attempt of some ambitious designer to control the change of style. These were probably made as big as they are In the hope that they would be more readily ac­ cepted because of their being little changed In respect to dimensions from the shapes that were passing.

To press the corn In tbe cap. use the small end of a potato masher, as this will enter the can easily. It will teke from ten to twelve large ears of corn to fill a quart can.

Give him pure air at nil times. Let him have a tetr spoonfuls of water several times a day. Do not let erery one kiss him. Do not let any one jostle, nnd shake, and tlcklo him. Do not keep him so warm that ho cannot sleep. Babies, as a rule, arc bundled up too much. Do not neglect him, nnd then, when he cries for some needed attention, say that he is a "cross, bad-tempered little nuisance." A healthy baby seldom cries when his wants are properly filled. and a sickly one certainly lias a perfect right to make life a burden to those who al­ lowed It to become so Do act as if you expected your child to grow up a healthy being every way; look hopeful­ ly Into the future, and therefore do not worry needlessly.

He was known as the farmer Gover­ nor of Indiana, and defeated Benjamin ■ Harrison for the c jeaxs.” Governorship of the State in K70. “Blue Jeans” Williams, • as he was called by everybody, was pre-emi­ nently a self-made man, being trained In the severe school of Western pioneer life. He belonged to a class of men who are rapidly ixiMlng away from our midst. The arduous conditions In which they are born and reared can never be reproduced. James D. Williams was a Buckeye, being bora In Pickaway County, Ohio, Jan. 16, 1808. His parents were-very poor, and hence his educational advan­ tages were somewhat meager. ♦What education he had was obtained outside the schoolroom. He was reared In tbe stern school of adversity. In after life tlie career of Governor Williams, was distinctly marked by the virtues which grew out of the surroundings of his early life. At tbe age of 10 years the future Congressman and Governor moved to Knox County, this State, with his father's family. He resided here until his death. He grew to man’s estate upon his farther's farm, and bore his full share of the tolls Incident to the farming life of that period. When a young man Governor Williams showed those sterling qualities that marked his whole life. He was honest. Industri­ ous and upright In the midst of his early labors he soon began to take an active Interest In politics, and at 30 was elected to bo justice of tbe Peace. His neighbors always held him In high regard, aud be was looked upon as tbe leader of his party In his locality. He resigned as Justice of the Peace to take his seat in the lower house of the Indiana Legis­ lature In 1S4.'5. From xhnt tlme he was almost continually In office. He did not make a,brilliant record as a legis­ lator, yet he had the respect of his colleagues and approval of bls con­ stituents. He served his county In tbe Legisla­ ture, either as Representative or Sena- OOV. WILLIAMS* HOME. tor, until 1874. In 1874 the Democrats of tlie Second Indiana Congressional District sent him to Congress, and ha served one term. We now come to the climax of Governor Williams' life —his elevation to the Governorship of Indiana over Benj. Harrison, after­ wards a President of the United States. Beyond all question the State cam­ paign in Indiana iu 1876 was the most exciting In all her history. It resem­ bled on a smaller scalfr the great na­ tional campaign of 1840, when William Henry Harrison defeated Martin Van Buren for the Presidency. Governor Williams died Nov. 20. 1SS0, before bis term of ontce expired. His funeral was attended by thousands. His grave Is on a knoll In sight of tbe old homestead. The monument that marks the last resting place of “Blue Jeans" Williams is a beautiful granite structure 40 feet high and i by 7 at tho base.

At night camp fires were held in New Albany and Jeffersonville, as wall as iu Louisville, while receptions were given Commander Lawler, Admiral Allen, Mrs." Logan, Mrs. Wallace, and other*. At Camp Caldwell, where twelve State de­ partments and thousands of unatterbed veterans were quartered free in tints, there was singing anJ story-telling and many informal camp fires. Most of the Indiana veterans were quar­ tered at New Albany and Jeffersonville. The‘regimental reunions were held in the State headquarters Tuesday. Uiatinauiahcd Gucata. Monday was tho opening day of the twenty-ninth annual encampment G. A. R., held this year at Louisville. A warm Invitation to assemble there was extend­ ed to the members by Mr. Henry Watter­ son. Many of them entered the State over thirty years ago bent on a very differ­ ent mission, and much against Mr. Wat­ terson's wishes. About 00,000 old soldiers attended this encampment. Thia is only a melancholy fraction of the men who came out of the four-yenrs’ struggle with their lives, and yet ij is a great number when one re­ flects that it is thirty years since that con­ test ended. These gatherings are better attended than were those held ten years after the war closed, when the number of veteran* was so much greater than now. This is not because railroad rates are* cheaper or the old soldiers are any THOMAS o ■ Commander-in-chief G. A. IL better able to, stand the expense and the wear and tear of travel, but because as the ranks are thinned out the survivors feel more strongly drawn toward one an­ other. Each of them feels more keenly than ever before that this may be tho last time he will be able to foregather with his comrades, so he goes himself, if it is humanly possible; and, if be can, ho takes his family along, so that his chil■dren may see the men side.by side with whom he fought. But the day of large gatherings is slow­ ly and surely drawing to a close. Each year depletes the ranks. This was not so perceptible at first because tho Grand Army has kept on growing long after thu war was over. The men who did not join it at first, either because their atten­ tion was absorbed, in earning a living or because the war was still so near them that its memories had not ceased to be disagreeable, one by one joined that or­ ganization. So it grew while the number of old soldiers was decreasing. That pe­ riod of growth is over now, and gradually these annual encampments will dwindle till tens meet where thousands meet now. This encampment was a notable one, as it was the first held south of the Ohio River. The “boys" marched in a familiar direction nnd nenr to the locality of stir­ ring scenes in their lives, but they vyent down there with different feelings from those of thirty years ago. The events in Chiago’* Oakwoods Cemetery on Decora­ tion Day, as Well as the cordial Invitations from Atlanta to Northern soldiery, go to •how that the era of complete reconcilia­ tion is at hand. This year's encampment ■will expedite its fruition. The men of the blue and the gray will get better ac­ quainted with each ether, and will b® better friends hereafter for this meeting. The extraordinary preparations which Louisville made and the cordiality of wel­ come all pointed to the same result. The encampment naturally attracted larku numbers of the ex-Confederates also, and the commingling of the old-time ene­ mies under the standard of peace added its influences also toward the cementing of kindly feelings. Louisville’s Hospitality. Though many of tbe veterans during the year have replied to the last muster call, the encampment was one of the most successful the Grand Army has ever had. Certainly under the circumstances it was on* of tbe most interesting. Kentucky is closely allied to Ohio, Indiana,,and Illi­ nois. and thousands of its sons have set­ tled in those States. The tie® between them are strong, and to large numbers of these veterans the welcome was like a family one. Louisville did its best upon this occasion. Mr. Watterion and his starry-eyed girt did their best also, and if the blue invasion had threatened to -be too much for the city tbe whole Blue Grass region would have come to the rescue. There was room enough, however, for all. Louisrille never was known t® get too full. The people of the city secured, concessions from railroads and hotels, and even arranged for free sleeping quarters in schoolhouses and other buildings, with the additional pro­ vision of tents and barracks. The schools for tbe week were dismissed. Fully 300,­ 000 strangers were in town during the enrampmeut. While tbe influx from th® Northern States was tremendous, yet that from the South kept paca.

Every State represented seemed to hare its favorite son, but the two men most prominently considered for the high honor were Major Thaddeus 8. Clarkson of Nebraska nnd Colonel Ivan N. Walker of Indiana. The friends of these two veterans and of the other candidates were quickly hard nt work. The opposing factions got together, and the result of the conference was the decision that Colonels Walker nnd Clarkson should be the'only nominees. Then an Iowa dele­ gate was to move tho withdrawal of Col. Clarkson’s name nnd the unanimous elec­ tion of Col. Walker. This would serve to give Col. Clarkson prestige at the 1S9G convention. Colonel Ivan N. Walker is a native of Indiana, and at the breaking out of tho war, at the age of 21. was holding an important office, which he resigned to raise a company for the Seventy-third Indiana, of which he was chosen Captain. He was with his regiment in all its en­ gagements, and for gnllnnt conduct on Stone River’s contested field won the rank of Major, and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in March. 1863, and on the death of the colonel became com­ mander of the regiment. For a year he endured the horrors of Libby prison, and escaped through the historic tunnel in February, 1864. Afterward ho rendered important service In the Army of the Cumberland, protecting the line of sup­ plies between Stevenson nnd Decatur, on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and Tennessee River, during the advance on Atlanta. At the battle of Nashville he received the personal thanks of General Thomas. After the war. owing to illhealth, arising from confinement in Libby, bo resided* in Nashville, Tenn., for six years, but returned to Indianapolis in 1871, where he has since lived. He be­ came a member of the G. A. R. in 1867, and on the reorganization of the Depart­ ment of Indiana served as Commander o^ George H. Thomas Post, tha largest post in the department. He was appointed assistant adjutant general of thia depart­ ment in 1887, and reappointed three times. In 1891. declining a fifth term, he was chosen Department Commander, and at Indianapolis, in 1893, was chosen Senior Vice Commander-in-chief. He possesses in a high degree executive ability, nnd is in every way fitted to fill with honor the position of Commander-in-chief. ■ntueky, Which Btlil A town that once yave premise of riv­ aling Chicago and St Ixniia in com­ mercial importance tn the West is Vin­ cennes, Ind., situated about half way between Cluclnbatl and St Louis, with 96 posts; Delaware, 1; Iowa, 2; Ka iana. 11: Maine. 1; Ma>| chusetts, 8; Michigan, • 1 ,* jersey, 2: New York, 5; Ohio, Peiinsylrania, 11; Vermont. 2; Went V----2; Wisconsin, 3.

When the citizens had put the finishing touches to the street decorations and th® triumphal arches, both the residence and -the business districts presented a beauti­ ful appearance. The Iowa boys took along the A. O. U. W. band of thirty-five pieces from Cedar Falls. Col. J. K. Thompson, department commander, with his staff, was with th® delegation. Two special trains were necessary to take Wisconsin’s delegation. Maryland sent a good crowd, and they hud a cracking band which played with much vim “Maryland. My Maryland." One of the moat pleasing incidents of the encampment was the presentation to Commander-in-chief Lawler by the aides de camp on his personal staff of one of the finest diamond badges ever made in this country. More than.$4,5OO was thus collected and the order for the budge was placed in the hands of one of the most famous jewelry firms in the country. The badge is said to be one of the hand­ somest pieces of work of the kind over niade. It is solid gold and imbedded in the meta) are several large diamonds and other precious stones. All of the em­ blems of the order ore engraved on it, and on the reverse side is an appropriate inscription giving the dnje of presenta­ tion and other data. At different times during the week six. national conventions were in session. These comprised the national encamp­ ment of the Gram! Array nnd the no­ tional scusions of the Woman's Relief Corps, laidics of the Grand Army. Na­ tional Association of Naval Veterans, National Association Daughters of Vet­ erans. and National Association of Union ex-I’risouers of War. In addition to those events th’erc were n score or more of campfires, at some of which e;. I’resr-e.it liurrinoii, uov. .ucixinley, cx-Speakcr J.

They had their own bands and drum corps, nnd mustered a big crowd. At the big Jeffersonville, Ind., camp­ fire Gov. Claude Matthews, Corporal Tunner nnd Cea. Lew Wallace spoke to i’.lWO JHTSOtlS. In the dinpcd at the Indiana prison south forty-live convict veterans held tho most unique campfire of the week by special permission of Warden Hert. The coat lapel buttons of the United Confederate Veteran® were to be seen on every bond, but their wearers acted ns guides, philosophers and friends to their guests of the week. That latcbstring concerning wnich tho brilliant Henry Watteraop talked so elo­ quently before the members of the Pitts­ burg encampment was very n»uch in evi­ dence. Not one nlqne, but a hundred of them, hanging on the outside. It is doubtful if tho city ever before entertained so many guests. Certain it is, the town never befor* had within its limits so many battle-scarred soldiers. Tho reception by the Woman’s Relief Corps to Commander Lawler was tho leading social event of tlfc week. Thou­ sands of luith the blue and the gray at­ tended. For two hours veterans aud their wives paid their respects to the re­ ceiving party. It is said by veterans who have attended every encampment that the reception surpassed anything of the kind over held. In the big parade was the old war horse Ne*L aged 40 years. His present owner, B. !•’. Crawford, of Northeast, Pennsyl­ vania, got possession of him thirty-two years ago nnd says Ne<| was then 8 years old, according to his mouth. Until five years ago Ned did his share of the work on Mr. Crawford's Pennsylvania farm. Ned was captured from Gen. Jubal Ear­ ly’s eon>s near Washington, and was giv­ en to his present owner to replace an ani­ mal which had been shot in a skirmish. At the close of the war Mr. Crawford left Washington on Ned’s back. Nod lias been conspicuous at former encamp­ ments. He gave out nt 1’ittsburg last year, and in the Louisville parade be rod® on a float. The Chicago posts took the city by storm. The famous Columbia, that post so loved by Southerners, marched at one® to the Galt House, nnd were wildly cheer­ ed as they passed through the streets. When they reached tho hotel scores of ex­ Confederates bld them welcome to Ken­ tucky, nnd the Chicago men were tonsted ahd feasted to repletion.

William Henry Harrison’s house and cx-President Tyler's old mansion. The old Harrison house has the appearance of a modern two-story dwelling bouse. There have been some additions to the original structure, aud there is nothing about the buildlug to excite the atten­ tion of one who does not know its his­ tory. Work on the house was started In 1806, under tho personal direction of Gen. Harrison. although, on account of scarcity of material and labor, it was not completed until two years later. The original building consisted of but four rooms, two upstairs and two down, ■with a basement. There are two en­ trances, the main doorway, facing the south. The west side of the7 house Is bow-shaped, and In the time of the conflicts with the Indians it contained port boles. For this same reason lock­ ers were placed Inside the window cas­ Ings to conceal their ammunition.

Without taking the time to balance these rival claims, however, they may all be summarily swept aside with tho statement that women's lit­ erary clubs arc known to be as oW as the year 1400. when a ladles' society for purposes of culture was formed at Venice, and, for some inscrutable rea­ son, the ladies decided to distinguish themselves from other women by 'toe color of their hosiery, and so came to to known as the “Blue Stocking*."

Fads may be amusing to those wlio cultivate them not, but they also have their uses, for not infrequently they lead.to something better. There Is an East Indian tale of a man who carried a bundle of textile fabrics tlirough a garden of roses, and was afterward surprised and delighted to find that his goods had become greatly enhanced in value from the fact that they liad ab­ sorbed tbe perfume of tbe flowers while passing between the rows of blossoms. So It Is possible that what Holland calls “an armful of beautiful dust" may. in passing through the gardens of litera­ ture, absorb so much of the fragrance of j»octry nnd fiction as to to rendered more valuable both for purposes mis­ cellaneous and matrimonial.

The Apple as a Timber Tree. In some sections of this country the apple tree Is looked on for Its product ns a piece of timber, as well as a fruit­ producing article. For this reason the old German fruit growers in the vicin­ ity of Philadelphia, .always aimed to get a nice straight trunk to an apple tree and train It up comparatively hlRh before allowing It to form a head. Mod­ erns have supposed that the chief ob­ ject to be gained by this method ,ot training was in order to facilitate plowing operations, but the ultimate end In having a good trunk for timber purposes was not forgotten. In this particular region, tbe wood was used chiefly for shoemakers’ lasts—a busi­ ness which. In the earlier history of Philadelphia, did much to help the trade of that famous manufacturing center of population. The apple re­ gions have mostly disappeared from that vicinity; but other sections of the country seem to understand the value of apple tree wood. It la stated In the Country Gentleman that a fruit grower of Cayuga sold to a well-known firm of snwinnkers of Philadelphia—Dlsston & Sons—the trunks of some of their trees, which were cut away because the tree$ had grown too closely to­ gether, to the value of $500. In this case, the wood was of course used for the handle of saws.—Meehan's. Deep Breathing. Cultivate tbe habit of breathing through the nose and taking deep breath*.

The change, too, Is to be pf the most ruinous sort, when economy Is considered, tor It of­ fers very few opportunities for making over the discarded waists. White ones may be utilized, or even those that are made up with a lot of white, by procur­ ing white skirts to accompany them.

FALLS LIKE A TRAP. Grand Stand at Louisville Gives Way, Injuring Many. Many persons were injured Thursday night by the falling of the section of the grand stand erected on the river front At Louisville, Ky., for the purpose of wit­ nessing the fireworks in honor of the U. The-portion of the grand stand which fell was about 4<»0 feet long and sixty feet wide. It was the lower part, and only elevated about two feet. Immediately behind this part were scats elevated eight to twenty feet. Ou the entire stand there were 50.0U0 people. That no one was killed is one of the marvels. As the stand careened the planks were forced together, and the feet and legs of hun­ dreds of spectators were caught as In a huge trap. The noise of the exploding bombs and the fireworks and the cheering of the crowd was so great that only those Adjacent to the portion of the grand stand which fell could hear it.

On the portion of the grand stand which fell tiier- was a scene of horrifying con­ fusion. Mr. Vreelaud, assistant city ed­ itor of the Courier-Journal, was present when the accident occurred. "It was awful," he said. “I saw men nnd women falling everywhere. Wheth­ er they were fainting from fright or i»ain I could not say. Then a panic followed. Those who esenpod being caught in the trap made a mad rush for the entrance, trampling over those wha had fallen, while those who had been caught screamcd for aid. Meantime the vast multitude on nil sides continued to cheer and applaud the grand fireworks that continued to explode and light up the sky." A number of Grand Army veterans who were witnexses of the accident said they aided a large number of people who had been bruised and injured aliout the logs to carriages and sent them to their hotcla nnd homes.

Rarely, indeed, does th,e hunter find more than’ a family of moose together, even in the dead of winter, when they “yard up" In a given locality for days or week® at a time. By reason of h'.» great size, his savory flesh, his much-prized bead, nnd the dif­ ficulty of killing him, this animal has always been very attractive to sports­ men and naturalists, and pot-hunters also. As a result, our leading scien­ tific museum*.now possess more nnd finer mounted specimens of this spe­ cies than of any other large game ani­ mal of America except the bison.

The Speed of Electricity. The speed of electricity under the most favorable conditions Is now es­ tablished to be 180.000 miles a second. What this enormous speed implies is somewhat dimly suggested by an illus­ tration recently used by the eminent scientist Sir Robert Bell. Suppose that n row of telegraph posts 25,000 miles long were erected around the earth at tho equator. Suppose that a wire were stretched upon these posts for thia cir­ cuit of 25.000 miles, nnd that then an­ other complete circuit was taken by the same wire around the same posts, and then another and yet another. In fact, let the wire be wound no fewer than seven times completely about this great globe. We should then find that nn electric signal sent Into the wire at one end would accomplish the circuit In one second of time.—St. Ixiuis Globe* Democrat. A Pretty Tough State.

Hartl to Convince. It took six visits to a presentation of the danse du ventre by Turkish girls a’ Atlantic City, N. J., to convince the counciimeu of that town that the dance was Improper. Several residents of the town protested to the council that the exhibition was Immoral, and the Mayor and Council promptly went In a body to see It themselves. Half the city fathers were unable to decide on the first visit and they went to see It again on four succeeding evenings, and even then one councilman remained unconvinced and could not decide that the'exhibition should be suppressed until he had seen It once more. ~ The show was closed.

Ill* South and Its people turned every­ thing loose and went in for a period of festivities and freedom, with tbe dual desire to celebrate the dedication and to honor the stars arid stripes.

The only private monument yet con­ tracted for is to be erected to eoiumemmorate the valor of Georgo W. Imudrum, a lieutenant of the Second Ohio Regi­ ment. who was shot on the afternoon of Sept. 20, 1868, by some men of tho Third Tennessee Regiment, while carrying a verbal message from General Thomas to General Rosecrnn*. His dying words were: “I am glad to have s.hed my blood in so noble a cause." But while the national government baa marked these positions it has been left to the Stales having troops in the battles to erect monuments to Stale regiments and organizations and lo the military societies to commemorate the particular services of their membership. ■ Twenty-eight States had organizations in these battles, a more general represen­ tation than appeared upon any other bat­ tlefield of the war. Five States had troops on both sides—Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis­ souri, West Virginia and Maryland. At Chickamauga Ro e ran*hadl29regim< nts of infantry nnd enough cavalry and artil­ lery to make up a total of 182 organiza­ tions. Bragg had 138 regiments of in1 fantry. 33 of cavalry, and 41 batteries. Still, despite the general representation, four Northern States furnished the bullr of the Union troops. These were Ohio with 55 organizations. Indiana with 37, Illinois with 33, and Kentucky with 17. On tho Confederate side Tennessee had 56 organizations at Chickamauga, Ala­ bama had 36, Georgia 24, Mississippi 21, nnd Arkansas 16. In the Chattanooga movement Grant had 220 regiment* of in­ fantry nnd, with his cavalry and artillery, 261 organizations. Bragg had 163 regi­ ments of infantry. 33 regiments of cav­ alry and 46 batteries, altogether 242 or­ ganizations. Tbe distribution by States was a little wider, but th<*bulk of tho troops were furnished by Ohio.

Moat Remarkable and Sancuinnry ot It wns on tho afurnoon of Sept IS. 1863. that the first shot was fired. All that day Bragg, who had been flunked out of Chattanooga, had been trying to get his army between Rosencrnns and the ■.XCAMiUn SPECIMEN MONUMENT TO TOR UNITED City of Chattanooga, and Kosecrans, who had sent his army South in pursuit of Bragg, baring discovered Bragg’s design, was making an equally desperate effort to concentrate his scattered divisions be­ tween Bragg and the city. At that time the forest was primeval in denseneM, and the underbrush so thick that it was im­ possible to see more than 100 yards ahead. Ignorant of each other's exact location, the two armies come nearer to each other. At daybreak on Saturday morning, Sept. 10, they came face to face in this forest of pines and Indian-like jungle of under­ brush, and by 7:30 o’clock that morning the most remarkable battle of the cirll The losses were appalling. Its the next forty-eight hour* 26,000 men were killed, and neither aide had won. At the end of two days both armies withdrew from the field. General Rosecrans retaining pos­ session of Chattanooga, the objective point of the campaign. General Rosocrans had in action thirty brigades of in­ fantry, five of cavalry, one of mounted in­ fantry and thirty-three lotteries, aggre­ gating 56,160 officer* and men.

The short crops had something to do with the low price; but the falling off In tbe demand for horses, by reason of the in­ troduction of electricity as a motor, the bicycle and other causes, bad far more to do'with fixing the price. It is doubt­ ful if the prejudice agalust the use of horseflesh as food In this country will ever be'wholiy overcome, and tbe Ger­ mans can eat our surplus horses while we keep and consume, our beef aud pork. . There is no saultary reason why horseflesh should not be used for food, ns the horse eats the same things that the ox does, and is, if any difference, more dainty about what he eats. It is simply a prejudice, that is largely sen­ timental, and founded on the belief that the horse Is intended for better things than to become food.

Every State in tho Union appoint­ ed comniusivncrx, as did many Euro­ pean countries, and almost every South and Centra! American republic. The plans nnd apecificnlions ot the buildings were approved in the early part of tho present year. .Three hundred thmmand dollars in bonds, guaranteed by the gate receipts, were issued, on which cash was promptly advanced, so that tbe exposition soon found itself in poaseaxion of ample funds with which to push tbe work of con­ struction. The movement has progressed without a hitch from that day to this and the result will be seen by Che more than ■*2.000,000 visitors who are expected this fall.” WILL NOT EXECUTE THEM. DUNRAVEN—“I won’t play with sources not yet fully developed. A pecu­ liarly interesting feature of it will be the section devoted tu the negro. For tbe first time the colored people will have their own building and will show the world what they can do in the arts and Industries and how much they hare ac­ complished in the upbuilding of the South. Indeed. Atlanta has everything in ita favor— a united people working har­ moniously together, ambition, public spirit, business enterprise, nnd local pa.triotlam. The Atlanta Exposition will be a World’s Fair only on n reduced scale. Those who visited nnd admired the White City in Jackson Park cannot fail to find pleasure in a look from the entrance gate In Piedmont I’ark. The Midway of the World’s Fair is re­ produced. It is not of the same magni­ tude. Some attractions are to be iwn not on exhibit in Chicago and many of the old Midway features are missinr on Atlanta's thoroughfare of nations.

The work of the British and American joint com. mission is therefore stopped. Without the presence of a foreign fleet no punish­ ment for tbe massacre is probable. Tbs vegetarians are rclujpg on official sym­ pathy to begin nguia seizing and tortur­ ing Christians. The Chinese officials nt Ku Cheng are proving obstinate over the results of the. inquiry into the outrages upon missionaries nnd arc unwilling to sentence tho guilty.

Tho oflicinls of the War Department, nt the direction of Secretary laimout, mode preparations for the farewell to Lieut. Gen. Schofield, commanding tho army, on the 29th of September, the six­ ty-fourth anniversary of his birth. It had long been proposed to make bis leavotakiug a notable one, many officers, both in the army nnd navy, personally present­ ing the retiring oh! warrior with some token of the friendship and esteem they feel for him. Personally Gen. Schofield has made a popular commanding officer of the army. He puts on no frills with those who are brought Into social or business inter­ course with him. His door has always been open to those who desire to call upo» him In his office in the War Depart­ ment, and while he is dignified and busi­ ness-like in bis dealings, yet his manner is nt once courteous and .even cordial t< those who have even but a slight ac­ quaintance with him. With Gen. Schofield’s retirement the title “lieutenant general of the army” dies. He has only held this official titlo more.’’ main entrance of the exposition. At the entrance is the Administration Building nnd just east of it the Fire Department House, where several companies and ap­ paratus will stay during the exposition. Now that the exposition has thrown open its gates to visitors from all parts of the world the story of the conception ot the enterprise will be read with interest. In a recent conreraation on the subject Editor Clark Howell, who has been one of the hardest workers for tbe success of the undertaking !■ Atlanta, said: “On the morning of the 17th of Decem­ ber, 1893, only two months after the closing of the World’s Fair, Colonel Will­ iam A. Hemphill suggested to me In casual conversation that Atlanta ought to inaugurate some movement which would act as an antidote for the hard times from which the whole country was suffering. I promptly acquiesced in the suggestion that something must be done. *1 do not know,’ said he. nnd then, sud­ denly stopping: ’I hare it; let’s bare an exposition!* whereupon he developed the idea that the best way to meet the general depression was by launching an undertak­ ing which would bring our people together and give them something to do while others were talking about disaster and de­ pression." Mr. Howell then told how tbe people were inspired with tbe exposition idea, of the business men’s meeting when the first active steps wore taken, tbe appointment of a general subcommittee and tbe deter­ mination to raise a preliminary fund of at least $200,000. Continuing, he said: “But it wns nc«-essary that there should be some distinctive central idea, around which the exposition should be built. It would not do to go before the world that Atlanta wns getting up an exposition with the sole idea of stemming the tide of de­ pression. Out of tbe discussion was evolved the keynote bn which the music of the whole movement was based. It was that tbe exposition should have as Its leading pun»osc the establishment of closer trade relations between the United States and tbe Central nud South Ameri­ can republics. The Kuggcstion met the Immediate approval of the industrial and commercial centers. "Tbe $200,000 needed as a preliminary fund bad been pledged in cash sul>scri;>tions in less than a week, even the news­ boys and the children coritribnling their mites, the city appropriating $75,000. the additional $125.(4)0 being raised in per­ sonal aubscriptiona.

England, and Italy have sent their best products in liberal arts and in the sciences. The fertile South has emptied tbe choicest fruits of its fields and hills aud factories into the exposition. The highest types of agricultural prod­ ucts possible to the rich lands of the Southern States arc here in attractive ar­ rangement. The products of tbe South's factories are heaped in abundance in tbe buildings. The great resources of mine tnd forest show the vast possibilities of this section The countries of South America will be most creditably represented. There is no doubt that one of the cardinal purposes of the exposition, the opening up of better trade relations between tbe South and tbe South and Central American countries, will be realized as a result of tbe enter­ prise.

'-The Department of State is lu receipt of a report on the trade of China for 1894 prepared by the secretary of the British legation st Pekin. The most remarkable feature of this trade for the year is found in the facts that, notwithstanding the Japanese war and many other untoward circumstances, good results were obtained and that a promising revival of commer­ cial irtwiperity has set in. Both export* and imports show an advance and the customs revenue was Increased by every division of trade, with the one exception of indjnn opium. The receipts from the exports exceeded the maximum-collected during the most prosperous dayj» of the tea trade, hi accounting for thia condi­ tion the author of the report says no porta were ^blockaded .during the war ami the usual* calamities of the war were alrnaat wholly absent. The report takes, the po­ sition that the opening of the ports of Sueboti and Hangchou by tho Japanese treaty will have little influence on the volume and value of foreign trade, oti account of the absence of banking and1 shifting facilities at those places. Com-1 menting upon tho effect of the war. the writer of the report says: Even if, a% may be tho case,t China has learned no lesson by the war, yet it seems acartdy credible that she will be able to avoid some measures of reorganization, If not merely in self-defense, at least by the neccwrity of providing money for’the large indemnity which must lx- paid.

Monday afternoon the remains of four Chlnauicu were exhumed at Columbus, Ohio, and packed iu zinc boxes to be shipped to China. Great consternation was caused when it w(is found that the body of one of them, that of Me Lung, wlw. embraced tb<- Christian religion be­ fore he died, bad turned to stone. As the box provided for it was not half as long as the body, it became necessary to break the petrified corpse. To do this the Chi­ namen indulged in a tug-of-wnr v. itli the corpse, breaking the kgs. arms and head off. Information has come to the Federal authorities at San Francisco that -many British sailing schooners have been car­ rying arms in open defiance of the treaty and that tho hunter* hare boldly violated every dauae of tho law. Complaints will be made to the State Department and the matter will be laid before tho British Government. Hand-to-Haad Fight with Ranchmen.

BLOOMERS AND BICYCLES. Is a ballet called "Venus," per formed at La Scala, In Milan, the prin­ cipal scene brings in a corps of women bicyclist* arrayed in coetumes which arc less than “rational.” Bictcleb are said to have seriously affected the sale of pianos in England. The reason Ls that when a girl is asked to choose between the two for a pres­ ent she invariably selects the wheel. Japanese postmen whose routes carry them into the country use bicycles. Their wheels are made by local manufacturers, who have appro­ priated improvements from both Brit­ ish and American patent*. Several bicycling girls at Coldwater. Mich., have outgrown the bloomer stage, according to a Detroit newspa­ per, and now ride in the streets and suburbs wearing complete masculine wheel costumes—knickerbockers, golf stockings and short jackets. Nearly *400,000 is the amount ob­ tained from the bicycle tax this year by the French government, the number of machines declared being Just under 300,000. They are well spread over the whole country, since Paris and the De­ partment of the Seine return S8.000, less than a fifth of the total. A fashionable tailor of New York, who makes garments forthose who can afford to pay his prices, predicts that the donning of knickerbockers by wheelmen will lead to the revival of the old custom of wearing knee breeches; but it is not every dude who who would like to display his calves on Broadway or the Bowery.

It will be given soon at the Grand opera. At the Theater Libre next season operatic pieces will be given as well as playa.

A tine old round tower high on a hill and tbe cathedral ■Sb which is the bell which inspired Schiller's “Song of the Bell" are the •hlef attractions. Now began our real ride In the Alps, 'lor we set out for Zurich. What Is aiding a bicycle in the Alps? It Is partly being a bird, flying and float­ ing, partly being a galley slave, toll­ ing and moiling. We would make a Jong ascent with our muscles taut and the sprocket chain creaking and. our minds all oblivious to the billowy bills about us, then from the summit all Is xelaxed and with feet on tbe coasters, we float for two or three miles and ex-«ialm every now and then in wonder •r admiration over some view which we are now perfeedv free to enjoy. We reached Zurich. Think of a site In•lablted.ln prehistoric times, as Lacus­ trine remains show. Imagine a long, Sile green lake whose shores are outned by orchards, vineyards and vil­ lages. Behind this scence, conjure •lofty alpine mountains with their dia­ dems of snow and the fantastic peaks af the Rosstock range. Fancy your•eiTwi a long bridge which spans tbe •cotfof tbe lake where the river enters, upon wbose-banks the city of Zurich les; then look up the river lined by quaint houses, a modern library, and an olA time stained cathedral. But you cannot make yourself as uncomlortable as we were when we tried to •nd our way to Zug. There are seven best ways and we found seyen differ­ ent peopfe who spoke seven different knguages uou nugunBVo and vehemently 'tuviucuvij ou advised » locu a -aertaln route and asserted solemnly ■that all others were impassible.

We • soon got a race with a steam tramway and unconslously covered a great deal ef ground and ourselves with cheap glory by beating the cars. Darkness same on and we were on a lonely mountain road, overarched by pine trees. In the twilight there was a Ight green haze over everything. Tbe air was pure and the night Insects busily hummed about us but ourspeed saved us from any upleasant exper­ iences, at last a long glorious coast and we found ourselves in Zug where a night’s rest left us light hearted and •pened eyed for the lake beauties about us. Views of the Rigi mountains and Pilatus and the Bernese Alps are the •harm of Zug, together with its an­ tique walls and towers. On a lonely mad we -set out for Luverne; the creak of a teamster’s whip alone dis­ turbed the stillness. This teamster •f the mountains always gets his cart and oxen at an angle across the road and then stone them to see you go by when you can’t. The valley of the Emme is a characteristic Swiss vale where the steep sides are dotted with cottages and the bottom lands have an occasional town. The prosperous Swiss farmer has a cottage with an xmbrella like roof which projects sometimes ten feet over the sides and the siding looks like tbe scales of a Mrge fish. The windows are often Hied with flowers. These dwellings are very pleasing and pretty in their place and their place is a Swiss valley. They seem part of the landscape. We were obliged to buy our dinner at one •f these cottages of the humbler class, and while we ate our cqaree bred and milk and Harry ate some horrible pork which he purchased additional, I noted the interior. A stone floor, a tailing supported by huge beams smoked black, a stoye about tbe size •< a steamer trunk, a clock with a brass face and a lame tick, a razor bung over the door like Damocles complete tbe visible interior, but there is an odorifeous and auriferous In­ terior which cannot be told.

Valleys of rich pasture land nnd, blirh above, beautiful pine forests pleased the eyes and made our ride delightful. The houses remind us of that of Little Red Ridinghood’s grand mother. Great, bulky round shouldered mountains rise at times right- before you and as they sit upon tkelr tbrooes of rock with their robes of forests they seem majestically to defy vour passage, but the road goes round and tbe railroad good, n atu red­ ly dives through.

Rev. William E. Hinshaw'is guilty of the murder of Ida wife aud will spend the remainder of his life .in prison. Such is the verdict of the Danville, Ind., jury after being out-two hours and twenty minutes. Jan. 10 hurt William E. Hinshaw was found on the road in front of bin house in Belleville, Hendricks County, with sevmteen’raxor cuts on bl» person and two pistol wounds. He said robbers had en­ tered the bonne and shot his wife. He had engaged in a deadly encounter with them and they bad inflicted the wounds before leaving. He directed those who found him to hunt his'svife, jind she was found UDConadons with a bullet In her head. She lived sixteen hours, but never spoke. Hinshaw lay in bed for ten days and was then well. His story was be­ lieved nt first, then suspicion began to grow that the burglar story was not rea­ sonable. In the snow on the ground his tracks could be seen, but no tracks of a .burglar. His conduct was fiippnnt and he continued to preach. He was popular with the wotpen and it was common talk he was n very light-hearted widower. Tbe grand jury oonvraetf nnd he was indicted, arrested, and lay in jail since May. His friends gathered around him and visited him constantly in jail. Sept. 4 his trial commenced. The trial has covered four weeks, one week of which time was lost through the sickness of a juror. The trial fans l*en most bit­ terly contested, there bring expert testi­ mony of the highest order on the point of whether thf woman could.have walked and talked after recriviug the fatal wound in the head. Both sides had ex­ pert testimony on this. The case was argued fire days aud onehalf most exhaustively - mid the short time the Jury was out showed that the jury determined « rcty point us they went along. Tho verdict meets public approval. When the defendant rofused/to go on the stand in his awn behalf there was noth­ ing more needed to convince most people that he was guilty, although a hanged jury was the most they expected out of tbe trial. Hinshaw’s attorneys will file an application for a new trial, which, if granted, will result In a change of venue. MILES GETS THE COMMAND. Formal Order I •'■tied by Secretary Lamont Assigning That Duty. Secretary Lamont issued an order Wednesday afternoon.detailing General Miles to duty in Washington as general of tbe army, and General Huger, now on special duty in Washington, to the com­ mand the department of the East, with headquarters in New York. Colonel Thomas M. Vincent, who has been Lieutenant General Schofield's chief of staff, has been assigned to duty in the vested with full power to license dogs, and to capture, detain and.

Accordingly tbe old pound, at tbe foot of 102(1 street apd the East river, was‘converted Into a borne for jestrays. The Interior has been fitted up with every pooalble convenience for the maintenance of captured ani­ mals and for destroying them without pain in case they are uotclaimed within the time fixed by the’law, which Is for-( ty-eight hours. Asphyxiation was de­ cided upon as the kindest method. Tbe society's service at the prelent time requires four ambulances nnd two wagons spwlally constructed for their purpose, eight horses, with necessary arable room, and tweiity-^wo persons, who are at work in different relays by day nnd by night. Only unlicensed dogs are seized. Any cat found without a collar bear­ ing the name and residence of Its own­ er Is promptly captured. If n dog is taken to the shelter wearing a collar on which its owner’s name and address appear, tbe person to whom the dog be­ longs is Immediately notified, and an opportunity afforded for its redemp­ tion. Any dog may be redeemed for 83. Tbe shelter has five or six pens for dogs, the floors of which are covered with dean sawdust. Each of these pens, which are larger, lighter and bettor ventilated than most bedrooms in apartment houses in New York, is provided with a window. On the op­ posite side of tbe bulldiug are rows of cages for the reception of cats.

All corn cannot bo husked by this plan, as It necessitates cutting, shocking and running the cur­ ed fodder through tbe busker.,but Im­ proved corn binders have made this practice more common than would have been possible a few years ago.

Some of them were iu favor of enjoining the exposition directors from allowing liquor to be sold on the grounds, while others fsvprad bringing the matter to the ntteutiou of the grand jury.

The device shown In Fig. 1 repre­ sents tbe front part of the running gear of a common farm wagon to which ia attached n sort of fodder or brush frame. This frame Is constructed as follows: Take two 3x3-inch poles, 12 feet long, place them In position us shown at Fig. 1; a a a are bardwood boards 8 inches wide. The last one Is 8 feet long, with the other two to cor­ respond. These are nailed to the poles. At b b are holes Id which stakes un­ placed to prevent fodder or brush slip­ ping off. The upper ends of tbe poles are placed on the bolster of the wagon; the lower drag on the ground. A cou­ pling pole runs from the axle to the crosspiece, c. This attaches the fodder - trag securely to the wagon and permits of turning, etc. The figure shows tho drag In position as seen from above. As no Iron work Is necessary, any farmer can easily construct one him­ self. The illustration renders its building perfectly easy. The drag Is not only useful for battling fodder, blit homes handy iu disposing of brush or any bulky material which Is difficult to load upon wagon.*}. A variation of this device, made specially for loading corn fodder, is shown In Fig. 2. Cut a IG-foot, 2-lncli board 12 inches wide Into two equal lengths. Place those side by side flatwise, a a. aud secure firmly by means of 2x2-inch cleats, b. Bore an auger hole near the upper end of each board, nnd with stay chains fasten this ladder to back end of the rack.

It is In most cases on nccouut of an overloaded stomach. They begin to feed heartily at nl>out three weeks old, and. If fed liberally, they will gorge themselves. The remedjT Is simple If taken in time. If they have been fed slop, cut down the amount If they have been allowed a full feed ot corn, limit them in this. Scorched flour of a cheap grade, fed dry. will aid in check­ ing the trouble. It hi well to remember that the sow must be put under the same treatment ns the pigs. It Is use­ less to try to check the trouble Iu the pigs, and continue to crowd the sow with rich rations. When the trouble commences In a litter, all the litter arc apt to be affected. When once they are taken with this trouble the difficulty In getting all to going again does nor lie so much tn checklug It as in feeding up to full rations again with recurrence of the trouble. With continued recur­ rence the trouble becomes chronic. When It reaches this stage, the pigs are of little value, us it Ik almost Impossible to get them back to their former thrif­ ty condition.—National Stockman.

The sleeve puffs Ijegln below the’ shoulders and are held by bands of embroidered velvet, and are finished at the elbows with ribbon bows. Tbe ends of tbe ribbon belt reach nearly to the hem of the skirt. Belts with long ribbon ends are now plentiful, aud their affect Is very graceful, furnishing a relief from the severity of the round belt so long worn. Very pretty ones for tbe girl who still wears a shirt waist and a plain skirt are of wide plaid silk ribbon. The plaid Is in the brightest colors and Is often the only touch of color about the gown. This Is one of the little novelties that are really dressy and not a bit common yetPuffs on the sleeves are being Bet lower, but at the same time the line, following without angle the line of the’ shoulder Itself is still recognized as artistic and generally becoming. In­ deed. the best taste seems in favor of exaggerating the effect of width across the shoulder by tho lengthening of the shoulder line, but the deflection of Its angle by any violent and arbitrary change of direction Is,avoided.

Edefokof News: I cloned my last letter after relating our experience In Brleg and the start up tbe pass. Then-, was a storm brew­ ing and great black clouds were hiding the mountain {leaks. Darkness was hastened by these sable mists and ad­ ded to thw there were lighter exhal­ ations floating up tbe valley and now and then enveloping us. We had ex­ pected nothing but walking and push­ ing our wheels for flfteen miles, so we bowed our heads, closed our teeth de­ terminedly and plodded on. We had already ridden seventy miles that day, and our progress wan just that weary machine-like drawing one leg after, the other whllff mentally we went In­ to a sort of painful dn am. oblivious to all except toe road and the snail-like advance oyer IL Tbe mountaineers we met smiled knowingly nnd hurried on driving their herds of goats. Everybody was coml ng down the pass except our foolhardy selves. At last we halt­ ed near by a spring and took outof my bundle the strawberries and bread tiefore mentioned. Tbe berries were jam by this time but we spread the ruess on slices of bread and laughing,ate our Improvised supper. Then we advanced again upon the road which zig-zagged up the steep mountain side. It was dark and rain fell Id frequent showers Of shutt duration. Absolutely no shel­ ter except ao occasional niche in the rock where a bizarro painted virgin appeared behind the t»ars and sur­ rounded by old wreathes of dead flow­ ers. All at once lhe road seemed to end, at the verge of a frightful preci­ pice, but, In reality, there was an ab­ rupt turn and the road was cut for some distance In tbe face of the rock. We gazed down Into the valley, over tbe pa rape L .and we thought of Sinbad's valley of diamonds and the roc and pieces of meaL In tbe darkness, the chasm was simply terrific. Then there was a long distance which Is to me a confusion of horrors. Streaks of lightning gave us glimpses of depths unfathomable, heights inaccessible and an Intermin­ able road ahead of us. The pines swayed and cracked above us and deep dowu In tbe chasm we could bear the rumbling, growling and splashing Saltlne as It tumbled along iu rocky gorge. But relief always comes Just as troubks become unendurable and a turn revealed tbe long hoped“refuge,” as hotels on a mountain pa^s are called. We stored our wheels In a barn amid various fowls and vehicles and then urged tbe landlady to prepare our bed at once. She cuffed each one of thir­ teen children and sent, approximately, two-thirds of them ou various errands and soon beckoned us to follow her while she led with a flickering candle up rickety stairs, through shaky pas­ sages to a room apart, where she left us with half a candle to light us about disrobing. We soon ascended the pre­ cipitous bed and upon Its dizzy summit fell asleep. About midnight we awoke amidst a quaking and roaring and whistling and found tbe house rock­ ing and tbe window blown ouL The wind seemed to expand tbe room like a balloon. Boards cracked and a loose splinter in the celling vibrated until it muaned and shrieked. The demons of the mountains seemed freed and above tbe noise of tbe tempest we could bear crashing trees and tumbling rocks. It was .1 true Walpurgis night and every witch was pounding that no­ te! with her broom stick, I am sure. This ended In lhe conventional way. Tbe rah) ceased, the wind went down and we slept. Morning at last and we departed. Tbe valley was filled with mist and clouds blown about between us and tbe mountains, and at times wrapped us up. There was a rumbling io gorg­ es overcharged by the torrents of tbe night. I heard tbe twitter of a single bird In that vast solitude and lonelinew. The wind blew tbe clouds along rapidly. Now we are folded in the mists, now looking through clear air at Monte Leon and other famous peaks: sometimes plodding blindly on, and again amazed by grand abysses and by oyerbanglog cliffs. Thunder­ ing cascades pour oyer the galleries and tunnels through which we passed. Galleries are stone sheds extending from tbe mountain side over tbe road to protect the traveler from avalanches At last, near tbe tup of the pass, we looked upon those frozen hurricanes, tbe glaciers.

I can make you better prices than any other firm on WOOD or STEEL MILLS, It's Getting Late to Paint, but the old saying, “Never too late to mend”applies to painting as well. And should you “mend,” you are anxious to do the best job you know how. Therefore why not put on. the best paint made when you paint. • ‘What is worth doing at all is worth doing well,” and if you use the best paint made you surely can do no better.

He had then falling «t«*adi!y wince he Wk* Nothing has been done by our Govern­ ment with reference to the Veucxuela boundary controversy since Secretary Grraham forwarded Minister Bayard a copy of the resolution passed by the lato Congrtau urging Great Britain to submit the disputed question to arbitration. It is raid, however, that Secretory Olney has prepared n note for Mr. Bayard to lay before Ixmi Salisbury that contains a more forcible expression of the views of the United States on th!* subject than has yet been oflieially uttered. This dispatch is of a positive and moat unequivocal na­ ture. A* soon as it shall be jdawd before the British Government it will raise a question which ran be settled only by rhe retreat of one or the other Government. The stand taken by the United States in this dispatch is one which involves the oldest and' most sacred tradition of the Government—the enforcement of the Moans? doctrine. Secretary Olney’s dispatch is in sub­ stance a declaration in the most positive language that the United States will never consent to British occnpstk-n of the dis­ puted territory in Venezuela unless that nation's right thereto i* first determined by arbitration. While this declaration is substantially the same as that which was made somejnofiths ngo, and to which tbe British Foreign Office replied with a statenieu’t that the English right to a part of the territory in question roukl be sub­ mitted to arbitration, the right to another part of the region in question could not be submitted to such arbitration, When Great Britain took this ground the question which President Cltveland and his advisers had to decide was wheth­ er tbe United States is bound by the Mon­ roe doctrine and by her dignity to insist that all the territory in dispute should be submitted to arbitration, or whether by conceding England’s contention we should virtually abandon the field and leave Venexueln to fight it* out alone. Few more serious questions have presented them­ selves to tbe American administration within recent years. The decision of tho President and his Cabinet advisers, after careful discussion and painstaking investigation, is that a bold nnd consistent policy shall be adopt­ ed, and this policy has be«n formulated in the dispatch which Ambassador Bay­ ard will lay before the British Govern­ ment as soon ns lie returns from his pres­ ent journey to Scotland. The dispatch meets England's rejoinder with a reaffirmation of the principle of original contention expressed in phrases which leave no possibility of doubt ns to the meaning and earnestness of the Uni­ ted State*. It does more. In polite, but firm and significant words. Secretary Olney declare* it to be the belief of the I’nited States that the territorial claims which Great Writnin bn* set up in Vene­ zuela are in the nature of an attempt to seize territory on the American continent to which she has no legal right. ago. nnd it was known that death was only a question of time. The veteran, however, showed remarkable vitality and made a strong fight against the grim an­ gel. ' The country will lung remember Gen.

We have made no estimate of coarse feed, as the manure made pounds of wool perbead; this at 18 cents per pound (the market price of this grade of wool October 1st) would amount to >37.90. Tbe ex­ adding together tbe several items of expense we find tbe total cost of keeping to be >75.03. >90.15; after deducting >75.98, the coat of keeping, from this amount, wo have left a baiaa profitable as 60 cent wheat or tbe S-year-old steer at 4 cents per pound. As our novice will want some Information In regard to caring for hl« flock, we will touch briefly on aome of the main pointe. First, do not keep your whole flock together, too If you do the strong, lusty ones will crowd tbe weaker ones away from tbe feedrack and graintrough thereby obtaining a double portion themselves end depriving tbe weaker of their doubly-need­ ed ration. Do not allow your ewes that are with young to be driven hurriedly through narrow doors or gateways; much of lhe trouble of delivery at lambing time may be prevented if such a course Is adhered to. Keep tbelr surroundings as quiet as possible: the sheep being a nervous, sensitive animal, if badly frightened will not resume its feeding for some time. Therefore do not use harsh treatment In handling or driving. The true secret of taming and controlling sheep is well expressed In the Iasi verse of that old rhyme, “Mary had a little Jamb,” which reads— What make* the lamb love Mary sol The eager children cry. Oh I Mary love* the lamb you know, The teacher did reply. Many farmers have tbe erroneous idea that sheep ought to thrive on tbe refuse of other stock, and tbe leeward side of the barn all the shelter they require, and will also tell vou that they do not require water, especially If there is snow ou the ground; let me say to such a man, Uy the same treatment yourself, do not partake of any liquid for a tew days but that obtaired by dissolving snow in tbe mouth, aud we will guarantee that you will see to It that your sheep have access to water, dally, thereafter. Some flock owners, since the new tariff act took effect, have become discouraged, claiming that under existing circumstances no profit would accrue from sheep raising. But It is our bumble opinion that if they would devote tbe time which they spend and theenergyfdtoplayed in discussing the political situation, to provid­ ing suitable shelter and caring more faithfully for their flocks, tbev might find that there is a little profit In tbe business yet. Tbe sheep Is a valuable assistant on tbe farm In the way of exterminating weeds.)bnisb, etc., aud will tn this way reduce tbe cost of bls keep­ ing very materially, This, with bls quiet and gentle disposition and tbe ease with which he 1s cared for, ought to be strong arguments tn his favor. As the sheep’s coat Is by no means Imperv­ ious to water tbelr should not be left out in the cold storms. If once tbelr fleece gets thorough­ ly saturated with water several days of discom­ fort must ensue, and a conaeouent loss of flesh and growth of wool result. Nor is It a sure sign of a good shepherd io see corners of fences and the roofs of sheds ornamented with the bleached bodies of young lambs, and It Is well to remember that every lamb lost will take at least >2.00 from that profit we are after. To be brief we would aav that care and atten­ tion to the needs of your flock are some of the roost essential requirements of success in sheep raisingAug now gentlemen, In conclusion let me say that while men may discourse eloquently of the noble animal, lhe horse, aud tel) you bow close­ ly his extxtence is interwoven with the needs of man, and will say that be is the most useful creation of an allwise Creator. Or per­ haps they will speak In happy strain of the toothsome steaks, the yellow cream and the delicious butter of tke cattie kind. But let me say there is no animal oti the face of God’s green earth which has contributed more to the needs of man than tbe sheep. From tbe time tte soft wool furnished the blanket in which our tender bodies were wrapped on our advent into the world, to the time when chilled by tbe enfeebled conditions of old age. we hare found comfort clothed In tbe warm garments ot wool, The sheep has contributed largely to our happi­ ness and well-being. In all ages. In nearly all countries, from the time when David tended bls flocks In the dlst ant fields of Judea, down through tbe dim cen­ turies ot time to A.

LANDING Or MARINES. Great Britain AI*o Reported to Have Information of the formidable uprising in Korea, resulting in the disappearance and probable death of the Queen, and tho landing of military forces by the United States aud European powers, has been received by Minister Kurino of Japan from the foreign office at Tokyo. It is quite sensational, indicating die landing of marinas by Russian, the United States aud probably Great Britain. The latest dispatch to Minister Kurino state* that a force of Russian marines, forty in.number, hoe been landed. Thus far they Lave confined themselve* to guarding tL* Russian legation at Seoul. United State* marine* were lauded from the Yorktown to the numia-r of sixteen. It la believed also that British marine* have been landed. Betiib s these tbe Japanea* have a considerable force of soldier* nt Seoul who Lave been preserv­ ing order. The dispatches come from Tokyo and communicate the substance of dispatches received from Gen. Muira. the Japanese envoy at Seuol. It appear* from these di«patche* that the trouble liad its in­ ception through tho Queeu’a dislike of tbe newly organirs*d soldiers of Korea. The old raldiera had the primitive equipment of the far East, but with the progress of Japan<*«« influence in Korea two bat­ talions of Korean troops were organized on modern method*. Each battalion numbervd 000 men, armed with modern weap­ on*. They were well drilled aud officered. When the Queen showed her disfavor toward three new troops they appealed to the Tni Won Kun, n powerful chief, who ha* long been at emuity with tbe Queen. He"accepted the leadership of the new trou|«, and at the head uf one battalion entered the Queen’s palace. The native soldiera fled from the palace.

He started ofit with the Idea of making the hour hand traverse the dial in the same time that the sun, on the average, traverses, or seems to traverse, the path around the earth. It will l>e seen that the dial represents the rising of tbe sun. its progress to the zenith at noontide, and to its final dis­ appearance below the horizon at.night­ fall. But the disk Instead of being dlrlded Into twelve spaces. Is divided into twenty-four, marked from 1 to 12. and’ *” ' this series occurs twice. The upper half of the dial represents day and the lower half night. The two are distinguished by the very natural i.expedfcnt of making one white and the other black. But In case then* might still be some chance for error, the words “day" and "night” are printed on the‘ disk In large type. On the outer rim there Is a scale for tho convenience of the minute hand. The*scale Is divided Into sixty parts, every fifth part being marked with Its appropriate figure. This again docs away with a source of ambiguity in the present s,vsteui. People are accustomed i to say "a quarter of" and "a quarter after," or “twenty-five minutes of." and so forth, all of which expressions have a greater or less tendency to cause mis­ takes. By the new dial there can be no mistake. Take, for instance,, the po­ sition of the hands as represented in the diagram. They mean a certain time, and no other. The small, or hour hand. Is between 5 and «, and as this hour hand represents the sun. we see that 8 is sinking towards the horizon. In oth­ er words it Is between 5 and 6 tfclock in the evening. The precise time Is known when we look at the long or minute band. This is pointing directly at 55. The time Is. therefore, fi hours and 55 minutes in the evening, or 5:55, as rail­ road men sny. According to the com­ mon method of telling time ynu would say that tho diagram shows 5 minutes of 6 o’clock p. m. Green Food fi»r Hen*.

About thirty members of Charlotte tent came down on the evening train and marched In double rank to the hall, where the members of Nashville tent and about twenty members of Morgan tent were waiting to receive them. A few moments were spent in getting acquainted, and then the real business of the evening was Inaugur­ ated. Nashville tent bad three can­ didates awaiting Initiation, and the room was put in charge of the Char­ lotte boys, who proceeded to make true and tried Maccabees out of those three novitiates in the most approved form.

All went off in highly satisfactory style, to lhe menfi^ers at least, if nut to the seekers after know­ ledge, and all are now enrolled as members uf Nashville tent In good standing. After the initiatory ceremonies, a luncheon was spread In lhe reception room and bot coffee, doughnuts, sand­ wiches. etc., disappeared In truly amazing style. By this time the 1.10 train, on which the Charlotte beys bad expected to re­ turn home, had gone, and .while a few of the boys excused themselves and caught the train, by far the larger portion found themselves compelled to remain in town until the morning train, so to pass the time away a lodge Of the Princes of the Orient was hast­ ily formed, a working team organized, and seven new potentates of the oriental realm trod the hot sands in an effort to bring themselves from darkness into light, and are now quali­ fied to foil >w the proper study of man­ kind.

Tiie “pipe" bread of Italy is baked in loaves two and three feet loug, while tn France the loaves are made In the shape of very long rolls four or five feet in length, and in many cases oven six feet. The bread of Paris is distrib­ uted almost exclusively by women, who go to the various bake houses at 5:30 a. m. and spend about an hour polishing up the loaves. After the loaves are thoroughly cleansed of dust and grit the “bread porter" proceeds on tbe round of her customers. Those wbo live iu aiwirtments or fiats find their loaves leaning against the door.

That ia, it looks like it would not be a great while before it is known whether the present interpretation by the American editor and Washington correspondent “goes.” From what can be learned it looks ns though John Bull is going right ahead with the settlement of the Venezuelan question iu hia own way without intending to trouble Uncle Kam for either advice or dictation. The trouble between the two Govern­ ments is that they don't Interpret that doctrine the wm? way—at least that Is how it looks from the alleged information at hand. The British claim that they favor the doctrine, but they don't define iUquite as broadly as it is alleged tbe Cabinet here does. There is where the trouble come* in. And if the statements of the press as to the position of the United State* nnd the doing* of Great Britain are correct one of three things must occur—England must back water, or the United State# must, or there will lu- war. That is the straight view of the rase as It is present­ ed.

Editor of Xiws: Italy and Italians made it necessary to change our tongue again and 1 will oot betray how lamely and ufifashlonably we did so- Tbe ridiculous make* shifts and tbe perfect gravity with which they are received, shows the Italians to be very courteous Indeed. We rather dreamed than rode tbe first few miles of Italy. It was like enter­ ing Eden from a polar icelleld. But we reached a town and Italy’s mask­ dropped. Dirty, wbiltf buildings, adorned with dirty frescoes ju*t under tbe eaves, dirty churches with an out­ rageous picture of a virgin or holy family orsalut, done In dirty colors and yellow streaked by the weather, Xh** campanile or bell-tower always separate from tbe church, always square and wbiteand dirty, and finally filthy children in rags, who run shriek­ ing after us, demanding a soldo. Iben as we were leaving tbe town, crowds of maddened imps, minions of Satan, I am sure, pursue us and rain stones upon us white they curse and grimace hideously. After that town the valley was lined by houses made of stone. If you know bow tbestune fences around a typical New York farm appear-heaped up stone and no mortar—you can imagine these bouses. They are not wlndowJess but glassless, and the interior, wherever visible, 4s a mass of dirt. Crowds of workmen pass by singing furiously. Tbe laboring women, how­ ever, are devoid of this lightsome spir­ it. A typical costume does not exist iu this regrou. They wear anyluing which will partlaily cover nakedness. Bags are fastened in parallel strips running horizontally, perpendicularly and bias. Rags, dirt and a polkadot handkerchief is the national costume. Strips of cloth bang like stalactites from some of these wretches. While I was making these observa"tious, my tire burst iu an alarming manner. It looked lor a moment, as if all were over, but by dlntof sacrific­ ing ou r shuest rIngs and lacing the hood tightly, we made the wheel rideable, and decided to make one more desper­ ate effort at Milan to get a new tire. On we went through ^ueer hiils and more bedizened and painted towns un­ til we reached Lake Maggiore. This is another magic lake set In an en­ chanted landscape. On its bank:, grow tig trees, pomegranates, olives and lhe myrtle—yes, even the fabled cypress. Its islands are creations of a wizard’s wand; Isoia Bella, with Its tarraces luxuriant with magnolias, lemon trees, cedars, laurels and olean­ ders of fabulous size. Isola Madre and (translate! unpoetically) tbe isle of lhe Ushers. Only fancy such a ride as ours along that like shore for 15 miles. The click, click of the sculptor’s chisel whose shops oorder tbe lake for miles, then the beautiful chateaus and villas bullion tbe hillside which slopes steep­ ly from tbe water’s edge. While we were riding a long stretch between two towns, a storm arose at the end of the lake. The sun was setting and out of the densely black clouds the -lightning burst in fan shapes sending fierce bolts Id all directions from a single point. We were lighted upon our road by this pyrotechnic display and justas the storm burst we reached a hotel and were put to bed in a won­ derfully artistic room, such as we have since learned to expectin Italian bouses. The rain beating into the in­ ner court of tbe house made us ner t ous for fear the floor would get wet, but no one else cared so we finally slum­ bered and awoke only once to hear the waves beating on the beautiful shore of the lake, and again In time to see the most glorious of sunrises. Ou we rode through historic towns where we were directed and misdirected on our road to Milan, until we stopped and drew up a solemn compact that we would belieye me man in five and .flip a coin to sec which one of the five that one should be. We have grown more charitable since and believe (Vis Ignor­ ance. Italians are so desperately Ig­ norant. Time after time we looked back affectlonally at tbe Alps where tbe great Mt.

How many chapels we passed all paint­ ed inordinately with fulljcngth saints, immaculate conceptions add scenes from tbe life,of Christ. Milan at last and tbe great arch which terminates the famous Simplon road. Soon after passing it a wheelman approached us. He was courteous in manner and elegantly dressed. Quite unobtrusively he learned our purpose, conducted us to a large wheel estab­ lishment where we learned that no lire could possibly be secured for my peculiar wheel, aud then guided us to all tbe attractions: The famous Leon­ ardo da Vici’s, ‘’Last Supper,” Brera art gallery, the great arcade, the cath­ edral (which I assure you I am in love with and want one just like It, but can’t, pause to describe), the Corso and many minor attractions. A more ideal gentleman I have never met than our self-appointed Milanese guide. He evidently entertained us,travel-stained and unpreposesslng as we were, merely because of the kindness in hls heart. He escorted us to the city walls, shook hands, touched hls hat, wished us a eea&ant journey and left us. In a w minutes another tire-buret delayed us until too late to ride, (and we stopped at anal bergo or inn just oat side the city. At a council of war held that night, we decided to con­ tinue our prescribed route as far as Rome if we bad to ride on the bare Next day we started -out with a ven­ geance and in two days, upon tbe finest roads we bad yet seen, we rode to Venice, a distance of 2GC£ miles.

However, the stern of tho vessel bumped against the «-nd*of the pontoon, and with a crash the iron »qmti parted and a hundred or more frantic people were dumped into tho wafar among the piling and drifting tim­ bers. Women screamed, men shouted, and above the groans of the injured and .frightened and the cries of little ones could be-heard tho oaths of many. Tbe men on the pontoon and those in the ferry house did not wait a moment before they began to look toward assisting those jn the water.

He did not hit anybody and was finally captured by the police after a large quantity of sulphur had been put in the furnace in the cellar, the fumes filling the house and overcoming Merwin, who was found unconscious on a bed, with his revolver and rifle beside himx Throe doctors worked on him an hour before he was brought back to conscious­ ness. Merwin is insane aud imagined ' that hls friends and neighbors were burg• tars who had robbed his residence. He ’ appeared on a balcony clad only In his night clothes. Calling A, O. Packard, he fired a shot which whizzed within four 1 inches of Mr. Packard's head. Merwin called out others of hia neighbors, among . them Judge Payne, who saved himself by beating n hasty retreat when the insane man's intentions become apparent. After • his capture Merwin was taken to the de­ ! tention hospital. Htf is a well-known , business man and his insanity is the ro। suit of having been kicked on the head by n horse in Tennessee three years ago.

One Killed, Two Fatally Hurt, nnd Mnny Brnissd. In a rear-end collision at Hyde Park, eight miles from Boston, on the Provi­ dence division of the Consolidated Road, Thursday night, a brakeman was killed, two passengers fatally injured nnd nine­ teen others seriously hurt. The New’ London express, on time, running at a spe**d of fifty miles adlbour on a down grade, came in collision with the rear end of the Dedham local passenger train, telescoping a combination and a passen­ ger car in which were about 100 persons. The rear brakeman was so badly crushed that he died in an hour, and two passen­ gers, one a woman, were dug out from the burning debris and removed to the Massachusetts General Hospital in a dy­ ing condition. Among the passengers who were within four feet ot death nnd wbo escaped from th*? wreck through car windows were J. Montgomery Bear.**, the wealthiest man in New England, whose holdings aggregate $70,000,000, nnd Con­ gressman Elijah A. Morse, of Canton.

Wednesday morning at Detroit oc­ curred one of the most frightful catas­ trophes which has happened in Michi­ gan in many years. The boilers in the basement of the Journal building blew up, wrecking the five story building, and bnrying all of the occupants in the debris. The work of rescue was commenced at once, but fire broke out in the ruins and most of those not killed In the falling of the building were burned to death in the ruins.

In one case this required a plat'form about nine inches in depth, nnd. to save the trouble and expense of pro­ curing a carpenter to build It, the housewife secured an empty packing box of the requisite size from the gro­ cer at a cost of only 10 cents.

Although It Is not true that the Pope Is dying. It is learned that his strength has rapidly declined during tbe last llew months. His entourage Is of-the opinion that he will not survive the winter, and It Is added that all bis vi­ tality seems to be centered in his brain. In speaking of tbe pontiff’s falling health, it Is welt to give a brief review of his dally life. Tbe Pope usually rises a having hls faithful body servant, Centra. At 'night Leo XIII. locks tbe door of hl* bedroom with a key which never passes out of his hands, a second door being locked by Centra when his holiness Is In bed. The Pope is thus practically a prisoner at night, but Centra Is gen­ erally within calk This servant Is a person of the greatest Influence at tbe Vatican; the pontiff relies upon him implicitly, and his trust Is well placed. As soon as tiuj Pope is dressed by his valet in bis white woolen cassock and wadded silk gown, he recites the prayers In his bedroom, passing dl- especially those of hb library, hung round his waist, like a gnoirr. At mid­ day the audlcmw? Is given o crowned heads or distinguished men. If the visitor is a sovereign the pope receives him In the throneA-oom. surrounded.by bls cardinals, who retire as soon as the potentate has been introduced. Lunch of the simpiett fare follows, tbe menu consisting chiefly of eggs. Tills ended, tiio pope takes the air in the gardens of the Vatican in a car­ riage, being carried to the garden In a chair through the galleries of the li­ brary. Escorted by two gendarme*" and preceded by an officer,’ thQ,carriage proceeds at a slow trot through the long walks bordered with oaks, six chair-bearers following on foot, as best they can, until a cascade overlooking St. Angelo Is reached. Here the pope alights, nnd leaning on the arm of a chamberlain, or supiHirting- himself by himself at the foot of the Cltta LeonIna tower, tbe new battlements upon which have recently been added by the architect Vreplgnarja by the pope’s or­ ders. Tills vine Li said to lie dearer to the pope than all the wonders of the Vatican. Ho gathers its fruit with his own hands, and last year it yielded a fair quality of wine. Next to the vine the cultivation of roses Is the pope's greatest pleasure. Hla holiness frequently spends tbe better pan of bls day In the tower, re­ serving the' upper story for hinnclf. No one Is allowed to enter It save him­ self. and should cardinals orjirlnces de­ sire urgent audience, they are received in a lower room bung with red silk. Loo, despite bis advanced age, takes little rest, nnd works as industriously In the cool upper chamber of the LeonIna tower during tho hot hours of tho Roman afternoon as he does in his study during tho morning. From bls windows he can see the city, lying be­ yond the walks and alleys of tbe Vati­ can gardens, in tho slumberous beat, tier upon tier, with tho San Angelo fronting the Tiber, a relic of the tem­ poral power once wielded by the pon­ tiffs. * With sunset tbe pope's airing Is over. As day slowly fades from the sky the chair-bearers in tbelr red liveries ap­ pear at the door of the tower nnd carry him back to bis carriage, and thence through tbe Raphael chambers aud the .galleries of die library to bis private apartments, away from his vine and THE POPE’S BEDROOM.

Mass Is then celebrated, to which no strangers are admitted his rosijs, from the sunlight and fresh nir. to the gloominess and seclusion of the palace. Having recited the rosary in company with one of bls domestic prelates, the tireless pope sits down at his writing table aud works until Cen­ tra attends him to bed. nnd the long day is done. Such Is the major portion of the pontifTs life. COINED TO A CORPSE. tnriu'a Mothcr-in-J^i w.

In connection with tbe post of poet laureate. It Is because be Is so many-sided a man that be is known neither by bls countrymen nor by Americans. If he were only a mere poet it would be easy to write of him— to make an estimate aud properly classjfy him—but he is a larger figure In life than lie Is In literature, and he there­ fore belongs to the future rather than to the present In the way of criticism. He Is m>okcu of Indiscriminately as a socialist, ns a designer of furniture and wall paper, and as a poet.

Lillian Russell open­ ed tbe theater a few nights ago, and all the diplomatic and official life of Wash­ ington was present.

Thp mother of the prince consort was a lovely woman—It was from her that he inherited bls go*xl looks—and was the last descendant of tbe dukes of Gotha, whose dominions may be'said to have constituted her utqrrlnge portion, since they were incorporated with those of Saxe-Coburg .it the time of her union to thp duke of that petty sovereignty. A dcunkard and a profligate of the most coarse character, the duke treated hl* young and beautiful wife with dis­ graceful brutality; so much so. Indeed, that the imperial diet felt constrained to.interfere In her behalf, while the good people of Coburg showed their sympathy with tbelr blonde and blue­ eyed duchess by smashing every win­ dow of tbe husband's palace and by almost lynching his Polish favorite, Count Scbimbowskl. At length the duchess could no longer bear her treatment and eloped from Coburg with a young cavalry lieuten­ ant of the name of Baron von Hanstcln. The* duke at once sued for a divorce, which was granted, aud tbe yquug mother was never permitted to see her children again until just before the Prince consort’s marriage, they being brought up altogether by their grand­ mother. Soon after recovering her lib­ erty, the duchess married the compan­ ion of her flight, and spent tbe remain­ der of her days partly lu Switzerland and partly In Paris, where she died. She bequeathed to her busband,.for whom she had previously obtained the title of Count of Poolzig, a considerable yearly Income from the revenues of the duchy of Gotha on throne condition that he would never part with her corpse, not even for a single night, and stipulated that if he spent twenty-four hours under any roof than that where her embalmed remains happened to bo. the pension should cease at once. So the unfortunate connt carried the mum­ my of Quqen Victoria's mother-in-law around with him for years, long even after bls marriage to another lady, un­ til one morning at Paris ho was horri­ fied by tho discovery that the casket had disappeared. After much Investigation he found that it had been stolen by emissaries from the court of Saxe-Co­ burg-Gotha, with a view of having It decently laid to rest, and ns the pen­ sion was continued he had uo reason whatsoever to regret the theft. Origin of the Bell. Thcoringlnoffhe religious significance of the bell Is not far to seek. Primeval man discovered that noise would fright­ en off troublesome or dangerous animals. There are plenty of stories of bow bears, for example, were put to Hight by unearthly yells. I have often seen cattle stampeded in that way In the XYest. When the noise is unusual few animals can resist Its terrifying power, especially If they are taken unawares. Primeval man, governed by his imag­ ination, thus came to regard certain noises as having a supernatural char­ acter, and so Introduced them Into his worship. As be advanced Id knowl­ edge he Improved his inrttns of maklug them until he developed the bell. Ho discovered also that noise Is a source of enthusiasm, and for that reason be employed it In his worship. Many a time at a revival or camp meeting I have heard the preacher exhort those at the mourners’ bench and around It to pray louder and sing louder, himself giving the example, all for the sake of enthusiasm. The bell In worship. Pa­ gan as well as Jewish aud Christian. Is traceable to tbe effect which noise has on the mind of man nnd animal. If tbe animal has any mind.—Pitts­ burg Times. The ostrich Is first picked when about seven months old, and every seven months after that. The valuable feathes are found on tbe wlugs and tall. The third plucking Is usually very good, and one hundred dollars is usually realized from each bird at a plucking. If the feather Is not "ripe" when plucking tliuo comes it is cut off with shears. A ripe quill stem drops out of its own ac­ cord. When the proper time has come to pluck an ostrich, he Is cajoled by means of an orange or other tidbit until he Is beaded for a small, box-like In­ closure, Just large enough to bold him; a man slips In b«d>ind him. and. with a sudden rush, shoves him Into the pen and clasps the door shut. Here the bird bos no room to kick, and is at the mercy of the shearers. Ostriches cannot get over or under a railing four feet high.

Ferrara’s glory has departed. The streets are grass-grown and palaces are forlorn or occupied by merchants. The old castle with the dungeon, where Tasso was imprisoned, stands within Ils moat, giand and lonely, In the midst of the busiest street. It was a relief to look upon the simple house where Ariosto lived so content­ edly. All -this we left behind and We reached Bologna alter a ride through a region where the rice-reeds stood eight and ten feet high and where there were threshing-floors made of polished red bricks, aod grand canals the surface of whose waters was high above thejplain. We amused ourselves for a time rid­ ing through the narrow streets and lofty arcades, peering now and then Into old palaces and cathedrals and hunting for the sausages after which I suppose tbe city was named. When we were wheeling out of the city an officer confronted and stopped us, say­ ing that we had no brake. We con­ ceded that fact and remarked that we did not care to buy. The officer however insisted, led us, followed by acuriouj crowd, back to the police station and after a few preliminaries the magistrate informed us that we were fined five lira. Our American ire was aroused and we refused to pay, saying we had plenty of time and would stay there and board it out. The officer began to sweat and the magistrate looked much concerned. The Italian government Is too poor -to keep anyone over night. Then we threatened to see the American Con­ sul on the following day. We left our wheels as hostage and finished seeing the sights. At nine o’clock-in the evening they were getting desperate so sent for the Chief of the Depart­ ment, wbo, when he beard our story told us to go on our way.

FLOURISHING REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA. —Unlimited Agricultural Resource*. •OR the last fifteen ^yeara reader* of the press have heard now and then hf the progress made by Gnxtt Britain fa ex- I'Mefinito boundary line of IjRBQRfifiSMfT British Guiana over a considerable portion Venezuela. It was vaguely, un‘ 1 ' tiersti>pd that the Monroe doctrine was being disregarded; that a weak little nation was being de­ spoiled. and <hnt the United States was using up reams of paper in diplomatic cor­ respondence on the question. . Yet so well did John Bull prosper in the acquisition of land on American soillhat in 1887 the British official publications announced that British Guiana contained 100,000 ' square mil ex. Just the year before the official record, and the authorized records of all civilized countries, gave the area 70,000 miles. Where did the Hou th American colony of England get its increase? No new survey had been made; no territory had been gained by cession or accretion from the sea, or by' a new adjustment of Iwundary lines. England bad got 113.000 square miles of land, an area as large as the State of In­ diana. and Venezuela had been robbed of that much. The astonishing part of the whole af­ fair was -that no one entered a protest loud enough* to be heard. The world accepted the usurpation, new maps were made of ihr territory. By 18P0. in spite of the diplomatic correspondence, the re­ port of the International Conference con­ tains two maps of South America. both of which agree tbht there is no dispute about boundaries between Venezuela and British Guiana, and that the latter con­ tains all the an-n latest claimed for it in 1887. The new boundary is accepted by the United States, a boundary made by England and protested against Ity Vene­ zuela. The scale upon which England's ' continued encroachments have been pros- I ecuted is shown by the map. Cuyani line is as far to the westward of the Schom- | burgh lino as that is from the Esequil>*> i Hirer—the legitimate boundary (aecord; [ ing to Venezuela) nf British Guiana. This is»rupi<l progression. Within six years Great Britain has acquired a territory nearly as large ns the State of Illinois, without war or cession or purchase. The process-is instructive. The boundary dispute recently called up has had the effect of greatly interest­ ing the people of the United States in the residents of n country, which, although separated from us by thousands of miles of sea and land, is yet brought near by the ties created by a similar form of govern­ ment. Although a small and weak power, j Venezuela is a large country, having a Cbine««^La»udry Ticket*. The Chinese washermen have a sys­ tem of ticketing a bundle of tolled clothes based on the many gods and goddesses of the laundry. Though. It la complicated, the laundryman seldom delivers a bundle of washed clothes to the wrong person. Furthermore, If the ticket Is lost, the chance* are that you will hot get your linen; unless you are a particular friend of the proprietor. Instance# arc on rec­ ord where an American.has gone to court to. force' the- Cl»lJ)Me;tir’yleld up the washing, but the judge was not convinced that the case of -the white man was a good oqe. • The Chinese liuixlrynito M the be­ ginning of each week makes out a batch of checks, in duplicate, to be used us wash tickets. He selects the name of some god or goddess, or of sonic ob­ ject,' as the son, the moon, or the stars. To tltLs name he prefixes;a number, as "Moon, No. i," “Moon, No. 2,” and so on. In the apace between the two legends— for the signs are repeated twice—be has his own name, as, for Instance, "Wah Loe." When a customer takes a bundle of washing to the laundry, tbq Chinese, first tearing a ticket In two In a ragged fashion, puts one-half on the packet for reference;'the other half he gives as a receipt to the person who has brought the package o£ lanodrj-. It must bo presented when the laun­ dry is demanded, and uo fears need bo entertained that the package of clean clothes will not bo forthcoming, for they are scrupulously exact In theso matters. ’• ■jBKSKwi* /0El>—"X- « RATAfg |\ c.ft\L YtxyfXJ Blesning in Disguise. In a remote country district a lady, locally described as “one of the board­ ers,” chanced to call at a most unpre^ tentlous farmhouse. On the parlor wall, banging In the most conspicuous place, she saw the announcement: : Icl on parte ^ancals. the winter. Frcta the diversity of climate It might be supposed that Venezuela is cajiabk* of growing any sort of agricul­ tural product that is known anywhere rise in the world, but this is not the case, for the elevated plateaus of Venezuela, unlike those of Mexico, are by no moans fertile, nnd large portions, comprising thousands of square miles, nrc quite until for cultivation, even of the primitive kind most popular among the Venezuelan In­ dians. But there is plenty of room for the farmer in the less elevated regions of the republic, for it is estimated that throughout all Venezuela only one acre in 300 is cultivated, so the two and a quar­ ter millions of population have ample room to spread and it is not likely that for a good many years to come Venezuela will be over-crowded. It is the best watered country on the globe. Within its limits there nre over 1.000 rivers of navigable size, besides in numerable crocks and smaller streams, nnd nearly all this vast number have their rise within the boundaries of the republic, springing from the mountain ranges that divide, in almost every direction, the ter­ ritory of Venezuela from that of her neighbors. With so great a number of rivers, Venezuela ought to be one of the best known and best explored countries on the globe, but it is not, from the fact that the luxuriance of nature Is such that the rivers flow through almost unbroken nnd impenetrable forests. Everywhere trees in closest array, the branches intertaeingXnd forming an archway over the stream: everywhere a network of creep­ ers and vines, through which it is impossi­ ble. for the traveler to make his way. Yet’ these /forests themselves, which now stand as a barrier in the path of civiliza­ tion, are destined, in the future, to form one of the principal sources of the na­ tional wealth. At the National Exposi­ tion of Venezuela, held at the capital in 1883, there were exhibited 2,070 different varieties of wood, composing GOO distinct species and embracing every kind of wood used In the arts and architecture. There were several kinds of rosewood, mahog­ any, cedar and other ornamental woods, with oak, piuc and others which arc found in equal or greater abundance elsewhere. But not for their wood only are the for­ ests of Venezuela valuable, for the forest products may become an almost equal source of revenue. Thousands of square miles are covered with the trees that pro­ duce rubber, thousands more with cin­ chona forests that have never been touched with the ax. while plants useful in medical art and practice are numbered by the hundred. If Venezuela had noth­ ing but forests the State would be wealthy: but there is reason to believe that the mineffil products are equally rich. Gold has been found fa every portion of the republic, from the desert steppes of the highlands to the marshes of Mara­ caibo. As is very well known, the rich­ ness of the gold mines in the territory near the British line has induced the En­ glish to claim land to which they have not a shadow of title; and no donbt la felt that when the mines of Venezuela are copper la found in quantities so large and in situations where the metal is so easily worked, that the copper of Venezuela la already competing in Europe with that from other countries. Iron ore is found in inexhaustible quantities; lead and tin exist in great abundance. Asphaltum enough to pave the streets of nil the cities in the world is found in the marsh­ es and islands of the coast, and petroleum and coal enough to light them is near at hand. Extensive deposits of salt and soda exist in various places along the cities from either a social. political or commercial point of view. The former, only seven miies in a direct line from tlw latter and the sea. is over twenty miles distant by the stage route, for a range of rugged mountains intervenes between the capital nnd the sea. and only recently haw a railroad been constructed that en­ ables a shorter line to bo taken. The city is beautifully laid out in the renter of a beautiful valley, and has nil the appoint­ ments of n moders city.

The man who was about to hear the warrant for his death, who had meted out death to others without mercy and. who had gone through trying ordeals' almost without a quiver of the lips or a twinge of the conscience, stood erect in the dock, unmoved, apparently unheeding. On his face sat the pallor of death, but It had been there for days, and did not deepen as he gave one swift glance nt tire rowi of unsympathizing eyes at his back, turned his gaze at the jury in a blank stare, and clasped his hands behind nltn.

The people in this vicinity are very sociable and obliging and seem to think it Impossible for a stranger to get lost among the trees and rocks, which the mountain Is abundantly supplied with. Should you ask the distance to any particular point on the mountain they will invariably say. “right smart distance.

The people of Cleveland, Ohio, stool appalled' Sunday when they realized the full horror of a terrible accident whJcn occurred Saturday evening on the big central viaduct. It was the worst acci­ dent that had ever hnjipened in that city, and the story of how the motor car, load­ ed with men, women and children. bad plunged through the open draw, straight down 100 feet into the river, was told over and over ugain. Fifteen bodies in nU were recovered and identified. Thou­ sands of people remained by the river bank all night, und thousands more were there early in tho morning. August Rog­ ers, the motornian, who has been held as a witness, was charged with manslaugh­ ter. This action was taken by Chief of Police Hoehn after he had investigated the accident. After tbe charge had been placed against him nobody was permitted to see Rogers. The diver succeeded in fastening a chain to the trucks of the motor and'they were raised from the river. The bed of the stream was then dragged, but do more bodies were found. Four iwrsons are still missing, however, and it is probable that their bodies have floated down the river.

Tipping the Jury. One of the curious customs that hare smrvired in Washington is the custom <»f “tipping" the jury iu all civil cases tried before the Qppttr courts. The “tip" is nearly always $2 and to over and above the juror's regular salary of $2 a daj. In every rfvil vase tried in this city, if the plaintiff wins, his attorney promptly hands the foreman of the jury $2. If the defendant wins the attorney of his aide «fielto out the money. Nobody knows how rfafr custom started*©r where it originate!, but it has been a usage for so many years that it is practically • law. In ■criminal and United States cases the “tip" is never given, but In nil suits in which the District ot Columbia is interest­ ed the extra compensation is given when­ ever th* district aide comes out on top. As jvrors in ali aril auwe in tbe district are compelled to serve one month, these *2 “tip*" amount to quite a snug little «nm at the expiration of their thlrty-day term of service. In one court where ap­ pealed case* from justice* of the peace arc heard as many as four cases a day are tried and in tach of them the foreman. of the jury is < ntith-J to the extra F~ Tho money In always handed to the fore­ man of the jury, who turns it over to the jury treasurer to keep until the dis­ charge of the jury from further service.

I^and and tools were !enf to destitute able-bodied persons, and they were given seeds, to see if they could raise enough of u crop to keep them thrrfugh the winter. The supurintendent ha» received reports from twelve of such experimental letting*, and only two of the number wore failures. It La protahte that the plan will be pul into ’far more general operation next summer, ns it appears to be u distinct success. In the meanwhile « project to on foot to establish n num to-r of credit stores to sell the nccetumrie* of life. This will only benefit the destitute residents of the district, nnd will be run upon the honor plan. The person who draws suitplies from the stores during the winter will be expected to pay for them in sum­ mer, and the credit given will be with the understanding that those who do not pay when they get work will receive no further public aid.

FRIDAY, • NOVEMBER 22. 18%. THEIR TRAVELS ENDEDOur Whweimen View th® Eternal City Aboard for home, Oct. 10, *95. Editor or News: The eternal city was 50 miles away when I closed my last letter. I did not tell, did I, how we went swimming in the Mediterranean? Wc did at t;»n o’cluck one moonlight night when we rode so near the sea that thesirensout on their rest, and the mermaldson lhe imaginary dolphin's back, and lhe murmuring, lapping waves on the hungry l»cacb, all allured us and we left our wheels and crawled down the black rocks to tbe bed of dry seaweed which the tide had left and the sun had dried. But “sharks!" yBu exclaim. Oh, yes, but we had forgotten about -them and lhey weren’t at home. It was a glorious swim. We reached Clvlta Vecchla that night and after getting into lheslums of the city and being fairly mobbed by the roughest dement In Italy we found a respectable lodging, and slept. Eariy iu the morning we started ou iu make Rome that morning. The fa­ mous old Aurelian Way was our road, and at 11 rat in the dawning hour with the sea by ourslde. und the black rocks with sllniy seaweed, now a charming villa and again an old ruin, wc t bought our w.oes were over, hut soon we left the sea. rocks nnd villas and entered upon the barren Roman compagna. The dust was terrible, the heat “terrlblissimi” uniutenulllen. The land near Rome waves Into huge billows and they break at last in the seven historic hills. Hill after hill we tolled un, coasted for a brief moment and then struggled up again. Sisyphus and the stone be rolled up bill, which alwavs rolled down again, isn’l a par­ allel to the actual fact of pushing a bicycle up the bills In the infernal plains about Rome. Sweat rolled from us until our veins seemed as dry as the dust about us. There was no water tube had. No houses, no towns, no ruins (even they have vanished from that forlorn region), no people; all we could see on the horizon was St. Peter’s dome and that seemed a mir­ age, so long we were in reaching It. The man w ho wrote poetry about this campagoa deserves tbe lowest round In Dante's purgatory. We wished more than once that the geese had not saved Rome. We had for,the first time implicit faith In the Romulus and Re­ mus and the wolf story. Nothing but a she wolf would abide in such deso­ lateness and she would take care of the boys just for sociability. These are the thoughts we indulged In before seeing the city, hut tbe last bill was climbed and tbe Niobe of nations was before us. We shouted for joy and thrilled for triumph. We felt as great, as proud and as exalted as ever Ca;sar returning from his victories. The marble wilderness was ours, belonged to our eyes at least. Battle, flood, time and tire have worked upon the city’s wonders; so, too, tbe vandal and the Christian, but where they have obliterated a work of art they have left history, romance and legend until memory aud imagi­ nation are overwhelmed by the de­ mands upon them. But I should be writing In blank verse if I continued this strain long. You know what we saw In Rome. One without Imagina­ tion would see little more than a quarry In tbe Forum, three huge old water tanks In the Pantheon and Co­ lestum andJ-Mausoleum of Hadrian, and an old church with about half a mile of useless columns in a circle around the front doorvard, would ade­ quately describe Peters for him. Well, we bad imagination and we grew poetic, bombastic and eloquent at the proper times. We got ambitious and ascended St. Peters’ dome, and yuu arn’t far from thCowner’s Golden Gate when you are at the top. The guide­ book makes you chase around after a lot of fountains, and old remains of walls. Then we did the Sistine chap­ el, a room like a huge coffin box and fully as dark and gruesome, but with some of the world’s rarest art gems painted upon tbe walls, Likewise the Vatican and its sculpture and paint­ ing. of Prometheus is a parable, ' us was on terms of s.

Now when we were driven out of Paradise wc went to Naplee, and that is the devil's own city. After gelling our bikes on board tbe “Werra." the boat on which we were to re­ turn to America, we spent a day In Naples. We had made a duty-denudt. od on onr wheels when vre entered Italy and were to get it back when we should leave. Such a time as we had getting that money. Every custom house of­ ficer told us to go somebody else, and al last 1 was ordered to get the signa­ ture of nn officer who was somewhere In the bay of Naples. There were only 5,000 boats and ships there. I got the services of an oarsman who knew the officer, and we surted upon our quest. He rowed around every Individual boat In Naples! bay, but we did not find the officer. Then I became desperate and told a head officer at the cuotom house that it was an outrage to dally so about a plain matter and I made some vague threats about lhe U. S. consul. Thereupon -he signed my paper, which he might have done three hours tiefore, and I received my money. Then we began sight-seeing. In Naples that consists ctflefly iu watehlng the peo­ ple. Boys as old as twelve roll in the dirt, naked, In the street. Older boys have a rag, which passes over the shoulder and holds up a pair of trous­ ers, which have m*lthei definite divis­ ion for lhe legs nor the completeness of a skirt.

If you turn a corner someone runs and grasps your shoulder and with frantic gesticula­ tions Inform''yon that that isn't the wav. “The way to what?" you ask. ‘•Why, to where you are going.” “But I am noi going anywhere.” you reply. •‘Well, that isn’t the way, anyhow. In Lheeariy morning on the follow­ ing day we saw milkmen going around with cans and goatsand milking them before the doors of customers. Gladly we escaped the dirt, vice and annoy­ ances of Naples and boarded the ten­ der which soon conveyed us to the “Werra.” From the deck, as th® boat left the bay, we took a lastluok-at Vesuvius smoking tranquilly in the distance. We passed the isle of Capri and soon, except the faint blue of the moun­ tainous coast, there was nothing but that marvelous scintillating blue of tbe Mediterranean all about us. Night came and passed and with the dawn we Vegan to see the faint line of that beautiful Riviera, the coast which flanks Genoa east and west. Soon wc were entering the bay amid a forest of masts and a wilderness of cranes, and through the web of cord­ age we could see Genoa with its white buildings and dirt. Il is built upon a mountain-side and from the sea looks like half of a great amphithea­ tre. There we laid three days, and with the ship as our stronghold, we, in company with two other American boys, made sallies up Into Genoa where we saw Columbus' monument and innumerable palaces, and made life a burden to hackmen, whom we never Intended to natronize, but with whom we haggled and bartered, then decided not tn indulge, to their dis­ gust. Then the hour of departure, and throngs of fai and greasy Genoese came to the wharf to see their friends in the steerage sail. We got out to sea al mid day and lhai evening— could you endure the description of just one more sunset? As tbe sun dis­ appeared the whole sea, from the hori­ zon tv the vessel’s side, had a robe of gold. Above this was a red stained cloud. Then almost magically lhe golden robe was withdrawn and soon was as enchantlngly spread. This in time seemed torn into strips, and be­ tween the lines of gold were lines of cerulean blue Finally the wind seemed to blow away the gilded film and that soft Mediterranean blue lay like a richly brocaded silk. In the sky there was a gold rayed fan, upon which colors* came and went as It vi­ brations of tbe pendulum of beauty. There, that wasn’t so bad; or did you skip It? ' We passed the Balearic Islands with their rocky, seamed and convoluted cliffs. The spore looks as crude as If just from the Creator's hand. Then the coast of Spain, a stern and rocky succession of headlands, presenting a dark, rude and forbidding shore, and behind were snow capped mountains. Africa, too, was sighted at last; a long low shore, rising lust opposite Gibralter to a mountain peak. Gibralter it­ self Is a stupendous rock, which we approached from the rear and then rounded to where we saw the long stone seawall and white and yellow houses above it, on above burned vegetations,and at tbe summit tbe broken ledge of tbe lofty ridge. The boat stopped Hye or six hours there and then set sail for America. We t>egan to make acouaintances and worried out the creeping hours studying them. There was the lady who wanted a “price list of tbe pas­ sengers” and whose sympathy went out to the steward in the following beautiful phrase: “I should think the waiters would get tired a bringin of grubs to the wamaris.” Then tbe baby faced innocent man who Isn’t helpless at all, but insists that be is. He had crossed a dozen times and yet couldn’t sleep nignts for fear the boat was go­ ing down. He wondered why the mo­ tion of the screw wasn't utilized for making ice cream or butter. “AI! it does now is to make this boat go,” be added, naively. A great cause of tbe sea was tbe water in it; so he wisely concluded. This fellow was always “surprised" and “dead with fright” at eyery new event on board. He called all the men-walters "Marys” and some “queer Marys." He^had llyed every­ where four years and wheh we passed among the Azores he described bis dwelling In each village that we sight­ ed on the Island shores. Then there was tbe ship’s band, which tortured us from early morning to dewey eye. They didn’t mind whether they were in time, as long as they made noise enough. I must tell how there were four women and two parrots In one state room and then set my friend and myself safely on land, thanking you for watching our travels with kindly interest, and close. C. H.

Knowing that most, if not all ot my readers, know nothing as to the methods employed, I will endeavor to describe them to you. We will first take up the fallen': When they start for the woods they take with them a saw, ax. sledge, sack of Wedges and a spring or chopping board, apiece. When they come io a tree they sight around It, and after de­ termining whether IL Is tit to cut they ascertain tbe direction it will fall. Then they begin to cut notches tn the tree, perhaps waist high; In these lhey put the ironed end of tbe chopping board, which is about eight inches wide by three or four feet long, and then mount the board. They now be­ gin to cut a huge notch hi the Inside of the tree toward the way they want It to fall. This done they proceed to saw it down. After driving in the wedges to keep It from binding and th.? tree cracks, they cry out “Here she comes! Look out there!" or some such phrase, and then jump off their boards. Then all In reach of the tree, which may be 250 or 300 feet high, run for tbelr Ilves and tbe tree, with a mighty swish and a crash, fails. Now the sawyers, with their sledges and wedges, saws aud oil bottles, go ami saw II into the required lengths of logs, which may be anywhere be­ tween 12 aud 60 feet. The oil Is used to put on the saw when they strike Ditch. Now comes Che barker's turo. He, wicb a bark-peeler or ax, proceeds to peel the bark off one side of the log, so it will slide easy over tbe skid nm<l«. When the log Is ready the team comes Into the woods and yards out the logs with block and tackle. When the line of logt is long enough, the teamster turns his big team of six or eight yoke of oxen, toward the landing and lhey start away toward It at a slow, steady gait, the greaser go­ ing along puttinggrease on the skids bet wee. > the team ami Lhe logs. Right here I want to describe tbe skid mad. A force of skidders are put to work and they cut out and grade a road ns smooth and nice as if for a railroad; then lhey cut down some small trees and cut them Into about four foot lengths, which is sup­ posed to be about the width of the road. Then they dig some trenches from four to six feet apart, and into each one they partially bury a skid. Each skid Is then hewed flat in lhe center, and it Is on this flat part that the greaser smears the grease. At the landing the logs are piled up to wait for lhe iraln to come and lake them away. The landing Is long and wide, and is built of heavy logs. It Is built above the railroad track, so that the logs may be easily rolled onto lhe cars. There Is usually a low one for tbe first logs, and a higher one along side for the topping of the cars. There is a man on the landing who does nothing elae but stamp the logs and load them on the trucks. After they go on the cars lhe camp is di ne with them. They arc then taken down and boomed In some part of Puget Sound till the mills are ready for them. In some parts the logs are put right Into the Sound from the woods. The men in a camp are classed as -follows: Fallers, sawyers, barkers, hook tenders, who help tbe teamsters In yard the logs: hand skidders, who place movable skids under tbe logs be­ tween the place where they lay and the skid road; skidders, greasers, teamsters, landing men and foreman. They are a wild, tree, profane, wicked lot of men. Gambling and drinking fill the greater part of their leisure hours. They are always dirty, always “broke" and always ragged; there are exceptions, of course, but they' are few. The cook has a bard time, for the western loggers must live “on the top shelf," and a yery little will make him “storm.” None of your bacon and beans men is be He must bate as good as the prescient. They are courteous to women when they encounter them, but they are very foul mouthed when alone. There are usually two or three “suckers.” men who tell the owner all thbt goes on, and tights are not an uncommon thing. Loggers, in good times, get from S30 to 4150 per month, according to the work they are doing. The fresh flr twigs smell delightful, the winds are Invigorating, and they may well say: Many an honest boy has gone to ruin from the logging camp. Eastern mothers, be careful about letting your boy go to Puget Sound, for evil awaits bIm there. Keep him at home on the farm if possible.

Cran­ berry sauce is of less ancient origin, for we find no mention of it much before the early part of this cen­ tury. Days set apart for thanksgiving were o. Indians and for plentiful harvests. Tbe frequent appointments for the last cause finally made autumn the customary time. To the eerly Puritan Christmas xriclt to heaven of idolatry; so, when bis own festival, Thanksgiving, became annual, it took on many of the features of the English Christmas. It was a day de­ voted to family reunion, to feasting aud to the giving of presents. Such “super­ stitious meats'* as boron of beef, boar's head, and plum pudding were excluded, and turkey, Indian pudding andapumpkiu pie were eaten instead. Many funny storks arc told of the early Thanksgiving days. The town of Colchester, for Instance, calmly ignored .the day appointed by the Governor am! hold its own Thanksgiving a week later, when the sloop from New York, bringing a hogshead of molasses for pies, had ar­ rived. In revolutionary times Thanks­ giving was not forgotten. The council of Massachusetts recommended thht Nov. 16, 1776, be set aside for "acknowledg­ ments for mercies enjoyed.” In the next year Samuel Adams recommended a form of Thanksgiving proclamation to tho Continental Congress. During the war of independence Congress appointed eight days of Thanksgiving. They fell In April, May, July and December.

There are few traveler* that have not.* a ELECTRIC "BAOOIOE SMAKHEB.’ at one time or another, been compelled to more aside so that a baggage-truck might pan*. A contrivance to do away with thia Inconvenience has been devised by the chief mechanical engineer of the Lanca­ shire and Yorkshire Railway, of Eng­ land, and is now in use at the Victoria Station, Manchester.

Heard Growth of a Lifetime. If yon are proud of u fresh shave and a Huiooth face you visit the b^rlx-r at least twice a week or probably every other day. Suppose you commeoced thl* practice at the age of seventeen and continued it up to the age of neveuty, have you any idea of the total length of the beard that would be removed In that time? If your I>eard grow* as rapidly a» that of the average man you must havd about one-fifth of an inch removed each week, or ten and two-fifth inches each year. Between the ages of seven and seventy years fifty-three year* must in­ tervene, nnd each of these fifty-three years gives almost a foot of beard growth, or a total of five hundred and thirty Inches, exclusive of fraction, or, to l>e more exactly exact, forty-four feet and two Inches of beard. The above is all figured on the as­ sumption that the filaments of the beard maintain their average growth of one-fifth of an Incl/during the jietiod mentioned, which, of course, la out of the question. \ There I* all the difference In the woild in beard growth. Some men will raise a “stubble field" one-fourth of an Inch in length, while another will hardly, raise enough to roughen his face. Then, again, we do not wish to be understood ns saying thaba man would grow fifty feet of t»eard In a lifetime, provided he never shaved. On the con­ trary, the average man would not grow more than two and n half feet. On reaching a length of eighteen to twenty Inches the beard Invariably be­ comes brittle or allts, and after this the growth Is very alow or cease* entirely.

The address by Mr. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, at the annual dinner of the Now York Chamber of ComuMve was a plea for the retirement of the legal tenders. Lie took the ground that no change made iu our currency system will afford relief unless it provides fur this retirement. as the circulation of the legal tenders has a tendency to drive out of u*r and out of the country the very gold In which the Government is compelled to rrdft m them. His exact language wm this: “Xo change that can be made In our currency system will afford the relief to which the ttowrument awl the people nre entitled unless it provides for the retire­ ment and cancellation of the legal tender United States note*. Anything less tbau this will be simply n pallin tire ami not a cure for the financial ills to which the country ia now subject."

The property de­ stroyed Is valued at between $75,000 and $100,000. The telegram from Terrell raid that the number killed waa 800 and this is confirmed from other sources. The scene of the massacre ia far inland ami beyond the rthch of a man-of-war, which would bo obliged to pass the Dardanelles and cuter tho Black Sea to approach even the neighboring coast. Il was nt this very point, Kharput, that the State Depart­ ment sought to establish a consulate, in which purpose it hns been defeated so far by the refusal of the Turkish Gov­ ernment to issue an exequatur to Mr. Hunter, sent there from the department ns the first consul. The iattot news is so appalling thnt in Government circles it Is a matter of wonder that the European powers can longer remain inactive. The news of the destruction of American mis­ sions hns started the friends of tho mis­ sionaries all over the country to telegraph­ ing the State Department.

Religious and social circles are much worked up over part 1 of the woman's bible, which has just been published. A correspondent says that an Inspection at advance sheets <»f thb work shows It to be little les$ than a handbook of infidel­ ity. It ridicules the biblical story of th* creation, denies that God ever talked «Hrertly with any man. strips the patriarchs of their halos, and denounces* Moses as a common “fakir.” Indeed, Moses could not have fared worse iq the book if CoL Ingersoll had written it. The style b not »<> flippant as he would have used, but it b none the less irreverent and blasphe­ mous. As an exaynple of the iconoclastic tendencies of the new woman, it is kodothlng awful to contemplate. Mrs. Eliza­ beth B. Grannis says the book will be a decided detriment to the cause of woman suffrage. Mrs. Anna H. Shaw says it b the brilliant effusion of prejudiced women. Dr. Joseph H. Rylance says the very title of the book b ridiculous and b a mere cloak for a bitter attack upon Chris­ tianity. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is the head and front of the woman’s bible enterprise.

When it first became apparent that a disturbance was imminent the American missionaries at Kbarput applied for pr>t oct ion to Mr. Terrell. The latter called personally at the Forte and sent several notes on the subject to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, insisting that the Tnrlj-r bh officials should protect the American missionaries and notifying the Sultan and Sum* Paid for Foreign Titles Within a Quarter-»f a Ccntnry.

Editor of Nkws: Those who have lived in Western Washington know that sometimes the wind blows there for seventy-two hours without stopping. Not a nice, gentle wind, but a wild, bowling wind that brings down a tree every ten minutes, that Ulis lhe air with flying boughs and twigs, that piles the roadjfull «»f trees anti threatens the houses of the forest dwellers. The writer while “roughing it’’ in the mountains east of Seattle, exper­ ienced several of these prolonged hur­ ricanes, and from the forceof circum­ stances grew to like these winds so well that the harder the wind blew the better 1 could sleep. One tiitter cold New Years night a tree fell Into the house of an old Ten­ nessean who lived near me, and just missed killing bls daughter, who was asleep on the floor of the rude cabin. This family w forced to walk nearly three miles in the middle of the night, through that cutting wind, to reach the bouse of a relative who was out of reach of the timber. One night, while at home, a storm came on suddenly. 1 was seated at the table endeavoring to solve* math­ ematical problem when it struck us. The wind and rain, thunder and light­ ning made such a noise -that we who were tn the room could scarcely bear each others voices. While sitting there there the fol­ lowing lines came to my mind and I penned them down. I now copy them here as they breathe of the freedom of the forestrdwellers from fear. FOREST SONO.

AiKUhrr English construction of tbe treaty lx tliat the boundary should be measured from the general coast line of the capes aud points of land of th« malnhtud. The claim of the United Statics is simply for a strip of land thir­ ty miles wide extending from the mn!n_ body of Alaska to Portland Channel. “ What England really wants Is a sea­ port nt the entrance of the Interior country. All her claims to the southern boundary are but a cloak to cover her red! design. Once established at Taku Inlet, or the head of Lynn Canal, Eng­ land will hold the key to the vast in­ terior gold country. These two Inlets are to tfie interior of Alaska what.Gib­ raltar Is to tho Mediterranean.

Who that has seen a cider pres* In operation has not admired the deep, rich, golden-red color that the juice of the apples assumes as It gather* in the receptacles? This characteristic hu« of cider Is almost qs pleasing to the eye a* the flavor of the fresh, sweet Juice 1* to the sense of taste. It reminds one of the colors of the autumn land­ scapes amid which the apples have ripened. But science say* that cider owes its beautiful color to tbe Tact that It oxides or rusts. A French chemist has recently shown that the apple contains an oxidizing ferment, a kind of dlastose, which pro­ duces the brownish or reddish color of cider. Tbe manner in which th'.* sub­ stance produce* oxidation can readily be observed by any one who cuts an apple open and leave* It cxjioscd for a short time to the air. The cut surface gradually turns red. as the oxygen of the air uultes with the Juice, or In a word, the apple rusts. This rusting of an apple may also l»e brought about by simply bruising the fruit without breaking the skin. Everybody knows that apples that have fallen violent!} to the ground show red or rusty spots underneath the bruised rind. In this case the oxygen Is derived from th* air contained In the ducts or interstice* among the tissues of tbe fruit, and It becomes active through the breaking of Hie cells that lucluse the oxidizing ferment. If an apple Is cooked before the skin Is broken Its tissues do not oxidize when exposed to the air. Thl* is explained on the supposition that the oxidizing properties of the ferment are destroyed by heat. But let the apple rust If It likes; the uncounted thou­ sands who look upon it as the king of fruits will never regard this favorite the less fondly for that. And who know* how much of it* dellclousness In the mouth may l»e due to the very ele­ ment that causes It to oxidize when left waiting In the air? ing deceived.

But with amberoid It Is a dif­ ferent matter, for, as this substance is made from the amber itself, there Is no perceptible difference In its appear­ ance or properties. Thia is made from email bits of amber ground fine and compressed by hydraulic power. The process is a secret possessed only by a few manufacturer* In Vienna. All the long stems of a clear, l>eautiful am­ ber, which give a meerscliaum or briar so fancy a price, are rondo of amberoid, excepting, i>erhnps, plpcrf of tbe highest value.

As compared with tbe fancy waist, th<;y give promise of many more forms anil elaborations, and when one considers how numerous those waists were, the range of the coat' bodice seems practically infinite. Variety comes in it not alone from cut, but from the materials that may be used. All sorts of fabrics are cut Into coats, but rich brocades matched to perfection are among the handsomest effects. If not the very latest. The very latest Is pmooth cloth, of a single color, the elab­ orate color effect of tbe coat being se­ cured by .the elegance of C.2 stomacher or vest, and by the facing of revers and lining of coat. With a garment of this description a skirt of brpeade Is worn, or at any rate, a sklrf that is all over wreaths, flowers and spangled design. The plan is to have a distinct change from the many colored bodice and the plain skirt. These descriptions show to what ex­ tremes these styles are coming, to judge by the present appearances. but tbe present indications tire less distinct. Thus coat effects are. more plentiful than coat bodices; even slightly trim­ med skirts are not so plentiful as plain ones of wonderfully accurate pleats; and while brocades are worn a good deal, they are still in much greater pro­ portion In the store windows than on tbe women who gaze at them therein.

Farm Water ttoppJy. Running streams and springs are tho best sources of wnteif supply, but they should be frequently examined to de­ tect otherwise unsuspected causes of pollution, those most frequently com­ ing from factories, slaughter-houses aud tbe sewage from hotels aud fnnn,houses. Especially, says the Ne’tv York Tribune, should one see to It that all form* of 'human excreta are kept from polluting drinking water. ■ Cisterns should be Airefully built an& covered, so that no foul air can reach the water, or small animals or Insects full into It. The overflow pipes from cis­ terns should have no conuection with any other pipes. Roof* aud gutter* should be frequently examined, aud no water allowed to enter the cistern dur­ ing storms until they are well cleaned. Cistern water should be frequently exaiqlned and kept free front color, odor and every other indication of impurity.' Rainwater is purest when coltaded from n slate roof. The cistern shoukl not be under the ttomu*. and should be cleaned at regular interval*. Granular Butter. Draw off the buttermilk, and with a dipper pour a poll of cold water over the butter, letting it run through it and out of the churn. This hardens tho granules of butter and prevents their massing together. Next, advises the Wisconsin Dairyman, cover the buttes with cold water, and move tbe churn back nud forth a few times, draw off tho water nnd repeat until the water runs from the churn clear. At this suge it is recommended and practiced by many to cover tbe butter,with a strong briuo (which can be kept for this purpose, nnd repeatedly used by occasional scalding to keep pure), which hardens the grains, and more perf<*ctiy liberates the buttermilk, giving the butter v brighter appearance.

Never let a plant get pot-bound, says Edgar Sanders in the Philadelphia Lodger, but keep on repotting, keeping the plant within bounds by using old stools for propagation when the plants are oversized. To do this, cut Into as many pieces as there are eyes, cut the foliage off and put into the potting ma­ terial; soon there will be a young plant to show for ft.

Michigan Cares for Her Depend­ ent and Neglected Children— Who Will Offer a Homo for a Boy or Glrlf The state Public School, for the care of tbe dependent, neglected and ■-treated children of Michigan, is an Institution of which the people of Michigan may well be proud. It has solved the financial problem of taking care ot these children, and as a protect­ lye measure against pauperism, vice and crime, its value to the public is immeasurable. Before its foundation there was no place for the children thrown upon the public charge, except tbe county bouses, where they were secessarlly under the debasing Influ­ ence of pauperism and vice. Aua time to their lives when impressions re­ ceived arc most lasting, they were thrown among those whose influence fe almost uniformly bad, and their young lives were thus blighted. Tbe establishment of the State Pub­ ic School marked an epoch In tbe child lite of Michigan. The State assumes tbe right to the guardlanshin •f those children who are dependent, ■eglected or iil-treated, and cares for them by furnishing them a temporary home at the school where, by means of Fleet physical comfort and healthI moral training, t-hey are led to for­ est tbelr old life and become prepared to take their places with their more fortunate fellows in tbe families and Ebllc schools throughout tbe state. fore admission to the school they Mye known little of comfort and hap­ piness. Their residence there, short though It usually is, gives them a new Idea of life and they have no desire to aeturn to the old manner of living. Tbe price of admission is dependence •r Ill-treatment, and tbe qualifications are that they shall be between one and twelye yeags of age and sotmd mental­ ly and physically. Since the opening of the Institution in 1874, nearly 3,700 children^havebeen received and cared for. There are now to the institution about20U, and over 1,350 are with good families throughcut the state and under the supervis­ ion of the school. The others haye passed out from under the school’s control. Those with families are placed on contracts which provide for ahelr proper care and education. Is it not probable that there are many in thia vicinity who would glad­ ly take one or more of these children into tbelr homes and make them tbelr S The best selections are boys from 4 to eight years of age,and it is believed that tbe homes would be blessed fully as much as the children by tak Ing the xblKren into them.

Toads and frogs have sometimes been taught to stay In a house to catch flies and insects. They will take a Cor­ ner of tho kitchen for their own and come out at regular times for their meals. In Chins otters arc taught to catch fish for their owners, being led to the water for the purpose attached to a long cord. In Bengal also an Indian species is trained to assist in fishing by driving the fish Into nets. FOREIGNERS OF HIGH DEGREE. The king of the Belgians is taking a pleasure trip in England. It is said that Lord Rosebery looks ten years younger, now that ho is out of office. The commander in chief cl the sul­ tan of Morocco’s army is a Scotsman, by name Raid McLain. The duke of York is said to have sold his collection of postage stamps to Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. It is insured for 8280,000.

Among tho Russian princely families perhaps that of Golitzin is the most numerous. There arc now living, !t is said, nearly sixteen hundred princes and princesses Golitrin. Prof. Svr.N Lovek, the Swedish zoologist, who died recently in Stock­ holm, had the luck to be selected as a member of the Institute of France over Darwin in 1873, and to be pre-, ferred to Huxley in 1899 for the Prus­ sian order "Pour le merite."

It certainly seems as though with good work on the part of the officers It would be almost Impossible for the desperadoes to escape, but they may be slick enough to evade the officers and get away with their booty. Mr. Jackson Is a mao about eighty years of age and has lived utterly alone upon his 120-acre farm in Maple Groye for nearly 44 years, having moved there In the spring of 1852. He was never married, and has no relatives In this part of the-country. He has lived almost the life of a hermit, having no particular friends nor. Intimate ac­ quaintances, but living on friendly terms with his neighbors and having no enemies so far as known. He Is well known in Nashville, where he has done his trading ever since the town was started, and is a quiet. In­ offensive old man, who attends strlclly to his own business. He makes no statement as to whether the robbers got all of his money or not, but it seems to be the opinion of his neigh­ bors that be has plenty more either hidden or In some place of security. It is difficult to determine how ser­ ious his injuries may be, for while they are not what would be serious to a younger man, bls advanced age and the terrible ordeal be was compelled to undergo all through that long night may combine to such an extent that he may not recover, although he is a. man of an exceptionally strong consti­ tution and may pull through all right. That he was not killed outright was nut the fault of his assailants, and it is certainly to be hoped that they may be apprehended ana receive the pun­ ishment they have so richly earned. THANKSGIVING IN NASHVILLE. It Wm & Lovely Day Very General­ ly Observed. Last Thursday, Thanksgiving day, was an ideal one for a winter holiday. The sun was bright and warm—In fact too warm for the sleighing, which was fairly good up to that time, but by night It was pretty badly whipped. The day was very generally observed. There were a large number of reun­ ions of families, friends and nelghbor-hoods and -very little business was transacted In town. Thanksgiving forenoon saw almost everybody who bad a vehicle on run­ ners out enjoying the sleighing and the almost spring weather, either in a ride about town or on their way to spend the day with friends in the country, and many of the younger people who do not often get a chance to take a sleigh ride, except by catch­ ing on bobs, were called upon and treatsd to jolly rides by several of the kind and tender-hearted ladles and gentlemen of the town. The attendance at the Congrega tlonal church in the morning upon the usual Thanksgiving exercises was good, and all listened to a good ser­ mon full of tine thoughts appropriate to the day and the times, by Rev. E. E. Branch. The afternoon was enjoyed like the fore noon. The evening was spent by the peo­ ple In various ways some, calling upon friends and neighbors, and others Join­ ing a jolly coasting party on Purkey's bill. The weather continued warm dur­ ing the entire day and night. Thanksgiving day is coming to l>e more and more generally observed In Narsville by all classes of people and they are better off for giving at least one day in the year to just such en­ joyment as they Lave, although not observing the day In just the spirit In which it was intended It should be by '.he old New England forefathers.

A still has been captured in Shermpn County in which whisky was being made frt>m the beets. It was owned by Charles Reidil, a farmer. The quality was good, and fears arc entertained by revenue offi­ cials that other farmers will engage in the business. Reidil claimed to have had the property for fifteen years, but had only been making spirits fur n year, and then only fofTiis own utc. There was suffi­ cient’ evidcure, however, to disprove both of these statements. The outfit was all made of copper, of an approved pattern and was in good condition. The still had a capacity of fifty gallons a day. SEVERAL MINERS DEAD. Crushed Under Tons of Falling Earth An accident, resulting in tbe loss of thirteen or fourteen lives, occurred nt the mines at Tilly Foster, near Carmel, N. Y., Friday afternoon.'

The earth crashed over the men with tremendous force. Out of oue gang of eleven men only five came out alive, and three of the men employed in another gang were taken out dead. night came the downpour of the mixture uf snow and rain and sleet'came heavier and the wind, which was gusty in the afternoon, roae to a gale.

If the hairs are stiff aud irregular, the line of beauty la at­ tainable vylth the use of pincera This Is a heroic remedy, as each rebellious, straggling hair must be pulled out by the roots. Afterward, put cold cream upon tbe brow to allay the irritation, nnd also to smooth down Inequalities; then pinch the bairs Into shape with tho tips of the fingers, rubbing from the nose toward tbe temples. Always keep a small brash and use it daily on the eyebrows. Should they be thin and of a pale uncertain color, there can be no harm In using one of tbe pencil* which comes for the purpose, only be careful not to make too heavy a line; the lashes moy be darkened with a lit­ tle liquid India ink.

Director of tbe Mint Says Sensible Great N'cara-ruan Project Given ■ r-tngucrlnx Backset. According to the New York Herald a ■erious blow has been dealt the Nica­ raguan Canal Company's project for tho construction of a waterway cross- tho Isthmus by the report of the Nicaraguan Canal comtuiasibn. Inevitable delay nnd a further and more thorough investiga­ tion of the entire subject are declared to be cecvssary before even the engineering feasibility of any canal across Nicaragua can be decided upon. The report is tat such variance with tho numerous rumors and predictions which'have from time to time been published concerning it that it will cause great surprise and disappoint­ ment among those who have hoped for a generally favorable report, nnd who have, tliereforc, placed crcuenre in these ru­ mors, which usually stated "on the high­ est authority” that the- commission fa­ vored tho route proposed by the com­ pany and placed the cost of the cnnnl at about $110,600,000. ‘The report points out that it is neither practicable nor advisable to attempt tho construction of the Nicaragua Canal up­ on tiie data at present available, nnd that TIIE WOODSTOCK JAIL. the undertaking would be fraught with hazards too obvious to disregard. That the necessary knowledge may be had of the physical and topographical conditions affecting the construction and mainten­ ance of a canal across Nicaragua, upon which to,form a final judgment ns to the foasf&Uty, permanence nnd cost, the commi^d^Q recommends nn appropria­ tion by Congress of $.350,000 for extrusive additional surveys and examinations, covcring a period of eighteen months. With the data at hand, however, the commission makes a provisional cstlmato of the cost of $133,472,893, or nearly double that of the Maritime Canal Com­ pany's unconditional estimate of $69,­ 893,660. The commission makes its es­ timate "provisional,” for the rammission* era say the existing data are inadequate ns n basis for estimating the cost of many structures. Some portions'of the work may cost more, others less. The report aays the official estimate by the company of $<>9,893,U00 is insufficient for the work; that “in several Important cases tho quantities must lie grea’tly increased, and in numerous cases the unit prices do not make proper allowance for the difference in cowt of work between the United States nnd Nicaragua." The general trend of the entire report is certainly very unfavorable to tho canal company. The commission refrains from any direct criticism of tbe company’s prospectus, but its report shows that cer­ tain features, which the company baa persisted in assuring tho public through Congress were known to bo absolutely safe and feasible. If put In execution might jeopardize the practicability of the whole system, and possibly destroy for­ ever the hope of a'canal by means of the San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua. The director of the mint has submitted his report to the Secretary of the Treas­ ury. Mr. Preston, in a review of tho monetary legislation of the country, states that the real demonetization of silver tsok place in 1853, when the weight of the divisional coins was reduced about 7 per cent. Thia, he says, was not an acci­ dent or an oversight; it wns expressly de­ clared in the House of Representatives that the intention was to make gold the •ole standard of value. In large transac­ tions, and rilrer, subservient to it, for ■mall ones. The act of 1873, be says, was only nominal.

He is an officer of the Legion of Hunor and baa ba< n medalMl at, tbe Salon and at Inter­ national exhibitions repeatedly. The large fire-etory building on Middle street. Lowell.

The hair is parted softly, ami the bonnet baud should bare a Huie depression right in the center where the central jewel or bow h placed, which depression or point should fit sndgly against the part. Between the screrrty of the walking hat and the tiny elalwratetiess of the l>K]Ue or bonnet on the one hand, and the almost reckless tnagfiilicenee-af tho genuine picture hat on the other hand, fhsrc b» a medium whose number of exprrahion^ is legion. The general type, however, is of felt, nnd Its idxe may be called reasonable, not a cart wheel nor yet a whole side of a house, as it were. Koch bats arc more suitable for young folks than the band bonnet. For tbe girl of from 16 lo'±0 or so. they seem Hptft:ially adapted. Brown felts trim­ med quite severely with rcry heavy­ finish black satin ribbon, arranged in a pair bf church steeple bows, ono standing up on cither side of the hat. and with n spreading pair of loops xioDExATEi.T ricTvnr.sqvE, across the front of the hat, are strictly good form. Such a hat Is the one drawn here, Iu brim being narrow at tho sides, almost nothing at the back, and rather wide and creased upward in front. It Is wont well forward on tho face, the up-crease showing tho sim­ ply arranged hair beneath. Especial distinction Is given to such a Jtat by choice of color, and n very stunning oue of blue felt Is trimmed with bows of stiff ribbon In changeable green. Some of the sweilest women’s hatters are making these hats of material to match the gown, ’•’he hat takes the shape and stiffness from many close rows of stitching, which go right through the satin lining and Intcr-waddlng, nnd very fine cording set on the under side of the brim gives It the necessary elas­ ticity. Such a hat Is just about inde­ structible. nnd cannot but look well on any but distinctly formal occasions. Picture hats themselves are almost as numerous qs the last mentioned "be­ tween" types; If they were not, they would lose their plcturesqueness. But It is hardly possible to get picture ef­ fects without tbe use of feathers. In­ deed, one cannot have too many feath­ ers. nor can they be arranged with too eccentric luxuriance. Al the same time, If a hat Is of extra slxe and trim­ med with n view to pleturesqoeuess. It may Im? called a picture hat aud yet be aimost practical In outline. All sorts of effects are secured by the removing of the top of crowns and by setting a THIS HRASOX'fl TAM SnAPE. deep pleating of silk upright about the hat, binding it by a band of rlblwn, the pleating escaping above In deeply-dent­ ed scallops, often high above where the crown was placed originally. Often the missing top of tho crown Is supplied by a false crown.of silk that fits down along the sides o^ the hat to the brim, and It gathered about the top of tbe crown In deep pleats, these standing forward and being held by a deep band or fold of the silk that surrounds the hat below. This pleating, as in the fqurth bat presented. Is often made only across the front and where it stops at the aides benches of feathers that droop on to the hat brim make n hand­ some finish. Tbe back of the brim of this hat is turned up In a generous •csDop, and almost always there Is ■ome modification of the simple round of the brim at back or sides, while in front It either stands oni straight or droops of its own Weight There is a iriqunney about the big hat tipped a ilttla forward that keeps it in style, though It can no longer be accepted us a novelty.

C., Noy. 30,1896. Dxab News:— Since my first letter we bare been Ten- busy looking about tbe city. Sat­ urday we took In the Fish Commission building, where we saw many odd­ looking fish, crabs, eels, etc., and many strange things we bad never seen before, and were shown the pro­ cess of batching fish. Next we visit­ ed the medical museum, where we saw manv strange freaks of nature not to be seen anywhere else. The National Museum Is close by, and Is a good place to spend a week. .There you find m specimen of every animal, small aud large, from tbe wilds of Africa to Northern Michigan. There la also a large collection of sea animals, or fish, for they are both. We then visited the Central Market, the largest one I ever saw. If 1 were to judge, I would sajUherc were mure provisions itiaigUL than the world could <-at all winter: and It is just as neat aud clean as Che markets at home. Hundreds of wag­ ons from the farms all around tbe city for twenty miles come and stay all night so as to be on tbe market early In the morning. There Is a market near us, called Q street market, yery nice and clean aud about une-tbird as large as the Central market. Every­ thing is for sale you could possibly think of, cooked or raw. The 28tb, the day set apart by the President for eating turkey, was a very fine one. ‘ Wc went to hear a patriotic sermon by Dr. Todd at eleven Tbco after e«Ung «U Uirey we could hold we started out with a party of six to see tbe river. The stream Is spanned by several very long bridges, connecting the District to “Old Virginia.” We passed through Georgetown, and saw there a bouse built before the revolutionary war. We were also In sight of the Chesa­ peake & Ohio canal. We soon came iq Fort Myers, standing high up on the bluffs of the river. One regiment of soldiers 1- stationed here perman­ ently to protect tbecity. Passing on, we soon came to tbe National Ceme­ tery, located on Arlington Heights, Gen. Robert E. Lee’s old home. A great many famous officers and soldiers are restipg here. Genera! Lee surely had a much finer home than did George Washington. The whole farm of several thousand acres was confiscated by, the government, and the Lee family had to vacate, be­ cause Robert was working for Jeff Da­ vis instead of Uncle Sam. Hut short­ ly after the war, Uncle Sam saw fit to Say the Lee heirs two hundred and fty thousand dollars for tbe property. Returning to our rooms last Satur­ day evening, we met four of our old friends whom we had been with at Orlando for two winters—a very pleas­ and surprise. Sabbath morning we went to hear Dr. Todd preach, at the Hamlin M. E. church, which is a very large and fine edifice: they have a large pipe o:gan and eighteen voices in the choir. On tbe 24th we left the dock at the foot of Seventh street for a trip down the Potomac on the steamer Chas. McOulister. Our first stop was at Fort Foot, and the next one Fort Wash­ ington, a Harge stone put on a high bluff on the Maryland side of the river. There are fine farms facing the rlyer as far back as one can see. Next we heard the steamer's bell tolling, re­ minding us that we were nearing Mount Vernon, tbe old farm and borne of George Washington. It Ip kept in yerj nice repair and everything In the orignal shape as far as possible. It is located on tbe Virginia side of the river. The carriage house and the Gid tomb are kept in repair by the state of Michigan. " \ We went to tbe Washington monu­ ment twice before we ventured to go up tbe 550 feet In tbe elevator. We went up and down with thirty other people, taking eleven minutes to go up and ten to come down. It was a clear day and we had a magnificient ylew of the city and river from the windows at the top. We are having beautiful weather for sight-seeing now; Hearing of the cold and snow in Michigan, we are glad to be this for south. Yours Truly, H. A. Brooks. A SAILOR, RAILROADER. GENTLEMAN S BON. AND (Special Orreapossdenee to T1U MXW».) Cotati Rancho, Sonomo Co., California, Nov. 7, 1896. Editor of News: They were the best of friends when I first knew them. Their little farms lay side by side, and when I first met them they had put a fence all around the place and bad the land inside all together. The gentleman’s son came first, bought a piece of land and went to work on the ranch. Then came the railroader, he bought a piece Join­ ing gentleman’s son on the right; and went to work to build a house. Gen­ tleman came down, made hls acquaint­ ance and asked him to build-bis house also. Railroader said be was no car­ penter, but aa gentleman insisted on it, be would do his best, and be did. Soon there were two neat little cream­ colored houses to be seen on tbe lota. They«now took up their abode in their respective bouses, and ’twas then that sailor came among them. He had' been an old ehum of railroader’s in Montana, so went into his cottage to stay with him. He had a piece of land bought before, and as soon as railroader could build hls bouse he went to live on bis own land. The three men now fenced in their land and rested for the winter. It was In the spring their ad­ ventures began. It began with tbe plowing. Gentleman hired a man to plow and then fooled with tbe land until it was all burned up, and so cloddy that scarcely anything would grow on it. Railroader and sailor nut tbeir horses together and worked, but railroader being selflab, worked hfe land fine at sailors expense; aud sail­ or’s land was also cloddy. we Hire sure of a crop pul fourteen kern eis In it hill and found il U» thick; railroader spent two weeks with an aching back pulling hls out, while geutleman left his and had nothftg hot stalks fur.txifl pains. When culti viting time came Rail­ roader 4 id a fine job <1^ h,»- 8ailor did half a job and gentleman iet his take care of Rsswlf. so It went <«u all hummer. They built barns and hen houses, raised chickens and hoed their trees; railroader always coming first sailor second and gentleman always behind. Poor gentleman had to work alone while the others worked to­ gether. ’ • Even up to this time they had lived io peace, but now railroader wanted to go away, and waatrd a fence be­ tween himself and gentleman. He must have that fence, so they went to work and drew pickets and started to build. Here tbe trouble began, rail­ roader said gen tieman was not build Ing his fence right and gentleman de­ clared he was. He put It up shaky and the wind blew It down and he had to build it again. He hadn’t pickets enough and in filling the place with lath, he incurred railroader s-Jilapk-usure and some sliarp words were said on both sides. But even l»efore this, sailor bad gotten into difficulties with railroader, as I said they were part­ ners. Well, railroader bought u new horse and now had two; but still he used sailor's borac. One day when he was plowing for wheat on farmer's place Sailor remarked to him that be could use bisown horse fur a day as be should take his horse to go to Santa Rosa to buy bens. This made railroader angry aud he said be would □ever use his horse again. Now he determined to break the partnership and settle with saliur and each go hi« own way, so he drew up along bill In which be said sailor owed him for Lbe building of his house and sundry other* things to which sailor objected, the result being a threatened lawsuit: somehow thia was averted but they were bitter enemies and said and did all they could against each other. Sailor now went into partnership with gentleman, which caused the row be­ tween gentleman and railroader. Well, there were threats and boasts and and talks of lawsuits and fights aud nobody knows what; all Cotati was iu froth over it, sldefc were taken and talk ran high, In tbe meantime another crop had been grown aud gathered and each had done better than before. But what of that? Each was now an enemy of the other and the peace and harmony of it all was gone. Each was a fool at the begin­ ning and su he will continue to the end of tbe chapter. Why continue any longer? The story might go on indefinitely but it is common enough. I only note It here because they were all good friends of mine and I knew tbe ins and outs of the whole thing. 'They are still look­ ing daggers at each other and swear­ ing revenge, and God only knows bow It will end. Why could they not have lived In peace? Why should fair Cotati be In atumoil because of their differences? I cannot answer the question, can you? It Is well that California Is no longer given over u» the reckless and desperate. You, my readers, may think I am dealing In a little romance but such Is not the case; these men may be seen any day In Cotati. Their names 1 have withheld for various reasons, their occupation I have given. They were my friends and the friends of each other, that is all. Emma May Graves.

If dinner Is al dishes on a' ' NTEREST to-day us never since the Russo-Turkish war is centered on , I he crumbling Ottoman empire by the Bosphorus. It is tottering to Its fall, as R has been tottering during a century, snd although the jealousies of European nations may prevent It* complete collapse now. the day is not far distant when the Eastern question, so far as the Turk Is concerned, shall forever have been settled. It is inter­ esting then to glance nt the condition of the “sick man of Europe” and. In doing so, we shall not confine ourselves to connected narrative, but shall deal with those phases of Turkish life that appeal to us as thermos: expressive and Impressive. Constantinople, the capital of the em­ pire. has three main parts—Stamboul, tbe Turkish quarter; Calata nnd Pera, the European quarter, and Scutari, the holy quarter.- but tn each the Eastern nationalities are mixed In a confusing -way. only half the population I* Turk­ ish. tbe other half Is Greek, Armenian. Jewish nnd European. It Is ail a jum­ ble of colonies, in juxtgppsltion tbe one to the other, divided by Insurmounta­ ble barriers of customs, of language nnd of ideals. Each community pro­ cesses to defy nnd disdain the others. The J<$w Is put at the bottom rung of the social ladder; In this hierarchy lie hardly passes the level of the boot­ black. The Pcnaant Ttfrk. The Turk is majestic. He admits only four vocations fit for him—that of a government officer. a seldlcr. a priest and an agriculturist. lie Is just enough of an agriculturist to raise In each In­ stance for himself, leaving hls empire to buy her wheat snd flour from Hun­ gary aud Russia. The Turk of the country—tbe peas­ ant the farmer—whom power has not corrupted nor oppression debased. Is eald to be a good deal of a man, an up­ right man. Ills sobriety Is proverbial, for he Ilves on black bread and cold water. He knows nothing of tbe dram shop. He Is clean In hls habits, and yet he lives In what amounts to a hole In the ground, without furniture or windows. Generally speaking, he takes but one wife, nnd if be takes n second he treats her kindly and adores •hls children. His kindness to animals 1s beyond praise. He is generous, rare­ ly refusing alms: he Is hospitality itself. I esty often farces him to spend hls whole life to pay a skinflint creditor. It is the Mussulman who does the sol­ diering. By laying a trifling tax, the Greek amt Armenian are exempt A deplor­ able law exempts all inhabitants of Constantinople from serving in th> ar­ my. So the peasant, who should be niaking tiie most out of the soil, is the conscript. It is hard lines for n young fellow who is probably married and has children, to leave farm and family and start on a military career that com­ prises three or four years In regular service, three In tbe reserve, eighteen in the Landwefcr and six In the Land-­ sturm. Immense tracts of fertile land are left untilled. Not only wheat, but meat. Is lacking. There-Is rich pastur­ age. but there are few fine oxen or cows. Although Turkey furnishes the Syrian breed oil horses to the Western world, its own’nre described as stunt­ ed ami without nerve or staying pow­ ers. The Turk might make wine, but the Koran says no, ao it Is the Greek and European who are engaged In that Industry. What a Holy War Mennu. The Turk I* an excellent soldier. He Is well disciplined, respectful, and easily led. All his merits are bls own; from bls officers be gets none. But by hi* religion he is a ruthless fellow in battle, for to a Turk every foreigner Is a heretic. Unlike the officials of the civil service, the Turkish soldier has an Insolent disdain for Europeans. Tur­ key sacrifices much for Its army. All its regulations and theories arc Ger­ man. Its cavalry Is splendidly mount­ ed on horses bought In Hungary, and Turkish horsemen are excellent. The Turk errs In war because badly officer­ ed. Ills officer Is Ignorant, lazy and badly paid, but he Is brave, and almost as great a fanatic ns the private sol­ dier. When the Sultan deciares what Is called the Holy War. the Turk be­ large an? commonly supplied. Put only the •right hand Into the dish. When -the' repast h over ablution* 4 follow at a marbte fountain tn another apartment. Mutton aud chicken are the chief meats. Tha Turk makes many an ep-' peilsbw dish. He is an artist In cook­ ing vegetables, and equally, as great in preparing sweets. Brigandage Fionrishc*. Throughout the empire brigandage flourishes, and the brigand belongs to many nationalities. Now he Is a Bui- Tnx svtTAN’s pataca. gnrian, now an Albanian, Kurd, Greek, Turcoman or something else. One ban­ dit. when taken, boasted that he had roasted eleven prisoners tn tar bar­ rel*. A village raid means destruc­ tion, cruelty and dishonor. A peasant 1s safest when he has nothing to lose; so It is more comfortable to hare noth­ ing than be knocked on the head. Brig­ andage In Turkey Is not ft shameful trade. It Is a common boast to have a “brother in the mountains.” The man who rules over this queer empire Is the Sultnn. Abdul Hamid IL, a weak and vacillating despot For years he has not dared to leave the boundaries of his palace. On each Fri­ day he is obliged to attend public prayer at n mosque; but bls excursions from bls palnce walls have how become so limited, that be observes this law by going to a mosque on the slope of palace hill. Like the Pope, tbe com­ mander of tiie faithful is a man in -prison. When he goes to prayer hls guard makes Ills passage as safp as RIOTS IN -STAMIOUL-MASSACRE OF ARMENIANS BY POLICE, SOTTAS, AND KURDS. He sets forth his best, and with infinite tact He is not a hard worker. If ho produces more than he eats he knows the tax sharks will grab It. Some­ times, when peasants hear'tbat digni­ taries or soldiers are coming, they flee to the mountains—they know there* Is nothing left in the path of such guests. Oppressed by taxation nnd living from band to month, rhe Turk cannot but be thriftless and improvident. Hia hon- comes a creature to watch and shoot at sight, for tbe latter fate he will mete to all that oppose him. When the Sul­ tan goes to the old Seraglio, where are the prophet's holy relics, and brings out Mohammed’s green standard, then every Mussulman, according to a re­ ligious law, must strangle his wife and children, burn bis bouse and destroy everything that Units him to life. But* a warrior goes out to rage and siay, and to kill as many as possible before he himself succumbs. Turkey has hired Germans to give her army a mod­ ern twist, nnd the Germans have done their best under hostile condition*. If the Turk Is culled to arm* during the years of hls betterment or extinction he will make a desperate fight Hls cam­ paigns may lack military science, but man and man he will expire ia a way that will add some glory to the creed of Islam. The Turk in his home lives In a oort of mental and bodily stupor.

Sulphur Is of tho greatest service In tin* greenhouse. It is invaluable, ac­ cording to the Philadelphia Ledger, against mildews .and a great help against the red spider. The commoir way for using It Is to mix with nn equal bulk iof air-slaked lime, and with water, oil or milk mixed to a paste with which to paint the heating surfaces of tbe house. There are other methods of using sulphur, ns placing the flour of sulphur on tin plates on the heating pipes, or saturating cotton rags with melted sulphur, letting them dry,, then laying them over the heating surface and moistening them. El:her is unob­ jectionable. . At what weight should a pig be mar­ keted? Tbe more a pig weighs, the more food must be oaten to support life. The animal must first be kept allta, then any surplus of food goes to make growth, says the Orange County Fanner. The 300-pound pig has half as much again of bodily tissue to keep alive and to nourish ns a 200-pound an­ imal, and there hi, consequently, a smaller proportion of the food left for Inducing growth. There Is, therefore, a time when tho cost of keeping begins to exceed the value of the Increase and profit ceases. If the ordinary person were to take up pheasant raising oh a hobby he would vote every variety delicate—that Is, unless he possessed great patience and an almost unlimited capacity for work, says the Germantown Telegraph. Playing mother to a dozen or more young pheasants, in which there Is an inborn desire to eat every hour or so, and whose appetites crave such tidbits as gnats or grubs and insect eggs from old tree trunks, Is an occupation which keeps one on the jump or dig most of hls time.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. would establish n bad precedent. The efforts of our ambassador to procure It, however, though retarded by recent changes in the French ministry, have not been relaxed, and Ifcls confidently expect­ ed that some satisfactory solution of the matter will shortly be reached. Mean­ while, It appears that Mr. Waller’s con­ finement has every alleviation which the state of his health and all tho other cir­ cumstances of tho case demand or per­ mit.” The President points out as a pleasant contrast tho conclusion of a permanent treaty of arbitration between the two countries, and recommends the accept­ ance of the invitation to take part in the Paris exiMisition of 1900. Our relations with Germany, he says, are influenced by the "delusive doctrine that the internal development of a nation is promoted nnd its wealth increased by a policy.which is undertaking to reserve its homo markets for the exclusive use of Its own producers, necessarily obstructs their sales in foreign markets, nnd. pre­ vents freo access to tho products of tho world. Tho desire to retain trade in time­ worn ruts, regardless of the Inexorable laws of new needs nnd changed condi­ tions of demand and supply, and our own halting tardiness to inviting a freer ex­ change of.commodities and by this means Imperiling our footing to ' the external markets naturally open to us, have cre­ ated a situation somewhat injurious to American import interests, not only in Germany, whore they are perhaps most noticeable, but in adjacent countries. The effect of this, particularly on food products and nfso on our insurance com­ panies, Is pointed out. The. necessity for open-handed fairness indenting with oth­ er nations is stated, but it is nrgued that If necessary to provide restrictions simi­ lar to those from which we suffer In or­ der to guard against unfair discrimina­ tion, the way tn such n course is easy, but should not be lightly entered upon. Tho vexatious points of tho Bering sea question are referred to and the failure of the arbitration tribunal to provide a means of settlement are pointed out. The insufficiency of the British patrol of Bering Sea and the necessity for a more effective enforcement of regulations have, it is said, been pointed out to tho British Government, if it is hoped to save the seals from extinction. Of the proposal to pay $125,0)0 to Great Britain in settle­ ment of British claims for damages, which was refused by the last Congress, the President recommends that it can ngalu be considered and sanctioned. If this is refused we are bound by every consideration of honor and good faith, be says, to provide for a speedy settlement by arbitration. A treaty of arbitration’ is, accordingly, to be laid before tho Senaje. An appropriation for the completion or tho Alaska boundary survey, which follows the contour of the coast is earnest­ ly recommended. The Importance of an In­ ternational agreement ns to the line of the Hist meridian, which forms tho rest of tho boundary, is dwelt upon. Attention is also called to tho unsatisfactory condition of the boundaries with Canada in the great lakes and the necessity for a joint commission on the subject. of the war with Japan, the consequent weakening of the central authority of the government and tho serious outbreaks of the old fanatical spirit against foreigners is discussed. The demands of the United States and other powers for the punish­ ment of the aggressors nnd the compli­ ance of tiie Chinese Government arc re­ lated, as is the demand of the United States for a special commission to in­ vestigate the disturbances where they were first brought out.. “The energetic steps we have thus taken," says the President, "are .all the more likely to result in future safety to our citizens In China, because the im­ perial government is, I am persuaded, en­ tirely convinced that we desire only the liberty and protection of our own citizens and redress for any wrongs that they may have suffered, and that we have no ulte­ rior designs or objects, political or other­ wise." Of the Waller ipcident the message says: "The-customary cordial relations between this country and France have been undisturbed with the exception that a full explanation of the treatment of Jean L. Waller by the expeditionary mili­ tary authorities of France still remains to be given." “The official record of the trial has been furnished thia government," aays the mesaage, “but the evidence adduced in support bf tire charges—which was not received by the French minister for for­ eign affairs till the first week in October— has thus far been withheld, the French Government taking tha ground that its production Ln response to our demand Of Venezuela the message simply states that a statement of the interest and pol­ icy of the United States regarding the boundary dispeto was sent to Great Brit­ ain in July last. “The general conclusions therein reach­ ed and formulated,” says the President, "are in substance that the traditional nnd established policy of the Government is firmly opposed to forcible increase by any European power of its territorial possessions on this continent; that this policy is as well founded in principle as it is strongly supported by numerous precedents; that as a consequence the United States is bound to protest against the enlargement of the area of British Guiana in derogation of the rights and against the will of Venezuela: that, con­ sidering the disparity in strength of Great Britain and Venezuela, the territorial dispute between- them can be reasonably settled only by friendly and impartial arbitration, and that the resort to such arbitration should include tiie whole con­ troversy, and it is not satisfied if one of tho powers concerned bo permitted to draw an arbitrary line through the terri­ tory in debate and declare that it will sub­ mit to arbitration only the portion lying on one side of it In view of these con­ clusions, the dispatch in question called upon the British Government for a defi­ nite answer to the question whether It would or would not submit the territorial controversy between itself and Venezue­ la in its entirety to impartial arbitra­ tion. The answer of the British Govern­ ment has not been received, but Is expect­ A NATION'S AFFAIBS President Cleveland’s Message to Congress. HIS CURRENCY PLAN. Would Issue Bonds and Retire Greenbacks.

President Cleveland's message to the Fifty-fourth Congress was not trans­ mitted until Tuesday forenoon, when It was read before both House and Senate. It was of great length, over 20.000 words; it dealt exhaustively with alt quest! >ns which have arisen during the past year, and also with those of current interest. Tha message opens with a reference to the importance of our foreign relations and the exigencies of the national finances at this time nnd the consequent deter­ mination of tho President to confine his message to the subjects. The first subject of importance touched upon is the disordered condition of af­ fairs in China following upon the close / The Venezuela Controversy. ed shortly, when further communication on the subject will probably be made to the Congress. Hawaii is dismissed with a reference to the uprising last January, the demands made upon the Hawaiian Government for the rights of American citizens concerned therein, and the demand for the recall of Minister Thurston. The padrone system Is denounced as re­ sponsible for such manifestations against helpless aliens as the lynching of Italians in Colorado. Congratulations are offered on our good relations with Japan, in view of her vast gains in greatness. Unimpor­ tant references are made to our relations with Mexico, Nicaragua and Russia. The recommendation for an abandonment of the Samoan agreement is renewed. Of Cuba the President says the United States must preserve international faith, whatever the sympathy of our citizens with the insurgents. Ho continues: "Though neither the warmth of our people'a sympathy with the Cuban insur­ gents nor our loss or material damage consequent upon the futile endeavors thus far made to restore peace and order, nor any shosk our humane sensibilities may have received from the cruelties which appear to especially characterize this san­ guinary and fiercely conducted war, hare in the least shaken the detern^nation of the Government to honestly fiwill every International obligation, yet it is to be earnestly hoped on every ground that the devastation of armed conflict may speed­ ily be stayed and order nnd quiet restored to the distracted Island, bringing in their train tho activity and thrift of peaceful pursuits." The Allianea incident and Spain’s dis­ avowal of it and assurances of n non-recurrence of similar interferences are stat­ ed. The President then expresses hls regret that the Turkish Government should bare thwarted the purpose to send to the dis­ turbed quarter of the empire tho United States consul at Siras in order to investi­ gate nnd report. Every effort, he says, is put forth to insure the safety of Ameri­ can citizens and the United States minis­ ter is alert. But, he goes on, several of the most powerful European powers have assumed a duty as agents of the Christian world in Turkey to restrain fanatical bru­ tality. and “it is earnestly hoped that prompt nnd effective action on their part will not be delayed." The message recommends at length an Improvement in the consular service by some plan of appointment nnd control. Delicate Financial Bit nation. Fully half the message is devoted to a discussion of the financial situation. "By command of the people,” the mes­ sage says, "a customs revenue system de­ signed for tho protection and benefit of favored classes at the expense of the great mass of our countrymen, and which, while inefficient for the purpose of revenue, curtailed our trade relations and Impeded our entrance to the markets of the world, hns been superseded by a tariff policy which In principle is based upon a denial of the right of the government to obstruct the avenues to our people's cheap living or lessen their comfort and contentment, for the sake of according especial advant­ ages to favorites, nnd which, while en­ couraging our intercourse and trade with other nations, recognizes tho fact that American self-reliance, thrift and ingenu­ ity can build up our country's industry and develop its resources more surely than enervating paternalism." But this and tiie repeal of the silverpurchase law, it is said, fall far short of curing the financial evils from which we suffer. A lengthy review follows of the growth of our currency, especially the United States notes nnd treasury notes, and the consequent endless drain on tho gold re­ serve of the treasury. The President states that “among the causes for this constant and uniform shrinkage in this fund may be mentioned I the great falling off of exports under tho operation of the tariff law until recently in force, which crippled our exchange of commodities with foreign nations and necessitated to some extent the payment of our balances in gold; the unnatural In­ fusion of silver Into our currency, and the inareasing agitation for its free and unlimited coinage, which have created ■apprehension aa to our disposition or ability to continue gold payments; the consequent hoarding of gold at home and the stoppage of investments of foreign capital aa well as the return of our se­ curities already sold abroad, and the high rate of foreign exchange, which In­ duced the shipment of our gold to be drawn against as a matter of specula­ tion.” Dealings with Bond Syndicate. The history of the various bond trans- । " - - actions which have been resorted to in or­ der to replenish the gold reserve is re­ viewed and tty* constant subsequent fall­ ings off pointed out. Of the last transac­ tion with the syndicate the President aays: “The performance of this contract not only restored the reserve, but checked for a time the withdrawals of gold and brought on a period of restored confidence and such peace and quiet in business cir­ cles as were of the greatest possible value to every Interest that affects our people. I have never had the slightest misgiving concerning the wisdom or propriety of this arrangement, and am quite willing to answer for my full share of responsibility for its promotion. I believe.it averted a disaster, the Imminence of which was fortunately not at the time generally un­ derstood by onr people." Wo are now. tbe President says, nearly whore we started nnd nearly nil of tho gold withdrawn has been paid out on United States notes, which still remain uncanceled. Therefore,, he says, “I am convinced the only thorough and practic­ able remedy for our troubles is found in the retirement and cancellation of our ^United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, and the outstanding treasury notes issued by the government in pay­ ment of silver purchases uudcr the act of 1800." I believe this could be quite readily ac­ complished by the exchange of these notes for United States bonds of small as well as large denominations, l>earing a low rate of interest. They should be long­ term bonds, thus Increasing their desira­ bility as investments, and because their payment could bo well postponed to a period far removed from present financial burdens and perplexities, when, with in­ creased prosperity and resources, they would be more easily met. To further insure the cancellation of these notes and also provide a way by which gold may bo added to our currency in lieu of them, a feature in tho plan should be an authority given to the Sec­ retary of the Treasury to dispose of tho bonds abroad for gold if necessary to com­ plete the contemplated redemption and cancellation, permitting him to use tiie proceeds of such bonds to take up and cancel any of the notes that may be in the treasury or that may be received by the Government on any account. The increase of our bonded debt involv­ ed would be amply compensated by renew­ ed activity in all business circles, restored confidence at home, reinstated faith In our -monetary strength abroad and stim­ ulation’of every interest and Industry that would follow the cancellation of tho gold-demand obligations. In any event, the bonds proposed would stand for the extinguishment of a troublesome Indebted­ ness, while in the path we now follow there lurks the menace of unending bunds, with our Indebtedness still undischarged and aggravated in every feature. The ob­ ligations necessary to fund this indebted­ ness would not equal in amount those from which we have been relieved since 1881 by anticipation and payment beyond the requirements of the sinking fund out of our surplus revenue. The currency withdrawn by the retire­ ment of the United States notes nnd treasury notes, amounting to probably less than $4845.000,000 might be supplied by such gold as would be used In tbeir retire­ ment or by an increase in the circolitlon of our national banks. Though the aggre­ gate capital of those now la existence amounts to more than $664,000,000, their outstanding circulation, based on bond security, amounts to only about $190,000,«M». They are authorized to issue notes amounting to 00 per cent of the bonds de­ posited to secure their circulation, but in no event beyond the amount of their capital stock, and they are obliged to pay 1 per cent tax on the circulation they Is­ sue. I think they should bo allowed to Imus circulation equal to the par value of the bonds they deposit to secure it. and that the tax on their circulation should bo reduced one-fourth of 1 per cent., which wuuld meet all the expense Government incurs on their account. In addition they should be allowed to substitute or deposit, in lieu of the bonds now required as se­ curity for their circulation, those which would be issued for the purpose of re­ tiring the United States notes and treas­ ury notes. The banks already existing, if they desired, could issue circulation in addi­ tion to that already outstanding, amount­ ing to $478,000,000, which would nearly or quite equal the currency proposed to be cancelled. At any rate, I should con­ fidently expect to see the existing nation­ al banka, or others to bt^organlzed, avail themselves of the proposed encourage­ ments to Issue circulation, and promptly �fill any vacuum and supply every cur­ rency need. It has always seemed to me that the prorixionn of law regarding the capital of national hanks which operate as a lim­ itation to their location fail to make proper compensation for the suppression of State banka, which came near to the people in all sections of the country and readily furnished them with banking ac­ commodations and facilities. Any in­ convenience or embarrassment a rising from these restrictions du the location of national banka might well Ih» remedied by better adapting the present system to the creation of banks In smaller comtnonities-or by i»enuitting banks of largo capital to establish branches In such lo­ calities as would serve the people—»o regulated . aud restrained as to swore their safe and conservative control and management. But there might not be the necessity for such an addition to the currency by new issues of bank circulation as ut first glance is Indicated. If we should be re­ lieved from maintaining a gold reserve under conditions that ronstitnte it tho barometer of our solvency, and if our treasury should no longer l»e the foolish purveyor of gold for nations abroad, or for speculation and hoarding by our citisens nt home, I should expect to see gold resume its natural and normal functions in the business affairs of the country nnd cense to be an object attracting the timid watch of our people and exciting their sensitive imaginations. . Hi I ver Coinage. I do not overlook the fact that the can­ cellation of the* treasury notes issued un­ der the silver-purchasing act of 1890 would leave the treasury in the actual ownership of sufficient sliver, including seigniorage, to coin nearly $178,000,000 standard dollars. It is worthy of consid­ eration whether this might not. from time to time, be converted into dollars or fractional coin and slowly put into cir­ culation, as In the judgment of the Sec­ retary of the Treasury the heeessities of the country should require-. Whatever is attempted should be enter­ ed upon fully appreciating the fact that by careless, easy descent .we have reached a dangerous depth: our ascent will not be accomplished without laborious toil and struggle. We shall be wise if we realise that we are financially ill and that our restoration to health may require heroic treatment snd unpleasant remedies. In tbe present stage of our difficulty it Is not easy to understand how the amount of our revenue receipts directly affects it. The important question Is not the quan­ tity of money received in revenue pay­ ments, but the kind of money we maintain and our ability to continue in sound finan­ cial condition. We are considering the (iorrmmrnt'i holdings of gold as related to the soundness of our money and as affecting our national credit and monetary strength. If tbe gold reserve had never Iteen impaired; if no bonds bad been is­ sued to replenish it; if there had been no question concerning our ability to con­ tinue gold payments; if <mr revenues were now paid In gold, and if we pould look to <*ur guld receipts as a means of maintain­ ing a safe reserve, tbe amount of our revenues would be an influential factor in the problem. Rut unfortunately all the circumstances that might lend weight to thia consideration are. entirely lacking. No Guld from Revenue*. In onr present predicament no gold is received in payment of revenue charges, nor would there be if the revenues were increased. The receipts of tho treasury, when not in silver certificates, consist of United States notes nnd treasury notes tamed for silver purchases. These forms of money are only useful to the Govern­ ment in paying its current, ordinary exl<cnscs, and its quantity in Government IMMsessioD does uot in the least contrib­ ute toward giving us that kind of safe financial standing or condition which is built on gold alone. If it is said that these notes, if held by the Government, can be used to obtain gold for our reserve, the answer is easy. Thei»rople draw gold from tile treasury on demand upon United States notesand treasury notes, but the proposition that the treasury can on demand draw gold from the people upon them would be re­ garded in these days with wonder and nmuaement. And even If this could be •lone, there is nothing to prevent those thus parting with their gold from regain­ ing il the next day or tbe .next hour by I be prrseutntiun of the notes they receiv­ ed iu exchange for it. The secretary of the treasury might use such not taken from » surplus revenue to buy gold in the market. Of course be could do this withobi paying n premium. Private holders vf fold, au<lr unlike thr Government, having no parity to maintain, would not bo restrained from making the best bar­ gain possible when they furnished jpild to the treasury; but the moment tlie‘sec­ retary of the treasury bought gold on uny terms above par he would establish a general nnd universal premium upon it, thus breaking down the parity between gold and silver which the Government ia pledged to* maintain, nnd opening the way to new and serious complications. Meantime (he premium would not remain stationary, nnd the absurd spectacle might be presented of a denier selling gold to the Government, nnd with United Stales or treasury notes in hand imme­ diately clamoring for its return and a resale at a higher premium. It may be claimed that a large revenue and-redundant receipts might favorably affect tho situation under discussion by affording an opportunity of retaining these notes In the treasury when received, and thus preventing their presentation for gold. Such retention, to be useful, ought to be st least measurably permanent: and this is precisely what is prohibited, so far as United States notes are concerned, by the law of 1S7S forbidding their further retirement. That statute, iu no many words, provides that these notes, when received into the treasury And belonging to the United States, shall be'“paid out again and kept in circulation." It will, moreover, be readily seen that the Gov­ ernment could not refuse Io pay out Unit­ ed States notes and treasury notes in cur­ rent transactions when demanded, and insist on paying out silver alone nnd still maintain tbe parity between that metal and the currency representing gold. Be-sides, the accumulation in the treasury of currency of any kind exacted from the people through taxation is justly regarded ns an evil and it cannot proceed far with­ out vigorous protest against an unjustifi­ able retention of money from the business of tho country and a denunciation of a scheme of taxation which proves itself to be unjust when it Cakes from the earnings and income uf the citizens money so much In excess of the needs of govern­ ment support that large sums can be gath­ ered nnd kept in the treasury. Such n con­ dition has heretofore, in times of surplus revenue, led the Government to restore currency to the people by the purchase of its unmatured bonds at a large premium I and by a large increase of its deposit* Id national banks, and we easily remember that the abuse of treasury accumulation has furnished a most persuasive argument in favor of legislation radically reducing our tariff taxation. Perhaps it is suppM-d that sufficient revenue receipts would in a sentimental way improve the situation, by inspiring confidence in our solvency and allaying the fear of pecuniary exhaustion. And yet, throug\al! our struggle* to maintain our gold reserve, there never lias been any apprehension as to our ready ability to pay our way with such money as we had; and the question whether or not our current receipts met bur current expenses has not entered into the estimate of our solvency. Of course, the general state of our funds, exclusive of gold, was en­ tirely immaterial to tbe foreign creditor and investor. His debt could only be paid in gold, nnd his only concern waa our ability to keep on hand that kind of money. On July 1, 1802, more than a year and a half before the first bonds were issued to replenish the gnid reserve, there was a net balance In th-’ treasury, exclusive of such reserve, of less than $13,000,000; but tbe gold reserve amounted to more than $114.­ 000.000, which was the quit-ting feature ■ of the situation. It was when the stock of gold began rapidly to fall that fright supervened aud our securities held abroad were returned for sale and debts owed abroad were pressed for payment. In the meantime, extensive shipments of gold and other unfavorable indications caused restlessness and fright among our people at home. Thereupon the general state of our funds, exclusive of gold, became alvo immaterial to them, and they, too, drew gold from the treasury for hoarding against all contingencies. This is plain­ ly shown by the large increase in the pro­ portion of gold withdrawn which was re­ tained by our owu people aa time nnd threatening incidents progressed. During the fiscal year ending June 30. 1SIM. near­ ly $85,000,000 in gold was withdrawn from the treasury and about $77,000,000 was sent abroad, while during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1805, over $117,­ 000,000 was drawn out, of which only about $00.009,<W0 was shipped, leaving the large balance of such withdrawals to l>e accounted for by domestic hoarding. Increased Revenues Nn Remedy.

E W The oddest Rind of a parlor car struck Nashville Friday that has ever been seen in this part uf tbe country. It came into town from the north on runners. It looked like a typical lum­ berman's shanty set on sleighs, and was about 5 feet wide by 14 feet long. A stovepipe protruded through tbe roof and there was a little sliding door and a little two-by-two window in the rear end.

In response to a tap at tbe door a little stout man appeared. The oc­ cupants of tbe caravan proved to be J. L. White, wife and family of four little ones, the oldest just turned 6. Adroit questioning finally drew out the story of their lives. Mr. and Mrs. White were born on adjoining plantations near Somerville, Tenn.,and reared iu the lap of luxury, both families being wealthy. At an early age the two were married. Life was a bower of roses, full of love and happiness, but shortly after their marriage their fathers became in­ volved Hi a quarrel over boundery lines, expensive litigation ensued, and after the lawyers had succeeded In securing the bulk of the two planta­ tions the feud finally resulted in a vendetta, in which Mrs. White's father was killed and Mr. White's father received injuries which later on proved fatal. Mr. and Mrs. White, however, kept out of the melee aud gathered up what little property they could. They came north, resolved to forget the l^ist and start life anew, far away from the painful scenes of their childhood homes. They first located in Ohio and ilere getting along finely, when, through speculation, they lost their allied again turned their faces north­ ward. They brought up finally In Mecosta county, where they nurchased a small farm and here for years they have struggled for an existence, raising barely enough for the necessi­ ties of life. Finally, Interest, taxes and debts were too much for them, and giving up the unequal struggle, they have turned their faces toward the laud of their birth hoping at least to find old friends kind enough to lend them a helping hand in -the hour of dire necessity. They started a week ago and hope to get to their old home by the middle of January.

From the de acriptlon there given tlris engine had two slngle-aetlug pumps, the plungers ofSvhlcli were worked by a single beam, pivoti-d between the two. The streams united In a single discharge pipe, pass­ ing up a trunk In which was an air chamber, and out at a nozzle which could lx’ turned In any direction. This description might stand for a great many forms of baud fire engines used even to the present day. Something like the more modem fire engine appear* to have been brought out In the sixteenth century, and Is described as a -“water syringe." This ■was mounted on wheels and was fork­ ed by levers. Fire engines of this kind were apparently much used in Ger­ many. lu England, during the latter part of the sixteenth century, large brass syringes were employed, holding several quarts of witter, and operated by three men, two holding the syringe at each side with one hand aud direct­ ing the nozzle with the other, and the third operating the plunger. After hating discharged the water, the syr­ inge was refilled from a cistern or a well near the fire, or from buckets Later these water squirts were fitted to portable cisterns or tanks. In the latter part of tbe sevcuteenli cennyy a portable fire engine, with a double cylinder pump, mounted on n cistern or tank, from which water was drawn, was introduced in England by Ncwsham. This engine was. in Euvch 11CKER IhaH dTAIRS^jS ■’ J IRE ri<kHTiN(f bull* In New York by Captain Ericsson iu 1843. Th« first steam tire engine operated In the United States, however, was built by I*. R. Hodge, at New York. Tills engine was self-propelling, dud tlie boiler, engine and pumps were placed horizontally. When It was nec­ essary to operate the pumps, the driv­ ing wheels were raised clear of the ground, ns the same engine was used for driving and'pumping. This engine was operated at the expense of the In­ surance company, but cuntlntially met with opposition from the volunteer tire­ men. Finally, when playing nt a tire In Dover street, tbe mnehlne did such ex­ cellent work that the firemen utterly refused to allow it to bo used thereaf­ ter, and it was stored away and New York’s fire protection was again limited to the old band tubs. First Paid Fire Company. In 1852 a Cincinnati company placed a steam boiler and cylinder in connec­ tion with the pumps of a hand engine belonging to the Cincinnati department and mounted the whole contrivance on wheels and aiframv. A public trial was made of this crude affair, and it worked very successfully. In the short time of many respects, similar to the modern four minutes and ten seconds strain hand fire engine, and continued In use was raised from cold water, the engine in England up to 1832.

In one Massachusetts village there dwelt not many years ago two maiden ladies. called, though they were over forty years of age. “the Hatfield girls.” Beside this youthful appellation, they retained a youthful taste for gay col­ ore.

They were always together, and It was one of the characteristic sights of the village to s« the Hatfield girls plodding through the snow to rhe post­ office In their gyeen-and-rell plaid gowns,, black-braided coats and big, brown, fuzzy felt hats with great pea­ green bows. Their mtiffs. mittens, tip­ pets. wrist ere, barege veils, oven their rubber boots, were, duplicates of each other. In fart the sisters were as alt-. solutely alike ns the twin paper dolls which little girls cut from a piece of paper folded double. In summer it was rite same. They floated by to church In duplicate blue murlins, or watered their flower beds In the early morning In htdlstlngulshablc hideous purple wrapper*. Suddenly, the village was stirred by an exciting event: the V at field girls ! had quarreled! They quarreled be­ cause Mary Abby, who overheard a. small boy making Jokes at their ex­ pense. suggested to Ann Eliza that per­ haps It would bp ns well If henceforth they dressed Just a 111110 differently. Ann Eliza received the suggestion ai the crudest of insults; but she said ho'.'y that, 'after that, she wouldn't for a kingdom wear n dress off the same piece as Mary Abby'*. Sure enough, the sisters ceased to dress alike. Furthermore, they did not dress harmoniously. They were to­ gether aa much as ever—but if Mary Abby wore pink. Anu Eliza had ou scar­ let; If she wore green. Ann Eliza wore blue; If It were yellow, she decked herself hi magenta; if It were brown or gray, she tried to get a shade of the same color that would make her sister's appear dingy and faded. It was a war of colors waged furi­ ously for a week, bitterly for a month, spitefully for a year; then perseveringly, resolutely, obstinately, for one —two—three—four—five years; from five to ten; ten to .twelve; twelve to thir­ teen. Neither sister would give In. for af­ ter a brief exhibition of color* Mary Abby had tried to fight her offended twin with her own weapons, and to array herself hi hues too violent to be overwhelmed. They were as gay as parrnkects. the two poor bitter old twins, and the Interested village had quitegiven up expectation of a change, when at length a change came. One morning the “Hatfield girls,” side by side, and dressed in new aud glossy black, entered the poetoffice amid a crowd of staring villagers, and called for their mall. They were hi mourn­ ing evldently-MJUt nobody could think who hud died. At length the tKistmlstress ventured to Inquire. ••Yes,”' said Ann Eliza, soberly, smoothing down her now cape, “we are In mourning, it wa'n't strictly neces­ sary. I presume, but we thought it best. It's Cousin John's wife out In Mon­ tana. We've never seen her, but we hear she was a very worthy woman, and a credit to the family.” And whether or not the Hatfield girls mourned deeply for the unknown wife of Cousin John, It Is certain that for the remaining years of their lives their clothes were black, and were cut alike, aud the village guessed that they had found a way to end their warfare, with­ out acknowledging surrender, or pro.

Never a move did she make, save con­ vulsively to clutch the calf to her aide with one of her great wlng-llke flip­ pers. . We carefully approached again, the harpooner and officer having changed places, and. incredible as it may seem, almost wedged the boat In between the whale and the rocks.

It Is a most delicate fur, and is not only cost­ ly at tlrst purchase, bur Is not likely to last long.

Therefore at each Christmas season grent demand is made on the for­ ests of Maine for young spruce*. No tree but an evergreen will do, and no evergreen but the spruce present* the delicate. feather - flat, clean - Limbed branches of dark perennial shade, which throw out by contrast tbe brightness of the suspended presents and favors. On Sunday, the fifth uf December, 1891. ten car-loads of Christmas trees for New York were detained in the Portland yard because they were loaded so that it was impossible to work th* brakes. Thia ob­ jection was overruled, and the swoetstnelliug freight was allowed to proceed to its destination. Hpw the cars were loaded can easily be described, but the fragrance of twenty-fire thousand fresh­ ly cut evergreen trees must be left to the reader’s imagination. The ten cars, all “flats," or platform cars, were each thirty-four feet long, loaded eight feet high, and all came from the small station of Wiscasset, which Iles at the head of one of the numerous bays on the coast of Maine. At regular Intervals about each car. four on each aide and two at each end, were stout spruce stake*, originally Christmas trees which might have done duty at the Castle De Blunderbore. These rose to the top of the load.' which waa lim­ ited to a height that would clear all over­ head bridge* ou the road. In this space the trees wore packed lengthwise, butts to tbe front and rear tops fa tbe center, so compactly that the loaded car was one solid block of green. Bach car held al»out twenty-five hundred trees, large and snail, tied in bundh* of four. Front six hundred and fifty tn seven hundred bundles were packed in a car, so that the ten car-load lot contained twenty-five thousand trees at least. Tbe marketing of Christmas trees is a Maine specialty. Every year speculators purchase tbe right to cut trees from tbe land owners, paying half a fcent. one cent, and two cents apiece for trees from right to twelve years old on tbe stump. Then the natives are hired to cut and bring them to tbe shipping point, where they cost the speculator from ten to twelve cents each, loaded on the car. He pays also for their shipment to New York—sixty-seven dollars per car, or about two and one-half cents per tree. The trees retail in New York for from one to five dollars each, according to their sire- The same quality of tree can be purchased on the street, in the city of Portland, at from twenty-five to fifty cents each, while in other parts of the State boys who wish for Christmas trees sally forth nnd cut them for themselves. —Youths' Companion.

There are many pretty ways of serving bon-bons with the Christmas dinner. Pretty dish­ es filled with them can be placed upon the table. Dainty bags of various col- ; ored silks, with sprays of flowers painted ; upon them aud filled with bon-bons, either ’ with dinner card attached or name paint- j ed upon them, are' pleasing souvenirs. I The variety of <-sndics that can be made nt home is infinite aa to color, shape and flavor. The purity and cheapness of these manufactures are worthy of con­ sideration, also. Here are a few good recipes: French vanilla cream—Break into si bowl the white of one or more egg*, as is required by the quantity you wish to make and add to it an equal quantity of cold water; then stir in the finest pow­ dered or confeationers’ sugar until it is stiff enough to mold into shape w’ith the fingers. Flavor with vanilla to taste. After It is formed into balls, cubes or lozenges, place upon plates to dry. Can­ dies made without cooking arc not as good the first day. This cream is the founda­ tion of all the French creams. Nut creams—Ch<q> almonds, hickory* nuts, butternuts or English walnuts quite fine. Make the French cream, and be­ fore adding all tho sugar while the cream is still quite soft, stir into it tbe nuts, aud then form into balls, bars or squares. Three or four kinds of nuts may be mixed, together. Maple sugar creams-Grate maple su­ gar. mix it in quantities to suit the taste, with French crenm. adding enough con­ fectioners* sugar to mold into any shape desired. Walnut creams are sometimes made with maple sugar, aud are deli­ cious. Orange drops—Grate the rind of one orange and squeeze the juice, taking care to reject the seeds. Add to thia a pinch of tartaric acid; stir in confectioners’ sugar until it Is stiff enough to form into tented. I will not spend so much money this year on tbe useless frivolities of life.

Scace Speaks to a Reporter of Stirring Scenes— Escaped with a Slight Wouff-J, but, Like Other Vet­ erans, Has Suffered Since—A Story that Reads Like a Page from History. From the Albany, When one encounters in print the life story of some scarred veteran of the civil war a feeling of admiration and sympathy i» the certain result. Accustomed though we are to tales of herofom and suffering in everyday life, there is something peculiarly attractive about these old war records, serving, aa they do, as a sacred passport to the heart of every true American. Thousands found their rest on the field of carnage or in the hospital, but their comrades, when tho struggle was over and the victory won, returned to their homes and be­ gan anew the battle of life. John B. Scace, the widely known contractor and building mover of Albany, N. Y., has had an unusually interesting life, and when seen by a reporter recently at hb home. No. 15 Bradford Street, told of hb many experiences and adventures while serving under the old flag in the late war. Although having en­ dured all the hardships and privations of life in the ranks, Mr. Scace bean his more than half century of years with an elastic step and a keen mind taking an active interest in pri­ vate and public affairs. While still a boy, hb family moved from Albany, hb birthplace, to Pittsfield, Mass., and hare he was educated. He mastered the carpenter’s trade, became a member of Berk­ shire Lodge, No. 52, I. O. O. F., and was en­ tering upon a successful business life when came the call from Washington for men. All over the country the word sped, and excite­ ment ran high. All the old-time patriotism that had made Massachuaetts famous in Revo­ lutionary days was fired to its utmost. Every town and vi Uage sent out iu squad or company. The company in which Mr. Scare enlisted in September of 1862. as a private, became Company A, Forty-ninth Regiment, Massa­ chusetts Volunteer Infantry. Under the com­ mon impression that the war would be one of but short duration, the men were enlisted for nine months only. Scarcely were they uni­ formed and armed before they were ordAvd to the front. The regiment, which at the time was under the command of Col. W. F. Bartion,’ Nineteenth Corps, ana participated in some of the hottest battles of the great rebel­ lion. years of age, and he refnembers vfcll with what a beating heart be first fell in line. His regiment was ordered South, directly through the enema’s country, with Halon Rouge as the objective point. After several months of weary marches, during which Company A Cied through several lively scrimmages with enemy constantly hovering about the flanks and rear, the capital city of Louisiana was reached. An evacuation followed. Citi sens and the rebel soldiery stationed in the city fled ' them what .V. Journal. Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, under CoL 1Charles F. Walcott. During the terra of his re-enlittment Sergeant Scace participated in isome or the hottest struggles of the war. Many .a gray-haired veteran to-day recalls the scenes >of Hatcher’s Run, the foil of Petersburg and the battle of Sailor's Creek. After his honorable discharge, June 4, 1M5. Mr. Scace returned to Albany and settled down once again to his business and social in­ terests- lie has resided in the city ever since, It would seem that now, of all times, his peace and happinem would have been uninterrupted. Such was not to lie the case, for four years ago, while engaged in superintending the rais­ ing of the immense smokestack of the Albany Electric power house, the lever of a loosened windla*« struck him a henry blow across the back. The effect of the blow was not at first apparent, he bring able to leave his bed in a few days. But the worst was to follow, for without warning he was seised with sciatic rheumatism in all iu virulence. Untold agony followed. • Said Mr. Scace. “ I could not sleep for the pain. No one will know the tortures the rheu­ matism gave me. I don’t know how 1 lived during those days. I became little more than skin and bones, and it seemed like life didn’t have anything nut suffering in it. Cures? I tried every so-called rheumatic cure that waa ever invented. I gave all of them a good trial before I stopped takigt them. My friends and neighbors recommended remedy after remedy that they heard of, but my rheuma­ tism went on just lhe same. Well, after I had almost had the life tortured out of me, I came across a newspaper account of Dr. W illiama’ Pink Pills, and I thought I might as well add another name to the list aa not, so I ordered some of mv druesisL ’* I tell you, I was glad in those days to hear of anything that could give me any hope at all. Yes, I got them, and be fore I had taken two bora that pain began to [eave me. Why, I couldn’t understand It. I couldn’t imagine myself being cured. But before I had taken a half-dozen of those boxes I war cured. The suffering which had made my life almost un­ bearable for so long had disappeared. I was a new man. “I began to get strong. I picked up in flesh, and I went back to my business with all the vigor and vim of a young man. I think everyone who knows me wifi tell you what it did for ma Pink Pills is the grandest medi­ cine ever discovered, and if my recommenda­ tion will do it any good I want you to use it. I hope others will near ef 1t and be benefited as I have been. Everyone should hear of it.

A strong argumcut is made for the abolition of the fee system. He says too much of the time of the Supreme Court is occupied by criminal appeals nnd suggests that such appeals lie disallowed, xnve in ca;»ital cases. The Attorney General hlso calls attention to what he regards aS the growing abuse of the writ of habeas corpus-nnd suggests that the allowance of a stay by the Supreme Court or one of its judges be required, at least on ap­ peals after the first.

William Washington, a, negro, has been arrested for complicity in the treas­ ury eanccled-stamp steal ami has made « confession which shows that the thefts had gone on for months. The stamps, he says, wore not taken from tho docuincnts at tho treasury building, but the papers were taken away in small quan­ tities to different houses where young girls, employed at from 40 to 50 cents n day, removed such of the stamps and signatures as seemed valuable, nnd then burned the papers. It is estimated that "Washington nnd Edwards, who was ar­ rested some days ago, have obtained from the flieroom of the treasury about 25,000 old papers and destroyed a con­ siderable number of them after removing the stamps. About 18.000 of the stamps have been recovered by the department. 8WI88 NATIONAL EXPOSITION. Finest Ever Seen.

There are still no tiding* from the -.nireing steamer Strathncvi*. which Jearid for Yokohama Oct. 12, and left Victoria the next day. She is now fifty-five days out from Tacoma. The Strathnevis made two trips on tbe Northern Pacific Xine. jhbo carried a cargo of 2,000 tons of gen­ eral freight and had a passenger list of 125 Chinese, most of lhem being mer­ chants from Chicago, New York, Buffxlo, Boston and Philadelphia. F*,~e deportjd Chinese from Washington and Montana were also on board. The Strathnevis was commanded^ by Capt. James Pattie, whose officers are as follows: Chief officer, James Duncan; second officer, W. Robcrtsonn; third officer,-W. McFar­ land; chief engineer, J. Rose; second en­ gineer, A. Bell; thin! engineer, J. Coul­ ter; fourth officer, J. Lore; purser, J. Mc­ Donald. With passengers and crew the number of persuns on board was about 150.

Dr. H. W. Thomas wants the Christian Endeavorrrs who prayed publicly in thou­ sands fur tbe conversion of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll to reconcile their action with this text. He read it to hi* congregation in McVicker’s Theater, Chicago, Sun­ day morning. He selected it from the Sermon on the-Mount, in his charity for the young people picking this verse and not the one before X, which brands those wbo use the corners of the streets and delight in the conspicuous worship as “hypocrites.” The one following brands those who delight in repetition* as "bv.itben." The pastor did not think the method employed at Cleveland wns or­ thodox or in accordance with the divine instructions ns to prayer. The chapter from which the passage was taken was a divine homily on supplication. It con­ tained the Lord’s prayer nnd wns deliv­ ered to tho multitudes collected from all over Syria that ’he value nnd efficacy of phnsized iu opposition to the Pharisaical ostentation of the idolaters.

The Senate plunged into real business Tuesday. Naturally the Frciddent’s mes-. sage attracted' the mala attention of tbo day, but-aside from this there were stir­ ring resolutions on the Monroe doctrine and the Cuban rebellion, and after that the usual deluge of bills and resolutions. The message was given the elosent atten-> tiou. At it* conclusion'Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, offered u resolution, vig­ orous in terms, reutrirminjc the principles of the Monroe doctrine mid presenting them in such form as to permit their en­ actment ns a (H-rmauent law rather than an expression of the j»olicy advocated by Pfrsidrat Monroe. In the same line was a resolution by Mr. Cullom, of Illinois, and another by Mr. Allen, uf Nebraska. There were 272 bills aud sixteen reso­ lutions introduced in the Senate alto­ gether, but a large majority of the bill* were reprints of measures which, failed to pass last session. Mauy of these, us also a large proportion of the new bills, were for private purposes. There were also several for the modification of thw pension laws. Senators Peffer, Stewart, and Squire reintroduced their bills of laat session pertaining to silver coinage. Sen­ ator Pettigrew introduced n bill to es­ tablish a uniform system of bankruptcy and reintroduced his bill of Inst session to prevent tho extermination of the fur­ bearing animals of Alaska. Senator Vest reintroduced bis IriH of last session to prohibit monopoly In the transportation of cattle to foreign countries, and al*» his bills for the compulsory education 08 Ifadian children and the settlement of pri­ vate hind claim*. Senator Chandler re­ introduced his bill for the exclroion oC alien anarchists and also his bill for tho regulation of immigration. Senator Frye introdncetl a bill providing for the amend­ ment of the tariff laws, so ns lo admit free of duty all material used in the con­ struction or equipment of vessels built In the United States. He also presented several other bills for tbe encouragement of American shipping and American ship­ building nnd general bills to amend tho taws relating to navigation and to pre­ vent discriminution against American trade. Among the targe number of bill* offered by Mr. Peffer (Pop.. Kan.) wero those fimiilng the President’s term to six years without re-election, rejiealing nil laws permitting the issuance of bonds, tbe limitation of the power of injunction. The Cuban situation received attention from both the Florida Senators. Thw Call resolution and the Monroe doctrinu will receive early attention. At tho brief executive session the noininatioua of Mr. Olney as Secretary of State and Mr. Tinrmon n« Attorney General were confirmed, and that of Rufus W. Peck­ ham to the Supreme bench‘ referred ty the Judiciary Committee. In the House a large number of bills nnd joint resolu­ tions were introduced, many of them measures that failed during the last ses­ sion. The session of the House wns, how­ ever. brief nnd consumed almost entirely by the reading of the President’s mes­ sage. This was listened t<> with fair at­ tention. but tho features of the document received do signs cither of approval or disapproval from the members until the conclusion of the rending, when screrni Democrats created n slight denmnsration. When it wns finished the Jloune immediately adjourned until Friday. The Senate worked Wednesday, but most of the bnsiness transacted was of a routine character. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution denouncing the recent atro­ cities in Turkey and assuring the execu­ tive branch of the cordial indorsement by Congress of n vigorous course for tho protection of American citizens in Tur­ key and the suppression of the barbari­ ties against Christianity. The first for-, mnl speech of the session wns made by Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, on Cuba and the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Allen urged the recognition of the Cuban insurgents, tho annexation of Cuba and a strong for­ eign policy. The influx of bills cc.rtinucd. Among them was one increasing all pensions granted under the act of 1890 to $12. The scssimv of the Senate was brief Thursday. Its only feature beyond tbe introduction of n hill hy Mr. Chandler for th- free coinage of silver when En­ gland. France and Germany enact sirn- ’ ilar legislation, nnd a resolution by hi* colleague, Mr. Gallingrr, declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that it wns unwise nnd inexpedient to retire tho greenbacks, was n short speech by Mr. Call iu favor of the recognition of tho Cuban revolutionists as belligerents. ■ Suspicion*.

MEN CALLED Tho proposed reorganization of ths army will come in for n share of atten­ tion. Thio uyannre differs from ths other in that it i» not supported unani­ mously by the officers affected. The cav­ alry officers think the reorganization pro­ posed by Secretary Lamont will do them great injustice. The Pacific Railroads Committee will have again the seemingly hopeless task of effecting an agreement for the reor­ ganization of the Pacific roads.

Tho older member haa much to say to old friends on the floor—reminiscences to exchange and regrjjts to express for the departed. But the beginning of the session is an old story to him. Perhaps he feels a momentary uneasiness about that committee chairmanship which wns half promised to him. but he keeps hia own counsel about it. He docs not get flurried, becamw be knows that it will do no good. He has put in all hia hard work in advance of the meeting of the caucus, and be knows nothing will help him now. Here, as In the Senate, the message receives but scant attention in tbe read­ ing. Moat of the members take tbchprinted copies into the committee rooms and read the document at leiaure then*.

A horse kills a snake by leaping up­ on it with all four feet kept together, so that the snake’s fangs can find noth­ ing but Ute horny hoof to strike into The knowledge of these apeclal tactics is a part of the instinct of all aniniala. A corrvsptradcoi of tbe Chicago Inter Ocean gives an Interesting description of a monkey's attack ou a deadly cobra in India. Tbe serpent was colled up on the. ground under a tree. The mon­ key sldwly left his perch in the forks ot tbe tree, and quietly, with great caution, moved downward until be had approached within about two feet of tho reptile. He looked like a solemn old man. cap­ tiously moving Iff* head from side to side, aa if closely Inspecting the object beforg him. Then he took a tinner bold of the tree with one arm. and wrapped his tall closely around tho truukA He reachinl forth hLs hand until It was within six or eight Inches of the snake, and then quickly withdrew IL I wns excited, and wondered if be knew the dangerous character of his adver­ sary. Was he playing unknowingly with death? The hand of the monkey again moved toward rhe venomous reptile. Was he going .to seize tbe creature? Sudden­ ly, like a lightning flash, the monkey grasped tbe cobra around tbe neck, ekftte to the head. In each a manner that it could not bite, while the snake's body encircled the monkey's anu. An astonishing scene followed. Tbe snake h!s«ed loudly; the monkey chat­ tered and screeched and danced and leaped in frftntic delight. He would stop bls wild contortions, and seriously examine tire snake's head and eyes and protruding tongue, and again grin and dance about. . After be bad had enough of this sport, he began to rub the bead of the serpent on the ha rd ground and continued to do thia, with repea to1 serious inspections of b!s work, until he had ruW»ed the head of the cobra entirely off. Then, with much gleeful chattering, he drop­ ped the mill writhing body, and scam­ pered away to Join Ms companions in a neighboring grove.

Here Is a remedy for burns, particu­ larly valuable for those who have charge of children. The,burned part Is to be bathed with common essence of peppermint, such as one mny pro­ cure nt any druggist's for n few cents. Belief is almost 1 mined lute, but tho bathlqg should be continued till tbe pain Is over. Chloroform Is useful fnr taking paint stains from black Bilks. Persistent rob­ bing Is necessary. Chloroform will also restore faded plush goods by »i>onging carefully. Ink stain* on white goods can be re­ moved by soaking in water nnd then covering the spots with pounded salts of lepton. Bleach In sun for half an hour, wash in suds, rinse and dry. Pink and blue ginglut ms of a wash­ able make can be kept from fading by washing In n weak solution of vinegar and water. Rinse In the same way and dry In the shade. Don't clean brass articles with acids. Use putty powder with swcit oil. Wash off with soapsuds, and then dry. This will Insure brightness. Moths will not eat cast Iron, observes Judge. Codfish will not make satisfactory English pigeoh pie. Oil rusty scholarships with a fresh solution of knowledge. The custom of Anting soup with tho fingers Is going Sut of vogue. Save steps by dropping them Into * small bank made for that purpose. Ice must be used for freezing les cream. Bolling water will not answer. It la waste of time to pnt coal on tbe furnace with sugar tongs. Try a shovel. To prevent children losing their mit­ tens or gloves whip them with a stout stick. A wash boiler should not be left In the drawlng-room-especially If guests are expected. A sleeping apartment cannot be suf­ ficiently ventilated by the windows In a neighbor’s house.

A News reporter has been busy this week making a trip through the busi­ ness places of Nashville and looking over their stocks of holiday goods. We find that the stocks are much larger and more varied than ever before, and that all the merchants are hustling, not only to eclipse all previous records, but to keep up and If possible to get ahead of their competitors. Nash­ ville is unquestionably one of the best holiday towns in the state, and her merchants have made it so by carry­ ing large stocks of holiday goods and putting the prices down to rock bot­ tom. A Our readers can gain some Idea of the results of our trip by a careful perusal of the following columns, but to comprehend the full beauty and magnitude ofa the displays it will be necessary for "you to make a little trip of your own. w.

Mr. Buel caters especially to the people who desire to put their money In use­ ful as well as beautiful goods. His stock of lamps, for Instance, Is one of the largest and finest in town: he has a tine line of glass ware, imitation cut glass, dinner sets, tea sets, cham­ ber sets, cigar sets, cups and saucers, fancy dishes, etc. The ten-cent dish counter is particularly attractive. An elegant line of new water sets. And in ‘tbe line of Christmas edibles there is no finer line in town.

When we stepped Into the Racket Store, we immediately realized how futile pen or pencil would be in en­ deavoring to portray a description of the thousands of beautiful things with which the store is crowded. It is a world’s fair of Christmas goods, comprising glove and handkerchief boxes, celluloid goods, Jewel cases, celluloid photo frames and easels, hand-embroidered doylies, handker­ chiefs, side and back combs, chains, rings, stick pins aud buckles, lace cur­ tains,ribbons and laces, toys in endless variety, and dolls and doll houses, and besides all these, an infinite array of practical articles fur every-day use. Some exceptional pretty things In china are also shown, in separate pieces and In sets. Doing It Justice with pen and ink is out of the question; you must see it for yourself, and you make a mistake if you don’t. Thelolly baker, with the expansive smile, is making ample preparations to supply a lot of people with good things for the holidays. His snow casesand windows show the largest and finest line of candles Io town, comprising hand-made creams, cara­ mels, chocolates, nut creamy, and down to the cheaper grades; oranges, bananac, dates, figs, etc., and a choice line of fancy groceries. Mr. Jones will also have for the holidays a fine stock of cakes, cookies, pies, etc., and fine bakery goods dr all descriptions. He can help you out In great shape on your Christmas dinner.

Brie*—Intcre*tins Incident* in the Career of Thia Republican Politician—He Get* the Office Without a PiBht. Foraker and'Family. Joseph Benson Foraker declared em­ phatically that be had gone out of poli­ tics for good when he wan defeated for the Ohio Governorship in 1889. but he is again to the front, and Will be the next United States Senator from the Buckeye State. Foraker Is such a last­ ing tighter. It never seemed to make any difference to him. until h'.s disas­ trous defeat of 1880, whether he won or Jost. Ho went on fighting just as enthu­ siastically in the latter as In the former Instance, and It is possible that even then he would not have giv"n up and declared himself permanently out had It not been that politics Is not a profita­ ble occupation, and he felt the neces­ sity of making money while he was young enough to do so. He has been practicing law now fur about six years, and it is understood that he has done very well. Foraker is not yet 50. He was born In'Ilainsboro. □.. in July. 1840. When he was 2 years old rhe family removed to a place about three miles from that village, nnd in the home thus establish­ ed young Ben. as he was called when a boy. passed his early years. He must have been a lad of strong characterlstics.^for when he was only 7 years old one Sam Newell, a neighbor of the Foraker family, predicted that “one of these days" Ben would l»e Governor of the State of Ohio. In 1885 this pre­ diction came true. Two years later be was re-elected to the gubernatorial chair. In 1889 he was renominated against his own better Judgment and defeated. As he ran unsuccessfully for the office in 1883, two years before bis first election, his candidacy In 1889 was the fourth. But the governorship was not the first -responsible place tilled by Mr. Foraker. He was admitted to the bar In 1SG0. when T3 years of age. of the war. at Fort Denison, ho was not 19 year* of age. Mr. Foraker tn 1870 married Mias Julia Bundy, daughter erf Hezekiah 8. Bundy, now OongreMnnan. And when Foraker goes tn Washington be will take with him his wife, one of rhe most charming women who have graced the capital city in tflatiy year*, aud three most beautiful daughters. The latter are aged respectively 21. 19 and 10 years. Mrs. Foraker is an exception ally Intelligent woman and Is very well Informed. Being deeply Interested in politics nnd well rented as to what is going on in the political world, she has been of very great assistance to her husband. Notwithstanding the inter­ est she Jakes In things of a nubile na­ ture, Mrs. Foraker is essentially a home woman and believes that a wife's and mother's greatest field «f labor is In the bosom of her family. Mrs. Foraker has a gift for architecture and planned throughout their beautiful home on Cross Lane street. Walnut Hills, a sub­ urb of Cincinnati. The house Is always a center of attraction, for young people particularly, and there are always’good music and good cheer. They are mem­ bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church aud Mrs. Foraker Is active In church work. WESTMINSTER ABBEY—AN HISTORIC Unwilling Bride*.

In a -recent number of a Mexican paper this story Is told: A wealthy Mexican gentleman and his wife were living upon their hacienda, a vast plan­ tation. Both were highly educated aud living In luxury: both spoke English, French an<T Spanish, ami had traveled extensively. From the adjacent city It was telephoned that a number of Amer­ ican tourists desired to come out and see the sugar mills at work. The Mex­ ican planter had his own horsecar line; he telephoned back a hospitable Invita­ tion, and sent out special rars to brlug the tourists. Thirty of them presently arrived, well-dressed, and apparently well-to-do. Without waiting to be ask­ ed, they at once entered the residence, ransacked the house, looked at the brio a-brac. went into the kitchen, lifted the lids off the pots and pans, and indulged In such remarks as "How can these people eat such filthy messes?” They even went so far as to enter the library, where the mistress of the house was writing, and one woman remarked, "How black she is; but she has fine hair, hasn't she?” and the whole party immediately felt of,her hair.

As I see many Inquiries about dorcr seeding. 1 will say that our most suc­ cessful way of late years has been to sow our eloverseed on fall-sown rye. as soon ns the hind Is in a lit condition to harrew. and then to sow the seed and harrow it twice over with a light, slanting harrow. This year we had a new experience, being left short of pas­ ture from the drouth of 1 803, anys a cor­ respondent of Hoard’s Dairyman. We turned fourteen sows, with one hun­ dred and eight pigs, on a thirteen- acre field of rye. which was seeded to clover, as above iudlcat«*d. when the rye first started. so as to Im* good pasture. We earned In eight cows from time to time; of course, we gave up nil hoiie. so far as the clover-seeding wag concerned, bnt to our surprise this fall we had the finest stand of clover. It seems that die tramping, aud iu addition, manure deposits, had the desired effect. but will add thnt the land is sandy land. We plowed four acres of this same lot June 20, and resowed It to rye in order to have new and fresh pasture; it grew Turkeys for Christmas are shut up Io a light, dry and roomy house the first week in Novcmlwr. soys a correspond ent of the Country Gentleman; troughs with as much maize and good barley as they can ent should.always be by them, and they should have two good meah a day of Just ns much barley meal.j mixed with flat milk as they can ent. | • and milk to drink.

It is found to be most important that the troughs be well cleaned out ever}’ ■morning, and all surplus food removed, for on a farm there nro usually plenty of other fowls to cat up what Is left by the turkeys. Foil In this way, they rap­ idly put on flesh, which Is usually very white In color aud flue in texture. In making gravy, always stir the flour Into a lump of butter, or the grease from the meat, taking care, if the latter is used, that there is no water left in it, or liquor from the meat. Whew tbe lumps are all stirred out. thin with cold water before adding boiling water or meat stock; this will prevent tbs formation of lumps, and do away with the necessity of straining. In making mush, stir the meal Into boiling salted water until it tldats and then stop. If thia rule Is carefully fol­ lowed, it will always be of the right consistency, and this Is, tbe only sura rule, as tbc meal varies so that no definite measure can be given.

Tobacco Stockholder* Want to Know About the ffnrplu*. The action of the directors of tbe to­ bacco trust, otherwise known aa the American Tobacco Company, In giving notice that they would pass tbe Febru­ ary dividend, may result in a sensational investigation, according to a New York dispatch. The stockholders are very anx­ ious for an explanation from the direc­ tors of what has become of the big sur­ plus of mor* than $8,000,000 and the ap­ parently sudden contraction of earnings which led the management to para the next quarterly dividend on the common slock, although the vague statement giv­ en out on Saturday distinctly stated that there would be a surplus of $1;250,000, or nearly 7 per cent., after paying the dividend on the preferred stock. Treas­ urer George Arents refuses to be Inter­ viewed. Mr. Arents is a member of the exchange and is reported to have said that the February dividend on the com­ mon stock of the company would be paid. Many brokers advised their clients of this fact. But now that the management has announced, savcral weeks before the regular time, that no such dividend would be paid the chief concern of the stock­ holders is to find out what is the matter with the company that so many stock­ holders should try to get out of it at once. The investigating committee which ia to be organized by Messrs. Holston and Bass and J. 8. Bache & Co. at nn early, meeting of the stockholders is deter­ mined to sift things to the bottom and find out whether this great company, with $30,000,000 of capital. Is being run in the interest of speculators, who sold out all their holdings at high prices and then went short of the stock, or whether the managers have allowed the revenues of the company to be wiped out by war­ fare with competitors.

The Beotia in executive ses­ sion confirmed the following nomina­ tions: Elmer B. Adams of Missouri to­ be district judge for the western district of Missouri; Rufus H. Peckham of NewYork to be associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. The House held a short session and devoted most of ita time to diKcusaiug the appointment of House officers. The firat business propo­ sition brought forward iu the House was a bill by Mr. Hopkins to amend the statute fixing the customs district of Chi­ cago so that the district would embraceall of the States of Illinois and Indiana.

The Senate wuh iu session less than two hours Tuesday. The proceedings consisted of the introduction of about 100 bills, followed by a Mieech on the Monroe doctrine by Senator Cullom. Representative Barrett of Massachusetts enjoys the distinction of being the author of the first •thrilling incident in the pres­ ent House of Representatives. He threw a bombshell into that body by offering n resolution Jmpenching Thomas F. Bay­ ard, United States ambassador to thecourt of St. James, for high crimes nnd misdemeanors, embodied in the utter­ ances of Mr. Bayard before the Edin­ burgh, Scotland, Philosophical Institute Nov. 7. In this speech, it is said. Mr. Bayard spoke of "protection" as a form of "state socialism" and said it had Hone more to "foster class legislation," “breed inequality,” "corrupt public life." “lower the tone of national representation.” "di­ vorce ethics from politics," than any other single cause. Mr. Barrett’s re*olntio» was: “Resolved, by tbe House of Rep­ resentatives. That the Committee on Foreign Affairs be directed to ascertain, whether such statement* have been pub­ licly made, nnd if so to report to the House si eh action by impeachment or otherwise ns shall be proper in the prem­ ises. Foratbe purpose of this inquiry the committee is authorized to send for per­ sons and papers." Upon motion of Mr. Cannon, the word* "by impeachment or otherwise" were stricken out, and the resolution adopted.

Mr. Cail addressed the Senate upon his resolution upon the cruelties alleged to be j>en>etraf-_ ed upon the Armenians by Turkish au­ thorities. He thought the United States should at toast express encouragement to the civilized power* in jhe effort they are making to suppress these outbursts of bigotry, superstition, cruelty nnd crime. The House listened to a sjx^ch by Mr. Grow. vx-Spenker, relative to Presklent Cleveland’s utterance concerning tariff and currency. Both houses adjourned to Monday. _____________ AVERAGE PRICE OF PRODUCE. What the Farmers Were Asking for Cron* the First of This Season. The December returns to the statistical division of the department of agriculture relate principally to farm prices Dec. 1. The farm price of corn averages 26.7 cents, against 45.6 last year. The aver­ age price of wheat is 5,3.2 cents per bush­ el. against 49.8 last year; of rye 43.7 cents, against 50.5; of oats 20.5 cent*, against ,32.9; of baric/ 35.4 cents, against 44.3; of buckwheat 49.2 cents, against 56.2 cents last year. The returns show the average price of hay to be $9.38 per ton. against $8.35 same date last year. The average price of tobacco is returned at 6.6 rents, against 6.7 cents last year. The pri<,-e of potatoes on tbe farm is re­ ported at 28.8 cents'per bushel, against 56.5 cents tost year. The condition of winter wheat Dec. I averaged for the country 81.4 per cent.. against 89 last year and 91.5 in 1893. In the principal winter wheat States the percentages are as follows: Ohio. 74; Michigan, 79: Indiana. 80; Illinois, 79; Missouri, 76; Kansas, 80; Nebraska. 90; California, 102. Tbe returns make the acreage of winter wheat just W»wn 104.6 percentage of that harvested in 1895.

The De Young nnd Lsnnati amendments were both defeated, nnd then, by a practically unanimous vote, the date was fixed at June 1$. Then came the main contest between the cities.

Hotel managers were kept busy all afternoon and evening answering tele­ grams from different part* of the coun­ try asking that nx»m* be reserved during the convention week. Speaker Reed and Major McKinley, Presidential posaibilitir«t, anticipating the committee's action, had already reserved quarters at the S«»uthern Hotel. wbe’-» their respective State delegation* will also be taken care of. J. EL Manley. Secretary of the Na­ tional Committee, telegraphed that rooms lie reserved for the committee at the same hotel. General Russell A. Alger, another po*-dbk* candidate for Presidential hon­ ora. has secured rooms at the Southern, which will also be the headquarters of the following State delegations: Michi­ gan. New Hampshire. Ohio, Maine, Colo­ rado. Illinois and Massachusetts. Melville E. Stone, general manager of tbe Associated Press, will make bis headquarters at the St. Nicholas Hotel, while the working force will be taken care of at lhe Planters' Hotel, handy both the telegraph companies. Already about half the available rooms in the first and secund ciass hotels have l>ren spoken for. but there ia still room enough left to rare for the crowds that will at­ tend the couvmtiou. burgh, in which Mr. BaYanl denounced the American protective policy a* foster­ ing class legislation and corruption in public life. Mr. Mct’all. also of Massa­ chusetts, made a still more bitter attack upon tbe ambassador. Ex-Speaker Crisp replied to Mr. Barrett in rather an ironical tone. The purpose of tbe resolution. he said, was evidently to give the gentleman on the other side something on which to nir their views on protection. He did think, he said, that any gentleman elected to a seat on the floor of the House believed that thia reso­ lution contained grounds for Imi>eachment. "If you impeach Mr. Bayun! for those words,” said the ex-Speaker. “you mast imjieaeh ■ majority of the American people."

Christmas services at the Congrega­ tional church Tuesday evening were enjoyed by a merry crowd of young and old alike. As stated in The News of last week the services consisted of a cantata by the young people, which was very beautifully rendered, aud every little detail was carried out and in a whole the evenings entertainment was a royal success. The.presents, which were mostly for the little ones, were profuse, nearly all sharing alike, and none went home feeling that they had been slighted. The manger erect­ ed for the reception of gifts to the poor, was not neglected and many were the good things placed therein by the kind hearted and sympathetic visitors. These present were distrib­ uted Christmas day to the needy of the town, one of the most commendaable features of the Christmas doings. Methodist. The Methodist Sunday school en­ joyed a Christmas tree Tuesday even­ ing, at the church, which was crowded with old and young. The services were under the generalship of Miss Daisy Phillips, and consisted of songs and recitations, which were all very pretty and suited to the occasion. After the program was finished, Santa Claus came bounding in? much to the de­ light of the little ones, who had been anxiously watching the heavily bur­ dened Christmas tree, and after sizing up the stacks -of presents, hardly knowing where to begin, commenced the distribution of the presents, aided by several pretty little damsels and a few “ugly boys.” There was plenty to go around and some to spare, and the little ones enjoyed an evening they will not soon forget. * BAPTIST. Christmas was observed at the Bap­ tist church in the usual manner. The handsome cedar tree Kindly donated by Mr. Purkey for the occasslon, was very tastefully decorated by a multi­ tude of presents, both useful and or­ namental. After a very pleasing pro­ gram of recitations interspersed with music, the little folks were made happy, and several of the older ones too, by the distribution of the gifts. There was nothing elaborate in the entertainment, but all seemed to have a pleasant time. al th* rrr’ H.YOUNG,M.

Such was the case on the above occa­ sion and all report a good time. While the many gifts, too numerous to mention, were presented to little and great, pastor not excepted, we also remembered the priceless gift Our Heavenly Father presented to us to gladen the hearts and happify the soul.

He did not Lite faculty of arous­ ing great enthusiasm in his followers. He was a student of human nature an well as of the current political history of bls country, and sought to put htmaelf before the people as the representa­ tive of popular principles rather tban as a personally popular leader. Illa in­ tuition pointed out the former aa tbe most enduring kind of popularity. He saw In the homestead law that was being agitated a bobby that would car­ ry him Into public favor, sad ho made the most of it. It was a moat fascinat­ ing -word-picture that be drew before bls assemble^! countrymen when ho told them he was In favor of the dlstribution of the public domain into homes thftt should be free to every American citizen. Then be told then! of a time when the humblest and poor­ est would have a home in tbe rich and fertile prairies of the West. where he could live surrounded by every comfort and convenience of bls life, his pockets filled with glittering gold shining through the silken meshes of bls wellfllled purse. Thus the name of Andrew Johnson became associated with tbe brightest dreams of the humble poor. When the wave of public opinion had placed him In the Senate of the United States, and when his Southern col­ leagues were breathing defiance to the Government In its capital, he stood firm and loyal, and this gave him the nom­ ination for Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Lincoln. It will be remember­ ed that extracts from bls speeches fur­ nished n large part of the political lit­ erature of the campaign of 1864. But history will carefully preserve the story of his struggle with poverty; how bls wlfe taught him the rudiments of edu­ cation after hb marriage; how be lived in an humble way. earning his daily bread by working at the tailor’s bench; how he became aiderman of his adopt­ ed village.

Andrew Johnson*was born in Raleigh. N. C., Dec. 29, 1808. His parents were very poor, and when he was but four years of age bls father died of injuries re­ ceived in saving another from drown­ ing. At the age of ten Andrew was JOBSSOS’S TAllMU SHOP. apprenticed to a tailor. A natural craving to learn was fostered by hear­ ing a gentleman read from the “Amer­ ican Speaker." The boy was taught the alphabet by fellow workmen, bor­ rowed a book and learned to read. At Greenville, Tenn., while working as a Journeyman he married Eliza MeCardle, a woman of refinement, wbo taught him to write, and read to him while be was at work during tbe day. It was not until he had been in Congress that be could write with. ease. The writer has often seen "The Great Commoner,” and beard him from tbe rostrum In joint debate with distin­ guished Whig orators before the war. Iu 1861. aoon after his great speech was made in the United States Senate, I heard him arraign the leaders of the rebellion before an audience of several thousand East Tennesoeans. While not a polwhed orator, be was logical aud earnest, aud impressed me as a man of great Intellectual strength aud person­ al cvwrage. ll« was a man of fine phy­ sical proportions, and always appeared grave and dignified.

Another star added to the flag of the nation! With alacrity the maiden State steps into lino aud answers to the call of number 45. The change in the national flag made necessary by the addition of Utah will not be aeompllshed until July 4 next year. After that dntp every Government flag will have forty-five spangles on its blue field. Already it has been determined just where in the field the new star is to be placed. There are six parallel rows of stars in the regulation flag, and Utah will take her position at tbe right-hand end of jhe fourth row. As has been said, Utah will occupy the space at the right-hand end of the fourth line from the top. Room is not needed for many more, inasmuch as the only territories remaining availa­ ble for future States are New Mexico, Oklahoma aud Arizona. In this ac­ count. however, no thought is taken of the great reservation known as Indian territory, from which the slice named Oklahoma was cut out. nor of Uncle Sam's vast Arctic province of Alaska. Without a doubt there will be a fur­ ther change In tbe arrangement of stars some day. A new star Is always added to tbe flag on the 4th day of July following the date of the State's admission. The act of Congress admitting Utah provides that the Preaident shall Issue a procla­ mation on tbe subject It is by no means necessary, however, that th<^ chief executive shall proclaim tbe birth of a new State in order that the latter may be recognized aS such In law. Con•ress has the power to admit a State of them being especially designated for the use’of blue jackets on shore, when they nre-sCrving ns troops for the time t>elug. Just at present a complete change Is being made In the flags of tbe nrmy. New designs for them nre be­ ing executed and some of these have not l>een finished yet. The patterns are being prepared by draughtsmen In the War Department, under the supervis­ ion of Secretary luimont. One novelty Is that In future each cavalry regiment will have one national flag. Hitherto that nnu of tbe service, strangely enough, has not possessed an edition of the Stars and Stripes. The War Department has already ad­ vertised for blds to furnish an entire outfit of flags on the new patterns for tbe army. Ti»ny will cost quite a big sum of money. For instance, a regi­ mental flag of silk cannot be Imught for less than $160. Tills Is much more 1 extensive than the regulation Stars and Stripes, for the national ensign in silk comes at about ?50 Spr the large size required. The Hags used in the army are of silk and of bunting; the former are employed In parades and In battle—there Is nothing too good for real fighting—while the bunting flags are for drills. MPT ALIVE BY^ OXYGEN. MHHoraire Belchllng Paid ga.JOOfiw His Last Week on Earth. Three hundred dollars a day tvs breath was what Francis Relchling, tbe millionaire mine owner, paid for the last seven days he lived. It was by the administration of oxy­ gen gas that Mr. Relchling was given a brief lease of life, and .while this treat­ ment is Dot absolutely new in theory, no effort to test It in practice to such an extent has heretofore been made. Through the grounds of Mr. Reich ling's beautiful home at Piedmont ran* a little mountain stream. While at work in Its vicinity the millionaire contraiced malaria. Congestion of the brain and pneumonia followed, and in their wake came valvular disease of tbe heart Half of the sick man's lungs became closed, and it was apparent that death must soMi follow from the lack of breath. Tbe dying man begged his physician to at least keep him alive until his eon, traveling in Mexico, could readj him. There was but one hope—that of giving the patient a supply of artificial air by menus of oxygen. This plan wan at once adopted. The doctor procured a tank containing 100 gallons of oxygen. At­ tached to this was a rubber tube with a mouthpiece. There were, two stop­ cocks—one at the rnoutli of the tube, the other at the point where the.tube joined the tank. Whenever It became evident that Mr. Rclchling was suffering from n want of breath he was required to inhale gas from the tank. The oxygen produced the same effect upon the blood and body as that resulting from ordinary breath­ ing. and immediate relief followed the Inhalation. The entire contents of the tank was consumed by the patient the first night—Saturday. On Sunday he absorbed 500 gallons, and the effect was visible on Monday In the mani­ fest Improvement of Ills condition. On that day tbe patient inhaled 800 gallons of oxygen. It was evident that the trAtraent was greatly reducing the pneumonia and re­ lieving the heart trouble. On Tuesday the amount of oxygen absorbed was re­ duced to GOO gallons. On Wednesday 400 gallons were Inhaled, and on Thursday only 300 gallons were admin­ istered. The following day the allow­ ance was 200 gallons. On Friday night, however, there came a great change for the worse. Paralysis, followed by apo­ plexy. was added to the other ills from which .the patient suffered. Three hun­ dred gallons of oxygen was Inhaled on Saturday, but proved of no avail. The pneumonia aud valvular heart trouble had been conquered by the administra­ tion of the oxygen, but Mr. Rclchllng’s enfeebled system was unable to with­ stand the complications, and death brought freedom from pain on Satur­ day night.' The wish of the patient's heart had been gratified, however, as the son for whose presence he longed arrived the Tuesday before bls death. Mr. Reich* ling was conscious and recognized the young man, although unable to speak to him. ■ While tank oxygen is frequently used to restore vitality, medical records show that it is expensive to keep death at a distance by a fee of $300 a day.—San Francisco Examiner.

MAY MEAN RED WAR. All Foreign Nations Must Keep , Out of Americas. Telia Contrrca* Thia Nation Should Bend a Commloion to Fix a Line Which John Ball Will Crdss st Hi* Peril. The message of President Cleveland to Congress transmitting the correspondence between Secretary Olney and Lord Sal­ isbury relative to the Venezuela boundary dispute created a real sensation in Wash­ ington. Although the nature of Secre­ tary Olney’s vigorous communication nnd of Lord Salisbury's answers had been already accurately foretold in the Asso­ ciated Tret* disimtehe* from Washing­ ton and I<ondon there wia still a great popular craving to learn just how the President would deal with Ix>nl Salis­ bury’s refusal to submit the matter io arbitration, and the message waa listened to with intense interest in Congress aud was read with avidity on the streets. Nowhere waa there a vclce lifted in dis­ sent from the doctrine ao firmly laid down by the President," but on the contrary there was gn Outburst of patriotic feeling that must hare been highly gratifying to the Chief Executive. In the dlipfificd' United .State* Senate, a body that rarely exhibits emotion on any occasion, there was witnessed the unparalleled spectacle or handclapping and agplause, which waa the spontaneous expression of the ap­ proval of almost every Senator without regard to party. On the streets the mes­ sage was discussed, and veterans of the late war talked exultantly of what they were prepared again to undertake at the call of their country. In the great hall of the Pension Building the employes gathered and sung with gusto “The Star Spangled Banner" and "My Country, *Tis of Thee." Great Britain declines to consent that the issue between herself and Venezuela shall |>c titled by arbitration. At the THE MONROE the justice of that code of law can find to be right and raliif.' ■ The Monroe doctrine finds ita recogni­ tion in those principles of international law which arc based upoo the theory that every nation shall Lave its rights pro­ tected and its just claims enforced. Of course this Government is entirely confident that under the sanction of this doctrine we have clear right* nnd un­ doubted claims. Nor is this ignored in the British-reply. This Governnwut pro­ posed to the Government of Great Brit­ ain a resort to arbitration as the proper means of nettling the question, to the end that a vexatious boundary dispute be­ tween the two contestant* might be de­ termined and our exact standing and rela­ tion in respect to the controversy might be made clear. It will be seen from the correspondence herewith submitted that this proposition has been declined by the British Govern­ ment, upon grounds-which under the cir­ cumstances seem to me to be far from satisfactory. The course to be pursued by this Gov­ ernment in view ot tbe present condition does not appear to admit of serious doubt. Great Britain's present proposition has never thus’ far been regarded as admissi­ ble by Venezuela, though any adjustment of the Iwjndory which that country mny deem for her advantage and may enter into of her own free will cannot of course be objected to by the United States. As­ suming, however, that the attitude of Venezuela will remain unchanged, tho dispute has reached such a stage as to make it now incumbent upon the United State* to take measures to determine with sufficient certainty for its justifica­ tion what is tbe true divisional line be­ tween the republic of Venezuela and British Guiana. I suggest that the Con­ gress make an adequate appropriation for the expenses of a commis'iion to be ap­ pointed by the Executive, who shall make the necessary investigation and report upon the matter with the least possible delay. When such report is made and accepted. It will, in my opinion, be the duty of the United States to resist by every means in its power, as a willful aggression up­ on Its rights and interests, the appro­ priation by Great Britain of any lands, or the exercise of governmental jurisdic­ tion over any territory Which, after in­ vestigation. we have determined of right belongs to Venezuela.

This is tbe essence of President Cleve­ land's message. After reviewing tbe early detail* of the controversy and referring to Salisbury’s disinclination to admit tbe force of the Monroe doctrine and resort to arbitration, the President says: Without attempting extended argu­ ments in reply to these positions it may not be amimi to suggest that the doctrine upon which we stand is strong and sound because its enforcement is important to our peace and safety as a nation, and is essential to the integrity of our free in­ stitutions and the tranquill maintenance of our distinctive form of government. It was intended to apply to every stage of our national life and cannot become ob­ solete while our republic endure*.

IMPUOVEMKXTS SEAB BOCK ISLAND. er river, as well as for obscure nnd not always necessary "Improvements," ap­ propriations for which hove l>een made from time to time for political reasons. Between St. ITiul and the Missouri river there nre two series of rapids which have always been serious obsta­ cles to the navigation of the Mississippi, at Bock Island and near the mouth of the Des Moines river nt Keokuk. At the latter place the rapids are so shal­ low as to absolutely prevent naviga­ tion In low water, nnd In 1869 a canal was begun, extending around tbe rap­ ids. which was completed tn 1876 at a cost of $4368.501. At Rock island, the seat of the Unit­ ed States arsenal, the work of remov­ ing rocks from the crooked channel and widening it to an average width of 200 feet was projected In 1860 apd com­ pleted twenty years later. This re­ sulted In dredging, blasting and remov­ ing 87,926 cubic yards of rock at a cost of $1,0011,630, nnd made It jweslblo for good sized packets to navigate the river. Experience demonstrated, how­ ever, that a 200-foot channel was not of sufficient width, owing to its tortuous nature in place*, to be perfectly safe for the larger floats, and later efforts have been making to widen it to 400 feet Aside from these special Improve­ ments, as suggested at the outset, there is t»elng carried out a broad and com­ prehensive system of general Improve­ ments. It has been fonnd by careful measure­ ments and estimates that by far the most/Prolific cause of sand and mud bars: shifting channels, snags, etc.. Is not from the tributaries, but from the crumbling banks of the river itself, which anmutUy devours and sweeji* down toward the sea hundreds of acre* of land mare or less good. Thia will be appreciated when It is known that In tbe 725 miles of the river’s course em­ braced In this district there are 33t) miles of crumbling banks. Manifestly, then, onwof the greatest aids to naviKaDod is the protection of these banks tn such a way as to preserve them Intact and prevent their washing. Nearly 190 mllea of shore protection has already been bull!, at stone and brush, and the good results arc already marked in the a barn*-: of thC forma thin of new ban* and the case with which the channel ran ba kept clear after having been once dredged, The unevenness of ths river bed, the channel ranging from thirty feet to twd fret In depth- In kiw water, is anutben obstacle to tutvlgation which has tot lie overcome. To this end. In the lows a system of spur and trailing] dams hxut been projected, extending out! from cither alt ere and narrowing tbul channel so na to raise tbe water nnd enable the heavier draft boats to float?

Lake Moral, In Switzerland, has a' queer habit of turning red about two oe three times every ten years. It Is q’ pretty take, like most of the sheets ot , water in that picturesque country, and its peculiar freak Is attributed to a dis-' position to celebrate the slaughter of Burgundians under Charles the Bold' on June 21, 14-76. But the French say^ that It blushes for tbe conduct of tho Swiss, who In that bat tie gave tbe Burd gundlans no quarter. This year it waM redder than ever, and had a sinister ap­ pearance when the setting sun Illuming ated Its waves. J This phenomenon, of course, has it^ legend. The okl fishermen of tbe lake,; who catch enormous fish called siluresl that weigh between twenty-five andl forty kilograms, say when tjiey see the) waters of the lake reddening that’It is the blood of the Burgundians. As a* matter of fact, some of the bodies ofi the Burgundians killed In the battle were thrown ln.to tbe lake, while others were tossed into a grave filled with* quicklime. Tills historical recollection' angered the Burgundians soldiers of the victorious armies of the repubHq In 1798 .so much that they destroyed the monument raised in honor of theW compatriots who fell heroically In that battle, nnd Henri Martin very justljj reproached them for that piece of van« daJism. * It would hardly do to attribute tho reddening of the waters of tbe lake td the blood of the soldiers of Charles tba Bold. The coloring Is due simply to thq presence In large quantities of littl^ aquatic plants railed by naturalists osclllatoria rubescens. The curious thing nl>out It is that Lake Morat Is, t!i*< only lake in which this curious growth Is developed, and this peculiarity Is be-' ginning to Interest scientific men.—New. York Sun.

We have all enjoyed a Christinas dinner iiv one way or the other. Some have eaten where all was plenty, while others could not afford a Ihing out of the ordinary every day meal and were thankful only that they could eat that meal. -Another year is on its way. Prepare for another' Christmas by saving your money now. Your,grocery bill in a year is pretty large and it stands you in hand to save on every item. The way to do that is to trade where; you know you are getting the best of Gro­ ceries at the lowest prices possible. The place to do that is at Frank McDerby’s. Why ? ? Did you ever consider how the Money Kings of the world amassed their fortunes? Do you know that they claim their mental ability is superior to yours? They say the masses are afraid to risk a few dollars and therefore, always remain poor, and strug­ gle for a lifetime to eke out an existence. Many People There are who form thelropinlon of Dry Goods from looks alone. They do not stop to consider the make and weave of tbe materials. Our stock of Dry Goods is beyond criticism in both these particulars. The best goods means fewer purchases. Therefore you are well paid for trading with us.

There was a panic in tho New York otock market Friday. Tho Presideiit’s special message to Congress on the Vene­ zuela affair had the effect of frightening the foreign Investors—especially J he Engiish—in American securities. Before tho Eastern markets opened cables from Ixmdon evinced that there was n semi­ panic in the.Americdn department on the British Bourae. Stocks and bonds were thrown on the market regardless of tho suormoua evneeasions. At the dose of the exchangC"in Chapel court the “Yan­ kees” were thoroughly subverted. The general list fell from 2 to.6 paints below the fingl New York quotations. In Wall street the effect of London's closing fig­ ure* was simply demoralizing. The im­ portant and active properties opened all the way from 1 to 3 points off and up to noon continued to fall. Each *u«iec<sivo cable Indicated still lower figures, and it was finally reported that many “jobtwrs” su the London Stock Exchange had refuBcd to accept orders. The unfavorable news was coincident with preparation* ky the gold-shipping houses tor Saturday'* exports to Europe. .The Initial trading was highly sensational, tfnd declines were made all along the line, extending to 1’6 per cent. A sinister feature was an ad­ vance in rates’ tor cull money to 75 i>er rent., collecting the calling of .loans. Three failures were ^ported on the New York Stock Exchange nnd due ->n the Consolidated Exchange. Only one, that of 8. 8. Sands & Co., was of financial Importance. The railway and iniHCcIluDeous bond market was also demoralized, declines ranging up to 15 per cent. It wa* rumored that a single house had finmix-d *400,000 of Heading bonds on the market.

After Mrs. Stanford was assessed *15,000,000, Mr. Hunting­ ton was to be proceeded against nnd then the estates of Hopkins and Crocker were to be similarly favored. On tho hearing of the case in California, however, the fact was developed that ;he Jaw under which these people were to be hehl was not enacted by the CabfornU Legislature until three years after th-) organization of the Central Pacific Company.

The House passed a bill authorizing the President to appoint a Venezuelan commission and appropriating *100.000 for expense*. The Bcnate did not take up the Venezuelan dispute directly, but Senator Chandler introduced a bill “to strengthen the military armament." It directs the President to strengthen the military force of the United State* by adding 1.000,000 infantry rifles, >1.000 guns for field artillery, and not exceeding 5,000 heavy guns for fortifications.

Leaders of all shades of domestic difference in Congress agreed as one man in supporting the President. It has been the taunt of the British press and the belief of the anti-American public abroad that in the assertion of the Monroe doctrine at this time the President was “playing politics." It will shortly be apparent abroad that in support of the right of Americans to role America there are no parlies in the United State*. This, U r nation.

"The cash balance in the treasury on the first day of December. 1895," he says, "was $177,406,386, being $98,072,42U in excess of the actual gold reserve on that day. nnd $77,40C».38G in excess of any sum that it would be necessary to use for replenishing that fund in case the Secretary should at any time be able to exchange currency for gold. There is, lherefore. no reason to doubt the abil­ ity of the Government to discharge all its current obligations during the present fiscal year and have a large cash balance at its close, without imposing additional taxation in any form upon the people, but 1 adhere to the opinion, heretofore expressed, that the Secretary of the Treasury ought always to havo authority to issue find sell, or use in the payment of cxfioiises. short-time bonds bearing a low rate of interest, to supply casual de­ ficiencies in the revenue. Figures on a Surplus. “With complete return to the normal business conditions of the country and a proper legislative nnd executive super­ vision over expenditures, the revenue laws now in force will, in my opinion, yield ample means for the support of the public service upon the basis now estab­ lished; and upon the assumption, which seema to be justified, that the progress now being made toward the restoration of our usual state of prosperity will con­ tinue without serious interruption, it is estimated that there will be a surplus of nearly $7,000,000 during the. fiscal year 1S1)7. During the fiscal years 1894 and 1895 the ordinary expenditures of the Government have been decreased $27,­ 282,1156.20, as compared with the fiscal year 1893. and it te believed that with the co-operation of Congress further re­ duction can l»e made in the future without impairing the efficiency of the public ser­ vice.” Continuing he says: , “The inrge with­ drawals of gold in December, 18!M. &nd in January nnd the early part of February, 1895, wore due almost entirely to a feel­ ing of apprehension in tbe public mind, which increased in intensity from day to day until it nearly reached tho propor­ tions of.u 'panic, nnd it was evident to nil -who were familiar with tho situation that, unless effectual steps were prompt­ ly taken to check the growing distrust, the Government would be compelled with­ in a few days to suspend gold payments and drop to a depreciated silver and paper standard. More than $43,000,000 jf the amount withdrawn during the brief period last mentioned was not de­ manded for export but was taken out by people who had become alarmed on ac­ count of the critical condition of the treas­ ury in its relations to the currency of the country. The purchase of 3.300.000 ounce* of gold followed." The beneficial effects of this transaction, the Secretary says, were felt immediately not ooly in this country, but in every other haring rvmmervial relations with ut "C<ujflilence iu our securities whs A once re­ stored. The safety of tbe existing situa­ tion te, however, constantly menaced, and >ur further progress toward a complete restoration of confidence and prosperity is seriously impeded, by the defects Iu our currency laws and the doubt and “uncer­ tainty still prevailing iu the. public mind, •nd especially abroad? concerning tbe fu­ ture monetary policy of the Government." The Secretary believes that there never has been a time since the done of the war when the gradual retirement and cancel­ lation of the United State* notes would not have been a benefit to the country, nor when the issue of additional notes of tbe same character would not hare been injurious to the country.

Two crudely constructed infernal ma­ chines were mailed .in Chicago Monday morning to George M. Pullman nnd Philip D. Armour. They did not reach the des­ tinations tho sender of them Intended, but were taken possession of by Capt. Stuart, of the Postal Secret Service. Capt. Stuart nlao has in his charge 8. A; Owens, who says he heard two men talk­ ing of their scheme to kill Pullman nnd Armour, nnd almost ran his legs off Sun­ day night to warn them of tho fate In store for them. The deadly character of the machines wan demonstrated by an.examination of their contents and by igniting some of the powder removed from them, as well as a part of the fuse which completed tbe mechanism of a contrivance so arranged that the removal of the lids of the boxes which composed the outer casings of the devices would result in the Ignition of tho powder and the fuse which was trained into a lend pipe. The package addressed to Mr. Armour was unwrapped carefully. When tbe paper had bern removed St was found to contain a thin box about 0 inches long, l^A inches wfrte and Ity inches deep. It was made of wWl taken from a cigar box. Tho three sides had been nailed together, but on top there was a sliding lid. It had been made rather rudely, the lid especially being roughly shaped and working badly. Inside wan a piece of lead pipe three-quarters of nn inch in diameter nnd as long an the inte­ rior length of^thc boXx Both ends of tho lead pipe were plugged with corks. All around this pipe nnd completely filling the box was black, coarse powder, as n match applied easily proved it to be. There was a hole in the side of the lead pipe, and in thia was fastened n piece of fuse three inches long. On the under aide of the sliding Hd was glued n piece of sandpaper. Covering the powder in­ side was nn other piece of sandpaper, with tiie rough side turned upward. Be­ tween the two sandpaper surfaces tho heads of a number of parlor matches had been placed, with more powder scattered' in between. The whole machine was fastened so tlint if the sliding lid had been moved ns much ns one-fourth of an inch one of tho matches must have become ignited by the grinding sandpaper surfaces. No matter what was contained inside tho piece of lead pipe, a quarter of a pound of gunpswder must have been exploded, and exjierta say that alone would havo done considerable damage to_ the person drawing the lid. Both machines were constructed upon the same principle. ANTLER'S LOCKED IN gone out for some time, anyway. Any thief c.ui open the ordinary hotel room floor with a skeleton key.
