The men were working at the bottom of a blast furnace. When tbe ga* exploded, it forced tbe hot slag, which accumulates in tho cupola, over the sides. Before the men could got out of the way, the hot metal poured out over them. Bowmnn was bndly burned all over tbe body, and the rest sustained se­ ver* injuries about their faces and hands. Two Killed, Bcvea Hurt. Two men were killed, five .others so badly Injured they mny die, and two others seriouoly hurt by a premature ex­ plosion of dynamite Monday on Sec. 14 of tbe Chicago drainage canal. All tbe victims of the disaster were laborers un­ der the foreman ship of Richard Powers. According to the statement* of drainage canal employe* tbe gang had just com­ pleted a drilling and had filled sixteen holes of the blast with 250 pound* of dynamite. Investigation indicated the ac­ cident wns due to the carelessness or mis­ fortune of John Bowen, a workman, whose duty it was to explode the blasts. Bowen had prepared for a blast by plac­ ing the electrical machine used in ex­ ploding the dynamite in the bed of tho ditch. To test the’machlne he then insert­ ed an explosive cap and turned awny for a moment. Coming back be pulled tho lover and there wn* a terrific explosion. One after another the charges of dyna­ mite placed along the face of the rock blew up with reports distinctly heard at Joliet, seven mile* away. The laborer* were in a frenzy nt the killing nnd mnngling of their comrades nnd, it is said, started after Bowen with tbe avowed intention of wrenking vengeance on him. He was arrested by tbe drain­ age police before the mob caught him, however, and locked up.

Although there was the brilliant setting that usually accompanies a field day in the house, the debn to lacked much of the spirit and vim which generally charac­ terizes a partisan battle in the lower branch of Congress. Evon the prelimin­ ary skirmish over fhe adoption of the rule, which ordinarily precipitates the fiercest wrangling, passed off quietly. The debate itself wn* participated In by the leaders on both side*. The Republicans contended that the first necessity of the MAIN STREET IN treasury was revenue to supply tbe con­ tinued deficiency. Every speaker denied that the proposed measure was a Repub­ lican protection bilk It wa*. they ckiimed, an emergency revenue bill on protec­ tive line*. The Democrat* took the posi­ tion that there was n# lack of revenue in the treasury, and that the passage of a bill to increase taxation would in nowise help the situation nor furnish the relief deidred by the Freiddent and Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Dingley and Mr. Dolliver of the Republicans nnd Mr. Crisp and Mr. Turner of the Democrat* carried off the honors. The bill passed repeal* tbe present tariff law until Aug. 1. 1898. Except for a few articles it is the antipodes of OoL Morrison’* famous "horizontal" bill. His wns a straight 20 per cent, ad valorem cut. Thi* is a horizontal raise. The du­ ties on all the articles in all the schedule* except those covering wool and woolens, sugar, and wood "and wooden manufac­ ture^ are advanced 15 pdr cent. This I* subject to the condition that in no case must the duties exceed-those collet-led under the McKinley law. Sugar is left as it is, at 40 per cent ad valorem. Raw wool is required to pay a duty equivalent to 00 ]>er cent, of that impotted by the Mc­ Kinley law. Most woolen manufacture* are required to pay CO per cent, of the specific duties of the old law, but car­ pet* will have to pay tbe specific duty of the old law In addition to the ad valorem duty of the present one. Imported lum­ ber is taken off the free list nnd required to pay 00 per cent, ot the McKinley du­ ties. Lumber and wool are the only free list article* which are made dutiable. Therefore salt and a number of agricul­ tural product* nre not affected by Thurs­ day's legislatidu. When the bill wa* put upon it* passage it wa* passed 205 to 81, the vote being taken by yea* and nay*. There was no demonstration of any kind on tbe announcement of the vote.

Tbe grant majority of tbe mines are nothing mure than green goods speculation* with holes in tho ground, with nothing in the hole* but paid-for press clipping*.

One New York paper ba* boomed the erase to the extent of .predicting the rise in value* of this mining stock, for the obvious purpose of inducing Eastern investments. Tbe chance to swindle the public in the name of the Cripple Creek mining field waa foreseen by those haring tbe true intereata of tbe region most at heart. In a bro­ chure issued by reputable business men of Colorado Springs a* long ngo ns last April the following warning wa* given: “Incalculable injury is inflicted upon mining regions of proven merit by the floating of wildcat companies, and adver­ tising their lie* on a magnificent scale. "The greater the merit of a district the more widely thi* sort of thing i* success­ fully carried on.

"In a word, and in conclqtedn, do not purchase the shares of any company with­ out first investigating, for there \i nothing so good that it will not keep long enough for this to be done." Many of the mines of the Cripple Creek country which are capitalized nt from’ $500,000 to $3,OUO.OOO have never paid 10 cents profit rince the first spadeful of earth waa turned up where they nre lo­ cated, and thert? is no reason to suppose they ever will. There is a saying in Col­ orado that “for every dollar in gobi or sil­ ver taken out of the ground $1.50 or $2 I* put into it. This does not mean, of CRIPPLE . CREEK. course, that there nre no paying mines in that country—there nre many of them— but it does uicnn that more money is spent annually in mining oiwratton* than i* taken out in ore throughout the State. Ninety-nine out of every hundred men in the East who put money into Western gold or silver mining projects have simply paid the expenses for developing prospect-holca, which ultimately proved val­ ueless.

Thia, iu view of comparatively mod•cate exports of wheat and flour thus far staring the cereal year, continues to per­ petuate the dominance of bear influences in the world's wheat markets. Some of ortr optimistic foreign friends are seen now inclined to think the wheat stop -here may amount to 475.300.000 Imtdxds, as against 320.000.000 bushels iaxt year. Canada comes out with an es­ timated increase of about 10,000,030 bushels, nnd Argentina is now expected to show 80.000,000 bushels, although only « month or two ngo 03,000,000 bushels was accounted a high cstimntc, the out­ put last, year having IH*en rather under 1*8,000.000 bushels.

John Wannmnker is the man who brought nbout the settlement, aucceeding where nil others failed. He was aided in the work by members of the Christian tongue. The-basis of settlement follows: First—While the Union Traction Com­ j pany will only tre at with the workmen in i its employ, it will allow them member­ ship in any lawful organization; second, it will take up nil grievances nml give them full nnd fair eonsiderntiun; third, it will, m» far ax it has vacant place®, im­ ' mediately put on the old men. cud ns fast, as vacancies arise will give preference to the old me,-, yet unemployed, nnd cn<l<-avor tn arrange the trips of (he cars to fnvor the old mon ns far ax possible with­ out violating its contracts with the new men.

The battle has mainly been fought on the question of tin- employes' member­ ship in the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes, which tbe com­ pany has persistently refused to recognize. The now men engaged since the strike be­ gan number nearly 1.000. There were about 5.030 strikers. Wnnnmnker sub­ mitted the Ideas embraced in the settle­ ment to1 the strikers.

Then, let us look at the other side: The wfiolc world Is dependent upon us for its food. We arc the keystone of the arch, or rather the foundation, and when we cause a field of wheat to be where, without our work, there would be only weeds, it docs not mean merely so many bushels of wheat, but bread for people who, without us, would go hungry.

There is. moreover, a system of conscriplion organized by law that is supposed to be carried out in every part of the empire. It is based cm the miUtnry system of Ger­ many, for since the last Turco-Russian war tbe army of the Porte has been en­ tirely reorganized by German officers, who naturally adopted tbe plan prevailing in their own country, and with which they were most familiar. The military system consists of the Nizam, or regular nrmy, two dasici of Rc-difs, or Landwehr. nnd the Mustnfiz. answering to the , l„-.nd»turm of Prussia. At the annual conscription lhe ranks of the regular army nre supposed tu he filled by the men of the levy, who must serve six years with the regular tinny and first reserve. They then pass into the Becond reserve, to be called out only on emergencies.

They are brave turies after they-ought to die. The Greek empire nt Constantinople lived for five centuries after its territory had been reduced to the region immediately sur­ rounding that city, and it is not at all impossible that the Ottoman empire may _!Xpt follow its example, and it probably will iinicss the powers show more unan­ imity in regard to di*i»o*ing of Its estate. But those who suppose that Turkey will fall an easy prey to the rest of Europe are teckoning without their host, for. lazy and degenerate us they are, the Turks are marvelous fighter*. and when their fanaticism is rouse,!, they show a degree of military aggressiveness that has more than once dumfontuled their opponents. During the last three centuries they bare waged a dozen wars with surrounding powers, and, on each occasion, their op­ ponents were forced to confess that, hndthe Moslems been properly commanded, the result would hnve been extremely doubtful. Their weakness has always been the miraculous stupidity of the Ot­ toman generals. Whenever they have been led by trained oflierrs of other na­ tions than their own. their record has been good. It has always been dear of cow­ ardice. Their fatalistic creed makes them strangers to fear: to them every­ thing is "Kismet,’’ or fate: and if com­ manded to go forward to attack a battery, where certain death seems to await every assailant, they neither hesitate nor falter, considering that, if it is their fate to be killed at such a timo and place, there is no use trying to avoid it. Besides this, they are a hardy race, capable of enduring A Nation of Foldier* with firninlemi great fatigue and hardship without break­ ing down, of marching long distances tkw. is a soldier, are invaluable.

How Indian* front the West Were Mystified ttjr the Telephone. Maj. Pollock, who was sU|>erintendent of free delivery in the postoffice department under the last adndulstration, wns for some time stationed on the frontier as au Indian agent, and was well and favorably known to many of the principal chiefs among the rod men. Whenever they sent dele­ gates to Washington to have a pow­ wow with t'ao great father, the Major’s office was sure to lie visited by them, and they came sometimes In crowds. On one occasion, while tlie Indians were making a call on the Major, lie went to the telephone, in another room, nml called up tlie Indian office. When his call wns answered he said: . "Tell Frank to come to the ’phone." ^•’nink was a half-breed, employed In tlie Indian office. “Hello! Frank." said tlie Major. “Hold the 'phone a minute. Your un­ cle is here and wauts to talk with you.” Then he went Into his office and led one of the chiefs to the telephone. "Want to talk to Frank?" said tlie Major, placing the transmitter In die ehiero band. After many grunts and suspicious glances at the mysterious contrivance, the little ear trumpet was finally held to tlie Chief's ear. and the Major said: "Now, go ahead, Frank.” A grin spread over the Indian's fare, and lie dropped the transmitter. After trying in vain to look behind tbe In­ strument. he stuck ids head out of the window and looked around. Then, with a is-wildered look he ran to the door and looked up and down the corrlijor. Tlie Major explained to him that Frank was up town in another build­ ing. but the Chief wasn't couvinceil. and called another Indian. While the second Indian was listening the first chief watched the Major’s lips closely, evidently suspecting some trick of ventrlloquisiu. ' “Cgh!” grunted the second chief, as lie dropfsMi tbe transmitter and looked under ft desk and out of a window. Tbe Major couldn’t satisfactorily ex­ plain the mutter to the chiefs, and finally was forced to put on his hat nnd t^ke them over lo the Indian office, where they found Frank at the 'phone, waiting for more "talk."—Washington Star.

Williams, The Hyden boys, of Kalamo, drove to town Saturday a little “skeeter” of a horse hitched to a democrat wagon uf prehistoric origin. As thye were driving out upon Main St., in front, of McDonald's snoe store, one whe ■' of the wagon ran off. This scared the mustang and he took It into his bead to run away. The boys each grabbed a rein and held on, but the “tang” wasn’t to be stopped and a sudden jolt of the three-wheeled rig in f<ont of Hicks’ blacksmith shop, pitched the boys out upon the hard-frozen road­ bed. The boys nicked themselves up in time to see the nag stringing the wagon out like a skein of yarn around a lamp post In front of the Wolcott House. He finally got away from the post with parts of the wreck clinging to him, and scampered onto tbe va­ cant lot just south of Strlngbam’s store, where he got tangled up and fell in a heap. He was gathered up, but was covered with cute and bruises. The boys sewn came limping upon the scene and took the nag in charge, and the two limped home. There isn’t enough of wagon left to gather up and and save. The days are lengthening out, forr which we are truly grateful. This’ business of going to bed before you get“ up Is all right for a while, but It don’t' give a person much /time for anything> else. . C. L.

Tits men continued to fire, aud as Dcverea did not make hix-appearancc th-y applied the torch to the house. The -blivkcned and disfigured corpwcs of the victims were found in the ruins of the woman's home the next day. The traf^dy was one of the nlost brutal ever ehactcd.

Dr. Edson In a rejoinder to Mr. Speed write?: I must quite agree with Mr. Speed In bls condemnation of the pota­ to. I am sorry to have to say anything against the hum Ide tuber, but the truth, especially when It is scientific, and more especially tnedico-se’en’.Hic, must be told. It is certain no one can at all times eat the potato with the assurance that It,will do him no harm. • • • The practice of feeding iwtatoes to In­ fants and young children cannot be too severely condemned. A potato diet may not kill them outright at once, but it is certain to injure their digestive organs permanently and effectually, so as to make their lives a burden to themselves and those wlio are brought In contact with them. Dr. Edson also contends that the potato lx very defi­ cient in nutritive qualities, and liaa less value as an article of food than most other vegetables and cereals.

Things Found in Amber. In many uiuwuinx may be seen in the most perfect state of preserratluu In amber fossilized remains of plants nml aultunl.u. The science of Egypt Ln Its highest development did not suc­ ceed In discovering a method of em­ balming so perfect as the simple pro­ cess taking place In nature. A tree ex­ cludes a gummy, resinous matter in a liquid state. Au ,Insect accidentally lights In It and is caught. The exuda­ tion continues and envelops it com­ pletely. preserving tbe most minute de­ tails of its structure. In the course of time the resin becomes a fossil and is known ns amber. The history of fossil insects Is largely indebted to the fly In amber. And to the preserving propcrties of amber we owe, likewise, our knowledge of some of the more minute details of ancient plant structure. The coasts of the Baltic nre. and have l>eeu from the days of tlte Phoenician traders, the great source of the amber of commerce. Tt oceura tn rolled frag­ ments iu strata known to geologists as ollgpcene. These are tertiary ’rocks of a date little more recent than those of the London basin, and equivalent to the younger-tertiary series of tbc Isle of Wight. The fragments of fossil ream were washed down by the rivers from the pine forests of tbe district along with sediments and vegetable debris. In them are found most perfectly pre­ served remains of the period, as well ns ot insect life. Fragments of twigs, buds and flowers, with sepal*, petals, stamens aud pistils still In place, oc­ cur.

And beside the insect and plant remains thus scaled up in amber stray relics of the higher fauna or the forest bare also been met with.

The Money Xt Ha* Brought Into the Eohih in Nineteen Year*. -A study of the crop figure* will show that seven years successively Increas­ ing crofts from lfW5-G to 18IH-2 went unprecedented In tbe history of trade. It is doubtful if any leading crop raised, can show such an unbroken increase for seven years. Jumping from 5,700.GOO bales in 1883-fi, there wns practically uo halt lug until 185)1-2, when the yirltl was D.U35.000 bnlex-tt gain of .*UHM,fNM> bak*s, or nearly GO per cent, advance in seven years. In nineteen years cotton has brought the South over $it.<M)G.OOO.O<io—a sum so vast thn.t the profits out of It ought to lutve Ixx'u enough to greatly’ enrich that section. Unfortunately, however, the system necessitated by the condi­ tions prevailing Immediately after tho war. of mixing cotton only nud buying provision* and grain in the West, left but little, if any, surplus money out of the cotton crop. The Wext and North drained that section of several hundred million dollah* every year, because It depended upon them for all of its man­ ufactured goods, as well ax for the bulk of its food stuff*. Hence, of tho enormous amount re­ ceived from cotton, very little remained in the South. tneretao in the di­ versification of farm profits. Hie raising of home supplies, the development of trucking anti the building of factories nre all uniiing to keep at home tin? money which formerly went North aud West. Whether the cotton raiser him­ self be getting the full Itcnefit of this or not, the South at large lx necessarily doing so. Tin* Increase in the Atten­ tion given to grain cultivation Is lllns4rated by tbe fact that the South’s grain crop of 18D4 wns 011,000,000 bushels, valued at Jski2.<MX),000. or more than tho value of its entin- cotton crop, and the yield for 1805 will probably exceed these figures by at least 50,000,ODO bushels. The Importance of cotton in our for­ eign trade relations can lie realized from the simple statement tlsat since ■ 1875 our cxiKjrts of this staple have ag­ gregated in value $4,000,000,000. while the total exjjortx of wheat and flour combined for the same period have been nbout $2,<MS).tXM).fHM), showing a differ­ ence of fl.400,000.000, or over 50 per cent. In favor of cotton.

Powles, for many years a resident of Nashv!lle.and for the past few years of Chicago, diedin thatclty last Thursday night, January 2d. The remains were brought to Nashville Monday and taken to tbe home of Mr. and Mrs.C. M. Putnam, and the fun­ eral was held Tuesday forenoon from tbe M. E. church; Rev. Arthur Trott officiating. The remains were interred in the Nashville cemetery, and were followed to tbe grave by a large num­ ber of people. Mrs. Powles was In good health and had known but little sickness up to a few hours before her death. And Thursday morning, in company with her daughter, Mrs. J. D. Burgman, who was visiting In Chicago at that time, went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Finnan, of that city, to spend the day. They took a street car for home at about half past nine in the evening. They had to change from the car they were on to another line, and -when they had alighted from the car a cold, fierce gale was blowing In their face, and they had to walk a block or two to take another car. They walked quite fast to catch the flrst car, and had proceeded but a little distance when Mrs. Powles put her hands to her waist and said “wait a minute, my breath is falling me.” She began to feel weak, and they slowly walked to a near-by drug store. They stepped In here where Mrs. Pow­ les was assisted to a chair. Tbe drug­ gist administered a few drugs, think­ ing that she had asthma: something unknown to her. She gradually grew worse, and a lady and gentleman, who Just came in tbe store as Mrs. Powles did, said that she. could be taken to their home, which was near by. A hack was called and the fast falling woihan taken to the people’s home. They immediately summoned their family physician, and when he arrived be said there was no-hopes of her re­ covery, as the cold air so suddenly drawn into her lungs had closed the tissues and the heart acting In symSatbywas fast snuffing out her life. he was conscious until the last mo­ ment, only about two hours from the time she alighted from the cat. Tbc remains were never taken back home, but as soon as arrangements could be made, were brought to Nashyllle, where her old friends nearly all reside. Her maiden name was Adilade Archey, and was born In Huron county, Ohio, November 6th, 1845. She was married to J. W. Powles iu 1859 and came from Maumee City to Castleton township In 1867, and they had lived in Nashville and vicinity 26 years. They moved to Chicago In 1892. She leaves a husband, son, daughter aud a host of friends to mourn her demise. The following item, clipped from the Detroit Free Press of Wednesday morning, will possibly be of consider­ able interest to the larger number of cur readers, especially those living in Nashville and vicinity, who are acquainted with the people referred to below: Ute Alpwna T.

We visited Agent Hulllager at the depot, Tuesday afternoon, just after he and Clyde White.the baggageman, had fl oi.-died scrubbing out Che office, washing the windows and making a general cleanup, and they were both willing to take a rest and look up a few matters relative to railroad busi­ ness at this station, which we thought may be of interest to our readers this week. H6 informed us that the ticket sales for December, 1895, amounted to $382.75, a falling off uf over C200.00 of that of the same month of 1894, which amounted to <507.05. The freight earnings for December, 1896, amounted to SI.208.70; there being, during the above month, 1,214,702 pounds of freight handled at this station, of which 639.384 was received and 575.­ 318 forwarded. This is a falling off from freight forwarded for the same month In 1894, which la due principally to tbe hay crcp of the past year, as car load after car load of hay and straw left- here tn 1894, while this year hav is an unknown article at the depot. What seems most surprising is the number of car loads of various things forwarded from this station tn the past year. All amounting to 458 cars; averaging each car at'32 feet in length and allowing two teet for bump­ er space between cars, this would make a train of cars 15,560 feet long, reach­ ing a distance of nearly three miles. The above figures may not seem* large for a city of greater size than ours, or where there are many manu­ facturing institutions making and shipping cumbersome articles; but it shows remarkably well for a town the size of Nashyllle, and with no larger number of manufactories that we boast of, and then It hasn't been much of a year either. NEWLY Possibly Morgan would be a rich field . for ministerial labors, judging from the story we bear from our neighbor­ ing hamlet. Report comes to us that last Sunday while Sunday school was in pn*greM In the Free Methodist church.two young fellows of pugilistic dispositions got Into an altercation which soon resulted In a scrap and a clean knock-out for one of tbe con­ testants, while the teachers and re­ maining scholars stood by with hands upraised In horror. We had Intended to publish the names of our pugilistic neighbors, but upon second thought did not do so. thinking that the boys, who had no more respect for them­ selves aud the church than they, may possibly feel big by being advertised in the papers.

If the merchants and business men of a town in driving through tbe country would note the farmers leav­ ing their binders, mowers, drills, plows, drags and nearly all of tbe farm tools stand just where thev left them when through using them, they would save a good many bad accounts, by taking heed of what they see. A farmer’s .method* can be pretty thoroughly estimated by the way he keeps his farming tools, as it Is not possible for a man to make both ends meet on the farm when he leaves all he has to work with unprotected front tbe snow, rain and sub. There are many such farmers any wav you may go, and these are the fellows that arc croaking hard times the hardest. Farming, at its best at the present day, does not pay princely profits, and every implement* 1 which carts a good hard-earned ten cents should be made to last as long as powlble.and the way It is kept generally has more to do with the usefulness of an article than tbc wear to which it Is subjected.

THE JAY GOULD ESTATE. The State Treasury Will Be Enriched ♦600,000 by Tuxes.

According to a supplemental report of the appraiser, the net value of the estate of Jay Gould was put at $73,615,473. It bus taken ft rev yean* of litigation for the court to get nt the value of rhe estate and to decide the taxes that the State is entitled to upon the legacies of the collateral heirs. The State treasury will be enriched near­ ly by the collection of thia tax. For the.purpose of avoiding interest ou the tax when it was fixed, the executors of the Gould estate paid into the State treasury, when the litigation was start­ ed. $600,000 under protest, to cover al) the taxes that might lie found to be due.

The feeling is gaining ground that England Intends to occupy the Transvaal aa a guaranty for the observation of the convention of 1884. The emperor and the Czar of Russia exchanged dispatches regarding the kaiser‘s telegram to Presi­ dent Kruger and the resulting conflict with England, and Russia's co-operation with Germany is already assured.

A special dispatch from Berlin says that Russia's co-operation with Germany in the Transvaal matter has been assured and that France will act with Russia. This, apparently, tends to confirm thezre-' port of an anti-British alliance, and that the action oi Emperor William toward the Boer republic was a thoroughly weighed step. The dispatch from Berlin to the Loudon Times saying that it is explained that Germany desired only to protect Ger­ man residents and its consulate at Pre­ toria by dispatching an armed force from Delagoa Bay. and that no arrangement on the subject bad previously been made with Portugal, tended to produce a better feeling. But this slight change fur the bet­ ter was counteracted by the receipt of n special dispatch from Pretoria, capital of ■ the Transvaal, saying that the Boers demanded the surrender of all British rights and suzerainty over the Transvaal, and the pre-emption of Detagoa Bay and the canceling of the charter of rhe British South Africa Company. It is further stated that the Boers have arrested, on the charge of treason, eight leaders of the re­ cent movement among the Uitlandei* at Johannesburg.

Rep­ resentative citizens from every county In the territory, ns well as from the Indian lands, responded to the roll-call. Gov. Renfrew was designated ns temporary chairman. Speeches were made declaring that the time for action on the part of the people had come, and that only with state­ hood can the people of Oklahoma secure free homes gnd relief from existing wrongs. An influential committee was appointed to open headquarters in Wash­ ington for the purpose of securing an en­ abling act daring the present session of the Fifty-fourth Congress. The commit­ tee was instructed to use every paMibl* effort to that end. on the ground that un­ less action is taken at the present ses­ sion It may be nt least three years before the people of Oklahoma can enjoy the great boon of statehood.

Congressman Fletcher (Minnesota) in­ troduced a resolution to recognize the bel­ ligerency of the Cuban insurgents, and Congressman Woodman of Illinois Intro­ duced in the House the following: "Whereas, the republic of Cuba baa, by its enterprise and ability iu statesman­ ship and arms, secured the control of the greater portion of the territory of th* island; and. Whereas, The armies of the republic of Cuba are now within sight of the capital city, the former government of the island, and the great majority of the entire population do accord allegiance to the newly formed republic; therefore, be it Resolved. That the Committee on For­ eign Affairs Im- requested to make an early report on resolutions heretofore referred to said committee touching on the affairs of the Cuban republic ami its proposed or existing rights as a civilized nation.” RU88IA SGRAND PLAN GIGANTIC PROJECT OF TRANS­ PORTATION.

Arizona, Oklahoma, and New Mexico Knock at Uncle Sam's Door. ■ The three territorial delegate*—Messrs. Flynn of Oklahoma, Murphy of Arizona and Catron of New Mexico—are waging a vigorous cam|>aign in Congress to se­ cure favorable action upon their bills for the admission of the territories repre­ sented by them to statehood. Each dele­ gate considers the achievement of state­ hood the chief mission of his congressional career and his energies are bent upon ae-‘ curing it. They are anxious to have the bills before the territories committee re­ ported to the House and disimed of in some way, and haring made a canvass of the committee, believe that more than two-thirds of~ its members will vote for favorable reports. The bills for the ad­ mission of Arizona aud New Mexico be­ fore this Congress are enabling acts mod­ eled upon the act by which Utah was ele­ vated to statehood, with certain modifica­ tions demanded i»y local condition*. Ari­ zona's bill stipulates for immediate state­ hood on a constitution which has already been formed by the people, but there la doubt concerning the legal standing of the convention. Mr. Flynn’s new Oklahoma bill differs from the former one in giving authority to Congress to attarfi any or all of the Indian territory to Oklahoma when the land* hare been allotted and made subject to taxation. Ex-Gov. Murphy, of Arizona, who is now the territorial dele­ gate, says he find* a strong sentiment for tlie abolition of the territorial system, but there i« much opposition to the admission of Arizona.

Hardly had this ‘nqw* been published when tho Globe issued an extra edition announcing under “scare headlines" that urgent and extreme activity prevailed in the war office and in the naval dockyard*, and adding the following startling tiding*: “A dispatch received from the military ramp at Aldershot say* that the general belief, almost backed by proof, prevails there that the authorities are considering the mobilizing of the army reserve* and part of the militia.

William's declara­ tion that he will recognize no suzerainty over the Transvaal, which the British claim by virtue of treaty, is nn added insult that cannot be passed over without s serious humiliation to the pride of Great Britain. The situation is complicated, too, by tho unsettled condition of affairs in South Af­ rica, from whence trustworthy informa­ tion is exceedingly meager. Cecil Rhodes has resigned the premiership of Cape Col­ ony. but the reason for the action is not I yet apparent. Once before, when there was an intimation of Interference from the home government with the action of the chartered company in conducting a war of aggression against the Matabeles. Rhode*, in threat, suggested the po*«ibi) ity of a British South African republic in­ dependent of Great Britain. It is highly improbable that Jameson's raid into the Transvaal was made without the knowl­ edge and connivance of Rhodes.

We got out here and followed one of the numerous beautiful drives Into the park. After walking some little dis­ tance. we pas&sd under an arch, which was thickly studded with stalactites, and anon came to tbe children’s play­ ing ground. Here was a soft carpet of greea grass, and on It were numerous little boys playing ball. Farther on were some swings In which the chil­ dren were enjoying themselves. There were some lovely buildings near by, but we did not stop to inspect them. Pushing on we came to the bicycle ground. Here numerous persons of beth sexes were describing circles with their bikes io the sand. Farther on we camo to the grand stand. This is shaped like a huge sea­ shell. Below it are scats for the spec­ tators. Behind all these Is a sort of monument. Sealed within, between tbe four columns, is a statue of Gecrge Washington. On top. holding the flag, If a statue of liberty. Engraved, arnuod it over Washington^ bead, we sa ” The star spangled banner, long may it ave.” I did not go around to see If it continued, but presume that “O’er the land of the free and tbe home of the brave” was engraved ou the other two sides. ' Vie now went up to the avary. Here were birds of all kinds, and gray and spotted squirrels. These last named clung to the wires and begged for nuts as we passed. But before this we passed a little pond where there were some blue swans with red bills and a big-stock. Also, four huge­ eared owls hnd some parrots. After haying the avary, we visited the grizzly bear. He was a huge fel­ low. but as he was lying down, icould not see how large he reallpwas. From here we went down to where the other animals are. Here were several Amer­ ican buffaloes, or blsons, elk, male and female; deer, kangaroo, antelope, mountain goat, and many others. Alter this Johnnle.said if 1 wanted to see tbe Cliff house I had better leave the rest of tbe park for Mime other time and come on. So out we went and up to the railway depot hur­ ried. After waiting a few minutes, the train steamed in and we sprang aboard <»f her. Away we went oast sand piled high by the wind, and I wondered bow GoldeoGate Park, with all Ils’ trees, shrubs, ferns, mosses, beautiful flo era and such could ev«r have been created out of that liarren, drifting sand. But here we are at Lhe end of our journey. Down we get and mingle with tbe crowd, and come upon a man exhibiting some trained birds. He puts them through some remarkable performances, and everyone watches attentively. ‘‘He’ll ask for money byaBd-by” said Johnnie, “but you needn't give any unless you wish.” He did pass the bat, but I had nothing for him. and Johnnie said, “Come on to the Cliff house. Up we went along the bluff. It was raining and the mist shut out the ocean, but a few green waye* rolled out of tbe mist and broke on the beach far below us. The CHIT house Is a dream. Built partially on the rocky cliffs, and partially over the water, it seems to defy tbe ocean that breaks below it. Sea’ Rtz.ks rise out of the water some little way out. and as we looked we saw the seals sleeping upon them. Now- for the baths. •• Shall we go In here,” asked Johnnie. '* ” ’ us see what it is,’’ I replied, And in ____paid- ten cents at we went. Johnnie the ticket window and got a ticket and wp were let through some rewir­ ing gates into the building. To describe what I saw here would take many pages, so I will jnstglvean outline. On the top floor we saw war cluhs of all the savage tribes: Indian work and prehistoric relics from Mexi­ co anS Peru, Egyptian relics, medals, hair ropes, savage war dresses, and masks, rare things from tbe South Sea islands, and many many other things I cannot call to mind. On the second floor we saw photographs of all countries: Japanese wax figures of noted personages who lived and flour­ ished in Japan ages ago: Egyptian mummies, the bunds, feet and heads of mummies, stuffed birds from all countries, stuffed animals, pickled snakes and fishes, rare shells, copies of documents written by old-time kings and queens, relics from Egyptian tomt>s, crabs of all sizes, large and small tlrantulas, and hundreds of oth­ er things 1 haven't space to enumer­ ate. In one glass case was represent­ ed a tree-stub. At Its foot Isa jaguar. Around bls body and around tbe stub Is a huge anaconda, crushing out his life slowly while he struggles vainly to free himself from crushing folds Under another case lies a stuffed dog appearing to be allveAU guard. Then there Is the modern phono­ graph and pictures ut all lands to tempt the dimes out of your pocket. From the windows cau be seen the ocean, which calls to mlud Tennyson’s “ Break. Iweak. break, on thy cold, gray rocks. O sea.’- At the bottom of tbe third flight of stairs are the baLbs. They are not quite ready yet for t«aLhers. They are six and eight feet d«ep, and have a diving board, and such contriran.es with rooms for the lath­ ers to dress and undress In. But up we go and out Into the air. It Is get­ ting dark. The rain has ceased, but the way i« muddy. We go up to the depot, but as the train Is not In yet we stroll a little way on Sntroheights. There are some beautiful statues there, and beds of beautiful brightlined flowers. I thought how differ­ ent it Is in the east, where everything is under snow—flowere only growing in hothouses. Here they bloom all tbe year round. But now tbe train came in and we aoon -leave the cliffs behind and fly back to San Francisco. Along the bluff we spin and go inland. It was dark when »«• got the cable cars. We rode up to Filtuore St. and took the electric cars for home. Sapper was over when we reached home, tired and happy.

When the reporter called upon him he waa engaged in active work about his house, some­ thing which he han not been able to do with any freedom for yean. He gave thc.foUowing story, which is well worth perusal: “ I was Waunded and sent to the hospital at Winchester during the war.

There were years when I would not sleep more than an hour or two a day. Do you realise what that means? My nerves were like aspens, subject to the slightest shock. That wm due to sunstroke. Thom pills quiet my nerves, take that awful pressure from my hesd and at the same time enrich my blood. There seemed to be no circulation in my lower limbs a year ago, ray legs being cold and clammy at times. Now the circulation there is as full and as brisk as at any other part of my body. I hare regained color, such as I have not had in many rears. Why, do you know, I used to be so light-headed and dizgy from my nervous dis­ order that I frequently fell while crossing the floor of my house. I could not walk a straight line upon the sidewalk, and I was afraid that people might think me intoxicated. I do not fall any more and I can walk straight. That is another thing I owe to Pink Pills.

The .offer was gladly accepted, and Mrs. Me Navarro writes that there was only one rehearsal, and It was call­ ed for the next morning. "On my way to Jbe Cathedral,” she adds, “I was enchanted to see posters on the fences making the announce­ ment’” The main part of the poster was devoted to advertising Milnes Levlck in “The Spy.” and at the bottom in smaller type the show bill read: "Saturday evening.

The kaiser was for one day tbe guest of the lord mayor, and the city of London received him and several of the queen's children on that day. The old city was splendidly decorat­ ed. and set for a great public function. Tbe streets from Buckingham palace to the lord mayor's mansion were lined with infantry and . cavalry, bock of whom was a solid mass of people. Between these lines the royal car­ riages slowly passed. They moved in almost absolute silence, save for the perfunctory salutes of tbe soldiery. The queen was not present, and for mere royalty as royalty, there was appar­ ently no popular feeling save that of curiosity. • When, however, the carriage of the Princess of Wales appeared, and her sweet, kind face was seen, tbe applause grew enthusiastic. Suddenly a burst of cheers was heard, as a low. black wagon came swiftly down the throng­ ed street. It was the ambulance of a hospital, which hns precedence every­ where. carrying some wounded man to receive succor. Tbe crowd paid homage to charity in a sincere though inappropriate fashion. In It was a hint which the scions of the ruling families of Europe present should have understood. Queen Vic­ toria knows that her people pay alle­ giance to her more as a wise, good woman, wife and mother than as one of the House of Hanover. "The divinity which doth hedge a king” must now have Its bast's In hu­ manity and personal respect rather than In descent or etiquette. A Patron of Music. Tbe Emperor William's interest in music was (a Berlin correspondent says) lately shown In a very practical way. The other day, when he was shooting In the forests of Letzlingen, the band of the Uhlans played selec­ tions during dinner. The Emperor, with his suite, went up to the musicians and made some observations about the way in which an Italian popular song, “Funiculi Funlcula," had been played, saying that It should have been taken quicker. Thereupon the Emperor took the baton, and under bis conductorship the song bad to be repeated. He fur­ ther conducted some military marches. Five songs by Count Philip Von Eulen­ burg. the German ambassador in Vien­ na. pleased the Emperor so much that ail had to be repeated. Description of a New Machine Which Waa Built In England.

Maine, has a young widow who milks three cows, does tbe work for two in the family, drives three miles and does a day’s work, returning home at nlgbt iu time to milk, mend tbe socks, feed the pigs, split tbe wood, etc. Then Canaan has a smart young woman, who. be­ sides doing the housework for quite a large family this fall, did tbe milking aml took all the care of two cows, the bogs, chickens, homes, etc., picked four­ teen bushels of apples, put them in the cellar, pulled two stacks of beans, and hauled in three large loads of pump­ kins, and after digging and picking up fifteen bushels of potatoes, pulling thir­ ty bushels of beets and turnips, and twenty-five heads of cabbage, put them all In tbe cellar berself. A NAILLESS HORSESHOE. Which Aeetn* to Be Admirably Adapt■ cd to It* Purpose., Ju one respect the human race has made very little Improvement during tho past few thousand years. This is In the matter of horseshoes. Our pres­ ent method of shoeing horses has not changed materially for centuries, and lias always been rude and irrational. One of the chief objections to the syo- shoe instead of the shoe to fit the hoof. This involves a lot of putting aud scrap­ ing, and is the chief cause of lameness and stumbling. The use of nails is also a serious objection, as. no matter how careful the blacksmith may be. there are cases when a tender spot will be penetrated. It is quite obvious that nature never Intended nails io be driven into a horse's hoof. Tbs accompanying illustrations show a novel horseshoe that has been sub­ jected to a careful and thorough trial od half a dozen horses. Like a great many works of genius, the one In ques­ tion is extremely simple. It consists of n band of metal about an inch high, which fits around the lower edge of the hoof. At the base of this band there is a sort of projecting shelf, or flange, which Is made to fit into a groove run­ ning1 around the Inside of the shoe. The latter is made of steel, of the usual shape and style. The only differences between It and the ordinary shoe are tbe presence of the gropes and the absence of nail holes. When the band is fitted to the hoof (which is done very readily), the shoe In turn Is attached by slipping tbe flunge Into the grove. It now remains to clasp the arrangement by two screws in the rear. These may be turned to any degree pf tightness desired, and THZ SHOR PROPER. a moderate degree Is sufficient to pre­ vent the shoe from coming off. The whole arrangement may be put on or taken off in a moment Made Him Apologize. That Christian IX. of Denmark, whose illness Is at present causing much apyiety. brings up his children In tbe way they should go is sufficiently evidenced by the following anecdote: One day at the dinner-table the young Prince asked his father what was the meaning of a word he had never beard before. This word, "luslng," Is the Danish equivalent for our “box on the ears." The king asked his son where he had heard such a word. Tbe boy, blushing to the roots of bis hair, con­ fessed after a little natural hesitation (bat be had been out iu the streets amusing himself by ringing tbe bells and then running away. But at one door an angry porter rushed out and shouted after him that be would give him a “luslng" if ever he did such a thing again. When the prince had finished bls explanation, bls father ex­ claimed, “Very well, to-morrow you shall go with me to that very house and beg the porter's pardon for such rudeness.” Accordingly, the next day the king went with bis much-abashed son aud made him apologize.

At tiie recent exhibition of chrys­ anthemums grown in tiie Washington Park greenhouse, Albany, says the In­ dependent, the most attractive section was that devoted to Japanese seed­ lings. Here was every variety of form and color, from daisy-size to largest chrysanthemum form, delicate shades and rich, dark colorings, petals of every variety of form and length. Each flow­ er seemed striving to escape from con­ ventional form, and the whole collec­ tion formed a jterfect flower garden in itself. The gardener In charge told me that the best people of Albany express­ ed a decided preference for these Jap­ anese seedlings, especially for vase adornment. One of these park seed­ lings, In another collection, made very, vigorous growth, and was trained on a fan-sbaited trellis. It bore over 400 beautiful white blooms. HcsulaticiK the Oven.

It Is of special ImpottaBce to have the oven In perfect condition, and as far as possible under the control of the cook. The best of stoves, says an experienced house­ wife. are tricky sometimes, and bear watching. Nearly each one has Its pet peculiarity—a tendency to burn at tbe bottom, or a habit of scorching at the top. while the lower part remains raw and sodden. Familiarity will enable the cook to correct these difficulties. She will overcome the first fault by placing the grating or a pau under tne baking dish, and the other by covering | the cake or loaf -with a pan or paper until the bottom »s done. A plaiu piece of manllla paper laid over the top of a cake will Insure thorough, even baking, when without tills arrangement the top would become scorched long before the cake was baked through.

IN authority, we ore assured makes the are only stupid. The children of the slums do not al­ ways work foe a iivlxqc. but there I* a large class of children, generally at the Child XUfr tn the Metropolis. Tbe points ef superiority of the mod­ erns over the ancients are so numerous and obvious that lhe old controversy as longer hns any poldt and is m»t serious­ ly dismissed. But among the items that enter into the immens:* advances we of thousand years ago is tbe fact that the condition, tbe wishes and wants of childreu now receive more attention; more Is done for their comfort and hap­ piness than was dreamed of as possible in any previous age of the world. It is a singular aud significant fact that no author of ancient- timot alludes to bta childhood in words indicating that be bad the slightest pleasure in the recollection. The ancients really had •no childhood, for at an age when our boys are entering the grammar schools the boys of Greece, the lads of Rome, were aran tn I ng the manly gown and unfiertakingthe responsibilities of man­ hood; at an age when our girls are bare­ ly leaving off their short dresses, the girls who grew up with Demosthenes aud Cicero, with Pericles and Julius Caesar, were married and had assumed the duties of housekeeping. Childhood Is thus a thing of modern times. The l»oys and girls of Attica and Italy were really little old men and women, just as the l»ys and girls of China are to­ day; only in our own age has the imtportance of childhood's happiness been tlully realized. Child life has. there­ fore, become a- factor, and a very impor­ tant factor at that, in modern life, and to such an extent Is -this understood and appreciated that be who denomi­ nates this the "children’s age” U not so far wrong as might l»e supposed. But there are children and children, piys the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and .n tbe Innumerable grades of life found IN THE age. and. save In exceptional cases, nev­ er know any lot in life but tliat of the severest drudgery. The division of la­ bor rendered necessary by the compli­ cated processes of our manufactures has afforded employment In abundance, even for efilldren of tender years, us there are many things which they can do as well as their elders, nod at a much less expense. Their lot is not enviable. They may be seen In dozens, coming out of the large factories where many different operations necessitated the employment of lal»or of every grade, and the appearance of these youthful laborers is far from prepossessing. Nor are their words or actions a material improvement on their appearance, for ON THE W11AJIF. In a modern city there is just as much room for classes among children as among their eiders, aud, perhaps even more, for while, in one sense, children are model democrats and acknowledge do class distinction but that of age. La another they arrange themselves into sets with the utmost rigidity, and their social rules are almost as unalterable as the laws of the Mede* and Penrians. The study of child life in a great city, therefore, assumes an Interest which, at first glance, does not seem to belong to it, for to the thoughtless observer who sees the children pour out of our great public schnftbi by thousands nt the closing hour, the only question that presents itself is how in the world the parents are able to feed and clothe so many. As this, however, is a question that the (parents themralTes are some­ times hardly able to answer, it may be dismissed as irrelevant, for, somehow or other, no matter what the number of cidldren that come into a family, they all seem to’get enough to live on, add something to wear, and they all have homes, and beyond this is nobody’s busiuem to inquire. In many resptN-ta child life in a eity Is of Infinitely greater variety and so- the former are often coarse and the latter rude. They know nothing of the elegancies of polite society; It is Impos­ sible that they should, and it is quite probable that if they had the opjtortunlty they would not <*are to learn. The district school which they attended for two or three years before they were old enoughwork gave them all the book education they are likely ever to gain. It is enough for their purpose, and most of them\do not care for more. There may be 'among them those “mute in­ glorious Miltons” of whom Gray writes, but. if so, the chill penury in which they are doomed to live will crush out every noble ambition and concentrate all their energies in a struggle for bread. When they rise from the situa­ tion in which they find themselves as boys, it Is usually through efficience bi their occupations or especial skill or dexterity in the line of their employ­ ment. but it is gratifying to know that among the superintendents and man­ agers of departments in the factories n very large proportion have risen from the.ranks, for in Industry as In M-ar every private carries a nuirshal's baton In his knapsack. In comparison with these youthful laiMiters the children of the middle and <rf the children, particularly about dunk and after nightfall: all their games and plays are carried on in the pubtyyhigh­ the happy equanimity of c hildhood.

It is a mistake to suppose that money or station, or any other like distinction, gives pleasure to children, for to them money represents nothing; rank and social position arc only names. When they are old enough to appreciate the fact that money means candy and popcorn and a seat in the gallery, then the scuffle for money -begins, to end no more; when they.are old enough to understand that social position means the deference of others, then the struggle for place com­ mences. but from the little toddlers who fill the kindergartens to the boys who train goats and associate freely ou terms of jierfect equality, these things are not even names. It is well that this is so. 'fjie straggle of life is so fierce, so relentless after it has once l»egun, that a breathing spell before its com­ mencement is a happy provision of na­ ture, and so It comes in childhood. The child life of a city may not have the PARKS. pleasant features of child life in the tiie pleasantest, the happiest they will country, but the children never know ever see, but the children themselves the difference, and we never lose what do not believe the statement, for every day they have practical and positive evidence of its untruthfulness. A man regards the troubles of a boy as ot sdiall consequence, and to him they are; but to the tray his cares are just as hard to bear, perhaps harder, than the business difficulties and reverses be will encounter twenty or thirty years later. A woman lightly treats the sorrow of her little girl over a broken doll, but the grief is none the less sincere, for all these things are merely eomparatlve; one man, who is weak, will find ten pounds as much of a burden as 100 will be to another who is gifted in the mat­ ter of bone and muscle, and so tLe trou­ ble of a boy who has lost his knife may be as bard to )>ear, for him. as the trou­ ble of a man who has lost $1,000; the mortification of the boy who has been “turned ’down" In his spelling class is as keen as that he will experience later in life when, in another sense of the word, he is “turned down” in pursuit of an office. we never enjoyed.

An amusing incident of the dvtl was recently told at a veteran's a section of lhe Weldon Railway was a picket line for the T.'nion forces. One day General Mlles, who bad re­ ceived not long before his cotnmiraicm as brigadier general of volunteers, vis­ ited on exposed quarter of the line near Greeqsvllie and notired a grim sentinel on duty. Riding up to the picket Gen­ eral Mlles pointed toward Greenville and raid: . “I wish to see General Kautz. Go down to his hen cl quarters and tell him to come up here.*.' The errand was not a pleasant one. The enemy were behind the exposed railway and the messenger would be a conspicuous target for bullets. “I am on duty bens,” raid the picket, quietly. * •That is all right.” said General Miles, with a smile. "I know that you are on duty here, but 1 want you to go to General Kautz and tell him that I want to see him nt once." "1 have been ordered on picket duty," said lhe soldier, with dogged persist­ ence, “and I must remain here until I am relieved.” "Very good," said the General; “I un­ derstand the matter, but I want to see General Kautz at once." “All right,” answered the picket. “If you want to see Kautz more than I do, why don’t you go down and look him up?" General Miles rode away In great auger, aud sent word to General Kautz that the picket bad been very insolent, and ought to l» severely disciplined. The next day nt gunrdmountlng Gen­ eral Kautz sent for the picket, and asked him to repeat what he liad said to General Miles. “I told him that I was on duty, and must remain until somebody in author­ ity relieved me." “Did General Mlles relieve you?" “No; he told me to go down the rail­ way towards Greensville, but he didn't relieve me.” • “Well, did you defy him?” “No. indeed.” said the picket. “I merely told him that If he wanted to see Kautz more than I did he would belter go down himself and look you up." “That’s all right," said Gen. Knutz, apparently well pleased that the picket had saved-him an uncomfortable ride, “if I had been there, I would have told him to go to Halifax. It's all right, anyway." The sentry, instead of belngsrnt to the guardhouse for iusqbordination in having impudently refused to obey an order from 1>1m superior. was compli­ mented upon his discretion in waiting to be relieved from his first detail. The veterans who heard this story were disposed to think that the sentry, was technically correct If General Mlles had formally relieved him from picket duty, there would have Iteen no pretext for disobedience of a direct or­ der. Within 1OO Years. The total Indian population at this time, according to estimates made by the officials of the Indian Bureau, is 248,253, exclusive of the Indians of Alaska. In 1829. before the annexation of Texas and Mexico, the estimated Indian (Kipulation of the country was 400.000. In 1855 the number was said to be 350,000 and the name estimate Is made for 1871. The most rapid decline in numbers has been in the last quarter of a century. The fact that the Chero­ kees ami Chlppewas.both comparatively powerful tribes, have actually increas­ ed In numbers makes the decrease In the other tribes ail the more remarka­ ble. It is believed that the principal loss has been among lhe Sioux and other tribes of the Northwest. More than twothirds of the total number, or 2217,478. In 1871 were on the reservations. A: the beginning of 1895 the number on the reservations had been decreased to 133.417, or about one-third of the total numl>er. Less than 30.000 of these are self-supporting.the Federal Government issuing supplies to most of them. If the rate of decrease which has been maintained for the last quarter of a century or so be continued there will not be a single full-blooded Indian in the country; except possibly In dime museums, by the end of the twentieth century.

The Cuban sentiment found spontane­ ous expressions in the House Friday morning in a most nnusual manner. It was the “Fighting Parson from Michi­ gan,’' the house chaplain, who caused it by winding up bis daily supplications in the following manner: “Almighty God. we beseeth thy guidance, especially as we lift up our hearts for the struggling Cubans to-day. and pray that they may, if they are righx, be successful in their attempts, and may our nation do everything for them it can without compromising its dignity or sacred duty to other nations. This we ask in Christ's name. Amen." Ere he had finished rhe last word there came from fhe galleries and the, floor an explosion of applause, which swept every one off his trot. Speaker Reed, old stager that he to, forgot to pound for order, and the enthusia/tm was permitted to expend itself.

The State Farmers’ Institute, in session at Hastings Tuesday and Wed­ nesday of this week, was largely at­ tended and many topics of interest and value to the farmer and his wife were intelligently discussed and treat­ ed by professors from the Agricultur­ al College, who are constantly exper­ imenting scientifically, and are In a position to know whereof they speak. The talk by Prof. Taft on “How Shall We Meet -the Summer Drouths," was instructive and Intelligent, show­ ing much study and comprehension, and bringing out many pointe of ben efleent interest to all. The practical illustration of butter-making would have better had it consumed less time in tbe making and telling. The top­ ics were all live ones and discussed with an energy and criticism which betokened an interest in them. The value and benefit of these institutes can hardly be estimated, as the bene­ fits accruing from them are not at once apparent. In Oldon Times People overlooked the importance of permanently beneficial effects and and were satisfied with transient ac­ tion; but now that it le generally known that Syrup of Figs will per­ manently cure habitual constipation, well-informed people will not buy oth­ er laxatives, which act for a time, but finally injure the system.

Like the hypnotized deacon, they are now crying “Whah me!” ‘‘The saddest words of tongue or pen are the words, it might have been.” Klein­ hans has catered to the wants of the people of Nashville and vicinity for many years. A few of his customers have left him in the time he has been doing business here, but they always come back and bring others with them. They had a right to leave if they thought they could do better, and every one he welcomes back he can count upon as a firm customer in the years to come.

When these facts became known Id England the grief, anger and shame of the nation were utRwunded. It then than the minister of war appealed to Miss Nightingale to organise and take out with her a I«and of trained nurses. She was anned with full au­ thority to cut the swathes of red tape that had proved shrouds to so many soldiers. Miss Nightingale, accompa­ nied by forty-two other ladles, all trained nurses, set sail for the Crimea. They arrired at Constantinople on the eve of the battle of Inkermanu. "'Their first work, therefore, was to receive Into tbe wards, already crowded, the CLARA BARTON. not to be wondered at when It is remem­ bered that for thirty years Miss Barton has bqen in tbe midst'Of death and suf­ fering by battle, flood, earthquake, fire and cyclone—always hastening to help when the cry for aid was raised. There Is stirring romance In the his­ tory of the red cross, the emblem of the Crusaders, of the Knights of Malta, who fought for their faith and risked life for sentiment. Within recent years the red cross has come to bear a broad­ er significance, since the time thirty years ago, when at a congress of na­ tions In Geneva. It was made Interna­ tional law that the rod cross should be the badge of neutrality on every battle­ field, and that only the red cross would be thus respected. Since 1864 the red cross has gleamed like a star of home on the battlefield of every Important conflict In Europe, and for the last fourteen years upon the scene of every great catastrophe to mankind In America. The evolution of the altruistic feeling which prompts such charity is of this century and really of the past forty years. The two great forces In the spreading of the Red Cross and Its doc­ trines of mercy through the world were the mlssldb of Florence Nightin­ gale to the Crimea and tbe work of the sanitary and Christian commis­ sions In tbe American civil war. in the few years' Interval between the Cri­ mean war and the rebellion the growth of this spirit was shown Id tbe power­ ful organization formed In Austria for temporary relief In the Franco-Italian war of 1859. To-day In more titan thirty countries there are Red Cross organizations, equipped and ready for any emergen­ cy. In the continental nations the Red Cross is closely allied to the military department of the government, and is almost a branch of the service in war times. It Is not easy to realize that when only forty years ago Florence Nightingale, at the bead of a band of brave English women, volunteered to nurse the English soldiers who were dying like sheep In the trenches of Se­ bastopol, the sensation aroused was tremendous. Florence Nightingale Is living to-day, In Ixmdon, a very aged lady, of whom the world bears noth­ ing. Tbe fruits of her work in the Crimea were seen throughout the civil­ ized world. Her example was an In­ spiration to the good men and women who organized tbe sanitary and Christlon commissions in the United States, which brought about the Geneva con­ vention and tbe establishment of sc international Red Cross. Before Florence Nightingale took up the work of her life tbe art ot sick nursing can hardly have been said to exist. Miss Nightingale spent nearly ten years In studying nursing before she considered herself qualified to un­ dertake the sanitary direction of even a small hospital. She was the daugh­ ter and heiress of a wealthy country gentleman of Derbyshire. The work with which her name-will always be as­ sociated. and for which she will always be loved and honored, began during the Crimean war. Within a few weeks after the comnwncement of actual fighting tn 1854 England was horrified and ashamed to hear of the frightful disorganization of the supplies, and of the utter breakdown of the commh*jssriat and medical arrangements in the field. The result was that the most frightful mortality prevailed, not so much from the inevitable risks of bat­ tle ns from the unsanitary conditions of die camps, the want of proper food, clothing and fuel, and the wretched hospital management. Out of the total wounded from the fiercest engagement of the campaign. Miss Nightingale and her nurses prov­ ed fully equal to the charge they bad undertaken. After her arrival there were no more complaints about Ineffi­ cient hospital arrangements. Within a few months after Miss Nightingale's arrival 10,000 sick men were under her care, and the rows of beds In the Berwack hospital at Scutari measured more than two miles in length. When Miss Nightingale returned to England she received such a welcome as probably has fallen to no other wom­ the United States, and In communicat­ ing Intelligence to their relatives." A bill was finally passed giving her >16,000 for expenses already Incurred and for services to be rendered, the appro­ priation having reference to her pro-, posed search for the graves of soldleni, unknown, missing, and unrecorded. The path to thia work opened for Miss Bar­ ton through the records kept by Dor­ rance Atwater, a Connecticut boy In prison at Andersonville. He had been detailed to keep for the prison authori­ ties a record of tbe dead and their burial. Thinking that the folks-at home would like to know he preserved on nnga and bits of paper a duplicate set of the records, with the graves Indi­ cated on a plot of the burying ground., After the war Miss Barton secured these lists of 15,000 names, and together they had thousands of graves marked with head-boards at Andersonville and elsewhere. In 1869, nearing her 40th birthday. Miss Barton went abroad for necessary rest and recuperation.' The next year tbe Franco-Prussian war broke out and Miss Barton sought the battle­ fields and did effective work among the wounded, especially at Strasburg. From Strasburg she went to relieve the suffering after the fall of the commune In Paris. Her services won her tbe Prussian Order of Merit, gave her ac­ quaintance with the workings of the Red Cross agencies In Switzerland and Germany, and brought her under tbe notice of the head of the latter society, the Empress Augusta. Gifts from Royalty. As a result of this and other visits and services Miss Barton has received a jewel gift fromhhe grand duchess of Baden, the Jewel of the American Red Croak, the Servian decoration of the Red Cross, presented by Queen Na­ talie; the Gold Cross of Remembrance, from tbe duke of Baden, and Red Cross medal from the queen of Italy, and an English decoration, pinned on by the hand of Queen Victoria. When all was over Miss Barton returned from Europe to find that, while she bad won fame abroad, her work was almost wholly unknown here. For four years Miss Barton worked to have the Uni­ ted States government sign the Inter­ national Red Cross convention. In 1881 Congress passed the needed legislation and the American Association of the Red Cross was formed. Miss Barton was subsequently elected president. The flrat field work of the society was done In 1882, when the Mississippi over­ flowed. ‘Miss Barton started for the scene with a meager fund, but aid soon poured in and more resources were sup­ plied than were needed, so that a sur­ plus was put by for tbe next great dis­ aster. In the next year the Ohio floods and the Louisiana cyclone, and In the following year the Mississippi and Ohio floods again called out the Red Cross workers. In 1886 the drouth In Texas and the Charleston earthquake sent the Red Cross agents hurrying to the scenes of RED CROSS WORK ON THE an. Tbe nation rose to do her honor. The queen presented her a Jewel in commemoration of her work tn the Crimea, and a national testimonial took tbe form of a popular subscription of >250,000. Miss Nightingale devoted this sum to the permanent endowment of schools for the training of nurses In St. Thomas' and King's College hos­ pitals. Since the Crimea no European war has taken place without calling forth the services of trained hands and skilled nurses. Miss Barton held a position In the patent office at Washington at the open Ing of the war. Her brother was cap­ tured, and she determined to go South and make an effort to liberate him. Just before the battle of Bull Run she adver­ tised tn the Worcester (Mass.) papers that she would receive stores and mon­ ey for the wounded soldiers at the front, which she would personally dis­ tribute. The npi»eal was so I literally answered that she filled a building in Washington. Miss Barton went to the front, and after the death of her broth­ er continued to nurse and. relieve suffer­ ing until nearly the end of the war. On returning to Washington she peti­ tioned Congress for >15.000 in "payment for her services in endeavoring to dis­ cover missing soldiers of the army of FIELD OF BATTLE. suffering and death.

The female insect lays her'eggs on the kernels of wheat, corn, oats or barley. The eggs soon hatch into legless larvae which eat out the substance of the kernel and reach maturity in a few weeks.

They can be destroyed by plac­ ing carbon bisulphide in glass tubes ex­ tending nearly to the bottom of a bln of grain, and stopping the top with a cork or rubber stopper or some other material which will prevent the gas es­ caping.

Even-seasoned hickory will carry tire for a long time, and a log of green hiekory may be buried In ashes at bedtime, uncovered tbe next morning, and. five minutes' work of the bellows, blown into a lively flame, says the Maryland Farmer. If covered deep enough it will waste but little in all the Intervening hours. Oak makes a brilliant, hot fire, but t>eing less dense than hickory, will not last so long. One hickory log four Inches in diaigeter will outlast perhaps twice its bulk of oak. Maple, round green logs of the pin oak, sassafras and three or four others of the native woods burn well, though most of them rapidly. It is a sin to burn elms, but an elm butt, with part of tbe root, makes a lasting fire. The tulip tree is on no account to be used unless nothing else Is to l>e had, for it burns ill when green, goes like tinder when dry, and In either case snaps great burning coals a yard or more lwyond tbe fireplace.

BOATS CARRY CANNON HART LINE OF STEAMERS PRE­ PARED TO FIGHT. Will Resist Spanish Cruisers Instead of RnuniuK — Bi* American Liner Races Into Lons Branch Beach­ Commerce Waitins for Congress. Capt W. W. Ker, the attorney who representh the Cubans In their cause at Philadelphia and also the Ktcamahip com­ pany. said that hereafter the steamers of the Hurt Line plying between Philadel­ phia and Cuba will be armed. The Ilorsa and her companion boats arc to have both bow and stern chasers. The Captain continned: “I am told the Spanish authori­ ties have said that if they catch one of the vessels of the Hart Line in Cuban waters they will make it hot for the ship. We are opt going to giro up the West Indian trade, and we know there are no United States vessels there to protect ours. We have concluded to go into the protecting business ourselves. There arc lots of welltrained young men from our naval train­ ing vessels who would be only too glad to get a position where they could gain practical experience, and there are no bet­ ter gunners in the world than they are. Wc are not going to seek trouble with tho Spaniards, but we cannot afford to have •ur vessels chased nnd do not want to go to the expense of the extra coal thqt would be used in-getting up steam to run nway from a Spanish cruiser. I have seen some of these Spanish cruisers, and in my judgment a Cuban vessel of wa# manned by our young Americans will hare a picnic with the Spanish fleet, and there will be enough prize.money in it to make some of our young men compara­ tively wealthy." BIG LINER ASHORE. American Liner St. Paul in Trouble at Long Branch. If was during a spanking race to make New York port ahead of her fleet rival, the Cunardcr Campania, that the Ameri­ can liner St. Paul ran her nose 100 feet into the white sands of Ix>ug Branch Friday at midnight Stories differ about the Campania, it being declared and de­ nied that she. too, rajs aground, but was able lo release herself. The stranding of the St. Paul, it was learned when her passengers arrived in the city at 7 o’clock Saturday evening, occurred nt the close of a sevchteen-hour race, called off on account of the heavy fog. This is vouched (or l«»th by Captain Walker of the Cam­ pania nnd the passengers of botK ships. Walker came near going ashore himself sff Elberon, but was warned by the men of tbe life-saving crows nnd dropped an­ chor in time to save his ship. It is possi­ ble the St. Paul cannot be floated in time to save her. FAITHFUL TO PLIGHTED TROTH. Conat&ncy for Forty Years Followed by Marriage. Unusual constancy has ended in a wedding, which was solemnised at Gil­ boa. Ohio. Tlie contracting parties were George W. Wisegiver and Miss Anna Kelly, each aged over GO years. When young they were engaged, but the girl’s parents opposed their marriage because Mr. Wisegiver wns poor.

For forty years they lave lived close neighbors. The groom in his long life. has made considerable wealth, and they will now experience un­ interrupted love and case. Outlook for Trade. R. (J. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review qf Trade says: ’The week has been marked >yx Improvements apparent rather than real. Prices of some products have risen, •at only because supplies are believed to be smaller than expected. The Senate •fctill injures ail business by doing nothing and the treasury cannot expect to gain In gold as yet. but loxes less than was expected. It is generally assumed that thv new loan will be placed without diffi­ culty. though tlie suceexslve payments may cause continued disturbance.

That not a pupil was injured in a blaze which started Thursday morning on the first floor of the Dodge street school at Omaha, Neb., was due to Offie Downs, a Ift-year-old boy. Offie is the head drum­ mer in the fire drill. He handles tlie drum to keep the children in marching order. As soon as the alarm was given he hurried down to the principal's office, got his drum and. stationing himself near the door, pounded out the tunes while the children marched out of the building. People of Venezuela Have Declared Comiuercial War. The press and people of Venezuela have declared commercial war against Eng­ land.

Oswald, who arrived at San Fran­ cisco on the steamer Coptic from tlie Orient, was an eye witness of the execu­ tion of the five men charged with having been ringleaders in the massacre of mis­ sionaries at Ku Cheng. The execution occurred at Foo Chow in the presence of a vast number of Chinese. Only twentyfour Caucasians witnessed the death scene. “The prixoneni were brought upon the ground in wooden cages,” said Mr. Oswald. “Each of them was conveyed to the tent, where we were sitting, and to them was read the death warrant, after his identity had been established. The mundarinette read the warrant, stuck an arrow through it, and pinned the paper to the back of the prisoners’ coats. After this, tbe doomed men wen* led to the grounds where they were to die. Five patches of turf had been cut. and in each indention a man kuclt. When all was in readiness the court of mandarins, accom­ panied by the British naval contingent and the foreign consular officials, emerged from the tent mid took up a position in front of the canvas. Then, amid an im­ pressive silence, the crimes of the con­ demned men were recited to the crowd and the penalty wax proclaimed. Two soldiers acted as executioners. They stood behind the five men, cnch prisoner having/nls head on a block. At a given word the executioners advanced. Not the least sign of fear was visible on the faces of the wretched Chinese whose heads were »o6n to fall. The work of the exe­ cutioners was very rapidly performed. With one stroke of tbe ax tbe head was severed from the body and In just three seconds the act was consummated. The execution has had a great moral effect on the Chinese, and I think It will be a long time before there will be municrons inter­ ference with the missionaries.” Fired on a British Steamer. The British steamer Taftia, Captain Orchard, which arrived at Philadelphia with a cargo of iron orc, reports being fired on by a Spanish gunboat. The Tafua was about twenty miles cast of Kiqnire and about three miles from shore when the gunboat wns seen in pursuit. She ran up signals, and tbe Tafua not onjkrotsnding them proceeded under full ■team. The gunboat gave chase and when about 100 yards from the British boat sent n blank shot across her bows. The captain immediately ran up the Brit­ ish ensign, at tbe sight of which, he says, the Spanianis.nurned tail and steamed away. Captain Orchard says he will not report the matter to th» English consul, as he was most likely at fault. He did not make out the name of the gunboat, hut thinks it one of five new ones recently purchased by Spain. CZAR TURKEY’S ALLY. TOM BWXMa X* GONS. Vataraa Ohioan Meets Death to Naw New York. Gen.

The greatest diffi­ culty in the way of the success of the plot was the queen regent of Spain. This ex­ cellent woman is a devoted friend of Gen. Campos, whom she regards as a father to her. Her consent wns necessary before Gen. Campos could be removed. A bold stroke was made to secure this. It was represented to the queen that the life of tho captain general was in danger from the Havana mob; that his valor and ten­ acity would prevent him from avoiding or yioldiug, and the only safe thing to do to get him out of the way was to recall him. The fact wns Ignored that Havana was perfectly quiet, that there were plen­ ty of troops within call and that Gem Campos himself reported no disorder. The queen consented to his recall and ths enemies of the general triumphed. AT LEAST SEVENTY LIVES LOST. Fire in ■ Russian Circne Theater Caneee a Terrible Panic. The official investigation into the cause of the fire which destroyed the circus theater at Erkaterinoslav, capital of the southern Russian government of that name, has uot been able to establish the real cause of the disaster, which is be­ lieved to have resulted in tbe loss of over seventy Ilves. Tbe first alarm was given by an actress, who appeared terror-stripken on the stage during a children’s mat­ inee. She threw the whole audience into a panic, as the theater immediately began to fill with smoke and flame. A terrible rush wns made for the do$gs of the build­ ing, but only two out of the eight exits were open, the others having been secure­ ly closed on account of the cold weather. Tho iron roof of the building collapsed, killing numbers of |>ereons. The victims were mainly children, and in addition to those burned, suffocated by the smoke or crushed by the fall of the roof, m&uy were trampled to death. WILL ADMIT MISS BARTON.

How Tomatoes Grow. Little Sammy has been visiting In Florida. Mrs. Bronson took him to see her niece. Fiorrie, the niece, lived on a plantation where tbe best vegetables In tbe world are grown. She was proud of this fact, and she felt happy in being able to escort Sammy to a large garden of exquisite tomato plants. To her sur­ prise, when she pointed out the beauti­ ful plants with the ripe tomatoes and fresh green leaves, Sammy replied: "Say, what are you giving me? Bay, I came from the greater New York.

In such a scarf of Norwegian marten tails as that In the first picture there is not enough warmth to condemn it on warm days, and It makes a very pretty finish for the Ince vest, which Is lined with white silk. The remainder of the bodice is of blue brocaded silk, and tbe plain skirt is of tan cloth satlnlined. The muff here is of marten, of course, nnd Is worn without ribbon or chain, which Is the usual way of car­ rying muffs this year, but when the dress Is of a somber sort it may be en­ livened by using a ribbon nnd a showy one.

Booth, romtuander-ln-chief of the Salvation Army, relieving Ballington Booth of the command In America ha* called forth a proteat from the 30,000 soldiers who fairly worship tbe commander sad his wife. Th* army was stunned by the news. It asked for an explanation, a reaton why Its leader should be taken away. He answered sadly that he knew noth­ ing more titan wbat the brief order con­ tained.

It seems odd nowadays to sec a dress that tits tightly and smoothly In front but the dressmakers are constantly ex­ perimenting with a view to hitting up­ on something that will l»e so well liked as to bring about a general change, and this next dross Is a very recent bld. It was Intended for a simple house wear, and was In green cloth, plain as to both skirt and bodice. A lace ruff and jabot garnished this model, and its maker pointed out that It was susceptible of adornment by all sorts of lace and rib­ bon yokes, chiffon fichus, etc. This la quite true, aud a plain satin belt would reMeve ’he look of severity at the waist, too. Small is the effort at plainness made In tbe bodice of the flual picture. It has a small ripple basque, and Is em­ broidered nt either side of the plain vest with green silk soutache braid.

But it waa not until the other night that the State au­ thorities were given an in»ight into the filthiness of some of the bakeshops of the metropolis. Deputy State Factory In­ spector Franey and Bakeshof) Inspector Hanlon started out together to take a peep at some ot tbe city's bakeries. What­ ever doubts Mr. Franey might have had as to the necessity^ of tbe bakeshop law they were removed.

He was nn Englishman born and bred. He' brought with him his wife, the daughter of a Church of England clergyman. They entered at once u;>on the work and have accmnplbhod wonderful things. Mrs. Booth is as much of a commander as her husband, and iu every undertaking she has bad an equal share. They found here about 600 officer* and (J,000 soldier*, poorly organised and ■landing very low in public estimation. To-day there are 2,100 officer* nnd 3,500 local officers, the htter being men and women who work at their various call­ lug* in th* daytime and devote their evenings and Sundays to army work. There are corp* n,1>i 30.000 soldiers. Of institution* the army has IU slum posts, 6 rescue homes, 22 training garri­ sons for cadets, 4 food and shelter de­ pot*, numerous house* of relief in vari­ ous cities, and fl outrider circuit* in the mining camp* of the West. In addition to thi* there is the War Cry, with a weekly circulation of 90,000. In the larger cities the army has gradually been acquiring property, the headquarter* building in New York City being the largest and finest. One result of which the Booth* are proudest Is the rise of the army iu pub­ lic estimation. At first churches nnd people generally gave no approval or support.

William Booth came to this country last year. -The progress of the American army in popular esteem seemed especially to dbplease him, and he preached continually about the necessity of keeping down every ten­ dency to rlse/rtSore the gutter. The inde­ pendence at the American army and It* evident tendency to cut loose from EJnglbh rule and method* caused many sharp talks to officers. He saw that a continua­ tion meant ultimate separation. He said tbe array was too ranch Americanized. After leaving thb country Gen. Booth started onut tour of the world to investi­ gate tlie wings of the army in various re­ gion*. He sent from India the order reliev­ ing Ballington Booth of the command in America. At the same time be relieved the commanders in several other conntries. He is determined that the armies ■hall feel that they are all under hb com­ mand and that every country shall be sub■ervient to English rule. International beadquarters In Ixmdon bars continually Interfered In the affairs of the American army, countermanding orders and giving BOOTH. of flour, and that It was caused by the fluttering end scratching of a hen in the flour that was soon to be made into bread.

On the third of December I was out near my barn when a stranger stepped up to within a few feet of me before I saw him. He inquired where Long lived. I told him he lived a mile north and a little east. He said they were buying sheep to ship. I told him I had some sheep u> sell, but he didn’t seem to care to look at them. The sheep were near by and I took him over there. He told me my sheep were not good enough. He asked me if I knew Daniel Jackson, and when I told him yes, he asked me how I would go to get there. I told him if I was going I would go crosslots. He wanted to know bow to drive there. I direct­ ed him there and he wanted a descrip­ tion of the house. Asked if Jackson had sheep to sell; told him I thought not. He says “he is an old mao, alnt he?” I told him yes. Asked It he bad a big farm and I told him he had quite a piece of land. Asked if be lived all alone, and I told him yes. Asked if he had ever been married, and I told him not that I knew of. ITe said he had been credibly informed that Jackson had good sheep to sell. Then be re­ peated over again the directions I had given him to Jackson's house. Said be was sorry my sheep were not better as he would like to buy them. I told him if he was going to see Long they had better go there first, as it was nearer and they would save time.

On the way home from Chicago I put him in jail at Kalamazoo, and during the night his mustache was cut off, without my knowledge. I have not allowed him to shave since he has been here and his mustache had got a fair growth again, until last week he got a pair of scissors from another prisoner and haggled it off agaim. Respondent has had that trouble in?his left eye only since yesterday noon. He said he got pome dirt in it. He gave his name to go on the record as Frank -B. Brooks. At that time I had received a certain letter, which Frank Jones claimed to have received from Detroit. (Letter and envelope submitted as evidence, objected to, and after some argument withdrawn.) I have a revolver said by the Chicago detective to have been taken from Easterly. Cross ex. Easterly haggled off his mustache while in the jail, with a pair of shears. I would not at first let him shave, but last Sunday I final­ ly told him he could beshaved to suit himself. Mrs. Tuckerman described the man to me, a few days after the robbery. Said he had a light mus­ tache, not very long nor very heavy. Said be had a scar on his chin and a turned-up aose worse than mine.

The con*»u*i» of opinion it that trade I* fair, but might be much bet­ ter. There i* no boom, and none i« ex­ pected, but no one expect* the trend of trade to turn downward. The business men interviewed represented manufactur­ ers and wholesale dealer* in clothing, dry goods, boots and shoe*, jewelry, hardware, drugs, groceries, lumber and iron and steel. They all had practically the sam« ■Cory to tell, although some were more optimistic than others, and there wo* a wide difference in opinion as to advisable measures. Most of theui'agreed that buslues* prospect* nre a* good a* could be ex|M*cted under existing condition*, nnd that it Is idle to look for a dc<*ided Im­ provement in business in this country un­ til complete confidence bus been restored to the business world by the settlement of the financial problems which have been menacing- the nation for two or three years.

Some want a higher tariff, some a lower, ami some favor no change. It was admitted in many quar-. ter*, too, that the Weather had exerted u good deal of influence on business. The Legislative Grind.

The House committee had prepared some resolutions on the Mint subject, but it was deemed advisable aftei the Senate resolutions reached the House to substitute them for those prepared by the committee. Mr. Quigg, of New York, who had charge of the resolutions, made an able presentation of the case. There was a disposition on the part of some of the members to go further than the resolu­ tions did and Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, pro­ posed to give the Turkish minister bit passport* ami sever all diplomatic rela­ tions with Turkey.

A Fitzgerald, Ga., correspondent, writ­ ing of the new G. A. R. colony being founded there, says: The meh who fol­ lowed Sherman to tbe sen nre once more “marching through Georgia." But the people of thia State do-not look upon the present invasion with such consternation os they did on that of over thirty years ago. for this Is one of pence—the invaders have come to live with the invaded. The movement to colonize members of the O. A. K. in the South ha* made a fine start and already Fitzgerald, the "metropolis” of the colony, has a population of several thousand. Fitzgerald is in Irwin County and not five miles distant from the spot where Jefferson Darin was cajpture<l. The orig­ inal plan of this colony was to provide a home in a milder climate for the veteran* of the Federal armies. The project start­ ed with Philip Fitzgerald, a pension at­ torney and wealthy property owner of In­ dianapolis.

St. Paul was the prize winner at last year** Rational encampment, but the Western Passenger Association will not make a rate satisfactory to the Grand Array of the Republic, which fact may change the place of mcj*ting. A delega­ tion from St. Paul wan in Chicago to try to “argue it out." and they brought the Commander-in-chief of the Grand Array of the Republic with them, but the West­ ern Passenger Association was obdurate nnd held out for a high rate of fare. So Commandey-ln-chief Walker will call a council of war to determine where the next encampment shall lx* held. At last encatnpmeut, which was held iu Louisville, it was voted that the next en­ campment should be held In St. Paul. A stipulation, however, -dvas made that it should go there only in cast* a satisfactory rate could be obtained from the railroads. The Western roads bid for the patronage of the G.

At the same time a rate of one fare for the round trip to the Knights of Pythias conclave, to lx* held in the same city in August, wn* granted and n thirty-dny limit authorized. Commander-in-c-hief Walker aud prominent citizens of St. Paul immediately took issue over the seven-day limit placed on the G. A.

With one exception the tickets to all the Grund Army of the Ref>ublic reunions held during the past ten year* have been based on a thirty-day limit. Tbe excep­ tion was the reunion held in Milwaukee. A similar dispute took place at.that time, the Western roads refusing to deal libcrnlly with the veterans.

Then a local ship yard came forward AT FITZGERALD, GA. with a bill, which was also paid on the spot. Obstacles’ seemed to melt away before his haste, for when two firms threatened to bring libel suits against the steamer their claims were paid iu full as soon as n figure was named.

U.S.A. hQOOOO �•OTHER CHAPTER IN THE TALE OF BRITAIN’S AGGRESSION. covered that ' With the invasion by Dr. Jameson, tkeadminbiratlon of the British South African Company, of the Transvaal and (be defeat of Ida forces there by tbe patriotic and hardy Boe nt, another chapter has been opened In the long •lory of British aggression and Boer rc•faoancc In South Africa. The Boers Lave au Ineradicable hatred for the British and very justly. The ancestors of the Boers settled the •Cape country* Id 1630 and remained In undisturbed possession for more than .* hundred years, until the colony was conquered by the English In the latter lialf of the last century. Even after the conquest, however, they remained until the arrival of British colonists In great numbers from 1825 to 1830 began to crowd them too much, when, as »nc man. tliey abandoned their homes, load­ ed their wagons and marched Into the Interior. After several halts they final­ ly settled In the Valley of the Orange Uiver. a great stream which flows al*n>ost across the continent, and there •founded a free state of their own. This movement of population took place be­ tween 1S32 nnd 1833. and for a number of *y?ara they remained unmolested. Some difficulties arising between them ;and the English in regard to bound­ aries. an agreement'was entered Into in 1852 by which the independence of ■the Boer state was acknowledged. For twenty-four years this arrangement was continued In force, but In the meantime the English colonies had ex­ pended so as once more to make them neighbors to the Boers. The latter had ■by this time also Increased and bad •peopled the country beyond tbe Vaal, known as the- Transvaal, and finding the encroachments of the English a constant source of annoyance, most of the Boers moved across Into tbe terri•tory beyond. They were not good colonisers In the paytafl ««• ment while not thavlng the slightest voice in its management. Naturally they felt aggrieved, and their discon­ tent waa fomented from Cape Town, the authorities there being anxious for tho annexation of tbe Transvaal to tho British dominions. The Jamieson raid waa evidently connived nt. if not planned. by tbs Cape authorities, and the result of that Ill-timed movement Is fresh In tbe memories of alL The sifc«-ess of the Boers against Ja­ mieson was due to the same causes thnt brought them succesa In previous contests with the English. Every Boor is, from his earliest years, n horseman and a hunter. The rifle Is an IndlsItensablo -part of his equipment, and he knows how fo use it well. The game of bis country Is the wariest known to the hunter, and only flrat-class shots can -bring It dojvn.

The British government has never been known to willingly concede anything, so that the Boers, If they gain the Independence they desire, will probably be compelled to do a good deal of fighting before It Is finally attained. From all accounts, however, they are quite ready, and even anxious, to tight, so that the Boer ques­ tion Is not likely to be settled by the diplomats.

Perhaps one of the best posted men in Washington on the subject is Senator Lodge, chairman of the Immigra­ tion Committee, and he has intro­ duced a bill in the Senate, the main feature of which la an educational test for imtnigriiiits. The question of regulating aud re­ stricting immigration, said Mr. Ixxige in a recent expression on the subject, is our of tbe gravest which now confront the country. Wo arc certainly in no present danger of being overcrowded by desira­ ble immigrants, but we nre at this mo­ ment overcrowded with undesirable immi­ grants, and this latter condition is stead­ ily growing worse. Tbe immigration of people of those races which contributed to the settlement and development of the United States is.declining in comparison with that of the rarerf far removed in thought and speech npd blood from the men who have made this country what it is. Moreover, nil Immigration from every quarter in showing a tendency toward de­ terioration. which Is by no means grad­ ual. The last census bulletin shows thnt utterly opposed Co a system which is con­ tinuously dragging down, the wages of American lubor by the introduction or the importation of the cheapest, lowest nnd most Ignorant labor of other countries. A short time ago a committee examined six ship loads of immigrants from Bre­ men, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Southampton and Liverpool and of 1,000 who were over 1G years of age '131 were illiterate. What becomes* of such illiterates is an-. wered by Carroll D. Wright, who says that i < jmt cent of the population of the slums of Baltimore, 90 per cent of the slum |>opulation of Chicago, 95 per cent of the slum population of New York and 51 per cent of .the shim population of Philadel­ phia are i»ersoiis of foreign birth or .par­ entage. At present there are three methods pro­ posed to restrict immigration. One >s to increase the cost of immigrating by imjaising a tax of from $25 to $50 on each im­ migrant. Another is by consular inspec­ tion abroad, by which only such immi­ grants as our consuls would approve of could enter the country. Tbe educational test of Senator Lodge will probably, how­ ever, be adopted.

Late in the day. too. came a report from Washington saying that the Morgan syndicate wa* only to get433,<MM.<MK> of the loan. This was a great surprise, as on Wednesday the general opinion of those who heard the reading of the bids was that Mr. Mor­ gan would get at least *50,006.000. and Mr. Morgan reported the treasury’ clerks trad given him *57jOOO,<MN) as hi* probable allotment. At the *ubtreasury in New York there was an inrush of gold for ex­ amination. which means that those who are in and above the Morgan bid are placing their gold for safe keeping in the treasury vault* until the arrival of the official notification that bonds have been allotted to them. . POSTAL REPORTS ON GOLD. Postmaster General Wilson ha* receiv­ ed rephes to all the 900 letter* *cnt a few weeks ago to first and ■ecoBd-claas post­ masters asking for the percentage of gold received at their offices. Hi* clerk* are now engaged in tabulating rhe percent­ ages, and the complete statement will soon be ready to give to the press. It will show that a considerable percentage of postofficc receipts is in gold coin, or its actual equivalent The Postmaster Gen­ eral will not «ay what action will be taken as a result of this inquiry, but ft may be that postnswters whose receipts in gold are reasonably large will be instructed to send the gold in future direef to the treas­ ury, instead*of depositing it in local banks with other i»ostoffiee n-ccipt*. By depos­ iting the gold the Government, in nearly every instance, loses it, and-it goes to increase the hoard of gold held by bank•ra. By sending it to the treasury or sub­ treasury, it could be used to replenish the gold reserve. BONDS SELL READILY. BUILDING BLOWN UP.

Cyclonic wind* and drenching rain swept toe entire North Atlantic coast Thursday. Ruin and death were left in the wake of the storm. Frequently a ve­ locity of seventy-five mile* an hour was reached by the wind. Shipping suffered severely, though the warnings to sailing ma*ters, given in ample time, kept nearly all the vessels in port. To the horrors of cyclone and flood that of fire was added at the village of Bound Brook. N. J-, which ha* been almost wiped out. While tbe storm wai at its height a gasoline stove exploded in a restaurant near a lum­ ber yard. Water was waist high in the street; fire apparatus could not be moved. Communication was quickly cut off and the last word received was from a tele­ phone subscriber who said he was stand­ ing in three feet of water, aud that for most of the population it was a case of burn to death, drown, or swim out. The dam at Pocahontas Lake broke and all the lower part of Morristown, N. J., was inundated. Twenty-five person* are miss­ ing. Their disappearance is creating in­ tense excitement. ADVOCATES A FORECLOSURE. Pacific Road* Be Bold.

He recommended that Con­ gress puss an act forfeiting the land* granted the two companies, with An ex­ emption in favor of bona fide purchasers from tbe railroads. If Congress did not legislate he would revoke his suspension orders and patent the lands to the roads. Pingree's Bold Words. Nine hundred people cheered Mayor Hazen 8.

A dispatch sent by Joseph Chamberlain, British Secretary of State for the Colo­ nie*. to Sir Hercules Robinson. Governor of Cap# Colony, reviews toe history of events iu the Transvaal aipce 1801, and point* out that the mining interests, the mainstay of tbe country, are mainly in the hand* of Che Uitlander*. who are de­ barred by legislation from the rights of citizenship. It states that the whole di­ rection of affair* and the right of taxation remain a monopoly in the hand* of a de­ creasing majority of the population en­ gaged in agriculture, while the majority, who raised the revenue from £75,000 to £2,000.000, are denied any voice in the government of toe Transvaal and are un­ able to obtain redress for the formidable grievances hampering and injuring them incessantly. Mr. Chamberlain empha­ sised the pacific and above-board charac­ ter of the Uitlander agitation, and recalls that the Uitlander*' petition* were re­ jected by the volksraad amid scornful laughter, one member of that body chal­ lenging the-Uitlander* to take up arm* and fight. He then proceeds to *tate the position of Great Britain and her claim* toward the Transvaal, saying: "Since the convention of 1884 Great Britain has rec­ ognized the Transvaal as independent in­ ternally, but its external relations are subject to the control of Great Britain. There is do reason to anticipate that a foreign state will dispute our rights, but it ia necessary to state clearly that the Government intends to maintain them in their integrity. Internally Great Britain i* justified, in the interests of South Af­ rica as a whole and for the peace and stability of toe Transvaal, to tender friendly counsel* regarding the newcom­ ers, mainly British subjects.” G.

The belated House tariff bill emerged from the Finance Committee In the Sen­ ate Tuesday, aud it had a free-silver sub­ stitute'attached. by a majority report of one in committee. No definite action wa* taken. Minor business was transacted in tbe House, aud tbe balance of toe ses­ sion wbs devoted to heated controversy over appropriations tor private and sec­ tarian charitable institutions in the Dis­ trict of Columbia. The Senate spent Wednesday in fruit­ less debate upon the tariff-ailver bill. In the House Delegate Catron (N.

The bill make* prise fighting a misdemeanor, punishable by imprison­ ment for not les* than one year. Mr. Catron asked for unanimous consent for consideration, but Mr. Knox (Rep., Mass.) objected and the bill whs referred, but subsequently was taken np and passed. The measure also prohibits bull fights. The House at:o began its debate on th* Senate free-coinage bond bill. The Catron anti-prize fight bill passed the Senate Thursday.

Nevertheless the pressure from member* for time to present their view* is so great that it seems possible now that the debate may continue indefinitely. Tbe House Friday was in an uproar most of the time because of a tilt between Talbert of South Carolina and Burrett of Massachusetts, over the former's defense of secession.

LAND DEFENSES MOST NEEDED. Admiral Walker Give* Hl* Views to the House Committee. Admiral Walker appeared before the Committee on Coast Defenses ia Wash­ ington and made an exhaustive statement on the subject of coast defenses from a naval point of view. The admiral stated that while of course he advocate* the construction of a thoroughly effective naval force he fully recognizes the abso­ lute necessity,of land defenses. He con­ siders one form of defense to be toe com­ plement of the other and both as necessary as cavalry and artillery are to an army. He deem* the land defenses to be a ne­ cessity as a mean* of protection to the country by leaving toe navy fr#6 to op­ erate outside, and affording safe place* of refuge in ease of tbe naval forev* being overmatched by a superior fleet of an enemy, also to afford the means of repair­ ing damages, and obtaining supplies and coal under the shelter and protection oi the forte. He stated that without toe land defenses our dockyards could be destroyed and our ship* pursued into port and anni­ hilated by a superior fleet. He also advo­ cates the building of battleship* rathet than harbor defense ve«sel* as being bet­ ter adapted for general purpoM* of attack and defense. RATES FOR SLEEPING CARS. Quoatiou Up Again Before ■ Bub-Com­ mittee of the House. The question of taking steps toward re­ ducing the rates charged by Hleeping aud palace car companies waa thrashed over by a sub-committee of tbe national House Committee on Commerce. A bill intro­ duced by Mr. Corliss of Michigan was before the committee, but after a long de­ bate it wa* decided to strike out all after the first section of tbe bitt and report that section to the full eoimmttee for consid­ eration. The first section proposes to ex­ tend the interstate commerce law so as to include sleeping or palace cars operated by common carriers engaged in interstate commerce. Judge Josiah W.

HAVE All Africa pays tribute to European Look at the map of It Scarcely a part of It la free from tbe dominion of the greedy foreigners. Dependence nnd tyranny reign in Africa. All South America Ik free. Look at Its map. Its shaded portion*, which mark tbe places where European governments hare found a foothold, arc Insignificant. In­ dependence and liberty reign In South America. These two map* graphically illus. trate the existing necessity for the en­ forcement of the Monroe doctrine. The United States does not propose to let South America become another Africa —another scene of bloody conquest and horrid outrage. E. J. Glane. who studied African out­ rages carefully, thus estimated: “The 'subjugation of Africa lias left a mark of blood across the history of these times. More than 1,500,000 persons have been slain directly or Indirectly by the explorers who have biased the way with gory marks, and the follow­ ing conquerors might almost have walked to victory over a corduroy road of corpses." Therefore, It Is not surprising that Presld; nt Mcnroe declared his now cele­ brated doctrine. Certainly It is enough that one continent should suffer so. We can only pity Africa, bat we can protect 'Sooth America. Of all that vast continent only two spota-one tiny Liberia, tbe other barbarous Morocco­ to-day remain Independent of European control, and It Is mostly within the past ten years that tbe great European powers have thus parcelled out Africa. Tbe nation and sovereign who subju­ gated these lands did not consult the natives, they merely killed them when­ ever they resisted. They are still klll‘ Ing them. Great Britain. France, Ger­ many. and Italy have all bad a share in tbe spolation, and the troop* of those nations are still engaged in hunting the Africans like wild beasts In order to compel them to acknowledge their new masters. Of coproe, the chief among the spoilers Is England, which lias an­ nexed Egypt and It* dependencies un­ der the cover of temporary occupation, and is now preparing to send an expe­ dition against Ashantee on the pre­ tence that the king of that independent African state has violated a treaty, but really to prevent the country from be­ ing seized by the French. The English, French. Germans and Italians are not In actual possession of all the territories in Africa over which they claim sovereignty, and In some In­ stances the natives are conducting a successful resistance to tbe Invaders. England has given up for the present her attempts to subdue the Egyptian Soudan. Italy has met repulse In Abyssianla. and in the French Boudan a gallant warfare Is being carried on by native princes, resolute in the determina­ tion not to accept the yoke of tbe stranger. So far, however, as-diplo­ matic agreement between the powers of Western Europe can accomplish the result intended. Africa independence has been extinguished, save for the feeble flicker of liberty'* torch at Mon­ rovia, and the fact that the spoilers have not yet been able to agree upon a division of Morocco. The so-called Congo Free State 1* marked as "Belgian," because It is simply a Belgian military station and trading post, under the Individual sovereignity of Leopold, Klug of tbe ■Belgians, who has bequeathed to Bel­ gium by will all his sovereign rights In the State. Tbe question at Issue re­ garding tbe Congo Free State la not what Belgium will do to develop it, but whether Prance or England will succeed in annexing It.

Shipping nattered severely, though the warnings to nailing masters, given Id ample time, kept nearly all the vessels in port. To tbe horrors of cyclone and flood that of fire was added at the village of Bound. Brook. N. J.. which wxi almost wiped out. It is said that fully forty bouses were destroyed by fire. Many of them, as they blazed, were swept from their foundation* into the rashing water* of the flood, communicat­ ing tbe conflagration to others, and In this way tbe fire spread more rapidly than It otherwise would. The dam at Pocahontas Lake, N. J., broke and all the lower part of the city wa* inundated. All day the melting snow swelled the stream* and poured into the lake, which is a mile and a half long by ered by eight Inches of ice, and the whole was held in check by the frailest and film*ie«t of wooden data*. The water rose to the top. Meanwhile the water rushing through tbe flume and from all the sewers had filled the Whippany river, which flows through Morristown, to the brim, and the water ran over. Crowds of people flocked down to view the spreading water*. Suddenly with' a great crash a section of the dam eighteen feet wide went down and-a wall of water six feet high swept Into the valley, quickly followed by thousand* of ton* of ice.

It Is not because European powers would not like to seize upon and parcel out South Ameri­ can If they could that this state of affairs exists. It Is because tbe United States has declared that there shall be no parcelling, that Europe must keep her hands off the American continent, and because Europe knows that the United States Is strong enough to back up the declaration. Africa has no na­ tive state powerful enough to make a similar stand, and the result Is seen In Cairo, in Antananarivo, In Zanzibar and Tlmbuctoo. where the ancient rulers have had to bow before alien masters, who have no rightful claim whatever upon their allegiance. The American people will continue to keep standing their notice to the pow­ ers of the old world that there is no room for slaughter and conquest here; that this side of the globe la reserved for governments of the people, and that the camel’s head of European ag­ gression will not be permitted to enter the tent of American liberty. That some of the European dynasties, not contented with their share in the partition of Africa, would turn longing eye* toward South America was to be expected, and It Is very likely that, if BritisJi encroachment In Venezuela had passed unchallenged. Germany might have found an excuse for landgrabblng at th? expense of the South American republics. The Kaiser sees that his efforts at colonization in German Africa and German Papua are failures, and ns his subjects are bound to emigrate to America, he would like to have them his subjects still. 11 is understood that Germany has for some time had designs on the Argentine republic, the most desirable part of South America for colonists from the temperate region of Europe, and. If the Monroe doctrine were out of the way. It Is more than probable that the Argentines would have to fight for their independence. nets*.

A work train with forty bridge repairers was sent to repair it, and while engaged in this work the structure collapsed, precipitating the workmen into the icy water below.

United State* Minister Terrell has de­ manded of Turkey an indemnity of $100.­ 1)00 for the burning and pillaging of the American mission* at Mnrash and Kharput. He alao asked for the immediate granting of firmans for rebuilding them. Reports from Turkish sources, believed to be fairly accurate, say that it ia be­ lieved that tbe Zeitounli* are still bold­ ing out. The Turks have made reven dif­ ferent attacks upon the town, but all have failed, and their losses are reported to amount to 10,000. It is alleged that 30,000 troop* will be needed to capture Zeitoun. It i* believed that the Zeitounli* number from 13.000 to 20.000, well armed, ind provisioned for a year.

Two year, ago last September I imtlced an account of Dr. Williams’ rink Fill* for Pale People, anil what they had <ione for other*, and some cam-m so nearly resembled mine that I waa interested. Hut 1 did not know whether the testimonial* were genuine or not, and I did not wish to be humbugged, ao I wrote to one who had given a testimonial, an eminent professor of music in Canada. The reply I received was even stronger than the printed testimonial, nnd it gave inr faith in the medicine. " I began taking the pilla and found them to be all that the protestor had told me they would be. Il wa* two or three months l>efure I experienced any p»'reeptiblc betterment of my condition. Mv disease was of »uch long standing that I did not expect .«pc«ly recov­ ery, and was thankful even to be relieved. I progres«r<i rapidly, how ever, towards recovery, and for the last six month* have felt myself a perfectly well man. I have recommended the pills to many people, and am only too glad to assist others to health through the medium of this wonderful medicine. I cannot say too much for whal it hat done for me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pnle People have an mormon* sale, and from al) quarter* come in glowing reports of the excellent re­ sults following their use. An analysis prove* that they contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richnou to the blood and restore shuttered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such dis­ ease.- as locomotor ataxia, partial paralyai*, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma­ tism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale nnd sal­ low complexions, that tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration; all diseases result­ ing from vitiated humors in the blood, such bs scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also u specific for troubles peculiar to females such a.* suppressions, irregularities, and al! forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sal­ low checks. In men they effect a radical cure in all case* arising from mental worry, over­ work or excesses of whatever nature. There an- u<> ill effect* following the use of this vonderful medicine, and it can be given to chil­ dren with perfect safety.

It is called the “Justice” picture, from tbo name oY its owner, James M. Justice. Mr. Justice died at his home in Logansport. Ind., in 1889, and the portrait was left by will to his daughters. Mrs. A. C. Patterson and Miss Maibelle Jus­ tice, who now reside in Chicago. Mr. Justice’s death was sudden and he left no written record of the history of the picture. Its present owners say it was painted in I860 and was carried as a ban­ ner through the campaign of that year, it is about GxlO feet, and the figure of Lincoln is a little larger than life size. It was attached to a pole and not stretched. The name of the artist is supposed to be most amusing.

Jus­ tice-first saw it during the war, when it was carried by a regiment of Indiana vol­ unteers in which he had enlisted. It was twice captured and recaptured. It waa captured a third time, and Mr. Justice lost track of it for several years. He wns determined to get it. however, and finally found it after the war in an old warehouse in Georgia among the effects ‘of a man who had been killed in battle. Mr. Jus­ tice restored it, had it framed, and gave it the place of honor in his law office in Monticello. Ind. Later he moved to Ix>gnnsport. Ind., where the picture remain­ ed until recently.

The Lincoln homestead stands on the northeast corner of Eighth and Jackson streets, Springfield, 111. Mr. Lincoln bought It in 1840. It was.then a story and a half house, but subsequently raised to two stories. It is a plain frame struc­ ture and contains twelve rooms.. Mr. Lin­ coln lived there fifteen years; in fact, un­ til he departed for Washington on the 12th of February, 1861, to take tbe Presi­ dential chair. A family by the name of Tilton occupied the house during the war. and in those four years 65,000 people vis­ ited the house. Since then hundreds of thousands have passed in and out of its door. 'These included men nnd women representing every civilized nation of the earth, and some of the barbarous ones, too. for that matter. Nome years ago John Philip Sousa, then the leader of the Marine Band, gore a matinee In Springfield.

When Abraham Lincoln left Springfield Feb. 11. 1861, to assume his duties nnd rs;>onsibilities as President of the na>>n. a great crowd of people assembled t the railway station to bid him good-by. le was overcome with emotion and he •roceeded to say a few words to the people -vho stood closely packed around. It vas the last utterance of this grand man :o his neighbors and friends. He said: "My Friends: No one, not in my posi­ tion, can appreciate the sadness 1 feel nt tnis parting.

The l>elated tariff bill emerged from theSenate Finance Committee Tueaday and made Its appearance Boon after the ses­ sion opened. (Jhairmnn Morrill made the rej»rt. staring that a free silver amend­ ment had taken the place of the original bill. Mr. Quay had remained standing while Mr. Morrill sjx>ke and at once fol­ lowed with a mothwi to recommit the bill and substitute back to the Finance Com­ mittee with iustrnctiumitn,report the orig­ in*) bill and amendment separately. Tbe sliver suisrtitute to the tariff bill reported to the Senate waB suggested by Senator Vest and waa agrwd to in the Finance Committee by a majority of 1, Senator Jones (Nev.) voting with the Democrat* for the substitute and all the Republicans present voting against it. Senator Wol­ cott (Colo.) wns the only Republican ab­ sentee and he waa recorded as voting against the substitute. Senator Jones (Ark.), the only Democratic member not present, was recorded ns voting for it. The substitute agreed to to in the exact words of the silver substitute for the bond bill which passed tbe Senate on Saturday. It provides for the free coinage of silver nt the ratio of 16 to 1; directs the Imme­ diate coinage into standard dollars of the silver seigniorage in the treasury accumu­ lated by the purchases under the Sherman act; prohibits the issuance of national bank notes of a smaller denomination than $10, and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem greenbacks nnd treas­ ury notes in either gold or silver exclu­ sively, at the option of the Secretary, and to rvtosue greenbacks.__________ Four thousand six hundred and forty blds for $658,269,850 worth of bonds was the tremendous total of the subscriptions opened at the Treasury Department in accordance with rhe. terms of tbe call is­ sued a month ago inviting proposals for $100,000,000 of United States 4 per cent l>on<to to run for thirty years from Feb. 1, 1895. These figures do not include about $120,000,(XA) of bids rejected as bogus. The immense offerings astounded experts. The blds literally swamped the Treasury Department. At 6 o'clock it was impos­ sible to tell with definiteness bow many bids and for what aggregate had been re­ ceived at figures In advance of the price of 110.6877, at which a syndicate com­ posed of J. I’. Morgan & Co., Harvey Fiak & Co. and the Deutsche Bank of Berlin offered to take tbe whole loan. The bids ranged from par up to a single $50 bid at 150. The public gets from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 of the $100,0004)00 popular loan, and the Pierpont Morgan syndicate secures the remainder on a bid of 110.6877 for $100,000,000. Treasury officials regard the loan as a complete success, both as to the popular subscription feature and the prices ob-> toined. Bids came frofc several thou­ sand individuals and from hundreds of na­ tional banks nnd other banking institu­ tions. Nearly all of the leading New York KAFFIR CORN IN SOUTH DAKOTA JOHN O. CABLIHLE. (Secretary of the Treasury.) bankers and big insurance companies were represented in the list of bidders, but with a few exceptions they were outmaneuvered by the Morgan syndicate.

The bonds are redeemable in coin, nnd will l>e issued in denominations of $50 or multiples of that sum as may be desired by the bidders. Only United States gold coin or gold certificates will be received in payment. Under the terms of, the Sec-‘ rotary’* circular the first payment of 20 per cent nnd accrued Interest must be made upon receipt of notice of the accept­ ance of the bid. The remainder of the amounts bid may be paid iu installments of 10 per cent earth nnd accrued interest nt the end of each fifteen days thereafter. Accepted bidders, however, are allowed to pay the whole amount of their bids at the time of the firxt installment, or at any tinft* previous to th« maturity of the last installment, provided that all previ­ ous installments have been paid. The bonds will be dated Feb. 1. 1895, to run thirty years from that time, and will therefore mature Feb. L 1925. Accord­ ing to the calculations of the actuary of the treasury a bidder, in order to realize 2^ per cent interest on hit*investment, should have offered $130.8749 for each $100 in bonds bid for. Blds for Previous Loans. For tbe 5 per cent loan of Feb. 1, 1894, there were in all 238 blds, representing $52,292,130. Of this amount $42,996,850 was bid for at the upset price of $117,223, and $0,295,300 at it price in excess of that figure. The amount awarded was $50,000,000. upon which the Government realized a premium of S8.633.295. For the 5 pt'r cant loan of Nor. 13, 1894, for which there was no upset price, the Government received 394 bids, amount­ ing to $178,341,150. The amount of the bids received at $116.8898 was $50,000,­ 000: amount below that rate, $61,776,100; 1 nt rates between $116.8898 and $117,077. $5,629,800; at $117,077. $30,000,000, made by the Morgan-Belmont syndicate. The amount bid st rates above $117,077 was $10,935,230. The syndicate bid wns ac­ cepted, the Government realizing a pre­ mium of $8,538,500. The gold purchase of Feb. 8, 1805, was for 3,300.000 ounces, payable In United States 4 per cent ismds. The bid of the Morgan sywdicate to furnish the gold was accepted. Tbe Government, under the terms of this agreement, issued iKrnds amounting to $62,315,400. for which the syndicate paid at the rate of- $104.4946 per $100, the Government thus realizing a premium of $2,800,844.

Interesting Results of Experiment* Made by Farmers Last Year. A detailed description of the new fa­ mous Kaffir corn in an article from Guth­ rie, Ok., nnd first printed a few week* ago in the columns of the Globe-Demo­ crat, has been widely copied by the news­ papers of the Northwest and has aroused much discussion among the farmers of South Dakota as to the adaptability of Kaffir corn to that climate. Last year end prior a few farmers in the State pro­ cured small quntititics of this seed and ex­ perimented with it, nud the results of these experiments are interesting. T. B. Strong, a farmer and ranchman on White River, in the ceded Sioux lands,-had a field of corn which yielded fully up to exiH*ctations. He declares that It is the very best kind of feed for any kind of stock. I'. J Gerin, a Chamberlain busi­ ness man, experimented last season with n small field of ordinary Indian corn and Kaffir corn. The ordinary corn was irri­ gated several times, while the Kaffir com received only the natural rainfall, which was much below norma). Still, the Kaffir corn grew as fast as the other, was green and healthy looking during the very driest periods of the summer, proving, in this instance, at least, that it can withstand drought to the degree claimed for it. In referring to a newspajier statement warn­ ing fanners to go slow in pnng into the cullureof Kaffir corn, F. D. Hyer, a prom­ inent farmer of Hanson County, says that three years ago he risked a dime for ■ seed. This year he has ten bushels of seetl and next spring will put in all be can cultivate. He declares that he finds noth- HAMPLE OF KAFFIR OOBN. iug that excels it for feed and nothing that stands the dry. hot winds, and always kre-ps growing like It. His experience show* that the Kaffir corn, in his region, should be put into the ground as early as other com, and the more it to culti­ vated the better; that it can Iw cut for feed three times in oarly summer. While there seems to be a good deal to 1m» said in favor o' the new corn, there are, of course, two sides to the question as applied to a region so far north a» South Dakota. A resident of Watertown, who spent fifteen years in South Africa^ the region from which the corn wasbronght to this country, saw tbe com grow there time »nd again, and expressed the opinion that it will not prove a auc<-ess in the Dakota climate. He ha» never witnessed any experiments with It here, however, therefore his opinion is wholly su|>erficial. but adds that he doe* know that even in the warm climate of A trim ibe com crop waa a failure for three or four seasons.

Over city roads, where deep mud or snow Ls seldom found, the paeing-galtcd horse makes a model roadster, provided he has the disposi­ tion and individual qualities; without no horse, trotter or pacer, is qualified to become a perfect road horse. That those qualities are found among pacers with os much uniformity as among trotters Is evident from the number found In the stables of men who know and drive none but a pretty nearly per­ fect rural horse. Cheap Fertilizers. “There are concerns that are putting out goods which analyze high, but which are not chemically and agricul­ turally right," says the Agriculturist “In a wet warm long season they would be all right but In a cold, dry season they would not act These points are not emphasized enough by the experiment stations, whether ths mixtures are made at home or by manu­ facturers. We can make up a crude fer­ tilizer out of fish and kalnlt, cheap, bat to risk Important crops on such goods would be worse than folly. Having prepared the ground and planted It with good seed, and done the boat he could, thtf farmer ought certainly to Insure hte crop by applying those forma of plant food, whether he mixes them at home or buys them mixed, that will insure the best results.'' This te true, even though it be written by a manu­ facturer. Fanning te no longer land-skinning, but land-culture. This reminds the editor of Coleman's Rural World of a story told by Hon. Charles R. Dabney, the assistant secretary of agriculture. A German called ujx>n him who had been studying the agriculture of this country for the sake of what he coaid learn and carry back home, and Mr. Dabney was startled to hear the for­ eigner say: "Y<ra have no fanners In this country." The foreigner had been visiting some of the large cornfields of the West and cotton plantations of the South, and had jumjied at the conclu­ sion that American agriculture was not farming, but simply "land-skinning." Tbe German's Idea of farming was scientific cultivation of the soil in such a way as to produce the largest possi­ ble crops nt the least possible cost, and at the same time leave the land In a better condition.

CONTRASTED WITH NAPOLEON. |OW shall any man add aught to the praise or eulogy of George Washing­ ton? History and biography, eloquence and poetry have ex­ hausted their com­ bined* riches upon the successful leader of the American ev­ olution. ' and the founder of the Amer­ ican republic—our first great national Every great criaia in tbe history of the world has found its man to control and guide it. Call this Providence, or accident, the American to it. Berevolntion ’was no __ exception __ . fore the first munfiun of discontent were heard in that struggle the man was being prepares! for the crisis. On the banks of the Potomac and the Rappahannock, thir­ ty years before Lexington and Bunker Hill, a-truthfnl and manly boy was growiogop, ripening into stalwart young man­ hood. ‘ With only the common school ed­ ucation of that early day. the young man wag soon being educated ip tbe broader school of nature and experience, in the great forest, under the open heavens., with his surveyor's chain and his sword, in Indian wars, defending the frontier settlements from savage incursions. Growing still apace, the manly young Virginian is soon the leading spirit aud military commander of nil that Potomac region, and his skill, endurance and cour­ age in those campaigns swell the measura of his fame. Then with the peace, the young commander lays aside the sword, marries and settles upon his inherited country seat at Mt. Vernon, aud like his ancestors is now a rich landed proprietor, a Virginia former and planter aud country gentleman. So he might have remained to the end. bad not tije voice of patriotism called him to take part with bis neigh• tant, tho teacher knew very little about orthography. At least he taught young George very little, for his spelling would drive a modern schoolmaster to drink. Possibly it was his pupil's inability or lack of desire to leant to spell that brought about the lack of cordiality that is said to have existed between them, though it :» stated on excellent authority that in i very short time after entering Hobby's school the pupil knew as much if not more than the master. Washington, pore, died in 1743, when Washington, fils, was but 11 years old. He then went to live with bis half­ brother Augustine and attended a school kept by a man named Williams. There ho studied no language but the English, and, thd story goes, devoted little atten­ tion to that, confining himself principally to mathematics. Thia stood him in good stead when he became a surveyor. The future general and first President of this republic. at the time be went to school to Mr. Williams, was tall, activs and muscular and was so generally con­ sidered quite capable of thrashing any one of his companions that no one evei had the temerity to pick a quarrel with Keep Your Best Marcs.

Farmers Must Read More. Farmers, sonic of them, claim they have no time for study and-for read­ ing; that hard labor commands their full attention. True, fanners must work, but they can think while they work, says the Maine Farmer. HI nee tho work and the study are allied to each oilier, the one aids the other rath­ er than Interferes.with it. Wc know a hard-working farmer, and one well m-hooled In the principles Involved in bis business, who says his best thoughts are born while his hands are employ* rd In his work. It Is a common prac­ tice with him to carry pencil and pa­ per in his pocket, and from time to time to note down Ideas as they occur and conclusions as reasoned out. So, too, reading, even extensive read­ ing, may not interfere with work. Reading may lie done In snatches of time otherwise not taken up. and which occur, with everyone,* however busy worker* they may lie, almost every day. They can read in these leisure moments, then think It over and study Its teachings while at work. We have in mind a well-known writer of onr time on agricultural topics, and an nctnowledgcd authority, of whom it wag said by a domestic in the family: "Well may hr know something, for he never sits down a moment in the house without a book or a paper in his hands." Tills rending and study Is much as the Individual cultivates a taste for It. If the farmer really desires a knowledge of his business, he can easily find the lime for rending and study, aud that, too. without In any degree interfering with his work. In’ fact, labor Is pleasanter, is lighter and easier with the mind engaged In study­ ing the secrets otherwise Involved In the work carried on. So. t<% the farm­ er reads and studies to liest advantage who Is carrying on the work he Is at the same time Investigating. That farmer also succeeds best who knows most about his business. colt. Let him circle around until well tired out. before going up to Ills head. As soon as possible take two half hitch­ es (Fig. 1) around his nose; take the bend of the lower hitch, pass it under the other from the top downwards, then up over the ears, lowienlng the rope in hand as you go.

With the latitude that is now permissi­ ble, there is no excuse for an unbecom­ ing or unsuitable bat. and the woman that wears such should rightly feel the law’s heavy hand.

The fold takes remotely the out­ line of a hat, and wire holds whatever shape it has, though when it is on the bead It looks as If It wasn't meant to come off. <>n the hat pf this sort that appears nt the head ot this column, a series of tbe very popular crepe j»opples Is set above the edge of tbe vel­ vet; making as much of a brim as the hut can boast. These popples are as big us your hand, and may be bigger if tbe bat is large euoqgli to stand It. They are merely soft rosette* of -crepe of some delicate shade, and In the ven­ ter of the rosette Is set a whirl of pop­ py stamens. That’s your poppy. Whole hats are made of such, and It Is permis­ sible—that. they should quite swamp the velvet ‘so that only an edge of it shows against the hair. At one side a flare of aigrette rises, at the back tbe edge or brim naroows till It Iles against tbe hair, and the top presents a creas­ ed surface of the velvet, so that the aigrette shows in all views. The loose drawing of the hair from the brow, temples and sides of the face has exerted a far greater Influence on recent millinery than most women re­ alise. Such dressing of the locks abso­ lutely demands a setting of picturesque outline In tbe hat. The method follow­ ed by tbe best milliners this season la to build od a very small foundation a hat of large surface and brim, after the manner of the second pictured one. The building Is done by weaving In and out along tlie narrow brim of tbe foun- AI.MOST BIDDEN BY TRIMMING. da t Ion great loqps of soft velvet or silk. These loops spread in different direc­ tions, making a soft and irregular wide brim that bends to the shape of the head and that seta softly against the wave of tbe hair.

To give the need­ ed touch of audacity without which the modern girl of the moment would seem merely comtnonplaee, a pair of plumes is set in Trout, upstanding smartly, their tips nodding in different directions.

The brim itself Is softened in effect by set­ ting net or law against It: indeed, by the time the milliner has completed her transformation of tbe hat not an inch of Its original surface Is visible or of outline is to be trac<*d.

Alonzo Walling and Wm. Wood es­ cape the extreme penalty in the Cincinnati courts. The morning of Saturday, Feb. 1, there was found at Fort Thomae, Ky.. the headless corpse of a young woman. For a time. Identification,waa impossible. But inquiry was being made for Pearl Bryan, a Greencastle girl, who had left her lwm<j with the avowed purpose of visiting a friend nt Indianapolis. She was nccompanied to tho train by Wm. Wood, sou of a Methodist minister, and went to Indian­ apolis, stopping there only between trains. She then went on to Cincinnati. Nothing was tlfought of her temporary absence from home: but when the limo came for her return, and she came not. tbe family begnn to wonder. Then came the account of finding the headiest body of a woman near Cincinnati, and the announcement that tbe corpse wore shoes that hnd been purchased from Louis & Hays, of Green­ castle. After that identification was quick and certain, nnd investigation led to the arrest of . the three men named. Jackson and Walling were students at the Ohio Dental College at Cincinnati. They and Wood are raid to have been inti­ mate with the girl. But a maze of contra­ dictory confessions by all of them has made impoasible the fixing of direct re­ sponsibility; and thia confusion is com­ plicated* by the assertion of Lulu May lloilingsworth, of Indianapolis, a friend of Pearl’s.

It had lieen upon a ’•siding.” and by some accident had startl'd with no one on lioard. Indeed, when I caught sight of it. a man was in furious pursuit, but was being fast left behind. 1 made a rush for our conductor, but he had already taken the alarm aud or­ dered the engineer to put on all steam. Do all the engineer could, however, the coal train gklued upon us every mo­ ment, aud it noon became apparent that our only salvation lay in the ikwsiblllty that the wild train would jump the track before overtaking us. That waa a very slight chance, for our train was shaking so that it was all we could do to keep our places. Home of tbe men were with the great­ est difficulty restrained from jumping off, but the only woman on board, a PRESIDENT WOOLSET. pleted piaster cast of the statue wan shipped from New Haven to New York, to be cast.

Wet feet do not directly make the germs of consumption appear In the lungs; but they do cause coughs and colds and Inflam­ mation of the throat and lungs; weaken the whole system. In this condition the germs of consumption find just the soil In which to work. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod­ liver Oil, with Hypophos­ phites, Is a most valuable rem­ edy for restoring the system to health before these germs get the upper hand. Nothing to SaINDUSTRIAL POINTS. A COMPANY with 11000,000 capital has been organized at Juarez, Mexico, to work tbe coal lands adjacent to that dty. Aroostook county. Me., one of the biggest potato-growing districts in the east, will put about 6,000,000 bushels of potatoes on the market this season. A company producing only one form Pf one part of n bicycle, the jointless rim, covers two acres of ground with its works at Birmingham, England. There is a little village named Mark­ neukirchen in Saxony where every working person—men. women and chil­ dren—is engaged in the manufacture of violins. The Brewers’ Journal states that English syndicates have 101,000.000 in­ vested in American breweries, tlie divi­ dend on which, at 9 per cent., last year was 58,190,000, and was paid in gold.

ANIMAL SUPERSTITIONS. To kill a martin in all folklore is considered unlucky. In all lands ravens and crows have been considered birds of evil omen. In South Italy there is a belief that the chameleon takes no focxf but air. The natives of India believe that ele­ phants have a religion and form of wor­ ship. A hundred years ago all naturalists taught that^the pelican fed its young with its own blood. A great many country people believe that the screeching of the owl indicates impending calamity. In the mountains of Italy there is a superstition that young vipers eat up their own mothers. In England it is believed that hedge­ hogs foresee and by their uneasy actions foretell a coming storm. In Dalmatia it is an exceedingly sus­ picions omen for a cat to sneexe when • bride enters her new home. German children in the mountains of Silesia devoutly believe that beetles are both deaf and blind. IMPERSONAL MENTION. A man who has been an inmate of the Allegan county (Mich.) poorhousc for forty-seven years died there recent­ ly at the age of seventy-three years. At Diss, m Norfolk, a husband and wife, who had lived to be ninety-three together, died within a few hoars of each other recently and were buried together.

RELIGIOUS NAMES. Tue Arminians took their name from their leader. A rmininn, born in 1566, died in 1609. Their doctrines are still held by several Methodist bodies. The Bernardinos were so named from St. Bernard, who founded the famous hospice in tbe Alpine pass which bears his name, about 902. The Gnostics were thus named from the Greek word meaning "to know." They claim a larger share of revelation than fell to the lot of others. Protehtants were ot first so called because their representatives protested at the Diet of Spiers, in 1520, against the action of the emperor. • The Camisards, a French religious sect, were so called from the smock frock worn by the peasant*, who con­ stituted tho larger part of their num- : Will Edward and wife Tlsited at Frank Leon­ strained had disrobed btmself.

It.has several excellent natural harbors, but owing CU1KEK ■ CHRISTIAN. to the 'Turkish system of letting every­ thing go to ruin, they are almost chok­ ed up with sand. The town* of Crete, like other Ottoman towns, are not bad looking from n distance, for, from some strange freak of human nature, the Turks religiously whitewash every house and wall once or twice a year, so that a Turkish town looks ns though built of marble.

A SPHAKIOTE HAKVESTEK. and. indeed, every year they find it harder to bear, because every year, the increasing poverty of the Ottoman Gov­ ernment and of Its local officials makes the demand for money more merciless. There Is. however, constant friction between the Cretans and their bnital masters, and hardly a twelvemonth paKses without insurrections breaking out in one or another part of tbe islaml.

As already Intimated. In­ surrections have been very numerous, but the last serious one. involving the population of the whole Island, broke out in 1»W. Like every other move­ ment of the kind, it began in n protest against excessive taxation, and in a few days from its first appearance the whole Islam! was lu arms. Women aud children were hurried off into the mountain caves, while the men organ­ ized themselves into bands aud began a relentless warfare against tbe Turks. Large bodies ot Turkish troops were dispatched to tbe island under the command of no less a leader than the celebrated Osinar I’asltn, nnd from' April to September a number of desper­ ate battles were fought between the in­ surgents and the Turkish regular*. Sometimes tbe advantage remained with one. sometimes with the othei ■ide, but the Turks were signally beaten at every attempt to penetrate tlu» mountains, and an armistice was de­ clared pending the arrival of of the Grand Vizier, All Pasha, who proclaim­ ed n general amnesty. But the Insur­ gents did not want amnesty, they want­ ed Independence, or, at the least, the right of self-government, and the war begun again and raged until 18GU. when it was closed by the intervention of tho powers, the unfortunate Cretans gain­ ing little but reputation of living des­ perate fighters. lu the seventeenth century another desperate struggle was waged nnd dur­ ing tin* siege of the city of Caudlu 30.­ 000 Christians and 70,000 Turks were killed. A RATTLESNAKE DEN. Home of Myriads of Reptile* Acci­ dentally Discovered. Rattlesnake Creek, a smnll stream that empties Into the Wabaah River from the north a few miles from Lock­ port, is one of the most beautiful and picturesque streams iu Northern Indi­ ana. One of the descendants of a pio­ neer settler In that region yesterday re­ lated the story that gave the name ta this stream. Several miles up from the mouth of tbe creek, near where the two main branches which form the stream meet, lived, Mort Ellis, al>out fifty year* ago. The pioneer's cabin stood on the brow of a long bill, nt the foot of which was a spring which supplied the family with water. In those early days rattle­ snakes were quite numerous, and es­ pecially so in tbe Ellis neighbor howl, and the father cautioned bls tour little girls to be very careful in their play lest they ta/bitten. One Sabliatii afternoon, as the children were playing In the ynnl. one of the little girls, now Mrs. Alice \Wltaou. of Kokomo, suddenly^ broke through the ground aud fell into an aperture up to her arms. Her cries soon brought out the family, and in <lrawing her from tlie cave three rat­ tlesnakes were found hanging to her clothing. Dowu in the small cave could be seen many other poisonous reptiles. Although it was the Sabbath, and Mr. Ellis was a devout Quaker, yet he deemed the occasion oue of moment, and he sent for several of bls neigh­ bors, ami. with them, attacked the den of snake*, aud when they got through with their work 521 dead rattlers were piled up in tbe yard. An examination disclosed the fact that the spring at tho foot of the hill from which tbe family ased water was connected by a passage to the snakes’ den.—Indianapolis Nows.

In Syria, near Damascus, there is said to grow a humming bird plant, the flower of which bears a close resem­ blance to a humming bird. The breast is red, tlie wings aro a dark green, the back yellow, the head and tail a olulsh black. In the neighborhood of Shanghai, China, there grow san herb known as the laughing plant, the flower* and seeds of which when eaten are said to cause the same effect os that produced by the laughing gus sometimes used by dentists. One of the must singular peculiarities of the floral world is the evening prim­ rose. which opens about six o'clock p. m. with an explosion not very loud nor formidable, but still quite perceptible to anyone who is watching th®bud. It remains open al) night. The mountain daisy is so sensitive to light, or, rather to a lack of it, that during the passage of a cloud it will close ita petals. When closed it is exceed­ ingly inconspicuous, ita flower appear­ ing like a small green bulb or curled up leaf. The Virginia spider-wort is apparent­ ly unable to endure a high temperature.

FOBBID DEATH DANCE OSAGE INDIANS MUST CEASE THEIR CUSTOM. Barbarous Practice Would Kill the Last Remnant of the Tribe—Seven Baltimore People Feri*h by Fire— Mn, Marshall Field Dead. Against Death Dancers. Chief IMwIt. the head medicine man of thc Osage tribe of Indiana, and the active politician, has issued an imperative order discontinuing death dances in the nation. When an Osage dies, according to a longestabliithtxl custom, all bis-relatives go absolutely naked until the death dame, ■which occurs thirty day* after the fatal­ ity. Thia custom of going naked bus play* ed havoc with them, making them subject to cwkls that invariably ended in conMimpiton. Seven per cent of the adult* of the tribe ore now in the last stages of vomtutniUion. ami it is thia alarming fact that .called forth the edict. The Impor­ tance of the measure is so great that death dances will be trcasuu against the nation. ______ SEVEN MEET DEATH. Fearful Death Roll at a Private Resi­ dence Fire.

M1M1OKB IN fearcsas of Ca*grca*t>osHO Board hoc Largely to Women Workers. Ths American Board of Missions of the Congregational Church baa made public a tqx'eisl report on Japan and Japanese missions. The missiourfirs o' tbe board, it is said, unlike some others have never ta-en pastors of churches, nor hare they to any great extent acted as such, even temporarily. Many chapels where no church organisation exists nr© conducted by some self-supporting native church, or else by such a church and mission co-ope­ rating. Some chapels, however, hare been conducted as purely missionary en­ terprises. One unique feature of the work has been the theater meetings, ■ which were much in favor when things foreign were popular; but tbe "big preach." as it was called, baa for the most part fallen into disuse. Whatever of success the mission has had has been due in no small degree to the women in it. They have done a great deal of work for the education of girls; have trained most efficient women to work among women; but there has been added a regular train­ ing school for-Bible women, where cnndl-. dates study half the year and go out to service the other months. The women hare exerted great influence in Japanese families. The mission hris worked ener­ getically on educational lines. Tbe Jap­ anese churches are not able to evaugalize the great middle and lower classes with anything like- the expedition they them­ selves desire. It is estimated that 37,000,­ 000 of the population of 42,000,000 are still worshipers of idols. PLEADS FOR THE CUBANS. BOMB FKOM THE SKY. COMET APPROACHING AT A TER­ RIFIC RATE.

This calculation implies that tbe comet, which is now 40.000.(UM miles away, will nut alter It# prcoeutvelocity of 1,000,000 miles a day. nor deviate from its present course, which is directly toward thr earth. Prof. I^?nschnrr .says, however, there is do cause for alarm. Hr has fig­ ured out that thc comet will take a new •tack March 1 and sheer off from the earth. The calculations made, at the State Uni­ versity are the official figures. STRIKE IB NOW ON. Chicago Gnrmeat Cutters Hare Ro»olvcd to Quit Work. Tbe Chicago Garment Cutter*’ **d Trimmers’ Union derided early Thursday morning to strike, and by their action 20,(MX) persotJ will l»e thrown out of employ­ ment. Some of the clothing manufactur­ ers are exempt from thr decision of tbe union because they have acceded to the terms of the cutter*. But of the DOO members of the union about 730 decided to quit work. This decision will, of course, affect thc taljors, binders and sweatshop workers who do not belong to any union. The manufacturers declare they can bold out against thr cutler* because the spring trade is over. But the cutters assert that the clothing bouses are full of heavy­ weight goods for the fall and winter trade, which must be got out of the way in a few weeks. Consequently a bitter fight is expected, and the union is prepared for a long siege because it hns got the savings of two years to keep up tbe strug­ gle. The union demands a maximum rate of >20 a week for cutting the maximum amount of fourteen suits a -day. The manufacturers’ association declared that ftiis is a discrimination against the good workmen, who are worth >22 a week, while the poor cutters are assessed in val­ ue at from >11 to>lG a week.

All thr men wep« nt work and not a sound of warning was emitted from the depths of the earth when- three score men were employed in their dangerous calling., nnd there on the surface were indulging in some 4>y-play whiln waiting the change of force* that eanic with the noon hour. Ed Welch was "riding the rope." a per­ formance that, while regarded as hazard­ ous. wax accepted as n •luring exploit and only indulg<>d iu by there whore familiar­ ity with thc mine made them foolhardy. A little crowd of 'miners nnd carmen were nt the side of the slope that !e<l to the workings. Welch appeared at rhe open­ ing ami was gri’etcd with a cheer by the bystanders. Then the earth trembled and the ground bivived as in trouble and with the throes of- an unseen disturbance. Welch was hurled through space ■ and landed on the mountain side 4D0 feet away. For almost ten minutes the fate of those in the workings of the mine was not ques­ tioned. and then tlie horror began to steal over the faces of the survivors a* they realised that not a soul of the day fort* would escape. Then the alarm was spread with nil the rapidity of the railroad* and telcgDaph and assistance was summoned from the mines in the vicinity. Where the ontrnnei- to the mine hail once Imm-u there was nothing to indicate the locality but a yawning chasm that extendi’d from the side of the mountain to the other side of tbe gnh-h. It was prob­ ably 300 feet wide, nnd from the depths of thc yawning creriis- came forth awful odors that aickened thc spectators.

Approaching parties reporteti that the ground near the former mouth of the mine was unstable, and that another col­ lapse from the surface was likely to occur at auy moment, enveloping nil within reach. Various attempts were made time and again to rea.-h the edge of the gap by men equipped with respirators, but each time they returned to announce failure. i The management insists that the re­ ported loss of life is not as bad as first accounts say. but there is apparently no ho|»e for a single survivor, according to the judgnnfit of men who have been em­ ploy ed in the mine.

When the men were, called up for in­ struction* both agreed not Io hit in clinches and to break aVay clean, even when one arm was fret1. Maher, who claims be did nor agree to this, struck Fitz in the face in burking away from the first clinch. ’There were loud cries of ••foul" from the New Zealander’s owner. Raferee Siler warned Maher not to do it again. . The fight, though xhi-rt. was full of ac­ tion. and it wax fight all the .way through. Both men started in from the l»ell ring to make a hot .pan-.

TAKE RIPANS TABULES RIPANS TABULES RIPANS TABULES RIPANS TABULES Ripans Tabules act gently but promptly upon the liver, stomach and intestines; cleanse the system effectually; cure dyspepsia, habitual constipation, offensive breath and headache. One Tabule taken at the first indication of indigestion, biliousness, dizziness, distress after eating or depression of spirits, will surely and quickly remove the whole difficulty. Ripans Tabules are prepared from a prescription widely used by the best physicians, and are presented in the form most approved by modern science. If given a fair trial Ripans Tabules are an infallible cure; they contain nothing injurious and are an economical remedy. One gives relief.

Mrs. Stowe was now famous.

The fact that she continued to write for many years, aud that no one of her interesting works ever approach­ ed "Uncle Tom’s Cabin." cither in pop­ ularity or |»w«£ of creative genius, goes far to strengthen this assumption. However this may be. it may fairly ta presumed that the results of her work went far beyond any conceptions she may have had of Its results.

Au nbMTvisnt dairyman writes that In his parr of thr country well-kept farms and well-bred cattle are always found together, while run-down places and scrub cattle go hand in iuind. These conditions prevail everywhere where men stop long enough to In­ vestigate. They also extend further than our friend has mentioned. All animals found ou the well-kept farm nre of higher grade than those kept at the run-down place. Poultry, bogs, sheep, hurses and-rattle are all of bet­ ter stock at the former place than nt tbe latter. Tbe difference rests largely with the men. The owner of the wellkept farm is a farmer and demonstrates 1L while the owner of the run-down es­ tablishment thinks he Is such, yet the testimony of his labors contradicts him. The num wise enough to keep his farm In the l»wt possible shape Is al­ ways prudent enough to stock it with uulmals that reflect g«MMl judgment In their selection. The man In control of a run-down place nettar exhibits char­ acteristics that leave him open to'bus-. plcion that he knows anything about prudence in farm matter or Is capable of good judgment In such affairs. He is usually a sluggard mentally, nnd .physically he is In a state of chronic weariness. This union ik adverse to the man’s advancement, and makes him the mere creature of bls environment. Tin* result Is present iu dilapidated dwelling anil farm buildings, fence# out of repair and stock unworthy of their keep. The quality of a farmer Is al­ ways revealed by thc care bestowed on his farm. Our friend Is right In his conclusion that well-bred cattle and well-kept farms go hand in hand The man with brains enough to b^a farm­ er will not waste effort or time with inferior stock. . Poultry House Door. Our sketch shows a divided door for a poultry bouse, that Is a combination for both summer aud winter use. The lower half has laths nailed to the In­ Hide and covering the spa<x* filled by the upper half of the door. Tbe latter may Im* o]x*ned In summer for ventila­ tion. When shut aud secured by the button on the lower half, tbe whole be­ comes a solid door. The same arrange­ ment will ataq be found useful in ven­ tilating the poultry quarters upon warm days in winter. Such ventila­ tion. with plenty of sunlight to keep tbe place dry, and Jitter in which tbe fowls must scratch for food so as to get exerrise. are prime requisites to success with poultry in winter. The house must be kept free from vermin, aud poultry with frequently renewed aud plenty of dry earth or ashes for a dust bath. Young animals always gain most from feed, nnd their meat is also gen­ erally the beat and highest in price. An old farmer who used to buy cattle to fwd every fall once remarked that be never lost anything by feeding a young animal and never made anything by feeding an old one. Up to three years old. part of the feed goes to make growth, and thia gain Is always greater in proportion than tbe gain of mature animals while they are being fattened. No far ns different kinds of animals are concerned, meat la much the most cheaply made in the form of j>ork. Tbe hog baa less proportion of waste than auy other domestic animal It Is fed mainly on concentrated food. There­ fore Its stomach is small. Its legs are shorter than ’hose of other animals, and even to its feet they make good eat­ ing when cooked. We luive before alluded to the prac­ tical experiments at tbe Wisconsin ExjierimeDtal Htation In regard to the economy of ensilage over dry corn fodder. The statement is as follows: At the Wisconsin Station a dally ra­ tion of four pounds of bay aud seven pounds of grain with Cora silage, or field-cured corn fodder was fed to twen­ ty cows Cor.sixteen weeks. During The silage feeding 1D.813 pounds of inllk were produced, aud 19,8»>1 during the corn fodder feeding. Taking Into ac<*unnt the areas of land from which tbe fodder and ailaue corn were pro dored. It ia shown that tbe silage would have produced 243 pound* more milk per acre than the dry fodder cr the equivalent of twelve pounds of butter. a gain of slightly over three per for beddlsg for farm anttnxla is any- feeding which the shaving* have nut. rotted they rentals nt Uh- bottom or that it suffers much worse Id time of drought.

A few hens can be kept at less cost, proportionately, according to tbe Poultry Keeper, than can a large number, owing to the fact that the scraps from the table are valuable. No labor of consequence Is necessary. and when an account for the year Is kept, the small Hocks will be found to have given quite a profit In the conversion of tbe waste material into eggs. 'There is no way to procure eggs as fresh and nice as those procured by your own hens. If they are a choice breed, the pleasure will be the greater, as well from pride In endeavoring to excel as from the management. NORWEGIAN EXPLORER'S SUC­ gayly decorated with bunting and silver GREAT FACTORY IN TROY, N. Y„ birch. As thr Fram passed the point on CESS NOT CONFIRMED. BURNS DOWN. Tbe rej»oned north pule discovery by Dr. Nansen is being given much aitsn* tion by tbe pre**, but scientlat* generally are inclined to be skeptical, without de­ nying the possibilities or truth of the rvJort. Thc story comes as a telegram from rkutak, Siberia, nnd says that a Sibe­ rian frailer named Koiichnareff, agent of Dr. Fridtjef Nansen, the Norwegian ex­ plorer. who sailed in tbe Fram June 24. 1893, for the Arctic regions, has received, information that Dr. Nanaen reached the north pole, found land rhere. and is now returning toward civilization. * The news from Dr. Nansen was receiv­ ed at Irkutsk from Ust Yacht, at the mouth of the Ynna river. The Yana river falls into the Arctic ocean by several on deck to wave a farewell salute to his wife, wbo stood in front of -the bouse, clad in a dress of pun* white. Salutes of three guns were fired from the various batteries as the Fram passed them on her way to tho perilous Arctie sens. Various messages, some of extremely doubtful authenticity, have been revolv­ ed during lhe long interval since the ex­ pedition embarked. One of these waa a dispatch sent out trow Christiania Dec. C. 1895. which said that Mrs. Nansen had received’ a letter tied to a carrier pigeon, stating that Dr. Nansen and his venluresome aKsocintes were safe and that the expedition was progressing satisfactorily. The well-known fact that no pigeons were taken in the Fram. together with a lack of definiteness as to the location of the party, combined to discredit iu popular estima­ tion the huthentlcity of the letter. April 15 last year great excitement was *Figaro of a dispatch that Dr. Nansen had reached the north pole, planted "a flag of caused by the publication iu the Paris Norway upon it and was returning- In tri­ umph.

Uat Yacht, or Ust Yansk, is one of these. In fact, Ust. or Ost, is the Russian name for the mouth of a river. I'at Yansk Is only a little more than 100 miles from I/iakov island, which is one of the new Siberian islands. The mouth of the Ynna is considerably over 100 miles east of the Lena delta. Tho ill-fated Jeanette was crushed in the ice in.77 degrees 15 minute* north latitude and 155 degrees east longitude on June 13. 1881. This point is to the north­ east of the New Siberian inlands. Those of the expedition who reached land came 500 miles in boats and sleds to do It. Their point of arrival was west and north uf Ust Yansk. credited by scientists or navigators and was not confirmed by any subsequent nnd reliable information from thc plucky party of Arctic explorers. Other alleged news from Dr. Nansen na* Iwen published from time to time. One dispatch, bearing date of March 4, 1895. was sent from Ixmdon and contained the statement, that n letter hud been received at Hammer­ fest, Norway, dated at Kjollefjord. Feb. 24. This letter contained thc statement that a balloon had been sighted by a telegraph inspector, locate*) between Lebesy and Langfjord, and that it doubtless contained a message from Nansen. The last reliable information from the explorer was a dispatch from Vardoe, dated Aug. 23, 1893, and signed by Cbarabowa, stating that the Fram was about York and asked whether in hi* judgment It Is usually a rajtprike to those who feed highly concentrated and especially nitrogenous foods, to find how great a liking stock have for grain straw. The reason Is obvious. 'Fhe grain is con­ centrated food, and excepting corn, has more of the nitrogenous and less of tbe carbonaceoua nutrition than it should have. This Is one of the ad­ vantages which thos? who grow wheat or rye for sale have. They can pur­ chase Uniteed oil meal, nnd with thia feed a considerable portion of their wheat straw. Where hay and corn­ stalks are fed. some straw will be eaten by aulmals as a change, but it has itself too little nutrition to Im? fed largely with anything but grain or oil meal. Feeding Value of Htr At the Gottingen Station numerous experiments have recently been made on the digestibility of oat straw and chaff, and wheat straw and chaff. Tbe results show a wider difference in the feeding value of these substances than has generally been supposed to exist. Wheat straw proved to be more digesti­ ble than wheat chaff, oat straw more digestible than wheat straw, and oat chaff more digestible than oat straw. These experiments, therefore, show oat chaff to itave a very much higher value than wheat chaff. A further Investiga­ tion of the matter Is promised.—Farm________ TWENTY DIE BY FIRE FHIPJOF .NA5»EN. ril. D. port that Dr. Nnnaen had reached the north jHde and ia now returning be promptly replied that wbat with the mea­ gerness of the dispatch, the kXwlity from which the news comes, and the aeusoti. it does not seem to him as likely to In* au­ thentic. Dr. Nanaen, if his theory in re­ gard to the current.be correct, IJeut. Peary said, would not be likely to ever get back in that direction. He expected to cross the pule nnd tu come out some­ where on tbe east coast of Greenland. If Nansen or auy of bis party is where it ia said he ia. the lieutenant thought the Since Ids twenty-second year Dr. Nan­ sen has been I'ontentplating crossing the north pole, and with that end iu view has been diligently studying the Arctic ocean currents. He noticed tbe two large currente flowing down the coast of Green­ land oat of the |<olnr regions. Approxi­ mate calculations showed that an enor­ mous quantity of water was thus transjHirted southwardly. Of course, it would be impossible for tbe polar ocean to conJinue to yield suchjrreat volumes of water Unless similar streams were somewhere flowing into it. Dr. Nansen sought their Noiirce on the opph^ite side of the pole off the coast of Siberia, where he discovered a great current which moved steadily toward the pole. Not only did the water flow toward the pole, but the thick ice crust waa carried by the stream in the same direction. The idea struck Dr. Nan­ sen that it would be posaribie to ilrift ncroM tbe j>ole starting off the coast of Si­ beria and coming out by way of Green­ land. This idea was strengthened by «he result of James Gordon Bennett's Jennnette expedition of 1882-3. Dr. Nauaen considered this theory dem­ onstrated aud reasoned that If he could hare placed himself upon the stores lost by the Jeannette he would bare crossed with them the polar sea. But this ia far from the only proof or a transpolar cur­ rent. Erery week large quantities of driftwood arrive on Spitzbergen Island and Greenland masts by the polar route from Siberia. Id thia way the Eskimo is provided with all the wood hr needs for houses, tools aud fire. Without it ho could not exist. Furthermore. Dr. Nan­ sen caused experts to exanrine^the earth The New Jersey Experimental Sta­ tion says that in its experiments air­ slacked stone lime gave sufficient evi­ dence of Its usefulness as a preventive of clubroot of turnips to wnrraut it be­ ing recommended for that purpose. But no less than seventy-flve bushels should be applied per acre, and at least three months previous to tbe time of planting. The soil on which these ex­ periments were made was probably a light, sandy loam. Undoubtedly, even a small quantity of lime would answer for wme other noils. Good soil, good seed aud good sense.

TbrXnrf* Th© recent action of the French Gov­ ernment in opening the French universi­ ties and high schools io American stndents Is regarded by puhfle educators In this country as a matter of great interest in higher education. The decree, which has just been issued by th© Oonscil Superieur de IT list ruction Publique, practically removes the restructions upon the admis­ sion of foreign students to the. French universities and gives them a status sub­ stantially similar to that already accorded ■by the German universities. This con­ cession by the French authorities Is the result of n movement instituted by Prof. H. J. Furber. at Chicago, who in May last addressed the Ministry of Public Instruction calling attention to the im­ mense disparity in the number of Ameri­ can students at the French universities •s compared with those engaged in post­ graduate work in Germany, and suggest­ ing in a geperr.1 way certain modifications in .the French regulations which would have a tendency to secure to France a fair share of the patronage of the American students desirous of completing their studies in Europe.

The State penitentiary at Jefferson City. Mo., was quarantined by order of the State Board of Health, and until the quarantine is raised no one will be i»ermltted to enter or leave that institution.

Pleasant Hill pa­ tients carried the disease both to Nevada and Kansas City. At Pleasant Hill there are about twelve cases, and eight houses have been quarantined, and in Kansas City there are three cases, and one house has been isolated. Forty Youths Fall Twenty Feet.

Benefit of Weather Bureau. I Chief Moore, of the weather bureau, has made a special report to the Secretory of Agriculture with reference to the actual money value of cold-wave warnings to the jieople of this country, with special refer­ ence to the cold wave of Jan. 2 to 5 of the present year. That was one of unusual severity, spreading over the entire country east of the Rocky Mountains, with the ex­ ception of the southern portion of Florida. At every weather bureau station through­ out this region the cold-wave flag was dis­ played, and the warnings were distributed at least twenty-four hours before the cold ware occurred. Reports received from 102 stations indicate that these warnings were directly instrumental in saving from destruction property exceeding $3,500,000 in value. This estimate takes no account of the property saved as the result of these warnings distributed from the weather bureau stations to thousands of small towns and cities from which it has been impossible to obtain reports. The largest saving reported was by owners and ship­ pers of perishable produce. Water pipes were protected in factories, residences and public buildings, the size of trains regu­ lated by railroad officials, while florists and agriculturists protected their hot houses. Reports of direct benefits were received from fuel dealers, owners of ice harvesters, fanners and stock raisers, river men and business men generally. . Lithographers on Strike. Five hundn-d New York lithographers struck to enforce the recognition of their organization, the abolition of the piece­ work sysWtn. the payment ot minimum wages of $18 a week, a work week of forty-fonr hours, pay for overtime and not more than one apprentice to every five journeymen. The strikers were em­ ployed by 100 firms, who do show printing and general lithographic'work. They are all members of the International Litho­ graphic Artists and Engravers* Insurance and Protective Association, which has branches in all the principal cities of the United States and Chnnda. The action of the New York branch of the association was expected to precipitate strikes forth­ with in all th© large cities. THREEFOUNDGHILTY SENATE AND HOUSE. SPANISH VICTORIES REPORTKB.

Senator Proctor. of Vermont, addressed the Senate Thursday on the question ol coast defenses. The Senator's former services as Secretary of War added Inter­ est to his remark*. At the outset he quot­ ed a statement by Admiral Walker to the effect that If the English were to send over such a naval force as they could spare from Europe they would have their own way here. The Senator took the ground that land fortifications are much more efficient for coast defense than a ■navy, and when ouce constructed are dur­ able, cheaply maintained, and easily strengthened; that the defense of our cities cannot be left to the navy alone, however large, and that a navy equal to the great navies of Europe is unnecessary and its cost makes such a Davy imprac­ ticable. The Senator said that the total amount appropriated up to date from and including the third day of March, 1803, for the increase of the navy was $110.­ 317.710. During'tbe same time only $10,­ (131.710 was appropriated for coast de­ fense. “We have also spent.” he contin­ ued. “millions in deepening the approaches ■ to our harbors to make them accessible to a hostile fleet, and practically Nothing for their defense.” The Spanish Minister at Washington bus received advices from Havana saying that bands of Insurgents are marauding to th© north of Taruco with the intention of diverting the attention of the troops, and to i>eriuit Gomez and Maceo to cross to Mantauzas and enter tbe Cienaga de Zapata. The roads are guarded by the commands of Echngue and Francis.

Martha Overman Confe*«c« Blackmail la Behind the Charge*. Rev. Dr. Brown, of San Francisco, af­ ter two months’ silence, has given his de­ fense to the public. The story is the most startling which has yet been told in the case. It was related as a confession in the ecclesiastical court by Miss Martha Overman, who is the first in the sensa­ tional case to confess herself a black­ mailer. Tbe -woman *poke deliberately, wearing n remarkable story, logically and clearly. She coafessed that she was a blackmailer and tried to be a thief, and she gave the information with a smHe.

Great Suffcriitg and Loa* of Property from Climatic Conditions. The Canadian-Australian stennu-r Miowera, from Sydney, brings news of grear suffering and loss of property in Austra­ lia by the extraordinary climatic condi­ tions. There is unprecedented beat on laud and excessivdy high death rate from sunstroke, righty bodies being buried at Sydney in one day. Terrific storm* prevailed along the coast. Crops in a great many Iwalitiea have been ruined. Herds of *tock* are starving and dying for want of water, and there is a dis­ tressing array of marine casualties rryorted. 'rhe town of Murrurundi was al­ most entirely destroyed by an electric windstorm. Tbe National Solons- The House Monday ’ in cominittre of the whole, by ,a vote of 03 to 64. decided that none of the appropriations on the In­ dian appropriation bill for Indian *cl>oo!i should go to sectarian schools. Th* mat­ ter caused a warm debate. Tho Rebate showed considerable interest In Cuban af­ fairs, nnd circumstance* ailending recent bond issues, but nothing" of importance was -done. The Senate, by n vote .of 33 to 22, de­ feated the tariff bill Tuesday. Th© House passed the Indian appropriation bill, the sixth of the thirteen general appropria­ tion bills, and sent it to tbe Senate. Tbe House also passed without debate the Dingley bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to take and kill the Alaskan seal herd if a modus vivendi could not be concluded before the opening of the pres­ ent season for the protection of the seals pending negotiations for permanept pro­ tection of the herds with the countries interested. After several bills of local im­ portance had been passed Mr. Johnson, chairman of Elections Committee No. 2. called up the contested election case of Van Horn against Tanney from the Fifth Missouri district. Tbe House adjourned without taking any action. The Senate was again tbe scene of stormy debate Wednesday, ail occasioned, by the bolt of the Republican ailver Sen­ ator* on the tariff question. The Cuban question received alight attention. The Van Horn-Taraney contested election case from the Kansas City, Mo., district occu­ pied the attention of the House, but was unsettled. The Senate amendtneffla to the House bill to extend the time in which the Government under the net of 1891 can bring suits to annul patents to lands in railroad and wagon grants were agreed to. One of the Senate amendments reduce* the extension from five to one year. Both House and Senate on Thursday did 111 tie but get enthusiastic over Cuba. Reports of slaughter by Gen. Weyler of peaceful citizens in Havana, the seizure of the steamer Bermuda within the threemile limit in New York harbor, and fiery »I>eechea in both branches in favor of recognizing Cuban independence, all serv­ ed tu arouse the greatest enthusiasm. It Is predicted that this Government will soon act, and that instead of simple t>elligerency, the actual independence of the island will be acknowledged. The Hous© unseated Taraney,.of Missouri in favor of Van Horn, Republican. In the Senate the bill was passed for the construction of two steam revenue cdttero to cost not to exceed $250,000 each, for nse on the Pacific coast. The army appropriation bill carrying $23,279,000 was also passed. Cuba had her day In the Senate Fri­ day. when that body by n large majority passed concurrent resolutions favoring the granting of belligerent rights. The inci­ dent was attended by unusual excitement and enthusiasm, and at any expression favoring the insurgents the chamber was in an uproar. The whole day in the House was spent in the consideration of the Legislative appropriation bill nnd considerable progress was made.

Morrill's Unsucceaaful Effort to Have the Measure Taken Up. i IE people of three States are still talking about the Pearl Bryan mur­ der. Kentucky has claimed the accus­ ed on the ground that the final scene was enacted with­ in her domain, but the crime may be ■aid to have been committed in all three States—Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky—for it was one of many acts. It is a crime so surrounded by mystery, sorrow and hor­ ror that the smallest details have been eagerly read and discussed. Minister* have preached about it. Thousands of prayers have been sent up for those con­ nected with it. and its awful lessons so savagely enforced are being repeated in every household and are carrying their warnings to young men and young wom­ en everywhere. Jackson nnd Walling, the young medi­ cal students accused of the crime, are securely jailed at Newport, Ky., and the officers now claim to have a complete chain of evidence against them from the time Pearl Bryan went from Greencastle. Ind., Monday, Jan. 27. until Friday night. Jam 31. when she wns murdered in a se­ cluded spot between Fort Thoma* and Newport. Ky. Each of the prisoners de­ nies guilty knowledge of the brutal deed and declares the other to be the murderer. Jackson has made a long written state­ ment in which he recite* the incidents leading up to the murder, but claim* steadfastly that Walling and nut be did the killing. Then- is a reward of by two morn­ ing papers of Cincinnati and $50 by the owner of the farm on which the murder was committed for the discovery of Pearl Bryan's head, with a prospect of V”" more from citizen* of Greencastle, mak­ ing $1.1«». This, with the intensifying Interest -n the solving of the mystery, stimulates the search by everybody. only to the members. The convention unanimously adopted the following reso­ lution: "Resolved. That this association demand the .passage of the Wilbur bill now beforo-^he Committee on Ways and Means, placing filled cheese under the control of internal revenue officers, nnd n tax and license on its manufacture nnd sale.” I MISS FLAGLER'S SENTENCE. A Flue of $500 and Three Hours in Jail for Kiilins a Little Boy. Mias Elizabeth Flagler, daughter of Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, U. S. A., MISS rr.AGLKH. who last spring shot a colored boy named Green. son of a Treasury Department messenger, was arraigned in court nt Washington, D. C-. Tuesday. She plead­ ed gnilty to involuntary murder and was sentenced to three hours in jail and to pay a fina of $300. Gen. Flagler paid the NATIONAL BUTTER MAKERS. fin« and the young lady was conducted to Stringent Laws for Filled Cheese De­ jail to serve the three hours. After some routine business in the Sen­ ate Tuesday Mr. Morrill, chairman of tbe Finance Committee, presented « resolu­ tion to take up the tariff bill. Mr. Mor­ rill began with a brief statement as to the complications on the tariff' bill. He oald it had been apparent^ for many months that there was a deficiency in ths revenue*. During every month since the present tariff bill went into effect there had been a deficiency. “How was it before?” interjected Mr. Cockrell. Mr. Morrill went on to state that the deficiency up to this time had reached $20,000,000. If we went on at the same "rate the deficiency would be $30,000,000 ■for the year. It was certainly manifest that Congress should do something to re­ lievo the treasury and assist in the revival of business. Therefore, concluded the Senator, he moved that the Senate pro­ ceed to the consideration of the tariff bill. . The roll call proceeded with many in­ terruptions in order to allow Senators to pair. The announcement that Mr. Mor­ rill's motion had been defeated—yens, 22; nays, 33—was not unexpected In view of the vote some days ago. The detailed vote was ns follows: Yeas—Republicans, Aldrich, Allison, Baker, Brown, Burrows, Camcroh. Clark. Cullom, Davis, Gear. Hale, Ilansbrough, Hawley. Lodge, Mitchell (Or.). Morrill, Nelson, Perkins, Proctor, Quay, Sherman, Shoup—22. Nays—Republicans, Cannon. Carter, Dubois. Mantle and Teller (5); Demo­ crats, Bacon, Bnte, Berry. Cattery, Call, Chilton, Cockrell, George. Gordon. Gray, Harris, Hill, Lindsay, Martin. Morgan, Palmer, Pasco, Roach, Turpie, Vest. Wal­ thall, White (22); Populist*. Allen, Butler. Jones (Nev.), Kyle, Peffer and Stewart (<>) —total, 33. The announcement of the vote was the signal for a remarkable colloquy between Mr. Morrill nnd Mr. Teller. As soon a* the vote was announced Mr. Morrill again addressed the Senate. It wo* now evident, he said, that the Repub­ lican party wa* in the minority in the Senate. A chorus of derisive laughter came from the Democratic side of the chamber at this statement. Mr. Morrill, not noticing the interruptlon, proceeded to state that in his judg­ ment the tariff bill was defeated by a vote including five silver Republicans nnd six Populists. There was no substantial change in the present nud formcr“V5te*. It settled all question* of doubt. -The Senator said the Republican members of the Finance Committee would be ready nt any time before Congress adjourned to come to the relief of the treasury. "But ns to the bill,” concluded Mr. Morrill, "I do not think it would become me to ask any further time.” Mr. Teller secured recognition as soon as Mr. Morrill concluded. The Colorado Senator spoke with intense earne*tnr«* and feeling and at times a vein of sar­ casm and bitterness was evident. He referred scornfully to the assertion of Mr. Morrill that there wa* not a Republican majority in the Senate. That wa* a fact that hnd long been understood. This statement, said Mr. Teller, came with a motion out of time nnd out ot place to proceed with the tariff bill. The Senator from Vermont, Mr. Morrill, declared that certain Senators on the Republican side of the chamber are no longer member* of the Republican party. The Senator from Montana (Carter), who wa* in the judg­ ment of Mr. Teller as good a Republican a* the Senator from Vermont (Morrill), nad moved to recommit the bill. “I charge,” proceeded Mr. Teller, “and I will seek to prove later, that this tariff bill was never presented with any purpose of passing it.” "If the Senator from Vermont," contin­ ued Mr. Teller, “think* he can embarrass for the east over the Burlington, Cedar those who have been as devoted to the Rapids and Northern tracks to Clinton, Republican party a* he ha* been, then he via Columbus Junction and West Liberty. is mistaken.

Early iu the afternoon, say* a Washing­ ton correspondent. the sentiment among •the Senators themselves apparently rose to fever heat, and it was easy to see that Cuba after many long delay* had Its day in court. The resolutions which were passed not only recognize the fact that there is a state ot war existing in the Island of Cuba, but also iu effect sug­ gest that the friendly offices of the Uni­ ted States should be offered by President Cleveland to the Spanish Government in the direction of securing the independence of Cuba.

This aroused Mr. Vest, first, for question, then for remonstrance, and then to one of the burst* of eloquence with which he nt times electrifies the Senate. He spoke of Spain ns the tooth­ less old wolf who had had lost one by one all her litter, and was still dinging to this single remaining cub. He pictured Spain a* the impotent giant of Despair in rhe Pilgrim'* Progress, gazing on defeat.

It would be strange if medical telegraph and telephone, the phonograph, the electric light—all these were once trnpossiblc, and once it was impo-sible to cure consumption. That was befdfe the time of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Taken according to directions, thh standard remedy will cure 96 per rent, of all cssea of consumption. Consumption h a diaease of the blood. It used to be considered * dis­ ease by itself. It is not It is caused and fostered .by impurity in the blood. Purify the blood and restore the healthy action to the various organs of tbe body and con­ sumption will be cured. It is by weakness and loss of vitality in the blood. It is cured by purity and richness of tbe blood—Purely, certainly cured. Those who have consump­ tion or any lingering bronchial, throat or lung disease, ana those who are on tbe road to them, have a positive remedy at hand. Any condition of the body that indicates weakness, any indication of impurity in the blood, should be attended to at once. Loss of appetite, loss of flesh, loss of vitality, nervousness, weakness end unnatural wear­ iness, are indications that the body is run­ ning down. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the appetite good, the di­ gestion strong. It builds up solid, healthy flesh and vigorous strength. Thousands of people have testified that it has really saved their lives. Some of these testimonials, together with hundreds of thing* that ev­ erybody ought to know about health and sickness and medicine, have been embod­ ied in Dr. Pierce's "Common Sense Med­ ical Adviser."

During tb«year covered by the report only one road* went into the hands of a receiver, while live* roads were sold on mortgages, reor­ ganized under new names and taken from* the control of their receivership. In mentioning tbe incidents of the year the commissioner says: “Not one passenger hastaen killed dur­ ing this year by what cpuld properly be called a railroad accident. Two. reportodi as passengers, were found, on investiga­ tion. to have been killed by their own carelessnesa, which goes far to prove that safety appliances and conditions have not been neglected. The men employed to dorailroad work are worthy of high eotumendation; their work proves that a. steadfast watchfulness has bwn strictly observed in all their labor. also that they are sober, industrious and iateiHgeut men." Kates Are Reasonable. "The people of Michigan have little, if any. reason for complaint that railroad*' are unreasonable iu their charges for tiie<-arrying of freight. That !s not due to legislative enactments fixing rates, fursuch are i*.ore liberal than in many other States: neifher Is it due to the generosity of our, roads.

Large lakes an.I rivers nearly surround our territory, mak­ ing a highway for cheap water transpor­ tation: aud the low ratef set by U>atxloading nt many hart>ora and piers on <«fr border* set the rates that railroads hove to meet.

Mr. McVicker was stricken with panilysis four weeks ago while sitting in n chair at home. He was compelled -to keep his house, and the grad­ ual failure of his power* became appar­ ent. His critical condition was not made known to the general pnlrfic. For tho fast week he was nnder the aim«nt con­ stant influence of opiates. The profession generally Sored him. and he was known as the “grand old man" of the drama, from coast to coast. Ills English friends were also legion. Mr. McVicker often proved a good Samaritan to stranded ac­ tors, prompted by recollections of his own etirly struggles At the time of his death fcv was a weaMhy man and owned consid­ erable realty in Chicago and vicinity.

Th- leading feature 8f this number is a set of preliminary.note* on the JapanChinese war compiled by Lleuts. M. M. Witxel and L. Karmany. who were pres। ent in Chinese waters during the progress of the trouble. A chapter on small arms shows that the European powers have found a caliber as small as .17 entirely feasible for a rifle, and in fact are look­ ing forward to still smaller calibers. The British authorities have been making many experiments to determine Hie pene­ tration of tfie bullets into different sub­ stances with a view to ascertaining the best protection to afford to troops, and the results are all set out in this chapter. The surprising extent to which electricity is now being used on board men-of-war is strikingly exhibited in an article con­ tributed by Lieut. B. A. Fiske, thb in­ ventor of the range finder, with many illustrations of all sorts of instruments of precision and measurement and conve­ nience. ■The boiler of the future, that of the tubulons type, is thoroughly discussed and illustrated and its merits compared with the present style of tubulons boilers, and there is the usual list of new vessels under construction by all the naval pow­ ers, with descriptions of their novel fea­ tures. - THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The interest-bearing bonded debt, how­ ever, has been increased during the month by 175,252,350. This seeming inconsis­ tency la explained by the fact that the payments on accounts of bond purchases during the month are about $10,000,000 iu excess of the bonds delivered. The in­ crease in tho cash last month was $1)1.­ 115,228. The debt Is classified as fol­ lows: Interest-besring debt, $822,015,­ 170: debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,007,030; debt bearing no interest, $375,491,070; total. $1,190.­ 774,479.

Popular demonstrations of the most violent character have occurred throughout the Italian peninsula. ‘A.t Milan 3U,<)00 persons took part iu the dlaordera, which amounted to a popular up­ rising. Tin- police were forced to charge through the streets with fixed bayonets before they succeeded in dispersing th* mob. It is known that a targe number of jieraons were Injured, more or less severe­ ly. The public gatherings were addressed by orators, who made violent speeches against the constitution and against the ministerial policy in Abyssinia and who were greeted with wild acclamation*. At Pavia the populatiou turned out en masse to protest against tbe dispatch of further troops to Africa. The soldiers were forc­ ed out of the cars in which they had taken their place* preparatory to de|>arture, and the mob then toVe up the rails along th* track and made the soldiers promise not to leave the town.

The Supreme Court Munday decided the Stanford case in favor of Mrs. Stanford. The title cf the case is the United States vs. Jane L Stanford, executrix of Leland Stanford, deceased. It involved th* indi­ vidual liability of stockholders in the Cen­ tral Pacific Railroad for the debt dus th* United States on the bonds issued in aid of the Central Pacific under the California constitution. Mr. Stanford held 144,387 shares of the Central Pacific stock, and it was claimed that the Government was entitled to collect $15,237,000 from the Stanford estate. This contention was resisted by Mrs. Stanford on the ground that tbe California constitution was not self-ruling, and also on the plea that it was the intention of Congress in granting aid to tjie Central Pacific Company to put it on a footing different'from the footing on which oilier government aided roads fr»re placed. The suit has attracted great attention from its initiation because of the effect the decision will have upon the other Central Pacific stockholders, aud also be­ cause the fortune of the Stanford Uni­ versity will be determined largely by tbt decision. _______ Weyler Surprised.

Conditions .have entirely changed. There is no longer that hostility which kept the two sections apart, and within the last rive years tbe large landless class of the north, as well as thousands who wish to seek shelter from tbe wintry blasts have awakened to the fact that a mag­ nificent climate and an abundance of well watered and well Umbered lands await them only a/bort distance away, where old issues have been entirely forgotten and all new comers are received with tbe utmost cordiali­ ty. Within these five years tans of thousands have swept into Missouri, Arkansas. Louisiana aud Texas, und the number is swelled by every south bound train. Data furnished by the office in Kansas City showed that 5,000 bomeseekers from tbe north passed through that gateway In one day. There will be no lessening of this stream for the next tan years, nor until tbe abundance of cheap and fruitful lands are exhausted. Lt is a how of promise that tbe most of these are farmers who come to enrich not only themselves but lhe country by their labor and productions. Ihall parts of the south there Is much town site speculation. Booms are everywhere. If some therefore lose their money by being diverted from tbe legitimate aod profitable business t»f fruit growing and diversi­ fied farming it may not be wondered at. It is not in tbe nature of things that every station or town site should make a city. But some of these, how­ ever, show wonderful growth and activity, though it may be said that those seeking southern homes and ex­ pecting to engage in merchandising need to be careful and look tbe ground over thoroughly, as my observation leads to a conclusion that all lines of Industry are over stocked. It is also proper to say that there is less money in circulation than In the north. Tbe conditions have been, and are yet, very different. Before the war society was divided between slave bolding and non-s’ave holding classes. The latter, without lands or other property found their labor shorn of its value as they met slave competition confront­ ing them on every band and hence their Hyes were one ceaseless struggle for subsistence. jTite slave holding class bad their wealth in large tracts of land and the army of colored ser­ vants with which they were surround ed. The relentless fate of war swept the slaves away and rendered vacant, almost worthless, these countless acres. Twenty or more years of bitter­ ness followed, virtually barring capi­ tal, and making still worse the already alarming conditions. z\s the tide of emigration now sweeps in the aspect Is being changed, though the new comers are mostly persons of moderate means so that as yet no lines of business are systematized, tbe avenues for money making limited, and every­ thing cheap. So far I have only spoken in general terms. Now to answer your query as to what we raise here. We raise everything that is raised In lhe north, and much besides. The principal crop throughout tbe valleys is cotton, but cotton raising seldom suits a northern man. It usually yields from one-half to one and a quarter bales per acre, (a bale weighing 500 pounds) and brought usually until the last few years MO to 860 per bale. This looks pretty rosy, but when you consider that It costs about as much per acre to raise cotton as it does cabtmgc, and that the price since 1890 has been from 815 to 835 per bale. It doesn’t Took quite so rosy. The stock business, in the valleys along the river bottoms, especially In the eastern part of the stale, pays very well, and until the stockmen got too numerous there.was bushels of money in it. All one hufl to do was to get a bunch cf cows to start with and turn them loose in the river bottoms, where they lived summer and winter. He had to drive them out In case of an overflow, and had to brand tbe calves l<efore some other enterprising stock­ man got tbe start of him, aod if he managed to steal as many calves from his neighbors as his neighbors stole from him he was sure to succeed. The business Is better conducted of late years, but there are so many en­ gaged in it that tbe profits are much less. There is one thing, however, which prevents the eastern aud south­ ern part of tbe state from being desirable for northern people, and that is tbe malaria. Tbe Mississippi river overflows its banks nearly every year and the water spreads out over the bottom lands, which on the Ar­ kansas side are nearly fifty miles wide in many places. As the water gradually recedes, it leaves a deposit on this entire surface which, while It en­ riches tbe land, makes It very <nheaitbly, tosay nothing of the pollu­ tion of tbe air by tbe hundreds or deml horses, cattle and hogs that have been devoured by the high waters.’ Alto­ gether I consider tbe Mississippi river bottoms the most fertile as well as the most undesirable part of tbe United States that I know anything about. Nobody wants to live in a country where, as the natives say,“It takes two frogs to Jive one day.” I lived in the eastern part of the state lung enough to learn these facta, aud also that it was nut the country 1 was looking for. I then moved to Johnson county, and lived in tbe valley country one year, where I Invested about 8100 and one summer's work in a cotton crop so deeply that I never got it out again. 1 then moved to tbe mountains where I am now living. We raise everything here that is raised in tbe yalleys, except cotton, and we raise good apples, which can’t be grown there. But this letter has grown so long that I guess 1 will wait until next week to tell you about the apples, the people and the “yarminta.” Respectfully Yours, Wm. Tbkihek.

The formerly vast aud seemingly in­ exhaustible forests of the United States are threatened with utter and swift destruction. Such' is the warning of the Government Forestry Bureau and figures are furnished to substantiate th Ik grave opinion. The total forest area in the United States Is estimated at 495,000,000 acres, or 26 per cent, of ■the total area. Alaska aud Indian res■ervations are not included in these fig­ ures. The present annual requirements for consumption of forest products In the United States are approximately over 24.000,000,000 cubic feet, made up of the following items: Lumber market •nd manufacturers. 5,000,000,000 cubic feet; railroad construction, 000,000,000 cubic feet; charcoal. 250,000,000 cubic feet; fences, 500,000,000 cubic feet; fuel. 18,000.000.000 cubic feet, and mining timber. 150,000.000 cubic feet. If the reader will stop to consider that these appalling figures are given in •‘cubic’* and not in "square’.’ feet the amount becomes almost incredible. At the present rate of cutting the re­ mainder of the forest land in the United ■cannot long meet the enormous de­ mands on its resources. Of the two most Important Umbers for building •purposes the merchantable white pine of the north west of A’ew Englund is practically gone, very little remaining. ■Of the merchantable long leaf pine of the South only about 1,500,000,000 cu­ bic feet remain. The valuable ash will probably /be the first’ to be exhausted. Walnut trees are also going fast. For­ est fires are estimated to destroy val­ ues of about $15,000,000 annually, but ■during the year of ISM that amount appears to have been lost In Minne­ sota and Wisconsin alone. A national organization, known as ’the American Forestry Association, -composed ' of delegates from all the States, meets annually to discuss the measures needed for the protection •of tbe native forests. There are forest ■commissioners appointed in several States, but political machinations pre­ vent much efficient work from being done. A bill Jo provide a systematic forest administration for Colorado, Now Mexico. California. Arizona. Wy­ oming. Oregon nnd Washington was passed in both Houses of Congress last year, but failed to become a law. The individual Slates have striven with more or less success to cocoa rage tree planting by adopting a certain day In tbe year as arbor day. for the vol­ untary planting of trees by the people. There Is no enterprise which should receive more encouragement from ev cry resident and true lover of the coun­ try than this. Tbe children of the pub­ lic schools have lately been cncoqraged In the active participation of tree plant­ ing and It may be said that Young America lias embraced tbe opportunity with all Its wouted scat The second Wednesday in April lx set aside in most States as arbor day. and It would be a direct blessing to the country If every txjchrr and school officer would imtpress Its Importance on the children dn their charge. . ’Wisconsin. Michigan and Minnesota ■till produce enormous quantities of timber, and are as yet the most favor­ able places to see tbe old-fashioned and Up-to-date lumber camps. Before the approach of winter the sawmill owner project* his campaign for the logging A logging camp l»located with ref.-rener to tbe nearest aceras to the timber Intended to be operated upon. Though the work of hauling never besins till winter has fairly set In and there is snow enough to make good roads the thrifty logger la actually nt work consIderaBly before. He Is ehoppping down .trees, sawing them Into logs of proper k-agth ami ■••kid­ ding" them by the use bf teams. Skid­ ding is hauling them together into large piles and placing them on skids convenient for loading them on the sleds. A good team will haul from 1,000 to 2,000 feet from the woods to tbe stream. As 1,060 feet of logs will weigh mor^ than two tons, an estimate may be made of the immense’ loads thus hauled. After a successful win­ ter’s work the rircr bank Is piled full for miles along the stream with the log harvest, until some time during the month of March, when tbe season generally colnes to an end. In the States mentioned more than 75 j>er cent, of tbe men engaged for this rough work are Scandinavians, the Swedes possibly lending in number. They are a well-paid set of men and ask no favors, and. though they Home times make things pretty lively In towns adjacent to the lumber camps, they nre conscientious enough to pay for any damage done. If the camps are lo­ cated too far from the logging camp, the men spend their leisure time the beet way they know how. They PEAK BELL RINGERS. WRITING ON THE SKY.

The probability seems to be that Gen. Baldissera will have to suspend opera­ tions for some time while awaiting rein­ forcements from Italy, although, includ­ ing the troops killed, the Italian forces at the disposal of Italy in that part of Africa is now about thirty battalions of infantry, five battalions of the famous Bersaglieri riflemen (probably the best in­ fantry in the Italian army), about 1,000 Alpine riflemen, about 1.000 ordinary ri­ flemen, ten batteries of artillery, making about sixty piece* nud some 2,000 men. two quick-firing batteries, twelve guns and 400 men; six mortars, with 200 men; three companies of engineer#, three baggage trains with about 1.500 men, or about 40,000 men iu all iu addition to the native troop#, numbering about G.000 men, which raised the entire force to #<une 4U,000 men. Besides -this force the Italians had in their employ about 2.000* Arab scouts. A rumor spread that Gen. Baratieri be­ came aware of the full extent of the dis­ aster. wrote a letter to bis successor. Gen. Baldissera, and then committed suicido by ahooting himself through the heart with a revolver. At thi' Ministry of War. however, the rumor was discredited. As the evening wore on and the very worst nows of the Italian defeat was confirmed, tha feeling of despair which first seized upon the inhabitants gave way to one of the greatest excitement and rage against the Government.

Emperor of Shoa and Abys­ sinia, King of Kings ir. all Africa and monarch of Ethiopia, is the man who is causing all the trouble to Italy by not allowing that country to “protect” him. Menelik has an idea that be js thoroughly capable of protecting hhnsdf end pro­ poses to do it on bis own ground rather than trade off all bls real estate for “pro­ tection” of the European kind. This great ruler is. perhaps, tbe most interesting monarch in all the world. He claims to be a line deacendant of the famous Queen of Sheba, and that his realms are the famous Ophir of the Scriptures. Whatever value may be in thnt claim, it is true that Menelik -has rhe <dd<lme idea of how to be * king. He has been able to teach a great European power a lesson which it will never forger. He has caused all the b.g ministers of state nnd potentates in Eu­ rope to open their eyes very wide nnd to realize that in him they hare a real king to play with. Menelik is certainly a sur­ prise to the King of Italy, and it is said that he will be the most important man in the game of chess which the European powers are ever playing. Be was born in 1818 in his father's kingdom of Shoa. His mother was a beggar whom the king took a fancy to and married. He ruled in Shoa after having spent his youth inojl sorts of wild adventures, and when King John of Abyusinia died in 1889 Menelik march­ ed to Abyssinia, had himself crowned Em­ peror of Abyssinia cud Shoa cud prodahned himself King of Kings. He was en­ abled to do this with Italian interfer­ ence, but he later flung aside this alHance because, ns he said, Italy desired to ab­ sorb his kingdom. The country he Bales is very rich in gold, luxuriant in vegeta­ tion and in every way a dcwrrable place. Its population is 3,000,000. MRS. LELAND STANFORD.

The many tashvllle friends of Mr. and Mrs. Parrish will sympathize deeply with them in their affliction, which will seem doubly sad, coming as it does so soon after the death of both of Mrs. Parrish’s parents. The February 29th just passed Is the last of Its kind that the nineteenth century will see. In 1900, a year dlvlsable by four, there will be no 29th day of February and consequently no leap year with its dire fatality to un­ married-but marriageable men. Tbe reason for all of this as declared by wise men who perch themselves on high towers and watch the stars through telescopes, is that there is not time enough in the century as meas­ ured by the sun for more than twentyfour extra days in 100 years. After 1900, leap years will come regularjy again for another hundred years and none of us of this generation will care a tinker's d-arn whether the sun and calendar have to catch step again in 2000 or not.

A disagreeable incident occurred at the Duane Brown auction, southeast of the village Tuesday, which ought not to be allowed to pass unnoticed by the authorities of Eaton county. A brute by the name of Dan Hunter, who lives In the southwestern part of Kalamo township, put in his appear­ ance at the sale in a beastly state of intoxication, and proceeded to insult everybody. His language was par­ ticularly vile and abusive, and he was finally ordered to leave. He was in his buggy when the horse, who had more sense than the driver, started up and Hunter tumbled out of the vehicle on bis bead. A sober man would have had his neck broken, but he escaped unharmed. Herbert Walker, a little son of Mrs. Geo. Howell, was standing near, and in a spirit of kindness picked up the drunken whelp's bat and handed It to him, whereupon Hunter struck the lad a vicious blow on the bead with the butt end of his1 whip, cutting a big gash in the scalp.

VICTORY FOR WICHITA 8ALOON8. Their Bitter Assistant Attorney General W. I’. Campbell, whose bitter fight against vio­ lators of the prohibition liquor law in Wichita, Kan., has gained for him the sobriquet "Tiger Bill," tendered his resig­ nation to Attorney General Dawes. The sweeping changes in the police department left him without hope of further assist­ ance in his fight, and his resignation gives additional assurance that the whisky war Is over. Campbell has kept up tbe cru­ sade for eight months in defiance of pub­ lic sentiment, and the costs of his unsuc­ cessful prosecutions will aggregate many thousands of dollars. LOOKING FOR A BOOM.

These comparisons are important, because they disclose something of the gruve-disloeation of prices which inade­ quate consumption and combinations have produced." OKLAHOMA SWEPT BY FLAMES. Expressed Intention of Retiring. The Rome Tribune Monday denied that King Humt>rrt bod expressed bis inten­ tion to abdicate. The report grew out of tbe fact that the king said: “My son may negotiate with the negus, but I will never do so." The Tribuna also publish­ es an anti-French article headed: “Inde­ cency and Insolence," in which It protests against French interference in Italian af­ fairs, and declares that France is actu­ ated by implacable hatred of Italy.

It is said that the gates were not down, and there was no aigiizof the approaching train. The coachman started to drive across. The carriage reached the middle of the tracks, when suddenly the headlight of the express ^liot out of the gloom. Be­ fore the frightened coachman could whip up his horses the engine struck the car­ riage full and square. The coach was smashed into kindling wood and scatter­ ed for fifty yards along the track. The coachman was hnrled from his seat and killed. Both of the boys were badly man­ gled, and the youngest one was dead when picked up.

Washington corrmprndeucc: OW. men OF. those thoi have whnt I call an easy life,” ensy time in ,. remarked n young lawyer to bis elderly companion on the avenue the other HL day, referring to n couple of justices of Rf the United States Supreme Court, who were strolling wiprt.ward in a leisurely manner, apparently enjoying' the bracing air. FffFi “Why do yon think [|||Bso?" inquired his h u •' companion, quizzical- N “Well, they hold life positions at the verjr_ front nnd head of an honorable pro­ fession, being the first lawyers of the land; they have nothing to do but render decis­ ions upon cases argued before them, and they are certain of $10,000 a year as long as they live." “Your argument is all right as far as it goes," rejoined the elder, “but you hove forgotten to state the principal proposi­ tion. As u matter of fact, there is uot a more industrious taxly of professional men In this country than the United States Supreme Court, nnd there nre few lawyers who bare to work ns hard aud as contin­ uously as the members of this court. Their lives are anything but easy, us nny one who is luforincvl upon the matter cun tell you. Their duties nre exceedingly respon­ sible. to begin with, as immense business interests are often involved, as well as grave matters of state, and are practical­ ly continuous, requiring the most assidu­ ous application, deep study nnd painstak­ ing research. “The question of the $10,000 a year does not weigh in the matter at all. for any one of them could earn five times the sum in legal practice, which would not take onctu’entieth the time ho now devotes to his duty. The honor of tbe position, tbe pride they take in filling it conscientiously, and the realization of the service they perform for their country and the profession is doubtless compensative to them, and fur­ nishes sufficient inducement for retaining their positions, but jio not for a moment delude yourself that their lives are easy ones." lt* Gowns of Silk. The old lawyer was right; very few peo­ ple know, in fact, to what extent the du­ ties of the members of tbe Supreme Court weigh them down with arduous and exact­ ing details. The public only secs the grave and reverend seigneurs, robed in gowns of silk, sitting soberly in the com­ fortable big chairs of the Supreme Court and listening to arguments being made before them. That, indeed, docs uot look Blank begin*. H* is required to coesidar questions presented for his decision. in his argument tbe attorney made numerous citations of low. of references and prece­ dents, which Mr. Justice Blank must, look up and verify, as lie cannot afford to trust anything to the aitbmey's say so. It way have been a forced interpretation or appli­ cation that the acajous attorney made of the citation, and this, must be examined. Mr. Justice Blank feels also that he must be thoroughly ix>«t«xl on the subject when it comes up for discussion in the privacy of. the consultation chamber, for it is a point of pride with him that he must know us much about it as any of his colleagues. Mr. Justice Blank rises in the morning with the rest of the work-a-day world, and by 9-'10 o’clock Is ready for business. Ho has an office at his residence, with a refer­ ence library of standard legal works and law reports. The Go,erument furnishes him a secretary, who must be an expert stenographer and wbo attends him at his house. Fyr a couple of hours or so in the morning the work of examining citations proceeds, the details varying with the na­ ture of the case. By noon Mr. Justice Blank is nt the Capitol and ready to-take up tfie routine in-the court room. The court aits from 12 until 4 o'clock, from the second Monday,in October until the middle or latter part of May, five days in the week. » uck in me ■.veiling. After adjournment Mr. Justice Blank v.ill niuri- than likely walk home, given a pleasant day. for he feels the need of stretching his limbs after sitting four hours on the bench, or rather in a leather chair. In the evening he puts in his best work on the ease in hand, nnd !* It is an interesting one wifi probably keep at It until a late hour. Perhaps be has his sec­ rotary rend him tbe cited passages or the provisions of the law. or the record of the lower court upon which the case was ar­ gued. while he ponders the matter from an easy chair and behind a cloud of cigar smoke. This » continued until Mr. Jus­ tice Blank has absorbed clear ideas of his own of what ought to be the decision in the cnsc. Every Saturday the members of the court meet nt the Capitol for consultation. They assemble in a little room on the base­ ment floor, used for that purpose alone. Up to this point the public has kept tol­ erably well posted on the movements in the case, but here the court parts com­ pany with the public and the rest can only be surmised. The consultation chamber is the holy of holies where profane foot dare not tread, curious eye may not rest, mid, more than all, where no inquisitive ear can listen. What goes on within these walls is a secret locked in the breasts of the members themselves and they never tell. It is surmised, however, that in this room, nnd at this time the members of the court express their individual opinion upon the case at issue nnd reach a con­ clusion on it. The chief justice thereupon designates one of his nssociates to pre­ pare the opinion of the court tq be deliv­ ered at some future day. Mr. Justice Blank, having now received authorisation to present the opinion of the court upon the case, proceeds to draw it up, and this is a matter requiring care aud deliberation. with rare choice of phrase in laying down the law. He knows that this opinion will be read by every InwyerXiu the country: will be criticised and scrutinised with keen eye and dis­ criminating mind, and he must make it proof against assault for his own pride's sake. Moreover, this is to be the law of the land henceforth upon this particular subject, and he would like to have it stand ns a monument to bis ability, so that in the next century the decision of Mr. Jus­ tice Blank in the year 181m; will be cited in all similar eases. Some of the opinions delivered by mem­ bers of the court are nt great length, going exhaustively into the subject aud in­ trenching the court in a citadel of prece­ dents and references. Of course it re­ quires labor to do this. It takes delving and study, with reasoning and logic. It must be remembered also that just ns soon as this case is disposed of there is "another one pressing hot upon its heels, and so on. day after day nnd week after DEAD.

These schemes of cou­ ntmetI on permit some very novel and u g h t they a thunder­ demand for al months ago, but there's no sign of popularity for such as yet. All sorts of dainty devices calculated to charm a simple gown Into delicious elaboration have kept coming in. To bring the puffy sleeve Into proper line at the shoulder there are stiffened epaulettes that fit, down over the shoulders, ex­ tending In width out to the widest por­ tion of the sleeve puff. These epaulettes are of tlie same width along their en­ tire length, and nre long enough to ex­ tend from the shoulder-blade Hue at the back to the bust line In front. The stock Is attached to the epaulettee, and from the stock, filling the apace be­ tween the sides of the epaulettes down the front, is drawn a soft panel of chiffon tlmt reaches to the belt, the lx*lt In some cases being the final portion of the entire accessory. Sometimes a cor­ responding panel is set between Wbe epaulettes at the liack. You flee, when an affair of this sort is worn' very little of the bodice proper shows. This epau­ lette front, ns it is called, may be made of odds and ends if you like: the epau­ lettes may be of one material and color, the panel front of another, and still a third stuff and shade be employed for belt and stock. The Iwlt of drcsden silk sashing, ending at the back In a lovely baby sash-lxiw. makes, j>erhups, the very prettiest finish. The'readiness with which this acces­ sory adapts itself to left-over bits Is common with many other devices of the same ornamental bent, indeed, we need look no further for the expressed belief on the part of fashionable dress­ makers—for they were the parties that had their ears to the ground—that the prophetic rumbling meant plain bod­ ices. How can a high-priced dressma­ ker hope to excel when her best work can be successfully copied or even im­ proved upon by any woman that la rich In piece bags? A result of this situation is that our best designers are now ex­ perimenting with waists that nre very simple—almost perfectly plain—and making the slight trimming of a materi­ al that will not be found In the left­ over odds and ends.

But this is only the smallest part of their daily life. The immense number of cases on the docket of the* Supreme Court and under argument require them to work early and late out of court. Promptly at 12 o’clock noon the business of the Supreme Court begins. The crier raps for order, and the members of the bar and the visitors witbin tbe chamber rise to their feet as he announces the entry of the court. Slowly the members file in, with funereal tread, robed in their volum­ inous gowns of black silk, the chief justice at the head of the cortege. They take their places in-hind tbelr chairs, and the crier continues: ‘•Oycs. oyex. oyez, all persons having businvM* before the Supreme Court of the United States are admonished to. draw near and give their attention, for the court is now sitting. God save this hon­ orable court." With that the chief justice and bis asso­ ciates bow gravely to the bar, who in re­ turn make respectful obeisance, and all hands sit down, the visitors in the chain-; ber hardly daring to draw breath, so impremx-d by the sight of all this grearix-ss and the canopy of solemnity with which the officials festoon it. If there are any dvdsions to be rendered it is jjone. the justice having charge of the matter either pronouncing the decision extemporaneous­ ly. or, if it is a particular case, reading it SOT VERY 'KXC1TIXO. from manuscript.

An example of this comes next In tbe pictures, a waist of white satin hooking In front and draped with white chiffon gathered at neck and waist. Its garniture consists of light-blue velvet riblion In loops and straps that radiate from the collar, which is surrounded by smaller wired loops.

His father died when he was a child. Ah a young man he became a printer. In 1840. while in New Orleans, he derided to take to tbe stage. Ho went to Chicago in 1848 nnd since has made that city his home. In 1851 he purchased the right to Dan Mar­ ble’s ploys nnd became a star. He went to England and was well received there. But Mr. McVickhr was determined to become a manager, nnd in 1857 he built whnt was christened “Tbe New Chicago Theater." It was opened Nov. 5 of that year. The enterprim* became so thorough­ ly identified with the young, proprietor that McVicker’s Theater became its name •nd M<-Viekcr’s Theater it remains. Mr. McVicker himself appeared as Cousin Joe in “The Rough Diamond" on tbe opening night, and was greeted by an enthusiastic audience. During the war the theater continued to divert the public mind with the lx«t talent the dramatic field afforded. In 1871 Mr. McVicker rebuilt his thea­ ter. He opened in August of that year and assumed the Igpding role in the com­ edy “Extremes.” The Chicago fire de­ stroyed the playhouse, but in 1872 it was rebuilt for the second time. In 1885 the theater was remodeled and was again harned to the ground Aug. 2& 1800.. Mr. McVicker was visiting in the East. Upon the receipt of the dispatch announcing his loss he determined npoq the immediate restoration of his builifing for the fifth time. ago.

Probably no one variety of fruit han -given rise to. as much discussion as to jta merit*, or wi3er divergencies of Opinion as to It* quality, a* tbe Kieffer pear, says tbe Orange Judd Farmer. ?t bas been the subject of unstinted praise, as well as tbe target for gen­ eral abuse. The pear was originated by Mr. Peter Kieffer of Roxbury, near ^Philadelphia. and is a seedling of tbe Worthless Chinese Sand pear. Down­ ing intimates that It was accidentally crossed with tbe Anjou—a thing wlth'n tbe possibilities. In its favor, the .fol­ lowing may be said: It is a most vigor­ ous grower, and it has a foliage that /s unequalled by any of our standard varieties. Jt is also an early as well as a prolific ytader. In a large part of (the country the fruit will not grade high as to quality. The specimen from {which our illustration was mado was )grown in Columbia County, New York. Growers are firmly of the opinion that their Kieffers are much improved in quality when Bartletts are grown near them. sothat the pollen from the Bart­ letts can reach and modify the Kief­ fers. Tbe fruit is large and moderate­ ly long, round, full In tbe middle, and tapering to both ends. Tbe skin is a deep, brilliant yellow, and such speci­ mens as secure sunlight have a ruddy cheek. The stalk is stout and of mod­ erate length, the calyx open In a medi­ um, meven basin. Tbe flesh is white, a little coarse, and at its best very juicy and sprightly, with a decided quince flavor. It must, be carefully ri­ pened In tbe dark to attain Its best con­ dition—ripening at tbe north the last of 3c*»o"bcr and early i® November. Adding ■ Plant Room. IT It were underwood how easily, and at'how little expense, a plant room can be added to au ordinary farm or vil­ lage bouse, there would certainly be more of these uneTul nnd pleasure-giv­ ing adjuncts to country and suburban homes. The illustration gives a sug­ gestion of a very meat aud simple addi­ tion that will let In' enough sunlight, •even though the'roof be of shingles re­ stead of glass, so keep plants growing thriftily nil winter and to stnrt a large will shine directly gd tbe animal* for at least a jiortlon of tbe lime. Tbe statdo* *bould l>e warm aud free from draughts, yet It Is l»etter for the health of the cows that they be turned out of them for a while each pleasant day to give them a chance to breathe the pure outside air. Close.’ unvenfllated stables are u menace to tbe health of animals kept Iu them continually from fall to spring, as is the practice of some dairymen with their cotvs, under the Impression that they get more milk by so doing. This may be, yet In the end I believe that they will be tbe gainer by giving the cows a moderate amount of exposure to the air, even in winter. Betting the Hens. The early broods of chickens bring the most money. Aa the eggs are daily gathered, place them carefully in a basket, lined with soft cotton, and keep them in a moderately warm room, say about the temperature of fifty-five to sixty degree*. With a lend pencil mark the day of the month on them when laid. - Eggs over .a month old should not be set. though It Is often done. Before setting the hens, clean out the nests, then whitewash with hot wash, adding one pint of coal oil to a bucket of tbe wash. Have the bottom of nests well saturated with the wash. For making nests, sawdust, oat or wheat chaff are excellent; sprin­ kle a little sulphur through the chaff first. Be sure the hen wants to set liefore giving ber eggs; when hen is ready to set, place thirteen eggs in nest; if the hen is a large one. fifteen eggs may be given her. Bet three to flVe bens at a time, so that chickens may'be given to two or three hens and tbe other hens shut up for a few days, un­ til they forget about their chickens. Then they may be let out with the ■otner hensj they yj|| sotnj iliT* 12!f? laylrig. Mark on the buS of each hen the day she was set and when she will hatch. After the hen Is set, take a box and place It In the setting-room.

Fertilizers for jieach trees have been experimented with for eleven years on a farm well adapted for fruit, located on thejrap-rock soil of Somerset Coun­ ty, New Jersey. The experiment sta­ tion concludes that it pays to manure peach orchards, because it extends tbe profitable bearing jn-riod of the trees. Fertilizers or stable 'manure contain­ ing all the elements of plant food— nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash— were more useful than any one or two of these elements. Chemical fertiliz­ ers proved more profitable than barn­ yard manure. Mom Roses. Mors roses are very hardy, but few of them flower after June.

While actual Infection may not come from foul stables, they certainly have a tendency to weaken the constitutions of the animals kept tn them, thereby rendering them mere liable to filseaw.

CODES FOR CABLE L’SE CIPHERS MUST BE UNIFORM HEREAFTER. After Jan. 1, 1 Stiff, Kuainc** Hon*elin««aed iu Foreign Trade Mn«t Conform to the C*«ge of the Inter­ national Telegraph Bureau at Berne. ’New Telegraph Rnlr. On the 1st of January. 1SU8, tbe busi­ ness bouses iu America that are engaged In foreign trade nnd employ lb.- cnble will, be compelled to adopt a single uniform code Instead of those nt present in use. As is well known, banks, commission houses, mercantile establishments and manufacturers now use groups of arbi­ trary words In sending their telegram* abroad. Each of these words conveys the meaning of a whole sentence, and not only economises coat, but preserves tbe secrecy of dispatches, which cannot be understood by the opera tors or other person* Into whose hands they mny fall without the use of a code to translate them. . . An International telegraphic bureau al Berne la supported by tbe various govern­ ments who own telegraph and cable lines, and 1* maintained for the purpose of mak­ ing uniform rates and rules fur interna­ tional business. Representatives of sueb governments hold conventions every five years for the purpose reviewing the work of the bureau and faking such ac­ tion as is neevssary and exix-dieut for their mutual advantage. At the Iasi^in­ ternational conference, which was held in Paris in 1891, it was decided to require all patrons of the cable and telegraph sys­ tems in tbe countries belonging to the union to use an authorized uniform code, which It is proposed to make universal. A commission was appointed to prej»are a vocabulary in seven languages—English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, PortuK3C Lp’iD-CP'4 tl'v'r work Submitted fof approval at the flat Confer­ ence. which Is to be held at Buda Pest in the coming Juue. Copies of the proposed vocabulary have been forwarded to the United States for inspection. It is n large volume and contains 250,000 words selected from the language* named and arranged in alphabetical order. While the American cable companies have not accepted She new code, they will be com­ pelled to do so, for the reason that for­ eign companies will not accept messages In any other cipher after Jan. 1, 1898. The patrons of the cable are not requir­ ed to accept the arbitrary meaning ot the wards given iu the official vocabulary, but are allowed to apply them to any sen­ tences or figures or combinations they pleus<'. That is, each patron of the cable system may arrange hi* own private code as at present, but must use the symbols furnished by the international union. Therefore the same message may be sent to a dozen different firms and have a dif­ ferent meaning to every one of them. This will make it necessary for the Gov­ ernment of the Unitefl States to arrange new official cipher*. Those in use at pres­ ent hy tbe State and Navy Departments arc oM and cumbersome, and it is be­ lieved that several foreign governments have translations of the State Depart­ ment. 1 "sited States ministers in Madrid liare been amased at times to fiiscover that the officials of the foreign office there were familiar with the contents of cipher fiisiiatcb-K received from Washington, and when Mr. Trescott’s peace commis­ sion went to Chili in 1882, ibcy found tlut tbe minister of foreign affairs had traw»latioiM of their instructions from Wash­ ington almost as soon as themselves. It has been freely charged that a farmer minister of the United States at Santiago gave or sold a copy of oar code Xo the •ChMian Government. Several time* the Secretary of State ha* proposed t* frame a new one, but it bus never been accom­ plished. Among European governments new codes are adopted on the 1st of Jan­ uary every year, and the old one*-destroy­ ed. MILL ON THE CUBAN WAR. New York Senator Make* a Strong Speech in the Senate. Benatoni Sherman and Hili were the cunsjiicnous figures in the Cuban debate in the Senate Thursday, the New York Senator forcibly urging tl»e mercenary character of the jwnding resolutions, w hile Mr. Bherninu upheld them with another graphic arraignment of Spain and Gen. Weyler. It was the fourth day of the de­ bate on the conference report aud yet there was no evidence of a near approach to n final vote. After an honr was consumed in clearing away routine matters, the Cuban resolu­ tions were laid before tbe Senate, and Mr. Hill of New York was recognized. He jKiiuted out that this being a confer­ ence rejwrt the resolutions could not be amended. He would, therefore, vote against the report in order that at a sub­ sequent time amendments might be made. The Senator particularly objected to the third clause of the resolutions, stating that the United States has not intervened in the straggles between any European governments and their colonies, but that, owing tu the proximity of Cuba, tjie Unit­ ed States should be prepared to inter­ vene. This he declared to be ambiguous aud unmeaning. We had intervened in such controversies. We had intervened and recognised the conntries which had been colonies of Spain. What the resolution sought to convey was a threat to intervene. To this extent the resolution was unnecessary. Jt is sub­ ject to doubtful construction and is a mischief breeder. It was liable to com­ promise ns. The phrase the “United State* should Im? prepared to protect the legitimate interests of our citizens by in­ tervention" sounded like a threat or it was buncombe. “If thia resolution means that we should increase our army, let ua say *o frankly and frame a bill for that purjiose,” said Mr. Hill. “If it means we should increase our navy, let us state it frankly and fearlessly and frame a bill to that end. Let us not indulge in idle Imjs.sIs nnd threats and doubtful phrase* as to 6flr 'belffj .prepared tjMJrotcct legititnate interests by lbtervifi®n.u Mr. Hill asked what these “legitimate" interests referred to were. Were there any “illegitimate Interests?" This was not a projxisition to interrene in the cause of humanity or to aid in the cause of free­ dom or to stop bloodshed, but to “pro­ ted our legitimate interests." Mr. Hill uttered the words with great scorn. TWOBOOMSLAUNCHED OHIO AND IOWA PRESENT ••FAVORITE SONS."

Behind locked door* thp’New York As­ sembly voted on the Raines excise bil^ Thursday, and before adjournment It passed by a rote ot 84 yeas to 59 nays. The Raines liquor bill is a. measure to put the entire liquor traffic and interests un­ der State control. It abolishes all local excise boards and creates a State com­ missioner at a salary of $5,000, a deputy at $4,000, three insjtector* at $4,000, $3.­ 000 and $2,000, and sixty inspectora-atlarge at $1,200 each and expense*. The commissioner's bureau is located at Al­ bany. The bil! raises the license rates in New York city to $800, ib Brooklyn to $G50. and in smaller cities to $500. The preseut license rate in New York for sa­ loons is $25u, nnd the granting of licenses is at the option of the municipal excise commissiouers. Under the Raines bill all n)ght licenses and tbe acale of liquor on Sundays ore pro­ hibited except in hotels with meals. This prohibition extends to clubs. It fixes a fine for a violation of the law at uot less than twice the amount of the license. It allows local option in town* but not in cities. It compels the jiosting of liquor licenses in windows of saloons, and also requires saloons to leave ojh>u the shade* daring the time they must close. No sa­ loon can do business within 2(X) feet of a church or school. The bill gives one-third of the net reve­ nue collected to the State and two-thirds to the county. Under tbe present law the entire tax goes to tbe county or State. When first presented to the Legislature the bill equally divided the tax betwee* the counties and the State.

About twenty-five of the teachers of Nashville and vicinity attended Lbe teacher's association at Middleville last Saturday and report a very in­ teresting and profitable session. They speak very highly of the entertain­ ment provided by the Middleville teachers and citizens and express themselves as being anxious to repay tbelr kindness. State Supt. Patten­ gill added much to the pleasure and profit of the meeting by his timely suggestions and a very interesting ac­ count of some of the scenes and ad­ ventures which be passed through on his recent trip with the Michigan Press Association through Mexico. Samuel J. Robinson, one the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Castleton township, who has been ill for a considerable time at his home five miles northeast of the village, died Tuesday night about ten o’clock of hepatic colic. Mr. Robinson has been connected with the Grand Rapids division of the Michigan Central road ever since It was built and had a very extensive acquaintance among the patrons of the road, who will miss his genial face and pleasant smile from the old familiar place at the baggage car door. He leaves a wife and three children tu mourn his departure. The funeral will occur at the opera house in this village on Saturday morning at eleven o'clock and the re­ mains will be interred tn Lakeside cemetery. It Is a general remark among the farmers that this winter has been a revelation. Last, fall it was the gen­ eral complaint that there was not enough feed in the country by onehalf to winter the stock. Now the re­ mark is as common that stock never looked better at this time of the year. The horses and cattle have been bet­ ter boused than ever before, and have stood tbe winter well; although they have not bad the feed generally given them, especially hay. The fact is that one-half the fodder and hay ordinarily given to the cattle seems to have been wasted. Farmers who had hardly any hay in the fall, now have hay to sell. Their stock has done so well on other feeds carefully given, that it is letter all around, and a great saving. ofte sound sense and good judgnt Is contained in the following from an agricultural comtempory: "The farmer's profession can be ele­ vated above its present. We miss half tbe wear and tear in life when we acquire the faculty of profiting by the experience of other men. It proves nothing that some finely educated man has failed in farming, ur that some uneducated men have succeeded. Ed­ ucation will help a man, but It will never make one. We believe that a farmer’s business stands upon the same basis that supports all other kinds of business, that a general educa­ tion which is useful to tbe doctor, the lawyer, the man upon tne board of trade, Is just as valuable to the man who tills the soil, and that pro­ fessional training In schools of agri­ culture will have the worth upon the farm that the knowledge and discip­ line of the school has in practice be­ fore the courts.” J LOCAL SPLINTERS Smoke the Elk cigar.

That the buying was of a nature to anticipate actual consump­ tion mauy months they were fully warn­ ed, but they had more hope than observa­ tion and went on piling up goods.

Tbe remarks of Mr. Cousins, of lows, in support of the resolution were the feature of the proceeding*. The Senate had in band the public opening of the Uncompahgrc Indian reservation, but noth­ ing of importance was done. Cuba had the entire attention of the Senate Thursday, speeches being made by Senators Gray. Chilton and Cafferty, the debate being enlivened by many spirited incident*. Mr. Gray’s plea for Cuba brought on a running cross-fire of com­ ment and inquiry from Mr. Hale. The Delaware Senator caused much amuse­ ment by referring to Mr. Huie us “the Senator from Spain."

Schenck'* dis­ tinguished services in times of war and peace. He could not understand the pur­ pose of the attack. Mr. McCreary said that be had made no attack ou Gen. Schenck. Mr. Grosvenor wanted to know thou what the purpose was. If it was not intended to assail the memory of a dead man like a ghoul then the utterances of Mr. McCreary were Idle word*. In regard to the Emma mine* the best proof of Gen. Schenck's good intentions was that he himself invested large sums of money in those stocks nnd continued to pay the as­ sessments to tbe day of bis ilea th. As to the book on draw poker ho had written out a few rules of the great American game by request of a friend aud had been, of cunrae. very much chagrined when pub­ lic reference to it had be»m made. He abused no confidence when he said that Gen. Schenck told a friend he knew just enough about poker to always lose his money. As n poker player, however, h< dotdred to say that he died without leav­ ing an unpaid poker debt. In conclusion, Mr. Grosvenor rehearsed Gen. Schenck's career and paid a glowing tribute to his services in the nriny, iu Congress and in tho diplomatic service.

Bonueta Seem Delicioualy Dainty and Hata Arc Perky and Frewh — Every­ thing in Millinery Now Haa a De* cidedly Springlike Appearance. LL. the millinery “openings” have been celebrated, and those who at­ tended them have settled down to the conclusion that Easter headgear will present very few absolutely new features. Yet the bonnets seem so «d e 1 I c i <> usly dainty nnd the hats so perky and fresh that one quite loses sight of tbe fact that there are few changes. In 'general, hats are lighter, flowers are spread, brims'- are transparent, trimming is crisp, aud everything Is as spring­ like ns can be. Flowers nnd ribbon's are the characteristic trimmings for the season, and there is a tendency to cut sway from the heavy plumes that have made tbe winter hats so picturesque. Pleated silks, ribbon nnd gauze seem In place on all hats; indeed, one may almost say that no hat should be with­ out something of the sort. One of the few real novelties Is a little turban­ like hat of the gort that comes first In the accompanying illustrations. These are in endless variety. On them arc yards and yards of crisp mousseline slutlx- whose brim Is pushed up In t he center and that is recalled as being very- fashionable only a few yeans ago. One of this sort enmck next In the pic­ tures. Jts wee crown is there aot&ewbere, but It is not to be seen, because of tbe scallopy crisp. niche of gauze in dreaden colors aud a thousand pleati that Is laid along'the top of the brUn. The crown is at the base of the light bunch of flowers that triumphs out of the very center of this gauzy maze, but who cares? The flower nods, the leaves spray prettily over all. aud the many colored ribbons Hint are woven Into the brim throw soft varied lights on the pretty face beneath. The hats of the season have an air of vouching for the prettiness of the face beneath. for one feels that only a pretty girl would put on such a hat. or at any rate, that she would be pretty once she got,It on. N<> springtime description of lints would do unless the latest demonstra­ tion of the sailor were dlseuHsed. And how unlike tin- simple- sailor is the sailor of to-day! It will never on earth be burled, and by nature It Is too much at home on the water to ever come to grief there. This season It has a brim of rough straw Ju many colors, or a brim of lace shirred closely nnd wired, or one that Is nil woven of the stems of flowers, the flowers themselves adding to the criss-cross of colors. About the crown for a bund. Is jeweled or gold ribbon. The Itaud should be as wide as tbe crown is high, and it should sparkle and glitter. Wherever the fancy elects pretty wide-spreading and many looped Ijows of ribbon are placed, ami the ribbon must la* multi-colored. Caught with one of the bows will lie a bunch of high standing flowers. Such a hat must present all the colors <X the season—that is. turquoise blue, bright green, soft rose, gray and black and a touch of claret. Of the result of all this elaboration you may judge by glam-lug at the fourth of these pictures. Of course then* an- other sailors, aud ]M*rhaps the most frivolous demonstralion of this oimph'tely corrupted head­ dress is n sailor crown set on an accpr- de sole or pHtper-Hke taffeta crinkled into the tiniest accordion pleats and cut Into rutties aix>ut a hand breadth wide. Then the ruffles are ]rfnked out along the edge. ami on a tiny wire frame tin* rutile, nil crinkled ami crisp, is laid round and round till you can’t! see where it begins or en<b«. It seems like a collection of pinks or a smother of crysnutheiuums. ami right up out of the center stands an aigrette. Such a headpiece is a hat, u turlsin or a bonnet, just as you wear It. and if it is unbe­ coming. It Is ^because you have not bad seu*H‘ enough to adjust its folds to the most bewitching imiumtnenrt of every gr«>d jioint you have. These lit­ tle affairs are to i»e very popular. They are as light as a thistle down, nnd come in-all sorts of bright colors, geranium, turquoise-blue and bright gra»w-gn*eu being three of the j>et shades. Their lightness is not an exceptional recommendation, because all the new hats are of featherweight. This is a comforting discovery, and another one Ik that the easy shape so long worn, the one next shown, with a medium crown raid a brim scooping wide In front and narrowing to the ears and back, now apjH-ars with a win- crown and with a brim of colored graxses woven in aud out between rhe hair-like wires. A ruche of crisp grass-green tulle Ik at the very edge of the brim, a loose knot of sprangly ox-eyed daisies or miniature aud ragged sunflowers Is laid on the top of the brim, there is a A OLOlilFlED POKE SHAPE, lift of gauzy riblxm nil yellow and green, bla- k and white and so on, ami dlon-pteated sicken brim, all wired to a few In-woven strands of colored grass stand up like a frolic of cryaanthecover th-.- meshes of the wire crown. mums. That Is nJl. but It la so light, so pretty The tendency in big hats is toward cutting them cluse at the sides and spreading only in front, but there are fewer of the crazily shaped freaks of straw that were ventured a year ago. and tbe fashion, always trying, even to a young face, of turning the brim up straight from the forehead, no longer claims attention as a novelty. Thu very piquant nnd very young girl who found itecoming rhe touch of audacity such a lutt gave may Htlll wear the shape, but most of ife will try tbe de­ murer brlrn that seems to shade the eyes and the brow. Among the demure effects of the season, and for tluit mat­ ter of several seasons back. Is the em­ pire poke. As seen In tin* last picture, this is an exaggerated Salvation Army bonnet, with Iik brim starting upward suddenly In front Instead of drooping low, and by the tilt being as much more saucy as demureness always Is when there is a twinkle In tluj eye and a dimple a-’urk under the prim look.

Then the rote was taken ns previously stated. The first resolution censured Mr. Bnyard "in the name of the American people"; the second condemned in general terms the delivery of partisan speeches by our foreign representatives.

In the House of Commons Friday after­ noon Mr. Chamberlain said, that Eng­ land's ideal policy was tbe recovery of the Soudan, nnd that there could Irf- no real |ienee or prosperity fur Egypt until the Soudan was recovered. Hr asserted that the present policy of the Government represented the immediate needs of Egypt and denied that Great Britain was plung­ ing into a policy of adventure. Great Britain could not evacuate Egypt until her work there was accomplished. The reverses of the Italians in Abyssinia had encouraged the dervishes to resume hostile activity and measures must be taken to restrain them before the situa­ tion ijeeame worse.

THE NASHVILLE NEWS. �MARCH 27, JW*. ARTICHOKES. Fremont, Mich, March 20th, ’WJ. Editor Skws: As 1 have had five years’ experience in raising tbe improved white French artichoke*, I belfeve it is my duty to say a few words on this subject, think­ ing they may be interesting to reader* of The News. I will say right here that I believe that every farmer who keeps stock of any kind ought to raise artichokes. Five years ago I obtained not quite half a bushel, and from that amount I raised nearly one hundred bushels of fine tubers. I hardly knew what to do with them, for I had never had any experience in feeding them. Nevertheless I began feeding my hogs and in a short time I noticed them improving wonderfully, and I began to be considerably interested, and by the time tbe artichokes were gone my hogs were ready for market with hardlrauy expense, only requiring a little corn in the finishing process. 1 believe I can put my bogs on the market forty per cent cheaper than when I fed all corn. Ever since I be­ gan raising artichokes I have fed them to all of my stock. 1 have fed them for the past three winters to my milch cows, and must say 1 think they are equal to any root grown for cows, and three times as easily grown. I raised about 1400 bushels this last season. There were many hundred bushels grown around here last season, and will be many more this year. Many people think if they get the artichokes- In the ground once they can never get rid of them, but this is a mistake. I have cleaned them out twice. I simply let them get up about sixteen inches; at that time the old tuber has decayed in giving life to tbe top, and the little ones have not formed yet, and If they are plowed under at this time It is the last of them. I know this to be true, for I have tried it. In putting in the crop I plant about the same as for potatoes, one eye on a piece and one piece iu a hill, three feet by eighteen inches in tbe row. At this rate it will take about three bushels to the acre. I find that low muck ground Is the very best. Any ground that Is too frosty for other crops Is all right for artichokes, as freezing will not injure them for grow­ ing. The white French doesn’t run all over the ground: they grow all in a bunch, more so than potatoes, and in pulling the stalks they all come up, making the digging of them an easy Job. 1 now plant where my bogs can De turned in, and let them do their own digging. I also think a great deal of the tops, for they make a fod­ der that Is equal to anything for feed Ing horses and cattle. 1 cut aud shock the same as corn fodder. I hope I have said something that will be of some interest to your readers and will now close. Yours Truly, CORKERS. Hard work Is the grand secret of success. Nothing but rags and poverty can come of idleness. Elbow-grease is tbe only stuff to make gold with. No sweat, no sweet. Every man must build up his own fortune nowadays. Shirt-sleeves rolled up lead on to broadcloth. Believe in travelling stop by step; don’t expect to be rich In a jump. Slow and sure Is better than fast and flimsy. Every little helps, as tbe sow said when she snapped at a gnat. Every day a thread makes a skein in a year. Brick by brick houses are built. We creep before we walk, walk before we run, and run before we ride. In getting rich, the more haste the less speed. Haste trips up its own heels. Hasty climbers have sudden falls. Make as few changes as you can: trees often transplanted bear little fruit. IfyoL have difficulties in one place, you will have them In another: if you inove because it Is damp in the valley you will find It cold on the hill. Where will you find land without stones, or meat without bone*? Stickto-lt Is the conqueror. He who can wait long enough will win. Do not be above your business. He who turns up his nose at his work Suarrels with bls bread and butter. ie is a poor smith who is afraid of his own sparks; there Is some discomfort in all trades, except ch I mney-s weep­ ing. _____ _ The sudden death of Sheriff Gar­ ner’s son. of Flint, at Detroit, on the the occasion of the Michigan Club banquet, is attributed indirectly to cigarette smoking. A few weeks ago a boy died at Niles, whose system had become thoroughly poisoned by tbe deadly cigarette, and last week another young man suffered a tortur­ ing iliuess and an awful death from tbe same cause. Such instances as these*right*in our own state ought to be a warning to all young men who Jtre afflicted with this deplorable habit. A recent analysis by a leading chemist developed the fact that there are five ingredients in every cigarette, each one of which is calculated to destroy human life, while In the cigar and pipe there is but one poison—nicotine. First there is the oil of the tobacco, next, the oil of tbe imported paper, which is nearly as destructive; third, the arsenic Introduced to make tbe Spcr burn white and add a peculiar von fourth, the saltpeter put in the tobacco to prevent it from moulding: and finally the opium that Is sprayed on tbe tobacco to give it the insidious Influence wnich It possesses over the brain. I* it at all to De wondered at that the animal life of a young man is killed when such things as these are taken Into the system. BBBT^OF ALL.

Some Instances, too, of the Modern Treatment for . Neuralgia—it is a Woman’s Disease. t > Vge sale for the Pink Pill*. “ They are a popular medicine,” he added, "and do much good.” . D. G. Freeman, of No. 97 Main Street, Springville, N. Y., the well-known and popu­ lar photographer, was called upon by an­ other Timet reporter who learned that be had likewise bcaru something about Pink Pilis and their efficacy in curing neuralgia. " Yes, he said, in answer to questions, “ my wife waa greatly benefited by the use of Dr. I Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. She I does nnti like newspaper notoriety, and so I do not like tossy much on the subject.'’ “ What was her ailment, Mr, Freeman ? ” “ Well, partly neuralgia, but that will do. I I will not enter into details, and what I have said must suffice. Just put in your paper for­ me that she was greatly benefited; cured by the pills when doctors railed—and let it go at that. The remedy was recommended to her by Mrs. Dean Jones, oflhis place, who, I un­ derstand, was also greatly benefited. I wfil be pleased to tell anybody who calls all about the pills.” At Prior’s drug store, Springville, it was raid that they sell more of Dr. Williams' Pink rills than any other patent medicine. Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine, but are a thor­ oughly scientific preparation, the result of years of careful study on the part of an emi­ nent graduate of McGill Medical College, Montreal, and of Edinburg University, ScotK, and they were successfully used by him is everyday practice for years before be­ ing offered for general rale.

Tbe year 1896 is a reddetter year for vegetable growers. It murks tbe tricautenary of the Introduction of the potato to civilized man. 451r Walter Raleigh, wbo find n hand in most ■things in those days, did lhe Introduc­ ing. In the duys when Sir Waiter had ■to do with It the potato waa not tbe •everyday vegetable which It has since become. Sir Walter planted the flint one. omitting appropriate ceremonies, on his estate at Younghnl. uenr Cork. It took at once. It had not only found Its favorite soil but it had discovered ta chosen people. Nothing could have vecn better suited to the land. It was «he custom of the people, whenever a force large enough to make It practi­ cable could l>e got together, to make raids upon the territory of their neigh- , bors. The O’Brodar harried the lands । j . I ■ 1 of the O’Brieu, and ns soon uh the O’Brien recovered he harried the lands of the O’Brodnr, doing his best to de­ stroy all the food within reach of the O’Brodnr family, that they might come tn a proper understanding of their In­ iquities. The potato was hailed ns a preventer of famine. Neither O’Brien por O’Brodnr muld spare the time to reasons, licsides prejudice, may be given for thia neglect. Cultivation had not yet improved tbe wild stock todts present perfection. The proper inodes of cooking bad not yet been bit upon. And, lastly, vegetable fowl of any sort was less sough*, after, or rather less within the reach of tbe mass of the people, titan It Is now. At present It Is thp ubiquitous vegetable. without which no meal Is complete. Could a member of the Royal Socie­ ty, which In 1663 adopted measures for extending the. cultivation of the 8olannm Tuberosum, with a view to pre­ vention of famine In England and Ire­ land. have accompanied a newspaper representative through the wonderful potato region of Colorado on a recent occasjon he must have been satisfac­ torily convinced that “things do move." In the beginning of the sixteenth century potatoes were brought from America to Europe for cultivation In gardens as a curiosity. Last year there was forwarded, from one section of Colorado alone, 6,000 carloads of "spuds," each car averaging 400 bush­ els. Only a few years ago, when some en­ terprising farmers commenced the cul­ tivation of potatoes, on what then ap- • peared to be a large scale, they w«*re heartily ridiculed. Time has proven. and only a very short time at that, the correctness nnd sound Judgment of the level-headed grangers who fully re.ilIzod tbe special adaptability of the warm sandy soil, of certain portions of Colorado, to the successful production of the homely, unfashionable tuber. While there have been In a few cases exceptionally large profits In this in­ dustry in the main It has been a steady, profitable business for such men ns are willing to give it attention. Idaho. Utah, and Montana have been envious­ ly watching the success of Colorado in this line, and they are now energeti­ cally competing with the gold-silver State for the trade of Kansas and Ne­ braska. Freight rates, however, will TME HORSE-POWER •ift carefully all the earth under the rule of tbe enemy, and nothing else would remove the plant. Such was 'the warlike beginning of the plant iu Breland, the home of its adoption. About the time that tbe O’Brien and O’Brodnr found their occupations as creators of famine taken from them people began to write long and learned ■discourses upon the new plant, as they •do now on the X ray and other reninrk-able things. And they described it •carefully, mo that those who had never seen the plant could form some idea -ot its wondfous nature. ••The roote is thlcke, fat. nnd tuber• ous; some of them, as round ns a ball, some ouall or egge-fashlon. some longer and others shorter; which knobble rootes are fastened unto tbe stalKs with an infinite number of threddle.strings." But though it attracted much atten­ tion, It was long before outside of Ire­ land tbe potato begun to receive popu­ lar approval. For more tlian a century it languished In obscurity in England. Utile known and less prized. It was confined to the gardens of botanists and the curious, and when used at all as food, only at the tables of the rich, as a rare vegetable rather than as a standing dish. The potatoes furnished ♦o the table of James I. bore the high price of two sliilllngs per pound. In JG87 Woolridge writes of the tubers: *T do not bear that it has yet been es- 0401047953 aaayed whether they may not be propa­ gated In greater quantities for the use «C swine and other cattle." Morti■aer a Garden Kalendar for 170ft says, ■tigtaingly, "The root is very near the ■Mture of the Jernaal<*ip artichoke, altiaough not so good and wholesome, bat •fit mar prove good for swine." Several DIGGER. not give them entree to tbe more East­ ern markets—east of the Missouri river. Pfobably there Is no section of the agricultural world where tbe cultiva­ tion of potatoes Is so simplified and systematized ns in tbe Greeley district of Colorado. Seeing the enormous pos­ sibilities of this Industry, an enterpris­ ing manufacturer of farming imple­ ments turned his attention a couple of years ago to machinery for prepar­ ing and handling this crop in all Ils stages. The result has been In the pro­ duction of potatoes similar to tbe In­ troduction of benders and thrashing machines in the raising of small grains —a marked decri-ase in the cost of pro­ duction. Only by the use of this machinery are the potato farmers of the far West to-day enabled to sell their product in competition with that of Illinois ami Missouri in the markets of Chicago and St. Louis. They literally make a business of raising potatoes, and know­ ing that a too rapid continuation of crops is disadvantageous rotate their crop of potatoes from one section of tbe farm to another, alternating with wheat and tbe prolific and fertilizing alfalfa, thus insuring n constantly re­ curring replenishment of the light. , randy soiL which has proyen so well adapted to potato growing. 1 In tbe planting season one of the in­ genious machines above referred to Is loaded with seed potatoes and started on its automatic labors across a field. It Is accompanied by a wagon con­ taining additional /’seed." With the motive power supplied by two fine Norman horses and under tbe supervis­ ion of one man this machine will plant six acres per day. Tbe planter may be adjusted to drill, drop, and cover in hills from ten to twenty-one inches apart, as may be most desirable. The lutrvest of the potato crop us­ ually commences about Sept. 15 and continues until tbe middle or latter part of October. During thia season no one need complain of "no work."

MARY LORD DE i StH'> ■-------------------------- - FACTS ABOUT THE WOMAN MR. HARRISON WILL WED. n Bicycle or Charming. Kot Exactly BeaatifuL If ex-TTeaident Harriaon’n Opinions can be inferred from his choice of a bride, be can have little sympathy for the so-called new?woman, for Mra. Mary Ixird Dimmick is her very antithesis. The fact that she never wore, and steadfastly refuse* to wear, shirt waists Is n good key to her character. She dislikes anything stiff or mannish or severe, and. though she dresses plainly and generally in dark col­ ore, she always chooses soft-things that cling to her in an affectionate way, as if they were a part of herself, nnd had not been merely put on. She does not care much, either, about their being in the height of fashion, as long as they are be­ coming. All, or nt least most, of her tastes and accomplishments are feminine. She is passionately fond of intitm.*. embroiders beautifully and is an excellent nurse. During tiie season she goes constantly to the opera. She knows every one of Wag­ ner's operas, from beginning to end, nnd can toll the instant she hears a musical selection just what it is and who wrote it. Embroidery seems to rank next to music in her favor nnd many of her friends pos­ sess elegant specimens of her work. Mra. Dinunick has not the smallest interest in athletics of any kind. She was never on a bicycle, ami doe-; not approve of the machine, and she does not ride, drive or skate. Her Hmo Is pretty evenly divided between books ami embroidery and the opera. She is a great reader, and keeps up with all the current literature, though she cares little for anything classical. She has a fad for collecting autographs, and Itossesseit the signature* of many wellknown people, among them being those of Jean do Iteszke and Richard Mansfield. Mansfield is her personal friend, and she is his devoted admirer. lie is her favor­ ite actor, and she considers him one of the greatest lights of the modern stage. Allison, by the way. has the honor of be­ ing approved by her ns a candidate for the presidency. In appearance Mrs. Dimmlck is not ex­ actly beautiful, but she is so bright and vivacious, and so aristocratic in her bear­ ing, that she gives one the impression of being so. As a young girl, she was noted for her personal charms, apd io Prince­ ton. the home of her childhood, they still talk of her beauty. The wedding is to take place at uoon on April <1, in St. Thomas' Church. New York, nnd will be extremely quiet. It is understood that there will be only twelve guests, relatives, and some intimate friends of the ex-l’resident. and that there will be no wedding breakfast. Lieut. Parker will give the bride away. After the ceremony the newly wedded pair will go to the general's home in Indianapolis, where a public reception will be given in their honor. A boudoir for the bride has been planned by herself, and she has per­ sonally selected the hangings and other furnishings for it. In August they will go to tl-e Arliroudacks, whore a simple little cottage Is now being built for them. INDIANA DISTRICT DELEGATES.

If he has use for tbe fodder, a crop of oats and peas, and carver grown therewith, for plowing under in the fall, would be a good order to follow before seeding down. If this plan Is adopted.

The old method of hand grinding more dltlleult and retards the planting will probably continue for the decomposition of tbe bone in the soil, while fat itself has no value as plant food. When bones are steamed, the fat Is removed and tbe bone is mare easily ground. Moreover, tbe chemical nature of the nitrogen compounds ap­ pears to be changed in such a manner that the meal undergoes decomposition in tbe soli more rapidly than In case of raw bone. The presence of easily de­ caying nitrogen compounds in bonek hastens, in the process of decomposi­ tion. to dissolve more or loss of tbe insoluble phosphate. Bone meal should contain from 3 to 5 per cent, of nitro­ gen. and from 20 to 25 per cent, of phos­ phoric acid.

A public announcement of his candidacy will mm>d be made by one of the Secrvtary'a close friends iu the Sen­ ate. Tills announcement, however, will not be made until President Cleveland has formally stated bis purpose not to Francesco Crispi. whose resignation as Premier of Italy has been accepted by King Humbert, and wbow Ministry* has fallen wi|h him, baa had a remarkable career. Mure than once fans be saved his country from ruin by his masterly states­ manship. He is distinctively a statesman of crises, nnd smaller men naturally hesi­ tate to accept the premiership when this political gi^nt has failed. Signor Crispi is now 77 years old. He began bis life as a lawyer nt the bar of Naples. Early did he ally his powers with the Liberals and Revolutionists and took a prominent part in the conspiracies which ended in the overthrow of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies In 1848. Had it not In-en for Crispi the campaign of Garibaldi in Sicily would have been a failure. For the thirty years following Crispi was n conspicuous member of the Libera! party in Parlia­ ment. He was one of the few men to whose counsel Garibaldi would listen. He became tbe most skillful debater in the <'hamtor of Deputies and the moat astute political malinger. In 1887 Crispi was mndi- Prime Minister and he learned to rapidly become a Conservative. It was believed that the radical element would dictate his policy, but never was mistake so erring. He maintained order with an utter indifference to the triple alliance. Fie dominated the chamber with n will so imperious as to find no jiarallei except in that of the old Gentian Chancellor, lu 1801 his Ministry was defeated and in­ resigned. After that be announced his intention of retiring from politics.

From every window which the enraged elephant paraded, the that commanded a view of the alley in faces of scared spectators could be seen.

Since the elec- tion of her father to me office of Gov­ ernor she hns occupied the position of “first lady of the State" iu a manner that has gained for her the esteem of all who Nearly 300 persons attended from Washington. The party included Vice LAUNCH OF THE President and Mrs. Stevenson. Secretary and Mix* Herbert and Mrx. Micou.

The lows is intended solely for fighting purposes and is the fourth battleship built for the new United States nary. It has been constructed with the idea of ses purposes and is to be far superior to the brag ships of the English and'French navies. It Is not easy to comprehend the potential power of this mighty fight­ ing machine. Imagine, if you can. a monster of white aspect, 360 feet long. 72 feet broad, sitting 27 feet in the water, and weighing 11.410 tons. Down in the hold of this crest eraft an army of coal heavers aud firemen will shorel fuel into thirty yawning, glaring mouths. The steam thus generated ia used in almost innumerable ways. There will be no few­ er than « hundred engines in the Iowa when she is finished, electrical and hy­ draulic. used for the purposes of raising anchors, taking on aud discharging stores, bringing ammnnition from the magazines to the great guns, turning tbe turrets, swinging the rudder, discharging ashes thousands of electric lamps, aud the great searchlights as well, freeling tons of ire for daily use of tbe crew, pump­ ing cold air into the firerooms, when the stokers stand almost naked at their work—these are only a few of the wellnigh limitless purposes to which steam is put on a modern man-of-war aud the energy of coil is used to- facilitate the" daily work. Coat 54,000,000. . Tbe Iowa has been built in an almost incredibly short time, indicative of the facilities which this country is acquiring for turning out great battleships in short order. Tlie contract for the Iowa was awarded only a little more than three years ago, and her keel waa not laid till AugusL 1893. This ship cost the Govern­ ment for hull and engines alone a little more than (3,000,000, and her guns and appurtenances will coat more than a million in addition. The Iowa has a thousand tons greater displacement than her prototypes, the Indiana. Massachusetts and Oregon, which are already recognised as among the greatest naval vessels afloat. Her length on the water line will be 300 foot; beam. 72 feet 2% inches; draft. 26 feet 0 inches; displacement, 11,410 tons. Her guaranteed speed is to be 16 knots an hour. The main battery consists of four 12-inch and eight 8-lnch breech loading rifles and six 4-inch rapid-fire guns, and the secondary battery of 24 rapid-frre guns, four Gatling guns and five torpedo tubes. Her sides will be protected by 14-inch armor. The Iowa Is fitted with a ram, and in a close engagement her commander will be able to drive her nt a speed of about twenty statute miles per hour, with all BATTLESHIP IOWA. tho mighty rush of 11.410 tons of steel, pushed by engines having'11.000 horse­ power, at the foe.

From her Bert Harte took his famous character described in "The Luck of Roaring Camp," nnd since that time tbe name of Calamity Jane has been known to every house­ hold. A woman wbo has killed scores of Indians with her rifle, who has as­ sisted in lynching desperadoes and in turn saved many Ilves is worthy of considerable notice. She received her peculiar name from having saved the life of Captain Egan in 1872 when the latter was stationed at Goose Creek camp. The soldiers were surrounded by Indians, aud in the heat of the battle Jane rode Into the midst of them and rescued the captain, who, having been wounded, hid fallen from his horse. Placing the captain in front of her on the saddle, Jane rode rapidly away, while tbe brave men left behind were slain. After recovery Captain Egan laughing­ ly spoke of his brave rescuer as Calam­ ity Jane. By that name she has been known ever since. Jane's maiden name Is Martha Caoary. She was born in Princeton. Mo., In 1852. While a mere child her mother died, and In 1862, after the father and the children had moved to Virginia City, Nev., the family was separated by Indian hostilities, and Jane was thrown on the world. At the age of 15 she accepted a position as scout under General Crook. From that on her life in tbe West was filled with thrilling ad­ ventures and narrow escapes. In the early days of Deadwood she served on the vigilance committee and partici­ pated In all of the lynching bees In 1876 Jane saved the lives of six passengers on a stagecoach traveling from Deadwood to Wild Birch. The stage was surrounded by Indians, and the driver. Jack McCaul, was wounded by an arrow. Although the other pas­ sengers were men. Jane was the only one with courage enough to mount the driver's seat. Without a moment’s hesitation she took the vacated seat and drove safely to Wild Birch. Jack Mc­ Caul afterward recovered, and some time later, while In Deadwood, he as­ sassinated Will Bill, one of Calamity Jane's best friends.

Members Arc from Six Different Blate* and They Fa** Through Chicago on Their Way to Dakota-Britain to Rec­ ognise Cuban*. ASTER Sunday, which for centuries wa» observed only by certain churches, is now almost unlverttftiljr kept as a day of days, all evangelical churches symbolising It aa the anniversary commemorative of the resurrection of Christ, a festival which in the early Christian era was distinguished as the Sunday of joy. and inzen l.TUX) years ago called the “Queen day of days, that excels all others as far ns the sun exceeds the other stars, and which is still known in the mat «• the ‘bright day.’ " Another typical same for Easter is the "Holiday of Hope." There is a wonderful charm and‘fasci­ nation in thia queen festival of the year, which dominates the whole world with its wonderful lessons of returning life. Not only is rtie deep religious significance of the occasion illustrated in the most attrac­ tive and beautiful form ns a lesson to the ■eye. nnd through that to the heart, but the Joyful features of Easter, the upspringing of hope afid the miracle of returning life, Inspire a condition of joy and happiness in Che Uvea of young and old, and the most Insensible object becomes n part of the oraivafof joy. Easter was not kept as a festival until ■the fifth'or sixth century, but previous to ■Chat the question of establishing it as a •feast day came before the council of Nice, .when it was derided authoritatively that Easter was henceforth to be the Sunday following the 14th day of the calendar <noon which happened upon or next after •the 21st of March, so that if this 14th day <»a Sunday, Easter was not to be on that ■date but on the next following Sundny. Easter day, therefore, may be any day within five weeks inclusive of March 22 and April 25. It cannot bappon earlier nor later than those two dates. In 1883, Caster occurred on March 25, and again du 1804, which will be twice in the pres-eut century. In 1051 it will occur again •on March 25. It Iras often been asked why an egg is -tlie symbol of Easter. The use of eggs for Easter can be traced to the theology and .philosophy of Egyptians, Persians. Gauls, Greeks apd Romans, among all of whom .an egg was a symbol of the universe, the •work of the Supreme Dirinit. . The Per•wiai gave presents of eggs nt the feast of the vernal equinox—in honor of the re­ newal of all things. The Jews adapted it to suit tbe circumstances of their history as a typo of their departure from Egypt, and it was used in the fenat of the j ass■over as part of the furnishing of Che table •with the Paschal lamb. The early Druids •also used the egg in their ceremonies. The custom of coloring Easter eggs weems to be as old as the use of the egg an a symbol. In Germany sometimes in­ stead of eggs at Easter, a curious print illustrative of their use is presented. An CDaster custom brought from Mesopota­ mia is that of egg-rolling or egg-pitting. The manner of this sport is to strike the eggs one against tbe other, until one is broken, which is the spoil of the owner of the egg whirfi remains whole. Another egg is then pitted against the winning one. ■and so on until the last one is victorious. Every year at Washington the children •of all classes of people meet in the grounds of the White House, and with the Presi­ dent and his family looking on. aud great 'crowds of spectators in attendance, pro­ ceed to roll eggs of all the colors known to humanity, aud in such quantities that it .would seem ns if the hens of all the world •had contributed. It"is one of tlie sights of "Washington on Easter Monday. In this country egg* of all colors are used for the rolling sport, but in Mesopotamia they are red only, in remembrance of rhe cruci­ fixion. Th'Franco it was once customary nt the s^proacn of Easter to seek the largest eggs aa a tribute to the king, nnd when the Easter high mass was finished, in the ctrapel of the Louvre, to take them into the -royal presence, handsomely gilded ami ■carried in pyramids. Then the chaplain blessed them, after which they were dis­ tributed to the people. Hunter Superstitions. There are many superstitions connected 'Wrtih Easter Sunday which are significant of the season, and are almost ns impera*tive as laws. One of these is the neces•Ity of having something new to wear on •thia day in order to insure happiness for •the coming year. Hence the Easter bon •net. Another one ia that on that day the -min (lauccw. Thia ia an old legend, and the lines from Sir John Suckling are well Aswn. “But oh. she dances such a way— No suu upon an Easter day la half so fair a sight.” / It is also claimed in heathen countries, ■wbere the superstition originated, that the 'Iambs frisk and dance in the light of the ■rising sun on Ostro, the name of a heathmi divinity who was also represented as dancing and who gave to our Easter its Seek New Home*. Twenty colonies of Dunkards from six different States passed through Chicago on their way to new homes iu North Da­ kota. The colonists, numbered 1,500. and they expect to set lie along the line of the Great Northern Railroad in North Da­ kota. The Dnnkards arrived over the Balti­ more nnd Ohio, Wabash, Nickel Plate, Pan-Uaudle aud Monon roads. They are from colonies In half a hundred towns in Virginia. Meat Virginia. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana .'and IIHuoIn. The special trains were slow in arriving. Aa fast as sufficient cars were ou hand a new train was made up in the Wisronsin Central yards nnd started for the Northwest. In order to carry nil the emigrants four trains were necessary. ‘The comj»osltJcii of these trains was twenty passenger coaches nnd 102 freight cars., In the freight ears were families mov­ ing their household goods, farm imple­ ments and live stock, in tbe conches were families having sold out most of their gooils, thinking it cheaper t<i jiay cash for .what will be needed in their new homes than to pay freight rate* on the old. A number of women used the coaclies* while their husbands and elder Bona looked after the goods in the freight cars. Their Second Exodus. The present Is the second exodus of Dunkards from the East to North Da­ kota in the last three years. They come from old-establitihcd colonies which have been sending out members to the West for half a century. Often children grow up, hate families of their own. and leavethe parent colony much after the nature of bees, which swarm when their quarters become too crowded. Such is the case in this instance. The fathers i^. large fam­ ilies have left their Eastern hWnes, where land is high, with a view to establishing large family estates in the West. These emigrants lire not of the poorer class. Many arc well-lo-<lo nnd nil arc indus­ trious. desirable citizens. For some time the elders of the church have been investigating the desirability for settlement on North Dakota lands. The re|H,rts hafe bw-n favornWe and rhe present emigration is the result. The fate of the present colonists will decide the future action of several limes as many who have staid nt home and are watching xhall go to the Lord and take him your the venture with a view to following should It prove successful. lily.

In the country where they are going there re­ I'll go to sleep and rest a bit." The nurse Inuit over the dying child with mains ii large tract of Government land eyes tilled with tears, and watched the open to settlement. This was not ready for such pentose* until recently, when the Great Northern pushed Its road through what i« known as the Devil's Lake country. Within * few years many small towns have sprung up along the line an«l the country is rapidly being broken up into farms. Each head of a Dunknrd family will homestead on 1<5D acres of land. His sons and Nous-iti-lnw over 21 years old will take a like Amount. In this way families will absorb entire sections of land. Each family will also be a nucleus around which other Dunkards will settle.- In a few generations the big farms will be di­ vided and snlKlivideil among the children, until finally no more land will remain and another exodus will be necessary. The Easter Rabbit. The rabbits enter largely into Easter '•amsernents. especially among the Gersiaox. who hide eggs in nests for the qhil■ dren to find, attributing the deed to the iBaater rabbit.

With a nameless necromancy in the sunshine of her smile. She's the loveliest of lassies Ever winged a Cupid-dart; Every gallant when she passes Will have failure of the heart. Every belle— my word upon It— Will with Jealousy grow gray. When sweet Bessie in her bonnet Treads the aisle on Easter Day. I would give a feudal castle— • All my castles are In Spain!) And the wealth of lord aud vassal— I All my wealth Is In my brain!) If I might-to think upon It Fairly takes my breath away!— March with Bessie and her tMunet Up the aisle on Easter Day. ER clothes were certainly very ragged: no one could dispute Htbat. Her toes wen* rebellious and objected to ntaying in her boots. 'Lis’beth looked at them despairingly. She wa» only nine, yet she could reason. "If I was as cold ns my feet am.” she mused, "and had any place to go. I just wouldn’t stay out in the cold.” Nearly all that day she had wandered up and down the city street looking for a home. Her father had left her three days before on a drunken spree, with no place in particular to lay her head. During those three days she had eaten nothing but a*piecc of bread an old Irish woman had given her. Suddenly she made up her mind who would go up where the rich people lived and see if they didn't want a little girl. “So much money to spare,” said ’Lis’beth. "somebody'll surely take me.” Poor little trailing soul! She turned -her steps and went toward the west. The short winter twilight had already commenced to deepen as she climbed a flight of long stone steps and timidly rang the bell. How warm it look­ ed inside, she thought. A servant came to tbe door and regarded the ragged mite before her curiously. "What do you wish .for?" she asked, not unkindly. "Please, marm. a home," said 'Lis’beth. The girl laughed. "There is none here for you,” she answered, and closed the door. 'Lis’betb sank down on the doorstep, stunned and sobbing. The floor behind her opened softly once mote. and a little boy looked out. He had heard the ser­ vant's description of the little waif, and his childish heart wns touched. "I’ve brought you tumefin'." he said, putting a large napkin into her hands, filled with hastily snatched goodies from the dining room. "Eat it quick, before Nurse finds me! No. wait a minute, and I’ll get you a present." Aud he ran into the bouse. Hi* little heart was filled with pity for this poor Httle girl whose mamma was dead, aud whose papa was drunk— roost always. He came back in a moment and pressed a flower pot into ’Lis’beth'* hands. "Keep it where it’s warm and sunny,’’ he said hurriedly. "By and by it’ll be pretty. It’s an Easter lily. I must go now. Nurse is calling me. Good-by, Httle girl.” He stooped and tonebed his childish Ups to hers, then shut tbe door, leaving ’Li*'beth alone once more, this time thorough­ ly dased. No one had ever kiased her store her mother died, and the uafamiLar caress burned deep into her warm little heart and comforted it. Down the avenue, past the beautiful houses she went, knowing now they were not for Her. It snowed faster and faster, and 'Lis'beth's tired little feet just man­ aged to drag themselves over the ground. By and by she crawled under the shelter of a friendly porch and wrapped her pre­ cious plant tight in her skirts to keep it warm. All around her that night people lay in soft, warm beds, and shivering said how cold it was. ’Lis’beth said nothing. She only waited. God must have made a mistake, she thought, that would come right in time. Perhaps her prayers hadn't reached him yet. It was a long way to heaven. , When she opened her eyes again, it wns to find herself in a clean, white bed. with sunlight streaming in nt the window oppo­ site. aud a pleasant warmth in the air. On a little stand beside her bed was her pet companion, tbe Easter Illy. ' "Is this heaven?" said 'Lis’beth. “Has God got my prayer? Do you help God take care of folks?" "No. dear,” answered a woman. "This is only the hospital, and I am your nurse. I am going to take care of you aud get you trice and strong.” February passed. March came and went nnd April dawned. 'Lis’beth still lay in her bed, making uo complaint, but wasting day by day. The wonderful lily had a wonderful bud. nnd 'Lis’beth watched it grow and swell with eager eyes. "It will be open for Easter, dear." one of the nurses said to her one day. " What's Eaater?" asked ’Lis’beth.’wonderingly. So Nurse Mary told her of the Lord of the children, (Minting Him out in the pic­ ture that hung on the wall, among the little throng. Tnld of how He died, and how on the third day the angels qolled the stone away from rhe tomb, and the living I»rd came out, “and that is Easter,” said Nurse Mary. 'Lis’beth pondered and her eyes turned wistfully toward the lily bud. but she said nothing. Easter morning dawned clear and beautiful, the lily had opened. 'Lis'beth eagerly stretched out he loan little arras towards it. "Will you break it off for me?” she asked, and' looked at it attentively for a moment. "I think it is very pretty," she said, “but I don't know about the Lord. I mean to give it to him.

The Eurojwan nations were to lw sound­ ed in order to secure concert of action, and then Spain was to tell President Cleveland to go ahead if be dared in th* face of a formidable alliance which would prevent active Intervention by force if necessary. This plan has been Locked completely by the action of Great Britain, and Presi­ dent ClevelaBd'a hands have been strengthened Immeasurably by Lord. Sal­ isbury’s government. Great Britain de­ plored the inhuman Spanish warfare on the island..and English commercial In­ terests couKl not look on unmoved while the price of sugar was moving upward a* the result of the destruction of Cuban canefield*. Therefore came,the Informal intimation that Great Britain would gladly stand aside and see the United States take the initiative in Cnba. No promtae* were made that could bind Great Britain In any way, and the Qneen’s gov­ ernment was uot put‘on record in any way. but Secretary Olney has been given to understand that if the President de­ rides to recognize the patriots as bellig­ erent* Great Britain will not be far be­ hind in doing the same thing. MILLS IS FOR WAR. Senator Mills spoke Tuesday in defense of the Cuban resolution introduced by him. He said the resolutions heretofore before the Senate were steps in the right direction, but very short steps. The peo­ ple of Cnba had far greater claims on the United States than mere recognition of belligerency. If Ireland struck for liberty to-day the hearts of the American jieople would beut In sympathy, and so if Poland or Hungary asserted the right of liberty. But the United States had much closer relations to Cuba than to Ireland or Poland or Hungary, for it was part of the Western Hemisphere over which the Monroc de -trine extended the influence of this cuuuiry. Mr. Mill* declared tbat the Munroe doctrine was a law of protec­ tion nnd that as such God was the author of it. It was the same right of self-pro­ tection which an individual exorcises in abating a nuisance or destroying a pow­ der house near his premises. Jefferson had us«*d plain words in threatening to join England aud sweep the French fleets from the was if France persisted in holding the mouth of the Mis­ sissippi river. The same spirit had brought forth President Cleveland's Ven­ ezuela message. Cuba stood as tbe key to the gulf, aud our unvarying policy. said Mr. Mills, has been lo resist any trans­ fer of Cuba to another monarchy. The United States has stood by as a jailer and prevented Cuba from going to France or Englund. And, if we insisted on keep­ ing Cuba in the passeMiou of Spain, was it not the moral obligation of tbe United States to see that Strain gave Cuba fair A MORTON RALLY. government, to see that tlie hell of ail hellish despotism was lifted from the Cu­ ban people?

WAS A DOCUMENT WITH CURL OUS PROVISIONS. BcMired to Perpetuate Hia Naahvlllo Home-The Heira Quarreled and Leual Trouble* Began-A Broken Will and a Wrecked Eetate. Bean it of Lltleatlon. The city of Nashville, Tenn., like Rome, Is built upon many bills. Crown­ ing one of these bills, near tbe business center of the bright. Southern city, Is an L-sbapcd, very large lot, either end of tbe L facing streets that run at right angles. At the convergence of tbe L stands an old-fashioned brick residence, tbat, facing on one of the streets, shows a doric-coltunned, portdcoed front, such as Is so common in JAMES K. POLK. tbe South. Tbe feature of the front which faces tbe other street. Is an oldfashioned ponderous door, around which there Is a paneling of glass that Is antique in its arrangement. I’nkept lawns, uncared-for trees aud shrubs, bjS»k?n fences, and decrepit pates mark tbe fading away of a spot that was ODCe t*he pride of the State of Tennes­ see: It was the home of a President of tbe United States. There Is an un­ cared-for, palntless,* musty, unattractlvepess about the bouse that ts for­ bidding. and it tells the story of the law’s Interference In dividing the prop­ erty of a man who was deemed worthy and qualified to rule a nation, but who, it seems, did not know enough to make a will that would withstand tbe onslaught of tbe modern attorney. This place has for nearly threequarters of a century been known as “Polk place." the home of James K. Polk, once President of the United States. On the streets on which the property faces, the bum of traffic rum­ bles and roars, the sharp clang of the electric car gongs are echoed back from THE RUINED name of Polk. If such peraon waa deem­ ed worthy of the trust. If there should no lunger be a blood relative of tbo name of I*olk, deemed worthy to enjoy this trust, then the trustees should se­ lect as the beneficiary one who should be a blood relative, though of other name. « For forty-three years tbe wishes of James K. Polk were'complied with. In 1891 the widow, Sarah Childress Polk, died, nnd wns laid away beside the maker of thia curious* will. Then tbo heirs fell to quarreling about the es­ tate; the lawyen got in their work and broke the will. Now tbe estate Is go­ ing to ruin, apd tbe bodies of James K. Polk nnd bls wife have been removed from tbe resting place they had clivaen. a Mil now He buried In the State House yard. The court ordered the gale of this plot of ground, the proceeds to be divided among a swarm of heirs, th” dividend to be In accordance with the claim each otfe established as to near or remote kinship with the man who made this property and tried to do as be liked with bls own. It will be di> vlded among ten heirs of the name of Polk, seven heirs of the nnme of Caldwell, seven heirs of tbe name of Walker, three of the name of Vanlx, and so on to the number of fifty-three; and according to the directions of the court, the proceeds of the sale will be divided among them as follows: Four will get one-twelfth each, five will get one-thlrty-slxlh each, seven will got ouo forty-secondth each, six will get one fifty-fourth each, eight will get one ninety-sixth each, nine will get one one-hundred and “Ightb each, seven will get one one two hundred and sev­ entieth each, nnd the remaining seven will get one three hundred and seven­ ty-eighth each.

Now that the curious and eccentric “Jumping bean” has hud Its run it will next be iu order for someone to make an expedition into the desert region of Southwest Nevada and collect a car­ load of “animated" or “moving" stones, long since acknowledged as being the greatest geological curiosities In the world. They are described as being al­ most perfectly round, tbe majority of them as large as a walnut and of the color, texture and hardiness of nodules of kidney Iron ore.

It would seem that he sought to entail tbe estate, to so arrange it that it would forever remain In the Polk family, aud be known as "Polk Place." and also be tbe resting place of him and his wife. In order to do this he willed "Polk Place" to tbe State of Tennessee in trust. At the death of his wife, it should go to the Governor of tbe State of Tennessee. as trustee, or in case of Ids failure to act or qualify aa such trustee, then to the Legislature of Ten­ nessee. to direct the trust aud desig­ nate some blood relative of tbe name of Polk, wbo should occupy, have and hold tbo property then known aud to be known as "Pcfk Place."

United States navy, and the naval reserves, a total force of over 150,000 men. The main part of tbe work consists In the construction of siege gun carriages, siege howitzer carriages, fixed gun car­ riages, with limiters, caissons and bat­ tery wagons complete, the complete accouterments for Infantry and cav­ alry soldiers, horse equipments and harness for light artillery. No rifles, swords or revolvers arc manufactured here in time of peace, but large quanti­ ties of these small arras are sent from the national .armory at Springfield, Mass., to be distributed to the army forts, national guard and military col­ leges of the Mississippi valley and tbe Western States. AU iron, wood, cloth and paper targets are also made here, besides the regular elliptical targets, iron frames to be covered with cotton cloth and representing soldiers In the act of firing, kneeling and lying down on the skirmish line, and cavalry sol­ diers on horseback. Small arm car­ tridges of all kinds arc received in car lots from the government cartridge fac­ tory at Philadelphia, to be distributed also ns above.

The following day the visitor rode out to the hunt and in the master of the bounds, who was also lord lieu­ tenant of tbe county and Duke of West­ minster. he recognized his guide of tbe day before.

PROPOSED BRIDGE ACROSS THE POTOMAC AT WASHINGTON. SHOT IN COLD BLOOD. FEARFUL CRIME COMMITTED AT CLINTON, ILL. JKd Polen Kills HU Wife and MotBer- temptt Snicide to Escape Lynching. Domestic infelicities in the family of Edward Polen culminated Friday after­ noon at Clinton. Ill., in the murder of Mrs. Polen and her mother. Mra. William McMullen, by Polen. After tie bad com­ mitted the-crime Polen ran to the Illinois Central yard# to escape the crowd of ex­ cited pursuers who intended to lynch the murderer. To avoid this fate he ■threw himself In front of a train, but was not fatally Injured.’ He was removed from the scene of his attempted suicide without molestation. Then the crowd collected about the jail, and for a time it looked as H the lynch­ ing would take place. The desperate nature of the man’s injuries delayed the attempt, and the crowd retired. It ap­ pears from the most reHable anformatlon that there has been trouble in the Polen household for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Polen bad been in Creston. Iowa, for about six weeks, where Polen had se­ cured employment, but all did not go wWl tn the Iowa home, and Mrs. Polen left there and returned to her mother’s home in CHnton a week ago. Friday Polen re­ turned and met his wife on the street, and they held an animated discussion. After leaving has wife Polen returned to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mc­ Mullen, where his wife was, and it is supposed the discussion of their troubles was again renewed. Polen became frenzied during the dis­ cussion. and. rushing to where a double­ barreled khotgun was standing, he seized the w.eapon and turned toward the now thoroughly frightened and defenseless women, who attempted to escape. They were not quick enough, however. They were within about fifteen feet of the house when Polen throw the gun to his shoulder and pressed the trigger. Mrs. Polen fell on her face without a groan, dying instantly. Her mother stopped at the report of the gun. and, turning, saw her child faH heavily forward, cold in death. As ths mother gave a cry of anguish at the ter­ rible deed of her infuriated son-in-law he again pressed the trigger, and with the second report the soul of the mother was ushered into eternity. The murderer then ran east through the outskirts of the town; thence along the railroad track, stopping to reload bis weapon. An alarm was given immediate­ ly by the neighbors, and soon the streets were thronged with th*.- excited populace, hurrying to the scene of the tragedy. A posse was soon fanned and started in pursuit of the murderer. In the meantime Poien had beeg fleeing east on the railroad track. Ho got about a mile aj.d a quarter from town when he saw a freight train approaching. Turn­ ing. he beheld his pursuers following, and realizing the impossibility of escape, he waited until the train had approached al­ most to where ho stood and then sudden­ ly threw himself in front of the engine. He was doomed to disappointment, how- Five to ten drops of cardamon in hot water will relievo an infant during an attack of colic. • Charcoal Is a good remedy for flatu­ lency and aridity of the stomach. Dose one coffeespoonful. An exclusive milk diet Is pronounced the best for one who baa chronic ca­ tarrh of tbe stomach. Five grains of phenacetlnc taken ev­ ery three hours may be used with good effect In cases of neuralgic toothache. It Is claimed that cod-liver oil, cocoa butter, cocoanut oil or sweet oil rubbed into the skin will .have a fattening effect. A little bicarbonate of soda or some milk of magnesia, added to milk used In Infant’s food, will prevent It from curdling on the stomach. A good remedy for canker sore mouth can be made by dissolving one dram of chlorate of potash in six ounces of hot water. Use as a mouth wash every three hours. The safest treatment In washing an ear that discharges somewhat Is to use a warm saturated solution of boric acid, applied with an ear syringe sev­ eral times a day. Pure sulphurous (not sulphuric) arid is a very good remedy for ringworm. The. pure acid should be applied twice a day. Case's of barber’s Itch yield to the same treatment. Persons suffering with nervous palpi­ tation of the heart ^ill find a good remedy In a mixture composed of equal parts of Hoffman’s anodyne and com­ pound spirits of lavender. Odc tea­ spoonful taken In water every two or three hours Is a dose. Quinsy sore throat may lx* relieved by using a gargle comjtoscd of ten drops of peppermint, one dram of pure carbolic acid and three drams of alco­ hol. Place ten drops of this solution In a teacupful of hot water, and gargle every three hours. A standard prescription for a hard cough Is the following: Muriate of ammonia, two drams; fluid extract of cubebs, two drams; brown mixture, two ounces; syrup of wild cherry bark, enough to make four ounces. The dose for an adult is one teaspoonful evtjry three hours. OUR MINISTER TO SPAIN.

A cnnrd soon col­ lected and the talk became ominous. The officers feared an attempt to lynch the murderer would be made, and to quiet thv crowd, the announcement was made from rhe porch of the jail that Polen was fatal­ ly injured and would probably die in a few minutes. This resulted in the dis­ persion of the crowd. .Marshal Mofiit, with hi* prisoner, drove from Clinton to Maroa iu a cab.

Last Saturday Dr. Comfort was hastily summoned by telephone to re­ pair to Morgan to attend to Wesley Shaffer, son of George Shaffer, who had shot himself. Upon his arrival at the home of Mr. Shaffer the doctor found that the young man had really been shot by a rifle ball from a gun which the you nd man was holding In his hands. Tbe affair was purely acci­ dental and as be cannot tell himself just how the gun caioe to be dis­ charged, no possible blame can attach to anyone. Upoff*examination the doctor found that the ball bad entered the chest about midway between the nipple and arm-pit on the right side, evidently taking an upward course. As he was not supplied with the proper apparatus for locating such bodies by the X rays as brought out by Professor Roentgen, he was com­ pelled to do an interminable amount of -probing, but finally succeeded In locating tbe t»all deeply imliedded In the back side near the top of his shoulder, and proceeded to cut down and remove it. The victim withstood the operation nobly, hardly flinching during t he entire ordeal of removing the bullet nor the subsequent cleans­ ing of the track of the ball. It is con­ sidered very fortunate that the ball encountered no important vessels or xerves, lodged against or even struck any boues, nor in fact seemed to do any very serious damage to any of tbe the structures. Take It all in all it was a very fortunate accident. The doctor reports th- patient as doing finely and experts him to fully recover in due time. Such accidents should serve as a timely warning to those who handle firearms io a careless man­ ner, as in this case It was more by good fortune than good management that a very serious If not even fatal accident did not result. • Of course the young man has our sympathy but he snould be more careful hereafter. Mabel Quick of Bellevue has been spending the week with her grand­ mother Mrs. R. R. Dailey, who has been quite ill. There will be an “album social” at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L. F.

Lacks Men and Ammnnltlos la Her South African Work. It is difficult to obtain accurate Informa­ tion regarding the progress of the rebel* Hon of the natives of Matabeleland. The Cape Town authorities, naturally, are withholding oil the Information possible. It Is not denied, however, that the situa­ tion becomes darker every day. Advice* received from Buiuwayo show that the work of placing that town In a state of de­ fense has been completed so far as the means at band permit. But there Is *' lack of arms and ammunition there with which to supply che many s»ttlers who have gathered from outlying districts since the uprising commenced. There men, in many cases, have rifles, but they are of all kinds and makes, and the slock of ammunition procurable for them la small. Consequently It has been found desirable to replace these weapon* aa far as possible with the Martini-Henry rifles served out to the police, the stock of am­ munition for the latter being fairly ade­ quate. But the number of Martini-Hen­ ry* available is small, and it is now an open secret that nearly every good rifle procurable had been gathered up and smuggled into the Transvaal previous to the Jameson raid. Had matters at Johan­ nesburg turned out aa the manipulators of the expedition and uprising contem­ plated, things would have assumed a dif­ ferent aspect But certain persons there and elsewhere are now in the position of hunters caught in their own traps, with the additional mortification of tbe knowl­ edge that the Boers have by the seizures made in the mines, etc., of many thou­ sands of rifles, bayonets, revolver* and Maxim guns, completely turned the ta­ bles on tbe British. The Boers are aware of the predicament in which the Britiah find themselves. _______ CLEARLY AN OUTRAGE. Spaniard Fired Upon an American Schooner Without Cause.

Hia ves­ sel was fired on March 1(1 In latitude 21.12, longitude 82.42. First a blank cart­ ridge was fired. Then came three solid shot, while the American flag was being hoiwfed. Two Spanish gunboats were en­ gaged in the affair. The Todd waa search­ ed by men. the warship being held two hours for the purpose. The schooner had nothing contraband aboard.

The Senate resolution authorizing F. Green to ezerciae the du­ ties and power* heretofore conferred upon the late Gen. Casey in relation to the construction of the library of Congress was adopted. The Senate resolution au­ thorizing ex-Pre*ident Harrison to accept certain medals presented to him by the Governments of Brasil and Spain waa also adopted.

The House continued considera­ tion of the sundry civil bill. Thr House Thursday passed the sundry civil bill, and wasted a lot of time in acri­ monious debate of the question of appro­ priating public money for private or sec­ tarian institutions. The postoffiee appro­ priation bill served to bring out some sharp discussion in the Senate on the propriety of abolishing country postoffica* and absorbing them as branches of city ofllBM. The bill authorizing the light­ house board to proceed with the building of tbe lighthouse at North Manitou 1*1and. Lake Michigan, was passed. The House bill granting the Atchison and Ne­ braska and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railways a right of way through the Sac and Fox and Iowa Indian reser­ vations in Kansas and.

UL'WL’WC HORROR ENACTED AT A PUBLIC EXECUTION. Dread Hpanlah Inquisition Day« Snrpawed by the Garrote—Unfortunate* Slowly Stranslcd to Death on the Scaffold—Agonising Fate for Fire. Work of Official Hungiera. A startling exhibition of bungling in the execution by the garrote of lire Cu­ ban prisoner* took place at Havana. The men, claaaed aa “murderer*, viola tors and incendiaries” belonging to Cayajnbo, were recently sentenced to be garroted. and at 7 o’clock Tuesday morning a strong force of infantry waa drawn up in the form of a square around the spot where the garrote had been erected. 'The instrument of execution, a chair with a post behind it, an iron collar aud screw behind it, which when turned strangles of breaks the neck of the victim, was act up by the famous executioner, Valentine Ruiz, who, for sortie reason not fully ex­ plained, acted upon this occasion as the assistant to his own assistant instead of as the principal executioner. * The fivft prisoners in their dungeons re­ ceived the ministrations of the priests. One man confessed himself to Ik* guilty of the crimes charged against him and as­ serted that his companions were inno­ cent, the latter stoutly maintaining their Innocence to the last. The man selected to be the first victim quietly and coolly mounted the steps had­ ing to the chair and took his seat. The man acting* aa executioner then twisted the lever or screw handle controlling the garrote, but he was evidently nervous, and this rendered him so weak that his hands slipped repeatedly from the lever. There were horrible, smothering, choking cries from the scaffold, and it was only after a long period of agony for the con­ demned man and almost torture for tiie spectators that the Cuban was pronounc­ ed dead. But this was only a beginning of the terrible performance. The second victim was brought, to tbe front and led up the steps* to the scaffold by the priests and assistant executioner. Upon reaching the platform tbe unfortunate matt made an effort to say something to the people sur­ rounding him, but tbe executioner’s hand was placed over his mouth, be was hastily bundled into the deadly chair nnd in an­ other moment lhe iron collar was around his neck. If the executioner was nervous upon the occasion of the first killing he was ten times more so upon this occasion. Tbe result was more slow, fearful stran­ gulation and another horrible experience for the spectators. Two Darin* Mcu iu an Open Boat to Crow the Ocean. Preparations are well under way for the most daring attempt- that has ever been made to cross the Atlantic in an open boat. George Harbo.-New York pilot, fisherman and seaman from hia earliest youth, proposes to row from New York to England, using an ordinary row boat, built after plans designed by himself, and intended to show tbe improvement which he claims may be made in the lifeboats notv in nae. No sailing will be done on this extraordinary trip. Harbo says be will pull out into the Atlantic with a companion, about the middle of June, and that from then on they will row to Eu­ rope. The two men will take turns in rowing the boat, each working about eighteen hours a day. Harbo estimates than an average of about four knots an hour, day and night, can be made in this way. According to this they would make the passage in from forty to forty-five days. . The boat haa been built with a stout piece of oak running along the bdttom and separated from the keel. Harbo coolly says that this is for the two men to lash themselves to when tbe boat is upset and tbe sea is too rough for them to right ber. Each man in very rough weather is to be lashed at tbe end of a long line, tied'about bis waist, which will hold him to the boat when he Is swept overboard, which Harbo expects will occur ns a mat­ ter of course. In fact, It would seem that although tbe trip is to be made in June and July, Harbo looks forward to tbe roughest kind of a time and will only be disappointed if be encounters uniformly mild weather. The Jraat is 18 feet long with a 5-foot boom. She is clinker-built, of cedar, with oak timber, nnd weighs 200 pounds, drawing when light but three inches of water. The load which is to be put into her. however, will increase her draft to seven inches. She has the gen­ eral appearance of a double-ended sea skiff. There is an air tight compartment in cither end of the boat some twenty inches de<i> and throe feet six Inches long. These two tanka .will make tbe boat unsinkable when they are intact. Next to the forward compartment there will be a twenty-gallon sheetiron water tank, which will conform exactly to the shape of the boat. Four other small tanks of a capacity of ten gallons each will occppy the corresponding position at the stern. A canvas cover, under which the men may sleep, will button over the forward end of tho boat. The men will carry ex­ tra oars and a large pair of sweeps, using the latter when they work together. These, with the instruments, cooking ^tonsils and other Decessitien, will take up much of the spare room. The pro­ visions are to consist largely of canned IIAREO‘8 EIGHTEEN-FOOT BOAT. By this time the prison official*. the priests nnd officers in command of the troops had endured so much that they openly denounced the acting executioner and called U|wn him to get down from the scaffold and let another man take his place. Thereniran the acr.ug executioner feverishly called njran the executioner-inchief. Valentine Ruiz, who from long ex­ perience is looked upon as being an expert in bis line. Ruiz, however, was almost as nervous and excited as his assistant and fumble*! badly as he handled rhe third Cuban. But he succeeded" in accomplishing the execu­ tion in shorter time nnd with less horror than his assistant. The fourth Cubap, was tht-n turned over to Itniz. By this time Ruiz was shaking all over aud he was much slower and considerably clum­ sier in sending the unhappy man out of rhe world. Bo much so that there was renewed murmuring al the official inca­ pacity nnd Ruiz stumbled away from the .death pom. insisting in choking tones that his assistant must finish the day’s work. . Consequently the assistant executioner again tried bis hand at rhe terrible screw and was as unlucky as before, for there was another scene of horror which nearly caused strong men to faint before the fifth Cuban’s life was pronounced extinct. Horror Caused tn Waihiagton. Tiie message from Havana giving the details of the killing of five prisoners by the garrote raised a cry of horror in Washington. Senor Dupuy de Irame, the Spanish minister, admitted that lhe men had been killed, but declared that the form of punishment wan. the one prescribed by Spanish law. He said the men were ne­ groes, and had been-guilty of a most atro­ cious crime in hanging a merchant at Guira Melena and in killing n small boy at the same place. He snid the details of the execution had been exaggerated to unit the Cuban sentiment in tbe United States. The reports to the Cubans in Washington'declarc that the'horrible execution of the five men at Havana is but a sample of the atrocious cruelties of Captain Genera! Weyler in Cuba. They declare they have information indicating that such cruelties are practiced nearly every day in Cuba, and that they are so horri­ ble os to be beyond comprehension.

The latter will be especially useful, as sea water may be used in trailing it. The canned goods will Ira selected s<> as to resist the great heal of a calm midsummer day on the ocean. Two spirit compasses will be fixed in the bottom of the boat. When the sea is so rough that little or no hcadivay can be made by rawing, the men will throw over a sea anchor made of canvas and opening like an umbrella Harbo claims that two hours of work at the oar will make up for the drift of twenty-four hours in a storm with the sea anchor out. Changes of clothing for the men will be taken in a water-tight case. Their underclothing is to be lined with silk so as to avoid 'chafing. Harbo is 32 years of age, and has spent his b'fe upon the sea.

The Height of Grape Trelliaea. Trellises are built much higher in this country than they are In Europe. We got our ideas of what the grape vine needs by seeing the wild vines in woods climbing to tbe tops of high trees and bearing their best fruit at the highest point. American grape vines require more room than is usually giv­ en them. In Europe the vineyards are set in checks like our corn fields, with a vine tied to a stake not more chan four to live feet high, and each bearing only a few bunches of fruit. We baye seeu many grape vines, each of which covered a large trellis and bore iwo to three bushels of fruit every year. Such vines if rightly managed and pruned keep In better condition than those that are restricted for room. In most vineyards that we have seen, the owner* after a few years wishes that the vines were twice as far apart as they are. Breedinc House for Poultry.

Corn is one of the foods that are too rich in the beat aud fat producing elements, says the Ohio Farmer. It needs something that contains more of the bone and muscle-forming ele­ ments to make It a good ration. Now, the scientist tells us that the excess of carlrahydrates wlU be stored up in the system ns fat. This is, in a measure, true. But all of us common bayseeds know that in practice, if an animal be fed an exclusive corn diet, the stor­ ing-up process goes right on all right for a time. Then the appetite becomes clogged, there Is a discouraging check in growth, and the anima! takes an un­ thrifty appearance. • Something besides corn should be fed as the grain ration, for the sake of variety if for no other reason. Relish has a great influence on digestion, and an animal will not eat with a good rel­ ish when fed on a single food for any great length of time. BISMARCK IS NOW 81. TIME HONORS AND SPARES THE IRON CHANCELLOR. Hearty Congratulation* Received by tbe Great German Btatcaman—He Makes a Speech to Tbonoanda, Who Come from Hamburg. Crowds Pay Tribute. Prince Bismarck was 81 years old Wednesday snd In honor of his birthday bands of music played In the Schloss park, at Freldrichsruhe.all the monring. Prince Bismarck entered the salon at 11:30 and found displayed on a table his birthday presents. lie was affectionately, greeted by hia son. Count Herbert Bismarck, and by his daughter, Countess Rantzau. After Dr. Bchwenningcr had congratulated the prince the latter closely examined his - Soaking Clothes. Before putting clothes la soak remem­ ber to remove Oil stains. Fruit stains and coffee stains may be removed by cold water. Iron rust Is one of tbe stains which may be left till after the washing, as washing does not seem to set it perceptibly. It can be taken out at any time by laying the stain over a board in the hot sun, covering it with salt and saturating it with lemon juice. Blight mildew stains will yield to the same treatment. A rusty or soiled iron is a very un­ satisfactory article to use. All flatirons should be washed at least two or three times a year in warm water in which a tablespoonful of lard to the gallon is melted. Wipe them dry and set them in a warm place till every drop of mois­ ture Is gone. Irons should lie kept in a clean place, away from the dust, where It Js perfectly dryjbut it is very bad practice to allow them to lie about the stove as some housekeepers do. Standing continually on the stove de­ stroys the temper of tbe iron, and Irons that have lost their temper will not retain their heat one-half as long as those which have been properly cared for. The Irast iron holders are those made of cotton bed ticking. Do not make them too thick. Two layers of wool stitched between two pieces.of bed ticking make an Iron holder which Is thick enough for all practical pur­ poses and Is not too clusmy to be put through tbe wash. |j>eep fodr or five holders In use and give tbe Ironer a fresh supply for each Ironing. Do not wait til! the holders are greasy and stiff before they are put through the wash. Everything in connection with the laundry should be kept spotlessly clean. Keep two covers to the Ironing board nnd two Ironing sheets, so that a fresh cofer and sheet may bo had whenever the one in use may be soiled. It Is no economy to use old sheets for tills purpose. It costs but little to buy heavy unbleached muslin from which to make these sheets. Old sheets are soon Ironed Into rags when used up in this way, and there are many other ways of utilizing old cotton. Vary tlic Diet of Cowa.

A common form of the begging lethn so sadly familiar to the rich meh of America is that enclosed in n small Lord Fauntleroy envelope decorated with a curious network of pot hooks and hangers. The person In charge of such correspondence Is able to read very nearly every word of the mioslve with his eyes shut: "I am n little girl, twelve years of age. trying to do what I oan for the fresh air fund of our town, and knowing how very, very generous you are, but how many, ninny people must ask you for money, I only suggest you let uh have a half of wnat your Income amounts to for one min­ ute. Your grateful little friend, Ma­ mie B." That Is the regular formula followed by the small girl, as the open­ ing of the envelope proves, for the Idea of getting a minute's worth of a millionaire's hvome is n favorite scheme in the begging letter. Earnest young gentlemen, nil working in the name of charity, nre fond of suggest­ ing that the Midas they address should give them a full suit of clothing to raffle off for the benefit of the village circulating library.

TOWNS ANO CITIES IN SEVERAL STATES ELECT OFFICERS. •Battle of Little BallotsMunicipal election* were held Tuesday in HlinoU, Michigan. .Wisconsin, Ohio, Kassas, Nebraska and Missouri. In the dty of Chicago about 50 per cent of th« total vote was polled. In the aldcrmanie elections party lines were grueraiiy dis­ regarded. A bitter fight was waged to prevent the re-election of boodle alder­ men. and regardless of party the Civic Federation and the Municipal Voters' League indorsed thirty-three men. candi­ dates in twenty-seven wards. Of these, twenty-two were elected- There now re­ main iu the Council, of nifii who are known to be thieves and boodlers, only twenty-seven, of whom all but five nre hold-overs. The entire Council numbers sixty-eight, so for the first inne in many years Chicago has a Board of Aldermen the majority of wCiom are believed to be honest. Springtiehi Republicans elected six out of seven alderhien, and in the township elections througboirt Sangamon County the Republicans retained their majority in County Boards of Superviaora. In Milwaukee all of the candid*tc» on the Republican city ticket wore elected, trat the Democrats made large gains. 'Die most noticeable feature of the election, which passed off quietly, was the heavy Populist vote which was cast. Eighty­ seven precincts show <t,010 votes for Henry Smith, the Populist <-andidatc for Mayor. This is double the total rote east by the party two years ago. In the State at large R. D.

She Ha* a Grafted Ear that Will Not Stop Growing. There is in CT?.cago at the present time a young lady being treated by a surgeon whose case is one of the strangest, as it te the only one of its kind on record. The young indy is Mis* Zury Knox, and she is the daughter of a prominent citizen of Yoakum County, Texas. She is a most beautiful girl of perfect figure, a brilliant conversationalist, a proficient musician and an artist of no mean ability. When 7 years of age Miss Knox was thrown from a pony in such a manner a* to pull off the upper portion ot her right ear. The remainder of the ear wa* ao badly 4acerated that most of it was cut away by a surgeon in Dallas. She had only a small amount of her ear left, which soon healed up, aud she was able to cover the disfigurement with her hair. She paidt n>» particular attention to the organ, as the hearing was but slightly affected, up to one year ago. Thon the met a young lady from Chicago who advised her to consult a surgeon, who, »he believed, could replace the missing ear by a graft­ ing process. Mim Knox accepted her friend's advice, went to Chicago and re­ turned home with an ear which, while dot ncariy ao pink and dainty as its mate, served the purpose well enough.

The Washington correspondent of ths Chicago Times-Herald asserts that Presi­ dent Cleveland -will not dccCine a renom­ ination if it be tendered to hint by the Democratic national convention. Sec­ retary CarKale is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. I am, he says, able to state authoritatively what The attitude of the President is con­ cerning the nomination, and also to ex­ plain the meaning of die candidacy of Sec retary Carlisle. Secretary Olney is doI •nd will not be a candidato'for President, and ex-Sccrelary Whitney is not and will not be a candidate. The administration program 5s as foKsws: 1. To’secure control of the convention and adopt an anti-silver platform. nominate Secretary Carlisle if a 3. That failing, to nominate Mr. Clersla’nd for a fourth time. • The friends of Secretary Olney, of exBecretary WhUney; and of ex-Gor. Rus­ sell, of Massachusetts, who, qndcr favor­ able clrcumatances. might wish to work for'thc s^ccjim} of their teroBfe, derstand that the rresident h?8 aTranfed his plans ou the lines which I hare just described, and this state of affairs neceaaarily precludes the pressing of any other candidate from the wing of the party to which the President belongs, Within the last few weeks there has been a good deal of newspaper talk about Mr. Carlisle’s candidacy. It has been said that the President would write a letter esDiffiatically declining again to permit his name to be used in connection with tho nomination, and in this letter he would make Secretary Carlisle his political heir and ask the Democratic party to give him Its support. It has also been said that there was *ome friction in the Cabinet between Secretary of State Olney aad Secretary of theTreasury Carlisle as co the political succession, and that the Pres­ ident had put Mr. Olney to one side in faror of Mr. Carlisle. These stories are deroid of truth. The President will not decline a renom­ Ination if it is offered to him with substan­ tial unanimity. He does not propose to enter into any scramble for the honor, or to use any of the enormous Federal pat­ ronage at his disposal to bring it about Chicago It shall be the offfnlon of a majority of them that he is the strongest candidate, and the platform la a declara­ tion in favor of sound money and the principles of tariff reform to which ths Democratic party stands pledged, Mr. Cleveland will not decline the honor. Iu the meantime tho President will not publidy proclaim fils position, nor will be write any letter cither announcing liitu•elf as a candidate or declining to allow his name to go before the convention. There will be no change in his position. He will simply permit matters to drift and assume shape without active interference from him.

At same time the dechnation is not so forcible as to entirely remove Mr. Carlisle from the list of ^oaslbifitie*. Ticre is somewhat of a string to the dec­ lination. The letter is a plain, straightforward expression of opinion on the part of Mr. Carlisle upon the monetary question and something more than an intimation that ‘he would not run an a platform which m'^bt be unsatisfactory to him on finances. He intimates that this is the issue before the people and the success of the Democratic party is dependent upon the action or failure to act upon thia question. He says he U more inter­ ested in the success of the party and 5n its proper action on the great questions now agitating the i>eople than be is in the question of tiie man who shall be nomi­ nated.

Breadsttiffs and iron product* have risen slightly, but some other articles have de­ clined, and the root of the matter is that demand for consumption is still below ex­ pectations. The number of hands em­ ployed hns been slightly lessened by ■trikes in some establishments and by stoppage or reduction in force in -others, but the change during the Inst week has not been relatively inqiortnnt.

The imprisonment of Rev. Mr. Knapp la un­ derstood to be but a preliminary to the expulsion of al) the Christian mission­ aries, mostly Americana English and French Catholics, from Asiatic Turkey, snd, iKNNdbly, from European Turkey as well. Besides, It is rumored that the sgqnts of tbe American Red Cross Society, now distributing relief funds in Asiatic Turkey in the presence of local Turkish officials, are glso to be expelled from that part of the empire.

War against the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors and war against tbe gold standard wu* declared Wednesday by the delegates to the State convention of the ProhibiBon party of Illinois at Sj.iitiglWld. Eight planks form tbe plat­ form of the party us adopted, and of these two were captured by tho*e who leaned to Populistic- ideas. The first was that advocating the prohibition of tbe manu­ facture and sale ot alcoholic liquors for beverage puf]k>*cs. Woman suffrage wm placed neat. Civil service reform, com­ pulsory education and Sunday observance went* favored. The aiftirplank was the minority report on resolutions favoring frre silver. The majority report on reso­ lutions wm tabled by a clever ruse of the Populists. When the delegates finally un­ derstood in whnt position they were placed by the weird magic of parliamentary rule*, the majority report in favor of pro­ hibition, aa the dominant issue, wa* resus­ citated and carried. The scheme was one that wijl ** remembered by tbe P/ohibitioniat* of Illinois for many a day. Tbe seventh advocated a national tariff com­ mission free from politics. The last plank, among other thing*, referred to the trans­ fer of control of nil mean* of transporta­ tion and communication to tbe Govern­ ment. DARING PLOT FOILED.

A Week’* Proceeding* In the Hall* of Congrera— Important Measure* Dis­ cussed and Acted Upon-An l«npar­ tial Reoame of the Busincra. Kotze Settles Account*. There was u sensation in court and mlll<tary circles In Berlin Friday morning '.when it was announced that another duel growing out of the great court anonyjnous-lcltcr scuudsl had taken place in ithe woods near Potsdam, and that Baron von Schrader, master of the ceremonies of the Prussian court, bnd been shot and seriously wounded by Count von Kotze. h>ron Kotze was formerly court cham tierlain, and was acquitted on the charge of 'being the author uf the anonymous com­ munications alluded to. Baron von Schra­ der was seriously wounded in the nbdo<men. He was taken to a hospital. Hi* ‘relative* wore telegraphed for, and they ‘promptly gathered at hi* bedside. This ii* the third duel of the series of about a ■dozen for which tho challenges were sent put last April by Count von Kotze. aud he has repeated his announcement of his 'determination to keep on fighting hi* eneimies, one by one. until be has settled ac­ counts with all on his list. Those who know Count von Kotxe feel confident ho iwili keep bis word. The scandals which gave rise to this series of duels began nearly five years ago. when high tjourt personages, male nnd female, old anil young, began receiving anonymous let­ ters or postal card* calling their atten­ tion to this or that escapade upon their own part, or upon the joirt of relatives or friends. As a result, wives became Separated from their husbands, and fath­ ers and mothers discarded their children, nearly everybody of iuqtortance l>e!ng smirched more or less by the venom of the anonymous writer, who was evidently n person thoroughly familiar with, all the details of court life. People began to look asknnt at their best friend*. Every effort (MniHible was made by the police to discover the guilty jn-rson. but, in spite of this, the anonymous tormentor wa* able to continue the cruel work about |four years. The general opinion was that the vile communications were the work of a woman: but gradually this opinion changed, and for souk* unexplained rea­ son suspicion fastened itself upon Count .von Kotze. one of the court chamberlains, n popular man. well liked by tin* emperor nnd trusted by all his friends. He wa* aryeated, but afterward acquitted. When Count von Kotze was released from prison he promptly rent out challenges to about n dozen of those whom he believed to have been implicated in n plot to ruin him in order to save the reputation of the high personage, whoever he may be, who is looked upon a* being the real author of the anonymous communications. Thia la hi* third duel, and nine challenge* nre yet out. The National Solons. The Senate spent the entire day on tha postuflice appropriation bill, but did not complete it. After a bnef but very spirit­ ed debate the House passed tbe river and harbor appropriation bill. The action was taken under suspension of the rales, in spite of the vigorous protest* of the minor­ ity against rhe continuing contract sys­ tem. Tbe opposition was unable to mus­ ter vote* enough, however, to call for the yea* and nay* on the suspension of th* mle*^ The Senate did but little Tuesday, ereept to pass the postoffiee appropriation bill.

The latter was defeated, 113 to 127, and the fate of the metric system bill still hangs In the balance. Quite n breezy discussion arose in tbe Senate Wednesday over the national re­ serve question.

Corn stubble that has been seeded in grain, and is not sown to timothy or clover, will be much benefited by a thorough harrowing as soon as the land ia lit to work. Hook three strong mules or horses to nn adjustable st<*el tooth barrow aud harrow across the drill rows. Ten acres can be gone over In a half a day. What few stools of grain may Le rooted out will no: amount to much. The loosening of tiie soil around the grain roots and the thorough pulverisation of tho earth be­ tween the drill rows will be a very great advantage to the crop. After tbe harrowing nnd before a rain is an ex­ cellent time to give the field a top dressing of tine manure or 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 100 pounds of phosphate of lime. These two fertiliz­ ers act w*41 together, nnd in a favora­ ble season will increase fhe yield from eiglit to ten bushels per acre. Fields of grain that are in bad shape, either from being gotten in late, want of prop­ er fertilzut ion or owing to severe winds ami alternate freezing and thawing, will be much lienetited by a good har­ rowing. The editor has frequently harrowed corn stubble grain, and always with the best results, and would earnestly commend it. Tbe harrowing kills In­ numerable weeds. which is another ad vantage.

When planting early peas a small amount of nitrate of soda will pay bet­ ter than with any other crop. Tbe pea requires nitrogenous manure, as It is more nitrogenous than any other grain, except the bean. It is true that the pea root Is able to decompose air in the soil and extract the nitrogen from that, but It does this only when in an ad­ vanced stage of growth. A small amount of’nitraft' of soda sown with peas warms the soil around them, for it aids the growth of pea roots, which liberate carbonic acid gas, which al­ ways evolves heat. It is thus, by fur­ nishing food nnd warmth at tbe early critical period, that the pen Is made earlier than It otherwise would be. and brings a higher price in the market. narrtwm. followed by Mrs. J<Ab F.

Out of the dust and dlu which En­ gland*h bold proposition to eoaqner tbe fioudan hns roused in France rises tbe form of the imperturbable Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, tbe moat distinguish­ ed diplomat of the times. France is fighting angry with England, and tbe relations between tbe two countries are tense as a fiddle string. All En­ gland looks to the Marquis of Duffertn to smooth down the ruffled feathers of tbe Gallic bird, nnd If be falls In thia amazingly difficult task it will be be­ cause tbe affair transcends the power of tbe master band at diplomacy. Tbe marquis has won his honors fairly, and he has no end of them. Not even a tithe of them can be given here, but It ‘may .be said that be has occupied »every lofty post in the diplomatic ser­ vice of his country and its collateral in­ terests. He is now above 70 years of age, aud in his long career lias been of vast service to his government. He has been secretary of state for India, aad of war. too. He was viceroy of India and governor general of Canada. At a public dinner there was on tbe table in front of Edward Everett an ornamented dish, with two miniature silk American flags stuck into the viand. A waiter removeil it from the table to the sideboard that It might be earn'd. As soon as Mr. Everett missed the dish be seemed seriously an­ noyed and whispered to another waiter to replace it. A gentleman sitting near noticed this little by scene and was sur­ prised that the great man should ap­ pear annoyed at the disappearance of tiie dish and delighted at Us reappear­ ance. When the orator made lite siteech in response to a national toast the mys­ tery was explained. For as he warmed with his theme—the greatness of the republic—ho spoke of the emotions exfi cited by the flag of the union, whose folds they beheld gracefully fftttooned around the walls. Suddenly, ns if mo veil by the impulse of the moment, he seized the two little tings from the dish and waved them, one iu each hand, aliove his head, aud the company ap­ plauded the act.

A story is told of a bright young American and several German officers who, at a dinner one evening, set out to make him uncomfortable by char­ ting ibout his country. The young man is Albert H. Washburn, the United States consular agent at Madgeburg. Henry F. Merritt, the consul at Chemnitz, was the first pne of the Americans to be attacked with a taunt from one of the Germans that he could not give the names of the 6residents of the United States. [errit named them over with some deliberation, and drew from his Ger­ man friend tbe declaration that be did not believe there was another American, present who could do it. Young Washburn had said nothing until now, but he broke In and declar­ ed: “1 can do it, and will give you the vice-presidents." He was about to be­ gin, when a second thought struck him, and he said: "While I am about it, 1 might as well give you the secre­ taries of state, too." Tne Germans got down a book giving the names, and kept tab on the young man as he, correctly went through tbe list. They were pretty well hacked down already but Washburn had no idea of letting them off so easily. “Now-1 should bULel^nol tocry?^T^under-bearl-1 like toknow,” besald, "whether any of you can give the names of tbe Prussian ed are considered weak. r»:n^ cure '•ITer ,,“5 *w to rulers from tbe time (of ‘Charlemange I1 IlOOU S HlIIS take,easylooperate.23c. and his sons down to the Emperor William?

Democrat, a lad named Edwards, aged i^bout 18, one morning started from his home in Fleming county to go fishing In Lickipir river. Nothing was eyer seen or heard of him from thatday until a few days ago. when he returned hope—without any fish. An exodus of Dunkards from Indi­ ana and other states to North Dakota is taking place, the Great Northern ' Railway the other day hauling on one Train from St. Paul 1,036 of these peo­ ple to points on its line in tbe North State. It Is doubtful if a larger num­ ' ber of actual settiers was ever before moved at one time by any railway in the country. So far the Great North­ ern has taken over 3,000 of them to North Dakota, and the movement seems to be gaining strength every day. A mortgage makes a man rustle and it keeps him poor: It is a strong in­ centive to action, and a wholesale re­ minder of the fleeting months and years. It is as fully symbolical in its meaning as the hour glass and scythe that mean death. A mortage repretsents industry, because it is never idle night or day,. It is like a bdsom friend, because the greater the ad­ versity the closer it sticks to a fellow. It is like a brave soldier, for it never hesitates at charges, nor fears to close in on the enemy. It is like the sand­ bag of the thug—silent in applica­ tion, but deadly in effect. It is like ‘ the hand of providence—it spreads all over creation, and Its influence is everywhere visible.

THE WEEK’S DOINGS IN SENATE AND HOUSE. Claims Are Thrown Out. Lawmakers at Lakor. After two day«’ debate the House Satsrday by a vote of 160 to 58 passed tbe Grosvenor "fitod-ctoeae" bill. Practical­ ly the only amendment adopted was one reducing tbe tax an retail dealers from $40 to $12. The bill requires the manu­ facturer* of filled cheese to.pay a tax at $400 annually, the wholesale dealer* $250 and the retail dealers $12, and for failure to pay such tax impored upon manufac­ turer* a fine of from $4UO to $3.(XM>, upon wholesale dealer* from $250 to $1,000 and upon retail dealer* from $40 to $500. It also requires the branding of “filled cheese” and its sale only ftotD original packages. The "George” bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy was reported to the Senate Monday from the Judiciary Com­ mittee. The most Important amendment made by the committee was that provid­ ing that where any debtor who. being a banker, broker, merchant, trader or manufacturer owing $500 makes an as­ signment or conveyance of his property, or give* any lien or incumbrance thereon, contrived or devised with the actual in­ tent on bl* part to defraud hi* creditors, such act than be deemed bankruptcy. The measure provide* for voluntary bankrupt­ cy. At the same time Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, submitted the views ot the mi­ nority of the committee in tbe shape of the measure agreed on by the House Com­ mittee on Judiciary with some modifica­ tions The latter provides for voluntary and Involuntary bankruptcy. The propo­ sition to secure the passage of a bill pro­ viding for an additional United State* district judge in the northern district of Illinois comes too late to accomplish any­ thing durirtg the present session. A pro­ nounced sentiment exist* in the House against creating any new judgeships. The boose Tuesday passed without amendment the fortification agjaropriation bill carrying appropriation* nu-1 authori­ sation* involving an expenditure of $11,­ 384.613. The appropriations for • fortifi­ cations since the Endicott commission in 1886 reported its plan for the defense ot twenty-seven seaports, at an approximate cost of $100,000,000, have averaged some­ thing over $2,000,000 annually. It was made apparent after a lively colloquy In the Senate that tbete was no disposition among the silver and Populist Senators to allow the resolution for a Senate in­ quiry into recent bond issue* to lapse. Mr. Squire (Rep.. Wash.) made an elab­ orate presentation ot tbe pressing need of coast defenses, pointing out the de­ fenseless condition of onr great sea-coast harbors. In tbe Rouse Wednesday Mr. Hull, chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, called up tbe resolution for tbe re­ appointment of William B. Franklin, of Connecticut. Thomas J. Henderson of Illi­ nois, George L. Beale of Maine and Geo. W. Steele of Indiana as members of the Board of Manager* of the national sol­ diers’ homes. Mr. Blue made a sensa­ tional sjieech against Gen. Franklin, charging him and Col. Smith (for whom he *aid Gen. Franklin was responsible) with cruel nnd brutal treatment of the In­ mates of the home at Leavenworth, Kan. He moved to substitute the name of Gen. (>. O. Hoq-ard tor that of Gen. Franklin. Mr. Blue said hi* pnrpore was to free the Ix*avenworth home from the drunken and brutal man now at its bead. Mr. Blue read a telegram from E. J. Anderson and others urging him to fight Gen. Franklin’s reappointment and telling him that 60,­ 000 soldier* in Kansa* were behind him. He claimed that Gov. Smith maintained the biggest saloon in Kansas under the shadow of the flag the aoMiers fought to save. Last year, he said, the profits of the beer hall alone were $13.(XM). Mr. Blue nl«o read an affidavit charging that u contract existing whereby tin* Keeley cure was given to inmate* for $6, while outsider* were charged $20. “Has not tbe toard made an investigation of Gov. Smith's administration?” naked Mr. Hull. “Any investigation made by the Board of Managers,” replied Mr. Bit:*, “i« a roar­ ing farce.” With the understanding that n vote should to had Thursday, the House adjourned. The Senate ratified the Ber­ ing sea arbitration treaty. The treaty provides for a commission to arbitrate the claims made by citizens of England against the United State* for seizure* of vessels engaged in the capture of fur seals prior to the Pari* award. Mr. Blue'* fight against the reappoint­ ment of Gen. WJlliam B. Franklin as a member of the Board of Manager* of tbe National Home for Disabled Volunteers, which was the feature of the proceed!* ja in the House Wednesday, terminated un­ successfully Thuraday. when hi* amend­ ment to substitute the name of Gen. O. O. Hownni for that .of Gen. Franklin was rejected. 149 to 61. Several minor bills were passed. The speaker announced the appointment ot Mr. Cobb (Dem.), of Ala­ bama. on the Ways and Mean* Commit­ tee iu place of Mr. Tarsney. who was un­ seated; Mr. Aldrich (Rep.), of Illinois, on Banking aud Currency, and Mr. Van Horn (Rep.), of Missouri, on Labor. De­ bate of the re»olution.for an investigation of recent bond issues consumed the time of the Senate. Tbe Senate continued debate of th* bond bill Friday, and incidentally Mr. Allen called Mr. Gear a liar. He was compelled to subride, and hi* words were "taken down.” The net result of fiv^ hours' work on the private calendar in the House was the passage of four pen­ sion bills, one to pension the widow of Rear Admiral Foote at $50 a month; the rejection oX-u bill to retire a hospital steward/(s a second lieutenant of cavalry and the passage of a wnr claim lea* than $600. The latter was the first war claim brought tofore the House for consider­ ation and naturally provoked a general debate ou the policy of paying war claim*. After five years the claims of Patrick Shield* and Andrew McKinstry against the Chilian Government for injuries re­ ceived from assault* of a Chilian mob at Santiago have finally been thrown out of all the court* and commissions. Shield* and McKinstry were sailor* on the Keewanah that entered Santiago harbor a week after the Baltimore sailor* were so roughly handled by the mob* iu that city in 1891. They made claims against the Government of Chili, Shields for $100,­ 000 and McKinstry for $20,000. Presi­ dent Harrison made these two claim* a very important part ot one of his mes­ sages to Congress In 1892. In this he said, though the men wcue foreign subjects, they were sailing under the protection of the American flag and they should re­ ceive the same protection as American citizens. ______ FROSTS IN CALIFORNIA. Jack the Nipper Get* in Hie Work on Severe frosts hare caused much damage to fruit In the orchards in the center of California. A dispatch from Fresno says that serious damage was done in vine­ yard* there and that the frosts will cause a short raisin crop. Two-thirds of the grape crop in the vicinity of Calistoga were destroyed and fruits of all kinds suf­ fered to some extent. Cherries, apricots and prunes suffered from the frost-in the vicinity of Ran Jose and ranchers are discouraged over the pro*i>ects of the sea­ son’s crop. The frost had a killing effect on grafx* vine* in the vicinity of Stockton and the vineyard men declare there will not to halt a crop of grape* from the neighboring counties. TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION. Junior Order American Mechanics Appeals to ConipMunen. The secretary of the national legisla­ tive committee of the Junior Order United American Mechanics has been in Wash­ ington for several days in the interest of the bills before Congress for the restric­ tion of Immigration. It is claimed that more petitions have been sent to Congress during the present session for the passage of some bill which will restrict immigra­ tion than for any measure ever before Congress. It is expected by the secretary that if either of the bill* which have been favorably reported by the Immigration Committee of the House comes to a rote it will be passed.

The exercises commenced shortly after 2 o’clock, and upon the broad lawns were assembled several hundred people, who had come from the surrounding town* and farms. Three addresses were delivered— the first by Chauncey F. Black, the sec­ Ind by ex-Gov. Russell nnd the third by Senator Daniel of Virginia. The greatest interest attached to the speeches of the two latter, Mr. Russell standing on a “sound money” platform and Senator Daniel combating his position with a free silver argument. The party returned to Washington nt night. Ex-Gov. ItuHsrll concluded nn eloquent address upon the career of Jefferson with the following reference to the money question: “We are in the midst of earnest agita­ tion over our monetary standard. The agitation crosses party lines and tends to geographical division. It involves the welfare of our country and demands ex­ plicit and courageous treatment.

But the bogs that bare fresh water will have l»etter digestion, and If -fattening will be more free from fever for having pure water.

With a unanimity that wan admirable all the thermometers and all the old residents agree that it was the hottest April day that ever fell to their lot The thermometer in the Chicago Audi­ torium tower, which always Is bashful about climbing up too high, registered at one time during the afternoon os high as 84. but its metallic brothers in the streets below were not at all backward in pro­ claiming their knowledge thnt it was 88. The weather records hold only two cases approaching that of Thursday, and those two days were in 1808 and 18M, respec­ tively. But no proofs written or unwrit­ ten conld persuade the people that it wasn’t hottest day that any April ever produced. It began long before tbe sun shot np over Lake Michigan in the early morning. By 8 o’clock the jubilant mercury tube registered 78. From that time od the metal seemed to have things its own way. It shot up with each succeeding hour un­ til at 4 o'clock R registered just 88. At the same time tbe marking in the Audito­ rium tower had it 84. The trouble, as everybody agreed, was that people were afraid to discard wool­ ens, which had been in use during tbe winter, for lighter underwear. While the temperature went up and up the people kept saying with a fatal persistency, “Well, it’ll be cooler to-morrow. It’s only April nnd this can’t last.” But that brought no relief, and the tired men nnd women simply kept on perspiring. One Chicago was not alone iu its torridity. New York Just tied the record of 84 de­ grees, and the official thermometer of St. Louis, which, like Chicago's, is bashful about too high an ascension, registered 88. in Louisville there was a good, hot, base­ ball temperature of 80, and even frigid Boston mustered up a marking of 76.

Take a painter's brush and dust them Inside and out, washing all the woodwork Inside before touching the glass. The latter mpst be washed simply Ln warm water diluted with ammonia. Do not use soap.

Four miles of rail have been already laid, and tbe track will be com­ pleted along the course laid down in 1884, in order to pass the cataracts. For the guarding of the railway, strong posts have been established on the Nile at Bernneb, Wady Ambigel, Tangur and Sonkl. Each of these posts has been supplied with a contingent to guard tbe point oppo­ site to It on the line as it is laid, in order to prevent the dervishes from destroying the works.

A FEW POINTERS FOR THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD Pure blood is the secret of health and beauty. The features may be regular, the forai perfect, but no woman can be beautiful in the full sense of tbe word while suffering from any of the peculiar ailments of her sex. Disease destroys the complexion, is productive of wrinkles and premature old age. Regular monthly uterine action is necessary to every woman's health, and if this function of life M checked, disease, a pale and sallow complexion, nnd a feeling of exhaustion, are the result- The monthly secretion must continue from puberty to the turn of life without unnatural obstruction. Any breach of this law of Nature will remilt in the distressing symptoms which makes the lives of seventenths of the women of this country miserable, almost unbearable. A few of these symptoms are severe headache, loan of appetite. pile or sallow complexion, palpitation of the heart, swollen ankles or less, nervousness. offensive breath, -etc., etc. The sufferer may exhibit one or more of these symptoms, or may have all. They simply indicate the ravages disease has jnade upon the system, and tbe more the symptoms the patient shows the greater the necessity for prompt and persistent treatment, until they have been banished and the bloom of health is restored. ’ .To accomplish this end Dr. Williams* Pink Pills are the only unfailing remedy. They positively cure all suppressioiw and irregularities, which ifneglected, inevitably entail sickness and trouble. By tskine these pill* for a week or ten days befere the expected return of each period, the paompt appearance of "the viMty’’ is insured. Fur suppremions, the pillf must 1* taken steadily until the reappearance takes place—generally in a month's time, sometimes less. Follow tbe directions on the pamphlet about each box. Nundng women will find their milk improved in quality and quantity bv taking these pills, and nl»o obtain relief from jain in the lack and general draggvdout feeling. Ail displacements from weak­ ness of the uterine ligaments are speedily re­ lieved and ultimately cured by the use of these Pills. Lcqcorrho-a, bearing down, weight in the pelvis, and all female weakness, find speedy relief nnd cure in the administra­ tion of the Pink Pili* for Pale People. The must critical period in the life of a woman is that attending the cessation of men­ struation, or,-as it is most generally termed, the change or turn of life. The symptoms at­ tending this period arc fainting spells or at­ tacks of faintness or dizziness, headache, general debility, exhaustion, a feeling of melancholy, hysteria, pain in the loins or limits, hypochondria, etc. The change is a gradual one—for better or worse—for the former if the patient is wise enough to fortify the system against the ravages of the symptoms attending the change. For this purpose no remedy ever discovered equals Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They purify the blood by acting directly u(>on the sexual system, lessen the rererity of this critical period, and finally leaves the patient in the enjoyment of robust health. All ladiea approaching this critical period should take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. . the 1 functions of life become regular. Upon |parents rests a great rwpot»ihility st the tune 1their daughters arc budding into womanhood. .If your daughter is pair, complains of weak­ iness, is “ tired out *’ upon the slightrrt exer­ 1tion; ifaheia troubled with headache, pain in 1the side *, If her temper is fitful and her uppetite poor, she is in a condition of extreme | |peril, a fit sulijeet for the development of that mart dreadfill of all disease—Cousumption.

Gladness Comes ith a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys­ ical ilia which vanish before proper ef­ forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actnal dis­ ease. but simply to a constipated condi­ tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt­ ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, nnd if everywhere esteemed so highly by all who’value goal health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acta. 11 is therefore all important, in order to get its bene­ ficial effects, to note when you pur­ chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep­ utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa­ tives or other remedies arc not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended totlicmost skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and witk the well-informed everywhere.

Thc “Vlrglnius massacre” was one of <be most atrocious of the many S[>nnlah outrages in Cuba during the last insur­ rection. From the New York Times the following detailed account of tbe trioodthlrsty execution of the prisoners Ab taken: Late in 1870 the Cuban revolutionary •party purchased In New York a Clyde"built iron side-wheel steamer, called ■ the Virgin, and, rechrlstenlng But all to no avail. Even the coming on of night proved of little benefit to the fugitives, for the tpoon rose in full tropical splendor. Finally, toward In the evening, a shell was sent across the bows of the Ill-fated cruiser. There was now no alternative: surrender was unavoidable. Presently two armed boats from tbe Tornado came along­ side. and taking possession of the Vlrglnlus, made all on board prisoners. The first order of die Spanish officer In charge was to lower the American flag and hoist In its place the Spanish ensign, notwithstanding the fact that Capt. Fry presented Ids papers, demon­ strating that the Virginias bad been duly cleared for colors: and shortly vessels started "CAVALRY .ginlus, fitted her up as a cruiser and transport for landing men and supplies -on the Island of Cuba, and. In the fol­ lowing year she sailed under orders from Gen. Raphael Quesada, the revo­ lutionary chief. She succeeded on this •occasion In landing a force near San­ tiago de Cuba, and rendered similar •-•ervices some time later. In the fall •of 1873 an expedition on still larger ■ scale was planned by the Revolution*ry Committee, and on October 8 of that year 175 volunteers and a full • complement of able seamen, the major••tty native Americans, left New York to embark on-tb’e Vlrglnius. then lying In the harlior of Kingston. Jamaica. The ship was commanded by Capt. Joseph Fry. of Louisiana, who had dls- -GEN. JUAN NEFOMUCXNO HURRIEU (Author of the “Vlrglnius” butchery) tlngulshed himself as a blockade run­ ner daring the civil war; and among the revolutionary leaders who boarded her at Kingston were Gen. W. A. C. Ryan, a native New-Yorker, who had already fought in Cuba; Pedro Ces­ pedes. a younger brother of Carlos Manuel Cespedes. President of the Cu*ban republic, and Gens. Jesus del Sol -and Varona, prominent patriots. It was on the 24th <lay of October, *1873. that the Vlrglnius steamed out of ^Kingston harbor. The original Inten•tlon was to sail direct for Culm, but a mishap to tbe machinery necessitated a stoppage at Port au Prince. Haiti. A. second start was made on Oct. 30. Meantime the Spanish consul at Klngs*ton had been keeping a watch on the • movements of the cruiser. This result­ ed in Gov. Burriel, of Santiago de •Cuba, ordering the commander of the •warship Tornado to sail in quest of her. On the morning of tbe 31st the Spanish for Santiago do Cuba, which waa reach­ ed the following afternoon at 5 o’clock. The arrival of the Tornado with her prize created n tremendous sensation, and the 'wharves were soon crowded with exultant citizens and officials eager to gaze dn the foolhardy "Ynn- Whatever dismal foreboding the act­ ual leaders of the Vlrglnius expedition may have entertained, it does not ap pear that tbe purely Anwflcan portion of the crew looked forward with any serious apprehension to the outcome of thelr enterprise. While It Is true that the Spanish authorities had good rea­ son to suspect hostile Intentions on their part, not a scintilla of evidence bad been obtained which would war­ rant prosecution; for, as already stated, every object of a suspicious nature had been thrown overboard before the sur­ render, and when the Spaniards board­ ed the Virginias she was to all outward appearances a peaceable merchantman, duly documented, with tbe American flag flying at her stern. Capt. Fry and bis men. therefore, expected nt the worst a short imprisonment and an early return to the United States. But the poor fellows had not reckoned on the bloodthirsty temper of Gov. Burriel and tbe Spanish volunteers and their Intense hatred for this country. On tbe day following the arrival of the Vlrglnius in Santiago, a court-mar­ tial was held on l»oard the Tornado. It began at 0 and ended at 4 o’clock. The charge was “piracy on the high seas;" and four leaders, Rynu, Varona, Cesj>edes nnd Del Sol, were-proinptly found guilty nnd sentenced to be shot. Early at dawn on the morning of Nov. 3 the unfortunate men were led from their prison to tbe slaughter house outside of the. town limits, nnd to the cry of “Cuba forever,” they fell beneath a hall of ballets. But this was only a fore­ taste of Spanish vengeance. The first four victims, though executed In viola­ tion of all international law, were at least open and recognized- enemies of Sj»aln. nnd had figured prominently In tbe war. Not so the captain and the craw of the Vlrglnius, many of whom had even l>ecn ignorant of the purposes nnd destination of the Ill-fated vessel. These men appeared before their judges a few hours after the distant rattle of musketry had told them of the fate of their companions, aud be­ fore dusk the captain and his men— many of them youths under age—had learned that their last moments were at hand. Thirty-seven of them. Includ­ ing Capt. Fry, were told off for exeeu- ---------- -------j». with tb« Tlrtlm. In ts. prisoners were placed kneeling on the edge of tbe trench, bound but not blind­ folded, tbelr faces turned to the wall. What followed is brsMoid in tbe words of Franklin Coffin, nn American eye witness of the tragedy: ’’After they had knelt down,” he says, “the captain walked along the line and bade each ode good-by separ­ ately. No one was slighted, not even the colored men who sailed among the crew. The last sounds they beard on earth, apart from the roar of the mus­ kets that belched forth their death, were the kind words spoken bjf the heroic Fry. When this act of gentle­ ness was done bo knelt down with the rest. The men were formed In a line about three feet from the wall. Three paces buck of them were the marines, with the muskets at the shoulder. Just before tbe volley was fired Capt. Fry took off his hat and turned his face up­ ward, as If In prayer. There, was one' brief moment of pause: then came the flame, tbe smoke and the roar. As tbe cloudy curtain lifted, thirty-six of the thirty-seven num were seen writhing in the agonies of a partial death. Poor Fry lay stone dead, a bullet in his heart, his calm face upturned toward the beautlfal tropical sky.” According to several eye witnesses the scene that ensued was hideous be­ yond description. The marines rushed upon the wounded men nnd In-gxn dis­ patching them with horrible brutality. Thrusting the muzzles of tbelr muskets into tbe eyes and ears of the dying, these fiends literally blew tbelr heads off. But a still greater horror was at band. Presently some cavalry appear­ ed. and In order to accelerate the ex­ termination of the vlctlmq, the horse soldiers were ordered to ride their steeds over the reeking mass of dying men. This was repeated several time* * until the last breath of life had been crushed out of the sufferers. After this the troops withdrew, and the rab­ ble were let loose on the human sham­ bles. with tbe result that for the rest of the day the streets were paraded by processions bearing the heads of tbe victims on long pikes. Thus ended the bloody orgy of Nov. 4. 187J. It must not be supposed thnt this sec­ ond butchery had quenched Gov. Bur‘’ricl’s thirst for blood. On the contrary, orders were issued by him for the shooting of fifty more of the prisoners— the majority being boys ranging from Id to 20 years of age—and 3 o’clock on the afternoon of the 5th was the hour set for tbelr execution. At 10 o’clock on the morning of that day. however, a gallant British man-of-war, H. M. 8. Niobe. steamed into the harbor of San­ tiago. As soon ns her commander, Sir Lambton Lorraine, heard of the gov­ ernor’s intentions, be quietly trained bls guns on the town, and sent word nshore that, in view of the probability that some of the crew of the Vlrglnius were British subjects, be must Insist upon a postponement of the execution until the respective governments had l>een communicated with. Burriel de­ murred nt first, but a second look at the portholes of the Niobe and her decks cleared for action caused him to acquiesce In.the demand, and the re­ mainder of the craw nnd passengers were saved. The subsequent action of the United Stati* Government, ending In S|Miln's apology for this unheard-of outrage, and the surrender of tbe Vlrglnius, to­ gether with the survivors of the illfated expedition, nre matters that do Dot come within tbe scope of this article. One little incident, however, emphasizes the absolute devilish cruel­ ty manifested by the officials on this occasion. The day before tbe surviv­ ors of the Vlrglnius, 102 In number, were taken from Moro Castle to Hav­ ana, to be turned over to the United States authorities, they were Informed by their jailers thnt their walk on the morrow would be from the cell to the grave. To enhance tbelr sufferings a priest entered the castle and began to shrive them. All night this Inhuman torture was Indulged In. nnd when In the morning light streamed In over the frowning walls they ail thought It the dawn of tbelr last day on earth. Sadly they fell into line and marched out Into the town. All this while the United States vessel Juniata was lying In the harbor awaiting them, ami their feel­ ings can be better imagined than de­ scribed when the welcome truth final­ ly forced Itself upon them. This epi­ sode was a fitting climax to one of tbe most hideous clmptenf In the long story of Spanish oppression and cruelty. !Decidntl by Jury. CAPT.

Sir Edward Clarke read, from a l»ook of tbe plaintiff's, a description of Chopin’s “umber-shode«l head.*’ “What shade?" asked Lord Russell. “Umber,” replied Sir Edward. “Yea, but what is that?” persisted the chief justice. At this point the feelings of the jury were too much for them. With a unan­ imity reminiscent of the “Pirates of Penzance,” they chanted in expostuMtory chorus: "Brown, my lord, brown,” and the trial went on. A Plea**nt Frolic.

TAPS A COFFEE Employes Had Fitted One or more employes of the wholesale grocery house of Bement, Rea & Co., of Terre Haute, Ind.‘. were so desirous of getting bicycles that they opened not less than 5(M) packages of coffee to get the couiwns, for a certain number ot which the manufacturers give a bicycle.

The views ot Senator Morgan on the Pacific Railway refunding bill were sub­ mitted to the Senate Tuesday by Sena­ tor Pygh. in behalf of his colleague, who was called out of the city. Tbe Sen­ ator takes a position decidedly antago­ nistic to’ the bill reported, and begins by shnr^iy criticising the jdint meetings of the sub-eommittces of the two bouses, for tbe formulation of the bill. He charac­ terises this concerted action as a breach of duty and .privilege. Such action is. he says, calculated to bring the pressure of outside influence of the mo»t serious character to bear directly upon the action of the Senate and'to Its free judgment upon tbe measure before It. Tbe added burden of the adjudication by a commit­ tee of the House is calculated to •‘smoth­ er out" the minority. Taking up the bill, the Senator *ay* the proceeding proposed is one of bargain and sale in disposing of the property and rights of the Govern­ ment, and is novel because hitherto Con­ gress hn* not engaged in that line of busi­ ness. Senator Morgan says ap examina­ tion of Mr. Huntington’s testimony be­ fore the Senate committee on Pacific roads “will disclose a most extraordinary condition of affairs relating to the Cen­ tral and Southern Pacific railroads and other roads connected with them." and continues: “Without attempting, in this paper, to array the evidence of fraud and speculation which Huntington’s testimony vainly attempts to conceal, attention is drawn to tbe fact that his evasions of the truth, as it is thoroughly established, are his main reliance for misleading Congress in his effort to capture the Central Pacific Railway, after it has made him and his three or four associates enormously rich, on the plea that his pride impels him to save this road from bankruptcy, to which his fraudulent dealing seems to have driven IL" MINING TOWN BURNED.

Mr. Gray said he never learned that the foun­ dations of this Government were not broad‘enough for equal justice and toler^ stion to all. Protestahtism was not big­ otry, he said, and Christianity was not fanaticism. Mr. Pettigrew ssked that a time for a vote on the toCtarian school amendment be fixed, but there was objec­ tion to fixing any time. The Senate Wednesday disposed of the sectarian school question by adopting a compromise framed by Senator Cockrell of Missouri. Tbe Indian lull, as it camefrom the Senate, provided that no money therein appropriated shall be paid for education In sectarian school*. This pro­ vision is struck out by the Cockrell amendment, as adopted, and it is declared to be the settled policy of the Government to make no appropriations for sectarian schools after July 1. 1898. thus giving two years for the abandonment of sec­ tarian schools. Instead of an immediate abandonment. The amendment waa adopted by the decisive vote of 38 to 24. The Indian bill was not completed when the Senate adjourned. Tbe House enter­ ed upon the consideration of the general pension bill, reported from tbe invalid {tension committee. It amends tbe exist­ ing pension laws in some very important respect*. It makes presumption of death of an enlisted man exist if no tidings have been heard from him for seven years. It provides that desertion or dishonorable discharge shall not be a bar to a pension under the act ot 1890 if the enlisted man has served nine ty days subsequent to such discharge. It provides that pensions al­ lowed shall date from their first applica­ tion. It fixes the maximum income of a widow entitled to a pension under the act of l&M) at $300 per anuum. It ptovidca that no ..pension shall be reduced or dis­ continued except for fraud or recovery from disability and that discontinued pen­ sions when reconsidered and renllowed1 shall date from their discontinuance.

The CapRol police have strange things to tell about the uncanny doings in* the vaulted corri­ dors after nightfaiL The ghoats they tell •bout are not simple, everyday visitors from the land of the unseen, but tbe shades of distin­ guished men in the nation’s history. The majestic spiritual ego of John Quincy Adams, once President of the United States; of Vice-President Henry Wilson, a Massachusetts statesman, and of Gen. John A. Logan, famous in /lek! and forum, are said to haunt by night the echoing halls where legislators tread by day. . When the redoubtable Andrew Jnckson was inaugurated. March 4, 1829. Adams retired for a short while to private life. It was not until Feb. 21. 1848, that he died. He was at that time a repre­ sentative. and his passing away was tragic. During a session of the House he suddenly slipped from his seat to the floor. Apoplexy, the doctors said. He was borne to a room near by, where not many hours later be died, with but a few mur­ mured words. It was not tong after the unhappy erent that there wns whispering among the officials who took enre of the Capitol Building after dark that someone like unto the dead Adams was seen nightly to pass out of the speaker's room, in w£icb the ex-Preaident had died, into the House chamber, which is now. statuary hall, and wander about among the seats. It would pause beside the chair occupied by Adams, then gradually fade away into nothing­ ness. After the seats were removed nnd statues places in the hsll the change ap­ parently disconcerted the distinguished ghost, for, according to the beat authori­ ties. those who claimed to have seen the whole proceeding, the shade of the states­ man wandered around and around the chamber, and finally passed out without apparently having found his former place of daily occupation. But later a small bronze tablet was inserted in the floor, through the good offices of somebody who .felt sorry for the ghost, upon the spot where Jobs Quincy Adams' chair used to stand, and then-it is said the ghost walk­ ed ns before, with every evidence of be­ ing once again nt peace. This j»articutar shade was seen on Feb. 21 last, and is not expected again until that date. What purported to be the ghost of the beloved Vice-President is said to move and have ita ethereal being in tbe Vice­ President’s room, the marble room, where the Senators receive their callers, and in the corridors thereabouts. It wns while in tbe first named apartment that Mr. Wilson was also suddenly visited by the angel of death, Nov. 10, 1873, who re­ mained with him until Nov. 22, when he died, after three .severe shocks of apo­ plexy. The apparition suppose! to represent this poor man is occasionally declared to manifest itself suddenly, ns if evolnted out of the thin air, and os quickly vanish upon the approach of a mortal. The spirit of Black Jack Logan is said to make its appearance nt exactly twenty minutes after 12 o'clock midnight. The general was at one time chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, and out of this committee room he emerges, tak­ ing care to close the door after him, nnd glides swiftly down the corridor, to dis­ appear without trace or sound. This is perhaps tbe moat substantia! of all the Capitol ghosts, for there nre numbers of persons ready to attest having witnessed his mysterious passage through the, gloomy halls. But it dees not take the actual appear­ ance of these shades to make tbe Capitol a placc.of grewaomcnesB and awe at Sight In the stillness that pervades a door shutting at one end of the tong building may be faintly beara at the other, and a step in the rotunda will come back from all sides with startling echoing. Jt is one of the stories that every night there is a sound in the portico of the Senate wing ns of some one scrub­ bing th«- marble floor and the noise of water being thrown down on it is plainly audible. Capitol officials tell of an aged negro who used to be one of the sweeps, and who died a number of years ago. and who, they say. performs his early morn­ ing duties of washing up just a few hours before daybreak each day. This ghostly individual is the unseen terror of all the negro laborers who clean up around the Capitol, and they will not wotk without plenty of light on the subject. It would give a timid person the fright of his lite to walk across statuary ball at midnight and in tbe dark. In no place in tbe vast building are the echoes so strange or so ghostly. There are a num­ ber of what are called echo stones. by stepping upon which and speaking one is astounds! to bear his voice coming up apparently beneath his feet. It to a trick the gtrtdcs have of startling their customera by stepping up behind some pillar and. just at the moment when the unwary tourist stands on a certain stone, giving voice to a harsh and sepulchral whisper' that will reverberate iu ghostly accent ctose In his ear beneck and Gea. J. 8. Cuxey of Ohio were present and made speeches. The temper of the convention was conciliatory and radical action was avoided, the conven­ tion falling in line with the wishes of Gen. J. B. Weaver. There was a consid­ erable undercurrent of Boies talk among the delegate*, and the hope was freely expressed that the Democrat to convention at Chicago would spilt oo the silver ques­ tion nnd both wings nominate candidates. If this la done the Iowa.Populist delega­ tion nt St Louis will undoubtedly seek to hove tbe silver Democratic nominee for President, indorsed. especially if Boies should be the man. Gen. Wearer, who acted ns temporary chairman, said: “If we lose tbe fight this fall it will be death to our cause this side of revolution. If the gold men win they will refund $300,000,000 of treasury notes into inter­ est-bearing bonds. That is the issue. We arc in the crisis and must win.” After his address at the opening of the afternoon session Gen. Weaver, chairman of the committee on resolutions, submit­ ted tbe following majority report: ' Resolved,'That tbe delegates to the St. Ix>uis convention be instructed to do all in their power to secure a union of all the re­ form forces on a common ticket and a platform embodying the fundamental principles of the Omaha platform, with a further resolution favoring the initiative and referendum. The minority report wns: We recommend the adoption of the Omaha platform in full, with initiative and referendum added. After n brief but exciting discussion the majority report was adopted by nn over­ whelming rote. The following delegates to the St. Louis convention were "selected by tbe districts named: First district, G. W. Davin of Louisa and J. M. Holland of Henry; second. Dr. C. W. Wirth of Jackson and T.

Fight on the Single Issue. »n the Ohio Prohibition State conven­ tion at . indtay there was a spirited con­ test over the money plank, the majority of the committee favoring the free coin­ age of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1, and the minority advocating free coinage at a ratio to be fixed by taw. The majority report was adopted. The platform de­ clares In brief: Favors woman suffrage; opposes alien ownership of land; favors government control of railroads and telegraphs: advo­ cates tbe raising of revenues by taxation on property and incomes; Import dnties to be levied only as a means of securing equitable commercial relations; declares for Sunday rest; opposes public appropria­ tions for sectarian purposes; favors the election of President, Vice-President nnd Senators by direct vote; favors libera! pensions; asks for a revision of the immi­ gration laws; favors lotting aliens vote after one year from the time of full nat­ uralization; favors tbe*lnitiative ajul ref­ erendum, and declares for free coinage at 16 to 1. -After tne platform hnd been adopted the following State ticket was uondnated: __ For Secretary of State. Alvin Crabtree, of Springfield; for Supreme Judge, M. B.

Johnston for Governor. The resolu­ tions adopted advocate free coinage of silver at 10 to 1. instruct the twenty-two delegates from the State to vote as a unit on nil questions at the Chicago conven­ tion, advocate the repeal of the 10 per cent State bank tax. favor honest elec­ tions and the legalising of primary elec­ tions. The convention enthusiastically applauded the mention of President Cleve­ land’s name and adopted a resolution indoraing his foreign policy and the appoint­ ment of Southern men to cabinet posi­ tions. but disapproving his financial poV icy. The votes in tbe various stages of the convention’s proceedings showed the relative strength of the two factions to be about <33 to 101 in favor of Captain Johnston nnd the free sliver men and against the Democrats who, under the leadership of Congressman Clnrk, hold to the financial policy of the national ad­ ministration. _______ Political Pot. Populists of Nebraska will meet in Grand Island July 15 to select State del­ egates. A nominating convention will be held in Hastings at some date in August, to be fixed by tbe executive committee. Tbe Connecticut Republican State con­ vention met in New Haven and selected delegates to the national convention. The platform opens with a declaration In favor of a protective tariff and the recip­ rocity plan advocated by tbe late James G. Blaine. Upon the currency question the convention says: “We are unalterably opposed to the Issue of unsecured pai*er money, either by tbe Government or the banks; the free coinage of silver at any ratio, and favor a single standard of value, and that standard gold."

It was just 3 o'clock when a big, black, whirling cloud was seen in the southwest approaching at a fearful speed and apparently headed for the heart of Fremont. People on the streeta'cned out to each other in fear and ran in search of a place of refuge. In five* minutes the cloud had gone on its way, passing close to tbe city’s western outskirts and disap­ pearing in the distance. In its wake was a path of desolation, ruin, and death. William L. Greene, together with bis son, James, and the latter's family, occu­ pied a large frame residence on a farm directly in tbe path of the storm. The house was crushed, W. L. Greene was killed outright and his mangled remains carried some distance from tbe sits of the building. Mrs. James Grecpe was badly injured and will probably not recover. Her in­ fant child was peacefully sleeping in a cradle when the house was struck. The cradle and its occupant were picked up like a feather and carried quite a distance in an adjoining field. When discovered the cradle was smashed, but tbe babe was unharmed. At the farm of Amos Hetrick John Low and Hetrick were shearing sheep in a barn. The barn was leveled to the ground. Low was blown out of the barn across a forty-acre field against a tree and Instantly killed. Hetrick escaped with light injuries. A young child of Charles Tucker's was badly injured by­ flying pieces of timber. Abraham Fought, a farmer, was struck and ah arm and leg were broken. Ruins, scattered far and wide, are all that are now left of what were a few hours ago many ideal country houses and farms. At Muscalong creek, where the Wheel­ ing and Lake Erie Railroad lies in the path of the storm, fearful damage was done. A large tree was blown across a freight train, striking the caboose, crush­ ing it like nn egg shelL Several train­ men were in the caboose at the time, but they miraculously escaped injury. Book­ town, the small hamlet, was laid waste. Not a building Is left standing. The roof of the Hatfield brick school house, three miles northwest of Fostoria, was blown off nnd the gt^Ae ends fell in, while school was in session, breaking the arm of the teacher, Miss Belle Norris. Several children were injured, one little boy named Hatfield being carried several hundred feet by tbo wind. At New Castle, Pa., there were many narrow escapes from death. The front of Charles Earle’s west side store was blown In. Three school buildings were complete­ ly unroofed, while the Catholic Church suffered a simitar fate.

In North Dakota no seeding has yet been done. Preparations for corn planting have been pushed rapidly during the week, and in tbe more southerly sections planting has con­ tinued with much activity. Some corn has been planted -in Illinois and Nebras­ ka, and planting will be begun in Iowa this week. Cotton planting has contin­ ued under favorable conditions, and in tbe central and southern portions of the cotton region is coming up generally to a good stand. Germination, however, has been slow, owing to the drought In some sections of the Western portion of tbe cotton region.

To Walter Katte, chief engineer of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, is due the chief credit of the design of the new steel viaduct and draw­ bridge. The draw span, which is the only four-track railway drawbridge in the world, measures 400 feet over all nnd weighs 2,500 tons. The drawbridge is 58 feet 6 inches wide from center to center of the outside trusses, and is car­ ried by three trusses, of which the cen­ tral one is the heaviest Between the central and each of the two side trusses is a clear space of twenty-six feet, which permits the passage of two sets of double tracks. The floor is corrugated, like that of the viaduct, and the rails are bolted to it with only the intervention of steel tie plates. The weight of the draw span is carried by two bnge steel drums, one inside the other. Tbe diameter of the outer drum But only one person was wounded, and that was a colored servant of the cap­ tain of the Pottsville artillery, who was cut on the face by a brick. On the 19th of April the Sixth Massachusetts regi­ ment, which followed them, encountered an even more angry mob, and the riot which occurred on that day in Baltimore is a matter of history. The survivors of the First Defenders Association met at Harrisburg to begin their historic pilgrimage, which covered the entire route over which they went in 1SG1. In Baltimore they were the guests of the city, and were entertained by the Grand Army of the Republic. They went to Washington Friday and remained until Saturday night.

It is such a wonder­ fully simple thing that people do not regard it seriously. They let it run on, let it grow worse, become chronic, and show itself all over tbe body in fifty ways before they con­ sider it important. Constipation causes nine-tenths of all hnnun ailments. Its first symptoms do not seem very serious, but even they are very disagreeable. A few of them are sour stomach, flatulence, heart burn, distress after eating, foul breath, coated tongue, dirziness. palpitation of the heart, sick and bilious headaches, general lassitude and debility. When any of these symptoms show themselves, you should inimedialvly take Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant PcL lets, according to directions. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules, made on purpose.to cure constipation.

They arc also obliged to take • good deal of exercise to secure what •tliry want. Both of these advantages •enn be secured to hens confined in yards. In winter grain of different kins, oats nnd wheat may be mixed with cut straw, and the bens be allowed to scratch for It In tbe hen house.

Os­ trich feathers have for rtiuny years form­ ed the greater part, in value, of the Sou­ dan exports, while wax. coffee, a large variety of gum. and an enormous quantity of fine skins and hides make up the re­ mainder. it Is plain that under proper conditions the region can be made enor­ mously productive, and those conditions will l»e attaint'd when the land has been reconquered for civilization by the AngloEgyptian trotops. So far as tbe towns are concerned, they are, at present, hardly worthy of the name. Khartoum nnd OmdurmAn, Ber­ ber aud the rest are all alike in their main features, the lending difference be­ ing found in tbe fact that some lire larger than others. The striking similarity is even continued down the Nile, for Edfour. on the borders of the present Egyptian frontier, is of tbe same class.

Immediately south of the vast Saharan desert, with its shifting sands and sparse imputation, lies Soudan. “Land of the Blacks,” n -region that stretches clear across the continent. It bus never been fully explored, but the accounts brought back by travelers who hare penetrated it here and there show it to lie a country of marvelous possibilities. So far as climate is concerned, it is one of the hottest re­ gions on the globe, there being many places where the mean annual tempera­ ture exceeds 85 degrees, but it differs from the Sahara in nu abundance of rainfall, and consequently in fertility also.

The Egyptian domain comprised Kordofan, Nubin, Scnaar, Taka and some provinces still further south, an area esti­ mated at a little less than 1,000,000 square mllqs, with an unknown popula­ tion. The country is as different from Egypt proper as enn easily be conceived. In­ stead of the arid sands and brazen skies, from which rain never falls, there arc forests and swamps, long stretches of what we call prairie land, and frequent plateaus, considerably elevated above the river, which furnish excellent pasturage for wild antelope and the flocks and herds of the Inhabitants. Here nnd then* arc arid spots, even along the river bank, where tbe shadoof, or curjous mechanical contrivance which answers the farmers Instead of a pump, is put into practical operation.

Tan­ dem riding Is becoming eminently popular. Henry Knickerbocker is In trouble again and this time it looks as though Henry had an excellent prospect of en­ joying a sojourn at Jackson. It will be remembered some time ago he was pulled up and admitted burglarizing several stores in the village, among them Truman & Banks’, C. L. GlasBw's. Frank McDerby’s and R. ayo’s. Sympathy for the boy’s mother prevailed upon these people not to prosecute, under his promise of reformation and abstaining from the use of liquor, and for a few weeks he attended to business and it began to look as though he really intended to brace up. Lately, however, he com­ menced drinking again, and after he had been seen in a state of intoxica­ tion several times Mr. Mayo decided to go on with his case. Accordingly a warrant was issued last Friday by Justice Mills and given tu Deputy Sheriff Smith to serve. “Knick” got next in some way and skipped, but was overhauled and brought back, and gave bonds in the sum of $300 to ap­ pear Wednesday for examination. Saturday night it is alleged he went over to Vermontville and in company with "Boodle” Marble, a tough charac­ ter of that place broke Into the stores of E. A. Phillips and C. & F. B. Hull. Phillips says he has not missed any goods, but at the drug store a quanti­ ty of liquor was taken? The boys then took the midnight train to Charlotte, got good and drunk and came back on the 5.19.train Sunday morning. Mar­ ble got off here and walked back to Vermontville, where he was arrested and locked up. Knickerbocker went on to Hastings and came back on the afternqon train, boiling drunk, when when his bondsman gave him up and he was locked up in the village pen until Monday morning, when be was taken to Hastings. At the examination Wednesday before Judge Mills he was bound over for trial at circuit court, and in default of bonds in the sum of $1,000 was taken back to the county Jail. He is a tough nut, has been a petty thief for years, and as his reformation seems to be utterly out of the question It seems the only thing to be done is to send him up. It will be the best thing, not only for his own folks but for the public at large, and for that matter for “Knick” himself. . The Freeport, Ohio, Press says: “If people would purchase green coffee and brown it In their homes, there would be fewer cases of diphtheria, scarlet and typhoid fever. The aroma arising from the browning berry is one of the best agents in disinfecting dwellings of impure air. It is easier to buy coffee already browned than to prepare it, but in the preparation once a week saves health and .doctor bills. The d<»ors should be left open and let the aroma pervade every room.” The same results would be obtained by burning small quantities of tbeground berry on a few live coals taken from the stove. In this simple wav every room in the house could be disinfected at a trifling cost. It is worth trying. M. C. EXCURSION RATES.

It is altogether probable that hun­ dreds of poems have betm written on the beauties of spring, ami barrels of Ink and resins of paper have been shed and wasted In the effort to show forth I4TTLB GRUBBIMG EXERCISK. the glories of the season when all na­ ture wakes to new life and vigor, but of all the jxH'tB who have celebrated the season of the opening leaves' and budding flowers. It is likely that .not more tlutn.1 per cent, lived in the coun­ try or had to take any active part In the rural duties Inseparable from the youth of the year. . The city resident may poetize and moralize over the coming of the beauti­ ful spring, but the man who makes his living in the country hnsjio time for either poetry or philosophy, for to him the advent of spring means hothlng but n great deal of hard work. No matter how florid the poets may become qbout the new birth of the flowers and trees, to the farmer this event Is of signifi­ cance merely ns indicating that the plowing and sowing must begin. He has no time for sentiment, for the spring is altogether too short for the amount of work he is obliged to squeeze Into it, and summer treads so closely ou its heels that before he Is ready the heated term begins. It Is not likely that more than once in ten years the farmer secs summer come on when he is fully pre­ pared for It.’ Not that he Is dilatory, or that the season is short, but that there is so much to be done. Someone defines a farmer ns "n man who works as hard as lie can all the year round for his board and clothes, and not very good board nor very tine clothes.” The definition seems extravagant, but that fact is due to the circumstance that It Is full of truth, for the farmer’s work, like woman’s. Is never done, as by the time It reaches a certain stage. It begins again and goes the same dreary round. The fanner regards springtime there­ fore. not from a poetical, but from a purely practical, point of view, for It is the season when he begins nil over again. It Is a common saying that you never know how much you have until you begin to more, and in the same sense the farmer never realizes how much trash can accumulate al>out -a place until htTstarts to clean up In the । THE “ AMBITIOUS MULE spring. Then dead weeds and brush and branches and all the odds and ends of plant life seem to-breed before his eyes, and the places which during the previottssniumernnd nutamn appeared reasonably free from nature's debris seem to have served ns trash factories during the winter. The corners of the pld style stake and rider fences are the worst. There is n superstition that this particular brand of fence was invented by the enemy of all mankind, who. find­ ing thorns and thistles and other weeds did not grow with sufficient luxuriance In tbc open field to suit his diabolical purpose, went to work and persuaded men to build worm fences, whose tri­ angular comers, which could not be cultivated at all. and wore with diffi­ culty reached by the hoe. afforded har­ boring places where all sorts of weeds could spread themselves like a green bay tree and flourish ;o their hearts* contents The superstition may bare as little foundation as superstitions gener­ ally have, but considering the facilities afforded by the ral! feme for weed growing. It Is not remarkab e that some such Idea should have come Into being, for of all the Jobs that the farmer and the farmer’s wife and the hired man do not enjoy doing, cleaning the fence corner* is the least highly appreciated. It la. so to speak, purely a labor of lore, or. rather, of cleanliness, and for the looks of the farm, for nothing can be planted in a fence corner, no matter how clean it is kept, and If It could, nothing will grow there but weeds. As Ma.- Twain paid about screening tail­ ings at an ore mill. It Is a constant job always waiting to be done, and when a fanner has nothing else on hand he can go and weed the fence cornent. There Is another odd job that is rea­ sonably certain to turn up sometime in the course of every spring, and that is brush burning. Only fie hottest days cleared, and everybody falls to with all There In no more romance hl* might. The trees are cut down, about planting than about any other the trunks and larger limbs roiled to part of the farmer’s .spring toll, for one side and the undergrowth and nothing is more fatiguing than to walk smaller branches piled luto heaps for all day over newly plowed ground, burning.

It is a singular fact about n patch of ground that needs grabbing that It al­ ways has more roots in It than any oth­ er patch of ground you ever saw. Why thlsshould Im? so is a mystery, but then, farming Is full of mysteries, and this Is perhaps no greater than a hundred oth­ ers. it being more observable because more troublesome titan some of the others. The mention of mysteries Invites at­ tention to the tact that by some curious freak of nature the spring time is the most favorable season for all sorts, kinds and conditions of breakages In farni implements, harness and appli­ ances generally. Philosophical per­ sons. who are always prying Into the reasons of things and finding explana­ tions that no one else can discover, pre­ tend to say that the spring epidemic of breakage in harness, wagons, plows, hoes and other tools Is due to the fact that these articles are not properly cared for In the wjuter; that. If af’er using them in the autumn they had been oiled and put away In a dry house .during tbc cold season. then oiled and cleaned in the spring before using them, most of the breakage could be avoided. Bnt this view of the case, which. to the philosopher, seems so plausible. Is regarded by the farmer with distrust, not to say with Incredu­ lity. ■ The friskinets of the mules when first led forth from Uie stable and placed iu front of a plow which they are expected to persuade throng!i more or less rooty and cloddy earth for the next sixty days is not difficult to ex­ plain.

Officers of the Salvation Army Moat Do Nobbing Sentimental. Marriages of officers in the Salvation arms are not numerous, and perhaps the reason is to be found In the very strlngeht laws which govern the love­ making in that body. The new field l>ook of the army, which has just been issued, lays down the rules which must and heart-breaking jilting will be re­ duced to the ranks.

The administration won a victory Wed­ nesday, on the finance question, in ths Michigan State Democratic couvrntioB at Detroit. It was only after the fiercest fight of Dickinson’s life that he became the victor. All Tuesday night and Wed­ nesday morning the silver men were claiming the victory, and even up to noon, 'in the congressional conventions held, sil­ ver had the majority. The, conventions by congressional districts were Intensely heated and marked with acrimony. In the First District, Wayne County, Dickinson’s men had previously fixed things so that there was no fight. The Second District caucus was very warm and so evcaly divided that the silver men elected Elmer Kirby ami the .gold men Lester H. Salisbury. In the Third Dis­ trict it was ail anti-administration and for silver, James M. Power* of Eaton County and John’ K. Shipman of. Branch being elected. In the Fourth District convention there was a two-hour wrangle end then a bolt by the silver men. who objected to the ruling of the administra­ tion chairman of the caucus. After the lK>!t the silver men declared they had been unfairly counted out; and they prov­ ed their claim by showing five more in the bolting cnucus'than was left in the regular. The Fifth District was so over­ whelmingly for the white metal that the gold people did not try to do anything and George P. Hummer and A. A. El!i» were nominated as district delegates. In thk Sixth congressional district it was ‘all silver, so much so that the gold men were not in evidence at all, except two local officeholders, who tried to get a representation by proxyai Tlic district delegates are Samuel L. niggnall and Arthur R. Tripp. The administration .evidently had things all arranged in the Seventh. as the gold men very quickly squelched the few adherents of the sixteen-to-one doctrine and elected Frank W. Hubbard.and Martin Crocker as dele­ gates, and they also carried the Eighth after a short fight. Ferdinand Bushes r.nd William B. Baum were elected dele­ gates, although Baum is a silver man. From the Ninth W. II. Lay and A. T. Squires were elected. From the Eleventh C. II. Southerland and F. J. Potter, an-1 from tho Twelfth E. J. Brown and M. J. Magee, all for gold, were chosen. The gold men mnde a big fight in the Tenth, called the silver men names and were finally knocked out by a very decided ma­ jority. This seemed to give the silver men thir­ teen delegates to the gold twelve, with the Fourth district in doubt. Even with this standing nt noon. Dickinson did not give up the fight, and between that and the assembling of the convention at 4 o’clock had put in hl* master strokes. The silver men were conscious that they were losing ground, owing to the great work put in by the officeholders, but were not willing fo admit themselves beaten. The test vote of relative strength same when Sjtcrenson moved to lay on the ta­ ble Barkworth's motion to adopt resolu­ tions before electing, district delegates. Everything was commotion,'but the vote by counties seemed to show that Dickin­ son had rounded up 424 votes, while his adversaries had but SCO.- After that, de­ spite the protests frohi the silver men, and despite all sorts of objections, the ad­ ministration forces rode to victory. Tiie money plank Is ns follows: “On the finance question we recognize that this administration stands upon and has consistently carried out the national Democratic platform of 1892. on which it was elected by the people, which decided that the’ parity of the metals in our cur­ rency shall be maintained. The platform of the national convention, which has car­ ried the country overwhelmingly f<»r our party, should be the doctrine of Demo­ crats until a new platform is formed by another national convention. To the na­ tional convention to be held July 7 we re­ mit this subject, with confidence in tho wisdom and patriotism of that body.” They reiterate the parity of the metals ns currency and deplore any attempt to make radical departure until another na­ nnorrtxo a torpedo from the clouds. tional platform is formulated.

To add to the terror of the occasion, the storm came at night, arousing the panicstricken people from their slumber to face death in terrible form. There was scant warning, a few fleecy clouds in the even­ ing giving no sign ot the howling tempest that wa* to descend three hours later. The list of killed, so far as reported, is a* follows: E.

There dwelt a well-to-do Frenchman, Ell Beit­ zor, hi* wife and six children. The farm house and outbuilding were torn to pieces, and Mr. Beltzoz-ond Lis wife killed. The family were preparing to go into the cellar when the storm struck them. Just east of there another farmer, Joseph Trembly, was killed. None of the family, so for as can be learned, was injured.

When 1b* fire broke out in a second-hand store the danger of a big conflagration was not per­ ceived, and it was thought that the fire­ men, who were early on the scene, would have the flames under control in a very few minutes.

Heartrending tales of suffering are told by persona who visited the acenes of the storm. Many of the Injured lay all night, pinned down by wreckage or paralyzed in the mud. while others crawled or bobbled across the country to a neighbor's bouse.

Buildings were lifted up and then hurled to the ground with force enough to de­ molish them. The wife and daughter of John Mffrrjs were reading when the shock came. The house was divided.

Thia, according to a Washington dispatch, is the opinion of officials and others best qualified to make an Intelligent estimate of the result of the fiscal operations of the year. In his annual estimates sent to Congress at the beginning of the present session, the Sec­ retary of the Treasury estimated the re­ ceipts from Customs during the fiscal year at $172,000,000. So far. with nearly ten months of the year gone, the customs re­ ceipt* have rcacheu about $137,000,000, with a fair prospect ot increasing to $165,­ 000,000 by the close ot the year. The esti­ mate of the receipts from internal revenue sources was $158,000,OuO. Up to this time they have reached $120,000,000 and it is expected that the figures for the com­ pleted year will be about $146,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous sources are expected to slightly exceed the esti­ mates of $15,000,000, making the total receipt* for the year about $327;000,000.

Where the Trial 1* Being Held. day crowded with people, anxious to see the prisoner nnd take in every detail of the proceedings. Judge Helm nnd Sheriff Plummer de­ cided to admit only 200 sjicctators to the court room nt one time. Tickets are given out for each half dny, nnd no one will be given tickets twice during the trial. In thia way the sheriff hojx-s to dlucournge traffic in tickets, which, if placed on sale, would undoubtedly demand a high price. A theory which finds many supporters is that Jackson will take the stand and admit he was instrumental in bringing about Miss Bryan’s death; that he was a mutual friend of the victim nnd Will Wood, nnd thai’at their request he agreed to perform the operation nnd requested Walling to assist him. TWs they attempt­ ed to do nnd made a mistake which re­ sulted in death, but the crime was com­ mitted in Cincinnati,’and with n view to Quick to Act and Save many a Doctor's Bill. 200.000 WEAK MEN CURED!

Should the truth of this story be established a conviction in Kentucky could not stand. Thus there is a possi­ bility of the defendant escaping punish­ ment on technicalities, even though he be guilty. Witnesses were examined Saturday to establish the identity of (ho headless body found near Fort Thomas ns that of Pearl Bryan's and to prove that she wa* mur­ dered at the very spot where she was found. In the afternoon the defease be­ gan to cross-examine witnesses. The method pursued indicated the lines of defense; one that the iwdy was killed by some drug several hours before it wa* beheaded where it was found; also that all confessions of Jackson were made un­ der durance, were not voluntary and will be incompetent as evidence.

Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that jt is the one remedy which promutes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it nets. 11 is therefore all important, in order to get its bene­ ficial effects, to note when you pur­ chase. that you hare the genuine article, which is manufactured by the Cilifornis Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep­ utable druggists.

At balfjuxst 2 o’clock, without concluding debate on tbe bill, the House entered upon the special ordere-the delivery of eulogies on the late Representative William H. Crane of Texas. Then the House, a* a further mark of respect to the memory *1 the de­ ceased. adjourned until S o'clock. The debate on toe. adoption of a rule brought in by the Rules Committee in the House Monday for a vote on tbe Pickier general pension bill wa* rather sensa­ tional. though nothing wa* accomplished. The minority report on the Pacific Rail­ road bill was submitted to the House by Representative Hubbard of Missouri.

Tbe Semttejidjiotbinr [mportanct^ { ” The Senate v.al plunged ini o’ an excit­ ing financial debat? Tuesday, after sev­ eral week* of serene aud formal procedure on appropriation bi!.'*. The naval appro­ priation bill was under consideration, and the item of four battle ships, to cost an aggregate of $15,0(N;,00<». served as a text for a speech by Mr. Gorman pointing out that the revenue* of tbc Government are less than the receipts. Mr. Gorman'* statement* brought on a:: animated con­ troversy. in which Mr. Shermola Mr. Hale and Mr. Chandler joined issue* vitn the Maryland Senator a* to the responsi­ bility for the failure of tariff legislation in the present Congress. The House pass­ ed the Pickier general pension bill by a vote of 187 to 54. The section to which the bulk of the opitosltioa was directed provides that person* otheywisg entitled to pensions shall no. be disqualified on ac­ count of prior service in*the Confederate nrmy, provided they joined tbe Union forces ninety days before Lee’s surrender. Both House nud Senate spent Wednes­ day in debate of various measure*. Ab­ solutely nothing ot importance was done. Tbe gf?heral debate on the bankruptcy bill wa* continued and concluded in the House Thursday. Mr. Bailey of Texas gave notice that bo would offer a* a sub­ stitute hi* voluntary bankruptcy bill. The Senate *p«*Dt another day ou the naval appropriation bill without completing it. Mr. Gonnn'n further opposed the item of four battle ships and expressed the opin­ ion that the appropriations already made would consume the balance in the treas­ ury. A determination of the number of Imttle ships Im* not yet been readied. Mr. Chandler lias proposed substituting thirty large nnd fast torpedo gunboats for two of the battleships. .The bill wan iiasscd increasing the {tension of Brigadier Gen­ eral William Gross of the volunteer force* to $75 per month. The-Senate Friday discussed the naval appropriation bill. Mr. Gorman's amend­ ment reducing from four to two the num­ ber ot battle ships to be constructed was adopted in the Senate by a vote.of 31 to 27. The House again devoted the major portion of the day to debate on the Isinkruptcy bill. Several amendments were offered, but none were adopted.

Substantially' the name state of things exists in all the great in­ dustries. notwithstanding the strong com­ binations in some, and evidence of Inadezjaate consumption appears in the fact that the general range of prices for cornxnoditii-s—farm and mine as well ns man­ ufactured products—is nearly 1 per cent lower than it was April 1 nnd tho lowest wrer known, the decline since Octoistr, 1892. being lu.7 per cent." REBUILDING CRIPPLE CREEK. Portable Houses Being Rapidly Placed on the Fire-Scarred Lota.

Just now and for two months to eome medlum-slzed hats like that of tbe ini­ tial picture will be much worn. This one was sketched in fancy brown straw, nnd was somewhat on the En­ glish walking style, with a moderately high crown. It was trimmed with large rosettes of brown chiffon nnd pink crush roses. At the left side a large rosette of the chiffon fell over the brim, nnd tbe bat was further gar­ nished with a very full white aigrette. This is a size to select when It is desir­ ed that the spring hat shall last through the summer, being not too In-ge for the one purpose, nor too small for the other. Sailors this year, arc a little narrower at the back than nt the front. Tbe crown is often narrow aud high, and is usually bound by « band of ribbon as wide as the crown is high. In the case of this second pictured model, there is another tand a good deal narrower and made bigger round than the crown is, and this band is brilliant gold ribbon studded with jewels. This Is merely the start (or the hat. and one would hardly believe what a big bow could be put on. or of what wide ribbon It might be. It has many loops nnd a lot of ends, nnd. l>esldes all that, there is room for a pair or so of chrysanthemums, whose variegated fringe shows just a little In front, so bespread arc they over the tack of the hat. Some grass­ es or an aigrette or no complete the hat. except that you may put on n pair of bows against the hair to help fasten the tat in place if yon wish them. There Is a kind of demure girl who Is always too wise to attempt a dashing hat. The one fatal mistake this girl <an mak* is to make herself pro­ nouncedly stylish. To tell the trut’J, she is usually too smart, for all b?r demurlty, to make this mistake, a 3d no natter how many tho new styles, her own dear little tat is adjusted 30 that It does not lose the individuality ttat Is Its and her charm, and yet so that It does not seem to be “last year’s.” Her hat this year Is woven of very light wide chip, so thin ttat the straw re­ sulting from Its weaving seems feather­ weight, and the tat so woven i« soft nnd pliable. As seen by the next Illus­ tration the brim Is a little wider in front than at the skies and the back, and displays n drooping tendency that Is part of her demurlty. Turbans, like sailors, are never out of style. nnd this season milliners have accomplished the stunningly becoming effect of the Russian turban, with Its high crown straight up from the hair, no brim and only a flare of florae flair size, setting well down on tbe head, the hair turned away in a loose pompadout coming up loosely under tbe edge of the turban. The little boa.shown in this picture is mnde to match the’bat nnd is of n sort that milliners two dealing In al­ most exclusively. They are of closely woven leaves of silk from which nil stiffening is* omitted, but the coloring follows the coloring of the leaves used on the hat. The effect nlra^t the throat is comfortable, every bit ns becoming as Is fur or feather nnd not a bit warm. Such a boa nnd turban will serve cliarmlngly now, or whenever you ••are to wear It during the summer, and it will be delightfully suitable when fall comes. The bon, for that matter, may be worn in any season. in the final illustration behold the perennial, the ever-beautlful, tbe al­ ways new, the unfailingly alluring sail­ or. Each year the matron, each year a year older, says: “Now I am too old for a sailor." Then the sailor gets it­ self up In a new way. and tbe suave nnd insinuating milliner puts It on the matron’s bead, saying: "They are wearing sailors so much," You sigh, take a look, make up your mind that the year has, after all, made but very little difference, and the first thing you know you are trotting about top­ ped by a sailor bat. To be sure, the sailor this year Is prettier than ever. but theu it always is that, and so, too, it is always trimmed in many new ways. This, year It seems more than ever to make the oldish woman soem not so old. nnd yet not undignified by the attempt at dispensing with a year or two. aud it makes the young girl seem very prettily and simply a young choicest named- varieties, and in the whole lot there was but one that he deemed worthy enough to be preserved.

It was not long before other peach. growers learned of the good qualities of tbe Elberta and began to plant It: first In the Southern States, where It had al­ ready proved Its value beyond ques­ tion. and then in the northern pcecbgrowing sections. It has proved to be one the standards in all regions, from Georgia to Michigan, and from Connect*cut to California.—American Agriculturist. , The old saying that time is money is douUjL, true with, regard to fattening animals. There is no profit in slow fat­ tening of anything. The largest amount of nutritious food that can be digested and assimilated is always the most profitable for the fattening animal. The food required for maintenance of the animal to merely keep It in store condlpon Is just so much wasted if no more than this goes with IL This docs not mean that fattening animals arc to be given food without limit. That will Injure digestion, and then, no matter how liberal the feeding, tbe animal will not thrive. Old animals are generally fattened slov*ly. For this reason their flesh is tough.

In planting early potatoes there Is never any danger of making the soil too rich. It will rot late potatoes to manure very heavily, especially with stable manure. But the early crop b got out.of the soil soon after It is fully grown and before the time for rot to begin its work. One caution Is to be observed, however, in manuring even for early potatoes. Coarse, strawy manure or ttat which is apt to dry up .quickly should,never be plowed In for them. It will keep the soil above tbe furrow too dry, and this will often les­ sen the yield more than the fertilizing will inert-ase It. If the season b very wet t£e mhnure will heat and develop rot very early in the season, sometimes even before the potato crop b got out of tbe ground. A Practical Causeway. The usual method of building a causeway is to by down two rows of stone, to stretch fiat rocks across from one row to another, ard to corer the whole with earth. The two rows of stones soon work together, while brush and other rubbish will work in and clog the drain. A better plan is shown in the accompanying sketch, taken from the Orange Judd Former. A few slx-lncb drain tiles are laid down, and both ends are covered with wire netting. Tbe whole b then cov­ ered with earth to make the roadway. Such a drain cannot clog, nor can tbe CECIL Rhodes. generally condemns them. But strenuous efforts orc being made to prevent a •weeping condemnation of the authorities of Cape Colony and of the Britbh Char­ tered South Africa Company, other than individuals whose names are Included in the documentary evidence. The ixmdon Times in an editorial on the subject says: “It is impossible to ig­ nore the gravity of the conclusion to which the .published telegrams point They estnblisii beyond the possibility of a doubt that Hon. Cecil Rhodes, tho then premier of Cape Colony: Mr. Alfred Beit, a director in the British South Africa Company, and Mr. Rutherford Harris, secretary of the British South Africa' Company, were privy to the movement against Johannesburg, and that the lead­ ers of the movement counted upon their help aqd countenance to insure Its suc­ cess. “These tclegrnnu must be taken to prove that Mr. Rhodes approved tbe revo­ lution which was desired in Johannes­ burg, but nothing in the correspondence goes to show that the actual crossing of the frontier by Dr. Jameson, under the circumstances under which it eventually occurred, was known to Mr. Rhodes or carried out with his approval.

Almost anything spread thinly over grass lands tflll help them. Even ma­ terial not very rich and which itself will not grow a good crop will make tho grass grow better, because It acts as a mulch for tbe grass roots beneath. Tbe washings of poor uplands will fer­ tilise tbe richer soil of the valleys be­ low. But except where tapdressing can be thus done naturally by Irrigation, it will not pay to topdress with poor material. The labor will be too great, and It will trample and cut up tbe grass too much unless tbe fertilizing material Is put on during tbe winter. The following are homely remedies for neuralgia: Boll a handful of lobelia in half a pint of water, strain and add a teaspoonful of fine salt. Wring cloths out of the liquid, very hot, and apply till the pain ceases, changing as fast ns cold. Two largo tablespoon­ fuls of eau de Cologne and two tea­ spoonfuls of fine salt mixed in a bottle make an excellent mixture tb be In­ haled for facial neuralgia. Horae rad­ ish, prepared the same as for table, applied to tbe temple or wrist, is also recommended. Grow a small plot in horseradish. Simply place the roots on top of the ground and turn a furrow on them. They will grow and thrive without fur­ ther labor. A writer In an English paper asserts that only one steer out of every 200 shipped from tbe United States b lost, while from the River Platte from one to twenty-five and from Australia from one to over seven.

Deed of a Secret A«enL Nasr-cd-Din, the Shah of Persia, baa been slain at Teheran; and in the dipk*matid offices of the principal capital* ot Eurojx- there ia serious perturbation. Tbe tragic affair is pregnant with astoniahiak results. Once again England will surely have to fight n desperate diplomatic battle with Russia's czar for Asiatic territory. The story of tbe assassination, ns tele­ graphed from Teheran Friday afternoon, contained no bint of n widespread coaspiracy. It simply Minted that while tho shall was entering tbe Inner court of the. shrine of Shah Abdul Azlm, six miles south of Teheran, he was shot through tbc heart; that immediately he waa car­ ried to "h-s carriage ami in it conveyed to । tho palace; that there be was attended by Dr. Thuiegau. his chief physician, and other physicians who were hastily sene for. But iu spite of their combined efforta his majesty expired about 4 o'clock in tbe afternoon. The assassin wns arrested. At the Persian legation in London the opinion Is expressed thnt the murder was the deed of a fauatle and wns not the out­ come of any oqte-cially designed move­ ment. But according to a dispatch which has been received from Mt reterabnrg; the assassin wns a member of the Babi' secret society, a criminal associatioo which has hitherto made attempts upoa the shah's life with revolvers. It is known that the shah wns nrrang* ing for a great celebration of bis acces­ sion, nnd it np|>ears thnt the conspirators were determined thnt he should not live to enjoy the event. While in a general way Nns^-ed-Din was a humane and ■ progressive monarch, ns far an Asiatic rulers go. stii! his lore for money and foe jewob prompted many cruel acts of con­ fiscation and of barbarous punishment that made him thousands of ewmii*s in all classes of society. It is feared that Russian intrigue will bring about disorders in Persia. It is known that the dead monarch coveted Herat, nnd made a foray in its direction, but n repulse by tbe British brought him to his senses. Should the new ruler be tempted to make a nimilnr bellicose essay the results for al^ concerned would be extremely serious. Persia, Afghanistan.

He has been called “Silver Dick.” "Silver Dollar Bland,” “Bullionaire Biand” and other soubriquets indica­ tive of the interest he has taken in money matters, and coin.

It is rumored also that Preaident Kroger has received a personal cable dispatch from President Cleveland in reference to John Hays Hamilton. Many State Conventions.

Sound money was indorsed. The McKinley Republicans of Alabama have agreed to co-operate with the Ala­ bama Populists. The failure of the Mc­ Kinley faction to put up a sound money ticket is a disappointment to sound mone} Republicans. Tbe Michigan Democratic convention indorsed Cleveland nud sound money.

Some things may be token for granted, and among Them is the fact that women have always been attacked by the spring-cleaning madmem. PHny mentions the fact that in his day the Boman wives turned ,tbe|r hmtm-s upstde down for a week or two waler pretense of getting things clean, a»l It is quite probable that the fa­ mous picture in the catacombs of ■Egypt, representing a lot ,of bouseJwiil furniture in front of an Egyptian rrraidewo, is a record to tbe same effrrt. Archaeologists have dublx-d it “The spoils of war." and have Icarncdly argued ’hot -the enemy bad taken the household goods out for the puriswe carrying them away; but It Is morp •>lmn likely that some disgusted artist wfat* had been turned out by his wife during her attack,-took this method of perpetuating his indignation at the outrage on ilia domestic comfort and «hat tbe picture merely represents a aspri ng-clean ine 4.000 years ago. The antiquity of the malady is thus beyond doubt, and it Is equally certain that the disease now raging among the hxwwivm of this nnd every other city tbe Northern Hemisphere Is the *nnu> that has affilcted womankind from the earliest ages. It must be Bored, ns one of its symptoms, that It wpprant and runs Its enurae cpldeinlcwDj* throughout a neighborhood or without the slightest reference to ■tbe previous condition of the premises.

Although aware that the preliminary symptoms have appeared, tbe husband generally learns of the outbreak of the acute stage by looking out of the win­ dow one morning as he Is dressing and seeing a couple of American citizens of African descent sitting on the front steps. An inqulty as to the purpose of their presenci? at once arouses the lively Interest of bls wife, who promptly goes into a state of mind because she told them to come to-morrow, instead of to­ day, and nothing Is ready for them. "But. as they are here, they may as well go to work," and so they do. and breakfast is eaten In trembling haste and with occasional puffs of dust conquering hero. and climbs the stairs ten times an hour and gets in every­ body's way a mJ. tells everybody what to do. and says she feels like her back would break nnd declares her bend is splitting, and knows she is going to have a spell as soon ns this is over. "It’s simply awful, but it’s got to be done, for If we didn’t clean, what would the neighbors think,'* an argu­ ment simply unanswerable. So she scolds her way from cellar to garret, and bemoans her fate and tells the servants she does not really know what they are good for anyhow. She even works her way Into the yard where the spading and planting and sodding and whitewashing are going forwardunder the auspices of a choice corps of men nnd brethren, and gives them to understand that what they are doing must be done in a different way from the way they are doing it. Tbe fact that she knows nothing nt all about how it ought to be done cuts no figure, nnd they may feel morally sure that to follow her directions would spoil the job. but they are quite accustonied to tills sort of thing, so they show thel^ Ivories in broad nnd pleasant smiles, respond with a mechanical "Yessum," and go ahead with the work exactly as they were doing It before, in confident assurance that she will never know the difference. • But. however pleasantly they may smile, their hearts are full of wrath, for house-cleaning is provocative of more rnge and profanity than any other occupation on the enrth. Every­ body engaged in it, from the scrub wo­ man who uses so much water that it spoils the wiling beneath, to the muster of the house, who eats his breakfast on a table covered with the flotsam and jetsam of the household furniture and comes home nt noon to find that he is compelled to sit In the yard. Every­ body quarrels with his nearest neigh- lx»r. and the Idea of the unity and har­ mony of lnlx>r,'ls shivered into frag­ ments by the experience of n spring cleaning. The Congoesc who 16 doing the spading Is always ready to pull his razor'on the Zulu who is whitewashing tbe side fence, the difficulty commonly arising from the enrth being scattered on the newly spread whitewash, this IS SWEETEST OF ALL. defacement of bls job being keenly re­ sented by the knight of the brush. The tinner nnd the painter Invariably fall out. for Hie latter always wants to work on that side of tbe house which the former has chosen for the scene of his laliora; the two ladders come In con­ flict, nnd much hiugunge unfit for pub­ lication Is shed. Sometimes the shed­ ding extends also to the paint, for after affairs bliv<? reached a climax, and the blackguarding has arrived at a point where tbe painter has In-en outdone, he catches up a brush from a jiot of red paint and throws It at the tinner. Of course it hits him Just under the ear and spatters all over his neck, and. equally of course, he gratis a red-hot Iron from his furnace and takes after the painter, who flocs while the tinner pursues, giving the impression of a man with his throat cut seeking ven­ geance on the murderer.

The natural enemy of tbe paperhang­ er Is the carpenter. * No matter Where the paper-hanger goe* to hang paper, thither also goro tbe carpenter, for in every room where paper Is to l>e hung, by some ^singular fatality, there is either a door to be repaired, or a win? dow out of joint, or a wrufliboard that needs to come up and be put down again. And the paperhnnger always wants the door abut Just at the time the carpenter wants it open, or the carpenter always wants to work at the washboard Just after the paper man has moved his bench to that side of the room, or the mnn of rolls and paste de­ sires to paste and spread above the window that the carpenter Is Just about to take out. so the mistress of tbe es­ tablishment Is kept in a constant panic lest one should brain tbe other, which would be Just terrible, you know, be­ sides mussing tbe door. Side Issues are constantly arising. The mnn who Is doing the plastering always walks over the floor that has Just been scrubbed; of course he could not walk anywhere else; be would go half a block ottf of his way to leave the tracks of his limy broganson that new­ ly cleansed surface, and when he is scolded for his carelessness. revenges himself by swearing nt the man who is putting In a new gas pipe, who, in turn, curses the plumber for laying n water pipe so as to compel an extra turn in the gas conduit. Tbe women who scrub grumble at the cook who does not bent the water hot enougb for their use. and so it goes on. the whole house being filled with cursing nnd bitterness until the calamity is overpast. The only participants who really en­ joy their Job are the carjx’t Ix’nters. this exception arising from tbe fact that after the carpets arc taken up. they must be transported out of tbe neighborhood to lx? beaten. Carpet beaters, like detectives, always work In couples, and why one should always be short and stout nnd the other tall and thin Is one of the mysteries of na­ ture nnd bousccicanlng. By removing their Impedimenta from the Immediate vicinity of the engagement, the carpet beateni escape contact with the other combatants and are enabled to l>eat the carpets Into holes in comparative peace. This Is an advantage which they appreciate; Hint Is. if an Idea of their appreciation of the Job may be gained from the noise 'they make at It, for a couple of carpet cleaners. In good health nnd with a carpet that can stand the blows, are able to give n very suc­ cessful Imitation of n bombardment. Their trouble comes when the carpets nre brought back nnd the housewife gazes on the fissures that gape along every seam, but the experienced lieater Is never worried by such n trifle ns the feelings of a carpet owner: If he did, he would not lie fit for his business, so he listens with patience, sews up the rips as well-ns he can. and relays the carpet In calm confidence that next spring he will be again called on to l>cnt the same earpet Into the sathe fragments and listen to the same lan­ guage about It. It Is not of record that the experts on mental disease have as yd given any special attention to the housecleaning manta ns a form of Insanity, but husixinds and other interested persons may hope that In time It may receive some measure of professional notice nnd that measures may be adopted for its alleviation If It be finally found In­ curable. Perhaps. when tbe millen­ nium comes carpet* will not need l>eatIng and floors will remain forever free from dust, nnd even If this hope should prove futile, the "House with Many Mansions" will need no repairs and there Is no mention made of carpets in any of its numerous apartments. There the housewife will cease from troubling about the cleaning and tbe carpet beater will be nt rest. - The Coinage Question.

She was known to the police as the "Queen of the Forty Thieves," and for years she conducted her operations so skill­ fully that sbe hsa Invariably escaped Imprisonment. The charge on which she was recently sentenced was for kidnaping a child. Polly has associated with bad char­ acters ever since she was 12 year* old. when she was first arrested on a charge of theft. She soon became one of the most expert pickpockets In the west end of London. Next she turned her attention tq blackmailing, and bo successful was she *t this calling -that her profits never fell much abort of $200 a week. Her .favorite scheme was to waylay elderly 'gentlemen on their way home early In the morning and ask them for the price of cab fare, saying that nomeonc had stolen her pocketbook. Her good looks and Inno­ cent expression would soften the heart of the wayfarer, and she rarely failed of a victim. The dupe would ask tha pleasure of accompanying her to. the cab, which Invitation was always 1ccepted.

Augur, of Connecticut, writing !u the American Agriculturist. Kirs; My me .to believe tbit Early Dwarf Ad­ am* corn will.give lietter result* than any flint variety. This corn wasfirat brought to my at­ tention thlrty-flte year* ago. a sam­ ple being sent me from Michigan, under the name of ••Squaw” corn. It was recommended as an extra-early table variety, it lias been Improve I by yeers of careful selection, until ! now I think It h.i* l no superior for | either the extreme lhe Early Plan led Potatoes. Potatoes will grow at n much low&r temperature than corn: but It is none the less a mistake for the early.plant­ ing to put the sets in deeply while, the ground Is cold and wet. Cut potatoes thus planted rot very easily.' For all early planting we should use whole potatoes, cutting out all but two or three of the most vigorous eyes. Thia will make a much stronger growth than the whole seed not thus prepared. Three Inches is deep enough to plant on heavy ground, though after the soil ha* been wanned to greater depth, potatoes will do best If planted four and a-half to flve inches deep. Such potatoes frill nut need to be hilled to keep the crop from grooving out of the ground, and the deep planting Is also to some extent a means of preventing the rot. which, as it comes from spores bred ou the po­ tato leaf, is most apt to attack the tu­ bers nearest the surface. north or tbe ex­ treme south, an its early ripening ___ _ ..... ...IV ...» "“k™ 11 <x>kx-h ■!«> of c«r.

Testing Heed Corn. icore are every year so many com­ plaints and losses from poor seed corn that tbe only safe way Is to test it by planting some under cover, nnd In a 'moderately warm place. This Is not Itgjff a test of how many seeds will grow when planted In the open ground, but it will at least show whether the seed has retained its vitality, nnd un­ der favoring conditions can be expect­ ed to make a crop. Knowing that his seen can be depended op. the farmer can Im? saveu the loss'sure io occur if be .puts in more seed than is needed with the expectation that some will not grow. This loss is most serious of all. for the seed with little vitality usually makes a weakly growth, nnd the Clum­ ber of plants In a hill makes It Impos­ sible that any of them shall produce more than nubbins. The Garden n Help to Good Elvina. . The fa Fiber's garden is nut only the best payinc piece of land on tbe farm, but It Is tbe one that If managed as it should be, best shows what advanta­ ges farm life may offer. It is not cred­ itable to farmers that the residents of <clties and villages are able to secure cheaply better supplies of fresh garden, vegetables than cad tbe fanner. It ought not to be so. Even in tbe matter of earliness, It la within the power of the farmer with a good greenhouse to •compete for his own table with the market gardener, even In the winter and early spring. But If he does not care to go to this ex|»en*e, he will lie Inexcusable If be does not provide an abundant variety of everything that can be grown in the garden In the open air. If the farmer was obliged, as his wife Is. to provide the material three times a day for wholesome and palata­ ble meals, hr would pay more attention to the garden than he does. In any well-ordered family tbe garden ought to furnish half of what Is eaten during the summer nnd full months, nnd the half that will certainly give the great­ est plensare to unperverted tastes and apiwtlU*. . New Whifffetree. A rig that beats them all for threehorse plowing, is shown by Farm .and Home. The advantages are: Tbe team is close to the plow and the plow brain needs but very little shifting when us­ ing a two-horse or a three-horse team. Fasten a standard 18 Inches loug at right angles up and down to the end of tbe plow beam. It may be of wood or iron. Put a single tree at the upper end of the standard for the middle horse and a two-borne tree to the lower end for the outside horse*. The stand­ ard must have 12 Inches above and U Inches below tbe plow beam to equalba­ the draft between the middle nnd the two outside horses. To measure the right length the evener. place tbe three single trees in line on a work bench. Let tbe middle tree lap 3 inches over inside ends of outside single trees. Cut the evener Just long enough and you will have a compact rig. Sellins 1'oiinit Plkb. There is no quicker way to get mon­ ey In pork than to keep a few breeding sows and sell their pigs when ready to wean or soon after. There is always a good demand for such pigs and at considerably more than their pork val­ ue. It Is known by everybody that the young pig makes more growth with the same feed than It Will nt any later period of Its life. But the seller of the pig gets the advantage of this without being at any expense to care for and feed the animal. Therefore his profit Is greater than that of tbe man who buys from him.

The only method by which you can secure her co-operation in tbe making ot this sort of gown is to suggest very deli­ cately that you know a dressmaker does not like to make a tailor finish gown, and that you hope she will not mind your going for that particular gown to------& Co., who make a special­ ty of tlirft sort of thing. She will be­ come dreadful severe at once, but you must not lose courage. She will say that she can make as good a tailor gown as nny man ever did, but don't you •TBirren challie, with whitb bilk BLOUSE. weaken; pretend you dop’t want to bother her and then go away.

If she said she was going to give you a plain skirt and she gives you one with a ruffle around the bottom jjpu keep still and don't lift up the ruffle. After all. what Is one dress compared to the good will of the arbiter of your fortunes and finances, and that Is what your dressmaker is. If you want a cape you had better leave It entirely to her. There is noth­ ing a dressmaker likes to experiment on so much as a cape. Give her a general idea of what you want, in­ duce her to promise that she will not give you one or two things thM you really don’t want, and then go borne and pray. It was a cape’ of the sort pictured here that a woman got when she bought goods enough to make a cape that would reach to the knee. But tbe Tyrant said that all the rest of the material was In the appHquo design that was all over the cape. It was a pretty cape, though, so the wise victim said that and nothing more.

Three thousand people were in tbe hall when the great quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was called, to order by the venerable Bishop Bowman at Cleveland. Ou the floor were white men and black men, the delegates from cold Norway nnd Sweden nnd from tropical India and Japan. Nearly every country on the globe was represented. Central Armory looked beautiful indeed. Its interior was brilliant as tbe hall of a political convention, and on all aides there was an expectancy that issues of impor­ tance were about to be precipitated. The 'Bible used in the services is the one which was used by Jahn Wooley fa his study ia England. This historical treasure was presented to the conference some years ago. . The notable feature of tbe opening of the conference was tbe reading of an ad­ dress of the bishops. This may be said to be the notable feature of all general con­ ferences of tbe church, for tbe reason that it is fraught with many suggestions with reference to church polity and em­ bodies a comprehensive resume of tbs progress of the organization, financially and spiritually. Tbe strong features of tbe address of the bishops this year were the recommendations with regard to the duties of Christian citizenship, the dec­ laration in favor of a national-'divorcs law, n denunciation of the Armenian atro­ cities and a pronouncement in favor of arbitration fa labor and fa International disputes. Another significant feature ol the address is tne portion which favors the maintenance of tbe itinerant system except in rare cast's. This will be a dis­ appointment to a majority of the clergy­ men, wbo bad hoped that tbe polity of tb« church would be changes to that congre­ gations might have greater authority fa tbe matter of retaining ministers wbo ap­ pear to be particularly adapted to a spe­ cial fielu. Many questions of supreme Importance to the denomination, action upon which will be awaited with intense interest by Methodists the world over, will be acted upon during tbd month's session of tbs general conference. Chief among these is the question of admitting women dele­ gates. This issue has been voted upon by all the annual conferences, but the neces­ sary three-fourths vote has not been se-> cured, tbe total rote being 7,515 for ad­ mission and 2,529 against. The women have therefore lost by eighteen votes, and a change of ten votes would give them scats in tbe conference. Four wom­ en delegates are accredited to tbe present gathering, but ns the committee on cre­ dentials must.be governed by the existing rules, they cannot be recognized to take nny part-In the proceedings. Tbe proposi­ tion to change the basis of ministerial representation from one delegate for every forty-five mirflsters to one for every sixtyfiye hns also been lost. The question of abolishing the time limit is also an im­ portant one. At present no minister of tbe church can remain pastor oj one church for more than fire consecutive fears. Th|s if bazei oa tie old itinerant theory o? the denomination, and it is now proposed to abolish tbe time limit It is doubtful, however, whether the proposltoln will carry. An effort will be made to modify the ru.es of discipline adopted by the conference of 1872 against dancing, card playing, theater going, attending cir­ cuses and horse'races or patronizing danc­ ing schools.

BILL FOR BANKRUPTS House Passes Long Pending: Measure that Interests Trade. The House, after fire days of debate, passed tHe Hcudhcrson bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy, by a vote of 157 to 9L The majority in favor of the bill was greater than was anticipated, owing largely to the fact that quite a num­ ber of members, who desired only a vol­ untary bankruptcy bill, after being de­ feated, voted for the measure as reported. The bill, as passed, ia based upon ths Torrey bankruptcy bill, which has been urged before Congress for several year*. It provides for both voluntary and invol­ untary bankruptcy. Under its terms there are eight acta for which a debtor can be forced into Involuntary bankrupt­ cy. as follows: THE BHA.H OF PKRSIA. 1. If a person has concealed himsalf was born in 1833.

Tale of the Hori or. ■• At 7:45 Monday evening a terrific ex­ plosion occurred in Louis Fey’s saloon al Ufacitmuti, O., immediately opposite tbe Gibson bouse. The building, u five-story brick, was shattered to splinters. Fey manufactured his own gas with a ma­ chine from gasoline. A large tank filled with .the explosive fluid was fa the room In the rear of the’saloon. In addltkfa a barrel of gasoline was being unloaded al the time. Au-electric motor furnished the power. The motor was operated at too hijfh a rate of speed, causing the com­ mutator to burn out. This ignited the gasoline, causing the explosion. It Is al­ most certain that nt least twenty persons were killed. A fair estimate places ths Dumber caught in the falling building al from sixty to seventy-five. At least twen­ ty-five people, and poriiai>* more, the ex­ act number may never be known, wort mangled, crushed, burned and scalded tc death. Bodies of Adolph Drach'a fam­ ily of four, and four unknown, were quick­ ly recovered. Three of the Fey family, two servant girls, and three men employes wore missing. Twenty-five injured were removed to the hospital, two of whom will die. The exploalon shook large buildings foi squares. Hundreds of windows in ths Gibson House were broken and plate glass windows on both aides of Walnut streel the entire length of the square were shat­ tered. Scores of pedestrians were knock­ ed from their feet nnd there wore dozens of runaway teams in the viefaity. Sever­ al electric cars were thrown from ths track nnd nt least twenty female passen­ gers <»n different cars fainted away and wore carried fato the Gibson House and Adjoining places. . The electric light, tele­ graph, telepboifl? and trolley wires on ths square were torn down and the explosion was followed immediately by darkness. Whole Building Destroyed. Flash lights were riggod up across ths street and the rays thrown onto the ruins. The explosion tore the entire structure from between adjoining buildings on either side as neatly aa it could have been accomplished by workmen. All that is now’left is a mass of-brick, mortar and torn lumber, over which the.roof rests in a slanting position. It was occupied by Fey’s nnd Drnch’s saloons, both of ths better class. It is estimated that forty □r fifty people were inside nt the time of the explosion, ami it seems impossible that any could have escaped. The firemen beat a path fato the ad­ joining barter shop and began drilling hole?* *hrough the thick brick wall in the hoj>c of reaching some of the bodies. Hie heavy roof lying over the ruins made it impoaslbte for the firemen to make any headway from the top or sides. The apper floors of the five-story build­ ing were occupied as flats. It ia not known how many jicople were in tbe flats or how many were in the saloons, but none es­ caped. as the building immediately col­ lapsed. There was no fire to consume the ruins and make certain death of all in the building, but the dust and dirt continued flying for a long time so dense­ ly thig. the work of rescuing the victims proceedf-d with great difficulty. Hia Whole Family Gone. One of the barkeepers, who was not on duty nt the time and escaped, lived in □ne of the upper flats, and wns wild with grief because he knew that his wife and four children were In the ruins. One of his children was recovered. dead soon after the explosion. As the night passed the scenes about the wrecked buildings became more dis­ tressing than ever. Women whose hus­ bands and sons had not reached home by 10 or 11 o’clock came down to the Foun­ tain square ami filled up the space about the government building, where they were weeping nnd crying about their friends being ia the wreekrge. . Dcpnrtnijnt« nt Work. All of the departments of tbe city were at work at the rufaa. The police commis­ sioners were in charge of their depart­ ment, together with Chief Deitsch, and the fire commisaioners were with Chief Archil>ald. The street cleaning depart­ ment was out in full force, at work re­ moving the debris and hauling it away.and good engineers were soon on hand auperfatending the handling of the heavy timbers. Crowded with People. The explosion occurred«at a time in tbe evening when there wore many ]»cople fa lhe bar, nna it was said soon after the ex­ plosion that a number of women and their escorts had just entered. They were probably in the wine rooms fa the rear of the bar. The street wns well filled with pedestrians and it Is almost certain that many of them were fatally injured. Stand­ ing almost in front of the building when the explosion occurred was a Newport and Covington car. It was completely wrecked and tbe half-dozen paascugers and the motorman and conductor were more or less severely injured. Panic in the Gibson Honac. There were several hundred guests in the Giteon House and-they all tecams panic-stricken. Men and women rushed from their rooms, the latter shrieking with terror and scveraLof them-fainting. The guests of the house who were in the lobby, barter shop and waiting-room wore knocked down by the shock. It seemed to tRrn’ «" though the explosion was in the hotel building and. not knowing at what moment it would be followed by another, they rushed from the hotel, add­ ing to the panic in the street. Wreck a* Liberty, Neb. At 3 o’dock Monday morning train 63, fast freight on the Burlington, going west, ran into a washout, near Liberty, Neb. The engine and three cars were wrecked. Two trainmen were killed and several injured. Engineer Brcnnnn was crusbeil te twern the engine and tender. Conductor Wilcox, who was in the engine cab at thv time of the wreck, wns badly mauglrd, one leg being torn from his body a«d ths other badly crushed. He expired in a few minutes after being extricated from the wreck. The fireman was thrown from the cab window and escaped uninjured, with the exception of slight bruise*, as at the time of the wreck the train was running very slowly, having orders to do so on account of the heavy rainfall.

In a few well-choaen words he proclaimed his in­ nocence of any murder. Including that for whleh he was convicted and hguged. He declared that the only wrong-doing in the taking of human life for which be could be held responsible consisted fa the deatfa of two women who bad died aa the reaufa of criminal operations at bis bands. He did not name those victims. Holmes spent the greater part of hia last night on earth writing letters. At midnight he went to bed and slept sound­ ly. until 6 o'clock in the morning. It took two calls to awaken him. Promptly aris­ ing he received a visit from his spiritual advisers. Fathers Daly umd Macpeak, of the Church of the Annunciation. They administered the last sacrament and did not leave him until nearly 9 o’clock. Dur­ ing their absence he ate a hearty break­ fast ot eggs, dry toast and coffee. At 10X/2 o’clock the Sheriff called to­ gether the official jury, and after each man had answered to his natpe and sub­ scribed to the certificate the solemn march to the gallows was begun. As the gathering stoixl in intense silence before the gallows Holmes, accompanied by the two priests mounted the fatal scaffold. A moment of prayer elapsed and then Holmes stopped to the front of the scaf­ fold and, resting his hands on tbe rail before him, made bis statement of inno­ cence. * It was received in absolute silence-.

Newtown, Flush­ ing, Jamaica and part of the town of Hempstead. This territory embraces a population ot over 3,009,000. The bill establishes a commission, to consist of Andrew H. Green and Mayor Strong of New Y’ork, Mayor Wurstor of Brooklyn, Mayor Gleason of Long Island City, State Engineer Adams. Attorney General Han­ cock and nine other persons to be selected by the Governor, who shall be msMuts of the Greater New York territory. This commission is to prepare a charter for ths great municipality and submit it to the Legislature before Feb. 1. 1897, with such bills as will, upon their proper ennetment.make Greater New York nn established fact. Meanwhile, and until Jan. 1, 189S. the local administration and government of the several cities, towns nnd villages to be embraced in tbe enlarged munici­ pality shall remain nnchnnged.

Pumpkins and cucumbers will grow everywhere, but there seems to be a prejudice or conviction among many that melons are difficult to grow. On tbe contrary, they can be grown ns easily us any of the vine vegetables. Insects are their worst enemies, but are not troublesome after tbe vines have started to run.

Melons like a warm, rno'st. sandy OY gravelly loam, though musk­ melons will grow in a heavier soil than watermelons, but the flavor is best when grown on lighter land. The main secret In melon culture ’» to start tbe plants, early. Muskmelons should be planted 4x6 feet and water­ melons SxlO feet apart. They should bo cultivated as long as possible and will cover the whole ground nt these distances. Tbe land should be heavily fertilized with good manure, and a liberal handful ot fertilizer hoed In around each hill. Big melons nnd lots of them do not grow where plant food Is scarce.

Experiments show, however, that where the disease appears most frequently Is on farms where the bogs arc Inbred and confined too closely to a grain diet. Feeding slop of a filthy kind Is also a cause. To avoid the dis­ ease feed the hogs on a variety of food, making grass an article of diet, giro clean water, and procure new males every year. • Effective Sprayins. Smith Hakwley, of Michigan, In a lec­ ture before the horticultural society of that Stittc, said that the picture so often seen in agricultural papers of a man standing on a wagon and throw­ ing spray Into apple trees as he wns drawn along Is a delusion. To do thor­ ough work one must go all about a tree nnd throw spray upou it from every direction. When this work Is properly done the trees will retain their foliage until the snow falls and will produce much fruit on off years. Insect Destruction Prevented. Gardeners are often pestered by small Insects eating young plants. To prevent the destruction, nail two halfhoops-together at the center and sharp­ en the ends.

He brought with • • •• him a small amount of property, his wife, his oldest son, Hiram, n young man of 23; three daughters nnd the twins.

The following year the father wns kill­ ed by a falling tree nnd then the support of the mother nnd sisters devolved upon the three boys, nnd the twins did not try to got out from under their share of the burden. Hiram bought a l,OQO-acre tract of timber land with two small mills on it, and with the assistance of the twins, then about 15 yenrs old, cut n million feet of lumber the first year and rafted it to 3rand Haven to be sold. The second year Hiram returned to the old mill to work on contract nnd the twins operated the two small mills, which the brothers own­ ed.

There passed through Nashville yes­ terday morning a special train of pal­ lace cars containing tbe most remark­ able collection of actors ever assem­ bled In one company. It was the all­ star cast now touring tbe United States In a revival of Sheridan’s “Rivals.-' The cast of the play Is as follows: Bob AcresJoseph Jefferson Sir Anthony Absolute... Win, FI Crane Sir Lucius □’Trigger, Nat C. Goodwin David. .................................. Francis Wilson Captain AbsoluteRobert Taber Faulkland.......................... Joseph Holland FagE. M. Holland Mrs. MalapropMrs. John Drew Lydia Languish, Julia Marlowe Taber LucyFannie Rice This astonishing company of play­ ers, each one a star of the first magni­ tude, was assembled only after many months of bard work on Tbe part of the manager. Each player was of course engaged with his own company, and, as all are most successful, had engagements to the very •end o( the theatrical season. But the matter was arranged chiefly because the brilliant idea of such re­ markable and historic production tired the imagination of the players who were approached. ’ The company Is giving thirty perfor­ mances In the principal cities of the country, and after the 30th of May will disband and each one again take up their respective companies. MOST STUPENDOUS OF AMUSE­ MENT ENTERPRISES. Adam Forepaugh and Bells Bro- Mr. J. A. Bailey, sole owner of the Great Adam Forepaugh Show, has just concluded arrangements with Messrs. Ephraim, Lewis and Peter Sells, by which the show known us ’Sells Brothers' Enormous Railroad Shows’ Is consolidated with the Fore­ paugh Show, thus making the new aggregation one of the most powerful in the world.” The potent lai arenic proprietors rep­ resented in the above named enter­ prise—and they are men of great wealth and enviable standing—have but one definite purpose in view, and that Is to give a great deal more for the money than has ever before been attempted; believing that the result will be such an increase in patronage, yvitbout any advance in prices, us will amply justlTV the really titanic ex­ periment. Every other show in tbe country will be permitted to go its way unmolested and unnoticed. If great influences and effects resultthey will come from inevitable popular comparison, and those who tempt must abide the consequence. Under the arrangements made the Adam Forepaugh-Sells Brothers cousulldatlon will be the only one of the whole world's greatest shows to visit Grand Rapids and it will appear there on Monday next, May 25th. Each of the big enterprises of which it is com­ prised is both, locally and nationally famous for Including the rarest wild beasts, the finest and most abundant hiilpodroiuatic and circus talent, and the most- wondrous, startling and novel features procurable from every quarter of the globe. The wild beast collections Include the only two herds of peforming elephants, and the big­ gest ones; the only educated sea lions and seals, and they are wonderfully entertaining: the only pair of giant hippopotami; the only two horned Su­ matra rhinoceros, monster polar bear, niger antelope, gnu. eland, flock of ostriches, and far and away the big­ gest lions and tigersand most singular creatures ever exhibited. The distin­ guished male and female racing,arenic and fun-making talent Is recruited from every quarter of the globe, and appears in a hundred acts and rival­ ries, requiring four rings, two elevated stages and a maze of aerial appliances. TbeTperfonning animals are numer­ ous, varied and admirable, and the morning. street parade a massing of the spectacular splendors, open dens, hundreds of splendid horses, droves of wild beasts, and other pageant pos­ sessions, of the two biggest shows. It goes without saying that everybody will be eager to see such a display and such a performance.

When he •went out of the court house on his way home, the out*-anne.l soldier was waiting for him, and he stopped with an impatient air to hear what he had to say.

It was the morning of Memorial day. Billy was covering a grave with wild flowers. The grave was over in a corner, by it­ self. and new made. "What hero lies here, my boy?" • Billy turned about at sound of the pleas­ ant voice. “ ’Tain’t no hero. It’s only Steenie!" "Oh. I thought you must be decorating some brave soldier's grave!” “No, Stccnie wa'n't no soger. But ev’ryonc else was puttin' posies onto their graves, 'n I didn't want mine to be the on'y one 'tho.ut any. 'Sides Stccnie liked 'cm so!" "Who was Steenie?" "Steenie! W'y, he was my pard.

His whole expression was a menace to the man who stood trembling la-fore him. But when his strange companion with a sud­ den swift motion caught him by the throat. Shields made no resistance, nnd the other holding him thus n moment, threw him off contemptuously. “Tell me to my fare- I am dead," sneer­ ed the soldier with livid lips, “you who robbed me of the den rest thing I had in lift—and of life itself! Assassin! She. too, is dead—perhaps you killed her?" “Hurst." said Shields, wiping the drops of ghastly fear from his pallid face. "If you are indeed a living man. listen to me. It may be some satisfaction to you to know that Mabel never loved me. al­ though she was my wife. She died with your name on her lips. She believed J^>u dead, nnd kept your grave green with her tears." "Say that again!" cried the soldier. "Oh, my God, it pays Io hare l>cen dead nnd buried all these years, to know that after nil she wns true. I had it in my mind to kill you; yes, I meant it when I had tny hand at your throdtr but those words have raved you!

But I honestly be­ lieved that you were dead—that it was your shattered form I brought from the battlefield and nurietl up yonder.” “That gave you a right to lore Mabel?" “No"—Shields hung his bead in bitter grief and sname—“1—I hod tried to win tier before that, but she would not listen to me—she never would have listened, but for your death—and, Hurst, that knowiedge killed her. hne was my wife in name, but her heart was witn you." The soldier lifted his shabby cap with Spirit between Although St he horrors of war are the more conspicuous where the conflict is between brothers ami the struggle is a long and desperate one, the evidence?* are numerous that, underneath the passion and bitterness o. our civil war, then* were counter currents of kindly feeling, a spirit of genuine friendliness |tervadiag the opl>o«ing camps. 1 his friendliness was something deeper than the expression of mere human instinct; the combatants felt that they were indeed brothers.

Under favorable condi­ tions, It Is one of the most luxuriantgrowing grasses ' known. It Is not, however, as Its popular name would lead one to supiK>se, a species of millet, but re­ sembles in appear­ ance and character the sorghums more l han tbe millets. Its botanical name Is Pcnnlstcum splcatum. A most re­ markable record of the luxuriant growth of this plant has been given by the late Peter Henderson, as fol­ lows: “Determined to give Pearl mil­ let a thorough trial. I prepared a piece of good ground, as If for a root crop, by manuring pt tbe rate of 12 or 15 tons to tlie acre, plowing deeply and tarrowing. The reed was sown in drills 20 Inches apart, at the rate of four or five pounds to the acre. The seed was sown about the middle of May. When the plants wore up, a cult tlvator was run through tbe rows, and the growth became so rapid that no further culture was necessary. The first cutting was made forty-five days after sowing; It was seven f6et high, and covered* the whole ground. The crqp. cut three inches above tlft? grouqd. weighed as cut at the rate of 30 tons per acre; dried. G’<- tons i»or acre. The second growth, cut forty-live days from the time of the first cutting, was nine feet high, and weighed at'the rate of 55 tons to the acre fresh, equal to eight tons dried. The last growth started rapidly, but the, enol weather retarded it. so that the last catting only weighed 10 tons and IU tons dried. The total yield wns 05 tons green fodder In 135 days, equal to 1G tons of buy."

In estimating tbe profits of the dairy too little regard is paid to the value o' the skim milk as feed for pigs, calves and |>oultry. It is so well adapted to all these kinds of stock that when used in connection with other feed, as it al­ ways should be, tbe skim milk will be worth much more than it can be If fed alone. Milk is Dot a perfect ration. Il contains too much bulk for its .nutri­ tion, and that nutrition is more largely nitrogenous than it need to be for profitable feeding. This makes It much more valuable for feeding with grain of all kinds, and especially with cqrn, in which carbonaceous nutriment is greatly in excess. With plenty of skim milk young pigs can eat and digest an amount of meal that would stunt their growth if given alone. But probably the best use of skim milk Is as feed for hens. For this purpose it Is best made into curd, arid most of its whey squeez­ ed out of IL If the milk is given, only enough should be offered at one time that the fowls will drlpk, for If It stands In vessels these soon become sour and offensive. Brassing After Plowing. In all cases the harrow should follow the plow as quickly as possible after the furrow has been turned. This will compact the soil, pressing the furrow down and leaving less air space l»etween it nnd the soil below. If the soil is dry enough to be plowed at all it does not* need more drying after plowing. Rather the attempt from tbe first should be to save all the moisture In tbe coil, knowing that it will all lie needed dur­ ing the growing season. It,often Imp­ pens that after plowing several «lajs of dry weather follow. If the furrow is left rough and tilted in air. it will dry out so .that the germination of any grain sown or planted iu It will be de­ layed. The sketch herewith shows a simple contrivance.

No bird of prey has the gift of song. The smallest humming bird weighs 20 grains. Wild birds do not sing more than eight or ten weeks in the year. All birds that live on seeds are fur­ nished with strong gizzards. A frigate bird can fly an entire week without stopping to rest. The eyes of birds that fly by night are generally about double the size of day birds’. The muscles of the mocking bird’s larnyx are larger in proportion to the size of the bin! than those of any other creature. The leaders of a flock of migrating wild geese become tired sooner than the others, and ore frequently relieved by their fellows. There is a hen in San Francisco that builds her home in a willow tree, and lives there like an ordinary tree-nest­ ing bird.

An ounce of good gelatin is always sufficient to a quart of liquid for any dessert. ■ • A pinch of salt added to the white of eggs will make them beat up quicker and lighter. Three ounces of sugar are sufficient to every quart of milk for custards of any kind. White meated game should be very well cooked, while dark meats should be served rare. Never use too much flavoring of any kind in baking, especially cinnamon or almond extract. Keep tho soup kettle always tightly covered lest the. aroma of the soup escape with the steam. All fresh fruit should be mixed with sugar before Alling in pies. A kittle but­ ter increases the delicacy.

RESULT OF USING AYER’S PILLS •‘Ayer’s Cathartic Pills for over thirty years have kept me in good health, never having had a sick day in all that time. Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually—as a result of con­ stipation — from dyspepsia, headaches, neuralgia, or bolls and other eruptive diseases. When I became convinced Is it True? That4one paint will cover more surface than another paint, if both are mixed to the same consistency? It will compare be hard for any one to make you believe it Now, " the following: 100 pounds of Masury’s white or colored lead costs 6 gallons of pure linseed oil costs Making 10 gallons of paint cost $6.00 3.00 $9.00 Now, a ready-mixed paint will cost you $15,.00 for 1<> gallons. There’s a difference of ^6.00. We guarantee Masury's paints to be as good in every way as any paint made, and the manufacturers stand be­ hind us. If any body tells you different, they tell what is. not true. That’s plain, isn’t it? Will you save that $6.oo ? that nlno-tenths of ray troubles were caused by constipation.

The American manufacturers, foreseeing a1 grout de­ mand for wheels, not only purchased all of the stock of steel tubing on hand in England, but gave orders that engaged’the output of many of the factories for u long time to come, and so it happened when the •‘crane’’ struck England the British • bicycle makers found they bail been caught napping and wen* short of mate­ rial. Immediately then? was u rush to start up new steel tube plants, and so many have been projected that overpro­ duction is feared in the end. but’ mean­ while there is a stringency. To show the extent of the increased export of this tub­ ing to tbe United States, the consul says that, while the entire exjiort for 1894 was $85,899, that for the first quarter of this year amounts already to $231,290. trade fairly rxisk.

There Is nothing exciting in the speculative market for ex|*ortable pro­ ducts, ami the stories about damage to wheat tore been nnmer.’us. but the gen­ eral hellef regarding the future supply is fairly reflected in the decline of 1.112 cents per bushel.

European Crop Outlook. The foreign statiiffTcs gathered by the Agricultural Department show the crop conditions throughout the year. Tbe sum­ mary follows: Great Britain—The crop outlook everywhere is good and promises n harvest about two weeks earlier than usual. This would diminish the inijtorts for the remainder of the current cereal yenr by about {*,000.000 bushels. France —With normal weather until harvest the wheat crop will more than suffice fur home requirements. A snrplua for export is confidently predicted by French agri­ cultural journals ami statisticians, sume expecting that it will amount tu 40,(M»0,(hm) bushels. This qnautlty would affect prices, especially if the French Govern­ ment should pay n bounty on cxiwrta. Austria-Hungary—The weather has been favorable and the crops promise well. Roumanin—Cold weather in April retard­ ed the crops, but the outlook is generally promising. Russia—Excellent prospects of a crop store the average in quantity and quality are generally reported. The unfavorable March weather in the south is found to have done no serious damage. Spring sowings have been completed un­ der good conditions. To Inhabit Arnold's Cottaae.

A de­ bate on tbe question of ajq>ropriation* for sectarian purjaisra cropped out on the par­ agraph making appropriations for chari­ ties in tbe district.

The most im­ portant business transacted<:n the House was the passage by the overwhelming vote of 193 to 26 of the Bnrthiddt-McCali immigration bill, as modified by the Cor­ liss luncndiuent. The Stone consular in­ spection bill, offered as a substitute, waz defeated ».i to 131. The House Thursday pasted the Hoov­ er pension bill over the I’rraident’s veto, by a vote of 106 to 47.

The hollowness of the fraud wns strik­ ing:.'' exhibit? I when, a few week* mt". Secretary Murton proposed to furnish to each member of Congress 1.000 pack­ ages, every one of which should contain one large paper of big pens or corn and fourteen palters of small seeds. This raised a row right away, because the logislntors said that l.()00 packages would not go around among their constituents. They obliged rhe Secretary to divide the seeds into packages of five papers, so us to give 5.00) to each Congressman. It was made clear to them that the pack­ ages of five pn;wrs each would be too small to be of any practical use, but that objection was ignored. It was not di­ sired that the seeds should be -useful to the fanners and other people, but that they should serve the political ends of the Congressmen. Accordingly. the order was changed at a ,ea*t of alsrnt $000 for the additional number of envelopes em­ ployed. Not Enough to B«?of Scr.vlcc. The law prescribes that the seeds shall 1st of •‘rare and uncommon varieties." But the Congressmen will have nothing but ordinary garden and field seeds, rang­ ing from nasturtium, and pansy to corn •and pens. Each package contains five little papers of seeds, amounting in nil to about two-thirds of an ounce. ami con­ sisting of two-tenths of an ounce of cab­ bage act'd. two-tcr.tlis of an ounce of cucumber seed, throe-tenths of an ounce of squash seed, three-tenths of an ounce of turnip s-cd nnd leas, than one-tenth of an outlet? of tomato Need. This is ns much ns any Individual gets from the much-advertised distribution of free s«s-d by Congress. It is for this that the Government is luiyiug out $80,000 this year, without counting tbe cost of sending the |tncj(.tges by mail. The co«t of such n package to Uncle Sum. includ­ ing tbe envolujHu nnd printing, is 3-7c. The actual exia*nse of delivering it by man is 4c in addition. For this expendi­ ture the farmer receives n little gift which he could parehnre nt the country store for from one to three cents.

Tho seed contracts enforced by Congress call this year for 10.125,000 papers of seel, costing flic Government $73,000. to which must be added $80,000 for postal oxpens«-s__J n other words, the so-called "free s*v*d” this~ year will cost the pt*ople of the country nearly $163,000, besides injuring the lexitimale v«e l trade to an extent represent­ ing an equal amount. The distribution is made In ottier, aa n member of Congress aaid during the recent discussion, to show ,the poor toiling farmer at home that Un­ cle Sam remembers him and desires to assist him lit his struggle for existence— to the extent, forsooth! of three-quarters of an ounce of sen!*. which he must in the end pay for himself. Congress has Increased the appropriation for the wwl ■distribution for next year so as to make -possible the purchase of nbout twice as much seed as will be distributed this year. The recent fight iu Congress hns attracted so much attention to the seed distribution that applications for free seed have great­ ly inrrensed in numlier. Tbe distribution of seeds by tho Govern­ ment la-gnn in 1830 with the appropria­ tion of $1,000. which was given to the pat­ ent office for the purpose of collecting and giving away rare and improved varie­ ties. Since that date, with tbe aid of steadily increasing sums of money, fprBtsh<*d by Congress annually, every seed that could be found anywhere offering a reaMinnb’.e prospect of usefulness in nny part of the country has been purchased nnd liberally distributed. People all over the United States have already secured nearly all of the vegetable nnd field seeds, plants and trees that uro adapted to their peculiar soils and climates.

Another par­ tial reirnrt on the Indian uppropriatton bill which left only the question of sectarian schools and the old raft lets’ claim* stHl in dispute, was adopted. Tariff and finance each came in for a share of consideration in tbe Senate. Early in the day Mr. Sherman succeeded in having the filled cheese bill taken up, whereupon Mr. Du­ bois offered an amendment adding 73 cent* a barrel to the tax ou beer. .On tbe question of adopting the amendment the debate became general. Senators Mill* and Gray supporting ami Nelson, Aldrich nnd Vilas opposing it. 'Die bill wa* dbplaced by the liond blit which wn* advo­ cated by Mr. Pritchard and opjioacd by Mr. Lindsay. A bill was passed to pen­ sion. nt $75 a month, the widow of Gen. George E. Bpeucet. at one time United States Senator from Alnbdma. The Senate Wednesday defeated tbe proposition to increase the beer tax 75 centf per barrel by the rote of 34 to 27.

The vote wn* close, but the friends of the claims carried the day—111 to 97. All interest In tbe House proceedings was overshadowed- by the St. Loui* hor­ ror. A resolution wa* passed directing the Secretary'of Wnr to place at tbe dis­ posal of the Mayors of the stricken citie* a sufficient number of tents to provide for the temporary necessities of the bomelera nnd to render such aid a* might be in hi* power. Mr. Barthold, of St. Loub, who saw Secretary Lamont, said there were eight or ten Iwata used in the Mirairaippi river improvement which might be able tu render assistance, nnd these will be or­ dered tn the scene of the disaster if neces«nry. When the House resolution was recelvetl in the Senate authorizing tho Secretary of War to loan tent* and ren­ der »ii<I to the Mayors of St. Iwub and East St. Loub Mr. Palmer. Of Illinob, asked immediate consideration. Mr. Vest, of Missouri, interposed tbe suggestion that whljp it-might seem ungracious for him to interpose objection, yet, in view of late reiwrt* showing the usual exng-4 go ration attending the first hours of ca­ lamity be did -not consider thh action necessary. The people ot St. Loub, he said, could take care of themselves, nnd, although the resolution could do no barm, yet he deprecated the tendency to rush impulsively to Federal source* for relief. Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, ssid he fully sympathized with thb view, although the resolution. Iieing here, it should be acted on. and made joint instead of concurrent. Mr. (.'ulloni, of Illinois, said he felt from the latest reports that there was no occa­ sion for the passage of the relief resolu­ tion, nud that the respective States would l«c able to take care of their people on both sides of the river. Yet. as the House had noted. Mr. Cullom urged that the Sen­ ate should give it* assent. He added that he wa* still in donbt and worried over the situation on tbe lllinoir side. The resolution wn* amended to be joint Instead of concurrent, thus requiring presentation to the President, and wna then adoj>ted. The House Inter agreed to the Senate amendment, which make* the resolution joint instead of concurrent. The Joy res­ olution for the relief of the St. Louis sufferer* reached the President nt 5 o’clock and wa* signed by him ten minute* inter. In the Senate Friday tbe bills repealing the law relating to rebate* on alcohol used iu tlie art*, and amending the law concerning the dbtilling of brandy from frnit* were passed. The latter author­ izes the exemption of dbtillers of brandy made from fruits from the provisions re­ lating to the mnnufucture of spirits, ex­ cept ns to’the tax thereon.

Johnston's partisan^ were outvot­ ed—105 to 03, and 103 to 93—the first vote betas on the minority resolution declaring Johnston entitled to a seat, the second on the majority resolution declaring him not entitled to it.

The one hundred and eighth general as­ sembly of the Northern Presbyterian Church opened at Saratoga. N. Y., in the First Presbyterian Church, where so many previous assemblies have met. Tbe opening sermon wt» delivered by Rev. Dr. Robert Ruiiell Booth, of New York, the retiring' moderator, on the subject of •‘Christian Union and Denominational Loyalty." The text was taken from the gospel of St. John xvii.. 20 and 21. In closing. Dr. Booth spoke of tho misun­ derstandings and conflicts which have di­ vided the church and hindered its work. He deprecated any work or act which might aggravate present troubles, nnd said: "It may be a dream; it may. be a delusion; but, speaking, ns it were, for the last time in aueh'a place of public au­ thority, I appeal to the sound Christian sense of the venerable assembly to take some proper measures to ascertain what it is that divides us, and what is requirtue EMrr.non cnowxtxo uts wjfe. then replaced the crown upon his own head. His majesty afterward took up the crown of the Empress nnd placed it on the head of her majesty. ■ Her majesty’s imperial mantle nnd the collar of the Order of St. Andrew were next presented with the same ceremony. This done, her majesty took her scat on the throne, while the Emperor again took tho scepter in his right band nnd tbe globe in his left. The archdeacon next proclaimed the imperial title in extenso nnd intoned the verses: “Domine, salvum fnc imperatorcm." and “Domino, salvam fnc imperatrieem,” followed.by the “Ad tuultos aunos," which the choir repeated three times. -. After the chanting tbe bells of the ca­ thedral nnd of nil the other sacred edi­ fices throughout Moscow were rung nnd a salute of 101 cannon shots was fired. ed for the abatement of strife and a rec­ onciliation of parties nt variance.” The first important business transacted was the election of a moderator. Dr. Francis C. Monfort, of Cincinnati; Dr. David It. Breed, of Pittrburg, and Dr. John L. Withrow, of Chicago, were nom­ inated. The result of the ballot was: Withrow. 815; Breed, 163; Monfort, 84. The election was then made unanimous. The usual reports were presented. The report of the committee on denomination­ al missionary periodical showed success­ ful operation during the year in spite of a slight decrease in circulation. A state­ ment of the relations between the indi­ vidual societies and the church won pre­ sented. in which it was asserted: "This assembly recognizes.ns under the jurisdic­ tion of .the church all young people’s re­ ligious organizations of every name which are to be found within Its churches or composed of the members of its churches. In general these societies nre to be organ­ ized and to work in conformity with the historic portion of the church, ns ex­ pressed by her standards and interpreted by her courts.” A report which called forth a wnrm dis­ cussion related to Sabbath observance, and was presented by Elder William.R. Worrell, of New York. The report de­ nounced all work on Sunday, various theo­ ries of individual liberty, excursions. ball games, bicycle riding, lax views of tho Sabbath, social entertainment nnd the Sunday newspaper. Christian people wore scored for their lox observance of Sunday.

Sims Reeves Is hard on what be calls the “vicious encore system.” He cluiractprizes It as a preposterous piece of dishonesty, of which all honest per­ sons should l»c ashamed. Tho nuisance, he says rightly, seeks to take a shabby advantage of the suffering profession­ al; and it is to be regretted that few of our performcm possess sufficient cour­ age to return to the platform, bow po­ litely. and Indicate firmly. No! Your encore monger cares nothing about symmetry, or balance, or cohesiveness, whether the occasion be the lyric stage, the oratorio performance, the benefit and ordinary concert or the itallad con­ cert. He wants to hear more than Ho has bargained for, and if his demand Is not yielded to he will hoot and bray nnd hints, when an attempt is made to per­ form the next piece, ns If he belonged to the loug-enri*d tjundrapeds or feath­ ered biped trite*.

CROWNING OF THE CZAR. —London Graphic. metropolitan of St.'Petersburg mounted: the steps of the throne, placed himself in front of the Emperor nnd invited his ma­ jesty to make, before his faithful sub­ jects, aud m n loud voice, his profession of orthodox faith and presented him with the open book from which the Emperor recited the symbol of the faith. After this the jfc-tropolitan of St. Petersburg pronounced: “Gratia Splritus, sancti sit semper tecum. Amen." The Emperor arose, and, taking off the collar of the Order of St. Andrew, ordered that tbe Imperial maatle. with the collar, in diamonds, of thnt order, be presented to him. They were presented on cush­ ions by the metropolitans of 8L Peters­ burg nnd Kteff. who also assisted Ills ma­ jesty to put on the mantle. The metro­ politan of St. Petersburg then pronounced the words: “In nomine patrhi ct filii et spirit us sanetl. Amen." . The monarch then called upon her ma­ jesty the Empress Alexandra Feodorovnn to approach, and she knelt before him on the committee on platform, reported the platform. Planks denunciatory of tbe liquor traffic and proposing straightout prohibition, be said, had been unanimous­ ly adopted. Another plank, which de­ clared thnt no citizen should be denied the right to vote on account of sex, he said, bad been adopted by only a small majority. Still other planks upon which The metropolitan and all present knelt and, hi the name of tbe nation, offered up prayers to the Almighty. Tbe Imperial Manifesto. The Czar’s manifesto, issued upon the occasion of his coronation, remits all ar­ rears of taxation in European Russia nud Poland, reduce the land tax by one-half for ten years nnd remits or reduces all fines, quash<M all petty convictions involv­ ing imprisonment or fines up to 300 rubles, with the exception of persons sen­ tenced for robbery, embezzlement, usury, extortion, fraudulent bankruptcy or ottenses against honor. The manifesto prescribe* that nil ex­ iles in Siberia, after twelve years’ exile In the remoter parts, be.’ after ten years, allowed to choose their place of residence, except in capital cities and government*, but their civil rights will not be restored. Exiled criminals have a third of their sen­ tences remitted, life sentences are com­ muted to twenty years and many ether punishments arc lightened. Everything Completed Save Paintins and Patting in Chair*. • In a week’s time tbe Chicago Coliseum, where the Democratic convention is to be held, will bo practically finished. Seventy-tive painters nre at work, and. with the exception of mounting and distributing lhe 10,000 chairs, theirs is almost the only uncompleted task about the build­ ing. The arena in the center of the building, the dimensions of which nre 150 x430 feet, will be merely leveled off for Buffalo Bill’s purposes. A flooring in sections has been constructed and can be put in place in a few hours. For the nrtionul Democratic convention the build­ in,, will be divided into two sections by the means of a partition bung with bunt­ ing and anticmal emblems. Th* conven­ tion hall will occupy the northern half of the building. There will be seating room for 14,000 persona, and the wide prome­ nade gallery running around the building can either be used as such or be occupied by seats. The southern half of Che build­ ing will be devoted to lobby rooms and di­ vided into committee rooms, retiring quarters, a place for refreshments, eta. there waa some division in the commlttew referred to Sabbath observance, non-sectarisn schools, election of President, Vice­ President nnd Senators by popular vote, literal pension*, immigration, naturaliza­ tion. labor arbitration and co-operation with other parties favoring these views. After a motion to adopt the report had been made ex-Governor St. John offered a minority report. He was applauded by the broad gauge delegates, nnd especially when be read the silver plank. It con­ cluded: * “We demand the full and cnlimited coinage of both silver and jjold at a ratio, of 16 to 1, without consulting Any other not ion." Mr. St John no sooner moved that the minority report be added to that of the majority of the com* mittee than the storm broke In all its fury. Scores of del­ egates wanted the floor. Motions fol­ lowed each other iu rapid succession. The •‘narrows’’ pro­ tested aud the “broads’’ urged the adoption of the mo- r-x-ovv. st. jonx. t;on. Mr. Castle, of Pittsburg, moved that it be tabled. The chair called for *. viva voce vote. Getting it, hC declared the motion to table had carried. Several hundred throats united in one mighty protest and a yell for a division. On the call of the roll 802 votes were cast an<T the brond-gnugers had a majority of 182. The silvorltes bad then gained one point, but the great battle was yet to come. The minority report having been added to the other, tbe platform was taken up for consideration plank by plank. When Mr. St. John’s 1(5 to 1 plunk was reach­ ed both sides exerted their fall strength. The Western silverites fought with bull­ dog tenacity nnd hung on until the last vote wn* taken. When they saw they had lost by forty votes many sulked nnd said they would secede. Substitute Adopted. When the vote was announced. R. H. Patton, of Illinois, jumped in with a sub­ stitute platform for the other. ft* princi­ pal plank declares it but right to leave every prohibitionist the freedom of hia own conscience upon ;>oliticai questions other than that of prohibition. It was read and adopted by a rising vote. Mrs. Helen M.,Gougnr vainly attempted save the woman suffrage plank. After the substitute had been adopted the af­ ternoon session closed iu the wildest con­ fusion. Only one candidate other than Mr. Levering was named—ex-Oov. Hughe*, of Arizona—and his name was afterward withdrawn by request and Mr. Lever­ ing’* nomination made by acclamation. A committee escorted the nominee to the platform amid shouts nnd cheers. . J&Sring this time the radical silver men .left the hall to organize their own con­ " vention. In the convention of bolters it was decided to appoint n committee to visit the nation*^ Democratic. Republi­ can and Populist conventions and invite nil dissatisfied persons to unite with the new party. Telegraphic Brevities.

On October 28, 1895, Charles Woloott, an American aeronaut, made a balloon-ascension in tbe town of \ era de Cura, in Venezuela. When the balloon was between 3,000 and 3,500 feet above ^he earth Mr. Wolcott jumped out with his parachute. The parachute did not open until he was within 200 feet of the ground. When it opened it split in two, checking bis fall but slightly, and be alighted with fore enough to have killed most men. Instead of dying of the accident, bowever, Wolcott lived, and, although nearly every Joint in his frame was dislocated and miny of hl* bones were broken, he Is expected by physicians to recover, and he has signed a contract to make a balloon ascension and parachute leap on August 31. Wolcolt Is In SL Luke’s Hospital, where he was taken from a Venezuela steam­ er on May 8. Wolcott Is a native of Louisiana, where his father before the civil war was a wealthy planter. During the four years of fighting the family lost everything, and In 1864, when Woleott ' was born, it was a foregone conclusion that be would be obliged to work for allying. He was of an adventurous turn Of mind, and an athelete. Following his natural bent he drifted Into the show business, and when about 15 years old he Joined G. G. Grady’s wag­ on circus, a famous one ring cpucern in its time. He performed on the trapeze and as a bare back rider. Later he Joined Sbelld's circus, the Sells Brothers and the original Fore­ paugh show. He was 18 years old . when he made bls first balloon ascen­ sion, and up to the time he made it he knew but little about the business. The circus with which Wolcott was travelling bad aruoag its attractions an aeronaut, who, one day in the sum­ mer of 1882, fell in a trial trip and was killed. The act was an important one. and tbe managers of the snow did not want to disapjxjlnt the spectators, They asked all the performers to vol­ unteer. but as no one came forward they were obliged to make a personal selection. They decided on Wolcott, and, although be bung back at first, he finally consented to make the trip. He found that be could manage the balloon and the parachute, and from that time he has been ________________________ Tbe crowd had seen him fall, and before he had been on the ground long it ran up to him.

His life wab saved by tbe arrival of a troop of cavalrymen, whe forced their way through tbe crowd and formed Ina square around the In­ jured aeronaut. As the people crowd­ ed up the cavalrymen charged them. They rode their horses directly over Wolcott’s body, thinking that tbe homes would not step on him. Up to that time he bad not lost a drop of blood, but be received a slight cut on 'tbe side of tbe bead from one of the horses. When the cavalrymen had driven back the crowd Wolcott was put upon ' ;a stretcher and carried to a hut, where be I was laid on the earth floor. He isuffered Intensely In the chest and Ihead, and bis body and legs were par­ ialyzed from the waist. He knew not 1tbe EXTENT OF IDS INJURIES.

During the winter mouths there Is comparatively little business for balloonists in tbe United States, and, at the conclusion uf last summer’s season, Wolcott made up hls mind to go to South America. He de­ cided to try Venezuela first, and on October 15 be sailed from New York. He reached La Guayra 10 days after and found an engagement awaiting him for October 28, the anniversary of Bolivar’s birth, which is observed’as a holiday In Venezuela. He was wanted HrVera de Cura, a town in the Interior, and he arranged to leave for there at once. He went by rail to Cagua, and then overland for 16 leagues to tbe tdwn where he was to perform. He arrived there on tbe 27th, and the next morning he prepared for his ascent. W olcott had engaged an assistant In this country, but the man failed to appear at the steamer, and the aero­ naut was obliged to sail without him. He engaged a man Cura to help him, but as the South American knew nothing about a balloon Wolcott was obliged to do most uf the work him­ self. A balloon bad 'never been seen in the district before, and a great crowd gathered to witness the ascen­ sion. The balloon was to go up in tbe afternoon, and as it necessary to fill It wlthbniair.it was laid out on the ground early In the day. To it tbe erachtite was attached, with a ipeze for tbe performer. Wolcott gave strict orders that no one should be allowed to touch bis ap­ paratus, but the ANXIETY OF THE PEOPLE To see the flying machine was so great that they pushed the guards aside and crowded about In spite of Wolcott’s! efforts to keep them away, the people tramped on hls parachute, examined tbe ropes, felt the silk bag and gener­ ally made themselves acquainted with the strange object. The result was that the ropes became entangled, and, unknown to W’olcutt, bin parachute was disabled. Thinking that every­ thing was in proper condition, he pre­ pared to ascend shortly before sun­ down. The ascent was like 100 others the aeronaut made. He went up on tbe; trapeze, and the balloon, which was a big one, capable of carrying two pas­’ sengers, rose 3,000 feet In six or eight minutes. When this height was reached Wolcott prepared to descend on the parachute. He waited to steady himself, and then pulled tbe cord that disconnected the two machines. The parachute fell straight down, and, Instead of opening within 300 or 400 feet, lu tangled cords held it closed. Wolcott realized that some­ thing was wrong, and he tugged at tbe ropes, trying to release the cover­ ing. Working as fast as be could he was not able to undo tbe kinks for several seconds, and ali the time the parachute, with him at the bottom, was gaining speed. Finally, when the earth was only 200 feet away, the silk top spread, but he was going so fast that the air spilt it In a half dozen places. The opening of the parachute cnacKXD TH. SPXD> Only a trifle, and Woleott fell on tbe ground In ajheap._». When he knew that be could not ex­ pect much from the parachute, Wop COULD BE TREATED. Wolcott's guard got him to tbe rail­ road at 9 o’clock on the morning of the 30th. Four hours later he started in a freight car to Caracas. The trip took 12 hours. When he.arrlved there the Secretary of War gave him a spe­ cial permit to enter the hospital, and two policemen carried him there on a stretcher. Nothing could be done for him that night, and be passed another sleepless 12 hours, making in all 62 hours which he had not slept. About 9 o’clock on the morning of the 31st the physicians and surgeons ar­ rived to examine him. Anesthetics were administered to him, and be sank Into a stupor In which remained for three days. His condition was pitiable. Several bones in each foot were broken. Both ankles were dislocated, as were both knees and both hips. The pelvis aud left arm were fractured, ana the rite on the left side were torn from tbe spine, the vertebrae of which were dis­ located on a line with tbe hip bones, and slightly cracked, according to the diagnosis of the doctors. The physi­ cians set to work to repair the Injur­ ies. • They reduced every dislocation ex­ cept that of tbe right hip Joint, which Is stll|.out.

On May 2 Wolcott decided to come to Uris country, In order to avoid the South American rainy season. The American minister, Mr. Thomas, helped him in every way, and he reached this country safely. Bergley Balch had arranged for him to enter SL Luke’s, where he Is now. Unger the care of the hospital staff he Is gradually regaining the use of hls legs. He can move one quite fre­ quently and the other slightly now. His right hip Is still dislocated, and his spine is not straight. Possibly neither will ever regain its natural form. Wolcott has no doubt but that he will be able to return to bls work this fall and has signed contracts for performances, the first to be given on August 31 at Sherbrook, Province of Quebec. He expects to be able to do his trapeze performance and says he thinks be will be able to stay in the business for 14 years more. He Is cheerful and hopeful, and does not re­ gard his accident as a calamity, as it taught him to be careful.—New York Sun. HIS BEASON.

Sbe leaves one son, Casper L. Bowen, tbe supervisor of .Maple Grove township. She was the last member of the'Duuhaiu family of nine children, of whom she was tbe youngest. Mrs. Bowen was a grand good woman, who was universally loved and respected by nit who knew her; was one of the first school teachers of Kalamo township, and many of the old residents of this part of lhe county remember Iler as their first ins! rnc’or.

Over 2.000 people, including many per•naages of high rank, were trampled to death in Moncow. The catastrophe ocearn’d at a public frost, which had been tvread in’the Hodynsky* Plain, iu front of tbe Petrovsky Palace, in honor of the coronation of the Czar. The disaster oc­ curred between S and (5 o’clock in the morning. It w*s intruded that the ban­ quet should commence before noon..but tbe immense throng which had gathered around the sheds where the liquor mugs were to be presented and the food distrib­ uted became so dense that the attendant* were overpowered nnd thrown to the ground in the mad struggles whiclf commencejl for food nud thy gifts, and many of these attendants bring numbered among tbe dead. The police made des­ perate attempts to control the people, but all their efforts were futile, and men. women nnd children were trampled upon by hundreds. . > Some terrible, heartrending scenes were witnessed among the survivors who were seeking relatives among the victims. The latter wore mostly peasants, nnd few of them have a* yet been identified. They were lying in heaps, ns they had been ex­ tricated during the afternoon, their chnshed, blood-stained and horribly distorted faces upturned in the scorching sun. Gray* haired men and women lay alougside chil­ dren und sturdy men, nil crushed as If beneath heavy rollers. Among the (lead were ladies evidently of high rank dressed iu fine silk and adorned with rich jewels. Cause of tbe Disaster. The disaster, it is now explained, won due mainly to the absence of. the police, who had not arrived nt ;•> early an hour in the morning at the acene where the fes­ tivities were scheduled to take place. Fully 200,000 persons of all grades of society had gathered! tin the Hodynsky plain nt the time the disaster occurred. Only 1.000 attendant* were in charge, and they seemed to be unable to control tbe moh. Hoping to lessen tbe pressure of the as­ sembled hundreds of thousands, all mov­ ing toward a common center, they tossed tiie packages and presents into the midst of the crowd. This seemingly precipitat­ ed the panic, since n scramble to obtain |ko*scs81on of the gifts ensued, aud the hollow piece cf ground near the center formed n death trap for thousands. No Halt in Festivities. The following evening the Cznr and Czarina attended and danced at the bril­ liant ball nt tho French embassy. Prepn rat ions had boon made on n most elab­ orate scale for this boll, and it is asserted that *70,000 was expended on the supper nlonc, rare viands nnd delicious fruits nnd vegetables being brought from the most distant climes to add to the delights of the feast, while France furnished the costliest and most elegant fabrics and furniture to set off the beauties of the pal­ ace Where tbe embassy is lodged. THE CHICAGO ROAD RACE. Won by O. P. Nelson, a Wheelman Practically Unknown. When tbe Gotha and Huns and Vandals swept down upon Rome, bent upon sack­ ing the mistress of the world, they did not come with more terrific fury than the band < 30G wheelmen who swooped down upon Chicago’s west park system like n flock of hawks upon n swarm of nestlings nt the wind-up of the annual Decoration Day road race. It was a great run over a muddy road of a little less than twenty­ fire miles in length. Over 100,000 men. tor Blackbtfru us the party's presidential nominee, with “aUvcr Dick" Bland uf Missouri as tbe probable second choice. These two facts were decided .upon in the white metal delegates thus bound the del­ egation to Chicago with a unit rule. The silver men were so thoroughly seated in the saddle uf favor that they rode rough shod over the administration men. Tbe only concession to the latter was aban­ donment ' of the plan to reject the two sound money national delegates chosen from the Fifth or Louisville district. This concession is only upon the surface, how­ ever, for tbe unit rule necessarily disfran­ chises them of tbe right to vote according to their convictions. The action taken had lx?en long fonween by political pro­ pbeta Radical sliver men wanted the committee on credentiab to unseat enough delegates from the Louisville dbtrict te give the while metal faction control there, but the adoption of the unit rule rendered this unnecessary. Senator Blackburn,nhe present idol ot Kentucky silver Democrats; P. Wat -Hardin, who Inst November as the party gubernatorial nominee on a white metal platform, led Kentucky Democrats to their first defeat; John S. Rhea, nn able stump-speaker, and W. T. Ellis, abo known ns an efficient campaigner, were elected as delcgntcs-at-large, with Robert W. Nebon, J. Morton Rothwell, Theo­ dore F. Hallam nnd John D. Carroll as alternate*. J. P. Tarvin nnd W. B. Smith were nominated for presidential clectorvat-lnrgc. They nre all earnest advocates of free coinage. Joseph Clay Stiles Blackourn, candi­ date of the Kentucky Democracy for the presidency of the United States, is a na­ tive son of Kentucky. Hls father was a breeder of thoroughbreds, but Joseph, took to tbe law. He spent two years in Chicago and returned to the South in 1SGO. He was an elector on the Breckin­ ridge and I^»ne ticket, joined the army, went to Arkansas and planted ctrtton, re­ turned to hls home and l>ecame a leghla-' tor, went to Congress and became a Sen* ator.

Well, there was a game of ball. About twenty people aside from the team drove from Nashville to Grand Ledge to see the game, and still others rode over on their wheels, and none ot them had any reason to regret goIdK.. The Greys were on their mettle that day, and on the way over to tbe Ledge they made preparations to win that game. When they arrived at Grand Ledge and found that they had to face Verstay of Grand Rapids, one of the crack amateur pitchers of tbe state, they merely gritted their teeth. When they learned that Joe Ganzel, a professional catcher and a good one. was to support Verstay a cold chill went Up their spinal column, but they set their teeth the firmer. They had come to Grand Ledge after that game, and they intended to have It. The Grand Ledge people had great confidence in their team and before our team arrived it was even money that they would shut our boys out without a run. It was late when we arrived at Grand Ledge, and the boys ate their dinner, scrambled Into their uniforms and got out ready to march to tbe grounds. As soon as they made their appearance on the streets all talk of a shut out stopped and theLedgites began to wonder if it wouldn’t* be a firetty even thing after all. A very ight crowd followed tbe paradv over to the grounds, and among tbe au­ dience was a noticeable sprinkling of Nashville people, with the “Little German Band” of Lake Odessa, who met ttie team at Mulliken and accom­ panied the boys into Grand Ledge, furnishing sweet music for the pa­ rade.

He stopped at second to see where it went, then on to third and was caught Just at the plate while trying to stretch In into a home run, which It would have been If he had not stopped at second to lo­ cate the ball. The crack M. C, R. B. team of Jack­ son, who defeated the Nashville team 6 to 4 on Decoration day last year, will be here tomorrow afternoon to meet the Greys.

If the stomach is sour, and the liver torpid, and- the bowels constipated, the skin will show it No use trying to treat the skin for such a condition. The only wav to relieve it is to cleanse the sys­ tem ana purify the blood. As long os the heart is pumping impurities to every part 6f tbe body, just so long these impurities will show through the skin. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is good for the completion because it makes the whole body healthy—because it clears and purifies the blood, makes the digestion strong and jHekni out imparities of all kinds. By increasing the ability to assimilate nutritious food, and fry the in­ fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches the blood and so makes tolid, healthy flesh. It fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink­ les and substitutes for aallowness a rosy; healthy glow. There is no mystery about it It isn't a miracle. It is merely the re­ sult of a combtnation of rational, natural common sense with expert medical knowl­ edge. It cures diseases of the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply because all these diseases spring fiom the same cause—a disordered digestion and consequent impure blood. Doni let preju­ dice and scepticism cheat you out 01 your health. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis­ covery will positively cure you, if suffering from diseases named above.

Advance sheets of Auditor General Turner’s annual report for the your end­ ing June 30, 1895, are given to the news­ papers. In the opening paragraph of the re­ port the Auditor General states that the tax law of 1893, with the amendments of 1803, have more than fulfilled the expec­ tations of the framers. At the present time. It is said, many old taxes are being paid and the lists of delinquent taxes nre growing less. In the opinion-of the Audi­ tor General tbe refusal of the Governor to sign the clearance sale law passed by the la«t Legislature has contributed mate­ rially to this result, and waved tbe State nearly a quarter of a million of dollars. The Auditor is greatly antagonistic to clearance sales; aud be discusses tbe sub­ ject at considerable length. “A few facts, not heretofore published,” it is said, “but w’hicb wore gathered from the records of this department on ibe request of several members of. the legislature during the session recently closed, will show tbe re­ sult of tbe clearance sales heretofore pro­ vided for. Seven such sales have been authorized and held, nnd from tbe entire number the sum of §63.450.25 wns real­ ized, while during the five month! pre­ ceding the compilation of these data, §03,244.80 was received for sales from tbe State ta^ bind list in the ordinary course of business under the general tax law of 1893. The seven clearance sales left but comparatively few descriptions upon which the accumulated taxes might be recovvreil by later sales, while in five months of the ordinary course of collecI tions by sale of State tnx lands,'§30,000 more was received than from the seven clearance sales, and over 100,000 descrip­ tions remained upon tbe list, and sales therefrom arc being constantly made. Tbe nctual result of each of the clear­ ance sales referred to was: $2,596.0) Sale of 1869, proceeds Sale of 1870, proceeds . Sale of 1871. proceeds . l.<u3JI9 1.50&39 Sale of 1872, proceeds . 1,470.99 Sale of 1873. proceeds . 3.0S3.30 Sale of 1874. proceeds . Sale ot 1S81, proceeds .

In many counties nu report was made of were made were fatally defective, and in others reports were made in some years nnd omitted in others. “The sale of December, 1893, and all subsequent sales were reported io all counties on uniform blanks. It will be fetn that under tbe role adopted no deeds under section 127 would issue for lands in nay county until after the sale of 1894. After that sale wns mode and reported, action was further deferred to await the conclusion of the legislative session of 1895, at which an important amendment to section 127. defining the term '‘aban­ doned’’ as-applied to State tax lands, was adopted. Actions will now be taken un­ der sections 127-1^4 in nil counties where ths sales of 18SKi and subsequent years have been properly roi»ortcd, and it is predieted that it will mnlt in a material abbreviation of tbe list of State tnx lands. In many counties, however, action will not be taken, fur the reason before stated, until after the tax sale of the pres­ ent calendar year, while in others no lands will be deemed subject to section 127 until after tbe sale to be holdcn in 1S9G. I do not understand that it is claimed thut the deeding under the section named will give tbe State nny title that it docs not already possess, but rather that its purpose is to remove the lands from the tax rolls until homesteaders acquire full title, and to place n record of the State’s title (uiider which homesteaders will hold) n|»on the land records of the counties where the lands so deeded are situated.” . Several provisions of the general char­ ter laws for cities nnd villages are said to be inconsistent with tbe terms of the general tax law and should be amended by the next Legislature. There is also said to be imperative need for the earliest legislative consideration ot the provisions ot certain special charter nets which give • nutbority fur city tnx Shies for corpora­ tion taxes. In Grand Rapids the State, is given no protection for the titles which’ it may have acquired in.property which may be sold for delinquent city taxes, nnd serious loss can be the only result An anomaly in the tnx system is rep­ resented by Isle Royal County.

Instead of honoring President AngelL of the University of Michigan, with a banquet in Detroit, as wns intetded early in tbe year, the University Association ot Detroit is making arrangements to help celebrate the twcnty-fifth>nnivcrsary of his presidenry by an elaborate dinner at Ann Arbor. It has been planned by tbe Board of Regents and the university sen­ ate to honor the president with an un­ usual demonstration, and for more than a year arrangements bare been under way. They will mature on Wednesday, J uni- 25. with the program now arrangedIt is expected that many universities will be represented in the auspicious event,-for President Angell’s long connec­ tion with the University of Michigan has ffiade him the personal friend of almost every college and unlvcrshy president in tbe country. .President Charles K. Ad­ ams, of the University of Wisconsin, is to deliver the comcnccment oration this year, and will also be present to assist in doing honor to President Angell and bia nlmn mater, for he biniM’lf Is an alumnnn of tbe university. Some Eastern college presidents -will also be in attendance nnd will assist in making the alumni dinner to be given in honor of President Angell an affair of unusual importance. The chi* reunions, too, which arc held on the same day, will be subordinate*! to the great event of the day, and all classes will unite In doing honor to their president Moro than the usual representation- of the 10,­ 000 living alumni of the university are ex­ pected to be present. Tbe University Association of Detroit has been quietly getting ready for some, time to do its part in the celebration. The postponement of its own banquet until fall did not mean at nil that the associa­ tion meant to do nothing. It simply meant that all the c:iergj<#of the officers would be united in adding to the interest of |h’c commencement celebration. Tbe Board of Directors has been working for some time, headed by President Don M. Dickinson, nnd the arrangements to take-, n big crowd of nlumni nnd old students to the university city nre about completed. There are 5o0 alumni in Detroit and a large proportion will doubtless avail them­ selves of this unusually inviting oppor­ tunity to visit their alma mater during commencement time.

FADS OF THE COMING SEASON. Buttons are a summer craze. Every tone of violet is favored In Parison millinery. All violet bonnets with white satin Alsatian bows are lovely. Beware of the limp hand shake; it in­ dicates a catty nature. Tailor bicycle costumes are well worth the cost of their making. ■ A correct veil is part of the wellgowned woman's essential attire. Fur will be used in conjunction with chiffon on the dressy summer capes. Silk petticoats are as wide as the dress skirt and generally much prettier. Tapestry panels for the nursery il­ lustrate rhymes that are favorites of the juveniles. Horse-hair lace is used largely in millinery. No dampness can destroy its fluffy beauty. * For a plain organdie gown a certain society lender has bought a sash costing seven dollars a yard. Delft gowns, which are in reality tailor combinations of cadet blue and white, are being ordered largely. Artificial violets nt two dollars n bunch cannot be told from the real thing and last ever so much longer. The up-to-date woman carries * sil­ ver flask in the recesses of her muff or pocket.

Sunday was the seventy-fifth anniver­ sary of thc first communion tuketr by thc lKq>e, and in a cablegram to Cardinal Satolli from Cardinal BampolH the holy father granted indulgence to nil those who partook yf the sacrament on that day. The catilegram i* a* follows: "1 hasten to inform your eminence In order that you may in the most fitting manner give no­ tice that on the occasion -of the seventy­ fifth anniversary of his first communion the holy father designs to grant a plenary indulgence to all children who on thc an­ niversary shall make their first commun­ ion, and an indulgence of seven years and seven quarantine-* (280 days) to all thc faithful who on that sann- day shall par­ take of thc sacrament.” Recently Cardi­ nal Satolli addressed a circular letter to Roman Catholic* inviting nil children to celebrate thc occasion of the anniversary by receiving tbeir first communion. FINAL PAYMENT ON BONDS. Makes tbe Total Deposit In tbe Treas­ ury of SI 11,355,012. The final payment on account of the 4 per cent loan of February last ha* just Im-cd made ’at tbe Treasury Department. It amounted to $5,090 principal and $900 premium, and made a total deposit of $1I1^*>5,U12, of which $100,000,000 was principal, $11,100,24(5 was premium and $189,300 was interest. The late heavy withdrawals of gold for export have re­ duced the gold balance to about $108,000,­ 000, only a little over tbe legal tender reserve. There is at present no serious talk of another government loan, but even the most conservative officials in tbe Treasury Department gravely concede that such a course will be necessary if the foreign drain on the Government gold balance keeps up much longer at the rate that ha* marked the past few weeks.

Fearful Disaster at Sea. Over 240 lives were lost Tuesday night by the sinking off Usbant, France, of the British steamer Drummond Castle. The vessel, in command of Captain N. M. I*ier«*e, was en route from Cape Town to London, with 144 passenger* and 103 offi­ cer* and crew. When off the place named gjic struck a sunken rock aud foundered inside of five minutes. Only two b».at* were launched, and one of these Is sup|K>»ed to have been lost. It is also believed that thc passengers must have been asleep when the vessel struck. Seafaring men think the Drummond Castle dashed on the ledge while at full speed, ripped open thc water tight compartments, and tbe greater part of thc ship's bottom, slid across the ledge or went down in the deep water on the outside. It is feared that important witnesses in thc trial of Dr. Jamison and other citixens and mining men of the Transvaal, with tbeir families, were on*the vessel. Baronetx t-tranuled In Faria.

In the spring of 1895 the available capital had reach- ed $200,000, and-since then another $200,000 lias been added. , In July, 1895, the Centennial Exposi­ tion Company leased an improved piece of property of 200 acres, lying In the western suburb of Nashville, which has for years been the famous racing place known as West Side Parts, and'in thc same month the grading of the grounds fo: exposition purpose* was comminced. A lake of. some twenty-five acres was excavated, and also n small­ er one of about two acres in extent. In tbe center of the plan a high terrace was built to represent the Acropolis at Athens, and to form the foundation for the contemplated reproduction of the Athenian Parthenon. The entire con­ tour of the earth was altered, but the trees that were characteristic of old West Side Park were allowed to stand as they were.

The flrat settle-. meat in tin* State was attempted in 1754. but the settlers were wiped out by Ji e Indians. Two years later an­ other settlement was made on the Ten­ nessee River near Knoxville, and Fort Loudon was built. In 17<>0 this place was besieged by Indians and the whites capitulated on the condition that they would bo allowed to return to North Carolina. The condition, how­ ever. was not observed.

Tbe party, consisting of hunters, dogs, axcsAfld torches galore, bail l>een' hunting for a go»d part of the night without any luck whatever. Finally, the dogs treed a coon. It would take some time to fell so large a tree, and one of tbe negroes volunteered to climb It and ascertain the wherealwuts of tbe coon. All agreed to this, and sat around to await developments. Soon after the negro hod disappeared among the branches, a peculiar sound was heard from the top of the tn*e. It was a kind of mixture of negro and coon dialect. Some one ventured thc remark: “Bill, have you got that coon?" “Yes, sail,” was the reply, ‘Tse got Jis here coon; but I wish-you’d send some o’ dem darkle* up here to help me turn him loose,” Treatment for an Electric Shock. Dr. D'Arsonvilie, of Paris, who has made a special study of methods of treating persons injured by electric shocks, proposes thc following formu­ la: The person so disabled should b» treated like one drowned; In other words, be should' be laid on hls back and artificial respiration performed In the way that is ordinarily prescribed. counwt. the first thing to be done I* to stop, the current or break the contact In doing the latter one should not touch tbe clctlm on the face or hands, or any naked part of tbe body.

There were 300 seats on the platform, all of which were taken up by the distin;*u'Mhed guests. The fifty-one members •of the Jiatioual committee sat immediate­ ly in tbe rear ot the speaker’* stand, while to either side of It were the 530 represent­ atives of the press, including tbe Asso­ ciated and United Press. Tbe delegates •were seated by States directly in front of <he speaker's stand in the very center of the hall, while the alternates were seated oa either side. • Surrounding these were the thousands of reals for the spec­ tators, with as many more in the gallery that completely encircled the big hall. There was uo lack of, conveniences In the Xreat balk , Half a dozen long-distance telephones connected it with every impor­ tant city cast of the Mississippi river, and not less than 200 telegraph wires placed San Francisco.

The venerable "Dick” Tliom]»son. nf Indiana, who participated in the Clay-Jackson campaign of 3832 and has been a conspicuous figure .nt evtry Re­ publican convention since the organisa­ tion of the party, attracted much atten­ tion. He bears bis 87 years sturdily nnd looked full of vigor. The Ohio delegation, headed by the dashing Foraker antTdougiV ty Hanna, who as McKinley’s manager has made himself famous within a few months in the world of politics, passed down to their places, directly In front of the speaker's stand, without n demonstra­ tion of any kind. All was confusion on the floor in the final moments preceding the calling of the convention to order. The hands of the clock were nt 12*210 when Chairman Carter of Montana unwalstcoated and with widespreading shirt bosom, stepped forward' nnd with three fierce cracks of hls gavel, by way of pre­ liminary. sought to make his voice pierce thc general rustle. The attempt was a futile one. however. He was exhorting the supernumeraries who crowded thc aisles between delegates’ seats to “please retire." These gentlemen fulled to hear him. but his Injunction was rapidly car­ ried Into effect by hustling badged offi­ cials, who swept down the aisles with more vigor than ceremony? Then there was nn interval of comparative quiet. wbile.Mr. Carter announced thc prayer by Rabbi Sale. The thousands struggled up to thcir<eet when they caught tho signifi­ cance of the nfbbi's outstretched hands nnd stood for three minutes with bowed heads. The rabbi prayed with open eyes, and applause followed bls prayer. Chairman Fairbanks* Speech. The first real demonstration of the con­ vention came when Chairman Carter in­ troduced Charles W. Fairbanks of In­ diana as the*temporary presiding officer. William U. Sutherland of the New York delegation seconded Mr. Fairbanks' nom­ ination, and his selection was indorsed by thc unanimous vote of the delegates. As Mr. Fairbanks stepped forward to de­ liver his speech a wave of applause ran around the galleries. He spoke from mem­ ory, with <vi occasional referen«e to a pod he half concealed in bis left hand. His allusion to the protective tariff elicited an outburst of McKinley enthusiasm, which was repeated when he reached that portion of hit speech enunciating the Re­ publican doctrine of currency, and the demonstration reached its climax when he announced the unnltefable opposition of the party to a “oO-ceut dollar.” As he closed with a declaration that tne issue was protection and honest money, against free trade and free silver, the convention heartily cheered. Mr. Fairbanks then assumed the gavel and the real work of the convention be­ gan. William Lamb of Virginia moved the adoption of the rules of the last con­ vention to govern thia, pending further action, and for thc roH-cnl! of States, in response to which the various State chair­ men were to announce their delegates. At the'suggest ion of Gen. Grosvenor, the lists wore handed up to the platform to be read by the clerk. The announcement of Henry M. Teller to be Colorado’s man on the resolutions committee gave tho silver men their first chance to make their presence known, and they improved it by shrill cheers which iioha rrr.

Tbe Republican national convention completed its work Thursday night WHliam 'McKinley. of Ohio, was nominated for President and Garret A.

The total vote cast for McKinley was 661%. lined received 84%, Quay <M)%. Morton .18, Alli­ son 3514 nnd Cameron 1. No sooner had the chairman announced tbe resniPthan Senator Cabot IxxlgQ of Massachusetts moved to make tbe nomination unani­ mous. Among the first to second this were Gen. Hustings of Pennsylvania and Thomas Platt of New York. Gen. Hendi-rson of Iowa followed. Amid a storm of howls, tooting of fish horns, waring of banners and tbe playing of tbe band the motion was put ami carried. The pande­ monium was so great that tbe chairman could not be beard. When Senator Foraker, as chairman of the Ohio delegation, arose and cast 46 votes for th<» Buckeye mau. the twllot stood 467% for McKinley. Instantly the convention burst into a storm of enthu­ siasm. The rollcall was continued. but it . moment of suspense until the’ vote had been announced, and then tbe vast assem­ blage burst into chycrs and shouts of tbe wildest enthusiasm. .

While during recent year* this insect has done little damage, it Is well to understand It. The worm Is c’osely related to the cutworm, and batches from eggs laid by a handsome brown moth. In eight to ten days. They are at first green, but soon acqulreiongltudlu.il stripe* of yel­ low, black, or green. The worms feed on any Und of grasses or grains, and become full grown in abont a month after Hatching. Unless tbe worms be­ come very abundant they usually re­ main unnoticed, but If conditions are favorable armies sometimes appear, moving in solid ma**es across fields, destroying all vegetation. Th? fullgrown larvae enter the ground, pupate in earthen cells, and emerge In aljput two weeks as moths. In some latitudes two, and frequently three, broods will develop in a single season. Tlie worms are attacked by a great many enemies, guch as b'rds, parasitic Insects and in­ fectious diseases. Their natural ene­ mies usually hold them In check, so that there is little extended injury to crops. If, however, tbe worms are very numerous, the migration from oue field to another may be prevent-?! by eon struct Ing tarrier*. ns In the case of chinch bugs. Deep furrows with perpendlcuiiar sides, boards set on edge with the upper edge smeared with tar( plowing under infested crops nnd roll­ ing. have all proved efficacious lu cer­ tain Instances, and can all be tried with profit. Much was expected of the vari­ ous fungous diseases which have not proved entirely satisfactory. Epraying Infected crops with london purple or parts green lias been tried with good results, but other methods should prob­ ably be resorted to first. The large, .overgrown horse Is' not always the strongest or best fitted even for work on the farm. There is always a considerable amount of reading to do, and If the roads are hard, and espe­ cially If they are stony, the heavy horse Is very liable to go lame after being driven. Ills feet are not so tough as those of smaller nnd better built horses, and this, besides hls heavier weight, puts the large horse at a dis­ advantage on the road. There are also on the farm many kind* of work that require agility, quickness and endur­ ance in horses rather than great strength. For all-around farm work there Dever was a better breed of horse* than the old Morgans. Many farmers have leafhed this, and the horse that shows the Morgan charac­ teristics, of moderate size, with com­ pact. well-knit frame, will be pre­ ferred by them to tbe excessively large horses that attract most attention when exhibited at agricultural fairs. The West Virginia Experiment Sta­ tion Is testing specimens of timothy grass that ripen at different times an J otherwise show such peculiarities that it is hoped to make new varieties of them. We have not much faith that this can be done. Year* ago we have seen timothy that was very late In ripening, but It was always accounted for by tbe fact that It grew on low; wet ground, where It did not start to growing until very late. The heads of this late timothy were extremely long, some of them a foot or more In length, bfit the seed from these heads sown on warm upland produce timothy of the usual type, and which ripened at the usual time. The growth of timothy has always varied very much with the kind of soil It occupied, but the grass ha* Its fixed characteristics that are com­ mon to all. TO FHOTECT potatoes. this sketch.

Sleeves are seen that fit tightly from wrist to shoul­ der. * Over the shoulder, rather as part of tbe neck finish than as an ad­ dition to the sleeve, a little frill nay hang, or there may be a slight draft­ ing—as If a lace edged handkerchief were folded cornerwise, the point un­ der the arm, the ends tied on the top of tbe shoulder apd the edge of the handkerchief draping tbe sides of tbe anu a bit at the top. Such fullness or drapery as there is is positively away up at the top of the arm, and frequent­ ly at tbe sides of the top. so that thc line of tbe arm from wrist up over the shoulder Is unbroken. Evening gowns are made with the arm exposed and undraped from the wrist to tbe tiny line of shoulder strap on top, while an arrangement of puffs set on the bodice under the arm spreads to either Ride of the arm at the^top. Another daring change is shown lu the first picture. Here is a dress of biscuit-colored silk. Its sleeve fitting tightly from wrist to shoulder seam and armhole. A frill is then set in thc armhole, which falls over the top of the arm. Tbe frill has a little heading of pleated mauve satin that stands up smartly on the top of the shoulder. In many cases this frill b sllL and that makes more apparent tbe tight fit of tbe sleeve beneath. Such a sleeve seems to add much to a wom­ an’s height, and she who lias nice anus Is sure to hall .the return of a close fit for them as a good thing.

Iracomcfi the more con­ spicuous, but as u rule this transition sleeve endeavors to make Itself incon­ spicuous by the use of one material. But one fabric was employed in this gown, tan cloth, which was simply trimmed with ecru embroidery. Even greater concession to the tendency to cling to a fashion once adoptetl Is ac­ complished when the tight-fitting part, though It follows the outlines of the arm, still wrinkles and does not look too plain. The objection to this "dread­ ful plainness" Is chiefly made by pos­ sessors of arms that are just a little too thin. The elbow puff Is too dressy and too becoming • to the woman whose fore arm and elbow are pretty to be dis­ pensed with at once, but It Is signifi­ cant that its new designs, too, point tbe way to tight sleeves. As shown in the fifth of these sketches, the puff is pushed up high and the sleeve la brought to the elbow by a close fitting band or cuff finished with a fall of lace that hangs behind the elbow. In a little while the cuff will be all there Is of the elbow sleeve, and will have extender! over the shoulder, while the lace at the elbow will constitute the only elaboration of the sleeve, except tbe pretty curves of thc arm Itself. This upper puff Is not only subject to being rolled up on the arm so far that it Is hardly a puff at all. but It is silt lengthwise and then pushed toward the back of the arm. exposing nt the front a tight fitting effect, while at the l RIPANSTABULES > 4 A box will be sent, postage paid, on receipt of 50 cents by 4 4 The Ripans Chemical Co. 4 io Spruce Street, New York. 4 (Sample vial, 10 cents.)

One hundred and twenty years ago, namely, on the Fourth of July, 1» there was born In the western world a new na­ tion—tbe Republic of the United States. Refusing to pay Jhe taxation imposed up­ on them at the point of the bayonet by the British crown; failing to move the king aud his minister* from their career of haughty and reckless obstinacy, tbe thir­ teen American colonies found themselves reduced to the alternative of abject sub­ mission or of armed resistance. Already there had flashed throughout the country the electric words of Patrick Henry: “We must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left ns.” The sons of liberty shouted their re­ sponsive acclaim to this manly summons, and. like the sound of many .waters, the spirit of national independence which thus possessed the people came upon the Continental Congress, then In session in the State House nt Philadelphia, Pa. It ) was in this temple of freedom, wherein wns sitting as noble and august a legis­ lative body es the world ever saw, thm Richard Henry Lee introduced n’resolu­ tion, on the 7th of June, 1776, declaring. "That the United Colonies arc and ought to be free and independent States, and that their political connection wijh Great Britain is and might to lie dissolved.” Upon this resolution there sprang up nt once an earnest and powerful debate. It was opposed, principally, on the ground that it was premature. Its further con­ sideration wns accordingly postponed un­ til there was n prospect of greater unan­ imity. On the llth of June, a committee wns appointed to draft a formal Beclara, tion. This committee consisted of Ben­ jamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Shenmi.ii and Robert IL Livingston. On the 28th of June the com­ mittee made their report. and presented the Declaration which they bud drawn up. On the 2d day of July Congress pro­ ceeded to the serious consideration of this < momentous paper, which lasted nearly ■ three days, and was extreme^ earnest. It was known throughout the city that the great event was -to be determined, but the closed doors of Congress excluded the populace. From the hour .when Congress came together In the forenoon nil btisik ness wns suspended throughout the city. A and the okl bellman steadily remained at th his post in the steeple, prepared to sound H forth to the waiting multitudes the expectcd glad tidings. The bell, manufactured 7 in England, bore upon Its ample curve the now prophetic inscription, “Proclaim lib­ erty throughout all the land unto all the \ inhabitants thereof.” i Hours passed on, and fear began to take the place of hope in many a heart; even z the venerable nnd always cheerful liell- man. was overheard in his despondent so­ * liloquy: “They will never do it! they will never ' do it!” Finally, nt about 2 o’c'.ock-in tbe after­ noon, the door of the mysterious hnll J swung open, and a voice exclaimed: a “Passpd!—it has passed!” |l The word was caught up by ten thouil sand glad mouths, and the watch-boy U now ciapfietl bis hands and shouted. l "Ring! Ring!” Seizing the iron tongue h of the bell in which he bad long fel‘, such zj a professional pride, the electrified old patJ riot rung forth such a joyous peal ns was I never heard before, nor ceased to hurl it . backward and forward till evary voice I joined in its notes of gladness nnd triuinph. The roar of cannon, and illumiI nations from every house nnd hilltop, added -to these demonstrations of univer­ sal rejoicing. \ Washington hailed the declaration with joy, for it put an end to all those tempora izing hopes of reconciliation which had s clogged the military action of the coun­ ty try. On the Itth of July he caused it to *“ be read at the head of each brigade of the I army. The troops listened to the reading £ with eager attention, nnd at its close "" broke forth in tumultuous applause. j The excitable populace of New York ’ were not content with the ringing of bells. There was a leaden equestrian statue of George the Third in Bowling I Green, in front of the fort. Around this kingly effigy the excited multitude surged, and. pulling It down, broke it into frag­ . ments, which were afterward molded into 1 bullets and made to do service against ,1 his majesty’s troops. A In Boston, that citadel of radical insub'i ordination to “his majesty,” the public / joy knew no bounds. The town clerk !k read the solemn declaration to the multi­ tude. at the close of which a shout began in the hall and passed like an electric s;mrk to the streets, which now rang , with loud huzzas, the slow and measured boom of cannon aud the rattle of munket’ ry. The batteries on Fort Hill, DorehesI ter Neck, the castle, Nantasket and Long i Island, each saluted with thirteen guns, * Oratrd and Feasted. •II man aro mxltd equal; mat irn-y aro eedowad by thrlr Creator with certain unalienable rights: that amone theae an- life, liberty and the pursuit of happioeaa.

Contrasted with the'violent celebration of this up-to-date age, the Fourth of July of fifty or 100 years ago presents a peace­ ful picture of hearty patriotism more in keeping with the real sentiment of the event than the present blustering fashion. For instance, here Is the way the people >f Germantown. I’a., . celebrated the Fourth of July of 1818. There were three cannon in the little town which had done service both in the Revolution and in the War of 1812. Several days before the Fourth the Indies of the place boiled .hams, roasted sucking pigs whole, baked pies by the dozen and biscuits by the hundred, made al! manner of cuke gener­ ously filled with jam, and on the morning of the great day deposited the good things with the proprietor of the best tavern in town. Early on fhe Fourth the young men of (fitsplace fired off the cannons two or three times, ns official notice that the Fourth of July had come again. At the noon hour the whole exaumunity met nt the green beside the heaped up tables. There were speeches and n prayer, and then the work of the day be­ gan. Benches were placed on all aides of the tables, and the eaters sat as closely as possible. None of the ladies dined pith .the men. It was not considered pr»|H?r. They stood in groups near the tavern, gowned in their best and making polite comments on the diners. In the late afternoon, when all the men hud eaten their Gill, there was a hnll in the public house, and it was here that the ladies really enjoyed the day. They danced right merrily until well on toward midnight, when the candles, the musicians and the dancers were all ex­ hausted. In the ’.30's there wns a change in the method of celebrating the Fourth. The country was more prosperous, and its pat­ riotism had taken a more vainglorious turn. The town of -Newburg-on-thc-Hudson gave a groat Fourth of July celebra­ tion in the year 1831. The ladies began tbe work weeks before the Fourth. Committees wore appointed, and each member was to call upon a cer­ tain number of her friend* for contribu­ tions. Powder was purchased by an ambitiou* politician, and the village can­ non was shot off nt regular intervals dur­ ing the morning of the Fourth. He also gave small change to tbe boys of tbe town, and this was used to buy peppermint can­ dy and gingerbread. Firecrackers were very expensive things then, and few boys cared to indulge in the luxury of using •hem, even if they had the financial From early sunrise, young ladies and young men were busy making and setting rhe rude tables, also a place for the ora­ tor of the day. The latter had been in­ vited from a neighboring town because of bis wide repute for-eloquence. He was a young man, who wore his hair long, and In ordinary conversation used nothing but tft- most ponderous language. He was re­ garded as one of the coming men of the day by the community and himself. At midday the people gathered nt the church for the grand procession. A band composed of young men of the village led the way, foliowet! by the three finest equipages to lx* had. in which sat the aged Revolutionary heroes. The 1812 veterans marched next, and then came all kinds of vehicles, from the heavy farm wagon to the light buggy, containing the children mid the very old folks. The orator of the day, of course, took ns his theme patriot­ ism and the great and growing country. Hem is an example of his style. It refers to the signers of the Declaration of Inde­ pendence: "Behold these iron-hearted men nrmed with dauntless valor, and encased in a panoply that no human force could shat­ ter. and in readiness for battle, stalk bold­ ly forward. and with one stroke of the pen cause a vibration that shall only cense to be felt when the universe returns to primeval chaos.” This was considered magnificent, and the long-haired young man after talking for three-quarters of an hour in this strain was deemed the hero of the day.

The men In the north, who have reached positions of influence, have been men who have had quite continuous service. Maine has always kept her members in Congreas for long terms. The result has been, she has presented to the nation the names of Hamlip, Blaine, Reed. Dingley, etc. Tbe rilles of .the House of Representatives are, necessarily, de­ signed tn secure members of experi­ ence for the most Important positions on committees. This theory secures the must experienced and able mem­ bers of Congress Important positions on committees. It follows that length of service, industry, and ability are the only Qualifications fur leadership in Congress. When a member, for the first time,enters Congress, the speaker usually gives him an appointment at the foot of some committee, where he must prove, by his industry and anil­ ity, what capacity he has for work, and In this way only can a member of Con­ gress secure, for himself and his con­ stituents, power and influence In the national legislature. The juen in Con­ gress from the north who occupy tend­ ing and enviable positions are men of long service. The value of men In continued service Is made very appar­ ent by the constitution of committees Maine. New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, as a rule have the valued assignments on tbe committees, while the great states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Kansas are less favored. The for­ mer states have retained their members of Congress In public service until they have earned tbe prizes be­ longing to a member of Congress. The latter states have turned down their members of Congress and send new men to take their places. It Is not in the power of the Speaker to disregard tbe rights of members long in tbe ser­ vice. If Michigan is fortunate enough to keep her present delegation in Congress.lt Is only a Question of time when she will be honored with the chairman­ ship of tbe committees on invalid pen­ sions, war claims, foreign affairs, bank­ ing and currency, and post offices and post roads, when the Rouse is in the control of tbe Republican party.

In the land of the Cxar, the Middle Age* and their ideas still pre­ vail; Russia has not yet emerged from the darkness of the feudal system. It is true that the Emperor Alexander issued a decree abolishing serfdom, and thereby technically emancipated over 20,000,000 serf*, but emancipation, to men unpre­ pared to take advantage of it, I* a mock­ ery. aud to the present day the great masse* of Russian peasantry are free only in name. They may not be^sold with the estates, but without means to move else­ where. without the knowledge that they can better their condition by moving, and under the belief that they would be brought back If they did go. the name of freedom become* a hollow delusion.

This system alone would be enough to account for the general poverty and mis­ ery ot'the j»ea*antry in the Russian Em­ pire, but there are others quite as potent Tbe people are grossly ignorant and su|>erstitious beyond belief. There is a pre­ tense of popular edtjeation. It is true, but to tbe pennant farmer* it is only a pre­ tense. for not one in ten can read a line. The clergy of the Greek Uburch.

The future of this vast mw« of ignorance may well be viewed with apprehension. The Russian peasants do' not now know their strength, just a* the equally ignor­ ant and down-trodden French peasantry a century ago were ignorant of their power, bat when they discover it. as notnc day they surely will, the aristocracy of Russia may faro as badly ns did the no­ bility that crowded the gay court of Louis XVI.

Most Unexpected. Wonderful things l»appen In this world, and many other thing*, jxiasibly more wonderful mill, are said to hap­ pen. Tints rhe New York Tribune re|x»rts that a company of American trav­ elers were telling stories in the smok­ ing-room of a steamer. One thing led to another, till a member of the party capped the climax by narrating an odd adventure that once befell him in Ger­ many.

Some- years ago I visited Herrenlutusen wkh my wife and children, and some persons whose acquaintance we had made on the steamer. It was a tK'autlfdl day In. summer, and we all felt iu the highest spirit*.

'Oh. ]m|*a*s opened the door!’ and rushed in to see the statue. The others followed, while I for a mo­ ment was too dazed to say a won!. I began to-feel more or. less alarmed.

The importance of the wheat crop to the farmer i* not so much in the total yield, a* In It* market vslue. According to the. present outlook, the value Of this year'*; wheat crop will greatly exceed that of the’ last three years. The DcjMirtmeiit of-Agriculture -doe* not presume to c*timata> the price* of any commodities in advance, of tbe market, but unofficial information is to tbe effect that the average value of wheat thl* year I* likely to be about 57 cents, agnimt 51 cents laat year, 49 cents In 1894. 54 cents in 1KJ3 and 62 cents in. 1892. If the estimate of 57 cents for this year's crop Is- borne out by the market, quotations during the remainder of the year, tbe total value of the 1896 wheat crop will be F27O.OOO.OOO. The value of the wheat crops of recent f years, a* given by the Department of Ag- ' rlculture. Is as follows: 1W2.......

Homemade Potato Sprayer. The sprayer Illustrated herewith Is inexpensive and easll> made. First, a heavy iron rod about IVi inches thick and 6U feet long must be procured for an axle. This may be taken from au old grain drill, or elsewhere, and adapted to the present use. For wheels, take those of the liay-rake, as a high wheel makes the flow strong­ er. The shafts should be about eight feet long. They are bolted to the axle, five feet apart, and fastened securely, that the rod may not turn. Two pieces of wood, three by three inches and three and one-half feet long, are bolted across the shafts 12 or 15 Inches apart, one of them being placed a trifle back of the axle, and the other farther In ’ front of IL The singletree 1s attached to a third crosspiece farther forward. Two more pieces, two by six inches nnd two feet long, are bolted edge­ wise across the 3x3-lnch pieces, two feet apart. These pieces are hollowed out.at the top so that a_barrel will rest on them securely. Twp stopcocks are Inserted into the barrel opposite the bung, and two pieces of ipse six feet long, terminating In a fine spray nozzle, attached to them. The bunghole I* turned upward and a funnel used In filling It The horse walks between the rows of jotatoes, the man follow­ ing and holding a nozzle In each hand above the row, on either side. When turning at the end of a row. the hose may be laid across the barrel to stop the flow. The pressure of the liquid in the barrel, if well elevated, is suffi■clent to produce a steady flow, and the Jolting of the machine will keep the parls green In solution. With a spray­ er of this kind one person can easily spray ten acres of potatoes in a day.— American Agriculturist The Nooning Time. In the longest days of the year, and when on the farm the hardest work of the year has to be done, there should be generally a longer rest.at noon than is usually taken. The early morning and toward evening are the most com­ fortable times to work out of doors. But with a day nearly, or quite, fif­ teen hours long, there must be a con­ siderable resting place in the middle of the day if health Is to be preserved. The noon dinner may take half an hour or more, but after that should be a rest of a full hour or two, and If part of that time be spent in sleep both body aud brain will be refreshed. Few know how great Is the dependence of the nerves off sleep for their continuance In vigorous health. A noonday rest of not less than two hour* will enable more work to be done than can be se­ cured without it If storms threaten when crop* have to be secured the' noon rest may be omitted, for In such case when rain comes there will be longer opportunities for resting and even fof sleeping than will be desir­ able. . Killing Ro»e Ruga with Hot Water. It Is very slow and difficult work thinning off the rose and pear slugs ■when they are found on pear and grape leaves. Not many people know that they can be easily killed by drench­ ing the leave* with water heated to 130 to 140 degree*. This 1* death to nearly all kinds of bug*, and the wa­ ter can be applied 10 to 20 degrees hotter* than this without Injuring the leaves either of the pear or grape vine. If the water Is applied by spraying. It should be some hotter than is re­ quired. *o that It may reach the slugs at the temperature that Is surely fatal to them? Very cold water or that which han had Ice dissolved In it will kill the rose slugs If dashed violently against them, but It knocks off many more, and they are soon found at their work again. ■ Fence* Around Garden*.

The Twin Hhaft operated by the New­ ton Cool Company, the principal stock­ holders of-which live In Philadelphia, Is an old mine, bat the output has always been large. Somo.two weeks ago It was noticed that the mine was “squeezing”— that Is to s*y, the surface was pressing hard on the props and pillars. Steps were kt once taken to stop it. Heavy timbers were put In and every precaution was taken to prevent a cave-ln. Friday It was thought that the "squeeze” had been arrested, but Saturday It began to "work” •gain. The principal trouble was tn ths red anh or lower vein of coal 1,500 feet from the foot of the shaft. There wers two heavy falls on Saturday afternoon •nd It was thought dangerous to enter that part of the mine. At 8 o'clock in the evening Inside Sup­ erintendent Langan concluded that some­ thing would have to be done nnd done quickly if It wits hojied to save-the Inside workings from destruction. Accordingly he Issued orders to get n party of ths most expert miners together to make an effort to prevent further damage to the mine. Calls were sent oat and at 0 o'clock that night about 100 men had gone down the -mine. Nearly all of them knew ths great risk they were running, but they argued thus: "The superintendent and foreman are with us; if they do not hesi­ tate to go•ta', why should we7” The men worked hard nnd faithfully until a little after 3 o’clock, when, prob­ ably without warning, the roof on the 1,000-foot slope where the men were at work fell In. The concussion was co great that It wns felt for a distance of four miles. The foundations of nearly every house In Pittston were shaken, and the citizens first thought a violent earth­ quake had. taken place. Immediately after the accident occur­ red there wns a call for volunteers. Two hundred men responded at once, and. de­ spite the great dangers sure to be encoun­ tered, entered upon the work of rescue. The men were divided into relief gangs of forty each, for the work Is very tedious, as the roof ha* to bo propped ns fast as the men work their way through the debris. The greatest excitement prevailed about the mouth of the shaft all dny. Ths relatives of the imprisoned men gathered In large numbers nnd their grief wns pit­ iable. "Oh, my dear husband,” “Oh, my poor papa," were the erics of anguish beard. Many of the women swooned nnd had to be carried away. Some kn#R on the wet ground and prayed that their loved ones might be brought out alive. At last the excitement became so great that a special police force was sworn In to keep the crowd back. People from all fver the valley went to Pittston by train, trolley cars, carriages nnd bicycles. Waahlnw' Lace Curtain*. It always pays to have a frame at light wooden strips to dry curtains on.

Have Entered.—The Races Will ENTRIES CLOSED. For Battle Creek’s Na­ tional Cycle Meet be Close and Interesting The entry Hit for the National Cir­ cuit Cycle Tournament at Battle Creet aext Monday and Tuesday, July 18,14, baa closed and ii the largest Hit of en­ tries ever received for a cycle tourna­ ment in tho state. Nearly every state ta the union is represented in the events and the best and speediest professional riders will be there to contest. Men writh national reputations who have broken world's records and have startled the racing world at different times at their marvelous speed exhlbibitlons, will be there. It is seldom that m many stars as have entered at Battle Creek ever attend one race meet, but OTTO ZIIGLXB. the Cycle Association has been a^ work night and day to secure the best riders in the country, and the result of this hard work is that the very fastest men In the land have entered. There will be at least ten riders in the professional events who are so evenly matched that an inch advantage gained by any one of them means that the race belongs to him. With such speed merchants pit­ ted against each other the finishes should long be remembered by those who see them. Time limits will be placed on all final events and extra prizes given for record breaking. Ev­ ery inducement possible will be thrown out to them to do their best, and our people can look for good racing, the like of which never waa witnessed on a track in this state and probably never will be again. Arthur Gardiner is now resting up pre­ paring to meet Cooper and Bald there and the meeting will be warm. Cooper was made a king there last year and Gardiner will try to wear away the crown this year. Otto Ziegler will represent the golden state of California in the events. Zieg­ ler is one of the fastest men iu this country today and is deatined to make a sensation before the season doses. With the men they have entered at Battle Creek and the reputation that city has for big race meets the crowds should swell her hotels and lodging houses to their utmost capacity. Large race meets are no experiments in Battle Creek, they should enjoy big returns for their ijard work over there. Excursion rates on all railroads for this big cycle event FOREIGN GLEANINGS.

The dogfish Is not count­ ed good eating, but he certainly is game. Unlike the trout or t»ass he never breaks water, but at might to the bottom and fights and pulls.

A goat saves the firm of Swift,& Co. of Kansas Chy the salaries of several men nt the stork yards. He is the lure used to persuade sheep to leave the and the 1pens ’' “’’ ** “u go to “ *« packing-house—a “ I reguhir stock yards siren. He is not a pretty animal, nnd his name is ••Willy.’’ but be is a valuable assistant, and is treated with consideration, although he cost less than $2. Swift &. Co. by a great many sheep, and until they employed “Willy” had considerable trouble In driving the sheep across the,bridge to their plant. Sheep are the most foolish animals on four feet. They have no souse to speak of. nnd when one. with even loss sense than his fellows, goes through a bole In a fence or over a bridge, all the others Tbe great adaptability of the Scan­ dinavians to tbe circumstances and customs of their adopted country Is ac­ knowledged on all sides. W henever and wherever they have trarupkinted themselves, whether in England in tbe ninth century, in Norinandv In the tenth. In Sicily in tbe eleventh, or In America In tbe nineteenth, the same process of transformation has taken place. No other people in nil its his­ tory has such a record, in the United Stated they have eagerly learned Eng; Ush. and have quickly done so l»eeause of Its similarity to their awn language in structure and vocabulary. Of course men who have come hither ns ndnlts always prefer the old speech, and in some districts in the country and iu Scandinavian quartersxof the cities it will be beard almost exclusively, be­ cause of the large numbers of the for­ eign born. But the second generation quite Invariably choose Engfir.li. and many of them have forgotten the lan­ guage of their fathers. At a town con­ vention which I attended in 1894 i in Illinois in a large Swedish com­ munity. the proceedings went ou smoothly In English for some time, un­ til an elderly Swede became somewhat puzzled and nsked the chairman, n young Swede, to explain the matter In Swedish. From that point all motions were given in Swedish. Remarks were addressed to the chair in both lan­ guages. In matters of rcljglon Scandinavians have shown a pectfllar faculty in con­ forming to the bad American custom of multiplying denominations. In tbe home countries,’ though there is now practical^' complete toleration, the ex­ istence of a state church and nn Epis­ copal organization have maintained a good degree of uniformity. Neither of these restraining influences has ever operated in tills country. There have been no bigbops to check the tendency of diversity. Liberty to adopt' any creed and to change church relations nt will Is freely used. The zeal of tbe Norwegian in controversy has found even a better field in the church than iii politics. Before 1890, when three di­ visions united, there were five bodice of Norwegian Lutherans, while the Danes were comfortable with two, nnd the Swedes lagged behind with only one. What tbe Swedes lack in Luth­ eranism they make up in “dissenting sects,” though none of them have been converted in this country. The statistics of Intemperance and Illegitimacy, which nre sometimes so alarming In parts of the Scandinavian countries, do not appear to find n par­ allel among Scandinavians In America. But all such statistics are unsatisfac­ tory. and frequently untrustworthy. Generalization Is. -therefore, unsafe. There are drunkenness nnd illegitimacy among them here, but I have not ol>served that it Is more difficult to main­ tain order and decency in a city like Minneapolis with Its Norwegians and Swedes than in St. Paul with its Irish nnd Germans. Of the pauper ami crim­ inal classes thtf Scandinavians have a smaller proportion tlinn any other alien element ex«*ept the British, while of the insane. Judging from Minnesota, they seem to haven larger percentage than the Germans or British.

Loo'im are made of wire, into which skillets, palls, pans or other tapering cooking utensils are fitted snugly.

A boy goes ahead of the goat and the sheep trail out behind. "Willy” Is as digni­ fied ns a Congressman, with his Is/ard floating In the wind nnd a bell Jangling nt his neck. He climbs up and down the steps leading to tiif walks along the fence tops.' When his master takes n walk about the yards on the tops of the fences “Willy" goes along. Occasionally ‘-Willy” gets tired of being good, and. like the “little girl who had a little curl." he can be horrid when he's naughty. Ayhen “Willy” Is naughty he Is not coaxed: his master takes a hickory club ami maltreats him, and thereafter one would think "Willy” had tbe disposition of an angel English as She Is Wr.t.

Nicholson, the father of the Indiann liquor law. which lias been pro­ nounced constitutional by the Supreme Court of tbe State, has nn interesting personality apart from being the orig-* inator of the law. Mr. Nicholson first came Into prominence In 1894. when he was made President of the Good Citi­ zens’ League, which has its headquar­ ters at Kokomo. At that time he was the editor and proprietor of the Koko­ mo Times, a daily paper founded by him about three years ago. He had re­ cently removed to Kokomo from Rus­ siaville. where he was editor of the Ole server. Only 30 yea* old. bis ability wns recognized by bis older compan­ ions. who made him president of the league and leader of tfie law and order movement. He ran for the Legislature and was elected, and at once set alxiut the work of tbe law which was to regu­ late tbe saloons. Mr. Nicholson was born thirty-four years ago at Elizabeth­ town.

The reason that certain animals lap instead of drink seems to lie an qrraugement of nature to prevent car­ nivorous animals, whose stomachs are comparatively small, from over-dlstendlng themselves with water. Most of the animals that suck when drink­ ing nre herbivorous nnd have large stomachs, or more than one. with a paunch or receptacle for unchewed food, and with them digestion is a slow process and there is little, if any. danger of over-distension, although such a thing is not unknown with some do­ mestic herbivorous animals. Digestion Is a much more rapid process with the carnivora, and It is Important that it should not be delayed by the Ingestion of lapfe quantities of cold water. By lapping tbe month and throat are thor­ oughly moistened, while the water Is supplied to tbe stomach In small quan­ tities. properly warmed and mixed with saliva. It may be fairly assumed that the carnivora are of more recent crea­ tion, for the herbivorous animals arc their food, and that therefore lapping may be considered a more highly de­ veloped way of drinking than sucking. iikv. e. s. sicnoijiox.

THE VERY BEST Is what you like when yqu buy things to eat. Mediocrity will do In clothing, shoes, furniture, etc., when times are close and money scarce, but people don’t want to eat anything that isn’t right, no matter how hard the times. Well, we know the value of a dollar just now, and although our meats cost us high, we are keeping the prices down to the lowest notch, and and at the same time are cutting the best meats money can buy. A trial will convince you. W. H. Clever, Blacksmithing. I havent had thirty-two years' ex­ perience in the blacksmithing busi­ ness, but I have had the benifit of that experience, and if I can not do your work in a satisfactory manner it won’t cost you a cent.

The rsault wus reached Friday afternoon on the fifth ballot. When the result of the deciding ballot was announced the vast concourse that tilled the Coliseum burst into a storm ot cheering and applause that made the great g-rder* of the build­ ing teeteble. Standing on chairs and climbing on one another’s shoulders, the people yelled and shrieked and waved hats, canes and handkerchiefs. Swept «waf by such enthusiasm, nearly all the delegate# joined in the wonderful demonotratiou, whether they hud voted for the “t>oy orator of the Platte” or not. There.were but few demonstrations be­ fore fhe convention was rapped to order Friday morning. The lenders came in quietly. At ’.0:57 Chairman White of . California called the convention to order. Rev. Dr. Green offered prayer. Chair­ man White then announced that the con­ vention ’,-n* still on #be call of States fur nominalioiir. Thereupon Mr. Harrity of Pennsylvania placed in nomination <’xGov. Robert E. Pattison. Thi* evidence that Pennsylvania would stand by the platform and participate in the nomina­ tion drew a cry of delight from the silver men. and Pattison’a name got a swinging round of applause from the galleries. Mr. Mattingly of the District of Columbia •econded tbe nomination of John R. Mc­ Lean of Ohio.

When the rhetorical smoke had cleared away, after two hour* of arguments, appeal*, threat*, cheers and soon* hisses, there sat Senator Daniel of Virginia iu the place of honor, and David B.

When Mr. Daniel had concluded, the secretary called the roll of States and territories for the appointment of com­ mittees, after which the convention adj'ourned nntll 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. tired. and many of them were hungry. The issue was precipitated when the committee reported in favor of seating four contesting delegates in Michigau. This change gave the silver men a major­ ity. and under tbe unit rule they could east the vote of the entire delegation for the white metal. A minority report was presented and followed by speeches from Gov. McLaurin of Mississippi, Saulsbury of Delaware. Stevenson of Michigan, and other*. Stevenson scored the committee nnd tho contestants in vitriolic arguments. Blake of Toxas declared the contested seat# were tainted with fraud of which the committee had evidence, and Mc­ Knight of Michigan refuted the accusa­ tions. Amid much confusion, the roll was call­ ed upon the substitute. The excitement grew as tho rote proceeded. Seven dele­ gates from Alabama put themselves on record as opposed to unseating the Dick­ inson delegates, nnd eleven Californians, let! by Senator White, did the same thing. The silver men sent up a wild cheer when A. S. Trude announced the vote of Illinois ns -18 against the substitute. Sen­ ator Hill rose when New York was colled nnd announced "Seventy-two vote- aye." The announcement inspired n great dem­ onstration in the galleries. The gold men rose from their seats with flying hats nnd handkerchiefs, nnd cheered continuously for over five minutes. The gold delegate* got up on their ehoira, New York and Massachusetts leading. But, only onethird of the convention rose. The other <wo-thirds rat silent and stern. The Cremonstrption which succeeded ’the an­ nouncement of the vote was in marked contrast. Iu one case the gnilery led; in the other the delegates. The galleries shouted for gold, but the delegates voted for silver. When jhe chairman declared the amendment lost by a vote of 558 to 36S the silver, delegates leaped to their chairs in demonstration, turning defiantly toward the audience ns they cheered. The silver men bad won battle number two nnd the non-contentious business of electing permanent officer# followed. Sen­ ator Stephen M.

On tho fifth day of tbe Chicago conven­ tion and on the fifth ballot, Arthur Bew­ ail uf Maine was named as the Democrat­ ic candidate for Vice-President. A few minor motions were speedily disposed of, tbe gavel fell announcing adjournment and one of tbe most noted political con­ ventions ever bold in this country had passed into history. The end was like the beginning. It wa* tho South and W’est against the North nnd East on the first day. when Chairman Harrity rapped fit order. It was tbc Soul a and West against the North an,! East through four long, toilsome day* over committee reports, platforms and nonnhation*. And Satur­ day afternoon it was tbe South and West against themselves to placate the North and East in the nomination of a candi­ date for Vke-Presldcnt. Geography made Sewall the nominee. It was the most remarkable i»olilicnl gathering of a generation nnd it laid tbc foundation for a new volume of history. The national anthem, rolling through the great amphi­ theater, pronounced its benediction, fc ’ The convention did not decide Friday night who would be placed ou the ticket with Bryah. The body had hardly been ■ brought to order before a motion to ad­ journ was offered, nnd the delegates glad­ ly postponed the task of completing tbe ticket to the fifth day. The convention met Saturday for it* las: day's work depicted in members, tired in body, and mind and listless in spirit. There were no eager thousand* in the galleries to encourage ambitious speak­ ers with applause. Among the delegates there was no desire to punctuate tbe day's 'proceedings with pyrotecnnics. The con­ vention did no: get under way until after 11 o'clock. The delegates were slow in arriving and die public apparently had had a sufficiency of convention amuse­ ment. The smallest crowd of the week, probably les* than was ranged on the shelving sides of the amphitheater. Sound money delegates from the East nearly all had departed. Silver delegates were absent by the score, leaving the del­ egations to pick for them a vice-presiden­ tial candidate out of the mass of uncer­ tainty. The small attendance was due to luck of interest. There was no limitation on admission tu the hall. Before the con­ v *ntion began business’ Senator Ben Till­ man of South Carolina pried open the doors with his famous pitchfork nnd al­ lowed nJ! who wished to enter. In detail, he offered, a motku), which was passed, that the hall be opened to the public with­ out restriction. This was received with much enthusiasm. Despite an apparent lack of enthusiasm the contest for second place would have stood odt ns n notable convention strug­ gle had it not been overshadowed by what hud been done l>efure. Thirteen can­ didates were placed in nomination: Wil­ liams of Massachusetts, McLean of Ohio, Clark of North Carolina. Fithian of Illi­ nois. Pennoyer of Oregon. Sewall of Maine. Sibley of Pennsylvania. Bland of Missouri. Daniel of Virginia, Boies of Iowa. Blackburn of Kentucky. Hnrrity of New York and Pattison of Pennsylva­ nia. Nominations scarcely were com­ pleted when withdrawals began and the contest finally narrowed down to Sewall nnd McLean. Everybody expected a nomination on the fifth ballot, but before roll-call was finished a telegram was read announcing McLean’s withdrawal nnd the proposition wa* made that Sewall be de­ clared the nominee by acclamation, nnd it was done. The chairman laid down his gavel and the Democratic national con­ vention of IS’.Mj was over. JONES IS CHAIRMAN. democratic National Committee Se­ Senator James K.

The members from the gold States did not generally attend the meeting. .although there were some notable exception*. Mr. 'Hsrrlty was there, having the proxy of E. C. Wall of Wisconsin.

Signs of hydrophobia rare­ ly develop under four weeks, and sometimes a year may elapse after the original Injury. The proportion of the bitten cases which eventually succumb Is variously estimated from one In two to one In twenty. •x Since tbe recently inaugurated Pas­ teur treatment offers the only positive escape from this terrible malady, and since also .it is necessary to inoculate the system thoroughly with the rem­ edy within two or three weeks of the time of the bite at the longest.

This business of fishing os the Giwices^er fisherman are obliged to carry It on, is perhaps tbe most dangerous occupa­ tion ordinarily engaged In by men. I once read an article in the Century, in which the author stated that in one town near Gloucester there waa only one man who could be called old. All tbe others of anywhere near his age had met'their death upon the sea. Tbe Banks is a particularly stormy part of the ocean, also one of the most liable to fog.

Fascinating Description of a Voy­ age Across tho Blue Atlantic. On board Steamer “Furnessa.” June 26, 1806. Editor News: • When I mailed you my last letter I •was on my way through the streets of New York towards tbe dock uf the .Anchor line. My uppermost thought was. "Will my wheel be there?” I had left It the day previous at a bicycle -store on Broadway, to be crated and -sent to the dock'that afternoon. We reached our destination and while my ■companions watched onr grips 1 looked through the piles of trunks, steamer chairs, etc., for that most necessary rartlcle <m a bicycle trip. It wasn't there! The world looked black to me. Here it was almost sailing lime, my •wheel not here and the place where 1 • Aad left It several miles away. Worst of all I had tu watch our things while my companions went after their bicy­ cles which they had left at a near by iplace for boxing. It cost me but 50 cents, while my companions had to lay down four times as much, and yes­ terday I had laughed at them and con­ sidered myself a very Napoleottof busi­ ness ability beside them, but now all -the pleasure of the thing had vanished. I hadn’t much Idea that my wheel wvould come now, because th^y had promised so faithfully U> have it at «he dock tbe day before. They must have sent it to the wrong pier. Why <on earth didn’t my friends come back jand give me a chance to go and bunt up my property if it was possible? 1 •wondered how I should go about a bi­ cycle trip with the Atlantic Ocean be­ tween me and my bicycle. My usually •calm and majestic countenance show­ ed signs of anxiety, I fear. The fact is 1 was about as near flyingall to pieces is alien with her brood of ducklings paddling about op a mill pond. As I stood there a homely old mule came pulling a heavy truck upon the pier, insulted by the policeman and insult­ ed by the driver. I was about to join ■io the maledictions being beape<i up­ on him, just as they always are when *one of bls kind makes liis appearance, when I suddenly caught sight of a bi­ cycle in the wagon, aud the bicycle .name-plate read “Cleveland.” Hallelu­ jah! It was mine. Instantly that scrawney, knock-kneed old beast seemed handsomer to me than any horse I had eyer seen. Glorious old mule! Long may he live, to delight the eyesot the expectant traveler. And as Ipondered over this occurance, 1 thought how often good deeds, and helpful ones, will make the ugliest fea­ tures look fair aud beantiful. (I re­ gard this as a very good thought in­ deed aud worthy of a place in any .Sunday school bouk.) S&on my friends came back and we went aboard. A112 o’clock the gang . plank was pulled In, and tbe Furnessa began backing out of the dock. Just as she got well started, a pretty young lady came rushing upon tbe pier, probably feeling a good deal worse -even than I had a few moments before. Surely they will wait for her, I thought. I.would have done so any time. But they didn’t and we all felt sorry for her. Our boat backed slowly ■out two or three hundred feet and we <had almost forgotten the unfortunate who was left behind (as is the way of the world), when suddenly a puffy llttie tug shot out from the’wharves and ‘ name swiftly toward - us. It looked like a dog chasing a railroad train and I wondered what it would do with us. «MJt all at once I spied a pink Jacket in tbe wheel house of the tug, and :tben realized that it takes more than AJBrltlsb steamship line to get the Vest uf a Yankee girl. The little boat --.•aiue alongside and in a moment more . aciid the cheers of the passengers, that American girl came clambering ■ -upover the side of onr ship. Just then Cheaters and stripes were run up at ; the masthead, and after more cheers for our flag and our girl, we looked . about us, some to see what kind of a Ltaune we were to have for the next lx?n trays, for the Furnessla is a slow <boaL and others got a last glimpse of INew York. We went down the river passed pier after pier, passed the stat• tie of Liberty, and were on the At­ lantic it-self. Ahead of us was the ’blgCunard aVamer "Campania", but she rapidly went ahead of us and in an » hour.or so was lost to view. .JKhileJ was intent on all this, I be"came aware of a somewhat personal *Uscusslon going on near me. A young ■ <uan and bls wife had disagreed about something or other, and It looked as Chough tbe right time had come in which to burst into tears and ruin 2tim iu the eyes of tbe passengen*.

Then we had Bwocband by night we felt that our ’voyage had really commenced and -wondered if we should have pleasant \waather tomorrow. A few already '•looked as if they would say; ^However, most of us felt pretty BCwd, and clear up to today the Furooara has had a sturxith ocean to plough through. One of my compan­ ions informed us one day that we would have a storm tomorrow, since itoe had seen a “ringbone'’ on tbe sun, Act his prophecy failed to come true. A most impressive song in such a place. Nearly all day there were more or less people standing about the pi­ ano. while somebody played old. fa­ miliar airs. Everyone' joined in whenever they knew words, and many a heart warmed to the sounds which aroused thoughts of home and friends left behind the day before, or soon to be seen again in tne old country. There is one old Scotchman going back to bls native land which he left forty years ago this summer. A tine old man be is too, seeming to have just stepped out uf "The Bonnie Briar Bush.” I spoke lo him of that book and his honest eye lighted up as he saldr In his slow, halting speech: "Aye. mon, it Is a fine book. It is just as it is in my country. Dinna ye go back home, lad, till ye have seen the bunnie bloomin heather. it issgrand, mon.” The old gentle man is going back to visit his daughter who sent him the money to come with. He bought his ticket, but In some manner, last Wed­ nesday on deck he lost what was left of IL six gold sovereigns. It nearly broke his heart, though-he was very patient. Some of the passengers tire making up a purse, which will no doubt do much to give this old Daniel Gray a lighter heart when he steps off at Glasgow. A very different sort of Scotchman is Mr. Rtebard Olyphant. He is a leader in everything, especially in the game of quoits, with which we pass many an hour. Tbe other day he ar­ ranged a grand international quoit match, between Scotland and Ameri­ ca. When he appeared oo deck after dinner we Inquired of him whether fie •was to be a member of the Scotch team. In answer he drowled ont, “Hoot, mon. that I am, and Scotland Is on deck. Av ye don’t believe It, ye can smell av me breath.*' His mouth is going all the time but he says he doesn’t like to have women play quoits with him for“there’s always Aveyards of tark, to wan play.” A few even­ ings ago someone persuaded him to take part in a game in which a ping of tobacco was laid on the deck. Then our friend and another man were blind­ folded and told that which ever one could take a pencil and mark nearest to the tobacco should have it. How­ ever, a* soon as they were blind-folded the boatswain picked up the tobacco and put it in his pocket. The two players made their marks and the caps which tbev had been blindfolded with were renxived. Then a shout went up for each man's face was as black as a cold wave signal. The caps had been full of soot. Each black face laughed heartily at tbe other not know­ ing that bis own was black too for some time. All hands seem to regard this joke as the acme of humor. At our table we have about twenty persons, most of whom are Scotch or Irish, going home on a visit and they are correspondingly happy. Jokes are cracked at each other which would knock down an ox But everybody takes it in good part and no one finds as much fault with wbat is said about him as be does about the food set be­ fore him. A few days ago someone told us that we would probably have to deflate tbe tires of our bicycles before they would let us lake them through the custom bouse at Glasgow. ilest we should have diamonds inside, suppose.) But Mr. Crawley turned pale and said, “My good turns, Shirley, if they are going to charge us duty on wind. I’m afraid we can never have you with us through Scotland." But I only smiled for I was used to it, and took some more bread. This bread has been tbe object of discussion for some time, some saying I should not turn my appetite louse on It, as they don’t know what tbe boat can do, If 1 eat all the ballast. 1 io tbelr native land -------man coutided to me at table tbe other day. that if I could only stay long enough in Scotland to get acquainted he was sure! would bring home for j want to at least) a Scutch girl for my | wife, and as be said tMs he gazed , proudly at the old lady at his side.” It does one gtxjd to see a cttaple like this i whom fifty years seem only, to hare! made more fond of each other. Not all our married couples are like this. A day or mi back, an excited female • voice rang through Lhe dining room above all tbe rattle of dishes, with ”1 guess I’ve got as much right to say what I think as you have. Didn’t I sell strawberries aud pay my share of the.ticket? Hey?"

Well, you must tell zem zat you 'have met a little Frenchman, who Isas slileeas he eez big, and who makes love to all ze ladies, wlzout wanting any uf zem.” That Is a spleadid description of this gay and happy gentleman, who re­ proached me yesterday because I did not do more “to entertain the ladles.” "I am almost forty,” be said, “and yet I have talked to almost every one on the ship.” He tells me how he is away to have pleasure and regain his health, that he forces all his galty, and that when he Is home he Is "so quiet zet 1 wouldn’t believe It waz ze same man." Well, maybe be is, but I doubt iL There has Just been a great commo­ tion on deck, caused by the sight ot a whale. I managed to see him "blow" once, but could not get a view of the old fellow*himself; yesterday I got a >io<m1 look atone. This morning scale porpoises plunged alongside of the sbin for a little way.

In opposition to them last-night we had a concert in the second cabin dining saloon. There was song af­ ter song of the shamrock and thistle, Irish melodics, mingling with Scotch airs, and when It was over and I went down stairs to turn in. 1 found Mr. Patrick McGuite.and Mr. James Wil­ son, thirty-nine years out from Irland, complaining to each other that no goofl American songs had been sung. “I tell ye, mon, I am as patriotic on sea as on land,” said Mr. W., and Mr. McGuire rejoined that be was too, and 1 felt they were right.

At the point where the publication closes he was obliged to bluntly inform the Russian Government that the United States could not acqui­ esce iu the operation of such foreign tri­ bunals in tlie United Suites. .Mr. Breck­ inridge’s preaeutatiou of the case war formally approved by Secretary Olney.

I-ac»-s and tulles are much used for ruches, lace and embroidery are frequently pleated inside high col­ lars, and chiffon la often employed ta ruches of the sort this third picture dis­ plays. This one Is white, and is worn with n'jMxlice of green voile rthosc yoke Is trimmed with white braid in the manner shown and finished on the lower eilge with IoojnhI soutache. It Is gathered Into a white braid belt that hooks Invisibly at the side, and has si wide box-pleat in the center ornament­ ed with two large st^el buttons. Braid garniture appears upon the sleeve puffs, nnd law frills ornament the wrists. Three rows of braid and one row of buttons are put upon tha skirt. Despite tho liking for the pompadour dressing, women's hair Is quite up to the standard of flufflness set by dress observances.' Not for years have fash­ ionable women expended so much care on tbelr hair as at present. Time wXfe when If you had a fluffy fring. d^a bang, nil was well, but now at least halt, the growtb-of hair on the head must be in perfect condition, or It Is Impossible to adapt It to the present styles. For the coiffure shown In front and back view here, the hair Is divided into two jiortlons. That for the knot includes the hair from tbe nape of tbe neck up to Just about tbe round of the bead to­ wards the top, nnd at the sides it Is confined to what grows back of a Hue well behind tfih ears. This portion cf tbe hair, though not neglected, h not subjected to the washing, airing, sun­ ning, comblug, brushing and general coaxing that the rest must get. This portion may be knotted with very little reference to tbe hair that grows for­ ward of the parting that limits the coil hair. For the girl whose hair Just simply will not grow In front, there Is nothing for It, If she must have new effect, but to cut more hair and to curl it all In loose rings, after the manner of the arrangement in the center of the pic­ ture. These rings can come low on the forehead, the central one almost be­ tween the eyebrows. The little hair left can Im? in loose knotted curls high on -the bead. This style suite many piquant faces, but H's a bother to keep in order. Copyright. 1AM.

A petbieied skeleton of a polmozotic saurian, thirty-three feet long, has just been discovered in a stalactite cave at the Cauinont quarries, between Rouen and Havre. A Babylonian tablet in the British xnusem which has just been de­ ciphered has an account of tbe death of King Sennacherib, almost identical with- that in the Bible (II. Kings, xix., •7). The first known coin is Chinese. It is copper, and specimens weighing from one to five pounds, and supposed to date from a period of at least two thousand years before Christ, are still in existence. The discovery of the tusks and mo­ lars of several great elephant* (Elephu primogenius qnd nntlquus) in the Charente, France, are among the larg­ est yet found in Europe. The big­ gest is nine feet.

Some little girl finds cept* it gratefully, but calmly. It recurs to tbe opinion-makers that since the No day was no great as the last day •f school Three months of study seem•d eternally long. Looked forward to from tbe beginning of tbe term it seem­ ed a simply impos­ sible distance. No pupil's conception could leap, across these Interminable days, weeks, months .and ages and distinguish the end of tbe term. Children grew skeptic, and felt sure there was nothing buU the present ever had been, and could not SAIi.on boy's . be. latst days of 'Otfiooi were dreams and fictions, or like ■- the moral* in the reading lessons. And as the days of embittering work went by how firm a hatred of the teach­ er grew up In each child’s heart. It was a certain thing he showed partiality. He couldn't work all the examples in the arithmetic, for John Rhinehart “slatted him" on one in partial pay­ ments. He made a mistake In gram­ mar, and *ald Hartford was on the Kennebec River. He made Jenny Drake si’ with the boys, when her mother forbade hte ever doing such a -thing, and he flogged Jimmy Thompson wnraercifully. But Just wait until Jim­ my’s big brother comes borne. There are good days and bad—mostly the latter. Lessons are broken off In. something like rations, nnd each day’s “stint" has to he done, for tbe class has started to get through tbe book, and there te no time to halt by the wayside. Pupils who cannot keep up must pro­ tend they are keeping up. The class .cannot be held back for them. Tho gait x>f tbe fastest ta the gait of the school. There was no grading as there ta now. . and there was no semblance of an ex­ amination. The teacher achieved a i>ost of tolora- • need correcting the little girl for ber error.

Every pupil is there very early on the last day of school, dressed .In his best and bringing tbe lit­ tle children—those too young to pay the regular price for tbe Joys of a "last day.” Several guests come from other “THE DEFENSE OF CATALINE.” Bchools. escorted by puplte of this, he house te very full al! tbe morning. The teacher Is dressed very much tin? same. Of course. What more.could be expect­ ed? Sometimes tjiey would have a teacher—if So-and-so had got the school.

In accepting the chairmanship of tbe R<*publlcan National Committee Mark Hann* ha* undertaken a big job. He will be one of the busiest men in the country during the next four months. Fortunately be Is of robust constitution. One of the chief duties of the campaign manager is to raise a campaign fund. Tbe greater part of the million dollars used 1h n national campaign belongs to the national campaign fund aud is dis­ tributed by the national chairman. It Is sent to tbe States where it ta most need­ ed and the national cliainnan must exerctac good judgment In the distribution of it, ft tbe party ta to achieve tbe best result*. In a great many campaigns money baa been spent uselessly In one State and withheld from another State where It would have done tbe party good. x In several States there is an elaborate system of canvassing and keeping a record of the doubtful voters. This work Is Collected by townships and then 1s entered In a largo book for the guidance of the State cotninittee. Tbe committee compiles a Itat of the doubt­ ful voters who may be 10,000 or even 20,000. To all these campaign litera­ ture ta sent and after a time a man ta assigned to see each of them and argue with him tbe necessity of voting the Republican ticket AD of this Involve* a great deal of expense. The missionaries as a rule do not lalior for nothing, and the clerical work ta costly. There are traveling expotses, the hire of horses and vehicles to drive thiougb the country, station­ ery and printing nnd postage. All these expenses arc legitimate nnd necessary for the conduct of a systematic cam­ paign. Then there .ire the expenses o£ campaign orators who receive in some cases also large salaries. Finally, there are campaign writer*. For the national committee nnd tho State committee as well keep on tbelr pay rolls many train­ ed newspaper mon. who furnish edito­ rials .t«> the press for the benefit cf the party in the campaign. There are other .uses ol money nut so legitimate, but recognized in doubtful States as neces«ary to one party taM^iuse the other par­ ty adopts them. The notional chair­ man also tats charge* of the candidate nnd regulates to a certain extent hta conduct nnd travels and no letters are given to the. public by the candidate without consulting with the manager. shortly thereafter removed to HllBote. and in Iri-tO was elected a represent­ ative in the Legtatature; before the ex­ piration of his term he was appointed Secretary of State and fulfilled tbe duties-of thedatw office for two years. Thereafter In tbe practice of his pro­ fession. bo soon became the peer of tbe moat eminent lawyers in the State and, as a recognition of this fact, he was, in 1848. elected one of the justices of the Supreme Court of Ilitnois, and in 1832 was re-elected for-nine years. In 18B8 he resigned from tbe supreme bench, aud in the following year was chosen to represent Ids' district in Congress. Before he bad taken bis scat the I/egl»lature elected him Uni tin! States Sen­ ator for six. years from March, 1855. He was re-elected In 1861 and again in 1867. making In all flgbteen consec­ utive years' service In the Senate. At the expiration of hte term of service in tbe Senate be resumed tbe practice of his profession In Chicago. With no man In our public life .to-day can Judge Trumbull he compared, bat in Intellee* tual force he may well be likened to En­ gland's grand old man, William Ewart Gladstone. In 1843 Judge Trumbull wns married to Miss Julia M. Jayne, of Springfield, wbo died In Washington In 1868. On Nov. 3, 1877, he married, in Saybrook. Conn., Miss Mary J- Ingraham.

"The consular service is tbe practical and business aide of our foreign In­ tercourse." writes ex-Prcs!dent Harri­ son In tire Ladles’ Home Journal. “There are more than twelve hundred persons In the consular sendee of the United States. These are located In tbe important commercial cities and towns of tiie world, and are described generally as Consuls General. Consuls, commercial agents. Interpreters, mar­ shals and clerks. The duties of a Consul are various and multifarious. He is the protector and guardian of American commerce: provides for des­ titute American aaltars'aud sends them home; be takes charge of tbe effects of American citizens dying in hta juris­ diction. having no legal representative; he receive* the declaration or protests of our citizens in any matter affecting their rights: he keeps a record of the arrival and departure of American ships and of their cargoes, and looks after vessels wrecked; he reports any new Inventions or improvements In manufacturing pnx?e«ses that he may observe, and all useful information re­ lating to manufactures, population, sci­ entific discoveries, or progress In the useful arts, nnd al! events or facts that may affect the trade.of the United Slates, and authenticates invoices'and statements of tho market value of mer­ chandise io be shipped to the United States. Every Consulate te a commer­ cial outpost; nnd if the service could be given permanence of tenure, and a corps of men of competent equip­ ment. It would become a powerful agency In extending our commerce." Puzzle—Find the Fisherman. JUDGE LYMAN TRUMBULL. A ONE-ACT DRAMA IS tion. Of course he was wrong, aud to be spoken ill of at all times. Thai l»cing fixed. puplte might safely treat him ■with cordiality now and then, and yet mot Imperil their standing In the school. It might even be admitted of him, in■deed. that he was. In some respect*. not much worse than the last winter's in­ cumbent. One thing In his favor was his ability as a ball player. Never was a teacher in the schoolhouse could, throw a ball as st might as this man. and nrae could catch as well, either, come to think. And be did write a good hand, to be sure, and could explain some things. BesldS, he did not act decent about tbe treats at Christmas. For it has taken somewhat more than lialf the term to work this grudging transformation. There is no retreating, (understand, from the settled position that this teacher Is simply bearable—no more. He la yet much the worst from all pointe of view that ever hung up his bat In the schoolhouse. He Is yet tbe common enemy. And just here cornea talk of the las: day of school. The girls begin It, with their plans for "an exhibition. ” Tbe talk grows. It consumes part of the time of study and a good many hours at home. The nearer approaches the end of tbe term the more fully Is study smcrillced to preparation for tbe last <lsy of school. Clearly It cannot be sule ordlnated to anything. Much as be is disliked, tbe teacher is solicited to aid. and fitting as refusal would have been tn^hls established character, his acquieecencc is received with applause. The weather gets warmer as "the Igst «dxy“ approaches. Indeed, one or two of tbe larger boys have liad to quit •choo) and go to work on tbe farm. It Is almost time to begin spring plowing.

They spill a drop of uitternoss Into the pupil's cup of bliss on this final day of a long com­ panionship. and they make promotion very dearly purchased. Of course they are good. Of course they are right. That bi cohceded by every teacher’s In­ stitute in forty commonwealths. But that, or the city style, or stage effects, or a’decorous absence on the part of parents or a promised departure on the part of the teacher has deprived crea­ tion of its "last day of school.*' Every one docs have such an excellent time playing, and the day Is so delight­ fully warm! Then come the exercises—“the exhi­ bition." The big giris have a curtuln stretched across the end of the room | nnd l>ehind it Is impenetrable mystery.

He was contemporary with the beginIng and the eml of the great anti-slav­ ery contest.

It is not, however, so good for the silo as corn, as the nitro­ genous material of which It Is composed heats too rapidly, making It as hard to Regulating the flow of water into troughs and tanks Is something which causes farmers more or less anxiety and trouble, for the reason that many of the patent regulators now In the market fall to work satisfactorily for any length of time. Many simple home­ made devices, however, can be made to work. Tbe one shown in the Illustra­ tion, which is from the American Agri­ culturist, has a number of strong points. BKGVLATOR FOB WATKB TROUGHS. The water pipe enters near the top of the tank, which places the valve out of water, thus relieving It of all danger from rust or the collection of sediment However, where necessary, tbe pipe may enter nearer the bottom of the tank, and if ti>e valve is kept clear the device will still serve its purpose. An­ other point In Its favor Is that. If deelred, tho valve can be closed just as . effectually when the tank Is one-fourth .full as when filled to the brim. Tho lower half of tho long, jointed lever connecting tbe valve and float has a shorter one attached to it, the upper end of the latter having a number of boles in it. By Laving a hole In the upper half of the jointed fever and using a pin, "the angle at the joint can be changed at will. Making it as large as possible will necessitate the float be­ ing lifted near the top of the tank liefore the valve is entirely closed, but by decreasing the angle the valve will be closed while the float Is still near the bottom. A sealed can or bottle makes a good float. A board or block of wood soon becomes soaked, and In conse­ quence its lifting power Is greatly diminished. Few of those who like the succulent green Lima beans know that they nre, if not equally good, at least supe­ rior to common field beans when dried for winter use. We used al­ ways when growing Limas to put up those tiiat we could not use green, and the winter supply was usually exhaust­ ed before spring. W»-‘ think a profit­ able, market for Lima beans In their dried state can be found In most cities or villages If farmers will tell their city friends how good they are. Lima beans have, even when dried, much of the rich, nutty taste that makes them popular when eaten green. There 1s another reason also for saving the late beans left at the end of the season for use In winter. They are quite often used for seed, with the result of mak­ ing the Lima bean crop each year a little later, so that in some places very few would be fit for use until frost came and nipped the vines. Tbe first fruits of anything, in which earliness Is Im­ portant should always be used for seed. A chicken house that can easily be moved about Is shown herewith. In sire It Is convenient for a hen and her chickens. Slats are vertical in front and far enough apart to allow decks to run In aud out. In front Is a base board, nailed to a bottom strip extend­ ed from each side, ou which chicks may be fed. It Is well to provide shade or shed rain by a board awning as shown. MOVA8LB C0K-KC8 BOVFr. A floor to tho coop is not necessary, as bens prefer to dust st will. As Northern farmers become better acquainted with the cow pea and its advantages, they are likely to largely use It In conjunction with and partial substitution for com as a fodder crop. It Is much richer than corn in nitro­ genous nutrition, and that is always the kind that is most, costly and hard to procure. Besides, the cow pea gets Its nitrogen as elover tides, friim air In the soil. It is one of the leguminous order of plants, all of which have this power. .

An editor asked a farmer to sub— scribe for bls paper. The farmer, an honest, square fellow said:— “I can’t afford to pay you 61.50 a year. I like the paper, but d am unable to put up the cash, sc that’s all there Is to It.” The editor noticing a number of chickens about the yard, said:— “IU send you tbe paper for a yfcar if you will agree to give me the products of one hen for the season, to be deliv­ ered about November 1st." The farmer replied,“I’ll do it, send the paper." z The season rolled' by. The paper was sent faithfully every Saturday and the editor had almost forgotten about the bargain. One;day, just before “freeze up," the farmer called at the printing office and was kindly greeted by the man of the quill. After talking about the weather, the crops and the roads for some time the farmer who seemed to be a little nervous, said: “Come out to the wagon, I have some­ th! ng for you." When they reached the wagon the editor was astonished to find a crate of fifteen large fat pullets and roosters which the farmer told him to lake to the barn. In addition he handed the editor a basket containing several doz­ en eggs. “There is the productof one hen forthe season, which according to our agreement last January belongs to you. The editor suggested to the farmdr that the chicken! and eggs must be worth much more than 61.50, and if so he would pay him the difference or credit him on next year'ssutacription. The farmer said: “1 was offered 63 for that bunch of chickens at the de­ pot and tho eggs are worth 5Q cents, but a bargain Isa bargain. Take the whnle outfit and give a receipt for one year.

The national convention of the Peo­ ple’s party was called to order in St. Doni* shortly after n<wn Wednesday by Chairman Taubeneck of tbe national com• The hall la which tbe Populists met was the same in which the national llepubli■can convention was held last month. There were the same arrangements as to swats. The State delegations were locut«d in the pit, each marked by » guidon. Tbe galleries reared themselves above tbe pit on all sides. The platform in front was Clanked by the press Iwiicbes, Th*t decorations were not elaborate and were practically" the same as those of the ILptiblican convention. The delegates be­ gan to come iuabefore 10 o'clock, but the spectators were slow in arriving.' Among tbe first to arrive wore the Kan­ sas delegation, with long, yellqvr ribbons on their breasts and many of them with sunflowers in their lapels. Ignatius Don­ nelly of Minnesota, short nnd round, with ills smn 11 bine eyes n-twinkle find his goodnatured tact' beaming, came in early nnd talked awhile with Sergeant-at-Anns MeDowell, who stood on the platform, sil­ ver baton lu baud, snrreying the final nr- FEICMAXF.XT CIIAtnUAN AT.TJ5N. rangements.

As t!-« air in the bait grew oppressive the delegates did uot hesitate to shed their' coots. There were several woman dele­ gates on the floor, among thorn Mrs. J. O. A. Bush'of PrescotL Arir..; Mrs. Jennie B. Athcrbold nnd Mrs. Iles of Colorado. Senator Alien received the first person­ al oration. The Texas delegation grew demonstrative.

She •waved her handkerchief frantienlly in re­ sponse oud the enthusiastic Texans crowded ut>out to shake her hand. She proved to be a Mrs. Jones of Chicago. The day for the opening of the two na­ tional conventions broke clear and bright —3u tanking contrast to the dark and drip­ ping skies which stretched n shadow over the preliminary days-«£ the convention*. The I’opuiiat crowds were abroad early. The crowd's in the corridors of the hotels where tbe delegates’ headquarter* were located wore dense and noisy, but there was a striking absence of the brass bands which at the conventions of tbe old par­ ties jarred tbe air with their dash and <lnmor, • Before 10 o’clock the crowds and dele­ gates began moving in steady streams toward tbe convention hall. Bryan and the “middle-of-the-road ” factions were both girded for the fray, nnd both claim­ ed the victory. The first test ol strength was eagerly looked forward to. Welcomed by Governor Stone. It wax just 12^57 when Chairman Tanbeneck cnltad the delegates to order. Rev. IL Hill Smith invoked the divine blessing, after which Gov. Slone was introduced, who, as tbe chief executive of Missouri, and not ns a member of the Democratic national committee, made an address wel­ coming the People’s party to St. Ixmk. Gov. Stone only hinted at the past differ­ ences of opinion let ween the Democrat* and Fopolists, and hoped that in the future they would uqite for the welfare of the country. This allusion to a Bryan indorsement set the Nebraskan's friend* on the floor to cheering. Ignatius Donnelly replied to the Gov­ ernor's address in behalf of the conven-’ tion. Mr. Donnelly made a “middle-ofthe-road" speech, iu which he mentioned tbe names of Uncoln, Jackson, Washing­ ton and Jefferson, thereby arousing entiuuinsm. He paid an earnest tribute to the People’s party, and, itt brief, detailed Sts doctrines, wfatoh. he claimed, seek to <rray tbe people against those who would swek to deprive them of their rights. Mary Ellen lx*ase came into tbe hall as Mr. Doo nel lr tint shed his address and was greeted with cheers. She was in­ vited to a seat on tbe platform.

The Senator closed with at) ardent ap[>cal to the convention to stand together, no matter what might be the result of its deliberations.^ The only routine business transacted by the convention was the formation of the usual exumittcc, after which an adjourn­ ment wan taken until S o'clock.

Through sotnciiody's umfssion’ no provlrfiun was made for lighting the hall, and when the delegate* and spectator* assembled there the interior of the big auditorium was dark. Tin- telegraph companies sent for a supply uf tallow candle*, with which they lighted the tables of their operator*. They also furnished candle* to the news­ paper correspondents, nnd the tinkering lights biirninfe in the two press sections were the only illuminations in the hall. They served to throw fantastic shadows across the floor whore the delegate* wore avsoinbled. but were not strong enough to enable the convention tn proceed with business.

In bls speech he urged the silrerites to support the nom­ inee of the Democratic party. ’ “The Democratic party,” Mr. Newlands said, “has declared fih: the free nnd.nnlitnitcd coinage of silver nt a ratio of 10 to 1 without waiting for international action.

There is every indication now that th* crop of tbe country will equal tbe enor­ mous crop of last year, wiiich was 2.151,­ 139,000 bushel*. That was the largest crop the United States hue produced for many years. The crop of 1894 had only been 1.212,000,000 bushels, and it was but a trifle more in 1893 and 1892. In 1891 it reached beyond 2,000,000 COO oushcla. The extent of the corn crcp of the Unit­ ed States this year is about 1,000,000 acres less than It was lust year. Then'It was 82.000,000 acre*.

Two fatal accidents occurred on the Brush farm, near Darien Centra. John Schrader, the hired man, fell from a load of bay with his pitchfork in his band. In some way be fell on the tines, which passed entirely through his body. He lived but a short time. Before the new* of this casualty reached the owner of the 'farm be was mowing hay in his orchard with a mowing machine. His 12-year-old son was pear by. Farmer Brush called to him' to come and bold up the low-hang­ ing bough of a tree so be could drive un­ der it. The boy held it up. but stood so close that as the machine passed him the knives an that end of the cutter bar struck him, cutting off both his feet at the ankle. He died three hours later. Ethel Rice, aged 9, was watching her brother, John, run a mowing machine In a field near the house. John stopped the horses where ahe stood, dismounted from the machine, and told Ethol to hand him the wrench, which lay near. The little girl got the wrench, and stepped up near tbe machine, getting between the cutting forks, and handed it to her brother. As he was reaching for It tbe horses started. The qnickly shifting knives caught the child and cut off both her legs near the knees. At Bedford. Pa., on Thursday, Joseph field.

It was shortly before 8 o’clock on the night of Monday, June 16. that dweUff* near the, coast heard a strange sound that came out from the sea, swelling on the calm evening air. The dreaded tsunami <sea wave) was not altogether new to some of those who were so soon to become its victims. But it is asserted that the jieople were exceedingly alow to realize the immensity of the danger that threat­ ened them. •Tsunami!" cried n terrorstricken fisherman, and ‘Tsunami!** pass­ ed the echoing wail swiftly from man to man until the silent fishing hamlets rang with the cry. Mad with terror that lent speed to their’ flying reet, the dwellers forsook their frail, thatched huts, nn-1 rushed for the bluffs topping the sleeping villages. .

That’s the way tbe money goes. LEGAL-TENDER QUALITY OF SIL­ VER MONEY. Sliver dollars are a legal lender for any amount. In an article on “Unit­ ed States Coinage Laws" appearing in The Record of Wednesday it was stat­ ed that by the legislation of 1873 the legal-tender quality of silver coins was limited to 85 which limit was later raised to 810. From this statment the conclusion has been drawn by some correspondents that silver is still a legal tender for only a limited amount. The act of 1873, which dispensed with the coinage of the silver dollar, did not deprive that coin of its legaltender quality. The limitation re­ ferred to applied only to coins speci­ fied in the act, of which the standard silver dollar was not one. The next year, however, in a revision of the statutes, occurs the provision that "the silver coins of the United States shall be a legal tender, at their nomi­ nal value, for any amount not exceeding 85 in any one payment." As this state­ ment was general in its character, it applied to the standard stiver dollar an well as to the minor coinage. By the act of February, 1878, com­ monly called' tbe Bland-Allison act, silver dollars were again made legal tender, “at their nominal value, for all debts and dues, public and private, except where otherwise expressly stip­ ulated in the contract." This is stlll_ the law. The Record has been asked if the coinage of the silver dollar was slop­ ped by tbe repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman act of 1893. It was not. The Sherman law, which authorized the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, also pro­ vided that the secretary of the treas­ ury should coin 2,000,000 ounces of sil­ ver a month until July 1, 1881, after which dale beshouid coin so much as might be necessary to brovide for the redemption of treasury notes. This portion of the Sherman law relating to coinage is still In effect, and under its authority silver dollars have been and are now being coined. The coinage value of silver bullion In tbe treasury July 1 1896, was 8119, 053,695. After this bullion shall be exhausted the secretary of the treas­ ury will have authority to purchase more bullion for coinage purposes un­ til such authority shall be conferred upon him by law.—Chicago Record.

Sunday morning services 10.30 Offers to -supply Thp Newis 1th Evidence for Its Libel Sult. If the Reverend James Connolly gets fifty thousand dollars from the editor of The News, he ought to get at least a hundred thousand from Joseph Bert Smiley, the editor of the Galesburg Enterprise, who is known among the newspaper* fraternity of Michigan as the poet editor. Messrs. Connolly and Slrubel held meetings at Galesburg In February of 1895, and Mr. Smiley possibly had an opportuni­ ty to learn something of bls character. In his paper of last Saturday he gives a clipping from one of- his exchanges, and adds some pithy comments of his own, as follows: Rev. Jam** Connolly, who conducted evanxellattc services here two or three rear* •KO In conjunction with Rev. Wallace R. Stru­ ble, Is now In trouble with the Nashvju.b News. Editor Felghner averred. In an' item in Tub Nbwb, that Connolly was ‘••morally rotten" and that hl* presence is a pollution to any Christian congregation and no woman q •ate from Insult while be is around.” Con­ nolly threaten* a suit for libel but bad not yet served papers on Friday.—Exchange. We will add to the above that the Revsrend James Connolly is a fraud, a hypocrite, a drunkard, a libertine, and a most accomplished If Connollr sue* the Nashville News for libel, we will furnish proof that be is a bad egg. '’Moral); rotten." docs not properly de­ scribe his case. The Nashville News ts on the right track. Wade Into him again Brother Felghner. This places Connolly In a much worse light than ever. Mr. Smiley can have no 'personal spite or preju­ dice against Connolly. The editor of The News certainly has none, though it has been so claim©! by certain par­ ties, Connolly being <me of them. We care nothing about the man. one way or the other, but simply,claim that If he wants to continue preaching the gospel he should change the manner of bls private life. He should also pay his debts and not lie a dead beat, which he undoubtedly now is. He owes one man In Nashville In tbu neighborhood of *25 for goods pur­ chased while he was here, and the man has been unable to collect a cent of it. They had no occasion to leave debts In Nashville, for they were cer­ tainly well paid here. That they made money here everybody knows. Then why not pay their honest debts like men? There's no denying the fact that this man Connolly h; a man totally un­ fit In every way for the work in which he is engaged, and even the people who criticise The News for exposing him know it. That he makes many converts Is uotto be denied, but that does not excuse his lasciviousness, nor does It justify churches in employing him after they know bls true charac­ ter. We feel that the Methodist church of Nashville was--Imposed upon by this scoundrel and buncoed out of what money they paid him for his services, no matter how satisfactory his work wa«. His language is that of a bar-room loafer, ana his methods those of a street fakir. He Insulted respectable people from the pulpit while In Nashville and signed his name to a bare-faced lie to escape the consequences of it. Such a man should not be upheld by honest peo­ ple, no matter what garb be wears, and we believe It is the duty of news­ papers to expose them as they would any common swindler pr confidence man. And the newspaper should be upheld for doing its duty In exposing him. One evening last week a couple of youngsters and their company visited the cemetery quite late, and by 1mEroper use of reel In the gateway, roke it. It will be best lor them to call on the cemetery coiumltte at once and settle the damages to save them­ selves farther trouble. The cemetery committee say that hereafter any meddling, damaging ormarrfng of any property or fixtures on the cemetery grounds will tie punished under the law for such offences without further notice. Frank Me Derby will move bls gro­ cery stock into Kocher Bros.’ new buliding about September first, and will have one of the finest stores in town to Mo business in. Geo. W. Francis & Son will move in the Ful­ ler store now occupied by Mr. McDerby. There is a rumor that a new grocery firm will occupy the store In the Yates block, where Francis & Son now are, but we arc reliably informed that no arrangements of this kind have as yet been made. F. A. Streeter, who has been In the employ of Truman & Banks for sever­ al years, will resign shortly and move to Battle Creek, where he will enter into partnership with J. Ed Warbur­ ton, formerly of Maple Grove, In the grocery business. Mr. Streeter and family have made many friends since coming to Nashville, who will be sorry > u> see them leave here, but whose , good wishes will accompany them to their new home.

Beside-* Dr. .Inmeson, the defendants were: Major Sir John Wil­ loughby, Col. R. Grey. Col. H. l'\Wbite. Major R. White and Captain Henry F. Coventry. Dr. Jameson was sentenced to fifteen months’ Imprisonment without labor. Hit John Willoughby to'ten months’ imprisonment, Major R. White'to seven months'-imprisonment and,Captain Hen­ ry F. Coventry, CoS. R. Grey and CoL H. F. White to five months’ imprisonment each. The court was packed with people. Lord Russell'* remarks were distinctly hostile to the defendants. He began hy pointing out that there was no doqbt the prisoners had taken part in or abetted the proceedings at Pitsani and Mafeking. where the invading forces were mustered preparatory to entering the Transvaal. There was no doubt the expedition was of n military character, nnd whether* it was aimed to overthrow the Transvaal government or to force a change of the laws in the interests of others, it was equally an expedition against a friendly State. _______ i FILIBUSTERS GIVEN | WARNING.

Cutworm* and White Grub*. The cutworm is commonly confused With the wliife grub, and is In many cases mistaken for the jrrub. The adult of the cutworm Is a moth, aqd lays Its eggs mostly in grass and other places. The larva or worm feeds upon grass and leaves of other plants—oometltnes the roots—until full grown, when It enters the ground to transform, nnd In a few* days or weeks the adult moth emerges. The moths are of various colors, and are quite common during the summer months. They are night flyers, and hide during the day in grass and other places. They measure about one to one and one-half Inches across the wings, and nre commonly called millers. The white grub, on the other hand. Is the larva or worm hatch­ ed from eggs laid’by the June or May beetles. The eggs are usually laid in ■grass, where they batch In about a VABir.O ATER CUTWORM, a. Larva: t>. moth. month, and the little grubs feed upon the rootlets of various plants for the first year. They burow down Into the ground from IS inches to two feet, where they remain over winter. Dur­ ing the second year the grub eats near tho surface, and does great damage on account of its size and larger appe­ tite. They spend the winter as before, the third year they reach maturity. passes Its transformation in in the earth, aud the ma­ in the spring. The chestnut brown beetle, the head often black, and the breast s o m etlmes covered yellowish hairs. The body *—is about an Inch long, and the beetles are rapacious feeders. They appear in May and June, buzzing about certain trees at night. It Is not an uncommon thing Just at dusk. In May or June, to see thousands of beetles swarming about trees. They feed upon the leaves, and often defoliate large numbers of trees. Summing up, then, the adult of the white grub Is the May or June beetle, nnd that of the cut­ worm, a delicate moth. Grubs usually feed upon roots, and remain below the surface, while cutworms feed upon leaves and other foliage, eating at night and hiding during the day under anything tliat will conceal them. When these inseejs are numerous they are difficult to combat over large areas. In gardens, cutr worms mny b<- dtb troy cd by strew­ ing bunches of green grass, cloven c a b b age leaves, etc., between , rows and sifr.qkllng with par’s green in’ solution— wnivx c.nrn. a tcaspoonful to a pall of water. If this is done before the crops are plant­ ed, or the seeds have come up. many of the young worms may be destroyed before they cJh do any harm. In a small way tomato, cabbage and other plants can be protected by encircling their stems close to the ground with bauds of tin or tarred paper. Rota­ tion of crops may often be advanta­ geous with field crops.—American Agri­ culturist Fodder Corn for Cow». There is no advantage In feeding corn that has been sown for fodder until it gets into the tasselling stage. Cows will not eat it unless half starved, and for the very go°d reason that It contains do nutrition. The conr tliat is best for fodder is that which bits bad enough room to grow so that it can set an car If nothing more than a nubbin. - The Jukes of com rapidly Increase In sweet­ doss as the corn approaches the earing stage, and they are then nutritious feed. Plowing After K«rty Pear. Ail who have grown peas know bow Inevttably.ofter the early crop has been gathered. we«*<ls which have sprung up between and in the rows make aston­ ishing progress, and unless plowed un­ der win soon outgrow everything else. know the reason now ia the fact that the pea roots underground luvn Ixmid decomposing the nl'r nnd putting Its nitrogen In available form. .This nitrogenous fertility, though made without coat Is far too valuable to be wasted on weeds. If the pea vines are of the dwarf varieties that do not need to be bushed, they may be profitably plowed under where their decay will still, further increase soil fertility. It la a good preparation for some late crop, on turnips or late cabluige, to plow, under pea vines and plant the new crop over them. It needs only sufficient moisture to make this second crop n success, as the peas while growing have provided the nitrogenous plant food re­ quired. Kg* Taint in-r in Cellar*. Most farmers put the eggs down cel­ lar lu summer time, as lielng the cool­ est place they can find for them. This is all right if the cellar has been duly cleaned, whitewashed and ventilated, soon to keep its air pure. But there are conditions in which eggs In cellars will spoil quite ns quickly as In a warmer room upstairs. The egg shell.is porous. It there nre odors of decaying vegeta­ bles or of tainted meat in the nlr, they will penetrate the egg. While the germ will not begin to develop a chick at the cellar temperature, the presence of tainted air In contact with the egg will cause it to lose Its flavor almost at once, and soot) become as bad as it Is possible for an egg to be. In such cases the chick dies and Its own decay makes the egg worse than It would otherwise lie. Eggs for keeping ought never to be fertilized. The cocks should cither be killed1 off or confined so.tbey cannot get to the hens after midsummer. In this way much trouble will be saved. The hens will lay more eggs, and eggs thus produced Infertile can be'easily kept until winter and sold at winter prices. Fnpport for Kerry Buahe*. Wire is very commonly used ns a sup­ port for raspbeny nnd blackberry bush­ es. tills being of necessity very stout and very finely braced. But 'thte does not suffice to keep the wire stiffly in place. Where wires nre stretched along each side of a row already, they can be made much more efficient by tying them. together with cross wires every ten feet or so. This pulls them together nnd keeps the bushes upright and in place. Where there Is no support at present and support It to be given the bushes, the plan shown In the diagram can be followed to advantage. Light wooden strips of Inch-square stuff are held up by stakes of the same material and rigidly attached to each other by cross wires. These cross wires are the most Important part of the whole, for they nre constantly pulling the bushes up into close quarters—the one thing for which supports nre desired. New Varieties of Wheat. The wheat blossom usually fertilizes itself, and for this reason now varieties nre rarely originated, except by sports, | But the crossing of different varieties may bo done artificially by taking off the stamens from one ear, aud care­ fully depositing on tho blossom the pol­ len of n different variety. It is not best to try to cross widely dllfercnt varie­ ties, as these would be only mongrels. This seems to be the origin of some new varieties of wheat which are partly bold and partly bearded. Some have thought these were distinct varieties, but a farmer who saved seed of each separate, and sowed both, fnnnd that the bald nnd bearded beads appeared In both lots, though the majority of the grain was of the kind sown. Farm Note*. It Is stated that in Minnesota the sun­ flower is raised for fuel, nn acre fur­ nishing a year** supply for a family, the heads, seeds and stalks all being burned. To produce cattle, fat and large at the least expense, feeding must begin ’with the calves. They should be taught to eat while they ore drinklng-mllk. Keep oats In a trough near them. Their fu­ ture growth depends largely upon the care given them the first year. It takes no more feed, when property and regu­ larly given, to keep calves fat all their lives than to half way do it. One of the most useful appliances on a farm, aud which costs but very little compared with.the many uses to which it can be put, is the windmill. It grinds food, provides water for stock aud can be used for irrigating small plots. They are dow being adapted for purposes of Irrigation on many large farms, two or more windmills being sufficient to fill a large reservoir and keep a constant supply of water. Too many acres on a farm Is claimed ns one of the curses the farmer lias, be­ cause he must cultivate more land than Is necessary In order to obtain a crop that might be got from less land upon which all of the manure can be advan­ tageously spread; but too much hind Is no worse an Infliction then too much stock of an Inferior kind, yet hundreds of farmers feed animals that give no profit liecause they will not procure food breeds and grade tip their stock.

Gladstone ran about in pantalettes With frills to them nnd probably trundled a hoop, while Lord Salisbury had not as yet come into existence. The Duke of Wellington was fresh from his triumphs at Waterloo, and Daniel Webster was in the zenith of his fame. Feb. 10. 1840, Victoria married her cousin. Prince Albert of Snxe-CoborgGothn, . with whom she had long been deeply in love. It proved, ns every one knows, a most happy union. During their twenty-one years of married life they were blessed with nine children—four sons and five daughters. George LIL is the only English sovereign who has occu­ pied the throne for a longer period than Queen Victoria. During the fifty-nine years of Queen Victoria's rule the popu­ lation of the mother country has increas­ ed from something under twenty-six mil­ lions to close on forty-five millions, and that of the colonics has steadily grown from fon^millions to seventeen millions.

After a short visit to New York, Mr. Hanna decides that there Is no silver baron under the bed. Well, this will save millionaire Aaron T. Bliss a lot of hard work and worry during this hot weather. If the sliver forces persist in flying a kite with two tails, they need be pre­ pared for more or less tangling. Of what avail Is it to have a man of riches on the ticket if be refuse to give substantial token of the riches? It's too bad for Bliss, after Ms man­ ly stand of two years ago, to get the icy hand.

The populists are given four of the electors and the dem­ ocrats four, the ninth one going to the silver republicans. In no other state has such a successcessful attempt at fusion been made. If the silver forces in other states can unite as effectively as they have in Minnesota they will make a yery for­ midable showing against the, republi­ can ticket. But the fact seems to be that fusion Is not working so well in other places. In one state the ob­ stacle to harmony Is one thing, in an­ other it Is something else. In Illinois, for instance, the difficulty is that the democrats already have named their state ticket, and are not willing to re­ move any of the candidates in order to make room for a populist.—Chicago Record □OLD AND SILVER.

Pedal mauagetneut, tortal color­ ing aud the science of. harmony ore all better understood through a knowledge of the properties of acoustics, A knowledge •of the anatomy of the hand, wrist, fore and tipper arm gives the student greater facility in individual muscular control. In consequence of the control thus gnin-ed. the whole ahn becomes more expres­ sive. A crispiy-legsiero effect can best •be produced by euergixing the muscles of rihe upper arm aud those of the fingers, •while relaxing the wrist muscles. This ’as a very Important point, and is simply the application of the mechanical prin­ ciple of the resistance being equal to the forte of the blow. The outer side-of the hand is naturally weaker than the inner side, yet it is just as essentia! a factor in playing. The melody and fundamental bass mitt's are most frequently played with tbe weakest fingers: hence the neccMity of building up the outer region of the hnnd. A de­ velopment of the pronator muscles in the forearm renders |>ossibl<* a good position of the hajid for playing octaves, arpeg­ gios, scales, chords and trills with the fourth and fifth finger*. Rolling octave playing is dependent upon a separated control of the supinator aud pronator muscles from those of the huger*. Si»eed requires tbe shortening of the latent pe­ riod of the muscle, and this can be accom­ plished only by taking up ttie alack of the tendons. The principal mnarie concern­ ed in producing n crisply staccato effect with finger act ion. is tbe extensor, aa upon this muscle depends the brevity of tone. By elevating tin? Wrist, curving the second finger, nnd depressing it at tbe knuckle joint, tbe finger is in the beat possible po­ sition for producing the effect. The physiology of velocity playlcg Is a subject of great interest tn the practical olauo teacher. In sc mt persons rapidity The three attributes of tone nre foree. pitch and quality. Force is dependent upon the amplitude of lhe vibrations. Pitch is dependent upon the vibrational number—the greater tile number the high­ er the pitch. From these facts we d’e­ duct principle? of study which nre prac­ ticable to nn Intelligent student of piano playing. Tho overtones of tones sound**! in the upper registers are of such great vibrational number thut the ear fails to establish a definite pitch for them. Then, again, tbe waves of such tones nre so short that they vanish almost immediate­ ly after sounding; therefore the pedal, which permits the tone to be re-enforced, may be used,' more freely in the upper i register than In the middle or lower. One tone sustained by the pedal in tbe middle is equal In intensity to about four in the upper register. It Is possible by n deli­ cate manipulation of -Che pcdnl to oblit­ erate, the discordant harmonics in the upper, without losing nn organ paint in the lower register,’ which sometimes of necessity must "be sustained by the i>edal. A point which is of equal importance with the manner of striking is ^hnt of the manner of leaving the keys, for upon this hinges the entire system of legato octave playing. Wide skips, such ns a baas note nnd its chord, and broad intervals either in the accompaniment or melody, may be made to sound legato without the use of the pedal, by releasing the finger from the key slowly, thus damping the tone grad­ ually. Many beautiful effects may be produced by thia use of the pedal. All movements of tbe body nre cither natural, habitual or hereditary. In cer­ tain states of consciousness w<> bring into piny certain muscles just ns naturally ns water seeks its lowest level, it is fur this reason that a pupil in sometimes taught to play a passage with widely differing movements of the hand nnd arm by dif­ ferent teachers. Thus it not infrequently happens that nn instructor sen tiers broadcast over the In nd. through his pu­ pils, |>eculinr manner isms which he in- • bcrited. from his ancestors. It may readily be seen that this is radically wrung, nnd that such would not be the case were nil teaching lw»s«xl on philosophic principles. In playing the piano habits will neces­ sarily l»e formed, and movements based on the natural lawn of expression of the body are more easily ncquinxl. and. when acquired, enable us to express musical thoughts more clearly and more forcibly than habits formed nt hap-hnxnrtl. Tech­ nic, as applied to piano playing, is the power to express musical though:*. This involves not only the ability to play the proper notes with correct fingers, but re-, quires such control of the mnsclcw ami nerves that all gradations of tonal color­ ing may be expressed. Plano playing fans been compared to au electric current—thtncalcal thought emanates from the brain, paws through the nerves which move tbe.muscles to be used. tbe finger strikes tho key, the hammer strides a wire, which in its turn produces ti torfe. the ear con­ veys the tone back to the brain, thus completing the circuit. Wenk or slug­ gish muscles, therefore, not readily yield­ ing themselves to tbe nervous stimulus flooring from the brain, will break the cir­ cuit and tbe musical phraae will fall short of tbe ideal conception. In piano playing the purely mental in­ tellectual phrase finds its expression iu the circumscribed movements of the fin­ gers nnd baud, using the knuckles or wrist ns the center of motion. Passages from Bach’s “Fugues nud Inventions" admira­ bly illustrate this statement. Au emo­ tional phrase demamls more freedom of movement, which the tinunraa of the el­ bow—the emotional center—and length of the forearm readily supply. Climaxes aud passionate outbursts of musical feel- raves, chords. arpeggios, scales cmWlhthmsute—ubd these are again subdi­ vided. Octaves are of five varieties, namely, legato, staccato. blbken, inter­ locking and deceptive. Ghord* nre either broken or solid. In artier ’to play an ar-| l>eggio properly it inns: be taught in ten or twelve different way*. and the pupil will then understand how -to eom-ctiy practice' all Arpeggios. 1 usually .teach the principle* . of arpeggios before at­ tempting M-nica, ns the movements of the arm. wrist nud fingers arc very ranch Uut same in both, and are more easily compre­ hended in the former than in the latter. Under tbe head of embellishments 1 In-" elude till varieties of trillii, mordents nnd nppoglnturaH. I consider the wrist the dbHriTmting center for tbe energy of the upper and forearm. It is imp<3Bsibk' for the nerv­ ous stimnlus from the brain to be properly conducted to the finger tips when the many tendon* that pass through tbe wrist are tense. Almost every pupil beginning the stndy of the piano has some uncon­ scious mannerism or trick peculiar to film­ self of using tbe agents of expression. Before eradicating these bad .habits nnd building up those which are correct, n certain condition of passivity ur relaxa­ tion must be achieved, just as the pot­ ters’ clay must be rendered soft and plas­ tic before it can lie modeled into the de­ sired form*. I find for this purpose the Delsartean exerclm* known as relaxing or devitalizing of inestimable value to the beginner aud advanced student alike. We can utter so many words with one breath, and when that is exhausted we must draw upon tbe reservoir—the air— for another supply.

This mau saw tbe collision coming nud leaped from tho cab nn instant before the crash. Almost at the same instant tbe engine cut Its way through and caught him directly in its path. HU body nnd that of Farr were found under a heap of debris, hut the engineer lay in what re­ mained of tbe cab nnd his right hand still grasped the throttle. He bad been faith­ ful unto genth and met it at Ills post. Tbe fireman on the train had leaped a few seconds before and escaped with trifling Injuries. The excursion train was made up of fifteen cam, the foremost‘of wnich was a baggage car. This nnd the next two coaches caught the full force of the crash and were utterly demolished.

This wax not a ixillticwl organization, hut it spread al th the most astonishing rapidity th rough the western and' southern por­ tions of the country. The popularity of this movement canned the organization of a large utunU'r vf similar societies and nil of them grew nummcally and acquir­ ed some [Militlcal power. An effort wan made to unite all these various organization*, nnd at the meeting held iu St. Ixiuis in a consolidation way effcctid and the name of the "Fann­ ers’ Alliance and Industrial Utiion” was adopted.

"This couventioij was followed by an­ other. held in Cincinnati on May 10,1801, nt which were 1.418 delegates from thirty States and territork-s. ’At tMs meeting the Oca In platform was -reaffirmed and the nam\- of the ‘•Pefipte’s party” was given to the organization. A third na­ tional convention was he!«I in St. Louis on the 22d of February. 1802, at which little of an Important character was don'e. The first nomlnntltu; convention wgg held at Oninlia July 4. 18U2. composed of 1.29(i delegated. No great change was made in the platform, but the income tax and jMiKtal savingx hank* were demanded.

A newer sort that has suddenly come Into vogue Is the short box coat tliat Is bobbed off all around well above tbe waist line and that hangs without a fold and without the slightest shap­ ing to the figure. It should give the effect of being stiff an a board, and is Intended to emphaytize by contrast tbe slenderness and.rfie yielding curves of tbe figure beneath. Such a coat Is usu­ ally ojicn entirely in front, nud Is elab­ orated by much liefrilled wide re vers of a contrasting material, the sleeves being made to correspond with the rev­ ere. A few cents are shown made like a basque, tbe bodice fitting the figure to well below the waist line and slop­ ing to a rounded point front aud back. .Coat skirts are set under the back, standing out well, and extending in flat hip pieces at the sides. The trou­ ble with this coat Is that It makes the whole figure seem bulky. The charm that every one trie* to suggest now Is that of girlishness of form, and an outand-out coat does not do It. This apiiearance of bulk Is not creat­ ed by many jacket an<l coat effects, and the numbpr of different designs that are possible is so great tliat It Is not yet nearly exhausted, so these sug­ gestions of coats—some of theni very slight—are still plentiful among new dresses.

They do not proceed openly or violently, but seek by lutrigue to prevent the embarkation of more Span­ ish tr<»ops for Cuba. - Trouble ot a seri­ ous nature is beln* fomented In Spain, jiartlcnlarly in the Province of V«Wbci.i, by agents of the Cobas insurgents. The minister of the interior, Scnor.Coa-Gayon, replying to a question in the chamber ot deputies, admitted that a number of riots bad occurred in Valencia and, when asked to explain the cause of the disturbance*, said they were caused by friend* of the Cuban Insurgents, who hoped thereby to prevent the departure of further rein­ forcements of troop* for Cuba? Hitherto the popular demonstrations have been at­ tributed entirely to protest against the imposition of new taxes—a step made nec­ essary by the financial strain the govern­ ment ha* l»een subjected to through car­ rying on the campaign against the insur­ gent* of Cuba. But, while the govern­ ment is only willing to admit that the riot* have been instigated by the agents of the Cuban revolutionist*, it is generally admitted that the root* of the trouble are much deeper, and that il ls being nourish­ ed by the natural feeling of alarm and dismay at the apparent utter inability of the government to cope with the situation, in Cuba. That the large Spanish army iu Cuba must be still further nnd heavily reinforced is looked* upon a* being a confeksibn of weakness upon the part of the administration und ns sn admission of the growing strength of the Cubans. In addition, many letter* have been re­ ceived in different parts of Spain by the relatives of Spanish soldiers serving with the army In Cuba, and they tell rt<ch ter rible tales of sickness, privation. .Incom­ petency and mismanagement, to say noth­ ing of lack of pay, that a dangerous feel­ ing against the government has arkc:i and is gaining strength day by day.

A stunted calf means an inferior cow or steer. It Is less trouble to wean tbe calf at the start and feed It than to allow it to suck and welnlt at the end. Generally the more docile the calf the better milker will be the cow. The dairy farm should grow contin­ ually richer, and it will do so very read­ ily if proper management is given. In making butter for the best market It is essential to secure uniformity In color, In texture, in saltingjiud In pack­ ing. leaving no salt in the butter. . If the cow Is not free from dincase care of the utensils will not prevent the germs of disease from entering through the milk. It Is by no means a question of thor­ oughbreds,- as all fairly good cows will make good cream, from which good -butter can be made, when tbe care and conditions are right.

Setting of milk In wells Is so common that this device ought to be generally used by dairymen with from one to four cows.—M. J. Mallett In Farm and Home. The scarcity of good hands for the farm in many parts of the country has been the subject of much comment, but no way has been devised to supply the demand at a fair rate of wages, de­ spite the fact that the cities and towns are filled with able-bodied men who are anxious for some means of earning a livelihood. The truth Is-that these men. wilting as many of them xflMpubtedly are. do not make good farm hands. Three or four decades ago. when muscle was one of the great requirements for farm work, any man with a broad back and brawny arms could be utilized on the farm to good advantage, but now It takes more skilled Inixir to run a farm, and men who have not learned the trade are next to useless. We want more farmers these days and fewer roustabouta. We never see the groups, the hun­ dreds of idling mon and boys on the street corners, without thinking, “Oh. the pity of it!" The most of them are bright endugh and quick enough to learn, and would make good farm la­ borers if they could once be caught and retained nnd wooed away from the city savagery and shiftlessness. We need a school of agriculture—a practical Institution for just such fel­ lows as these—boys that would not want to be professors and editors, lec­ turers and the like, but who would be willing to apply the knowledge ac­ quired In gaining a llvellh.xnl for them­ selves on the farm.—Colman's Rural World. i Square boxes with open tops and sep­ arated by cleats nailed across the cor­ ners so as to allow air to circulate over them are batter than barrels to store applea In. We saw some recently In | the fruit cellar of a horticultural friend, j saya the C’nitlvator. The apples are ! put into these boxes In the orchard, load- i ed into wagonH. and are drawn to the cellar, where they are plied one above the other, nearly to the celling. Tbe boxes are made to hold a full bushel each, and can be easily handled with­ out disturbing the fruit. There la great ■ Jnjury to fruit even from tbe most care­ ful'handling. When the bloom Is off,. It can never be exactly what it was be­ fore. The square boxen rake Iwui room tlinn the same quantity of apples would In barrels, and ore much better Gian if put in bins, where tbe natural heating of the apples piled one upon the other Jnduces rot. which once started quickly spreads. The boxes are made of solid Ixmrds, and are, therefore, heavier ns well as more costly than the boxes used ta harvesting potatoes. Expensive Marketing. Never before did freight. commission and other charges between the pro­ ducer and the consumer demand such a large projiortlon of the products of the farm, well says the National Stock­ man. Freights have been higher than they are now, and other expenses have been greater also, but products were bringing more money and the percent­ age exacted was'loss. 'The proportion dem-iaded now by earners and hand­ lers of farm products Is about as high as can be endured, r.nd it is to be hoped for tbe interest of all panics that no attempt will be made to change rates save to reduce them. This is no time to put obstacles In the way of trade, and those who do so by increasing charges or otherwise are pursuing a policy which, sooner or later, will react u their own Injury. Boos, small fruit and poultry make a good combination. Golden rod gives a rich, thick honey of a golden color. The queen bee Is the only perfectly developed female in the hire. A young queen is more liable to pro­ duce a working progeny, nnd an old one drones. It is best to construct the size of tbe hive to suit the size of the colony. This can be done by the use of. division boards. An examination of the hire should be made and all unnecessary brood comb be removed, as an oventupply of worthelss drones is very q^cetlonable. Odds and Ends. If It Is not convenient to fill flannel bags for the sick room with sand, bran will, answer tbe purpose very well and will retain the heat a long time. Before commencing to seed raisins, after the stems are removed, cover tbe fruit wfth very hot water and let it stand a few moments. Drain the water off and the seeds may then be re­ moved quite easily.

This prevents the wood from absorbing the grease, which then can be easily removed. Old feather pillows should be put out on tbe grass during summer rain and allowed to become thoroughly wet oc­ casionally, then taken and fastened on the clothes line, dried In the wind nnd sun, and beaten with a small stick to stir up the feathers.

Under the name of the National Droio cratic party of the United States the gold standard Democrats will bold a national convention in Indianapolis Wed­ nesday, Sept. 2, and nominate candidates for President and Vice President. This was decided m>an at the meetiffg of the committee in the Indiana capital. Sena­ tor John M. Palmer, of Illinois, was made the chairman of the permanent national committee, and to him will be left the selection of the Executive Committee which ia to perfect the details of the convention. Thirty-three States were personally represented when tbe permanent commit­ tee of the sound money democrats was organized, but three more States were added to the roll because they had al­ ready appointed committeemen, who, jonx y.-palmer. however, had been unable to got to the conference in time. Tbe movement for a third ticket was considered national and the decisive step in the warfare against fro? silver was taken. The national committee of the new party will exert its influence to have every State send delegates to the convention. The committee to prepare the call re­ ported the fo’ioiying: UAZEN S.

The Democratic party, during its whole history, hns been pledged to promote the liberty of the individual, the security of private rights end property, and the supremacy of the law. It hns always insisted upon a safe nnd stable money for the people's use. It has insisted upon the maintenance of the financial honor of the cation, as wcl* as upon the preservation inviolate of the in­ stitutions established by tbe Constitu­ tion. “These, Its principles, were abandonci by the supposed representative* of the party at n national convention recgntlv assembled nt Chicago. Tbe Democratic party will therefore cnese to exist-unless it be preserved by tbe voluntary action of sueh «f its members as still adhere to the fundamental principles. No majority df the members of that convention, how­ ever largo, had any right or power to surrender those principles. When they undertook to do so that assemblage ceas­ ed to be a Democratic convention. “The action taken, the Irregular pro­ ceedings and the platform enunciated by that body were and are so utterly and indefensibly revolutionary nnd constitute such radical departures from the princi­ ples of true domocracy, which should characterize a sound and patriotic admlnIstrution of onr country's affairs, that its results are not entitled to the confidence or support of true Democrats. > .“For the first time since national par­ ties were formed there is not before the American peo<>!e a platform declaring the principle of the Demoerntic party as rec­ ognized nnd most courageously and con­ sistently ndmlnistensl by Jefferson.

A good refrigerator Is not always pos­ sible where money Is scarce or the home is far removed from any town. Then, again, the refrigerator is often crowded and an extra ice chest is then in demand. Herewith is an illustrated description of a simple home-made af­ fair that can be produced at trifling ex­ pense. Ice will melt in it faster than in the expensive manufactured ice chests or refrigerators, but where a few pounds more'or less do not count this is of small consequence. A wellmade dry goods box can be made to serve ns the closet, to which Is fitted a door, divided as shown. The front edges of the closet are covered with listing, to make all tight when the doors are closed. The shelves hare openings nt lhe ends for the cold air to pass through In Its downward course and . for the warmer air to pass up through. On tbe top shelf is placed a big pan with Ice in it held up from the bottom of the pan by two bits of wood, tjitt the Ice may not stand In the water from Its melting. As the air in the "top of the closet is cooled by contact with the ice. It falls to the bottom, because made heavier by cooling, and so forces up Into con­ tact with the ice the warmer air below, which lu turn is coo!e<Vand the process repeated, thus keeping a constant circu­ lation of coo! air through the closet By covering the Ice in the pan with an old woolen blanket, or. that lacking, with newspapers, the melting of the ice will lx? greatly retarded. Brown Bread Paddins. Weigh six ounces of any pieces of stale brown bread you may have; break them Into small pieces and put them Into a bowL Pour over them half a pint of boiling milk, cover the bowl with a plate and let it stand till the bread Is soft. Next put the bread in a strainer and press It well to get It as dry as possible; beat It up well with a fork and take out any hard pieces there may be in It Add to It two ounces of brown sugar, the grated rind of a lemon, two ounces of sultanas or raisins cut In halves, nnd a few drops of vanilla. Mix these well together. Now beat two eggs well and add them to the rest of the in­ gredients. Butter a mould, put In the mixture and steam for one and a half hourx Then turn out ou to a hot dish, and serve wfth sweet melted 'butter or German sauce. Glazing Wheat and Poultrv. Meal and poultry, to be served cold, may be very much improved In appear­ ance by being glazed. The process is simple. An excellent glaze may be made of half nn ounce of gelatine dis­ solved in a pint of water, and flavored ns well as colored with extract of beef. To be successful the meat must be per­ fectly cold before the glaze is put on, and the first coating should be allowed to dry before tbe second Is applied. Tbe glaze must be well melted and warm and applied with a brush. A French woman in one of the San Francisco markets has established a large trade in cold roast meats. She glnzes them all. The meats prepared by her sell in the markets and stores for 35 cents per pound. . ■ Brief Hint*. White spots upon varnished furniture will disappear If a hot plate be held over them.

Three white frosts and then a storm. If you see sun-dogs, expect rain soon. . When you see whitecaps on the pond or river, it is going to rain. ■ When the smoke from a chimney does not rise, but falls to the ground, it is going to storm. If the melt of thqbog killed in the fall is big nt the.front end, the winter will be sharpest at tbe beginning. If the melt is biggest at the rear, the winter will be coldest in the latter part In winter when you see the wild geese flying south, expect cold weather. They fly south because the ponds to the north are frozen over. When tbe geese are seen flying north, warm weather is to be expected. If the sun seta in a cloud, it will rain on the morrow. The person who takes €hls saying os literally true would do well to remember that unless the cloud that hides the sun from his sight in ex­ tremely large, a spectator a short di*tance to the north or south would at the same moment sec the nun set in clear drain.

It’s a simple thing of itself, but like many simple things, it may grow and become complicated. Contttoauon is the root of nine-tenths of the sickness of men. and of a large propor­ tion of the sickness of women. It can be cured. It can be cured easily, naturally and quickly. There Is no reason save that of carelessness why it should cause the trouble that it does. Nature is continually working as hard as she can to throw off im­ purities, aud to force out poisonous refuse matter. Nature is not a dray-horse and should not be overworked. Nature is sys­ tematic. Some little thing may interfere with the system, and cause serious derange­ ment. The removal of thia little impedi. ment sets the wheels working again with­ out any trouble. This is exactly what Dr. Pierce's Pleasam Pellets do. They assist nature in a gent’.t, healthful, efficient way. There is uothiig violent about their action, and yet it is j jbS as certain as if it were twice as violent The use of tbe “Pellets" doesn't derange are unscrupulous druggists, who will tell you that something else is "just as good.” They are mistaken —or worst.

The exercise of good judgment often saves many regrets and many dollars, lu these times- when it is hard to possess much in silver, “free or otherwise,” gold, paper, and we should -exercise our best judgment to spend our money where it will go the farthest. In fact this is our duty. In deciding this, these questions arise: Size and diversity of stocks to select from. The amount of expenses of the house in comparison with business done. The i party’s ability to buy close and pay promptly. The char­ acter of goods handled, the honesty and sincerity of their representations. In view of these things, I feel that in Hardware, Fanning Tools, Carriages, Paint, Furniture etc. I can certainly save you money.

This will be remedied by the canal. Tbe cans! will enter the main styenm at n point where the waters of the Mississippi will make a very slight 'deposit, and a small num which will Ire required to keep it out of the way will he n mere pittance.

DUTY OF SEBEWA PEOPLE. The duty of Sebewa people In the case of Rev. J. W. Connolly is plain. Before they contribute any more mon­ ey to the fund which he is said to be preparing for a vindication of his character, they should institute a thorough investigation. It is claimed they have given him more than 9100. A quarter of this sum would take a reliable man to Nashville, another to Galesburg and settle this dispute for­ ever. If Connolly Is the bhd man he is alleged to be other persons than thisse w.ho are editing papers will know It. 'Not only should Sebewa people do this for their own protection, but the cause of religion demands that this socalled attempt at vindication be taken from the bands of the.accused preachey and that the vindication business start forthwith. If Christ's cause has been maliciously maligned punish­ ment should be meted out. - For our part, based upon a ‘long ex­ perience in the field of journalism, we are willing to assert that Editors .Feighner, of the Nashville News and Smiley, of the Galesburg Enter­ prise, have either taken a sudden tum­ ble from the high places they hereto­ fore occupied in Michigan journalism or they have honestly undertaken to rid I he church and society of an un­ worthy character.

The muslin or truiiwjMirent material is made tlip fashion' over a silk skirt nnd bod­ ice lining, nnd this skirt In elaborated with a lot of frills, each edged with ribbon, the different ribbons contrast­ ing. Round waists hold their own. nnd nre finished at the belt as this one is with big rosettes, nnd shirring, putting and drawing ndd to the clond-llke look of the transparent grass cloth nnd lawn, nnd mull and muslin that Is used. Princess styles arc charmingly adapt­ ed to transparent materials, nnd noth­ ing could be lovelier than some of lhe effects gotten by a transparent tissue over a contrasting silk, in a dress like that of the second sketch the silk seems to be fitted to every line of the figure, and the muslin shows never a seam. all such disfigurements being - turned' to ornament by a strap finish of ribbon that is feather stitched down. Tbe severity of the priuecss cut b often prettily relieved by the great fan* of lace that top the tight sleeves nnd spread so that they make almost a cape t»r jacket finish at the front of the dress. Home of them seem to be epau­ lette and fichu combined, aud a gown cf pink silk cut princes* with white tissue drawn loosely over it, and held tn place apparently only by the strap- :nade a yoke cave In add to the "dis­ honesty” of such a gown, and bowr at the hips combine with the billowy full­ ness of the skirt to further befool the observer. All this is pictured at tho top of the accompanying large Illustration, and beside It Is shown an effect that tho too plump girl must avoid. This cornea from spreading the fullness of the track of the skirt out over the hips. Tfie plump woman can avoid this by resort.ng to the trick employed in the left liand full length costume. Here the skirt is set on a pointed nnd fitted ploee •.hat sets smoothly over the teips aud back. The skirt Is shirred full on such a "skirt-yoke," ns It is called, and may lx? a swirling wonder of yards, yet the buut of tbe figure is not Increased a bit about whilst nnd hips. To disguise too great fullness above the waist, add io the puff.-> at the top of the sleeves lit­ tle Jabot-like pieces that seem to nar­ row tbe figure In the front view, nnd at the,same time add to the modish elab­ oration of the sleeve. . You see. tbe August girl is clever, nnd bns learned io aft-.pt the Huff of n trnns]>arent gown ;o exactly the need of her figure. Time was when the plump woman complain­ ed that she looked like "a hale of cotton on a rampage” in a fluffy and airy sum­ mer rig. a»id the Ix.ny girl felt that all tier defects showed through In tbe same sort of drafts. This mode tbe airy rig liecomlnff only to that hateful creature who Is jimt right. But now. no matter what the figure, a girl Is really stupid If she doesn’t look her very best in the summer fnx-k. Running little ruffles alxint the bodice and skirt adds to tbe fluff, and If these are set to make a }»ointed finish they will not add .unduly to the bulk of the ••osturue. Nor Is It necessary to use whit" stuff for such a rig. This season shows muslins of several contrasting •olora put together, aud It waa a gown of this sort that was jrat into the large Illustration to illustrate the round-andround ruffle ides. It was made with a black Inwu ImmRco, over white silk. Little black frills were set on the waist and at tbe edges of tbe shoulder puffs. Copyright.isos._______________ Lovrr'a Language or tbe Fern. .

Bryan, the Democratic presideotlnl candidate, was the recipient of many demonstrations while en route from bin homo in Lincoln, Neb., to New York city to receive the official notification of ht» nomination. The trip was inaugurated under favorable conditions. It was a day of torrid temperature, but long befor* the time for the departure of the Brynu party the Rock Island depot platform us Lincoln was crowded, and when the car­ riage containing Mr, and Mrs. Bryan drove up a round of cheers went np from over 1,000 throats. From that time o» until tbe train pulled out people Joetied each other ns they pres*«-d around theirfellow cltixen and grasped his band anS wished him God speed. As the train drew away from tbe station a thousand flutter­ ing handkerchiefs waved a porting adieu. On tbe second day of tbe trip.tbe party left Des Moines at 6:30 a. m. Colfax was reached a few minutes before 8 o'clock and nearly 1,000 people were wedged, into tbe narrow space between the tracks. Many of them were miners with tbelr lampi in cape. At Newton at 8:13 there were 1,200 to 1,500 enthusiasts on tbe pintform. They were so bent on cheer­ ing that it was with dltficufcr that Gen_ Wester succeeded in finally restoring or­ der while Mr. Bryan made a brief speech. At Iowa Chy a ten minntes' Stop ww made and 1,000 people voiced their enthu­ siasm through the medium of a bras* band. Tbe crowd at Davenport followed to the hotel and stood in the parching sun until Mr. Bryan had finished his dinner, when he addressee! them from the hotel porch. When Chicago was readied at 7:20 o'clock Saturday night, there were nearly 10,000 people mused about the Rock Island station, anxious to catch a glimpea of tbe presidential candidate. Almost I. 000 of tbcac were members of tbe va­ rious silver organisations which went to make up tbe procession that escorted Mr. Bryan to his hotel. Tbe streets werw filled with people anxious to nee tbe nomi­ nee for President. Mr. Bryan bowed to the right and left continuously all the wny to the hotel. When the Clifton House finally was reached Mr. Bryan went immediately to tbe balcony, where tho formol exercises were held. WUIians J. Strong, tho Republican chairman of the reception committee, delivered the ad­ dress of welcome, and Bryan spoke to as many people u could crowd In front of the hotel balco&y.

August Belmont In the camjwigns Immediately following the war was another good collector. -Ro was William H. Barnum, who succeeded Mr. Belmont ns chairman of the Demo­ cratic National Committee. Roswell I*. Flower and Levi P. Morton are also both expert teggara. . The moneys exj»endod by the national nnd Stole committees represent only a part of th.e cost of a presidential cam­ paign. Conventions like those held in St. Louis and Chicago cost at a modest estimate from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 apiece, and tbe check of business dur­ ing the campaign which follows them Involves a loss of many ‘millions .more. Taking all these things Into considers•Jon, It. may be roughly estimated that a presidential campaign coats the coun­ try about $20,000,000.

With every recurring cam­ paign the expenses Bf election show an Increase. Competent Judges predict that not ires tlian $5.000,(XM) will lie ex­ pended by ’the two national commit­ lees in tho great battle this year.' Tho late Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, said not long before his death that It cost Jess to elect Lincoln In i860 than is now often spent in a single Congressional district, nnd yet the work was Just as thoroughly done as tluit of any eommltlec the party has bad since. The use of large sums of money by uatlonal committees began with the two committees that managed Grant's ■canvasses In 18G8 ^nd 1872. and so DIFFICULTIES OF BURNT WORK. rapidly did tbe exQ0 J cren.sc that In 1880, Held's election, the sationalcomnilttei! handled. or .more than $1,000,-' Y \ “ *000. while It haa»T«’,,l«x w' »>««*• to ratlmaled l.y 1A 8h”w'1 > those whose opportunities for knowing ■were good that throughout the country dthere wna spent by different committees 2w the aggregate mon? than $4,000,000. The expenses of the campaigns of 1884 -and 1888 were about the same. In the -campaign of 1802 tbe national comsnlttftns each collected and expended -over $L5M),000 and the State commit­ tees ronectod for their Individual use -about a quarter of that sum. The charge that most of the money raised for campaign purposes is used to corrupt voters nnd purchase votes Is both silly and false. Tho expense of a presidential battle are of a legitimate • nature. Four years ngo tbe Republican National Committee expended $200,(!00 In the publication and circulation of campaign <1 o c u ments. An addl11 o n a 1 $lOO,(MKi wm devoted to tbe campaign orators and their expen­ ses. A little over $200,000 went to tbe Congressional n. where the • contest was close and the outcome • Hlcmbtful. nnd where it was used to.pay tan£ hire rad the cost of the uniforms ■ of marching clubs and of parades nnd \ptiiflic meetings. Something like $300.­ 000 was sent to the chairman of the State committeca of the doubtful Suites, xind the cost of maintaining the nation­ al headquarters and of the local cam; palga la Now York City consumed the Ittlance of the fundt raised by tbe na­ tional committee. The expenses of the Democratic National Committee In 181)2 ■varied In some minor details, but Jts tfnnda were expended through about ■the same channels ns the Republican •committee, the campaign methods of /both parties being very similar. ■With tbe growing use of money in ^politics it has been found more and mare desirable that the chairman of a :national committee should be a man of : large private fortube and of high •standingin tbe businros world.

But up to the present day the nrtlst In burnt wood has tolled on with his rude forg? and burning Irons, with the de­ votion of an old-time alchemist. Slngularty enough, relief from the dteI <*onifortR of this cnide mode of work has nt Inst come through the avenue which brings relief from all physical ailments—that of medicine. The ther­ mocautery. a surgical Instrument In­ vented for cauterizing, has been adapt­ ed to the use of the rfVtist. so that he can work with comptmtlve freedom. Formerly the fire-etcher employed copper tools, not unlike soldering Irons, set into wooden or other non-conduct­ ing handles. These tools cooled rapid­ ly. nnd had to ta constantly shifted, while tho oxidation of the copper ne­ cessitated constant cleautag. What with feeding hta fire and blowing it up with hand-bellows, It Is a wonder that the wood burner produced anything at nil artistic. To-day the hollow burning point is ot platinum, a metal which does not oxidize. Once heated, a neverfalling current of -naptha gas. burning within, enables the artist to work for hours, wholly independent of tbe forge, the bellows, and.other paraphernalia. The electrode, another surgical cautery, is likewise used In bnrnt wood, and elec­ tricity will tn tlnie supersede all other means of hentlng the burning point. W-th these facilities a: hand, the Are etcher must still encounter dlffteulttes not found In practicing the kindred arts.

A BICYLE THAT FLIES The Problem of Aerial Navigation Solved by a YonncZLonsr I Blunder. The problem of aerial navigation, which has bothered the minds of scien­ tists and Inventors for several hundred years, has been -solved by & young man of ID who has gone out of the beaten track of past oxiieriments and devta?d a simple apparatus which actually flies. The name of this young genius Is J-. C. Hyder, of Richmond HUI. L. I.; and the main principle of his device la taken from the bicycle. Mr. Ryder recently "flew" on bis nerial bicycle from Hemp­ stead to Richmond Hill, a distance of seven miles, rbdng to an altitude of sev­ eral hundred feet. Mr. Ryder says of l.'s exjieriments with the machine: "1 experimented three years on a fly­ ing apparatus, and could not make any headway, but on June 25. after «i month's hard labor.

Arctic Adventures. The story of Ur. N'anaen's attempt to reach the North 1‘ole is interesting, like the accounts of previous explorations of •he utac kind,: iuthe xettxe that the world n!wa>s iikt-s to rend about personal nd•renturex in remote nnd mysterious re­ gions. There is n certain charm in rrcerdx of courage and endurance even when the results nre not of nny material import­ ance: and the results yt these.successive Arctic journeys eanhardly be said to have justified the expense and privation, the suffering and fatality that they hare in­ volved. Dr. Nunsen claims to have pro­ ceeded .four degrees further than nny former explorer, nnd to have reached a point within about 200 miles of the covete-i object. Looking northward from there, he says, there was nothing to be seen but a vast white wonder of ice, “hum­ mock nnd hummock to the horizon. like n ►ea ot frozen breakers.” The sight wax n grand one, no doubt, but it wns also a profitless one, practically speaking. Applcii Indicate a Better Yield and 1‘cacbeM a Hcduccd'<h,e. The Agricultural Department's August report ot fruit conditions is as follows: Apples—The general condition advanced during July from G4.0 to 05.7, a gratify­ ing indication of sustained crop prospects. This general average covers all kinds of appks in all sections of the country. Not­ withstanding a general condition of (J4.C July 1, which wax low os''far as tbe crop of the country was concerned, it was B|HTiflcnily staled that “prospects for ex­ cellent crops” continued In States of the’ northern belt from Maine to Minnesota and in Iowa, with fair but comparatively, btualier crops in Ohio, Illinois and In­ diana. In the present report n very gen­ eral -betterment is shown in that region. The condition is very uneven in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, many counties rejxirting entire failure, while others report ubundnni crops, which accounts for tho somewhat lower conditions of those States. In the past a final condition of iu I>er eent. ot over has been followed by tin abundant supply of apples, so that the excellence of the crops of the present sea­ son, in this particular and extensive re­ gion, is plainly evident. In other parts of the countryj with a.few exceptions, the condition is low. Peaches—Present returns show a gen­ erally reduced condition. Of the com­ mercial Rjatbs the best prospects still are found, in DelaAvarc, Michigan, Ohio and Maryland, while in New Jersey, Vir­ ginia, Georgia nnd California percentages indicate less than half a crop. In Dela­ ware the early crop was nearly ruined by curculio and "yellows" and fruit on the trees is badly stung there and in Mary­ land, though a fine product is expected R*i*p*a*n*s ■> ^—Tabules. t Disease commonly comes on with slight symptoms, which when T neglected increase in extent and gradually grow dangerous. 4 ” ”SS,:rCMIRIPANSTABULES P 4 4 4 4 RIPANSTABULES It yox M BIUOUS, CONSTfl’ATED, or hm A DlSORDEnEO LIVER. . . . ff w COMPLEXION IS SALLOW, or you SUFFER DISTRESS AFTER EATING, TAKE RIPANSTABULES RIPANSTABULES 4 DERS OF THE STOMACH. . . . 4 Ripans Tabulcs act gently but promptly upon the liver, stomach 4 and intestines; cleanse the system effectually; cure dyspepsia, For OFFENSIVE BREATH and ALL DISOR­ habitual constipation, offensive breath and headache.

This address is, in effect, the platform on which tbe National Democratic party goes before tbe people. Another declaration of principles will be adopted, of course, at the national gath­ ering m Indianapolis as a part of conven­ tion routine, but it is 'not overstatement of the CBM- to say that in the main it can do but little more titan paraphrase tbe declaration issned from Chicago.

' Tumbling mustard is a troublesome ,treed in tbe Canadian Northwest prov­ inces, and has recently been reported from nine different localities in the United States, mostly on waste lands and city lots. Its record in Canada, and the rapidity with which It has al­ ready spread in some places in tbe United States, necessitate prompt ac­ tion If its further progress is to be checked. The weed is found*through­ out the greater part of Europe, north­ ern Africa and western Asia.

This pest Is a biennial, after germination resembling dandelion or shepherd's purse. A small part of a flowering branch Is shown at d. The lower part of the stem bears numerous leaves 3 to 10 inches long nnd 1 to 3 inches wide, shown nt b. The nearly white blossoms, shown at c. appear !n small clusters at the cuds of branches. Seed is usually Introduced in baled Lay, poorly cleaned seed, stock cars or sweepings from grain cars. Tbe timothy seed growers of our Western States should be especially active to eradicate this pest in case it appears in their fields. To exterminate, mow the weeds below all flowers, grub out plant aud root during August, barrow the land thoroughly at frequent inter­ vals during summer, and seed with sod­ forming grasses.—American Agriculturisu A plank drag behind the cultivator to smooth down ridges and thus keep the soil from rapidly drying Is advised by many investigators, says Farm and Home. This is particularly Important during a drought when all tbe mois­ ture in the soil must be retained If pos­ sible. Ordinary cultivating between the rows leaves deep depressions and high ridges, thus exjtosing double sur­ face to the action of the sun and air. The plank drag smooths down these ridges, while leaving the land light and porous. An Ohio farmer advises rounding the edges of tbe plonk sllght- Tbe practice Is coininon among farm­ ers, even among those the most ad­ vanced, to select seed from tho body of the ear, and to discard tbe small grains that grow on the tips and butts of the ears. They do so from the con­ viction that like produces like, and the stronger plants should lie obtained from the larger grains. If, however, such a practice were persevered In 1 rom year to year, It would "result in the production of ears with few grains of corn on tbe tips or none at all, for tae distance of a full inch from the end of tbe ear. It has been ascertained from experiment that corn produced from tbe butt brains comes'flrst in tasrcl; that from the body grains tassels next, and corn from tbe tip grains last of all. Thc»dlffercnce between tbe pe­ riods of tasseling will average a week or ten days. This is nature’s method of providing an abundance of pollen, to complete tbe fertillxatlon of all the grains on the ear. It may not be wise to plant all the small grains from the tips of the ears, as there would then bo a danger that the corn would be too thick. This difficulty may be obviated ►y running the seed through a sieve, with meshes of suitable slxe, after the coni has been shelled.' 7 02-100 Inches, 1 link; 100 links, 1 chain; 1 chain is 60 feet or 4 -rods; 1 rod is 10% feet; 160 square rods is 1 acre, or 208 feet 8% inches square is one acre; 43.560 square feet Is 1 acre; 4,480 square yards Is 1 acre; SO chains make 1 mile; 320 rods make 1 mile; 11.760 yards make 1 mile; 5,280 feet I make 1 mile; one-half mile square con­ ; tains 100 acres; 4 miles square con­ tains 2.550 acres; 5 acres of land meas­ ures 460 feet 8«4 Inches square; 10 acres of land measures GUO feet square: 15 acres of land measures 808 feet 4 inches square; 30 acres ofc land meas­ ures 033 feet 4% Inches square; 25 acres of land measures 1,050 feet square.

The fine farm barn and granary of J. A.

The loss is about 81,200, with MOO Insurance on' barn, 8100 on granary and 8200 on con­ tents, in the Barry & Eaton. The barn was a good one, 38 x 48, and the granary 10 x 22. One of the binders destroyed belonged to George Dickson. The fire waa"plainly seen from the village, and.from Main street seemed to be near the depot, so that the alarm was given and the department turned out In a rush, but when they got as far as the railroad track they saw it was outside and came back again. Monday the rumor became current that Ves. Felghner, a brother of J. A., bad been burned to death in the barn, and quite a flutter of excitement was stirred up, but on Tuesday morning a thorough and systematic search of the ruins was made, and the rumor proved to be without foundation, as not a vestige of anything resembling a human body was found. Tuesday noon a letter was received from Ves., written at Baltic Creek, which effect­ ually settles that part of It.

Money getting and the up­ building of vast wealth and not the sac­ rifice of the concrete to the Ideal has been their supreme moving force. - This family has a coat of arms. The artuden t of hernldry.Iooklng back t brough its line, can find no point at which a Vanderbilt was ennobled by a king or received from a monarch a title. Nor yet can ho find lu the age of chivalry the Vanderbilt who, in his pride of place Mnd of arms. took to himself the sym­ bols-of his bravery and family traits .and fixed them on an escutcheon.

True, so far .-a* is known, the foundation of this Il­ lustrious house was laid by Aris, who •married an unknown woman.. Jacob Vanderbilt I. was the son of .Aris. and. like bls father, was a farmer. He was bora, it is said, in 1032. and rnywed from Long Island to Staten Isl■•and. Jacob Vanderbilt the flrat was married to n woman whose Christian same Is .laid to have been Nellje.

On one of the coral reefs off the Mar­ shall group, far awgy In the South Pa­ cific, there rests a Irfifce railway trans­ fer barge, which was carried by winds and currents from some point on the California coast to its present resting place. Its ownership, home port and the date of Its Joos are unknown. "John Crowley, mate' of the missionary brig Morning Star, saw the barge. Speak­ ing alxjut It recently, be said: “We ran Into the Marshall group In September last in the courae of our tour through the Islands, and our Intention was at­ tracted to this huge barge resting on a reef.

The bottom had been copper covered, but the na­ tive* had stripped that off. They bad made an attempt to break the craft up, too. but that was beyond their power. “The experiences of thit barge would be hard to conjecture. It may have drifted the 4,000 odd miles which di­ vide our coast nnd the Marshalls In a very short space of time, or It might have taken a remarkably long period.*’ Inquiry among shipping men as to the identity of the strange craft failed to throw any light upon the subject.

It i* devoted principally to the discussion of what he considers the three great ques­ tion* of the campaign—protection, mon­ ey, and reciprocity. About one-third of the message is de­ voted to a consideration of the free silver question. He announce* that he i* ututl■ ->ppo*Ml to any such policy. He ■ays that the Republican position in the pending campaign is "no “new departure," but thnt its proposition to maintain gold and silver coin at a parity ha* been the unbroken pbliey of the Republican party ■Ince 187S. He nays It has inaugurated no new policy. It will, he declares, keep in circulation and a* good as gold all of the ■liver and paper moneys which are now included in the currency of tho country. It will maintain their parity. It will preserve -their equality In the future as it has always done In the past It will not consent to put the United States on a silver basis, which would inevitably fol­ low independent free coinage. It will oppose the expulsion of gold from-our tfoB. • He wiyi that the farmers and laborers would suffer most by the adoption of free silver. The sliver question, in his judg­ ment, is not the only issue affecting out money In the pending contest. He conaid-, er* the declaration of the Democratic and People’s parties for unlimited, irredeem­ able paper money as the most serious menace to our financial standing nnd credit that could be conceived. He con­ demns ns “in the highest degree repre­ hensible** ali efforts to array “class against class, rhe classes against the masse*, section against section, -labor against capital, the poor against the rich, or interest against interest.” ' He considers* protection ns an issue of supreme importance, nnd observes that while “the peril of free silver is a menace to be feared, we nrc already experiencing the effect of partial free trade." The one he would avert, the other correct. He recommends the immediate restoration by Congress of the reciprocity sections of the tariff law of 1890. with such amendments, if any. as. time and experience sanction ns wise and proper. The underlying princi­ ple of this legisiatibn. he declares, should be strictly observed. This, he explains, is to “afford npw markets for our surplus agricultural and manufactured product* without loss to the American laborer of a single day’s work that he might otherwise procure.” He discusses foreign immigration brief­ ly.

ILLINOIS ANTI-SILVER DEMO­ CRATS choose black. —Platform l>cclare» for Gold Prsiacs Cleveland's Administraticm Babcock. The palace of the Sultan of Zanzibar waa bombarded by the British Thursday morning and nt noon waa a mass of blazr Ing ruins.' The usurping chieftain. BaM Kahlid, and tho commander of his forces. Said Sales, succeeded in escaping to the German consulate, where they have sought refuge and remain under the pro­ tection of the German flag. Said Khalid seized the palace and pro­ claimed himself Millan on the death of Sultan Hamed Bln Thsnid Bin Baid, not! had been strongly re-enforcfd nnd posi­ tively refused to rurreuder. Said Khalid bad with him at thnt time about 2,500 well armed and well disciplined men, including IXNi Askarix. who have been trained under British officers, plenty of ammunition and n number of field guns aud other pic«?s of artillery whirl) were trained on the British unrships. ' The latter were: The flagship St. < leorgr. the third-class cruiser Philomen, the thini-class cruiser Rac­ coon nnd the first-class gunboats Sparrow and Thrush. Wednesday cabled instructions from Ixmdon announced nn ultimatum to Said Khalid. He was ordered to haul down bis flag and surrender with his force no later than 9 o’clock Thursday morning. It is understood thnt Said Khalid re­ ceived re-enforcements from the slave deniers who flocked to his support, ns the formal hoisting of the British flag over Zanzibar would mean the liberation of about 250.000 slaves and a deathblow to slavery in thnt port of East Africa. Shortly lieforo 0 o’clock a naval officer was sent to the palace with another mes­ sage for Said Khalid, asking him if he wns prepared to surrender. Said replied that he would die sopner than surrender. At 0 o’clock the Thrush and Sparrow nnd two gunboats opened fire with their heaviest guns nnd ten minutes Inter they hif»l sent n storm of shell and ahot Into the palace, tearing big gnjm in it. scatter­ ing death and confusion among its de­ fenders. while dismounting some of the guns ashore and putting to flight the gun­ ners handling the pieces. The fire of the warships .was admirably directed and smoke was soon wrn to bo issuing from several parts of the palace. Said’s followers answered the fire of the warships with great persistency and gal­ lantry and did not atop tiring until, in re­ sponse to the flag,hip's.signal of “Cease firing," the guns of the warships stopped showering shot and shell ashore. The losses of jhe enemy are not known, but must have lievn heavy, especially among the defenders of the palace proper. During the bombardment the Sultan’s armed steamer Glasgow opened fire on the British warships, but a few well-aimed shells from tho heavy guns of the Raccoon and a shot or two from tho four-inch guns of the Sparrow crashed through and through her, silenced her fire in short order and ultimately sank her at her moorings. Boon after the palace caught fire and the walls and roof were sent fly­ ing here and there by the shells of the warships, £ai<l Khalid and Said Sales, the latter being the commander of the usurping Sultan's army, escaped with a numlxT of their loading followers through the back part of the palace and hurriedly made their way to the German consulate, where they asked for protection, which was accorded them. Admiral Rawson, in order to prevent tho escape of Said Khalid and his follow­ ers to the mainland of Africa, where their presence would undoubteiliy have caused trouble with tho slave leaders nnd their adherents, sent detachments of marines, bluejackets and local Zanzibaris to occupy all the roads and aveaucs of escape, thus hemming in the enemy pretty effwtunlly. although many escaped to the mainland and Mends in dows. A dispatch received at Ixmdon from Admiral Rawson, dated Zanzibar. 2:45 p. m. Thursday, says. “I issued an ulti­ matum nt 7 o'clock this morning calling ujkin the usurper to haul down his flsg nnd surrender to me, and directing his followers to pile their arms and leave the imlace liefore 0 o’clock, or otherwise It would be bombarded. .Instead of comply­ ing. he commenced increasing bis fortifi­ cations. and Lis corvette trained her guns on my squadron. I opened fire nt 9 on the palnco nnd on the corvette, which prompt­ ly replied. I ceased firing at 0:40, when tho corvette was sunk, nil the guns wore silenced nnd the usurpers yielded to the German consul, llamond has been ap­ pointed sultan. The enemy’s loss waa heavy. Only a petty officer of the gunlx»at Thrush wns wounded.” Before the bombardment all foreign residents bad sought safety either on the British boats or at their respective lega­ tions. For Governor..

Io (X),000.000 Hunbeln Ixa. than That of 1803. The annual spring wheat crop rej»ort, prepared by the Mluncaiiolis Journal, cov­ ers the States of Minnesota. North Da­ kota and South Dakota, nnd these threo States are estimated to hare raised this year 108.<XM),(XMj buahHa, against 19^.000,000 bushels last year and 120,000,000 in 1894. The acreage used is 9,300,000, about 1.300.(N)0 more than is allowed by the Agricultural Bureau in Washington. The crop is uot of the best quality, and it b yet n question whether n considera­ ble acreage in North Dakota nnd Northern Minnesota matures because of possible frost injury. No allowance has been made for frost, however, in thb computation. The late wheat is filling nicely, and prom­ ises a good yield if it is not injured. Th* State yields arc as follows: Minnesota, 44.500,000; North Dakota. 30,009,000; South Dakota. 27.500,000 The estimated averages nre: Minnesota. 12.8; North Da­ kota, 1(U>; South Dakota, 9.4. The crop is very spotted, ranging in yield from two fo thirty bushels. Corn, oats, barley and flax are generally favorably reported upon. BRYAN FILES DENIAL. William J. Bryan, for the first tims since Senator John M.

Mr. Bryan's attention Lad i>oen called to the controversy between Swnators Thurston and Stewart, and he determined to settle tho matter If possible. He therefore demands nn open charge, which he soys he will refute with detail* of hit private life and his financial affair* or silence. .CONGRESS IS SLOW TO ACT. The French.

You can buy a buggy at a cheap price, and in a year or two. when It is worn out. scrape off what little paint js left and find poor material. We sell the tailor-made kind of buggies.

Three Men Killed by Explosion at . Equitable Powder Co.’s Plant. Part of the Equitable Power Company's plant, fodr nufl one-half miles cast of Alton. Hl., was blown up shortly before 3 o’clock Tuesday morning. It is known three persons lost their lives. The works took fire and the big store house was in imminent danger for a time. The shock of the explosion was felt fur twenty miles and East Alton and Upper Altoji build­ ing* were daihaged. In Alton many fan­ cied that the shock was caused by an earthquake. A second explosion of less intensity followed the first. A khcM’king double murder aud suicide was discovered three miles from Nejwa«rt. III., when William Maison, wbo works for Lou Wilson, a.farmer, fausid tincorpse}, of his employer’s wife, his little 4-yenr-old son, snd Wilson himself, lying in the Barn, the last named still clutching a revolver in hi* baud. WHson was well known, having been a farmer in tbe vi­ cinity all bls life. He wa* about 38 years old. He wa* steady and industrious, and his business seemtn, to pro*j*er until with­ in the last couple of years, when he ha* tH-eu in financial straits, owing to the gen­ eral hard times. , Lately be has bwn.ln a despondent mood, nt time* behig plunged iu profound melancholy. His wife tried to cheer him up. but with little, success, anl finally she became affected with bis _ hopeless humor. No one had ever heard "either one make threats of suicide, and If Wilson contemplated any such horrible deed as wns done lie never gave the least intimation of-lt. Mr*. Wilson was slight­ ly his senior, being ^Iwut -40 years old. Malsun bad been in their employ far sev­ eral months. He was out with a team Wednesday, leaving the house at noon, and returning at G o’clock, as tfns his daily habit. He stopped nt the house, but. finding no one there, drove on to the l>arn to put up his horse*. All unwitting vf the near presence of death, he unharnessed his animals and put them Into their stalls, and then-started to the loft to throw down some hay. He wns astonished to discover three bodies lying on the floor, aud horri­ fied to find life extinct from each. Each had been shot through the bend, the ball in every ease entering the temple squarely hh if directed by careful and-deliberate nim. Wilson’s own.forehead wns blacken­ ed with powder grains just around the wound, nnd there seems to be no doubt that be had slain himself and family. Tbe county authorities were notified, and nn inquest held. COMMITTEES RUSHING. Immense Quantities of Campaign tbe Philippine Islands are tbe chief colo­ nial posiu-reion of Spam. Tbe sum* greedy, tyrannous methods of govern­ ment that hove forced Cuban* to revolt repesteilly have at last spurred the Philip-, pine Islanders to revolution. Thi* rebel­ lion I* tbe ano thing which, more than all others, Spain has feared for more than a year past. It 4s the be*t possible' news for Cuba, since it inraus that Spain'* Cp* must be divided between two rebel» provinces instead of bring concen­ trated on one. The Philippines are a group of ’large and *mall islands, more than 100 in number, lying directly south­ east of the Chinese const aud northwest of New Guinea. The scat of the Spanish government of the islands is at Manila, in the southwestern part of the greet isl­ and of Luxnn, 41,000 square miles In ex­ tent. Manila has a population ©1*270.000. The (Hands altogether have 7,000,000 pop­ ulation. or nearly twice that of Cuba, on about 116,000 square miles of territory. The islands have been a very valuable colony for Spain, producing great quantlties of sugar, hemp, tobacco, coffee and cocoa. Tbe news of the rebellion in the Philippines will inspire the Cuban patriot* to make still greater sacrifices for their liberty, as it so greatly enhances the pros­ pects of their ultimate success.

It is now estimated that 5.000 persons perished. The ambassadors of the powers are preparing a note in which the whole blame for last week's events is laid upon tbe shoulders of tbe Government of Turkey. Very serious news ha* bees received at Berlin, by way of Athens, to the effect that massacres have again been commence*! iu several places in Asia Minor, and that many Christians have been killed and wounded as a result of these recent outbreaks. In Ixmdon official circles it is believe*! the Marquis of Salisbury has determined to pursue his own course at Constantinople in future, and that he has given the Brit­ ish ambassador. Sir Philip Currie, precise and significant instructions, with greater powers, to command naval aid in enforc­ ing the demands of Great Britain.

Under its provisions the rx-twil deal­ er must pay nn annual fee of $8 for the privilege of selling it and the manufac­ turer a tax of 1 cent a isinnd far tbe privileg*! of tanking It. Moreover, the chrese must be stamp<41 on the top nnd on the bottom and around the outside.

He lefl a letter attributing his suicide to attacks of the anti-Semitic newspapers, which have accused him of defrauding the au­ thorities In paymentsof octroi taxes. Then is no doubt that the charges were untrue, for Herr von Markow, although possess­ ed of great riches, wns of an estimable character and occupied a high social po­ sition iu Vienna.

The cheapness of corn bad much to do with this. We enn undoubtedly produce corn, pork and beef cheaper than any other country. Training the Helfer. In training young heifers it Is well to remember thnt gentle handling b a great factor in gaining thetf good will nnd submission to be handled. All dairy animals, whether young or old. should be taught te regard their master ns their best friend. If tho young heifer is to be made a useful nud pleasant animal for tho dairy, it Is important thnt she ghould be handled and accus­ tomed to all necessary manipulations while she Is a calf. If they nre handled fnmillnrly from the first, there will usually be very little trouble with them. When force is used at the start to com­ pel them to submit to l>elng milked, then tho trouble begins. Many a young heifer has been ruined ns n dairy cow by bad usage. (Jet her started right. nnd much future trouble will be avoid­ ed: it will be far better to exercise a little patience than to have trouble as long as site Is a cow. * A Warm Weather Milk Hnnae. A very convenient «tniik . house for Warm climates. or for summer use in Irolder Sections, is shown In the engmvIng herewith. .It is six foot dqunre nnd six feet high nt the wives, which- is large enough for tbe milk of two or thnt* cows. The bouse Is built under A large grapo artar, ataut twenty feet from my kitchen pump. The milk tank, which is twelve inches deep nnd fourteen inches wide nt the top. ex­ tends along tho north side.

Diversified farming has two great ad­ vantages over that which Is confined to one or two specialties. If the.different crops are properly chosen there will be a succession of marketing to be done through the year, and also something to be done on the farm to keep Its labor employed nt nil times. Where the spe­ cialty ofily Is grown, though It may bring n good deal of money when sold. most of this has already been expend­ ed during the season while th’e crop was being grown. This is the difficulty with the Southern planter who depeods wholly oy his cotton crop. After the expense of making It Is deducted the plnntdr his less ready money than If he had more crops, so ns to be able to sell something every month In the year. Live Stock Note*. Stockkeeping keeps up the fertility of the farm. In feeding oats and wheat tatter re­ sults will be secured by feeding alter­ nately: they can ta fed dry or snaked. | If animals cannot understand lan[ gunge, they at least realize that a gen­ tie voice betokens kindness toward them. Keep the fences cattle proof. When cattle nre tempted to jump a low. broken-down fence, a dangerous habit •may be started. A .well-bred. well-fed yearling steer can be made to outweigh at twelve months the scrub at twenty-four months. This being true, why continue to raise scrubs? The meat of an animal whose bone and muscle have been fully developed is better than the meat of an animal that luis been forced on the fat side from the beginning. # Keep no unprofitable stock.'whether It be horse, cow. hog, dog or poultry. •Make It a point that every month «»n the farm must at least earn the food It .eats. Keeping "dead stock" is making mart}' farmers poor. The color of an animal affects its sale as much as the other points of tbe an!GAJII'EX I.EVF.I.F.R AXT> GRADER. I mat.

Duu & Co.’* Weekly Review of Trade say's: "Better prosj»ccts and relief from mone­ tary anxiety do not yet bring larger de­ mands for finished products, though large buying of pig iron, wool, leather, hides, cotton, and other materials continue to show a growing business and that a gen­ eral movement upwanl in prices will cume with the replenishment of dealers* atocks this fall. Moat prides are extreme­ ly low. so that nothing more than ordin­ ary demand would advance them. But bank failures at New Orleans cause tem­ porary hesitation, crop n turns indicate disappointment in some cotton and some spring wheat State*, prices of corn and oat* make it unprofitable to mill at pres­ ent, the number of manufacturing works and mines in operation does not gain but rather decreases, reductions of wages are somewhat numerous, occasionally resist­ ed by strikes, and all these conditions diminish for a time the buying power of the people.” UP THE NILE.

ELEVEN PEOPLE HUBT, L. Railroad Near Engliah. One man missing and eleven seriously. It not fatally, injured is the result of a railroad wreck ten miles west of English, Ind., on the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Road. A train consisting of ten coaches filled with excursionists l»ouhd from St Ix»uis to Loudon was. rpnniug at high sj>ee<] when two coaches suddenly left the track, pulling two more after them as they rolled down the embankmeuL The train plunged along some dis­ tance before it was stopped. A panic ensued in whiefl many meu. women and children were seriously crushed by those who lost their heads and endeavored to force their way from the cars by main force. Several of the passengers fainted, and for a time the scene was one of the utmost confusion- The wreck is supposed to have been caused by n broken flange on one of the car* catching against a fish plate. Two of the derailed car* were badly splintered. Thousands of people lined the docks ou both sides of the Chlengo River in the vicinity of 12th street, Chicago, all Tues­ day. afternoon, and for the first time in It* history the muddy, sluggish stream actually rivaled the Thame* when it* bank* arc crowded with spectators at a Henley regatta. The crowds that gath­ ered along the edge of tbe south branch was composed entirely of. Russian Jews. Men, women and children flocked there to perform one of the rites of their religion. Tuesday was New. Year's Day, on which the Jewish year 5637 began, and ;>art uf the ritual of the orthodox religion fol­ lowed by the Russian Jew is said to in­ volve a pilgrimage to the nearest water­ side, where the worshipers repeat many prayers and end by purging themselves of their sins. This latter act is accom­ plished by energetic gestures, which sym­ bolize that the sins are hurled into the water and drowned. The strange spec­ tacle of several thousand people earnestly reading from prayer Inxiks and tossing unseen object* Into the water attracted other crowds which lined the 12th street and Sth avenue viaducts for^blocks. “Rockford Messiah” Wedo.

The ^trained rolatious existing for a long time between the Kansas City grain merchants, elevator aud milling mru and the railroad have culminated in open warfare. The Hou. C. A.

The bills are brought in behalf of about fifty cor­ porations and co-partnerships engaged in the grain, elevator and milling business ip Kansas City, Kan.

Martin acted as leaders of the respec­ tive sides, and Miss Gregory and Messrs. Spire and Rian as judges. Each member of the class was given two minutes in which to present ar­ gument. and the leaders were given three minutes each to sum up the ar­ gument. The question was decided in favor of the present-system of elec­ tion. The non-resident students who have enrolled thus far are as follows: Belle Andrews. Frank Barry, Frank Brown, Roy Brumm, Coy Brumm, Arlle Bene­ dict, Joseph Bell. May Benedict, Ar­ thur Campbell.

Ferris of Big Ranlds is ac­ knowledged by all to be one of the most practical educators in tbe state. A circular which he recently sent throughout the state contained the following statement: “Every change in the faculty has been made in the Interests of higher education. Ons year ago a graduate of Michigan uni­ versity was employed to take charge of Latin and Greek. The demand for these languages has been remarkable, so much iw» that the classical course of this school bids fair to lead during tbe ensuing year. Young men and young women from the farms and shops have rightly concluded that a classical training has special value for them. The other courses In the school have been strengthened rather than weak­ ened by this change. oung people are coming to realize that a broad ed­ ucation is essential to success in every line of human effort.” It takes a business man to describe a costume to his wife. A busy son of commerce, after seeing a very taking dress on a verv taking young lady re­ cently, Informed tbe partner of bis joys that: “It was floe. The dress was made of Mime kind of cloth, with some kind of trimming. It was sorter lilac, or shrimp pink in color, and had for waist some sort of basque that was In•descrlbable.

In all our experience we have never seen any but the best results from early fall plowlfig, while on tho other hand we have often seen the 111 effects of late plowing on the next crop. At one time we began the plowing of a field containing eighty acres while still engaged in stacking, the wet weather having interfered with tbe latter work, say* a writer In the "Homestead.” Plowing was continued at odd times till late lu the full, and the following year the entire field was planted in corn. During the summer tbe growing corn told unerringly of the difference In time of plowing, the crop being tbe best on the early plowed ground and tbe poorest on the late plowed. With our experience in plowing stubble ground for a crop of com we would much prefer spring plowing to that of the late fall, the only thing to be «a!d in favor of the latter being That work Is not usually «o pressing in the fall as in the spring, but early fall plowing is far better than either, whether for com or small grain, and If the surface of the soil does become picked all tho better for tbe crop. It will show Its appreciation as soon as It secures a foothold. Winter Rye. An Eastern farmer writes: To those who have’never tried it I would nay. sow a field of rye this year. Sow it early, and do not be afraid to pasture It late, it win come up nicely lu the spring, affording pasturage long before the grass is big enough to turn into.

B., In Farm and Home. To make farm, life a success and de­ sirable. the farmer must teach hls boys and girls that there Is no other profes­ sion within the bounds of civilisation as independent, honorable and enno­ bling as life ou the farm. This growing practice of sending our boys to school to be educated for some other profes­ sion Is making all our farm boys anx­ ious to leave the ok! homestead and crowd into the cities; where every pro­ fession is overdone, and trickery tlie only door left open to the educated boy. It is not enough to teach boys how to farm; the foundation of success is in teaching them contentment on tbe farm. Cut out the raspberry canes that have borne fruit this year. . .

Many of these requests come from persons who Mm to'doubt the truth of tbe monthly coinage statement, while 'others aak for shipments of 1SW duHors with- a view to refuting statements that no silver dollars ore .now being coined. These requests have been complied with as fast as received, and tbe treasury offi­ cials desire to call public attention to the fact that when silver dollacs are ordered in sums of dr multiples of $500 they arc shipped nt the' expense of tbe Govern­ ment, but when smaller soma arc or­ dered, the shipments are made at the ex­ pense of the person ordering. There is now in tbe treasury $10,500,­ 899 In free silver, that la. -silver which may be obtained In exchange for any lawful money, but the demaud just now is so keen for 18SW5 dollars that it seems probable that by the beginning of October tho department will be compeiled to de­ cline to pay out silver dollars, except in exchange for silver certificates or treaanry notes of 1890. The law requires certain amounts of silver to be held in the treasury to cover outstanding silver certificates and treas­ ury notes, and when tlie minimum is reached silver pajmenta would be re­ fused even in exchange for gold or in pay­ ment of warrants on the treasury. The number of standard silver dollars coined Isst August is shown by the offi-, dal statement to have been $2,G50,0«JO; since Feb. 1 last, $11,212,412, and since November, 1?93. ^15.109,491.

Interest has b.- a aroused at tbe State Department by the recent action of Cana­ dian Gossrument surveyors in so locating the one hundred and forty-first meridian aa to throw 2i»» gold mines into Canadian territory. This Is likely at any time to precipitate such a conflict of authority aa cannot be ignored by tbe Governments of the United States and Great Britain. These mines nre now operated by Amer­ icans, thousands of whom have gone to the Alaskan fields aloce the discovery of gold. The miners will not readily submit to the rules and regulations prescribed by the Canadian mounted police. The offi­ cials of th«. State Department do not in any degree rocognise the survey. A con­ vention. joint committee and treaty will be required before thia Government can acknowledge that the work haa been per­ formed. Negotiations are now pending with Great Britain for a convention to hare a joint commission of astronomers appointed to survey and locate tbe one hundred and forty-first meridian from Mount St. Ellas to ffte northern limit The expectation prevails that in view of threatened disturbances, which may ne­ cessitate the sending of troops by both Gorernments to that region, the pending negotiations on the subject will be press­ ed to a conclusion.

With nil these classes.. the visitor warmly sympathizes. and fur­ ther concludes that the ocean exists, perhaps not primarily, but incidentally to the end that he may be amused dur­ ing a few weeks In the summer when It is too hot to stay at home, and he has not enough money to go to Europe.

Every one who has spent a summer at a seaside resort has noted the remark­ able number of old men and women to be seen on evfry band, and this In spite of the theory that lack of excitement contributes to longevity. These things, however, are merely comparative. Hu­ man nature can accommodate Itself to almost any surroundings, and. becom­ ing accustomed to them, regard them, however exciting they may be to others, ns everyday matters. Thus It Is that fishermen and mountaineers live to old age. even in the midst of excitements and alarms, for those who spend their Ilves on the ocean have as many dan­ gers to confront as those who pass their days In conflict with the unspeakable Turk.

DICKENS* DUMMY BOOKS. “ “Gad’s Hill’ was n merry house," writes Stephen Fiske In fondly recall­ ing incidents of bls visits to Charles Dlckstut. in an article telling of the penkmnl side of the novelist In the La­ dies’ Home Journal. "Dickens was a Wellspring of mirth, and his humor in­ fected the whole party. Often, whes 1. came down front London, he v.-ould walk out and lean against the debrpost, while I was at the gate, and we would about with laughter over the fun that we had had and were going to have. When everything else failed the li­ brary was an unending amusement The room was lined with books from floor to ceiling, even the backs of the doors being'bookcases; but the books on the doors anti along the floor were bogus. Dummy backs, had been letter­ ed with titles nnd pasted on the glass, and the titles had been selected by such wits as Dickens, Yates, the Collins brothers, .Albert Smith, and Mark Lemon, of Punch. We used to sit on the floor to study this mock library and rot: over with delight at some clever satire. I remember The Virtues of Our Ancestors,’ a volume so thin tbnt the title had to bo printed lengthwise; ‘Five Minutes In India, by a British Tourist,’ in two volumes ns large as an unabridged dictionary; ‘Lives of the Poets," a mere pamphlet; ’Eggs on Ba­ con.’ to match ‘Coke on Littleton;’ ‘Statues Erected to the Duke of Wel­ lington,’ fifteen portly volumes, and there were dozens of other quips nnd cranks. A catalogue of these bogus books should have t>een-preserved, but nobody thought of writing It out, no­ body realized that Dickens would ever die.” ••KING JOSEPH.” Ralph Granger, a rich mine owner of San Diego .t’aJ., Is the fortunate pos­ sessor of the finest collection of rare violins in.America—perhaps the finest private collection In the world. Among the dozen treasures the most previous and the sweetest of all is the famous "King Joseph” of Gtiarnerl. the crown­ ing achievement of that master's life, an Instrument with a tone as rich, ns sweet and ns mellow as Calabrian honey. This celebrated sounding board has a history running bark through 1150 years, and has. stood hi all that time unrivaled as a talisman of melody. Other great masters in the art of HiuEr-making are represent­ ed In the Son Diego collection. There is a Lupot, a Stainer, a Guadagnlnf. There Is. too. a fiddle from the bauds of Giovanni Mazzini. who learned bls art from the father of all vlolln-mak- ers. Gaspan dl Salo. The wealth of beauty of this collection can be ap­ preciated only by one-in touch with the mysteries of the craft- the color values of the rich old varnishes, the curious turns fc the magic scrolls, the swell of the body and the mysterious fasten­ ing of rare, selected woods, into which was breathed the very soul and life blood of the maker. Mr. Granger did not make his collection, lie bought It outright for the sum of $20,000 at the •ale of the estate of the late IL D. Haw­ ley of New Haven. Conn., who spent a life and a fortune in picking up these old masters. Explicit Instructions. "What you want to do,” said the- old politician to the young man who had volunteered to do missionary work among the voters Ina remote section of the country, "is to make yourself per­ sonally jwpular. if you can make peo­ ple like you they’re almost sure tovote your way.” "Yes, I suppose so. Yon mean that I am to cultivate an unaffected style of speaking and that 1 am to use small words and put my argupients into homely fihrase. wherever it is possible1 to do so. 1 am to sedulously avoid any­ thing. either in the matter of my dis­ course or In the manner of its delivery, which may be beyond the comprehen­ sion of my audience. or which may pussibly create a prejudice against me be­ cause, in the opinion of my audience, it savors of affectation.” The old-time politician dropped Into his chair and. looked weary. "No,” he said emphatically, “that is not It at all.” "Have 1 misinterpreted your instruc­ tions?" iou have. What I mean is that whenever a woman bolds a baby up at you you hare to eburk it under the chin and kiss it. aud whenever you see a man with a dog you have to stop and tell the owner that it’s one of the finest thoroughbred specimens ynu ever laid your eyes on.

The forces of the dynamiters were to hare been concentrated upon London, where it was planned to give many • dynamite demonntrations in quick succession about the time of the assasslnatiou of the Czar and the Queen. While action was being car­ ried fcrwnrd in London Bell was to have attended to several dynamite outrages in Bcotlaad for the purpose of distracting the authorities. That much, at least, is given out nt Scotland Yard, nnd ntore, it is said, of even a more startling nature will follow. The Scotland Yard detect­ ives acted promptly and quiqkly. They had been dogging the steps of the con­ spirators in America, nnd police agents followed the Invincible* everywhere after their arrival In Europe. This conspiracy goes back to the mur­ der of Ixird Frederick Cavendish and Mr.i Burke in Phoenix Park. Dublin, in 1882.' The warrant on which Tynan was arrest­ ed was that L-hich was issued fourteen years apo charging him with participa­ tion in the Phoenix Park crime. That he was let go at that time is considered a triumph of detective strategy. For four­ teen years his every movement has been watched, and there Is uo doubt that the details of the vast conspiracy, with all its ramifications, will Im* laid bare. A significant feature of this situation is that the Information which explained to the police the meaning of Tynan's ac­ tions and the purpose of his trip to Eu­ rope is said tP have come from some of the political prisoners who were recently released by the Government. These men had left America for England thorough­ ly disguised and under assumed names. That Mae of .'hem were arrested on board DRS. KENNEDY & KERGAN,^8ROs.HTEmrr Job O N E G IV E S R E L IE F .

Other estimates run pretty Kiticb all the way upward from this figure.; The official CRtimate is cou­ pled with the allegation that many of those killed were in reality Turk*, but that they were buried with the Arme­ nians, aud so their number went to swell Ifce *nr“. 4 number of Armenian vic­ tims. This is undoubtedly designed as on apology and exnfanf&on of the nsser1100 contained in the note of the powers that the savage bands which murderous­ ly attacked the Armenians and pillaged their houses were not accidental gather­ ings of faaatical peoploor undirected mobs, but that there was every indication of spe­ cial organisation, nnd of Its being known to, if not directed by. the authorities. In foreign circles the statements Ihnt Turks were killed clung with the Armenians ia denied. The actual number of the victims of the disorders was certainly 5.000. and will probably reach ti.000. ’The military nnthoriths state that three soldiers were killed nnd thirty were wounded. The iPorte states that 170 Mussulmans were wounded. All Mussulmans who Imre yet been tried by the extraordinary tribunal appointed to pass judgment on those'im­ plicated in the recent massacre have been acquitted of the charge of complici­ ty. The evidence against many of those was drannl by foreign residents cnuclu•ive, awl the failure to hold them adds to the cuts viclion that thfr Porte has no in­ tention of complying with the demand of the powers that ihq culprits shall be brought to punishment. In view of this failure to punish the authors of the out­ rages upon the Armenians, the state of terrorism among the Armenians continues waabated. nnd the exodus of these people Coes on with no diminution.

CHICAGO'S ALLEY L SOLD. Gcorse Adami *nd Leslie Carter Arc The Chicago and South Side Rapid Transit Company, known to all World's Fair visitor* ns the "Alley L” road, was sold Wednesday morning by Perry Hull, acting on an order from the court. George E. Adams nnd Lcshc Carter, representiug the first mortgage bondholders, bid in the road at $4,000,109 and $100,000 for 24 piece* of rent estate. Before offering the road Mr. Hull stated that no bid would be considered unless a de(>osit of $2(X>,000 as a guaranty of good faith had previ­ ously been made.. At this juncture Sid­ ney C. Eastman, representing G. E. Jone* nnd other stockholders, announced a for­ mal protest against the sale of the road, nnd stated that suit would be brought, in the appellate court if the talc was con­ summated. The first thing offered was the railroad proper, the minimum bid which would Y»e considered being placed at $4,090,000. Leslie Carter immediately steiqHHl forward and offered $4,000,109. representing himself nnd George E. Ad­ ams. This was the only bld made, nnd the road was declared sold at that figure. Twenty-four pieces of real estate were then offered separately U*ith no bidder*. Then they were offend In groups, but no bids were made, and they were finally placed on the block as a whole. The prtqtorty was bid in at $100,000 by Mr. Carter for himself and Mr. Adams, theirs l>eing the only offer. Thi* completed the sale, and the large crowd quickly dispers­ ed. one hour and a half having elapsed during the sale of over $18,000,000 capi­ talized property.

Fight Against the WcstcmUnion. J. Pierpont Morgan says that there is no truth iu a published story that he was to conduct a fight for the American Bell Telephone Company against the Western Union Telegraph Company. The best in­ formation obtainable was that negotia­ tion* were iu progress for a renewal of the contract between the Bell nnd the Western Union companies, which has Ini-n in existence for seventeen years and which expires in November next. When the New York Telephone Company was recently organized the board of directors was constituted largely of representatives of the Bell and Western Union interests. The control of New York company is in the hand* of the' Western Union, but it Operates nnder a license from the Bell company. A month ago the story was printed that the control of the Bell com­ pany had been or was to l*e secured by the Western Union company. The story was denied, and it was said that the re­ lations between the Western Union nnd Havana advices any that El Tabayo’s the Bell company were unchanged nnd rei<ort about the coming tobacco crop la were not likely to b? changed. incorrect.

Conditions Generally Favorable for- Reports by States on the condition of crops show that the danger of frost has. been generally passed. The general ab­ sence of rain in the Southern States hasbeen very favorable for cotton picking, its which ha* been made rapid progress. The continued dry weather has impaired thooutlook for top crop, which in many sec­ tions will be a complete failure. Con­ tinued cool and rainy weather ha* re­ tarded the maturing of late corn iu Iowa and Northern Missouri, nnd in North Da­ kota the crop was injured by frosts on. the 9th and luth. Cutting has progressed favorably, and husking and cribbing are in progress iu Nebraska aud Illinois. In the States of the central valleys the week has been especially favorable fur plwwiagand seeding. Reports by States follow: . Illinois—Corn cutting ha* born pushed rap­ idly.

The *o« should b* rich, well <lr»lned, w«U plowed, thoroughly pul­ verised, and kept free from weeds un­ til the crop Im* matured. Caring for the crop after It la done growing re squire* much skill and painstaking at­ tention. Formerly, and even to-day SvlH-re beans are raised on a small *cale, the bunches were pulled by hand and placed in piles until thoroughly dried out To-day large growers use machines for cutting off the plants. A puller Is shown in Fig. 1. Two rows pre pulled at the same time. The hori­ zontal knives run just beneath the sur­ face of the ground and cut off the stems. The tops are brought close to­ gether by the rods above the knives. They can then be easily gathered up with a fork nnd placed lu the shock. Allow tho shocks to remain in the field until thoroughly dried. The shocks after thorough drying can be placed in a stock or a hay mow. Care must aljways be exercised to prevent much packing while being stored, otherwise molding will ensue. Avoid tramping *by placing a board for the operatos to stand upon. When ready thresh, using A bean thresher. Small lots are beaten out with a flail, nnd cleaned by means of a hand fanning mill. • After threshing It pays to pick out the broken beans, also the discolored ones. Especially is this true where the crop is raised for seed. This may be accomplished by spreading out upon a •white-covered table and removing the trash and defective beans. A number of machines have been Invented for ex­ pediting this work,’one of which is shown in Fig. 2. The (beans to be nicked nre placed in the hopper. A force feed j Kisses them regularly through the hopper Into the perforated cylinder, where they are freed from dust and trash. They then'fall upon a white canvas belt which Is moving slowly toward the operator. While on this canvas, the discolored and broken Specimens are easily seen and removed. The perfect beans remain until they fall into the spout provided to convey them to a sack or other.receptacle. For large quantities there are machines upon the market run by steam or horse power.

If a little dry straw is thrown on the cock so as to absorb the moisture at night, when the outside cold air condense* It, the stalks below it will come out green looking, yet slightly softened from tho heat to which they hare been subjected. Stalks thus cured will be eaten much more readily than stalks. that have dried up by being exposed in stocks to drying winds. All farmers have no­ ticed that in winter it is the corn stalks that have been heated and even molded in the mow that will be preferred by cows to stalks that hare been dried in the wind and without tho heat needed to soften the outcry shell of the stalk. The moist stalks ore also more nutri­ tious, ns in drying out tbo carbon in them turns inio woody fibre, nearly in­ digestible. In putting up the cocks they should be small, so as not to heat too much and blacken the stalks. For th* same reason they should not be left long before being drawn to the barn or Awn In rm for Country Homes.

Winter and Fnmmrr Price* of Egg», Always In the fall the price of eggs goes up, partly bec.-ir.se the supply de­ crease* then, and also because, with cool weather those who prepare eggs for keeping in winter have more confidence and begin to buy extensively.’ We have often wished that no method had ever been discovered for preserving eggs. Then the winter price would be always what It cost* to produce eggs in win­ ter. Both the egg producer and the consumer would then be-better satis­ fied. It really discourage* the use of eggs to buy some and have them plain­ ly a trifle stale, not changed enough a* the dealer will tell you to hurt them.

She la the wife of a young man formerly well known as a Ideal politician. but who, for several mouths jiaat. has been bor­ dering upon Imbe­ cility and has been MRS. UAxnEF.KV.-. unable to work or attend to any kind of business. When Handerkin was a guard at the Mld,winter Fair, in full possession of his mental faculties, he made a note to the Berkeley Bank of Savings for £430, giving a mortgage on his home. Some­ time after this his mind gave way. and since that- time he has been unable to provide for his family or make pro­ vision tor the cancellation of the debt. The time came at last when the mort­ gagee demanded the money and nonet was forthcoming. Hnnderkln was a mental- wreck. his wife, overpowered with her cares and her sorrow, could do nothing to avert the blow, and the Berkeley bank brought suit to fore­ close. Thursday the case was set for trial. Mrs. Hnnderkin hoped against hope from the day the note matured that sho could gain time to raise the money to keep the roof over the heads of her husband and herself. She begged for the one and sought for the other. She liad no success in either case, and had almost abandoned herself to absolute despair until Wednesday afternoon, when hope gleamed anew. Something like an inspiration came to her, one of those rifts in the cloud of- poverty which let in a promise v( sunshine, however so weak. She knew that she must have the money in Oakland be­ fore 10 o'clock. Thursday or else de­ fault would be taken and her bonic would be another**.

Within fifteen days the price of wheat in Chicago hns advanced 10 cents, and there is more buying as prices work, higher. For five consecutive days there has been an advance above the closing figures of the previous^ day, and last week the advance was 7% ••ents. This has brought about n more confident feel­ ing In everything in tiie way of grain and provisions, and the despoadept feeling that has prevailed for two months is fast disapearing. Six-culatioa is broadening, and the fanner is receiving the benefit. The market Friday was a daisy. The wise traders, who thought 65 cents for December was high-water mark, and sold out their long wheat at a fair profit, as well as the short seller, who has beenfeeling fnr the top to get out a line, thought they had a cinch. and played for a break. They got it. as December sold from 6514 cents to <11*4 cents. Then the situation changed, and the early Mllt-r* suddenly wanted their wheat back. It was nn ordinary market up- to midday, but in the last hour the price advanced steadily. After the close sales were made at 07*4 cents. Fifteen days ago. nt 57% cents, it hnd no friends. Now it hns rn abundance of them. Tbe feature of the advance is that pric**< all over the world nre moving up as fast as'they do in Chicago, nnd the rush wheat is being taken by millers and exporters faster than at any time in years. There is no manipulation, but simply a supply and demand market. A coterie of big traders are arrayed on the bull side, who have gna’ «c;ifidencc in the future of values. They are John Cudahy. W. R. Linn and W. T. Raker. They bought wheat because they Ixdic.td it cheap, and W. T. Baker Iocs not hesi­ tate to say that he believe* it will sell at $1 before another crop is raised.

It Is better to do this than run the risk of losing excellent queens and swarms. The bees will never leave for good If the queen does not accompany them. This, of course, has reference to first swarms, as second swarms may Issue at any time, with a young queen fully fledged, like Minerva from the head of Jove, ready for flight and legiti­ mate business. These latter can also be prevented by opening the hives after they have cast swarms, examining carefully the combe and cutting out ail queen cells, but one tn each hive. If this la done no second awarm will tasue.—Colman's World. ■ Flootinc Fence. An excellent water fence Is shown herewith.

System is especially needed in farm work, because thrift of so many living things is In the power of the farmer. There should be a regular hour for feeding stock. Animals soon learn tbe hour for their meals when given regularly, and are impatient of delay. Bawling. Ideating or squealing for an hour before each meal does not hasten tbe development of fat in calves, lambs or pigs- At other times the food is given too soon, tbe animal not being hungry nnd not prepared to make the best use of It. There should be a cer­ tain hour at which to begin feeding in tbe morning and a time at which to quit feeding at night, ar rather evening, for we don't believe In feeding after dark except In tbe shortest December days.

Because a hog wlDxtat anything Is no reason why it abould be either offered or allowed to eat decayed, odorous and unclean food. It is expected that Ulti­ mately tbe hog will be eaten by our­ selves or some one who would like to be os squeamish about taking anything that is unclean Into their systems. There ought to be no such tiling os a swill barrel, bolding for weeks and even months a compound of sour milk, dish washings and other refuse from the kitchen or table. There Is no rea­ son why the daily product of swill should not be eaten as soon ns made. Krery day's neglect to dispose of It lessens Its value, besides tbe danger which every neglected swill barrel is to the health of all in the house, or even In tbe neighborhood.

We should come as near ns pos­ sible supplying these preferences. If your hens lay soft shelled eggs It Is because there Is not enough lime In their food.

After, the usual formalities of opening such n meeting had been condnded, the first rcfkilntlou prop&ed by a Conserva­ tive and seconded by n Liberal, was put.

When Mr. Gladstone rose to apeak he looked WeR and hearty for tr man of his yearn of herd work. He bowed repeated­ ly in response to the outburst of cheer­ ing which greeted him. When he was able to make himself heard Mr. Glad-' atone, after n 'few preliminary remarks, moved th? following resolution, which waa rcerived with thunders of applause, during which every jM-roon present was upon hrs or her feet wildly waving hats, handkerchiefs, sticks or umbrellas: "That this nireting trusts that her Ma­ jesty's minister*, realizing to .the fullest extent the terrible condition in which their fellow Christians are placed, will do everything possible to obtain for them full security nnd protection; and thia FAC-SIMILE diplomatic relstitma are gland should inform the Bull an that "he would consith-r the means of enfordng her just nnd humane demands.

NUMBER 6 FOR 8TATB BENATOB. FRANK MERRITT OF CHARLOTTE.. Frank Merritt, the subject of thia sketch, is one of the reliable, hustling men of Eaton county, and at the Re­ publican Senatorial convention re­ cently held at Nashville, was nomi­ nated for State Senator for the 15th Senatorial District, comprising Barry and Eaton Counties. He was born In Canandaigua County, New York, Nov­ ember 5th, 1850, and when the lad was only six years old he moved with hla rents and settled on a farm in Hillsle County, Michigan, and II years later, in 1867. located on a farm InKal­ amo, Eaton County, where both of his parents died, Mr. Merritt still owning the farm, which to him is surrounded with all the pleasant memories of youth. Mr. Merritt received his ed­ ucation in the country schoolsand at Charlotte. From the latter place he went to the University of Michigan an® later graduated from the Detroit Med­ ical College, but on account of ill health bad to abandon the practice of medicine many years ago, and entered a Hr has always been greatly Inter­ ested agriculture, owning a large farm, and devoting much tigieand^ttention to It. He has been one of the Board of Directors of the Eaton County fair for the Rast 10 or 12 years and has always been an exhibitor of stock and a farm produce.

The little girl who has lost her doll suf­ fers just ns much as forty years later •he will when she low's her husband. perImps more; the Ixjy who breaks hla wagon Is just as much concerned as hla father when the latter loses money: thbse things sire all comparative. This matter of going to school, for Instance, Is to' boys and girls a source of real •uffering. nnd. though their elders laugh at It. the approach of the fall term rep­ resents to thd childhood nnd youth of the land ns much genuine misery as tlrt? THE NEW TEACHERS ADDRESS. outbreak nt a civil war. According to the statistics furnished by the Bureau of Education, there are in the district •chools jilone of this country over 13..■000.000 children enrolled, while prob­ ably enough are euteretHn all other in-stltutions to bring the number up to 15,000.000. Fancy the misery endured by 15.000.000 young of the human spe­ cies at being forced to go to school: the barrels of tears tliat are sited, the mil­ lions of complaints, the trillions of sighs and objections, the quadrillions of wish­ es tluit they did not have to go. The fact that the misery endured by the little folks Is small misery, and about TIBST DKPAKTt'RE THOM the autumn term with its pedagogues and Uxiks will come as surely and as boon as the wnson can roll around. About this season fhr fact liecomes em­ phatically impressed on the juvenile tntellect by the preparations In his behalf made by the pa rents and others Inter­ ested in his welfare, and the liberal advertisements by widest wake nnd en­ terprising firms.of their fresh and sty­ lish supplies of school clothing anil shoos far youths and misses. Then it is that the boy begins to realize that the dreaded hour is near at hand, and the miss just emerging from short dresxes finds the tears welling up to her eyes as she reflects that uo matter Wiiat liberty she may have enjoyed during the vacation, the time of permanent re­ lease 1* not yet. But everything has Its humorous side, and the humors of the term open­ ing ore just as pronounced as those of a variety show, says the Globe-Demo­ crat. The old-time district school has been the subject of many Jests, and not a few writers of marsed ability have exercised their talents on the comic phases of school life In the country, but no pen can do anything like Justico to the first day of the fall school term in days gone. lu the first place, i here was generally a new teacher, for the wages were so low that few teach(rs could afford tojitay more than a few months In the same place without risk of starvation. The new pedagogue gathered his flock before him on rhe first day. nnd a motley flock it was. He nt tended'"preaching” most likely lu the same building the day before, had n preliminary survey of the lambs of his fold In their Sunday ralnment, and probably was well pleased with the looks of his futuro-pupllk They were on dress parade and made n creditable showing, the boys a little uncomforta­ ble in their Bunday clothes. buL bardiv more so than their fathers Jn the stiff, Lot, black .broadcloth that had done duty In the house of prayer for half n generation; tue girls, a little shy, nnd nil critical of the new teacher, but friendly and hospitable as country peopie are wont to be. Oh the Monday, however, any Illusions he may have HOME. matters that their elders do not regard ■ as worthy of serious notice, makes no -difference, to the children it Is real and -exceedingly hard Jo bear. Theoretically, youthful woes should -be in complete harmony with the old ■copybook maxim, "Knowledge is pow<er.” Practically, the average young­ ster far more heartily coincides with the opinion expressed by the author of the book of Ecclesiastes, "He that ilncrenseth knowledge inereaseth sor­ row." There is something in the nature -of childhood antagonistic to trouble, .and very little if any effort is needed to ■shake it off. When ' e school term Is ■ended—whether In the lower-grade •chools. wrestling with the mysteries ■of grammar and spelling, od in the jaeademlea and universities, where alge­ bra and geometry are dished up In dally doses and Greek and Latin from the Fleee de resistance—and the youngsters ^k their books and start for borne, the world is full of brightness and the vacation seems to have no end. So many plans are laid, so much pleasure 1* anticipated, that the youthful mind entirely loses sight of the fact that -4ftme has a habit of flying, and that cherished were dispelled. The boys were In their everyday clothes, with their pantaloons tucked into the tops of their IkmIs. and each was oqulpj>ed with a.plleof books that were used dur­ ing the term of the Inst pedagogue. Of course the new teacher made n speech and lu diplomatic language outlined his policy, and equally, of course bo read a long set of roles and regulations for the government of the school, and after reading tnern he put them care­ fully away, to be seen and heard of no more. Occasionally there would be a vague reference to rule 1 or 2, a refer­ ence that was commonly lest on the flock, but further than this the rules were inoperative, and the teacher, after a few appeals to the sense of pro­ priety of his charges, secured ortjer by moral suasion aided and abetted by a stout switch, which, when not in active use. stood conspicuously In the corner.’ As a general thing, however, it must be admitted, the switch was used only ns a last resort, for when applied vigor­ ously enough to produce the required results It left perceptible marks and contusions on the young rustic exterior, marks that could afterward Im? ex­ hibited nt home with dire complaints nnd would possibly result in n subse­ quent visit of an enraged parent to the temple of education. The city peda­ gogue has now learned a trick In this connection that empltasixes strongly the advance of pedagogic science. When it becomes desirable to rectify tl c Idiosyncrasies of his pupils, he takes half a yard of rubber hose, wherewith he can extract ear-splitting howls and excruciating yells from the young Ideas without leaving on their cuticle any outward or risible sign of their haring undergone unusual pun­ ishment. But If the country pedagogue was then behind his dty brother in the mat­ ter of birch, be was a long way abend of him when It came to classification. In the city schools all this is done by rule and precept, so that the dty teach­ er bos nothing to do but follow the, -=■1. QUEEREST OF HAILSTONES. by the variety of tex.t-books. By the crosses to bear patiently. It Is only exercise of a little Ingenuity Ito could when the first few weeks bare reduced A NECESSARY PRELIMINARY. get twenty pupils Into forty classes, nnd hear them all in the course of the day. But tho feat demanded thought, for as the school was conducted on the principle that every scholar ought to do l>otli his studying and Ids reciting within the limits of the school hours, no little calculation wns necessary to enable one to find time to study bls lesson while another was reciting, and when this problem wns multiplied by the number of pupils and of lessons, it must be conceded that the country teacher needed brains In order to solve the difficulties that lay before him. The opening of the term was, for him, a time of mental exertion, and he wast­ ed more phosphorus In the effort to classify his young people than would be needed to organize a campaign. ' Great as Is the burden of misery brought by the school opening to alt grades of youngsters, to none is it pro­ ductive of more genuine sorrow than the young girl Just budding Into wom­ anhood. She Is just beginning to real-. Ize what Is meant by growing up—is just leaving dolls and takiug to beaux.. School in the fall has due horrors.for her sensitive mind. She does not see why she should l>e compelled to attend when other girls, scarcely-older than herself, have long dresses nnd beaux and a good time. Nor Is she to be com­ forted by the suggestion that only two or three years will elapse ere she is at liberty, for two or three years under such circumstances look as long as two or three eternities. Ti>e young man In the case does not take matters quite so hart!. To lie sure, he bates to go to school, but lie recog­ nizes the fact that the "governor" says he must, and is ready to concede that I "what the governor says goes.” But to the boy at school? or college, there are open many avenues of amusement and sources of instruction that ' arc closed to the girl*. Re may have nn im­ mense amount of fun out of the new students by hazing tlfbrn: he may stand them upon the floor, and compel them to dance for his edification, or may In- gist that oue shall sing a comic song, while another weeps at the suggested Ideas, amPin many other ways may oblige them to contribute to bis enter­ tainment. He may fight with other boys, trad so Improve bis mind, to say nothing of the mental advantages to be gained from .base-ball. foot-ball, rowing and running away from the col­ lege watenman. So It is easy to see that so far os solid advantages are con­ cerned. the boy Is far ahead of the girl. affairs to a system that her nervotu fears become somowhat'jlulled. Then, the’plump. rosy cheeked "sehooimarm" treats It all ns business. She sees her little world constantly renewing Itself, like an ever-flowing strgain; every year witnesses the exit of thousands from the school room who will never enter It again.

Humboldt, the great scientist and nn undisputed authority on atmospheric ns well as otjier natural pltrnomena. tells of a hailstorm which passed oyer Tuscany on March 14, 1813, every ice globule of the entire fall being of a beautiful orange color. Five years prior to that extraordinary event. Carrlola, Germany, was treated to a fall cf five feet of blood-red snow. This was followed by a fall of blue hail, which Is said to have given "the whole face of. nature an exceedingly curious aspect” Red hailstones fell In Amsterdam In 1726, at Lohdou In 1GG3 (during the time of the great plague), and nt divers places In Ireland and France during the curly part of the present century. in 1823 a monstrous hnlbtoue fell at Munson, Mass. It is described in the Waltham Register of July 15 of that year as follows: "Extremes, four feet long, three feet wide and -two feet thick. Aftef* the rough part of the body had been removed then* remained a clear, solid block of Ice two feet three Inches long.one foot and six Inches wide and one foot and three Inches thick." The most extraordinary hailstorm of history, as far as the queer shapes of the hailstones were concerned, was that Which occurred on thp Wadi Oasis In the I>escrt of Sahara In 1851. The In­ dividual ice chunks were of all im­ aginable forms. There were wheels with four, six nnd eight spokes, dumb bells large and small, triangles, cylin­ ders, both solid and hollow, some of t be solid ones l»cing as much ns six inches In length nnd not larger In di­ ameter than a l«?nd pencil. The comman round hailstones congealed to­ gether In their descent, forming Into fantastic pyramids, like the old pic­ tures of the plled-up cannon balls; some took upon themsehnes the forms of gi­ gantic bunches of grapes, aud other musses "fell in the shape of necklaces, crowns, crosses, etc.* In a hailstorm in Wisconsin In 188G the Individual "stones" were of many odd shapes and forms. Some were shaped, like ginger snaps, others like watches, loaves of bread, etc.—St. Louts Republic. LI Hunt Chang's Curiosity.

Some of the schools arc pri­ vate ventures, others are run by cor­ porations or universities, some are conducted for gain, others purely In the cause of knowledge.

Tribate to the Combine. For the first time in their history Min­ nesota and South Dakota will consume corn for fuel the coming winter, says a Minneapolis correspondent. The high prices for coal, averaging about $2 a ton more than a year ago. are res;»nsible for this action. A medium grade of soft coal now costs from. $4.75 to $3.23 a ton. while anthracite is held at anywhere from $9.50 to $11, according to the freights and the distance from competing coal companies. It is claimed that com, selling at about 11 cents a bushel on the farms, is much cheaper than cither variety of fuel, be­ sides being handier and keeping the mon­ ey at home. Neither Minnesota nor Dakota have been corn growing States for more than four or five years, the climate having been considered too cold. That they are now actually arranging to burn their surplus •npply I* one of the evidences of a change in Northwestern conditions. Another evi­ dence is the fact that Minnesota is this fall supplying a large share of the home market with apples. Up to .five years ago the State was supposed to be too cold to grow anything but the crab variety. Now some of the finest apples to be found in the Northern markets are home grown. In North Dakota, it is claimed, the ex­ tortions of the coal trust haw given a great boom to the lignite fuel industry, and more home coal will be mined iu the Missouri counties than ever before, high prices having widened the area it can be profitably carried by rail. Some of the railroads are reducing lignite freights and making every effort to assist in the use of the fuel, it is safe to say. in a general way. that no Eastern mined coal will this winter find its way west of the Red Hirer Valley, and that Dakota fuel will be used extensively in Minnesota also. Though Du Maurier now stands at the head of the English novelists, it must not be forgotten that his greatest success wa* achieved by beginning at the foot.

It Is .almost impossible to find twelve-rowed ■ [Flint corn that will yield a half bushtel of grain from a full bushel of ears. (But the Dent corn being long grained and narrow, will much overrun th!* .measure. We have seen some of the device for shocking conx. early Dent varieties with a cob *o [•mall that when the corn was on it and . a paper rightly fitted over the ear the grain when removed would fill the pa­ per to the top, the loose corn In the palper gaining enough apace, ns compared with Ils compactness on the ear to off­ set the bulk of the cob. •‘the only time .when this could be done with Dent corn rwas in the fall while the grain was full of sap. Both the grain and cob of Dent corn shrink a great real while drying, and do not show as well in spring as just after the crop is harvested. A Handr Cart. • The ’improvement” In this farm cart Is the drop axle, permitting a cart of double depth of body, which allows much greater capacity. Such o cart Is ’ also extremely useful lu moving very young nnimals, as a calf that has been dropped in the pasture. The rear is compost'd of two doors that shut and are held by two stout hooks, thus giv­ ing easy .across to the bottom of the cart. Such a cart will be found extreme­ ly handy. A cow that is angered or worried about anything will lessen her milk yield, aud will hold St up as much as she can. The secret of successful milk­ ing Is to make the cow as contented as possible. It Is a good plan a: ail times to have some extra feed for the cow to eat while she Is being milked. Then if the milking 1* done properly, that also gives a pleasurable sensation and will cause the cow's muscle* to relax to that the last drop ot milk may be ex­ tracted. This Is necessary to keep up the yield. If, through worry, the cow is allowed to bold up ber milk, it will be top. One man then holds both ends of the rope nnd the other man ties’ the shock permanently with another rope. The wheel rope Is then unslackened, nnd wheels unhooked and the next shock tied. The two pulleys are large enough for a %-lnch rope sixteen feet long, which Is run through both pul­ leys. A hook is placed on onepulley aud a ring on the other. << Poultry Points. Do not try to be a fancier before you know howto be a common poultry­ man. Have your-~uests on the ground. If they are nallod'to the walls the fowls will roost,on them nnd befoul the Utter. If you keep ducks let them be Pekin. This breed gives the largest number of eggs. and the most pounds of meat for feed consumed. A cure for scaly legs Id fowls is to make a mixture of lard and kerosene oil, equal parts of each, and rub It well over the legs of each fowl affected. The disease Is caused by a parasite. When you start your poultry plant don’t try to show your neighbors what a big display you can make. Rather begin small nnd grow gradually. It will do you more credit to show that you have built up a gigantic affair than that you were able to build it all "In a day.” One of the principal secrets In yard­ ing Leghorn* is to avoid a long, narrow enclosure. A square one is much bet­ ter. Then if you wish to enter the yard, the fowls hare an opportunity to keep out of your way, and there ia leas danger of unconsciously driving them into a corner and forcing them to fly.

On the Board of Trade there was growling of the bears, and mad rushes by the balls. Small trader* were trying to find lb« bottom of the market, but kites w.tre attached to al! prices. A single feature was that wheat, in its upward flight, carried other prod­ uct* with it. Corn nnd oats joined the general advance. So did pork. Into the West went the nows that within the last three weeks and including Thursday** gain $52,000,000 ha* been added to the value of the wheat crop held by the farmcrs. Four million dollars alone was their gain Thursday. They arc that much rich­ er than they were Sept. 8. when the rise began. With the cost of producing wheat 35 cents a bushel they find in October a change in selling price from 53 cents to mon* than 70 cents. Twice the cost of production is nt their command. Wiseacre* on the board, madly gestic­ ulating at their fellows, declared that die end wns nt hand. The pit was a scene of pandemonium. But there was no weak­ ening in price*. On the contrary, amid a closing scene somewhat similar to the famous ones in the days of Hutchinson, prices remained firm, with every indica­ tion of continuing upward for day* to come. Every farm product ha* advanced in value million* tit dollars during the last fortnight. Wheat has advanced 13Vi cents in three weeks, flaxseed 17 cents, while pork gained 50 cent* Thursday over the previous day'* prices, and retainea most of its advantage to the close. The gain in dollars and cents to the farmery as near a* run be estimated, is all of $150,000,000 for hi* products. One-thirdof this advantage is in wheat alone. If corn continue* to increase it Is almost im­ possible to estimate how much will beadded to the agriculturist's wealth. With a corn crop of nearly 2,000,000.000 bush­ el* each 1 cent advance in price means n gain to the producers of $20,000,000. The price gained Thursday was 1% cents,, or more than $3,000,000. The advance in lard and ribs was great enough to reach an enormous sum when calculated on the visible supply, and the same was true of rye and the minor products of the farm. Wheat wns the inspiration which put life into all other farm products, aud En­ gland wanted wheat and corn badly. The Britishers were apparently afraid of the future of wheat, nnd their bullish en­ thusiasm passed to corn.

The room where President Cleveland will await the election news, his library, has been freshly decorated and it i* now the fair­ est and daintiest apartment in the exec­ utive mansion. The walls, w.tii their colonial rounded corners, have been hung with a new style wall paper, which i» most quaint and picturesque. The back­ ground i* a faint, greenish cream tint, and great golden roses clamber over it* surface. Those are so exquisitely de*ignr cd it seems a* though the odorous breath of the queen of flower* fill* the air in tho handsome den. This room i* termed in a laughing manner by the White House employes, the “holy of holies," because no one ever dares venture across it* threshold with­ out the President in a decidedly audible* voice ha* given hi* consent. The room is encircled by a row of low mahogany book cases, and these have been repollshed until now they gleam Hke^-well, like polished mahogany; a rare old table, large nnd round, and exquisitely inlaid with gold, hold* the President’* favorite reading matter, and th:* shine* also with a cheerful glow. Leaning against the mantel is a largo white satin banner, on which is printed in gold letter* the musical program lor the inaugural band concert of the President * first tdminlatration. Already the satin 1* yellowed by time. Another treasure is a portrait in pastel by Joe Jefferson, of GenJackson. The frame is very artistic and reminds one of Buxxard’s Bay, for it is covered with roughly spread c ream paint,, in which are sunken bit* of wreckage from the sta, pieces of old rope, amah an­ chors, queer shells and quaint old coins. This is the most homelike apartment in the old mansion, yet it is not at all a gor­ geous retreat. With her usual delicate taste, Mr*. Cleveland ha* selected for the new carpet those quiet, restful colors, Jhcfllchen gray* nnd russet browns, which suggest the touch that age impart* to shingles, and tho nails hung full of yellow rose* blend *o harmoniously that one wonders if th* honey bees and humming birds out in the gnrdeu won’t be attracted in by the** pretty evidences of her taste.

The treasury rri reived $96,200 worth of bonds last year, nnd more ore eomlug iu all the time. The oldest Ixinds presented for redemp­ tion Inst year were part of the Inqn of July and August. 1801. They were not called* till 1881. and last year $7,400 worth were presented at the treasury. They bad drawn no interest for nearly twentyfour years while they lay hidden in some­ body’s strong box. If they had continued to draw the original interest, they would have brought nn income of $444 annually to their owner. The Government has made more than $10,000 in Interest, on these bonds, reckoning at single Interest ojjly. These illustrations serve tn show what the Government profit Is. The treasury will make no less than a million dollars on bonds issued before 1895 never present­ ill for redemption, nnd It han made an much mure in unpaid Interest up to date. The officials of the Treasury De­ partment would Ih« very glad to have every loan paid withiu a week of its maturity, for under the present condi­ tion the loan account is never cloned. With a view to keeping in touch with the Gov-, ernmeut’s crcdijprs. these officials encour­ age bond buyers tn take registered rather than coupon bonds.

These two sums and the working hnlaucc kept in New York represent what the Government has made Indirectly out of this business. Probably Its profits up to the present date amount to $2.(100,000, but no exact statement will ever be made. There is a time limit of one year on the money order (or the postal order, ns it Is now called), but there Is no limit of time on the issue of a duplicate. Therefore, the Postoffice Department receives every week. for duplicatioh postal ■ notes and money orjlers which are several years old; 1380 money orders, which hail been due for more than a year, were duplicated by the department in IHfiG. If the difference between the money received and the money paid.out by the money order bureau was an indication of the Government's indirect profit on the business, here is the way Inst year's ac­ count would stand: 11 ■ .$150,700,089.77 Amount received’ . 150344.400.21 Amount paid ...

But. as I have said, there is a variation in the bojancc from year to year, nnd the Gov­ ernment docs not mttkc $365,000 a year through the destruction of m*aey orders. Even If it did. this stint would not keep the postal service of the United States running much more, than a day and a half, it costs nearly $10,000. an hour to carry Uncle Sam’s mails. No one knows whgt the Government makes in unused stamps every year, but the profit must amount to several thou­ sand dollars. Not an . inconsiderable amount of this is due to stamp collectors, nnd when the Columbian stamps were is­ sued the Postmaster General calculated that the entire cost of making uew'desigus and engraving new plates, as well ns the additional expense of printing the larger stamps, would be paid by collectors’ pur­ chases. The department was disappoint­ ed in this, but its receipts from collect­ ors in the Columbian year are estimated at more than a million dollars. The Postmaster General spoke freely of this source of income in his report, though ho was disposed to say very little about his calculations before the stamps were issued. He was afrnid some Incon­ siderate people might class the United States with those small nations and de­ pendencies which rely on the stamp colleetor ns much ns on the tnx collector. Every one of the eighteen de|M*ndencies uf France hns a full individual issue of stamps of thirteen denominations: nnd in Siberia, Tonga, the Cook Islands and other small countries the designs of stamps are changed whenever additional revenue is wanted. The philatelists pro­ test, but their protests avail nothing. Large amounts are made every year by the Government through the destruc­ tion of stamp* and stamped envelope# which have not been used.

Dear Mr, Editor: 1 took leave of you in my last letter jo»t after 1 reached the Simplon Hosplec, and promteed to tell you about It In thia The Hospice la a long, three story atone build­ ing. and was founded by Napoleon I. as a refuge for travellers. It wa» taken in charge by tbe Monks of BL Bernard, after Napoleon’s downfall, and has been main­ tained by them ever since. My stay there was one of the most Interesting experl- I found an old brother In the big hall and he at once, showed me a room, sod then took me down into the big kitchen to dry by the fire. It seemed almost like bring suddeoly dropped back into tbe middle ages, into the days when tbe mon­ asteries were the centers, both social nnd economic, for the ^utlre community. Around tbe big stove were several way­ farers beside myself. Over the tire wengreat kettles from under whose lids there issued various savory odors. The old gen­ tleman who b»d met me, removed one ket­ tle cover and dipped out a bowl of hot beef soup, and then Invited me to partake of the warming and refreshing liquid. As 1 slowly swallowed it. my eyes took In more details ot tbe place and all were as 1 had reed of them In the old tales and the histories. Peasants were running In and out. though mostly fa, getting warmth, and food, and a cheery word from a mouk. Some cabbages and'other vegetables were beeped up la one corner of the room, and . two of tbe well-fed brothers were discus­ sing the price and quality of tbe vegeta­ bles, as! supposed, and a poor deaf and dumb specimen of humanity was trying to make tbe crowd understand bow one of tbe big BL Bernard dogs, who filled the spare comers ot the room, had lately bit­ ten him. He patted tbe dog affectionately however, and seemed to like him all tbe better for IL When darkness was falling, they told us supper was ready and after a good meal we went to bed to keep warm. I looked out of my window and It seemed to me I could throw a stone from there in­ to tbe snow on tbe mountain side behind tbe bouse. Nothing grows up here except ' a few low. hardy weeds and shrubs. In tbe morning 1 found about the same crowd at breakfast as had been at supper. There were two visiting priests, several French­ men and Frenchwomen, an Italian or two, a German, and myself. Each one of us as far as 1 could see. fared as well as tbe other fa all tbe treatment we received. After breakfast some bf the visitors went one way ai>d some the other. Tbe last 1 mw was the kindly faced old brother driv­ ing the little herd of cows away to the barren pasture, while Jupiter, the oldest St Bernard dog, walked after him with slow aud dignified tread. All this kindness and entertainment Is absolutely free. No one is asked to give anything in return and lias do opportunity to do so unless be asks to be shown where tbe contribution box is. Most travellers, it would seem. would pay as much at least as they would have to pay at a hotel, but the records show that they doa’L At tbe St Bernard about 16000 persons are cared for every year and the guide book says that tbe amount contributed would not be a moderate hotel charge for one thousand. The money necessary comes from property owned by tbe order and from contributions which they solicit. I suppose one who is there in the sum­ mer can scarcely appreciate tbe self-sacri­ fice which these then make. For two or three months In summer? tbe weather Is as warm as our Octobers a.d Novembers, and there are plenty of gay and well-to-do travellers. But there are seven or eight months of winter, when everybody who comes is poor and when It is often neces­ sary to search tbe snow drifts io tbe dead­ ly storms for dying or lost travellers. The •St. Bernard is fifteen hundred feet or more higher than tbe Simplon, and tbe service there is even more arduous than at tbe Hospice where I stopped. Tbe monks generally begin their service at tbe age of nineteen or twenty, and twenty or twentyfive years of tbe work wears tbesn out and they have to go down to tbe milder climate of tbe valley to spend their last days. So I felt very respectful toward the Hospice and its inmates as 1 started down the slope toward Italy. 1 had to go down two or three miles before 1 began to find trees and then 1 got an evergreen sapling and tied it on behind my wheel as a drag. I had no brake and the descent was a good deal too steep for comfort Tbe tree IRE ALL ROBBERS, Tangible Proof Depicted on the Faces of the Guilty Ones. ALL ARE GIVEN THEIR LIBERTY.

It is best always to make ttfe hens esrn wbnt they get by aprinkllng their grain nruong cut hay or straw. If clover can be got that should be used, and when the wheat gets'scarce the hens will fill up on clover, which Is an excellent’food for egg production.

Thia is commonly'thought 1o be owing to the root crop being out from under the shade of the corn.

Some of them were millionaires, some of them day laborers, many of them employer* and thousand* of them wage­ earners. This was the compoaltioD of what wu» admittedly the largest, bi’stmanaged and the most successful parade ever witnessed in the city. It was Chi­ cago's own day, the twenty-fifth anlrersary of the fire of 1871 nnd the quartcrcenteuuial of the npbudding of the city.

He nodded to the gunner in charge of the battery section. Tbe twelvc-i»ouu'd Napoleon spoke. Chief of Police Badenoch spurred hi* horse. The great procession was in motion. Tbe step was in qnick time, and 15,000 men were continually in the line As fast u> they reached the point of dismissal they were hurried away. The slightest delay wns prevented. The distance cov­ ered by inch man in the actual line of march was three and one-half miles; his marching time wa* one hour and twenty minute*, while fire hour* was tbe time required for the procession to pa** a given point . • Sixty Thousand in Line. By actual count these were 57,733 per­ sons hi the procession. Of these, 52,231 were on foot; 2,274 were on horse ba vk, and the others' were distributed on floats, in carriage* nnd. on bicydra.. On tbe flout* were 9SU men; in carriages, 370; the band* numbered .1,430 men all told, and 240 rode in tally-ho coaches. From the stock yard* camo 700 mounted men. Ono hundred and eight cycEsts, acting aa couriers, were in line, while tbe police nn mix'red 150. Eighty-five bras* bands and forty fife nnd drum corps furnished the music. Busipesa firms represented by banners uumbored 120, while ninetysix political dub* marched in the col­ umn. Among the wheeled vehicles were 178 carriages, Hl floats, thirty-seven tally-ho coaches and oiie electric motocyde. One of the principal features was the living flag, formed by veti-ran* carrying colored iunl.r«T.a* in such position ns to represent tbe stars nnd atripe*. These men were heartily cheered all along the route, and when they reached the stand occupied by John It.

The Republicans of the Fourth dis­ trict of Michigan, comprising the counties of Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph and Van Buren, have nominated for congress to succeed Dr. Thomas, that hustling young Repub­ lican of Berrien county, E. L. Hamil­ ton, of Niles. cNo better nomination could have been made, and the people will ratify tbe choice at the polls oh November third. Mr. Hamilton's a young man, but by no means a ‘Trid.’’ He was born in this district, in Cass county, thirty-nine years ago, and is virtually a farmer boy who has risen from the ranks by his own pluck and energy. He was born and raised on a farm, and still owns and manages a flue farm near Niles. By his own ef­ forts ho schooled himself, studied for the bar, and is today one of the lead­ ing attorneys of the district. He has never been an office-holder, but has been an active worker in his party for ten years. He is a very able speaker, and thinker as well, and his addresses are clear, logical and forceful, evinc­ ing ripe judgment and clear percep­ tions. That he is fully capable of tilling the high position to which he has been nominated is not doubted by any man who knows him, and if he is elected, as he undoubtedly will be, he will do honor to tbe district. Barry county was largely responsible for Mr. Hamilton's nomination in the convention at Three Rivers, and Barry county ought to and will give him a good send-off al the polls.

He claims that when English jailers know that a pris­ oner Is hostile to the government, they proceed to "civilize" him Into' obedl-. race or entire quiet. Under this sys­ tem men have been .tarred Into weak­ ness until the skin and bones rotted, choked, tramploci, le-.ed on and beat­ en on every posslbl* occasion. An Instance ta known wb.erc a captive was put In tbe "black hole" cell, naked. No bed clothes were given him. Four wardens threw him down on the cold, dnmp cell floor. ana one of them step­ ping back, ran nt the victim, leaped In the air and came down with *botli knees on the prostrate man's chest. It 1s an absolute fact that English jailers are given to understand that Irish political prisoners are to be forced to submit to continual torment and Indignity. For Instance, n pris­ oner must polish his water can every day. At 0 o'clock the warden will tell him It is not bright enough: to polish it again. He will call hlfli from din- I ner to repent the pr-cess, and. If he i fancies, the s me t.dng will happen i every hour until far into the night. In the same way prisoners are forced to scrub a cell four ?nd five times a day, though they may be weak from exhaustion, faint with hunger. In Chatham Prlso n prisoner's hands were fastened behind him for meal times -his thirty-five days. hands were brought around to .the front and the handcuffs again placed, on the wrists. In making this change, the wardens would press the hand­ cuffs Into the wrists and pinch tbe arms until they drew blood. A public investigation will probably follow the complaints made by victims of such cruelty. From the disclosures of man­ acled men who have tossed for weeks In cells. Infested with mosquitoes. In absolute solitude, living solely on bycad and water, and dally mistreated, it ness arc so common In English polit­ ical prisons. • HOW IT FEELS TO BE OPERATED UPON FOR APPENDICITIS. t.

Best the other end on ft fork formed by fastening together two 4x4 Incii scantlings or other similar tim­ bers by means of a rope or stay chain , and spreading apart at the bottom. To tbe pole or cross piece attach two strong ropes long enough to reach the ground.

About 8 Inchc* from each end of this square timber round off a space about 3 Inches long on which place two Iron rings.. To the rings at­ tach iron hooks or stay chains.

But we never saw an old horse for which somebody was not will­ ing to pay more than it was worth. We had such an old horse once which we sold in the fall to a man who was cut­ ting and hauling Ice during the winter Tbe price was only f2fi and the whole amount was trusted. But as the horso died before spring, aa we expected It would, the note unpaid wns returned to' its maker.

They are -useless. • Have any of our readers tried a poul­ try bouse with a glass roof? Feed but one kind of grain nt a time, and cover It up with light litter. If living near a market, try tutkeys. Ducks are also profitable. Both nesting and dusting material should Im? renewed at least monthly. Keep fresh water continually before the fowls, warmed a trifle on the colder mornings. Select the best layers for breeding stock, keeping size nnd color of plum­ age as uniform as possible. Keep grit of some kind accessible to the poultry at all times. This is IndisjM*nsable to their well being. ‘'Top-Polin«'' a Stone Wall. In many sections of the country stone walls are the foundation of pasture fences. These must be “top-poled” to keep in sheep—and In many cases cat­ tle. Animals will dislodge poles lal’d in the angle formed by. two stakes. A good plan, that saves stakes also, is shown In the" diagram, a cross-section being given. One stake is driven firmly into the ground and bound to an upper stone by wire. The pole is bound also to the stake by stout fence wire, mak­ ing a fence that cannot be displaced, and one requiring only half the usual number of stakes. Farmers should Clean out the litter from under perches once a week. Tack in barrels with frequent layers of earth—dry. If possible. A Handy Ferdini Arrangement. When hens are fed In open dishes, they will persist in getting Into their food, soiling it and themselves. A han­ dy and cleanly feeding arrangement Is shown In the sketch. A board, with a rim in front, is nailed to the wall, six inches from the floor, and to tills Is hinged r, slat-work arrangement that permits the fowls to feed through It. but will not let them get into the food. It opens out from the top when one Is putting food upon the board, and re­ mains closed when shut. The Dairy.

Wherever it is desired to grow peaches on heavy soils It Is a good plan to bud the peach on the plum. They an nearly enough related to make this union a success. While the pear roots will not suffer In clay as those of the peach would do. they Will supply more and better mineral plant food for the peach upper growth than the latter would get on its own roots. But on heavy soil either for plums or peaches there should be thorough underdralnlug to secure the best results. A trotting match between the cows and tbe dog may interesting, but it will not increase tjta yield of butter. If the heifer Is a spring calf, as a rule the better plan Is to herd her so that xhe will drop her calf when she is two years old. lined. It will nt once wave from early purchase of furs, nnd give the trim nnd youthful look an<f carriage tliat the close fitting tailor nnd the dispensing with outer garments always lend. The above picture makes this plainer than words do. A glance nt it will show how all bare or cold effect is ob­ viated by the shut-up snugness of the pattern, aasl^tance coming from one of the many cap finishes at tbe top of the sleeve. If desired, this can give the suggestion of a cape without being one at all. Have you ever noticed that if a sleeve Is targe orifiulahed nt the shoul­ der. especially In tailormnde design, the dress seems suitable for the street with­ out further covering? For the pretty girl that ta going to produce her effect at tbe early meetings of her fad classes, or at the matinee or shopping, a stun­ ning vest, handsomely braided, may appear and be doubly effective in the most closely reefed, early season tailor gown. Made after this second pictured model, the result Is sure to be striking and desirable. Braiding ta now used very freely In dress trimming, and some' altogether new effects are got from It. In princt&s effects—of which new ones appear on every side—all sorts of relief to severity are given. A corse­ let, for instance. Is braided or embroid­ ered over the torso in front, while It narrows about the waist into a girdle effect. Or. a girdle Is simulated of long points that are set upward (>nd spread to the fullness of -the figure, while a couple of long tab pieces extend down to the knees In front. Buch uses of braid are only a few of the many devices that this year are making tbe princess cut suitable for nil of us. Indeed, ar­ Just how much increase In the feed of the cows should be made now must be largely determtoed by the condition of the row, which should always be one of thrift. Inasmuch as the world's record for a one day’s public butter test la,held by a Brown Swiss cow, it Is a wonder that the dairy public does not hear more about the breed. It Is said that so many dairy rows have been killed by order of the author­ ities at San Jose, Cal., that tbe price of tbe remaining healthy cattle lias ad­ vanced 3U per cent.

We would commend the above to those ardent champions of the gold and silver Iwuex, who forget that the saloon question mure vitally effects national prosperity, both financially and morally,than all other issues com­ bined. Its direct annual Cost Is doub­ le that of maintaining the Federal government, and Its demoralizing in­ fluence Is so pcrslstantly exerted In ev­ ery legislative hall in tbe land, that politics have been reduced to a mass of vilest corruption. If wladorn in­ stead ot money held sway in tbe mind of the voters the internal traffic would be annihilated. To one who refuses to be carried away with the “winds” of this cam­ paign, there are some curious things about it. On each side are ranged “men of God” who see only financial ruin If the other side wins. Pulpits have become dispensaries for “sound money” doctrine or for “free silver” teaching. Instead of quieting the rag­ ing seas of political unrest, ministers are stlrripg tbe multitudes to more determined efforts to make Nov. 3rd register success fur their side. rMoney Is not the sole measure of a nation's prosperity, and from the results of this campaign in which men’s atten­ tion has been reviled upon the dollar, It will be bard to recover. Ministers are no less men because of their pro­ fession and are exoected to have their convictions oh public questions of im­ port, but they can hardly afford to add fuel to the flame in such a burning campaign as tbe present one. Let them continue to point up, instead <>f at the dollar, whether of gold or sil­ ver. More men are. concerned about debased currency than about debased manhood, after which it is the special purpose of the pulpit to look. Dr. Henson pointedly says; “Political parties talk of protection, but it is of sheep, pig-iron, salt and such things. It is for the church to talk of homes and hearts and human souls.” Will the young men of today who follow the example of many of their pastor's, politically, be led into nobler life and action itf this campaign?

A Montana dentist’s outfit consists of stout twine, perforated bullets and a single-bareicd pistol. Wotting a tooth brush and dipping it in salt will be found very effective in the removal of tartar. The implantation of teeth is not yet a success. Not over one tooth in 15 takes root and flourishes. Imperfect teeth are a sure sign of civilization.

Who Is Mark Hanna, anyway? “I wonder If dreams come true?" Now lets kiss and make up again. Yellow still seems to be a popular color. Thank Heaven It don't come again until 1900. Billy Smith had about as much fun as anybody. ‘ Very little betting was done in Nashville this year. It was a beautiful day, and the vot­ ers turned out without urging. V Well, we don’t see why It wouldn’t be a good plan now to get down and attend to business again for a while. There was more challenging of votes done here Tuesday than was ever be­ fore done at an election In the town­ ship. The complexion of the next United States senate Is as yet so uncertain that no report can be given In The News until next week. • A large crowd of anxious voters stayed out all night Tuesday night to hear election returns. Some of them went home pleased and others were not. It is Honorable James B. Mills now if vou please. And we understand Mr. Mills Is under obligations to wear a silk hat down town on the first pleas­ ant day. Vermontville gave about 20 republi­ can majority and Kalamo about sixty. In fact, all of the Eaton county towns which adjoin Barry county gave Re­ publican majorities. Four years ago Castleton gave the Harrison electors 89 majority. This year it gives the McKinley electorsbut 77. However, In 1892 but 591 votes mere cast in the township, while this year there wereLenawee ...........702. The silyerites claim Indiana, from which returns come in very slowly, but the result would not be affected, even if their claims are valid, as Mc­ Kinley has 26 more than a majority in the electoral college, and Indiana has but !•’> votes. Menominee.......... Eaton county went for free silver, but is about the slowest county In the state to give complete returns. How­ ever, the silverltes elected every man on the county ticekt by all kinds of old majorities, the republicans saving one of the two representatives to the state legislature. The officers made a good haul of thieves Monday night. Mrs. Ira Bachellor, while standing on the street in front of Kocher’s store, no­ ticed a fellow passing by with a buf­ falo robe under his arm. She thought It looked like their robe, so Clarence Baobellot and another fellow started after him, following him around Bux­ ton's shop and back into the alley. In the mean time T. C. Downing and an aide slipped through the bank and headed the fellow off. When the thief saw he was trapped he dropped the robe and run back on Main St. where be was captured, and taken back to the place where he dropped the robe. Here another robe was also found, which afterward proved to belong to a man named Parker, from Kalamo. Tbe fellow was taken Into custody and io the morning his partner was captured while asleep in John Appelman’Abarn. A rig which It was sup­ posed belonged to the pair was found hitched in front of Jacob Young's res­ idence on North Main street at six o’clock the next morning, and taken in charge by the officers. The pair, who gave their names as McGraw of Owosso and-Baily of Ionia, were taken tollastingsby NeltAppelman Tuesday noon, and placed in charge of Sheriff McKeyitl. Here it was found that the rig belonged to Bert Bowes of Baltimore township, and had been stolen from the streets of Hastings Monday afternoon. Dep. Sheriff Will McKevittcame down that afternoon and drove the rig home. A robe and whip were missing from the buggy. John Andrews had a blanket stolen from his horse and a whip from his buggy the same evening, and Har­ ry Ehret bad two blankets stolen. It is possible, however, that some one else had a hand in the stealisg, and the officers think they have a clue. McGraw ond. Bailey however, stand a gcod show of going over the road for horse stealing, as well as for pilfering the robes.

The draw wns ojwned to allow a coal barge to pas* through, and was partially closed when the Rock­ port express came in sight. As usual tbe train slackened speed us It approach­ ed the draw, but instead of stopping at the signal it poshed on in spite uf every effort on the port of the engineer to apply the brakes and bring it to a standstill.

Joseph T- Torrence died Satunlay night nt his heme, 88 Bellevue place, Chicago. Although he had been confine,! to bis bed for only two weeks, he bad been saficring two years with Bright's diaraM*. lien. Torrence was born March/ 13. 1843. in Mercer County. Pennsylva­ nia. Before he had reached his teens he set out in the woHd to make his own way. ills tint employment was in the blast furnaces of Pennsylvania. There he learned the blacksmith trade, ami it was not long until he was promoted to the fonvnau.ihlp of the turnaet-s. Gen. Tor­ rence remained v^ith the blast furnaces until the breaking out yf the civil war, when be cnlisted'as a private in Conqiany A; One Hundred and Fitly-ninth IL*gitnent. Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Soo* after bln enlistment he became a non­ commissioned officer. During his services in the army he was woyuded" seriously four times. After the war he went to Newcastle, in his native State, where he was re-engaged in the work of sui»ervi»iag furnaces. In l.Sffl) Mr. Torrence came t» Illinois and became connected with the Chicago Iron Camjiany at Eridge|*ort. Five yenrs Inter he was np|iointed colonel of the Second Regiment of tbe Illinois National Guard. In 187G Gov. Shelby M. Cullom promoted him to brigadier gen­ eral. just a short time before the riots of 1877. The authorities adopted measure* I da ci ng Gen. Torrence in absolute com­ mand of the city during the riots. DEFICIENT Novel Defense Offered by an Preacher of the Gospel. Ex­ Something entirely new in the way of defense was sprung Friday in bchnlf of Ualx-rt Ctaytou Heslop by his counsel, Hugh (>. .Pentecost, in the New York Cpurt of Special Sessions. The defend­ ant wa* accured by W. C. Tan Antwerp, rapcrintendent of an insurance company, with having used $13J>6, collected an n policy. The plea wa* that lie was trou­ bled with ''clergymen's mind.” Ho was formerly a clergyman in England and here, and his counsel, having i-ntered a plea of guilty, urg.nl that his life and training had made him abnormally defirfc-nt in knowledge of worldly matter*. Justice Hindsdnie said hr doubted if any­ thing in a clergyman's training predis­ posed him to the appropriation of other folks' property, but sentence was susffended. At Washington ex-Senator Philetu* Sawyer, of Wisconsin, was granted let­ ters of administration on the estate of his daughter, Emma Sawyer White, who died in that city a few weeks ago. Sen­ ator Sawyer stated that his daughter died intestate, leaving a personal estate worth nix mt £iG.<M*4>, her surviving srlra being himself and her husband, Howard Gausou White, of Syracuse. Un itc«l States Consul Hurst, nt Prague, reports to the State Department that the Austrian Government is about to treble the duty on giucore to effretually bar out the better and chenjier .trti< U,fn>m Amer­ ica. Within' five months the United States >hip|H*i 2.(J4O.(I<)U pounds of this eumuodity into Austria, paying a duty of $24K) for every 220 pounds. Frank Ma'yn’^Widow Dead. Mrs. Frank Mayo, widow of the famous •ctor, who passed away only a short time «go. died very suddenly Friday evening. Mr*. Mayo had a country house near Can­ ton. Po.. iu which she had been living «incc her husband's death.

' the subtreasury had on hand mon* gnt'nback* than it.wanted. In two weeks' ■tim* $10,000,000 worth of 1 them wore dumped over ibe counters nnd the gold they represented withdrawn. There was something like $7JKM),OUO in gold in th* vault* whraxlMi rnn commenced. Chicago wa* appealed to for aid and *ent 84JKM).(W, and an eqnally large amonnt Z3secured from the mint, while tbe $1.3(X).Olio in British sovereign* recently re­ ceived from Australia were ruined into double eagles at the mint and carted to the subtreasury. Only $4XMM),(MM) of tbe entire amount wa* left after the flurry wns over. That has since been Increased by tiro deposit of over $1,000,000 upon which greenbacks have been withdrawn, aud there is every indication that the flurry i* over. Much of the gold with­ drawn went beyond the mountain*. Tbe subtreaaurie* in Satr Francisco and nt New York are the only- ones authorized to reilram greenback*. Usually the de­ mand for greenbacks is steady at^hc sub­ treasury there, a* exchange is aUaoat in­ variably in favor of New York, and It costs less to ship greenbacks than gold. SEND FLEETS. British Will Mao* Ship* oa theAtnrricaa Coast. Great Britain will have in American water* by next summer two fleet*, funn­ ing together by far the ifiost powerful naval force she has ever seat, across the Atlantic. One fleet will guard Newfound­ land and the Atlantic coast of Canada; tbe other, with headquarters at Bcrmunda. will look after the'Wrat Indian pos­ session nnd South America. The division of the station menus two British admirals on this side of tbe ocean. One will be Sir John Fisher. Who will be the other is not yet known. The Royal Arthur will lie the flagship of the British North Amer­ ican "division. while the Renown will be the flagship of the West Indian division. It is stated that there will be an ex­ change of ships of the two divisions ev­ ery eighteen months, the ships in Cana­ dian waters going to the West Indies, and vice versa. The Royal Arthur is a twin-screw cruiser of the first class, reg­ istering 7,700 tons and carrying 13 gun*. Her engines are 12,000 horse-power fin­ der forced draught. The Renown is a modern armored battleship of 12J130 tons, carrying 14 guns and having 12,000 horse­ power engines. . Apple* by tbe Billion. Throughout the States of chief com­ mercial produetfoa. including New Ed- applr* is large, according* to the s|»ecial report in tbe .New England Homestead, which places the aggregate yield at n shade tinder MUMMMXMJ barrels for all of .the United State*, ugalnyt 00,300.(KM) bar­ rels In 1805 and 57,(MM).0(M) bar­ rel* two yenrs ago. This authority say* Michigan and part* of a few other State* is phenoptennl. New England and New York have over 1«,(MM),U(M) barrel*, against little more than 7.000.009 a year ngo. while Michigan is harvesting the greatest crop of fine fruil ever secured in that State. The report covering the cen­ tral west, however, shows that in many Instances the crop is insufficient to supply home reqnirements. The Canada crop is among the largest on record. Exports from the Atlantic coast are already l.(MM),000 barrel*—a third wore-than all of last season—and the foreign markets have a capacity far absorbing further "vast quantities before spring. RUSSIA IN EARNEST. Force* the Forte to Change He In­ ternal Policy. Since the recent- visit of the Russian ambassador, M. de NelldoS, to the Sal­ tan. and the'long, important nndlvnccs which followed, it is noticeable that there ha* iicen another change for the better in the attitude of Abdul Hamid and his adviser* toward the Armenians in par­ ticular and the reform policy in general, it i* learned that M. de NrlidoS used .very plain language to the Sultan, ami it is apparent that the latter was convinced that tbe Russian ambassador wns- in earnest. This, sujipleniruted by grave rejKirts re<-tivcd by the Sultnn from the Turkish embassies nt Louden nud PariA pointing-out the distrust aud irritation caused by the attitude of Turkey, has brought about eager professions ujHiu-the part of the Turkish Government of n desire to honestly push the work of re­ form and; ns a beginning, five Christian deputy governors have been appointed in Armenia, and it is probable that there will be changes shortly in the coiuikikI tion of the Turkish ministry.

Sultan’s Councilor of State Assassin* Nouri Effendi, who has bejn assassin­ ated by Armenians in Constantinople, wns a bitter enemy of the persecuted race of Christians. The Sultan is deeply griev­ ed nt his dentil. That Nouri would meet n tragic end had been feared and pre­ dicted. No man iu the Sultan’s cabinet teas more outspoken in his enmity to the Armenians, and no one did more to render their condition unbearable. As Councilor of State he possessed great power, which he UM*d to farther the ends of his imj.erin! nnd cruel muster. It was he who successfully plotted the overthrow <*f .he Armenian patriarch. Ixniirlian. The suc­ cessor of this patriarch ns the head of the Armenian church is Mgr. Bartolo­ meos. the Gregorian bishop of Brusa. He was the locum teams of that high office pending the election of n permanent patriarch, and is highly esteemed by the Turks, for whom be has shown great friendship. Bartolomeos Is detested and distrusted by the Armenians, who have felt all the more keenly their accursed condition when their religious head is an open enemy of theirs nnd nn nvowed friend to the Sultan nnd his Mohammedan following. Nouri Effendi wax known among the Armenians ns the prime mover in tbe plot that removed the old patriarch, ami his death is regarded as a warning to the Sultan to be prepared for the end that has come to many predeewaorz.

The Rcichranaeigcr of Berlin replies to Prince Bismarck’s organ, the Hambur­ ger Nnchricbten, on the latest phase of the dispute concerning the disclosure of the Russa-German treaty of 1884-90. say­ ing: "The question of the peiriod of time retjaired for secret diplomatic occurrence* to -oh the character of state secrets can only be decidsd by the statesmen in office, by virtue of their responsibility and spe­ cial knowledge of the jxjlltical sitnation. Any deviation from this principle would expose the country’s foreign policy to sur­ prises aud perturbation, uud thereby en­ danger the Interests of state. If Ger­ many gave an unconditional promise to keep secret the fact as well »s the pur­ port of the negotiations with Russia be­ fore 1890, the obligation is still binding upon alt cognizant of the matter, and this consideration also precludes the f»ossibility o' discussing the essential points of the negotiations.” Large Gains In Gold Reported.

SANTA FE'S TBOUBLE. RUNS FOUL OF KANSAS' ALIEN OWNERSHIP LAW; Receiver for Ranta Fc. Western railroad circles have a sensa­ tion in a second receivership for the Santa Fe. The road and equipment in Kansas were Thursday aftcro’ooit placed in the control of State Senator Chiu-lcs F. Johnson, of Oskaloosa, Kan., by Judge Luub Myers, of the First District, at Oskaloosa. The property consists of nearly 500 miles of. railroad, together with depots, shops »«d engine house*, office buildings, ri-nl estate and other property. The action i» brought under the Kansas law ofTfiDl. which provide* that no corporation more than 20 pur­ centum of whose capital stock is ownrd by aliens shall acquire real estate in the State of Kansas, nnd that if any real estate should be acquired in violation of this statute it shall be forfeited to the ‘Slate. The statute authorises any coun­ ty attorney to bring, action in the name of the State for such forfeiture. The appointment - of a receiver has been brought about, it is believed, by the mm who opposed the recent reorganisation plan of the Santn Fe. The anti-reorgnt;iration men do not show their hands in the present litigation, but they are charged with being responsible for it by the friend* of tlie now company nnd its offi­ cers nnd attorneys. This action has ere-' ■ted a great sensation in Topeka. MEANS TO CKOS3 TROCHA. Staceo Move* Ont on tt»e Plains for that I’nrpose.

Why, I live on the green aud mind I be. pig>!" And he wiped the tears of laughter from hta eyes ou the fileevd of-Ulfi ftwtlau jerkin. "I doubt me," said Robin, “if than ranst play with the quarrcr-«mff.‘’ “Ay, but I cap!" «tdd George, quickly. ••Show thy prowess, then!" raid RM»In. with a quick thnist at him with hi« white-oak staff.” “Bide here and mind the pigs fill I go to yon thicket and get rue a s»alL” Robin consented, and gazed after ’he brawny man as he walked .with long, alow strides to the ouk thlvkH ou the hither side of the brook. ’Hut.' be eurefully selected h tough green sap­ ling, almost two Incbea thick, and lhen wrenched It off near the ground with a twist of his powerful hand*. •This Isxlee me no good in the c-mlug tilt,” thought Robin. But though h) never withdraw for uny cause, rarely had he suffered defeat. George turned him about,, and. com­ ing up tn Robin, said: “Cattst lend that knife o thine? “i Is o'er too frayed for a goad staif.” he said, looking at the frlngo of splinters where he had snapped off the stem. He trimmed the staff earefully, then handed back to Robin his knife. But chancing to look around, he saw the pigs scampertaic off to a lismn: corner of the common. •Thou’st not minded the pigs- Now Goody Haskins will rate me well!'; cried George with heat, yet timidly. Withal. "Bnt Handy didn't give me warn­ ing r. pleaded Robin. “Good old Sandy! Faithful shont! He knows thee nol. He’ll talk only to inef’ and George's lll-nnturvieft him at this proof of the falthfnluess uf his favor­ ite. He set off at full siyed after the pigs, Robin at his heels. When they had got the swine back to their own feeding­ ground they lay themselves down on the sort thymy turf to rest. The chase had been a right merry one. and both wore short of wind: for the pigs had scampered and dodged sprightfully iu a way that made the men more weary than a flvc-mtle sprint. George dozed off on the Instant, and Robin jmiited loud. Iu ten minutes Robin prodded George with his staff, and said: •‘Sluggard! Art ready?" George yawned prodlpvusly. show­ ing strong teeth, white as a young dog's, rimming his jaws. Then he rose and ran bis fingers through his shock of retl hair, stretched mightily, and said briefly: * “I i>e. I.ay on!” "Well, then,” cried Robin, "stand forth now and defend thyself, i'll war-' rant thou wilt'be no longer sleepy when I shall have done with thee!” At once the sound or the clashing of staves filled the air. As Ixxth were so deft In handling the staff, all blows were skillfully parried. At the end of an hour Robin's nrn. negan to weary, but George’s brawny arm was unfail­ ing. In warding off a powerful blow Robin's arm swerved, and George’s staff enme down ou his crown with a shall) rap, the first hit made by either. For near two hours the clashing of staves kept up. when Robin's foot slip­ ped on the thyme, and down he rolled into the brook. A Curiously Named Garden. There Is a garden in Brixton kept by an old gentleman, which presents some curiosities In floral nomenclature. The owner has been seized with a desire to label his flowers after the manner of botanist*, but, knowing nothing ot sci­ entific terms, consulted an acquaint­ ance. The result is more amusing than appropriate, and proves the folly of wisdom where Ignorance is bliss. Sci­ entific names have been affixed to all the flowers, but strictly on the prlndple that ”a rose by any other name will smell as sweet.” One row bears the Inscription "Nux vomica;” another Is boldly labeled "Nisi Prius;” a third is affirmed to be “Ipeeacnanba,” and an­ other to be “Partlceps crimlnls.” The amateur gardener ia exceedingly proud of hl* collection, and no one has enlight­ ened him on the Incongruity of the de­ scriptions.—Ixmdon Telegraph.

Whether McKinley has over 2(53 votes In the electoral college depends upon the official returns from two States. In Ken­ tucky the result hinges upon the vote In two counties. in the extrema eastern part ot the State—n mountainous, ••moonshin­ ing" region, in which there r.rv neither railroads nor telegraph lines. But even with these counties heard from the con­ test is so close, that nothing short of the official canvass will be decisive. The plurality for cither ticket will l>e one of hundreds—probably leas than 500. The conflicting claims of the rival State chair­ men go for nothing. Wyoming, which was first thought safely to-be In the Bryan column, although by a narrow margin, is now counted among the Mc­ Kinley States. The plurality will be about 500. and the Legislature will be of the same party faith. The situation jn Wyoming, however, is stfbstautially the same as that ia Kentucky. The dis­ trict still to be heard from is 200 miles from a telegraph office and the missing returns tnr.y not be received for some time. Should Bryan carry both Kentucky and Wyoming McKinley will still bare a majority considerably more than enough to give him possession of the White House for four years to come. Early return* indicating the result nf the presidents 1 election were from the cities where McKinley and Hobart made their heaviest gains. Returns received from the country ‘Hstriets. where the fretsilver idea had gained greatest currency, considerably reduce early estimates of Republican pldhillties in several of the States- The returns, however, show that McKinley not only carried all the "doubt­ ful" States of the middle West from Ohio to Iowa, together with New York and the New England States, but that he in­ vaded the States of Maryland. Kentucky, West Virginia and, pjsaibly. Tennessee, either winning in all of these States or making such gains as must give him a signally large popular vote. He carried every State in the great region lying east of the Missouri and north of the Ohio and Potomac River*. There is not a break In-tween the rivers and the ocean.

Pnrtltlona in Silo* Where several silos are desired, or where two kinds of silage nre* to be stored so as to be fed at any time, one large silo with one or more partitions will be cheaper than separate silos. In tbe Illustration shown herewith will be seen how a partition may be put in a round allo. By running a second par­ tition at right angles to the first the allo may be divided into four pits, but it is always best to avoid partitions when possible to do so. If a partition is made It should be air-tight. but If the filling takes place on both sides at the same time, it need not be as strong. In the round silo tbe partition should be put In after the lining. To make the par­ tition, two thicknesses of Inch boards with paper between may bo used. These should he nailed to studding made out of Cao’s sawed in two diagonally, using two pieces at each end of tbe partition, placed so that the sawed face fills tbe .corner formed by the partition. With the Intermediate studs the boards should be nailed to tbe sawed or wide side, so as to avoid forming square ear­ ners. If a rectangular silo Is built, then two layers of matched fencing with tar paper between should be used for the lining.

An excellent cqment for mending al­ most anything may be made by mixing together litharge and glycerine to the consistency of thick cream or fresh put­ ty. The cement is useful In mending stone jars or any course earthenware, stopping leaks In seams of tin pans or wash boilers, cracks and holes in iron kettles, etc. It may also be used to fasten on lamp tops, or tighten loose nuts, to secure loose bolts whose nuts are lost, to tighten loose joints of wood or Iron, or in ninny other ways about the various kitchen utensils, the range, sink and In the pantry fittings. In all cast's the article mended should not be used until the cement has hardened, which will require from one day to a week, according to the quantity of ce­ ment used. This cement will resist the action of water, hot or cold, acids, and almost any degree of heat. TINY WASH DRESSES FOR above the socks.

It exalts the home and strengthens its sacred and tender ties. It brightens the shadows which have gathered over it. It dignltlea proapprity. it prompts men to ranch out helpful hands to their les* fortunate neighbors. It reminds us afresh from whence every good gift mmes.

Tickle tooth Pudding. •Tlckletooth pudding” was the name of the Thanksgiving pudding of old colonial days. Il wns only n memory of the great progenitor of that name which the pil­ grims had left nt home iu old England. There were no ten pounds of solid fruit, no twenty luscious eggs, rich beef suet, nor was it dampon<*d with choice brandy and home-lyewed nle. But It was prob­ ably more easily digested. Every day is a day of thanksgiving for Christiana. They do not wait until the crops have been gathered before returning thanks, for they are thankful for every day’s blessing. Still it is a commendable custom for a nation to officially recognize man’s dependence, and to ask its people to unite in a common thanksgiving. �GIVEN ALL WE CLAIMED VENEZUELA DISPUTE.

A year ago President Cleveland was prepar­ ing the famous message to Congress which gave otiiciul confirmation of this news and which brought on the menace of wnr between the two nation*. Panic seized Wall street and stocks fell rapidly. Lord Salisbury’s reply to Secretary Ol­ ney’* masterly note was a somewhat curt and supercilious refusal to admit that the United State* had any standing in the premises. He distinctly declined to give any countenance whatever to tbe Monroe doctrine, and api»-aretl rather amused that such an nbstird pretension should be set up by the United State*. This wa* in line with the British policy concerning the Venezuelan matter. For forty year* tlie South American republic had sought to secure arbitration or some other settle­ ment. but had been treated with lofty disdain. The United States Government had repeatedly ifequcstcd the British Gov­ ernment to consent to arbitration, but had always met the same curt refusal. Now Ix»rd Salisbury yields everything for which the American Government ha* contended. The pertinency of tbe Mon­ roe doctrine is recognized and the result .of this will l»c an immense enhancement of the prestige of the republic throughout Central nnd South America.

Under cover of the darkness nnd In the midst of a fierce storm, six men met their death off Muskegon. Mich., harbor Saturday night from the three-mast schooner Waukesha. <The story of the only survivor lays the blame upon the captain whose name Is not definitely known. Tills survivor is Frank Dulach. the other members of the crew, which cohniated of the captain, mate, cook and four sailors, n total of *evcu. After be­ ing rescued Dulach wn» so weak that It was night before au intelligent story could be obtained from him. It was taken in the form of an affidavit before a magis­ trate at tbe station in order to show the full circumstance* Dulach says the boat loaded with salt at Ludington for South Chicago, and went out Friday about 4 p. m. Almost Immediately she began to feel the heavy sea. and the miuds of the sailors were not In the least reassured by the fact that the captain commenced drinking liberally. When off Little Point Sable the Wau­ kesha was leaking so badly that, all bands had to go to the pumps. After it was shown that pumping would be.nec­ essary nil the time, the sailors began to beg the captain to beach the boat, but he refusetl and kept on south. When they saw the piers at Muskegon about-3 o’clock Saturday afternoon they wen* In doubt at to where they were. The captain hoisted a signal fur a tug. but. no tug coming, he went to anchor, angrily declining to make an attempt to enter the harbor, saying he did not know where bo wns nnd how much water these was. Be ■aid ho would stay there duringjbe night, fix up as best be couhl, and in the morn­ ing slip nway. The men told him the boat, which was old and rotten, could not stand the strain and would go to pieces; that bis only safety was to beach her. Dulach says the captain locked up tbe tnrchbs. so they could not signal, and when he. Dulach. tried to flash a lanteru the captain struck it down. About 9 o’clock the boat began to yield under the pounding of the constantly increasing sea, and the captain redoubled his drinking. In desperation Dulhch and bis "watch partner’’ tried-tu sUp the vessel’s cables aud send her ashore. They succeeded in loosing the big anchor, when tbe captain, hearing the noise, got life-preservers for himself, the mute and a sailor by the name of Fred, who, according to Dniach's story, were all drunk on liquor he had furnished them. The other four se­ cured preservers from the forecastle, and the entire crew went into the foremast rigging. Pulled down l>y tbe little anchor, which wns dragging, the boat gave a great lurch to port, and under the test, the three musts snapped one by nno. The colored cook wns killed .by the fall of a yard and fell into the sea. Tbe others climbed onto a rude raft, which Dulach and bis part­ ner constructed. A Swede, who was by Dulach. kept up the fight ns long as he could, and then dropped off- The mate waa washed nwny.

The letter II was in Hebrew named Cheth. a hedge, or by some authorities translated a stile. It is supposed that the form of the letter was on imitation of the steps through which entrance was gained Into an inclosed field.' Peter the Great, among other changes made in the customs and manner of his people, also instituted a reform in'the alphabet. Finding the number of let­ ters greater than he considered neces­ sary, he fixed tbe alphabet at 36. The Hebrews called R Resh, the forehead, and the Phoenician form of the letter closely resembles iu outline the upper part of the head, the hair, eyebrows, eyes, beginning of tbe nose and tips of the cars being-plainly vis­ ible.

Mr. Curry hod berti sick for r e v e r a I weeks. The story of his injuries was well guarded, both by Mr. Cnrry and members iff the lodge.

It is ns follows: lu the course of initiation Mr. Curry, being properiy rein'd in a somewhat light costume and bliudfoldtd. was placed up­ on a chair haring a metallic bottom. Under this chair an ordinary kerosene lamp was placed^ It was expected that when sufficient heat had developed he would jump from the chair iu alarm nnd furnish merriment to tbe assembled Elks.

No.matter how good and well-cooked and "appetizing" the food may be, it cannot give any nourishment unless the stomach is able to digest it. Nature indicates the state of the constitution‘by the loss of appetite. Thia is an unfailing .indicator. It shows that something is fundamentally wrong with the nutritive functions. The only true natural relief must be as searching and fundamental as the trouble it sima to overcome. It is the thorough deep searching character of Dr. Pierce's .Golden Medical Discovery, which caus< ". the mar­ velous efficacy in all bilious aud digestive difficulties. It creates that healthful vitality of the entire digestive and nutritive organ­ ism which'produces both the natural desire for food and the organic capacity to assimi­ late and transform it into nourishing, reviv­ ifying blood and healthy tissue. It gives digestion and sound sleep, and solid muscular strength and .-energy. KJjmle, Yours to plea»e, 5& ''' At B. SCHULZE’S B. Shulze // n Merchant Tailor and Clothier.

Plant era are ’urged to set strong. healthy trees, Id well prepared soil, plowed deep and sub-soiled, first pruning the roots to one or two Inches in length, which will cause them to strike down deep into tbe soil. Start the bead flfteeiyto eighteen inches from the ground and lean the tree to the southwest. Then the top will shade tbe trunk; prevent sunscald and attacks of borers. Give frequent nnd shallow .cultivation to keep In the moisture which the deeply subcolled land has caught during win­ ter and spring. Grow only hoed crops. If any.

Tho Fine Times he bed This Fall Major McKinley’s Homo. The following from the Detroit Journal wifi be of particular Interest to renders of The News, because most of them know Mr. Potter, who spent his boyhood days in Nastfyillc. Claud E. Potter, the Western Union telegraph operator assigned to duty In Maj. McKinley’s home during the cam­ paign, by the manager of tbe Detroit office, has returned home, and relates some Interesting Incidents in connec­ tion with the usual scenes that oc­ curred in and around the major’s house during that most remarkable cam­ paign. Mr. Potter became a member of the McKinley household Lhe week previous to the St. Louis convention, and staved there continuously until last Saturday. The nature of his duties brought!him Into frequent con­ tact with candidate for president, and none of the temporary guests liecame more intimately acquainted with him than did the.genial young operator. “Maj. McKinley is the most eventempered and best poised man I ever met,” said Mr. Potter yesterday. “During all the heat and excitement Of tbe campaign I never saw him ruf­ fled or out of sorts. At times when the arcioKc u>ou nvu*M have >*u.v lost *wov his ...o bead average man'would completely, major was as calm and composed as it can be possible for*a man to be under the circumstances. He is not a man of moods or whims, but is I. tbe the same every day, day,, plain soci aocl-­ able unassuming and dignified and im­ pressive. He has a hearty -hand grasp, and a way of looking directly at a per­ son through his keen, handsome eyes, that has a tendency to make small men S'). the fact that vou are In the oresence of a man of superior attainments and a hnrn lond.-r ofmen “Mrs. McKinley is an invalid, and the major Is most devoted to her. At no time during the campaign .ltd bls devotion relax tor an Instant. No matter how important the conference In which he was engaged: no matter how distinguished hl, caller, It word was brought that Mrs. McKinley wl»hed to see him, he would excuse himself and hurry to her room. He was equally sollcltlous of the welfare of his aged mother, and :i day rarely passed that he did nol walk or drive ti tier home In another part of the city. The McKinleys live well but plainly, The major Is a hearty eater, but pre fers substantial luxuarys. " “One of the prettiest sights I ever saw was witnessed the day the delega­ tion from Oil City, Pa. visited Canton. The delegation included 45 girls, rep­ resenting each state in tbe union, and each bearing a big basket of “flowers which they presented to Mrs. McKin­ ley. These were placed on the speak­ er’s platform In front of the house and completely covering It. I can not Im­ agine a more beautiful sight than that mountain of flowers. • “I was with Maj. McKinley when Mayor Pingree and Col. Atkinson called. As the mayor entered the room Maj. McKinley stepped forward und greeted him heartily, saying, how are you. governor? Ab he shook hands with Michigan’s goternor-elect, he looked at him with that searching gaze of which I have spoken, and the mavor flushed to the roots of his hair and the crown of his bald head. The president-elect then invited bisguests into the dining room, where they con­ versed for nearly two hours. The Influx ut visitors made a boom town of Canton. - Not less than$2,000 000 was left behind by visiting dele­ gations, who purchased wearing ap­ parel and everything they could car­ ry away as souvenirs of their pilgri­ mage. _ _ .

Whether this was owing to the fact that tbe press had aired Mr. Chaplin’s connections with some prior western deals or not Is a question, but certainly It did not have a tendency to inspire confidence in the public in the Integrity of the promoters. Mr. Chaplin claimed that he was not at all to blame because the people who were making tbe kick lost their money In his former western schemes, and says that on account of his own faith in what ha told them being true, he was a heavier loser than any of them, and that It cost him between 88,000 and 810,000. We quote below a letter written by him while he was here and published In the Grand Rapids Press of last Friday. The Very Best VT ASHVILLE LODGE No. 955, F. A A. M. Says He’ll Par Bach.

Pennyroyal THE MAM FROM MA1MM. pills Davis Dyer, G. P. & T. A. Villa**. The presentation by the Nashville Dramatic Club of the flve-act drama, “The Man From Maine,” at the opera house last Friday night deserves more than a passing notice. It was a smoother and more finished perfor­ mance than is generally given by the traveling troops who visit towns the size of Nashville, and there was not a “stick" in the cast. The play is an excellent one, full of interest from start to finish, with just enough com­ edy In it to make it “go,” and It did go, as the large audience testified by their liberal applause. A feature of the evenidr’s entertainment was the singlugnf Mrs. J. L. Wolcott and Miss Wet* Wilkinson, who appeared be­ tween acts in several beautiful solos and duets. The play was repeated Saturday evening to a fairly good house. ' It Is to be hoped that the club will decide to put on another play in the near, future, and If they do they ought to raise their prices enough to enable them to at least more than pay exKnses. No one would object to pay­ g a reasonable price lo see as good a performance as was given by the club last Friday and Saturday evenings.

The aggregate number oL copies printed was G,3dl,7OG. The Secre­ tary again takes occasion to express his opjwsition to the gratuitous distribution of seeds and to express the hope thnt the practice will be discontinued. The work of the experiment stations is reviewed at some length. He opposes, for the presen’, the establishment of an agricultural ex­ periment station iu Alaska, but recom­ mends an appropriation of $5,<XM) for a preliminary investigation of the agricul­ tural resources of the territorj-. The report concludes with a compre­ hensive review of the condition of American farmers. Seventy-two per cent, of the farms in the United States- occupied by their owners nre absolutely free from mortgages or other incumbrances. The Secretary refutes the Idea prevailing that the farms of the West and South nre m >re heavily burdened than those of the East and Northeast. States along the North Atlantic, he says, are quite heavily IncUmbured with farm mortgages, and New Jersey carries a debt of this kind greater in proportion to Its farm valuations than any State In the Union. The frequent claim thnt the farmers are almost univer­ sally in debt, despondent nq<l suffering, he declares to be without any foundation, a belittlenient'of agriculture and ua indig­ nity to every intelligent and practical farmer. * Referring to the stress of cofppdtition which the American farmer is compelled to endure.,Mr. Morton calls attention to the nearly 2.G0O.000 of farms, of righty and paid for the lands upon which they had lived and labored. It was impossible for farmers in the old States to profitably sell their products in competition with those of the newer States, grown upon lands which cost their owners nothing. Referring to the impression that great­ er rates of interest arc charged for mon­ ey loaned upon farms than for thnt loaned upon other kin3s~i)f vt-nl estate. Secretary Morton states that the rate of Interest charged on mortgages upon residential projn-rty other than farms averages eigh­ ty-four hundredths uf 1 per cent, less than the rate of interest charged, upon farm loans. •­ During the fiscal year just ended the exported products of American farms ag­ gregated $370,000,000, an increase of $17,000,000 over the preceding year. In spite of this there was a falling off in the percentage of agricultural products exported to the total exports, but this was due to the unprecedented.sale abroad MORTON MAKES HIS REPORT. .of American manufactured goods. The largest market for our products is ad­ mitted to be tl?.e home market, but the export trade is the regulator, the balance Secretary Mortou, in his fourth annual for domestic trade.

As to the latter, it is by no means improbable thnt the recommendations, of last year will be renewed. As to revenue legislation, the case is iu) me what different. Unless some mon who uro usually well informed and are generally supposed • to enjoy the confi­ dence of some of the higher officials of the administration, if not of President Cleve­ land himself, are at fault. Congress is to Ih* asked to take early steps to provide more re ven no. That this recommendation will coincide with the lines of the Dingley .emergency revenue bill, which passed the House of Representatives last winter and wa4 "held up” in the Senate, is not to be ex­ pected. The provisions in that measure affecting wool nnd woolen goods nlon» would probably have provoked a veto if the bill had passed the Senate at the las’, session, and may do rtTif it should pan at the coming session.

At $1 a barrel, the internal tax on fermented liquors amounts in round figures to $32,(XM),000 a year. On thp- same output and con­ sumption the tax at $2 n barrel would amount, of conrae. to $G4.000,(M)G a year, and add $3J1,000,(X)0 to the total annual revenues. It is contended, however, by the oppo­ nents of the proposition to double the tax. that it would would neither double nor greatly increase the revenue, especially in the first year after it should become operative.

That amount of grain te some­ thing enormous. • 11 would till a train of 3,(iO2Jfl»S cars of the average also of <».">»> bushels capacity, nnd such n train, 2X288 miles long, would nearly encircle the globe; it would make car­ goes for 24.<XM> lake sjeamers of the average capacity of ino.otet bushels, but, of course, from this amount should be deducted tin; amount used- for home -consumption, and from the estimate of lake cargoes a liberal allowance qjlould be made for the portion which goes by way .of all rail routes to the coast. Chicago handles so much grain when now double large crops are in move­ ment. that for many weeks In-the fall of the year there ten car famine on all Ils diverging railroads, while storage room is nt n premium, and scarce. In a single month Chicago can take care of 22JDOO.(NJU bushels of grain of lake shipments, and teio.ouo bushels a day of rail receipts.

It Is at Buffalo where the blockade usually occurs. There cargoes have to be shifted for seaboard events. Boats are Sometimes detained, awaiting a chance to unload, anywhere from a week to ten days. Craft moored along­ side each other get In a jam every hour. In some cases steamers with cargoes of grain billed clear through to the seaboard, with ocean room en­ gaged to take tbe grain to Europe, are towed directly to the elevators on ar­ rival and unloaded, but in any case where there Is a chance of being de­ tained in the elevator any time at all. •the boat Is compelled to hold Its load. In a busy season, storage room at these great grain points is completely filled, nnd elevators arc bandy ahle to handle cargoes direct from boat to cars.

The detailed work of preparing the call and fixing the basin of rrpw»ctitatlon was left to 11 rommittee composed of one delegato from each city represented iu the con­ ference. President Justus C. Adams, of the Ind,tanajxilix Board of Trade, called the meeting to order, and in a well-timed address referred to the importance of the subject which it hail been called to con­ sider. E. O. Stannard, of St. Ixtuis, ex-Gov­ ernor of Miswjuri, .presided after Mr. Adatitx had finixhod hi* sjx’ecb. Ex-Gov. Stannard said that he felt assured that if the cummvreittl bodie* of the country offered to Congress a financial system thnt would not be subject to change it would be accepted. The principal address before the conference was by John R. Wilson, of Indianapolis. He said there was a practical demand for refortfi. Ex­ pedient* adopted by Congress in the stress of war as temporary measures bad liecome an enduring system. The legisla­ tion of Congress on finance had been from hand to ntputh since 1861. E. V. Smalley, who represents the St. Paul Board.of Tradp. said the people of the Northwest, irrespective of party, were heartily in favor of the proposed national convention. The resolutions be intro­ duced provide for n national convention of representatives of al! commercial bod­ ies in cities,of more that. 25,000 imputa­ tion. “for the consideration of the cur­ rency system of the country, and to rec­ ommend to Congress such measures fer the remedy of such defects as. will com­ mand the indorsement of the business public.” The conference agreed to that part of Mr. Smalley'* resolution providing for a convention, but there was much discus­ sion as to bow large the convention (should be, and it wax decided to leave that question to n conunittee comixtsed'sof one, rejirewntutive from each city present. In-the call, ms finally agreed upon, it is proposed that the convention xhall be composed of 1,251 delegate*. Thy basis of representation is calculated upon the United States census of 1890, and gives, to cities of 8,000 to lt»,O(M), one delegate; 10.000 and less than 13,000, two dele­ gates; 15.000 and less than 25,000. three delegates; 23,060 and less than 00,000.four delegates; 00,600 and lex* than 100,(XX), five delegates; 100,000 and less than 200.six delegates: 200,000 and les* than 4OO.U00, seven delegates; 400,000 or overt eight delegates.

Outrntres in Turkey. At the outset of a referenda to tbe more important matters affecting our re­ lations with foreign powers it would afford me satisfaction if I could assure tbs Congress that the disturbed condition in Asiatic Turkey bad during tbe last year assumed a^Jess hideous aspect, aud that either aa n consequence of the awak­ ening of the Turkish Government to the demand of humane civilization, or as the result of decisive action on the part of the great nations having the right by treaty to interfere for the protection of those exposed to the rage of mad bigotry and cruel fanaticism, the shocking fea­ tures of the situation bad been mitigated. Instead, however, of welcoming a soft­ ened disposition or protective interven­ tion, we have been afflicted by continued and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of men. women arid children, made martyrs to their profession of jChristian faith. While none of our citizens in Turkey have thus far been killed or wounded, though often in- the midst of dreadful scenes of danger, their safety in the future is by no means as­ sured. Our government nt home and our minister at Constantinople have left noth­ ing undone to protect our missionaries in Ottoman territory, who constitute nearly all the individuals residing there who hare a right to claim our protection on th^score of American citizenship. Our efforts in this.direction will not be re­ laxed, but the deep feeling and sympathy that have been aroused among our people ought not to so far blind their reason and judgment as to lead them to demand im­ possible things. The Cuban’ Rebellion. The insurrection in Cuba still vontinaes with all its perplexities. It is diffi­ cult to perceive that any progress has thus far been made towards the pacifica­ tion of the island or that tbe situation of affairs as depicted iu my last annual mes­ sage has in the least improved. If Spain •till holds Havana and the seaports and all tbe considerable towns, the insurgents still roam at will over at least twojthirds of the Inland country. If the determina­ tion of Spain to put down the insurrec­ tion seems but to strengthen with the lapse of time, and is evinced by ber un­ hesitating devotion of largely increased military and naval forces to the task, thsrs is much reason to believe that the Insurgents have gained in point of num­ bers and character ai< resources, and are none the less Inflexible in their re­ solve not to succumb without practically securing the great objects for which they took up arms. If Spain has uot yet re­ established her authority, neither have the insurgents yet made good their title to be regarded as an independent state. The spectacle of the utter ruin of an ad­ joining country, by nature ooe of the most fertile and charmlag on the globe, would engage the serious atlentlbl of th? gov­ ernment and the people ot the United. States in any circumstances, tin point of fact, they have a concern which is by no means of a wholly sentimental or philanthropic character. It lies so near to us as to be hardly separated from our territory. Our actual pecuniary interest In it is second only to tnat sf the people and Government of Spain. •* These inevitabW entangkments of the United States with the rebelton in Cuba, tlie large American property interests af­ fected am! considerations of philanthropy and humanity in general have led to a vehement demand in various quarters for some' sort of positive intervention on the part of the United Btetw. It was at first proposed that belligerent rights should 1m> accorded to tta^taurgenta—a proposition no longer urR^Because un­ timely and in practical operation clearly perilous nnd injurious to air own inter­ ests. If has since been and is now eometimes contended that the ittlepondence of rhe insurgents should be reo-iguized. But imperfect and restricted td the Spanish Gov^nimrnt of the island nay be, no otbdr exists there— unless will of the military officer in temiwrary command of a particular district can be dignified as a species of government. It i* now also suggested that the United Statp* should buy the island—a suggestion possibly worthy of consideration if there were any evidence of a desire or williagneM oc tbe part of Spain to entertain such a prop.«al. It i" urged, finally, that, al) other methods falling, the existiig Interndne strife in Cuba should be laminated by our intervention, even st tie cost of a war between the United Blates and Spain—a war which its advocates con­ fidently prophesy could be neither large in its proportions nor doubcMin its issue. The correctness of this forecast need lie neither affirmed nor denied. Tbe Unit­ ed Stnt(pt ha* nevertheless a diameter to mafntain as a nation, whicb plainly dic­ tates that right ami not might should be the rule of it* conduct ' It is in the assumed temfwr and dispo­ sition of the Spanish Government to rem­ edy its grievances, fortified by indica­ tions of influential poblic<^Moa in Spain that this Government has taped to dis­ cover the most promising (fad effective means of ending the present strife with honor and advantage to &pain and with the achievement of all the reasona­ ble objects of the insurrectica. It was in­ timated by this Government to the Gov­ ernment of Spain some moathi ago that if a satisfactory measure of home rule were tendered the Cuban laoargents and would be accepted by them upon a guar­ anty of its execution, the Called States would endeavor to find a way not ob­ jectionable to Spain of furnishing such guaranty. While no definite response to this intimation has yet been received from the Spanish'GovvrmueDt, It is believed to be not altogether unwelcome, while, as already suggested, no reason is per­ ceived why it should not be approved by the insurgents. Whatever circum­ stances may arise, our policy and our in­ terest would constrain us to object to the acquisition of the island bt an Interfer­ ence with its control by any other power. It should lie added that it ®nnof be reaonably. assumed that the hitherto expect­ ant attitude of the United Sated will be indefinitely maintained. When the InaHUty of Spain to deal sureowfully with the insurgents has become •unifesl and it is demonstrated thatefe*sovereignty is extinct iu Cuba for all parposcs of its rightful existence, and wh» « hopeless struggle for its re . stabUsifaiwt has de­ generated into a strife whh4»e«ns noth­ ing more than the useless sacrifice of human life and tbe utter destruction of the very subject matter of the conflict, a situation will be presented in which our obligations to the sovereignty of Spain will be superceded by higher obligations, which we can hardly hesitate to recog­ nize and discharge. Treasury Information. Tbe Secretary of the Treasury reports that during tlie fiscal year ssded June 30, 1806, the receipts of the Government from oh sources amounted to $409,475,­ 408.78. During th# sama gariod its ex­ -r. penditures were $434,678,654.48. the ex­ cess of expenditures over receipts thus amounting to $25,203,245.70. The ordi­ nary expenses during the year were $4,­ 015,852.21 leas than during the preceding fiscal year. Of the receipts mentioned there was derived from customs the sum of $190,021,751.07, and from internal rev­ enue $146,830,615.66. The receipts from customs show an increase of $7,863,134.22 over those from the same source for the fiscal year ending Jnue 30, 1895. and the receipts from internal revenue an Increase of $3,584,537.91. The value of our imported dutiable mer­ chandise during the lest fiscal year was $360,757,470, and tbe value of free goods imported $409,967,470, being an increase of $6,523,675in the value of dutiable goods and $41,231,034 iu the value of free goods over the preceding year.

The coat of collecting our internal revenue was 2,78 per cent., as against 2.81 per cent, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. The total produc­ tion of distilled spirits, exclusive of fruit brandies, was 86,588.703 taxable gallons, being nn increase of 6.639.108 gallons over the preceding year. There was also an increase of 1,443,676 gallons of spirits produced from fruit m compared with die preceding year. The number of barrels of beer produced was 35,859,250, as against 33,589,784 produced In the preced­ ing fiscal year, being an increase of 2,260,­ 466 barrels. ■ The total amount of gold exported dur­ ing the last fiscal *yeor was $112,400,947 and of silver $00,541,670, being an In­ crease of $45,941,466 of gold spd $13.­ 246,384 of silver over the exportations of the preceding fiscal year. Tbe imports of gold were $33,523^65 and of silver $28,­ 777.180, being $2,839,095 less of gold and $8,566,007 more of silver than during the preceding year.

On the 1st day of November 1896, the total stock of money of all kinds Ln tbe country was $2,285,410,590 and the amount in circula­ tion, not including that In the treasury ho)din km. was $1,627,055,641, being $22.63 per capita upon an estimated population of 71,992,000. Tie production of the precious metals In the United States dur­ ing the calendar year 1895 is estimated to have been 2,254,760 fins ounces of gold, of tbe value of $46,610,000, and 55,727.000 ounce* of silver, of tbe commercial value of $36.443.0UU and the coinage mine of $72,051,090.

The coin­ age of three metals In the various coun­ tries of the world during the num cal­ endar year amounted to $232,701,438 in gold and $121,095,219 in silver. Tbe total coinage at the mints of the United States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, amounted to $71,188,468.52, of which $58,878,490 was In gold coins and $12,309,978.52 In standard silver dollar, subsidiary coma and minor coins. National Ranko. Tbe number of national banka organ­ ized from the time the law authorising their creation was passed, up to Oct 81, was 5,051, and of this number 3,679 were at the date last mentioned in active oper­ ation, having authorized capital stock of $650,014,895, held by 288,902 sbs re hold­ er*. and circulating notea amounting to $21,412,620.

Oct. 6. 1896, when the condition of national banks waa last reported, the total re­ source* of the 3,679 active Institutions wm $8,263,685,813.83, which included $1.­ 893,258.83931 Ln loans and discounts and $362,165,733.85 in money of all kinds on hand. Of tbelr liabilities $1JW7J»1.058.03 was due to individual depositors and $209,944,019 consisted of outstandinf tarculrtfag notoa, Immigration. The number of Immigrants arriving In the United States during the fiscal*year was 343,267, of whom 340,468 were per­ mitted to land and 2.799 were, debarred on various grounds prescribed by law and returned to tbe countries whence they came at tbe expense of the steamship companies by which they were brought inrTbe Increase In immigration over tbs preceding year amounted to 84.73L It is reported that with some exceptions the immigrants of the last year were of a hardy laboring class, accustomed and able to earn n support for themselves, and it Is estimated that the riioney brought with them amounted to'at least $5,000,000, though it was probably much In excess of that sum. since only tboso having less than $30 are required to dis­ close the exact amount, nnd it is known that many brought considerable sums of money to buy laud and build homes. The War Departmeat. The report of the Secretary of War exhi bit* satisfactory conditions in the sev­ eral brandies of the public service In­ trusted to bis charge. The limit of out military force as fixed by taw Is con­ stantly and readily maintained. Ths preecut discipline aud morale of our army arc excrOent, and marked progress and efficiency are apparent throughout Its en­ tire organization. With the exception of delicate duties in tbe suppression of slight Indian disturbances along our southwest­ ern boundary, in which the Mexican troops co-operate*!, and the compulsory but peaceful return, with the consaut of Greet Britain, of a band of Cree Indians from Montana to British ix*we««ions, no active operations have been required of the army during the year paaL Fea Coast Defense. During the last year rapid progress ha* been made toward the completion of the scheme adopted for tbe erection and arma­ ment of fortifications along our seacoast, while equal progress ba* been made iu providing Che material for submarine de­ fense in connection with three works. This Improved situation Is largely doe to tihe recent generous response of Congress to the rceommendationa of the war de­ partment. Thus* we shall soon have oamplete about one-fifth of the compreheazaivs system, the first step in which was noted in my message to the Congress of Dec. 4, 1893. When it is understood that^a maK>D-y emplacement not only furnishes a platform for the heavy modern high-power gun, but also In every particular serves the purpose and takes the place of ths fort of former days, tbe importance ©f ths work accomplished is better compre­ hended. Pees of Federal Officer*. It is most gratifying to note the satis­ factory results that have followed ths inauguration of thir new system provided for by the act of May 28, 1896, under which certain Federal officials are com­ pensated by salaries instead of fees. Ths new plan was put in operation on July 1, 1896, and already the great economy It enforces, its prevention of abuses, and its tendency to a better enforcement of the laws are strikingly apparent Detailed evidence of the usefulness of this longdelayed but now happily accomplished reform will be found clearly set forth la the Attorney General's report _ The Poatal Service. Onr Postoffice Department Is tn good condition, and the exhibit mads of Its operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, if allowance is made for imperfections In the laws applicable to It, Is very satisfactory. The total receipts during the year were $82,499,208.40. Ths total expenditures were $90,626,296.84, exclusive of $1,559,898.27, which wm earned by the Pacific Railroad for trans­ portation and credited on their debt to the Government There wm an Increaso of receipts over the previous year of $5,­ 518,080.21, or 7.1 per cent, and an In­ crease of expenditures of $3,830,124.02, or 4.42 per cent Tbe deficit was $1,­ 679,956.19 less than that of the preceding year. ' He avenge revenue from each pound of first-class matter was 93 cents. .From each pound of oeeond-class, 8V4 mills. (Of tbe secaMl-clsra, 52,348,297 was counted free matter.) Frfa each pound of third-ciara, 18.1 cents. From each pound of forth-class, 15.4 cents. Tbe growth of weight of second-class matter has been from 299,000,000 pounds tn 1894 to 312.000,000 in 18&5, «xl to almost 849.­ 000,000 in 1896, and it to qtate-eM4toot tfata increwring drawback is fir outatrtjg. �ptag eny poeaible growth of postal revemie. . The Navy. The work of tbe Navy Department and ita present condition are fully exhibited in the report of the Secretary. The con­ struction of Teasels for our new nary haa been energetically prosecuted by the pres­ ent administration upon the general lines prevtoualy adopted, tbe department hav­ ing seen no necessity for radical changes in prior methods under whicb the work waa fonnd to be progressing in a manner highly satisfactory. Lt has been decided, however, to provide in every shipbuilding contract that the builder should pay all trial- expenses, and It has also been de­ termined to pay np speed premiums in future contracts. The premium* recently earned and some yet to be decided are features of the.contracta made before thia conclusion waa reached. On Marth 4, 1893, there were In com­ mission but two armored vessels—the double-turreted Miantonomah and Monterey. Since that date of vessels theretofore authorised there have been placed in their first commission three first-claas and two second-class battle-shins. two armored curiaers, one harbor-defense ram and five double-turreted monitors, including tbe Maine and Puritan, just completed. Eight new unarmored cruisers and two new gunboata have also been commis­ sioned. The Iowa, another battle-ship, will be completed about March 1, and at least four more gunboats will be ready for use in the early spring. About National Prisons. Th* Attorney General presents a de­ tailed and Interesting statement of the Important work done under hia supervis­ ion during the last fiscal year. Tbe own­ ership and management by the Govern­ ment of penitentiaries for the confine­ ment of those convicted in United States courts of violation* of federal laws, which for many years has been a subject of executive recommendation, has at last, to a slight extent, been realised by the utilisation of the abandoned military pris­ on at Fort Leavenworth aa a United States penitentiary. Thia is certainly a movement in tbe right direction; but it ought to be at once supplemented by the rebuilding or extensive enlargement of this improvised prison and the con­ struction of at least one more, to be< lo­ cated in the Southern States. I am thor­ oughly convinced that economy, humanity and a proper sense of responsibility and duty toward .thos* whom we punish for violations of Federal law dictate that the Federal Government should have the entir* control and management of the penitentiaries where convicted violators are confined. It appears that since the transfer of Fort Leavenworth military prison to Its new .uses the work previously done by prisoners confined there and for which ex­ pensive machinery has been provided has been discontinued. This work consisted of th* manufacture of articles for army ns* now done elsewhere. On all grounds it is exceedingly desirable that the con­ vict* confined in this penitentiary be al­ lowed to resume work of this description. Interior Affairs. Tbs report of the Secretary of the Interior presents a comprehensive and interesting ex­ hibit of th* numerous and Important affairs committed to hia supervision. I agree with th* Secretary that tbe remainder of our pub­ lic lands should be more carefully dealt with and their alienation guarded by better econ­ omy and greater prudence. Th* Indiana. The total Indian population of the United States Is 177.235. according to a census made in IMS, exeiusiv* of those within tbe Slate of N*w York and those comprising the live civilised tribes. Of thia number Ahere are aproxlmsteiy 88.000 children of school age. During tbe year 23.3U3 of these were en­ rolled la schools Tbe progress which has attended recent efforts to extend Indian school facilities, aud tbe anticipation of con­ tinued liberal appropriationa to that end. esnnot tall to afford the utmost satisfac­ tion ts those who believe that tbe educa­ tion of Indian children Is a prim* factor in th* accomplishment of Indian civilisation. It may be said In general terms that In every particular tbe Improvement of tbe Indiana under 'Government car* has bean most marked and encouraging. eral recent laws Is now negotiating with these Indians for th* relinquishment nnd th* division of tbelr common lands In a*v- dlans from the conaciueuees of tbelr own mistakes nnd Improvidence, and to secure t<?_ th* real Indian 'bls rights aa against In­ truders and professed friends who profit 5 hia retrogression. A« a sincere friend th* Indian I am exceedingly anxious that these reforms should be accomplished with or drastic legislation. The diminution of our enormous pension roll and tbe decrease of pension expendi­ ture. which have been so often confidently foretold, still fall In material realisation. The number of pensioners on tbe rolls at ber ever r>ported. Tbe amount paid ex­ clusively for pensions during th* year waa fi 138.214,701 .IH, a alight decrease from that of the preceding year, while the total expenditure* on account of pensions. In­ cluding tbe cost of maintaining the de­ partment and expenses attending tbe pen­ sion diatributiomamounted to fl42.208A60.60. or within a very small fraction of one-third of tbe entire expense of supporting tbe Government during tbe asm* year. Tbe number- of new pension certificates Is­ sued was'90.840. Of there 40.374 represent original allowance* of claims and 16,878 In­ creases of existing pensions. The number of persona receiving pensions from tbe United Htfi|es. but residing In foreign coun­ tries. at the close of the laat«fiscal year, was 8.781. and tbe amount paid to them during the year waa f382.733.38. The sum appro­ priated for tbe payment of pensions for the current fiscal year ending June 30. 1897. Is fil40.000.000. and for tbe succeeding year It Is estimated that the same amount will be Th* Commissioner of Pensions reporta menta wer* found against violators of tbe pension law*. Upon these Indictments 167 convictions resulted. In my opinion, based upon such statements aa these and much other Information and observation, tbe abus­ es which have been allowed to creep Into onr pension system have done Incalculable harm In demoralising our people and under­ mining good cltlxcnshlp. I have endeavored within my sphere of official duty to protect our pension roll and make It what it ahculd be. a roll of honor, containing the names of those disabled In their country’s service' and worthy of’jhelr country’s affectionate remembrance. When 1 have seen those who pose as tbe soldiers’ friends, active and alert In urging greater laxity and more reck­ less pension expenditure, while nursing self­ ish schemes, I nave depredated the approach of a situation where necessary retrench­ ment and enforced economy may lead to an attack upon .pension abuse*, so determlned'aa to overlook the discrimination doe to those who, worthy of a nation’s care, ought to live and die under lb* protection of a nation's gratitude. The Secretary calls attention to th* public Interests Involved In ah adjustment of tbs obligations of the Pacific railroads to the Government. I deem it to be an Important duty to especially present thia subject to tbe consideration of Congress. On Jan. 1. 1897. with tbe amount already matured, more than I13.000.UUO of the principal of th* subsidy bonds Issued by the United States tn aid of tbe construction of tb*. Union Pa­ cific Railway, including Its Kansas line, aud more than fiU.0UU.0UU of like bonds. I ms u rd In aid of the Central Pacific Railroad.

The progress made in civtl-servie* reform furnishes a muse for the utmost congratu­ lation That are now In the competitive classified w-rtice upward of elghty-four thou­ sand places. | A. most radical and sweep­ ing *xtrn»taa was mads by exe'fttive order dated tbe OJb day of May. 1KMJ. and If tbe fourth dm postmnsterahlpa be not in­ cluded In the statement II may be aald that practically fil position* contemplated by tbs civil-service law are now classified.

Whatever may be its shortcomings as a complete measure of tar­ iff reform, it must be conceded that It has The Currency Ryvteaau 1 am more convinced than ever that w* can bars no assured financial peace and safety until the government currency ob­ ligations upon which gold may be demand­ ed from the treasury are withdrawn from circulation and csjiceled. This might ba done, as baa been heretofore recommended, but their exchange for long-term bonda bear­ ing a tow rate of Interest pr by tbelr re­ demption with th* proceeds of such bonds. Even If only th* United States notes known as greenbacks were thus i^tired. It la prob­ able that tbe treasury notes Issued In pay­ ment of silver purchases under tb* act of July 14. 1890. now paid In gold when de­ manded, would not create much disturbanc*. as they might from Hum to time when re­ ceived in the treasury by redemption In gold or otherwise, be gradually and prudently replaced by silver coin. In default ot this plan, however, it would be a step in the right direction if currency obligations redeemable In gold, whenever so redeemed, should be canceled instead of being reissued. National banka should redeem their own notes They should be allowed to lasue cir­ culation to the par value ot bonds deposited aa security for ita redemption, aud th* Lax on their circulation should be reduced to one-fourth of 1 per cent. . In considering projects for the retirement of United States notes and treasury notes issued under tbe law of 1890. I am of th* opinion that we hav* placed too much stress upon tbe danger ot contracting thr currency and have calculated too little upon tbe gold that would be added to our circulation If luvlted to us by better aud aafrr financial methods. It la uot so much a contraction of our currency that should, b* avoided as such unequal distribution. Thia might b* obviated.-and any fear uf harmful contrac­ tion at tbe name lime removed, by allow­ ing the organisation of amaller banka and in leaa populooa communities than are now Krmlttid. and authorising banks to eatabh branches in amsll communities under proper restrictions. The entire ease may be presented by th* statement that the day of srnalble and sound financial methods will not dawn upon us until our government abandons the banking buslnrM and th* accumulation of fund*, aud confines Rs monetary operations to th* re­ ceipts of th* money contrlbut<-d by the peo­ ple for its support, and to the expenditure uf such money for tbe people a benefit.

Crashing through the mist into ‘ the Corrubedo* rocks off the northwestern coast of 8;mln, the North German Lloyd •teamship Saliere foundered in a few minuftv, and all on board were lust. Two hundred nnd ten passengers were on board, and the crew consisted of sixty-five men. There was no time to take to the boat* and all went down with the ship. News of the terrible disaster floated to Villagnr.'Ui with the tide. An overturned boat with the name of the vessel painted on the sterh, spars and planks torn from the ship ns it crashed Into tbe rocks, wye, E'ept Jr shore as silent witnesses of the 16 of pasMbgere and crew. Not tai human being on boai~ WAs able to reach Safety, though It may be possible some .were picked up by passing vessels. The •inking of the Suliere may be one of tbe mysteries of the. sea. The Salicre was bound from Bremen to Buenos Ayres, by way of Corunna and .Villagarcia. Advices from Bremen and Corunna state that the passengers were mostly in the steerage, and consisted ot 113 Russians, thirty-five Galicians, six­ ty-one Spaniards and one German. The vessel -had put in at Corunna, nnd wns heading eastward for Villagarcia, when ■ it crashed into the jagged rocks, which arc-always given n wide berth by mar­ iners. The steamship rounded Cape Finisterre and proceeded'southward toward its last •topping place before it reached Buenos • - Ayres. Villagarcia is a town of less than 2,000 inhabitants, situated between (.’ape Finisterre and the City of Vigo. Tha Salieri* expected to pick up more passen­ gers at Villagarcia, bound for UruguayA heavy mist hung over the sea nnd a strong wind was blowing from the south when the Saliere was alion t due to bend toward Villagarcia. The vessel could eas­ ily have been seen from the shore but for the mist, as the channel between the rocks and the coast of Spain.is only about five mules wide. A miscalculation, and the Corrubcdo rocks were rvsiHtnsible for the greatest disaster which has ever occurred in the Bay of Arosu. Nothing «'ns known of the fate of the vessel until the floating wreckage reached Villagnrrin. The fact thnt the rock* are only about five miles from the mainland and thnt none of the passengers ot crew had been nble to reach the shore led to the belie’ that the Saliere must have foun­ dered within a few minutes after it had •truck on the reef. » PLAIN TALK BY CULLOM. Senator Cullom Thursday raised his Voice in the Senate in Cuba’s behnlf. He not only made an eloquent speech, but preceded it with si resolution which, if adopted, will pledge the United States to the extinction ot Spanish title and the termination of Spanish control of the islands at the gateway of the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Cullom is not an orator, but he is n very impulsive speaker. His ex­ haustive nnd at times eloquent review of the history of Spain’s oppression in Cuba was closely followed by Senators Sher­ ' man. Call. Hoar, Mills. Palmer nnd oth­ ers. who have been particularly interested in the Cuban question. “All the diplomacy of the age* never found a prayer hr which slavery could be dethroned." said Senator Cullom, iwopen—tnJT "It required- the humanity of Lin­ coln and the progn-ss of the republic to open the prison walls to liberty ami make glad a waiting world. If we wait for precedent we shall wait forever.” de­ clared the Illinois Senator a little Inter. "If a precedent is needed we shall make one. Cuba to-day is 1<»X tn Spain. The public proclamation of Spanish defeat may not have been officially and definite­ ly announced. but in truth ami fact the submission of Cuba will never again be yielded as of old. Tribute of $25,000,000 to $40.01X1,000 annually so long exacted will never again replenish the treasury of Spain. The struggles of 1895 andT890 *adly crippled Cuba, but they will ruin Spain. The American people are com­ ing to the consideration of the Cubau situation ns they already have in certain other cases, ns n great politithil question; a cont Mental question, if you please. And being a political continental question it will be decided ultimately by the conti­ nent whose interests nre most clearly involved. Geographically considered. Cuba cannot belong tn Spain.

Martinet was originally the npme of a colonel in the army of Louis XIV. He was a rigid disciplinarian, and remod­ eled and reorganised the army with such strictness that his name was sub­ sequentlyappl led to any severe dis­ ciplinarian. Abjuration was once simply a “swear­ ing away." Until comportively recent times in England it was customary, in tbe case of doubt of a criminal's guilt, to permit him to go to the church and awear to his innocence, after doing which he was cleared. Poltroon is said by some authorities to be derived from an Italian word sig­ nifying lazy, while others claim that it is from two Latin wards meaning “the thumb cut off,’’ because in ancient times a runaway from a battle had his thumbs amputated as a mark of disgrace. Mummery was originally an adapta­ tion of the name of Mohammed, and. In its first form, was Mohaqimctry. Dur­ ing the middle ages so many strange tales were told of the doings of the Mos­ lems that all tbe rites of the Moham­ medan religion were classified os mum­ mery. CURIOSITIES. The Portuguese say that no man can be a good husband who doe* not eat a good breakfast. The area of the great Sahpra desert is almost exactly the same as that of the United States. Sometimes in tbe course of a year so many as 400 bodies are taken out of the Kile, from which the Egyptians obtain their water supply. Calico print works use 40,000,000 j dozen eggs per year, trine clarifiers 10,- I 000,000 dozen, the photographer* and . other industries use many millions, and these trade orders increase more rapid­ ly than table demands. Tbe larynx of man ia twice the size,: on on average, of the same organ in woman, although this disproportion is j equalized by the fact that woman uses her larnyx a little more than twice os much as man.

It is to be regretted that many of our farmers and stockmen who are best fitted to do their brethren good through tbe farm papers nre so backward about putting their pens to pajier. We know 't«any men whose long experience aud careful. Intelligent observation have made their judgment on ceriain matlent of great luterest and value; yet they could not be induced to write an article for the paper, says National Stockman. And we know others who have no farms, never had. and never will have unless as a gift, who are will­ ing and think they are able to Instruct practical farmers through the press— at so much per line or per column. Every farm paper has too many (one is too many) of the latter, and too few of the former on its list of contributors. The obstacles In the way of the av­ erage practical man who thinks of writ­ ing for tbe paper are more imaginary than real. He Is apt to distrust bls ability to say things just right, or to ■spell just right; or be is likely to con­ alder that It is too great an undertak­ ing for him. This is a mistake. There Is no danger that the man who knows what be is talking about will make nny serious blunders when he writes. If he can tell a thing to bls neighbor across the fence, he can tell it to a man across the continent. Ail that is necessary is to write a plain, simple account. Never mind about tbe ipeillng. Don’t let the punctuation scare you out. The editor can attend to these. Have something to say. nnd say it as simply, dourly aud briefly as possible. This Is tbe sum to­ tal of a good article. Tbe accomjKinyiDg illustration shows an easily made and convenient truck for the feeding floor of the barn. Four wheels can be sawed‘from a hard-wood plank, nnd mounted, as suggested. There is a chance to put on sides aud Beet* Grown from Rud*. Every one who has handle! mature Immta knows that near the crown are small knots withh leaf attached. These arc buds, which, if the beet is planted in the spring, will bear branch®* nnd piGduce abundant seed. But if de­ tacked from the root, these buds will each grow into a beet, and quicker than the same beet can be grown from se^d. This, however, is no very im­ portant advantage, as ou a targe scale early beets can be cheaper grown in a corner of the greenhouse. The gain ta mainly in keeping the variety true to itself, when a strain of sugar beets coatalnlng more saccharine matter has t>een produced. The budded beet con­ tinues tbe same characteristics. Just ns ttie potato grown froiq buds does. But fhe beet from seed reproduces itself 'cry nearly, nnd there is by growing from seed u constant clinnee to increase its sweetness. Blue Gras* Fantnre. The common June grass of the North era States Is identical with tin? blue gross of Kentucky. All the world knows that in the tatter State ta makes Hie best and richest pasture known. Part of this is due to the limestone in which Kentucky soil abounds. Tin* roots of blue grass run near the surface, hence it ta a very early grass to.start In the spring, beenune the surface soil is quickly warmed; hence also l*s roots are more or less broken up by wlnb r’s fitczlng and thawing. But when warm rains come in spring this Injury ta quickly repaired. After a dry spring" blue grass does not endure r.ummer droughts well, hence also it uceds re­ plowing every few years. The Pig Pen. Keep size and growth foremost tn your calculations— nil you can get with good quality.

When you start In to fatten hogs don’t cram the corn into them all at once—all they will eat—bflf begin small aud grad­ ually increase the quantity. American breeders have developed hog breeding wonderfully.

Tbe Government whitewash is made as follows: Take half a bushel of un•laked lime, slake It with boiling water, cover during tbe process to keep In •team, strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of salt, previously dissolved in warm water, three pound* ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred In while hot, half a pound of Spanish whiting, and one pound clean glne, previously dis­ solved by soaking in cold water and then hanging over a slow tire in a small pot hung in a larger one filled with water.

Dairy Dot*. Large cows must have more feed than small ones. The cow that gives a good return for the food consumed ta the cow for profit. A poor process of manufacture will spoil the product of the finest cream ever collected from tullk. If you are rot getting the full average amount of butter from the cows, ascer­ tain wiint ta the matter. Leaves not only make a splendid bed­ ding for the dairy cows, but they add to tbe value of the manure. The first month of milking will decdie the question of whether the heifer should be kept in the dairy or turned to the butcher’s block. As sure os frost withers tbe grass, it loses not only Its succulence, but much of its nutritive value, and some other kind of food must be given with it or tbe flow of milk will decrease.

One mule, two mules four mules, six mules to the loads. Wheat and corn seemed to be tbe main crops until we came to Alabama. We saw as many colored people on Thanksgiving day out hunting as the old lady saw cats fighting. We saw a ftreat -many picking cotton; on one arge plantation I counted twenty-five coming from the field to the house with high baskets on tbelr heads, full of cotton. Every few miles would be a cotton gin and press, a large quanti­ fy of bales lying around to be drawn to shipping points. It would be a very slow way to make money for a north­ ern fanner.

And for Christmas greetings they are somehow well adapted to all conditions. In those cases where the Intimacy does not warrant gifts flow­ ers signify courteous remembrance only. Any previous courtesies, such as din­ ners or a scat in some one’s box at the opera, cannot be more grneefn’ly acknowl­ edged than by a box of cut flowers on Christmas Day. Boxes of cut flowers are most in favoi as Christmas greetings, although bou­ quets are much used. The bouquets an what the florists call natural bouquets. There > is no attempt at artifice. Th a flowers have long uncut stems and are simply clustered together and tied with handsome satin ribbons. Arranged Imskets of flowers look too studied and ure generally in disfavor. Sending baskets of growing ferns is very popular. Cuba’s cry of anguish is being re­ echoed throughout the Innd. The Amer­ ican penile, now thoroughly aroused to the shocking conditions that prevail in the island, are rising in their might and their compassion to assist the valorous people in a struggle for freedom that stands almost unparalleled in the annals of the world. From the coast of Maine Io the Gulf, from the Southern Atlantic States to the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada*, news comes that men and money are being raised to lend time­ ly assistance to the valorous insurgents. Even hospital stores are being secured and prepared to send to the men who may fall before the bullets ot the Spanish monarchists. The remarkable thing in all this show of love for Cuba and of hatred'for Spain is the fact that the Cubau junta say they do not need men, that they have suf­ ficient forces on the island to meet and conquer the battalions of Weyler and of bis generals. Nevertheless, the American people seem determined to swell the army of liberation. In various cities recruit­ ing is going on briskly. Companies of from fifty tn 100 men arc licit)g raised, many of them including veterans who fought on the blood-stained fields of the South during the war of the rebellion. These are both Federal and Confederates. Haring long ago joined bauds ns a united American nation, they arc now preparing to lend their valued aid in driving from the Gem of the Antilles the brutal Span­ ish oppressor. The attention of Washington official* has been attracted by the stories coining from all “portions of“fu«i country ludieating that cnlistn: nre going on of parties of men who wh go to Cuba tu join the insurgents In their straggle against the Spaniards. These enlistments are in direct violation of the neutrality laws, and arc prohibited under severe penalties. For accepting n commission to serve against Spain, a country with which the United State* is now at peace. the pen­ alty proscribed by section JkKl. revised statutes, is a $2,000 fine and three years* imprisonment, while for enlistment to serve against Spain, or hiring any one to enlist, the penalty is almost as hoary, being a maximum of fine and three years’ Imprisonment.

All behold with Increasing horror the specter which hovers over the fairest of the West. Indies and the endless reports of burning plautations, butchered In_ . valids and assas­ sinated citizens quicken tbe pulse and make us pray for the time whop the reign of blood shall end. The Cuban representatives here say that this end can be accomplished by the intervention of the United States in Cuba’s behalf. Our statesmen agree in this and senti­ ment and sympathy advise such a course. Intervention may lead the Government into serious complications and conserva­ tive statesmen feel that their first duty is to their own Government. Nevertheless there is manifest a strong sentiment for interference unless there be a change in Cuban affairs within a reasonable time. The position of the administration, as made plain by President Cleveland's ■ * message, has the commendation of the conservative* element. Maj. McKinley is reported to be in sympathy with Mr. Cleveland's attitude and to be particular­ ly pleased with the paragraph which fore­ shadows intervention. The *implication •• that a guarantee of the fulfillment of any terms agreed upon by Spain and Cuba might be furnished by the United States meets with the Pres­ ident elect’s approv­ al. The latter Is hopeful that a settle­ ment of the trouble may be well advan- SitaATOK MILLS, ced before he enters office, and he partic­ ularly desires that no hasty action shrill be taken by Congress, such as might con­ front the new administration with em­ barrassing foreign relations. Cuba's wishes regarding action by the United States were set forth by Gonzalo de Quesada, charge d'affaires of the Cu­ ban republic in Washington. “The Cuba:-, legation,” said be; “will strive, during the present session of Congress, to bring to a decisive end the labors initiated Inst year, ■when a concurrent resolution, substan­ tially declaring the belligerency ot Cuba and recommending the good offices of the United States should be directed toward obtaining the independence of Cuba was >pn i led. Since then the Cubans have grown stron­ ger. We claim that Cuba is free to-day. We assert that Spain is try­ ing, uusuccvMful'ly, to reconquer Cuba. She is at­ tempting to exter­ minate a people, not to subdue a revolution. Our ^jiknator LonoE. civil government, Supreme in three-fourths of the Island; anr complete military organization, our humanity to the vanquished, arc proofs tof the existence of a res{>onsibli‘, deter­ mined. rising, nationality, where there -was yesterday an oppressed colony. This ’nationality cannot be crushed even by the landing of new European armies on a territory over which the Monroe doc­ trine is perfectly applicable. With ns much reason as when the French troops were made to withdraw from Mexico can the United States urge the evacuation of Cuba by Spanish armies or request that Spain shall fight her battles with the troops she has already on this side of the ocean. We will work nnceasiugly to see the independence of Cuba and her bellig­ erent rights proclaimed by America." It is possible that there will be a lively time over this question in both houses of Congress. Representative Hitt, chair­ man of tbe House Committee on Foreign Relations, thinks no definite action will be taken by this Congress unless there is some decid­ ed change on tbe isl­ and or in rhe atti­ tude of Spain toward the United Stall's. Senator Sherman, chairman of the Sen­ ate Committee on Foreign Relations, will not speak on tbe subject. The atti-1 tude of most of the members is aggressive and several hare dwtered^heir intention «f introducing resolutions directing the Preaident to recognize the independence or belligerency of the Cubans. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge says: “The efforts of the administration to terminate the war by offering its good” offices have apparently failed. I consider that the rec­ ognition of belligerent rights nt this point would fee ill-advised. It would be a di­ ' rect help to Spain, and would not work for the Interests of pence. I believe we have reached a point where wc mu^t either recognize Culian independence or rise continue to await developments, fol­ lowing out the policy Mr. Cleveland has pursued hitherto.” Senatem Morgan and Daniel expressed thcmMclrea otrongly in favor of granting belligerent rights. Senator Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, ex­ presses himself thus forcibly: “The Uni­ ted States ought to take possession of the bland and ho!d it until the Cuban people can form a stable and satisfactory govemmrut for themselves. This country i» under obligations to do this. We have stood guard over Cuba for Spain for years, and have allowed her to perpetrate her horrible butcheries there while we have prevented the interference of any other power. Thus we became morally respon­ sible in tbe eyes of the universe for Spain's atrocities.

Decided action In regard to the re­ ported trenchcry resorted to by Span­ iards in the murder of Gen. Maceo seems likely to be taken by Cuban sympathizers in Chicago, leading members of the committee of 100, organized for the sup­ port of the Cuban cause, met in the rooms of the Union League Club and discussed the assassinatWn with many expressions of regret and censure. Fear­ ing, however, that tbe reports may nut be confirmed, the committee decided to take no action utftil later. Chairman Ed­ ward F. Dragin said that the committee would meet as soon as fuller reports an* received, and if the story is confirmed strong resolutions would be offered, and' j>erhaps something more doue in way of stopping Spain's career on the island. . COFFEE AVAK STARTED. War between coffee magnates has be­ gun in fierce style, and prices are likely to take a shurp tumble. The grim strug­ gle fur supremacy is itetween the sugar trust and the Arbuckle Brothers of New York, long known as the “coffee kings," and ths conflict was caused by the bold . invasion of the saccharine doinayrby" Thedeniers In coffee.

Convention nt Cincinnati. One hundred and fifty’delegates, repn•enting twenty-seven Hrute*. assembled in Cincinnati, when tbe national conven­ tion of lumber interests was palled to or­ der. Previous to perfectiijg’a temporary .orjanlxntlop. ,\IJfnlson and Defebnngfi nfade elaborate addresses, explain­ ing the purpose of the convention, the re­ quests for the call, and the present condi­ tion of the luml>cr business. They nppealed to the delegates from the South­ ern States, which section was largely represented. Most of the Southern dele­ gates have been free-traders, but, in re­ sponding to the addresses of Judson and Defebaugh, those delegates insisted that If there Is to be a protective tariff, lum­ ber should not be discriminated against, and said they would do all they could to secure a tariff on lumber. They stated that all other article* used in connection with lumber in all sorts of construction were protected, and that the lumber trade was now so depressed as to require relief. J. A. Freeman made a vigorous speech against the tariff of 1894 as discriminat­ ing against lumber nnd urging the con­ vention to take such action as would se­ cure just treatment to the lumber inter­ ests in the tariff bill to be enacted by the coming Congress. While the purpose of the convention wan to secure a tariff on lumber, a permanent organization was also perfected for the general interests of lumbermen In the future. The Defiance. Ohio, Electric Light and Street Railway Company has gone into the hands of a rerelver. WUHnin P. Hus­ ton, of Philadelphia, petitioned Judge Snook, who appointed Walter IL Faben.

This is the last of tbe famous Andrew Sauer enter­ prise*, all of which have provedv disas­ trous. Madrid dispatch: The explicit an-nouncemcnt is made that Senor Dupuy De Lome, the Spanish minister at Wash­ ington. has telegraphed to his govern­ ment that he bad a conference with Mr. Olney, the Secretary of State, in the course of which the latter assured him that Spain might rest tranquil until March at least, since, despite the attitude of Congress. President Cleveland would wot recognize the independence of Cuba.

After the pnf liminary cxereisi-s there was a proces­ sional entry of foreign delegates, about thirty-five in number, dressed in the cos-' tume* of their respective countries. Some were natives, but more were American workers in these foreign fields. When the cheering acompanying their entrance hnd subsided Commander Booth-Tucker advanced to the front nnd proceeded to unfold a plan that would co^t $20,000 to put in operation. The scheme is to buy forty acres of land In the vicinity of New York nnd divide it up with colonies of from three to fire acres each. Then he would rescue men from the peual insti­ tutions and place them on these little farms. He favored the establishment of a potato patch like Governor Pingree's, a woodyard where the boys could saw wood and an interstate labor exchange. ANXIOUS ABOUT TARIFF.

Toward The Senate Committee on Foreign Re­ lations, which is usually a very dignified and deliberate body, Turned a double sqmersault Friday on the Cuban ques­ tion, and against tbe protest of the Sec­ retary of State, who argued with them for an hour ami a half, unanimously rec­ ommended to the favorable consideration of the Senate' n joint resolution as fol­ lows: “Resolved, That the independence of Cuba be, nnd the same is. acknowledg­ ed by tbe United States of America. Sec­ tion 2.-That the United States Will use its friendly offices with the government of Spain to bring to a close the war be­ tween Spain nnd Gpba.” It was not be­ lieved in public circle* that President Cleveland would sanction the declaration, or that the House would support it. Should it become official,*if-is liellercd war with Spain would surely follow. But the S|ianish minister did not look upon the matter seriously, though the friends uf Cuba were extravagantly delighted. LAND PROMISED RECRUITS. Cuban Junta Hold. Ont a Reward to The Cuban junta has a representative in Port Angele*. Wash., who has suc­ ceeded in recruiting eighty-five young men for the Cuban army. They are prepared to leave for the East on receiving trans­ portation. which has been promised by the junto. It is authoritatively stated that they will be joined by several other companies forming qn the itound. The plan is for them to go to St. Ix>uis, where they will lie supplied with arms and six months' provisions. Their des­ tination from that point is kept secret, but they are promised safe transporta­ tion to Cuba. In the event of the success of the insurgents, those wbo enlisted are to receive a tract of land, the amount of which is to depend upon its value, but tn be not less than eighty acres. This land Is to i*u supplied by the confiscation of Spanish plantations. Agricultural im­ plement* are also promised for working the land. The National Solon*. Senator Morgan of Alabama held the attention of the Senate and well-filled galleries for au hour Tuesday by hb earn­ est advocacy of a strong and decisive policy in dealing with the Cuban qoe*-. tion. He asked for the adoption of the rcsolntion presented Monday, requesting the Secretary of State for the jwipcrs in the Competitor case and in other cases involripg the arrest of American citizens by Spanish authorities. The resolution was agreed to. The Senate took up the bfll,, pensioning Nancy Allabach. which had been vetoed by the President, and bill to reorganize the Atlantic and Pa­ cific Railroad Company was passed with­ out division, after certain amendments’ had been adopted. The House then en­ tered upon the consideration of the Loud bill to- amend the law relating to tbe transmission of second-class mail mat­ ter. The bill met with tbe most intense opposition from certain quarters.. It de­ nies the right of serial novel* to admis­ sion to the mails nt the newspaper cent per pound rates; denies to newspapers the sample copy privilege: prohibit* the return of unsold publications at pound rates and makes some other changes in the present.law. designed to correct ex-, isting abuses. It is estimated that the abmies of the law have-coat tbe govern­ ment $240,000,000 in the last ten years. No final action was taken. ( The session of the Senate Wednesday developed the most eventful aud exciting debate that, either branch of Congress has heard in a long rime. It brought forward the recognized leader* of the various parties, and elements, including such conspicuous figures as Sherman, Frye. Teller. Gorman. Vest. Aldrich. Platt. Mitchell (OrcJ. Chandler, Hale ami Alien In notable statemeut* on tbe lead­ ing questions-which -have engaged the at­ tention of CungresK ami the country of late. Not only were the lines laid down on tariff and finance, but the debate par­ took of all tbe pent-up feelingrcsult Ing from the recent national contest. Mr. Sherman closed the debate by saying that he felt the Dingley bill could never M passed. Mr. Bailey (Dem..

Chair­ man of the Committee on Military Af­ fairs, went Into committee of the whole for the consideration of the army appro­ priation bill. Tbe House adjourned, leaving the bill unfinished. The Senate Thursday passed the immi­ gration bill known as the Lodge bill, with a new section providing that the exclusion shall not apply to person* arriving from Cuba during the continuance of tbe pres­ ent disorders there. As passed, the bill amends the immigration laws so a* to ex­ clude from admission to the United States all persons over 1G-years of age who cannot read nm? write the language of their native country or some other language, but an adtdissable immigrant, over the age of 1G, may bring in with him. or send for, bls wife or parent or grand­ parent or minor child or granchild, not­ withstanding the inability to read and Write. The House passed the third of the regular appropriation bills, that for the support of the army, and entered up­ on tbe consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial bill. The army bill n* passed makes no provision for the army nud navy hospital nt Hot Springs. Ark. The House also passed several bills relating to the District uf Columbia and three resolutions for the use of flags of the war department, government reser­ vations, etc., on the occasion of Mr. Mc­ Kinley's inauguration. Friday was private bill day in the House, but most uf the session was de­ voted to.the passage of the thirty-seven pension ami'relief bills favorably acted upon by the committee of the whole Fri­ day. The bill to pay Flora A. Darling, the wife of a Confederate general, $3,GS3 for Tennessee and Ixmiriaua bank notes taken from her in 18G4 while under a flag of truce, which was attacked by Mr. Dalzell Friday, was laid on the table. Only five bill* were favorably acted upon. One of them, a bill to refer a claim of Thomas B.

The machinery consists of a geared windmill attached to a pump, churn, washing machine, feed mill, wood saw and grindstone. The Illustration shows the “pump bouse.” Tbe feed mill is on the upper floor, while on the ground floor is thr washing machine, churn, nnd pump, nil so arranged as to be easily hitched to the wind. Tbe deep setting creamer. ■which Is neatly kept, Is set In one cor- A CHKAF SOL'ECS OF POWKE. nvr of the pump house. A spout carries water also to a watering tank near by. wScre cattle nnd horses quench their thirst. The circular wood saw, the grindstone and the corn sheller. c, have been added in making the illustration, as has also a water tank. Tbis last is for use as a reservoir in very TOltl weather, to supply water to a smaller drinking tank outside the building. The ■water in this reservoir and In the creamer can be kept from freezing In .winter by placing a small stove. If nec­ essary, In the room. The stove would also be very useful at churning time and on washing days. Having ma­ chinery in a small bouse under the windmill does not prevent carrying tbe power by means of a chain, belt or tum­ bling rod, from the mill to other adja­ cent buildings. Screening wheat, grinding, shelling, cutting feed or other operations can usually be more con­ veniently done near the storage rooms. The mill Is convenient to the kitchen and saves much labor 'In jumping water, churning, washing, etc. A Convenient Farm Bench. The illustration herewith, taken from the American Agriculturist, shows a bench easily made In tbe home work­ shop and very convenient In many op­ erations about the farm—when plant­ ing tbe garden, grafting in the orchard. assorting fruit, dressing fowls, and a hundred and one other times when it Is desired to have tools or packages rais­ ed above ground. When not in use. It can be folded Into small space and put away, as shown in tbe first Illustration. The construction is so plainly shown In the cut that little explanation is need­ ed. The braces running from the mid­ dle to the trattom of tbe legs are bing­ ed to the legs and go Into slots a, un­ derneath the bench near the center. The bench ready for use is seen In the second picture. Some Carelca, Fnrmer*. A Western grange officer who haa been traveling through the rural dis­ tricts.-was Impressed with the careless habits of mnuy ot the farmers. He says: “I have been much over the coun­ try during the last two years, and when I see a plow standing In the corner of the fence, a binder under a tree, wag­ ons. carriages and,Implements standing promiscuously about the yard, it al­ ways attracts my attention, and 1 have been very much surprised at the lack of car# aud thrift which a ride over the country will disclose.”—Ohio Far­ mer. ’ * Warming the Poultry House. While there are many ways by which a poultry bouse may be made warm, yet but few make it an object to pro­ vide heat. As we hare before suggest­ ed. the cheapest method ia to hang a lighted stable lantern in tbe poultry house, suspending it from the middle of the roof. The vessel containing tbe oil ahould have sufficient capacity for per­ mitting of holding a supply for the' night, and the wick should not be turn­ ed too high. It Is not necessary to bave tbe temperature higher than 50 de­ grees, and os there la quite an amount of heat given- off from a lamp the tem­ perature will be raised to that point If the house is not too open; It will also assist in drying the walls and prevent­ ing dampness. There will be no liabil­ ity of foul air or Injury from tho lamp in winter. It is In Virginia, and is Thought to Ba a Ratio of ths Ice Age. One of tbe greatest curluidtirs In ths United State*, or in the world, per-, haps. is tbe wonderful ledge of Ice which exists, even Id the midst of the hottest summer, lu Scott County, V.rglnia. 'This natural ice noun* .* sit­ uated on the north side of Stone moun­ tain and- about six miles from the mouth of a small stream known as Stoney Creek. Tbe marvel is said to have been known to at least one of tbe Carlier settlers, a Mr. Dunridge. wbo.lt is alleged, discovered It while deer hunting away back, in 1830, Owing to to tbe fact that the laud on which it was situated could not be bought. Mr. Dunridge positively refused to tell of the wherabouts of tbe Ice ledge, and only visited the place when It Was ab­ solutely necessary, to obtain a supply to be used in case of sickness. . Tbe old man died, many years ago, and from that time until 1893 rhe lo-' cation of Dunrldgc’s l<*e miue was un­ known, the old gentlemen having never even taken his own family Into the secret. In the last year mentioned, however, n party of herb diggers visited the un­ frequented region contiguous to Stone Mountain and were fortunate .enough to re-dlscover the.lost ice mine. During two or three months in the middle of summer the ice is only, pro­ tected from the sun’s rays by a thick ’growth of moss. The formation of tlie Ice layer is similar to that of a coal vein, being thin In some places and thicker In others, the average being about four feet. • Persons of scientific attainments who have visited the place for the puriKxie of studying the wonder say it has the appearance of having been there since the time of the Ice age, which the geologists talk so much alraut. Another plausible theory Is that somewhere beneath the bed Is situated n< great natural laboratory, where oth­ er Ice Is constantly formed and expell­ ed. and tliat the process of freezing Is now constantly going on. Whatever • view Is taken of It It is one of the greatest natural wonders the state af­ fords. Cut Feed for Horses. All farmers use cut feed for horses when at-hard work, because there is n great saving In the labor needed to di­ gest cut feed. If mixed with some grain menl and wot so that the inegl can only be got by eating the exit feed mixed with it, tbe whole will be chewed suf­ ficiently to moisten It with saliva, which Is necessary to quicken diges­ tion. But this economy In feeding cut feed lx also Important when the horse Is not working. If the cut feed Is corn stalks, It should always -be steamed with very'hot water, tuf as to soften the eut ends of the stalks, which may cause Injury. This is th? bent, .also. if hay or straw is cut. particularly wheat or rye straw, which, being hanler'thau cut hay and less nfutritlouH, Is net likely to be thoroughly chewed. The stomach of the horse needs a slight Irritation. This Is the advantage which oats have over other grains. Its bull helps the grain to digest better, and this makes tbe horse feel frisky and able to do hlx Iraqi. It Is an old saying of farmers that when an old horse begins to act unusually coltish he has probably "got nn oat standing corner wise against his stomach, and he jumps around so ax to get It out.” It is a homely Illustra­ Birds of ill Nature. tion. but may have truth In IL—Ameri­ Among those birds which stay at can Cultivator. home, especially the most domesticated, there is often itn exhibition of unkimlA Device for Liftlmr.

He is a veteran of the ten years’ war in Cuba, nnd a warm personal friend of Commander-in-chief.-Maximo Gomes. He enjoyed Maceo’s confidence aud es­ teem. General Rivera was born in 1847 In Mhyagnez, Porto Rico. His father was a Spanish colonel. The son wns a student In the university nt Barcelona when the first Cuban war commenced in J86M. Although but 20 years old, he gave up bin studies and at once sailed for Cuba, when? he received a warm welroino from the insurgent leaders and wns appointed nn officer of General Gomez’s staff. Afterward he was appointed ns secretary to General Garcia nnd later was made commander of the department of the east.

Sixteenth Annual Convention Held in Cincinnati. * The sixteenth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor wns called to order in Cincinnati nt 10 a. m. Monday by President ‘Samuel Gotnpers. About 150 delegates were present nnd there were many visitors. Martin Fox, President of North America, had been selected by the labor organizations of Cincinnati to deliver the aildrens of welcome. Owing to the death uf a relative Mr. Fox was not present, and his address wan read by E. J. Denny. In the _ welcoming address more effective action for the eight-hour law and other reforms Were recommend­ ed. S]>ecial greeting* were extended Delegates Samuel Woods and John Mnllinson of England nnd Louis Vlgoroux of France, who were seated with Secretary Mctirnth and Assistant Secretary Mar­ tin Walters on the stage. President Gompers, in responding to the address of welcome, referred t,o at­ tacks on the organization because it was merely a federation nnd not a more com­ pact union. He showed how the fullest scu|>e was given to individual opinions «mk rights in the American Federation of Kit>or nnd thus the affiliation of dif­ ferent lalxir organizations wns possible in one general federation. He appealed for continued efforts for the cultivation of public opinion ns well as for favorable legislation and for the most earnest co­ operation of all labor organizations. UNCLE SAM’S CASH.

It was five years ago that Grant Branjbel, after experitnetftlng for sev­ en years, hit upon, tbe Idea of the little rotary engine for a) which he Is to recelve over $1,500,t*00 froul nn E,,«lish syndicate.

Minn., as station ngent nnd telegrapher of the Chicago nnd Northwestern Rail­ way, and la that capacity has lie there remained until now. In explaining the Invention which has brought him such affluence Mr. Brambel'said: Explanation of drawings—Fig. 1— Perspective view of a reversible motor embodying the Invention.

The expansion of steam gives the Im­ petus necessary to carry the piston for enough to bring the succeeding cham­ ber into the field of the Incoming steam, rhe first chamber being meanwhile ex­ hausted at 4. Reversal is accomplish­ ed by moving the lever to cause the admission of steam through the other Inlet port. “I first got the Idea of a rotary engine from the turbine wheel. I couldn’t see why steam couldn’t do what water did, especially when steam hnd qualities that water lacked and that were essen­ tial. I knew It was necessary to get the greatest p&tsible development of the steam expansion to give success to my Idea, and I have been working along that line for twelve years. 1 believe It will be hard to got anything simpler. largest engine has been In use In a Trenton, N.

For many months this building has been In tho center of extremely lively occurrences. Miss Barton went to Constantinople In the early summer. Bite haa recently issued a very interesting report of tho work she accomplished there. Hence the Loving Cup. The best account of the origin of tho loving cup is that given by tbe late Lord Lyons, formerly an ambassador In Paris. According to. his narrative. King Henry of Navarre while hunting became separated from his compan­ ions, nnd. feeling thirsty, called at a wayside inn for a cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing It to him as he sat on trarseback, neglected to pre­ sent the handle. Some wine was spill­ ed over, and his majesty’s white gaunt­ lets were soiled.. While riding home tbe king bethought him that n two-handled cup would prevent a recurrence ot this, so his majesty hnd a two-handled cup made nt the roynl pottery and sent It to the Inn. On his next visit he called again for wine, when to .his astonish­ ment the maid (having received in­ structions from her mistress to be very careful of the king's cup presented it to him holding it by each of its handles. ■At once the happy Idea at once struck the king of a cup with three handles, which wns promptly acted upon, os his majesty quaintly remarked, "Sure­ ly out of three haudlea I sliall be able to get oner A Christmas Lcgeird~ In Belgium.

Child study, which is now receiving more careful attention than in any preceding age, not only desires more careful attention by the teacher but also the parent. .................. The increasing demands of civiliza­ tion at common are felt nowhere more necessary than within the sphere of parenthood. This movement, child study, Is said to have first orlgnated In Germany In 1869. During that year the Berlin Pedagogical Verlen issued a circular the teachers to form some ■■ inviting Idea In regard to a child’s knowledge on entering school, by asking them certain questions. In 1880 Dr. Hall began bls Investigations ^concerning the Boston child’s knowledge. He selected 123 questions in regard to child's nature and society. He appointed teachers to perform the work, and the scholars were taken In sets of three and asked the questions. Children should have caieful atten­ tion In school as well as in the mod­ ern or current history of the present, for no one knows the responsibilities and duties which are to befall the rising generations. It is also true that a good share of this training Is to fall upon the.moth er, but does this seem right that air these duties should fall upon ‘her, when she has to meet her present re­ quirements as homekeeper and moth­ er? Teachers, do not devolve to much upon home, for mother Is the chief subject there. How queer It seems that all these years teacher and mother have been DEC. 25, 1896. FRIDAY. ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Brother Francis, however, did not appreciate tbe play. Mrs. Peter Rothbaar returned last week from a two week’s visit with friends and relatives at South Bend, Ind., last week. Her uncle. Chris Hawblitz, and sister, Miss AnnaHawhjitz, returned with her for a few week’s visit. The M. E. C. club was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kleinhans lost Monday evening at their beautiful new home on State street and a pleas­ ant evening was spent. Tbe next meet­ ing will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Ashley. The Barry County Agricultural so­ ciety held Its annual meeting at Host­ ings Tuesday and elected A. F.

President-elect McKinley, when in­ augurated, will be dressed in a suit of clothes made from American Merino wool, and manufactured In an Ameri­ can woolen mill. John P. Ray, the well known Merino breeder ‘of New Yyk, grew the the wool, and the cloth Is being manufactured by the Sawyer Woolen Contpany, of Dover, New Hampshire. The offer to the President-elect came from the Stand- -. American Merino Association, °*‘ which Mr. Ray is secretary. whUl a b*<e b,^hbean standard the public "Ktla able u. reach, and 1 can not understand bow this unaoquainted relationship catne about un­ less under feelingof shyness the moth­ er thought she had nothing to do with the teacher’s business, and the teach­ er unconsciously or otherwise did not combat this supposition. One of humanlty.s strongest ties is community of interest, and the child's well-being therefore demands special attention. Yet here are two women Interested In the training of a certain pupil, and neither knows nothing of each other’s plans, how Is It possible for each to accomplish their plans? Therefore it I seems as though a school could never reach Its highest usefulness until : mother and teacher are bound by otie i tie and working for the same interest. NASHVILLE MARKETS. Wheat 81 cts.

We desire to call the attention of our readers to our announcement, in another column, of an arrangement by which we offer the Michigan Farmer and The News, both for >1.35. The Michigan Farmer will soon add four pages to Its regular weekly Issue, making it twenty pages each week, which Is tilled with practical and timely articles on all the branches of farming. All the reading matter is set in •‘solid,’’ that is the lines of the type are placed closely together so that a page will contain as much reading as a page and a half of the ordinary run of farm papers. The market reports alone are worth the price of both papers, as they are very complete and thoroughly reliable The publishers of The Michigan Far­ mer always stop the paper when a sub­ scription expires unless they receive an order for a renewal.
