GRASSHOPPERS THERE Kansas a Land of Promise Com pared With New York. Creeks Di ieJ Up While Fields Lie Burned and Blackened. lit ffai.o, Sept. 1. -Western New York is almost literally burning up. The drouth is without precedent. Farmers mourn the low of crops and fear havoc by tire arid starvation of stock. Counties like Chautauqua and Erie have dairy interests of groat magnitude, and are the chief sufferers and unless rain comes speedily aud copiously this entire end of the state will experience a financial loss wh'.i'h it inn iil afford. 'I I, o bordering province of Ontario is similarly parchod. The Associated Press has ci lbx-ted tha following- data regarding tha effects of the drouth from its corrospon lents: Niagara Falls: The long drouth hr.s left its visibls iiupriut on the fields ev erywhere in Niagara county. In Mid dleport, Lockport, Brockport and other inland towns hay fields lie burned and blackened; ".Tops have been dwarfed; fruit has deteriorated and trees are shorn of their foliage. Through the fruit section there hs been a general attempt to overcome he ruin by artificial means. Angelica The loss to Allegheny coun ty wiil amou'it to many thousands of dol lars; the yield of wheat is shrunk from tme-third to half, it is estimated, aud it has been necessary to feed more than half the dairies, Since August 10 the grasshopper plague lias been alarming. Htirnellsvi.de Serious damage has been dona tha pasture lands of Steuben und many farmers have been obliged to feed their cattle. This condition is ag gravated by this scourge oF grasshoppers. Oats and buckwheat have been affected seriously and fields of the former have been cut before maturity to save them. The drouth has ripened the potato pre maturely and the yield will be small. Jamestown Lake Chautauqua has fal len two and m half feet; Chaiokin creek has shrunk to a rivulet and Stillwater creek is utterly dried up. Farmers here abouts are carrying water many miles to feed their stock. Acres of pasture lands have been bi.ruad over and fires are rag ing in timbsr land. Great damage is doi e to ti.e i..ievusi and a iniik famine is feared. Hamburg Farmers in Erie county who sell their milk and garden products to the city are downcast over the damage from the drouth. Their loss will be in estimable. The soil near the lake shore suffers less taan that on the eastern edge of the crun.y where timber lands are A .iiiy y and where sparks from passing i biUi' trains have kindled the lifeless B.ttavia The first rain since July 21 fell night before last in Genesee county but not in su indent quantity to quench the thirst of the soil.

Since August 1, but .!3( inches of rain has fallen, the least since 1874. The western peninsula of Ontario, the garden spot of Canada is parched and burned. All along the north shore of Lake Ontario and half way to Montreal the drouth is nearly as seri u. Pastures are drying up and streams supposed to be everlasting have vanished.

SIX I? LACKS SHOT. Sup-etc;l IirnbarneM Taken From tlte Officer liy a Iol and. 1a. i I led. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 1. Informatioa has bean received here that eix negro barnburners were taken from the cus tody of the sheriff at Millington last night and shot to death. For a year or more the people of that part of the country have been kept in a continual stat-; of excitement by acts of incendiarism. Bams and duellings have been burned, and recently tha buildings on the Milling-ton fair grounds were de stroyed. Suspicion pointed to Dan Haw kins, Robert Haynes, Warner Williams, Ed Hall, John Hayes and Graham White, and yesterday they were arrested near Kerrville, in the western part of the county, by Deputy Sheriff Ii.chardson. Later in the day the deputy started with his prisoner in a wagon for Mill ington, where they were to have a pre liminary examination before a magis trate. The six negroes were chained to gether. About mid light, when the party was nearing Millington, it was stopped by a mob oi fifty men armed with shot guns, who killed ail the prisoners and then remounted their hurst s, which were tied near by, and rode a.vay in the dark ness. The lynchers were not masked, but the officer, being new to that section of the country, recognized none of them. An inquest was held on the bodies this morning, and the jury, which included two negroes, found that the prisoners had come to their death in tiie manner stated, 'at the hands of persot:8 unknown." Sheriff J. A. .lcCarver. who was to have taken charge of his office today, will not do so until Monday. The out going sheriff, A. J. McLendon, will take the lynching in hand. Ho will goto the scene of the crime this afternoon. 31c Carver, tho new sheriff, is a man of a hardy and determined character, and the general opinion is that he will not fail to find out the lynchers and land them in jail. Dan Hawkins was arrested a year ago with several others charged with the burning of barns and residences in tha Kerrville neighborhood. They were brought to trial and two of them sen tenced to the penitentiary. They made a full confession and implicated Hawkins as the leader of the band of firebugs. Hawkins got a new trial, however, and after speudmg some mouths in jail was released a few weeks ago. Since that the burnings have recom menced and the Millington neighbor hood as well as Kerrvnie lias suffered. Deputy Sheriff Richardson was employ ed to ferret out the incendiaries and with the assistance of a negro "spotter."' he at length got evidence that resulted in the arrest of Hawkins and the other five negroes who were lynched. About nightfall yesterday the officer secured a two-horse wagon and a white man named H- T. Atchison to drive it. He loaded his prisoners into the vehicle, handcuffed and chained together and started for Millington. As they reajh.d lit creek t wo ruilea west of Millington, somebody iu the woods by tho roadside called out, "Don't try to cross there; the bridge is down come this way." Ilichardso!; got down, and taking the horses by the head led them into a path that opened in the direction from whence came the warning. It was dark iu the woods, but sullenly P.ichardsou saw two guns presented at his stomach and a stern voice said, "Throw up your hands." "What does this mean?" demanded the officer. "None of your business," was the reply; "throw them up." Tue officer obeyed. Then Atchison was ordered to get down and was p aced under guard. The negro prisoners, divining tha pur pose of the unseen mob, attempted to leap from tho wagon. A volley rang out from forty or fifty guns and they fell back, wounded and dying. A dozen of the mob leaped into the wagon and threw them out. Volley after volley was poured into the struggling mass, and iu a few moments all was still. Hawkins' head was almost hot from his fchoulders and some of the others were terribly mangled. The mob, after making sure that all six were dead, then mounted and rode away. Atchison then mounted one of the mules aud hastened to Justice Hill's house at some distance away and notified him of the slaughter. The justice tit once made ready to go to the spot and at daybreak wms there with a jury of inquest, composed of five white men and two negroes, who rendered a verdict as above stated. Judge Cooper of the criminal court summoned Deputy Sheriff Kichardson before him today and questioned him closely concerning the lynching. The judge is prepared to issue bench war rants for the arreftofal! paities to whom reasonable suspicion may point as being concerned in the crime. 35,000 WILL ST BIKE.

Na thaniel P. Banks, soldiar and statesman, died at his home in this city shortly be fore 8 o'clock this morning, from brain trouble, after a long illness. For nearly two years the general has been suffering, but he was not taken seriously ill until about two weeks ago. Early this Bum mer he began to fail mentally and was taken to the home of his daughter, tho wife of the Kev. Paul Sterling, Mount Desert island, Maine, for the summer. Three weeks ago his condition became more serious, and he was brought to his home here. He grew worse, and he was then taken to the McLean asylum at Somerville. He succumbed rapidly, and when he could not recognize members of his family it was decided by his phy sicians that nothing could be done for him, and yesterday he was conveyed to his home once more. He began to sink rapidly, and at six o'clock last evening it was evident that the end was fast approaching. Mrs. Banks, with the general's daughter Maud and his niece, Miss Sybil Banks, were at his bedside constantly until his death. At midnight Mr. Batiks became unconscious, and he slowly lost strength until the hour of hisleath. The end came very quietly and those gathered about the bed of the dying gen eral, were hardly aware when he passed away. On the announcement of Gen. Banks' death the flags of the public buildings in the city were displayed at half mast, and on every side evidence of the respect iu which the general is held is conspicuous. The funeral will take place Tuesiay afternoon, under the direction of Mayor Warden and Col. Stevens. On Monday afternoon the body will be escorted to Asbury Temple by a detail of the G. A. It, where it will lie in state Monday evening. On Tuesday af ternoon at l:4o brief services will be held at the residence, after which the body will again lie borne to Asbury temple, where the public services will be hold. -en. ImnUsS I.ifV.

The "National" Party Formed Today at Draddock, Pa- Near the Cradle of the Original Eepublican Party. DOWN WITH BONDS Appears to Be the Party's Main Idea. The Spoils System Also Must Go, Tliey Say. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. L The new national party, to bo called the "Nation als," evolved from the brain of J. B. Corey, a coal operator of Braddock, was born today. Its birth was to be accom panied by a parade and barbecue. The parade was a fizzle, but a larger crowd is expected at the barbecue, where there will be enough food to feed 5,1)00 persons. The convention was call ed to order in the picnic ground by Win. Corey. The call for" tha. "formation of the new party reads as follows: "We, the undersigned, citizens of Pennsjdvania, being deeply impressed with what seems to bo the almost uni versal conviction of patriotic citizens, believe that tho present financial dis tress, business depression, contempt of civil authority and anarchy prevailing throughout this country can be attrib uted to nothing so much as to the par tisan abuse of our municipal state and national offices; and we believe that if these abuses are continued they will in evitably result in the breaking down of our entire civil government "In support of this statement we point to the straits in which our rep resentatives in congress find them selves, that of putting unborn American children under bonds to meet the enormous cost of our general government, which baa increased from $G0,0U0,O00 in the year 1800, to $500,000,000 in 1894, while the population has only doubled. We pro test that the creating of an official aris tocracy, by our legislators and congress men voting themselves and their politi cal henchmen higher salaries than are paid in any other business outside of public offices, is not only contrary to the spirit of our Democratic institutions and opposed to our Republican system of government, but is putting upon the in dustries of the American people greater burdens than our national resources will stand; thirty years will see th American people compelled to repudiate the bonds now being issued to meet the current expenses of the day. "Realizing that a radical change in po litical p-nrties is absolutely necessary, and that a higher type of patriotism than at present prevails must be found in order to restore our government to the original intention of its framers, viz: "A government of the people, by the peo ple and for the people," we invite all patriotic citizens to meet in an informal mass couvention to be held at Brad dock's Field. Pa., to consult as to tho best means of organizing a new party with a view of terminating the abuses so wofully apparent iu our civil govern ment. "We respectfully set forth that the ex perience of the American people, under the 'political spoils' system is such that in our opinion, in the formation of a new party, as far as practical, the honors of, and not the spoils from, offices should bo the incentive of office seeking. "That tho platform of the new party should be based upon a reduction in the number of our national and state offices to the lowest possible point and of abol ishing offices maintained as a means for "political reward." That the members of congress should be reduced to one fourth of the present number; that the United States senate should be reduced to one-half; and the senators to be elect ed by the people. That the presidential oliice should be limited to one term, and the number of members in our etate leg islatures reduced to one-fourth the pres ent number. That, the salaries of all public officials should bo reduced to what they were before the days of the "salary grab" and "back-pay steal" congress. That all questions of tariff, finance and laws governing the civil anti-business re lations of the people should be taken out of politics and relegate-d to the law-making power." Names of many prominent citizens of Pittsburg were signed to the call. TORPEDO GUNS TESTED. Xew Guns For the Oovernmcnt More TIi an Satisfactory. New York, Sept. 1. Tho testing of the pneumatic torpedo guns at Sandy Hook was to have been concluded today. When the eight inch one was to have been tested, owiug to the fog which pre vailed it was rendered impossible to dis charge the gun as at its range, 5,900 yards, everything was invisible. Major Phipps aud Captain Heath of the bor.rd of ordnance of the proving grounds, tested the training, elevation and depression of the gun, both by hand and electricity. The requirements of the United States government specifications were more than complied with, Jhe time for each operation being considerably inside that allowed. Major Phipps and Captain Heath ex pressed their satiifaction with the result of all the trials made. To test the fuse, a 15-inch torpedo, a block with fuse was fired from one of the large guns, when picked up and examined it was shown to have acted admirably. Among those who were present was Post Captain Mertwago, of the Russian legation at Washington, who carefully examined the guns and was pleased with their working. It was stated that no eight-inch guns will be manufactured in the future, as the fifteen inch gun is ca pable of discharging all the different sizes of projectiles used. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. THINKS HE IS IJRECK. The Young Man's I a.ni II y Naturally Want it Kept ."Secret. Louisville, Sept 1. Thomas L. Mar tin, a well known young lawyer, who is a brother of State Senator Martin, has been committed to the Central iusano asylum. He has some very peculiar hallucinations. He believes that he is Congressman W. C, P. Breckinri Ige, and claims to have lost his voice making speeches in the Ashland district He says he is the best lawyer in Louisville, and has all the practice. None of tho other attorneys, according to his story, has any practice whatever. Last night he made speech after speech, in imaginary canes, and completely ex hausted himself. His family have tried n every way to keep the matter a secret He becamo so violent on Monday night that his doctor took him to Central police sta tion and wantod him confined. Because Major Gunther would not agree to keep the matter from the newspapers, tha doctor took hi patient to the river, where he has since been confined in a steamer. He was eo violent he had to be tied. Mr. Martin's mental derangement is attributed to overwerk and the exces sive use of tobacco. He is 34 years old. LIGHT SHOWERS. Kansas Will Have fo Ueiieral Itnln Soon, Savo Mr. Jennings. Sergeant Jennings of the United States signal service, says this afternoon: "Tha indications are that there will be local show-era in Kansas this evening but no general rains. There is a great change in the condition of the atmosphere, and there is moisture jd the air. There will probably be places in the state where the showers will collect and a heavy rain will be the result." The barometer has fallen one-tenth of an inch since ton o'clock which would indicate that the elements are somewhat disturbed. The rain at noon was not sufficient to lay the dust thoroughly on the dirt streets but there was a heavy rain south east of the city. The thermometer has cut up all sorts of queer capers today. At 11 o'clock it indicated 90 degrees and when the show er came it tumbled to bO. At 2 o'clock it was trying vainly to get back and had reached b3. K. r. PRIZES.

HOOK MA KING. The first books printed from tjF?-9 faced with copper came from tho press In 1850. Stereotyping in tho rn:;in. according to tho present method, was invented in 1779 by Tilloch. In B. C. 407 the price of wooden no count books for merchants' uso was a drachma each, about 19 ceut:?. A bookst Hern' trust was formed in London as early as 1S30 for tho pnrpO'.e of crushing out tho pmall book dealers. The fm;t printed and illustrated work on natural history was a "Ilerbarius, by Schocffor, in 1484. It had wood cut of 250 plant. Tho word book comes to tis from the Raxou hoc, mfanir.g ccit, brcanso the Saxons usually wrotu either on Ix ot h boards or on bark. When many copies of any book were required during tho days of manuscript, all the scriboH in a monastery wero as sembled and wroto from tho dictation of a reader.

The Eiilroad Gazette ha been allowed to peru-e tie applications for passes re ceive 1 ly a railroad company not named. Here ara a few tpecimeus, the Mr. X. re ferred to beinj the superintendent of the road ia que-lija. A legl o'iicer of the railroad says that when hi was arranging for a certain case tj co-ne before a certain judge of the djtf'-4 court, the judge aslied if be wouid tot get a pass, which ha (the judge) held, changed to iaeitdj his wife. The lawyer Bivs, "I could n-t do less than say I would make the request, as we have another case to ba brought before Lim t-ext Wednesday." So the j udge's i a-s was sent to Mr. X. "without expressing my opinion of the man." We regrii that that judge never had a chance to know what the lawyers and Mr. X. thought of him. The judges ara perhaps uot :he wor-t offenders, bat It seems to us particularly odious that they should ask f jr passes. Oae who baa lost an anaual, writes fur a trip pass. '1 wo others, disti iet j adges, ask the local ageat to procure trip parses for them. Another one, a circuit judge, asks the Unite 1 States deputy marshal to do this Lus.ness for hiio. Of co'srse, put lie orScers of high and Ioa' degree, appear unceasingly in this batch ot letters, governors of states and mayors of cities, cou-iciimea and aider men, county clerks aud sheriils appear In tha laeiauchcly monotony. It would take too much riom and be too tiresome to brief the iette.'s from members of thd houses of representatives and senates of the states, but these gentlemen ask with serene cooll ieura for passes and .-methiag for strangers within their gates. One letter is !ro:n a prosecuting attorney m a ves tern state, He says that bo hud Hnsed ior a pass a couple of in b. Bins oei ore ami hai ruceived a printed lk saying i l it in accordance with the ivii' w i. int LLjiaaT ii Lull, a JJ. O I v uf le grantM," or something like that. Concornug this by saysi "No doubt you are greatly troubled for passes, but to s-;ud aie a letter like that, with addi tion il w rds tha yu would lis. a my c j o erati-n in ci'ryia? out this much nee led ref rnj, at.d refusing to grant me the pas?, is rather presumptuous, for I hav- da.iy to grant favors of the law of a great state tcr your railroad. Your men are all lialla to state prosecution for running trains on Sundays, alio for lenity trains stop across public streets ia towns and cities, and ia other ways. You give passes to judges w uui salaries are in in. h larger tha l mine, and mv pay de pends on li.e cumber of successful prose- tions that i procare, as it consists mostly J m istn, una more u me same eilect This impudent lfctter is endorsed 'declined,-' we are 1 id to see. 'e fear that few railroad super intendents would have had enough back bone to refuse tte request of the roguish pror-eeuung attorney. The deputy at torney geueral of a western state, who is g-oiag to gel married, wouid like a pass ior bin-self and wife, and adds that he will feel under many obligations. This request was declined. A former apjaier of the national houe of representatives asks for passes for his wife, bis wife's sister and her cousin. The lieutenant governor of a etate asks for etn annual and says: "In appointing my committees I have fa vored the railroads, believing that the interests of the state demanded it" 1'ro'oably they d.d demand it, but what a commentary on th sense of public duty in high oAice this lieutenant governor's request ii A member of tha house of representatives of another state asks for an annual, sayinj that he is aware that the constitution of tha state interdicts the granting of passes, but various rail roads have given passes to his "legal brothers' as attorneys, so he seems to think that the law can be neatly evaded and the petty f r iu i committed upon his constituents, and Le keep out of jail. A particularly persistent fellow is the a;-e;tier of the house of representatives of a western state. He has received the superintendent's letter saying that he is not authorized to grant passes to mem bers of the leg-is, ature except while the legislature is m session, but he explains that be is the spiaker of the house and therefore expec.s and receives special p rivileges, and t.&a in fact received an nual parses fron. all the other railroads from which he t as asked them. We do not kno'.v what Lis luck was, but know ing our friend e suspect that the per sistent speaker hai to pay his own iare dur.nj tae vacation. The caairnua of a state political cam paign committee modestly asks passes tor a period cov.-ritig the campaign for 21 persons, in crier that they may make a t.iorougu canvass of the state, lie says: 'Although the i leis of our party rnav not f villy accord wab your own, it is very certain that in the event of suceess we may be able to to yo-i some substantial favors." A man writes from the hall of representatives of the state and says that h-j has djne much to de feat bills aliening the road and would like at. aunual. A member of the house, writing concerning this man, says that he is nut a member, but a lobbyist, and that he knows of his hav ing done cothin j whatever of any value for the road iu question. An official of a state's prisoa si presses obligation for the superintendent's unexampled gener osity in complying with his request for a half-fare pans, aad adds: "should it ever fail iu my way ta do you a favor, I shall certainly improve tha opportunity." Mr. X. attaches to this letter aa elegant wood cut of tha prisoa itself, which doubtless suggests the sort of favor that he might expect. Of course, tha chief of police asks for a pass, and so does the fire mar shal for himself, aud from time to time for various men in the lire department. '"VVby a railroad company should not get police and tire jrotection without being laid under spec al tribute we do not quite see. One obnoxiaui letter is from the editor cf the sgricuitural columns of an impor tant provincial paper, lie had received printed circular replying to his request for a tr p pass aad replying that the pass cannot be sent lie has for a great many years ben connected with the agricul tural press and lone more than any oae man to increase agricultural production, by which tna railroads live, and now this ins.gni .leant request for a trip pass for huu taues and ifctura is declined. With. J burning iadigna'.iGn he re plies: "Yery well; tae day i past whea railroad shall rule the world. The privue jfe and bo nuses tad r.iyaitl- that fceretof art hava beea asked tad received tniags of the pa-at, never a-faia to be repeated."

The Council "Will Probably $3,600 in Repair3 Put ON THE K1SSAS AYENUE BRIDGE. There. Will Be -o Chance In tne Bi-es-'ele Ordinance Juat Slow Aew MetTearer Ordinance to He ton Bide red. The council will take up that old and well worn subject, the Kansas avenue bridge at its regular meeting oa Moa day evening. Something will have to be done with the bridge and done soon. The intention of making an attempt to build a new bridge has beea abandoned and the old structure will swallow up a few thou sand dollars more in repairs. The floor is almost totally worn out and the planks are hardly more than an inch thick in any place. Not a night passes, but that the street commissioner is com pelled to put in new planks. He has met an obstacle in his work ia the fact that the stringers are giv ing out and will not hold pikes. The street commissioner uses nine inch spikes to fasten the new planks, and even then ia many instances the stringer will not hold the spike. A new floor for tae bridge would do little good without new stringers, and ome action will be taken by tae council to provide both a new floor and new stringers. This will cost the city 3,6UJ and would probably put the bridge In uch a shape that no more repairs will be needed until a new bridge can be built Councilman Bradford thinks that some thing should be done to strengthen the uperstructure and destroy the oscillat ing motion whea wagons pass over the bridge. Mr. Bradford suggests that a row of piles be driven between each sat of piwrs. He savs that the cost would only be a few hundred dollars, and that there would no longer be any danger of the bridge falling with these supports put in place. Tha members of the council are ia favor of matin? any necessary repairs. but the condition of the city finances will not permit a heavy expenditure. 3vO REJPOltT ON" BItiCLES. Committee on Streets arid 'Walks Will Xot Act on the liicycle Ordinance. The bicycle ordinauce is worrying some of the members of the council. It seems that the impression is general that the ordinance is too severe in its provisions, and that it would never be enforced if adopted. The registration clause is causing the greatest opposition. It provides that every bicycle owner must register with the city clerk and receive a tag to fasten to the wheeL The object is to assist in tha identification of the owner ia case of an accident and to identify the wheal if stolen. One of the councilman said that it would be just as sensible to require every maa who owns a horse to register. Tha ordinance will not pass. Council man Stephenson thiaks that the ordi nance now la force to prevent riders from usiug the sidewalks is all that is necessary. The ordinance was referred to the committee on streets, and the committee is not particular about reporting. They held a meeting and concluded to refer the ordinance back to the council with out a recommendation. There is one matter that the council ought to include In a new ordinance, if one is adopted, and a new one is bound to ba adopted sooner or later, and that is that no bicycle rider Bhall go faster than eight mile3 an hour within the city limits. It is because of racing and "speeding" that people are run down and injured in the streets. The council can not afford to neglect this matter. THE SCAVENGER ORDINANCE. A New Ordinance AVill Be Considered, and There Will lie a l ight. Since Judge Hazen has decided that the scavenger ordinance is not operative until next May, the question of repeal ing the ordinance, and enacting a new one, has been the talk among the mem bers of the city counciL It would only ba necessary to change the first clause of the old ordinance. Any move to adopt a new ordinance will be bitterly fought ia the council. Several of the members are now opposed to giving the mayor the option as to the number of scavengers. Councilman Stephenson of the Second ward will lead the fight He now thinks that the num ber of city scavengers should not be fixed, and that any one who pays the necessary license and has the prescribed sanitary apparatus should be allowed to work.

IVILli GIVE 810 MONTHLY. Lee Jones Offers to Contribute for Care of the Poor. "One thing that the people;of Topeka must face sooner or latt?r," said Lee Jones today, "is the condition of the poor. The winter is almost here, and there is no dodging the fact that there will ba destitutiou before unheard of iu the city. "I cannot move in the matter first be cause of this cuit against me in the dis trict court for selling liquor. People would say I was doing it to secure pub lic sentiment in my behalf. I will do this, however, and stand ready to pledge mvself any day. I will sign a contract topay flO a month to the Assoc. ated Charities from now until April 1. I am hard up, but I am willing to forego tue pleasures of my membership in various societies on that account 'This is the best plaa lean think of and if we start now we can have a fund by winter which will enabie us to meet the necessities as they arise. I believe I could go out and get l'JO business men to sign such a contract in half a day. "County Commissioner Williams was talking to me about the condition of the poor in the county a few days ago and he said that a very serious condition of affairs confronted us and that there were people suffering for necessities now who have never known what want was before. There are many who are really suffering for bread. They don't ask for tha luxuries but do not even have the necessities. 1 hope some one will take hold of the mat ter sooa aad I am willing to do my share." MAY CAUSE TROUBLE. The Bridge Men nay the Santa X'e is not Fair With. Them. If the present aspect does not soon change, railroad men say there may yet soon be another strike on the Santa Fe system. If it comes at all it will be in augurated by tha Brotherhood of Bridge and Building Men of America which claims to be thoroughly organized along entire system and includes every bridge man in the employ of the road. The bridge men say that the road refuses to employ men who are members of good standing in th6ir organization, if they are accused by the road of be longing to the A. IL U. They say the officials do not give a man an oppor tunity to prove whether or not he ia a member of the union. The men say that tha superintendent of that department, P. W. Sayer of this city, has been given that instruction by his superiors. ihe national convention of the organi zation will convene at Little Rock, Ark..

It is rare indeed nowadays that one rocs oven the t.aljle of a poor man set "with i lain white ware, while the houses of the wealthy show set after Ret of china of such beauty and value that caretakers are put under bonds to insure its safety. The most expensive services are of Doulton, Royal Worces ter, or Dresden, the latter vith its tiny flowers beinir exceedingly popular with those who oan afford it. The Eng lish Cauldon ware, though costing more thnn the Ilaviland china, is said to be better worth the difference in price, as it is claimed that it will not chip easily. C-m sets are f-hown, with long-, slen der plat ters widi plates to match, as ere sets for serving asparag-us. Rohemian rlass is used for salad tow Is and finjrer bowls. Speaking of g-lats.

A well-known aesthete recently ad vised women never to pass a mirror without l'.xkin$r iito it, and observant persons perceive the wisdom of this in junction. When one is shopping-, for instance, full-lenjth mirrors are fre cpiently encountered, and a passing-g-lance is f-ufficient to reveal the dis ordered veil or hat, the strip of braid torn from the bottom of the grown, the bow or flounce av ry or any other de lect in the toilet, and it is then au easy matter to remedy the shortcoming-, which, neglected, vould stamp one as lacking- in proper reg-ard for tidiness. Therefore, the mxlern woman gdanees into every mirror as she hurries along end takes a furtivo peep now and then into the jeweled glass suspended at her belt, earing- not one ivhit if some of her friends deem it a vanity, as long- as ehe is thus reassured of her neat and trim appearance. The Wee Ono't Thumb. Nothing- too Btron;? can be fiq-ainst permittirg- children to said suck their thumbs. C larming- and heart-delig-htinjr as this common occupation of the baby is to the average mother, nothing- will more surely ruin the shape of the hand:. It is the cause of broad, flat thumbs in after life. There ere preparations to put upon the baby's (thumbs which will render these rosy dig-its less palatable, and after one or two attempts baby will soon forg-at tha Injurious habit. in us Mi -.it.ir-i 4&A &JL Afli I i's'in "3 Ai Extraordinary Han!. The Empress Eugenie recently took Prince Napoleon with her to Windsor to present him to tho queen as her heir an impressive fact vhp" tho ex-mistress of the Tuiltric-o' fci .aiie is consid ered. Most of her wealth is in good English stocks too. It is being told of Eugenie that, on a late visit to Paris, she went "incoar. to a fashionable palmist to have her fertilise read. As part of the necromancer's art is not to see hia f.iir penitents, she had to put her hand through a slit in a screen. After quite a cursory examination the fortune teller said: "Madam, your hand is so extraordinary that one or two things mist be the truth. Either my skill must bo at fault for once, a:id I see im possible events, or you must be the Em press Eugenie, f.-r 1:0 other hand could tell of such stran.-e vicissitudes." Tlio Iliili)t unci Justice. A writer in Womankind Fays that tho great question for women today should be not tho ballot, but justice, the exac tion of the sanio code of morals for men and women, the treatment cf a man ;;s a moral leper, let alone by women ev erywhere if the woman is to become an outcast. That is better question than the one of tho bullet. That is equal rights; that is equal v. r orgs. The bodily pure women ar. not always mentally pure, but let tl:i;; who are in the posi tion from which "f-.tor.e throwing" is possible sfono l-oth cr 1:0:10 and refuse the hand of foMuwr-hip to be th or 1:0110.

She was touched and amused when an invalid child in an accident ward lately shyly addressed her as "Mrs. Princess of Wales." Liverpool Mercury. Wear Comb I3efore the Knot. Shell combs and ornanxnts of gro tesque shape should now be placed in front of the Psyche knot that is worn ou top of the head. Tho hair is drawn into a small Lnot high 011 tiie head, and the comb in front of the pert knot is very becoming to a bright faced, pretty trirl. The Republicans of North Dakota put a woman suhrage plank in their plat form at the recent state convention and unanimously nominated ISIiss Emma F.

A shoe drawer, divided into compart ments, so that each pair of hoes may always be found together without delay, is a convenience appreciated by a busy woman. The stenographer of the Danish house of representatives is a j'oun woman. Women are coming forward more and ra',re in that country.

It didn't take lj:ig for lUe judge to de cile that the city didn't want Daniel so lie placi! 1 his hue at and sus pended tho sentence twenty-four hours. This means that if Daniel is not out of the city tomorrow morning he will be the guest of Jailer V'oodrufE for twenty-five days. John Hart was in a good deal the same fix. John used tj work in the oil wells of Wilson county and he hadn't all the oil o!T hifti yet. He wanted to go to Abi lene and the juige gave him twenty four hours to get started in.

The polica think Johnny lias been guilty of trespassing the limits of the prohibitory law.

Isaoella Proctor Says Frijjht Is the Cause of Most Cases of Drowning. Special Correspondence. 1 Atlantic City, Aug. 30. Of all tho oiitdoor amusements in which a woman can indulge oTdmiuing is prob ably tho most important. Not only docs it bring nearly iill tho muscles of tho body into play and increase the expansivo po-.vei" of tho lungs, but possession oi' th-j r.cgompliuhment fre quently decides tho question of lifo sud death. While it ia rather difiicuit tci learn a good strolce without tlie aid of a master ni!l?s tho beginner is a child, a. few lessens from a comioleut teacher, are enough to give the pupil a sufjicieut knowledge of tho correct motion to al low htr to ptrfoct herst alone. The ability to swim a long distance without giving out is of great value and ia uoluom po-sessed by women, who can swim 10 or 15 feet very well, but then collapse as hopelessly a3 if they could not swim at all. It is a good plan to swim parallel with the shore in shallow water, and when tired attempt to turn over on tho pack and flouf without let ting the feet touch the; bottom. The pow er of changing from swimming to float ing, and vice versa, i; important in deep wate r, as it gives the swimmer a chance to rest ar,l then resume her progress when she has t alien breath. The turning is accomplished by taking tho strohe on ouo side only and straightening out die body as ii; rolls over. Treading water is most easily learned by slipping into it from swimming. The pupil should swim out a foot or two beyond her depth, gradually shorten and lower the arm stroke and let tho feet sink and tlie leg stroke boeomo alternate. At first the head will nink to the lips, but it will not go under unless confidence is lost and tho stroke becomes rapid and con fused. After a little the head and shoulders will rise abovo the surface, but as this practice is rather exhausting it is Eafcr to swim back into shallow water before becoming tired. For the side stroke, which is very rapid and graceful, turn tho body slightly, hold ing the head in a horizontal position, anil take a slow up and down stroke with the lower arm, while tho upper one is straightened to make a long sweep from the shoulder almost to tho feet. The feet may be moved together or al ternately. If tho pupil wishes to learn to carry another person, she should practice with some one who can swim and can therefore be trusted not to bo seized with panic at the first failure. Always begin to practice this in shal low water to avoid tho chance of acci dent. It is nearly always fright that drowns even nonswimmers, for nature has ar ranged it so that whatever position the living body occupies in tho water, ex cept flat on the face, the breathing ap paratus remains above the surface un less forced under by violent and unskill ful movement. It is possible to float quite safely with the knees doubled up under the chin and the arms wrapped around them, or with the feet bent back under the body and the hands grasping the toes. Ilnally remember that splashing and noisy swimming are the sure signs of the tyro. Breathe through the nostrils, take h slow stroke, keep the hands under'wa ter and aim to move as silently as a fish.

The Gladstone Tweedmouth contribution of 100 pounds each to the Irish parliamentary fund, i.s causintr a sensation in all political par ties, liaron Tweedmouth in forwarding his contribution from Scotland wrote .Mr. Justin McCarthy chairman of tho Irish parliamentary party, saj'ing that he had received a note from Mr. Gladstone enclosing a check for one hundred pounds to be forwarded to the fund. The Unionists are making much of the fact that none of the money which is said to be pouring into tho Irish coffers, is going to the evicted tenants. The Globe, this afternoon, comment ing upon these contributions, says that a double effect will be felt from this sub sidy. It will keep the Parnelliles in good temper and the evicted tenants will become more exasperated than ever. The Globe also says: "If Mr. Gladstone and Baron Tweed mouth had taken this action without con sulting the premier, or Sir William llar court, it savors of springing a mine upon them."
