As stated in the Bangor petition signed by Chief Justice Peters, Congressman Boutelle, Hon. E. B. NTeal le.y, General Hamlin and others, “It is not necessary to recite the military record n A» Cnv,r,n.. nnr] rvinvur Iraorc nf suffering that he lias endured since the war, from the wounds received in battle.” General Choate, Inspector General, is Lieutenant Colonel in the Maine militia, and one of the best drilled officers in the state.

The bill to give the State Board of Health certain executive powers has been drafted and, after some revision, will make its appearance. In view of the clanger from cholera to which the coun try may be subjected next year, it is be lieved by the board that there is urgent necessity at this time for the enactment of legislation which will give them op portunity to take proper precautions to guard against the entrance of the dis ease at points not reached by the local boards. For instance, it is poinied out that in the great Maine wilderness, in the northern parts of the state, there are roads which, although traversing sec tions where habitations are far apart, orp ttfcill avfimips nnnvmnnir.nt.irm ho. tween Maine and the Provinces. In case of a visitation of cholera, the board might deem it necessary to have such roads watched to prevent the arrival of persons with the murderous microbes hidden among their effects. As it is now, the board has only advisory power. The bill will also include provisions to enable the state board to interfere if a local board should neglect to perform its duties. It has been said that the state board has only advisory power now. That is true, but there have been cases in which it has exercised an executive power which it did no: possess. A case in point was that of the action of Dr. A. G. Young, the secretary of the board, as long ago as 1885. It was in that year that the small pox prevailed extensively in Canada. There were then no local boards of health in Maine, the act estab lishing them not being passed until 1887. During the small pox” epidemic in Cana da, Dr. Young was in Bangor one day when he heard that a car load of immi grants was due in that city en route to the West. Dr. Young telephoned to the police station and the Bangor authorities sent an officer to meet him at the depot and obey his instructions. Dr. Young and the officer reached the railway sta tion at just about the time the train with the immigrants arrived. The offic er stood guard over the second-class car which contained the immigrants, while the doctor examined them. None of them had small pox. but they were all vaccinated then and there and al lowed to go on their way. The proceed ing was without authority of law, but the immigrants did not know and made no objection to being vaccinated. The board of health, however, does not care to do its business in that way and it is to guar against the necessity of such a method in the future as well as to enable it to aid in enforcing the law as above stated that it now desires the legislation mentioned. The Inspection of Fertilizer*. The farmers, besides their interest in the tax question, will have another mat ter before the legislature in the shape of a bill to provide tor the inspection of fer tilizers. in brief, they waut the analy sis of fertilizers done at the experiment station at Orono as now. But they want the manufacturers to pay the bills'by the establishment of foes for such services. As it is now, the cost of such inspection comes largely out of the State College fund. The bill may also create an office, that of a commissioner to superintend the work. The State Board of Agricul ture is backing the measure. Another Man In It. Wm P. Hubbard of Bangor, one of the city assessors, is mentioned as a candi date for the Republican position on the State Board of Assessors, to be filled by a Republican. Nominations by the Governor. Augusta, January G.—The governor made the following nominations today: Justices of the Peace—H. H. Adams of Bel grade, C. M. Bisbee of Sumner, Koy F. Bartlett of Caribou, Howard M. Cook of Clinton. Wol come F. Fuller of Livermore. James P. Hutch inson of Auburn, Charles Allen Judkins of Kineo, and L. Frank Jones of peering. YORK COUNTY COURT. The Grand Jury Reports but Three In dictments. Saco, Me., January 6.—In the case of the Biddeford Savings Bank against Cy rus P. Berry, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff in the Supreme Court today. The grand jury came in at 10.30 o’clock this forenoon, after having been out less than three and one-half days. They re ported only three indictments, none of which were liquor cases. The indict ments reported were as follows: State vs. John McLean, alias E. W. Harrington; forgery and uttering forged written instruments. George F. Haley is the prisoner’s counsel. State vs. Cyrus T. Young; assault and battery upon Carrie E. Doty. Prisoner’s counsel James A. Edgerly of Great Falls and George F. Haley. State vs. Charles A. Dawley; com pound larceny from the store of An thoine Son. Prisoner’s counsel proba bly Edwin Stone. Henry Smith of Waterboro, who is in Alfred jail for larceny, and Michael Mur taugh of Biddeford were discharged from jail, no bill being found. The fact that the grand jury did not bring in any liquor indictments caused surprise and did not please County At torney Perkins, it was not because thereVere no cases brought before them for a large number of witnesses were ex amined, and it is understood that about 15 cases were considered. Two of the 18 jurymen were sick and one had been excused, so there were only 15 present this term. It takes the vote of 12 to bring an indictment, so that four men could hang out on every case and pre vent a bill being found. Judge Foster made no remarks to the jury. There were several other cases in whioh no bill was found. Some of the bondsmen in the liquor cases are a good deal worked up just now, the reason of their trouble being that some of tlieir men have gone visit ing, and are not expected back until af ter court adjourns. These same men have prolonged their liberty fop a year by skipping cut before^ the May and September terms, ahcTtneif* bondsmen have been notified that they must either have their men on hand at this term or forfeit their bonds, which are in some cases quite heavy. The House of the Good Shepherd. [Special to the Press.l Rockland, January 6.—Through the munificence of Mrs. Wm. F. Cochran of Yonkers, N. Y., and the untiring efforts of Rev. J. S. Moody, pastor of the Epis copal church, an asylum for orphans and neglected children is to be open in th s city. Last spring, Mrs. Cochran pur. chased the Stackpole house on Maple street for $5000, donating it for the above named purpose with the promise that the city would raise an endowment fund of about $5000 additional. The task of fitting the home and carrying out Mrs. Cochran’s project was undertaken by Rev. Mr. Moody, and the House of the Good Shepherd, as it is known, is announced to be opened tomorrow.

The two Rockland companies which cut from Chicawaukie lake have large crews at work and are fast filling their houses besides loadiug several ves sels. At Lilly Pond, Rockport, the lo cal company has 150 men and 50 horses at work. It is expected that they will cut 40,000 tons, the largest crop ever har vested in that town. Further than this the company will gather a second crop if the demand is sufficient. Fire in Aubnrn. Aubchn, January 6.—By an explosion of a lamp tonight, fire communicated in the house on High street, owned by the Jordan heirs and occupied by Dr. Davis.

SENATOR CHANDLER PREFERS CHARGES AGAINST TREASURY OFFICIALS. Weather Bureau and Free Delivery Post Offices to Gome Under Civil Service Rules—Frye and Chandler Have a Pas sage at Arms—Comprehensive Prayer By the House Chaplain. Washington, January 6.—The Presi dent has extended, by amendment to Postal Rule 1, the classification of the postal service to include all free delivery offices, of which there is understood to be 601, 53 of these offices are at present classified. The President has also approved the amendment to classification of the agri cultural department, bringing within the classification of that department em ployes of the weather bureau elsewhere than Washington. The number of persons affected by this change of classification is between one and two hundred. The new extension will make the total number of places within the classified service 48,600. A Blighty Short Step. Washington, January 6.—The first active step towards the report to the Uaiibq rvf o nvntvncitirtn fnr ronoa 1 nf flip Sherman silver bullion purchase act was taken this morning by the House com mittee on banking and currency, which briefly discussed the repeal of the act and then adjourned until tomorrow after noon, when it will further consider the matter. Meanwhile several compromises on the silver subject are maturing, mem bers hoping to find some common ground on which agreement may be reached that will stop present bullion purchases. Tilt Between Frye and Chandler. Iu the Senate Mr. Hill’s resolution of yesterday as to the immigration bill was taken up and agreed to. After routine morning business the Senate bill grant ing additional quarantine powers and imposing additional duties upon the marine hospital service was taken up as special order. There was a discussion by Chandler, Harris and Vest on the pro priety of restricting immigration. Mr. Chandler strongly advocated the suspen sion of immigration for one year. Mr. Platt asked whether the seventh section of the quarantine bill (giving the President power to suspend immigra -tion) would not answer the purpose. Mr. Chandler said it would be coward ly to lay the responsibility on the Presi dent. For 30 or 60 days after March 4th the President would have more trouble —some subjects to deal with than con tagious and infectious diseases. Mr. Frye—The President who is to come in March 4th has courage enough to issue a proclamation to suspend im migration if in his judgment it is neces sary; because, long before March 4th, he issued a proclamation to prevent what he believed would be the infection in the Senate. [Laughter.] Mr. Chandler—I dislike the Senator’s flippant way of introducing humor into discussion of serious subjects. I do not think the President-elect has any views on the subject of the suspension of im migration on account of the cholera. I do not believe he will want to take up the subject after March 4. Mr. Chandler spoke of the inconsisten cy of admitting ‘’ten dollar immigrants” and excluding self-supporting industri ous men under the labor contract law. Mr. Frye interposed the remark that the most cleanly people on the face of the earth, the Chinese were excluded by larv. xil I vuauvuvi oimi UV imunou uio am of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company and press to aid in improving the condition of the steerage passengers on the vessels of that company. Influ ences from time to time exercised by steamship companies prevented any pro gress in legislation. He made no charge of illegitimate influences. Referring to North German Lloyd Steamship Company Mr. Chandler said it was the favorite route of the secretary of the treasury, the commissioner of immigration and other treasury officials. When they go abroad it had always, he said, given them the very best accom modations, and if they ran short of money while on the other side and Con gress was negligent about providing means for their transit and support over there it loaned them money. The bill was opposed by Messrs. Mc Pherson, Mills and Platt, and favored by Mr. Dolph, who suggested modifications, which were agreed to, consisting mostly of a proposal to substitute the words “secretary of treasury” for words “ma rine hospital service.” Other amendments, mostly verbal, were offered by Messrs. Vest, Call, Mor gan, Teller, and McPherson. Some were agreed to, the rest went over without action. The bill was ordered printed with all amendments and the Senate ad journed. Private Pension Legislation. In his prayer in the House this morn ing, the chaplain uttered a special invoca tion for divine protection of governors and legislators of the several states. The Speaker, after approval of the journal and a fruitless call of committees for reports, stated that December 17 a bill was called up extending the provis ions of the act to provide for muster and pay officers and men of the volunteer forces, the consideration of which was postponed until today. The bill was then passed. The House proceeded to the consider ation of the unfinished business of pri vate pension bills coming over from last session. Four or five passed without opposition. Mr. Eilgere made the point of no quo rum on the next, A call of the House was ordered and 18G members responded. Then about twenty-five private pension bills passed without opposition. At 4.30 the House adjourned. Checking the Coal Borons. Washington, January 6.—The special Reading investigation and report will probably be made to the House within a few weeks. The members have not yet consulted as to the nature of their re port, but at least a part of them believe that it is possible for Congress within its constitutional province to enact legisla tion that will be effectual in restraining the coal combination. A SIOUX CITY FAILURE, Which Carried With It Three Other Big Corporations. Sioux City, Iowa, January 6.— The Leeds Laud and Improvement Company of this city, failed today, with liabilities of $500,000 and assets less than $1,000,000 mostly real estati The comnany or ganized to build up manufacturing in the suburbs of Leeds for speculative purposes.

Topeka, Kas., January 6.—A shortage of $7000 in the insurance commissioners’ department was made public today. Criminal proceedings will be instituted against TV. B. Wilder, ex-commissioner, now of Kansas City, and .James Billings ley, bis chief clerk. The money was stolen by Billingsley, and no blame is at tached to Wilder. A BIG FAKE Was the Story of the Bakersville Lynch ing and Biot. Washington. January 6.—Regarding the sensational story of the Bakersvillei 27. C., lynching and riot transmitted from Johnson City„Tenn., signed J. W.Hyams, the following message was received from Johnson City today: “J. W. Hyams came here about one week ago from Cranberry, 27.

The storm, of which Portland had but a touch, started on the 2d of the month in the northwestern part of the United States. On the third it took a southerly course, and gathering moisture from the Gulf Stream, went northward to Michi gan.

High Authorities Disagree. New York, January 6.—The failures for the last seven days reported to Dun Russell number for the United States 323; for corresponding week last year 393. Brgdstreets say: The failures this week are fewer than in any similar period since 1889. The total for the United States 313 against 339 in 1892. Repudlicans Came Out Ahead.

Four school boys took their places upon the stand, and were soon under the pro fessor’s influence to a marvellous degree. The entertainment was the talk of the town next day and the professor was a hero without a peer. He gave another show Tuesday night and the hall was crowded. Somehow the “power” did not show. The professor’s influence had passed, and he dismissed his subjects in disgust. The sequel came this morning after the aggregation left town. Then the boys confessed. The professor had engaged their services for the evening for a small compensation and drilled them during the afternoon. BRIEFLY TOLD. Mr. Blaine is about the same.

This he did and reported as follows: “After a chemical analysis of Indian Sagwa, and, examining the various sub stances entering into its composition, I find it to be an Extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs, of Valuable Remedial Action, with out any mineral or other deleterious ad mixtures He had no suggestions to offer which could improve Sagwa, as it was a remarkably perfectcombination, and it is safe to say that no improvement could be made.

Disease Among the Herds and Horses of Mail e Danger to the State from Im portations of Glandered Horses—The Kecord of Work Done the Past Two Tears—Important Suggestions as to Legislation. The biennial report of the Maine Cat tle Commission lias been submitted to the Governor. The whole number of eases inspected by tho commission in 1892, is one hun dred and fifty-eight, an excess of forty one ever any previous year. Ninety-five herds of cattle were inspected, and sixty three stables and lumber camps. Thirty eight head of cattle were condemned and destroyed at an appraisal of $1,271. 50, and twenty-four horses were also condemned and destroyed at an ap praisal of $1,225, the total amount of ap praisal amounting to $2,496.50. The number of horses destroyed is larger than any previous year, and a very small percentage of them were State of Maine bred, we being indebted to Massachusetts for eleven head, to Canada and the western states for nine and Maine four The number of cattle destroyed is also ItU tiiail UJL auj jHti' JV^CAA, M.AIVA V/A the tln'rty-seven head condemned and ap praised, sixteen came to us directly from Massachusetts, the balance being mostly Maine bred; so that, out of sixty-one animals destroyed in 1S92, Massachusetts has contributed twenty-seven. In 1891J thirty-one head of cattle were destroyed at an appraisal of $1,109 60, and eighteen horses were also condemned and de stroyed at an appraisal of $1,480,the total amount of appraisal amounting to $2, 589.50. These summaries show that the actu al appraisals of Horses and Cattle Condemned and destroyed during 1891 and 1892, amount to r503(3, which is $86 in excess of the whole appropriation for these years, thus, say the commissioners, re ducing the salaries and actual expenses of our board, in inspecting cases scat tered from Kitterv to the Aroostook into so small a compass that the work can not be decently or adequately performed by the present board, or by any other who may succeed them; and we most respectfully submit for the considera tion of the present legislature, these facts, together with the suggestion that no money can ever be better appropriated or expended, than for the preservation of the public health. Tlie expenditures of 1891 bad exceeded the appropriation approximately a thou sand dollars, so that at the commence ment of 1892 we had but $1500 to carry on the work of the present year, while the demand upon our service has been greater than in any previous year. The reports published by authority of the secretary of agriculture in January, 1892, show that there were at that time three hundred and twenty-eight thousand live hundred and forty-three head of cat tie in Maine, of the total valuation of 88,407,714, and one hundred and ten thou sand seven hundred and nineteen horses, valued at $9,860,299. The number of horses since then lias been constantly on the increase, and the character and value greatly improved by judicious breeding, while in Androscoggin, Kennebec, Pen obscot and portions of Aroostook coun ties, where dairying is receiving marked attention, cows have been increased in numbers and value. Tlie Founding of a New Industry in this state within the past year, where by two immense factories are already ex tensively engaged in the production of “condensed milk,” has also created an in creased demand for the raw material, the purity of which is now conceded In all the markets of the world, and these im portant industries will continue to de mand, as they deserve, the constant pro tection of the state, if we are to maintain the high reputation Maine now enjoys for the almost absolute condition of health among her “flocks and herds.” The quarantine against Massachusetts cattle which went into effect January 1st, 1892, is still in force, the experience of our board during the year just closed having fully satisfied us that the meas ure was both wise and necessary for the protection of all concerned, and as yet no results have been reached in Massa chusetts that lead us to believe tubercu losis among the bovine population has received such official restraint as to ma terially decrease the disease to any marked extent among the catt e of the old Bay State. Aside from tho fact that Massachusetts occupies a much more ex posed position than Maine as a receiver of diseased cattle and horses, while we are more safely apart from the turbulent current of the cattle trade that “ebbs and flows” at Brighion, there is a reason much more potent ro our minds than any other why these diseases should con tinue to baffle control in the former state, while we remain practically free from them in Maine. By reference to section 2, chapter 177, of our statute law, it will be seen that Maine pays to the owner or owners of any animal destroyed by order of the cattle commissioners “one-half of their value, as determined upon The Basis of Health before infection, out of any moneys ap propriated by the legislature for that purpose,” while the Massachusetts law reuders the owner no compensation for any diseased animal destroyed by order of their commissioners, the only excep tion to this being, that if an animal hav ing been condemned, should prove upon post mortem examination to be sound, the owner may recover a fair value for such animal. So long as tiie laws of these sta.tes remaine so diametrically op posed to eacli other as at present, we can see no reason for any immediate change in our relations. If the official reports of the cattle commissioners, and also those issued by the boards of health and other state offi cials of Massachusetts for the past five years, are to be accepted as true, the old board turned over to the present board (appointed in 1892) 170,470 milch cows and 90,799 oxen and other cattle, among which a certain amount Jot tuberculosis existed variously estimated by the most conservative of the veterinary surgeons at from 10 to 25 per cent. It may be asked how all these reports, even if true, affect the State of Maine, and we answer that if we were to Accept 25 per cent, as the maximum amount of tub erculosis among the milch cows of Mas sachusetts (176,476 head), excluding 06, 709 oxen and other cattle given by the last census) we would reach the number of affected milch cows whose products are being daily offered for sale in their markets as forty-four thousand one hun dred and nineteen, as opposed to 22 head found affected in Maine the past season out of a total of 328,548, together with the much more important fact that the affected per c ntage of All tlie Cows from Massachusetts, whether registered or unregistered, brought into Maine within the prescribed time, have proved by post mortem tests to be 40 per cent, or over, the present year proving no exception, as our report shows that out of 88 bovines condemned, 16 were contributed by Massachusetts. If, on the other hand, it should be urged that the minimum estimate of 10 per cent, should as fairly be accepted as the truth, it is very unfortunate for Massachusetts that all the cows or bulls that have been brought into Maine and New Hampshire for the past years, con tinue to show a percentage far above either estimate by the official annual re ports of these two states, both of which continue to quarantine against Massa chusetts. As regards glanders, the unusual num ber of cases tnat have been brought into the state within the past few years, would seem to call for some more re strictive legislation in regard to them for not only does the state pay out a’ large amount annually for such "diseased brutes, but they invariably act as a men they were brought in contact. In 1891, we called especial attention to these cases, together witu the prominent symptoms of the disease, and we strong ly advise purchasers to have all “foreign bred” horses examined before purchas ing by some person familiar with the pathology of the disease. Several horses were brought into Maine last season that had been bought in answer to such “Shyster Advertisements” as are constantly appearing in the col umns of the Boston papers, although we have been able to trace but one such case.the present season. It would hard ly seem possible that we need to further enlighten the most verdant citizen of our state as to the bogus advertisements of the “bereaved widows and orphans” of Boston and vicinity. It will be noticed that out of 63 stables and lumbar camps inspected during 1892, but 23 of them proved to contain cases of glanders, thus proving that 40 of these notices were “false alarms, even after corresponding with the parties giv ing such notices, in every case, and we would impress upon such parties in the future, that while we regard the prompt disposal of cases of glanders as always important, we wish to avoid the impres sion that seems to exist tha all horses having a profuse discharge from one or both nostrils, are necessarily cases of glanders, as catarrh is very common among coarse bred horses and always difficult to remove. The commissioners reprint the symp toms of glanders and farcy for the bene fit of all having suspects to deal with. Energetic inspection of all stables, in places where glanders or farcy is known to exist, should be carried out, and the law strictly enforced, in order that there may not be the slightest possibility of such a repulsive and intractable malady being conveyed to the human subject, either by contagion from the live animal, or by ingestion of its flesh.

The Sad Story ot Their Trials and Misfortnnes. WHAT THEIR PARENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE MATTER. Only Good News at Present to Tell About Them. When the lovely vouug daughter of the noted scholar, Profess or J. M. Elwood, of 43 Cornelia St., Brooklyn, N. V., fell ill with St. Vitus Dance, it was a great and serious shock to her distinguished father and the young girl's many ac quaintances and friends. Many promi nent physicians treated her case in vain until her parents were almost in despair of a cure. She was quickly and suddenly cured, however, and is perfectly well at present. The Professor, on being interviewed, ex pressed his great joy at his daughter's restoration to health and spoke strongly in regard to the wonderful remedy which had wrought so sudden a cure. MISS ULWOOD. “it affords me greatest pleasure,” he said, “to state that my daughter, who was a sufferer from St. Vitus Dance, and who was treated for it by prominent physiciaus in Brooklyn without result, was completely cured by using two bot tles of Dr. Greene’s Xervura blood and nerve remedy.’, Another little girl's case, which excited much sympathy and a great amount of interest and rejoicing when at last she was cured of her serious nervous affection and restored to perfect health, was that of little Lucy Bemis, daughter of C. H. Bemis, Esq., a prominent and well-known citizen of Granby, Mass. “My little girl,” answered Mr. Bemis, when que tioned, “had been taking med icines for a severe nervous trouble for nearly two years, receiving no benefit. I then bought a bottle of Dr. Greene’s Xervura blood and nerve remedy, and her recovery by its use has been remark able. Others of the family have also re ceived benefit from its use.” LITTLE LUCY BEJIIS. There is no mistaking the fact that this is the true children’s medicine and that it occupies in the household the position of the best and surest family remedy. It is perfectly harmless to give to nervous, restless, sleepless and sick infants and children of any age, being made from pure and health-giving vegetable medi cines. If your child is sick, send instantly to your druggist for a bottle of this wonder ful curer of disease, and when you see your darling gain steadily in health and s rength day by day, you like thousands of other parents, will bless the d iy you learned of its marvellous curative pro perties. It is not a patent medicine, becauso it is the discovery of the famous Dr. Greene of 34 Temple Place, Boston, Mass., who has an enormous practice among nervous and chronic diseases, and who can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter. Whatever you do, do not fail to use his great remedy if your child is sick. Purifying Water. Dr. Daremberg, writing concerning the means of rendering a cholera infected water innocuous, says that this end may be accomplished in one of three ways— viz., by filtering, by boiling or by the addition of some chemical substance which will destroy the germs of the dis ease. The first of these methods is as a rule ineffective, and can be relied on only when every detail is most scrupu lously attended to. The second is effect ive, but troublesome, and cannot always be carried out, fire and a suitable vessel for boiling being indispensable. The third method is one which, he says, is equally effective as boiling, and which ran be carried out anywhere and at any time. The purification of water has been ef fected through the addition of alum, but the author prefers the acidulation of the water, especially in the case of possible cholera infection. Citric acid may be added to the water in the proportion of sixty to eighty centigrams to the liter. This method is inexpensive, does not im part any unpleasant taste or odor to the water, and can be done anywhere with out the need of cumbersome or delicate apparatus. In place of citric acid, tar taric or hydrochloric acid may be used if desired.—New Yo£j£ Medjcal Record. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. W. L. WILSON CO. SOME3T3EH3NrC3t- nNTES'W.

CRAZED BY THE COMET. |The Prospective Arrival of Biela’s Orb Left Its Influence Behind. There are wise people to-day who be lieve that the proximity of a comet to the earth brings with it various diseases, mental as well as physical disturbances. “I never took any stock in this comet business,” said a practical friend of mine. “Pve seen several comets in my time and read all sorts of rot about them, very little of which I believed. But this comet” He paused and drew me away from the crowd. Having glanced about him uneasily, he continued: “This comet nearly drove my wif crazy! Yes, sir; fact! And she’s nearly driven me crazy. Do you—have you seen anything queer about me lately?” I told him I had not—that he looked as sane as his average fellow mortal. “Well,” he resumed, “Pve run a mighty narrow chance, I tell you. But she’s cured now. If this infernal comet hadn’t gone away just when it did I should have been locked up by this time. “My wife is ordinarily a quiet little woman and takes no particular interest in the newspapers except when there is a mysterious murder case like the great Maybrick poisoning case or the Carlyle Harris case, or something like that— something mysterious, you know. Then she grabs the newspapers and reads up on it, and thinks about it, and talks about it, and advances theories about it, and thoroughly masters it, hanging the de fendant every day. She can find more clews than the whole metropolitan po lice force. She pounces down upon me at breakfast with her theories and clews and suspicions, and as these are changed after reading the evening papers I get another dose at night. “But this comet! She has been stricken—yes, sir, stricken—by the mys terious influence the comet is said to have upon the human mind! It was manifest in her the very day she read the dispatches and the differences of learned opinion as to whose comet it was and its probable orbit, its distance, the number of sparks in its tail, etc. If it had been a straightforward comet and come right out where everybody could see it and where everybody ex pected it, she would have been all se rene. But the mystery of the thing, the uncertainty, me disagreement or astron omers—that settled her. She began reading up on the comet from the news papers. As every newspaper differed, and every authority in every newspaper differed with every other authority in that or any other newspaper, she found herself suddenly plunged into a whirl of excitement. “She sprang comet on me every hour in the day and swept the heavens with a 3-inch opera glass every night. She had a sort of idea that redhot chunks of iron were liable to drop into our flat. She went up on the roof to see the me teoric shower and got locked out up there by the janitor. If I hadn’t missed her she’d have been frozen to death. She got up ten times a night to look out, and once she said she smelled sulphur. She slipped out of bed the first thing in the morning and read what the papers said about the comet, then went back to bed again. When I sat down to breakfast with my paper she was loaded for me. You could see a hazy red light hanging over the Jersey horizon from our win dows, and she had those windows open so much at night we all got colds and snuffles. On Sunday night the sky over there was bright red at intervals. Well, she was just wild. Then she smelled the sulphur in the air. I never saw a woman get so excited. She scarcely slept a wink. “The next morning, when she found that it was the Jersey meadows on fire and that she hadn’t seen the comet at all, she was the most disgusted woman you ever saw. She won’t touch a news paper now. She says the newspapers aro the biggest liars—next to the astron omers—on earth. If I say ‘comet’ at her now she is as mad as a hornet. “In my opinion, it’s been a confound ed fraud all along. This man Biela, or Beely, ought to get six months on the island.”—New York Herald. Rare Relics Unearthed. Four of the most remarkable relics discovered have just been found in the western Egyptian oasis of Theba and sent to the Louvre in Paris for exhibi tion. They are plaster casts busts. mi_1_ era of prosperity at the close of the Sec ond and the beginning of the Third cen tury of our time. They are not, as it would seem, detached pieces of statues, but are complete in themselves. They are masks used for a special class of mummies, and like most of the Egyp tian curiosities come from the grave. The departed members of wealthy families were provided not only with sepulchers, but with a sort of armor composed of several pieces, which completely incased the dead body. The feet were thrust into a pocket shaped affair like a car riage foot warmer, and separate pieces were made for chest and neck, as well as the hair, with a mask for the face, which often resembled the features of the dead.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A tarn from Red Bluff. A few days ago James ft. Holt went for a quail hunt along the banks of the Sacramento river. Under a cover of brush he discovered a nice flock of birds, but when he raised his gun to have a ihot they disappeared. He felt satisfied that there wore quite a number under a particular bush and he blazed away. The noisy fluttering which followed told him the result and he ran for his prize, and just as he was reaching out his hand to catch a wounded quail he was sud denly shocked to discover an enormous rattlesnake in the line vf the bird. He approached the birds again with his gun cocked and ready for a sudden shot, and learned that the snake was dead. When he fired at the birds ha tilled the snake and six quail, although hone of the birds or the serpent were in view. The snake had eight rattles and a button and was 334 feet in length.— Bed Bluff (Cal.) News. Ho you want to know what is going on in the world—Take the Press. I THE LEAVING OF MONEY. Why Jay Gould Was Justified in Bequeath ing His Fortune as He Hid. Jay Gould left his great estate to his children, as might reasonably have been expected of him. When men accumu late money, much or little, it is natural that they should hand it down to their children, if they have them, and gener ally the public sentiment commends them for so doing. The feeling that a man should rightfully look first after his own household prevails among the people. When the estate is as vast as Mr. Gould’s, however, some newspapers utter exclamations of surprise and protest if some of it is not bequeathed for public purposes or for organized charities. They seem to ptoceed on the assumption that the man is hound to take away from his children money which he himself would not give up during iris life. In other words, they would require him to force his children to make benefactions which he himself had not made. If a moral obligation to give away his money thus rests on a man, it rests on him personally and during his own life. He does not discharge it by keeping the money while he lives and compelling his children to give it away for him after his death. If his money or any part of it belongs to the public of right, it be longs to them during the life of the man, not merely at his death. He is respon sible for the stewardship and is account able for its performance, and he cannot transfer to others the obligation. Really it cannot be called noble gen erosity, high altruism, for a man to give away his money only after he is dead and he has no more use for it. He should be his own almoner dnring his own life. If the methods by which he obtained his fortune were culpable in his own estima tion and he wishes to make atonement for them in departing from this life, he can do it only by returning to the indi viduals the money which he took from them wrongfully. He does not whiten his offense by giving it to somebody else. If it belongs rightfully to others besides himself, it belongs to those from whom he got it by unjust means. It was made evident during Mr. Gould’s life that he had no such consci entious scruples as to the means by which he accumulated his great estate. Death did not come to him unexpected ly. For years past he must have been forewarned that his life was approach ing its end. The consciousness that his time on earth was likely to be short probably induced him to pay special at tention to his religious obligations as he understood them. He became a diligent attendant upon a Presbyterian church, and he gave his open adherence to its se vere doctrines of future accountability for his conduct in this life. He was not an infidel. He was an orthodox believer. He must have died thinking that his for tune was rightfully his own and had been obtained by means consistent with the obligations of religion. He could not have felt that he was under the moral compulsion of making restitution to any body. In leaving his fortune to his children he put upon each of them the burden of his own moral responsibility to use his money. He made each of them his own almoner, with power to use his own in come in his own way, as he himself had done and insisted on doing. That is all. —New York Sun. An English Socialist.. Moms is brusque and kind, most gen erous and large hearted. He is full of the most restless energy, and choleric, one would say, from his fine face. Like many of the socialist leaders, Hynd man and Champion and Cunningham Grahame among them, he comes of gen tle folk, was a public schoolboy and an Oxford university man. It was his rest less energy, I suppose, that drove him out of golden poetical dreams into a full, busy and beneficent life. I should not be a hit surprised to hear of him some such story as I have heard of another social reformer, whose father was one of England’s greatest soldiers and Ireland's noblest sons. This gentle man, like William Morris, has estab lished a co-operative industry near Lon don, which is a practical socialism. He is a big, sinewy, bronzed person. Imag ine the surprise of a friend of mine stay in cr in fho hmnao n.t RAftin^ him the first evening draw out a workbasket and proceed with the making of a night shirt, in which he took prodigious stitches, while sucking away placidly at a big pipe! “Oh,” said his wife, when my friend laughed, “Henry is so energetic that his hands must be employed even when one would think he might rest, so he makes all the night shirts of the neighborhood.” —Katharine Tynan in Indianapolis News. Feminine Perfection. The people of Montana seem to have precipitated an unexpected discussion as to feminine perfection. Dr. Sargent, of the Harvard gymnasium, has measured nearly 10,000 women who were perfect as to health, strength and general devel opment, but his results were not such that he is willing to affirm that there is such a thing as a ‘perfect femirnne fig ure.” He took as his standard the aver age of each of the measurements made for the whole 10,000, and then compared the lines of each with that. Eamoll. “Every tenth mind is more or less ab normal, and you can readily see that in the. crowded thoroughfares of a city like this' there must lie hundreds of people of unsound mind wandering about,” said a famous alienist yesterday. “Occasional ly they are thrown into mental paroxyms by being jostled or spoken to or inter fered with, and then you read sensation al articles in the daily journals headed ‘A Dangerous Lunatic at Large,’ but the fact is as I have stated it—there are hun dreds of lunatics at large in our streets. When I am not reading I often amuse invself hunting for them in the street cars, on the elevated trains or on the ferryboats. Any expert in mental dis eases can recognize one at a glance. “Any sculptor will tell you that by glancing at a draped figure he can feel the form beneath it, and so do we alien ists when we gaze at a human face. Al most unconsciously we feel the degree of mentality. True, there are certain outward symptoms of deranged intellect, such as the unsteady eye, the peculiar smirk known as the ‘loony leer,’ and cer tain motions and movements of the lips and hands and fingers; but the experi enced alienist doesn’t depend upon them. As I have told you, he feels the presence of subacute mania in the same way as a sculptor does a concealed figure; hut more than this, he is often able to note the presence of a lunatic by the sense of smell. “It’s a physiological truth that lunatics exhale an odor that is almost as distinct ive as the smell of musk, ambergris or sandalwood. “There is nothing surprising about this, for many fevers and contagious dis eases have their distinctive odors, as any physician will tell you. The mind, or if you will, the nervous system, is largely concerned in the task of keeping the secretorv organs in a free and healthy action. Some people are so dull and lymphatic in their temperaments that they never perspire. Lunacy is purely a nervous condition, and hence it is al most always marked by a peculiar and indescribable odor proceeding from the imperfect action of the nerves on capil laries.”—Pittsburg Press. Keeping Churches Open. “When I get rich,” said a business man, “I am going to give away a lot of churches, but I shall not give anybody a church unless they will agree to keep it open on week days as well as Sundays. There has been in recent years an increase in the number of Protestant churches kept open through the week, but I would like to see more of them. I imagine that one reason why churches are not more generally kept open is the expense at tending it, and doubtless many persons think that people are all or nearly all too busy to spend time in churches on week days. “It seems to me that the expense should not stand in the way, and I am inclined to think that the number of those who would avail themselves of such opportunity for rest and meditation is greater than is generally supposed. I know that I have never entered a church in New York on a week day without finding somebody there. I should like not only to have more of the churches kept o'pen on week days, but to have them open for a longer period each day, and I would like to keep some of them open all night. It is easy to see that there might be many objections to this; still I would like to see churches whose doors would be always open to every wayfarer.”—New York Sun. The Bee and His Useful Sting. It will be a surprise to many to learn that, after all, the most important func tion of the bee’s sting is not stinging. I have long been convinced that the bees put the finishing touches on their artistic cellwork by the dexterous use of their stings, and during this final finishing stage of the process of honey making the bees inject a minute portion of for mic acid into the honey. This is in reality the poison of their sting. This formic acid gives to honey its peculiar flavor, and also imparts to it its keeping qualities. The sting is really an exquisitely contrived little trowel, With which the bee finishes off and caps the cells when they are filled brimful with honey. While doing this the for mic acid passes from the point of the sting and the beautiful work is finished. —Horticultural Times. Coffee Cure for Horses. The German naturalist, Martin, relates a case he recently met of a horse which owed its life to coffee. It was in such a bad way that it was considered incura ble, and the owner sold the animal for fifteen dollars. The animal was then almost a skeleton and so weak that it could hardly walk. The man who bought the horse imme diately began to treat it with coffee, giv ing infusions of roasted coffee beans, and also coffee beans ground and mixed with honey. In a short time the horse began to improve, and after a few months its new owner was offered $250 for it. He told Herr Martin he had brought round by tho same same treatment many horses which had been overworked or had lost their strength and appetite.— Boston Globe. Sport with Beginners. They do like to have sport with begin ners on the stage. An actor says that one evening v*hen he was playing in Chi cago a young fellow' went to his dressing room an intelligent and ambitious young fellow, too, but awfully freeh and said, “Mr. Burbeck presents his com pliments and asks if yon will kindly send him your box of wrinkles.” The actor kept a grave face and pretended to search among the materials on his makeup table before he replug: “Tell Mr. Burbeck I'm sorry, but I’m all out of wrinkles. HI have some more tomorrow.” The mes senger went away, but was back in a few minutes, just as innocent as ever, and said, “Mr. Burbeck saysit’sall right, but he would like to borrow the key of the curtain."—New York Recorder. Tilto cures Ehevguatisin. hundreds of suffer ere ers'acurd every week. O Turn My Pi! Our curate, who lived five miles away, rode over for our dreary service on the Sunday, dined, and we saw him no more during the week. He was much occu pied in the pursuit of the fox, which, it is charitable to suppose, ho mistook for a wolf, and, like a good shepherd, was anxious to destroy. The service was literally a duet be tween the parson and the clerk, except when old John Manners, the bricklayer, gave the keynote for the hymn from his bassoon, a sound which might have been uttered by an elephant in distress, and we sang: O tarn iny pi—O turn my pi—O tarn my pious soul to Thee. Or when the curate suddenly emerged from his surplice, which he placed on the side of his reading pew, and appear ing in his academic gown went up the three decker to preach. The altar was represented lay a small rickety deal table, with a scanty covering of faded and patched green baize, on which were placed the overcoat, hat and riding whip of the officiating minister, etc.—“Me moirs of Dean Hale.” John Plankin ton's Oration.. A noble type of the man who knows how to do good with his money was John Plankinton, of Milwaukee. Mr. Plankinton's charitable deeds began in early life, from the very generosity of his nature, and were continued uninterrupt edly. What he has done is best attested by the fellow citizens of the gTeat pork packer who had shared his public munifi cence and were thoroughly cognizant of his many private charities. In illustra tion of the esteem and love in which he was held it is related that when Presi dent Cleveland visited Milwaukee in 1887, the applause which greeted him as his carriage drove along the streets was as nothing to the ovation given John Plankinton, who rode in the procession. When, a year or two later, Mr. Plank mron s Doay was oorne to tne cemetery, all the houses along the line of the fu neral march were draped in mourning and expressions of personal sorrow were heard on every hand. It was a tribute to a rich man who 6pent his money wise ly and who knew what was beautiful in a life that is worth living.—New York World. Where Allspice Grows. The Island of Jamaica produces about all the allspice that is used. It is known also as pimento, or Jamaica pepper. The tree on which the berries grow is ever green, and the flowers grow in dense clusters. These develop into email green aromatic berries, the size of black pep per. If allowed to ripen they become pulpy and lose some of their pungency. For commercial purposes the berries are gathered when green, carefully dried in the sun, and afterward packed in bags holding 160 to 180 pounds and shipped. Pimento trees grow in many parts of tropical America, but nyvhere do they thrive as in Jamaica. The trees are never planted by man and receive no cultivation worthy of the name. The seeds are dropped by the birds, and the rains and the tropical sun do the* rest. Surplus trees are cut down and become walking sticks and umbrella handles. This spice is more mild and innocent than most other spices.—Baker’s Helper. The Safest Place in a Storm. The safest place in a thunderstorm is said to be under a small tree or building or the open space, the signal of danger being the loud, reverberating thunder claps, which indicate that the lifhtning is not far off, and that the next bolt is liable to strike somewhere in the neigh borhood.—Baltimore Jlerald.

It is also true that until men are born again the call will not be responded to. The practice of extorting usurious in terest is one that ought to be prevented. The difficulty arises when an attempt is made to devise a measure that will pre vent it. If the rate of interest is limited by law the money lender manages to evade the iaw by taking out his interest, or so much of it as is in excess of six percent., in advance. Various expedi ents have been resorted to to defeat the usurer, but hey have not met with mu h success.__ William C. Whitney’s decision not to go into Cleveland's cabinet is undoubt edly wise. Mr. Whitney is looking ahead to the Democratic national con vention of 1896. and he is shrewd enough to see that if he goes into Cleveland’s cabinet he is likely to be mixed up in the coming fight in New York, and incur the hostility of one or the other of the factions. If he can keep aloof from the quarrel, four years hence he may be the harmony candidate of both wings of the party. __ Murphy’s friends are so confident of his triumphant election that some of them are beginning to publicly denounce Cleveland for his recent manifesto, ac cusing him of interfering in matters that, were none of his business. Four Demo cratic county committees have just met and unanimously endorsed Murphy, and apparently the programme is to get these endorsements from every committee in the State, which can probably be done, as they are all under the domination of the Hill-Tammany influence. “Deacon” S. V. White, of Brooklyn is a rare man. In September he failed, with liabilities of $1,750,000. On the last day of December he mailed the last check due his creditors, having paid all of them in full, together with legalin terest. Few men could have retrieved their fortunes in so short a time, and very few men would have felt bound to settle the old scores in full. The “dea con” evidently practices religion as well as professes it. Congressman Harter’s bill providing for the suspension of the purchase Oj silver bullion and the issue of silver cer tificates until an agreement has been made with England, France and Ger many will be likely to precipitate a sil ver discussion in the House and reveal the extent of Mr. Cleveland’s iufluence upon the Democratic members. Cleveland wants the measure to pass, but ilu silver men regard it as a very obnoxiou. bill, and will fight against t to i extent of their ability. No dou the friends of free silver constitute a majority of the Democratic members, but the allurements of patronage may not be without effect upon some of them It looks as if there would be a scrim mage at Topeka when the Kansas legis. lature meets next week. The Republi_ cans have a clear majority of the House but the Popu ists loudly declare that they intend to orgauize it. Their plan is to organize a new ca vassing board, and reverse the canvass in enough districts to give them a majority and then proceed to rganize the House by force. Of course an attempt of that sort wil] be resisted, and there will bo trouble The Populists, however, are people who make a great deal of noise and do a good deal of boasting of what they are going to do, and it is not improbable that when the crisis comes their courage will ooze out. But if their performance comes up to the advance notices a lively row is certain. Governor Flower of New York appears to have felt the need of some backing in his defiance of the protest of the New York Bar Association in the Maynard case, and so Maynard was set to work to get some indorsements in advance. His pastor furnished a most elaborate one, saying that he had known Maynard a great many years, that Maynard was a good Presbyterian and a member of his church, and that he had never heard his legal abilities called in question. Of course this had no bearing upon the specific offence with which Maynard was charged, namely, that he had pur loined an important law paper from the Secretary of State’s office, in order to cheat a man fairly elected out of his seat and thus change the political complexion of the legislature. And yet there is no doubt there are plenty of people who re garded this certificate as a complete vin dication. One of the most important passages in Gov. Cleaves’s message is that which re" lates to what is known as private or special legislation. The evils of this kind of legislation have long been recog nized, and efforts have been made in this and other States, and in Congress to re duce it to the minimum. All legislation of this sort cannot be avoided, but it can be brought into much narrower limits than has yet been done. There are two great objections to this kind of legisla tion. In the first place it occupies a great deal of time and if it is to continue unrestricted either the length of the ses sions must be increased, which can only Kp rl Ann of nf fUn people’s money, or the public business must be hurriedly, and therefore un sat. sfaetofily transacted. In the second place this kind of legislation is very liable to subject the legislator to power ful temptation. It is the kind that as sembles the lobby and gives rise to the fights that are prolific of corruption and scandal, DE LESSEPS AT HOME. His Wife and Children shield Him From News. [Paris Letter to tlie San Francisco Argonaut.] The distance from the railway station to the Chateau de la Chesuaye—where the “Grand Francais” lives whose name is in all mouths today, by reason of the great Panama scandal—is about four and a half miles, over which we drove a few days ago in a dense November fog. The chateau, where the De Lesseps family has spent its summers and autumns for the last twenty-five years, is situated in a fiat, open country three miles from the little hamlet of Natau. As we left the village I discerned through the fog, standing out between the buildings of the large farm attached to the chateau and the woods of the adjoining park, the two slender towers of the antique residence of Agnes Sorel. SI. de Lesseps, as his young family in creased, added new buildings to the for mer old historical chateau, and thus transformed it, little by little, into a vast phalanstery, where his thirteen children —the eldest of whom is fifty-two and the youngest seven years of age—and a num ber of friends, for he is most hospitable and always has his house full, have passed happy seasons until these last few dire weeks. Contrary to what Ovid’s proverb says, his friends have not de serted him in his misfortune, and when we reached the chateau it was to find about twenty there who had lately ar rived to offer their assistance and sym pathy. x huv nave vioitcu x auo omci/ some five or six years ago will remember having seen the merry procession of children and small ponies scampering out to the Bois de Boulogne at break neck speed, accompanied by their father, the Comte de Lesseps, who was then a capital horseman, in spite of his years. Of his remaining eleven children seven are at home studying with two govern esses and a tutor. Of his three eldest sons by his second marriage, one is at Paris preparing to enter the military school of Saint Cyr, the second, Ismail, has enlisted in the crack regiment of the Fourth Chasseurs and is at Saint Ger main, and the eldest, Mathieu de Les seps, is an officer in the regiment of Sen galese Spahis, and is at present with the army fighting in Africa. This last fact adds much to the anxieties of the Com tesse de Lesseps, to whom the events of the last two years, and especially of the last two weeks, have been so distressing, but whose courage iu all her trials is most admirable. Besides being the great moral support of the family in these sad days she is the Lady Bountiful of the adjacent country, the Chateau de la Chesnays being the place of rendez vous for all the poor peasants in the neighborhood, who are never sent empty handed away. The state of her illustri ous husband’s health has cast upon her shoulders all the heavy responsibilities and cares of her large family. For three years past the eld man's health has been gradually failing. The Panama disaster has completely broken him down. Public opinion is, even at present, almost unanimous in the belief that M. de Lesseps was ignorant of the errors of this lamentable affair. But he felt from the very beginning of the catas trophe that he—and he alone—would be held responsible for them by an ill-in formed public, and his courage, which had never failed during all the trials of the last thirty years, was completely shipwrecked by the Panama affair. On asking, when we arrived how M. de Lesseps was, we were told that, having caught cold, he had been obliged for some days past to keep h's room, and that his doctor, who had come out from Paris the day before to see him, had for bidden liim to continue the promenades lie had been in the habit of taking in the park, sometimes on foot but oftener in a bath chair, and therefore it is needless to say he will bo unable to appear in court tomorrow to answer to the grave charge of gigantic swindling which is brought against him. About 12 o'clock, while we were wait- iug for the breakfast bell to ring, the Comtesse de Lesseps to k us to sec her husband. His physiognomy is but little changed; his large black eyes still retain the intensity of their look and a rare ex pression of vivacity; his smiie is still youthful and as charming as it was wont to be. His first movement was to hold out his hand to his visitors, aud his first words: “You will stay to breakfast with us, will you not?” He now spends the greater part of his day in reaping. His conversation lapses frequently into long silences, as is often the ease with old people. He talks but little; his deafness, which has lately much increased, prevents him from join ing in general conversation. He does not know that his son Mathieu is in Africa. He thinks he has only been ordered to Marseilles. But his family’s greatest care is to keep concealed from him the last terrible news from Paris, and he does not know that ho lias been summoned to appear in court. The Comtesse de Lesseps, though full of sorrow, looks hopefully on the com ing law suit as the sole solution to de liver her from an anxiety that has be come intolerable. “I am,” she said to us, “somewhat of a fatalist, as my husband has always been. In the most trying days of his life he always believed in ultimate suc cess; he always awaited calmly the end of events. I, also, am a philosopher of the same eastern school. From the very first i believed this law suit inevitable. But I have no fear about it except for the effect the accusation would have on him should it come to his ears. There is a final truth and justice in ail things, and this law suit will prove it. I am 6ure of one thing, and that is of the abso lute integrity and honor of my dear hus band and of his sons. Errors may have been committed, false hopes fostered and listened to, but a dishonest act commit ted with their knowledge, never!’ And after she had spoken thus from her heart, when breakfast was over the n.VnlHrpn nnrl thn asspimhlprl ernoaf-c cra.tli ered round the old man. They placed him gently in an arm chair in a boudoir adjoining the great drawingroom, where, in a large, tarnished gilt frame, the faded portrait of Agnes Sorel, the for mer chatelaine, smiled down upon us. One of the old man’s elder daughters went to the piana and playing softly a slow waltz lulled her father to sleep. The younger children went off to play in the park, and gathered around the fire place, we talked in low voices, every one having but one thought: “If only we can keep lilm ignorant; If only he does not see the papers.” And thus sheltered behind a rampart of affection, whose sole aim is endeavor to shield him from tile terribly imminent sorrow, the “Grand Francais” continued to sleep, smiling the peaceful smile of a child. It was a touching sight to see this devoted wife and these loving children united in one thought—to keep him from further suf fering. For three years they have done this, and he is ignorant today o all that has lately transpired to attack his honor. State of Ohio, City of Toledo Lucas County Frank J.

THe Ragpicker's Surprise. “Here’s a big bit, and good, too, if j 'twarn’t so muddy.” i ’Tni7**anctified in heaven by such a kiss. —Erio Mackay. Uli Old Abner Marsden moved uneasily In his big armchair. “Seems to mo Luce is a mighty long time getting that water,” he muttered as he rose and hobbled to the end of the cottage porch. B e put aside the vines t hat screened the view and looked down toward the lower end of the garden, where a cool spring gurgled up from the earth. “Well, if she ain’t talkin agin with that pauper, Ang Howland,” growled the old man. “Luce! Say, Luce, I want you!” he called. “I’ll be there in a minute, father," called back a comely girl of eighteen, who stood near the spring chatting with a plainly dressed youth of about the same age. She reached for the pail of water which Angus Howland still held in his hand and said, with a smile: “I must ero. Aug. Father wants me.” “It seems to me, Luce,” said Angus as he gave her the pail, “that your father always wants you when he sees me around. He hates me for some rea son, but if it’s all right with you I can stand it.” Lucia looked troubled as she said, “Gfoodby, Ang,” and turned toward the house. Old Marsden was an extremely illiter ate man, but in business ventures he had always been successful, and now, though a confirmed invalid, his head was full of schemes and devices, and he used to sit for hours at a time planning measures by which his hoard of wealth might be increased. Lucia took after her mother, who had been “a powerful good woman,” so people said. “Luce,” said the old man as she ap peared at the door, “I want this to be the last of your talking with that good for nothing lout, Ang Howjand. The idea of a likely girl like you talking friendly with such trash! I won’t have it, and if he don't steer clear I’ll give him something to remember me by,” and the old man shook his cane vigor ously. “I do not see why you. should disliko him so,” said Lucia. “He has had a hard time getting along, but that isn’t his fault.” “His father was cut out to die in the poorhouge,” yelled the old man, “and why didn’t he die there?’ i “Because,” Lucie answered, “Ang worked hard and took care of the old folks.” Her father scowled. “Old Howland was intended for the poorhouse, and no good comes of fightin Providence. He died without a cent, and so will the young feller. But that ain’t the point; there are plenty of fellers ’round here that has money, hut there ain't many sech gals as you he, I reckon. Why, Luce, you have the choice of the town, and it’s your solemn duty not to be rash.” The miserly features of the «3d man relaxed somewhat as he admired his daughter’s comely face. He experienced a kind of fatherly affection for her, and was even willing to spend money freely l-ixuu 01*0 -*n 1 *"*iw*'* o-X'X-~ Whenever he saw her dressed in some new article of apparel he would mutter to himself, “It’s all right; it will all come hack; 1 know a good investment, for I have made a good many—yes, a good many.” A few evenings after the event above mentioned Lucia was walking in the garden when she heard some one tap lightly at the gate, and in the moonlight saw Angus Howland. “He wants to see me,” she thought as she hurried through the lilacs to the garden path. “Father will miss me if I tm gone long,” said Lucia on approaching, “but we can visit for a minute.” “Luce,” said Angus, “I have come to say goodby. Your father says for me to keep away from yon because I am poor and he doesn’t want you to marry a pauper. Well, I am going away for five years, and when I come hack I’ll be rich—rich enough to suit your father,” he exclaimed excitedly, striking the fence a heavy blow with his fist. “I dcjn't care about yoti being so rich,” said Lucia. “I’ll like you just as well if you are poor, but don’t stay away so long,” find she looked beseechingly into his iai£. “You may have bad luck, you know', and not earn very much money after s,U, hut I’ll think just as much of you. Are you going far?’ she asked, looking down at the ground. “To California,” said Angus, “and 1 know just what I shall do when I get there too. Father often told me of a valley in California where all sorts of fruit will grow almost without cultiva tion. Father wandered down there when he was out among the mines, and being' used to a fruit country be knew just what a wonderful place it was. He'd have gone there himself if his sick ness hadn’t come on, but he told me about it time and again, and he gave me this little map,” and Howland took an old torn paper from his pocket, and care fully opening it pointed out by the bright moonlight which broke through the trees the cldorado of his hopes and ambition. “That valley is mine,” said he, “and I am going there and plant trees.” •■Luce!” cailea i.id Marsden from the house, “where be you?” Here I am, father.” Lucia replied. Well, it seerns to me that you are mighty long time gone,” cried the old man, “but come to the house, for young Hinton is here and wants to see you.” Lucia saw the troubled look that came into Howland’s face and hastily mur mured: “Father wants me to marry him, but I won't; I’ll marry you. Be sure and write often and don’t stay so long,” she pleaded as she raised her face for a farewell kiss. The next morning old Marsden said to his daughter with an inquisitive look, “Young Hinton didn’t stay long last night, did he?” “No,” answered Lucia, “not very long.” “Did he ask yon to have him?” added the old man. “Yes, father, he did,” answered Lu cia, “but I told him I couldn’t.” “Told him ye couldn’t,” screamed the old man. “Why couldn’t ye?” “Because I don’t love him,” said the daughter, looking her father steadily iD the eye. “Love him, Luce! I tell ye people don’t marry for love. They marry to make a good thing. When they get the worst of it it’s like any other bad bar gain; but young Hinton has money and, Luce, you’d better change your mind and send him word that you like him well enough. I’ll give you a good start, and you’ll find out that you have a pretty good old dad after all.” Lucia kissed her father, hut replied: “Not him. I can never marry him.” The years crept slowly by and brought their usual round of bright and cloudy days. Lucia had grown taller and more beautiful. Her father was still as grasping as ever. “I agree with you, Luce,” he used to say, “there’s no special hurry; but you drop them almost too quick sometimes, it seems to me.” One day he hobbled into the room where Lucia sat at work and said in a severe, low tone: “I hear that you get letters from that Ang Howland. Is it true?” l nave receiveu leneis irurn mui, Lucia implied, “and he is doing very well, I understand.” “I don’t care how he is doing. That feller’ll die poor,” growled the old man. He went outside and sat down on the garden bench. “I’ll see Cicely,” said he, with a crafty look on his face. Cicely was the girl who sorted and dealt out the mail at the village postoffice. Not long after this Lucia ceased receiv ing letters with a California postmark. Time passed and it was now nearly ten years since Lucia and Angus had stood at the garden gate and said good by. Old Marsden had fallen into a state of despondency so utterly abject that Lucia was sometimes on the point of yielding to his wishes, but she thought, “I’ll wait awhile longer; something has happened or he’d never have broken his word.” One day her father called her to him He was unable to get about the house now, but lay propped up iu his chair all day with his eyes closed, a very unhappy old man. “Luce,” said ha, “I’ll make short work of it. The last investment I made I staked all and I lost. It was the first time, Luce, and your father has had many a bargain in his day, but this time has outdone them all. In a month from now we won’t have a house to cover our heads. I hoped this sickness might hurry me off, but I see it’s going to give me time, and I’ll have to go to the poor house, Luce, unless,” and the old man looked at her pitifully, “unless you save your old dad.” “I’ll work for you!” cried Lucia. “You shall never go to the poorhouse.” And she was more tender in the care of her father after that. One day as she stood near her favorite bed of flowers sadly thinking how soon she would have to leave them, a voice broke the silence of her meditations: “I beg your pardon, but your flowers loc’r very pretty and I had to stop to ad mire them,” and looking up Lucia saw a tall, well cressad gentleman standing at the garden gate. “I raise a great mauy flowers myself,” said the gentle man, “and I always take an interest in them, but I live in a flower country where they grow much more luxuriant ly than here.” Lucia gave a startled look—but no, bow foolish; it couldn’t be he. Angus Howard could never have developed inte such a handsome man. “I declare, Luce, you don’t knnw me,” said the gentleman with a smile. “Oh, Ang! I know you now, for you speak with your old voice, but you have been away a long time.” “You stopped writing, and I read in a California paper that you were mar ried,” said Angus; “but recently I learned that it was a false report, and I am here once more to ask you to bo mine.” “Father, this gentleman wishes to see you,” said Lucia, as she ushered How land into her father’s room. The old man opened his eyes and murmured. “Well, have a chair.” “I understand that you have suffered a misfortune,” said the gentleman kindly. The old man groaned. “I’ll have to die in the poorbouse; there’s no help for it.” “It may not be so bad as that,” said the gentleman. The old man turned on him fiercely. “What do you want with me. I’d like to know? Ain’t it had enough to be mined, but a lot of vultures have got to come and hover around me before I'm dead?” “I have been investigating the mat ter,” said the gentleman, “and I an; sure that it is not so bad as you think, and here is evidence that you will not be turned out wf your home at any rate,” and he opened before the old man’s eyes the canceled mortgage. “The place is yours,” said the gentleman, “and all your other property is safe, for I have been making investigations.” “Who are you,” cried old Marsden, “that comes at such a time and saves me from the poorhouse?” “It is not so bad as that, said the gentleman, smiling, “but my name is Angus Howland.” The remaining few months of the old man’s life worked a great change in his character. day when the autumn leaves were turning he called his chil* j dren to him. “Goodbv,” said he. “I am going. You are a good boy, Ang, and will make her happy,” and he closed his eyes forever.—Chicago Newu. The 1 iaii.v 1'itF.ss will be sent to any ad dress for DO cents a mourn. I THE CREAMERY MAN’S NEW YEAR, j Virtuous Resolutions That Pay the Man Who Makes Them. At the beginning of a new year the conscientious %reamery man will stop to take a retrospect of the last year to see where he has been derelict in his ways of doing business, and where better and more improved methods should and could be substituted. To such the following list of resolves will probably be a welcome help. It is by no means an exhaustive one, but can easily be extended where occasion re quires: To do away with all haphazard and hit or fniss ways of buying cream or milk, buy only by the te6t, and thus re duce this part of the business to a just and equitable basis. To provide a good supply of ice, or rather an oversupply, so the butter maker need not scrimp himself in the use of it next summer. An oversupply of ice won’t cost as much now as an over supply of summer heat will next summer. To insist upon the use of ice by the patron, and to encourage by every means possible a more intelligent handling of milk and cream. To reject all milk and cream that is unfit for making first class butter. To encourage the breeding of a higher grade of dairy cattle and the intelligent feeding and care of same by offering premiums for the highest average month ly tests. To disseminate good dairy literature among the patrons, and thus help ad vance dairy knowledge among them. To engage only such cream gatherers as have sufficient dairy knowledge to act the instructor to the patron where necessary. AW .UUJ.UV U^IWU U f V* J Y J -w some dairy or creamery paper. To urge the butted maker to join the association. To make only first class butter. In short, to conduct the business according to sound business principles.—John F. Nieman in Creamery Journal. SOUTHERN CREAMERIES. Dairy Prospects In the Mild Climate of the South. The development of the great re sources for dairy enterprise in the south deserves careful attention for one rea son among others—that the mild winters afford the best opportunities for butter and cheese making, when all the north ern dairies are in enforced idleness or working under disadvantages on ac count of the cold weather. There are creameries now at work in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and North Carolina, and there is no good reason why this should not be the case even in Florida. Butter made in the winter might be shipped to northern markets and to foreign countries, where the prices paid are enormous. This foreign business is now in the hands of the Danes and French, and those countries do not possess the con veniences that are found in the southern states. The feeding is so cheap that butter may be made for ten cents a pound, and the profit from the manure that would be made, and which is so much needed, would easily be equal to half as much. The conditions of the season are reversed in the south, for the mild winter affords equal advantages for butter making that are enjoyed in the summers of the north, with a large preponderance in favor of the 6onth. Dairying would cheapen the cotton prod uct, for it would fit the soil well for this crop and would supply the best manure for it. In the southern mountains the busi ness may be carried on every day in the year, and the fine grasses there grown, with the cheap pasture in the cool sum mers in the shady woods, where a vari ety of grasses and edible weeds and the IlUIUOrUUB UUUl bpilllgo eULUiU. 1-I1C uucot facilities for summer dairying in the whole country. Butter of the -finest quality may be there made for less cost than elsewhere in the world.—American Agriculturist._ Against Jersey Inbreeding. Eurotas was the result of an outcross. Her owner generally bred her and her descendants together without good re sults in that way, but other people bred her sons upon imported and other cows that were no kin to her, and the result of that course has been the large num ber of tested granddaughters of Eurotas. I bought at public and private sales several granddaughters of Eurotas, in bred, and never could make a good cow out of one of them, but I never, out of eight of her granddaughters which were outcrossed, failed but in one instance to make a tested cow, although I bought them all as calves before they were de veloped. Tennessee people have been very suc cessful breeders of Jerseys, and they have from the start adopted the simple plan of breeding the good individuals of different approved families together and never inbreeding closely.—New Dairy. Slaking Butter Como In Winter. Nine times out of ten the reason the thurn does not churn in winter is be cause the cows have been in milk a long time and give a milk which is some what viscous. Owing to this viscosity or stickiness it would seem that the fat globules are not able to clear themselves and cohere to form the larger butter globules. The best way to remedy this difficulty is to have part of the cows fresh in the fall, in which case the difficulty usually disappears. If mill: is set in deep cans, pour in one-fifth of the bulk of warm water at time of setting; perhaps this will even help in the shallow pan setting. Since the cream from shallow pan setting is very thick, try diluting it with water, and also use a little salt at churning time.—Professor Henry.

But if a man hasn’t plenty of good, common sense the more science he has the worse for the patient.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. ODDS AND ENDS.

The new Lord Tennyson, named after the poet’s beloved friend, Arthur Hal lam, whose death inspired the beautiful poem, “In Memoriam,” is not unlike his father in personal appearance, but does not at all resemble him in mental power or literary tastes. Of late years the Hon. Hallam Tennyson hardly ever left his father’s side. Lord Tennyson could not bear him out of his sight, especially since he lost his second son, Lionel, in so sad and sudden manner when the latter was crossing the Bed sea on his way home from India. In all his tastes Hallam (Lord) Tenny son is a thorough English gentleman of the old fashioned conservative sort. De voted though he is to his father’s works —even when a child he could recite long passages of “In Memoriam”—he has no liking for any other poetry. He has a good business head, and made all the ar rangements with Mr. Augustin Daly anent the production of the late Lord Tennyson’s last play, “The Foresters.” It is announced that Hallam (Lord) Tennyson is going to undertake to write the life of his illustrious father.

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT. Tbe following decisions have been received from tbe law court: ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY. Jane P. Goulding vs. Charles Horbury. Jieacript by Chief Justice Peters—The Court adheres to the rule that has dominated its form er decisions requiring that, to constitute a valid gift cuuaa mortis, there shall be clear and con clusive evidence, not only of an intention to give, but of an actual gift consummated by as perfect a delivery as tlie nature of the property given will admit of. Iu illustration of such rule, the Court holds that a delivery of the key or a small trunk con taining money and bonds does not alone amount, to a delivery of the contents of the trunk, al though the donor de igned that such a delivery should be effected thereby. When a gift causa mortis is claimed, the ju dicial confidence is strengthened by proof that She intention to give existed for a long period before the act of giving, aud especially so it such intention is proved by wilting under the donor’s own liana. An old and illiterate man with no other fami ly than an illegitimate daughter 36 years old at the date of his death, h >d bv his letters to her aud iu other ways manifested a strong affection for such daughter, and she was and for 8'one time had been the only occupant in ins house with him when lie died. lie had tor some years made her his principal conudent in his business matters and had frequently intimated In his letters that she would some day receive Ids property or tlie bulk oi it. llis estate con sisted mostly of stocks, bonds and savings bank books, of the value of some fifteen thousand dollars, which he kept in a small portable cupboard in the room where be lived. During his last sickness while expecting death, lie gave her from his pocket two wallets, containing S160 in money, and tlie kev of the cupboard saying that he gave her tlie money and the cupboard and all that Was in it. She thereupon unlocked the cupboard in llis presence, he seeing wliat she did, aud after some hasty handling and examination of the papers, she locked them in the cupboard again, ever after during his sickness keeping the key in her own pocket. Soon after this on the same day she placed some valuables of her ow 1 in the same cupboard. He bad physical strength enough to have got from his bed and taken the articles and passed them to her by his own hand. He died within three d .ys after this act. Held, That the jury were authorized on these facts to find a sufficient actual delivery to con summate the gilt. Where the administrator of a donor wrong fully converts property of the donee to the use or the estate of the donor, upon the belief that the property was not legally given by the donor to the donee, he is personally liable to tbe donee for such conversion. Where neither party to an action appears by the record to be an executor or administrator, nor is made (by tbe order of court) a party as an eir of a deceased party, either party may Motion and exceptions overruled. Fessenden I. Day, executor in equity, vs. Frank Lacasse et als*. Rescript by J udge Foster. —A deed to be de livered hi cscrofv must be delivered to a stran ger, to be by him delivered, upon the happen ing Of s )me Contingency, or upou tlie perform ance of some condition, and the deed becomes effectual as a delivered instrument only upon such second delivery. It cannot be delivered in escrow to the agent or attorney of the grantor, nor to the agent or attorney of the grantee. Where a deed from the grantor and a mort gage from the grantee are made ill pursuance of a verbal contract of sale of real estate, but not delivered, they cannot be used as a inemorau dum within the statute of frauds upon which to enforce specific perfoi mance in equity.

If the parties went there to obtain beer, and as an inducement to arid as a means of obtain ing it, they resorted to a gambling device, and this was allowed by the respondent, then he would be guilty. a Whether the place was one resorted to for the purpose of gambling was for the Jury to deter mine.

A large saving on a MANY YEARS A RESIDENT* Mr*. Jaue Thurston’* Family is One of th© Oldest in Portland.—A Fife of Many Yi_ cisBftude*. Every one in Portland has a smile and a pleasant word for Mrs. Jane P. Thurs ton, who may fairly claim to have at tained the dignified rank of the order of oldest inhabitants. For several genera tions she and her family have been resi dents of Portland. In a house on the corner of King (now India) and Fore streets Mrs. Thurston's father, Moses Plummer, Jr., was born on Jan. 3, 1772. In the same house on Aug. loth, 1814, Mrs. Thurston was born, the eleventh of twelve children. Her father was an officer of the War of 1812, and one of her brothers was a graduate of West Point, and served as an officer in the Seminole War and the Mexican War, dying during service on the Rio Grande in 1831. She claims with justifiable pride that few can claim connection with a more pa triotic family. Mrs. Thurston in her youth was mar ried to Capt. Henry Thurston, who at the age of 19 years commanded a vessel, and who, during the Mexican War, com manded the brig Henrietta, a vessel actively engaged in carrying supplie Mrs. Thurston often accompanied her husband on his voyages, and few women in Portland have seen more of foreign lands or peoples than she. It was while accompanying her husband on a voyage to Marseilles in 1859 that Mrs. Thurston experienced her first great trouble. While in port her husband was stricken with a disease resembling congestion of the brain. The American consul told Mrs. Thurston that her husband might be able to remain w ith his ship for the return, but that she would have to be be his assistant (and might even have to act for him. The worst forebodings of the consul proved true. Ten days out of Marseilles Capt. Thurston was paralyzed completely. To make the situation still more desperate for his wife a heavy gale sprang up at the time when his illness was at its worst. Her little boy, aged two years, had died in Marseilles, and she had with her on the ship her two little girls, aged about eight and eleven respectively. Mrs. Thurston often speaks of the fearful troubles of that time, which she was able to endure only through her firm reliance on divine prov idence. The ship lived through the gal", and afterjthe exercise of much executive skill on Mrs. Thurston’s part, it was brought safely into port. Capt. Thnrston died Feb. 9th, 1S60. For thirty-two years he had sailed from this port as a ship master. Trouble followed Mrs. Thurston for severa’ years. Her second daughter died in 1880, and the oldest in 1ST0. Mrs. Thurston lives in her ow n house at jno. 40 Tyng street, which she has occupied for forty-six years. Her gar den has many pear and cherry trees, and as Mrs. Thurston has a very liberal disposition, this garden is a favorite spot for the boys of the neighborhood, when the fruit i ripe. Steamer Notes. The Allan people here disclaim any in tention of discourtesy in the hoisting of the Canadian flag at the fore on the Parisian when she sailed Thursday. The quartermaster made a mistake in pick ing out the Canadian instead of the American. The flags are rolled up, and do not spread to the breeze until hoisted. The Sardinian is expected on Monday. She will bring a full cargo. The Alcides will probably sail tomor row. Her cargo will consist largely of grain. There a e also about 200 tons of liay. This is the first winter that hay has ever been exported by the steamers Bailing from this port. This hay comes from Canada and goes to Glasgow. The Ferry Slip. Mr. N. K. Dyer, for the Portland Ship building Company, has begun work on the ferry slip at South Portland. A paper has been served on the selectmen on behalf of the insurance companies that (insured the old drop, calling on them to say why the town should not settle for $2,750, the amount of damage awarded the insurance companies’ ap praisers. The selectmen have refused to participate in this appraisal and de mand $3000. A law suit is not unlikely. The Steam Packet Company’s New Boat. With regard to the report that the Portland Steam Packet Company was about to add a new boat to its line, a sister boat to the Portland, Mr. Coyle said to the Press reporter yesterday that while it was true that such a boat had been talked of, no formal steps had been taken towards procuring one. The building of a new boat is something that will come in the future; but not yet. All the news, local, state and general in the Press. 50 cents a month. MUSIC AND DRAMA. Fra Diavolo. The first performance of that ever young and ever charming opera of Fra Diav olo by the Home Opera Company, was given at City Hall last evening be fore an audience that occupied about two-thirds of the seats in the house. It was a performance that was highly cred itable as far as the acting was concerned although, with one exception, all the members in the cast were amateurs. As for the singing, it goes for the saying that it was far superior to that of most well known light opera companies be cause all the principals are well known singers.

Mr. Horne made a pleas ing Diavolo and sang “The stars are shining brightly” with exquisite voice and method in the second act. Of course he had to repeat it. Mr. Welch received the same compliment for his glorious rendering of “Let All Obey.” Miss Morrison’s rich contralto had admirable field for expression in Lady Allcash’s music, Messrs. Welch and Teel made lots of fun as the two bandits, Miss Hov ey was pleasing as Anita, and Mr. Water house as Lorenzo, Mr. Noyes as Matteo, and Mr. Dennis as the Sergeant were all good. Mr. Montgomery, under whose efficient drill and instruction the opera was given, was of course perfectly at homo as Lord Allcash, and by liis excel lent acting and by-play kept everything moving.

The mountings of the piece by the Atkinson House Fur nishing Company, and the costumes by Owen, Moore A Co. were very rich and attractive. This afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock, the matinee will be given. Tonight, at S, the last evening performance. The Black Hussar. The Black Hussar has always proved a favorite in the Baker Opera Co. reper toire, and last evening it was given with all the dash and abandon that is neces sary to make a comic opera effective. Misses Murphy, Dickenson, Iutropidi, Messrs. Armand, Wolff, Morley, and the rest of the principals were in fine voice and gave their interpolated songs, as well as the music of the opera, in excel lent manner. The chorusses and ensem bles were full of fire and vigor. The piece as usual was handsomely staged. The great feature was the combined Baker and Grimmer orchestras, which delighted the audience, aud aided so ma teri illy in the effects. This afternoon that charming and pop lar opera, “The Bohemian Girl,” will be presented, and in the evening the season will close with “Erminie.” On both of these occasions the Grimmer orchestra will reinforce the Baker orchestra, aud the music loving public cannot afford to miss the opportunities given them to enjoy two excellent entertainments. “Slie Conldu't Marry Three.” New York Herald, July 13. The small boy who, when asked his age, replied that, judged by the fun he had had, he was 100 years old, pretty ac curately described the feeling of the large audience at the Academy last night Lillian Kennedy made a decided hit, and the amusement that was crowded into three hours to unravel “She Couldn’t Marry Three” was enough for two nights: and all the roles essayed by Miss Kennedy and the strong support, was equally charming and successful. The company is far above the average, and is sure of big business. The Runaway Wife. Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day at Portland Theatre the young emo tional actress, Miss Louise Aydelle. will be seen in McKee Rankin’s play, “The Runaway Wife. She will be supported by Mr. E. P. Sullivan and a strong com pany, and a great feature of the per formances will be the French dancer, Mile. Bebe Riel. Notes. Now is the time to get seats for Pader ewski at Stockbridge’s.

A Corn Case. S. S. Sleeper et al., plaintiffs in error, vs. W. R. Wood et al., defendants in er ror, was called in the United States Court of Appeals in Bostou, Thursday. This is an action of tort for alleged breach of wari’anty of 4000 dozen cans of corn, which defeudants represented as “best packing of 1888 corn.” The Cii cuit Court ruled that those words did not import a warranty, and found for the defendants. A motion was made by the defendants to have the case certified to the Circuit Court for the purpose of making an amendment to the record. The Court granted the motion. W. B. French appeared for plaintiffs, and J. J. Myers for defendants. United States Mail Box Company. The United States Mail Box Co., was organized Thursday at the office of Benj. G. Ward, and these officers were elected: President—Fred w. Lowe. Treasurer—Henry G, Hardy. Secretary—Geo. H. Kuss. Clerk—Benj. G. Ward DR. R. C- FLOWER. Th© Famous Boston Specialist to visit tills Section Professionally. Dr It. C. Flower, of Boston, of whom more has been said and is being said than any living physician on account of liis marvellous, if not miraculous cures, will visit the following places on the dates given. Penobscot Exchange, Monday, Jan. 10; Lewiston, Me., De Witt House, Tuesday, Jan. 17; Portland, Me., Falmouth Hotel, Wednesday, Jan. 18. The marvelous cures of Dr. Flower seem to have no end. One cannot read the leading papers of the country with out reading at frequent intervals of his miraculous cures and in many instances of the most prominent men and woman in various walks of life. The Philadelphia Times, one of the largest and most prominent journials of this country owned and edited by Col, McClure who 'distinguished himself in the last campaign by challenging Gov. McKinley 'of Ohio, to publicly debate the tariff question, stated in its issue of December 24tli, that after weeks of in vestigation of Dr. R. C. Flower’s prac tice in the South it was free to say that if miracles were ever performed that ho was performing them in a wondrous way. It published numerous instances giving names and addresses of the most promi- j nent men and women in the South brought back from the gates of death and cured of consumption, cancers tumor, paralysis and other diseases when aban doned by the medical skill of the world as incurable. One notable case radically cured which will serve to illustrate, was that of Mrs. Ji D. Clark, of Jonesboro Ga,. a sister of Ex-Gov. Ligon of Alaba ma, and one of the most wealthy and dis tinguished families of the Sou li, a;WOm au who had not walked for i(S years without crutches and braces, suffering UOoiUCS xxox yabiaij 010 vrxuua> uuuuid ciu- vature of the spine and large tumor. But ho more wonderful are these cures than those performed for years by Dr. It. 0. Flower in Boston, and so frequently noted by the press of the East. The infallibility of Dr. Flower to de tect and describe the ailments of a pa tient without the patient telling him any thing, enables liim to intelligently treat the disease without any experimental or guess work. This visit of Dr. R. 0. Flower will ena ble the sick of this section of the coun try to consult him without tho expense and trouble of it long journey to Boston. Keferee Suit. There was a referee case before Judge Bonney yesterday. It was that of Josh ua L. Taylor vs. A. F. Berry, an action of account in order to see what the rights of each of the parties were as they had been partners in business. The claim of Taylor was for $1300. Mr Meaher appeared for Taylor and Mr. J. B. Reed for Berry. MARRIAGES In this ci tv, Jan. 5, by Rev. A. H. Wright Melville W. Gribben and Miss Gertrude S. Ken nedy. both of Portland.

Great Britain has eighty miles of tun nel, their cost exceeding £6,500,000. Faraday produced a spark by separat ing a keeper from a magnet in 1831. With a man more money means more to eat; with a woman more to wear. The output of the cigar factories at Reading, Pa., last year was over 100,000, 000.

Says a pronounced flirt, “The only man who ever forestalled mo in breaking an engagement was the one who professed to love me the most.” The most certain sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness. Her state is like that of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene.—Mon taigne. Uncle aiose’s Possum Prayer. Great consternation, followed by wild laughter, was an innovation of the chapel exercises at the penitentiary not long ago. It was occasioned by a possum prayer from old Mose Allen, a South Carolina negro with one leg, who was dreaming of Thanksgiving day. Chap lain Dudley opened the prayer meeting as usual, and prisoners followed briefly. When all heads were bowed in reverence 01(1 iviotso juiuptju ai luo opportunity u-uu delivered the following prayer: “Dear beloved brodderin and 6ister’n, I t’ank de Lord for permittin me to kum ter chnrch dis yer beautiful Sabbot’ morn. Ye all dunno that beautiful Thanksgiv ing day is near at han. On dat day some folks will eat turkey, some eat chicken, some eat duck, some eat lamb and some eat sheep. But us niggers, we would like dat good old poss. Koch ’im, bring ’im in, take all the ha’r of ’im, put Im out two nights and let ’im fros’. Bring ’im in. Parberl ’im. Stuff ’im like yo’ would a tur key, an has’ ’im. Put ’imin de pan. Put sweeten taters all round dat poss. Put ’im in de stove and shet dat stove doah. Go away t’inking about Booregara, Jeff Davis, Lincoln andJGrant. Let ’im stay in dere awhile. Open dat stove doah. 01’ ’possy all turned brown and de gravy drippin in de pan declar dat poss am cooked. Bring dat poss out’n dat stove, put ’im on de table. Don’t cut ’im while ’e’s ’ot. For Christ’s sake, amen!” Chaplain Dudley stood aghast at the conclusion of the prayer. A moment afterward the chapel re-echoed the wild and wicked shouts of the prisoners. For about five minutes consternation reigned, at the end of which time prayers were resumed, with no further expressions from the colored brethren.—Columbus Cor. Cleveland Leader. Poisons in Toy Candles. The following letter on arsenical poi soning through green candles was con tributed to The Times in March, 1889, by Major Leadbetter, chief constable of Denbighshire: A curious case came under my notice lately which, I think, is of public value. A children’s party and Christmas tree resulted in most of the little people and many of the older ones being seized with symptoms of mineral poisoning. The fact of several who were present who had not partaken of food or liquid of any kind being in the number of those affected directed my attention to the col ored candles on the tree. A UAU. CAAIU1UCU LUO UUUUI/J analyst, Mr. Lowe, of Chester, whose report is to the effect that the green can dles were colored with arsenical green to the extent that every eight candles would contain one grain of arsenious anhydrite. He further reports that the red candles were colored with vermilion. There is no 'doubt, therefore, that we have not further to seek for an explanar tion of the symptoms—a crowded room with the atmosphere charged with ar senical and mercurial fumes sufficiently accounting for it. It is only fair to state that I learn the candles were not of Eng lish manufacture and were bought with the toys. __ Burying: an Empty Coffin. A most extraordinary occurrence is reported from Wrexham. A child in mate of the workhouse died the other day and a coffin was procured, as usual, from the contracting undertaker. In due time this coffin was conveyed from the workhouse to the cemetery and there Interred, a clergyman of the Church of England officiating. Some time after ward the body of the child was discov ered at the workhouse, an empty coffin having been buried. The cemetery au thorities were communicated with, the coffin disinterred, the body of the child placed in it, and it was again consigned to the grave.—London Tit-Bits. Jason and He Found the Golden Fleece. Jay Gould was one of several promi nent men not known to the public by their real names. His Christian name was really Jason Gould. He dropped the Jason and took up Jay because it was more euphonious. In this manner Grover Cleveland dropped his first name, which was Stephen, and Whitelaw Reid dropped his, which was James.—Kew York World.

The report of the disease occasioned considerable excitement in the town bui Dr. Bailey found it to be congestion of the lungs in a severe form. It was not contagious pleuro-pneumonia which has never gained a foothold in Maine. It looks as though the burglars who made such valuable hauls at Bar Harbor last summer had been arrested at Mil waukee. Wis. A few nays ago Chief of Police Charles K. Clark received a letter from the Pinkerton agency, stating that Frank Bruce and Bill Boyce, with sev eral aliases, two expert cracksmen, were serving a short sentence at Milwaukee for house breaking.

No one enjoys a good joke better than he, and in the course of his long professional career he has had a great many happy experiences. About 24 years ago Mr. Barnabee and “Farmer Allen”—a gentleman well known for many years in Boston and vi cinity and a writer on the Boston Jour nal—were the guests of the Hugh de ray ons Commandery of Melrose in a pilgrim age to Portland, Bangor and Augusta, accompanied by Gilmore’s Band, with Arbuckle, the famous eornetist, for lead er. During the trip, which covered live days, Mr. Allen and Mr. Barnabee fur nished much amusement for the party, each striving to turn the point of a joke against the other. At Augusta, one afternoon at lunch, Barnabee “got the laugh” on Allen in the presenco of the entire commandery and the old gentleman resolved to have re" venge. That evening Mr. Bamabee and the band gave a concert at which the elite of the city were present as guests. Mr. Barnabee closed the concert by sing ing “The Cork Leg.” Farmer Allen, as master of ceremonies pro tern., then went to the stage to make an announcement, prefacing it as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen, doubtless you are ail familiar with the Watts Hymns and will no doubt agree with Dr. Watts when he wrote: Believing, we rejoice To see this cuss removed.” As he ended the quotation, Farmer Allen pointed to Bamabee, and when peace was restored he proceeded with his duties aDd announced the programme of the evening.

There was quite a panic among the smelt fishermen of Stroudwater the oth er evening. On the ice below the tide mill are about 20 of the little wooden box houses- used by the fishermen. On one of the coldest evenings of this week the fishermen were snugly ensconsed in their little houses, with warm fires, pipes lit and lines hanging down through holes in the ice for the benefit of the smelts. It had been so cold that the water next the tide mill, had frozen solid, so that when the miller hoisted his gate the wa ter, instoad of taking its accustomed channel, ran out on top of the ice to a depth of about six inches. The flood was upon the fishermen before they were aware of its cause. At once there was a panic. They left their warm houses and rushed headlong for the bank. Soon, one of them, a genius, hitched a rope to his house and dragged it ashore. In a few minutes, all had adopted the plan, and in a twinkling the smelt village had vanished. When the water subsided they returned. Take the Tress and keep posted on the events of the day. 50 cents a month. Citizens’ Mutual Kelief Society.

Sterling of Peaks Island, who had been arrested by Officer Chute, on the charge of selling lobsters under the legal length, was brought before Judge Gould of the Municipal Court. The case related to seizure of short lobsters by Wardens Cushman and Thompson, mentioned in Friday’s Press. Warden Thompson told the story of seizure as published. Capt. W. E. Condon of a lobster smack,who testified as to the respondent throwing off barrels of lobsters at Boston Maine wharf, testified he told Mr. Chute when he arrested Mr. Sterling, that he wasn’t arresting the right man. Mr. Sterling proved a conclusive alibi. He showed that he was not in the city before Thursday since last Saturday. On Monday and Tuesday he was at his home near Trefetlicn’s landing. He first learned of the trouble Thursday when arrested by the officer. John E. Sterling, a brother of the re spondent also testified that Quincy was at his home at the very time that the occurrence took place near the Boston Maine wharf on Tuesday last. Judge Gould considered an alibi had been established and ordered Mr. Stcr ling discharged.

At last I decided to give him Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as my druggist recommended it. In about two wpeas the Sarsaparilla began to have effect. The sores commenced to heal up; the»flesh began to look more natural and healthy. Then the scales came off and all over bis body new and healthy flesh andskin formed.

Present Incumbents and New Aspirants for the Chance to Represent Their States In the Upper House of Congress—Some of the Candidates. (Copyright, 1893, by American Press Associa tion.] Nine western states are now, just have been or soon will be in the hottest kind of fights over the choice of their repre sentatives in the United States senate. Each state has its own individual prob lem, and each problem has features of great interest peculiarly its own. Many a year has passed since the politician GENERAL BRAGG. J. H. KNIGHT, whose view sweeps the nation has had so many points of vital interest to look after. In two .or three states the party majority is in dispute; in a3 many more the Populists undoubtedly hold the bal-, ance of power, and in thoso where one party is supreme in the legislature there is a beautiful fight of the outs against the ins. Wisconsin is safely Democratic, and so the genial multimillionaire Philetus Sawyer must go. To an outsider it would seem that many Democrats in Wisconsin are anxious that another multimillionaire should succeed him, as they declared early for the present Con gressman John L. Mitchell, of Milwau kee. It is part of the unwritten law of nearly all western states that the sena tors must come from different sections, as those states are so large that diverse local interests become powerful; so when Senator Spooner was turned down two years ago Senator William F. Vilas, of Madison, succeeded him as senator from the west. Senator Sawyer lives at Oshkosh, and 30 the locality argument is strongly urged in favor of the succession of Mr. Mitchell, of Milwaukee. He was born in the city now his home in 1842, made a splendid record in the war and an equally good one in business and in the legislature md is popularly supposed to be worth $20,000,000 or so. Nevertheless the sen timental reasons aye strongly iiifiiytytof the election of General1 Edward Bragg, who in 1884 “loved Cleveland for the en emies he had made,” and whose record the public knows. Another candidate is Colonel J. H. Knight, who seems to be comparatively a new man nationally, but quite the equal of the others at home. Minnesota, on the other hand, is safely Republican, and so the first impression of the country naturally was that Sen at or Cushman Kellogg Davis would suc ceed himself, as his first term was quite honorable to himself and the state. It appears, however, that the eminent fit ness of the man already in is not half

W. MERBIAM. C. K. DAVIS. bo apparent to his rivals and their friends as it is to him and his friends; and so ri val candidacies have been started, the one most talked of being that of Govern or William Merriam. It is far from easy for an outsider like myself to comprehend the twists and turns of Minnesota politics, but as the Re publican state convention last summer declared for Senator Davis’ re-election, as he spoke in every section during the cam paign and to the biggest audiences, and his supposed rivals of today then indorsed the convention’s action, it would cer tainly seem that his re-election is sure. He was born in Jefferson county, N. Y., in 1838; was graduated from the Univer sity of Michigan in 1857; served in the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin infantry dur ing. the war; was in turn legislator, United States district attorney and gov ernor of Minnesota, and entered the United States senate in 1887. North Dakota also has a good working majority of Republicans, and although it was at first taken for granted that Senator Lyman R. Casey would succeed himself, many contestants have started up, and his case is very weak in one im portant respect. Two years ago the Re publicans had an over whelmingmajority in the legislature, and their caucus de rided in favor of Congressman M. N. Johnson for senator, but the minority bolted, and with the aid of the Demo crats elected Senator Casey. Now the friends of Mr. Johnson feel a very natu ral desire to administer a dose of the mine medicine to the friends of Senator llasey. It is whispered about that sev eral Republicans will refuse to go into caucus—enough at any rate to spoil the Republican majority—and so afine array of aspirants has risen. They are so numerous that speculation as to their chances is idle. So far the states treated of have been those in which one or the other of the old parties had a sure thing, but there Sre four in which this is not the ease, and of the four Kansas is the one in which there ia fun from the ground up. There always is fun in Kansas politics, and as to what that state will do next, but one thing is certain, and that is that it will not do what eastern people natu rally expect it to do. Its first United States senator “Johnsonized” and then shot himself, and Kansans have not yet decided which act was the more repre hensible. His colleague was caught red handed in the act of bribery, and his successor “looked into his open grave,” as he has told us, when he voted against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Another successor narrowly escaped ex pulsion for bribery, and still another ran a picturesque career which ended rather suddenly. Oh, they are a picturesque set, those Kansas politicians. A^Lso no one was much surprised when iiivas announced that Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease was to be the next senator. As, by his own con fession, she had slaughtered Senator In galls, it seemed quite appropriate that she should be the colleague of his suc cessor, Senator Peffer. Her candidacy, however, is practically abandoned, and she announces that her main business at Topeka is to see that no Democrat is elected United States senator. If any one is, it will doubtless be Judge John Martin, of Topeka, seeing that is the one Democrat most assured of Populist sup port. To him more than to any other man is due the arrangement by which the Democrats voted for the Weaver electoral ticket, so the fusionists are for him. He is a man of high standing and eminently well qualified for the place. Mr. John W. Breidenthal. chairman of the Populist state central committee, has strong claims on account of the splendid organization and good work which won the victory for the party. He is but forty years old, full of health and energy and a very successful business man, and, strange to say, this is his great weakness, for his chief business for many years has been to lend money on farm mortgage. It is a perfectly legitimate business. Farmers do not complain that he is un usually extortionate, and eastern invest ors approve him; but still that busi ness is not a recommendation in Kansas in the present stress of political weather, and so Jerry Simpson thinks he would just about fill the bill as a compromise candidate. Every reader knows of Jerry by this time, and his chief strength, at latest advices, seems to be that Mrs. Lease is reconciled and supporting him. Another Populist candidate and a very able man is Judge Frank Doster. MRS. LEASE. JUDGE MARTfc. Iu Nebraska the situation is quite as amusing and far more complicated. In Clay county the successful candidates were voted for on three tickets, and the Republicans disputed their election on the ground that “the canvassing board had no right to assume that ‘L. L. John son,, independent;’ ‘L. L. Johnson, Dem ocrat,’ and plain ‘L. L. Johnson’ were one and the same man.” The supreme court overruled that plea, and so Mr. Johnson, by whatever title called, and two others in the same fix hold their seats, which seems to assure a Demo Populist majority on joint ballot. The candidate best known out of Nebraska is the brilliant young congressman, Wil liam Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln, whose extraordinary victory in 1890 and subse quent prominence in the house at Wash ington have given him a national fame. He was born in Salem, Marion county, Ills.. March 19| 1860, graduated fiom Illinois college at Jacksonville in 1881. read law in the office of ex-Senator Ly man Trumbull, located as a lawyer at Lincoln, Neb., in 1887, and never held an elective office till chosen to congress in 1890. The previous Republican ma jority in that district was nearly 6,000, and it is scarcely possible that he can hold it long: so the natural wish of a generous mind, a mind in sympathy with ingenuous and talented youth, is that his future may be made secure by his transfer to the senate. Locally, how ever, these are powerful arguments, es pecially as the majority consists of fifty two Populists to seventeen Democrats. If the former stand upon their numer ical rights, their most likely candidate is Congressman William Arthur McKeig han, now representing the Second dis trict. He was born of Irish parents in New Jersey in 1843, was reared in Ful ton county. Ills., served in the Eleventh Illinois cavalry during the war, removed to Nebraska in 1880 and after serving as county judge was elected to congress in 1890 as an independent. Ocher candi dates are spoken of, including ex-Gov ernor James E. Boyd, but the above men tioned appear to have the lead. Senator Paddock would of course like to succeed himself, and at last accounts the Repub licans did not quite despair of a combi nation to effect it, but speculation is idle, as the legislature acts early in January In Wyoming and Montana the situa tion is peculiar, to say the least, and latest indications are that rival legisla tures will send contesting senators from one or both states. In Montana the lead-, ing Democratic candidate appears to be Hon. Martin Maginnis. of Helena, who represented me tcmwjry in congress foi twelve years. His last known rival is Hon. William A. Clarke, of Butte, whc contested the seat which the senate twc years ago awarded to the present senator, Wilbur L. Sanders. The latter will stand a fair chance of being his own successor if the Republicans win the legislature, and his principal opponent on that 6ide is Hon. Thomas Carter, late chairman of the national Republican committee. In Wydining it is anybody’s fight as yet. J. H. Beadije. RUNS A GREAT RAILROAD. The Career of the President of the Penn sylvania System. The president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company Iras some great ad vantages over the president of the United States. He can hold office as long as he does well; all who vote for him must have big proper ty qualifications. Foreigners vote for him as well as natives, and so far as his power extends it is far more absolute than that of any national presi dent, or indeed of any constitu tional monarch, george b. Roberts. Yet every American knows a great deal about President Harrison, while very few know anything about President George Brooke Roberts. The contrast between his fame and that of his predecessor, Colonel Thomas Scott, is remarkable, and it is doubtful if any other president of the great com pany has been so little known to the public., He lives on the same farm where he was bom Jan. 15,1833. Two hundred years ago a Welsh gentleman left the town of Bala, in Wales, came to America, and in due time located the hamlet of Bala in Montgomery, Pa., and by a very odd conincidence the first railroad train reached Bala, in Wales, on the same day the first one reached Bala, Pa. In the old farmhouse built by the Welshman, Mr. Roberts, his descendant, the presi dent of the great road, was bom, and he still lives on the farm, but in a finer house. He completed a course at the Poly technic institute at Troy, N. Y., by the time he was eighteen, and at once took a job as rodman on the mountain division of the Pennsylvania road, then in?proc ess of construction. His advance in railroading was steady and r&pid from rodman to engineer, and then to agent for locating branch lines, and just elev en years after entering the company’s service he was in the main office in Phil adelphia as advising engineer to the president. In 1869 he was made fourth vice president; June 3, 1874, when Colo nel Scott became president, he made Mr. Roberts first vice president, and the latter succeeded his chief on the former’s death in 1880. Mr. Roberts married early in life and has six children, all living a plain, rural life at Bala, which is now but five miles from Philadelphia, and every morning and evening the president is a passenger on the Schuylkill Valley division of the Pennsylvania to and from his office. His home is that of a plain middle class country gentleman, and all his amuse ments are there with his family. He is not a club man, cares little for the the ater, enjoys himself vastly in his fine library and plays every sort of game with his children. He is a vestryman of the Episcopal church, and seems a quiet country gentleman rather than the con troller of 100,000 men. A Freak at the Fair. The latest freak in the line of doubled humanity comes from Bohemia, and will be exhibited at the Columbian exposition with many other freaks. The Siamese twins were two persons, though vitally connected, and the colored girls known as Christine-Milly were certainly two from the waist up and from the pelvis ROSA-JOSEPHA. downward, but the Bohemian girls known as Bosa-Josepha differ from all others in having but one abdomen, though physically perfect above. They are fifteen years old, the offspring of a peasant couple named Balzek, and are fine featured and delicately built, with black hair and the ordinary Bo hemian cast of countenance. They have been on exhibition at times since the age of six. Of course the separation of such a pair (if pair it may be called) is im possible, and both must die at she same time. Evaporation of Boilers. In calculating the evaporative capaci ty of boilers it is usual to reckon it at so many pounds per square foot of heating surface. But this method is not suffi ciently accurate to determine the max imum evaporation at any given point, since evaporation is not and cannot he uniform throughout a boiler.—Exchange.

Interesting Reminiscences of an Old Wash ingtonian—When Small Presents Were the Rule and Rot. as Row, the Exception. [Special Washington Letter.] “Christinas in the national capita! fifty years ago,” says my venerabk friend Capt. Nicholson, “was very dif ferent from the modern celebrations o1 the holy day. In the first place, peoplf were nearer to each other because they lived farther apart, that is to say, they were nearer and closer in friendship, because their residences were pot glued and plastered together as they are in the crowded city to-day. “When I was a boy,” continued my friend, “Washington was truly a city of mag-nificent distances—like hamlets or neighborhoods located in the vicinity of good water from spring or pump and between them through the wild growth of brush, tree and vine meandered a single wagon track. Even Seventh, F and other leading streets were but sparsely built up. There were less than a dozen churches here in all and they were usually in pairs, like the public schools, each denomination having one in the eastern section and one in the western—St. Peters and St. Matthew’s, Catholic; Qhrist and St. John’s, Epis copal; First and Second Baptist; First and Second Presby'terian; Foundry, Ebenezer (Fourth street) and Wesley, Methodist. The only Lutheran church then was the Concordia. “Nowadays children spread a number of plates, for Santa Claus to fill with candies and other good things. In my young days the hanging up of the ▼ersal, and in many families it was not only the children’s hosiery which on Christmas morning was found filled hanging at the mantel, but the stock ings of our parents kept them com pany. As to what there was put in them: Well, toys were in less variety and less elaborate than now, and for that matter so were cakes and pies, candies, etc. The girl children came in for the dolly and the boy for the wood en horse or tin horn, and in the stock ings were usually placed an apple, some raisins, nuts and candies, with the doll or horse on top. But all did not fare thus, for in the case of those who did not behave well, or who showed an ugly disposition, their stockings would show on Christmas morning a switch, which they were taught had been placed there by ‘Bell Snickle,’ as Santa Claus or Kris Kringle was then called, the children all firmly believing that ‘Bell Snickle’ was a real person, and their parents would take the hint, and the reformation of the youthful de linquent was often accomplished. “But there is an improvement in one custom, which I am glad to note. The people of the modern generation have learned to celebrate Christmas without that insidious intoxicant, egg-nog. When I was a boy every family had a big bowl of egg-nog, and the youngest as well as the oldest partook of the at tractive decoction. In these latter days the temperance advocates have taught the people that they can celebrate Christmas and all other holidays with out beclouding their faculties with alco holic poison. Aside from the egg-nogg habit, our programme for enjoyment was similar to the programme of to day. The night before Christmas, after witnessing the cake and pie baking, the children were sent to bed. Such pies! None of your bought mince meat then. Every family made its own mince meat, and, for that matter, excepting the toys, nuts and raisins, Christmas things were manufactured at home. Early in the morning a merry jingle of the fire bells, with the firing of the old flint-lock guns and pistols and crackers (for we had them then, but in more limited supply), awoke us. As soon as half dressed we had our stockings and were discussing the contents. Then we trorirod mir vouthful stomachs with the biggest and best breakfast of the year; played until noon, and again ate and ate until no more dinner could be stored away. Then we played all the after noon and ate candies until supper time, when we again ate good things until we could hold no more. I would give ten costly brick houses to-day for the appetite of a boy on Christmas day. “Christmas holidays were of twenty four hours’ duration, sometimes thirty six. The government employes were sometimes allowed to leave an hour or two earlier on the 24th and were ex pected back on the 26th. Even on New Year’s day the clerks worked up to noon and then called on the presi dent. So it was with the school chil dren as to holidays. But it was notice able that the most unhealthy day in the year was December 26, for but few teachers could make a respectable show ing. Headaches and pains from over eating kept most of the pupils at home. “The colored oystermen suffered at the hands of the boys in those days, es pecially about Christmas times. Y'ou are doubtless aware of the fact that the police did not amount to much and the poor oolored man, slave or free, could not give testimony against a white per son, little or big. Well, the oyster man about Christmas would cheerfully an swer the call of a crowd of boys, and, thinking they had chipped in their ‘tips’ and ‘levys,’ would measure out a pint or quart as might he called. As each one of the crowd gulped down his two or three mouthfuls he would sud denly remember an errand, or that it was time to be in and run off, and when the cup was empty it would be handed back and the young scapegrace would take to his heels. When, however, the oysterman would chase the hoy and the latter be in danger of being caught the bucket would be attacked and rather than lose all he would give up the chase. If, however, he still con tinued the pursuit some little fellow would overturn the bucket. I upset a bucket, kicked it over once, and when I saw how hard the man took it I was cut, and afterward we never lost a chance of persuading our parents to buy from him. So you see, there were some bad boys in those days, and I was one of them. We were little cowards, too, to impose upon helpless slaves who dared not strike us, and who could not prosecute us. However, according to the customs of the times, I guess we were not worse than the average boys of the present and rising generation. In the days of Raraesis, Joseph, Pharaoh and Confucius, I presume boys were boys, just the same. “This city has changed, in fifty years, more than the customs have changed. When I was a boy there was plenty of fresh air out of doors. To-day. the houses are so close together, the yards are so small, the streets so concreted and glaring that the whole town seems ‘stuffy’ to me. Fifty years ago Pennsyl vania avenue was a dirt road With two rows of poplars in the middle from the capitol to Fifteenth street. There were in this distance two wooden bridges—one the well-known Tiber bridge at Second street, which was replaced by a brick and stone arch a few years before the war, and the other a wooden structure over the run between Ninth and Tenth streets. This run, which had its source at the springs in Franklin square, coursed down between Ninth and Tenth streets and emptied into the canal. It was about 1833 that the ave nue was macademized, and for this work the district is indebted to a num ber of our German families who came here to work and settled down. The avenue was not concreted until 1877. I remember the event very well. The work was pushed along in order to have the smooth surface ready for the parade when President Hayes was in augurated and for the ball given upon me avcuuc tuou uiguu. xi noo a u.o affair, and you may readily understand what an impression it made upon my mind as I gazed with my aged eyes upon the old dirt roa 1 of my boyhood translated into a floor for fairies and brownies’ to sport upon. “I remember a church scene which will illustrate to you something of the kind of religion we had in those days. The Sabbath-school of a church in the upper part of the city had, during the preceding summer, held a picnic not a great distance from the church. It so happened that about noon Johnny K., one of the small boys, started home, and seeing a handsomely bound hymn book lying loose carried it home. When he returned, the owner of the book had been informed that Johnny was seen with the book and he was terribly put out, for besides its value—it being hand somely bound and his name appearing on it in gilt letters—it was prized as a gift. As soon as he saw Johnny he called out: ‘Go straight home and fetch me the book you stole,’and Johnny left. When Johnny informed his mother what had happened she placed the book in her pocket and with Johnny ap peared on the ground. Again the book was demanded, and Aunt Kitty, as she was called, refused to give it up, say ing: ‘You accused my boy of stealing the book, and you will get it when you apologize for it and not before, for my boy is no thief.’ The old gentleman pleaded for its return, but, being a stiff necked Christian, he obstinately re fused to acknowledge his error, and the result was that Aunt Kitty returned to her home with the book. This incident made bad feeling, but finally the old gentleman, under the advice of the pas tor, offered to apologize. This offer the old lady repelled, saying: ‘Ho, sir; the accusation was made in the presence of a crowd, and an apology will only be accepted when made before a crowd equally large.’ “Thus the nlhtter stood until the Sunday-school Christmas entertain ment took place, when the church was filled in every nook and corner. The opening piece had been sung and the old lady having told the owner: ‘How is your chance,” he at once walked out upon the platform, made a little ad dress on the use of hasty words and their evil results, elosinit hv relating the incident and doing what he could to recall the words. Just as he closed the old lady called little Johnny, gave him the book, and he at once ran to the platform and placed it in the hands of the old gentleman. To say that the applause was deafening is drawing it mildly, and for a time the many friends of the parties felt more like rejoicing aloud than quietly sitting in their seats, for it was the end of what seemed at one time to be an irreconcilable quar rel.” Smith D. Fby. Physical fuuuie in Women’s Colleges. The whole answer to the question, Is the health of the average young woman equal to the successful prosecution of the work of a college course? may be given in the briefest terms as follows: The first duty of the college authorities is to give just as careful a physical ex amination for original entrance as their examination into the applicant’s scholar ly proficiency, and their next duty, the applicant having been admitted, is to see that her advancement is symmetrical, and that she is led across the threshold of mature womanhood as well equipped by reason of bodily strength and devel opment as by that of intellectual and moral development for the full enjoy ment of life's pleasures, tasks and vari ous wholesome activities. In the future the question whether or not a young woman’s health is quite safe at college will be absurd upon its face. It will be absurd because one of the definitions of a woman’s college will be: A place where the health of young women is sedulously and scientifically guarded, and where her physical strength and well being are systematically devel oped. Tangible progress toward this ideal has been made within a very few years, but as yet we have only a begin ning.—Review, of Reviawa. TRAVELLING IN A FOG. An Old Bus Driver Tells Some of His Experiences. Driver* in London Street* Have to Be Very Careful During tbe Frequent Reigns of Fog*—Odd Accidents That Occur—The Value of Street Light*. The fog came down on London last week, and in early morning the fog sig nals were exploding on the suburban lines. Talking of the fogs, an old bus driver had an interesting chat with ine the other morning on my way frbm Hammersmith. “These ’ere fogs is dreadful,” he said. “One day I’m thinkin of was a bad un: I couldn’t get the ’osses to go at all, so I turned back at Piccadilly. But that doesn’t pay; for if the company don’t; think—and they mostly don’t think—it's thick enough to stop running the buses and you do stop without any official tell ing you, they’ll make you pay for the half of the journey that you missed. I had to pay for that half journey from Piccadilly." “Have you ever got on the wrong road through the fog?” I asked. “Oh, yes; lots of times. I’ve often turned up a wrong street, but I’ve gen erally found my way again. But one time—about three years ago—I got quite lost. It was going from Hammersmith to Liverpool street. Yon could have cut the fog, it was so thick. We passed Kensington and Knightsbridge all right, and then I got somewhere where I didn’t know; my ‘mate’ fcehind looked abcut a bit, but he could*1! make out where we was, so we went and asked a p’liceman. He was on point duty and told us we was in the park somewhere, but he didn’t know where. But I’ve made plenty of mistakes like that. Why, the first run this morning I nearly went the wrong way. “Now, look here,” he said, pointing to a streePlamp that was glimmering quite close at hand, “those are the things that puzzle you. You think that’s on the pavement and go sharp off to the right to miss it and you find yourself at the wrong side of the road with traffic on all sides of yon and a policeman swearing and waiting to take your number for causing an obstruction. That’s in the middle of the road; it isn't on the pave ment at all. I’ve often wished that big lamp at the corner of Hyde park far enough; it always balks me.” “Are there many accidents in foggy weather?’ “I don’t think there are more than in clear weather, for every one drives care ful—they have to do or they’d soon have a smash. Sometimes, you know, a cab by will pull up sharp and your ‘pole’ will go through the back of his ‘ker ridge;’ hut then them things always hap pens. The ’osses, too, gets frightened when it gets extra thick, and they’ll ‘jib;’ but they’re often not so bad as some of the passengers, who nudge yon and pull you and tell you to ‘please be careful.’ The fog doesn’t hurt the ’osses much; it might give ’em a cold, but it’s us that suffers most. When there’s a frost and a fog together it’s awful. “I’ve often had my ’osses led, but we don’t like any one to touch our animals' heads. It’s like an insult to us. P'lice men are always at that game, because they know we don’t like it. But it’s very bad when they fall down in a fog, for no one can see you and it’s quite likely that another bus will come sailing along right onto you, but in all my experience I’ve only seen one 'oss down in a fog. and he was shot. I’d sooner drive anywhere on a thick night than up to Hammersmith or Bayswater. You have the park all along one side of the road, and you know how dark it is. I think Bayswater is the worst of the two. I once drove a three 'oss metropolitan bus into the middle of a row of hansoms, but it’s surprising what a little damage is sometimes done in a collision.” “But how do you manage to find your way?” “■Why, we grope,” was the significant answer. “I think the best way is to get the left hand wheel of your bus against the curb and ‘let her grind.’ You won’t know what that is. Well, I mean keep ing alongside the pavement. Never mind the wheels; they’ll be all right. On some routes men go about with lan terns to guide you. but that’s too slow work. I once went a journey when the conductor took one of the lamps in Ilia hand and ran along on the pavement to show me how far I was off the curb, but all men haven’t the same disposition, and I’ve had a conductor who wouldn't move off the step to tell me which side of the road I was. Why. sometimes I can’t see the whip I have in my hand, it’s so thick. Some buses have bells, but I don’t; they don’t show you where you are—that’s what you want to know. The fog’s only good to the ‘pirates:’ peo ple can’t seo which bus they’re getting into, and a good many grumble when asked to pay the extra fare. But it doesn’t do them very much good, for some folk are frightened to ride in a fog —they think it’s safer to walk." “Thank you. sir. Good morning.”— Pall Mall Budget. Bobbery in Northern China.

For five minutes the early morning storm had raged, and the cold raiu was making great bubbles where it fell into the gutter. Thus the street had been suddenly abandoned, and down the side of the square in which stood one of the largest shops, the small cab horses, mo tionless and glistening under the shower, looked like the painted animals of a toy box. Nevertheless, the bus which runs from the principal street to the Northern railway station had just turned the cor ner: the two dapple gray horses, giving a good shake to their collars as they trotted through the puddles of water, and like the platoons of a Roman legion sheltered by their shields, the passengers came out from the waiting room and ad vanced to besiege the heavy coach under their rain drenched umbrellas. "dome on. the north!” shouted the conductor, never suspecting the audac ity of his ellipsis. “Only three places left inside; one, two, three; no one an swers; four, five.” “Here, four and five,” said a sweet voice from the depth of the great white cap of a sister of charity. “Tickets.” And after having closed their tre mendously large, old, blue cotton um brellas—such umbrellas are never seen anywhere nowadays except on the coun try roads—the two nuns climbed up into the bus. “One more seat,” called the conductor, “hurry up, six.” And still another woman came out of the crowd and gave her number—a woman of the lower class, with her linen cap. She was twenty-five years old, and was sheltering as well as she could under an old torn sunshade a little hollow eyed, sickly looking boy, whom she carried on her arm and who clung tightly about her neck. "Come now, mamma.” said the con ductor. rustling in his rubber coat, “that urchin is too old. You must buy a ticket for him.” “What, sir.” quickly replied the wo man. seeking to retain her self posses sion. "he is three years and a half.” “And a little more; well, well, it is very bad weather; climb up lively, nuw.” The poor woman, with a shame faced air. took the only vacant seat, near the bus door and opposite the two nuns, placing her little boy on her knees, and then, “Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling-arling,” the full bus went jogging away with an exasperating noise, just like iron bars jolting over the pavements or like cracking glass. Although seated side by side and dressed exactly alike the two sisters of charity did not resemble each other. The elder was perhaps fifty, with the strong physique and ruddy color of a farmer’s wife. As soon as she had given the conductor six great pennies wrapped up in a bit of paper (it was all the money jthat the poor nuns had and the mother 'superior had but just given it to them |as they were setting forth on an errand to the hospital) the stouter sister in a countrified manner put her big basket I on her knees and crossed her hands upon hn.ndla. fihfl was a trnfl. cood. rfili gicras woman, but a woman who must assume the lowliest duties and do the hardest work. Her companion, on the other hand, was still quite young, possibly twenty three or twenty-four years old, and her whole appearance bore the strongest tes timony to her refined and aristocratic origin; in a word, she came of a good family. Only that soul painter, Philippe de Champagne, would have had the necessary genius capable of putting on canvas that pale, distinguished looking face, a face already emaciated and with two light shadows under its great hazel eyes. Worthy of an archduchess were those transparent hands with their taper ing fingers, which the young sister of charity supported upon her old horn handled umbrella. Meanwhile this woman of the lower class—oh, these worthy people, they are like great children, full of confidence and heedlessness; how excited they be come, how badly they are deceived by false and foolish flattery, but then how good hatured they are!—this poor work ing woman suddenly entered into con versation with the conductor, who was a little, lean, gray bearded old soldier, wearing upon his vest the faded ribbon (of the Crimean medal, and who had (found time, while collecting the poor (woman’s fare, to bestow a smile and a I pleasant word or so upon her sickly boy. •‘Yes. it is true enough,” she said; “he has been quite sick, poor little fellow, and I have been to bring him away from the hospital, where he has remained for (the last six weeks. He has still his little papier tnache image, for he went to the Hospital of the Infant Jesus. The old |doctor, who speaks to yon as if you were a dog. but has a good heart all the same, has just this minute said to me, ‘Six 'months of cod liver oil and he will be well.' Is it not so, Popol? His name is i Leopold. And you will not make up a face when you have to take it, will yon? iAnd you will swallow your cod liver oil —you know you promised mother you Would.” Then, quickly altering her tone. Eke said to the conductor in a sympa thetic manner, “You have no children, have you?” "Oh, yes, three,” replied the old sol dier, “but they are much larger than your boy. I have three daughters. My Sldest has been married about a year, and the youngest has just entered upon her apprenticeship.” “Then you know just how it is. When we began to be worried about our boy's health it was at the worst season of the year, in July, when so many young chil j f.ren die. My husband is a bookbinder, j if you please: he makes book covers. He works at home and has customers among the middle class, but during the summer every one goes away either to the coun try or to the seashore. “Oh, yes, you see I know all about it. That was when our boy became sick— the night before the celebration on the 14th. He was first feverish and then he had a chill: then he began to cry and to complain of choking, and his crazy fa ther all the time was entertaining him self by putting up his flags, his little red balloons and his plaster images on our windows: it quite set my teeth on edge. Oh, these men, they must always be thinking of politics: it is their play thing, or whatever you have a mind to call it. “But the next day, I can tell you, he thought no more of his decorations or his illuminations. The doctor came, looked alarmed and put on the poor child’s back a plaster as large as my hand. Pleurisy. Do you understand how a child no older than he is could have such a sickness? We were in straitened circumstances. I am not ashamed to acknowledge it. My hus band went out to try to collect two or three bills, but it was of no use; every one had gone away. And then it almost seemed as if we could not make our boy well again, our dear little fellow. “We live, you see, at 32 Vinaigries street. We have only two rooms, and the bedroom has no window except one that looks out upon a wall. Then the doctor said: ’You must take him to the iiuspitai. i wui give yuu oke in her— Then quite abruptly her father, taking her with him, left for one of his castles in the depths of Auvergne. At last she summoned up her courage and asked for news of her betrothed, and the old duke, purple with rage, had sternly ordered her never to speak again his name before him. She had obeyed, grief stricken, understanding nothing, until one day when by chance she saw a newspaper and then first learned of a horrible duel fought by Lord Cavendale, in which he had killed his man; of the shameful trial, and then tho dates, the frightful dates. After that she remembers a long ill ness and the name of Douglas repeated in her delirium, and the troubled star of the night lamp twinkling faintly out from the midst of clouds of insomnia; then she recalls the heartrending -walks taken during convalescence in autumn on the castle terrace, looking out toward the grand mountain panorama, while the plane trees sadly strewed the ground with their great yellow leaves, and how melancholy she felt while following with her eyes the flight of the clouds chased by the northwest wind, which raged even to the summits. Then she took the great step of her life, and in spite of her father’s grief, in spite of the advice of her uncle, Mgr. de Oardaillan. who came with all pos sible haste from his diocese, she took the veil of a sister of charity, and for six years she ha<f dressed wounds that seemed to her less incurable than that one inflicted' upon her own heart. She had watched with the dying, -whom she almost envied because they could leave this world before herself. But suddenly she remembers that if dead to the world, as she believes herself to be, she still pre serves and yet wears around her neck the little medal, blessed by the pope, which Lord Oavendale had brought back to her on his return from a short visit to Italy. The weakness of a woman who has once been in love! Just at this moment her companion softly touched her arm, hftliAvine' her to be asleen. “Wake up, sister; we have just reached the place.” Mile. Annette de Cardaillan, in her re ligious life Sister St. Ursula, opens her eyes and sees just in front of her that poor woman with her little boy on her knees, who had been the involuntary cause of her dream. Quickly putting her hand to her throat, after some difficulty she succeeded in inserting two of her fingers under the stiff starched calico of her stom acher and drawing out a small gold medal held in place by a fine cord, which she hurriedly snapped. She placed it, yet warm with the heat of her body, in the working woman’s hand, saying: “Won’t you please accept, madame, this remembrance and hang it around your little sick boy’s neck? It is a medal which our good father, the pope, blessed at Rome six years ago.” And disengaging herself from the ex cited mother’s half stammered thanks the sister of charity followed her stout companion, who had already got down from the bus and was walking bravely along through the mud. The conductor had a great desire to say a word or two. but he was an old infantry corporal who had had part of his ear cut off by a Russian bullet at Balaklava and who felt the deepest re spect for women. Besides, the poor mother was looking at the blessed medal with a very serious and moved expres sion. "French and a soldier,” so runs the song, and the conductor contented himself with smiling behind his gray mustache while he muttered to himself, “Oh, these women—these women!”— Translated for Boston Transcript from the French of Francois Coppee. America the Land to Live In. The old question about comparative changes in climate and that “old fash ioned winter” for which aged folks were always looking may be considered set tled. There is no longer a doubt that in all the central section of the United States the summers are much more tem perate and the winters as a rule not so cold as formerly. In truth the very hot nights and the long, long stretches of sultry w’eather, varied with tormenting swarms of Gnats and flies, which were once the rule in the timbered sections of the Ohio valley, are no longer to be looked for. America is a better land to live in than it was, and Europe has im proved a little. Prance has a far more even climate than it had in the time of Julius Caesar, and as late as 360 A. D., so the Emperor Julian records, the Seine was occasion ally bridged by strong and deep ice even at Paris. May is on both continents a cooler month than formerly, and now very hot weather need not be looked for as of course till after the 4th of July. Man, by clearing out forests and drain ing swamps, has greatly modified nature, and nature in turn is modifying man. I.lve Stock Points. No ill natured man should ever under take to raise live stock of any kind. He can’t even become a successful goose breeder. Once in a great while there comes a cow that cannot by any known means be dried off from giving milk. Ordina rily, however, the most persistent milker can be dried up by leaving a little of the milk in her udder at each milking. The philosophy of it is that so long as there is milk ip the udder the glands that se crete the fluid will not be excited to pro iuce more. Giving the cow dry feed lilso tends to lessen the milk flow. The Holstein-Friesian association of America reports that it is not possible to get a sufficient number of cows of that breed to take the tests at the World’s fair next year. The cows are to be kept at the exposition grounds six months, and owners who value their stock at high prices will not take the risks of leaving the animals at the show grounds. The association will, however, after valuable additional premiums for Holstein-Friesians exhibited in the live stock department of the fair. But the favorite Holsteius will undoubtedly lose ground in America by this failure to show. THE MILK CONDENSING INDUSTRY. "Crazy Uncle Gail’s” Idea and What Came of It. About forty years ago Gail Borden, a civil engineer of New England ancestry, conceived the idea that milk could be boiled down in a vacuum till from the liquid condition it became substantially solid, and in that state, preserved by means of another Yankee invention—the sealed tin can—it could be kept for any length of time. Mr. Borden had lived much in the south, particularly in Texas, and he had seen the great need of such an article as his invention would pro duce if his idea was practicable. He began experimenting on this and* other ideas that teemed in his overflowing brain. Eighteen years he experimented with the milk condensing. He made a suc cess of the condensation, but he could not make it a financial success. He spent all the money he got on his new ideas, for there were so many of them. People who .knew him, especially the neighbors, made merry over the milk condensing notion. They would have believed a man could take wings and fly to heaven bodily as easily as he could condense milk and ship it all over the world. The man who would think of suoh a thing was nothing less than off his head. So they called him “crazy Uncle Gail,” these kind neighbors. But Uncle Gail had a son, John G. No man except perhaps Edison is at once inventor and financier. Gail Borden had to wait till his son John was grown before the milk condensing became a financial success. Gail was an inventor, and Providence kindly sent him a son who was a financier, the only trouble being that Uncle Gail had to wait eight een years till the son was old enough to take hold of the financial end of the business. Then it became one of the greatest successes on record. The elder Borden waited patiently and hopefully. At last, when it began to look as if the enterprise would be a go, Uncle Gan said one day, "lr 1 thought the condensery would ever consume as much as 5,000 quarts of milk a day, 1 should be satisfied and happy.” Well, there are now six great Borden milk condensing plants in various parts of the country. Two of them are in Illinois. Not long since 1 visited one of the New York factories. It was not one Df the largest, yet it alone consumes 88,000 quarts of milk a day, manufactur ing daily 10,000 pounds of the finished product. What the whole six factories consume may be calculated from this. The condensed milk goes all over the earth. Peary took it to the north pole with him. Explorers flavor their coffee with it under the equator in Africa. Best of all, “Crazy Uncle Gail” lived to see the enterprise he had set his heart on assume almost its present colossal pro portions; then he rested from his labors with the sweet consciousness that he had helped mankind. Visitors are allowed in every part of the Borden condenseries. The tall and good looking superintendent of the one 1 visited in Wallkill valley, Mr. Smith, himself conducted me through the de partments of the factory and gave me every facility for obtaining information. The milk, with granulated sugar stirred into it, is boiled down in vacuum in great shining copper tanks. I am proud that the invention belongs to America. The first thought of one visiting the eondensery is that no one need ever be afraid to use condensed milk. The factory is absolutely the cleanest place 1 ever saw. The floor of the machine shop where the cans are made is scrub bed every Saturday; ditto the engine room. Gail Borden, of blessed memory, had a sort of craze for cleanliness, a beneficent erase which his son held after him. The firm make their own tin cans at the factory, and you will be surprised to know that girl machinists do the work. They are cleaner and more deft with their fingers than boys would be, and making the little cans requires neat ness and precision. They make excel lent wages, I was told. At various conspicuous places this sign in big letters meets your eye: “No Smok ing. Spitting on Floor Is Prohibited. Read the Other Side.” When you turn it over the other side says exactly the same thing. It requires nearly five pounus oi iniiK 111 me natural state to make one pound of the condensed prod uct. The condensery has its own set of milk farmers, who deliver the year round. They must obey strictly certain rules laid down by the firm. One of these is that no ensilage shall be used. They say they cannot use ensilage milk for making the condensed product. They declare further that feeding cows on en silage through the season is much the same as feeding people on sauerkraut all the year. The superintendent of the factory said he had put his hand into some of what was called prime ensilage. He found it hot and fermenting. If his statement will add any new fury to the ensilage war I shall be glad. I have no cows and no opinion, and am not in the fight. The farmers furnish their own cans. The exquisite cleanliness that pervades the factory must extend also to the farms that supply milk to it. The farm ers are expected to keep the outside of the cans clean, but the inside is cleansed at the factory itself. That is a task the condensers require to be performed un der their own eyes. The milk is strained a second time after it comes to the fac tory, and is likewise passed through an aerating machine. Every can of milk that comes in is inspected separately. The inspector from the condensery vis its constantly the cow stables on the farms to see that they are kept free from filth and odors. The farmers aver age about twenty-five cows apiece. No stagnant water, no dead animals must be allowed on the place. The barnyards must be kept clean. Eliza. Archard Conner. Good Late Keeping Celery. Many gardeners do not know that the dwarf celery, that sells best in the fall, is one of the best keepers until late in the spring, says The American Cultiva tor. Cold and absolute darkness are the requisites for late keeping. Comply with these conditions, and th® celery can be kept until March in just as good con dition as it will be in December, if nr. rot starts among it. If the rot gets in to any great extent, the sooner it is sold the better for the grower. Nine times out of ten the rot is the effect of too sud den a change from cold to warm jweather either out of doors or in the 'celery house, and the other time, if the celery is free from rot when put in, it is the result of careless handling when put in the pit or houses. i Mr. CHARLES KNOX, Oakland, Me., CLAIMS THAT Qqooeii's Syi\up CAN CURE THE OLD, OYSPEPTIC SOLDIER. Gentlemen: I am an old soldier, and I have been troubled with my stomach ever since I came back from the army. My trouble was Headache, Distress after eating, Sour Stomach, Heartburn, Bloating Spells, and Dizziness; unable to sleep nights. Some days I would have a good appetite and would eat heartily; but a few minutes after 1 would wish that I had not eaten anything, it would cause me such distress. Such was life day and night until I used Groder's Botanic Dyspepsia Syrup. You can all see from my photograph and from my state ment that X enjoy good health. I can now work every day, and I recommend this Syrup to everybody, but particularly to my old comrades, as I know that thousands are suffering just as I was.

SWELL TEA PARTIES. __ I So Called Because Tea is IVot Served.

Walter Wellman Gives an Edifying Glimpse of Washington Society—Most of the Guest$ Are Strangers to the j Hostess and to One Another. {Special Correspondence.] Washington, Jan. 5.—There is a great clatter of horses’ hoofs on the pavements of the Capital City, a rumble of heavy carriage wheels, a banging of the doors of broughams. Society has awakened from its long lethargy and is once more endeavoring to be gay and imagine it is having a good time. I want to tell you a little something about swell society in this American capital of ours. It won’t take me long to tell you all I know, for I am anything but fashionable. I went to a tea a day or two ago—one of the swellest teas the town has seen for many a month—and probably I shan’t go again for a long year. A swell tea in Washington, par ticularly in a big house where the hostess is ambitious and the invitations numer ous, is one of the most soul harrowing and provoking instruments of torture I ever had the misfortune to meet with. A tea in Washington, you should know, is called a tea probably from the fact that no tea is served; that no one thinks of tea or even coffee, and that the one great beverage which every one eagerly looks for and lovingly lingers by is champagne punch. You are invited from 4 to 6 in the aft ernoon, but after you have haggled with a cabby about the price for half an hour and finally reached an agreement by which he is to call for you at a quar ter to 4 sharp a neighbor who is fashion able, or who thinks she is, kindly sug gests that it is very bad form for any one to appear at a 4 o’clock tea before a. “And if you want to be right in the swim,” she adds, “you won’t get there till a quarter after 5 and will stay only half an hour. This makes you look like an old hand.” I accepted her advice about not going till 5 and wish I had made it an hour later and had staid only thirty seconds. W eu, we arrived ar a. 1 nere is a lung string of carriages just ahead of us, for every one else wants to be fashionable too. After a long wait we get up to the port cochere and alight. The man who opens the carriage door is so magnificent a personage that I am at once in awe of him. I am afraid I won't do something just right and that he will look reprov ingly at me. He hands me a little ticket with a number on it, which I afterward learn is the carriage number, to be used in ordering your vehicle when yon get ready to tear yourself away. Within the hall another magnificent person in livery waves j'ou to the right and your ladies to the left, and after yon have given one young man your coat and received a check for it, and another young man your hat and received a check for that, you begin to look around for the ladies who are so unfortunate as to be under your escort. During the ten min utes which are occupied in this search you have your toes walked upon by at least a dozen distihguished people, cab inet officers and senators and their wives, who aTe nearsighted and important and who appear to think they have right of way. Some men would consider it an honor to have their toes trod upon by such distinguished persons, but 1 have been so long in Washington that the honor conferred seems to me to be out of all proportion to the pain inflicted. There is nothing now to do but to take your place in the line of guests and ad vance as rapidly as possible to the place where the hostess is standing to receive you. As you near her you can see that she is magnificently attired and that her face wears a perpetual smile. As she is a stranger to you. you fall to won dering who is to give you the introduc tion, when you observo that a young man stands near by to whisper an in quiry as to who you are, and. in turn to announce with another whisper your name, so that the hostess may gra ciously greet you as one of hor oldest and dearest friends. It is a great relief to discover that you are not the only VUC nuu musv In fact two-thirds of .the guests are strangers within the gates, like your self. Probably our capital society is the only society in this country in which people are invited to affairs of this sort simply because their names are known and without any previous acquaintance with or even an intrpduction to the hostess. The worst of it is, as you presently discover, that not only are a majority of the guests strangers to the host and hostess, but to each other. There is a great big crowd of people, and those whose acquaintance is somewhat limited wander about disconsolately looking foi some one to say a word to. The crush is great. Half the time you are wedged in 60 that you can’t stir one way or the other. A big fat diplomat bars yoiu progress in one direction, and three women of goodly size and great com pactness render it difficult for you tc take even a single step in the other di rection. Like the arctic explorer whose ship is beset in the ice pack, you have nothing to do but wait and watch for i favorable opening and then make youi sscape. The house is richly furnished, but ne)i so rich are the hangings that women fai to pick at the curtains and declare then cheap, or to examine the so called sill hangings on the walls and pronounce them imitation of the real article. The manner in which one must in the name of fashion throw his home open to the marauding and the criticisms of the mol is something quite appalling to me. The rugs on the floor are soft and thick, anc one thinks he should like to have sucl rugs at his house, but they have this disadvantage—that while walking upoi them you can’t for the life of you tel whether you are stepping on a carpe' that cost six dollars a yard or the ele gant train of some lady who has driftec jnto your vicinity. I know that 1 was in a sort of nervous i state all the time I was at this tea, in fear that the next minute would find me either floundering upon the floor amid a wrecked train or standing up receiving the withering glance of a justly offend ed dame. So I passed most of the time looking at my feet, and I noticed that j other men did the same thing. It is tremendously hot. Probably $20,000 was spent in ornamenting the walls of this house and not a dollar for ventilation. About one-third of the people present appear to have bad breaths. Society people are more af flicted with this misfortune than other people because they eat so much sweet stuff and drink so much champagne punch between nibbles at salads and things. As the mob surges to and fro, disporting many fine gowns and jewels, one finds himself unconsciously moral izing upon what shall it profit a man to have fine clothes if he lose his good health and acquire a bad breath. The conversation which goes on in these crowded drawing rooms is a reve lation. Unless you had heard it with your own ears you could never have be lieved a company of men and women could be so inane and stupid. It is im possible to move about without hearing what your neighbors have to say, but if you overhear one bright or interesting remark in the whole entertainment you will be in great luck. I don’t mean to say that the people are naturally stupid. Many of them are as bright as new silver coins and have made their reputations in the world in some phase of intellectual effort. But it would take more than a com mon mortal, male or female, to be bril liant, or even interesting, in a mob like this. There is no conversation—mere slinging of a few sentences at one an other. No one sits down. If you attempt to stand by a friend long enough to have a bit of talk a current of humanity or storm of gown or train or something comes along and separates you. If you are not interrupted in this manner some woman rushes up and whisks your friend off to be introduced to some one else, or brings her friend up and plants him or her between you and your acquaintance, with whom you are trying to carry on conversation, and drives you away in disgust. X UU UUUVU V V I O toward the dining room, where a table is gorgeously spread with things and you can’t for the life of you tell what they are, but they look good enough to eat. Here the crush is at high pressure. In the excitement and enforced contact of the moment you feel your neighbor’s heart beating against yours. This may or may not be interesting—it depends altogether upon the identity and char acteristics of the neighbor whom the fates have awarded you for the moment. It seems impossible to get near the table, where from the edges of the crowd you get glimpses of men and women eating red stuff and drinking from pretty cups. Y ou envy them and wonder how they ever got there. You are in despair. But while you are waiting and grow ing hungry an experienced tea fiend comes up, inserts a shoulder in the near est opening, says “I beg your pardon,” snjiles and pushes in. A series of inser tions of the thin and well trained shoul der, of pardons and smiles, and the ex perienced pusher has pushed her way,, or sometimes it is his way, to the very front, where he or she presently stands with a plate in one hand and a fork in the other as calm as a sleeping dog. Not withstanding the crowd every one is studiously polite and considerate. There are no disgraceful scenes. As the throng shifts to and fro, forward and back, a framed eye would observe, how ever. that it is the accomplished and ex- i perienced tea attender that gets to the front, while the tyro remains in the out skirts and sucks his thumb. Politeness is here a cloak to pushing people out of one’s way, as I fancy it is in any of the other affairs of life. Of course it is absolutely necessary that some idiot should come along with ice cream and dash it against your best trousers. And an old woman loses con trol of her glass of punch and spills it upon your coat. Another old woman, to whom you were so unfortunate as to be introduced, asks you to get her an ice, and after you have skirmished for about lYiinn+M novertirorl atl/1 Tlftfl VnilT clothes ruined, walked upon the gowns of a half dozen other women, you re turn triumphantly with the ice in your trembling hand only to discover that some other dupe has been before you and supplied the old dame’s wants. It is a favorite trick of the experienced tea attender in Washington to ask four or five men to gei her something from the table. One or another is pretty sure to meet with success in his quest in her behalf, and if two or three of them come up with cups and plates, why, so much the better. It is a queer jumble of humanity. The highest .officers of the government are here and also the lowest in rank. Most of the women are married. Half of them are old enough to know better. The young and interesting women do not like to waste their strength in such unsatisfac tory endeavors, for there are no corners to sit down in and sole possession of any sort of a man is impossible. The men are either old rounders, who live on tea tables in order to save expenses at their clubs or restaurants, diplomats old and glum or young and offensively dudish, or politicians who are here not so much for society’s sake as for their wives’ and their re-election. They are nice people. Many of them are famous people. A few are brilliant people. But the idea itself is absurd, stupid, harassing, senseless. It ought never to be. While a dinner satisfies and develops or a reception with a small number of guests—so that repose and genuine conversation is possible—brings people close together and makes them friends in fact, a tea is a hop-skip-and jump social function in which every one is trying to remember some onp else, avoid being run over and to get something to eat without loss of life or limb or clothing. The tea should go. At any rate Til have no more of it. Walter Wellmaw. Tiko cures Rheumatism, hundreds of suffer i ere era acurd*very week. iVliiit the Popular Skirt Looks Like.

I Quaint Afternoon Gown and a Besir- able One—Bodices That May Be Made at Home—Flowers Re stored to Favor. ICOPYUIGHT, 18921 The skirt is the all-absorbing topic of the day. No one can make up her mind whether she will have a new fashioned bell, a round skirt, a skirt daring well at the edge or a gathered skirt. And those that have skirts of t last year, too good to throw away, which they are trying to make over into something more modern, are in despair; for last year’s bell refuses to be re modeled. Alasl there isn’t enough of it around the hips; there is no way that we can add the neeessary fullness. In this age of growing hips the old bell duds no place, and must either be worn bravely as it is, or else be discarded for ever. The new skirts have even a little fullness in the front, and considerable over the hips and in the back. Anyone til Or BUST VELVET AltD LACE. that has studied the art of dressing well knows that a line in this impor tant garment will often make or mar a costume. An ungraceful fold will ef fectually spoil the whole; therefore watch your skirts, be sure they fit, be sure they hang well, and above all be sure their length is uniform. So many women wear gowns of uneven length, and nothing is more positively displeas ing to the artistic eye than a jerk here or a sudden drop there, where all I should be harmonious, graceful slope. Even in these days of outre and start ling combination it is possible to be artistic. Woman is allowed more freedom in this regard than man, it would seem, for she may depart consid erably from the laws laid down by the great modistes and still not incur their disapproval. She may select what she will from the many prevailing fashions and combine them to suit herself in a quieter, less obtrusive way, and the re sult will be at once original and pleas ing. Strange to say, immediately a thing goes out of style it becomes dis tasteful to us, and we instinctively turn away from it, but no sooner does a new mode appear than we give it all our ad miration, affection and regard, no mat ter how scornfully we may have repudi ated it a few years ago, when its glory faded before that of the new star which arose. For a striking illustration of this truth, turn to the present unique and wonderful fashions. But no matter what we thought of them last year or the year before, we welcome them now, and take them all without a word of questioning. For in stance, what would you have thought last year of such a dress as this?— vigogne, pale-colored, falling over a black velvet skirt. The vigogne flares well, is embroidered with jet all around, and is cut up in great round scallops at the edge. Extraordinary breadth of shoulder is formed by cream lace flounc ing falling over immense puffed sleeves; the flouncing meets in a point at the waist, and inside it run black velvet revers up even to the back of the collar, where they meet- Inside the revers a pretty lace fichu is modestly crossed and caught with an old-fashioned brooch, and outside the revers falls a short fur boa. The flare at the shoul ders and the flare at the bottom of the THE GOWN OF MANY COLORS. skirt are brought out more strongly by the close clasping velvet belt. Quaint? Yes, it is indeed. And pretty? I think so. Do not you? Here’s a tasteful visiting gown if you are in need of one. Dull gray cheviot is the material for the front part of the dress; but the entire back, skirt and bodice are all velvet of a rich red brown shade. The corsage is plaited in front into a point, and has a velvet flounce in big waves falling over each shoulder, and then continuing down the bodice, widening out as it descends, and falling after it passes the belt in long points over the skirt. At the foot of the skirt there are two bias folds of the same dark velvet. The sleeves are very pretty, first plaited down from the shoulder quite flatly, and at the elbow starting out in great loose puffs, which are immediately drawn in again, how ever, beneath tight cuffs. Don’t you want to make a lovely even ing bodice all yourself, one that you can wear with plain skirts? Well, then, take a piece of fine guipure lace, and make a deep square yoke for both the back and the front of your bodice. Then take delicately colored chiffon, the shade your complexion is pleased with, of course, and full it on to your yoke, leaving a big heading standing up. Then gather the fullness together once more at the belt. Make your sleeves very short, just big puffs, and your bodice is done. It will give you an infantile, bewitch ing appearance, it is so exceedingly babyish. Or, if you have a bodice that needs freshioning, make a chiffon cape to slip over it. The cape doesn’t fasten at the neck, but slips down and fastens at the top of the low corsage. These are very soft and pretty and quite inex pensive. Oh, such beautiful dresses I have been gazing at of late. They’re all coming out very soon, and I’ve been permitted a peep at them. Society is in full swing, and every great dressmaker is turning out some exquisite gowns. They must never offend by making two .alike, and it is no easy task to create for so large a number of exacting women. But it looks as though they would not fail. I bad not the slightest doubt of their success, as I touched with almost rever ent fingers those exquisite garments. There was one of pink gauze, lightly embroidered with silk dots. The skirt was draped to some little extent, and bordered at the foot with two broad bands of roses, separated by a fine plaiting of pink chiffon. The bodice was the pretty part of it, however, for over a plaiting of chiffon which formed a berthe were laid two thick rows of the same pink roses. One lay right against the low-cut neck, the other a little below, but curving up on each side, finally touched the upper one on the shoulder, so that the plaiting could fall loosely. Then over the roses, start ing at the top band and running down to the waist, were two full rolls of plain chiffon, which widened as they fell, and eventually disappeared under the arms, melting into the fullness of the waist itself. This little corselet was the chief charm of the dress, and added the youthful appearance neces sary, for a very young girl was to wear it. Blossoms seem to grow in popularity on both gowns and bonnets. We dis carded them for a little while at the beginning of the season, but have dis ■mvered that there is nothing that can FOB A VEST YOUNG GIKI,. replace them. The lovely petals have a way of slipping with sweet grace into just the right spot. We need never ar range them, as we must do with ribbon or lace or velvet; they simply fall into their places of their own accord. So that all of the latest evening hats and a great many others, too, for dress occa sions, are plentifully adorned with blossoms. Velvet ones, of course, are the favorites, for their colorings are so rich, and the petals are so soft and nat ural. But I must finish about my dresses. The next one that excited my admira tion was of palest green silk,white chif fon, white velvet ribbon and pale green ribbon; black lace, black velvet and jet, and all these various materials were combined in most pleasing fashion. The pale green silk predominated, of course. The black lace was observed in three little flounces at the feet, in deep flounces at the shoulder puffs, and In another deep flounce around the de collete corsage. The white chiffon formed a ruche aoove tne uiacic rumes on the skirt, a finely gathered bodice and big sleeve-puffs. The jet united the white puffs and the lace sleeve-ruffles headed the full slanting black vel vet ceinture that started under the right arm and ended at the waist line on the left, and hung in deep fringe on the lower edge of the same ceinture. The white ribbon joined the green rib bon, end togethe* they stood out in a small bow on each shoulder, in another on the right arm, in still one more on the right side of the bodice, and finally in one of great length at the left side, falling from the velvet. Is your imag ination equal to the task of adjusting these details and constructing a beauti ful gown therefrom? If not, gaze upon the pictured whole. One more gown, and—as the miuistei says, and as the people often hear with a sigh of relief—1 am done. This is one for a stately matron, and .is made of velvet of rich ruby hue. The gown, of princesse cut, opens wide to admit a black lace front, cut very low, and filled in above by a fichu of rare, creamy lace. Little puffs of the same •lace are on the shoulders. The full sleeves are caught in twice by plain .bands, and then allowed to fall freely. A loose gauze belt in front disappears beneath the ruby velvet at the sides. Tiny headings of gold run down the sides of the velvet and a full ruche oi black gauze covers the neck. _Eva A. Schttbebt.
