In the race for prosperity, the town
that taxes food and heaps burdens on the

The last prominent ecclesiastical con
version to Cleveland is Harrison, the boy
preacher, and he is a whole host when he

The Georgia yam will soon begin to
ripen in the southern counties. Its Flori

Those who think John Kelly has gone
up Salt river are mistaken. He is only

at the National Convention.
It’s about time now for the Republican
papers to announce that Jeff Davis is for
Cleveland. Their correspondents don't
seem to be keeping up with the times.
Nothing can anger Prince Bjsmarck so
much as to have a crowd of French school

Senator Plumb, ot Kansas, started in
life as a Journeyman printer, and is now
a millionaire. He doubtless took advant
age of his fellows, and got all the fat takes
in the office.
Lieut. Greely has not been nearer than
fifty ora hundred mile# to the great Hum
boldt glacier for some time, hence he
brought no news about the lost enthusi-

Pittsburg is to have a one-horse kind of
crematory to cost J 6,000 and to be opera
ted with natural gas. A good many cities
are constructing their projiosed cremato
ries entirely of conversational gas.
New Bedford, Mass., is not taking much
interest in national politics just now.
The people are having all the argument
they want over a proposition to appropri
ate city funds to pay for Sunday brass
band concerts.
It would be well for the clerks at Wash
ington not to respond too liberally to the
appeals of the Republican committee for
campaign funds. They ought to 6ave up
enough money to pay their railroad fare
home next March.
Nashville, Tenn., has fifty base ball
clubs. The big three of that city are
certainly entitled to great praise for
keeping the boys from getting up a riot
that would lay the Cincinnati fracas in
the shade.
Gen. Butler will not come out as a full
fledged candidate until his limbs grow
long enough to straddle from the anti

He wants to be against monopolies in
name and against the people in reality.
Greely and his men lived for several
days after their provisions gave out on
soup made from their sealskin earments.
This circumstance will furnish the ladies
with an additional argument when they

Thousands of people will hear with re
gret that liquor is no longer considered
an infallible cure for snake bites. It is
yet considered a pretty good remedy for
or preventive of fish bites, however; so
fishermen can continue to carry along
their usual supply.
An enterprising San Francisco show
man proposes to exhibit two Chinese lep
ers throughout the Eastern States. If he
will get some patients suffering from
cholera, the plSgue, yellow fever, small
pox, and a few more horrible diseases, he
will have the most interesting and taking
exhibition of the age.
The boycotting of those eminent Blaine
papers, the New York Tribune and Phila
delphia Press by the labor unions, is a
pretty good off-hsnd argument that the
Republican candidate is at heart an Eng
lishman, and too utterly too-too to care
anything about the laboring men except
to get their votes.
Toe eminent patriot Kellogg is hav
ing some heavy work this hot weather
on his fences. It is stated that the
negroes in his district have deserted him,
and will support Martinet, of Iberia.
Kellogg’s friends are straining every
nerve to save him, but it is not by any
means certain that they can do so.
There seems to be an impression that it
will be a grave mistake to make William
Dickson, who was foreman of tn first
star route jury, Secretary of the National
Democratic Committee. It will be better,
probably, to allow the Republicans to
have a monopoly of everything and every
body connected with the star route
business.
The question, what practical benefit
will flow from the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics which was created by Congress
last winter? is already beginning to be
asked. All the work that it is proposed
it shall do is already being well done by
other bureaus. The bureau, however,
provide# several very good places in
whieh political favorites may be stowed
away.
It is found that dining cars do not pay,
and managers of the great lines of rail
way on which such cars are used are
thinking of either abandoning them and
returning to the eating house system, or
of raising the price of meals to fl. Un
less the eating houses are conducted much
better than those in many localities trav
elers would rather have the dining cars at
double the price now paid for meals.
Alluding to the testimony given by
Gen. Hawley, that Blaine is above re
proach, the Boston Herald reminds its
readers that Daniel Webster once pro
posed, when rather full of wine, to pay
the national debt out of his own pocket,
while as a usual thing he was rarely pro
pared to pay his own butcher's bills.
Perhaps Gen. Hawley can get W. E.
Chandler or G. Frisbie Hoar to bolster up
his testimony.
Xew York citv is very sensitive to
cholera scares. On Friday a great deal
of excitement was created among the
officers of the Health Department by the
announcement made by an excited indi
vidual that there were five cases of cholera
at a tenement bouse in Spring street.
The people in the nelgborhood of the tene
ment house thought that the plague had
actually found a lodgement among them
and they gave the alleged infected house
a wide berth. An investigation showed
that the sick people were Germans and
that they were suffering from cholera
morous It is probable that if cholera ap
arg in this country at all this summer
it will not appear until it has spread over
Fighting the Cotton Worm.
L Heretofore the battle against the cotton
worm has chiefly been confined to the use
of poisons. Experts have for several
years appreciated the fact that the most
promising efforts in the future would
probably be those directed against the
moth, and moth traps of many kinds have
been tried, but they have never been fully
successful. In nearly all these traps a
light is us< and to attract the insects, but
the radiated heat generally warns the
moth before it geu close enough to be
caught or burned.
The wholesale destruction of insects in
cities where the electric light is in use,
has given anew idea to those who are in
terested in the destruction of the cotton
moth. While the heat very near the
electric light is intense, the heated zone
does not extend very far, and, hence, in
sects lured by the glare are not warned of
the danger until they are within the dead
ly limits. It is claimed that the cotton
moth can be exterminated on its first ap
pearance in any locality by simply plac
ing properly arranged electric lights in
the fields.
This theory is a very attractive one, and
is no doubt correct in a great measure.
There are economical and practical ques
tions connected with it, however, which
will prevent its extended use among
planters in the near future. The electric
light is not only a luxury of the present
age, but a costiy luxury. Not one planter
in live hundred is able to invest in even
the most modest style of plant for pro
ducing it, and it will probably be a long
time before the conditions will be favor
able for its adoption on cotton planta
tions.
The electric light moth trap may be
used in vegetable gardens ndkr cities, but
for large plantations, where the use of
moth traps is desirable, some adaptation of
the oil lamp will have to be used yet
awhile.
Workingmen for Cleveland.
One of the most significant features ot
the opening of the present political cam
paign was the disbanding of the Young
Men’s Republican Club of the Third As
sembly District of New York. The club
is composed almost entirely ot working
men, and was organized in May last with
a view to being ready for the fight by the
time the Republican candidates would be
nominated.
The nomination ot Blaine and Logan
acted as a damper on the ciub, and nearly
every day since that time there have
been increasing evidences of disaffec
tion. "When Cleveland was nominated
one after another of the members an
nounced their intention to vote for him,
until three-fourths of the club had avow
edly deserted the standard ot the Plumed
Knight.
On Wednesday night the club met and
by an almost unanimous vote agreed to
disband.
Before the lights in the hall had been
extinguished, the Cleveland men bad
enrolled themselves as meml>ers of the
Young Men's Democratic Club of the
Third Assembly District. These men
had always been Republicans heretofore,
and many of them were affected by Gov.
Cleveland’s veto of the eight-hour law,
but justified his course in the matter by
asserting that he saved them from a very
material reduction in their wages.
There are evidences that this is but the
forerunner of many similar bolts among
the workingmen, who cannot be deceived
further as to which party and candidate
really favor their material interests. The
tidal wave of reform is beginning to flow'.
Voluntary Contributions.
A Republican paper unfriendly to
Blaine says that it is the purpose of the
Republican managers to scare, coax and
otherwise get money from government
employes for campaign purposes. Lately
quite a large number of promotions were
made in the Pension Office. The promo
tions were not made according to the civil
service rules, but on the recommendation
of the chiefs of bureaus. It is believed
that all these promotions were made with
the understanding that the parties bene
fitted should contribute liberally to the
campaign funds. The same plan prob
ably will be pursued in all departments
of the government. Stories have been
started, and they will probably
be given a sort of semi-official sanction,
that a general reduction of force is about
to take place. The alarm that stories
like these will cause will influence the em
ployes to make contributions freely.
They cannot tell where the axe will fall,
and they will conclude that the best way
to avert misfortune will be to contribute
a part of their salaries to the Republican
cause. There is no doubt that the em
ployes will have to bear pretty heavy as
sessments, notwithstanding the civil ser
vice law. Circulars soliciting voluntary
subscriptions are sent to the residences
ot the employes, and the law is evaded
in that way. Such are the practices of
the Republican party which, lately, at
Chicago declared fsr civil service reform.
A New Applicant for Favor.
•flic combination which has been effected
between the Baltimore and Ohio, Bankers’
and Merchants’ Postal Telegraph and the
Bennet-Mackav Cable Companies is at
tracting a great deal of attention. Of
course the purpose of the combination is
to draw away as much business as pos
sible from the Western Union Company.
As Mie public has uo particular interest
in. either the new combination or the
Western Union, whichever one is the most
hccommodating and the most moderate in
prices will get the bulk of the business.
The combination controls one hundred
and twenty thousand miles of wire.
This is about one-third of the amount that
the Western Union controls, not taking
into consideration railroad wires. The
wires of the combination, however, reach
all the best territory of the Western
Union in the East, West and South.
Twenty-two millions of dollars represents
the cash outlay of the combination, in
cluding the cable. It is hardly probable
that the combination will sell out or lease
its franchises and wires. It is in the field
to stay, so its promoters say, and it is
probable that it will stay. It has strong
ricU men at the back of it, and they are
ambitious to make it a success.
It appears that the anti-monopolists are
not going to fight the Democrats as hard
as has been expected. Their organ, Jus
tice, in its issue of Thursday last, ex
presses the opinion that there is no chance
of electing Butler even if he should run.
It says: “It, therefore, behooves anti
monopolists to see whether there is any
choice between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Cleve
land. If there is no third candidate
in the field Anti-Monopolists may
be obliged to support the
least objectionable of the two,
neither of whom they approve of, or lose
their votes. But it would be well to make
up their minds slowly and carefully, with
a view to the best of a bad bargain.” Be
fore the last Chicago Convention the
Anti-Monopolists would consider the
claims of nobody but Butler. Now, it
seeips, they will probably support the
least objectionable of the candidates ot
the Democratic and Republican parties.
It is not necessary to suggest that their
choice can hardly be Blaine and Logan.
Mr. Jarratt, the Pittsburg labor agi
tator, was appointed and confirmed Com
missioner of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. The President, however, has de
clined to sign Mr. Jarratt’s commission,
for the reason, it is said, that Mr. Jarratt,
a couple of months ago, in a labor har
rangue, talked of the President in very
disrespectful terms. It is reported that
Mr. Jarratt said the President was a dude;
that he owed his place to Guiteau, and
that he was better fitted to be a waiter at
Delmonico’s than President. If that is
the sort of man Mr. Jarratt is the Presi
dent is right in withholding his commis
sion. There are occasions when it doesn’t
pay to play the part ot a demagogue, and
Mr. Jarratt will have that fact pressed
home upon him in a way that he will not
soon forget if he ultimately fails to get
his commission. He has had a talk with
the President, but has failed to impress
upon him that in his labor speech he spoke
of him only in a Pickwickian sense.
Gen. Logan is going West. He proba
bly wants to see how Blaine’s ultra pro
tection letter jingles in the ears ot the
people of the Republican free trade States.
Cigar Men and the Tariff.
The cigar men, it seems, think that a
good deal depends upon them whether
Cleveland or Blaine shall be President.
In New York there are 25,000 voters en
gaged in the different branches of the
cigar business, and in the whole country
623,005. They claim that they hold the
balance of power in New York, Pennsyl
vania, California and Florida. If reports
are to be credited they have been bolding
meetings in all the cities and larger towns
for the purpose of making a choice be
tween Cleveland and Blaine. They propose
to support the party which will give
the cigar interest the most support. The
cigar men are in favor of a high protec
tive duty for manufactured cigars,
but they want leaf tobacco admitted free.
They have all along looked with favor on
the Republican party because it professed
itself to be the champion of the protective
system. The clause of the Democratic
platform, however, which favors free raw
material is what they want, and they
are willing to give the Democratic party
their undivided and hearty support if
they can get any assurance that that
party, while admitting raw material
free, will not disturb the existing
duties on cigars. It is probable that
the 600,0)0 cigar-makers will remain on
the fence—supposing they are on the
fence —a good while before they get any
assurance of that kind. The Democratic
party must look after the interests of
tobacco producers and consumers, as
well as of the cigar-makers.
Cincinnati is considerably stirred up on
the liquor question. Out of 3,500 saloon
keeper in the city only 300 have paid their
taxes under the Scott liquor law r . A pen
alty ot 20 per cent, additional has been as
-Bessed*against the delinquents, and now
executions are to be issued, and levied for
the taxes, penalties and costs. The de
lay in collecting the tax is seriously af
fecting the infirmary and police funds.
CURRENT COMMENT.
An Evil Day for the Party.
Boston Globe (Dem.).’
It is an evil ilav for the Republican party
when those who have gained control of its
management so conduct the organization
that the offspring of its most distinguished
founders feel compelled to withdraw their
allegiance.
Blaine and Folger’s Love.
Hartford Times (Dem.).
Mr. Blaine advised the Republicans of New
York to bolt Secretary Folger when he was
runnina for Governor of that State. Many of
them bolted, and Cleveland’s majority was
193,000! Now Secretary Folger desires that
Mr Blaine may find next November that some
of his own advice has been applied to him.
He should not complain that nis own medi
cine is bitter.
Match Makers’ Impudence.
Philadelphia Record ( Ind.).
The supreme height of impudence is attain
ed by the match manufacturers, who cry out
for more protection than a 35 per cent, tariff
affords. They affirm that they cannot pay in
terest on the enormously watered capital
stock of their great combination and compete
with Swedish manufacturers, and so they de
sire to make matches dear again. But this is
a scheme that will not work.
High-Handed Monopolists.
Xathrille World (Dem.).
In Pennsylvania the coal monopolists have
determined to suspend operations during Au
gust and it may be for September. This an
thracite monopoly carries things with a high
hand. It lives under the present tariff and
sets the price of coal, aided bv the railroads in
many places of the United States. They have
driven off thousands of native Pennsylvanians
bv importing the panper labor of Europe.
The workingmen can get cheap coal by over
turning the " Republican party which fosters
all such grinding monopolies.
Blaine's Irish Pretensions.
Boeton Pilot (Dem.).
We say to Mr. Blaine now that had he been
a defender of the rights of naturalized citizens
when those citizens were flung into foreign
prisons untried and uncharged, the Pilot
would import him to-day, and a million Amer
icans of the Irish race would vote for him in
November. But he did not do it, and his pre
tensions of fair play and friendship now are
sheer humbug. He and his party have a lesson
to learu from all this, and so has the'Demo
cratic party. The advantage of the latter is
that its lesson lies in its coming opportunities.

It is never too late to mend. An interest
ing litigation is at present before the Su

Germany, for a final decision. It involves
the claim set up by the three Counts of Stol
berg-Wernigerode* Stolberg-Stolberg and
Stolberg-Rossla against the Ducal Private
Domain, for the restitution of the whole of the
domains and forests in the county of Blanker
burg (Hartz Mountains), valued at several
millions of marks. This remarkable snit was
first instituted in 1604, at the then Imperial
Court of Wetzlar, was carried on till 1649, left
in abeyance since then until 1883, when the
present Counts ot Stolberg resumed it, and
are now pushing it to an ultimate settlement.
A DiFFicrLTY that has for a long time puz
zled the engineers of the St. Gothard Railway
seems on the point of being removed. Every
one who has traveled by the line has cause to
remember his experience in passing through
the great tunnel, the passage of which occu
pies fully twenty minutes. The sulphurous
fumes frem the engines render the confined
atmosphere injurious to persons with delicate
lungs. The company requested their engi
neers to submit plans for engines that would
be capable of passing through without using
fire. Two experimental locomotives, just
completed, are provided with steam and wa
ter that is heated by a stationary boiler at
each end of the tunnel. The steam thus gen
erated is passed by means of a current of
hot air, which is set in motion by the working
of the engine, over an alkaline liquid, con
fined in a special chamber, and by this means
is entirely absorbed after having communi
cated its power to the machinery, so that no
vapor at all escapes into the atmosphere of
the tunnel.
Tnz inventor of anew pavement has been
busy for two weeks in laving a pavement on
Fifth avenue, between Thirty-second and
Thirty-third streets. New York, as an adver
tisement. He claims that his method has
proved verv satisfactory in Paris and London.
The pavement consists of a bed of concrete
six inches thick, made of Portland cement
mixed with gravel and small stones. Thu is
covered with wooden blocks that have been
soaked in creosote, an operation that is said
to take away the expansive tendency of the
wood. The crevices in the wood are partly
filled with asphalt. This fastens the blocks to
the concrete bed, after which the joints are
filled with cement, which forms the numerous
block* into one solid mass. On top of the
wood is placed a coating of pebbles, which,
when crushed bv the vehicles, forms a hard
surface. The cost of fii* pavement is greater
than common granite on account of the
expense of laving the bed of concrete. It is
claimed that ibis makesa very smooth road
way, and that little or no noise is heard even
when heavy trucks pass over it.

A Chicago Hotel Scene.

An elderly gentleman stepped up to the
hotel register, wrote his name and resi

sized him up, and evidently taking him
for a man of simple tastes, said: “We are
a little crowded just now, but I can give
you an inside room on the fifth floor,
which will be pleasanter and somewhat
cheaper than apartments lower down,
with street frontage.” “It would, eh ?”
came the response in a voice like a horse
shoer’s rasp; “do I look as though I
wanted something cheap?” “Oh, no, in
deed; you misunderstand me. I was
simply—” “Look here, young man, I’m

Finding a Pot of Coin.
A lew days ago, says a Cumberland,
Maryland, letter to the Baltimore Hun,
John Smith, a fanner living twenty miles
east of Cumberland, while digging post
holes, discovered a jar containing a quan
tity of old gold and silver coin. He is
reticent about the amount, but rumor
places it at from five hundred to five
thousand dollars. There are many theo
ries as to where the coin came from, one
being that It belonged to a miserly old
bachelor who was found dead in the road
about ten years ago.
DISAPPOINTED CLERKS.
Soma Unworthy Promotions for PoUti
cnl Purposes.
There is a good-sized growl to be beard
in some of the departments, says a Wash
iegton special to the Baltimore Sun, in
consequence of tbe recent promotions in
the clerical forces of the same, and par
ticularly in the Register’s Office of the
Treasury Department aud the Pension
Office. It is alleged that instead of the
civil service rules being carried out in
making the promotions by merit they
were violated oftener than observed. As
a clerk in the Treasury Department ex
plained it to-day: “The'longest pole gets
the persimmons now the same as ever,
civil service to the contrary notwithstand
ing.” Some outrageous cases are re
ported, hut in each case the clerks who
have been outraged are afraid to give
their names for fear of being removed
from office altogether. One of the
cases is in the Register’s Office
of the Treasury Department. There
was a vacancy in the eighteen hundred
dollar elites ot clerkships. For this place
a colored clerk named Smith was today
designated, which is about the same as if
appointed, by Register Bruce. Smith was
regarded in the office as a mere copyist,
having no particular clerical ability, and
it was a surprise to the experienced
clerks who have been there for years and
who expected promotion. These clerks
say that Smith, while not specially won
derful as a clerk, has a record as a politi
cian, and as one of the “wboojiers up” for
Arthur in company with his friend, Reg
ister Bruce, at the late Chicago Republi
can Convention, Why his political abili
ties should lie considered in the matter of
making clerical promotions is one of
those few questions that the civil service
commission has not yet satisfactorily ex
plained.
Another ctse which has marked charac
teristics is in the pension office. It was
well known there that there would be
some promotions made at the opening of
the fiscal year, and there was a lively
competitiojf for the places. The promo
tions at th*X’ension Office are supposed
to be made from the record made by each
clerk. Accuracy, attendance and rapidity
are the great points in the competition.
At least the clerks supposed those three
points would weigh more than any other,
but they have since found out that
political backing and “pressure” does
the business more effectually. In
one division of that office some clerks, so
as to get their record as high as possible
in passing on pension cases, have for
months taken work to their homes and
worked at night. When the time for pro
motion arrived it was found that one of
Senator Mahone’s political friends got the
coveted place, though it was notorious
that he was by no means as good a clerk
a9 any of the others in the room, his record
for accuray, attendance and rapidity be
ing bad. This kind of work is very dis
couraging to competent and deserving
clerks, though, as stated before, they are
not able to come out and make public
complaint for fear of the consequences to
themselves.
A NAIL IN A MAX’S SKULL, .
The Mysterious Case that is Puzzling
the Baltimore Authorities.
A German named Valentine Fritz,
aged 69 years, living in South Baltimore,
says a Baltimore special to the New York
World, is reported to be in a dying condi
tion from the effects of a nail driven into
his head by some means unknown to his
friends. His son states that his father
left home on Tuesday morning for a walk,
but did not return all day. lie had been
in feeble health. In the evening he was
brought to the door in a helpless condi
tion. Two boys, who accompanied him,
stated that they found him sitting on a
bridge in the suburbs crying. He asked
to be taken home. On the way there he
told the boys that while attempting to
gather some berries along a bank he fell.
Upon a close examination the head of a
nail was discovered protruding from his
skull. It was extracted by Dr. Blake and
was found to be a small spike about two
inches long. It had been driven in at the
crown and bent forward towards the fore
head. The wound caused partial para
lysis on one side.
The old man was questioned by the po
lice and either could not or would not tell
how the nail had been driven into his
head. He soon after lost consciousness.
There are several theories advanced—one
that his half idiot boy drove it into the
man’s skull, another that when he tell
he struck his head against it, and still an
other that Fritz drove the nail in himself
to end his life. The curious case is being
investigated by the authorities.
Subsequent investigation shows that
when Fitz returned home he was suffering
from sunstroke, and that while lying un
conscious in his bed his idiot son, aged 20
years, crept up stealthily and drove a ten
penny nail in the old man’s head. So firm
ly wits the nail imbedded that the flesh
had to be cut away before the nippers
could grasp the nail head and draw it out.
The man will uie.
A VERY OLD WOMAN.
A French Peasant Who Is Said to he
123 Years Old.
A woman named Marie Durand, born at
Auberive-en-Royans, in the Department
of the Ireve, France; on March 16,1761, is
123 years old. The country about her home
is very mountainous and abounds in beau
tiful scenery. A great many tourists visit
it during the summer season. She is quite
an object of curiosity to them, as may be
imagined, and lew who visit the ltoyans
district fail to go and see the old lady,
during whose lifetime four royal houses,
two empires and three republics have
come and gone in France. Her skin, by
constant exposure and extreme age, has
become of a very dark brown hue and is
drawn over the" bones like parchment, a
very net-work of wrinkles. Her food con
sists entirely of vegetables, with a horri
ble species of fritter made of flour and
oil. She is fond of a glass ol wine and oc
casionally takes a dram of brandy, which
is her universal panacea in case of sick
ness. She is wretchedly poor and lives
all alone in a little thatched cabin with
scarcely any furniture. Every afternoon
at 4 o’clock she barricades her door
and goes to bed, where the peasants ex
pect some morning to find her dead.
“So Fow’ful Humbly.”
Utica Observer.
During the three years that 1 was in
Washington as correspondent of the New
York Tribune and Treasury clerk I saw
Mr. Lincoln often and under various cir
cumstances. I got to Washington in Junp,
1861, in one of the first trains that went
through after the Baltimore blockade.
Gen. Scott lived on Four-and-a-halt street,
and, as he was somewhat infirm, Mr. Lin
coln waived etiquette and called on
him. The old soldier’s aids were absent
at the moment, and there was nobody
between him and the public ex
cept “Epb,” a vigorous and punctilious
darkey, who kept the door, and who
had been told that his master did not want
to see anybody. He responded to Mr.
Lincoln’s ring. “Who shall I tell him
wants to see him?” “The President.”
“Preth’dunt o’ what?” “President of
the United States.” The darkey scanned
him with surprise. “Reck’n not, sah.
No, sah. Not much. He can’t see you
now. But I’ll tell him a man is called.”
Presently the General appeared in the hall
and welcomed the President. “Golly,”
said the colored servitor, apologetically.
“Why. Gen’l, I didn’t thupp ' not for a
single instance, dat it was
Linkum, really; ’cause I’ve alius heerd
him ’luded to as so pow’ful humly!”
The Terror of Cholera.
Cincinnati Merchant Traveler.
Augustus Fitzclarence, a high-toned
dude, was talking to a friend of his about
the cholera prospects of the season. -•> Aw.
now, Fwank, weally, do you think it will
come to Amewica?” “I haven’t a bit of
doubt about it,” was the confident reply.
“And will it be genewal—epidemic, don’t
you know?” “I think so.” “And all the
shop people and labowing classes have it,
too?” “Certainly.” “Hawible,bawible.”
“Y'eß, it will be rather hard on them, and
on the rest of us too.” “That’s it, Fwank;
that’sit! I don’t caiah faw them, don’t
you know; but it makes me weally fa
tigued to think of cholewa being so com
mon, and that I may die with the vewy
same hawwid disease that cahwies off my
tailaw and bah-baw, don’t you know.”
The Shears and the Cockroach.
Detroit Free Press.
A Pair of Shears which had long Oc
cupied an Editorial Table one day Ob
served a Cockroach going for the Paste
Pot, and promptly called out:
“How now, you Y'agrant?”
“Who’s a Vagrant?”
“You are, and I Warn you to take
Yourself off!”
“See here,” said the Cockroach, as he
came to a sudden halt, “I don’t want to
crowd anybody off the Editorial Staff, but
I must Warn you that, while plenty of
Editors never have any use for Shears, no
Newspaper Office in this country can be
run without Cockroaches!”
Not Equal to Three.
* Chicago Daily News.
They had not been married very long,
but she had grown cold and listless; so
one evening after she had yawned seven
teen consecutive times, he said: “You
seem to be so cold and indifferent, Mai
vina. Have you forgotten those happy
days when I was paying you my ad
dresses?” “You bet I’ve not forgotten
those happy days before we were married.
I never had less than three fellers of an
evening around me paying me attention.”
“But, dearest, haven’t you got me to pay
you attention right now?” “Yes, I sup
pose 1 have. You are doing the best you
snow how; but you don’t flatter yourself
that you are equal to three, do you ?”
BERNHARDT'S BODICE.
A .Jersey that Shows Her Form to Per
fection.
All the world and hi* wile, say* Olive
Logan, in her London letter, are talking
about Sarah Bernhardt’s tunny costume
for “Lady Macbeth.” Well, well, did you
ever? It took Sarah to think of something
new, of course. Imagine a jersey—a
sort of abdominal jersey, if 1 may be
allowed the expression—an eel-skin
garment reaching from the neck
to—why, to the voluminously plait
ed skirt, of course, only the skirt be
gins about a foot and a halt lower than
skirts nsuallv begin, and all the upper
part is unmitigated, unwrinkled jersey.
The result proves that Sarah —unless she
has resorted to the extreme measure of
padding—is not such a fleshless creature
as has been supposed. The jersey is em
broidered with heraldic figures, and the
whole effect is marvelously odd. It
anything would give her Lady Macbeth
a stamp it would be that won
derful skin-fitting bodice. In
other ways Sarah shows her
eccentricity. Where on earth do you sup
pose she is living during her London en
gagement? Why, at the Star and Garter,
at Richmond, if you please. She has got
a suite of rooms at the famed hostelry of
Richmond Hill, her windows commanding
that peerless prospect which has formed
the theme of rapture lor so many poetic
pens. Every day when the renowned
tragic artist 6its upon the noble terrace
oi the Star and Garter she looks upon the
scene of which Thomson wrote:
O vale of bliss! O soitiy swelling hills!
Heavens, what a goodly prospect spreads
around.
Of hills and dales and woods and lawns and
spires
And glittering towns and gilded streams.
It must be really delightful to enjoy this
beautiful panorama at breakfast, dinner
and tea, but faucy the price the divine
satan pays for it! I do not mean the
price in pounds, shillings and pence,
though doubtless that is not a bagatelle,
but in exertion. She drives into town—
about ten miles—every afternoon, and out
again after the performance at night.
Physically, this seemingly frail creature
must really be very strong.
HAUIiING TOO MANY SPECIAL
CARS.
The Wealthy Dudes Overdoing the Busi
ness.
Said an old and very competent super
intendent a day or two ago, to an Indian
apolis Journal reporter, “One of the great
est annoyances I have to contend with is
hauling special cars over our road. There
was a time when only presidents traveled
about the country in special cars; now it
has come to be fashionable lor general
managers, superintendents, chief engin
eers and even general passenger agents
to take a special car whenever they make
a trip.” Should this mania continue he
looked for the time when the bill posters,
the tack hammer brigade, would want to
go about in a special car. He said: “On
our regular trains there are from eight to
eleven cars, and usually two of them are
sleeping coaches, and it is as much as an
ordinary passenger engine can do to haul
fhat number of cars over the grades of
Western roads and make the time which
our express trains are run on.” Said he:
“The other day we had eleven cars on our
train and a connection brought in one of
those d—d special cars with no one in it
but a general passenger agent and his
private secretary. We could not refuse
to haul it and did haul it, but reached our
Western terminus one hour and twenty
minutes late; bad on thirty-six passen
gers for our Western connection, all of
whom were obliged to lay over twelve
hours. The engine would doubtless have
gone through on time but for hauling this
special car, which was just that much
more than the engine had the capacity to
haul. Of course, the passengers cursed
that route and said they never would take
it again, and our manager telegraphed me
to know why train No. was late yes
terday, and in turn I tackled the engineer,
and he answered: “Hitch on a few more
special cars and I can’t make freight train
time with No. 8, as smart as she is.”

1 have several times examined baking powder* in the market to determine their
purity, raising power and influence on the health of those using them. I have uni
formly found DR. PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER the best in all these respects.
I have just made another examination oi the “Royal,’ “Andrews’ Pearl and
“Dr. Price’s Cream,” and the result* are the same as formerly. DR. PRICE’S CREAM
is free from AMMONIA, while the “Royal” and “Andrews’ Pearl” both contain Am
monia. The final reaction of “DR. PRICE’S CREAM” is acid, while the “Royal”
and “Pearl” give an ALKALINE reaction, which LEADS to DYSPEPSIA. Price’s
is a pure, clean and elegant proportion of Cream of Tartar and Bicarbonate of
Soda, and there does “in no wise enter into it anything that defiletb, neither whatso
ever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie.”
In raising power “Price’s” stands at the head.
The relative amount of Carbonic Acid Gas given off by the same weight {lO
grammes) of these powders, heated in the same way, is as follows:
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder 6.W cubic centimeters
The Royal 600 cubic centimeters
Andrews’Pearl 543 cubic centimeters
1 have used PRICE'S in my family for years. “Even if the price is higher
PRICE’S is always the best.”
