THE PROHIBITION CALL.
BASIS OF REPS SENTATION FIXED
BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Two Delegates Each from the District
of Columbia and the Territories
The States to Have Twice as Many
as They Have Representation in the
National Congress—A Fair Propor
tion of Ladies as Delegatee Desired.
Chicago, Dec. 19. —Samuel Dickie,Chair
man of the National Prohibition Commit
tee. to-day issued a call for a national con
vention, to be neld at Indianapolis Wednes
day, dune 6, next.
The call contains the following:
The basis of representation Ims been fixed
by the national committee as follows: Two
delegates from the District of Columbia,
two from each Territory, and from each
State as many as the representation of a
State in both branches of the National Con
gress. Delegates are to be chosen by such
method as may be decided upon in the
various States by State conventions or State
committees, and in the District of Columbia
and Territories by corresponding authority.
A full list of alternates should be chosen in
every case. It is desirable that a fair pro
portion ot ladies be sent as delegates.
Since basis of representation was fixed as
above there has developed a widespread
feeling that the national convention as so
instituted will not be a sufficiently large
body. To meet the case, and yet without
assuming authority to change the basis of
representation, the Executive Committee
would suggest that additional delegates, to
be known as provisional delegates, be se
lected in each State and Territory and in
the District of Columbia on a basis of one
delegate for each 1,000 prohibition
votes, or a major portion thereof,
cast at the last general election,
the term “general election” being construed
to mean in all States, the last election in
which State officers were voted for. The
convention must meet and organize under
the call as previously' determined, and will
possess full power to act upon the question
of seating provisional delegates. Secreta
ries of committees should send to the chair
man of the national committee full lists of
the names and addresses of all delegates as
soon as selected.
THE PETROLEUM SHUT DOWN.
Its Continued Success Established for
One Year.
Titusville, Pa., Dec. 19.—The Herald
will say to-mprrow morning that there can
be no longer any doubt Whatever that the
shut-down movement of petroleum pro
ducers is already, and will continue to be
a success as contemplated—namely, for one
yqgr—which began ou Nov. 1. Several
wealthy producers who held aloof from it
have at last succumbed to the pressure of
public opinion, as well as their own interest,
and agreed to join. The professional
drillers have nearly' all been induced
to join and have agreed not to do any drill
ing whatever, and are to be paid for re
maining idle out of the funds provided by
the Prodtic rs’ Association. 1 his will make
every person connect'd with the producing
business interested in the success of the
shut down. It is calculated that in conse
quence of this movement, as well as on ac
count of the exhaustion of tho best white
sand territory', the total production by
April 1 next will be but little if any over
350,000 barrels per day. The Standard Oil
Company' has joined the producers in this
movement in order to use up the tanked oil.
Upon the whole this is no doubt the strong
est and best organized commercial move
ment ever inaugurated.
SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS.
he Act Revoking a Saloonkeeper’s
License Unconstitutional.
Chicago, Dec. 19.—Judge McAllister this
morning decided that the city ordinance
prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors was
void. A few days ago Oscar Matthia, who
keeps a concert saloon, was arrested for sell
ing wines to Linuie St. Clair, a 10-year-old
girl, who was abducted by a young man
whom she had met in concert saloons. Mat
thia applied for his release under thehalieas
corpus act . The Judge held that that portion
of the ordinance which revokes, the saloon
keepers license on a second offense is uncon
stitutional. Among the grounds for this
opinion are that the genera! incorporation
act does not give the City Council power to
levy tines not to exceed S2OO, and imprison
the offender not to exceed six months. The
forfeiture of the license is neither fine nor
imprisonment. Again, the dram shop act
provides a punishment to saloon keepers
selling to minors, except in cases where the
minor brings a written request from his
parent. The ordinance punished selling or
giving away of drink regardless o||such re
quests, thereby contravening tho statute.
Matthia was disc-h-.rged and the decision
gives great joy to the saloon keepers.
$10,500 IN BONDS RECOVERED.
A Portion of the Boodle Stolen at
Tompkinsville, Ky.
Knoxville, Tens., Dec. 19.—The Chief
cf Police of tr is city, Unlay, found bonds
to the amount of $10,500 secreted under the |
floor of a house recently occupied by bur
glars, who wer captured here last week.
The bonds are part of $55,000 worth stolen
in Tompkinsville, Ky., a few weeks ago,
when that town was sacked ami burned.
One of the five burglars now on his way to
Tompkinsville in custody of a Knoxville offi
cer. to-day made a confession anil told where
hi.-, share of the booty could be found. The
fact was telogr phed to Knoxville and the
bonds were soon found buried in an earthen
jar. A telegram from Glasgow, Ky., slates
that the burglars expect to be lynched as
soon as they reach Tompkinsville. Four of
the five are named Reeves, and their mother
is now under arrest in Knoxville. Two of
them are wanted for the murder of a Sheriff
in Terre Haute, Ind., a year ago. It has
been discovered that they were perfecting a
plot to rob all the banks in Knoxville this
week.
STONE CUTTERS STRIKE.
The Employers Positively Refuse to
Sign tee Scale.
Chicago, Dec. 19.—One hundred and
thirty-three men employed by the Minne
sota Granite Company have quit work. The
men all worked by the piece. Last summer
and fall there was a misunderstanding be
tween the granite cutters and the manage
ment as to the measurement of certaiu
stones to be used on the auditorium build
ing. The Minnesota Granite Company, it is
said, had been conceding little joints rather
than suspend the work. When the com
pany positively refused to accept tho scale
proposed by the employes the union or
dered the nrsn out. Tnere are but seventy
ejgtat cutters, but as they form a nucleus
for fifty-five other men, 133 men were
thrown out of work. Two representatives
of the National Union are here attempting
to affect a compromise. It is not probable,
the employers think, that the strike will last
long. All work is at present suspended ex
cept in the jiolishing department. The com
pany does not at present contemplate an v
importation of nonunion men. The Audi
torium building is the one ill which tho na
tional convention is to be held.

THE DOLL AND ITS HISTORY.
All the Girls Since Moses’ Time Have
Played with Dolls.
from the Philadelphia Times.
Dolls have amused tho world for ages and
seem to have been well known in the days
of the Pharaohs; for, in the tombs of the
ancient Egypt, figures of painted wood, of
terracotta, of ivory, and of rags have
lieen found whose limbs were made mov
able for tho delight of children. It is quite
probable that Pharaoh’s daughter threw
aside a mimic child for the real baby which
she discovered in the famous bull-rush
basket. In the tombs of Etruria —by tho
way, where was Etruria? —similar toys
have been discovered; they were spread in
the East, and in Chins, as well as in India,
movable figures were made to act from time
immemorial by hand and on strings, or as
shadows behind a curtain. The ancient
Greeks were experts in the manufacture of
puppets, including wax dolls, and several of
their poets allude to offerings of dolls to
Artemis and Aphrodite made by maidens
before their marriage.
Pictures of two or three of these crude ef
forts at doll-making are given. They show
that little girls have always had the same
girl-nature they now have, and that older
people have always tried to please and
satisfy it in the same way.
The pupjiets, originally intended to grati
fy children, ended in being a diversion for
adults, and puppet shows attracted a due
amount of attention in the middle ages, ar
riving at such a perfection in the sixteenth
century that their performances rivaled in
attraction those of living actors. Puppet
shows became exceedingly popular in
England in the early part of the last cen
tury, but none more so than those conducted
by Robert Powel, whose perfonuances
were not restricted to London, but were
given in the season at Bath, Oxford and
other places. In London Powei’s puppet
show wa; set up under the piazza at Covent
Garden. The latter is a very ancient mar
ket, but is far more famous from the opera
house that is over the market, where the
finest of operas are given during the fashion
able season.
Po wel’s stage was furnished with a set
scene, wings and sky-borders, and the per
formances took place* by lamplight. When
the curtain rose Powel, wand in hand, took
his place, like the chorus of a Greek play,
to illustrate the performance. Steele hu
morously announced one of these perform
ances by saying that Powel would gratify
the town with the performance of his drama
on the story of the “Chaste Susannah,”
“when would he graced by the addition of
two now elders.” and Thomas Burnet, son of
the famous Bishop, in his dedication of a
severe satire on the ministry of Robert Har
lev. Earl of Oxford, alludes to the great
popularity of Powei’s show. Whether ernot
any dolls were brought over by the Puri
tans, who landed at Plymouth Rock, we do
not know. Thore are said to have been some
brou viit over in the Mayflower, and possi
bly the claim is true, for you know the good
ship sailed from a Dutch port, and Dutch
child!en have for centuries had the best
dolls the world affords. Still there is to be
taken into account the prim notions of the
Puritans. They had no time for play of
any sort, and they were such practical and
work-a-day people that it isdouotfulif they
ever allowed their children to play with
dolls.
However this may be. it is certain that
generations succeeding the Puritans in this
country have not followed in their foot
steps. Millions of dolls are brought across
the country every year to American chil
dren, not to mention the millions that are
manufactured here.
There was a time when there were no
fashion journals, just as there was a time
when there were no newspapers or maga
zines of any sort. The French people then,
as now, originated most of the ladies’ fash
ions for all the world, and, as they had no
way of making pictures of their new styles,
or papers to describe them in, they made up
dolls of the latest French fashions and sent
them all over the world. These poupees, as
the French called them, were thought or so
much importance in England that they
were allowed to lie imported without hin
drance, even in time of war. These dolls
not only showed the cut of the costumes,
but also reproduced faithfully the materials
and trimmings. Some of them were
brought into Pennsylvania and Virginia in
early times, and set the fashions for our
great-grandmothers’ styles in dress. Now
fashions are not only pictured in the news
papers and magazines without number, but
descriptions of them are deemed of suffi
cient. importance to send by telegraph
through tlie cable that lies under the ocean.
“The French poupee still maintains its su
periority in the doll world. Not even the
most fashionable American emporium can
display dolls of home manufacture equaling
in pinkness of complexion, in wealth of
lace, flounces and frilleries, the dolls exhib
ited in Paris. In the manufacture of small
porcelain dolls, arrayed as brides, babies,
shepherdesses, beadles and gendarmes, the
French are also wonderfully skillful. The
more expensive doils, arrayed in lhe latest
fashions, come, in many instances from
Paris, but there are professional and ama
teur doll dressers enough in England who
can successfully compete with the French.
Most of the best dolls in this country, how
ever, do not come from England, for we
hardly look to the English for our styles,
but from France and Germany.
The latter country is famous for the manu
facture of toys and dolls, and the small town
of Sonnolierg, in the Thurmgian forests,
alone produces articles for the amusement
of children to the value of 1150,000 yearly,
ami enough to fill the toy shops of every
quarter of the globe. The different process
in the manufacture of wax dolls can there tie
seen from beginning to end. German ladies
are also expert doll dressers, and there is a
i yearly Christmas exhibition of dolls at
Berlin. A great deal is made of this Berlin
doll exhibition, and society turns out in
numbers to patronize it.
There are whole towns m Germany that
do little else but make dolls for American
children. They are mostly simple country
f< Iks. They get small pay for making even
an excellent doll, but it must be remembered
that their wants ore few. German people
do not stir about as much as Ameri ans,
and it is the traveling and the dresses to
travel in and appear in “style” before the
world that costs. English children buy al
most $1,000,000 worth of dolls from French
and German doll-makers, while the Ameri
can children, not quite all in dolls, however,
buy double that many dollars’ worth every
year. American money paid out for dolls
makes many happy homes among the poor
people of France and Germany at Christmas
time. _

THE PRESIDENT’S STRATEGY.
"The Most Adroit Political Man of the
Last Twenty-five Years.”
Washington Letter Philadelphia Ledger.
This is what a Republican leader, one of
the shrewdest and most far-sighted, said to
me ton lay: "I think the message of Presi
dent Cleveland, was, from the Democratic
standpoint, the opposite of a blunder, and
the most adroit political move of the last
twenty-five years. It virtually nominates
two candidates for the Presidency, Mr.
Cleve.and and Mr. Blaine. I think Mr.
Blaine is the choice of Mr. Cleveland as an
opponent but apart from this the Presi
dent's position, as he has taken it, is of the
highest order of political strategy. To be
gin with, he is certain, in the next election,
of the Mouth. It will continue solid for his
purposes. He Is certain, or thinks he is,
since the last election, of Now
York. 1 believe neither lie nor
his political comrades expect or de
sire the passage of the tariff bil* in hammy
with the principles of his message. That a
bill must pass reducing the surplus he has a
right to deem reasonably certain. He
doubtless expects a bill to pass taking the
tax off tobacco, perhaps the duty in part or
altogether off sugar, may be placing lum
ber aud a few other articles on the free list,
thus reducing the revenues without disturb
ing’the manufacturing interests of the coun
try or alienating the laboring people.
Under feeble protest he will sign such a
bill, and his approval of it would set him
right with the Democrats of the tobacco
belt, the tax on that product being removed,
but leave him all right with Wall street,
money being left freer and the danger of a
panic being averted. From this vantage
ground he will turn to the prairies of Minne
sota and Illinois, and lowa and Nebraska
and tell the farmer how hard he tried bv
his message to take the tax off the food and
clothing and blankets lie must buy for his
family. That is niy theory of the Presi
dent’s policy, for he has a policy, and men
who think him destitute of political sagac
itv are greatly mistaken. In my judgment
I have no doubt, if the Republican party is
true to itself, and from this time courageous
and aggressive, that we can win in the next
campaign.”
AN ECCENTRIC ENGLISHMAN.
Queer Collection Left to an Heir-at-
Law by a Crazy Clergyman.
from the Liverpool Courier.
The other day a memorial slab was
piaced in the Church of Catshoge, Leicester
shire, recording the death of. the Rev. Mr.
Hagamore, a very singular character of the
county, who died in January, 188*5, He left
prop rty behind him valued at £7OO ($3,500)
per annum and £I,OOO in sovereigns, all of
which went to a railroad porter, Mr. Haga
more's heir-at-law.
The queer old man kept one servant of
each sex, v hoin he locked up every night.
His last employment of an evening was to
go round his premises, let loose his dogs and
fire his gun He lost his life as follows:
Going one morning to let out his servants
the dogs fawned upon him and threw him
into a pond, where he was found breast
high. His servants heard him call for assist
ance, but, being locked up, could not assist
him. He had 30 gowns and cassocks, 100
pairs of trousers, 100 pairs of boots, 400
pairs of shoes, 80 wigs, yet always wore his
own "air; 58 dogs, 80 wagons and carts, 80
plows, and used none; 50 saddles and fur
niture for the menage, 30 wheelbarrows, so
many waiking sticks that a toy man offered
£8 lor them, 80 horses and mares, 300 pick
axes and shovels and 349 razors.
MALARIA AND DYSPErSIA CURED
By the Use of Prickly Ash, Poke Root,
Potassium.
After careful observation of the action
of your remedy, P. P. P., I am prepared
to give it my unqualified indorsement as
an alterative of very decided merit. I
regard it, moreover, as one of the best of
remedies for Dyspepsia. I gave it to my
wife for Malaria and General Debility,
and to my surprise she was more liene
fited than by any otuer remedy she bad
tried, especially her Dyspepsia, which
was very distressing and of several years
duration. She seems to have been en
tirely relieved of Dyspepsia, and has
gained flesh rapinly. I prescribe it with
confidence in Rheumatism and other
conditions requiring atonic, and invaria
bly with the most satisfactory results.
Respectfully, J. H. REDDING, M. D.
l)r. Redding is an Eminent Physician of
AVaycross, Ga., and his indorsement is the
result of constant use of this Great Remedy.
P. P. P. is a positive cure for Rheuma
tism. It is a powerful Tonic and builds up
the system rapidly. Try one bottle and be
convinced. For sale by all Medicine
Dealers.
