Secretary Noble deserves well of the country; he caused Tanner to be bounced. Thanks. The Virginia dog with two tails is perhaps another sitrn of the growth of the country under Mr. Harrison. A citizen of AVellsville, Ohio, now 74 years old, boasts that he has never paid a cent, to a lawyer, doctor or minister. If the literature sent out by New York, Chicago and St. Louis, is to be believed each is the center of the United State. The men who have been selected on the Cronin jury will get excused, on account of old age, before the jury is completed. The lessees dare not attempt to dismantle the State road. But that is no reason why the State should not carefully consider their claims. If all the railroads for which chart ers have been granted in Georgia were built, the State would be laterally gridironed with roads. Campbell is climbing over Foraker in Ohio. It begins to look as if Campbell would down the bloody shirtcr for governor. ^ Many have an idea tnat they are serving the Lord when they are med dling with what is none of their busi ness.—Texas Siftings. The leaves are turning; absent sum mer tourists are turning homeward; Northern visitors arc turning South ward, but the Georgia legislator turns not toward his constituents. Heed, of Maine, and McKinley, of Ohio, are the leading candidates for speaker of the next house. There is but little choice between rotten apples. South Georgia, in ten years, will be the most prosperous and attractive portion of the State. This section is just on the eve of a development which will attract thousands to its healthful borders. Chicago ought to advertise: How- We-Get-a-J u ry-To-Try-a-M urderer, as one of the attractions for the great exposition in 1892. They will, judging from the progress being made, be still hammering away at the Cronin jury, in that year of our Lord. l’icsident Elliott, of Harvard Uni versity, is the latest accession to demo cratic ranks. He Ins always been a republican. And now the republicans Bay he is no longer fit to be at the head of that great educational insti tution. - Harrison now has a man ill the pension office, who will squander the jieople’s money without boasting about it. Boasting about it, is what con tribulcd to bocsting Tanner. The ofleusc was not in squandering the people’s money. That is all right— from n republican stand point. That looks discouraging.—It is fig ured that it would take $100,000,000 to give every poor person in the world an oyster stew, a roast of beef and a mince pie, and the philanthropist with a cash capital of $7 may well feel dis couraged.—Detroit Free Press. From the Times-Star. Electrical engineer Harold P. Brown, of 45 Wall street, New York, has completed the electrical apparatus to be used in the executian of Joseph Kemmler, the convicted murderer, who will be the first man to die under the new law, providing that hereafter in that state, the death penalty shall be administered by electricity instead of by banging. Kemmler is confined in the Auburn prison, and will be shocked into eternity on any day of the week the warden may select. A Wcstingliouse dynamo, with an alternating current will be used. Kemmler will be seated on a raised platform in a reclining chair, to the back of which he will be fastened by straps around his body. A rubber cap that will cover allsof his head but the face will then be slipped on the condemned man. In the center of the cap, at the base ot the brain, is a metal cone, perforated, to which the electric wire is fastened. While at tendants are fixing on the cap and at taching the wire, others will remove the prisoner’s shoes and socks, repiac mg them with sandals, the soles of which are ot metal. Then Kemmler’s feet will be fastenhd to a metal foot rest to which other wires will be at tached. While these arrangements are being made, the electrician will, b> means of an ingenious contrivance concealed in the chair, learn the maxi mum resistance of the prisoner, and so be able to tell just how many volts strong the current must be 'o destroy him. Previous to being led into the death chamber the prisoner will be allowed whatever opportunity he desires for- relfgious consolation and farewells When placed in the chair, only the officers and physicians allowed by law will be present. The dynamo and ap paratus will be concealed in an adjoin- ng room. There will be a loophole through the wall, so that the engineer can watch the progress of the pro ceedings and be ready at the proper moment to turn on the death-dealing current, should there, through nervou- ness or any other cause, he a mistake in signaling. At the last moment a black cloth will be laid over the con demned man’s face, and an instant later will follow the signal to turn on the current. It is estimated that these arrange ments will occupy at least five minu-es time. When the current is turned on death is supposed to follow instanta neously, but whether it will or not only ihe experience of Kemmler can deter mine. The carrying of the electrical cur rent to a metal cap, adjusted as shown in the dcscriptian, and to slippers with metal soles makes the victim the connecting link in the chain of death dealing lightning the moment the flash is released by the operator. He is struck by lightning, just as if a flash should descend upon him from the clouds. The quickness of death makes it absolutely painless. SNOW IN MINNESOTA. Farming Will Pay. You often hear it said by farmers themselves,” remarked Mr. Hand, of Mitchell, at the opera house one night last week, “that there is no money in a farm. ‘It’s a living,’ they say, ‘and no more.’ Now, that’s all a mis take. I have some money in the lumber business, and it pays well enough. I have some money in sev eral other investments. I have exper imented with them, ann I tell you that, with proper care and worked farming pays better than any other oc cupation in proportion to the capital invested. It is better than bonds. It beats being a lawyer. It’s better than sawmilling. It’s better than merchandising.”—Constitution. Happy thought: Slanzer—I’d like to know how to get this poem publish ed.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21.—The House changed its mind this after noon on the question of final adjourn ment, and is now disposed to think that business can be completed Nov. 2. A resolution adopted Friday, but reconsidered, fixed the date as Nov. 7, if the lease act passed. This after noon the House changed the date to Nov. 2, and adopted the resolution. It is understood that the Senate will take the same action. The conference committee on bet terments this afternoon agreed to make a report to-morrow morning. The report will be confined strictly to a written statement of the betterments claim submitted by President Brown, and the written arguments of Messrs. Stahlman, Gumming and Wright. The committee will recommend that nothing hut the claim statement go on the journal. FAST TRAINS SOUTH. Tho Rapid Traveling Tourists Will Do This Winter. The Plant system’s growth in traffic, both passenger and freight, necessitated the putting on has Struck it Right. From the Detroit Free Press. - Our subscribers have been both sur prised and pleased at the way we have hit the weather for the last two weeks. We didn’t expect to do so well in the start off, as the only instru ment we had was an old horseshoe, a two-foot rule and a war map of the battle of Gettysburg, but we made no mistake. Our first prediction was that the following week would be cold, clear, cloudy, warm and variable, with pos sibly rain. Wc hit it, even to the variable Site varied from a frost to such a hot night that everybody kicked the quilts off. The rain didn’t last but three days, hut that was sufficient to let us out. Our second prediction also hit it pat. We predicted winds, calm, sun shine, clouds, high pressure over the Artie ocean and low pressure around the mouth of the Amazon, with a considerable wobble between here and the Pacific. She wobbled. We got just what wc expected, and from this on we arc going ahead like a scared jack rabbit hunting for cover. Watch our smoke. ot several additional trains this win ter. Not only lias the traffic in the southern territory been increased, but the system’s western connections have been largely increased, bringing a vast amount of western traffic over it. The Alabama Midland, not yet more than half completed, is already transferring to the Savannah, Florida & Western Railway a large portion of its western and lower Alabama business, and with the extension of the newline will come increased business. The Plant system had an eye to this increase when the officials suddenly real ilzed that important business called them north some days ago. Supt. R. G. Fleming, who has just returned, said that arrangements have just been made whereby the ablity of the road to handle the great business has been strengthened. The superintendent said yesterday, that at present the passenger travel to the south is absorbing the Sa vannah, Florida & Western railway’s attention. From all indications the travel this season will be unparall eled. In view of this, two extra through passenger trains (from New York to Savannah and Jack sonville will be put on next month. This number of trains will be sup plemented in January by the vestibule train, making .three fast trains direct from New York to Savannah and Florida. The schedule, Supt. Fleming said, •will be a very fast one, and the ac commodations the best ever offered- The fast mail, known as No. 27, will run about the same schedule as at present. The train known as No. 23 will leave New York at 4:40 o’clock in the morning and will arrive in Jack sonville at 11 o’clock the next morning. No. 15, one of the new trains, which will be put on Nov. 10, will leave New York at 3:30 in the morning and will arrive in Savannah at 12:30 in the af ternoon of the next day. These are the three south-bound trains. The north bound train will pass Jacksonville at 12:25 o’clock in the evening, 1:03 in the morning and j:45 in the afternoon. A fast train, known No. 66, will also t . be put on from New York to Florida. Train No. 15 will be a last and very desirable train, Supt. Fleming said. It will allow passengers to breakfast in New York one morning, and enable them to dine in Savannah on the next day, being only one night out. No. 14 is the old train. Passengers getting early dinner here will be able to get supper the next day in New York. The service will be far above any railroad service that has ever been afforded from the north to the south. The vestibule train will be put on Jan 13. As usual, this train will be the most elegantly equipped that comes south. In addition to having one of the fastest trains on the road, its accommodations are such that the most fastidious travelers cannot com plain. Capt. Fleming said that while it is not sure that putting on the additional trains from the north will necessitate other schedules, it may be that ad ditional trains will have to be put on the branches and connecting lines opera ted by the Plant system. The fast trains will have an average speed of about 37J miles an hour. It is under stood, however, that the fastest sched ule ever Known between Savannah and Jacksonville will be inaugurated this season. Already the Savannah, Flori da & Western railway has the fastest record of any southern road, and its record is faster than that of many of the northern roads. On some parts of its line passenger trains have run a mile in less than a minute. Some of its freight trains have schedule of over twenty-two miles an hour. The Devil Quotes Scripture. Mahone’s latest trick is worthy of him. The Viginia outcast is determined to win at all hazards, and his methods are unscrupulous and desperate. # Some weeks ago he obtained a list of the names of all the negro preachers in the sute. To each address he has sent a secret circular. This circular is the most remarkable campaign document of this or any other age. Mahone’s object in addressing the negro preachers is to call their atten tion to several chapters of Joshua. He refers to the following passage in the seventeenth chapter: “Hut the mountains shall lie thine, tor it is a wood, anil thou slialt cut it down, and the outgoings of it shall be thine, lor thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and though they lie strong.” In the eighteenth chapter this pas sage is pointed out: And there remained among tile children of Isreal seven tribes which had not received their inheritance, and Joshua said unto the children of Israel; “How long are ye slack to go to possess the land which the Lord God ot your fathers hath given you?” And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh be fore the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.” This is worse than the old forty acres and a mule business. The negroes in Virginia are great believers in Jos’t ua, since the Rev. John Jasper told them how that prophet halted the sun, and the chapters recommended them by Mahone are understood as the promise of a division of the lands of the whites among the colored people. Some ol their ministers tell them that they are one of the seven tribes that have not received their inheritance, and the weaknesses of these deluded people are being played upon in every possible way.—Constitution. Down Where tho Fires Range. Snn Francisco Argonaut. Professor Jones answers (in an Eng lish newspaper) the question raised as to whether the tapping and drilling of the earth for oil, that is going on in America is dangerous or not—that is . to say, likely to let out the internal ( fires of the earth to play havoc with the surface far and wide. He com pares the earth to a balloon floated and kept distended by the gas inside, which if exhausted, will cause the earth to collapse, affect the motion of the earth on its orbit, cause it to lose its place among the heavenly bodies and fall into pieces. Another writer thinks that drilling should be prohibited by stringent laws. The scientist says an immense cavity ex ists, and that here the gas is stored; that a mile below the bottom of the cavity is a mass of roaring, seething flame, which is gradually eating into the rock floor of the cavity and thin ning it. Eventually the flames will reach the gas and a terriffic explosion will ensue. The similie of the earth being like a balloon is not very solid. Why not weigh the earth and settle the question of solidity? The scien tist can weigh the sun and moon; the figures are long, but the result is worth the trouble. Skins on Fire.

An exchange, says: “The smile is the same in all languages.” It varies in our land, however, in the matter of size, from half a finger, in New Orleans, to four fingers in Bos ton. The Boston Herald remurks that there are large tracts of land in Ver mont, New Hampshire, Maine, Con necticut, and even in Massachusetts, where to-day you can buy a farm for a song, and where Finns, Swedes, Icelanders or French Canadians are cordially invited to succeed the Anglo- Saxons, who have run away to engage in more lucrative enterprises.
