Washington, March 27.—Senator Ed
munds, who left Washington for the
south on the day tliatcongressadjourned,
has returned, and went "to work in his
committee room at the Capitol during
the day. He dictated a mass of corres
pondence neglected during his absence,
indulged in a long talk with ex-
Senator Evarts in the room of the libra
ry committee, and put in some hard
work on various matters that had been
referred to him.
When a reporter called he found the
Vermont senator in a good natured
mood. When asked if it was true, as
announced in a western paper, that be
was arranging his plans with a view of
resigning his seat in the senate, the sen
ator, who is apparently as vigorous in
mind and body ns when he entered the
senate twenty-five years ago, laughed
and said:
“Well, you know I can’t properly dis
cuss that matter with you, but let me
ask: Did you ever know of a man re
signing from the senate except for the
purpose of attending (o neglected busi
ness interests, and making money by
managing some manufacturing estab
lishment, or enterprise of that sort? No?
*VVeli, neither did I: and that,” added
the senator with a twinkle in his eye,in
dicative of a feeling of ridicule for the
whole subject, “is all I can say about
the report that I am to resign the sena-
torship.”
The senator’s attention was then called
to the statement just published'that bo
is to go on the bench of the supreme
court in place of one of the justices,who
tire and create a vacancy. The
’ laughed heartily at this report,
and replied, with a contemptuous wave
of the hand:
“Really, I never even heard this thing
mentioned before.”
It is the general opinion in Washing
ton that all the talk about Senator Ed-
munds’s resignation grows out of the
fact lhat-he has rented his house for four
years to Senator Washburn of Minne
sota. This he has done because his wife
and daughter find it necessary, owing to
their delicate health, to spend the winter
months in the warm climate of the
south.
The secretary of the senate has made
up the roll of senators and senators elect,
and will next week send out salary
checks for the present month. Under
the law a senator elect whose credentials
have been placed on file is a full-fledged
senator to all iutents and purposes from
the date of the commencement of the
term for which he was elected and is
entitled to his salary from that date.
During a recess checks are, as a rule,
; to the senators every month. There
few cases, however, of sena-
* ir to leave the money in
1 safe until they ask for it.
senators elect, one al-
two yet to be
elected senators who will not draw any
money from the senate cash box until
next December. One of the first men
tioned chiss is David B. Hill, senator
elect from New York, who has not had
his credentials presented to the senate,
and his name is not, therefore, on the
I secretary’s list. Senator Palmer must
go without his salary for eight months
nlso, because he was not elected until
after the senate adjourned. This is the
case, also with Mr. Felton, of California.
Mr. Clagget, of Idaho, who claims to be
a senator elect, is not on the roll, because
his credentials, not having been signed
by the proper state officials, who had
previously signed those of Mr. DuBois,
were regarded as irregular. They were
received by the senate, but were not
placed on ilia. Mr. DuBois is, therefore,
the junior Idaho senator, and will hence
forth, at least until the contest is decid
ed, receive the pay of that office.
There is a vacancy in the senate from
Florida and Maryland. The term of
Wilkinson Call expired on March 4. The
legislature will elect next month, but
whatever the result of the fight now in
progress, there will be but one senator
from the state of the everglades until
next December. The governor of Mary
land has the privilege of appointing a
senator to succeed the late Mr. Wilson,
but will allow the seat to remain vacant
until the legislature meets. Mr. Hill,
Mr. Palmer, Mr. Felton, and the succes
sor of Mr. Call, whoever he may be, will
be recognized as senators to the extent
of consideration being given to such
recommendations us they may choose to
make touching the public business in the
departments and elsewhere, but as far
as legal recognition by the senate offi
cials, is concerned, they are private citi
zens.
Mr. Hill is the only one of the twenty-
six senators who was elected or re-electd
before the 4th of March, last, who did
not have his credentials presented to the
senate before adjournment.

London, March 26.—A dispatch from
St Petersburg tells of a new industry
which is acquiring considerable develop
ment in Russia.
It is that of conversion.
It appears that the Russian govern
ment, not being willing to trust only to
the theological arguments and penal
laws, offers a reward to all Jews who be
come Christians.
The consequence is that a number of
Jews, deprived by the severe enforce
ment of the decrees against their race
of an opportunity to make an honest
living, have entered upon the practice
of being converted at regular intervals,
and receiving each time the government
bounty of fifteen roubles.
One Hebrew named Schwartzkoph has
been at last detected after seven differ
ent conversions in as many different lo
calities.
It happened that a Russian priest to
whom he had made known his desire for
the seventh time for baptism, had been
recently transferred from Elizabethgrad
where the convert bad been baptised
and rewarded only about two mouths
before.

The President Appolut* One Judge During
tbe Congressional Recess.
Washington, March 26. —Tl\e presi
dent has appointed Ivory O. Kimball, of
the District of Columbia, to be United
States judge of the police court of the
District of Columbia, to act until the
end of the next seesion of the United
States senate.
This appointment is made under the
provisions of the local police court act,
approved March 3, 1891, and is signifi
cant inasmuch as it indicates that tbe
president feels legally authorized to fill
a newly created presidential office dur
ing a recess of congress. While the ad
ditional circuit court judges come in
this category, it is not regarded as likely
that these appointments will be made
for several months yet.
Passports Most be Surrendered.
San Francisco, March 26.—The cus
toms officers have put in operation the
law requiring all Japanese immigrants,
in future, to turn over their passports
on their arrival. The retention of the
passports will prevent the sending of
the papers back to Yoka Hama to serve
for the entrance of women who are im
ported for unmoral purposes. Certain
Japanese in this city are suspected of
importing women, and are being closely
watched by the police.

1 FORGET MY PROMISES,
uoap in every spring, and with whom we
are on terms of the closest intimacy, 1
find that it is not regarded as an evi
dence of refinement to squash a fly on
the table by means of one’s knife.
Possibly in New York we may be sn-
persensitive on this question, bnt speak
ing for myself 1 must say that we
have not, for the pact year and a half,
allowed ourselves the ooarae gratifica
tion of squashing flies at meal time, es
pecially when we had any of the corned
heads or Gnelph outfit stopping with ns.
Still, all these things are matters of
taste. 1 had a college friend who be
came a dentist, preferring it, as he said,
to the ministry because he never could
pray worth a cuss on an empty stomach.
Well, he had a preoccupied way of bor
ing out old cavities and wiping off the
apex of his drill on his trousers. This
did not cut into his practice where he
was, but one day he outgrew the town
and wore a high hat. He said that he
was sick of perusing the wide sweep of
the Farmers’ Alliance tonsil, so be sold
his cow and moved to a flat on Lexing
ton avenue looking east.
He looked out the window there for a
few months, thinking and banting.. Then
a young lady from near the Forty-second
street reservoir came to get her month
surveyed. In the mirror she saw him
wipe his instrument on a bald spot
just forward of the portable mantel on
which he was wont to scratch his
matches mostly, and with a wild scream
she fled with a rubber dam in her
month and a tinker’s dam in her port-
monie with which to pay the dentist.
She was caught on Fifth avenue a half
hour later, and pulled out from under
one of Colonel Jewdeeprit Shepard's
portable sawmills.
Bnt her mind was gone.
So has tbe dentist.
Yon see that these matters are largely
local in their nature. British Columbia
customs may sanction certain practices
which on Beacon street or Madison ave
nue would be coughed down. Now, for
instance, we had a fashion in my native
town of regarding it as a personal insult
if your guest left a heel tap or dregs,
even if yon left one dreg in your glass.
Your host bad a right to feel hurt and
to regard it as a mild contempt for your
rum. Bnt when I began to move around
restlessly in good society, and exhibit
my earnest and hearty indorsement of
the wine by approving of it in the crude
way to which 1 had been accustomed, a
swift footed garcon filled the glass again
and kept me approving the host’s good
taste till my remarks were not logicaL
I would start ont with a good premise,
and before i could reach a conclusion
the premise would escape my mind,
learn now that it is not correct to drink
the entire contents of one’s glass unless
one wants to do so very much indeed.
One should sip the liquid—if at all—
slowly through one’s mustache, mean
time looking far. far away, as if trying
to recall the name of the brand; bnt
never should one eat or drink as if one
took any interest in it. That is excess
ively vulgar. Eat with a preoccupied
and tiddledewinks air, as one would

Estacado Jesus de Fonseca, of Conejos
county, Colo., writes to know “Who is
Jerry Simpson, the newly elected states
man now in Washington, and what are
his qualifications as a lawmaker?"
Jeremiah Simpson is the congressman
from the Seventh district of Kansas. He
is a native of New Brunswick, and
fourteen years of age went to sea, where
he became a victim to the habit of going
ntterly without socks. He takes great
pride in his well turned mahogany an
kles and richly carved legs. At full
dress parties and receptions the coming
season he will offset the low corsage of
the finely formed Washington belles by
wearing a set of high cut panties, reveal
ing his well groomed though still slightly
chapped ankles.
He was mate of a large bark at the
age of twenty-two years, and thirteen
years ago left the eea to locate a place in
Kansas. The Sockless Cicero of Kan
sas, as be is playfully called, was largely
in his later years a fresh water sailor,
and his last vessel was wrecked off Lod-
ington, on Lake Michigan, and all on
board were saved through the heroism
of the captain.
Captain Jerry Simpson is now a farm
er, and it is said was elected because h<*
showed on the stump his sockless condi
tion, claiming that he was so poor and
honest that he could not afford socks.
His successor will doubtless be a plain
man, who will go about canvassing the
Seventh district and wiping his nose on
the top rail of the fair ground fence be
cause he is bo plain and poor that he
cannot afford a handkerchief.
teonth street museum who has a heavy
sorrel mane down her spinal column, the
Sockless holds the age on public notice.
Colonel Marsh Merdock was the first
to discover that Jerry did not wear
socks. The two went in swimming to
gether during the campaign, and then
the secret got out. The Great Un
socked owns 640 acres of land, which is
ftita year all into wheat, or nearly so at
least.
He also owns several head of bright
young heifers, several of whom will en
ter the milch arena this spring. Mr.
Simpson is the author of a small bine
book on “The Care of the Cow, and Ud
der Information Generally.” It is dedi
cated to Thomas Brower Peacock, the
poet of Topeka.
I am indebted for most of the above
facts to Mr. Simpson’s Medicine Lodge
biographer and chiropodist, who wishes
me to say that he treats all troubles of
the feet, snoh as corns, bunions and in
growing nails, chilblains, quarter crack,
etc., etc., by mail as well as personally.
He has a bust of Mr. Simpson’s foot at
his place, and cheerfully answers all
questions regarding the great man.
Mr. Simpson is the humorous feature
of the new and powerful movement
which seems to create general mirth,
bnt there is a power and a principle be
hind it all to which it will be profitable
to pay attention. It may not win this
tune nor next tune, bnt when itdoee
win tbe professional politician will do
well to get into bis cyclone cellar and
spread his umbrella.
Charles Lederer, Chicago, writes: “I
am an artist, and have very little exer
cise indeed. What would yon advise?
Do yon favor bowling? Did yon ever
bowl any?”
Yes, Charles, I have bowled in the
happy past I favor it Bowling builds
np a person real well Yon will find a
good bowling clnb near the Germania,
on the North Side, where a lot of talent
ed cusses go for to bowL 1 removed my
dressing sacqne and bowled there one
evening quite a while. The city libra
rian was present He asked me to bowl.
I had never before bowled. At the end
of a long, straight, convex alley stood
several wooden pins, which it is the ob
ject of the player to knock over by
means of large, heavy balls also made of
wood. If .the player can at the same
time also mutilate a small mulatto boy
who sets up the pins much mirth is
added to the game. 1 went there need
ing exercise, and got so much of it
that I have not needed any at all ever
since. I did not knock over any pins,
but 1 got the exescUe.
A few days afterward 1 met the hoary
headed librarian on the street He said,
“I must tell yon that we had a job put
up on yon at the Bowling clnb the other
night”
“Ah!” said 1 cheerily. “What was itT
“Well, we arranged a string in front
of the pins so that we could throw your
ball off the track every time, and thus
we could prevent your getting a single
pin even by accident But,” he added,
with a tremendous sigh that was almost
a sob, “it was not much of a success.”
“Why?"
“Why? Why because your ball never
got to the string.”
Yet 1 regard bowling as a healthful
exercise, and far superior to the mutila
tion of scroll saw brackets and members
of the family by means of Indian clubs.
1 have also tried dnmb bells. A very
large one is now holding my door shnt

I used to have a health lift, but our re

so I swapped it for a 2-year-old steer,
whose tail it was my blessed privilege
to twist at early dawn each gladsome
morn for six weeks, and together we
would go around the straw pile at a
high rate of speed. I was never thrown
among a brighter or more piquant
steer during my public life.
Exercise is a great boon. It keeps a

can hardly do any harm if not carried
to excess. I have received great benefit

The Knee Sprang Hone—Some of the
Causes of This Disease, with Directions
tor Its Prevention and Caro—How an
Affected Animal Stands.
The exact cause of this disease has
never been clearly made ont; it general
ly appears as if the ligaments and band
ages of the knee had become strained
and enlarged, in which also the front
and back sinews may become involved
by over exertion of those parts, when the
bones of the knee joint being no longer
properly retained in their places become
bulged or sprang forward. Young horses
subject to an excess of hard- polling be
fore they are matured are liable to in
jure their knees in this manner and
care should be token not to overtask
them under the age of seven years.
Horses employed in constant “np hill”
work or suffered to stand in stalls where
the fall is considerable and the floor
hard,exerting the
muscles of the
legs and keeping
the ligaments in
a tense state,
would be exposed
to a bowing ont

the disease becomes chronic a radical
cure may become impossible, bnt taken
in time it can be cured.
Rnssell, the authority for the fore
going, in his work on scientific horse
shoeing, advises, in dressing for this dis
ease, to pare the foot level and lower it
to its proper angle. The shoe should be
narrow in the web and as light as can
be safely worn, being also well concaved
on the ground surface and adjusted as
far back at the heel as tbe safety of the
foot may seem to require. A style of the
scoop toed shoe or the scoop toed Tolling
motion shoe should be used; though, if
toe and heel calkins are necessary, use
the four calkin shoe. Either of these
patterns, by shortening the ground sur
face at the toe and strengthening the
knee when the horse is moving forward,
will relieve the strain and enable him
the better to pass his feet over nneven
ground surface, which is sometimes the
canse of twisting and Btraining the al
ready in j urea parts. Another means of
farthering a core is to feed the horse
from the ground. This will have the
effect of throwing the animal’s weight
more directly over his limbs, and thus
assist nature, in a manner, to retrench
the enlargement in the knee bandages.
Sowing Grass Seed in the Spring.
If spring seeding is to be done make
the necessary arrangements in advance,
so that the seeding can be done early. If
grass and clover seed are to be grown
together sow the grass seed a week or
ten days before sowing the clover. Use
plenty of seed, for one of the essential
items in securing the most profitable
crop with grass is to have a good, even
stand, and to secure this it is necessary
to use plenty of seed.
When sowing for meadow it is best to
keep each variety of grass separate. With
the exception of orchard grass and clover
no two varieties. of grass ripen at the
same time, and if one is cat at the right
stage the other will be a little too green
or too ripe. Orchard grass and clover
ripen together, and can be sown together
to an advantage, the orchard grass help
ing in many cases to prevent the clover
from lodging. Orchard grass, clover,
timothy and red top stand first as the
principal grasses sown for hay, and they
should be the foundation grasses for all
meadows or grass fields.
One of the beat times to sow grass or
clover seed is when the soil is thawing
and freezing alternately night and day.
Timothy or rodtop, and sometimes clover,
is sown on winter wheat Others prefer
to sow oats and then sow clover, bnt the
objection to this plan is that when the
crop is harvested it leaves the grass
plants exposed to the hot rays of the
son, and as it is often the case that there
is more or less drought at this time, the
plants are either seriously injured or en
tirely killed mA—American Cultivator.

the hypnotist, who was said to have secret of bis being the head and front o!
performed wonders with an opium- t,le oppositien to Alliance President
Livingston. He makes no boast, of
course—that isn’t the Governor’s style
On the contrary he maintains adignii
fled silence and when questioned h»i
“nothing to say.’’
The publication of his letter to the
editor of the New York Mail and Ex.
press, making inquiries about tfcj
sketch of Colonel Liviugston which ap.
pe&red in that paper, has been the !Ait
of the town today. The Governor’,
action in writing the letter is utilized
by his enemies as a piece of
bad policy, to say the fcut
of it; but bis friends
that tbe Governor acted in that matter
simply as a private citizen and did no
more thanybody else would have done.
Of course there are two sides to every
political controversy and so it is in this
Why did the Governor want to know
about tha. sketch and what is there in
it? The answer to the questions seenu
to give the cue to the manner of the
fight-that is to be made on Livingston
at the next session of the State Alliance
The only clause in that sketch to which
the Governor can take exceptions is th,
statement made of Livingston that he
“is the real editor the Southern Allis-
ance Farmer.” There is no other
to .which, so far as I
cm see he can take exceptions to.
Now the fight on Harry Brown and the
farmer made to a great extiut by men
who could not get their matter into tbe
papers is to be transferred, it seems to
Colonel Livington.
That seems to be the gist of the nut
ter.
taker, and after a great deal of persua
sion he was induced to pay the hypno
tist a visit.
Brown knew his man, and he exer
cised his will power upon the palate of
tbe heir apparent to millions. He was
kept under hypnotic influence for sev
eral hours, aDd when he was brought
back to his senses he was told to go and
drink no more.
The admonition was unnecessary. He
could not drink. He made a vigorous
effort but failed. The liquor acted on
him as an emetic.
That was isix weeks ago and he has
not tasted a drop since. Before this he
had to be put to bed five nights out of
seven.
Young Fair then took his younger
brother, Charles, to Brown, and he too,
was put under the spell. In his case it
id so worked like a charm and he devel
oped an intense dislike for liquor. He
told the World representative that so
sick of liquor is he that the swinging
doors of a saloon fairly nauseate him.
There is no happier man ou the coast
than Senator Fair.

WHAT XS
SCROFULA
It Is that impurity In the blood, which, ac
cumulating in the glands of the nock, pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers In tho
eyes, ears, or nose, rften causing blindness oi
deafness; which Is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
Hons usually ascribed to “humors;” which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it Is the
most general of all diseases or affections, fox
very few persons are entirely tree from it.
