A Pointer for Roy*.
“There is a science in doing little
things just right,” said a down-town
business man to a reporter for the New
York Sun a few days ago, “and I notice
it in my office. I had two office boys
there whose main duty it was to bring
me notes or cards that were sent in to
me, or to fetch things that I wanted to
use. One of those boys, whenever I
sent him for a book or anything heavy,
would walk rapidly by my desk and toss
it indefinitely toward me. If it happened
to miss me and land on my desk it was
all right. If it fell on the floor the
boy always managed to fall over it in his
eagerness to pick it up. Then if he had
a letter or a card to deliver he would
come close up to the desk and stand
there scanning it over with minute
care. This being concluded he would
flaunt it airly in my direction and de¬
part.
“The other boy always came and
ivent so that I could hardly hear him.
If it was a hook, ink-stand or box of
letters he would sit quietly down at
one side of my desk.
“Letters and cards he always laid—
not tossed—right, where my eyes would
fall on them directly. If there was
any other doubt in bis mind about
whether he ought to lay a letter on my
desk or deliver it to some other person
in the office, liu always did tho think¬
ing before he came near me, and did
not stand annoyingly at my elbow
studying the letter. That hoy under¬
stood the science of little things.
AVhen New Year’s came he got 810.
The other boy got fired.”— Ex.

DAIRY PROCEEDINGS OF BOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
The Discussion of Important Measures
Briefly Epitomized.
In the house, Wednesday, unanimous
consent was refused for the considera¬
tion of McGann’s resolution for tlio
investigation by y joint committee of
congress of tho causes of the present
industiial depression, and after a eall
of the committees for reports, the
house in committee of the whole, con¬
tinued tho consideration of the agri¬
cultural appropriation bill.
In the house, Thursday, the bill 1890, re¬
pealing section 9 of the act of
governin'/ **. display of lights and
sis/" J vessels at sea, with a view
t> s> Eventing collisions was passed.
This was made necessary, it was ex¬
plained, by reason of the failure of
Great Britain to observe the agree¬
ment of the International Marine Con¬
ference of 1889. The house then, at
12:30, went into committee of the
whole to further consider the agricult¬
ural appropriation bill.
The first half hour of Friday’s ses¬
sion of the house was spent in passing
a resolution to give tho committee on
railways and canals a clerk. That
having been accomplished, the legisla¬
tive and judicial appropriation bill for
the year ending June 30, 1895, was
taken np in committee of the whole.
Under an agreement reached by tlm
leaders after an hour's skirmish¬
ing general debate on the bill was
closed at 5 o’clock, and the house
voted to adjourn over Saturday. occupied The
most of the afternoon was
with a discussion of the matter of
“docking” members for absent days,
which took a wide rauge. At 5 o’clock
tlio houso took a recess until 8 o’clock,
the evening session to be for the con¬
sideration of private pension and relief
bills.
The house, in committee of the
whole, considered the legislative, exec¬
utive and judicial appropriation bills
under the five minute rule Monday.
THE (SENATE.
In the senate, Wednesday, Mr.
Lodge offered a resolution reciting a
statement in the New York Sun that
bribes had been offered to certain sen¬
ators to induce them to vote against
the pending tariff bill, and signed ar¬
ticles in a Philadelphia paper stating
that tlio sugar schedule laid -r.wde,
up as it now stands i" consideration of
a large sum money paid democratic for cam¬
paign purposes of the
party, providing for the appoint
mel ,+ of a committee of five senators
(.., investigate those charges. The
vice president asked Mr. Lodge what
notion he desired. Mr. Lodgo replied
that he asked for the present consid¬
eration of the resolution. Mr. Cock
rill—-“Let it be printed and lie on the
table.” And under the rule the reso¬
lution went over until Thursday. The
tariff bill was taken up at noon, the
pending question being item number
27, of the chemical schedule, “flaxseed
or linseed and poppy seed oil, raw,
boiled or oxidized, 15 cents per gal¬
lon.”
The senate at Thursday’s session
adopted a resolution providing for the
investigation of tlie charges of bribery
in connection with the tariff bill, and
the charges that the sugar trust has
interfered with legislation. The latter
part of the resolution was materially
amended so as to include tho fact
whether or not the sugar trust has
made any contributions to campaign
or election purposes to any party, or
to secure or defeat legislation on the
tariff bill. The tariff bill was taken ixp
at noon, and Mr. Gallingor spoke
against it.
In the senate, Friday, the resolution
for meetings of the senate at 10 a, ru.
daily, was taken up and agreed to
without question or division. Imme¬
diately afterwards, however, a discus¬
sion was started by Mr. Sherman who
was not in the chamber when it was
offered, and knew nothing of the cir¬
cumstances. In the course of the dis¬
cussion, Mr. Frye expressed the opin¬
ion that it was the duty of the repub¬
lican side to defeat the tariff bill and
resort to any and all parliamenta¬ had
ry methods in doing so. He
not been able, however, to persuade
the republican side that that was the
true policy to pursue, Oil the con
trary, it seemed to be the determina¬
tion till of the republican side to permit
the to come to a vote after fair
consideration.’ The discussion closed
with frank notice to the democratic
side of the chamber, by Air. Chandler,
not to act upon the theory that it had
been decided by tho repnblicanlside they
either that they would or that
would not filibuster against the pass
aero of the bill. The resolution was
voted on a second time and agreed to,
and then, at 12:15, consideration of
the tariff bill was resumed.
In the senate Saturday the tariff bill
was taken up and Mr. Gnllinger de¬
livered tho third portion of his speech closed
against the bill. Mr. Gallinger
at 1 p. m., and the regular considera¬
tion of tho tariff bill began.
At 10:30 Monday morning the tariff
bill was taken up, the pending question
being the first item in schedule “C,”
metals and manufacturers of iron and
steel, placing iron ore on dutiable list

England not only fr< wool, free coal,

coxr.Y IX JAIL.
BROWNE AND JONES WILL KEEP
HIM COMPANY.
They Go from the Washington Police
Court Handcuffed.
Ooxey, Browne and Jones were sen¬
tenced by Judge Miller in the Wash¬
ington polieo court Monday afternoon
to twenty days in jail for violating the
statute of the United States prohibit¬
ing the display of partisan banners in
the capitol grounds, and Coxey and
Browne were fined go each additional
for trespassing on tho grass, the alter¬
native being another ten days in jail.
Jones was acquitted on this last charge.
The proceedings preliminary to the
passing of sentence were in line with
the series of extraordinary incidents
that have marked the whole trial.
Judge Miller asked the usual ques¬
tion whether tho defendants had any¬
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed.
Bepresentative Hudson, of Kansas,
one of Coxey’s counsel, immediately
rose and delivered a political address.
As an American citizen, he said, he
could iii it help stating that lie had con¬
siderable contempt for the government
in its prosecution of this ease. Every
point had been decided against the de¬
fendants.
Browne then addressed the court,
comparing tho jury to those who had
participated in the crucifixion. Ho
finally said he believed the few hours
or days or months he would pass in
jail would do more to help the cause
than his feeble voice could.
Then tho judge told the defendants
that he could send them to jail for 190
days and fine them $900 each, but he
would not do so. Ho wished, he said,
that Coxey and Browne had so de¬
meaned themselves that more than a
nominal sentence would not he neces¬
sary, but their demeanor in court had
changed this fooling. Judge Miller
then imposed tho sentence given above
of twenty days’ imprisonment in flic
district jail for all three defendants
and $5 fine or ten days additional im¬
prisonment for Coxey and Browne.
IN THE “BLACK MAMA.”
At five minutes of 2 o'clock, Coxey,
Browne and Jones, with handcuffs on
their wrists,were placed in the “Black
Maria” with a dozen white and negro
workhouse laborers, who were not
handcuffed, ns companions, and the
van immediately conveyed them to tho
jail.
Before going to the police court to
receive sentence, and apparently with¬
out any anticipation of the actual out¬
proclamation, come, Coxey prepared an elaborate
which ho furnisliod to
the press.
HIKES NOMINATED.
THE POPULISTS OF GEORGIA
NAME HIM FOR GOVERNOR.
Other State House Officers ffcleclcil.
Tlio Platform.
The people’s party of Georgia met
in state convention nt Atlanta and
nominated Judge J. K. Hines, of At¬
lanta, for Governor. Tlio following
state house officers wero named: Dr.
A. L. Nance, of Gainesvilo, Hall
county, for secretary of state; C. M.
Jones, of Bartow county, for treasurer;
W. It. Kemp, of Emanuel, Mohaffey, for comp¬
troller-general; J. D. of
Jackson, for attorney-general; James
Barrett, of Biehmond, for commis¬
sioner of agriculture.
THE PLATFORM.
Tho platform as adopted began by
laying that the people’s party believed
in tho democratic principles of gov¬
ernment laid down by Thomas Jeffer¬
son. The next proclamation Was that
all men were created equal and alike,
and that, entertaining that belief, tlie
people’s party believed iu all tho other
propositions laid down by tlie consti¬
tution of tho United States and by
Jefferson.
“We are amazed that the business
men of the country are willing to give
national banks thogovernment’s money
at one per cent and let them charge
the people eight per cent in return,”
was tho next proposition, after which
came a declaration for a graduated in¬
come tax.
Then followed a number of clauses,
all of which began “like Jefferson, we
believe,” and the beliefs in these
clauses covered tho platforms hereto¬
fore adopted by the populists’ national
conventions.
Then after a denunciation of the
democratic party and the democratic
administration the following procla¬
mations in connection with reforms in
tho state of Georgia were made:
For the abolition of the convict
lease system.
For the furnishing by the state of
school books in state’s schools and for
payment of tho teachers monthly.
For an Austrnliuii ballot law, with
provisions for the protection of the
rights of the blind and illiterate.
The next clause condemned tho ac¬
ceptance of railroad passes by public
officers, state anil national.
The report closed with a pledge to
support the principles laid down by
tbe third party in the past by invoking
the blessings of God.

DISASTROUS FLOODS
FURIOUSLY SWEEPING PENN¬
SYLVANIA VALLEYS.
Many Houses Submerged and People
Fleeing for Their Lives,
Special dispatches from Williams¬
port, Pa., contain advices of disastrous
floods in tho Pennsylvania valleys.
With the horrors of tho disastrous
flood of 1889—that which spread death
and destruction throughout the valleys
—brought, back to memory by tho
threatened danger of a sweep of water
that promises to ho as great as that of
live years ago. Tho people of Wil¬
liamsport and all through tho West
branch valley are in a state of panic
that has turned the usually quiet Sun¬
day into one of remarkable excite¬
ment.
Since Friday night a steady and
almost continuous downpour of ruin
has been swelling all the streams, and
lato Saturday night numerous cloud¬
bursts along tho Pine crook and other
tributaries of tho West branch of tho
Susquehanna have made it impossible
to confine the water within the hanks
of tho streams. It has, therefore,
spread out over tho country, and from
every point is pouring into tint main
river.
Tho fact that tho water would rush
down upon tho city in tho dark hours
of tho night added an additional ele¬
ment of horror to tho situation. 1 n
anticipation, however, of what was ex¬
pected, tho tiro and church bolls of the
city wore rung at 10 o’clock Sunday
morning to notify the people of tho
impending danger, and since that hour
tho work of preparing for tho worst
has boon in progress. Tn tho hundreds
of homes that were submerged live
years ago tho people are moving out
and storing their goods m the houses
of those living on the highlands. The
business part of the city was hundreds a complete
wreck live years ago and of
merchants are moving their stock to
places of safety.
I.lIMIlUn UOOMH 1IIUCAK.
Four miles of the track of tho Glen
Union Lumber Company have boon
swept away. Tins “boom” at Lock
haven has broken and 15,000,000 feet
of logs have been lost. Tho upper
Linden boom also broke at 5:30 o’clock
Sunday afternoon. It contained 10,
000,000 feet of logs and thoy have gone
down. There are about 15,000,000 foot
of logs in the main boom and half as
many more in tho city millponds that
may go on a twenty-flvo foot flood.
BRIDOKB WAH1ISD AWAY.
A special from Huntingdon, l’n.,
says: Sunday's great ilooil has been
exceeded only ouoo in the history of
the Juniata valley, the last four days’
rainfall having raised the Juniata rivor
and Hayston branch tweiity-oue foot
above loiv water murk anil entailing
groat destruction to property. In
this place the waters Hooded the lower
streets, driving tho people from
their homes, and in tho lower farm¬
ing districts whole families alii im
prisoned in their houses, unable to ho
reached owing to tho turbulauee of the
streams. Throe new iron eounty
bridges spanning the Juniata rivor and
Haygtown branch have been swept
away. The destruction of scores of
minor bridges and washouts on public
roads hftvo closed all rural approaches
to this place. The gas company plant
here is submerged anil the lower doors
of many business houses flooded.
Advices from Tyrone, Bello Font and
Altoona say that the worst flood known
since 1889 visited those places Satur¬
day night and Sunday, flooding the
streets, submerging lower Hours of
business houses and dwellings and en¬
tailing untold damage.

General I’hil Cook, secretary ol
state, died Monday morning just lm
foro i o’clock at the home of Mr. W.
L. Peel at Atlanta. It was a short ill¬
ness that led to his death. Saturday
the general was at usual. his office attending when he
to his duties as But
left bis homo he neglected to carry
with him his overcoat. The cold wave
came on and Saturday night the gen¬
eral complained of a severe cold.
Sunday morning he was up and about
the house, but was eomplaining of a
pain in his chest. Ho gave it no es¬
pecial importance and was at the ten
table with the rest of the family. Later
in the evening ho retired to Ids room
and about half-past 11 o’clock awoke
the household by asking for Mrs. Peel,
bis daughter. Mrs. Peel quickly re¬
sponded, and when she reached tho
bedside of her father he remarked:
“J believe I am going to die.”
Ho appeared to bo suffering, and it
was painful to watch his attempts to
breathe. A messenger was hurried for
a physician, hut by the time the doc¬
tor arrived the general was dead.
Than General Cook none of the
etalehouse officers were more popular
or better known throughout the state.
He made his first political appearance
nt tho ettttehouse after the death of
Secretary of State Barnett. WhenGov.

Cook was on the ticket and was elected
and has since held the position most

You want the Best
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy, or husky food;
never spoils good materials ; never leaves
lumps of alkali in the biscuit or cake; while
all these things do happen with the best
of cooks who cling to the old-fashioned
methods, or who use other baking powders.
If you want the best food, ROYAL
Baking Powder is indispensable.

Don’t lie n Kicker .
Before you become a kicker, con
aider if yon cannot bo something bet¬
ter. One thing is certain, if you can
do nothing good for a community yon
call make a great, deal of 1 rouble by
abusing those who do. Agitate your
liver, take a dose of ground glass and
remove the bile, cleans year con¬
science, cultivate faith in your fellow
men, then go ti work and help some
body. But don’t be a kicker. tXok

An exchange has a story of a wise
son wlio knows not only his father, but
his uncle.
“Johnny,” said his teacher,“if your
father can do a piece of work iu seven
days, and your Uncle George can do
it in nine days, how long will it tako
both of them to do it?”
“They’d never get it done," said
Johnny. They'd wit down and tell
fish stories.” Orany County Farmer.
