AN EXCITING SCENE. small fire in cnrcAGo's exposition building causes a panic. On Saturday . night, between 8 000 and 10,000 people rushed pell mcll of the exposition building out 111., tailing over each other down at Chicago and jumping through stairs hurry windows in their to escape an imaginary holocaust. rire had started in one of the bi» booths near the centre of the huge structure and the glare of the flames and the crash of plate glass caused a panic. Men, wo scramble men and for children exits, joined in the'mad vised, which fortunately regular and impro enough were numerous to prevent any fatal crushing Within five miuutes the excited thousi ands were safo outside, the flames ex tinguished and one fourth of the expo ution interior in ruins. The damage to the building itself was slight aud the gallery wholly escaped. Probably *>7,500 will cover the loss. HORRIBLE, IF TRUE. INMATES OF NASHVILLE CITY HOSPITAL CLAIM THAT THEY ARE STARVING. ville, A dispatch, of Saturday, from Nash Tenn., says: Investigations made by an livening Herald reporter, show a horrible state of affairs at the city hospi tal here. The complaints started from the neighbors, who weie subjected to piteous appeals daily from the inmates, “for God’s sake to send them something to Two keep them from starving to death.” patients have died the past week, and another, who is now dying, and who escaped from the hospital, tells a terrible 'ale of suffering and neglect, and says that the inmates are starving to death, and that the way the hospital is man aged is a shame. Not only the neigh bors, hut patients and visitors corrobate the story, and considerable excitement exists. COLD WEATHER. FROST AND SNOW REPORTED FROM POINTS IN THE NORTH AND WEST.

A dispatch front Iron Mountain, Mich., says: “The first snow of the year for this section of the upper peninsular, fell here Wednesday afternoon. It was only sprinkling, but was followed by a bitterly cold wave. At Dubuque, Iowa, a heavy frost is re ported, and. all along the line of the Illi nois Central, west, Wednesday night. At East Tawas, Michigan, there was a heavy frost Wednesday,the first this fall. Considerable damage was done to vines. FALLING ICE. A DOZEN PEOPLE CRUSHED TO DEATH AND SEVERAL INJURED.

The New Yoik Tribune says: The Richmond Terminal company, on Wednesday, gave formal notice to the stock exchange of an increase m its common stock of $6,500,600 The ffock had id read v been sold, and the proceeds a re invested in various ffock issues of the East Tennessee. Virginia aud Georgia taihvav, in order to secure control o that route to the Richmond lermmal company. The control would have been endangered by provision of the reorgan ization plan on payment of two £ on ^’ c » tive dividends on preferred stock, oucol which has beeu paid, while another is expected soon. The recent transaction assures control to tho Richmond Termi nal. CHATTANOOGA’S WELCOME T „„ ° TnE TETKRAN9 OF the army of the Cumberland—a gala day.

CITY OFFICIALS OF SPOKANE FALLS, AR RESTED FOR GRAND LARCENY. An unpleasant scandal has come to light in the city government of Spokane Falls, W. T. City C< uncilmen W. D. Waters and Peter Dueber and Policeman William Gillespie are under bond to an their swer to the charge of and appropriating to tributed own use the money of those supplies con to relief who suf fered by the recent great fire. Bitter feeling prevails of over the exposure. A meeting citizens was held, and it was resolved to prosecute to the full exteul of the law, all who are suspected of com plicity in the disgraceful proceedings. Warrants were sworn out by A. M. Can. non, chairman of the relief committee, for the arrest of Waters, Dueber and Gillespie on the charge of grand larceny, and they were arrested. It is under stood that other warrants will be swore out. DECREASING. A GREAT FALLING OFF IN TIIR MANUFAC TURE OF CIGARS AND CIIEROOTS. At a session of the National Cigar makers’ union, at New York, on Tues day, a paper was read ir which it was stated that the increase in the number of cigars and cheroots produced during the year 1888 and 1889 was much smaller than during the years 1886 and 1887. It was a noticeable fact that the increase in production was in districts where the lowest wages were paid. In districts where high wages are paid there was a decrease in production. In New York city, during the fi-cal year ending June, 1889, there was a decrease of 1,2G3,788 cigars and cheroots. The decrease in other paits of New York slate was 3, 948.003. THE WEST WANTS IT. CITIZENS OF ST. JOSEPH, MO., WANT TUI, world’s FAIR HELD IN THE WEST. A mass meeting composed of board of trade men and citizens was held at St. Joseph, Mo., Tuesday night, to take ac tion for the purpose of calliug a conven tion of the representatives at St. Joseph to give public expression to the demand of the West to secure the world’s fair foi one of the Western trrde centers as against tho East. A lengthy resolution was adopted and arrangements made to have them printed and distributed. The call for the convention presents argu ments in favor of holding the world’s fair at some one of the trade centeis west of the Alleorhenv mountains. FCURTEEN CENTS. A GOOD TIME FOR FARMERS TO HOLE THEIR COTTON. The London limes < 0 .respondent at Pre-ton says: There is a prospect that American cotton may yet touch seven pence ti pound, and that a fortnight’s stoppage iu October will be secured to punish the Liverpool ring. One hundred thousand spindles and many thousand looms are stopped in North and East Lancashire, and notices have beeu given of more extensive 8toj\p»ges.” Just Like the Dear Prince. mi 5 HA j Sf § L I 1 I £3 i ’till fM % §1 i u T f I “IJA M !7 r.i I •- -Jj u “B’jove, you’d better give up drink, me deah boy; your eyes are all baggy and your nose is crimson.” “That’s all the wage now, old fel.

If cut* slightly green it g]j s better and is less likely to be stained by wet wca her. In an over ripe barley field even a heavy dew will sometimes stain the barley while stand ing. Why Parley cut green fills better is hard to understand. It may be that after long standing the rust atlacks the stalk and leaves, while if cut earlier the stalk dries off more naturally, and the matter contained in it goes to perfect the grain .—Boston Cultivator. RIPENING CREAM FOR CHURNING. A proper degreo of acidity in the cream is required to produce the best quality of butter. It matters not how this acidity is produced, whether by time or the mixture of some form of lactic acid. It may be produced by the addition of sour milk to the fresh cream, in quantity of one pint of the milk to 10 gallons of cream, and thor ough stirring to diffuse the acid, which at once begins to act upon the sweet cream, and in 24 hours brings it into the right condition for churning. On principle this is precisely the same as mixing the newly-skimmed sweet cream with the older and sour cream, by which the former is acidified and the acid of the latter is neutralized to some extent. The practice of slowly stirring the cream in the jar when the fresh cream is added, is therefore not to be neglected, as it not only hastens the ripening of the fresh cream, but it retards that of the older. RECUPERATING HORSES. It will be found that the horses which have steady and constant work are the ones which stand the hot weather best. Spasmodic work is worse on horses in summer than in winter, although it is hard enough oa them at any season of the year. A team that i3 in the pasture field one day and in the plow or on the road the next will be found soft and unable to withstand the hard labor which it would were it given some thing to do every day. The idea of resting up horses is often an erroneous one, and generally works more injury than it does good. A layoff of a few days from hard work does a horse but little good. The best way to recuper ate a jaded animal is to lighten the work a little each day. It is much bet ter than to keep it entirely from work for a while and then start in to do as much work each day as usual. Tho most enduring horses are those which are kept constantly moving and given good care while at work.— Good.ill's Bun. NOVEL HAY-BALERS. A unique method for baling hay was invented some years ago, and as the patent has just expired, perhaps our readers may be glad to put it into use in some way. Tho idea is to collect hay, straw and other material in a roll by means of a small revolving cylinder, or on anything which can be remove I. The roll must be in the form of a spool of silk, that is, much larger in diame ter than in width. A number of these sections, which are scarcely more tian disks are thee laid one upon the other in a cylinder and pressed. With the many cider and other cheap presses be ing shipped to all parts of tho country, our readers will see at a glance that it will be an easy matter to utilize them for pressing hay in this way. Wires or cords must be laid in the cylinder before the hay is put in and the follow er should have slots across its lower sur face, that the cord3 or wires may be tightened before it is loosened. The cylinder may be a roll of sheet iron hooped or a tightly-bound wooden ar rangement. The spindle for collecting the hay may be revolved by horse,wind mill or steam power, and several rolls may be formed at once on the same shaft. —American Agriculturist. STONF, CRUSHING FOR OOOD ROADS. I am moro encouraged to think I shall live to see better roads than ever before. There is much useful advice in all the papers. Some road districts ha vo a little fruitful rivalry with each Other, but tho thing that promiiei to do most to revolutionize road-making is the stone-crusher. In the adjoining town of Sweden, Monroe County, they have had a stone-crusher about three years, anil have now finished, or have stone on hand enough to finish, as much as fifteen miles of road. The roads where the crushed stone is laid wera formerly almost impassable in fall and spring; now a team can haul as much * n tbo WOrs ^ time in spring as in sum mer, and are so hard that a loaded wag on will crush small stones, and where the stone trade is worn smooth and washed off by a hard shower it looks like mosaic-work. The ciusher in Sweden in the three years has cost but a trifle for repairs. In the town beyond Sweden they bought a crusher that would crush larger stones, but is laid up for repairs too often, and won’t do so much work as the kind they use in Sweden by long odds. I don’t know where cither is made, or who they are sold by. The town gets all the stone it wanti free, and money is raised by tax to hire men and teams to haul the stone to the machine, and they are crushed and spouted on to wagons furnished by the road districts. In Sweden they say limestone is best, but aay kind of stone wilL do .—New York Tribune . PROTECTION AGAINST FLIES. The plague of flies touches a very ten der spot—the pockctbook—for it causes animals to lose flesh, or at least to rnako less gain than they would otherwise. By affording protection to the animals, we save money as truly as we do by giv ing them comfortable shelter. The best protection for hogs is the wallow. Though cattle have tough hides, flies occasion them much discomfort, and it is humane and is profitable to make a smudge, The animals soon learn to take advantage of the smoke. Horses suffer greatly from flies on ac count of a tenderer skin and sensitiva nervous organization. Wnen we have them at work, their struggles against their tormentors arc annoying to us. It is unpleasant to use animals, kicking, biting and stamping at flies. For farm teams the cheapest protection is leather nets. With reasonable care these will last for years. They should be cleaned and oiled at least once a month while in use, or the sweat of the animals will rap idly rot them. They increase the warmth of the animal as little as any efficient protection. Cotton nets are a good pro tection to the carriage horse, but are not strong enough for farm work. Those who canuot buy leathor nets should get the coarsest gunny sacking. This, being very open, does not much heat the animal. The cover should reach over the neck, with pockets to cover the ears. These covers should ba washed once a month while in use, and when they are put away at tho en 1 of fly time. Gnats infest the inside of horses’ ears. Pure lard is a good pro tection, applied once a day. The de posit by the bot-fly of it3 eggs under the jaw, makes many horses almost unman ageable. A cloth can be tied to the bridle in such a way as to protect the jaw. The legs of horses require protection even more than their bodies. Flies choose the legs, as the skin on these parts is thinner and tho blood vessels are nearer the surface. It i3 strango that we do not oftener see the legs ol tho animals protected, as the flies are not much disturbed by stamping. Leg gins from old overalli, or made ol gunny sack, are good material, and the man ashamed to drivo a team so pro tected about bis farm lias far more false pride than good sense. Leggins made like the leather nets for the body are, in the end, tho cheapest and can be made by any harness maker .—American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTI59. Pull up the pea vinet as soon as tho crop is gathered; sow tho ground to turnips; set out late cabbagci or celery. Clean bright fruit and berries sell the best, and it is not dishonest to put them up iu attractive shape, but have them “pan out” as they look. Leave the tobacco pipe outside of the milk room. Better leave the man who has been smoking it outside, too. Ilia absence will not injure the flavor of the butter a bit. Neg’ect of milk in any particular punishes the offender by a shrinkage of quantity of cream, and at tho same time does not seriously injure his neighbor, who does better work. A practical farmer at tho recent annual meeting of the Vermont Dairymen's Association, speaking on barn con struction, gives four requirements in the ideal barn; saving of plant food, pro motion of animal health, saving of labor and saving of coffin construction.
