The Dnnenn V. L. 8. *)., of Albany,
Will PrebeblT Make the Trip
Ih a Bedr.
Tram Friday’* Evening Hehald,
The public knows nothing of the so
cial pleasures as well as literary profit
that the Dunoan Chautauqua Literary
and Scientific Circle enjoy at their
weekly meetings. Its membership is
composed of some of the most oultured
and sprightly of Albany’s citizens, and
they are enthusiastic in their pursuit
Of the knowledge afforded by the ex
cellent course of reading provided for
the year 1892-’98.
At the regular weekly meeting, at
the residence of Mr. J. S. Davis, on
Broad street, laBt night, after the pro
gramme had been presented, the ques
tion of whether the Circle should visit
the .World’s Fair, and, at the same
time, take in Chautauqua, was dis
cussed. The sentiment was unani
mous that the opportunity to do both
should be embraced. The very low
Ates promised will likely bring Chi
cago in easy reach of nearly one, even
in this remote corner, and the conces
sions, usually mado to large parties,
will still further reduce the cost of the
trip to the Oirole.
Hearing of the plan a reporter of the
Herald oalled upon Mr. Davie this
morning and aBked him if the trip had
been arranged.
“Not exactly," replied he, “but we
have it under advisement, and it
would not surprise me if the Duncan
Circle enjoyed it. We have sixteen
members, all of whom are well quali
fied to enjoy suoh a trip and to utilize
the advantages It would offer. It will
be, too, right along the line of our
study, and will prove educational to a
degree that strongly commends It.
The expense Involved will not be
great, and, I think, all will begin to
-deny themselves and put away a little
nest egg so as to provide the where
with to enjoy it.” ,
“Will the pnrty be composed of any
others than members of tho Duncan
Cirolef” was asked.
“Yes, I guess so. Those of the fami
lies of the members who wish to Join
the party, and such friends as will
prove congenial companions, will be
Admitted to the oharmed and charming
circle of companions du voyage. It is,
also, likely that the Dunning Circle of
Cuthbert will be invited to join them
selves to the party, which would give
a sufficient number to justify the rail
roads in placing a special sleeper at
the disposal of the party, which would
give an exemption from the unpleas
antness of crowded coaohos.”
“Would any other point than Chica
go be visited by the party?”
Oh, yes. The rates to Chniitauqun,
New York, will he so low as to placo
a visit to that delightful retreat within
the compass of tlie gratification of the
desire that every Chautauqiian feels,
and the beautiful summer oity will
prove the Mecea of all Chautauquans.
From that point excursion rates to
Niagara are so low that any one can af-
. ford to look upon the wonder of God’s
handiwork. Through usual yoars the
rate from Chautauqun to Niagara and
return is as low as $1.50, and I expect
to see the rate down to $1.00 next sum
mer.”
Mr. Davis thinks that the trip is not
•only possible but probable, and bc-
, lieves that it offers an opportunity for
observation and information the neg
lect of which will prove a lingering
regret throughout life.
Mr. Cleveland’s idea about an ex
tra session is somewhat of a compro
mise, judging from reports of inter
views with him. It is to have a short
session of two or three weeks just af
ter the 4th of March, and then a ses
sion of the Ways and Means Commit
tee during the spring and summer in
order to prepare a general tariff bill,
and be ready to present it‘to the 63d
Congress in the December Bession fol
lowing. This is afar, better view to
take of it than the ideaof rushing hur
riedly into an extra BesBion and pass
ing various measures without due con
sideration.
Mel Branch, of Columbia, is the
author of a resolution which requires
the Governor to enforce paragraph IV.
section I. article IV. of the constitu
tlon in regard to the illegality of con
tracts between corporations which tend
to defeat or lessen competition. This
is amusing. The attitude of a legislator
endeavoring by resolution to require
a conscientious and honorable execu
tive to execute his sworn duty strikes
us as rather peculiar to say the least.
The proper way to go about it is to
define by statute what contracts .’and
agreements violate the section in ques
tion, and then there would be no dif
ficulty in carrying out its provisions.

Leary, Nov. 28,1892.
Editor Herald:—I find that in
your issue of the 18th Inst, your
“special correspondent” oredits Capt.
P. E. Boyd and myself with being to
some extent responsible for the defeat
of Dr. Hand, in this county, in the
November oleotiou.
Upon casual reading of the article,
I for one, and I am confident, many of
Calhoun’s best Democrats, failed to
find anything particularly “out of
joint” about It.
Capt. Boyd, as'chalrm/in of our
county committee, had made a most
gallant fight, and 1 had been pninfully
conspicuous in a warfare on the
Doctor’s politics for more than two
years, and indeed had benumb so
accustomed to congratulations from
good Democrats that, the compliment
your correspondent paid me came
quite nntural.
I had tried to do my duty as presi
dent’ of oiir local Democratic club
nnd did not reflect that more than a
hundred other good nnd loyal Demo
crats in tho county might be “some
what indignant” at the absence of
their names in that little nrtlcle.
But your Bpnce would never have
been Imposed upon by this communi
cation, but for an article in your issue
of the 22nd, signed James Keel, in
which it is sought to prejudice the
minds of my friends who read the
Herald.
I have never learned who the writer
of the article, to which Mr. Keel took
exception, wns. After getting a dis
claimer from every one around Leary
likely to be its author, I have guessed
it was your Mr. Biolmrd E. Cherry. I
will add, for the information of the
disgruntled, that the author, whoever
he was, did nqt get liis information
from me. I have never laid claim to
any oredit for recent Democratic
achievement, except what is herein
aet-forth.
Possibly, Mr. Keel would not have
written his article had he not imagined
that I instigated the report of your
special correspondent.
Since the Issue has been forced on
me I will, by way of explanation, say
why I was “a hundred miles awny on
the coast of Florida” on the day of
election. I state, that after the death
of my babies, and while my wife was
yet prostrated with grief, we planned
this trip, under her physician’s ad
vice, as n means of diverting her mind
nnd recuperating her lost strength.
But my wifes health would not permit
of an earlier stnrt than Oct. 81st, wliioli
made it impossible for us to get home
by election day.
I have done my whole duty ns a
Democrat In the late campaign, nnd,
while I oheerfully concede that Mr.
Keel and many others have been
equally as faithful, 1 do not yield one
point to him or any.of his “imaginary
somewhat indlgnnnce.”
In dosing this I would oall atten
tion to the fact, that being in no way
responsible for either of the former
articles in controversey I am not to be
blamed for this defence. Very re
spectfully, J. E. Mercer.

No Frill*, but Plenty of Fun,
Mrs. Plumstcutl recalls the New
England applo paring festivals—“the
applo bees, when work was mixed
with fun; when tho farmer’s son
came to the village with the big
wagon and gathered tip the willing
boys and girls to go home, with him
to the ‘apple bee.’ I see the big
kitchen wW$ its wliito scoured floor,
ample fireplace filled with crackling
logs, the white table freighted with
largo earthen pans of apples and
lighted with tallow caudles. The air
is filled with spicy odors and the talk
and lauglitoi- of tho boys and girls at-
they busily pare, core and quarter
tho apples. I see tho long supper
table set out with its homespun linen
cloth, tho blue dishes, tho tureen of
baked beans smoking hot from the
brick oven; tlio Indian pudding,
flanked on either side with pies of
mince, apple, custard and pumpkin,
brown broad, doughnuts, ginger
bread, pickles and cheese.”—Good

The Pall Scope of the Measure—Show*

Irol Bat no Par*
liow Eel* Spawn.
Eels spawn liko other fishes. For
long, however, the most remarkable
theories wore hold as to tlioir birth.
Ono of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud; a rival theory held
that young eels developed from frag
ments separated from their parents’
bodies by the rubbing against rocks.
One old author not only declared
that they came from Mny dew, but
gave the following recipe for produc
ing them: “Cut up two turfs cov
ered with May dow and lay them ono
upon tho other, tho grassy sides in
ward, and then expose them to the
heat of the sun. In a few hours there
will spring from them an infinite’
quantity of eels.”—Rod and Gun.
Monopolies in Oid Knglnnd.
Monopolies wero quite common in
England long before tho days of the
Stuarts, while it was under a Stuart,
James I, that an act was passed de
claring void all monopolies for the
sole buying, selling and making of
goods, excepting patents for fourteen
years for any now process or new
manufacture. This indeed was the
first step toward free trade. Tho
Tudors were really the great creators
of monopolies, and Elizabeth was the
greatest developer of them.—All the
Year Round.
Tlie measure just passed by the Gen
eral Assembly providing for an
amendment to the oity ohartor so as to
create a Board of AVater Commission
ers to take eharge of the new system,
contains many interesting provisions
ill regard to the powers conferred
upon the members of the board.
The first section merely provides for
their eleotlon by the Counoil, there be-i
ing three of them In all, to be elected
for periods of one, two and three years.
This creates a vaoanoy on the board
every year, to be filled by the Counoll
at its last regular meeting In January.
The board is to choose its own presi
dent from Its number, according to the
second scotion, and they are also re
quired to take oath to faithfully atid
Impartially disohargo their duty, and
must make a quarterly report to the
Counoil In regard to the water-works
atfalrs.
flection 8 says that a majority of,tho
hoard shall constitute a quorum to do
business, make contracts, etc., except
In the case of elections when the ac
tion of all three is required.
Under seotion 4 the board Is given
power to eleot a superintendent, engi
neer, fireman, olerks, laborers, etc., as
may be needful, but the Counoil fixes
their salary, and no appointments can
bo made for a longer period than one
year. The board must also adopt its
own code of rules.
The next and one of the most im
portant provisions gives the board the
power of fixing a scale of water rates,
and the making of rules to enforce
their collection, In short, they have
full oontrol of the wnter supply, power
to prevent useless waste, to examine
all pipes and stop-oooks, and to compel
all to submit to suoh examination dur
ing reasonable hours, the penalty for
noncompllanoe being a fine of $10.
Seotion 0 gives the board the power
to regulate, at all times, the distri
bution and use of the water in all
places and for all purposes, and from
time to time they shall fix the prices
thereof, and may also prescribe for
what purposes the water Is to be used,
but the fire hydrants are left under
the exclusive control of the Mayor and
Council.
They may require paylhent for
water rent in advance, and when
parties fall to pay for same they may
cause the water to be shut off. The
water may not be turned on again
until full arrears with Interest are
paid.
The board has power to make con
tracts for use of water for one year
only, and nil complaints shall be ad
judicated by them.
The Council may require bond of
any or all of the employes appointed
by the board for the faithful perform
unce of their duties.
The 10th section provides that tho
members of the board shall receive no
compsensntlon for their services, hut
shall be paid for all reasonable ex
penses Incurred while in the perform
ance of their duties. From time to
time a ooinmittco from the Council
must inspect the system, nnd they
may at any time remove by two-thirds
vote any member of said board, when
it is shown tbat-he has been gujlty of
mal-adminlstration in office.
The above is a complete abstract of
all the provisions of this Important
measure which we present to-day for
the benefit of the public who will
nnt'urally desire to know something of
how the water-works system is to be
conducted.

THE CA^SE OE DEFEAT.
In a leading editorial on the disa
greement of leaders as to the oauses of
Republican defeat, the Savannah-News
states:
The Republican doctor* disaRi-ro.a* to tho
ooobo of the defeat ot Uielr porty nod ns to tho
policy tlirli- party should porstio in the fntiu-o.
Goy. McKinley, Mr. Dopew, Mr, Reid and other
prominent Republican* have sold rcconUy that
tho tariff doctrine of their party 1* nil right, and
that that doctrine will ho tho lending plank In
thole platform in 181)0. They don’t think tho
MoKloloy tariff had nay thing to do with tho
defeat their party sustained. Mr, ltoid says ho
thinks tho dofeatot his pnrty was duo to tho
modorn tendonoy toward soolalism.
Of oourse the leaders wtM disagree
as to what brought about such over
whelming defeat, but the truth of the
matter Is, It was a combination of clr-
sumstanoes, which viewed from differ
ent points seemed to give preponder
ance to one over another. Many of
the Republican leaders viewed this
combination from different points,
consequently there is a general differ
ence of opinion as to which nause was
predominant.
Generally speaking this combination
wns the MoKltiley tariff and the forco
hill In the North and South, while
these were combined with local Issues
In the Northwest, suoh as the school
hill in AVlsoonslu and Illinois, to
whioh may be added the general
conduct of the past administration
Its monopolistic tendencies, and the
general prevalent desire for govern
mental revolution to bring about a
change for the better.
(t depends on the point from whioh
j-ou view these forces whioh one seems
i:o be predominant, but the truth is all
contributed their shore and over
whelming Democratic success was the
result. .
Swindled by s Bold Dodge.
Men who handle money in large
sums habitually are popularly sup
posed to be very careful. The con
trary is frequently the case. The
auditor of one of the great express
companies recently told how tho
toller of ono of the big New York
banks was swindled out of fifty dol
lars by a barefaced deception. The
express company had issued a large
number of money orders for adver
tising purposes. They were much
reduced in size and had printed on
their face in bold red letters the
words: “Minature Facsimile. Not
Good.” They were all filled out,
having been lithographed, and the
name of tho fictitious "payee” was
also indorsed on the back.
A casual glanoe would tell an ordi
narily careful observer that -they
were merely advertisements, intend
ed to show how money orders looked
when ready for payment, even if the
caution in rod letters hod not been
there. Yet when a man boldly walk
ed into the bank.referred to, wrote
his own name below the lithographed
endorsement, and asked to have the
“money order" cashed, the teller un
hesitatingly' handed over the fifty
dollars. Nor did he discover the mis
take unaided, but sent tho advertise
ment to tho express company for
collection.—New York Sun.
Filling for Crucki In the Floor.

A Misquoted Proverb.
Perhaps no English proverb or
proverbial phrase is more frequently
misquoted than the one that speaks
of hitting a* nail on the head. Un
thinking peoplo almost always say
the “right nail,” which is absurd.
The joiner who hit the wrong nail
would he a “duffer" indeed, hut an
expert hand may now and then hit
his nail otherwise than fairly on the
head.—Notes and Querries.
Old. but as Good a* New.
When I behold a fashionable table,
set out in all itsmagnifieence, I fancy
I see gouts and dropsies, fancies and
lethargies, with other innumerable
distempers, lying in ambuscade
among the dishes. Nature delights
in the most plain and simple diet.
Every animal but man keeps to one
dish. Herbs are the food of this spe
cies, fish of that and flesh of a third.
Man feeds upon everything that
comes in his way. Not the smallest
food or excrescence of earth, scarce
a berry or mushroom, can escape
him.—Addison.
Lonesome Rights Tlmt Are to Be Been
on Southern Indiana Farms.
"rhoro is no placo like southern
Indiana for graA’eyards,” said Wil
liam Yakey, of Bloomfield. “Now,
that section including Green, Mon
roe, Brown and Sullivan counties is
a wonderland to traverse. It looks
os though the old settlers of fifty
years ago wanted each one to have a
graveyard of his own. Every mile
or two, often far from any roadway,
totally inaccessible to wagons with
out laying waste the fences, you
come upon little rook walled or rail
bound inclosures containing the
dead of one family. Father, mother
nnd sevornl children lie there, and
none others.
"These places havb long been for
saken and forgotten. Woods flourish
in profusion and hide the wind and
rain stained tombstones from view.
Often with a companion I have en
tered one of those little inclosures,
trampled nnd torn out the weeds and
righted the five or six headstones
that had fallen and buried even the
inscribed virtues of the dead into tho
wormy earth.
These people had no ebuntry
churchyard; no preacher except
the visiting parson who came month
ly on horseback. They had no funer
al in the present sense of the word.
Plain wooden boxes were used for cof
fins and often tho sturdy youth of the
family made the coffin for the dead
parent or relative. These little spots
were dear to those families. One can
see that by the loving little inscrip
tions and decorations. When they
were nil (lead no one remained to
care for them and they fell into de
cay and ruin. *
‘They are lonesome sights those
little groups of white pillars. In the
winter when the trees are bare and
the grass dead I have seen flocks of
orows coming and circling about the
dump of trees that usually cluster
about those places. Tho bitter wind
moans through the cracklinffbranch
and those crows wheel about and
caw and croak until tho world seems
truly a placeof sorrow and death."—

An Impressive Funeral.
Mrs S. C. Hall, in his “Memories,”
dcscribos tho burial of tho poet Camp-
bell in Westminster abbey. State 0
men, poets and men of letters fol
lowed tho venerable dean of St.
Paul’s, tho poet Millman, as, reading
the burial service, ho led the solemn
procession to Poet’s corner. It was
not, however, tiie presence of these
illustrious mourners that made-the
funeral ono of the most impressive
ever seen in that mausoleum of great
men.
A long, reverential pause preceded
the words, "Ashes to ashes, dust -to
dust." As they were slowly uttered,
a Polish officer advanced from among
tho mourners and dropped upon the
coffin some earth taken from the
grave of Kosciusko, tho hero whoso
patriotism and death the poet had
praised in verse. The effect was
startling.
Then came the climax.
“I hoard a voice from heaven,"
road the dean, and immediately a
thunderclap shook the old abbey. He
paused; the mourners were thrilled.
As the awful sound died away the
dean finished the sentence—“they
rest from their labors.”

Mr. Toolo has confessed to ’an inter

jokes. On the contrary, he is of opin
ion a “a little harmless acting” of
this sort off the stage “keeps one

bering that practical jokes likely in
the slightest degree to give pain are
not fair gome. Unfortunately the
photographers, by making every
body's features familiar nowadays,
rather ipoil this amusement.

popular comedian, “I went to a jew
