Hubbard, living aix miles from here, celebrat
ed bit lulat blrtbdoy. tost year his centen
nial birthday waa celebrated by a public
dinner, and a like ceremony waa observed this
time. The old gentleman ia in good
health. Ur. Hubbard's hair and beard,

ply of hair, which is roached upon his head
like that of Andrew Johnson, as pictured on

and knotty and the purple current. In Its
sluggish flow, shows plainly through the skin,
which la brown In patches, a condition pecu
liar to age, they are firm and do not tremble.
He took care or an acre of corn last year. Said
one of bia granddaughters: “He likes to walk
about the farm, and does so in pleasant weath
er. lie doesn’t walk out much
in wlntor and can hardly entertain himself
at all—as he is so deaf—when not
reading, and so be reads nearly all the
time. He also said that ho never was at
Crown Hill cemetery until last summer, and
was perfectly delighted with the place, and
spoke with special pleasure of the beauty of
a numlier of graves upon which varlons col
ored shells hail been placed. He mentioned
the subject of death today, and said be was
ready, and that he could not see what ha was
living for, as there was little comfort in life
for him. He has always been a man of sim
ple tastes and no bad habits. He nevor used
whisky or tobacco, and only the other day,
when we desired him to take a little wine, ha
did not want to do so.”

which the ex-alderman bad came from Esmx,
on Lake Champlain, draw into the depot, the
Inspector stepped up to him and said;
“Mr. Waite. I want to tee you.”
District Attorney Martlne stoutly denies
that ea-Alderman Waite waa arrested, nor
would he admit that a warrant was Issued
from him. He says Waite Is his gueat, and as
inch entitled to protection from tho rapacity
ofinlerriewingiraporters. Judge GUdoisleave is
iiuoted assaying that Waite has not boon ar

A FAITH CUBS TXMPLB.
New Yobk, April 3.—[Spoeial.]—The tab
ernacle in Madison avenue, where Newman
succeeded Bepworth, and congregational raws
marked the failure of the Newman enterprise,
la being tamed into tho largest fsltb cure
temple In the world. The edifice wss built
about fifteen years ago, and is an architectu
rally curious structure of iron, with tho inte
rior arranged in amphitheater style—rising
pews half circling the platform. Tbe Bev.
Albert B. Simpson is a radical advocate and
operator of miraculous cures by faith. He
eamo to New York three years ago, hired n
ball In the Grand open house building aud
Instituted religious services. The feature of
bis worship was tbs anointing of diseased per
sons nt the altar—literally, the touching of
their foreheads with his forefinger dipped In
pure olive oil—aeoomponied by a fervent
prayer for the cure of the ailment. Hundreds
of patients bare believed themselves helped
or healed by this treatment.
Blmpoon’s congregation grew too big for the
ball, and he took poooemion of tbo ehnrcb,
which tho late Salmi Mono had altered into a
theater for his attempt to produce tho Paaoion
play. There he has exhorted and anointed
before crowds, and his fame has become great
among believers in his power to work mira
cles. He has paid $2,000 cash down for
the Medium avenue property, declaring that
tbe money came to him from some stranger In
ns answer to prayer; and he expects to make
the rest of tho payments, aggregating $120,000,
through the some providential agency. Of
this sum $24,000 roust be forthcoming by the
end of May, Mr. Simpson has the appearance
of s saaioua radical, with perfect faith in his
doctrines.
He says that all bis prayerful force wilt he
directed to tho miraculous raising of tbo
time the tabernacle aril
Idneleaa hospital as the world has never
dreamptof.
A PECULIAR PETITION.
Fobt Bowie, Aria, April 4.—Lieutenant
Foison arrived today with 118 Apache prison
ers, including Chihuahua, Kutre, Josna and
Nana, who have boen tbe most trouhloaomo of
the hostile* next to Garonlmo. They *11
seemed glad to got in. Chihuahua had a pow
wow with General Crock today, and said:
“ I know I have committed many outrages,
hut (irmnino is to blamo for all. Ho forced
us off the reservation by lies. I don't
think he will come In now. I have thrown
away my arms and am not afraid. 1 mutt dio

General Crook told him to go back to camp

GOSSIP ADOPT MEXICO.
Movrpruu, Vt, April 1.—Loot night*
kraty nia and the melting *f the mountain
Nxw Mexico is the least known of oar ter
ritories. As tho Hon. Clarence I’uilcn asld In
hit Beaton lecture, It is the quaintest, strang
est end moat mysterious of all our putt cations.
It ia the oldest and young*st,the lint civilised
and tbs least progressive section of our coun
try. It It tho land of parpntnai sunshine, and
it it not surprising that its first inhabitant*
wrro tun wozahlpero. It baa 5,000 square
mile* morn land than Now England, New
York, Now J or icy and Delaware combined.
It is a country of romanoo, mystory
and terror, rich in wine end coin,
abounding in desperadoes and Apaches.
Mr. Pullen briefly sketched the history of tho
country from the time of tho couquest by tho
Spaniards up to tho entrance of tho Americans
in 1845. Ho told of the easy victory which the
superior armament of the Spaniards muds pos
sible. of the Europeans' thirst for gold, of the
creel manner In whieh tho natlrea were en-
slnred and made to work In the mines, of the
tortures to which they were subjected, of tholr
final tuccestlbl struggle for liberty from tho
heavy Spanish yoke, of the withdrawal of tho
Invader from the territory aud the subjugation
of tho laud latorby tho Spanish. This history
Mr. Pullen related In a narrative form, and
illnslrated by anoedoto ami story, so that It
f irored very entertaining as well as instruct,
ve. In specking of the suoecsafrilriiingofthe
Indians,tho lecturer noticed aa a moat remark
able flwt that th* Indians succeeded in com
pletely changing, in a very short time, the
entire aspect ot the country. They turned the
churches into temple of Montotnma, de
stroyed nil vestige* of tho Spanish relig
ion and completely obliterated *11 trace* of the
Spanish mines. They believed that tho
minee ware the eanse or *11 their trouble*, and
been mercllobly worked, Tbe pethi
concealed, tbo entrances had been covoi
with limbers, and on these fist stones had
been placed, and the whole corcred with sarth,
in which trees had boen set out. Tbe Mexican
tbe speaker did nut wish underrated. Ho
protia, honorable, vindictive and Jealous, and
his wounded
nothin* but blood would satisfy
honor; but, by virtue of his relicion hospital*
hy was a matter of course with him. He
makes a gallant soldier, well officered, and U
ntver occurs to him to be ashamed of hit
poverty, or to apologise to you for the quality
of the fsTe he offers you. The poor Mexlein
my a to you: ”We are poor. Wo would like
to offer you much more and better, but that ia
all we have, and you are welcome.”

Analog Against Strikers - A SooMUsts
Arrested- A Horrible Mssssors.
London, Msreb 29.—Mr. Gladstone, Iu the
fcoute of commons this Afternoon, stated that
on April 8th ho would ask permission to intro
duce his Irish government bill. That on A pril
12tb the budget would be introduced. And that
on April 15th he would request permission to
introduce a bill to amend the laws for the sale
and purchase of land in Ireland. Both Cham
berlin and Trevelyan were present They sat
below the gangway, chatting with Lord Ilsrt-
legion and Sir Henry James.
Mr. Gladstone's statement in the bouse of
commons was heard in dead silence, which was
broken only at intervals by the cheers of the
Parnellite members.
London, March 20.—Ta order to keep
Messrs. Chamberlain sad Trevelyan iu Ihe cab
inet, it ia said that Mr. Gladotono laid before
them the full text of hia Irish schemes. Not
withstanding the efforts nude to keep them
secret, meat of the prominent paints are al
ready in the months of the politicians. The
Times believes that Mr, Gladstone will pro
pose u statutory parliament in Dublin, placed
In a position or practical independence, with
a wide range of legislative au
thority and entire control over administration,
including law and pel loo. The scheme re
serves to tbe imperial government little more
than the command of the armed forces of the
crown, This account tollies with tbe known
views of the men whom Mr. Gladstone has
chiefly consulted, bat affirms nothing bat a
veto power, which the Parneilities regard as
vital.
Tbs opposition to tbe other branch of Mr.
log out tho landlords, has so steadily Increased
that he has been strongly niged to abandon it
and to propose home rulo in naked simplicity.
Mr, Labouchero again loads jiff in tbit move
ment, which waa started in order to aecare the
precedence of the Irish parliament over land
purchase, bnt has new became a demand for
borne rale only. The Standard retorts that an
undisguised proposal to placo the landlords at
the mercy or a tenant legislature would leave
Mr. Gladstone almost alone In tbe lobby with
the Parncllltcs.
Pabis, April 1.—Dispatches from Annum re
port fresh massacres at tbe Catholic missions
In tbe province of <tuang Blrig. The number
of victims is said to he 442.
London, April 2.—“Mr, Gladstono Is riding
straight for n fall,” the Pall MaU Garotte de
clares this afternoon. “He refuses,” ttys tho
Gazette, “to modify his Irish scheme, and the
result will be that the country frill hare
neither home rulo in Ireland nor Gladstono.”
The Pail MaU Gazette announced in the tome
way precisely that Loid Salisbury would "ride
for a fall” at tho very time tho tory premier
was arranging for bis own defeat. The doctor-
ation at tbe time wae generally hooted by
the other English pinore, but the Oazette
was entirely accurate then.
The Freemcn'e Journal, commenting on tho
urowlnff opposition among the Scotch mom-
hers of parliament to granting Ireland a par
liament, threatens that if the Scotch mom-
ben help to defeat Gladstone's homo rule hilt,
tho rarnellitcs will adopt a policy of relentless
opposition to overy Hootch measure which
may come before parliament.
At a meeting in tho Guild hail today, at ev
ery mention of Parnoll’s nemo tho nudlorce
hissed. The name of tho premier was treated
in tho lame way every time any speaker nsed
it. There were even erles of "Gladstone la a
lunatic.” All the speeches were entirely pa
triotic and tho speakers wore loudly cheer
ed.
George Potter, liberal, ventured to propose
an amendment to the Lubbock resolution, to
tbs effect that (liadstcno was entitled to tho
confidence of the sndisnoe and the British
public; hat hia voice was drowned by groans
and crion of "go home,” “torn him ont.” The
meeting closed with three cheers for tho
queen, and the asscmblsgo left the ball,
ringing “Rulo Brittennia.”
The Belgium Hints.
Cha heritor, Belgium, March 29.—Tho gov-
ernnient authorized tho peaceable inhabitants
of tho city to arm thomselvoa aud use ovory
moans In tholr power todefeud their domicils.
Thcro Is a more confident fooling today. Civ-
Ilian patrols nnd troops sro overmastering the

Rioters last night attacked and burned the
rettery manufactory at Bandour, uoar Mans.
They succeeded in resisting the gendarme,
who, however, ehot and killed throe of tho

Tbe cJUscna of Kleuris, seven miles north
east of Charleroi, havo armed thomeelves and
have thus far succccdod la defending their
town from pillage. They drovo ouo army of
rioters away by main force, dispersing It ut
terly.
The strikes ere spreading in the coal mining
district of Borlnsgu, and tho anthoritiea there
are apprehenaive of grave excesses on the pert
of disaffected workingmen. The miners in that
district receive but sixty cents a day, and are
employed only five days In the week. Several
anarchist leaders were arrested at Charleroi
today.
1 .trover, leader of the Socialists, has been
arrested. It has been proved that tho riots
are not due to political cantos. Of ninety per
sons arrested hare in connection with tha dis
turbances, one-half are old convleto of tho
wont kind, Tho entire reserve force hmi
been colled ont With these additional
troops tho army will number 02,000 men.
Balaam, March 30.—Quiet has not only
bean restored at Charleroi, bat tha strikers are
geaanny returning to work. Tho only local
ity whore distnrbancea havo increased is tho
central coal min log district.
Advices from Liege say that qniet has boen
restored. The troops which havo boon sto
ut Charleroi and Ltego are leaving
tinned
throe placet for Tourney and Mona. Tho gov
ernor of Liege has promised the striking min
ers that be will intercede for them with the
empioyeaa, with the object of securing for the
workman an increase of wsges.
BncovElSL March 31.—Work has been re
sumed in all tbo factories and collierlej In the
Charleroi district. The authorities have,
however, forbidden the workmen to celebrate
tho ending ot the strike hy a car rival.
The Belgian socialists of Paris, who were
prevented from holding e meeting hut night
by the police, attempted to amemblt today.
The police again interfered and arrested ail

CONSTITUTIONALS.
BIr. A. K. McClure, editor of the Philadelphia
Tiraw, recently fpent a month in Florida, and
while be vu there he studied orange farming
with a practical eye. He reached the coucluflon
that orauge groves are not only profitable, but are
very certain, If the orangj grower ia tn expert In
Florida soil, climate and orange trees. Bap-lia^ard
orange growing will not pay any better than hap
hazard wheat or corn growing As In every other
branch of funning, the Email grower who raises his
own supplies and early vegetable* and attends to
a Email grove, i* the winner. A farm of from
twenty to forty acres ix tbe farm of the future In
Florida, The Email farmer come* to stay and com*
pel tuccess. The large grower, like the mere spec
ulator, Is to disappear.
The orange product of Florida Is much discussed
and many no doubt are led to think that we are
growing the oranges we eat. It is a great mistake.
We Import from Sicily about ten oranges to one
grown In sunny Florida. The Florida crop in IMS
wr* eighty millions, and the consumption of tbe
country la In round numbers eight hundred mill
ions. But between Florida and California there
arc children living who will see homo production
catch up with, if It does not pass, home consump
tion. The larger part of the trees of Florida are
too young to bear, and when they are in full bear
ing, as they will be In tbe courso of another ten
years, the foreign product will no longer be want
ed. The orange tree Is very long-lived,
and when every treo in the state today
la old enough to yield ten thousand oranges, the
growers of Sicily will havo to scok new markets,
Hllk culture U another subject that the south has
good grounds to consider In a practical way. The
interest Is doing well; and Mr. John Lucas, of the
Woman’s silk culture association, complain* that
the congressional appropriation of 130,000 has been
chiefly used to pay salaries. Only >5,000 was spent
for eggs. The Woman’s association has paid over
16,000 to women In tbe comitryforeggs, cocoons and
reelings, and bos promoted the planting and grow
ing of mulberry trees. Beside* the
Woman’s association there Is an
a*oclatIon In California, and the gov
ernment station at New Orleans buys cocojns.
The Woman's association has paid *37 25 for Geor
gia cocoons, 938.09 for Florida, *29.02 for Alabama
and *20.01 for South Carolina cocoons.
There are 3*0 silk factories In the conutry, and
the problem in band is to famish them with raw
silk of home growth, thereby retaining millions at
homo and giving onr women remunerative and
comfortable employment. The women's associa
tion claims the aid of the government in the effort to
pot silk culture on a paying basis. It is claimed
that home culturlsts would become numerals and
sklllfal If they could be assured of a market for all
cocoons, whether perfect or not. The enterprise is
lsiglng just now, and It Is thought nothing can
save It from collapse except the long purse of the
government
Mr. Chapin, lately of Richmond, says: “Mr
Tom Alfriend told me that shortly after the war
he bore a proposition to General Lee from the
Knickerbocker Insurance Co., of New York, of
fering him *20,000a year If ho would Allow theme of
hla name as southern manager. General Lee de

An old tobacco chewer said: “I saw you had an

and wearied slnco hegavo up tobacco. Let me pre
dict that he will look worse before be recovers. I
know how heartily and how constantly he chew
ed, and what a stimulant it was to hla overworked
mind and body. I know from experience what a
tciriblo loss It is, when suddenly stopped. H*m
Jones will either renew tho me of tobacco or ho
will flag for a month or so, and perhaps be foroed
to.take a rest.aud recuperate.”
l’AKM NOTES.
Living between Bnchanan amlDrakctown is
one of the most thorough-going women wo
know of. The namo of tho lady we speak of
Is Mrs. M. E. Smith, daaghter-in-law of Mr.
L. C. Smith and daughter of BIr. Seaborn
Goldin. Mrs. Smith's husband died some
threo or four years ago, and tinco that time
she has built a dwelling worth $100 and clear
ed up over thirty acres of land. Sho hired a
young man and went with him
to the woods, superintended cutting and
hauling of the logs to tbo saw mill; had tbe
lumber laid dowu on the ground, and really
assisted in dressing the lumber and doing
other work on tho residence. The house is
now completed, painted in good taste, and she
has three good brick chimneys to hor Iiou.ho—
everything complete and in style. She has
alco pot pickets around hor house, and the
work does crAit to an oxcollent good car
penter.
Besides the above she has with a little hired
help, cleared up thirty or more acres of land
ana put a good fence around it. Sho has a
new* ground of soino twolvo or fifteen acres,
which is about ready fur tho plow. Wo nottco
In passing her residence an extra largo bank
of manure which she has saved to enrich her
land. Sho has planted a good sired
apple orchard, and everything about her
home is in trim. The financial management
of this lady surpasses a majority of our men
and would do credit to most all of them.
The BIcDulfie Journal tells of two remarka
bly succcsaAil lady farmers In that county,
Misses Mary and Nancy Garrison. They live
all alone, and, with a littlo hired day laber.
conduct successfully a two-ox farm, doing all
of their plowing themselves, although they are
both over 70 years old. Miss Mary plows Back
and Miss Nancy plows Mike. Miss Mary is
very onict about her work, and it is only occa
sionally you can hear her say “gee!” or r *haw!”
to Buck; bnt Miss Nancy Is constantly talking
to Mike, telling him to “gee!” or “haw!” and
occasionally she will say, “Now, Mike, I'll
hurt yon, I wilt!” Theymanago to mako a
support for themselves and help to support
others.
The Washington Chronicle cites Messrs. Jack
and Tom Nowsome as being among the best
farmers in Wilkes county. Both of them
talk'd all their homo supplies and neither of
them has ever bought any meat until last year,
when their hogs died with tbe cholera. Since
the war BIr. Tom Newsome refused $1,000 a
year to ge to southwestern Georgia and over*
rce a farm. Mr. Jack Newsome was also offer
ed $500 in gold by the late James DuBose to
oversee his placo m South Carolina. In ante*
helium times they were regarded a* the best
managers of farms in tho whole country.
They arc quiet, industrious citizen*, among
the best in this section. Mr. Tom Newsome
bos four sons who cultivate the farm and who
stem to take a delight iu farming.

BEST BAKING POWDER.
Tests Mad© by the Government
Chemist,
Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly Analytical Chemist for
the Government, has made some interesting experiments as to
the comparative strength of baking powders. Dr. Love’s
tests were made to determine what brands are the most
economical to nse, and as their capacity lies in their
leavening power, tests were directed solely to ascertain
the available gas of each powder. Dr. Love’s report gives
the following:
NAme of t’ua
Baking Powders:
“Royal” (absolutely pure)
“ Patapsoo ” (alum powder) • •
“ RuraforcV'/ (phosphate) fresh • •

# In his report, the Government Chemist says: “I re
gard all alum powders as very unwholesome. Phosphate
and Tartaric Acid powders liberate their gas too freely in
process of baking, or under varying climatic changes
suffer deterioration.”
“I have tested Royal Baking Powder, and find it
composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is n
cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and
does not contain either alum or phosphates or any in
jurious substances. 'E. G. Lovr, Ph.D.”
->Dr. II. A. Mott, the former Government Chemist, ro
ported to the Government in favor of the “Royal” brand.
He says: “It is a scientific fact, that Royal Baking Powder
is absolutely pure. H, A. Mott, Ph.D.”
