IN CONFERENCEWILL COME OUT. RESERVOIRS BURST.

A Disaster That Resembles the Johns*

town Flood—Several Person* Drowned.Newburgh, N. Y., July 15.—Melzin-

gah reservoir in Fishkill mountains,near Mattewan, burst at 3 o’clock

Wednesday morning owing to the

heavy rains. The water ran into the

creek and two miles below, near Duch-

ess Junction, washed away brick yard

buildings, including a boarding houseoccupied by laborers. It is reported

here that nine of them were drownedand others are missing.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., JuIjj 15.—

News of the bursting of the BeaconMountain reservoirs received here

says that three buildings, two of whfchwere boarding houses, were sweptaway by rushing water, and 20 people

are missing.

Newburgh, N. Y., July 15k—The flood

at Duchess Junction washed awayabout 200 yards of the Hudson River

railroad track. Trains are stalled oneach side of the breach. There weretwo reservoirs in the mountain, the

lower one half a mile distant from the

other. The upper dam gave way, let*

ting the volume of water into the

lower reservoir. This also burst, andthe water rushed down through a

ravine. Van Buren & Timony's brick-

yard on the Hudson just belowDuchess Junction are a mile distant

from the site of the lower reservoir.

Without warning the flood reachedthem through the ravine and madeter^ble havoc. Buildings were torn

in pieces and their occupants carried

away in the raging flood. The waterworks system was operated by a pri-

vate company and supplied the vil-

lages of Mattewan and Fishkills-on-

the-Hudson.A temporary trestle has been built

at the break in the Hudson River rail-

road track and the Montreal expresssouth -bound has passed over. It will

be late Wednesday afternoon beforetrains can be run on time.

At 9 o’clock seven bodies had beenrecovered. Two of them were those of

Peter Mulligan and wife, who keptone of the two boarding houses for

brickyard laborers that were sweptaway by the flood. The names of theothers are not known. It is reportedthat 20 are still missing. Tons ofearth and sand were washed down in

the flood, and men are digging intothis mass to recover other bodies.

Trains were stalled all the way fromFishkill to Poughkeepsie. One ofthese was a Cook excursion train, thepassengers on which expected to startfor Europe Wednesday.The loss of life at Timoney’s brick-

yard, Duchess Junction, by the flood

Wednesday morning, is now stated atnine. There were about 30 laborers inboarding houses that were sweptaway. All escaped but the nine. Oneman had an arm broken and otherssuffered minor injuries.

The identity of six bodies recoveredhas been established as follows:Peter Mulligan and wife.

Mrs. John Conroy, wife of the en-gineer of the brickyard.

Selina Conroy, aged 6 years.

John Zinca, a Hungarian laborer.Willie Ferrey.

Nearly the Whole Day Devoted to

Sugar and Wool Schedules.A High Official of the Mine Worker**

Unions is Confident

Comparatively Bat Little Informationas to the Protrreas Made Finds It» Wayto the Public—No Uneaalnes* OverHawaiian Annexation Question.

That the West Virginia Miners Will Jointire Strike—All They Wait for is aLittle Urging From the Union

—

Labor Leaders Among Them.Washington, July 14.—The Evening

Star Tuesday says:

There is no uneasiness among the

friends of annexation in congressabout the Hawaiian situation. Neitherthe attitude of Japan faor the persist-

ent opposition of the sugar trust, it

is believed, can weaken the position of

the administration.The foreign relations committee of

the senate is to meet Wednesday andSenator Davis, the chairman of thecommittee, said Tuesday morning that

he was going to try to secure a favor-

able report on the Hawaiian treaty at

that meeting if a quorum could be ob-

tained.

Neither Senator Fry, Senator Lodgenor Senator Gray, members of thecommittee, were at the capitol Tues-day. It is not the present expectationthat the treaty of annexation will betaken up at this session, but a situa-

tion exists which may hasten the mat-ter. It is believed that if the attitudeof Japan toward Hawaii becomes morethreatening it will force annexation at

once, though the-friends of annexationwill not bs in haste unless develop-ments render speedy action necessary.The house took a recess Tuesday un-

til Wednesday at noon without trans-acting any business. Mr. Cannon, thechairman of the appropriation com-mittee of the last congress, announcedthat it was evident that the deficiencybill would not be ready to act uponuntil Wednesday, and he, therefore,moved a recess until Wednesday at

noon, and the motion carried. Thehouse was in session but three minutes.Washington, July 14.—The repre-

sentatives of the two houses of con-gress in the conference on the tarifi

bill spent a busy day, devoted for themost part to work in the conferenceroom. There were occasional consulta-tions with other senators or membersof the house upon points at issue, bulthese were brief, so that comparative-ly little information as to the progressmade found its way to outsiders. It

is known that almost the entire daywas devoted to the sugar and woolschedules, and the best informationobtainable is that a final agreementwas not reached upon either.

Senator Platt, of New York, who hasbeen absent most of the time since thebill went into conference, returnedand was in close conference much ol

the day with Senator Quay.At one time during the afternoon

the senate and house conferes sepa-rated, the house men repairing to theways and means committee room. It

was generally believed that this actionon the part of the house men was forthe purpose of deciding upon a line ofpolicy on sugar, but they declined togive out any information.

Contrary to published reports it is

positively asserted that the sugarschedule has not been agreed upon andin fact that all the big questions be-fore the conference which have seem-ingly been settled are only tentativelyagreed to, one side or the other insist-

ing that they shall be held open.Nothing will be finally closed so far

as the matters of importance are con-cerned until all have been decided up-on and the conferees are ready to cometo a complete agreement.

It is believed that the wool schedule,which occupied the attention of theconferees more or less Monday andTuesday, can now be settled when-ever other matters have reached astage for final adjustment. The sen-ate conferees are ready to compromisethe differences on firRt and secondclass wools by making them bothdutiable at 11 cents, and a compromiseon third class wools has beensuggested by house members of theconference, concerning which they ex-press the hope that it will be satisfac-tory to both the wool growers and thecarpet manufacturers, but this is notassured. This compromise propositionlooks to fixing a rate of 3 cents a poundon all wool of a value less than 10cents «a pound; of 5 cents on woolvalued at more than 10 andless than 13 cents a pound, and of 8cents on that above 13 cents a poundin value This proposition was sub-mitted to the representatives in thesenate of both the wool growers andthe carpet manufacturers, and bothsides took the matter under advise-ment. Senator Penrose, representingthe carpet men, telegraphed for someof them to come to Washington forconference. The attempt of some ofthe house conferees to secure auincreased rate on skirted wools hasfailed. The question of jute,jute bagging, burlaps, cotton baggingand cotton ties which the senate Dlacedon the free list, is causing much trou-ble. The house conferees insist thatthese items shall go back on the dutia-ble list, and the senate conferees pleadthat if they are put back delay mustbe the result in the senate.

If the conferees can reach a com-plete agreement by Friday,said Tuesday, he would besatisfied.

Washington, Julv 14.

Cleveland, O., July 14.—Within 48

hours developments of a very definite

character are expected to take placein the West Virginia coal fields. Aleading operator received a long dis-

tance telephone message at ten o’clockTuesday morning stating that nine or-

ganizers had just left Pittsburgh forthe West Virginia coal fields. A -per-

son who occupies a high official posi-

tion in the Mine Workers’ union, wasat the Pittsburgh end of the ’phone.

“You may look for something start-

ling in that direction within the next48 hours,” he said, ‘ reliable adviceswhich I have received Tuesday morn-ing, convince me the West Virginiaminers will come out. All they waitfor is a little urging from the union. I

am free to confess to you that while I

expect many men would Dome out, I

never hoped for such a complete andoverwhelming victory as this.”

The foregoing message was repeatedto a reporter who was standing athand by the operator who received it.

When that point is reached that thecoal mine operators “refuse to talk for

publication,” the situation is grave in-

deed. The operators now urge upontheir interviewers that under no cir-

cumstances must their names be usedin connection with the informationthey have supplied. A leading op-erator made a plain statement, astartling statement, in fact, Tuesdaymorning, but insisted his name mustnot be used.

“Is there not some parts of yourstatement which I may accredit to

you,” asked the reporter.

“No. You see if I talked for publi-cation I would have to say to you justthe opposite of what I have said. Youappreciate that there are many reasonswhy I would not want my name to ap-

pear as admitting all these facts.”

Since Saturday the coal strike hasassumed a very grave aspect, but a full

realization of the change did uotreach Cleveland operators and dealersuntil Tuesday. Excepting a few op-erators who had some inside informa-tion, they were disposed to speak light-

ly of the matter, and loudly declaredthat there was coal on hand-more than enough to supply thecountry regardless of the outcomeof the strike. Tuesday all this seem-ing or pretended confidence haddisappeared. Several operators wentto Pittsburgh Monday to attend thevoluntary conference of the state arbi-

trators. One of these, whose knowl-edge of the premises is above question,said Tuesday: “The situation is verygrave and I anticipate some very start-ling developments within the next 48hours. I believe the West Virginiaminers will come out and thatwill make the tie-up practicallycomplete, for the strikers will

then concentrate all their efforts

on the Dearmitt’s men. A smallamount of coal is now coming from themines along the Pennsylvania mainline and from the coke regions, but it

is in comparatively insignificant quan-tities. 1 think it will be shut off en-tirely very soon. From what I couldlearn Monday at Pittsburgh I do nothesitate to say that in my belief therailroads will hesitate to haul WestVirginia and Dearmitt’s mines coaLThe engineers and trainmen are re-

garding the situation with loweringbrows, P. M. Arthur’s statement to thecontrary notwithstanding.Mr. J. J. Phillips, a coal operator,

received the following telegram fromFlemington, W. Va., Tuesday after-noon: “Miners all went out on a strikethis morning.”Pittsburgh, Pa., July 14.—There is

a bare possibility that the joint arbi-tration conference may yet lead to thetermination of the miners’ strike onthe basis of the “true uniformity”agreement proposed by PresidentDearmit, of the New York and Cleve-land Gas Co., last year, but which fail-

ed for the reason that the 97 per cent,of the operators in this districtrequired by Dearmit co.uld not besecured. Two sessions of thearbitration board were heldTuesday, representatives from thestates of Pennsylvania, Ohio, WestVirginia, Indiana and Illinois, beingpresent. At the afternoon sessionPresident Dearmit appeared before theboard and told of the conditions whichexist from his point of view. He re-

cited the history of the miners’ strug-gles for better conditions. He told of

the great uniformity movement in

1S93-96, which failed of its purpose.Mr. Dearmit said:

“If the operators of the Pittsburghdistrict will abolish their companystores, use a uniform screen, give hon-est weight—2,000 pounds of coal for aton—pay cash every two weeks, I willleave it to any committee to settle theprice of mining and pay it, no matteriiow high, providing all my competitorspay the same price. Unless these con-ditioni can be brought about I will notagree to abolish the contract with mymen, nor can I afford to do so.”The board will meet Dearmit again

Wednesday and will endeavor to getthe operators together for the purposeof inducing them to make another at-

tempt to secure true uniformity, asoutlined by the former at Tuesday’sconference.

It Cared Her.A well-known Louisville woman was ill,

and her physician pronounced her in acritical condition. Among the sympatheticneighbors was a pretty widow who waslavish in her expressions of sympathy forthe husband and children. And it came topass that she began to sympathize withthem to such an extent that sne spent mostof her time at the house. When the wifewas thought to be sinking and the familywere beginning to fear the worst, thewidow walked up to the husband and said:“Ah, how I pity you, Mr. , and thesedear children. It will be awful if they areto be reared up without a mother to carefor them.” At this injunction the wife,with a mighty effort, raised up in her bedwith the words: “Oh, you needn’t be wor-ried; I am not going to die. No, I will notdie, and I can get along very well withoutyour assistance in the future.” From thattime the woman rallied, and is now haleand hearty.—Louisville Dispatch.

unuer me terms of the agreementMr. Dearmit consents to sign a con-tract which will bring about a condi-tion of true uniformity in the Pitts-burgh district according to the planformulated, but which failed 18 mouthsago. The contracts provides thatthere shall be no company stores,honest weight, fair screens and theremoval of other evils long complainedof by the miners. He will sign sucha contract provided 95 per cent, of theoperators in the Pittsburgh districtbecome parties to it. In agreeing tothe terms, the miners' officials prom-ised to use their influence to obtainthe signatures of the operators to thecontract,and they will begin Thursdaymorning on this work. They stipu-lated, however, that the proposed con-tract should have no immediate effectin calling off the present general sus-pension.Gen. Little, of the Ohio board of ar-

bitration, said Wednesday night that if

the plan is carried out it will not onlyaffect Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, butwill be a barrier against recurringtroubles in the Pittsburgh district.The miners’ officials admitted that

even though they had won the presentstrike without arbitration, the victorywould have been only temporary, asthe absence of a contract such as hasbeen agreed upon would have left thedoor open for new grievances that werebound to manifest themselves underthe present mining laws and thenew ones awaiting the signature ofthe governor. The prospect of a set-

tlement of the mining troubles was re-

ceived Wednesday night with a senseof great relief on all sides and the re-

sult of the efforts of the joint commis-sion to secure the names of the neces-sary 95 per cent, of the operators to theagreement will be awaited with gen-eral interestThe miners’ officials claimed Wed-

nesday night that the Canonsburgmines m the Pan Handle district,

which has been in operation since thestrike began, were shut down Wednes-day, on account of the men joiningthe ranks of the strikers. This makesthe suspension in the Pan Handle dis-

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE,Leonard J. Crawford Elected President—

Omaha for the Next Convention.Detroit, Mich., July 15.—Leonard

J. Crawford, of Newport, Ky., wasWednesday afternoon elected presi-dent of the National RepublicanLeague. While the contest for thepresidency had all the appearance of aclose struggle, the result can scarcelybe said to have been in doubt. Twoballots by states were taken, the sec-

ond one being necessary to verify thefirst, in which the detailed result couldnot be determined owing to the confu-sion caused by numerous changes ofvotes and the persistent airing of localdifferences in some of the state delega-tions.

According to the indications M. J.

Dowling, of Minnesota, will be re-elected as secretary, which will com-plete the leading slate of Crawford,Dowling and Omaha for the next con-vention. The committee on time andplace of next convention Wednesdayselected Omaha, but left the questionof dates to the Nebraska league.There was no contest over resolu-

tions; the expressed wish of the color-ed delegates for the addition of ananti-lynching declaration was willing-ly granted. During preparation ofthe platform in committee some of thewestern members urged the policy ofsaying as little as possible about the“sound money” feature of the St.

Louis platform, but the resolutionsheartily endorsed that platform in all

respects.

get the men to quit. Many are on theway.The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad and

Norfolk & Western road are rushingan immense amount of coal out of thestate. Figures Wednesday becameknown for the first time, and theyshow that the closing of the mines is

of the utmost importance to theminers, if they intend to make their

strike a success.

Their hope is to cause a coal famine,which would Wing the aid of everybusiness in the country to stop the

strike.

In the last 24 hours the Chesapeake& Ohio railroad has shipped 1,470 cars,

and the Norfolk <fc Western railroad

has shipped out 1,100 cars in the sametime. Seven more trains will be puton the Norfolk & Western Thursday.Columbus, O., July 14.—President

Ratchford, of the United Mineworkers,is preparing an address to the minersof the country more fully explainingthe object of the strike and giving a re-

sume of the contest up to this time.

Its tone is encouraging and it will

have an inspiring effect upon the

miners.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.plained: “I know that's what Helenwould wish if she could bg consultedShe has always objected to the settlement, and she says she will insist uporturning" it over to my mother when it

comes into her hands. I thought it

would simplify matters to include it

with the rest.”

“I knew about that.” replied the law-yer, taking up his pen again; ‘‘and so

I thought perhaps you might want toleave it as an anchor to windward in

case your mother’s property ever be-came involved. I don’t like vour obsti-

nacy in the matter of investments; 1

mean the way y*ou both keep all yourmoney tied up in Hallam’s bank stock.”

“I know' that’s always been an eye-sore to 3011, colonel, and I could neverunderstand just why it should be. Hal-lam is as safe as the subtreasury, andhe always pays good dividends.”‘‘That may all be,” replied Van Cott,

testily; “I don’t know anything to thecontrary; but it cvrts no figure with theprinciple of the thing. It’s a plain caseof putting all your eggs in one basket;and that’s never a good thing to do.”

Philip w restled a moment with a newsense of responsibility. ‘‘I guess you’reright; though I never thought muchabout it before. It’s hardly worthw'hile for me to make transfers now’,

but I’d be glad if 3 011 could get motherto do it.” And the making of the willwent on without further interruption.During these days of preparation

Philip found it convenient to avoid be-ing much alone with Helen. Since tell-

ing her of his intention, he had beenbeset bv a fear that she suspected a moreserious reason for the journey than theone he had given her. The fear was notwholly unfounded, for, on the followingday. Miss Morrisson had gone straightto Dr. Terevin. Fortunately for thatgentleman’s reputation as a keeper offamily' secrets, he happened to be en-gaged when she called, and so had timeto reinforce his caution. Helen waited,quaking, in the reception-room, losingthe vantage ground of attack in thesame proportion that the physicianstrengthened his defenses by delay.When she was finals admitted, shethrew away her one chance of successby abandoning strategy for assault.

“Doctor, I want 3’ou to tell me all

about Philip’s trouble,” she began.“Why are 3*ou sending him away? andwhy won’t he talk about what you toldhim?”The doctor was suavity and consid-

erate sympathy personified. “Why, mydear young lady, one would think thatPhilip had been ordered to Siberia! Isit so remarkable that I should have sug-gested a change of scene and climate?”

“X-no, I suppose not; but, doctor,please tell me why you advised him togo alone.”

[to be continued.]

thought tout he should probably* never

see the man. again—and this was the

first of a series of leave-takings whichshould be for all time. \

Thorndy kc had sauntered into the ves-

tibule of the great office building withthe thought that a visit to Dr. Perevinwould answer the double purpose of re-

lieving his mother’s anxiet3\ and of

enabling him to w ear out a half-hour of

the afternoon in a chat with the old

family phy’sician; and he w ent the morewilling^* since the, half-hours had oflate taken to dragging rather discourag-ing^', especial^* in the afternoons.

That the3' dragged was due toa numberof causes, the chief of which was that

Thornd3’ke was an unsuccessful idler.

His father had been a hard-work-ing attorney, gathering and leav-

ing an estate which would hhvebeen a fortune elsewhere than in

New York, and which was a com-petence even in that city of mil-

lionaires. The will gave Philip half,

and the irksomeness of its possession

had not made itself felt until after his

post-graduate course in the law hadleft him a squire of dames, and lack-

ing the spur of necessity which mighthave made him successful in his pro-

fession. Up to the moment when hestood waiting for the next ascend-ing elevator which should lift him to

the altitude of Dr. I’erevin’s chambers,his life had been as uneventful as bis

mother’s solicitude could make it.

There had been no invigorating heights

to scale and no nerve-trying depths to

explore. In his college course, and in

the choice of a profession, he had fol-

lowed in the footsteps of his father, tak-

ing the one and choosing the other for

no better reason than that both wereselected for him by* his parents. Summedup, the young man who waited for the

elevator was a ver3' fair example of

the neutralizing effect of prearrange-ment in domestic affairs; a logical

product of a cut-and-dried system of

home training which makes no allow-

ance for individual needs in the sub-

ject.

And if Thornd3’ke had been given novoice in the matter of his bringingup, he had had quite as little to sa3r

about his engagement to Helen Mor-risson. She was the only daughter of

his father’s law partner, dnd the al-

liance of the two families in the personsof their respective heirs was a treat3’

which had been discussed, ratified, en-

grossed, docketed, and filed among thepartnership archives long before thepersons most nearl3' concernedwere old

enough to be consulted. Contrary to all

precedent, the young people made nodifficulties. On the part of the 3-ounggirl, the loyal friendship of childhoodhad grown with her stature info a very’

real and earnest love for the man whow as her betrothed. And if Philip’s ac-

ceptance of the part assigned to himwas not sufficiently’ demonstrative to

please his mother, it was due quite as

much to the fact that the two hadgrow n up together as to any undefinedinclination on the part of the youngmanto rebel against the conditions whichhad forestalled the growth of his in-

dividuality. In a tranquil and dispas-

sionate way Philip was devoted to theyoung woman of his mother’s choice;

but his love for Helen was rather theoutgrowth of an obedient sense of thefitness of things, urged on b3’ a just

appreciation of Helen’s beauty' andgoodness, than the spontaneous andcompelling passion which is no moreamenable to reason than it is subordi-nate to a sense of duty.From passive indifference To active

discontent is blit a step in life fromwhich the objects of legitimate ambi-tion had lieen removed. The dead level

of an existence in which the trivialities

of the daily social round are the cnly'

mile-stones stretches away before theweary pilgrim into a limitless and arid

region whose sandy wastes forbid the

growth of an3' sturdy’ tree of effort.

Thorndyke had l>een journeyingthrough some such desert of boredom011 the da3r of his visit to Dr. Perevin.

and one of the vagrant thoughts whichfollowed him to the doctor’s doorturned upon the well-w’om question

as to w hether, after all, life were real-

ty worth the effort. The answer wasdeferred, but the suggestion was dis-

tinctly negative. An hour later, when

[he stood before the latticed door of thesame elevator waiting to be shot downto the level of the street, the point of

view had veered so suddenly as to leave

him gasping like an exhausted swimmerunder whose feet there had lately beenthe decks of the stanchest of vessels.

For the first time in his experiencewith elevators, the swift, rush down theshaft made him dizz3\ and he had to

sit down at the cigar stand in the vesti-

bule a minute before going out into

the street. A line of periodicals waspinned to a string in front of the cigar-

vender’s counter, and Philip saw theword “Allaeoochee” in staring capitals

on the title page of one of them. Hebought a eop3* of the paper and readthe advertisement.

An acquaintance looked over his

shoulder as he read. “Hello, Thorn-dyke,” he said; “going south to make afortune ?”

into his pocket. “1 hadn't thoughtmuch about making the fortune, but

perhaps I shall go south for awhile.

Louisville, Ky.. July 15.—J. R Hindmanof Adair county, was nominated Wednesdajon the first ballot for clerk of the court of ap-

peals by the Kentucky state national democratic convention. The convention adoptedresolutions declaring for “a sound, stable andsufficient currency of gold and silver, inter-

changeable with each other at equal commercial value.” Resolutions were adopted favoring a tariff for revenue only, applauding th«

administrative acts of Cleveland and Carliuand denouncing free silver and mobs.The convention refused to fuse with the re-

publicans.The national democratic party has. by Wed-

nesday’s presence in convention, and th«

work of that Convention. evidenced its deter-

hopelessly, irretrievably divided. Union o:

2 o’clock Music hall was filled. Many ladies

occupied seats on the stage and in the boxesamong them Mrs. W. C P. Breckinridge ancMrs. Henry Watterson.The first of the distinguished delegate;

to arrive was United States Senator WillianLindsay. His appearance was greeted bj

a burst of applause. Similar greetingwas given ex-Secretary Carlisle and Mr.Henry Watterson as they entered by the stagedoor with a party of ladies, who took seats in

the box to the right of the stage. As warma welcome was given Horn W. C. P. Breckin-ridge and ex-Gov. S. B. Buckner, who soonafter appeared. Mr. Breckinridge was accom-panied by Mrs. Breckinridge. A band placedin the rear of the balcony played nationalairs

Hon. A. J. Carroll, of Louisville, secretaryof the state executive committee, acting in

Christ’s cathedral, read a prayer from theEpiscopal service.

Mr. Carroll formally launched proceedingsin a well-delivered and well-received ttve-

minute speech.John W. Buchanan, of Louisville, was made

He excused himself. He said he had a pres-

ent duty to perform as a member of the com-mittee on resolutions. After that he wouldspeak if they still desired to hear him Hefelt, though, that there was not the need for

h<m to speak that existed last year: that“Watterson was back from Europe, Carlisle

was no longer secretary of the treasury, Lind-say had recovered his health, and they wereall here.”This sally elicited laughter and applause.

Tnere were large calls for Watterson, Car-lisle and Buckner. All except Mr. Carlisle

were busy in committee work.At this point W. B. Haldeman. as chairman

of the committee on organization, reportedthe selection of Hon. John G. Carlisle as per-

manent chairman and Mr. Ed. Pearce, of Lex-ington. as permanent secretary.Mr. Carlisle wis escorted to the stage, and

his appearance was the signal for vociferousapplause. The delegates arose to their feet,

and cheer after cheer was sent up as he stood,

bowing and awaiting silence When the ex-pression of enthusiasm had exhausted its ar-

dor Mr. Carlisle addressed the convention.Mr. Carlisle spoke impressively, and his

utterances were received with an enthusiasmthat broke frequently into applause. Whenhe closed the convention again arose enmasse and gave three rousing cheers in his

honor, and indorsement of the Cleveland ad-

Hindman received nearly all the votes castWhen Logan county was reached G. Oren-dorff in a graceful little speech, cast the voteof his county for Hindman, and moved to

make his nomination unanimous. The motionwas carried with applause.Gov. Hindman was escorted to the stage by

Gen. Buckner, who had placed his name be-

fore the convention, and ne accepted in a

speech much in the spirit of those that hadgone before. Gov. Hindman is an excellent

speaker.At the close of Gov. Hindman’s remarks

the convention finally adjourned.

With their boots, so plain and clumsy.That they’d worn for many a day.

Extraordinary Session.

Washington. July Senate—The session

of the senate Thursday was uneventful, tbo

deficiency appropriation bill being considered

throughout the day. Among its provisions is

one accepting the invitation of France to par-

ticipate in the Paris exposition of 1900. Tnebill was not completed when they adjournedDuring the day, Mr. Berry (Ark.) offered aresolution requesting the president to demandof Spain the release of Ona Melton, one of

the Competitors prisoners. The resolution

was referred to the committee on foreign re-

lations.

House—The house Thursday sent the tariff

bill to conference- Chairman Dingley. Payne(N. Y.). Dalzell (Pa.), Hopkins (III) andGrosvenor (O.). republicans, and Bailey

(Tex.), McMillan (Tenn.) and Wheeler (Ala.),

democrats, were appointed conferees. Theproceedings were in no wise sensationalThis action was taken by meansof a special order brought in

from the committee on rules. Theminority made no objection to it, but protest-

ed because the majority refused in advanceto enter into an agreement as to the length of

time to be allowed for debate when the bill is

reported back by the conferees. The housespent the afternoon under the special

order adopted last week listening to

eulogies ou the life and public serv-ices of Judge Holman. Those who paidtribute to the memory of their departedcolleague who began his service in the bouse40 years ago, were Messrs. Steel (Ind.), Rich-ardson (Tenn.), Zenor (Ind.), Henderson (la ),

Cummings (N. Y.), De Armond (Mo), Cannon(111.), Sayers (Tex ), Miers (Ind.), McMillin(Tenn.), Bromwell (Q), Hunter (111.). Robin-son (Ind ), Lanham (Tex), Clarke (Mo.), Cox(Tenn.), Wheeler (Ala.), and Catchings(Miss.) At 5 p m., as a further mark ot re-

spect, the house adjourned.

Washington. July 10.—Senate—The sen-ate met Friday under the depressing influenceof the death of Senator Harris, of Tennessee,wno has been one of the conspicuousfigures in the upper h^use of congressfor over twenty years. The desk heoccupied so long was not draped, as thesenate had as yet no official knowledge of hisdemise. Rev. Mr. Johnston, the chaplain of

the sonate, in his invocation referred feel-ingly to the loss the senate had sustained,and spoke of his ’ rugged honesty, his un-swerving attachment to his political prin-ciples, his opposition to all he consideredwrong, his devotion to his state and his serv-ice to the nation.” After the journal hadbeen read Senator Bate (Tenn.) made the an-nouncement of the death of his colleague. Indoing so he pnid a high tribute to the mem-ory of the distinguished dead. The senate,out of respect to the memory of the dead sen-ator, adjourned. A committee to attend thefuneral was appointed.

Washington, July 13.—Senate—A discus-sion of Union Pacific railroad affairs occupiedthe attention of the senate Monday. The de-ficiency appropriation bill was taken up earlyin the day, and Mr. Morgan proposed anamendment designed to prevent the consum-mation of an agreement made some time sincefor the settlement of the government’s claimsagainst the road. Mr. Morgan spoke through-out the day, severely arraigning the Pacific

railroad managers. Late in the day the entiresubject was disposed of by the withdrawal ofthe paragraph to which Mr. Morgan had of-

fered his amendment. The deficiency appro-priation bill was not completed up to thetime of adjournment.

Washington, July 14—Senate.—The priceto be paid for armor plate for the three newbattleships now in course of construction wasthe theme of extended, and at times, lively

debate in the senate Tuesday. Late in iheday an amendment to the deficiency appro-priation bill was agreed to. reducing the priceot armor plate to $300 per ton, or $125 less

than the amendment reported by the commit-tee and recommended by the navy de-partment as the minimum rate accept-able to the armor contractors. Anotheramendmeut inserted in the bill directsthe secretary of the navy to investigate as tothe establishment of a government armor fac-tory, and to report to the next session of con-gress. The first vote was on an amendmentlimiting the cost of armor to $300 per ton. It

was carried on a viva voce vote, Mr. Hale andone or two others being the only ones to votein the negative. Mr. Butler offered an amend-ment authorizing the secretary of the navy toinvestigate and receive propositions for theestablishment of a government armor factoryand report to congress at its next session. It

was agreed to. Ai amendment was adoptedto pay balance of $14,485 to claimants underthe Spanish-American claims commissionand then the deficiency bill was passed. Mr.Hale moved that the senate adjourn overWednesday, lost on a viva voce vote.

House—The house was in session aboutthree minutes and adjourned until Wednesday.

Washington. July 15 —Senate.—The sen-ate was in a deadlock for several hours Wed-nesday with business at a standstill whilecalls of the senate roil and other parliament-ary expedients were resorted to. It. was duoto the effort to secure i ction on the resolutionof Mr. Harris (Kan ). designed to prevent thodisposal of the government lien on the UnionPacific railroad under the terms of an allegedagreement There were many roll calls onMr. Harris’ motion to consider the resolu-tion, quorums appearing and disappearingand from 12 to 5 o'clock no final vo’e on themotion was secured. It flnaiiy went over un-til Thursday. Pending one of the roil calls a'

resolution was passed allowing the sculptorof the Sherman status to erect a studio ’nearthe site of the status. This afforded a teiifor some strictures by Mr. Morgan on thodeadlock which had occurred.

House—When the house resumed its ses-sion Wednesday after the recess Tuesday,Mr. Anderson (rep , Iowa) asked unanimousconsent for the consideration of a joint reso-lution to permit the erection of a temporarystudio on the future site of the statue of Gen.Sherman, for ihe erection of which a contracthas beemmade. There was no objection and thoresolution was adopted. Mr.Cannon moved non-concuneace in the senate amendments to tnogeneral deficiency bill, which same over fromthe senate Wednesday. 'J he motion prevailedand Messrs. Cannon, Northway and Sayerswere appointed conferees. Mr. Morris (rep.Minn.) asked unanimous consent for the con-sideration of a resolution to appropriate $; 0.-OJU of the unexpended balance of the appro-priation for the Mississippi flood sufferers forthe relief of those wno have been rendereddestitute by the recent floods near Aitken.Minn. Objection was made. / t 12:30 the houseadjourned until Thursday.

LEAVE-TAKINGS.Philip was reading the evening- paper

when Mrs. Thorndyke came into thelibrary before dinner, and lie made acommendable effort to appear natural

when he greeted her. The hope that shewould give him time to lead up grad-

ually to the subject of his interview

with Dr. Perevin had scarcely takenshape when her first question flung himinto the midst of it.

“Did 3’ou go to see the doctor to-da3’,

Phil?” she asked, moving the readinglamp that its light might serve himbetter.

“What doctor?—oh, you mean Pere-

vin. Yes, I went down and told him I

w as a very sick man—in 3’our opinion.”

“What does he sa3' is the matter with3’ou ?”

“With me?—why, he said you coddled

me too much, or something of that

sort ; that I’d better break away and golive in the woods.”“But scriousl3r

,Philip; 3’ou know how

we are worried about you. Doesn’t hethink you’re in danger?”“Danger of what?” Philip threw

down his paper and stood up before

her. “Do 1 look like a sick man? Can30U stretch imagination to the point of

fancying me going into a decline?”

His manner was reassuring enough,but the subtle intuition of maternallove is not to be hoodwinked b3’ appear-ances. Mrs. Thorndyke was not satis-

fied, and, seeing there was *110 possi-

billty of keeping her away from the/Ireaded subject, Philip skillfully in-

troduced his plau of migration.

“Why, of course,” she said; “I don’t

See why we hadn’t thought of that be-

fore. We can find some quiet place

down south where vve can be comfort-able, and we can take Helen with us.”

Philip’s heart smote him when he set

himself to demolish this cheerful plan.

Having had time to think about it, hehad demonstrated to his own satisfac-

tion the uselessness of trying to dodgehis fate. He had succeeded in twisting

Dr. Perevin’s warning into a formalsentence of death; and he had made uphis mind to take the ph3rsician’s ad-

vice, not for recuperative purposes, butfor reasons which were purely senti-

mental. He would go awa3' into the wil-

derness where he could find a quiet

place to die, and would so save his moth-er and Helen the day-to-day' sorrow of

the intermediary period. It was all

very foolish and boyish, doubtless; butPhilip was only an overgrown boy* at

best, so far as individuality was con-

cerned, and Mrs. Thornd3'ke had her-

self to thank for it. And so he pro-

ceeded to put his theor3T into practice.

“That would all be very pleasant; butdon’t you see that I must go aloue if T

mean to live out of doors and rough it?

I’in pot sure but it would be better for

me to go into the woods with the tur-

pentine gatherers, or in a logging camp.I don’t know that I espcciall3’ 3’earn for

such an experience, but I’d do that oranything else to please 3 011 and Helen.”

“Don’t be impatient, Philip, dear; I

know we’re a pair of foolish women,but there is always the look of 3’our

uncle Granville in your eyes, and—

”

Mrs. Thorndyke sat down and began to

cry soft^v into lirr handkerchief.

Philip was beside her in a moment.“There, there, little mother, you’ve let

this thing worry you till you’re all un-

strung. You mustn't, you know; Pere-

vin says that I’m—that all I need is a

change of climate. You won't know mewhen I get back.”When one is habitually truthful the

lips lie clumsily and the face usually rc-

doctor? I don't think I quite took in

the length and breadth of it.”

Thorndyke was in his shirt-sleeves,

but he reached mechanically for his

coat and vest when the physician re-

placed the stethoscope among its kins-

men in the glass case.”1 said that your condition is ver3’

critical”—the concern in Dr. Perevin’s

voice was too real to be professional;

“that if we don’t look out you’ll slip

away from us as your Uncle Granville-

did.”

Granville Thorndyke had died of

quick consumption when his nephewwas a boy of 12, and Philip had a veryvivid recollection of the strong man’ssteeple-chase down the road to emacia-tion and death. It seemed incredible

that such a thing coilld happen to him.He sat down and tried to realize it.

Realizing is usually a methodicalprocess, but when a man believes hehas just heard his death-sentence pro-

nounced it is apt to be different. Thorn-dyke’s mind skipped the intermdiatesteps and arrived at the end of thingswith a shock that jarred him out of his

usual habit of indifference.

“For God’s sake, doctor! Do youknow’—but of course you don’t; no mancan really put himself in another'splace when it comes to the pinch.”

“Not wholly, perhaps; and 3’et I cantell you it isn’t pleasant to be a prophetof evil. Hadn’t 3 011 any hint of yourdanger?”“Not the least in the world. Why,

I’m here now only because the motherand Helen insisted upon my coming.And I can’t take it in 3’et; I’m not sick

—I've never had a twinge or a symptomworth mentioning.”“That may be; the trouble frequently

begins so stealthily as to give but little

warning. Your uncle reached your agewithout susjiecting that he had thedisease, and "then, as 3'ou remember, hedied within the 3'ear.”

“Yes, J. know all about it,” assentedthe young man, moodily, “and now I

know why mother was so anxious.”

He got up and w alked nervously backand forth in front of the ph3’sician,

with his hands liehind him and his headdown. “If anybody had told me 1 wassuch a coward 1 shouldn't have be-

lieved it, doctor. This thing lias comeso suddenly that I’m all at sea. Whatis there to be done? or is there anythingto be done?”The ph3rsician shook his head. “Tak-

ing it for granted that you want the

plain fact,' I’m afraid the chances are

against you. Sometimes a complete

change of scene, climate, and habit w ill

work the miracle that would seem to be

necessar3’ in a case like yours, but it is

only fair to w arn you that such an ex-

periment might only shorten your life.”

“A sort of forlorn hope,” rejoined

Thorndyke. “Nevertheless, I think I’ll

try it, not so much on my own account

as because—Doctor, where should I go,

and how long a time can I count on?”“Answering your last question first

—I don’t know; no one can say positive-

13’; but unless 3*011 get help almost im-

mediately the disease is likely’ to de-

velop ver3' rapidly. I should sa>’ that

six months w’ould tell the story, one

way or the other; though it might take

longer. And as to the place, there isn’t

much choice, so long as you get an even

temperature and pleasant surround-

ings. I have considerable faith in the

climate of the southern end of the Blue

Ridge; but you must live out of doors

if you go there.”

“Six months; something less than 200

days. That ought to give a man time

enough to make his peace; many a poor

devil gets less than that many minutes

or seconds. And yet there are somethings that can’t well be settled in a

short half year.”

“You are thinking of 3’our engage-

ment to Helen?”“Yes; that, and the propert3’, and

uiy mother’s grief and worry’, and n

hundred other things that were not of

the least consequence an hour ago.”

He took his hat and paused in the door-

way. “Doctor, I w’ish 3*011 wouldn’t

say anything about this—at least, not

just yet. Don't tell the mother or

Helen, I mean.”“Certainly’ not.”

“Thank you. I'll see you again be-

fore I go, that is, if it seems worth while

to make the experiment.”

ROYAL PHRASE-MAKINGFine Speeches Made by Monarchy of the

Past and Present.

Phrase-making two or three generalions ago played an important part in

French polities. Louis XVI. had a lit-

erary*'prompter who used to prime himwith phrases and plan for him scenessuch as would excite the people’s admi-ration.

“Your majesty* will soon be going to

the races,” said this prompter one day’.

“You will find a notary’ entering thebets of two princes of the blood; whenyou see him, sire, make the remark:‘What is the use of this man? Oughtthere to be written contracts betweengentlemen? Their words should beenough.’ ”

The scene came off—tjie promptersaw to that—and the courtiers ex-

claimed: “What, a happy thought!IIow kingly! That is his style.”

Another scene, more likelyr to impressthe populace, was planned by’ this

prompter. A sledging pleasure partywas arranged for the king. Just as it

was about to start several carts passedby’, carrying wood to the poor of Faris.

“These arc my sledges!” said Louis,

pointing to the loaded carts, and he de-

clined to join the party.

Talleyrand coined for Louis XVIII.the remark w hich he was reported to

have used on the day he entered Paris:

“There is nothing changed; only* a

Frenchman the more in Paris.”

\As a matter of fact, the king did not

trouble himself to utter the phrase;

but Talleyrand inserted it in the jour-

nals of the day that the people mightflatter themselves that iheir king hadforgotten the past, and consequentlythere would be no change.Perhaps the most striking phrase ut-

tered by a modern king w as spoken byKing Humbert a few years ago, whenthe cholera was raging in Xaples. Hehad been invited by* the municipality of

Genoa to a/banquet. which he declined

in these words: “Men are feasting at

Genoa; men are dying at Nap.es—I goto Naples.”—Youth’s Companion.

Foiled After All.

During the Peninsular war a numberof English officers had established ataess in a Spanish village, with native

cooks whose effbrts were fairly’ satis-

factory to the keen appetites of the

campaigners. They were joined, how-ever, by* a certain peevish, cantankerousmajor, who bitterly* complained that

every dish was flavored with sugar

—

after the Spanish fashion—and quite

uneatable. Finally, he confined him-

self to a diet of eggs boiled in the shell.

“They can't sugar those,*’ he cried, tri-

umphantly. But his triumph wasshort-lived. Next morning some mis-

chievous subs were at the mess-table

before the major, and emptied all of the

salt cellars, replacing their contents

with • powdered sugar. The major

soon appeared, .and with gloomy com-placency began upon an egg. w*itk

which, as usual, he took plenty’ of

“salt.” At the first mouthful his face

turned purple with rage. “Sugared,

by Jove!” he exclaimed, and rushed

off to his Vnt.—San Francisco Argo-

naut.

hours and Richard Baxter four hou,*s’

f KrV. Dr. Whitsett Will Not Resign.

Louisville, Ivy., July 15.— Rev. Dr.

Whitsett, president Southern BaptistTheological seminary’, denies that hewill resign. Many rumors relative to

the resignation have been published in

There, there, little mother.

fuses to corroborate the falsehood; it

was therefore fortunate for Philip’s

plan that his mother’s emotion pre-vented her from seeing the untruth.And see. now how great a matter so'

small a thing may turn aside. If Mrs.Thorndyke had looked up she w’ould

have believed Philip’s face against his

words, and there would have been nosolitary* migration and no case in

equity—no moral upheaval and nostrangling of a carefully educated con-science. And, besides, Philip mighthave died comfortably at home, with all

the accessories of civilization to makeit easier.

Preparations for the journey, and the

arranging of matters connected withthe estate, kept Philip so busy for thenext few day s that there was no timeto indulge in painful rehearsals of the

approaching leavetakings. As a confi-

dant in the business affair was neces-

sary, he told his solicitor, not the exact

truth, but whut he had made himself

believe to be the truth, and was thusenabled to keep his mother in ignorance

of his careful provision for her future

Thorndykes, and of the Morrissons as-

“Yes.” Philip ran his hand throughhis hair and then tugged at his mous-tache. “You see, it’s this way,” he ex-

The National Democratic Stale Conventionat Louisville.

(From the (Jourier-Journal.)

The Democratic State ConventionWednesday iully justified the great ex-

pectations that were entertained in ad-

vance. Its work in the nomination of

the ±lon. J amts R. Hindman, ot Adaircounty, will give great satisfaction.

Capt. Hinduiau was a gaiiaut soldier of

the Federal army, has occupied an- hon-orable position at the bar, has served his

State as Lieutenant Governor aud acquit-ted fiimself with distinction. He is apleasing and logical speaker, and will beheard to the advantage of tile cause onthe stump during the campaign.The oratory ot the occariou was of a

high order. The speech ot Mr. Carlislewill rank among his best efforts. Thospeech of Mr. Sims, the temporary chair-man, was marked by superior ability,

and was extremely well received. Col.Breckiuridge’s address fully sustainedhis high reputation as au orator, whichis the highest praise that could be givenit. Senator Lindsay spoke with greatearnestut^s and force, ami was heardwith special interest, not only on ac-count of his great ability and highstanding, but also because he was freshfrom the debate upon the Tariff Bill.

The Hon. A. J. Carroll, on whom de-volved the duty oi cnlliug the conven-tion to order, was extremely happy inthe few remarks which he made in call-

ing the convention to order.Altogether it was a great convention

—

great iu its personnel, great in its pur-pose, great in its utterauces, great iu uswork, and we doubt not. it is destinedto be great in its iuflneuce.

Though the actual attendance of dele-gates was 1,200, ouly 877 could vote inthe convention according to the basis ofrepresentation established I y theState Central Committee. TheCommittee on Credentials re-

ported that 113 out of 119 counties in thestate were represented, aud this wasverified in part when the roll of countieswas called ou the ballot for Clerk of theCourt of Appeals. Taongh some of thedelegates, seeing that Mr. Hindman wassure to be nominated, had lett the hall,only a few counties had tailed to re-spond when Logau county was reachedand further voting was cut off by thewithdrawal of Mr. Orudorff aud thenomination of Mr. Hiudman by accla-mation.Numerous though they were, the del-

egates only constituted half the peoplein the hall, for fully 1.200 spectatorscrowded the main floor, balcouy audplatform. Twice the number of dele-gates and easily ten times the number ofspectators is the way this Democraticconvention compared with that held atFiaukfort by tne silver party on thesecond day of last mouth.

“Oh, I seed you! I seed you this

“Do you know what I want to do

“I want to make a picture of you.”

“An’ put me over where you’d look at

to stand out?” she objected.

“You may come round once in awhile

and look,” the young man promised.

This seemed to be the keenest person

he had found yet in the mountains,

where most of the people in their ownobscure way are shrewd.She stood a moment pondering. “I’ll

Mammy had one when she was little,

smashed hit’s head on a stone a-playin’

Her face was very wistful—too wist-

ful for the picture that the artist want-ed. “Did I tell you about the kind that

have eyes that open and shut?” heasked, as he chose a brush.

Georgia looked at him eagerly. “I

wisht you’d tell hit over ter me,” she

said.

“All right,” said the stranger, “I’ll

tell you about every doll I ever saw”—and he began to work. Georgia couldnot watch the picture of her own face

as it stood swiftly out from the fresh

canvas on the easel, but her eyes greweach moment softer and brighter andmore bewildering to paint, asthey saw another picture all

all their years. Georgia was used to

marking the hours by the mountains,as if they were great dials which hadbeen placed in sight so that her motherwould not need to scold her for cominghome too late, and yet she did not no-tice how the purple twilight spreadfrom the ravines and rose from slopeto slope. The lowest spur of Crab’sClaw sank beneath it, and that meant,that it was time for putting all her dolls

to bed; but she was turning back thecoverlet of a real doll’s bed far in thenorth. The whole of Crab’s Claw sankbeneath the golden level of the sun-beams, and she should have startedhome; but she was where a myriadglistening lights were making all themarvelous world as white as day, andgroups of people lingered by great win-dows full of toys. The sunset lingeredon old Bald Top in the east, just as apatient comrade lingers and calls again.The young man got up from his stool

and stuck his brushes .through hispalette just as Bald Top faded in shad-ow, and only Old Surly lifted its frown-ing head into the whole glory of thewest. He had put the last touch onhis picture, and he walked away andlooked at it with a contented sigh.Georgia sprang to her feet and wentaround to see. She was a little numbfrom sitting still so long. “Happykingdom! but hit’s just like looking in-

ter the spring er the water bucket,”she cried, nervously. “I’m right muchbetter favored than the fureigner,” sheadded, glancing down where he hadbeen dropped and forgotten at the sideof the tree. It seemed unreal to comeback into her little homemade worldafter all that she had seen. Even hermountain people as they stared up at

her with their innocent faces made herheart begin to ache. The sun was out of

sight, and the stranger was packing uphis box. “Is you-uns goin\ too?” sheasked.

“Oh, yes,” he said, “I'm going upnorth where the dolls are. I wish I

didn’t have to go.”

“But you’ve only painted one of themounting people.” she pleaded, jioint-

ing down at them. It did not quiteseem possible that, after one suchgolden day. there should be a to-mor-row when she would have nothing buther silent mountains and her tiny,

silent dolls.

The stranger looked at the dolls asthey lay patiently waiting for theirportraits in a row-along the root. “AndI haven’t finished the jail, either,” helaughed. “1 shall have to leave all thatto you. Good-by.” He held out hishand.Georgia took it mutely. The twilight

hush had risen so that it filled the clear-

ing round the playhouse tree. It

seemed so pitiful to leave her standingall alone in it that a sudden regretcame into the stranger’s face. “I’m aw-fully sorry to go.” he said. »

A little sob choked Georgia. “Sor-ry!” she cried; “when you’re goin* tosee them dolls?”The stranger put his other hand ove

the hand of hers he held. “You dearlittle child,” he said, “don’t you knowthat I am going to send one of thosedolls to you?”“Oh.” breathed Georgia. The stran-

ger was tramping off into the woods,but the twilight was no longer lone-ly now. She stood with clasped handswatching until the trees and the dim-ness shut him out of sight. The sun-set colors lingered, but the moon roseover Bald Top, and, knowing that eventhe happiest little girl in all the moun-tains rpust not stay out after the lighthas left the west, it silvered the shad-ovvy path in front of her and led herhome.—Outlook.

STUDIES IN ANIMAL TALK. FOOD PRODUCTS IN WAR TIMES.Special Speech l»ed by Man In Ad«

dre»*lnar Domestic Animals.!

I^lan uses a special language in

communicating his orders to the domes-tic animals Ls an understood truth, al-though few, probably, have reflected onthe fact.

Mr. H. Carrington Bolton, of theAmerican Anthropological society, hasbeen engaged^ gatheringinformationconcerning this language from all partsof the world. It is without syntax andis largely inarticulate, but for all thaatit plays a very important part in theservice of humanity. It gains addi-tional interest from the fact that itprobably resembles the sort of vocalcommunication men \ised among oneanother before they evolved this pres-ent system of articulate speech.The driver in- this country stops his

horse by crying “Whoa!” The teamsterdirects his oxen to the. right or left bythe terms “Gee” and “Haw;” the farm-er’s lad calls the scattered cattle “Boss,Boss; come, Boss,’ or the timid) sheepwith the musical “Ko-nanny, ko-nan-ny,” and the grunting hogs with theprolonged “Chee-oo-oo; ” the playfulchild calls her cat “Puss, puss,” anddrives it awny with “Scat!” The farm-er’s wife, calling the chickens to feed,says : “"Coo-chee, coo-dhee.”The words of this language are

chiefly monosyllabic andi dissyllabic,and are generally repeated in groupsof three, although extremely devoidof grammar, consisting exclusively ofexclamations and words in the imper-ative mood, and although, with fewexceptions, the words are omitted bythe most comprehensive dictionaries,the language serves as a ready and suf-ficient means of communication be-tween man andi the many races of ani-mals under his subjection.

This language has but little in com-mon with that used by the animalsthemselves. The hen clucks, the duckquacks, the dog says “bow wow,” thecat. says “meow,” the horse neighs, theass brays and the sheep cries “baa.”Man does not use these expressions toany extent in his communications withthe animals, but forces them to under-stand sounds more suited; to his ownvocal organs. «

Different terms are used in differentplaces andi countries in addressing ani-

mals. Cattle in the fields will answerto the call “Sake, sake” in Connecticutas reacJily as their cousins will respondto “Koeb, boeb” in Maine, “cusha” iu

Scotland’ and“tlon, tlon” in Russia.The Scotch dairymaid sings to the

kine “pooh-leed'le,” the French peasanturges on. his team with a guttural“hue,” the German bauer stops hishorse with the sound “brrr,” the Rus-sian- serf summons his chickens with“tsupp, tsupp,” the Egyptian donkeyboy urges forward the donkey by theceaseless cry, “aaa, aaa,” the Bedouincamel driver makes his animal kneelby a guttural throat noise incapableof representation in Roman letters, andyet each animal shows evidence of in-

telligence by obliging the wishes of his

master.Man pays a great tribute to the in-

telligence of his friend, the dog, by ad-dressing him commonly in ordinaryspeech. Among western people he is

about the only animal which habitual!}-

enjoys this distinction. But the orient-

als confer with their camels and horsesin strains of affection that are aston*-

ishing. The Arabic wordgame1—camel—signifies beauty. The Tartars talk

to their horses as freely as if every sen-

tence could be appreciated. Bulgarians,Bosnians and Servians cherish their

horses and beat their wives. In north-ern India the natives carry on longconversations w ith their bullocks.whichconsist-. chiefly in abuse of their femalerelations.

To what extent animals comprehendindividual wordte and sentences is adeeply interesting question. It is sup-posed that the entire phrase is regardedby the animal as a symbol, and fre-

quently the accompanying tones of thevoice, expression of the face and: ges-

tures of the hand) are more significant

than the words themselves.Horses, dogs and cats, and, to some

extent, dairy cattle, receive individual

names, and it is certain that they rec-

ognize their own names when called.

The language used to animals is

often very ancient. The New Englandlad who calls the cattle morning andnight “Koh, koh” andi the child whocalls the cat “Puss, puss” little think

that they are using the Persian wordsfor cow and cat respectively.

Mr. Bolton- finds that on farms whereforeigners are employed) the Americancattle respond far more readily to calls

in Swedish, Polish or German than manwould do to a language he did not un-

derstand.

The dog appears to be remarkablyconversant with human speech. It is

the sporting dog who appears to have

the most profound knowledge. He un-

derstands many technical terms. Forinstance, with pointers and. .setters, to

cause the d*og to lie down the commandis given: “Down!” or “Down charge;”

to come to the master’s heels the order

is “Heel;’ ’to gallop forward, “Hold

up!” to abstain from taking food near

at hand, “Tobo!”To prevent the dog from breaking

fence the order is “Ware fence!” and

to come back from chasing haves, etc..

“Ware chase!” to prevent him from

chasing furred animals the order is

“Ware fur!” and to stop the chase of

birds. “Ware feather!”

“Steady,” “dead bird.” “bring ’ejm in,”

“hie on,” are words of common speech

evith dogs. So is “sick 'em!” a corrup-

tion of “Seek him!” In the southern

United States almost every hunter has a

special language for *his own dog, so

that the animal will not hunt for any-

-nands.—N. Y. Journal.

A member of the British house of

commons discusses a question which

would have immediate and very serious

interest for this country if the Eu-

ropean war that is always to be re-

garded as a possibility should actually

occur. It has already been proposed on

the continent that in case of war food

be declared contraband. The primaryeffect of this would be to place Great

Britain at a tremendous disadvantageif she were one of the parties to the

contest. That country now importsfood to the value of about $750,000,000

a year. Of w heat and flour alone it im-

ports 23,000.000 quarters a year andproduces only 5,000,000. The stock onhand is never more than three months'supply and sometimes no more thanone, so that making food contrabandwould be quite likely to result in a

bread famine within a very moderatetime.

Of the vast quantity of food importedthe United States furnishes about $200,-

000,000 worth. If food shipped to GreatBritain were i*ecognized by the con-tending powers as contraband of warour trade would suffer immensely. In-surance of cargoes might easily riseto a point which would stop shipments.Of the further effects it is unnecessaryto speculate at present, but it is evi-

dent that the proposition to declarefood products contraband has a vital

interest for us as very large shippersof such supplies. Mr. Seton Kerr, theauthor of the North American article,

suggests that in no event would thiscountry join in recognizing the pro-posed addition to international law andin this he is doubtless correct.For England the proposition is so

threatening that Mr. Seton JCerr hasintroduced in the house of commons aresolution, since adopted, which de-clares the situation demands “the seri-

ous attention of her majesty’s govern-ment.” Great Britain cannot consentto the proposed change nor can she pre-vent its adoption by the continentalpowers if they choose to take such ac-

tion, which indeed will give them pos-sible advantages great enough to ac-

count for the open support the plan hasreceived from some of them, notablyFrance. The gravity of the situationis further indicated by a proposition,which is said to be favorably consid-ered in England, for creating there agovernment reserve of wheat sufficient

to last at least six months. Govern-ment authorities are believed to be giv-

ing this project serious attention. If

it is undertaken there will be a largenew demand for American wheat. Per-haps that is all that will come of it,

and this is greatly to be hoped.—Hart-ford Courant.

EARLY METAL WORKERS.• -

i

Antiquity of the Art RstalilUlieil byRecently Dixcovereil lnKcription*.The earliest miners and metal work-

ers of whom we have record were theAyran peoples of Euro-Asian origin,

who, though of pastoral and arborealhabits, were familiar with the metalsand worked with them—at least withthe metals gold, silver and bronze.

Chaldeans and Assyrians, as we nowknow from the cuneiform inscriptions

which go back 3,000 years B. C., wereundoubtedly expert in the use of

metals, while the Egyptians had an in-

timate knowledge of the arts andsciences. In the brick and other in-

scriptions recently discovered artisans

are seen at work with curious details

of their methods and tools. Potters,

indeed, had attained eminence in their

art, and the Egyptians had certainly a

knowledge of chemistry, as the sam-ples of their glass blowing and the

stone pictures of tools, forceps, blow-pipe, etc., prove. Gold was largely usedat an early period—between 4,000 and5,000 years B. C., as we find from somenewly discovered and ingenious weigh-ing balances. Many centuries older

than the pyramids, which date from 50

to 60 centuries back, we have exam-ples of engineering in Memphis, whichcould not have been constructed with-

out tools and necessarily an acquaint-

ance with metals. The word “metals”is of Semitic origin—the Hebrew word“matals,’’ to forge, indicates an early

acquaintance with the fusing of ores

and the malleability of metalsT

How these early primitive people dis-

covered the uses of things must, of

course, have been through their wantsand needs, particularly after they left

pastoral and tent life and began to

build cities. The Arabs are credited

with being early acquainted with the

alloys, though alchemy, as a science

dates only from the sixteenth cen-

tury.—Self Culture.

StilK linn tints ut Xl|fht.

Wonderfully elaborate open-air fetes,

often the scene of some mummery or

coup de theatre celebrating scenes in

connection with venery, were frequent

occurrences. Thus Louis XIV. morethan once held stag hunts at night; andfor that purpose the great forest of

Chantilly was illuminated with torches,

and the hunted stag was forced to pass

through avenues lined by several thou-

sand men holding brightly flaring,

flaming flambeaux in their hands. Sev-

eral of the princesses of hift court weredaring riders, and from the letters of

one of these royal ladies, a duchess of

Orleans, we learn that in four years shewas present at the death of over a

thousand stags. Her descriptions of

the sport are most enthusiastic. “I

have had 26 falls, but have hurt myselfonly once,” she says in one of her let-

ters.—W. A. Baillie-Grohman, in Cen-tury.

HER FIRST LESSON.

ghe Learned from It « Truth as Cn*changeable as the Heaven*.

The small, anxious woman who was

keeping the boarding house suspected

that he was a crank the moment she

saw him. What first excited her sus-

picion was the fact that, although he

was very thin, he habitually wore a

frock coat. There is something about

a thin man in a Prince Albert coat that

invariably excites the distrust of his

fellow men. She was not surprised

when this boarder came to her with the

announcement that he was going to

leave.

“I’m very sorry,” she answered. “I

have done my best to make it comfort-

able.”

“You have, indeed. I have been pro-

foundly impressed by your solicitude

for my well being and I assure you that

as I journey onward through life, per-

haps never to encounter this boarding

house again, it will be sweetly refresh-

ing to recall that sometime and some-

where I have known a landlady whogave a thought to her boarders other

than to keep tab on when the rent camedue.”

The lady heaved a little sigh andblushed.

“If vou feel that way about it,” she

said, “I don’t see why you are going to

leave us.”

“I can’t stand suspense,” was the an-

swer. “Present discomfort is better

than complete ease combined with a

future that bristles with the terrors of

uncertainty. I am becoming attached

to this place. I would rather move nowand break the ties while they are still

slender than linger till the frost comesagain and be obliged to have my traps

carted around town while I seek otherlodgings in cold weather.”“But I don’t see why you will have

to move at all.”

“You are not experienced in runninga boarding house.”

“It’s true that I have been engaged in

this business only a short time. But I

don’t see how you found it out. I

thought I was providing exceedinglygood accommodations.”“Yes. The excellence of the estab-

lishment in all its branches was whatfirst excited my suspicion. Then I re-

solvedtoput you to the test. IknewthatI could determine with absolute accur-acy whether you were a novice and all

this care and attention to detail merelythe results of early enthusiasm. Youwill remember that tl*is morning I saidsomething at breakfast about the cof-

fee’s being rather slow to settle.”

“Yes. It seemed a little heartless ofyou to call attention to it before folks,

and 1 gave the cook a good talking !oabout it. I am sure it will not occuragain.”

The thin boarder looked down uponher and smiled indulgently.

“It is too bad,” he commented, “thatthis solicitude which does you so muchcredit should have been the means ofmy detecting your secret. Had youbeen old in the business, when youheard me say that it took the coffee along time to settle, you would have east

|

an icy look around the table and said

that it reminded you of some people.

That is a form of repartee that was in-

vented shortly after Adam and Eve left

the Garden of Eden to look for other ac-

commodations, and no one but a begin-ner would have let the opening pass. I

am sorry, but I prefer the peace ofmind that comes from a settled policy

to basking in the sunshine of luxuryonly to see it. day by day. obscured bythe shadow of a mercenary economy.This evening l will pay you the sevendollars and a half that I owe you andthen we will part.”

A long, hard line that had never beenthere before came into the face of thelittle landlady. She had taken her first

lesson in the eternal truth that themore one tries to please people the less

one is likely to succeed.—Detroit FreePress.

ECONOMY.I

I* "Well Enough for the Poor, ButLet the Rich Spend.

Rave at fashion and preach economyif you will. It is all the better for theworld that rich people should spendtheir money lavishly instead of hoard-ing it. Every flounce on the skirt ofHint glittering belle, ridiculous as it

may be from an artistic point of view,helps to make some dressmaker’s assist-

ant more certain ot her week’s work.Everything she “cannot possibly live

without,” though it be a gewgaw, suit-

able for a squaw, makes It so muchmore certain that every shopkeeper iit

the land shall prosper.

So, when her father scorning thered brick mansion in w hich her parentstook delight, spends a year or two in

elaborating a palace of white marblie,

he finds work for so many scores of la-

borers who else might starve or goto the poorhouse. So that finery is paidfor. so that one only “buys for cash,”there is more good than harm in thelong run in what seems like extrava-gance. An unpaid debt is a theft, anda theft is a crime; but honest purchaseswhich do not first or last bring thisabout, and looking at the good done to>

the masses and not at one individualbank account, cannot be called extrav-agance. A miser does more harm tohis fellowmen than a spendthrift, andthe only alarming point in the presentuniversal show and glitter is that un-lucky people with inadequate pursesmay seek to take a part in it at the ex-pense of trustful tradesmen.

If only the rich become extravagant,we say hurrah, and go ahead, even if

you do not leave a million or so to apoorhouse when you die. Your cook andcoachman and tailor and jeweler, yourwife’s dressmaker, and all the host 9f

working folk paid to minister to yourfar-reaching whims, have no need ofone.—N. Y. Ledger.

—Clevedon, Wis„ 15 years ago had abig hotel and a population of over 1,000.Now its houses are the halting placesof tramps, who pay no rent. Two hun-dred of them find the place a quiet re-tort, and it is called Trampville.

Why Green Bones Should Be UsedMuch More Extensively.

The profit is always sure when everydetail is correct. Cheap food must notbe estimated by the price paid for it

in the market. The cheapest food forthe poultryman or farmer Js that whichgives him the largest number of eggs.It matters not what the food costs, solong as the eggs correspond. It is theproduct by which we should measureand estimate.

Green bones are not used as exten-sively as they should be, because graincan be obtained with less difficulty andat a low cost, but as egg-producing ma-terial the bone is far superior to grain;nor does the bone really cost more thangrain in some sections. The cutting ofthe bone into available sizes is nowrendered an easy matter, as the bonecutter is w ithin the reach of all. Bonesfresh from the butcher have more orless adhering, and the more of suchmeat the better, as it will cost no moreper pound than the bone, while thecombination of both meat and bone is

almost a perfect food from which tc

produce eggs.

If the farmer can get two extra eggsper week from each hen in winter, hew ill make a large profit. We may addthat if the product of each hen canbe increased one egg per week only inw inter, that one egg will pay for all

the food she can possibty consume, andit therefore pays to feed the substancesthat will induce the hens to lay. If

the hens are consuming food and yet

the pump and thus secure the pipe frombecoming empty. With this arrange-ment water may be drawn underground to where it is needed from a

distance of ten or twenty rods withoutdifficulty, except that it must be from apoint not more than 25 feet lower thanthe pump cylinder. If the kitchen is

subjected to freezing temperature in

the winter the pump may be protected

by making a small hole at “a,” thus per-

mitting the water to escape down to

that point when the pump is not in use.

HUNTING THAT RAISED THE . . .

ANTE OF HIS BOY ANDY

The boy who bit a green apple remarkedwith a wry face: “ Twas evei thuu in childhood—sour!”

Mathematic*.There are people who tell us the distance

old Alother Earth is from the stars, count-ing miles upon miles into millions, as thedistance from Neptune to Mars. The waythey throw figures is awful, on the size ofthe little sun spot, and how long it wouldtake to walk round it if it wasn't so deueed-ly hot. They measure, the depth of theocean, and the distance across it as well,get the weight in the air of, a meteor, andlocate the right spot where they fell. Butastronomers and mathematicians all con-fess that they can’t get just right the milesgone over by papa, when he “totes” the crosskid in the night.—N. Y. World.

U.NCLE JOE SHROPSHIRE is one ofthe toughest and gamest woods-

men in all northern Pennsylvania, al-

though he is now past 75. The otherday. he came into the tavern at this

little lumber settlement with the pelts

of two enormous wildcats strung overhis shoulder. They were the largest ofthe kind ever seen in this region, wherebig wildcats arc no uncommon sight.

Uncle Joe was soon surrounded by a

group of curious loungers, and every-s

body wanted to know where he got thebig wildcat skins. He threw them onthe floor, leaned up against the bar, andsaid:

“Whar did I git ’em? Why, I peeled?ein offen the two varmints they grow'don, o’ course! Whar did ye ’spect I

got ’em? An’ I had a sight o’ fun adoin’ of it. too. Ye all remember howthat boy Andy o’ mine tackled the bigbuck he wounded last fall, an’ how hefit it for well-nigh an hour till he wasall but tore to pieces hisself before hekilled it? That fight o’ liis’n was aboutthe gamest thing that ever was done iu

our woods, an’ 1 was glad he made it

an’ came out all hunky, but I kep’ athinkin’ to myself that I didn't calc’late

to let Andy be the only man there wasin This deestric*, and ben keepin’ my•eye peeled ever since for a little streako’ luck myself. I looked fer it all win-ter, but it didn’t come my way, fer

every b’ar or buck I shot alius seemed to

drop deader’n a stone. There wasn’t

no fight left in ’em. I begun to thinkthat I guessed I'd have to wait till nex’

fall or winter, when t’other day I ae-

cident’ly diskivered that there was abig b’ar -sloshin’ round in Keiley’s Hol-ler, not fur, nuther, from whar Andymade his big buck give it up. I saysnothin’ to nobody, but one day I calls

old Jackson, my dog, an’ says to my-self that I guessed we’d meander outand see if -me an’ Jackson an’ the b'ar

couldn't pick up a muss betwixt us.

And so we meandered.“I'd ben out, I take it, fer bettern an

hour, an’ 'hadn’t see nothin’ o’ the b’ar.

It was purty hot in the swamp, an’ so

1 begun to edge out to’rds the openin’

to get some fresh wind. Jackson hekep" huntin' round, an’ I know’d if the

b'ar was anywliars in the countryJneksoifd be sure to hustle him out.

When 1 gut out on the edge o’ the

sw imp I see a rousin’ big hawk sailin’

along so high up that I thort mebbe heinowt l*e sarehin’ for a roostin’ plare

on a cloud somewhars, an’ I says to

myself that T guessed I’d see if I

couldn’t knock a feather or two outf nhim. jest to try my rifle, so I up an’

bangs away at him. He was a goodways up. but I’ve got him nailed on nij'

barn door now.“Jackson he was huntin’ round all the

while off in the swamp, an’ I hadn’t

scarcely got my gun down from myshoulder when 1 heerd the deuce and all

of a time 'mongst Ihe laurels. 1 says to

myself that l guessed old Jackson hadnosed bruin outen his hidin’ place, an’

the next second the brush opened an’

out didn't come the b'ar. but the w ild-

he come out, jee whoo-o-o-o I an’ I hadto up an’ lire quick. The consequences

was that. I didn't get the ball whar I

wanted it, an’ only jist broke the var-

SAVE YOUR FIELDS.THE MARKETS

If You Do Nof Fee«l Your Land ft WillRefuse to Feed You.

“Why do you feed your horse?” If

that question were asked the averagefarmer he would doubtless answer:“You are a fool; I feed him to keep himalive and able to work.” But if -the

question were asked: “Why don’t youfeed your land?” the average farmerwould not be so ready with his answer.Yet the one tiling is no more importantthan the other. If it is absurd to beable to work and produce results hav-ing no material to be converted intostrength, it is nc less so to expect landto produce crops continuously withouthaving new supplies of plant food withwhich to make them grow. No soil is

inexhaustible.

While there are lurge accumulationsof plant food in some localities, con-tinuous cropping and the leaching andwashing caused by rains will in timedeplete and exhaust them. It is hefller

to feed the land before it is starved. It

is easier to keep a horse fat than to

fatten a poor one; and it is easier to

keep land productive than to taka thatwhich is dead poor and make it so. Ahorse that is stil strong enough to as-similate his food can soon acquire hia

normal strength; he only wants aplen-ty of good food. Land that will growcrops of any leguminous plant wili, if

the same are plowed under or fed off

in the field, in a short time recoverenough tone to produce profitable cropsof other things. But H* allow ed to rundown so that neither clover nor peasw ill make a crop, it cannot be economic-ally restored. A word to the wise is

sufficient; begin this year to feed yourland, so that it in turn may feed you.

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS,To Destroy YVn*i»*’ Nest*.

A very simple and effective plan of

destroying the nests of the wasp con-

sists in saturating a piece 6f soft rag,

attached to a slender stick, in turpen-

tine, and then thrusting it into the

passage to the nest, stopping up the

hole with a piece of turf. It kills every

wasp, and there is no necessity what-ever for digging them out. L’se thor-

oughly good turpentine, for when it

has lost much of its strength it will

fail in its action. Such a remedy as

this is safe, and quite as good as the

dangerous preparations so often adopt-

ed. One or two tablespoonfuls of pul-

verized cyanide of potassium put into

the nest any time of the day forms a

good remedy. If quietly done the in-

gress of the insects is not in the least

disturbed. They enter readily, but

never return.

Causes or Swine Diseases.

As the hog is the most difficult of all

farm stock to give medicine to, pre-

vention will be found to be the best

remedy in most eases. Almost all dis-

eases of swine may be traced to neg-lect, insufficient and unwholesome food,

poor shelter, filthy, nauseous pens, ly-

ing in dung heaps, inhaling large quan-tities of deleterious gases, lying in cold,

wet beds and exposure to the inclem-

encies of the weather, permitting too

many to sleep together and breeding to

animals that have been diseased, or in-

and-in breeding, the feeding of smuttycorn, not providing clean, pure water—these are undobutedly the principal

causes of disease in swine.

MASTER’S SALEMASTER’S SALE'C. aiul O. Hospitals.

The questions of establishing and muin-taiuiug hospitals for the use of sick or injur-ed railroad men belonging to the C. and 0.system has been under disc ission for severalyears by its officials. And it would now seemas a result of these deliberations, that thetime has arrived foi making practical test ofthe plan

,

Other great railroad lines have establishedhospitals for the comfort and relief of theirsick or cripple ! employees, and so far.as theReview Is advised most beneficent resultshave followed. With equal conditions, anduuder a wise and liberal policy, so character-istic of the C. and O. management, similargood results will be accomplished nefre andthe hospital system be made as popular as it

is on other linesWith a view to the early adoption of t lie

hospital system on the t' and O. Railway,;

Mr. George W. Stevens, the general managerof the company, has selected a committee offour trustworthy railroad men—an engiuer, acond’ieto”. a fireman and a brakemau—audurnished them with round trip passes to go i

to at. L.ouis aim Moberly, Mo ,to investigate i

the hospital system on the Wabash and !

Pacific railways. Mr Charles A. Craft, ofClifton Forge, who vvill leavjou his missionto-day, will represent the Brotherhood of Lo-comotive Engineers, and will be joined atHuntington and Cincinnati by .» representa-tive from e*q|a of the ot h.-r bra ches of therain service named. Dr Brock,*«'f Kic’imo id,

minute inquiry into the matter by the com-mittee, to ascertain the benefit." to be derivedfrom a Institute of this character, tiie Ches-apeake and Ohio rail way company proposesto erect and own the h *sp tal buildings, andnot to tax toeir employees for their erection,as is done by some railways. The C. and O.company further, we learn, proposes to makeup any deficiency which may occur in main-taining their hospitals after collecting from15 to 50 cents per month for all employeeswho have worked a haif a month or more.The Review believes that the report of this

committee will be favorable to the adoptionof the hospital system on the C. aud O. rail-

way lines; and it further believes that a largepercentage of the employees of the road willheartily approve the wholesome innovationGladys Inn. admirably located and cor-

struoted, need not remain idle toug after its

abandonment a few months hence ns a hotel.It is just such a building ns is needed for afirst-class railway hospital, and the It view is

ings erected; one possibly at Huntington, andanotherat some suitable point east of CliftonForge.
