"IF thou be wise, tbou shalt be wise for thyself but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it."

SHEEP shearing by steam is an in-, novation recently introduced in this1 country from Australia. The first^ trial of the apparatus was made atCasper, Wyo., April 23. Mrs. J. B. Okie sheared an unresisting bleater in five minutes and pronounced the' machine "O. K." The time is com-, ing, apparently when the right toj work for a living will be denied to' all who are not able to pay a 'bonus! or provide themselves with the latest' patent right in their particular line: of endeavor.

A BOA CONSTRICTOR at the Ade laide, Australia, Zoological Gardens,' recently swallowed a Persian rusff ten feet square. The diet proved too heavy for the "delicate" creature, who, after two mouths mature andi deliberate reflection, concluded toj disgorge the fruit of the Eastern' loom. The carpet was not particu-* larlv damaged and at last accounts! the reptile was doing well. Thisj snake cost the Gardens $10,000, audj the authorities are greatly elated at ,the escape of their pet from what they feared would prove a fatal attack of indigestion.

THE Viking ship, now in New Orleans, has been sold to a syndicate of Chicago Scandinavians and will be returned to the World's Fair city,I so it is now said. It is hard to keepj track of all the reports about this' boat and the Ferris wheel. The last', rumor concerning the great revolver is that it will speedily be removed to New York. If the wheel is to be removed, now that the Peristyle and' the Agricultural Building are ruined and the beauty of the Court of Honor forever destroyed, it does not matter particularly what becomes' of the Viking ship. It is all very' well as far as it goes, but it was at trifling attraction in comparison to' these greater ones that we can see no more.

PARDONS with a string to them have been a favorite diversion with the President of late. Recently Mr. Cleveland granted a pardon to a woman, who had been convicted of a crime, on condition that she would leave the countrv and stay out. And again, last week, in granting clemency to a man convicted of counterfeiting, the crime having been committed while under the influence of liquor, the President affixed a note stating that the pardon had been granted on condition that the person abstain from intoxicating liquors for five years. Grover is liable to have some trouble in enforcing the conditions imposed, but there is no doubt that their imposition will have a certain restraining influence on the parties most concerned. They will veiy likely try to live up to the requirements, or at least labor very hard to keep any further transgressions from the President's knowledge.

A NO-TO-BAG MIRACLE

PHYSICAL PERFECTION PREVENTED BY THE USE OF TOBACCO.

An Old-Timer of Twenty-three Tears' Tobacco Cheering and Smoking Cared, and Gains Twenty Pounds in Thirty Days.

LAKE GENEVA, Wis., May 5.—Special. The ladies of our beautiful little fcown are making an interesting and exciting time for tobacco-using husbands, s'r the in'urious effects of tobacco and the eaie with which it can be cured by a preparation called No-To-Bac have been so plainly demonstrated by the cure of Mr. C. "Waite. tn a written statement he says: "I femoked and chewed tobacco for twenIhree year9, and I am sure that my case was ono of the worst in this part of the country. Even after I went to bed at night, if I woke up I would want to chew or smoke. It wa* not only killing me but my wife was also ailing from the injurious effects. Two boxes of No-To-Bac cured me, and I have no more desire for tobacco than I ,havo to jump out of the window. I have gained twenty pounds in thirty days, my wife is well, and we are indeed both happy to say that No-To-Bac is truly worth it3 weight in gold.' to us."

The cure and improvement in Mr. Waite's case is looked upon as a miracle—in fact, it is the talk of the town and county, and it is estimated that over a thousand tobacco users will be using No-To-Bac within a few weeks. The peculiarity about No-To-Bac as a patent medicine is that the makers, the Sterling Remedy Company, No. 45 Randolph street, Chicago, absolutely guarantee the us* of three boxes to cure or refund the money, and the cost, $2.50, is so trifling as compared with the expensive and unnecessary use of tobacco that tobac-co-using husbands have no good excuse to offer when their wives insist upon their taking No-To-Bac and getting result in the way of pure, sweet breath. wonderful improvement in their mental and physical condition, with a practical re vttali zaticn of their eicotized nerves.

GORMAN'S TARIFF BILL.

Radical Changes in the Fending Schedules.

The Identity of the Wilson Bill Complete• ly Lost—A Very Conservative Law Will Probably be

Passed.

At the executive session of tho Senate, Monday, Senator Jones presented the amendments to the tariff bill which have been considered and agreed to by the Democratic Senators, know as the compromise- committee, of which Senator Gorman was tihe leader. There are over 400 of them, and it makes a new biil or a measure greatly differing from the Wilson bill and from the Senate bill in any form in which it has been presented. The amendments heretofore presented by Senator Vest and reported from the finance committee are indorsed by the compromise committee. This is a general increase in the bill and in some schedules the increases are very marked. The now sugar schedule as proposed by this report practically gives the sugar trust a bonus of 810,000,01:0 a year. The glass schedule is changed and the general rate of duty is raised. All of the metal schedules are raised, The duty on scrap iron and steel is to be $4 per ton. The tobacco schedule is changed—the duty on wrapper tobacco will be §1.50 per pound stemmed, 52.25 per pound. House and Senate bills, $1 and $1.25 respectively, on above articles. Paragraph 281, relating in former bills to woolen cloths, is changed to read as follows: On knit fabrics and all fabrics made on knitting machines or fumes, including wearing apparel and on shawls, made wholly or in part of wool, worsted, hair of the camel, goat, alpaca or other animals, valued at not exceeding 4C cents per pound, 35 per cent. valued at more than 40 cents per pound, 40per cent. Senate bill, 35 per cent. House bill, 40. The date on which the reduction of rates provided for in manufactures of wool sh»ll take effect is fixed for January 1. 1895, instead of Dec, 2. 1894. Added to tht free list are the following: Dressed fui pieces, suitable only for the manufacture of hatters' fur molasses, testing not abovt 40 deg. polariscope test and containing 3C per centum or less of moisture. The general effect of the measure now proposed by this compromise committee is to make only a small percentage of reduction from the average rate of the McKinley bill, and it is regarded by tariff reformers as a practical surrender to the protection wing of the Democratic party. The Indianapolis Sentinel denounces the compromise in an editorial, charging treason to the cause that triumphed in tho election ot Cleveland in 1892, and urges the House to continue the fight and to refuse to concur in the bill thus doctored and transformed from its original shape and intent until it has become practically a Republican protection law scarcely less objectionable than the McKinley bill so odious to tariff reformers. It seems probable, however, that the measure will soon become a law. The Republican steering committee have determined to not filibuster against it. but wl'll waste time in talking. Senator Harris will have charge of the bill in the Senate and says it will be pushed to passage, and Speaker Crisp thinks Congress will be able to adjourn .July 4.

THE BI-METALLIC LEAGUE.

The International Bi-Metallic League is now in session at London. A pamphlet, which is now being circulated among the delegates is creating a sensation in financial circles of the world's metropolis. The author is Sir Joseph McKenna, ex-direct-or ofcthc National Bank of Ireland. It is devoted to proving that Lord Liverpool's legislation of 1S1G was simply a fraud, the object being to cheat the public out of 4 shillings in each pound, Troy weight, of new coin. It is added that Lord Liverpool made that paltry gain not for himself, but for the treasury. Sir Joseph McKenna acquits Lord Liverpool of intentional dishonesty, and prefers to attribute the fraud to his stupidity. Silverites claim that when this is understood It will strongly influence public opinion in favor of the re-establishmcnt of bi-metallism.

The following cable message from Senators of the United States was received by the Lord Mayor of Loudon, Thursday:

We desire to express our cordial sympathy with the movement to promote the restoration of silver by international agreement, in aid of which we understand a'meeting is held to-day, under your lordship's presidency. We believe that the free coinage of both gold and silver by international agreement at a fixed ratio would secure and maintain the blessing of a sufficient volume of metallic money, and. which is hardly less important, secure to the world of trade immunity from violent exchange fluctuations.

The document was signed only by Senators who voted for the repeal of the Sherman law, the signers being John Sherman, W. B. Allison, D. W. Voorhees, George F. Hoar, Nelson W. Aldrich, David B. Hill, Edward Murphy, A. P. Gorman, O. H. Piatt, Calvin Brice, Joseph M. Carey, Win. Fyre, C. K. Davis, S. M. Cullom, Henry Cabot Lodge.

At Valparaise, Monday, Randall's army split up on account of the dismissal of Captains Sullivan and McKane by Randall. One hundred men stood by Sullivan and secured the colors. A race then began between the seceders and regulars, each party trying to reach Westville first in order to obtain any supplies that might bo awaiting the advancing 'wealers. Twenty-eight armed deputy sheriffs from Laporte met, the advancing hosts and acted as an escort to Westyilie. Randall's branch pushed on through Westville four miles and made camp. /Sullivan in the meantime had been "elealed "general" by his men ifnd stopped in Westville and secured the provisions that had been donated, after which he marched his men to within one hundred yards of Randall's camp. Each army threw out pickets and the deputy sheriffs remained on duty. Randall's army numbered 312, Monday night, Sullivan's 104. There has been more than 10'J desertions from this division since Saturday night.

Frey's alleged industrial army marched out of Indianapolis, Monday morning, having been warned by the police that their "welcome was worn out." Tho "Gen." was in a defiant mood and boastod that he had made $503 clear cash out of the town in spite of the abuse lioaped upon him by the local press.

Gen, Coxey appeared on the witness stand at the VVashington police court, Monday, in his own behalf. A number of prominent Congressmen also appeared as witnesses—among them Representative Bland, of Missouri,

WOEFUL WEALERS.

"Jordan Am a Hard Boad to Trabbel."

Trials and Ibulatlons of the Various 'Divisions of the Commonweal Army.

An enterprising real estate man at Washington has offered to set the Coxeyites at work. He has a tract of land about three and a half miles distant from the city, which he desires to have cleared of underbrush and made ready for subdivis* ion. It is a pretty spot, and much healthier than the place now occupied by the Coxeyites. The owner. Dr. G. P, Gehering, offered to let the army camp on the tract and to pay them $503 if they would clear the ground. The proposition struck Coxey favorably, but Browne wasunwillling to mcve the camp so far from the city, and the offer was rejected.

The eighth day of Kelley'a stay at Des Moines saw his army hard at work building boats. All day Sunday the detail of 300 mechanics worked faithfully, and by night nearly fifty boats were far advanced toward completion, and at 5 o'clock the first boat was launched. It is expected that all will be ready for debarkation by Wednesday.

Galvin's army left Homestead, Sunday, and marched to McKeesport. A dispatch from Valparaiso, May 6, says: Randall is already having trouble with his army. A number of the dissatisfied held a meeting to-day. It was charged that the quartermaster was not dealing fairly that sardine sandwiches had reached the officers and favors in abundance, while the rank and file had to subsist on bread and water. The mutinous ones also complained of the ad* vanco work of the missionaries and fail to see any result from the amount of money put up to keep them in the field. If the present indications may be depended on there will be a large number of desertions very soon.

The trial of Coxey, Browne and Jones was continued in the Washington police court, Saturday. Representative Pence created something of a sensation by declaring that it was evident that the Court was endeavoring to help the prosecuting officers out of a hole, from which they had shown absolute incapacity to lift themselves. "Can you show any impropriety in the questions?" asked the Judge, "I can object that the questions are absolutely improper and misleading," responded Mr. Pence.

COL. BRECKINRIDGE'S DEFENSE.

Col, W. C. P. Breckinridge was greeted at Lexington, Ky„ Saturday, by an audience of 3,003 people, representing tho Seventh Congressional district, and made a lengthy and eloquent speech in his own behalf. Referring to his candidacy, he said that he did not regard a possible re-election as a "vindication or condonation" of his course in the Pollard matter. Continuing he said:

I do not wish this district to conceive thatl have any defense to make for what I have done, and of which I havo been guilty. Entangled by weakness, by passion, by sin, in coils which it was almost impossible to break. I did everything that was within my power to prevent a public scandal except the one thing which for no moment ever entered my mind. Your re-election of me can neither take from nor add to the punishment I have suffered. It has not been hypocrisy that my life has not been consistently wrong I knew the secret sin I tried to atone for it in ways that it is not becoming in me to more than allude. If some one in your midst can better do the work you want done a- your representative, choose him I shall submit some one whose life has been stainless, whose morals your young men can imitate with prolit whose days have been pure and whose nights have been sinless whose ability is ample, whose experience is wide. For a hundred years tliis district has been represented by men. They have not always been sinless men. and whether you re-elect or reject me, her after when somo one comes to write its history, whatever blame may attach to me, he will write of me that, eveu with that blame, he loved the poor, he toiled for his fellow-men, he labored for good causes: and as this historian turns over tho pa^es of the record in which my utterances are contained, he will rise from them with tho belief that I wa^ loyal to my principles, faithful to truth, devoted to you.

THE ANTWERP EXPOSITION.

The International Exposition of Belgium was formerly opened at Antwerp, Saturday,by King Leopold,in the presence of 100,003 spectators. The flags of tho United States and pf Belgium were intertwined on the canopy over the royal chair, and the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by the Orchestra Grande Militaire was the signal for a great outburst of enthusiasm. After the exercises the King and foreign representatives made a tour of the buildings, and were afterward entertained at luncheon by the Exposition authorities. Stanislas H. Ilaine and James P. Holland, of Chicago, respectively special delegate and secretary of the commission of the United States, were extended distinguished consideration during the exercises. The Exposition is in afar from complete state, and at least another month will be required to finish the work. It occupies two hundred acresj of ground in a new quarter of the cityj beside the river Scheldt. Its main build'' Sngs, constructed of iron and steel, and roofed with zinc, cover 1,080.000 square feet. They are continuous with ono an' other, covering the west and northwest sides of the grounds, and thus forming an obtuse angle. The American building is a handsome structure, 240 150 feet, There are numerous foreign villages, and an American plaisance. The principal novelty of tho Exposition is a castle in the air, or cafe, seating 500, supported above tho tops of the buildings by bal* loons.

Calling Up Another World.

"Hello!" he called through the 'phone, "give me St. Peter, please." Then he listened, and as he listened his face took on a queer expression. After a minute* :he signaled that he was through with the wire, shrugged his shoulders and then sat down. "What did St. Peter say to you. Bob?" asked a friend.

THE A. P. 1 PRINCIPLES.

A Formal Declaration of Them—The Blec tlon of Officers.

The Supreme Council of tho American Protective Association concluded its fourdays' session at Des Moines, Saturday night, by electing the following officer*: Supreme President, W. J. II. Tray nor, of Detroit Vice President, the Rev. Adam Faucett, of Columbus, O. Chaplain, J. J. Gosper, of Los Angeles Secretary, C. L. Beatty, Saginaw, Mich. Treasurer, H. M. Stark, of Milwaukee Past Supreme President, H. F. Bowers, of Clinton, la. Sergeant-at-Arms, E. II. Dunbar Guard, E. M. Wood (colored), of Illinois Sentinel, Wm. Meeker, of Kentucky.

The declaration of principles is as follows: 1. Loyalty to true Americanism, which knows neither birthplace, race, creed nor party, is the first requisite for membership in the American Protective Association. 2. The American Protective Association jis not a political party, and does not control the "political affiliation of its members, .but it teaches them to be intensely active jin the discharge of their political duties .in or out of party lines. 3. While tolerant of all creeds, it holds •that subjection to and support of any ecclesiastical power, not created and controlled by American citizens, and which claims equal if not greater sovereignty than the government of the United States of America is irreconcilable with American citizenship. 4. We uphold tho Constitution of the United States of America, and no portion of it more than its guaranty of religious liberty, but we hold this riAigious liberty to be guaranteed to the individual and irt.it to mean that under its protection any un-American ecclesiastical power can claim absolute control over the education of children growing up under the stars and stripes. 5. We consider the non-sectarian free public school the bulwark of American institutions, the best place for the education of American children. 6. We condemn the support out of the public treasury by direct appropriation or by contract of any sectarian school, reformatory or other" institution not owned and controlled by public authority. 7. Believing that exemption from taxation is equal to a grant of public funds, we demand that no real or personal property be exempt from taxation the title to which is not vested in the National or State government, or in any of their subdivisions. 8. We protest against the enlistment in the United States army and navy or the militia of any State of any person not an actual citizen of the United States. 9. We demand, for the protection of our citizen laborers, the prohibition of the importation of pauper labor and the restriction of all immigration to persons who can not show their ability and honest intention to become self-supporting American citizens. 10. We demand the change of naturalization laws by a repeal of the act authorizing the naturalization of minors without a previous declaration of intention. and bv providing that no aliens shall be naturalized orr permitted to vote in any State of the Union who can not speak the language of the land and who can not prove seven years' continuous residence in this country from tlit date of his declaration of intention. 11. We protest against the gross negligence and laxity with which the judiciary of our land administers the present naturalization laws, and against the practice of naturalizing aliens at the expense of committees or candidates as the most prolific source of the present prostitution of American citizenship tojthe basest uses. 12. We demand that all hospitals, asylums, reformatories or other institutions iu which people are under restraint, be at all times subject to uublic inspection, whether they are maintained by the public or by private corporations or individuals. lit. Wo demand that all National or State legislation affecting financial, commercial or industrial interests be general iu character, and in no instance in favor of any one section of the country or any one class of jmople.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

In the Senate, Thursday. Mr. Quay resumed his speech against the tariff bili but soon yielded the floor to Mr. Chandler, who gave his idea of what the tariff bill would have been if Democrats had beei: true to the Chicago platform. When Mr. Chandler took his seat, Mr. Quay resumed hisspeech. Mr.Quay at3:30p.m. becomin? weary, asked the clerk to read portion of his speech. Mr. Harris, who had been alertly watching, raised a point of ordei against tho clerk reading a Senator's speech. Mr. Quay said that he was somewhat fatigued, and thought a short respite would relieve him. Harris replied sharply that he was glad to afford Mr. Quay any relief in his power, but when the Senator from Pennsylvania insisted upor speaking for a week he would have to insist that ho make it himself. A dispute over the absence of a quorum here interrupted Mr. Quay, and pending its settlement the Senator from Pennsylvania was permitted to rest.

HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.

Growing Popularity of the Oxford Sewing Machines There is nothing more truly a household treasure than a good sewing machine. To be without it is to be willfully deprived oi the immense advantage of one of thtj greatest of all inventions. A machino once bought is a perpetual treasure. If demands no wages, occasions no expensd or trouble and is always ready without a moment's notice to render the work oi the laborious housewife tenfold moreeffi-1 cient and expeditious. Some machined combine the best ideas and suggestions which have been so abundantly intro* duced in this remarkable mechanism.

A machine which exhibits in liberal combination all the best features intro* duced is the Oxford Improved Sewing Machine, made by the Oxford Manufacturing Company, Chicago, description and cut of which can be seen in the advertising columns of this paper. They make high and low arm machines, with lock-stitch sh

Some writer very aptly likens the nerves to electric wires, and thejreneral working of their system to that of electric cars. A man who "slips his trolly," like Mr. Jeremiah Eney, & 1812 W.
