would dn after discussion of legal methods. This is a matter of detail for the Legislature. The pledge of those platform is for the proper regulation* of the evils, and the Republican party has never yet made a pledge it has broken. The speaker then took up Governor Hoadly’s argument that it is not competent for the Legislature to tax the liqnor trade, and pointed 6nt. that a Democratic Supreme Court, in deciding the Scott law unconstitutional, did not decide that the principle of taxation was unconstitutional, but that one feature of the law —that making the tax on the traffic a lien on property occupied as a saloon—was unconstitutional; be also adduced the point that the same Supreme Court decided that the tax collected from liquor-dealers should not be returned. The position is, that, it is unconstitutional to take the'tax, and unconstitutional to give it back; he declared that it is not only constitutional to tax the liquor traffic, but equitable to make it Aire the burdens of the crime it produces. Oi .To, three times, lias overwhelmingly defeated lift use: yet Democrats come here pretending to favor license. When Governor Iloadly proposes this he knows it wiil be two years before a license proposition can be submitted to the people, who have heretofore rejected it. The Republican party takes hold of the matter in a practical w-*y, dealing with the Constitution as it is. We can tax, wo can regulate under that Constitution, and will do so as may seem best to promote tl e public welfare. Then the speaker demanded of Governor Hoadly whether he was in favor of high or low grade license, a SI,OOO or a SSO one? How would he provide for securing license? Whether, as in the constitutional convention of 187?. ho was in favor of taxation of the churches and school-houses of the State? The speaker believed in letting them go free. Religion and education are necessary to the welfare ot the people. Foraker then turned his attention to the fast Legislature, which, he declared, was the moat infamously corrupt in the historv of the •State; so corrupt that, while Governor Hoadly approves of it, yet tho coal-oil members are believed to have sold their vote to elect Payne senator, and were ail dropped by their constituents. Tho speaker then read charges of corruption and bribery in the election of Senator Payne from a number of prominent Democratic j mrnals. The speaker thon turned to the Democratic management of the Ohio penitentiary. He showed that in this institution, under tho last year of Governor Foster’s administration, there had been a net profit of over $53,000, while the next year, the first of Democratic rule, this had been reduced to SIO,OOO, SB,OOO of which was from the Republican system of management in vogue when they took hold. He then reviewed the financial statements for the first nine months of the prosent year, showing a deficit of over $90,000, as the price the people pay for Democratic mismanagement. Is it, he said, not time for a change of administration? The Legislature has undertaken to lay violent hands upon tho principles of local self-government, lie then referred to the so-called “Ripper” bills, reorganizing Cincinnati and other cities in the interest of the Democratic party. The speaker promised to speak in full of the Cincinnati “Ripper” bill in his Saturday night speech in that city. The speaker exhibited a colored map, showing the redistricting by the Democrats, one ward being a narrow strip seven miles long, another three and one fourth, and seven others three miles long, and only a few rods wide, the purpose being to give three or four hundred Democrats the same power in electing coun-ilmen as 1,200 or 1,400 Republicans; he upheld the plan of redistricting by the Republicans, showing that it was fair and just. Tho speaker turned to tho bonded debt of the State, and showed that eighteen months before the bonds were due, a statute was passed for its refunding, which differed from all former laws for such purposes in allowing new bonds to be disposed of without advertising, but the refunding might be done by private qpntract, approved by the Governor. He then explained the refunding contract, which was attempted to be entered into at 3.65 per cent. per year, which would give 19£ per cent. for the time the bonds to run —a profit of over $400,000 to the person securing the contract. Judge Foraker closed by referring to Gov. Hoadly’s conduct in the constitutional convention, and asked him if he were still opposed to having any mention of God in the State Constitution? Whether he still opposed a provision for Impeaching judges for drunkenness? Whether he was still in favor of taxing churches and schools? Judge Foraker declared he was not in favor of taxing them, as he regarded religion <uid morality as safeguards of the Nation. He closed by asking if Governor Hoadly favored high license, or low license; a SI,OOO, or a SSO licenso. GOVERNOR HOADLY’S CLOSING SPEECH. His close was met with a round of cheers, and Governor Iloadly stepped forward and said twice: “Dodged again.” “He talked for an hour and a half, and no human being can tell if he is for prohibition or against it.” Regarding the charges of corruption concerning the election of Senator Payne, which Judge Foraker read from Democratic papers, Governor Hoadly said that when there is suspicion of double dealing in the Democratic party. Democrats are up in arms protesting, but in the Republican ranks there is silence when corruption is on foot. As to the strictures on tho penitentiary management, lie showed that there were two Republican members of the board, and there has never been a protest nftpinst tho action of the board from them. Tho >enitentiary came to the Democrats nothing ■ut walls, and prisoners and vermin. The ’late has made no money, but it is because of he change from the convict contract to the ioco price system. He declared that the expenses of the State government for Ins two years were $151,000 less than the last two years of Republican administration. He disputed Judge Foraker’s, statement of extravagance in the State expenditures. Regarding the decision bf the Supreme* Court as to refunding the Scott tax, Governor Hoadly noted the fact that the decision was made by a bench of but three judges, two of whom were Republicans. He extolled the liquor code of the State, repealed by the Scott law. and declared it provided perfectly aganst the evils of drinking to excess. He declared in favor of low license, as against high license, and against prohibition. He did not favor license so high that it would prohibit. Regarding the “ltinper” bill, Gov. ernor Hoadly showed up the Republican reorganization of Cincinnati, twenty years ago, from which he declared tho Columbus bill to be copied. Ho closed with a severe arraignment of the Republican party for inconsistency, but expressed the kindest feelings for Judge Foraker personally. Round alter round of cheers for both speakers were given as the meeting closed. The order was excellent, and the audience paid the closest attention throughout. SENATOR JOHN A. LOGAN. lie Is Given a Banquet at Baltimore, anti Preaches Somul Republicanism. Baltimore, Oct. B.— Gen. John A. Logan was tendered a banquet at tne Eutaw House, tonight, by the Logau Invincibles of Maryland. About a hundred and twenty-five people participated in tho banquet. After removal of the cloth, General Logan was welcomed by W. M. Marine, Republican candidate for clerk of the Court of Appeals. General Logan responded by returning thanks to the Logan Invincibles, and paid a high compliment to the sociability, hospitality, energy, wealth, intelligence and growth of Baltimore. Os national affairs he said: “This government is a republic in name, and will be until the people Bhall be educated up to a point where every citizen shall hare a voice in the affairs of the Nation without let or hindrance." lie declared it the duty of every honest mnn, ot whatever party, to speak and vote against all who tolerated fraud or violence to derive an American citizen of his ballot or voting for his choice. Education was the groat remedy to relieve the country from the disgrace now nesting upon it. Because of the brutality exercised against the rights of American citizens in many parts of the Union, the Republican party attempted to enact appropriate measures for tho education of those unable to educate themselves, but had been defeated by the votes of those who tried to destroy the government, aud who now dominate the Southern States—the party of State rights, free trude. seceesion, and relentless persecutions. He asked if the preseat administration will use its influence in trying to remedy this evil, or quietly encourage it in order to continue the solid South, so that, with their northern allies, the country

can be kept within Democratic control. He spoke of the cry of bloody shirt, and said it was made by Democrats, who raised that cry upon every criticism of those who tried to destroy the Union. Speaking of the campaign in Virginia, he said he had learned from newspapers that the Democratic candidate for Governor uses the saddle and bridle used by Robert E. Lee. and from the shouts one would suppose that the saddle was the candidate, and not the man who rides on it. If he should be elected it would doubtless be by the influence of that saddle and bridle. This treason-stained saddle appears to be the leading card. Remarks were also made by Hon. S. B. Elkins, Hon. John Thomas, and others. IN NEW YORK STATE. Quarrels Among the Metropolitan Democracy—Republicans Buoyant ami Confident. Now York Special. The hope of Democratic harmony in this city was destroyed to-day by the announcement of County Democracy leaderg that they do not propose to divido any city offices with Tammany. Irving Hall follow-ed with the announcement that it thought the coming contest should be “every fellow for himself,” and it is very probable that all three of the factions will place tickets in the field. This decision is damaging to the State ticket, and Governor Hill is making strenuous efforts to break it. The fact of the matter is that Hill is not the candidate of any shade of Democratic feeling here, and the factions care very little for him. It is known that Hill dislikes the President, and the Cleveland Democrats do not, propose to give the State ticket any comfort, and very few straight votes. Only a few days ago Governor Hill attempted to dictate some line of policy to the County Democrats, and was frankly told that he was a countryman and had no voice in metropolitan affairs. The Democratic State committee’s treasury is very low, the only contribution of any moment received thus far being Roswell P. Flower’s check for $15,000. The Republicans are buoyant throughout the State, and are confident of victory. It is even said that deals are in process of completion in which the city Republicans will join the County Democracy on certain city and county officials with “any thing to beat Tammany”as the campaign motto. The mugwump press and leaders continue to impress upon the independents the necessity of voting the Republican State ticket if they would sustain President Cleveland and his civil-service policy. The Democracy of New York and Brooklyn are dead set against civil service, and have so declared. Bets laid since Monday are SIOO to SBO against the Democratic State ticket. Mr. Manning; Will Vote. - Washington, Oct B.—The following explains itself: “Washington, Oct. 8. “Alton B. Parker, chairman of the Executive Commute of the Democratic State Committee, of Now York: “Dear Sir—lt is my intention to go to Albany, next month, for the purpose of voting the Democratic ticket, which should be, and 1 believe will be elected. I have no doubt that President Cleveland will do likewise. While Governor of the State, he never failed to go to Buffalo to ex ercise this right, and I am sure ho feels it to be his duty to do so now. Certainly he is anxious for the success of the ticket headed by Governor Hill, as ho was for tho success of that ticket which his own name led to victory three years ago. Sincerely yours, Daniel Manning.” Davenport and Carr Accept. New York, Oct. B.—The letters of acceptance of Hon. Ira Davenport and Gen. Josoph B. Carr, Republican candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-governor, respectively, are promulgated to-night. They accept the principles laid down in tho State platform. Mr. Davenport declares himself m favor of civilservice reform, and “for appropriate legislation by Congress putting an end to the silver coinage, already excessive, and calling for honest silver dollars on the basis of the gold standard.” The Evcrs-Watson Land Suit. Special to the linliauaDolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Oct. B.—An Associated Press dispatch in a recent issue of the Journal from Oxford, Miss., concerning the decision in the United States Court of an important suit, involving the ownership of a million acres of land in the State of Mississippi, between Col. E. B. Evers, of London, England, and Thomas Watson, of Chicago, is denied by Mr. Watson. The dispatch alluded to states that a decree was rendered, in which all the lands are awarded to and revert back to their original owners, Colonel Evers and his associates. Mr. Watson, who is now here, is advised by telegram from his son, M. D. Watson, who has been in attendance upon the trial, that the decree of the court is that Mr. Watson will get the money back which he has advanced on the lands, amounting to about $200,000, with interest, within ninety days, or tho title to the lands wili finally vest in him. Failure of Philip Smith. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Sidney, 0., Oct. B.—The firm formerly known as Philip Smith Bros. & Cos., but latterly as Philip Smith, made an assignment, this morning. to John W. Skillen. Ho has been the proprietor of a fouudry and machino shop hero for more than a quarter of a century, and his trade was largely in Indiana. His liabilities are about $27,000; assets not known. The Woman’s Congress. Des Moinks, la., Oct 8. —Th* proceedings of the second day’s session of the Womans’ Congress were marked by increased attendance and interest. In the afternoon session Dr. Anna Dinsmore French, of New York, read a paper on “The Comparative Effects on Health, of Professional, Fashionable and Industrial Life.” This was followed by a paper by Rev. Antoinette Blaekwell, of New Jersey, on the subject, “Is the Law of Progress One of Harmony or Discord?” In the evening Dr. Lida G. Bell, of Chicago, gave an address on “Human Parasites,” and Ada C. Sweet, late pension agent at Chicago, read a paper on “Ministeriug Labor.” After the close of the session, the ladies of tho congress were given a formal reception in the Governor’s rooms in the new capital. Rev. Jardine Will Submit. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. B.—Rev. PI. D. Jardine, bing interviewed to-night regarding the verdict of the ecclesiastical court, said he would submit to canonical authority and retire without futrher ado from his position in St Mary’s Church. He had asked for anew trial, but had little hope of getting it. as he expected po clemency from the bishop. He maintains that the charges of immorality against him are simply a cloak used by the officers of the church to cover their real opposition to him, which is on account of his high church views. He will remain in Kansas City for the present. In reply to a question, the deposed rector intimated that he might eventually seek the seclusion of a monastery. Steamship News. Bremen, Oct.

Tid-Bita. “Yea, I used to be a confirmed be*r-drinker, but thanks to the efforts of kind friends, I was able to throw off the awful habit, * said the speaker at a Kentucky temporauce meeting. “Don’t you kind o’ hanker after is now? - ’ asked a dyspeptic in the crowd. “No, sir, not a cent’s worth." “How did yon stopf’ “Just took a little whisky now and then, until the taste for beer was wholly eradicated. It was a glorious triumph, gentlemen."

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Daily Chron.de of Happenings of all Kinds in the Two States. Discharge of the Alleged Murderers of Owen —A Dangerous Lunatic—Kokomo Votes Against Water-Works—Gleanings. INDIANA Judge Carroll Orders the Discharge of the Prisoners Held for the Owen Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Joura&L Marion, Oct. B.—ln the Circuit Court, this morning, the case of the State of Indiana vs. Ira Owen, Samuel Owen and Martha Owen, indicted for murder in the first degree, was called for trial. A jury was impaneled, and the opening statement of the State had been presented by noon. At 5 o’clock this afternoon tho testimony for the prosecution was all in. The case was a very weak one, and the defense agreed to submit it to the jury without presenting any testimony. At this juncture Judge Carroll took the case in hand and told the jury there was no case, and instructed that a verdict of not guilty be rendered, which was promptly don<v and the prisoners were discharged. The murder of which the prisoners were accused was that of Weden Owen, committed on the 19th of September last, eight miles north of this city. The prisoners acquitted to-day were the two sons and the wife of the deceased. An impenetrable veil of mystery surrounds the case. The acquittal of the accused does not signify that all doubt of their guilt is removed, but the evidence would not warrant a conviction. Capture of a Dangerous Lunatic, special to tue Indianapolis Journal, Franklin, Oct. B.—About noon yesterday a man, coat less and vestless, and in his stocking feet, with his hands badly swollen and bleeding, was brought to this city in a wagon and given into the custody of Sheriff Stewart. He gives the name of Alonzo Leslie, and is probably deranged from the use of liquor. He walked from Indianapolis down the Three-notch road last night, and this morning near Smith’s valley began a murderous attack by throwing stones at farmers passing in wagons upon the highway, striking and severely injuring three or four of them, who only escaped more serious injury by flight. He attempted to enter the house of Thomas Paddock, a farmer, but Mrs. Paddock, who was alone, seized a shot-gun and drove him off. He then assaulted a man named Russell, who was hauling logs for Horace Fletcher, and knocked him down, badly brusing him Russell was handed the shotgun by Mrs. Paddock, and fired, filling Leslie’s hands with shot and rendering him incapable of further mischief. Leslie’s family is said to be in the Marion county poorhouse, and he himself is said to have been at one time an inmate of tho Hospital for tho In sane. Mob Violence Threatened. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Oct B.—Jacob Endriess died today from the effects of knife wounds received on Sunday.

Tho wife received $5,200 alimony. Minor Notes. Salem is preparing to advertise for bid3 for water works. One doc killed nineteen sheep belonging to Green McCarty at Jeffersonville. The list rate for whipping one’s wife in New Albany is only $6 50. At least that is what Swayne Jones paid in ’Squire Huckeby’s court. Mr. Benjamin Brushfield, a well-known candlemaker. and a much-respected and need Madisonian, was found dead in bed at his home yesterday morning. While Vestal Hayden, of Cartersburg, was holding a block of wood with one hand and using the ax with the other, he struck one arm with an ax, and almost severed the member. The attraction in Gveensburg at present is the pumpkin show. Twenty-five dollars is offered in premiums. The largest pumpkins exhibited are two that were grown on the same vine, and weigh 149 and 151 pounds, respectively. Burglars entered John Ingling’s dry-goods store, at Bridgeport, and secured money,* goods, etc., to the amount of S4OO. They afterward stole a horse and buggy from Joel * Hawkins, a farmer living near there, and made good their escape. B. F. Morey, a well-known citizen of Vermillion county, was found in his barn last night by his son William, speechless and nearly dead, having been stricken with paralysis while doing his evening work.

Professor Alma Holman, of the chair of modern languages at De Pauw University, has resigned her position, and will be succeeded by Rev. Jus. R. Weaver, of Philadelphia. Mr. Weaver, who, as consul-general, has represented the United States in several countries of Europe, has just returned from Vienna, where ho was last located. Ha will enter upon his

duties next week, while Mrs. Weaver will remain for the present with her mother, Mrs. Bishop Simpson. At Greensburg, several weeks aeo, an obscene circular implicating prominent citizens in lascivious conduct was freely circulated there. Doctor Leatherman, then a resident, was at once suspected. Last night he was brouebt there from Cincinrati on a requisition charged with libel. The trial will produce a great sensation. . A sample contribution to the Iloosier Gretna Green, according to the Louisville Courier-Jour-nal: “Harmon Homer and Miss Minnie Rankin came over from Frankfort, Kv., on Tuesday evening, and were married by Squire Lee of Jeffersonville. The groom was very drunk at the time, and asked the ’Squire to keep the matter out of the papers. ” At Terre Haute the body of Lizzie Robinson was found in a cistern on Wednesday. The prosecutor, convinced that it was the duty of the grand jury to make a thorough and complete investigation, ordered the arrest of Henry Robinson, the husband of tho dead woman, and he is now in jail.

San Francisco, Oct B.—The immense wholesale stationary and printing establishment of H. S. Crocker & Cos., or. Bush street, burned to the ground this morning. Four men were buried in the ruins. The first alarm was turned in at 2:10 a. m., but as the fire originated in the basement, and was what is known as a blind fire, the flames had already made considerable headway before the extent of the danger was realized. In an incredibly short time the whole interior of the large five-story building seemed to be a mass of flames, and all prospect of saving it or any of its contents was hopeless. The building was owned by Charles Crocker, of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and was worth $75,000, but was not insured. The loss of H. S. Crocker <fc Cos. is $400,000, insured for $225,000. Schweitzer. Sachs & Cos., jobbers of fancy goods, on Sansome street, the rear of whose premises adjoined those of Crocker, lose heavily from damage by water. The origin of the fire is a mystery.

Hooper, general passenger agent of the Denver & Rio Grande road, furnishes the official Railway Guido for October with the following very interesting statement of facts concerning the “Transcontinental Tea Trains” which have been recently run over that road. “The switching at Pueblo was certainly remarkable. Yard Master Stewart has performed a feat which cannot be surpassed. His work having been performed absolutely without delas* leaves no room whatever for future improvement. It may be equaled, but can never be surpassed. The third transcontinental tea train over the Denver & Rio Grande road, consisting of fifteen cars, passed through Pueblo at 8 o’clock on the morning of Sept. 4. A fine piece of switch work was done by the railroad boys- when it arrived; they changed engines, changed cabooses, and added three more cars of freight to the train, all on the wing, not stopping the train at all, which kept right on running through the town at a rate of not less than twelve miles an hour. The manner in which* this work was done was as follows: An engine was held ready on the main track, while the incoming engine was cut off and switched onto a side track, allowing the cars to run up to the fresh engine, vvbch started up and allowed them gradually to come together. The caboose was dropped off and the third engine was ready on another side track and overtook the train after it got past the switch, and attached three cars and anew caboose while all were in full motion. This was done under tho supervision of the yard master, Sam Stewart, late of the Ohio & Mississippi railway. These three tea trains, of which the one just described was the third, have been the occasion of a great deal of comment among railroad men here. The men at Grand Junction and Salida did tho yard work in from five to twelve minutes, and telegraphed to Pueblo: “How is that?” This put the Pueblo men on their metal, and the second train was stopped in that city only one minute and forty seconds, and tho third train is recorded as having arrived and departed at 8 a. m., not showing any stop at all. The train was brought to Pueblo* by Engineer Hill and Conductor Harrison, having come from Salida, ninety-seven miles, in three hours and twenty-seven minute?. It was taken north by Engineer Daly and Conductor Wilds, and reached Denver, a distance of 120 miles, in six hours and twenty minutes. This freight was transferred at Denver to the Burlington and Missouri cars, at the rate of ten minutes to each car. This second train consisted of twenty-five carloads of tea on the way from San Francisco to New York, valued at nearly a million of dollars. It made the trip over the entire length of the Denver & Rio Grande railway, Ogden to Denver, including the mountain divisions between Grand Junction and Canon, over grades of 211 feet to the mile, at the rate of twenty miles an hour.” A Chance fur Cluverius. Staunton, Va., Oct. 8. —To dav the Supreme Court granted a writ of error in the famous Cluverius case. Our CiviLService Reformer. New York World. The President wishes the Democratic party of New York walk Don't forget that.

TEE STREET-CAR STRIKE AT ST. LOUIS. A Reasonably Q'fe&i Day, Followed by Serious Disturbances in* the Evening. St. Louis, Oct B.—The striking street car men bad an enthusiastic meeting at Turner Hall this morning. Secretary Heep, of the executive board of the Knight3 of Labor, said that the various unions of the Trades Assembly held meetings last night and determined to aid the strikers. The executive board of the Trades Assembly have appointed a committee te meet the executive committee of the strikers, to act as an ambitration committee. These committees had a conference to-day, and will attempt to settle the troubles between the men and the managers of the railroads. Cars wore running this morning on the Cass avenue road, but they stopped about 9 o’clock. On nearly all the other roads, either full or partial service was being performed up to noon, with no reported disturbances and no arrests. The day passed off with reasonable quietness until nearly 6 o’clock this evening, when a party of strikers congregated about the street-cars of the Cass-avenue line, on Seventh street, between Market and Walnut and began to intimidate the conductors and drivers. A squad of police soon appeared, and the strikers dispersed, but only to change their base, for they immediately wont to Pine street, between Seventh and Ninth streets, out of which three different lines run, and derailed one or two cars. This stopped traffic, and nearly a dozen cars soon gathered at that point. A crowd immediately collected, and a man named John Doyle was knocked under a moving car and run over. This exasperated the crowd, which contained many of the unruly element besides strikers, and they dragged the driver from the car and threatened to lynch him. He was rescued by the police, however, and taken to the station to save him from the mob. The crowd then unhitched the teams from the cars and turned them loose, and "slugged” all the drivers and conductors they could lay hands on, but none of them were badly hurt. Among the persons assaulted was Mr. John Scuilen, the president of one of the Union Depot lines, and also of the Mound City road. He was pretty roughly handled, but not much injured. Notwithstanding the police were active and arrested ten of the mob, the crowd was equally alert, and some of them loosened the brakes on the cars which were standing on a down grade, and set them running down the hill, which resulted in a collision, the breaking of windows and jamming of platforms. Finally the police got the mastery of the mob, and dispersed them. Other teams were then sent for, and the cars were taken to the stables by friends ot the roads, who volunteered to run them, and traffic was suspended for the night The Knights of Labor Convention. Hamilton, Ont., Oct. B.—The Knights of Labor, at their session yesterday afternoon, discussed the important question of relegating the power to deal with strikes and other great questions from the general assembly to State or Provincial assemblies. The question opens up vast possibilities, and the Knights have been very careful to take every precaution to avoid* a conflict of authority between the proposed State assemblies. No definite action has yet been taken in the matter. Nothing has been done, as yet, in regard to the lockout on the Wabash lines, which has now existed seventeen weeks, but the subject will soon come up again. Last night, the local assembly gave a social in honor of the visiting delegates, at which Grand Master Workman Powderly made an address. The visitiDg delegates expressed themselves as delighted with the treatment accorded them by their Hamilton brethren. Idle Glassworkers. Boston, Oct. B.—All the glass manufactories of Pennsylvania, New York and the New England States are now idle, the men being ou strikes, except at Boston and Sandwich, and the New England manufactory at East Cambridge, Mass. This takes in thirteen factories in Brooklyn, one in Philadelphia, one in Meriden, and one in Somersetville. President W. J. Smith, of Pittsburg, the national head of the American Flint-glassworkers’ Union, was in Somersetville yesterday, and is conducting the strikes. Further strikes and lock-outs are talked about Coopers Demand Increased Wages. Chicago, Oct. B.—About six hundred coopers, employed at Armour’s and Fowler’s packinghouses, went out on a strike to day for an advance in wages from $2.75 to $3 a day. Work is not seriously interfered with, as the supply of barrels on hand is large. Call for a Labor Convention. Washington, Oct. B.— The executive committee of the Washington branch of the United Labor League of America has issued a call for a convention of representatives of all the leagues in the country, to meet in New York city Oct. 20. MB. TILDBN’S KITCHEN GARDEN. The Sage Takes a Great Interest in Rural Pursuits and Incidentally in Politics. Interview with Chairman of Pennsylvania Democratic Committee. “And now, Mr. Hensel, will you disclose what Mr. Tilden had to say about political" ‘T can say that he takes an active interest in politics, which he shows by pertinent inquiries and by close attention to that topic, in reading and in conversation. While I was at Greystone he inquired what I had heard of .the campaign in Ohio. Then he 83ked, with a smile: “ ‘What will be the Republican majority in Pennsylvania?’ “ ‘We propose to have a Democratic majority in Pennsylvania,’ I answered. He was greatly pleased at that prospect” "What did he say of the Democratic ticket in New York?” "I can only answer that Mr. Tilden showed himself heartily and earnestly interested in its success. Yes, he expressed himself as in warm sympathy with the Democratic party both in New York and Ohio, and he was especially delighted by the information that Pennsylvania may go Democratic.” "Is he pleased with the recent publication of his works?” "Yes, he seemed greatly gratified with the way in which Mr. Bigelow had accomplished his task, and he takes no little interest, also, in the forthcoming history of the Electoral . Commission, to be entitled ‘A Political Crime,’ by A. M. Gibson. But Mr. Tilden shows his active nature by the keen interest he displays in the beauty or Greystone. Nature has done much for the place in site and in the nature of the ground, through which great bowlders protrude here and there, forming a picturesque contrast to the cultivated sward. Nothing that the art of landscape gardening could do to decorate and enhance the natural effects has been omitted, but nowhere has violence been done or artificiality made obtrusive. Mr. Tilden, by the way. is just erecting what will probably be the finest range of green houses in the country. They are expected to excel even Jay Gould’s conservatories at Irvington. Mr. Tilden has planned himself all the details of these greenhouses, and expect? to enjoy from them grapes and peaches every month in the year. "Then it is a pleasure to see Mr. Tilden’s farm,” continued Mr. Hensel, with the enthusiasm of a Lancastrian. "His chicken houses contain many varieties, but his farmer thinks they have bred together too much and says that he intends to change them all. His garden is very rich, and Mr. Tilden shares the regret of his gardener that he didn’t send an eggplant, weighing eleven and three-quarters pounds, down to a seedraen’s prize competition in New York. His gardener has been on the place for twenty years. Turkeys don’t seem to have done well at Greystone this year. He has a herd of beautiful Jersey cattle, with two or three fine bulls. Everywhere Mr. Tilden shows his love of animals and his humane nature by the considerate care he has directed. The houses for his stock are all of the latest design and he introduces in them every new improvement that strikes hig judgment favorably. In his stables, besides the horses in use, he keeps

two old pensioners, Topic and Blackstone. The latter was once his favorite saddle horse." "Did not one of Man ton Marble’s dispatches read‘Saddle Blackstone?’ Was there any coo- * nection with the saddle-horse?” "That dispatch excited a good deal of conjecture at the time.” answered 1 Ir. Hensel, "and I believe that it has never been satisfactorily explained. Perhaps it meant that Mr. Tilden should relieve his mind of all and go for a gallop, or perhaps it meant it was time for him to mount a figurative saddle and take the aggressive, but I’ve told you enough. Good bye,” and Mr. Hensel rushed away to catch a train for Pittsburg. How to Tell a Horse’s Age. A closely-observing horseman gives different rules for determining the age of horses, extending to thirteen years. These are as follows: At one year the colt has a full set of tempo- * rary front teeth, which are short, round and very white. At the age of two the colt sheds two center front teeth above and below, and the horse teeth make their appearance. At three, * A ou * others are lost, one on each side of the first. #° Urt h 0 corner teeth dropout. At the age of five the new horse teeth at the corners are np even with the others, the mouth is full and the tusks appear. At six the cavities or cups in the center will be nearly worn awav and the tusks are up full, white and sharp’ At seven the cups disappear from the front middle teeth, beine brown curved lines. At eight the . cups are all out save the corner ones. At nine the teeth are all full, shut even and present l fair appearance. At ten the teeth turn yellow or brown, the tusks are either blunt or very long, the gums shrink away, giving the teeth a very large appearance. At eleven the teeth are black and full, and the gums form points between them. At twelve the upper teeth begin to overhang the lower ones. At thirteen the front teeth thicken and assume a triangular shape. When older than this but very little dependence can be put upon the appearance of the . mouth. From this period on the teeth grow # more foul aud long, and are worn flat from side to side, the gums appearing to dry up aud recede. A horse has forty teeth—twenty-four grinders, four tusks and twelve incisors, or nippers. The colt is born with eight double teeth; at about two months four more appear, one upon each jaw. At one year four more come, and at the age of two years four others, and at three years four more, making the mouth full—twenty-four grinders. A Queen Who Wanted the King to Dye His Hair. London Figaro. At a very early age King Humbert began to grow gray, and although he has seen but two and forty winters, they have left so much of * their snow upon his head that his wife, Queen Marguerite, is growing unhappy about it Her Majesty has a woman’s aversion to white hairs, and recently, "after much persuasion,” induced the King to allow her to order a case of hair dyes from Paris. The hair restorers arrived, and the next morning her Majesty, on descending to her gardens, as usual before her dejeuner, was surprised to find that one of her pet dogs, a favorite white spaniel, had become of a bright apple green. In the course of lmr inquiries she met her husband, who at once offered an explanation. "You see, my dear,” he said, "that before trying those ‘hair washes which are not dyes,’ that you have so kindly procured for mo, I was anxious to try their effect, and I accordingly rubbed one hand- < ful into your little dog. You see the result! Tomorrow I propose to try another kind of preparation on your pet parroquet.” The Queen tool? the hint, and the dyes, and left King Humbert to grow gray in peace. The “Woolly” Taste to Mutton. Correspondence Country Gentleman. The idea that the wool gives taste to the flesh, either by its growth before butchering, or by its • touch in the butchering or after, is a very old one, but it is erroneous. The flesh of the sheep partakes of the flavor of its food more than does that of the steer or hog; and the milk still more, perhaps. But all the apparatus of glands and cells, and tissues for the manufacture of of wool is situated in the skip, and ullits deposits are made there, without affecting the flesh. The disagreeable sheepy flavor is imparted to . meat by age, by bad feeding (or no feeding at all) and by the delay in the removal of the viscera. Let a sheep be properly managed from birth to butchering, and the entrails be taken out with neatness and dispatch, and the carcass may be wrapped in the yolkiest, wrinkliest skin without detriment, barring the uncleanliness. From the enormous preponderance of the breed the much decried "Merino taste” is the scapegoat for all the bad feeding and worse butchering of the country. A Bheep may yield the best flesh of all the domesticated ammais or towis—or the worst Art by the Lakeside. Chicago Special. John L. Sullivan posed to-night at the Columbia Theater in attitudes copied from famous statues as the tail end of a minstrel show. There was a good house, and no end of guying. "Ajax defying the lightning,” announced Sullivan’s manager. “Wha-atr piped a small voice in the top gallery. ’ * "Kape quiet, ye blackguard,” answered a voice in another part of the gallery. "Ajax refusin’ a drink. Can’t ye see at all.” Ajax grinned until the powder on his cheeks broke into seams like a lava bed. In his Apollo he looked like a Durham bull masquerading as an antelope. His fighting gladiator was better, although he seemed to have mistaken his shield for a liver pad. In the last tableau Sullivan ap- . peared as a pugilist, and roused great excitement. There were whistlings and cries of "Wance more, darlin’,” and "Come again” when he retired. He reappeared wrapped in a sheet, and bowed in a confused kind of way. Oh. the dogs— Yellow dogs! Hear their howl reverberating through the cool autumnal fogs! Till the would-be quiet sleeper From the country just returned, ’Squito bitten and sunburned, Mutters curses deep and deeper, While he longs again to listen, Where the nightly fire-flies glisten, To the much abused, sweet-throated, bass and shrill bucolic frogs. —Washington Hatchet. * Jlk was a summer rover, And to France did he go over, And he dwelt there Till he felt there That a Frenchman born was he; And now he calls Paris, Paree, And his sister Mary, Marie, Mere, his mother, Frere, his brother, And lm lady-love, cherle. —Boston Gazette. It is usually the case that the cow which gives a moderate quantity of milk throughout the season, and nearly up to the time of coining in* again, is more profitable than those which give a large vield immediately after calving, but are nearly dry at the end of six months from that event, and quite so at the end of eight or nine months. The staying quality is as valuable in ows as in horses. J|l|L Most perfect made Prepared by a physician with special xeganl * to health. No Ammonia, Lime or Alum. PRICE BAKI&Q POWDER CO., CHICAGO.
