lard or compound lard from tho country, lie was not here to defend counterfeiting, but bo was hero to defend the men who manufactured a clcau, healthy food product. The more hogs' lard that was taken out of it and the more cotton-seed oil put iu it, the purer and cleaner it was for tho human stomach. The working people wero not asking for this bill. They were opposed to taxing a clean, healthy food product. Gentlemen spoke about the poverty of the farmers and proposed to tax tho poor laboring man of his district in order to help the farmers. Did gentlemen ever know of a farmer going hungry! Did they ever know of a farmer to stand out in the storm with his -wif and children in the presence of the landlord and sheritlf The laboring man, who worked fourteen hours a day out in the sunshine, must be taxed for a clean food product to help the farmers of the country, when no farmers' organization had demanded it. It was proposed to tax a clean food product and force the people to pay higher prices for tho filthy, stinking stntf made in Hats in Chicago, St. Louis and Boston. It wan aaid that Chicago was lighting this bill. The manufacturers of . lard iu Chicago, who used smothered hogs, were net opposing this measure, which was one of the moat buugiing pieces of legislation which had ever come out of a committee room, lie defended Mr. Fairbank against some strictures made upon him, and then proceeded to argue in support of the Faddock pure food bill. Mr. Mcl'ae of Kansas offered an amendment to the first section of the bill by adding the following words: "And rendered in open kettles, the process used by farmers nd butchers," tno definition of "lard." Lost yeas, GT; nays, 10i Mr. Allen of Michigan supported the bill. The agitation of this question had been provoked by the careful, thoughtful action of the farmers in their various assemblies and organizations; whether they were right or wrong, they called for it. It was not true, as stated bv the gentleman from Illinois, that this bill, in any way. shape or form, affected the men who produced cottonseed oiL The evidence of Fairbank & Co., and of experts all over tho country, was to the effect that cotton-seed oil was superior to hog lard. If that wero so, it was absurd that a tax of 2 mills on a pound would prevent the people who desired to use compound lard i from purchasing that article. If it was true, as stated by Mr. Fairbank, that compound lard could be made of 20 per cent of lard and SO per cent, of cotton-seed oil, why not brand it as "cotton-seed oil compound!" Why attach the word "lard" to it! It was done for the purpose of selling the commodity as "lard," and by so doing defrauding the farmers of the market which they would otherwise possess. Mr. Henderson of Iowa said that his friend from Illinois Mr. Masonl had tearfully pleaded for the laboring men of the country, and had put them in antithesis to the farmers. Did the gentleman refer to Messrs. Fairbank and Armour, who had in a few years amassed millions at the expense of the farmers? Let the gentleman reserve his tears and appeals, for they wero ill-placed in defending men who had been charging laborers many per cent, more than the compound lard was worth. He asserted that the farmers of the country had petitioned in favor of this bill. It was well enough to sneer at the farmer. The farmers were readers and thinkers, and they were organizing, and he was glad of it. Mr. llouk of Tennessee said he would vote for the bill in the interest of the farmer. Mr. Formau of Illinois favored the plating of a tax of 2 mills a pound on compound lard in order to insure a compliance with the other provisions of the bill. Messrs. Stewart of Texas and Oates and Wheeler of Alabama opposed the measure, and the House took a recess, the evening session to be for debate on the lard bill. The discussion on the pure-lard bill was continued at the evening session. The speakers were Messrs. Sweeny of Iowa, Dunnell of Minnesota, Hill of Illinois, Catchings of Mississippi, Bliss of Michigan, Lacey of Iowa. Xeidringhaus, of Missouri, and Turner of New York. The House then, at 10 o'clock r. M., adjourned. RELIEF FOU TIIE MONEY MARKET.

Treasury Department Call for Twenty Million of Four-and-a-Half Per Cent. Bonds. Washington, Ang. 21. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day purchased $307,G"0 fours, at $1.24, and $271,200 four-and-a-half s, at 1.04 2. The following circular was issued this evening by the Treasury Department: lnpursuan.ee of the authority contained in Sections 30! u and 3Gjy of tho Revised Statutes of the United States, public notice la hereby given that at any time before Sept. 1, 181)0, the Secretary of tho Treasury will receive at the Treasury Department, in , the city of Washington, or at the ottice of any assistant treasurer of the United Btates, and will redeem at par 41a 5er cent, bonds of the acts of July 14, 1870, and an. 20, 1871, to an amount not exceeding twenty millions of dollars, and on or Immediately alter Sept. 1, 1890. will repay to the owners of the bonds so received all the Interest on said bonds to and including Aug. 31, 1891, without rebate of Interest. The circular of Aug. 19, 1800. is hereby rescinded. . . It is explained at the Treasury Department that the slight delay in making the prepayment of interest on the $20,000,000 of bonds is made necessary by the fact that the law does not permit the anticipation on more than one year's interest. High. Rates of Interest Asked. " New York, Ang. 21. Not since 16S4 has money been loaned to brokers at such rates as to-day. The early loans were made at 25 per cent., but the supply at this figure was soon exhausted and the rates moved to 40, 50, GO, 70, 80, 00, and before 1 o'clock the prevailing rate was 90 per cent., or equal to legal interest and a premium of i per cent per day. After 1 r. M. the rate advanced to Lj per cent, a day and legal interest, or equal to 100 per cent, per annum, the crowd of brokers trying to borrow and money continued to increase. The dealers in mercantile paper say that there isabsolutely no business being done, and that there is no supply of money, even from out-of-town banks. Later in the day, however, the rate dropped to a more reasonable figure. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild was asked what steps Secretary Wmdom could take. He said: "He can order revenue receipts to be deposited in the national banks and so prevent accumulation; or he can deposit part of the surplus now in the treasury in the banks." ELECTION BILL 1VILI. GO OVER, Republican Senators Decide to Take It Up at the Beginning of Next Session. Washington, Ang. 21. Great surprise was occasioned by the failure of the Senate this morning to take up tho Quay resolution fixing an order of business. It was not only a surprise to the public who filled the galleries and to the newspaper men, many of whom were on hand to report the progress of the discussion, but to many of the Senators, who fully expected the debate of yesterday to be resumed. Senator Quay, when asked the reason - for the, postponement, said: "Some of our friends thought it best not to take it up to-day. 1 shall, however, call it up to-morrow." Further than this he declined to 6ay anything. Every Republican Senator now in the city was represented at a conference held this evening at the residence of Senator McMillan, of Vermont avenue, either in person ' or by proxy. Friends of the election bill presented tho claims of that measure for consideration and action at this session of Congress. Senator Moody advocated adoption of a previous question rule, which was received with applause. After the presentation of various views the duty of arranging an order of business to be substituted for tho Quay resolution and the other pending propositions was assigned to a committee, with Senator Hoar as chairman, and comprising in its membership Senators Allison, Spooner and Hale. This committee, it is understood, will preparo a resolution if possible by to-morrow morning to, it is said, be oh'ered in placo of the Quay resolution, the order to include a vote on the tariff bill and upon certain other measures named in the Quay resolution. Tho election bill will go over until the next session, and will be the first measure cousidered when Congress reassembles in December. LIOUOi: IN THE CAPITOL. Senator Plumb's Resolution to Present the Halo of Intoxlrnnts In the Senate Wine. Pr-flal to Uie IiicIlauaTM.iH JoornsL Washington, Aug. 21. Senator Plumb's resolution to prohibit the sale and drinking tSUwioiu in the Senate wing of tho Cauitol

Is intended to correct an evil which has grown to large proportions, and which is already nominally under the ban of the committee on rules, which is in charge of the subject. Speaker Heed's order against drinking in the Houso wing is practically a dead letter. Instead of the drinking being done at the counter, it is dcne'at tables, but the results are about the same. In tho Senate end, for fcoiue time at least, there has been no attempt at concealment of the sale of liquors, and anything from ginger ale to benedictine may be had on demand. It has really grown into a scandal, and the resolution of the Kansas Senator is a timely protest against the custom. Debate In the Senate. Washington', Aug. 21. The resolution heretofore otlered by Mr. Plumb to prevent the sale of spirituous, vinous and malt liquors m the Senate wing of the Capitol was laid before the Senate to-day, the pending questions being on Mr. lUair's amendment to add the words "and drinking,; and cn Mr. Butler's amendment directing a daily search for liquors of committee rooms and other apartments. Mr. Uibson suggested jokingly the extension of the amendment so as to direct the search of Senators' desks. Mr. Plumb objected to both amendments as calculated to belittle the resolution, which he had offered seriously and in deference to public opinion. After debate the matter went over until to-morrow. Congressional Action on Various Measure. Washington, Aug. 21. The conference

report on the bill for an increase of the clerical force of the Pension Oflice was agreed to by the Senate to-day. Mr. Buchanan called up in the House, to-day, the bill for the adjustment of the accounts of laborers arising uudcr the eight-hour law. and it was discussed until the expiration of the morning hour, when it went over without action. Mr. Blair introduced in the Senate, today, at tho request of the Farmers Alliance, a bill to provide for banks of deposit. Tho House amendment to the Senate bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at some point between tho mouth of tho Illinois and the mouth of the Missouri, was concurred in by the Senate to-day. Tho bill now goes to the President. The Cutlery Schedule In the Tariff Dill. Washington, Ang. 21. Debate on the tariff bill was resumed in the Senate today, the pending question being on Mr. Mcpherson's amendment to Paragraph 101, page CO. This paragraph refers to tableknives, forks, steels, butcher-knives, etc., and imposes compound duties on them according to value classifications. The amendment is to substitute for these duties a nniform rate of S5 per cent, ad valorem. After discussion it was rejected. Then Mr. McPherson moved to amend Paragraph 1C2, referring to files and rasps, by striking out the duties and classification by lengths and inserting 5 per cent, ad valorem, but. without voting on the amendment, the Senato went into executive session and soon adjourned. Purdue Will Get 815,000 a Year. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 21. By the adoption of the bill providing for an endowment of colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts to the extent of $15,000 a year each and an increase of 1,000 a year until the sum of $25,000 annually is reached, the school of agriculture, horticulture and veterinary science at Purdue University at Lafayette will come in for this benefit.

fOWDERLY CALLS OX KNIGHTS. Concluded from First Tage.t sentatives of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, who live in California, cannot reach heio in time they will have to delegate others to act in their stead. .No meeting of tho Supreme Council can be held unless there is full representation of the members. Each organization represented in the Supreme Council must act foritself. For instance, when the Supreme Council meets the three-representatives of the Switchmen's Association will vote in private on the question of ordering a strike. Theresuit of these several votes is then laid before the full council. Should there be one negative vote in any one organization the strike cannot be ordered. It will be seeu, therefore, that the membersof the Supreme Council must be a unit on the question or the strike cannot be ordered." Mr. Debs pointed out the fact that while perhaps a third of the railway employes were not members of the Federation, yet, as in tho "Q" strike, the employes of that road were almost a unit, whether belonging to the Federation or not. Mr. Sargent and Mr. Sweeney. New York, Aug. 21. Chief Sargent and Messrs. Howard, Wilkeson and Sweeney left the city this morning for Terra Haute. It was reported that before going away Mr. Sargent said a meeting 'of the Federation would be held there with the undoubted result that a strike on the Vanderbilt system would be ordered. As he and his three associates had indoreed the action of the general executive board of Knights of Labor he thoroughly believed that tho Supreme Council of the Federation would sustain it. He also said tho action of Mr. Webb last night in adhering to the stand he had taken rendered the action they had taken necessary. Mr. Webb's arbitrary methods and utter refusal to arbitrate the situation made it useless to deal with him any longer. Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switchmen's Aid Association, put a different complexion on the condition of atlairs. He said the Supreme Council may not indorse the action of tho chiefs of the four orders, and it is purely supposition to say that they will order a general strike. Mr. Sweeney added that since the strike began 234 carloads of beef have been destroyed on tho Central between here and Buffalo, and had to be burned. Continuing, Mr. Sweeney said: "Another thing there has been no Unanimous opinion formed by the executive council of tho Federation that the company was making an attack on our or

ganization, un toe contrary, we nave oeen divided on the subject. The reason for convening the Supreme Council was because the responsibility was too heavy for the four men of tho executive board to shoulder." Mr. Sweeney also said that Mr, Sargent had never stated that he would recommend a general tie-up to the Supreme Conucil. TIIE LAWS OP THIS FEDERATION. ' Not an Kasy Matter to Begin a Strike of the United Order of Railway Employes. Xew York Ban. The constitution of the Supreme Council of the United Order of Railway Employes, of which Grand Master F. P. Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, is president, doesn't admit of the brotherhoods going into a sympathetic strike to help out the Knights of Labor, as Mr. Powdcrly and his followers iutimate they will do. The constitution of the Supreme Council sets forth in detail Low the grievances of any subordinate order shall be taken up and disposed of. Section 17 says that no grievance shall be presented to the Supreme Council until the organization having such grievance shall have' decided to inaugurate a strike and the chief executive has given his sanction thereto. Section 14 prescribes that no strike of cither a local or general character shall be inaugurated by any organization until the Supreme Council shall have authorized it. According to Section 16, after the grievance has been presented in writing by the chief executive of the order interested, the Supremo Council shall be convened, represented by three grand otticers from, each brotherhood, including the chief,- making twelve in all. The three representatives of each organization shall be convened separately by their respective chief executives, and each of them shall prepare his ballot, with the word 'Approved' or 'Disapproved' written thereon. If two or more of the representatives vote in favor of approval, such shall be the vote of the organization they represent, and the chief executive shall cast said vote accordingly; and if two or more of said representatives shall vote in favor of disapproval, such shall be the vote of the organization, and it shall be cast accordingly by the chief executive. When all the organizations a're prepared to ballot, the council shall be reconvened, and tho secretary shall call the roll of organizations,each of which shall bo entitled to one vote, predicated upon a majority vote of its representatives, and the vote shall be announced by thechief executiveland entered upon the minutes by the secretary. The secretary shall then announce the result of the ballot, and if it shall be found that all the organizations have cast their vote in favor ot approval such shall be the decision of the Supreme Council; but if it be found that one or more of the organizations havo cast their vote in favor of disapproval, such shall be the decision of the body." Section 17 states that the Supreme Council may, by a two-thirds vote, modify or amend the constitution, or strike out any portion of tho same; so that It would seem to be an easy matter to sanction a -striko even if some opposed it." Section 13 says: "When a grievance has been approved by the Supremo Council, notice of such approval shall be served on the proper officials of the railway company or corporation against which the grievance originated, and a iinal request shall bo made in behalf of the Supreme Couucil for an amicable adjustment. Should all efforts vto effect a satisfactory adjustment fail, the Supreme Council shall officially direct tho members of all the organizations represented in the council to withdraw in a body from the service of the company, such withdrawal to take effect without any unnecessary delay, tfte same to be specified in the official notification." OTHER STRIKE NEWS. Newly-Employed Men Captured by the Old Employes at Buffalo and Sent Home. Buffalo, N. Y Aug. 21. The strikers here made a checkmate move on the Central this afternoon. They captured the forty-and-odd men who arrived in the city this morning and yesterday took them to the halls whero a large meeting was in prog-' ress. This was a pretty easy matter, as tho men, many of whom had been hired in Chicago and St. Louis, said they had been deceived. They claimed that they had no idea that they were-to take the places of men who had gone out. They uuderstood they were to work on a new division of the Central. The meeting this afternoon was for the purpose of making arrangements to send these men all back to their homes. Outside of that there was no change in the situation. Warned to Ouit the Order. New Yohk, Ang. 21. A dispatch, from Albany says information obtained there contradicts the assertion by Mr. Webb that he has not discharged any men because they were Knights of Labor, and that no assault is being made upon tho Knights. Fully fifty of them who are on strike thero testify that for the past month station agent Stephens, of the Grand Central Depot, has been informing them that they had better sever their connection with the order, and that very quickly, as the road intended to get rid of those who belonged to it. This order was also disseminated among the men by Mr. Huestis, the private secretary of Mr. Voorhees. He sent for the baggagemen and brakemen and informed them less than a week before the strike that it was the intention of the road to break up the brotherhood. The message was given to at least fifty men. Effects of the Strike. For.f Plain. N. Y.. Aug. 21. The strike on tho New York Central is having a serious effect upou business in the Mohawk valley, and in Johnstown and Oloversville. In the latter places manufacturers and merchants experience great delay in getting poods shiiittcd. Some of the glove factories

will noon havo to shutdown if the strike continues. One freight train on the Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville road has been discontinued, and the company refuses to accept freights. Meats, Hour and sugar have advanced in price, lu Amsterdam it is said that the local assemblies of the K. of L. are in. sympathy with the strikers, and raising money to aid them. Scarcely any local freight isbeinghandled along the line of the Central road. The West Shore people have been refusing freight, as they cannot furnish cars to carry it. Paid Only for the Trip Made. Spp.inofikld, Mass., Aug. 21. When the Boston .V Albany trainmen were paid off on Tuesday they found the sum received was only for actual trips made for the week, which were necessarily few, .owing to the strike on the New York Central. The company bad ordered the men to remain around headquarters readv for duty. A meeting of twenty-five conductors and switchmen was held yesterday, but was adjourned to decide as to how a demand for a full week's pay should be made. Miscellaneous Labor Notes. The dockmen's strike at Tilbury, England, has ended in a victory for the men. Advices from Mons, Belgium, state that eight thousand miners aro fomenting dissent among the other men, and it is expected that the strike movement will spread. TREATY OF PEACE SIGNED. Salvador and Guatemala Finally Conclude to Bury the Hatchet. Paris, Aug. 21. The Guatemalan legation has received a cable dispatch announcing that Guatemala has signed a treaty of peace with Salvador. The dispatch further says that Vice-president Ayala has assumed the executive power and is arranging for an election for President. The conditions of the agreement are: First, the retirement of Ezeta from the presidency; second, Ayala to take possession of the presidency and to order an election for president; third, the stato of aflairs existing before June 22 to be reestablished. A correspondent who participated on the Guatemalan side in tho battle of Coutepeque, has sent a description of tho fight, und6r date July 27, in which he says: "Tho Salvadorians telegraphed that the Guatemalans suffered a defeat and loss of 12,000 men. In reality the Guatemalan loss did not exceed 2,500 men all told, in three engagements at Coutepeque, Chingo and Cocoa. Tho Salvadorian loss was about 2,000 men. . Of 1C0 men wounded on the Guatemalan side 115 died, and about twenty of the remainder cannot live. Out of the 112 prisoners taken by the Guatemalan forces here nine days ago, eighty were Mexicans." ISrttons Menaced by an African Kins' London, Aug. 21. South African advices represent that Lobengula, the King of Matabeliaud, is very much irritated over the couri.e of the British company, which he has recently admitted to certain privileges in his dominions, and that his people are ripe for war. Lobengula is the most powerful monarch in south Africa, and is able to muster an army of about 0,000 welltrained lighting men. He keeps a body guard of 4,000 men. The warriors are more anxious for war than the King, who understands something of the extent of British power, and is slow to enter upon a conflict. Should Lobengula go to war

against the colonists it would be a more serious affair than the struggle with the Zulus. Doubt Cast on an American ieat. London, Aug. 21. Three "Oxonians" write to the Times concerning the alleged feat of Davis Dalton, the American swimmer, who claims to have swam across the English channel on his back. They assert that thev watched the life-boat which was to pilot Dalton, for four hours from Boulogne, and never saw Dalton in the water. Moreover, they declare that the dingey which was to supposed to attend the swimmer was towed unoccupied behind the lifeboat. Three American Missionaries Dead. Bkiixe, Aug. 21.

Leone from African fever. To Stop Hypnotic Experiments. London Special. A bill will be introduced into Parliament next session which proposes to restrict the public performance of hypnotic experiments, which are now so greatly in vogue. There is no cause to doubt the medical testimony which asserts that much injury is done to their health by the repeated attempts which are made by amateur dabblers in the science. The Revolt in Armenia. London, Aug. 21. A dispatch from Erzoroum to the Daily News says the government is supplying the Kurds with Martini rilles. The Christians have cut tho telegraph wires.

THE PRESIDENTS WORK. Ilis Personal Record in Connection with Important Legislation Before Congress. Gen. II. V. Boynton. In Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The occasion should be full of congratulations to President Harrison. This birthday Aug. 20 marks a year of his real work as President. The months before that were consumed in matters of patronage, in the establishment of an administration. There is reason now for abundant congratulation. It has turned out that the executive department was organized in strength. Each Cabinet officer has filled the full measure of his position. The State Department has commanded respect at home and abroad. Tho Treasury management has inspired the utmost confidence, and the conditions of the finances is most satisfactory. The War Department has not been in more efficient hands since Mr. Stanton left it. Under Secretary Tracy the new navy is growing with a rapidity that makes patriotism happy. The Postoftico was never in so good condition, and the success of the Postmaster-general in dealing with the gigautic evil of lotteries bids fair to become complete. The great business of the Interior Department never went on more smoothly and efficiently than now. Tho Attorney-general's oflice has the respect of tbe courts and the bar throughout the laud. And, last of all, the Agricultural Department, under General Rusk, is developing an importance which- it has not reached before. The President has a personal record in connection with every leading measure which has received the attention of Congress, lie has been earnest for the early revision of the tariff. He has strongly indorsed protection, but insisted upon sharp reductions and general revision. Above all, he has urged prompt action. His argument was that the business interests should not be left in uncertainty a day longer than was necessary to consider each class of new rates and adopt them. He believed that a tariff bill could have been reported by the 1st of March. In the matter of the silver law he has not by any means received his due. The measure finally adopted comes much nearer to being his measure than that Of any one else. Ho took hold of the question with energy when the Democrats, by the help of a few Republicans, had so badly tangled the question in the Senate as to make a threatening situation for the Republican party. At this point ho became the Republican leader, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say tho leader of tbe Republican leaders of the House in this matter. There seems a great party triumph. The silver legislation will probably figure in the next campaign as the measure commanding the most popular support of any that will be under consideration. It will be a distinctively Republican silver policy, since it was opposed by a solid Democratic vote. And, a 8 stated, more credit will be. due the President than to any other Republican. The radical lottery legislation which has just overthrown and crushed all opposition in tho House has had the earnest personal support of tho President from the first. Ho was not only in full accord with the Post-' master-general in this matter, but he was his active supporter. r t Tho President did much toward shaping the liberal peneiou legislation of the . session. For this he deserves the thanks aud earnest support of the veterans. 'Their interests have been constantly, in his thoughts, and he; has been active in advocating fair treatment of the soldiers according to their great deserts. In the pending controversy over tho proposed national election law tho influence of the President has been persistently used to urge whatever legislation seemed necessary to strengthen tho chances for securing fair elections and honest counting. On this question his advice has been courageous and manly, and in full accord with the promises of the Republican convention. He has not urged a force bill, nor anything that could be construed as oppressive or as calculated for operation in one section alone, but he has taken tho broad ground that it was the duty of Congress to see that national elections were at least fairly conducted. . . Such are some of the main points of congratulations with those who know the inside history, and so the real history of Republican management under the present administration. These are his birthday, honors. MRS. DACON'S liUKEAU IIUSIIAND. lie Was Furnished by an Agency and Proved a Very Inferior Article. Republic (Mo.) Special to ft. Louis Globe-Democrat. At request of Mrs. Frances Bacon, of Davis-Bacon matrimonial bureau marriage notoriety, a Globe-Democrat representative called upou the lady and elicited the following statements relative to her troubles and W. O. Bacon's statements, published in the Globe-Democrat of Saturday last. I met Mr. Bacon, as claimed by him, except that it was in Kansas City instead of St. Louis. I first met hi in on April 19, 1800, last. He claimed to have some property and money, but had nothing to show for it His recital of thoO'Day mortgage matter is correct. I made no promises relative to business matters whatever prior to our marriage, nor did my father. O'Day was not concerned in our domestic troubles. It was Mr. Bacon's own perfidy. Ho had no confidence in me, and deceived me regarding his former marriage. He knew I had money before we were married. I furnished the money that procured our marriage license, and paid the minister to perform the ceremony. It is, indeed, a queer piece of business and I am equally as glad to get loose from it as is Mr. Bacon. The reason that I told my friends in Republic that Mr. Ed. C. O'Day made me acquainted with V. O. Bacon in St. Louis was because Mr. Bacon wanted me to. He knew of my being in St. Louis and of my acquaintance with the Messrs. O'Day by my telling him that I had visited Mr. John O'Day's family at Hurst's Hotel in St. Louis last November. I do not know what object he had in having me say that we first met in St. Louis, aud that we wero made acquainted by Mr. O'Day. Mr. O'Day knew nothing of our intended marriage except what I told him. "A week before 1 went to Kansas City, at which time he accompanied me home from Springfield and remained over night. Mr. O'Day has been a friend to father aud I, but did not act-right about our indebtedness to him. He intended to sell our farm, but I borrowed the money to stop a sale, aud he claimed he did not have tho note and did not want the money after lie had advertised our farm for sale. Messrs. Goode and Cravens held the money three or four days and then brought suit against Mr. O'Day before he would produce the note. "Our honeymoon in Kansas City and at St. Louis was highly satisfactory to me, as I loved Mr. Bacon dearly and willingly telegraphed father for money to defray our expenses, and we pawned my trunk and contents in St. Louis to pay my fare home; so you may say that I did not marry Air. Bacon for money. He denied his former marriage until about three weeks before I had him arrested, and then said he had been married, but divorced in July, lbttt, at Cheyenne, Col. I found a copy of the petition tiled for a divorce by his former wife after ho had gone. It was tiled with the Arapahoe county (Col.) court, Julyll, tssy, and alleged that he would not support her, and that ho was a gambler. "In regard to our property troubles. I have evidence satisfactory to father and 1 that he intended to get the title of all our reai estate in his name, and believe his failure to do so brought about the personal indignities mentioned in mv petition for a divorce, as well as what he chooses to term fits.' He opposed my even mentioning Mr. O'Day from the first, and watched me at Kansas City for fear I would meet him. I had him arrested becanso he abused father and we, aud bccau he would fiot attempt

It seems strange that in this city a man should dio of starvation, but such is tho fact in refereuce to Professor Sanborn, tho elocutionist, who died at St. Stephen's Hospital on tho 19th inst. Professor Sanborn came to this city somo eighteen months ago, and began teaching elocution. He was of a quiet turn of mind, and his habits were good. He obtained a few pupils, but not enough to earn him anything like a living. He rented a room, and by the most rigid economy and by doing without food was able to save enough to pay the rent. Tailiug to get pupils, he has been starving himself for mouths. Not long since, when giving a lesson, ho fell in a faint from exhaustion, ou account of being bo weak for want of food. From this his friends suspected his condition and they brought him plenty to eat, but had done without food so long that his stomach would not digest tho food. Ho was thoroughly honest, aud had within him that pride which made him feel that he would rather go hungry, and. if needs be, starve, than tell his friends he was too poor to buy a meal's victuals. Xs Honest Lottery. Philadelphia North American. The fairest lottery scheme in the world is a swindle, tho promoters of such schemes are, whether consciously or unconsciously, swindlers, and every man who draws a prize is an involuntary swindler of the men who draw blanks. Tho persons who buy lottery tickets constitute the grand army of tho voluntary swindled. A fool may as well bet on roulette as buy chances in a lottery. Faro, baccarat and cut-thro.it uoker aro quite as reputable modes of losing and wiuning something from nothing as the lottery. In fact, any gambling game fairly played under its rules is much fairer than the lottery, for in most gambling games tho chances aro even. In a lottery tho chances of winning is never more than one in several thousands. Fervid Words for Hot Weather. Boston Globe.
