The Getzum publishes an election manifesto, an article said to have been written or inspired by the Finance Minister.

, CLEVELAND AS SHERIFF.

The Ex-President Talks About His Put Duties and Scores a Female Orator. 8 pedal to the Indianapolis JournaL New York, Jan. 26. The annual 'police captains' dinner took place at Delmonico's to-night. Many prominent guests were present. Ex-President Cleveland responded to the toast "Our Country." In the course of his remarks he said: "This exceedingly enjoyable entertain ment is given under the auspices of our city's police authorities and ouicers, and it may well be regarded as a meeting of past and present conservators of the peace and their friends. I beg, therefore, to suggest that nearly twenty years ago 1 served a term as sheriff of a county ranking third in point of popula tion among the connties of the Mate, ana that at a later day I was. for fifteen.'months. Mayor and a police commissioner of a city bearing the same relation to the cities of the State. It may seem strange to those who know me as a mild man to learn that in the latter capacity my chief duty was to administer rebuke and censure to such members of our police force as were convicted of violations of rules of the department. Of course I claim the benetit of tho presumption that this distasteful and uncongenial duty was well and thoroughly performed. "Not many years ago, during a national political campaign, a female orator was employed to go about the country imploring tho electors of the land to withhold their suffrages from the 'Buffalo hangman.' You most agree with me that this was quite dreadful. It makes me shudder to think that perhaps this female's efforts may have had much to do with a disastrous result. But, after all, there is a grain of comfort in the reflection that this thing was done in the heat of a political contest and by one avowedly in the employe of political adversaries. There was. also, I believe, some uncomplimentary reference to , the office of sheriff or deputy sheriff in the newspapers. This, of course, is sad enough. - But even such words may be healed, and then, too, we mutitiremember that much must be conceded to that inestimable boon, the freedom of the press, of which our country boasts. But though my office as sheriff expired so long ago that I might plead the statute of limitations, I desire to stand with ex-Sheriff Grant. ex-Sheriff Sickles, ex-Sheriff Gorman in defense of one of the oldest offices known to civilization, and one which, if faithfully administered, cannot fail to reflect credit and honor upon its incumbent." COLLISION ON THE UNION PACIFIC. Train Bearing the Seventh Cavalry Wrecked Four Men Killed and Others Hurt. Tcpeka, Kan., Jan. 2G.-rBrief news was received here to-night of the wreok of the Union Pacific train on which the Seventh Cavalry were passengers on their way from tho Northwest Indian country to the post at Fort Riley, Kan. At Irving, Kan., the train collided with a passenger train. Both engineers and the firemen are reported killed and several passengers injured. It is not known whether any of the soldiers are among the injured. A train was made up for them and they were sent on their way to Fort Riley. Threatened Strike at the Chicago Stockyards. Chicago, Jan. 26. According to the best authority there is serious trouble brewing at the Union stockyards and a' strike is imminent. First of all the wool-cleaners at Swift's are dissatisfied because they have been asked to work one more hour on Sunday without an advance in wages. The wool-cleaners work ten hours on week days and nine hours on Sundays. They have oeen asked to work ten hours on Sunday. This they refuse to do. Entirely separate and distinct from this trouble is that of the expert sheep butchers, who positively demand better pay. They are now receiving 80 a week. There are two hundred sheep butchers employed by Swift, Morris and Armour and they demand an increase in wages. They are afraid if they strike that the expert cattle butchers will be pnt in their places. They have therefore called a meeting, at which they will ask the cattle butchers to sustain them. This will involve the entire working force at the yards, for the cattle batchers will be followed by other branches of work. This afternoon forty butchers at Armour's and twenty employed by Morris qnit work. Their places were quickly filled. The indications to-night wore that no general strike would take place. Marine News. Brainerd, Minn., Jan. 26. Early this morning one of the Northern Pacilio carshops here, used as a paint-shop, was bnrned, with the contents, including eight or ten coaches. The loss is estimated at from $40,000 to $50,000. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. Beginnings of the Standard OH Company The Clerk Who Didn't Know Him. Atlanta Constitution. John D. Rockefeller, who ranks with the wealthiest men of the world, was born in Cleveland, O. His father was a physician who had been born in Connecticut. John D. Rockefeller's first position after leaving school was as clerk in a commission house, at a salary of $2 a week. By plncfc and bard work, combined with business shrewdness, he wasenabled, when only twenty-two years old, to open a modest commission business of his own. Oil was the principal article in which he dealt. A few years later, when the oil excitement in Pennsylvania was at its height, young Rockefeller visited the oil helds and seeing, at a glance, their future value, invested all he con Id raise in them. He then started a refinery in Cleveland and organized a company which has since grown into what is now the Standard. Oil Company, t rom this beginning he has achieved his power and wealth. He has for years been an earnest member of the Baptist Church, and in a auiet wav has ben a generous end useful supporter of the Euclid-avenue church in Cleveland. Even now he is the superintendent of the Sunday-school in Cleveland, though his residence is in New York. He is a friend to educatiou. and has always been a bounti. tnl giver to its cause. The climax was reached to his goodness recently, when he placed $1,000,000 in the Baptist University at Chicago. A good story is told of the president of tne standard un uompany, which shows the temperament of the man and the ab sence of a revengeful spirit. A gentleman who is now on the New York Sun staff, and who writes charming character stories over his signature, was a few years ago connected with the Standard Oil Company as one of the department chief clerks in the New York office. The official whom he was under was a personal and a very near friend of the president of the company. The large apartment in which the desk of this future newspaper writer was located had in one corner a health-lift machine. Every day at a regular hour a quiet, modestly-dressed gentleman would come in. noiselessly exercise four or five minutes en the "iif t," and as quietly walk out. Day after day this same quiet man with the brown eyes came and went, without the least display or undue demonstration. He never spoke or even noticed the other occupants of the room. Finally this became distressingly monotonous to the clerk, and one day bis patience became exhausted, and as the health-lifter was leaving the room the clerk exclaimed: "I wish you'd take thatd d machine oat of here; it annoys me." A look of surprise, then a nod of assent was the only reply. Shortly two colored men came and carried the to the clerk instrument of torture away. A few days later a meeting of the board was held, at which this self-same clerk was to act as secretary. Imagino his feelings on entering the board-room to see in John D. Rockefeller, the gentleman of the "health lift" episode. The young man fairly quaked for fear of dismissal. But it never came. Strange as it may seem, although having been employed for months by the Standard company, he had never seen Mr. Rockefeller before to know him until under the (to him) rather painful circumstances described. In appearance, John D. Rockefeller bears a striking facial resemblance to the Rockefellers in general. All of the name or descent might be called strong faces, marked especially by a prominent, heavy nose. He is a quiet, retiriug man, wholly unassuming in his dreens and manner. He always speaks iu low, well modulated tones. His eyes are dark and quiet in repose, but flashing with

enorgy and animation when excited or interested. His home life is noted for its simplicity, and he is most devoted to his

family. For twenty odd years John L. Rockefeller has been the target for all sorts of stories tending to make him appear as a cold blooded conscienceless wrecker of charac ter and private fortune. Those who know him best know them to be without founda tion. A capitalist with vast business interests for which he was responsible to thousands he has frequently been forced iu the protection of these interests to steps that conflicted with the schemes of other men more designing than the head of the Standard Oil Company. And yet, whether or not John D. Rockefeller has been wholly free from all business complications of question able Character is a matter which he alone can answer. ssMHMaVSaasMMMMssM HRITON'S WONT BE WAR3L Rugs and Hot-Water Cans Are Good Enough for Them on Railway Journeys. New York Sua. The comment aroused by the case of an unfortunate English lady who froze to death in a first-class railroad compartment on an English railway, last week, will not result, according to railroad experts, in the general introduction of American cars in Great Britain. The prejudice of the British public against the American style of car is so emphatic that two of the resident agents of our car companies have recently returned permanently from London. The railroad experts acknowledge the superiority of the American car lullv. and it has been adopted everywhere by the continental railroads. But in Lnglaud the publio is obdurate. For two years a Pullman car has been attached to the regular train between Edinburgh and London. This is an eight-hour trip, and it is calculated to bring out the advantages of the American railroad car in tho fullest manner. Yet English travelers invariably take the cramped compartments of the English car riages in the tram rather than the com fortable American cars. Thev sit up all night, wrapped in rugs and shawls, and keep partially warm by cans of hot water which are unshed into the cars everr two hours during the night. They might for tne same price have a comfortable berth in a car that rolls on luxurious springs, is beautifully upholstered. admirably warmed. lighted by electricity and in the hands of a skilled attendant who can serve breakfast or supper on board. Mr. Purnell spoke recently of the "intolerable severity" of the journey between Dublin and London. He was obliged to take a regular express train which did not make any stops between Chester and London, and as the weather has been particularly severo over there this winter he complained that during the live-hour trip he shook, like a leaf, despite his numerous blankets and rngs. A well-lighted and thoroughly comfortable American car was attached to the regular mail trains of this route for a year, but subsequently withdrawn. Nowadays the American cars are attached to the Liverpool trains, but that is only because Americans doing to and from Atlantic steamers absolutely insist up them. It was prophesied that after the Colonel Baker scandal the English people would accept more modern ideas in cars, and the subsequent agitation over the question resulted in a general ventilation of the whole subject. But solitary women are still locked in close iron-bound compartments with strange men at all hours of the night on the English railways, and instances of an insulting and tragic nature are frequent. A very prominent Birmingham steel manufacturer, who came over here not long since to attend the iron and steel men's conference, had a long discussion with Mayor Hewitt on the subject at a banquet at Delmonico's. The English manufacturer said that the position of the British publio on this particular question wonld have to be ranked with the position which they had taken on the dceased wife's sister bill and other measures which the accumulated wisdom of ages had been unable to alter. The English are well in front in the general world of railroad improvements and have accomplished wonderful things in railroad and bridge building. But in the question of cars they are absolutely in tho hands of the public, and the publio will not alter its views. There can be nothing more preposterous than, the idea of a woman freezing to death in one of the compart ments of a car on one of the foremost railroads of Great Britain. The guard had neglected to put a hot water pan in her car; hence the trade gy. There are numerous and successful method v of heating cars, but none of them secures adoption m her Majes ty's kingdom. At certain stations along tne route they have a big tank ox. not water. Before a train is due this water is poured into cans and the cans are piled on small four-wheeled trucks. vV hen the train comes to a . stand-still a guard rushes along and throws open every door from tne beginning to the end of tho train. This lets in a blast of icy air and. incident ally, any rain or snow that may be flying about. The passengers wrap their rugs and shawls more tightly about them and sit there and shiver. Then one guard pushes the truck along beside the train, while another man pulls out the cold water tins and puts the freshly filled ones in their places. The tins are slammed down in the middle of the floor and the door is closed. Then the shivering passengers move up and place their feet on the tins of hot water and extract what comfort they can before the water turns cold again. . . Two Indiana Boys. South Bend Tribune. Two old Valparaiso boys were candidates for United States Senator this week, and failed to "get there" Major Calkins, of Washington, and Uoi. uu JPierce, of Ptorth Dakota. Maior ualkins was a young law. verin Valparaiso when he entered politics. His first job in political matters was to ?4down Gurney." Ilev. Aaron Gurney was a Methodist minister at Valparaiso who ran a newspaper and dabbled in politics to the detriment of his religion. He wanted to be the Republican candidate for Congress from this district which then included Porter county. The convention was at .Wanatah. The. Porter county delegation had como down solid for Gnrney. Calkins got the delegation together in the garden of a desertea house, lie mounted an asnbarrel and made the best speecn of his life. When he sot tbronsh there was not a Gurney man in the delegation. Gen. Pacard went to Congress and remained there until sueoeeded by Major ualkins. At that time Col. Gil Pierce was editor of a Valparasio paper, but it was not a success and he secured a general clerkship in Washing ton. He made money besides writing stories and sketches and corresponding for newspapers, among them the Tribune. He tried for a congressional membership once but the Gurney crowd knocked him out. He then went on the inter Ocean and was soon made editor iu chief. He was a great friend of President Arthur, and the latter appointed mm uovernor of Dakota. When the Territory became tsvo States he was elected tine of the Senators for North Dakota and went back to ashington city. he bad left as a government clerk, a United States Senator.

IT FLAPS ITS WINGS AND IXIES.

Mr. Thomas Henry Cruiup Rsi a Machla Which Mores Like a Wild Goose. Chicago News. Thomas Henrr Crnmn is at the front with a new flying machine, a monster bird shaped air ship. Mr. Cromp ia a colored man living at 21)51 Dearborn street, and he has beentusseling withthe problem of aerial navigation for about ten years. At last ho has completed plans which are satisfactory to himself and be offers them as the proper solution of tho vexed problem. Mr. Crump s air ship will not be a balloon. but a winged contrivance operated by mechanical means. The inventor is what scientists call an aviator instead of an. aeronaut, because he proposes to sail through the atmosphere on a machine that has Happing wings and a broad flattened tail. - The proposed air ship, of which a model has been built, consists of a light framework sustaining two immense wings, twenty-five feet wide and sixty feet from tip to tip. These wings are of woven steel wire and are covered with oil silk. Suspended from the backbone of the mechanical bird is a boat-shaped car which contains the electric motor tor furnishing power and the steerin? apparatus. The steering and propelling are accomplished by tubular wheels at the rear. There are rows of valves in the broad wings to allow the proper passage of air when the wings flap. The weight of the air ship will be about 250 pounds and it is to carry two persons. It has not yet been constructed, therefore the date of the first trip cannot be announced. Farm Notes. The New York State Dairy Association is trvinz to induce farmers to keep dairy records, but finds it up-hill work. Out of three hundred blank forms of records sent out about a year ago one man returned it duly filled out. A silo may be of boards, stone or cement. and should be at least twelve feet deep. It is estimated that a silo twelve feet square is large enough for twenty-five cows. This may vary, however, according to the kind of cows and how the ensilage is fed. At the experiment station of Kentucky at Lexington potash ;has produced a very marked increase of crop when used on corn. hemp, tobacco and potatoes; but here again it fails to increase theyield of wheat, whether used alone or in combination. Sir Philip Miller, the great English horti culturist, wntiug in 1740, says: "The best method to have cabbages good is to prooure fresh seed from abroad every year, for it is apt to degenerate in England in a few years." The above is a simple illustration of the fact that the best seeds will rapidly degenerate under unfavorable conditions. Mutton sheen make a greater gain of flesh than steers, according to experiments made. At the Wisconsin station the food required to produce one hundred poonds of wether lamb was 3a pounds corn, zuo pounds corn silage, 153 pounds corn-fodder and twenty two pounds potatoes. To produce one hundred pounds on the steer required S94 pounds corn, 1S1 pounds bran and 651 pounds silage. Ihe results showed that silage was also an excellent food for the sheep as well as for the steer. For the best one sign of a good cow we regard that of being so built that when in milk a portion of her udder can be seen be hind her legs, as a side view is taken. The more there is to be seen the better: ana if. at the same time, the udder comes forward so as to cover a goodly portion of the belly, she then can be. and quite likely will be. a copions milker. But before a very big price is paid for her the quality of her milk should be tested, and if the buyer is par ticular sho should be of the breed he is most interested in. Hoard's Dairyman. Even the bees make the quality of their honey according to the kind of food or flowers from which it is procured, immi nent authorities on bee culture state that when bees are fed scorched honey the honey in the combs did not diner there from. The same results occurred when granulated honey was fed to the' bees. Honey can therefore be adulterated in the combs. Glucose, when fed to bees, is defosited in the combs as glucose, and it has ong been known that certain flowers pro duced honey of a superior quality to that derived from others. Odds and Ends. A fresh egg feels heavier in the hand and looks clear und semi-transparent before a light. If the egg stands upright in water it is bad, and liobliquely it is not as fresh as might be. 1 ho smallest size of silk handkerchiefs, those that can be bought for 12 or 15 cents. are now used in place of rose jars. The perfumery powder is placed in a round bag of cotton, which, in turn, is tied into the handkerchief with many loops of the nar rowest ribbon of a contrasting shade. The best thing for washing the hair is hard soap, procured from tbe kitchen. Make a strong suds, rub it quickly on the hair and iunt as Quickly wash it ott again. This removes superfluous oil and leaves the hair in good condition for a general rub bing and shampooing with warm water and perfumed toilet soap. boapsuds thickened with glycerine and the white of an egg are responsible for the lovely, satiny gloss to be seen in the back coils of so many of oar pretty society lassies. Floor cushions instead of hassocks or foot-stools are tho newest revival. One has often seen in old pictures the luxuriouslooking cushions of velvet or what not lying before the easy chairs, but when In life the also luxurious modern youth lounges on a divan, with his feet imbedded in a large, soft pillow, one may know tbe rumor is a fact that they nave superseded other styles of foot rests. An odd cushion of this kind was bought the other day in New York. It is called "Madagascar," and consists of a regular pillow, longer than it it is wide, filled apparently with dried grass hav. in fact and covered with a striped goods like jute in texture, with tbe natural ecru varied by a pinkish red. blue and yellow. Un each of the longer sides small tassels of the goods fringed and then tied are set closelv together for ornament They servo also to lift it by, as the rather slippery surface makes them ditnoult to catch to lift On Edwin Booth's Portrait. That faco which no man ever saw And banished from hU memory quite, With eyes In whioh are Hamlet's awe And Cardinal Richelieu's subtle light. T. B. Aldrich. Talk's cheap, but when it's backed up by a pledge of the Jiard cash of a financially re sponsible firm, or company, of world-wide reputation for fair and honorable dealing, it means business I Now, there are scores of sarsaparillas and other bloodpunhers, all cracked up to be the best, purest, most peculiar and wonderful, but bear m mind ( for your own sake ), there s only me guaranteed blood-purifier and remedy for torpid liver and all diseases that come from bad blood That one standing solitary and alone sold on trials is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
