ÖP BXARKED PnOGRESS LATELY MADE BY AMimiCAV FARMERS. Good AYrontcht 1r Crromrrlf Colli StorKF nutl DrjinK EatahllMlimenta of Great lleneflt The Factory System M Applied to Fnrroi, The introduction of the creamery opened markets to farmers in some sections who could in no possible manner compete with those near the great ekic-s, as the creameries served to make butter in large lots and ship It by wholesale. The farmer doe3 not get as much for hif milk as when he shipped 1: to cities, but he gains much in the labor and time savei. while those living at nmote distances are placed nearly under the sam? advantaged as those nearer the markets. The creamery is but the beginning of the factory system as applied to farms. In many localities the creamery la owned by the farmers, and worked under a cooperative system, in which they share the profits, an I, while it has placed more butter and checfe on tha market than when those articles were made on the various farms, yet butter and cheese bring higher prices row than before, and the demand is much greater. The better prices were secured by reason of the superior articles furnished, and improvements have also been nude not only in the quality of the articles, but also In the breeds of cattle necessary in conducting large operations of the kind. Cold Storage and Farm Product. The packing houses have taught farmers that cattle may be slaughtered and meat kept for a long time by cold storage and shipment in refrigator cars. Within recent yeaT3 cold storage has become a feature with merchants who handle perishable products, and progressive farmers are also resorting to it as a means of saving certain kinds of farm producta for winter sale. Last summer hundreds of refrigator cars carried small fruits to distant points that never would have reached the markets otherwise, and beef, pork and mutton, fresh from grass, and made fat with corn at a season of the year when the cost could be reduced to a minimum, was packed away by farmers by cold storage instead of salted and smoked, to be sold to the butchers in the towns nearby. With the aid of establishments on the creamery system, in some sections, farmers expect to be able to raise more cattle and secure better prices. Dried Fruits. The labor of drying a limited amount of frail has been an obstacle in that direction, but millions of pounds of fruit that the farmers lose by reason of no opportunity of marketing it can be converted into a saleable article by drying, and a drying establishment in a community where fruit is largely grown would prove invaluable. Thit such establishments have not become numerous cannut be explained, as they are i rea lly a necessity, fr n .t only fruits, but atoes. turnips, pumpkins, sw-et corn, p ota toe and many other ve.? taole.s coul 1 be supplied in markets where they would be accepted. Vegetables have even been neglected by individual capitalists, yet there is no doubt that they could be easily introduced for sale. All establishments which serve to enable the farmers to sell at wholesale near their homes open up greater advantages for growing larger crops at the same time. Philadelphia Record. Household II in In. Powdered rice is said to be very effi from frerh ' cacious in stopt-ing bleedin wounds. It is claimed that cistern water may be purified by hanging in it a bag filled with charcoal. When the burners of lamps become clogged with char put them in strong soapsuds and boll awhile to clean them. The creases can be taken out of velvet and the pile raised by drawing it across a hot iron over which a wet cloth has been spread. If there are pin marks over whih the pile refuses to rise, brush it up with a stiff brush and steam it, repeating? the operation several times. Cleaning Woolwork If the woolwork is not much soiled stretch it on a frame and wash it over with a quart of water into which a tablespoonful of oxgall has been dropped. If much soiled wash with gin and soft soap in the proportion of a quarter of a pound of soap to half a pint it gin. When carefully washed stretch the work out to dry and iron on the wrong side while it is still damp. If the woolwork is only faded and not dirty stretch it In a frame and sponge it with a pint of warm water Into which sap the size of a walnut has been dropped and a tcaspoonful of oxgall. Wash out the mixture by sponging the work over with plain warm water and leave In the frame until It is perfectly dry. The Hands In order to preserve the hands soft and white they should always be washed! in warm water, with line sap, and carefully dried with a moderately coarse towel, being well rub"..ed every time, to Insure a brisk circulation, than which nothing can be more effectual in procuring a transparent and soft surface. If engaged In any accidental pursuit, whicli may hurt the color of the hands, or if they have been exposed to the sun. a little lemon juice will restore their whiteness for the time, and lemon soap Is proper to wash them with. Almond paste i.s of essential service In preserving tne delicacy of the hands. The following is a serviceable pomade for rubbing the hands, on retiring to rest: Take two ounces of sweet almonds; beat with three drachms of spermaceti, beaten up carefully in rosewater. Gloves should be always worn on exposure to the atmosphere Dusting About Stoves A good deal of dusting around coal stoves- and open fires may be done to advantage with a damp Sponge. An experienced housekeeper uses a large, coarse sponge, once devoted to washing carriages. Throw it Into a pail of warm water, and add a teaspoonful of spirits of ammonia. Squeeze It out as dry as possible and pass It quickly and lightly over the plain furniture, the paint, the zinc, the corners of the carpets, the oilckxh, etc.. rinsing out occasionally. it will remove every bit of dirt, and not merely disperse It Into the room, as a cloth or feather duster too often does, an.i leave a bright., shining, clear surface that Is very gratifying. While you have the pail I !n hand vnii will fln.1 it vnv tr. io.. .r t eeema to come, no one knows how. in winter. Yon give a cleansing touch hero and there to dors. cupboard shelves, or tables, and very little los of time and without any of that deliberate effort required for regular cleaning. All Aronnil the Karra. The stock of hog3 kept on the farm may be expected to improve or retrograde, according to the ability with which they are managed. Before the ground freezes see that good drainage is provided the fall-sown wheat and grass, a.s well as in the orchard" and among the small fruits. Blackberries and raspberries In northern latitudes should be protected. The simplest and surest way is to lay them down in the row and cover lightly with earth. If you have potatoes, cabbages or roots of any kind pitted be sure the drainage is good or a heap of decayed vegetables may be all you will find in the spring. While mulching is often beneficial, especially to young growing trees and among the small fruits, it should not be applied until the ground freezes sufficiently hard to bear up a wagon. The Germintown Telegraph says that If a cheese factory is located in a good dairy district and farmers persist in sending only inferior milk to it. the closing of that factory is only a question of time. A damp roosting place is an abomination, and yet fowl.i prefer a wet roost free from lice to a dry on covered with vermin

; which Bap their blood and strength. This i will explain why some people's chickens

preror to roost on trees. A good way of applying manure is upon grass lands during the latter part of the fall and early winter, taking care to scatter out as evenly as possible, as with coarse fresh manure there is danger of killing out the grass unless thL is done. It is believed that to this date some 60,000.000 bushels of wheat have been fed to live stock, chiefly to hogs, and that if wheat remains luv and corn- continues at good prices, 80,000.000 to 00,000.000 bushels of this year's wheat crop 'will be fed to domestic animals. One progressive farmer in Kansas goes so far a3 to cover his manure heaps by rnans of fine netting, to prevent the entrance of flies to deposit their eggs. He finds this an effective preventive, when ad led to the other precautions he takes with his stables and other outhouses. Some sorts of pears, notably the Bartlett, Clapp's Favorite and Lucrative, never fail of a crop, and by using- care varieties may be planted so as to come in one after another. The pear is a sure crop all the time, and the wonder is that more of them are not to be seen about our farm houses. A live stock writer says there are very few farma in this country upon which it wi!l not pay to keep a few sheep say about one sheep to every three acres of land. Their value as gleaners and in ridding the lanes, roadsides, fence corners and pastures of noxlou3 weeds 13 not halfway appreciated as it should be. Prof. Conn says that the butter aroma which appears in the butter is the result of the ripening process. Sweet cream butter does not have Lhis delicate flavor, and, while there is a demnjid in our markets, perhaps a growing demand, . for sweet cream butter, it never develops the delicate flavor known as butter aroma. A writer thus sums up the sources of profit in sheep: There is the wool, the mutton, the young lambs, the sales for breeding purposes, and the enrichment they give the land. Further, they are consumers of weeds, which are so constant a nuisance, and they live upon these and other thinps, which other animals refuse. The biggest and most prosperous sheep firms In Illinois, says an exchange, have raised this year 25. 000 bushel of turnips, at a cost of $6.25. besides the cost of sowing the seed. Such cheap feed supplies must solve the question of profitable sheep raising in this country. It has done as much for other countries, and can for this. Monthly roses may be kept through the winter in good shape by being covered with hard coal ashes. A good way to do this is to put a nail keg, with heads out. over the bushes and fill with the ashes When the bushes are too large for this ue a larger frame. Of course this protec tion may fall in the case of the tender house roses. here several cows are kepi. If it is not considered bi to feed all so as to maintain a free flow of milk, it will be better to select a sufficient number to fu nlc?h what milk is wanted and feed them liberally and let the rest go dry rather than distribute the feed among a larger number and have each one only give small mess of milk. It is no advantage and. In fact, in many ca.es it is positive detriment to allow the stock to run out on the pastures or meadows too late. Pome growth of the leaves is necessary to secure proper pro-t-vti -n for the roots, and it is better to 'commence ieeoinri a mue earner raui.-r ', thai to run the risk of killing out the gra-s plants lor ine smau amoum ui leeu that will be secured. The good qualities of the grade are valuable only in the animal showing them There is no certainty that they will be transmitted to its posterity. Rather is there certainty that such qualities will not be transmitted. A grade female bred to a thoroughbred male of her own kind will generally breed trt:e to the male. IJut if bred to a male of another breed, even though a thoroughbred, this prepotency of tri male is less certain. The result is al most sure to be a mongrel, inferior to either or its parents Reef pen.

ACTIVELY AT WORK.

IlKMAnKADLE EXPERIECE OP IlEV. XV. J. OHAII OF CHATHAM. Ilia Interentlnfr Story of III Proof ration nud Itentorntlon to Health. (From the State Journal, Springfield, 111.) In the pretty little village of Chatham, Sangamon county, there lives a Baptist divine whose snow-white hair is the one outward sign that he has encroached upon the days beyond the allotted three score years and ten. His clear eye, keen mental faculties and magnificent physique all bear witness to a life well and nobly spent. This pioneer in Ojd's eternal vineyard is Rev. W. J. Chapin, whose 72 years are crowded with noble deeds in the Christian ministry. To a State Journal representative who had occasion to ask him something of his career in the ministry. Mr. Chapin talked in a peculiarly interesting strain. The subject of his fine physique was broached by his interviewer and with increasing earnestness he said that, in spite of the indications to the contrary, his life had not all been sunshine and good health. "A-s my present appearance testifies, I was fortunate In the possession of a very vigorous constitution. In my earlier years I scarcely knew what it meant to be sick, and I was almost a perfect stranger to any kind of medicine or tonic. As is too often the case, I overestimated my physical resources, and when it was too late learned that I had overdrawn my health account. The crisis came about eighteen yeara ago. At the time I was preaching the gospel from the pulpit, and I became suddenly so ill that I was compelled to stop before my sermon was finished. It was a bad case of nervous prostration, and ror a time my friends and family were greatly exercised over my condition. Complete rest was imperative, and to divert my mind from my active ministerial duties, Mrs. Chapin and I planned and took a long trip. My health was sufficiently restored by this diversion to resume work, but I was not the same man. I shall never forget that awful experience. It is hard to describe my feelings so that others can have a conception of them. I felt absolutely worthless, physically and mentally. I had so lost control of my muscles that my fingers would involuntarily release their grip upon a pen, and my hand would turn over with absolutely no volition on my part. "About two years ago, to intensify matters, I was seized with a severe attack of la grippe. I recovered only partially from it and had frequent returns of that indescrlable feeling which accompanies and follows that strange malady. I looked in vnin for something to bring relief and finally I read an account of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Something seemed to tell me that they would do me good and I commenced using them. They gave me additional strength from the start and toned up my system from a condition of almost absolute prostration so that I was able again to resume my duties as a minister. I was so unaccustomed to taking mtlicine that I did not take the pills as regularly as I should have, and yet my improvement was marvelous. I am now preaching at Forest City and Loami and in addition to the exacting character of this work itself, I ride ten or fifteen mile3 on the way there and back." Mrs. Chapin. a kindly-faced elderly lady, was present during the conversation and said: "I don't think Mr. Chapin could ever have resumed his preaching after he had the attack of la grippe had it not been for the Pink Pills. They did him so much good that I decided to test their efficacy on myself. I have befn troubled for years with what our physician. Dr. Hewitt, calls I rheumatic paralysis. Electricity gives me relief, but since taking the Pink Pias I have been stronger and the pain in my right arm and hand is less acute. We keep the pills in the h)u.e nearly all the time, and they do me a gieat deal of good in the way of toning up my system and strengthening me. The pills are used by a good many others in this vicinity and every one speaks well of them. Mrs. Japh Knotts, wife of Supervisor Kn vtts. was ill for a long time and her friends had all given her case up as hopeless when she began using the pills. It was the first medicine that helped her. She had been ill for a good many years and has been greatly benefited by the Pink Pills." These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Comf-any, Schenectady, N. Y.. and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at SO cents a box or six bottles for J2.5f, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr, Williams' Medicine Company. utes. Arrange the potatoes on a hot dish and rarnish with parsley. Serve very hot. To have this dish in perfection butter must be used generously. Gravy for Hashes. Etc. Break the bones of any crooked joint, anj put tnem into a saucepan with any spare cuttings or meat you may have. Add a little pepper, salt. twelve allspice, one-half a head of celerv end a bouauet of sweet herbs. Add suf ficient water to cover It, and simmer for about two hours. Cut a small onion Into slices, fry It in a little butter, add It to the prravy anc let it boll fifteen minutes. Strain It Into another stewpan, with two tableppoonful of walnut catsup and a piece of butter rolled In flour: boll it up and It will be ready for ycxur meat. Roast Huck Wild duck Fhould be served rare. Among some fashionable people the time given for roasting them Is ten minutef. but this I not enough to heat them through. Twenty minutes Is about the rltrht time. The oven should be extremely hot when the ducks are put in. Either a brown olive mice or currant sauce if suitable for roast ducks, but It seems a pity to lose the delicious flavor of a good bird by the addition of any kind of sauce. The flavor of all ducks is Improved by putting a few tablespoonfuls of minced celery and onion in the bodies before they are cooked. Pilaff (n famous Turkish dish) Take five cupfuls cf good beef Ptock; season it highly with pepper and salt and plenty of tomatoes; add three cups of rice, set it on a moderate fire and simmer it until the rice has absorbed the soup. Cut up a chicken, season it with pepper and salt, and fry it nicely in butter. Make a hole In the rice, put In the chicken and cover It up In the rice. Melt one-half pound of butter (do not let It boll), anc turn It over the rice. Iet it stand where It will keep hot about fifteen minutes, until the rice absorbs the butter; then turn It on the dish, but do not stir it up. Serve very hot. Chocolate Pudding Warm half a oint of milk, stir into it one-fourth pound1 of grated chocolate, and five ounces of crumbled sronge biscuits; stir all over the fire till dissolved, turn It Into a basin, and leave till cool. Then mix In two ounces of caster siiear and the beaten yelks of three etrtrs; whisk the whites to a froth, and mix them In. Pour the mixture Into a buttered mold anO steam for one and a half hours. Stale bread can be used Instead of sponge biscuits. If preferred. Serve the pudding with whipped cream or chocolate sauce made with half a pint of milk, two ounces of chocolate, a little sugar and a flavoring of vanilla. French Svmp Take two dozen f rocs' lees an pour over them lukewarm water, let them remain In It about five minutes, but not to cook: pour off the water and add pqual quantities of milk and water sufficient to cover, cook moderately about half an hour, simmer a small onion chopped, In butter, add It to the soup with one quart of rich milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter. a little salt and pepper, and a ewe rt spoon - lui or cnoppea parsiey; RKim the legs from the noun and remove the meat from the bones, put the meat Into the tureen with a tablespoonful of thick era.m and a little celery chopped very fine; pour In the hot soup and serve at once. Management of Children. A competent nurse says most of chil dren's naughtiness i taught by mother or nurse. "Baby does not cheerfu'.ly kiss you. See: 'Mamma cry if baby will not kiss her. Boo hoo!' And mamma makes be lieve to cry In her hands till baby pulls her fingers away from the deceiving eyes, and mammx laughs and does -not always re member when she stops boo hooing to exact the kiss. Of course by a mere animal process of reasoning baby learns to cry for what It wants. Has It not had the 'line upon line? "When baby makes a misstep and down he goes, avoid the Scylla and Charybdis of nursery shipwreck. Neither make a great fuss over the bump and weaken his selfcontro. by too much sympathy nor do that other miserable thing, strike the offending object of collision, saying: 'Naughty old tab.e. Whip the UKe for hitting little boy's head." This 13 often the first lesson In combativene8s, and the baby who hits back the passive chair that Is eald to have hit him becomes equil'y active in slappingchildren or other folk who morally or physically oppose. " . i

i DELEGATE TO ACCOM PAXY THE ARMEM AX COMMISSION. The I'nltrd Stuten at Kirn Dccllnrd to nnie n Cnnniilioner for Political Reaaonn Great Britain Invitation I'nt n Different Aspect on the Matter. CONSTANTINOPLE. Dec. 7. President Clevelind has sent a cable message here saying that he has reconsidered hi3 decision not to send an American delcgite with the Turkish commission appointed to inquire into the Armanian outrages. The president adds that he will allow the American legation here to nominate a delegata to accompiny the portes Armenian commission. The Turkish government is mmifesting a great desire to satisfy the powere that :e United States government was the first asked to send a delegate with tha Armenian commission, but the United States declined. The earl of Klmberly, the British secretary of state for foreign affairs, was al33 requested to nominate a delegite and he Immediately assented. Nobody here seems to know why President Cleveland at first declined to send a delegate with the commission, and It Is understood that the United States and Great Britain are still In communication upon the subject. The final arrangements are as yet Incomplete. The Turkish authorities say they believe that no such murders and excesses as those described by the Armenians were committed by the regular Turkish soldiery, although they say that it Is possible that in their operations against the rebellious villages a great number of people have been killed. But the murder of defenseless Inhabitants is deemed wholly improbable, as the Turkish troops would only fight against armed rebels. The porte claims that this trouble was seized upon by the Armenians in order to get up a political agitation. REASOX FOR THE DECLIXATIOX. On Aeeonnt of the Stntn of European Politics. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. The announcement, exclusively made by the Associated Press In the cible dispatch from Constantinople, that President Cleveland had reconsidered his original inten:ion and decided to send an American delegate with the Turkish commission to inquire Into the Armenian outrages was shown Secretary Gresham today. Until very recently the department has been very much in the dark officially as to the Armenian troubles, but at last information was received that warranted action and this has been as announced. The course pursued by the United States has been marked by great prudence and a desire to refrain as far as dictates cf humtni:y would permit from any entanglement in Euroopean politics. The United State3 having declined to j oin in the commission, however, tht porte was obliged to yield to the extent of permitting the European governments to name the commissioners. Up to this point the government had been in doubt as to the reality of the reported outrages. The Turkish government had declared positively that the Armenian afttir was nothing but a rebellion which had been suppressed in a legitimate manner. There had been a battle, some sixty or seventy Turkish soldiers had been killed and the rebels had lost about 500 or 600 men. But at this Juncture came reports from trusted agents discrediting the cnicial reports of the Turkish government and affording reason ' for the belief that the Armenians had been terribly outraged. Then Jreat Britain appealed to the Urited States, in the interest of absolute justice, and to insure a report above suspicion and beyond contravention by the Turks themselves, to appoint a member of the commission of inquiry. This appeal turned the tide and induced the president to reconsider hi3 first decision. As the signatory powers of the Berlin treity at the close of the Turco-Itusslan war had bound themselves to look after th? welfare of Christians In Turkey, it would have been an unwarranted inter ference by the United States in the affairs of those countries had we taken any steps. without solicitation from one or more of those powers, beyond caring for the In terests of United States citizens In Turkey. So when Turkey requested United States Minister Terrell to name a member of the commission of inquiry, the request was for political reasons declined. Turkey had niturally turned first to the United States as the only Christian power whos? con clustn3 would be likely to carry weight with the Christian world, upon w'hose absolute di?lnteree-tedneS3 she could rely. The great Christian nations of Europe were all under suspicion of having designs upon Turkish integrity, yet it was necesstry, In order to stem the tide of rising indigna tlon, to place a Christian on the commis slon of inquiry, if its findings were to be conclusive upon Europe. Story of the Oatragrca. ATHENS, Dec. 7 A further story cf outrage by Turks has been told here by an eye-witness of the occurrence. An Armenian has just arrived in this city from Hadj!n, an Armenian town, from which p'.ace he escaped shortly after the outrage was perpetrated. Iladjin is, or rather was. a town of 1,200 wooden houses, situated near Marash. The refugee states that on the night of Oct. 23 four Turkish officers and two gendarmes set fire to the town, using petroleum to cause the more rapid spread of the flames. An Armeaian named' Merdakian Garabed. with his mother, witnessed the incendiaries at their work and cried for help. A Turkish ofllcial, who was appealed to to send aid to extinquish the fire, refused to permit any esistance. Garabed wras seized by order of the officials and thrown into prison. Three days later Garabed was killed and his body thrown into the ruins of his burned house. Two refugees have - also arrived here from Zeitun. They 6tate that Turkish troops seized Archbishop Nlgohoa in the monastery of Fournout, near Zeitun, together with eleven residents of the village of Zeitun. Alt the prisoners were taken in chains in Smyrnl eleven days ago. Their fate is unknown. The TrniiBfornted 11 e. On a stool before the dresser. Looking wondrous sweet and wt3e.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ATTOIlEV-GKEHAL OLKY FILES IIIS AVM AL. HlOPOHT. The Supreme Conrt In a Few Years Will II Ahle to DUpoae of the ItnnlnewM with Dlspntch The Fnllmnn Strike The Soldiers' Home. WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 4. The attorney-general's (innual report to congress, made public today, shows that the affairs with which the department of justice hns had to deal during the past year have been, in some particulars, of unusual interest and importance. From the figures given, the continuous growth of business in the federal courts is manifest. In speaking of the supreme court, the attorney-general says that at no distant day It will be "as distinguished for the promptitude with which decisions are rendered as it once was for the delays inevitably accompanying them." and predicts that the court "in the course of a few years will be able to dispose of its docket in a session of two or three months, while the Justices will bo able to devote a reasonable amount of time to the circuit courts of appeals ?nd to thus materially add to the efficiency and prestige of those court?." After mentioning the steadily increasing business of the circuit courts of appeals, Mr. Olney suggests that, as the system has come to stay, an additional circuit judge should be appointed in each of the Seventh and Ninth circuits and possibly in the Sixth. The facts ooncerning the claim presented by the United States to the executrix o'f the estate of Leland Stanford is tersely stated In the report. It is shown that under the constitution of California each stockholder of a corporation is individually and personally liable for his proportion of all its debts nnd liabilities; that the Central Pacific railroad company is a California corporation and in the year of 18G3 absorbed the Western Pacific railroad company, which was also a California corporation; that aid was given bth corporations by the United States in the shape of subsidy bonds and on account of which, and the Interest paid thereon by the United States, there will eventually result when the subsidy bonds shall have all matured, an indebtedness to the United States ag?regniting, in. round numbers, $60.000,000; that Leland Stanford, at the time the subsidy bonds were advanced. owned stock in both the railroads to the extent of one-quarter of the whole stock and hence became . liable to the Unitd States to the extent of one-quarter of the indebtedness. The report states that the claim involves complicated and strenuously contested questions, both of law and of fact, as to the merits of which it is impossible to form any absolutely reliable Judgment In advaoe of a thorough Judicial investigation. On this point the at torney-general says it was plainly the duty of the department to see that the claim. whatever Us merits or its value, was not prejudiced by the decease of Stanford and the administration of his estate in the state probate court. The claim waä presented, and, except this, no action has yet been taken. "I have offered to bring suit upon tha claim at once upon the defendmts agreeing that evidence taken in it should be deemed evidence in any subsequent suit, if such subsequent suit were found to ba necessary. This proposition has not, yet ben accepted." The report directs attention to certain recommendations in the last annual re port and requests their favorab.e consid eration by congress. They relate to: 1. The abolition of the system by which United States district attorneys, marshals. clerks and commissioners axe paid by fees. 2. The vesting In United States commis sioners, wherever it can. legiLy be done.

Making writs of error in case of crime not capital run to the circuit court of appeals instead of to the supreme court. 4. The recognition of decrees in the crime of murder and In the punishment therefor. 5. Writs of error on behalf of the United States in criminal cases. The 'attorney-general briefly reviews the course taken by the department with referenca to the "commonwealers." The Pnllmau Strike. Mr. Olney devotes several pages of his report to the Pullman strike, in the course o? which he says that the relation to It of the department of Justice was Indirect and arose only when the railroads of the country became involved and the passage of United States mails and the movements of interstate commerce were Interfered with. "To compel a settlement of disputes between the Pul'.man company and a portion of Its employes," says the attorney-general, "nothing Ies3 was meditated and aimed at than a complete stoppage of all the railroad transportation of the country, state and interstate, and freight as well as passenger. Such a result, involving, for a city like Chicago, the loss of the very necessaries of life, it seemed to be the duty of the department to prevent by the most vigorous use of all the legal weapons at its command." Tha aittorney-general reviews the action of the United States marshal, under the direction of tha attorney-general, in procuring an Injunction from the United States court against Debs and his associates, restraining them from ail interference with trains carrying United States mails or engaged in interstate traffic, and says that it was hoped that the vigorous measures taken by the marshal would prpve adequate to the emergency r.nd resort to the military arm of the government would be unnecessary. The situation, however, did not improve and on July 3 It had become so serious that Marshal Arnold, Judge Grasscup and United States Attorneys Walker and Milchrist Joined in a telegram urging tha immediate sending of troops to Chicago. This request was complied with, and the result of the legaJ proceedings referred to and of the manifest determination and readiness of th? executive to carry them Into full effect became at once apparent. The strike at Chicago, so far as it involved the obstruction of United States mails and the paralysis of Interstate commerce, was practically broken when the United States troops reached that Olty. and. being broken at Chicago, was in reality broken everywhere else.

FR ill.; WEEKLY SENyear and Dainty! t 01S INDIANAPOLIS. MAY JOIN SECRET ORDERS ACTIOV OF CATHOLICS IV TTID'. ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PA IX. Vnrlon Person Hare Done So In h Past The Cane of JoUr Kelly Vutlcnn Will Soon Give Out a De einlon Hearing: on the Subject. ST. PAUK Dec. 7. The fact has Just tx-on published that in the archdiocese ot St. Paul catholics may Join any Beeret society except the masonlo order. Tbl' has been known for some time, but not generally. Judge Kelly of the district court has just joined the Knights of Pythias, although he Is one of the moet prominent catholic laymen In America, and considerable talk among secret society members has res-jltcd. Other prorrtlnentsj catholics are also Joining: One of them, & catholic, said today: j "Archbishop Irelani has decided thatr. a catholic may join any secret order excopt the masonic, that catholics are at liberty to do as they please in that regard. J The public announcement of the fact has not been mad?, but there is the best oC' authority for the statement, and It Is gen-j erally understood among catholics. Mgr. Itavoux gives it as a fact." ! Toere can be no doubt of it, as thosw who are now joining the secret orders ara1 earnest catholics of dignity and standing. It is well known that Archbishop Ire-, land i.s a very liberal cleric, and has not herttated to take the matter to Rome. ( The ban of the church has tended to bar: catholics from the fellowship found In secret societies and some have held for no cause, as there are Innumerable social and benevolent societies In the United State which could not Justly bo deemed In conflict with the policy of the holy see. Archbishop Ireland, in an interview with cn Associated Press representative, tonight said: "The question whether catholics should belong to secret societies, such as the Sons of Temperance. OdJ Fellows, Knights cf Pythias, or not is now being considered, by the authorities at Home and a decision will be given soon. In the meantime tha catholics will do well not to seek membership In these societies." It is stated on the part of those catholics who Joined these societies that each casa is oon?id-rvi by its-lf and a special re quest made for each to the authorities. QI EER EFFECTS OF A HURT. Forty-Klve A fn r of a. Man'i Rendered u Ulnnk. Lift "In the village of LuW," says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, lives Clem Wallis. When he was a boy about fifteen years of age he went out to his father's pasture to catch a frisky colt. As he was about to place a halter around his neck the colt kicked him in the head, n aking a ragged wound. The wound healed, but it soon became apparent that the man was slightly demented, and his hallucination took peculiar forms. He would travel up and down the bay on steamboats, claiming the proprietorship of the latter and refusing to pay fare. The steamboat men. humored him. as he was considered daft, nnd hs was the butt of the small bos-s Jokes and b.mter. He has lived in the village since, nnd Is r.ow sixty years of age. About six weeks ngo the local physicians determined to experiment on his case. They found that n portion of his skull had been forced inti contact with the brain by the Mow. and by a skillful operation removed the pressure. Strange to say, the man has now recovered his rea son, and the first Question he a?ked, when he recovered from the operation, wa, Did the colt get away?' Wallis is perfectly sane now, but forty-five years of hU life are a perfect blank to him."
