Ex-President Cleveland’s girl is all right except that it ought to have been a boy. 'The principal business of the Civil Service Reform League is to meet once a year and re-elect George William Curtis as its President. The League base-ball games end with Boston Ist, Chicago 2nd. New : York 3d, etc., and Pi ttsburg the bottom. The world will now please settle down to business again for six months. The Canadian Parliament has adjourned, for the reason, probably, that it was ashamed to remain in session any longer when so many revelations of political corruption were being made in that country. Australian theater goers have concluded that John L. Sullivan is not an actor. This conclusion will hardly be regarded in America as a national affront. If the Australians will keep John L. nothing more wiß be said about it. The plundering of the wrecked savings bank in Kingston, N. Y.• appears to have gone on for twenty years without discovery, and to have been found out in the end partly by accident. Here is another instance in which directors do not direct. The past ten yearsthecorn crop has averaged about 1.625,000.000 bushels annually. This year the yield is likely to be about 2,000.000.000 bushels, a figure which has been exceeded only once, and that was in 1889. Moreover, the demand for exportation will probably be great enough to exhaust the entire crop and insure fair prices. The action of a German guard in compelling a Chicago tourist to fetch a bucket of water and some soap and scrub his name off the base of a fam-

ous monument where the wretched man had written it made “the punishment fit the crime’’ in a capital manner. It is a pity that our law officers can not do the same with defacers of natural scenery and scrib biers of autographs in public places. The total expenditure by Americans in European travel is estimated at $62,500,000 annually, of which $13,000,000 is for steamship fare. $11,000,000 for purchases abroad and the remainder for traveling expenses in Europe. In view of the magnitude of. this last item the railroads and steamboats of Europe ough t to furnish Americans with better accommodations than they do. London newspaper correspondents seem to have been taking lessons from the flowery gentlemen acting as correspondents at Washington. They report an alleged interview of Emperor William and Queen Victoria. in which the Emperor declares that he proposed to make war on France very soon, and which knowlcircumvent his war proposals, etc. “yTf is more than probable that there is not a word of truth in this alleged interview. • . i It will perhaps encourage the American geiltlemen who are going to South Africa to hunt for the Ophir of the Old Testament to know that two sculptured monkeys upon the wall of an Egyptian temple, and under them an inscription recording a sea expedition on a gold hunting quest 1.700 years before the Christian era. have been accepted’ by learned men as evidence that gold was sought further south in Africa at that early day. Some people have tried to show that Ophir was in India. —These stone monkeys, however, are unmistakably African and not Indian animhls, and perhaps the evidence they afford is as substantial as any the gentlemen will pick up in South Africa. ’ ■

A very large tree one, of the largest in California, the country of big trees, was discovered near Arlington, Snohomish county, a few days ago. It is a cedar, and measures sixty-eight feet in circumference. Around the knotty roots the tree measure ninety-nine feet About seventy-five feet from the ground jt forks into four immense branches, and just below the forks is a big knot hole. Five men climbed into the hole and explored the interior of the tree. It was found to be a mere and about forty-five feet down it would afford standing room for forty men. The tree is still green, and a remarkable feature is said to be that it is barked on the in<ude and the outside alike.

ANOTHER EMBARGO RAISED.

Wheti the Senate tariff committee begins the debate on the proposition to remove the prohibition : 6f theHmportation of American pork, says a Paris cable oil the 19th, the ultra protectionist member< w ill attempt to secure an adverse r®por* on tlie scheme. Neither M. Jules Ferry -norM. Tirard. who are both members ol thisJmportant. committee, are very ;sanguine that the proposal can be carried. M.

Personallyhe was on the side of the government in its wish to satisfy the demands ol the United States. The recent quarrel of M.

The arti cl c con ti n u es: “Th at. he is not a leader to-day is more duo to the supreme egotism and cold-blooded selfish - ness of the mail than to his lg,c.k of ability; forgetting,the grand, self-sacrificing tight of his party, that went down to defeat with him.

ARSON IN OLD DAVIESS. Wasfiifigton is undergoing the most ex citing and sensational scenes in its history. Detectives have been at work for a week' on the court house fire, and up to this hour have arrested four persons supposed to be implicated in the incendiarism. Samuel Harbine, a day laborer living in Washington, was arrested Tuesday night, charged with complicity in the burn-, ing of the records. After being -arrested he confessed the crime, and implicated several prominent people therein. As-a result County Auditor James C. Lavelle, together with A. B. Hawes, a prominent citizen of Steele township, were arrested Wednesday, and were placed in jail; also a man by the name of Bazil Ledgerwood. The officers are now in pursuit of Alichael Lavelle, a brother of the auditor. Harbine!? story is to the effect that Le- : wlle employed him to burn the court house, for which he was to receive $503 <; Only $5 of this amount has been paid. It is also reported that Ledgerwood is anxious to turn State’s evidence. He claims to have been given a house and lot for his part in the nefarious deed. Auditor Lavelle’s bondsmen, becoming frightened,at the turn affaire were t aking, required him to turn over all his property to them. He has been auditor of the county nearly eight years, and the fact that the people' had confidence in him makes his accusation Lnd arrest the sensation of the hour From certain circumstances it is supposed heis short in his accounts, but no one knows the amount. Experts are now at work on his books. Hawes lives on a farm o wned by his wife, and is in good circumstances financially. He is a desperate character, however, and was brought in St the muzzle of a Winchester. JThe city is full of peonle from the country. Business is almost suspended and everybody is discussing the arrest of tne conspirators.

BLUE-JACKETS KILLED.

Fatal Street-Fight Between American Tarr and Chilian Men-of-Warn-Jlen. The New York Herald’s Valparaiso correspondent telegraphs as follows under date ofOct, 17th: “Three, perhaps four, American men-df* war men were, killed and several others mqre or less wounded in a desperate street fight here this afternoon with a crowd of Chilian sailors. “The Chilians did not do all the fighting for when the fight was ended a number of them were, found to be pretty badly hurt, thoughso far as I can ascertain now none of them was killed. The American bluejackets who were engaged in the battle were from the United States cruiser Baltimore and the Chilians were from the varivous war ships now in the harbor. “There are several accounts of the origin of the difficulty. One of them, which seems plausible, is this: Ever since the triumph of the junta there has been a feeling among the lower classes of the people of marked hostility to the Americans and blue-jackets from the American war ships werfl sometimes subjected to insult. It is alleged that a party of men from the Baltimore, ashore on liberty, met with the CMitfan men-of-wars men. The hatreclof ' the Yankees led to some insulting remarks t which Was resented by one of the hotterI headed Americans, and this brought on the general fight, which was attended with such fatal results. There was much excitement in the city when the news of the fight spread. The unforunate affair is generally regretted in official circlesand among the better class of citizens.”

FIGHT FOR LIFE

E hall we Drive Slow Poison From onr Breakfast Table. ■ ““ K i Alum and Ammonia in our Bread. A nusiance that has troubled England fifty years ago is now rapidly spreading in this country, Jhat is putting Alum in the bread we eat. This question is causing a great deal of discussion at the present moment as it is revealed that alum is being us6d as a substitute for cream of tartar in baking powders. A story is told that a very large percentage of the baking powders sold on the market contain either alum or ammonia, and many of them contain both these pernicious drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at the wholesale use of alum in bread ; biscuit and pastry. To young children, growing girls, persons of weakly frame, alum bread eaten morning, noon and evening is the most harmful. It is the small quantities taken at every meal that do the mischief. Alum is cheap, costing but two or throe cents a pound while cream of tartar costs 30c, and the high price of cream of tartar has led cheap powder to be made df alum. if the reader wants to know something of the corrosive qualities of alum let him touch a piece to his tongue then reflect how it acts on the tender delicate coats of the stomach. Following is a list compiled by the. Scientific American, of the alum and ammonia baking powders that have already been tested. ATLANTIC A PACIFIC. ROYAL. COOKS S FAVORITE. SCIOTO. CROIVN.
