The law prevents the discharge of an employe on account of membership in a union, and the attorneys for Mr. .... , . i Ross claim that the rule must work both ways J Richmond Push the electric lines must have them. The people along the ptoro3d routes want them anal want them very much. - Traction lines' at other points are growiug in popu-. laritv. The businessmen in the towns! and cities entered by these roads and the people along the lines wonder now how they ever got along without them. A walk along north E street in the manufacturing quarter will convince any one that Richmond manufactories are feeling the business boom. They are full of orders and full of hands. Many of them are away behind orders and cannot possibly catch up. Some are experiencing much difficulty in getting raw material, especially in the iron line. A Richmond manufacturer was in Pittsburg the other day purchasing material. - He found the hotels crowded with western manufacturers who were on the same illu sion. All had trouble in getting orders filled. Verily, these are McKinley times. At ind ianapolis yesterday the sta'e boa d of education opened bids for arithmetics, geographies and copy books to be furnished for a period of five years for use in the pablie schools of the state. There were thirteen bid. ders. The board, after receiving and tabulating the bids, decided to defer action until April 12, when the contract will be awarded. The law passed in ISS'J, which first established in Indiana thd open competitive system of awarding contracts for uniform sehro text books, fixed the maximum of price to be charged for arithmetics, geographie and copy books as follows: Elementary arithnetic, 35 cents; ccm-' plete arithmetic, 45 cents: elemental y geography, 30 cents; complete eeoraphy, 75 cents; copy books, 5 certs each. Most of the bids were lelow tie above figures, and some of them much below. So it is certain that the state will not pay too much for its ekmentary school books.

To this is added a belt of Ruas'a leather piped with gold bullion and embroidered in oak leaves to match the design On the collar and cuffs of the coat.

When the nervosa system is so ten down and wor i out that sleep refuses to come to its relief, the life forces are rapidly consumed and both physical and mental faculties soon lose all power of recuperation.

A XAVAL TRAGEDY. !

OLD-TIME CATASTROPHE RECALLED BY THE MAINE DISASTER. Tke Baratiac a Gaa aa taa Iriaetoa Mm Taw CraUrjt ag.iicaun4 Umh aaa DHtracttaa-rratMcat Tyler'a rraw Eaeaa araa a Horribl Fata. The destruction of the warship Maine recalls a fearful tragedy in United States naval history, in which the Secretaries of State and the Navy and other persons were instantly killed, many were wounded, and the President and several prominent statesmen and high officials had extremely narrow escapes from death. This catastrophe occurred fifty -four years ago, on the afternoon of February 28, 1844. on board the United States war steamer Princeton, Commodore Stockton, on the Potomac River, about fifteen miles below Washington. It was the Peacemaker, one of the , larger guns ot the ships armament, a " new and to the commander a favorite piece of ordance. To exhibit the superiority of these new and formidable cannon Commodore Stockton had Invited and received on board a large and brilliant company of both sexes for an excursion down the river. la this party were Included President Tyler Mrs, Robert Tyler, Miss Cooper, ler, Jr., from the White John TyHouse; a large number of officers, in full uni-t except Mr. Spencer; many other per sons of high official rank. Senators and Representatives, attaches and secretaries of legation; Gen. Almonte. Minister from Mexico. See. in all When the Princeton had fairly pass - ed Fort Washington the Peacemaker was shotted and fired, the effect of which proved its remarkable power, and won the admiration of all on board. An hour afterward, by request, the piece was loaded for firing a second time. The gun was nowpointed to leeward, and behind it stood Commodore Stockton; a little to the left of him Mr. J. Washington Tyson, Assistant Postmaster-General. By the side of the latter, a little behind him, stood Mr. Strickland of Philadelphia, and a little to the right of but behind him, Col. Benton of Missouri, who had a lady at his arm, and Judge S. S. Phelps, Senator from Vermont. To the leeward of the gun stood Judge Upshur, the Secretary of State, and Gov. Gilmer, the Secretary of the Navy; and a short distance behind them Mr. Maxey, the late Charge d'Affaires to Belgium. By the side of him stood the Hon. Mr. Gardiner of New York and Commodore Kennon, chief of the Navy Bureau. On firing the gun a murderous blast succeeded the whole ship shook and reeled and a dense cloud of smoke enveloped the entire group on the forecastle; but when this blew away an awful and heartrending scene presented itself to the view of the hushed and agonized spectators. The gun had burst at a point three or four feet from the breech, and scattered death and destruction all around.' The lower part of the gun, from the trunnions to the breech, was blown off. Secretary Upshur was badly cut over the eye and in his legs, and expired in a very few minutes. Mr. Gilmer of Virginia. under whose offi- $ cial direction, as Secretary of the Navy, the power of this great gun was tested was likewise mortally wounded and soon breathed his last. Mr. Maxey had his arms and one of his legs cut off. Mr. Gardiner of New York the future father-in-law of President Tyler- and Commodore Kennon died in about half an hour. About a dozen sailors were badly wounded; one was dead, and behind him. Col. Benton, Judge Phelps, and Mr. Strickland, as if dead, were extended on the deck. Mr. Tyson of Philadelphia, near by, was unhurt, although a piece of the gun bad passed through his hat aiout two inches from his skull. Preside?! Tyler escaped by a close margin, he having been called back from where he stood just a moment before. Col. Thomas Hart Benton, author of "My Thirty Years is the Senate," the father-in-law of Cen. Fremont, and one of the most nn-vr-d men of the old regime, gives an ijcrCitirs account of his own experience at the time of the explosion. Aa.wg other things, he says: , "Lieut. Hunt caused the gun to be worked, to show the ease and precision with which her direction could be changed, and then pointed down the river to make the Are, himself and tha gunners standing near the breach a the right.

Wh hen soft poultry food is thrown tn the ground or even on a board, it h quickly trampled and befouled so hat it is unfit to eat. Especially is jhis true in a wet, muddy time. To be 1"ure, it may be placed in a shallow an or trough, but even this does not fcelp the matter any. What Is wanted. j iather, is a - covered pan or trough f fo constructed that it will permit the poultry to obtain the food -and at the t THATf.tl HADK OF IIS. ame time keep 'them ont of It with jueir ieei. - ' 'For smalt chicks snake a double trough of tia, such as is shown In Fig. LvHave it from two tee up -to any length desired,- and six. Inches wide, each hall being three Inches wide and I'i Inches deep, with square ends toldered on. Tin gives the best aatisiaction, as it can be - easily . washed nd kept clean. ". IMake a box such as Is shown In Fig. 2. nd set the trough inside of it. Have this box, insme, or a length ana wiatn to correspond with the size of the trough, and let" it be at least a foot high at the eaves. It will take some work, of course, to construct the oval roof, but by rounding the end boards. or "peaks," and taking a thin but tough piece of board of the requisite size and steaming it, and then nailing it on se curely, no serious difficulties will be experienced. Have this part hinged and fastened with a hook, as is shown. Each side should be open and fitted with wire bars placed two inches apart, eachaend of these wires being bent at right angles, driven through the strips of wood and clinched. To insert the BOX rOR THK TROUGH. food, simply raise the upper portion or ,-sot part, the semi-rotundity of which prevents the fowls from roosting on it. Thus the poultry cannot get at the food with their feet to pollute it. and. at the same time, it is safe from any stray animals that may come alon such as cats and dogs, for which it it not intended. Pullet Uftn. There is no doubt that pullets are much more profitable as layers than old fowls. It Is of ten wise to keep old hens be cause of their good qualities as breed ing stock, when they are fine in color, shape, size, etc. but" they are hardly ever profitable from the standpoint of the egg basket for market purposes. It is often wen, also, to keep some matronly old "biddies" that are relia ble as mothers for chicks, for the pul lets are apt to be "young and thoughtless," and will have a disposition to neglect maternal duties; but as layers simply, a pen of pullets is not very far from twice as productive aa the same number of old hens, and on the farm where egg production Is sought for, nc hen should be kept longer than two years unless for some , other reason than her egg production. Another point in connection with egg produc tion should also be borne frr mind, and that is - that only winter production pays; The time may; come, as it ap pears to be coming in dairying, when the prices for winter and summer will be mora nearly equalized, tait tost now it is the"- winter g; tha 'bring a price, while the-summr egg Goes not repay the coat of prod action; even though the cost of prodsUon b sum mer be amalL - Obserraisce of these two points pullets as layers, ad more attention to winter produeXon-win go far to make egg production profitable.

31 UK PER WILTi OUT. The more clvllixed a nation becomes the more careful the newly-married couples are to bide their happiness from the public gaie." So said an experienced married man whose hotel on upper Broadway is one of the best known in the country. "And yet," he continued, "how foolishly they go about it. They might Just aa well brand themselves the way they do in Central Africa, where the j bride knocks out all her teeth directly t she is married, and otherwise assumes markes of distinctions which cannot be mistaken. "Before 1 went into the hotel business," be went on, "I married. All though I was young. I looked oldet than my age, and determined I

wouldn't be taken for a newly-married person. My wife and I talked it over before we left the house for the train, for we were not strong-minded enough to be sensible and stay at home; and we agreed upon just what we would do. She was to avoid the traditional gray, in which ail brides attire themselves. She was to banish that trustful cliugingness from her face; and, when I went out of the car to have a smoke, or take a drink of water, she w-as to refrain from following me with her eyes; and, above all things, she was to keep her hands off me. It was decided that I was to leave the car frequently and go into the smoking-room. We had both observed that this was the way old married folks conducted themselves; and, to avert suspicion, these rules were carefully considered and unanimously adopted, f "So far, so good. After the wedding ceremony we were driven to the depot, where I had engaged a section in a parlor car. We were married in the morning. . We reached the depot half aa hour before the train started. We had. just got nicely settled, and were congratulating ourselves upon having made a good beginning, when who should come in out four of my aaoet intimate bachelor friends, who knew of my Intended departure, and called to bid us good-bye. This waa annoying, for the car was getting pretty well filled up. I sat in one seat reading the morning paper and Mrs. Smith sat in the other glancing over a book. The young men broke in on our meditatiaus like a private cyclone. "'Well!' shouted one of them, with a well-intended, but unfortunate facetiousness. 'This is a pretty how-do-you-do! One would think, from looking at you, that you were an old-married pair, instead of a bride and groom just starting out on your wedding trip.' "I don't know how I managed to drag them out of the car to the platform, but I did so; and in a few minutes the train started off. Of course, that spoiled our plan so far as this part of the trip was concerned. Our first stopping-place was New York. We were married in Cincinnati. We went direct to the old St. Nicholas, which was then the fashionable hotel of the city. There we stayed three weeks, and during that time we pursued our plan with immense success. Every one was deceived. One day I found my wife in tears. "'Oh, George!' said she. "'What! said I. 'What can have happened?' " 'I g-g-o-t a letter from m-m-mam-ma." " 'Well, said I, 'nothing serious has happened? " 'N-n-o! she sobbed. "'Then, calm yourself, my dear, and tell me ail about it.' "She was unable to do so, "but handed me the letter to read. As nearly as I can recollect it ran as follows: " 'Darling Margaret: j'iiave just got a letter from Cousin Frank. He has been stoppiug at your hotel for a few days; and he writes that he fears your marriage is unhappy. He says he never saw such a brute as George is; he ill-treats you horribly in public; and he thinks t!t you look the perfect picture of misery. If this is so, come home to your mother at once. Don't delay for an hour. We will love you just the same. We always suspected that Mr. Smith a as a wretch. You recollect what your brother said about him, aud how we all warned you: but it is now too late." etc., etc. "It made me laugh in spite of the incidents connected with my court ship which it revealed. The laugh seemed to jar against my wife's tender feelings, though; and I was obliged to argued with her zor an hour or so be fore she could see the humorous side of the affair. Finally she composed herself, and wrote a long letter to her mother, explaining matters. W left New York that week for Washington, and registered at the Biggs House. By this time we considered ourselves old married folks, and had, in a measure, become more selfposja eased in public We were never taken for a bride and groom, and flattered ourselves that no one could have detected the newness of our relationship. After we had been at the hotel for about a fortnight we noticed the arrival of a large number of new vmarried conples. Perhaps there were no more man usual, but we noticed them more than we would now. One day, at dinner, after I bad just tipped our old waiter to procure me an extra nice cut of meat, I leaned back in my chair and said to my wife. "There appear to be a lot of brides and grooms in town just now.' 'Yes, she replied; and don't thev act silly? " 'Of course they do.' I replied, with a Knowing iook ai ner, as I raised mv voice a little louder. 'But It was onlv to be expected. You can't find newlymarried couples who know how to behave sensibly. "'Yes, sir, that's very true, Inter posed the waiter, with a freedom which too frequently accompanies indul gence; 'yes. sir, you're right very few newly-married couples, sir, behave aa sensibly as you do!
