We hit the bull's eyeOf the bargsiin'tirget with our prices It's one thing toquote a price in this line of goods that sounds cheap tothecar, but disappoints the tongue or palate. Anygrocercan do that. A cheap sounding price does, not mean abargain price, the tongue and palate are the referees todecide the question. .They say.we hit the bargain targetin the center, because every price has quality for a backer.

X RAYS ON THE HEART.

A. rkyalclaa-a Mew Hods of 8tudyln» «ka*O

Whllo Tlewlng tho peotorol regionthrough the fluoroacopo 4U\i obwrvlug thoahado\v- of. tho': heart; a' method: of; nearlyaccurate oatlmatlon of, ita Blie, norwol orabnormal, occurred to me. Putting themothod Instantly In practice, I marked oatwhat should bo tho normaVcontoUrof theheart on the • anterior snrtace 6{ 'the chostn i l Then I bent o • copper-wlro In tho•hape ol tho tracing and afflzed.lt on thiswith adhesive plaster. Having tho patientfacuig the Crookes tube, I looked throughthe fluoroBoopo from behind betwuea, the•plno and tlio scapula, when I plainly sawthe wire outlining tho shadow of tho heart.It may be wondered how tho heart can bo•eon when tho «olt parta ore said to bopcnotrnblo by the rays, but the differentdegrees of penetrability, according to thedensity of tho tissues, enable ono to do so.Yet It may bo necessary to proceed in aoortaln way, as at a high power the Xrays seem to dissolve everything, evenbone and iron.. '

Using as a gonciator either a powerful•tetto maehlno or an lnduotion coll of atleast 8 Boconda spark, you let your machinework, so as'to produce tho strbngeafe. X-taysotyonr oCjnmarji], when you may seeonly tho scapula, tho ribs, the loft part ofthe spine, or tho • stemuiQi not to' forgetT-plainest of all—joorwiro in front. Hav-ing familiarized yourself with yonr IaniBcnpc, yon now vory gradually reduoo: thebrightness of the X rafs—in tho case of •statlo maehlno by reducing, tho speed—and you will observo tho shadow ot theheart extending within or outsldo yourwin. Sometimes you can see a thinnerand larger' Bhadow superimposed on a•mailer and thicker one, the former repre-senting the heart In diastole and too lattertho samo In systole. ABgonerally the, leftlino of the heart is all wo look O k It maybe sufflclent for the bosy pract-WJnor toafux an almost straight wlro, eitondln'ufrom tho third to tho sixth Tib, at a properdlstaooe from the left eternal1 border. <r

Naturally you may fail to BOO tho heartnnleas you locate your, fluoroecope oppositetho organ, which I roughly estimate bymarking oft a spot to the left of tho iplne.opposite the fonrth intercostal, spaoo Infront. On this mark I oenter the flnoro-Mope. Obvious optical reasons raako Itpreferohle to look from behind rather thanfrom thoonterlor dspoot. I think the read-ers easily will understand my method andfind it vastly superior to percussion to giV-lng positive Information. Other organs, utho spleen and tlo kidneys, aro probablyosplorablo in tho same manner, and lu-itendof using thei fluorosoopo pictures maybo taken, but tho nooessarlly longer oxpO-suro to tho X rays may produce a burn.—Medical Bocord.A Katlonnl Sonc Written Under Hot f i n ,

"Tho Star Spangled Banner" was writ-ten by Franols Scott Key at tho time of thoattack on Fort McHenry, nrndo by Ad-miral Cockburn on Sept. 10, 1814. Keywas held as a prisoner In a llttlo boatmoored to tho cbminnnder's vessel.Through tho wbolo day and night, exposedto tho flro from the shore, Key watchedtho flagon tho fort, and at tho break ofdny on the Hth BOW it was still waving—"OUT flog was still.there." Thon, takingan old letter from his pocket, ho rested iton a barrel hood, and ot fever heat wrotetho pooin which ho called "Tho Doloruoof irort MoHenry,"—William Georgo Jor-dan In Ladles'Home Journal.

Even tbe Greaophiles are wearying atthe obstinacy of tho Hellenes Bnd are dis-gusted with the parfldy of tho Greek com-modore, Bolnook, slnco rocallod, who, itnow appears, assumed the responsibility ofsuppressing the joint remonstrance of Eu-rope, which ho had undertaken to makeknown to tho 'Insurgent cblofs.

THE IRON ERA, DOVER. N. J., MARCH 12, 1897.PORT MORRIS.

I was very agreeably Burprfsed to findGeorge £. Long aud CharleB Lewis sitting upand able to get down stairs. The doctor hasforbidden outdoor exercise to either of themjust yet. But they are getting along a gooddeal better than I expected they would thelast time I saw them.

There is really no newi of consequence intown this week.

All Is quiet along the raging canal as faras I know.

They tell me the Lake End Hotel, at Ho*patcong, has changed hands and that the newproprietors intend to enlarge it considerably.This li only gossip, however. I give it to youfor what it is worth and you may salt it totaste.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beeclier died just tenyears to a day after her celebrated preacherhusband. She married Mr. Beeclier directlyafter ha graduated and went with him outwest, where he used to preach on Sunday andcapture driftwood ou the Ohio river and cutit up on the other days of the week. It seemsto me I have read in the New York Ledger,In Mr. Beochcr's lifo time, written by him-self, how some judge out there used to giveMr. Beecher his cast off clothiug, and bow belooked something like the famous paper oftobacco in a sack, of which we read. Howhe moved to Brooklyn three years later andmade Plymouth Church and himself famouswherever the English language was apukun,and In a good many places where it was not.But the girl who married him when he waswhat, without intending to be irreverent, Imay call an apprenticed preacher, for bettor,for worse, rose with him. " They lived andloved together, through many a changingyear." And when the great trial of liia lifecame and they tried to tear from his browthe crown which h» had speiit the best yearsof hi* life in weaving, she, who knew himbetter than anybody else, never deserted himor doubted him for a moment. Perhaps sheBald to him often as Curran'B daughter is saidto have said to Bobert Emmett:"Thou fasBt called me thine angel In mo-

menta of bliss,

And thine angel I'll be 'mid the horrors of tbls,Through tho furnace unshrinking tliyBteps to

pursue,And shield thee and sav« tbee or pariih there

too."How many of us cau look bock and thank

God that the girls who thought enough of usin youth to link their fate with ours, havestayed by us through avll report and goodreport.How

1' W« have ihared each other's gladnessAnd wiped each others tears."

How11 W» bave clamb the hill thegftherAnd must s'eep together at the foot."

Not every man may attain to the eminenceof Henry Ward Beecher nor every woman tothe prominence of his wife, but

" Lives of great mon all remind usWe may make our lives sublime,

And departing leave behind us.Footprints In th« sands of time.'* *

" BlesMd are the dead who die in the Lord,for they rest from their labors and theirworks do follow them."

And O what works do follow the BeecherslApropos of nothing in particular, it is told

that Edmund Burke, whose eloquence do-lighted the world in his day and generation,and makes pretty fall' reading yet, had abrother Michael who was in Parliament atthe same time with his eminent brother.One day one of the members found Mike in abrown study and slapping him on the shoul-der, Mid:, " Hollo MIko, whatareyouatudyingabout;"

" I was thinking," said Mike, "how Ed-mund carnn to absorb all the talents of thefamily."

No doubt that worried him as much an thestory cf Jonah and the whale bothers DoctorAbbott and Bob IngersoU.

"There are more things in heaven and earthHoratio, than are dreamt of in our philoso-phy."

There is a story in the air about a certainmarried woman In this town whose husband'ssister is staying with her at present Theother afternoon the girl went out with ordersto be back at 5 o'clock so as to get tea; sheWAS a few minutes lat* and her sister-in-lawboxed her ears when Bhe came horns andwanted her to understand her servant* mustobey orders) Hear, O Heaven, and be aston-ished, O earth! Look out for us I We arecoming. Port Morris 1B a great town, truly.

Two Stanhope ladies were driviugolong theroad between the Baptist Church at Ledge-wood and Mr. Carey's house on Monday after-noon. . There is room enough on that particu-lar part of the public highway for three teanuto pass, but just there some fellow tried topast them and ran into them, and instead ofstopping, when he saw the mischief be haddone, to apologize for his awkwardness, heurged bis horse on until he got down to King'sstore and then drove down toward Kenvil inorder to avoid the ladies, but they found outthat his name was "Ike11 Thorp; and lestthere should be another "Ike" Tharp in thewoods there somewhere, he Is the "Ike" Tharpthat married Pete Davis's daughter, Now, Itwas well for the ladies that their wagon hadgot a pew set of wheels a short time ago. AsIt was, one of the new wheels was broken butit broken but it brought them home safely."Ike0 had better learn how to drive next timebe goes out rldtng* or hire somebody thatknows how.

Our Frank Flowers was elected Assessor ofBoxbury township and "Al" Crandall andCharles Shlmer were elected Justices of thoPeaoe.

Mr. Crandall is one of our best citizens andsolid withal. If this town ever gets incorpa-rated, like Ketcong, for instance, accordingto all the proprieties Mr. Crandall must be(he Arse Mayor, if he <* a Democrat Mr.Shinier is a Republican. I am glad to seethat the time has come when a Republicancan be elected in Boxbury township.

Then were five tickets ia the field in Stan-hope,; which is In the township of Byram, andcounty cf Sussex, and the Democratic ticketcarried the township by storm, and John D.Coorrtn is Collector; E. O. Valentino, AMOS-SOT; Town Committee, Theodore Conn; Commlaslonerof Appeal, William Ingram; Bur*Teyors of Highways, Mahlon Woodruff andDolwn Sickles;

Over in Netcosg James T. CHft was electedMayor without opposition. I have no doubtMr. CHft will m»ke a first-class Mayor, butlet we remind him of the reason why GeneralGrant wanted to be Mayor of Galena beforebe became famous, i. e., so he might fix theroad* from the town to the depot Mr. Clifthas a pretty good sited contract ahead of himbut be will be equal to It, I reckon..

It Is said George Burtt is an applicant forthe post office in this town. I don't knowabout It, but if he Is he ought to have it. Eeis one of the veterans who fought for UncleBam. He has always been a Republican andIs besides a genial, good fellow, who bag fewerenemies than any other man In town. By allmeans, If we a n to have a new man, let Geo.Burtt be-post muter at Port Morris.

Manager David Young's Report De-

s igned to Prevent Competition in

Document Remarkable

Chiefly for I ts Crudi ty .

It wai the expected that happened when onMonday uight Manager David Young, of theDover Electric Light Company, in his capac-ity as chairman of the fire and lamps commit-tee of the City Council, put au embargo(temporarily) upon the gas project by pre-senting an adverse report on tho applicationof tho Dover Gas, Light, Heat and PowerCompany for perintesion to lay gas mains inthe streets of this city. Tho report, as con-cocted, deals with much that is altogetherbeside the question, and ignores altogetherthe important fact that there has sprung upin this city, outaido of electric light circles,on almost unanimous sentiment in favor ofthe Introduction of gas, as affording a meansof escape from the almost intolerable burdenof the oleetric light monopoly. The reportfollows in full.To the Mayor and City Council of Dover:

GENTLEMEN:— Tlw committee Co whom was re-ferred the application of the Dover Light, Heatand Power Company for permission to lay theirgas mains ID the streets, alleys and public groundsof tho City of Dover, have ulven lite matter dueconsideration.

The committee has been 03 prompt in maltingits investigations and subinUtlae its conclusionsfor the consideration ot the Council, as the timeat its disposal and the importance of the questionwould permit.

Mr. Frltchman, of the KM company, advised usto visit the towns of Rutherford, Plalnfleld, MountHolly and Woodbury, N. J., and Bay Sbore, L. I.,believing we would there bo able to see the Lowe

lem of water gas manufacture In operation,the Lowe being the system it was proposed to in-troduce In Dover, We visited all these towns andfor the courtesy sbDwn and information glvvu u»we are greatly Indebted to the manager* and em-ployees of the different planta and OIBO to theircustomers.

From the knowledge gathered from the stand-point of both users and producers of gas, we thinkwo are able to form a fair judgment of the valueof the proposed gas plant to the City of Dover andita promoters, and this, we believe, is the onlypoint of view from which we, as a committee, arecalled upoo to form an opinion.

Each of the towns visited have both gas andelectric lighting systems but at Plainfield andWoodbury the gai and electric light companiesbave consolidated. At the first mentioned placethe ruling rats for gas Is $$ per thousand cubicfeet and at the latter 41.00, with ten cents rebatefor prompt payment. Bay Shore charges S3 perthousand, but we would mention In passing thatthis town is mostly a Bummer resort and, hariofcbut little business in winter, Is compelled to "makehay while the sun shines" during the short sum-mer season.

Rutherford and Mount Holly's gas rate* are 11.50per thousand feet, though the former town liucuitomers (large mere) as low as 91.15. The re-ceipts for gas in this town run aa high as f l,"00per month.

In towns of the elze of Dover the g u companiesrun their plant* with one man at the works andone- man to do the collecting and clerical work.At onv of the plants visited we were permitted toinspect the books of the company and ascertainedthe actual coat of the manufactured gas, Includ-ing wages, to run from 48 to 53 cents per 1,000cubic feet, according to season; making to. aver-age coat of B0 cents per thousand feet.

At one oC the other plants the foreman put astill loner figure as the cost of gas. There hasbeen coniiderable stress made by ttie promoters ofthis proposed plant upon the feature of economicalheating of stares and dwellings by ga& Upon thispoint we made diligent inquiry but failed to find•Ingle instance la either of the towns visited whereany penon had availed himself of thU manner ofheating, and different managers assured us thatthe coat of gas m&de It prohibitory.

One manager, where the price of gas was $1.60per thousand, stated that he heated a bath roomat a cost of £4 cents per day.

At the last gas exposition In New Yorlc the com-mittee went Into the question of heating of dwel-lings with teas stores and found that the cost wouldabsolutely put It out of the reach of W in 100 ofour citizens. -

das is used to a considerable extent in the sum-mer time for cooking purposes and in a more lim-ited way for taking the chill off rooms In springand fall. At proposed prices w« do not think Itcan bo used la a more general manner tlian abovestated.

It is contended that the gas company should beaccorded the franchiseaskedfor on account of thelabor It would employ.

This Is entitled to consideration. Our Inquirieshave convinced us that the permanent labor couldIn all probability bo performed by two men. Morehelp would be superfluous, while the temporaryemployment oC Imported cheap labor, etc., wouldnot reach proportions warranting the free gift bythe Mayor and Council of a franchise as valuableasthf onopetltloned for.

The buildings required are neither extensive norexpensive, as no great amount of monty would boBpent In the city from that source.

There seems to be a wide margin between thecoat of manufacture and the price proposed to becbargedto the public for the use OCKM, leaving s>generous profit to tbe company If * reasonableamount of business can bo secured. Bo far u wecould ascertain, only 8 shares of the capital stockot tbe proposed 800 Is held by cltlzsns ot Dover andHome, if not oil of these shares were practicallygiven to tli 3 holders and were probably only sodisposed of here to comply with th» law requiringthat a certain number of stockholders and direct-ors should bs residents ot llio city granting thefranchise. The company Is therefore essentially aforeign corporation whose Interest In the city isobviously limited to the profit to bo mule out of 11and the proflt when so Becured, unlike » homo In-stitution, will not bo retained hero by paying divi-dends to the citizens ot Dover, but will badistribjuted to stockholders In another State. • <

Mualclpxlitiesare fait awakening to a realizingsanse of the value of tbe f htnehtesa remaining latheir possession and ln.minr Instances, sifter find-ing themselves badly bitten through free and easygifts of these- money miking privileges, ore en-deavoring to regain, by condemnation proceeding*or hy purchase, those which have slipped throughtheir fingers.

Dover would do well to proflt by her own andother cities' experiences in tbls line.

As we are situated taxation Is, In tho main, ouronly way of obtaining tho money for tho paymentof the necessary expenses of the city government,therefore, when possible, franchises should bemade to reduce the burden,

In our opinion the Council will foil In ita duty tothe public and ahowa woeful lack of business senseif it dots not require some consideration in ex-change for the franchise petitioned for.

Our conclusion and recommendation is that per-mission be granted tl» ."Dover Light, Heat andPower Co." to lay Ita mains In the streets and pub-lic grounds ot tbo City of Dover with proper andreasonable rootlctlons upt)n their manner of exor-clftlng tha prlvliflgfl printed and upon the paymentby them to the city treasury ef tho sum of 110,000.

DAVID YOUKQ, ')JOHN SPJROD, JR., J- Committee.

. CnAS. H. WMTEQBUD, JTbe report waa received without comment,

and later in the course of the evening's pro*ceedlngs, City Clerk Baker waa directed tonotify tbo Dover Gas Light, Heat and Power.Company of tho terms on which a franchisewould be grantrd. Engineer William' H.Fritcbmon, who was an interested listenerwhile the report was being read, said, that hewould ct a future meeting address the Coun-cil on the subject of the report.

Another project which received a temporary set back at Monday night's meeting ofthe City Council was the proposed alterationand enlargement of the north school house.The following letter explains tho situation;

To the City Council of Dover:GKNTLKIISM:—Herewith plc&su find a communi-

cation from the Board of Education containing aresolution of said board adopted,at an official

ting March a,1007, asking that the question ofIssuing bonds to tbe amount of f 30,000 for thepurpose of rebuilding and enlarging, ventilating,heating and furnishing tbe public Bchool buildingsituated on tbe corner of. Sussex and Me Parianstreets, ha submitted to the voters of thft city atthe annual election to be held April 19, 1607, fortheir approval or rejection.

I realize fully the need of greater school facili-ties, and would, under ordinary circumstances,gladly recommend that your honorable body takethe necessary steps to submit the quustion to thevoters of tho city as requested; but confronted aawe are with tbe water question, which must neces-sarily be settled ; and restricted as we are In the

iunt to which we may Issue tbe corporatebonds of our city, it seems to me unwlaa to takesuch action at present as can lu any way jeopar-dize the contemplated city water works.

Six per cent, of our taxable property at tbepresent rate of assessment Is, In my opinion, in-adequate to cover tlie cost of the water trorkBneeded, and tho 930,000 asked for by the Board ofEducation. And, BS we have already a conimlt-

looktng ufter tbe water supply, to whose useS500 was appropriated at tbe last meeting of the.Council; and, as favorable legislation is expectedconcerning tie water works, I suggest that theschool question be for the present deferred untileuch time an the water supply Is settled wljun Itcan be brought up at a special election held forthat purpose.

1 very much regret that I can not BOS my wayclearly through the unfavorable circumstances, to-accede to the request ot our faithful Board of Ed-ucation. Respectfully submitted,

F. V. WOLFE, Mayor.The ordinance commltteo presented four

amendments to the recently adopted fire ordi-nance. The first amendment amends section2 and provides for tho election of the chiefand first and second assistant chief engineersof tho flro department. Section 41 is amendedby substituting tbo word racing for running,so that lire companies may run, but not race,in returaingfrom flrea, Section40, aa amend-ed, permits l;be firemen to visit tbe enginehouse ou Sunday, but not to play games orfor any other form of amusement, Section54, OB amended, makes the second Wednesdayof September, at 2 o'clock p. m., the time forholding the annnal inspection. Tbo amend-ments wore read "for information" and willcomo up for final action at the next meeting*of the Council.

Food attracted to any part ofthe body by exercise gives vigor to that part.Food, no matter how nutritious it may be inits elements, is not BO easily drawn Jnto theorganic life of the Bystem, or assimilatedunless muscular activity Is going on. Muchof the best food, cot being assimilated, Is loator wasted. So says Di*. Seneca Egbert. Tryan hour or two a week in the gymnasium andsee how much better you will feeL

TERMS OP SUBSCRIPTION INVAR1ABLY IN ADVANCE.

One Y e a r ..*2.OCSix Month* 1.0Three Months IV

A Report Full ofGuIlo.On page 3 of tbe EHA, will be found tbo re-

port of the Fire and Lamps Committee onthe application of the Dover Gas, Light, Heatand Power Company for permission to laygas mains in the stroets of this city. Tbe re-port will not commend itself to tbe people oDover for Ha honesty, its plain intent beinto bar out competition in publia and prlvatflighting In tbe interest of tbe Dover ElectricLight Company, which company now basmonopoly of lighting. Tho report in questioiis remarkable chiefly for its hypocritical pntensions and for its contradictions. Tbe com-mittee state that they have learned thatwater gas can be manufactured for from 4to 62 cents per thousand cubic feet. Tot, IItbe Dover Gas, Light, Heat and Power Comrany should be willing to pay to the citylump sum of $10,000, "to reduce the burden oitaxation, "the committee is willing thatfranchise be granted giving the Dover Gas,Light, Feat and Power Company tbe rightto charge the peoplo of Dover, for all time,81.60 net for gas costing that company onl,an average of 60 cents. Tho hypocrisy of thecommittee's conclusion Is too apparent toneed further comment. Doubtless, if thcommittee had supposed for one momentthatthe lum of $10,000 would be paid for a fran-chise, tbe ante would have been raised t120,000, or any other sum high enough 1keep out a prospective competitor. That 1member of the City Council should mo hisodiciol position to advance tho Interests ofcorporation of which ho is an employee, Iinot a stockholder, is a wrong which tho com-munity will have to put up with—for a time,at least.

In tho report stress is laid upon tho lowprice at which gas cau ho made and then thstatement is made that tbe committee "i'to find a single instance in either 01the towns visited where anyono hatavailed himself of this manner 4heating (by gas), and different manage:assured us that the cost of gai would make Iprohibitory," This is blowing both hot andcold with a vengeance. What wonderfulfellows these managers must be, to producegas at a figure BO remarkably low, and tbeiput a price on it shutting them out of solarge a field as gas heating would afford.But In the next paragraph but one the re-port states that "gas is used to a considerablextent in the summer for cooking purposes,and, In a moro limited way, for taking thechill off roomB in the spring or fall." Exactlythis is just what a good many of the goopeople of Dover want gas for; for cooklnpurposes in summer, and to take tho chill offroomB ia spring or fall. But it seems thatlimited number of people, holders of electric

- light stock, don't Intend that they shall enjoythese Kmrealencesbecam?, forsooth I shoulda competing company come in, their profitsmight diminish to the gain of the community.

The report concerns itself with much tfaa" la beside the question, the very evident in

tent being to befog the public mind as to threal question at issue. We have now au elec-tric lighting monopoly, whose exactions

. none the less burdensome by reason of itsbeing a local concern, and the introductionof gas promises to afford an avenue of escape.Bhall the people of this city have the oppor-tunity of availing themselves of this, and,incidentally, enjoy modern convenience iwhich the electric lighting company does noiand cannot afford ? That is the questionIssue. With gas Introduced in Dover thipeople of Dover would aavo in the first haldozen Tears more than the $10,000 demandedby ths committee in reduced cost of Illumination,

T H I Elizabeth Journal says: The generalsentiment is opposed to the bill recently in-troduced in the legislature to place the StateAsylums at Trenton and Morris Plains underseparate management. Xhsse institutions ainow under the management of a single boardand as their objects, purposes, intents andslms or* identical in every respect, there doesHot appear to ba any logical reason why theyihould be separated. As well put the schoolo( North Jersey and the schools of South

. Jersey under separate State Boards of Edu-cation, each with a different State Superin-tendent, For ninny years thtso Btato bos-

, pitals were separate, and then it became evi-dent that they should be placed under thesame management) in order that each mightbe helpful to the other, instead of beingrivals. Tho present management is madenon-partisan by law, aa it ought to be, andthis has served to eliminate many thingswhich had become moro or less scandalous inthe publia mind. A doable-headed manage-ment might not revive those scandals, but iis difficult to see in what way it is going tobe of advantage to the State hospitals.

A BIPOBT to the effect that Lewis RBunkle, for thirty years editor of the Huti-ttrdon County Democrat, will retire fromjournalism on April 1, leads the Sussex Regis-ter to remark: "If thl3 Is no April fool jokeit Is a loss tbe fraternity can ill bear, antcreates a feeling within us that we, too, arton the down Blope of life; but it isn't probabkthat Banlde has a fortune to retire on; nonewspaper roan ever had that luck.1*

Wildes' Salary Hill.

Mr. Wildes scored quite a victory in thoIIOUBO Holiday night In getting his salaryreduction bill on tbo calendar. This Istho moasuro which providos for tlio reduc-tion of tho Ealary of every stato officialono-hnlf, provide1 no salary'EIKIII bo ro-ducotl below §2,500, nnd exempting thopresent governor, eupromo court justicesand chancellor, but not their Buoccssors.16 was reported ntivorsoly by n majority oftho commltteo on judioinry, but Sir. Ua?-ton of tho comraltteo put fn a minority ro-port favorftblo to tho bill, nnd thoso tworopcrts gavoriso to n livoly discussion.Mr. Wildes him self led in (in attack on thomajority report, saying it was preparedby tlio four lawyer members of tho com-inlttco, who represontod tlioir own profes-sion, and that was all. They did notBpcak for the great massoa of tho pooplo,who viewed "with disfavor thooxtrnvngancoIn our salary list. Tlio bill was too im-portant to bo thus hastily disposed of. Itdeserved tho decency of a placo on tho cnl-ond or, vrhoro its merits could be fully andfairly discussed by the wholo house

Mr. Lloyd, chairman of tho committee,advocntou" tho majority report on thoRround that the proposed reduction of sal*aries is unconstitutional and Umt corapo-tent official a cannot bo secured for lessmoney than is now paid. Ho held Minttho homo ought to accept tho judgmoot ofIts committee, whlah bad given tho bill afull consideration. , , „

Tho fight an tho bill will bo ronowedvrhon it comas up on final passage. I t lathought that it may pass tho house, but ifIt does tho senate will defeat it either di-rectly or through inaction. "*•' *

It appears by last week's pipers the peopleof Lower Ironia have highly offended a veryfew of our friends in Upper Ironia. and theykindly advise us through the press "If wdesire to witness that kind of performance tlwould bB woll to hire, a building ncarehomo." Wo make no distinction of people ocreed and havo always welcomed andBhallcontinue to do so any that come to tho chnpeland preach tho word of God, and we cannotdiscriminate between tho Y. M. C. A.and tbo Volunteers, for in our opinlo:they both work for the samo Master. Whave not the remotest idea of hiring or usinany buUdlng except tho one already providefor us, and our reason is this: tho chapel waierected with money raised by public subsoription and was to bo used as a "UnionChapel," and tbo ground on which it standswas donated.

A COYOTE PARTNERSHIP.

U Ueans Death to the Antelope and a,Meal For tue Wolres.

Tho prong horned antclopo Js the swift-est unlmal on tho plains, and yet tbo cor-otos catch n good inuny of them just byruuning them down. This sounds liko aparadox, yet it is quite truo aud is ex-plained by tho cunning of tho wolves andthe habits of tho untclope.

A single coyote that undertook to runflown a 6inelo untelopo would get Jred andhungry before ho accomplished much, butwhen two or threo coyotea are together itis quite a different thing. Tho coyotes donot all run after the antclopo together;they toko turns, aud while one runs theothers rest, and so at last they tire tho an-tolopo out.

If when It was started the antelope ranstraight nwoy, It would of coimo leavo alltho wolves behind, those that Tvoro restingeven more- than the one that was chasingit, ljut the antelope does not run straight,away. Instead it runs in large circles, andthis enables the wolves to toko turns whenchasing It,

When three- or four pralrio wolves do-oldo that tlioy want antelope meat forbreakfast, ono of them urucpe us closo aspossible to tlio one they havo selected andthen wakes a rush for it, running as faBbas bo possibly can so as to pueh tho ante-lope to his best speed and to tire it out.Meantime his companions spread out oneither side of the runner and got upon lit-tle hills or knolls m as to keep the chasein eight. They troc from point to point,and pretty soon, when tho antclopo turnsand begins to work baok toward ono ofthem, this one tries to get as nearly as poB-slblo in Its path, aud as it fllco by the wolfdosies out at it and runs nftor it at thotop of its Bpeed, -whllo tho ono tnat hadboon chasing tho antelope stopB runningand trots oft to soino nearby hill, where,while tho water drips off his lolling tongue,he watches tho race and gets his breathagain. After a little the antelopo passesnear another coyote, which lu turn takesup the pursuit. And so the ohaeo is kopfcup until tho poor antelopo is exhausted,When it is overtaken and pulled down byono or moro of the hungry brutes. Ofcourse the ooyotes do not catoh every ante*lope they start. Sometimes tho game runsBuoh a oourso that it does not pass nearany of tho waiting wolves, ana only thoono that starts it has any running to do.In Buoh a cuso the pursuit is at once aban-doned. Sometimes the nntclopo is so Btoutand strong that It tires out all its pursu-ers.

It Is a common thing for a ooyoto tochase an old doe, with her kids, just afterthe little ones have begun to run about.At that timo they ore very Bwlft for shortdistances, but have not the strength tostand u long ohaso. In such a cuso a moth-er will often stay behind her young andwill try to fight oft the coyote, butting*him with lior head and striking him wltLher fore feet. He puys little attention toher, except to snnp at her, and keeps onafter the kids. Several times I have soen amother antelope lead her little ones intothe midst of a bod of cactus, wbero thewolf could not go without getting his footfull of thorns, If the bed is small, thowolf will make ferocious dnshes up to ttaborder, trying to frighten tho little ones sothat they will run out on tho other sideand he can start after 61ieni again, butusually tho mother has no trouble in hold-ing them.—George Bird Grinuoll lp Forefctand Stream.

Attention to tho Feet.It is utterly impossible to got well OF

keep well unless tho feet oro kept dry andwarm all the time. If they aro for. themost part cold, there is cough, or sorethroat, or hoarseness, or sick headache, orsomo .other annoyanco;

If oold and dry, too feet should be soakodin hot water for ten minutes every night,and when wiped and dried rub into themwell 10 or IS drops of sweet oil.

THE RICHEST PRINCE.

A Little Storj From the Beoardi of theMiddle Ages.

Tho richest prince Is not always he thatreigns over the most extenslvo and popu-lous empiro, with tho largest and tho mostprosperous cities, and the best filled treas-ure house.

Baok in the middle ages there reigned aprince, called Eberliard tho Good, who wasn grand old man, just, wiBO and truo, andhis littlo principality was the envied cor-ner of Europe, for though ho was only ngrand duke, ho ruled so Justly and wellthat his subjects wore happy, and they ailloved him as a father.

There was a feast one day at the city ofWorms, and all tho German princes weredrinking wine at the banquot table, whena dispute arose as to wbloh of them wasthe rlohest and most prosperous.

Prince Ernest of Saxony boasted of broaddomains, brimming with gold and silvermines, and his great palace filled withgolden treasure.

"I am richer than he," said the ElectorFrederlok of tho Bhlno. "From ray grandcastle at Heidelberg I can look over leaguesana leagues of hillsides coveted wltb vine-yards and valloys rioh with golden grain-fields."

King Louis of Bavaria claimed tho palmof sovereignty "because," ho said, "pros-perous olties and rich old cloisters, filledwith works ot art, are greater treasuresthan gold or silver mines, vineyards orripened gralnflolds."

Then they all looked at the old lord ofWurttemborg, whoso hair and beard werewhite, QB the snow on Alpine peaks, andwhose bine eyes were slilnlugwitlia smile.

"I havo littlo to boast of," he said meek-ly. "There are but few cities in Wurttom-berg, and no silver mines, no famous vine-yards, nnd no great store of treasure andpreolous stones. But I own one rare jewel—I can wander anywhere in my dominionswithout fear and lay my old head In peace-ful slumber in the cot of my humblest sub-Jeot."

"It is enough," they cried in chores."We yield the-palm to thee, for there areno rloher treasures than a people's loveand loyalty." . .

Duke Eberhurd was one ot the greatheroes of tho feudal times. His llttla coun-try of Wurttemberg "was one of the mostprosperous In Europe, and the proudestkings counted him their equal. When hiwas laid in hlB gravo, the Emperor Maxi-milian of Germany declared:

1' Hero lies a prince who has left no equalin tho German empire in princely virtues."

Nor has ttmo been able to blot out hisfair name, und though half a thousandyears havo passed away, dividing the liv-ing from tho dead, it is always pleasantand refreshing when we look baok uponthose times, to find the name of him theycalled the riohest prince.—Exohange.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

"I "was poor and without Influence whenI entered on tho praotlco of my profession,"said the doctor, "but full of vim and In asection ot Indiana where an ability to lookwise while administering quinine or calo-mel was pretty muoh all &at wan neces-sary. .

As she screamedto mo to ny I grasped her under either armand swung her to the seat behind me. Astho gallant maro sprang away with herdouble burden there was a volley of pathsand bullets from tho rear, but I hadswerved from the -beaten road to avoidmeeting tho messenger, and this Io thedarkness saved UB.

THE EDITOR LAUGHED.

He Brought Down ft Big Bag- of Omm«With One snot.

When I was running a college weekly Inwestern town, 1 was compelled on one

occasion to hear myself denounced, in thepresence of a third party who knew usboth, by a professor who did not know meby Bight, who was too abscntminded toobserve my indignation and too cussed tooare overmuch if ho bad. Ho characterizedtho publication ovor which I proslded intho most derogatory terms and said I''slopped over."

Perhaps I did. But the accusationseemed to me preposterous. And tho olr-oumstanoes undo.' which I overheard itaggravated the offense, while they made aretort on tho spot impossible.

That night I sat up until nearly 10o'clock fulminating a thunderbolt. It waslaunched in the next issue ot the weekly.As I recall It, it went nearly as follows:"It bus come within our official oognl-zance that a certain professor has declaredpublicly that this paper slops over and thathe has no use for us. Wo desire to remarkthat la times now happily past we havesaid some kind tilings about this professor.We have had to slop over in order to do so.Instructions have gone forth to our staffthat hereafter they may ease up In theirheroic efforts in that direction, Tho pro-fessor will not be worried henceforth byany undeserved adulation."

I thought that paragraph was a smash-er. My "staff" informed me that it wasboth able and ndrolt. I smiled when onoof my teaohers called me up and said hehoped the reference was not Intended forhim. It wasn't. When another ono assuredmo that he had not been oorreotly quoted,my smile widened. Be was not the mant was after. I laughed merrily when an-other professor told me that be thought ItWould have been In better taste if he andt had come to a personal explanation. Bewas not the can. 2 exploded with amnse-ment when a good friend ot mine In thefaculty asked me It I was filming at a mildmannered old philanthropist who taughtIn the seminary. It was some one else IWanted. I heard of that paragraph dozeusof times In the next few days, and forawhllo I was In the highest spirits.

Then it occurred to me that I was bring-ing down too muoh game, that my thun-derbolt liad scattered Its fire too widely.The Idea sobered me, and I sat down tothink It over. It became evident to myclarified perceptions that I had polled un-wittingly the sentiment of tho entire bodyof learned gentlemen who managed theaffairs of my college, and that they musthavo been saying thtngB about the paperthat it were better to have left unrevealed.

As I recall the incident after somo yearsmy impression Is that It there was any jokeIn It It was on me.—0. B. F. In New TorkMall and Express. •

One of IVIncoIn's Kind Acts.One Bummor morning shortly before tbe

close of the civil war the not unusualeight In Washington of an old veteran hob-bling along could bare been seen on «shady path that led from the executivemansion to the war office. Tho old manwas in pain, and tho pale, sunken cheeksand vague, faraway stare In bis eyes be-tokened a short lived existence. Ho halteda moment and then slowly approached atall gentleman who was walking thought-fully along. "Good morning, air. I'm anold soldier and would like to ask your ad-vioe."

Tbe gentleman turned, and smilingkindly, invited the poor old veteran to aseat under a shady tree. There ho listenedto the man's story of how he had fonghtfor the Uulon and was severely wpnnded,incapacitating him for other work in life,and begged directions bow to apply forback pay due him and a pension, offeringbis papers for examination.

Tbe gentleman looked over the papersand then took out a card and wrote direc-tions on it, also a few words to. tho pon-slon bureau, desiring that speodyattontlonbe given to the applicant, and handed itto Mm.

The old soldier looked at it, and withtears In his oyos thanked tho tall gentle-man, who, with a sad look, bade him goodluck and hnrrled up tho walk. Slowly thesoldier read the cord again and then turn-ed it over to read tho name of tho owner.More tears welled in his eyes when heknew whom be had addressed himself to,and his lips muttered: "I am glad Ifought for bun and tho country, tor-henever targets.

COLONEL SELLEES.ORIGIN OF THE FAMOUS PHRASE,

"THERE'5 MILLIONS IN IT."

Bow Dr. Stephemon'i Works Spread FromDalilonejca, Go., to tho Mining* Camps ofCalifornia—Mark Twain's Clo of ths Ex-pression In "Tue Gilded Axe."

Ever since the publication of The Glid-ed A ire Mulberry Sellers' pet remark,''There's millions in It," has been quotedall over tho English speaking world, batthe true origin of that famous expressionhas norar before boon made public. W. P.Prlco, ex-congressman from Georgia, givesthe following authentic) account of thecoining of that sn.ving, whioh had Its birthin the sloop? little town of Dahlonega, Ga-i t was, In loot, one of tlie tow things bornthoro that ever becamo famous, for the oldfashioned Tillage has nestled among themountains for nearly a century utterly un-awaro of tho progress tho outsldo waridwas making. Bat In I860, when tho goldfovor was at Its height, the crazo penetrat-ed oven to this secluded valley, where goldhad been found.upon tho mountain Bideslong before tho Indians had been drivenfrom tho possessions of their fathers. Tboyield bad not been great, but juss Buffl-olent to whet tho appctlttcs of these moun-taineers and mako them ready to bolleyetho most fabulous1 stories of the goldentreasures on tho Paolflo coast.

Day by day the littlo group that sat Infront of the corner storo diligently whit-tling dismissed tho wonderful finds in Cali-fornia, and tho storekeeper would evenstop tho absorbing game of checkers hewaB playing with tho sheriff in order tojoin In the conversation -when it becamemost oxoiting. "gjubh enti-anclDg yarns aswere spun thoro! Such stories as were toldabout poor dovllB liko themselves who hadstruck it luoky and wero now rich btyondtheir wildest expectations I Iho moro theytalked tho more onthusiastto they became,until soon an expedition was formed, com-posed of tbo fcnoro adventurous spirits, tostart for tho gold regions. Tho news spreadlike wildfire and noon overy dblebodledman in tho country was willing and anx-ious to join thorn.

When Dr. Matthow F. Stephenson, oa-eayer in tbo United States branch mint,thon located In Dahlonega, heard of this,ho shook bis head and denouncod itaas>foolish craze,for thodootorhod great faithin tho resources of hla natlvo town. Then,too, ho -Vfas an authority In tho village,and his opinion'was always listened towith respect. When prospectors and in-vestors, hearing of the gold fonnd in thatsection, came. tbero to investigate it, Dr.Stephenson -was always tho one deputed totalk to them and dii. to upon tho hiddenwoalth of tha neighborhood. Poor, in pock-et himself, tho old doctor nevertheless hadlargo ideas, and on tbcsooccaslons ho novercondescended to mention any smaller sumthan millions.

When ho saw that the men were In ear-nest about storting for tho goldfleldsof thewest, tho doctor became greatly exercisedand announced that ho wished to make aBpcech to them beforo they made any fur-thor arrangements. Tho next'afternoon,being Saturday, was selected as a fittingtime for his oration, and all the men, wom-en and children of tho village assembled infront of the oourthouso at the appointedhour, forhehad'famc la tho county/as anorator and all Tfcro anxious to hear whatlie would cay. Xho speech has not beenhanded down by Ills admirers, but ColonelPrice, who ~was then a printer's boy in theTillage, remembers how, standing on thecourthouse eteps.'hls long tailed coat flap-ping In the breeze, tho old doctor pointedone finger to Crown mountain, just southof the mint.building, and cried dramatic-ally, "Boys, there's millions in it." Ashout ox derisionHvas, his only answer, forIlls hearers felt they hnd 'exhausted, all thepossibilities of these mines. "There's mil-lions in Iti" tho cjoctor repeated, sMUpointing to tho lriountolnB, out oven, this—pbecy failed to'alfer flic determination

Thin did Dr. Stephenson'sremark become tho word of cheer.

LONDON MESSENGER BOYS.

Slow ns tho messenger boy Is said to bo,ho has reached London, whore tho Englishoonslder him "a jolly good thing, yoknow," anil use him In many wondrousVfayB.

Tho Boy Messengers' company was or-ganized in 1800 on thoAmerlcan plan, andat once ran against tho postofflco officers,who said It was trespassing on govern-ment preserves, Inasmuch as it was carry-ing letters without duo authority. Thoofficials had to back down, however. Sinoothen the company bos prospered and has Inits employ, all told, about 800 parsons.

The company takes better caro of itsbojB than those hero do. Not only aro theirclothes provided free, but they have olnb-rooms, with library, gymnasium and adining hall, whore meals are provided at

Tho boyfl have an oxoellent reputationas a class and are trusted. Checks rangingfrom £300 to £1,000 have been safely givenV> thorn to cash, although tho company isnot llablo beyond £20. Often they aro sonton extended trips—to Scotland, with sports-men and sometimes to Holland. One hasbeon to tho south of Franca.

Tho "call" box is still something of anovelty to the Englishman. Not longsince, when a box had been put in, tieproud owner was showing it to his guostsand explaining its value. "As soon as thowires aro connected with tho central of-flco," bo said, "and they will bo in a dayor two, nil I'll havo to do will be to turnthis littlo crank, so, and I con havo mes-sengers, cabmen, firemen and police rightat tho houso In no timo." Ho had soarcelydono speaking when his assertion was veri-fied emphatically, for tho box had beenwired that afternoon, and tho mao had noend of trouble explaining to tho mob inred and bluo and gray and green that wasclamoring at bis door bow it all had oo-ourred.

Coming in recently a suburbanitenamed George Affolter was called from hisnewspaper to mako tho fourth in a gameof whist which had been interrupted bythe departure of ono of tho players. Thehantla had boen dealt around, and Affolter,noting there wero 18 cords, said: "Whatis !tr Hearts!"'

It happened that hearts wero trumpi,and an affirmative answer was given. Onthe first play Affolter gleefully threw awaya king, followed It tho next with anotharhigh card and was overjoyed to see that theman at his elbow was obliged to tako thethird trick, and the fourth, and the fifth,and BO on indefinitely.

On tho second hand Affolter's partnerled a king and Affolter thought they wouldhave to tako it; but, to bis delight, thoopposition gathered In the trlok and pro-oeeded to harvest all the other IS as wellAffolter was almost hysterical with joy.Bis partner looked strange.

ThlugB went on ha the sumo way for twomore deals, and tho Affolter faction, owingto the new man's hoadwork, hadn't taken• trick, when at length the suffering part-ner said:

"Say, you'll excuse me, but yon play themost idiotlo, outrageous, Infernal gome of.whist that, ever occurred In my experi-ence."

Affolter waa dumfounded. "Whist I"he cried bleakly. "Why, heavens, man,I've baen. playing tht game of hearts ashard as X knewjhow."

ABOUT KIT CAKSON.THE SOCIAL SIDE OF THE FAMOUS

AMERICAN PIONEER.

Jessie Bcnton TremoLt Telia or the Fron-i k n s i i A First \lslt to WiulilngtThe Tiling Tlmt M.mt ImpruHMid HimWas tlm Abundance of Food.

"As a frontiersman 111." iminc nnd fnmcnro everywhere fcnuwn, but there arc jier-hnps few who think of him except nil thehero of wild adventures. Tlmt. ho wns, buthe was moro, Nothing could be moro mls-takon than to think of him as a roughbordcror." Mrs. Fremont sat a littlo for-ward In her chair, tho fine old face light-Ing with tlmt flro which will nover bo for-gotten by any who has known tho help-meet and widow of our Pathfinder.

"Kit Cnrson wns a man among mei.typo of tho real American pioneer, potonly fearless, but clear headed, as gentleas be was strong. Ho lind tho true courte-sy of tho heart, and withal a quiet prlde —much as Biohard the Lion Heart.nnd hisknights, who thanked God they woro notclorkB.

"His nature was literally sweet—sweetby its wholesomoness—sweet as a clear outwinter morning Is sweet.

"When ho was to como to our house fortho first time (ho had just ridden overlandfrom California on Ills mission from Gen-eral Fremont, and my father, then in St.Louis, charged him to visit us), lny moth-er was a littlo uneasy. Ho was accompa-nied by Edward Bealo, thon a midship-man, afterward General Bealo. Carsonwas shy and reserved, and his welcome a9one who had been Fremont's companionind right hand man overwhelmed him.JTct ho was not awkward. A perfect gen-tleman, bis dignity and delicacy complete-ly disarmed my mother. Ho had boonafraid tho ladies might not caro to have

him thero if they know ho hod married a3iouxwlfe. But she was a good woman,'he declared. 'I never camo in from hunt-Ing but sho had water warm for my feet.'I have always remembered that—it was BOllko tho simplicity of tho Biblo.

"Carson wos perfectly Saxon, dear andfair, with light, thin 'baby hair,' bluooyes, light eyebrows and lashes and a.fairskin. He was very, short and unmistaka-bly bandy legged, long bodied and shortlimbed—a man of great strength and vital-ity. On a horso ho was superb—ono of themost perfect riders of tho frontier. And howas one of tho bust marksmen.

"Ho had a quick and gentlo senso of hu-mor. Thero was no Eelf consciousness inhim, nor bitterness.

"It used to delight him to go to thomarket (wo wero in Washington) andwatch the crowds and talk with tho mar-ket people. That It could bo so easy to pro-euro food wns a rovelntion to him. As mymother said, ho who had so often had torisk his lifo for a mouthful could appro,clato this abundanco.

"Ho was devoted to my daughter Lilly,thon 7 years old. Sho seemed wonderful tohim, for tho chlldron ho had known on thofrontier, of course, had not had many ad-vantages, and ho was surprised at herIdeas. Sensltlvo to every generous and>re-flned impulBO, as ho was, he was charm-ing to cblldrou.'

"Ono day, I remember, ho bought a pairof turtle doves in tho market and broughtthorn homo to Lilin n squirrel cage. Itwas In Washington In tho slavo days, buthe brour o tho .cugo in his own band—athing wo white person thought of doingthero in thoso days. He told her how intho wilderness ho used to hear the dovescall, and that whon ho was in the marketand heard those lamenting ho wished toget them for her. Tho child was. faithfulin caring for thorn, but ono hot Septemberday, fagged nnd wilted, sho forgot thorn,and they were drooping. I was going tocaro for them, but ho said: 'No, let hersee what sho has done. One lesson will beenough for her.'

"She attended to them, and then Carsontook her on his kneo and talked to herwith the very feeling of tho Hindoos—thattho lifo of tho smallest creature shouldnover bo taken except at need. Next day,in looking over LlttcH's 'Living Age,'. hofound Andersen's 'The Lark and thoDaisy' and had mo read it to him, Lll sbbTblng and Carson comforting 1-er.

" 'I went to school in a log cabin scliool-house,' ho said. 'Ono day thero camo thocry of Injuns, and I ran with the men—andtharitlaysl But I would give |5,000If I could read OB you can.'

"Thero was an illustrated edition of By-ron in tho parlor, and in it one day Carsoncaino upon tho steel ongravlng of Mazeppaand began to see what it meant.

" 'Bead it to mol' he cried at hist. 'Youcan read it BO much faster.' -

"So I read to him. He walked up anddown, intensely stirred. '

"Thero nover yet WOB human powarThat could ovuuc, if unforftlven,Tho patient «onrch and vigil longOf him who treasures up a wrong.

" 'That's Iti That's the word I1 he brokeout. 'He knows how It is. It took me threeyears beforo I could go back and thankthose Blackfeet for robbing my caches.'After this I had to read 'Mazeppa1 to himnearly every day.

"Carson was of Kentucky stock, trans-planted to Missouri. His simplicity, likehis courage, was of tho old pioneer stamp.

"This first visit of Carson to our homolasted three weeks, and ho enjoyed seeingand comprehending tho life of cities. Henover could get over his surpriso and pleas-ure nt seeing how easy it was to get foodhero without danger. But he was not doz.-sled."—Land of Sunshine.
