"J Can't Tell" ths FiTcrita Answer of Mr.
Dick and Mr. HaTemejer.Who Were Quizzed
Icsteriaj Afraid to Froduw the Bocks,
New Y02K. March 21.-Tho Stat Senate
xr committee resumed ita session here to
day. William Dick, of Dick & Myer. one
of tbe constituent companies of the Sugar
Trust under investigation, testified that
John E. Searles was the only man who
Xdott anything rellallo about the relations
of bis ccin$any to tbe tmiL Wbea ques
tioned elosjly as to the amount of profits
xxzade by bis company "when it entered tbe
treat witness inraxUbly replied: "I cannot
telL"
Mr. Irani--Can yon tell -within half a
million?
Witness No.
; Who does knowr
Mr. Searles."
H. 0." Ilavemeyer fraa submitted to alone
and tiresome questioning about the details
of the relations between tbe American Su
gar Ketining Company and the Trust. He
stated that be became o party to a deed of
trust called tbe American Sugar He fineries
Company. - This company was subsequent
ly discontinued by tbe Court of Appeals,
men," said Mr. Ilavemeyer, "I became a
member- of the . American Sugar Ke
Unories Company of New Jersey.
The most Important point deduced by the
testis: ony was tbe statement tbat the ten
ia mion-dollar loan was by tbe constituent
companies at individuals and not as a cor
poration. Tbe investigation proceeded
tediously, and little valuable information
could be drawn from Mr. Ilavemeyer.
Something of a sensation was created at
one tim-j wben tbe witness declined to slve
tbe valuation placed upon tbe stock turned
over to tbe trust by bis company. Mr.
ilavemeyer said be could not tell it.
- Attorney Harris Do you know how much
you got yourselff
Mr. Havemyer I do, approximately.
Havu you any objection to telling this
committeeP
"With due deference to the committee I
must decMne to answer."
When the company was organized into
a corporation in 1S87, how much personal
property did the books of tbe company
show!"
"None." N
"iluw was the refining business con
ducted!" Kntirely with borrowed money."
'How mucn was borrowed!"
"Ob, all tbe way from one to fifteen mill
ions." Sensation.)
. Asked by Senator Irwin ht.r many of his
hanra were transferred to th trust Mr.
Havemeyer positively declined to state on
tbe grouiid that his private affairs were
outside tbe province of the investigation.
Tbe committee conferred together aud de
cided that tbe witness must vans wer tbe
question.
Mr. ilavemeyer responded that, with all
due respect to the committee, he should re
fine to answer.
Senator Irwin stated tbat tbo question
and witness's refusal to answer would be
submitted to tbo Senate to decide as to its
propriety or otherwise. Asked what tbe
yearly protita of bis company were prior to
Joining tbe trust, witness fell back on Mr.
Uick's eonvenient reply, 'I can't tell."
QuestionCould it be ascertained by ex
amining your books!
'.. AnsTerI think it could.
Q. Where are these books!
A. At the central office in Xew Jersey.
(.Are tbo books ot the other companies
there?.
. a. Yes.
Q. Have yon any objection to producing
nil of those books! '
' A. I should certainly object. I do not
think it would be fair to expose the uOairs
of tbe various corporations to their rivals.
Q. Do you decline to produce the books
in obedience to the subpoena!
A. It is not a question of declining. I
bavy not the powor.
Q.So far as it is in your power as presi
dent of the corporation do you refuse?
A. No: if I was assured that no nte
would be made of them for the benefit of
rjy rivals.
Q. What was the object of forming tho
trust!
A. To form a community of interests
among tbe stockholders,
ty Was it not with tbo view of keeping
up price!
A. It was formed for the pecuniary ad
vantage of the members.
This ended the examination for the day.

. RAILROAD SPEED.
A TMscusaion Concerning Rapid Transit at
120 Allies an Hoar,
Electrics! Review.
In reply to an inquiry, it was stated by
Mr. Crosby that the stopping-space, with a
braking power that would just fail to slide
the wbI at a speed of 130 miles an hour,
would be about seven thousand feet, and
that the distance of getting the train to
speed with the motors as designed would
be, perhaps, two cr three miles. He gav
it aa bis op.nlon that such high speeds
wore only vahiablo for very long distances,
aud were not practicable for distances of
forty miles or so, and that, therefore, his
yatera would be only commercially prac
ticable in connecting large cities.
ir. F. L. Fope mentioned an opinion ex
pressed by an eminent civil engineer tbat
safety from derailment at very high speeds
would be best secured by very slightly
enrving the line of the road just suffi
ciently to cause the flanges of the wheels
to bear constantly a jainst one side, with
-which construction a speed of two hundred
niHca an boor would be safe.
Dr. I. H. Dudley ditcusaed the subject
with a view to resistance to motion and
condition of tbe track. He foncd on tbe
Lake Hbore & Michigan Southern railroad
and tbe New York Central & Hudson River
rmlrosd that, with trains of about 250 tons,
tba resistance was only from ten to twelve
pounds yr ten ct cactus of from iifty to
cixtj iil r-r bur, in lieu of tlu re
sistance of seventeen or eighteen
pounds per ton as given by tbo
text-book formulas. Tbe resistance per
ton is not nearly so great on long trains as
on short ones. With trains of twoand three
cars, sometimes it ran as high as tnirty-tivo
and forty pounds per ton, but with long
trains it ran down to about ten or twelve
pounds per ton. The greatest variable is
tbe wind resistance, and an experiment
made in 1878, to see why the New ork Cen
tral was not able to make its time with its
train, showed that on a still day it was
possible to make time, but a wind of ten or
twelve miles an honr would retard the
trains so that, in running from Buffalo to
New York, they would lose two hours. Tbe
trouble at that time was that tbe boilers
were not large enough to quickly generate
the steam required to meet tbe increased re
sistance. Trains were run np to a speed
jnst ntout tbe capacity of tbe boiler, and
that would limit the speed they conld main
tain; therefore, wben a bead or steady wind
was blowing against tbem tbe speed would
bo reduced very materially.
The greatest improvement in decreasing
train resistsnce is in bringing up tbe stand
aid of excellence of the track, and adopt
ing heavier and stlifer rails. The method
of making rails adopted in his own prac
tice was to make tbem very stiff, and thus
reduce the defection or wave motion un
der each of the wheels. Comparing the re
sistance of the Chicago limited express on
sti.T eighty-pound rails with that of the
sixty-five-pound rails which have been on
the track some time, it makes a difference
of seventy-five to one hundred horse-power
per mile. With stiff rails, the line is so
perfect that there- is scarcely any oscilla
tian on tbe best roads, and there is now
very little difference in the oscillation in
riding on a tangent or a curve. He thought
tbat in the case of some 105-pound rails
which he had designed he would be able to
save on the fast express trains nearly two
hundred horse power per mile as compared
with worn sixty or sixty-tive-pound rails.
He thought it would be perfectly safe to
run at a speed of 120 miles au hour on a
track made tip of 105-pound rails. He had
ridden several times seventy-five miles an
hour on heavy rails and did not feel it
nearly so much as when running forty-five
miles an hour on light rails. There 'is
scarcely any oscillation, tbe track is in per
fect line and tbe joints are all kept up.
Speaking of the relative advantages of
steam and eloctrio traction, in view of the
possible improvements, ho thought elec
tricitybad decidedly tbe advantage for pas
senger traffic, and steam for freight traffic
For high speeds electricity roust lend steam,
for tbe reason that the accumulative load
in using steam, tbe coal necessary to be
carried, and tho water, makes the greater
economy lie with electricity. If you can
get UO per cent., efficiency out of your elec
tric service, and have a frequent service at
twenty miles an hour, electric propulsion
is slightly more economical than steam
nropulsion. As tbe speed is increased tbe
relative value of the electrio propulsion in
creases enormously, and at 120 miles an
hour it is something like six times more
economical than steam. Such a speed for
any length of time would be out of the
question with steam, because the amount of
coal and water required to be carried adds
a quantity that would require two or three
tenders to take care of. Every pound of
coal added requires moro coal to be burned
to pull tbat pound.
IlIN'T TO LOUISIANA.
Pennsylvania's Coarse In the Jtlolly Slagalre
Cases Slight lie Followed with the Mafia,
New York Press.
Less tbau twenty years ago the people of
Pennsylvania were confronted by a crim
inal combination much more formidable
than tbe alleged Mall a at New Orleans.
Like the Mafia it was a foreign conspiracy
having bnd its origin in the remoterregions
of Ireland, where ages of oppression' ored
a hatred of constituted authority. The
Molly Maguire organization held in terror
an extensive district in Pennsylvania, Its
members were all foreigners; its decrees
were carried out swiftly and effectively,
and its secrets were so well kept that there
seemed to be no way of raising the veil aud
detecting the criminals.
Hut the Kepubllcan State of Pennsyl
vania did not resort to violence. With the
assistauce given by tearless and law-abiding
men, the whole conspiracy was laid bare,
and the crimes brought home to tbe guilty.
Over twenty Molly Magnires perished on
tbe scaffold as the result of lawful trials
and sentences, and the Molly Maguire or
ganization was stamped out, probably for
ever, in this country. From first to last
the proceedings were orderly, as all such
proceedings are presumed: to be in a civil
ized State nod nation. Never, on en was
violence hinted at. The people of Penn
sylvania felt tbat tbe law was adequate to
vindicate justice, and their confidence was
not misplaced. Even on tbe days of exe
cution Governor Hartranft remained in
his office, near a telegraph instrument,
ready to stay the sentence of tbe law
should any unforeseen event call for bis
interference. Such is the law in' its maj
esty, as administered in a law-abiding com
munity, in the face of a danger far more
menacing than any that has been made the
VTc?ne for mob violence in Louisiana.
The difference between North and South
is tbat bere the people have confidence in
their institutions. There self-g ivtrnment
is but a shield for misgovern'inmt. The
State governments are founded on fraud
and violence, and the violation of tbo con
stitutional rights of the colored race, and
it is not strange tbat but little trust is
reposed in tbe effectiveness of such a sys
tem to protect the lives and property of citi
zens. Two Northern Republican States
had no difficulty in dealing with Molly
Magnires and Anarchists. But in the
South, it seems, crime can be punished
only by the commission of deeper crimes.
Easter Devices.
CoTjrrr Gentleman. ,
There are numberless devices for making
the little ones happy at Faster. Calling on
a lady the other day, 1 found her with
dozens of empty egg-sells of all the sizes
and tints in which eggs are found, includ
ing tbe delicate blue of ducks' eggs. As we
chatted she worked with tiny scissors, pen
cil, brushes and paints, and before tbe
close of the afternoon her table was
tilled with a quaint and charming col
lection of gifts. On one shell she had
painted a prim and Priscilla-like maiden
with demure, heavy-fringed, downcast
eye-lids; on another a meek and modest
nun. A priest all shaved and shorn, an
Italian brigand, a dusky-skinned Spaniard,
an old farmer, a church deacon with spec
tacles on bis brows, sweet little choir-boys
and coquettish little misses were all por
trayed with a few deft turns of tbe brush.
Then from bits of paper, white or colored,
she fashioned suitable headgear for each,
and mounted it on a square piece of bristol
board, bearing an Faster greeting in one
corner and her own initials in the other.
Still other shells were clipped and cut with
the sharpest of scissors into minature tea
sets. A cream-pitcher of tbesquatty.oblong.
old-fashioned shape of longago.with a bit of
twisted gold wire glued on for a handle a
sngar-bowl of . corresponding design, with;
gold beads glued on for feet; pigeons' eegs '
were cut into tiny cups, and saucers, albeit
somewhat deep for their diameter, werecnt
from larger shells. The edges were all
clouded with cilt, and gold wire formed
tbe handles, Tho ontsides were decorated
with tbe tiny rosea and buds which was
the fashionable china decoration in tho
days of our great-grandmothers. For a
tray, a wooden butter-plate was gilded on
tbe outside and painted on its inner, brown
surface, with a border of forget-me-nots
and sprays of trailing arbutus in the
center.
IIalfords Definition of a Falsehood.
New York Continent
Mr. Elijah Halford, tho talented private
Secretary of the President, is a public ben
efactor. He has done a valuable service to
ail tbe tender consciences in tbe communi
ty. Men who have hitherto reproached
themselves for little deceits tbat seem neces
sary but yet reprehensible can now point
to his definition of a falsehood and claim to
be as guileless as the truthful Washington.
For Mr. Hal ford's opinion, tbe authorship
of which be ascribes to liisbop meaning,
presumably. Archbishep Whately, is tbat
"a lie is an untruth told for tbe purpose of
deceiving tome one who has a right to
know the truth."
This is a most convenient theory. Ac
cording to it no consideration need be
shown to tbe ordinary inquisitive question
er. What right, for inatauce, has the man
who inquires after your health to know tbe
truth? Or tbe man who wants to know
wbat time itis, or bow to spell "Cincin
nati!" Why, for that matter, cine-tenths
of all tho interrogations that inako life
miserable are prompted by mere curiosity,
and the moral law would allow tbe victim
entire liberty of judgment in answering
tbem according to his own inclinations.
Indeed, the only place where the old-fashioned
idea of veracity would still prevail
would bo the law courts. Mr. Ifalfoxd is
evidently training for a high post in tho
diplomatic service. ,
AMERICAN CATTLE IN EUfiOPE.
Some of the Results of Secretary Rusk's Efforts
to Ihve Kestrlctions Removed,
Chicago, March 21. The sensationally
large purchases of cattle in Canada during
the past week, by American capitalists
brought to light here, to-day, the first com
plete public knowledge of tbe results of a
masterly international campaign tbat has
heen quietly, but effectively, waged by
Secretary of Agriculture Husk. The
object was to afford relief to
American cattle-growers by opening
up markets abroad, and, according
to the statements of one of tbe largest deal
ers in Chicago, success has already been at
tained while a much greater widening of
tho foreign outlet is now close at hand.
The Canadian purchases, it appears, , are
simply in the nature of preliminary tactics
to secure tho unrestricted entry of Ameri
can cattle into Great Britain. Canadian
cattle, though inferior to the American
product, aro legally unfettered by
British enactments, and the Americans,
who have just bought some immense
Canadian herds, propose to utilize the Can
adian animals to familiarize tho people of
rural England, Scotland and Wales with the
beef from this sido of the Atlantic. This
:Cnadiau venture is certain to result in a
loss to tbe Americans interested, but they
aro confidently counting on recouping
themselves when, under the plans laid
down by Secretary Kusk, tbe American
beeves are freely introduced and slaught
ered at will throughout Great Britain. At
present American live-stock can only be
landed or killed at three ports, and that,
too, under very barassiug restrictions.
That tbe Kusk plan will acccomplish its
purpose in Queen Victoria's populous do
main, tbe results already reached through
him in France, Germany and the Nether
lands leave no doubt, to say nothing of tbe
fact that the essential features of the plan
have now just been formally embodied in
the United States statutes as tbe fed
eral meat inspection law. Months
ago, it is learned. Secretary Hnsk put
to work on an experimental scale
exactly the inspection provided in the bill.
His agents inspected certain shipments and
certified the animals to be sound as an
American dollar. Against this certificate
tbe authorities at Paris. Antwerp aud Ham
burg have been uuablo to maintain tbe
tilue-honored pretense tbat the cattle,being
American, wero as a matter of. course dis
eased. Beginning Dec 20 six different
shipments have been landed np to date
at Hamburg, aggregating 1.S07 head. The
shipments to Paris, thirteen in number,
commenced arriving Aug. 1, and now have
reached a total of 4,631 head. At Antwerp
the shipments began still further back
May 5. That port also has received thir
teen consignments, altogether 2,022 head.
Great Britain is now the market strong
hold toward the capture of which is being
bent all the surplus energy of tbe American
cattle-growers, led by Secrotary Kusk.
MEISSON1ER AND MRS. MACKAY,
A New Vorslon of the Story of Their
Famous Quarrel.
LoEfl m World.
Although the papers have positively bris
tled for days with reminiscences of Meis
sonier, some of them being purely apocry
phal, not one of them has hit on the true
version of his historical quarrel with Mrs.
Mackay. Meissonier failed notoriously to
make his mark in portraiture, but could
never be persuaded that he was not quite
as good as either Cabanal or Bonnat. Curi
ously enough tbe only passable portrait he
ever turned out was, tbo one of himself
-which figured at the last French exhib
ition. Soon after Mrs. Mackay commenced her
sittings she was attacked by a dangerous
illness of many weeks' duration, and Meis
sonier (whose commercial antitude was no
toriousj.fearing to lose the TO.OOOf agreed on,
hastened to finish tbe picture with the aid
of a model. The result can easily, be im
agined, and Mrs. Mackay, who 'gloves'' at
five and three-quarters, very naturally ob
jected to be depicted with the hands of a
Gorgon, and asked him to make certain
changes. Meissonier lost his temper (a
matter of not infrequent occurrence) and
flatly refused in very nncourteous terms,
alleging that the signature "Meissonier"
was worth the money.
Here the matter ended, the alleged sequel
being entirely imaginary. Meissouier got
bis money (for which Mrs. Mackay holds hia
receipt) without a moment's delay, and my
French readers will be relieved to learu
that the portrait still exists, carefully
packed away in the cellars of Mr. John
Mackay's Pans bankern. lt has not soen
daylight for some years, but its alleged
tragic destruction was a simple canard.
Three years since Meissonier married the
model who waethe innocent cause of the
absolute want of resemblance, if not of the
enlarged handB.
She Followed the Rook's Rule.
New York Trltmnc
Did you ever know a genuine Chinese
woman of culture? There are a very few
such women who are married to Anglo
Saxon husbands and have adopted Anglo
Saxon habits of thought, retaining enough
of a spice of the "flowery kingdom" to be
specially interesting. Such women seem to
be possessed, however, in their work with
the same mechanical kind of mind which is
the characteristic of the male Chinese.
They follow a rulo given them with. a
fidelity and exactness that never fails to
produce a uniform result. An amusing in
stance of this perfect fidelity to detail is
thus related: A Chinese lady who bad be
come thoroughly anglicized was given a
recipe for a new cake which she had asked
for. She gazed at it critically. "It's an
odd way of making cake." she murmured.
Yon don't givo auy directions for butter
ing the pan. "Of course, tbat is under
stood." was the amused answer. Unhap
pily, it is tho Anglo-Saxon woman's habit
to consider things understood in cooking
and to give directions in an indefinite man
ner, leaving half the rnle to be presumed;
and this makes most cook-books a failure.
'My hnsband invited a friend to tea." said
a young married lady recently, "and I
wished to show what a good housekeeper I
was; so 1 made some cake. 1 did not say
anything to tbe cook, ns she was not too
amiable over my intrusion; but I made the
cake myself, exactly according to the
recipe, feeling certain that it would be bet
tor than Bridget's. Tbe rnle gave no di
rections for flour, so I did not put any in.
Tbe cake was a surprise to all of us." This
story, which is literally true, goes to show
how exceedingly ignorant a young house
keeper may be, and how necessary exact
directions are.
Some Recipes.
Creamed Potatoes Boil the potatoes
quickly in salted water. . Let them get
thoroughly done, but not so soft that they
will break. Put in a hot dish and stir a
quarter of a pound of butter in a bowl un
til it begins to melt, then pour in a cupful
of cream, let it get hot, add salt and white
Eepper. bat to a cream with the egg
eater and turn while hot over the pota
toes. Turnip Pnree Take six large turnips,
peel, slice thin and boil in salted water
until sufficiently cooked; then drain in a
colander and afterward rub through a fine
sieve. Place the pulp thus obtained in a
saucepan, mix with it a tableapoonful of
flour, a seasoning of salt, pepper r.nd grated
nutmeg, a good nlice of butter and a tea
cupful of rich milk. Stir over tho fire un
til thoroughly hot, then serve as requirea
say, with beef or mutton.
Saratoga Biscuits The following break
fast cakes are great favorites at a certain
Saratoga hotel: Heat a pint of new milk
over tho fire, and when hot euongh to melt
butter remove, add butter the size of a
walnut, three beaten egjis. three table
spoonfuls of good yeast, a little salt and
flour enough to make a good dough. Let
them rise in a warm place for two or three
hours. Make np into small biscuit of bun
shaped cakej, lay closo together on a well
buttered tin and bake for fifteen minutes
in a quick oven.
Sweet Potatoes, Sliced Boil the potatoes,
and when they are cool peel and slice them
in slices about a quarter of an inch thick.
Put some small pieces of butter in the bot
tom of a baking d:sh and then a layer of
potato, and sprinkle with a littlo butter
and sugar. Proceed in this way with each
layer until the pan is full; just before put
ting it in tbe oven to bake pour over it a
small teacnpful of water. When it begins
to bako moisten tbe top with a little hot
water and butter, so that the sugar will
not dry on top. This should be baked
rather slowly ,
. A Use for "Wooden Shoes.
Correspondent Prairie Farmer.
A few years since I was puzzled to know
how a French neighbor kept her house so
very neat while her husband, who was
quite an old man, trotted back and forth
ail day from tbo bouse to the stable, where
he kept three or four cows. One day the
mystery was explained by seeing a pair of
wooden shoes at tbe side of the porch
(under cover where they would not get
wetl, and the old gentleman gliding noise
lessly around the bouse in slippers. When
he went out he stepped into the wooden
shoes, and when he returned he stepped
out of them, and that was all there was
about it.
i
Coloring Baiter Eggs.
Country Gentleman.
But the greatest event of the day for the
children lies in the coloring of the Faster
egs. Tbe auillne dyes will color tbem
with tho least trouble-and with the least
satisfactory resnlt from an artistio point of
view. If, however, you do use them, dia-
solve the dye stuffs first in a little alcohol
before adding water sutfieientto well cover
the eggs. Cochineal will give nny shade,
from the most delicate pink to the richest
and deepest crimson, according to the
quantity used. Logwooil chips or powdered
logwood will give different shades of pur
ple, and if enough bo used, a larger quanti
ty will make them black, but you will not
want many black eggs. Vinegar added to
thelogwocd dye will give crimson, and sul
phate of iron added later, a bright blue.
Kggs boiled in strong coffee will be brown;
in a decoction made from onion peelings,
yellow. Whatever coloring matter is used
the eggs should never rest on the bottom
of the sauce-pan, but should be placed in a
wire egg boiler. Use an old sauce-pan.
They must always be kept well covered
with water. If rnbbed with sweet oil or a
bitoftbutter after they -are boiled, they
will have a glossy appearance. Names or
designs traced on with nitric acid before
boiling will remain white. Another way
to effect tracery or etchings is to heat the
egg for a few moments in hot water, and
then write on it with a sharpened tallow
candle, or a pointed stick dippod in melted
tallow. The parts touched with tbe grease
will remain uncolored, and will seem simply
magic to the little tot who sees her name
written In white on a pink pr violet egg.
Very pretty effects are obtained by boiling
the eggs for an hour, then .brushing them
over with strong glue or painter's size, and
sprinkling with geld or silver dust such as
book-binders use. -

Washington Letter.
The Patent Office files contain many cur
ous documents protests, explanations, sup
plications, expostulations: aud the like.
The following is a specimen. It was in
dited by a Western woman who had in
vented a "bath-table," and whose request
for a patent was refused, whereupon she
made a second application, closing with
these words, which are transcribed ver
batim et literatim:
"I can't expect men who have always
lived in tbe East, especially men who have
a healthy government position and fare
sumptuously, and are plenteonsly supplied
with hot water, to realize what a public
benefactor I am, and what a blessing my
invention will be to the 'great unwashed.1
Yon cannot sympathize with a man who,
when he indulges in the luxury of a bath,
takes it in a wash-tub in the seclusion of
the summer-kitchen, with a broken door
latch and curtainless windows. You have
never been taken to board as 'one of the
family' and gone into the darkness to the
kitchen for hot water to find the fire and
the cook both out and no kindlings in.
Perhaps yon have never been the mother of
a poor, croopy boarding-house baby when
there was no hot water. Think of the
deaths from grippe that a hot foot bath
might have prevented bad the victims pos
sessed my 'bath-table.' Please observe the
blue-nosed schoolmams who mast take
their snndav bath in cold water and then
go with chattering teeth to . teach the

Evolution of the Sleeping-Car.
New York Becorder. Y
Fow people who ride in the palatial sleep
ing coaches of to-day realize tho wonderful
development in those institutions and the
radical changes which have, taken place in
them within tbe last ten years. But little
more than that time has elapsed since the
sleeping-car was morely 'an. ordinary car
with a lower tier of births and an upper
range which was suspended , from the ceil
ing of the car by leather straps.' The old
"Pioneer." in name as well asln fact, was the
beginning of an evolution in the construc
tion of sleeping-cars, and was . a marvel in
its day. The height of the car was greatly
increased above that of the ordinary cars in
nae, and tbe upper portion . of its interior
was enrved so as to allow, tbo top berths to ,
be folded up against the sides, adding to its
comfort and capacity. On account of its
great size and heisht the Pioneer was
looked upon even by railroad men as a
white elephant, and its success was re
garded as more than doubtful. The roofs
at some of the stations along. the roads
over which this car was to run had to be
raised and the platforms of the stations
were made narrower in order to admit of
its passage. But tbe success of tbe in
vention was pronounced, and then came
the vestibule palaco coaches, which to-day
are unrivaled in their comforts and conve
niences. .
The Little Wooden Match.
New York Recorder.
The common little wooden match which
is manufactured in this country in vast
quantities is not only a convenience, .but.
in a sense a luxury, and, above all, an ab
solute necessity. Its use is so general and
its numbers eo unlimited tbat few people
have any idea of the enormous extent of
the business of making it. Not a great many .
years ago all tho matches used were im
ported, and were confined to that particu
lar variety known as "lucifers" -tbe little
fellows with the blue brimstone heads and
an overpowering odor of sulphur. To-day.
with the exception of the small, red-headed
matches which are made in Sweden and
come over bere in little wooden boxes, and
which are sold for a cent a box, most of the
matches are manufactured in this country.
AJ an illustration of the extent of this in
dustry at the present time it is stated that
the Diamond Match .Company last year
built two largo saw-mills, which turn out
00,000 feet of lumber every day, all of
which is shipped to their factories and made
up into matches. r
The Tin Is There.
A Miner, in Pt. Lonis Globe-Democrat
Shortly after the passage of tbe McKinley
bill there was quite a vigorous debate as to
whether or not there were really any tin
mines in this country, and especially in tho
Black Hills of Dakota. As a Cornisbman
by birth, and a worker in tin mines for over
ten years when a boy andyoung man, I read
the discussion with interest, and last month,
having occasion to go into the new States
in the Northwest, I took a day's journey
and saw the alleged mythical tin mines at
work. Scores of Cornishmeu are working
there, and the tin seems exactly the same
as the southwest England; article. The
weather prevented any great activity while
I was there, but considering that the mines
have onlv been sunk four hundred feet, the
product is remarkable. Tin in raying quan
tities is seldom found so near tho surface as
this, and when the usual depth of six hun
dred or seven hundred feet has been reached
a genuine surprise will probably be forth
coming. j . 1
Women Not Wanted in Wall Street-
New York Contirent.
"I don't care for lady customers." said a
prominent Stock Exchanuo member the
other day to a group of friends in an up
town resort. "There may be women in ex
iatence who, in courage, knowledge of bus
iness and mental accnteness are fitted to
speculate in stocks, but I have not met
them. Several experiences with ladies
who wanted to trade in the market in my
office have all turned out badly. Tbe uni
form result was that they wanted my ad
vice on everything. Took more time to
decide wbat to do than ten times their bus
iness would be worth, invariably lost their
money from indecision and unwillingness
to act at the proper time, and just as uni
formly blamed me for the fact Wall street
is a realm which can get on without any
queens.
The McKinley Bill in Texas.
Texas SUtinri.
Somo people take a gloomy viev of things
on account of the McKinley tariff. One of
these is Mose Scbaumhurg. the merchant
Erinee of Austin, Tx. In receipting a bill
e merely wrote his initials, M. S.
'Why don't yon write out your name in
full as you did tbe last bill of goods I paid
you fort-' asked the customer.
"Mine friendt." replied Mose Scbaunv
burg, shaking his head solemnly, "dot vas
pefore dot McKinley pill had pcome a law,
afld times vas flush. Now 1 have to cut
down expensbes, and I saves hundreds of
tollars every veek by signing only my ini
tials. Let me show you some schentlemanly

AGIN TENXISON. ; .
Six Thousand Poets Enter a Protest Against tha
Action of the World's Fair People.
Engene Field. In CLJcaco News. .
The announcement that Lord Tennyson
has been asked to contribute an original
ode to the dedicatory exercises of the
world's fair has created a pretentious stir
in local literary circles. A number of tho
leading west sido poets assembled in Black's
skating rink last Monday and prepared a
call addressed to all authors, anthoresses,
poets and poetessos of the great Northwest
This call was for a monster mass-meeting
of these authors and things in the Chicago
Auditorium the subsequent Friday after
noon. Accordingly the Auditorium was
fairly filled yesterday when Perry B.
Wbyte appearod noon the stage and called
the meeting to order. , It was estimated
that fully 6,000 representative authors and
poets (male and female) were present.
Cook county alone contributing 40 per cent,
of that number. When the Indiana dele
gation marched into the hall, bearing a
splendid banner, upon which appeared the
words "No Lordship business or foreign
nonsence in ours7 the cheering was deaf
ening, and the enthusiasm reached even a
higher pitch when, a few moments later,
tho Wisconsin delegation came in singing
"Yankee Doodle."
Mr. Wbyte read the call for the meeting
and then asked what tbe pleasure of thosj
present might be. "We need a president, a
secretary and about a dozen vice-presidents,"
said he.
Prof. W. Shakspeare Hodges, ' of Mud
bank. Ind., read a list of nominations,
which Vernon V. Sraythe, of Terre
Haute, seconded." Amid" much confus
ion Rosetti Baxter, of North Tripe
ville. Wis., said that the list of nomi
nations submitted by Professor Hodges was
composed of Indiana litterateurs only: was
no other part of tbe Union to havo a show?
Mrs. Susan Majoribanks, tbe Sappho of
Blue Island, suggested that- the temporary
chairman, Mr. Wbyte, be empowered to ap
point tbo permanent officers. Applause.
A majority favoring this proposition. Mr.
WTbyte, after expressing gratitude for this
wholly unexpected tribute? of confidence,
produced a paper from his vest pocket and
read:
For President: Doolittle Savage? of Tolnt-of-Rocks,
Mich. Great applause.l
Secretary: ft olf gang Gue tho Browne, of Genoa
Junction, Wis.
Vice-presidents: Schiller Newman, of Cordu
roy, Ind.; W. Henry Fralcy, of Red Bnd, la,;
Mrs. Mosea Corker, of Grass Lake. Mien.; Miss Mi
nerva Bailey, of Napoleon, Neb.; Walter 8. Potts,
of Bear Lake, Minn.: Robert Browning Skinner,
of Iloodhouse, 111.; Ilarry 8necd, ot Aurora, 111.;
Mrs. Scniiramido Browne, of Dingier, la.; P. J.
O'Flynn, of Terre Haute, Ind.; Miss Gloriana
Mumps, of Cairo, III.; Georsre W. Bassett, of
Lone Jack, 8. D., and Longfellow fciinpson, of
Grass Seed, Ind.
These nominations were ratified duly,
but not until several delegates expressed
surprise and regret that the distinguished
name of Kirke White Baker, the inspired
author of the immortal "Ode to a Sucking
Calf," had not been included in tbe list of
Vice-presidents.
"We have a serious duty to perform,"
said President Savage, upou mounting the
platform. "We have reached a crisis in
American literatnre and it is for us to
determine whether we shall now and for
over shake off' the shackles of British
bossism. Who is this man -Tennyson? A
British lord, to be sure, and a poet of promi
nence in his own country; but what sort of
a show would he havo in our great and
progressive West, where genlns is as thick
and as rich as tbo loamy soi I of these prairies,
and whero poets are as numerous as the
stars tbat stud the empyrean vault. Tre
mendous applause. Mr. Tennyson would
not be in it with ns. I see before me at
least three thousand gifted poets of one sex
and another, each of whom is qualified to
write muoh better poetry than Mr. Tenny
son ever presumed to write. Yet some offi
cious figurehead of the world's fair man
agement has hadithe presumption to write
over to England, asking this man Tennyson
to contribute a poem to the opening exer
cises of the fair! Shall we submit to this
insult! Shall a conspicous honor be ladled
out to foreign mediocrity while home talent
wallows in the soup!" Applause and sen
sation. Miss Cicely Boyd, of Keoknk, la., ex
pressed the hope that, having assembled
for reformatory purposes, the poets of the
mighty West would manifest their disap
proval of tbe dastardly policy pursued by
the Eastern magazines. IApplause.1 "1
recently forwaraed to the Century a beau
tiful poem of nineteen stanzas entitled
'Thoughts Suggested by Seeing a Deserted
Bird's Nest in a Maple Tree.' They sent it
back, saying it was not available. Then I
handed it to Harper's, and a 31 r. Hon ells
returned it with a letter saying that they
did not print humorous poetry. Next I
tried in on Lippincott's. theu the Atlantic,
the North American Review and five other
magazines, but they all sent it back, and I
finally had to pay $2 to get it piinted in a
Keokuk paper. Are we going to submit to
this kind of discrimination? The maga
zines print poetry every month that isn't
nearly as good as mine. The fault seems
to be tbat tbo magazines are conspiring
to crush Western talent, and I for one be
lieve that it is high time for us Western
producers to kick!" Applause.
Remarks indorsing Miss Boyd's views
were made by Whittier Cutler, of Cicero
township; Cauliflower J. Browne, the
badger bard, and several dialect poets from
Indiana, but the discussion was rudely in
terrupted by President Savage, who sug
gested that the meeting had been called
for the express and single purpose of de
claring the mighty .West's disapproval of
Lord Tennyson.
Professor Whyte, addressing the con
course, said he had read very little of Lord
Tennyson's work in fact, to be more ex
plicit, be had read none of it alb He made
up hia mind years ago that life was too
short to read all tbe poetry going, bo he de
termined to read that poetry only which
was made west of the Allegheny mount
ains. Great applause. Still, he was able
to pass an intelligent opinion of
Tennyson's merits, for on various
social occasions ho had heard Tenny
son's poems sung viz., "Beware." "The
Brook," "Come Into the Garden, Mainl
and precious poor stuff they were, too, said,
he. It is pretty generally conceded in the,
West that our prairies fairly bristle with
poetry, our woods are full of them and our
lakes teem with them. We are a country,
of poets; poetry oozes out of us just as nat
urally as sap trickles out of a sugar maple.
Why, then, should we apply to Great
Britain for an article which we . have, in
greater quantity and of better quality right
bere at bomeT "I, for one." continued the
Professor, "resent the insult put upon us
by the world's fair management, ana in the
name of one million poets 1 demand the
adoption of tbe preamble and resolutions I
shall now read:
Whereas. One Tennyson, a British lord, has
been Importuned by certain persons to contribute
to the dedicatory exercises of the Columbian ex
position a poem; and.
Whereas. 8aid Tennyson has never heretofore
done aught toward the development, benefit, de
fense or delectation of American institutions and
peoples; and.
Whereas, There are already in this country,
and particularly in the West, better poets than
said Tennyson ever presumed to be, therefore
islt
Resolved, That said Tennyvm should not be
suffered to contribute any poem whatsoever to
said Columbian exposition; fjid, furthermore, it
is declared and .
Resolved, That tbe said tnlicitation of said
Tennyson to contribute said poem was a piece of
calm effrontery, which, .if It be not a crafty de
vice to obtain the autograph of said lord, is a
studied insult to millions of native poets, male
and female alike; and.
Resolved. That if there bo any poems made
for the Columbian exposition they be made by
home talent, which, we hold and shall ever main
tain, is not liable under our tariff laws to compe
tition on the part of foreigners.
Resolved. That copies of this instrument bo
duly laid before our national Confrres and the
several boards of managers professing to have
the interests of the Columbian exposition at
bert and ia hand.
An eloquent speech in support of these
resolutions was made by the venerable
Euphrates Briggs, of Fast Sagiuaw, Mich.
"1 have been a poet for more than sixty
yeas." said he, "and I have penned thou
sands of poems. When I heard of this Ten
nyson affair mv blood fairly boiled in my
veins. What, I asked myself, have us
poets done that wo should be set aside for
this egotistical sprig of British nobility!"
Tho aged bard went on to say that he felt
Earticularly embittered against Tennyson
ecauso many years ago he had sent Tenny
son an autograph copy of his volume ol love
iv poems entitled "Idylls ot the Shmgle
World." and had requested one of Tenny
son's books in exchange; but Tennysou
never sent the book, nor, in fact, paid any
attention whatever to the graceful act of
his Michigan contemporary.
Miss Gloriant Mumps announced thatshn
contemplated founding, a magazine at

Cairo, 111. It would be entitled "Prairie
Bloom; a Periodical Patronizing and Pro
moting Prose, Poetry and Pork." Tbe fair
editor hoped that the mighty West would,
rally to tno support of this home etterprise,
She also hoped that the poets and authors
would favor her with their contributions.
For a time she would not be able to pay
cash for poems, but she would give each
poet who sent her a poem a com oilmen tary
notice in the magazine and would print his
or her name in black letters in the pros
pectus. Applause.
Coriolanus Stebbins. the well-known min
nesinger of Goose Creek, announced that he
had written a poem since entering the hall.
He was addicted to spells of this kind.
When tbe poetic spirit came to him he
could not resist it be had to write. So per
mission was accorded Mr. Stebbins, and
amid constant cheering he read a long poem
which began in this wise:
As I sit here in this corner.
My cheeks are all aflame
At the stigma of dishonor
Which is cast upon our name,
1 What's happened to oar dander.
And ain't there anyone
To resent the cruel slander
Of that British son of a gun,
Tennyson!
The president reminded the vast assem
blage tbat no disposition had been made of
the resolutions submitted by Professor
Whyte. Thereupon, amid wild enthusi
asm, the resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
A committee, consisting of Longfellow
Simpson, of Indiana, Celeste Honoria
Bsggs, of Illinois, and J. Angleworm
Chump, of Michigan, was authorized to call
on the director-general of the Columbian
exposition, and advise him tbat it was the
wish of the Western poets that all poems
recited at the opening exercises of the
exposition should be in dialect.
The vast assemblage adopted resolutions
thanking the various railway companies
for allowing the delegates gratuitous use
of the several railway road-beds from their
homes to Chicago and return; and then an
adjournment was had, and the distinguished
company dispersed in every direction.

How Stories Vary.
Detroit Free Pres. ,
"Ah, hut this enow-fall is a grand thing
for the State of Michigan," be exclaimed as
the street car plowed its way down town.
Tn what respect!" asked a man with wet
feet.
"Great fertilizer, sir. Every pound of
snow contains 21? percent, of ammonia.
This snow will increase the wheat crop by
three bushels to the acre. Fino thing very
line." ,
A little man near him was observed to
take out a pencil and make some notes on
one of his cutfs, and twenty minutes later
as he dropped off the car at tho City Hall
and met an acquaintance he cheerily called
out:
"Ah, but this snow is a great thing for
Michigan."
"I dont see it," growled the other.
You don't? Why, it's the greatest fer
tilizer in the world. Every pound of snow
contains 22 per cent, of camphor and the
yield will be increased by two or three
bushels per acri."
Oh, it willl All right then and I won't
kick," replied the other as he moved away
to give a pointer to some one else.
Odds and Ends.
A trial was made of spreading manure,
upon tbe ground late in tbe fall, also of
leaving it in small heaps on the land in the
fall and spreading it early in'the spring.
A bureau sachet is made of India silk,
plain, and tufted profusely with narrow
ribbon or figured silk, when less ribbon is
required. It should be made as long as the
bureau-drawer, rilled with cotton perfumed
with sachet-powder. It may be fiuished
with a cord, or with a "shell pattern" cro
cheted in silk, the edges being hut button
holed. For persons who do not use mattings in
summer the following recipe is a good one
for coloring floors: Make a strong decoc
tion of the inside bark of red-oak; set it a
dark color with coporas. Have tho lioor
well wined and cleared of spots. Then with
a cloth rub and dye in well, tke care to
wipe ud and down the floor so as to prevent
streaking; let it dry; then wipe over with
weak lye; and as this dries oil' rub with a
waxed brush.
The "real Boston baked beans" served for
its Sunday morning breakfasts are cooked
thus: They are 6oaked during Friday
night in cold water. On Saturday morning
the water is changed and then gently par
boiled for two hours, then rinsed and put
in an earthen pot with a good sized piece ot
Cork with a lean streak in it. theu slowly
aked through the day and left in the oven
through the night, having plenty of water
in tbe pot dnring the process of cocking.
The following processes are each recom
mended for the relief of chilblains: Place
the foot before as hot a lire as can be borne;
keen the raw face of the half onion sprin
kled liberally with salt, and rub the chil
blain gently some minutes, letting the tire
dry tho onion juice and salt in. Keptat sev
eral nights. If sulierer will take equal parts
ot sal ammonia and rock salt, dissolre it
in water, make as strong as possible, ap
ply to the chilblains two or threo times a
day as hot as he or she can bear It, this
will make a permanent cure if used for a
few days.
