8 SAINT PAUL. THE GOSSIPEK. So much Is being said now about flressed beef, inspection on the hoof, etc., that it will be interestine to know how many cattle have passed through the Saintly City stock yards. Up to the present time the movement of Western cattle has been very heavy, and the sum total of the number passed through the yards is 15.000 head. Some of the beeves are being killed here, but the majority goes onward and eastward to the Kreat markets of Chicago. All the cat tle are being shipped in the patent stock or stable cars, and consequently fare very well. Of the number above mentioned, the Milwaukee road has car ried a 5 per cent, the Kansas [City 20 per cent, the Omaha 25 per cent, and the balance distributed among the various ether roads. That the State Fair is to open can be easily guessed by seeing the many country visitors in the city, and the sell ing of a large amount of peanuts and lemonade. Now is tlie time, with a strong emphasis on the "the," that young men and women will saunter up and down the streets holding each other by the hand, and chewing pop corn for all they are worth. The hotels are already beginning to fill up, and pretty soon there •will be "standing room only." Now, while the Fair is just as near the heart of the city of Minneapolis as It is St. Paul, it is somewhat more of b local affair, and looked upon by St. Paulites as a home institution, and country people come to St. Paul to Etay while they attend it. To-night St. Paul will be in a blaze of glory, as the colored street lights will have all been In place. How different in Minneap olis! That city has the Exposition, a permaneut institution and a heavy expense, yet there are no street illuminations there because the new retrenchment and reform admin istrations failed to see the benefit. But the visitor is the one who sees the ben efit, as he walks up the streets of St. Iii ii l, under the glare of thousands of colored lights, while in Minneapolis ev en thing is as bare and gloomy as the interior of Shingle creek tunnel. 'Twas not always so. and should not be so now. The Xicollet avenue illumination . was once a sight worth going miles to see. Although the city hall is a brand new thing, it is found necessary once in a while to make changes and improve ments. The deputy clerks of the munic ipal court were all moved from their room next to the court roots yesterday afternoon, and given space in a large and well ventilated apartment across from the chief of police's office. The room occupied by them before will be used for a sort of a reception room where female witnesses and the better class of female prisoners awaiting trial can be received and en tertained as it were. Across the way is the men's reception room. That will soon be petitioned off with iron bars reachine from the floor to the ceiling, so that guests who are waiting to be enter ti.ined by Judge Burr can remain there all day and wait for theii turn without undergoing the mortifying Indignity of being taken back to the station in the wagon. The amiable ex-Gov. A. P. Swineford, •f Alaska, was at the Ryan yesterday. The ex-srovernor now lives in Juneau, although formerly he made Sitka his home. While the ex-governor is not a stranger to the people of .St. Paul by any means, as he visits the city quite often, still his views on public matters are so sound and generally correct that it is of interest to hear what he has to say. In discussing the sub ject of the recent seizures of British seal -poachers by Ameri can vessels in the Behring sea, to a Globe reporter he remarked: "This poaching on the closed sea of Behring is an outrage, and the United States is only asserting her rights by protecting her property from encroachment. If this wholesale slaughter of the seal were allowed, seal furs would soon be come a thing of the past and the seal itself as scarce as the American bison." (Joy. Swineford thinks the future of Alaska is a bright one, or at least would Im> bright, if only some other method for administering its affairs could be inau gurated. Congress, he thought, took very little interest in the territory. He was of the opinion that a land act ought to be passed and that representation should be given the country. Now, with the exception of mining claims, no one can take up land. * • There is certain French music teacher In this city, who in France was a count or the protege of a count, or something like that, who i? addicted to the use of the seductive and exhilarating absinthe drink. His friends have been trying to break him of the habit, but have met with poor success. Their method of causing him to swear off was a very ri^id and novel one, and a very, very expensive one to the vic tim himself. They would watch him as vigorously as a detective coald do, and whenever they found him in dulging in his favorite drink would cause his arrest on the charge of drunk enness. His fines in the police court . would range all of the way from ilO to 125. and so vigilant were his friends, and so often would he sip his absinthe, that he found it necessary to pay those lines about four times a week, liis money was finally all used up in paying fines, and the police judge Legan t'> get tired of his persistent regularity in appear ing before him to be fined, 60 the last time he appeared crestfallen and peni tent. His escape from the workhouse was a narrow one. All this time he never tumbled to the racket being worked on him by his friends. They have dropped him now and he drinks his absinthe in peace. A very tough man from Toughtown registered at the Windsor the other day and was shown to a room. He was nuder the influence of a great deal of booze, in fact, he had several large sized "jags" aboard. In a few moments be came down Into the office again and inquired of the clerk where "deshootin' gallery" was, indicating by a motion of bis finger toward his mouth that he wanted a drink. After he had been shown the "shootin' gal lery, he came out and begun kicking in a vigorous way because no body had been sent up to his room to wasii him and comb his hair. The clerk informed him that there was no one em ployed there for that purpose, as all the guests had to wash themselves and comb their own hair. That made him mad, so. after raising the dickens in general around the office, he departed for the "shootiu' gallery" again, and forgot to come back. • * Judging from the many applicants for the position of secretary of the school board, times must be fearful hard.— Not a single gentlemen in the Sioux Falls delegation would admit that any other city in the state beside their own Btood a show for the capital— Ed. Cham plin, deputy clerk of the district court. Las had his whiskers shorn off, and bis brother clerks will ask him t» resign in consequence -Bailiff Patterson thinks the mayor's office is being corrupted when it is turned into a collecting agency— The furniture for the mayor's reception room has now been set, mak ing the apartments a veritable piece of art. Chickens must be a scarce commodity In Montana, as a whole carload of these gallinaceous fowls passed through the city yesterday, en route for Butte City. They came on the Kansas City road and were shipped from Charles City. 10. They were all fed while waiting at the stock yards for a transfer to the Mani toba road, and it took seven bushels to satisfy them. Just imagine the terrible crowing and cackling that emanated from that car. It seemed as if the en tire c,ooo were endeavoring to see which Could cackle the loudest. Resignation of Key. Mills. The city board of Episcopal missions have held a meeting, when the resigna tion of Rev. S. Mills, of St. Peter's mis sion church, was formally tendered and accepted. The resignation will take effect Nov. 1. It is very improbable that Mr. Mills will accept tfie Tower mission, an effort having been instituted to retain him in St. Paul. The St. Peter's mission is to be amalgamated with tiiat of St. James', and White Bear Beach for the support of a pastor. It is also intended that St. Peters will be created a separate parish at the close of the present church year. FROM A SISTKR STATE. Sioux Falls Merchants and Offi cials Guests in the City. There were any number of Dakota men in the city yesterday. The Sioux Falls Commercial club, together with the city officials of that able-bodied as pirant for capital honors, arrived in the city at noon from Duiuth, and were en tertained by the members of the cham ber of commerce and jobbers' union. The party arrived here in a special train on the Eastern Minnesota, which should have reached here at 6:80 in the morning, but at Elk river an open switch caused the derailment of the train, and the excursionists were forced to await the arrival of the regular Man itoba. No one was injured by the acci dent, but several were badly shaken up. Arriving at St. Paul, the party was met by Secretary Tallmadge, of the chamber of commerce, Acting Mayor Yoerg and several aldermen and mem bers of the jobber's union. The entire party— some eighty in all— was taken to the Merchants', and dinner was had. The names of them all occupy three full pages of the register. Aside from the commercial club members, there are the following city officials: Mayor W. E. Willey. City Treasurer G. B. Sim mons, City Attorney A. Fuzzel, Chief of Police Donahue, Fire Warden Harring ton, Chief Engineer J. F. Jackson, Health Officer Olney, Sheriff John Sun back, and Aid. Mark Bridge. J. M. Mc- Clellan, J. G, Strahan, J. B. Watson and Thomas McKinnon. The Commercial club list is a large one and includes the following well known business men: C. E. Baker, F. L. Boyce. T. H. Brown, A. Bfueredge, C. S. Carr. E. \V. Caldwell, J. B. Clark, L. J. Daniels. F. A. Edmison, E. En gleson, W. C. Hollister, W. 11. Holt, C. F. Irvine, H. 11. Keith, J. T. Little Jr., J. S. Lewis, W. 11. Lyon, E. G. Ledyard, C. E.

Baker, of the club, has charsre of the excursion, and the hand somely uniformed Knights of Pythias band furnishes the music. Each one of the excursionists wears a handsome yellow-silk badge, fastened to the lappel of the coat by a beautifully burnished pieceof jasper stone made iiltoa pin. The city of Sioux Falls is paved with this same kind of stone, and the citizens of that place believe in showing the world how enterprising they are and what a beautiful city they have. At 2 o'clock the visitors were driven about the city in carriages, after which they took in the various public build ings. The new court house and city hall was visited by many ot them, and they all expressed themselves as being certain that it was almost if not as nice as their own, and that they rather liked the musical ding dong of the clock bells. To-day the visitors will visitors will visit Minneapolis and return home in the evening. THE NEW RULES Under Which the Commissioners Will Inspect Private Elevators. In the Dast the state grain inspection department has been inspection and weighing grain out of private ware houses at a loss. Yesterday the rail road commissioners held a meeting to determine whether the inspection of private warehouses should be con tinued, and. if so, determine a more equitable basis upon which to do the work. Messrs. E. J. Carglll, represent ing Elevator X, and D. R. Putnam, rep resenting Elevator X of Minneapolis, were present, and the commissioner? had the services of Chief Grain In spector Clausen. The result of their deliberation is the following report,pre pared by Mr. Clausen : Acting under authority granted by warehouse law and for the purpose of executing in a systematic and proper manner the work of inspection and weighing of grain out <>f store at the terminal points, all warehouses at St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth shall be divided into two classes, viz: Public warehouses and private warehouses. Public warehouses shall comprise all warehouses that are duly bonded, licensed and operating uuder the pro visions of the law. Private warehouses shall comprise all those warehouses, at the terminals, not included in the preceding class. The method of conducting the busi ness of public warehouses, and the rules governing the departments of in spection, weighing and registration are similar to those already in operation. The inspection and weighing of grain out of private warehouses call for the following newly adopted rules: The inspection and weighing service will oe granted to private warehouse men at the terminal points, only upon written application to the railroad and warehouse commission, which applica tion shall set forth the location and name and capacity of the warehouse at which such service is desired, and the individual name of each person in terested as owner, or principal in the management of the same, or if managed or owned by a corporation, the name of the president, secretary and treasurer, shall be stated in said application, and the notice and extent of the service de sired shall also be stated. Upon the approval of such applica tion by the railroad and warehouse commission, the said service of inspec tion, or both, if granted, will be regarded as special work, and will be extended only upon such special terms, conditions and arrangements as will not interfere with nor impair in any man ner the efficiency of the regular work upon the tracks, or at the public ele vators, and which will insure to the de partment proper compensation for the time and labor involved in the work. In the inspection of grain from pri vate warehouses, the inspection deoart ment will be governed by the general standard of grades in force at the public warehouses, and no grain will be al lowed to pass inspection that is not fully up to the general average quality of the different grades coining out from the regular bins of the public warehouses. Samples of standard grades will be furnished by the chief deputy inspector upon application. The inspection department neither claims nor assumes any supervision of grain stored in a private warehouse, and no claim based upon any previous in spection of grain before unloading into such private warehouse will be enter tained by the department. All scales upon which grain is weighed by a state weigher in private warehouses shall be subject to examina tion and test at all times by any duly authorized weighmaster or sealer of weights and measures. These rules go into effect the 15th inst. FLAX IS A GKAIN, And as Such is Subject to State Inspection. Assistant Attorney General Childs yesterday gave, as his opinion, that flax seed came under the term of "grain," and therefore was amenable to inspec tion by the state railroad and ware house commissioners. The commission ers desired this opinion, because of the action by D. W. Reed, of Minneapolis, who has been acting as private inspec tor tor receivers of flax seed. Accord ing to Mr. Childs' opinion, this is an in fringment of the functions of the in spection department, and so tor. Ueed's occupation will be gone. He will either THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1889. have to desist, or lay himself open to a prosecution by the commissioners. It is only a few weeks ago that the latter officials declared that flax seed did not come under their jurisdiction. STRAIGHT CITY BUSINESS Occupied the Council— The One Veto Sustained— Routine Blat ters. Several members of the visiting dele gation from Sioux Falls occupied seats in the chamber during the adjourned session of the common council last night. W. E. Willey, mayor of Sioux Falls, was invited to a seat of honor be side Chairman Yoerg. A communica tion from Acting Mayor Yoerg, vetoing | the Lockey-Moor street railway ordi nance, was the first matter of business taken up. The acting mayor's veto was sustained by a unanimous vote. S. P. Folsom presented a bill against the city for 52.500, the amount claimed for at torney's fees as assistant counsel to the city attorney during the incumbency of William Pitt Murray. The bill was re ferred to the committee on claims. A petition, largely sigued by property owners of the Midway district, asking for the widening ot Selby avenue between Dale street and Fairview avenue, was read by the city clerk. A resolution by Aid. Sanborn, providing for the widening of the street to a width of eighty feet, was referred to the board of public works with the petitions for the iinpiovement and a protest aaainst it, signed by thirty Dro perty owners. A communication was received from the Lookey-Moore company, in "which they agree to relinquish all claim to Sixth street, on condition that another route through the business district be given them. The matter had been dis posed of by the veto of their ordinance, but the communication was referred to the committee on streets. A resolution was passed authorizing the city treasur er to draw a warrant for $4,804.36 in favor of the Minnesota Transfer com pany, the amount of the city's propor tion of the University avenue bridge. The contract awarded to Louis E. Sheply several months ago, by the board of public works for the paving of West Seventh street, between Ramsey and Tuscarora streets, was approved. Owing to opposition by several of the aldermen to the improvement, the councils approval of the contract has been considered doubtful, the matter having been indefinitely postponed re peatedly. Their action was unanimous. TIIE MIDWAY SEWEK. By a unanimous vote of the council, in accordance with the report of the board of public works, a final order was passed for the construction of the great Midway sewer, the estimated cost of which is 8150.333. The system embraces sewers on University avenue, fromLyn hurst avenue to Fairview avenue; on Ly n hurst avenue west, from Feronia avenue to University avenue; on Fer onia avenue, from Prior avenue to Fair view avenue; on Bremer avenue, from University avenue to Waltliam avenue; on Prior avenue, from Feronia avenue to Carroll street; on St. Anthony ave nue, from Cleveland avenue to Ferdi nand street; on Milwaukee avenue, from Astoria avenue to Merriam place: on Merrlam place, from Milwaukee avenue to Prior avenue; on Rondo street, from Terrace Park avenue to Fairview ave nue; on Carroll street, from Wilder ave nue to Fairview avenue: on lglehart street, from Cleveland avenue to Fair view a venue ; on Cleveland avenue, from Rondo street to Marshall avenue; on Wilder avenue, from St. Anthony ave nue to lglehart street: on Moore ave nue, from Carroll street to Marshall avenue; on Marshall avenue, from Fair view avenue to the Mississippi river. Benefited property will be assessed $74,305 for tne improvement, while the balance, $6,028, will be borne from the general sewerage fund. FIRE DEPARTMENT EXPENSES. A communication was received from the board of fire commissioners trans mitting a statement showing the ap propriation necessary for the mainten ance of the fire department for the year ending September, 1890. Tne estimates are as follows: Salaries $177,600 Fuel 8.000 Feed 7.500 Engine house repairs .. 2.<»00 Apparatus repairs.... 2,i>00 Replacement of hose 4,00(1 Fire alarm telegraph 2,000 Maintenance 25,000 Total $828,100 Considerable discussion was caused by the introduction of a resolution by Aid. Sanborn instructing the city clerk to send copies of all orders for stone and cement sidewalks to the city engineer the morning after their passage by the council. Aid. Blom held that such ac tion would prevent property owners from contracting for the construction of their own sidewalks, and refused to vote for the resolution. Aid. Gehan was of the same opinion. The resolution was defeated on a tie vote. MISCELLAXEOUS. The report of the board of public works on the preliminary order for the construction of a sewer on Kobie and other streets. West St. Paul, was rere ferred to the board. The committee on police offered a re solution refunding to Michael Sham, city dog catcher, the fine of $25 recently imposed in the municipal court for an assault upon a Dayton's bluff woman, the trouble having occurred while Scharn was attending to his official duties. The resolution was opposed by Aid. Sanborn and Cullen, and was fin ally referred to the chairman of the committee on police, with instructions to confer with the judge who imposed the fine. Ordinances and resolutions were passed as follows: Authorizing the payment of $19,400 to C. L. Strobel, the high bridge builder, the same being the amount of penalties deducted by the city comptroller for his failure to finish the bridge within the speci fied time; authorizing Archbishop John Ireland to grade Grand avenue, from Fairview avenue to Courtland street, at his own expense; to change the name of Lawrence street to Bates avenue; fixing the salary of Henry Gal vin, sergeant-at-arms of the council, at $300 per year; to grade Burr street, be tween Minnehaha and Whitali streets; to more clearly define the rate of tare in the supplementary ordinance authoriz ing the construction of the Selby ave nue cable line extension. NO FEAR OF COMPETITION. The Western Union Will Continue to Do Business at the Old Stand. New Tokk, Sept. s.— President Green, of the Western Union telegraph company says he has not completed any arrangements with the postmaster gen eral looking to the establishment of a postal telegraph system. The fact of the matter is that Postmaster General Wanamaker has an idea that he can utilize his free delivery system to ad \t itasre In handling and delivering messages. "I do not think such a thing is possible," said Dr. Green, "as I am not aware that it is his intention of em ploying a separate force to transact the telegraph portion of the business. 1 be lieve he has talked with other telegraph men besides myself." Dr. Green said that it was the intention of Mr. Wana maker to connect all the postoffices in the country and receive and deliver messages just the same as a telegraph company. The idea was to obtain these wires from the telegraph company and pay the company a percentage of the receipts from the business handled. The Western Union would continue business at the old stand, and one of the advantages to them if the arrangement is completed, will be the saving of terminal expenses. The postoffice tele graph department would, of course, en deavor to do business at a lower rate than that which is now charged, but he had no fear of this competition and, in fact, seemed to ignore entirely the idea that the government would successfully cope with his company in the telegraph field. Dr. Green did not think that they would get any business except in places where the Western Union had no office and very little there. The serv ices, he thought, would be second class. C. G. Kolfl", Coal, 69 E. 4th St. DISCIPLES OF KNOX, Celebration of the Founding of the Presbyterian Church in America. President Harrison Attends and Is Warmly Welcomed by Keystone Statesmen. Tennent's Old Log: Cabin From Which the Princeton In stitution Sprang 1 . Interesting 1 Exercises on the Old College Grounds in Bucks County. Log College Gbounds, Pa., Sept. 5. —The old log college celebration, under the auspices of the Presbytery of Phila delphia, North, was held to-day on the old Tennent farm, near Hartsville, Bucks county. Pa., where the college was originally located. The farm is about twenty miles from Philadelphia. The exercises of the day were really commemorative of the founding of the Presbyterian church in the United States. The log college was established in 1726 by William Tennent, and flour ished until 1T42, when Princeton college was founded, and it may be said that the Princeton Institution of learning sprang up from the primitive college es tablished by Tennent. When to-day's celebration was first talked of President Harrison promised to attend, and he has kept that promise by coming here to-day, accompanied by Postmaster, General Wanamaker. Mrs. Harrison, Rev. J. W. Scott and Private Secretary Halford. The president and party ar rived from Washington last evening, and spent the night at Mr. AVanama ker's country home at Jenkintown. Early this morning the presidential party started for the place where the exercises were held, driving In car riages over the old York road, a distance of about eight miles. The route along which the party traveled was rROFTJSELY DECOHATED WITII FLAGS and bunting, the farm houses, fences and trees showing evidences of the peo ple's intention to make the president's journey memorable. Tents had been erected on the Tennent farm, and an immense crowd from the surrounding country and Philadelphia, and including prominent Presbyterian divines from all over the country, was present. A long programme of exercises had been arranged, divided into two parts, and at 11:20 the services of the day were opened by the reading of a verse of Scripture" by Rev. Joseph Beggs, D. D., of the Falls of Schuylkill, Philadelphia. Then followed a prayer by Rev. L. W. Eckard, of Abbington, Pa., to whose energetic work the success of to-day's celebration was due. At 11 :50 the pres ident, leaning on the arm of Mr. Wana maker, entered tho large tent, and was given A MOST ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME. They were followed by others of the party, and all took front seats on the raised Dlatform. The ladies of the party were all dressed very handsomely, aud carried beautiful bouquets. President Harrison's journey was one continued ovation. The entire eight miles of road was lined with people and cheering was frequent. Gov. Beaver who was also of the party, came in for a generous ovation at the hands of the audience when he ascended the platform. As soon as the party were seated the first paper of the day was read by Rev. D. K. Turner, of Harts\i*.le, Pa., descrip tive of the founding of the Log college and the useful career of its founder. He was followed by Rev. R. A. Patter son, D. D., LL. I)., of Philadelphia, editor of the Presbyterian, who de livered an address on "Log College Evangelists." Rev. Francis T. Patton, president of the Princeton college, was next on the programme for an address, but owing to the death of his son, he was unable to be present, but Rev, Dr. Murray, dean of Princeton, college de livered a spirited address in his place, next came Rev. Richard Mcllwaine. D. D., LL. IX, president of the Hamden Sydney College, Virginia, who read a paper on "influence of the Log College in the South." At the conclusion of this address President HARRISON WAS INTRODUCED. The assemblage at this time num bered 25,000 or more, and this audience arose en-masse and repeatedly cheered the president as lie came to the front of the platform.President Harrison, when the applause ceased so he could be heard, spoke substantially as follows: I have had illustrated to me here to-day one of the consistent grades and tenets of the Presbyterian church. Nothing, I assure you, short of a robust embodiment of the doctrine of the perseverance of the sulnts in the per son of our distinguished brother, the chair man, who has just Introduced me, could have overcome the difficulties which seems to be in tee way of those who attend celebra tions. I have als» had illustrated to me, I re gret to say, another of the results of persist ent Presbyterianipm. I never at auy time promised to make any address here today. [Laughter] 1 never authorized nny one to say so. There are many embarrassing things to be encountered in this life, among them there is none more embarrassing than being associated in the platform or sitting at the table next to gentlemen with manuscripts iv their pockets when one is not similarly pro vided. [Oreat laughter.] I thank you for your hospitable TREATMENT OP ME AND MINB today, ainl I must Bay I take much pleasure in being here, for every impulse of honest pride which stirs your neurts move mine. I am glad to stand here at the source of a great movement. I have ?een ihe Mississippi pour ing ont of its enormous gulf, and 1 have had the pleasure of standing at the source of the great Missouri, but what is the force and en ergy employed by these rushing streams when compared with the movement inaug urated here? [Applause.] lam plad to be here to help celebrate one of those great im pulses springing from a small beginning, and yet how far reaching iv its results and effects. 1 don"t want unduly to exalt the Presbyterian church, and yet I thiuk historians, who have beeu untouched by partisanship, testify that it has been magnificently pressed inward. Let us take no backward steps. Let us con tinue to merit the favor of God, and do His work until the world shall cease to move. Steadfastness is our characteristic, our ene mies have called it obstinacy, and there are occasions when even that trait and that char acteristic have Its services. Let us, my friends, continue to be steadfast to the faith nurtured and streneihened on this sacred spot" In concluding his address the presi dent said: "Let me kindly thank you for this most & CORDIAL AND BROTHEBLT QREETIXG. Let me wish that this day will close as auspieiouslv as it has opened. Let me hope that the scholarly addresses which you have heard read from manuscript [laughter] con vey new thoughts to your miuds, ana that you carry away from here pleasant recollec tions of the day's celebration." At the close of the president's ad dress there was a scene of wild excite ment for five minutes, men and women cheering and waving handerchiefs and In other ways demonstrating their ap proval of the chief executive's senti ments. After singing the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," the morning exercise closed at 1:30 o'clock, the president and party were escorted to a special tent prepared for them, where a bountiful lunch was spread. The tent was beautifully decorated with flowers, and, in addition to the presidential party, all the prominent members of the Presbytery were there. About three quarters of an hour was consumed at the table. The luuch was entirely informal, and at its conclusion the president, Mrs. Harrison and Rev. Mr. Scott entered their carriage and started back to Mr. Wanamaker's at Jenkin town at 2:20 o'clock. The vast assemb lage gathered around the carriage and cheered the president as he drove off. It is understood that President Harri son will remain there until to-morrow, when he will return to Washington, where he will remain until Monday and then go to Deer Park. Mrs. Harrison wili remain the guest of Mrs. Wana inaker until Monday, when she will go direct to Deer Park from Jenkintown. The departure of the president did not seem to lessen the size of the crowd, in fact, the attendance at the afternoon session was, if anything, larger than in the morning. It was nearly 3 o'clock when the chairman called the assem blage to order, and after a hymn and prayer, Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, D. D., of Newville, Pa., delivered an address on "Presbyterians of the Cumberland Valley." Gov. Beaver was next intro dnced, and when he advanced to the front he was greated with prolonged cheers. The governor produced from his pocket a typewritten manuscript, from which he proceeded to read an ad dress eulogistic of the log college and its founders. At its conclusion the sec retary announced that Rev. Dr. Samuel Alexander, of >«ew York, who was in vited here to-day, but could not come, had sent instead a letter, MOTH-EATEN AND YELLOW with age, written by Gilbert Tennent, a son of the founder of the college, in 1757, and which has been in possession of Dr. Alexander's family for over a century. When this relic was ex hibited by the chairman it provoked loud applause. Next Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker was introduced, and he, too, came in foe an outburst of ap- Elause. After some reference to the i9toric associations of the locality in which the celebration was held. Mr. Wanamaker closed by suggesting the rebuilding of the old "college in aform as nearly resembling the original as possible as a memorial of Tennent, Whitfield and the early Presbyterian heroes. President Knox, of Lafayette college, next delivered an address, and after several other short addresses the celebration ended at 6 o'clock by the pronunciation of the benediction by Rev. J. W. Scott, the venerable father of Mrs. Harrison. The immense as semblage slowly dispersed as though loth to leave the spot dear to the hearts of all Presbyterians, but all were finally homeward bound. and the most memora ble day in the history of Bucks county, and one which will long be remembered by those present was brought to a close.

The Cincinnnti Waterways Con vention Says the Mississippi and Its Tributaries Must Be Ira proved. Cincinnati, Sept. s.— Promptly at 10:30 B. D. Wood, chairman of the exe cutive committee, called to order the meeting of the delegates to the Water ways convention at the Scottish Rite cathedral. He announced that Tempo rary Chairman Holman had unexpect edly been called from the city, and could not attend the remaining meet ines. Chairman Nathaniel Frank, of Missouri, read the report of the com mittee on credentials*, showing twelve states were represented by delegates. Adopted unanimously. Mr. Robinson then read the report of the committee on permanent organization, presenting the following officers: Permanent chairman, ('apt. C. M. llolloway, of Cin cinnati. Permanent secretary, Edwin Stevens, of Cincinnati ; assistant secre taries, J. W. Bryant, of New Orleans; K. J. Barbonr, of Kentucky; E. A. Keat ing, of Memphis. "Vice presidents, Capt. J. H.

Danna, of West Virginia; William Robinson, of Louisiana. Permanent Chairman Hol loway then took the chair and thanked the convention in a brief speech. The report on rules arid order of business was then submitted. It sets forth that the deliberation of the convention be confined to the improvement of naviga tion on the Ohio, Mississippi and Mis souri rivers and their tributaries. The committee on resolutions presented their report throueh their chairman, J. H. Murphy, of Missouri. The chair man prefaced the report by saying that after long deliberation the committee had arrived at a unanimous agreement with regard to the following resolutions: Resolved, That it is the sen ?e of thla con vention that the general welfare of the peo pie of the Mississippi valley and the entire country demands that the Mississippi river and its navigable tributaries be so im proved by the general government as to se cure to tiie people easy and safe navigation, as well as cheap transportation, and this convention hereby reaffirms the declarations made by the river improvement convention of I£Sl. at Washington, at New Orleans in 1885, and at Memphis in IMB7. That this convention deeply regrets the failure of congress to make the necessaryTap propri.ttions at its last session for continu ing the improvement of Western waterways. That we call upon congress, as the repre sentative of the people and the guardian of their interests and rights, to protect these great waterways, upon which it is expending large sums of money, from further injury or ruin through the construction of faulty or de fective bridges with numerous piers; and while we recognize the undoubted right of railroad companies and others to bridge a river, the right must be exercised without in juring its value and without impeding or periling its use, as the competition the river affords is the only guarantee of the people against excessive rates the river must be free and unrestricted. It is declared the duty of congress to im prove and protect all the waterways of the nation, where private individuals or corpora tions have assumed or secured by state action or otherwise privileges on such waterways to the injury of commerce; the removal of such obstructions is asked. That this convention heartily approves the connection of the waters of the Upper Ohio river with the great Northwest lake systems through the waters of Lake Erie by the con struction of a ship canal, if upon a survey the same be found practicable. The action of the executive committee on the improve ment of Western waterways was commended, and the committee requested to continue its work. Selected for Slaughter. Syracuse, N.

The Senatorial InvestigatingCom mittec Visits the btock Yards. • Chicago, Sept. s.— Senator Vest's committee, investigating the dressed beef business, visited the stock" yards to-day. On their return Senator Coke said: We saw no one of the gentlemen whose names have been coupled so frequently with the investigation. At Armour's establish ment, the only one we visited, we were met by a boy and shown all the different branches or the business. We then looked through a portion of the stock yards and came away. The committee. including Senator Plumb, of Kansas, who arrived to-day too late for the sitting in this city, started for Dcs Moines this evening. A telegram was received from Senator Manderson, stating that he was sick,but would endeavor to attend the Dcs Moines meeting. o COLOR IN HORSES. Some Speculations on Its Relation to the Special Qualities. Few subjects have attracted more at tention than this. The following, from an exchange, will be found interesting: "There is more in color or likeness in breeding all animals than most people imagine. In large herds of animals in their wild state colors vary little. There is often, so travelers have said, an odd colored stallion or two in wild herds of horses, and it is not uncommon to find an odd-colored stallion apparently the master of the troop. It is quite certain that this stallion does not get his own color, as the herd remains in its own originality. It has been said that the original color of the horse is chestnut, and there is evidence to show that of all of the eastern, or what is supposed to be the original blood, the color that has lasted the longest is chestnut, and that wnich has lasted the least is gray. The earliest numbers of the English Stud book give more grays than almost any color, but they have become scarcer and scarcer until now among stallions there is scarcely a gray horse in service in En gland. For a long time prejudice at tached to a white horse on account of the fabulous tradition that they could not stand the cold, because white was a non-conductor to heat, a hypothesis at once controverted by the fact that the Polar bears, which exist alone in the regions of eternal cold, and are happy no where cisc, are white. The same prejudice existed at one time against the black horse, on the other extreme; as black was a conductor of heat, a black horse would succumb to the ener vating heat of summer. In this age of the horse it is needless to say that the color of the horse has nothing to do with his constitution. France's Alexander, a coal black stallion, trotted one of the most c xhausting and prolonged ra^es against a held of six others on one of the hotest days in midsummer, and won it. Jay Eye See is a black, and surely there are none on the American turf superior to him in courage and en durance. Hopeful is a gray, and during his turf career he was the foremost horse on the trotting turf. He pulled a wagon and placed to his credit a credit for that way of going which has never been equaled. Charley Ford is another gray horse that was first in thirty-eight races, and trotted seventy-seven heats below 2:30. These two examples alone explode the theory that horses of a light color are usually of a weak constitu tion. Hermit, the great thoroughbred Eng lish sire, is a chestnut, while his sire is a bay of a particularly marked bay fam ily. Out of a score of soil ajid daugh ters of Hermit which have made their mark the majority are chestnuts. This same peculiarity marks the produce of the trotting sire Hambletonian Prince. Those of his get that have made their marks are of one color— namely, Billy Button, Helene, Peralto, Happy Trav eler. Although among trotters there are a large number of fast horses of various colors, the majority of dis tinguished horses are bays. The fast horses among which that color is prominent are legion. The di versity aid universality of color in horses is a piovision of nature, and the cause of it cannot oe evplaiued by finite minds. Why there should be more bay horses than brown, more brown than gray, more gray than black, is a prob lem that the human mind cannot solve. No more can it be explained why the union of a black sire with a gray dam may result in a bay, chestnut, brown, black or gray offspring, or why the union of the same color may pro duce the opposite color; one " is as likely to follow as the other. This is the most notable thing in the economy of nature. From the union with a black mare, Sorcerer the Euglish horougnbred, himself a black, pro duced eight black colts out of thirteen, and then being brtd to a chestnut mare, the color was a bay or a brown, and never a black or a brown, and never a black or chestnut. As the predominant color among horses two centuries ago seems to have been gray, it would not be without precedent if within the pe riod of two hundred years to come it would become the ruling color. Messenger, the reputed founder of the trotting family in Ameri ca, was a flea-bitten gray, and at a dis tance of two hundred yards from the fountain head the vast proportion of speed transmitted from him is concen trated in bays. Suppose that in three generations to come the great trotting element of the country should be repre sented in horses of gray color.olt would be remarkable, but not more so than it is now represented in horses of a bay color. Mature produces no greater phenomena than when in the animal kingdom she reaches back through the ages to produce special characteristics. POULTRY POINTERS. Details or Management Suggested by the Kxporience of a Breeder. With good management ducks can be made profitable. Now Is the best time to sell stock that you do not want. Where young roosters can be sold at a fair price the sooner they are disposed of the better, as they cost something to feed and bring more care. If chickens are hatched in the fall care must be taken to feed them well so as to keep them growing, or they will not prove profitable. A few fowls of the best quality in with a lot of mixed fowls will add noth ing to the market value of the rest. It should be remembered that the dif ferent kinds of food supplied not only affect the number of eggs if is possible to secure, but also the quality of the eggs. In very many cases it will be found profitable to whitewash the poultry house and yard once every mouth at least, especially in summer. Barrels cut in two make excellent nests, especially when they can be set on the ground. They are roomy, and if a good layer of straw is put in the bot tom, are better than boxes set on the ground. Fall-hatched chickens escape the heat, and, where the poultry are kept confined, will cost but little, if any, more than if hatched in the spring. Cut straw is a good material to throw over the floor of" the poultry house to scatter small grain among, so as to give the hens a good opportunity to scratch. Buckwheat and sunflower seed are both rich and stimulating fcods, and can be used to good advantage in feeding poultry that is being made ready for ex hibitions. Only a small quantity should be given at a time— a handfull to a dozen hens. It is Important at this time to provide good ventilation for the poultry bouses. The nights are warm and usually there is more poultry on the farm than at any other time: so it is necessary to see that Removal.
