Mvrly In tho United States, and Is n great admirer of Americans and Am erican Institutions. He Is even more democratic tJinn Mr. Gladstone, and his dearest political dream Is the formation of a federal government for England, lie Is tho prcsidt'nit nnd (bonder of rho Imperial Federation League, 1kiv1ii Imbibed his Idea from a study of th American constitution. His plan is the formation of a great group of home-ruling Stntes Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, all sending their Commoners and Senators to West m luster. Tho plan is essentially that of the Am-' erican Union adapted to British eou-1 dttloos, and Involves the destruction of tho House of Lords aud Hie sub-1 stltutiou of on elective chamber in its stead. Although on arlntocrat by blrtlu Lord Rosebcrry is very demoeratlc in 1 his ideas, and it is hinted that he may be even more progressive than Mr. : Gladstone uas been. The new Premier was born in 1847. He is flftli Earl of Rosetierry. He ' received the conventional KnglisU ' oducai;lou Eton and Oxford and sue-' cooded to the title upon attaining his j vantage upon his side In 1874 ho was president of die ocial Science Con gress, which met at Glasgow, and four years later ho was elected Lord Rec tor of flie Unlvers'fr of Aberdeen lit !UO(VSsIlIl to Mr. W.

He nns a horso that is a fiv write for this year's Derby and has become popular on tho turf. Ho is also a Knight of tiie Gamer. Perponully, he is suave , ambitious ind girted with the ability to make himself popular. Ho looks somewhat like Senutor Artliur P. Gorman, of Downing Houao, Ttt!l(lnce Milliliter. of tho Prime Marvland. He Is Uio best after-din-' nr sHiiker in England, and one of , the ablest debater in the iluuso of ' Lords. j Ixrd Roseberry Is of Scottish blood, ' as Gladstone is. He has been Glad- j stone's niot faltliful protege and honeliiiinn. He 1b very rich.

It. L. SIMMS. THE Sorosls Hold tin Flection The Now Pre Ident Two New Parks rrnintsed Suc cess of the Greater New York Exolte mrnt In Wall Htreet. Bppclnl New York Letter. I For llio first time In Its hltttory thai mimiftsful wwimn's flnl, Sorosls, luul, during tlic past week, tJie fun mid ex dteuieut of a battle of ballot "Just llko the men, you know." Hitherto, tho annual clertlous of Sorosta hnxC ' been tame nlTntra. Tho candldaten ' were agreed upon beforehand, and : fleeted in turn by a viva voce vote. ' This year, howewr, tiiero were two 1 tickets In fine field, with printed bol-1 Excitement on Crmrifre, lots and all the excitement nnd no littla of the hard feeling of a regular political contest. Mrs. Lozlcr has lxien the honored president for tho past three years, but lt appears that Sorosls, while not objecting to a third term draws Hie lln at a fourth. Mrs. Ixzler was compelled to retire under this rule, and two candidates appear ed for the succession. Tliey wero Mrs. W. Tod Helmuth, wife of tlio celebrated surgeon, nnd Mrs. Alma ('alder Johnson, the nuthor. It seems that Hhore was an Issue Involved In the election, but it is pretty dlllleult to denno it. Mrs. Johnson was the regular candidate, representing the hitherto ruling literary coterie, whllo Mrs. Ilelmuth entered the Held by virtue of her wealth and social posi tion. Mrs. Johnson represented tho progressive elemt-nt of the club, Mrs. Helmuth tho conservative. As near fltt T fn T nltt1A 4-1 illnlyltnrp lUi-v was whether the woman of the future i uv uutj BujHTior or merely liio equal or man, Mrs. Joiinson repre sented the Idea of woman's superior ity. Mrs. Helmuth, ns she expressed It herself, "believed In the equality, not In the supremacy of her sex." On these great Issues the battle was fought, and Mrs. HelmutJi won, by a narrow majority. The new presidenlt of Sorosls is a charming woman, aud as active In good works as ehe is in society. She lias bean a member of Sorosls since 1S70, and frequently on Its executive committee. She was the founder nnd is the president or the Woman's Guild of the Flower Hospital, is interested in the Ihihnneman Hospital, and In other charities. She Is also greatly interested In her husband's work, nnd is said fa know as luucjh aliout med icine as many a physician. Tho park area of the city is soon te lie enlarged by two small parks. Tho firs to be known ns Colonial Tark. will extend from One Hundred and Forty-fifth street to One Hundred Fifty-first, street, md bo Dotindorl on the east nnd west by Edgoponib road nnd Bradhurst avenue. The authorities are given the power to begin condem naitlon proceedings at once. The other will bo called St Nicholas Park, and will extend on the westerly side of St. Nicholas avenue from One Hun dred and Thirtieth to One Hundred and Forty-first streets, and westerly Mrs. W. Tod Helmuth. fn nn Irregular shntie to Tenth avenue. There is some oppowitlon to the new parks, and cries of a "Tammnny Job," but, in view of the future, tho action taken In securing those sites is both wise and beneficent, Tho expression of public oplulon present rate of Increase, the territory of the new city will, within fifty years, embrace 10,000.000 of poople. What a municipality it will be! Excitement has been at fever heat In Wall street during tho past week. Sugar stocks huvo been manipulated way to carry uio tliouglits of sp"culators back to the "good old times" of wild fluciiuiitlons. There has boon a continuance of tiie bull movement generally, and tiie con fidence In a business revival Is now high and Imnstful. As a matter of fa , the buslnostt pulse Is dally grow ing steadier, and tlh confidence of Wall street secmn to bo well founded. MilfON 8. MAYUBW. Tim "Genf.la Header."

On the eventful night, however, Dickens appeared in slmplo ''veiling dress, among a host of Rob Hoys and Ivauhoes.

" LIVELY COMMENT FROM COMMERCIAL CAPITAL J 4 SHOD WITHOUT NAILS. No More flipping on Asphntt or Icy Street Ensly Tut on nnd Immovable. Ever since the custom of shoeing horses with "a rliu of Iron" on tho hoof lx(?nn, ns It Is conjectured that tho primitive methods did not vary essen tially from those employed In our day, It has been a problem to save the hoofs from Injury by tho fitting on of the red hot shoes, tho paring of tho bona to tho quick In levelling the foot and the pricking of the frog, that common . . 1... M I t'illiwty Ul miin.-urrn, i.j nil., i I'l Klt'Kn driving of nails by unskilful black smiths. The last trouble Is more fre quently met With, for even when the Shoe In Position, nails are most carefully put In It often happens that one will split under tho blows of tho ha minor and tho horse be lamed despite the best art of tho smith. To alleviate the dangers of shoeing has been a close study among American horse-owners, notably wltli Robert Bonner. His first step when ho purchased Maud S. from W. H. Van derbllt for $10,000 was to change her shoes in accordance with his ldis. That the change was beneficial was demonstrated to all horsemen nt Cleve land, O., In 1S85, when Maud S. made her great mile lu 2:08, a record never equalled until the advent of the bicycle sulky. It Is Mr. Bonner's theory that not only is speed increased In the trotter but also the usefulness of every typo of the driving and work horse aug mented by proper shoeing. Ho Is most emphatic In declaring that bad shoo ing Is the most frequent cause of lame ness In horses. In England owners have had the samo experience with work and car riage horses, and after long-sutTeiing they have adopted a new plan to rem edy the trouble, the use of a shoe fixed firmly to the hoof without tho use of nails, the Invention of a practi cal smith, Mr. Benfleld, Walsall. Tho shoe Is made of the best soft steel. No tools but a rasp and a ham mer are needed In putting on the shoe. After removing the old shoe, tho bot tom of the foot Is rrsped perfectly flat toget a thoroughly letel bearing. Then tho shoe is placed on the foot, nnd If It should be a little too wide a knock with the hammer will close It to the required size, the quality of tho steel allowing for the opening or closing. Then let the horse stand with his hoof in tho shoe (holding up one leg. If nec essary, to mako him stand firm) and with a hammer close the clips to tho io6f. Thus fixed It Will hold firmly nnd keep In place better than a nailed shoe. Tho small points of the slips entering the hoof on the outside, t' natural growth is not interfere- .jtn lu tho slightest degree, arn thMiaugt.r of Injury by nails nMn obviated. Althou DOst nppHo,! a skiii.Hi otacksuilth, any man of moderate skill can remove nn old or fix on a new shoo, by no moans a small advantage. Two styles of tho shoe are made. For farming xiso nnd ordinary work on country roads Uie shoo has a solid tread, to which ice-cogs can be readily applied. For city work and ordinary driving purposes the shoo has a rubber GrovalShai With IilUl Itl'i'jJ? P. pad or rib Inserted in n groove, which projects slightly beyond the surface of the metal. The rubber padding saves any Jar of the foot on hard pave ments nnd gives a firm footing on tho most slippery surface, whether of as phalt, frost or ice. In either form tho shoe Is lighter than the ordinary ones, being made of the best softened steel Instead of iron. Tho cost I moderate, nnd from its durability It Is really cheaper than au Iron shoo. It has been most favorably spoken of by tho veterinary profession and tho press, the newspapers stating that tills invention will "revolutionize tho shoeing of horses." There Is also a special shoe made for mules which enables them to go long uistances without ratigue. In England the shoes have been In use for some time and have met all expectations. Mr. Benfleld holds pat ents in England, France and America. For the past twelve mouth ho has been perfecting tho mode of manufac ture and general construction of tho shoe, that will enable the turning out or a large quantity daily. Treatment of Horn llrlttli'ncsi. In treating cows for horn bill th-mw, a etocii raiser in Austria, found no good resulting from feeding bone meal when the water used from u ttprlng was per fectly soft that is, without mineral matter. But upon changing them to the water of another spring containing carbonate, sulphate and phosphate of lime, and clioiorate of nmineslu In small quantlUe, the effect wero as follows: 1. Tho animals 'drunk half as much again us before. 2. Tho cow gave more and better milk thun before. 3. Tho worst diseased cow at once bigan to get better, and till was the llrt case In which any of them recovered with- out removal. 4. Tho oxen showed far oeuer condition man could lie pre viously aiiaineu on tne best of food and with the most careful attention. No fresh cases occurred as soon as tho cnango or water wan introduced. il X in',' 910-912 . Warren A. Reed. 7n Flows i CLOVER SEED, ' TIMOTHY SEED, AGRICULTURAL SALT, 3D. "W.
