Pkkpihest Ci.EVKf.AM, notwit listaml
ing the croakings of the liepuhlicau
presto, is enjoying himself and regaining
his usual robiitt health at Crty Gables,
his country seat on the ocean in Massa
chusetts. He lias now fully recovered
from the rheumatism which for some
days confined him to the house. He
will not return to Washington until the
time for the convening of the extra ses
Eion of Congress.
A dispatch from Kaston, l'a., says;
the hut legislature passed an act regula
ting the fees for constables and justices
of the peace. Bills under this act were
presented to the county commissioners,
who refuse to pay them. A case stated
was presented to Judge Iteeder who de
cided the bill should le paid. Judge
Keeder on Monday recalled the decree,
and stated that only justices and con
stables elected since the passage of the
act were entitled to fees under it. This
decision shuts out every justice and con
stable iu the county, and in fact the en
tire state.
Is bis address in Tammany hall on
July 4, Speaker Crisp said: "If there
are thousands of unemployed workmen
iu our land, if the agricultural interests
languish, if trade and commerce are re
stricted, if there is lack of confidence in
financial circles, so far as human laws
are resjKnsible, you can charge it to the
Republican party. There are laws on
on our statute hooks to-day w hich are iu
restriction of trade. They are Republi
can laws which have destroyed the Iso
lde's confidence and have ujsct tha
finances. They are Lepuhlican laws."
And Speaker Crisp is right.
Papkks from China, received per latest
mail, contain accounts of the great
famine in Shansi, from which it appears
that in Kneihna and Sniynan circuits
alone over 5'J0,(O0 eople have leen re
ceiving relief from the (iovernment.
The sufferings of the people are some
thing awful to witness. The famine was
caused by excessive rain in some sections
and a great drought in others, so that
not a grain of any crop was harvested
and the eopIe, having no savings,
awaited death with folded hands. The
strong have left their homes and the
weak have died at the roadside. The
number of x-ople in distress is estimated
at more than 500,000.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction N. C. Shaffer on Saturday said
that the new free text lwk law goes into
effect at once. He has rendered a de
cision that it is the duty of the directors
to make provisions for furnishing and
equipping the schools with the text
books and supplies generally needed by
pupils for daily use in the schools, such
as slate pencils, paer, tens, ink, tablets,
etc., that, while it is no doubt wise to
urge pupils to use the books in their pos
session for the purpose of lessening the
immediate outlay of money, they cannot
Is compelled to use their own Uoks, and
that in all the required branches of study
htioks are tole provided by the dim-tors,
and for all grades of the public schools,
including the high school.
The leading Kuglish scientists. Jones,
Hilton, et al., are figuring on the proba
bilities ot the earth finally collating as
a result of the modern cra.e for tapping
nature's great gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is a huge baloon held up
in part at least, by heat and internal
gases, and when nature's great gas main
is eventually exhausted the earth's crust
may break in and fall into million frag
ments. Ugh! The very thought of
such a calamity isstartling. They argue
that the steady lielching forth of millions
of feet of gas every hour of the day and
night is surely causing a great vacuum
somewhere not far lieneath the surface,
and that sooner or later the thin arch
way w ill give way. Then will occur the
climax of all earthly calamities.
A jury was impaneled at Springfield,
111., Thursday, to determine the identity
of the man who claims to le William
Nwby, of White county, who was shot
in the head at the battle of Shiloh and
was believed to have U-en buried in the
trenches by his comrades. This man
has convinced Mrs. New by and her four
children of his identity. Old friends
a ud comrades of Newby believe this to
be the man. He applied for a pension
on account of his services as William
ewby, and was indicted for attempting
to obtain a tension by fraud. The gov
ernment claims that he is Daniel lien
ton, well known in Tenm-ssee. The
wife of Daniel Benton arrived there from
Tennessee and will testify that the de
fendant is her husband and the father of
her children, and not Xewby.
A Washington dispatch says: Colo
nel J. M. Wilson, United States Army,
who by reappointment of President
Cleveland has now charge of the White
House and adjacent grounds, has made
a strong report on the necessity of some
change of the arrangement for the do
mestic life of the Chief Executive. He
says: "It again becomes my duty to
call attention to the fact that the Chief
Magistrate of our country should no
longer be obliged to have his private
residence and ofliee under the same roof.
Surely he is entitled to the same privacy
in his home life as any other citizen, and
it is sincerely hotsd that either office
room may U; found for him in the
Treasury or the State, War and Navy
building, or that Congress will take such
steps as are necessary to erect a suitable
Office building at an early day."
The World's Fair has been made to
lear the blame of many phenomena and
conditions, but the Union and Advertiser
of Rochester X. J. makes it jointly
responsible with the Sherman law and
the "industrial" frauds for the financial
stringency.
It assumes that there are four millions
of the American jeopIe not keeping a
bank account who have for months leen
hoarding money, which they would in
ordinary years have Sja-nt, in order that
they may have the means to attend the
Fail. It estimates that 1100 is a fair
average of the sum that has leen thus
gradually withdrawn from circulation
by or for each of these four million tht
sons, making in aggregate of $400,000,
000. Probably this is an excessive estimate,
but it is rational to supose that the ag
gregate of the small sums which the peo
ple have saved and kept lying idle fur
mouths in pockets or bureau drawers or
other depositories for the purpose of go
ing to the Fair is indeed a vast sum, and
sufficient to produce a sensible diminu
tion of the active currency of the coun
try. Of course, this hoarded money is
now U'ing spent, aud by Xoveiider it
will all f speut. Most of it goes into (
.... - i
the jMisst-ssion of railroad companies,
hotel keejx-rs, merchants, etc., w ho keep
bank accounts. Tims it again la-comes
a part of the money iu use, and to this
extent oerates to relieve the stringency
which has len felt.
The new law passed by the last legis
lature relating to married women pro
vides that a married woman may have
the same right and ower as an unmar
ried jn-rson to acquire, use, lease ami
disjose of property, but she may not
mortgage or convey her real estate un
less her husband joins. She may also
make any contract in writing or other
wise which is necessary, appropriate,
convenientor advantageous to the exer
cise or enjoyment of her rights of prop
erty, but she may not liecome accom
modation indorser, maker, guarantor or
surety for anohter. She may sue and le
sued civilly, but she may not sue her
husband except for divorce or to prot-ct
or recover her separate property when
deserted or refused support, and he may
sue her for divorce or to protect or re
cover his profx-rty when deserted by her,
but she shall not be arrested for her torts.
In suits between husband and wife Uith
shall be competent witnesses, but cannot
testify to confidential communications
unless by agreement. She may dispose
by will of all of her property, but the
husband's right as tenant by courtesy
shall not le affected. The act of June
3, 1887, and all other inconsistent acts
are repealed by this act, which was ap
proved June 8, 1083.
The weekly crop report of the weather
bureau at Washington states that the
warm dry weather has been esjecially
favorable for harvest work and haying,
which is well under way as far north as
southern Minnesota. In view of the re
ported shortage in forage in Kuroe it is
worthy of special note that the hay crop
is excellent in almot-t all sections. Some
injury has resulted to crops in Ken
tucky, Tennessee and (tortions of Illin
ois, owing to the hot dry weather, anil
rain is generally needed east of the Mis
sissippi, in Texas and in the upper Mis
souri valley. There has been a general
improvement in crop conditions during
the week. Corn is reported in excellent
condition in most states. In Pennsyl
vania alternate showers and sunshine
are very lieneticial to crops; corn ami
tobacco making excellent growth, oats
ripening; outlook brightening in dry sec
tions. A Washington dispatch says Post
master Ueneral Bissell has decided to
abandon the three sizes of postal cards
now in use and to sul-titute one size fur
both single and reply cards With that
purpe in view the specifications; which
have been sent to prospective bidders for
the contract of furnishing the postal ser
vice with cards during the next four
years call for single cards of the uniform
size of 3 by 5 inches. That is what is
known as the international size, it being
used generally by the couutries compos
ing the national postal union. The
double or reply card now iu use w ill le
continued with the size, when folded,
reduced to that of the international card,
These two cards will take the place of
the small or ladies' card, the medium
and the large card and the large return
card.
The Auditor General under section
eight of the act of April '23, 1808, has
demanded from the county officers half
the fees which they have collected over
and alove the sum of 2,000. All coun
ty officers are -instructed to keep a so
cial book, to be audited by the auditor
appointed by the court of common pleas,
showing all fees received. Under the
recent act of 18,.3 monthly, instead of
quarterly, returns will le required.
Clerk hire and office extcnscs are to be
deducted from the fees received. Phil
adelphia last year yielded in fees to the
county officers over and alove the sal
aries paid the sum of 318, 210. Half
that sum, under the fifty per cent, act,
the state proiiosi'3 to appropriate to its
own use.
In this day of pension frauds and men
who draw regular salaries from the Gov
ernment liecause they are bald-headed
or have corns, Baltimore is proud of one
who voluntarily gives up his $12 and
wants to go quietly off and have nothing
said alout it. Haloonkeejier Joseph P.
Clarke last Thursday surrendered his
peusiou of $12 a month. He said he
had recovered from the disability for
which the pension had leen granted.
In a letter to Comptroller Eckels,
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
suggests the amendment of the national
banking act so as to provide for notes
being issued up to the par value of Uni

WasMnffton Letter.
Waphisctox, D. C. July 1'., 18'.'3.
Facts are stuborn things, and now that
the Democrats have an opportunity to ex
amine the pension rule they are tinning
up every day to prove that the claim made
l.y Democrats for years, that millions
of dollars were being paid out illegally
for pen-ions, was correct. Cass are
numerous where men are drawing?72a
month for total disability and are in
addition following ordinary avocations
and drawing the same s.ilari. s;is unin
jured men. Two cases of this srt -turned
up this week right here in Wellington,
one man a musician regularly employed
and the other a government clerk, and
there are many more here. These two
men were re examined and their pensions
reduced to $17 and 23 a month r-SH-ct-ivel'y,
and so apparent was the justi.-e of
the reduction that neither of them availed
themselves of the right to appeal from
the decision of the txarj of examiners.
A little incidi nt oc. nred this wt--k at
the Pension Office which shows th:t la
ities do not enter into the present conduct
of that office. A I emocratic Congress
man ca lied to protect against the reduc
tion of the peusiou of a prominent I K-m-
era tic worker in his district, and said
that the man had influence enough to
thnvv his district, w hich is close, to the
Republicans. The paH-rs in the case were
produced and it was conclusively shown
that the man was drawing a larger -n-sion
than he was entitled to, ami the
Congressman had to acknowledge it, al
though he still a.-ked that this particular
pension In- not reduced. 1 1- w as informed,
as other Democratic Cougrc-sman have
lieen who called upon similar errands,
that the policy of this admiiii.-tratioii was
to administer the law as it exists w ithout
regard to the (Miltics of the -nsioiicrs. S-c-aetary
Morton thinks the work of the
Weather Bureau hould I"- conliued to
the purioses for which it was established
and thai the employment of high-salaried
Scientifieexcl ts lncXerimciit along lines
which hoImmK really knows anything
about is all wrong, and in coiise.ju.-m-e
of those thoughts he has notified .-everal
professors who have been engaged llMn
work that was of no immediate practical
use either to the Buieau or to the public
that their service will Ik' d sj-n.--d with.
The Secretary intends that the entire
talent of the Bureau shall In' devoted to
improving the daily forecasts of the
weather, which he Ulievi-s to lie lhi
work which is the most U-iieiici.il to
the public. "How the fur would tl v.
remarked a man who knows considerable
alut the inside workings of some of the
other so called Scientific bureau of the
government, "if a man like Morton was
put in charge of the t leological and the
Coast Survey otfu-es. lie knows enough
aUmt science not to allow himself to !
bamboozled by the fake scientists whose
Sole object in life is to bold on to the
Soft snaps they now have."
Senator "orhe-s, w hose long Congress
ional experience makes bis opinion
valuable, takes no stiM-k iu the talk aloiit
the extra session In ing a short one.
Sjx-aking of it he said: "Congress will
probably If in continuous session until
August lo, lS'.M, if not longer." Repre
sentative Wilson, of West Virginia, the
gentleman who is thought to stand the
U-st chance of U-ing the chairman of the
Ways and Means committee of the
Hons?, should Mr. Springer not get it
again, al.-o thinks the extra session will
run into the regular session and that the
latter will le an unsually long on.. Mr.
Wilson thinks the tariff will le taken
up just as soon as the Ways and Means
committee is announced by Speaker
Crisp, and it is expected that will be im
mediately after the House goes through
the formality of re-electing Mr. Crisp
Speaker.
Many misstatements have been made
concerning the alleged antagonism be
tween the administration and the silver
Democrats in Congress. Repiesentaiive
Wheeler, of Alabama, is and has l-en
for years a silver Democrat, and this is
the way he expressed his antagonism:
"I have unbounded confidence in 1'reM
dont Cleveland, Secietarv Carlisle and
the Democratic parly. Mr. Clevel-uid,
Struck the key-note in his letter of ac
ceptance when he demanded legislation
which would give adequate money for
our business needs, and also legislation
which would insure the proper distribu
tion of this money throughout the
country. Under his wise leadership we
will lie able to frame a measure which
will he satisfactory to all the interests of
our land." M .

Washington. .Inly 1 I. It is learned
at the pension office to-day that 2.-"nio
.ensioners have Ix-en suspended up to
date under Secretary Hoke Smith'.- re
rent ruling requiring beneficiaries of the
act of June 27, lS'.'O, to prove total dis
ability where they are drawing pensions
of $12 er month. The suspensions are
not confined to particular localities, but
are well distributed throughout the
country. No pensioner has yet Ixt-n
(!ropted under the decision for the rea
son that the sixty days allowed the en
sioners in which to make proof of disa
ability have not elapsed.. The cases sus-pendi-d
will not result in the dropping
of the jH-nsioners, but may lie confined
to a reduction of (tension according to
the degree of disability and its catif-e as
shown by the proof submitted.

Segroes Ordered to Leave.
Little Rock, July The white
people iu the town and vicinity of
Neeleyville, Mo., a few days ago served
notice on the negroes at the mills and
on the farms to leave the country. The
negroes refused to go have purchased
guns, pistols and ammunition in large
quantities, and informed the white men
that they have made up their minds to
stay where they are and fight to death
U fore surrendering a single one of their
rights. There has Ikh-ii no conflict, but
one is likely to occur at any time.

(aii?ht in His Own Trap.
Memphis. Tenn. July 17. An even
ing pajx-r print- the follow ing singular
siory: A oiing man near Shub.ita,
Miss., named CharU-s Hardeman had
Im'cii troiiblitl a great deal by the coons
raiding his corulield, and not having a
.-teel trap young Hardeman improvi-ed
a Mian- by Im luting down a tall sapling
and tying a rx- to the top of it, and by
an invention of his own fastened the
rojx-, which had a noose to it, by a trig
ger to the ground. Then he carefully
sawed off the top of the sappling, so
that when the ciHin pulled the com off
the trigger fastening would lx n-leas-d
and the spring of the tree would jerk Mr.
Coon high into the air.
While the young man was adjusting
the bait on the trigger he accidentally
sprung it and the noose caught his arm
and he was jerked off the ground just
high enough to keep his feet from touch
ing, and all efforts to release himself
proved fruitless, and be remained there
suspemh-d in midair by one arm for
three days lx-fore he was discovered.
He was taken down and medical aid
summoned. He will recover, but it is
thought he w ill lose the use of his arm.
Collapse of a Grand Maud.
Monthkm., July 17. A grand stand,
containing one thousand men, women,
and children. collapsed at the Park
Rov al yesterday afternoon. It was the
third day's celebration of the Fall of the
Bastile. under the auspices of 1 Union
Nationale Franca is. The stand, with
its human load, crashed to the ground
without a crack or the slightest sound
of warning.
A terrible panic ensued among the
thousands of jx-ople w ho thronged the
Park. The unfortunates who went down
with the stand lay piled in iiicxtrcable
confusion amid the wreck of beams aud
planking, while over them ru.-hed and
trampled the feared maddened crowd
who filled the reserved seats inclosure.
Cries of pain ami terror tilled the Sunday
air for many moment-. Men seemed to
have l"!-t all pM-setu-e of mind. When
the managers and crowd finally regained
their Senses and the work of extricating
the people from the wnt-k of the stand
was begun, it was ascertained that no
one had I wen killed, either in the -ol-lapse
or subsequent staiujxile, although
many were injured and some seriously.

Oliver Invented and Gave to the
World the Chilled Plow.
wjsmm OLIVER CHILLED FLOWS
MADE ONLY BY THE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement tut a true one, for these plows are better
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows on
the face of the globe.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade
on the good name of the Oliver.
Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
IcOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Ouv-tk Chilled Pi.ow Wokks,
South Bend, Indiana.
