He Wants to Be Able to Eun Any Bace for Which He Is Entered. HOW NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR LIVES Be Has Quit Smoking Strong Cigars JCow Weighs 22 founds and LIES TDAX WHEN HE WIS .ELECTED I SPECIAL TELEGIULU TO THE DISrATCB.1 Albany, X. Y., May 2. Governor Flower is rapidly becoming an accom plished boxer. He has trained down 22 pounds from 240 to 218 and people who knew him as he was during the campaign and when he came to Albany, are all wondering over the change. A man comes around every evening to the Executive Mansion after dinner and boxes with the Governor for an hour and rubs him down afterward. Besides that, the Governor has other rymnastic exercises, which have hardened his muscles and made him walk around straight, with his shoulders square and his head up in the air, ana his lungs filled with fine air, which is an Albany specialty. Since Governor Flower's recent attack of bilious indigestion his doctor told him that he would have to change his way of living if he did not want to be a permanently sick man. For some years Governor Flower has not taken much exercise of any kind. He would drive around AVatertown and in the fall he would spend some time hunting in the Adlrondacks and along the St Law rence; but from the beginning of the cam paign last fall until six weeks ago he took no exercise that amounted to anything. Ions a Victim to Big Cigars. When he came to Albanv he was new to the duties of the office, and he started in at once to familiarize himself with them, with out having been rested after the hard work and worry of the campaign. His appetite was good and he ate three hearty meals a day. After breakfast he would light a cigar and go over to the Executive Cham ber, where he would go through the papers and smoke until 10 o'clock, when the office regularly opened. From 10 o'clock until 1 he would see callers and work. At 1 o'clock he returned to the Executive Mansion and lunched heartily. Often he would take some friends over with him and the lunch grew in snbstance and num ber of covers until if amounted to as much as a dinner. After luncheon he would light another big cigar and walk back to the Cap itol. From 3 o'clock until he went home he would smoke and then he would dine heart ily and smoke until bedtime. His doctor had told him that this course of living for a man of bis weight and habit would bring him down to an early grave and that he would have to stop. He promptly stopped. From that time until now he has not smoked a cigar, and the way he feels now he does not want to smoke. He is ambi tious to learn how to box well, and he knows that there is nothing like smoking a cigar after dinner to interfere with a man's staying powers, if he wants to box an hour afterward. The Governor Never a Hard Drinker. Governor Flower never was a man who drank beyond a little claret nitli his din-ner-fiut he has stopped een that, and he is in training now that would put many pro fessional athletes to shame. The result of the training is shown in the work at the Capitol, as well as in the way that he knocks around the professional boxing man who has to stand up against him for an hour in the evening. It is a week only since the work of the Legislature was turned over to the Gov ernor, but he has already disposed of all the important measures the apportionment bills, the constitutional convention bill, the Xeir York inspectors of election bill, the freedom of worship bill besides all the armory bills and many other measures of local importance, lie conies over and' tackles the bills the same way he does the boxing man. He says that as the result of his training he has never ielt better in his life. "I never struck a man in earnest," he says; "but if I did, the way I feel now, they would have to cut my fist out." Itoutino or the Executive's Life. He gets up at 7:30 in the morning, and makes a simple breakfast ot a little fruit, beefsteak and cotlee. One morning he takes beefsteak and another morning shad. lie sits down awhile after breakfast and reads a paper, 'lhen he walks half a mile to the Capitol and works at the bills until 1 o'clock. At 1 o'clock he goes buck to the Executive Mansion and eats a little broiled chicken or some other kind of a bird and a bit of toast. Then he walks again to the Capitol and stays there until 5 or 6 o'clock, when he walks back to the Executive Mansion and mases a dinner on soup, roast beef, and a few vegetables, with no dessert or pastry of any kind. He drinks nothing except water and coffee at his breakfast, and he is reducing the cofiee. After dinner he reads lor awhile, and at about 9 o'clock he boxes. In his boxing be makes a specialty of the straight right and straight left, with the result that the muscles of his arms have become hard and his shoulders are getting more square and firm. After boxing for an hour he is rubbed down and iom tn hpd. Besides boxing he works dumbbells of light weight through the regular dumbbell exer cises. EVIDENTLY. AFEAID OF MOBGAN. Judge King and Ilr. liillingsby Don't Like Morgan's Boom at Alliance. Alliance, O., Mayi .Special Judge King, of Toungstown, andX. B. Billingsby, of New Lisbon, candidates for Congress, were in the city to-day, and to-night are canvassing the situation. Both are confi dent of success. They found the Aljiance delegation solid for Morgan, and are free to say that if the nhole county of Stark will stand by him as firmly and as enthusiasti cally as the Alliance delegation there can be no doubt of the final outcome. Both Mr. Billingsby and Mr. King have friends here. However, Billingsby has the advantage in that he is an alumnus of Mt Union College and a lawyer of na tional reputation. Beaver riohibitlonists Meet Beaver Falls, May 2. Special' The Prohibitionists of Beaver county met to day. The attendance of delegates was very good. At the afternoon session the time was taken up in hearing from committees and in laying out the work for the different districts and other routine business. Will iam J. Dunlap, ot Beaver Falls and George L. Vance ofXi-w Gallilee.were nominated for Legislature; delegates to the State conven tion: J. W. Garland, A. L. Bevnolds, & A. Moore and G O. Bemis. This evening a large meeting was held at the Sixth Avenue Theater at which State Chairman Patterson spoke, Miss Lilly Bunnels, of New York, pate recitations and singing, and Slaster Charles Reader, of Bntler, a boy phenom enon, recited. Kiie People's Party Convention. Enir., Pa., May 2. Special The Peo ple's party held its convention to-day. The Congressional conferees were instructed to support A. L. Tucker, editor of the Pmn-i sylvanii farmer, of Meadville, for Congress. L. W. Olds and L. L. Luce were elected delegates to the People's national conven tion in Omaha, and W. E. Ewer, delegate to the State convention. The resolutions cover the general principles of the national platform, with the addition of a demand for a uniform system of text books and a re duction of hours of labor in proportion to the progress of production. I0WANS WILL SUFPOBT HAEE1S0N. , Blaine's Withdrawal Gives the President Eminence in the Cold Water State. "Iowa will go solid for Harrison at the National Bepublican Convention and other candidates will be a mere bagatelle," said John Pierce, a millionaire business man of Sioux City. la., at the TJnion depot last night "There may be something of a con test at the election," continued Mr. Pierce, "between the Bepublieans and Prohi bitionists, but there is but little doubt but what the State will be strongly for Harrison at the election as it will be at the convention. Previous to the with drawal of Secretary Blaine that name was uppermost in everybody's mouth, and I do not think the Prohibitionists would have been as strong as they will be,if Harrison is the candidate.had Blaine been the nominee. Blaine has many lrieuds in Iowa among the Democrats, as he has among the Prohibi tionists and Bepublieans, and there is little doubt but what tho vote would have been the largest Bepublican ballot cast in Iowa's historv had he been willing to run for the Presidency." HAEEISON WILL BE IK IT. A Brother of Postmaster General Wana maker Talks on the Nomination. "Philadelphians are strongly in favor of President Harrison for re-election," said Thomas Wanamaker, a brother of the Postmaster General of the United States, who pasted through the city last night en route to Chicago from the Quaker City. Mr. Wanamaker said there might be some opposition to the President's nomination, but that he did not tear tor the result. "President Harrison," he Bald, "has made a most flattering record in the Presi dental chair, and there is little danger from any outside source in the way of nominees. The declination of Secretary Blaine has placed Harrison on the first round in public favor, if he was not there before, and I be lieve I am in a position to predict that his name will go by general acclaim at the National Convention." Connecticut Republicans Sleet To-Day. HAErroKD, Coirjr., May 2.

James Dunning Makes a Probably Fatal Misstep in a Theater. New York, May 2. Special. Monday night is the star night for the gallery gods it E R Jacobs' Third Avenue Thea ter. To-night, just as the band was filing in, James Dunning started to make bis way down to the front row on the north side of the gal lery, where his friends were saving a seat for him. The ushers say he had been drinking. He reached the back ot the first row of seats and paused for a moment He was about to drop into his seat when he lost his balance, tottered and fell headlong over the gallery railing, striking head first on a chair in the second row of the orchestra and smashing me cuair. There was confusion in the orchestra, while the gallery gods peered over the rail ing to see what had become of Dunning. Two ushers lifted him to the stage and carried him back of the scenes. The stage manager and attendants quieted the audience without much trouble. A doctor happened to be within call and did what he could for Dunn ing, while Policeman Walsh sent on a hurry call for an ambulance. Dunn ing nas afterward removed to Belle vue hospital. His injuries are a fractured right arm, right shoulder dislo cated, left jaw broken, fracture of bridge of nose, aud probably a fractured skull. It is leared lie will die. He is a lather. 38 years old. and married. The accident did not in- terfeie with the performance. A CONVICTED MUEDEBEB ESCAPE! He Gets Oat or a Califomli Jail 'With, a Fellow Prisoner. Santa Bosa, Cal., May 2. Special This morning then the jailer carried break fast to George W. Bruggy, a condemned murderer, who was to receive his third sent ence to-day, he found the cell vacant An examination showed that his fellow prisoner in the adjoining cell had escaped with the murderer. The escape was one of the cleverest on record. The two prisoners cut screws to the bolts that looked their doors and then filed through the lattice of iron that separated them from the jail corridor. Once in the cor ridor they quickly cut through to bars of a small window in the wall and dropped out side. The assistant jailer is suspected of sending the men the tools. Bruggy shot a man in a drunken spree, two years ago. He was convicted, and after sentence of death he was married to a young girl with whom he had been liv ing and who gave birth to a child on the night of the murder. He secured three trials on technicalities, but was convicted every time. Dr. Sutherland on Liquor Licenses. At the monthly ministerial meeting of the Presbyterian pastors yesterday morn ing the question of whether a church mem ber who receives a liquor license should be disciplined was brought up. Bey. Dr. Sutherland held that where the license was gotten tor the express purpose of selling liquor without accommodating the public he should. The other ministers put the man who sold liquor on the same basis as the man who drank it French percale shirts, 8 collars, extra cuu!, jiciv uesurns, i oy often. TTssn Littell'b, 03 Smithfleld street 1 THE GOATS GET THERE In the Lively Preliminary Skirmish at the M. E. Conference. THE LAYMEN CAN SIT APART So as Not to Be Mistaken for Ministers During Debates. KEW DEPARTURE IN .CHURCH COUNCILS Omaha, Neb., May 2. The twenty fourth quadriennial conference of the M. E. Church was called to order at Boyd's Opera House this morning by Bishop Bowman. Dr. S. Monroe was elected permanent secre tary. The entire morning session was de voted to a discussion of the proposition to seat the lay delegates separate from the clergy. The question was still undecided when the noon recess was taken. During the discussion of the resolution to seat the lay delegates by themselves separate from the ministerial delegates, Dr. John Lenahan said he wished to congratu late the laymen upon the demand. He bad always believed that the laymen had been at great disadvantage in sitting among the ministers in the conference. He believed that the laymen would have more influence and power in the conference by being seated separately. He believed that the ministers would be pleased to have the laymen seated separately, If they wished to have it so. Wanted Sheep and Goats Separated. Mr. Sinkle, of Kentucky, vigorously combatted the idea of separate seating. "I do not congratulate the laymen upon this demand for separate seating," said Mr. Sinkle. "I know that at the meeting we had the other night 71 of about 100 laymen voted for the separate seating. They wanted the sheep and the goats separated. Some thought they should be called sheep and lambs. Well, I want to plead for the lambs. I want the laymen and ministers seated together. I want the advice of the ministers, and I want the ministers to get advice occasion ally from the laymen. If we are seated separately, it will have the appearance of autagonism. The Methodist Church is not a divided body. It is one church for min isters and laymen. If we laymen are shoved oflfin one corner we shall appear to be interlopers when we go over to speak to the ministerial delegates. I want equal representation in the conference for the laymen, remember, but I am opposed to the separation of the lay and minis terial delegates. Please, brethren, do not separate the laymen from the ministers. I don't want to be separated from the min isters. I have never yet been advised in a General Conference to do a wrong thing by a minister. I hope, brethren, this resolu tion will not carry. It is a wrong step, and we snail regret it the laymen and ministers are separated." Laymen Want to Be Placed on Equality. Mr. Murray, of Central Pennsylvania, a lay delegate, said they were glad to do honor to the ministers, but they wanted to be seated by themselves for the influence it would give in the Conference. They had lost their individuality heretofore, as 190 laymen had been interspersed between over 300 ministers. One advantage the pro posed order of things would give would be the possibility of conferring together. They merely wanted to be placed on an equality with the ministers. Mr. Field, of Philadelphia, said that there was no thought of arousing antagonism between the laymen and the ministers. The desire was to create a closer union by plao ing the laymen where they could do the most for the interests they represented. Dr. J. M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate of New York City, then took the floor. He said the object of giving the lay men present representation in the Confer ence was not to increase the size of the body, but to secure the assistance of the laymen in the framing of the laws of the church. Had the laymen been given a fair chance to exercise equal power with the ministers? Dr. Buckley thought not He recounted the history of the Conference legislation upon the subject, and held that the laymen had been handicapped by failing to get a separate vote in the Conference when they had de manded it "Nine-tenths of the laymen," said Dr. Buckley, "attend but one General Conference, but the ministerial delegates usually go to Conference after Conference and the bishops who preside know them. The bishops are not acquainted with the laymen, and when they arise on the floor of the Conference along with half a dozen ministers what is the usual result? The presiding officer usually recognizes some ministerial delegate and the layman sits down." Separate Seats Granted the Kickers. Dr. Lewis Curts, of Chicago, said that it was simply a question of privilege for the laymen, and not of compulsion. If they wanted to sit by themselves the ministers could not do less than to grant their re quest. F. Boot, of Buffalo, a layman, spoke in opposition to the separate seating scheme. He wished to see harmony and unity all through, and he believed that separate seat ing would result in a semDlance at least ot discord and a lack of unity of pnrpose. Ex-Governor Evans, of Colorado, stated somebody had evidently been scared before they were hurt There seemed to be a little apprehension that they were not all mem bers of the same church. He conld not un derstand why the ministers were afraid that the lai-men think it wise to condemn a thing just because it was proposed bv a lay man of the Conference. He hoped the min isters would see that there was no danger in it In a long wrangle, during which many amendments and counter-motions were made, the Conference decided to allow lay delegates who so desired to select seats separate from the ministerial delegates. On motion of Dr. Putman a section of the hall was set apart for the lay delegates and then the choice of seats by lot was com menced. This lasted until 7:30 o'clock in the even ing, when the Conference adjourned before the drawing of lots had been completed. This evening the delegates were given a re ception by the Mayor and City Council BULES FOB 8EALEES TO OBSEBVE,- Three Important Departures From the Modus of Last Tear. Washington, May 2. The Secretary of the Navy has issued instructions to the naval and revenue marine vessels assigned to enforce the modus prohibiting sealing in Bering sea. These instructions differ from those of last year in these three important particulars: First Any vessel found sealing In Bering Seals to be seized, whether or not she has been previously served with notice. , Second The mere presence of a vessel in Bering Sea, having on boaid a sealing outfit, is cause for seizure. Third All persons on board the vessels seized are to be sent as prisoneis with the vessel, to suffer the penalty of the law. Under the British laws all persons kill ing, or aiding or abetting in killing, fur seals in Bering Sea are punishable by a fine ofSlOO and imprisonment at hard labor for six months. Tinder the American law they are subject to six months' imprisonment and a fine ot $1,000. How Patti Begins Her Work.

Examining Competitive Plans Tor the Pro posed Phipps Conservatory at Schonley Park Magnlfloent Designs Presented A Costly Building to Be Erected by Pitts burg Artisans. The time for receiving plans and pro posals for the design and construction of the $100,000 Phipps conservatory which is to grace one of the most conspicuous points in Shenley Park closed yesterday. In the afternoon Chief Bigelow and John Walker, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., who form a ma jority of the committee to whom Mr. Phipps has intrusted the whole task of se lecting a design and erecting the building, opened the designs submitted and spent more than three hours in examining and haying explained by the architects the de tails of the drawings. Oliver Scaife, the other member ot the committee; being out of the city, Chief Bigelow and Mr. Walker did not reach fe conclusion in regard to the design, as they had expected to do, and the selection will be made at a meeting to-morrow or Thursday, when Mr. Scaife will probably be here. Five beautiful designs were submitted, there being ocly three bidders, two of whom sent two separate drawings. Lord & Burnham, of New York, sent their designs handsomely framed and worked out in de tail in water colors. The frames are 3x6 feet and the effect of the coloring in the pictures is excellent. J. L. Silsbee, of Chicago, also sent two designs, both excellent ones. Mr. Silsbee was the successful competitor in the design ior me ou,uuu conservatory now using erected in Chicago. One of his plans is for a nearly square structure with an open court in the center, and about 300 feet in its greatest length. The other is designed to cover more space aud its length is 400 feet Thomas Weathered's Sons, of New York, have one handsome design of the same style as that last described. The building designs are all of the same general character and include separate npartments for aquatic plants, orchids, Vic toria llegias, palms, terns and general col lection of plants for display purposes. Each plan provides for a dome of imposing ap pearance, abont 60 feet high, in the central part of the building, and a handsome tur reted one-story entrance of brick or brown stone, large enough for offices, and a broad corridor leading to the plant rooms. Thejplans call for an expenditure of from 890,000 to 5118,000, though Chief Bigelow declined to sav which architect's figure was the lowest. The successful architeot will probably receive the contract to put up the building on his guaranteed design, and in that case the work will be sub-let to local contractors so that this city will receive the benefit The contract will require the com pletion of the building by January 1, 1893, and part of it by September 1. The location of the buildings will be on the ground now occupied by tho barns just beyond the bridge at the Forbes street entrance, as stated by The Dispatch some weeks ago. PITTSBTEG'S SCEHERY MALIGNED. A Scottish Minister Says Scottish and Pitts bare; Scenery Are Similar. Pittsburg has no attractions in point of scenery for a Scottish Highlander, on ac count of the great similarity of nature's handiwork, according' to the Bey. S. B. Carr, of Edinburgh, Scotland. Mr. Carr and wife spent the day in the city yesterday, and left last night for the West on the limited, while en route throughont America upon a pleasure tour. New York, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities were visited by the tourists and so far the trip has proved most delightful to the handsome old Scottish minister and his sweet-faced wife. "For 40 years have I been rector of a parish in Scotland," said the old gentleman as be comfortably settled himself in his seat, "and during that long time I have had a consuming desire to visit the wonderful land of Jonathan. I have read much of your American people, but I had no idea ot finding such a bright and intellectual and at the same time wonderfully energetic people as it nas Decn my good lortune to meet. To me it Beems strange that an Amer ican should desire to travel through out European countries when you have such a remarkably diversified land to glory in without being obliged to .cross the stormy seas. One thing that has attracted my deepest interest aud admira tion and that is the great American news paper. There is such a vast field covered, and covered in such an intellectual man ner that it raises my estimation far above what it was before. I think that newspaper work,and particularly American newspaper work, is upon an equality with any of the older professions, excepting none, and Dr. Carr waved a pleasant adieu as the train was pulled out TNDEB B. & O. C0NTB0L. Annual Sleeting and Election ot Pittsburg and Western Directors. At the annual meeting held yesterday of the Pittsburg and Western Railway Com pany in their Allegheny office, President Henry W. Oliver reported that the time for making a detailed statement of the company for the year had been postponed until June 30 to meet the requirements.of the inter-State commerce law. The in crease in the gross earnings for the 12 months ending March 31, 1892, was $133, 7C0 21, and would have been greater had it not been for the shutdown of the Mahon ing and Shenango Valley furnaces during tbe first three months of the year and also by reason of the strikes in the coal and coke regions. It was stated that the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad Company has purchased a con trolling interest in the stock ot the com pany. Tbe division of rates under the con tract is fair and liberal to this company, and the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad Company will save in distance by using this line. The road will become a section of the main line of the great Baltimore and Ohio system and be taxed to its utmost capacity to handle the traffic resulting therefrom. The Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad Company agrees to give all its business west of Cum berland to and from Chicago and the Lake region to this company. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Henry W. Oliver; Directors, General Orland Smith, Thomas M. King, John W. Chalfant, W. H. Singer, Solon Humphreys, A. M. Byers, Samuel Spencer, C. L. Fitzhugh; General Manager, J. T. Odell; Treasurer. W. H. Duffell; Auditor. J. Ij. Kirk; Secretary, T. J. Crump. FACTS AB0UI THE ECLIPSES. There Must Be Two of the San Every Year and There May lie Five, Every year there must be two eclipses of the sun, and there may be five, writes Prof. E. 8. "Holden in the Century. These are partial eolipses, however, except in the comparatively rare case in which the moon passes nearly centrally over the sun's disk and produces a total obscuration of his light. Since the invention of the spectro scope, in 1860, there have been barely a score of total eclipses, and a number of these could not be observed because the belt of totality fell at the earth's polar regions or upon the oceans. The belt of totality is a narrow strip ijever more than 170 miles wide where the point of the moon's shadow falls upon the earth. Total eclipses rarely recur, therefore, at the same point ot the earth. At London, for example, there has been no total eclipse since the year 1140 ex cept that of 1716, and there will be none during the next century. EXPERTS ALL AT SEA. An Investigation Into tbe Quality of the Senate Chamber Air PROVES IT IS NOT SO VERY BAD. The Air Outside Seems to Be Worse Than That Complained 0 A PE0DLTAB EXPLANATION ADVANCED rsrECULL TELKQBiM TO THE DISPATCH. "Washinoton, May 2. Senators who appreciate a good Joke are laughing at the discomfiture ot the experts who have been for several weeks past endeavoring to as certain whether the Senate Chamber and connecting corridors are filled with pure or impure air. A resolution was passed some time ago, instructing the Committee on Publio Buildings and Grounds to make an investigation and a considerable sum was appropriated to defray the necessary ex penses thereof. A preliminary expenditure was made for the purpose of having the air in the lower corridors, and especially in the new terrance rooms underneath the west entrance to the Capitol building, analyzed and compared with the air outside the building. Experts from abroad came to Washington, and, after considerable trouble, secured a dozen or more large glass bottles full of air within and without the corridor. Indaor Air Purer Than That Outdoors. Then another set of "experts," paid out of the second portion of the appropriation, came, and for several days went about the Senate chamber, during the session, catch ing bottles full of air from various corners of the chamber. These lat ter samples have not yet been analyzed, but the bottles of air collected from the terraced rooms and out on the promenade have been, and the remarkable discovery has been made by the scientists that the inside air is several degrees more pure than that outside. An attempt was made to have this as tounding result kept from the knowledge of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, but oneiof the several experts spoke too quickly, and the secret is now out. Even the Senators who do not pretend to be experts could not be made to believe that the air inside the corridors, that had been described by Senators in open debate as filled with foulness and impurity, was better than outside, and so the experts were obliged toprepare an explanation of their phenomenon. ' Peculiar Explanation of the Experts. Their explanation is that on the morning the outside air was collected in the bottles there was a fire in a building 12 squares away from the Capitol, and that the ashes blown by a rather stiff western breeze must have caused the impurities detected. That report has not vet been accepted officially or made public, and in the meanwhile the bottles of air collected within the Senate chamber have been taken to Philadelphia, where several scien tists will be employed, as long as the appro priation holds out, in making an analysis to show how this Senatorial air compares with the air ot the basement corridors, which has been found to be purer than that which God furnishes to humanity at large. The appropriation will last for some time yet, and the committee therefore expects more startling results with the bottled air now being analyzed. HUNTING BUCK IN INDIA. The Sportsmen Go Oat on Horseback and Take a Conveyance Alone. St. Nicholas. The black buck of India is a very graceful animal, weighing between 30 and 50 pounds. The hide of the male, when fully grown, is of inky blackness on the back, while the belly is as white as snow; the contrast be ing very striking. The horns are black and spiral in shape, and in length average about 18 inches, although they have been known to reach 26 inches. The animals are usually found in herds, and are difficult to approach on foot, as the bucks toss their heads into the air from time to time in a very graceful manner, and some one of them is almost sura to detect any attempt at stalking. They are at times hunted on horseback, but the usual method in many sections is to use a conveyance very much like the back of ahorse, only shorter, and made of woo'd. This is on wheels, is drawn by bullocks, and is called a junglecart It is very close to the ground, and from both sides project flat pieces of wood, upon which the feet rest The inside is hollow and holds ammunition and luncheon. It is believed that they take the queer little wooden arrangement on wheels for a plow, and consequently are not much alarmed as it draws nearer them in ever-decreasing circles. The bullocks move at the word of command, and are accom panied by a shikaree, or native hunter. The bucks never seem to fear the inhabitants, doubtless haying learned they are without guns, and therefore not to be dreaded. The Voices of Animals. It is the opinion of Darwin, who is sup ported by Dr. Landois, one of the first physiologists of our day, that all the higher mammals possess vocal organs constructed on the same general plan as ours, but marred by arrested development, and this, they consider, is due to non-use, owing to their intelligence not having been suffi ciently advanced. "With animals the voice is purely a throat voice, the vocal chords If you wish to get the benefit of this offer you must come this week: 1,096 YARDS BEDFORD CORDS (The handsomest and best) 12CBNTS A YARD. 12,960 YARDS PLAIN ENGLISH SUITING 25 CENTS A YARD.

And the women of the district are angrier still so angry, in fact, that they hint that even lynching would be far too merciful. Actu ated by such sentiments a vigilance com mittee is said to have been organized Friday night in William .Vear's grocery store at Tracy and Hilliard avenues. " At this meeting it is said, it was decided to circulate, with the utmost secrecy, calls to a secret mass meeting to be held in the town hall to-morrow night, where a "reception committee" armed with a bucket ot liquid tar and a plentiful supply of feathers will give the false Messiah and any ot his 'angels" who may take his part the kind of welcome that is in their hearts. That is to sav, they will do this if they do not get scared and back down at the last moment The highest place, among nH Mood-medicines, belongs to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. See if you don't think so, when you consider how it's sold to you. It's guaranteed and no other medicine of tho kind is. If it ever foils to benefit or cure, you havo your money bock. Wouldn't every medicino make the same terms if it could do as much good ? But tho "Discovery" acts dif ferently, just as it's sold differ ently. It's not .like the sarsapa riUas, which claim to do good in March, April, and May. All the year round, with equal benefit, it cleanses, purifies and invigorates the wholo system. All Blood, Skin and Scalp Diseases, from a com mon blotch or eruption to the worst Scrofula, ore cured by it For Salt-rheum, Tetter, Eczema, Erysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Goiter or Thick Neck, and Enlarged Glands, Tumors, and Swellings, it's a remedy that noth ing can equal It's the cheapest one, too. With this, you pay only for the good you get Befuflo worthless substitutes. RESORT HOTELS. HOTEL.
