St. Lonls Globe-Democrat. "I once saw Davy Crockett clean up a crowd of crack shots," said Judge AsaMus grove, one of the early "pathfinders," who was e nroute to his home in Xorthernlndiana. "It was in 1834, shortly before the outbreak of the war between Texas and Mexico. I was in Santa Fe, N. 3d". A party of a dozen or more were shooting at a target with rifles, when a stranger rode up, threw his legs across the pommel of his saddle, and watched the sport He bad a long rifle strapped across the back of his saddle, one of those old-fashioned affairs, heavily orna mented with silver. He was inclined to criticise the shooting, an was invited to set the pace. He replied that he never threw an ay any ammunition, but that if they would put up their crack shot he would shoot with him forten Mexican dollars. "The crowd agreed, and the stranger nn slnng his 'gingerbread gun' as his opponent dubbed it. 'Perhaps, y'd like t' raise the bet?' said the stranger, as he ambled up to the crowd. It was doubled, then trebled. He then offered to bet his gun against that of his opponent " The wager was accepted, and the stranger brought his rifle to his shoulder. The muzzle 'wobbled' badly, and some one cried out that he was going to shoot it circle around the target "The stranger lowered his gun and offered to wager his horse against forty Mexican dollars on the result His proposition was promptly accepted, and he once more brought the 'gingerbread gun' to his shoul der. But it did not wobble this time. He put a bullet in the exact center ot the tar get, then shot two more through the same hole, winning easily. As he rode off some one cried out, asking his name. 'Davy Crockett' came the reply, and the party adjourned to the nearest saloon without an other word." ABOUT MATCHES AND FINS. History and Development ot Two Things Used Much in Dally Life. Harper's Young Peoplei Matches and pins being among the most common things in daily use, it is seldom that any thought is bestowed upon them. Matches thai are ignited by friction were first made in 1829, before which time they were made to catch fire from a spark struck from flint or steel a very inconvenient method. It is hard to say how many mil lions of matches are made in a day, but when the number of people that use them is reckoned, the total is appalling. Proba bly in the city of New York alone over twenty million matches nre used every 24 hours. But matches are such little things that nobody ever seems to think of them. From an ordinary three-inch plank 186,000 matches may be made, yet even at that rate the lumber used in the match business at tains enormous proportions. Pins are mentioned as far back as 1483, but not until the beginning of this century were they manufactured by machinery. The old wayof making each pin by hand must have been very tedious, and it is not likely that people were so careless with them then, as they were much more expen sive than now. It has often been wondered what becomes of the pins that are lost, but it is hard to say. There are 14distinct operations in making a pin, and lots of trouble attached to the process. Pius are made of brass, and then tinned and blanched, and millions of them are manufactured daily. As a pin can be used more than once, the number used does not equal that of matches, still miles upon miles of wire are used annually in their manufacture. Like matches, they are little things and not much thought of; but when you need a pin or a match, and there iB none to be found, then you realize what an important part they play in daily life. CHEAPEE TELEPHONES COMIHO. With the Expiration of the Bell Patent the Field Is'Opn for AIL Harper's TounR People.1 One of the most valuable patents ever is sued to an inventor is that which covers the Bell telephone. Many millions ot dollars have been made out of it, as the Bell Com pany manufactures and owns practically all of the teli phones in this country, to say nothing to their rights in other countries. The telephone instrument itself is simple, and can be manufactured very cheaply. When the patent expires, therefore, any body can make and own telephones, instead oi paying the Bell Company tor the use of its instruments. Prof. H. E. Dolbear of Tufts College, recently said of the inven tion: "The first patent on the Bell telephone was issued in March. 1876, and consequently expires in March, 1893. This patent was on the telephone principle, but it was in operative that is, not practical so in Jan uary, 1877, another patent was obtained by the Bell Company, which will expire in January, 1894. This second was called the 'magneto telephone." The first patent, that of 1876, has been the cause of the tele phone controversy. When that expires the field will be open to any one to make a tele phone with an electric magnet, but no one can use a permanent matrnet until the second patent expires. There is no patent on the long-distance telephone. Although any one may make telephones in 1894, the Bell Company will hold other patents, notably that on the carbon transmitter, which will enable it to hold most ot the business. The telephone has paid so well since 1877 that there is no probability that its patent will be renewed." Presence of Blind. New York Sun.I At Cavendish Ealls, on the Black river, Yt, a vertical cliff is known as the Lover's Leap. It a poor town that has not one such feature in this country. A man actually went over this Vermont leap along in the 40's. He did not mean to, and a companion crept to the edge and looked over, expect ing to see him dashed to pieces below. The man was crawling out of the river. "Hello," shouted Mb friend. "Are you hurt much?" "I ain't hurt much," was the answer, "but I'll be darned if I haven't lost my jackknife." How African Women Get Disfigured. The women of a certain African tribe distort their countenances by thrusting pieces of wood and crystal into their upper lids. They begin with small pieces and gradu ally increase the size until pieces of incred ible dimensions are thus carried, and .their lips are transformed beyond recognition. The muscles are so affected that when they smile the lip is drawn upward almost to the eyes, producing an effect that is most ludi crous. Possibly a SInrdert Braddoclc Braddocic, Oct 15. Special.

A REPLY TO SHERMAN, By Wayne MacVeagh, Who Tells an Audience in Philadelphia WHY HE IS NOW A DEMOCRAT. ne Will Vote for Cleveland Because Thinks as drover Does. He SARCASTIC FLINGS AT POLITICIANS Philadelphia, Oct. 15. One of the largest political meetings of the campaign was held in the Academy of Music to-night under the auspices of the Young Men's Democratic Association of this city, who invited "Wayne MacVeagh, formerly Attor ney General under President Garfield's ad ministration, to address the public on Sen ator Sherman's recent speech, and to ex plain his reasons for abandoning the Re publican party. Mr. MacVeagh's recent letter, announc ing that he would vote for Grover Cleve land, created a sensation that had not been forgotten, and, in consequence, the great auditorium was insufficient to accommodate the thousands of ticket holders who applied for admission to-night, so that many were turned -away. The audience "was decidedly Democratic in its sympathies and received the speaker with great enthusiasm. "What the Orator Had to Say. The orator of the evening was introduced by Samuel Gustavo Thompson, a well known lawyer and President of the Young Men's Democratic Association. Mr. Mac Veagh began by saying: "Ladies and Gentlemen Your kind welcome is another proof of the generosity of the American poople. As you possibly have observed, I have been for the last ten days the subject of very wide and varied comment, and I desire to avail myself of this, the earliest opportunity, to return my heartfelt thunks tor the character of the comment, alike from those who are in accord with the opinions expressed, and those who are stienuous opponents of them. The onlv serious iault-finding which hat come to my notice was from lobbyists, and with them I was never able to get along very well. Thev think it was the Jault of my'teniDer, but I think it was their fault of occupation. "Mr. Chistopher Magee and Mr. David Martin par noble fratrum have also had themselves introduced, in order to inform the public that they did not think very highly either of my political consistency or ot my political influence. Such opinions Irom" such sources are to me the greatest possible eulogv, lor the agencies such men mean by politics are happily for me as wide as the poles asunder. I never sold my own vote; I never was a party, directly or indireotly, to buying anybody else's vote. How, then, could the Mageesor Martins oi politics think well of me? "Some of my most friendly political op ponents, however, have been mistaken in their allusions to my past political conduct, and I wish to dispose, once for all, so un important a question. My coming of age happened to coincide with the birth of the Republican party, so that I 'have never been anything but a Republican, and I have never lelt until now at liberty to vote for any one but a Republican lor political office. Always Hereterbre a Republican. "It is true that I was opposed to the at tempt to impeach President Johnson, but with that exception, I do not believe that there was any more stalwart supporter of the Republican party than I was. I have had no other serious differences with the Re publican party, but, of course, I have al ways held my citizenship as a far more Erecious thing than my partisanship, and I ave never pretended to approve any policy or any candidate whose innuence upon the country seemed to me to be evident, but I have watched with pain and alarm the steady growth of the corrupt use ot money iu our politics, and I have been constantly hoping that the Republican party would at least turn its lace toward lower duties upon imports and against other forms of Congressional bounties, in accordance with the teachings of so many of its greatest and wisest loaders, and thus craduaily diminish the tempta tions to that awful traffic, hatetul alike to God and all good men, the buying and sell ing of votes. "It was because of that hope and the very strong reluctance I felt to sever my connec tions with the party which had conferred upon me so many and so undeserved honors, and because o' my cordial regard and re spect for President Harrison, and ot my ab solute faith in the pledge of the platform and in his pledge in respect to the reform of the civil service. The Purchasing Power of Money. "All my hopes, however, were disap pointed, and from that day to this the con viction "has been steadilv growine upon my mind that the general tendency ot the Re publican party was not only inimical to the best interests ot the country, but, unless checked, was sure to result not only in mak ing the poor poorer, but in making the rich more selfish and more corrupt, and therefore less patriotic As soon as the canvass of 1888 was over rumors began to circulate that the election had been bought, an'd that the gentlemen who collected the money, as well as those who paid it, were determined to exact such re compense as had been promised them, and the revelations which have occurred from time to time have strengthened the con viction in my mind that unhappily there was only too much truth in these rumors. "It was because I could not approve of these things that I found myself unable to vote a second time ior President Harrison, and I felt it my duty to annonnce the con victions I entertained and it is with equal pride and pleasure that I intend to vote lor the gentleman I hope and believe will be the next President, of the United States, Grover Cleveland." Cheers. A Reply to Senator Sherman. Mr. MacVeagh next replied to the speech of Senator Sherman, made in the same place one week ago. He said he could not see how any man in his senses thonght it wise to imflict upon the poor the burdens of the McKinley bill, or to debauch voters by offering them pensions, or to impoverish the taxpayer to buy vast masses of silver for which there was no use, or to insnlt a small, weak sister republio like Chile, by sending snch a diplomat as Patrick Egan, or to threaten her with war without waiting to translate her apology for the wrong done. Referring to Senator Sherman's speech on the McKinley bill, he said, no one knew better than the Senator that the cordage trust was an illegal monopoly, plundering the people in utter contempt of law. He took Senator Sherman to task ior the stand be, took on the silver question to-dav, as being opposed to the views he expressed in 180L On the tariff question Mr. MacVeagh said that less than 12 per cent of the laborers of Pennsylvania could secure employment in the protected industries, while the other 83 per Cent had to pay bounty on almost everything they ate and wore. The rich paid substantially nothing, but on the contrary realized immense profits out of the prevailing system of taxation. The prices of the necessities of lifo were frightfully increased to those who could purchase only in small quantities. Owing to the cordage trust and similar evils, the hard-working American farmer had each year found himself growing poorer, until now, in Pennsylvania, the land was worth lets than half what it was 20 years ago. Depreciation In Farm Lands. The depreciation in the value of farm lands in this country since 1870 was greater, in the speaker's judgment, than the cost of any manufactory in it. The larmer had to sell his wheat for the price fixed in Liverpool, and less than it cost him. The farmer was forced to pay bis bounty to the Cordage Trust for his twine, owing to the McKinley bilL The farmer further found his poverty increased by the tax he had to pay on almost every thing he had to buy. The laboring men were obliged to pay a higher price lor sugar, on account of the Sugar Trust kept alive by the McKinley bill. Seeiug these things, said the speaker, it was not stranee that 'ministers of the gos pel and the mass of the laborers looked upon the trust as a beast of burden, and that Mr. Carnegie and his associates were responsible for every drop of blood shed at Homestead. These were not the ravings of anarchists, but Christian teachers. And what was true of the McKinley bill and a great group of gigantic monopolies which were nourished by it was true of reckless pension legislation. The wickedness of such legislation was more apparent when it was known that every dollar voted to pensions involved a distinct diminution of the wages of labor. Eloquent millionaires spoke glibly of 5150, 000,000 voted for pension, forgetting the yast sum came almost entirely from the earnings of toilers. No Objection to Just Pensions. The speaker did not object to just pensions. An eminent divine had said that "Everv skulking camp follower, deserter and fraud ulent claimant had the effrontery to demand his bribe if his vote shall become a commodity." "What infinite dishonor such names brought to a pension role, dedicated to heroes who went to the front! Speaking of silver, Mr. MacVeagh said it wasknown that in the present year silver was mined in great quantities, at a cost of 34 cents an ounce, and sold to the Govern ment at over 70 cents, so that it was p'roba bleour silver dollar was not worth over 50 cents. Yet there were hundreds of millions coined and stored in vaults and thousands of tons' uncoined stored in the same way. Still the Government continued to accumulate, at the behest of the Republican party, and the price of silver continued to drop. This was driving gold nut of the country, and it was only a question of time when we would be reduced to a silver currency. All this was due to the election of Harri son in 1888. Such results had been secdred at expense of the moral degradation of the people. It had come to ba' that men bf large wealth had persuaded themselves that they were at liberty to pervert the Govern ment from its lofty functions oi securing the greatest good to the greatest number to taxing the majority in order to hand over those taxes as bounties to persons who will contribute large sums of money to carry on elections. In 1883, 500, 000 was used in Indiana. But that was not a patch to New York, The proportions of this' corruption were appalling. The speaker said he would rather place money in the hands of a burglar to bribe a watchman to rob a bank than contribute money to be placed in the hands of Mr. Quay or Mr. Martin or Mr. Hackett to be used in poli tics. REID TO BUSINESS MEN. lie Expresses His Confidence in Harrison's Kc-Election and Tells "Why Ho Believes That "Way Benefits of the McKinley Law to Financiers. New York, Oct. 13. The "Wholesale Drygoods Republican Club held a largely attended meeting this afternoon at its rooms, 384 Broadway. Hon. AVhitelaw Reid, Hon. John D. Spellman and Judge John Brennan made addresses. Many prom inent business men were present. Mr. Reid's speech was mainly dovoted to the McKinley Law andthe financial question. Mr. Spellman expressed his pleasure at the great interest business men were taking in politics. Mr. Reid, among other things, said: Two years aio this country surprised tho woild by casting phenomenal majorities for tne Democratic candidates. We, on the other side, could not understand it at first, but then came a man, declaied to ho the most popular statesman in this or any other countr; , who explained it by saying that the two-weeks-old tailff was not old enough to speak for itself. I appeal to you. busi ness men of New York, if it is not old enough to speak for itself now. You are to-day hav ing a Presidcntal campaign which is not an interference to business. U'hvT Uecanse the Republican party has infused new bloo I in Dusiness through the new markets it has brought in, thanks to the JlcKinley bill. JIoi chants will tell you they Are receiving orders from quarters they had never heard t rom pi e vious to the adoption of the Mc Kinley bill. Then Mr. Reid complimented Mr. Blaine and there were cries of, "Why didn't you bring him along?" The reply was. "Beeause I kept him out pretty late last night." Continuing, he said: Heciprocity has brought to New York what it ought to have had 40 years ago, and that is Central aud South American and West India markets. Is it any wonder that the men who biought this trade tn this country should be badly thought of in Eng land? Is it any wonder that in London they should want to see them defeated at the elections of November? Whose country is this, anyway? Are we running it to please the English oi ourselves? How, can a business man cast a vote to bring destruction and disaster? I close with a single appeal. Do you want to bring about a change disastrous to your business ? No. Do you want to vote for the party which has promised to do so? If you do not believe what they say, why trust it? If you do believe them, then why, again, trnst it? Mr. Reid concluded by asking every man present to vote for that "sagacious, incor ruptible man who has occupied, and I pre dict will occupy, the White House for four, years to come.

The CoBgrejrationalists Appoint a Committee to Study tho WHOLE QUESTION OP MARRIAGE. .Another Will Consider the Matter of a World's Fair Exhibit, SIM PATH! FOR PRESIDENT HARRISON Minneapolis, OcL 15L At the Na tional Congregational Council this morning the Finance Committee reported through Galena C Moses, of Batb, Me., the follow ing two points: First, that the Treasurer be authorized to abate the back dues of 1889 and previous; second, that the assess ment for the next three years be the same as in the pa3t, cents per capita per annum for the membership of the churches. The report of the Committee on the American Home Missionary Society re ported against entrenching, upon grounds occupied by other denominations. 'Xha fol lowing was passed: Sympathy Expressed for the President Resolved, That wo, the members of the National Congregational Council, now in session in Minneapolis, desire to express to President Harrison our profound sympathy with him during these anxious days, when he is standing bowed down with grief by the bedside of his sick wife, and to assnro them both of our loving prayers. A striking report from the Committee on Marriage and Divorce was presented, pro testing aga.inst the disgusting spread of divorce; urging wider knowledge among those to be married ot what marriage means; holding that the church fostered too many organizations to the exclusion ot the home, and authorizing a committee to co operate witlt the committee from other similar bodies on the subject of a re form in these matters. The duties of the Church to protect and help the home were all touched upon in plain term. It urged that the members ot each home should do all in their power to make their own homes the happiest and most cheerful places in the world. The report concluded with the fol lowing recommendations, which were adopted: A Committee on the Divorce Question. First That a committee of five be ap pointed by this Council to consider the dangers, needs, functions and opportunities of the family in modern life, and what can be done to gnard, develop and strengthen it and especially noting the results of the various agencies, loal and social, to this end. Second Toco-operate with similar com mittees who may be appointed in otlier national bodies tor the same objects. Tnird That tiic committee begins lis work directly after it is appointed: that it should frequently meet or consult during tho coming three years: that (rom time to time it make snch reports and recommenda tions to the chnrche as may be deemed be3t, and that it report to the next Trien nial Council. Tne report of the World's Fair matter was adopted. It provided for a committee to consider the matter ot an exhibit at the Fair, their action to be final in the matter. The final resolution provided that the coun cil heartily applauded the action ot Cong ress in closing the Fair on Sunday. A committee on anti-secret societies was authorized to report at the next meeting, and then the Council adjourned nntil Mon day morning. A Hoodie Alderman Free Again. SlXG Sing, N. Y., Oct. 15.

An Infatuated Farmer Pound Almost Starved to TJeath Arrested on Suspicion oraiardering a Little Girl Who Eefnsed to Marry Him. 5?ew Castle, Oct 5. Special About three weeks ago Samuel Duncan, a substan tial farmer of Sheoango township, and a 13-year-old daughter of Mark Ewlng, another farmer of that neighborhood, suddenly dis appeared. Duncan i a married man, bat" tor some time prior t o his mysterious disap pearance had not lived with his wife. His infatuation was a mama, and he offered to marry the child, but his" proposal was em phaticallv vetoed. He then threatened to till the pirl. aDd two days later they both disappeared. Since then the local authori ties have been tireless in their efforts to get some trace of Duncan. Many people here still think tne man carried out his threat. This afternoon Duncan was found hidden in a corn shock on the farm of Eli Becker. He was in a terrible condition dirty, un kempt and starving. He says he has had no food for many days. He refuses to utter a syllable that would help clear up the mystery of the fate of the young girl. It is reported that when Duncan was last seen three weeks ago he had the girl by the arm and was apparently half forcing, half coaxing her away with him. He will ba brought to New Castle jail to-night. The officers whor have been working on the case believe that the cirl has been murdered, and the excitement is so great here that if this theory should be speedily verified the prisoner will be in danger of lynching. To-morrow morning a search to sustain or disprove this belief will be instituted.
