Iltt*bnrg and Allegheny. Tuesday's election in Pittsburg was perhaps the most exciting in the history of the city: there was trouble and tur moil at nearly every polling place: about 50,000 votes were polled: and Mr. Lar kin, the "Citizens" candidate for Con troller (the accounting officer of the city) was elected by a majority of about (J,000; while of the Select Councilmen elected, the local ' Ring'' got but five of the nineteen elected, and of Common Counclmen, 17 of the 51 elected. It was a revolt, and a very emphatic one, ajcainat the rule of Flinn and his crowd; and will not only affect' state politics, bat those of every count}' in Western end of the State. In Allegheny the Republican candi date for Controller was elected by the usual majority: and in the Fifth ward, Miss McKnight was elected to the School Board. aEOBGE WASH INGT<>N. Saturday will be Washington's biith day. Following we print comments on him bv a great newspaper man. A few years ago I made a study of George Washington, especially of his early life, and was surprised, thongh it seemed to me that L knew as much as the average American citizen of the first of our presidents, to realize that I had not understood the breadth, excellence and usefulness of his civil and military life. He grows sis we know him. He was a great general, organised the army at Boston, saved it at Brooklyn, fought two battles for Philadelphia, made the brilliant stroke at Trenton and Princeton, struck the British hard at Manrnouth, and rebuked Charles Lee on the field—disappeared from the north to go to Yorktown, capture Cornwallis and win the independence declared; and took the command in person of an army of 10,000 men to put down disorder in Western Pennsylvania that would have destroyed the union if he had not made rebellion hopeless by the mass of troops be led to the field to crush the one of his time. George Washington knew better than any other man who lived in his day tbe greatness at the west. He was at Pitts burg on his way to Fort Le Boeuf, in Erie connty. Pennsylvania, and at tliut time Pittsburg was "The Fork" and not a stick bad been cut where yonr city stands. The next year he wai sent with an insufficient force to fortify "The Fork,' bat the French were ahead and they overwhelmed him at Fort Necessity, where he was made a prisoner of war. and was a prisoner Jnly 4, 22 rears be fore the declaration. Later he was with Braddock, as the world well knows, and returned again and again to look after his land investments in tbe west. WASHINGTON NOTES. A sensational speech WHS made in the House of Representatives last Friday, by Charles E Wheeler of Paducah.Ky , one of the brightest young men on the Democratic side of the chamber. He Intended his remarks as a protest against tbe toadyism, tnft-hunting and flunkey lam that are being exhibited cn account of the special embassy to the corona tion, laying special stress npon the Paunceforte episode as disclosed by Germany. During the course of bis remarks be called Secretary Hay a "pitiable little flunkey," who ought to be put out of the State Department for bringing about tbe present condition. He referred to Prince Henry as a "little Dutchman' (be is over « feet tall;, and s«id that if what was given ont by tbe Berlin Foreign Office as to Great Britain's attitude before the Cuban war is true, "this man Paunce forte ought to be ordered to take the first •hip to cross the waters." lie said that the deU rruination of the President to send his daughter to the coronation was a most unfortunate cir cumstance. He sneered at what he called our truckling to England for permission to become a #orid power His words were so bitter that several Republics HI badgered him with ques tions. President Roosevelt stands firm in the position taken in his message to Congress that there sbonld tie "a sub stautial reduction in tbe tariff duties on Cuban imports into the United States'" and that this country Is "bound by ev ery consideration of honor and expedien cy to pass commercial measures in tbe interest of Cuba's well being."

Tlie Editor's New Year i»ona tion. Tbe editor sat in his broken backed chair, His classical features distorted by enre, While even his whiskers were quivering with pain. Such sad thoughts were stirring bit masterful brain The boys were off for a holiday rout; The devil HS well as the fire had gone out. Tbe bills on his desk were so long over due, Though grey was the morning they turned it quite blue. Bnt suddenly sweeping the bills o tt of sight, With iiands in his pockets be Hat bolt upright, The sad spell was broken, the silence was o'er For twenty rough countrymen rushed in tbo d<*>r. The editor's hand an old jack knife was clinching, He shivered with terror, quite 'ure of a lynching. Delinquent subscribers composed the rough crowd, They muttered and whispered arid one spoke aloud "We are owing you yet. no use lying aixiut it, Your pajn-r we must have. We can't do Without it; lint money's so scarce it just treats all creation, Ho we have brought jon in a new year's donation." The editor rose, the room seemed filled with light. The world seemed so large and tbe fu ture so bright, And speechless with joy as the crowd moved away Examined the gifts that had so changed bis day. There were three cow pumpkins and six ti'/w tin cups, A se'sood-band washl>oard and two jel low pups, A Hii w and a Maw-buck, it paper of pins, An old flint lock musket and two rabbit skins, A good last year's almanac, one rnbber boot, An old patent office report and a flute A half peek of turnips, a celluloid col l«r, And shade* of Columbus, a re il idlvi r dollar.

BREWSTER-At the hospital Feb. IT. 1903, Roy E. Brewster, son of Alex ander Brevvsterand wife, of L. Jefferson St., aged 2 yrs and 11 List week the thndu of Attachlne Slurt . i. In a recent bulletin C. P. Gillette of the Colorado station fulls attention to the fact that experiments have shown that It requires about one pound of wax for every twenty-five pounds of honey that is f-tored In the comb. The food which Is neeecsary for the forma tion and secretion of wax In the lx>dy of been i for tin- most, part honey, and It probably require:; several pounds of honey as food for worker bees to en able- them to phxltiee one- pound of wax. The bees which arc engaged In the secretion of wax arc thereby pre vented from collecting honey and must feed upon the honey collected by other workers. Where comb honey Is being produced for the market It becomes, therefore, a problem of considerable economic Importance to determine to what extent and In what form wax should be furnished the bees f«r their use in building comb. A'fording to the present practice of bee raisers, wax Is furnished to bees In o;dy on - general wny, and that Is In tbe form of artificial comb foundation. There are, however, many types of foundation, some with a midrib only end others with cell walls of greater or k-NS length outlined for the bees. The keeper has, therefore, tbe practical problem of determining the kind of foundation to nee, whether with or without cull wnlis and ot what weight. Profe or Gillette's Investigations In dlcatc tlmt it Is a mistake to tie deep cells In artificial foundation unless their walls are made of the thinness of natural cell walls, Tbe only e< II v/alls which were brought to the tliTine -ri of natural comb were thovo built on foun* datlon -.vitli a Ibcht bane nnd with llttl ■ wax In tin cell walls. Companions of the weights of n.ifn raj comb and comb built on artificial Ml/mobS or ATTACniHO COHII STAItTKItS. foundations showed that the thin and extra thin super foundations are far tin; In i for the production of eomb, which will compare In quality and 11;..' lit in with nil turn I comb. It seems certain Hint heavy foundations result In combs heavier Hum the natural comb and that tbe increased weight is due to thicker midribs and thicker cell walls, but more to the latter than to tbo for mer. Wle re (lie cell walls were very high they were not thinned down In the process of comb building. i;x |m-i-1 iiiciith were tried with u num ber or incihud t of imlng foundation* In fiction*.

Pruning potato vines to one main Btalk has been occasionally recom mended in the agricultural press of late years. The Cornell station finds that it does not increase the yield. French investigators are credited with the statement that a mixture of molasses with chopped grass or hay is an admirable food for horses and cattle. An alarming disease of the potato, said to be caused by a bacterhim iden tical with that which once attacked the tomato and epgp'ants of the United States, is reported from France. Rye as stock food is receiving more attention than usual this year. No man can be brave who considers pain the greatest evil of life or tem perate niio regards pleasure as the highest good.—Cicero. By the time we get what we want in life we want something else a great deal more.—Saturday Evening Post. The Pnbllc Gallons n Century Ab«. Even if the bicycle had been invented a hundred years ago touring could hardly have become very popular—at all events, for solitary cyclists. The old guidebooks were by no means cheerful reading. A run from London to East Grinstead, a distance of five or six and t*venty miles, would have tak en the wheelman past three gibbets, and it was just as likely as not that from one or the other of them a body would be swinging in the wind. Up till the beginning of the nine teenth century the gallows was almost as frequent a landmark as finger posts or public houses have become now. The traveler approaching York is di rected by the guidebooks to "turn round by the gallows and three wind mills," and the road out of Durham is "between the gallows and Crokehill." Going out of Wells you "cross the brook and pass by the gallows." Any number of nucli directions can be gleaned from the old books for the guidance of travelers a hundred years ago, and as these interesting objects were put up and the dead bodies of malefactors left upon them for the special edification of footpads and highwaymen there was a suggestive ness about them that must have given a special piquancy to cycle touring if it bad been in vogue at that time.—Lon don News. Took I« Srrlonslr. The late Professor Hinsdale was sin gularly devoid of all sense of humor, arm as for slang- well, he knew far more about the deadest of dead lan guages than lie did concerning these saucy innovations ou his native tongue. There was a certain piece of legisla tion which was of considerable inter est to the local school officials. It had been Introduced into the legislature and was there hanging fire. One day Professor Hinsdale, then school superintendent, said to Mr. Tom Whitehead, secretary of the board of education: "Mr. Secretary, what Is tbe outlook for that special school bill now In the hands of the state legislators? Do you believe it will be adopted soon ?" The secretary shook his Lead In a manner that wan meant to be thorough ly discouraging and Haiti, with a strong emphasis: "It will be a cold day when that hill IH passed." The superintendent nodded and pass ed on. A day or two later Homebody came Into hls office and auked him about the pro- peels of the same bill. "Well," In- replied In his heavy way, "I have no jieihonal means of knowing the statu* of the measure, but I have been a- -tired emphatleally by Secreta ry Whitehead, who may be considered uu expert In securing knowledge of thi* character, that the bill will not pa in until next winter." —Cleveland l'la'fn I >ealei\ i •' "A Km'#r 3- J?/ / "I IIAVK VOIK I'KOMtSKt" fJAIII IIE.
