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.

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.
The editor'* heart wan a* light a* ii
feather,
Ho <li<tri>. chre now for the world or the

And grinned at himself in the xhiny tin

HONEYCOMB BUILDING.
Tin- lie of Poandallon and "> 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*

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.

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

molasses with chopped grass or hay

An alarming disease of the potato,

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

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

"It seemed that nothing short
t of a miracle could save my little
! daughter from an untimely
death," says City Marshall A.
H. Malcolm, of Ciicrokcc.Kan.
" When two years old she was
taken with stomach and bowel
trouble and despite the efforts
of the best physicians we could
procure, she grew gradually
worse and was pronounced in
curable. A friend advised
Nervine
and after giving it a few days
she began to improve and final
ly fully recovered. She is now
»>a:>t five years of a«c and the
