That van a rather startling story Which came down from Skaguay to the effect that there had been discovered R huge conspiracy, ramifying various sections of the Yukon country, for the overthrow of the local government of the Northwest Territories of the Do minion of Canada and the establishing of a republic, with Dawson as its cap ital. According to the details of the story, arms, ammunition and provisions had been taken over the railroad and cached at strategic points. Miners to the number of 5,000, backed by a fund of $2. p iO,ooo, were said to be organized and awaited the summons to arms, ready to fight for independence from Dominion rule of the goldflelds, camps and towns. The plan was to over power the mounted police, arrest the civil authorities and take the govern ment into their own hands. The rigors of the arctic winter, it Is urged, would give the insurgents six months' Immunity from attack from Canadian or British troops, and the conspirators hoped for intervention or outside as sistance by the time the melting of ice and snow would permit the invasion of their isolated republic. While the mutterings of discontent over the Dominion administration of the gold country have been loud and frequent and riot and bloodshed have more than once been threatened, it has hardly been thought that the miners would resort to so bold an enterprise as the overthrow of the territorial govern ment to right their wrongs, which ev er}' oue familiar with the situation there admits are many and grievous. There may be here the seeds of a good deal of trouble, though the establish ment of the republic of the Yukon is decidedly chimerical. The Diaz Doctrine. As a complement to the Monroe doc trine of the United States the republic of Mexico now proclaims to the Amer icans, whose representatives are in session in its capital, the "Diaz doc trine." which is thus stated: The International law of America is founded on peace, which in its turn depends on respect for the aovereignty, independence and ttrritorial in tegrity of each and all republics of America. While this is not essentially a new doctrine, its enunciation at this time and from such a source ought to have a good effect upon certain of the South American states. It ought to be an offset to the Castro doctrine, which means a scheme of territorial aggran dizement through the levying of uu avowed war and the stealthy foment ing of revolution, and the Chilean doc trine, which looks to continental con quest. frankly if ruthlessly achieved. At a time when the northern section of South America is aflame with mis chievous talk of a greater Colombia and when dreams of still wider domin ion agitate the"forward party" of Chile it is good to have the greatest Latin American of his time speak a significant word in behalf of peace and respect for the integrity of frontiers. The Mexico under Diaz has by its sta bility and progress earned the right to promulgate a "doctrine" the accept ance of which by the republics farther south would make far better political conditions among them. It is a worthy companion piece to the Monroe doc trine, and both should be maintained as fixed principles of this hemisphere. It is the opinion of army experts botli in this country and abroad that the sword has become obsolete as a weapon of modern warfare and that a more effective weapou should be sub stituted for it both for mounted and unmounted troops. However, the world has not yet arrived at the full appre ciation of the wisdom of Richelieu's maxim: "Take away the swords. Na tions can be saved without them." With all the flattering attention It has been receiving at the hands of New York society, the horse has no reason to fear that it will be pushed from popular favor by the automobile. Did anybody ever hear of a pretty girl affectionately patting an automobile on the neck and feeding it lumps of sugar? The Vermont man whose life was saved because a bullet fired at him was stopped by a steel locket containing his wife's picture has reason to congratu late himself upon being such a loving husband. Many New York people have declar ed in favor of a "sensible Sunday law" for the metropolis. The principal ditfi culty seems to be the ascertainment of what constitutes a sensible Sunday law. Iu a Cincinnati hospital there Is a patient suffering from a complication of pneumonia, delirium tremens and unrequited love. He must be a very sick man. On the face of the reports it looks as though the Gathmann gun aud the "Akron Giant" were somewhat too weak in their hitting departments. The collapse of the threatened corner in eggs again demonstrates the folly of counting your embryo chickens before they are hatched. TIIE STOKER MAYOR INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BRIDGE- | PORT'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE. For the Past Thirty Year# aud Ip to the Day of His lileetlon Major >1 nl vihill Worked HI U Stoker L'or Fourteeu lJoll«r» a HITII. Perhaps one of the most interesting i l»f the new mayors elected this fall is the chii'f executive of Bridgeport, Conn. Denis Mulvihill is called the "stoker" mayor because for thirty years he has worked at the furnaces of e manufacturing company in the city where he now holds the highest mu nicipal otlice. Up to the very day he was elected Mr. Mulvihill putin nine hours daily shoveling coal, but s<> sure was he of success that he then Lauded In his resignation, but said he might .want his old job back again iu two years. His majority was the largest ever given a candidate in Bridgeport. Few mayors have been so little known before election and si mu< h tallied about since as the "stoker may or. Up to four years ago he had hard ly been heard of outside of his ncLli- | borhood. Then he was waited upon , one evening by a committee and asked to run for alderman. He it I used, say lug he had stayed out of polities all his life, and it was too late for him lo learn new tricks. They urged him that h:s duties as an alderman would occupy only two nights a week and that it was time he did something for his party. Finally he accepted, and his election followed. As an alderman Mr. Mulvihill at tracted a great deal of local attenth ti. He opposed every measure that carri< d with it an expenditure of public funds and fought so hard against appropria tions he regarded as needless that he was given the name of the "watchdog of the city treasury." Although many regarded it as a huge Joke when Mr. Mulvihill was nominat ed for ma3'or and said it was impossi ble for him to win, they did uot know the power of the candidate. He was known simply as a laborer, but the fact that he was an unusual one was not known outside of the manufactur ing plant in which he worked. His friends predicted just such a majority as he received. During the campaign be made 110 speeches. Knowing him to be a poor man, a large number of people sent him checks to aid him in bis campaign, but these Mr. Mulvihill returned, saying he was able to pay his own bills. The former coal shoveler and present mayor of Bridgeport is a man with [ {WSHSejB? ' PEXIS MTTLVniTLI/. [Mayor of Bridgeport, Conn.] deep gray eyes, strong features and is a splendid example of physical man hood. lie stands about 5 feet 11 inches and weighs nearly 200 pounds. His face is clean shaved, displaying a strik ingly tenacious chin. Pi r. nation is written upon liis countenance unmis takably. A moment's talk with the "stoker" mayor will tell you he is au Irishman, and he has a philosophy of life distinctly liis own, which he ex presses in his own Irish way. lie is typically Irish in temperament, good natured, witty and altogether whole hearted. Mayor Mulvihill was born in one of the southern counties of Ireland just fifty-eight years ago. His father was a machinist aud gave the sou the ad vantages of the meager school facili ties available. lie aided his father in bis work until over twenty years old, and then, like many other ambitious Irish lads of the time, be set sail for America. At first the young immigrant was a day laborer in Massachusetts, but in LS7I he went to Bridgeport, Conn., got a job as a stoker at the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing company, and there he remained. Dur ing all that time he had worked four teen hours a day, getting up to start the fires at 4:30 o'clock in the morn ing aud stopping work at t! in the even ing. It never occurred to him to ask for promotion from coal shoveling or to be surprised that promotion did not come to him without the asking. During all those years as a stoker Mr. Mulvihill worked for sll a week. On this amount he not only supported a family, but saved money besides. He Jived frugally and with Ids savinga bought building lots in East Bridge port. They were very cheap then, but he thought they would rise in value. He was right. The lowest estimate of the present value of his property is sl2 000, but there are those who say ha is worth $-10,000. Mayor Mulvihill has a wife and three children, the eldest whom Is now a boy of seventeen. He is extremely proud of his daughter, who is now in the high school and studying French. As mayor of Bridgeport liis salary will be $3,000, foui times his wages as sto ker. He believes in hard work and eays it is the best tonic in the world. llow to Serve Fried Staffed Boil eggs twenty minutes, put them Immediately into cold water for ten minutes, then remove the shell.

The matter greatly annoyed the late president and was ex plained by tlie Austrian minister 011 the ground that neither he nor his wife could in>l< 1 any relations whatsoever with the representative of a govern ment that has put to death his sover eign's brother, the ill fated Emperor Maximilian. Since then, however, friendly Inter course has been established between the Vienna court and the Mexican gov ernment. and it now becomes incum bent upon the baroness to call upon the Mexican embassadress, whose diplo matic status is superior to that of the Austrian minister's wife. Only a woman can fully appreciate the feelings of the baroness as she pays the call demanded by diplomatic j etiquette. She will go in her carriage, of course, perhaps accompanied by her husband as far as the curb, and her card will be received with all due cere mony. It is when she enters the draw ing room that she will either be polite ly snubbed or as warmly welcomed as etiquette permits. She will live through it, however, and will have many opportunities to repay in kind. Baroness Ilcngclniuller is said to be the most beautiful woman in the diplo matic corps in Washington. She was the first society woman in the capital to drive her own automobile aud owns live of these machines, all of different styles, which she can operate iu the most expert manner. ARTIST AND ACTOR.

While the announcement that Phil May, the famous artist, was soon to return to the dramatic stage interest ed the large number of admirers of his work in this country, the word "re turn" in t! statement mystified them a good deal, for few in the United States knew that he ever appeared before the footlights. It was in 1801 that Mr. May, then a boy, started out to carve for himself an Indelible name with his pencil, and he finally secured a position as helper to the scene painter at the Lyceum the ater in I.e< Is.

I The audiences failed to appreciate Mr. May's great acting, however, and, finding that as it "draw" he was better with the pencil, he took it up again and with such success that he forgot all about the footlights until recently.

Ilond I*roit'rp*A In Tennemrc. j Judging from the enthusiasm which attended the recent annual meeting of the Tennessee Good Roads association, much work in the improvement of highways will be accomplished in that state next year. The convention was not content with academic discussions of the advantages of good roads, the best material for roadways aud tho like, but took practical steps toward a realization of the ideals. To secure united action throughout the state and to build up an organization which would be strong enough to demand leg islation each county court was urged to send three delegates to each annual meeting of the State ltoads association. It was decided also to ask the legisla ture for the appointment of a state en gineer to consult with county super intendents in the matter of roads and bridges and for legislation which would permit the employment of jail inmates In roadmaking. In a recent bulletin reviewing the work of road improvement in New York state State En neer Bond says: The legislature appiopriated $420,000 for road improvement this year, and in the three years in which road im provement work has been In progress 20 roads, having a total mileage of 4,"> miles, have been improved at cost of $307,000; that 30 roads, bavin a mile t age of 122 miles, are now undergoing Improvement at a cost of $77.'!,7i>0; that funds have been awarded for the improvement of 3 roads having a mile age of 7 miles at a cost of $.">0,000, and that plans have been approved by I boards of supervisors of 12 counties for the Improvement of 47 roads, hav ing a mileage of 134 miles, which would impose an expense upon the state and the counties, if adopted, of 51.001,443. When all the roads already improv ed, those under Improvement and those whose improvement is suggested have been improved, 100 will have been constructed In 23 counties, cov ering 310 miles, at a cost of $2,289,- 374.35,0f which the state will have paid one-half and the counties one-half. F'ELRgXARPEN FORCING CELERY. Supplying the Early Market In May or June— Blnuchiun With PKper. The New York Cornell station re ports results in forcing celery for the purpose of supplying the early market demand for this crop In May or June.

About six weeks or two months after the plants were set in permanent positions nf i flrT 11 fi ll 1 I j N ,ip j BLANCHING CELERY WITH PAPER. they were ready for bleaching. In the experiments reported all the usual methods of bleaching were tried, but without success. When, however, the plants were wrapped with a thick, hard wrapping paper with an almost sized surface, the bleaching was successful. 1 By this method the stalks were brought together and tied and a width of paper reaching to within two or three inches of the tops of the leaves was rolled tightly about the plants. As the plants grew another width of pa per was rolled about the first and again reaching nearly to the top of the plant- Two applications of the paper were found to be sufficient. From a month to six weeks was required to bleach the celery by this process in a cool house in April and May. The Kalamazoo va riety of celery was found to be well adapted to house cultivation. GARDENING ITEMS. Winter Greens mid Vejcetnblee For Forrini; —Hotbed Soli. If the spinach bed for winter greens has not materialized, a substitute equally as good may be provided and grown very easily. Select some of the overgrown beets too large and woody for table use and set them In sand or soil on the cellar bottom or other con venient place, where they can receive suflicient heat to grow the tops rapid ly. The hotbeds banked up with ma nure sufficiently to turn the frost will grow a good crop. In this case manure underneath the beets, and the sash on top will be necessary- Lacking these, the rhubarb or house cellar will do, as they will grow equally well in the dark. Turnips may also be grown In the same manner, but growing in the hotbed with exposure to the light will be most generally satisfactory, as when grown in the light they will re tain the naturally green color Instead of the lemon color which is the result of growing in the dark. Soil For the Hotbed, The radishes, lettuce tind early to matoes will need to be started long before the frost is out of the ground next spring, and soil for the hotbeds should be secured this fall. A con venient way is to pile the soil in a large cone shaped heap. Armed down [ to avoid wasting by the rains or melt i ing snow; protect with litter or straw, j hold on with a few boards, to avoid i too much freezing, and then it will be ! accessible at ::ny time?. Very satisfac tory results may be obtained in the hotbed with lettuce, radishes and cu cumbers f.ir the late winter market. The green! while very desirable, is not a necessary adjunct of the work. It:-!> For Winter Fore in*. Make sure ih::t the rhubarb roots are iu condition for the best possible re suits for the winter forcing. Try forc ing enough for home use at least, as few fresh iVuits are obtainable at that season, and apples will surely be scarce and high this j'ear. For sauce and pies the rhubatb will prove the most ac ceptable st bstitr.U- f>.r apples. Four Ministers Tell of Magical Reaulta Brought About in Burning, Itching, Bleeding Skin Troubles by Dr. Chaee'e Ointment. Dr. Chase'* Ointment draw* more praiif from ministers, physician? and lawyer! tnan any other medicine in the world. It ll en dorsed by every profession. Extract! from their Letters. Rev. W. N. Edwards, Baptist mi*i*ter, 109 Trinity Place, Buffalo, N.

At times there was bleed ing and the itching and burning was bayond endurance. The results I have derived from Dr. Chase's Ointment have been magical and the benefits lasting. I feel it a duty to fel low sufferers to recommend it." Rev. J. N. Van Natter, Methodist minis* ter, Albion, Wis., writes "My wife was terribly afflicted with pro truding piles and contemplated a surgical operation when her notice was drawn ta Dr. Chase's Ointment, and less than one boa effected a cure." •"I then used it for an unsightly and troublesome skin affection, which had baffled medical skill for twenty-five years. Dr. Chase's Ointment thoroughly cured it. fror piles and skin disease it is worth its weight in i£old " 1 <> Rev. I. A. Baldwin, Baptist minister, Arkona, Ont.. writes. •' Kor over twenty years I was a great suf ferer from itching and protruding piles.

Rev. Chas. Fish, Methodist minister, 19a Dunn avenue, Toronto, Ont., writes "Ten years ago eczema began on my eara and spread over my head and hands. Dur j ing that Mine I was a great sufferer. I tried many remedies, and some of the best phyai j cians—specialists on skin diseases—treated me.

Should Be Largr, With Heavy Xerk and Plain Uoily. Twenty-five or thirty years ago tbe most popular type was tbe wrinkly so called Vermont Merino, said L. A. Web ster before the Ohio Sheep Breeders' I association. Form, crossing, density | and weight of fleece were the principal j features, making not entirely a practi cal sheep. Later on human nature made itself evident again ingoing to the other extreme, and during the eighties and early nineties an extreme- j ly plain sheep was In the boom, a j MEItINO RAM LOGAN AGAIN sheep not well covered, but bearing an unusually long fleece and so thin in many cases as to fall over each way j from the back. This was not as good a sheep as the j first. Now we have arrived at the age i of reason. The Merino of the twen- I tleth century must be large, with a heavy neck and a comparatively plain 1 body, well covered with a dense fleece of medium length. That is the coming sheep, and such the western sheep men are quietly looking after today. The great Merino ram Logan Again, i owned by Mr. Ed King of Kansas. | says the American Sheep Breeder, rep resents a model type of American Merino. He weighs 203 pounds and shears close to 43 pounds of splendid : wool. Logan Again's fleece Is close 1 Bet to exclude dust; good covering and j high quality In every part. |TrtE 1 |g REEDB RSi Corn Is largely fed to horses, but from its tendency to produce fat it Is not to be recommended as equal to oats. Corn may be fed more freely u j winter because It is an excellent hea < supporter, but at other times it should be liberally mixed with oats or dis carded altogether, says Dr. J. C. Cur ryer In Farm and Home. Wheat bran Is rich In protein, and that it can be fed with profit to our horses there can be no doubt. When fed in connection ; with corn or cornmeal. its effects are ! very soon noticed in the appearance of j the animal. Horses, like men, desire a variety of food, and the system tires ' of a steady diet. There should be a j change of food occasionally. A mix | ture of ground oats and wheat makes j one of our best foods and one that 6hould be widely used. Barley and oats also make a capital food. Al | low plenty of time to eat and always ! feed carefully—no scantiness, no over- j feeding, especially of the grain foods, i Good, pure water of moderate temper- i i ature is of prime importance. Owing to the small size of the horse's stomach he should always be watered | before feeding. Never allow too much : ' water at one time, especially when warm. The old saying. "A horse has more sense than a man,"and that he will not drink too much is a mistake. He will drink too much when heated : and the 6tomaeh empty. Give little at a time and often, and no danger is likely to result. The use of common salt is necessary in many ways to tbe I animal system. Attention to the feet and legs is of j great importance. They require more ; care than the body and are more liable ito injury. When a horse has been driven during the day.he should not be allowed to spend the night without i being cleaned and his legs rubbed down. This stimulates the circulation. : Kindness with horses is of the utmost importance. Always cultivate an ac ' quaintance, and be on social and friendly terms with them. The hv.rse Is especially worthy of the best care, for no other domestic animal so read ily responds to kind treatment. Xervoua Hor»ei. Always treat the nervous horse with kindness, patience, forbearance, aud never make any quick or sudden move ment or loud talking if It can be avoided. Faatenlng the Horse. A horse should never be tied around the neck with a rope. The price of one horse will buy many halters. Give all animals humane treatment and never forget that they have feelings. Hardening Horiei. Subjecting colts and horses to hard ships and exposure for the purpose of j hardening them and giving them a re- I sistant constitution, says Farm and Ranch, Is wisdom of the same kind as that exhibited by the Idiot who would leave a tine piece of machinery exposed to the elements so that it may be enabled to run under adverse con ditions. Draft Horses Popular. The draft horse now enjoys the high est prosperity and greatest popularity of any breed of horses among the American farmers, says Live Stock Journal. The prejudice against the draft horse being too big has given place to the universal desire to raise them as large as possible and farmers generally want to raise draft horses for the market, and they have learned that the big draft mares and young geldings make the best farm teams, and as fast as they mature the mar kets take them at good prices. Good Work of Hull House. A novel feature of the work at Hull House. Chicago, is the new tenement house which is to be constructed and managed solely for the benefit of poor working women. The rents will be made sufficiently low to benefit the wo men for whom the homes are designed, and, to make all complete, a day nurs ery will be opened in the building where the children may be cared for while their mothers are at work. The SoitK of the Oriingr. This bit of old time southern rhetoric about the orange is found in the Jack sonville (Fla.i Times-Union: "The or anges are moving, and the good times must come again. Let others take their gold from the gloomy depths of the earth. Florida gathers hers under God's own hea veil and finds it colored by the royal sun himself, flavored by the dew and blessed by the stars. Watch the stands at the fair and see if oranges were ever fairer or sweeter. Lift your faces as the freight cars pass and then wonder whether ambrosia ever gave such promise of the gladness of heaven as those long trains leave on the perfume laden air."
