TUB CITIZKN, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1011. UANE FOURTH WRECKS BIG FIREWORKS COMPANY. Largest Concern In the Land Goes to the Wall. Agitation for a noiseless Fourth of July lias wrecked the Pnln Manufac turing eotnpnny of Now York, tlio largest nml best known of tlio fire works companies of the United States. The spread of the movement for a "Bane Fourth" Is the reason given by the majority of the directors of the company for Its present unprofitable condition. Claimants for more than $500,000 damages for accidents and fatalities against the company are affected by Its Insolvency. According to the pe tition, only $10,00d unincumbered as sets remain to pay $145,000 of claims. There Is only $23.98 in the treasury at the present time, the directors say, to pay the claims, nnd the rent for the eompany's quarters Is long overdue. What forced them to tnke the steps for dissolving the corporation, the di rectors say, was a Judgment for $211 which they had no means to satisfy. "The reason," the directors nssert, "for the condition of the company Is that the business conducted by the corporation does not begin until June and runs for several months. The main business Is done around and im mediately previous to the Fourth of July of each year. Cut for the last few years and since the movement for what is commonly known as the 'sane Fourth' has spread over the country the volume of business of the compa ny has steadily decreased." "THE SAVAGE LANDOR." Australian Paper Recounts a New Rus sian Invasion. A. recent copy of the Melbourne (Australia) Times contains the follow ing news dispatch under a St, Peters burg date: A savage landor got Into St. Petersburg yesterday, and the people of tho city were terrified. After considerable dlfilculty tho beast, which came from Tibet, was cap tured, taken to a remote place and there dispatched. It Is said that this Is the first animal of tho sort ever seen In Rus sia. How ho reached the city after his fights with the natives of Tibet, which Is a comparatively unknown country, is a mystery. A copy of the Manila Bulletin shows the bald telegraphic dispatch from which the foregoing was devel oped to have been as follows: "Sav age landor arrived Petersburg from tibet suffering hands natives." Exchanges received from London contain the information that A. Sav age Landor. the explorer, had arrived at St. Petersburg from Tibet after suf fering greatly at the hands of the na tives. ELECTION UNITES BROTHERS. Railroad President and Bricklayer Em brace After Fifty Years. "Charley, do you remember the time I took you on horseback to the dentist and you had n tooth pulled?" asked John Markhnm, an aged bricklayer of Uopkinsvlllo, Ky., of Charles Mark ham, now president of tho Illinois Cen tral railroad, when they met in Mem phis recently for tho first time since boyhood. Tho railroad president replied, "Yes I do, and you are my long lost brother." With this query and answer the brothers clasped each other and tears flowed. John Markhnm had not seen his brother since ho left him to join the army In the civil war. John Markhnm did not know any thing about the whereabouts of his brother until the latter was elected head of the Illinois Central. lie at onco got in touch with him, nnd the Mem phis meeting was arranged. ALMOST AN AWFUL TRAGEDY, Oh, who could wonder that she'd weep When she heard Bill say In his sleep: "You are a peach, a darling, too. Come here, sweetheart, and I'll hug you." "Oh, how I wish I had never wedl I'll kill myself" she sadly said. "And then perhaps when I am dead He'll think of mo and some tears shed." And so when morning light had come She quickly to the orchard run To hunt a limb both strong and high Where she might hang herself and die. When through tho trees she hoard once more Thoso words that her poor heartstrings tore: "You ure a peach, a darling too. Como here, sweetheart, and I'll hug you." 'Ah. ha! I'll kill that woman now Before I hang on this high boughl I wonder If It Is tho cook That Dill's affections from me took. I'll murder hcrl I'll kill her quick For playing such a low, mean trick!" And so sho crept among tho trees. Determined vengeance to appease. But, lo, when near the chicken pen Sho saw Bill hugging a fat hen, While on his shoulders thero perched two. And near him the old rooster crow. They were all eating from his hand And cackling, too, to beat the band, While In his basket right near by Fresh eggs were piled away up high. And when Bill saw her spying there Ho cried: "Ah, there, my own true lovo, so fair! You nrs a peach, a darling too. Come here, sweetheart, and I'll hug you." C. M. UAltmTii. FRENZIED FINANCE. If some European writers who "do"' this country in a few days and re turn posthaste to describe us Yanks as mercenary, miserly, almighty dollar chasers would just overhaul our gar bage barrels and follow the carts to tho dumps they would find over $1,000, 000 thrown away. "Oh, that can't be!" "Yes, a million In feathers." Every night we take our snore on 13,000,000 tons of feathers, and this doesn't includu feather bed lightning preservers, boll protectors and rooster talis that bob up and down on mi lady's thirty dollar bonnet. Every twenty years all this feather paraphernalia must be renewed, and every year we buy 10,000,000 pounds from foreign feather firms. And It has been estimated that wo throw more than this amount on tho dump. My friend, are you one of these fren zied feather financiers? Save the feathers, and the dollars will take care of themselves nnd you. CLASSIFICATION AND APPRAISE MENT.

The International Insurrection. In Mexico from morning until night He led the Insurrectos In the fight, Shouting, "Viva Ubertad!" All the weapons that he had "Were baseball bats and sticks of dyna mite. At wrecking bridges he was surely great He tore up every railroad In the state. Oh, a patriot was he. Although he turned out to be An American and Harvard graduate! Hero's another lnsurrecto boldly swoops Down upon a body of federal troops. He filled them with affright. And he smote them left and right. And while he fights he wildly yells and whoops. lie surely understands the fighting game. And already he has won a lasting fame. At maneuver or at rally He Is one grand hot tamale, And Giuseppe Garibaldi Is his name. Oo morning when the fighting all was done And the troops were cheering for the vlo tory won Stretched out upon the sand With a saber In his hand They found their leader lying In the sun. He was only slightly wounded In tho knee, So they carried him until they found a tree. Laid him In a shady place. Washed the dust from off his face. And he proved to be Matsuro Hoklch!. When we read of the exploits of comrades three We did not oven guess who they could bej But, like the musketeers Whose memory endears, They are noted for their skill and brav ery. But the news we got from Mexico one day Told us how they came off victors In tho fray. How they battled side by side By the Itlo Grande's tide. Aad we fjound their names were Kelly, Burke and Shea. Richard Llnthlcum t' New York World. DON'T BE UNREASONABLE. It's unreasonable to expect n stand ard bred bird for a song. Many do. A correspondent offered $1 for a pure bred standard weight Barred Hock cock weighing nine nnd one-half pounds when the meat only was worth 10 cents per pound. But ho wasn't just a market chicken, for Ills owner had spent money and time to make him a pure bred beauty, a prolific breeder of fine stock. The same with eggs. Eggs are not "Jest aigs" when they come from pure bred, bon ton, beauti ful Biddies, and they' can't bo bought for a song either. Take the advice of one who has bought and sold lots of eggs and stock: Allow a fancier a reasonable profit, Bo satisfied to pay n good price for a good article. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. In some parts of Pennsylvania tho shooting matches nnd raffles made fowls scarce in tho winter months. Fifty turkeys were disposed of at York, Pa., at one raflle. Raffles are unlawful, and fortune wheels, booze and betting that are found at nei'rly all shoots make them littlo better. Hatfield, Pa., Is becoming famous for its annual turkey auction. They are gathered there by one dealer and auctioned off at highest prices to deal ers. This year thero were 0,000 tur keys and 4,000 chickens and ducks, all sold at fair prices. They are mostly gathered from Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. As a solution of the cotton"boll wee vil it has been proved in Texas that a drove of turkeys cleans them up and waxes fat. Now watch for a big revival of the turkey industry in Dixie. Those who use corrosive sublimate for mites should bo warned of its very poisonous nature. A little of tho spray in the eye will often destroy the sight. Do not perform a postmortem on a fowl if your hands have cuts or sores. Poultry often dies from the worst forms of blood poison. Handling n case of fowl diphtheria has resulted In deep sores on the hands nnd body. White Indian Runner ducks and White Leghorns are tho go iu Califor nia. White eggs are nil the call in her market as in New York, but Boston still pays extra for brown Browning, of course. Tho rage for brown shelled eggs in Eugllsh markets is so great that other colors are hard to sell. To meet the fads they dye tho shells, just as some orange growers put on that stylish rus set tinge. Two men in Ashland, Pa., had a war of words, and tho ono accused the oth er of stealing all the chickens in Ma hantongo valley. Ho nt onco sued for $2,000 damages, won n verdict of 0 cents and had to pay $125 costs. Not much to crow over! In Alaska they call a mallard duck an anas puyraynchosc. In the swell restaurant they call n cooked guinea a mallard duck. Many fanciers wero so beaten by the express companies on shipments of show birds to the Alaska exposition that they swore that was their last. When you ship market fowls be sure to demand their rato or they'll chargo for fancy stock. .Vbraham A J Baehrer Henry Clark C B Canfleld, J A Decker Mrs Julia Fiomcr T J Gregg C G Gulnnlp W B Hill Jutl G Hocker F J Kays and Pago i.ovclass Isaac Pethlck C M Hutledgo Frank Skinner Coro B Sheard Joseph Tvler F B DltEHEB.
