Ya., who for forty years have been bed ridden and alleged to be sufferers from rheumatism, are now being denounced as suffering from pure laziness. The poor district has always supported them and their healthy appearance is against them. That was a graceful act on the part of the city council of Atlanta, Ga., in sending an invitation to the Grand Army of the Republic to make Atlanta the place of the annual encampment of 1805. It should be, and doubtless will be, received by the Grand Army in the Bame fraternal spirit with which it was tendered. The Harvard-Yale debate on the proposition that ''lndependence in politics is preferable to party allegi ance," in which Harvard took the af firmative side, has resulted in a de cision of 100 marks for Harvard to 00 for Yale. Party allegiance may well tremble for its prestige when indepen dence proves so nearly a match for it. Nearly a million dollars is said to have been expended in statuary in the public parks and squares of New York. "With very few exceptions, however, these works have been con demned by persons of judgement as remarkably poor examples of the sculptors' art. There is a bill now before the New York legislature to appropriate $25,000 for a statute of Baron Steuben, of Prussia, who ren dered such distinguished service in the revolutionary war. A new system of car ventilation is being tested by the Pennsylvania Eailroad. It is the invention of the four chief inspectors of the company. During a recent trip en route a car was tilled with dense smoke from burning waste. lusido of twenty minutes the smoke had all escaped and pure air had taken its place in the car. By the old system of ven tilation forty-five minutes and fre quently one hour was required to free a car from smoke and impure air. Nobody ever heard of a red-headed man being eunstruck, Hays the St. Louis Democrat. Why a red head should afford any protection from the rays of the sun or give its owner im munity from one of the most singular affections that humanity is heir to, is one of those mysteries that even the doctors cannot fathom, but the fact remains tliat men with red hair can Stand almost any amount of exertion in or out of doors during tlie hottest weather and never feel any serious results from it. But for tho proposal to levy an in conle tax it might never have trans pired how deep and fervent is the at tachment of the average American to the truth. The commonest and most effectual argument against the pro posed measure is tho conviction in every opponent's mind that it would tempt his neighbors to lie about their resources. No one expresses fear that he would be tempted into un truthfulness himself, but each trem bles for his fellow and feels distress fully confident that the loss of the community in veracity would more than offset the government's gnin in funds. Considering the large proportion of European-born immigrants in our population, the congress of the United .States shows a very small infusion of that element, the number of mem-' hers born in the United States being overwhelming. In the senate, as now composed, there are only of the eighty-five senators four adopted citi zens, two born in Canada and two in England. In the house thero are eight members born in Ireland, six in Canada, four in Germany, two in Nor way, and one each in England, hoot land, Hnngary and' Austria. Twenty four out of a total of 336 representa tives is surely a very moderate pro portion, aud even those*, must jealous of "foreign" influence must confess that little danger is to be apprehend ed from that element in the congress of the United States.

He Has Filled Many Important OlDoei with Credit to III Party and Himself— Known to lUh Friends an " Old li unities*." John Henry Gear, who has just been elected United States senator from lowa, was born at Utica, N. Y., April 7,1825. Ilis fainilj' removed to Galena, 111., in 1830, and in 1843 Mr. Gear, as a young' man, entered upon a business career at Burlington, la., where he has since resided. In 1803 he was elected mayor of Burlington on the republican ticket by a majority of 133. In 1872 he became a member of the Fourteenth general assembly and was appointed to the committee on railways. In the Fifteenth general assembly he began to achieve a state-wide reputation. This was the celebrated "granger legisla ture" of 1873, of which he was speaker.- It was during this session, which did a wonderful amount of business, that Speaker Gear earned the sobriquet of "Old Business," which has clung to him ever since. Mr. Gear was for a third time elected to the legislature and again became the speaker. He was now thoroughly iu the political cur rent, and in 1877 was a candidate for the republican nomination for gov ernor. The "Old War Governor," Kirk wood, had been elected United States senator, and Lieut. Gov. J. G. Newbold had filled out the unexpired j term of the governorship. Newbold i was a candidate for the nomination, ! and so also was Buren It. Sherman, the state auditor, since governor. There were 1)81 votes in the convention, and I on the first ballot Mr. Gear received I the nomination. In the campaign that I followed for the first time the prohibi tion question was made a factor of some importance in the governorship contest. Mr. Gear was elected, and two years later he was again elected, this time by the largest plurality ever given to a state officer in lowa. In 1880 the republicans of the First congressional district had need for Gov. JOHN 11. GHAII. Gear, that district in the landslide of ] 1884 having elected Benton J. Hall, a popular democrat and a resident of Bur lington, and they were not disappoint ed in the result, Gear being elected by a majority of 1,037. He was again elected in 1888 to the Fifty-first con gress, defeating .lohn J. Seerley, the democratic candidate, nnd was renom inated in 1890 for the Fifty-second con gress. The democrats again nom inated Seerley and he was successful, Mr. Gear going down in the landslide of that year. In 18913 he was again nominated for the Fifty-third congress and with Seerley once more his op ponent. Mr. Gear was elected by a majority of 039. After that election and before his new congressional term I could begin he was appointed by Pres ident Harrison to the position which he held for a few months as assistant secretary of the treasury. In the house of the present (Fifty third) congress, to which ho was thus elected in 1892, Mr. Gear, with experi ; ence ripened by even brief service in i the trensury department, was appoint ed to the ways and means ootnmittee and took a prominent part in preparing the minority report on the Wilson tar iff bill. Ilis election now to the sen ate. for the terra to begin March 4, 1895, will even enhance the value of services he may render his party while | continuing until that date a member of the house. Thn Inventor of Ice Cream. "A short time ago the daughter of the mint who invented ice ereum died in Philadelphia," said T. 11. Nelson to a Globe-Democrat man. "lie was a negro by the name of Jackson, and in the early part of the present century kept a small confectionery store. Cold custards, which were cooled after be- I ing made by setting them on a cake of I ice, were fashionable, and Jackson conceived the idea of freezing them, which he did by placing tho ingredients in a tin bucket and completely cover ing it with ice. Each bucket contained a quart and was sold for one dollar. It immediately became popular, 'and the inventor soon enlarged his store, and when he died left a considerable for tune. A good many tried to follow his yxample and ice cream was hawked about the streets, being wheeled along I very much as the hokey pokey carts I iro now, lut none of them succeeded j In obtaining tho flavor that Jackson | had in his product. Before his death j he returned to Africa and was a king in his own country. His daughter car- I ried on tho business until she died a ! few months ago." Tlio Dfvll'H Sink Hole. One of the most mysterious and un accountable freaks among the many oddities of the Lone Star state is the '•Devil's Sink Hole," a well-like cavity tying almost in the exact geographical renter of Edwards county. The majority of those who live near it de clare that it is a natural curiosity, but the more scientific of the residents be lieve it to ho the shaft of an old de serted Spanish silver mine. Stones lied to ropes have been let into it to a Jepth of one hundred and fifty feet without striking bottom. THE COUGHLIN Tfi.'AL. One of the Mont Interest lug Criminal Cueg ou Itecord. The trial of Dauiel Coughlin for the murder of Br. Cronin is one of the most interesting criminal trials which have taken place in Chicago since the famous trial of the anarchists. It has occupied manj' weeks, and many sen sational incidents have occurred, espe cially in connection with the testimony !of Mrs. Andrew Foy. The crime itself was one of the most mysterious iu criminal annals, and the punishment of the murderers was considered for a long time to be impossible. The trial j has been conducted before Judge Rich ard S. Tutliill. Judge Tuthill is a na tive of Vergeunes, 111., and was gradu- DANIEL COUGHLIN. ated from Middlebury college, Ver mont, in 1803. He practiced law in Tennessee and was state's attorney at Nashville from 1867 to 1870. He was admitted to the bar of Illinois in 1874, and was elected city attorney of Chi cago in 1875. lie received the appoint ment of United States district attor ney at Chicago in February, 1884, but served only a short tixne. He was elected in to his present position on the circuit court hencli. Before he became a judge Mr. Tuthill was promi nent in republican politics in HLinois, and was one of the "306" who sup ported Gen. Grant as the presidential candidate at the Chicago convention. The most widely known of the law yers engaged in the Coughlin case is ex- Judge Russell M. Wing, who was also counsel for the defense in the first Cro nin murder case. He was formerly judge of the county court of Kendall county. The prosecution is conducted by E. S. Bottum and Ivickham Scanlan. The most important ruling by Judge Tuthill was as to the admission of the declarations of co-conspirators, not on trial, made after the consummation of the conspiracy by the death of Dr. Cro nin. The general rule is that testi mony as to declarations of coconspira tors is allowed only when the declara tions were made in carrying out the conspiracy. Judge Tuthill held that under the circumstances of the case such testimony could be admitted, not as proving the guilt of the defendant, but to establish the fact that the mur der was committed by some one. The prosecution endeavored to show, not I that Coughlin did the act of killing, but that lie took part in the conspiracy in pursuance of which some of the other conspirators did the killing. Judge Tuthill held that the state must prove that one or more of the other de fendants killed Dr. Cronin, and that acts, words or letters of those other persons might he admitted to show that they committed the murder. WILLIAM E. CHANDLER. A Clmt About New Hampshire's Senior I'nlted States Senator. William Eaton Chandler, senior United States senator from New Hampshire, is one of the best-liked ami most bitterly hated men at Wash ington. As a friend he clings close as a brother; as an enemy he leaves no stone unturned to promote that which he considers right. Although fifty eight years of age, he is as spry as when he received his first national ap- RENATOR W. E. CHANDLER, NEW HAMP SHIRE. pointment in 1881. That appointment, by the way, soured Mr. Chandler to some extent. President Gar Held ap pointed him solicitor general, but the senate rejected him. In 1882 he was appointed secretary of the navy by President Arthur, and served until March, 1885. In 1887 he was elected to tliu United States senate to (ill the un expired term of Austin F. I'ike, which ended March ii, 1889. After a vigorous light in the New Hampshire legisla ture he was, on .June IS, IXB9, elected for a full six-year term in the senate. Senator Chandler lias never forgiven the men who "turned him down" in 1881, and probably never will. " IlayneiHl Cai liurnor. " A Baltimore man has given the name "hayseed gas burner" to a recent in vention of his. He claims, first, that it can't be blown out, and, secondly, that if it is blown out, it immediately relights itself automatically. Hotel proprietors he expects to tumble over one another in their eagerness to sup ply themselves with it. IIU Own Palace Car.

THIS cotton crop of India for 1893 was from 13 to 18 per cent, higher in the various provinces than that of the pre ceding year. COTTON culture is rapidly increasing In Burmah, as is indicated by the amount of exports, which increased seven fold In the last fiscal year over those of the preceding year. THE large, white Yorkshire pig has become the favorite breed with Danish bacon factories, and large numbers of them are imported yearly from Eng land for breeding purposes. A MESS pork factory has been estab lished at Canterbury, New Zealand. The company buys the green pork from the farmers and cures it by the dry salting process for shipment to Lon- I .lon, THE Balniock tester for determining the proportions of butter fats in milk, is very popular in Victoria, Australia, and its use seems likely to become gen eral in the butter factories of that col ony. THE pastoral industry of Argentina shows very slow increase. In 1874-5 the number of cattle killed in the sal ad eros was 1,542,000. The number last year was 2,000,000, and the preceding year 1,002,000. THE DAY'S FUN. MANAGER — 41 Ah, mad ami you sing from your heart."
