From the Philadelphia Record. Our esteemed contemporary, tho Press, copies an article from a rural Republican newspaper making solicitious inquiry as to the causes of tho vigorous and vio lent support given by Democratic lead ers and newspapers to Senator Quay. In order that there may be no mistake or misapprehension on tho subject it should be remembered that the Repub lican supremacy in Pennsylvania is so overwhelmingly established as to make the rule of the party extremely arrogant and offensive. It administers the affairs j of the state with insolent disregard of the public welfare, because it does not fear correction at the polls. The break between the Republican factions is like a rift in clouds. Democrats are glad to ! see it. Even thousands of honest Re publicans are well satisfied with tho pro cess of purgation now tearing its way through the vitals of their organization. Thero are, however, specific as well as general reasons why Democrats should I side with Senator Quay rather than with | his enemies. Ho fights fair. Unresolv ed the doubt as to his popularity and and his right to load his party by sub mitting himself to tho crucial test of a popular vote. Democrats will never for get that when a Republican president and congress sought to substitute tho rule of bayonet for that of the ballot box Senator Quay's vote was cast against and helped to defeat the infamous force bill. A weak man, or a cowardly man afraid of the party lash, would not have dared to take that manly and magnani mous course. If Democrats had no reason to be sat isfied with any part of the past course of the senator in his dealing with public af fairs his present attitude and aims would demand, and secure, their sympathetic support. He has put himself on record as the opponent of corrupt municipal government, lie denounces the use of money in politics, corporate control of state and city legislatures, oilicial inter ference with primary elections, favor itism in the bestowal of contracts for public works, and the grant of exclusive franchises in matters of public neces sity. Ho also declares himself iu favor of tlii' abolishment of unnecessary ollie.es, the cutting down of redundant salaries, the divorce of school management from political influence, and tin; policy of making corporations pay for the public privileges granted them. He proposes tocarrrv the war for these and kindred reforms into the next legislature. The Democrats of Pennsylvania, while Senator Quay shall lead in this direc tion, cannot oppose him without stul tifying themselves. He has put himself, whether consciously or not. as far as the administration of state affairs goes, upon a Democratic platform. Standing upon that, every good Democrat and every good citizen can light for him with a stout stomach and clear conscience. If he shall win, he will save so much of Re publicanism in Pennsylvania as may be worth the saving. If ho shall fail, the cause he espouses will not fail with him. It cannot fail of indorsal at tholiandsof the people that moment they shall be able to apply to it the test of the popular judgement as expressed at the ballot-box.

A new complaint ii; now recognized by medical men. It is caused by an artificial st oppage of the pores of the skin. If any person will examine his i hand after riding for two or three j hours in a train —and this is especially true if he bo perspiring—he will find his hand is dirty. Hut a closer exnrai -1 nation will show the existence of a | fine grime, the particles of which, so soon as the perspiration ceases, act as minute corks stopping up the orifices I of the pores. llow deeply this grime works into the skin is shown by the fact that after a railroad trip one washes one's hands and face two or three times before they clean. It is ! this grime which produces railroad , kidney. Of course it is not supposed that an ordinarily healthy person will contract this disease in a trip of a day :or two. Hut where a person is already a sufferer from chronic disease of the kidneys it is possible that a week on railroad trains would aggravato his malady to an appreciable extent. A New-Woman Enterprise. "A refined widow lady" advertises in the Hoston papers that she is ready, for ; a financial consideration, to "lodge and board respectable husbands, look after their linen, give them a mother's care if ill." Everything will be done to amuse and interest them while under her care, while at the same time discip ' line will be maintained, and no latch keys will be allowed. Wives need have no apprehension on that score. Thero will positively, says the prospectus, "bo no funny business." A look, a word, will, it is thought, be enough to quiet, and, if needs be, break the spirit of tho ; proudest and most bullying of hus bands. Hundreds of certificates as to "the refined widowed lady's" skill in handling desperate cases can be had. LAST winter Mr. Overman, a farmer, near Windfall, Tipton county, Ind., was found dead with a pistol near him. No cause for suicide was assigned. Tho other day a paper written by Mr. Over man was found in his effects that ex plained the mystery. Overman's letter says that twenty years ngo an English man came to his house with thirty thousand dollars and tried to induce him to go into tho ranch business in Colorado. Ho murdered the English man, buried his body in a marsh and took his money and buried it on his farm. The place is not designated. This explains tho hermitlike life of Overman for these many years. Ax army of black worms invaded tho town of Thomaston, Mo., a few daj's ago and took complete possession of : the place. They entirely stripped tho i foliage from the elm trees that border the streets, ns well as from all the ap ple trees in the suburbs,all of which aro now as bare as in midwinter. The worms fell from tho trees in showers, and women walking in the streets carried umbrellas for protection from the un pleasant pest. The worms also invaded the houses, to the dismay of the house wives. An odd feature of the visita tion was that Thomaston was the only town in the county that had been thus invaded. IT is said that some summer hotels will employ "social lubricators" (luring 1 tlio present season. A "social lubricator," it seems, is a woman, who, in return for her board and lodging, binds herself to umuse the guests. It is doubtful, how ever, if the scheme will work. A nice, presentable man would bo much more apt to amuse the women, while, on the other hand, if the "social lubricator" tries to amuse the men she will very quickly hear from the wives. IT has remained for a Pennsylvania publisher to strike at once the latest and the greatest idea yet. The Beaver Falls Journal offers to present to every new subscriber "a beautiful brown Turkish towel, size, twelve by twenty two inches, two-ply goods, fancy col ors." This is doing away with the tradi tionary customs of the print shop with a vengeance. The Journal very likely has carried the innovation so far as to change the ollice towel once or twice a month. WITHIN a 3 r ear the mails between New Fork and Brooklyn will be whisked back and forth through pneumatic tubes, running from one government building to the other. The pipes will bo large enough to admit small pouches, and it is said the cost will not exceed one hundred thousand dollars. The pneumatic delivery of parcels also is nnder consideration in several large cities. BY statistics it Is shown that Ohio has the largest number of farms of any state in the uni0n—256,204. Illinois comes second, 252,053; then Missouri, 250,832; Texas, 248,782; New York, 220,- 082; Pennsylvania, 211,472; lowa, 205,- 485; Indiana, 205,381. No other state has more than 200,000. The percentage of ownership in farms is larger in the north and west, as is the percentage of homes also. THE danger to crops in some of tho western states from grasshoppers is so threatening that the various states have taken hold of the master and a war of extermination is being carried on. Prof. Lugger, who is in charge of the matter, uses a machine that kills two bushels a day, yet the insects aro increasing. UNDER the new census the population of lowa is figured at two millions and a half. This is an increase for the state of six hundred thousand since 1890. TOLD BY FAMOUS MEN. Senator Perkins as a Follower of the Sea. A RUNAWAY AT TWELVE YEARS. Helping Homesick Roys to Escape —He Sailed Around the Horn at Sixteen—Con gressman Culberson's Experience as a Statesman. [Copyright, 1805.] It is often said that tho life of somo par ticular mail roads like a romance. This is cortalnly true of Georgo Clement Perkins, senator from California. Mr. Perkins ran away from homo when ho was nothing but a slip of a boy 12 years old or thereabout. Boing a native of Maine, ho naturally had a fondness for the sea, and, like many an other boy, to sea ho went. He has seen ev ery portion of tho civilized world and a great deal that is not civilized. Seven years of his boyhood were spent on the sen, go ing from this country to every part of Eu rope. He has been to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, England, Ireland, Scot- SENATOR GEORGE C. PERKINS, land, Wales, France, Germany, Spain and tho countries bordering on the Mediterra nean sea. He lias had adventures, too, and when In tho mood ho can entertain his fel low senators with romances of the sea that equal tho tales of Marrvat. Ono story of the romantic side of a sail or's life is told by the California senator, a story which shows that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. lie shipped with a brig loaded with lumber from St. John, N. 11., bound for Dublin. Among the crew wero three boys younger than himself. The brig Lizzie Thompson had never boon to sea, and she was found to lie unsea worthy after u few days out. The crew, in cluding tho boys, consisted of but 13 hands. The boys got sick and did not want to go any farther after the brig be gan to leak. Tho men did not like the looks of tilings and mutinied. They refused to work the pumps and insisted that the j vessel should he put back, and tho captain was finally compelled to yield. That ho was wild about being forced to do something against his will by the mu tiny of the crew those who know the na ture of the average sea captain of 40 years ago will easily imagine. They came back to St. John and an chored, awaiting the action of the authori ties. Tho three boys wore disgusted with i the whole sailing business and had bad enough of tho sea. Perkins agreed to get them off and away. Ho chose a time when tho tide was coming in and the current was very strong. Tho tide rises 28 feet at St. John, higher than at any other port in tho world. He got tho thrco hoys in a boat and was about to let go when one of them refused to go unless his chest was carried along as well. This was impossible, and tho boy olainljored out, leaving Perkins and the other two in the boat. A long lino was attached to tho painter of the boat, and they slipped away from the ship (us if they were merely having a little frolic on the tide. But the rope soon parted, as Per kins knew it would, and tho boat sped away on tho tide like an arrow. The boys were taken to a place of safety, and on the ebb tide Perkins returned. Of course it was an accident, and he was not large enough to bring back two boys nearly as large as himself. The fact that he returned was evidence of his good faith, and neither lie nor any member of the crow was punished for mutiny. The ship was repaired and made an uneventful voyage. The boys he helped to get away shipped on a brig to Providence, and lie lost sight of them. Lost year a big fellow walked into Mr. Perkins' ollico in Oakland and asked him if his name was George Clements. He said "Yes," for that was the name he went by In his seafaring days. "Well," responded tho big fellow, "I am ono of those boys you helped get away from tho Lizzie Thompson in St. John harbor." Ho soon proved his truthfulness by mentioning in cidents which none but lie could know. Ho had had quite a varied experience, hav ing been through tho entire war, and after it was ovor settled in San Jose, Gal. He did not know that tho prominent shipown er and merchant, Georgo C. Perkins, was ouco his shipmate, and it was only after Mr. Perkins was elected to the senate, when some of his early history was pub lished as well as the fact that ho was in his younger days known as George Clem ents, that it occurred to him that his boyhood friend and the senator wero the same person. Botli had seen much of life since they parted on tho St. John's tide. Once when Mr. Perkins was making a speeeli in the senate in favor of tho Nica ragua canal bill another senator interrupt ed him as he was telling about the diffi culties of shipment byway of Capo Horn and asked if lie had ever sailed around tho cape. "I sailed around Capo Horn before the mast when I was 10 years old," roplled I tho California senator, and ho broke into a | carefully prepared speech to tell something ! of wlmt navigation around the Horn was. j His description of the waves running I mountain high, tlie difficulty experienced | whether ships went byway of Magellan I strait or on the outer course and how they | often had to turn and run before tho wind j and wait for weeks for better weather bo- I fore they could make a trip was very en tertaining to Ills colleagues. Mr. Perkins, | having first sailed as mariner, in after life made the trip in iiis own vessels. JIo had also brought vessels around for other poo pie. He admits now that he has no hankering for a trip by tho way of Cape Horn and says that shipping that way in tho best built vessels of today will lie attended by loss of property and life, to say nothing of tho length of the trips. Senator Perkins has several times crossed tho isthmus of Panama and lias made extensive trips in the orient. All of ids seafaring life was Hot prosperous, and when lie went to Call fornla to remain and sock his fortune ho worked his passage to the port of San Francisco and also his passage to the mines. lie* began Ills California career as a porter in a storo in Oreville, a store that was then doing a business of SI,OOO per month. He soon got control of the busi ness, and it. grew rapidly until it reochod the enormous amount of $700,000 a year. While he is a prosperous business man and engaged in immense affairs, ho likes to revert to the days of his early struggles and Is not ashamed to have it known that ho was a sailor boy. One of his interesting stories is of an adventure ho had in Chris tian ia, the capital of Norway. Ho was tho youngest of a party on shore leave, and having ventured far away from tho beaten paths of sailors in their efforts to see tho city tho men entered tho king's palace in tho midst of some grand fete then in prog ress. They were not discovered for some time, but Anally tho older men of the par ty, having imbibed too much wine, began soaring tho American eagloand exploiting their views in away that was far from satisfactory to tho Norsomon. They also became too familiar with the ruddy cheeked Norsewomen, and this was soon resented in a manner that looked as if they would all bo taken prisoners or killed before they got out of the hands of tho mon who were ready to fight like vikings. Mr. Perkins was the only man of tho parly who had not been drinking, and who had not given cause for umbrage, but being with the other American sailors he was in for the same fate as his companions. It was because ho had kept sober that es cape was possiblo. He had noticed a side entrance, loading to a part of tho palaco grounds, which was not thrown open to tho crowds in tho other parts of tho build ing. When in tho course of the scrimmage tho Americans reached this ontranco, ho induced his companions to bolt through it. This they successfully did, shaking off their assailants and walking past a sleepy sentinel out into the park. Tho soldiers woke up in tlmo to parley with their pursuers, and whilo this was going on the sailors mode a run through tho park, scaled the walls and found them selves in a strange part of the town. After two or three hours' wandering they again got their bearings and returned aboard ship. Tho Christianla authorities made every effort to ascertain the identity of tho sailors who had created the disturbance, but tho silence of the ship's officers, who did not want any of their sailors detained, and tho bold declaration that no leavos of absence had been granted any of the crew tho night of the disturbance probably pre vented an international complication which might havo resulted in confinement of tho future senator for a time in a Nor wegian prison. No Sense of Gratitude. Representative Culberson of Texus, ono of the members of the international mon etary commission for tho house, tells an interesting story of his personal experi ences as a statesman in Washington. "Say, do you know that follow Hicks—that fel low that came hero with alligator boots and wanted mo to get him an office?" bo gan Mr. Culberson in his inimitable style. "Well, durned if he ain't going to run agon mo for congress. He came up hero, you know, and insisted as how he'd done a heap for me in tho election and allowed that I'd oughtcr get him fixed in some good government job. His boots wcro great big things," said Mr. Culberson, measuring off about throe feet with his hands. "Well, I took him around to the departments with me and did my level best to get him a place. It'd be all right and we'd apparently be getting along first rate with the officers of the departments, and an office seemed to loom right up with in reach of us until the officials caught sight of them boots of his. They'd kinder shy at them and all at once grow cold and distant. This occurred several times, until finally I said, 'Well, Hicks, I guess you'd better stay in your hotel and loave mo to go it alone.' So Hicks he staid indoors with them alligator boots, and pretty soon I l.amled him an office. I had him made an Injun agent. He was to go out there to one of those Utc reservations. Well, I don't know what it was, whether the Injuns heard ho was coming or not, but just be fore Hicks got his commission all them hlnmcd Utes got up and escaped. They run clean off, and I don't know where they brought up. Anyway, since there wasn't no Injuns, it wasn't no use sending an Injun agent out there, so Hicks didn't get his job after all. He got sorter mad at mo then, and he went back home to Tex as, jincd the Populists, and now he says he's going to run agon mo for congress. Some men haven't got any souse of grati tude anyway.'' WALTER WELLMAN. Personal ve. The proprietor of a large building in London which contains several fiats on the upper floors says t hat he never succeeded in renting these apartments readily until ho employed a very eloquent Irish woman as his agent. Several times tho graceful "blarney" ol this excellent woman has secured a cus tomer where a less gifted ageut would probably have failed. "Klnvayiencea, is it?" says she to appli cants for tho rooms. "Sure, it's hot an could wather at all hours of tho day an nolght, agrayablo to yertashtc, an scullery coppers that wild make a washerwoman ol tho queen of England by prifforoneo." "Are tho rooms comfortably warmed?" asks an inquirer. "Are they warmed?" with a surprised air. "Sure. Wld a sloight turn o' yet wrist yo have anny degray o' timpcraturc known to the theriniotlior." "Hut the staircaso. Is that easy to go up?" "Now, thin," says tho eloquent agent at if she were reaching the climax of all the wonderful advantages of the building, "the staircase is that aisy that when yo're goln oop yo would well belavo that yo're com In down." Tho intending tenant usually capitulates at this polnt.—Answers. It Makes the Whole World Kin. One could tell by tho white bourse and the flower covered coffin that a child's life had gone out Into the unknown. As tho funeral train slowly bore the white bud to its resting place on Mother Earth's bosom, it passed a home for friendless children. All play was stopped, ami the children were hanging on tho fence watching tho procession pass. As the licarse went by ono little fellow took off bis battered hat and another followed his example, until all the little boys who wore old enough to know what it meant, and some little tots who did not understand, had their hats in their hands. "One touch of nature makes tho whole world kin," and one could not help imagining tho feelings of that father and mother as they saw this mark of sym pathy shown by those who havo no parents to care for them, whose only knowledge of love and tenderness must, he gained from the wire of self sacrificing women who have refrained from tasting the joys and sorrows of wifehood and motherhood that they may minister to the sick and forsak en.—New York Press.
