Another LEGENDARY FIRE.-About o'clock
on Saturday evening last frame barn on the
farm of Mr.. James r. Clark, near the Sheppard
Asy lun gate, on Charles street avenue, was dis
, covered TO he on fire. The flames were plainly
seen from Towsontown, and large number of
men and boys from this place were promptly
on hand and rendered valuable aid IN saving
the contents of the building. There were in
the barn four fine horses, a number of carriages,
one sleigh, a lot of agricultural implemen is,
and small lot of hay and straw, the latter only
being burned. Mr. John Halpiu, who lives at
the Shsspard Asylum gate, was among the
first at the fire, and succeeded in cutting the
horses lose and getting them out In time to
save their lives. He also saved much other
valuae property. The loss will probably
reach 90. 1t is not known how the ffe
origna out it is supposed to have been the
work o n incendiary.

The festivities were frequently held at public

In the celebration. These icasts and occasions

bringing many folks to distress, because they
would consume their funds and means in the
Bacchanalian revels Running down through
all periods OF time to the present, the celebra-
tlon OF the birth of the Saviour of men has been
devoted mainly to mrth. Advancing civilza

outstanding influences have softened and

or less our large cities and towns, and many
places IN the country, it was common thing
to see scores of men and youths reeling under
the influence of intoxicating liquors. IL is only
justice to all communities to say that we have
made no inconsiderable improvement in this
direction, and it is to be hoped that the day is
not far distant when these sights may pass from
our view altogether.
While the cry of "hard times" is upon us and
so many people are out of employment, we
should pause before making our Christmas in
vestlnents. Folks who are not sure they will
not be suffering for food before the winter is
gone should spend their Christmas over plain
fare. The money that is foolshly spent in
turkeys and sweetmeats and knick- knacks at
Christmas would give the family plain, com
Portable living for two or three weeks when we
are pinched. 1t is neither christianity, civili-
cation or sense to live sumptuously for two or
three days at Christmas and suffer for substan-
tlal food before the winter expires While it
puts money in circulation and makes trade live

Christmas, yet it is a crime IN those who cannot

catalogue of social evils-charged by
man whose name is known throughout
the lengths and breadths Of the land

senior counsel to successful termina-
tion in the Supreme Court. This was
the last case he ever tried, and proba-
bly, the last he ever will try.
But while he has thus been always
opposed to the railroads professionally,
he is not fanatically opposed to them.
While he would strictly guard the in
terests Of the people from the extor-
tions of these corporations, he would
with equal jealousy see that justice was
metcd out to the railroads. He want
ed to regulate, ,bnt not destroy the roads.
We have not the remotest idea whatev-
er that Judge Wilder would accept a
nomination, if rendered him. We have
never passed word with him in refer.
ence to this matter. It would seem,
however, that if nomination was pref
ty unanimously rendered him he would
scarcely be at liberty to decline, while
less than that we have no doubt he
would instantly refuse to accept.
In thus referring to the qualifications
of Judge Wilder for this important Of
flee we wish it distinctly understood
that PEE GRANGE ADVANCE does not as
pire to have candidate Of its own. It
is our business simply to point out to
the people men whom they can trust
under all circumstances and in every
emergency. Having performed this
duty we are done.

The greatest tax title suit that ever
was tried in this country has just been
decided in Pennsylvania, involving the
title to coal lands estimated at SIC, ,0O0,-
600. The lands belonged to Mr..
Turnbull, the father of the plaintiff,
Before it was known that rich beds OF
coal lay underneath it, and while it
was comparatively worthless, the owner
neglected to pay the taxes upon it, and
it was sold by the treasurer for the
taxes. The court held the tax sale
valid. We think, however, the fact
that the tax sale was made some forty
years ago, had something to do with
the decision Of the court.

KeepinE Milk Sweet.

Sending milk to the cheese factory is,
says the Ohio Farmer, often attended,
especially in the hot months of sum-
mer, by having the milk sour before
reaching its destination, and Of course
returned. This is more of the case
when the owner lives at a considerable
distance from the factory and is two
and even three hours on the road. To
obviate this difficulty is what every
dalryman, land woman too) desires, and
to such few hints may be of advan.
tage. How often do We hear the farm
er's wife say, If I only had cool
place to keep my night milk, spring.
house or cool cellar, I think I
could keep it sweet Yes, a nice
cool spring house like neigh Dor Brown s
would be nice, but you have not got it
so you must try something else. You
have some place to keep it of course.
Some shelves probably on which it is
set. Now just tell Johnny to take a
board about an inch and a half thick
and saw it into blocks about two
inches square, At night when you
strain your milk place three or four of
1nese DOCKS under each pan. Keep the
window up as much as possible. If you
are afraid the cats will
come in, get piece Of wire
cloth and tack it over the opening.
BY this me ans you may have a cool
place to keep your milk almost any
place you may wish. If you are build
ing new milk-room, or fixing over an
old one, do not make your shelves of
boards, but of two strips of timber,
about two inches square, placed Just far
enough apart so that the pan will sit
upon them without tipping. The latter
method will take less lumber, and be
SO much better than the former. In
hot weather do not mix your nights
and morning S milk until about time
the milk-wagon comes along. 1t has a
tendency to sour both more quickly
than it otherwise would.

Cows for Milk and Butter.

That the milking qualities Of COWS
are hereditary no one will deny. They
come from both sire and dam, and it is
claimed, not without some foundation,
that heifers take after their sires' dam
in regard to milking qualities oftener
than after their own dams. This NAV
be true in some cases, but not in all, and
especially not in crossing bulls of pure
breeds on common milking stock. We
often have letters like this:
'Will you have the kindness to give
me some information about COWS for
milk and butter purposes. l want to
breed especially for milk and butter for
family use, and want nice COWS, with a
good supply of good rich milk and but
ter. / want to establish herd Of this
sort for home use, and to supply the
country demand. What breed shall l
select from !'-Buy the best common
cows you can, which are good rich milk
ers. Use upon them a pure blooded
bull. If you use an Alderney bull you
are very sure of rich milk, but small
size in the progeny. If you use Dutch
bull, you will get large frame and prob
ably much milk Of medium quality.
The Ayrshire COWS will give medium
quantity of milk Of fair richness, while
the short-horn cross will be likely to
produce stock giving good quantity Of
milk, the quality variable. The ten
dency to give much milk is increased in
heifers by letting them have calves very
young, milking three times day, and
giving succulent, rich, milk-producing
feed.

Cheating the Charitable.
LA Crosse Republican, 30th.1

A few days since a man representing
himself as one Of the Minnesota suffer-
ers by the grasshoppers, and having a
paper purporting to be from the super.
visors of Martin county, called on our
citizens and we are informed raised
some $500 in cash. There was no evi.
dence that the names signed as super
visors were genuine, and that the man
was duly authorized to collect moneys
and supplies. He has left with the
money, and many are suspicious that
they may have given aims in the wrong
direction. A man from Mobiles county
called on US to-day, having
paper purporting to be signed
by a commissioner of that county.
The man may be truly sufferer from
the grasshopper region in Mobiles coun-
ty, but what evidence have We? Beg
gars with various documents claiming
to have come from the devastated coun-
try, are becoming rather numerous, es-
pecially as there seems to be no way to
determine the real facts in the case.
La Crosse people are very generous in
helping the needy, but are not willing
to beimposed upon. Years ago impos.
tors were going through the country
with paper certifying the bearer had
been shipwrecked, lost all he had, and
now was trying to get his dear wife and
children over to this country. Nobody
knew the man whose name was signed
to the certificate, and the Door Ship
wrecked foreigners became so plenty
that the giving process was stopped.
Now we have counterpart of this thing,
IN Minnesota. The men who ask for
help may be just what they claim to be,
but that is what should be known be-
yond question. Even admitting they
are honsst about it, it seems very bad
policy for Commissioners and Supervis-
ars to be issuing tickets to so many
beggars, without any proof of genuine
ness. These Commissioners or Super
visors of these counties devastated by
grasshoppers, should be known to the
Secretary Of State, and when certificates
are issued, they should be sealed with
the seal of the Secretary's Office, that
strangers might have ample proof that
the person presenting it, was the one
named therein. We are liable to be
almost overrun for the next six months
with these aid seekers, and we suggest
that persons calling personally for help
must show undoubted authority; and

Mustard and Potato BUGS.

An Ohio farmer writes as follows: I
have town lot planted in early pota-
toes, which for the last two years has
been allowed to grow up thick with mus
tard after the potatoes were worked out
the last time. As a result mustard
came up very thick this spring before
the potatoes appeared, and when the
plants were up the ground was so dry
and hard could not have them worked.
This mustard is very thick among them,
but it does not seem to interfere in the
least with their growth. I have Just
been all over the lot, and hasten to re-
peat mary bug" I was among the
vines last week often and only ca ptur-
ed two. My neighbors, whose potatoes
are not as smart as mine for want of
mustard) are undergoing fearful strug-
gle for life. The present prospects seem
strongl ly to indicate their ultimate fall

BRIGHAM You've refuses to answer the
complaint of his wife Ann Eliza, for

the ground that the court has no juris-
diction of the case. The old dotard
has probably got an idea that he is
above all earthly courts, and that his
property is also too sacred for the
clutch Of the law. If the old gentle

to shell out handsome amount of ali

The terrible calamity at Pittsburgh,
by which one hundred and fifty souls
were suddenly ushered into eternity,
and millions Of property were swept out
of existence, has scarcely created rip
pie upon the great ocean Of human feel
ing. Never before has disaster of any,
where's near equal magnitude fallen so
dead upon the public ear. The awful
floods in Louisiana, the Mill River ca.
lamity in Massachusetts, and the de.
struction Of crops by the grasshoppers
in Minnesota, have all created thrill
of feeling and sympathy throughout the
length and breadth Of the country.
But. here is disaster as appalling, as
terrible in it's loss of human life and
property as either of those, that scarce
ly attracts the attention of the news
paper reader. And why is this? Why
this stolidity in the face Of death, de-
structlon, and vide spread misery.
There can be but one answer to this
question. The public mind is so wholly
