The sensational press deyotes much time
and space TO the relations between Secretary
Bristow and the President but there are
really nothing but rumors and surmises
to show that the Babcock trial has affected
their friendly relations. There has been
nothing to indicate that the President de-
sires to shield guilty man, or the Secreta-
~ to convict an innocent one. The oecre-
tary is CARRYING out the prosecutions in the
spirit of the order of the President, that no
guilty man be allowed to escape, and zen
Grant is so little in the habit Of abandoning
a man for obeying his instructions that
there is COOL reason for doubling the report
of his intention to dismiss Secretary Bris-
tow Tor dJins hi- duty.

Tie evidence ir the Babcock trial shows
al least TIL, much. that Gen Babcock had 4
suspicious intimacy with members Of the ST.
Louis whiskey ring. His counsel have prom
ised 10 show that No money was sent to
him, and explain the testimony Of Everest
as a trick On the part of Joyce They call
attention to the fact that joyce did not place
the letter supposed by Everest to contain
money! privately in the postoffce, as was
natural In case OF such a criminal act. but
he got ) 900 bill, paraded two envelopes
addressed to Babeoek and Avery, pretended
10 put money IN each,a sent them by Ever
eat to the mail This was to convince the
distillers, through Everest, of their security.
Ii Is claimed that it was an attempt to sacri-
fee Babeock in order 10 serve the fraudulent
purposes Of Mcdonald and joyce. Ii Is
easy to see how Tar short the evidence comes
of proving that Babcock received $500 from
the ring. Perhaps the darkest nanmuvre
OF the defence i the manner in which the
prisoners counsel have fought the admis-
sion Of the dispatches. This hardly tallies
with the request OF Gen. Babcoek to have
the privilege Of explaining them before a
competent court.

MANIA FOR FAST RIDING.
HOW TO COME HOME FROM THE CEN
TENNIAL.

Almost every man woman and
child has q mania for fast riding,
and for the benefit Of flying sight
seekers, we will call attention to the
fastest through train in the United
States. Leaving Philadelphia by
the Pennsylvania Railway at 1920
any morning, passengers, ride over
the line between the Centennial city
and Pittsburg, 354 miles, in ten
hours, This particular train is
composed of parlor cars, so arranged
that the magnificent scenery on both
sides of the line cannot be over
looked. The old, highly cultivated
and rich agricultural districts east
of Harrisburg are extremely in
teresting to the traveller, whilst
the mountain ranges, the Horse
Shoe Curve, Kittanning Point, the
Connemaugh, the Allegrippus, and
hundred of charming varied views,
may be enjoyed during daylight by
taking the Limited Fast Express.
BY this train the sleeping cars are
attached at Pittsburg, and passen-
gers arrive in Chicago the following
morning, many hours in advance of
all other routes, and necessitating
only one nights ride. No other
Railway on this Continent can offer
the inducemcnt of a lightning train
from the East. c. NJ. Clark, at the
General Ticket Office, 90 Clark ST.,
Chicago, will give all information.
Particular attention given to letters
Of inquiry.

Mr.. L,NAR, under pressure of the
campaign, explains that the outrages
IN the South against Republicans
are committed by hot-headed young
men, and do not have the sanction
OF those who have the good of the
South TT heart. To mau who is
going to DO shot, the explanation
ought to be satisfactory. But some
people are prejudiced against being
shot, even though it be by hot
headed young men.

su'ned. The reason given by the
Servian authorities for rejecting an

the Turks do not faithfully respect

the reports from Belgrade are true,

SNAKE the cider as early in the season
as possible When the barrel is filed
let fireman, where the sun con shine
upon it part of the day. Leave the
bung out and insert the neck end Of o
bottle. This will let the sir in, while ft
will keep the flies out. Put into each
barrel one sheet of foolscap paper, a
half pint of white beans and half pint
Of good brewers yeast, or other yeast
that is as good Also, if you choose.
put in rint of molasses. Manage in
this way and you will have vinegar in
