THE HENDRICKS COMPROMISE DENIED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-A private dis
patch received here from friends o.
Mr. Hendricks chsracterizes as absurd q
despatch in New York evening paper to
the effect that he favors compromise, and
would acsept the mission to England instead
of the Vice. Presidency. The Democratic
managers were considerably incensed at
such declaration from such man ss they
assume their Vice-P President-elect to be, but
an official denial of such an absurd story
has restored the Democracy to their equili-

single Chance for Peace.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-A special despatch
from Paris says there is high authority
for stating that, notwithstanding the hope
fql dispatches recently received from Con-
stantinople, there is but single chance of
peace in the East. Russia, in spite of the
intense ardor of her people for war, may be
obliged to yield at the last moment, owing
to her meads of transportation being defec-
tive. She has been taking her resources to
the utmost to get her army into condition
to strike with the greatest possible sudden
ness and vigor, but it seems now that her
means of transport are very inadequate to
the task of providing for such large army
as would be necessary to strike decisive
blow against Turkey.

Local Matters.
Juvenile TkjeVOe.

On Wednesday night about 10 O'Clock. :.
the large pane Of glass in the upper window
of the hardware store Of William H .Billany,
No. 214 Market street, was broken and the
window robbed of several articles. Mr..
George Steinicken, who resides on the
opposite side of the street, heard the crash
and the sound of falling glass, which being
unusual at that time of night, attracted his
attention and he ran to the door of his cigar
store, and saw . small boy with his hand in
the window and then run down the street
followed by four others he at once gave
the alarm, but the rascals had escaped.
Shortly thereafter, William McGran alias
Jimmy McGinnis, . young lad aged about
IA years, as Is bis custom, came to the police
station and applied for lodging. Chief
O'Toole, to whom Jimmy 10 well-known,
had him searched, when new pocket knife
was found in his possession. On being
accused of being one of the thieves, he
acknowledged his guilt, and informed the
Chief that two other boys, named Thomas
Flanagan and James Faulkner, were
his accomplices, who were arrested
by the police, and yesterday morning given
hearing before the Mayor, they confessed
their guilt, and McGrsn said in reply to
questions by the Mayor, that If he had
taken FlannaQan's advice he would not
have broken that window, because there
was nothing worth taking in It, but would
have went for another, evidently meaning
James & Bros, and that he did not break
the glass, but cut 1t with glass cutter,
that he got from the man at Fourth and
Market streets.
Flanagan said that he had nothing to
do with It, and was six yards from the
window when the glass was broken.
Faulkner said he was at the corner of
Third and Market streets, waiting for boy
named Reynolds to come out Of Wyman's;
McGran interrupted and told the Mayor
that he (Fsulker) was standing at the
corner looking out for policemen.
They were each held In the sum Of eS00
for their appearance at Now Castle to
answer the charge.
Faulkner's father became his security,
and with promise that he would send him
out Of town, he was released. NcGrsn and
Flanagan were sent to New Castle
yesterday afternoon.
In connection with this case, the Mayor
has ordered the policemen to prevent the
sale of glass cutters In the public streets
they, being in the hands ofthieves, as bad 81
'.jimmeys."
Mr.. Billaney states his loss in goods to be
but tridipg, as everything of value is removed
at uight All that he knows to be stoler
at the present time, lis four or five pocket
knives, the value of which is about IS the
greatest loss 10 the large glass plate which
cost SIS.

A Bow Writes About Corns.

Corns are of two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows
in rows, and animal corn grows on
toes. There are several kinds of corn;
there is the unicorn, capricorn, corn
dodgers, field corn, and the corn,
which is the corn you feel most. 1t
is said, | believe, that gophers like
corn, but persons having corns do not
like to "go fur" if they can help it,
Corns have kernels and some colonies
have eorns. Vegetable corn grows
on ears. but animal corn grows on
feet at the other end of the body
Another kind OF corn is the acorn;
these grow on oaks, but there is no
hoax about the corn. The corn is q
corn with an indefinite article indeed.
Try it and see. Many man when he
has a corn wishes it was an acorn
Folks that have corns sometimes send
for a doctor, and if the doctor himself
is corned he probably won't do so
well as if he isn't. The doctor says
corns are produced by tight boots and
shoes, which is probably the reason
when a man is tight they say he
is corned If a farmer manages well
he can get a good deal of corn on an
acre, but know of a farmer that has
one corn that makes the biggest acher
on mis- farm. The biggest crop of
vegetable corn a man raises the bet
ter he likes it; but the bigger crop OF
animal corn be raises the better he
does not like it. Another kind of
corn is the corn dodger. The way it
is made is very simple, and is as fol.
Iows-that is if you want to know !:
You go along the street and meet a
man YOU know has a corn, and a
rough character then you step on
the toe that has a corn on it, and see
if you don't have occasion to dodge.
In that way you will find ont what a
corn dodger is Hartford Post.

.o.. MURPHEY s.
The Rev. G. Bushby.

The HERALD last week contained
an account of the Rev. G. Bushby,
but as he was so we'll known and re-
spected in this county. we publish
the following additional facts:
The Rev. q. Bushby was born in
Yorkshire, England, January 1889
came to America in 1912. He was
converted to the Lord, under the
labors of the Rev Bro. Sims, in 1861,
and in the same year was married to
Miss Sarah Frances Coombs, whom
he leaves with her four children, to
mourn their heavy loss. In his
early religious life he was called to
the Christian ministry. He accord
ingly joined the West Wisconsin
Conference in the fall of 1868, and
was appointed to the Beetown cir
cult, and in the first year of his work
proved that the Master had called
him and that he lived for Christ.
The next year he was appointed to
the De Soto charge, where he re-
NAMED three years, abundant In
labor and success. He was then re-
appointed to Beetown circuit, and
at the close of one year was sent to
Patch Grove. He spent three years
there, and won many souls to
Christ. In 1871 he was appointed to
Monroe, where he toiled for three
years, and had great success IN rails
ing funds for the new church and
endeared himself to all the friends
in that town, and still lives in their
affec lions.
At the conference of 1874 he was
stationed in this city. My brethren.
the record of his work and zeal IN
the Masters cause is written IN our
hearts /; you know how he toiled Tor
Christ. He ever watched the di-
versited wants of his congregation.
His death wrote sadness in every
countenance and stirred the deep
est sigh of every heart in our city.
AL the conference of last fall he
was transferred to Forreston, in the
Rock River conference. He preached
there but two Sabbaths, and was at
tackled with typhoid fever and died
10 little more than enc week from
the commencement of bis illness.
His last sermon was thrilling dis.
course on the text, There is a way
that seemeth right unto man, but
the end thereof are the ways OF
DEATH
As be approached death be said,
i shall soon see Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, Moses, Paul and jesus, and
my ministerial friends and loved ones
gone before Then he shall say, 4
have preached on earth, but l shall
sing there By his requests those
present sang Shall We Gather at
the River and he clasped his hands
and tried to sing.
