THE FARMERS ALLIANCE


In New York state what is called the
Farmers Alliance has been organized. AS.
to it's objects the Elmira Hus5a,adnaq2s says:
The work which the alliance was organ
lied to accomhlish is an important one, and
should enlist farmers not only, but all class
es OF citizens who have an earnest desire for
real reforms. 1t needs no argument to sat
isfy thoughtful reading men of the injustice
Of our assessment laws. The insurance
monopoly is generally understood, and the
burdens which are placed upon the farmers,
merchants and manufacturers Of this state
by the irresponsible management of our
great railways are becoming to grievous to
be borne. The alliance is in itself protest
against these wrongs, and is doing good
work in uniting earnest men in an effort to
correct the glaring evils in the legislation Of
the state,. 1t is designed to arouse the pow
erful farming. class from their lethargy, and
to set them at work for their own protection
and in behalf of the great industrial inter-
esrs OF the state.
The Farmers Alliance is political but
not a partisan organization. 1t purposes to
work within the existing parties, aiming to
secure the nomination of good representa-
tive men on all the tickets, and to prevent
the nomination and election of railroad at
torneys and the agents OF. monopolies to
positions of Influence in our legislature. As
Il result of the work OF the alliance, in the
last assembly of this state there was a lar
ger number of farmers and representatives
Of our industrial interests than there had
been in that body for many years. and we
believe the proportion of these classes. will
be largely increased in the legislature to be
chosen at the next election. Farmers are
conservative class, and are slow to arouse
themselves as to the Importance OF taking
action on questions which vitality concern
them; but the leayen is working, and little
by little the demand for truer representation
is growing among. the thoughtful voters of
the state, The FARMERS Alliance has enlist
ed the energies Of many good men, WHO are
doing valuable work III behalf of the re-
forms sought.

A Choice of Smells.

In Italy and Germany the railway
trains are provided with accommodations
for smokers, but there is no end of
trouble and grumbling occasioned by
ladies and non smokers Inadvertently
getting into the wrong compartment. A
good story is told of gentleman travel
ing in Italy who found lady in a car
where smoking was allowed. He politely
threw away his cigar and said nothing.
This did not satisfy the lady, who at
once referred to the improperly of
smoking at all, as the smell of the smoke
remained on the clothes and was very
disagreeable. II will not annoy you,
my dear LADY, said the gentleman, and
he jumped out of the carriage and en-
tered another in haste. 1t was a second
class carriage. but he had not time to
change as the train had started. At his
side he had countryman who had
walked evidently through not very per-
fumed fields. His clothes were in sad
plight of filth; he scented the whole
compartment Happy thought. "Have
you ever travelled tirstclass?' said the
gentleman to the countryman. "Never,
sir" answered the man. "Then we will
change tickets" said che gentleman, at
the next station. | will show you the
carriage" And, truly, he had the salts
faction of seeing the countryman enter
the carriage he had left.

Daniel Webster's Widow.

A dainty blue cap with futtering rib
hons, worn by a white-haired woman,
caught the eye of reporter yesterday,
as he was passing the broad portico Of
the Leroy mansion in New Rochelle, on
the Sound. Something in the face be-
meath the cap arrested attention. Bright
hazel eyes contrasted strangely with the
snowy ringlets of hair and the pale,
almost expressionless cast of features.
Evidences were not wanting of advanced
age, yet graceful form, slightly above
the medium height, made the possessor
look stately in her old age.
"Who is that queenly old lady?" was
asked of gardener working near by.
"Mrs Webster, sir; the widow of
Daniel Webster"
The widow of Webster Seated alone,
at the age of IS, within twenty miles of
the great, stirring metropolis, a link be-
tween the busy present and the dead,
historic past.
"Can you oblige me with an intro
duction, sir?" asked the reporter of Mr..
William Leroy, who at that moment ap-
peared on the ground.
"With great pleasure. Mrs. Webster
is my only sister," returned the proprie-
tor. "But," he added, 81 am afraid
she cannot converse much. Her mental
faculties are 80 impaired that she is
hardly cognizant OF her surroundings,
while the past is q total blank"

Kentucky's Patriarch.

Charles Addington, Esq, was born in
Culpepper county, Va, October 10,
l777, and moved to Scott county, KY,
where he now lives, about sixty years
ago. He has been married three times,
FIRST in 1908, second in 1910, and the
third time in 1870. He raised sons
and daughters, and has 1877 grandchiI.
dren, $50 great grandchildren, and 80
great great grandchildren now living.
On his centennial anniversary his rela-
tives and friends gave him a grand din
ner, at which about 1000 persons at
tended. The old gentleman, while en-
joyipg the bountiful repast, told of
many pleasant recollections of the past.
He has been consistent member of the
Baptist church for fifty years, and the
family have the reputation of being
orderly and law abiding citizens. Not
one has ever been known to be guilty of
any penal otfense. They have filled
public offices of trust with honor and
dignity, and are noted for their mathe-
matical talents, many of them teachers
in the best schools.-M. Sterling Demo-
crdt.

Pensions.

Mr.. Bentley, the Commissioner Of Pensions
in his annual report states that the number of
new claims OF all classes filed during the year
was 61.50a OF these 1882 were original
invalid claims, being more than double the
number of the same class filed in either of the
four years from 1871 to 1874. As many as is, 240
were for service in the war of 1872. One III six

$4,000, making an aggregate saving in the
bureau for the year of $iS!.l72 Since tine con
solidation the pensions have been paid more
promptly than before. The pay service has
advanced to high degree of efficiency. The
Commissioner is Of the opinion that the reduc-
ton in the rate of the agents compensation
made i'll the Appropriation bill for the current
year cannot be maintained without injury to
the service, and some further allowances should
be made for their expenses. On the Both of
June, ISIS, there were ~, 99S pensioners Oh

considerably during the current year ON ac

Of this amount, $40 aOl So was retained from

An intermediate Husband.

Among Moslems divorce is even sim
pier than among the Jews. No bill of
enforcement" is necessary, but only the
short verbal formula of "Veil myself,
take thy marriage portion and 60" A
wife may be thus repudiated twice and
taken back, but if the fatal formula
shall be pronounced third time, she can
only be taken back after fully consum-
mated marriage with and divorce by an
other husband. This latter condition
sometimes results ia awkward contre-
temps. The person chosen to play the
part of intermediary husband is general
Iy the Oldest and feeblest poor man that
can be found. For consideration
he consents to discharge the provisional
function, and engage to divorce the lady
on the morrow. But it occasionally
happens that the faithless old sinner,
having pocketed and earned his fee, re-
fuses to surrender a pretty and wealthy
bride, or only does SO after much lon
ger usufruct than was bargained for,
and for further considerable money
ransom. As may readily be supposed,
such condition and its incidents have
weight with even the hastiest-tempered
husbands, and co act with other cOnsid-
erations to protect wives against the risk
of talak (repudiation) except for grave
and sufficient reasons. Certain it is
that, barring such cases, divorces are
now quite as rare among the Moslem as
the Christian subjects OF the Porte, and
q hundred times less common than among
our more civilized" selves. Before the
Cadi, however, as before Sir James Han
men, the law in this respect favors the
wife less than the husband. The latter
may brave social feeling and cut the
coojugal knot when he likes, but the
wife can only regain her freedom on
proof of positive Entertainment or for one
or two other grounds of complaint, and
even then atethe cost of abandoning her
dowry and trousseau to her peccant hus-
band.-Fraser's Magazine

at ll6 places, approprating total OF $500, 10C
in addition to the balance available from pre-
vious appropriations Upon the approval of
projects submitted by the various subordinate
engineer officers steps were taken for putting
the works at once into execution, and they are
now being conducted under the contract sys-

chase of material in open market, as appeared
