Pleuro- pneumonia is playing havoc With the
cattle In New Jersey, and In spite of efforts,
directed by state law to stamp It out, the
disease seems to be spreading. But few days
ago farmer who bought some cattle in New
York city and took them home, found that they
were infected with this disease. Herds OF cat
tie are dying in Illinois and Missouri with
uro-pneumonia, which IS pronounced cpl
demic, and iI Is impossible now to estimate the
loss that may be entailed upon owners OF cattle
In this country by this disease. The symptoms
of the disease are manifested when 1t first at
tacks, and the sick cattle should at once be
isolated or killed. The first symptom is the
appearance of fever In the animal, and If a
COW, she next ceases to give milk and begins
to swell. Congestion Of the lungs next ap-
pears, and the lungs will yield slight crack
Ing sound In the last stages the animal VIII
seperate from other cattle and stand with its
back arched and head down. No cases of the
disease have yet been reported in this vicinity,
and by the exercise OF vigilance it may be kept
out

The people OF New York city are clamoring
for cheaper fares on the elevated railways.
They are not like to get them, however. 1t has
just been discovered that one of the companies
has already watered its stock to the extent Of
S6,5O0,G00. and there Is reason to believe the
others have been playing the same game, and
quite as heavily. This it is that keeps up the
cost OF telegraphing, riding on railways, etc.
If the public only had to pay enough to afford
reasonable dividends on the actual paid up
capital of these powerful monopolie5 the case
would not be so bad; but when the managers of
these concerns have the power to Issue fictitious
stock from five to ten times greater in amount
than was ever paid In, the process becomes
simple robbery. And the worst OF 1T is that
Congress after Congress and legislature after
legislature meet and make no effort to afford
the people any relief. On the other hand, there
Is every reason to believe that one OF the uses
which these watered stocks are put is just
10 prevent that very thing.

Machinery which spins seed cotton into thread
has been invented In the south, and is In opera
lion at Westchester, s. c. 1t is attracting
general attention in that section, and promises
to acd very largely to the Industry aud mate
rial wealth OF the cotton-growtng states. The
machin cry is cheap and simple, and can be
ppeI ated at very little cost. II is so arranged
that 1t separates the seed from the cotton and
spins the latter into thread that readily sells In
Ntw YORK at l614 cents per pound. This, 1t IS
CLAIM ed, adds 100 per cent. to the profit OF the
planter, as it saves him the expense OF ginning
and baling and OF bagging and ties. Small
factories OF this kind are being erected in
Georgia and South Carolina, and the papers OF
those states say that within year hundre ds Of
them III be In operation throughout the south.
1t is now announced that the great cathedral
at Cologne will be completed in $780, 63s years
after the work was commenced The first stone
was laid August Il, 124S, by Archoi shop Con-
rad, and in 1882 the choir was conSec rated with
great pomp. The work dragged In spite of
liberal donations, and 1t was not until 1887 that
the south tower was completed. During the
Reformation the work was suspended, and In
1874 the French soldiers camped in and desc
Grated the building. In 1910 the original plans
OF the architect were discovered, and In 1924
the Prussian government began to make re-
pairs. Since then the work OF completing the
edlfice In accordance with the original plans
has been steadily kept up. The cathedral Is In
the shape OF cross; is 511 feet long, PSI feet
wide, and the roof Is supported by 90 columns,
the center ones being 80 feet in circumference
The choir is 16l feet high, and the towers $40
feet IN height.
Not only Is Ireland convulsed with a civil
tumult and threatened with invasion but her
crops, both root and cereal, have proved fall
ures. The farmers realize that they can
scarcely, under the most favorable clrcum-
stances, save and hold enough to prevent their
families from suffering Of hunger, and this fact
strengthens their determination to enforce
reduced rents The area Of Ireland is about
tnat OF the state Of Indiana; there are 80 900
square miles OF land, Of which 5000 are noun
Jams, Dogs, lakes, or waste and about "a 900
are adapted to agriculture, but much OF this is
not capable OF high cultivation. Upon this
limited area Of land there now exists a popula.
ton OF 100000, three-fourths of whom are
farmers. These farmers pay an aggregate
annual rent OF over s6s, OO0, 900, In addition to
which they have to pay taxes and keep up i'm
provements on the farms. In case Of eviction,
all the improvements belong to the land. This
exhibit shows that there is ground for the dis
content among the Irish farmers.

Increased Telegraphic Service for
The Star-Direct Wire
tn New York.

In order to cover the news cenuers abroad
and at home as late and as fully as possible, the
news-room OF THE EVENING STAR has been
connected by direct wire with the ONCE Of the
Associated Press In the main building Of the
western Union Telegraph IN New York city,
from which the wires radiate to all paris of the
globe. This rapid service gives the very latest
news received from all quarters in New York
up to within few minutes OF THE STARS going
to press. 1t not only secures that, but the
opportunity for immediate inquiry as to i'm
pending events, or for additional details, thus
fully embracing the entire telegraphtc field Of
the United States for the regular and extra
editions. THE STAR is the only afternoon paper
south OF Philadelphia which receives the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches, exclusively, as we'll as
the cable dispatches from Reuters great agency
In London, which has a telegrapnic correspond
ent In every city and town In Europe. The
Importance and extent of this new enterprise
Is shown In the issues Of The STAR of Tuesday
and Thursday In the two and one half columns
of original and exclusive telegraph'c matter.
The efficient management at this end OF the
line Of the New York Associated Press has con-
tributed to this result. THE STAR will also
supplement this service from time to time with
special dispatches as events may demand.

We seem to be passing just now through
wave Of railway collisions, the worst feature of
which is that most Of them are clearly the re-
suit OF carelessness pure and simple. The latest
case Of the kind occurred last Tuesday on the
Northwestern railroad, at Baraboo, VS., In
which the conductor coolly pocketed telegram
telling him to await the arrival of heavy
freight train, and ordered the engineer to go
ahead. The result was that a mail agent was
badly hull, an engineer and fireman were
bruised considerably, and both engines and five
cars were completely wrecked. As nobody was
killed, the conductor probably can not be legally
hanged, which is to be regretted. He ought,
however, to be sent to prison for the rest Of his
life, that he might have a chance to study
out how he came to disebey his plain orders,
which he now processes to be entirely unable
to explain. That dozen or more people were
not killed outright and twice or three times as
many MANNED for life, Is due to no efrorG on his
Part to that end, aud he should be punished
accordingly, not only as penalty for his own
crtmlnality, but as an example II others, for
the protection Of the travelling public.

HOLSTERS as PIaythings.

Not long ago, in Sweden, two girls
used to watch for an old boatman who
in the season, would bring, up the ford
or creek, a whole boatload of Holsters
at time. Then the girls would beg
their nurse Johanna to let them play
with the queer things. Generally, leave
would be given, and the sisters would
fetch indoors with great glee as many
of the Holsters as they wanted, and
stand them up all around their play
room, stroking each on the head as they
did so, and thus putting it to Sleep
They had to keep sharp eye on the
creatures, though, and, as soon as one
threatened to wake, or waved its terri
BILE claws, they had to run and tickle it
on the head-when it would 90 off to
sleep again at once! Lizzie says it was
funny to see these play-soldiers-"ma-
rines," she calls demonstrating up stiff
aud straight, as though they were on
their best behavior at parade drill! Be-
fore you try this game, be sure that you
have the right kind of Holsters to deal
with, for it would be awkward if they
should turn on you and give you tit for
tat by ''stroking" and clicking" you
in their fashion with their claws.-.St.

ed Bo ;twick living in that town depart
ed this life. Farmer Bostwiek had been
all his lifetime an enthusiastic and de-
vout believer in spiritualism. After his
wife's death he anxiously waited mes
sage from the land Of shade, and defer
red the erection of q fitting monument
over his lost loves resting place until
she could designate the style of head
stone she was partial to. In life she had
eaten opium. On that account she
could not give the desired information,
until the ana .thetic was fully eradicated
from her system. Now mes the mar
vel. Farmer Bostwick waited patiently
for tidings from the other world, but
none came. Then the idea that his own
taking-off was near at hand took pos
session of him. With this solemn
thought in his head he contracted with
the sexton of the cemetery to dig his
grave, paying out $40 for the labor.
One day last week he made a trip to the
nearest undertaken, and on paying down
$50 closed an agreement with that per-
sonage to properly inter his bones. On
his way home Bostwick fell from his
wagon and died. He was buried at
Coliamer on Friday last, Rev. DR.. Cal
tbrop officiating. This is the story as
told to us.-Syracuse IN. ~ Courier.
