One teaspoonful of cream tartar to

ED. I1os12. COLUMN: I see, by a
late issue, "1nquisitiveness' has adj
vised us s:farmers wives and tlaugl,--
ters'' to use ou: surplus time in
"Poultry Raising" if we have any
surplus time. 1t is just my idea up
on the subject. I hope to hear more
from the same source. That little
hint in regard to the offering Of
special premiums at our county fair
the coming fall needs q little atten~
tion from us women. It is conse-
ded fact that there can be no success
full County or State Fair without the
aid Of women. Who wculd care to
attend q fur if there were no prod
ucts OF the household On exhibition.
1t seems to me unfair to appoint a
committee composed entirely OF men
to draft OUT a catalogue Of premiums.
What does 4 man know OF the time,
care and labor Of preserving, pickel~
ing, canning, making bread, cakes,
pies CIR puddings; piecing bedquilts.
hraiding Or making rugs, chair and
sofa cushions; knitting fascin;.tors,
sacques, scarfs, mittens and stock
ings-the old fashioned name-and
a million Of other articles. Look
over any list of premiums ofFairs in
the State and see how little is offered
for Il woman's work. For a pair of
socks which perhaps has taken tired
mother or grandmother all winter to
knit, one dollar is what these Lords
of Creation propose to give for all
that work. They would not be sat-
isfed with that for the amount of
labor and time expended if they had
been the worker; and this same sell
fishness extends on through the
whole list of premiums. 1t is just as
hard work for woman, whom these
same L. Cs delight in calling the
weaker sex, to work all summer on
al article she wishes to enter for q
premium as for man to fatten and
care for pig, horse or COW; and she
should have a corresponding pcemi-
um. say, to make things even, ap-
point some ladies', two or three, to
assist the committee in making out
Il list Of premiums for household ar
ticles; those who have had expert
ence and know what time and labor
is. I should enjoy being one Of that
committee. THIS letter has grown
too lengthy; next time l will give
some Of my ideas about housekeep-
ing. PENELOPE.

The Nfhflist Destroyers-BOld Attempt
 to Wreck a Train i'm Eng1and-Rus-
 sian Magnstes on Board-ProvtdenttaA
 Defeat of the DastardIy Plot.
 LONDON, Sept. 13.--A most diabolical at tempt was made to wreck the down express train on the Northwest railway. This train, which came from Edinburgh and Glasgow, it appears was supposed to carry among it's passengers the Russian Grand Duke Constaa- tine and Admiral Poppof, of the Russian navy, and some other Russian officials, who had been visiting Greenock for the purpose of examining certain new vessels now in course of construction there. Nihilist refu- gees in England, it is believed, had concocted a plan for blowing up the train and destroy ing these officials, as well as the other pas sengers, for the purpose of demonstrating that even in England the lives of the Russian prince and his aids were not safe from the vengeance of their terrible and merciless as- sociations. By most providential interpo- sition the well laid plot failed of accomplish ment, although the escape was very narrow one. Near the station of Busby, a village not far from London, some plate layers working on the track discovered at A spot over two hundred yards from the village some fresh plates which had been tempered with. The foreman of the plate layers made an examination which re- suited in the discovery that four pounds of dynamite had been placed under the plates. The plates which joined two of the railshad been removed and the dynamite placed un- derneath The dynamite was connected with an india rubber tube containing gunpowder. The locomotive in it's passage cut this tube in half, but at 8 point where, by an almost miraculous accident, the percussion caps which were intended to fire the dynamite had been misplaced They failed to explode, the train passed in safety over what was designed to blow it and it's passengers into eternity The train had passed only few moments when the discovery made. Intelligence of the affair was at once sent to London, and the most skilled detectives of Scotland Yard, with their foreign auxiliaries, are now seeking to discover the miscreants who de- vised and tried to execute this horrible plot Happily the chance of their detection is good
 A careful record is kept of all refugees from Russia and something like an espionage has been kept over their movements. Sus- picion already attaches to lady and gentle man who have been often seen near Busby, and to some companions of theirs who occa- sionally met them at house near that place.

Trades Unfons-An Impetus to the Move
 nent in Ireland.
 DUBLIN, Sept 13-The trades union con- eress, consisting of elected and carefully chosen delegates from the leading trades unions of the United Kingdom, met here to- day. The fact of this meeting taking place in Ireland is regarded as important, as indi eating the extent to which the idea of trades unions has developed in this country. Hith- erto the meetings of the congress have been held in the principal cities of England and Scotland, the present being the first one in Ireland. Labor heretofore has never con- bined in this country for it's own protection. But recently the Irish operatives have been opening their eyes more and more widely to the necessity of presenting common front in defence of their interests, as in other parts of the kingdom. The report of the paria- mentary committee was submitted. It con graduated the congress on the passage of the employers liability, the grain cargoes and merchant seamen's wages acts This con- mittee's functions are to watch actual or pro posed legislation in Parliament in the inter- est of the trades unions, and to bring such influences to bear as it may think best to se- cure that end Mir. Murphy, well known trades unionist of Belfast, was elected presl- dent of the congress. It is believed that the session of the congress in Dublin will great ly stimulate the formation of trades unions throughout Ireland, and throw much light upon their usefulness and mode of operation.

Excitement in Church-A Priest Refuses to Celebrate Mass.
 ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13.-A sensation was ere ated in Catholic circles of Cohokia, Illinois yesterday, when the parish clergyman there Rev. Father Kempen, refused to celebrate mass, owing to the presence of an excommu- nicated member, John L. Brackett, being in the church. About year ago Rev. Father Kempen advised his people from the altar to start Catholic school Bracket was teach ing the only school in Cohoka, and became very mad at the priests action, and repeated ly insulted him, on one occasion splitting twice in the priests face. The Bishop was advised of the affair, ane instructed Father Kempen to formally excommunicate Brock ett, which Father. Kempen did Yesterday Crockett was in the church, and as no one endeavored to get him to leave, Father Kem- pen left. The affair has aroused considera- ble feeling.

Bloody Fight at n Picnic.


 LOUISVILLE, Sept. 13.-A very serious shooting afray took place at picnic about twelve miles from Owenton on Saturday. A difficulty arose between some drunken boys about some trivial matter, which before 1t end ed involved three brothers named Smith, three brothers named Hammond and half brother of the Hammonds named Bernard Acree. The shooting was general and was indulged in by all the parties, but the Smiths proved more expert with their weapons, and the boy Acree, eighteen years old, was shot in the head and instantly killed, and the Hammonds were all wounded. Two of them, Jonathan and Sam the attending physicians say, are mortally injured. The Smiths and Ham monds are cousins, and Sam Hammond is brother-in-law to the Smith boys. The lat ter have avoided arrest. They are sons of G. W. Smith, a justice of the peace and a very respectable citizen.
