About Pie.

The dependence of the American citi-
zen upon his pie is quite touching. The
amount consumed, il properly arranged
with reference TO statistical dyspepsia.
would probably exceed the horror
inspiring figures which reformers love
TO cite in regard to the effect of tobacco
and liquors. From $1,000 10 so.
pies are daily sold in the City of New
York alone. Multiplied by fifty. the
ratio of the population of New York
City To that OF the United States, it
would appear that over million and a
half OF pies are eaten every day by the
people OF the United States. This does
not include the pies made by private
families and large hotels in New York;
SO that it is safe to say that at least n
third Of a pie ora pie every three DAYS
is eaten by every family in the land.
One curious feature is that during times
of public excitement people do not eat

days OF great suspense. the business of
pie-eating and pie-buying fell oil very
seriously. The same is true OF election
times. Pumpkin pie is going out OF
fashion. being superseded by apple and

pure benzine. The art Gle is sold at

and has very unpleasant odor, which
the pure article has not, and the little
which it has soon disappears. If this
cannot be obtained, strong alcohol
(ninety-five per cent. will clean collars
very well. A mixture OF strong alcohol
and water o. ammonia is also used.
The trouble with all these liquids is
that not enough is used; small guam
titv only softens and spreads the grease
spot; they should be applied in suiii-
cient quantity and repeated to not only
dissolve the foreign matter but to wash
it out

long and varied experience in the city

most enterprising and prosperous citizens,

Of our people, has added largely to the
taxable property Of the city. and given
literally of his means for charitable. ben
evolent and public purposes. For these
things Mr. Vickery deserves generous
support to day, and will have it we have
no doubt
The names of the candidates for Alder
men ia the several wards, on the same
ticket with Mr.. Vickery are those belong
ing to gentlemen every way worthy of
support. They are the right Kind OF
men for the office for which they are
nominated. Let il be remembered that
the combinations of regulars, irregulars
and nondescripts are made for the purpose
of getting control OF the board of alder
men, and that there is therefore special
need 10 see that the aldermen on the
straight republican ticket are strongly
supported.
We hope that none Of our republican
friends will be delu,lcd by the name oil

other dodge of the opposition to catch I'M
wary voters. At every election such games
are attempted, but they only serve il sue

may accrue from such movements
Let every republican attend the polls
today and do what he can to elect the
whole republican ticket.

Platt's Successor.
Denver News 18th.

reports from Albany announce the
election of Hon. Warner Miller as Unit
ed States senator (for the long term
from the state of New York, in place of
Platt, resigned In the session OF Fri
day, General Miller lacked but five
votes, and those were probably gained
from the stalwarts by yesterday noon,
with few votes to spare. General
Miller is Of stalwart proclivitics, but not
so pronounced in his views as to injure
the halfbreed class, who named him in
their caucus week since to prepare the
way for the present result, and to pre-
vent IN appeal to the people. AS Gen
eral Miller's election did not in the least
conflict with Conklings position, it was
less opposed from the start than that Of
his colleague, Hon. Elbridye q. Lapham
who vet stands outside.
The successful successor Of Platt, a
stalwart among the stalwarts, was born
in Oswego county. New York, August II,
1888. He graduated at Union college in
1859 and commenced teaching school in
the Fort Edward college. On the break
ing out of the war he enlisted in the
Fifth New York cavalry as private
an excellent command-and served in
the rapid raids Of the Shenandoah val
ley, was promoted to sergeant major and
lieutenant and was taken prisoner in
the action at Winchester, before the ar
rival Of Sheridan and his horse, while
our troops were fleeing in broken dis
may from the successful but hungry
lcgions Of Early.
At home General Miller-his title
was conferred by the state has for
some time been engaged in farming and
in the manufacture of paper, being use
full as well as popular among the voters
of his district.
He was delegate to the national con-
vention which nominated Grant III 1872,
was elected to the New York legislature
in 1874, and again in i7"o. Al io.S i.e
was chosen member of the 46th cong
ress from the 22d district of New York,
made up of the counties of Herkimer,
Jefferson and Lewis. His majority over
the democratic nominee, Hon. l.. l..
Brown, was 3,2l7. In 1880 he was
chosen again by plurality stated at
1856 votes.
General Miller's successor in the 47th
congress can hardly he chosen in time
to take any part in the organization OF
the house, and this is one of the facts
that prevented the stalwarts from Civ.
ing him their votes when he was first
brought out.
This long lane in politics has twisted

A Gamblers Sound Advice.

Price McGrath, the well-known turf
man, who died the other day at Long
Branch, was famous expert at cards
in the days when gambling was common
on the Mississippi steamboats,. The
L.,;i;etiile Cnurier~I Journal says that he
gained his first start toward wealth by
winning $4,000 from an intoxicated
planter. With that capital he fitted up
in New Orleans the handsomest gam
bling house in the country. During the
war he made fortune out Of winnings
from soldiers in ST. Louis and New
York. The Cincinnati Inquirer tells
the following story: "While at Long
Branch not many years ago a party of
young acqaintances went from Lexing-
ton to take in the races at that famous
resort. He met them and invited them
to his gambling house, saying they
could take their meals there when they
wished. snd could get anything they

Division OF the Territory.

The Tower City Herald, being OF the
opinion that therritory of Dakota should
be divided suggests that district
:.clcgu,c convention be called to CON
slider the matter. The Herald says Not
over one hundred delegates are neces-
oary or desirable for such convention

convention be called at Fargo or some
other accessible point during the month

northern and southern sections Of the

winter Mr.. Petigrcw will make strong
effort for the admission Of southern

generally conceded that the division,
when made, will be at or near the 46th

The Usual Result.

1t is not to be denied that a good
sewing machine is one Of the most i'm
portant appurtenances of the mo dern
hou.ehold.
We thought We had good machine
in our household until one day the
agent Of the New Home presented him
self at our door and proceeded to de-
liver an oration upon its characteristic
merits.
But" we answered, "our machine
serves us nicely and suits us we'll, and
We do not care for another"
The agent, however, was persistent,
and finally begged the privilege Of leav-
ing one Of his machines with us, "for
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable, SO
we granted it but more to oblige the
agent than anything else for we really
did not want the machine, and had not
the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was
natura! that the ladies should look it
over. They did so, and as consequence
fell in love with it. They say that with
out the slightest wish to decry or dis
parage any other machine, this, all
things considered, is in their opinion,
the most desirable one to be had.
The upshot of the whole matter was
that the old machine was disposed of,
and the Light Running New Home"
installed in our households very fair
and satisfactory arrangement being
made with the agent.
1t is pronounced a genuine beauty
and real comfort, and "our folks"
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This unrivalled machine is manufac-
tured by Johnson, Clark & Co., 30
Union Square, New York, who wish us
to say that all who will send for their
new illustrated catalogue and enclose
their advertisement (printed on another
page, will receive set of fancy adver-
sing novelties, Of value to those collect
