The telegraph Friday brought the
Intelligence that Col. John w. Fornev.
VINO at one time filled aS large a space
IN the public eve as almost any man
in the country, was dead. For twenty
Ave wears Fornev was an active parti-
cspant III the politics OF the country,
and hi> name had been prominent i'm
many of the most marked erents In
The national history during that time.
He was born in Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania, Oh the 30th Of September,
1917. He became printer, and, in
ts4e, became the editor and publisher
tI' the Lancaster Intclligencer.
In 1915 he went TO Philadel-
phia, and there edited the
Pennsylvania until 1851. He vas
then elected clerk of the house Of rep
resentatiyes, and divided his labors
between that Office and The conduct of
the Washington Union. Two years
afterwards he returned to Philadel-
phia and founded the Press of that
city. He was chosen clerk of the
house again in 1859 and served
through the most bitter parliamentary
chapter in our American history.
He established the Washington Chron-
icle, continuing at the same time his
his labors on the Philadelphia Press.
La 1861, he became secretary Of the
United States senate, and served in
that capacity for seven years. Hav-
ing sold his Philadelphia paper, he
spent several years in Europe, during
which time he did much fer the pro-
motion and success of the centennial
exposition. : His 6rstliterary venture
on his return was the establishment
Of the Progress, in Philadelphiay of
which journal he was editor and pro-
prietor up to the time of his death.
He had for more than twenty years
been an active republican, though, in
the campaign of 1880 he handed in
his adhesion to General Hancock,
along with his beloved friend,
Daniel Daughtery, and canvassed
Pennsylvania in the interest Of the
democratic nominee.

the miners have gone below the

Mr.. Rhodes has been enabled, by the
Queens permission, to compare 1t at

Making Bogus Honey.

was told the other day, says news paper correspondent, that there is { firm in Boston doing big business in making honey and the honey comb. I have no reason to doubt the story. The comb is nodded out of parafine wax, in good imitation of the. work of bees ]; then the cells are filled with simple glucose, which, you know, is the sweet principle of corn. The cells are sealed up by passing hot iron over them, and the compound is sent to the old country as the best clover honey, and it never was heard of by bee. I told this to gentleman largely interested in the honey trade. He laughed at it, said that as the cell of the bee was not Hath of an inch thick it could not be initiated in paraffne, and, furthermore, that bees would not work on an artificial foundation. The experiment had been tried often. I answered him that the imitators did not care whether the cells were 1-125th of an inch thick or 125 inches thick, for their customers were not likely to stop and measure them 1; and,l secondly, that bees were not asked to work on the parafdne foundation. They were saved all that trouble by g man with ladle of glucose, who filled the cells.
