THE MlNSTKELS.
Opening of the Season at Fulton Oper
House.

Opening of the Season at Fulton Opera
The opening of the amusement season
at Fulton opera house last evening was in
respect to the number and character of
the audience all that the most captious of
managers could desire, the hall being
crowded from pit to dome" by a bril-
liant audience, who manifested their en-
joyment of the performance by frequent
laughter. While the entertainment was
not by any means ono of even merit,
it embraced SO many good features that
criticism was tempered and tho thing
as a whole made a 90. Notably ex-
cellent was Mr.. Young's 'BOnnie Sweet
Bessie" which was given in strong, robust
tenor that is not frequently heard on the
minstrel stage, his voice possessing withal
a sweetness and purity that fell pleasingly
on the listeners ear. Some of the humOr-
GUS songs were old and might with profit
give way to newer and better ones. Fresh
jokes interlarded at frequent intervals
with some of ancient and fishlike flavor,
together with the "Irish Patrol" side
splitting performance, completed a first
part that had much to commend it, but
which a little judgment could materially
improve. The best things in the OliO
were the song and dance acts aud
the clogging, George Wilson's very funny
act. the Clipper Quartet in a number Of
amusing songs, aud the juggling and bal
ancing of NAOMI, a truly marvellous per-
Torrance. A lorg-drawn- out and dreary
act by Schoolcraft and Goes came near
exhausting the patience of the audience.
but the last act, an alleged burlesque of
"Patience," was distressing, and utterly
devoid of a single feature to redeem it
from positive dullness. Messrs. Barlow
and Wilson arc great favorites in this
community and tho less attractive features
of last evenings bill suffered by contrast
with the general excellence of tho per-
formance. The season is young yet and
the judicious managers will no doubt take
tho earliest opportunity to bring the en-
tire performance up to the high standard
that characterizes it in so many of its fea-
lures.

THE way of transgressor is indeed
hard. Congressman Harris, Of the
Fourth New Jersey district, will, from
present indications, have leisure to pom
der the truth of this adsge in enforced
retirement; for his constituents seem de
termined to keep him home on account
of his vote for the river and barbor
plunder. His district comprises Hun
terlOn, Somerset, Sussex and Warren
counties, and has ordinarily Demo-
cratic majority of about 1000. After a
desperate struggle in the convention last
week, Harris succeeded in obtaining a
denomination. But, his troubles were
not yet over, as the sequel will show.
The Hunterdon Democrat, one of the
most influential papers of the district,
openly refused to support him after the
convention, and the ranks of the boilers
have now been reinforced by the Clinton
Democrat and the Warren Democrat,
both staunch Democratic papers, the
latter hosting the candidates name at
the head of its columns in the following

the report that the Rev. DR.. Patrick A. Fee

dinal of Pope Leo XIII. at the next consis-
tory in Rome. 1t is not thought likely that
any new American cardinal will be created
for the present, and when one is appointed
the honor will probably be conferred upon
Baltimore or some other archiepiscopal see
which is older than Chicago.

The Value of Oats.
From the Iowa Homestead.

From the Iowa Homestead.
The better farm economy and the feed
ing value of crops are understood the
more oats will be appreciated and the
larger will he their consumption upon
the farm. The claim is frequently made
that they are not profitable as compared
with corn, and hence, though possessing
merit, they must always take a secondary
place. Let us compare the cost of pro-
ducing an acre of oats and their value
with corn. 1t is estimated that $4 per
acre will cover the cost of ploughing,
sowing, harvesting and stacking an acre
of oats, including seed. The straw, if
valued by the amount of pr,teine
and fat it contains, is worth by
the pound more than one-half good
meadow hay, or one-third that of corn.
Wnen corn is worth % cents per bushel,
oat straw is worth So per ton; or if the
product per acre of oat straw be one ton,
Its equivalent in corn is twelve bushels.
The feeding value of oats by the pound
is determined by the proteine about 20
per cent. above corn; this places the val
ne OF a bushel of oats atabout two-thirds
that OF a Dushel of corn. If crop OF
corn be thirty-six bushels per acre, it
will require the oat field to produce one
ton of straw and thirty-six bushels to
make an equivalent in feeding value. II
the product of corn be sixty bushels per

The Walking Horse.

The country would reap incaculable ben
eft if the walk of its ordinary horses could
be accelerated asingle mile per hour beyond
what is now gene al. 1t would put millions
of dollars extra into the national pockets
every year. We might have horses which
would walk five miles per hour, just as nat
urally and easily as three TO three and
half, and rarely four, as is now the rule.
All the farm, and much of the country road,
and town-Street horse work is all done at a
walk. 1t costs no more to feed smart walk
er, than it does slow, logy one, and fire.
quently not so much. Now let anyone cal
culate the profit and advantage of using the
former in preference to the latter. Let the
farmer see how much more land per day he
can get ploughed and narrowed; how many
more loads of hay, straw, grainsand vegeta-
bles he can take to market; and how much
more rapidly he is to accomplish all his
other work, and ,he will have little patience
in keeping slow walking horse any longer.
1t will be the same with the expressman, the
teamster, and the truckman.
Bellfounder, got by the celebrated import
ed trottng horse of this name, out of Lady
Airport, was not only q fast trotter, but had
a natural, easy walk of five miles per hour.
He was kept by orr family several years, and
nearly all his stock, out of quite common
mares, proved excellent walkers. This shows
how easily and rapidly an increased fast
walking stock may be bred by all farmers,
if they will only take due pains to select the
stations to which they may hereafter nick
their mares. A fast walking horse COM
mands a considerably higher price with
those who care for the pace, than slow
walker, and such buyers are constantly on
the increase now, and that day will come
by-and-by when slow walker will hardly
get bid. The fastest walk have yet seen
exactly timed and put on record, was that
of the English horse Sloven. He made,
without extra effort, $50 miles per hour.
All agricultural societies ought to give good
premiums to fast walking horses, the high
est prize to be awarded to the one which
walked five miles per hour; the second to
four and one-half miles; the third to four
miles. This last should be the least time for
which to award a prize, and all breeds should
be allowed to compete.

Shocking Termination ola Pleasure
PARTY

A shocking railway accident occurred last
Friday night at railroad crossing one mile
east of Anoka Mimi, resulting in the in
slant death of four young persons-Jasper N
Cole, William Hackett, Lillian S. Dawson,
and Flora Parker, all residents of Anoka.
The circumstances attending the sad ca
tastrophe as nearly as can be ascertained, are
as follows: The young people had attended
an entertainment in Anoka during the earlier
part of the evening, and at about 10 p. m.
with double team started for the Crooked
lake pleasure resort, three miles east of town.
Further than this no definite information
relative to their action can be obtained, no
other persons being near, but the SUPPOSE
ton is that nearing the railroad crossing the
driver discovered a rapidly approaching
train, being the through st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba express which arrives at
Anoka at 1880 p. m. and from sheere reck-
lessness undertook to cross the track within
a stones throw of the engine, which struck
between the horses and carriage. The horses
were both killed and thrown some twenty
or thirty feet ahead and east of the rails in
terribly mangled mass, while the carriage
was ground to mere splinters and together
with the four ifeless bodies of the young
people, lay along the west side ofthe track.
None of the bodies were mutilated by the
wheels, but were all badly bruised about the
head and many bones broken. 1t is believed
that all were instantly killed.

Driver Hank Helms Story OF a
Brush with a Road Agent.
n the MarysyilIe Appea]

From the Marysville Appeal.
II was driving the horses with George
M. Hacket, Wells, Fargo & Co.'S mes
senger. on the box beside me-" said
driver Hank Helm. 'There were no
passengers. We had S1S,OOJ in bullion
aboard. The stage was stopped at 7
o'clock, about five miles this side of La
Porte and a mile snd half beyond Dia-
mond Springs. The road at that point is
level and the horses were trotting along
quietly. Nobody would expect to find
ronber in such a place. Hacket was sit
ting sideways in the seat. talking with
me, when man ran out from the left
side of the road and tried to catch hold
of the leading horse. He was small
man, in size and habit resembling Frank
Manning Of Marysville. He wore a lin
en- buster, and his face was covered with
big white mask. As soon as saw him
whooped up the horses, with view to
get past him, but the lead horse was
frightened and swung off to the right
side of the road and against the side OF
the hill, Stopping the team. The man
carried double-barreled shotgun. He
didn't say a word and didn't
raise his gun, but carried it in one hand
EFT could get his gun ready he
fired. The gun was loaded with buck
shot. The robber then made motion
as if to shoot, but didn't seem able to get
his gun to his shoulder. He then run
around to the other side of the leader,
and j yelled to Hackett to sock it to
him. Hackett then fired the contents
of his second barrel over the heads of
the horses. The robber then took to
his heels. He ran down the hill straight
AWAY from the road. Hackett jumped
down and ran after him short distance
Hackett had buttoned glove on his left
hand and had his cartridges in his left
pocket, so that he could not reload his
lgun in time to get another shot at the
,robber. When he saw that pursuit was
hopeless he came back to the stage. We
picked up the robbers hat in the road
TWAS a soft hat, of black felt, very old
and weather-beaten and full of ragged
rents. 1t had four fresh buckshot holes
in it, with hair sticking to some of them.
The mans hair was light in color,
streaked with gray. AS he ran down
the hill he tore off his mask and no
tced that he had bald spot on the top
of his head. Hackett had no pistol with
him, If he had had pistol he could
have dropped the robber easily. He
can drop a rabbit at a hundred yards
with the big pistol he generally carries.
The robber was no doubt green at the
business. He never opened his mouth,
and instead of covering us with his gun
and singing out: Throw up your
hands, as an old hand would have done,
he just made target of himself. Meth
er Hackett nor the robber said word.
The whole thing happened in minute"

StaGSerS in Horses.

Staggers in horses result from various
causes, and the treatment consequently
differs, as the cause. AS rule, when
not hereditary, as it often is, the cause
may be sought for either in the condi-
ton of the nervous system, or the pres
ence of parasites or other irritating
things in the stomach Or intestines.
Brain diseases. too often show them
selves in that way; in fact, so various
are the causes that it would be unwise
to suggest any treatment further than
general one, which is to allay nervous
irritability as much as possible, and by
proper means keep the stomach and
bowels in good condition. 1t must be
remembered that the whole system is
more or less connected with the brain,
and when this becomes affected vertigo
or staggers often results. When it ap-
pears wet the head in cold water and
give injections to move the bowels. This
treatment is proper in all cases, and
may be supplemented with all other
circumstances and the cause of the trou-
BILE seem to demand.

Raise Fruit on the Farm.

How miserable a farmer must be these
hot days of summer if he has not plenty
offruit ont he place to draw from. True,
he may buy of his neighbors, but he will
find that the cost far exceeds the ex-
pense of raising them himself. 1t is
cheaper to raise fruit than pay doctors
bills, which are apt to follow where the
family are deprived of the cooling acids
that render fruit so acceptable to the
system at this season of the year. We
do not advise the raising of all kinds of
fruit. Very few will succeed who under
take it. Different kinds require different
soils and climate. 1t is best to cultivate
those that you are reasonably sure agree
with your soil. There is always an amount
of small fruit-currants, gooseberries,
raspberries, blackberries, and strawber-
Iries, that will thrive in any part of this
line of latitude.

The housewife who contributes this hint

what appears like new string

trouble to prepare them, and they help
to give variety when it is difficult to
know what to have for dinner.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

Rufus Hatch and party just returned
from their trip to the northwest, over the
Northern Pacific and Canada Pacific, were
on change at Chicago, Monday, and exhib-
ted specimens of oats, wheat and grass
which attracted much attention. All were
very nearly ready for the sickle, the wheat
and oats being plump and vigorous from
root to berry. The specimens came from
Dakota.
An engine on the Hampton branch of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western road COL
ided with coal train on the cross-over
track, n. J. A. conductor, known as dad

were instantly killed. Frank Frost engin-
eer ofthe coal train, had both legs broken.
Another boy named Christine, cousin of the
lad killed, was seriously injured

Some Points in Feeding Pigs.

Very little care is usually taken in
this connection, especially when the
time for fattening arrives. Much feed
is often wasted. 1t is quite an art to
feed pigs so that the best advantage may
be obtained in forming flesh. The own
er may imagine that if the pigs eat all
that is given them they are doing vel,
while it is often the case that they would
thrive faster on one half of the food. If
he would take the trouble to examine
the excrement (Which is an index OF the
work of the stomach) he would find I'M
digested food mixed all through it. In
this case there is not only a waste of
food, but the general health of the ami
NAL is likely to be effected. When the
feces are dry and hard, a feverish con-
dition exists, when they are watery and
emit rank smell they indicate disor-
dered stomach. These are generally
caused by overfeeding of too heating
food, and under such conditions neither
pigs nor any other animals can thrive.

acre, it will require one ton of straw and
seventy-two bushels of oats an acre to
make its feeding equivalent. These are,
however, simply theoretical values meas
ured by proteine; practically, the oats and
straw are worth more than the corn, be-
cause they will be better masticated. and
they furnish more bulk. Again, there
is difference in the cost of production
in favor OF the oats amounting to nearly
So per acre, if the oats be fed in the
sheaf; SO that upon an average if the
number of bushels of corn and oats in
two fields be the same, the greater profit
for feeding to cattle is in the oats. This
supposed the oats to be cut early and
fed in the sheaf; and it makes no allow
ances for the cornstalks, for which the
oat field makes full compensation by al
lowing the farmer to plough in a crop Of
rye for fall pasture.
