4 Year Without a Summer.

In the year of 1916 there was a sharp
frost in every month Of the year in the
northern states. II was known as the
year without summer. The farmers
used to refer TO 1T as eighteen hundred
and starve to death. In May ice form
ed half an inch thick in Hartford, buds
and flowers were frozen, and corn was
killed in the adjacent towns. Frost, ice
and SOW were common in June
throughout Connecticut, aud the snow
fell FIVE inches deep In New York, and
in Massachusetts, ten inches deep on
June 10. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. On the fifth ice formed
TO the thickness Of window-glass in Can
ton, Conn, and throughout New Eng
land and Pennsylvania corn was nearly
all destroyed in many sections. In
August ice formed half an inch thick
in Litchfeld. a cold northern wind
prevailed nearly all summer with
b. avy raIn-falls. Corn was SO frozen
that a greater part was cut down and
dried for fodder. Farmers we're obliged

Sergeant Nas0n's Case

J. 6. Blgelow, counsel for Sergeant
Mason, called at the white house this
morning and filed with the presidents
private secretary the brief giving the
reasons why the sentence of the court
martial in the case of Mason should
be declared null and void. The main
points of the argument are That the
court erred in trying the prisoner for
violation Of the sixty-second article of
war; the United States troops were
guarding the district Jail without law
ful authority; that the secretary of war
had 10 lawful authority to order the
troops there, and that on account Of
the position in which Mason stood
when he fired, and of Guiteau's posi-
tion in his cell, it was physical i'm
possibility that the latter should have
been in any danger from the shot. Ii
Is known the president does not intend
to take action i'll this case until Guiteau
Is out Of the way.

An Indian Territory dispatch says:
Broken Arrow and the surrounding
country has just been visited by the
most severe hail storm ever experienc-
ed in the Indian Nation. The storm
swept over a scope of territory five
miles in length and mile wide, leaving
desolation in its path. Many dwellings
were destroyed. The town of Broken
arrow was badly damaged. Hsilstones
as large as an egg fell, sui. ing trees
and destroy ing fruit and gro. ng crops.
An old woman, Ann Teiebe by name,
was caught IN the storm, and so fear
fully lacerated by hail that she Is not
likely to recover. Two brothers, aged
fourteen and seventc en-, named Russell,
living west of Broken Arrow, are re-
ported to have been overtaken by the
storm While hunting and were fatally
wounde !. The full extent of damage
can not be learned for some days, but

Don't BE Afraid.
Madison Democrat

The bill to appropriate one hunnred
million dollars for pensions slipped
through the house yesterday like a
weasel through a knot hole. The
trouble with the pension bill is il APP
propriates sum so vast that it invites
all manner of jobbery. No member
of congress possesses the moral couf-
age TO openly attack the measure. The
demagogue's howl Of patriotism fright
ems off all critics, and the bill is hastily
put through under less scrunity than
most bills are subjected TO. Tne con-
sequence is that train Of evils follow
in the wake Of tots hasty Legislation.
The pension buzzards reap a rich har-
vest, the soldier is often deprived Of
his just share, while more fortunate
ones secure far too much.
Some one with the courage to call
halt on this wild pension legislation is
needed TO check what muft soon be-
come vast prolific source Of evil. II
each succeeding congress is to 60 on in
creasipg the pension bill. there will not
be revenue enough TO pay presently.
Il is the proper and imperitive duty of
congress to provide Literally for the
crippled veterans: but it is a terrible
mistake to nonfound patriotism and
justice with demagoguism.

THE liberal ma ajorities in the Belgium
chamber and senate were increased by the
elections.
THE German parliament adopted res
olution declaring that any further meas
ure burdening and harassing the tobacco
trade was inadmissible.
As the lord lieutenant of Ireland was
riding in Dublin he was stopped by Anna
Parnell. He remarked that he was un-
able to hear her words, bat would talk
with her at the castle Miss Parnell
wrote TO the papers that The erection of
huts for evicted tenants in Limerick has
been stopped, and urges all concerned in
the work to 20 on with the buildings.

discussion, in which Bismarck spoke for

Mr.. GLADSTONE stated in the house Of
commons that the international confer
ence will deal with the condition of Egypt,

Alexandria. The Ottoman bank in that
city has been fortified and provisioned for
siege. The Egyptian sub-minister OF
Justice names Arab Pasha as the chief in

BeGouin Arabs are lowering around
the unguarded banks of the Suez canal at
Ismaila.
A Herald special from Alexandria says
of the new Egyptian cabinet: Raghib is

considered a smart politician, but has
suffered from paralytic stroke, and is
now no good. The khediye will probably

Fears are entertained that Alexandria

the United States to England have

geon, halibut and gullet, which, if
placed upon foreign markets would
meet an immense sale. The display
of these and similar articles in the ex

introduction into European markets.

fisheries states that the products Of

was about $45,0O0,O00. This was the
estimated price paid to the producer,
but the Wholesale rates would not be
