From the Detroit Unionist
Said an acquaintance us the Other

Is it enough? Is it right to leave the

"old stagers" who have to do all the dis
agreeable work? All know it is wrong,
All know the member who does no more
than simply keep himself straight on the
financial secretarys books has performed
only half his duty--and not the most
essential half at that.
When money is paid it is necessary
that it should be properly disbursed, not
wastefully, neither boarded stingily-
for boarding is worse than disbursing-

poses for which it was intended. This

No Convict Labor.

From the MOlders' Journal.
The proposed plan to start foundry
in the Cincinnati work house, and let
the prisoners out by contract has been
stopped But we find that there are con-
tracts still being made in in the Column
bus penitentiary for prisoners to work
at shoemaking and other trades. We
hope our representatives in the legisla-
ture will not forget their pledges made
before the election and at the polls to do
all In their power to have the prison con
tract system abolished.
They should push the bills that were
placed in their charge, to abolish the
prison contract system, and also to have
all prison-made goods offered for sale in
the state of Ohio have the prison stamp
on them. If they think that these bills
were drawn up and placed in their
charge to be postponed or strangled, the
sooner they abandon that idea the bet
ter Free labor is determined to have
the prison contract system abolished,
and they expect these representatives to
carry out the pledges they made before
their election.

A Wonderful Salt Spring.
Chicago Tribune.

Senator Logan was at home" to
newspaper men yesterday in his room
at the Grand Pacific, ready to tell
them anything they might care to
know about his Western trip, but 81
lent as the grave on the subject of pol
tiles. He left Chicago in May, and,
in answer to general question from
a Tribune representative, said he had
travelled through New Mexico, and
Arizona, and part of Colorado, con-
Guiding his trip with a visit to Den
yer, where he took part in the pro-
ceedings of the Grand Army encamp-
ment. From Santa Fe he had gone
pretty much all over New Mexico,
sightseeing and pleasure-seeking.
You saw that wonderful salt spring
in southwestern New Mexico, about
which there has been good deal said
of late, did You not!'
Eyes, and a wonderful spring it is
Our party of four travelled 200 miles
by rail and 100 in an ambulance to
see it. 1t is very curious formation.
The spring is in the center of an eX-
tinct crater, which has been surveyed
and found to contain $40 acres. Right
in the centre is an upheaval which
looks as though it was a perfect cone
at Il distance-a cone of reddish color,
made up of cinders, ashes, stones, etc,
forming a conglomerate mass. At a
distance there is no appearance of a
hole i'll the top, but on going up the
cone a height Of $50 feet, you discover
an immense opening inside, and find
that it is spring about forty feet in
diameter, constantly boiling. The

''All soundings have failed to find
any bottom to the spring Through a
crevasse in the side of the cone, the

perfect salt. The water is constantly
pouring in, and the evaporation pro

Raising Plums.
From the Country Gentleman,

At recent meeting of fruit-growers
IN Ohio, member remarked that it
was usually easier to raise ten bushels
of strawberries than one of plums,
although some had tried to drive away
the eurculio with tar water, and to
repel them in other ways. We have
not been able to make comparison
of the relative facility of raising
plums and strawberries, as we have
had a superabundance of both this
season. Every day for a month our
tables were copiously supplied with
Cumberland, Charles Downing and
Sharpless Strawberries, and later in
the season the plumb trees were bend
ing under the heavy loads of Imperial
Gage, Lawrence, Mclaughlin, Jeffer-
son and Bradshaw plums Without
the simple and efficient mode which
we have long since adopted for ex-
terminating the curculio, we should
probably not have had peck of this
fruit. An interesting fact in connec-
ton with plum culture is worth men
tioning. This year the trees have been
usually subject to the early dropping
of the leaves, some of the later sorts
not having foliage to finish the growth
and maturity of the fruit A part OF
the orchard was top dressed last win
ter with stable manure, which was
subsequently worked into the soil. On
this portion of the orchard the trees
have retained their leaves. On the un-
MANFRED part, most of them have lost
their foliage. The virtue of stable
manure in the formation of fruit is
yearly becoming better known.

4 Monkey story.

Some time ago an English lady,
who was living at Kingston, Jamaica,
took passage on a homeward bound
vessel, taking her 2-months-old infant
with her. \ large, strong, active
monkey which was on board took a
violent fancy for the child. The
monkey would sit all day long watch
ing the mother as she rocked and
fondled the little one, and followed
her from place to place Several
times the animal tried unsuccessfully
to get possession of the baby, One
beautiful afternoon distant sail at
tracted the attention of all on board,
and the captain politely offered his
glass to the lady. She placed her
baby on the sofa and had just raised
the glass 10 her eve when a cry was
heard. Turning quickly she beheld
a sailor in pursuit of the monkey,
which grasped the infant firmly with
one arm and was nimbly climbing
the shrouds. The mother tainted as
the animal reached the top of the

wits end. He feared If he sent a sail

the baby and escape BIZ leaping from
mast to mast The child In the mean
time was heard to cry, but the fear
that the monkey was hurting it was
dispelled by seeing it initiate the mo-
tons of the mother, handling, sooth-

4 Story Of the War Of the Roses

The Welch have another story to
tell, perhaps not without secret pride,
a story which was long ago a source
of bad blood betweed townfolks and
hill-mcn. The Mayor of Chester, the
story goes, went to the Fair at Mold
with his friends, and quarrelled with
one Reinallt, the fierce lord of a
ncighboring tower-it was during the
Wars of the Roses, when law and
justice were in obeyance Reinallt
thereupon seized the Mayor of Chester,
aud dragging him to his hold, hung
him to a staple in the wall-the staple
being still in evidence. The enraged
Chesterians, 206 strong, sailed out to
avenge their Mayor But the cunning
Reinallt was not at home to receive
them, and the men of Chester took
possession of his tower without re-
sistance. Once inside, however they
found themselves in a trap. the en-
trance made fast upon them and
flames bursting out in all directions
from combustibles cunningly stored
away by the chief, while outside the
wild chief and his men formed ring
of steel and thrust back upon the
flames any who tried to escape No
man, It IS said, returned to Chester to
tell the tale, and wives and sweet
hearts watched and waited long in
vain for those who would never come
back to the town.

The Female Telegraph Strike.

Most of the female telegraph strikers
in the East are still out of work. Then
case is hard one, as many of them
have not only had to support them
selves, but others as we'll They get
plenty of sympathy, but that's a
mighty poor thing to dine on. When
the strike was abandoned and they
offered to return to their places, they
were told the places had been filled
and they were not wanted. The filling
was done chiefly out of the telegraph
class in Cooper institute. The girls
learning telegraph there were only
too glad of chance to get employ
ment, and those who could handle an
Instrument with any skill were taken
in by the Western Union people. The
girls who joined the strike received
very little assistance while it was in
progress, bat they held out like little
soldiers, every one. 1t is hard luck
that they should fare worse than the
men after making SO brave fight.
They think the Western Union cam
pany holds special spite against them
for being so firm, and that this is why
they are not taken back, but the real
reason is that the places OF most of
them were really filled.

Gariield's Monument.
rom the Cleveland Leader

The surveyors on Saturday finished
laying out the grounds for the Gar
field monument. The plot consists of
about two and one-half acres ON the
highest point of the cemetery grounds,
on the south side. From this point a
beautiful panorama lies spread before
the vision. To the north magnificent
grounds, dotted with groves and pene-
trated with splendid drives, that wind
in and out like silver threads among
the trees, while scattered here and
there, surrounded with well-kept
lawns, are quiet farm houses, while
the deep, blue waters of Lake Erie
form background of exceeding beau
". To the left rare view of East
Cleveland is obtained, while the tall
SmokeStacks of various manufactseies
send their curling clouds to the skies,
bespeaking of the hum and the stir of
business life In the distant city. On
the right is spread quiet view of the
beautiful cemetery, the ravine, tall
monuments, and the handsome
grounds. Across the drive ON the OPP
posite hill is the tall, plain spire,
marking the resting place of Amasa
Stone, that can be plainly seen from
the windows of Adelbert College,
which he founded. The Garfield plot
is in the unimproved portion Of the
cemetery; but the natural beauty of
the place is great, and when properly

NeMsboys at supper.
Chicago Inter ocean.

About seventy-five newsboFS were
banqueted last night at No. 81 Wash
ington street, at the expense of Mr..
C. L. Woodman, the restaurateur.
The boys sat down to a supper of oys-
tiers, sandwiches, and coffee. and ii
would be doing an injustice to those
retail dealers In newspapers, to say
that they were puny or fastidious in
dlsposing of their rations. Mr.. Wood
man also furnished sixty buttonhole
bouquets, and with these the boys
bloomed out rosy.
Mr.. B. T. Jacobs asked the boys to
express themselves on the question OF
what should be done for them the
coming winter One of the large
boys said that smaller proportion OF
newsboys in Chicago had homes than
in New York. a large number OF
Chicago newsboys have homes of their
own, others live with their parents,
and twenty-eight boys are sheltered at
the Newsboys Home. A fee of 25
cents is charged them for supper, bed,
and breakfast. Large boys are not
taken and none are admitted after 8
o'clock at night After the boys had
devoured their supper, speeches were
made by Mr.. B. F. Jacobs, founder Of
the Rink Sunday School; Mr.. Scott,
of the Herald, who also set up the
cigars to the boys" and DR., Hunter.
The Garfield University singers
marched in, cutting DIR. Hunters
speech short by the tremendous APP
plause of the boys at sight of them.
The singers sung three of their plan
tation melodies" and Thomas Hol
ton, one of the leading newsboys OF
the city, returned the thanks of the
newsboys and bootblacks to Mr.
Woodman for his generosity, and to
the troupe of singers for their part OF
the entertainment
The last meeting in the Rink will
be held next Sunday, but Mr. Jacobs
says he will see that the boys will be
provided for.
