The Life-Saving Service.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The General
Superintendent of the Life-Saving Service,
in his annual report, says the total number
of disasters during the year was 439;
total value of property saved, $9,161, 354;
total value of property lost, 81, 446, 586;
total number of persons saved, 4,412;
total number of persons lost, 20;
total number of persons succored at
stations, $50; number of vessels totally lost
"a. Investigations held after each case of
loss of life show that the twenty persons
who persisted were severally beyond human
aid and that in no instance could loss of
life be attributed to any failure of duty on
the part of life-saving crews. The number
of disasters during the year exceed by %
the number for the year preceding. The
amount of property involved was So, 365, 220
greater than in the preceding year, but the
amount lost was $l24.434 less, while the
amount saved was $3,4S9,654 more. The
following general summary is given Of the
statistics of the service from the date of the
introduction of the present system in 1871
to the close of the fiscal year. The loss of
life as stated below includes 1873 lost at the
wrecks Of the Huron and Metropolis, which,
the report says, in strict justice are not
chargeable to the service:
Number of disasters, 2547; value of prop
erty saved, $32 SOS, $40; value of property lost,
$l4 230, 96S; number of persons saved, 22,T1;

There is an art in raising early pull
lets, so as to have them begin to lay soon.
The object should be to breed from par
entS that mature early. In selecting
cock and hens from which to breed
early pullets, select a cock that throws
out his hackle and tail feathers early,
as this indicates early maturity. Then
mate him with old hens, and hatch the
pullets as early in the year as possible.
Such pullets viii begin to lay in Octo-
Der and will then lay all through the
winter.
There are many ways to vary and

pie who like high seasoning. Parsley
alone rubbed very fine imparts delic-
ious flavor to plain omelet; tomatoes
added tothe omelet just before it hard
ems, those having been already cooked,
give an excellent relish to it; later in
the season oysters chopped fine, render
an omelet dish to be longed for, and
to be eaten with much relish.-The

An Ohio Doctor, Weary of His Struggle
for Existence, Poisons His Four Little
Ones and Attempts Suicide.
SPRINGFIELD, o., Nov. 27.-Dr. John
Maxwell, practicing physician of this city,
who. recently came here from Selma O.,
sent his wife uptown yesterday on pretext,
and in her absence tied cloths strongly sat-
urated with chloroform over the mouths of
his four children, ranging in age from four
to thirteen years-two boys and two girls.
He then drank a quantity of the drug
himself, and, applying the cloth to his nos
trils, laid himself down on the bed beside
them all to die. When the wife returned
at supper-time she was frenzied at the dis
covery of her entire family being laid out in
the above condition. Laura, twelve years
old, was already dead, and the remainder
were insensible. Mrs. Maxwell gave the
alarm, and assistance came. Maxwell was
dragged out into the open air and walked
vigorously up and down until he partially
recovered. Two letters were found written
by him, directed to his wife and father-in-
law, cOnfessing and accounting for the
crime. He was placed in jail ON the charge
of murder, although not yet out of danger.
Eight physicians worked with the remain
ing children, and the most energeting treat
ment with electricity failed to affect them.
The letters left by Maxwell, who supposed
he would be dead when they were
opened, say that he was tired of life and
wanted to take the children with him to
Heaven, where they would cease to
suffer. One letter was dated November 81,
showing Maxwell has had his sickening
deed in contemplation for some time. 1t is
said that he was tired Of poverty and penu-
ry, and couldsno bear to face the world and
see his children dragged down to life of
adversely. He preferrad to kill them with
his hand. A pint bottle half full of chloro-
form was found by the bedside. 1t is feared
that Mrs. Maxwell will go mad, and there
are serious fears that she may not survive
the shock. Maxwell is under Indictment in
the courts here for libel, and trouble con-
nected with this and his poverty brought on
alteration. The physicians report that the
dose administered by Maxwell was a COM
bination of aconite and chloroform, and
compounded with great cunning, so as to be
without an antidote He compelled the
children to swallow the mixture and not in
hale it. The remaining children are now
given up for dead.

Tried to Avenge His Daughters Death.

LINCOLN, ILL.,, Dec. 8. O. A. Carpenter
arrived here from Dakota yesterday morn
ing. This evening, as he was sitting in the
office of Uriah Hill, on Broadway street, w.
Il. H. Burns, the father of Fora Burns,
passed by and saw him there. He went by
the window, and, turning toward the door,
drew large revolver from his pocket
and fired at Carpenter. The bullet
struck the iron door-post and glanced off,
doing no harm. Burns did not wait to see
the effect of his shot, but walked quietly on
around the square and went home. On the
way he met man named Primm and said
to him: swell, have killed Carpenter"
Burns has not been arrested. 1t is thought

A Bill to ExpeI White Residents Vetoed by
the Chief-Feeling of Alarm.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 28.-An Indian
Territory special says: The recently enacted
Expulsion bill, which has passed both Houses
of the Cherokee Nation Council, it is learned,
has been vetoed by Principal Chief Busy
head, and the Senate failed to pass it over the
veto. The bill in substance excludes all
white people from the Cherokee Nation.
The large number of whites residing in the
Territory under the permit law are greatly
alarmed. The vast livestock, coal-mining
and other valuable interests are mostly
owned bynon-residents. Although this bill.
in its present form, will fail of its purpose.
they fear other legislation detrimental to
them will be effected, as modified bill is
being prepared which, it is believed, will re-
ceive the signature of the Chief. The ex-
pulsion of the whites the Cherokees gen.
orally favor, claiming that the intruders are
creating system of usurpation adverse to
the best interests of the Cherokees as a ma
ton and a people. The veto created much
excitement. Bushyhead is sustained by
many of the more liberal Cherokees.

CLEAN, HEALTHY FOWLS.
Directions for Making Poultry Profitable
Some Good Hints.

Some Good Hints.
On most farms chickens, as soon as
they are old enough to leave their chick
enhood coops, take to trees, sheds or
anywhere rather than to the poultry
houses. In most cases it is best that
they make such selectio n for their health
and comfort; but as soon as the leaves
fall or the driving cold storms of au-
tumn sweep through the open sheds it
is time to get them into their warm win
ter houses. The first step toward pre-
pairing to winter the stock is to see that
the poultry houses are all perfectly
clean.
Without such precautions hen mites
are sure to affiict the stock. Some peo-
pie call these pests lice, but they are of
the mite family; are nocturnal, like bed
bugs, leaving the birds and taking to
perches or woodwork of any kind in
daytime.
The next thing is to see that the fowls
have dustbath to keep their bodies
rree from lice, as these breed and keep
on the fowls. The only way to keep or
get rid of them is to keep a good bath
OF sand and ashes-wood ashes when
they can be procured land the birds are
only too glad to do their part to cleanse
themselves.
There are many kinds of lice on
fowls, some living entirely on the feath-
ers; Others on the bodies. Some keep
about the heads; others only appear
when dirt accumulates about the bodies.
When fowl gets sick these parasites
increase rapidly, principally because the
bird relaxes that activity which is nee
essary to keep itself clean. The dust
bath should be close to a low window,
so that the sun viii shine directly upon
it. A box, sunk till its edges are level
with the floor, viii tempt the fowls bet
tor than one on the floor, as some fowls
willnot use It in that position.--M T.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN PAYNE.


The Famous Oklahoma Boomer Sud-
denly Expires at the TabIe-His Ex-
pIoits.
WELLINGTON, Kan, Now 29.-Captain
David L. Payne, the famous leader of the
Oklahoma boomers, died suddenly yesterday
morning while at breakfast at the Hotel de
Barnard. He addressed a meeting last
night and was seemingly in his usual robust
health when he entered the breakfast
room yesterday. While partaking of his
breakfast he was observed to lean forward
as if from slight suffocation and then drop
to the floor. He expired Immediately. His
sudden taking off created sensation. Pro-
found sorrow is expressed for his co-work-
ers and followers in attempting to settle in
the Indian Territory.
ICaptain David Payne got his name of Okla
homa Payne from being the leader of a party
of colonists who took forcible possession of
some land said to be part of the Indian Ter
rltory, bordering on Kansas. There has al
ways been some diversity of opinion as to
whether the Oklahoma lands were Indian Ter
ritory. Mr.. Rush, of Illinois, law partner of
Colonel Bob ingersoll, made careful exami-
nation of the title and concluded that
the land had reverted to the
United States and was open to settle
ment. Payne and his followers have
been expelled many times, the leader being
indicted and held to bail. He has demanded
speedy trial, but for some reason the Govern
ment has delayed investigation by the courts.
On August the President issued orders that
military force should be employed If necessary
to eject the colonists. 1t is surrnised that the
opposition to Payne arose from the influence
of large cattle-raising syndicates, who occupy
the land under some sort of lease from the
Indians, paying so much head for grazing.
Also that Congress has granted rights
of way to various railroads, and it is
thought these interests are opposed to set
Element of the lands under the Presumption
laws. Since Payne was expelled from the
Oklahoma lands he has been Kept under guard
in the Cherokee country, and has not been al
lowed to visit Fort Smith, where habeas cor
pus proceedings could be Instituted for his re-
lease; On September l, j a. Smith, his coun-
sci, fileo a document at the Department of
Justice, in Washington, D. c., asking that
Payne be tried in Wichita, Kan, where it was
contender United States Court had been es-
tablished, having jurisdiction over the dis
puted territory.
