Chandler and Spencer.

Quite a funny scene occurred at the
navy department the other day be
tween ex-senator Spencer and Secre-
tary Chandler, says a Washington
special. Spencer came into the depart
ment before he was released from the
contempt case and took a seat at
Chambers right hand. The secretary
receiy I'd him very coldly and, taking
it for granted that he had come to him
to get help, said Spencer, you
shouldn't come here to see me now.
II is very indelicate OF you. ! can't do
ANYTHING for you, and you ought 10
know it, You should have acted more
prudently. You have gotten your
affairs all into a mess, and your com
ing here to get my help is sure TO pro
woke a scandal You know how the
acts Of public men are scrutinized and
made the sHbiect of criticism"
Spencer listened to this sort Of talk
for about five minutes, and then
spoke
'My God, Chandler" he cried, 81
didn't come here to ask any thing OF
YOU l don't see why you should talk
to me in this way Are you talking
for the benefit of the rest of the peo-
pie in the roomf'
Chandler made some further re
marks about the ex-senator's lack OF
delicacy in calling upon a cabinet
officer when he was involved in a
scandalous trial, whereupon Spencer
sprang to his feet and began to pound
the desk.
''See here, Bill Chandler" he thun
dered. Il used TO run ten times the
chance Of making a scandal when you
we're dancing around the doors of my
senatorial committee room, the lobby
ist agent Of John Roach and Charles
F. Secor, and in those days you were
not much impressed with the fear Of
making scandal. You had better
take the advice Of a friend and
resign"
At this Spencer walked out Of tbs
room.

nalrn Notes.

1t requires 100 pounds of SKINNED
milk, says an Ohio dairyman to pro-
duce three pounds of pork
The Star Creamery, at Lake Mills,
is still in full blast and receiving from
1, 500 TO 1000 pounds of milk per day,
which goes into full cream cheese
Rapid milking is the proper meth
cd. Slow milking does not secure the
full quantity, as the COW becomes tired
and impatient unless the process is
quickly done.
The best evidence of the profitable
ness Of dairying is that those districts
going into 1t are never known TO give
it up. There is significance in this
worth bordering over.
Joseph Ullsberger has about two
tons of cheese in store at his factory
at Forestville, Door county. He man
ufactured large amount of cheese
during the season, and is holding this
balance subject to better market rates,

The few Swiss cattle that were on
exhibition at the Illinois State Fair
attracted marked attention. That they
are excellent mixers has been shown

According to the Plymouth Re
porter the dairy business in Sheboy-
gan County is IN a fourishing con
dition. That paper refers to the fact
that the German Bank, of Sheboygan,
and its branch at Sheboygan Falls,
paid out for cheese during the past
year the large sum Of 81, 402, 7S0 This,
with the money paid by other banks
in the county during the same period
for cheese, it estimates, will make the
aggregate Of the income of the Sheboy-
gan County dairymen for the year not
less than 81, 900, 600.

moved by President Grant. There
was much Indignation expressed, and
Gov. Hunt was greatly astouished
His successor was Edward w. McCook.
Gov. Hunt was not a man to worry
himself over being removed from a

been the victim of an outrage.

Grant visited the west He was com

courtesy fitted up a special train to

Denver's most prominent citizens were

they gave him a royal reception.
Hunts friends asked Grant why he
removed him. the president said :;

Just at that time things were very
much mixed up at Washington, and

In the hotel next day, taking him
by the hand, the president said Il

My removal from Office was an
outrage, replied Gov. Hunt.

to die. He got revolver, and, stand

gan operations on his person. The
first ball he fired into his breast, di-
rectly over the heart. This made no
impression on him. Then he put the
pistol under his lower jaw and sent q
ball crashing through that, Fand also
through the roof OF his mouth some
where up in region of the brain. Not
satisfied with this lie fred another
ball up through the roof of his mouth
into the place where the brain ought
TO be. Still he clamored for more,
and the next ball passed up against

into the ceiling Then he got mad

out for an axe, bat by that time he be-

A Wicked Gospel Ship,
san Francisco Special.


a little steamer called the Evange-
list is plying in the waters Of Puget
Sound. The story goes that it was
built by subscription of Eastern pious
people. upon representations Of the
Rev. James X. Ludlow, clerk of the
Washington Territorial district court,
that gospel vessel could carry the
glad tidings to the inhabitants Of
the inland waters Of the great North
west.
In order to raise funds to equip her,
Ludlow it is said, issued pamphlet,
emanating apparently from the North
Star mission of Alaska, Washington
Territory and British Columbia, ask
ing aid Of the Eastern brethren
toward the good work of boarding
every vessel, hailing every canoe and
visiting every camp, and reaching
every Chinaman. The pamphlets
were distributed very literally in the
East, even in Europe, for in Paris, a
few jealous ladies subscribed nearly
$50G. OTHER quarters responded iiber-
ally, and the boat is now in service,
but as a matter Of fact only as a tug
boat and passenger vessel to those
who cant afford to pay. The purser
of the boat is said to be q son Of Henry
Ward Beecher.
