The State Farmers Alliance has issued
an address to the farmers of New Nork in
opposition to the election of Grover Cleve-
land for President The address says that
two of the members of the committee
which issues it are Democrats, that no
member of the committee voted for the
Republican candidate for Governor in OPP
position to Cleveland two years ago and
none of them will vote for Cleveland for
President. They allege that he has been
unfaithful to the pledges by which, for the
first time since the days of Silas Wright
the rural counties of New York were in
duced to give Democratic candidate a
majority.
They therefore denounce his candidacy
as unworthy the support of farmers. Two
of the railroad commissioners appointed
by him were men identified with railroad
corporations, He appointed II member of
the board of public works whose policy has
been directed to neutralize the advantage
to the farming interests of New York and
the West, intended to be accomplished by
making the Erie Canal Il free public high
way In making board of tax commits
siOners, he left the great agricultural in
terest unrepresented, disregarding their
formal request for the appointment of Il
farmer having special qualifications forthe
duties of the place, and finally they assert
that he has identified himself and his
| candidacy with corporate mOnOpolies, both
in his action as Governor and i'll the means
| by which his nomination for the Presi-
dency was accomplished.
This, they say, is not Il party question
| and they do not appeal as partisans of any
candidate. The issue made by his nomin-
| ton subordinateS all others. 1t is whether
| the sovereignty of the people shall he
| ovcrshadowed by the corporations which
| they create" They say they have mo re-
| concentrations to make with regard to
candidates other than that every honor
| cble means he used to make GOV. CleVc-
| lands defeat certain and overwhelming. -
This address has much significance and
will unquestionably have great influence
in shaping the determination of the farm

TAKEN BY STORM.
A Day of Recreation at Compounce
 

<A AOs-y OA AS~CAO@SAOAA ~AS SOAAARO
 Lake,
 It was one of those phenomenal autumn days, not longer ago than Saturday last, when the sun pours down flood of warmth as if making an effort to beat it's last July record. Lake Compounce, fairy-Ike lake but few miles distant from PlainviIle, was quietly sleeping among the hills content with it's own beauty and reflection of the hills and trees just tinged with the rich autumnal hues. Nothing save the occasional dropping of chestnut disturbed the serene quiet of this peaceful place as the sun cast it's early beams upon it. But storm, in the shape of party of about forty New Haven gentlemen, freed from f. nance, trade and affairs of state, was rapid ly approaching and ere the monarch of the skies had crowned the zenith with it's glory the neighboring hills commenced to feel its effects. With cyclonic rush, or perhaps more like that of herd of buffaloes, it de- scended upon this delightful spot and cap- tured it in all it's 1oveliness. The chestnuts rattled in showers, the hills returned the laugh of freedom, and the waters were lash oarsmen whose Spartan blood was aroused by the occasion. In the meantime three unfortunate sheep, which had ceased to bleat, however, lay stretched upon frames of saplings laid across an evenly cut ditch some twelve feet in length by about three in depth. In the bot tom of this ditch were three piles of burning charcoal so laid that the fumes, smoke and direct heat would rise between instead of di- rectly under the baking sheep. For the GUS tomary four hours, with care and watching, the bake was allowed to proceed, after which, perienced they were placed before the null titude. It is unnecessary to say that gas tronomic qualities were put to the test and were found equal to the occasion and that no baskets full were afterwards gathered. The day was happily spent throughout. All nature smiled, everybody smiled and the moon smiled as the storm cleared off and the party quietly a stole away.

Raro Ec11Dse of 1be 1Toon.

The moon was totally eclipsed Saturday, and the phenomena was visible throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and the Atlantic ocean. It was partially visible in the Atlantic States of this country. The orb rose totally eclipsed, but before it became visible by the approach of darkness it had passed very nearly out of the shadow. The total eclipse ended at 5:41 p. m., Washing ton time, and the moon left the shad- ow at 6:41 p. m. Total ecEpses of the moon are rare. Only one was seen in Paris during the last century-in 1724-and the next to beobserved there was that of Saturday. From the year 1140 to 1715, period of 575 years, only one total eclipse of the moon was seen inEngland. Those who caught glimpse of the orb Saturday night as daylight faded away saw it partially in shadow, but the obstruc- ton ended in very short time after the moon became visible

NORMAN HOOD.
His Funeral Yesterday Beautiful Tribute From the Washington


 His Funeral Yesterday = Beautiful Tribute From the Washington Brotherhood.
 The funeral of Norman Rood took place yesterday afternoon at o'clock from his late residence and was attended by large num- Der of the many friends of the deceased. The Rev. MT. Jacocks of the Episcopal church ofhciated There was a splendid large floral tribute from the Washington Union brother hood, of which the deceased was long mem Der. Many old and we'll known citizens were present to pay the last sad tribute to an old friend. The burial was in the Grove street cemetery. The bearers were members of the Washington Union brotherhood. The deceased leaves a long record of acts of generosity and benevolence in cases of sickness or other affiiction. He was often known to drive off to some sick friend or acqualntance's house, leave at the back door a generous donation of substantials and deli cacies and hurry off as his errand was made known without waiting for any acknowledg- ment. Deceased was a cremationist and years ago expressed an intention of leaving a sufficient sum of money to provide for the cremation of his remains, as he thought there were ample and wise reasons for such a disposition of the human frame He was years ago possessed of considerable property mostly in real estate in this city which was mainly swept away by the depreciation of property after the imitation in 1871 or there abouts.

FROM NEW ORLEANS.

Tribute to the Late Luigi Roberti.
 We find the following concerning our late esteemed citizen, Prof. Luigi Roberti, in the New Orleans Times Democrat of recent date.
 Prof. Luigi Roberti, who has recently died in the city of New Haven, Conn, was born in Italy in 1908. Being university student in the time the arrest and incarceration in an Austrian dungeon of Foresti and Silvio Pe1lico struck terror into the hearts of young Italy, he espoused their cause with ardent enthusiasm. More fortunate than those martyrs of liberty, when he himself was afterward denounced to the government as Carbonaro, he was able to elude arrest by assuming the disguise of priest. After some hairbreadth escapes he reached Paris in safety, where for some time he followed the profession of avocat. He shortly after emigrated to America and supported himself by teaching languages, in which capacity he was appointed to position in Yale college.
 Having married lady of New Haven, he opened young ladies' seminary, which ulti- matsly became the leading school of that city. Some fifteen years ago he retired, hay ing secured a competence. In his chosen profession he disdained all adventitious aids, but relied mainly upon full and accurate oral instruction. His personal magnetism made this eminently successful No pupil ever came under his care without leving him, and the announcement of his death will stir tender recollections in very many hearts

Green Turtle Soup.

On Saturday last well dressed gentleman ! dropped into the City Hall dining rooms and inquired for the proprietor. MT. Downs was pointed out to him and approaching the genial caterer the stranger passed out his card and said:
 "Mr. Downs, I am stranger in the city, am hard up and hungry; will you be so kind 1 as to give me Iunchs' Certainly" said the genial proprietor ''Sit down to one of those tables" The stranger dropped into chair in a hurry.
 'tNow, what will you have to eata" said Downs.
 Stranger-"Well, to start on give me some green turtle soup"
 ''What! green turtle soup? I haven't got any. What in thunder do you take me for, Delmonico?''
 ''No, but what have you got that's nice!''
 ''Got nothing; and you get out as 'quick as you can. always willing to give hungry man a meal of victuals but when he commences on green turtle soup think that the next thing he will call for is 'Mumm's dry,' and I can't stand any such free lunch as that. You go over to the police station and they will give you some hard tack and cold water
 The stranger departed without farther ar gument with the proprietor.
 This is probably the same gentleman @ who accosted poor reporter State street at the early hour of 2:30 o'clock on Saturday morning and represented himself as a law yer from Worcester, Mass. He said he was "hard up'' and wanted aplace to sleep. The sta tion house was suggested, but this was declin- ed with thanks. The reporter had been hard up himself many times before, and though men of his class, he played the part of the Good Samaritan and conducted the alleged lawyer to the City hotel where he deposited sum sufficient to pay for the strangers bed While Charlie Downs is in, the reporter has come to the conclusion that he is seventy-fve cents out.
