The New York Communists.


New York telegram Great excitement
was caused by the announcement of
Socialistic Communist meeting, to be held
in Cooper Union Hall and a platoon OF
police were sent to the hall to maintain
order. The hall was packed with men
and women, and over the platform tloated
the red flag of the Commune. A number
of speakers emitted the usal dose of dy-
Mantle wind, and failed to create the ex-,
pected excitement. John Most, the Com
munist, was not permitted to speak and
the AUDIENCE finally marched out. The
demonstration received a complete .fzzle
and the police were laughed at. A few
of the hot headed Communists had actually
proposed to inaugurate a New York edition
of the Cincinnati riots, and had intended
to begin Operations by blowing up the
homes of w. II. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould.
The police are closely watching the lead
ing agitatols, and at the first indication of
trouble will administer salutary dose of
discipline. l''ee n '

Northern Resorts for Health or Pleasure.
We notice by exchanges that the North
ern Pacific is interested in building up
Minnewaukan, the Devils Lake of Da-
kota, as a summer resort and is advertis-
ing IT extensively to that end. The place
has no special natural attractions except
that it is large inland lake of alkaline
water and is situated sufficiently far north
to insure comfortable GOODNESS in the hot
season.
But is it not somewhat strange that the
Northern Pacific company docs not give
some attention to one or. other of the nat
ural health resorts of Montana--the hot
springs2 We presume Hunters Springs
would be most available from being close
beside the railroad and approachable at
all seasons. No one can doubt the efficacy
of their waters for all diseases that yield
to hot sulphur waters, and it is the opin-
Ion OF many that they are equal or SUI.
perior to the famous Arkansas Hot Springs.
Now this latter resort is constantly adyer-,
tised by southern roads as one Of the main
attractions of the country reached by their
lines and We wonder that the Northern
Pacific company does not see its way
clear to advertise what would become an
equally popular resort in this country.
The object on the part Of the company
would be to draw travel IN this direction,
and with proper advertising, the whole
Northern Pacific, country would come to
look ulsan the Springs as the great north

Thurman's Fish Story.

Once upon q time, when crowded

ambition in that direction. A look OF
incredulity on every face was the only,
response. The Judge took III these
looks and related little story. Said

Detection Of OleOmargarine.

DR.. Thomas Taylor reports to the
Department. of Agriculture that he
has made a series Of experiments
with oleomargarine of different fats,
using a variety of acids to ascertain
what permanent change of color wonld
take place by oxidation, etc. Of the
various acids employed, sulphuric
acid gave the most satisfactory results.
The test is very simple one. If a
few drops of sulphuric acid be COM
bined with a small quantity of pure
butter, the butter will assume first an
opaqe whitish-yellow color, and after
the lapse ofabout ten minutes, it will
change to brick red. Oleomargarine
made of beef fat, when treated in the
same manner, changes at first to clear
amber, and after the lapse Of about
twenty minutes, to a deep crimson.
That the changes in color do not
arise from the action of the sulphuric
acid or the artificial coloring matter
(annatto) is certain, as I find that
when annatto is combined with sui
phuric acid dark bluish-green color
is produced, entirely unlike any of the
changes mentioned.
Owing to the active corrosive prop
critics of the sulphuric acid, in max
ing these tests, glass rod should be
used in combining these substances.

Ice Cream Mustaches.

The astounding announcement that
ice-cream will make the mustache
grow has created q Juror for the frozen
delight on the part Of beardless young
men. 1t has also. increased the bust
ness of the average ice-cream dealer to
an extent hitherto unknown or I'M
dreamed of even In his Widest flights
of imagination. There seems to BIO no
doubt that the cruel and reckless
report originated with some giddy
girls whose fondness for cream over
came her conscientious scruples. AS
long as she remains unknown she will
reap the harvest to which she is en-
titled by virtue of her vivid magma
ton and praiseworthy ingenuity. But
if the secret escapes her all her hopes
of unlimited ice cream will be blasted
forever. Though the strain on the
purse of the impecunious youth is Sc
we're, yet his desire for q capillary eli
max to his handsome face counter
balances the agony caused by woeful
lack of climbing coin. The mustache

Evolutions of the American Hotel

Exactly fifty-two years ago. when
Fanny Kemble first came to this coun-
try, she records that the universal din
ing hour in New York was 5 o'clock,
after which the hotel cooks and SER
wants cleared off the tables, cleared
out themselves, and it was impossible
to obtain anything fit to eat for love or
money. At that time the American
Hotel, at which she stayed, was the
best in the city, though MIR. John Jacob
Astor, whom she calls ''the millionaire
of New York" Gas if he was the only
one them), was about to remedy the
deficiency by building a magnificent
hotel, which soon after he did. The
Mansion House in Philadelphia was
considered excellent; SO was Cozzens'
establishment at West Point; but Miss
Fanny thought the fremont in Boston.
by far the best hotel then existing in
America. She has lived to see in NeW
York alone a multitude of magnificent
hotels which are surpassed in no city
in Europe.

Picks-ups.

The man who has not an enemy is
really poor.
Advice is like castor oil, easy enough
to give put dreadful uneasy to take.
What man gets for nothing, he is
very apt to value at just about what
it cost him.
There is nothing like a good sized
earthquake to create a lively move
ment in real estate.
The superiority of some men is
merely local. They are great because
their associates are little.
When a man has no mind of his
own he can always find woman who
will give him piece of hers.
Those who are too proud to
enquire what thing costs when
they buy it, are the first to find fault
when they come to pay for it.
Simple emotion will not suffice to
elevate the character or improve the
life. There must be power of self-de-
NAL, strength of will, persevering
effort.
