MYSTIC, Conn.,, Aug. 21.-At the convention
OF the Connecticut Peace Society today, Henry
L. Olubb, editor Of the Philadelphia Peace
maker in his speech referred to the political
position OF the peace question. The Repub-
lican national convention, he said, had adopt
cd an arbitration plank, and Presidents
Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, approveu
of arbitration. Had Gadfeld lived this pro-
ject In which he was sustained by Secretary
Blaine would have been carried out. If
Blaine andlLogan are elected, with an intelli-
gent working majority in Congress, we antici-
pate that in four years the United States will
place itself at the head of all civilized nations
on this subject.
Rev. j. S. Knapp of New York, proposed
one government for all nations and cited the
case of Great Britain, as showing that all
Municipalities could be governed by one central
Government. But England is despotism and
such Government would destroy nationality.
Other speakers advocated peace among all
nations.

CANoJoHARIE, Aug. 20.-The self-starving
case OF Kate, daughter of George Smusley of
Fort Plain, battles the medical profession
Her physician, DR.. William Zolen, says that
she is living skeleton, yet SO bloated that she
actually weighs more than three months ago.
Her parents and physicians have begged in
vain to get her to try and hold something on
her stomach, but she positively refuses to
swallow anything, only occasionally taking
slight quaffs Of water in her mouth, which is
quickly elected without being allowed to en-
ter the stomach. The girl has taken no food
for 162 days up to noon today, and no water or
liquid in Ter stomach in 80 days. She is 20
years OF age, and was, previous to her sickness,
progressing and q general favorite. She was
taken i'll twenty.three months ago with spinal
disease. Every effort was made to cure her,
but she finally gave up hope and adopted the
slow method OF suicide by starvation. She
suffers great pain, causing her body to keep in
constant motion from one side of the bed to
the other. Death is expected at any moment.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Aug. ola terrible acct
dent occurred at Buch Ridge mine today and
seven men were smothered by gas. A fire
broke out yesterday in the Buck Ridge slope
at depth of 1900 feet from the surface. A
company at once bought Greenback colliery
adjoining, the workings of which are higher
than those OF the Buck Ridge colliery. The

liery, turn the creek into both colliers and by
flooding both mines put out the fire. While
the men were engaged in this work today, gas
suddenly poured in from the burning mine
and before they could escape seven men fell
victims to the deadly fumes. 1t is impossible
to reach their bodies, as both mines are now
full of gas and the fire is increasing. Eleven
mules were also suffocated or burned.

SCHOOL DAY" AT FAIRS.

The Wisconsin Journal of Educa-
ton notes the fact that " it has grown
into a practice at several county
agricultural fairs to recognize the
public schools, by offering premiums
for certain kinds Of scool work and
for the products of labor and skill of
schools children" The Journal says:
This year, at some of these fairs, arrangements
have been made for q school day." on which
public schools are admitted free, and exercises
especially adapted to young people are provided
Walworth county is worthily leading in this
enterprise, and great inserest is excited in the
county, which will inure to the advantage of
the society as well as to the children and the
public schools.
And now we have the announcement that the
officers of the State Agricultural Society are to
recognize the public schools bv school day
at the state fair and September nth is set apart
for the children's gala day. Every child in the
state under sixteen years of age is invited, free
admittance is given, competitive test of oratory
by one representative from each congressional
district will be attempted, and speech by ex-

A picnic for the benefit of the
Catholic church of the town of Fitch
burg, Dane county, was held on the
grounds of the Wisconsin state fish
hatchery, on Thursday, Aug. %.
Hon. Burr w. Jones was one of
the speakers. We quote the follow
ing from the report of the affair as
given in the Madison Democrat:
Rev Father Ward said he arrived on the
grounds an hour or two before noon, loaded and
primed to make at least au hours speech, but
the time for speaking having been postponed,
he had only time to start the ball in motion.
He was obliged to return at once to Madison TO
take the afternoon train for his home. He would
take time and pleasure, however, to introduce
Hon Burr W. Jones' member of congress from
this (the third district. and in all probability
the next nominee of the democratic party fol
the same position, at the coming convention.
Mr. Jones came forward amid animated clap
ping of hands. He could not indulge in any
lengthy remarks for he was somewhat under
the weather" Early in the morning he feared
he should not be able to respond 10 the kind in
vitation extended to him, but he rallied and
undertook the effort. In looking over the
assemblage he was reminded of the difference
of opinions between the various religio us bodies
in the world in early days and now. All could
mingle in this age and labor together in the
grand moral work Of the church and school.
We had gained a great victory on the side OF
right and truth. If q church is to be erected,
it makes no difference to the well minded man
of this age whether it be for Protestants. or
Catholics, all aid heartily in the work because
it diffuses morality among all people. He re-
ferred to the time when Catholics could not hold
offices and could not vote in England; not SO
now. In this country everybody is actually
made to vote. If he does not go to the polls
of his own accord, he is provided with car
riage and driver. In this grand age Catholics
and Protestants live together in the street in
the same house, and there is no trouble. Even
in his young days there were at times bitter
discussions among the different seets. The cler-
gy would sometimes work themselves up to a
fever heat on the question of baptism, and
the whole neighborhood would take up the
question. 1t would be discussed on the street
corners, and he as boy used to enjoy the war
of words. There Elay be some little difference
of opinion existing nov regarding the shortest
way, but there is weil-grounded hope that the
gates will be wide enough to let us all in.
He wished the work of the church God-speed.
The speaker took his seat amid grand round

Two of Grover Cleveland's neph-
ews are residents and business men
of Beatrice. Nebraska, and have been
there for twelve years. They have
always been republicans, but sup
port the Cleveland ticket. Mr.. AL
bert Watkins formerly of this paper,
now editor of the Daily State Dem
ocrat, interviewed one of them re-
Gently. He says:
"A representative of the Democrat met one OF
them yesterday and learned that his mother
is the favorite sister of the governor, and lives
with him at present in Albany. The young
man denounced very emphatically his uncle's
republican slanderers and said that he was in
timately acquainted with him, and that his pri-
vate life has always been pure and temperate
in the extreme. Republican junk pot throwers,
such as the Lincoln Journal, assume to pity
poor Mrs. Blaine some inconsiderate deru-
ocrat make reprisals on Mr.. Blaine's early in
discretions, A taste of the same sort of filth
will perhaps make the republican organs under
stand, as no consideration Of decency could.

A WELL MERlTED COMPLIMENT.

The Dodgeville Chronicle of last
week pays the following well deserved
compliment to our present county
superintendent.
In our notice of the teachers institute last
week, we inadvertently omitted to accord fair
share Of praise to Miss Rose Bowling, county
superintendent to whose energy and tact
large portion of the success of the institute is
justly to be attributed. We would also remark;
in this connection that, as the people of Iowa
county well know, Miss. Bowling has been faith
ful and untiring in the discharge of the duties
Of her Office, throughout the term of her incum-
bency And while we would not wish to forestall
the action of the coming Republican county
convention, but stand ready to accord hearty
support to any worthy candidate which 1t may
present for the position, We believe that should
the convention sink mere party considerations
In this instance and recommend her reelection
for another term. 1t would but bestow graceful
compliment upon a most worthy recipient
