 at a Dinner Party

Stricken With Apoplexy While Sitting
 at a Dinner Party.
 NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-Horace Brigham Clafin, whose reputation as one of the great est merchants of New York extended throughout the country and to Europe, died ot apoplexy at o'clock yesterday afternoon at his country house at Fordham. MT. Clafin was in his seventy-fourth year. Around his bedside were Mrs. Claf1in and her two sons, John and Arthur, with their wives. MT. Clahin was conscious few mo- nents before his death and appeared to know that he was about to die. He whis- pered good-by to his wife and children. His death was painless. MT. Clafin was at his store at Worth and Church streets al day Wednesday and took one of the late af- ternoon trains to Fordham, where he has passed the summer and fall for number of years. It was on Thursday evening, at 8 dinner party which MT. Clafiin was giving in honor of one of his partners, Edward E. Flames, that MT. Clahin was first taken sick. He was unusually jolly, joking with every body present. During the dinner he turned to Mrs. Fairchild and said: "Wen, Mrs. Fairlady, how is MT. Fairman, the gentle man on your left, getting alongs" He had hardly spoken when his head dropped, and he lost the power. of speech, though he was semi-conscious. The dinner party broke up in alarm. MT. Clafin was assisted to his room, and his physician was sent for. He gradually grew weaker until he died.
 MT. Clafin was born at Milford, Mass December 18, 1911, received 8 common school education, and at the age of twenty years entered his fathers store in Milford. There he stayed a year and then went to Worcester Mass, and engaged in business. He came to New York in 1843 and entered the wholesale trade in Cedar street with 8 partner, thence to 57 Broadway in 1851 and in 1861 to'' the building in which the business. of the firm is now done. It is understood that MT. Claflin leaves 6 fortune of several millions. For twelve years or more he has been con- spicuous member of the Plymouth church society, though not 6 member of the church, and in 1874 he was on the examining com mittee, with Henry W. Sage, Augustus Storrs, Henry N. Cleveland, John Winslow and S. V White, appointed to inquire into and report as to the truth of the 'erumoTs, insinuations or charges" made respecting the conduct of Beecher by Theodore Hilton. For many years MT. Cladin purchased the high est priced pew in the church and at the close of the Beecher trial gave the largest sub scription towards expenses and toward Beecher's $1OO 900 salary.

4 Golden Oppurtunlty

1t is curious to note the way IN
which farmers lose interest in any kind
of stock which is declining in price
When hogs are selling at six cents,
they are all interested, and invest
heavily in brood sows, but when they
go down to three cents, they grow
careless and conclude there is no pro-
fit in hogs. Production falls off, and
pork climbs the golden stair, and
these same fellows are securing the
country paying high prices to replen-
Ish their herds, to find themselves
compelled at last to sell the produce
al low price. This plan keeps lot
of fellows poor, whereas, If they would
reverse the process, and when pork is
down lay the foundation for a splen-
did herd for little money, they would
be on the highway to prosperity.
Just now the Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio farmer is concluding that the
corn is worth more than the pork, and
his pork product will fall off. Breed.
ing stock will be cheaper this fall, and
now is the time to weed out all scrubs
and grades, and buy good, thorough
bred, growthy stock, that has not been
stuffed nor pampered. The great
world has not lost its love for tender,
juicy pork, and never will. 1t will be
raised where corn and oats are long
distance from market, and where grass
grows luxuriantly. Much of the grain
is wasted by being fed to poor stock
in slovenly manner. Now is the
time to reform, and farmers should
keep a business eye on the advertise
ments in the papers to See who has
the stock they want for sale and a,
reasonable prices.-l0wa Homestead

The O. NJ. & r.

ST. Louis, No., July 15.-In The
United States circuit court today, on
an intervention of Theodore Gilman
and Charles II. Bull, trustees of the
Quincy, Missouri and Pacific railroad,
in the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific
receiveiship, the receivers were order
ed to turn the property over to the
trustees before August 1, and were
given thirty additional days in which to
collect the rolling stock belonging to
the line. This reduces the Wabash
system to I34 miles. The Topped off
line was the only Improbable feeder
in operation and extended from West
Quincy, on the Mississippi river, to
Trenton, Grundy county. Mo.

You may theorize and argue to the
farmers until you are hoarse, yet you
twill fail to get them to prefer low
sprices to high ones for their products.
They know that one bushel of wheat
sat SI.25 In currency will buy one acre
sof government land, while it takes two
sand half bushels at fifty cents to pur-
schase it though it be in gold. They
know that a dollar in paper. if legal
tender, will pay dollar of taxes as
.well as dollar in gold. They know
well enough from experience that if
you run down prices by lessening the
currency to. bring it to a par with gold,
here will be no corresponding de-
crease In taxes, and salaries of county,
State and municipal officers, nor in the
debts they owe.-.Senator Logan.

4 Hint to the Boys.

l stood in the store the other day
when boy came in and applied for a
situation.
Can you write a good hand?" was
asked.
"Yaas."
"Good at figures?"
"Yaas,"
THAT will do; I don't want you,'
said the merchant.
But, l SAID, when the boy had gone
Fl know that lad to be an honest indus.

Because he hasn't learned to say

me as he did when applying for stu
alton, how will he answer customers

What could say to that? He hao
fallen into habit, young as he was
which turned him away from the frs
situation he had ever applied for.

EpIToRIAL NOTES,

Grant, the soldier, the statesman,
the historian, the greatest man OF the
nineteenth century, is Sead.
Thousands of people are attend
ing the meetings of Rev. Sam. Jones
at Plattsburg, Mo. Over one hundred
army tents have been secured aud are
used for the occasion.
BY glancing over the GRAPHIC mar
ket reports, farmers will find that the
price of hogs has been rising steadily
for the past three weeks, and that
there is also slight change for the
better In the cattle market
The eastern boot and shoe
factories are having all the orders for
boots and shoes that they can fill
Iron works which have been idle are
gradually beginning to open WORK, and
by the middle of September a healthy
movement in ali channels of trade is
looked for.
The grain dealers tell US that the
new oat crop will probably open at Il
cents per bushel. We do not think
the farmers vii. be in a very grea'
hurry to sell at that price, When oats
are not worth more than II cents PEI
bushel, the land would better be SOW
ed in grass.
When we picked up the H0m'
Press last week and glanced over it
columns, we thought political freshe
had struck the sanctum of that PRO
f0und institution but glancing at th'
date line we found it last September
paper, and that the Home Press mar
had been trying to palm off stale read
onus.
As an example of newspape
enterprise the New York World stand
first and foremost. Last Sunda,
mornings edition was printed and th'
papers sold all about Boston, nearly
$50 miles away from New York, be

The spirit OF Western journalism in
fused into the paper causes tn
"World" to revolve all round tn
"hub" before the hub" can get il
motion.
The Quincy Post-office is in
muddle. Mr.. James H. Richardson re
ceived his commission as post maste
last Friday and expected to enter up
on his duties Saturday, but there wa
a hitch in the proceedings. The fl,
lures and furniture belong to Cap

for the incoming postmaster to pay tn
outgoing officer the money expende
in furnishing the Office. This Nj
