The Bantam GRANDMOTHER.

Ordinarily a newborn chicken will

If not owe a day OF two old. but not
so with five little bantams recently
Matched in Justice Poe's hennery. His
little boy, Harry, possessed a very
beautiful little bantam hen, which vas
priced for its beauty and gracefulness,
but no sooner had she served her time
on the nest, and came strutting forth
with the five little beauties, than'h her
worldly existence came to an end.
In this dilemma Harry tried to get
another hen to be tender and true to
the little orphans, but il remained for
the grandmother of the orphans to as
sumo this responsibility. The grand
mother was herself on a nest and try.

fortunate young man named John
Shields, brought to jail Sunday, furn.
ishes a good example Of that observa-

in a rolling-mill, and lives at No. $50
Lorain street. One week ago he
seemed to be in the healthy possession
of all his mental faculties. Now his
mind is incapable of pursuing any one
line of thought for nor than a few
seconds. Three words, consecutive in
sense, was the limit of each of his en-
deavors to speak. On the way to the
asylum he said, in what was afterward
learned TO be an attempt to tell his
guard that he hoped he would not be-
kept long in confinement: Don't

him and clasped him about tho waist,

The Warning From the Bake Oven

NhC DuhV VFCUs
Not long since there moved to Ches-
terton a middle-aged man and his wife,
together with a large family of chill
dren. They came from New England.
and purchased a place on which stood
one OF the Oldest and best-known
houses to be found in the whole
country. They moved in early spring.
and when May came, naturally began
to explore the place more fully. One
day Mrs. Charles, a lsrge whole-souled
woman. with a strong religious temp
erment almost verging upon supersti-
ton, came upon an old hake-oyen
which had been used in early times,
but long ago abandoned. AS Mrs.
Charles family was large, she determ-
ined to make use of the oven for the
next Saturdays baking. She heated
it, putin her dough, and theresult was
Elk magnificent loaves of very tempt
ing bread. But on the bottom of one
of the loayes appeared the statement:
"Died June 15," in old-fashioned but
well-defned text. The fact disconcert-
ed the family. and their feeling
amounted to CONSERVATION, when week
after week the same statement appear
ed on the bread-s'Died June 15.n
Mrs. Charles, with her slightly super
stitious turn, thought it meant her,
and, as the date approached, gradually
grew i'll, SO strong was the power Of
Imagination, in fact, that the day be-
fore the fatal one named found her i n
bed a very i'll woman and firmly con-
vinced that the next day would be her
last. The news OF Mrs Charles ILL
ness spread abroad and finally reached
the ears of an old r~esidenter, who lost
no time In getting to the home of the
sick woman. He found her in what
she thought her last hours, but quick
ly explained that, many years before,
he had helped to build that bake-oyen,
and had used for one the bottom slabs
a part of an old tombstone that had
been spoiled in the cutting. Every
body in the neighborheod, he said,
knew about this popularity of old
Hannah Hendricks bake-oven and
should have told the newcomers. II

THAT success inspires envy and d1shon-
est competition is well known. The force Of
this must have often occurred to the
Charles A. Vogeler Co., Of Baltimore.
Last year in London, Eng, an unscrupu-
lous dealer sought to place a so-called ''St.
David's" Oil in the market on the strength
of the great popularity of the Vogeler
Co.'s 'St. Jacobs" Oil. Thanks to En-
glish law, the high court Of justice prompt
ly issued a perpetual injunction against
the defendant and imposed heavy dam
ages. Some years ago the. U. S. Court at
Cleveland, O., in a similar case awarded
this Baltimore house 81, 900 damages. The
Charles A. Vogeler Co. has again been
called upon to defend its rights and has
recently instituted suit in the Circuit
Court Of Baltimore city for injunction and
damages. No doubt the best evidence of
the marvellous efficacy of "St. Jacobs
Oil" is to be found in the many unsuccess-
full attempts to trade upon its reputation.

Parader of MORALITY.

A man has right to take pride in his
moral character. 1t is the one thing
that counts with men in the long run
down the ages. Intellect coupled with
infamy does not last. Time covers it
with neglect. Intellect to live, must be
associated with some right principle
and correct conduct. There must be
something manly about it. A great
many things are pardoned to private
conduct when it is known that the
mans public principles are pure and
noble. There can be no question but
Webster, in private life. had many
shortcomings, but where do you look
Tor healthier, or more manly words
than you find in his letters and
speeches? There is this, too, to be said
of him. He never made any lofty and
ostentatious display OF his sentiments.
He was conscious of his principles, but
he never made them Extensively promi-
nent. In excusing the faults of Lord
Bacon, the Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-THE
most offensive part of Macauley is this
assumption of a lofty moral tone when
hesis libeling great man. In the case
of torture. as in the latter case of cor
ruption, it is clear beyond doubt that
Bacon's error or weakness consisted in
this, that he was not so far in advance
OF contemporary morality as we might
have desired. But there is wide dis
tinction between man who breaks ac-
cepted and recognized rules and one
who is only not in advance of them.
A compliance with questionable, but
hardly yet questioned, practices is com
patible with lofty and patriotic aims,
whereas man who, judged even by the
contemporary standard is a contempti-
bic sneak, can hardly be credited with
any kind of virtue. Now, Macauley gets
cheap credit by refusing to allow this
plea of Bacon. To the average common
sense of mankind it looks very virtuous
to say that cruelty and corruption is
corruption all the world over. "-Er.

China and Japan .

SAN Francisco, May 16.-Associated
Press advices from Toxic. Japan. state
that negotiations between Japan and
China, regarding the Corean difficulty
have been amicably concluded.
A convention has been signed at
Tientsin, as follows:
First-China and Japan are to with
draw their troops from Corea, and
neither to send soldiers there again
without giving previous notice to the
other.
Second-The Chinese commanders
who led the attack on the Japanese
minister and his body guard at Seoul
are to be publicly reprimanded.
Third-The Chinese government is to
Immediately investigate the charge of
the Chinese soldiers who killed the
private; the Japanese to punish all per
sons found guilty; to remunerate the
families of relatives of the murdered
and injured persons.
The result is viewed as a peaceful
triumph for Japan.
The discount on paper currency from
10 per cent. has dropped to Az.
The occupation of Port Hamilton,
Corea, by English cruisers causes great
embarrassment to the Japanese gov
eminent. Japan will not allow it to pass
without protest, believing her territory
to be in danger in the event of war be
tween England and Russia.
The Americans in Toxic and Yoke
hama intend giving Mr. Bingham
United States Minister to Japan, a din
ner, as mark of their esteem of their
appreciation of his services. Some tes-
timonial, not determined on, will be
presented him at the same time.

B. Foote, Jr., who has never visited
Utah or the great west, nor practiced
medicine outside of New York, where
he has been associated with his father
for the past ten years. Anyone using
the name must show some reason that
entities him to do so, or his pretensions
will be challenged. Any one VINO fraud
ulently and with intent to deceive, uses
a name which does not belong to him,
can hardly be relied upon as q safe
counsellor when health and life are at
stake
The readers of DR.. Foote's works, all
patients who have consulted him by
letter, and the sick generally, are in
vited to call. No charge for consulta-
ton in person or by mail.
DR.. Foote'S visit will be brought to a
close as soon as the object which

This unavoidable uncertainty renders
it expedient that those who wish to

should do so without delay.

man was beaten severely by two or

The authorities and vigilants not satls-

the Chinaman, threw him into the river
and on his failing to drown as quickly
as they desired, shot him to death. The
perpetrators of the murder claim that
the Chinaman assaulted a young white

meant no harm to the girl and did
nothing to alarm her. The parties con-

LONDON, May 16.-The British govern
ment, to-day, issued diplomatic papers,
which state that Her Majesty's govern
ment will be compelled to regard as a
hostile act any movement of Russia to-
ward Herat On the other hand, it is
announced that Russia has spontane
ously disclaimed any menacing inten-
tlon in regard to Herat. The British
government is, therefore, favorably in
clined to consider that the question at
issue between England and Russia has
reached settlement satisfactory to both
countries.
The documents submitted TO Parlia-
ment to-day, covered the Anglo Russian
dispute up to the time of the Penideh
incident, and to show the aggression on
the part of the Russian government
upon the Ameer's territory, of which
Herat is the salient point.
From st. Petersburg comes the news
that the Russian government has de-
cided upon outstanding the German
provinces along the Baltic. To accom-
plish this, the Gar has issued a ukase
that, hereafter, the Russian language
shall be taught in all the schools
in these provinces and shall entirely
replace the German language in these
schools, wherein, heretofore. it has
been taught A similar edict has been
issued in w arsaw, in the Official Journal
This edict makes the Russian language
the only elementary language to be
taught throughout Russian Poland. II
IS announced that as soon as the Anglo
Russian difficulty is settled, the Czarina
will visit the Princess of Wales in
