ILLUSTRATED

Harper's Bazaar is the only paper in the world
that combines the choicest literature and the finest
art illustrations with the latest fashions and
methods of household adornment. Its weekly
illustrations and descriptions of the newest Paris
and New York styles, with its useful pattern sheet
supplements and cut patterns, by enabling ladies
to be their own dressmakers, save many times the
cost of subscription. Its papers on cooking, the
management of servants, the housekeeping in its
various details are eminently practical. Much at
tention is given to the interesting topic of social
etiquette, and its illustrations of art needIework
are acknowledged to be unequalled. Its literary
merit is of the highest excellence and the unique
character of its humorous pictures has won for it
the name of the American Punch.

A storm of Grasshoppers.

HELENA, ARK, Nov. 20.-At an
early hour yesterday morning the cit
izens CT Helena were aroused by what
many of them at first thought to be q
heavy rainstOrm, but on looking out
they were surprised to see clear sky,
filled with what appeared to be snow
flakes and rain that was pattering with
such force against the roofs and win
dows of houses. Investigation proved
that the air was filled with grasshOp-
pers. Citizens who have seen the
dreaded pests sweep down and con-
sumo whole fields in Kansas. say that
in numbers the visitation last night
exceeds anything ever seen in that
country tenfold. They were passing
from east to west Great numbers
were disabled by hitting against build
ings and other instructions, as they
were flying very low, and porters and
clerks had to shovel them off the side
walks into the street. They were the
genuine Kansas grasshopper.

JUDGE RANNlY occupies nearly two

JUDGE RANN,Y occupies nearly two
columns of nonpareil type in the
Plain Dealer O. last Thursday, to ex-
press his objection to what he charac-
terizes " scheme" to secure the adop.
ton of the amendments to the State
Constitution changing the time for
holding e4ections from October to No
vember. We fear the Judge has
spoken too late. His principal objec-
tion is to the fact that the word NO as
well as YES was net printed on the
Democratic and Prohibition ballots.
To our mind this objection is wholly
without merit. The question had been
thoroughly discussed for six months
before the election and was fully un-
derstood by the people. Besides, nc
one was disconnected by reason oi
the ballot not containing the negative
expression, as the simple erasure OF
the Affirmative constituted it vote
against the proposed amendment, the
constitution requiring amajority of all
the votes cast to be in favor of the
amendment in order to adopt it. There
is NO room to doubt that the result in
this case ia the expression of the will
of the people of the State on the sub
ject.

At the opening exercises of the Con-
gregational Sabbath School in Charles
town, Nov. 8, a committee was ap-
pointed to draft appropriate resolu-
tions in memory of Mrs. Ellen Curtiss
Knapp, whose life's work closed the
3rd of November, 1885, at the age OF
43 years, and by whose death the Sab
bath School suffers an irreparable loss.
From early childhood her sweet, sill
very voice has mingled in its songs of
praise, and, for more than quarter
of u century she has been the organist
in both Church and Sabbath School.
The draped organ speaks in tones of
sadness of our bereavement. A few
brief weeks since, her fingers touched
its keys, and her voice rang out its
sweet, melodious praise to the God
she loved. She entwined life's work
SO effectually around home, neighbors
friends and society, it is murmured by
the aged and trembling lips, "How
we shall miss her." and the little ones
say, "How we loved her" The fol-
lowing resolutions were passed.
WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father,
in His all wise providence, has seen
fit to remove by death. our dear sister,
Mrs Knapp, a lady of christian graces
and rare musical ability and refine
ment, whose presence in the Sabbath
School has been one of marke ed attend
ance, anu in late years, sincere devo-
ton,
RESOLVED, That, as Sabbath School,
We bow submissively to the Infinite
Father, who rules in love the children
of earth, realizing with profound sor-
row the loss we have met in the death
of our departed sister.
Resolved, That we will cherish with
tender recOllections her work in the
Sabbath School, and we extend to hus-
band and mourning friends of deceased
our sympathy III this, their sad be-
reavement, praying for the abiding
love of Jesus with them in their deep
affiiction, friend as willing to heal
the broken hearted now as when stand
ing by the grave of Lazarus.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the press of our county
for publication also, that they be re-
corded upon the Sabbath School jour
nal.

war on Bogus Butter.

Pursuant to call, convention was
held in Warren on Saturday.in which
Geauga, Cuyahoga, Portage, Trum-
bull and Mahoning counties were well
represented. The object of the meet
ing was to discuss and adopt measures
for the protection of dairymen. Upon
invitation, State Representative Lamp
son, of Ashtabula county, State Sena-
tor Fassett, of Mahoning, Mr.. Law
renee, of the Ohio Farmer, and other
prominent men, were present and
made addresses.
The following points were agreed
upon:
l. That pure oleomargerine is as
wholesome as any butter, and cannot
be manufactured to compete with dali
ry or even creamery butter.
2. That there is no oleomargerine
made in this country at present, but
only an imitation. the ingredients of
which are different fats, oils, ETC., not
fit for food.
3. That while there is no law to
prevent the manufacturer from max
ing bogus butter, he can be compelled
to label tho commodity when put on
sale, showing the consumer just what
he is buying, thus protecting the dai-
rymen; for it is not thought that con-
sumers would purchase oleomargerine
did they know of what it is composed
A permanent organization was ef-
fected, and efforts will be made to ex-
tend the movement all over the State.
All the members of the Legislature
have been appealed to, and the subject
will come before the next General
| Assembly.

Lixyis Webster, what His Chances q
Are, and How He Bears III mn self


The report that the circuit court had
refused to graut Webster new trial is
not true. The bill of exceptions was
signed on the 1lth, by Judge Arrel,
before whom the case was tried at
Warren, and Mr.. Burrows, Webster's
attorney, then Immediately went be-
fore the circuit court and asked sus-
pension of sentence until the hearing
OF the motion for new trial at the
next term of the court at Warren.
Without any consideration of the JUS
tice or injustice of the request, the
court said that new and undecided
question of jurisdiction was involved,
arising from the recent law requiring
all prisoners condemned to death to
| be transferred to Columbus, and there
be executed within the penitentiary
and therefore they would refuse OIL
withhold their decision as to suspen.
sion of sentence until this question
had beeu decided by the supreme conrt
as to whether the circuit court had ju
risdiction over such condemned pris
oner after he had been removed from
their district and transferred to the
penitentiary. Mr., Burrows will bring
the matter before the Supreme Court
in few weeks,
! Reports from the penitentiary say
| that Webster does not expect to hang
but still clings to the belief that either
the circuit court or supreme court will
grant him new trial. The death
watch has been placed over him, aud
he passes his time playing checkers
or conversing with his guard. From
all accounts he bears what to most men
would be terrible suspense, with
commendabIe fortitude. - Western

WISE, late Republican candidate for
Governor of Virginia. has this to say
about the late election in that State /:
1.-THE colOred voters freely expressed
their will at the ballot box, and no OBJ
stacles, as I believe, were put in the
way of their voting, and I believe that
the count was honest. For some rea

the strongest, and where Republican
majorities have been greatest, they
went over to the Democratic side. 1t
