Trenton, Sept, 24.-Goldsmith
Maid, once "Queen of the turf" died
at the Fashion Stud farm near this
city yesterday. She was ill only a
few hours. A post norton examina-
ton showed that the Maid suffered
from fatty degeneration and enlarge
ment of the heart. She was % years
old last May, and for several years
she has been living in retirement at
the Fashion Stud farm. She trotted
132 races of which she won 90. Her

Little Sins.

A little hole in a ship will sink it;
a small breach in a sea bank carries
all away before it; little stab in the
heart kills man; and a little sin, as
it is often improperly called, tends to
his final destruction. Whatever sin
the heart is prone to, that the devil
will help forward. A little drop has
been many mans ruin-every
drunkard began with single glass.

The Corn Crop.

The Associated Press furnishes re-
ports from all the principal corn pro-
ducing states, which show that the
crop will be an immense one this
year. Very few localities report any
damage by frost. Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky,
Kansas and Ohio will have the largest
yield for several years if fair weather
continues for a week. In Minnesota
there has been some damage by frost,
still it is estimated that so per cent.
of a full crop can be counted on.

Hold Your Wheat.

Cleveland Banner.
Rufus Hatch wrote an article for
the New York Sun last week and
sent it all over the United States adj
vising farmers to hold their wheat.
The shortage in England, Germany,
France and America will be 100000
600 bushels, while Russia may come
short lOO,O00,OO0. 1t is predicted with
certainty that wheat will go way up
and farmers ought to have every cent
of the increase.

When business becomes so absorb
ing as to result in insomania it is
time to stop business, or business may
stop you. No sleep, no brain; no
sleep, no vigOr. Sleep means fill
ing up of body with new strength.
Sleep is as much food as bread.
There is time to stop turning a sub
ject over and over again until it gains
complete possession Of you, and you
may turn and toss and can't lie still
out of very WEAKNESS. That is one of
the initiatOry steps to a mad house.
Sleep is money. Sound nights rest
will give you a clearer head for

The Runaways.

From "salmagundi," in Southern Bivouac.
We have never seen this story in
print. It is attributed to Colonel a.
S. Colyar, of Tennessee, and is illus
trative of the force of habit
A well-to-do old farmer, in one of
the best counties of Middle Tennes-
see, owned large number of slaves,
and among them an old darby about
his own age, and whom he had
known all his life. In fact, he was
one of the "old family negroes"
brought out from Virginia. Old
Sam was a faithful, docile creature, a
great favorite with his master, and
sort of privileged character on the
plantation. The old fellow was in
dustrious and exemplary in his be-
havior all the year round, except dur
ing that period dating from the time
when roasting ears begin and the
earliest appearance OffrOst. Sam was
invariably seized at that period with
an invincible desire to "run away"
1t required as regularly as a fit of
ebay fever" was as incurable, and
like that unpleasant disorder could
only be treated by change Of air and
locality. Sam, understanding this,
preferred to take his case in his own
hands and administer the treatment
in his own discretion. OF course, in
such case, the usual punishment in
flicted on runaway niggers" was not
to be thought of. Remonstrance was
unavailing. Sam declared, "He jes'
couldn't hep hissef," and it became
a settled and understood arrangement
that he should 60, and that the neigh
borhood should condone his raids on
cornfelds and potato patches. After
many such escapades, his old master
asked him on one occasion, when the
matter was under discussion:
"Sam, do you really enjoy running
away?"
"'Deed, Marse John, l does. Hits
de moas' fun in de worP. Coon hunt
in amt no whars to hit"
"Well, them" said Marse, "just let
me know the next time you take a
notion to start, and I'll go with you
and try it awhile"
Sure enough, in due season, Sam
came up, saying:
cole Marse, de times mighty nigh
when Pbleeged to lite out. If you
guine wild me you better be reddy
for when de time comes j got to &C
quick"
cold Marse" kept bright lookout
and when Sam started he was OF
hand.
They had delightful time. They
fshed occasionally, caught 'possoms
robbed orchards and watermelon anC
potato patches, picked blackberrie:
for recreation, and haunted the green
est and shadiest hooks of the forest
all of which Sam knew well. "OlC
Marse" had never enjoyed summer
so much. In fact he was so wei
pleased that regularly after that hi
accompanied Sam when the latte
went into annual retreat. At length
Sam died. The old master grieveC
for him sincerely. He was sad als'
over the reflection that his summe
pastime would in future be denied
But, to the amazement of all hi
friends, and not less his own, whel
roasting-ear time came again, the fl
seized him as strong as ever, and h
ran away by himself.

little sense as to leave my command without
permission. The men of the Sixty fifth are
well and ready for duty, come what may. l
leave the regiment in good hands. I believe
that all will be over soon and that the Metis
will submit. The affair is less serious than
is thought here.

A BOMB FROM WHITNEY.
The FOremen of the Mare Islant
Navy Yard Removed For COercfn:


Voters.
WASHINGTON, April e2.-secretary Whit
ney has written the following letter to Com
modore Russell, commandant of the Mare
Island Navy yard, in which he directs the
dismissal of the foremen implicated in the
coercion of the voters of that yard in former
elections:
sSinee assuming the duties of this office
my attention has been called to the conduct
of the foremen of the Mare Island navy yard
in elections iu past years, particularly in
1882. After reading the testimony in the
contested election case of Burke VS.. Dudley
taken in the fall of 1889, there is no doubt
in my mind that the vote of the yard was
practically coerced and controlled by the
foremen either with or without orders.
The men were obliged to take
their ballots III folded form from table
presided over by one or more of the foremen,
holding the ballot in sight while walking to
the polls, one hundred feet distant, for the
purpose of preventing any change of ballots
on their part, and the ballot deposited with
out the voter having had the opportunity to
see or know it's contents or to exercise any
find that the same foremen who con-
Quoted this proceeding are still at the
yard in the various departments. Great com
plant is made to me of similar proceedings
in other years, but have already read suf-
feient of this sworn testimony to satisfy me
that the men who engaged in the proceeding
as foremen directing and controlling it should
be cleared out of the yard in the interest of
decent government, and if any similar pro-
ceeding or anything like it or any attempt to
coerce the act of the employees of the yard by
foremen. or superior officers should take
place hereafter, whether in the interest OF
the dominant party or otherwise, will ap-
ply a similar remedy. Appointments in
place of the persons discharged will
be made temporarily and upon trial until
efficient men shall have been obtained.
In this connection I desire to say
that the bureau officers here complain
greatly of the delays and the extraordinary
force required to do work at the Mare Island
yard. 1 ask your special attention to these
matters in the hope that you will cooperate
with me in effort to bring the yard to a
greater efficiency and to eliminate these OBJ
jectionable features from it.

The workmen on the Canadian Pacific rail

Crossing the first gap 1 saw several mounds
with crosses on top of them. I inquired
what they were and was told they were
termed slaughter houses. My informant
told me the men had great dread of going to
them. They tell the most unpleasant stories
about them. One was about a man named
Grant from Aprior going in one of them
with $500 and soon after dying. The money
was not seen again. The men say they are
charged $3.50 a week in them for
board Lot fit to eat. No one
seemed to know who was at the head
of these institutions, bat it is said that the
syndicate let the contract to a doctor in Mon
treal who hires young men with perhaps little
knowledge Of medicine to take charge of
them. man whom the majority of those
in London know told me that cook to one
of these medical men was overheard to com

replied the other. These things are almost
beyond belief, but the railroad men certain
