DemOraliZed Bees.

ave have no honey at our place this
season." said Market street merchant,
residing in the suburbs. Last winter
distillery was set up in the valley below
us, and last summer all the bees in the
neighborhood resorted to it and became
grossly dissipatcd. Instead of buzzing
about among the flowers they hung
around the rum mill and spent their en-
tire time in getting intoxicated, thou
sands of them falling to the ground and
lying there in drunken stupor. The u.s.
ual consequences have ensued. of course
their homes have been deserted, their
families broken up, their savings wasted
in riotous living, their lives made miser-
able, and their usefulness in society de-
stroyed. Many have gone down to
drunkards' graves, and those that remain
are idling about the hives like disreputa-
BILE Did bummers, with winter here and
starvation staring them in the face.
Meantime we are short of honey, and
have got to buy some to try and keep the
scamps alive, and give 'em a chance to
reform, "-PhiladeLphia Enquirer.

Percentage.

Tho reckoning of percentages is
constant stumbling block to the novice.
Even experienced newspaper writer's
often become muddled when they at
tempt to speak oil it. The ascending
scale is easy enough: Five added to
twenty is twenty-five per cent. given
any sum OF figures, the doubling Of it is
an addition of 100 per cent. But the
moment the change is decreasing cal
culaton, the inexperienced mathema-
tician betrays himself, and even the ex-
pert is apt to stumble or go astray. An
advance from twenty to twenty five is
an increase of twenty-five per cent.
but the reverse of this, that is, decline
from twenty-five to twenty, is decrease
of only twenty per cent. There are
many persons, otherwise intelligent, who
cannot see why the reduction OF one
hundred to fifty is not a decrease of one
hundred per cent, if an advance from
fifty to one hundred is al increase of one
hundred per cent. The other day an
article of merchandise which had been
purchased at ten cents a pound was re-
sold at thirty cents pound,
profit of 200 per cent !;
whereupon writer, in chroni-
cling the sale, said at the beginning of
the recent depression several invoices of
the same class Of goods, which had cost
over thirty cents per pound, had been
finally sold at ten cents per pound, loss
of over 200 per cent. OF course there
cannot be n decrease or loss of more than
100 per cent, because this wipes out the
whole of the investment. An advance
from ten to thirty is n gain of 200 per

A Curious Old Clock.

Perhaps there is not an older clock in
America or one of so artistic and costly
finish as is now owned by +. 3. Chalfee,
of Middletown. lie regards it as in
valuable, both for its antiquity and its
perfect accuracy as a timekeeper 1t
has also adaptations and convenicnces
superior in kind and suited to a variety
of uses. This clock is called THE May
Queen, for distinctions sake and be-
cause of its prominence. On its Dutch
face it bears the following plain inscrip-
ton: Gil. p. Karbenters, Hague A. ID.
1868. Tempus Fugit." 1t is therefore
at the present time pr years old. The
clock is well preserved, considering its
great age. though in places the wood
seems to have been wOrm-e eaten and, as
it we're, honeycombcd. On the inside
are inscribed the family names of per-
sons supposed to have been its owners
before it was brought TO this country,
viz. Nandewater, Van Arteveld, Van
Benschoten, Sugdam and Van Zandt.
Probably no money would tempt the
present owner of this unique treasure to
part with it. 1t is valued even more in
the night than in the day,'as it strikes
not only the hours. but the half and
quarter hours, and by an attachment
moved bv cord or wire leading to any
sleeping room in the house, will tell to

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
King MiIan's FORCES Driven Gut of
bulgarian Territory.

Dispatches from l.pd toI give the following
late particulars OF the war between Servia
and bulgaria:
The Servians attacked the Bulgarian CEN
tire, but were repulsed, and retired in dsor-
der, crossing tho frontier near Tzaribrod.
The Servlsns are now retiring from their
positions at TIN. The Bulgaiians have adj
vanced to the front err Widdin Is being
shelled by the Servians but has not been
set on fire The Bulgarian commanlanJ
there prohibited the passage of elgut aus
titan tugs.
One of the saddest incidents of the present
struggle between ScrYia and Bulgaria is the
death of General Jovanovltrh, late com
nander Of the Danube division of the Servi-
an army, who has committed suicide by
shooting himself with revolver sooner than
survive the disgrace caused by his dismissal
from the army. At the battle of Slivntza
the general is said to have disobeyed orders
III advancing to the attack, hence his mill
tary death and eventual suicide,
Sofia, the dirty capital of Bulgaria is
wild with excitement over the news being
received from the front, and tho uninter-
rupted succession of Bulgarian triumphs. In
Sofia it is rumored that Prince Alexander, OF
Bulgaria, has followed up his victories
and is driving the Servians slowly
but surely from bulgarian territory
The latest dispatch says that the prince
stormed the heights of TZaribrod and occu-
pied the city, Alexander makinga triumphal
entry into the place and being received with
enthusiasm by the popuace.

Times says: Russia and England have in
duced the Porte to dispatch a 'ote to Servia
counselling King Milan to stop the war. The
Servian war accounts are unreliable. All
correspondents are eXclu led from the Servian
lines except two Aus ran correspondents
whose dispatches are cooked"
Later reports state that King Milan had
returned to Belgrade, having q, cepte1 the

The Bulgarian Question.

LONDON, October 12.-The Standards
Berlin correspondent says: Germany
with the approval of Austria, Russia,
and England, has proposed in the plan
for the settlement of the Bulgarian
question that the following principles
be observed:
First, that the Greek and Servian
demand be rejected.
Second, that Turkey be advised to
complete her military preparations, so
as to be ready to interfere in the event
of Greek and Servia moving to enforce
their demands.
Lastly, that the union of Bulgaria
and Roumelia under Prince Alexander,
the latter avowlng the Sovereignty of
the Sultan, be recognized.
BRUssELsI October u. - Gladstone
has written to Laveleye, well-known
writer;on political economy, as follows:
1 favor the Bulgarian union, but trust
its territory will not exceed its present
limits, because fear disastrous com
plications between the great powers
themselves and also the Hellenic and
Sclavonic races for an extension of terri
tory. l express myself on the question
with reserve, because my mind is per-
picked by the many difficulties sur
rounding it. I see that the Bulgarian
union, excellent ia itself, may produce
evils.

OHIO ELECTION.
THE BULGARIAN QUESTIC
The Ohio Election,

CINCINNATI, October 12.-The election
in Ohio, tomorrow, is for Governor and
other State officers, and for members OF
the Legislature, which shall elect sue
cessor to John Sherman. United States
Senator. This gives peculiar interest
to the election of members of the Legls-
lature. Estimates that purport to be
based on the polling of the State by
Democratic and Republican committees
give widely different results. The DEM
ocratic estimate elects Governor Hoad-
ley by from 20,0O0 to 5000 plurality.
The Republican elects Judge Foraker
for governor by from 1900 to 1900
plurality. Estimates on the Legislature,
by both parties, make the result close,
although both claim a majority. The
element of uncertainty, in the election
of governor, is the Prohibition vote. 1t
is generally conceded that its increase
will be mainly from Republicans. The
vote, two years ago, amounted to 1852.
The Democratic poll, this year, esti-
mated it at $4,000. Prohibitionists
themselves claim still greater vote. 1t
is possible many who vote for DIR.
Leonard, on the Prohibition ticket, will
vote with their former party in the
Legislature, so that the vote for COVER
nor will not indicate exactly the COM
plexion of the Legislature. In Cincin-
natl vigorous efforts have been made by
thenon-partisan committee to detect and
punish frauds in registration. Their
efforts reveal startling crime in this
direction; they have prepared and will
print to-day list of l 400 fraudulently
registered names. They say they have
no doubt there are 8 600 names that
should have appeared on this fraudulent
list if closer scrutiny could have been
given. They have issued seven warrants
for the arrest of persons violating the
law, but no arrests have yet |
been made. There is no anticipation of |
at the polls. Voting places
haYe been greatly increased and the |
crowds about them will be accordingly |
smaller. Besides, the new law prohibits !
persons from congregating within 100 |
ieet of the polling place.
