THE RAILROAD STRIKE on the

THE RAILROAD STRIKE on the
Gould lines has at last come to close.
A conference held by Jay Gould and
Mr.. Powderly, the latter representing
the labor unions, after some wrang-
ling about few. technicalities has
resulted in an n d e st n d i n &
between the two opposing parties and
orders were issued to Immediately
resume work and traffic on the
southwestern railroads. T his is
an exceedingly happy termination
of the trouble and the country can
congratulate itself that the end of this
serious agitation came in as peaceful
q manner. Thousands of people had
been affected directly and indirectly
by this widespread strike and the
probability Of satisfactory solution
of this problem seemed almost out of
reach. The progress of the strike,
which seemed to grow in dimentions
from day to day, was anxiously
watched by the whole American peo-
pie, and the country almost held its
breath in fearful expectation of posi-
bic riots and bloodshed. BY few
hours of cool and collected argument
this much.dreaded calamity was
averted and peace and goodwill again
reign supreme.

MR.. MANNING'S CONDITION.
No Change for the Worse and His
Friends Taking Hope.

The condition of Secretary Manning
has not materially changed since yes
terday. If anything, his physicians
say, he is slightly better, though they
still concede the extreme gravity of his
case. They have at no time been very
explicit regarding his condition and
this has added to the apprehension as
to the probability of his recovery. But
the longer he continues without mater
ial change for the worse or reccur-
renee of the attack the greater his
chances for getting well, and this en-
courages new hope on the part OF his
friends.
His condition is watched with the
deepest solicitude and his physicians
and attendants are besought hourly for
information. His physicians say 1t
will be several days before the crisis is
passed, and until this time the public
concern will be undated.

The strikers are destitute and are
compelled to beg for food. The men
are desperate and threaten personal vi

A number of men will go to work to-
morrow. They will be armed with
revolyers with which to defend them
selves in case of an attack by strikers.
The authorities have prohibited the

Potatoes Ready Peeled.

An American gentleman residing in
France writes: Potato culture is likely
to receive an new impetus since the plan
OF selling them peeled, sliced and dried.
like certain fruits, seem to hit the taste
OF the export market. The drying of
the potatoes can follow the period OF
dessication of fruits. The method OBJ
vlates decay and termination Of the
tuber, and occupying a less volume
transport will be cheaper and less diff
cult. The potatoes are peeled by ma
chlnery; next carefully washed, sliced
into rounds, and left for 20 minutes in a
strong solution of kitchen salt. The
BRINE induces firmness in the slices and
prevents their changing color-thus Sc.
curing what sulphur does for fruits.
Later the cuttings are left to drain.
placed in the drying apparatus on hurdle
shelves and submitted to temperature
varying from 176 to 1914 degrees
Fahrenheit. They must remain q little
longer in this hot bath than fruit Be-
fore using the slices have to be stcepcd
twelve to fifteen hours in water, when
they will become as fresh and as flavory
as new potatoes.

Somebody has been carefully figuring
on Grants memoirs, and arrives at the
con lusion that, while the lowest sub.
ription piice is $40, the manufac-
turing cost is seventy-fve cents vol.
ume, and the distributing cost just
double $3.50. The figures make the
entire cost $3.50, or $2.25 per volume.
Of the profit, SO, Mrs. Grant receives
seventy per cent. and Edward L. Web
ster & Co. thirty per cent. The &C
count at present stands: 50, $50, 900 re-
ceived for 600, 900 volumes, from which
81, $50, 900 must be deducted for manu-
featuring, distribution and sale, leaving
5000, O09, of which Mrs. Grant gets
$3.50, 900, and Webster 81 Co. $3.50, 900.
The foreign and future sales are esti-
mated at 100, 1000 more, from which
Mrs. Grant will receive $210, 900, and
the publisher $50, 900. 1t is altogether
probable that the total sale will be fully
700, 000 and the widows share about
$40, 900. 1t is doubtful if anybody has
ever began to realize such profits from
the sale of work. They are stupen-
dous.

An attempt to catch rats by traps Oh
by poisoning them suddenly will fail.
Old rats know too much and can only be
caught by kindness. To destroy them
give them a good meal every day. Do
not put any poison in the food, but
simply prepare a dish for them daily, as
free lunch, composed of corn meat
moistened with milk, into which an egg
and little salt, to season, has been
beaten. At first they may not touch it,
but keep it before them making it fresh
daily. They will soon try little and if
not injurious their suspicious will be
allayed. In week or ten days they
will expect it and every rat on the place
will be at the appointed spot for the
treat. Give plenty of it so as to inducet
all the rats in the neighborhood to join
in. Do not be in hurry to poison them.
If they cat all the food give them lar
ger quantity next time. As soon as they
have thrown off oil suspicion go to your
druggist, get some phosphorus paste or
other rat poison, mix it with the food,
and be sure you give them enough and
something to spare, so as to induce all
to eat They will either be killed or
become so suspicious of all other food as to
leave, and not a rat will remain. Hence
to destroy rats, take plenty Of time, gain
their confidence and finish them when
they least expect it,-Farm, Field Gnd
St0ckDean.

PhotographiDg from Balloon.

From paper in the Century we quote
as follows: "The mountains crossed in
this delightfully."- easy manner, we were
over the town of Bloomfield; and an ex.
posure was made on what seemed to us a
fine type of the better class of New Eng
land homestead, which, with its large
fields, trim fences, and ample buildings,
was directly below us. This view, taken
at the height of one mile, is wonderfully
distinct, when we consider the distance
Of the objects from the camera, the con-
ditions necessary to the taking of an in
stantaneous picture, and our very un-
steady support. The stone and rail
fences, bounding the fields of all sizes
and shapes are shown with great sharp
ness. The pas ure, meadow, and cult
waited land are plainly indicated; also
the curiously regular arrangement of the
crops. The trim and regular appearance
OF the orchards is well contrasted with
the variety and freedom of growth in
the woodland; and the Photographic
effect OF the autumnal colors is indicated
by the foliage of group of white
blrches near the centre of the view, as
contrasted with the dark, unchanged
green of the orchards.

LincOIn's Substitute.

that General Fry, then provost marshal

President wanted a substitute to 60 to

nected with the Third Ward Draft Club,
the principal object of which was to se'
cure substitutes for members who might
be drafted. There lived in our ward a

reputation given to ministers sons, ana

killed during the Wilderness campaign
