Kaiser Wilhelm is IN his seth year.
The German Prince Imperial is in his
54th year.
For the first time in the history of
the Connecticut Legislature that body
has committee on labor, and it is
having plenty of labor before it.
Four men in skiff tried to cross
the Ohio river at Evansville Saturday.
The water was full of ice cakes, which
capsized the the boat, and all four
were drowned.
Frank HI. Bowker, a drummer, was
arrested Saturday night, charged with
embezzling from the liquor firm of
Pitcher & Connors, of Boston. The
amount is $500, which he lost in gam
bling.
Oranges have already gone up from
$3.50 to $3.50, and even $3.50 box,
in consequence of the cold snap in
Florida. But the world does not de-
pend wholly upon Florida, and the
next cargo from the Mediterranean
will probably cause reaction.
Able analysts have determined, be-
yond doubt, that "oleo" is injurious
to health. First, it is indigestible
second; it is insoluble, when made
from animal fats; third, it is liable to
contain disease germs; fourth, I'M
healthful ingredients are used for the
sake of cheapness. "Oleo" must go.
1t takes from eighteen to twenty
five pounds of average milk to make
pound of butter. The richness of
milk varies greatly, not only with the
COW, but with the kind of food she
receives, and the time since she was
in fresh flow. A farrow COW gives
much richer milk than one bearing a
calf. Hence the anxiety of milk-men
to get new COWS where quantity, rath-
err than quality is the end desired.
Some 90 to church to weep, while
others 60 to sleep. Some go their
wives to please; their conscience 9TH
ers 60 to ease; some go to hear the
preacher; others to hear the solo
schreecher. Boys go to reconnoitre
girls 60 because they oughter. Many
90 for sage reflections precious few
to help collections. Some go to see
Johnny Morgan; others to hear the
bran new organ.
Science intends, during the next
few weeks to present its readers with
discussions of the urgent questions of
the day by some of our leading writ
ers and students of social science and
political economy. One of the princi-
pal objects in this discussion is to
compare the attitudes of the two
great schools of economic writer's
towards the practical questions of the
day, the labor question, the relation
of ethics to the principles which rule
in the conduct of business, etc.
The recent fearful disasters in the
coal mines of Pennsylvania and
Wales, from explosives, and the daily
chapters of accidents are not only
painful to read but humiliating to hu-
manity. With all our boosted wis
dom we are yet unable to provide
against accidents from the elements
that surround us and which are neces-
sary to our existence. We are apt to
dwell with emphasis on the retribu-
ton of the future, but we are con-
stantly paying penalty for our ignor-
ance or our carelessness, both in the
physical and m oral world of the pres
emit. A plank only, separates US from
the great deep, broken rail sends us
headlong into eternity; spark of
fire snuffs out our existence and gives
US a tomb in the bowels of the earth.
Nature executes for transgression of
her laws. Ignorance the evil,
knowledge the remedy"
A Washington dispatch of Jan. 81
SAYS Richard .. dement,, of Illinois,
surveyor-general of Utah, reached
here last Thursday, bringing with him
from his investigations of the land
office frauds, trunks full of documen-
tai proof and most remarkable story.
Mr.. Dement, claims to have secured
evidence which will fill all the jails of
Utah with officials and ex-officials.
He says that within the last ten years
there have been committed in Utah
the most astounding frauds, and his
discoveries not only cover the officials
in the Territory, but involve Senators,
members of Congress and former Off
Gals of the interior department. He
has proofs to show that nearly all the
public lands in Utah have been stolen,
either by the railroad companies OIL
the settlers; that about 80 per cent.
of the entries by Mormons have been
fraudulent, and about 25 per cent. Of
those that have been made by Gen
tiles are of the same character.
