The Breeders Gazette Charges Him With
Delaying Necessary Legislation.
CHICAGO, July 10-In consequence of
the prospective adjournment of Congress
without considering the bill to authorize
the Bureau of Animal Industry to ex-
tirpate pleuro-pneumonia, the Breeders
Gazette, of this city, charges lion. William
ii. Hatch, the chairman of the House Com
mttee on Agriculture, with having Oh
structed its passage and delayed action on it
until too late to secure consideration. Hon.
ID. w. Smith, president of the National
Cattle Growers Association and the Horse
and Cattle Growers Association of America,
who was one of the committee maintained
at Washington to perfect and urge this
legislation, publishes card in the Breeders
Gazette of this week to the effect that no
open hostility was encountered in Wash
ingtOn, and that the committee
only failed in its mission through
the policy of delay adopted by the Chair
man of the House Committee OH Agrcul-
tire. The Gazette contends that the disap-
pointment among cattle men is very great
in consequence. 1t states that an apprO.
priatiOn was made in one of the apprOpri-
alton bills authorizing the purchase and
destruction of animals actually dis
eased, and to prevent the spread Of the
disease from one State to another, but that
this was not satisfactory, as there is no
authority given for compulsory inspection
or for preventing the spread of the disease
inside State, and no machinery or details
provided for undertaking the work Of OK
tirpatiOn.

Few Words About the Curry-Comb, the
Check Rein and tho Farm Mortgage.
Abolish the curry-comb. 1t is bar.
barous feature of the stable toilet. A
good brush or wisp of hay or straw
will as effectively remove dirt from the
coat of an animal and will not injure
the skin or hair, which can not be said
of the curry-comb. Rub the limbs OF
your horse with corn cob, and polish
off with cloeh, sponging off frequent
ly and drying carefully, and the ami
NAL will make you feel proud of its
bright, smooth coat. If you feel that
you must use curry-cOmb because
your father and grandfather used it,
just give the implement a good trial on
your own head for three successive
mornings. 1t may change your ideas
on the subject.
If you love your horses or other
stock, and allow them to move at will
around pasture lot, abolish the
barbed-wire fence.
Check reins should have no place
among your harness. If the horse was
OAOhOA oAO UhAOCOoothJ
Oh, your horse is an inveterate STUN
bier, isn't it: Then it should not be-
long to you, for no farmer ought to
own an unreliable horse.
Abolish the farm mortgage. 1t is
cancer that is eating the life out OF
you. Oh, yes, l know all about that
bad year and the other set-backs that
compelled you to raise the wind"
You do not seem to be able to ''get
ahead yet, eh? ''Draw in your horns"
a little; don't invest in that new car
riage; work more yourself instead Of
simply bossing the hired man; take the
greatest possible care of your tools and
implements, so as to make them last
longer; do not waste your means trying
to raise '2:1O' horses; work your farm
for all it is legitimately worth; study
the markets through the local papers,
SO as to sell your crops at the greatest
to yourself; watch the outga
of every cent; save whatever you can in
either labor or material; cut off every
item of personal expense,
and you will soon be in fair way to
abolish the hateful mortgagc.-F0rest,

CHEAP PRINTS,
Summer q Good Time for the MAKING
and Repairing of Bcd-Clothes.

Summer q Good Time for the Making
and Repairing Of Bed-Clothcs.
There are, at the present time,
quantities of callcoes sold for three
or five cents a yard that are quite
pretty. Those that are not very stiff
with starch will wear very well, and
pay for making up. while stiff webs
will crack, and aside from being hard
to sew, will not be at all durable.
Those that are stamped with bright
colors can, by being dipped in sailed
water, be made fast colOrs. All prints
ought to be washed quickly, and never
allowed to soak in suds, as that gives a
dull look The quicker they are washed,
rinsed, starched and dried, the nicer
they will look. l have seen calicoes
washed in this manner that retained
their beauty till completely worn out,
while dresses from the same web of cloth
were all faded out the first or second
time of washing. There is too much
labor in making q dress to have it
ruined by bad washing. 1t costs deal
more to make 3 garment, than the
money paid for the material itself.
1t is good time now. when prints
are so cheap, to make and repair bed
clothes 1t hardly pays to work up old
garments into bedding, when one can
buy new prints at such low prices.
Good comfOrtables and bed quilts are
4 real luxury, and summer is the time
to make item up; the days are long,
and it is not hard work to tie comfort
ables or quilts.
Three breadths of print three yards
long, are enough for outside covering.
and the same for lining, and four
punches of cotton batting, and bali
of cotton yarn to tie with The
eighteen yards Of print would be. al
five cents per yard, ninety cents; the
yarn eight cents, and the batting fifty
cents; so for two dollars one can make
a nice bed covering that will last TO
years, if properly taken care of--cor

WANTS THE EARTH.

The Accounting Officers of the Treasury
Fail to Understand the Why and Where
fore of District Attorney Bliss Excessive
Fee Bills in Addition to His Salary-A
Consequent Hitch.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Thc account
ing officers of the Treasury and the At
torney.G General locked horns yesterday
over another batch of fees claimed by
District Attorney Bliss, of st. Louis.
An account of sevcnty-four days SER
vices in attendance upon court at St.
Louis was the occasion of the disagree
ment. 1t came over from the Depart
ment of Justice approved and marked
"special," which is equivalent to an
urgent request for immediate &C.
ton. The auditor had heretofore disal-
lowed some of these accounts for per
diem attendance at St. Louis, be-
cause he knew by other accounts that
Mr. Bliss was somewhere else attending
to Government business. SO the first
step taken was to request Mr.. Bliss to
make affidavit that he was in actual and
necessary attendance upon court at st.
Louis during this time. This, of course,
Bliss refused to do, and this part of the
account. Notwithstanding it was approx
cd by the Department of Justice, was
suspended. The accounting officers are
in decidedly bad humor over Mr.. Bliss.
They say he seems to be as solid under
Mr.. Garland rs he was before the change
of administration. They say he has
been favored as no other official has
been. The favors began under the Re.
publican Administration and have con.
timed till the present time. He has
been sent all over the country to try
cases that belonged to other districts,
and for this has been paid enormous
fees and expenses. He recently sent in
a bill for eighty-three days services as
special attorney in prosecuting cases in
New York City and New Orleans. For
these services his charge was $40 per
Gay, or $500. The Attorney General
cut this bill to S2S per day or S2,324. 1t
should be borne in mind that this sum is
additional to the regular salary of
$4,000 per annum as DiStrict-At-
tOrney i'm the Eastern District of Mis-
souri,. 1t only adds to the disgust of the
Democratic accounting ocicer that Mr..
Bliss is fully sustained by the Attorney
General in his claims of these special and
regular fees. There is a suggestion in
the Endorsement of especial" on the &C.
count sent over from the Department of
Justice yesterday. Mr.. Bliss may be
closing up his accounts with view of
reSigning when the Government has
balanced all of his claims, and immediate
action may have been asked by Mr..
Garland with a view to have the way
opened as speedily as possible for the
appointment of a successor. If such is
the case, the auditors refusal to allow
will defeat the programme.

A Badly Criupled Town.

DEMING, N. NJ, July S.-A destructive
fire broke out here Monday night which
destroyed the principal business houses
of the town. How the fire originated is
still q mystery. The buildings being
principally of wood and the town having
inadequate water facilities, the flames
spread rapidly, and had almost uninter-
rupted sway, although the citizens strug.
gled heroically to save their property, and
finally succeeded in checking the fire be-
fore it reached the residence portion of
the town. Deming has a population of
about two thousand, and the loss will be
likely to cripple its growth for many
years to come.

the men took the child from its mother
and threw it to the bears. who

Evans, the hydrophobia patient to whom
the maidstone was applied at the Central
police station Thursday night died at the
city hospital at two O'Clock yesterday afsef.
noon. All night long the doomed fnail
walked the floor of tue detectives ofice,
occasionally lying down ON cot which had
been provided for him. The agony at the
thought of the horrible fate in store for him
was intensified by the thoughtless remarks
Of persons who had come to sec the mad
dogs victim. "How long will he liver
"How is he getting ons" aid other similar
questions were asked of Mr.. Dickson; who
had applied the maidstone, and each one
was fresh torture to the miserable man.
He knew that there was no hope and tried
to meet his fate like man, but try 40 ne
would he could not repfess a shtiddcr as
each question recalled the thought of the
horrible death awaiting him. At FIVE
O'Clock in the morning, Mr.. Dickson, who
had no hopes from the first, gave up the
case and Evans was removed to the city
hospital. Shortly after he arrived there he
was seized with CONFUSION and became
so violent that he was tied down to his bed.
In his frenzy he imagined that
he was attacked by mad dogs
and made frantic efforts to re-
pulse his imaginary foes. Then he thought
that there were two skunks In the room
and that their foul odOr was smotheriDg

unusual violence. The commissions were
attended by frothing at the mouth, dis
