IN the trial ot the anarchists at Chi. cago the prosecution has developed most damnable facts against them. The bomb-throwing at the haymarket was but the effervescence of turbulent
 spirits thoroughly organized, drilled and armed. Their intention was to overthrown the city government, and indulge in wholesale plunder and the destruction of property. This evil dence was extracted from pledged members of the organization, and shows that bloodshed and riot, with out sense or reason, was their only object. The trial still continues, wit nesses for the defense being on the stand. .

TILDEN DEAD.
The Democratic Partyin Mourn
 ing.
The Noble Statesman and Patriotic Coun.
 sellor, samuel J. Tilden, is no More.

The following telegram gives the sad story in detail:
 NEW YORK, August 4.-Hon. Sam uel J. Tilden died suddenly and un- expectedly at Greystone, at 9 o'clock this morning. It was due to failure of the heart to fulfill its functions, which was followed by an acute attack of diarrhea and vomiting. This makes four prominent figures of the democratic national convention ofISSo-Tilden, Hancock, Hendricks and Kelly--that have passed away m the last two years. It is estimated
 that he leaves some s2s 1000, 900 to be disposed of. MT. Tilden was chosen president in 1876, with Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, now deceased, as vice president. He was born at Lebanon, !, Columbia county, New York, Feb ruary 9, 1874. His ancestors were ot the Puritan stock, and were among the earliest settlers of Massachusetts. The second generation of Tildens set tied at New Lebanon, Conn. Col. Daniel Tilden, his father, was a staunch friend of Thomas Jefferson, and one of the founders of democracy. Samuel J, entered politics in the year IS3a, at the early age of IS years. He issued an "address to the people" on the subject of coalition against Jackson's administration, although supporting the regula. ticket party in New York. The authorship of the address was charged to Martin Van Buren. In IS33 he was admitted to the Yale University, and graduated with Evarts, Waite, Edmunds and Pierrepont. In IS4I he was admitted to the bar and opened an office in the city of New York. In IS44 he edited the forming News, the leading demo- cratic organ of the city, and acquired a national reputation by his articles on finance and the tariff. In IS4s he was chosen to a seat in the New York assembly, and the following year to the constitutional convention. In 1855 he was nominated by hls party as attorney general of the state, the issue being the adoption or rejection of the Maine liqour law. The demo. cratic ticket was defeated that year. In 1860 he was a delegate to the Baltimore convention. There he joined with the union democrats and assisted in placing the names of Douglas and Field in nomination for president and vice-president. He was delegate in 1864 to the Chicago convention that nominated Nc Clellan but openly opposed the resolutions which expressed lack of faith in the conduct of the war. In 1870 he took a prominent part in the war against the Tweed ring, which resulted in the complete disruption of that rich and powerful organization. He was elected governor of New York on the reform platform in 1874 over General Dix by over so.ooo majority.
 His sudden death has cast gloom of sadness over the entire city, and all democratic headquarters are draped in the deepest mourning.

Tilden is thus described by writer in the New York Star, just returned from visit to Greystone: Owing to an attack of paralysis Mr. 1'ilden is unable 10 close his lips, s,and his mouth is constantly open. His rlght hand, from the same cause, IS entirely use less, trembling all the time. He has not even power to raise it to his mouth. Ills left hand is but slightly affected by the stroke of paralysis, s,and he has partial use of it. In eating he uses his lett hand to hold up his lower jaw. Hii faithfu. companion, Miss Cinna Gould, who is sister of Henry Tilden, places to his mouth every particle of food that he eats. She generally puts it in his mouth with spoon, and he is enabled to swallow it by raising his lower jaw with his left hand and putting his head back,

Terrible Cholera Scenes.

Vienna Dispatch to the London Daily News
The cholera is slowly but firmly
taking its seat in the Austro- Hungari.
an monarchy. Energetic measures
have now been taken in Pola to pre-
vent its spreading further. In Buda.
Pesth there have been eight new cases.
Ten persons i'll of cholera are lying in
the barraek hospital, and several
more in private houses. One man
died half an hour after being taken ill.
But it is worst in Lie, village near
Agram. Out of 900 inhabitants nine
ty were taken i'll, twenty-eight hav-
ing died almost Immediately. The
uncultivated people distrust all
doctors and conceal their sick
brethren as long as they can.
When the great number of cases
made concealment impossible, the
doctor who came to look after them
was received with volleys of stones.
The people refuse to help each other.
Wherever cholera appears the house
is Immediately isolated. A commits
sion goes from house to house to as
certain the number of cases and to
procure help. In one house they dis
covered mother and daughter hall
naked on the bare floor, both writhing
in agonies. A little boy stood near
crying, but not attempting to seek
help. After opening another door in
the same house the commission found
the father, who had died of cholera,
on the cold hearth with the dead body
of his 20-year-old son flung over him.
1t is almost impossible to make the
people believe that the doctors are
not the originators of the epidemic.
The entire population is deep in mis-
cry, because the traffic with Fiume,
their only resource, has been inter
rupted.

| they will complete the process and be-
gin TO lay before cold weather comes
on Though the rule may not be in
| fallible, yet the hen or pullet that be-
gins to lay on the approach of winter
will generally make a good winter lay
er, while the one that does not com
mence before cold weather usually
postpones operations until spring.
| The hens intended for market, there
fore, should be those that have not
moulted, as moulting requires about
three months. The best food for the
moulting hen is oatmeal, with meat
and milk, whenever such can be pro-
cured Feed very little corn, as she
| should not be made very tat.
As the fall begins to pass over and
winter approaches by careful manage
naent the hens may be made to lay all
| winter and the beginning OF the winter
preparations should be made in the
| fall. In some sections the season isnot
very severe until January, and adj
vantage should be taken ofGhe warmer
weather. Lice must still be kept down
and the poultry house must be made
as comfortablea as possible. To get the
hens in good laying condition those
that are very iaS should be separated
from the Others and be fed upon oats
as the only food, compelling them to
hunt and scratch for the grain in cut
straw, leaves or some kind of litter as
the consequent exertion will reduce
them in flesh and keep them in health.
As soon as the hens begin to lay they
may be fed on plenty offood, provided
there is a variety, as the production OF
eggs will enable them to appropriateit
TO that purpose. Whenever a hen ceases
to lay, il even for few days, she be-
gins to fatten, and this must beguard-
ed against, as fat female, whether
quadruped or birds, is not very pro-
life.
If soft food Is given, it should con-
sist of ground oats three parts, shorts
one part and bran two parts, and if
the hens are laying well there should
be added one part OF cornmeal and
one OF ground meat. Bone-meal,
ground shells, and pure water should
always be where the fowls can have
access to them, and the soft food
should be seasoned with salt, scalded
and fed warm. No food will be neces.
sary then until night, when oats and
wheat should be given, unless in cold
weather, when corn may also be al
| lowed.

There are people who claim to read

AS the writing OF every nation is dis,

peculiarities, it is easy Tor an expert

large characteristics which are com.

which every letter is distinctly legible;
neither very much slanted forward
nor tilted backward; no letter very
much bigger than its neighbor, nor
with heads much above or tails much
below the letters not so distinguished;
the letters all having about the same
general uprightness and the lines true
to the edges OF the paper, neither tend
ing upward nor downward. Exact,

ty is not infrequent in certain business
hands, as if the writer's found a RELIEF
from the prosalc nature of their work
in giving flourishes to certain letters.
Firm, decided, downright men are apt
to bear on the pen while writing, and
to make their strokes hard and thick.
On the contrary, people who are not
sure OF themselves, and are lacking in
self-control, press unevenly, and with
anxious. looking, scratchy hands.
Ambitious people are apt to be over
worked; they are always in haste and
either forget to cross their It's or dot

the last few letters OF every word into

built. Linen and flax Mills are scat.

through the great York street mills,
tbs two factories of which cover eight
acres of ground, and which is'the larg-
est linen mill IN the world. saw
thousands of workmen OF all ages,
boys and girls, men and women, and
noted the various processes OF turning
fax into table clothes, prints, cur
tains and other kinds of linen goods.
The factory hands did not compare in
prosperity with those of a great
American shop. The majority OF the
girls and women and all of the boys
were barefooted, and their wages were
not half those received in America.
Their hours OF work we're from
$50 a. m. to p. m, with recess
Tor breakfast and dinner. This mill
sends great quantities of linen to
New York. 1t was making linen for
Troy shirts in one of its departments
when | visited it, and in another it
was turning out fancy patterns of lin
en- lawns for American seaside wear.
The climate of Ireland is especially
adapted to the making of linen. and
Mr.. Kennedy, the manager OF the
York street mills, tells me that though
Belgium is working hard to take the
place of Ireland as the centre of linen
manufacture, she will never be able to
do SO. The Belfast Irish linen factors
keep abreast with the times, and they
have the better climate. They are
continually improving their work,
and they spare no expense to get the
most improved machinery. Their
workmen are bred to the loom, and
they feel that there is no danger oil
their being superseded by any other
country OF the world. Ireland has
now made linen for over 600 years.
Until 1905 it was spun by hand.
Now machinery does everything, and
the machines are improving right

The Most Nutritious Food.

Beans are the most nutritious food,
says the New York Times. They con-
tain twenty-foui per cent. OF protein
in the shape of legumine-a substance
having the properties and very much
the same composition as ce.se a, and
of which very good cheese CAM .sde
and forty-tive per cent. of cirooaa-
ceous matters, against ten of protein
and sixty eight of carbonaceo Is mat
tiers in corn. Hence, with ,orn in
nearly equal quantities, tbs mixture
will make perfectly balanced food,
and therefore one that would befound
an antidote to the fatal hog cholera
which prevails where corn is the sole
pork-making food. When beans are
ground with corn, the meal is readily
eaten By all animals, and is especially
valuable for horses. When given to
cows the meal produces rich and
abundant milk. Hence discolored
beans can be most profitably used for
feeding, and should not be sent to
market to lower the price OF good
ones.
