A New Way to Raise Money.

How to coax money out of the pockets
of the masculines is problem that oc-
cupies the heads of the fair sex when
some charitable object is in contempla-
ton. The cry Is always for something
new, something out of the ordinary,
which will please either through its nov
city or because it appeals to sense of
the ludicrous. A recent and popular
feature of bazaars. which has been
copied from parties under the name of
rainbow" is the following: A Ger
tain number of ladies-presumabl
those noted for beauty, accomplish
ments, etc.-wear aprons of different
colors. These aprons are numbered.
Tickets with numbers corresponding are
sold to any one OF the sterner sex who
chooses to buy them, and then the pur-
chaser of each ticket goes hunting
around after the apron which bears the
number of his ticket. He is expected
to pay second price. for the apron,
which he can give back, to the pretty
wearer or take home as a present to
some one of the feminines there. Wheth-
er the possession of"'the' ticket corre-
spending to the apron gives the pur-
chaser any especial claim upon the fair
damsel herself deponent saith not.

His One Little Spree.

II never was drunk but once" said
one of them, 'and then made such a
durn fool of myself that never have
tasted liquor since. That was in Chi
cago in April. 1865, on the capture of
Richmond. | felt delighted at the
winding up of hostilities, and just cele-
brated as much and as fast as / could
I'm pretty fat man, now, but in those
days 1 was twice as solid. and looked
more like the conventional alderman.
A grand parade was one of the features
of the celebration. and l got into it,
and got right up in front, too.
Somebody put little log drum on
me, tied it about my neck so that it
hung down just in front of me. They
put drumsticks in my two hands and
started me along. l walked with the
procession, beating the little drum, and
acting in a very dignified manner,
which made my drum seem the more
absurd. Finally some of my friends
spied me. They never knew of my
drinking before and at first thought me
crazy. OF course they yanked me out Of
the procession. Since that time / have

A Baking Powder Trick.

The Chicago firm. under whose direc-
tions the band of women are testing
our baking powders has hit upon a very
cunning trick. The test as per-
formed by these ladies, is to mix the
baking powder they peddle and that
found IN the kitchen with water, separ-
ately, and call attention to the differ
ence of action. That found in the
kitchen, if pure, will foam up quickly
like champagne. The baking powder
they desire to prove superior will rise
slowly, foaming like new yeast, over
the top of the glass. This slower ac-
ton results from the presence of -four,
albumen or gum in their baking pow
der, and is evidence of adulteration.
10 prove this, fill glass half full of
water, mix together equal parts of flour
and some pure baking powder, pour
into the water and stir quickly. There
will be produced precisely the same
etfect-the slow, foaming action-pro-
duced by the tests with the adulterated
baking powder as made by our lady
missionaries from Chicago. The effect
will be even heightened by adding q
little lime, such as the baking powder
carried by the ladies and the other low
grade adulterated powders contain.
Of course, any statements made III
reference to other baking powders, by
parties practicing such tricks as these
for the purpose of deceiving the public
will be entitled TO no credit.

UUh CHICAUU MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO, October 9, 1886.

The leading grain markets are firmer
and wheat is nearly a cent higher
Corn opened weak but closed firmer.
Oats are steady but rye and barley con-
tinue dull and weak. Dairy produce
are in good demand at improved prices.
The general cattle market is rather dull
and prices rule to 10c. lower for COM
mon lots. There is fair demand for
all the good cattle offered at former
quotations, but the quality of the ami
mails is very poor. Hogs opened sc.
higher this morning but owing to large
arrivals and smaller demand the ad-
vance was lost. The sheep market is
active and unchanged.

Stewart leaves the latter the lead
ing favoritc with the party for the
United States Senatorship. In the
Nashoe battle Stewart showed
himself lively antagonist, what in
the parlance Of the ring might be
called two handed fighter Of the
hurricane school. He was obliged
10 make two fga,s: one in the pri-
maries and one in the Convention,
and if the Washoe episode is a
sample Of his work few will deny
that he Is Just the sort of a man to
lead rapid, aggressive fight IN the
Fall campaign. As an organizer,
commander and above all, slayer,
he shows TO prime advantage.
The voters love rushing, hot

make one will not lack for following

field in Washoe. and his following
admit that they were fairly beaten
and will stand ia ard elect the

There has, for some months past
been an uncertainty regarding the

divided as IL who they should
unite upon. This uncertainty nc
longer exists Stewart will hold

rsOND OF Tsi :. GREEN
BACK PARTY.

1t is fact not generally known,
Yet nevertheless fact, that the
Greeubaca party in this State is 20
more. The regular Greenback
nartv had its origin in this State
i've or six years agoand was found
cd By DR.. Hogan who started the
plaindealer as the party organ
Fer some time the party ; growth
was slow. Int In 1884 it doubled
It's growth by the Accession to its
ranks of Mr.. Beck of Reno. this
made TIVE IN the party and there
was talk Of nominating a regular
rreeabask ticket, butitfell through.
Tie party held together solidly
through all sorts Of ups and downs
until las: Wednesday, when the
Beck and Hogan wings had a dis
agreement. Hogan wanted to
swing the party 70. Powning and
Beck wanted to unite with the
Boardman faction for Stewart, in
case no regular greenback candi-
date presented himself. This
caused split and Hogan said IN a
chuckling voice, Beck, / have
counted good deal on you bat YOU
have fallen down to the Republican
party and its corporation idols.
Beck took the proffered hand and
in tones of husky emotion sobbed
out his last farewell An hour
later Hogan also deserted the party
and went over to the Democrats.
This left the party absolutely
wiped out in Nevada and it fearded
never to DC rcsurected. Its d.
vision however has been so even
that it will not disturb the balance
Of power in this State. The little
office where the Greenback party
Of Nevada incubated, fourished
and became extinct, is still to be
seen at Reno, and in due time
will be sent to the Virginia Pion-
GERS appropriately Tabled and filed
away In a cabinet.
