Might We All Go Naked?

have lived seven years in Colorado,
and have herded sheep in weather so
cold that the food l took out for lunch
froze hard in my pockets -thermome-
ter sometimes fifteen or twenty de-
grees below zero-and / used to wear
less clothing than do now, although
naturally sensitive to cold, owing to a
weak circulation. well remember a
half-witted man, Marvin by name
(who has since then committed a
dreadful crimc), who used to get. a
precarious living by hunting in the
mountains, and who, in the coldest
winter weather, went about in rags
practically unclothed. Another "old-
timer" who was teamster, invaria-
bly, went about in the seyerest weather
and most biting winds, with his coat
open and his chest perfectly naked and
exposed. Surely the street Arabs,
who are at once half-staryed and half
naked. prove that the power to resist
cold is merely matter of habit, and
that we might make ourselves ''ail
face if we liked, though doubtless a
modicum of clothing is comfortable,
if of doubtful sanitary value. | firm
ly believe that overcoats are the most
fruitful cause of winter colds, and that
the best and safest plan is to make lit
tie or no difference between summer
and winter clothing. w. N. Williams,

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.

Premier Macdonald upholds the Gov
ernment-Negotiation in Progress.
OTTAWA Ont N arch LIN the house Of
commons Friday night Premier Sir John A.
Macdonald answered Mr.. Blake, leader OF
the opposition, who had criticised the gov
ernment for what he styled its dereiction of
duty regarding the fisheries clauses of the
Washington treaty. The premier said that
after the experience of the Canadian COM
missions in 1874, when they went to Wash
ington, and on their knees and with bonded
head asked in vain for renewal of the
treaty and for the Americans to open their
markets to Canadians, tine government were
not disposed to kumiEtate themselves
again, and any proposal to do so would meet
with Indignation ON the part OF the people
of Canada However, the matter appeared
to look more favorabla than formerly, and
the Morrison bill now before congress it was
hoped would be adopted, and thus there
would be a free interchange of many OF the
natural products OF both countries and great
benefits would result to both.
In the senate, Mr. Scott, leader of the op-
position also cenSured the government fish
cries policy. 1t is said they should have
sent armed vessels to protect the fishing
grounds last July, instead of taking the
course they did Sir Alexander Campbell
repli ID that the government had done the
best they could to arrive at a satisfactory
arrangement by getting promise from the
president to mention the matter in his mes
sage to congress.
Negotiations had been in progress, mes
sengers having passed between the two cap
itals frequently, but he was not pre-
pared to state the exact position of af

Before You Can Work for the Fall
Brook Coal Company-Good Results.

Before You Can Work for the FaH
Brook Coal Company-Good Results.
ELMIRA, March The Fall Brook Coal
company, which employs over 600 men In
its mines and its railroads In the semi-bitu-
minous coal region of Tioga county, Penn
sylvania, conducts its business on the strict
est temperance principles In December,
1882, the company adopted rule that any
employe who was known TO use Intoxicating
drinks would be dismissed from the COM
pany's service The rule is known as "Rule
No l." Since then the company has dis
charged over 500 of its railroad hands and
nearly as many other employees for violating
the rule. At first the company re-employed
discharged men on satisfactory evidence that
they had reformed, but the trial was made
with but five men. Every one OF
them broke the rule the second time.
Then no excuse would recover dis
charged man his place. When an employe
is detected in using liquor or beer, the
money due him is placed in a blue envelope
and handed to him. The reeeipt of a blue
envelope is notice that the man is discharged,
and that under no circumstances can he
ever obtain employment of the company,
even as track repairer.
This strict enforcement of the rule has
forced some of the Oldest and best men III
the service of the company out of its en-
ploy, but rule No. l will not be varied from
to save the most valued man on the pay roll
A person applying for work at the Fan
Brook company must present certihcate
that he is a teetotaler, and must sign pledge
that he will continue TO abstain absolutely
from intoxicating drinks while in the
service of the company, whether on duty or
not. Since this rule was adopted by the
coal company the list of fatalities in its
mines and on its railroads has decreased 30
per cent and the employees all have money
ahead.

Gen. Lonrstreet,s Accounts.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1.-Gen. Long
street was in Atlanta Friday on business
connected with his accounts with the gov.
ernment Under date of Jan. 30, this year,
the government informed the general that
he is in debt to it $3.50, as United States
marshal, and that there is yet due him for
fees S12,673. The government can not
make one transaction of the two accounts,
nor can it pay anything to any one who is
in debt to the government until the debt is
first paid. Under this ruling Gen. Long
street will have to pay the government
s., ,320 before it will settle with him, and
then await its very indefinite pleasure for
the settlement of his bill The general does
not see the wisdom of such ruling, and he
has written the comptroller piece of his
mind on the decision. Next week the gen.
eral is going to Washington to make, If
possible, final settlement between himself
and the government.

BIGAMY AND MURDER.
AN ATRoclous DEED COMMITTED BY
A TEMPERANCE LECTURER.

he Murders His True Wife and Throws
the Body in the week.-Mrs.. Emma NAL
10y Implicated-Threats of .Lynching
the Red-Handed Tiend.
SPRINaFIELp, No, March The Gra-
ham bigamy case, which has been the ruling
sensation in this city for several weeks, has
had startling sequel in, the discovery OF
the body of Mrs. Sarah Graham, one of the
wives of the defendant, in an abandoned
well on the farm of Mrs Emma Malloy, the
well-known temperance agitator, seven miles
from town. The body was nude and in an
advanced state of decomposition, but no
doubt is entertained as to its identity. A
gun-shot wound was found In the right breast.
Mrs Graham's clothing was also found in
tho we'll The unfortunate woman diSap-
peared several months ago under circum-
stances which created the suspicion that she
had been foully delt with, and pointed
very strongly to Graham as her murderer.
The story is a remarkable one, and, in some
respects it is believed, without a precedent
in the criminal annals of the county. A
do2ea or more years ago, Sarah Gorham,
the daughter of a prosperous mechanic IN
Fort Wayne, Ind, was married to George
Graham, native. of that town, member
Cf q respectable family, but himself some
what notorious as a scapegrace. Two years
ago Graham abandoned his wife and drifted
to this city, where he speedily rose into
prominence as temperance agitator. He
made many speeches throughout western
Missouri, and in Kansas as well, and, while
engaged in these laudabls efforts to-reform
his fellowmen, met Mrs Malloy, the WELL
known temperance worker, and the two
prosecuted their labors jointly for a consider
bic period, delivering many addresses from
the same platforms. In the meantime Graham
welded the daughter of Mrs. Malloy and
took up his residence on her farm, near this
city, where the body of his first wife has
Just been found.
A few weeks since his wife learned that
Graham was in this city, and opened COM
mupication with him. Graham denied the
story OF his second marriage, and expressed
desire to become reconciled to his wife.
The latter at his request, left Fort Wayne
with their two children, anu met him at st.
Louis soae time last fall. She was never
seen alive again by any one who knew her
after her meeting with Graham at the
Union depot, st. Louis
He took the children to the farm in this
county, and soon afterward tiiSapr cared
About this time-the facts as to his former
marriage leaked out, and an indictment for
bigamy was returned against him. Graham
was traced by officers to st. Louis, thence
to Chicago, and finally to FCrt Wayne,
where they lost the scent \ few days
later he reappeared in this city, and was
placed in jail, where he has remained ever
since, pending his trial
Mrs. Emma Nalloy has disappeared with
cut saying goodbye to any one \ mob
from Broo&-ine, near the scsne Of the
tragedy have sworn to lynch Graham, and
they will undoubtedly accomplish their
purpose, although The authorities have taken
extra precautions to protect the prisoner.

NEW YORK, March 1.-Fiye safes, sup
posed to contain jewalry belonging to the
late firm of Kossuth Marx & Co., were

in them was piece of stale wedding cake
The firm failed in September, 1885, with
liabilities of over S6o0,0C0 and assets of
about S15O0O0 Attachments were gotten
out by creditors, who gave bonds to in
demnify the sheriff. Under-Sherif Aarons
levied on a large lot of jewelry, said to be
worth S41 900, but did not touch diamonds
worth about s7O,00a He was placed in
charge of the property, but was removed
short time ago. His successor wanted to
see the property, but the assignee denied the
new custodian the privilege. The custodian
thereupon had the safes broken open.
Aarons had been guarding that piece Of
wedding cake for jewelry worth $4,000.
There is no redress against the sheriff, for
his bondsmen have previously paid the
amount OF their liability in such cases.

Panic in the Cotton Exchange,

NEW YORK, March There was some
thing of panic in the cotton exchange
Friday afternoon. The law prices that had
already been reached-the lowest in ;l2 years
the comparatively small movement of the
crop, bad weather at the south and less de-
preston abroad, all failed to bring forward
buyers with any degree of spirit, while as
prices gave way, the pressure to sell under

selling for account of southern bankers who

heavy. They began buying at $3.50 for
May delivery and saw themselves sold out
