Two of Henry Clay's Stories,

Henry Clsy, who was neat penman.
was quite an enthusiast on the subject OF
plain handwriting, and was in the habit
of telling story in point about a Gin.
cinnati grocery man who wanted a lot OF
cranberries, and thought be could get
them cheap in little Kentucky town.
To this end he wrote to customer at the
place requesting him to send 100 bushels
of cranberries per Simmons-the name
of his teamster. The writing was so bad
that the party to whom the note was
addressed could not make out the word
"cranberries" at all, but did conclude
that his correspondent wanted 100 BUSH
els of persimmons, which were at once
gathered and forwarded, much to the
disgust of the Cincinnati man. Another
of Mr.. Clay's stories was in regard to an
inebriated Colonel, in full regimentals,
who insisted on riding on the outside of
the stage with the driver. Presently he
fell off into the mud, and when be picked
himself up the following colloquy en-
sued:
"Well, driver, We had quite (hic)
turn over"
"No, we haven't turned over at all |;
you only fell off,"
Being assured by the passengers that
there bad been no turn over the tipsy
Colonel exclaimed:
"Well, if I had (hic) known that /
wouldn't have got out. ben. Berley

An Attack on Virgins.

ST. LOUIS, September 26.-The Eng
lish astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, IN
an article contributed to the Globe Demo.
crat, entitled "Wiggins's Prophecy"
says: SIT appears to me shameful, that
any man, even though he be not a stu
dent of science, and therefore fully aware
of the mischief he is doing, should spread
abroad predictions of coming disaster in
such q sort that foolish folks are likely to
be disturbed and terrified. Virgins, a
halfe.ducated and wholly unscientiGc
employe of the meteorological Office in
Ottowa, has long endeayored to acquire
cheap reputation by weather predictions
of that kind, which, of itself assures
students of science that the weather
prophet is either utterly ignorant or ex-
exceedingly knavish." After noting
several instances of the failures of for
mer predictions made by Virgins, MIR.
Proctor asserts that the former alleged
discovery of second moon is but rein
yention of an adopted discovery, and
sustains his statement by quotations from
Tice and NJ. Petit, of Marseilles, and
Blows tudt tu0 CA1eIOaSo Va oCSooN
lunar body similar to our visible moon,
is an impossibility. "Wiggins," con.
tinues the writer, "claims to- have pre-
dicted the earthquake of August 81, but
truly he has so continuously threatened
storms and earthquakes that no great
disturbance of any sort could steer clear
of his predictions. He now loudly pro.
claims. that on the 29th there will be an.
other great earthquake, one of the most
terrific sabterranean upheavals ever
known on this continent. He knows that
such prediction will attract attention for
q while to his name, that if no disturb.
ances should take place on the 29th, or
near enough to that date to seem like a
ful6llment of his prediction, people will
soon forget the failure of his prophecy,
and be as ready as ever to listen to him
again."
Mr.. Proctor thinks it is exceedingly
probable that no great earthquake will
occur in the Charleston region for many
years, possibly centuries.

An Unwelcomed Guest.

Our young friend Parker went round
the other evening to visit the two Miss
Smiths. After conversing with them
awhile, Miss Susan excused herself for q
while, and went upstairs. Presently
Parker thought he heard her coming, and
slipped behind the door, and suggested
that the other Miss Smith should tell
Miss Susan be had gone. But it wasn't
Susan; it was old Mr.. Smith in his slip.
pers. As he entered he looked around
and said TO his daughter:
cab, ha So Parker's gone. Good
riddance. I was just comm down to
keep my eye on him. I hope he hasn't
proposed to you. didn't wantany such
lantern jawed, ed.headed idiot around
here. He hasn't got the sense of a ruta-
baga turnip, or money enoug b to buy a
clean shirt. He gets none of my daugh:
ters. I'll shaka the life oat of him if I
catch him here again, mind me-"
Just as he concluded, Susan came
down, and not perceiying Parker, she
said:
"Thank goodness, he's gone. That
man is enough to provoke saint l was
awfully afraid he was going to stay and
spend the evening. Mary Jane, | hope
you didn't ask him to come again 7"
Then Parker didn't know whether to
stay there or bolt, while Mary Jane
looked as if she would like to drop into
the cellar. But Parker finally walked
out, and rushed to the entry, seized his
hat, shot down the front steps, and went
home meditating upon the emptiness OF
human happiness, and the uncertainty OF
Smiths. He has not called since, and
his life thus far. has been unmolested by
the head of the Smith family.

The Manufacture Of Hairpins.

For years the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hairpins,
and it is only within the last twenty
years that the goods have been produced
in this country to any extent. The ma.
chinery used is of a delicate and intricate
character, as the prices at which pins are
sold necessitates the most rapid and
cheapest process, which can only be
secured by automatic machines. The
wire is made expressly for the purpose,
and put up in large coils, which are
placed on reels, and the end of the wire
placed in clamp, which carries it to the
machine while Strengthening it; from
there it runs in another machine, which
cuts, bends, and, by delicate and in
stautaneous process, sharpens the points.
Running at full speed, these machines
will turn out 120 hairpins every minute.
To economize it is necessary to keep
them working night and day. The diff.
cult part of the work is the enamelling,
which is done by dipping in q prepara-
ton and baking in an oven. Here is
where the most constant and careful at
tention is required, as the pin must be
perfectly smooth and the enamel have q
perfect polish. The slightest particles of
dust cause in1perfections and roughness,
which is Objectionable.

The strike and the Mills.

The effect of the strike upon the grain
and flour market is variOusly estimated, but
the general opinion is that the worst is
over. Twelve mills were running yeSter-
day. with a capacity of Is. 450 barrels and
the output will nearly reach that figure If
none of the mills are compelled to shut
down for the want of wheat. Appearances
indicate an early resumption OF operations
in the milling district. The Market Record
of last evening says of the situation:
The -four market has improved considera-
bly, in tone with very large demand at old
figures. Millers are asking more money for
their product and some of them are getting
moderate advance. Bran and shorts are very
firm, owing to the scarcity, it being difficult
10 buy even at outside figures to-day.
The Northwestern Miller remarks as fol-
lows upon the strike, as affecting grain in
tereStS:
1t is safe to say that so far as effects were
concerned this was the most notable strike
OH record when we remember that only about
200 men were concerned. 1t is causing an
extra increase of about 100000 bushels per
day in the visible supply OF wheat factor
liable to make difference OF cent or more
in prices, and this difference repre2ents
millions of dollars of speculative cash. in this
country and abroad. This single factor ex-
erts its influence alike upon the Dakota
farmer. the Chicago Spectator, the Hindoo
ryot, the Russian agricuturist and the wheat
growers of South America and Australia, for
while the cable may not mention the strike
itself in these far-off countries, it carries the
market quotations of wheat which have been
inhue iced by it, and which in turn influence
the distant markets.
Ose of the worst FEATURES of the strike is the
considerable waste of water resulting from
the idleness of the mills when every indica-
ton points to there being shortage Of power
during the winter. Millers felt the import
ance OF taking advantage of the good stage
OF water while it lasted. The idleness on the
part OF the Touring mills, however, mas given
the sawmillS golden opportunity, and they
have not been slow TO improve it.

A FAMOUS ORGANIZATION.
Opening To-Day OF a Convention
of Celebrated Women.

opening OsDay u
Of Celebrated Women.
There will assemble in Minneapolis this
morning as notable gathering of women
as the world ever saw. No organization of
the softer sex ever reached the proportions
attained by the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of the World. which will hold
its opening session in the Casino to-day.
There are already in the city most of the
prominent lady temperance workers of the
United States and some from abroad Dis
tinguished among the latter is Mrs.
Margaret Bright-LucaS, of London,
sister of Hon. John Bright, NJ. P, and
president of the Worlds Women'S Christian
Temperance union. She arrived yesterday
direct from England, and is accompanied
by Mrs. Blakey, of Yorkshire, and Miss
Impey, of SomersetShire, Eng, both dele
gates to the convention. The names OF
prominent national members including that
of Miss Francis E. Willard, have
already been given. The conven-
ton will open this morning with all of
the preliminary business accomplished, the
work of the joint committees having been
practically concluded last evening. The
Casino has been deliberately fitted up and
conveniently bestowed. as the delegates
will spend there the better part of the next
five days. To-day's programme consists of
reception of the worlds delegate and pre-
sentation Of reports of officers. A few
papers will be read in the afternoon and in
the evening a formal address of well
came will be delivered by Gov.
Hubbard. On Saturday the joint commit
tees, executive and state. will report the
plan of work for the ensuing year, and as
there are many proposed changes from The
existing plan, there will doubtless be con-
siderable discussion. Sunday will witness
no session of the convention. though
special exercises will be held at the hall
and at several of the churches.

SIiiIHangs Fire.

The cOopers' strike, which has seemed to
be on the verge of a settlement for several
days past, still continues. The proposition
to pay Is cents for handmade barrels from
poles, 10 cents for machine-made barrels
from poles and Z cents for machine-made
barrels from hoops was yesterday signed by
the North Star and the Sixth street shops,
and it is likely the others will follow. The
shop managers do not regard this PROPOSE
ton with favor, however, claiming they
cannot pay these prices unless the mills
that are now paying 81 and 80 cents will
pay 81 cents for barrels. The contract
committee was instructed to visit the man
ayers of the different shops and urge them
to sign the proposition. 1t was suggested
that the committee should also visit the
mllers and urge them to pay 81 cents, but
a motion to that effect was voted down. 1t
was agreed to allow trimmers to go to work
at So. so where needed on present stock.

DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS.
Woman Suffragists will Petition
The LesiSiafNre ard Congress-.


It was formally decided by the Woman's
Suffrage convention of Minnesota to make
a fight before the next Legislature for the
submission of an amendment giving women
the right to vote. 1t is the opinion of sew
eraI jurists that a change in the organic
law of the state is not necessary, and that
an act of the legislature would be sufficient
to accomplish the end, inaSmuch as the
constitution does not say men, but ''peo-
pie" in giving the right of suffrage. A
formal petition will be presented to the
legislature. and it will include plea for
the changing of the law by increasing from
10 to IS years, the age at which
girls can consent to sexual inter-
course A petition will also be addressed
to congress, asking national legislation
giving to women the right Of suffrage.
The day was largely taken up with report
and routine business. While it was shown
there was a largely increased interest in the
subject of equal rights, the reports stated
that finances were low and money badly
needed for literature and other purposes.
The committee on nominations reported and
the following officers were chosen: Presi-
dent, Mrs. DR.. Ripley; vice president, Mrs.
l.. Ii. Carpenter; corresponding secretary,
MIS-. Oiilualli IecoIuliS Secretary, MIS-. NJ,
A. Dorset; treasurer, Mrs. Ida A. Butler;
executive committee, n. II. Henrup, G. W.
Dorset, Mrs. A. T. Anderson, Mrs. r. S.
Smith, Miss Emery. One vice president was
chosen from each of the senatorial districts
After passing vote of thanks to the edi-
tors of the state for assistance in the good
cause the business of the session came to
an end, and the body listened to number of
addresses by prominent speakers. During
the day and evening many of the olsen
gagged delegates to the w. C. 7. U. were
present.
