The official vote of Ohio is in. Rob.
inson's plurality is 1851. The rest
Of Che State ticket ran several thou
sand ahead Of Robinson. The total
Prohibition vote is 28,657, gain over
last year Of only 603' AS there were
large number Of new converts dur
ing this year, the party does not seem
to have made phenomenal progress in
the State. But the same argument
holds good as to the old parties, the
total Republican vote falling off more
than $4,000, and the Democratic vote
falling off more than 10000. In Jack
son county the Prohibitionists polled
this year. in round numbers about
400 votes. Last year the vote was
159. The gain this year, then, is 241,
more than one-third Of the entire
gain made in the State The Repub-
licans have to thank the leaders of
the Prohibition party for the narrow
minded, bitter campaign which they
carried on. Candidly, we expected
them to poll from forty thousand to
fifty thousand votes in the State. AL
together the situation is healthy
one for Republicans, and if we act in
telligently in the future, the old party
is good for many campaigns and
many victories yet.

Baby's Horrible Death !!
A MOTHER COMPELLED To SEE HER
BABE BURN Up!

For some time Voris C'Bud") Stew
son, son Of John Stevison, has been
living upon Mr.. Dan. Crossin's place,
opposite the Brown School House,
about mile and a quarter north Of
town. He had family Of eight child
ren-we believe that is the number
up till Wednesday Of last week. On
that day Mrs Stevison went some dis
tance away from the house to the well,
after water, leaving the youngest child
but few weeks old-in the house.
For some reason she was gone con-
siderable length Of time. During her
absence the house took fire, and when
she hurried back and gave the alarm,
the house was far gone. The child
was in the kitchen, and the house was
full of smoke. Several Of the neigh
bors hurried to the spot, and bureau
was taken out Of the house, but no
rescue for the child was thought pos
sible. 1t does seem strange that In
thickly settled neighborhood, with
school in session right across the road,
child was permitted to burn to death,
yet such was the case. The house
was burned, and the charred body Of
the little one was fished from the burn
ing debris with pitchfork. The re-
mains were buried next day, the agon-
lied parents not having the heart to
look at the poor little scorched body.
1t is not known how the fire origina-
ted.
Mr.. Stevison is a good citizen,
hard-working man, but in poor circum-
stances, considering this terrible ca
lamity, which destroyed all his goods,
and Messrs. Joseph Humphfres and
Daniel Crossin called ON a number of
our citizens on Thursday, and con-
siderable amount in donations was Sc
cured, to help these people to begin
housekeeping again. The neighbors
in the country responded literally, and
did all that human sympathy could
do-but the terrible spectacle wit
messed on that day will never be eff
faced from the minds Of the young
parents this side of the grave.

1Ir. FrcuGe in q Sleeping Car.

The following sleeping-car incident
which occurred during author Froude' S
last visit to this country, is taken from his
published work. "Oceana: "Among
the friends who had come with us from
Auckland was an English gentleman,
Colonel--; high-bred, ,reined-perhaps
extra refned-whom the malice of fortune
played a trick upon. Happily, with his
other good qualities, he had keen sense
OF humor, and enjoyed, what befol him as
much us we did. At some Town where
we stopped late one night, two ladies had
been put into the carriage with us. We
were going to bed and paid no attention
70 them. The berth under Colonel-----
happened to be vacant: To one of these
new arrivals, without his being aware Of
it, this berth WAS Unsigned as sleeping
place. The lady gathered herself in, and
the same leather curtain fell over them
BOTH In the morning, the colonel feeling
about for his underclothes, dropped his
drawers by accident over the side of his
bed. From below he saw thrust Il small,
dainty and perfectly white hand, with a
diamond ring and delicate lace frill round
the wrist. 1t was holding up the article
in question, and brisk, ringing voice
said Guess this belongs to you.

The indications now are that there
will be an immense wheat crop in the
United States this year. We never saw
more favorable indications Of bountiful
harvest. 1t is true the crop is not yet
safe, but we are reasonably sure Of very
large yield. The inevitable result will
be low prices. and the sooner this fact is
recognized and acquiesced in the better.
Mr.. Anderson purchasing agent for the
Millers, Association, thinks that wheat
will be purchased in the Northwest this
fall for forty cents.a bushel. Discourage
ing and depressing as this may be, it is
better to contemplate such q contingency
and prepare for, is thrn to anticipate
more and he disappointed. 1t is not
the design Of this article to discuss causes
for such predictions. but only to warn
our readers not to expect too much
from wheat and to advise them to take
measures to utilize other resources in the
coming fall and winter. We would
suggest the proprety Of preparing to
meet the emergency by raising more
stock, seed down more land, sow more
corn fodder, raise more buckwheat,
beans, root crops etc. These things may

future time; the sooner a commencement

ACTORS IN BURNT CORK.
Two Noted Minstrels Speak on Dif-
ferenu Styles Of Fun.


The famous burnt-cork minstrels, Billv
Birch and Hughey Dougherty, are coin
ing money on the Pacific coast An Alta
reporter says that in San Francisco one
night last week Billy and Hughey
rehearsed old times after the play. A
crowd'of listeners stood around and one
Of them said q word for refined minstrelsy.
That started Billy Birch. He said: ?,
'"rhere amt any such thing. Ii you
initiate q 'nigger you've got to talk
slang, 'cause his kind Of people
are full of it, and if you put expensive
language into their mouths it won't go.
You've got to rastle with words, and
tangle 'em up to make it sound right:
That's our great hold, and when you've
got away from dialect then you want to
get off the end"
II suppose that different people, in
ditfenent parts of the country, want differ
ent styles Of fun, though, don't they,
Billy?"
''No, sir. If you catch people anywhere
with a minstrel show you catch 'em all
over: With dramas and tragedies, of
course, it's different. They may do we'll
ia one city and starve to death in another,
on account of the taste of the people; but
as for requiring differnt style of minstrel
joke for different localities, that is all
nonsense. The Bostonese are just the
same as the Pittsburgians or the
Chicagoers. or the Chinese, for that mat
ter; their culture hasn't anything to do
with it, and they will howl over an old
mule story just as they would over a joke
told in four-story words"
"You're right about that, William"
broke in Mr.. Dougherty, who is the worst
singer in the world, 'sbut there is great
difference in audiences. One night you
can pump stuff into 'em through straw
and they'll be wild. Next night Gatling
gun wouldn't raise smile. It's great to
find 'em when they feel like ball players
and just catch everything on the fly! but
when they're cold do feel SO depressed

the night, William, when you got riled at
a crowd that wouldn't laugh, and sug-
gestod prayer?"
II do for a fact; that was in New York,
wasn't it? Oh, that audience WAS d
paralyzer. We just pounded 'em with
gags and couldn't win a smile. Finally
said, sort of solemn like: Let rs pray
and you bet that fetched 'em. They didn't
catch on for minute; then they yelled,
and for the balance Of the evening they
were the most ;appreciative auditors ever
had. lis good scheme when you've
got q dull crowd to. pick out some man
that looks like a keynote, and just play at
him until you bring him down, then you'll

American HeraldrY.

Coats of arms and crests are breaking
out on the carriages and stationary Of
Americans in way that would disgust the
College Of Heralds. Some Of the combi =
nations are unique, and display more origi-
nality than knowledge Of heraldry. The
latter is a great and profound science to
which men give years of study Heralds
therefore, real heralds, we mean, would
be shocked and surprised to see on the
panels of some Americans coach the arms
OF France and England. Half of those
who have coats of arms made do not know
a baton from u quarter of the first, or the
difference between a leopard gules and an
ernine passant, or: The mania for crests
and coats of arms is English, we are told.
So be it; let us import, then, that other
English idea which publishes as impostors
those who display arms to which they
have no title Boston Transcript.

publid spirited and progressive enough
to invest his money in blooded cattle for

of which is thejealousy and ignorance of

entire upper portion was 'rotted away,
leaving only about four inches to support
the immense weight of fire prootjng and
plastering. A space ofsome sixteen feet
square was cleared away, and even then
but small part of the rottenness was
discovered, as the floor is badly sagged
in numerous places. The pieces taken
out in MANY places showed plainly that
much sappy lumber had been used in

The Beautiful Goods at streeter,s
Rnurh on Rats.

The Bridgeport News says: 'On Tuesday last there was a rat killing contest at the Driving Park, this city. The rats were ob- tained in New York city. The dogs were Nell, two-year-old terrier, part rat and part fox, of Waushara, Lyon county, Kansas, and Ned, g tTo-year-old dog terrier, owned in this city. The stakes were $50 side, each dog to take fifteen rats. Nell was called first and she finished her work in thirty three seconds. Nedskifled his fifteen rats In exactly ninery-two seconds. Some one hun dred and fifty sporting men from this city, New York, New Haven and elsewhere were present."
 There was novel rat killing scene in this city recently. At Church street restaurant in the kitchen and cellar large rats are nu- merous, as is usually the case in such @ place. Some of the cats in the place ire quently exhibit hesitation at sgoiRg for some of the big rodents. An Englishman only few months in this country and work ing at Winchester's, having an off day, said he didn't mind tackling the 'fyarmints. He went into the rear part where the rats swarm and soon had caught nine with his bare hands and throttled them. Spectators look ed on with surprise to see how rapidly he would snatch the rats out of existence and without much scratch. After killing eight more in few minutes, exhibiting the skill of a professional in the business he said he would try the t'critters' again next time he came in and then resumed an animat- ed debate he had been participating in on the respective merits of the English and American governments.

EASTERN ANTIQUITIES.
The Second Lecture by Editor Ward of the Independent Before the Yale The- nInOfeaI School.

The Second Lecture by Editor Ward of
 the Independent Before the Yale The.
 OlogicaI School.
 Rev. William Hayes Ward gave his second
 lecture in the Marquand chapel yesterday af-
 ternoon, speaking especially of the antiqui- ties of Assyria and Babylonia. His party explored Babylonia and ancient Chaldea as far as there was any use to go. Every an- cient ruin, with one or two exceptions, was visited. tsThe pure cussedness of the Turk 1 ish empire" forbade any excavations. There
 is no straight thing there in government, ag- | riculture or the country except the British | telegraph wires. The chief source of Greek l art is in the Hittites and back of them in | Babylonia, not in Egypt. Assyrian and | Babylonian writings are all historical ones. l MT. Ward exhibited tablets and barrels which
 dated back to 5000 years B. 0. The tablets
 from Assyria are trustworthy and give com plete histories of the reigns of kings. One l important library was obtained. The tablets | were used for literature and business, for | wills, receipts, etc. Also MT. Ward showed l about one hundred of the old cylinder seals, | some of them dating back to $500 B. c. 1 These were used in PhoenieIa, Babylonia and l among the Hittites. Later they gave way to | the convenient fiat seal, cone-shaped, great | many of which are used to-day. After these a great many ring-shaped seals came into l use. In closing he spoke of Bagdad and it's 1 importance. There to-day the Talmud is studied as religion. The lecture was very l interesting and profitable.
