An Energetic Spouse.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 9.-Frank
Hoeffiin, who has at different times ap-
peared in an unenviable light before the
public is again in trouble with a charge of
bigamy hanging over him. Hoefflin, about
a year ago, left for Germany, for the os-
tensible purpose of securing fortune which
he claimed had been left him.
During his absence his wife died in child
birth. The case excited much attention at
the time, as the woman and family were
found to have been suffering for the neces-
sites Of life for some time prior to the
death of the former. Hoefflin was arrested
on his return for abandoning his family, but
the case was settled. The man then mar
ried again, but soon after left his second
wife. Recently rumor reached the latter
that he had married again. An examina-
ton of the records at the Capuchin convent
proved the truth of the rumor. Mrs.
Hoeffiin has consulted lawyer, and will
probably have her cratic spouse arrested
on charge of bigamy. In the meantime
she is endeayoring to secure a divorce.

BOSTON, April 9.-The mutiny which re-
suited in the burning of the Boston ship
Frank A. Thayer in the South Atlantic
ocean in Janury will be recalled as one Of
the bloodiest tragedies of the sea in recent
history. Seven of . the crew of the
ship reached this city to-day from
st. Helena. Their names are William st.
Clair of San Francisco, August Roper Of
Germany. John 4. Inman and Robert San
born of Sweden, Louis Ansen, 81. Wilson
and e. Henderson of Norway. They
state that Capt. Clash and Mate Holmes
were very abusive and that was the
undOubted cause of the mutiny. 1t was
common thing tor the noise of beating and
clubbing sailors to be heard in the night,
and this accounts for no notice being taken
of the mutiny in which two
men only were concerned until
hey had secured possession of the ship,
which they held for more than twenty-four
hours. The two MANILA men, who COM
mitted the murders, were frequently beaten
and it was the outrageous conduct inflicted
on them which led to the mutiny. The men
give detailed accounts of their brutal treat
ment and also story of the mutiny similar
to that which has been already printed.

An Injustice TO MIR. spOoner.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April 9.-This morning
New York paper contained story about
in essential particulars and does him great
injustice. Senator Spooner was the at
torney for the Sioux City d st. Paul
Railroad company before the supreme
court In the case recently argued to de-
termine certain rights in the public
lands. The senate recently passed bill
providing for the settlement in the courts
of the rival claims of the road named and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
road company. The story published this
morning is to the effect that Senator
Spooner not only represented the Sioux
City d st. Paul road before the
supreme court but also in the senate, and
made great efforts to attach to the bill
referred to an amendment that was OF
great interest to the Sioux City & st. Paul.
but did not succeed. The fact is that the
amendment the senator from Wisconsin Of
fered was adopted by very large majority.
and it was in the interest of the Milwaukee
road. The Milwaukee company did COM
plete its road within the time stipulated,
and it
DID NOT SEEM JUST
tnat the lands 1t had earned should be
thrown into litigation. The Sioux City 81
st. Paul never did complete its road, and
it was proper enough that its claims should
go to the courts. The Milwaukee road is a
rival of the line for which Mr.. Spooner has
tor some years been the attorney,
and it was the other party in the litigation
in which Mr.. Spooner represented the Sioux
City & st. Paul, SO that Mr.. Spooner, as
senator, was not even on the same side of
the case as Mr.. Sp0oner, the attorney.
Furthermore, Senator Mcmillan offered the
amendment which would have given the
Sioux City Il st. Paul its pro rate share of
land grant for two-thirds of a ten-mile sec
ton, which it did complete, and for which
it never got any land patented to it, because
the law provided that the land should be
certified to in ten-mile sections. Although
Mr.. Spooner had been the attorney of this
road, he did not believe that under the
law, it was entitled to this piece of land
claimed, and he voted against Senator Nc
Millan's amendment, which was defeated.

A PR1NCELY OFFER DECLINED.
Rogers COuldn't Bribe Hutchins tn
Publish His Poetry.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Mr. Stilson
Hutchins of the Washington Post appeared
before the telephone investigating commit
tee to-day, and being questioned by the
chairman as to his offer to buy Senator
vests Pan-Electric stock, he gave history
OF the transactions:
An advertisement had appeared in the coll
umns or his paper Offering to purchase Pan
Electric stock, and Senator Vest, who was i'll
ar the time, had sent witness q note asking
witness to come and see him. He had gone
10 the senate chamber and saw Senator Vest
in the lobby. The senator wanted to INQUIRE
whether he knew who was the author of the
advertisement in his paper. Witness did
not know, and after inquiry had failed to
mud out. He returned and told Senator Vest
that he could not find out, and the senator
said that he had certificate for 100 shares
Of Pau-Electric stock. He said the news
papers were making so much clamor about
1T that if he could find bona fide purchaser
for 1t he did not know but he would sell it.
In a
sPAsM OF GENEROSITY,
witness supposed, he told Senator Vest that
he would take the stock at the price the sena-
tor had paid for it. The senator made no
conclusive response at the time, but after
wards wrote to witness, thanking him for his
oner and stating that considering the clamor
to be unjust he had come to the conclusion
tnat ne would retain the stock. Witness had
the note, if the committee desired to embel-
lish the proceedings with it. He never had
share of the stock and knew nothing about
its value at the time he made the proposition.
He had once been offered considerable
amount of Pan-Electric stock to publish
Dr. Rogers poetry, but he had declined.
Laughter.
Mr.. Oates-Did you think the poetry was
as good as the stock?
Wttness-I thought both very bad. never
read the poetry. l once read ''Invocation I'd
JET Davis" by Rogers, and ment ally resolved
never to read another poem of his.
Mr.. Ranney-Was the stock sent to you as
an inducement to read the poetry?
Witness-I think his letter stated that the
stock was coming up in the market, that he
had written poetry which he would II ke to
have published, and that if would publish
it he would give me $4,000 in Pan-Electrio
stock.

MIND IN FARMlNG.-Thc idea generally
prevailed in the past, aud possibly more by
farmers than others, that for the business
of farming but little intellectual training
was necessary \ willingness to work on
in the old routine that has been transmitted
from the practices Of the past, was all that
could be safely relied on for success This
narrow view, born and kept alive by ignor-
anco only, is 4 mistaken fallacy of the past,
fast dying out, rather than the sentiment
of intelligent, present thought. The agri-
culture of to>day is not based on manual
labor alone The education of the mcutal
facu''"'s, as we'll as the training of the
hand to work skillrulIy, is recognized
as an essential in fitting for the life work
of the farm. Upon these, intelligence and
labor combined, rest the hope of progress
in agriculture. And yet it may be qucs-
toned if farmers fully appreciate the value
to their children Of Il home training and
education in the work and in the business
of the farm. Each vcsr there 90 out from
the farms young men and women to assume
the work of managing farms for them
selves. Are these young men aud women
as we'll educated aud trained in the work
and business affairs of tho farm as they,
the sons and daughters Of farmers, ought,
with their opportunities, to BE-? We fear
there is yet too much of indifference in pa.
rents in teaching their children the busis
ness of farming, rot only as trade, but
as profession. 1t ought to be kept con
stantly in view that the training and cdaca,
ton needed By the farmer can largely be
learned at home, and that the practical
knowledge thus gained will be of incs:-
mablc valuc-so much capital with which
to begin the business of farming.

DUCK HUNTING IN GEoRGIA.-Thcre
is in Sumter County, Ga, certain pond
or swamp of 100 acres or more. The wa-
ter is very shallow, and grass grows luxu-
riantly in it. Here horses and cattle love
to feed and ducks to congreSate in great
numbers. They do not fear the horses and
cattle, but arc very shy when man is
around. Jim Murray thought that by
hi!ching his horse to fat bottom boat he
could drive all over the swamp aud kill no
end of ducks. The plan worked we'll at
first. The horse drew the boat easily, but
when at the right time jim said whoa,
and jumped up to FIRE at the ducks, there
was hitch in the programme. The horse
stopped, but the boat didn't. 1t quietly
floatcd on aud banged against the horses
hind legs. The Eorsc jumped, and at that
j im took header backward into tho water,
is gun going twenty feet beyond him.
Just where the gun went is not certain.
1t has not been seen since. The horse and
the boat kept right on. When the horse
wanted to stop, the boat hit his legs and
urged him forward When the boat wan
ted to stop the horse didn't know it.
Finally boat and horse got thoroughly tan
gled up, and the latter went down. Then
Jim's brother Tom, who had been watch
ing the show from the solid land, wadcd
in and cut the horse loose, and at the same
time jim waded out. The boat was not
hurt in the least.

\ Doc THAT CONSULTED THE CLOCK
AN old farmer from Amboy, Oswego

dogs which appear in the Grand Opera
house this week, as they were taken i1to
the Candee House after the show last night.
L used to lave dogs, said the farmer,
which was the most knowing and intellect
ual dog you ever see. lie could tell about
what time it was by the clock just as well
as / could. lie would run into
the house in the afternoon without saying
word to anybody, and look up to the
clock and if it wasn't quarter past five he'd
60 off about his business Then he'd come
back again and the second it was quarter
past five he'd bark and start for til, COWS.
'Onc day my woman thought she'd see
if the dog could be fooled, and at l O'Clock
in the afternoon she turned the clock to ).
The dog came in, looked inditferently up
at the clock, stopped shook his head, and
then ran out to look at the sun. lie came
back again, squatted down and eyed that
clock as if he was waiting for a rat. When
the minute hand got around to quarter past
he started off as usual and before we could
stop him he had all them cows up in the
barn-yard l drove them back, and more
mortified person you never see than tn at
dog. He ran into the house, but the woman
had turned the hands back to the true time.
The dog Jumped up at the clock and acted
as if he wanted to tear it to pieces. lie
always seemed to distrust the dumb thing
