Prcxentlon Of Evaporation.

A Colorado farmer recommends =
somewhat novel method Of preventing
the loss of water by evaporation from
open tanks or ponds. 1t consists in Civ
ing the surface Of the water a thin coat-
ing of oil, and was successfully adopted
by him during the unusual drought of
last summer. He demonstrates the Cor
rectness Of his theory by filing two ves-
sels Of equal size with the same depth Of
water and pouring a few drops of oil ON
the water Of one. In due course tho
water in the other vessel will entirely
evaporate, while the one that was oilei
shows no loss.-Chicago Times.

The Coming Sweep.

1t was the fate of Grover Cleveland
to be criticised by both parties, his own
and the opposition, upon the admistra
tive policy concerning the civil service.
Democrats complained that recognition
and reward were denied them contrary
to the established practice of all parties,
and many of them, pointing to the re-
tention of Pearson as postmaster of
New York, the most conspicuous Of
the postal offices ofthe country, declare
that his presence of exemplifying their
grievance explains Cleveland's defeat.
On the other hand, the Republican
party, through, all its organs, by all its
leaders, and IN the convention itself,
decreed the presidents use of the ap-
pointed power complete perversion of
his pledges of reform.
The truth lies between the extreme
of these statements. The president
gave full efficacy to the vaguely COM
pretended civil-service law, which re-
lates only to small class of govern
ment employees. AS opportunity pre-
sented or as il could decently be made
he appointed Democrats to office save
in some such case as that of Pearson
There was no instant sweep, nor was
there a complete surrender of the ex-
ecutive office in the matter of appoint
ments to legislative officers interested
merely in rewarding partlsans of them
selves whose usefulness in conventions
and elections had been demonstrated.
Had the president accepted the prece-
dent established by no less illustrious
predecessor than Abraham Lincoln
he would have SO used the appointing
power that within ninety days after
his election not a single opponent of his
party would have been found anywhere
in the civil service.
After March next opportunity will
he afforded the Republican critics of
President Cleveland to evince the de-
votian to civil-service REFORM which
they would have the country believe
actuates their attack upon Cleveland's
use of the power of appointment and
removal. Are they sincere? No camp
follower believes it. No conscientious
advocate of enlightened civil.service
methods can persuade himself OF 1t.
Indeed, tile management of the Repub-
lican administration will be inclined to
take warning by what privately they
define as party blunder perpetrated
bv Cleveland aud will Instantly pro-
ceed TO the parceling OF the spoils.

A Desperate Gang of Horse Thieves

A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas,
says "The people of Norton cOHn.
ty, on the Indian Territory line, are
very much excited over the attacks
of a gang of horse thieves from
mo Mans Land" Twelve des.
peradoes headed by the notorious
outlaw Bill Doty, came up from
the Territory Friday night for the
purpose of drying off all the
horses in the southern part Of the
county. They commenced with

The remainder of the gang then
visited every ranch in the county
and took possession of every horse
of any value. d When they reached
the farm of j mes l.. Horton, he
and his two sons showed fight, and
with three guns made 1t very warm
for the Doty crowd. The despera-
does wero too much for them, how
ever, and captured them and tied
them TO fence, where they were
found four hours later by friends.
The thieves secured 60 head of
hosres and started for the Okla
homa country. They had gone
but a short distance when they
were overtaken by a posse of Nor.

fight ensued, during which Geo.

Waylaid and Robbed of 81, 800.

WOODBURY., \. j., Nov. "a
daring highway robbery, which has
just come to light, was committed
near PaulsbOrO, about five miles
below this place, last Monday night,
the victim being John ii. Brown, a
retired wool merchant, formerly in
business on Front street, above
Market, Philadelphia, who was at.
tackled by four men, brutally beat
en-, and robbed of $1,000 in money
and securities. Three of Mr..
Browns assallsnts were arrested
and lodged in the county Jail here
last night, aud all but 600 of the
money was recovered by the sharp
work OF Detective Garrison, of
Swedesboro. The ringleader of the
gang escaped and took with him
the missing money. The men ar.
rested are Albertus Lock, Benjamin
Gill, Jr., and Wilmer Wilkinson, of
Paulsboro, who were given hear
ing aud committed by Justice Roe,
of that place. They confessed
their crime, and SAID they had been
planning a number of similar out
RACES. Their leader, they said,was
George Wright, a young stranger,
who worked in Cox Bros carriage
factory, with whom they became
acquainted. He planned the jobs,
they said, and did the principal
work, merely taking them along in
case assistance was needed.

A METHODIST MINISTER WHO MADE
MATRIMONY A BUSINESS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l-An in
vestigation begun by the Dolice of
this city into the career ola man
travelling nnder the name of
Marion d. Newman has brought to
light some very interesting things.
Newman was arrested on a charge
Of obtaining money under false
pretenses, brought by a woman
whom he had met as the result of
an advertisement, stating that
gentleman desired the acquaintance
of an intelligent lady with view
to matrimOny. The woman who
made the charge, after an inter.
view with Newman, refused TO
press it, but the police held him
under suspicion to await farther
investigation.
They have already found th at he
was ordained as Methodist mlD-
lister in Maine about a dozen years
ago, and that subsequently he was
transferred TO New Jersey. IL has
also been ascertained that under
the names of De Hughes, Noble
and st. CLAIR he has been married
to women in Philadelphia, Jackson,
Tenn, and indianapolis and in
Wisconsin. The police f1and in
Newman's room number of letters
from respectable bat foolish girls
and women of this city, filed with
expressions OF the most passionate
admiration for Newman. They
hope to get some of his former
wives TO testify against him and
have him convicted OF bigamy.

CEDAR CREEK.

The Democrats claim that their
reduced majority on Cedar Greek
was not caused by ally dlmunition
in their own vote but by the trans
fer of Republicans from other pre-
cipcts. Let us look at the facts in
the matter. The Democrats them
selves had some transfer votes. Ten
voters who at different times had
voted with The Republicans were
not present at this election.
The Democrats have cast 100
votes at this precinct. This year
there were eleven new registrations,
nine of which were Democrats and
two Republicans. Notwithstanding g
this, and their transfer votes, this
year they cast only % votes.
It requires a very poor mathema'
tician to figure out whether they
are gaming or losing.
The people OF Cedar Creek are
beginning to read and think for
themselves and are getting tired
of voting simply for old preiudices
and a name. The Republican vote
has steadily grown and will con-
tinue to grow and when the rising
generation, who will now have the
benefit Of the Blair bill, arrive at
voting age, there will be a still
greater increase.

A Dramatic Suicide.

Details of a shocking tragedy
have reached Mnufordsville, KY,
from Rowletts, a little village sew.
eral miles back in the country. On
Thursday afternoon last a party OF
young people went out nuttlng. In
the party were Henry Rowe and
Sallie LOgsden. Young Rowe and
Miss Logsden have been sweet.
hearts for a long time. While walk.
ing together young Rowe asked
Miss Logsden to name a day for
their wedding. She replied that
she would do so when he took his
last drink of liquor. Rowe said he
had done so and would prove il
then and there. He stepped of
two or three PAGES, pulled a revol.
yer from his pocket and sent a bull
let through his temple. Miss Logs
den fell to the ground in a swOon,
and when she recovered was a
ravlng maniac. She has been IN.
der medical care since, but as yet
shows no signs of recovery.
