General Notes.

AT the National Prohibition Con-
vention in Indianapolis, last Thurs
day, Clinton B. Fiske, of New jersey,
was nominated for President, and
John A. Brooks, of Missouri, for Vice
President. The feature of the day
was the triumph of the woman's suf-
frage element of the Convention, and
the adoption of a plank in the plat.
form to that effect. The other
"planks" refer to the manufacture of
liquor. license, internal revenue,
polygamy, trusts, immigration, civil
service and public revenue. See
Platform in another place.
1t is said that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. is negotiating for the
purchase of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy road, and the two together
the Union Pacific road. The ostensi-
BILE object of these purchases is to
transcontinentalizet the Pennsylvania
system AS conservative paper as
the New York Times assumes the
paternity of this scheme, and at some
length gives reasons for it's accom-
plishment, together with an explana-
tion of its feasibility.
An unknown white man disguis-
ed as negro, who had set himself up
in Greene county, Ga, as the Saviour
and attracted a great following, was
hanged by his deluded victims last
Friday.
"A dispatch to the Chicago Tri-
bune says the Excelsior geyser in the
Yellowstone Park is in operation
This geyser is in the great middle
gey ser basin, close to Fire Hole
River. 1t is in the form of an i'm.
mense pit 800 feet in length and 200
feet wide, and the aperture through
which it discharges its volume of
water is nearly 200 feet in diameter
Its general appearance is that of a
huge boiling spring, and for many
years its true character was not sus-
pected. Its first eruption occurred
in 1880, when it revealed itself as q
stupendous geyser. The power of
its eruptions was almost incredible,
sending an immense column of water
to heights of from 100 to 300 feet,
and hurting with it rocks and bowl
ders of from l to 100 pounds in
weight. It's present eruption is said
to be repetition of that of 1880. 1t
is throwing it's volumes of water 300
feet into the air. and Fire Hole River
is reported to have risen two feet
from its rushing floods This is now
conceded to be the most powerful
geyser in existence.
Gov. Hill, of New York has signed
the bill substituting electricity for the
gallows. The new law will apply to
murders committed after Jan. l, 1889.
1t embodies the most radical reform
of the century in the mode of inf;ct-
ing the death penalty. New York
has taken the lead which is likely to
be followed by other States.

Europe now has twenty-five
crematories, ten of them added with
in the past year. while no less than
600 bodies have burned in Germany
aud 500 in Italy. The United States
have seven crematories, with six
building. Thus it seems, infers the
New York Observer, that prejudice
against cremation is fast abating.

VI MAKI INCUURI D JUG I
S. WIGLE, Salesman.

A saloonkeeper is no better than
his bartender. At least that is what
the Supreme Court says. The boss
may walk around .and put on style,
or spend his time 10 Europe for that
matter, but his personality is merged
in that of his bartender still. Adam
Ieigler, of Huntingdon, tried to work
the pious racket when his house was
pulled for selling liquor to persons Of
known Incorporate habits. His de-
fense was that the sales were made by
an employe, but be was promptly con-
victed. Zeigler wasn't satisfied with
this, but took the case to the Supreme
Court, which Las just affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court holding that
as there are no accessories in misde-
meanors-all persons concerned being
guilty as principals-Zeigler was just
as much to blame as the young man
who dished up the stuff.

Secretary.

Grass was tickled intensely by the
shower last Sunday afternoon. It did
not rain hard nor very long, but it was
one of those spring showers which find
Judgement in the soil, and never fail to
count.
Then, Monday evening, about $50,
while the stars were peeping peerlessly
from the western heavens, heavy rain
cloud stole along from the east, and sent
down quite a supply of the welcome iq-
uid.
It was about i'll o'clock on Tusday be-
fore it trained again. Hkept up the pour
for q couple Of hours or SO, and left the
ground in condition to command the
admiration of agriculturists, foresters,
horticulturists and-but why specialize!
Everybody was suited.
