General Sheridans Mother Dead,

N~ASA04 az 80 0~AAs
SOMERSET, Ohio June 12.-The mother of
General Sheridan died here to-day. Mrs.
Sheridan was born in County Cavan, Ire.
land, came to the United States in 1928 and
to Ohio in 1882. She was modest in ap-
pearance. Her stature was small and her
weight oflate did not exceed seventy pounds.
She lived in the home which the General
purchased for the family prior to the war.
His mother surely was provided with all
heart could wish of this worlds store. Re.
ports concerning the dangerous condition of
her son were studiously kept from her, but
she knew he was sick.
WASHINGTON, June IL, 9 p. m.-There is
no change in General Sheridan's condition.
His pulse is l04 to los and of fair volume
and tension. He coughs very little and the
respiration remains irregular. He takes
plenty of nourishment without indications
of failure of digestion and assimilation.
The General has not beeh informed of the
death of his mother.

Edison,s Flvinp Machine.

NEW YORK, June %7.-[Special to Tribune
Copyright, 1888, by the California Asso CT
ated Press. Thomas A. Edison is expert
menting upon a new electric flying machine
which he has been commissioned by the
Spanish Government to make for war pur-
poses. The system will be one of revolv-
ing fans to which power will be supplied by
means Of q wire connecting with an electric
dynamo on tie earth. The fans will not
only propel but lift the air ship. Then with
a properly equipped car an officer can ascend,
and take photographs and sketches of the
enemy's position. Edison is confident the
experiments will result successfully.

H. B. Reed, Montana agent for Bradstreet,
gives the following relative to the banking
and mercantile business of the territory:
Our July book for Montana will show 34a
towns. Number Of mercantile and manufac-
turing firms, 3,012, an increase of 215 in three
months. Their net worth above debts and
exemtion is $64, IA $50. Number of banks,
Sc; actual net worth, 1862 ,25O, an average
for the banks of over 10000, and for mer-
chants s,1893. This latter average is very
high, as in most states it will reach So, 600,
and in Dakota it is under ST, 600. There are
sixty-fve wholesale house in the territory
with a net worth of SIS 1905, 800. Some of them,
Of course, are both wholesale and retail.
These figures are obtained from the complete
individual report, and it is safe to say they
are the most acurate ever published.

Track Laid This Year.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The Railway Age in
its forthcoming issue will say that from Jan.
l to June l, 1888, 2,271 miles Of railway
track has been laid. This is . very large
amount to be reported so early in the year,
and indicates that the total for 1888 is we'll
nigh certain to exceed 5000 miles, with .
likelihood that it will reach 10000 miles
and a possibility that it may not fall short of
$4,000. Almost IL 900 miles of track were
laid in 1887, the year of greatest construc.
ton ever known.

The question of advocating the appoint
ment of q fifth Judge for Montana is receiving
attention from the press. The Judges, a.
though kept almost continually busy, have
not been able to clear their calendars, and
the legal business of the Territory is in
creasing. Under these circumstances the
effort to secure an additional Judge should
have earnest support. Much injury has al
ready resulted from delayed adjudication.

GENERAL SHER1DAN's Memoirs will soon
be published, and we trust there will be no

after much urging, on the same argument
That prevailed with General Grant-to pro-
vide for his family after his death. Mark
Twain and Mr.. Webster received the con-
sent of Sheridan, and having once agreed to
do it he entered actively upon the task and
worked unremittingly until it was COM
pleted. 1t is said General Grants memoirs
have already netted 100000.

The nomination of Thurman Is not con-
sidered q strong one in Ohio, which could
not be carried anyhow, and it has almost
certainly put Indiana out of the list of doubt
full States. Gray's rejection is felt keenly
by his friends, Notwithstanding all protesta'
tions. Thurman was put aside as s'too old
four years ago and denied even a cabinet po-
sitiop, but now, when he is past Is years, he
is put on to satisfy the Pacific coast delega'
tions, whose States are also unquestionably
Republican. -Four years ago he would have
been a better candida ate for the Presidency
than Cleveland, but was rejected; now,
when his life-work is done, he is put on to
the exclusion of the younger giants of de-
bateable States to satisfy a sentiment in
hopeless States. When its effects come to be
thought over the action of the st. Louis
Convention cannot be regarded as the best 1t
could have done.

TWO GREAT MEN e E
Charles Dickens and x. Beidler Observe the
Two-Headed Calf Together.
Avant Courier.

Avant Courier.
<. Beidler got his work In on Charles
Dickens In good shape. The day the latter
gentleman was to read at the Methodist
church in this city, he took = stroll down
Main street and his keen eye observed the
tw~o-headed calf At "The Hermitage" 1t so
happened that x. was in the vicinity and
stepped up and helped to observe it. MI.
Dickens gave expression to . number OF ex-
CARNATIONS on the queer freak of nature,
and turning to Mr.. Beidler said something
as to its being perfectly surprising. Mr..
Beidler said he didn't think so, there were
any number of the same kind of calves on
the prairie west of the city. This statement
Mr.. Dickens could hardly accept. 1t was
beyond his comprehension. He asked Mr..
Beidler how he accounted for the phenom.
ena. <. then gave as . reason for the exist
ence of the animals that the bunch grass
was so good that the cows gave more milk
than . calf with one head could do justice
to, aud that calves with two heads were ne
cessary to keep the cows udders from cak-
ing. There were one or W. listeners who
were nearly ready to break out in a hearty
laugh, but, q look from x. reminded them
of the dignity of the occasion. Mr.. Dickens
then took out his note book and made an
entry Of the strange sight he had seen in
this strangest Of all countries, and it is pre-
sumed a future number of his magazine will
contain an interesting reference to the calves
of Gallatin Valley.
Incidental to the above we wonder if
Charles Dickens Jr. knew how much the
exploits of x. Beidler had interested Charles
Dickens Sr. Riding up the Hudson sixteen
years ago, Mr.. Charles Nordhoff told US that
during Dickens visit to America he had run
across in the Nordhoff library . little paper
bound volume entitled 1.-THE Vigilantes OF
Montana" edited by Prof. Dimsdale, that be
was extremely interested in it and especially
in the adventures of "X. Beidler;;" that be
asked for the book that he might read it at
his leisure, and having done so Informed
Mr.. Nordhof, "That is the most interesting
book l ever read" He also expressed q de-
sire to visit the scenes of those adventures.
Now that SC many years after the great
genius of English fiction has been laid to
rest, his namesake son should come over and
get taken in on a double headed joke by one
his father would have doffeL his hat to as .
hero, is another evidence how closely the
sublime and the ridiculous may verge upon
each other. "X. Beidler' would have been
the first man in Montana Dickens would
have inquired for.

II is as good a platform as was ever adopted
by a convection; clear, straightforward, with
out bubble or doubledealing. What it de.
clares concerning promises redeemed is true;
what it promises the ticket guarantees.
-Ne,o York Herald.
In respect of its contents, the St. Louis
platform evinces the benefit resulting from
the watchful Christening which we have con-
tinually bestowed upon the free traders of
all ranks, in congress and ont. As q matter
of composition it is a clumsy, homogeneous,
sleazy piece of work; and as for principles,
the whole of it is contained in the first
twelve lines. The convention and Mr..
Cleveland have alike put their love of free
trade out to roost.-New York sam.
This time, thanks to the southern briga.
diers, the country owes a debt of gratitude,
probably to them exclusively, and not to the
President in this instance, for the explicit
commitment of the Democratic party to tie
cause of free trade. The Tribune.
TIE Democratic platform means nothing
but free trade and the issue should be fought
out on that.-Press.
Commends the platform from the beginning
to the end.-Star.
Commends the tariff part of the platform
and declares that the party could do nothing
else than recommend radical tariff platform.
The World, however, objects to the ommis-
sion of a civil serve plank from the platform.
World. :
The platform adopted by the Democratic
National Convention is notable and credita-
BILE in almost everything that it contains; it
is still more notable and utterly discredita-
BILE for its deliberate omission of any en-
dorsement of civil service reform. But it
was not meant to express the sanction and
approval Of the principle, and it will not for
a moment pass with civil service reformers
as an adequate platform utterance.-Times.
Upon the paramount issue ofthe campaign
it is explicit aud boldly declares that Presi-
dent Cleveland's last earnest message to
congress is the correct Interpretation of the
platform of 1884 upon the question of tariff
reduction. As that platform which the con-
vention reafirned has been interpreted in
different ways, it is we'll to have the authori-
tative decision of the National Convention
that the Presidents tariff reform is "the cor
rect interpretation'' of that political creed.
Il would have been q stupendous stultifca-
ton for the National Convention to nomi-
nate Mr.. Cleveland upon a platform facing
both ways on this vital issue, while the Pres
ident aud the Democratic party in congress
are moving together in one direction for tax
reduction through tariff reform.-World.

A most novel, convenient, and valuable
business calendar for 1888 Is the Colum bia
Bicycle Calendar and Stand, just issued by
the Pope Mfg. Co, of Boston, Mass. In
this calendar new departure has been
made, decidedly unique and different from
any previous attempt in calendar construc-
ton The calendar proper is in the form
of pad, containing 3GG leaves, one for
each day in the year. to be torn off daily
The leaves are ga by 2ai inches, and a
portion of each leaf is left blank for mem.
oranda, so arranged that the memorandum
blank for any coming day can be turned to
Immediately at any time. The pad rests
upon portable stand, and when placed
upon the desk or writing table the entire
surface of the date leaf is brought directly
and lett constantly, before the eye, furnish.
ing date and memoranda, impossible to be
overlooked. Upon each slip appear, as in
the previous Columbia calendars, quota
tons pertaining to cycling from leading
publications and prominent writers. The
are entirely new from previous
years calendars, and although there seems
to be but little when read from day to day,
altogether the items would. make a me-
umszed pamphlet, and, added TO the
collections of other years, a large volume
a collection of quotations which illustrates
the popularity ana universally of cycling
the world over.
