THE UNSUITABLE WAVES.
Steadily Gnawing Their Way Into Long
Island,a Southern Coast,

Islands Southern Coast
The shores of the southern Long
Island coast are constantly changing.
Nowhere is this more manifest than at
Coney Island. Henry Freyenhagen.
one of the Oldest residents on the island.
says that within his memory fully a
mile Of the south and west shores Of
the island have been eaten up by the
inroads Of the sea.
The visitor to the low sandy beach OF
Coney Island at the present day can
form but little idea Of the appearance
Of Coney Island of 1850 or 1900,
Said Mr.. Freyenhagen: 'In no place
along the south shore have such extra
ordinary changes been made by the
ocean as here. When was boy, my
uncle, Court Lake, told me that in his
younger days he cut lot Of red cedar
posts, six inches in diameter, at
the butt, on part Of Coney Island
which is now two miles at sea under
the Atlantic ocean. He said that the
island had been cut away more than a
half in bis tina Anv of the old set
tiers here will tell you, and the State
SURVEYS will bear Them ont that the
Coney Island beach in the last century
was COMPOSED of high and extensive
sand hills whore now all j. fat beach
or else under water have cut grass
on part of the island lust west of the
noint from which the Briphton Beach
Hotel was recently moved. That
meadow il a half mile from the shore
under water now, and is also the site
of n little wood off West BRIGHTON.

COLLECTING BUTTERFLIES.
How to Catch. Pin and Mount the specf.
mems Worth Keeping.

1t does not require very extensive
outfit for collecting butterflies, the
necessary articles being net and a
cyanide bottle. The frame Of the
former may be obtained of a timer,
the hoop portion being about twelve
inches in diameter. The net is made
of cheese-cloth, or Swiss muslin. For
the cyanide bottle, get five or ten
cents worth Of potassium cyanide,
and drop in a few humps on the bottom
Of wide-nouthcd bottle or jar. Pour
on this enough plaster of Paris, mixed
with water. to eover the cyanide and
let the plaster dry, when it will form
a smooth floor, the deadly fumes from
which vii. soon kill any insect placed
upon it.
1t is unnecessary TO say that the but
terfies are caught in the net and trans
ferred to the bottle, where they soon
expire
Never let your bottle be crowded, as
che specimens will be injured by rub
bing against each other When they
are dead, take them out and fold them
IN little paper trianglcs, which is done
by taking square piece Of paper and
folding two Of II" opposite corners to-
gether, the butterfly rcposinr between
the folds. The edges are then turned

Evansville under the free trade tariff ex-
isting before the war. or does any man be-

question, as said, was be
fore all things one Of wages to the work

dress you as though you were all farmers
and were fearfully imposed upon By a nos
tile class of manufacturers living IN
distant states. That is a great mis-
|
manufacturing state and has within her
own territory all the elements needed for
manufacturing on the largest scale.
Great as are the products of her fields the
products of her shops with the multiplied
power of steam and machinery are equally
great. You have, therefore, in your own
state the perfect results of protection IN
bringing the consumer and the producer
close together. The farmer needs the
home market which the manufacture
ing towns afford and the
manufacturing towns must have the sup
plies furnished from the farms. Each IS
required by the other and both working
together make prosperous community of
people. One without the other viii never

Look at the other side of the picture and
see what a happy country we should have
if the free trader could enforce his theory
in buying every thing where he can
get it cheapest. We should .have
our wool from Australia, our wooden
and cotton goods from England.
our silks all from France. our copper from
Chill, our salt from Turks island, our coal
from Nova Scotia, our iron ore from Spain,
our steel rails from England, our locomo-
tives and steel machinery from Belgium.
1t would be free traders paradise to see
this condition of affairs, but protection is
a better and wiser policy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Acting Commits
sioner Anderson, of the general land Office,
received information of the conviction of
Charles Beach for subornation of perjury

body of railroad timber land in California.

from the government ana the attempt was
made TO do so by fraudulent entries. Some
three hundred and sixty such entries were
made, embracing 100 acres each. in which
it is claimed perjury and suboruation of
perjury was recklessly committed. OF
these entries many have been held for can
collation. and steps are being taken TO Sc
cure forfeiture to the government in the
other eases.

THE OUTCOME UNCERTAIN.
Chicago Strikers Weakening, With Show
Of Some StubbornnesS.

CHICAGO, Oct. BIN accordance with
the arrangement made between the strik-
ers and President Yerkes at last nights
conference, street car traffic was resumed
on the west side this morning and has con-
tinued throughout the day. A large
number of cars have been run on the
north side also, though by no means the
usual number. They were guarded by
the police as usual, but met with no oppo-
sition.
At II O'Clock in the forenoon. commit
tee representing the north side strikers,
called upon President Yerkers to
hear what proposition he would make
looking to settlement of the
trouble Mr. Yerkes said that the west
side men had not acted fairly in the mat
ter: that the understanding was that they
should return to work and await the re-
suit OF this mornings conference. Instead
of doing so they had gone to their meeting
place and had passed resolutions fixing an
ultimatum on a scale OF wages for the
north side men, declaring that if he did
not accept it they would renew the strike
on Sunday morning. In view OF these facts,
he asked the committee to go back TO the
strikers, state the case to them and after
consultation, return 10 him without an
ultimatum at 2:20 O'Clock p. IN. The COM
mittee We're not pleased with this turn of
affairs, but returned 10 their hall and laid
the matter before their fellow strikers.
After some discussion il was decided to
accede to Mr. Yerkes demand, and an
/ other committee was appointed, which
called on Mr.. Yerkes at o'clock this af-
ternoon. The session lasted over three
hours and was frUitleSS as 10 definite re-
suits At last a proposition WAS made by
President Nerkes, and IL made an agree
meur TO work the men during consecutive
hours and not as heretofore. Besides this
he offered to pay grip men 20}3 cents
for small cars, - cents for
/ large and . cents for regular
grip cars. he permitted further that the
men arrange their own schedule. In return
for this he insisted that all the new men
engaged must be retained, after which
vacancies would be filled by old men.
There were also number of the old men
who were obnoxious to him and they
would be discharged.
committee OF strikers refused the
proposition of wages and said they wanted
u ana - and % cents for gripmeu in the
order named by Yerkes. Most strenuous
objections were also made against the
retention OF new men in the strikers places
Touching the proposition for wages made
by the men. Yerkes informed the commit
tee that lie could not give a conclusive
answer as the stockholders would have 20
be consulted. He promised definite
answer tomorrow morning az 10 O'Clock
President Coyne, OF the west side en-
ployes association. was confident that no
conclusion would be reached BIZ the con-
ference and has called an ali night session
of the association. which will assemble n
midnight, and take action on the report OF

FOREIGN ADYICES.
THE BERLIN BUDGET.


copyrighted 1888 by New York Associated Press. ]
BERLIN, Oct. 13.-The congress of Ma
tionalists in session at Cologne have al
ready adopted a vote of censure of DR..
Mackenzie and the members Of the yari-
Gus Berlin institutes, clinical pathological
and physiological, and everybody associa-
ted with the medical profession condemn
the English physician. His accusations,
even ii true, are considered an outrage of
professional decorum.
The Geffecken trial moves slowly. The
prosecution have been baffied in their
search for the original diary, though they
have secured the copy from which the GET
fecken extracts were made. 1t is in the
handwriting of a person named kong, now
dead, who was an official of the court and
was for eighteen years in the service of the
then crown prince. Kong accompanied
the crown prince everywhere and often act
ed as his amanuenss. His widow has
three manuscript volumes of memoirs of
the crown prince written by the king, en-
bodying the passages from the diary pub
lished in the Deutsche Rundschau. The
inquiry hangs upon the question, does
Geffcken speak the truth when he says he
got the diary from Frederick with his per-
mission to publish it, or did he procure a
copy through the king or other per
sons belonging to Emperor Frederick
party? Judge Norchfeldi, of the
Berlin court, who has been
instructed from Leipsic to conduct the
inquiry, is trying to discover whether
Getfcken acted on this own responsibility
in publishing the diary or if he was
prompted to publish it. Though secrecy
is maintained everything known goes to
encourage Geffcken's friends on the hope
that the prosecution will be unable to
prove reasonable intent on the part of the
accused or completely in the plans Of
political personages.
