The chair was resumed at $50 o'clock,
and the items of the appropriation bill
for 1889 were proceeded with. The first
item taken into consideration was that
of 81, 800 to defray the expenses of the
commissioners appointed to settle the
boundary line between Virginia and
West Virginia.
Mr.. Heaton added little merriment
10 the otherwise somewhat dry discus
sion that followed by relating an incl
dent of bis boyhood when he went berry
hunting along what is now the line. An
amendment providing that not more
than one half OF the amount shall be paid
until a final report is made was finally
adopted and the item approved.
Mr.. Williams made motion to ap-
propriate $4,000 to pay arrearages due
under the old pension bill-that is, to all

This was opposed by Messrs. Wick

Neal Dow Says Prohibition Cannot Win
While the Republican Party Lives.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 1.-Gen. Neal
Dow, the father of temperance and
one of the leaders of the Prohibition
party, was seen by World corre-
spondent to-day and talked decid-
edly concerning the third party
and it's influence in politics in the
coming campaign.
"What do you think of the at
titude of the Republican leaders to-
wards Prohibition in this State ~
was asked.
81 know" replied the General,
''that the liquor-dealers of the West
sent notice to the Republican bosses
in Maine three or four years ago
that any injury inflicted upon the
liquor traffic in the State would be
revenged by them upon the Re.
publican party in Ohio, Michigan
Illinois and Minnesota, and that il
the only way we can account for
the failure of the Republicans to dc
anything here to materially cripple

ceed him, and the reason Is that
Mr.. Bodwell did not want to be
Governor, nor did he desire q reno
mination, so he was at liberty to
act conscientiously in the discharge
of his duty, But his successor, what
ever he may be, will be an office
seeker, and dependent upon the
bosses for nomination and election,
and he will be controlled by them,
as their policy in Maine, as in every
other State throughought the Un-
ion, is to protect the liquor tariffc.
The Republican party everywhere
is as thoroughly committed to the
liquor interest as the Democratic
Cleveland's message seems to me
to have given a chance for success
to the Republican party, for it af-
fords them an opportunity to argue
that protection Of home industry

sidential campaign, and in that
\ way mislead great many temper
ance men,"
"What will be the strength of the
Prohibition vote in the country at
the next election ?"
'Tt will be much increased, as our
numbers have been increasing very
rapidly"
"What is the prospect of the Re.
publicans in New York ?"
"I don't believe they can carry it.
The Prohibition vote will surely
increase there and I believe we
shall poll $4,000 votes"
"Where will the Prohibitionists
put in their work?"
"They will concentrate their eff
forts in New York, for there they
believe their labors will be the most
effective. They will also do some
thing in Ohio"
"Shall you take the stump?"
81 have been engaged to speak in
Western New York in August and
shall also appear on the stump in
the western portion of that State.
1 shall also make several speeches
in Maine"
"Who will be your Presidential
standardbearer" :"
"Gen. Fiske, of New Jersey, un-
doubtedly. He seems to be the most
available man. / do not believe he
would accept the candidacy, how
ever, but from a sense ofduty."
"What do you propose to do in
this State?"
We have decided to place a full
ticket in the field in Maine. Un.
doubtedly our vote would have
been greatly diminished had Gov.
Bodwell lived and been renominat-
ed, but the conditions are changed
now."
"Do you regard the approaching
campaign as an important one 2"

Professor Ramsay thinks that

a mercury plump-bob has lately
been made. 1t consists of q small

A very useful polishing powder
for metals and glass is made of
finely ground glass mixed with a
small portion Of dried soda ash.
1t has been discovered that wool

tion of glycerine can bear pro-
longed heat of 275 degrees without

Tannin has been discovered as

dipped into preparation ofalcohol

parchment. From this point it can
be modelled and cut into remark
ably tough sheets, entirely translu-
cent, and it can be dyed with al
most the whole outline colors, the
result being translucent sheet

DR.. G. A. White thinks he has
solved the mystery of what be-
comes of all the antlers that deer
shed every year. Although the
antlers when the deer is killed be-
fore they are removed will with
stand all weathers for years, it is
very rarely that pair that have
been shed are found. DIR. White
asserts that he has discovered a
small insect that attacks the ant
lers and within a short time after
they are shed destroys them by
burrowing through and through
them.
The use of the mosquito has been
at last discovered. Prof. Webster
says that Injurious organic mat
ter in the water, instead of de-
composing and poisoning people, is
changed into ''wiggle-tails,' which
in due time become mosquitoes, and
the winged matter flies away,
leaving the water purified to the
extent of their ability to remove
the impurities. If fish are kept in
the water they eat the 'wiggle-
tails and grow large enough to
serve as food for man. Thus the
poisonous ingredient of impure
water becomes healthful food.
Without mosquitoes most marshy
or swampy land would be danger

points as how to accomplish that emu
With the greatest success: "WheD you
see runaway coming do not try TO check
aim by rush from the opposite direc.
sion or the eide, for you will be imme'
distsly knocked fiat By the collision, but
instead prepare yourself for short run
with the horse. Measure with your eye
tie distance, and start tor the run while
he is yet some way eff, perhaps ten fact

You may oepend upon his keeping 8
straight line, fer reslly frightened horse
is half blind, and would not veer for 3
stesm engine. He will go straight ahead
until he smashes l1to something. So do
you get close TO the line on which he is
rushing, and as he passes you grab the
reins rear the saddle. Gather the reins
firmly, and then, leaning backward as YOU
rur, give them q powerful Yank. You
may be aole to brace yourself somewhat
as you give t5is ERIK, hslf sliding on your
feet. The strong jerk on the bits tells the
horse that he again has master, and pre-
pares him for the hual struggle. A step
or two forward sfter the first YsnE, do 1t
eeain. This is the finishing stroke. Il
never fails when given by q determined
man. The horse is OF lis launches. Keel

horse be the nostrils and the feat is sc
