A GOOD TIES T..

The friends Of Congressman
Reed of Maine we're very anxious
on the eve of the election in that
State. His conspicuous advocacy
of Protection made him a shining
mark for the Free Traders, who
spared no effort to defeat his reelec-
ton. His friends, with equal spirit.
rallied to his support. The contest
Attn acted attention throughout New
England.
The Boston Journal OF September
9Th had this note OF alarm: "Ot
all the Northern Representatives,
Reed is the one whom Cleveland,
Mills and the other Free Traders
hate most savagely." 1t expected
to see them putting in heap OF fine
work to defeat him. "But," con-
tinued the Journal, "he must so
back to Congress, and, With loyal
work by his supporters, he surely
will co." The fact that he was
reelected by an increased majority
of more than thousand votes, tells
the story. 1t is another lesson for
Free Traders, but only the begin

FOR PRESIDENT,
BENJAMIN HARRISON
or INDIANA.
FoR:vlcE PRESIDENT.
LEVI P. MORTON
OF NEW YORK.


The question OF irrigation is be-
ing actually discussed on the
streets of Carson as well as the
ranchers IN the county.
The APPEAL has several COM
munications on the subject which
raise objections to the APPEALS
plan on the ground that the State
and not the counties should assume
the inGebtness arising from the
building OF storage reservoirs.
This is not feasible plan under
the existing constitution which ex-
pressly prohibits State debt OF
over 900.
Just how far a county can go IN
debt for improvements does dot
seem to be definitely known as peo-
pie differ greatly on the subject.
One thing however is certain that
any bill pointing to the assumption
of a debt by the State would be
vetoed by the Governor as uncon-
stnutional, if it caused the total
debt to exceed 5000 900. The mar
ON therefore is very slim.
The APPEAL still believes that
the question can only be settled by
counties lying in the vicinity Of
natural water sheds, combining fol
the general good.
At the same time the next legs
lature should move in the direction
Of amending the constitution Sc
that in after years the State can
also assist in the water storage
scheme.
If Congress we're properly mem
orialized, help might possibly be
secured in that direction, and the
bill of Senator Stewart providing
by photographic surveys is the first
necessary step.
This IS not a matter which one
man OF a dozen can successfully
grapple with, there must be gen.
eral concert Of action and exchange
of ideas until the best possible
means can be devised.
The system adopted by Colorado
is in our opinion the best yet devised
and could be advantageously devised
dopted in this State.

BooTBLACKs FOR CHICAGO.

Two Adventurous Youths Who
Once Crossed the Continent.
Two "delegates' to the Republican
national convention left for Chicago last
night on the 9:52 coal train from the
Fifty-second street station of the Penn
sylvania railroad. They will represent
the Republican bootblacks of this city,
and have been Instructed to cast their
ballot for the choice of the convention.
sReading" and "Pittsburg' are the
names by which the delegates are
known to the bootblack fraternity.
These names were acquired through
their fame as travellers. both having
They go to Chicago not only to repre-
sent their party but to make money.
During political conventions the clubs
and delegates require great deal of
shoe-shining. They expect to do all the
shining for the Pennsylvania delegates.
Squire McMullen wanted Reading and
''Pittsburg" to go with the Randall
club to ST. Louis. but as they are of the
opposite political creed. they refused.
Both carry with them the same boxes
carried across the continent when they
made their last trip. These and their;
brushes have become famous among the
knights of the brush. They are liter
ally covered with foreign coins, which
are imbedded in the wood.
The boys visited Gloucester yesterday
and made quite lot of money, upon
which they claim they will subsist till
they arrive in Chicago. Considering
their mode of travel, they will not reach
their destination for week. if they are
not arrested in the meantime.-Phila-

There is no more fearless horsewoman
in town than she. MRS. Selmes is
A SPLENDID OUT-OF-DOOR WOMAN" p
is the enthusiastic verdict OF the gen.
tlemen who have enjoyed the privilege
of hunting, fishing or riding in her
company.
Mrs. Walter S. Morton is possibly the
only formidable rival Mrs. Selmes has
in her proficiency in Out-of-dOOr accom-
plishments.
Mrs. Morton is great lover of horses
and rides beautifully small sorrel of
heriown that has a dash of Arab blood
in it's veins.
/. Miss Katie Gordon is another excep-
tionaily graceful hOrsewcman. No
equestrian party is complete without
her. Mounted on her bay thorough
bred and dressed in an English habit,
she is one of the pictures that make
men wonder why girls do not live in the
saddle.
Miss Rachel Rice is naturally
statuesque, and displays this charac-
teristic to perfection ON horseback.
Mrs. SecOr is splendid rider, and
usually mounts dark sorrel Kentucky
horse.
Miss Stickney is fond of riding, her
enjoyment of the exercise resulting,
doubtless, from ner prOnclency In IL.
Mrs. Lane K. Stone could not help
being picturesque under any circum-
stances. 1t is law of her nature, and
one that is emphasized when she is
mounted OH the fine roam that she rides.
Mrs, Auerbach enjoys canter on the
avenue immensely, and is a graceful
equestrienne.
Mrs. Fred P. Wright's beautifully
moulded figure shows to great advantage
in sshabit," and her skillful manage
ment of her horse excites the admira-
ton of all who like to witness fine rid
ing.

like experience. None without it are
taken into the employ of the Mann
heimer Brothers. Special ability lies
chiefly in an intuitive perception of a
customers wishes and in cheerful,
pleasant way of supplying them. A
clerk is frequently called upon to teach
customer his own mind, an operation
that is. dangerous and requires as GER
tain Skill as the manufacture of bombs.
Ii the person suspects that he is being
coached the game is up.
Promotion with increase of salary is
based on the sales made. An account
is kept of every article and of its price
that is sold, and at the end of the year
the one whose book shows the largest
amount of sales, progresses accordingly.
The great difference between tweedle-
dee and tweedledum is carefully
marked among women clerks. Those
who receive IS per week and below are
cast as ''Shop girls" while those whose
nav ranges above thiS are distinguished
as ''Salesladies."
The largest salary received by women
who clerk in st. Paul is paid by Mann
heimer Bros. In addition to fifty girls
in the dressmaking department, this
firm employs twenty in the store, whose
wages vary from So to S25 per week.
Schultz, the milliner, besides ten
trimmers. has five salesladies who re-
ceive from IS to SIS per week.
Lyons employs eleven SalesladieS,

Some Information for Boys Who
Are Going to Camp Out This
Summer.
Chicago Tribune.
Boys always begin tos think about
camping-Out equipments as soon as
spring fairly sets in. The most i'm
portant thing to provide for such an ex-
pedition is tent, and as it costs good
deal of money to have one made to
order, perhaps the boys who intend to
spend a few days in the woods this
summer would like to know how to
make one themselves and at trifiing
cost.
Buy nine yards of good stout yard
wide, cotton cloth and cut into three
strips of three yards each. Sew these
strips together securely by overlapping,
and you will then have a piece three
yards square. Make solution of twelve
ounces of lime and FIVE ounces of alum
in three gallons of water and soak the
cotton in it for day. Rinse it in warm
rainwater and stretch in the sun
to dry. 1t will then be waterproof.
Having reached your campingOut
place, cut two poles eight feet long.
each with fork at one end. Sink the
other ends in the ground about foot
and beat the earth well to keep them
firmly in place. These poles should be
about eight feet apart. Now cut an
other pole about nine feet long and put
it on top of the other two, resting in the
forks. Cut two more poles ten feet long
for the sides of your frame, resting one
end of each pole on the cross pole and
the other end on the ground. Stretch
the canvas over the frame and tack it to
the poles. You can make the sides of
your tent weather-proof with boughs of
cedar and other trees.
This is the simplest and least expen-
sive tent you can have and will answer
your purpose fully. The interior of the
tent, however, would be a little more
roomy and comfortable if you would put
up second frame in the rear similar to
that in front, say two feet high, and
stretch the canvas over that and thence
to the ground.
Select sleeping ground to put your tent
ON, so that if it rains the water will
readily run off; and also dig little ditch
around the tent with an outlet leading
down the incline.A AS the front of the tent
will be Open-unless you choose to pro-
vide enough canvas to cOverit-yOu had
better place it with the front toward
the north or northwest, for storms, if
you have any, will probably come from
the south or southwest.
The rude hut described-fOr it is
little else-will no doubt seem a flimsy
shelter to those who have never Occu-
pied one, but for perfect rest and the
soundest of sound sleeping you will
find it superior to the best room in your
city house.

The Conscience Fund.

washington Letter.
Chief Clerk Youmans was speaking
this morning on the fidelity and honesty
of the employees of the government. He
alluded to the facts that the large sums
of money that passed through their
hands, and the opportunities afforded
them of doing wrong acts were very
great temptations. He was much elated
over the trifling figures that were
lost in times past when COM
pared with the large sums that might
have been taken." 1.-THE consciences of
men," said he. make them do their
duty" Excuse me, gentlemen, for in
terrupting you," said clerk. "Whatis
it?" asked the chief clerk. ''Here is a
letter containing $1,000 sent by some one
in Washington. The envelope bears
the Washington postmark. He states in
his letter that he owes this amount, and
he wants it to be placed in the con-
science fund" 'What is the amount of
the conscience fund now, as near as you
can judge?" asked the newsman of the
clerk. '.It is now between 100000 and
S4OO, ,OO0."

A Lincoln man who has just returned
from an extended tour in the country
recently struck small town in Mis-
souri, where the shanties composing the
metropolis were surrounded by numer-
Gus acres of land staked off into lots.
Before one of the magnificent trade
empOriumS sat an old man smoking a
corn-cob pipe and apparently plunged
in meditation. The Lincoln man as
Sumed an air of profound innocence
and accosted him, when this dialogue

A Dirty Wretch.
st. Louis Republican.

81. LOUIS hepupilCdi.
The obscene wretch who concocted
the filthy pamphlet about the occupants
of the White house, copies of which
were distributed here at the time of the
convention, seems to have been traced
out. The New York Times of Friday
says, editorially: 1.-THE person who
wrote the pamphlet, and who is now in
st. Louis distributing it, is William j.
Berry, reporter of the New York Tri-
bune. The conductors of that journal
have known of the dirty business in
which Berry is engaged for some time
past, and one of the heads of its count
ing-room, just before he went to st.
Louis, gave him money for his expenses
on the trip" 1t seems incredible that a
journal of the repute and standing of
the Tribune should be guilty of such in
famous conduct, but the charge is spe-
citic, and both Mr.. Berry and the Tri-
bune should be heard from with great
promptness and emphasis.

Paul Fechter, son of the well-known
actor who was once lessee of the
Lyceum theater in London, has just
met with his death under exceptionally
lamentable circumstances. He was
fencing with his brother-in-law, when
the latter, by an awkward movement,
touched the eye of M. Fechter, and the
foil, although there was button on its
point, penetrated to the brain. The ILL
fated young fellow fell to the ground,
bleeding profusely, and he never recov-

law has been in state of such anguish
since the tragic accident that he can
hardly give coherent account of the
affair. The deceased died much regret
ted by all who knew him, for he was q
promising young man.
