Philadelphia's 100 Sheep

Philadelphia cast her solid delegation
of five votes against free wool tariff,
and it is fairly presumable that her five
experienced congressman meantto vote
for the best interests of their city.
Philadelphia has 100000 people and
$50 sheep. These $50 sheep probably
average six pounds clip, making the
Philadelphia annual output about 900
pounds, and the gross value of the wool
growth of the city is about 1915. A
repeal of the tariff tax of ten cents per
pound on raw wool, would infiict loss
of 500 upon the wool growers of one
million people.
The million people of Philadelphia
consume about $12, 600, 900, upon which
they now pay tariff tax of 6S per cent.
aggregating about $8, 100000.
The raw wool used by our woolen
mills is taxed about forty-one per cent
by our tariff laws, which adds over
twenty per cent. to the cost of woolens
of every consumer If wool was made
free, Philadelphia would lose 800 in the
price of her wool crop and gain twenty
per cent. reduction in the price of her
woolens.
A reduction of twenty per cent. in
the price of woolens would be So, 400, 900
year saved to the wooden consumers
of Philadelphia, while the loss on the
wool grown by her people would be 800;
or balance in favor of the people OF

SAVED BY A DREAM.
A Young Lady a, the Point of Death
Sees q Vision and is Favored With a
Supernatural Prescription ofAlco-
hoI, Wine and Whisky-she
Takes It and Is Cured.

FINDLAY, Aug. ia young and
beautiful daughter of Mr.. Henry Scar
foss, o prosperous farmer of Marion
township, had for a month past been
confined to her bed with a mysterious
disease, which baffied the skill of her
physician. Her body at times became
cold and green spots covered it all over,
the cause of which no one could tell,
nor did any know from what her ILL
ness sprung.
On Monday of last week the young
lady lost consciousness, and for thirty
six hours she lay in trance, oblivious
of the outside world, and save for the
warmth of her body it would have been
said that her spirit had flown to its
Maker. Tuesday evening, however,
her eyes opened, and she again became
conscious Of what was going on in the
great world about her. To the anxious
relatives who assembled by her bed
side, she related the details of vision
which appeared to her in her trance,
and made great impression upon her
mind.
In her vision she saw man holding
aloft buggy wheel, and he said to her:
"This is where you received your in-
jury.n The relatives then remembered
that short time before Miss Searfoss
was taken sick she jumped from buggy
and they understood that the wheel must
have struck her and caused serious inju-
ry. Continuing, the young lady said In
her vision she saw man bring bucket
of water, a sheet and three bottles, which
he said contained respectively wine,
whisky and alcohol. He wet the sheet
in the bucket of water and wrung it
out, then wrapped her in it,and gave her
of the contents of the three bottles. He
said unto her that if she followed this
course of treatment in three days she
would be we'll. If she did not do this,
then at o'clock on the morning of the
next day she would commence getting
worse; at "A o'clock in the afternoon she
would commence dying. and at 8
o'clock the following morning she
would be dead.
Upon hearing this wonderful tale,
the parents Immediately sent for the
attending physician and informed him
of their daughters dream, and asked
his advice. He pooh-poohed at the
story, and said it would never do to give
her the medicine dreamed of, as it
would surely make her worse, and al
though she strongly urged that the
vision be needed, the DOCTORS advice
was followed. The next morning,
shortly after seven o'clock, Miss Scar
foss began to grow rapidly worse. The
green spots reappeared, her body be-
came cold, and her friends became so
alarmed that they threw aside the ad-
vice of the physician, and ap-
plied the remedies prescribed in the
strange vision. She was wrapped In a
wet sheet and whisky and wine and al
cohol were given in alternate doses.
The effect of the treatment was soon
visible. The patient rapidly improved,
and continued improving SO fast that
on the morning of the following day
she was able to rise and dress herself,
and is now completely recovered.

Blaine's Audacity.

Mr.. Blaine is the most reckless auda-
cious politician OF the age. In his
theories he Is brilliant but erratic. In
his statements he is utterly regardless
of fact. .;.5 rf rf''
He had scarcely put his foot on his
native heath" when he produced that
well known chestnut of his which
did such good execution in the late
Presidential canvass. Here ID is: "The
savings Of the wage-workers of Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland, as said to
Massachusetts, gentleman, are not
nearly as great as lie tonight in the
savings banks of Massachusetts to the
credit of the wage-workers of that
small State.n -..9tr r3 s. y
This is Mr.. Blaine's statement. Now
for the facts: a't
Last year the total deposits in the
Massachusetts, savings banks were $291, =
l97, 800. Last year the total deposits in
the savings banks Of Great Britain and
Ireland, including postal banks, were
S572, ,676, ,29e. 10 7 w
Nor is this all. 1t must be borne in
mind that nearly, if not quite all the
banks of the united kingdom, except
the Bank of England, pay interest on
deposits, which is not the case with us.
So that virtually, to all intents aud
purposes, they are savings banks. It
has also been repeatedly shown through
parliamentary inquiry that, in Scot
land for instance, the larger proportion
of the commercial bank deposits con-
sist of sums ranging from $50 to $500 to
the credit of farm hands, fishermen,
mechanics and servants. OF such de-
posits the joint-stock banks (other than
savings) of Scotland hold $400, ,000, 900
and the savings banks $45, ,000, 900, in all
S445, ,000, 900, the great mass of which is
the savings of the middle and lower
classes of the country.
Mr.. Blaine, as presumably we'll
posted statesman, ought to know that
the increase IN the banking capital of
Great Britain in thirty years has been
$50 per cent. per head of population,
while during the same time in the
United States there has been decrease.
[See Muihalps Fifty Years Progress" VI
The total bank deposits of the United
States in 1882 --latest return) were ST.
902, 900, 900. The total bank deposits in
Great Britain and Ireland in 1887 were
So, ,522, ,676, ,290.
Meanwhile, we respectfully submit
to Mr.. Blaine this query: If savings
banks deposits are such wise indications
of property, how is it that the rich State
of Illinois. has but $l4,000,000 of such,
while Massachusetts has over $291 ,000,-
600, when wages in Illinois are much
higher than in Massachusetts, Chi

Offensive to Millions of Republicans

Mckinley, Butterworth and Boutelle
are reported to be spending most of
their time in the senate wing of the
capitol buttonholing the senators and
begging them or bluffing them to
abandon the preparation of the Repuh-
lican bill to reform certain features ~
the tariff. Mckinley & Co., have dom,
mischief enough already in foisting i'll
to the Republican platform q free
whisky plank which does not
represent or accord with Republican
sentiment and it is decidedly i'm
prudent in them to be laboring now to
prevent the senate from correcting the
blunder in the interest of the party.
Mckinley and his clique have enough
to do to care for their own records with
out attempting to take the Republican
senators under this tutelage. If the
Republican ticket is elected it will be in
spite of Mckinley and his reckless
hackers, and if defeated the response
bility will rest on the men who betray-
ed the Chicago convention into the

Most celluloid is made in France. A
roll of paper is slowly unwound and at
the same time is saturated with mix
ture of five parts of sulphuric and two
parts of nitric acid, which falls upon the
paper in fine spray. This changes
the cellulose of the paper into pyoxy-
line (gun cotton). The excess of the
acid having been expelled by pressure
the paper is washed with plenty of
water until all traces of acid have been
removed. It is then reduced to pulp,
and passes on to the bleaching trough.
1t is this gun cotton which gives it its
explosive nature. Most of the water
having been got rid of by means of a
strainer, it is mixed with 20 to 40 per
cent of its weight of camphor. A
second mixing and grinding follows.
This pulp is spread out on thin slabs,
which are squeezed in hydraulic press
until they are as dry as chips. Then
they are rolled up in heated rollers and
come out in elastic sheets. They are
from that point worked into almost
every conceivable form. One can get
celluIoid cuffs, collars, hair pins, shirt
fronts, cravats, penholders, brushes,
combs, inkstands, knife handles, jewell
ry and everything else almost that you
can imagine. In Paris there is room
completely furnished in celluloid. The
curtains, the door knobs, and even the
mating were made of this material.
To be sure, no matches were ever carried
there. Indeed it was never used. IL
was onlya curiosity aud the man who
owned 1T owned the factory where it
was made. These rooms will never be
popular. Few men even in this rapid
age, care about being blown into the
kingdom come in small fragments,
SCARED and scattered, that would be
the. fate of the man who let match fall
in &is room.-Er. .#@
