The Har,shorn Bottle.

The Puritan mothers went to meet
ing every Sabbath carrying sprigs of
fennel and caraway to rouse them
from their tendency to sleepiness
when the prosy old doc rinaire in the
pulpit began on his "teenthlies. I"
In later times of less simplicity their
fair descendants, borrowing the fash
ion from the daughters of the more
phlegmatic Knickerbockers, took
small bottles of salvolatile to their
sanctuaries for the same purpose, and
while the parson droned through the
customary assault upon the sins Of Hit
tites, Perizzites and Jebusites, they
kept themselves from "nid-nid-nod-
ing by frequent whiffs Of hartshorn.
And so it has come to pass that every
lady who wishes to escape the charge
of being victim of lethargy in reli-
gious assembly makes sure, before she
leaves her home, that she has on her
person her little bottle "keep
awake" Fair women now call them
vinaigrettes or by other fanciful
names, but the waking powers within
their crystals is the same old-fash-
ioned salt the grandmothers used

SWensOn's Sorghum sweets Must
not Make a Trust.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Attor-
ney-General has caused to be pre-
pared bill OF complaint, bringin 6
suit against Magnus Swenson, the
purpose being to cancel a sorghum
sugar patent taken out by him. The
document sets forth that Swenson' Is
discoveries were made while he was
in the employ Of the Government, re-
ceiving salary for conducting expert
ments in that line, and that the i'm
provement is of great public import
ance, and that the researches
were made by the Department
OF Agriculture to the end that this in
dustry should be made available and
remunerative to all citizens who de-
sire to engage therein; that the re-
spondent is demanding large sums Of
money for the use of this process SO
as to establish a monopoly and griev-
ously oppress the people upon invalid
patents. The Commissioner of Agri-
culture, in referring to the bill, says
that he is informed Trust is being
formed to control the manufacture OF
sorghum sugar by means of the Sven
son patent. He says the case of the
Government is very strong.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The next
outing which the President will have
will be trip to West Virginia. He
will probably go in the latter part Of
May and remain ten days or TWO
weeks. Everything will depend upon
the condition OF the public business at
that time. 1t is expected, however,
that National affairs will be in
such shape that he can
leave Washington without embarrass-
ment. Senator Kenna, Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue Miller, Colonel
Lamont, and possibly one or two
other gentlemen, will constitute the
remaining members of the Presiden-
tial party. The time will be occupied
in bass fishing, which in the more re-
mote counties of West Virginia, is
said to be particularly fine at that
season Of the year. Neither Mrs.
Cleveland nor Mrs. Lamont will ac-
company them.

employees Of any railroad company
all the passes or stolen tickets it was
possible to secure. These were to be
forwarded to him at least twice
weekly, with full reports as to the
source of supply and other par
ticulars. Agents were urged to pur-
chase from other brokers, paying full
value. or more, il necessary, for the
tickets that could be procured. Sal
aries were promised ranging from
$25 to 500 month.
Of course such salaries especially
were not to be sneezed at as these,
as the work would be very light, and
come in as part of their daily rou-
tine, so The so-called "Superinten-
dent" had no trouble in securing
agents wherever he wanted them. By
this means the matter came to the
knowledge of the Brokers' Associa-
ton, who were not long in discover
ing to their satisfaction that the
scheme was instituted for the purpose
of manufacturing evidence to be
used against the brokers before
the Virginia Legislature and before
Congress. 1t seems to have been the
calculation of those who Matched the
scheme that enough brokers could be
engaged to supply abundant evidence
that brokers, as class, were willing
tn accept tirkets from any source, so
long as they saw before them a pros
pect of making the scalping discount.
Such evidence would, of course, tend
to prejudice the brokers' case before
any Legislature and before Congress,
and it would be very difficult for the
Brokers' Association to rebut it.
In Illinois and Pennsylvania such a
law is on the statute, but is literally
a "dead letter." The brokers', how
ever, do not propose to let the matter
60 before Congress if they can help it,
and they think that if they can keep
the matter from going through the
Legislature in Virginia, that it will
fut quietus upon the railroad com.
panies in other States. They think
the bill will never get before Con-
gress, if they can keep it from passing
the Legislatures of more than half
dozen States at a time. Congress"

A copy Of the circular has been
placed before Mr. German, President
of the Board OF Trade, hoping that he
will take some action upon the matter,

resentative could not be made to

tives of all roads centering I'M this CITY
were present at to-day's meeting OF
the Brotherhood of Engineers, to take
action on the Burlington strike. A
long set Of resolutions were adopted
in which the various railways sup
posed to be secretly aiding the Bur
| lington, were denounced. 1t is de-
| clared that the engineers, rs an or
ganization, are justified in resprting to
extreme measures in overcoming this
outside influence, and it is further
recommended that if the trouble is
not settled within a reasonable
time, the Brotherhood men upon
lines connecting with the Burlington
system will resign on given
date and if this is not sufficient to gain
their just and reasonable demands
the entire organization Throughout
the United States, Canada and Mex
leo will join with the strikers in
universal demand for their acknowl-
edged rights. 1t was resolved that
the first step should not be taken be-
fore the 18th of this month and the
second not earlier than the Both, so
that the travelling and business public
may be Inconvenience as little as
possible. 1t is the unanimous senti-
ment of the engineers assembled that
each and every division of the Broth
erhood throughout the United States
should Immediately call special meet
ings to take action upon these resolu-
tions and notify the Grand Chief En-
gineer of their decision in the matter,
and also that the delegates hold them
selves in readiness to attend special
convention of the Grand International
Division of the Brotherhood of En-
gineers on short notice.
In consideration of the business
interest of the country sincere regret
is expressed at the necessity ofresort-
ing to these extreme measures. and
it is trusted that friends of the Bro h.
erhood will not be slow in placing the
responsibility where it belongs upon
the penurious and tyranical manage
ment Of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy system. One of the delegates
who was present at the meeting said:
"The prevailing sentiment is that
the Burlington trouble must be fought
out to a succe ssful termination at all
hazards, and although the engineers
regret resorting to such extreme
measures they are determined to
carry their point even if they have to
stop Ike turning Of every wheel in
the country"

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
How This Organization Views
the Engineers' Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, March A state
ment was prepared tonight by Ma
tional Organizer Eastman, of the
Knights of Labor. and endorsed by
the ReadingRailroad employees 'Execu-
tive Board, in which the old grounds
of complaint against the Brotherhood
of Engineers are gone over again.
The statement closes as follows !:
CATER positively enduring defeat on
these several occasions through the
instrumentality of the Brotherhood,
forbearance at last ceased to be a
virtue and the Knights adopted
the law of retaliation, and l authori.
tatively state that they will not
relinquish the position taken until Mr..
Arthur redresses the wrongs perpetra-
ted against them, by withdrawing
every Brotherhood man on. the Read
ing system, including the Boundbrook
t division. Edward Kent, of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Brotherhood,
was seen this evening, but would i'm
part no information.
Mr.. Delaney, a delegate from Chi
cago, says that instead OF finding that
200 Brotherhood men took places Of
strikers on the Reading road, they
found not more than two or three who
were in good standing in the Brother
hood.

) THE STRIKE EADS.
The Chicago, burlington and
Northern in Danger.

CHICAGO, March A report gained
currency late tonight that the en-
gineers and firemen of the Chicago,
Burlington and Northern Railway
would be called out to morrow. The
Burlington and Northern is new
line to St. Paul, and has gener-
ally been regarded as an offshoot or
ally of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, and it was said that the Vice.
President of the Chicago and North
ern was in the city this evening, and
had been formally notified of the pro-
posed strike. A solid basis for these re-
parts was very difficult to obtain at
Chicago. "We propose to fight it out on
the Burlington Railway" were the
words in which Grand Master Sar-
gent, of the Brotherhood of Locorno-
tive Fireman, put the sentiment
around the headquarters of the strik-
ers this evening. Both Mr.. Arthur
and Mr.. Sargent professed to be de-
cidedly opposed to calling out the en-
gineers and fremen on other Western
roads, and Mr.. Sargent was particu-
larly emphatic in stating that there
was no intention OF calling out other
roads on strike,- for the purpose OF
bringing the Burlington to time, and
he said: "We shall not go looking
for a pretext to pick a quarrel with
other lines, and call out their men.
The object OF calling together the
chairman of the various roads, is to
Investigate the report that there has
been assistance given the Burlington
by connecting or parallel lines. II
these reports are found to be true, /
will not say what may happen"
| THE ABOVE CONFIRMED.
CHICAGO, March 4.-The report
thai the engineers and firemen of the
Chicago, Burlington and Northern
Railway are ordered to strike, is as
certained to be true, and at midnight

1t was the result of a meet

men this afternoon, held at
Lacrosse. The notice was substantially
that if the Burlington and Northern
did not cease interchanging traffic
with the Burlington and Quincy be-
fore 7 P. M. Monday the engineers
would strike in a body. Vice-Presi-
dent Harris refused to be interyiewe
regarding the situation, but sent out
word to an Associated Press repre-
sentative that the interchange of
traffic would not cease. The COM
pany's message from Mr.. Harris
added "The company proposes to

How the SisterhOOd Of states
Grows Apace.


WASHINGTON, March 4.-Repre.
sentative Springer, on behalf Of the
majority Of the Committee on Terri
tories, has prepared report, which
he will report to the House, recom-
mending the passage of what is known
as the omnibus bill,' to enable
the people of Dakota, Montana, Wash
ington and New Mexico to form State
Governments and be admitted into
the Union. Dakota, it says, has an
area of 96,569, ,480 acres, and esti-
mated population in 1887 of 568,477.
and taxable property of the valuation
of $157 ,0S5, 1866. 1t is conceded that
in point OF population, agricultural and
mineral resources, and all other
matters which constitute a State,
Dakota is fully prepared for admis-
sion, and in fact, no other Territory
equally we'll fitted for Statehood has
heretofore failed of admission into the
Union. This failure is attributable to
the fact that all organized efforts here
tofore made in the Territory have had
division in view. Regret is expressed
that even now there are some we'll
disposed people in the Territory who
will insist that Dakota should not be
admitted into the Union as one State,
and who persist there should be no
admission until division is accomp-
lished. Attention is called to the
fact that %, ,847, lis acres comprising
more than one-fourth of the entire
area of the Territory is Indian reserva-
ton land and excluded from the juris-
diction of the proposed State. The
climate in the northern portion of the
Territory, and the character of the
lands west of the Missouri river are
also stated to be such as to preclude
the possibility of a dense population
in those regions. II, however, Indian
titles should hereafter be extin-
guished and the population become
so great as to make single State gov
ernment unwieldy, Congress may
provide for division into two States.
Montana has an area of 92,016,6
acres, population estimated at 175,-
900, and taxable property valuation
in 1886 of 500, ,076,S7l. Indian reser-
vations in the Territory comprise 90
574, GAS acres.
The area OF Washington is placed
at A, ,796, 100 acres, of which 4,1O7.-
55S are Indian reservation lands. The
population in November next is esti-
mated at 10000, and the property
estimated at about $56, 900 900, not in
cluding railroad property. Reference
is also made to its great mineral and
linn bnr rQanurcan
The area of New Mexico is placed
at 77,578, GAO acres, of which 1885,
225 is comprised within the Indian
reservations. The official census of
1885 showed population Of 1874, ,141,
and the taxable property in 1885
amounted to $50, 900, 900. The growth
OF the territory has been much re-
tarded by the unsettled condition Of
land titles.
The report concludes thus: The
four Territories whose admission iG
provided for in this bill have q popu-
lation. area and resources which en-
title them to admission into the Union.
1t should be the policy of Congress to
admit Territories into the Union
whenever these conditions are real
lied. The committee Therefore rec
ommend the passage of the bill ~
