WORTHY or SUCCESS.
The Central Christian Advocat

The Central Christian Advocate
says:
The New York Mail and Exs
press is trying the experiment of
producing a clean secular afternoon
newspaper, in which the details
of crime and immortality are ex-
cluded; paper that one may read
in his family without blushing. 1t
proposes to impart to its pages "a
spirit of godliness-a paper in
which a high religious sentiment
Is regarded as of paramount impor.
lance" 1t looks as if this new ven
ture on this line would succeed.
The following incident which it re.
lates is something which tells how
the current is turning;
A gentleman called at the office
some weeks ago and said:

Fine Pears.

Albany News and Advertiser.
Mr.. B. F. Wilder has gathered
from the beautiful LeConte pear
orchard on his elegant suburban
farm, some of the finest pears we
have yet seen. He favored this
ofhce with a sample, which were,
indeed, large, tempting and lusci>
GUS. They averaged 8 ounces in
weight, or little over a half pound
each, They were as shapely as is
possible, ana altogether heightened
our appreciation of this fruit. Mr.
Wilder said that in preserving
them, he could not compress more
than three into quart jar.
This fruit attains its perfect ms
turlty ID this climate, and in the
next few years there will be a great
many acres bearing in Dougherty
county. The question will be
what shall we do with them p
The News and Advertiser advises
that a canning company be formed
to change the form OF this transient
uainty OF a season into one OF the
staple commodities of trade. Evap>
orators would pay in curing the
pear crop Of this section, too. The
News and Advertiser was told,yes-
terday, by the representative of a
New York grocery firm, that while
bushel of green pears dried out 8
pounds yet the dried product was
worth $40. That would paw bet
ter than shipping them, and con-
signing them to the tender mer
cles OF commission merchants.

Seminole Indians Green Corn Dance

Okeechobee items, by "Specta-
tor in the Orlando, Fla, Record:
The Indians are having the largest
green corn dance they have had in
twenty years, and representatives
of all the tribes are at it. They
have a ring around their pole
about ten inches deep. Saturday
night, or full moon, is the night
they dance all night. 1t Is very
interesting to those that never saw
it to see the harmony in running
around the circle, and the women
throwing the ball at the pole in
the circle aud the men catching in
their bags, that are made around
a bent stick which has bow about
four inches in diameter, with a
cross in the lower side, with the
slnew of a beast. A party tried to
photograph the dance, but they
thought it witchery, or something
wrong, and would not hear to such
a thing. l suppose this is the big
dance they spoke of some time
since, as all of Chipco's, or Tala,
huska's tribe is there, which i,
unusual, as they are the old ITALIA,
hassee tribe.

Intellect Skill and Good Sc Sc, WINS for

Brain is the thing toplough into

thrift, industry, and an adaptation
of means to ends, 1t very often
happens that men who succeed in
merchandising prosper at farming,
when applying their executive tall

men make money naturally at any
thing they undertake, because they
are equipped for success. Some
men fail at everything, because
they either cannot or do not OBJ

best market for all he can raise a

population is great and manutac

same mysterious Kings Daughters.
whose emblem is ever the tiny cross
OF silver engraved will the initials
|. II. N, and tied W tn the purple
bow.
Who are these royal daughters
of the King? What is their mis-
SION? What is the Specification of
the silver symbol they wear and
the potency o the mystic motto,
in His Nance"
In January, 1886 a circle Of ten
ladies, consisting OF Mrs. Margaret
Botton.e, Miss Hamerselev, Miss
Dickinson, Mrs, Theodore Irving
Mrs. Payson, Mrs. Cortland de
Peyster Field, Mrs Ruggles, Miss
Schenck and Miss Libby, met in
answer to Miss Bottome's invita-
ton to discuss and arrange some
plan which should unite all Chris
tan women in one grand sisterhood
Of service. Adopting the system
of Edward E. Hale's "Ten Time.
One" clubs, they constituted them
selves Central Ten" around
which should crystalize other tens
of workers, not assuming any au,
thority or responsibility over them,
bat Simply to form a nucleus
around which they might cluster,
and from which might radiate en-
enlargement, advice and guidance.
OF the various names proposed for
the order that of the Kings Dauah-
tiers, suggested by Mrs, Irving, was
most favorably received, and final
ly adopted; the badge of the socie-
ty was selected in the small silver
cross tied with the royal color; the
watcEword chosen was the Gin His
Name" OF the Apostles of old, and
the notices of action selected were:
"Look forward and not back"
"Look out and not in
"Look up and not down."
LEND a hand"
The society as organized had no
constitution and no code of laws
save the one general regulation that
whenever any reasonable request
shoulG be made "In His Name" il
should be granted without question
or delay.
As for the kind of work accom-
/ Plished by this remarkable sister
hood, ii is too varied and extensive
to be accorded in detail. There are
Tens that visit the sick. Tens that
supply the HOSPITALS and homes
with flowers, Tens that support for.
elgn missionaries, Tens that sing
and Tens that sew, Tens that en-
dow beds in hospitals, Tens that
, provide pleasant country homes for
deserving poor, and Tens that sim
ply "bridle their tongue" and zen.
deavor to live in love and charity
with men" all ''in His name"
The Kings Daughters are found
In greater numbers in the cities and
larger towns than in the rural dis
tricts, and in the vest and south
they are more abundant than in the
east, owing to the previous estab-
lishment Of Edward H. Hale's Ten
Times One Clubs. The rapid
growth, harmonious, ceaslcss activ.
ity, varied and unique charities,
and sympathetic cooperation of
this society are said to be unpara.l-
ed in the history of any organiza-
ton known Within two years it
has girdled the globe with the CLEAN
OF Its silver crosses "In His Name. !"

NAMES OF
CANDIDATES.
EVENING SESSION.

The evening session, which was called to or
der at 7l5, proved q disappointment to those
who had gone expecting to see candidate
nominated, as the session passed OF without
any further attempt at balloting.
The event of the evening was the formal
withdrawal in person of Chaunoey M. Depew
from the contest. In doing so he promised the
hearty support OF himself and the Empire State
to whoever might be the nominee OF the con-
Vcntion.
General Hastings, OF Pennsylvania, then
moved an adjournment until ten o'clock Satur-
day morning, which, on call OF the roll by
States, was adopted By vote OF 525 ayes to 2S2
nays. The Chair therefore declared the con-
vention adjourned
The audience were not to be dis rosed OF thus
easily, and at once began shouts for Ingersoll,
and that gentleman, after some urging, stepped
forward and addressed the convention, his re-
marks showing him to be in favor Of ticket
composed of Gresham and Hawley.
Mr. Charles r. Pope, of St. Louis, the veter-
an actor, was then introduced, and recited
"Sherdans Ride" in manner that elected en-
thusiastic applause.
Fred Douglass was called for and responded
in a brief speech, and then introduced Hon.
Thos. S. Fitch. of California who en-
deavored to head OFF the impression mads on
the audience by Colonel Ingersoll, but the audi
ence was surfeited, the sergeant alarms was
getting impatient and Mr.. Fitch concluded to
quit, which he did, the lights were put out ard
the audience dispersed.

Rats and lncendiarism.

Fire Marshal Whitcomb, of Boston,
has been experimenting with rats and
matches, shut up together in cage,
in order to ascertain whether they were
likely to cause fires or not. In the alb
sence of other known causes, frequent
fires have been ascribed to their
agency, while at the same time many
underwriters affected to scott at the
idea. The question may, however, now
be considered as settled. The very first
night that Marshal Whitcomb's rats
were left alone with the matches,
four fires were caused, and not a day
passed while the experiment was being
tried that fires were not set in this way.
The rats were well fed, but they
seemed to find something in the phos-
phorus that they liked. TWAS noticed
that only the phosphorus ends were
gnawed, and in nearly every instance
the matches were dragged away from
the spot where they had been laid

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands q test of fifty
years among discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
net with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress OF
BRANDRErH's PILLS, which, after "a trial OF
over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier
sonic and Alternative ever introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and tina
BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all that il
claimed for them, is conclusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's Pulls are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain OF
sugar-coated.

Healthful Effect of Onions.

1t is pity that onions have the odor
that Ethey do, for their dietetic and
medicinal qualities are excellent. Boil
ed and roasted onions are a good
specific for cold on the chest, a cough,
cold and clogging of the bronchial
tubes. A medical writer recommends
the eating of young, raw onions by
children three or four times a week,
and of boiled and roasted onions when
they get too strong to be eaten raw.
Another writer says that during I'M
healthy seasons, when diphtheria and
like contagious diseases prevail, onions
ought to be eaten in the spring of the
year at least once a week" The effect
of onions is invigorating and prophy-
Tactic in the extreme, and one ply
stefan goes so far as to say that the
eating of onions has actually prevented
children from having diphtheria and
ecarlatina. Good HouSekcepiRq.

a NEW OLIVER TWIST.
The Strange story Told by n Fourteen
Year-Oid Chicago Boy,

The Strange story Told by n Fourteen
Year-OId Chicago Boy.
According to st. Joseph (Mo) special
o veritable Oliver Twist was discovered
in that city the other day in Alexander
Mckay, small-sized fourteen year old
boy, halling from Chicago. The Pagan in
the case, as described by Mckay, is a
large, black boarded man, the chief of q
band OF robbers whose headquarters are
in some den in the southern part of the
city. Tho boys story is that in Lincoln
Park, Chicago he was invited to drink
from q bottle by the man before men
toned He did so and became uncon-
sclous When he regained his senses he
found himself in a box-car with the man
on a moving train. They stopped at
Davenport, Ia, and in the night boarded
frcight-tran, arriving at ST. Joseph two
days later.
The boy was taken to a saloon near tho
railroad yards, the headquarters of tho
gang, and kept close prisoner. II was ex-
planned to him that he was expected TO as
sist in housebreaking, pocket. picking, etc,
and he was threatened with death If nc ro-
fused He was sworn to sccreCy, and then
given instructions The next night he
was taken out by man they called
Salty" to try his hand at picking
pockets. When they reached the Union
depot the boy yelled to the first policeman
he saw: "Hclp! helpw His companion
struck him o terrible blow on the head and
fed, and so far all have escaped arrest
The boy was taken in charge by the chief
Of police and his father in Chicago COM
municatcd with by telegraph, who verifies
the story CT his mysterious disappearance.
