that Lawyer John +. Beggs, ex-presi-
dent Of Camp 90 Of the Clan-na-Gael, BY
which body it is held that the physicians
death was decreed and who was deposed
from the presidency Of the Irish Ameri-
can club few nights since, had been
placed under arrest. Investigation de-
veloped the fact that he had been taken
from his lodgings shortly after midnight
and locked In the Warner avenue sta
ton. He was brought down to the
court house late in the afternoon in q
patrol wagon strongly guarded by police
and ushered without delay into the pres

MIR. Phelps Life.
William Walter Phelps was born in
New York city in the year 1889. In
1860 he was graduated from Yale coll
lege and three years later the degree Of
L. b. at the Columbia College Law
school. In 1858 he retired from the
practice of the law. He was elected TO
seat in the Forty-third congress in the
year 1872. In 1880 he was chosen a

-tion he resigned in 1882. The same
year he was elected to the Forty-eighth
congress. He has been q member Of the
house of representatives ever since that
date. Mr.. Phelps is a man Of large
means, and lives in elegant style at
Englewood, N. j.
A Reward for Commissioner KassOn, Ton
It is whispered in official circles that
Commissioner Kasson, of Iowa, who pre-
ceded Mr.. Pendleton as minister to Ger

Kassons s means will permit him to main
tain an establishment at the frozen cap

turned. He particularly refused to adj
NIT that shortly before Cronin's murder
he had made bitter speech in Camp 90
denouncing the physician as British

tion he was returned to the station.
Rumors are again current that inn
portant arrests are imminent. None of

Not So Eager After Cooney.
Chief of Police Hubbard now admits
that the authorities are not particularly
anxious to find Patrick Cooney, for
whom he sent his officers on a wild goose
chase down into Indiana last week.
This change of front is due to the fact
that none of the witnesses have been
able to identify his picture and that there
is nothing against him except the fact
that he is a friend of Burke's.

Tins of the flood was resumed. The
particular quest is upon the body of.
Mrs. Ellen Hite. drowned. Mechanical
Engineer John Coffin and Col. Roberts
testified that the South Fork dam, con-
structed throughout like the part left
standing, with waste weirs kept per-
tectly clear, with discharge gates and
under the constant surveillance Of a
competent engineer, was safe as long as
employed to furnish water to a great
public highway, but as reconstructed
would not consider it q safe structure.
Even IL perfectly constructed through
out would not consider an earthen dam
safe when thousands of lives depended
upon its security and when the only
reason for its existence was the. pleasure
of a few men.
No Earthen Dam Safe.
Col. 7. p. Roberts, of Pittsburg, sub
mitted sketch Of the broken dam, Civ
ing the dimensions and descriptions of
the material used in its construction as
disclosed by the break. He also stated
that there were evidence of an overflow,
and did not believe that there was an
earthen dam that would Withstand an
overflow. Did not believe that had the
five discharge pipes been in place they
would have added security to the dam.
Taking into consideration its construction
it would have gone out with an over
flow.
How the Dam Broke.
John G. Parke, Jr., civil engineer Of
Pittsburg, was at the lake when the
dam broke. At 1870 a. m. six or eight
inches Of water was running over the
dam for width OF seventy-five feet.
He was afraid it would 90 and rode to
South Fork and warned the people there
and by telegraph at Johnstown of their
danger. This washing continued until
nearly o'clock, when il had cut hole
ten feet wide and within three feet Of
the inner face Of the dam. Then the
dam caved in, the water rushed through
and cut both sides Of the dam until
IN forty-five minutes the lake was
drained.

Gen. Cameron's Home Life.
With the long and distinguished pub
lie career of Simon Cameron every in-
telligent citizen of the republic is fa-
miliar, but since his retirement in 1887
his life has been more secluded. He
lived in Harrisburg in the old stone
mansion built by the founder of the
town, but the greater part of his time
was spent at his country place, L0chiel,
where he maintained a fine farm. In
the later years of his life he took great
deal of interest in amateur agriculture.
He travelled great deal during these
later years, and in 1887, accompanied
by the late Leonard w. Jerome and a
few other friends, he made his first trip
to Europe. In March last he celebrated
his 0Oth birthday at his home IN Harris
burg, on which occasion the legislature
of Pennsylvania adopted a congratu-
latory resolution and the members paid

than 1000 lbs. The proportion of cost
will also be varied greatly by the perfec-
ion and hardness of stables and dairy
houses. A Mr.. Hopkins of Buffalo, n.
Y, with herd Of fifteen very fine dairy
cows that produced an average of 80 lbs.
per COW, says in the Country Gentleman
that his butter cost him II IA cents a
pound to produce that which sells for an
average price of 80 cents.
Another dairyman says his figures are
all wrong, and that it costs him Al cents
a pound the year round We would not
wonder if it did Take some of these
foolish dairymen who really prefer a COW
will yield l25 lbs. to one that Yields
300 lbs, and we doubt not they are pay
ing cost of 30 to 40 cents for all they
get. 1t takes from $50 to $40 to keep
even such low down cows a year, and a
return of only about hundred pounds
of butter makes the article cost dear. In
all these fine points it takes brains to
figure where the profit lies. Not one
farmer in one hundred can tell to-day
what his butter costs, or the cost per
gallon of his milk product. As business
men this should not be. Exchange.

The sword was sheathed; in April's sun
Lay green the fields by Freedom won;
And severed sections, weary OF debates,
Joined hands at last and were United States
City, sitting by the Sea
How proud the day that dawned on thee,
When the new era, long desired, began,
And, in its need, the hour had found the man
one thought the cannon salvos spoke;
The resonant bell towers vibrant stroke,
The voiceiul streets, the plauditechoingh halls,
And prayer and hymn borne heavenward
from st. Paul's,
How felt the land in every part
The strong throb of II nations heart.
As its great leader gave, with reverent awe,
His pledge to Union, Liberty and Law
That pledge the heavens above him heard,
That vow the sleep OF centuries stirred
In worldwide wonder listening peoples bent
Their gaze on Freedoms great experiment.
Could it succeed? OF honor sold
And hopes deceived all history told.
Above the wrecks that strewed the mournful

Thank God the peoples choice was just,
The one man equal to his trust,
Wise beyond lore, and without weakness

Calm in the strength of tiawless rectitude!
His rule of Justice order. peace,
Made possible the worlds release;
Taught prince and serf that power is but a
trust
That Freedom generous is, but strong
In hate of fraud and selfish wrong,
Pretense that turns her holy truths to lies,
And lawless license masking in her guise.

Let thy great sisterhood rejoice;
A century's suns DER thee have risen ana set,
And, God be praised, we are one nation yet!
And still, we trust, the years to be
Shall prove his hope was destiny,
Leaving our flag with all its added stars
Unrent by faction and unstained by wars
Lo, where with patient toll he nursed
And trained the new-set plant at first,
The widening branches of a stately tree
Stretch from the sunrise to the sunset sea.
And in its broad and shelterng shade,
Sitting with none to make afraid,
Were we now silent, through each mighty

COST POUND OF BUTTER.

Quite frequently up springs some man
who proceed, to tell Us what 1t costs to
make butter. No sooner has he subsidized
than some other fellow declares that the
first is all wrong. As we view II, the
cost of producing pound OF butter
must depend on so great number OF
eyer-varving conditions that the expert
ence of no man can be taken rs guide
for others. There are, however, two
primary principles which govern every
where:
|. The cost of butter PEI COW VIII
ALWAYS be affected by the amount the
COW yields. For instance, If COW
Yields only $50 lbs. IA year, the cost per
pound in some respects Is more thah
double that obtained from COW that
Yields 300 lbs. The item OF labor
stabling, and to considerable extent
feed also. is nearly. if not quite the
same with the first COW a with the
second.
,. In herds of COWS the cost of butter
Der pound is affected by the size OF the
herd. Zen cows, producing 200 lbs eaeh
in a season, will require the same
machinery and room that will herd ol
twenty having the same relative produc'
ton per COW.
Two thousand pounds of butter VIII
cost more per pound, in many particulars
