Only a Juggler's Trick.

Japan Correspondence st. Louis Globe
The lights were turned low, and
while a rough cross of poles was be-
ing set up the general played wild
discords on a weary old melodeon,
and his orderly worked an ancient
accordion. A rack was brought out,
and later two women were brought
on and bound, the one to the cross and
the other to the rack. The general
dosed them with something, appar-
emily chloroforni; played another
weird tune, and then in the most
professional way used the stetho-
scope. This scientific testing of the
patients heart-beats took the Japa-
nese part of the audience. The eX-
element deepened. After that the
general took a sword and apparent
~ plunged it through and through
the body of the PROSTATE woman on
the rack, who writhed in such real
istic manner that it was hard to hold
to the red-paint and spring-blade
theory. Next the woman on the
cross was stabbed with shears, but
of that proceeding the ladies of our
party only heard, as, after the first
horrible sight of the woman on the
rack, faces were covered and faces
turned from the sickening spectacle.
The Japanese cheered wildly as the
bodies were carried back and appar-
emily thrown in a lake, but in a few
minutes they came walking on the
stage in bedraggled foreign dresses
and wildly-feathered hats. The show
left most unpleasant impression
on one, and, although have seen a
small boy put in a boiling cauldron
and apparently cooked for ten min
utes, and woman held under water
for quarter of an hour at time,
none of them caused such sickening
shudders as the crucifixion.

The Cincinnati Liquor Dealers Resolve to
Close Their Doors To. Day.
CINCINNATI, August 3.-The indications
now are that tomorrow will be phenome-
nally quiet Sunday in Cincinnati. The
Saloon Keepers Association has all along
refused to counsel violation of the Owen law,
and its members have been outspoken in
condemnation of other saloon keepers who
held the meeting in Turner Hall last week
and resolved to defy the law. Now the last
named have taken formal action at a meet
ing held last night, resembling the resOlu-
tions adopted at former meeting. This
action was taken largely at the instance of
the men employed by them, who frankly ad-
yised them that their former action could
not be upheld upon any ground and that It's
effect upon them had been most injurious.
A number of the saloon keepers made
speeches in which they agreed with the ar
gument of their lawyer and said they saw
that their former action was injudicious.
The resolutions, adopted by a unanimous
vote, are as follows:
WHEREAS, At former meeting of saloon
keepers held at Turner Hall July Is, it was re-
solved to keep open our places of business on
Whereas, We. the aforesaid saloon keepers
in convention assembled, finding that such
course is inpracticable and injudicious,
Resolved, That we hereby rescind our former
resolution adopted July 25, and hereafter keep
our places of business closed on Sunday SO long
as the Owen Law remains in torce and full
effect.

MUST MAKE HIS OWN STOCK.
A Hitch That the Postal Card Contractor
is Trying TO Overcome.

is Trying to Overcome.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
WASHINGTON, August 3.-Some of the
Postofice Department authorities say that
Albert Daggett will not get the postal card
contract unless he can show that he is the
owner of plant to make the cards, or has
begun negotiations for the purchase Of such
a plant in good faith. Daggett told Wana-
maker that he had an option on a big paper
mill, but that did not satisfy the Postmaster
General, whose friends in Philadelphia are
very anxious to get the contract at figure
several thousand dollars higher than the
sum named in Daggett's bid. Daggett has
been told that he must own paper mill that
can make postal-card paper. and that he
must become such an owner in a very short
time if he wants the contract. 1t is said in
Mr.. Wanamaker's behalf that it is the reg
ular practice of the department to require
successful bidders for Government supplies
to possess the plant necessary to make them,
and there was nothing irregular or unusual
in applying the same terms to Daggett.
Daggett is supposed to be in New York
now, for the purpose of closing the bargain
for the mill on which he has an option.
Meanwhile, the Avil Printing Company, of
Philadelphia, is keeping a close watch on
Daggett and the Postmaster General, and
they are apparently satisfied that the Brook
lyn man will be knocked out with Wanna
makers help.
The American Bank Note Company of
New York is also watching the present pro-
ceedings with interest. The contract for
printing the new postage stamps has not yet
been awarded. The Bank Note Company
is one of the competitors tor this contract.
and the decision in the Daggett matter
may have an important bearing upon the
stamp contract.

HURON, S. D., August 3.-The United
States Senate Irrigation Committee, of which
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is Chairman,
arrived here to-day from Sioux Falls. I'm
mediately upon arrival a session was held,
In which statements were submitted by a
number of gentlemen interested in irriga-
ton. The principal speaker was Prof. Lewis
Maclouth. President of the South Dakota
Agricultural College. at Brookings. There
were hundreds OF artesian wells, he said,
In the valley Of the James river, each yield
ing large flow of water from an average
depth of 1000 feet.
The power thus obtained was now utilized
to run steam presses, electric light dynamos,
mills and factories. An inexhaustible sup
ply of water power could, therefore, he
said, be had in this valley by an increase in
the number Of artesian wells. Some of the
wells already flowing gave out the enormous
quantity of 1000 gallons minute. If the
yearly flow of those wells could be saved
and stored in reservoirs, to be used as need
ed SO as to supply in the growing season the
deficiency in the natural waterfall, it would
add enormously to the development of agri-
culture and turn the entire James river
valley into luxuriant garden.
One thousand such wells, Prof. Maclouth
says, would add $4,000, 900 to the value of
the land in that region. When the session
OF the afternoon was over the committee
were shown the practical working of
an artesian we'll that supplies water
and water power to this city. Four
large hose pipes were connected with
the street hydrants and threw into
the air stream of water 60 feet high. In
the evening another session of the commit
tee was held, at which, after hearing num-
bv tbs anu masn
on the importance of the inquiry which the
committee was asking. Tomorrow morn

Salaries of $50 and 500 Per Day Paid by
Prominent Eastern Associations.
New York Letter to Philadelphia Times.l
The responsibility of the judges in horse
race is very great, and these big race tracks
are hiring experienced men both to start
horses and judge the finish. Mr.. Caldwell,
who works on nearly all tine big race courses
East, gets 500 day for starting the races
OF the afternoon, and he is regarded as the
best in the country. He gets larger salary
for his years work than the judge of any
court in the United States. He earns twice
as much as an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, who is forced to live in style
in Washington. Colonel Simmons is the
paid judge for several of the prominent
Eastern associations. He receives $50
day as the presiding judge in the stand.
The other two are not paid, but are Sc
lected from prominent turfmen on the track.
They have little to say in case of dispute.
The reason the race men give me why the
judge does not get as much pay as the
starter is that his duties are not as delicate
or onerous; that, as a rule, there is no dis
pute as to the finish of race, while few
races are ever started that there is not more
or less fault found with the man who drops
the flag.

WRERE NUTMEGS GROW.
Interesting Description Of the Tree and Its
Valuable Fruit.

Valuable Fruit.
From the American Analyst.l
An address on spices was delivered before the
Grocers' Association, of Boston, recently BY
Mr.. w. d. Bennett, of this city, from which we
condense the following interesting particulars
concerning the nutmeg:
Nutmegs grow on small trees resembling pear
trees. cut down to about 20 feet in height. The
flowers are very much like those of the lily of
the valley; they are pale yellow and very fra
grant. The leaves stand alternately on short
foot-stalks; are oblong pointed, entire bright
green, and somewhat glossy on their up
per surface, whitish beneath and of an ar
matte taste. The fruit, which appears on the
tree mingled with the flowers, is round or oval

pale green. but yellow when ripe, and marked
with longitudinal furrow. The external
covering, which is at first thick and fieshy and
abounds in an austere astringent juice, after
ward becomes dry and leathery. and. separat-
ing into two valves from the apex. discloses a
scarlet net-like membrane commonly called
mace. closely investing thin brown shining
she'll, which contains the kernel or nutmeg
The nutmeg tree is a native of the Moluccas
and other neighboring islands. and abounds
by the name of Banda, whence the chief sup
plies of nutmegs were long derived. But the
plant Is now cultivated in SumaIra, Java, Sing
East Indies, and has been introduced into the
Isles of France, Bourbon. Cayenne
and several of the West India
Islands. A fine tree in Jamaica has
over 1000 nutmegs on it yearly. The tree be-
gins to bear when 10 years old. and goes on i'm
proving for 100 years. The fruit is gathered
two or three times year. Three sorts of nut
megs are distinguished-namely the male or
barren. the royal, and the queen, the last of
which is small and round. The nutmeg is
