OVER NIAGRA FALLS.

Niagara, Sept. Steve Brodie,
the bridge jumper, went over the
Horseshoe falls this morning in rub
Der suit. He was picked up below the
falls in an unconscious condition, and
taken to Clifton. He recovered con-
sciousness not long after, and an ex-
animation showed that he is not seri-
ously injured.
Brodie's leap was made just after
day-break. He took the precaution
to pad his body heavily with cotton
ffty-two inches around the waist and
seventy-hve inches around the chest
Over this he placed a rubber suit, and
the body Was protected by two steel
bands. He shot over the center ol
Horseshoe falls, and disappeared for
two minutes, when he came to view
and was rescued
In describing the experience, Brodie
says that after he entered the river he
weakened and would have given any
thing in the world if he could have
reached the shore. He attempted to
reach the shore by using his paddles,
when the swift current swept him back
and turned his feet toward the brink
of the cataract. When he saw that
it was impossible to get out, he felt the
same as a man that was, to meet his

How They Became Acouainted.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Representatives Milliken of Maine and Barry
of Mississippi were taking luncheon together in
the House restaurant the other day when
humorous John Allen of Mississippi made his
appearance. There were a number of membe
about at the time, and Allen related how Barry
and Milliken first became acquainted Just two
years ago. According to Allen. these two gem
tlemen had served almost entirely through the
Forty ninth congress without ever having met
Mr.. Barry not having attained the distinction
that mas come to him within few weeks
Their meeting occurred in the rotunda on that
occasion, and Allen, observing that they did not
seem acqua nted. introduced Mr.. Barry Mr.
Milliken remarked that he thought he had seen
the gentleman before and inquired if he were
not a member This Tu1led Mr. Ba ~ a trihe.
but he responded politely that he was, only to

state he was from.

then turned the tables by asking: Are you a
member of congress?"
Now, Mr.. Milken is particularly proud of the
fact that he has had a lengthy career in con
gress as the successor of James G. Blaine a cir
cumstance which he thought was pretty well
understood by well-informed people generally
and he answered in the affirmative with tinge
of sarcasm in his voice.
What state are you fromY' Barry again in
quired
maine, sir, ;" said Milliken, his voice growing
deep.
But Barry was relentless, and in a tone as soft
as a summers zephyr, he asked:
Are you republican or a democrat?"
The sarcasm by that Time had been carried so
far that its humorous side was irresistible and
the whole party burst into laughter The two
members have never had any need for an intro
duCtion since.

and expensive opera hat ever made in America.
Mr.. Arkell says he is pleased to remark, that
the hat is a perfect fit, although it is only IA

The story that Mr.. Blaine proposes to be
the real head of 9 Harrison administra-
tioa is revived in Washington, and IS caus-
ing great deal Of gossip. Whether or not
there is any truth in it cannot of course
De stated with any degree Of certainty.
Blaine was the first man to call upon Gen.
Harrison after he arrived at his hotel in
Washington, and he was received with every
mark OF confidence and friendship.
Some Of the anti-B,aine men sly that
when Gen Harrison began constructing his
cabinet he was determined to have the
Blaine and anti-Blaine factions about
equally represented in it, He offered NJ.
Blaine the portfolio Of state, and then
called upon Senator Allison to accept
that Of the treasury. Senator Alison's in
fiuence, he thought would Offset that of
Mr.. Blaine He was greatly DISAPPOINTED,
therefore, when Senator Allison refu sed to
enter the cabinet. He could not get any
strong anti-Baine man to take the
Secretaryship OF the Treasury, and, there
FORE surrendered to Mr.. Blaine. and per-
mitted him to dictate virtually the COM
position of the cabinet
Senator Allison knew that if he went
into the cabinet he would have to fight
Blaine as long as they remained members
of the administration. 1t is probable that
ho saw that they could not get along to-
gether, and that one or the other of them
would have to resign within a very few
months after they we're appointed. If that
were his view he doubtless concluded that
Mr.. Blaine, having the greater influence
would be the one who would remain The
wiser course for him 10 pursue, therefore,
was to stay in the Senate.
1t is asserted that MI Blaine will forget
neither his friends nor his enemies when he
is in position to distribute favors. The
New York politicians who forced him out
of the cabinet after Garfields death, and
who were his pronounced enemies while
Garfield was living, will, it is said, receive
no recognition from the Harrison admin
| istration. 1t is even asserted that the
reason Mr.. Platt of New York has not been
offered place in the cabinet is that Mr..
Blaine does not want him there, and does
not intend that he shall have any voice in
| national affairs while Con. Harrison is
| President.
Of course there may be very little truth
in this gossip about Mr.. Blaine's influence
and purposes, but doubtless it has some
foundation Mr.. Blaine has a splendid
memory, and it is known that he has no
love for those of the New York republicans
who assisted in defeating him in 1884. and
who would try to defeat him again if he
should be presidential candidate. If he
could de stroy their influence it would only
be natural for him to do SO. The first ap-
pointments will be watched for with good
deal of interest, because they will indicate
to certain extent, whether or not Mr..
Blaine is going to be the boss Of the admin
| istration.

Whv the Farmars are Poor.

The farmers in no part of the country
are prosperous. In the New England and
middle states they are barely making a iiv-
ing in the western states they are burdened
with mortgages and in the southern states
they are complaining that they find it
difficult to make expenses.
A statement was published in the dis
patches of the MORNING NEWS a few days
ago that more farms had been sold by the
sheriff in one Of the richest counties of
Pennsylvania last January than in any
year since the panic of 1878, and that tue
prospect was that great many other farms
of the county would pass into the hands of
the sheriff
The Senate of Nebraska few days ago
adopted a memorial to congress asking for
more currency. In the memorial it was
stated that there were mortgages on Ne
baska farms to the amount Of l50,00000O,
and that many farmers who had once been
land owners were now tenants. In Kansas
many farmers have abandoned their farms,
which were SO heavily mortgaged that they
did not yield their owners living In the
south the farms are heavily mortgaged,
though it is probable that the southern
farmers are less heavily burdened with
mortgages than those of the west. Ia al
most all the western towns there are
agencies for loaning money to the farmers
at high rates OF interest. This money be-
longs to rich men of the large cities, who, as
a rule, make their money out of protected
manufacturing enterprises.
The majority OF the northern and west
ern farmers do not seem to know what
makes them poor They have been told fire.
quently that if they sell the products of
their farms in the cheapest market and
buy their supplies in the dearest they will
eventually become poor. That is what they
| are doing now, and what they have been
doing for years. They continue, however,
| to vote Tor the Republican party and a high
| tariff Probably when the most of them
have lost their farms, and the greater part
| of o wealth of the country has passed into
the hands of those into whose pockets the
high tariff pours what it takes from the
farmers, they will recognize the mistake
| they have been making. What the Ne
braska farmers want is lower tariff, not a
greater volume of currency.

Hello, Melr'

From the Chicago Tribune.
Chief Justice Fuller and the President have be-
come almost chums There is no more frequent
caller at the white house than the chief justice,
and each is q sincere admirer of the other. The
President is never too busy to see the one big
democrat that w II be left in Washington after
March 4. and the chief justice is always glad to
sit down for a pleasant chat. The President
likes the brightness and the smiles of his most
distinguished appointee, and has been heard to
say that the chief justice carries more sun
quantauce The chief justice likes the Presi-
dents hearty, commonplace manners and his
quick ear and ready appreciation. A member
of congress who was coming out of the Pres
dents office one day few weeks since just as
the chief justice was going in says he heard the
President sing ont before the door was closed:
Hello, Mel glad to see you" When there
are no other persons present the President does
not indulge in Mr.. Chief Justice" which is
such an awkward expression for conversational
purposes that Fuller himself abominates it.
