 Dispatches from Waverly state that he spends his time ia his cell reading. He appears perfectly cool and uncon- cerned.
 When interviewed by reporter he declared '1 want to go back to New Jersey as quick as I can: I will readily prove my innocence.
 s>"Open these doors and I will take the first train back to Philadelphia and hurry from there to face my acousers."

 Murray was with me all the time. " ''Did not Miss Annie have suit pend- l ing against the estate on account of l money owed her by your dead brother, Richard ?" he was asked. No, sir. Whatever claim she had was settled some time ago. There may have been a few weeks wages coming to her, but that Is all." In justice to Mir.

SHORT CUT TO HEAVEN.


Three Religion Crazcd Negroes Initiate
Shandrack. MeShak and Abednego.
CHICAGO, Aug. IA Tribune special
from Birmingham, Ala, says: Saturday
last three young negro men, driven to
religious frenzy by the celebrations of
an old negro named Tobias jackson, who
claims to be Daniel, the prophet, were
persuaded to believe that they were rep
resentatives of Shadrach, Meshak and
Abednego, the three Israelites who en-
tered the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnez-
Ear, of old. Under the influence of their
new prophet the negroes, Dan Williams,
Peter Burtramp and Bill Verdier, DELHI
erately entered the gate of the cupola of
the Schloss furnace, and rushed into the
white heat of melting iron. When they
failed to come out jackson, the prophet,
proclaimed that he saw them rising in
the air with the smoke of the furnace,
attended by angels, and said they would
revisit the earth again on Sunday. The
negroes propose to meet at church next
Sunday and will continue in prayer all
day, Tobias jackson leading, and will
await the descent of the three children
of Israel

PEACHES IN MINNESOTA.
Peter Gideon Succeeds IN Raising
the Tender Fruit.

Minneapolis Tribune: Peter Gideon,
the lake Minnetonka fruit raiser, prides
himself on his ability to do what most
regard as an impossibihty in this climate
namely, TO raise peaches. He was in
the city Yesterday with samples OF
peaches grown this year, and for flavor
and general appearance they are unsur-
passed. Peach trees in this climate are
preserved by burying them during the
winter. and as impracticable as this plan
NAV seem, IT has been pursued with
considerable success by Mr.. Gideon
and others. When the trees are plant
ing. two trenches are dug on either side
of the row and the trees set out on the
ridge between. In the fall the earth
is removed from the roots, and the trees
are turned over parallel with the ridge,
and In this position they are covered
for the winter. 1t had generally been
supposed that this would injuire the
roots, but experience proves that it does
not.
Mr.. Gideon had almost 80 trees this
year, Of which only 20 OF 80 survived
the late frOsts so as TO rear fruit this
season, the buds being killed on the
rest. The yield is only about halt a
bushel to the tree, whereas it should be
about two bushels. AS a rule, how
ever, DIR. Gideon thinks that the frests
were much later than usual and that
under ordinary circumstances peaches
can be grown TO advantage in this state.
The grape crop will also be small on &C.
count of the frost, and Mr.. Gideon
thinks that peaches can be raised just as
well as grapes. He was in charge of the
state farm at Minnetonka until 1t was
discontinued by the state legislature.
He thinks that if the state would spend
a little more money in that direction
that small fruit growing could be
demonstrated to be a success in Mime
sofa. Mr.. Gideon lives at Lake Park
Junction

The board of trustees Of the Minneha-
Ia Soldiers Home was held Tuesday,
and a report was submitted covering
the entire history of the soldiers home
from its organization. Ofthe $4,000 ap-
priated by the legislature of 1887 for the
building and site fund all but 1891 81
has been expended. This added to the
appropriation of the last legislature
makes 1881 81 which the board can
expend on buildings between now and
the next session of the legislature, and
most of this has already been contracted
for.
For the support of the soldiers at the
home $4,000 were appropriated for the
years 1883 and 1889, and 5000 trans
ferred from the relief fund and the al
Iowance of the general government of
500 per capita for inmates of the home
for each year, amounting TO 81 ,99l.36. Of
this $50, $50. % were drawn out, leaving a
balance of $4.3S. For 1890 $40, 900 have
been appropriated, leaving S20004.3S
available for the support of the inmates
of the home at :he present date. For
the temporary relief of old soldiers out
side of the home 50, 6S2.79 had been ex-
pended up to July 81, 1889. On that
date there were SIS, 254.94 to the credit
of that fund in the state treasury, and
the tax levy for that purpose for 1889
amounts to S55, 1925.
The total number of applications filed
since the organization of the home were
234, of which 207 were approved, 90 dis
approved, one withdrawn, one died be-
fore action was taken, and two yet await
ing action. The number Of inmates at
the home at present is lag, and altogeth-
er there have been eight deaths. The
annual expense Of running the home is
about $3.50 per capita, which compares
favorably with that of other institutions
of the kind in the country. There have
been 1,025 applications for temporary
relief, and most of these petitions have
been granted. The average amount
paid for temporary relief per capita has
been 1913 per month.
The contract requires the completion
of the new hospital building by Oct. /,
and as soon as that is done the tempo
rary home which has served for two
years viii be abandoned.

FUNNY PHILOSOPHY.

Vinegar helps digestion, but soul
temper ruins it.
How beautiful are the feet of her that
bringeth in good dinner.
Let me make the bread of nation
and care not who makes its pies.
A soft, yet persistent answer, turneth
away borrowing neighbor.
Women insist on raising bread be-
cause they think it will be kneaded.
You can not measure a mans daily
walk by the thickness of his carpet.
1t is vain for you to rise early If the
kitchen chimney will not draw.
There may be too much of good
thing of salt in the soup, for instance.
Many women is expert with crayons
who is not skillful in drawing tea.
If cleanliness is next to godlIness
then neatness is side by side with piety.
When man disagrees with YOU it is
often best to leave him alone. The
same is true of rich food.
1t is better to lock the stable door
after the horse is stolen than not to lock
at all. 1t may save the cow.
1t is never too late to mend; but if the
mending had been done earlier the
patch wonld have been smaller.
Caesar had his Brutus, and Charles
his Cromwell, but neither of them ever
encountered the carpet bug.
Figures in the arithmetic do not lie
but the figures in a cook book sometime
represent indeterminate quantities.

Don't put out your furnace fire till the

The bread of sorrow is leavened with

Give not that which is useful to tn,

LONDON, Aug. l4.-Postmaster General
Raikes was questioned by Mr.. Sexton
in the house of commons last night with
reference to the letter addressed by
President Harrison TO the Lord Mayor
of Dublin, thanking the Lord Mayor for
the sympathy and aid sent from Dublin
to the JOhnstown sufferers, which letter
Mr.. Sexton charged had been tempered
with by postofiice officials. The post
master general said he believed that the
letter had been opened, but by whom,
and when, he was unable to state. Mr.
Sexton having refused to place the en-
yelope in his hands. Mr.. Sexton there
upon promised to produce the envelope.
1t is carrying things pretty far when
the correspondence Of the President OF
the United States Is not to be free from
the impudent prying of British spies.
This incident shows up an insult to this
country which ought to call for suitable
or for forcible reparation.

THE STATE FAIR.
Busy Hum of Preparation for the
Coming Exhibit.

The State fair grounds at Hamline
will present finer appearance at this
years fair than ever before. The long,
winding drives and the grassy slopes,
the mammoth buildings. and that mile
of circling race track were never in
better condition and care than now.
Carpenters are busy at work putting
additional improvement upon the great
main building. The railroad gate
facilities are to be enlarged and greater
amount of platform with side entrances
laid down. Inquiries as to the horse
racing are coming in rapidly from Iowa,
Kentucky and Michigan points. Nearly
every prominent stock breeder in the
state and many from Iowa, Illinois and
Wisconsin have forwarded applications
for stalls. The cattle and horses display
will certainly exceed that of any prev
ious year. st. Paul merchants are COM
ing in quiet heavily for exhibition
space.
