A Gastronomie Freak.

Bon-vivants in London are being
treated to new sensation. There is
now a Gastronomic club established in
Oxford street, and the members OF it
will have the opportunity to acquire
an unexampled practical knowledge of
the way the world lives. without being
put to the expense of travel to obtain
it. The new club began its career
with an Italian dinner strictly limited
to the dishes and wines native TO Rome
and Florence, and served, we may sup
pose, by King Humbert's subjects. II
the plan is followed until the nations
of the world are exhausted, no one can
complain of any lack Of variety in the
fare at Oxford street. But perhaps
when it comes to China or to India the
line will be drawn; certainly in these
cases the native dinner ought not to be
undertaken without preliminary
educating process. We shall look
with interest to see how this delicate
question is solved by the Gastronomes.

Artificial Coffee.

According to A. Stutzer, in the
Zeitschrift fur angewandt Chemie, the
manufacture of artificial coffee from
burnt -four or meal is carried on by
certain firms in Cologne. The artifi-
icial beans are made in specially devils
led machines and resemble closely in
appearance the natural ones. They
can be readily distinguished from the
natural beans by their property OF
lsiuking when immersed in ether as
genuine coffee beans floats on that
liquid. Strong oxidizing agents do not
decolorize the artificial product SO
rapidly as natural coffee.

THE barbed-wi patents, VIII

THE barbed-wire patents, which
have Melted fortunes to their owners,
have an interesting history. The first
patents we're issued to man named
Kelly, living down east. About two
years later farmer at De Kalb, Ill,
conceived the idea of keeping hls I'M
ruly cattle in the pasture by putting
short barbs on wire and then twist
ing it with plain wire. This is
known in the market as the Glidden
wire, being named after its inventor,
Joseph F. Glidden. One day while he
was experimenting with it a neighbor
going by shouted: Joe, you better
be out harrerin' in your oats instead OF
foolin' away your time with patents. ~
For one year his royalties exceeded

They Adopt Platform and Name a
Ticket in New York.
SYRACUSE IN. Y }, September 5th.-The
Prohibition State Convention resumed It's
session this morning. The question of
holding a State Convention in 1890 was
left to the discretion of the State Commit
tee. A motion that the highest nomina-
ton of the Convention be given to a lady
was voted down. The work of selecting q
State ticket was then commenced.
The following ticket was selected: Sec.
retary of State, Jesse II. Griffin Comp
troller. NJ. R. Reand, of Tonawanda; Treas.
urer, ]. W. Bruce; AttorneyGenersl. G. A.
Hart; State Engineer and Surveyor, A. J.
Kenyon; Judge of Court of Appeals, w. J.
Harrington.
The platform adopted declares that the
prohibition of the liquor traffic, both State
and National, should be the dominating
and dividing political issue until such pro-
hibihon shall have become recognized
and settled policy of the Government.
License, high or low, is vicious in prin-
ciple and powerless as remedy and local
option has proved unsatisfactory. 1t rec
ognizes the duty of the coming Legislature
TO submit the prohibition amendment, but
protests against such q submission by any
political party whose only purpose is pro-
hibiion's defeat.
The platform further affirms that the
right OF suffrage rests on no mere circum-
stance of race, color, sex or nationality.
The law should be so amended as to re-
quire ten years residence for naturaliza-
ton.
Declares opposition to trusts and monop-
oiies and approves civil service reform
when rightly applied. 1t holds that while
the Government can afford and ought to
be just and generous to honorably-dis-
charged soldiers and sailors of the republic,
the doors of the United States Treasury
ought not to be thrown open to crafty the
desires or satisfy the greed of claim agents
and unscrupulous politicians.

gress enough to indicate very clearly that it is
destined to produce more changes in the indus
trial affairs and economic conditions of civil
lied life than have been produced hitherto by
any agency of force that has been brought
under the control of man. The progress that
has been made so far in turning electrical
energy to the service of man makes it certain
that its use will become practically ilIimitable
Its possibilities are yet, and probably will re-
main for long period, beyond human forecast.
The application Of electricity to the arts and
sciences is no less marked than that to the
human system. DRS DARRIN & QUINLAN
have made the subject of electric treatment
study for years, and have "harnessed and

humanity, until their names have become

SECRETARY WINDOW.
He is Interviewed Upon the Importation
of Lead Ores,


of Lead Ores.
KEENE IN. H }, September 5th.-Secre-
tary Window, who has been in this city
for several days with his family, was seen
to-day in relation to the reported retalia-
ton on the part of the Mexican Govern
ment on account of the alleged rulings of
the Treasury Department adverse to the
importation in the United States of Mexi-
can lead ores in regard to the imposition of
duties of Mexican vessels.
The Secretary, after reading the dispatch
carefully, said that in regard to lead ore;
this Government had not recently entered
upon any policy shutting out the products
of Mexico. No ruling had been lately
made on the subject except as to certain
instructions to collectors of customs on the
of Mexican lead ore.
The question as to the classification of
lead ores had been foz some time pending
in the Department, but no decision in re-
gard to the matter had yet been reached.
In regard to imposing duties on Mexican
vessels, the law imposed discriminating
duty of 16 per cent. on goods imported in
foreign vessels. except the vessels OF ma
tions with which the United States has
treaties on the subject. The President is
authorized to relieve vessels of other ma
tions from that discriminating duty upon
satisfactory proof that such countries do
not levy such duties on our vessels.
As Mexico does levy such discriminating
duty on goods imported in American sail
ing vessels, there is no power to relieve her
vessels of such duty.
