Wide Awake Boys.

In this busy hurrying age, when
competition in all lines of work Is
sharp and continuous, the boy who
desires to excel must needs be wide
awake and prompt Not that he
necessarily possess what the world
calls cheek nor the sharpness that
approaches dishonesty; indeed,
quite to the contrary. But he must
90 about the world with his eyes
open, and be ready to take advant-
age of every suitable opportunity.
Thirty years ago, Mr.. H. a MUIR
seryman in New York state, left home
for day OF two. 1t was rainy
weather and not the season for sales,
but customer arrived from a dis
lance, tied up his horse, and found
his way to the kitchen of the farm
house, where two lads were cracking
nuts.
Mr.. H. at homer
! No sir said the eldest, Joe, ham
mering at nut.
When will he be backp'
Dunno, sir. Mebbe not for a
week
The other boy, Jem, jumped up
and followed the man out. The
men are not here, but I can show
you the stock, he said, with such
bright courteous manner, that the
stranger, who was little irritated,
stopped and followed him through the
nursery, examined the trees and left
his order.
You have sold the largest bill
that have had for this season, Jem,'
his father, greatly pleased, said to
him on his return.
I'm sure said Joe, sullenly, I'm
as willing to help as Jem, il I'd
thought in time
A few years afterward, these two
boys were left by their fathers fail
ure and death with but two or three
hundred dollars each. Joe with
them bought an acre or two near
home. The land was poor, and crops
scanty, the market low. He has
worked hard and faithfully, but he
| is still poor, discontenced man.
Jem bought an emigrant's ticket to
Colorado, hired as cattle driver for
couple of years, with his wages
bought land at forty cents an acre,
built himself house, and married.
His herds Of cattle are numbered by
the thousand, bis lands have been
cut up into town lots, and be is rank
ed as one of the wealthiest men in
the state.
This quick, wide-awake energy
which acts as leven in character il
partly natural But it can be in
culcated by parents, and acquired
F by boy, II he chooses to keep BIZ
ey es open and to act promptly and
boldly in every emergency.

Co.Education in Pennsylvania.

Following the example of her
neighbor West Virginia, Pennsylva-
MIA has opened her chief institution
of learning to the ladies. In com
menting upon the matter our con-
temporary the Pittsburg Dispatch
says: The adoption by the faculty
of the University of Pennsylvania of
resolution opening the privileges
of that institution to both sexes
alike, is an indication of progress.
1t is only few years since a step of
this sort was defeated in the same
institution. Without any especial
agitation the progress of modern
ideas has been so steady, that the
action is reversed, and the Univer-
sity is placed in the list of institu-
tions that offers it's facilities without
regard to sex,
at is rather amusing to find some
of our Philadelphia contemporaries,
who seem unable to take their edu-
cational ideas much beyond the linn
its of the early part of the century,
speaking of the change as one the
character and results of which can
only be determined by experience
The fact is that co-education has
long ago passed the experimental
stage. Half dozen collegiate insti-
buttons have proved its practicability
and usefulness, some of them by the
practice of over so years. Such col
leges as Oberlin and Ann Arbor are
sufficient answer to all doubts about
the novel experiment Of co-educa-
ton"
ut is also rather amusing to learn
that the approval of the students now
at the University is matter of
doubt. If that institution finds it
necessary to take into consideration
the veto power of the students on
any question of management it will
be decided improvement to bring
in a new class of scholars, who may
have less exalted estimate of the
value of their verdict"

MORMON SECRETS.
A Plural Wife Reveals the Story Of her
Shame.

CHICAGO, Oct. Ga dispatch from
Salt Lake Utah, says: Hans Jes
person was brought before Commits
sioner Hills at Provo, Thursday,
charged with polygamy and held in
$500 bail and the second wife at ST.
600. The latter related under oath
how she was converted to Mormon
ism in Virginia, and came to Utah
last November and gave the details
of her marriage to Jesperson in the
Mormon temple at Manti, five months
ago. She told how she subsequently
came to Salt Lake City where she
went through the Endowment house,
where all polygamous marriages and
other secret rites of the church are
solemnized. She could not tell who
performed the ceremony, as whoever
it was stayed behind a curtain. Nc
marriage license was procured, as
the Tucker Edmunds law provides
The case is important, owing to the
fact that for several years past it has
been impossible to secure conviction
in one of these cases. Had the plural
wife not testified freely her husband
would have escaped the five years
penalty which now stares him in the
| face.

A LIGHT VOTE POLLED.
North Dakota Gives Its Usual Republic
can Majority.

FARGO, N. D,October q Through
out the State the total vote is not so
heavy as was expected-probably
about $4,000. Many people have
moved away from Ramsey, Eddy and
Nelson counties owing to the failure
of the crops. The Legislature is
strongly Republican. The Demo
Gratis elect Senators in the LIST, I'd,
Sd, 18th, 10th, 18th, 10Th, goth, 25th,
9th, and 2Sth. The Republicans
get 20, with the 23d district in doubt.
Republicans also get SO members of
the Assembly; the Democrats Is,
with one district IN doubt. Hans
brough, Republican, is elected 10
Congress by about 10000 major
ity. The contest over the Judge
ships is extremely close. Report s
from Grand Forks, St. Thomas,
Pembine and other northern points
indicate that Templeton, Democrat,
has beaten O'Keefe, Republican, in
the First district. d. E. Morgan,
Republican, is elected in the Second.
In the Third Mcconnell, Democrat,
seems to have defeated Newman,
Republican. Louder, Republican,
is elected in the fourth. and Win
chester, Republican in the fifth.

PROHIBITION BEATEN.
North Datoka Rejects the Anti-LiquOr
Law by $500.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October q
The staff correspondent of the Jour
nal who is looking after the election
returns Of North Dakota, sends the
following from Fargo: Returns up
to | o'clock this morning from all
counties received at the headquar-
tiers of the Republican State Central
Committee give Miller, Republican,
a majority over Roach for Govern
or of 5,172. Miller runs behind his
ticket about 1000. The average
Republican majority is about 1000,
and Hansbrough's majority for Con-
gress will reach 5000.
E. I. Goodkind, wholesale liquor
dealer at Bismark, devoted special
attention to returns on the prohib
ition question and has heard from
every county, the returns showing a
total majority of 2,l00 against pro-
hibition in the State. The Repub-
licans have elected ten Senators and
eighteen Representative, and the
Democrats two Senators and six
Representatives, the others not being
entirely heard from.

They Detest the Virginia Outcast.
Richmond State.

Richmond State.
There is not a well-informed, de-
cent Republican at the North who
would like to see Malone elected
Governor of Virginia. There are
many Quay-Dudley- Clarkson Repub-
licans who not only hope to see the
Virginia Outcast elected, but who
will contribute money to his cam
paign fund. But the decent Repub-
cans-those who being remote from
the scene, cannot appreciate the
Southern situation, and who are Re-
publicans from sentiment-have long
had contemptuous opinion of Ma
hone. They detest him. They I'M
derstand very we'll that Malone rep
resents only the very worst element
in Virginia politics, and that he has
never been anything but a dema-
gogue himself.

BLAINE'S BASENESS.
The Young Husbands Treatment Of His
Wife-L0afing about the House
Where She Lay Sick-Marie
BIaine's MisfOrtunes.

New YORK, October 5.-Gen.
Martin L. McMahon, counsel for
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., and a
lifelong friend of her family, says
that the published reports of her
intention to sue for an absolute di-
vorce are incorrect. But papers are
being prepared locking to an action
for limited divorce or separation.
Those already sworn to by witnesses
whose knowledge and credibility
cannot be impeached it is under
stood will go to prove beyond ques-
ton that the husbands desertion of
his young wife and child was as cruel
as it was causeless, and the refusal
of himself and his father, the Secre-
tary of State of the United States,
to provide in any way for the sup
port of this infant child is without
possible justification.
The statement was published yes
terday afternoon that young Blaine
spent Saturday evening in and
around the house where his wife
now lies very i'll. The facts as OBJ
tanned upon authority seem to be
that, on the evening in question, he
did, for the first time since his de-
sertion of wife and child, exhibit
some evidences of conjunction fol
the act. Mr.. Pannici, proprietor Of
the Percival-to which apartment
house it will be remembered Mrs
Blaine was removed under the in
fuence of chloroform on the same
day that Emmons Blaine was mar
ried to the Chicago heiress, Miss
McCormick-said yesterday that he
had at about 8 p. m. noticed the
young man wandering aimlessl J
about the corridors and restaurant
but had not at the time recognized
him. He came back, however, a
about II O'Clock, with his hat bat
tered in and otherwise much dis
hevelled, and again strayed aimless
ly about for a while. One of tn,
clerks recognized him then, but HI
asked no questions, except to in
quire what time it was, and sooi
wandered out again, apparently al
aimlessly as when he came in.
Mrs. Blaine is slowly recovering
but it will probably be weeks yet be
fore she can be moved in bed, excep
under the influence of chloroform
Her sufferings are still intense, ane
one of the limbs affected by the in
flammatory rheumatism is still il

An orphan asylum for negroes is
being erected at Lynchburg, Virgin
ia. The money for this undertaking
was furnished by the white people of
Virginia and is strong proof of the
kindness and consideration of the
white people of the South for the ne

which should serve to teach the ne
groes that their best and truest

The dcmagogues who go about preac-
hing negro equality, stirring up
strife and making the negro dissat-
isfied with his condition, are the
worst enemies the race has. Such
fellows have no regard for the real

ject is to work upon his passions so
as to secure his vote and boost them
selves into power.

A DESERTER'S CLAIM.
His Widows Application Rejected with
Some telling Remarks.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct CAS-
sistant Secretary Bussey has reject
ed the application for a pension of
sion of Martha Adams, widow of
William Adams. The evidence shows
that Adams enlisted in Company c.
Thirty ninth Kentucky Mounted In
fantry, December 20, 1862, and de-
serted August 10, 1864. On Feb
ruary 8, 1865, he re-enlisted as sub
stitute, and served until honorably
discharged He filed his claim for a
pension, alleging chronic diarrhea
and disease of the breast, and died
while the claim was still pending.
Assistant Secretary Bussey rejects
the claim for want of sufficient proof
and adds:
"a soldier who deserts from the
service-who, while a deserter, re-
enlists as a substitute, and within 8
month goes to the hospital and stays
there until the war is over; who does
not apply for pension until thir
teen years after discharged, and ther
endeavors to establish his claim BY
fraud aud forgery, has certainly MOI
placed himself in favorable aspect

THREE AGAINST ONE.
MONTANA is IN THE DEMOCRATIC
COLUMN.


HELENA, MoNT., October At is
still impossible to definitely deter
mine the result of yesterdays cleo
ton in Montana. Both committees
are claiming the State, but the gen
eral indications seem to be in favor of
the Democrats. Gov. Hauser and
other prominent Democrats say they
are sure of the success of their can
didates for Governor and Congress.
and that they will also have major
ity of the Legislature.
SMALL EITHER WAY
Returns are coming in very slow
and the figures are so close that the
majorities will not be much either
way. The Democrats claim the
State by 300 to 500, and the Bepub-
licans by 600 to 1000. AS Il rule the
Democratic Legislative ticket is
running ahead and a majority is
claimed by both parties. In Wise
and Clarke counties the Democrats
made large gains, but in some of the
others returns show that the gains
have not been to their expectations.
The republicans lost in the Republi-
can counties, but make some gains
in Democratic strongholds.

PUBLISHING DEAD HEADS.
Clothier's Method of Getting Even
With Non.Paying Customers.
Chicago Herald.

Sam Brown, the Dearborn street
clothier and gents furnisher, crea-
ted sensation yesterday. He sus-
pended in his show window pair of
plaid pants and decorated them with
many placards. One of them read
like this: "Why do the newspapers
not jump on the dead beats as they
do on the gamblers?" A business
card was pinned on each leg. One
card was that Of real estate man
and the other that of broker. On
the real estate mans leg was legend
reading: ssThis man ordered this
pair of pants and never called for
them"
On the brokers' leg was this: This
man received a similar pair of pants
and got away with the Doodle"
Another placard read: Publish
the dead beats for the benefit of 9TH
err tailors,'' or something to the same
effect. All day long this display at
tracted the attention of passers-by,
and at no time were there less than
dozen people out in front studying
the placards.
Many and varied we're the com
ments of the crowd on Mr.. Browns
method of shaming people into set
Element, but there was one univer-
sal verdict, and that was: Any man
who would contract for pair OF
pants of such pattern ought GER
tainly to be published. The plaid
employed in the design Of the cloth
could be heard two blocks away.

1t also made rates for passenger and freight
traffic favorable TO the towns of It's own creation
and discriminating against those that had been
in existence before its arrival. This was UNI
doubtedly bad policy, but it was hardly an nm
natural one. 1t was not pursued, either, TO any
considerable extent Though il bore heavily upon
few communities, it by no means justified the
widespread popular resentment which was awai,-
cned in Washington, The feeling for or against the
railroad entered into politics, into business really
into social life The man who permitted himself 10
he branded as friend of the Northern Pacific could
not run for public Office, and was with the greatest
difficulty elected TO the position of vestryman.
The largcr-minded and further-sighted people
were inclined to overlook the sins of the railroad,
knowing they did, that the State depended abso-
lutely upon the Northern Pacific and its success
for every element of prosperity. They suggested
compromises they sought TO alay public feeling;
they made themselves go-between and sought TO
smooth over the ruflled feathers OF the offended
popuace on the one hand, and TO draw in the
menacing horns of the railroad on the other.
This, of course was the right policy, and after
term of years it has succeeded. The railroad IS
today en- much better terms with the people than
it was, and the Constitutional Convention, which
has just adjourned at Olympia, managed to com
plete its work without engaging in open conflict
| with the corporations.
The great railroad problem along all the sub
| sidized routes concerns taxation. Under their
| charters lands granted 10 railroad corporations
| are exempted from territorial taxation. Many
| people say this is unjust; so soon as we buy the
lands of the railroad we are taxed for them; why
| should this corporation be spared burdens which
we must bear? ! shall undertake TO furnish no
| other answer TO this question than may be con
| tanned in the suggestion that tremendous com
| mercial chances were taken by the people who
| furnished the capital wherewth to build these
roads They sunk hundreds of millions before
| they realized penny. and they are realizing
| only pennies to-day. They have made the West
pretty much all that it u.s. and they entitled to
