Untempered Mortar.

At the nations capital, some time
ago, there stood a magnificent church
rapidly approaching completion. 1t
was to cost more than 100000. 1t
had all the modern improvements it
was decorated most deliberately. Its
browning adornment was a massive
tower one hundred fifty feet high,
overlapping all other buildings, pub
lie or private, anywhere near. But
in the dead of night there came
crash, a shock as of an earthquake,
and in the morning the passers-by be-
held what had been the tower shape
less mass of ruins, and the church a
shattered pile. Why was this? 1t
was because that which seemed
mass of solid masonry was only a
thin veneeriIg of hewn blocks filled
in with loose stone, and the whole
cemented with defective mortar. In
the same city, and alas in many
other cities, have there been such ca
tastrophes among men-collapses of
character, laying in the dust the fair
fame of a previous lifetime of hon
est, useful, even Christian living;
men hitherto prominent in churches
and Sunday Schools sent to the pen
itentiary, or, worse, living in dis
graceful exile across the border.
How much greater calamity than
any mere wreck of matter is the crash
of character, the destruction of that
which should be immortal And in
the great majority of cases the cause
of the calamity, the fatal defect has
been the same-has been the unsound
filing in, the little dishonest acts of
daily life, and the lack of that prin-
ciple of integrity, upright and down
right-that nice sense, not only of
honesty but of honor, which must
ever serve as the cement in the up
building of every man who has char
acter worthy the name.-Nea0 York

LIQUOR AND LUNACY.-The Univer-
sity of Vienna has added to the list
of her eminent professors the alienist
DR.. Krafft-Ebing, of Gratz, who to
his profound knowledge adds clear
ness of literary style that would have
ensured him eminence in belles-lett1es-
In his opening lecture on mental dis
eases he stated that sixty per cent
of all cases of insanity inherited a
predisposition from their ancestors.
In twenty per cent. or all cases in
temperance is found to be the sole or
chief cause, and in thirty per cent
more, one of the causes of mental
disease. He advised legal measures
to combat the habit of intemperance,
or the formation of societies to coun-
teract it.

A NOBLE EXAMPLE.-Dr. Horatius
Bonar was total abstainer, and this
story is told concerning the event
which led him to take the pledge /:
The head of family in his congre-
cation was addicted to drink, and the
doctor advised him to abstain. ssHave
you taken the pledge?" inquired the
poor man. DR.. Bonar went immedi-
ately, hunted up pledge, signed it,
and returned to say to his unfortunate
parishioner +: stYey, have signed the
pledge for your sake Some men
insist on the right to drink moderate
ly, and refuse to commit themselves
to total abstinence lest they should
lose fragment of their rights and
their freedom. But do they owe moth
ing by way of example to the weak
est and most needy class of human
beings? To stand stubbornly on ones
rights in case like this, and at a
time like the present, is an effectual
way to break the bruised reed and
quench the smoking fiax.-Christian

strawberry Plants.

Perhaps it is best to mulch the plants
because the winter may be an open
.one. If snow covers the plants early
and lies on all winter then there will
be no need of mulching. There is
one kind of mulching that can be put
onto the plants and it will prove
benefit, let the weather be what it
NAV, and that is coarse horse manure,
and you have mulching and a fer
tilizer. Hemlock and pine boughs
make good mulch; just cover the
plants so that you cannot see them.
To be safe new beds should be mulch
ed, but if you use a mulching that
will pack down tightly and the snow
should become deep there is danger
of the plants being smothered and
killed. We have known a number of
cases of this kind. Old beds might
be left to chance as it is not often
that plants are injured on such beds.
The danger is greater where the land
land is quite wet through the winter.
Plants are not apt to live where the
ice is formed. In our experience of
% wears our losses have been very
small by plants winter killing when
not mulched. But do not trust to
our advice fully. Study your own
soil and learn by experience, what IS
best to do. The man who has mind
of his own is the one to succeed. He
will have a mind to cultivate straw

The details of experiments at the
agricultural stations are of little in

of them they are as unintelligible as

giving bare facts and indicating their
practical bearing or application, would
be more popular and useful.

Does Warming Water Pay.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
publishes the resul; of a series of eX-
periments in warming water for COWS.
This is the result:
|. While on warm water they gave
on the average / ID. of milk per cow
per day more than while on cold wa
ter, or 6H per cent. of the genera
average daily yield of 16 lbs.
2. They drank on the average, dali
", while on cold water, 63 lbs, but
while on warm 20 lbs. or 10 lbs. per
cow more.
5. They ate more while on warm
water than while on cold, and at the
rate of ) lbs. of corn fodder per COW
per day.
4. An increase in the amount OF
water drank was coincident with an
increase in the quantity of milk given,
and this was true irrespective OF
whether the water was warm or cold !;
an increase of 10 lbs, in every lO0
lbs. of water drank being accompa-
MED by an increase of l 10. in every
100 lbs. of milk given, nearly.
5. They consumed solid food, while
on warm water, at the rate of IA
lbs. for each pound of milk produced,
and while on cold water at the rate
of 1.5S lbs. for each pound of milk
given.
6. An increase in the amount OF
water drank, when the temperature
of the water remained the same, was
associated with an increase in the
amount of water in the milk without
a notable increase in the total solids
contained.
7. An increase in the temperature
of the water drank, rather than an in
crease in the quantity of it, was asso-
ciated with an increase in the total
amount of solids produced.
s. There was daily fluctuation In
the percentage of water in the milk
association with fiuctuation in the
amount of water drank.
8. Five cows manifested strong
preference for water at 20 degrees
over that of AZ degrees, but one of
the COWS showed an even stronger
liking for the iced water.
10. With but one exception the
COWS, while they ate less and drank
less during the cold water periods,
weighed more at their close and, with
but three exceptions, they weighed
less at the close of the warm water
periods.
IL. With butter at zoe per b.,
skinned milk at 25c per cwt., corn
fodder at So per ton, and the cost of
warming water for 40 COWS 120 days
at So, the results obtained from the
COWS on the experiment indicate that
a net gain of s2136 would be real
lied on a herd of 40 cows averaging
16 lbs. of milk per cow per day, and
at least SO on herd of 20, and So
on a herd of 10 cows. Counting corn
fodder at SO per ton, the net gain
on a herd of 40 COWS would still be
SPAS.
The american Garden says of this
that it is worth while noticing that
though nearly all the COWS made a
gain of milk and butter on warm wa
ter, at the same time some of it
proved of exceptional nature and re-
versed the rule. This is fact that
all enquirers into the nature of COWS
discover that there are exceptional
cases that set all rules at defiance.
The general rule, however, probably
holds as set forth above.

BADLY CUT WITH A RAZOR.

BoSToN, Mass, Oct. 26.-This afternoon
John l.. Sullivan and party of followers
among whom were Tommy Kelly. the ex-
champion feather weight and Tommy
Shea made the rounds of the south end
saloons, finally bringing up in the barber
shop of William Hogarty, % Dover street.
Shea who was considerably under the in
fiuence of liquor, had attempted several
times to engage Sullivan in conversation
upon matters he did not care to discuss
and had been told to desist. After reach
ing the barber shop, Sullivan seated him
self in the chair for a shave. when Shea
again began his talk. Kelly then inter
ferred, whereupon Shea made an insulting
remark to the former, who quickly seized
a razor and with swinging blow inflicted
n terrible wound under Shea's left esr.
One John Ryan Immediately grabbed kel-
ly and flung him into the street and
raised Shea into a chair and stopped the
flow of blood as well as he could. Sulli-
van walked out of the place, entered cab
and drove away. The police were notified
at once and Shea was taken to the hospital
When Kelly was put out of the shop. he
was advised TO give himself up and acting
upon this advice, accompanied by Joe
l1anpen, he went 10 Station 5 and sur
rendered. Kelly was then taken to the
hospital and was readily identified by
Shea as the man who had assaulted him.
Shea's wound is considered extremely
dangerous

ACTUAL WAR Between RAILROADS.

AZ OhG WAN Dc WEN hHiIhOHOS.
GAINESVILLE, O., Oct. 26.-The GAINESVILLE
& Ohio railroad yesterday sent a crew of
men to Shawnee Junction, where Shawnee
& Muskingum railroad connects with the
GAINESVILLE & Ohio railroad. Soon after
their arrival Shawnee s. Muskingum
railroad locomotive arrived and ran into
the depot, No sooner had this been done
than the crew from GAINESVILLE sprang on
the engine. bound and gagged the engineer
and carried him mile into the country in
the woods. They then mounted the en-
CINE and came with all speed to this city,
killed it and locked it in the GAINESVILLE
& Ohio round house. After freeing him
self the engineer Immediately telegraphed
the facts TO the officials of the
road at this city. These officials
secured posse of policemen and went to
the GAINESVILLE s. Ohio round house, but
found that the engine was disabled.
When the police started out of the round
house they found themselves prisoners.
The GAINESVILLE & Ohio employees had
locked them in and there they remained
for about an hour until the chief of police
came round and released them. The
trouble arises from the fact that the
Shawnee * Muskingum road has been
throwing its coal business TO the Toledo s.
Ohio Central and not to the GAINESVILLE s.
Ohio. The GAINESVILLE & Ohio people claim
that they furnished the money that paid
for the engine and are therefore entitled to
it. There is considerable excitement and
both reads have heavy force on guard.

HERCUuEAN STRENGTH,

Continually on the strain. or overtaxed
at intervals, is far less desirable than or
binary vigor perpetuated by rational diet
and exercise. and abstention from excess.
Professional pugilists and athletes rarely
attain extreme old age. As ordinary vigor
may be retained by wise regard for sani-
tary living, and for protection against
disease which timely and judicious medi-
cation affords, so also it may be lost
through prolonged sendentary labor unin-
terrupted mental strain, and foolish eating
and drinking, the chief and most immedi-
ate sequence of all four being dyspepsia.
For this condition thus, or in any way ill.,
duced, and nerve power, Hos,etters
Stomach Btters is the primest and most
genial of remedies. Not only indigestion,
but loss of flesh, appetite and sleep are
remedied by it. 1ncipient malaria and
rheumatism are banisned, and kidney,
bowel and liver complaint removed by it.

ONCE MORE CAPTURED.
Tascott Captured at Philadelphia-sus-
picions Almost Confirmed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 26.-There are
no further developments this morning in
the case of the man arrested at Reading,
Pa, yesterday and brought here to answer
She charge of passing forged checks, and
whom the detectives believe to be Tascott.
the murderer of Millionaire Smell at Chica-
20. Up to ii o'clock this morning Chief
Detective Wood had received no reply
from the Chicago police authorities to his
telegram of last night announcing the ar
rest and stating that the prisoner an
swered infinitely the description of the no.
torious murderer Chief Wood said the
prisoner will probably be given formal
hearing later in the day on the charge Of
forgery. In the meantime the chief awaits
advces from the Chicago officials.
In the dispatch sent to the Chicago au-
thorities last night Chief Wood asked if
there was anyone here who could identify
Tascott. A telegram came this afternoon
from the chief of police of Chicago saying
that no one in Philadelphia knew Tascott
and requesting that photograph of the
man under arrest be mailed ut once. He
was accordingly photographed and the
picture will be mailed tonight. Chief
Wood was closeted with the suspected
murderer along while today. After few
preliminary questions the young man was
asked point blank if he was not Tascott.
He is said to have colored preceptiblye and
then he denied in half hearted
sort of way that he was not
that notorious person. Since his inter-
view with the prisoner Chief Wood is
more than ever convinced that the man is
none other than the murderer for whose
capture reward of $4,000 is offered.
CHICAGO. ILL.,, Oct. 26.-Chief-of-Police
Hubbard was shown the associated press
dispatch from Philadelphia in regard to
the man under arrest there, supposed to
Tascott, the murderer of Millionaire
Smell of Chicago The chief said that he
would await the arrival of the photograph
of the suspected man which had been
mailed, before sending man to identify
the prisoner.
The man suspected of being Tascott had
preliminary hearing before Il ommitting
magistrate this afternoon on charge of
forgery. He gave his name as Albert
Sutherland and his residence as Chicago,
which city he said he left last January.
When asked what he did for living, he
colly replied, Il stea.'
Upon Chief Woods statement that the
mau might be wanted on a more serious
charge, the magistrate held him in So |
600 bonds. The chief had another long
talk with the prisoner this afternoon and |
found out he knew all about Tascout, being |
fully acquainted with Tascott's career |
He declares he will not go to Chicago if he |
can help it.

THE cRoNIN TRIAL.

CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 26.-The Cronin trial
was resumed at the usual hour this morn
ing. The first witness was County Physi-
clan Todd. He testified that only DR.. Egg
bert his assistant and himself had the
combination on the vault in which the
plate with the false teeth taken from DIR.
Cronin's mouth were kept. He CDR. Todd
had not entered the vault since Dr. Gro
Minis death. DIR. H. G. Moore, who was
present at the autopsy, was called and de-
scribed the wounds aid marks of identifi-
cation of the body.
After Mr.. Moore had testified at great
length ard minuteness as to the wounds
on DR.. Cronin's body, the defense moved
to exclude his testimony on the ground
that he had read the verbatim report of
the trial made by the Associated Press in
this mornings papers, which gave the en-
tire testimony of DR.. Egbert.
the livery stable keeper. He testified to
the facts in regard to the hiring of a horse
and buggy from him by Dan Couglin, one
OF the prisoners, on the day that DR.. Gro
min was murdered substantially as they
have heretofore been published. The wit
ness said that Coughlin told him he
wanted the horse for a friend. This is the
buggy and white horse which carried DR..
Cronin to the Carlson cottage where he
was murdered. Oman continued by say
Ing that stranger came at about that
evening and asked for the horse which
Coughlin had hired for him. He was
given the white horse. The stranger OBJ
Jected and asked for another but the wit
ness refused to give him another. Then
the stranger wanted the side curtains
OF the buggy put on, but Oman told him it
was dark and that no body could recog-
nize him if he wished to be disguised. The
stranger grumbled little but got into the
buggy and drove north. or in the direc-
ton of Conkling's house, where Dr. Gro
min lived. The witness had not seen the
man since. On the following morning
early policeman came to his stable to
know whether or not he had let any one
have white horse the night before Wit
ness suspected something wrong, went to
the police station and there he met Dan |
Coughlin who cautioned him to say moth |
ing about his (Coughlin's) having hired |
the horse the day before because it was |
known he and Cronin were not good |
friends and it might get him (Coughlin) |
into trouble.
After Il long and severe cross examina-
tion of Oman by Mr.. Forrest, of counsel |
for the defense, in which the witness was |
not at all confused, the court adjourned |
until Monday morning
