Rev. DR.. Collins, the State Secretary, OF for
Johnstown TO Organize.
Rev. DR.. Collins, of Allegheny, Secretary
of the State Constitutional Temperance
Amendment (non-partisan) Association,
went to Johnstown yesterday afternoon to
meet the other officers of the association,
and arrange for general State convention of
all friends and temperance associations in
the State. This society has been quietly
but busily at work for seven years in an en-
tirely non-partisan way, and has done much,
with the W. T. c. q. and others, to bring
about the present climax in the State.
So intensely non-partisan are some of
their officers that they oppose meeting in
Harrisburg. lest they be misunderstood.
There is strong pressure now to meet
there.
The object of the coming convention is to
unite all parties and organize the State for
victory in June. There will be no strife
over leader. He will come to the front
and be recognized as soon as needed.

Der case, recently reported to Mrs. Mair,
Of a girl who, after being left by the Humane
Society at a saloon in Allegheny, was per-
mitted to be taken in sad condition to the
County Hospital. Mrs. Mair reported the
the case because, as a member of the State
Board of Charities, she had investigated it
and believed Tito De true. Now the Humane
Society denies the "saloon" allegation, on
the ground that the person keeping the
boarding house alluded to did not get
license last spring to continue the sale of
drinks.
The society further promises to clear its
skirts entirely of the charges which Mrs.
Mair Investigated, and which, by the way,
were only published, without names, and
not originated by, The DISPATCH.

ing to commit suicide He is single man
and has been drinking heavily for several
days. Yesterday he declared that his
mother and sisters were not giving him "a
square deal, and he did not care to live.
He took caseknife, and, going into a
room on the second floor, attempted to end
his existence by cutting his throat. He
made bad job Of it, however, and only
succeeded in drawing blood.
The officers of patrol station No. were
notified and took the young man to the
lookup. He was thoroughly saturated with
the crimson fluid when he arrived, and as
he did not seem to be seriously injured he
was placed in cell. As soon as the door
was locked, he drew pipe from his pocket
and began to smoke. He said he was sorry
that his attempt at suicide was failure.
City Physician Woodburn was called
and examined the wound. He pronounced
it serious, but not necessarily fatal, and
had the patient removed to the Allegheny
General Hospital.

That He Made the Steel Too Hard-Why

Tests are now being made on the rem
nants of Pittsburg's Inflated steel gun. Su-
perintendent Hainsworth, of the Hainsworth
Casting Company, under whose supervision
the gun was cast, has charge of the tests.
He was seen at his office on the corner of
Twenty-sixth and Railroad streets yester.
day.
"The tests, he said, "are not vet COM
pleted, but enough has been discovered to
reveal wherein the fatal defects lie. 1 made
the steel in the breech of the gun too hard,
and this was the fatal weakness. The tests
have made of the trunnion of the
gun show that the steel was tough
and would stand severe tests. The breech
of the gun I hardened twice, instead Of only
once, as / had the trunnion, and, in en-
deavoring to make the gun strong, 1 over

have learned that much at least. 1 do not
think will ever attempt to make another
gun. am too busy at present to make the

A CRAZY SOLDIERS PENSION.

Get $50 Per Month.

Ellen McTiernan, keeper of James Nc
Tiernan, who became insane while in the
military service of the Government during
the rebellion, has received the first pay
ment on the latter's pension. The
back pay has been accumulating since
1864. When insanity disabled him
McTiernan was discharged. He recovered
and subsequently re-enlisted. The matter
became so complicated that it was with
difficulty that his case was made out. He
had rational periods, however, and during
these he succeeded finally in furnishing
information that straightened out the
tangles.
The amount paid Miss McTiernan by the
pension Office was $6,176 80, and she will
continue to receive $50 per month.
James McTiernan is a son of the old
gentleman so we'll known for many years
as bookkeeper in the County Controllers
Office.

When, at Democratic primary in the

He proposed an amendment substituting j.

Under storm of cries this amendment was

Insinuations were freely made that the
meeting was sold to the Republicans with
pocketful of money, and there was lively
time generally. The rest of the business

The Winter Dairy.

Any enterprise out of the common,
but well managed, and having for its
object some product in staple demand,
is certain to be profitable. Rearing early
lambs for spring sales is such an enter
prise; forcing strawberries, the cutting
of watercress, and many other special
products, have all realized satisfactory
profits. But the winter dairy is an in.
dustry in which staple product is pro-
duced at season when it is scarce and
rarely of good quality, and when every
part of the accessory farm work can be
done more easily and cheaply than at
any other time. Cows have to be fed in
winter anyhow; the dairy calls for much
indoor work; it is easier to keep the
milk warm in this season than to cool it
in summer; there is leisure from field
work, which presses N the summer
good butter brings double price in win

Good-by, old COW, you've got TO go,
OF course tits hard to tell you so,
For your forefathers and my own
For ages this old farm have known
You're lank and fabby-to be brief,
You're fit for neither milk nor beef;
You yield but little at your best,
And then go dry six months to rest.
Your horns are long, your bones the same.
Too little meat for such a frame,
With stomach large and udderS small,
The different parts don't match at all
/ looked at you with sad regret
And mourned TO think we ever met,
For every wrinkle in your horn
Proclaims OF wasted hay and corn.
My neighbor farmers live with ease,
While l wear patches on my knees;
The reason simple, plain and true
They've kept good stock, while l kept you.
Such common scrubs no more I'll feed,
Henceforth I'll try better breed;
plainly see my error now
You've got to go-good-by, old cow!

The convenient modern improvements OF
the dairy are we'll adapted for winter

the season when the cheaper fuel can be
used for warmth easier than the dearer
ice for the purpose of cooling. For
feeding cows in a winter dairy there is
no better food than clover hay, well
cured corn fodder. and corn meal and
bran. There is too much risk in feeding
silage or sacrificing the quality OF the
butter. The stable must be warm, light,
airy, and arranged so as to secure perfect
cleanliness. Pure water from a we'll and
never to be given cooler than fifty de-
2rees, is indispensable. Some succulent
food is:desirable. Pumpkins are spec
tally useful in winter dairy, and
mangels are the best roots. Turnips are
not admissible. To warm the water is
waste of labor when a good deep well is
available: good feeding and robust
health will keep the COWS warm enough,
but the stable should never be so cold
that the manure will freeze in it. Card

vital warmth. -Neto York Tribune.
