Cassius or "Cash" Cologne, as he is usually
named, a well known resident of Fauquier
county, Va, recently paid his first visit to
New York. Wishing, unlike so many men,
10 show his thought for ais wife when out of
her sight, he entered a leading dry goods
store for the purpose Of buying dress pat
tern or some such suitable article. Walking
up one of the aisles, he was more than sur
prised to hear some one in the dim distance
loudly yell out CASH"
Naturally surprised, he looked in the drec-
ton whence the voice came, supposing its
owner to be friend or acquaintance, and
that Gotham's proverbial looseness Of habit
permitted this manner of salute. Still he
could see no one that he recognized. Wonder
ing more and more, establishment grew to
boiling point when, as if by a preconcerted
signal, from all quarters of the room came
persistent cries of ''Cash Cash! Cashn This
was more than the Virginian chivalry in the
person Of Mr.. Cologne could bear, and as at
that moment a clerk with a locomotive
whistle voice, standing right back of him,
capped the climax by shouting the name in
his very ear, he turned round and remarked: :
Look here, young fellow; you folks may
think you're having lot of fun with me, but
if you use my name that way again I'll break
your neck"
1t took the proprietor and six floor walkers
half an hour to convince him as to the facts
of the case and that no harm was meant

MARCUS MolLLER THRANE.
Death OF Leader in the European Move
ment Of IAR.

Death of a Leader in the European Move
ment of '48.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 2.-Marcus
Moiller Thrane died here Wednesday at
the age Of ~. He was one of the men
who made history during the republi-
can movement In Europe in 184S. An
aristocrat by birth, nephew of the
prime minister of Norway and bishop of
Riddervold, he declined advancement
under the crown, and originated the
first labor movement, organizing co.
900 workingmen in Norway within a
year, and causing monster petition for
governmental reform to be presented to
King Oscar.
In his newspaper published at Chris
tiania, Thrane advocated republican in
situations for Norway and a European
federative republic in 1850. He was
thrown into prison for his bold assaults
ON monarchial principles and was con-
fined seven years. Ibsen, the dramatist,
then hot-headed youth, was contribu-
tor to Thranes paper, but escaped i'm
prisOnment by cOncealment of his in
cendiary manuscripts just before the Of
fee was seized by the police.
On his release Thrane came to America,
started Scandinavian newspaper in
Chicago and thence came to Eau Claire
to live with his son. Just before he died
he prepared three last requests, which
were that none but outspoken free think
ers attend his funeral that there be no
sermon and that no monument but a
plain iron slab be erected over hisigrave.

How Jockeys Read.

As usual thing the average jockey knows
nothing except horses. At an early age he
trains for the pigskin and has no time to at
tend school. In consequence of this life there
are but few jockeys who are able to read, and
fewer who can read well. But they are in
genious. Down at Sheepshead Bay, for in
stance, the New York morning papers arrive
from the city at an early hour, and after the
Jumpers have been given their morning exer-
else the boys gather near the stables, and the
one who can read takes up the paper and
reads the news He skips the hard words ar
tistically and the listeners understand him
For instance, he goes on like this; Last
Tuesday evening a-water jump-man who
was seen walking down the--water jump
street, and an officer followed him to the
water jump-while he could be kept in sight"
etc, When he reached hard word the
reader simply said water jump" and went
on, Whenever a jockey hears a word he does
not comprehend he calls it "water jump"

Editors Indicted for Libel.

Judge Henry Hilton, who has the
management of the A. I. Stewart
estate, has preferred charges for libel
against Pulitzer, Cockerell, Cham
bers and Graham, editors of the New
York World, and the grand jury has
found bills of indictments against
them. The World has been pub
fishing scurrilous articles, making
shameful, charges against the char
acters of Judge Hilton and A. T.
Stewart. Hilton says he owes it to
the memory of Mr.. Stewart to de-
fend his character, but he cannot
think of Identifying the wanton ira.

cannot afford to go skunk hunting
for pleasure.

PROHIBITION.
General Neal Dow, of Maine, Has
Something to Say
Concerning the Decision of the
Supreme Court.

He Claims 1t is Not In Harmony
with the Previous Utterances of That
August BOdy-The Police Power of the
Several States Entirely Ignored-win
Result in Good, However.
PORTLAND, Me-, May 2.-Gen. Neal
Dow is very much exercised over the de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States with regard to the impor-
tation of liquors in original packages.
He said:
II was much surprised at the decision,
for it was not In harmony with the
previous utterances of the justices of the
supreme court. 1t ignores entirely the
ponce power of the several states, and
the justices of the supreme court have
always recognized that as having full
authority and power in all matters re-
lating to the health, life and morals Of
the people.
"Some of the justices have referred to
the fact that navigation and commerce
are interfered with, and at times abso-
lutely stopped, by the quarantine regu-
lations, even of cities by the local police
power. Not only are ships stopped, but
their crews and passengers are held for
days and, even for weeks. The owners
of the ships are put to large expense,
not only by the detention of their YES
sells, but for fumigation.
"The local police power may seize the
entire infected cargo of q ship and de-
stroy it, The local authorities prevent
cattle, II sick with infectious disease,
from being brought into the state, or if
such cattle are brought in they may be
killed. The local authorities may arrest
passengers, whether by land or sea, if
sick of contagious disease, and put
them in hospitals or isolate them in a
pest house. In short, the police au-
thorities may do whatever the local
power deems necessary for the protec-
ton of the health, life and morals of the
people, and to secure the good order of
society, and this right has always been
recognized by the supreme court of the
United States. But this decision of the
majority of the members of the supreme
court ignores entirely the great cOntroll-
ing principle. This will lead to one very
good result. Congress will now feel
itself compelled to concede all the powers
needed to the states"

Pattsrson's State Debt Policy.

The State press is very generally
discussing Mr.. Patterson's State debt
policy. He proposes to refund the
s, 81 and per cent. bonds at A per
cent. which will amount to a saving
of about $25, 900 a year in interest.
This is no new idea. 1t was cOntem-
plated in the settlement, and not a
bad one if the financed condition and
credit of the State were such as to
make itpossible.
These bonds, it is true, are a little
above par. The fact that the State
has borrowed the money and paid
the interest promptly, has placed
such securities at a small premium,
lndT r1TC faCr TINT tire state has not
been able to meet its interest without
borrowing has kept them at a very
low margin. Certainly six per
cent Tennessee bond with the inter-
est promptly paid, ought to be worth
as much rs a United States per
cent. bond, but it is not. The latter
is quoted at 122 cents on the dollar,
while Tennessee 6's are quoted at
10S, 81 at 1913, Us at 100 and 3's at
73 to rs cents. The difference is,
that the State has been borrowing
money, creating large floating debt
to meet the interest and there is no
knowing how long the State will
continue in this way. She may fail
after a while to borrow money lis
about the way bond dealers reason
ON such matters) and then the profits
would be lost.
Uncle Jasiah is a little too previ-
Gus on this question, and that is all
the trouble there is about it. 1t
would be better if he was as clear and
out-spoken on other important issues.
What Tennessee wants is a governor
of undOuted financial ability with
strong views and the courage to
speak out, giving the people and the
legislature line of policy calculated
to discharge the floating debt and
place the revenues on basis to meet
the interest promptly. In the pres
ent situation of our finances, it is
idle to talk about borrowing money
at four per cent. to take up these
bonds, for holders would not will
ingly surrender them and take tours
in their stead without being forced,
and such action would reopen the
State debt agitation and lead to
worse condition of affairs. We need
governor with strong spinal col
umn and good deal of veto compo-
sition in his make up, to set down on
jobs and lead on II line Of rigid
economy to reach the point Uncle
Josiah is driving at.

Sickness Among Animals.

Animals are very subject TO worms,
and while such worms exist in them
they cannot thrive, the food that should
strengthen and nourish the animal is
absorbed by the worms; hence, the ami
NAL will have good appetite and still
continually grow poor. To obviate this
difficulty, give them frequent doses of

When William N. Spear, of Rockland, lost
both arms in a lime rock quarry all the sur
geons and other specialists said there was no
way of making an artificial arm that could
be manipulated by the unfortunate man so
that he could feed himself, as his arms were
amputated near the shoulder. Two of his
fellow workmen, WILDER G. Ulmer and Tim.
othy E. Mcnamara, did not giveup SO easily,
but determined, if there was no other way to
find arms for Mr.. Spear, they would make
them themselves. Accordingly they set to
work, end with no better tools than jack
knife, handsaw, file, ETC., they not only made
two arms with which Mr.. Spear feeds himself
and does many other things, but have also
got out patent on the invention, by which
1t is to be hoped they will make lots of money

An Infamous Conspiracy.

The infamous, revolutionary con-
spiracy being developed all along
under the leadership of Quay and
Reed has been brought to light and
reveals one of the most damnable
plots ever attempted in our govern
ment. Quay, who stands charged
as thief, is chairman of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee, and is
chief party manager. He lays his
plans, dictates legislation and the ap-
pointment of his tools to office by
the President, and bosses things gen
orally.

tary, Frank w. Leach, became very
