illinois men men objected to this and
would have Norman or withdraw.
It was finally decided to call the book
Percheron-Norman, and 1t went by
tits name till their next meeting in
November 1883, when it was called
tie Percheron Stud Book of America.
This change was made because there
were no horses in France known as
Normans, and because the French gov.
eminent had in July 1888, published
the first volume of the "Percheron
Stud Book Of France" and ever since
this Imported horses must be register.

formed the "NatioDal Norman Horse
Association" and began the publica.
ton of the "National Register of
Norman Horses" with the simple rule
that "Any horse imported from France
is eligible to registration" Mark this
well. 1t caused inscriptions men to
import all horses they could buy cheap
and sell them as registered Normans.
1t is said that the Paris Omnibus Co.
had three thousand stations in their
employ, and at one time had one thou
sand in their hotpital, laid up with
strains, bruises and various ailments,
which were bought up by Americana
at low figurers. registered something
like this: Jean La Blank; No. 4-l1.44,
Vol. II. National Register of Norman
Horses" The whole west was flooded
with them.
So rotten did This become that in
November 1883, it was voted that
after January 1, 1854, "No imported
horses should be registered that was
not previously registered in the Nor
man Stud Book of France" But as
there never was any such stud book in
existance, and as no such breed of
draft horses as Normans is recognized
in France, the absurdity of this regu-
lation was so apparent that at their
meeting in November 1884, this action
was recinded, and the society resolved
to ignore all French stud books and
pedigrees, and decided to base registra.
ton as formerly, upon the simple fact
of importation.
After flooding the west with all the
culls of France that had no special
breeding this association died q natural
death, and there is now no "National
Register of Norman Horse" on the
face of the earth.
This is why we cannot grade up by
using a registered Norman, and is the
cause Of the fall in terms from $40 to
insure, to SIS.
A black registered Percheron can
not be bought and stood for less than
$50. without loss, and farmers who
wish to encourage good horses should
remember this.
See if you can find an advertisement
of a prominent importer offering Nor
mans for sale, or any fair association
giving class to NOrmans at the
present day.

Mr. Durburow, the unknown, had very
comfortable majority over his doubling

most Unexpectedly, and whose friends are
now asking him how it al happened, is Mr.
Rowell, also of Illinois. Rowell has been
in congress a long time, and has risen to
responsible Craftsmanship, that of the COM
mittee on elections. He had big majority
back of him and never doubted his re-elec-
ton. The opposition had no hopes of beat

struggling weekly paper printed there
nominated its editor for congress. The
editor, young and very poor MN, thought
as long Us the compliment had haen paid
him he would make the most of 10 and get
as much advertising out of it as he could
for his paper. So he went about the dis
trict night after night making speeches,
or rather plain talks. to the farmers Elec-
ton day arrived, and when the votes were
counted, to the great surprise of the young
editor, he had a nice majority over the ia

stepped up and began abusing Jenkins,
applying to him all the epithets he could

see a fight, but jenkins edged toward the
door and sneaked out. An hour later the
senator and his friend were in the Office of

how Sam Johnson had come up TO him as

DINING With VICTORIA.
The Highest Social Honor la England Is n
Dull Affair.


Dull Affair.
Dining with the Queen is a great
honor, remarks an English journal. OF
course, full court dress must be worn by
the ladies; the gentlemen either wear
their court dress or tho Windsor uniform,
which is really an ordinary dress coat,
faced and cuffed with red silk, and
adorned with gilt buttons, instead Of the
ordinary black ones.
The guests assemble beforehand in
, waiting Balmoral this is called
the ante-room, but at Windsor the grand
corridor is used for this purpose. They
range themselves in two rows-the ladies
on one side and the gentlemen on the
other-and the persons OF highest rank
are placed furthest from the door at
which the Queen will enter. About 9
o'clock the Queen appears, and when she
has received the situations of her guests
she passes down between the two rows
to the door of the state dining-room, and
goes straight into dinner.
The guests join in couples and follow
her. During dinner there is very little

themselves in whispers, for it is not ac-
cording to etiquette to speak loud. From
time to time the Queen speaks to some
one OF her guests, but as it is not proper
to disagree with her there is naturally
not very much done in the way of con-
versation between her Majesty and her
subjects. Dinner usually lasts for an
hour or so, after which the whole party
adjourns TO the drawlng.room. Here
the Queen makes few remarks to each
guest in turn, which the latter replies TO
suitably, and without the smallest trace
OF originality.
This ended, the Queen returns to her
private apartments, and the dinner party
is ended. 1t must be added, however,
that dull as these entertainments are

BOY TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.
Their Incompetency Offset by the Fact
That They Are Cheap.
Railway TelegraDhar

The boy telegrapher, by general YER
dict of the public, must give way to the
man. Experience has clearly de-
monstrated the fact that it requires
something besides a mere knowledge of
the technical formation Of the Geographic
alphabet and the ability to trauscribe
a transmitted message from the tele-
graph that emergencies frequently arise
requiring the exercise of mature judy
ment and an active mind In order to
avert the loss of life and property, and
that the boy telegrapher is not possessed
of these necessary qualifications.
In recent accident caused by the
boy telegrapher closing his head" to
use a common expression. resulting in
the loss of life and great destruction,
the evidence at the coroner's inquest
established the fact that the boy, not
seventeen years of age, received COM
pensation OF $50 per month. No rea-
sonable person could expect that any de-
gree OF competency could be purchased
for such price. The same rule holds
in the employment of labor as in the pur-
chase OF merchandising procure good
article you must pay good price. Cheap
prices procure shoddy goods.

AFFAIRS OF RAILROADS.
The Date Fixed for the Meeting OF Rail-
road Presidents.
New York Times.

New York Times.
The much-talked-of meeting of railroad
presidents, which Jay Gould has striven
so earnestly to bring about, will be held
in this city one week from tomorrow.
probably at the residence Of j. Pierpont
Morgan. The indications are that there
will he large attendance and some diff
ferences of opinion. Dir. G. p. Hunting
ton. it is believed, will suggest some
amendments to the plan outlined by Mr..
Gould.
MIR. Gould said Saturday that in view
OF the increase in rates recently agreed
upon by the western railroads, and in
view Of the probable outcome of the
meeting of presidents here, he regarded
the prospects Of the western roads, par
ticularly the Union Pacific, as being bet
ter than for long time past. Mr..
Gould, President Dillon, and Russell
Sage say that they have been looking
into the condition of the Union Pacific's
affairs for several days, and that they
find it much better than has been repre-
scented. Sidney Dillon yesterday denied
emphatically tine rumors that the road
was likely 70 go into the hands of re-
ceiyer.
Mr.. Frederick l.. Ames, Of Boston,
was in this city Saturday and conferred
with Jay Gould about Union Pacific
railroad affairs. Provision is being made
to pay off about $500, 900 OF the float
ing debt on January lst, and it is as
serted that Mr.. Gould has agreed to find
the funds necessary to take care of the
entire floating debt as fast as it natures.
Mr.. s. II. II. Clark says it is not true
that he has been offered the position of
general manager of the Union Pacific
railroad.
