Simple Justice. Correction of SANDER,
From the Daily Bee.l
This is to certify that we EXCHANGED the I'D
right piano we had with Mr.. John F. Cooper for
one OF his new style J. MATHUSHEK upright
pianos. The reason we did so was because in
the upright we had all the tuning pins had
pulled down against the thin iron plates which
gave thin, harsh, tin-panny sound which
could not be remedied. Mr.. Cooper now has the
piano, in exactly the same condition it was
when 1t left our house, statements to the con-
tIary notwithstanding by the agent OF another
piano, whose instrument is made similar to our
INST piano. w. S. DAVIS

Kerosene in the Poultry Yard.

the many uses that kerosene may be
put to in the poultry yard make it an al
most Indispensable article to be charged
to the expense account, and no other arti-
Gle will so enhance the profit of the
poultry yards as kerosene diligently and
intelligently used. For painting the in
side of nest boxes for sitting hens there
is nothing equal to it, as it surely kills
all vermin with which it comes in con-
tact, and prevents other vermin from en-
tering the nest until it is entirely evapo-
rated, which, if the crude oil is used, will
give the hen ample time to hatch her
brood. A few drops in the drinking
water occasionally has good effect upon
the general health of the flock, and for
colds or roup there is nothing better if
carefully applied. Scaly legs may be
cured by simply wetting the legs of the
fowls affected occasionally, and the crude
oil is best in this case also, as it takes a
much longer time to evaporate. When
the crude oil is not readily obtained,
some kind Of heavy oil or grease should
be mixed with the kerosene to stay evap-
grafton. AS remedy for cholera it has
been highly recommended, according to
correspondent in Fancier's Review.

Now that a good many OF our readers

come amiss.
When eggs are received. after travelling
some distance on the cars, they should not
be unpacked from twenty -four to thirty
six hours, but left in a cool placeto settle
and they will hatch great deal better.
In buying eggs of new varieties, you
must expect some off chicks, and, per-
haps majority it takes good many
years of careful breeding, with variety
originating from the cross, to make them
hatch true to color; and old, we'll estab-

lished breeds will frequently sport; that
is if, white fowl and it's ancestors were
colored you may find black feathers oc-
casionalIy SO don't say you are cheat
ed, and did not get what you bargained
for, for the most careful breeders have
this to contend with. Then if the eggs
do not all hatch the fault may not be in
the eggs, for there are many reasons why
they do not hatch. Some hens have not
enough heat in their body to make
successful hatch Others are such per-
sistent settlers that they cause the eggs
to spoil before it is time for them to
hatch; and frequent cause is the hen
gets so covered with vermin, that she
can not stay on the nest long enough at
a time to keep the eggs at the proper

HOW to Make an Egg Tester.

Take o piece of leather five inches wide
and six inches long. Now bring the
edges together with the dark side Of
leather inside) and sew them, and it is
ready for use. Take the egg to be
tested, hold it up to a bright light, place
the eye at the other end and you see ex-
actly what condition the egg is in. l
like this the best of any tester have
seen, as the leather adjusts itself to the
egg SO as to exclude all the light. Anoth-
en- good point in its. favor is that there is
no danger Of breaking the egg by acct
dentally letting the tester fall OF by strik
ing the egg against it.

Leghorns, Hamburghs, the various
branches of the game family, and Ply

well but have had no experience will
them. In any case | would say buy
thorough bred birds, not mongrels, yor
will feel more pleasure in them, and il you
wish for cross-bred fowls breed from two
thoroughbred stocks, not from mongrels
in the former case you will gain in con
stitution, etc., in the latter you may get
"scrub" things, but cannot improve
We shall have more to say on this sub
ject hereafter.
Being intent on getting as much pleas
ure out of my hobby as possible l had
made up my mind to choose one particu-
lar breed and keep to it, improving them
as much as possible and exhibiting choice
specimens at poultry shows. TO this
end I visited many Of the best exhibit
tons, among others the great national
poultry show at the Crystal Palace
(England). / was much struck by the
grandeur of the mammoth Buff Cochils,
and although never considering them
good layers, their eggs being very small,
and broodiness being their great weak
ness, still my yard being small 1 deter
mined to start with them. They were my
first choice in Clancy fowls" and to this
day have great liking for them, they
are grand birds, very hardy, grow rapid
ly are not quarrelsome, they do not eat
so much food as they look as if they
ought to, and yet they keep in
good condition, perhaps the contented
mind which is Ga continual FEAST &C
counts for this, moreover thehens are the
best of mothers.
There is in London a large auction
room known as "Stevens" where once a
week during the winter season large
quantities of fancy poultry are sold.
They are mostly the surplus stock OF the
great poultry fanciers in all parts of the
country, who exhibit their birds at the
various shows. They are obliged to
breed many more than they require be-
cause it is only "here and there that
one can get really choice specimens fit to
show, and in the fall the breeder deter
mines which he will keep, culls out the
remainder and sends them to stevens
where he usually gets far better than
killing price for them. This offers good
opportunities for amateurs to get really
good birds of known pedigree alta moder-
ate price, and here would say, do not
buy extravagantly high priced birds, or
you will probably be disappointed in the
results (for am assuming that you will
wish to improve your stock whether for
exhibition or not) the great breeder OF
whom you purchase has done his best
and depend upon it that is a great deal
better than your best will be for long
time, you are not SO likely to improve as
to degenerate your stock. Whereas if
you get some reasonably good birds to
start with you stand good chance of
getting progeny among which you will
find some that are better than their
parents.

VIM. bartholomew Hanged for Murder a
Easton, Pa.

At Easton, Pa, William Bartholomew
was hanged for murder.
He was pronounced dead in fifteen
minutes. He refused to eat any break
fast or to dress, and was hanged in his
prison suit. His last words were dcclar-
ations of his innocence, mixed with
curses and blasphemy and demands that
his paramour and Detective johnson be
also hanged.
Bartholomew was convicted OF the
murder of Aaron w. billiard Friday
morning, Sept. 6, 1882, The crime was
at first involved In mystery. Mrs. Dill
liard's story was that she had been
aroused by noise at the chicken coop
and had sent her husband TO learn the
cause when he was fatally shot by some
unknown person. Suspicion soon set
tied upon Bartholomew, who had for
years been intimate with Mrs. Dill
lard and he was arrested.
Two hours after tho funeral
Of her husband Mrs. billiard mac c
full confession to the Rev. Mr.. Smith,
SAYING that Bartholomew and she had
arranged the murder of her husband
that she might marry her paramour.
She was TO arouse billiard, send him out
with lantern, and direct him to o
cherry tree where Bartholomew was to
bo in readiness TO shoot him. This plan
was carried out exactly. Bartholomew
was found guilty Sept. 20 of murder In
the first degree, the jury being out but
ono hour. Mrs. billiard was also con-
vlcted and sentenced TO death, but her
sentence was commuted to life i'm

WASHINGTON, April 14.-It was sad
and touching scene at the Randall resi-
dence on Capitol hill when Congressman
Samuel ]. Randall expired Yesterday
morning just as the bells Of neIghbor-
ing church were tolling o'clock.
Around the bedside were gathered the
family, the physician, and Post
master-General Wanamaker, who had all
kept constant watch over the dying
man during the night.
A few moments before his death he
had opened his eyes, and looking tender
ly at his wife, who knelt over him, said
in low tone, Mother" word instinct
with all the fondest recolections OF their
long and happy married life, and by
which he always called his wife when
none but the family were near. He
looked into her eyes as II he were about
TO say something more, but he seemed
to have no strength left, and in a few
moments he had passed away. Death
had come with the coming Of the dawn.
The watchers saw that all was over
and the brave wife and daughter, who
had nursed and cared for him during
his long illness, could restrain their feel
ings no longer but gave way to their
grief, while the physician and Mr..
Wanamaker endeavored to console them
as best they might, though their own
grief hardly permitted them to speak.
The shock was especially severe to
Mrs. Randall and her daughter Susan,

DIED IN CALIFORNIA.
Exposure ut Johnstown the Cause of the
Death of Harry Grny.

Exposure ut Johnstown the Cause of the
Death of Harry Grny.
Another death that can be traced directly
to exposure in the Connemaugh Valley as
the cause, has occurred. Harry Gray, of
Allegheny, member OF the firm of Nc
Bride 8, Gray, architects, died last Monday
in Pasadena. Cal. His remains will arrive
in this city this morning, and the funeral
will take place tomorrow afternoon, from
his mothers residence, in Allegheny.
Mr.. Gray's death was the result of expos
ure IN Johnstown. At the time of the flood
Mcbride & Gray were building the nata-
torium, and Mr.. Gray went to Johnstown to
superintend the erection of some buildings
there. He contracted a cold, which became
so serious that his physicians advised him to
go to California. Six weeks ago he started
West with his mother, but instead of i'm
proving he sank rapidly, dying on Monday.
Mr.. Gray was young man of consider
able promise, very energetic in his business
and was rising rapidly in his profession.
For many years he was with Joseph Still
berg, the architect of the Exposition, and
did much of the work on that building. He
also had considerable to do with the Ursu-
line Young Ladies Academy. A year ago
he entered into partnership with Mr.. Nc
Bride.
Mr.. Gray had large circle of friends,
who deeply mourn his loss and who extend
to his bereaved mother and brothers their
heartfelt sympathy.
