THE THIRD PARTY MEN.
The Conservative Element Of the Alliance
Object to Hasty Action.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. 16.-At a meet
ing in Jacksonville last night, attended by
General Master Workman Powderly and
John Davis, member elect of congress from
Kansas, on behalf of the Knights of Labor;
President Polk, National Lecturer Willetts
ofKansas Member of the Executive Board
Wardall of North Dakota, and others
of the Farmers Alliance, it was
decided to have no convention at Gin
cinnati, February 25 as had been
arranged. 1t was decided that the call for
the Cincinnati convention should not be
formally issued, but that in its stead con-
ference of committees of five from each
organization represented should be held
some time in February, which should go
over the ground carefully, and without
taking formal action, practically decide
what course OF action should be taken. This
is decided victory for the conservative
element among the third party men.

SAN SALvADOR'S MINISTER.
The New Central American Envoy, GuirOla,
Interviewed at Chicago.

The New Central American Envoy, GuirOla,
Interviewed at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16. Gen. B. Mollino Gui-
rola, San Salvador's first envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary to tn e
United States, with large family and reti-
nue. of servants and interpreters is in this
city on his way to Washington. Hitherto
San Salvador has been spasmodically rep
resented at Washington by special ENJOYS
but from now on she will have legation
at our capital. Gen. Guirola was at the
head of Salvador's army during the late
Central American outbreaks. Speaking
through an Interpreter, he said today:
The chief matter that l shall bring
before Secretary Blaine will be
the information that Salvador is extremely
anxious to market her valuable products
in the line of Indigo, coffee, sugar, balsam,
peruna and mahogany in the United States
and that if the United States will furnish
certain sum of money the Salvadorian gov
ernment will advance a like amount to be
used as a subsidy for the line of steamers
to ply between our ports and the United
states. This is the plan of our president
Don Carlos Ezeta."
Continuing the minister said that all OF
the Central American states had signed
treaties of peace, but so far the proposed
union of states had not materialized, and
there were no immediate hopes of amalga.
ton. Costa Rca, Nicaragua and Guata
mala were insurmountable objects in the
path of peaceful union. The country of
Salvador is rich, good schools abound, and
the people are more prosperous aid more
refined than those of neighboring states
Hence union is undesirable. Do not think
me bombastic, but time will prove my as
sertions Salvador is the rising United
SCates of the isthmus.

New Way of Doing II.

The two men who had been sitting
together in the seat near the door OF

mated controversy, and their loud
voices attracted the attention of all
the other passengers. Suddenly one

than three persons out of five believe

Tanned by Perfumes.

Wild animals are completely fascin
ated and can be tanned by perfumes.
There was Mrs. Lee in India who
had a tame leopard that played in
the house with her children. He was
inquisitive, as all of the cat tribe are,
and loved to stand on his hind legs
and with his fore paws on the window
sill look out at the passers by.
When the children wanted the place
for themselves they would all take
hold of his tail and pull him down
by that He was generally very
amiable, but sometimes, his claws
being very sharp, the children were
scratched. So Mrs. Lee taught Sal
to keep his claws sheathed by giving
him when he did so little paper tray
on which lavender water had been
dropped. This would throw him in
to transports of delight. He would
tear the paper into bits and roll over
with them on the floor. With moth
ing but q bottle OF lavender water |

The basest fraud on earth is agri-

Used us bees, and they flew away after

She has promised us Strawberries,
and the young chickens have devour-

ness, and hard winter closed down
on us and the lambs died in the shell.

Safe Blowing Extraordinary.

Capt. William A. Pinkerton, the
noted detective, having seen that two
burglars ofhis professional acquaint-
ance were advertised to blow open a
safe on the stage in five minutes,
went to the theatre one night in Chi
cago recently and told them that
they could not do it in five. They
declared they could. Thereupon he
puts $500 in the safe; they did the
same, and he locked it with his own
combination. 'If you get the safe
open in five minutes" he said "the
money is yours. If you don't, it's
mine" Hethen stationed himself at
the wings, watch in hand, and waited
for the burglary scene. The cue Civ
en-, they jumped through the window
and set vigorously to work.
In two minutes the diamond drill
had bored through the steel door.
Then O powder blower was inserted,
the bellows set to going, the crevices
around the door puttied, and the
crank drill was cutting the hinges.
The fuse was inserted; u wet blanket
hung over the door, and the match
struck. AS Pinkerton's watch show
ed the passage of three minutes and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES there was flash
from the safe, cloudlet of smoke, a
heavy jar and the massive door fell
on the stage. The detective remark
ed: Owe been chasing safe blowers
around the country for thirty years
and l thought knew something
about the business. But this is the
first time | ever heard of safe being
blown open inside of four minutes.
The lesson is easily worth $500"

Effectiveness Of Vaccination.

ElISCllN6nSSS OF VdCClndtlOn,
The strongest evidence that has
yet been offered in favor of vaccinu-
ton as 8. preventive of smallpox is
in the figures presented by Ut. C,Ius
Edison, in the current issue of the
Forum, showing the result of the in
PRODUCTION of vaccination as q pre-
cautiOnary measure by the health
department of New York City. In
thespringand fall of each year vHccin-
atOrs employed by the city visit each
house and vaCcinate all infants over
three months. of age whose parents
desire it. Between 10000 and co.
900 persons are thus vaccinated ev-
erv wear, about 10000 of those op-
Grated upon being children. TIE
vaccination corps was established in
1884, and two years thereafter the
results of the work first became man
ifest. DR.. Edison says:
The dea this from smallpox previous
to 1876 averaged 59.57 per 100, 900
per yearsince 1876 they have aver,
aged S.2S per 100000 per year,
and this average is being yearly
reduced. During the past sixteen
months We have had only two
cases of the disease in New York City.
One Of these cases occurred in the
most thickIy populated part of the
city, where thpnumber OfinhaEitants
per acre is greater than any other
spot in the world; yet sowell was the
noighborhood protected that not a
single crse occurred among the many
that were exposed.

Hard People To Satisfy.

cit is truly wonderful how univer.
sal meanness is" said one of a group
OF men in an uptown cafe the other
night, according to the New York
Tribune. "The poor show it as well
as the rich, though there is some ex-
cuse for the former. A funny instance
OF the kind came under my notice
down at Coney island last summer.
1t was rather late in the season, and
most of the restaurants which add q
musical program ofsOmesOrtto their
bill OF fare had dispensed with these
performers as the patronage began
to iall OH. This was one of those hot
days that sometimes come in the fall
to makepeopleglad that cold weather
is near, suppose, and we had spent
an hour in the surf, and were having
something to eat with our beer in a
restaurant, whose band, as ] said,
had blown itself back TO town for the
season.
Along came q hungry-looking
muslc-butCher with an old violin, and
statiOning himself near the door, he
was accustomed probably to invita-
tions to strike up Il march, without
using his bow, began to reveal the
skeleton Of'White Wings atour FEAST.
A howl Of discomfort arose from the
people at the tables and Il waiter was
about to e eCt the offender, when
Schmidt, who was with us. and is, as
you know, an excellent viOlinist pas
siOnately fond Of music and of gen
tie heart withall, though somewhat
COnCeited, interferred and beiriended
the poor devil.
Just what induced him to do it |
do not know. He said it was the
hungry looks of the man. | think
myself it was SckmiGt's vanity at
lotion. Similar stories are told
about Paginini and other great ar
fist and singers you know, and brOb-
ably he wanted to emulate them.
Anyway, he took the violin from the
man, and, tucking it under his chin,
gave us fifteen minutes Of excellent
music, considering the awful old in
strument. The crowd caught on to
the humOr of The thing and applaud
ed the kindness as we'll as the music
heartily.
"Giving theviOIin back to it's owner,
Schmidt sat down, beaming with
pleasure and trying to look uncon-
sciOus.
"Now pass around your hat, he
said to the tramp.
1.-THE fellow was apt enough to that
kind of work, and liberal shower Of
dimes and quarters rainod down into
the crown Of his greasy old headgcar.
After he had completed the round he
approached Schmidt, and he waited
to hear what would say. Schmidt
was evidently getting ready to stop
his flow Of gratitude in a grand seig-
NOR style, but the fellow only held
out his hat for Schmidt's contribu-
ton. We were actually habbergast-
ed for minute and then We roared
with laughter.
"Why confound your impudence,'
said Schmidt, getting mad, you've
got enough money to keep you drunk
for a week. Get outn
! An amt you goin' to hay me
nOding for dense ofde violin" whined
the tramp, as pointed to a broken
string.
"'Ill give you a concert pitch for
it MY fine fellow said Schmidt. as
! he grabbed the tramp by the coat
collar and fairly threw him out Of
the door"
