The Next Apportionment

On the present basis of representa-
ton one congressman is accorded to
each group OF Isl, 9l2 inhabitants.
Thepopulation of 1880, on which the
present superintendent was based,
gave 325 members to the house. If
that basis is maintained under the
new enumeration, the number of rep
resentatives will be increased to
about APT, and this number must be
added at least six from the six new
states. On the other hand, il the
present membership of the house be
deemed large enough, the basis Of
apportiOnment must be advanced
from 151 900 to 200, 900 inha bitants.
In that case Massachusetts, with a
population ofnot much over 9, 1OO,-
900, would lose two congressman,
Connecticut's representation would
be reduced from four to three, YER
mont's and Rhode Islands from two
to one. New Hampshire's probably
the same and Names from four to
three. In short, New England's dele.
CATION in the house would be reduced
from 26 to 10 or at most 20. The
other eastern states would doubtless
J suffer in the same way to some de-
gree; while the western and southern
states would gain in corresponding
proportion. The states which woulc
lose by an increase of the ratio O
representation will of course vehe m
entity oppose any such move, rs has
been the case in the past, but it il
generally conceded by all disinterest
ed people that there should be no en-
largement of the house membership
under any circumstances.

To Mend Rubber Shoes

1t is sometimes very convenient
to have cement for India rubber,
by means of which worn spot in
the overshoes, or any rubber article,
may be repaired without expense or
trouble. To make II small quantity
of such n cement, sufficient to keep
for emergency purchase 5 cents
worth of red rubber from some deal
rr in dentists supplies. Cut it into
bits, put in n bottle, and cover it
with chlorotorm. In about ten
minutes it will be dissolved. 1t
should be applied with n brush like a
mucilage brush. Do not leave the
bottle uncorked for an instant, ex-
cept while removing the brush, and
apply the cement as rapidly rs pos
sible, or it will harden. Where there
is a large hole piece of what is
known as rubber DAM" which may
also be purchased from dealer in
dentists supplies, may be useful
Cut out piece of this of suitable
size, fnsten it over the hole with q
few stitches, and brush over the rub
Der with the cement. Care should be
taken not to inhale any chloroform
nor to leave this cement where chill
iren can get to it.

A Travelling Mountain.

New York Press.
A travelling mountain is found NJ
the Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is
a triple peaked mass OF dark brown
basalt, six or eight miles in length,
where it fronts the river, and raises
to q height of almost 1000 feet
above the water.
That it is in motion is the last
thought which would be likely to
suggest itself to the mind OF anyone
passing it. yet it is n well established
f,ct that this entire mountain is NOV
ing slowly but steadily down the riv-
err, as il it had n deliberate purpose
sometime in the future to dam the
Columbia and form a great lake from
the Cascades to the Dalles. The In
dian traditions indicate immense
movements OF the mountains here
abouts, long before white men came
to Oregon, and the early settlers, i'm.
migrants, many of them from New
England, gave the above named
mountain ridge the name of "travel

Secrets Of Africa.
Illustrated American.

Illustrated American.
A feature OF the British ent erprise
in East Africa is the secrecy with
which the operations of the British
Imperial East African Company are
conducted. In "Whitaker, which is
supposed to give all official informa-
tion on all public matters, the words
"No Information accessible appear
opp osite the entry referring to this
corporation. AS the company con-
duets it's operations under q CHI a.
acter granted by the Queen, this
secrecy excites criticism, but little
can be done. If Parliament should
make a fuss abont it the only result
would be that the ministry would
have to resign because the sovereign
can do no wrong, and if any wrong
is done it is tn" fault OF the ministers.
In view of the perils to which mil
lions of the natives of Africa are sub
jected by the advance of civilization,
in the shape CT the British trader, it
is thought that sufficient publicity
ought to be given to the affairs OF
the company to insure the protec-
tion of the natives against Outrages
of the grossest kind. 1t is recalled
in connection with this matter that
in no case, except, perhaps, one,
have the doings of any British col
onial company been sufficiently
known to permit adequate public
discussion of them. Official secrecy
has stihed the means of the native
possessors of the soil. Very little is
known OF what is going on in the
Congo State, except to the officers
of the company, the employees of the
company being bound over to 81
lence in penalties.

Fifteen or twenty men, each with i

The MiIkman at the Pump.

Milkmen are much the same all
over the world in their attempts to
palm off upon the public rs much
water as they can disguise. On the
Boulevard de Magenta recently, at
an early hour in the MOI ming, two
policemen came upon one OF these
surveyors of fluid busily filling up
the cans on his cart from the pump,
and with such stuff, too! Owing to
the drought most of the water used
in Paris is taken from the Seine, and
it's quality may be gathered from the
fact that in the public schools orders
have been issued that none is to be
employed for drinking purposes with
out being filtered.
The constables challenged the
milky Apuarius, who replied court
eously: "Ah! well, you have fairly
caught me this time. Jump up on
my cart and l will drive you to the
police Office to save you trouble. =
This amiable invitation was refused
by the sergents de vile, who ordered
the delinquent to come out OF MS
cart and walk with them. Instead
ofcomplying he whipped up his horse
and attempted to escape. Az con

seized tie animals head, brought
it to a standstill, and arrested tn

Up to His Chin In Mire.

Aaron Tyas, Il resident Of Glouces-
ter City, Pa, has had thrilling ex-
perience that will probably result in
his death. He has found recently
firmly imbedded on the bank of Little
Timber creek in the black clny and
mud. with the water within two inch.
es of his chin. He had been in that
position for about eighteen hours,
unprotected from the rays of the sun.
He was discovered about 10 o'clock
in the morning by John Brick.
His attention was attracted to tho
man by hearing a splashing in the
water. At first he was of the opinion
that it was q turtle. He armed HIM
self with a stick and proceeded eau
tiously to where the object lay, when
he was nearly frightened out Of his
senses by seeing the head and face OF
n man in the water. The noise he
had heard had been made by the mo-
ton of the mans arms.
He ran for assistance and met
George Allenbach and William Pear
man. They accompanied him to the
spot. Bareheaded and with the eyes
wide open and the head thrown back,
covering his chin. They waded to
where the young man was and endeav-
ored to relieve him from his predica-
ment. This was no easy task. He
was firmly held by the mud, and it
required she united efforts of both to
release him.
He was taken ashore and washed
by Edward Mccartney and Jacob
| Vickers, when it was found that his
experience had unbalanced his reason
and caused total blindness, although
his eyes appeared all right. He was
removed to the city hall, where an eff
fort was made to restore his reason.

1t is supposed he had wandered tc
the banks of the creek shortly after
4 O'Clock on Monday afternoon, us
he was seen in the vicinity at that
time. After he got into the marsh
he was unable to extricate himself
and it was only by accident that he
was not drowned by the tides during
the night. His terrible struggles and
the scorching rays of the sun were
the cause of his reason being de
throned.-Special to the New Yorl

HARRISBURG, May 31.-The Dauphin
county Republican primaries tonight were
unattended by any exciting incidents,
owing to compromise, by which two dele
gates will be elected at the convention next
week favorable to the nomination of Della
mater and two with a leaning toward Hast

porters of Delamater displayed much
sagacity in selecting as their candidate
for delegate Lyman D. Gilbert, ex-Deputy
Attorney General, against whom it was
feared by the Hastings people no successful
fight could be made, especially since the
failure of the effort to get up mass meeting
to boom Hastings. ....-..
All the delegates elected in this city to-
night will vote for Mr.. Gilbert for delegate,
and Mr.. Gilbert, who has aspirations for the
position of Attorney General, will vote for
Delamater Tor Governor. Mr.. f. NJ. OFT,
ex-County Solicitor, who Is a pronounced
Hastings man, and T. NJ. williams, Super
intendent of the Licken Valley Coal Com
pany, who is also for Hastings, will be two
of the three delegates to be elected in the
county outside of this city. The other dele
gate, John Hage, resident of Steelton, will
probably support Delamater in the Republi-

rpKc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
NEW YORK, May 31.-General D. H.
Hastings dropped Pennsylvania politics last
night long enough to come over from Phila-
delphia and eat dinner at the Fellowcraft
club with the news paper men of this city
and Philadelp p hia, who were with him at
Johnstown in the days after
the great flood, the occasion be-
ing the first anniversary of the
calamity. There were Is or 20 of the news
paper men, and General Hastings was ac-
companied by Major Barton Evans and
Colonel William j. Elliott, OF his staff.
After the dinner he made what he declared
was his first speech about Johnstown. in
which he said that the floods of money and
relief which poured into Johnstown were
largely the result of the work done there by
the newspaper men.
"You stole my blankets, q" he said. "you
lived on my ham and you drank my whisky,
but feel, all the same, the deepest sense OF
personal obligation to all the newspaper
men Tor the way in which you stood by me
in nv efforts to mitigate the sufferings OF the
Johnstown people"
He asked them all to be present at his in
auguration as Governor mex. January, if
he got there. and if he didn't to promise to
dine with him again next year anyhow. AS
O result of the dinner a permanent organiza-
tion of the correspondents will be formed
and an annual dinner held.
