A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage of Presence of aIind I'm an


The Advantage of Presence of aIind In an
Emergency.
During the late strike on the New FORK
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be in readiness in case of a riot, but they
were not called out
In an interview Gov. Hill said the troops
were not TO be called upon except in case OF
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had expert
ence, and he did not propose to lose his head;
the only point at which there had been serious
trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy
sheriff had lost his head and preclPItated an
encounter,
The strike continued several weeks and
there was riotOus action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities were
able TO cope with it without calling on the
militia.
The test of a mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes a hasty
call on his good Judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence OF mind
retains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at sucn critical Junctures Is to Oe
relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face Of
danger. Otis \. Cole. of kinsman, O, June
10 1890, writes: I'm the fail of 1883 was
feeling very ill. lconsuIted a doctor and he
said | had Bright disease of the kidneys and
that he would not stand in my shoes tor the
State of Ohio" But he did not lose courage
or giveup; he says: 4 saw the testimonial
of Mr. John Coleman, 10O Gregory ST., New
Haven, Conn, and | wrote to him. In due
time received an answer, stating that the
testimonial that he gave was genuine and not
Overdrawn in any particular. l took good
many bottles of Warmers Safe Cure; have
not taken any for one year"
Gov. Hill is accounted a very successful
man; he is cool and calculating and belongs
to the class that do not lose their heads when
emergencies arise.

GERMANY'S AGED IDOL.
All the FathcrIand HOnOrs Field
Marshal Won Moltke.

The celebration of the ninetieth birthday
of Field Marshal Won Moltke at Berlin, Ger
many, was a magnificent success. Although
it rained all the morning the streets along
which the Emperor was to drive were
crowded at an early hour. At nine o'clock
three hundred school children gathered at
the house of Marshal Won MoltE-, where
they sang hymns and patriotic songs. The
Marshal came to the window and said a few
words of thanks.
The Emperor started for Won Moltke's
palace at 1890 driving in coach drawn by
six horses. His Majesty carried with him
rich Field Marshals staff, which he person.
ally presented to Won Moltke whose palace
was crowded with the royal persOnages of the
nation. The Empress Frederick and her
daughters were prominent among those who
were most earnest in their congratulations.
The Grand Duchess of Baden sent the
writing case that belonged to tie late EN-
peror William |.
Prince Bismarck telegraphed his cougratu-
latfons, which Won Moltke answered in his
own handwriting. During the reception
congratulatory cable was received from New
York and was read aloud to the Marshal,
who remarked that many of his former
helpmates to his glory were now living in
America.
Between early morning and o'clock that
night 5000 dispatches and cables were re-
ceived besides wagon load CT presents of ali
descriptions.
An announcement was made that Won
Moltkes birthplace at Parchine had been
bought by a committee, which also placed
1875, 900 at the MarshaPs disposal that he may
endow the old homestead as hospital.
In the afternoon the Marshal took spe-
cial train for Potsdam, where he attended
a State dinner at the castle seated at the
right hand of the Emperor.

COURT OF CLAIMS.
Report of the Years Business Before
This Tribunal

From the annual report of the Court OF
Claims, submitted to the Attorney-General,
it appears that the aggregate num-
Der of suits begun against the
Government in that court and pend
ing is about 1000 and that the war
claims alone now pending number 5000, in
O0o, 900. During the last year, under the
general Jurisdiction of the court.
claims amounting to nearly $4,000,
900 have been disposed of. In these
cases the amount recovered was S21O,
600. Claims against the District Of Colunlbi
have been adjusted by the court to the extent
of $3.50, 600, at a cost of only $45, 900. Of the
war claims tried the amount claimed was
nearly 81, 900, 600. and the findings for the
claimants aggregated 100000. In all de-
partmental cases tried the findings have
been adverse to the claimants.

BRUTAL RUSSIANS.
A Band of Emigrants Stopped by
Guards and Three Murdered.

A party of Russian emigrants, numbering
upward of three hundred, and holding tick
cts for transportation to Brazil, left the vii
lage of Ricszacra to cross the West Russian
frontier When they reached the frontier
post in the night they were stopped by the
frontier guards, who demanded to see their
tickets permitting them to leave the country.
Upon learning that the party had none
such they were forced back at the point OF
the bayonet.
Upon receiving such treatment so unjusti-
fiab1y, numbers of ernigrants protested,
whereupon the guard fired on them, killing
two men and one woman. This latter had
a young babe in her arms, which was
wounded.

Chicago is to have the worlds fair of

tion, nor need any flattery be bestowed

securing the fair. But the motives
which lie behind the actions of some
individuals in their efforts to secure a
certain end is worthy OF deep study.
For instance the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette sees nothing but obstacles await.
ing the fair worlds fair to be held in
Chicago. Why? Because-well, because
it was not held in New York where it
wanted it, while the Mail and Express of
New York city advocates the holding of
rival fair in that city. This shows
some men are very earnest in their love
ofcountry while things are carried on ac-
cording to their notion OF patriotism
but let some one else's notion be adopted,

tude charged to the devil in Ireland,

It is said that the electric light con.

of executions by the electric current.
The majority OF the people will hardly
be able to see why this matter concerned
them unless some of the members OF
that convention were in love with the
scaffold and the bangmen. But then
some convention of ropemakers might
with equal propriety object to execu.
tions being performed by rope halter.

A spirit was caught short time ago
in Chicago by three reporters. The
spirit was in the flesh, and the flesh be-
longed to a woman who was playing
spirit at a seance held in Old Windy.
There is nothing so very singular in the
whole affair, only that the flesh of the
female spirit kicked at the reporters.
Let it be understood that three, or even
a less number, reporters would willingly
lay firm hold Of spirit in the above
named kind of flesh, provided the out
side was neither old, wrinkled nor red
headed
