A hot sun beats down upon the wide,
dusty road, says the New York Erening
Sun. In the distance. as far as the eye
can see. are fields Of waving grain, broken
here and there by clumps of trees. Far
away to the right is a m OF mountains,
which loom dull and purplish-black
against the summer afternoon.
The road stretches fiat, and hot, and
dusty. and dry. And the sun beats down
upon ii. Above all sounds n low. sleepy
hum,
"Like the murmur Of innumerablc bees"
Just to the left of the road is a pasture.
separated from il by n weather-beaten,
zig-zag rail fence. A little stream runs
through il, clear. cold and sparkling. An
occasional CLEAN of sunshine filters
through the leaves and falls into the little
stream, showing the white pebbles at the
bottom.
Beside the brook, and in the shade of
apple tree, stands a cow. Occasionally
she nibbles at the cool green grass about
her. Now she moves slowly toward the
brook, and stands with the running water
cooling her legs, and she winks placidly
and Is content.
A tired, thirsty, dirty, disguised tramp
comes along and leans over the fence.
"Who wouldn't be a COW ~ says he.

Mrs. GIadstone's Kindness.

Apretty American girl recently called upon
Mrs Gladstone at her London home. She car
ried a most favorable letter of introduction as
member of a well-knOwn American family
Her brightness and sparkle attracted the wife
of the great English statesman, and for an en-
tire afternoon and evening she lived in the
Gladstone household. She confessed to Mrs
Gladstone that her visit had purpose-that of
writing article on the home life of her hostess
for an American magazine.
''But, my dear" said Mrs. Gladstone, ''your
people are interested in Mr.. Gladstone; they do
not know me-"
"That is just why l came," replied the girl,
''in order that Americans may learn a little
more of you.'
At the tea table Mr.. Gladstone Joined with
his wife in entertaining the American girl, and
few were ever given a better opportunity of see
ing the Gladstone home life.
The quiet part which Mrs. Gladstone has
played in the career of her famous husband ID
known to only few. A freshness will there
fore attach itself to the story, ga Day With
Mrs. Gladstone as 1t will be told by her bright
young visitor in the Ladies' Home Journal, OF
Philadelphia, during the coming year. This
article will he one of the series of f'Unknown
Wives OF Well-known Men," which this excel
lent magazine will contain during 1891.

PLANTS IN BLOOM.
The Belief That They Are Injurious to the
General Health.

The Belief That They Are Injurious to the
General Health.
From Amateur Gardening.
There is widespread belief that the pres
ence of growing plants and cut flowers in
rooms is in some way prejudicial to those who
sleep therein. This belief is probably due to
the fact, learned at school, that plants give off
at night carbonic acid, and the knowledge that
this gas is irrespirable. A writer has recently
published the results of some experiments made
in closed greenhouse, showing how fanciful
are these fears.
In this greenhouse there were 6,000 growing
plants, and the average of three experiments,
made early on three different mornings after
the place had been closed for more than twelve
hours exhibited only 4.03 parts of carbonic acid
per 10000. We can judge by this experiment
that from one or two plants the quantity of gas
given off must be far too small for recognition,
and certainly many hundred times less than
that formed by burning taper, or given off by
one pair of lungs.

that my symptoms were more favorable, gave

In our local columns will be found the
proceedings of the citizens meeting last
evening for the purpose of getting up a
demonstration for the day on which the
new City Government is to be inaugural
ed. No more worthy move could be
made. 1t is very proper that some action
should be taken to properly observe
Johustown's greatest day. We need some
move to make the people feel that thyr
is still some of the former spirit in the
place. Especially is it so in view of the
fact that we have not had parade or
other public demonstration since the
flood of May 31st. An era of general
good feeling needs to be inaugurated, and
nothing would better serve that purpose
than to have all our people turn in and
help to make the day a memorable one in
the history of Johnstown. Then the in
coming officers, who have a stupendous
task before them, need the encourage
ment that a proper observance of the day
would give.

How the Work of Arranging for Distribu-
ton is Progressing.
The work of arranging for the distribu-
ton of Colonel Shepard's MaH and Eg-
press fund is progressing rapidly, al
though the Committee on Distribution can
devote buf about four hours each day on
the work, their other duties in connection
with their churches occupying the re
mainder of their time. A representative
of the DEMOCRAT called on the Committee
last night. They were not disposed to
talk very much, but it was learned that
number of persons who were worth from
$4,000 to 100000 had made application
in pitiable manner.
The committee had divided the appli-
cants into three classes. The rate for the
different classes will be decided as soon
as the number in each class is known.
They mean to give the same amount to
every one under a particular class.
The committee decided before the work
was begun that every cent of the money
would be paid out in solid cash. There
will be no ten per cent. business about 1t,
or any large amount held back to PRINT a
report of the distribution.
The committee is now working very
hard and as soon as the checks are ready,
which will be in about twenty days, the
committee will notify the people through
the press Of this city.

" Only little. The fare of some of the
delegates was paid"
"Who paid it?"
We did,
Who are we ?"
Well, some of the Republicans. l do
no. think it was good policy to have all
but ten of the delegates for Delsmater. l
would liked to have seen about twenty for
Hastings, and then it would not have

WHAT STOREY SAYS.
The following interview was held with
Henry w. Storey, applicant fer the Johns
town postoffice:
" Do you consider that the primary
election held in Cambria county on Jan
uary 20, 1890, to elect delegates to the
County Convention which elected Messrs.
Swank and Barker as State delegates, and
which instructed for MIR. Deamater, was q
legal election conducted in an ordinary
manner ?"
" Yes, 1 do. Emphatically SO. If
that was not fair election there never
was one held In the State of Pennsyl-
vania."
This answer was given after Mr..
Storey has refreshed his memory as to
the terms of the primary election act of
1881
o." Did you ever meet Delanater or An
drcws in Blairsville or elsewhere and
arrange with them in regard to
electing delegates for Delamater from
Cambria county, and did they or either
OF them give, or offer to give, consider
alton for such work on your part?"
" l refuse to answer that question, but
| will say that there was no illegitimate
use of money or anything else at the
primaries"
"Why was it that the Cambria County
Primaries were held so much earlier than
usual ?"
MIR. Storey declined to answer this cues.

THE ballot-box is the ark of safety for

mater recently. The concluding chapter
of his and Chairman Andrews political
methods in Cambria county are given else
where. 1t is to be supposed that the Re-
publican politicians in this county are so
"pure" that the swearing of primary
election boards, as required by the laws of
Pennsylvania, is,an entirely unnecessary
procedure. But such men, IS those
whose methods have been laid bare, are
fit tools for such briber of Legislatures

ONE round-trip ticket from this place to
Ebensburg costs $1.75, and forty of them
cost $40. 1t is said that Delamater and
Andrews knew nothing of the round-trip
arrangement, and that they paid the full
fare for each round trip, or $2.10. Some
body had profit of thirty-fve cents ON
each ticket. There are tricks In all
trades, but politics furnishes the greatest
opportunities for the monumental trick

the Cambria county delegates. The Herald

county for Delamater. Come on brother !;
it's your turn now.
