Wreck of the Old Baltimore Inns.

The old Baltimore inns, with their
swinging signs, their substantial fare, large
yards and stables and jolly landlords, are
rapidly passing away. The General
Wayne Inn, the last of It's kind, with
shingled hip root, quaint gable windows,
sturdy chimneys, and the swinging sign OF
Mad Anthony in Continental uniform, is
being torn down by its owner, Colonel j.
Thomas Scharf, who will put in its place
a large warehouse. 1t was built shortly
after the Revolution by Colonel John
Eager Howard, aud was in the direct
route North and South and to Washing
ton. Itsheltered many prominent persons,
and from it the Lafayette procession OF
1924 started. Western teamSters and drov-
ers made it favorite haunt, and the
highways were nightly blocked by great
Conestoga wagons drawn by six or eight
horses. The old swinging sign viii find a
resting-place with the Maryland Histori-
cal Society. The inn was remarkably solid
in construction, and had considerable arehi-
tectural pretension in the style Of Queen
Anne and the Georges. In the interior
could be traced the influence of Sir Chris
topher Wren and the French architects Of

Awerkamp was jerked skyward. 1t was
the prettiest ascension he has made yet, ana
he reached q greater hight than ever be-
fore.
He was something like 1900 feet above
the ground when he cut the parachute
loose from the balloon and made his sensa-
tional drop from the clouds" The para
chute opened out nicely about two seconds
after leaving the balloon, and Awerkamp
landed lightly and safely on the ground
about eleven seconds later, within one
hundred yards of the spot he started from,
in the paddock. The balloon collapsed
later on and was recovered outside the
park.
The aeronaut was loudly spplauded by
the assemblage.

The third parade of live stock came of at
the Park yesterday forenoon, and was Wit
messed by large crowd of people. The
beautiful animals were led past the stand
in single file, giving all an opportunity to
see each individual specimen of what "the
glorious climate of California can assist in
producing. 1t would be hard to find a
more meritorious collection OF horses and
cattle in any State of the Union than can
now be seen on the fair grounds in this
city.
THE BALLOON ASCENSION.
As soon as the parade was over. Professor
AweTkamp, the daring seronaut who
has made several successful hot-sir balloon
ascensions and parachute drops during bis
stay ia Sacramento, began to initiate his
big pear-shaped bsg. lie could not have
desired a better opportunity for an ascen-
son, as the air was cool enough to permit
the balloon 10 reach good hight.
"I'll get up hail mile To-Day, sure,

animation OF the parachute and trappings

RARELAlS' TRICK.
How lie Reached pari. Without tho
Means to Fay Ills Way.

How lie Reached Paris Without tho
Means to Fay Ills Way.
An old French writer Of memories
tells us that on II occasion Rabelais
found himself in a remote province Of
France without a sou to pay his reckon
ing at the inn. He strolled out leuv-
ing his luggage for the inspection OF
the curious landlord, who found there
i'll two packages of gray dust. one
marked '.Pcison for the King" and
the other Poison for the Queen"
On his return from his walk Rabclais
was arrested BY tho excited village
authorities, who conducted him to
Paris in triumph, expecting Il great
reward for their astuteness.
When they appeared in court with
their victim, he was received with
shouts of laughter and applause forhis
successful trick. which had brought
him home free OF charge.
Thomson. the noted traveller, stated
before the Academy of Science in
Paris that he had made his way
through tho country Of several tribes
in Africa by a Of a false tooth and
a box of eifervescing salts. with which
he worked miracles to awe the
savages.
In a history of the Fleming family
it Is stated that Illusion Fleming. be
ing taken prisoner by the British aftel
the battle of Brandywine. escaped,
passing in full sight through two regi
ments at night. disguised as a ghosI
with a bloody face.
These old anecdotes are curiously
suggestive OF the change in intelli
gence since those days.

HOUSEHOLD CHEMISTRY.
The Unfortunate Experience OF a youn
u%ousekeeper with Ice and Salt.

The Unfortunate Experience OF a Young
Housekeeper with Ice and Salt.
A young housekeeper, knowing
something OF the ~preservative quality
OF salt, and observing that ice cream
and other substances to be frozen was
always packed in ice and salt. drew
therefrom the strictly logical deduc-
ton that the salt was to preserve the
ice in u solid state. Upon her cook,
therefore. the injunction was carefully
and continually laid to keep the ice
we'll salted-especially the ice about
the meats and the milk for the baby
with the amazing result that there was
v any ice in the refrigerator, while
the liquids therein we're always in a
state Of congelation. Much did the
young matron grieve over this, and
loudly also did her husband protest
when the ice bills came in. Aud
finally to clear her skirts from the
charge of undue l~avishness in the mat
ter of ice did the young matron ex-
plain carefully and with tears how 1t
could not be her fault when she was
SO careful to have the ice sailed each
day in order to keep it. Tho chemis-
try of the problem was quickly ex.
planned t the young woman, and she
now salts her meat. but lets the ice
alone.

Auo,hcr Pierre sraua,

RumOr Is now rife that a new dodge
in the capital fight is to be sprung the
current week by Pierre's paid hirelings,
it being nothing more nor less than the
trotting out of the village of Wolsey. -
miles west Of Huron, as a candidate.
Ludicrous and impractical as it may
appear it Is not unlikely that it will be
done, although foolhardy it most certain
ly appears to all we'll informed men.
S%harpers and mercenaries from certain
other towns Of the state, working under
pay from Pierre, are said to be in the
deal, and it goes without saying that
Pierre's successes last fall in swindling
in her real estate deals is acting as one
great incentive in this new game to cheat
and dupe the unwary.
The scheme originated in Pierre and
it is Pierre's sharks which are at the bot
tom of it. They have the names of GER
tain other men from the towns indicated,
to appear as the o%bstensible promoters
and prime movers in the deal-thus Civ
ing the Pierre schemprs a chance to keep
under cover behind them.
The principal idea is to draw away
from Huron all the votes they can and
get them cast for Wolsey, thus helping
Pierre in a negative sense by cutting
down Huron's vote to a plurality if pos
sible, instead Of permitting her to hold
the positive majority which she now has,
This plurality vote for Huron would re-
suit in Pierre retaining the temporary
capital two years longer. On this new
dodge Pierre is now hanging all her
hopes. If she can see this accomplished
she can flood the eastern market with an
other lot OF her inflated bonds. and so en-
deayor to raise another corruption fund,
and then proceed to drag the state through
another yexatious and expensive war
Besides all this she will be able to fIch
another's winters living off the legisla-
ture, while the taxpayers and the farmers
OF the state must foot the bills to the tune
Of several thousand dollars extra mile
age. The entire deal is q deliberate fraud
on the people-nothing less than an un
d%erhanded dig by Pierre and her hungry
sharks into the pockets of the taxpayers
1t is furthermore a new swindle to rOt
unwary investors by inducing them tc
purchase prairie lots, and stamps the per,
petrators as cOnsummate fools or as men
who take the South Dakota people to be
such.
When Watcrtown wisely withdrew from
the capital race the people of South Da-
kota breathed freer and were content
sincerely hoping that the fight thus mar.
rowed down between Huron and Pierre
could and wonld be settled this time a
once and for all. And such is the deter
mination of the people to-day.
The Taxpayers Of the state do not wan
our legislature to draw thousands of dol.
lars extra mileage at its next sessio,
merely for Pierre's particular benefit
Pierre and hor stool pigeons in the towns
indicated above care nothing for that
however, hence they will try to reduce
Huron,s conceded majority to aplurality
if they can by f~oisting Wolsey as a can
diIate in Huron's territory.

The Future of the state.


Ten years ago the fertility Of Dakota
soil was famous. Railroads were rapidly
extending into the country, towns were
rising and settlers were fiocking onto the
government lands. The foods of 81 were
followed by tremendous crops i'll that
and the succeeding year and a great
tide OF immigration flowed into the state
The land of the Sioux, Missouri and Jim
valleys were rapidly taken and under
cultivation. The enormous yields of
wheat were heralded throughout the
country. The soil was known to be the
richest in the world, and no one doubted
but that the annual rainfall was most
abundant.
In '86, however, there was a decided
drought, and though the rain the follow
ing year was sufficient to mature the
crops. it was scant. In '88 and 80 the
drought increased and throughout the in
terror of the state the crop was almost an
entire failure. The present crop will
not reach the average Of the past ten
years.
The fact is patent to the intelligent
observer that a strip Of the state about
seventy-five miles wide and running along
the eastern and southern borders has al
ways had an abundant rainfall and fine
crops, but that the rest, while possessing
the richest soil and The brightest sun in
the world, does not receive a sufficient
average precipitation to attain high agri-
cultural success.
1t is we'll that the citizens Of South Da-
kota should realize this fact. They will
then set about a remedy, and one lies at
hand. Artificial irrigation has done
more to create a wealthy state in Cali
fonia than has the product of all of the
mines.
Enough experiments have been made
throughout tho Jim valley to show that
there is q vast underlying lake which
will furnish an in%exhaustible supply Of
artesian water. In most cases one prop.
erly located well will irrigate at least a
section, and in many places four or FIVE
The wells can be sunk for from $500 tt
$500, and the cost of maintainence is
small. The annual cost OF water service
would not exceed one dollar m acre. The
increaoed value Of the product would OK
coed twenty times that SUM-.
Irrigation would not only increase til,
quantity Of the yields, but would greatly
improve the quality. It would permit
Of widely diversifying the crops. Of in
Producing industries not now possible, OF
extensive tree planting and OF genera
prosperity.
Irrigation forms a cheap, sure and per
manent solution Of the agricultural prob
lem in South Dakota. It will shortly b,
introduced and then South Dakota vii
commence a powerful upward stride il
prosperity, population and prestige Sioux
