supported President Cleveland.
Mr.. Downing conversed on his

Hon. John Mercer Langston is
conducting a vigorous canvass in
the Fourth Congressional District.
He has no opposition save that OF
Mr.. j. f. Epes, the Democratic nomi-
nee, and will certainly be elected.
The people are enthusiastically In
his favor.
This time he will have representa-
tion at the count, privilege which
was denied him at the last election.
In that District the Republican Com
mittee adopted the same tactics as
those pursued In this District.

Mrs. Rosa X. Jones. the accom-
plished pianist rendered an instru-
mental solo.
"Steal Away" was we'll rendered
by the Hsrtshorn Memorial College
students.
"The Black Regiment" was render
ed by Miss Nahar. This was excel

fire manifested in her every motion
while reciting this magnificent pro
duction. "Who Did Swallow Jo'
nah?'' an amusing musical selection
was sung by the Hartshorn Memori
al young ladies.
90 Restless Sea" was sung by Mrs
Henrietta Jones. She has II fine
clear voice.

To the Republicans of the Third Dis

Your congressional committee, al

While this district Is safely Repub-

the elective franchise contemplated
in our Constitution the introduction
of the "Anderson-McCor cleo
tion-law practically forbids your
casting and having counted Re-
publican ballot If the emergency de-
mands otherwise; in fact, you are
about as sure to have your ballot
honestly counted in some precincts
If allowed to cast 1t at all; where this
law is administered by unscrupulous
officers as you would be to get the
return of your shekel dropped on n
"three card monte" table.
We, however, by virtue Of the au-
thority vested in us by the party
code, call upon all county, district,
and precinct chairmen, and all com
mitteemen, and others in authority
throughout the district to use their
very best efforts to secure the regis
tration of our voters and particular
! ly to see that the voters whoss
names were Illegally stricken from
the registration books at the last
gubernatorinl election areregistered

times be in tact and ready for tigh'

The Many Uses to Which the Holianders
Put Their FoOt-Gear.
The Hollanders make so many uses OF
wooden shoes. one is persuaded to believe
the 'Old woman who lived in a shoe,
and had so many children she didn't
know what to do" was a Dutch cr0usc.
The children turn shoes into boats. and
paint them a rich deep brown, in imita-
tion of the large boats which sail on the
River Mas. As they trim the tiny sails
of their ships, and launch them upon
the waters of a sl00 TO some imaginary
Van Diemen's land, not to be found in
a geography, they seem possessed WITH
the same spirit which inspired tie

both to fence and TO fertilize the land;

one. and the owner of the little vessel
will have abundant opportunity to in

realized when his ship comes in"
The boats that one may see on the
rivers and the coasts of Holland are not
unlike the wooden-shoes in shape, and
the same model may originally have
served for both

with yellow carrots or little round

These shoes also take the place OF the
obsolete birch-rod of our grandmothers'
days. The good rrouac, in her quaint
cap of spotless white, with gold spiral
pins called kruNeR, placed above the
ears, does not look very much like such
grandmothers as we have known, but

During the week, after school hours,
the little girls walk along the bikes Ia
rows knitting; and the clatter of their
shoes, to an ear unfamiliar with it. is,
except that is without the military reg

army.
Saturday is the great cleaning day in
Rijsoord, when every thing is made
ready for Sunday, the day of rest The
houses are scrubbed inside and out, and
among the pots and kettles are seen
the wooden shoes; these, secured snowy
white, hang upon forked sticks near the
doorway to dry in the wind and sun.
The morning brings the sound Of
ktumpen along the dikes, and rows Of
people are seen walking toward the
kirk. At the door they leave their
shoes, like faithful servants, to await
their return later, after three hours
sermon by the dominic.
In the afternoon the young men and
women stroll up and down the Promer-

and friendly greetings until shutdown,

the wooden shoes soon take on their

a FUNNY TRAP.
How Chinaman Captured Runaway
Monkey.

How a Chinaman Captured a Runaway
Monkey.
A monkey was chattering among the
trees of lawn near Central Park, in
New York. lie had escaped from an
organ-grinder. He had collar around
his neck, and wore a red cap trimmed
with gold cord and covered with little
bells which kept up merry jingling as
he swung himself from limb to limb,
using his tail, and his paws which were
SO much like child's hands.
The gardener climbed tree after
him, but before he reached him the
monkey was in another tree a dozen
yards away. Then the gardener climbed
that tree but the monkey had already
gone on to another; then he tried third
tree and failed, and gave up the chase.
Mr.. Arson, the owner of the place,
was very much amused, and his little
girl and boy clapped their hands with
delight The organ grinder, however,
did not seem to be in good humor.
He scolded, shook his stick, and kept
calling ."Jocko Jockol" The monkey
scolded angrily in return, waved his
red cap, and flung leaves and twigs at
his old master In little while a
Chinaman entered the yard. There
was twinkle in his almond-shaped
eyes.
"Chinaman catchlee monkey" he
said.
Catch him, then" said Mr.. Arson.
'Whatll GIN me?' asked the China
man.
Il will give you three dollars if you
catch that monkey" said the organ
grinder.
Alice rightee!' cried the Chinaman.
He disappeared in flash, and when
he returned he was carrying water
melon.
"Watchee Chinaman catchee monk
ley, he said. NO makee muchee noise.
Alice glo way"
They all walked back to the porches
They watched the Chinaman, and won
dered what he was about to do. He went
right to work
He made small hole in the water
melon, ana then placed it in one OF the
wide walks, after which he hid himself
behind the bushes, ready to pounce upon
the monkey.
The latter saw the melon and ap-
preached it with good deal Of caution.
He chartered softly and looked cunning
~ around him. Monkeys are very fond
of watermelon seeds, and so Jocko
forced his paw into the hole and grabbed
a handful of them.
The Chinaman sprang toward him.
The monkey could not draw his paw
from the melon because he would not
open it and let 60 Of the seeds. He
tried to drag the melon with him but it
was too heavy, and he was easily caught
The Chinaman was sailor and had seen
monkeys caught that way in India
