The game of ball at Belmont on
Tuesday between the renowned
Galena Grays and nine made up
of Mineral Point battery, short
stop and third basemen and the
balance from Belmont, was one of
the best ever played III this section.
AT the conclusion of nine innings
the score stood to 5, and a draw
was declared. Jacka, the Point

while the runs secured by the Grays
was because of wild throws and

Aud thus the assistant who tends to the

Who handles the rollers, and washes tho

diaries might be dispensed with.
a Agricultural Implements are to be
looked after especially.
The greatest interest was mani
tested in the proceedings, and the
members showed that they appre-
ciatc the serious nature of their
organization. The Alliance will
hold another convention in October,
and by that time it is said by the
officers that the organization will
have enrolled $4,000 oathbound
members from the farming com
munity of Southern Indiana. The
politicians here are discussing the
gravity of the organization, for the
advlsahility of placing "farmcrs'

was discussed in the Convention, and
from the influence that could be
rxcrtcd upon township and county
elections to the more grave matter

possibility.

formed is the growth Of only six

When There Is Harm In Dancing.

II you arc wise, says the Xomc
Jo"no|, if you hope that the future
holds much for you, you will learn
to bc particular us to your partner
in dancing. Dance with no
man with whom you have only a
ballroom acquaintance, and if you
really arc anxious to gain the re-
sp"ct OF the people in your own set,
you will number among partners
only your own brother, or some
very intimate friends.
It's all very well to say there is no
harm III dancing. There is harm in
having about you, sweet pure
girl, kept as much as possible from
the wickcdncss of the world, the arm
of Il man who may be a pronigatc,
and not possess the first instinct of
gentleman. lie may, as you say,
dance divincly, but even for a part
ncr in a round dance, more than
that is necessary. My little girl,
dancing indscriminately will teach
YOU to forget how to blush, and
with that knowledge departs one of
your greatest charms. Dance, sing
and be merry, but remembers, not
only does the world judge us by the
company we keep, but just as you
and are made better and nobler by
being with those who arc true and
good, so we are insensibly made
meancr aud poorer in heart and
brain when we consort with those
Of less degree in morals. s. 1Uuntu

disgraccful incident occurred during
the funeral services of Mrs. Cop
pingcr, the daughter OF Secretary
Blaine, to-day. Mrs. Coppingcr was
a Catholic. The services took place
at St Matthew's. The gallarics
were packed with people. Pcws

Col. Coppingcr, who is n Catholic,
entered the pew he made the usual
sign OF the cross, rs all Catholics do.
Secretary Blaine and Mrs. Blaine
followed him. They arc Prcsby-
tcrians. They did not bend the
knee or cross themselves. The
omission was Immediately followed
by an outburst Of Kisses from the
right hand gallary. SO loud was the
demonstration that it was heard all
over the church, and people looked
in the direction the ugly sound came
from. Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine were
overcome by grief and apparently
did not notice tho kissing. = Mobe.

PEARS ADvERTISISG.-Thr great
est advertiser in the world is Pear,
Of soap celebrity. Ills expenditures
on this account staggcr belief, but
Mr.. Barrett, who is to all intcnts and
purposes Pear, says that for every
pound that he has spent in printers
ink, paint and paste, he expects to
spend ten. 1t was this concern which
enlisted the best brushes of the
Royal Academy in the execution of
its advertising schemes. 1t is not
unusual to pay $4,000 for an acccpta-
bic design, and there are scores
of artistically painted pictures on
the dead walls of London for which
he has paid as much as $500 apiece.
But with him, rs with nearly every
other successful advertiser, dead wall
advertising is secondary to news
paper advertising. at is printers
ink that pays the best, after all; VIC
find that the quickest response
always comes from newspapers and
periodicals." says Mr.. Barrett = TN,

The Worlds Most Powerful Tribunal.

eaton s. Drono in the February Forum.
The highest court Of the United
States, whose centennial commemo
ration is aG hand, holds a unique
place in our government and one
not found in any other govern.
mental system. 1t wields power
greater than is exercised by any
other judicial tribunal in the world
In no country Of Europe or the
East has any court authority to
make or unmakc the supreme law OF
the land, to limit the prcrogativcs OF
the sovereign, to control the powers
OF the legislature, to shape the form
of government.
These functions are exercised by
tho Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t holds power above
that of the chief magistrate of the
nation, superior to that of Congress,
higher than that of any State, and
equaled only by that which made or
can amend the Constitution. 1t can
enlarge or limit the prerogativcs of
the President Or the powers Of Con
grcss. 1t can change the relations
between the State and the nation.
1T can extend or restrict either the
central power or State sovereignty.
In short, it can make or unmakc the
constitutional law of the country.
1T can introduce radical changes
into our form of government. Not
only can the Supreme Court WELD
these vast powers, it has long done
so and may long continue to do so.

Roasted Cotton Seed.

In last weeks Enq"ire,' was
published very interesting article
on the above subject by Mr.. G. j.
Greene, OF Toccoa, Ga, copied
from the Southe,w Iuru,. Mr..
Greene takes the ground, and is
backed up by actual demonstration,
that all that is necessary to convcr,
cotton seed into economical and
wholesome food for all kinds of stock
that will cat corn, is simply to roast
1t. lie sent us sample of the
meal made from the roasted seed,
and, as he says, it is not ut all nm
palatablc to the taste. It's odor
is identical with that Of parchcd
coffee, while the taste is peculiar to
itself, partaking of no suspicion Of
that of the green seed. Mr.. Greene
thinks that he has solved the great
broblcm, "What shall we do with
our cotton seed ?" and it is not at I'LL
improbable that he has. He is now
experimenting to discover some
practicable and convenient method
by which the seed can he chcaplv
roasted, and kindly promises to
give the readers of the En0,,iyer
the benefit of future Investigations.

What the Worlds Fair Sh0nid BE.

Two things should be prominently
in view. First, that it is Il real cclc-
hration we want, and not mere
pcddlcrs' fair. We can be content
with nothing less than grand, Dig
niticd celebration of an event of
transccndrnt Importance to the
whole world, not alone to it's indus
trial, but to its political and social,
interests, as well. Secondly, that,
ON this occasion, the United States
should appear, not for themselves
alone, but rs the head and front of
the people Of all the Americas,
assuming the leadership, as is right,
but asSociating with themselves, in
the intention and, to some degree, in
the conduct Of the celebration, all
the other nations which owe thci.
existence to the daring and advcn-
turous voyage of Colulhbus. Many
persons think of a worlds fair as
school OF industrial art; but this is
the smaller part of its mission. 1t
is through widening the markets for
products, through educating the
taste Of customers, through inspiring
industrial ambitions, that the worlds
fair does it's greatest work. it is
not IS a means to ends already de-
sired, but as proposing new ends. as
setting mp larger and finer objects of
desire, than IN exhibition uf ,rts
and manufactures chiefly contributes
to industrial developments Gen.

No better evidence of the pre-
vailing ignorance concerning Flor
ida can he cited than the recently
discovered phosphate beds within
her borders. All the world wants
phosphate. For ages past deposits
OF the article have lain here, and
their presence was unsupported.
Numerous attempts have bon made
to secure geological survey of the
State. But the government has
been deaf to all appeals. The i'm
preston seemed to prevail that Flor
ida had no geology, and that from a
scientific standpoint it was a barren
desert. The developments Of the
past few months have turned the
attention Of the whole world to
Florida, and evidence is accumula-
ting that, gcologically, this will
prove the richest field of all. Now
the government is waking up and a
statement is being made that n thor
ough survey is to he begun at once.
