| refer to Senator John G. Jacobs.
One thing is certain, the intimate re-
lations formerly existing between
the Senator and Mr.. Cleveland were
abruptly severed. Mr.. Cleveland
became President, but his old-time
friend never dsrkened the doors OF
the White House. A friend of the
Senator visited Washington during
the closing year of Mr.. CleVeland's
term and met Colonel Daniel La
mont, the Presidents astute Sec
retary.
Have you been up to see the
President ?" Lamont asked.

ton to see him." said the Senator's
friend.
"You should call and see him. He
knows you are in town and he will
think it strange if you don't call"
said the Colonel.
The Senator's friend did call at the
White House, and after the usual
solutions were exchanged. the Presi-
dent said gruffly:
"Well, are you here after an office
too"
mo, am not. l came here on a
claims case and I've got the money
in my pocket and Pm going to get
out soon as 1 can," was the reply,
sharply made.
"How Is Jacobs ?" the President
asked still gruff.
"As well as he ever was and just as
independent" responded the Sena-
tors friend curtly.
"Why doesn't he come to Wash.
ington ?" inquired the President.

question better than | cam" and the
answer was not pitched in a gentle
key.

CIeveland's Unpopularlty.

Candor compels the statement that
Mr.. Cleveland does not share in the
popularity CT the other distinguished
Democrats. AS matter of fact, the
ex.Presideht seems to have but few
Democratic friends in the Legislature,
and have conversed with many
Democrats concerning the advisable
ty of renominating him. l have in
my minds eye one Senator who said
TO me:
"The Dem ocratic party made Gro

he had kept his mouth shut he would
be President to day."

with bitterness the proposition to re-

Saxton socalled ballot reform bill has
cost Mr.. CleYeland many friends.
He is charged with haying discarded

one Democrat Senator who carefully
refrains on all occasions from discus

What Women Like in Men.

Ladies Home Journal.
Women, think, like manly, not
lady-like men.
They like honesty of purpose and
consideration.
They like men who believe in
woman.
They like their opinions to be
thought of some Value.
They like man who can be strong
as lion when trouble comes, and yet,
if one is nervous and tired, can but
ton up shoe and do it with an
amount of consideration that is a
mental and PHYSICAL bracer-up.
They like man who can take hold
of the baby, convince it of his power
and put it to sleep after they have
been worrying with it until their
eyes are tired and they feel as if they
had no brains.
They like man who is interested in
their new dresses, who eau give an
opinion on the fit, and who is prop.

against woman.
They like man who knows their
innocent weakness and will cater to

latest puzzle sold on the street, that

tanning everybody for the whole
evening.
They like man who is master of
the situation-that is, who has brain
enough to help woman to decide
what is the best thing to do under the
circumstances, and who has wit
enough to realize, when one of the
fairer sex is slightly stubborn, that
persuasion is more powerful than all
the arguments in the world.
They like man who likes them
who doesn't scorn their opinions,
who believes in their good taste. who
has confidence in their truth. and
who, best of all, knows that the love
promised is given him.
That's the sort of man a woman
likes, and her every sigh of satisfac-
ton as his virtues are mentioned is a
little prayer that says "God bless
him."

instance Of sudden death occurred. Mr..

out on horseback to drive up some cat

him from going, but as he insisted on
going 1t was deemed best to have his
nephew accompany him.
Alvin Plummer, overseer OF the road
district that embraces that locality, was
coming to the eity to transact sone bun-

saw the men driving cattle in the field
near the road. Presently he noticed the
elder Dixon rein up his horse, lean for

remain in that position. the horse mean
while standing quite still.
Mr.. Plummer thought that something
was wrong with the man, but concluded
that he had attack Of bleeding at the

to his uncle, who did not move, and
then rode hurriedly to the lane and in

his uncle was dead.
Mr. Plummer drove into the field and

Farmers and the Mckinley Bill.

Congressman Boutelle has written to
Houlton Grange, Patrons Of Husbandry,
a valuable and interesting letter on the
new tariff bill, pointing out particularly
the effect Which the new schedule are
likely to have upon agricultural products.
Mr.. Boutelle says the ways and means
committee were thoroughly impressed
with the need Of extending more pro
lection to the farmer, and constructed
the agricultural schedules with this end
In view. Foreign competition Mr.. Bou-
telle considers one of the chief agencies
that have been depressing the agricu. t.
ural industry. While In 1860 the i'm
portation Of agricultural products
amounted to only $40 .0O0, 600 It had risen
In 1889 to more than 1856. OOO, 900 an In
crease of nearly 800 per cent, while the
population during the same period had
increased only 800 per cent. This gro With
has been most rapid during the past ten
years, and has been followed BY sig
nlfcant and corresponding decline 10
prices Of the home grown product" Our
Canadian neighbors have become very
sharp competitors with our agricultural
population. Thus, during the last fiscal
year there were imported into this
country from Canada, horses. sheep and
cattle to the value Of eS,sl7,0 3l; barley
to the value Of $7.79l .768; other grains
to the value Of GIGS, l9s; potato starch
and dextrine valued at $3.50, 600; eggs,
%, 429, 900; hay, 9l, Os2 ,Gs5 hops, o., 100.
s9:; faxseed and seeds 84,5G7, 1893; po.
tatoes, vegetables, beans, o., 1896, 500 ;
lumber, GIGS, 844.
The Mckinley schedule will have sire
tendency to check these importations
thereby relieving the farmer, especially
the farmer who lives In States bordering
on the Dominion, from serious compe-
tition, while the removal Of the tariff on
sugar will enable him to buy one of the
necessaries Of life ~ very much lower
figure than 1t now costs. Mr.. Boutelle
makes very strong showing Of the ad-
vantages which will accrue to the farmer
especially the Eastern farmer, from the
Mckinley bill, but no stronger than the
facts warrant.

Charged with Painting . Man Red.

Charged with Painting = Man Red.
Frank Grafton, a painter, was charged
before Justice Kavanagh at Long Island
City, l.. l., with throwing pot Of paint
over the head and face Of Nicholas Red
line, completely spelling the latter's per-
sonal appearance for the time being.
Grafton was employed painting house
in Dutch Kills. He had placed twen-
ty-five foot ladder against Redline's
house, which stood within three feet Of
the building which he was working on.
Redline ordered him down, and to
hasten the painters movements he pulled
ut the foot Of the ladder with hoe.
Grafton is nearsighted, and, fearing that
Redline would upset the ladder, he up
set his bucket of red paint. The paint
struck Redline on the head and made
him look like an Indian. He ran shout
ting down the street, followed by a
crowd which quickly gathered. He ran
into barber shop, where his appearance
caused panic among the patrons Of the
place. Some took the paint for blood
