A humorous Family.

There arc some good-sized families in
Maine to-day, but probably none 30
large as n mentioned in the histories
Of old colonial days. 1t is told on the
authority of Cotton Mather that the
first royal Governor of Boston was one
OF o family OF twenty-six children, and
was born In tho woods Of Maine near
the mouth OF tho Kennebec in 1854, His
mother was left q widow when he was n
child, and is said to have had all she
could do to provide for the wants of her
family. II is hoped that when the Gov
ernor got 500, 600, q k%nighthood and a
goblet valued at SIS, 900 as a reward for
finding n Spanish treasure-ship that
had gone to the bottom half u century
before, he remembered his mother and
made her last days easier than her
earlier ones had been.

BLAINE ON FREE SUGAR.
The Secretary Explains His Views tho
Sugar Tariff.

The Secretary Explains His Views on tho
Sugar Tariff
AUGUSTA, Me-, June 1S.-The follow
ing letter from Secretary Blaine was re-
ceived in this city by ex-Mayor Coney.
WASHINGTON, June Is MY Dear Sir: I
have your favor of the 18th inst. You are in
error in supposing that 1 am opposed to
sugar being admitted free of duty. My OBJ
lection is not to free sugar, but to the pro-
posed method of making it free. If, in the
free list we give to certain countries a free
while they are not asked to open
their markets to the free admission
of single dollar of American prod
ucts. We ought to have, in exchange
for free sugar from certain countries, a free
market for breadstuffs and provisions, be-
side various fabrics from all parts of our
country. In short, we ought to secure in re-
turn for free sugar market for $50 O00, 600 or
$4,000, 600 worth OF our own products. 1t
will not require reciprocity treaties to Sc
cure this great boon. The Tariff bill can
contain all the necessary conditions. The
legislative power is able to secure the de-
sired end. Within the last twenty years we
have given the countries south of us free
admission, for nearly $50, 100000 worth OF
their products without receiving penny
advantage in exchange. If sugar be now
made Internationally free We shall have
admission for $50, OO0, 900 of their pr oducts.
1t is time, Think. to look out for reciprocal
advantages. We are very rich nation but
not rich enough to trade on this unequal
basis. In great haste, sincerely yours,
JAMES G. BLAINE.

OATS IN A BAD WAY.

The Farmers Review on the Condition of
the Crops.
CHICAGO, June 1S.-The Farmers Re-
view says: Correspondence from the
thirteen States covered by our crop re-
ports show that rains have been album
dant and timely all over the territory,
save in portions of Kansas and Nebras-
ka. In the latter State drought still
prevails in two southern tiers Of
counties. Local showers have fallen
in other parts of the State, but not
sufficient for the best growth of crops
In Kansas a majority of the counties in
the central and western portion of the
State need rain. In the eastern part of
the State heavy showers have fallen
and crops already show the beneficial
effects. Since our last report the out
look for the oat crop has materially
changed. In Illinois, Missouri and
Kentucky thousands of acres have been
completely destroyed by the grain plant
louise. This in connection with early
and prolonged drought in the West and
Northwest, bids fair to reduce the crop
from 20 to 25 per cent below the average
yield. At this date Wisconsin appears
to be the only State in the above men
toned territory that is likely to harvest
a full crop. Wheat also has been dam
aged by the grain plant louise, but to a
less extent than oats.

FATAL COLLISION.

Collision Between q Pay Car and Freight
Train on the Council Bluff Road-One
Man Killed and Several Injured.
RUsHvILLE. Mo-, June 2O.-The pay
train and a regular freight train came
together in a head-end collision at
Nashville switch, on the Kansas
City, ST. Joseph & Council Bluffs
railroad yesterday at 9:12 o'clock,
resulting in the death Of L. w.
Yocum, the engineer of the pay
train, and the wounding of the conduct
or, roadmaster, assistant roadmaster
and porter.
A correspondent visited the scene of
the accident and interviewed the train
men. Engineer ]. F. Cole, of the
freight. says he had run through from
st. Joseph without a stop and had come
to almost stop, preparatory to backing
in on the switch to get out of the way
of the regular north-bound passenger
train. He was on time and had no
knowledge of the coming of the pay
train until he saw it dashing around a
slight curve. Yocum evidently mag
ined that the freight train was on the
switch out of the way, as he made no eff
fort to stop until he had nearly reached
the switch.
Cole and his fireman jumped, as did
George Coaler, the fireman of the pay
train, and Charles Montague, another
fireman who was on board, but Yocum
stuck to his post and went down in the
wreck. When taken out his body and
head were scalded to pulp and one leg
was off.
The two locomotives telescoped and
the tender of the freight engine was
driven into car of twenty-four horses
just behind it, killing eighteen of them
outright The pay car escaped damage.
The injured are: Pritchard, conduct
or of the pay train, bruised about the
shoulders; Joseph Hayward, roadmas-
ter, serious injuries in the back; Dan
Bartlett, assistant roadmaster, ribs
broken; colored porter, head hurt

DEATH TO BACTERIA.

CO6ee Discovered to He . Good and Eco
---@ n0micnl Distnfectant.
An old negro living in district where
the disease often prevailed, once told
the writer that one of the best pre-
ventive measures against yellow fever
was infusion of coffee. Some years ago
he passed through an epidemic of that
grave malady under the worst possible
conditions For at least a month he oc-
cupied the quarters of large number
| of sufferers. passing night and day
among them. eating and sleeping in
| their midst
Recalling the homely advice given
him. he faithfully tried coffee as an
| antiseptic and drank freely of a very
strong infusion five or six times day,
and continued the practice all the time
he was under exposure. He was for
tunate enough to escape contagion. but
never attached much importance to the
use OF the coffee. Considering the re-
suits of recent Developments, it would
seem that the old negro was right in at
tributing antiseptic properties to it
A series of experiments conducted by
a German professor has proved that
they are quite marked. Several differ
emit forms of intestinal bacteria were
experimental upon, and their develop
ment and growth were found in all
cases to be interfered with by the addi-
ton of small quantity of coffee infu-
sion to nutrient gelatin. In pure infu-
sion the bacteria were rapidly de-
stroyed.
| The question as to what constituents
exercise the antiseptic effect can not
yet be fully determined. The caffeine

| portance are the substances that are de-
veloped by roasting. 1t is interesting
to note that cup of coffee, left in a
