Dig RADING SILVER.

The resolutions adopted at the Mass.
Convention last Saturday show that our
democratic brethren of Lincoln, share
the alleged sentiments of their party
leaders in the east with regard to the late
silver legislation by Congress. They
favor and demand "free and unlimited
coinage Of silver the same as gold," and
who is there in the State of Nevada
democrat or republican that does not.
The action of Congress is not entirely
satisfactory to any one interested in the
production of the white metal, but since
the residents of the mining regions are
without the power to secure literal
compliance with their demands in the
matter of silver coinage, why not make
the best of the change, and give the new
law chance. 1t is recognized as novel
experiment in financial circles and
time only can determine whether the
movement is a wise one
or not. Already however, its bene.
fetal effects are seen about in the renew.

''There have been several 'Hoyle's' on

As B. had only two points to 90 he

Servants in South America.

Servants are as unmanageable in
South America as they are every
where else, and in many respects
more trying, says F. NJ. Stoddard in
Good HOusek eeping. General house
workers are unknown. For the
smallest family one needs a cook, a
hOusemaid and, instead Of a man'ot-
all-wOrk, hoy of any age from ten
years, and | have seen even younger,
on duty in native households. Be
sides these. no washing can be done
at home. There was, ] am told, at
one time even law against the dry
ing of clothes in ones own patio or on
the roof. Atany rate a lauudress is
an almost impossible person to get,
and clothes are given out to the laVan-
daTas, who support themselves by
the pursuit of that profession alone.
They wash in the river which IS very
wide, and very shallow on its south
ern shore, and rising only when gales
are blowing from the sea, leaves on
its retiring great pools of water in tn e
hollows of the beach. These pool s
are the washtubs for the
whole city, and fiat stones are
used as boards, the clothes being
rubbed between two such, so it is not
to be wondered at that all kinds of
wash goods want frequent replacing.
The same women who wash do not
iron. They are themselves employed
by the person engaged by ones self,
who usually is the ironer and who re-
ceives the pay for the whole. |

ner in which they were done. 1t is a
fault found by every one, but there
seems to be no way of remedying it.
Some few families have succeeded in
getting regular laundresses to join

Wants $4,000 for His sca,n.

Senator Plumb has introduced a bill to
pay $1,000 to man who was scalped.
Accompanying the affidayits and other
papers in the case is realistic piece of
evidence in the form of recent photo
graph. This picture shows the head as
1t looks now, twenty-six years after the
knife was applied.
The claimant is Robert MCGEE. His
home is at Easton, in Leavenworth coun-
ty, Kan. In 1864 MCGEE was only IA
years old, but he was rather large of his
age and thought he could induce the Off
GERS to accept him as a recruit. He went
to Fort Leavenworth and enlisted. When
the mastering came on MCGEE was re-
Jected, but was given a place as teamster
by contractor, who was about to take
wagon train of government supplies
from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Union,
in New Mexico. MCGEE was an orphan.
He had no home to which he could re-
turn, and no friends with whom he could
advise
He took the position of teamster under
the impression that he was still in the
government service. although he had
been rejected as soldier. Near what
is now the fourishing city Of Larned
the wagon train was wiped out by Little
Turtles band of Indians. MCGEE was
the only survivor. He was scalped and
left on the ground for dead. This hap
pened on the 18th of July, 1854. The
terrible ordeal left the boy shattered IN
health. For many years hemade living
by exhibiting his SCARED crown, and now
he appeals to the government, not for q
pension, but for the lump sum of $4,000.
The claim comes under the classification
of Indian depredations, although there
is nothing just like it on the records.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

Death of an Old Eiepsant.

Inc quarters of the great Forepaugh
show at Lehigh avenue and Edgnont
street are in mourning over the death of
one OF the famous herd Of trained ele-
plants tfaat have SO often delighted the
| crowds at the show performances. Tippe-
canoe, who will be remembered as one of
the most intelligent of the pachyder1ns
composing the herd, dropped dead at the
advanced age of ia years.
The news was telegraphed to James E.
Cooper. the present owner OF the show,
who presented the remains of the brute to
the Medico-Chirurgical hospital through
Dr. ID. z. keyser. As Mr.. Cooper was
anxious to know the cause of the mystic
rious death of Tippecanoe, Professor E.
Laplace. accompanied by several medical
students. visited the winter quarters of
the show and made post-mortem ex-
animation Of the body. A surprising
discovery was the result
Upon attempting to open the abdomi-
nal cavity slight incision was followed
by the sudden bursting of the thick hide,
causing the doctor to start back in af-
fright. With much difficulty the heart
was taken out and was found to be highly
infiamed.
1t was of such an immense size that it
could not be forced into an ordinary
washtub, such as is generally used by
housewives. There was much specula-
ton among the students as to the weight
of this organ. When it was placed in
one of the hay scales it tipped the beam
at exactly 102 pounds.
The examination showed that the other
organs of the animal were in a perfectly
normal state, but the Inflammation of
heart, together with the evidence of
pronounced pericarditis, and great
amount of efusion, showed plainly that
the cause of death was dropsy Of the
heart The skeleton of Tippecanoe will
be articulated, and the hide stuffed and
presented to the college.-Philadelphia

A Curious Railroad Accident.

) AS the west bound mail and express
train was leaving Medina a little afte,
noon April 16 a peculiar accident
occurred, the cause of which seems
to be mystery. A branch track
leaves the main line just east of the sta
ton and runs close to the edge of the
passenger platform. How it happened
no one can understand, but at tho spring
safety switch the rear truck Of the rear
car left the main track and swung upon
the switch. The train was moving rap
idly and the end of the car swung around
with terrible force The bow window,
in which Operator Shea sat unconscious
of danger, was struck and the semaphore
signal was torn down, but not hair of
Shea's head was injured. Baggageman
Van Deusen was struck by the car and
hurled to the platform badly bruised,
but out of harms way.
There was crowd of people on the
platform and there was wild stampede,
several persons being thrown down and
bruised. The American Express wagon
was standing upon the side track and
was struck and smashed in an instant.
The horse was thrown down and bruised
somewhat and Driver Mcbride was
pitched out headlong. His escape was
a narrow one, his vest being torn off by
the Car. His bruises are painful but not
serious. The car was loaded with fran
tic passengers who were tossed violently
to one side as the car slowly prepared to
turn sunersault. None of them were
badly injured, but there were many pain
full bruises. Fl. MacGraw, of New York,
had his face badly cut, and ex-Justice
Allen and Miss Diana, of Medina, were
slightly injured. The water column at
the west end of the depot was torn down
and the train was stopped just in time
to save the car from rolling over.-Buf-
falo Express.

The Automatic Opera Glass.

The opera glass industry seems to be a
great one just now, as almost every thea
tire has adopted one or another of the
schemes through which man can OBJ
tain an opera glass by the slot method.
In 1888 an opera glass supply company
set the ball a rolling by putting 400
glasses in the Academy of Music in New
York city. Within few weeks innumer-
able other companies put up all sorts of
fixtures and glasses. Just now the origi-
nal company has 10000 glasses, costing
$14 each, in American theatres, and BY
August, 1890, they VIII have 100000 slot
machines in operation in all of the lead
ing theatres in the country. In order to
protect their device they have commenced
suit against number of companies, and
they have secured already eighteen pat
ents, covering every possible manner by
which glass can be automatically rent
ed in a theatre. The glass is as necessary
as the theatre programme. The growth
of the scheme has been wonderful with
In the past year.-Chicago Herald.
