How Thread IS Numbered.

Every seanlstress, whether size wants
No. 30 or SO or 120 thread, knows from
the number just what size the thread
will be and what kind of sewing it
can be used for: but how the numbers
came to be just what they mean, not
one person IL 1000 knows, yet it is a
very simple matter to explain, pro-
vided you only know the points and
how you elucidate them. When $40
yards Of yarn weigh 1000 grains "a
pound of cotton) the thread-makers
mark it No.1 l. If $50 yards weigh q
pound, it is marked as No. ,. For No.
80 yard it would take 50 multiplied by
$40 to weigh a pound. This is the
whole explanation Of the yarn meas
urement rs used by the spool cotton
manufacturers. The early manufac-
tured thread was Of three instead Of
six-cord, the number of yards to the
pound, just as it is to-day. No. so
yarn made No. go thread, though in
point of fact the actual calibre of No.
60 thread would equal No. 20 yarn,
being made of three NO. 20 strands
twisted together.

THE LOTTERY FIGHT.
Death of the Man Whose Vote the Lot
terry Senators 50 Badly Needed.

New ORLEANS, July l0.-The Louis
lana Legislature adjourns tonight.
No new action was taken in the lottery
matter to-day, nor can any be taken
until thu Supreme Court rules in the
matter. The Lottery bill was passed
by both House and Senate by exactly
two-thirds majority. Then it was vetoed
bv the Governor. The House passed 1t
over the Governors veto. The Senate
tried to do 50, but lacked one vote in
consequence Of the illness OF Senator
Smith. At the last moment it decided
that the Governors veto was OF no
effect, as he could not veto a proposed
, constitutional amendment. This is the
case, SO it goes to the court, and the de-
cision of the Supreme Court on this
question will decide whether the ex-
tension of the lottery charter shall be
submitted to the popular vote.
If the juiicial decision is adverse it
will he fatal to the lottery. Ifit is
favorable, the company will yet have
to submit its claims to a popular cleo
ton in 1892. Opinion here is much
divided on the right of the Governor to
veto. The Senate tried hard to correct
the apparent defect in the bill yester-
day by meeting in the sick room of
Senator Fisher Smith, the absent
Senator, and overriding the veto, but
he was too sick man for this and died
this afternoon from Inflammation Of
the bowels, making the third member
of the Legislature who has died since
the session began.
THE VICTORY OF THE LOTTERY.
BATON ROUGE, La, July lO.-At a
late hour last night the House received
message from the Senate returning
the lottery bill and the veto thereto in
accordance with report of the Senate
Judiciary committee, which was like
wise sent, which report denies the right
of the Governor to veto constitutional
amendment. The House concurred in
the action of the Senate, and directed
the Secretary of State to proclaim the
amendment.
The Picayune this morning editori-
ally says: 1.-The right of the Governor
to veto the proposed amendment to the
Constitution has been formerly denied
by the General Assembly of Louisiana.
We believe that this decision is solidly
based on the Constitution"

4 Psychological Mystery,
Sallie Joy White, in March Wide
Awake.

Sallie Joy White, in March Wide
Awake.
4 friend of mine in New York has q
pet cockatoo, which amuseS the fam
lily greatly with its odd caprices. 1t is
a beautiful bird, snow-white with the
palest ulphur-colored crest. It has its
cage in one corner Of its mistress
room, near a window, and its perch
stands here also. 1t hates to be shut
up in the cage, and will cry and scream
and make the most doleful noises when
1t is not allowed freedom. This rarely
happens now, however, although until
a few months ago, Polly had to be shut
up when the family were out of the
room, for she was very naughty, and
tear things to pieces with her sharp
bill, as though she was doing some
thing funny. The moment she would
hear footstep she would jump on to
hes perch, look so innocent, and when
the door opened she would call out,
"Polly's here" as though she had been
there all the time. No matter how
much she was scolded, she would re-
peat the erformance the next time she
was left, so he had to be shut up.
But quite by accident her mistress
found out how she could keep Polly in
her own corner, aud now she is never
shut up. 1t happened this way: Last
Christmas Polly's master, just for fun,
bought his wife big japanese doll. 1t
was as large as a real baby, and had the
wisest, funniest look on its japanese
face that ever you saw. Instantly Polly
saw it she was perfectly awestruck.
What she thought it was nobody could
tell, but she would sit and watch it as
if fascinated, but she never could be
induced to go near it. If it was brought
to her she would give the queerestl lit
tie cry, and crouch down behind her
cage, her crest standing upright on her
head. She never can be induced to
pass it even to 60 to her mistress. Ard
so now when Polly is left alone, Mrs
Jap is set upon Mrs. Clark S work table,
and that is drawn little way from the
corner. Polly never attempts to go by ;
but she wanders from cage to perch,
looks out of the window at passers-by,
but never goes near the doll. Once and
q while she will sit on the top Of her
cage, and scream defiance at it, but she
always keeps at respectful distance,
and has one eye on the cage door so
that she may retreat in case her guard
makes a demonstration. She is sub
Polly, and although no doubt she raves
inwardly, she is obliged to forego her
propensity for tearing things to pieces.
But everybody who sees the funny
sight wishes it were possible to know
what Polly really thinks Of the doll,
and what the strange influence is that
this inanimate object exercises over
the mischievous bird.

POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.
The knights of LabOr's Views ON
the Question.

WASHINGTON, March THE House
committee on postoffice, etc., today re-
sumed consideration of postal telegraph,
and was addressed by Ralph Beaumont,
chairman of the legislative committee of
the Knights of Labor. Representative
Wade introduced in the last Congress a
bill for Government telegraph, en-
bodying the Knights of Labor's views,
but the bill died, with many others. He
did not think the Postmaster Generals
bill was a good business proposition.
What farmer would buy half farm when
he could buy whole one. The
Government was abundantly able
to buy the whole thing and
carry it on without furnishing business
opportunities for some one else. This
country now is practically government
of corporations, by corporations and for
corporations. DR.. Green, said Beau
mont, was solicitous about the people in
the telegraph business who would be
ruined by Government competition. Yet
he was president of the corporation that
had repeatedly crushed opposition COM
panies and other people who invested
money in the telegraph business. Wit
ness favored the Wade bill, and said the
Government should own, operate and
control it's own system. He admitted
that if the Wansmaker bill resulted in
cheap telegraph rates for the people
generally, he would be better pleased
than under the present system. He
wanted the Wade bill passed, but as all
legislation was the result of compromise,
he should be glad to see Wanamaker's
bill passed as an opening wedge.

THE LAKE SHORE WRECK
Revised List Of the Killed
and Injured.
A LOS ANGELES MAN HURT
Pathetic Incidents at the Scene OF
Disaster-A BridegrO0m's
Grief.

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
BUFFALO, March 7.-Following is re.
vised list of the killed in the accident
near Hamburg last night:
j. Swain, a colored porter.
John W. Flynn, Canton, Ohio, travel.
ing agent.
John T. Powers, Pittsfeld, Mass, trav.
cling agent.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. e. Stewart, Roches.
ter.
Mrs. Jos. D. Baucus, Saratoga Springs,
IN. Y.
This morning the bodies of the killed
were brought to the central depot, where
the Coroner took charge of them.
So far as known there are eighteen in
jured; tits believed none fatally. Among
the wounded are:
George Martin, of Boise City, Idaho
bruised on the chest; in the hospital.
Mr.. Davis, of Los Angeles slightly
hurt.
There we're many sad incidents con-
nected with the wreck, one of the sad
dest being the killing of Mrs. Joseph
Baucus, of Saratoga. She and her hus-
band were on their wedding trip, having
been married only about week. The
husband was terribly injured, but his
ply ysical suffering was nothing compared
to his mental agony. He acted in dis
tracted manner, calling on the doctors to
save her, and raving over her broken
and bruised body.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Stewart, of
Rochester, were killed instantly, while
their eighteen months old girl, in it's
mothers arms, did not receive scratch.
Superintendent Couch, of the Lake
Shore road, says the sleeping Car con-
ductor first discovered the break, and
went into three different cars, pulling the
automatic brake cords, and trying to stop
the rear section, but they would not
work. He was trying to set up the hand
brakes when the crash came. Couch
could not assign any reason for the fail
ure of the automatic air brakes to work.
They are generally reliable.
When asked why the engineer with
the front part of the train did not run
away from the rear section, he said the
brake occurred on down-grade and
that gave increased speed to the rear
section. The engineer claims that the
brakes on his section became set and he
could not get away from the rear part in
time. He did not discover the break
when it occurred, his attention being
necessarily directed ahead most of the
time.

Senator Blair Holds His
Party to Account.
1T is PLEDGED TO HIS BILL.
Why Does 1t Not Now Support It'
Congressional Proceedings
and Other News.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WAsHN GToN, March AFTER unim
portant business today the Senate pro
ceeded to bills ON the calendar.
Public building bills on the calendar
having been reached, the following were
passed: Oakland, California, $500, 900
Cheyenne, Wyoming, $150,OoO; Helena,
Montana, 100000.
The bill appropriating $500, 900 for
Salt Lake City, having been reached.
Plumb moved to reduce the ap-
preparation to 100000.
Paddock opposed the amendment, and
said site centrally located could not
be had for less than 100000 The ap-
preparation should be 100000. The
rents now being paid by the Government
amounted to $4,000 to $40, 900 year.
Plumb asserted that when he was in
Salt Lake City last summer a suitable
site could have been had for $25, 900 or
$4,000.
The bill went over without action, and
the Blair Educational bill came up as
unfinished business.
Hale opposed the bill.
Blair then addressed the Senate. He
insisted that the Republican party was
pledged in it's platform to the passage of
his bill, and he predicted that if that
party failed to make good its pledge, that
fact would put an end to the party. He
was not mistaken as to the source from
which most of the misrepresentation at
the North, concerning the bill, had
come. The Jesuitical power OF the
country had decided that the way to get
control of the schools was first to get
control of the press. The press had re-
ceived it's full space of attention, and
had manifested it's full share of subser-
viency. The New York papers were
monopolists of the worst kind, and the
country papers had been perverted and
poisoned by them.
After executive session the Senate ad-
journed until Monday.

LAMBERT AND JACKSON.
How the Troy Wrestler RaZZle.
DaZZIed the Pugil1st.

CLEVELAND, March Peter Jack
sons party arrived here today. In an
interview Parson Davies denied the
story that Jackson was nearly knocked
out at Troy by Lambert. The latter, he
said, lis a professional wrestler, weighing
240 pounds, who went in to get the 500
promised to any one who stood before
Jackson four rounds. "He got it, too"
said the Parson, mournfully. "He
would agree to no one for referee but
saloon. keeper friend, and then insisted
on eight-ounce gloves. Now what can
any one do with pillows? Then he
didn't fight; he rushed in, grabbed
Jackson around the waist and tried to
throw him. Peter obeyed the rules and
called for foul. The referee wouldn't
allow it then, or when Lambert repeated
his tactics. In fact all Lambert did was
to run around the stage trying to keep
away from Jackson, and when he failed
in that he would duck his head, and
rush in and catch Peter around the
waist. That was all there was to it,"

Bishop Bowman peposed.

CHICAGO, March THE conference OF
the Emanuel Evangelical church today
rendered the following verdict against
Bishop Bowman "The charges sre sus.
tanned: Bowman is found guilty and de.
posed from office as bishop and the min
istry until the next general conference. ("
The charge of "unchristian conduct"
consisted of numerous alleged slanderous
assertions against fellow ministers, and
numerous charges of fslsehood and un-
becoming language. One charge on the
latter ground was that he stigmatized the
action of a certain conference as "a
scheme conceived in hell and brought
forth i'll iniouity."

RAILROAD LANDS.
The House Bill for the FOrfeltur
of Unearned Grants.

The House Bill for the FOrfeiturt
of Unearned Grants.
WASHINGTON, March THE House
committee on public lands this morning
reported general land grant forfeiture
bill, framed on the same lines as the bill
passed by the Senate during the last
Congress. The bill forfeits to the United
States all lands opposite to and coter-
minous with the portion Of any railroad
not now completed and in operation, for
the construction benefit of which the
lands have heretofore been granted pro-
vided, however, that this shall not be
construed as forfeiting lands heretofore
earned by the construction of any por.
tioDs OF railroad, under any act of Con-
gress making grant of public lands.
Persons in possession of any forfeited
lands, under title derived from State or
corporation to which the restored lands
were granted, are given the right to pur-
chase the lands from the United States,
in quantities not exceeding 320 acres by
any one person, at the rate of $l.25 per
acre, at any time within two years after
the passage of the act. Where persons
or corporations hold land to which under
the terms of the act they cannot obtain
tAsAo AAolh thO OhlbCo Obhtcb, tu0y 10
given six months within which to remove
growing crops or improvements which
may have been made. A clause added
to this section provides that it shall not
apply to any lands in Iowa on which any
person in good faith has made or asserted
a right to make pre-emption or home
stead settlement.
The bill repeals certain sections of the
several acts in regard to land grants in
Iowa and Minnesota, which conflict with
it's provisions. In homestead entries of
forfei ted lands, parties will be given
credit for the time they already have
been on the lands. If it be found that
any lands heretofore granted the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company and re-
stored to the public domain, lie north of
the Harrison line" in Washington, per-
sons who acquired title to these lands
from the railroad company, prior to July
1st, 1885, will be entitled to purchase the
lands within one year from the United
States, at the rate of $3.50 an acre. The
city of Portland, Oregon, is confirmed in
certain riparian rights of way which it
secured, in order to obtain good water
supply. In cases where grants were
made to aid the construction of the main
and branch line. and the grants conflict,
but only one line has been com Dleted,
the grant shall not inure to the benefit
Of the completed road.
