Rumors About Stanford.

RumOrs have been af1oat about Wash
ington for some time concerning the
health of Senator Stanford, and the
friends of the millionaire senator no
longer attempt to conceal their appre-
tensions The recent changes in the
Southern Pacific directory in San Fran
cisco, and the senator's rupture with G..
P. Huntinton have brought in much
light concerning Stanford's mental con-
dition that was not before known. Pri-
vate letters frop San Francisco state
that the senator will shortly leave for a

The Racine Murderer Convicted.

BENzONIA. Mich, April 3n.-The trial
of c. t. Wright, of Racine. Wis, who
killed Officers Marshall and Thurber at
Otter Creek, last August, came to a
close this evening with verdict by the
jury of guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree. The closing addresses were made
by the lawyers, that of the prosecuting
attorney being a scathing arraignment
of the prisoner, and during his fierce
denunciations Wright's sister tainted
away and was borne unconscious from
the court room. The judges charge was
brief and is considered impartial, but
the evidence establishing the murder
was very strong and the general feeling
is that it was uniusti6able.

The French Stove,


Eli Perkins thus describes the French
stove: "The stove is about the,size of an
ice water tank in Pullman car. 1t is
loaded with two quarts Of coal, the small
three inch pipe adjusted to the chimney
and the coal lighted. After burninga while
the draft is shut off, and the stove is
wheeled around the room. The room is
warmed in sections. First it is wheeled
up to the old man, who throws out his fin
gers; then across to the old lady, who en-
braces it, and then up to the baby. Then
it is wheeled back to the chimney, the
draft opened and the fire rekindled There
are usually two chimney holes about the
room.
"After one room has been treated to a
fire the stove is rolled into the hall or into
another room, or taken by the handle and
carried upstairs. The same stove is used
in the bedroom to dress by, rolled into the
breakfast room like baby carriage, then
into the sitting room. 1t is multum in
parvo. 1t is cook stove, fireplace and
furnace The American who burns ten
tons of coal in range, twelve tons in a
furnace and two tons in CRATES is amazed
when he sees whole house in Paris warm
ed with one ton of coal. The twenty tons
used by the American would warm the
Boulevard des Italiens. Such overstrained
economy has, however, its disadvantages

Gobe1in Tapestries Rare.

A beautiful piece of tapestry represent
ing the alteration of Magi has just been
placed in Exeter college. 1t is designed by
Mr.. Burne-Jones and is executed by the
house of William Morris, of London.
There is not known to be single piece of
Gobelin tapestry in the United States, not
withstanding the every day references to
Gobelin in descriptions of palatial houses.
The highest authority in this country adj
mits that in all his European travels he
had never seen single piece of genuine
Gobelin tapestry except as show pieces in
royal museums.
The SO called Gobelin tapestries display
ed in the United States are in reality Au-
busson. These hangings, containingquai
pictures of feudal times, turreted castles
with knightly figures in armor and stately
danes in courtly array, make especially
effective panels for libraries and dining
rooms. They are all woven by hand loom
and are not the work of the needle. The
most beautiful of these tapestries, which
approaches genuine Gobelin in it's exquisite
fneness, is the one now owned by the Hoff
man house in this city. 1t was first brought
to this country by A. 7. Stewart, shown as
Gobelin tapestry and believed to be such
by many experts. 1t is known now not to
be Gobelin and the fact that it was sold
for but few thousand dollars, and with
but little competition, goes to show how
uniform was the verdict of the experts on
a closer eXamination.-New York Tribune.

Caught in a Snakes Coil.

William Hill, young man who lives
with Mr.. Ransom, at Arant, Union county,
n. c., had an experience which he will be
likely to remember for some time. While
walking through an old field Mr.. Hill was
confronted by large snake of the coach
whip variety. The snake was within few
feet of Mr.. Hill, with head erect three or
four feet from the ground. Giving vent to
a keen whistle it sprang at the young man.
and before Mr.. Hill could resist it entwined
itself around his body and arms. Hill
could not get his bnife, but managing to
get one hand partially loose he grasped the
snake and began tugging away for dear
life. Fortunately his dog was with him,
and seeing the peril of his master came to
his relief. Hill, with the assistance of the
dog, managed to free himself from the af-
fectionate embrace of his snakeship, which
then ran up a cedar tree a short distance
away.
Hill gathered some stones, and, going up
to within ten feet of the tree, was prepar-
ing to dislodge the snake with the argu-
ments used by certain old gentleman on
the small boy in his apple tree, but the
snake did not wait for Mr.. Hill to renew
the battle. Springing from the tree it
made second attack upon him, but as it
came Mr.. Hill threw up his arm and
warded it off. Before it recovered itself
the dog again attacked it, and this time
succeeded in breaking the back of the snake.
Mr.. Hill then dispatched it.-Richmond

Not to Be Bribed.

Colonel Ludlow, who was chief of the
water department of large city, one day
received a call from a wealthy manufact-
urer, whose establishment had many favors
to ask of the department. Before this
man made his requests he handed the
colonel $50 bill, which the colonel
laid upon the desk before him, with
out saying a word. When his visitor rose
to go. however, he inquired:
''Now, my dear sir, what is this fors'
holding up the bill.
"Oh, that's to buy cigars for the boysm
"Yes; then suppose you are fond of the
weed?"
The manufacturer acknowledged that
he did like a good cigar.
"Then allow me-" said the chief, in his
most genial manner, ''to insist upon your
trying one of these"
He took two cigars from box, lighted
his own with the fifty dollar bill. and
passed the burning paper to his amazed
visitor. The man said nothing, but he
never made second attempt to bribe Col.

This is the place-the mountain bay
Is wild and stern and grand.
AS when the Lion held the way
That barred his mother land.
Long years and change and earthquake
shock
Have wrought upon the scene;
Where once the sea waves Tapped the rock
Are meadow lands grown green;
But Oeta still looms vast and gray
To hide the setting sun.
And still the mountains bar the way,
And every way but one;
The sulphur springs still fume and flow
Along the rough hillside,
And far off Othrys veiled in snow
Sees where the Spartan died.
There is a spirit haunts the place
Where mighty deeds were dared,
Though time and change have left no trace,
And not a grave be spared;
And climbing up the grassy hill
Where Sparta's lion stood
The heart still answers to the thrill
That marks the hero mood.
And as read the page again,
That quickens from the dust

Who died to keep their trust,

Gum Starch.

If starch is heated over a gentle flame,
and constantly stirred to prevent burning
1t acquires after while yellow and
finally brownish yellow color, and then
possesses the new property of dissolving in
either cold or hot water into mucilagi-
nous liquid. This is called dextrine, and is
used as a gum for many useful purposes.
Starch gum of white color may also be
made by mixing half an ounce of starch
with one drachm of water and four drops
of nitric acid. Let the mixture dry in the
air, and evaporate the nitric acid at gen.

SIGNIFICANT.

The result Of Tuesdays elections
in the New England and the North
western States may be regarded as
very significant, demonstrating the
fact that the very small amount Of
tariff leaven, distributed during the
Cleveland Administration, is slow
ly but surely permeating the mind
of the American people, and thatthe
unprecedented Democratic gainsin
all the States where elections have
been held this year must be attrib-
uted to some more powerful agency
than mere "of years" or Republi-
can apathy.
A discriminating and burden
some tariff and the Republicanidea
that the Treasury Of the United
States belonged tothe Grand Army,
and the defiant outrages perpetra-
ted and attempted by the present
Congress on the rights and liber-
ties of the people are beyond ques-
ton the moving causes of this wide
spread revolution.
The patient and unwieldly mass
es are always slow to discover the
real cause of their burdens and are
10th to resent the specious legisla-
ton which compel the many to
contribute to the few, that the poor
may grow poorer and the rich may
grow richer. But when once fully
aroused and thoroughly impressed
that a wicked injustice is being
done them, no power on earth can

check the tidal wave of revolution
that will sweep over the country.
The heavy gains made Tuesday
by the Democrats in some Of the
strongest Republican and the most
highly protected manufacturing
districts, show beyond any ques-
ton of q doubt the cause of the
wonderful political changes now
going on, and show further that
Democracy has only to steadily adj
here to the line of tariff policy, as
laid down by honest Grover leve-
land, to insure their return to pow
er in 1892.
That the Democratic idea of pop
ular government is steadily gain
ing favor with the people can no,
longer be refuted or denied, even
by Republican demagogues. Its
leading features are that govern
ment should be for and by the
people; that this is a white mans
country; that indiscriminate pen
sion allowances are inimical to,the
best interests of the people, and
that a discriminating tariff tax is
unjust and contrary to the spirit Of
our Government. These gotomake
up the differences between the two
great parties of the present day,
and should be and are gravely be-
ing considered by the people.
The Republicans claim that pro-
lection enables our manufacturers
to pay better wages to their en-
ployes and that they do pay better
wages than free-trade countries,
can not be sustained by the proof,
nor can it be proven that the con-
dition Of the laboring masses in
this country is better than that of
free-trade England. 1t may be
true that our laborers are paid more
per day in dollars and cents as a
rule, but the difference will not be-
gin to pay the excessive tariff on
nearly all the necessaries of life
which the laborer is compelled to
purchase. Take every class of la
borers in this country, and you
will find those employed by pro-
tected industries in a worse condi-
ton than any other. In fact four
years ago this was about the only
dissatisfied class we had. All the
labor riots, strikes, and suffering
come from the protected districts,
and these people are slowly realiz-
ing the truth that protection does
not protect them, but makes mil
lionaires Of their employers.
The political revolution now 60
ing on is exceedingly significant.
