DON'T EXPECT roo MUCH

The IdCaa suggested yesterday IN rela
ton to the Board Of Trade trustees seemed
to meet With pretty general approval
The Board Of Trade should be an agEre
CATION Of citizens organized for the pur-
pose Of promoting the business interests
Of the city. To expedite business the
bolrd delegates to a board Of trustees,
which is really 10 executive committee,
the authority to transact business in its
behalf. Il should therefore in n manner
be supplemental 10 the city council, step
ping in where the law places limitations
on the latter body and carving out
schemes for she public good which are BE-
the REsElace of the municinAl body.
There eau be no doubt hat under
proper conditions Board of Trade
trustees may prove of great
and lasting benefit to a community.
They are an organized body representing,
if not the city, the business interests of
the city, and through them the business
community msy be readily reached. To
such a body as this the man with a
scheme uarurally gravitates and it is their
duty to separate the wheat from the chaff.
If the scheme promises veil they are led
to investigate its merits and pass iudg-
ment on its possible benefit to the town.
1t is they Who should ascertain the exact
business standing Of every man or set Of
men who seeks to secure a bonus from
the citizens. They should discover his or
their exact business standing and then
bind him or them with competent %sureties
to carry out whatever contract is under
taken. This work should be undertaken
exactly as though it were so many private
individuals that were entering into a con
tract, and with It should end the iesponsi
btlity of the trustees. 1t should then be
a question with the Board Of Trade as to
the extent Of the bonus.
There is a general misapprehension that
back Of every request for a bonus is a
scheme to deha1d the public. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that this Is frequently the
case but there some arc legitimate enter
prises which would prove by considerable
benefit If they can be secured for moth
ing land they seldom cam then it will pay
in the long run to give them a reasonable
amount of financial encouragement. 1t
is,tbis plan which has marvellously aid
the growtL Of every western city and Chcy-
cnnc may be assured 1t it is going to ad.
vance rapidly 10 Importance 1t must follow
much the same plan. If the general
opinion is opposed to this there is no
need of maintaining a Beard of Trade
for this is after all its most important
work. We behave the brewery scheme
should still be siited to the bottom. II it
is nothing but a money making device for
its projectors without reierenoeto the good
of this community it should be dropped
like a hot potato. II, on the other hand it
has merit we should not let slip through
our fingers.

An GAkAG ANAAA
Thomas Shelby, a farmer, living eight
miles from Lexington, Ky, on the
Richmond turnpike, had a desperate en-
counter with a wounded eagle recently.
He was OFT riding over his farm
when he discovered a large bird perched
on the topmost limb of a tree. At the
first glance he thought the bird to be a
black buzzard, but as he drew nearer
he concluded that it must be an eagle.
he noticed that the bird kept eying his
dogs, which were near the tree. Shelby
took advantage OF this fact and rode up
close to the tree on the opposite side
from the dogs. He had his shotgun
with him, loaded with small shot.
When he reached a point about thirty
yards from the tree he fired. The eagle
came crashing down through the
branches and Shelby ran to pick 1t up.
The load of shot was too small to do
more than disable the bird by breaking
its wings.
AS Shelby approached the bird of free
dom turned and dashed at him with the
ferocity Of a tiger. BY rapid lodging
he managed 70 keep out of reach Of the
birds claws for several moments. He
finally picked up a fallen limb, and zach
time the bird dashed at him he avoided
it and struck and rsined effective blows
upon the vicious bird Of freedom. 1t
was not, however, until he had mashed
its head almost to a jelly that the bird
gave up the fight. Shelby escaped with
a number of scratches and took the bird
to Lexington, where it was placed on
exhibition. 1t is of the species known
as the gray eagle, and is the first one
killed in this part of the country for
many years. 1t weighed seventeen
pounds and measured nearly seven feet
from tip to tip.-CincinnAti Enquirer.

Changes of Climate

Kill more people than is generally known.
Particularly is this the case in instances
where the constitution is delicate, and
among our immigrant population seeking
new homes IN those portions Of the West,
aud where malarial and typhoid fevers
prevail at certain seasons of the year.
The best preparative for a change Of
climate, or Of diet and water which that
change necessitates, is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which not only i%ortities the
system against malaria, 4 variable tenn
perature. damp. and the facilitating eff
tects of tropical heat. but is also the lead
ing remedy for constipation, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, bodily troubles specially
apt I attack emigrants and visitors to
regions near the equator, mariners and
tourists. Whether used as a safeguard
by sea voyagers, travellers by land, miners
or of agricul,urists in newly populated
districts, this fine specific has ehcited the
most favorable testimony.

The intelligence of the horse has Just
been demonstrated at Vesper, near SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, on the extensive farm of ex-
Sheriff @. G. Burroughs. Among his
herd Of Hambletonian horses in a field
was 4 brood mare and a sucking colt.
A few days ago the mother partly pulled
n of her shoes off. With a great deal
of "horse sense she jumped out OF the
pasture and went to E. E. Moons black
smith shop. The smithy started to drive
the animal away, but finally discovered
and reset the bent shoe. The mare then
went contentedly back to the pasture,
scaled the fence and was once more min
gled with the herd.-Cincinnati Com

DR.. Dupre has placed on record his opin-
ion that a gallon OF oil would in n very
short time cover an area rather in excess
of two square yards to the thickness of
one-tenth of an inch. such a film would
admit of the easiest possible ignition. Al
ter the lapse Of a few minutes the oleagi-
nous film would have become much more
attenuated, and would consequently be
much more difficult to set on fire. 1t Is
Just possible, however, that the thicker
film, being fired first, would rapidly com
municats the flames to the thinner portion,
or that the oily coating might have above
1t concentrated petroleum vapor, which,
once ignited, would form a ready medium
for the transmission of the flame to the
oil itself.-Chambers' Journal.

Carpenters drilling a mortise into a
heavy oak scantling at Cromwell, on the
Connecticut river, a few days ago, dis
placed n solid knot and found two crickets
in a little round cavity behind the knot.
The crickets were alive, but not very
lively, and were of a pale, wary hue,
with yellow spots IN their backs. They
died within a few moments after they
had been exposed to the air. How did
they get walled into the little hollow in
the scantling2 Unquestionably they
crawled into a knot hole in the stick

ing tree, and the wood grew about them.

with Speaker-elect Crisp in the 47th and

to say to GAZETTE reporter on Tuesday
morning in regard 10 his old confrere Mr..

of Speaker. He is remarkable for his cool
ness and self-possession and the persistency
with which he advocates and maintains
that which he believes to be right.

last Congress, the Dist, he was the man
whom the Democrats relied upon in any
close contest TO meet and hold in check the
movements OF ex-Speaker Reed.
PRISONER AT FORT DELAWARE.
"IIe is one of the most genial and af-
fable men have met. He was recognized
soon after his appearance on the
floor Of the House as one OF the
most promising men of that body. He
is AZ years of age. He has a military record
and as Georgian officer of the Confederate
army was captured in the late war and
was imprisoned at Fort Delaware. He is
a lawyer of fine professional attainments.
He was twice elected to the supreme bench

is earnest and very impressive. His adj
dress is remarkable for the comprehensive
way he handles his subject and for the
terse and pithy language he uses. His
voice is clear and far-reaching vet very
musical. His typo OF physiognomy very
much resembles that of William T. Lyman
of this city. If you add two or three
inches to Mr.. Lynam's height you would
have fair idea of the type of man Mr..
| Crisp is.
THE CONFIDENCE OF DEMOCRATS.
HE has the full confidence of the Dem
ocrats of the House. lie is the quickest
man in the House of Representatives to
catch Il point and he cannot be swerved
from the side Of right, lie is recognized
as the one man in the House around
whom all classes of Democrats would
gather and on whose Judgment they would
most implicitly RELY. He is q born leader
of men and is considered the hest parlia-
mentarian in the House Of Representa-.
tives.

denly upon dazzling things
that started his eyes with Won
der. To him-news. Per-
haps the same to you.
The surprise was in and
about the little Turkish Room
in the Upholstery section,
second floor, Thirteenth street.
In times past we have made a
panic in adjectives when writ
ing about our Oriental EN-
broideries. Sincere always
and truthful in all that we
have ever stated on the sub
ject, we drop the adjectives
now perforce. Drop them in
the presence Of an array of
Turkish Embroideries that
makes all past collections seem
pale. Drop them-they are
unequal to the occasion.
This is one of the out-of-
the-way places that the crowds
do not seek. 1t points the
truth of our advice-"ex-
plore. The brilliant things
in Embroidery of gold and
silk on various ground textiles
are all about. Gay, not
gaudy. You could not think
Of a Saracen as gay and friv-
olous. Alert, active, terrible,
mysterious-never frolicsome.
So a touch of seriousness
comes into the merchandise,
makes the brilliant rich and
gives the restful touch to the
highest color.
