CALL WON'T GET a CERTIFICATE.
Gov. Fleming Will Not Sign the Senator's
Reelection Credentials.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August S.-As
predicted in previous dispatches to the
Sun, Gov. Fleming has refused to Ger
tify to the reelection of Senator Call
last May. The Governors open letter,
sent broadcast over the State to-day,
causes a great deal of dismay in the
Call ranks and the anti-Call crowd are
elated. The letter has been expected,
though the conservative element was
in hopes that he would drop his par
tisanship and do what would be for
the best interests of the party in the
State.
Gov. Fleming must low face party
breach that will be widened day by
day till it will probably reach such a
climax that the Republicans by COM
bining with one wing or the other
will put their men into power. The
Governors letter simply repeats the
arguments advanced by the anti-Call
crowd when they made their fight
against the Senator at Tallahassee.
Mr.. Chipley, by common rumor, will
receive certificate from the Cover
nor. He is very bitter toward Call.
He is several times millionaire and
is said to show no disposition to make
a vigorous fight.

MADE THE HEAVENS LEAK.
Uncle Jerry Rusk's Rain-Compeller Seems
to Work in Te1as-A Heavy Rainfall
Follows Ten Hours After Several
Bombs We're Exploded.

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. ia special
from Midland, Tex, to the Dallas
News says that the rainfall expedition
from the United States Department OF
Agriculture reached Midland on We'd
nesday and have so far made two sue
cessful experiments. The News report
er interviewed one of the party to-day,
who said:
Saturday and Monday last part of
the rain-making apparatus only was
set up and the preliminary trial made
simply to test the efficiency of the spe-,
cial blasting powder which is being
manufactured at the grounds from ma
terial brought with Us. Several bombs
were exploded by means Of electrical
dynamos. Although this powder is very
powerful, we were by no means conf
dent that the explosion would have any
practical effect upon the meteorological
conditions. However, about ten hours
after the explosion clouds gathered and
heavy rain fell, extending many
miles.
1--WE do not think the explosions ac-
tually produced the storm, as they were
not on large enough scale, but they
were undoubtedly instrumental in pre-
cipitating the moisture which the
clouds brought to that locality and
greatly increased the intensity of the
storm and the quantity Of the rainfall,
which was greatest in the immediate
vicinity in the place Of operation We
will continue cautiously to make tests
as to the density of the atmosphere In
this particular locality, so that our
bombs may be adopted to meet every
possible condition, and when we nave
sufficiently satisfied ourselves upon
these similar points the decisive exper.
iment will be made. This Will not
occur FOR several days"
The News reporter did not witness
the experiments referred to above, but
can testify to the rain falling in Mid.
Law, over twenty miles from the spot OF
operations, the first good rain for sew
eral months.

GORMANIS THEIR MAN.
The Farmers Alliance, Of Maryland, Is
Friendly to the Democrats Great
Leader.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. l3.-The
Farmers State Alliance adjourned sine
die.
The final act Of the convention be-
fore the adjournment was g declaration,
which was put in the form of a resolu-
ton, that the Farmers Alliance, of the
State of Maryland, is in no way antag-
onistic to United States Senator Cor
man, and that any publication that the
farmers were inimical to, or in 0pposi-
ton to the distinguished senior senator
of the state, was without warrant, and
had no foundation in fact.
The speeches made in presenting the
resolution, and before its adoption,
went to show thai the Farmors' Alli-
ance was not only not hostile to Sena-
tor German, but was very much in alli-
ance both with himself and his princi-
pleS.

AIS HEAD WAS A GOLD MINE.
A Goldsmith Carried OF Dust in His Hair

New YORK, July 30.-A man with a
veritable gold mine in his hair was ar
rested here to-day. He is Moses Israel
sky, a goldsmith, recently from Rus
sia. He worked for Eden Hayden a
local goldsmith.
Shortly after Moses made his debut
in Hayden's shop the proprietor began
to miss about half his gold dust. Then
the man from Russia was watched.
Every day ne turned up at the shop
with bis long curly hair neatly oiled,
as if he was going to charity ball.
After getting his fingers covered with
gold-dust, Moses would carelessly run
his hand through his hair. The pre-
cious metal would stick. At night the
cunning Jews head would sparkle
with the yellow dust. He would care
fully wash it off at night and re-
peat his operation next day. Hun
dreds of dollars worth Of gold was
thus carried off.
He is now in the Tombs in default

figures, being thought Of, he has readily
announced what it or they were, calling
them out singly or in combination,
as desired. Fer instance, suppose that
the figures 5. 3, and S were separately
thought of. Then these were promptly
told out, one by one, and announced
singly as thought Of; or suppose, again,
these were thought Of as 53S, then this
number, or 53S, would be told. Some
time ago, knowing that he did not
understand Latin. I improvsed short
Latin sentepce-est mihi voluntas ut
legis mean mentem'-and asked him
to tell me what it was. This was made
out slowly, but quite accurately, the
words being spelled out, letter by letter.
1t is proper to say, too, that these were
called out at once, without going over
the alphabet and getting at them IN
this way, one by one, on the order OF
table rapping.' Nothing was said,
really, more then to call out the letters
in their proper order.
"Without mentioning other feats OF
this young man the question next
occurs: Upon what other ground can
we explain this telling of figures and
calling out Latin than upon the silent
impress of mind upon mind? This is
the explanation, in fact, that young
Taylor gives of mis- mind reading,' as
it is called; or that he only interprets
every thing by impression. He knows
nothing ofmuscle reading, feels nothing
of the sort, sees nothing, hears nothing,
is not aware even IF any particular
exaltation of the perception, but simply
finds certain thoughts or wishes Of
another impressed on him. His great
difficulty, he says, is to get a correct
impression from some who either lack
concentration of mind or allow the too
frequent intrusion Of other thoughts
into it. For a good effect impressions
must be forcible and sharp cut, and
the mind must be kept steadily and as
exclusively as possible on the subject.
He thinks the hand acts only as con-
ductor of impression, and regards it
indispensable for that purpose, as the
current of impression is transmitted IN
this way, without which be could tell
nothing. In conclusion, I may add
that in his performances there's usually
considerable disturbance of his physical
being. His respiration often becomes
slow and labored, pulse usually goes up
from ten to twenty beats above normal
to the minute, there is heavy signing at
times, and sometimes 80 much exhaus-
ton as to necessitate temporary rest"

Sell When There's a Demand.
Philadelphia Record. !

A year ago, when cotton was SELL
ing at III cents per pound, and the
largest crop in the history of the South
was about being picked, the farmers
organizations were as busily engaged
in pledging producers to 'hold their
cotton" in order to maintain high
prices as the Alliance people are
to-day in advising growers to "hold
their wheat" The price of cotton has
not been as high since last July as it
was at that time; and it is to-day n
abundant supply ats cents per pound.
AS the New York Commercial Bulle-
tin points out in an article on this
subject, there is a lesson to wheat
producers in the story Of the last cot
ton year that may be studied with
profit throughout the grain-growing
districts. The time to sell is when
everybody wants to T;sad- the
holders of wheat who Keyn this truisn
will probably come>out with better
balance on the profit side of their books
than will those who shall hold their
grain until somebody else shall have
! supplied the demand.

owner desires to place mortgage on 1t.
Then where do these S40,000,000 mort
cages come from? T do not know, but
tn ey are certainly not on the farms OF
the district. If a man desires to specu-
late and buys more land than ne can
pay for that is his misfortune and he
must stand it. Certainly this class OF
.arners should not be credited with
doing all the losing business.
"Yes, consider the Texas farmers to
be in very good shape all round. Two
years ago they made splendid crops ana
received good prices for them. Last
wear crops were good also, and If they
are not prepared to stand a little loss
now they 'er will be.
This is the way I look at it: The
cotton crop is large, but there is no
over-production, for the worlds con-
sumption of cotton is also very large.
Prices are low, not because of anything
with which cotton has to do, but SIM
ply because the worlds business has
been stagnated by the vast financial
difficulties we have gone through. The
wheat supply of Europe is short, while
we are making the largest crop ever
produced in America. This wheat
movement is certain to produce revival
Of speculation and business, and this
last may produce an active demand for
cotton. Low prices are rapidly reduc-
ing stocks by removing all the undeslr-
able grades of cotton, and in month
or two the history of 1879 may be re-
peated and cotton advance SIS or $50
bale. I don't say that it will, mind
that, but do say that it may. Sup
pose our wheat crop had failed, also, or
that Europe had made a good crop,
also, and did not need any Of ours?
Where would we have been then? You
see things are not quite so bad as they
might have been.

THE ESCORTED GIRL.
She Is IN Interesting Creature and You
Like Her Ways.

From the Boston Home Journal.
These are the days when the es-
corted girl is prevalent. You can tell
her at glance. The girl whose brothers
are accustomed to take her about has
an air of good fellowship which is un-
mistakable. She is as much at home
when being taken for ride in an open
street car by said brothers, or when &C.
cepting or sharing theatre treat, as if
she were a boy, or the brothers were
girl friends. But the escorted girl is
a study which is most amusing. She
is of many kinds, but the general all
of being escorted is alike in all yarie-
ties.

There are women, I find, who never
get beyond this stage. They are girls
of suggestive possibilities who never
realize all that they promise, for some
undefnable reason. They never grow
sure of their rights, never wear them
with authority. This class Of women
is not uncommon. I recollect them
in my youth. One often made great
efforts to be made acquainted with
them, and never got any further. They
are often prettier than less attractive
girls, but lacking reality they are only
Inspiring to the imagination. Femi-
ninity is hard to classify, however, and
there is as much difference of opinion
about it as about religion.

You meet her in the street. There is
a self-consciousness about her which
attracts your attention at once to the
fact thatshe is accompanied by young
man, for there is nothing which holds
its italicizing so long as this. You see
her in the open cars bound for ride,
and bearing all over herself the i'm
print of having been invited. You
watch her at the play. 1t is almost as
interesting as the play itself especially
if the play is an old one. And no
where do you see more of her than at
church, especially at the vespers.

All women do not of course belong to
that class. The escorted girl has the
conscious air of having just discovered
that she is desirable, but not having
yet learned for q certainty that she is
worth while. She has the conscious
ness of suspecting that man is her nat
ural prey, but of not being certain that
she will get the chance to devour him.
She enjoys the sensations CT being de-

the desire will grow by what it feeds
