DUCKBD FARMER FOOS.
Horsemen Take Revenge for Seeding

AorSemen rake Revenge for Sen ding
Their II rises to the Pound.
From the NetU York Recorder
Joseph Wells, Charles Polhemus, and
Charles F:gg are in the Hackensack jail
upon a commitment by Judge Cummings
TO await the action of the grand jury. They
are charged by Farmer August Foos of Fair
park. Bergen county, with hevi z gwen
him du king in pond adjoining his farm.
1t is supposed that the three men belong to
a band of inerant horse dealers and have
taken a temporary residence at Paterson,
n. J. One of their horses got into a corn
field of Farmer Foos', and having done con-
side able damage. was caught by the latter
and delivered 10 the poundmaster, who held
the animal for charges. The three men
resented Foos' actioI, and. after chasi g
him all over the farm, succeeded in getting
hold OF HIM aud threw him repeatedly into
the deep pond, from which he saved himself
only with much difficulty.
Upon Foos' complaint the men were ar
ressed by Sheriff Hering and taken to
Hackensack. They pleaded piteousiy VITA
the sheriff not to lock them up, claiming to
be Odd Fellows and giving the sheriff all
the signs and passwords to testify to their
claim. The sheriff, who is q brother and
member of MInietta lodge at Yves wood,
acknowledged aud responded to the signs,
but his oath or Office prevented him from
extending his brotheriy love to the ethren
in his charge. When the three men saw
that their scheme did not work they tried
the charm of money on the sheriff, aud
offered him S5l-all they had-as the price
of their liberty. Sheriff Haring, however.
remained immovable and locked the fellows
up and arraig ed them this morning before

ROUGH ON THE MINISTER.

A preacher got me in q corner at social
gathering last night and told me this incl
dent: The preacher was out driving with
one of his deacons enc day, wi en- the horse
shed a shoe and they were compelled to
haul In at black 'mIth's for repairs. Con-
temptation Of the blscksmith's work brought
up the subject of horses feet aud SUISSE
quently human feet, and the deacon finally
got down to the tender topic Of his OWN pet
corn.
"Do you know" said the deacon TO the
parson. "tnat when l was at church last
Sunday morning that d COMPOUNDED corn
bothered me terribly. During your whole
sermon / was suffering acutely."
The parson expressed his sympathy.
Yes" continued the deacon, ''it is a
vicious corn. and l feel mighty grateful

down at the Office it doesn't bother me so
much, bscau,e there have something to

SEVEN DOLLARS FOR A BEARD.

The perennial fight between the railroad
people and the indefatigable "scalpern goes
on apace
The ''scalper" once had things pretty
much his own way. The purchaser of q
ticket from New York to Indianapolis who
only wanted to 60 as far as Chicago, sold
the surplusaye of his ticket to a Chicago
"scalper," who tur cd it over to some one
going from Chicago to Indianapolis and
made money. Cheap easternward tickets
for Boston left good margin Of profit on a
barter in New York.
By and by the railway people got disgust
ed with this practice, and set their wits to
work to devise way and means of circum-
venting the ''soalper" IL did no good to
forbid the transfer of ticket. 1t did little
more good to have a name written on it,

cal tendency we're as willing to be consid-

wise some more concrete form of circum-
vention.
The other day a California man discov-
cred the present status of the railway and
scalper row.
This California man has been spending
some time IN New York, and when he made
up his mind to steer westward again he
went to scalper and received directions for
the purchase of ticket for San Francisco
sell the return part Of the ticket at the
California capital. The purchasers name
went on the ticket in due form, and then
the scalper described to the California man
that when The conductor punched the ticket
he would follow plan by which the punch
hole on series of lines and spaces indicates
not only whether the traveller is man or
woman, but whether, if he is a man, he has
beard, mustache or ia clean shaven,
The purchaser in this instance had full
beard, and the scelper explained that this
was commercially unfortunate since it re-
duced the possibility Of ready sale III San
Francisco. Only man with a full beard
could buy and use the ticket for the east
ward trip.
''If you had no beard" said the scalper,
II could sell you this ticket little cheaper "

the California man.

How Do Pearls Crow

Professor Qurkett seems to believe that
all pearls are produced by the boring of
small animals through the shell and the
pushing forward the inner plate of nacre
so as to irritate the animal. That pearls
can be produced in this way there is no
doubt; that all pearls are produced in this
way | doubt very much, says writer in
Notes and Queries. Another writer on the
subject Of breeding pearls tells the follow
ing: Nearly five years ago. while staying
with some kind friends in Puio, Penang
Straits of Malacca), was shown by lady
resident, wife of a merchant of high posi-
ton in this island, some five ordinary look
ing small pearls, which had increased and
multiplied while in her possession. She
had set them aside for about a twelve
month in a small wooden tscrewi box
about two and a half inches broad and one
and half inches high, they were packed
in soft cotton and accompanied by half a
dozen grains of common rice. On opening
the receptacle at the expiration of the
above time she found four additional
pearls. These myself saw and examined
not long after the lady had made the dis
covery, beautiful little things they were.

Col. LIVINGSTON of Georgia, presi-
dent of the Farmers Alliance Of that
state and member OF congress, is as
reckless in dealing with figures as are
the rest of the calamity shrielers. In
a recent speech he made the startling
assertion that in 1866 there was total
of 81, 1888, .573 in circulation in the
United States, Or So per capita. AT
that time the population of the country
was 5000, 900, which could not have
allowed S52 for each person. even if the
volume of circulation as given by Mr..
Livingston were correct. The report
Of the chief of the bureau of statistics
gives the amount of paper circulation
in the United States in 1866 at St0S,.
OBJ, 600 At that time, as is we'll known,
this was the sole money of the country,
there being no gold or silver. in use.
The pro rata of circulation was not So,
by any means, but 1895. The per
capita OF money now in the country is
greater than it ever has been, but it is
nothing like $52. What we now need
is not so much money as great deal
more confidence, and the repeal of the
alien land law

THE DEAD PARNELL.

To Mr.. Parnell death came too late.
He lived year too long for his own
good. Had he been taken away a
year ago he would have left an honora-
BILE name and an illustrious record to
his country. The man who died yes
terday was dishonored, overthrow,
repudiated by the people whose great
est delight had been to testify to their
love. for him. From the time of his en-
trance into politics in 1875, nothing had
been denied his asking, until he fell
into fatal liaison with a woman, who
dragged him down from his high estate
and wrecked the fortunes of the un-
crowned king of Ireland.
Though only forty-tive years old,
Parnell had spent sixteen years OF that
time in active official life. He was sent
to parliament in 1875. and soon after

began to take stand among the lead
ers for Irish advancement. Within
three years from mis- entrance in par
Lament he had displaced Mr.. Butt, the
then leader of the Irish organization in
England. From that time his infu-
ence grew until he became in effect
the absolute dictator Of the Irish party.
His triumphs We're many. While on
a visit to this country in 1880 he had
the distinguished honor to be invited to
address the house of representatives at
Washington, which had been bestowed
upon but two men before him, two OF
whom were Lafayette and kossuth.
His strength and importance in the
Irish cause led to his arrest by the En-
glish government, and he spent several
months in Kilmainham Jail, which
made him martyr in the eyes of the
Irish people, and gave him an almost
irresistible hold upon their affections.
His triumphs and his downfall are a
part OF such recent history that they
need not be spoken of here. He was
victim of that weakness before which
many men as high as he and as hon.
ored have gone down in disgrace and
death.

SOME PRIVATE HISTORY

Mr.. Sam II. Dixon very emphatically
denies the statement that he ever fay
ored the sub-treasury scheme, and
proves the fact. Mr.. Dixon in his card
gives the public the benefit of this
piece OF private Alliance history:
At the time the sub-treasury plan came
up before the state Alliance for its consid-
Grafton it had been very little discussed in
Texas The first time l ever gave it any
serious thought was just after the ST. Louis
convention in 1890. when Evan Jones called
at the Mercury Office and detailed to Mr. E.
Newton and myself and others present the
plan put forth. Mr.. Jones was fresh from
the convention and sore from defeat and in
u humor to talk plainly, which he did. And
he proceeded to dissect the sub-treasury
and Macune. have never heard man
more harShly dealt with. He was almost
ready to lead revolt against Macuneism in
Texas. and had issued 4 bogus charter to
the Wheelers under which l presume he
proposed to fight. But he advised the Mer-
curry management to hold up for "a while
and watch. developments. The manage
ment watched developments, and it was
soon developed that Jones was preparing to
take the field in advocacy of the same Ma
cuneism that he so vigorously de-
nounced few weeks before. This matter
had about escaped my mind and !
had ceased to reflect upon the frailties of
human nature when the Rev. Stump Ashby
was seen. The story of Evan Jones was
repeated. though in less elegant language
He, too, had returned to Texas as mad as
"a wet hem and was ready to aid in de-
feating the ''rascals," Us he styled A1acune
and his ieutenants at ST. Louis. "AlI l
want" said he. lis to go to the Ocala con-
vention as delegate and will expose the
whole gang" But change came over his
dreams, for at the state Alliance the fol-
lowing August he was found doing the
bidding of the same men he had denounced.
