Keep the Good Sow.

The Germantown Telegraph says:
While ''you can't make a silk purse out
Of q sow's ear" still if you use the whole
sow in a sensible manner she will fill a
silk purse annually.
Nine little pigs in March grown to $50
pounds each In December, at five cents
per pound, equals $112. SO cash
A SOW that will do that should have
her life insured for ten years.
Never kill good motherly SOW as long
as she will bear.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Taking Care of the stoves.

AS soon as the season for fires has
passed, If stoves are removed they should
be stored in a dry place, the pipes and
elbows should be we'll cleaned out and
cared for, otherwise holes may be rusted
through them in a single season. All
the sheet iron work about the stoves Of
any and every description should be
cleaned up, and either be kept black
ened and polished. or be oiled to prevent
rust.
For the cheap circular heating stoves
one rubbing with kerosene oil will be
sufficient II stored in dry place, but II
put in cellar, as they sometimes are,
several oilings may be necessary through
this season. The brick Innings that have
become cracked or broken can often be
repaired with fire clay cement with but
q little trouble, and SO as to make them
seryiceable for very considerable time
Much subsequent annoyance may be
saved by keeping all the separative parts
together when storing them away, so
that none shall be mislaid or lost at the
time they are wanted.

A Boy Driven to Suicide,

MILIvILLE, N. Y, Sept. 27.-This morn
ing Ambrose Parr went up into the garret
at his home, No. 40 Garfield street, tied a
rope to the railing over the stairs, stuck
his head through a slip knot and then
swung loose. He was found dead by q
younger brother two hours later. The bows
mother said that Ambrose was employed at
Whitall & Tatums South Millvifle Glass
Works, and during the recent strike of the
tending boys at the works against the en-
ployment of Hebrews, he refused to go on
strike with them, but remained at work.
Since then the strikers several times called
him o scab, and this, it is thought, unsettled
his mind and drove him to suicide.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIspATr8.,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspkTrH.1
YOUNGSTOWN, O., Sept. 27. - James
Kane, puddler, aged. SO, employed mt the
Girard rolling mill, was found dead to-day,
with several CHASTITY wounds in his head,
kin's saloon. Kane received his pay yes
terday, and after paying a small bill called
at Durkin's saloon to settle an account.
Two German laborers left him in the place
with Durkin, and that was the last seen of
him alive.
Suspicion points to Durkin and wife and
a boarder named Frank Nary, who have
been placed under surveillance pending the
Coroner's inquest now in progress. The
trio tell contradictory stories, and the feel
ing is that after Kane was filled with
liquor he was beaten to death, and, after
rifing his pockets, the body was carried to
an alley, where it was found by an italian
woman. Only nickel was found on bin.
. Name was II Hercules in build, but of a
quiet disposition, and the wounds on the
scalp and fractured skull show clearly that
considerable force was used to kill him.
Mrs. Kane, the widow, came here from
Newport, Ky, where she has several child
rem, to visit her husband. She has had
II childreny six now living. Kane formerly
lived at Woods Run, Allegheny, and has
only been working few weeks at the Gfrard
mill. Though he drank occasionally, his
fellow employees assert he was always good
natured.
The feeling against the Durkins and Nary
is very bitter Durkin was formerly pud-
der, but has been in the saloon business two
years. Athorough search was made of the
Durkin place, but no blood found. 1t is said
thatthc saloon floor was covered with saw
dust last night, but to-day it had been
scrubbed clean.
Kane was member of the Amalgamated
Association, which will take charge of his
remains, when the Coroner's inquest is
finished,

NOT ANXIOUS TO CONSOLIDATE.
Locomotive Engineers Don't Seem TO Want
a Great Railroad brotherhood.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Sept. 27.-The Jersey
City Opera House was crowded from floor to
roof this afternoon by the members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, their
wives and friends. At the convention in
the morning Mr.. Arthur spoke discourag-
ingly Of the proposition to consolidate the
order with other organizations of railroad
men, so as to make one grand brotherhood
of railroad employees. The matter was gen.
orally discussed, but nobody spoke in favor
OF it. Acting Superintendent Brooks and
Trainmaster Mander, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, sat on the platform, as did Ben
jamin Hafner, of Port Jervis the Oldest To-
comotive engineer in this country, if not
in the world. He is y years old, and has
been driving locomotive for so years.

Depew read: 81 was taken sick yesterday,
and, while not serious, it prevents

gret missing the pleasure of meeting you.

New Jersey and Pennsylvania what L have
said elsewhere, that the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers has demonstrated by
its unequaled prosperity and strength tn,
wisdom of its action, that it's organization
is model for trades unions. You are not
only the most successful of labor organiza-
tions, but you have the respect and conf
dence of those whom you so admirably
serve-the people and the corporations.

work even in Thursdays game:
MIR. McQUaid is one of the best umpires in
the country, but he occasionally has his
"ou' dnys-and yesterday was his occa-
slonal He was not any too accurate on balls
and strikes and two or three of his other de-
c'si"ns were positively cgregious. He gave

on hit that was two feet foul: he called

Baldwin beat the ball 1nr enough to turn

THE FRENCH WILL EAT PORK.
The Hog Prohibition Is Sure to Be With
drawn Next Month.


PARIS, Sept. 27.-When the Chambers
resume legislative work next month the
efforts of Mr.. Reid, the American Minister,
to secure the withdrawal of the pork prohi.
bition are certain to be crowned with sue
cess The Committee of the Senate Will
give immediate attention to the bill passed
by the Chamber of Deputies In official
circles the opinion prevails that the rescind-
ing of German pork prohibition was accel-
Grated by the vote of the French Chamber
of Deputies; that Germany, seeing that the
French Government had resolved to with
draw the French prohibition. seized the
chance afforded by the postponement of the
French bill to get ahead in complying to the
American demands
The Brazilian Government has approached
NJ. Ribot in regard to the projected pro-
hibitive tariff on coffee fixed under Meline's
report and approved by the Chamber of
Deputies at 156 francs per hundred kilo-
grams. Brazil takes annually 10000, 900
francs worth of French products, and among
the leading arguments that will be used to
induce the Senate to modify the proposed
tariff is the danger of Brazil retaliating-a
result which would aid the American
scheme to capture the Brazilian markets.

SOME HISTORICAL BETS.

PIunSers of the Turf

Interesting Reminders of the Old-Time
PIunSers of the Turf.
II is quite probable that there are just
now no men who gamble quite so heavily
except in stocks, as did the "plungers'' in
the early part OF the century. There were
IN England a dozen men who made $3.50 900
"books" on the Derby alone, and as late as
1S56a "hookmaler'' bet $3.50 600 to 5000
against each of three horses in one race In
lc43 the owner of the Derby favorite
hacked" him publicly to win s7JOOOO, be-
sides the amount OF his private bets. The
ring Of bookma kers' paid to one circle of
berrors $1,000 600 when "Lectursr" won the
Cspsarwitch The owner of more than one
Derby winner collected 500, 900 on the next
settling day. and in several other years
would have pocketed 81 O0O, 600 If their colts
had been first past the post
Most men who now have the money and
the nerve" to make such enormous bets
have given up horse racing in favor of a
game which has still higher possibilities
and instead of wagering $4,000 on horse
and calling il gambling they deposit the
same amount as margin" in a stock specula-
Jion and call it business Although indi-
viduals do not lay such heavy wagers as were
sometimes made by the ''plungers'' of old,
much more money is wagerCd now than was
Tiekcd % years ago. The difference is that
while then one man bet 500 OOO now ten men
each bet $4,000, and the total amount
Wagered Is doubled. of single bets made on
American horse races the following in
stances are taken from the records: Haughton
bet Walton Sl4o 600 TO $1,000 against "Girofle;"
liau@htOn bet Kelly S2OnO0 to IS 0c0 again
"Henlopen:" Appleby and johnson bet p
Lorilard to $1,000 against "Pizarro,"
ana So 900 to - 0a0 against Leo" in the same
race. In each of these cases it is PROBABLE
that the owners risked ten times these
amounts on each of the races, as the bets
above stated were only made with one
