1t was rumored last week that Mrs

1t was rumored last week that Mrs
DR.. Nettie G. Hall had been elected to
membership in the washington Springs
Farmers Alliance, just after the HER
AIDS recently printed article calling
attention to the fact that while she had
been hlackballed by the Alliance as
though not fit to belong to it, she was
considered good enough to send out on
a begging expedition where elouuence
and ability We're needed. 1t looks, to
one on the outside asthough the Ali
ance was afraid that. should that arti-
Gle come to the Doctors notice she
would see the situation as others see it
and might refuse to make such trips
in the future They may have intend-
ed it as Il compliment. 1t certainly is
II doubtful compliment under the cir
culnstances. Or perchance it dawned
upon them that it was rather cheeky
to send out one whom they had black
balled, to beg for their exclusive bene-
lit. Her inluence might be crippled
among those expected to contribute
should the facts be known. BE that rs
1t may we understand that Mrs. Dr
Nettie G Hall is now y member elect OF
the Washington Springs Alliance and
that certificate Of election has been
forwarded to her.

HUSBANDRY HINTS.

NEVER keep honey in cellar. dry
room is the place for it.
A DAY gained in the spring will be of
more value than the ideas caught floating
around the stove in the village store.
PEACH trees should be pruned as early as
possible, care being taken to cut off shoots
close above wood bud and not blossom
bud.
PURE water and a variety OF wholesome
food regularly given, with comfortable
shelter and kind treatment, are the best
preventives Of disease.
THE man with clean stables and fields,
well-housed cattle and implements, and who
has dollars for books but not accent for rum,
is desirable debtor But he does not bor-
row often.
CALLS are rarely seen on the horses
shoulders bathed night and morning with
strong salt water beginning month before
the spring plowing. In warm weather use
swear-pads under the collars.
WHEN {. tree is to be transplantcd never
leave more branches than are wanted for
mains, four or five at most; never grow 4
mass Of unnecessary limbs to be croWding,
which must be cut out afterward, much to
the injury of the tree; remove them from
the head at first.
PREPARATION Of the food is saving OF
labor for the cow, and a saving CT food tor
the owner. Thus, the grain food should De
| ground as finely as possible, and being
mixed with the cut and nloistcned fodder,
is eaten with less eXertion, and is dlgesteo
with the greatest case.

All That 10 Needed Now for That Infant In
dustry, the Worid's Fair.
Ex-senator Palmer and Maj. Handy, with the
weight Of the worlds fair on their shoulders,
called Oh the President this morning for the
purpose of getting some papers which they left
with the President during their interview of
yesterday and which they did not intend for him
to keep. Their chat was a short one and had
no special reference to the exposition. Gen.
Davis, the director general, would have gone
with the other gentlemen had he been at all
presentable, but he is now rather unsightly
owing to an enlarged countenance caused by a
bad tooth that began to ache last night. hence
he kept his room at the Riggs House.
YOUNG LADY TAKES SENATOR PALMER AND
MAJOR HANDY.
This fact was regretted by Senator Palmer, as
he and the major descended the stairway and
ran almost into the arms of a very pretty young
lady who is taking photographs of the Exc
cutive Mansion for one of the magazines. She
showed her enterprise by inducing the two
gentlemen to stand still moment while she
exposed them before plate no, exposed

that Davis exaggerated physiognomy would

Willis told the court of Brooks drunken

Reading the Notices Of His Death.

The clerks of the sixth auditors Office ex-
perienced genuine sensation today. Many of
them had read in the morning papers an ac-
count Of the sudden death yesterday while at
his desk Of Capt Edward Winnie, fellow clerk
Capt. Winnie was known to the great majority,
and his popularity, well as the alleged cir
cumstances surrounding his death, gave rise to
a general feeling of sadness. They had seen
him in apparently good health yesterday and
now to learn that he was dead was a shock that
was extremely painful. Their surprise was
only equaled by their joy when upon arrival
at the Office this morning they found Capt.
Winnie at his desk as much alive as ever. There
was a scene Of great rejoicing. Capt. Winnie
had no explanation to make. except TO say that
he was not dead. Capt. Winnie read with a
good deal Of interest the biographical sketch
which followed the announcement of his death
in the published statement. He said that every
word Of the publication was true except the
trifing fact that he had not died. Capt Winnie
is well known in this city, having been in the
employ Of W. H. HOughton l. Co. and Julius
Lansburgh.

Sullivan Knocks Newspaper Man Uncon.
scious for Trying to Interview Him.
John L. Sullivan arrived at Milwaukee yes
terday from Chicago with his company. He
was in u very bad humor, and shortly after he
reached the Plankington House u reporter APP
preached him for an interview. The pueilist
was in the company Of q lady At the time, and,
declaring himself insulted ut what he called
the presumption Of the newspaper man in
seeking an interview at such a time, he reached
forth and smote the reporter violently on the
nose. The reporter fell all in a heap and it was
some time before he became conscious.
Sullivan came before the curtain last night and
explained his side Of the affair. He said that a
local paper had given him a ''roast'' because
reporter had come up to see him and he had
refused to be interviewed. He said he had
pushed the reporter out and shut the door
Continuing, he said:
Il don't care il the newspapers attack Es5 -
it does them good and me no harm. Peopls
will come to see il my picture is as bad as It's
painted, and that helps me-" lApplause.l
