THERE is no truth in the rumor that President Harrison proposed discarding l grand fathers hat" this spring for one of more modern style. A newer hat would doubtless be more becoming and fit better, but the gentleman isn't dis posed to let go his only stock in trade for the sake of improving his personal appearance. "Grandfather's hat" will continue on duty until the nominating convention next year, if no longer. REPUBLICANS wink knowingly when anybody says anything about Secretary Tracy's declared intention of conducting the working forces at the various navy yards without regard to partisan poll tics. MT Tracy may be perfectly honest in his intentions, but either the republi- cans do not believe it or they thInk they can outwit him. They certainly do not anticipate giving up the navy yard patronage.
 THE strike season will be open this year in Pennsylvania on May 1, by a movement of the miners for an eight hour day, in which It is expected that | fully 150. .000 men will be involved. As both the miners and the mine owners are particularly obstinate in their re- | spcctive views, there seems to be clear outlook for considerable suffering in the best protected state in the union before the summer is over.
 IT will hardly have escaped attention l that, while the Mckinley tariff has now been in operation six months, the point to which its supporters now chiefly point as recommendation of it to public favor is its single free trade feature. It strikes us that the most eX- acting free trader could hardly ask for a more emphatic tribute. But the fatuity of those who expect to gain popularity
 for high duties by constantly pointing out the blessings of no duties at all is simply amazing.

NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Chicago's Great Road, the Famous Maple
Leaf Line.
The Chicago. st. Paul & Kansas City was
| the first railroad in the country to issue
special transportation advertising for the
Worlds fair at Chicago. That is enterprise
and an illustration Of the sort of manage
ment that within a few years has trans
formed the Chicago, st. Paul g. Kansas
| City from a short and unimportant line,
with little to encourage it's continuance, TO
one of the most prominent and most popu-
lar lines in the northwest. With its termi-
nails in Chicago, Kansas City and st. Paul,
it unites tho east, the northwest and the
southwest. The territory it embraces is
3,O0o,00O people whom thisg great road ac-
commodities. The great states of Illinois,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas ara
tapped by its lines.
The general headquarters of the road il
at st. Paul. willis the freight and pas
senger departments direct their business
from Chicago. In the latter city the com-
pany's trains arrive at and depart from the
Grand Central passenger station, COM
pleted at the beginning of the present year,
and acknowledged to be without n peer in
this country. The three main lines of the
road unite at Oalwein, in Northeastern
Iowa. Aside from these are several short
branches, all of Importance, the longest
being from Sumner to Hampton. Iowa.
The latter state la divided nearly in halves
by the road. which CROSSES its verv finest
portion. This mileage in Missouri, Kansas
and Minnesota is comparatively small. but
in I~llionols again increases, the northern
and most %populous part of the Prairie
state reverberating to the thunder Of its
trains. g-
Much of the success of the road is due to
the ability and energy Of a railway man
we'll known to many in Rochester, w. r.
Busenbark, the traffic manager of the road.
In his intercourse with the patrons of the
road he has won thousands of friends for
himself and his company.

GUTHRIE 70. T.), Sept 20.-The Santa
Fe's four regular passenger trains. two
from the north and two from the south, all
came in to-day in four or five sections of ten
and twelve cars each, each section carrying
hundreds of home seekers. The settlers
were hustling around buying outfits and
bargaining for conveyance TO the border OF
the new lands. Others were preparing to
start, and still others were just going away.
There was bedlam in the streets and con-
fusion everywhere. Those who waite1
until to-day before taking their provisions
for Tuesdays race, have decided advantage
over those who rushed pell-mell for the bor-
der. The list OF those sections reserved for
school purposes. and those allotted to lndi-
ans. all of which are exempt from pre-emp-
ton, was published to-day.
Land Commissioner Carter telegraphS
that the settlers can enter the lands from
Kckapoo. The reservation is not included
in the lands to be opened to settlement, and
ii lies in the very heart of those that are to
be opened. The permission gives the home
seekers many more miles of available border,
where they may mass for the race. When
the contents Of the telegram became known
hundreds of boomers hurried into the
KickapOo reservation and have taken up
positions. Much satisfaction is expressed
over Secretary Mobiles order to the Regis
ters and Receivers Of the Land Office to
prevent fraud in connection with the filing
of the declaratOry statements of old SOL
diers. The traffic in declaratory staten ents
has been suspended, the home-seekers re-
garding them as extra hazardous invest
ments.

BERLIN, Sept 20.-As the fears OF war
and famine increase and troubles thicken
around the Emperor rumors of reconciliation
with Prince Bismarck are revived. 1t is
said the Emperor, finding the situation more
difficult than at any time since he ascended
his old counselor, and oyertures have been
made to him through other eminent person.
ages. 1t is certain that last week Prince
Luitpold, Regent of Bavaria. who, during
the recent visit OF the Emperor to Munich,
was placed in harmonious and confidential
relations with his Majesty, had a secret
eeting with Prince Bismarck.
In the meantime the fears of famine are
becoming facts which press closer upon and
come nearer to the Government. The dis
lin, right under their eyes, is fearful. Num-
berless heads Of families have been unable
TO obtain work for months. and, with those
dependent upon them, live on a diet of
potatoes only. Voluntary charity is invoked
and committees are being formed
for the systematic administration of
relief. There were bread riots yesterday
in NacZenik, in the Polish provinces. A
mob Of famished people carried by storm
the lOur-mills OF HinStberg Bros. and
plundered its contents. The military were
ordered out and wers compelled to
charge bayOnets on the ri0tOus mob before
they could be suppressed. Many rioters
were wounded and large number we're

OLYMPIA (Wash.), Sept. 2O.-The feeling
of bitterness existing in the State militia
was intensified by personal encounter be-
tween Adjutant-G General O'Brien and Colo
mel Haines last night in the corridor of the
Olympia Hotel. Colonel Haines and Cap
tain Ashton were sitting at table when
General O'Brien entered and engaged in
conversation with Captain Ashton. The
matter of tie pay of the militia came up in
cdentally, and Colonel Haines accused
General O'Brien of being the cause Of
the trouble. General O'Brien reminded
him that he was only one membe of the
Military Board, and could do nothing with
out the cooperation of other members of
the board. Colonel Haines then said that
General O'Brien had made written state
ments concerning him which he dare not re-
peat to his face. General OBrien replied
that he did dare make them to his face, but
had hardly finished the sentence when
Colonel Haines turned and struck him in
the face with his fist. General O'Brien had
a roll of music in his hand and raised IL in
self-defense, when Captain Ashton inter-
fered and took Haines away. Colonel
Hanes will probably be court-martaled for
attacking the Adjutant- General. The lat
ter regrets tile occurrence, but states that 1t
was unavoidable on his part.

HE WAS MUCH INSURED.
The Graveyard Business Not Unknown In

England.
The late James Singleton, occasional as
sistaut hOster and general hanger-on in the
yard of the Wheatsheaf Hotel In Blackburn,
must, one would think, have long grown
weary OF being asked to insure his life, says
the London News. Mr.. Singleton was q
poor man and an illiterate; be had no par
ticular desire to insure his life; he had no
money to pay premiums, and as to filling up
proposal" with its customary schedules
he had not glimmering of an idea Of how
to do it. But all this was of no consequence
In the eyes of his friends and acquaintance.
They were wont apparently to accost him in
some such way as this: "GOod- d-morning,
Jenny. Any objection to my insur Ing your
life?" Jenny. who probably saw in the
suggestion pleasing visions of refreshments
at the bar, doubtless answered, like Mr.
Barkis, that he was willing" and forth
with the friend proceeded TO fill up the form.
So the thing went on until no fewer than
twenty distinct policies. representing total
OF el700, had been effected on the life OF
this little old hostler who knocked about in
the yard of this public-house." Did James
Singleton sleep at ease with these twenty
persons all around him listening to his
coughs and watching day by day to see if
his gait grew feebler and his hands mora
tremulous than they were? Apparently he
concerned himself little about such matters
But now he is dead and buried, and one of
the nOlicy-holders has been prosecuting his
claim at the Manchester AssiZes. Need we
say that Mr.. Justice Smith has read him a

HICCOUGHING TO DEATH.
The Strange Fate of Cornelius Reagan o
RefhI nj

The Strange Fate of Cornelius Reagan OF
Bethlehem.
In rear secOnd-fiOor room OF modest
two-story frame cottage at 312 Mechanic
street, Bethlehem. lies Cornelius Reagan
slowly but surely hiccoughing his life away.
The case Is a remarkable one, and accord
ing to his attending physician. DR.. d. G.
Maglone, is only the fourth case of the kind
that has come under his notice in profess
sional career covering a quarter Of a GEN.
tury.
Reagan, who is about 60 years of age, was.
up to few days ago, a magnificent speci-
men of the fine healthy, brawny Irishman.
who scarcely knew what it was to be sick.
AS he Law on his bed struggling with death,
the once fine form presented an emaclated
and haggard appearance, and the flowing
irou-gray beard of a week ago has turned
white as snow.
Reagan was employed as laborer at the
extensive works of the Bethlehem Iron
Company, aud all his life had been remark
ably free from any of the ills that flesh is
heir to. Even when he left his home for
his work he did not have any premonition
of what was in store for him. About noon
he was attacked with hicc0ughing, which,
though at intervals was quite severe, finally
compelled him tn quit work.
All day at regular intervals the hiccough-
ing came on, until he had became so pros
trated as to be compelled to take to his bed.
From that time on, instead OF coming on at
intervals. the hiccoughing set in and con-
tinued constantly every since. Even in his
sleep, which was produced by administering
the most powerful opiates, there was no
cessation.
This constant and powerful strain has
produced state of prostration bordering on
collapse, and it is matter of very great sur
prise to his physician and others that he has
been able to withstand the attack as long as
he has. 1t is only another evidence of the
almost cast-iron constitution which was his
week ago. All that medical science and
skill can suggest has been done to relieve
him of his horrible suffering, but without
avail, and it now only remains for death,
which is RAPIDLY approaching, to end his
misery-Philadelph Record.

With Fatal Wounds He Escapes by Steal
ing Ride Under a Coach.
An unknown desperate and wounded rob-
Der is giving q remarkable exhibition Of
nerve at Worcester. Mass Before day
light the police found lying In doorway
on Main street a man seriously injured by
two pistol-shot wounds in the side. He was
removed to the hospital, and when exam-
incd there was found on his person consid-
cradle money and jewels. which, when
shown, were identified as part of the plum
der obtained in Providence from numerous
robberies of private houses. The robeer
fatty refused to give his name or any par
ticulars about himself.
Investigation showed that the house of
Mr.. Frisbie at Hartford, Conn.,. had been
entered by a burglar. and that the latter
had fled, wounded by shot from Frisbie's
pistol. He dragged himself to the depot,
wounded as he was. aud stealing under a
passenger coach rode on the trucks as far as
Springfield. where faintness compelled him
to let go. He entered the car and got as far
as Worcester, and was unable to 60 any
farther. The doctor says that with his two
fatal wounds he showed the greatest nerve
he ever heard of.-St Louis Star Sayings.
