eminent, each weighing fourteen ton, were
drawn on an eight horse dray from the
builders iron foundry to the river front
for shipment to the proving ground at
Sandy Hook. Monday night they are rest

err Archer of Fall River, was to transport
the big guns, and two had been safely
landed Monday afternoon and lay athwart-
ship upon the deck. The third gun was
in the air, carried by tackle rugged with
one and one-half inch Russian hemp rope

height had been gained when the guy rope
which was to swing the ponderous burden
on board broke and the lighter began to
careen as the heavy burden SWING off.
The big gun fell into the river with
mighty splash. The vessels deck lay at
an angle and the other two guns slid down

Senator Plumb of Kansas, died OF
apoplexy Sunday night. He was one OF
the leaders of the United States senate.
At once the thought turned to ex-Sena-

Justice Horton says that under no cir

Ohio in 1887. Before he became a law
yer and banker he worked at the case
as practical printer. He moved to
Kansas in 1866 and took part in much of
the early exciting history of that State.
Unlike most senators of long service, he
did not undergo previous apprentice

came straight to the Senate in 1877. He
had previously served in many import

THE GOLD CURE.

DR.. Kelley lectured in Chicago, the
other night, and among other things told
the reason why he keeps the formula OF
his ''gold cure" secret According to
the Chicago TiibnS the reasons are
these:
''To give to the general public the
formula from which my remedy is COM
pounded would be to simply destroy its
efficacy as cure. The remedy is not a
proprietary one, similar to the many
others known as patent remedies upon
the market in drug stores. 1t is a COM
plete system which must be closely
watched from beginning to finish, and
from which no detail can be omitted
without endangering it's success.
"Physiciansinc charge of institutes in
the various States of the Union have
come to Dwight before taking their
places as surgeons in charge of other in
stitutes. This education cannot be i'm
parted by letter. 1t must be taught and
learned at the tables of the home office.
where the treatment is administered by
physicians familiar with its every phase.
Now let me ask if there is a wife, mother
or daughter in this house tonight who
would desire to see this blessing jeopar-
died by placing it indiscriminately in
the hands of prejudiced, ignorant, or un-
principled menp think not. 1t is the
one CLEAN of light which alone has il
Illuminated world of misery since the
time of Noah. Would you have it
quenched forever? y
If you could listen to the appeals from
the poor tottering victims who come to
me for cure, lost to themselves and the
world, and then read the expressions of
gratitude when the once poor wreck of
manhood returns to his home, strong in
mind and body at the end of three
weeks, fully able to take up the burden
of life where he had laid it down SO long
ago, and carry it to the end in sobriety
am satisfied you would consider it the
greatest misfortune that could befall the
people of America should the remedy
known as the gold cure for drunkenness
be lost to them by placing tin the hands
of unprincipled men, who would soon
drive it from the market by spurious
limitations"
This leads the Hartford CourGnt to saw
that this apology for his conduct in keep
ing the formdla a secret will be entirely
satisfactory to DR.. Keeley's ex-patients
and other disciples who were satisfied
already, but it doubts whether it will be
accepted as sufficient by his professional
brethren or by the general public.

rBE CHRIsrMAs TREE.

From an account of the origin, etc., o.
the christmas Tree" in the Sundal
Budget, we take the following as a mat
ter of interest at this season:
How many Christmas trees do yor
think are used annually in the United
StatesP You can form some idea of the
number from the fact that New York
alone used more than 100000 last year.
And where do the Christmas trees come
from? +? Wei, those that are used in New
York are obtained principally from
Maine, that grand and quaint old pine
tree State where the thrifty inhabitants
have so many clever ways of making an
honest dollar.
But Maine does not supply New York
with all her Christmas trees by any
means. New York State furnishes many
Christmas trees to her own great me-
tropohs. Away up in the CatsSill noun
tains there are annually cut thousands
of these trees, among which old Hen
drick Hudson and his demon crew have
been playing skittle and drinking
schnapps nightly for centuries, and un-
der whose outrageous shadows dear old
Rip Van Winkle took his long nap of
twenty years duration. The Adirondack
mountains also furnish many Of these
trees, and from the shores of 0tsego
lake come many others. The Green
Mountains of Vermont also send Christ

A London dispatch of the 22d announc-
es the arrival at Southampton of the
North German Lloyd steamship Spree
having on board passengers and crew to
the number of 140 rescued in midocean
from the burning steamship Abyssinia of
the Guion line. In the list of cabin as
sengers is Mrs. j. Pilleys and two child
rem from Troy, N. Y. The fire is said
to have originated by spontaneous com
bustion in the cargo of cotton. The query
arises as to what the conditions were
that caused the combustion. 1t is a
of the gravest interest to the travelling
public, as well as to shipowners, to mer-
chants and underwriters, and it is to be
hoped that thorough investigation will
cast additional light upon the subject.
Fortunately in this case no lives were
lost, Captain WILLIGERoD of the Spree
deserves great praise for his promptitude
in the rescue of the endangered passen-
gers, but one cannot help asking what
might have happened if the Spree had
not passed that way.

Senator Plumb has served fourteen
years in the Senate, and two years ago
was reelected for term which would
have expired in 1896. He was one of the
best known men in Congress. His tall,
athletic form, his swinging western gait,
his breezy method of speaking and his
rugged independence and originality of
thought and action made him notable
man, and he was a power on all ques-
tions to which he gave his mind. He
was an omniverous reader and an untir-
ing worker. In the few days that the
present Congress has been in session he
had submitted more than thirty bills of
more or less public character.
