PsoulIarItIss Of Llshsns.

The ichen Is remarkable for the
great age to which it lives. there being
good grounds for believing that they
endure as long as a hundred years
Their growth Is exceedingly slow, al
most beyond belief, indicating that
only a little nourishment Is necessary
to keep them alive. In adry time they
have the power to suspend growth alto
gether, renewing It again at the fan of
rain This peculiarly alone Is enough
10 make the hchen vegetable wonder,
as it is a property possessed by no other
species Of plant.
Another interesting fact about hchens
Is that they grow only where the air b
free from dust and smoke They may
be said to be a sure Indication Of the
purity Of the air, as they are never
found growing In cities and towns
where the atmosphere Is mpregnated

TWO GRACIOUS HORSES.


Narrow Escape OF Rev. George M Hick-
man, Wife and Chnd-Dr. Parm's Leg
Broken
At. 30 o'clock Yesterday afternoon
DR.. John A. Parm of No. GIG West
Seventh street, was kicked by his horse
and his leg was broken by the blow
He stables his horse on Windsor street
At the time the accident occurred he was
walking back Of the horse upon which he
had just thrown the harness The kick
was a powerful one It knocked him
down and he could not get up until his
cries brought assistance.
DR. Howard 0gle was called he ex-
amined the injured man and ordered that
be be sent to Delaware Hospital. This
was done and the bone was set last even

Narrow Escape of a Preacher.
At o'closk last night horse attached

tons China Bazaar, driven by Alexander
Smith. ran away on the western side Of
the city. 1t dashed down Delaware
avenue at frightful speed, going from
one side of the avenue to the other. At
Washington street the wagon struck an
electric light pole with crash. 1t re-
bounded and the animal more frightened
than ever, continued its wild career
At Tenth and Tatnall streets there
came very near being distressing
casualty, Rev George NJ Hickman,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian Church,
was out walking with his wife and child.
/ The child was IN a pera mbulator which
was pushed by Mr. Hickman AS they
were crossing Tenth street the runaway
dashed down upon them They did not
see it coming Several persons shouted
notes OF warning When Mr. Hickman
understood matters the runaway was
upon them. he just had time to pull
the baby coach back about half the
length Of his arm, when the
horse and wagon dashed by.
Everybody ia the neighborhood
expected to see the child crushed tc
death, as it undoub' eddy would have beer
had not its father pulled the coach bach
the distance he did The wagon struck
the front wheels of the baby carriage and
badly damaged one of them, but did not
hurt the child, 1t will probably never
have a closer call for life than II did last
night
The runaway was finally stopped al

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL opened his
campaign at Sidney, Ohio, with a speech
devoted chiefly to the tariff and the free

ton Campbell has great advantage over
Mckinley because Of the local situations

taken both sides, one at Toledo In April,
the other at Niles In August, will

advocate urge that pocket knives incur a
labor cost Of even "a or So per cent or
that the material and other

Of everything in any grade Of pocket
knives, is too absurd to mention. But
there is at least one prOtectiOnism writer
and many protectionism cranks in VIII

that the duty was increased specifically
and by valuation on pocket cutlery to pro.
tect labor, even to the rate Of 1l6 per cent
or 10 per cent. above the value Of the
article. Those protectionists who sdvo-
cate absurdities like that do it blindly.

the standpoint Of the interested beggars

defend a measure obnoxious to his

HARPER's WEEKLY used to be
staunch Republican organ and It's accom-
plished, able and honorable editor,
George William Curtis, was an equally
staunch supporter Of Republican princi
pies when the party acknowledged other
and more worthy principles than that OF
greed. Both are advocating better princ
pies now. The last issue says:
In the Republican convention which
met at Roches or fourteen years ago, Mr.
Platt was MIR. Conkling's lieutenant. In
the Rochester Convention Of this year
Mr.. Plstt has taken Mr. Conklng's
place, ana is as absolutely the party
leader Mr.. Conklines domination was
imperious and irtoleraut, but he had
qualities which made many men proud
OF his leadership. Is any Republican
proud OF Mr. Platts leadership2 Can
any man be proud Of the party which ac-
cepts his leadership2
Have Harper's Weekly and Mr. Curtis
changed, or has the Republican party

ten years ago when Harper's Weekly

North were advocating Republican
principles2 Where are those periodicals
and papers now2 Have they been cor
rupted with British gold2 Or, have the
leaders OF the Republican party been
bought by home market campaign funds
Of the tariff robbers?' Mr.. Curtis him
self compares the situation to-day with

EAsrERN ASSOCIATION.


New YORK, Sept. l9--The National
league meeting adjourned after resolving
that the league would be glad to welcome
the return Of the American association as
party to the national agreement in the
same manner as they wandered therefrom,
namely, BY notice to the national board. .
This leaves matters in pretty much the
same condition as before. The American
association is not likely TO enter the ma.
tional agreement again unless King, Bald
win, Reilly, Kelly, Stovey, Bierbauer and
other contract jumping players are re-
turned to it,
