a RURAL SENATOR HERE.

E. f. Robbins Talks About the Extra Ses-
sion of the Senate.
Senator f. E. Robbins, of Westmoreland
county, was in Pittsburg yesterday. Mr..
Robbins is Il Republican, and he cannot,
he says, clearly understand the pur-
pose OF the Governor in calling
the senate together in extraordinary ses-
sion when the hody has no power i'll i'm

suspicion that both branches of the Legisla-
ture are necessary to impeach State off

ject," the Senator said.
''However. L will look up the law on such
cases, and will so to Harrisburg next week

BUYING MACHINERY HERE.
Two Cubans in Town to Look After Sugar
Making Machinery.

V. de Ia Calle and Juan Estang, of Havana,
Cuba, are guests at the Duquesne. Senior
de Ia Gale said last night that he and his
friend were here to buy machinery and
equipment for making sugar. He said that
he had already spent some $4,000 in New
York in goods, but regretted having done
SO because he found since his arrival he
could have done better here. He said he
buys his usual supplies at this time, trading
principally in New York.
Senor de la Gale says he will be obliged to
any Pittsburger who can furnish him with
coal at lower cost than IS per ton i'll Cuba.
He thinks that this city ought to be getting
its share of the 500, ,OOO, COO of business which
Cuba does with this country. The value of
the exports from Cuba are about 5OOOO,OOO.
Reciprocity was a good thing for Cuba and
would extend her commercial relations with
the United States very considerably.

A REMARKABLE CHANGE.
The Weather Drops Thirty-one Degrees in
One Day.

Last evenings cool atmosphere brought
out overcoats and heavy wraps everywhere.
The sudden change from excessive heat to
uncomfortable GOODNESS caused considerable
comment. The thermometer dropped to
so yesterday, and its highest point
was 64o. On sunday the mark was $50. The
fall from one day to the other was $40, which
is considered very remarlla BILE.
Indications for to-day are for fair weather
with the temperature about the same 3
yesterday. Though the skies are clear there
is not much fear of frost, and if it does come
it will be very light.

The Solemn Oath He Took.

Washington Post: Judge Corwin's s
famous temperance address, which was
printed in postscripts few weeks ago,
recalls an incident which occurred dur
ing one OF Francis Murphy's blue-rib-
bon addresses. A drunken man sat in
the audience and listened with owlish
gravity to the remarks. Murphy was
telling of fearful occurrence alleged
to have happened in q distant state
where such things always happen.
"And, my friends" said he, "this
poor wretch was SO filed and saturat-
ed with alcohol that hefairly breathed
alcohol, and one night when he tried
to blow out a candle the flame set the
alcohol fumes afire and the miserable
sot was burned alive"
The drunken man arose to his feet
and huskily demanded;
"Ish thassho?"
ait is most assuredly so, SIR"
"Got er-hic-got er book?"
"Yes, right down here in 'front.'"
The horrible example walked uncer
tainly down in front. The audienct
| was on the toes of expectancy. Here
was another brand plucked from the
| burning.
81 solemnly shwear," said the inebri
ate, "that never, sho longs / live, will
I-hic-will / ever blow out another
candle"

Was Columbus a Jew!

Jews figure prominently in the his
tory of the discovery OF America.
The plans and calculations for Colum-
bus expedition were largely the work
OF two Hebrew astronomers and
mathematicians. Two Jews, also
were employed as interpreters by Col
umbus, and one of them, Luis dc
Torres, was the first European to set
foot in the new world. When Column
bus sighted the island OF San Salvador
he imagined he was approaching a por
ton of the east Asiatic coast and h'
sent Torres-who was engaged for his
knowledge of Arabic-ashore to MAKE
inquiries OF the natives.
1t was. probably, this Torres who
was the Madrid jew to whom Colum
bus bequeathed half a mark of silver
in his will Another curious fact il
that it has been seriously suggested
by DIR. Delitzsch, we believe, that Co
lumbus himself was a Jew, or of Jew
ish birth. The name Christopher wa
frequently adopted by converts, Will
the surname Colon was borne by I
distinguished fam amily of Jewish scholars
Christopher brother, Diego, bore or
isanally the Jewish name Jacob
which sounds surprisingly like Shen
Kadosh. Perhaps some Jewish schol
ars in Italy will make inquiry into. tn

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Decision Of the Commissioner Of the Gen.
eral Land Office Concerning
School Lands.

Commissioner Croft, OF the general
land office, has recently promulgated
through the Miles City land office a rul-
ing in regard to the school lands of the
state that is OF much Importance.
In 1878 James Sterns OF Junction
City made settlement upon a tract OF
unsurveyed land, and continued to re-
side upon and cultivate the land there
after. 1t was not until $50 that the
tract was surveyed, and it was then
found that Mr.. Sterns' claim was on
section SO, a schSpl section. In June,
1SS9, he made a homestead entry on
the tract in question and in due time
proved up Then came the attorney
general of the State of Montana with
a protest against the issuance OF a
patent to Sterns, on the ground that
the land in question belonged to the
state under the grant contained in the
omnibus bill, approved Feb. %, 1889.
Commissioner Croft, in making the
ruling, refers to the early settlement
and continuous residence of Mr. Sterns
on the tract and the fact that he ell
tered the same as a homestead in June,
1889, "before the admission of Mon
tana into the Union, and of course
prior to the date when the grant of the
school lands to the state took effect"
The commissioner therefore holds that
the claimant is entitled to his patent.
and that the protest OF the state is OF
no avail.

Advice to Bachelors.

Agree with the girls father in poll
tics and the mother in religion, says
the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
If you have a rival, keep an eye on
him. If he is a widower, keep two
eyes on him.
Don't put too much sweet stuff on
paper. II you do you will hearit read
in after years when your wife has some
special purpose in inflicting upon you
the severest punishment known to a
married man.
Go home at a reasonable hour in the
evening.
Don't wait until girl has to throw
her whole soul into yawn that she
can't cover with both hands. A little
thing like that might cause GOODNESS
at the very beginning OF the game.
If, on the occasion OF your first call,
] the girl upon whom you have set your
/ young affections looks like an iceberg
and acts like a cold wave, take your
leave early and stay away. Woman
| in her hour of freeze is uncertain, coy
and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don't stretch II
all the way to the front gate, and thus
lay the foundation for future asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia and chronic ca
tarrh to help you to worry the girl te
death after she has married
Don't lie about your financial con
dition. 1t is very annoying to a bride
who has pictured a life OF ease in hel
ancestral halls to learn, too late, thai
you expect her to ask baldheadet
old parent who has been uniformly
kind to her to take you in out OF tn

THEY WANT ALASKA.
Wealthy Citizens Offer $4,000, 900 for That
Territory.

Captain James Carroll OF Sitka, who
was chosen by the Alaska convention
to be territorial delegate if congress
should give Alaska representation, is
in Washington. Talkingt to reporter
OF the Post, he said if representation
was denied, congress should at least
grant other reasonable requests OF
the people OF Alaska. He also spoke
of a proposition he was willing T. o make
on the part of solid citizens OF the
country. III congress did not think
Alaska OF enough Importance to give
it system OF Jurisprudence and all
the facilities and rights it had granted
every other outlying settlement OF the
government, he was empowered to
offer the sum of 81 4, 900, 900 for the
territory and would pay it over i'll $50
gold pieces on the shortest kind OF no.
tice. This was 81, 500, 900 more than
it cost, not to speak of the big yearly
profits the government has taken for
sealing privileges. The offer, he said,
was bona fide, and he was sure if those
making the offer had complete owner
ship, whatever flag was raised, they
could secure the people the blessings
OF popular government unhampered
by the annoying defects of the present
system, which worked useless hard
ships and clogged developments.

Thoroughbred Horses in Battle.

Globe-Democrat: "When / went to
the war in 1861" said Senator Wade
Hampton, 81 took with me three
thoroughbred stations that were
worth princes ransom. One was as
black as night, one was a dark chest
nut, and the other was a chestnut
sorrel. You are perhaps aware that
my father was not only a noted i'm
porter OF running horses, but famous
breeder of the thoroughbred as well.
81 rode the black stallion at the first
Bull Run battle, where | commanded
the Hampton Legion, comprised OF
infantry, cavalry and artillery. At
the famous cavalry fight at Brandy
Station with Pleasanton in 1868,
rode the chestnut. He was q hard
horse to control in a charge, and he
nearly carried me into the enemy s
lines on that day twice. l rode the
chestnut-sorrel at the great cavalry
fight in the rear of Meade's army on
the third day at Gettysburg, and came
near meeting the same fate as that
| escaped from at Brandy Station a
few weeks previous. My experience
with thoroughbreds is that in time oi
war they are safer horses to get away
from the enemy with than when you
are going toward him, especially when
on a gallop. But when it comes to
endurance one thoroughbred will kill
three cold-blooded horses in a cam
paign. They will go further with less
food, go faster, and show more cour-
age in the tace OF danger. l have rid
den the stations | mention In the face
of batteries. and they never once
fiinched. All of them were wounded
three or four times, but they pulled
through.
al think body of men mounted on
entirc blooded horses would prove
much more formidable in a charge
than the same force mounted on geld
ings OF the same blood. Our ancestors
in ancient times always. went to wal
on entire horses and in order that
their presence might not be betrayed
to the enemy their nostrils were
slitted so that they could not neigh.
The Arabs in their journeys prefer
entire horses, as they seem to have
more courage, sense, strength and en-
durance than mares or geldings. The
late John Morgan owed his success III
the late war to the fact that in his
raids his men were mounted on Ken
tucky theroughbreds.'

Feminine Peculiarities.

If woman can deceive another
woman she can succeed at anything.
If it wasn't for the woman folks in
his family a man would never remem-
ber that he had ancestors.
Whenever a woman asks one favor
she expects to receive two, and is dis
appointed if she doesn't get them.
A mans mother sees his good quail
ties, his sister recognizes his defects,
but it takes his wife to appreciate his
faults.
A man may be engaged to a woman
ten years, but he will never hear that
she has duties she owes her relatives
until after he has married her.
You will very often see a mother liv.
ing on the bounty OF provident son,
who will mention no one in her prayers
but the prodigal son who deserted her
A man never buys a thing that his
wife does not say he was cheated. A
woman will admit that her husband
has selling sense, but she believes that
all the buying sense IN the world be
longs to women.

Seal Of the Confederacy.

The great seal of the confederate
states is now in the office of the South
Carolina secretary of state, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The seal
and it's press are ofsilver. The handle
is ivory and the seal itself hears a
likeness of Washington, modelled after
the Equestrian statue in Richmond, a
wreath composed OF leaves and flowers
of the staple crops of the south, an in
scription: "The Confederate States oi
America, 22 February, 1862" and
the motto: "Deo Nindice."
The seal and press were made in
England at a cost OF about 5000, and
reached Richmond just about the time
OF the evacuation in 1865, so that nc
official use was ever made OF it.

An Exchange of Pleasantries.

Chicago Tribune: Loud blew the
night winds. Monotonously rasped
the early autumn katydid. And yearn-
ingly yowled the abandoned and
shameless cat on the roof of the coal
shed.
"MaIia," observed Mr.. Billus, as
he leaned back in his easy chair and
looked contemplatively at his wife,
'your nose reminds ME OF an interest
ing novel, my dear"
"Why so, John ?" she inquired.
Because it is red TO the very end"
Hoarsely murmured the night winds,
perseveringly scraped thekatydid, and
wilder grew the wall OF the melan-
choly cat on the coal shed.
Mrs. Billus sat in silence, listening to
the weird voice of the night, her hands
folded in sublime contentment, and
her eyes wandering from her husbands
countsnance to the shadow of his pro-
file moving up and down on the wall
as the flame in the coZy CRATE oppo-
site fitfully rose and fell.
"John," she said at last, f'the color
of your nose reminds me somehow OF
the government of Louisiana"
"In what respect, Maria?"
| Because" she answered softly, sit
takes lot o'rye to keep it up"
Mr.. Billus thoughtfully rubbed his
nose and listened awhile in pensive
silence to the mournful night winds,
the voice of the insistent katydid, and
the despairing yowl OF the ostracised
cat in the back yard.
| "And that reminds me, Maria" he
said, reaching out for another chair to
rest his feet on, "that if / hadn't
married you, my dear, you would
probably have been for the rest of
your life like a lottery ticket after the
drawing
"Why?"
Because you would have been all
torn up, my dear"
at wouldn't have made any differ
ence, John" said Mrs. Billus, sweetly,
al drew blank, anyhow"
"You did, my love-" said Mr.. Billus,
his voice trembling with tenderness,
"a blank fool"
"And it would have been better for
me, perhaps" she went on, plaintively,
''if had been like a newspaper with a
lottery advertisement In it."
"Wby SO, madam
Because" replied Mrs. Billus, look
ing placidly into the fire, "then
should have been excluded from the
males"
Mr.. Billus got up and went out, and
as Mrs. Billus sat looking dreamily at
the dancing flames and listening to
the sobbing night winds and the gut.
tsral refrain of the katydid she could
distinctly hear Mr.. Billus swearing and
Throwing stones at the cat.

Noble to-day, in response to inquiry
from the local land Office at Oregon
City, Ore, holds that an applicant
who, prior to the act of Aug. 80 last,
had perfected title to 32O acres or
more under tbegeneral land laws may,
under that act, acquire title to 32O
acres more. That is to say, the act is
not retroactive, and hence the limita-
ton applies only to the amount which
may be acquired after the passage OF
the act.
