Indoor Ball.

Our children are getting lots of amuse-
ment these cold winter days from the
game of 'twool ball." and perhaps other
children may find it good fun. The
children are seated around a perfectly
smooth topped table. A little raw wool
is formed into light ball and placed in
the center of the table. The children
then commence to blow toward it, each
one trying to drive it from him and off
the table, If possible, and the child who
allows it to pass his right side and fall
on the floor is excused from the table.
and stands in line by the wall. Each
one who allows the ball to pass by and
fall on the floor retires in line. The
longer the ball is kept on the table,
everyone blowing as hard as possible,
the more amusing the game becomes

All DenOuncing EnClaud.

HAIIFAX, y $, March 23.-Great ex-
element exists IN Newfoundland over
the action Of the imperial government
IN referring only one feature Of the fish
cries troubles with France toarbitration
and the attempted passage OF an act
through the British parliamentto coerce
Newfoundland into carrying out the mo-
dus vivendi
Dispatches were submitted to tbs legis-
lature on Saturday which showed that
although the British government deter
mined months ago to introduce a coer-
cion low into parliament and privately
notified Governor O'Brien to that effect.
they instructed him not to inform the
Newfoundland government Of this in
tention until the bill was formally in
troduced in the House of lords The
knowledge of this fact has set the peo-
pie wild. In the legislature party lines
have been made on both sides of the
House, denouncing the "coWardly and
treacherous conduct of the British gov
eminent"
Delegates will be appointed to imme-
diately proceed to London and formally
protest, not only against the enactment
of the coercion law but also the reference
of the fisheries question to arbitration
without the whole question be soreferred.
The delegates, however, did not expec,
to accomplish anything; and in this
event the legislature Will pass resolutions
setting forth that by the neglect and i'll.
treatment of century England has for
feited all claims to further allegiance
A formal appeal Will then be made tc
the United States for protection and fol
admission as State of the republic.

Half million gallons Of Cuban mo-

Sunday night on the British oil-tank

\ PTrsBURG dispatch of Tuesday says:
The grip has become a generally danger
Gus disease The death rate has increas-
ed to a great extent and this month
will break the record by the alarming
increase Of 30 per cent. Closing at noon
723 deaths have occurred in Pittsburg
and Allegheny in twenty-four days of
this month. Thirty-eight deaths have
been reported within the last twenty
four hours. The direct cause given on
the certificates are grip, influenza,
pneumonia, typhoid fever and diptheria.
From the last named disease one death
per day hiss occurred within the past three
weeks at the Home OF the Friendless
alone. In the two cites there were fifty
one funerals on last Sunday, and there
were not one-half enough horses to go
around
Respectable covered wagons are in use
and carriages are daily at IL premium.
In one large clothing house twenty-three
clerks are laid off with the influenza,
which is daily growing more severe and
now numbers nearly 5000 victims in
the city and suburbs. Physicians are
overworked and some have as high as
forty to sixty cases Of grip alone. 1t IS
estimated that over 1000 people are
suffering with grip in towns along the

tinued struggle to avert the danger
which is now said to have taken definite
shape in q formal alliance between
France and Russia. The greatest pos
sible solidarity Of the Dreibund would
hardly console him for this misfortune.
The news that the Gar has consented
to a treaty with the Republic needs Off

was not regarded as likely that he would
approve their plans while France held

SPECTATORS SAYS the Philadelphia
Record, are playing the crop shortage for
all that it is worth rs = lever 10 advance
prices for grain. Values Of wheat are
now 20 cents per bushel higher than
they were a year ago, and corn and oats
prices are more than double the moder-
ate rates then prevailing. The bulk OF
last years heavy exports of corn was
sold on the Atlantic seaboari on a basis
Of cost equivalent to 36 cents per bushel.
The market to-day Is at 76 cents. Oats
that sold Al 2S cents per bushel last year
viii now command 81 cents. These
prices go far 10 compensate the grain
producing sections for the deficiency Of
Weld; vet consumers the world over are
feeling the effect of the advance not
only in the values of breadstuffs, but in
the higher cost of provisions (of which
grain Is the feeding basis), as well as in
the scarcity and high cost Of dairy pro
duce that have resulted from the les
sened supply OF feeding crops and the
enforced marketing of cattle.
II would seem that values now ruling
in the grain markets are dangerously
high, even under existing supply condi-
tions; but the spectators are in control,
and the markets are extremely sensitive
to bullish influences. Reports of damage
to the Continental wheat crops are help
ing the upward tendency of values in
this country.

She Anticipated Him.

DEKALB, Bowie Co., Tex, March 25--
William Watts, a farm hand on the
plantation of ]. NJ. Winston, about fif-
teen miles from this place, told his wife
on arising yesterday morning that she
only had a short time to live and recon-
mended that she make peace with the
Almighty. He declared that he had
made up his mind to kill her, and that
as soon as he was dressed he would car
ry out his murderous intention. The
woman, knowing the desperate character
OF her husband, decided that her only
hope for life lay in adopting desperate
means herself. She accordingly went to
the wood pile, and possessing herself of
the az, stole cautiously into the house,
and while her husband was tving his
shoe crept up behind him and split his
head in twain, killing him instantly.
She was arrested and held to bail for
trial.

Pennsylvania Robbed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-Recent
revelations at Mercer, Pa, disclose the
fact that the State of Pennsylvania has
been robbed of more than 81, 900, 900 in
the management of the Soldiers Orphans
schools. The illegal profits of one of
ten big schools amounted to S270, 900,
and this school was one of three that
were controlled by syndicate headed by
ex-State Senator George w Wright, of
Mercer, Pa.
The fortunes accumulated by eight
men through pinching the orphans and
fleeing the State are alleged to be,
rOundly, a. follows: George W. Wright
$500, 600; John |. Gordon, S2S5, 900; :.
F. Thompson, 500, 900; James l.. Paul,
SOC, 900; Mayor Moore (WhitehalD,
S125, 900; Professor Sweet, $50, 900; the
Rev. \. F. Waters (Uniontown), $780,
600; total, 81 G95, 600, All of the gains
appropriated by these men were &C
quired in direct violation of the law,
without contract of any kind,
a considerable part of this sum may
be recovered, as the persons here named
have retained $3.50, 900 of their profits.

But he got pension OF four dollars a
month, was rerated and got six, then
eight, then "a, and at last, by hocus
pocus deception and collusion, $50. His
business partner was examining sur

AT the Republican conference IN
this city, says the indianapolis Sentinel,
Mr.. W. T. Brush, of Charlottesville, q
very prominent member of the grand
old party, frankly declared that Indiana
was carried for Harrison in 1883 with
Doodle. His assertion was not chal-
lenged by any of the hundred or more
Republicans who heard it. Mr. Brush
also declared that unless some method
could be devised of overturning or evad-
ing the new election law the Republi-
cans would have no chance of carrying
the State in 1892 This was very plain
talk, but everybody who heard it reali-
zed that it was true, and no one seems
to have ventured suggestion that In
diana might possibly go Republican at
an honest election. It's grand old
