see, on Protection.


Ina speech before congress, May Q,
1888, the Mills bill was under considera-
ton, Judge Houck said:
There is not a single congressional
district in my state, not one, sir, If the
pure and simple and naked question Of
free trade or protection is presented be-
tween the republican and democratic
parties, but would give majority for
protection. But you, gentlemen. know
how you put it. You observe the issue
in every way possible. When we come
to confederate soldier and ask him to
vote as he shot during the war-that is,
for himself and his own interest-that
is. for the interest of himself, his family
and his country, gentlemen on the other
side raise the cry bloody shirt, and, like
the cutie fish, they darken the water
and hide themselves from view and con-
ceal their purposes
"Now. in conclusion, let me say, Mr..
Chairman, if this Mills tariff bill be
passed, it will putOut the fires in every
furnace in the state of Tennessee, and
it will close every marble quarry-and
there are forty of them alone in my
Countrywide it will ultimately destroy
the coal and timber interests, and to-day
lumber is shipped from my district di.
rect to Liverpool. 1t will, in a word,
destroy the most vital interests of the
middle and central southern states,
which today constitute the New South.
Its bliChting and disastrous effects will
fall with mostkilling effect upon the
interest of those states which to-day are
the hope and the glory of the southwest
God grant that a result so ruinous and
unfortunate may be averted, not only
from the southwest, but from the south
and from the north"

Good Year for Crops.

This is great year for big crops.
Now it is the salmon crop that exceeds
anything in the history of the country.
Puget Sound is reported to be so filed
with salmon, making their annual run
to the sound shores and the fresh water
streams for feeding and spawning, that
the steamboats, seem to be floating on
solid mass of fish. The paddles kill
hundreds of them and are choked with
their bodies. The sound steamer
captains describe the run as an I'M
broken string of salmon thirty miles
long, the water for that distance being
alive with them. Neither the oldest
inhabitants nor the aged Indians re-
member such a big salmon run. The
result OF the enormous run is a big re-
duction in prices. Usually good sal
mon sell for 10 to 25 cents APIECE, but
now at cent each the market is glut.
ted with the finest quality of fish. At
Port Williams few days ago two casts
of seine Melted over 5000 fine salmon.
Everybody is fishing.

MARYLAND Surnames.

The eastern shore of Maryland ha
been SO little disturbed by immigration
that the region numbers comparatively
few surnames, so that at various times
1T has been necessary to resort to odd
but very ancient devices to distinguish
between men bearing the same name.
The commonest device is the
patronymic by which of two men
bearing exactly the same christian and
family name one is distinguished from
the other by the addition ''of William. :"
'of Thomas or ''of John" as the case
may be, the meaning of the phrase be-
ing ''sOn Of William, Thomas or John"
Another device once commonly en-
ployed was to couple with the name
an adjective to indicate some phvsi-
cal peculiarity, "long" to indicate
tall man. "black" to indicate a DARK
man or red" to indicate rudy man.
Occasionally the distinguishing word
is uncomplimentary. Devil" is not
an unusual prefix to the christian or
surname of a man having reputation
for vice or recklessness. A man bear
ing one of the best known names In
Maryland carried to his grave this
prefix.

great many people thereabout are thor.
oughly convinced that ''spooks do

in the membership of the local Baptist
church. 1t seems that about ten DAYS
ago, during a revival meeting at which
the Rev. w. T. Reynolds preached, and
at the height of one of his fervid rhap.
sodles, suddenly tuning and throwing
his arm out, he exclaimed: Behold
the Lamb of God that taketh away the
sin of the world!' At that instant a
tall, pale-visaged figure, robed in white
and with eyes of flashing brilliancy,
passed around behind the preacher
and, advancing to the altar, leaned on
one corner of it. But it uttered not
word. The congregation and the min
lister caught sight of the strange and
unearthly apparition about the same
time. The preacher paused, as if med
itating what to say to the ghostly in
truder while a panic seized the horri-
fed spectators, who sprang from their
seats and made mad rush for the
door and windows.
The old minister himself, thoroughly
frightened, dared not look at the

A BEAUTIFUL FORGER.
Former PrOteSe of Mrs. HIcks-
Lord Under Arrest

Baltimore has been agitated from
center to circumference during the past
few days by a scandal which is the
theme of every tongue.
Some days ago Mrs. Catherine f.
Dee, lady OF seemingly high social
position, was arrested for trying to
pass forged check on Sister Benedica,
superior of the City hospital.
She promptly admitted her guilt
when arrested, and told a pitiful tale
of misfortune, restitution and despair
in eXtenuation. She needed the money
to live, and she had recourse to forgery
to supply her wants.
Mrs. Dee is descended from an OLD
and honorable Virginia family. When
mere girl she married her cousin.
who proved a spendthrift and a gam
bler,and brought her to the threshold
of misery and hardship.
Then she came to New York and had
the good fortune to become possessed
of the good will of Mrs Hicks Lord.
Mrs. Dee proved unworthy of the con-
hdence of her benefactress, it is said,
and became involved in some peculiar
matters of a financial nature that
caused the beautiful widow to drop
her from the list of her acluaintances.
; Mrs. Dee then became sort of So
cial adventures, and it is asserted
that several Wall street bankers dis
covered this fact TO their cost.

and at an appointed hour the parties
met and started down the river. The
women were not missed until the next
day, when their angry husbands started
after them on horseback with shot
gums. Tie escapade was well planned.
Kinney and Rhinehart settled up their
business, taking quite sum of money

Fyanc7s Barton.

The ceremony was fixed for the follow
ing day. Barton companion noticed
that he appeared to be preoccupied.
Suddenly he turned in his seat and
said: 81 am going to ..do very strange
thing" What is it?'' inquired his
friend why replied Bar ton, Il am
not going to marry that woman"
His friend looked at him in amaze
ment and asked for an explanation.
This Barton refused to give. The gen
tleman expressed great indignation at
such proceeding and finally retired
to another car. The next day, that
fixed for the wedding, Barton sailed
for Europe. The reasons for his strange
conduct have never been ascertained.
Some time before the marriage was
to have taken place MIR. Barton built
a handsome residence at 1920 Chestnut
street in which to domicile his bride.
For twenty years this house remained
closed. Not soul was ever seen to
enter or leave it. During all this time
Mr.. Barton was living in Europe. The
feeling against him was very bitter,
not only in New York, but among his
former friends in Philadelphia. This
feeling received an additional impe-
tus when, shortly after having been
deserted by the man in whom she
trusted so implicitly, Miss Fisher died
of a broken heart.
About five years ago Mr.. Barton re-
turned. 1t was noticed that the old
house on Chestnut street, which with
each additional year had gained an adj
ditional appearance of decay and
weather stain, was once more open.
A French chef was installed in the
kitchen, an English butler in the
pantry, and a page at the front door,
in addition to a large retinue of other
servants. But although surrounded
by all the Injuries that wealth could
command the proprietor of this mag
niicent establishment was far from
happy. 1t was noticed that his only
visitors were his sister, Mrs. Willing,
and two maiden sisters. When he
walked he spoke to but few people,
and but few people spoke to him, al
though many wondered who the
silent and stern-faced man was.
During the summer months he main
