ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN.
Once. I'm an Imprompfn Outburst,
He Described the New South.

Once, as Mr.. Lincoln lay upon his
f~avorite lounge in the registers office,
says a writer in Uarper's Magazine,
while the register and his messenger
were engaged i'll their work. and, as
he liked them TO do, paving no atteu-
ton to him. lie broke into a magnifi-
cient Outburst-a word painting of
what the South would be when the
war was over, slavery destroyed and
she had had an opportunity to develop
her Il under the benignant in
fluence of peace. Twenty Years and
more afterward this scene flashed up
on my memory with the visidness of
an electric light as | recognized the
word picture of Mr.. Lincoln in the
following words of welcome by an
eloquent Southerner to a Northern
delegation: You are standing.- lie
said, -at this moment in the gateway
that leads to the South. The wealth
that is there, no longer hidden from
human eyes. flashes in Your very faces.
You can smell the roses of a new
hope that fill the air. You can hear
the heart beats Of progress that come
a upon the wings of heaven. You
can reach forth YOUR hands and almost
the gold that the sun rains
down with his beams as he takes his
daily journey between the coal mine
and the cotton field; the highlands of
wood and iron. of marble and granite:
low lands of tobacco. Of sugar and
Of corn and cane. of wine milk
and honey" such was the picture Of

Lincoln's faith.

PALMER ELECTED.
The Eight weeks Senatorial Struggle

she IGN eeNs
I'm EIIIuoIi Ended To-day.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. March 1.-The
Senatorial fight was practically ended
last night when Farmers Alliance
Representatives Moore and Cockrell
issued an address stating that they
would vote no longer for A. j.
S%treetcr. but would change their votes
TO John N. Palmer on the first ballot
TODAY. Such a pledge placed victory
at once on the Palmer standard and
tO-day's proceedings were the tri-
umphant celebration Of the victory
thus assured.
Yesterday was q double Waterloo
and two Napoleons went down to-
gether-A. J. Strettet and Long
Jones. The detection of Cockrell and
Moore from the Streetcr cause at the
very moment of victory was the sort
of a shock that knocks men out of
time before they realize what hits
them. There Is no doubt that it fell
like a thunderbolt on the head of
Long Jones. When that ~ould-bo
Senatorial Warwick arrived from
Chicago late Monday night he was
radiant, flushed with anticipated VIC
tory. He confidently predicted that
there -would be an election on the
second ballot Tuesday" and was al
ready in imagination reaping the
glory of his victory over the Palmer
forces. Mr.. Jones was counting upon
the undenlable fact that four of the
five Oglesby men were even then
whipped into line for Streeter, and
that the fifth, Senator Evans; would
cast the electing vote when he
saw 1O2 men supporting the combine
But Long" Jones was
reconing without his host sadly, and
as soon as he saw Taubeneck Of the
big Three" he learned the startling
of the revolt of Cockrell and
Moore.
General Palmer was elected on the
l54th ballot, Messrs. Moore and Cock;
rell voting for him.

advertising is the absolute prerc-
quisite to the sale of goods: and your
best advertisers are AWAY. your
enemies. Your friends sometimes go
to sleep; your enemies never do; and
whenever the good-natured public,
being neither friend nor enemy, wakes
up to the consciousness that there is
something 10 be considered, they do
not pay much attention to the adver-
tisments, but proceed to examine the
goods. The House OF Representatives

Skins on Fire
with Itching, Burning, Bleeding
EcZemas Instantly Relieved by
Cuticura Remedies.

Our little son will be four years of age on
the 18th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in a physician. who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in an aggregated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in
water, strong liniments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians, until no less than
six had attempted TO cure him, all alike
falling, and the child steadily getting worse
aud worse. uutil about the 20th OF last July,
when we began to give him CUTICURA RE-
SOLVENT internally, and the CUTIcURA ana
CUTIcURA SOAP externally and by the last of
August he was so nearly well that we gave
him only one dose of the REsoLYENT about
every second dav for about ten days longer,
and he has never been troubled since with
the horrid malady. In all we used less than
one-half of bottle of CUTIoURA REsoLY ENT,
little less tnan one box of CUTIcURA, and
only one cake of CUTICURA SOAP.

MUST SETTLE AGAIN.
The Seal Contractors Will Stand
for Their Rights.


WASHINGTON, June 19-The North
American Commercial company. through
its attorney, has filed protest with Act
ing Secretary Spaulding, of the treasury
department, i'll which 1t recites that it
has right to take fur seals from the
Islands of St. Paul and st. George
for the period of twenty years
from May l, $780, and that IL has
and will continue to perform the stipu-
lations OF its lease. The company states
that it was assured quota of 10000
sealskins during 1890, and upon such
times the amount paid by a former
lessee. Upon the acceptance of the
lease the company made large outlay in
buildings and provisions. and arranged
for transporting the 10000 SealSkinS to
San Francisco.
The company says that it was COM
PEELED to cease taking seals on the 20th
day of July, when the sealing season
had not expired, and only one-third of
the quota of skins had been obtained.
and the company was further prohibited
from taking any additional number dur
ing said year. On this account the
company has sustained loss of $780,
600. The company submits that it is
United States such sum as will cOmDen-
safe it for the loss it has sustained
on account of the action of the United
States as aforesaid. and gives notice
that ii will claim to be reimbursed by
the United States to the full amount of
the loss. The company further repre-
SentS that in providing for the mainten-
auce and education of the inhabitants
of the Islands of st. Paul and st. George
it has expended the sum of $l50, ZOO, for
which il has not been reimbursed.
The right of this government 10 take
fur seals on its own territory is not one
of the questions to be submitted to ar
bitration the company claims. and has
no relation to the contention be-
tween the two countries. In
and the United States denies the
right of English and Canadian poachers
to slaughter fur seals in ''our part" of
Behring sea; and this company re-
spectfully insists that the agreement
between the two governments set forth
in the presidents proclamation, in SO
far as it prohibits said company from
taking its lawful quota of sealskins, is
in contravention of the vested rights of
this company, and subjects it to great
loss.
If it is assumed, as England has as
serted and this government has denied,
that the eastern portion of Behring sea
is not the marine territory of the United
States, but is the thigh SEAS" the COM
pany respectfully submits that it is not
competent for Great Britain and the
United States alone, or for ony other.
two governments, to determine who
shall be permitted to navigate these
waters or to prohibit fishing or taking
seals on the high seas.

year ago Bertram Saloy died, leaving an
estate valued at 500. 600, which he willed
to his wife CarmeIite. About three
months ago Saloy's widow died, and the
estate was claimed by her sisters and
brothers and their descendants,
and they were put in posses
sion by order of the court.
To-day in the civil district court At
torney General Rogers and associate
counsel. Girault, Farrar ard Wynne
Rogers filed petition of intervention
on behalf OF the state of Louisiana
which claims to be the sole heir of the
widow of Bertram Saloy, and praying
fol all injunction against the admins
tlatOrS of the estate and the parties who
have been recently recognized by this
court as heirs, enjoining each of them
from in any manner parting with. dis
posing of, cOncealing, paying out or ap-
portioning the property.
The petition states that Carmelite
Cragno. wife of Bertram Saloy
was an adulterouS bastard and the off
spring of an iilegitimate connection be-
tween Dolores Morlas, alias Manuella
Louisa MOrles, and Antoni Cragno, late
resident of this city, now deceased.
The petitioners allege that during the
existence of the lawful marriage of Mrs.
Saloy's mother with her lawful hus-
band Juan Cortalorestal, who lived in
Havana, she (the mother) had been
guilty of adultery and lived in
open concubinage with the said
Antoni Cragno in this city and
that said Mrs. Bertram Saloy now de-
ceased. was the fruit of the said illi-
cit and adulterous connection, and not
legal or lawful deScendrnt or heir
had been put In possession of the prop
erty illegally, and for these reasons the
state is the only heir at law. Petitioner
shows that when the administrators of
the estate We're appointed by this court
there has not come to the knowledge of
the attorney general the facts above
recited,

A. 0. u. w. BENEFITS.
Proposed Change in the Benefi-
ciary Paragraph.

clary Paragraph.
DETROIT, Mich.. June l9.-An in
nocent-looking resolution, offered by K.
E. Biggs, of Kansas, kept the
A. o. U. w. convention busy all
the forenoon to-day and an hour and
a half after the usual dinner hour.
1t provided for the amending of the
beneficiary paragraph so that it should
as follows: ''The beneficiary certifi-
cate issued to members shall be sub
substantially the same in general form
as that prescribed for the supreme
lodge beneficiary jurisdiction"
The lodges have had trouble with sus-
pended members, who insisted upon
the payments of sick benefits, just as if
they were in good standing, and often
they have enforced their claims in the
courts. The certificate issued has
been in the nature of a contract, and
the courts have held that the burden of
proof rested with the lodges to show that
the suspended members were not in
good standing, which is not always easy
to do. owing to informality or Imperfect
ton in the records. This proposed
change in the certificate would reverse
the order ami throw the burden of proof
on the plaintiff. The debate was long
and tedious, and at 1:30 p. m. an adj
Journment till a. III. tomorrow was
taken without vote upon the reso!u-
fion
