NOTHING MUCH IN 1T.

But He Had Lots OF Fun With
the Customs Officer.
When we crossed the line again at
Port Huron and Sarnia things were q
little more exciting, says the Toronto
Globe. 1t was 1890 at night for one
thing, and it struck me as being rather
a strange coincidence that we should be
halfway between the two countries,
just as we were halfway between night
and morning. Being loyal Canadian,
the land of my birth was, of course, rep
resented by morning.
passengers open their vaIises for ex-
animation by the customs officer" l
looked up eagerly, hoping to see a
more impOsing-looking individual
than the one whom l had encountered
before; but no. | was again doomed to
disappointment. 1t was the same sort
of sad-looking old man. Sitting op-
posite me, or rather reclining in IL
position more suggestive of comfort
than of grace, was verdant-look-
ing country youth, who had for
some time been making night hideous
with his SHORES. Upon being rudely
awakened by the customs officer and
requested to open his valise, he replied:
There's nothin' much in it," and
ClOSSu HIS eyes dsdll. lIo UlllCeT gave
him no very gentle shake, saying:
''Open your vaiise, SIR" The fellow
raised himself up. leaning his head on
his hands, and blinking stupidity at the
officer replied again that There was
nothin' much in it." and prepared to
close his eyes once more.
open your valise, sir" exclaimed the
officer, out of all patience. BY this
time most OF the passengers in the car
were watching the fun. Slowly the
young giant unstrapped his valise, re-
peatlng all the time that there was
nothin' much in it," Slowly but surely
we were crossing the ferry, where the
Sullen waters of the st. Clair river were
cleaning darklv beneath the glare of
the electric lights, and slowly but surely
that young man was opening his
valise beneath the wrathful CLEAN
of that officers eyes and the amused
looks of many pairs of others. At last,
after much fumbling in different pOck-
cts, he brought forth bunch of keys.
Very deliberately he tried first one and
then another in the lock, and at length
remarked that he guessed none of them
would fit. 81 don't care whether they
fit or not, open it at once or I'll force it
open. l can't stand here all night"
was the angry reply.
81 guess maybe it amt locked at all,
for there amt nothin' mnch in it," said
the eXasperatiDg youth, quite coolly, as
he very slowly pressed the lock between
his thumb and finger. The valise flew
open and diSclOSed-one old newspaper.

DEPEW REELECTED.
Union Leaguers Choose Chaunce,
by Big Majority.

Union LeaguerS Choose Chauncey
by a Big Majority.
New YORK, Jan. 14.-Never in the
history of the Union League club has
an election of officers caused such
partisan feeling than that which ex-
hibited itself tonight. A formidable
element headed by Cornelius n.
Bliss opposed the reelection of Chaun-
cey M. Depew as the clubs president.
Mr.. Bliss had said repeatedly that he
did not want the Office, and threatened
to vote for Depew. This announcement
did not daunt the opposition party, and
when the polls opened at $3.50 o'clock
this evening a large force of workers
was on hand in the interest of the Bliss
ticket.
The regular ticket had an army of SUP
porters and between the two the mem
bers were thoroughly button-holed. The
entrance Of DR.. Depew into the club
house was the signal for an outburst of
cheers which were echoed aQ ain and
again. Then the Bliss party took up the
cheering and made the walls resound
with their enthusiastic demonstration
Mr.. Bliss was unable to attend the cleo
ton owing to sickness, it was said.
A steady stream of members passed
in the doors until O'Clock, the hour for
calling the meeting. When the polls
were closed at $50 it was estimated that
nearly, if not more, than 700 members
had voted. and many had as yet been
unable to vote. Therefore it was de-
cided to keep the polls open an hour
longer. 1t was then thought that Mr..
Depew would pull through without
much difficulty. At 10 O'Clock a
long line of members was still
waiting to vote. Bets of two to one were
offered that Depew would be reelected.
Seven hundred and twenty-one men
had voted. At IL o'clock the pools were
closed and the counting begun. When
the result was announced, and DR.. De-
pew declared reelected, the club house
rang with cheers. Appended is the
vote: Number of votes cast 722, C. NJ.
Depew 425, G. n. Bliss 292, j. II. Choate

BROKE THE DEADLOCK.
Poyneer Does it Handily-Demo-
Gratis Elected.

DIES MONIES, To-, Jan. 1.-THE dead
lock in the ssnate was broken this
morning. AS decided on last night, the
Republican caucus committee, in its re-
port of candidates for minor offices,
disregarded the wishes of the Eagle,
Independent. Lieut.-Gov. Poyneer, at
the opening. announced a change in his
position. Heretofore he has held that
the votes of a majority of the members
elect were necessary to choose perma-
nent officers. He modified this by hold
ing that only majority of a quorum
was necessary.
The senate then proceeded to vote
for secretary. The Republicans voted
for Cliff, and Engle for Kennedy, while
the Democrats refrained from voting.
The lieutenant governor, however,
caused number of their names ID be
recorded as present. and then announce
that Cliff was elected. The Democrats
protested, but were powerless. Senator
Brown, Republican, voted with the
Democrats for W. f. Conklin for as
sistant secretary, electing him. The
remaining minor officers were elected
by the Democrats in the same way.

While minister to Russia ex-Gov. An

froid of the average American. The
New Yorker desired to be presented to
the car, but as no civilians are &C

that Minister Curtin could do was to
offer his c0mpatriot chance to see his
august majesty pass a certain point on
his morning ride.
The New Yorker was promptly on

sleigh, with all pOmp and ceremony,

Some Uses Of the Onion.

While the onion stands at a :disadvan-
tage among vegetables on account of its
pronounced and not wholly agreeable
odor. it Is, says Good Housekeeping,
doubtless one of the most valuable and
healfhful products of the garden. This
value is not confined to its use as an art
icle of diet since the efficiency of onion
poultices in cases of Group and similar
diseases are too we'll known to need rep
etition. The roasted heart of all onion,
placed in the ear as hot as it cansbe
borne, Will often relieve cases of ear
very excellent cough syrup is sA made de- by !,
putting half a cup of minced onions
into cup each of vinegar and molasses,
simmering on the stove half an hour
and then straining. A teaspoonful of
this syruo taken frequently will relieve
severe cases Of cough and hoarseness.
1t is claimed that onions, as an article
of food. are excellent blood purifiers,
greatly improving the complexion.

Opposes incubation of Hogs

In aninterview State Veterinary Sur
geon Stalker warns the farmers of Iowa
against inoculating hogs as preventive
of cholera. The flooding of the state by
circulars offering to furnish instructions
so that farmers can inoculate their herds
or have it done caused the interview.
DR.. Stalker holds that all experiments
in this direction have only proven that
the disease itself can be communicated,
and not mild type which will prevent
the disease. He cites the Ottawa, ILL.,,
experiments in proof of this position,
and says the adoption OF incubation at
this stage is fraught with great danger
to the swine industry of the state.

For my own use l should prefer horse
