The Indignation of New York Democrats
at the mid winter" convention by which
Senator Hill hopes to secure himself solid
New York delegation to the national con-
yention and thereby influence the choice of
other States, is on the increase and will find
expression in mass meeting tomorrow
night. Two delegations to Chicago will
probably be the result The ambitious
Senator's efforts to force himself upon the
party are resented by Democrats throughout
the country. and it seems certain that he
has destroyed his chances for the nomina-
ton, if he ever had any.

Mrs. Hetty Green, whom an at
tempt has been made TO swindle al
Chicago, is the wealthiest woman il
the United States, her fortune being
placed at $32,0O0,O00. She is about
So years of age, and the daughter of 9
New Bedford whaler, who left hel
100000. Not long after this al
aunt died and bcqucathed her $4 ,000,.
600, and with this combined sum she
is said to have made $32,000,000
Mrs. Green has proved herself q
match for the shrewdest men in Wall
street, as many of them know to their
sorrow. BY her determination in
withdrawing deposit of $4,000
which she had with Cisco Brothers
she was said to have caused that
firms failure. Although being as
sured that the removal of SO large a
sum would cause the firm embarrass
ment, she still insisted on it. She is
very economical, her one desire being
to make her son the richest man in
the United States. 1t appears that
title deeds have been forged, covering
half a section of land valued at from
S5O,OOO to 81 100000, the property of
Hetty r. Green. She is much criti-
cised for her precipitate action, in dis
regarding the advice Of her lawyer
and exposing the scheme, thus up
setting plans of police, lawyers, real
estate and abstract men to detect the
smooth forgers. AS it now stands the
law is powerless to act. Vincent
Mailie was the man who attempted to
secure the transfer of the immense
property in the deed on the name of
Joseph b. Anderson, of Hammond,
Ind, which he claimed he had pur-
chased of Anderson. The latter could
not be found, but Mailie comes to the
front now with the repetition of his
declaration that about three months
ago he paid over to Anderson every
dollar he had in the world for the
deed, never suspecting anything
wrong. Mrs. Green claims that she
was aware of the forged documents,
and, after waiting three weeks for
her attorneys and the authorities to
head off the forgers, determined to
save hersef, and therefore filed the
bill in chancery that gave publicity
to the scheme and frightened the
originators away.

An Epidemic of Bloody FIux.

Last summer the flux ragged here to
fearful extent. About five miles
north OF here, at the Whiteside grave
yard, there were five victims of this
dreadful disease buried in one day.
The doctors could do nothing with
the disease. When my family were
taken, went to Walters Bros, of
Waltersburg, and told them the stu
alton. They said to give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
remedy; that they'had sent out sew
eral hundred bottles into the infected
district and ''every day we hear how
this medicine is curing them. So far
we have not heard of its failing in a
single instance" went to giving it
and could soon see the good effects
and a cure was the result. Anyone
doubling these facts may write to me

Every farmer should have rcfriger
ator, and a good one can be made in
this way: A box of any suitable
shape is made with double sides and
bottom and cover. The space is filled
with powdered charcoal, and the in
side is well painted or lined with
sheet zinc or tin. Tie box should
stand twice as high as it is wide each
way, and is divided into two parts by
a metallic division. The ice rests
upon this, and this part should have a
pipe to carry off the water as the ice
melts. The lower chamber is pro-
vided with shelves on which the ar
ticles to be kept cool are placed, and a
door for access is fitted to the front.
The ice-box on top is covered by lid
or falling door, Am. Dairyman.

That Stop Hole.

How. many farmers home is there
which does not have fostering slop-
hole somewhere around it? A COR
respondent of the N. Y. Tribune in
PRODUCES the subject in this wise:
THAT slophole! Which one +?
That one under your kitchen window
where you throw slop out at broken
pane that one by the kitchen door !;
that one within a few feet of your
own or your neighbours well. You
are cultivated, refined. You would
not drink out of the slop bucket; oh,
mol But how good it tastes when
having percolated through few feet
of earth you draw it out OF WELL"
And not only the earth and water
that percolates through it are poisoned
but the air is loaded with disease-en-
rendering microbes that are drawn
into the lungs by thousands, at every
breath, thus poisoning the blood
which the air should purify, as they
poison the water which is the vehicle
for dissolving the food and carrying
its nutrients to every minutest point
of the system. Not only this, but
look at that clubhouse located so as to
have its poisonous typhoid fever con-
tents percolate into the well whence
the water for family use is drawn.
Then, too, look at the fearful nearness
of the barnyard, and consider the
character of the soil so well adapted

not The family well, it may be the one
that stock-the cows included-are
watered at, loading their bodies with
foulness to be taken secondhand
through the milk. if it does not cause
some sort of mysterious sickness in
some animal having a constitution too
weak to longer resist the effects of the
poisoned draughts of water. Is not
this a subject for sober thought? See
to it, and make assurance doubly sure
by removing all possibility ofpoisoned
water from these or any other sources.

Potato Prices this Year.

Generally, we think, the potato crop
is ii good one in this country the
present season. Even with a failure
the price cannot be very high, as the
duty of % cents per bushcl will not
shut out the Canadian supply, which
this year is very large. 1t is there
fore probably well for those who have
good crops of early potatoes, to mar
ket them now, as the early price is
better than it is likely to be later, and
early potatoes will make no more
growth.-Amercan Cultivator.
A correspondent vi Country Cen
teman advises growers 10 trace the
owners name upon superior speci-
mems. This may be done with the
point of a slender pOcket-kmifc. and
as Tie cicatrices enlarge with the
growth of the squash, the name will
make a very pretty appearance, even
though the tracing was not very arts
ticaIly done. This will help the
owner to dispose of his productions to
better advantage, because those who
buy them and like them will search
for more with the same name upon
