The church, as it is a potential factor in the universal human race, includes all men and there is not man living who is not a member of the Christian church. The weakness of the church has always come from it's failure to recognize this great truth. The Christian church is the primary specialization of manhood. It is the gathering of manhood into shape. Who belongs to this Christian church ? Everybody. You and you and you the most complete skeptic and the most absolute infidel. as well as the truest slints, are by right members of the Church of Jesus Christ. Phillips Brooks.

I once fed wholly on corn and my hens were fat, but did not lay eggs. After consulting with others, I saw my mis- take, so changed the manner of feeding, both in kind and amount. After time the difference in my interest was very apparent. Feed is the most important factor in successful poultry raising. A man who knows how to feed properly will soon learn the other points, which means success. feed but twice day. Tn the late afternoon, chop up crumbs, parings, etc., from the table and have the table waste from a neighbor near by, rejecting lemon, orange peel, coffee and tea grounds, etc., adding small amount of wheat, oats, or wheat bran, to each mess. Once week little mix ture of fine table salt and once month very little red pepper is given, taking care that the fowls do not get it in their eyes. In the morning, l feed equal parts of corn, oats and wheat. To pen of twelve layers and one male, give thirteen handfuls of the grain and to those having no access to barnyard manure, two or three extra handfuls. Too much feeding is stupid blunder. A hen properly fed and cared for will produce just about an average number of eggs during the year.

Likely to Withdraw it

New YORK, Oct. "A week ago
the leaders of the New York county
democracy decided to defer putting
into the field third city ticket until
tonight. Just what Ex-Mavor Grace
and his friends will do at their meet
ing this evening can only be surmised,
but the indications are that opposi-
ton to Tammany in New York will
not be resolved upon. 1t appears
that the eypostulations of Chairman
Harrlty and Don M. Dickinson have
been of avail and today will probably
bring out a change of programme.
This is certainly probable as no day
has passed in the last few weeks dur
ing which an effort was not made to
influence the county democracy
against the nomination of a third
ticket in New York City. The result
of tonight's meeting will surely be
far-reaching.

ALMOST A SUICIDE.
The JailOr Appears in Time TO Save
the Life of a Noted Vagrant.

William OrmSby Is an old man, quite
well known in this city and especially at
police headquarters as a drunkard and
vagrant in the full sense of the word.
Yesterday afternoon he was in very in
tOXicated condition on South Flores street
and was disturbing the entire neighbSr-
hood with his loud and vile language. He
was arrested by Officer EaSterly and
lodged in the city jail about 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon Later in the evening about
O'Clock, when the city jailor made his
rounds, he heard a murmur sounding
IKE man in distress or one who had
been in deep trouble. On going to Orms-
by's cell he found. him standing near the
wall without any clothes on his body.
When the jailor asked him what he had
done with his clothes he said there they
are" pointing to long string of strips
which was hanging from the upper iron
bars. 10 his deliriouS condition he had
torn all OF his clothes into small strips,
tied them together and was about TO hang
himself when the jailor made his appear
ance.
VIM. Ormsby is man about sixty years
of age and one who has at one time in
life, been in high circles, but drink
got the best of him, and for several
years past he has been confirmed
drunkard, a pennilesS and homeless be-
ing. He has been an inmate of the county
poorhouse two or three times, but is too
wild at times TO content himself there,
consequently he has taken to begging and
drinking. anXiouSly awaiting the appear

not as yet decided as to what will be done
with him, but il he is turned loose to pur-

All Over q Feed Bill.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
there was a little excitement in a saloon
on South Alamo street, the cause being a
combat between Louis Kraft and a.
Meyer. They were arrested and this
morning appeared before the recorder for
trial. The evidence was about as fol-
lows:
On January 25th, Meyer purchased
some feed from Kraft, amounting in price
to 81 30. Since that time the purchaser
has not offered to pay the amount, though
he had been asked TO do so on several
occasions by Kraft. Yesterday, when
Meyer was in saloon drinking with
some friends!Kraft walked in aud again
presented the bill. The money was not
forthcoming and Kraft called his oppo-
nent some vile names. A blow was then
struck by Meyer who was insulted by
the language having been used, and
rough and bloody fight enSued. When
Meyer had succeeded in getting the best
of Kraft, the latter'S wife ran to the res
cue Of her husband and in the struggle,
trying to take Meyer off him, he,
Meyer bit her fingers very severely.
The recorder ti'd Mr.. Kraft IS and dis
missed the case against Meyer with
the words to Kraft''you can go before the
Justice and make a charge against Meyer
for the finger biting and he may be dealt
with severely"

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. THE threat
ened rebellion In the democratic par
ty in Kansas has taken the shape
today of q state convention, which Is
called for the purpose of outlining a
policy for such members of the demo-
cratic party as do not intend to sup
mort the fusion ticket. The call for
this convention, after referring to
their general dissatisfaction in an al
lance platform says: "By the action
of the Fusion convention you are not
only deprived of the opportunity OF
directly expressing your appreciation
of the wisdom. distinguished services,
and exalted patriotism of the worthy
successor OF Jefferson and Tilden,
Grover Cleveland, but an attempt
was also made to deliver you to hos
tile political organization, which, If
successful, would destroy our party In
the state and bring disaster and ruin
to the material interests of our peo-
pie" The call acquiesces in the &C
ton of the last convention regarding
presidential electors, and the coming
convention will confirm that action,
"but to the end that the credit and
good name of our state may be pre-
served, and the principles of the par
ty upheld. all straight out democrats
are called upon to day to meet with
the signers, when definite action re-
garding state legislature and congress
