Old Elmiry Got There.

Frank Barksdale, OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, witnesseda very funny
incident the other night in sleeping
car en- route to Virginia. One of the
passengers was a fine looking old man.
who had lived in Elmira, n. Y, all his
life, and was taking his first trip on
railroad. The sleeper seemed TO mys
tify him great deal. The old man
began to grow sleepy, and the porter
ask ed him il he wouldn't like his berth
fixed up. The Elmira tourist, after
the bed was made, glanced anYiously
around, and, finally, went out on the
rear platform. After the lapse of
about fifteen minutes, the door flew
open, and the passengers were amazed
to see the Elmira man, in Il suit of
flaming red underwear. and his arms
full of garments, dart rapidly up the
aisle and disappear head-first into his
berth. A minute later n chucking
voice was heard coming out OF the
berth:
"Old Elmiry may be a little slow in
some things, but she gets thar Just

Farm and Garden Notes.

How many acres do the fences or
your farm waste
Improve the roads, lessen the fences
save the manure.
How is the road along your farm
Can it be improved? How!
When the fowls get too fat an eI
elusive feed OF oats will reduce them.
Damp quarters and stagnant water
often prove fatal to turkeys and chick
ems.
Thoroughly withdrawing the hen
house inside and out will aid in kill
ing out the lice.
Poor roads are the heaviest taXnost
farmers bear. Reduce the tax by i'm
proving the roads.
Properly fed, duck at nine or ten
weeks old should weigh four pounds,
chicken two pounds.
Hens should be killed when three
years old, as they lay less eggs every
wear after the third.
Good roads, clean culture and few
fences will help on The day when farm
ing will be more profitable.
In Horticulture nothing can take
the place Of a keen eye" and a quick
mind" to see that "all is we'll"
What did your fence corners pro
duce last year ? Are they going TO be
used the same way the coming sea
son?
Milk, sweet or sour, is the best poul-
try food. 1t may be fed in several diff
ferent ways. 1t is excellent for laying
hens
The best cross for sitting hens is a
vigorous pet game cock with good
partridge Cochin hens. This also
makes good tablefowl
You should never give your fowls a
bad fright, as it Injuries them, and it
will cause falling off in the number
Of eggs for few days
The early chicken is the largest and
strongest, and will never be overtaken
by the ones that are Matched out late;
push the early Matching.
Cracked wheat or corn makes bet
ter feed after the chickens get old
enough to eat it than either fed
ground fine and made into a mush.
Gather your eggs as soon after lay
ing as may be. They are liable to be
come broken in the nests and eaten by
the hens, thus laying the foundation
Of very bad habit.
When you receive a basket of eggs
for hal ching, let them rest from TWEEN
ty-four to forty-eight hours before
being set, and they will recover from
the Earring received while travelling.
The farmer who lets his calves and
colts stand out of doors all day, may,
by process of evolution, succeed in
raising animals that will be hardy,
| but hardness will be their only vir-
tue.
1t costs no more TO raise the best
breeds of poultry than the common
barnyard fowl. while the returns are
double. Get a setting of eggs from
some reliable breeder and convince
yourself Of the fact

The Poet Is Very Misunderstanding
the Best bf Care NO Hope OF
Recovery.
NEwBuRYPoRT, Mass, Sept. 5.-The
condition of the Poet John g. Whittier at
last accounts were not improved, but
rather there was perceptible change for
the worse. The poet is very weak, but is
conscious and recognizes his friends. Doc
tors John A. Douglass of Amesbury and
Francis A. Howe of this city are in at
tendance upon the sick man. DR.. Douglass
will pass tonight at his bedside, while DR..
Howe will be there tomorrow. One of
physicians said tonight that there was no
hope of Mr.. Whittier's recovery. The fol-
lowing bulletin was issued at noon to-day
by Drs. Douglass and Howe:
"Mr. Whittier has not been suffering
from diarrhoea for some days, but is very
weak. He is perfectly conscious and is
aware of his condition. His most alarm
ing symptom at the time is the great ir-
regularity of his hearts action"
Mr.. Whittier is at Miss Gove's residence
In Hampton Falls, there he is receiving
the best of care. His demise may be looked
for at any time.

IN THE BORDENs, YARD.

They Saw a Murderous.LoOking Man
Climbing over the Fence.
TAUNTON, Mass, Sept. 5.-Mrs. Marshall
of Pawtucket, who has been suffering from
prostration consequent upon the death of
her husband, went to Fall River August
transact some business connected with her
husbands estate. While she and her
daughter were passing along the street in
the rear of the Borden house they both
saw a rough-looking man climb the
fence from Borden's yard, enter a
buggy and drive off. Mrs. Marshall
remarked at the time on the villainous
appearance of the man. About half an
hour after or at II o'clock Mrs. Marshall
drove through Second street and saw the
crowd which had gathered before the
Borden house. On her return home she
suffered again from prostration, SO that
her son would not allow her to see any
newspaper men, but she had already told
her neighbors what she had seen and she
recently sent for Lawyer Jennings and
told him her story. Her illness is her ex-
cuse for not coming forward before. Her
evidence will be read at the next hearing
of the case If one is ever held.

An lncreasing Observance OF the Da


An lncreaslng observance OF the Day
Reported.
NEW York, Sept. GA more beautiful
sunny fall day than this could not have
been chosen by the toilers of this city for
the annual celebration of Labor day. tits
a day of PROFESSIONS, of sports, regattas.
Big parades of organized labor were the
events of the day, both in this city and
Brooklyn, and great crowds viewed
the lines of prosperous look
ing workingmen in each city.
All government Offices, municipal de-
partments and business houses alike rec
ognized the holiday by closing their doors.
The briefest chronicle of the sporting
events in this city and vicinity would make
q long and attractive list.
There were 10000 persons in the big
parade. The day was a close holiday in
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Des-
patches from various points in those states
as well as In New York, announce that the
day was celebrated appropriately, and
much in the same manner as here. 1t
seems to have rsined from Rochester west,
so that the parties at Buffalo, Pittsburg
and elsewheoe were delayed and the pro-
cessions shortened, and in some towns
totally abandoned.

Chrirman Benton of the town committee
said last evening that he had not heard
whether he would be here or not. He had

received reply from them to the effect
that they knew of no change in Governor
McKinley's arrangements. A dispatch was
also sent to Governor Mckinley at Colum-

until to-day. In the event of Governor
Mckinley being unable to be present at the

well G. Horr, one of the sblest tariff talk
