SENATOR HILLS FRIENDS,


Charles F. Peck of Hornellsville, NY, is the
avant courier Of the Hill boom. He wears on
his breast red ribbon with gold fringe on one
end of it. A portrait Of David B. Hill, printed
in blue ink on . square of white ribbon, is
sewed to it. Mr.. Peck was appointed commits
sioner of the bureau Of labor statistics Of the
state Of New York by Mr.. Cleveland while the
latter was governor, but he does not believe the
ex-President can carry New York this time. 81
do not believe he said, that Cleveland can
carry the state, while l know that Hill can
do it.
Cleveland has proven his inability to carry
the state, while by seven successive victories in
as many years Hill has given evidence that he
can carry it. 1t is essential to democratic sue
cess that New York shall be carried, and do
not see how the convention, which believe is
composed of practical politicians can do
otherwise than nominate Hill 1t will certainly
not nominate man who, on his first appear
ance, carried the state by 1890 votes, who
carried it two years later by . scratch Of only
100 votes, and then in 1883 lost it by Is, 600
plurality"

In 1888, which was considered a re-
markedly prolific year, the number Of
births recorded in this city was 90, 296,
an increase Of nearly 1000 over 1887,
while the regular rate Of increase from
year to year is about 900.
The records Of 1891 promise to COM
pletely eclipse these figures From Jan.
1 TO June l the births registered at the
health Office numbered 1887, while for
a corresponding period of 1899 1878
was the number, an increase for the five
months of 2,544 Physicians say that
there will be a remarkably large number
OF happy families before the year 1892
comes to greet us.
The health Office has also noticed the
large increase in births for this year and
will take extra steps to procure a thor
ough registration. Advices received at
tnis Office show that the increase is true
of the whole country. An extraordinary
large number of birthdays will date
from the good year 1s91.-Philadelphia

Toward the close of the trial of M. f.
Kerr, of Charlottesville, Ind, for forgery,
an incident occurred which, while anus
ing, demonstrated that the average
American still believes in the efficacy Of
signs During a lull in the proceed.
ings a strange black cat, with fierce,
glazing eyes, appeared in the doorway,
causing a solemn silence to fall over the
assembly. 1t paused, looked about, and
slowly swishing its tail to and fro ad.
vanced toward the space between the
prisoner and the jury's box. The ST.
lence became oppressive, and the judge,
lawyers, jurors and prisoner craned their
necks and with open mouths gazed at
the creature.
Would the apparition approach the
prisoner to be touched?' If so the man
was innocent and would be freed.
After standing as if transfxed for sec
onds it approached the prisoner, who
with a superhuman effort stretched
forth his hand and touched the glossy
fur, Immediately the cat gave a joyous
''meow" and disappeared. All were con-
WINGED that Kerr would go free. He was
acquitted. Enquirer

Real Babes in the Wood.

The two pretty little children of David
Wismer, Of Quakertown, figured in the
role of the Babes in the Wood" a few
days ago, but were rescued before the
birds had occasion to cover them up
with leaves. They suddenly took it in
their heads, while playing in the street,
to make a pilgrimage, and set out with
no further preliminaries than the prince
in the fairy tales. They came at last to
the road at Perkasie. several miles
away, but still were unweary, and kept
on their journey over the hills. Wonder

The little ones soon struck the woods
and wandered around among the trees

fast on their heels. He traced his babes
to the woods, where he awoke them,
and took them home with him hal'

A Curious Clock.

A novel clock is now being exhibited
by the Watchmakers' union in London.
It is of wood, beautifully carved and
stands six feet in height. The case is a
perfect fort in miniature, and instead of
a bell and striking hammer the hours
are announced by bugler, who emerges
from a door at one side of the fort and
blows the call to assemble and march.
Almost instantly doors open on ali
sides. A regiment Of automatic sol
diers, six abreast, march out, wheel to
the left, stop a few seconds to mark
time" and then march through another
part of the fortress to the barracks.
These marches and countermarches oc-
cur each hour If they come out to an
nounce the hour of o'clock, one soldier
fires his tiny gun At o'clock two sol
diers fire their pieces, increasing with
the hour until the twelve leaders fire
their guns, the rear ranks bowling their
heads and pointing with their bayonets
toward the dial of the clock. Chicago

To Send Flowers by Telegraph.

Half a dozen florists met at the Sher~
man house recently and tackled the task
of circling the earth with flowers. That
is, they planned a scheme which pro
vides for a chain of correspondents
throughout the world to act together as
one concern for the purpose of executing
orders given in any part of the globe for
anything in floral arrangement from a
tiny buttonhole bouquet to an elaborate
bank of roses. In order to effect this
purpose an organization known as the
Florists International Telegraph Deliv-
cry association was started in Canada
last August.
A majority of the board of directors
do business in the United States. The
gathering was attended by H. s. Lie
brecht, of New York; G. b. Whitnall, of
Milwaukee, and Frank Huntsman, Of
Cincinnati, all three members Of the
board Of directors. G.. L. Grant and
Joseph Curran represented the Chicago
florists. "Our purpose is" said Mr. Lie
brecht, "to make it easy for a man in
Chicago, New York or Timbuctoo to
convey bouquet 10 a lady in any part
of the world, with lightning speed, with
out starting it from the point where he
himself may be.
"For instance, take a person here in
Chicago having a friend arriving or leav-
ing on an ocean steamer in New York
He simply has to walk into the store Of
our agent here and give his order. The
order is at once telegraphed to another
agent Of the association in the place
where the flowers are to be delivered,
and there you are. We have come to
Chicago to perfect our rules and appoint
an agent. - Chicago Herald.

Couldn't Collect with a Club.

1t is astonishing how history repeats
itself For centuries we have been try
ing TO perfect the laws so that no trace
might be left of 1.-THE good old rule, the
simple plan, that he may take who has
the right, and he may keep who can"
Still we are a long ways from the mil
lennium, and every once in awhile some
worthy citizen relapses to the feudal
principle of trying to punch the head off
a creditor when he fails to observe the
sacred traditions of steamship day. An
exasperated Market street tailor way
laid frisky advertising agent the other
evening on the steps Of his boarding
house and collared him.
eff you don't pay me that bill this in
slant I'll club the life out of you," said
the victimized tradesman. The adver-
Using agent cast an anxious look around
and there wasn't soul in sight. Every
one was in the crowded dining room.
His resolve was instantly taken.
Come right into the parlor and I'll
give it 10 you, he said, with a smile,
and the man with the bludgeon released
his grip on his collar and followed him
until the swinging doors of the dining
room flew open and the astonished tailor
stood confronting the staring crowd.
"Do any of you ladies and gentlemen
know this mani" asked the agent The
boarders glared over their knives and
forks and shook their heads. 81 thought

ridor trying one Of the doors with a
skeleton key, and | guess he's the man

The positive resistance and declarations
Of the creditor only made his case worse,
and when the help got through busting
him with his own club the ashman would
have hesitated to pick him up from the
sidewalk. Francisco Chronicle.

The case of the Rev. E. 8. Huntress
against William L. Breckenridge on the
charge Of SANDER was continued at the
superior court in Northampton recently,
the minister asking $4,000 for his al
legged slandered reputation. This case is
a peculiar one, as it is rarely that a
clergyman brings such a suit against any
of his Pensioners. The history of the
case goes back to April, 1889, when the
Rev Mr.. Huntress was preaching at
Ware for the Centre church. He proved
an erratic preacher, lively tall1er and
inclined to fire sharp shots at his people
To use his own expression, he ''plowed
deep in his preaching, so that Deacon
Anderson was led to exclaim: "Why, he
pounded us so much that every one Of us
was mellow all over. His metaphors
took personal twist in his preaching.
The church got into a row in which the
defendant took sides against the min
lister, so that he was designated by Hun
tress as the dominating personality in
the contest After Mr.. Huntress was
dismissed the contest was still kept up

The bursting Of the great fly wheel
or perhaps more properly the driving
wheel-in one Of the mills of Manches-
ter, N. H., illustrates the ever present
danger hidden in the use Of modern ma
chinery. There does not appear to have
been carelessness or even an accident
which usual caution or foresight could
have prevented. The automatic COVER
nor regulating the supply Of steam to
the engine seems to have become clogged,
the engine suddenly speeded up and the
great wheel was set whirling at pace
that tore it into pieces by the enormous
centrifugal force thus generated, scatter
ing the entire building over the country

the work people. This wheel was forty
feet in diameter, with face nine feet
wide, weighing ffty-fve tons and turn

A Hermit with Millions.

The coming novelist who will dissect
the wonder or admiration of the world
will find something worth studying in
the life Of the hermit of New York and
Newport who has just died and left
behind him the $10,000,000 he ached to
take away with him beyond the grave.
For ten years Edmund H. Schermer-
horn had lived in a literally palatial
mansion at Newport, with his gates
locked against all but his physician,
surrounded only by servants, and living
in parsimony which contrasted strangely
with his once spendthrift ways. In my
bOyhood l had heard of him as the gay
est of gay young men about town, and
afterward as entertaining the fashiona-
bic world at lavish expense in his
Twenty-third street residence.
Then, after awhile, he wearied Of so
cial pleasures, drew more and more
within his cell, became a recluse and
scholar, and finally grew utterly unso-
cial. A bachelor of seventy-fve when
he died on Thursday, he belonged to
one Of the oldest of New York families.
Why the wild and luxurious bachelor
leader Of society became transformed
into the unsocial recluse is one of the
secrets at which his friends can only
guess-they allege disappointment in
love-and which the novelist can spell
out TO suit himself. philadelphia Rec
