A Trin of Practical Iokers.

The late W. j. Florence was best
known of the stage as a practical joker.
He rcaed for lis success upon his clever
ness entirely, And it is not recorded
that he ever made an enemy by practi-
cal joke. This love of practical joking
made him and Dundreary Sothern
friends until the end of Sothern's life.
They were continually playing jokes
each upon the other, and whichever way
the joke went it was appreciated. Larry
Jerome, Sothern and Florence were a
famous trio of jokers in New York ten
years ago.-New York Sun.

COST OF RAISING HOGS.
A Middle Georgia Farmer Gives His E>

A Middle Georgia Farmer Gives His Ex-
perience.
AS the raising of hogs is of interest,
especially to our farmer readers, we
publish the following statement from a
Middle Georgia farmer as the result of
his last years work: My meat cost
about three cents per pound. | have
made no calculations of the exact cost.
but will here give the facts and al intel
ested can calculate for themselves. On
the first day of January, 1891, l had
eight shoats just weaned, The latter
part of the same month my sows had
fifteen pigs; these were all turned on 10
acres of rye the LIST of March. The rye.
with very little corn, fed them six weeks.
They cleaned the grain fields every acre
OF which had been cut with a reaper. In
the meantime the rye patch had been
sown in early peas, and seven acres of
Spanish ground peas planted for them.
The middle of August they Were turned

the run of three other acres of the same.
From these they went to the ground.
peas, after which they were fed so BUSH
els of corn. They were slaughtered about
the LIST of December, II pigs Weighing
3,4O0 pounds.
These are the facts as near as | and
those assisting me in my business can
come at them. If any one wishes to try
this plan and has not got the rye, l
would suggest that half an ac Q of col
lards, to this NUMBER of hogs. sown
in some sheltered place in good ground,
and we'll MANFRED now, would make a
good substitute for rye. Sow them thick
aud when six inches high begin to thin
feed them.
In addition to this hogs should have
! plentiful supply of salt and ashes at ali
times, and one or two coats of tar and
grease in the spring. Permit me to say
this is not the first time l have raised
meat on this plan. l have done SO for
several years.

And Flower stock has gone way up
since the State convention at Albany a
few DAYS ago. He has had the presiden-
tial bee for some time now and at present
the lightning is striking dangerously
close around the New York Governor.
THE ALBANY CONVENTION.
The outcome of the Albany convention,
if seems. is that Hill and Cleveland, as
leaders. will so divide the New Democra-
cv as to put the State in the Republican
column should either of these men be
nominated at Chicago.
BUT THEY WANT NEW YORK.
"But." as a prominent Democrat puts

and secure the control of the government

FLOWER rs THE MAN.
He continued: Flower is the man who
can unite the Democracy of New York
and he can easily carry the state to vic
tory. When this is plainly shown TO The
convention at Chicago it will be strong
argument in favor of placing him at the
\ head ofthe ticket.
FLOWER AND GRAY.
Flower is a little too much hand-in-
glove with the Hill people, possibly to
suit the Cleveland people, but this will
be overcome if Gray, a Cleveland man, is
put on the ticket with the New Yorker.
1t seems, at first glance, that the ticket
would surely win.
GOING IN TO WIN.

Rev. II. NJ. Wharton, ID. D.. of Bslti-
more, addressed union meeting OF all the
Baptist female missionary societies In the city
In the main auditorium Of the Second Baptist
church Yesterday afternoon at 4:3O O'Clock.
There were but few ladies present In conse-
ouence OF the inclsment weather. but those who
llstened to the Doctor were well paid. His sub
iect was Foreign Missions" In the treatment
of which he spoke first Of why the people OF tho
Christian world take such little interest In for
eign missions. He said ono reason Is that the
heather ara far away, and our interest
in people is Ia direct proportion TO our
nesrness TO them. Another Is the lack OF infor-
nation concerning the needs OF the beathen,
and lastly, the disinclination to give money.
lie stated further that the reasons why
Christian people should engage In foreign mis-
sions work are, first, the command Of Christ and
the example OF the Apostles secondly, the good
Il does Christian people TO engage In the work,
and lastly, the benefits the heather are TO de-
rive from the knowledge OF salvation, and finally,
the rewards which inevitably follow the work
well done. He closed with q suggestion as TO
the beat methods by which foreign mission work
might be accomplished. Hs said. that Christian
people should pray more for this work, that they
should spread knowledge concerning the pro-
gross OF tho work, and that they should give
moro to the work and that many should 0ner
themselves as candidates for appointment to
foreign mission ields. collection was taken
for the foreign missions, and the meeting closed

Council Committee Meetiugs.
A called meeting OF the Council Com
mittee on Streets was held in the City In
Rineer's ofiics yesterday evening to con-
sider petition Of Mr.. Carlton Mccarthy
and other citizens, who asked that the
Richmond Railway and Electric Company
be required to put conductors on the
Fifth-street electric line. At present the
cars on this line are only supplied with
motormen.
Mr.. Mccarthy and few other citizens.
as we'll as Messrs. Craigie and Wilbur, OF
the railway company, were present. Inc
frst-named gentleman spoke briefly In
advocating the petition, saying that
it was dangerous for these cars to
be run without some one on the rear as
we'll as on the front platform. He,said this
was especially sc in regard to little chill
dren. who are continually jumping on
grounds that the line had been ope-
rated this long without single person
having been hurt thereon, and that they
saw no reason why any one should appre-
hend danger in the future.
The committee referred the question to
the City Attorney. who is instructed TO
look into it and ascertain if that body has
a legal right to require the railway corpo-
ration to put the conductors on as desired.
Mr.. Meredith is requested to report his
views upon the matter at the next meeting
of the committee, on the 18th.
OTHER COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
The question of the appropriation OF
