EMPEROR BACKS DOWN.
Obiectfou Educational Measure is
WithdraMn.


Berlin, March 28.-1efore the regu-
lar business Of the day was considered
in the Lower House of the PrIssian
Diet, to-day, Count Won Eulenburg. the
Eew3y-appoi president Of the Prus-
sian Coancll, made statement IL which
he justified the separation of the impe-
rial chanceliorship from the presidency
Of the Prussian ministry. He pointed
out that the burden of work
involved BY the union of the two posts
was beyond the powers of one man.
Continuing Count Won Eulenburg said
that in view of the fact that the discus
sion of the primary education bill had
created serious and hitherto unrec-
onciled differences in the Diet,
and in committee and also in the
country at large, and as no satisfactory
result could be expected at present,
the government refrained from insisting
upon the further consideration of the
bill. But, he added, the government
reserved to itself the right to decide
when and in what form the matter would
again be taken up without overstepplng
the limits Of the constitution.
Count Won Eulenburg's statement was
received with mingled cheers and
Kisses by the members. Nearly all the
ministers with the exception of Chan
cellor Won Caprivi were present. Chan
ceilor Won Capnivi, III replying to a
question IN relation to the governments
Intention in regard to the bill, said in
the Reichstag on Saturday that it had
been found impossible t carry out the
policy Of the barter implied in the
declarations of Prince Bismarck. and
that it would be SHINING against the
German Empire to purchase benefits
for 1t at the expense of Prussia.
It is said that the Reichstag will be
indefinitely prorogued this week. The
Landtag will also be prorogued. nomin-
ally to the end of October, but it will
not meet again for business until new
House is elected. 1t is thought that in
the meantime Count Won Eulenburg
will form some sort of a coalition of the
parties that will enable the primary ed
ucation bill to be again presented with
more certainty of its success.
After informing the Lower House of
the Diet as to the withdrawal of the
primary education bill, Count Won Eu-
lenberg went 10 the chamber of the
Upper House, where he made similar
statement

BOMB FOR THE PROSECUTOR.
Residence of Public Official in Paris
Blown Up.

PARIS. March Yesterday morning
a dynamite explosion occurred at IS
Rue Clichv, a structure of four stories
with shop in the basement In the
house resided NJ. Cichy, one Of the
prosecuting counsel in the recent An.

broke out IN the debris and rescued
some Of the inmates. Seven persons
were seriously injured. Internal ma
chimes had apparently been deposited
at door on the second floor, which was
occupied by VI. Bulloz.
The author of these dynamite ex-
blossoms is said to be man named
Ravachol. Several of his alleged ac-
completes have been arrested, but the

The interview was presumably
obtained under a pledge not to reveal
the whereabouts of the Anarchist leader
TO the police. Ravachol declared that
the object of the Anarchists was to ter
rorize the judicial authorities, and to so
work upon their fears as to prevent
them from condemning the members OF
the party who fell into the clutches OF
the law. He said that the Anarchists
had IN their possession sufficient quan-

WALT WHITMAN DEAD.

Long Sleep.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 26.-Calmly
and peacefully, like child asleep. Walt
Whitman passed away this evening.
He had been weaker than usual for
some days past, but for some reason
the knowledge of his condition did
not become public property. He had a
sinking spell last night but recovered
somewhat. Again at 4:30 this afternoon
he began to sing. A messenger was
hurriedly sent for his physician, DR..
Alex. McAllister, who reached the dy-
ing mans bedside short while alter
ward. The doctor found the aged poet
in dying condition, and so informed
those around his bedside. He asked
the patient if he suffered any pain, and
the whispered answer was ''No."
Twenty minutes before his death he
said to his attendant, "Wary, shift. y
They were his last words. His breath
ing became fainter and fainter, and at
exactly s :43 P. NJ. he passed away.

New York, March 27.-Inspector
Byrnes to-day arrested five men said to
have been implicated in the boldest
robbery that has occurred IN this city
since the footing of Manhattan Bank
by Jimmy Hope and his gang. Last
Sunday morning the store of John

diamond. Through the hole thus made
they entered the store and departed
with their epoils. Nothing was left in
the place but the shelves and the show
cases. 1t must have taken wagon to
carry off the property. They replaced
the shutters and went away. The po-

A Mine Near the 1Iollie Gibson tanning
out Riches.
ASPEN, Col, March 2S.-A large body
of very high grade mineral has been
recently discovered in the workings OF
the Areentum Juniata Mining Com
pauy. Some Of the ore is native silver,
asSaying as much as 10000 ounces tc
the ton. 4 diamond drill was run in
800 feet toward the Mollie Gibson, and
the drill core 81 owed high grade miner
al the whole way, and the sstock has
jumped from S1.15 10 $l.65 in two days.
Just as in the case of the Noble Gibson,
fOurt eel months ago, a strong attempt
has been made TO suppress this inform
alton, but It Is impossibl TO do SO here
any longer as the men working in the
mine commenced buying the stock, and
hypOthecatlng 1t to buy more.
The officers Of the company, when
asked about the matter, admit that q
very large body ofl0W-grade ore has been
struck, but as they reside at Colorado
Springs, they claim they have not seen
1t, and are writing for further reports.
There has not been SO much excitement
over any strike in this camp since the
Mollle Gibson stock went from 10 cents
TO - little over year ago. In regard
to the latter the stock has been going
down during the last days until it has
reached the price of $3.50. This is oW-
ing to the fact that for the last TWO
weeks this company has stopped ship
lng ore IN order to widen the shaft to
double lts hosting capacity and also to
sink the shaft much deeper, but there
is much more rich ore III sight in the
Mollie Gibson to-day than In any other
mine in America

Sept. 20 Secretary Rusk, of the de-
partment of agriculture, issued proc
lamation removing the only guarantees
existing for the suppression Of pleuro-
pneumonia among cattle, and with their
removal he announced that ''the United
States is free from the disease known
as contagious pleuro-pneumonia." He
states that no case of the disease has &C.
Cured in Illinois since Dec. 20, 1887; no
case in Pennsylvania since Sept. 30, 1888;
none in Maryland since Sept. 10, 1889;
none in New York since April 80, 1891,
and none in New Jersey since March %,
1892. No case has occurred in any other
part of the Union within the past five
years. The centers of infection have
been around New York city, Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and these have had
the special attention of the department
since the suppression of the outbreak in
the west. Six months have elapsed since
the last case occurred in New Jersey.
We are assured also that the seaboard
and frontier inspection and all necessary
cattle quarantine will be strictly en-
forced, and as there is no possibility of
the occurrence of the disease except by
its introduction from abroad, the coun-
try may congratulate itself upon the re-
moval of all apprehension for its cattle
interests on this account.

AS unnecessary as it is revolving to

Storing Sauashes.

There is a growing demand for squashes
that keep well into spring. Success
full specialists who make money out of
winter squashes have houses with double
doors and windows to prevent change of
temperature They are filled with Stat
ted shelves, allowing free air circulation
about the fruit. Perfect dryness and
frequent inspection to govern tempera-
ture and remove squashes that begin to
decay are requisites. If three tons per
acre can be kept until glutted market
subsidies and three cents per pound can
be realized sometimes higher price
prevails) $3.50 results-not bad profit
considering how little real labor and ex-
pense are needed in the production,
writes New York correspondent in The
New England Homestead. He says:
Squashes with hard shells have been
kept successfully until the following
summer in my cellar with cement bot
tom, glass windows and warm air fur
mace. They lay on the bottom and were
turned occasionally. Only very small
per cent. of the quantity spoiled after
the first month of storage, fact at
tributed largely to drying and harden
ing of their outer cover. The stems
were left attached to the squashes.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1892-10-21

Chief Justice Paxson, of Pennsylva-
mia, in his charge to the grand Jury in
the case of the Homestead rioters, de-
fined clearly what constitutes treason
against state of the Union, not against
the United States. He began first by
declaring that the Homestead strikers
were guilty of unlawful violence when
they refused to permit the men to land
whom the Carnegie company had hired
to protect their property. sit cannot be
tolerated for moment that one laborer
shall say to another laborer, You shall
not work for this man for that wage
without my CONSENT and then enforce
such command by brutal violence upon
his person." Following is the definition
of what treason against state is:
"When large number of men arm and
organize themselves by divisions and
companies, appoint officers and engage
in common purpose to defy the law, to
resist its officers and to deprive any por-
ton of their fellow citizens of the rights
to which they are entitled under the
constitution and laws, it is levying of
war against the state, and the offense IS
treason 3"

/ Among passing notes on poultry topics
The Fancier's Journal gives expression
to the following:
To judge by the amount of capon lit
erature now occupying many agricul-
tural and poultry papers, the unsophisti-
Gated reader would suppose that capons
are veritable bonanza. Such is not the
case. Years ago the broiler business
was doomed as the haven for every de-
crepit person who was seeking a fortune.
The boom exploded and the wrecks are
strewn everywhere. This was to be ex-
pected by all except the victims. The
capon is now being trotted over the cir
cult with the usual tempting bait, and
the usual nibblers will take hold.
There is handsome profit in broilers
and capons, but considerable experience
is required in both branch ) before the
balance is on the right side of the ledg-
er. The chief danger lies in the fact
that the inexperienced people will make
"a speciality of either to the exclusion of
the regular bread winning poultry cul-
ture. Before persons attempt to raise
capons they should be qualified to raise
common poultry successfully. To fat
ten and prepare cockerels for market is
an art, and when once possessed will re-
alize good returns. If capons are more
profitable than other poultry we have
failed to discover it, but shrewd poul-
try raiser will always keep several irons

eapon form successful trio in the mar

The Military Dra,i.

At parade In which some regiments
of the national guard had place a num-
Der of cadets from West Point joined
the procession and brought up the rear.
If the militia boys had been wise they
would never have permitted the West
Point boys to appear with them, for the
contrast was not fattering to the home
drilled soldier BY comparison with the
cadets the militia looked round Shout
dered, loose jointed and stumbling in
their gait. Their knee joints bent and
tumbled about awkwardly; they did not
even walk erect, On the other hand,
the slim, 1.-THE cadets, straight US ar
rows, stepping out from the hip joint,
advancing with firm, even tread, excited
universal admiration.
Yet naturally the militia boys were
just as graceful, good looking and gen.
tlemanly as any of the West Point
youths. Before the cadets had been
licked into shape by constant drill and
athletic exercises they We're fully as
stumbling and stoop shouldered as the
national guard boys. The whole differ
ence was in the attention to military
drill. A famous English actress, noted
for grace and dignity of bodily move
ment, tells us in her autobiography that
in her childhood she lived in garrison
town. Her mother was determined on
making the daughter graceful and erect,
and therefore the drillmaster from the
garrison was employed to come and give
the girl regular lessons. For several years
exactly the same drill exercises employed
with the soldiers were practiced by the
young lady, and to the day of her death
she maintained that all girls should be
trained by military drill as they grow to
womanhood.
1t is of course not possible for young
men who work on farms and in offices
daily to spend the time that West Point
cadets do in drill, but it is possible for
them to do much better than they do at
it. For their own credit and good looks
they ought to take themselves seriously
in hand.

A Columbus Shirt Collar.

1t is good time to immortalize the
Columbus year by adopting some new
fashion in dress suggestive of Chris
topher when he raised his eyes to heaven,
a cross in one hand, the Spanish flag en-
circled by the other, and took possession
of the New World in the name of their
majesties Ferdinand and Isabella. The
possession did not stay put, but that
does not signify now.
1t will be observed in most of the por-
traits of the discoverer that he wears a
low necked collar. A loose, soft snow
white garment of fine material is simply
gathered into band at the base of the
neck, leaving the massive head room to
draw from the heart all the blood needed
to nourish it. Why should not men
adopt the Columbus neckwear? A firm
neck rising like column from the body
is a feature Of manly beauty unsurpassed.
The picturesque and imposing appear
ance of the great discoverer is added to
not little by the fact that his collar
ceases where the modern one begins. Of
course we do not refer here to the por-
trait in which he is represented with the
stiff and heavy neck ruff.
A handsome neck is far more agree
able to the eye than the stiffest, whitest
collar ever starched by Chinese laun-
dryman. Besides, when the throat is
thus open to the air and sun the man is
not nearly so apt to take cold or suffer
from bronchitis. Who will start the
fashion of the Columbus collar? If some
man with G handsome neck will do SO it
will be go, and the scraggy necked fell
lows will be the first to follow it. With
the freer circulation Of blood, which the
Columbus collar would permit, more
over, many scraggy neck would dis
appear.
