VETERINARY SCIENCE.
Forward Strides Made I'm the Course of q
Quarter of "a Century.


Among the most encouraging signs
of the times, in relation to our domestic
animals, are the strides which have
been made forward in veterinary sci
ence. Fifty years ago it would have
been misnomer to have applied the
word science to the work of the veteri-
narians One has only to look over the
text books written during those days
and before to thoroughly realize this,
and older readers can recall to memory
enough of the treatment of the older
so-called veterinarians to understand,
by contrasting it with the work to-day,
the progress that has been made.
There are, here and there about the
country, survivals of the old barbarian
type, who doctor" a COW for hollow
horn or ''wolf-in-the-tail," and whose
methods are as cruel to-day as those of
old. 1t is pleasant to reflect that such
types are growing scarce year by year,
and that our domestic animals escape
much of the well-intended cruelty of
these antiquated bunglers.
We can well remember when the
owner of horses which had been
worked pretty hard during the winter,
had them all bled on general principles,
before turning them out for rest in
the pastures. We have seen the black
smith in the country towns burning out
''lampas'' from horses mouth with a
hot iron, while the poor animal writhed
under the worse than useless torture.
But these absurdities and barbarities
are happily at an end, and more intelli-
gent methods prevail. Heroic doses of
drugs are less common and wiser and
more humane method is coming into
vogue. 1t is always the wiser plan to
lean to the small dose in dealing with
domestic animals. Rural New Yorker.

Equal to the Emergency.

A youngster, having been presented
by his uncle with a new suit OF clothes,
became, for the first time in his life,
strongly interested in his personal APP
pearance, and insisted upon having a
collar put on and having his hair
combed. Taking the comb to his uncle,
he requested him to comb his hair.

Ihave 1t that the State Democracy Will in
dorse the Republican nomination of
Charles Andrews for judge of the Court of

Herald. ''The Cleveland men are much

prevent conviction after election. With
no contest in the State, if Cleveland is
beaten there would be no way of telling

ran ahead of Cleveland IT would be evident t
that there had been treachery. 1t is the
fear of Hill and the shrewdness of his move
in working to have Andrews indorsed that
makes the Cleveland men excited over the
reported deal. They want u Democratic
nomination for Judge made so as TO hold
tabs on Hill, and they swear they will
break the deal. These men seem to me
to be unnecessarily alarmed. There is no
evidence that Hill will play Cleveland
false. The Senator does not like the nomina.

He then spoke on the fiscal policy of the

Plan to Steal the Electoral Vote of Penn
syIvania UnwittingIy Revealed.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. GA. Neyines
Pomeroy, editor of the Cham bersburg Re-
pository, tonight made affidavit before a
notary public that the Democrat
10 party will endeavor to cast
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania
for Cleveland by withholding the bal
lots from Republican counties until too late
to be printed for election day. Mr.. Pome-
roy in his affidavit alleges that the scheme
was unfolded TO him by State Superintend-
ent of Printing Grier, through mistak-
ing him one night on the street
ct Harrisburg for Democratic clerk.
Republican State Chairman Reeder, upon
being informed by Mr.. Pomeroy of his al
legged discovery of the scheme of the DEM
ocrats to steal the States electoral vote,
to-day telegraphed Governor Pattison,
asking him if the form of the ballot should
not be reduced.
Governor Pattison tonight received the
following telegram from the Pottsville
Evening Chronicles:
II is possible to call an extra session of the
Legislature to repeal the Baker ball OF law.
Sentiment here in favor of repeal, as il was
feared many counties cannot be- supplied with
ballots
The Governor sent the following answer:
There Is no occasion for an extra session of the
Legislature. The Baker ballot law passed by a
very large majority in both branches of the
Legislature. II was enacted in obedience to a
very decided public sentiment The
press, almost without exception. approved
of it. LIZ earnest efforts were
made to enforce IL there is a
disposition to find fault with IL there could be
no trouble In its execution. Ballot reform in

DEED OF HOMESTEAD DASTARDS.
Dynamite Exploded in House Where Forty
Non-Union Men We're Asleep.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Oct. IA dastardly at
tempt was made last night to murder, in
their beds, about forty non-union men.
Dynamite was the agency resorted to, and
that it failed was due 70 the force of the
explosion being expended downward. The
explosion was SO severe that it was felt in
camp, and the front part of the Mansion
House was wrecked. Mrs. Marion keeps q
boarding establishment frequented by
non-union men, which is located at the
corner of AmIty street and Fifth avenue.
1t belongs to the Coke estate, and
is known as the Mansion House.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning,
when the mill-workers were all asleep. they
were suddenly awakened by an explosion,
which overturned their beds, scattered
furniture around the rooms and broke
windows and crockery ware. They were
all shocked and greatly frightened. fearing
they had been attacked and were going to
bo killed. The house was filled with dust
from plaster, and the peculiar odor of the
explosive conveyed the impression that the
house was on fire. For minute the men
huddled IN their rooms and then rushed
tho sltting-room and found they could
walk into the street. The front of the
room had'been blown out. One man STUN
bled and nearly broke his leg. lie had
fallen into q huge hole in the floor. It was
where q dynamite cartridge had fallen and
exploded.
The street was deserted at the time, bnt
the ex plosion aroused people for squares
around, and they soon fl0cked TO the scene.
The deputy sheritis were soon there and se-
cured whatever evidence they could. It
appears that window in front had been
broken. and through this the stick of dy ma
mite was thrown. There are four large
Window glasses in the front, as the room
was once used for q store. Those panes
were shattered into fragments. the door
was broken, several chairs battered, and
the room was a'complete wreck. Had some
explosive whose force in upward instead of
downward been used. it is probable that all
of the inmates of the house would have
been killed. As 1t is. the mill workers are
terroriZcd. ana the company will have to
put watobmen in the boarding houses be-
fore they will 60 back again.

The strikers advisory committee issued q
statement this evening condemning the
dastardly act and offering s100 for the ar
rest and conviction of the perpetrators.
The statement says that such actions are
not sanctioned by the committee and they
don't believe that any of the men are
guilty. In the opinion of the committee
the DIV Mantle was thrown by some one TO
whose interest it is to keep the troops and
deputy sheriffs here.
