Poultry Manure.

When the droppings are frozen they
quickly deteriorate in value after they
begin to thaw. To save them keep dry
earth or sifted coal ashes under the
roost as an absorbent and also sprinkle
plaster over the dirt. The absorbe Mt
material should be cleaned away as
often as possible. and before putting
the droppings in a barrel mix them well
with the absorbent If you have a gar
den plot it will be no disadvantage to
spread the droppings on the ground,
especially after the ground has been
plowed or spaded, early in the season

The Split in New York Does Not Mean
Defeat

The Split in New York Does Not Mean
Defeat
The outline given in our New York
dispatches of democratic possibilities
does not purport to be authoritative,
but it accords so well with what is
known of Tammany and what the de-
mocracy of the country has the right
to expect of the national committee
that it is rather more than a shrewd
guess at way out of the New York
muddle. There is no doubt whatever
that the Hill convention was regular"
and that the delegates then chosen were
also regular" It is equally certain
that the proposed May cOnvertio will
be technically q convention of bolt
ers > and that the delegates then
chosen will have no prima facie right
to seats in the Chicago convention.
But it is also true that the protest

William s. Holman, of Indiana, who
is well known throughout the country
by his soubriquet of ''thc objector,' -
was formerly strong orator. AS the
years have gone by his utterances have
become thick and obscure. 1t is almost
impossible to hear him in the gallery.
Members upon the floor of the house
cannot understand him without gather
ing around within few feet of his
desk. He is a very earnest tallxer, how
ever. and his great reputation as a
statesman commands attention to his
speeches, even though they are not de-
liyered in an attractive manner.
Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, is
the most earnest and impassioned ora
tor on the democratic side of the house.
So energetic and earnest is he in deliv-
ering political speech upon the floor
of the house. that the veins upon his
neck swell out, his face becomes red
and the bald place on top of his dome
of thought becomes fairly crimson as he
shouts his defiant opinions TO the other
side of the house, with arm appraised
and fist clenched. To hear McMi11in
deliver a speech one would suppose that
before the next sentence is delivered he
would pull revolver. AS a matter of
fact he is one of the most warm-heart-
ed, lovable men in the house of repre-
sentatives, but an intensely earnest
partisan. His oratory is very much
like that of Col. Henderson, of Iowa
Thomas Bracket Reed, Of Maine, is
one of the very few men in the history
of the world who are strong enough,
brainy enough and learned enough to
be witty in their public speeches. Cen

HAZEL AND FILBERT.

How to Cultivate Two Very Profitable

The only special care the hazel nut

nuts are borne. There are a large

noticing it stopped the music, whis-
pered to the musicians, waved his
baton and in an instant the strains of

Years More Of Grover" were adapted,
rang out. The audience cheered

DRESSING ON $50 A YEAR.

New Yo:k World.
Providence has club of working
girls which, like New York Sorosis,
has undertaken to settle by grave dis.
cussion all problems relating TO the
material welfare of the better halt OF
creation. Its latest discussion related
to the possibility of a woman dressing
on $50 a year.
Only one of the fair debaters ven
tured to declare that the feat could be
accomplished. She knew, che said, be
cause che had tried and succeeded.
She expended her $50 as follows:
Four hats, $40; gloves, 81 so; shoes.
So; winter coat. $40; making over
dresses, S. /; new blue Henrietta, S11 !;
underwear, laces, ETC., $3.50; total
$50.
1t would be rude to draw differences
from the fact that $40 was spent on
hats and only 81 so on underwear,
laces, etc." Men cannot understand
the dear women anyway, and besid. 8
the economies were probably prac-
ticed on the "etc."
1t is somewhat Of q ply that the
name of the young woman who has
set such an example to her sisters
is not disclosed. She explains that
she dressed herself on $50 . year be.
cause she had to. Were her name
made public the necessity would exist
no longer than the time requisite for
q multitude of industrious young bach
elors to make suitable proposals.
But this supposition gives rise to
another interesting speculation regard.

sufficient to keep her in cloth.
ing and "etc." after she had
changed her name. 1t is fair infer
ence to draw from the discussion that
the members OF the PROVENCE working
girls club are unmarried. If they
were wives the question would have
been:
Is it possible to dress within your
husbands incomes
That is a question debated daily in
many household. 1t is usually de-
cided with good resolves intermingled
with tears at the end of the year.

HARRISON DESPERATE.
He will Go to New York to Beg
Plat to Forget the Past.

New York, August 3.-President
Harrison is coming TO New York to
make q personal effort to placste Boss
Platt. He is expected here the day
after congress adjourns. and the fret
meeting OF the execu i've committee
of the republican national committee
will be held under his personal super
vision. This decision was reached, it
is said, after Chairman Carter report
ed to the president on Saturday that
all bic efforts had filled to make any
impression on NJ. Plat. and that be
vas utterly sick of trying to reconcile
him.
The Harrison campaign in New
York is GER ainly in dilapidated coll.
dition. In fact, it is no campaign al
all. Platt controls the Republican
machine, he refuses to hand it over to
the President and his committee until
he has been assured of some materisl
reward. He wants to be the chief dis.
tributor of the campaign funds 10
New York and receive full rec ignition
as the leader o. the Republican cohorts
in the State. This M. Harrison has
as yet refused t. give him.
Chairman Carter came here yes.er-
day. He ignored Mr.. Plat and went
to headquarters where he secreted
himself until late tonight. He is said
to have brought messages from the
President to spme of Mr.. Platt's lieut..
entant., offering them great induce.
ments to desert their leader and take
up his cause Independent Of Plat
These leaders turned q deaf ear on
Chairman Carter and Immediately
wired the President that they had
done 80. 1t was later announced that
the President would come TO New
York himself and make an effort to
get the campaign under way.
