NEVADA, says the Philadelphia Led,
ger, runs the risk of having her dele.
gates excluded from the Democratic
national convention. The foolish reso-
lutions passed by the state convention
absolving the nominees of the state
convention from all obligation to sup.
port the candidates of the national
convention, unless the latter are un,
equivocably in favor of free silver and
on free silver platform, furnishes
just ground for refusal by the ma
tional convention to recognize their
delegates as Democrats at all. The
sublime impudence of little pocket
state debating in such a peremptory
manner the policy and candidate of a
great national party, especially one
which is hopeless minority in the
state, did not seem to strike the mem
bers of the "silver Or split" conven,
tion.

"THE Reading Combine" is the
name applied to a combination formed
by the Reading Railroad and the an
thracite coal concerns and number
OF minor coal carrying roads of Penn
sylvania. The Reading syndicate is
an octopus whose tentacles are around
every community east of the Rocky
Mountains. 1t pays starvation wages
to its miners, demoralizes Legislators,
intimidates competing railroads, throt-
ties competition. 1t is law unto it.
self, and exists by ignoring the laws
made by a sovereign people. Whole
sale dealers in fuel are compelled to
sell anthracite coal at the prices fixed
by the combination. A refusal TO
comply means ruin to the offender, as
he can buy not an ounce of coal after
having been convicted of a violation
OF the combines rules CAicaqo

They Won't Tell, Though.

Mr.. Harrison is peering through the
doors ajar of the White House to catch
glimpse Of Thomas C. Platt, who
stopped at Washington on his way to
Tennessee and had quiet little talk

to know what those two gentlemen said
to each other, but he doesn't want that
fact made public. New York Herald.

ONE OF the many great iniustices
which this government carries on is
the business of printing the return
address of any person on stamped en-.
Velopes, and then selling them at the
rate OF the latter, charging nothing
for the work of printing. This can
be plofitably done, owing to the i'm,
mense number the government dis.
poses OF, but it is, nevertheless, an
outrage against which every printer
in the land should protest. 4 bill is
now before congress to repeal this
power of the postoffice department
and if it can overcome the violent Oh.
position of Wanamaker it will pass.
If the government intends competing
with private enterprises, why not en-.
ter the field on a broader scale? If
it is constitutional to do printing it is
also constitutional to open stores for
the sale of groceries, provisions, dry
goods, boots and shoes, etc. There
is not the slightest difference, and
Uncle Sam should either compete with
everybody or cease the work of run.

FIRST STORY,

are three good sized chambers, the sizes
of the front and middle rooms being in
creased by extending the middle chamber
over the veranda roof in form of an octa.
gon bay window, which breaks up the
large roof surface and gives u picturesque
effect to the exterior.
The front chamber also is extended over
the full width of the veranda and is light.
ed by one large windowin front and small
window on the side. 1t is true that these
rooms take in portion of the sloping roof
and cannot be called full story in height,
but by using good Judgment in paperng
and decorating them they may be made
handsome in appearance as well rs com.
Portable. There is no cellar under the house,
and the building stands upon cedar posts
set B #. 6 in. in the ground. The spaces
between the posts are fitted with panel
work or boarding to keep out the cold in
winter, and may be removed to allow free
circulation Of air in hot weather. The
roomsin the first story are heated by stoves,
which connect with fiues in the central
chimney. The rear and middle chambers
in the second story can likewise he heated
by stoves, which connect with flues in the
same chimney. There is no way of heating
the front chamber, but by filling in the ex
posed portion of the floor which extends
over the veranda with some nonconducting
substance and by using extra heavy sheath
ing paper on the sides of the building it
will be quite warm enough, especially for
a sleeping room.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

A broad veranda extends across the
front aud along the side of the reception
hall to the dining room. The reception
hall is utilized both as parlor and sitting
room. The windows in the side consist of
glazed doors, hinged in pairs, so that they
may be opened to the floor in hot weather
or in warm climate.
The front doors are also glazed, in order
to give an abundance of light. The stair.
case is designed with a seat upon the plat
form under the window above the landing,
which, with an ornameuted newell rail and
baluStrade, give very pretty effect to the
room. An archway separates this room
from the dining room, and is designed for
heavy curtains or portieres, although dou.
bile or sliding doors could be used if de.
sired.
The kitchen is provided with portable
range, which has reservoir for hot water
and cast iron sink supplied with cold
water only. A broad shelf on level with
the drip board of the sink extends the en-
tire length of the kitchen, with the space
beneath fitted up with shelves and in.
closed by doors. A portion of this space is
used as q pot closet the remainder for
stores, ETC., with space reserved behind
the kitchen door for a small refrigerator.
Above the broad shelf the space between
the kitchen sink and the rear wall is fitted
up with open shelves; the remainder, which
is used as china closet, is fitted up with
shelves and inclosed by glass doors. The
outside kitchen door is protected by pro.
jecting shingled hood. In the second story

Twelve Men Attempt to Cremate a Com
I. anion in Debauch.
PORTSMOUTH. o., March 22.-What
might have proved an awful murder
was narrowly averted near this city.
The affair occurred several days ago,
but strenuous cndeavors have been
made to keep it quiet. But for the in
reference Of a farmer, Frank Labor
would have suffered the awful fate of
being burned at a stake. Recently
Louis Hyde was married, and to prop
erly celebrate the event he ''set up" a
keg Of beer to the boys. There were
thirteen in the party, and they took the
beer to a spot outside the city, where
they began the frolic.
Before the spree was over some one
proposed to fight, and the idea was
taken up and carried out. Labor was
very drunk, but seemed to be the best
pugilist in the crowd, for be won sew
eral fights and declared his ability to
whip any man in the party. His com
panions voted him a dangerous man,
who ought to be put out of the way.
Labor was captured by the crowd.
and, after being bound, was sentenced
to death. Then the men rendered wild
with liquor and headed by Frank Dolby,
a son of the passenger and freight age;
of the Norfolk and Western road at
this place, proceeded to carry out the
sentence.
Labor was tied hand and foot and
tied to tree. Wood was piled about
his feet, and the match was applied.
Then the men hurried away, leaving La
Dor to his fate. Fortunately the wood
was green, and it burned slowly, OF the
man would not now be alive. While
the flames scorched his hands and feet,
Labor yelled with pain. His terrible ex-
perience sobered him, and he called
loudly for help.
A farmer CHANGED to drive along the
road in his wagon, and hearing the
mans screams, got out and released
him.
Labors clothing was burned, and his
feet and legs scorched, but as it is he
narrowly escaped an awful death.
All the parties concerned are well
known, but as yet no arrests have been
made,
