DENIAL BY THE CRAMPS.
Say They Have Not Signed Contracts

Say They Have Not Signed Contracts to
Build Three New Steamships.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.-The Cramps
deny that they have signed contracts
with the Inman Company for three new
transatlantic steamships. Nothing will
be done in this respect until the return in
a few days of President Griscom of the
steamship company, who is now on his
way home from Europe.
Mr.. Dallett, of Boulton, Bliss & Dallett,
the owners of the Red d line of New York ,
said to-day:
1.-THE contracts are signed. 1 saw
Charles Cramp a few days ago and he told
me that they had the drawings and speci-
fications. The bill calls for two ships OF
II 900 tons each, but I understand that
three vessels each of II 900 tons are con-
tracted for. This will give Americans q
chance to show what they can do in build
ing ships.
81 remarked to Mr.. Cramp that the
firm should build a ship, not only the
peer of the Paris or New York, but ont
that would far exceed either, and HI
agreed with me-"

CONSISTENCY is a jewel. The West
Virginia republican convention, in its
platform and declaration of principles,
congratulated the voters of that war
born state upon the fact that there will
be no federal supervision of elections
there this fall; and then the convention
proceeded to indorse the Harrison ad-
ministration, which by all its acts, no
less than by the direct declaration of
Benjamin Harrison himself, is fully
committed to the paternity of the in
famous force bill, which was designed
to place the elections in every southern
state under the direct control of the re-
publican federal government.

SEVERAL months ago an Indian named
O-we-o, of the Unatilla reservation in
Oregon, was killed by railroad train.
Some time previous to his death he had
borrowed twenty dollars from bank
in Pendleton, giving his note secured
by the name of another Indian, She-wa-
wa. O-we-o's wife, Lucy, skinned dead
sheep found on the ranges during the
winter and spring, and hustled hard in
other ways until she had scraped to-
gether about twenty-five dollars. A
few days ago she went to the bank and
paid her husbands note, and also iu-
sisted on paying the interest to the
astounded cashier. The bank refused
to accept the interest.

Prosecuted Further.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 10. -Ex-Presi-
dent James B. Faulkner, of the First Ma
tional Bank of Dansville, the story of
whose pardon and subsequent re-arrest
has been told in these dispatches, will
not be prosecuted further.
District-Attorney Reed, of Livingston
county, telegraphed Sheriff Beck late on
Monday not to execute the warrant
previously sent him, but to wait for his
letter. The telegram came too late, how
ever, as the arrest had been made.
In his letter, which has just reached
here, Mr.. Reed explained that as Faulk-
ner had already been in the penitentiary
one and half years there was DISPOSE
tion to let matters against him ease up.
Since he had been pardoned by the Presi-
dent it was felt best to let the other
charges drop.
Faulkner has been released from jail.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON Jan IL 1892


During our stay at Hankow we visited
a duck farm. The process of keeping
the ducks is very simple. A large
wooden shed stands neal the edge of the
river, where the owner of the farm or
al employee spends the night with his
feathered friends. There must have
been several thousands of ducks in the
farm we visited. Before sunrise the
door of the shed was opened, and out
run the ducks, scrambling one over the
other into the river, where they spend
the day feeding.
As o as sunset approaches, from all
parts of the river they come, for they
wander far among the rushes and islands
during the day, and there is still more
hurry and scurry to get into the shed
thar there was to get out at dawn. The
reason is simple. Immovable by the
door sits the Chinaman, a long cane in
his hand, and woe betide the last duck
to enter, for down on its back comes the
long bamboo with a pain inf1icting thud.
In this way punctuality is insured among
the ducks.
Children could hardly have learned
their lesson better than the ducks

TO.NIGHT'S SHOW.
CIeveIand's EIneI Tower of MinstreIsy
at the opera House Tonight.

Tonight w. s. Cleveland will bring
his new organization OF black faced talent
to this city, what he calls THE Elfel
tower of minstrelsy." The company has
been well received throughout the East
during the present season. The Louis
vile Courier-JourRdl says of the show:
The Temple theater was packed to its
utmost capacity last night and the stand
ing room only sign vas hung out long be-
fore the curtain went up. 1t was a fash
lonable audience too, which is a proof
that refined minstrelsy still retains its hold
on the better class of theater goers as
we'll as upon the gallery gods. 10 his
present venture Mr.. Cleveland has re-
turned to old fashioned minstrelsy, and
the audience manifested its approval OF
the revival by giving each feature OF the
programme an enthusiastic reception.
All of the jokes are new and good, and
the songs are light and pretty. Every
feature of the performance Is said to be
new and original and the fun makers are
young, talented and enthusiastic in then
work. The show is worthy of success.

an hour the prince and the poet tried to

Uncle Will, the good natured bachelor
of the family, was left in charge of the
baby one day while every one else was
out, and out of curiosity he made a list
of what the baby did in one hour. Here
it is:
Yelled fifteen minutes without taking
breath. uncle Will declares solemnly
that this is a true statement.)
Pulled out enough hair from his uncle's
head and whiskers to stuff a sofa pillow.
Crooked the wall paper as high as he
could reach with the poker.
Broke a s~tereoscope by sitting down
on it.
Swallowed six buttons and a good
part of a spool of thread.
Emptied the contents of his mothers
workbasket down the furnace register.
Tried to squeeze the head of the cat
into a tin cup, and was scratched badly
in the attempt.
Knocked the head off of a fine wax
doll belonging to his older sister by try
ing to drive a tack into a toy wagon
with it.
Fell off the edge of the whatnot and
brought down with him two costly vases
which were ruined.
Broke two panes of window glass with
a cant which uncle let him have.
Fell into the coalhod and spoiled his
new white dress.
Set fire to the carpet while uncle was
out of the room hunting up something to
amuse him.
Crawled under the bed and refused to
come out unless uncle would give him
the molasses jug.
Got twisted into the rungs of a chair
which had to be broken to get him out.
Poured a pitcher of water into his
mothers best shoes.
Finally, when he saw his mother COM
ing, he ran out to the porch and tumbled
off the steps, making his nose bleed and
tearing a hole a foot square in his dress.
And yet Uncle Will thinks that boy
will make something yet.-Youth's Com

By order of the war department, the
post traders at Fort Robinson and
Niobrara, Neb., will be deprived of their
commissions on April l, 1892, and re.
quired to close up their places of business.
This is in accordance with the policy OF
Gen. Kelton, adjutant general, to transfer
to the army any profits which may result
from the privilege of trading on govern
ment reservations and to distribute the
money thus obtained among the troops
for the benefit OF the enlisted men. The
establishment of the army canteen was
the first step IN this direction.

When the earth was young, says DR..
Ball, astronomer royal for Ireland, it
spun around at such a rate that the day
was only three hours long. The earth
was liquid then, and as it revolved at
that fearful speed the u caused ever
increasing tides upon its surface until
at last it burst in two. The smaller
part became the moon, which has been
going around the earth aver since at an
increasing distance. The influence of
the moon now raises tides on the earth,
and while there was any liquid to
operate on in the moon the earth
heaped up much greater lunar tides
