connect the great lakes the vessel can
be steered from the top OF this windlass

steam steering gear. This Is a most
valuable Improvement.
The upper works aft consist OF
SQUARE steel house. which incloses coal

age and dining room and tiremen's and
deck hands quarters. Above these
are the pilot house and cabin.
The advantages OF the Monitor type

While this Is a smaller margin than Is
claimed for the whaleback, it is COM

Multipllcations That Lead to Several

Philadelphia Press: Some person of
a mathematical turn OF mind has dis
covered that the multiplication Of
9S7654391 (which you will observe are
simply the figures to 9, inclusive, re-
versed) by As gives 4,444, 444,4 AS. Re-
versing the order of the digits and null
tiplving 1234567s9 by As we get a result
equally curious, viz, 5,555, 555, sos, II
we take 1234567S9 as the multiplicand
and iuterchanging the figures in 45, so
as to make them read 81, use the last
number as q multipier, and the result
will be 6,666, CSC, Cos.
Returning TO the mulliplicand 9S7,-
654, 32l, and taking "a as the multi
plier again, the result will be SO, 333,-
333, 334-all IS except the first and the
last figures, which together read 81, the
multiplier. Taking the same multipli-
cand and Of, the half of 81, as the null
tiplier, the product Is 90, 666, 66G, 667, all
6s except the first and last figures, which
together read 27-the multiplier. Now,
interchanging the order OF the figures
81 and using 20 instead as multiplier,
and 9s765432l as the multiplicand, we
get as, a product 71,111,11l,112, all Is
except the first and last figures, which

CLEVELAND, o., August 4.-The first

promises to be as notable in its way a.
the McDougal whaleback, has been
launched at this port. The Monitor, as
lake men have dubbed It, is the special
design OF Captain II. d. Collinberry, the
president OF the company. 1t is a COM

barge OF the lakes and the whaleback.
The vessel is entirely of steel. Below

FOR WHIST PLAYERS.
Fault Finding Where There Is No sys-
TEN,
CHICAGO liter OCEAN.

Chicago LITER ocean.
In American whist the great scheme
for trick-making is so far-reaching that
it embraces even the peculiar charaC-
teriStics OF the players. Every one who
has played whist at all has observed
how uncOnsciouSly they are led into
fruitleSs criticisms, and how frequently
their own plays are misinterpreted.
Even though guided by some system,
idiosyncracies Of individual play will in
terfere more or less with the smooth
ness OF the game. The fault-fnding
becomes ludicrOuS indeed when no sys-
tenn Of play is understood.
The table is formed by referring for
information 20 the only one OF the
four who understood that the game
has scientific pretensiOns, and who, be-
ing familiar with the rules and laws of
American whist, could direct the play.
The FIRST exclamation was something
like this; "Whst are you going to do
with two packs of Cards?" With an al
most impereeptlble ring OF disappOint-
ment in her CHEEKY voice, the explana-
ton was given that two packs saved
time aud also the confusion of the deals.
I may as we'll tell you right now, this
scientific player was lady distinguish
ed for her rare whist qualities. For
convenience we will call this player A,
and her partner b happened to be the
one who had never sused two packs
OF cards. The spread was made for the
decision Of dealer, an ace was drawn by
A, who dealt, and the next remark was
contributed by G, who was In disgust
with her luck In not getting the first

ed from that city yesterday that the
United States Government would not

treatment accorded the Thirteenth
Band recently by Detroit musicians aud

generally, have caused cancellation OF
the contract. The Thirteenth Band left
here yesterday for Chicago TO fulfill an
engagement, and it IS feared they will
be stopped at Port Huron, but no word
of interference has yet reached here.

A Pair Of Them.

An attorney of this town was telling us
the other day of his disappointment the
first time helmet Senator Don Cameron.
He, Of course, expected to meet RESPONSE
BILE looking man, but was introduced to
one who in his opinion would have made
good waiter in fancy restaurant. The
biggest thing about Don is his mustache,
and there seems to be enough money be-
hind it to keep it in the United States Sem
ate.
But if our friend was disappointed in
Cameron's personal appearance, he ought
to see Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
Cameron is beauty compared to him.
Quay is a small man, not overly stout,
with big red face, and small round
head, and there is no more expression in
that face than there is in section of brick
wall. Many of our readers will remember
little Joe Kohnfelder, who used to keep
hotel at Saxonburg-well, take Joe. and
make his face little bigger and redder,
and make his left eye droop, and then set
him alongside Of Quay, and you couldn't
tell which from t'other.

Plain Words are Best.
Towanda Reporter-J Journal.

Towanda Reporter-J Journal.
The Reporter-JownaI is opposed to tht
reelection OF Senator Quay, and for these
reasons:
He has on several occasions misrepre
sented the State, and he misrepresents i
now by his hostility to the Administrations
of President Harrison. He is comparative
ly useless as an advocate of the interests
of the State, and is incapable of debate
And, most important of all, he has been
accused of grave crimes and has not met
the accusation in the way in which an hon
est man should have met it.
These reasons might be elaborated, but
elaboration is not necessary. They cover
the case. And these reasons are sufficient
to determine the attitude of the Reporter
Journal, as they should be sufficient to de.
te mine the attitude of its readers. The
great State of Pennsylvania should be rep
resented in the Senate by man who i
not silent when the interests of the Com
monyealth are at stake. who fairly and
honorably represents the State. aud whose
character is above suspicion. Eone o
these requirements is met by Senator
Quay.

Joke on the Judge.

Here's q little bit of fun at the expense
of our highest county official that has the
virtue of being strictly true. No doubt
the victim will enjoy seeing it in print as
we'll as our readers.
Hon. Aaron l.. Hazen. one Of the judges
of our county court, met sturdy farmer
friend from Mahoning township; after ex-
changing formal greetings, the Judge in
timated that he desired to speak to the
gentleman in private.
That's all right, Judge" said the citi-
zen from Aahoning township, "but want
to speak TO you, too, and as my object is
quite different from yours, suppose you let
me talk first" The Judge gracefully sub
mitted to the request for An audience. and
then was informed that something like
three Thousand dollars was being raised by
the Baptists for 9 new church at Hills
vile, and handsome subscription from
his honor would be duly appreciated.
Thus the Judge was cornered; to decline
would have spoiled his own game, SO he
promptly handed over . v, and proceeded
TO pump the farmer in regard to the con-
dition Of fences out bis way.

THE Philadelphia Times in commenting
upon the action of the attorneys for the
prosecution in the late libel suits says
The right of prosecuting officer of the
county to stand aside jurors indefinitely,
even in the trial misdemeanor, is not
questioned, as it has been declared legal by
the highest judicial authority of the State;
but it is so violent departure from the or
binary course of fjustice in our courts that
1t is regarded as justiiable only under the
most extreme necessity. In this city it ID
very uncommon for the District Attorny to
exercise this prerogative, and it is matter
of the gravest doubt whether the old COM
mon law rule permitting it should not be
supplanted by statute, permitting the
power to be exercised only upon specific
cause shown and the approving Judgment OF
the court.
This old common law rule reverses the
whole theory of our neutrality-suspicious.
Instead ofprotecting defendants in criminal
cases until they are clearly proven guilty,
it places within the power of a prosecutor
the absolute right to pack jury whose re-
ligious, political, business or social preju-
dices or partialities may render verdict
in disregard of the evidence. 1t is certainly
most dangerous power. and should be
either absolutely repealed, or its exercise
narrowed to the discretion of the court
upon the presentation of specific cause.
