Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-11-13

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND Is said to be busily engaged upon his message, which will be laid before congress on it's conven- ing in regular session on the first Monday of December next. There are several i'm portant matters of state to be treated, in- cluding the Hawaiian situation, the rebel lion in Brazil and the question of the de- portation of the Chinese. The democratic party being pledged to revise the tariff, the subject of a new revenue bill will necessarily be discussed, and keen interest awaits the presidents recommendation in this particular, although little fear need be entertained that he will omit to counsel the preservation of existing industries in the framing of a new schedule. The pub lie is also desirous of knowing the presi- dents opinion of the proposed income tax and the repeal of the tax on the issues of state banks, as we'll as what immediate action is desirable respecting the inter- national monetary conference and the mat ter of coinage. Should he discuss all of these subjects, his paper cannot fail to be of unusual importance.

IN his annual report Third Assistant Postmaster General Craigue states that letter sheet envelopes introduced into pos tai use in 1887 have not proved success, the number used having constantly de creased, and, therefore, the question is raised as to whether their issue and sale ought not to be discontinued. The issue of three sizes of postal cards has also proved unsatisfactory, and since the close of the fiscal year the contract has been entered into the manufacture of one size only, called the international size, being Sk by 5k inches. The reply postal cards have not come up to expectations, but they will continue to be used. The Columbian postage stamps have also proven unsatis- factory so far as the revenue from their sale is concerned. The issue of them at first was very large, but as soon as the novelty of the stamp had worn away the demand rapidly fell of, the public evi- dently preferring the smaller stamp. The estimate of Postmaster General Wana- maker when he made the contract for their issue that 5000, ,OOO, 600 would be used Is shown to have been fully 100 per cent in excess of the real demand

He Left 1t TO Her.

A landlord recently met surprise
in guest who had come down from
the country with his wife for short
pleasure trip and had been assigned to
one of the best rooms in the house:
During their first night at the hotel
their neighbors were kept awake by a
fearful "row" between the new arri-
walls. It ragged long and loud, and it
was evident that the husband had for
gotten Bulwer and fine sentiment and
had laid his hands on his wife not in
the way of kindness. The whole
hotel was scandalized, and when the
couple appeared in the morning, the
lady with widespread black eye and
other marks of conjugal attentions the
proprietor told them they must leave.
"Oh, come now, landlord, you don't
mean that. We like your house, we
like our rooms, and We don't want to
go"
"But I can't have you whipping
your wife here. Every guest will
leave. 1 won't have such things in
my house," persisted the boniface,
regarding with indignant pity the
lady's bruised face and half closed eye.
"Come now, landlord, seems to me
you're little hasty. We had little
disturbance last hight, but that doesn'
occur every night. 1t might not hap

Jags In a Spring.

CoNNELLsv1LLE, Pa, October l.
A most remarkable story reached here
to-day from Trump Hollow, favorite
resort in the mountains, about FIVE
miles east of town. The report is to
the effect that a spring Of water
of peculiar chemical power has been
discovered. The discovery was made
by a band of Hungarians who were
thrown out of work by the shutdown
in the coke region and who have
been spending most of their time hunt
ing.
Two Connellsville. sportsmen were
travelling through that section yester-
day. when they UNEXPECTEDLY came
across the Huns, who were lounging
about in the shade, near the spring.
The Huns motioned for the sportsmen
to come nearer, and invited them to
drink some of the water7- The sports
men complied, reluctantly at first, but
willingly after they had tasted it.
The more they drank the more they
thirsted for the water. Presently
they began to feel hilarious, and be-
came light-headed. The Huns Joined
them in the debauch, and soon all be-
came intoxicated.
A few of the Huns who had been
drinking before the arrival of the
sportsmen we're stretched out on the
ground very much intoxicated: The
Huns declared that they had been
coming to the spring every day for
the last FIVE weeks and had always
succeeded in getting intoxicated (; and
they claim the water to be as good as
the best whiskey. The sportsmen
say that the water acts as stimulant
and as soon as one begins to drink it
he feels hilarious, and it is an effort
to keep from laughing.
A party of physicians left this at
ternoon for Trump Hollow to investi-
gate the matter. The report has
reused considerable interest among
the people here. At least fifty pco-
pie went up to the Hollow this after
noon to see the spring.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.

Got 'Em Mixed.

"a laughable incident occurred here
recently" said a well-known clerk,
lately. "It is customary in checking
bundles and valises at the hotel stand
to give a check to the guest and retain
the other one on the straps. Well,
the other day two valises nearly alike
were checked.
"Now, check-stand man makes an
error sometimes, and gets the numbers
Of checks twisted around. He check
ed these particular valises during a
rush, and excitedly gave the duplicate
checks to the waiting guests. The re-
suit was little Buttercup mixture in
which the lady got the check belong
ing to the gentleman, and vice versa.
The baggage was taken up to the re-
spectiye rooms. The young man, who
is especially modest, was Mortified on
opening the valise he had received.
It contained by actual inventory box
Of pink powder, curling iron, some
immaculate linen, a veil, box Of
broad gauge hairpins, and aglove but
toner.
"a scream waiting over the transom
of neighboring room on the same
floor demonstrated that the young lady
had discovered the contents OF the
valise she had received, which right
fully belonged to the mortified young
man. Its contents consisted of q
bottle of McBrayer Extract, deck OF
Hoyle, one Smith G. Weston, one
large stick of mustache wax, paper
of smoking tobacco, and temperance
essay. There was a wild rush for the
check stand, mutual explanations fol,

Burial OF Living People.

Cardinal Donnet, Archbishop of Bor-
deaux, during q debate In the French
Legislature concerning the extension OF
the space of ftwenty-four hours between
the decease and interment to, forty-eight
hours, told number of remarkable oc-
currences that came under his own i'm
mediate observation, says the Plttsburg
Dispatch. In the village in which be
was first stationed he had saved two per:
SONS from being buried alive. One was
an old man who lived only twelve hours
after the time fixed for the interment,
but he was saved the horror ofdying I'M
grave. The other was a man who was
restored to life and lived for many years
afterward. In the case of a young lady
at Bordeaux, who had just been pro-
nounced dead when the cardinal called,
he perceived what he thought to be
signs of life and succeeded In restoring
her.
The last instance recited by Cardinal
Donnet caused profound sensation. A
Young priest was preaching in a crowded
church on sultry day In July, 1927,
when he was suddenly seized with gid
diness in the pulpit. He sank to the
floor apparently dead; was taken home,
and the funeral bell tolled. The TACT was
the supposed dead man was aware OF
every sound and move made about him.
He bad the horror of seeing the doctor
examine him, pronounce him dead, in
quire after his age, birth, etc., and gave
permission for Els interment the follow
Ing morning. The body was measured
for coffin. His Bishop recited the Dc
Profundis. Then came the priests
mother. Her sorrowing voice produced
marvellous effect, and excited him to a
superhuman effort.
Continuing, Cardinal Donnet said "Of
what followed I need say no more than
that the seemingly dead man stood next
day In the pulpit from which he had
been taken for dead. That youT!g
priest, gentlemen, Is the same man who
is now speaking before you, and VINO,
more than forty years after that event,
implores those in authority not merely
to watch vigilantly over the careful exc
cution of the legal prescriptions with re-
gard to interments, but enact fresh Ones

A Petition for Grape Growers.

The Oconee county grape growers and
others interested in their industry are
circulating through the State q petition
asking sucn modification of the laws re-
garding the manufacture Of wine as will
give the vineyards an opportunity to
1iye. The following is copy:
1.-THE undersigned petitioners, resi-
dents and tax payers of Oconee county
and State of South Carolina respectfully
represent that the State Government,
for number Of years previous to any
enactment of legislation curtailing the
rights Of her citizens to make and sell
domestic wines without restrictions, did,
through her Department Of Agriculture
hold out inducement to immigration and
settlement that under her genial skies,
salubrious climate and adaptable soil,
the grape could be grown, especially
throughout the Piedmont section, in all
it's native perfection, rivaling the vine
clad hills Of France and other European
countries, renowned for the cultivation
of the grape and its products. Under
such inducements many immigrants Of
the better class were persuaded to settle
in our State, invest their capital in farms
and engage in viticulture, as also some OF
our native citizens, and what was then
u IL
bids fair not only to become q success,
but remunerative branch of diversified
agriculture. This adventitious result can
never be realized under the restrictive
measure of the Buist Act of 1891 and the
Evans Act of 1892, which so restricts the
sale of domestic wines, products from
the grape, as virtually to abrogate this
right Of the grape grower altogether,
thereby entailing lrreparable damage to
their vocation, wasteful destruction Of
their vineyards and loss of all capital
therein invested.
Your humble petitioners, therefore,
would most respectfully ask that those
whom they have entrusted with their
rights. to lay aside factional antagonism
and by the repeal of 30 much OF the OBJ.
jectionable legislation complained Of as
relates and applies to the manufacture
and sale of domestic grape wine, and
this restore the rights of the citizens en-
gagged in this industry, and by this means
maintain the plighted faith of tho State
to those who have engaged In this grape
culture under the former fostering care
shown it by the State. Unless the
blighting, whitening provisions of the
Acts complained of are by your honor
aLle body removed, this branch of d.
versified agriculture, 80 much needed IN
the South, must be abandoned by its
,originators. Your petitioners belieye
that the relief asked for will sub.
serve the best interests Of the State and
would be in accord with the will of a
majority of its citizens; and your
petitioners as in duty bound will ever
pray, &c.
An illustration of the need for some
change in the law Is given in this county
in the case Of q Freedman whose entire
property and living are in vineyard.
His business has been ruined by the dis
pensary law and he cannot use his prop
erty in any way unless he plows up his
vines and uses the land to increase the
cotton production Of the county.
