RESULTS OF THE CAUCUS.
An Effort win BE Made to Bring About -
Early Vote.

Early Vote.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The demo-
cratic senatorial caucus to agree upon
q line Of proceeding on the silver ques-
ton was free from any fights. All dis
cussion of the merits of the case were
waived and it was agreed that every eff
fort should be put forward to bring the
silver question to vote at once. A
committee consisting of Senators Cor
man, Voorhees,, Gray. Ransom and
Blackburn was appointed to agree on a
line of action.
Congressman Boon, who attended the
free silver caucus, said they had hot
time on account of the efforts of some
southern members to force to the front
the proposition to repeal the state bank
taxes. This was sat down upon and q
committee of five democrats, with Bland
at the head, was instructed to prepare
a straight cut free silver bill.
The decision of the silver caucus was
to force the consideration Of the free
silver measure before the repeal of the
purchase clause. There were about 60
mem bers present and about so are sup
posed to be in sympathy with this plan.

FIVE MILLION BUSHELS.

That Is About the Manual Crop Of Pea
nuts In This Country.
The ''goober'' industry Of Norfolk is
unique. Here is a little city in Vir.
ginia that has become the greatest
distributing center of peanuts in the
world. A peanut is pretty small
item, but an annual crop of something
like 100000 bushels, worth millions
of dollars, makes pretty big item.
The demand for COOLERS has doubled
within the last five years, and the sup
ply does not yet fill the growing de-
mand. Few people know the curious
uses to which the goober has been put
in trade quite of late years. No other
single plant raised in this country is
used in so many different ways. The
Chinese say that the cocoanut palm
has as many useful properties as there
are days in the year. The goober is
not so universal as that, but it has
as many valuable qualities as there
are days in the week. says the
New York Independent. The solid
part of the nut is peculiarly nu-
tritive and supplies fruit and food for
many a family. The vines make fine
fodder: some say as good as clover hay,
while hogs fatten on what is left in
the fields after the crop has been gath
cred.
If you grind the nut you get a, sweet
quality of -four, with which the house.
wife makes delicious biscuit. If you
squeeze it you obtain valuable oil re-
sembling olive oil and used for similar
purposes. This oil also enters largely
into the manufacture of the better
grade Of soaps. The kernels are roast
ed for coffee. The roasted kernels are
also used in the manufacture Of some
kinds Of chocolate. The confectioner
helps to ruin our digestion in boyhood
days with peanut candy; the Georgia
cook alone knows how to make rich
pastry of pounded peanuts. The art
list, with paint brush. silks and satins,
creates novel and beautiful peanut or
naments; so that peanut dolls and other
curios may now be seen in the shop win.
dows, especially around the holidays.
These are some of the ways in which
the leguminous nut is useful to us.
The goober is grown more or less in all
the southern states, The bulk of our
supply comes from Virginia, North Car
DINA and Georgia. Down south these
edible nuts are called "goobers'' or
'pinders.' They are not known as
peanuts. Now that the demand is in
creasing and good prices are obtained,
more growers are going into the bust
ness every year Few crops are easier
to raise than the goober. 1t is a
hardy, prolific plant, and requires no
more care and attention than crop

m HOMEMADE LINEN.
Just such Clothes ~ They Were Married
In Sixty Years Ago.

I
In Sixty Years Ago.
A year ago last spring. says Scran-
ton (Pa.) correspondent of the New
York Sun, Mrs. Henry B. Shetland, Of
Gibson township, Susquehanna county,
said to her husband: Henry, we
ought to raise some fax this year. :"
The aged farmer hadn't raised crop
of fax in thirty-nine years, SO he
asked: What for, Elizabeth" ''Well,
you know, Henry replied the good
old wife, ''if we live till a year from
June we'll have b.en married sixty
years, and thought it would be nice
to give party then and receive our
guests in the same kind of linen cloth
ing we wore when we stood up to be
married down in Connecticut in 1888.
We've got all of the old fax tools
stored away, and if you'll raise some
fax. Henry, I'll spin and weave it and
make nice homemade suit for each
of u.s.
Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and
his wife eighty-ive at the time. Both
were rugged and healthy, and when
the old farmer had thought the matter
over for a moment he exclaimed: by
George, Elizabeth, I'll do it,
A few days afterward the old farmer
prepared piece of rich ground back
of the barn and sowed patch of fax.
The aged couple watched it's growth
every day with anxiety. The crop was
excellent and when it had got ripe in
the fall Farmer Shetland gathered it,
beat the seeds from the tops, and
spread the straw on the grass to rot
In, November he tied it up in bundles.
and packed it away in the barn.
On beautiful sap morning in March
Farmer Shetland brought out the fax
and stood it up along the south side of
the barn. The wind was in the North
and in day or so the fax was as dry
as bone. Then the old farmer broke
it, swingled it, and turned it over to
his aged wife, who Immediately tied
up her head, shut herself in the kitch-
en- and hatcheled the fax till all the
tow was separated from it. The next
day she got the old spinning wheel
from the garnet, oiled it up, and began
to make it buzz unsteady. Farmer

$50 it does, Henry. But can't make
the wheel go as fast as used to-
In few days the old lady had spun
all the fax and reeled it into skeins.
The next thing she did was to boil the
skeins in a weak I've of wood ashes to
bleach the yarn, and when that was
done Farmer Shetland rinsed the
skeins in the brook till all the I've was
out, Mrs. Shetland began at once to
weave the yarn in the old loom, and by
June she had woven it all into cloth.
Within three weeks the old lady
cut and made frock and apron for
herself and a whole suit for her hus-
band, and June rs last the aged couple,
dressed in their homespun linen gar
ments, celebrated the sixtieth ami
versary of their marriage in com-
pany of three-score relatives and

CARDIFF. Nov. 29.-The conference
OF the National Conservative union was
resumed here tniay. A resolution was
passed demanding from the government
"a fresh naval programme. and asserting
9the absolute necessity of maintaining
che supremacy OF England on the seas.
The Marquis of Salisbury. upon enter
ing, received an address from the COM
bined Conservative clubs and Primrose
league. who accorded the Conservative
leader most enthusiastic receptions.
Replying to the address of welcome,
Ford Salisbury congratulated the Con-
SeryativeS upon the heartiness
with which the Liberal Union
lists aud Conservatives co-operat-
ed. and expressed the hope
that the union would continue until its
ultimate object was attained. namely,
stamping out this miserable home rule

the opinion that adherence of shatter-
ing the empire was so deeply implanted
III the hearts of the people that the
ultimate success of the home rulers was
impossible. Blu. the marquis admitted
the Conservatives had great forces sto
combat and had to contend against the
avowed enemies of England Replying

The difference between the mission
of the Conservatives and the unfortunate
tendency of their opponents is that the
Conservatives seek to diminish differ
enceS and encourage the confidence of
the various classes of the community,
and it is the unfortunate fate of their
opponents that at every step they eXaS-
perate and eXaggerate the differences.
MIR. Gladstone, when in difficulties.
always sought more power by setting
some class against its neighbor. Mr..
Gladstone complains that the house of
lords is all on one side; but it was not
always so, the phenomenon is colncl-
dent with the period during which Mr..
GLADSTONE is leader of the Liberals. Mr..
GladStone's political career shows the
stepping from one invitation to dis
union of the classes to another and
similar invitation. and as long as he is
i'll need of majorties he pursues this
aim, and will continue to find new
causes to set Englishmen against their

That is the complaint have to make
