Gov. Fuller has been notified that
the uniform standard of pitch which
was recently agreedu upon by the lead
ing piano manufacturers in the United
States has been adopted by the de-
partment of liberal arts as the musi
Columbian exposition. The standard
in question is that A which gives 435
double vibrations in second of time,
and Gov. Fuller's many friends are
pleased to note that the introduction
of this ''uniform pitch' suggested by
him has been very general through
out the United States.

President Cleveland's experience in
appointing Indiana democrats to of
fee has not been pleasant. His choice
Of ex-Gov. Gray as Minister to Mexi-
co divided the party, and the Burke
appointment has given offense to civil
service reformers. He has further
been imposed upon and led to select
as postmaster at New Washington
man who has done the State of Indi-
ana service as a convict for sheep
stealing. Indiana democrats are an
exasperating set.

Mr.. Cleveland's first Secretary of
State, Thomas Bayard, is to be Amer
lean Minister, Or rather Ambassador
to the Court of ST. James. 1t is in ev-
cry way an excellent appointment.
Mr.. Bayard is an able, courteous, pol
ished gentleman who will do the ma
ton honor at the seat of the Queens
Government. He is the first of our
ambassadors. By an act of the last
Congress the President has authority
to name ambassadors to those coun-
tries which send ambassadors to us.
England maintains at great expense
an embassy at Washington, and we
are to have one in London; but it will
be on a very moderate scale. Mr..
Bayard is not very wealthy man,
and his salary and allowances are no
larger as ambassador then they would
be as minister. Mr.. Lincoln, who now
returns after an acceptable term of
service, had to supplement, from his
own pocket, his rather meager allow
ances from the Government.

The death of Gen. Hiram Berdan re-
moves man remarkable for his per-
sonal bravery, and whose inventive
genius did much to revolutionize the
science of war. In the early years of
the rebellion etBerdan's Rif1es'' were
CONSPICUOUS for the good work they
did at Charlottesville, Gettysburg
and in other battles. At Gettysburg
Berdan had five horses shot under
him, and for his superb courage at
Charlottesville he was breveted brig
adler general. But as an inventor his
fame will most endure. He conceiv
ed the rough idea which developed
into the modern reaping machine and
invented a mechanical bakery which
took barrel of flour and turned out
loaVes of bread. He invented the
metal cartridge now in use all over
the world and was the author of the
"Berden rifle" which played such an
important part in the civil war. His
latest invention was an ironclad de-
stroyer, a semi submarine boat to
plant shots in the unprotected bot
toms of men ofWar.

The liquor question has gone into
British politics with vengeance. The
pending bill, introduced in the House
Of Commons by the Gladstone minis
try, for the regulation of the liquor
traffic, has aroused intense antago-
nism. The liquor interests have or
ganized to oppose the bill and defeat
any member of Parliament who sup
ports it and seeks re election, and are
spending vast sums of money to ac-
complish their purposes. The crusade
is far more bitter than any liquor
movement known in American poll
tics.

The steamer Longueil arrived at
Baltimore recently from Hamburg,
after being several days overdue. She
had on board the famous 124 ton
Krupp gun for the Chicago fair. This
piece of ordnance is the largest ever
made in the world. The caliber is 19 =
inches. The projectiles fired from it
weigh 26OO pounds and are four feet
long. About 700 pounds OF powder
are used at single shot, and the pro-
jectile is hurled with such terrific
force that it will go through plate
of steel 20 inches thick at distance
of nine miles. The gun will be the
largest piece of freight ever handled
by any railroad and will be conveyed
to Chicago on a car specially con-
structed for the purpose by the Penn
sylvania railroad company.

GIVE 1T A FAIR TRIAL.

The new school law is just entering
on a trial, and it becomes all who
interested in the welfare of the
mmon schools to give the law fair

3pect, but it contains nothing nee
arily harmful to the people or ia
to its successful execution. Based

10 far as our observation has gone
several towns have shown a good

l of school directors. These direc
have begun their work with the
t motives and are setting out to
the very wisest and best things for
schools. In several counties they

A large number of the towns have
allotted and distributed the public
school money received from the Unit
ed States deposit fund, on the ground
that the districts of such towns have
earned this money by fulfilling the
conditions of existing laws and need
the money to pay the expenses Of
their schools. IF it was right for these
towns and districts to do this, it is
presumably right for all other towns
and districts in the State to follow
their example, but this is the point
which is in question. Some of the dis
tricts have also divided the surplus
money which they had on hand, with
the understanding that it shall be re-
funded in case such division is held to
be illegal by competent authority.

IRE Now Held;
The Hearing onThis More Sc
rious Complaint Comes Be
fore the Court Today.


1t was not tic intention of the
aggrieved husband>to allow his wife
and her cousin to escape by allow
ing them to answer only to the
charge of petty larceny, upon which
they were arrested and returned to
this city. When Winfred Cameron
and Mrs. Alberta Hall appeared in
court this morning to answer to
that charge, the cases were dis
missed on the motion of the state,
and they were re-arrestcd on the
charge of adultery. j. H. Rhodes
had been employed by the defen-
dants. A change Of venue was then
taken from Justice Simmons, and
the case sent to Justice Shaw. The
preliminary examination is set
for 2::30 O'Clock thfs afternoon. The
prosecution claims to have ample
evidence. The case naturally at
tracts a good deal of attention, and
each time the parties have appeared
in court the room has been crowded.
One OF the most important witnesses.
and in fact probably the only one be-
sides Hall and the two defendants,
is Mary Keifer, i, girl who worked
for the family at the restaurant.
Her evidence is very I'M o:tant, and
she was interviewed by the defen-
dants when theSi were out on bail
Saturday AFTERNOON.
There was little a excitement on the
streets Saturday afternoon occa-
stoned by the fact that George Hall,
the injured husband, had bought
revolver and cartridges and assumed
very determined air. Soon after
acquiring his armament he inter-
cepted Cameron, Mrs. Hall and Mary
Keller together on the street. He
took hold of the hired girl and en-
deavored to detain her, and Mrs.
Hall pulled at her from the other
side, at the same time making few
side remarks to her deserted hus-
band. Cameron raised a warning
finger, and the girl broke away from
Halls grasp. The three then walked
away from Hall up street, and he
thoughtfully placed his hand in his
hip pocket, but probably realized
that the proper time for shooting
(if there had been any passed sew
eral days before. He followed them
up to their attorneys office and
glareG at them until Sheriff Houde
appeared and ordered him to depart.
He departed, retaining his ammuni-
ton and determined air.

In speaking of the new railroad of
the Weyerhauser syndicate, the Eau
Claire Free Press says: "The build
ing Of the Weyerhauser logging rail-
road from White Birch, Douglas

able pine of the northern section of
the state promises to mark an era in
the history Of logging in northern
Wisconsin, as we'll as to marked
development of the natural resources
of a large section of the country now
about wholly untouched by the hand
Of men. This new roadlIruns north
easterly from White Birch for twenty
five or thirty miles, and is being built
for the purpose of getting out 1,OOO,-
600 feet of logs for the Weyerhauser
syndicate. The ultimate plan is to
extend the road to Lake Superior.
When so extended the lumber avail
able to the road will be something like
5OO,OOO,OOO feet"

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
luires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation OF the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-

it's work. The prOprietOrs have so
much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.
