A Swindler Under Arrest at Cincin.
natl a Much Married Man.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 25.-J. d. Caldwell,
with several aliases, the most cunning
prisoner the government has had for
some time, was in the United States
court Tuesday, charged with misusing
the mails. He would write letters as
sorting that he owned large fruit and
florist establishment in Florida, and
would offer commission merchants in
the North oranges at 20 to 80 cents a
box lower than the regular market
prices. In this way he did marvellous
business for time Since his incarcer-
alton the government has learned that
he has wife and seven children at Car
rollton, KY. another at Owensboro,
KY, another at New Albany, Ind.
The last one only lived with him two
weeks. In that time he borrowed
1,700 from her to start shoe store at
Shelbyville, Ind. There he met kaiza
Green, whom he married and took with
him to Dalton, Ga. where he deserted
her. When next heard OF he left
widows" at Cadiz. o., Marysville, KY,
and Columbus and Ripley, Q. He
courted and proposed also to Mrs.
Poor, of CINCINNATI, who met hin at
some river town in Illinois. She was
rich widow and he succeeded in fleeing
her out of several hundred dollars. 1t
is likely that Caldwell will be taken to
Leavenworth, Ind, where indictments
are pending against him for embezzle-
ment. Four of his wives and several
children are there waiting his coming.

he delivered on SATURDAY. last.

Big Paw for Little Work

The number of accidents which have
befallen the big steamship lines have
been surprisingly few. When mishaps
have occurred large sums have been
awarded for comparatively trivial serv-
ices, such as towing for day or two.
The Hamburg American liner Suevia,
from New York to Hamburg, broke her
shaft off the Irish coast on Jan. ~, 1885,
and was lowed into Queenstown harbor
by the tramp steamship Istrian, bound
from Boston to Liverpool. The Istrian
was awarded $2S, $50 salvage.
The passenger steamship City of Rich
mond, from Liverpool to New York, was
disabled at sea in November, 1882. She
was taken into Halifax harbor by the
tramp steamship Circassia, a service IN
volying fifty-four hours of towing. The
salvage awarded by the British admiralty
court was $50. 000.-New York Evening

MANAGING ENGLISH FARMS.

The Results of an Intelligent and Capable
Land Owner in England.
Mr.. w. j. Harris gives most helpful
and interesting account of the Halwill
manor estate. This was poor land and
much of it was untouched for long peri
DDS, being treated as a summer run for
cattle. The investor, Mr.. Harris, was
tempted at first to do what at that time
was generally done by landlords-con-
Boldate farms, pull down old cottages
and in fact generally reduce the avail
able population and labor on the land.
Several farms fell in soon after Mr..
Harris purchase of the estate, but he
was converted" by observing that,
where the landlord or the farming ten
ant had allowed the cottagers to cult
vate the land Immediately around them,
the value of the land had been doubled
by the laborer without indeed any guar
antee of permanent residence.
Instead of destroying, the new landlord
built and repaired, and having farms on
his hands was enabled to cut off certain
fields and allot them to cottagers. Small
farms grew up and the larger ones were
reduced. Thus land was let that other
wise would not have been-moorland in
closures, for instance-anditwa was on these
that the value of the system made itself
at once apparent.
Land not valued at more than five
shillings per acre in its rough sts to be-
came, when meadow land, We from
thirty to fifty shillings, and a. TIE cot
tages were in demand the or::i,.sion
increased, and farmers knowing tha:
labor could always be obtained took The
large farms, reduced though they were.
Wages have risen from ten and eleven
shillings to twelve and fourteen shillings
per week.
Mr.. Harris says he made the mistake
of working his vacant farms with bail
ifs, thinking, as the land was in low
condition, he might do it better than a
tenant. But, as he says, it is the laborer
who knows best and who succeeds, pro-
vided he has not more land than he can
manage. One of these small holders now
has fifty acres and gives occasional en-
ployment.
One secret of the small farmers sue
cess Is that one man works on his farm
for no wages at all, and that is the farm
er himself. The small farmers help each
other, and they seldom let crop stand
too late or get behindhand, as is the fash
ion with some misguided men, who un-
derman their large farms and depend on
outside labor for chronic emergencies
The harm that a large landowner can do
by farming meanly is incalculable.

TO ADMIT TERRITORIES.
Republican Senators Consider
the Question of Creating
New States.
Favorable Action Regarding
Oklahoma, Utah and New
Mexico Taken.
Congress Adjourns Out Of Res
pect to the Memory Of JUS
tice Lamar.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Republic
can senatorial caucus has decided by a
majority vote to take favorable action
on the admission of the territories OF
Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico, but
left Arizona out in the cold. This re-
suit was not attained until Jaftera pro
longed discussion. A great deal of OPP
position was manifested on the part of
some of the Eastern senator's, who
pointed to what they called the mani
fest evidences of the inability Of these
territories to undertake the care and
burden of statehood. It was argued
that the question of admission should
be made the order of business to follow
the discussion of the Nicaragua canal
bill.
The house has already passed the bills
for the admission of New Mexico, Arr
IONA and Oklahoma, but have left out
Utah. There was quorum present at
all times during the two hours Of the
caucus.

Like Mothers Cooking.

An enterprising baker advertises
"mince pies like mother used to make"
There is something queer about the idea
that ones mother could cook better than
any other woman who ever lived. Each
generation of men, when they reach mid
die life, lauds mothers cooking, and
compares it with his wife's cooking to
her disadvantage. When that mans
boy gets wife of his own he tells her
what good cook his mother was, and
SO it goes generation after generation.
Now, according to this theory, the art
of cooking has been steadily deteriorat-
ing, but of course this is not true. Won

to do with the idea that his mother was
the best cook the world ever saw?-St.

Old Time ..Reviewing.n

The first age of the great modern re.
views and magazines was an age of kicks
and rough horseplay. Party spirit ran
high under the regency, and literary
criticism, so far from being the ''disin.
terested" affair which Matthew Arnold
demands, was avowedly run upon polit.
ical lines. Libel suits and challenges
rained upon magazine editors. Jeffrey
and Moore went through the forms of q
duel. The Chaldee manuscript had to be
suppressed in the second edition, and
cost Mr.. Blackwood a thousand pounds
as it was. Aggrieved persons lay in wal.
for editors in the street.
Thus one Mr.. Douglas, of Glasgow, who
had been roughly handled in ''Maga,
came to Edinburgh and horsewhipped
Blackwood, and was in turn beaten by
Blackwood, who had REINFORCED himself
meanwhile with cudgel and with the
Ettrick Shepherd. -H. A. Beers in Cen.

Buddhism In Greece.

A legend Of one of Buddha's earliest
pupils tells us that the young man used
to pass the whole rainy season in his
palace surrounded by dancing girls.
Once he saw a bevy Of them asleep in
unbecoming attitudes, and he woke up
and said, "This will never do" So he
joined Buddha. Now, life of heavy
heat, long rainy seasons and unceasing
dancing girls is very well calculated to
bring man to suicide or to Buddhism.
AS far as Buddhism means unselfish
kindness land it demands great deal of
that from a true disciple), it is exactly
as good as any other religion which makes
the same requirement.
But as far as it is pedantic, morbid,
puerile and superstitious, busy with
arithmetical strings of propositions, with
austerities, ending in self hypnotism,
with an ideal Of universal suicide, it is
difficult to see how the natives Of a
temperate climate can acquiesce in the
developed doctrines Of Buddhism. Had
Gotama come to Greece and preached al
the Olympic games it is unlikely that be

:
THE Sage AS A CLERK.
A Clash in the Senate Between
Messrs. Donnelly and
Hompe.
The Former Agrees to Act as
Clerk and Wins the First
Round.
Bill to Provide for the Reorgani-
zation Of the State
Militia.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 25.-Senators Hompe
and Donnelly had their first clash in the
senate during the day and the sage
came off victorious. Senator Hompe
introduced a resolution asking for a
clerk for the committee on grain and
warehouses. Senator Donnelly opposed
the resolution on the ground that the
committee did not really need a clerk
as one of the members could easily per-
form all the duties of clerk. The roll
was called and the resolution received
a half dozen more votes than was neces-
sary, Senator Donnelly alone voting in
the negative. To rub it in and clinch
his victory, Senator Hompe called for
the absentees When Senator Days
name was recalled, he arose and stated
that if Senator Donnelly would make
his words good and act as clerk for this
committee, he would vote ''no."" This
struck a popular chord and there was a
wild scramble to change to the mega
tive, some of the senators STIMULATING
that Senator Donnelly should not ask
any extra compensation for such serv-
ice. When the round up was completed
it was found that the resolution was de-
feated by vote of "a to Is, and the
Sage had won his first victory.
The Coal Combine.
The house concurrent resolution, call
ing for an investigation of the opera
lions of the coal combine, caused a
good deal of trouble in the senate.
Senator Donnelly offered an amendment
to limit the expenditure to $500. Sena-
tor Day wanted the limit of expendi-
ture raised to $1,000, but was voted
down by vote of % to "a. The $500
limit was then adopted and the resolu-
ton was passed as amended by a vote
of Al to 4. The following senators were
named for the joint committee: Don
nelly, Dean and Morse,
Among the measures introduced were
bills appropriating $111,0O0 for the
school for detectives at Faribault and
$40, 900 for a dormitory for the Moor
head normal school.
Senator Craven called up his resolu-
ton calling for an increase of the COM
mittee on municipal corporations, but
after hard fight, the point of which
no one seemed to comprehend, the mo-
ton was lost and the senate adjourned.
