A BABY SMOKER.
The Most Preoocious Four-Year-old
Urohin in Maine.
From the Lewiston Journal.


Urohin in Maine.
From the Lewiston Journal.
The sojourner at the hotel at Cooper's
Mills, Me, will probably experience con-
siderable establishment when Jud Alden
comes up to him and calculates: ''Gim-
me a,smoke!" Now, Jud is less than 5
years old, and he is about half as large as
he ought to be. The man who laughs at
this precocious youngsters imperative de-
mand will receive look OF rebellious
wrath.
Don't you believe kin smoke. Gimme
cents and see."
The writer-may the patron saint Of
children forgive him-gave this diminu-
live Jud a nickel. Two minuths later the
youngster came out of a grocery store
with a cigar that looked ten feet long
clinched between his teeth. Under his
arm was his primer, and away he trudged
to school. This youngster has smoked
for a wear or more, and has chewed to-
bacco for longer time. About his mouth
was the deep stain Of tobacco, and his
little calico waist looked like war map.
When he was a baby creeping about
the house he appeared to crave tobacco,
and If he found any scraps he would chew
them with curious relish.
His parents have endeavored TO break
him Of this habit, but he persists in
smoking and chewing. At the time Of
the recent railroad meeting at Cooper's
Mills Jud stuck a big cigar In his mouth
and led the band through the streets. II
is not unlikely that his propensity was
due 10 some prenatal influence. he
smokes as constantly as a man II ne can
procure the tobacco, and he seems TO
thrive in spite Of the practice, that would
kill most toddlers OF his age.

About two years ago was confined to my
room with breaking out on my leg which my
physician pronounced Eczema. About three
weeks ago the same disease broke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend
ing me regularly, calling from once to twice
daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A
friend called to see me, and brought about
one half teaspoonful of CUTcURA, advising
me to try it, telling Of himself, brothers and
mother having been cured by it, would
not try it at first. although / had been on
clutches for over two weeks, and at one time
counted between twenty-five and thirty suppur-
ating sores, and had not slept more than five
hours in three nights. Monday morning about
four o'clock the pain, burning and itching be-
came so severe that / determined to try CUTI-
CURA, thinking that II it did no good II could
not make my leg much worse, for IL vas as raw
as a piece of beef and az red as a beet, so 1
applied the CUTICURA, and in five minutes after
] laid down was asleep. Next day sent and
got box Of CUTICURA, and I'll pledge my honest
word | would not take 500 to-day for IL, IL l
could not get another. ] commenced using
CUTICURA Monday morning about four O'Clock,
and to-day Tuesday my leg is nearly well not
withstanding l had not walked step without
my crutches in two weeks. My gratitude to the
man who first compounded CUTICUBA is pro-
found, May God bless him.

4 STAMPEDE IN WYOMING.
Strong Probability That a Sena-
tor Will Be Elected Today.
HIS NAME is THOMPSON.
The Populists Indicate Their Prefer
ence for Him.
New Has Withdrawn and an Effort Will
BE Made to Concentrate the Demo-
cratic Vote for Thompson
Outlook in Montana.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. 10.-TSpecial. l.
The twentieth senatorial ballot which was
taken at noon today was the most excit-
ing one OF the session and for few mo-
nents stampede seemed inevitable. The
ballot proceeded quietly until Speaker
Tidball, who is last on the roll call, voted.
He said as Popui;st he first wanted a
Populist elected, now he saw that was i'm
possible and between Republicans and
Democrats on national questions he had
no choice, but for the good of Wyoming,
in view of the recent troubles in the state,
lie thought a Democrat should be elected
to the Senate, and voted for John Charles
Thompson.
The ballot as it then stood was as fol-
lows: A. L. New z, Willis Yandevanter,
Republican, q; /. Q. Miller, Democrat,
10; George w. Baxter 2, William Brown
4, George T. Beck L, Corn 1, ]. G. Thomp-
son I. Before the ballot was announced
three Populists changed their votes from
Brown to Thompson, seven Democrats
changed from Miller and New to Thomp-
son.
The stampede to Thompson seemed to
be about to become general when Nc
Cormick and Hoyt, Republicans, changed
their vote from Vandevanter to Beck,
Democrat. Five Democrats then de-
serted Miller and voted for Beck, and
Hinkle. Republican, voted for Baxter,
Democrat The vote as announced after
these changes was: New, 8; Vandevanter,
10; Miller, 2; Baxter, 5; Brown, 1; Beck,
S; Corn, L; Thompson, IL.
The Populists having indicated their
preference for Thompson his election is
almost a certainty. New withdrew from
the race this afternoon and will sup
port Thompson, who will also have the
Baxter votes tomorrow. An attempt will
be made tonight to concentrate the Dem
ocratic vote, and if this Is successful
Thompson will be elected tomorrow.

ployment of armed men on the occasions
of threatened or existing strikes, their in
terests would be better subserved- sit
strikes your committee, - the report COZ
t'nues, ssthat if Mr.. Prick had acted upon
the views laid down by Andrew Carnegie
in his article, THE Results of Labor
Troubles, in the Forum magazine which
In a recent letter to the chairman
of this committee Mr.. Carnegie
reaffirmed, and had further extended ne
gotiations with workmen the Homestead
strike might have been avoided" The
committee declares that the employment
of private armed guard ct Homestead
was unnecessary and at the same time
there seems TO be no excuse for the strikers
themselves. Responsible laboring men
should learn the lesson that they cannot
better their condition by violating law or
resisting lawful authority.
In conclusion the committee says its in
vestigation led it to conclude that the
fault lies not wholly on one side and that
the middle ground seems to be in the di
rection of arbitration. Without making
any recommendations but pleading for
arbitration the committee closes it's report
by saying: sTo this end we bespeak the
cooperation of all patriotic citizens and
your committee will welcome any legisla-
ton which will tend to secure the
laboring man every right without
depriving employer. for both are guaran-
teed by the constitution and laws OF the
land!J

a BIG APPROPRIATIONS.
The Pension Bill the Greatest One That
Was Ever Before Congress.

The Pension Bill the Greatest One That
Was Ever Before Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-After routine
business was disposed of the House pro-
ceeded in Committee af the Whole to a
consideration of the invalid pension ap-
preparation bill. Mr.. Mutchler, in charge
! of the bill, stated that the appropriation
recommended S166, 400, 900. 1t was pro-
posed to amend the measure 80 the
amount would be reduced to 1855 ,090, 600.
This was the heaviest appropriation bill
that had ever been before the American
| Congress. The Committee on Appropria-
tions had come to the conclusion that
there should be some retrenchment, and
recommended several amendments which
| it thought would institute a reform, the
first providing for transfer of the PEN
sion bureau from the interior to the war
| department. The pension bureau could
not be taken out of the arena of politics
until it was put where political influence
did not count. Mr.. Mutchler then pro-
ceeded to argue in support of the changes
| in pension laws recommended by the
Committee on Appropriations.
| Mr.. circuit opposed the transfer of the
pension bureau, and Mr.. Tarsney favored
the proposed amendment. Without clos
| ing the general debate the committee rose
and the House took a recess, the evening
session to be for the consideration of pri-
Yate pension bills.
| The evening session was wasted in fill
clustering and at $50 pm. motion to
adjourn prevailed, no business whatever
having been accomplished.

FLOOD IN NEW JERSEY
Trenton Is Partially Submerged and
Much Damage Inflicted.
Other Towns Along the Delaware River
Are Inundated-Hany Furnaces Com
PEELED to Shut Down.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 1O.-The ice
which closed the Delaware river for six
weeks broke at Lambertsville, sixteen
miles above here, this noon, and
at once started on down the
stream At Periwig bar the ice
formed a jam and backwater resulting
there from flooded parts of South
Trenton. The river rose seven feet in
two hours during the afternoon. To-
wards dusk it went down about foot,
but later began to rise again and there is
now every Indication of a flood severer
than that of 1882 when several parts of the
city was submerged
Much damage is done on Fair street
which is the river front. South Trenton
is under water already, and people are
padding about the street in boats. The
flood has been anticipated for weeks and
such preparations made for its occurrence
that damage to property will be kept
down.
Assanging creek, which runs through
the city, is also high and by tomorrow
may overrun its banks and put out many
furnace fires as well as food dwelling
houses and cellars. Reports from Morris
vile and other Pennsylvania villages
along the river both above and below
Trenton are to the effect that water has
begun to oyerrun them.

A Lively Discussion Over Neill's Tax
Exemption Bill.
BOISE, Ida, Feb 1O.-Tspecial lin
the house today Neill's senate tax ex-
emption bill was considered in COM
mittee of the whole. A lively discussion
followed an amendment by Mills of
Bingham to tax all mines on basis OF
the value of one-half yearly gross pro-
duction. The present law exempts mines.
Members from the mining section ar
rayed themselves against the measure
and those from the agricultural districts
were in favor of it. The amendment was
finally adopted by close vote.
In the senate, Stewart of Ada intro
duced bill providing heavy penalty to
persons who INSTRUCTED railroad tracks
causing accidents. Brown OF Bingham
county introduced memorial to Congress
praying for the appointment of a commits
sioner to allot in severalty lands to Indi-
ans for that reservation. Michems' bill

HARMONY SOCIETY.
Serious Charges Alleged in the Filing o
an Application as Receiver.

Serious Charges Alleged in the Filing of
an Application as Receiver.
PIITsBURe, Feb. 1O.-A bill praying
for the appointment OF receiver for the
property of the Harmony society and an
accounting by the president, John Duss,
was filed at Beaver today. In addition to
alleging that much of the 81 1000, 200 worth
of property of the society had been lost
through fraud, negligence and misman-
agenent of Duss and Trustee Sieber rem
dering the society insolvent, the bill
charges that they are living in luxury
with their wives in contravention of the
main principle of the society, which en-
Joins celibacy, while other members are
obliged to exc out a precarious existence;
also that the board of elders are confirmed
and common drunkards; that Duss
sought to cast discredit on the teachings
of the society by casting doubts on the
story of the Christ and by preaching doc
trines of Cyrus reed .sKoresh'' of Chi
cago and "Prince Michael' Mills of De-
troit. pretended dive beings.
The bill goes on to state the various los
ing ventures which Duss has entered into
in the name of the society he being in fact
sole manager of its affairs, since the other
trustees were merely his tools; and that
he refused to render an accounting. This
Is the uT5g SleD III d i1Obly contested Ddb-
tie. The entering of the suit will sur
prise the Economics as much as anyone,
for most of the members thought the
trouble had blown over.
An afternoon paper is authority for the
statement that the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania has entered a legal battle for
possession or the immense wealth of the
Economic society. The matter is now in
the hands Of States Attorney general
Hensel and IS being prosecuted by the
ablest legal talent OF Allegheny and
Beaver county bars. Proceedings will be
instituted at once and will be far reaching
in all results. If successful it will involve
absolute surrender of all property of the
Economic society and confscation by the
state. 1t will be proceeding in escheat,
based on the established precedent of emil
nent legal authority and the act of the
assembly forbidding the conduct of soci-
cites whose principles are at variance with
public custom and against the spirit of the
constitution.
1t is claimed that sufficient authority
can be obtained to disrupt the Celibate
community and turn its goods and chat
tells into the state treasury. The proceed
ings have no connection with the suit
fled in the Beaver county courts today
by Feichts and other economists asking
for receiver to wind up the affairs of the
organization On the contrary, two bat
ties will be fought on entirely different
lines, the issues being contrary and detri-
mental TO each other, as the success Of
the states case would necessarily mean q
failure OF the prosecution on behalf OF the
malcontents' society.

Attention in Study of Treasury
Affairs, Especially the Heavy
Drain of Gold.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-In the Senate
the debate today on the automatic car
coupler continued. Mr.. Cullom OF Hi
nois, in charge of the bill, indicated the
general WEAKNESS over the discussion by
appealing to Mr.. Mcpherson of New Jer-
sey, who offered an amendment, to let
the bill pass in it's present shape on assur-
ance that it would be CAREFUL considered
IN conference and made as nearly unob-
jectionable as possible. This proposal
was not accepted and the discussion went
on. Finally a vote was about to be taken
on the passage of the bill when Mr. Harris
of Tennessee proposed that the vote
should be postponed until a new print OF
the bill as amended could be had. That
was agreed to and O'Clock tomorrow
fixed as che time to take the vote.

was not.

FARM ANIMALS.
Report of the statistician Upon Compar-

Report of the Statistician Upon Compar-
alive Numbers and Value.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The report Of
the statistician upon the comparative
numbers and value of farm animals based
on returns for January 1892, is nearly
ready for publication. 1t shows an in
crease in horses, mules, sheep; no ma
terial change in number of mich COWS,
a decrease in oxen and ether cattle, and a
very heavy reduction in the number of
swine. The estimated number of domes-
tic animals on farms, ranches and public
range is as follows:
Horses, 16, 206, S02; mules, 2, 331, 1928;
COWS, Is, 424 ,0S7; other cattle, 81, 1854, 1856;
sheep, AZ ,252, 553: swine, 46, 094, S07. Az
erage values declined as to horses and
mules, and advanced as to cattle of all
kinds. Greater gain appears in the value
of sheep, and very large advance is seen
in swine, amounting to 80 per cent, and
progressive since the returns were made.
The average price of horses is SIC; mules
$40; COWS $21. rs; other cattle SIS. "a !;
