CRANkS AT THE CAPITAL.
The President Threatened by a Mis-.
creant-A New Jersey LuE-
attic Caught.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The mis-
creant who has been slashing furni-
ture and draperies in private houses
in this city for some two weeks has
written a letter stating that none of
the men captured by the police were
guilty and declaring that before be-
ing captured be would have done
something to make him memorable.
The letter added that not only
would the White House be thorough
ly slashed, but that President Cleve-
land would be slashed before he got
through with his work, and that all
the detectives and guards that might
be put around the White House
would not save him. 1t stated
further that when this is done he
would burn the town.
\ crank giving his name as John
kart0n OF trenton, N. j., was ar
rested at the White House Tuesday
while the cabinet meeting was going
on, his visit being, as he said, for
the purpose of obtaining $4,000
which the President of the United
States owed him. He was a we'll
dressed, good looking chap about
80 years of age, and, according to
his own story, had been confined IN
a New Jersey institution for the in
sane, having been discharged a few
weeks ago. He said that spirits
told him to come to Washington for
his money and he accordingly
bought a ticket and hurried to see
the President about the matter. He
probably will be sent to tine govern
ment insane asylum.

"How soon should calls upon a

has been frequently asked. Calls
upon a bride should be. made very
soon after her return from her we'd

been designated, and as immediate
a visit must be paid to the mother
or person at whose house the recep-
ton was held. The bride returns
her calls soon, and as far as posi-,

were made. Her neglect to acquit

Times-Star says it is OF gigantic

Misunderstanding two hundred
and sixty thousand million cubic
miles. If this big star were loaded
on a train, the cars six feet high and
six feet wide, the length of the train
would be over two hundred thous-

the rate of sixty miles an hour it
would take this train more than
1888, DOC, 900 centuries to pass a
given point. Should the engineer
OF such a train want to communicate
with the rear brakeman by means of
a flash of light, which travels at the
rate of $50, 900 miles a second, it
would take $4,000 years before
the guard would. see the signal.
1t would require an express train
so, 900 900 years to go from our
earth to the nearest fixed star, and
our sun, which shines so hot in sum-

Third Parties.

From the Independence Progress.
PETER said some time ago that a
new party would be organized. He
has lately said the same thing again.
PETER is right. A new party will be
organized. Within the last hundred
years about 80 new parties have lived
and died. That's about one in every
three years. a new party will be or
ganized of course. Meantime, the
Democratic and Republican PARTIES
will go right on with their conflicting
doctrines, each striving for the mas
terry. Third parties will do in the fu-
ture just about as they have in the
past. They sometimes do some good
but in the poll ieal field they are al
ways spotted and speckled, ringed,
streaked and striped. Third parties
always make the generality of people
laugh but sometimes they hit some
u in the mouth. Then there is
laughing again-and crying. TIL
new party is just as sur to come as
the two old are to stay.

4 Coming Enterprise.

The Western Stove-lining Com
pany only three years ago started in
a very small way and it has been
steadily climbing the hill until now,
when lots of other factories are tenn
porarily closed on account of the
financial crisis, this concern is kept
more than busy-in fact, has been
compelled to refuse orders. The
LEDGER is glad to see such a state of
things, as we feel the company de-
serves all it gets for the push and
determination with which the found
er, Mr.. Z. E. Elliott, has stuck to
the enterprise. 1t looked dark to
him many times, but with implicit
confidence he strenuously and un-
fatiguingly fought every difficulty
and has surmounted every obstacle
and now the concern bids fair during
the next year or two to become quite
a large size factory. We have often
said and here repeat that Mexico
should encourage this institution
and others of like nature and thus
make this city a manufacturing
centre, thereby causingit to increase
rapidly in population. This would
make every piece of property in
Mexico increase in value about
double what it is now worth. We
need a demand for labor in Mexico.
We want work for all parties. We
think clay industries are particular
ly beneficial, ina5much as three
fDurth> OF the money made thereby
is clrcuIat. d IL our immediate midst.
We have the clay, a superior and
desirable quality. We have the
coal in an excellent and more than
likely inexhaustible quantity. Let
US encourage factories more in the
future than we have in the past.
We hope the stove-lining business
may continue to flourish in our
midst, and that Mr.. Elliott, under
whose management it has been SO
successful, will soon have increased
facilities to carry on his work and
be able to take care of all orders
sent him, which he has lately had
to refuse, being always more than
full. Some ten men are now work
ing for him and according to what
he says he receives sufficient orders
to keep twenty men constantly busy.
We certainly wish the enterprise
every success.

dimensions IS by 100 feet, has a

brick were made at Laddonia; the

the wood material and the work
