THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

President Cleveland absolutely re-
fuses to consent to any concessions In
the silver fight, says The Post. More
than this, hs will not promise to agree
to any recognition of silver, even
should the repeal bill be passed by
congress. This is the sum and SUBJ
stance of his position az reported by
senators who had conference with
him yesterday. 1t renewed the con-
fidence of friends of unconditional re.
peal, who asserted last evening their
unwavering faith in the final passage
OF the measure.
With the understanding that the
president is upon the platform Of un-
conditional repeal or nothing, sepa-
tors have settled themselves down for

How to Prevent Horn Growth.


Writing on the subject of dehorniDg
in recent bulletin, Professor Roberts
recommends the prevention of horn
growth in preference to its removal
after development With this object
in view he has been experimenting
and says his conclusions warrant the
following recommendations:
First-That for efficiency, cheapness
and ease of application, stick caustic
potash can be safely recommended for
preventing the growth of horns.
Second-The earlier the application
is made in the life of the calf the bet
ter.
The following are the directions for
applying the caustic:
The hair should be closely clipped
from the skin and the little horn moist
ened with water to which soap or a
few drops of amonia have been added
to disolv, the oily secretion of the
skin, so that the potash will more
readily adhere to the surface of the
horn. Care must be taken not to
moisten the skin except on the horn
where the potash is TO be applied. One
end of stick of caustic potash is dip
ped in water until it is slightly soften
ed. 1t is then rubbed on the moisten-
ed surface of the little horn.
This operation is repeated five to
eight times until the surface of the
horn becomes slightly sensitive. The
whole operation need only take a few
minutes, and the calf Is apparently in
sensible to it. A slight scab forms
over the surface of the budding horn
and drops off in the couse of a month
or six weeks, leaving a perfectly
smooth poll.

CEN. Suffers mEMoRy.
It Never Failed Hlm-Hs Cosld sleep
When He Pleased.

Two wonderful things about Ben
Butler were his memory and his power
for sleep. A Washington corresponds
ent told me the other dry how he
called upon him one day for interview.
General Butler had been working right
along for eighteen hours and be was
still at work when the correspondent
entered. He heard his request and
then said:
II would like to talk to you but my
mind is full of this case, aud / will
have to sleep first. If you will wait
twenty minutes / will give you an in
teryiew."
"All right" said the correspondent,
and Butler went into the next room.
At the end of twenty minutes he came
out as fresh rs a daisy, and his mind
was as clear as a bell. He had slept
just twenty minutes, and i am told
that he could sleep at any place. He
often slept in his chair in his office,
and neither his mind nor his memory
ever seemed to fail him. He was noted
for his kindness to his friends, and
when he q elected Governor he was
surrounded by onice-seekers. One Of
these, named Smith, came up to him
and said: General Butler, / have
done all l could to have you elected,
and want you to remember me now
when you come into your kingdom"
"Ah." said General Butler, "what is
your name"
Smith vas the reply. Il have
worked for you for years.
"Ah, Smith. 1t seems to me that ]

at a convention just fifteen years ago.
You promised to vote for me and YOU
voted for my opponent. No, Mr.
Smith, l don't think l shall need YOU.

she must not take any fruit without

mother said to her:
"Now, Grace, you must go directly
into the closet and ash God to forgive

can none of us claim q total exemption
from that greatest of all ills to which

to lessen the chances Of mourning it, and
this not alone by he adoption OF such

preventive medication when the system is
threatened by unhealthful influences.
For instance, residents or s%oiourners in
malarious localities should use Hostel

chills and fever, and persons who incur

it as a safeguard against rheumatism.

Monday, May 1, at 10 o'clock 3. M,
President Cleveland will touch an cleo
trio button, setting in motion the wheels
of the Worlds Columbian exposition.
After long contention between two fac
tions Of the local directors, one of
which desired to have the ceremonies
held in the small hall in the presence
of about 1900 invited guests, the board
OF control suddenly concluded that it
had something to say concerning the
opening program and determined that
the exercises shall be held in
the open air. This decision is
due to the board and lofty pub
lie spirit of President Palmer, of
the national commission, and Director
General Davis. both Of whom have
from the first advocated open-air core
monies. These gentlemen concluded
that the best place for the ceremonies
would be on the plaza in front of the
administration building, and opposi-
ton to this plan fell away after the
board of control officially declared in
its favor.
The administration building stands
ut the head of the grand basin, which
is 300 feet wide. Between the basin
and the building is n big square,
which, it is estimated, will accommo-
date 100, 900 people. North of the
basin, and running to the lake, is
another broad walk, fronting the
mines and mining, electricity and man
u%factures buildings. On the south side
Of the basin is another walk extending
along machinery hall and the agri-
cultural building to the lake. This is
the central portion Of the worlds fair
grounds. and the one on which the
most expenditure has been lnvishcd.
Looking eastward from the administra-
ton building the eye sweeps over the
broad basin to the peristyle, between
the lofty columns of which may be
seen the lake. For these reasons
it was deemed fitting to let the
people gather in the choicest por-
ton of the grounds to see the cere-
monies To increase the accommodate

worlds fair tickets at any station and
avoid delay Mt the gates on the Trans

Trains OF five cars will be run at two

passengers per hour can be safely and

The Wabash avenue cable line ex-
poets to carry $4,000 passengers per
hour. This number can be increased
to 10000 during the rush hours norm
ing and evening. Tho State street
cable line will carry the same number
of passengers connecting with the park
by means of electric roads on Sixty
first and Sixty-third streets. The fare
on the cable roads is 5 cents, trains be-
ing run one minute apart.
The Illinois Central road has eight
tracks, four OF which are devoted to

tions between Randolph street and

runsat three-minute intervals on the

on the suburban service. Depots and
train sheds have been constructed, at
Sixticth street, which is the main en-
trance to the exposition grounds and
midway plaisance. This service will
accommodate $4,000 passengers per
hour. Fare for the round trip, 25 cents.
The Baltimore and Ohio and the
Northern Pacific roads will run trains
into the grand terminal station inside
the grounds ut the rate of 10000 pas
sengers per hour. These trains will
start from the Central station at Fifth
avenue and Harrison street. The trip
on these trains will occupy about sixty
minutes. as frequent stops are made in
the west division of the city to accom-
modate the residents of that district.
These trains run west to Western ave-
nue., three miles from the lake front,
south to Ninety:first street, east to
