THE PARTISAN IDEA IN AMERICA.

Recently, says The St-Louis Globe
Democrat, there was formed horse
flesh club in Philadelphia, and this for
time prospered, although if it still
exists 1t does not keep the public post
ed as to its progress or It's financial
standing. 1t started ont to popular
ize horsefiesh by dinners at which no
other meats were served, but the ex-
pertinent did not prove a great sue
cess. the difficulty in securing fat
young horses at anything reasonable
IN price by weight again asserted it
self. More successful among the diet
clubs are the associations for the pur
pose of tabooing beef. mutton and
pork, not as the horsefesh lovers pro
pose by substituting another meat,
but by making it an offense against
club ethics to eat meat at all. There
are comparatively few vegetarians in
the west, but in the eastern and
European cities there are plenty OF
abstainers from animal food. and the
clubs are numerous.

NEW VIRGINIA WONDER.

Within half mile of the Natural
Bridge IN Virginia, some boys not
long since came to a round hole in the
side of mountain. Making their
way into it, they found a series of
arched caverns hung with beautiful
stalactities. Further exploration dis
covered a stream, and reward was
offered to the person who should find
its outlet. They followed its windings
until they saw thin line of light, and
after a while with lighted newspapers,
sent smoke through the crevice so
that those on the outside could mark
the end of the labyrinth.
A tunnel was driven, and the fresh
an which was thus permitted to draw
through the caverns whitened them
so that the ascending passage was
named the Marble Staircase"
1t is between 400 and 500 feet in
length under a beautiful series of
arches shaped like the interior of a
horseshoe magnet from ten to twenty
feet in height. At the middle way
there is side room, with a waterfall
of stalacites about twenty feet in lengh.
Upon nearly all the walls are crystalli-
cations, and the whole effect is exceed
ingly brilliant. 1t is almost impossible
to believe that this is a natural pas
sage created by water and gases
through fissure of limestone rock. SC
perfect are the grained ceilings, SO
polished are the walls and so adapted
To 1ISp bIlt the bnholdpr GAN hardly
escape the impression that it was cut
with design.
Illuminating apparatus has been
put int the grottoes, and two or three
days ago this second wonder of that
picturesque region was opened with
ceremony, many hundred school chill
dren and university students assisting
1t was formally named the Isabella
Staircase"

BOYS WHO USE TOBACCO.
They Can Not C",nnata sfe Athletics witt
Those who Do Not Use 1t.

All observant teachers are aware of
the effects which the use of tobacco
has upon schoolboys 1t is declared
by men of long experience in teaching
that smoking makes boys sluggish and
that the capacity for study is greatly
impaired. Recently, says the Balti-
more SIN, Investigations have been
made to ascertain the effect of tobac-
co upon the physical development
The Board of Health of the State of
New Jersey has issued circulars to
teachers of the public schools of the
State containing interrogatOTieS upon
this subject Dr. Laban Dennis of
Newark, who has paid much attention
to the subject, has prepared an article
giving the results of some of his in
yestigations, which appears in the re-
port of the Board of Health for 1892.
1t seems that measurements made of
1877 students at Yale College showed
that the non-users of tobacco gained
over the users during the college year
in weight % per cent. in height 30 1-2
per cent, in girth of chest 10 per cent,
in lung capacity sc per cent. Measure
ments made at Amherst College show
ed even greater differences in favor of
those who do not use tobacco.
There is really but little temptation
for boys to smoke. In order to acquire
the habit they undergo agonies of
nausea, and the chief incentive to the
habit is, perhaps, the belief that it in
creases their Importance. 1t is useless
10 argue with them or to advise them
that they lower themselves in public
estimation by smoking, rather than
raising themselves. But if it is posi-
bic to convince them that their stand
inc in base ball or foot ball will be inn
paired by the habit, the more ambi-
tious boys will give up tobacco. OF
this the athletic associations bear
abundant testimony. Members of
them have reported that the use of to-
bocco is harmful TO young men in
training for contest which requires
strength and endurance.

HOEE SMITH NOT IN A ROW.
The Story That the President LeCtuTed
Him Absurd.

The Secretary's Pension Policy APP
proved by the Chief Magistrate.
Mr.. Smith in Full Sympathy With
the Hawaiian Policy of the Admin
istration-The Story That the Sec
retary Is Seekingra Legal Position
Also Untrue.
Washington, Nov 23-"The publica-
dispatches of an alleged scene between
the President and Secretary Hoke
Smith, - said Assistant Secretary of Inte-
rior John M. Reynolds, of Pennsylvania,
observes enough notice to call for an alb
solute and utter denial of every state
ment therein made. Secretary Smith is at
home with sick child, therefore, l will
undertake to say what believe he would
say if you could see him, namely, that
the assertion that the President lectured
his Secretary of the Interior after cabi-
net meeting is too ridiculous and
absurd to be noticed further
than to make an utter denial of it. No
reasonable man would believe that Presi-
dent Cleveland would pursue such a
course with any member of his cabinet.
The statement is the more absurd when
the assertion is made that the President
dsapproves the pension policy of the in
terror department. AS matter of fact,
the President fully approves the policy of
this department and believes IN making
the pension roll a roll of honor.
THE HAWAIIAN POLICY.
$50 far as the statement is concerned
in which the Secretary of the Interior is
depicted as being opposed to the Hawaiian
policy of the administration, l can say to
you that l know as matter of personal
knowledge that Secretary Smith is fully
in accord with the Hawaiian policy of the
administration and expressed himself as
being opposed to annexation before
his name was ever mentioned for q posi-
tion in the cabinet. Moreover, to be
in opposition to the Hawaiian policy Of
the administration, would be for him to
be in opposition to his friend, Commits
sioner Blount, who has been one of the
leading men in his home state, Georgia,
for many years, a man in whose judicial
fairness and peculiar fitness for ascer-
tanning the Hawaiian situation Secretary
Smith has complete confidence.
DON'T WANT TO RESIGN.
"The story that Secretary Smith is
seeking employment as dSSSlSGhnI az
torney for railroad corporation is simply
ridiculous, and especially in view of the
fact that he was in Georgia the leading
counsel in the foreclosure of two mort
cages on railroads, involving So 900 900.
He gave up a large and lucrative law
| practice to accept position in the cabi-
net, and it is very absurd to suppose that
he would now be seeking an assistant at
| torneyship.
''The whole tenor of the article" said
Assistant Secretary Reynolds, seems to
have been Of malevolent inspiration, with
| the purpose of conveying TO the public
mind absurd conceptions concerning the
Secretary of the Interior"

COWS WRECK A TRAIN.
The Fireman Killed and the Engineer
Badly Scalded.

birmingham, Ala, Nov. 23-A disas-
trous wreck occurred on the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham railroad, near
Carbon Hill, about sixty miles west of
here, this morning at 9:30 o'clock While
No. 10, fast east-bound freight from
Memphis, was coming down grade
through deep cut, between Carbon Hill
and Eldridge, it ran into drove
of COWS. The train was heavily
loaded and running at great rate
of speed down grade, and for that reason
could not be stopped very easily. A curve
Just beyond the place prevented Engineer
Barnard from seeing the COWS in time to
stop the train. Three of the COWS were
caught in the cut and the engine ran over
them, causing it to leave the track 1t
ploughed into the side of the cut and
turned over. All of the freight cars fol-
lowing it also left the track and were
piled up in heap of ruins.
CAUGHT UNDER THEIR ENGINE.
The engineer and fireman did not have
time to jump and went down with the en-
gine.
Fireman Mutwilder was caught between
the engine and the tender and scalded to
death.
Engineer Barnard was caught under
the wreckage and terribly scalded. He
was rescued by the other members of the
train crew in time to save him from a
terrible death.
Eleven cars were wrecked, nine of them
being almost completely demolished. The
other two were but slightly damaged.
The engine was badly wrecked.
An unknown man, who was riding on
one of the cars, is reported to have been
slightly hurt. He was not an employe,
but only dead-head. His injuries are
not serious.
THE ENGINEER's INJURIES.
Engineer Barnard's injuries are serious,
but the full extent OF them is not known
here yet. He is reported as being badly
scalded, and it is feared he will die He
is under treatment at Carbon Hill
The dead body of Fireman Mutwilder
will be brought to the city this evening
He was 80 years old and unmarried.
A gang of men are at work clearing up
the wreck, but as IL occurred in q deep
cut it will require some time to clear it,
The wreck could hardly have happened in
a worse place, either for the loss of life or
destruction of property. The cars that
were wrecked were loaded with hay and
grain
