Muzzling the Press.

Boston, Sept. 2S.AThe injunc-
tions laid upon newspapers by
Judge Barker, of the Supreme
court yesterday, fOrbidding any
reporter commenting on the breach
of promise case of Van Holten VS..
Morse, were obeyed, and morning
papers today contain no report of
the case. Judge Barker's action is
the talk of the town. Among the
lawyers it is believed there has
been an understanding among the
justices of courts chat hereafter
cases are to be tried in the courts
and not in the newspapers" as one
of the legal fraternity puts it.

Illinois was the only gentle
man who objected yester-
day to have a certain paper

Wool Growers in Convention.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The National
convention of Wool Growers is to
meet here today and tomorrow,
and the outcome will be a memo
rial to congress, protesting against
any change in the tariff on wool.
1t is understood that the resOlu-
tiOns of the Ohio wool growers will
be offered for Endorsement. They
are as follows:
"Resolved, that the wool grow
ers of the United States can, and
"with full and adequate protection
for the wool industry" will soon
produce all the wool and mutton
needed for consumption in the
United States.
"Resolved, That the free wool,
as now the declared policy of the
president and the Democratic ma
jority in Congress, will substan-
TALLY destroy the American wool
industry, and thereby injuriously
affect all others, especially de-
pressing the price of farm products
and impairing the valne of the
farms.
"Resolved, That the wool grow
ers of Ohio and of the United
States are earnestly urged to OPP
pose the nomination or election of
any candidate for any political Of
flee who will not favor full and adj
equate protection for the wool in
dustry.
"ResoIved, that inasmuch as the
recent panic and the continued
monetary stringency began with
the export of gold, one necessary
remedy is to SO legislate that we
will cease importing wool, which
comes chiefly from countries that
take substantially nothing from
us in return but gold

the Ohio organization, is expected

The Congress of Missions.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The Worlds
Cong ress of Missions will convene
today and continue until Oct. 5.
The subject will be introduced
from the centre-City Missions-a
subject of the highest Importance,
and one which has been neglected
in the general discussion hitherto.
Widening out from this will be the
general subject of Home Missions,
it's problems, methods, agencies
and the errors in management
which experience has brought
to view. The. subject will cover
the subordinate agencies of
Sunday schools, young peo-
pies societies and associations, the
printing press, the methods of sus-
tanning, and kindred topics. The
subject OF cooperative work be-
tween the denominations should
have a large place. The Congress
will then extend the discussion to
foreign missions. AT this point the
Congress will set before the world
some things which it owes to mis-
sions, in their reflex influences up
on commerce, science and spiritual
life, as we'll as in their direct in
tluence upon the industrial, social.

Lamplighter Against Tammany.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The race
between Lamplighter and Tam
many at Guttenburg today has
aroused as much interest as the
famous Salvator-Tenny event of
two years ago. The Hudson County
Jockey club hangs up a purse Of
$1,000, and $500 a side is bet on
the respective horses by their own
ers, making purse of $4,000 for
the winner. The distance is one
mile and a quarter, each horse to
carry l22 pounds. Garrison will
ride Tammany, and Taral
Lamplighter. Mr.. Walbaum, the
owner of Lamplighter, has the ut
most confidence in his great horse,
while Matt Byrnes, who has train
ed Tammany for Marcus DAILY
with the greatest skill and care,
thinks there is no horse quite so
good as Tammany. The event eX-
cites the greatest interest among
the racing fraternity, as the meet
ing of these two cracks has long
been the subject Of the deepest
interest and speculation among
the racing public, and both horses
have host of admirers who will
bet their last dollar on the result.
Mr.. Walbaum expressed himself
as greatly pleased at having
brought the match about, while
Matt Byrnes' face clearly showed
that he, too, was equally gratified.
In case Of the withdrawal of either
horse, except for some unavoidable
reason, the one withdrawn forfeits
the side bet of 5000.

Washington Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - SEN
ators in private conversation con-
firm the intimatiOns made on the
floor of the Senate yesterday, that
there is a movement on foot look
ing to bringing together the Dem
ocratic and Republican senators
who favor the passage Of the bill
repeating the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act, for the purpose
of fastening action. One of the
plans contemplated is holding night
sessions. The program has not been
entirely perfected because of the re-
fusal of some senators to agree,
but it is hoped by those who have
the matter in hand, to have the
scheme so far agreed to, to put 1t
through on next Monday. Some
Republican senators are under
stood to be holding out against
the proposition.
Rear Admiral Aaron w. Weaver
has been placed on the retired list.
j. b. Garrison, deputy first comp
troller Of the currency, has been
requested to resign.
Senator Hill has introduced a
bill that is intended to recOgn ize
the telegraph operators who served
during the rebellion as military
men, entitled to honorable dis
charge, if their services justified it.

DANGEROUS PASTURAGE.
A Curious Custom That Prevails In Hol
land.

| The Zuyder Zee is kept back from a
number of little villages on the coast
of Holland by q great dixie that con-
meets sand-dune-w with sand-dune. Dur
| ing the low water of summer the sea
retires for long distance and the I'M
covered shore becomes fine pasturage,
giving the farmers a chance to convert
their own meager grass patches into
hay for the winter. In Artist Life by
! the North Sea-" printed in the Century
Magazine, the author gives curious
bit of local history and custom.
Unfortunately this provision of ma
ture, he says, cannot be enjoyed by all.
1t is bequest TO these villages from
the countess who died in the year 1912
To speak exactly, each DIES rendant OF
resident of the villages of Laren. Blan-
cum and HuiZen, of that date, has in
herited the right to pasture seven Cows
This privilege cannot be bought or
sold; it can be acquired only from an
ancestor of the village of that date.
When the spring comes the cattle are
driven to the pastures, where they re
main for the summer. Their owners
commonly live miles away, and it neces-
states two daily milking trips, on
which they jog over in a cart with the
cans and pals in midday and at mid
night.
The pastures are hundreds of acres
in extent, and for a long time it puz-
zled us TO see how an owner could find
his cows on a dark night; but we dis
covered that they have trained their
animals to come TO a certain place at
the same hour each day and night by
always carrying to them some dainty
in the shape of salt or potatoes.
During the summer months these
pastures are used without danger, but
in the autumn the succession of north
erly gales, III con junction with high
tide, will put the land many feet under
water. Sometimes the inundation is
so sudden that the cattle are caught
by the rising waters and drowned. So
at the beginning of September watch
men are always stationed on the dixie
to keep 4 sharp lookout upon the sea.
The church towers of the villages
are all in sight of one another, and the
Huizen tower is in close conmunica-
ton with the dixie With rise Of the

up two, which Is a danger signal; but
If it rises fast, three, which says: Great

and at three lights the alarm bells are
rung This was the alarm we heard,
and in ten minutes the roads were
thronged with people on foot and on
horseback, rushing to the rescue Of the
herds.
This year none were drowned; but it
was perilous work. and the peasants
heaved long signs Of relief as they told
us the details and announced that the
cows ware safe in the stables for the
next six months.

In addition to his efforts to reduce the
pension roll, through the various methods
already widely published. Commissioner
Lochren has been directed by the presi-
dent, according to information from a
trustworthy source. to prepare a number
of bills to be introduced in congress, which
would drop large number of pensioners
should they become laws. - Fort Scott
Monitor.
If the dominant party in the next
congress has any regard for consistency,
any and all of such proposed bills will
be sat upon without ceremony. Not
withstanding the howl that ascends
from the Democratic camp about pen
sion frauds it is fact that that party i'll
congress has always We'd with the Re-
publicans in the enactment of pension
legislation, and for them to repeal those
laws now under the charge of fraud
would be to acknowledge themselves a
party TO the fraud. Still, if the admin
istration demands it it will probably be
done. Consistency, precedent, justice
and considerations of that sort cut no
figure in shaping Democratic action.
