Captain Porter not Connected with

A Tiffin, Ohio, special to Cleveland
PldindedLer has the following:
"Judge John McCauley and John Nj.
Beckey have enjoined the city council
of TiGin, O., from using the Mack
block in paving North Washington
street, and their petition charges that
corrupt methods were employed oy the
John Porter Company, manufacturers
OF the Mack block, TO secure It's adop-
tion. NJ. J.. Albright, member OF the
city council and proprietor OF grocery
store. states that the Porter Company's
representative, Thomas McCOnville,
offered him 81, 600 TO vote for and secure
the baggage OF resolution adopting
tbe Mack block. Judge Schaulfelberg-
er has granted temporary Injunction
and IL is expected that interesting de-
yelopments will be made II the case Is
ever heard on its merits. g. b. Boren,
manager OF the John Porter works,
after his attention was called to the
publication, said that he bad already
telegraphed TO the COmpany's attorney
in Tsffin to bring suit for $4,000 dam
ages against Schaufelberger."
In JUSTICE lO bdpt' oOhh u 49,
New Cumberland, w. Va, II should be
stated that the John Porter Co., which
bears his name, was originated by him,
and he was at one time the sole owner
OF the corporation, but il has passed out
ef his hands, and he now has nothing
whatever to do with It. II is corpora
ton, however, aud It's name cannot be
changed. and his name 10 thus brought
before the public in a manner that Is
net naturally enjoyable to him.
OF the John Porter Co., John d.
Mack, OF Philadelphia, is president, G'
B. Boren. general manager, and Ihos'
McCouville, secretary.
The paragraph in the above clipping
about bringing a $1,000 damage suit
against the Sndge who issued the in-
junction, partakes very Largely OF the
nature OF big bluff carried out II
will be the first time ever a Judge was
held to answer for damages from bis
judicial action.
Mr.. Porter is building an extensive
fire and paving brick works OF his o"n'
which will be really for operation IL
about two months.
Frank McElfresh was out at the Pen
field works, near Cleveland, last week,
and saw the machinery for John Por'

Renovating Old Feathers.

The best way to renovate old feathers Is
to put them from the ticks into a barrel
Of hot suds They should be shaken out
under the water after thoroughly wash.
ing them in two or three barrels of suds.
Rinse them thoroughly. Place them on
clean sheet on the floor in small, warm
room after wringing them thoroughly in
a cloth to extract all the moisture that
can be taken out in this way. Leave
them over night to dry on the sheet, then
remove them TO another and beat with q
stick, tying vail over the face and head
to prevent breathing the fluff or the
feathers that rise. In a few days the
feathers will be fine and dry. They can
also be dried by putting them in bag of
white mosquito netting, hanging them in
the sun and turning and beating them
occasionally. II one lives near steam
renovating establishment it is better to
send the pillow there, as they only charge
30 cents pillow to renovate them.

WILL BE BUSY.
THERE'S LOTS OF YORK FOR Law
MIXERS THIS WEEK.
The Closing of the Fifty-second Congress
Will BE characterized by . Rush OF
Legislation,

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The closing
week of the Sind Congress will be char
acterized by rush of legislation that has
seldom been equalled. AS there is not
time enough for all the many bills near
completion to pass, they must antegonize
each other and opposed to them all in
both Houses will stand the appropriation
committees urging immediate action upon
the great measures in their charge.
The fortiication bill is the only appro-
priatioD bill which has become a law at this
session. The army bill is before the Pres
ident for signature. The military and
District Of Columbia bills are in confer
ence; the sundry civil, the diplomatic and
consular and the legislative bills have
passed both Houses, but have not reached
the conference stage; the pension bill has
passed the House and been reported to the
Senate and the naval, agricultural, post
Office and deficiency bills are awaiting ac-
ton by the Senate committee on appro-
priations.
1t Is expected the four bills last named
will all be reported to the Senate by the
middle OF the week, and they will be TAX =
en- up for action as fast as reported. There
seems to be set purpose to prevent any
further executive session Of the Senate II
possible. The House advantage win be
taken of the rule permitting action dur
ing the last six days. of a session under
suspension of the rules to rush forward
business OF an urgent nature. The indi
cations are that II will be necessary 20
give most OF the time to the appropriation
bills.

Burton tells us in Anatomy of Mel
ancholy," part 8, section 8, that 'com-
parsons are odieus," and when it comes
to comparing man to flea it is not
TO be denied that he told the truth. In
this case, however, it is the flea that
should sue for libel, for the comparison
is one of strength, and after it has been
made "there will be none found to take
the side of the man" Years ago some
one incidentally remarked that a man,
were his muscles and limbs as well set
for jumping and springing as those of a
flea, could stand on the dome of the
capitol at Washington and make one
swoop that would send him three and a
half times around the earth. Late en-.
tomological experiments have given us
opinions equally as curious concerning
the strength of this obnoxious little
Hercules. To be brief and TO the point:
It has been proven that a flea can carry
a weight s5s times greater than that of
his own body. At this rate man of
the average weight of 154 pounds could
shoulder n "mogul" locomotive of 60
tons and run across the country from
New York TO San Francisco in less than
an hour and a half.

Queen vIctoria's Chickens.

When Queen Victoria was little
girl, before thoughts of the English
throne had ever entered her baby head,
she was the owner of very fine coop of
Cochin China fowls. There were very
large white roosters, beautiful, plump
hens and downy chicks by the dozen,
for the coop was a very large one. But
the pet of all the pets was big rooster,
who had learned to know his little mis-
tress and to follow her around the in
closure where he was kept. Many
photographs were taken of the Cochin
China fowls, and later, when the little
Victoria grew to be n woman and was
called to the English throne, she took
her Cochin China fowls with her and
had them installed at Grasse, one OF her
country seats. They are still at Grasse,
and for generation the Queens chill
dren and grandchildren have played
with them and admired them. Last
summer little Lady Alexandra Duff, the
Queens little great-granddaughter, was
taken TO Grasse, and one day her nurse
led her out to where there was n coop
of beautiful Cochin China hens and
chickens, all descended from the ones
the baby Victoria played with sixty
wears ago.

A MalinCerer.

A determined and desperate prisoner
will. strange to say, sacrifice his per-
sonal comfort and health and submit to
wearying hours and days of restraint,
lying ON the floor of his CELL pinioned In
figure of eight" unable to move,
and yet unwilling to move if allowed to.
Thus, after days, or perhaps weeks, of
futile warfare against superior powers,
capitulation will ensue, and good be-
havior may continue throughout the
sentence, which will be practically
heightened by reason of this miscon-
duct, large number OF marks insuring
a ticket-of-leave being lost, and thus the
entire sentence will, most likely, have
to be served in the lowest stage of prison
life, affecting the personal dietary of
the desperate.
1t is astonishing how much trouble q
convict will take TO be thought insane
and be sent to an asylum. Men will
spend days, if not weeks, standing
against the cell wall with an expression
of vacancy or extreme melancholy, hop
ing thus to be certified as lunatics.
Nothing seems to tire them when under
observation, nothing too arduous in
their deception or attempts at such.
Such generally overdo their part, and,
on being detected, are sent back to
work with promise of some punish
ment, at no distant epoch, if not very
careful, of summary and forcible
nature. There is thus IAN energy of

How pressc. disseminate paclrii. =

Prof. +. G.. Dixon, the English scien-
tist, has been experimenting upon the
manner in which the germs of tubercu-
losis are spread abroad by ladies'
dresses. He had a dress dragged over
the ground two or three times, and on
a glass slide was able to show no fewer
than seven tubercle bacilli, obtained, Of
course, from the dust and dirt swept up
by the dress. The practical lesson
taught by this fact seems to be that of
showing how, when trailing skirts arc
brushed in our homes, the germs of dis
ease or their spores get dissipatcd in the
air. and thus placed in a position 70 in
feet those who arc we'll. This Is another
and powerful argument against trailing
skirts.
