Commander-in-chief Adams of the Grand
Army has issued a circular calling upon
every veteran of the war to report any case
of pension fraud which may come under
his observation. Commander Adams be
lieves that the statement of President
Cleveland that thousands OF neighbor-
hoods Have their well-known fraudulent
pensioners" cannot be substantiated and
he asserts in his circular that the Union
veterans are as anxious to guard the treas
ury of the United States in time Of peace
as they were to protect its flag in time of
war.

A New Fish story,

Among the latest batch of fish stories is
the following, the invention of Watham,
Mass, correspondent of Forest and Stream (:
Last winter while catching chubs for live
bait caught small salt water perch. He
was kept alive for over two months in a
cold clubhouse. Every night the water,
fish and all, would freeze to a solid cake !;
every day he would be melted out, and in a
short while he would be as lively as ever.
He must have been frozen and thawed out
at least 40 times without receiving the
slightest injury"

TELLER SPEAKS

When he had concluded the repeal
ing bill ION which he had spoken) was
laid aside, and the national bank cirCu-
lation bill was taken up to allow Mr..
Teller to finish the speech which he
had begun yesterday. Mr.. Voorhees,
gave notice, however, that after the
morning business tomorrow he would
ask the senate to take up the repeal
bill and do SO from day to day subject
of course to his desire to accommodate
senators.
Mr., Teller then proceeded with his
speech. He assumed (from newspaper
articles which he quoted) that a scheme
had been organized early in the season
in New York for the purpose OF Great
ing financial panic that would compel
at an extra session the repeal OF the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman act.
He would not by his vote, put any more
power into the hands Of the banks. He
would not enable them any longer to
paralize the business OF the country as
they were dSing to-day. II he had q
fair opportunity to wipe them out he
would wipe them out as quickly as he
could. He was opposed to the present
system. He desired to withdraw from
the banks the privileges they now pos
sessed.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Teller's
speech the senate went into executive
session and when the doors were re-
opened, adjourned.

ed her for shoal water. The stokers
we're supplied with stimulants aud
food, and every effort made to reach
shoal water before the vessel sank. All
nightthe vessel ran in the storm the
passengers expecting death every min
ute.
Early Monday morning the steamer
was heard humping and scraping
against the bottom, and the passengers
knew they had reached shoal water.
The vessel was run as far aground aa
possible. She could not be gotten to an
easy place, however The huge waves
broke over her with increasing force
and beat the boat to pieces.
Not life was lost from aboard the
ship. The passengers were moved
first from one eide to the ether low
water portion Of the ship, where the
waves seemed to bat with less force.
No signs of rescue appearing, and
the boat being undoubtedly doomed,
Captain Savage took steps to save his
passengers. Monday afternoon small
boat with three sailors who volunteered
from the crew were sent out to find
place on the shore where the boats
could land. They did not return and it
was not known whether they reached
the shore or not.
Tuesday morning the two life boats,
the only two left, were manned, the
first officer being in command Of one
and the second Of the other. Four OF
the strongest sailors OF tho crew were
picked for each boat. The boats were
filed with women aud children, about
fifteen In all, including tho stewardess
and female employees Of the Sa-
vannah. DR.. g. w. Lamar and an
other passenger, being young and

to go in the boats, which they did. Dr..

A TEST OF ENDURANCE.


INC silver h1eu frOpoho toOpbtruCt AcLlnn
in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, D. O., August So.-The
silver debate in the senate is to be made
a test OF physical endurance. This, at
least, is the programme which the sen.
ators from the silver states announce.
Mr.. Teller, OF Colorado, says he has
brought his winter clothes with him
and will wear them before uncondition.
al repeal shall pass. The senator's from
the silver states stand alone in this de-
formation. They will not be aided to
any great extent by free coinage Demo.
Gratis, unless Mr.. Morgan, Of Alabama,
should take q hand. But most of the
free coinage Democrats, IL is believed,
agree with Mr.. Hill that to tilibuster on
this question would be to lower the
character Of the senate and diminish
public respect for its deliberations.
Threats analogous to those ascribed
to these have been heard before, but
somehow, after two or three weeks OF
talk and almost continuous night ses-
sions, a compromise has been reached
and an agreement entered into for a
vote to be taken at fixed time. Little
doubt is entertained that this will be the
result in this instance. The supply Of
ammunition OF the silver senators is
not exhaustible. They have been
prodigal OF its use in the debates here
tofore held.
Should the debate be unreasonably
prolonged the contest may be tempo
rarily transferred from the silver ques-
tion to the amendment OF the senate
rules SO as to permit OF cloture. With
the retirement of Mr.. Edmunds from
the senate the most influential oppo-
neat of change of the rules was with
drawn. Mr.. Sherman and other promi.
nent senators who once agreed with the
Vermont senator on this point have
changed their views, and it would not
require much provocation to cause the
senate to take UP in dead earnest n
proposition to impose some other limi-
tation besides senatorial courtesy on
endless and profltless debate.

appointment of marshals and super.

When cows are fed on sour or moldy en-
silage, it gives an unpleasant flavor to the
milk, cream or butter, but if the milk is
heated before setting to 135 degrees this
tainted flavor is all removed; or, if the
milk is set without heating, then the flavor
may be corrected by heating the cream,
when perfectly sweet, to the same temper
ature, and the butter will be perfectly free
from the tainted flavor. The writer at one
time fed clover that was put into the silo
whole, and had become moldy at the out
side; the cows ate it eagerly, but the
milk was so badly tainted that good butter
could not be made from it until the milk
was heated as above stated, when the but
ter had not trace of the bad flavor.
Turnip flavor may also be removed by
heating the milk before setting. But the
flavor of onions or leeks is too pungent to
be removed by such heating. When cows
have been suffered to drink from stag
nant pools in dry seasons, the milk is not
only injured in flavor but in healthfulness.
If such milk is heated to 140 degrees the
ill-favor is dissipated, and the butter
made from it healthful. 1t also frequently
happens that cows eat more or less ILL
favored weeds in pasture, giving disa-
greeable flavor to milk and butter, but
nothing is an effectual remedy for this.

The Hens in Winter.

One of the best articles of diet to make
hens lay in the winter is cabbage. The
outer leaves of the heads that are used on
the table should be given to them. They
should not be chopped up, as many think,
but should be tied in bunch and hung up
by stout string from some beam. Then
let the fowls peck at the bunch until there
is nothing left. They enjoy working for
their living, and there is nothing better for
them. One great fault with winter fowls
is that they have their food prepared for
them so carefully that they have no ambi-
ton to walk and scratch. Occasionally a
whole head of cabbage should be hung up
in this way. In the time of harvesting
cabbages all of the inferior heads that will
not do for market should be gathered and
kept in a cool place near the poultry yard.
There are both lime and soda phosphate in
cabbages, which greatly increase the laying
powers of the hens.
Meat mixed up with the scraps of crumbs
from the table should be fed to the chick
ems at least once week. One of the best
forms of meat is good liver, for this is
highly relished and of great benefit.
Where bone can be ground up fine in a
mill it is we'll to feed itSwith the meat
There are certain mineral elements in the
ground bone that give muscle and sinew
to the chickens in the winter, and at the
same time appear to stimulate their laying
capacity. CultiudtOr.
