WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 90, 1898.

1t is given out by ''the powers that
be" in the Democratic party of this con.
gressional district that the presidential
post offices and other nice plums will moi
be given out until after the Fall election.
All the candidates are expected to come
up to the work of electing the Democratic
ticket. Those who s'kick" will have no
chance, and, parenihetically, it may be
said that only one of those who do not, in
each neighborhood, will get the post Of
fee. But II you want a post office un-
der the present Cornish bossism, you
must "stick to the ticket through thick
and thin."

Flremen want a New Law.

A dispatch from Mount Holly says -
An attempt will be made next Winter in
the Legislature TO have amended the law
regulating the disposition of the money
held by the relief fund associations con
nected with the volunteer fire departments
throughout the State.
This fund is created by an assessment
OF 2 per cent. upon the premiums of oil
outside insurance companies doing bust
ness In the State. Every volunteer de-
partment has relief association connected
with 1t and the Secretary of State and
Comptroller, who have the supervision of
the matter, divide the money equally
among them.
In small towns this fund has assumed
large proportions, the law requiring that
1t shall only be used to aid firemen who
meet with accident while In active service.
The fund here amounts to over So, 900
and during the eleven years of the exis-
tence of the association there have
been only benefciaries for small amounts.
The departments 10 these small towns and
cities are supported almost wholly by vol
untary contributions and there Is 4 con,
slant struggle to provide the necessary
1t is proposed TO introduce and act
this winter, amending the law SO that a
portion OF the accumulated funds, or the
interest thereon, may be appropriated an.
nually for supplies and apparatus for the
struggling departments In small cities and
towns.
The annual meeting OF the State Asso-
citation will be held In Lambertville on
the Goth of this month, when the matter
will be fully discussed and an effort made
TO have the legislative committee instruct
ed 10 frame proper amendment TO the
law. General Bird w. Spencer, president
OF The association, and undoubtedly the
most popular fireman in the State, having
been elected annually since the associa-
tion was formed, will be especially APP
pealed to by the rural representatives, to
give the proposed changes his sanction and
influence. Every town in the State is
interested 10 the matter.

The annual State Convention OF the
New Jersey Liquor Dealers Protective
League, at their session at Long Branch
the other day, took new departure.
They reached the conclusion that there
are now about people enough engaged in
the business OF dealing out intoxicating
fluids and adding TO the number would
decrease their profits. SO resolution was
adopted by their Executive Committee
asking the Legislature TO pass law pro-
hibiting the granting of any more licenses.

The weight of the earth i 1852
trillions of tons. The method by which
scientists obtain this result is a. fol-
lows: First, they ascertain the force
of attraction by certain bodies of
known dimensions, and then. the size
of the earth and its attractive force
being known, they work out the prob
lem in this manner; AS the size of the
earth is 10 that of the object tested. 81
would its attractive power be IL the
specific densities were the same, at
traction being in proportion To densi-
~. III the proportion of attraction is
not the same the earth and the other
body must be of different densities.
and IL then remains To Toe ascertained
what specific density of the earth, its
size being known, would give the at-
tractive power il il known To possess.
The average of several experiments
gave the carth's mean density as =. ts2.
or, in other words, the earth was "a
nearly as possible five and a half times
heavier than globe of water of the
same size. AS the result of careful
calculations, based upCn actual meas
urements, the solid contents of the
earth are 259,313 millions of cubic
miles. Taking these dimensions of tho
earth, il is easy 10 calculate its weight,

Concerning the remedial value of
buttermilk, the Medical Adviser says
that IL Is OF 40 much worth that IL has
gained distinct place in the "materia

the best physicians for chest and lung
ailments and in most forms Of kidney
troubles. An exclusive buttermilk
diet has seemed TO bring about cure
in many cases OF Bright's disease A
proper and constant use of 10 will
greatly reduce the cravings for alco-
holic liquors, with which many per-
sons are afflicted. The craving may
bo satisfied and the system benefited
and strengthened instead Of weakened.

acid needed In many cases il supplied
by IL much more than by any other
drink or food. n il said 20 alleviate

many old people suffer from, and IL

Apropos of our museums and picture
galleries, IL il hoped that the powers
that be will turn thoir attention To a
recent invention Of w. =. Simpson, G.
f., which promises to do away with
the dangers which all pictures, and es-
pecially water-color drawings. have
hitherto undergone from the disas-
trous effect OF light on pigments, says
a London special 10 the New York Trib-
une. Mr.. Simpson has, by an exceed
ingly simple device, made IL possible 10
frame all pictures, large or small, un-
der this desirable condition. The can
vas or painting is placed I'm n chamber
or paper box, either copper or alumi-
mum, according to tho size and weight
of the picture. The front of this cham
ber is OF achromatic glass, and by tho
use OF an air-pump all air behind the
glass IL exhausted and vacuum crc-
ated. The picture IL then replaced in
the original frame, the only difference
being that the colors appear consider
ably brighter and every detail more
distinct, owing 90 the absence of the
air formerly imprisoned between the
glass and the painting, and the substi-
tuition of achromatic for ordinary glass
Under these conditions the most deli
cate Turner water-color may bc exposed
To the full light OF the sun without any
danger Of fading. A picture once In
closed In a vacuum needs no further
cleaning or busting.

Surely IL would seem to be glory suf-
ficient for one State To be known tho
width of the world "a producing the
finest thoroughbreds, pretty women
and old bourbon, but there is another
leaf in Kcntucky's laurel. Although
tho statement Is made without any
deep comparative examination, IL cer-
tainly appears, of hand, that she has
furnished more material out of which
other States made Congress smen than
any other commonwealth I'm the Union.
II is positively surprising. Both Cul-
lom and Palmer OF Illinois were born
in her blue grass meadow. Call Of
Florida and Vest OF Missouri were born
there, and Senator Mills claims the
dark and bloody ground IA his native
heath. Scott County alone was the
birthplace Of four members Of the
present Congress. They are Senator
Palmer and Representative Hatch OF
Missouri, johnson Of Ohio and Black
Of Georgia. Such a coincidence would
not occur again in hundred years.
The future Of scott County will bc
watched with interest.

A DIFFICULT FEAT.


Ssisin. . Locomotive That Hsd Bess
Plunged Into the Mud and wf.ter.
A difiicult mechanical feat just ac-
complished at Porta Costa, Cal, Is
described Substantially as follows by
witnesses: On August 10, a
locomotive went through the big
ferry and plunged pilot first into
the waters OF CarQuinez Straits, the
tender and cars remaining on the
ferry-boaL The water was deep
enough TO cover the cab, but not
enough 10 let the boat out of the slip
The locomotive stood practically
vertical and its nose was deep in the
mud. On the night OF tho 18th a
large pair OF shears made OF 12xl2-
inch timbers crossed at the top was
built up on the end OF the boat and
some large pulleys hung where the
timbcrs crossed. Then diver spent
several hours in fastening a number
OF cables on either side of the frame
under the boiler Four engines were
attached to the ropes, but could not
start the locomotive, although the
strain was SO great that "a cable nearly
three inches I'm diameter was broken
Finding the appliances OF insufficient
strength the shears were doubled i'm
size, and nth engine taken on
board. On the 18th another trial
was made. IL was hard TO get the
engines TO pull exactly together, and,
rs their wheels would slip and re-
volve, the cables would snap and the
tackle generally would be badly
strained. Finally simultaneous
pull started the mass, and the cab
slowly appeared above the water and
the engine was gradually lifted until
somewhat higher than the floor Of
the ferry-boat. Tackle from "a steam
drcdger stationed In the front OF the
slip was then attached to the for
ward end OF the locomotive, which
was pulled out In this wav. The
shears were then swung slowly back
ward over the deck of tho ferry and
the engine gradually lowered to the
tracks IL had left When IL was
hauled TO the ncighboring round
house and the mud washed Oft IL was
found that but little damage had
been done beyond the splintcring OF
the cab by the cables.

day the remaining three w.uld-be rob-
bers were captured, and that night
they were hung 10 the same tree. The
six bodies on the one tree presented a
grewsome sight, and were permitted
10 remain there all of the next day.
The certainty that some such treat

Renos TO make a desperate fight against
extradition. When all was lost with
them they begged not 10 be taken

most desperate resistance, during
