WILLIAM EwATT GLADSTONE rounded cut his eighty-fourth year on Friday. The world marvels, as it has marvelled on every recurrence of this anniversary for good many years past, at the vigorous ac- tivity. intellectual and physical, which ac- companies this advanced age, And each year the wonder grows. Each year this grand old man. so far past the allotted span of human life, undertakes some new work, shoulders gaily some new burden, undertakes the responsibility of some new enterprise with all the force, cagerness and confident forward look to the future that youth itself could command. It Is diff cult to realize the fact that Gladstone has been a power Ill public life during period i'll which men have been born and grown oll. Mo,r thnn sixty years nco he was elected {" q seat in parliament. lie held d place ill tho Feel cabinet in the '3Os. He was chancellor of the eXchequer forty years ago. A quarter of century ago he had risen to the position of prime minister, directing the course of the greatest empire on earth. Gladstone's career anted4tes the memory of all but the old men of the present generation; it's influence reaches out into the future in advance of the aspirations of even the youngest who have come upon the field of action. It is the most wonderful record of the century. And the most wonderful feature of this ex- traordinary career is its steady advance toward broader humanity and more | benefcent service.

A Friend of tho Farmer.

The hop growers of Otsego county have discovered what naturalists have long been trying to make farmers under stand-that skunks, instead of being their enemies, as they formerly supposed are among their most useful friends. As one hop grower expressed it, Nowadays we protect skunks as carefully as we do song birds"
 Hop yards, it appears, are infested by a certain kind of grub which gnaws of the tender vines at the root, and this grub is the favorite food of the skunk.
 As general thing the skunks sally forth at nightfall, but now and then they are to be seen at work in broad daylight. The proceeding is an interesting one to watch.
 The skunk begins his quest on the edge of the yard, where he cocks his head over a hill of hops and listens. If grub is at work upon one of the four trailing vines, his quick ear is sure to hear it. At once he begins to paw up the earth, and presently he is seen to uncover the grub and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
 Then he listens again, and if he hears nothing proceeds to the next hill. And so he goes on till he has had his fill.
 Now that the skunks are no longer molested. they have become compara- lively fearless Sometimes, we arc told. they keep up their operations even while the cultivator is driven between the rows.-Cor. New York Tribune

Each woman was bare headed, but each wore ribbons i'll her hair and bright c0iorcl shawl or apron The strangers attracted q great deal of attention as they struggled ,lI Broadway from the Battery with their handles. They evidently found ;s much novelty in their surroundings as the New York CTS found in their quaint apIearance The women apparently had the keeEcst observation and pointed out to their more stolid male companions various ob- jects as the party moved along.
 At Rector street they saw flower stand, and half a dozen of the women gathered about it and gave vent to volu- ble expressions of delight They dragged some of the men before the stand and gesticulated violently. The men tried to pull away from them, but could not After awhile some pieces of money came out of the mems pockets, and with much eagsrness and chattering the wom- en selected one flower apiece.

 179O. He studied law and soon after be- coming of age emiglSted to Indiana, floating down the Ohio river from Pitts burg to where Jeffersonville now stands. He was admitted to the bar in Clark county, and soon afterward got an ap pointment as clerk to the receiver of pub lie money at NinCcnneS. On tho organ ization of the territorial legislature he was ,nado the first clerk of that body, and later in the same year was elected first delegate to congress-
 After the adoption of the constitution in 1916 he was elected governor of the new state and reelected in 1918. Dur ing this year President Monroe ap- pointed him on the commission which negotiated the thew purchase' from the Indians. and an attempt was made to eust him from the governorship on the ground that he had violated the law prohibiting the holding of more than one office. The attempt failed, and ill 1920 he was one of the commission which located the capital at Indianapolis.
 In 1929 Governor Jennings was elected to congress from the Second district and was afteIward re elected for three successive terms. On his retirement he was appointed on the Indian commission of 1882, and two years later he dled. Although to Jonathan Jennings be- longs the honor of being the first gov ernor of the state, William Henry Har- rison was the first territorial governor.

FRUITS of the Mckinley tariff and the overproductlon it entailed are ripening at the custom house in New York, where the receipts for December as estimated in the auditors division, will not only fall below those of any other month of this year, but may be the lowest on record. It is be- ieved that they will be less than S5, 5OO,- GOO. Receipts so small at that port have not been known in any month since De- cember, 1875, when the amount was S5,- 349, ,574. The next lowest receipts were in April, 1865, when they amounted to S5,- 392, ,099. Acting Auditor Knapp says that while imports may have been checked by the prospect of lower duties under new tariff, the decline was chiefly and logically due to the evil effects of the present law.

The Work of q London Writer.

1T. P" stands alone among popular journalists in that practically all his work is done for one paper, The Weekly Sun, of which he is the founder and ed itor. He knows as well as any one the value of his own pen, and he takes care to write the most important parts of the paper himself and to append his famous initials to all his work. A casual glance through a number of the paper will serve to show the amount and variety of his weekly labors.
 First there is review of the ''book of the week." which invariably extends over five closely packed columns. This article, always conspicuously brilliant, would be good two days work for any writer. Then there are the editorial notes from one to two columns; an inter- view with some celebrity, one column; theatrical critiques, two or three col umns, and lastly a few paragraphs on the correspondence page. All these are signed TT. F." Yet MT. O'Connor con- trives to keep in the forefront of the political battle and also to write an oc- casional book.-London Tit-Bits.

Two Charges.

There was suit tried in the United States circuit court at Raleigh some years ago in which Baltimore commis- sion house was plaintiff and General Bryan Grimes, who led the last charge at Appomattox, was defendant. Judge Bond, who presided, was strongly anti southern during the war and citizen of Baltimore. The late Governor Fowle, who was very eloquent lawyer, repre- sented General Grimes, and in his ap- peal to the jury laid full stress on the character and record of his client and dwelt eloquently on tho Hast charge at Appomattox." Coming out of the court, he said to the opposing counsel (now Judge Fuller of the United States land claims court), Fuller. that last charge at Appomattox has got me the jurye "Yes," said Fuller very quietly; ''and that last charge of Judge Bond has got me the verdict" And so it proved.- Green Bag

TO-DAY we enter upon a new year, and the indications are that increased pros perity will succeed the panic which made 1893 one of the most disasterous that not only the United States, but the entire world, has experienced in decade. With free raw material in sight the manufactur- ing industries must take on fresh vigor Then let us enter upon 1894 with cheer ful hopeful spirit, and with a fixed deter imitation to look upon the bright side and D all in our power to make it exceptional

A New Granite Monument Marks His Grave
 at Charlestown.
 After 60 years of neglect Indiana has erected at CharlcstOwn a monument tC her first governor, Jonathan Jennings. It is of New Hampshire granite, nearly eight feet in height, and marks the place of the governors burial on a hillside i'll the old cemetery at the edge of the town. Governor Jennings died on his farm, about three miles west of CharleStOWn, on July 26, 1884, and no stone ever mark ed his resting place until this monument was erected.
 It is a great debt which Indiana has thus tardily paid, She owes her exist ence as state to a bill which Jonathan Jennings introduced ill congress Ill 1916 when he was her territorial delegate, and she owes him much besides. He was president of the convention which framed her constitution, and it was in great measure due to his vigilance that noth ing favorableto slavery was incorporated in the organic law of the state. He was one of the commissioners who negotiated the treaty with the Pottawatolny and Miami Indians in 1S32, and saved lndi ana from the bloody fate which overlook Wisconsin and Illinois in the Black Hawk war of that year.
 Jonathan Jennings was born in Nir ginia in 17St and reared in Fayetto cOull- ty, Pa, whithcr his family removed iH

To Make Football Less Brutal.

There has been so much public clamor against the brutality of football as it is now played that the game will be materially modified before the next season opens. Prominent ex-football players who have great influence over the college teams have been agitating the matter quietly, with a view to making the game more open and interesting to look at, and at the same time to remove the brutal features in the shape of flying wedges, mass plays and rough in- reference.
 A committee consisting of recognized football authorities from Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the University of Pennsyl- vania will soon be appointed, and it is pro- posed to change the present rules of the In tercollegiate Football association. It is possible that the committee will consist of Walter Camp, Billy Rhodes and J osh Hart we'll of Yale; Billy Brooks, George Stewart and Arthur Cumnock of Harvard Tracey Harris, Alex Moffat and Phil King of Princeton, and George Woodruff and eN- Captain II.

Special Corres0ondcnce.

WAsHINGTU2., Dec. EG.-In nearly every administration there is power behind the throne-some man who has access always to the presidential ear. q man to whom the
 president is ever ready to turn for sugges- tions or advice, and who thereby is able to
 exert an enormous, though perhaps unseen, influence upon the government of his coun- try. The present administration is no ex- ception to the rule. It, like most of it's predecessors, has a 'power behind the throne' The lucky individual in this case is none other than Don NJ. Dickinson of De troit. Mir. Dickinson is nearer to MT. Cleve- iand, possesses to 8 greater degree his con- fidence, than any other man in the world, if possible exception be made in the case of Dan Lamont. The friendship between Dickinson and Cleveland is the more re- markable because they are wholly differ ent types of men. The president is large,

Silk worms are not the sole source oi the production of silk; it is also obtained from several vegetable substances, but of an inferior and less durable descrip- ton. Excellent colored silk is obtained from the prepared and finer fbers of the bamboo, which is much in demand for clothing in tropical countries from it's lightness and porosity. Another form of silk is obtained from the pods of the silk cotton tree, of which there are several varieties in existence, the material ob. tained from them being known as vege- table silk.

ower of endurance and mental stability.


 The president of the United States is one of the few men in this country who never get any rest. His station is so high, the matters and the men with whom he has to deal so numerous, the questions which he must concentrate his mind upon so vari- ous and so fraught with importance to the country and to his reputation, that even when the holidays come, or the vacation, he cannot sstop. He must work at his desk in his reception room or with his mind all the time. The wonder is that Mr. breaking down.
 Nor is this all. Does any one imagine that a man can lead the life Mr. Cleveland has led for 10 years without strains upon his mental fiber, his nervous system, which will leave their marks? The conventions the campaigns, the suspense, the election days, the speeches, the public appearances all contribute to q state of tension which wears and eXhausts. Thus the fact has come about that, after the campaign of last year, starting with the ante-convention period with it's peculiar endorsements and anXicties, the closing days of the great battle, the winter of cabinet meetings and consultations, the inauguration, the ordeal of forming a new government and dispos- ing ot the hordes of office seekers, the long summers work on the silver question, the worries of the Hawaiian and tariff Ques- tions and treasury situation that has de- manded his closest attention, MT. Cleve- land is not now altogether himself.
 It would be eXtravagant to say that he is breaking down. It would be malicious to say that his mind is giving way. But he is irritable; he is easily worried he is quick to see the gloomy side of things; he is sensi- tive; he is, in short, suffering from a loss of nervous force. The long strain has had it's effect While A1r. Cleveland himself laughingly refuses to admit that he is los ing his mental and nervous ruggedness, his intimates perceive that this is true. They are worried as to what the future may bring forth. They do not hesitate to say that if AIr. Cleveland goes on at the pace he has followed for the last year through out the remainder of his term there will be grave danger of a collapse. He will suffer nervous prostration, or some physical dis order will supervcnc. Therefore efforts will be made, whenever opportunity offers, to get Mir. Cleveland away from Washing ton for few weeks rest. In justice to himself he should seek to get away from the cares of his office.
