Republican meeting on Seventh street
had Just adjourned because there was no
one present but three men, two boys and
= horse. A brother arose and introduced
a resolution OF coincidence to the lead
ers of the Republican meeting in partic-
uiar and to the party in general, and it
was adopted.
Mr.. Scott further said that the fight in
his district was very encouraging TO him

The women didn't want to be Bldefracked

they would furnish > speaker Of their

HOW SLATE is MINED.
The Wonderful skill of the workmen Who
Cut 1t Up.

The Wonderful Skill of the Workmen Who
Cut 1t Up.
The manner in which slate is mined
and cut up for purposes to which it is
applied is a process that is known to
only few people in this country. its
principal sources being in upper New
England and eastern Pennsylvania 1t
is not taken out of shafts, but it is quar-
ried out of big holes in the earth. Some
time ago, when the writer was at Ban
gor, Pa, he was invited to go down
into one of these quarries, about 200
feet deep and overland on rope, but
he declined the invitation, as l think
most inexperienced persons would do.
The slate is blasted ont in huge blocks
and is hoisted out by steam and turned
over to the men who know how to re-
duce it to the proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men. who cut notch into one end Of
each piece. Then they take chisel and
a mallet and they are SO skillful in di-
recting their blows that they can split
the blocks of slate in almost any way
they please If you watch the slab on
Wnlcn one OF tntul IL WOIhlllp, YOU Will
see a little hair line running through it.,
and presently the block will fall apart
on either side of this mark. The work
men will make this line go straight
through the middle, or TO either corner
| lust as he likes | do not know Just how
he does it, but he invariably accom-
plishes what he sets ont to do.
The smaller pieces thus produced are

/ who split them up into sheets of the
proper thickness for roofing slate. This
/ they do with a long bladed instrument
about the shape of a putty knife, bu'
many times larger, and if you saw
| them do il you would marvel how they

HAVE YOU TNDlGESTlONi
Perhaps There Is Hint For You In This
story of Some Ailing Chickens.

Troubled with indigestion, are you!
Feel all puffed mp, eh? Well, it's pity
that some one couldn't treat you the
way my brother-in-law' wife treated
her chickens That was when they lived
out in Lewistown, Pa.
Going to tell us another story now,
| suppose, like those about catching
herring i'll the grass and hunting shad
with dog and gun, amt you:'
Without paying any attention to this
sighting remark the Jerseyman went
on:
MY brother in laws wife had fine
crop of chickens that summer They
were all Matched that spring and were
growing well when one day the whole
flock got at bag of dry cornmeal and
filled their crops full of it, The first
thing my brotherin-law's wife knew
of this was when the meal began to
swell and turn sour, and the whole
troop of chickens We're waddling around
with crops twice their regular size and
every chicken looking like the bass
drummer in German band. You see,
the chickens either had got at water
| TOO soon or else didn't have gravel
| enough in their crops to grind up the
meal, and it wouldn't digest and seem
| ed likely to burst them.
There was no one by to give help or
advice, and my brotherin-law's wife
WASH going to lose that lot of more
than 100 fine chickens il she could help
it, so she started right in to do the best
she could The children caught the
chickens and brought them TO her, and
with her buttonhole scissors she cut a
slit i'll each one of their crops. She
| squeezed out the cornmeal, washed
their crops ont and sewed them uI
again. The chickens seemed grateful.
They were kept quiet for couple OF
days, fed lightly. and every one of them
recovered New York sun.

THE OLD GENERALS SCHEME.
Effective A. an Indian Exterminator, bnt
Too Nerciless to Try.

"A good many years ago the Co
manche Indians used to harry and an
noy the people of Texas by predatory
incursions, pretty much, | fancy, as the
Scottish highlanders did their brethren
who dwelt III less mountainous regions,
said Colonel Alf Mason of the Lont
Star State. ''The Comanches, too, haC

hooters of Scotia or the copper hueo
denizens of the American plains. The
Texans of course resented to the ut
most this conduct of the redskins, and
many brave paid the death penalty
for trying to get away with horses OF
COWS that did not belong to him.
Many a poor settler, too, in trying to
save his little homestead, fell victim
to the barbarous foe. Some unusually
cruel raids, in which number of white
women and little children were butch
cred, about the year 1863, in William
son county, not far from the state capi-
tai, caused the resentment of the people
to rise to a boiling pitch, and vengeance
was sworn against the whole tribe OF
marauding red demons. The affair was
SO ruthless in its atrocity that 1t came
very near being the cause OF a whole
sale slaughter of the Indians, which
could have scarcely been justified.
THE proposition came from one OF
the noted frontiersmen and Indian
fighters of that day, who has long since
crossed over the river, General Hender-
son. The old man advanced 1t coolly
and could with difficulty be persuaded
to abandon it. 1t was to invite, under
the guise of pretended friendship and
reconciliation, all the Comanches that
could be assembled in great scope OF
surrounding country TO big barbecue,
where there was to be eating and drink
ing galore and general smoking OF the
pipe of peace. 1t was to be a grand
feast, especially III the roast beef part
of the menu, said beef to be artistically
dressed with poison enough to kill every
son Of a gun Of AN Indian that partook
Of it. Well. they wouldn't let the old
general carry out his scheme, and he
got very hot over it and to the day OF
his death cursed the sentimental fools
that interfered with his plans for reduc,

THE ALDERMEN RETAL|ATE.
Attempt to Slut Off the Park De-
partmont's Telephone Service.
The Park Eonrd Did Not Give Them
Labor Tickets.

TIE Board OF A.lerren to-day retail
',cl on tn" Park Hoard fpr falling to
give ten Labor t.Cke's to each Alderman
~ attempting to shut off the Park De-
pirtm"nt's tclcph service. Ia Is the
way 1t was done:
President McClclland took the floor and
made report concerning his cff,r's 10
Ibtaln labor tickets from the Park Board
Tor the Aldermen. He rerounted his in

The resolution giving the Park De.
partment permission to contract for
telephone service for lS9, was then
called up and promptly defeated, and to
kill the motion altogether motion to
reconsider was made and voted down
with equal precision.
The Aldermen and Park Commission
ers have now begun open war, and in
stead OF attending to the public's bust
ness the Aldermen will now think up
more kindergarten methods to annoy

action OF the Aldermen, as the Park
Commissioners have the right to advcr-
tise for furnishing the same. They
merely asked the Aldermen for permits

as there IL only one telephone company,
and advertising for bids would be a
waste OF time and money. But the AL
dcrmen think they have got their re-
yenge, and the emincntly respectable gen
tlemen OF the Park Board will keep their
labor tickets.
The Board passed n resolution offered
by Alderman Saul which fixed April 3
AZ the 4Jtc'fcr pIhlic hearing on the
proposition to extend the tracks of the
Third Avenue railroad on the west
side. north and south from One Hun
