Bob Ingersoll on Immortality.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll recently
gave the following autograph statement
io au interview
+" | have never said that perhaps be-
fore die will say in public that be-
lieve in Immortality l have always
been perfectly frank and have given
the transcript of my heart and brain.
do not say that death ends all, nei-
ther do say that man is immortal. l
say that do not know. To know is one
thing, to believe is another, and to hope
is still another. / hope for all good
for all joy. for all the children of men.
We love, and all we love die, and we
cling to the hope, to the Wish, that we
may meet again. Love was the first to
dream OF Immortality and as long as We
love we shall hope.u

0regon's Mammoth Caves.

Captain A. B. Smith went from jose
phine county 10 Portland lately to sub
nit pfoposltionto the Oregon com
missioner OF the Midwinter Fair, says
the Oregonian. The Capt. is chief own
er of mammoth cave, whose entrance
is twelve miles north of the StaIe's
boundary line, and which has been ex-
pIored for distance Of twenty-two
miles, partly underlying California's
snrface. The end Of the cave has not
yet been reached 1t is chain of spa
cions chambers, some oftheIn being 326
feet in diameter, and The ceiling of none
Of them being less than so feet from the
floor. Captain Smith wants to have one
of these chambers duplicated in plaster
Of paris and exhibited at the San Fran
cisco Fair as one of Oregon's natural
wonders, and that is what he came TO
see the commissioners about. 1t wonld
r, qnire considerable money to defras
the cost of arranging the exhibit, but
the captain believes it wonld more than
clear itself if small fee were to be
charged for the privilege of inspecting
it. At the Worlds Fair there was
plaster of paris imitation of portion Of
Kenlucky's mammoth that earned q
bushel Of money for lie proprietors, and
and Captain Smith declares that his
cave is as far ahead OF the Kentucky
cavity in all the elements of attractive
ness, as Kentucky whisky is in front of
Chinese gin as an agreeable beverage

my own experience goes, have observed

ong dry" as the old proverb says-is a
pretty sure forerunner of a speedy down
all. Light, fleccy morning clouds are
another sign Of rain. Another well known
appearance is ''Noah's ark" which is
when the clouds represent the shape of
he hulk of G ship, and if the ends point
in the quarter of the prevailing wind it
is a certain sign that rain will speedily
follow.
A very pale blue evening sky and sickly
1ickering stars are an invariable sign that
We shall have rain on the morrow. With
regard to approaching storms, have al

WHAT BABC0Ck SAID.
He Made no Such Sweeping Criticism OF Nc
Kiney Law as Reported

Washington, Dec ii. ". Babcock OF
Wisconsin, chairman of the Republican
congressional campaign committee, wishes
to explain the recent interview on the
Mckinley bill sent out several days ago.
Mr. Babcock says:
"What | said was that at the time of the
passage of the Mckinley bill there was
not one Republican in five who approved
of the extreme prohibitory schedule of the
bill and cited as one of these the duty on
calico, which was more than the most ar
dent protectionist could ask for or defend.
'My criticism of the prohibitory sched-
ules of the bill believe We're just, but
did not intend to criticize the measure
as whole, for / gave it hearty support
and have always been an earnest advocate
of protection.
81 said further that | believed the intel
hgence of our American people was the
foundation of our strength as nation,
and that our people were ever ready tc
condemn what in their Judgment ap-
peared to be unwise legislation, as evi-
denced by the recent election.

She Had q Long Memory.

A Lewiston lady, in speaking about
punishments in school, relates an incident
in her own case. When girl of Is years
she attended school in her native town
Some trouble arose that called in question
the yeracity of either herself or another
girl The teacher insisted that she was
the offender. She insisted that she was
not. The alternative was offered her tt
receive punishment or leave the school
She took the latter alternative. The teach
er remained four years, and she did moi
return, and her school days virtually ter
minated at that time.
Twenty years later the teacher and his
alleged offending pupil met one day. Ht
recognized her and extended his hand. She
refrained from taking it. The act might
have seemed unladylike, but it was just in
his case The man was not offended, fol
hc know the treatment was deserved, and
he mad the nanliness there and then t,
acknowledge "a wrong of 20 years previous
He had learned that the other pupil hao
uttered the faisehood, and the girl wht
had been compelled to leave the school wa.
wholly Innocent of the charge This
knowledge came to him short time aftel
the occurrence and it had weighed upon
his mind, causing him many reproaches
Of conscience Often he had wished to re
pair the wrong, but Il lack of opportunit.
had prevented. His expressions of sincere
regret led to prompt forgiveness.-Lewis

About Fruit Fertilizers.

From averaging the analyses of 12 kinds
of the leading fruits it is learned that q
lbs. of potash, III lbs. of nitrogen and
lbs. of phosphoric acid were contained IN
10, 900 lbs of the fruit. The proportion
of potash to nitrogen is seen to be 219 to
one and the proportion of potash to phos-
phoric acid is three TO one This indicates
the drain fruits are upon the potash IN
the soil. In criticism of the so-called
complete fertilizers of fruits it is pointed
out that they apparently reverse this
natural demand Of the fruit crops, for
they supply of phosphoric acid s to 10,
potash to 8, nitrogen to per cent.
They thus furnish more nitrogen than
potash and much more phosphoric acid
than either of the other two more impor-
tant ingredients, when analyses show and
experience teaches that they should be very
rich in potash rich in nitrogen, and com
paratively poor in phosphoric acid. 1t
would be well for our fruit growers TO
make or select their fertilizers with to
10 per cent of potash, per cent of nitro
gen, and per cent phosphoric acid. BY
liberal use this would probably meet the
requirements of their crops and give a
yield far out of proportion TO its cost. The
cheapest form in which to supply the pot
ash would probably be as muriate, while
the nitrogen could be applied in the form
of cotton seed meal, manure and nitrate
of soda; Or probably better, dried blood
while acid phosphate or bone dust would
give the necessary phosphoric acid.

A BANGOR SPORT
Goes Lively Pace in New York and Escapes
From His Keepers.

New York, Dec 7.-Dr. Rudolph Ber-
endsahn, 1890 Lafayette avenue, Brook
lyn. n. Y, notified the Brooklyn police,
today, that Frank NJ Beers ran away
from him, last night There is nothing
in the police report to indicate whether
Beers was "a patient or friend of the
physician. 1t is likely that Beers was &
patient as he had been cutting up high
jinks at the Sturtevant house, this city,
for the past few days.
Beers brother arrived at the Sturtevant
house. this morning, and took the eccen-
tric young man away. Incidentally he
had a pretty big bill to settle, for he tele-
graphed for Frank to have anything ht
wanted.
Beers arrived at the Sturtevant house,
Sunday morning, and registered from
Bangor, Me-, and Immediately proclaimed
himself as a leader of the strictly up-to-
date gentleman movement in Bangor.
On his cards he had printed "Social
Economist
Beers started his eccentricities by wear
ing lilies of the valley at breakfast.
Afterward he changed his boutonnier fol
one of violets, explaining that there wa
nothing like them for digestion. Later
he appeared wearing a carnation. His
cash soon ran out. Credit was refused
him until his brother telegraphed to lei
him have anything he demanded. Before
the telegram arrived Beers had pawneo
his watch and overcoat.
In his report to the police, Dr. Berend-
sahn said young Beers escaped from his
custody, last night. He jumped from a
DeKalb avenue car bound for the bridge
and was lost sight of.

IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Bryan criticises Mr.. Reeds Speech on
the Railroad Pooling Bill.

Washington, Dec. THE House went
into committee of the whole to consider
the bill to protect public forest reserva-
tions. Before the measure could be dis
posed of the morning hour expired and
it went over. The regular railroad
pooling bill was taken up.
Patterson, in charge of the bill,
asked unanimous consent that the rest of
the day be given to general debate on the
bill tomorrow be devoted to consideration
of the bill in committee of the whole un-
der the five minute rule; this order to con-
tinue until the bill is disposed of. OBJ
lection was made Patterson withdrew
all amendments offered by the committee
to the bill and the debate was continued
by Bartlett, who supported the bill.
Bryan opposed the bill in strong speech.
Among other things, he referred to the
speech made, yesterday, by Reed, express
ing the opinion that never had the House
listened to so bold an advocacy of the right
of monopoly. He agreed with Daniels
that railroads should not come to Congress
to protect themselves against their own
mismanagement or "ruinous competi-
ton"
Bryan gave notice that at the proper
time he would move to amend the bill to
secure "a basis upon which the commission
shall act in determining the reasonable
ness of rates. His proposition was that
the commission should allow profit upon
the cost of reproduction of the road and
rolling stock at present rates, regardless
of the original costs of the road, regardless
of additional expenditures, regardless OF
the amount of capital stock issued, either
real or fictitious.
Wise, chairman of the committee on in
terstatc and foreign commerce, said the
bill was advocated by boards of trade and
transportation all over the country and by
every state railroad commissioner except
one. The last speaker was Cochran, who
advocated the bill He said he believed
the passage of the bill would result in the
reduction of rates, as it was the policy OF
railroad companies to constantly reduce
their charges. At p. NJ. the House ad
