Breeding sCattleo.-


Among late arrivals is William Wssvey,
of Durbin, n. D, who is engaged In rails
ing "cattleo," or half-breed buffsloes aud
domestic cattle. The word ''csttleo" is g
compounding of the two words cattle and
buffalo. Mr.. Wsavsy has brought three
of his bslf-bloods and four pure bufaloe,
along. They ars sil very handsome AMI
mails, of different ages, and the cattlec,
which are young. are of q rich seal-brown
color and as fat IS molss.

gagged in raisicg wheat. One year hs
raised - much a. sevsnty-fve thousand
bushels, but later he retrepched. -Four
years sgo be hit on the novel industry Of
raising cattleo, and now he sees much
money In IL.
The reason for this is that both the mes
and the skins are vastly more valuabl,
than of the buffalo or ssttls. Mr.. wes

sUKPR1s1N1; MAYOR.

Mayor Wright of st. Paul, Minnesota,
is one of the live mayors of the country.
New Haven has another. Mayor Wright
has surprised those who were eager for a
chance to vote for him sgsin by annouuc-
ing that he is not Q candidate for re cleo
ton, and the reason he gives for his deter
mination is an impressive one. He is not
tired of the place, and he has, on the
whole, enjoyed his experience in It, bat he
will not run again, solely upon the ground
that he believes 1t to be practically impos
sible for one occupying the position of
mayor to administer the affairs of the city
fsarlessly and with independence, accord
ing to the dictates of bis Judgment, and at
the same time be making arrangements for
another campaign.
This is a remarkable position to take In
these days when it is expected that a man
who is in Office will do his best to stay In,
but there is much that can be said in favor
of 1t. 1t Is reasonable to suppose that a
Mayor of city who has at least one eye
fixed on his political future may not act
just as he would If both eyes were firmly
and fully fixed ON his official work. The
example set by Mayor Wright will not, we
fear, find many imitstors. The fearless
and independent action of our own Mayor
may perhaps bs taken to indicate that hs
doesn't want another term, but he hasn't
said he doesn't. He has wanted more
power. and perhaps he will think that he
ought to have another term go that In three
terms he can have as much power as hs has
wanted in two,

EMPEROR CHARLES III.

Accompanied by half the nobility
of Austria, went to the Carlsbad
Springs for the recovery of his
health. Six thousand six hundred
horses, so the town records say,
were necessary to convey the COM
pany to the place.
The virtues of the water is as
great at the present day as it was
in the time of Charles H., and al
though the expense attached to a
journey thither is not as great now
as it was then, we are not all
wealthy enough to undertake it.
For such the virtue of the Carlsbad
Spring is extracted. The Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, obtained by evapora-
ton, containing all the, solid con-
stituents of the water, can be OBJ
tanned at every drug store.

IS A JUROR A MAN,

Some recent events will tend to make
jurors even more uncertain than they have
been. The Massachusetts Supreme court
has just decided that verdict obtained by
casting lots will not stand, and there has
beenssome sharp criticism of the popular
method of reaching q verdict by playing
cards. The tiring-out method has also
oome in for its share of criticism. And
now the New York Court of Appeals still
further complicates matters by declining
to Say that jurors who are convinced
as men are in consequence of such
conviction convinced also as jurors.
1t will be remembered that In the
trial of the Chicago anarchists the presid-
ing Judge told the jury that they were not
st liberty to disbelieve as jurors, If from
the evidence they believed as men. This
instruction was sustained by the Supreme
court, which said that It was sanctioned by
the Supreme court of Pennsylvania. In q
murder case in New York the Judge re-
fused to tell the jurors that they should be
convinced as jurors when they would be
convinced as men and should doubt a. jur-
ors when they would doubt Is men, and he
has been sustained by the Court of Ap-
peals.
A conscientious juror who has listened
to lawyers enough in the course of trial
and has then been talked to by the judge
frequently doesn't really know whether he
Is . juror or 4 man. If, by reason of the
decision just made by the Court of Appeals
In New York, the burden is to be thrown
on such juror of deciding when he is q
man and when he is juror, and of giving
his verdict when he is sure that he is q
juror, he will have more trouble than he
deserves. Jurors will not know what to
do or when to do II. II they are asked to
be too finely discriminating they may feel
obliged not only to reach their verdicts BY
games Of chance, but also to decide in the
same way when they are men and whsr
they are jurors.

H6 WAS THE CARS FRIEND.

Ex.Secretary Foster the Only Unofficial
Guest at the Memorial Services.
Ex-secretary of State Foster was the only
unofficial guest at the memorial services to the
late Czar at the Russian legation yesterday,
the honor being accorded to him because he
had personally known Alexander III, having
met him often while serving as United States
minister o Russia in 1881 and 1882.
1t was at net time that Alexander II was
assassina ted and Gen. Foster witnessed the
exciting scenes on that occasion, and the
subsequent pomp and ceremony with which
the new Gar assumed power. As the repre-
sentative of this country, Gen. Foster took
part in the funeral rites of the dead Czar and
the festivities incident to the accession of the
new ruler.
On these and later occasions Gen. Foster
met Alexander III and the latter frequently
alluded TO his friendship and admiration for
America. Nicholas, the present Gar, was
then boy of thirteen, and being the second
son was not regarded as the heir, although
the fatal illness of his elder brother afterward
led the latter to renounce his inheritance.
Gen. Foster says the feeling of great friend
ship for America expressed by Alexander is
shared throughout Russia from the highest
down to the humblest peasant.

The Pure Food Exhibition.

The Pure Food Exhibition, which opens a

to be the largest and most successful of any
of those heretofore held here. Not only will
the number OF exhibits be larger, but the dis
PLAYS will be much more elaborate. A num-
Der of the exhibits at the Worlds Fair will be
REPRODUCED here. The lectures and demon
strations Of Miss Helen Louise Johnson on
the art Of cooking, in which much interest
was manifested last year by mesdames and
misses who aspire to be good cooks will be a
feature of the exhibition each afternoon. A
select orchestra will enllven the occasion with
good music, afternoon and evenings, and it is
safe TO predict that Convention Hall will be
comfortably filed during the entire three
weeks of the exhibition. Tickets are 25 cents
each, which include admission to the lectures.

Thursday night, some statements were made
which involved supt- Powell, Of the publis

Of this city
Principal Stewart said that law passed az
the last session Of Congress prohibited any
one in the employ Of the public schools from
making money from any book he might pub
lish Supt. Powell being specifically referred
to in this connection. Mr.. Weller stated,
from q list of bids that be read, that there
appeared TO be eoIIusion between Ballantyne,
OF Washington, and Delaney, OF Baltimore,
in obtaining contracts for furnishing books to
the public schools.
Supt Powell IS confined at home by sick
ness. He was called upon and asked Tor
statement explaining the manner in which
the contracts were made for books in which
be was financially interested. supt- Powell
did not care to make any statement.
The senior member OF the firm OF Ballan-
tyne & Son was also called upon. and while
he was not willing to enter into any conrro-
versy he had no objection to stating the facts
/ within his knowledge.
As to the public school readers, OF which
/ Mr.. Powell was partly the author and in
I u
that Congress at its last session passed law
that the appropriation for school books should
not be used to purchase books in which any
superintendent, trustee or teacher Is interested.
As a consequence of this law, when the pre-
| posals for school books were sent out on hay
/ T. this year, the Powell readers were omitted
| from the list by the Commissioners.
| On the 10th OF August following the Com
missioners sent out other proposals on which
the Powell books again appeared, as it had
been shown to the Commissioners by eertih-
cate that Supt. Powell had no longer finan-
eial interest in the Powell readers. Balian-
| tyne & Sons sent in their bid, as did Dulaney.
| OF Baltimore, and so far, said Mr.. Bsllantyne,
| from there being any colIusion, Dulaney gos
the contract, undertaking Ballantyns, who
/ does not handle the readers. Mr.. Ballantyne
mentioned the fact thar the publishers ofthese
! books. Boston firm, also bid, and that Du-
| laney underbid the publishers.
