KELLY BOUGHT A WAR cry

A pretty young lady, garbed in the uni
form of the Salvation Army created a stir
yesterday afternoon by appearing at the
meeting of the Board of Freeholders just as
Director Bruggeman was about to cali the
board to order. The young lady had q
bundle of War Cries under her arm, and
after squeezing her way through the crowd
in the lobby, advanced to the desk OF Free
holder Simon Kelly, and sweetly asked him
to invest in copy Of the paper. The gallant
King of Weehawken could not resist the
gracious smile of the winsome soldier, for he
dove down in his pocket and produced the
desired nickel. Freeholder Swartz and
Architect Moylan also invested
The young lady next tackled Director
Bruggeman, who smiled upon her in his
peculiarly child-like and bland manner, but
he could not be induced to purchase paper.
Some one remarked that the Army lassie
had been sent there with view to convert
ing the members Of the board, but this was
denied by the young lady, who thanked
those who had bought paper, and grace
fully withdrew

FIGHTING THE SUGAR TRUST.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10, 1S94.-Argument
was begun this morning before Judge Butler
in the United States Circuit Court in the
proceedings brought by the government to
have set aside as illegal the merging OF the
Philadelphia sugar reineries into the sugar
trust.
The government claims that the Sherman
anti Trust law has been violated and further
contends that the American Sugar Refining
Co. is monopoly and that the contracts
made with the Philadelphia refneries were
in aid of monopoly! The answer of the
trust is that it is not monopoly and that
the Sherman act is unconstitutional.
The defendants in the suit are the E. G.
Knight Company, Spreckels Sugar Refining
Company, Franklin Sugar Refining Com
pany and Delaware Sugar House, all of
which have their principal place of business
in Philadelphia.
A host of Counsel is engaged in the case
and the arguments will continue for several
daVs li q f7a-Z.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 10, 1s94.-Sherif
Proward returned from Tallahassee this
noon. He went to get full and detailed
instructions as to his duty. He says Cover
nor Mitchell is highly indignant over the de-

will not come off here in this county if he
can preyeet it, and he thinks he can. A
rumor that the city Chief of Police
had sworn 400 special deputies
to arrest the militia if they interfered in
the contest, as the city had given license
but while not denying it, city officials
laughed at it. The club people say that
they win pull the fight off in sec
ret, but seem exceedingly anxious about it.
Jack Dempsey will second Corbett. Bets are
100 to go in favor of Corbett.

! PARIS, Jan. 10, 1S94.-Le Journal today
publishes an interview that took place be-
tween M Deloncle, member of the French
Chamber of Deputies, and Signer Crispi, the
Italian Prime Minister. Signor Crispi
eulogized NJ Billot, French Ambassador to
Italy who, he said, was working for an
agreement between France and Italy.
7Signor Crispi further said he believed that
the disturbances in Sicily were over, and
that the troubles there were practically at
an end. The mobilizing of the Italian
troops, he added, should cause no alarm.
Italy was absolutely peaceful, and was de
sirous of terminating the economic struggle
with France. 1t was necessary that the
countries should be commercially united.

NOT FOR FILIBUsTERING.

OTTAWA Ont, Jan. 10, 1S94-Colonel
Powell, Adittant General, stated today that
the reports Of a filibustering expedition
being organized in British Columbia for
service in Hawaii, were probably caused by
the organization in Victoria OF new
garrison battery, drawn from Vancouver
and Westminster. This battery is to con-
sist Of two hundred men and will likely
contain a good many of the mounted police
force, whose term has expired, and also
few of those who served in the
Riel rebellion. As Great Britain. France
and the United States have an agreement of
neutrality as regards Hawaii, Colonel Powell
believes the Dominion Government would
promptly libel any flibustering expedition.

interview on the condition of the navy pub
lished yesterday by the Echo de Paris proves
that the Minister of Marine is in complete
ignorance of the habitual occurrences in the

La Justice declares that the appointment
by the Chamber of Deputies of an extra
Parliamentary Naval Commission to inquire
into naval matters is ridiculous. 1t adds
that several of those named as members of

keeping the Flies of Horses.

During the summer and autumn
months, when flies are most numerous,
the work horses, unless thoroughly pro-
tected, expend nearly as much strength
in fighting the flies as they do in actual
farm labor OF course some horses are
more sensitive to flies than others, and
many serious accidents to both man and
beast have resulted from horses becom-
ing tangled in the harness in their fran
tic endeavors to rid themselves of the
little black pests. The best protection
is fly sheets made of some thin, strong
fabric. They should reach below the
traces on each side when plowing and
should be made in two parts, the first
extending from the collar backward.
while the second should cover the neck,
being secured with strings at the throat
and near the collar. To guard against
the botf1y tie a large tassel Of cord to
the center of the throat strap under the
neck and secure several strings of leath-
er or twine to the martingale, letting
them extend down to the knees between
the forelegs. The constant swinging
movement of the tassel and strings pre-
vents the fly from stinging or deposit
ing eggs. While on the road a coarse
net of leather or cord will be sufficient,
especially if the horse moves ON trot.
If the legs of horses be washed in water
in which tansy leaves have been boiled,
flies will avoid all such portions for
several days thereafter. The large black
and green horsefies alight on the abdo-
men Of horses, and this part is protect
ed easily by the use of tansy wash,
which is very readily applied. IS

He was smooth tongued fellow, and
the barkeeper looked at him with a cold
and suspicious eye. The latter Official
attempted several times between the
drinks and stories to have private word
with the smooth tongued chap, but his
designs were apparently understood and
therefore frustrated. Finally, as the
evening waned the barkeeper brought
out scrap of paper on which was in.
scribed some meaning language. The
young man took it, read it carefully and
put 1t In his pocket, with the casual re-
mark that "that was all right"
Now, look here" said the barkeeper
a little later, 'about that bill of yours.
Can't you let me have something on that
now?"
The young mans friends were rather
abashed at this, but the young man
wasn't phased. Really" he said, s.if ]
could would, but you see I haven't
got it."
"How much have you gotY'
''Fll give you all I've got, of course, if
you'll wipe out the score. Is it goY'
.All right, I'll do it," promptly re-
piled the barkeeper, thinking this was q
grand bluff.
The young nan turned his pockets
wrong side out, the financial result be-
ing $l.s6. The barkeeper produced the
account, which was $50. The young man
smiled.
Now" said he. II believe it is Gus
tomary when man settles his account
at this bar for the house to treat. Boys,

But the barkeeper was looking for the

whether he found it.-New York Herald.

Useful Kerosene Emulsion.

If one has spraying pump, he needs
nothing better, or if he has nothing of
this kind he can use common sprin-
king pot or can, or for SO few sheep as
he has he can take a sponge, or even a
handful of cotton rags sewed loosely
through and through, and catch each
one and apply the emulsion SO as to sat
urate every part. All that is necessary
is to be sure that every place on the
sheep, even the topknot, when they have
one, be sprinkled, sprayed or swabbed
SO as to wet completely every tick. If
this be accomplished, one way is as good
as another. 1t is not the way but the
emulsion that kills.
Kerosene emulsion not only kills the
ticks, but if copiously applied will de-
stroy every egg or nit, SO that one ap-
plication, if thorough, will rid the sheep
and lambs of all ticks and the liability
to be restocked by new brood from the
eggs 1t will also kill lice ON any ami
NAL, whether horse, COW, sheep. hog,
poultry, cat, dog, or boy even, if he is
ever so unfortunate as to get them. In
using kerosene emulsion it is better to
apply on warm day or in warm build
ing, SO that the animal shall dry with
out getting chill. although wetting
with the emulsion is no more injurious
or disagreeable than complete wetting
by rain and not half SO damaging to
sheep as to be washed by the brook
washing process. j. S. Woodward in
Rural New Yorker.
