His Friends Disappointed.

1t is not surprising that Maj. Bacon's
speech to the members of the Legislature
Monday night was a disappointment to
some of his supporters. 1t was expected
that he would take a decided stand for
or against the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to /. His failure to do so
made him no friends among the souni
money democrats and weakened the conf
dence Of the free silver coinage democrats
in him. His chances for success would
have been better If he had not made Il
speech. It is always a mistake for pub
lie man to straddle a great issue. The
people cannot be deceived, and it is al
ways better from every point of view to
be entirely frank with them.
One of the reasons why Mr. Turner has
such a strong hold upon the people of the
state is that he always treats them with
entire frankness. He does not think of
misleading them He would not mislead
them with the view of accomplishing a
selfish purpose If he could. He has never
been known to hesitate to say what his
views are on any public question for fear
that he would injure his popularity.
But is not Maj. Bacon displaying tho
same characteristics now as a public man
that he has always displayed? We see
it stated in a letter from Eatonton, signed
Democrat" that at one time he an
nounced that he would act in future with
whatever party he pleased. That if true,
would indicate that his attachment to the
principles of the Democratic party is not
very strong, 1t is also asserted in the
same letter that it has not been so very
long since he was flirting with high pro-
lection, and that he failed to condemn the
ridiculous sub-treasury scheme when he
had an opportunity to do so. The more
democrats consider these things the more
likely they will be to turn from him to
Mr.. Turner.
A day or two ago Mai Bacon's friends
were claiming his nomination by the cat
Gus on the first ballot They are still
making that claim, but the fact that they
are trying to get votes for him on the Sec
ond ballot shows they do not place entire
confidence in their ability to nominate
him on the first ballot. Are they conf
dent they can nominate him at all?
The morning news., 1894-11-01

The department of agriculture at Wash
ington has undertaken TO throw some
light upon the singular fact that the
price of a loaf of bread remains the
same with wheat at SO cents bushel
that it was when wheat sold for 81 a
bushel. The department has just issued
a bulletin in which it is estimated that
the materials in pound of bread at the
prevailing prices for them do not cost
more than . cents. while the pound of
bread sells for cents. IN Washington
a crusade against the high price of
bread has caused a reduction from 8
cents to cents per loaf.

Athletes and Consumption.

There is very great danger of an ath-
lete dying of lung trouble if he ever ceases
his sports, said Professor A. c. Mathews.
I'm athletic exercises large lungs are re-
quired, and they become inflated beyond
their natural size. If the athlete ceases
his practice and adopts anything ap-
preaching a sedentary life, the lungs, fall
ing largely into disuse, easily decay, and
the result is quick consumption. 1t is fire.

who are athletic leaders after graduation
go into stores, Offices or counting rooms
and in few years die of consumption
Every one is surprised, and it is said:
Such strong, healthy man when he left
collegel Who would have thought he
would die with consumption? Must have
been hereditary AS matter of fact, he
brought 1t upon himself by failing to keep
up the practices that expanded his lungs

CRUSHED IN THE ICE.
Particulars of the Loss of Wellman's Ship
and the Escape of the Crew.

Tromsoe, Norway, August 8.-Capta1n
Bottolfsen, who brought to this place the
news of the loss of the Wellman Polar ex-
petition steamer Ragnvald Jarl, gives
further details OF the adventures of the
Wellman party. He says that the expedition
reached Walden island on May II. Mr.
Wellman and Shis party started north on
sledse yes on Mag "a. On May %, the screwing
of the ice began in real earnest. While the
crew were drinking their afternoon coffee,
the steamer was suddenly crushed by sthe
ice as If it were match box. # The crew in
the meantime escaped to the shore. They
were Obliged to take shelter,in a dog kennel
until they were able to build Il hut fromTthe
wreckage of the steamer. Wellman returned
~ Walden island but resumed his journey
northwurd on May 81.
IS On June 81, Captain Bottolfsen and his
marty started southwark IN search of a
sealer, hauling behind them IL twelve foot
aluminium boat Captain Bottolfsen says
"We passed four terrible weeks of stormy
and heavy snow, sometimes hauling our
boat but sailing or rowing where there was
opportunity and water. And in this way
we travelled 230 miles along the Spltzergen
Islands. We were compelled TO throw away
nearly all extra clothing and much of our
equipment, as the boat was overloaded.
'tOur passage across. Henlopen strait was
particularly difficult and dangerous. All the
PARTY were wet to the skin and, the cold
being intense, our sufferings were severe.
The cold on the nights of July 10 and IL was
awful. In hut at Mossel bay, we fohnd an
old gig and repaired it. On July l, we tried
10 cross Wilde bay, but We're obliged by fog
and ice to return. We made another4 start
on the fifteenth. but the ice proved so'thicl
we were forced to abandon the gig and pro
coed, hauling the aluminium boat. Severa
Norwegian sealers were seen east of the
Nose islands, but they failed to answer oul
signals At Nose bay we found Nordensk-
jold's hut, where provision depot wal
maintained by a Tromsoe skipper named
Sociazon We found we had to take our boa
around Welcome point. On July 80 we wer,
aaken aboard the steamer Malygen, CaptaiI
Petersen. One man was landed at Dane
Island to join Professor Oyen. who was wei
but still declined to leave the island''
Captain Bottolfsen says it is probable tina
the two mates. two engineers, a stokers an,
cook who were left at Walden island vii
be rescued by sealers soon as the ice ant
weather become favorable enc-t-h 60 tEo~
to proceed.

Overbred Dogs.

So long as our dogs were employed in
the labor or the organized, recreations of
man the tendency of the association with
the superior being was in high measure
educative. They were constantly submit
ted to more or less critical, but always eff
fective, selection which tended ever to de-
velop higher grade of intelligence. With
the advance in the organization Of society
tho dog is ever losing something of his
utility even in the way OF sport. He is
fast becoming a mere idle faverite, priced
for unimportant pcculiarities of form. The
effort in the main is not now to make crea
lures which can help in the employ
ments of man, but to breed for show alone,
demanding no more intelligence than is
necessary to make the creature we'll be-
haved deuizen of house. The result is the
institution of wonderful variety in the
size, shape and special pecul iarities Of
different breeds, with what appears to me a
concomitant loss in their intelligence. 1t
appears to me, in word, that our treat
| ment of this, noble animal, where he is
bred for ornament, is in effect degrading.

Disconcerting Effect on Chaplain Jones OF a

Disconcerting Effect on Chaplain Jones OF
Foraging Captains Find.
The propensity of the American soldier
for fun cannot be subdued by dangerous
suffering. In fact, have known him
to crack Jokes in concert with the crack
ing rifles of the enemy when death might
he monentarily expected. And, strange
as it may seem, the boys took special de-
light in tormenting the chaplain. OF all
the hundreds of thousands of men who
served in the war, doubt If there was one
who at any time permitted himself to &C
ouire full and true conception of what
the chaplain was for. 1t was q close time
at Chattanooga in the winter of 1863-64.
The meals were scant and far between; yet,
moving out on the line that IMAM ex-
tremity is Gods opportunity" Chaplain
Jones cat least SO I8shall call him) held
regular Sunday services incur camp, and
a large crowd was always proof that seven
I'D and poker may become tiresome In
the midst Of our starving and OF Chaplain
Jones revival Captain Sam Smith took a
foraging party across Waldron's ridge and
secured hill and valley for anything edible
from an ear Of corn to saddle skirt. 1t
CHANGED that this party returned to camp
lust as one of Brother Jones' revival meet
ings was in full blast-that is, Jones was
in full BLAST, for he was the revival. He
had loud voice, and one OF his great
truths hurled at an unappreciative audi
ence struck like load of canister hitting
a barn Just as Captain Sam and party
were passing the door Chaplain Jones
CHANGED to bawl out:
Behold, now, the captain of our saliva
tion!'
Smith stuck his head into the door and
beloved:
YOU'RE id right, chaplain. I've
got pork and potatoes enough to set every
man in the, crowd to shouting
Captain Smith, 4" said the chaplain
sternly, II am, shocked that you should
disturb the house of prayer''---
s'Disturb the devil! I can put more
religion into the boys with one ham OF
this razorback shote than you can howl
into them in the next 10 months ''--
There was q rush and cheer, and ID
minutes later Chaplain Jones was solemn
ly roasting a razorbaek steak before the
fire and singing a psalm to the captain
of his salvation. '-Cleveland Plain Deal

Color of Horses.

ga great deal of Importance is at
tached by expert horse buyers to the
color of horses, particularly with re-
gard to their legs" said a Western
stockman. 1.-The best horses I have ever
known had their feet and legs marked
with white. Itisproverbial that sorrel
and chestnut horses with white upon
their legs are good natured, while
horses of the same color without dash
of white are often found to be unsafe
animals Many people think that the
parti-colored horses belonging to cir
cuses are selected for their docility.
1t is said that a black horse cannot
stand the heat, and white horses have
been pronounced as unsuited to cold
The physiognomy of horses is also much
regarded. If he is full and broad be-
tween the eyes, he is supposed to have
superior sense and to be easily trained,
but if he has a sharp, narrow face, be
careful how much you trust him"
