schemes stake journalism" because they
have nothing to do with the objects and
purposes of the newspaper business in
any shape, manner or form, other than to
give an artificial circulation to a journal
that will not circulate profitably on its
own inertia Pounds of tea and imitation
cut-glassware have not yet been offered
as an inducement to the public to buy
certain paper, or papers, simply because
the less cumbersome "gifts" have not
been exhausted The purposes Of jour-

news of the day and to offer impersonal

fine what "news" is in this connection.
Generally speaking.it is that which touch
es and gives tangible form to the doings
of mankind from day to day, whether
the doings turn upon the relations of
mems deeds to the general welfare Of the
community or to it's general demoraliza-
ton. This includes acts of legislature,
public and private corporations, and SO
until we reach the acts of the individ-
uaL What does not concern life, its de-
velopment or its contraction is not news.
The range is great and includes the res
ignation of the prime minister of Great
Britain, and the condition of the potato
crop as well, but its range is not so great
that it includes the range of gift enter
prise. The moment newspaper departs,
generally speaking, from this standard
of conduct it ceases TO be a legitimately
conducted journal and unworthy of pub
lie support in exact proportions as it de-
ponds upon coupon contests of popularity
ETC., to increase its sales. rather than
upon its merits as an honorably conduct

three sides, to which winding stairs
give access The quaint old cobblestone
chimney in the parlor has been left in
tact except that its draft has been some
what improved There are now nine or
ten chambers, and accommodations for
the entertainment of guests are much
better than heretofore.
The surroundings of the house have
also been very much altered. The
swampy piece of land near the stable
has been filed in and the grounds
nicely graded and seeded and several
hundred trees set out. The building that
formerly stood near the entrance to the
grounds and was used as the Office of
the president and his secretary has been
demolished, and a new lodge has been
erected during the winter. 1t is of Queen
Anne style and contains eight or nine
rooms, some of which are arranged SO
that the president can occupy them
should he run down here for few days
shooting in winter.

The storekeeper who expects to do
much business in 1894 must practice the
lesson taught in the following story
1.-TWO frogs found themselves in a pail of
milk and they could not jump out. One
of them was for giving up and said to
the other, Good by; sink, die Said
his mate, Brace up, you duffer! Keep a
jumpin' and see what turns up So they
kept jumping up and down all night and
by morning had so churned the milk
that it turned to butter, and they jumped
off the better to the ground" Applied
to business the fable means this: If you
want the business of 1894 to exceed that
of 1893, "keep a jumpin'." Don't cry, 81
sink, | def" The merchant who con
tinues looking for bad times will not sur
vive to see good times. The man who
keeps jumpin' will see good times first

Gray Gables and Its Surroundings Have
Been Greatly Improved.
Gray Gables, President Cleveland's
summer home at Buzzard's Bay, has
been considerably altered in appearance
since the presidents family left there
last September An addition containing
practically six new rooms and a hallway
has been made to the house, which looks
more imposing than it used to, and plate
glass windows have been substituted for
the old fashioned ones that formerly pre-
vailed. The piazzas have been enlarged
to twice their original depth, and the
number of new gables will make the
pretty name Gray Gables more appro-
pirate than ever when time and weather
shall have stained the new shingles to
match those on the older part of the
house.
On the westerly side of the house
new entrance has been made, and hall
runs through to the parlor, with rooms
on each side At the right, on entering,
is the new private Office of the presi-
dent, whose windows afford full view

Arrangements have been made to have
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, Miss Susan

present at both the Republican and Pop
ulist state conventions to try to get a
suffrage plank in the platforms. Efforts
are being made to have Mrs. Theresa

Helen Cougar will also be here. Mrs.

HIS HEART TRANSPOSED.
A Curious Case Discovered BY the Board
of Pension Examiners.

A Curious Case Discovered BY the Board
of Pension Examiners.
The board of pension medical exam
liners which is composed of Doctors Reid
Alexander, G. A. Mcclure and l. Y.
Grubbs, has been in session several days
at 622 Kansas avenue. At each one of
these sessions a number of interestin e
cases are brought to light. Among the
applicants who was lately examined is a
cOlored man whose home is in Meriden.
This man is a victim of deXdrocordia
which means that his heart is the
right side instead of the left, and his
liver and other organs are SINH
larly transposed. Such cases are ex-
ceedingly rare and none of the board in
all of their extensive practice and ex-
aminations have ever before seen a real
case of this sort, although they are
oftentimes mentioned in professional
literature.
A year or two ago DIR. H. w. Roby dis
covered a similar case in the course of
his practice.
The colored man is we'll and hearty SO
far his peculiar formation is con-
cerned.
Another unusual case is that of a
member of the Seventh cavalry of Fort
Riley. This man was wounded at the
battle of Wounded Knee. The
bullet entered the left side of
his face under the ear and came
out near the right eye. Ordinarily the
wound would have caused instant death,
but the only unfortunate result in this
case is a lop-sided appearance of the
jaw and considerable difficulty in chew
ing food properly.

SENATOR PATTON.

The new senator from Michigan, John
Patton, Jr., is Pennsy lvanian by birth
and training and is one of five Pennsyl-
vanians now holding seats In the senate
from other than their native state, the
other four being Shoup of Idaho, PETER
of Kansas. Henderson of Nebraska and
Mitchell of Oregon. Senator Patton is
of Revolutionary ancestry and was born
at Curwensville, Clearfeld county, Pa,
Oct. 80, 1850. His father, who had bean
a Henry Clay Wing, was one of the
early members of the Republican party
and enjoys the distinction Of having
been elected member of the Thirty
seventh and Fiftieth congresses from
the Twentieth district of Pennsylvania,
one of the most rock ribbed Democratic
congressional districts in the state

1T is a matter of some curiosity as to
what particular incident converts the
average conservative man to the advau-
ced doctrines advocated by the Populists,
Nationalist and other "refOrmers."
When is the change effected in their
cerebral affairs? Apparently, some
times, the cause of the metamorphosis
is trivial For instance, onions, and onions
alone are accountable for Robert S. Pat
erson of Usage county, changing his con-
victions on political economy. We have
it in black and white in the Usage City
Free Press, which says:
Robert 8. Paterson informs US that he
recently shipped four cons of onions to
the Kansas City market by local freight
receiving for same 80 cents a bushel.
He paid SIS 40 for the sacks and the net
returns were S6S1. He was out the
onions and the difference between the
cost of the sacks and the net receipts
of the shipment Mr.. Paterson informs
us that the local freight rate for
four tons was So more than the car
load rate for ten ton car. Since the
railroad swallowed the onions and part
of the sacks Mr.. Paterson is more than
ever in favor of government ownership
of railroads.

Snake Swallowed Snake.

When the keeper of the snake-house
at the Philadelphia zoo counted the
Shiny reptiles in the cage reserved for
the indigo species, he was astonished to
find one missing. He first counted
heads and then, with pole, he sepa-
rated each snake from the mass into
which they had woven themselves, and
still the most liberal application he
could make of his mathematics revealed
but five snakes where, the day before,
there were six. He went for Supt.
Brown, and that scientist discovered
that the sixth reptile was sleeping his
last sleep in the elongated ston ch of
one of his cage mates. Investigation
proved that the swallower was six feet
long, while the swallowed was five.
Outside of his increased size the gour-
mand was none the worse for yielding
to his cannibalistic tendencies.
