II have often heard my uncle, !" said
the nephewo OF . noted lawyer who died
lately. dwell upon the fact that he
owed much OF his success In life to a
habit Of invariabls politeness. without
any element Of todyism, which had
been justified Into his nature by the
teachings .of wise mother, lHfs first
start IN his PROFESSION came through. an
old scrubwoman who was employed
about the hpuee where he boarded when
3 young man. One morning be passed
ont az she was scrubbing the front
steps, and he saluted her politely, as
usual. She stopped him. They tell
me ye are . lawyer she said. Yes
We'll, / know q poor wildly woman
that wants q lawyer, and If You will
give me your address I'll tell her.
The poor wildly proved to be the chief
heir to a large estate in Delaware cou1-

TERRIBLE DEATH or A HORSE.
tn Costly Animal Goes Mad and Tears
Itself Almost to Pieces.

The Costly Animal Goes Mad and Tears
Itself Almost to Pieces.
j. E. Sechrist of this county lost his
fine stallion Fleetwood in a peculiar and
terrible manner. The animal was a very
fine one, an inbred Hambletonian, both
powerful and speedy. A few days
ago it was taken with blind staggers,
and its sufferings were terrible. The
climax OF the disease was reached on
Tuesday morning, when the animal went
crazy. He was tied in his stable, but in
his agony he broke the strong rope hall
ter as IL it were a thread, and driving
his head against the side of the barn COW
cred everything with blood.
Finally he made q desperate effort at
the door, and tearing it from its hinges
went at o run through the field. His
speed was terrific, and he stopped not for
paling. board or wire fences, but took
everything in his mad run. He ran
through q paling fence six times and
through q four wire barbed fence Is
times, tearing his legs and body in a hor-
rible manner It was just before day,
and MI. Sechrist says that every time he
struck the wire the fire few, and the
ring of the wire could be heard q long
distance. Finally, from exhaustion and
loss of blood. he fell and died. Nj. Sc
christ valued him at ~. 900 and brought
him from Kentucky.-OkIahom Special,

Exposition Relies.

A curious illustration of woman's
tendency to lose things is furnished by
the collection in the lost and found bu-
reau of the Columbian exposition. There
remain in 1t 600 women's wraps, $50
gloves, % wells, G of portmanteaux
and handbags, to say nothing Of 800 um-
brellas, o good share of which were left
by women, and 200 pairs Of spectacles,
most Of which no doubt belonged to wo-
men. They lose things when away from
home because they are more likely than
men to be carried away by new scenes
and to forget everything except what in.
terests them for the moment.-Pittsburg

be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
it pays large interest to its deposi-
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis of all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever so small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversely, as it
always has a. fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop
erty.
- The owner of a piece OF real es-
tate is the owner of a
HOME,
or that out of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
emit indeed, as we'll in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner Of d home sometime, but
the masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own. when a little exercise of
good Judgment at the opportune
time, and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home,
and the money which they spend
for rent during their lifetime
could be applied to the comforts
and enjoyment of life, or laid by
for a rainy day
They who arrive at the shady
side" of life
WITHOUT A HOME
are indeed to be pitied. Contrast
the condition of the person who
owns his own home with the one
who rents. Which will you select?
You can have either condition; it
remains for you to decide. The
wisest and most prosperous people
IN this country are purchasing all
the real estate their means will
ADMIT of, and are advising their
friends to do likewise. A very
intelligent and wealthy old gen.
tleman who resides a Illinois, and
who has travelled extensively and
been very observing, wrote us a
few days ago, and in his letter he
said:
Real estate in your section of
country must very soon be in &C
tive demand at much advanced
prices, as all of the good, cheap
lands are gone, and your lands
must command prices equal to
those of the states just east of you,
and your cities, especially such
BUSINESS centers as Madison, must
grow rapidly and city lots advance
IN value accordingly. / look upon
investments in real estate in your
locality as the best that can be
made at this time"
Opinions coming from men OF
this character are Of value and
should be needed.

not within your reach, how earnest
would be your wish that it was
and how great your anxiety to b.

C0NFERREES CLASH.
Tariff Disagreement Likely to
Be Reported,
Republican Members Were Called
In at 2 To-Day.
Reports May BE Made to Both
Houses To- Morrow.

WASlilNGTON, July l7--The ADJOURN
mcnt OF the Democratic members of the
Tariff Conference Committee at II
o'clock, and the determination to call in
the Republican members at o'clock to-
day, were believed to mean that Il re-
port of a disagreement was to be made.
two houses would be made either late
this afternoon or tomorrow.
1t is understood that the report will
indicate IA general disagreement, and
will show that it has been impossible
for the conference to come to an I'M
derstanding without receiving renewed
instructions from the two Houses.
1t is understood that there are wide
differences between the conferrecs all
along the line of the bill. including
sugar. coal, IRON, the metals woollcn,
cotton and glass schedules especially.
1t Is also stated by those in position
to know that the House members of the
Committee have taken a broad position
in favor of the House bill, and that
while they originally manifested dis
position to make concessions on the less
important changes i'm the bill. they have
lattery been very obdurate and stand
out for majority of the House pro-
visions. since they have found that the
conference managers of the Senate will
not meet them.
Immediately after the adjournment
one of the members Of the conference
said that it seemed that the SENATE and
House were further apart than when
they began: that the House members
fatty refused the iron ore. coal and SUI
gar rates Of the Senate bill, and the
Senate conferrees were as firm in de-
handing that the bill in these par
ticulars must remain as the Senate
fixed it.
Mr.. Reed, leader of the House Repub-
lican conferrces. says no exact pro-
gramme has been agreed on by the Re-
publican conferrees. as 1t is for the Dem
ocratic conferrees to take the initiative.
Mr.. Reed understands the purpose of the
Democrats to be to report disagree
ment throughout. and he says that If this
is done there is likely to be no objection
or delay from the Republicans.
LATER. The fun Tariff Conference
adjourned at 3l5 p. NJ. until tomorrow
at . p. NJ. without reaching an agree
ment to report.
