A Good Sale.

The public horse sale held by William
Neiswender, on North Main street, yester-
day, was a good one. Many horsemen
from distant points were in attendance
and at times the bidding was spirited.
One fine team of blacks brought $500. Mr.,
Neisw ender sold nearly the entire stock
and quit the sale several hundred dollars
richer than he was when it started. The
most lively bidders were several Polish
and Lithuanian business men. These
people are great admirers of good horse
flesh, and if they take liking to an
animal will not let it slip through their
hands for the sake of an extra bid or
two. The $500 team was bought by one
of them. Mr.. Neiswender is negotiating
for another car load Of Western horses
and will have a sale next week,

CROP REPORT.
Government Estimate of the Corn and
 Wheat in Farmers Hands.

Government Estimate of the Corn and
 Wheat in Farmers Hands.
 WASHINGTON, March 13.-The crop report of the department of agriculture for the month of March consists prin. cipally of estimates of the distribution of corn and wheat, the stocks remain ing in the hands of farmers, and the proportion of merchantable and un. merchantable. The report is based on country estimates of the percentage of last years product remaining in first hands. Obvious errors and inconsist- encies of statement being corrected and differences harmonized, all grain in the hands of farmers, including amounts remaining over from previous years, are embraced in the estimates given.
 The corn on hand as estimated aggre. gates 475, ,564, 45O bushels, or 392 per cent. of the last crop. This proportion has been exceeded but four times in the last ten years; the quantity, how. ever, is an unprecedentedly small one. The consumption of corn for eight months is an unusually small one, which fact is explained by the large amounts of wheat fed to stock. The aggregate sold from farms to go be- yond county boundaries is 162, 934, ,G4O bushels, or 13.4 per cent. of the crop. The proportion merchanta ble is 999, 400,. 600 bushels,o or s2.4 per cent. The values returned for merchantable corn aver. age AS cents, and for unmerchant. able 2s.6 cents. making an aggre. gate value of S5Os.71l, 12S, which is S46,- 0O0,OOO less than the December valua- tion of the crop, and averages 4l.9 cents per bushel.
 The estimated amount of wheat in farmers hands is 75,OOO, 900 bushels, or 16.3 per cent. of the last crop, and 39,- O00,0 900 bushels less than last March. The explanation for this enlarged measure is to be found in the fact that large quantities have been fed to hogs and other stock. Returns from North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan. sas indicate an unprecedented exhaus. tion of last years crop, correspondents in many counties reporting not enough on hand for spring seed and necessary food supply.

Don't Experiment on Baby.

In the first place every mother should make the inflexible rule in her house. hold that no risks may be run with her baby. Experiment upon yourself if you will, but you have to right to sub init your innocent child to the danger of experiments. Do not 'try" this and that which every neighbor recom- mends. Have a family physician in whom you have every confidence, and follow his instructions to the minutest details. You owe this to him and to your child. In the nineteenth century science has made wonderful advances, and in civilized America the ''garb woman" has no place to-day. It may be true that some ''aunty" in your neighborhood knows more about babies than do some physicians, but the moral is, not to listen with implicit faith to the ''aunty," but to employ doctor who does understand his profession, Womankind.

WARSHIP LOST.
Spanish Cruiser Thought to Have Found-
 cred or the Coast of Morocco.

Spanish Cruiser Thought to Have Found-
 cred or the Coast of Morocco.
 GIBRALTAR, March 14.-The Spanish cruiser ReiDa Regente is believed to have foundered off the coast of Morocco during recent gale. She had crew of 420 officers and men. Pieces of one of her boats and semaphore flags are reported to have been picked up along the coast near Ceutia and Tarifa. The Reina Regente, Alfonso XIII. and Lepanto are three new sec ond-class deck-protected cruisers of the same build. They are of 4,sOO tons, having 12,000 horse power, and were expected to steam twenty knots.
 The Reina Regente had just conveyed the returning Moorish mission to Tan giers. She left that port March 10 for Cadiz, and had not since been heard of. The absence of news from her is caus- ing the greatest anxiety, and it is be- lieved that she has been lost with all hands. The cruisers Isla De Luzon, of the Spanish fleet, sailed yesterday from Algiers in search of the missing cruiser.

RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS.
A Mob of White Laborers Shoot Down Negroes Who Had Taken Their Places.

Mob of White Laborers Shoot Down
 Negroes Who Had Taken Their Places.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 13.-The thick fog early yesterday morning was the veil behind which desperate white levee laborers gathered, and which they penetrated with Winchester rife balls, aimed at the colored non-union workmen at the ships. The work of rioting and bloodshed began at 2 o'clock and resulted in the killing of two men and the wholesale discharge of fire arms in two different sections of the city. After o'clock Monday evening, though there was intense ex- citement along the levee and many drunken worlmen were present, thers were no deeds of violence. The police were massed in the Sixth precinct po- lice station and had remained there all night. Everything was reported quiet, and they were hopeful that everything would remain so, when there came a message that dozen men had been killed in front of Jackson square and that terrible riot was in progress. The police were at once hustled into the patrol wagons, which were at the station, and were hurried nwayuto the scene of the trouble.
 While this was going on the vicinity of the French market was in excite ment. A bloody riot had occurred there. Four negroes had been shot and one Caribbean killed. The trouble occurred on the levee, at the landing of the Harrison line of steamships, opposite the Jackson square. In the fog which prevailed mob of 100 armed men got through the guards of the po- lice and opened fire on the negroes who jumping into the river. Those who ran across the levee in the direction of the square were subjected to a deadly volley. The shots seemed to come from doorways, windows, gal leries and streets Look where they would the negroes saw pistols and heard the reports as the revolvers were discharged. Each man then ran in a different direction, and the poor crea- lures seemed panic stricken. Those seen by a reporter say that it is i'm. possible to state how many were shot,
 Calmly reviewing the happenings of the morning, everything would seem to indicate the attack to be prear- ranged affair. It is rumored, and there is every reason to believe the rumor correct, that secret meeting was held Monday night and the bloody affair of yesterday morning carefully mapped out.

HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

Two hints in kitchen chemistry are to rub tough meat with cut lemon, which will exercise an excellent influ- ence, and to serve fried apples, sweet ' ones if you can, with liver and kidneys.
 Aunt Jennie's Crullers: Beat three eggs, add one cupful of sugar, butter size of an egg rubbed in about cupful Of flour. Flavor, then mix quite stiff with about two cupfuls of flour, roll out, braid ,or cut in any fanciful shape, and fry in hot lard.-Good Housekeep- ing.
 Minute Pudding: Allow one cup Of milk for every person. Place over the fire and let it come to boil. Stir in one egg and one spoonful of flour to each cup, wet in a little milk. Stir well; cook few moments, and pour into buttered cups. Serve cold with cream.-City and Country.
 Japanese Salad: Cut two hot, boiled potatoes into dice, add six cooked or canned mushrooms chopped fine; mix, and add one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of onion-juice, quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Sprinkle over this four tablespoonfuls of white wine and stand on ice. When ready to serve, add twelve sardines; turn into salad on lettuce leaves; cover with French dressing.-N. Y. Ledger.
 Oysters dipped in rich sauce, so as to be deeply coated with a white jelly, which may be favored with eel cry, chopped pickle, mushroom, etc., then set on the ice upon oiled plate so as to chill the sauce before dipping in egg and erumb to fry. will be found both elegant and delicious. Take great care to have thick coat of egg and crumb. The cracker meal should be used very freely for all frying; not mere sitting on a plate, but deep dish is required. Under this brown shell when the oyster is fried, lies the coating of creamy, highly-seasoned, melting sauce.
 -Beefsteak Stewed Without Water: Take three or four pounds of rump steak, cut about an inch thick. sPut two tablespoonfuls of butter in fry ing pan large enough to hold the steak, and let the butter melt without burn ing. Remove the fat from the steak, wa2h quickly in cold water and put it into the pan. As soon as it is thor oughly heated through season with saltspoonful of pepper and a tea. spoonful of salt. Cover the pan close and set back where it will simmer, not boil. When perfectly tender, which will be an hour and half or two hours, remove the steak to a hot plat. ter, and add half teacupful of tomato or two tablespoonfuls of walnut cat. sup to the gravy in the pan. Let it boil up and pour over the steak--Bos. ton Budget.

SURRENDERED TO STRIKERS.
River Coal Operators Will Pay Wages
 Equal to 89 Cents Per Ton.

River Coal Operators Will Pay Wages
 Equal to 89 Gents Per Ton.
 PITTSBURGH, Pa., March B. - The river coal operators met yesterday and surrendered to the strikers. They agree to pay 2% cents per bushel in the first three and 211 cents in the fourth pool. This is the same as 69 cents per ton. The LOGO river miners on strike have gone to work to-day. The break was caused by a rise in the rivers, which brought scores of empty craft that had to be filled at the mine. The railroad operators say when these boats are loaded the river mine owners will stop paying the rate. Sixty rail- road mine owners attended the meet ing to discuss the strike situation. Over fifty of them voted to continue the struggle. It was decided to hold no more conference with the strikers, and the conference committee was discharged.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES.
The Treasury Condition for the First Third of March shows Expenditures S2,O20,OOO Over Receipts.


 Over Receipts.
 WASHINGTON, March 14-The treas ury condition for the first third of March shows the receipts to have az gregated So, 325, 900, and the expendi- lures Sl1, ,354 1000, an excess of the ex- penditures over the receipts of g., ,029,- 900. An element of uncertainty not heretofore entering into treasury cal culations now has to be considered. It is the large sums of money ap- propriated by congress in the de- ficiency bill and sundry civil appro- priation bill. Many of these items are made immediately available, and the payment yesterday of S6l5,O0O on the ''civil and miscellaneous" accounts shows that some of them have begun to reach the cashiers desk. The cus- toms receipts show a continued and sustained improvement, being for the fiscal year up to date SlO5, SIT, 900, or nearly Sl,GO0,O00 more than for the same time last year. Internal revenue receipts are $5,O00,OO in excess of this time last year, but improvement in both sources must be shown for the last third of the fiscal year, or govern ment revenues for the entire fiscal year will fall considerably below the estimates.

DRAPERlES AND PORTIERES.
Effective and Inexpensive Hangings for
 the Winter Home.

EncctlVe ana Inexpensive Hangings for
 the Winter Home.
 Nowadays the possession of an artis. tic little home does not necessarily mean that one must have large bank account. Many charming effects are easily attained at little cost.
 Draperies possess wonderful trans. forming powers, and they are now sell. ing at prices which even the owner oi a small apartment can afford to pay. There are tapestries for portieres which in richness of color rival the rare tapes. tries of old. Yet on close inspection they are found to be merely a cotton ia bric, and sell for one dollar and seventy-fve cents yard. These tapestries are effective as a portiere between the hall and parlor of a flat. The French fabrics which are a combination of cotton and silk are simply exquisite for draperies. They come in all the new colors and designs, and cost two dollars and a quarter a yard. In delicate array, the new green and salmon pink they are exceedingly decorative.
 The empire wreath is a popular design, and conventional flowers in pale tint are the vogue. The double. faced French fabrics are also desirable for portieres. They are economical investments, as one portiere hung be. tween the the dining-room and parlor answers as the drapery for each room. The fabric is finished alike on both sikes. Silk Shella, which comes in all the solid colors, makes a soft, de. lightful portiere, and its wearing capacity is unequaled. Artistic Bagdads may be bought for very little money. They make the best sort of background for a cozy corner, and are useful to throw over a divan which is somewhat the worse for wear.
 If one can afford it there is nothing more exquisite for a parlor drapery than satin damask. This material sells at eleven dollars a yard, and shows, com binations of color worthy of skilled artist. Vines of delicate pink roses climb over a soft, gray-green background in one design, and another shows pattern of green and silver palm leaves, shimmering against foundation of dim old rose. Notwith. standing the beauty of the satin damask, the French cotton and silk fabrics, which cost two dollars and twenty-five cents yard, make sub- stitute so artistic and delightful that economy is robbed of more than half its sting.--N. Y. World.

THE FIFTY.THIRD CONGRESS.
Passing of tho Worst Body in tho History
 of tho Nation.

OI Cn0 NuuiOu.
 The Fifty-third congress is ended. In its passing republicans and demo. crats alike rejoice. It has done little that is good and much that is bad. IL has plunged the country into depres. sion without reason, and has shown where recognized as necessary and wise. For two years it has kept the country in a fever of apprehension, simply because it had theories which it desired to exploit, and which the plain sense of the people repudiated. It upset tariff law under which American industries were prospering as never before, and substituted one framed under conditions full of scan- 6al. Even the democratic president felt impelled to denounce the dicker- ing with the sugar trust, but he had not the courage to veto the result of the deal.
 For the first time in generation, the democrats held full control of all departments of the government, and it was expected that they would develop consistent policy. In anticipation of the changes business halted and panic came. The administration said the silver purchase law was responsi. ble, and the republicans humored it to the extent of assisting in its repeal. Matters did not mend, and then it was said that only tariff reform could bring renewed prosperity. That was en. acted, and still depression fingered. So the administration turned to the currency as the root of all the evil, and called for legislation reviving wildcat banking and generally revolutionizing currency matters. Before that meas. ure could be acted upon modification came from the administration. Then came another and still another, and it became evident that if the democratic leaders knew what was the trouble they were determined not to admit it. The juggling and jumbling went on until the climax was reached in a secret bond contract which will cost the country from ten to sixteen million dollars
 That is the record of the democratic Fifty-third congress-a record of com. plete and disastrous failure, a record marked with accompanying business disaster and general industrial de. precision, a record which must forever stand as proof that the democratic party has not the intelligence to under. stand the needs of great government or the good sense to accept wise coun- sel when it is offered. It is a costly lesson the people have learned, but they have learned it thoroughly.
 Not all democrats are of this incap- able kind, but the dominating infu- ence in their party is ignorant of many things and unsound on all the sub jects it pretends to understand. So strong is the proof of this that good democrats the country over are re. joicing to-day that the democratic con. gress is no more, and that its successor will be under the control of the party which carried the government through the trials of great civil war and ad. vanced it to leading place among the prosperous and happy nations of the earth.
 The Fifty-third congress is dead. It would have been millions in the peck. cts of the American people if it never had lived.-Troy Times.
