A Natural Financier.

A group were talking few evenings
ago about some remarkable exhibitions
of nerve" when one said: 81 think
saw about as ''nervy' display of i'm
pudence as 1 ever heard of in cigar
store in this city few days ago. A
young man came in and asked for two
ten-cent cigars, throwing half-dollar
on the counter. The clerk gave him
the goods and rendered him in change
thirty cents-a nickel and a Canadian
twenty-fve-cent piece. The customer
objected to taking Canadian coin,
when the clerk said: We'll, sir, am
perfectly willing to give you American
money, if you prefer it, but suppose
you first give me an American half
dollar for this Canadian fifty-cent
piece you gave me. Utica Observer.

Uncle Allen Advises.

''I notice, my dear. said Uncle Allen
Sparks to one of his nieces, that when
you have a toothache it's the worst
you ever had. The young man who
was here last night was the ugliest
fellow you ever saw. According to
your statement little while ago it
took you forever and day to learn
how to make a sponge cake. The
house, you say, is full of flies. You
have just declared that the room is as
hot as an oven, you have the dreadful
est headache you ever had in your life,
and the boy across the road is making
the fearfulest racket boy ever made.
Don't you see, my child, this sort of
thing won't do? Some time in your
life you will really have an experience
requiring the superlative degree to de-
scribe it and you won't be able to con-
vey any idea of it. You will have used
up all your adjectives. That is all.
You can go to humping the piano
again. "-Chicago Tribune.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Orange Judd Farmers Estimate of the
Yield of Three Leading Products.

Orange Judd Farmers Estimate of the
Yield of Three Leading Products.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The crop report of
the Orange Judd Farmer, published
this week, states that husking is devel-
oping some disappointment in the
yield of corn in districts where the
heaviest yield was expected. Dry
weather during the last six weeks
of the season caused some premature
ripening and shorte the ear The
average is about 27.9 bushels, and the
total crop 2,272. 900, 900 bushels. The
area sown to winter wheat appears
larger than the area harvested this
year in every state of Importance east
of the Rocky mountains, except Illi-
nois and Missouri. In the Ohio and
Missouri valleys the area was in
creased in order to return part
of the corn acreage to meadow,
wheat being sown as a nurse crop
with grass. The total acreage, assum-
ing that California will seed as much
as last year, appears to be about 90
600. 900 acres, or 1900, 600 more than
was harvested this year, and almost
the same as was planted last fall. The
potato crop is estimated to yield $780,
100000 bushels at the rate of ninety
bushels per acre. The heavy yields
are in the northwest, where the crop
is too large to be proitably handled.

a HORRIBLE DEATH.

A Negro BNrned at the Stake for Assault
Ing and Numbering White Woman.
TYLER, Tex. Oct. 3O.-The negro
who SO brutality assaulted and murder
ed Mrs. Bell, was captured yesterday
morning about o'clock, miles from
kllgOre. Soon after the officers had
him handcuffed mob of some 200
men, heavily armed, arrived on the
scene and demanded the immediate
surrender of the prisoner, which was
reluctantly given. The mob started
for the scene of the murder, where they
arrived in the afternoon at o'clock.
The crowd continued to gather until
nearly 1000 citizens of Tyler and vicin-
ity were there. A few moments before
the fiend was brought to the place a
meeting was held and COM
mittee was appointed to investi-
gate his identity. Witnesses were
summoned and closely questioned.
The result was thorough Identified
ton. In a few minutes an officer APP
peared from over the hill followed by
800 determined and we'll armed men.
When near the scene the officers were
overpowered and disarmed, and the
negro, Henry Hillard, brought before
the committee. He made a full con-
fession to the effect that he had as
saulted Mrs. Bell and then cut her
throat.
After his confession and thorough
Identification vote was taken as to
the mode of punishment. It was unan-
imously agreed to burn him alive, and
that he should suffer the penalty on
the public square. The line of march
was taken up toward Tyler, and
at o'clock the head of the
line entered the main street,
where no less than 1000 people
were arrested. A scaffold was erected
and the miserable culprit was burned
in the presence of the assembled thou
sands,

CLERGYS PERMITS.
One Hundred and Seventy-flve Thousand

One Hundred and Seventy-flve Thousand
Issued by the Railroads Last Year.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 29.-It is
probable that a new bureau will be
formed as a part of the Western Pas
senger association, to have the hand.
ling of the clergy permits alone. The
work is sufficient to keep force of
clerks busy throughout the year.
Last year the roads in the as
ISOLATION issued an aggregate of IT'S, OOO
clergy permits, and as the chairman
of the association had supervision over
the matter, he was called upon to in
vestigate $4,000 applications, and OF
those 5000 were refused. 1t is pro-
posed to make the new bureau self
supporting by compelling each appli-
can't to pay so cents at the time of re-
ceiving his permit.

MORE ATROCITIES.

Mohammedan Rioters Burn Many Arme-
mans at the Stake.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 29.-In TIE
Baiburt district, between Erzeroum
and Ire bizond, mob of about 500 No
hammedans and Lazes, the great ma
jority of whom were armed with Mar
tini-Henry rifles, made an attack upon
the Armenians of several villages of
that vicinity and set fire to their houses
and goods AS the Armenians fed
from their dwellings they were shot
down, and a number of men and wom-
en- who were captured by the rioters
were fastened to stakes and burned
alive. The Armenian women who fell
into the hands of the mob, it is also
asserted, were outraged and brutally
muti1ated.
It is also stated that the churches
were destroyed and the villages
pillaged, the cattle and all the port
able property of any value belonging
to the Armenians being carried off by
the marauders. During the disturb.
ance $50 Armenians are reported to
have been killed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80. -Commissioner
William L. Lochren, of the pension
office, in his annual report, makes sew
eral pointed suggestions. Under the
head of patriotism and pensions he
saws: S<Those men who enlisted early
and fought the battles of the
war were not moved by mercenary
considerations, and unless actually
disa bled did not show the haste in
applying for pensions manifested by
those who enlisted nearer the close of
the war for large bounties and did
little actual service, and who are now
the noisiest in clamOring for more PEN
sions. As compared with the latter
class, the old soldiers of the war have
been modest in preferring claims for
pensions"
The commissioner says that many
disreputable and incompetent men are
engaged as pension attorneys, and sug-
gests that none but reputa BILE men be
allowed to practice in such cases.
Dishonest attorneys have given
much trouble by systematic, criminal
and fraudulent practices. Pension
payments, q the comm issioner says,
bring large amounts of money into
communities, and the fear that the
conviction of these attorneys would
lessen the influx of money has showed
itself in popular rancor against the
special examiners whose investiga-
tionS secured the conviction of criuli-
nails The special examination division
will not require as much money
as in the past, for the reason
that vigorous prosecution of frauds
and crimes has discouraged and meas
urably stopped frauds. The death of
many witnesses and the age of claim
ants has made it quite difficult in many
cases lately to obtain proof sufficient
for the granting of pensions. The
commissioner recommends that some
provision be made for the maintenance
of deserving clerks in his bureau who
have been long in the service and have
become practically disa bled.
The report shows that the number
of pensioners June so, 1894, was $685.,
544; new pensioners added during the
year, 80, 1856; dropped pensioners re-
stored, 4,2O6; deaths during the year,
29,816; dropped for causes, IA, SIS; max
ing a net increase of pensioners
during the year of $50. Pension
claims allowed during the year,
80, 1S5; denied, 1O3, 355; cases pend
ing. 552,21O. The appropria ton
for the year was $3.50, 900, 600, and
there was paid during the year S138,-
SO7. 33z The estimates for pensions for
1897 are $40, 900, OO0 for pension pay
ments, $500, 600 for surgeons fees, and
$3.50, 600 for clerk hire at the pension
agencies, and about 5000, 900 for other
expenses.
The commissioner commends the
vigor of the department OF justice and
of pension examiners in prosecuting
dishonest attorneys and others who
are engaged in pension frauds. Two
hundred and ninety-four persons were
convicted during the year for frauds.

OAK FORESTS OF AMERICA.

Rapid Disappearance OF the Woods That
Were Once the Nations Pride.
The magnificent oak forests north
of the Ohio river, in the central part
of the northern states, have largely
disappeared. Within the last five
years there has been an increasing de-
mand for oak in spite of business de-
preston, more especially for such tim
Der as goes into house finishing, in
Guiding plain and quarter-sawed red
oak and white oak. The duration of
the Wisconsin red oak supply is now
pretty plainly Indicated, and in the
meantime remnants of Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan and southern Illinois oak
will have disappeared, except in small
farm holdings, and the great bulk of
the supply will thereafter come from
south of the Ohio. OF course there is
oak in all the southern states, but the
alluvial bottom lands must furnish the
great bulk of the tim Der, and as Ken
tnclxy and Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia are partly denuded, the main
supply will soon be derived from the
lower Mississippi and its tributaries
If the finest area of oak timber in the
world, namely, that north of the Ohio
river, has been stripped while the
country's population and industries
were comparatively small, how long
will the remaining supply last when
the needs are measured by our future
population and industrial development?
Walnut is gone; cherry, birch and
maple will not last many years, and
therefore the demand for oak will be
much greater and will rapidly increase.
1t must be rememb ered, too, that oak
lands are good for agriculture after
the timber is cut, and for this reason
the denudation will go on with greater
rapidity than on the lands less valua-
BILE for tillage. When the tide of emil
grafton sets strongly toward the allu-
vial areas of the lower Mississippi and
its tributaries the hardwood forests
will melt rapidly away before the at
tacks of the farmer. It is for this rea-
son that large holdings of southern
oak and other hardwoods are now
being secured in the south. After a
few years opportunities for such in
vestments on large scale will be gone
forever. Garden and Forest.

ON INSURANCE,
A Report on the German System of Insur
ing LabOrers.

A Report on the German System of Insur-
ing LabOrers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-United States
Consul-Genera1 German at Zurich,
Switzerland, has sent to the state de-
partment a report upon the operation
of Germany's law for the insurance of
laborers against sickness, accident and
old age, which has now been in opera
ton for ten years. He states that
there has been paid on account
of this insurance since the law went
into effect S437, 500, 600, the govern
ment, the employers and the en-
ployes sharing the expense. He men
tions the fact that the German in
dustrials complain of the heavy tax
involved in the payment of the in
surance, but the report indicates that
the nation is, as a whole, proud of the
institution. The Germans are the
pioneers in this class of insurance, but
Austria has partially followed suit and
Switzerland is now engaged in for
mulating labor insurance law. Mr..
German says that Sweden and Nor
way and Great Britain also contem-
plate the adoption of the German sys-
