State committee, they are in q sorry
plight. They say the election bill he
has prepared will never become law:
but if it should, what he has been be-
fore in their party will be as nothing 10
what he will be then, rs by it he will
practically have the nomination of
every republican candidate in the State.
The Comptroller of the Treasury
will to morrow hear arguments in favor
of paying the five and a half million
sugar bounty. The prevailing impress
sion here on the subject is that the
Comptroller was inspired to refuse
the payment from headquarters and
that the same inspiration will prevent
him from changing his decision.
Mr.. J. NJ. Hill, of the st. Asaph race
track, who was here to-day, being ask
ed about the report of the running of q
ringer at that track yesterday, said
there was no foundation for the story,
but that it was only natural for people
who lose bets to find fault. The case,
he said, had been thoroughly investi-
gated, and nothing in it been found
that Yves wrong.
1t is rumored that in the probable
reorganization of the Senate committees
Mr.. Jones, republican of Nevada, g
leading silverite, may want to be made
chairman of the finance committee of
that body and that as he has helped
the democrats on more than one occa-
sion before, and may not be indisposed
TO do 80 again, they may not be dispos-
ed to oppose his selection.
1t liz said here that the sale of some of the
C. & o. canal property here yesterday will be
null and void, as the Maryland courts will not
confirm it: also that the proposed sale of
MAryland's entire interest in the canal is
merely for the purpose of getting an estimate
ct the value of thst interest.

Rotating the Garden.

There is decided advantage in oc-
casionally changing the location Of the
garden. The crops in the garden re-
quire heavy manuring. AS they occu-
py the land every year there is no
chance to seed with clover, and the
soil, though rich enough, becomes too
heavy for profitable working. Where
a clover sod is plowed under the soil
is friable, and holds moisture without
becoming sodden. Many farmers do
not think Of changing their garden
spot until spring. Then it is too late
to make the soil rich enough for gar
dening purposes; but if clover ley is
top dressed heavily with manure In
the fall, and then plowed early In the
spring, it will be rich enough to grow
most kinds Of garden vegetables.
Such plat of ground that had been
frequently in clover will be less weedy
than one that has been always used as
u garden.

When buying Furs.

In buying furs especially for trim
ming, go to a first-class place, mas
much as the furs that are apparently
sold for cheap prices are usually
found lacking, writes Isabel A. NAL
Ion IN an eXquisitely illustrated arti-
Gle en- "The Correct Use Of Furs," in
the December Ladies' Home Journal.
Frequently they have not been taken
care of during the summer, aid the
moth has made his home among the
hairs, and in Il short time you will
find your gown OF skirt continually
covered with them. and wherever you
sit, OF whoever may be near, will also
suffer from the rain of loose fur. Ii a
good effect is produced by an imitation
fur buy it, but examine it we'll. Mink
is particularly well initiated, and as
the real fur is quite expensive it may
be taken for granted that on nine out
Of ten gowns the fur has never been
acquainted with that sllarp-look;ng lit
tie animal whose head just now is of
so much value. The limitations OF er-
mine are never good, and therefore
not to be thought of. Astrakhan is
sufficiently low in price to permit my
one getting a gown trimming to have
the real article itself. By-the-by, in
speaking of laces and furs, / forgot to
mention that over the deep fur capes,
those reaching far below the waist, it
is considered in perfectly good taste
to wear a shoulder cape of lace. Usu-
ally one of the sharplypointed designs
is chosen for this purpose.

Indians Gambling.

About month ago u party Of forty
or fifty Spokane and Kalispell Indians
visited their friends the Kootenais. on
the Kootenai reservation. in Washing
ton State. Their ostensible purpose was
trade, and their real object gambling.
They did up the Kootenais brown,
and, after a stay Of some three weeks,
left for home, taking with them al
most everything the Kootenais pos
sessed. All the winter supplies Of the
Kootenais are gone, and most Of them
have lost even their blankets, and arc
in a pltiable plight at the beginning

that they are even asking for work in

A serious blunder occurred in a West
Virginia county not long ago. A num-
ber Of the farmers had sustained losses
Of sheep from their respective flocks.
and, being skeptical as to the efficiency
Of the law officers, one night took the
matter in their own hands. A dozen
or more Of them proceeded some miles
away to the house of RehObeth Jem-
son. and, Notwithstanding his protesta-
tons of innocence, gave him severe
drubbing
The affair created no little stir, as
Rehobeth was very respectable col
nred man. who owned snug little
farm and was a deacon in the Baptist
church He had the confidence and es-
teen of his white ncighbors. who were
so worked up over the matter that they
considered the eXpediency Of an ILL
vestigation that should lead to the pun
islment Of the raiding party.
Within few days the farmers dis
covered they had made an awkward
mistake. the guilty party having been
caught red-handed and had made Il
full confess on; SO being in the main Il
right good set of fellows they decided
to offer balm to Rehobeth for his many
wounds Three Of their number were
! designated a committee with full pow
ers to act and they fastened TO the
discharge of their duty. Old Rehobcth
was sitting in his neat little cabin with
bandaged head, while his wife was ap-
plying a cooling wash to his lacerated
back. The committee looked foolish
and scarcely knew how to begin; hut
finally one Of the number stammered
out an apology, and added that they
were willing to pay reasonable
amount as recompense for his suffer-
| ingS.

New Signals for Cruisers.
The experiments which have been
carried on at Portsmouth, England in
the interchange Of communication be-
tween ships at varying distances, give
promise of complete revolution in
naval signaling. For example, sup
posing there are four cruisers ten miles
apart, and the flagship another ten
miles off. there will be chain fifty
miles long BY use Of cipher code
the furthest cruiser can, If she discov-
|ers the whereabouts and course Of the
enemy. pass n signal down the line
with almost the instantaneoushess Of
the telegraph, and the admiral can take
action promptly. SO by having four
lcruisers ON each side Of him the COM
mander OF the fleet can cover and Sc
cure instant communication over ra-
|iius of 100 miles. and so on indefinitely.
The plan Is so accurate that there can
be no mistake In the reading Of signals,
while the amount of time saved Ia a
