saw a wayworn preacher
In seedy garments clad,
Holding down the station
II seemed that he was sad,
His pocketbook was empty
Provisions nearly gone
But he shouted as he tramped around
" Deiverance will come"
Chorus Then palms of Victory, etc.
The summer sun was shining,
The sweat on his face,
His step of early morning,
Had quickened to pace,
But the people even grumbled
Because he would not run,
Still he shouted as he visited,
" Deiverance will come"
Chorus-Then palms, etc,
saw him in the evening
The sun bending low;
He had that tired feeling,
His step was very slow;
But as he dragged his weary limbs
Toward his humble home,
He shouted loud, Hosanna;
Deliverance will come"
Chorus Then palms etc.
lie went to bed at twelve o'clock,
But he could not go to sleep,
For his wife had said for breakfast
They had not much to eat;
But wht n they rose next morning
with heart so sad and sore,
He found ham of bacon
And some -four at the door.
Chorus-Then palms, etc.
The Conference a.comng on
The salary was behind;
He had no clothing fit to wear,
Which weighed upon his mind.
But the day before he started,
The ladies rugged him out
In a brand new suit for Conference,
Which made our preacher shout.
Chorus-O, palms, etc.
The Conference ground out business
Along from day to day,
Till the time came for appointments
And the Bishop had his say.
Our preacher listened daily
To see where he would fall
He was made presiding elder.
And that atoned for all

A new device for towing canal boats
by electrical power was tested on the
Erie canal Saturday, Tonawanda, NY.
Unlike previous experiments,i in which
the electric motor was either put on
the boat or run on track laid for it
on the towpath, in this case the
motor was suspended in the air
from a cable heavy enough to sup
port it, on which the current was
carried. A man seated behind
the motor directed it's movement. It
is capable of a speed of Is miles an
hour, but the speed can be graduated.
1t is thought that speed of more
than six miles an hour would not be
possible unless the canal banks are
further directed from the wash of the
boats. The boats were moved Satur-
day against the current at the rate of
three and three ffths miles an hour
with the current at four and one tenth
miles, At this rate of speed the boats
with the new motor would make two
trips where before they made one
and, it is said, at reduced cost for
power.

| Representative Kirkpatrick, good
republican who succeeds Hudson, a
| populist, as congressman from the
| third Kansas district, is in Washing
| ton. When asked who was the favor
lite presidential candidate of Kansas
republicans, he said: 1T think Nc
Kinley has a little advantage in our
state; he has visited US several times
and made many admirers. But Mr..
Reed also has many followers. The
Kansans like sturdy fighter such as
the Maine man has proved himself.
We would be we'll pleased with either
of these two. Either can carry the
state. Populism is thing of the past
and will cut no more figure in Kan
sas. My opinion is that next year,
seeing themselves in such hopeless
minority, the Populists will support
the democratic electoral ticket in re-
turn for some favors in the selection
of state ticket. Right now there is
no talk of such a combination, and, in
fact, they profess to dislike each
other intensely. Whether they fuse
or not will be of no consequence to
the republicans, because no opposi-
ton ticket will have the slightest
chance for success"
How earnest Pittsburgh is about
securing the republican National
Convention may be judged by the
talk of Mr.. @. T. Rawls, of that city,
who is now in Washington helping
the project along. He said: "Our
citizens have already pledged them
selves to contribute $1,000, and be-
fore the National Committee meets
to decide on the matter they will
have increased it to 100000. About
the only charge that is brought
against US is lack of adequate hotel
facilities, and yet we took care of the
Grand Army meeting little while
ago in splendid style. I don't think
there is any reason to fear that the
delegates and visitors would suffer
from poor accommodations. We have
one of the greatest auditoriums in the
country in our exposition building,
which can by little alteration, be
turned into a convention hall capable
of seating Is, 600 people,"
The $685. 900 year which Don M.
Dickinson, of Michigan, is said to re-
ceive from the brewers because of his
supposed influence with Mr.. Cleve-
land and his consequent ability to
look out for the brewing interests, is
in danger of being cut off. Mr.. Dick
inson has been sat upon by Mr.. Cleve-
land in manner that indicates the
loss of whatever influence he may
have had with the administration.
Mr. Dickinson undertook to have two
of the new gun boats authorized by
Congress built by Detroit firm, not

Britain, which prohibits either gov

WASHl NfITON LETTER.
Washington, Nor. 4, 1895.

Washington, NoU. 4, 1895.
MIR. Cleveland is worried about how
to approach the subject of increasing
the revenues Of the government, IN
his annual message to Congress, and
no member of his Cabinet has so far
been able to suggest any satisfactory
solution of the trouble. If he ever
thought the present tariff would pro-
duce enough money, which is very
doubtful, he knows now beyond the
shadow of a doubt that it will not. Of
course he knows, as everybody else
does, that Congress will legislate on
this subject regardless of his recon-
mendation, but that knowledge does
not help him any. He knows also
that unless the democrats propose al
lowing the presidential election to go
by default it is absolutely necessary
for that party to make some definite
declaration on the subject, and that
as the official head of the party he
ought to make it in his message to
Congress. For him to recommend
raising the needed revenue by amend
ment of the tariff law would be to ac-
knowledge the error of the democrat
ic party and himself on the tariff
question. That he will not do, what
ever he may think. Nothing is left
then but to recommend an increase
in internal revenue taxes and in the
number of articles subject to such
taxation, or both. He knows that no
recommendation in that line will be
popular, and it is not strange that he
should be worried.
There is but one opinion among
republican senators and members of
the House who have been heard from.
That is, that if the administration gets
the money it needs it will be through
amendments to the tariff law, placing
certain articles now free of duty,
which enter into active competition
with similar articles produced in the
United States, upon the dutiable list,
and increasing the duties upon other
articles of foreign production, the low
duties upon which now cripple
number of American industries by
reducing the output of our mills and
factories. 1t has been said that the
Senate will not pass such amendments
if adopted by the House, and that if
it did Mr.. Cleveland would veto them.
Well, that is for the Senate and Mr..
Cleveland to decide. The House is
republican, as is the country, and it is
going to legislate on republican lines,
and if its legislation fails to become
laws the people will be appealed to,
and they will see to it that after
March 4, 1897, there will be a republi-
can Senate and President as we'll as
republican House.

eminent building war ships on the

ed Mr.. Dickinson down; he appealed
to Mr.. Cleveland, and now Mr.. Cleve-
land has turned him down. It remains
to be seen whether the brewers will
also turn him down.

The ST. Steven Mission on the Grow
reservation, twenty five miles from
Highmore, S. D., was totally destroy
ed by fire last week. The buildings
were erected by Miss Kate DreXel
nine years ago for an Indian school,
and were under the supervision of the
Roman Catholics. The loss is $25, 900,
partly covered by insurance.
There were severe and prolonged
earthquake shocks at Rome last Fri
day. Many houses swayed badly,
walls cracked, and panic stricken
people ran into the streets. The pri
son of Regina Coei was SO badly
shaken that the terrified prisoners
broke into revolt and tried to escape
from the building. The troops in the
neighboring barracks were hastily
summoned, took possession of the
building and restored order. The Pope
was tranquil during the disturbance,
which was SO serious that he sent to
the police station to learn the damage.

the old table were unsafe and they have
been taken out and replaced with new

become rusty and work with difficulty in

gines used will be housed here.

Mrs, Crittenden's Death,

DR.. Slaughter has received notice of
the death of Mrs. Catharine Todd Crit
tenden, widow of his cousin, the late
Maj. Gen. II. L. C.ittenden, who was past
commandment at Fort Rice in the early
seventies. Mrs. Crittenden was then a
prominent figure in social life at Wash
ington and at Frankfort, Ky. At Fort
Rice, by virtue of her position as wife of
the ~commandant, she was the leader III a
brilliant coterie of officers and ladies
that sought by a succession of hops,
theatricals, select readings, dinner par
ties and other fashionable amusements
to find diversion in the midst of Indian
alarms, and to vary the loneliness of gar
rison life in a country unexplored and
uninhablted save by hostile Souix.

The p%enitentiary board finished up it's
business Wednesday and adjourned till
May 1. The board had been IN session
two days at the time of it's adjournment,
and finished up the greater part of the
business which came before them in
connection with the change in the man.
agement of the institution. One of the
matters which occupied a greater part of
their time was the consideration of the
inventory of the property of the inst'tu-
ton, which was made by Messrs. Wilson
and Boucher on the week preceding the
meeting Of the board. Prior to this
there was 10 inventoried account of the
belongings Of the institution, and the
examination by the board OF the one pre-
pared took some time. The work has
been finished now, however, and the pen
is in the hands Of the new management.
Yesterday the board considered the
question of the deputyship to the war
den. This has been the most interest
ing topic, perhaps, since the appointment
OF the warden, and as there have been
several candidates for the place, specula-
ton was rife as to which one would be
successful. There was some division,
too, in the board as to who should be ap-
pointed, but a majority of them favored
Murdoch Mckenzie, and yesterday he
was named for the place. The position
of %penitentiary physician was filled by
the.appointment of DR.. John Harcourt.
The matronship was given to Mary B.
Wilson, and J. L. Kennedy and j. w.
Pennell were appointed guards to take
the places of A. E. Lucas and Charles
Kaufman. The latter two have been
at the institution for some years. but
their heads dropped into the basket with
the change of man agement. It is cald,
also, that several other of the working
force are on the list for decapitation as
o as the new officers get the hang of
things,

alton for the institution. tie board has
made several reductions in salaries of
guards and employees. The salaries have
been cut about 20 per cent on the ave-
rage. The chief keeper, who has received
$50 per month, will receive $40 under the
new management: the assistant keeper has
been cut from $45 to S335, and the gate.
keeper $50 to $50. Guards have been
reduced from S35 to 30. Even with this
cut the salaries will exceed the appro-
priations slightly.
The board did not settle upon a clerk
at its meeting Wednesday. ia. Mclean
will probably be engaged in clerical work
at the institution for a time, but the per-
manent appointment has not been made.

North Dakota Inventor.

New York Weekly Tribune: Howard
Packer, of Williamsport, N. D., who has
sent us descriptions of several Inventions
partially worked out by him, has con-
ceived the idea of getting lightness and
power from a gas engine il a flying ma
chine by using gas compressed to a
liquid form and carried in storage cylin-
ders. He would pass this through a red
hot chamber and thus obtain, he esti-
mates, a pressure of $500 pounds to the
square inch. He thinks he could develop
$50 horse power for an hour or two with
a weight not exceeding 700 pounds.
