answer to that plea. 1t stands first
upon the list of our engagements.
We should meet it for our own sake

Senate, after fighting over a tariff
measure for months, finally pro-
duced a measure that was not sat

A CATHOLIC priest of Delaware
is reported as having been called

is instances like these which bring
to mind what a grasp custom, be it
foolish or otherwise, has upon the
minds Of the general rum of civil
ized beings. Mr.. Rusk, while Sec
rotary Of Agriculture under Presi-
dent Harrison, used to receive mis-
aixaa- from occasional rural COR
respondents stating that they could
not vote the Republican ticket if
the representative of the farmers
in the Cabinet persisted in going to

Why getting astride of two wheels
and an iron framework and maxi
ing ones feet go up and down is
inclined to lower a PERSONS dignity
or modesty is beyond the grasp of
an average human mind. To be
sure, some people look like large
sized grasshoppers, but if such a
method of locomotion meets the
appreciation of those DESTROYS Of
getting over the ground rapidly or
INDUCING in a healthful exercise,
it should at least be free from con-
demning criticism. The man or

When a man puts his wits
together and invents machin-
cry that saves money to the
farmer, the manufacturer or
the planter he is called the foe
to labor. The fact that he
gives to the world the means
of producing staples at less
cost, and consequently be-
comes a benefactor of the
masses indirectly is not re-
cognized. That he has taken
work from an individual or
certain classes of wage work
ers is sufficient cause for the
condemnation that is landed
on his head.
The man who invented the
sugar land implements that
we sell did that which acts to
a certain degree as an Offset
to any tariff legislation in the
United States.
A whole colony of planta-
ton laborers could not do in
one day what an Avery Stub
bic Digger operated by one
man can perform. 1t saves
labor and consequently coin.
In distributing fertilizers every
plantation manager knows
that it cannot be done by hand
without loss of material. By
the use of the Avery Fertilizer
Distributor the material is
spread so evenly that there
no loss whatever, and one
man with one of these machines
can do as much work, as
nine without it.
The results that follow the
use of these implements ap-
ply as well to the Stubble
Showers and Disc Cultivators.
The following testimonials
regarding the implements
should be a sufficient guaran- |
tee of their usefulness.

IT APPEARS from a bill ins!
in the Washington State BaG
that there are some people on the
Coast who are bound to extermin-
ate the Chinese if they have to re-
sort to the most ludicrous ways
and means. Mr.. Campbell is the
author of a measure making it un-
lawful for any male person to wear
a queue, penalty of $500 fine being
imposed for breaking the proposed
statute. This is on a par with the
attempted legislation in several
states against aMother Hubbards,"
crinoline, and numerous other arti-
cles of wearing apparel. Wash
ington Legislators must be pretty
hard-up for something to take their
attention IL they feel it necessary
to discuss methods of dressing the
hair. The spirit of useless discus
sion set on foot by the fifty-third
Congress is evidently contagious.

Of 1900 people at the Suffolk Athletic

more ands Steve O'Dcnnell Of Austral-
ia, Corbett's sparring partner, fought
eight rounds and at the close Patsy
Shepard, the referee, amid shouts of
"Kilrain,y declared the contest a
draw. While the referee was making
up his mind John l.. Sullivan, who
sat just outside the ropes, close by
I<ilrain's corner, mounted chair,
and waving his tile, demanded a de-
cision. When a draw was announced
he sprang into the arena and rushed
toward O'Donnell's corner. Two of
the econds grabbed him by the arm
and turned him aside, but he clasped
hands with Kilrain. in apparent con-
graduation and swinging his arms,
showed the latter how the fight might
have been won. He was ready, he
said, to challenge the winner if the
referee would only name one. The ex-
champion was finally led off by his
friends and the scene, which caused
the widest excitement, ended. 1t took
the referee five minutes to make up
l:is mind what decision to make. Kill
rain had the best of the last round
and at tines it looked as if he was
going to pat O'Donnell out. He had
not the force, however, but his old
time pluck asserted itself and with

By Its Provisions the Two Daughters

Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 1S.-The
contention in the courts over the mil
lions left by James G. Fair developed
another sensation this morning. When
the case was called before Superior
Judge Slack, a great stir was CAUSED
by the introduction of what purports
to be later Photographic will written
in lead pencil on two sheets of legal
cap paper. 1t was brought into court
securely framed between two plates Of
glass, by Reuben Lloyd, who has been
retained in the case by Virginia Fair
and Mrs. Oelrichs, daughters of the
deceased. This alleged will divides
the estate almost equally between the
two daughters and Charles Fair. 1t
bequeathS few thousand dollars to
certain orphan asylums, and makes
no provision for such a trust as the
estate is left in control of under the
will previously filed.
Messrs Angus and Crothers are two,
of the four executors named in the
previously filed will. Referring to-
this alleged will, Attorney Lloyd in
formed the court that the document,
according to its date, was executed
three days later than the will pre-
viously filed. He said he would prove.
that the existence Of this will had been
known to several persons, and that it
had finally been found in the possess
ion of an estimable old lady, whose
name Lloyd did not divulge. Lloyd
said the old lady had not produced it
because she had read of the other will
being offered for probate, and had sup
posed it was a Latter document than
the one she held. The fact that this

POWERFUL COMBINATION.

Office department has information Of
the formation of a powerful combi-

bring a high pressure upon congress
to oyerturn certain regulations and
rules Of the department. TIE depart
ment is now Informed that since the
failure OF legislation in the last con-
gresa increasing the pay of these en-
ployes, a. combination has been formed
to pass this legislation and also to
overturn those rules of the department
which are unsatisfactory to them. A
high official of the department said to-
day:
'"Dhis combination includes some
thousands of employees in the railway
mail service, the letter carriers serv-
ice and in postoffices. They are all in
the classified service and protected
from removal. The effect of this COM
bination would be to create senti-
ment against the civil service law
which protects these employees"
