A Nickel Standard.

Five cents was the value which o
Texas farmer once placed upon a min
ister's prayer. The story is told in
the Epworth Era of the Rev. II. s.
1hrall, one of the pioneers of Method-
ism In Texas.
In company with a number of itin-
Grants, who were on their way to con-
ference, Doctor Thrall stopped to
spend the night with an old farmer.
1t was the custom then to settle the
bill at night, so that they might rise
about o'clock In the morning and ride
a good way before breakfast, and lie
by in the heat of the day.
Doctor Thrall, acting as spokesman
of the party, said to the old farmer
after supper, 'We are company Of
Methodist preachers going to confer
ence. II you will get the family to.
gether we will have prayers with you"
After prayers. one by one settled his
bill. Doctor Thrall's turn came, and
he asked for his bill. The old farmer
replied:
"Well, pa'son, charged the rest
% cents. but bein' as you prayed for
us so good, I won't charge you but
20 cents" The brethren had the laugh

The Noble Art Of "Grainine. ,

The right of "graining" TO rank
among the fine arts seems to have been
settled at the recent annual convention
ut Allentown of the Pennsylvania AS
sociatiOn of Master House Painters
and Decorators. Mr.. John Smethurst
''read paper" on the subject, and,
with fine scorn, showed what he
thought Of his traducers-of John Rus
kin in particular. Ruskin calls grain
ing sham, he said, but "Ruskin is a
sham himself" why" he asked,
SHOULD we believe this man, who has
never painted panel or grained a
door" Mr.. John Smethurst urged the
boys to go to work and earn an hon
est dollar-a thing John Ruskin had
never done In his life" q am quoting
from the official report of the conven-
tion in the trade organ, Painting and
Decorating) But it was not only for
the author and mon -"graining'C artist
that Mr.. John Smethurst showed his
contempt. Among other things he said:
ANY fellow can be lawyer or a
clergyman, but ii is widely different
with anything that Is worth knowing
markedly so with this art Of graining.
A man must have an artistic, passion
ate nature and love of the beautiful.
There is no shorthand method of max
ing grainers.
There is no master that ever lived
that can delineate anything more beau
tful than an oak panel. If were to
talk all day on the beauties of grain
ing, could not describe them"
AS my readers know, this is not the
first time that the artistic claims of
'graining" have been advocated in high
places-from Pennsylvania-but never
before so convincingly. Assuredly,
sooner or later, we shall hear of the
appointment of professor of grain
ing" In the State University. or the
fitness Of Mr.. Smethurst to occupy the
chair there can be no reasonable doubt.

The first Oklahoma Legislature was

1t was made up of men who had been
lodging soldiers and Indian police all
their lives and who, suddenly finding
themselves the owners of small farm

politics. Men who could not spell their

this number was Ira n. Terrill, now a

at least.

Assassination Threatened.

The Paris Petit Journal announces that
it has good authority for stating that the
prefecture of police has detailed a num-
ber of detectives to investigate an an
archist plot, the object of which is, or
was, to assassinate NJ. Faure, the presi-
dent Of the republic. during the fetes at
Havre in honor of his visit to that city.
According to the Petit Journal, an anar-
chist, known as Petit Bordeaux" man
of type similar to Casero, the murderer
of President Carnot, and Ravachol, the
anarchist who was executed after having
been convicted of being concerned in dy-
Mantle outrages, left London recently on
his way to Havre in order to assassinate
President Faure. Petit Bordeaux"
who is deserter from the French army,
was watched by the London police and by
the French detectives detailed to keep an
eye on anarchists in London. Conse-
quently his departure from London was
promptly signaled to the police of Paris
and of Havre. The authorities of these
two cities and elsewhere are taking the
most active precautions in order to pro-
tect the president from injury.

for Mr.. Scott the enviable reputation
which he for years held as one of tho
foremost newspaper men in the land.
Later Mr.. Scott was instrumental in
founding the Evening Post, and but few
weeks before his death successfully nego-
tiated the arrangements by which the
Herald absorbed the Times, and assumed
the title of Times-Herald, under which
it is now published. For three terms Mr..
Scott was chosen president of the Press
Club. He belonged to more social and
political clubs than any other man in
Chicago, and he was a favorite among
the members of all of them. His exer-
tions during the fight for the location of
the Worlds Fair were untiring, and he
did much to secure the victory for Chi
cago. His sudden death in New York
was peculiarly tragic. 1t came literally
in the hour of his success. He had just
secured control of the newspaper prop
critics to the building of which he had
given his best energies. Tired, but look
ing confidently to future in full conso-
nance with his hopes, he prepared to take
n little rest. Just over the threshold he
was stricken down.

The late James W., Scott. owner and
publisher of the Chicago Times-Herald
and Evening Post, came of a newspaper
family. His grandfather, as well as his
father, were newspaper men, and he be-
came active in the chosen field of his life
labors very early in life. He was born
in 1S49, at Wadsworth, Wis, but when
only a few years old moved with his
father to Galena, Ill. Here he attended
the public schools; after which he took
a course in Beloit College. His first
schooling in the newspaper business was
In the job Office attached to his fathers
paper at Galena, where he learned the
trade of practical printer. In 1873 he
started the Galena Industrial Press. This
was success, and two years later he
went to Chicago, determined to embark
in still wider fields Of journalism He
bought an interest in the Daily National
Hotel Reporter, which was financial
success, but Mr.. Scott was too ambitious
to content himself with anything short
of n great general daily newspaper, and
in the spring of 1881 he entered upon the
management of the Herald. The success

EvangeIist's Appeal to Heaven--In-
tcrior Gold Moves to Help Business
Prices Not Iustifcd.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly report OF
trade says: ''In every speculative depart
ment business is growing, but this is
really the least satisfactory feature of
the situation. Cotton, oil and wheat climb
above the export price, so that the mars
keting of products abroad must be cheyki
ed, and money is absorbed which oughttaI
be emptied in productive industry and In
distribution of products to consumersI
Everybody knows oil has not risen 100
per cent. because il is intrinsically more
valuable, nor is wheat actually worth
more than it was two or three weeks ago,
but the expansive and uplifting force has
fortunately taken to speculation rather
than to production, and so we have higher
prices in all speculative markets without
a large demand for consumption. Stories
of combinations between the Standard Oil
Company and Russia as to partition of
the oil-consuming territory by no means
account for recent prices of petroleum,
which appear to be entirely fictitious"

and asserting that he, is unable to govern
any longer, and that the officials he trust
ed are corrupt. 1t is added that the

and that there are signs of rebellion! The
document, however, is said to be this work
of the secret societies. Little doubf1ak
felt at the State Department in Wash
ington that the proclamation posted in
Shanghai announcing that the Chinese
empire is finished is really the work Of
secret societies, for there Is no record IN
history of the voluntary abdication Of a
Chinese emperor. 1t is said that these
secret societies, aimed at the existence of
the present dynasty, are numerically
strong in the central provinces, and 1t is
apprehended that upon the conclusion OF
peace their ranks will be swelled by the
disbanded soldiers influenced by the ISsln-

Oppressed People Will Rebel.

London dispatch: Armenia is preparing
Tor war. The revolutionary party has
now both money and guns. During the
past eight weeks money has poured into
the revolutionary treasury in steady
stream from the Armenian colonies in
Batoum, JTihis, Baku, Erivan, Etchmad-
zin and other places in Russia, and from
Rescht, Kazvin, Teheran, Tebriz, Khoi
and other cities in Persia. The central
idea of the plan of campaign is general
uprising Of Armeniaps throughout the
Turkish empire some time during the
month of May. The leaders have prom
ised the people in the eastern part of Ar
menia that the chief attack will be made
in the city of Constantinople itself, and
that the brunt of the fighting will be done
by the Armenian residents therein. The
leaders have even gone so far as to de-
clare that the first attack will be on the
palace of the sultan. The younger Turks,
particularly those who have Travelled
abroad, ardently wish that the present
sultan was anywhere except on the throne.
The Armenians have ut least 1900 Mar

in the mountains not a great distance
