Experience as an Educator.

1t is sometimes necessary to educate
the people to the use of some certain
article of food, and the poor and despised
grocer is compelled to become the educa-
tor.
Now, you say, what is he driving at?
Ny answer Isl White Wine Vinegar.
which is very necessary article at this
time of the year.
The housekeepers of Skowhegan have
been compelled in the past to use cider
vinegar, as il has been almost impossible
to get pure wine vinegar for pickles.
Thus it is. that some talk is necessary &c
induce them to try an article which is
conceded by all pickle manufacturers to
be the best preserving vinegar in the
world. We sell the White Wine Vinegar
from the celebrated II. j. Heinz Co.
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. They are
known the world over as being first class
pickle manufacturers, any thing bearing
their brand can be relied on as second to
none IN the market.
Now be reasonable don't allow your
prejudice TO condemn an article which
long experience has proved TO be SUI
perior to cider vinegar as a preserver.
Try it aud be convinced.

Her Conundrum.

1t is often hard to determine hit from
"good wit" in the case of children, and
some of their flashes of precocity seem not
to be unconscious, but rather the frag-
ment of some remembered knowledge.
A little maid of ., who had been listen
ing quietly to the puzzles and conundrums
of the older children, seemed at last to di.
gine the method of their construction, and
after some thought asked:
What could you get on a very high,
steep mountain?"
The answers were ice, snow, rocks, ea-
giles nests and the like, TO all of which
the little one persistently shook her head.
When asked to tell the answer, she tri.
umphantly cried, "Nothingp'
But why?' asked the others in breath.

THE Reading papers are publishing a story
of the famous riches of "a bachelor named
Eyert who left Reading many years
ago and settled in the coal region, the
exact location not being known. His
heirs have employed lawyer to lool, up
this fortune which is said toamouut to S3,O 900

operating some of the Eyert land. There is
sufficient ambiguity in the announcement to
arouse suspicion that the affair is another of
the many fakes that have been concocted
lately to fiji space in the newspapers Of dis
tant cities, IT, however, there is foundation
for a movement by the heirs of the alleged
bachclor we advise them to advance quickly,

ma Boom IN THE SOUTH.
Secretary Smith Speaks Enthusiastically of
IndnstrinI Prngress I'm That section.

Secretary Smith Speaks Enthusiastically of
Industrial Progress in That Section.
BALTIMORE, Aug. S.-Hon. Hoke Smith,
secretary of the interior, in a special in
terview with the Manufacturers Record
in regard to the business outlook of the
south based on investigation during his
recent trip, says: Il have never seen the
south look so prosperous, especially
Georgia Hard times are rapidly becom-
ing extinct and l believe that the south
ern states are moving on TO the most pros
porous epoch in their history. The raising
of all needed food supplies leaves cotton u
surplus crop and proves the diversified
agricultural possibilities of that section"
Secretary Smith is enthusiastic over the
signs of prosperity among the fruit grow
ers of Georgia More peaches" he said,
"have been raised and marketed than ever
before in the history of the state. They
are large and juicy. The magnitude Of
this industry can be appreciated from the
fact that during the season one railroad
has been hauling from sixty to ninety car
loads of peaches in refrigerator cars daily
from Georgia to eastern points"
Secretary Smith says that he noted many
evidences OF industrial progress, and be.
lieves that the industrial boom in the
south, which was temporarily set back by
the late panic, is on again. Cotton manu-
featuring was never more successful in
the south than it is today, and all through
the cotton belt new mills are being erected
and old mills are being enlarged. In the
iron district of Alabama a number of fur
naces have recently gone into blast, and
the workmen in that section are now fully
employed, and many of them at increased

DEFENDER VERSUS JUBILEE.

General Pains's Yacht VIII Race the New
Fin Keel sloop.
NEWPORT r.. l., Aug. s-rhe Vigilant
sailed for Bristol last night and all confer
ences on the strained relations between
she and Defender has resulted in nothing
definite The meeting of the regatta
committee, held last night, was likewise
fruitless. Yachtsmen are discouraged at
the situation as some decision from the
regatta committee was anxiously looked
for. The comittee had several consulta.
tions on board the flagship Sylvia, but
their proceedings were kept secret.
During the afternoon Secretary Cags
Garfield and J. Fred Tams, of the Amer.
ica's cup committee, went on board the
Vigilant and had long talk with Mr..
Willard They returned TO the Sylvia
and reported the result of their interview
to the regatta committee, but the nature
of it could not be ascertained Messrs.
Garfield and Tams had no sooner left the
Viglaut than the sloop weighed anchor
and sailed away for Bristol.
The Jubilee will compete with the De-
fender this afternoon even if the Vigilant
does not go into the race, which is now
considered extremely improbable There
is not much interest shown in the race, al
though the Jubilee will be in better trim
to meet the Defender than she has been
before this season.
Late last night the disappointed yachts
men were suddenly surprised by a report
that the regatta committee had refused TO
sustain the Vigilant's protest in tho recent
races An investigation proved this to be
a fact

THE IOWA DEMOCRACY.
the state Convention Defeats Free Silver
by Vote 051 to 42O.


MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Aug. S-One of
the most notable state conventions in the
history of the Iowa Democracy closed in
this city last evening. There has been
bitter strife between the two opposing
elements in the party-one contending for
n ticket and platform on sound money
basis, the other clamoring for free coin
age without waiting for an international
agreement. The resolutions committee
got into wrangle on the financial plank
that kept them in the committee room till
nearly 4 o'clock, the currency resolutions
being overhauled and reconstructed two
or three,times before an agreement was
reached, and the majority making persis-
tent efforts to avert the introduction of
the minority report
During this interval the convention did
nothing but listen to free silver speeches
by radical white metal champions. The
Sound money men preserved silence,
except that Cato Sells made short talk
of conoiliatory character. When the
minority report favoring free coinage was
introduced another prolonged silver dis
cussion was precipitated and for while
the proceedings were tumultuous. The
final roll call on the resolutions showed
the white metal crowd defeated by a vote
of 65115 to 42OH A mighty shout,
mingled with groans, Kisses and anathe-
mas, folloa%ed the announcement of the
result A large number of free silver del
egates Immediately left the hail. not wait
ing for the nominations.
The state ticket was then nominated,
as follows: For governor, Judge w. 1.
Babb of Mount Pleasant; lieutenant gov
nor, Ex-Governor S. L. Bestow of Chart
ton; superintendent of public instruction,
Lyman B. Parshall of Maquokota; rail
road commissioner Colonel George James
of Dubuque; supreme jndge, Senator
Thomas G. Harper of Des Moines.

CHICAGO Aug. s.--AtUer rest of sew
eral weeks thc Chicago Fair Grounds as
sociation operating the Harlem race
track, has arranged to resume its thor
oughbred racing, which was prevented by
the Civic Federation. Hopes Of Legislative
action in the direction of turf law which
would permit pool .2liag on the tracks
having failed, an effort will be made to
conduct meeting without public betting.
Because OF q great public demand for
racing it is believed that the attendance
will more than pay the purses That the
horsenen believe this may bclcarned from
the fact that over 300 good horses are now
stabbed at the track. Public opinion favors
racing, and the management hopes to be
able to secure such patronage as will war
rant the running of the $4,000 national
derby and other stake events.

SOME silly people have started am equally
silly report to the effect that the people who
have the contract for making the water con-
nections have been bought up by the old
water company and that that is the secret Of
the delay attending the work. From as
surauces given by the contractors and mem
bers Of the Borough Council who are deyot-
ing their personal attention to the matter
there IS not the slightest foundation for any
such report The delay appears to be simply
due to neglect of manufacturers to furnish
supplies the contractors have ordered, and
the work cannot proceed until the supplies
arrive. If any one can show that deal has
been made there should DE no delay in placing
the matter before Council If the report
takes birth from Imagination IL is unjust to
both the contractors and the water company.
