No Wore Vegetarian Re.laurant.


The vegetarian restaurant that was
opened last winter has been closed up
on account Of lack = sufficient pat
ronage to pay expenses. 1t made very
few converts to yegetarlanism, though
for a time there were many promising
recruits The novelty of the thing
usually wore off in few days, and the
new disciple returned to his fieshly diet
with an appetite whetted by his short
abstinence. The regular customers Of
the place were noticeable for their sal
low compilations, and most of them had
the appearance Of being poorly nour-
'shed. They could hardly be expected
to make converts to their mode of liv-
ing by posing as living examples of this
effect of diet which excluded an
forms OF animal food. New York Sun

A TRUE STORY.

From the Hartford Dispatch.
In the Spring of 1850. an uncle
OF mine, then young man of
about 20 years, married a young
lady living near the Big Falls
bridge, Baltimore county. He was
blacksmith by trade, and after his
marriage he rented the Big Falls
blacksmith and wheelwright shops.
where he and his brother carried
on the work with great success.
'-Aear this place and along the Big
Falls there were miles AMI miles of
immense woods. In those DAYS
coon hunting was considered great
sport, and old as we'll a. young
men turned ont in large numbers
to indulge in their favorite pastlme.
On one particular night my two
uncles in company with half-doz-
en- other men, among them an old
colored servant, started out with a
good supply of dogs to hunt the
Big Falls woods. Almost as socn
as the woods were reached the dogs
struck the trail las they supposedly
of coon. After an almost end
less hunt, part of the time through
an underground of bushes and
briers, over hills and in hollows.
the coon was freed in the middle
of the woods. The tree was a small
gum, and it took but few vigor-
GUS shakes to dislodge the coon,
but when it fell to the ground what
was their CONSERVATION to behold
"a small black pig. The old ne
gro began to SILVER and shake with
fear, "0h, Lord, Massa." he groan-
ed, dats de sperrit of de ole lady
dat uster own desc woods; we've
chased it many time afore, but de

dogs could nebber tree it; TO de
Lawd sake, don't fetch it Massa,
yo'd nebber have anoder days luck
agin. Oh, oh, oh .'
Nothing daunted BY the old fell
lows fears, uncle and one of the
other men picked up the pig and
threw it in good, strong bag they
had brought for the coon, and tied
the bag securely with q string, the
negro protesting all the while they
would never have another days
luck as they would certainly be be-
witched. "Well," one Of the men
exclaimed, "I'll risk the bewitch-
ing part" Thereupon he seized
the bag with the intention of throw
ing it'across his shoulder, but al
though he pulled and jerked it, he
could not move it an inch. Every
man in the party tried their strength
in lifting, but it was of no avail,
the bag csald not be moved. By
that time the old negro was so bad
ly frightened he could do nothing
but groan and beg them to go home
and leayethe 'sperrits' alones
The cwiosity of the men was so
excited by this extraordinary occur
renee that they decided to stay
right beside the bag sntil daylight,
and then try to find out what it
really contained. So, piling large
stones on one end of the bag to
keep it secure, they proceeded to
build fire, and there beside it,.
smoking and chatting, they waited
until day light. When it was light
enough for them to see distinctly
the bag was opened and 10 it was
empty and the crestfallen men stood
blankly staring each other in the
face. In the early morning light q
little band of men went slowly back
TO their homes, trifle sadder, per-
haps, but certainly not a particle
wiser than they were were when
they started out the night before,
and to this day what that bag con-
tanned is mystery. FOREST.

Saint Maru's Beacon
A Republican view Of the Situation.

Today's Philadelphia Ledger: For
the present critical condition of af-
fairs the Republicans have them
selves largely to blame. In order
to secure the loayes and fishes of
patronage in the Senate they we're
parties to a disreputable deal with
the Populists, whereby the Commit
tee of Finance was expressly framed
go as to put the advocates OF free
coinage in control. While Presi-
dent Cleveland and his Cabinet
have been battling for honest mon
ey and forcing the issue in Demo
cratic conventions throughout the
country, the Republicans have been
doing what they could to evade the
subject. 1t is fact that of all of
the prominent Republicans men
toned conspicuously for the Presi-
dency. there is but one, Governor
Morton, of whom it can be positive
~ said that il elected he may be de-
pended upon confidently to stand
By honest money. Everyone Of his
rivals has either attempted to strad-
die the issue or has persistently
kept silent. The consequence is
that the Republican silverites have
become emboldened and are forcing
the fighting. They perceive that the
sound-money leaders in the Repub-
lican party are manifesting coward
ice and the silverites are, therefore,
determined to press home their ad-
vantage. In 1890, when most of
the Democrats and a great many
Republicans were clamoring for free
coinage, Senator Sherman threw a
sop to Ceberus in the shape Of the
silver-purchase act, the evil effects
of which were largely. responsible
for the great panic of 1898. The
Sherman act was intended to quiet
the silverites, bnt it did no such
thing. 1t almost resulted in fore
ing this country to a silver basis,
while, at the same time, the price
OF silver in the open market fell to
a figure unprecedented. This was
one result of doing something for
silver. What the silverites demand
now is free coinage, and they are
disposed to go to extremes in order
to get it.
Sincere Republicans, who have at
heart the credit of the country and
the preservation OF the party, can
not consent to any surrender to or
compromise with the advocates of a
dishonest currency system. The
Republican leaders and the Repub-
lican press must face the issue and
speak right out in meeting. They
must abandon their shutting and
evasion, and they must get ready to
fight the battle for honest money in
the coming National Convention.
The Ledger has repeatedly warned
them of the folly of attempting to
ignore the issue. II has urged up
on the Republicans the duty of an
honest money crusade in the Re-
publican States given over to the
free silver heresy, but they have
supinely permitted that opportuni-
ty to go by, so that on the threshold
OF the Presidential campaign they
are confronted with a critical situa.
ton which their own lack of courage
has brought about.
