Il never shall forget an incident

fair. At any rate il was a big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock ON exhibition. and n Pennsyl-

finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites. and IL l

orally to the razor backs, but not one Of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got n
prize. The owner Of the exhibit did not
understand il. so he hunted up one Of
the judges and said in the language Of
the Friends:
''I know thee 20 be an honest man,
and donot question thy fairness in the
award. but TO crafty my own crriosity

why thee gave all the prizes TO the ma

Ny friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly. the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome. and
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are so
short legged and fat that u nigger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in O hog in tho south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. -

that an alliance with the soldiers daught-

officer. The Rev. Father O'Keefe, the
Catholic priest at West Point, was asked
TO use his priestly influence to prevent the
marriage. Father O'Keefe who knew Miss
Kinkle thought her unwise TO marry out

Immediately after getting his diploma,

directed Second Lieutenant Clarence l..
Lang, Second Artillery, to report to Col.
Charles o. Byrne, president OF the army
retiring board, convening at Governors
Island, for examination as to suppo ed
physical disabilities which render him
unfit for active service. IL is understood
in army circles that Lang's marriage TO
the daughter OF an enlisted man, and his
subsequent notoriety, have subjec ed both
him and his wife 10 persistent social
boycott, which has SO worried them that
they are anxious TO retire TO some place
where they Will not be subjected TO these
annoyances.
This will be Lang's second appearance
before an army retiring beard. Only n
few months after his graduation from
West Point, in June, 1894, he made an APP
plication for retirement The beard be-
fore which he appeared ordered him back
TO his command, and said that he was
perfectly able TO do duty. Last fall he
applied for a six months leave OF absence,

Chandler Favors Maintaining tho In.

HARTMAN ATTACKS CLEVELAND.
Processes to See Politics In
Address on Missions.

WASHINGTON, March 0. - For a long
time yesterday afternoon 1t looked as
though the Caban question would be
finally disposed OF In the senate by agree
ing TO the conference report accepting the
house resolutions.
AT the conclusion OF Mr. Mitchelps elab-
crate argument on the Dupont case, Mr..
Sherman presented the report OF the con-
ferrees and asked for immediate action.
Representatives Hit and Adams, two OF
the house conferrces, were present at tho
time, as it was expected that the report
would be adopted. But, rs it was then
o'clock, not more than dozen senator's
were In the chamber, and Mr.. Hale tMe.)
suggested that it was undesirable TO crowd
through resolution of this magnitude at
"a late hour and with an empty senate.
This brought on considerable sharp de-
bate. Mr., Chandler, who had not before
been heard on Cuba, declared himself in
favor not only OF recognizing but of
maintaining the Independence Of Cuba.
even II 10 resulted in war with Spain. Mr..
Hawley expressed sympathy with the
public feeling against Spain, yet he feared
the earnostness and eagcrness of the
United States would involve us In war,
not only with Spain, but other European
countries. Mr.. Sherman concluded to let
the subject go over until Monday.
A Lively Session.
The house wrangled for four hours over
the solaries of United States marshals and
the other features Of the amendment TO
the legislative appropriation bill to abolish
the fec system in the cases OF United
States attorneys aud marshals.
The salary Of the marshal in Maine was
fixed at $1,000. Under the fee system both
district attorneys and marshals were al
lowed fees, not TO exceed 5000 and mile
age, which in some cases swelled COM
pensation TO as high as $4,000 and $4,000
Instead Of mileage at tho rate OF 10 cents
mile each way, the amendment allows
attorneys and marshals their actual travel
ing expenses. IL fixes the fees Of United
States commissioners considerably below
the present schedule.
Interest in tho debate was completely
overshadowed by sensational attack
made upon President Cleveland by Mr..
Hartman (Rep Mon.), who felt himself
personally aggrieved by Mr.. ClGveland's
utterances at the Presbyterian Home mis-
sion meeting i'm New York on Tuesday
and who seized the opportunity allowed
by the latitude OF debate on appropriation
bills TO repel the idea that the western
states We're tho home OF evil influences
He charged the president with insulting
the citizens of those states, and termed
Mr.. Cleveland's remarks ''an unfounded
slander" and a gross impropriety," and
insinuated that his purpose was to create
asentiinent against the admission of the
territories because they differed with him
on the money question.
