1t is now admitted by some of the
most prominent sound money demo-
orsts in the State that it is likely the
bulk OF their vote will be cast for Nc
Kinley. 1t is believed that the confer
ence in Richmond during the past two
days of National Committeeman Scott,
of West Virginia, General Logan, chair
man of the national State democratic
committee, aud other leaders of the
two factions, have resulted in an I'm.
derstsnding by which, as far as it NAV
be done, the Palmer and Buckner vote
will be given to the republican electors.
This has been predicted for some time.

The New YORK Sun, one OF the most
vehement and violent Mckinley news
papers in the country, though fighting
in the ranks with Mr.. Cleveland,

help saying, compared to the Presi-

puny infant in slandering the cause OF
honest money and in spreading the
doctrine OF reputation" There is no

Morgan's private purchase of govern
ment bonds has done Mr.. Cleveland's
reputation no good with a large num-
Der of his fellow citizens.

Mr.. BoURKE COCHRAN made speech
in New York month ago in which he
denounced the people of the South as
defeated ex.slave holders, who having
lost their property, hoped that the
more prosperous people of the North
would lose theirs. What he said was
printed at the time in all the New
York newspapers and was subsequently,
republished all over the country, but
was never denied by its author until
last night, when he appeared before
Southern audience in Norfolk. But

monetization and of what it had cost
the people of the United States. He
said we needed all the silver tina. could
be mined to meet the demands of the
increasing population and trade, aud
asked why we should shut up our
mines for the purpose of enriching other
countries. Senator Morgan then traced
the duality of everything from the time
of Adam and Eve and likened this to
the double standard. Gold and silver,
he said, were the two metals which
were made for money and they should
90 hand in hand together as such; they
had been so provided by divine wis
dom and it was crime to strike down
one of the metals. The decentralization
of silver, he said. was the result Of the
cupidity of the English bondholders,
who, after having secured the
passage of bill making the bonds pay
able in coin now wanted that coin to be
gold. Congress, he said, had demone-
tized silver when it was worth 1O4 and
there would be just as much sense in
demonetizing gold. He predicted
the election of Bryan and the going
back to the old democratic principle
that public debt is public evil and
should be paid as fast as the people
could pay it without overburdening
themselves. No other government un-
der the sun, he said, would submit to
such financial policy as that demand
ed by the rulers of this country, which
was to burden the people with an i'm
mense interest paying debt and take
from them one half the means of paying
it. He said the banks could not prevent
the election of Bryan and could do no
more harm by their panics than they
had already done. These panics, he
said, all resulted from the demonetiza-
ton of silver and the way to get rid
of an evil was to reverse the action
which brought it about.

The Cathode Ray.

1t may be briefly explained, without
going into the details of very techni-
cal subject, that ordinary light is re-
garded as due to vibrations which are
at right angles to the direction in which
the ray travels, but that, in the mathe-
matical theories of light, other vibra-
tions, i'll the direction of the ray, are
indicated, though wholly unknown in
experience hitherto. If the new rays
prove, in fact, to be Of this character,
so as to realize indeed the long sought
longitudinal vibration, the discovery is
of the first Importance in science and
will hardly find its equal in interest
since the discovery of the law of gravi-
tation, for it reveals new mode of ac-
ton Of force, governing a wide range Of
phenomena and effects which until
now have lain entirely outside the
bounds of our cognizance. ce.-Professor A.

Insects In the Wardrobe.

A correspondent, whose home new

that Rhodesia is fine country for

hole the size Of hand on each side of

habitants do not fancy ones clothes the
white ants do. Failing them, you have
fat beetles, and, supposing they desert
you, the rat comes in, so no one can say
fine raiment is wasted out there. 1.-The

1t is a gray day, with soft, soaking
drizzle Of rain, good for the long parch-
ed crops, but somewhat depressing to
the spirits and curiously in harmony
with the general prospect of affairs.
Yesterdays dazzling sunshine and trop-
ical heat, though tempered by pleas
ant breeze in the afternoon, eliminated
about sunset in one Of the magnificent
storms which take place every now and
then throughout the rainy season. In a
few minutes, as it seemed, from the
time when we had first noticed that
clouds were gathering the sky was
black and shrieking wind was whirl-
ing clouds of yellow dust from Govern
ment House down the whole length Of
Longmarket street, blotting out trees
and houses on either side. Then, after
a pause, down came the rain mingled
with hailstoncs, some of them as large
as marbles, which ratified ON the zinc

come, leaving the sluices in every street

Cork Pavement.

The various discouragements which
some of the European cities have met
with i'll securing satisfactory street pave
ments have led to somewhat extensive
and, it would appear, encouraging ex-
periments with what is called cork
pavement, from the fact that cork is
the most prominent and essential in
gredient in the amalgam of which it Is
composed The pavement used i'll Vienna
consists of granulated cork mixed with
mineral asphalt and other cohesive sub
stances, compressed into blocks Of suit
able size and form. Among the numer-
ous advantages set forth in its behalf
are cleanliness, noiselessness, durability,
elasticity, freedom from slipperiness,
whether wet or dry, and moderate cost.
Unlike wood, too, it is nonabsorbent
and consequently inodorous 1t presents
the minimum resistance to traction, and
being elastic under passing loads does
away with the vibration caused by
heavy teaming. The blocks are imbed-
ded in tar and rest upon a concrete
base six inches thick. When taken up
for examination, they have exhibited,
when compared with new ones, re-
duced thickness by wear of less than
one-eighth inch, this in the case of a
section Of a London street leading to the
Great Eastern railway station, subjected
to continuous heavy traffic, the blocks
having been in use nearly two years

UNENDING.

There is an end to kisses and to sighs:
There is an end to laughter and to tears
An end to fair things that delight our eyes,
An end To pleasant sounds that charm our
ears,
An end to enmity's foul libeling
And to the gracious praise of tender friend
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there Is no end.
That warrior carved an empire with his sword.
The empire now is but like him-a name.
That statesman spoke and by burning word
Kindled nation heart into flame.
Now naught is left but ashes, and we bring
Our homage to new men; to them we bend.
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
All beauty fades away, or else, alas.
Men S eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see
Tho glorious shows of nature pass and pass.
Quickly they come; quickly do they flee,
And he who hears the voice of welcoming
Hears next the slow, sad farewell of his
friend.
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.

big industrial concern that bears his
name-the Deering Harvester Com
pany. That Immense enterprise has been
guided successfully by his deft hand,
and his splendid executive ability Is
shown in the harmony that prevails in
all Its departments. In the harvester
works there are from 5000 to 5000 men
employed, yet there has never even
been the semblance of labor trouble
among the men. Mr.. Deering's gifts
to Northwestern University are among
the many marks of his dep devotion
to the Methodist Church. Ever since
his boyhood he has loved Methodism
and has taken prominent part in its
affairs. In 1872 he was elected to the
General Conference in Brooklyn, and in
1892 he represented the Rock River
Conference In Omaha. The develop
ment of the Garrett Biblical Institute
at the university is due largely to his

NEW JERSEYS OLDEST HOUSE.
Built at Lyons Farms by the Original
Meeker Who Left Connecticut.

Built at Lyons Farms by the Original
Meeker Who Left Connecticut.
The old Meeker house, at Lyons
Farms, is claimed by that family to be
the oldest house i'll New Jersey-not
one of the Oldest, but the Oldest 1t is
now occupied by William Gummon,
who is lineal descendant of the origi-
nal Meeker, who held his patent from
the crown.
There is an amusing incident con-
nected with this patriarch which gave
rise to the building of the house in
question. He was originally of the Con
necticut colony, and, being the owner
of a small sloop, his fishing excursions
sometimes extended far into the Sab
bath day. This did not meet with the
ideas of those days, so he was fined sew
eral times, and more severe punishment
was threatened if he did not attend di-
vine worship regularly and cease his la-
bors on the Lords day.
But one dark night Meeker placed all
his goods on board his boat and sailed
away. He settled in New Jersey and
there erected the house which still
stands. The precise year in which it
was built is not known, but one of Mr.
Gummon's ancestors was born there in
1877.
The roof of this curious old farmhouse
has been renewed many times, but the
side walls Of cedar shingles remain as
they We're put on by the old man, with
hand wrought nails, more than two cen
turies ago and are yet in very fair con-
dition. Inside some rooms are wainscot-

in position, while other surroundings
are in strict keeping with the antiquat-
ed appearance of the place.

mustache is in the style of the early

Many tales are told of the delightful
simplicity Of President Kruger of the
Transvaal republic. After an interview
with him, an English missionary asked
DIR. Leyds, the secretary of state, if the
president really knew no English. "If
you are praising him or speaking well
of the Transvaal, he knows no English, !"
said the doctor, "but if you are speak
ing i'll Of him or saying anything
against the Transvaal, he knows every
word you say" He once consented to
open Hebrew synagogue in Johannes
burg and closed an address with these
words: "And so consecrate this build
ing to the worship of the triune God. !"
