A story of Professor Horkomor.

A pretty story of Prof. Herkomer 10
told in one of the London papers. His
aged father, who lives with him in his
splendid home at Bushey, used to model
in clay in his early life. He has recent
ly taken to It again, but his fear is that
soon his hands will lose their skill, and
his work will show the marks Of inn
perfection. 1t is his one sorrow. At
night be goes to his early rest, and
when he has gone HerkOmer, the tai
ented son, goes into the studio, takes
up his fathers feeble attempts, and
makes the work as beautiful as art can
make 1t. When the old man comes
down in the morning. he takes the
work and looks at it, and rubs mis-
hands and says: "Ha! can do as well
as ever did"

ouesr AooIasn. to . Fr,Irh. Car.

A very peculiar mlshap to a freight
train has just come to the attention Of
the motive power department Of the
Panhandle in this city, and In its de-
tails It assumes the nature Of miracle
as strange as those Of old. The train
was running at a rapid rate between
Xenia and Trebeins, distance Of four
miles, when the trucks Of one Of the
cars gave way and jumped onto the
tracks Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton road, which runs parallel with
the Pennsylvania at that point. The
trucks lighted squarely on the rails,
and continued running until they
smashed into pilot Of the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton engine running In
the opposite direction. The Panhandle
train evidently did not suffer any in
convenience owing to the loss Of
trucks. as 1t was not discovered until
Trebeins was reached, and then 1t was
found that the body Of the freight car
was held in position by the couplings
and had run two miles without any
wheels. The accident is perhaps with
out a parallel in annals OF railways

Overproduction?

A great and extensive country, in
dustrious people, good crops, surplus
of everything, at peace with the world.
and in the midst of all these great
blessings business men are forced to
the wall, farmers after working from
daylight to dark to mature crop, after
selling the same at beggarly prices are
forced to mortgage their land to the
banks or money lenders for enough
money to carry them through the win
ter: thousands of men out Of employ
ment, people starving for bread Is the
picture of life in this great free ID
America to-day. And still the wise
statesmen tell us that 1t is overpro-
duction; lack of confidence that is
causing all the misery. What fertile
brain it must have taken to have
made such a discovery! Think OF 1t,
people are starving because crops are
too good (what blessed thing 1t would
be to have famine), and people going
poorly clad because there has been an
overproduction OF clothing-bosh!-'

A quite novel surgical operation has
successfully been performed at Parma,
italy. by Professor Camille Verdelli,in
the presence of all the physicians OF
the Parmese Hospital, and with very.
satisfactory results. The new opera
ton was the washing Of the heart. 1t
was the first operation of the kind, and
Prof. Verdelli employed the washing
apparatus recently invented by Prof.
Riva. After making an operative in
cision. Prof. Verdelli first cleaned the
pericardium of the patient, q twelve
year-old boy, of the pus which had &C
cumulated thereon, and then proceed
ed to wash the heart with a strong so.
luton of soda biborate (borax). The
operation was very successful. mas
much as no further complication has
arisen; the boy is now doing very well,
and is on his way to complete recoV-
cry. Prof. Verdelli has received numer-
GUS congratulations for his success
with the new operation from surgeons
all over Europe-Philadelphia Record.

and to fail to do 1t would be fatal to
the peoples party organization. There
is a general call for such a convention
and the probability is that II those who
have the authority do not call 1t there
will be a spontaneous call from the
boys in the trenches" that will bring
1t about anyway.

Appls nutter Like arnnamothsr.,.

The first thing to do is to secure
some good sweet cider apple cider and
boil 1t half away. This should be done
the day before you expect to begin with
the apples. use porcelain-lined ket-
tie that holds five gallons. Boil 1t half
away and let 1t remain in the kettle
over night on the back of the stove.
The advantage of this is 1t is warm, and
will begin cooking earlier. AS soon as
possible the next morning begin and
prepare the apples as for sauce and put
into the cider all 1t will hold. Fill
the pot full to the top and as 1t cooks
soft keep putting in more apples to
keep the kettle full until 1t is quite
thick, and let cook slowly and stir very
often, as 1t will burn very readily If 1t
Is over too hot fire. 1t needs to be
cooked long time-I never finish
mine in one day, simply move 1t back
on the stove where 1t will not cook,
but keep warm over night. When 1t is
done 1t will be cooked away consider
ably and thick and dark like a jam
or marmalade DO not sweeten until
nearly done, as 1t burns more quickly,
and by cooking away as 1t does 1t might
be too sweet. Use white sugar and
swesteR to taste. use no spices, as
consider 1t spoils the flavor of the cider
and apples. II they are used they
should be of the very best and careful
ly added. This recipe keeps perfectly
without being put up alright. put 1t
in stone Jars and tie cloth over It
merely TO keep out dust.-Practical

One of the sllliest things OF which
the plutocrats were guilty in the re-
cent campaign was their attack on
that part of the Chicago platform that
criticised the action OF the Supreme
Court in regard to its decision on the
income tax. There was nothing new
or strange in that. Some Of the best
republicans that ever lived criticised
severely the decision of the U. S. Su-
preme Court in the bred Scott case and
were of course denounced for it by the
slave power.

After the 4th of next March the re-
publican party will have full control of
every department of government Just
as the democratic party did after the
4th Of March, 1893. We have some
Idea of what the democratic party did
for the country, Notwithstanding all
their ante-electlon promises. We will
now have an opportunity to know how
the republican party will redeem its
pledges.

The people are almost unanimous In
their desire for good times. The re-

Every act Of theirs will be watched

Telegraph dispatches from London
say that English capitalists are now
ready to invest millions of dollars in
American mortgages, since McKinley's
election. We now warn these gentle
men to not do anything of the kind,

they want to take the risks all right.

both sides claimed everything. East

Just why the men who stood to the

to wipe out some of the thieving

Notwithstanding the fact that the re-
publicans have severely criticised Mr..
Bryan for intimating that the question
would be decided on sectional lines, the
result proves the correction Of his
judgment. With the exception Of Call

There is evidently a strong feeling
toward a reorganization Of the party
along the old lines. 1t is likely that a
call will soon be made to that effect.
There is a pretty general demand for
such a call. 1t is no doubt best that
something like this should be done.
There is not only much confusion but
considerable distrust Of leaders among
our ranks. A mass conocution at which
the prominent men in the party were
present, and declaration as to the fu-
ture policy of the party would do much
to strengthen our lines and put us In
active working condition. 1t seems to
US that 1t is actually necessary that
something Of this kind should be done.
