Ply privilege to sit under the elO-

it affords me much pleasure to state
that his address to the people was
timely and food FOR the serious think

Mr.. Wright is not of my party;

the honest people of this state will
lay down party prejudice and let
their good judgment govern them in
the coming election Hon. Seaborn
Wright will be our next governor.
l must say that l have continually
commended that the mistake that
some good men made was that OF
boiling the Democratic party, but
let me say that it, cannot be mis-
take docking to the coming welfare
OF our country that Mr.. Wright has
made when he left the party ranks
and accepted the nomination for the
gubernstorial chair of the Populist
party of Georgia. l have always
voted the Democratic ticket and
have said repeatedly that when l
could not vote the Democratic ticket
then would not vote at all, for the

The Hon. Seaborn Wright is the

only stop and think seriously where
we are drifting, and let that God

My fellow democrats, let me ask
you how can we expect the so much
needed reform in our government as
long as we vote for party irrsspec-

all my heart to give up the name of
Democracy; but if l am compelled
to accept men az my standard bear

would have rule over me, then / say

GOLD FOUND IN CRACKS IN
FLOORS.
Valuable Dirt Taken From an Old Watch
case Factory.

The Brooklyn Watchcase Com
pany's factory, says the New York
Times, has been at Fourth avenue
and Warren street, Brooklyn, for
every twenty years. The company
recently consolidated with the Fay
Watchcase Company, and now the
consolidated company has its factory
at Sag Harbor, L. l.
The two city factories have been
stripped, and trusted employees have
been at work scraping the floors and
digging the dirt out of the cracks.
The scrapings and dirt have been
placed in smelters, and gold worth
nearly $1,000 has been recovered.
The work has not been completed,
and the consolidated companies hope
to recover gold worth at least $4,000
more before they get through with
the scrapings.

Price of Peaches Very Low.

Peaches are now being shippe d
regularly from Milford, Del, the first
car load having been shipped on
Thursday July 80. The height of
the season will be from August to
IS. The st. Johns are nearly all
marketed, the yield of this variety
having been rather light. The current
prices were 20 to 40 cents per basket.
In this market, Troths sold from
IS to 20 cents per basket !:
Mountain Rose, IS to IS cents. One
special lot of the latter brought so
cents. The market for Delaware
peaches never opened so low as this
year. A few Philadelphia buyers are
here now, but more, including New
York purchasers, are expected this

TROUBLE AT The TWIN sRAFT.
Rescue Workers Stop Because OF a
Reduction in Wages.

The Newton Coal Company,
operators of the ill-fated Twin Shaft
at Pittston, is having some trouble
with the men employed in the rescue
work. Last Thursday morning the
shifts were cut down from seven to
four men each, and the wages reduc.
ed from $2.25 per day to $I.oa
Some of the men were greatly dissatis.
fed with this arrangement and refused
to go to work again.
General Manager Law says there
will be no difficulty in getting men to
work at the reduced prices. Since
the accident the company has been
under heavy expenses and has found
it necessary to reduce the wages.
The company has no desire to discon-
tinue the work of rescue, although it
has not the slightest hope of recover
ing single body. Some of the rela-
tives of the entombed men are highly
indignant over the action of the
company.

DREAMS ABOUT HORSES.
A Valuable Animal Saved From Fire BY
His Owners Vivid Dream.

Dreams, like girls, care queer"
and dreams wherein horses figure
largely take rank among the queerest.
l shall give few dreams, not oi
fair women" but of horses, told
one day between treats. In the year
eighteen hundred and ninety some
thing gentleman entered promis-
ing PAGER for race to come of
some time during the summer. He
was speeding the horse on the last
of the snow, and wrote to his wife,
who was visiting in a distant town,
that his prospects for a race horse
were rosy That night the lady,
although not especially an admirer Of
horses, dreamed that she was sitting
in the stand watching the finish of
the race wherein her husbands horse
was to take part. Replying to the
letter, she said that his horse would
win the race, the last heat several
lengths ahead of a gray horse, the
only other one she saw in her dream
and that the Judge announced the
time a.2ot. The letter caused a
good deal of amusement in the family
during the months previous to the
race, and finally when the day came
five horses started, among them being
dark gray. The dream came true
in every respect, the race being won
in three heats, and at the finish the
gray was the only one in it, the rest
just coming into the stretch time,
a.ao4. This dream / can vouch for,
as l saw the letter weeks before the
race took place, says Tony Reek in
Trotter and PAGER.
Another gentleman who was sleep.
ing at an inn beside the track where
his horses were stabbed dreame d that
he saw the window of the stall con-
tanning valuable young horse being
stealthily opened from the outside.
Then fire flashed and fell among the
straw, revealing the horses in a state
of terror, paving and snorting loudly.
The dream was so vivid that he
awoke and fancied that he could in
reality hear the horse striking the
walls Of his stall. He partially dress
ed and ran out, and not a moment
too soon. Some miscreant hands had
thrown a cloth, burning and soaked
with oil, in through the window.
This had ignited the straw, and in
few seconds more the horse must
have perished, though, fortunately as
it was, he was but slightly injured.

TO GARNISH U0LD DISHES.
BOW Meats May be Made Tempting on
Hot Summer Days.

Plain everyday dishes at the home
table may be made more appetizing
says the New York Sun, if the young
housekeeper will instruct her maid Of
all work to pay little more attention
to them, or if she will devote a few
moments before each meal to seeing
that the dish is prettily garnished.
Cold roast lamb is good but who
wants to have it placed before him
in whole leg or shoulder, without a
sprig of green, on a hot day1 A
simple and effective way to serve
cold lamb is: Select a large loin and
have your butcher cut each chop up
to the joint crack the joints, but
do not separate them, and remove
the meat an inch from the end of each
chop bone. Now draw the two ends
of the loin together and tie, spreading
the small ends SO they form circle,
and roast as you would any piece of
meat, only remembering that the
chops being separated, the meat will
cook more quickly.
This lamb may be served hot or
cold, but, if it is cold, ornament the
end of each chop bone with a fringed
and curled paper cap, stick bouquet
of mint or parsley in the top, and
upon the platter between each pair of
chops put spoonful of cold boiled
string beans or peas, and on the green
bed small red ball cut from boiled
beets. Serve French dressing In a
separate dish for the vegetables.
This is but one of the many ways.
If the housekeeper shows interest in
having the home dishes prettily
garnished the maid soon will be, and
will find she, too, has brain and
can surprise you with some ingenious
device.

CYCLE VS.. LOCOMOTIVE.
Unique Race Between a SextupIet and the
Empire Express.

A Syracuse NJ Y. special in the
New York WoyM runs: The most
unique contest that ever took place
in this country occurred here July 2S.
1t was a race between a sextuplet BIZ
cycle team and the Empire State Ex-
press, drawn by the famous engine
900. 1t was contest between
muscle and machinery, and muscle
won the day. No. ooo finished four
lengths in the rear.
The course was only half mile in
length, but long enough for the ter
rifle pace that the bicycle riders had
to maintain. 1t lay between tracks 2
and 3 of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad, which parallels
the New York road near the State
fair grounds. The space was about
four feet in width and the track was
leveled off and specially prepared for
the contest by the railroad officials.
William II. Bex steered the sextu.
plet The track ended at culvert
and a number of men had been sta
toned on either side of the track to
catch the sextuplet and help bring it
to a standstill near the finish mark.
a great crowd witnessed the race.
In o seconds the sextuplet began to
gain. The crowd yelled and cheered,
The men redoubled their energies
and soon a full length intevened be-
tween the cow-catCher of ooo and the
rear wheel of the sextuplet. The
passengers on the train waved their
hats and handkerchlefs and encour-
aged the cyclists. The lead was
quickly increased, and in a few sec
onds more they had crossed the mark
four lengths ahead.

PUNOTURED BY A SNAKE,
Strange Accident TO Hulse's Bicycle
and His Remarkable Remedy.

The famous wheelmans path from
Port Jervis to Dingmans Ferry along
the Delaware river on the way to the
Water Gap seems to abound with
dangerous reptiles that seem to have
a special antipathy toward cyclers.
Newspapers have obtained many
marvellous stories regarding expert
ences along this route, but the latest
and one of the most remarkable is
related by Clarence and Mortimer
Hulse, brothers, of Middletown,
N. Y, Of local fame as racers.
On Sunday, as their story goes,
they encountered a rattler on this
strip four feet in length 1t lay
across the road in their path. The
snake kept his head elevated, and
when the wheelmen approached show
ed fight by changing its position more
in their path. While the two were
debating what to do the snake started
toward them. They both mounted
and rode for it. 1t struck at the leg
of the older brother, but missed and
buried its fangs deep into and pune
tured the tire.
The remarkable part OF the story is
that Hulse did not use the snake for
a new tire. But he didn't. He threw
it away, and patched the tire with
commonplace tape and cement.

THROUGH WONDERLAND.
Personally. Conducted Tours 10 Yellow
stone Park via PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.

The Yellowstone Park is one OF the
most wonderfully attractive regions of
the world. Its beauties of scenery,
the wild grandeur of its mountains
and canons, compel the admiration of
every visitor, while its phenomenal
geysers and curious mineralogical
formations make it rich field for the
investigation of the scientist. Uni
versal interest attaches to it, and IN
order that the natural desire to visit it
may be accomplished in the most
satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged for
a tour covering period of sixteen
days, leaving New York and Philadel-
phia, Thursday, August a7.
AS the tour will be run under the
personally conducted tourist system
inaugurated by the above-named COM
pany, it is hardly necessary to give the
assurance that it will be arranged in
the most complete manner. 1t might
be well to state, however, that no
other means of seeing the park thor
oughly is comparable to that afforded
by a well-ordered personally-conduct-
ed tour.
A special train, consisting of
dining, Pullman vestibule drawing
room, sleeping, compartment, and
observation cars, which will be the
best that can be secured, will be pro,
vided, in which passengers will live
en- rOHte, and whenever the journey is
broken the choicest rooms in the
leading hotels will be reserved for the
use Of the tourists, for which regular
rates are paid, SO that the guests,
although members of party, enjoy
all the privileges of individuals who
may have made their own selections.
The party will be conducted through
out by tourist agent especially Sc
lected for his ability and experience,
with chaperon to look after the com
fort of lady passengers.
The rate, covering every necessary
expense, will be $2Io from Boston,
and $500 from New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Washington, and
Harrisburg; proportlonate rates from
other points.
Detailed itinerary will be sent on
application to Tourist Agent, 2o5

Responds to the Toast of "Our Kin

full Tones.

LONDON, ENG, March 24.-The ami
versary dinner of the London General Pen
sion Society was given tonight. Among
the guests was the Hon. Thomas F. Bay
ard, the American En- mbassador, who re-
sponded to the toast "Our Kin Beyond the
Seas" He remarked upon the strong
family likeness of the kin beyond the seas
to the people of England. They were. he
said, as like two peas, and they resem-
bled each other in patriotism and pluck.
Mr.. Bayard dwelt upon the differences
of opinion among his countrymen and
upon the value of individual opinion. He
said that since he came to England he
had never found occasion to change his
tone, and there was nothing he would say
here that he would not say at home and
vice versa. [Cheers.] He did not expect
unanimity and would almost say God for
bid it. A man must not be expected to
speak in a tone that would suit everybody.
He rejoiced that in the system of Govern
ment that originated here and that had
been carried beyond the Atlantic there
was something that enabled man to
speak according to his own conscience.

both countries.
