J. P. MORGAN'S PRIZE.
Owner of Royal Blooded Three-Leg-
ged Collie Pup.

New York. Sept. 81. Pierpont Nor
gan, the New York banker, is the
proud possessor of a three-legged collie
pup, which was born a few weeks ago
at his summer residence at Cragston.
The puppy is as well formed as any
other animal of his species, except that
the left forward leg is absent and the
right one grows almost out of the cen
ter of the body. Even at this early
stage the front leg seems to be stronger
than the hind ones. 1t is a female, and
it's color is a dirty drab. 1t is blue
bIooded in the highest degree. Fins
burg Hero, it's father, was the winner
of more than a score of gold medals
and silver cups in England. Its mother,
Blue Ruin, is a direct descendant of
the famous Seton Hero, Mr.. Morgan
favorite dog. The mother is a blue
merle, an unusual color among dogs.
Blue Ruin was a prize winner in the
puppy class at the Madison Square dog
show last year.
The young collie has more prize blood
in it's veins than any of its ancestors.
Rufford, Ormond, Charlton, Phyllis and
ROslyn Wilkes are among its immed-
late relatives.
The puppy is treated with great care
and attention by Manager Armstrong
and his assistants. Twice a day it
gets a bath and has it's hair nicely
combed. Yesterday it opened its eyes
for the first time. No artificial food is
given to the puppies.

siderate as you please of err1ng coun-
tryrnen who have been honestly misled

There has been an ill-considered APP
peal to Republicans to keep our dis
tinctive principles out of sight, in view
of the national danger from these
monstrous proposals But, we cannot,
if we would. The government is Wor-
ried for it's current expenses 1t must
raise more if it would not go into
bankruptcy. Our way of raising it is
by a tariff; and there is no other way
except by direct taxation or by more
borrowing. Would the men who beg
US to let the tariff alone favor either?
And yet the tariff they are afraid We
may touch is the very tariff Mr.. Cleve-
land considered so discreditable that he
would not sign it. We cannot seek the
SURFACES of the people under any dis
guiseS.
Forgive these crude hints about ed
ftorial work in this campaign. You
know I should not have ventured upon
them except with your renewed re-
quest and I certainly should not have
addressed them to you who need them
so little The campaign you are already
making gives assurance of the happy
result in November And yet neither
the editors nor the great orators of the

questioned him as to the qualities of
Agatite,' a cement plaster of con-
siderable reputation, which the COM

Cement Plaster is a natural cement
and the most perfect plastering mater

composition from the cement taken
from the famous Cheops Pyramid of
Egypt. The Egyptian cement runs
higher in sulphate of lime and lower in
