their meeting in Rochester y. y, on
Wednesday last. sizes up the present
boom in business in the following terse
style:
The spontaneous influx of gold and
resumption of manufacturing since the
result of the election was known prove
conclusively that the gold barons and the
corporations locked up the money and
closed the factories of the country to Sc
cure the victory over the people by arbi-
trary force.
The demands of the people for the
mccessnrics OF life were no greater after
the election than before and except the
millions laid ont by the money power to
corrupt the voters, the people have no
more money with which to buy the
nccessarics of life after election than they
had before it,
No honest cause can be given for the
unlocking of money and the revival of in
dusSries after the election that did not
exist before the election occurred such

Harter's Innovation.

Mr. Harter was the author of an in
povation in office seeking which created
a sensation when it was first disclosed.
After President Cleveland was elected
he made out list of every federal office
IN his district and wrote opposite each
the name of the man he considered most
competent to fill it, He had a wide ac-
quaintance himself, having lived there
from boyhood, but when he was in doubt
consulted persons in the different locali-
ties in whose Judgment he had conf
dence. Then, without saying anything
to any one, he filed a copy of this list
with President Cleveland and said:
These are my nominations for all the
offices In my district. If you desire to
appoint them, | shall be very much
pleased. If you desire to know my rea.
sons Tor selecting any particular man for
any particular place, shall be glad to
give them. If you think proper to APP
point others, shall not be offended.
submit these names as a matter of duty
ana shall not approach you ON the sub
Ject again unless am sent for. u
AT the same time the list was pub-
hshed IN the local papers with am an
houhcement that il would be useless for
any one to attempt to persuade Mr.. Har-
Ter 10 recommend any persons but those
named. Chicago Record

down upon it the displeasure of the
Crown Princess Stephanie, who has
spent some months every winter in the
place ever since she was left widow.

Virgin, the Star of the Sea, that stands

The artist had pleased the princess by
making the Virgin striking portrait of
herself and thought he would repeat
the compliment in the new monument.
But the princess, when she saw her own
features ON a completely nude statue,

either have to change the head of its
nymph or provide her with clothes.

Major Robbins, of the Second Indi-

has been for two years one OF the most
influential members Of the Indiana
legislature and the author of the famous
Indiana Military Law of 1889. Major
Robbins was very sick man up to the
time of taking Paine's celery compound.

remedy can do to make a sick person

the house and my bed.

A REGULAR MIX UP.
This Story Refers to Psrtridges, Quail, a
Black Snake and n Mink

This Story Refers to Partridges, Quail, n
Black Snake and Mink.
A gentleman living near Natchitoches,
La, caught dozen cartridges recently
and put thom in woven wire chicken
coop in the back yard.
Next morning when the servant went
out to kill the quail for breakfast she
witnessed queer sight. A big black
snake was sprawled across the floor of
the coop, l / distinct humps in his anat-
omy showing where as many plump
cartridges had been stored away.
The reptile had evidently got in his
little work on so many of the birds
unmolested, but an enemy had arrived
upon the scene Of action before the
twelfth had disappeared. A slim, hun
cry looking mink, still wearing his
glossy black winter coat, had stolen up
from the river ON foraging expedition,
arriving most probably just in time to
put i'll bid for the last partridge.
He had succeeded in poking his small
head through the meshes of the wire
and grabbed the birds throat in regula-
ton blood sucker style. But the snake
had the choice of positions. With little
greater expansion of his flexible jaws he
had got clinch on the mink's head
and was holding on like grim death, the
animal kicking and scratching mean
while for all his slim limbs were worth.
How the battle would have ended had
not the servant arrived and dispatched
both mink and snake in short order it is
hard to tell. The meshes of the wire
were too close to admit the body of the
mink within, and the snake had gorged
himself SO that it would have been i'm
possible for him to creep through and
keep up his work of deglutition. Phil

AGED MISSOURI POSTMASTER.


Klijah Watson, of Nashville, Has
Held Office Forty-three Years.
In point of continual service, Elijah
Watson, of Rusbvlle, Buchanan Coun-
ty, Mo-, Is the oldest postmaster in
the United States. He was appointed
under the administration Of Franklin
Pierce, on June 10, 1853, aud from that
day to this he has been in uninter-
rnpted charge. The office belongs to
the fourth class, and even now, after
forty three years Of careful nourishing
by Mr. Watson, It Is only worth $3.50
year to the postmaster.
Rushville Is 'iery old town for its
size, and Watson was by no means its
first postmaster. James Dickson, who
had the largest store in town, was post
master before Tim. The office only
paid $40 yea then, and Dickson,
finding it sort of elephant on his
hands, asked Elijah Watson, who was
his clerk, If he would not like to take
1t. Watson did not mind, as he could
act as postmaster and retain his posi-
ton. Dickson made the recommends
ton to the department, and in a few
weeks the commission came. During
the forty-three years of Watson's perv-
Ice he has only been required to give
four different bonds The present. adj
ministration required the largest,
$1,000, but Elijah Watson could have
given 1t had 1t called for several times
that amount
During the time he has been post
master the Office has only been robbed
once. The robbery occurred about
twenty years ago, and $25 in money and

reimbursed Watson to the extent OF
$40. In politics Elijah Watson was a

Hid In a Tree After the Battle of Seven
Pines.
Lumbermen engaged in chopping trees
near Seven Pines the other day felled
one, in the hollow of the trunk of which
was found the skeleton of what was sup
posed to have been Federal soldier.
The trunk of the tree was large, and it
is supposed that the soldier hid there
while the Federal army was on the re-
treat from the battlefield.
A clasp of the Sixty ninth New York
regiment was found with the bones, and
no doubt the man was member of that
organization. The bones have been bur-
led in the National cemetery.
