cry, where an autopsy was held. To
keep out the prying eyes of observers,
the carpets were torn up and hung at
the windows. Then the cooking uten-
sils were used to contain various por-
lions of the bodies as they were dis
sected, and the blood was spilled all
over the furniture, hangings and car
pets Unfortunately. Much of the fur
niture was ruined. But the worst was
70 come. Time and money cleaned up
the cottage, but nothing COULD drive
away the disembodied spirits of the I'M
fortunate young men, as fer some rea-
son they took fancy to the Emery cot
tage. Several parties of young people
rented it, but after remaining there a
night or two they decamped. Ugly sto-
ries got afoat. Mischievous boys nailed
such signs as 'Spooks to let" Ghosts
Tor sale and"The Morgue" to the prem
lses. Finally Mr.. Emery himself moved
in, but his family did not care to remain
any longer than the others. Just what
happened nobody cares to tell, but there
are whispers of groans, blows, the
splashing of water and blood-curdling
screams that are loudest on windy
nights. However foolish such stories
sound, they are believed by hundreds
in and about Sodus Point, and the cot
tage is rendered worse than useless by
them. Mr. Emery has asked the board
of supervisors of Wayne county, N. Y,
to pay $1S7 for damages done by the
coroner, which amount, he says, is
merely nominal.

Dog Brought His Pardon.

The last day of lis term of office
| Governor Brown of Kentucky pardoned
0. G. Garden of Louisville, who was
sentenced two years to serve a term OF
eight years for manslaughter. For some
time Garden had been employed as a
"trusty'' at the executive mansion
doing chores and running errands. The
governors dog, a fine-looking specimen
OF the shepherd breed, is family pet,
and is unusually intelligent. 1t was
part OF Gardens duty to look after the
animal, and they came to be fast
friends. When the prison doors were
opened in the morning the collie was
there to greet his convict friend and ac-
company him to the mansion. At night
he returned with his striped playmate
TO the grim portals. When the pardon
was made out last Tuesday the paper
was enclosed in stout envelope and
given to the animal, which was told to
go to the penitentiary. With wag
of its tail it left the mansion and ran
down the old accustomed route to the
prison. A telephone message apprised
the guards of his coming, and he was
admitted without delay. Garden was in
the yard patiently awaiting the arrival
OF the governors messenger, never
dreaming that the dog had been select
ed. Catching sight of the well-known
face, the dog ran up to the convict and
laid the envelope at his feet. The glad
cry of happy surprise that the overjoyed
prisoner gave vent to on catching up
the official envelope and tearing it open
was re-echoed by a succession of Joyous
parks from the four-footed harbinger Of
the good tidings. A moment later man
and dog were running at full speed to-
ward the governors office to turn the
release over to the warden. The scene
was witnessed by fifty or more convicts,
who quickly realized the good fortune
that had come to their fellow prisoner
Removing their caps they gave three :
cheers for the lucky fellow.-Ex.

The Burglar Was a Woman.

Robert Powell of Rushville, Ind, was
awakened Saturday night by the sound
of footsteps on the tin roofing covering
his porch and he saw the figure CT a
man evidently trying to raise window
Mr.. Powell gave chase and captured the
intruder some distance away, but not
until after fierce resistance, followed
by the startling discovery that his cap
tive was woman dressed in male
clothing. The woman begged piteously
for release, but she stubbornly refused
to give her name, saying to Mr.. Powell
that she would be everlastingly ruined
and that she had been driven to attempt
robbery by want. Her tears and en-
treaties prevailed and Mr.. Powell Guf-
fered her to go.

According to Washington dispatches,
Secretary Morton, of the department OF
agriculture, has issued an order post
poning the certifcation of export beef
to March 1, 1896, on account of numer-
Gus petitions having been received from
exporters of beef alleging that great
damage to their trade must follow the
enforcement of an order requiring the
usual certifcation showing that the
meat offered for expectation is sound
and wholesome to be made January l,
1896, on account Of the large quantity
OF beef On hand, which, though in
spected, cannot be identified for certiti-
cation. His purpose is to give the de-
sired opportunity for the trade to ap-
peal to congress for certain moditca-
tons of the existing law, which are al
legged to be necessary to prevent the de-
struction of portion of the trade.

Cast His Bread on the Water.

New York special: About four years
ago Henry Lewis, a confectioner, who
lives with his wife and six children at
81 Floyd street, Brooklyn, found an
aged woman sitting en- the stoop of his
house. She was poorly dressed and evil
IDENTIFY without funds. AS she showed
evidences of culture, he invited her to
his home. She accepted, and Mrs. Lewis
refused to let her 60. The aged visitor
remained with them until six months
ago, when Lewis found it a difficult
matter to support his family. Then she
told him she would not contiue to be a
burden on them, and insisted on going
to the poorh0use at Flatbush, where
she remained until a few weeks ago,
when she returned. She had gone away
comparatively pauper, but returned
worth 100000, which she has turned
over to Lewis for his kindness in tax
inb her in and caring for her when she
was without a friend. The discovery
that she was heir to the money was
made when the surrogate of San Fran
cisco inquired for her through the
Brooklyn surrogate, and it was discov-
cred that she was an inmate OF the
poorhouse.

Hog S wallows q Watch.

J. F. Patterson, farmer living west
of Fort Dodge, Iowa, is minus a gold
watch, valuable family heirloom,
through a strange mishap. He was out
in the hog yard, when he happened to
drop the timepiece. The glitter of the
gold caught the watchful eyes of the
porkers and they made unanimous
rush for the watch. When Mr.. Patter-
son succeeded in driving them away the
watch was gone, and it is quite evident
that one Of the animals swallowed it.
AS there were nearly fifty hogs in the
Enclosure 1t would hardly pay to kill
them to secure the timepiece, and that
is the only way to secure'it.

value" is purely term of exchange.
If people will bestow little thought
upon the subject they will easily per-
ceive that the declaration of a gold dol
lar always being worth 100 cents, which
is put forth by the gold standard peo-
pie as "clincher," does not in the re-
hottest degree touch the main question.
1t takes just as many grains of gold
to make dollar" as the law says
shall be put into dollar. At one time
it took q grains OF gold to make a
make a dollar. Now it only takes
25 $40. Why? Simply because the
law has been changed.
But to-day the gold dollar of rs $40
grains is about twice as valuable as the
gold dollar of 81 grains formerly was
that is, it will exchange for about twice
the quantity of other things.
The main reason Tor this is that sill
yer, which formerly shared about
equally with gold the demand for money
use, has been demonetized and the de-
mand has been concentrated upon gold,
with the result that its value in eX-
change or purchasing power has been
nearly or quite doubled.
This means that the producer is now
selling his product for about one-half
the amount of money which he former
ly obtained for it-National Bimetal-

Northern explorers look upon an ice
berg lifting its glittering peak high
above the sea upon which it floats. To
all appearances it is as stable as a rock
ribbed mountain. But it is two-thirds
submerged, and down in the depths,
warmer than the air, the gulf stream is
at work upon its base. Suddenly, IN
dermined by the tepid currents, it
topples over and sinks in the sea. Il
is often so with reputation when dis
migrating influences are at work upon
the foundations of character. The
shining summit is held in high esteem,
but, suddenly, admiration is turned into
dismay, when the base, honeycombed
by secret sins, fails to support, and all
crumbles and disappears that seemed
so brilliant and lasting. The swift de-
cent of so many to the oblivion of
shame is the product of unseen faults
long at work to produce the sudden
and surprising ruin. When character
is lost, reputation will soon be wrecked.
Be what you seem.

RcEiVal in Prison.

Warden Harley, Of the Indiana state
prison, tells of remarkable religious
revival in progress in the penitentiary.
Since the wave OF religious excitement
struck the prison more than 100 of the
most hardened convicts have professed
conversion. A Christian Endeavor So
ciety, with 200 members, has been or
ganized within the prison walls. The
warden says the convicts who are at
the head of the society are wondering
II the society will be entitled to dele
gates in the next national convention of
the Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor. Various religious forms have
been introduced in the prison. Those
convicts whose consciences tell them
they ought to be baptized are taken to
the bath room, where, with solemn GER
emoRy, they are baptized in bath tub.
The warden says there has been a great
Improvement in the conduct of the 900
convicts since the religious wave took
hold on the prison. He is encouraging

twice every day, and after recovering

services at the Methodist Episcopal
Church few weeks ago, and Richmond
has been a constant attendant. He was
converted, and last Tuesday went into
a trance and remained in that condi-
ton twenty-five hours. His body was
cold and rigid, with the exception of HIS
arms. His eyes remained open. and
shone like those of a maniac. After re-
covering from this trance he had moth.
ing to say, only that he was conscious
of everything that was TRANSMITTING
around him. He says that he has gazed
into heaven, and that he saw a beau-
tiful scene. He described heaven "a
one large room filled with angels. 0ll
OF whom wore crowns. He saws Jesus
was seated in the center of the room IN

was surrounded by shining stars. He
says that among the angels he noticed

The manufacture of beet sugar will
be attempted in the neighborhood Of
Milwaukee next year. Fifty half-acre
patches of sugar beets cultivated in the
southern part of the state have given
results SO satisfactory, company with
a cash capital of $150000 has been
formed. 1t is claimed the soil of the
southern portion of Wisconsin is pecu-
liarly adapted to the raising of the
white beet. The soil is rich, light and
sandy, all of the requisites necessary
to the cultivation of this species. In
addition to this, there is underneath
the soil a limestone formation which it
acclaimed improves the saccharine quail
tiles of the beet. The results of the ex-
periments which have been made dur
ing the last year show that the Wis
consin beet is much harder and more
solid than those which are grown in
more southern chimes. There is about
IL per cent of saccharine matter in the
beets. The company has engaged a
number Of chemists who will examine
the land which is to be put under culti-
walton for this particular purpose and
decide which land is most suitable and
what kind Of seed will produce the best

AN OLD MAN AFFLICTED.
WEALTHY AND DECLARED A LU-
NArIo AT NINETY YEARS.
The Name smith Was Not Good
Enough for IRim-story ola
Long speech.

About u month ago, Amor de
Cosmos, a politician of British
Columbia who is more than nine
tv years old, was declared a
lunatic by the Supreme Court,
and his large estate placed accord
ingly in the hands of trustees.
His real name was William
Smith but, thinking that too
common, he long ago had it
changed by the courts in Cali
fornla to the more aristocratic one
that he has since borne. Amor
de Cos nos went to Brit sh Colum-
bia from California in 1858, and
soon became a power in politics.
When the province joined the
Dominion he was made local
premier, but he was not content
until he became member of the
Dominion Parliament. There, in
spite of the egotism that was his
main weakness, he commanded
attention and fought hard and
we'll for the interests of his pro-
vince.
A Victoria dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle, telling Of
the lunacy decree regarding de
Cosmos, says: He has been
credited with having made the
longest speech in the history of
the Dominion House, but this was
a mistake, although his vanity
prevented him from denying the
report" Substituting the "Pro.
yincial' for the Dominion House"
the story is an old one and the
writer, who read about the wond-
erful effort nearly if not quite
score of years ago, has never
known it to have been denied. 1t
was at the close of a session of
the British Columbia Legislature,
and Amor de Cosmos began talk
ing against time to defeat a bill.
Beginning at 10 O'clock in the
morning he rambled along, read
ing extracts from bucks and re-
ports, all through the day and the
livelong night. AT 6 in the morn.
ing he fell back exhausted into
bis seat, blood oozing from his
blistered lips. He had held the
floor twenty hours.
Since the remarkable old mans
mind has given way, his egotism
has become more pronounced than
ever. The dispatch already quot
ed from says; He imagines that
he was prominent member of
the old Scotch Parliament; that
he sat in the Parliament at West
minister, and that his ability be-
ing at once recognized, he was
promoted to the upper house. He
also thinks he sat in the old
house in College Green, when
Ireland had her native parliament,
and came to this continent to edu-
cate the people in parliamentary
usagas."
