NATIONAL.

The New York Prohibition state
convention, which met at Saratoga
on the 10Th inst, made temperance
the only issue, ignoring silver and
tariff; they passed the resolution fav-
oring woman's suffrage, but did not
make it a part of the platform. Hale
Johnson, the vice presidential candi-
date, and Stevens, of Michigan, chair
man of congressional committee,
spoke to the crowd. 1t was thought
that w. Y. Radwell, treasurer of the
Standard Oil Co., will be their candf-
date for governor. Presidential cleo
tors have been chosen, so it will be
seen that no matter what other politi-
cal parties may do the Prohibs have
their own particular troubles.
Bryan, the great silver-Populist-
Democrat high-muck-a has been
playing society ladada in New York
ever since his Madison Square Gar
den speech.
Senator Thurston charges on the
authority of prominent Democratic
papers that Bryan had been in the
employ of the silver mine owners and
asked Bryan to deny it; which he
did, and Thurston took back his part
of it, but the Democratic papers max
ing the charge have not taken back
the charge yet
Bryan is going to stump New York,
and will get swamped as sure as he
is born.
Senator Sherman has delivered a
speech in opening the campaign in
Ohio that cannot be answered by the
silverites. Every subscriber to the
Liquor Dealer should read it.
Tom Reed promises a good rousing

it is not to receive big buffers from

TEMPERANoE AND oHURCH.
Committees Report Strong on Pro
hibition, But Minority is Large.

SOnn1CCeeS Report SJfOng on EfO-
hibition, But Minority is Large.
Cleveland, May 15-There was a live
ly meeting of the committee on tenn
perance at the NJ. E. general conference
and as a result two reports defining
the policy of the church with respect
to the temperance question will be sub
mitted to the conference.
The majority report viii be in line
with the action of the conference Of
four years ago at Omaha, which was
to the effect that no political party has
the right to expect the support of
Christians if that party does not de-
clare in favor of the total prohibition
Of the liquor traffic.
This report viii have the support of
sixteen members of the committee and
viii be advanced by DR.. LOwther, of
Wichita, Kansas. Fifteen members of
the committee viii sign a minority re-
port opposing the majority report. 1t
viii urge that the adoption of the ma
jority report viii commit the church to
the Prohibition party and claim that
the more effective practical temper
anee work can be accomplished through
the mediums of the old parties.
DR.. Everett, one of the New England
conference; DR.. Mcfarland of Illinois,
Prof. Harris of Maine and DR.. Quayle
of Kansas City viii support the minor
ity report. The committee decided
unanimously to cooperate with the
anti-salOOn league
The church extension committee de-
cided to recommend that hereafter no
assistance be given to churches that
cost more than $4,000. except by spe-
cial legislation 1t was asserted that
many wealthy churches had in the past
secured aid which ought in the past
have been reserved for poor congrega-
tions.
The committee on book concern de-
cided to recommend the appointment
of a commission to prepare a new hyrn-
nal for the use of the church from
which much of the light music now in
use would be eliminated.
The committee on education took up
the subject of making loans to stu
dents 1t was decided to refuse such
loans to students in the Mexican and
South American conferences. 1t would
be suggested to the conference in view
of the fact that $500 600 has been loaned
in twenty-five years and only $4,000
Of that sum repaid, that a better sys-
tenn of accounting be adopted and all
students who are assisted be required
to waive the statute of limitations in
the notes they give as securities.

ADVANCE IN ATCHISON.
Block Of the Santa Fe Sold in London
at AZ 1-2.

New York, May 15.-The advance in
Atchison is on the purchase of a large
block for the Continent The order was
executed in part after the close Of the
exchange yesterday afternoon. 1t is
said that a block of 500, 600 was bought
at an equivalent of 1919. Amsterdam has
been a considerable seller of Atchison
securities for several weeks past but
the real buying center is in London.
The change in orders is supposed to
be due in part to the expectation of IA
vOrable developments on the arrival
here on Saturday of Mr.. Robert Elem
ing, who is one of the most active reOr-
ganizers. A gentleman familiar with
AtchisOn affairs says that the floating
debt, as reported by Expert Little, was
S9149, 5S7T6.
These obligations have all been re-
tired, except the ordinary monthly bills
and there is sufficient cash in the com
pany's hands and with the reorganiza-
ton committee to make the Atchfson
treasury exceptionally strong.
The accounts of the receivers, cover
ing the operations of the road during
the receivership, are in progress of set
tlement in the federal court. The time
for settlement of the accounts of the re-
organization comittee has not yet ar
rived The final assessment on the sec
ond mortgage bonds is still being re-
ceived, both in this country and in Eu-
rope.

The Talk Of Cats.

Cats differ as much as human beings
in the quality of their voices and in
their talkatiyeness, and, as far as my
observation goes, the finest bred have
the least to say. Princess and her i'm
mediate descendants were takers;
they always mewed for what they
wanted, and in response to a greeting or
question; and they asked many ques-
Ions, the drift of which we could not
always catch, with unmistakable in
terrogation in the tone. She and
'M'liss, who was q chatterbox after her
kind, both had a habit of making lit
tie conversational sounds in the throat,
as many dogs have, especially when
much petted; they would keep up this
soto voce communication for ten or
fifteen minutes, much to our perplex-
ity, though it sometimes evidently ex-
pressed affection or a wish for sylnpa-
thy. They had great variety of intlec-
tions in talking to their kittens, and
many of them were tender and even
musical, like the chirp of bird.
'M'liss had a cheerful new, particular
ly in bidding one good morning, but
some cats have always q tone of COM
plant. Most of mine acknowledge any
little service, such as bringing food or
opening door, by NEW Of gratitude.

Arousing After-Dlnncr Enthusiasm.

At public dinner there was on the
table in front of Edward Everett All
ornamented dish, with two miniature
silk American flags stuck into the
Wand. a waiter removed it from the
table to the sideboard that it might be
carved. AS soon as Mr.. Everett missed
the dish he seemed seriously annoyed
and whispered to another waiter to re-
place it. A gentleman sitting near no.
ticed this little by scene and was sur
prised that the great man should ap-
pear annoyed at the disappearance OF
the dish and delighted at its reappear-
ance. When the orator made his speech
in response to national toast the mys-E
terry was explained. For as he warmed
with his theme-the greatness of the
republic--he spoke of the emotions ex-
cited by the flag of the union, whose
folds they beheld gracefully festooned
around the walls. Suddenly, as il
moved by the impulse of the moment,
he seized the two little flags from the
dish and waved them, one in each hand,
above his head, and the company APP
plauded the impromptu act. -Chicago

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

PROF. Rnoult, Of Grenold, has fos
ceived the biennial prize of 81 900 from
the Academic des Sciences for his dis
ccvery of the numerical ratio between
the molecular weight of a substance
and the difference produced on tho
freezing point of the liquid that dis
solves it, as well as on the expansion of
the vapors of the liquid.
Intense cold, as is we'll known,
burns-if we may Use the term-liko
heat. If "drop" of air at tempera-
tnre of $50 degrees below zero wero
placed upon the hand it would have the
same effect as would the same quantity
Of molten steel. Everyone who has
the care of horses ought to know the
intense pain caused by placing FROST
ed bit into horses mouth. It burns
like hot iron.
The Commercial and Financial
Chronicles statement OF the bank
clearings of the United States for the
full year shows total for 1895 of $685.

over 1894. The increase for the first
quarter was rs per cent; second quar-
ter, 2O.4 per cent; third quarter, 21.4
1,er cent; fourth quarter, 17.7 per cent.
No other large city shows such ratio
of increase over 1894 as New York.
1T has been estimated" says w.
Fl. Lamaster, "that cannon ball NOV
ing with velocity of 500 miles an
hour, and leaving our earth at certain
time and travelling in the direction of
the nearest fixed star, would net reach
it in less than 4,5o0, 900 years; and yet
there are stars in the heavens visible
through telescopes that would require

velocnty.aat least 100000, 900 years to
reach them"
The delicate and inf:equent oper-'
alton of removing a steel silver from a
mans eye by magnetism was SUCCESS
fully performed, at Anderson, Ind, .
few days ago. John Carter, a workman.
in thewire nail works. had q steel silver
three-fourths of an inch long buried
in his eyeball. The piece of steel could
not be seen. A very high-power. mag
net was placed over the eyeball and the
silver was thus drawn out. The sight
Of the eye was destroyed.
