. HARMON IS HEARD.
ATTORNEY General Defends Right Of Fed-

n. Washington, Sept. PA ttorney-.
General Harmon in response to numer-s
Gus requests has given out for publi-
cation an official opinion on the clause
of the Chicago platform opposing fed.
eral interference in local labor troubles.
tAsynopsis follows:
He assumes that the declaration Of the
Chicago platform, frequently reiterated by
Mr.. Bryan. alludes to the Chicago strike.
and he has thoroughly analysed the right
Of the president to interfere in that disturb.
ance over the heai As Of the Illinois state au-
thorities. The attorney-general points to
the fact that the FEDERAL interference plank
Of the Chicago platform. was not inserted
in the platform Of the populist or silver
parties, both-of which also nominated Mr.
Bryan for president. -
He declares that the attitude Of Mr.
Bryan In this matter is far more serious
than the money question or any other ques,
ton now before the people. Mr.. Bryan has
insisted that the right sof.the federal gov.
eminent to suppress riots does not operate
until the state authorities have dem anded
federal assistance. The encouragement
declares that this Is an absurd view of the
question, and he quotes the constitution OF
the; United States to prove his assertion.
He says that the president in Quell;ng the
Chicago riots acted by the authority of
bellion was suppressed. HI says Mr.. Bry-
ans doctrine that this law Is unconstitu-
tional is more dangerous than the doctrine
Of secession. t:,I se@z:5g.iE.9F fF ~
p. The Bryan doctrine. he declares, would re-
duce the governments power to mere MINI
terry. He says 1t was no more intended ia
make the general government dependent
upon the states with respect to matters
committed to it than it was to make the
states subject to the general government
with respect to the rights reserved to them.
This he adds, is we'll known to lawyers and
students of constitutional Nv, but may not
be clear to the people. It was evidently not
clear to the trainers Of the Chicago plat
form, and has not been discovered by the
candidates who stand on that platform.
Attorney. General Harmon in this con.
| nection quotes from the Congressional Rec
! ord q resolution offered III the senate dur
! ing the Chicago strike by Senator Daniel
Of Virginia, and adopted without apparent
| dissent, in which the president was in.
dorsed and praised for the prompt meas.
| ures that he adopted to put down the Chi.
cogo riots. Senator Daniel, who wrote
this resolution, was one OF the men who
wrote the Chicago platform
| Mr.. Harmon says he believes Mr.. Bryan
has been inadvertently led to error in his
statements about federal authority. HI
has too much respect. he says, for Mr.
Bryan's ability as a lawyer to believe tina
he questions the right of President Cleve
land to interfere in the Chicago riots. H,
has too much respect for Mr.. Rryan's honor
and patriotism to believe that if elected
president he would not do as Mr. CLEVELAND
did If the situation should arise.

The number Of minor casualties and
injuries to persons is large, and further
reports are constantly being received.
Over 50 injured have thus far been re-
ported. Several men and women had
their skulls fractured by the falling o.

sought Shelter from the storm. A cab
driver, who had taken refuge in his cab,
and his horses were killed together AMI
the cab demolished. Nine members of
the staff of La France who were leaving

storm suddenly broke were all seriously

At least a dozen persons were carried
bodily into the Seine from bridges and
from the quais and were rescued with
great difficulty, several being injured
and left in critical condition, so that
they had to be taken to the hospitals.

self-control. Everybody started to run,
without much regard to obstacles, per-

Valuable Keepsake.

C. o. Mousse, of Minneapolis, we'll
known as the first white male child
bern in Minnesota, had relic of the
civil war to show the G. A. K. visitors
last week. Mr.. Mousse, having re-
moved from Minnesota to Missouri in
1855, enlisted at the breaking out of
the war, in Company B of the Second
Missouri infantry. He was with the
Confederate army at Vicksburg when
Pemberton surrendered to Grant, and
was paroled with the rest of the pris-
oners captured. The original parole
document is in the hands of the gov
eminent, but a few weeks ago Mr..
Mousse received from the war depart
ment photographed copy, signed by
James William Dawes, captain of the
Ninety-seventh Illinois, who was pa
rolling official. Mr.. Mousse, who re-
moved to Minnesota in 1885, after an
absence of 80 years. prizes this docu.
ment very highly.

LITTLE NELLIE,s PEAS.

Nellie had just finished shelling the peas for
dinner, when Josie Irving called to her from
the gate, ooh, Nell. come with me down to the
river after sand for my bird" "All right"
said Nellie, and SO without waiting to take the
peas in the house she put them down on the
floor ana ran off, leaving the gate open.
Her mother had often scolded her for leav-
ing the gate open, because Nellie had some lit
tie pet geese that would always come into the
yard if they saw the gate open.
There was bed of pansies in the yard that
Nellies mother was very proud of. The geese
were proud of it, too, as one of the best kind of
places for them to scratch in. and Nellie re-
mem bered it, when twenty minutes later she
came up the walk and saw half of the pansy-
bed scratched out
geese there eating the peas up; and besides
pan.
.You miserable old geese,' she said, as she
drove them out OF the yard ard shut the gate,
you've spoiled mammals nice pansies and
eaten lot of my peas up, and mamma will
scold me for it.
''Weil," she thought 81 s'pose Twas to blame
for leaving the gate open. guess had better
tell mamma just how it was"
''Wen," said her mother, when she had fin
ished, ,"there will be hardly enough peas for din
ner if we all have some, so you can go without
yours, and it will help you remember to keep
the gate shut after this"
Nellie was very fond of green peas, and she
wished her mother had given her scolding
instead but it was better for her as it was,
for she seldom leaves the gate open now.

In many of the papers recently there
have been big black pictures of hands with
the bones showing through. Some OF
them looked like skeleton hands with
gloves on. And there were cuts OF fast
closed pocketbooks revealing the money
inside, and of pencils with the leads show
ing through. The insides of heads have
not been photographed yet, but the great
inven tor, Edison, is at work on the prob
lem and he hopes before long to make a
fine picture of human brain. 1t is possi-
BILE that some day boys and girls may pre-
sent their friends with portraits of the in
sides of their heads as well as of the out
sides. Think of that
Perhaps some of you-even though you
read the papers carefully-do not under
stand how these wonderful pictures ara
made. Indeed, no one in the world ex-

ing it vacuum. Into each end of this
tube wire led. and these wires were
connected, as shown in the cut with
battery (E) and with an induc-
ton of Rohmkoff coil (D) which in
terrupts the current many times and gives
it the power of passing through the
vacuum tube. When the connections
are made and the current begins to flow
ia very bright and beautiful blue light
blazes from the end of the tube known
as the cathode. This is the wonderful
light that has the power of shining straight
through almost any substance. Conse-
quently when man holds up his hand be-
tween the tube and the sensitive plate (A)
of the Photographic device the light shines
through it and produces photograph in
which the flesh shows light-colored, be-
cause it is less hard and dense than the
bones, which show dark.
And il the experimenters can thus pho
tograph the inside of things perhaps they
will some day be able to photograph the
inside of Tommy's head when his mother
is going away and he knows there is

Tommy, wouldn't itP And there is

her she might her joy knew no bounds.
"Take basket TO bring them in,'' said her
mother; 'and be home soon, Alice" And
Alice ran off. f
Very soon she returned with her ducks. She
took such good care of them that they grew
very fast.
One day when she came home from school
she found her mother sitting on the porch
sheliing peas aOh, let me shell them,
mamma" said she. "Well, you may if you
want to-" replied her mother.
'I am going out in the yard with my buckles,
mamma, ior haven't seen them to-day" So
she took basket to sit on and then she came
back for the peas. She sat down and began to
shell her peas, but no sooner had she gone to
work than her pets began to gather around
her. "You can't have any of my peas" she
said to the ducks. t'You can only have the
pods"
Just then seven or eight peas fell to the
ground; she stopped to pick them up, but the
ducks had eaten them. Then they lifted their
heads as much as to say, 'We did get some
after all.' JEAN TOMBSTONE.

One doctor in Chicago succeeded in pho

1t is simple process after all. You know
how ordinary photographs are made-by
drawing the reflected rays Of the sun from
a certain object through glass lens and
allowing them to reproduce the object on

through opaque obiects-it is reflected
from them-and so no one has ever been
able to photograph the insides of Things

Bread, we think, is the most curious
material out of which clock has ever
been constructed. There was, and may
still be, in Milan clock made of bread.
The maker was native of Milan. quotes
Harper's Round Table, who devoted
three years of his time to the task. He
was very poor, and being without means to
purchase the necessary metal for the
making of clock, he set apart regularly
q portion of his bread each day, eating
the crust and saving the soft part. To
soIidify this he made use OF certain salt.
and when the various pieces were dry
they became perfectly hard and insoluble
in water. The clock was of good size and
kept fair time.
Another strange clock was exhibited
some years ago in Liverpool. 1t was con-
structed of pins, buttons, and all sorts OF
odds and ends by a pauper named Mer-
Ger. The maker of this extraordinary
timepiece thus describes it himself: The
back and front of the clock were made
from iron bed-laths, while the barrel was
part of large brass ferrule, the ends being
brass-buttons hammered out"
The barrel arbor had originally been the
blade of shoemaker's awl, the main and
several other wheels were nothing more
nor less than suspender buttons from the

were portions of bygone knittine-needles.

So seeing your picture of the little girl in
Sundays paper, 1 thought l would write a
story about it,
In the picture 1 think that the little girl has
been told to shell peas, and she went out in
the back yard to do 1t.
When the dueklings saw what she was doing
they came around her, she commenced to play
with them, and spilled some of the peas on
the ground, and now they are eating them up
before she has chance to pick them up
again.
think that she is afraid her mamma will
call her careless, so she is trying to chase them
away but they are not afraid of her, and stay
waiting Tor her-to drop more.

Not all of the fun of pumpkin is made
into pies. The New York Mercury tells
how a pumpkin may entertain a whole
birthday party after the pies are all taken
out.
1t ought to be a prize pumpkin and a
big one. Scoop out all the inside. Then
stuff it full of toys tied up in mysterious
looking bundles.
To each package tie bright ribbon, let
ting the loose ends fall out over the sides
of the pumpkin. Then carefully replace
the cap or the stem part, which you cut
off. SO that it will look as if it were still
whole and place it on your teatable. Sur
rounded by ferns and colored autumn
leaves and decorated with the dropping
ends of the ribbons, it will make very
pretty centerpiece.
When the feast is over set the children
to guessing how many seeds are In the
pumpkin. When all have guessed, tell
each to take hold of one OF the ribbons,
and when you say "Three!" they must
pull on the ribbons, and in that way they
will see how many seeds are in the
pumpkin. OF course each little guest Sc
cures pretty gift.
