DUBBED HIM NAPOLEON
1t Was a Democrat VINO Was TWINS
to Ridicule Mckinley.

In the lobby Of the Hurford hotel al
Canton one day sat a party of nromi-
nent politicians, one of whom bears
the distinction of having first applied
TO William Mckinley the historic name
or Napoleon. He is a tall, slender
gray-halred man, whose race i'm life
is nearly run, and who now. in the
shadow of the end, is one of the most
interesting characters of the little civ
which suddenly is of national note &C
the home of Mckinley. He has been a
resident of Canton since the early DAYS
and is known by its citizens as a Iiv-
ing encyclopedia of its progress, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Archibald McGregcr. now a tvpical
gentleman of the old school. gave Nc
hlnley the name Of Napoleon. This
was in the early history of the ex-gov-
ernors political career. At that time
McGregor was the editor of the local
democratic organ. Mckinley was a
candidate for his first congressional
term. McGregOr was q sarcastic writer
ley he took occasion to comment unon
his mannerisms. He called attention
to the seeming fact that he was fond
OF posing. The general appearance of
Mckinley then, as now, was much that
OF Napoleon, the genius in the art of
war. McGregOr recognized this. and
became imbued with the idea that Nc
klnley was given 70 emphasizing his
appearance by adopting the general de-
meanor of Napoleon. He handled Nc
KInley without gloves in the matter,
and mentioned at length the "Napoleo-
mic" manners of what he termed the
'would-be Napoleon of Stark county
politics" The shot, while striking the
mark, redounded somewhat to the ben
eft of Mckinley.
The republicans, instead of endeav-
oring to cOunteract, seized the idea as
one which would make their candidate
and declared that he was the
second Napoleon, devoid of the con-
shortcomings and possessed
OF his talents in greater fold. Nc
Gregor succeeded in modifying the
popular glamour somewhat by clubbing
Mckinley the little Napoleon, and

ing adjective, the name. with all it's

Butter in a Minute.

A wonderful dairy machine is said
to be on on exhibition in England.
Tn, machine, the invention of Herr
Salenius, a Swedish engineer. makes
butter in about a minute from steril-
lied milk direct The milk is heated
in the sterilizer Tor Pasteurine, as it is
called to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and
runs thence into the cream-skimming
chamber of the machine AS the
cream is skinned it rises into
the churning chamber, being
cooled down to so degrees in it's prog
ress by means of very small cooling
frames, through which iced water con-
stantly passes, and which revolve with
the skinner at the rate of 5000 revo-
lutions per minute. The cream is
forced into tube, perforated with tiny
holes, through which it energies with
great force on to each fresh layer of
cream that rises, converting it into
butter by conclusion. The butter thus
formed in granules energies from a
spout into a tub, mixed with butter
milk. The butter is then taken out
and passed through a butter worker,
which squeezes out most of the but
termilk remaining in it, after which it
is placed on ice for two hours, and
then worked a little more and made
up. Several advantages are claimed
for this remarkable machine, which
lids fair to create a revolution in but
ter making upon large scale. In the
first place, by pasteurizing the milk, dis
ease germs, if any are in it, are de-
stroyed, as we'll as the microbes which
cause the putrefaction of the butter.
The process of butter making is so
rapid that there is very little chance
of any germs that may exist in the at
nosphere of the dairy getting into the
butter, especially as all, or nearly all
air must be forced out of the chambers
of the machine by cheaper temporary
ice-houses can be going on inside
When the butter is once pressed the
possibility of germ fmpregnation is al
most eliminated. Thus a wholesome
and bookkeeping butter is produced.
Another advantage is that milk can
be converted INTO butter directly after
being obtained from the COW, and yet
another is that there is a considerable
saving Of labor, when the use of the
radiator is compared with that of
the ordinary separator and churn. 1t
IS asserted that this machine has been
n use for several months in butter
factories in Sweden and Finland. The
demonstration of its merits in London
created a sensation among the dairy
farmers.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

cheapness, simplicity and safety. If

most of farmers would be independent
of the large machines, and could do all
their work within themselves and

Intelligent dairymen know that the
scientists have discovered that the
flavor of butter is, in large measure,
due to germs in the cream. BY adding
to winter cream the germ of
bacillus which gives the fine
flavor and aroma to June

butter made in midwinter. Prof. Conn,
of the Connecticut Agricultural college,

STILL TALKING ON CTBA
Senators in No Hurry to Pass the
Recognition Resolutions,
MR.. HOAR's APPEAL TO SHERMAN.

lie Urges the Ohio Statesman Not to Mar
His Brilliant Public Record by Sui
oidal Interference with the Rights Of a
Friendly Power.
WAsHINGTON, March 12.-The Cuban de-
bate in the senate has advanced to the
stage of one of the greatest debates of the
American congress, and the speech yester-
day of Senator Hoar the venerable sena-
tor from Massachusetts, was another
eventful feature of the discussion. The
senators Jsld the crowded galleries were
kept at high tension by such stirring
themes as war and patriotism and liberty.
Mr. Hoar's speech was notable in setting
forth the conservative view of the subject
and urging a postponemont of action until
April 6. This developed many sharp con-
troversies with Mr.. Sherman and other
senators.
In the main the speech was a plea for
calm, dignifed and judicial action, instead
of the excitement and disorder of the mob
and the impassioned speech of orators.
Mr.. Hoar characterized his colleague, Mr..
sherman. as one Of the greatest statesmen
of the country, whose name would go
down in history along with that of Lin
coin, Grant, Seward, Fish and his illus
trious brother, and he besought the Ohio
senator not to obliterate this brilliant rec
ord by hasty and unguarded action on the
Cuban question. Mr. Hoar did not CON
fine himself to Cuba, but spoke against
/ congressional meddling in any foreign ne.
gotiaton. In this connection he paid n
| glowing tribute to Secretary Olney, and
while differing from him politically, Mr..
Hoar said the secretary of state was clear
headed, old fashioned Massachusetts,
Yankee who could be safely trusted with
our foreign negotiations. The senator
added like tribute to the sincerity OF
President Cleveland in dealing with the
Venezuelan question, and declared that
any action by congress attacking the pres
idont's course would be an attack on
America,
AR. uOar's resolution for postponement
lost its parliamentary status at o clock
and went to the calendar, Mr.. Sherman
announcing that from this time forward
he would press the privileged question

tion to the claim of Mr.. Dupont for n seat

the case against Armand Rosenthal (Jac-

taken up. The evidence showed that
Rosenthars income was about $4,000 a
year and that his debts amounted to about
$780, 900. He denied having blackmailed
Lebaudy and contended that the articles
he had written on the partiality shown the

the fact, he asserted, that as a oonscript
Lebaudy was favored because he was a
