HILL is FOR HARMONY.
The New York ex-senator Wants Democrats
Get Together Again.
New YORK Nav 1S-EX-SenatOr

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Ex-Senator
David B. Eill said yesterday:
The discord in the democratic party is like
row between man and wife in which argument
only intensifies and widens the breach. The
gold standard democrats must be brought
back into the party by all means They
should be welcomed back, whether they are
regarded in the light of returning prodigalS
new converts. Cancellation and amity
necessary. Do you believe that the
d. 900 votes cast for Palmer in this state repre-
sented the gold democracy? No, indeed At
least 100, 900 other democrats stayed away from
the polls or voted for Mckinley. The demo-
cratic party in New York is strong, but it cannot
stand the loss of 1i2 900 voters They must be got
back. Some common ground must be found,
and am hopeful that the needed issue will ap
pear at the right time. Judging from what ex-
President Cleveland said at the Reform club
dinner, he is still for war and disSenSion do
not agree with Mr.. Cleveland this point.
This is not country that tolerateS feudS.
Nothing is SO disastrous to the health of a great
party as for one man to become imbued with
the idea that his party must punish his per-
Sonal enemies.

Il know it,"

voice was sweet, low and Unconditional.
There was no suggestion in it of unfem-

not heard the voice of a gentlewoman
for many, many months, was pleased

Il only trust you may never learn to

Then he mounted her and put the

many, many months.
When he, too, was mounted, he raised

But Miss Cham berlain had no mind

Lovat hesitated.

"Ohl if you don't want to, you

She was always gentle.

Wouldn't he? Why?"
Lovat looked at her searchingly. He
suspected guile behind such unnatural
innocence, but the sweet questioning
of her saint-like face treasured him.
He did not answer, but turned and rode
with her. They talked of many things,

Farm Export Bounties.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-A number Of
silver republican members of the senate
and house met at Senator Pettigrew's
house last night and decided to
support a proposition providing
for an export bounty on agricul-
tura1 products. They take the
position that by this system only
can the farmer secure benefit to COM
pensate him for import duties on other
articles and Will support a proposition
for an amendment to the tariff bill
providing for the bounties.

terested motives. Mankind at th. club
assemblies and meets together to jeer
at him; his brother laughs him to
scorn; the women mistrust him. Only
many years can set him right with
them-and man does not like to wait.
When he reforms, he wants to do it at
once. He has no fancy of wearing the
stained garb of sin until the sun of vir-
tue shall bleach it white. He would
don Immediately the snowy robe and
he made welcome among the elect.
Which may not be. If you mean to re-
form, you must go away.
Lovat grew sick of the life he had
led for ten years-ever since he had been
n pretty boy of Is, who should have been
learning useful things. 1t had not been
such u very bad life, but it certainly had
not been a good one. He tried to do
right at home, and failed. Then he
came to the states
Now the states-if you except, per-
haps, New York-is a place where there
nre neither towns nor temptations. Over
all its broad prairies, where sleek steers
browse and gentle coursers stray, there
hangs atmosphere of soft pastoral
virtue. There is also in the human heart
q true, natural goodness learned from
the unspo1led savage. There is no tit
tle-tattle, and a man is what he is, not
what he has been. They know this in
England, just as we in the states know
that there is one fair-sized town in
Australia, and that all the rest is
bush
Lovat knew it, and he also knew that
it was most true of Montana That he
was aware of the existence of Montana
shows that his youth was not alto
gether wasted. His family had some
land there. OF this family it must be
said that nothing in England is better
or older. Lovat is name of such luS-
ter that no bearer of it, whatever his
misbehaviors, could tarnish it. 1t is
also a rich family-very rich. Wilton
Lovat was the younger son, but he had
u decent fortune of his own. Therefore
he could do pretty much as he pleased,
and when he quarreled with his father
and his allowance was stopped, he didn't
care. His father argued with him per-
suasively: why, if you want to re-
form, can't you stay here and do it"
Because chap can't in his own
town.
lie can, if he's any character"
No, he can't.
Il say he can. What do you suppose
did?' His voice subsidized as he con-
templated himself in the pleasant light

You didn't reform. You only mar
ried."
Which happened to be so true that
Lovat, Sr., was unable to reply, save in
the not uncommon parental fashion of
answering the unanswerable, known to
childhood as getting even" He cut OFT
the allowance, but graciously permitted
his ungrateful son to dwell upon the

There has been some agitation recently
over the city's purchasing the water
works. This arose from the fact that
every six years the city has that privilege
f it cares TO avail itself of it.
Mayor Cox was seen about the matter
yesterday, and he stated that there was
not the remotest chance Of such thing
happening. The city doesn't want it al
the price, he said. IF the city wants a
water works, 1t can build one for $3.50, 600
equally as good as the one now offered
Tor s250,000. The city if it purchased the
plant now would have TO issue bonds Of
course, and at the present time there are
enough bonds already upon the hands of
the city. The present plant does not have
70 be purchased in order for the city 20
have her own water supply. Any other
company if they desire can come in here
and construct another water works in op-
position to the one already here, and if
the city chooses, it can build another
works of its own much cheaper than it
can purchase this one
We'll, what is the proposition of the
promoters Of the project?"
"Oh, I'll tell you this agitation comes
up every time the city has chance 10
purchase the plant and il is not TO be won
dered at at all. but there is not the re-
motest chance Of the city doing anything
toward purchasing the pant a. this
time"

A FEARFUL CUT
Which Remark Applies to Prices as Well
as Hair.

While the union men OF various trades
and callings have been endeaToring to
hold up prices, with laudable American
Zest, the continual circle Of hard times
has compelled many men to resort to the
iirest subterfuges TO obtain livelihood.
The most conspicuous example Of this is
seen at Jos South Lawrence avenue,
where VIII Gwynn has a large sign out:
"A shave and hair cut for 10 cents This
IS simply ridiculous, yet he viii doubtless
receive many nickels for his lathering
efforts. There. is a limit to all things, it
Is said. and if this isn't the limit in ton
serial art. where is it to be found?

Way just as the AK Comes Down and is
Severely Cut.
Quite serious accident occurred yes
terday 10 NJ. Alber, Basley. of the West
Side, who came near losing his hand or
at least few fingers He had gone out
into the country some ten or twelve miles
10 the residence Of his brother, and while
out there offered 20 assist in cutting a
little wood He is an old woodsman and
with his nephew went out 10 where the
work was to be done. After Telling a tree
and removing the limbs. they Sc: 20 work
upon the main trunk which was soon Gu;
into lengths. and in an endeavor 10 split
one OF these the accident occurred.
In splitting log without the use OF
wedge each choperp stands facing the
other, each cutting down into the log in
turn, following the crack along from the
top. In doing this Mr.. Bosley made
stroke which sunk the axe in so tightly
that it could not be withdrawn. The han
die Jay very close 10 the log, and he STEP
ped aside 10 give his nephew a chance TO
widen the crack already made. which he
did. Finally Mr.. Bosley stepped forward
thinking his nephew had stopped. intend
ing TO pull out his axe. He laid his hand
upon the log over the crack just as The
axe came spinning down. His nephew did
not see him step forward when ne did,
and he struck another lick, aiming it at
the crack just beside the axe handle.
The axe went just where directed, but
the hand appeared just before the axe
fell, and the result was a very severely
cut member.
The cut luckily fell in such a manner
that no bones were cut. All the flesh was
cut from one side Of the first finger and
thumb which was directly beneath it,and
TWO long strips of quivering muscle and
skin were left hanging from the hand.
Mr.. Bosley did not faint or fall over,
bur with true grit walked back 10 the
house, where his brother, with his as
sistance placed the severed flesh in its
natural position and, using a shingle for
splin:s, tied the wounded member up in
as rigid a position as possible, after which
ne returned to the city.
Ii is thought that the flesh vii soon
heal together again. as the axe was very
sharp and made a smooth. clean cut with
out bruising or managing it. The acct
dent will lay Mr.. Bosley up for some
time
