TO HONOR ERICSSON.
Syyedish-American Take Steps for
Erecting n Monument.

At a meeting of representative Swedish
American citizens held at Orpheus hall last
evening, preliminary steps were taken TO-
towads the erection Of monument to John
Ericsson in this city.
The meeting last evening consisted in the
main in reviewing the reasons why statue
should be erected to the memory OF thei1
iII1lstrious countryman. The historical feat
ures which have made Ericsson famous were
dwelt upon by the different speakers, and In
particular so the "cheesebox" which played
50 an important part in the rebellion. Fol
lowing the expression Of opinion a resolu
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this meet
ing that monument should be erected to thu
memory of John Ericsson, and that tn,
Swedish Americans take the initiative in +hi
movement.
It was thereupon decided that the presiden
and secretary of the meeting call the mex
meeting which will arrange for a mas
meeting. at which time the project will b
more thoroughly discussed.

The clerk Of courts spent yesterday morn

books for 1895, in company with the county
auditor. A large number of alterations were
found in them, in many cases the ink upon
the pages being SO old that it is Impossible
to tell when the alterations were made.
The descriptions affected mount up into
many thousands Of dollars in value, and the
clerk and the authorities are at a loss to
know what can be done al present. 1t was

yesterday in the middle of set between Bel

play to finish the tournafnent-Belden VS..
Carver, Hale VS.. Jayne. lThe first match

Belden was in good form and met his oppo-

favor of Belden, and the game was 800 in the
third set, with Belden serving, when Carver

so severe as to disable him for further play,
and the match was declared off. Carver was

boy besides Tom Sanderson, and that
was Moses Abraham, Tobe's son.
They were a strange pair of playfel-
lows, these two. Tom was wide
awake northern boy accustomed to the
hustle and noise of Il big city and pos
sessing what he considered a very com
plete knowledge of the world in gem
eral. Nose was as shiftless and happy
darky as could be found in the whole
south. He had never been to school,
never had care except when the hoe
cake gave out in the little cabin and he
felt iAngry. and he never had to worry
about keeping his face clean, for it was
naturally as shiny as well-polished
shoe. lie divided his time between
sleeping in the warm sun, swimming in
the warm water of the bayou, and
roaming the woods and fields. Here he
made friends with the birds and rabbits
and even tried to be on good terms with
the Shiny little alligators that crept up
on the muddy banks of the larger bayou
to sleep in the sun as Nose himself
sometimes did.
But in spite of the differences between
them, the white boy and the black got
on well together. Tom was naturally
domineering, and Nose was perfectly
satisfied to address him as "Marse
Tom," to do all the rowing when they
went out on the bayou together, and to
play that he was pack-horse or slave or
whatever Tom wished, SO long as Tom
kept him well supplied with candy and
pennies, two things entirely new and
very pleasant TO the darly boy. Nose
was a good listener, too, and always
sat with saucer eyes and open mouth
while Tom related stories of the sights
he had seen and the things he had done.
Sometimes Nose started to tell of his
own adventures, but Tom always had
something much more startling to re-
late, even If he had to draw on his
imagination for it, and Nose swallowed
all his wonderful tales, believing them
10 be perfectly true-at least, so Tom
thought. One day Nose had been tell
ing how a catfish that weighed 60
pounds had been caught in the river
close by. "Oh, that's nothing" said
Tom, as if catfish were too small for
him to bother with. "Once was out on
big whaling schooner in the ocean

STAMPS AND COLLECTORS.

An authority having been asked
which was the rarest United States en-
velope stamp. replied that the three
cent die C, 1897, on fawu, unused and
entire, is probably entitled to this dis
tiuction and would he worth nearly
$500.
y Washington man who possesses an
entire sheet of the seven-cent navy de-
partment, unused, with original gum.
asks for it the modest sum of $1,000
Why note To collectors stamps are
worth what they will bring, regard
less of their original value.
The stamp collector takes very little
interest in wars or revolutions, except
rs they affect stamp issues. The maxi
ing of peace between Greece and Tur-
key is very unpopular with collectors.
They wanted Greece to be a Turkish
province, or at least Thessa!y, so that
there woHld be new stamp issue.
Speculation In Canadian iubiees has
already begun. A Canadian firm has
sent out a circular letter offering eight
cent values at four dollars each. and the
half-cent values for ten dollars each.
AS matter of fact, the eight-cent
stamps can be had for so cents and the
half-cent stamps for $1,50 each. This
is high enough, without exaggerating it..

THE FARM AND HOME.

Two or three oyster shells thrown
upon the fire with the coal will help to
absorb any clinkers that may be gath
erng in the stove.
1t is said that polishing silverware by
rubbing it with oatmeal is good plan
1t is worth trying, for it cannot harm
and it may do good.
Where farm is within few hours
distance from market the farmer can
grow fruit or vegetables as well as
staple crops and find ready sale there
for. An acre of land devoted to small
fruits will give larger profit than can
be derived from several acres of grain.
Peaches should be put in sirup as
soon as pared and pears and ounces in
cold water to prevent discoloration.
Peaches are firmer and richer if al
lowed to remain over night in the sirup
before they are cooked. Five or six pits
should be distributed through each
quart jar.
The cows must first pay for their
board before the profit is given. If the
food eaten does not come back to the
farmer in milk and butter in sufficient
amounts to give return for the cost
Qncluding shelter and labor) the un-
profitable COWS should Zoe taken out of

Austria is growing in importance as a
market for American apples. Last sea-
son the short native crop was supple
mented by our fruit and its su-
perior quality so pleased the Aus

in good demand this year and are
menacing the prospects of the native
growers.

told about the catfish. Nose himself
did not believe that there was a fish
in the world as long as the one Tom
had described, but he only said: "Golly.
i doan want muffin to do wild dem tings,
Marse Tom" and rolled his eyes till
only the white showed.
By the next morning Tom had forgot
ten all about the whale, but Nose had
not.
Less go cat-fshin'," said he. at
amt so excitin' as shootin whales, but
! reckon we can have some fun"
Tom fell into the trap at once. "All
right" he said, get out the boat"
Nose left the big fat-bottomed boat
which the boys generally used on the
bank and showed off the smaller skiff,
into one end of which he fitted a reel.
The stout line was wound upon the
reel, the big hook was carefully baited,
and Tom took his place at one end
while Nose sat in the other, steering the
skiff with single oar.
Wen jess float down with the cur
rent" said he, "and see what ketches
u.s."
A short end from the line on the reel
was trailing in the water, and Tom
watched it carefully. Two or three
times there was little jerk at the line
and Tom started to pull it in, but each
time Nose stopped him.
"We're after catfish" said the darlly
boy; "doan mind dem little t'ings.
You'll know de real ting when you gifts
it,"
A moment later they got the real
thing" There was rush through the
water that sent shower of bubbles
to the surface. the loose end of the line
took a dive and then began whirring
off the reel at lightning speed.
"Hol' i'm, doan let i'm break dat
line" shouted Nose, as he brought the
boat sharply round to point down
stream.
Tom was sure the smoking line had
burned all the flesh from his hands as
il flew through them. but he braced his
feet, clenched his teeth, and tried his
best to hold the small sized hurricane
that had seized his hook. The reel
stopped paying out line now, but the
little boat began to move swiftly
through the water, and Tom feared that
his arm would be yanl2ed off as his
capture dashed from one side of the
