INSURRECTION!
CALDERHEAD'S WARNING TO CONGRESS
Talks About a Threatened InSurrectiOn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS AT the last meeting
OF the house banking and currency committee,
Mr. Calderhead, of Kansas, pronounced gold
standard Republican, spoke against the bill to
incorporate the International American Bank,
with Cornelius Bliss Andrew Carnegie, P. d.
mour and ten other milionaires as incorporat-
ors, EIGHT branch banks to be established in
other countries.
Among other things, Mr.. Caderhead said:
"l'he whole United States is in condition
of unrest The under half of the country be-
lieves that it is injured, and injured largely by
the power of aggregated wealth. They actual
ly believe it. They believe il to such an eX-
tent that large areas of the country need
nothing but leader of ability to give us an
instruction. This is the truth, and that is the
political storm that will follow any attempt,
direct or indirect, to incorporate the men named
here into a private bank, with capital OF mil
lions Of dollars, aud the plea that it IS done tor
the benefit of International commerce will not
answer that mob-for it is a mob-which only
needs a commanding general to lead it.
eff The leader should happen to have the
military instinct, it would mean civil war
This speech was taken as a warning to the
East, and was narveled at the more because OF
the speakers politics, and there was sensa-
ton in the committee room

Plant Only the Best Seed.

1t costs no more to sow good seeds than it
does to SOW old and worthless stock How
foolish is the person who fails to get the best
to start with. No doubt you rave often thought
of this when your garden has not done very
we'll. Will you jog along in the same old way
this year, or use little forethought, and send
to James Vicks Sons, Rochester, N. Y, for
their catalogue, which contains list of all
that's new and good. Their seeds are always
reliable-sure to grow and never disappoint.
Send 10 cents for catalogue, and deduct this
amount from first order. Really cost nothing.

Heaven have mercy OIL nation,
or age, that worships Mammon instead of the
living God, whose law is: "Thou shalt not
covet. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not
steal" Who CAN tell what the harvest will
be? We are sure of one thing: "As we sow,
the same shall we reap" This is the law,
from which there is escape; and Ii is just
and righteous. But genuine humanity, as we'll
as self.interest, should lead those who see the
danger ahead to sound the alarm and point out
the danger. But men SC love ease, SO cling to
old time ideas and leaders. that true friend is
seldom recogniz, until he has suffered martyr
dom. Such were the times when the "Carpen-
ter's Som went about doing good and teaching
by precept and example that men should love
one another, IDEAL Justly and love mercy"
For this, the oppressors of mankind hung Him
ON a cross and crowned Him with ihorns. Bat,
in due time, 'not one stone was left on top of
another of the proud temple where they had
sacrificed to "an unknown Cod" So will his
tory repeat itself by destroying the arrogant
oppressor and his cowardly victim together.
There is but one way of escape: Repentance
"Cease to do evil learn to do WE'LL" There
is much of practical Christianity (I say nothing
of church creeds) in a sound political econo-
nv. This is the "way of salvation" for the
world, 10th individually and collectively.
Nav YOU live to realize your high, humane,
patriotic ideals is the wish of your fellow

HARDEST ANIMALS TO KILL.

It would seem as if something of the great mystery of life might be learn ed from some of the lower animals in which the elusive principle of vi- tality is so firmly fixed that it is near ly impossible to kill them. Among such animals none is more remark able than the Nile monitor, an enor- nous lizard, which gets it's name from it's habit of whistling upon the ap- proach of crocodile, and thus warn ing men of their danger.
 A singularly fine specimen of this lizard has just been added to the Lon don Zoo. In connection with it's tram sference to the Zoo, distinguished naturalist who had studied the moni- tor in Africa made report upon its extraordinary vitality The report shows the observer to be gifted more iberally with patience than with sen sibility; however, the cruelty of scien- tific men is an old subject
 Having caught one of the species by the neck so that she could not bite me-" says this scientist, ''I got a large worsted needle and gave her sev- eral punctures with it, not only in the heart, but in every part of the cranium which was in contact with the brain This, however, was so far from ans wering my purpose, which was to kill her in the most speedy and least pain full manner, without mangling or mu- tilating her, that she seemed to have still enough life to be able to run away.
 After this, my host undertook to put an end to her, and having given her several hard squeezes about the chest, and tied her feet together, hung her up by the neck in a moose, which he drew as tight as he possibly could
 From this position she was found, in a space of forty-eight hours, to have eXtricated herself"
 1t would seem that a creature which had made so good a fight deserved to live, but the naturalist thought other wise. He tied the beast and inn mersed it in jar of alcohol A quar- ter of an hour later the lizard was still alive, but it finally succumbed. . The monitor is the next reptile in Isize to it's enemy, the crocodile, some times attaining a length of six feet.- Chicago Inter-Ocean.

 Gh in Bloom.

Charles StOrer, artist and collector of orchids, has on exhibition a rare plant of that family, now in bloom Many students of botany and lovers of flow CTS have already seen the curiosity, which is growing in E. J. Collamore's conservatories on Jackson street
 A slender spike shoots up from a bulb to the height of four feet. Upon it, near the top, are twenty-two buds. Six of these have already lowered. The first one opened two weeks ago. Like all members of that famous fam fly this orchid blossom has about it a wonderful delicacy. It is of alabastar whiteness, and looks something like a half-open Easter egg of wax, made with infinite pains and a genius's skill. Within, carefully guarded by a ltWer petal, curving gracefully before it, lies a dove resting in it's retreat. The body is snowy white, but the wings are touched near the tips with f1ecks of pink. The head droops slightly, and the bill, tipped with the softest shade of yellow, can be seen distinctly, almost touching the soft, dOwny breast.
 The plant grows in the marshes of the Isthmus of Panama, where it is found clinging to decayed trees and hiding in the crevices in the rocks. The Spanish discoverers and early set tiers, whose devotion to the Catholic faith inspired them in all their con quests and hardships, saw in this beautiful flower a divine workmanship and called it ''F'lor del Esperitu San to- or 'The Flower of the Holy l Ghost" It is not strange that they | thought this flower of heavenly ori- | gin, for among all the families of plants, it is one of the most beautiful
 Clergymen, especially, show their in terest in the plant, and many have al- ready visited the green houses.
 The buds begin to bloom at the bot tom Of the group and one by'one work their way to the top. Each blossom retains it's beauty for five or six weeks and the plant is continually in bloom for about three months, July, August and September, usually. The blos- sons when cut from the spike will last in all their freshness for two weeks. l Besides the great difficulty in making the conditions right for the proper | growth of these fair strangers, there is another reason why these plants l are so valuable. It is impossible to | increase their number by propagation. The. only method is that of division of | bulbs.-Providence Journal.

FIRST GOLD IN ALASKA.
Natives Used it to Ransom Captive
 Friends.

Captain Harry Meiggs, U. s. A., (re- tired) who is said to be a relative of the man who built Meiggs wharf, San Francisco, away back in the fifties, tells wonderful tale of the discovery of gold in Alaska in the latter part of the sixties. He was on duty in that country at that time at point near Juneau, and says that even in those early days great humps of gold were exhibited by the natives.
 Often natives from the interior would come down wearing necklaces made of nuggets picked up from the creeks in the interior" he said the other day. "At one time there was tribe which has been conquered by Some of the conquered tribe came over the Chilkat pass with certain amount of gold, which on being weighed was found to be short of the price demanded by the hostages while the remainder of the tribe was di- rected to cross the mountains and procure a sum sufficient to liberate the others. They were gone several months, and when they came back an amount more than needed to pay tf rauu was brought in. No one Wuld d Et ain-.whence the money came, but from the direction in which they went and the length of time oc- cupied in making the trip it was be- ieved that they went many miles in- land

SOLD HIS WIFE FOR $50.
A Prisoners Defence When Arraigned
 For Theft.

New York, Sept. 9.-A gold watch and chain valued at $50, which Jacob Sehreck of l20 Cannon street asserts he received as consideration for his relinquishing all title and claim to his wife, whom he married five years ago, were the agency that finally caused the arrest of the three alleged participants in a queer matrimonial transaction, the story of which was told yesterday in the Essex Market court.
 Last Friday night David Sachs, g years old, of 127 East Third street. went to the EIdridge street station and confdN to Detective Morris Co., hen that on Feb. 10 he had been rob bed by Schreck. He said that Schreck had gained admittance to his room at Bayard street during his absence and stolen his watch and chain from a bureau drawer.
 Sachs pointed out Schreck to the detective in Grand street, and Schreck was arrested and locked up. Shortly arterward he called the detective to his cell, and said that he was willing to make a clean breast of everything. He acknowledged receiving the prop 6rUy rom SdcnS, d0u Cnon gave une particulars of an alleged bargain. He said that Sachs told him that he liked Mrs. Schreck, who is about 30 years old, and wanted to know how much he wanted for her. The gold watch and chain were finally agreed upon as a proper price. The woman was pres ent during the negotiations, accsrd- ing to Schreck's story, and on the promise of receiving a diamond ring for herself she consented to the bar gain.
 She then kissed her husband good by and told him shC hoped he would get another wife who would be as val uable to him as she had been. Mrs Schreck and Sachs then went to the city hall and were married by an al derman. The marriage was perform ed about ten months ago.
 When Schreck was arraigned in the Essex Market court yesterday on a charge of grand larceny, Sachs was present in court to press the complaint Detective Cohen immediately placed him under arrest on charge of big amy. Schreck laughed out loud when Sachs was placed in the pen beside him.
 Schreck told his story to Magistrate Kudlich, who issued warrant for the arrest of the woman. Detective Cohen arrested her shortly after noon

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH

Ralifoads Short of Freight Cars l Equipment Companies Cannot Sun.
 ply the Demands on Them-Great In
 crease of Earnings.
 Atlanta, Ga, Sept 1.-The remarka.
 ble boom in business has created ca,
 famine on the southern railroads. That
 this car famine, the famine that means
 golden harvests to so many. is not con-
 nhed 10 the west is shown by facts
 furnished by E. c. Spalding, general
 manager or several large equipment
 companies which own more than F, 900 freight cars. These cars are leased to railroads east of the Mississippi river, covering almost the entire territory from New England to the Gulf. About three months ago 5000 of these 12.0OO freight cars were side tracked for lack Of business and about two months ago roads all over the country began to send to MT. Spalding for equipment Every car which his concern controls is now in active service, and he is not only running two shops in Atlanta to put old cars in good condition. but has been compelled to make contracts with the other works to assist in putting cars in shape for active service. He said to-day that he could lease to ad vantage 12,000 additional cars If he had them, without any trouble, The eouin- ment business is a good index on the general condition of the country. as roads do not call upon outside com panies for cars unless they are sorelv pressed for want of equipment.
 MT. Spalding received a telegram a few days ago from railroad south of the Ohio river advising that they were short 800 cars per day for loading. Every road in the southern states is short of cars. MT. Spalding says that the present demand for cars is greater than it has been for any period in inc past five years, and it is increasing daily.
 Another evidence of returning pros- perity In the south is the large increase of railroad earnings during the first six months of the year. The southern railroads, as a group, lead all the rest in this improvemnt From January to June 30, 1897, the earnings of inc forty leading railroads in the south in creased $1, 4S9, 106, or 11.71 per cent. over the earnings of the same roads for tba first six months of 1S96 Of the nina- teen railroads in the United States which made the heaviest increase of earnings, ten are in the south. Tba increases on the forty southern lines from which reports are printed rangn from s646, ,149 to 102,2O0
 The report of the Georgia and Ala oama is especially noticeable, the in | ,rease for this company being S153 411 | Or the half year.
