The only foal at Village Farm since last re-
port is bay colt by Athanio, 2:11% dam,
Barbara dam of Fitz Royal, 2:13H Pansy,

among the best dropped this season. Bar
bara is without doubt one of the greatest
brood mares in the country"
Carleton stands this season at S15 to war

Barbara, is considered one of the best brood
mares in the country, and his sire, Mambrino

De Laval "Alpha-Baby Cream Separators
are more superior to initiating machines
than such other cream separators are to
gravity Dreaming processes. In fact eXpe-
rienced users of different separators regard
such initiating machines as of little if any
advantage over gravity Dreaming. A good
illustration of this is given in the following
letter from the South Carolina Experiment
Station, which is indirectly a most convinc-
ing tribute to the overwhelming superiority
of the De Laval machines

The Grant Demonstration.

The ceremonies in honor of Gener.
al Grant in New York were a credit
to the nation and the dead hero 1t
is true they we're too long deferred
and but for the fact that the task of
raising the funds required for the
monument was finally undertaken by
Horace Porter, a Pennsylvanian liv.
ing IN New York, the grave of the
conquerer would still lack proper
mark. But in the light of the recent
demonstration we can overlook that.
Even the fact that this great event
was made the occasion to propose
that Mount Vernon should be robbed
of the remains of Washington in ord.
er to add to the park attraction of
New York may be forgiven the city
that so magnificently honored Grants
memory.

Nothing surprising it has ever been

military representative of some kind,
all gathered to honor a great typo of
American heroism and manhood. The

FRIEND WENK;-
Sitting at my desk, this evening, while
all around me is hustle, 1 am compare
tive alone, and in spite of the fact that
some one is continually asking about
some part of the work my thoughts are
in old Pennsylvania and of the friends of
my boyhood days (Which long since have
fed, and as l call them up one bv one
many, many have passed into the great
haven of rest beyond the grave and many
have wandered away, as have done. into
strange lands. l see a notice once i'm a

miliar name, is shortly to go west. Now
friends when you are on your way, if you
should chance to go over the Missouri

river, which the railroad crosses at this
point, look out to your right and a little
ahead and you will see the u. S. Boat
yards, where hold forth, and if you can
make it convenient to stop over and see
me you will certainly be made welcome.
The Gasconade river is a capital fishing
and hunting ground. All kind of fish
abound, except our speckled trout, and
many kinds of game. such as ruffed
grouse, quail, wild turkey, deer, and in
spring and fall many geese and ducks.
as well as squirrel, rabbit foxes, etc. 1
am kept too busy to get much time to
enjoy the surrounding, but do slip away
for day or two once in a while.
My business calls me south into Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
every tall for about a month or six
weeks which gives me chance to get
away from the office. if not from work,
and gives me the recreation which other
wise would require me to take a vacation.
We usually employ from 600 to 500
men on the work here, but at the present
time, owing to the very high water for
this time of the year, we have only about
300 men at work, and hundreds of idle
men are camped around us waiting for
the work to start up again, but very lit
tie if anything will be done before some
time in July.
Please tell the boys, 1 will be glad TO
see any of them when passing this way.
Remember me to my old friends, and es-
pecially to the REPUBLICAN.
Very truly yours,

Anti'Cigarette League Meeting.

Tionesta's Anti-cigarette League, which
now has 40 mem bers, held public meet
ing in the Presbyterian church last Tues
day evening. The boys were highly en-
tertained by encouraging talks by Mrs.
Wyman, Mrs Kelly and Mrs Irwin, who
assured them that they had the support
of the w. c. It. U. in all their undertake
ings. Rev. McAninch and Rev. Bren-
nan helped the boys very much by clear
ly showing to them that they are 'on the
right side" Upon request, Mrs. Irwin
kindly consented to give the following
paper on cigarettes" TO the League for
publication:
THE DEADLY CIGARETTE
This article has become the subject for
investigation by legislators, physicians,
and writers on economy. 1t is well nam
ed deadly, as the pernicious effect of its
use is witnessed especially among tho
young and inexperienced, and its use has
filled many early graves, has taken off its
victims in the springtime of life as tobac-
co, having slain its thousands so cigar
cites have slain its ten thousands.
The effects were so alarming that in the
year 1889 Gov. Beaver sanctioned a bill
forbidding the sale of the article to per-
sons under IS years of age. An act which
is now posted up on our streets at the
present time. Bat like many other
wholesome laws, am sorry to say is not
enforced. As in many of the cities and
towns, youths with no more color in
their faces than a sheet of white paper.
and as Shakespeare says of the ghost,
with lack lustre eyes staring at vacan-
cy." So the devotees of this habit wand
er around the world lacking every ele-
ment of energy and hope, while their
breath does not in the least resemble
"The spicy breezes of Araby the blest."
As any person can notice by passing
them ON the street, or meeting them in
assemblies.
1t is said that the two most prominent
brands of cigarettes are the Sweet owen
and Caporal which are put up in dainty
boxes, and very often accompanied with
obscene cards to corrupt the minds of the
young, while the cigarette itself corrupts
their bodies, and watts them to an early
tomb. The difference in the name5 of
the two principal brands is immaterial,
they are only variations of the same poi-
son. We talk about the depravity of the
Heather Chinee using opium. They
smoke it pure and unadulterated, and in
a short time die miserable deaths. The
cigarette smoker uses it under the name
of tobacco, which is loaded with opium
and other pernicious drugs, no chemist
knows exactly what they all are, but one
thing is certain beyond controversy, that
the use shortens life and makes a wreck
of the body. Perhaps the most appro-
pirate name for the article is the latest
"codin nail"

those who die in the Lord can have.
