POOR BALTIMORE!
1t Doesn't Eat Diamond Back Ter
rapin Any More.


Sad are the changes that has come over
the spirit of Baltimore's appetite, says the
Baltimore American. Almost daily ex-
posed for sale in the markets of the
town are terrapin, pleasant to look upon,
which seem the real article But what is the
truth? Simply that they are from the
fresh waters of the Western rivers, even
from Illinois, and the sellers have the hardi-
hood to declare that they are every bit as
good as the diamond-backs of the Chesapeake,
and that none but the finest expert can tell
them apart when cooked And these base
limitations from the mud fats of inland states
where gastronomy is supposed to refer to the
stars, are sold for just about one-sixth the
price of the real diamond backs.
Nor is that all. A. wild and irreverent
Westerner made bet the other day that the
average person can not find any difference be-
tween the two, and he carried out his dis
gushing trick by making the experiment with
lot Of BaltimOreanS who Dragged that they
knew terrapin-and, worst of ALL he won his
wager. OF course, Baltimoreans are supposed
to eat terrapin like Philadelphians eat scrap
pie or Bostonians eat beans, irrespective Of the
fact that terrapin cost SEQ dozen and upward
but we had fondly hoped that enough of the
epicure had been left in ouA general population
TO save US from the humiliation of seeing
common mud reptiles FROM the cheap and in
experienced West take thetplace of the great
est prize of the Chesapeake.
We notice that action is being taken to
save the terrapin industry of the bay It
is wise thing to do, if only to get $50 a
dozen from New Workers and Philadelphians
who smother the terrapin in paste, and then
fancy as they eat the stuff that they have
cultivated appetites. But this Western irrup-
tlon OF bargain counter terrapin is a miser-
able blow to our proper pride. The beef from
the rich pastures of the Virginia valley.
which was as tender as campaign smile !;
the mutton which browsed on the hills and
dales of the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies,
the veal which bleated amid Maryland grass
most of those now come from Chicago and
the sugar-cured hams that were dreams as
rlcE as OLD port get the table a few dave
after walking to their doom in the abattoir
All this we can stand, but to think of our
terrapin coming from Western rivers is
aWful-perfectly, inexpressibly awful.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 29.-The Re
publican conference, tonight, decided to
retain Plckler as their candidate for
the United States Senate, until an
emergency may demand his with
drawal. The steering committee was
empowered to act without further eau
cuSlng. The only change shown in
the vote on senator today was the gain
OF three by Kyle, the loss Of five by
PloWman and two by Loucks and a
gain of seven by Goodykoontz. These
changes are not regarded as significant.
the anti-Kyle men are freely exchang-
ing votes among themselves, trying by
various preteXtS to break down
kyles strength. All efforts in this line
have failed so far. 1t is now generally
admitted that the Kyle men will not
go to any of his rivals It is under
stood that in view of this fact Senator
PettlgreW has instructed his lieuten-
candidates, including Kyle, and concen-
trating on dark horse. Efforts have
been made in this direction for several
days, but so far without success. The
savage fight made by Gov Lee against
the senator and bitter personal attack
made by free silver Republicans have
consolidated the Kyle forces, and they
will have Kyle or no one. They de-
clare that the other candidates are
working not for the Populists or in the
interests of the Populists party, but
to deliver the Populists and Democrats
over to the free silver Republicans.

GOOD FOR SUGAR BEETS.
New Use for the Denuded Pine Lands
of Wisconsin,.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 29.-The in
FAINT beet sugar industry of Wisconsin
will speedily become one of the most
important subjects before the legis-
lature. Several bills are now pending
to encourage the growth of sugar beets
and the manufacture from them of
beet sugar. The most important Of
these measures is that introduced by
Senator McGillivray providing for a
bounty of a half-cent pound upon all
beet sugar produced.
A number of experiments have been
conducted during the past season in
Jackson, Clark and Eau Claire coun-
ties, conclusively demonstrating that
the soil of these counties from which
pine dmber has been removed within
a few years is admirably adapted to
the raising of sugar beets
A factory is being constructed at
Mennomonee Falls, at a cost Of some
100000, and will be put into operation
as soon as the new beet crop has been
harvested. There are already on hand
1000 bushels Of sugar beets for use in
this factory, and they have been found
to produce II per cent of sugar.

afternoon, thus insuring the Fitzsim-
monsCorbett fight for Nevada. Car
son and Reno are now bidding for Sc
lection as the scene of the contest.
When asked if he had ever had any
thought Of vetOing the bill the gov
ernor replied: II waited to see what
majority Of the people seemed to
want. intending to be entirely guided
by their wishes. This policy I have
pursued to the end and because the
people were in favor of the bill I
signed 1t. Of the merits in argument
made against the glove contest bill
nave nothing to say. A majority of
our citizens seemed to wish it, and I
have signed it, That is all there is
to it,
Mr.. Wheelock is in San Francisco
now, but before his departure ne re-
fused to say anything concerning the
location Of the fight if it came to this
state at ALL
1t is asserted here that Dan Stuart
will make his permanent headquarters
in Nevada, and will from time to time
arrange contests between the most
noted pugilists of the country. The
sentiment in Nevada seems to be
strongly in favor of the bill It is
calculated that the holding Of the big
tight in the Sage Brush state will bring
thousands of dollars to the Nevadans.
Carson, Reno and Virginia City, at any
one Of which places the fight may be
given, are only twelve hours ride from
San Francisco. Reno is on the main
line Of the Central Pacific, and the
other two towns are only a short dis
taEce from Reno on branch lines.
New York, Jan. 29.-Sporting men in
this city are greatly pleased over the
prospect Of the orbett-Fitzsimmons
fight being brought off in Nevada. Al
Smith, the stakeholder for the big fight,
in an interview said: "The public has
wanted to know for three years who is
the better man, and now that the thing
has been worked up to a head there
has got to be a fight. I have talked
and corresponded with both the princi-
pals, and l believe they want to come
together. The Eastern sports will be
there in bunch.''
PEARSON" Davies said: I'm glad the
bill has been passed. It's a good.
sensible movement and will be a SPLEEN
did antidote for the sickly condition
into which a good healthy sport has
fallen. Corbett and F1tsimmons will
surely meet" Billy Madden expressed
himself as satisfied that the fight
would be pulled off,

You want to know something about the

Alabama Watermelons will be as good this

put TO eat luscious melon s NOS. inter-
estlng. Never cut watermelon; it spells it.
Let 1t drop and then pick up the pieces and
eat them with your fingers. Just imagine

heart that sparkles all over with little glo5-
ules OF honey water, and when you get it in
your mouth it evaporatese and disappears,
but leaves there the sweetest taste that drives
care away and makes the whole world sun
shine. But, of course I'll admit that to cs-
tablish that feeling for any length of time
IL is necessary to eat more than one mc.un.
