Sheridan'S Gratitude.

Sheridan once had occasion to call at
hairdresser's TO order a wig. On be-
ing measured. the barber, VINO was a
liberal soul. invited the orator TO take
some refreshment in an inner room.
Here he RECALLED him with a bottle Of
port and showed so much hospitality
that Sheridan's heart was touched.
When they rose from the table and
were about separating, the latter. look
ing the barber full in the face, said:
'On rejecting, l don't think that you
shall make my wig" Astonished and
with blank visage, the other exclaim-
ed: Good heavens, Mr.. Sheridan!
How can I have displeased you?"
Why look YOU" said Sheridan. YOU
are an honest fellow. and ! repeat it.
You shan't make my wig, tor never
intended to pay for it. I'll so to an
other less worthy son of the craft"

ton of brine, which is continuously
pumped through the pipes and then
cooled in turn by the ammonia evap-
orators in some other parts of the
building. This country has been slow in
introducing this form of amusement,
the first of the artificial ice Kinks being
built in England twenty-five years ago.
One of the Paris Kinks, circular in form,
IS 40 feet in diameter on its ice sur
face, and outside of these are raised
seats for spectators, so that the whole
looks like a huge hippodrome
Artificial refrigeration has likewise
had an immense extension in recent
years, in the production of cold in
breweries abattoirs, markets and espe-
cially cold storage houses. Very often
no ice is made by these machines, as
the cooling required can be accom-
plished more conveniently by circu-
lating cold brine or cold fresh water
in pipes where needed. 1t is probable
that the growth of the cold storage
system has added millions of dollars in
value to meats and other perishable
provisions, which are now kept for
months, and could be kept for years,
without spelling. On board ocean
steamers, refrigerating machines are
employed, both for the cold storage of
dressed meats and other provisions,
and also to prevent wild cattle. trans
ported through tropical regions. from
dying of the heat IN their confined
quarters. Individual ce-makinS plants
are also coming into general use, and
the new hotels and other large estab-
Gshments almost invariably make their
own ice. The largest refrigerator ma
chine yet built has a capacity of 500
tons of solid ice per day. but there
seems no reason why, with the intro
duction of the new quick process ma
chine. this capacity should not be i'm
mensely increased.

The Rival Debaters.

Eds. Record Union" In recent is
sue of your paper my attention was
called to an article purporting to come
from a correspondent of Elk Grove in
which he takes occasion to severely
criticise the manner in which the Oak
Park boys debated in their contest with
the Webster Debating Society of South
Florin last Saturday evening, and in
cidentally to throw a few bouquets at
the latter club.
Now, l quite agree with the selfap
pointed critic that "a debate is a pre-
sentation of points well sustained" But
l do take exception to the statement
that the Oak Park boys endeavored by
making spread eagle Fourth of July
orations" and the use of all the very
large and scientific words in Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary and an unus-
ually large amount of synonyms
and .'unintelligible phrases to cloud the
minds of the country folks"
If the minds of the country folks"
We're clouded we are very sorry indeed,
but it must be borne in mind that we
talked to the judges and not to the au-
dience, which. by the way. We're men
whose integrity, intelligence and up
rightness is unqueStionable and above
reproach, and these same judges saw
fit to render a decision in favor of Oak
Park, our self-aDpointed critic TO the
contrary Notwithstanding.
We sincerely hope that at no distant
day we may have the pleasure of meet
ing the Joaquin Debating Society in
joint debate TO talk on one of the lead
ing social or economic questions of the
day. at which We will endeavor to
purge ourselves of the charges above
referred TO and try to elucidate facts so
as not to shroud them in obscurity by
the use of large Words etc, to cloud
the mind" etc.
If this debate does take place we wish
il understood. however, that we do not
intend to deviate from the path we
have trodden in the past as ii seems to
lead TO victory, but if the same speak
ers are objected to on these grounds I
viii state that we have a junior class
that we will guarantee will say what
they have to say in monosyllabic words
which neither our worthy critic nor
anyone else would experience any trou-
BILE in understanding, and | think that
if our friend viii agree to act as critic
that evening l am sure none of our
members would object, provided he
made his report with as much candor
as he does through the daily press.

AMERICANS IN CUBA.

Tt is said that the reports in the
possession of the Senate Committee
show that hundreds of American clt-
zens are starving in Cuba-men, Wom-
en- and children, and that very many OF
them have not sufficient clothing TO
cover their nakedness. 1t is added tnat
a deplorable condition exists outside Oh
Havana among all classes OF people,
due to Weyler's brutal order drlv-
ing all the -combatants into the
towns and cities. Even in Havana we
are told that there is very much OF SUI
fering, and that business men Oh that
city are appealing to the President OF
the United States to intervene anu
command that Weyler's brutality shaii
cease and that the restrictions upon
trade and exchange of products shaii
be removed that the tiller OF the SOIL
NAV produce, and the people be saved
from starvation.
There is doubtless great suffering IN
the island Newspaper correspond
ents may have exaggerated it, but IL
80 per cent. allowance is made for that,
there is still enough of woe to excite
the liveliest sympathies Of any humane
people. So far as the suffer1nSs OF
Americans are concerned, they should
have heed by our Government at
once Ships should be sent to those
who wish to come away, and succof
should be given to those who cannot De
removed They went to CUBA IN time
of peace under treaty obligations ana
guarantees to make living and support
their families OF these rights Wey-
Ter has stripped them by his brutal
DEGREES. The settlement for all that
will come later, but for the present
Americans in Cuba should have our
immediate attention.
If the Government has not the power
to relieve them, notwithstanding II
dipped its hand into the treasury to
aid the sufferers by the floods in the
Mississippi Valley, then the people
should be called upon to respond from
their private purses, and that they will
hesitate none can for a moment be-
lieve. That American citizens in Cuba,
the victime of Weyler's infamous or
der driving the people from labor and
production, should suffer for food and
medicines and common care, is too
monstrous to be permitted for a day.
If the Government does not act at
once, let some one start the ball roll
ing along the plane of common char
ity and humanity, and the world take
note Of the splendid responses that will
be made

GREELEY'S WRITING
Pretty Tough Story About the Eccen-

There was only one printer who could
read Greeley's writing we'll enough to
put it in type. He used to boast that
he could read the great editors Won

Journal of Education
One night the boys in the Tribune"
composing room put. up job" on the
old man. They took two rOosters,
made them walk around on a newly
linked form and then run all over ten
sheets of copy paper.
The foreman wrote over it in Gree
leys well-known scrawl, THE Plain
Duty of Congress- and put it on old
was Lawton, but if it was not it does
not matter much.
The old printer picked it up, swore a
little, remarked that they had 10 shove
the stuff on the old man as usual. ad-
Justed his spectacles and began stick
ing type.
The other printers watched him for a
few minutes, but beyond a muttered
oath or two he gave no sign. Lawton
went on setting type until about half
way through the copy"
Then he was stuck
He took the copy over to the foreman
and asked:
Jack what is that word"
Il don't know" replied the foreman
You know 1 never could read the
stuff
LaWton took the sheet down to Gree
ley and pointed out to him a particular
awful scrawl of the ROSTERS foot, ask
ing what word that was.
Greeley looked at it a moment and
replied, with a frown:
UNCONSTITUTIONAL of course"
Lawton went back to the composing
room and finished his task with the
utmost sang froid
The old man never knew how the

To an Journal CORE
spOndent, Chairman Dingley of the
House Ways and Means Committee
has said in substance that his tariff
bill contemplates providing revenue
enough to run the Government, and
surplus large enough to enable the
Government to redeem and hoard the
paper money of the country. In other
words the people are to be taxed

Legislation which operated in convert
ing over 81 600. 000 900 of floating debt
and greenbacks into interest bearing
bonds during the years 1861, 1868 and
