WOULD FINE THE UMPIRE.

President Robson, OF the Cleveland Rase-
ball Team, Has Scheme for Enforcing
Discipline.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov 5.-President
Robson will propose a new scheme at
the coming annual meeting of the Ma
tional Baseball league. 1t is that the
fining of players by the umpires be
done away with, and that the umpire
be fined $50 for every case in which
he failes to enforce the rules. Every
time a player breaks a rule, espe-
cially those regarding personal con-
duct toward the umpire, the umpire
must put him out of the game. When
enough players are put out of the
game to make it impossible to pro-
coed, the game must be stopped and
the admission money returned to the
spectators and made good to the man
agement out of the salaries of the
plaV~rS,

HE FEARS A RAID.
Con. Miles Tells Why He WOuld Have A
Sub Treaaurlea Fortified,

Sub-Treasurlea Fortified.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Gen. Nelson
A. Miles was asked last night to give
his reasons for recommending the for
titication Of the new federal building
in Chicago with Calling guns. He
said:
There are nine places in this country where
the treasury chests OF Uncle Sam aro located
and for the past 20 years / have urged the me-
cessity OF protecting these repositories with
the most approved pattern Of firearms. While
was In Constantinope the details OF an at
tack upon Turkish bank were related TO me
and brought back to me the necessity for some
means for defense Of the public institutions Of
the United States Calling guns could be
placed where they would be available at q mo-
ment's notice
Gen. Miles did rot believe there is
any necessity for fortifying post Office
buildings or other federal structures,
except those in which are large sums
of government moEey. He thinks that
in each city where there are sub-treas-
uries detail of regular troops should
be maintained.

BACK VIEW or BUFF COCHIN COCK

factory to the breeder The head and
neck of Dark Brahma male are sim
liar to those of the light, the head be-
ing white, and the hackle rather more
striped. The back is nearly white, a
little black appearing here and there.
The black should predominant between
the shoulders, but is nearly hidden by
the hackle flowing over it. The saddle
feathers are, like the hackle, slvery
white, striped with black, which should
be distinct. AS the feathers approach
the tail the stripes become broader till
they merge into the tail coverts, which
are rich, glossy green black, with a
margin or lacing of white. The tail is
pure black, with green gloss.
The color of females Is white
ground, closely penciled with dark steel
gray, producing beautiful effect,
frosted or silver gray in appearance.
There should be no show of pure white
in the plumage except in the margin Of
the hackles.
For practical purposes the Dark
Brahma is not to be as highly com
mended as the light, The standard
weight of Light Brahma cocks is 10
pounds; hens, 0R pounds; cockerels, 10
pounds, and pullets, pounds. The
standard weight of Dark Brahma cocks
is II pounds; hens, 81 pounds; cock
erels, 0 pounds, and pullets, Z pounds.
COchinS.
The four Cochin classes are very
popular with breeders. They are Sec
ond to the Brahma classes in the meat
breeds, weighing but a pound lighter
than the Light Brahma. Old and eX-
perienced breeders of Cochins are pro-
nounced in praise of their qualities as
profitable fowls, they being hardy,
good winter layers of rich, brown,

Langshans are the smallest and most
active of the Asiatic class. They are
practical fowl in more senses than one,
and their prolific laying and excellent
qualities make them profitable fowl
for the farmer and market poultryman,
They are one of the Oldest varieties of
poultry and have always been held in
popular esteem. The shape of Lang
shans is distinct from that of the
Brahma or Cochin, and should not be
confused with either of the last-named
varieties. Langshans have white flesh
and dark legs, while the others are yell
low skinned and yellow legged. The
quality of the flesh of the Langshan is
excellent, being fine grained, tender,
and nicely favored. AS layers they
rank among the best, averaging from
10 to 10 dozen year, and as winter lay
ers they are recommended. The chicks
are hardy and mature early. Lang
shans are good sitters and mothers, be-
ing of gentle disposition; they are
easily kept in confinement or on free
range. Being excellent forages, they
are ideal fowls for the farm, and will
gather during the year a considerable
proportion of their food.
The Langshan is stylish, medium
sized bird, not overgrown or gawky in
appearance, of attractive nature and
lively disposition.
There are two varieties of Lang
shans-the black and the white. The
black in plumage of neck, back, saddle,
sickles, a glossy metallic black, with
greenish sheen; breast, primaries,
secondaries, tail, fluff, shank and toe
feathers, black. The undercolor is
black or dark slate. The White Lang
shan is pure white throughout.
The standard weight of cocks for
both varieties is 10 pounds; hens, Z
pounds; cockerels, pounds; and pull
let's pounds.
LeghOrns.
Leghorns are the besI known Of the
egg-producing varieties or Mediter-
ranean class. They are the premierS in
laying and the standard by which the
prolificacy of the other breeds is
Judged. OF the origin of the Leghorn
fowl there are differences of opinion,
and there is but little information to
be found anywhere concerning their

yet difficult fowl to breed, and In
plumage is much after the pattern OF
the Dark Brahma, the color being red
and brown, instead of the steel-gray Of
the latter. The head of male in
color is bright red; hackle, bright red
or orange red, with a distinct black
stripe down the center Of each feather;
saddle feathers same as hnckle; breast
and body rich deep black; wing bows,
red; primaries, black on inside web,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1897-11-11

for this reason the more practical fowl
for the farmer, or those who keep poul-
try for market. The buff Wyandotte is
in color rich, deep, clear buff, uniform
in shade throughout, except the tail,
which is of deeper buff or copperish-
bronze color. The blacks are of rich,
glossy black, with greenish sheen, eX-
cepting breast primaries, secondares,
tail and fluff, which are pure black
The standard weight of cocks is Sh
pounds; hens, Oh pounds; cockerels,
~ pounds; pullets, 5h pounds.
Jnvns.
This variety is the oldest of the
American class, and at one time was
considered the most profitable Of all
breeds. At present they are not raised
extensively, the more modern or newer
breeds having seemingly supplanted
their favoritism. There Is no reason
why this should be so, us they are prac-
teal and good general-purpose fowls.
In size they are about like the Plymouth
Rocks, but differ in general symmetry
and appearance. They are good lay
ers, and do we'll in winter, and for table
purposes they make nice eating, They
mature early, are good sitters and moth
ers, and are easily kept in confine-
ment.
There are three varieties of Javas-
black, notified and white. The stand
ard weight of cocks is O1s pounds;
hens, ~ pounds; cockerels, s pounds,
and pullets 6h pounds.

industry, of the department of agri-
culture, voluminous bulletin has been
prepared showing the standard vari-
cites of chickens. The collation. and
elaboration of the work deyolyed upon
George e. Howard, secretary of the Ma
tional Poultry and Pigeon association
Gentlemen Of experience in agricultural
affairs say that this work is above
criticism, and that IL covers every va
riety of chickens known to the scientific
students of farming and its concoml-
tant industries.
There are 81 standard varieties OF
chickens; and numberlcss variety OF
promiscuous breeding, There are four
general classes of chickens; the Ameri-
can class, the Asiatic class, the Mediter-
ranean class and the ornamental class.
Prof. Howard gives considerable atten-
ton to
The Plymouth Rock,
which, he says, is regarded as the most
popular of all varieties, as n general
purpose fowl, 1t is Of medium size, OF
hardy growth, and has good laying
qualities. 1t Is believed to be the best of
all practical fowls for the farm. The
Barred fowl is the best known variety
of the Plymouth Rocks, and it has his
tory dating back to more than a quar-
ter of a century. 1t is generally under
stood that the Barred fowl came from

American Dominique. 1t is also n mat

Quick Work on the Dingley Bill.

The quick work done by congress on the
Dingley tariff is hardly appreciated as il
should be. Congress was called together in
extraordinary session on March Is. In four
months and nine days the bill had passed
both the United States Senate and the House
of Representatives, was acted upon in con-
ference, finally passed by the Senate. and
was signed by the President. This covered
period OF 131 days. In 1890 the McKin-
ley bill, reported on April 10, passed the
House on May 81, but was delayed in the
Senate till September, and again still further
delayed In conference, not being signed by
the President till October 1, 1890 1t was
in all 16S days before congress.
When the democratic party was in con-
troll, the Mills bill dragged along in 1883
and 1889 for nearly 800 days, and then fail
ed to pass. The German Wilson bill was
reported to the House by the ways and
and reported to the Senate on February 20,
1894. 1t did not become law till August %.
1894, and was then such ''ragbag produc-
ton" Of ''perfidy and dishonor" that even
the democratic president refused to sign it.
The difference between the republicans
and democrats in enacting tariff legislation
in congress is very marked. The republi-
cans passed the Mckinley bill in 1853 days,
and the Dingley bill in 191 days, each bill
receiving the signature of the republican
president.
The democrats, on the other hand, wasted
some 800 days over the Mills bill, which
never became law, and they wasted 252
days over the German Wilson bill, which
proved to be- such an abortion that even
President Cleveland refused to sign it,

is undoubtedly world wonder and is at
tracting the attention of eminent physicians
everywhere. The grand results obtained In
numerous cases have been closely watched
by medical experts and in consequence have
awakened curiosity and admiration of its
magical workings. Dr. Hess, of Grand
Rapids, the only physician who possesses it
and employs it in his practice, is in constant
receipt of letters and personal visits from
physicians to learn, If possible, more about
the evident success. The process varied
somewhat has superseded anything hereto
fore known in the treatment of consumption.
1t arrests the disease and positive cures
have been effected upon patients that were
considered utterly hopeless.
