THE UNIVERSAL GENIUS.
That's What the Perfect Farmer should
BE In Order that the Best Re-
suits be Attained.

A farm should be nation in minia-
ture, and its practical independence
should be recogniz IA and maintained.
This is necessary in order that the re-
ward of well-directed labor may be en-
joyed. The merchant need only TO buy
judiciously and sell at profit That
is all there is to his business. The
banker lends money, discounts notes,
and buys and sells exchange. He may
be successful if he knows nothing
else. But it is different with the
farmer; his business involves null
titude of separate factors. His es-
tate is an omnium gatherum which
must be reduced TO order, and each
separate feature worked out I'M
der rules and methods appropriate to
the case. He should be jack-of-all-
trades, from tinkering q clock to runs
ming q thresher, from half-soling a
shoe to upholstering carriage. II he
must take his plow to the blacksmith
or his wagon to the wheelwright every
time something goes wrongs il he must
have ssspsalsy vheesys. 10 wAa,s

BUFFALO BILL IN TOWN.
Picturesque Parade Through
the Streets this Morning.

Buffalo Bill, with an escort of Indians,
in war paint and feathers, cowboys ana
cavalrymen node into this town this
morning, and a great sensation his cav
alcade made among the children who
focked in thousands to see the famous
Col. Cody and his procession.
OF course the Indians were the feature
of the parade, and very fierce they looked
with their plentifully bedaubed faces.
Next in the affections of the youngsters
were the cavalrymen of the United States
wko were greeted with cheers only TO be
renewed when a battery of artillery came
numbering along.
Buffalo Bill headed the procession N a
carriage drawn by a team of white
horses. Then followed a band of Sioux
Indians with troops of small boys follow
ing at their stirrups. After than the
German Cavalry, Arabs in flowing
b-eurnooses, Western girls on horseback,
Don Cossaeks, Mexican ganchos. more
Indians, and the Royal Irish Lancers, ard
the rear brought up by u. S. Artillery.
The cowboy band must not be forgotten,
nor the red coated leather lunged gentle
men in a gorgeous band wagon.
Through the principal streets wound
the parade, finally bringing up at Oakland
Park, where a performance will be he'd
this afternoon and evening.

FOURTH REGIMENT SUED.
Caterer Maresi Wants Pay for Addi-
tional Supper.

The trial of a suit instituted by Pompeo
Maresi, a New York caterer, 10 recover
81, ASS, for supplies furnished at the
Fourth Regiment Armory ball On Febru-
airy Is, 1895, was begun in the Circuit
Court yesterday afternoon. Lieutenants
John j. Broderick is named as defendant
in the suit because he was chairman OF
the Supper Committee and ordered the
slippers.
A contract was made to furnish $50 sup
pers. Maresi claims hat he was required
to serve 1880 people ON the night Of the
ball. In order to do that he was obliged
to telephone to his New York ard
Brooklyn establishments for additional
food and extra help, and for that he add
ed $780, 80 to his bill. The committee re-
fused to pay him for any extras, and of
fered him a check for the amount provid-
ed for in the contract. Maresi refused
to accept the check as full payment for
his claim, and hence his suit.
The defence is that Maresi was formally
notified that any extras he might pro-
vide would be on his own responsibility
and at his own expense. 1t is also con-
ended that the plaintiff did not furnish
any more food that was contracted for.
He simply spread out $50 suppsrs thin
enough to serve 1880 people. The case will
be continued on Monday.

MRS. MILLER SEEKS AIMS.
Strange Conduct OF a Hoboken
Woman Brought to Light.

Mrs. Miller, the divorced wife of ex-
Assemblyman Leonard of Hoboken, called
on Poormaster Barck in Hoboken yester-
day and solicited aims. The woman
tale of restitution moved the Poormaster
and he mad an investigation. From
what he learned he says that Mrs.
Leonard's appearance before him vas
prompted by a desire to place her former
husband, the ex-Assemblyman, in IN ul,-
enviable light before the public.
Leonard and the woman were married
about sixteen years ago, the result of the
union being one child, now a promising
lad living with his grandmother. Shortly
after the birth of the child, it is said that
Mrs. Leonard became afflicted with a re-
ligious mania. Mr.. Leonard found his
home life so disagreeable that he took up
his abode elsewhere, and the child was
given to the care of its grandmother.
Mr.. Leonard meanwhile contributed to
his wife's support, but did not live with
her. Mr.. eonar soon found that the
money he had contributed to the support
of his wife and child was turned over by
Mrs. Leonard to different churches, and
that she left herself and child destitute.
About three years ago Mr.. Leonard sued
and obtained a divorce. Shortly after the
decree had been granted Mrs. Leonard
married John Miller, a boarder in the
home of her mother. Mr.. Leonar clothed
and educated the boy.
A short time ago Mrs. Leonard's re-
ligious mania took a strange turn. She
left the Catholic Church and Joined the
Salvation Army. She tool her boy to the
barracks and compelled him to relate
experiences" One night Mr.. Leonard
dropped into the barracks and was an
gered to see his boy, who had been reared
a Catholic, mon the Salvationists. He
ordered the boy to leave, and there was
q stormy scene betweenNthe lawyer ard
the Army officers. The boy took sides
with his father and left the place. Mr..
Leonard then placed the boy under the
care of Father Hoffschneider of SITS.
Peter and PauIs R. c. Church. Father
Ho~ffschneider later induced Mrs. Miller
to leave the Salvationists and rejoin the
Catholic Church.
