county reveal?
Enthusiasm marked the progress of
the Democratic mass meeting held in
this city on Saturday evening. Repub-
ican newspapers and politicians who
had been endeavoring to SOW seeds of
discord must have been much chagrined
to have such an emphatic public demon
stration of the futility of their efforts.
The meeting will bear good fruit, and
its effect will be especially manifest on
the next registration day, which is

General John P. Donahoe says he will
win in walk in the Fourth Represen-
tative district, despite statements to the
contrary. The old war horse is certainly
in it for keeps.
No more policemen will be made until
after next June. This is the edlct of the
Police Commissioners. The Dolanites are

AT meeting of the workers of the
party recently, Horace Greey Knowles
took the floor. He impressed upon the
husters the policy of all handle getting
together and hustfing out the vote for
the Republican State Ticket. He pointed
out to the ranchmen that he was not a
candidate and was not personally inter-
ested, but he said he wanted the vote out.
The division hustlers replied that they
had heard that "same old" before, and
that if Mckinley wanted to be vindicated
and Mark Hanna glorified thai Mckinley
should spare two seconds of his valuable
time and sign the order revoking Cleve-
lands civil service blanket order. Busi.
ness is bushes, my boy. If Mckinley
wants to be vindicated the boys want
the offices. See?

WILL CANVASS THE VOTE
The Famous Kent County Case
May be ConclusiyeIy Set
tied Today.
THE COURT Is DETERMINED
Any Members of the Board of Canvass
Refusing to Meet Will be Ar
rested For Contempt of
Court..-Trouble is
Feared.
THE COURT IS DETERMINED

The members of the last board of cam
vass of Kent county will meet in the
Levy Court room at Dover today for the
purpose for recounting and tabulating
the votes cast in the last election.
The belief has been expressed that the
board will refuse to meet and in this
case all of them will be arrested for con-
tempt OF court.
While the Republicans claim that the
canvass will not result in any advantage
to the men they say were elected, counted
out and their places filled by Democrats,
yet it will be the greatest argument, they
state, for change of government.
They contend that the recount will
show that in the last election ten n.em-
bers of the constitutional convention
were elected by the Republicans of Kent
county, of whom but five were seated.
The further contention is that seven
representatives and one state senator
were elected by the same party, none of
whom were seated; that several members
of the Levy Court were elected by the
Republican party and never seated; that
they elected sheriff and coroner, and
that they also elected J. Frank Alice of
Dover, senator in place of the bold over
senator from Kent county, s. r. Mere
dith.
The case, if no trouble ensues, which
is about to be settled has been a famous
one in the political annals of this state,
and of the original counsel but few are
left.
OF the Democratic counsel James L.
Wolcott, is dead; James H. Hughes, is
secretary of State; Richard r. Kenney, is
United States Senator and ex-Congress-
man John B. Pennington, whose two
daughters were murdered is in bad
health, leaving John D. Hawkins alone.
On the Republican side of the counsel
James Pennewell is judge of the State
courts; William T. Smithers was a men,
ber of the constitutional convention and
II. II. Ward and Walter H. Hayes, of
this city, did the most towards getting
the Superior Court to order the recount
and tabulations
The count, if it takes place, it is said
will place a Republican sheriff, coroner
and county treasurer in office for tne
month, but nothing else can be accom-
plshed.
Trouble is expected before the board of
canvass will take cognizance of the per-
emptory writ issued by the court, and
fearing this Messrs Ward and Hayes will
be present to take care of the interests of
their clients,

FOOLISH QUESTIONS.

' Raw sweet young mother with Her f1rSt-bOrn at her breast; "And what's the baby's name?'
 asked
 Of her so richly blessed. She looked at me with pity, as She proudly poised her head; We call him Dewey, sir, of course, In tender tones she said. I met dainty little girl Who led kitten by string, And as I strOked her head, I asked: What do you call the pretty thing?" She looked at me with wide blue eyes, And. as she went her way, "I call my kitten Dewey, sir [ heard her sweetly say. met curly-headed boy Who had a brindle pup; And what's your doggy's name?" I
 asked,
 As I held the creature up. He gazed at me in wonder, and He proudly cooked his head: 'I cal him Dewey, sir, of course," He pityingly said. I stopped beside a rustic sti1e. And heard g milkmaid sing song; And what's you bossy's name?" I
 asked
 The Iassie as she came along. She looked at me in mild surprise, And, as she strode away, ~Why, Dewey is her name, of course!" heard the maiden say.

THE BENEFICENT LEMON.
fFrom a Special Contributor.


 We know in a dull sort of way that lemons are use ful, and if we didn't we might easily ind this out by looking over the pa pers. But just how valuable they real ly are few of us realize. They are. of very great medicinal value, and are better than patent medicines and nos erunS put up in bottles and boxes for the benefit @ of the human family.
 A teaspoonful of lemon juice in d small cup of black coffee will drive away an attack of bilious headache, but It is better to use them freely and so avoid the attack of headache A slice of lemon rubbed on the temples and back of the neck is also good for headache These facts help in beauti- lying one, for who can be beautiful and ailing at the same time? The days are past when the delicate woman with nerves was the heroine of all the novels, and the "clinging vine" supposed to be admired by all the men.
 Lemons taken externally, or rather used, will aid in beautifying any one. There is nothing more valuable for the toilet table than solution of lemon juice, a little rubbed on the hands, face and neck at night will not only whiten, but soften the skin. A paste made of magnesia and lemon juice ap- piled to the face and hands upon lying down for a fifteen minutes rest. will bleach the skin beautifully.
 For discolored or stained finger nails, a teaspoonful of lemon juice in cup of warm soft water is invaluable; this is one of the very best manicure acids. It will loosen the cuticle from the fin ger nails, as well as remove discolora- tiOnS.
 Lemon juice in water is an excellent tooth wash. This is about the only thing that will remove tartar. It will also sweeten the breath.
 HONEY VINEGAR-No nicer or more aromatic vinegar than that made from honey for table use, and for picking, etc. Proportions: One pint, or one and one-half pounds strained honey to one gallon water (rain water is prefer able). Put in couple strips of brown paper which will act as mother. Put in jug and cover the mouth with thin cotton cloth. Stand in warm place. It will be ready for use in forty days.

HORSE NOTES.

The work horse should have plenty Of good grooming. A good rubbing when brought in from work makes his rest more helpful to him. And don't think of tying him up to stand with harness on during his midday feed.
 The tendency of the horse market is towards the distribution of horses into well defined classes and good horse of any one of the classes will bring a good price. But the monde scvript is finding it each season more difficult to find customers.
 If farmers will take as much pains to improve the size, form and action of their horses by judicious breeding, feeding and care as they have shown iE the improvement of their cattle and hogs a very great addition will be made to the horse values of the coun- try.
 Don't keep your horses shut up in q close, dark, ill-smelling stable at night just for the purpose of having them ir hand early in the morning. Have a good, small pasture convenient to the stable and let them have the run of that at night
 There is always a good demand for tig. strong draft horses, such as weigh 1,500 pounds and up, and it pays. to raise them, but in raising them one must not think he can cross with any other class and raise an animal that will meet any requirement. The draft horse blood is valuable only in draft borses.-Texas Stock Journal.

PORDEAUX MIXTURE AS AN IN
 SECTICIDE.

The irsecticidal value of Bordeaux mixture is not generally recognized.
 This insecticidal side of it's use is of course incidental to it's main feature as a fungicide, but at the same time is not inconsiderable. I have had occas- ion in the course of experimental work tO observe this from time to time. Ex- periments extending over period of three years demonstrated the fact that it acted as deterrent to codling moth. Again, if used regularly and thorough l. on apple orchards, oyster shell bark louse will cease to be a menace to the trees. l have in mind an orchard on the island of Montreal, Canada, con- posed of Snows-or Fameuse as known there-that five years ago was badly infested with oyster shell bark louse

amateurs make the mistake of hatch ing chicks by hens and then placing them in breeders with other chicks, thus doing by carelessness what they have been striving to avoid and ren- dering all their brooder chicks lousy
 Health in fowls then should be our first consideration. It matters little what the breed may be, good results cannot be obtained unless health IS looked after. One variety may lay more eggs than another, but all yarle' ties will lay eggs enough if they are kept healthy and in prime condl' Gentleman.

The owner has sprayed regularly with Bordeaux mixture since that time. with the result that his trees are now almost entirely free from this pest.
 It should not be taken for granted that Bordeaux mixture is as effective as kerosene emulsion in immediate re- suits, but in the long run it will be found to prevent at least the spread of this insect, as well as most of the fungous enemies of the apple.
 This is merely cited as an additional reason for the more general use of Bor- deaux mixture-John Craig, Cornell University.

FASTENING MATURITY IN GAR
 DEN CROPES.

Most plants, the seeds or seed-envel- ope of which form the edible portion continue in bloom and go on prOduc- ing flowers for considerable periods, SO that blossoms and mature fruit are usually found on the same plant. IT, therefore, the growing or blossom bearing stem be pruned or clipped soon after the earliest blooms appear, their maturity will be materially hastened Tomatoes, peas, pole beans, cucumbers, melons and egg plants may thus be treated, with the result of producing edible fruit from a week to ten days earlier than if the natural develop ment had been allowed to continue.
 The maturity of tomatoes may be easily hastened from one to two weeks. by selecting from full grown but green fruit. Irish potatoes are susceptible to material modification in time of ma turing by simply placing the seed pota- toes in a place exposed to the sunlight for some two weeks previous to plant ing, or until the tuber has become quite green in color, and the sprouts have we'll developed I have often found a difference of from ten to fourteen days in. the time of maturing by this treat ment. In cutting and handling the tu- bers care must be exercised that the sprouts are not injured.
 Sweet corn. which is usually sup posed to be beyond artificial means Of control as to ripening, Is very suscept- ible to treatment; but with less differ ence in time effect. The silk, or female flower, always natures some days be- fore the mass of pollen on the tassel is ready to fall and fertilize the silk Ii the plant is well jared at this period by a. blow struck with the hand or 9 stick, as operator passes between the rows, the pollen will be shaken from | its hold and fall upon the silk consid- erably sooner than if left to mature and the wind. As a result, the ears ripen earlier than they would other
 wise-a difference on the average oI
 three to four days.-H. E. Stock

PREVENTION OF ALFALFA BI.oAT

Place a bridle bit in the animals mouth while grazing. One of our farmers who has had considerable ex- perience in losing cattle on alfalfa has tried this method with entirely satis- factory results. By having a bit in their mouths the cattle cannot eat so fast and the formation of gas is there by preyented.-M. " Shut. Garfield county, Colo.

A New Use For CARPETS.

One of the latest public uses for
Wilton carpets Of an extra quality is
that Of the swab for Uncle Sans huge
cannon now being placed on the new
battleships and forts. According to
ordnance experts the old method of
swabbing cannon with cotton waste or
like stuffs has been very ineffective,
such fbres failing to properly cleanse
the interior of the iron monsters. 1t
is stated that the grade of Wilton re-
CURED by the ordnance department is
an eight-inch frame of the finest wor-
sted, and that when the cannon is
swabbed with the material it is again
ready for business Immediately.
Dealers in short lengths and rem
nants, however, must not imagine that
Uncle Sam wants anything but full
lengths. He is very cranky about his
cannon swabs and, while not ready to
give contracts, would like the mills to
keep Wilton looms well oiled up. 1t
is believed, in fact, that with good
supply of eight-inch frame Wilton on
board an American battle ship would
feel almost equal to confronting two
British battleships Of the same tonnage
and armament.

Trenton, Nav 13.-William S. Yard
who for more than Is years was lay
judge of Mercer county, made an as
signment last night. Yards liabilities
exclusive of mortgages on property
held by him, amounts to $77,000 These
liabilities are made up of $4,000 Of gen.
eral Indebtedness and $4,000 repre-
senting a shortage on his part as trus-
tee of two estates Of which he has had
charge for a number of years. Yard ;
assets are estimated at $4,000, being
the appraised equity he has in the real
estate which stands in his name. To
meet his shortage he gave a blanket
mortgage for $4,000 on his property.
This mortgage will more than absorb
the equity which he had, and will leave
the general creditors fairly out in the
cold. They are for the most part local
banks and members Of his own family.

A Peculiar Vocation,

There is kind of employment,
paying one, too, which is peculiar to
China alone. The Chinese name for
this trade literally signifies gossip
monger. A number of ladies, usually
widows make it their business to col
lect gossip, chit-chat and stories of all
kinds, with which they repair to the
houses of the rich by beating a small
drum which they carry for that pur-
pose, and offer their services to amuse
the ladies Of the families. When it
is remembered that shopping, calling
and attending public assemblies Is al
most entirely forbidden the fashion,
able women of China, the welcome
these danes are given may be mag
ined. They are paid according to the
time employed, at the rate of fifty
cents per hour, and received, besides,
many valuable presents. On these
accounts, they usually retire from bus
mess in easy circumstances, but are
said never to do so unless actually
obliged, so congenial is their occupa-
lion to their feminine tastes.

How n Kentucky Gentleman Died.
The man was Kentuckian-a Ken
tuckian of the highest type. On the
battlefield he won distinction for per-
sonal bravery and for ability as q COM
mander. He served his country equal
ly well as a diplomat when tact and
talent were needed in time of for
eign complications.
Feeling his strength fail, he called
his physician to his bedside and calm
iy asked how long he had to live. He
would have no evasion, and learned
that two hours was the limit Of his
earthly stay. He was silent moment,
and then said, musingly, "Ah! SO short
a while?"
By his order the members of his
family were summoned to his bedside
one by one. With each in turn he held
some minutes calm and tender con-
verse. Then he called all in together.
Finally he turned to his body-ser-
want and ordered the boy to bring
Burgundy, his favorite wine.
Glasses for all were filled. He rails
ed his and smilingly said
Children, my last toast-good-b
and God bless you, one and all"
Then he told all to leave him alone
with the wife he had cherished and
honored. Yet even she, by his COM
mand, a little later joined her children
clustered outside the door. And when
they at last re-entered the room they
found that this great-hearted gentle
man, considerable of others at his end
as he had ever been, had chosen to
meet his Maker alone and had fallen
asleep as peacefully as babe that
smiles aud knows no fear

A Tricky Old Fox.

The East and West Longmeadow
Fox Club of Massachusetts, has a lin
tied membership of a half dozen men
with as many hounds. They have
captured twenty-six foxes since Octo-
Der. Answering a question recently
from the village blacksmith as to what
the hounds were doing the day before
on the railroad track, the senator one
Of the club members, replied:
1--WE got fox up soon after putting
out the dogs at the foot of the hill by
the sulphur spring. They started east
on Mill Hills, but soon came back and
onto the meadows and away over the
river on the ice, while we kept them
In hearing most of the time from the
bluffs. Returning, however, an hour
or so later, and being pushed pretty
hard by the dogs, the fox-he was an
old chap and cunning One-coming
to the railroad again, took to the rail
to bother the dogs, and kept that
course for more than half mile with
out leaving a track in the snow, as far
as we could discover. On the iron rail,
you know, the fox leaves but little
scent, especially after train has pass
ed over it.
THAT is when you heard the dogs.
They were just figuring out where the
fox had left the rail. The dogs found
it themselves at last, without being
caught up by a train, as the old fox no
doubt wished, and as we were afraid.
That old fellow is now through with
his little games. We got over on the
river bank in his way and bowled him
over just before noon as he was max
ing for over the river again, where he
belonged. He was fine dark red fell
low, elegant brush, well tipped with
white-would weigh dozen pounds
easy!"
