today, the object being to organize Q
campaign club within the party, and
somewhat on the lines of the national

feature, that the strict enforcement OF
the prohibitory law be made one OF the

of the principles that every man VINO

The Gold Conspiracy.

Columbus, o., Jan. 3-The arrival of
three close friends of ex-senator Brice
recently started the report that over
lures had been made to the gold
Democrats to vote with the Republi-
cans for Brice for senator as an in
dependant gold standard man, in the
event that Hanna could not be elected.
If all the Republican members who at
tended the regular eausas could be
depended upon for this, there are
enough Gold Democratic members to
carry it through. Prominent Repub,
licans favor the plan rather than
elect Silver Republican senator.

TIN PAIL FOR A BANK.
Foolish Michigan Farmer Loses His Little
Fortune.

Niles, Mich, Dec. 29.-Lawrence
Walters, an aged farmer residing three
miles north of Wayland, Cass county,
had no faith in banks. and instead,
placed his savings, consisting of about
81 500 in green backs, $4,000 in govern
ment bonds, notes, mortgages and
other valuable papers, in tin pail.
This pail he buried beneath the floor
OF his barn some months ago, and he
has been in the habit of visiting the
hiding place every day to see if his
fortune was safe. This morning when
he made his customary visit he discov-
cred that robbers had been there, for
his fortune had disappeared. The
old man is almost crazed over his mis-
fortune.

VIII Dispense with Pension At orney S

Washington, Jan. Comm issioner
of Pensions Evans has been giving
some attention to a proposition where
by the services of pension attorneys
engaged in the prosecution of claims
before the Office may be dispensed
with, and their work done by officials
under government supervision. The
present system, he says, is wrongful,
and should have been done away with
long ago.
Disseminating the services of the at,
torneys would result in great saving
to both pensioners and the govern.
ment, and liability to frauds in issuing
pensions would be reduced to a mini
mum. The commissioner notes the
fact that S13, 500, 900 has been paid out
during tbs past 13 years to pension at
torneys by applicants for the prosecu
tion of their claims.

COMRADES AND FRIENDS OFTHE BCC

COMRADES AND FRIENDS OF THE BCC
want to thank every one personally who
has so nobly come forward to the help of
Equality, by making it possible to purchase
a donkey engine, which is practically an
assured fact las it will be ordered in few
days, with our sawmill in operation by the
time you read this. Do you wonder at us be-
ing jubilant here at Equality? For those two
facts together means the rapid preparation
of material, for the equally rapid construction
of homes for our comrades already here, and
for those that say that "Miles' whole army
can't keep them away" as well as the con-
struction of buildings suitable for the printery
and National offices. AS we were practically
a unit on the removal of headquarters to
Equality, so we are unit on the determine
tion to make Equality an object esson--a
certain success. When we consider the num-
Der of positive people at Equality it might be
a source of wonder how we get along so har-
moniously, but when you are reminded that
we are learning the lesson of tolerance-the
grandest lesson that mortal can learnt is
but little wonder. We all feel that the skies
were never so bright for Equality as they are
today. We are gradually learning the lesson
that this is simply business proposition. and
the more exact our system, the more har-
monious our relation TO each other. and we
feel that we have more of the conditions that
bring success than ever before. We are bet
ter organized, are more united, and more
harmonious than ever before IN the history of
Equality. OLIVER p. DARR.

TORE THE WRONG o

Royalty dearly loves it's fun, and
nowhere are practical jokes more in
vogue than in the palaces of Old World
monarchs. says the New York Journal.
No one, it is said, is tonder of practical
joking than the Prince of Wales. His
private secretary, Sir Francis Knollys,
has, in times gone by been called upon
to endure with good humor and sereni-
ty many a trying experience. One day
not long ago, Sir Francis got the laugh
on the would be joker and gave him q
taste Of his own medicine.
Among the princes friends was q
famous sportsman, Capt. bay" Mid
dleton, whose favorite trick used to be
to approach from behind some unsus.
pecting man and seize his coat tails,
which he would wrench apart in such
a manner as to split the garment up
the back.
At Sandringham Sir Francis took
pains to offer himself as the victim and
butt for the gallant EBAY" When the
men retired to the smoking room after
the princess and ladies were gone, he
took up his place in front of the fire,
bent his head, and appeared entirely
lost in thought.
His attitude Yves too inviting not to
appeal to the jocular instincts of Cap
tain Middleton, who, after asking the
princes permission to leave the card
table for g moment, crept up softly to
Sir Francis, suddenly seized hold Of the
tails of his dress-coRt, and with a jerk,
tore it apart from waist to collar.
Unlike most Of Bays victims, Sir
Francis took the matter in exceeding
good spirits. Indeed, he laughed, and
appeared greatly to epj y the fun.
Somewhat astopished, the prince and
the men present inquired how it was
that Sir Francis had treated the matter
with such indif 3reuce.
THAT is very easy to explain, sir"
was the reply. 1.-THE coat is not mine.
I had heard of Middleton's fondness fer
this particular form Of amusement,
and, accordingly, when I came down
stairs just now to the smoking room, I

There was a hurricane of ~irrepressi-

and the merriment was intensified by
the disconnected appearance of Captain
Middleton, who was-bitterly annoyed
to have thus destroyed one of his best
evening coats.

1t is very difficult even for a dealer
in cheap clothing to get the better of
Pat, as the following story, told by a
London journal, we'll illustrates.
Pat was a witty Irishman, who had
just arrived in London from the Emer
aid Isle. He was aimlessly wandering
about the town, when he perceived a
suit Of clothes at a shop door inscribed:
This superior suit for helf-price." So
in Pat walked and inquired the price.
Just sixteen shillings, SIR replied
the shopman.
"Begorra, that's chape enough !" said
Pat. 'lII take it."
When the parcel was tied up, he put
it under his arm, and laying eight shill
ings on the counter, wes going out at
the door, when the ehopkeeper inter
cepted him, and demanded another
eight shillings.
Didn't you say. you spalpeen, that
the price of the suit was sixteen, shill-
ings, and sure haven't I given you the
half of it, And by this and by that,
I won't give up my bargainr n
A scUm9 then ensued, and Pat was
taken to the police court, where he
pleaded his cause so ably that the
magistrate dismissed the complaint,
and advised the tailor eve again to
ticket his goods with Half price!"-

blades, should always be we'll covered.
A serious mistake ia made by those
people who sleep with their heads un-

nearly so dangerous as the devitalized
air which they are compelled to breath.
Another bad habit is that Of breathing

two tablespoonful of vinegar. Put
