when not more than Il week old will
begin to pick at hay or clover as il sees
its dam doing. This is an indication
that it needs additional food. Glover
hay Is excellent. but it should be sup
rlemented by a feed OF half a gill of oats
given morning and night. There is no
better nutrition for growing animals
than oats. 1t will enable them to eat
and digest other food and put them in
the way of being thrifty all the rest of
their lives, until their teeth are too
much worn by use to masticate well.

The NaIue of Warmth.

Both adults and chicks love warmth.
The hens will select the sunny spots,
especially if protected against the
winds Oh damp or cold days, while
even on the wdrmest days of July the
chicks will nestle under the hen. Should
a heavy shower suddenly come up, and
the chicks appear dead, place them near
a stove, or in an oven of moderate heat,
end notice how quickly the apparently
dead chicks will come to life again.
Heat is the grea: ife-giving element.
Should disease of any kind appear al
ways provide a dry and warm place.
There is no remedy for roup that equals
warmth, not that warmth Will cure it,
hut warmth ~invigorates the fowl and
enables it to withstand the ordeal

Fee, ding Cotton sepJ Meal

Cotton seed meal is extremely diff
cult of digestion, and should never be
given to young animals or those which
from advanced age have a weak diges-
ton. The hull. which is shown by dark
spots in the meal. is almost entireI: in
digestible. Calves and pigs have been
killed by eating small amounts OF dark
cotton seed meal. Ruminant animals
can digest it better. but it is so concen-
fed with some bulky but less nutritious
ration. a small amount of cotton seed
meal in a pailful of bran mash can be
eaten safely by a cow.-American Cub

view Which Said He Declared for Bryan-Did Say That Bryan Would Again he Nominated and That Silver Issue Could Not be Concealed.

Detroit, Dec. "A Tribune special from Howard Mich, says: The follow ing letter from the Hon. John M Palm er who is at the head of the sound money democrats, was written to Isaac M. Bush in regard to an alleged inter- view asserting that General Palmer had come out in favor of William J. Bryan;
 My Dear Sir-I have read your favor of December 1, 1899. I have never seen the interview to which you allude, and do not know what it contained, but real interview took place when I was in Washington recently, in which I said that MT. Bryan would be nominated by the democratic convention, and with him as it's candidate the free silver is- sue could not be concealed and that l would not support him, and I did not predict his election. I find that the free silver republicans entertain the same views that I do--that on the issue of 16 to 1 MT. Bryan's opinions are known and cannot be gloesed over MT. Bryan will lose Illinois by 100000 votes, in my opinion. No gold democrats will vote for him here"

DOTHERED BYCOAL RARGES. Steamers Richard Peck nnd Kenn c bee
 Delayed Last Night.

The steamers Richard Peck and Ken night in getting into the New Haven Steamboat company's dock by string barges, about a dozen in number, were lying across the channel, one being tied up at the coal pocket dock, there by holding the others from floating out ot the channel.
 The Kenrebec from New York was the first boat in and she was delayed for some time. She was finally docked with much difficulty and when she went out she was obliged to run up to the bridge and swing there instead of swinging in the slip, as is usual, since the slip was blocked by the canal boats. The Peck came into the harbor from Providence later, but she was unable to get into her dock on account of the string of barges being in her slip. She was obliged to wait until tug could be secured to draw her in and was delayed about two hours.
 The barges are loaded with coal and were brought in by a tug about g o'clock in the evening. The employees of the steamboat company remonstrated with the captain of the tug against leaving the barges in the channel, but the captain stated that he had orders to leave the barges there and would not put them elsewhere.

THE NEVIS OF CONGRESS-.
Discussion of House Financial Bill-- tIr
 Roberts Occupies n Seat.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The session of the house lasted only half an hour to- day. MT. Overstreet of Indiana, in charge of the finance bill, attempted to reach an agreement for its consdera- tion next week, but Mr. Richardson, on behalf of the minority, rejected all pro- posals on the ground that bill as inn portant as this should go through the regular channels. The speaker there upon appointed the committee on rules which is to include himself, MT. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, MT. Grosvenor of Ohio, MT. Richardson of Tennessee and MT. Bailey of Texas. They will hold a meeting tomorrow and decide upon a rule for the limit of the debate which will undoubtedly consume the whole of next week. MT. Roberts, the Mormon representative, despite the adoption of the Taylor (Ohio) resolution, which in terms deprives him of his seat during the pendency of his case in committee, was in the hall throughout the session and occupied the seat he selected on Monday.

Mormons, I solemnly deny those charges The only thing chargeable to some few men in Utah is that they have not deserted their plural wives
 they married years ago previous to the settlement of the polygamy question
 between the government of the United
 States and the state of Utah by which
 'polygamous or plural marriages are forever prohibited in Utah, a penalty affixed by constitutional provision and the whole made unrepealable without the consent of the United States and the consent of the people of Utah.
 Tt is Mormon who is the object of the popular clamor to-day; may it not be the Catholic, or the Methodist, or the Free Thinkers tomorrow? If the rights of the representative from Utah and of his state cannot be safeguarded by the provisions of the constitution and the laws from the frenzy of popu- lar fury, set on fire by falsehood and distortion, what guarantee have we that any ones rights are secure? I shall do all I can to maintain my rights, and indirectly, yours, too, un- der the constitution. I stand alone save for the very few who gave me their guarded support by voting against the monstrous proceedings that pre- vents me from taking the oath of office. l am without dollar at my command except the salary attached to my office, with which to fight the battle now pending before the special committee. am without legal counsel, except for the kindly suggestions of here and there a word from A. lawyer acouairlt- ance or friend. And, indeed I prefer it to be so now and I want the condi ton here named to stand as refuta tion to the sensational charges that have been made about the Mormon church standing behind me, with any amount of money for legal counsel, and the maintenance of a lobby in Wash ington.''

PROGRESS OF MoA1Nnux TRIAL.
Assistant District AttOney Called as a

Asststant District Attoney Called as 8 Witness Defense Objects. New York, Dec. 7.-Assistant District Attorney John F. Mcintyre was called as witness this afternoon in the trial of Roland B. Molineux for the murder Of Mrs. Katherin J. Adams. Apparent ly all Assistant District Attorney Os- borne wanted of I'M. Mcintyre was the mere identification of the remains of Mrs. Adams. After MT. Mcintyre had testified concerning his visit to the apartments of Mrs. Rogers and Mrs Adams and had asserted that he recog- nized the dead body of the poisoned woman the witness was turned over to MT. Weeks for cross examination. MT. Weeks protested vigorously against be- ing compelled to cross examine MT. Mcintyre at this time. The attorney for the defense said that the appear ance of MT Mcintyre to-day was to- expected and that the defense was to- tally unprepared to proceed with an examination of the witness.
 MT. Osborne said that he would never call MT. Mcintyre for any other pur- pose than as an aid to establishing tine
 
 ally ruled that the defense could not go outside of the line pursued by the prosecution in the examination of MT. Mcintyre unless MT. Weeks called the assistant district attorney as witness for Molineux. It was finally agreed that the cross examination of MT. Mo- Intyre should be postponed for the day. William J. Kinsley, the handwriting ex- pert, was subject to a long and severe examination by MT. Weeks this after noon. He was finally allowed to quali- fly as an expert in handwriting. The afternoon proceedings were enlivened by vigorous criticism by Recorder Golf of the methods employed by the lawyers on both sides of the case in general and of the fatal propensity of MT.

Ellen Barrett a seventeen yea r-old
 girl who resided with her parents at
 NO. Murray place. committed suicide
 yesterday afternoon by taking oarbolic
 acid. About o'clock a woman who iu
 one of the neighbors of the Barretts saw the girl come out of the alley lead
 Ing to Murray place and stand at the entrance of the alley moment. Then
 the girl drew vial from her pocket. and, raising it to her lips, drank the contents. The neighbor, noticing her queer actions went out, and the girl seeing the neighbor coming, turned and walked back towards her home. Her mother, happening to see her coming and staggering hurried to the door and opened 1t. As she did so the girl fell on the steps The mother, greatly alarmed, asked her what was the matter, and tile girl replied that she had taken carbolic acid. She was taken into the house and laid upon bed, and a physician was sent for. Dr. M. J. Sheahan of No. 33S Howard avenue was summoned and re- sponded quickly. When he arrived he found the girl just gasping and she died few minutes later.
 The girl was the daughter of John Barrett who is employed at Reynolds & Co.'S bolt works. She was also en- ployed there up to a short time ago It is said that she went to Ansonia to att tend a dance Wednesday evening and when she returned home her parents chided her severely for staying away so long. Brooding over this she became despondent. She purchased the carbolic acid-about two ounces-at Sheridan,s drug store yesterday morning and took the entire two ounces, the vial being found empty. The neighbors say that the girl was ambitious and wanted to better her condition. Her parents are poor people, and she was dissatisfied with her lot. She leaves, besides her father and mother, several brothers and sisters

TROUBLE IN NEUROLOGICAL SCHOOL
Students Leave Boston University Be-
 canse of Un-Methodistic Teachings.

Boston, Dec 1.-The theological de- partment of Boston university has been shaken up not a little by the with
 drawal of nine students because they
 considered the teachings of Professor
 Hinckley G. Mitchell to be un- Method
 istic and too liberal. These same stu
 dents have gone to Drew Theological
 seminary at Madison. N. J. In view of
 the present disagreement it is claimed
 that protests have been made for a
 year past, the protestants being of the
 opinion that Professor Mitchell ought
 either to modify his opinions or resign
 from the faculty of the theological
 school. The movement eliminated in
 a petition to the trustees against the
 appointment of the professor when his
 term expired this month.
 The matter was, of course, known to
 the body of students who agreed with
 the professors teachings, who sent in a counter petition for the professors s retention. The trustees investigated,
 heard both sides and finally decided to reappoint Professor Mitchell for a new term of five years The nine students, on hearing of this, laid their case be- fore the board of bishops of the M. E. church with the result that the faculty of Boston university notified the pro- testants that they must cease further agitation, whereupon they severed their connection with the institution.
 At the head of the agitation was Rev. w. Schenck, who was supplying the pulpit at a. church in Franklin, Mass. On Friday last he resigned the pastor- ate and later publicly explained his req sons as follows: Coming from the west to Boston University School of Theology a year ago he was shocked to find the most rabit rationalism being taught as Old Testament exercises under cover of leading Universalist school. Believ- ing it his duty, not alone as personal matter, but in the interest of Meth odism at large, he antagonized the off, lending professor by demanding proof, which was not forthcoming. Coming to Messiahic prophecy only half truth was taught. Further on, Jesus Christ was authority on Old Testament scrip ture. The immaculate conception was set aside and the atoning blood made non essential"
 MT. Schenck then explained the disa greements at the university, at which he was a divinity student, and that the young men, himself included, would withdraw to Drew seminary, MT. Schenck was accorded vote of thanks for his labors in the parish. President of the university confirms the story of the dissensions and says that the matter cannot be further consider d until the next meeting of the bishops. Professor Mitchell declines to be inter- viewed. It is claimed that only strong discipline has prevented the student body from making a demonstration in behalf of the faculty.
