1t is perhaps not generally known
that turkey quills have a positive
market value. They may be sorted
and sold separately according to
variety, or they may be sold just as
they come from the turkey.
The word fleece as applied to poul-
try dressing, is comparatively a new
term. 1t indicates the wing, tail,

which should be sayed, as they have
a market value.

NO MORE GOEBELISM.
Congress to Be Asked to Amend Ma
tional Election Laws.

FRANKFORT, KY. February 2s.-
The Republican joint caucus of the
Legislature met this evening, and af-
ter long discussion concerning elec
ton laws in the South, and particu
larly the Goebel election law in this
state, decided to take the initiative in
a movement to bring the matter be-
fore Congress. The purpose is to
call convention in which the states
of Kentucky Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Caroli-
ma and South Carolina are to take
part, at which convention action is to
be taken memorializing Congress to
amend the national election laws so
as to take out of the hands of the
election machinery of the various
state governments the details of at
least congressional and presidential
elections.
The caucus convened at 6 o'clock
and several prominent Republican
leaders, in addition TO the Republi-
can members of both houses, were
present National Committeeman
John w. Yerkes was among the lead
ers present and made speach. The
speakers declared that the election
laws in the states mentioned practical
lv amount to disfranchisement of the
Republican voters living in those
states, and the call for the convention
will invite all persons who oppose
partisan election laws to participate
in it. State Senators Cox and How
ard and Representative Stack were
named as committee to take the mat
ter up and secure the cooperation of
Republicans in the states named and
all over the country and interest them
in the movement in favor of election
reform.

1000 MEN.
The Number Sacri-
feed.
BY Butler IN Relieving Ladysmith'

LONDON, March Buffers feliel
of Ladysmith cane in the nick oi
time. Despite the cheerful hello
graphs, the beleagured garrison was
in dire straits. Only the belief tina,
relief was sure this time apparently
enabled the garrison to hold out.
Private reports from Ladysmith
skow that the garrison was not only
short Of food, but that the water on
Ehich they depended was poison.
Tea made from it was thick with
stringy sediment, which was nothing
less than sewerage from the Boer
camp.
The few spots sheltered from the
bombardment were speedily polluted,
and those who escaped fever or dysen-
terry were ia 4 wretched physical con-
dition.
For long tiuee the garrison has
subsisted on horse and mule flesh.
Luxuries were beyond the means OF
the majority. Eggs were 80 a dozen:
a can OF milk cost 81: tobacco was
s25 pound, and a case of whiskey
was raaied off for 500.
The number of men within the lines
at Ladysmith were reported early in
Febraary at E.0oG, of whom 5000
were civilians and 5000 soldiers.
Ladysmith has been besieged almost
exactly four months Wire commun-
ication with the place was cut by the
Beers November ).
The relief of Ldysmith has been
costly. The hrst attempt by Buller
to cross the Tugela December Il was
made at a sacrifice of 1, 100 men,
The two subsequent attempts on the
Upper Tngela cost upwards of 1000
men, anG in the last and successful
attempt the estimated British loss
was Loco. This makes a grand total
of about 100.
Some idea OF the obstacles with
which Butler coc1tended can be had in
the following from a Coleuso CORES
pondent. He writes.
No pen can describe the difficult
ties. Ridge after ridge, like the
waves of the sea. Each can be infll-
AIDED by the enemy, and until one is
taken it is impossible even with the
keenest scouting to know what for
tune lies beyond.
ITO add to the difficulties the trop-
ical rainy season has set in. For
twelve hours uniforms of men clung
to them like wet seaweed. The mud
caught them under foot and the mist
closed down and shut out the position
of the enemy. This discomfort is
borne by all alike. Gen. Butler and
his staff are virtually living lives of
privates. There has not been even a
tent to cover the commanding Cen
erals They eat from their knees,
with their shoulders against rock
and sleep where they cam

Too Much Formalfty.

A number of sermons lately an
nounce that the influence of the pulpit
is waning. That has been noted by
outsiders for many years. There is
too much formslity and not enough
real Christian spirit in many of the
pulpits. They are time servers: they
preach to the charge that will pay the
largest salary: they scheme to. get
put over the richest congregations;
they preach to please rather than to
instruct: they talk of non-essentials
rather than social duties: they tell of
things in the long ago rather than
how man should live and act to-day;
they close their eyes to the various
forms of usury tprofit, interest and
rent) and extend the glad hand to
those who live by these means If they
will only contribute literally. Not
all preachers are Of this kind, but so
many are that the character has been
estimated by this standard, and the
people have fallen away from the
church, and you will hear remarks of
this kind made in almost any gather
ing when the subject turns on relig-
ion. 1t is not said in the presence of
the cloth, out OF that respect men
have fer the feelings OF another, but
it is there and consequently the church
has lost its influence and power.
People go to church largely out OF
habit and to see who is there. but the
Christian spirit has fed the house.

WHY VEST Has GONE ,oUra,
DOee Not Want to Vote Against Seat
ing HIS Friend Quay.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 26.
Senator Vest has gone to Florida.
The Senator's friends say he has gone
for rest and to recuperase. There
are some. however, who suggest diff
ferent explanation of the Senator's
departure at this time. While Sena
tor Vest is undoubtedly feeble. it is
nevertheless fact that he has been
stronger recently than for a year
past His increase ia vigor has been
demonstrated by his Increased activ-
ity in the Senate. On several coca
sions within the pas. few weeks he has
spoken at length. There are sone,
therefore, who do not believe the Sem
ator left Washington at this time be-
cause of consideration for his health.
They believe he went away thai, by
his absence, he might help Qa&y to
be seated.
The friendship between X,est and
Quay is OF aoEg standing. Fer years
past it has been their custom 20 spend
their Vacations together in Florida.
While differing so radically political
ly. the strongest personal attachment
exists between the senior Missouri
Senator and the Pennsylvania Repub-
lican eeader- Vest has never hesitat-
ed to say privately that he hoped Sem
ator Quay would be seEted. If he
consNlted a,is personal wishes, uR-
doubtedty he would like TO to vote for
Quay. Eut. unfortaDstely for his
present disposition in the Quay case,
Senator Vest has a @s.ord against
seating appointees of Governors, ap-
pointed linder such circumstances as
Qxayis appointment wac, made.
Senate- Vest could net vote to seat
Qaa;y without absolute and humi! isst-
ing qualification At .she same time,
his friendship for Quay is such that
he does not waut to -see him turned
down. In this pe,nleying situation
