town in Maine. an important local
election was to take place, and there
was strong rivalry between the Re
publicans and Democrats. Old Hiram
Morse, the blacksmith, was a strong
Democrat, but many of the farmers
were Republicans.
On the morning of the election a
farmer came in to have his horse
shod. The blacksmith said to him:
We're both busy. You're a Republi-
can, and I'm a Democrat Let's pair
off. Wen neither Of us vote, and it
will amount to the same as il we both
went to the polls"
This was agreed upon. After cleo
tion it was found that Morse had
paired off with five Republican far

The focusing OF the limelight upon

calls an incident which took place in
one of the committee rooms of the
national capitol last winter. There
were present a number of men OF
note, among whom were the ex-sen-
ator and his son, the noted torpedo
expert, Lieutenant Commander Lloyu
Chandler. The conversation was gen
cral and the brilliant sallies and caus-

enjoyed by all. After a particularly

arose and departed. In the quiet that
followed his departure, his son was

The hornets nest that was stirred up
in the Senate Committee on Investigation
OF Indian Territory Affairs Wednesday by
the withdrawal by Secretary Hitchcock Of
certain lands from allotment to the In
dians. as ordered by Congress, was the
subject Of long conference at the White
House yesterday. Secretary Hitchcock,
Chief Forester Pinchot. and Indian Com
missioner Leupp had a talk with the
President about the matter, and although
no direct statement was given out after
ward it was intimated that the with
drawal order for which Mr.. Hitchcock
was so severely scored by members of the
Senate committee yesterday had been di-
rected by the President himself.
Secretary Hitchcock would make no
statement after the White House confer
ence, but it is presumed that the objec-
tionabIe order will be withdrawn.

SHAW SPRINGS A SURPRISE
Calls Meeting for 7:30 o'clock III
the Morning.
Secretary Of the Treasury Insists,
Despite Protests over
Early Hour.

For the first time in the history of the
government the Treasury Department this
morning viii begin business at 7,3o O'Clock.
Secretary Shaw and his Office clerks and
twoscore persons from Plttsburg are
expected 10 be on hand at that unusual
hour TO continue a hearing on the location
Of the Pittsburg Federal building.
Several months ago Secretary Shaw
selected a site for the building, which
provoked a good deal Of opposition. The
amount allowed for its purchase was
81 100000. Il was said that the ground he
chose would cost more than that, and
the location anyhow was too far from the
center of the city. Although the Secre-
tary had asked the Department of Justice
to proceed with condemnation proceed
ings he Cancelled this action, and opened
the whole case by allowing hearings. The
entire day yesterday was spent in hear
ing arguments against the proposed site.
At the close Secretary Shaw said:
This hearing stands adjourned until
half past I o'clock tomorrow morning.
A more surprised set OF men was never
seen. They protested that Il was too
beastly early, but the Secretary insisted;
aud so the Treasury Department viii open
for business an hour and half earlier
than ever before.

prisoner at the Marine Barracks, made a
dash for liberty and succeeded in getting

I.auer. who was IN the guardhouse on
the charge Of forging enlistment papers
and with having passed some worthless
checks while connected with the quarter
masters department in New York, was
guarded by a corporal when he made his
dash. The soldier and sergeant, who
was stationed near the gate, both fired at
the fleeing man. but missed him
After chasing him as far as the rail-
road tracks at Sixth street and Maryland
avenue. they lost track Of him, and i'm
nediately reported the case to the detec-
tive headquarters.
Detectives Trumbo and Grant were as
signed to the case, and after a long
search discovered the man in an attic at
SOP Pennsylvania avenue. Lauer had dis
posed of his uniform and was dressed In

found a verdict against Leon Of guilty
OF manslaughter An appeal was also
taken from this verdict, and a motion
for a new trial was filed on June q, 1884
II seems that the court in passing on the
points at issue held that the evidence
against Leon in the case, being that Of
an accomplice. uncorroborated BY other
witnesses. was not sufficiently strong. The
prosecution, IL is understood, dropped the
matter then.

Regarding Canada's Future.

Upon the question OF Canada's future.
Mr.. Bryce says plainly that England will
consider Canada perfectly free to choose
her own destiny. and he holds that the
United States VIII never, under any cir
cumstances, be disposed to bring pres
sure TO bear Tor Canadian annexation.
Mr.. Bryce exonerates the United States
absolutely from any disposition to make
territorial conquests in the European i'm
perial spirit, although he evidently con
siders that manifest destiny will bring
about crumbling of Mexico, with cor
responding gradual accessions to the
United States on the South comparable
with our acquisition Of Texas He looks
forward to the extension OF the United
States as far South as the Isthmus of
Panama
As regards the relations of this country
with South Africa, Mr.. Bryce holds that

THE ONION PATCH.

Experience with onion raising COW
ering several years leads to the belief
that the most economical as well as
the most satisfactory preparation Of
land for the crop consists In summer
following of the piece Of land to be
used the season before one wishes to
raise the onion crop. This should con-
sist Of successive plOwings and disking,
which will result In bringing to the
surface, terminating and killing just
a. much of the weed seed In the soil
as possible. The decrease In the cost
Of wedding coupled with the satisfac-
ton Of having the crop In clean con-
dition will pay for the rental Of the
land three times over. A fine clover
meadow which was remarkably free
from weeds last season and the second
crop on which was plowed under last
September now shows no end of pigeon
grass, which must have lain dormant
through last year, the presence Of
which will very largely increase the
cost of wedding. If the piece of land
selected for the onion patch is not
known to be reasonably free from
weed seeds the plan of summer fallow-
ing will be found by far the most sat
isfactory.

A SAMSON pawned the GuiIlotine.

The Sansons have place in French
history, not only because they contin-
ued so long TO hold their odious office,
but because two of their number, q
father and son, held office during the
evil days Of the reign Of terror, when
they were kept so busily engaged with
their guillotine. The last of the San
son dynasty was dismissed from his
post in the reign Of Louis Philippe, in
1S47, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited a comforta-
BILE fortune from his father, the exc
cutioner Of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties and was guilty Of
pawning his guillotine, surely the most
lugubrious pledge ever taken by NOR
tai pawnbroker. An order came from
the procurator general for the execu-
ton Of criminal, and the necessary
apparatus was not forthcoming. The
prison authorities had perforce to get
It out Of pawn, and the execution took
place But the last Of the Sansons was
Informed that his services would no
longer be required. What became Of
him afterward does not appear to be
known.
