Conrad Sachse, the democratic
nominee for sheriff of Tolland county,
is known as a vote getter. At the
polls he is one of the most popular
men in Rockville. He is one of the
leading democrats of the county and
a representative German citizen, who
stands high in German circles, and
who is universally respected. Two
yearsaago Mr.. Sachse was nominated
by the democrats of the town Of
Vernon.for representative. While his
nomination was generally recognized
as a strong one, it was not expected
that he would get the vote that he
did. He got next to the highest num-
ber of votes of any democrat on the
ticket. running ISL votes ahead of
his ticket, and getting within 40
votes of Hon. Henry Roberts, the re-
publican nominee for governor. The
late Judge Reiser was the only demo-
crat to get more votes than Mr.. Sachse.
Based upon the vote for secretary of
state, the republican plurality was
264. Mr.. Sachse was elected repre-
sentative by a plurality of %, show
ing a gain of nearly 800. The demo-
| cratic nominee for sheriff, Hon. Con-
rad Sachse, is a native of Germany,
where he was born Nov. 81, 194S.
He came to this country in 1867 at the
age of 10, and located first in Rock
Vile, taking a position in the New
England mill. He is a weaver by
trade. He is a member of the Hauri-
gari society, in which he has taken a
keen interest for several years. This
is one of the leading German socie-
ties. Mr.. Sachse has not only been
actively identified with the local 60
ciety, but he has been prominent in
the state society. He is the presi
dent of the state society, having beer
recently reelected for second term
He has also served as a state deputy
He is also member of the German
Sick society No. 2, of which societ,
he has served 16 years as president
He is affiliated with the Liedertafe
Singing society and the Reading so
ciety. He is unquestionably the mos
popular German in the city. and i
held in high esteem by every one wh'
knows him. His acquaintance is no
confined wholly to this city, but HI
has many friends throughout the
county. In the last legislature Mr.
Sachse served on the committee OIL
federal relations and some other mino
committees. His record in the legis
lature was most creditable. He in
troduced a number of important bills

The Mormon Church.

The Mormon church, through its ira
ditions and under circumstances that II
is not necessary to trace. had for long
years professed to believe in and did
practice polygamy in the state Of Idaho
and elsewhere.
At trial held before a senate COM
mittee a few months ago, at Washing
ton the president OF the church, not in
Idaho but In Utah, and members OF the
church in Utah and in Idaho testified
to the humiliating fact that they were
polygamists, that they were living In
polygamy with a varying number OF
wives. II must have Disguised every

AFRICAN ELEPHANTS.

elephants are but rarely seen in
the forests of Africa, however num-
erous they may" writes an old hunt
er of big game in the dark continent.
"This is due to many causes. In the
first place, they are naturally extreme
ly shy animals and detest the neigh
borhood of man. In the second place,
they are largely nocturnal feeders and
rarely drink or bathe except at night.
They often travel immense distances
to and from the water and retire dur
ing the day to the remotest portions
of the forest where they doze away
the long, hot hours under the shadi-
est trees that they can find. Lastly
their scent is extremely keen. This
sense is so largely developed that
they can recognize danger az a very
long distance, and as soon as the
alarm is given they move quickly but
noiselessly away. As an elephant dis
turbed or frightened will frequently
travel twenty or thirty miles without
a stop, it is easy to understand that
travellers in the forest, although fire
quently coming upon absolutely fresh
tracks, but seldom see the herd that
has caused them.

A CENTURY AGO.

Few persons today stop to realize
how different things were in this
country century ago. Here are
few things to think of:
Merchants wrote their letters with
quill pens. Sand was used to dry the
ink, as there was no blotting paper.
There were no street letter boxes !;
letters had to be carried to the post
office. 1t cost eighteen and one half
cents to send letter from Boston to
New York, and twenty-five cents
from Boston to Philadelphia.
Every Washington, for
example-wore a queue ; many pow
dered their hair
Imprisonment for debt was COM
mon practice.
Virginia contained fifth of the
whole population of the country.
The Mississippi Valley was not so
we'll known as the heart of Africa
now is.
Two stage coaches carried all the
travellers between New York and Bos-
ton. Six days were required for the
journey.
There was not a public library in
the United States. A day laborer re-
ceived two shillings day.
Stoves were unknown. All cook
ing was done at an open fireplace.
Many of the streets were unnamed,
and houses were not numbered.
When a Virginiau started on a
journey to New York he made his
will and bade- farewell to his friends,
as he never expected to see them
again.

DECoRATEs HER CAT TO MATCH.

The young woman who is fully
alive the picturesque possibilities of
the cat has new fad. She matches
her gown in handsome satin ribbon,
which she ties in an enormous perky
bow around the neck of her Angora
or Persian cat. Then she takes the
cat in her arms or in her lap and
talks to her men callers and watches
the effect. She says that nine times
out of ten they seem hypnotized by
the picture, and she has heard herself
spoken of as beautiful girl five times
when she used to once.
.'Wear a pale blue gown she
says, and then on your kitten use a
white satin ribbon figured in forget
me-nots and you have an effect which
cannot be beaten. Or suppose your
dress is wine color. Make the rib.
bon on your cat one Of those Persian
things that have the wine color tone
predominating and you'll make a
stunning picture. If you're wearing
pure white and your eyes are blue
make the cats ribbon as near the
shade of the bluein your eyes as pos
sible. If your eyes are brown the
cat should wear a red ribbon, or one
of those golden brown shades.
"With the champagne color gown
should go dead white ribbon for the
cat. When 1 want to be particularly
dazzling I put on black lace gown
over white silk and then on my pussy
I put a ribbon of white marked off
with broad stripes of black. We
make dashing combination, I can
tell you. If I'm wearing red pussy
wears that peculiar shade of pink
which blends so beautifully with red
and it softens my gown down SO that
the men like it, and very few men
like red gown.
"You know we cat lovers used to
try to set off our gowns by having
pussy on a harmonizing cushion at
our side, but it was impossible to
make cushion for every gown, and
so this plan of dressing the cat with
ribbons has been adopted"

creased, Congress became interested
! as to the conduct of the adherents of
the Crown who remained in those
portions of the country in which the
British arms were not yet triumphant,
but which were threatened by the
royal fleets and armies. Congress,
at Philadelphia, passed on the 3Ist of
July, 1777, a resolution recommend
ing the Supreme Executive Council Of
the State of Pennsylvania forthwith
to make prisoners such of the late
Crown and proprietary of officers and
other persons in and near this city as
are disafected or dangerous to the
publick liberty, and send them
back into the country, there to be
confined or enlarged upon parole as
their character and behavior may re-
quire.'
On the nth of August, under this
authority, John Penn, late proprietor
of Rennsy syiaania, aud enjamin shsn'
Chief Justice, were arrested by soldiers
of the Light Horse Troop of the City
of Philadelphia. The choice parole
was given them, they refused, and
Congress was then notified and re-
quested to order them out of the
State. The officers of the Light Horse
were directed to send an officer and
six of the troop to escort John Penn
and Benjamin Chew as prisoners to
Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Rev.
DR.. Ewing appeard in behalf of Chew
before the Supreme Council OF the
State and declared: "Mr. Chew's
willingness now to sign the parole
offered him, and requested that he
might be permitted to do so, at the
same time declaring that Mr.. Chew
had not refused to sign the parole from
any want of respect to the Council,
but from desire that the cause of his
arrest might have been inserted in
he warrant in arresting him, In
order that he might be able to satisfy
his friends for what he is arrested,
and that it may not be supposed he
stands with having committed any
crime against the States, but that
be is arrested as on officer under the
late government of Pennsylvania
The appeal being unsuccessful,
John Penn and Benjamin Chew were
placed under arrest and ordered to be
removed to Virginia according to the
minutes of the Council. While it
has been generally supposed that they
went to Virginia, papers in possession
of the Chew family, however, sug-
gest change of place for the prison
ers. They were required to remove
to and remain at the Union Iron
Works, near Burlington, N. j., where
they remained part of 1777 and the
year 1878. Congress, in 1878, diree-
ted that the prisoners sent to Virginia
should be delivered over to the Coun-
Gil of the State of Pennsylvania, and
thus the Continental Government was
spared further responsibility. "A. K.

POWER OF PURPOSE.

We all can measure the outward
triumph of mans life, but we rare
" measure the forces out of which
the triumph sprang. Men suddenly
emerge into the blaze of fame, and
then the world wakes up and wonders
how it has all happened. There IS
no such thing as luck in any world
over which God presides. What,
then, is the secret3 1t is purpose.
The great victories which men praise
are always won first of all in a mans
own soul. The great men who stamp
themselves ineffaceably on the ages
are always the men who are capable OF
conceiving a purpose clearly and OF
following it courageously through
evil and good report. You may
sweep aside as relatively trivial all
questions of the range of their gifts,
the scope of their intellectual life.
The great thing which you have to
reckon with is the immense strength
and heroic persistency of their pur-
pose.

GRIZZLY BEARS AND PAHrHERs.

"In the mountains of Wyoming,
where I have hunted for years, you
can find most any kind of savage an
imal that you get in America except
alligators. Grizzlies, black bears and
mountain lions are commonly killed
there" says Hugh Sniverly of Sher-
idan, Wyo. "Some of the men that
come out there to hunt think that if
they stir 100 yards away from camp
they must be armed to the teeth for
fear of being attacked by bear or
painter and killed. There's heap
more danger Of getting killed on ac-
count Of leaving your gun at home
when you go down Market street.
Some one might shoot on the street
in big city, but it is dead sure that
a bear or mountain lion will never
attack you unless you drive him to
it.
"I've hunted the best districts for
big game in this country, and I've seen
a good many grizzlies, but I've never
seen one of them go after man, un-
less he was cornered or wounded. If
you run into grizzly bear in lonely
place you'll hear gruut something
like that of mammoth hog, and
then there will be a mighty crashing
of underbrush as he makes off in the
opposite direction as fast as he can go.
All you can generally see cfa mountain
lion is tawny streak as he makes off
at incredible speed. If he has any
intention of going after you it must
be his intention to go around the
world and catch you in the rear, for
if you are standing to the east of him
he is sure to go due west.
Mountain lions in the winter time
will follow sleighs at distance,
wailing as they 60, but there is moth
ing in that to inspire terror, for /
don't think they have ever been
known to close in on anybody. Their
terror of human beings is the thing
which make them hard to shoot. In
all the time that / have been in the
mountains 1 have never heard of any
one being attacked by wild animal
that had been left strictly alone. But
I've known men to be killed even by
deer when the brute was driven to
desperation.
"Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. When you once get their dan
der up they are savage fighters, and
the hunters life is in danger every
minute unless he is good shot and
has a steady nerve. If you ever get
within reach of the grizzly's paw you
are dead one. These stories of men
killing them with knives in hand to
hand fights are about as reasonable
as it would be to talk of stopping
locomotive by getting in the way of
the train. If the big fellow gets the
chance to deliver one blow it is all
over. There was a grizzly up our
way that the cowboys called Big
Ben, who killed about one hundred
and fifty steers before he was finally
shot. He would break steers neck
at one blow and then he would lift
him UP and carry him off to seclu-
ded place. Grizzlies look awkard but
they are mighty light on their feet,
and they can beat any man in foot
race"
