seed Potatoes.

On account OF the high price of eat
ing potatoes during the last three
years and on account Of the great
shortage OF seed this Spring, farmers
in their anxiety are apt to buy their
seed potatoes without giving the sub
ject the same careful attention they
usually do. Under this condition UNI
scrupulous dealers npuge the farmer
and force upon him inferior seed po-
tatoes. In another column is the ad-

ACID THROWER CAUGHT
CHARLES ]. COOPER, FIREMAN on
WESTERN MARYLAND RAILROAD
Has Puzzled Baltimore Police for
More Than a Year.

For more than year the police Of
Baltimore have been receiving com
plants from women that acid had
been thrown upon their clothing on
the streets. More than q hundred
complaints are on file with the police
department, and the sleuths have
been anxious to capture the guilty
party, but the acid thrower did his
work so quietly and IN so many diff
ferent localities that 1t was a difficult
matter TO locate him and capture him
In the act. This was accomplished
on Monday by Detectives Pohler and
Coughlin, and the man proves TO be
Charles j. Cooper, a fireman on the
Western Maryland Railroad.
The detectives noticed Cooper
standing in front OF one Of the de-
partment stores on Lexington street
After watching him short time, they
saw him move up beside a woman
who was looking in window. AS he
reached the woman'B side, Cooper
stopped as though to tie his shoe, but,
instead OF doing this, put his right
hand in his coat pocket. Before be
could withdraw his hand, the de-
tectivee were on him. A syringe and
two bottles of acid were found upon
him.
From the instant the detectives
laid their hands upon Cooper he made
no pretense at innocence. He knew
Detective Pohler, and addressed him
by name as the officer placed his
hands on him. Besides the syringes
and bottle OF acid, Captain Pumphrey
found little red spots on Cooper's
trousers, showing where the acid had
dropped upon his own clothing. In
the right-hand trousers pocket the
Captain found holes, which Cooper
admitted had been eaten BY the acid.
Cooper, who Is 81 years old, lives
With his wife and two children at 407
North Duncan alley--just In the rear
OF Detective Pohler, one OF his cap
tors. He is paid as much as s91 a
month, he said, and has just finished
buying his home About four years
ago Cooper was arrested by Detecr
tiyes Thomas and Kratz on the charge
Of stealing shoes from one OF the
platforms OF the Adams Express Com
pany. As his wife was III at the time
the charge was stetted-
After being taken to the police
station, the prisoner was questioned
by Captain Pumphrey, chief Of de-
tectives.

Interesting Pension Experimen.
m World 's Work for June.

From Worlds Work for June.
 A large mercantile company, which has branches in nine of our cities, has put into effect an employe's old age pension system which is an interesting experiment. To this the employees them. selves contribute nothing, but all are eligible at sixty years of age if they have served the company for twenty years. Provision, too, is made for those who, at any age, are incapacitated for work at the end of twenty years ser. vice. The amount of pension is based upon the salary of sn employe and the number of years he has served. The salary figured on is the average salary during the five years preceding retire ment, and the pension amounts to per cent. of this, multiplied by the number of years of service. Thus, 8 man whose salary is s2,000 year, upon
 etiring after twenty-five years' ser. vice, will receive pension of $500. The smallest pension to be paid is $500, he largest $l,000; so that the system itrong,y favors those who have received small, or moderate salaries, and who, inable to save as they have gone along nave looked forward to old age witS eonsternation.

Diagnosing the Mob.

 The newspaper or the politician tha, tries to pander to the mob is but fol lowing an ignis fatuus. The mob is acre today and there tomorrow. It acts from impulse, not prineiple-tomorrov t may condemn the thing which it to- lay applauds. It has no reason of it's )wn and refuses to be controlled by .eason.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

A large field is promised for the next guber- material race in Texas Among the latest to an nounce his candidacy for the nomination is Judge William Poindexter of Ceburne. Because the senate appropriations committee would not give him salary of 7,500 year as an employe of the new committee on public ex- penditures, former Senator Henry E. Hans brough of North Dakota has resigned his posi- ton.
 A number of influential democrats of New York, it is asserted are to prepare bill to be submitted to the legislature next winter making amendments to the election law winch will pre- vent the throwing out of rightfully elected del egates to state conventions.
 The 'Recollections of Grover Cleveland, y George F. Parker, author, are to be published next fall, and are to be inscribed to Thomas Fortune Ryan. MT. Cleveland and Mir. Ryan were intimate friends from the day that the former was first nominated for president in 1884,
 The liberal party in Georgia is preparing to put full state ticket in the field in the next election Steps toward organizing for the cam paign have been started under the direction of Sidney C. Tapp, who was the candidate of the liberal party for president during the last pres idental campaign.
 William Lorimer, the new United States sen. ator from Illionis is a native of England. When boy he emigrated to America with his parents and located in Chicago. He received little schooling for he was put to work at an early age to help support the family. After he had grown to manhood he worked for several years as street car conductor. Then he drifted into politics, became ward leader in the Chicago stock yards district, and in real estate and other ventures soon acquired comfortable fortune. For the past fifteen years he has been repre- sentative in congress.
 The city of Colorado Springs has adopted the commission form of government under a charter which abolshes the ward system, eliminates party politics, provides the recall, initiative and referendum and places ample restrictions around the granting of franchises. The char ter is probably the most liberal adopted by any AmeEican' municipality because of the fact that the Colorado legislature gives cities free rer in making their charters. Colorado Springs is the first Colorado city to adopt the commission plan of government, although Pueblo and sev eral other cities are now taking steps to that end.

The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon

TRANsLATED BY MAUDE MARIE.

Hear the instructions of thy mother, oh! 1! my daughter; for of men I have known up ward of fourscore, and in the days of my youth l made collection" thereof. And they were all different!
 Yea, the men of New York and the men of Chicago are not alike: the men of Washing ton and the men of Boston are as black and white; but the men of Philadelphia are nice, and the men of the south are adorable
 l charge thee if thou seeketh good time, pin thy faith to New Yorker For he is spender and he knoweth how to do things. Lo the ordering of dinner, he maketh a work of art; and even though he suffereth from beer pocketbook, yet would he sooner be seen dead than be caught buying aught but champagne. Verify, he shall not offer thee grapefruit when strawberries are in season!
 Yet, if thou are in search of provider, thou shalt find him in Boston, For the Bos- tonian taketh everything seriously, from joke to a woman; and by the time he weddeth he hath not spent all his substance upon cho- rus girls. Nay, the "rainy day" shall never find his wife without an umbrella!
 If thou desireth to marry easily and with out delay, 1 say unto thee go to Philadelphia; for there, marrying and giving in marriage are still in vogue, and wedlock hath not be- come obsolete
 But if thou wantest an artistic proposal, yea, if thou yearnest to be made love unto, take the morning train southward.
 For, whether it be the sun or the moon that effecteth him, I know not, but the southerner would as soon think of not proposing unto a woman as of not removing his hat in her presence. And he consdereth it impoite to neglect any chance to tell a girl that he adore eth her. Yea, and he knoweth how to do it!
 Yet, if thou wantest all of these things, I charge thee, come west, young maid, come west For here thou shalt find spender, and lover, a husband and provider, all in ono man!
 Verify a New Yorker is an ornament, and a Philadelphian is dear, Bostonian is good pal, and a southerner is Romeo; but a westerner is good thing yea, he is a fairy prince! Selah

prominence to assure Globe a sane and certain growth The holdings of the Arizona Commer- ca, the Inspiration, the Miami, the Cactus, the Superior & Boston, and the Iron Cap owned by the National Mining and Exploration company, are among the properties of great promise But they are simply taken as types. There are others equally as good And the number of good ones is being swelled daily Globes pros perity is cumulative Business momentum is gained daily and behind it all is the earnest, in dustrious and enthusiastic citizen body, body of men that is being augmented daily by new corners in search of opportunities.
 Every incoming train brings many new faces, but To! they are new but short time, for Globes army of industry soon enlists their ser vices, and almost before he realizes it, the new conner is no longer a stranger, but an essential working unit in the city development
 The tide of humanity is ever setting towards us. Those who go away are, for the most part workers in search of rest and change of scene for the summer months. And Globe industry has given them the surplus cash with which to get an outing. The return of cooler weather will bring them back again prepared to take up their work with renewed interest and in- creased strength.
 And thus, Globe with her incomparable mines her industrious citizens, her alert business men, is growing with growth constant and rapid toward the goal of being the territorial metrop- oils, toward the 30000 mark-that is the conser- vative estimate of her population three years hence
 Meanwhile, the busy tattoo of the hammer makes sweet music to the ear of every business man, of every loyal booster of Globes best in- terests.
 The trowe and hammer, emblems of ardent industry, wherever the human race makes homes for itself are her royal insignia May they admit her eventually to the ranks of the greater centers of population. The spirit that led our pioneers across the deserts to establish their outposts animates our citizens today. It must ultimately conquer and endure to the point of making Globe the mining mecca of the great southwest.

A SADLY MISTAKEN MINISTER

That is patheticaly misguided and unnec- essarily pessimistic minister out in Indiana who says, "young women care to dance only that they may be hugged." We incline to take this charitable view of this case, because if that is not his ailment, properly diagnosed he is an ut tery mistaken sensationalist, and fails com pletely to comprehend the bouyancy, the sweet ness, and the freshness of youth; and he is not
 in for full enjoyment of the glad June time if that be the case
 It is perfectly natural for youth to find pleas ure in dancing, in singing, and laughing, and seeing the sunny side of things while yet the heart beats young and the blood courses through the veins with vim and snap And there is no harm per SC, in dancing. Like all things human-even preaching harm can be made out of it, and doubtless is, on occasions. But, heavens above, the girl who wants merely to be 'hugged "-to quote the reverend gentle mans rather vulgar word-does not have of any fractional necessity, to seek the ballroom floor that she may be accommodated; and, faith, we think she seldom does She knows, we ap- prehend game worth two of that; and it has to do with shady hooks, and babbling brooks, and hammocks, and discreetly filtered moon light, and all of that, much more abundantly than with ballroom floors and watchful chaper- ons, and lamps that dazzle and this and that or dinarily incident to tripping the light fantastic toe!
 Let's accept the summer girl at her very best and, like true gentlemen, swear she is the sweetest, dearest, loveliest thing alive, and credit to her sex forever. Youth is here just moment; in a twinkling it is gone. If youth would be merry, youth must have the chance If youth would dance and shout for joy, join in, and in some measure renew your own youth, if, perchance you may be getting old
 We do not think this Indiana minister has said anything new. Here and there his croak has been heard before. Indeed, it is heard ever and anon as we gambol through this vale of tears. But nothing much hascome of it. Young folks dance on, and gather the rosebuds while they may, and in turn they pass into the sere and yellow leaf, and others come to take up the song and carry it along unto the uttermost.- 'There is nothing can equal the tender hours
 When life is first in bloom,
 When the heart, like bee in wild of flowers,
 Finds everything perfume;
 When the present is all and it questions not
 If those flowers shall pass away, But pleased with it's own delightful lot
 Dreams never of decay"
