SANE FOURTH WRECKS
BIG FIREWORKS COMPANY.
Largest Concern In the Land Goes to
the Wall.

Agitation for a noiseless Fourth of
July has wrecked the Pain Manufac-
turing company of New York, the
largest and best known of the fire
works companies of the United States.
The spread of the movement for a
sane Fourth is the reason given by
the majority of the directors of the
company for it's present improbable
condition.
Claimants for more than $500,O00
damages for accidents and fatalities
against the company are affected by
its insolvency. According to the pc
tition, only $4,000 unincumbered as
sets remain to pay $145,000 of claims.
There Is only $23.9S in the treasury at
the present time, the directors say, to
pay the claims, and the rent for the
eompanys quarters is long overdue.
What forced them to take the steps
for dissolving the corporation, the di-
rectors say, was a judgment for $211
which they had no means to satisfy.
"The reason" the directors assert,
"for the condition of the company Is
shat the business conducted by the
corporation does not begin until June
and runs for several months. The
main business is done around and i'm
mediately previous to the Fourth of
July of each year. But for the last
few years and since the movement for
what is commonly known as the sane
Fourth has spread over the country
the volume of business of the compa-
nv has steadily decreased"

DON'T BE UNREASONABLE.

It's unreasonable to expect a stand
ard bred bird for song. Many do.
A correspondent offered 81 for a
pure bred standard weight Barred
Rock cock weighing nine and one-half
pounds when the meat only was
worth 16 cents per pound.
But he wasn't just market chicken,
for his owner had spent money and
time to make him pure bred beauty,
a prolific breeder of fine stock.
The same with eggs.
Eggs are not 'jest aigs" when they
come from pure bred, bon ton, beauti-
full Biddies, and they can't be bought
for song either. Take the advice of
one who has bought and sold lots of
eggs and stock:
Allow a fancier a reasonable profit,
Be satisfied to pay good price for
good article.

"THE SAVAGE LAND0R."
Australian Paper Recounts New Rus
sian Invasion.

Australian Paper Recounts New Rus
sian Invasion.
A recent copy of the Melbourne
Australia) Times contains the follow
ing news dispatch under st. Peters
burg date:
A savage landor got into ST. Petersburg
yesterday, and the people Of the city were
terrified. After considerable difficulty the
beast. which came from Tibet, was cap
tured. taken to remote place and there
dispatched 1t is said that this is the
first animal of the sort ever seen In Rus
sia. How he reached the city after his
fights with the natives Of Tibet, which is
a comparatively unknown country, is
mystery.
A copy of the Manila Bulletin
shows the bald telegraphic dispatch
from which the foregoing was devel-
oped to have been as follows: SAY
age landor arrived petersburg from
tibet suffering hands natives"
Exchanges received from London
contain the information that A. Say
age Landor. the explorer, had arrived
at ST. Petersburg from Tibet after suf-
fering greatly at the hands of the ma
tiveS.

The international Insurrection.

In Mexico from morning until night
He led the insurrectos in the fight,
Shouting, "Vva libertad!"
All the weapons that he had
mite.
At wrecking bridges he was surely great.
He tore up every railroad in the state.
Oh, patriot was he.
Although he turned out to be
An American and Harvard graduate!
Here's another insurrecto boldly swoops
Down upon a body of federal troops.
He filled them with alright,
And he smote them left and right,
And while he fights he wildly yells and
whoops.
And already he has won a lasting fame.
At maneuver or at rally
He is one grand hot tamale,
And Giuseppe Garibaldi is his name.
One morning when the fighting all was
done
And the troops were cheering for the VIC
tory won
Stretched out upon the sand
With a saber in his hand
They found their leader lying in the sun.
He was only slightly wounded in the knee,
So they carried him until they found
tree,
Laid him in a shady place,
Washed the dust from off his face
And he proved TO be Matsuro Hokichi.
When we read of the exploits of comrades
three
We did not even guess who they could be-
But, like the musketeers
Whose memory endears,
They are noted for their skill and brav-
cry.
But the news We got from Mexico one day
H., Ia,
fray.
How they battled side by side
By the Rio Grande's tide.
AID we found their names were Kelly,
Burke and Shea,
Richard Linthicum = New York World.

ELECTION UN!TES BROTHERS.
Railroad President and Bricklayer En-
brace After Fifty Years.

brace After Fifty Years.
Charley, do you remember the time
took you on horseback to the dentist
and you had a tooth pulledT asked
John Markham, an aged bricklayer of
Hopkinsville, Ky, of Charles Mark
ham, new president of the Illinois Cen
tral railroad, when they met in Mem
phis recently for the first time since
boyhood.
The railroad president replied, eyes,
do, and you are my long lost brother"
With this query and answer the
brothers clasped each other and tears
flowed. John Markham had not seen
his brother since he left him to join
the army in the civil war.
John Markham did not know any
thing about the whereabouts of his
brother until the latter was elected
head of the Illinois Central. He at once
got in touch with him, and the Mem
phis meeting was arranged.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

In SNiND
In some parts of Pennsylvania the
shooting matches and raffles made
fowls scarce in the winter months.
Fifty turkeys were disposed of at
York, Pa, at one rattle. Raf1les are
unlawful, and fortune wheels, booze
and betting that are found at neerly
all shoots make them little better.
Hatfield, Pa, is becoming famous
for its annual turkey auction. They
are gathered there by one dealer and
auctioned off at highest prices to deal
ers. This year there were 5000 tur-
keys and 1000 chickens and ducks, all
sold at fair prices. They are mostly
gathered from Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia
AS a solution of the cotton boil wee
vii it has been proved in Texas that
drove of turkeys cleans them up
and wakes fat. Now watch for a big
revival Of the turkey industry in Dixie.
Those who use corrosive sublimate
for mites should be warned of its very
poisonous nature. A little of the spray
in the eye will often destroy the sight.
Do not perform a postmortem on
fowl If your hands have cuts or sores.
Poultry often dies from the worst
forms of blood poison. Handling a
case of fowl diphtheria has resulted
In deep sores on the hands and body.
White Indian Runner ducks and
White Leghorns are the go in Califor-
mia. White eggs are all the call in her
market as in New York, but Boston
still pays extra for brown-Browning
of course.
The rage for brown shelled eggs in
| English markets is so great that other
colors are hard to sell. To meet the
fads they dye the shells, just as some
orange growers put on that stylish rus
! set tinge.
Two men in Ashland, Pa, had a war
of words, and the one accused the 9TH
er of stealing all the chickens in Ma
hantongo valley. He at once sued for
$1,000 damages, won a verdict of 6
cents and had to pay $125 costs, Not
much to crow over!
In Alaska they call a mallard duck
an anas puyraynchose. In the swell
restaurant they call cooked guinea a
mallard duck.
Many fanciers were so beaten by the
express companies on shipments of
show birds to the Alaska exposition
that they swore that was their last.
When you ship market fowls be sure
to demand their rate or they'll charge
for fancy stock.

tuberculosis Sanitoria.


As an investment in the health Of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance COM
panies In the United States have es-
tablished sanatoria for the treatment
Of tuberculosis, according to state
ment issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis. The Royal League, the
first fraternal order to establish a
sanatorium, conducts a hospital for
its tuberculous members at Black
Mountain. The Modern Woodmen of
America conducts one at Colorado
Springs; the Workmen's Circle, one
at Liberty, N. Y, and the Independent
Order of Foresters have one at Rain
bow Lake, N. Y, and will soon open a
second one at San Fernando, Cal. The
International Typographical Union has
since 1898 conducted a sanatorium at
Colorado Springs, and the Interna
tional Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants Union of America has recently
opened a new institution at Rogers
vile, Tenn. A leading life insurance
company is now erecting a sanator-
fum at Mt. McGregor, N. Y, which will
be the first of its kind established
by an "old line" insurance company.

for sheep having no adaptation to anything except

the American people were pre-eminently nation

been for this in the past 1t certainly ceased years

consequently will Craze probably semi-arid

There was an old couple in the vii

One day, when found them sitting,
one on each side Of the fire, the old
man said to me:
well, t. missis and me, we've been
