SAN STEFAN0 TREATY
SIGNING OF RUSSO-TURkISH PACT
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Witness Tells of Famous Historical
Event That Occurred on Sunday,
March 8, 1878-Peace or War
Hung in the Balance.

l am inclined to think that l wit,
messed the most impressive sight of
my life Sunday, March 8, 1878, the
day on which the signatures were at,
tached to the treaty of peace between
Russia and Turkey at San Stefano.
In order to arrange terms of peace
an armistice had been declared Janu-
airy 81, and slowly the rumor spread
that when, Sunday, March 8, review
was to take place in honor of the
cars acceptance of the throne, there
was more than possibility that peace
might also be concluded that day. In
consequence, large number of ex-
cursionists from Constantinople ar
rived at San Stefano by steamboat
shortly after dawn, and when, as early
as six in the morning, the whole of
the Imperial guard-a magnificent
body of some $4,000 men-paraded be-
fore the quarters of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, even at that early hour
crowd Of over twenty thousand spec
tstors had assembled.
Slowly the hours passed, and two
o'clock in the afternoon came and
went without any movement from the
house, so that at last the dread fear
began to pervade the expectant watch
ers that even now some difficulty
might have arisen which would pre-
vent the signing of the articles of
peace.
Happily, however, this fear proved
unfounded. War, after all, was not to
break out. The review was delayed
owing to the fact that the grand duke
was waiting for the signatures to be
attached to the treaty, which could
not be done until the Russian and
Turkish copies of that document were
complete.
Whether the delay was caused by
the well known dilatory tactics of the
Turk l know not. The fact remains
however, that 1t was not till close on
five in the afternoon that the grand
duke rode up to the diplomatic
chancery and asked at the door II the
treaty was ready. AS he waited for a
reply the agitation of the crowd grew
80 intense as to almost reach break
ing point. Groups of anxious watchers
whispered nervously: "Is 1t to be
peace or war? Was the PROSTATE and
gasping Turk to be called upon to
once more put up the best defense he
could to the relentless and ever-ad-
vancing Russian forces?"
The grand duke, wheeling sharply
round. galloped OF to the hill on which

IS RELIC OF THE MCE AGE"
National Museum Curator Reports on
Petrified Remains Found in
West Virginia.

Marlinton, w. Va.-A report has
been made by ]. w. Gidley, assistant
curator Of the National museum.
Washington, on the petrified remains
found In blasting the big limestone
cliff at the boundary of the town of
Renick, this county, by the Renick
Stone company. He says: The
speciments are remains of a pig-like
animal known as phatygonus. This
animal is related to the peccary now
living In Central and South Africa;
but was much larger than the present
species. They were very abundant in
the eastern and central United States
during the pleistocene or ice age"

the army was drawn up, and a few
minutes afterward a carriage was
seen rapidly driving toward the spot.
AS he approached the commander
in-chief, General Ignatieff, rose and,
speaking very slowly and distinctly,
said, 81 have the honor to congratulate
your highness on the signature Of
peace"
A roar of satisfaction rose from the
soldiers in the ranks. The grand duke
rode between the lines and, hating on
a small hill, exclaimed: Il have the
honor to inform the army that, with
the help Of God, we have concluded a
treaty Of peace" Again the cheering
rose and swelled, for there was not a
man present who did not experience
feeling of intense relief that all pos.
sibility of a renewal of war was now
at an end.
All the officers then dismounted, the
soldiers knelt and, Of a sudden, a
great hush spread over the crowd
which had only few seconds before
been noisily elated with excitement.

MAN MADE A DARING LEAP
Pittsburgh Iron Worker Has a Close
Call From Death When He
Jumps From Bridge.

Altoona, Pa.-Believing that the
Twelfth street bridge crossing the
Pennsylvania tracks was on fire and
that he was going to be burned up
unless he escaped, w. j. Beale, an
iron worker of Pittsburgh, plunged
from the bridge to the tracks below
and directly in front of an express
train that was pulling out of the Penn.
sylvania station. The mans escape
from death was miraculous.
He sustained only sprained ankle
as the engineer of the train shut off
the power as soon as he saw the map
leaping through the air, and the en-
CINE pushed the man off the tracks
on account of the slow speed at
which 1t was going. Beale was ar
rested for trespassing on the railroad
property, but was later released and
sent home.

put the other two pieces of 1x4 just
opposite the ones already on, then
put the other 2x4 on the side where

BARS SUGAR AND HAS HEIR
Former May Goelet Attributes Sex of
Baby to Following Advice of
Doctor Schenck.

London-A son was born to the
duchess of Robburghe. The baby is a
boy principally because his mother,
who was Miss May Goelet of New
York, ate no food containing sugar for
months before his advent.
In announcing the birth of an heir
the duke of Roxburghe admitted that
his wife had practiced a form of eu-
genics and said that they both attrib-
uted the sex of the newborn infant to
this fact. The duchess went to vi

SHEEP ON CHICAGO MARKET
Westerns Come From Ranges, While
Natives Are Raised in the Central
and Eastern States.

The greater number of sheep reach
ing Chicago market are produced on
the western ranges and are known as
western sheep. The sheep produced
usually in small Hocks-on the
farms Of the central and eastern
states are called natives. Western
sheep bear evidence Of Merino blood
which may be noted in the fneness
and compactness of their wool, &C.
casional folds or wrinkles on their
necks, and the fine silky appearance of
the hair on their faces and legs. AS
a rule, Merino blood is less evident in
the sheep of the native flock. How.
ever, many producers of natives are
purchasing native ewes, and their
lambs are almost identical in breeding
with that of many western lambs, but
there are differences due to feed and
management which are readily de-
tected by men on the market
The number of lambs received by
the markets greatly exceeds the num-
Der of the sheep. Before the west
turned to mutton production the re-
verse was true, but now it is estimated
that lambs constitute so per cent. of
the total receipts of the Chicago and
other large markets.
Not only has there been a change in
the relative number of lambs mar
keted, but there has also been a
change in distribution of the lambs
through the different seasons. For
merly the fiocks were on the market
during the summer and early autumn
months only, but now they are re-
ceived every week in the year. AS
the larger numbers received would in
dictate, lambs are preferred by the
consumer, and this even distribution.
Of them throughout the year has
greatly stimulated consumption.

Anyone in an hours time can make

PROTECTION FOR LIVE STOCK
Cost of Tightening Up Stables Is
Small Compared With Loss Caus-
ed by Lack Of Shelter.

Now is the time for the farmer to
see that his stock is protected from
frosty nights and chilly winds. The
cost of tightening up the stables is
but a trife compared with the loss
made by stock that goes unprotected.
1t requires a great amount of feed
to keep up the animal heat, to over
come the chilly winds.
Probably the best spent time and
money in the farmers output at this
time Of year is that used in preparing
to better fake care of his livestock.
Don't delay this but attend to 1t at
once, for it may mean the difference
between profit and loss
II you cannot give the proper care
to an of your livestock, then select the
best of the animals for your own
breeding and feeding and sell the bal
ance at the very best prices that you
can obtain.
Get rid Of 1t, however; better take
a small loss at the present time than
a much larger one later on because
the stock is In poor condition.
All stock that is to go to market can
be fattened at less expense before
cold weather sets in,
When new animals are to be pur.
chased the early buyers get the
choice.
The knowledge gained in this way
will be of great value in making your
selections, as one breeder seldom Wis
its another without gaining some In
formation.
