In keeping sweet potatoes through the winter months, or from harvest till harvest time again, a few essentials of success must be borne in mind. 1. The potatoes must be fully matured when dug. 2a They must be dug before frost, if practicable, or as soon "there- after as possible, or at any rate before the crown of the potato becomes frost bitten. A potato that is cold bitten cannot and will not keep. d. lhey must be kept clear of frost, rain and moisture rising fronT below. 4. They should be covered lightly until they have gonethrough their sweat, and are thor ouehlv dry, putting on more cover as the weather grows colder, until by the time severe weather sets m they should be sufficient dry dirt above and around them to effectually exclude all frost. , One fact to which we wish to call special attention is that more potatoes are lost annually tavough wrapping them up in their winter coat too early and keeping them "loo warm than are lost bvlundue exposure to cold. In handling them use boxes, never baskets Sort out all that are cut, broken, bruised or abraded for immediate use. They may ge feed to hogs, cows and even horses. They may be kept in bank. It is advisable not to bank exceeding fifty bushels ia any single pile. They may be cellared in bulk or in baivelsii, boxes bins or hogsheads, the interstices filled with dry Band or any dry fine dust the cellars to beTlry and 'airy and clear of frost. In the absence of sand or diy fine dirt, chaff, ctit hay or straw, cotton seed- motes from the gin, or even the eaves will answer, In cellaring them, the smaller the piles, the easier they can be looked through and any rotten ones taken out. In banking it is best to disturb the bank as little asl possible. After pota toeslare once dry, after going through their sweat, if any of them rot it is us ually a dry-rot, and does not spread to any great extent. A moderate amount of dampness does not hurt them, but water standing around them either in the field, while growing, or after they are banked away, causes them to sour when they speedily rot. - G. II. T. A Kentucky Tragedy. Ashland, Ky., Dec. 6. A tragedy that will end in the loss of three lives occurred last night at a small hamlet called Fult, thirty miles from here. For six months Thomaa James, a whiskey peddler, representing nimseii to be a cattle drover, has been clandestinely meeting the daughter of farmer George Fultz. The parents suspicious as to the condition of the girl were confirmed, by her coniessipn. lhe father, . his son George, and a son-in-law went in Bearch of James. He was "found at, church, where a rivival was being held. When the farmer took him aside trouble soon oegan. luitz was instantly killed y a bullet through the heart. The sons then took a hand and when the pistols were emptied the younger Fultz was also mead and the son-in-law, John Pbyl"s, was mortally wounded, a 'jullet having passed through his head. James escaped injuvy apparently ashe vaulted over a fence into the underbrush and escaped. A posse was made up to hvnt the murder and instant chase was given The hunt lasted the rest Qf the jught but was fruitless. The posse spent all of today in the search, and dogs w'U be brought m tomorrow. Fultz had large family connection ana most of tae posse are his relatives. . The daughter is in danger of becoming hopelessly in sane- " ' The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers? ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life.

Charleston (S. C ) Daily Sun. It is written iMthe terse, epigrammat ic style characteristic of Mr. Cleveland and familiar to newspaper readers.

The labor Question cannot much longer be brushed awav as it has been in the past.

The President's CaUers. - : Pbiladelphla Times. The favored few who are permitted to enter the White House on New Kear's day witness remarkable scenes . which are without parallel in the world. The decoiations are elaborate! the toilets of the ladies are brilliant and. wonderful to behold; the -uniforms of the diplomats are indescribable for gorgeousness, not to say garishness. But the crowd out side can see them all as they enter, and the strains of music by the marine band are wafted across the wide lawns. The officers of the army and navy march from the state, war and navy department bulidings, clad in all the panoply of .war with clicking spurs and clanking swords. The robed justices and bedecked diplomats come in car riages, but the people who line the pave ments and press their noses through the iron fences can see and hear every thing. It is better, bf course, to be on the inside, where there are . light, warmth and good cheeer, but the peo ple can see enough to satisfy them any way, and not less than 10,000 of them will gather to observe the greatness and splendor of the New Year's reception from afar. , When the officers of the army and navy appear, there will be in their lines only one of the characters of the late , civiL war Major Schoolfield, command- ing the army, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, Wright, Porter, Farragut, Foote and other military and naval he roes used to attend these receptions, but they have marched over the brow of the hill of time and are resting under the shadows of the trees of eternity. They have attended the reception of the grand army on the other shore and in the palaces of the land of the leal. Well, after it is all over the president will nave stood in one position for about two hours and will have taken the bands of 1,200 officials and about 3,000 other callers of prominence. He will then probably adjourn to his family dining room to enjoy a New Year's dinner , As I said at first, it is a great day and a great occasion, but it makes the presi dent tired and weary, just as it would any other mortal with limited physical capacities. Should Senators be Elected by the People. B -Seo ;r Geo.--e F. Edmonds, la tbe I'omai. The hew school of constitution makers say that they think the Senate has become a body of rich men who gained their places by corrupting legis latures in a pecuniary way. But to any one acquainted with the personality of the Senate as it has existed for a genera tion and is now, such a statement is mown to be absolutely destitute of foundation. The proportion of, rch men in the Senate is not greater than that which e.-;sis in every State and cotnmuaUy in the whole country where the honors and responsibilities of pub ic orBce are shared ahke by the rich, the xjomCoi table and toe poor. As a perfect millenn"um bas not yet been reached, it is doubtless t ne that some (but very few) men have seen ed elect.'bn as senators by pecuniary persuasions, or, to put it roughly, have "bought thlr places" with ;money a crime of the woi-st character both in the buyer and in the seller. Bnt alas, this is not a peculiarity belonging to the office of senator alone. It has happened equally or more often in elections to the House of Representatives, as well as in State and municipal elections. A legislative election of senators, therefore, is not the cause of this great evu. In the nature of things, it must be worse in popula r elections, for the- members of a legislature must, ia the choice of the senator, vote openly so that the consti tuents know whether or not their rep resentatives have followed the general judgment of the particular communities they represent a matter of vital .ua portance in all sepresentative" govern ment. But i a popular elections, where each citizen is acting in hia personal character only, it is equally important that he may be bribed in spit of every precaution that the law may adopt to prevent it. A BavdMUiske. Governor Hogg, of Texas, has just pardoned B. A. Krebbs and James Preston, who were serving a life term in the penitentiary for murder. - The two men were convicted on what ap eared to be the best possible evi dene, but after eighteen years: im prisonment it has been discovered that ibe crime for which they were punished was committed oy two other persons who fled iiom the state. The discharged prisoners will doubt less comploin that belated vindi cation does them very little good. They are in feeble health and are over seven ty years old. For eighteen years they have borne their disgrace and Jiave suffered in silence, all the world. believ ing them guilty. What compensation will they get now for this mistake of justicer .Broken in health, wrecked in fortune, their loved ones scattered or dead, .life must offer them very few attractions. If justice makes such mistakes in the courts, it must strike everybody that lynch law makes stiu more, serious blunders. Suppose Krebbs and Preston had been lynched? Then it would have been impossible to rectify the mistake, As it is, Texas should see to it that her innocent victims ar taken care of for the remainder of their Jives. They should not leave the prison for a wretch ed existence of poverty and starvation. They should be provided for. The directors of the Sugar trust have just declared a regular quarterly, divi. dend of 3 per cent. This does not seem to indicate that that organization is in such desperate straits as President Havemeyer has been trying to make Congress and the people - believe. A concern, that divides 12 per cent, an nually among its stockholders on an enormously inflated capital is. not one that needs help from the government in order to protect its poor employees. v Cora I was surprised when Mr. de Jinks came to pay the compliments of the season, - . - ..

HartweU.tSa., Sim. - An unusual incident occured at the close of Sam Jones' sermon at Pulaski the other day. Stepping down from the pulpuV folding his hands across his breast and looking solemnly over the audience, the great revivalist said : "I want all the women in this crowd who have not spoken a harsh word or harbored an unkind thought toward their husbands for a month to stand up." One old woman, apparently on the shady side of 50, stood up. -"Come forward and give me your hand," said the preacher. The woman did so, whereupon Jones said tit . - ' "Nlw turn around and let this au dience the best looking woman in the country." v v . . .. After taking her seat the revivalist addressed the man : . . ' "Now I want, all the men in this crowd who have not spoken a harsh word or harbored an unkind thought toward their wives for a month past to stand up." Twenty-seven great big strapping fel lows hopped out of the audience with all tbe alacrity of champagne corks. "Come forward and give me your bands, my dear boys." Jones gave eacn one a vigorous shake, after which he ranged all of them side by side in front of the pulpit and facing the audience. He looked them over carefully and solemnly, and then, turning around to the audience he said : "I want you all to take a good look at the twenty-seven biggest liars in the State of Tennessee." A Strange Character. - Pukta Gorda, Fla., December 6. Ollie Brackett, 4 woman known all over Florida as "Big Six," died here today. For twelve years "Big Six" has mas queraded as a woman, and yet it has been discovered that she was a man. "Big Six" had been ill at Punta Gorda for a month and while in that condition the doctors discovered that she was a man. In May, 1892, "Big Six" was married to Wiliam Patrick, at Tampa. They separated twenty-four hour after the wedding. The strangest part of the case is that "Big Six" could masquerade as a demi-monde "and deceive so many men. There was never a hint that she was not a woman until she became ill a month ago. .. "Big Six" was six feet three inches high and weighed fully 200 pounds. When drunk she was a holy terror and has thrashed policemen in every city in Florida. While delirious before she did, she gave her name as George As- bell, of Gadsden, Ala. She came to Jacksonville twelve years ago dressed as a woman and acted as a nurse lor a time until she took to evil courses.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report DOClOBS' FEES PAID BY ROYALTY, Dr. Oeo. F.Shrady, In tbe Forum. Some of the fees paid by royalty have been eminently befitting the giver and taker. The late physician to the Prince of Wales received for four weeks' atten-1 dance at Sandringham, during the ill-: ness of his distinguished patient from typhoid fever, not only the usual itle of baronet, but a fee of $10,000. Sir ' Morell Makenzie is reported to have re ceived more than twice this amount for his treatment of the late Emperor Fred erick of Germany. Dimsdale a promi nent practitioner of London in 1762, was called thence to St. Petersburg to vacinate the Empress Catherine II., for which he received not only the equiva lent of $50,000, but an extra $10,000 for travelling expenses, the title of baron and a life pension of $2,500 year ly. His Royal Hignness the Nawab of Rampur, India, recently paid an Eng lish army surgeon 50,000 for a three months occasional attendance in an ordinary attack of rheumatism. "The late Sir Andrew Clarke, Gladstone's physician, often charged $1,000 for running down from London to Liver pool, and the late Sir William Gull commanded equally high rates for similar services. A Russian surgeon charged a wealthy notable of Odessa $6,000 for opening an abscess of the hip, the time occupied being abont ten minutes. And better still, while on the same visit, he took a chance shot at another patient in the shape of a simi larly simple operation, for which he re ceived nearly $1,500 more, certainly enough extra to pay the fee of the rail way porter on his homeward journey. But m all this it is not so much the doing as the knowing how to do. When the French peasant said that there were not ten francs', worth of paint on Rosa Bonheu's "Horse Fair," he was incapa ble of valuing high art. "Five dollars for amputating the leg," said the sur geon, "and nine hundred and ninety five for knowing how," and the victim was thankful accordingly.
