A New York man was taken

The Speakership of the House
of Representatives will go to
Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, by
common consent. For the other
offices of the House a 'scramble
is inevitable, but so far as the
Chief Clerkship is concerned
the scramble seems to be over
already, with Ex-Congressman
McDowell, of Pennsylvania, an
easy winner.
.Labor fools away its power
and its opportunities. It has no
business to organize except for
the real benefit of the men and
women who support to the or
ganization, and every misuse of
the power of an oaganization is a
fraud, all the more cruel and dis
honorable because it is perpetrat
ed on the pretext of serving the
interests of laoor.
Mr. E. C. Benedict declares
his belief that Mr. Cleveland wil
not accept a third term. He is a
near and dear friend of the Presi
dent's, and ought to know. But
on the other hand, Mr. Morton,
who is a member of the Presi
dent's Cabinet, is at the head of
the third-term movement, and is
assisted by quite a number of
Mr. Cleveland's appointees. How
ever, tne resident will soon
send his message to Congress
and if he is going to retire it will
be the easiest and most natural
thing in the world for him to
drop a delicate hint to the effect.
So let us wait until we see Lis
message; otherwise we are for
him.
Senator Frye's concern for the
woolen mills is almost pathetic.
"They must stand the present
two years longer," he says; "if
they survive this period they will
do better than 1 expect." Per
haps the fortitude and the sues
cess ox our shoemakers in get
ting along with free leather, of
our silk and cotton mills with
untaxed fibres, may sustain the
woolen manufacturers who have
had free wool thrust upon them
Should these examples not en
courage them they can look for
hope to the steady prosperity of
their chief competitors in free
trade England and protection
Germany, neither of which has
ever had the sustaining help of
limited selections of taxed wools.
We wonder in Senator Frye real
ly knows what a humbug he is?
The Philadelphia Press ex
presses the opinion that the re
election of Mr. Don Cameron to
the Senate of the United States
is not possible unless the people
of Pennsylvania are far more in
different than it is conceivable
they can be. It is possible how
ever, that in predicting the de
feat of Mr. Cameron the Press
may be just as much out of its
reckoning as it was a short time
ago when it claimed that Mr.
Quay could not possibly wi a in
nis contest for the State Chair
manship of his party. The mem
bers of the Cameron family have
been very successful in their po
litical manipulations in the Key
stone State for more than half a
century, and if the present repre
sentative of that family decide to
enter the race for the Senatorial
succession he can be relied upon
to perform very effective work
when the time for action arrives
If American hop growers can
export 17,000,000 pounds a year
or much more than one-third
of their crop selling these ex
ported hops in England in open
competition with the hops of all
other countries, without any
tariff protection whatever, why
do they need any protective tariff
tc enable them to overcome here
at home the competition of the
same foreign growers?

Not to the PoorHouse-
A life insurance policv is not a siirn-
bjard pointing widow and children to
the poor house.
A strong life insurance company with
millions of dollars is a good friend for
a man to leave his family in charge of
after his death.
The most successful business men
carry policies for large amounts of life
insurance. They believe life insurance
is a good investment.
A policy on the 10, 15, or 20 year
plan, rapidly becomes a valuable piece
of property. It is said that one of the
richest men in North Carolina would
have failed during the panic of 1893,
had it not been for his life insurance
policies.
ihe Home Life Insurance Comoanv
of New York, for more than a third of a
century has been engaged in its great
work. The Home Life is one of the
strongest and best companies in the
world, while its policies are plain con
tracts, containing a numDer 01 advant
ages not onered by other companies.
Full information will be cheerfullv fur

The Albany railway was one of
the first street railroads of the country
to adopt the freight car service. The
cars were put on the road last Septem

cars run.

AFTER EATING ONIONS.
(ttr. Rusk Sussests Something That Will
Jane the Breath Away.
"Uncle Jerry" Rusk-, wh
of agriculture, met a friend in Fif
teenth street, Washington, one day.
The friend looked puzzled and some
what depressed.
"What's the matter with you?" asked
"Uncle" Jerry.
"I'm in a quandary about an impor
tant matter," said the friend. "May
be you can help me out '
"Well," said the secretary, "what is
it?"
"I don't know," said the friend,
"whether I ever told you that I am
subject, at intervals, to the wildest
cravings for beefsteak and onions. It
has all the characteristics of a con
firmed drunkard's craving for rum.
This craving struck me a few minutes
ago, and I at once determined to grat
ify it when dinner time came. Then I
suddenly recalled that I had promised
to call this evening on some ladies who
are here from my home, and I must
keep that promise. Yet my stomach is
shouting for beefsteak and onions,
and I am wavering between duty and
appetite."
"Can't you wait until after the call?"
asked "Uncle" Jerry solicitiously.
"Never," said the friend earnestly.
"Can't you postpone the call?"
"Impossible," said the friend.
"Well," said "Uncle" Jerry, "I'll tell
you what to do. When dinner time
comes you go up to John Chamberlin's
and get your beefsteak and onions and
eat 'em. When you get your check it
Will be so big that it will take your

PRODUCTION OF MEERSCHAUM
Where Soma Rich Deposits of the Qnaei
Snbstsnoe Are Found.
Mr. Cumberbatch, British consul at
Anatora, in his latest report, says that
rich deposits of meerschaum are found
twenty miles to the southeast of Eskl
Shehir, an important station of the
Anatolian railway. The Belgian con
buI in Constantinople, who recently
visited the place, etates that it woulcl
be difficult to determine the exact
arena in which the meerschaum is to
be found. .Tn A (rin rr frATn "hft nnmYia
,' of pits at considerable distances from
eacn oxner, it must De extensive.
The meerschaum is extracted In tha
same way as coal. Pits from twenty
five to one hundred and twenty feet
deep are dug, and as soon as the vein 1
struck horizontal galleries, sometimes
of considerable length, are made, but
more than two galleries are seldom to
be found in one pit. The stone as ex
tracted is called "ham tash," or rough
block, and is soft enough to be easily
cut with a knife. It is white, with a
yellowish tint, and is covered with a
red, clayey soil of about one Inch
thick. In this state the blocks are
purchased by dealers on the spot, not
by weight or measurement, but ac
cording to approximate quantity,
either per load of three sacks or per cart
load.the price varying from fi ve to thirty
pounds sterling per load, according to
quality. These blocks are dried and
subjected to certain preparations be
fore being conveyed to Eeki Shehir.
Some of them are as small as a walnut,
while others attain the siz rf a nnTif
foot. Those which combine regularity
ui ouriaue unu size are tne oest. The
manipulation required before they are
ready for exportation is Ions' anrJ most
ly. The clayey soil is removed and the
meerschaum dried. In summer ex
posure for five or six davs to the Rrm'a,
rays suffices, but in winter a room
neaiea 10 tne required temperature is
necessary, and the drvintr nrnxooo.
takes eight or ten days.
When dried the blocks are well
cleaned and polished, then they are
sorted into about twelve r.la

beparate cases, and each block being
wrapped in cotton wool. The linllr
the meerschaum Is sent to "Vienna,
where it is worked, and dispersed all
over the world. Most of the finest
specimens are sent direct to Paris. Cer-
i.iiH American dealers have visited Eskl
Shehir with the object of obtaining the
raw material 'direct instead of through
Vienna, thereby saving the higher cus
tom house duty payable on the worked
meerschaum. The auant.it.T7- m
exported is put down at eight thousand
to ten thousand cases. The various
taxes levied by the Tarkish government,
amount to about thirty-seven per cenU.

CRIPPLES WERE HEALED '
An Amusing Incident or Semi-Barege
Knle In Hawaii.
Judge Austin of Hilo relates some In
tel ssting experiences of his own while
seeretary to Princess Ruth in 1854. At
that time she was the governess of
Hawaii.
He had been appointed secretary,
says the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
but with orders from Kamehameha III.,
that Kcclikolani should never inter
fere with his work. In that year there
"jn.s a large gathering of the natives at
Kailua, commanded to assemble by her
in order to explain to the people the,
tax laws and to enforce the payment of
taxes. A large Ianai was provided, in.
which the meeting took place, and sho:
proposed to address them.
It was the unwritten law that thai
very old and infirm, all cripples and in
curables should be exempt from taxa
tion. The natives were unwilling to.
pay taxes, so they prepared for thai
meeting.
