HOSCOE CONK LING.
The dispatches today bring the sad
news of the death of Mr. Conkling. Al
though it has been expected all along
that each day the announcement of his
death would be made, still it is a shock
to the country. Mr. Conkling was :i
magnificent specimen of mankind, and
his friends did not until late yesterday
afternoon admit that hope of his recovery
was gone.
Mr. Cookling was a man of marked
characteristic a .very positive man; a
man of intense likes and dislikes. He
was a man who never deserted, and a foe
who never turned his back. Withal. ar,d
this none will deny, he was an honest
man. During lis long public life no one.
even in the heat of political contention,
ever charged dishonesty against him. IIi.
death will be widely and sincerely mourn
ed. The Republicans of Maryland adopted
resolutions by the State League at Balti
more last Friday, that are unconiproniic
ingly in favor of protection, and favor
large reductions in the internal revenue
taxes.
The Mormon elders and apostles have
evidently abandoned the idea of securing
Utah's Admission as a State by pretending
they have removed the doctrine of poly
gamy. One of ths loudest talkers in the
Mormon conference, now being hi Id at
Salt Like City, declares that polygamy i
a fundamental law of of their religion,
and is the man who was recently pardoned
o'H of tli3 penitentiary by President
Cleveland, anl boasts of the fact that he
suffered "martyrdom" rather than to sur
render his belief in the right of a Mormon
. to have as many wives as he likes.
Mr. Phelps, who has come over from
London to enjoy a brief vacation that he
has fairly earned, talks interestingly on
a variety of topics ia the interviews
that were recently had with him. He
puts at rest the gossip about the possibil
ity tlfat he may be the successor of Chief
Justice Waite by saying that his name
will be mentioned in connection with the
appointment. lie naturally approves
the Fisheries Treaty, and he hopes that
both it and the Extradition Treaty will
be ratified. On the question of vIIome
Rale in Ireland be is non-committal. v It
is gratifying to note that our Minister
has not become so much of an English
man by his residence abroad as not to ba
able to re-ent Mr. Arnold' strictures on
thing-. American. He pronounces Mr.
Arnold's statements unfair and unjust
'cw York Tribune. ;
Even in Great Britain the income tax
is unpopular. For many years past it
has been one of the chief sources of rev
enue in that country, amounting in 1887,
with the property tax, to about $80,000,
000, as compared with $100,000,000 from
customs duties and $130,000,000 from
internal taxes. Mr. Goschen, the Chan
cellor of the Kxchequar, proposes to re
duce this tax, although he creates other
imposts to enable him to lower thisbne.
The attitude of the present Chancellor
towards that tax does not differ mater
ially rota that of moit of his more re
cent predecessors. The difficulties in the
way of the thorough and honest collec
tion of this tax are fewer in England
than they were in this country during
the war or than they would be now.
The American Congressmen who desire
to secure the passage of a new income-tax
law would do well to inquire into the
working of the act during the period in
which it was on our national statute
book. Globs Democrat.

The Burmnn a rather peculiar feeder,
not lx-inK very nice in his selection or
preparation of food. He is not, however,
so varied n caterer, nor does he take in
such ti larse selection, as his near relation
the Chinaman. The Burman draws the
line at rats and mice, which delicacies
form no portion of his daily fare. Ho is
forbidden by his religion to shed the blood
of any animal for food purposes alone,
although he may and does catch li.sh, and
eats them. His conscience finds a salve
in the fact that after the fisti are caught
they are left to die; he will not bleed
them, although li3 may often give them a
sly knock on tha head to accelerate their
decease. He may keep cattle, hogs,
chickens, etc., and, bcim? of a kind and
humane disposition, he feeds them well,
keeping them in good condition, but he
does not do so to replenish his larder. He
uses the milk of the cows, often of tho
tame long horned buffalo or of goats, for
his family or for salo; he will also eat ihe
eggs of fowls. San Francisco Chronicle.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be aillicted? If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria arc intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
froai a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.

VANDERBILT'S MAJOR DOMO.
IIU Theory of Dining mam Fine Art TUs)
Advantay lie Claims.
Joseph Dngnfol, the cook to whom it ia
said Mr. W. K. Vandcrbllt Is to give $10,
000 a year, is a well built little man only
about five feet tall. He was born in Bir
mingham, England. He looks like an
Englishman, and speaks the language
with a strong cockney accent, and he has
an Englishman's love for boxing, and uses
the slang of the ring. His parents, he
says, were French.
"If I were rich enough not to have to
work," he said, "I should still do my
business for the love of it. I am an
artist, and I have invented a new school
of dining. Because a man is rich he can
not eat more than a poor man, and yet the
idea of a fine dinner has been to give a
great number of courses. It Is a mistake
When a man has eaten his oysters, his
soup, his entrees, his fish, what chance
has he to enjoy his mutton or fowl?
When he has eaten all, his stomach is
so!" and lie raised his hat with both
hands slowly above hitj head to indicate
the effect of the fullness.
'I make him want to cat. First he
must be hungry, and then I put things
before him so that he wants them. If I
want him to eat oranges, for instance, I
offer them to his neighbor. He sees them
and asks for them."
He comes from the Maison Paillard, in
the Chaussee d'Antin. "It is only & little
place," he said, "with only sixteen tables.
When I went there the business was all
run down. I built it up by treating each
person as if he were my guest, and study
ing his tastes." .
The little director is an autocrat at the
table. He does not let his guest3 have
whatever they like, for fear it may clog
their appetites. "I make them ask for
things and keep them waiting. Suppose
I have served a dinner like this today: A
soup, some fish, and a woodcock, with
coffee and fruit. To-morrow my customer
asks for woodcock. 'I am sorry, sir, but
I cannot prepare it.' But in a day or two
he will ask for it again, and then I let him
have it. If I let him tire of anything,
then my art would be gone."
A great advantage which Mr. Dugniol
claims for his system is that it leaves him
so much greater variety of food to oiler on
different days. "Suppose," he said, "I
cook everything that is to be had for one
great dinner, what is there for to-morrow?"
It is not to be suppose! from this lan
guage inai josepu is goi 10 cooit any
thing with his own hands. lie does not
even profess to be able to do this, although
his father was a restaurateur and Joseph
grew up in the business.
"I can cook many things," he said,
"and I can carve as few men can, but 1
can tell tho cook how to prepare his food
and warn him if he has failed to secure
the proper flavor."
It may be interesting to know how
Joseph will serve a woodcock to Mr. Yan
derbilt. It will be cooked only ten min
utes before it is brought on the table. "I
will bring it on while the fish is being
eaten, and I have an alcohol brasier on
the table. It has a sauce of red wine and
gravy in it. I carve the bird and put all
the bones and back into the sauce. The
odor and appearance of the bird excites
the appetite. It takes twenty-flve min
utes to cook a woodcock. The bird has
only been cooked ten minutes when I
carve it. Now I send the meat back to
the ovep for fifteen minutes, and the back
and the bones, in which the richest flavor
is found, are left to stew. When the meat
comes back it is on a hot plate, and I
strain the rich sauce over it." New iTork
Sun.
Following a Slight Mistake.
It is surprising to know that a great
failure of a business house will sometimes
follow the very slight mistake of a clerk.
Only a short time ago I feared we would
have to record an unpleasant occurrence
of this kind in St. Louis. Two young men
are doing a prosperous wholesale business
here, in whose house a small error hap
pened recently, which mightrhave caused
a collapse of the firm. According to cus
tom a list of notes falling due at foreign
banks each month is given to the book
keeper or some proper person around the
office, who i3 expected to go to the-home
bank with which the firm deals and have
all the notes paid. The bookkeeper of this
particular house was given a list of the
notes for one month, but inadvertently
failed to report one of the bills due in
New York, and, of course, it was not set
tled by the home bank. The note went to
protest before the firm knew that it had
not been paid, but when the error was dis
covered a settlement promptly followed.
Suppose that the creditors of the firm had
heard that the note had gone to protest,
they would have jumped to the conclusion
that the firm was financially embarrassed.
All the creditors would have rushed in at
once, probably, and under the immense
pressure a disastrous failure might have
been precipitated. The genius of a suc
cessful mercantile man lie3 in his accurate
knowledge and careful supervision of the
details of his business. J. B. Young in
G lobe-Democrat,
Forests and Rainfall.
Forests are known to diminish evapora
tion and preserve moisture, and this has
been explained by the lower temperature
and greater humidity which exists under
their shadows. The most important fac
tor in the production of this state of af
fairs is. however, the resistance which is
offered to the winds by the woods. The
force of the winds being greatly reduced
under the trees, the air is changed more
slowly, and the moisture less readily car
ried away. The quantity of rain increases
in the vicinity of a forest. During tho
rainy season the moss and herbage of
woods store up the moist nre for consump
tion during the dry season, and it is in
this way that luxuriant forest growths
are permitted to nourish in regions where
it never rains except in the fall and win
ter, as is the case on the coast of the
Caspian sea. Globe Democrat.
When the Singer Chokes Down.
It is related of a certain manager of a
variety theatre in Peoria, Ills., that every
Monday night when a company of new per
formers open for the week he takes a seat
near a large coal stove at -the back of the
theatre, and, when Hie serio-comic makes
her appearance, listens attentively to
learn how her singing pleases the audi
ence. If she happens to turn out what is
known as "queer" the manager gets up,
seizes the shaker and proceeds to shake
down the 6tove as briskly as possible until
the serio etc.", has finished her turn. The
reason for this is obvious. Detroit Free

storms. Tiiis is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Ycrnon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
