A man named Anson is said to have told a New York newspai-r reporter that the Chicago baseball club Is going to win . the championship this year. There Is something strangely familiar In this statement, but An-son?. Anson? Where have we beard that name be fore? The corn crop of 1895 turns out to have been one of the three largest ou record; but the amount of It that has been marketed is comparatively smalL Past experience has taught the fann ers the Importance of holding surplus crops for higher prices, and there are more cribs of corn on Western farms at the present time than has ever been known before. The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst is getting the ox and the goat mixed up In his theo logical aoology. To the young men of the Students' Club, whom be addressed at New York; he said: "Any ox can devour the painting left upon the easel out In the pasture where he la grazing, but that does not help to make the ox esthetic." Dr. Parkhurst has confound ed the ox with the goat We ask uie Doctor's pardon for correcting him so far as to say that no ox could possibly consume an oil painting and live. With the goat, according to the humorous papers which have made a study of the subject, an oil painting or a measure of nitroglycerine are mere delicatessen. The many friends of Martha E. Hol den, who has contributed so largely to the newspaper of Chicago over the well-known signature of "Amber," as well as the many who have read her communications, will be pained to learn that she has passed away after an ill ness which at the last was brief, though she bad been a sufferer for a consider able period. She had worked bard and bravely to support herself and children In various avocations before doing reg ular newspaper work. In which last tha made a more than local reputation by her cleverness, nuoonventlonality, and cheerful optimism, which, now that she has passed away, appears in a still stronger light by reason of the suffer ing she must have endured so long and with so much courage and patience. Much Interest will be developed In the scheme of electric lighting by the act of the Mayor of Buffalo In signing the Niagara Falls power franchise, for it secures the introduction Into that city of electric power developed at the falls. The proposed plan will bear uion the problem of the economic distribu tion of power produced at a distance from the point of application. If suc cessful It may be expected largely to Increase the use of water power. In all of the older States of the country may be found many abandoned mill sites on streams abandoned because distance from "markets and supplies overbalanced, In cost of transportation, the difference In cost of production be tween the use of steam and of water power. With a demonstration of eco nomical distribution of electric power over a wide radius, these abandoned mill sites will have a new value. Power developed there will be used by the manufactories situated miles distant on the lines of transportation. Everybody knows that Wilhelm, the German Emperor, estimates himself at his full value, and sometimes over shoots the mark a little; but no one has ever supposed that be regarded it as a part of his destiny to become William the Conqueror Number Two. Recent statements lend color to this notion. The German military party has many times boasted that, in spite of fortresses and channel squadrons, it Is far easier to Invade England now than It ws, In the time of Julius Caesar, or inflie days when William of Konnaorly pushed his hardy warriors up tbe English beaches, and pressed OB to fight the great battle at Hastings. When the Germans were In France, twenty-five years ago, they went to Dieppe, and, looking across the "silver gtraaV," longed to be launched forth against the Britons. Gen. Von Hlti men thai used to say that there was an official plan In the German War Office tot Invading England by overrunning Holland and Belgium, seizing all the transport vessels which the industrious Lowlandcrs possess, and then crossing the North Sea, with a couple of hun dred thousand men, and landing in Brit ain with an Irresistible force.

By refusing to permit the Bed Cross Association to distribute the supplies that Christendom has gathered for the relief of the Armenians, the Turkish Sultan has condemned the Armenian race to death by famine, by cold, and by the sword. Compared to this lust outrage against God and nature all other crimes become venial The Sul tan deliberately contemplates the mas sacre of a nation. It is an Insult to the Intelligence of the world when the Tur kish Sultan'B agents plead his ability and willingness to relieve the Armen ians. By his connivance. If not by his direct orders, the sword has destroyed thousands of them, the famine has slain other thousands, the cold of the Armenian mountains has killed others, and the pestilence that follows these horrors has well nigh completed the work of destruction. The Sultan nei ther has been able nor willing to ameli orate these Infamies of agony, lie made professions of willingness when It seemed likely that Euro? would unite to compel him to keep his pledges of Armenian reform, butas soon as the complication of affairs in Africa and Venezuela made European activity on behalf of Armenia doubtful, the Sultan assumed his old attitude of despotism. With the Venezuelan and African uues tions out of the way the Armenian Is sue will regain its international import ance. Never before has a government that professed civilization hindered the. benevolent work of the Bed Cross. Its philanthropic work was approved by our own administration in the yellow fever smitten districts. Russia wel corned Its agents In a season of fain iue. Spain and Italy welcomed them In time of cholera. Turkey alone has denied to them the exercise of their benevolent functions.. No special plead Ing will avail to mitigate the crime of the Sultan. He has decreed to murder a race. WOULD NOT SING WITHOUT PAY T rouble Which Chora Glrle Brought Upon the Oncrt Manager. There Is trouble In the ranks of the grand opera chorus singers at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York City. The decision of the management to give Sunday night concerts In which the chorus should take part was f 1 lowed by an order for the chorus girls to appear upon such occasions. This provoked some Indignation, which lie came dire wrath when It was made known that, while the Italian members of the chorus would receive $2.50 for this extra work, the American girls would not get a cent extra. This dls- crimination against home talent nearly provoked a strike, especially as an ap peal to tlie management secured no re dress. The American girls were told that If they did not sing Sunday nights they would not be permitted to slug other nights, and their places would be filled. This threat stopped the threat eued strike, and the American girls have accepted the ultimatum with res ignation. In the meantime the Italian singers have been viewing the troubles with much complacency, if not with actual pleasure. "De maka me stanea what you say for stanca tired?" said one stout old contralto with a growth of silky black mustache over her upper lip that would have done credit to a basso-profundo. when a Sun reporter asked her what she thought of the American girls In the chorus. "Dey no sing words. Dey stand and say only la, la' for alle opera, and I slnga at Le Seala, Coventa Garden, and know alia words, and dey know only 'la, la. And dey will pusha me back where nobody seea me, and dey Htanda In de fronta rowa with only der 'la, la.' Wbatta you say In Aiug llsh? Xltta? I say 'Nitta to dem.

CLEVELAND TO ACT SLOWLY Will lot Attend to the Cuban isola tion Verj Soon. DON'T LIKE TO HURT SPAIN'S FEELINGS H Md Olney DUpoM-4 to ba Counm- live With R(rd to the RruaUloi f CJba'i ftielligracy. Washington-, March 5. What win the president do with the Cuban reso lutions should they erer emerge from the conference committee aud reach him r The fact that it was an open se cret that the president and Secretary Oiney were disposed to proceed in a very conservative manner in regard to Cuban recognition, fully appreciat ing the many difficulties surrounding the question, was stated in the United press dispatches of February 28 last, and has since been repeated and con tinued from other sources. It if well understood in congress that but for a knowledge of this fact, and a conse quent indisposition to embarrass the executive, a joint resolution, instead of concurrent resolution, would hare been adopted by both houses. It is felt by leading members of the house that the president can be depended upon to do what Is proper, and that the action of the two bouses in passing resolutions favorable to the Cuban in surgents gives him the indorsement of Ihoae bodies should be deem it proper to issue a proclamation of belligerency. But will be take such a step? That question was put yesterday by a United press representative to a number of prominent republicans and democrats In the house. The republicans claimed to bare no knowledge of the execu tive's intentions and said the only per on competent to speak with intelligence upon the subject was Mr. Cleveland himjelf. The democrat leaders were equally uncertain. In their opinion the president will study the situation carefully, and If be should be satisfied from the official correspondence that Weyler proposes to inaugurate a reign of terror in the island, he will Incline more strongly to accord the insurgents belligerent rights than would other wise be the case. It is not believed that under anv circumstances be will act upon the matter for several weeks, should be do so at all. Editor aad Lawrar Fight Benton Harbor, Mich, March &. Attorney Edward 8.

It is asserted, npon good authority, that bpain is no in communication with the several Eu ropean ministers, with a view of secur ing their agreement to a joint protest tn the event of President Cleveland de claring the belligerency of Cuba. Demonstrations and meetings of pro test against the action of the American senate nd bouse of representatives continue in the provinces. They are almost wholly participated In by stu dents. None of them were of any par ticular importance, and they were all easily dispersed by the police. Armed trans-Atlantic steamers will begin on March 20 to act as cruisers. Italian! In Trouble.

HOMES ARE RUINED BY3TRONQ "fit ( DRINK. Tannaands of Uvea, Caaractera an6 aTortaaea) Are Anonally Wrecked Along the Gilded Pathway Having lta B la tan Wlaa Hooaaw Made a Man of Farragat. Admiral D. O. Farrapnt, America' oreinost naval commander, reached the turning point In his career at a very rly age, according to a statement in Turning Tolnts In Successful Ca reers." It Is wel known that Farragut ntered the navy when a little more than 9 years old. During the next year r two the boy got to be about as bad boy as one of his ege could well be. In after years, when he reached the lenlth of rank and fame, he related to friend this crisis In his career. Raid the old Admiral: When I was a little more than 10 rears old my father, Master Comtuan- cr George Farragut, was sent In a loop of war to New Orleans to watch be suppmed movements of Aaron Burr. I went with him aa a midship man. I bad some qualities that I thought made a man of me. I could swear like a Caribbean pirate, coum drink as stiff a glass of grog as the toughest old salt and could smoke like volcano. I was great at cards, and was fond of gambling In every shape. "At the close of dinner one day my father turned everybody out of the ?abin, locked the door and said to me: 'David, what do you mean to be?" 'I mean to follow the sea,' I said. 'Follow the sea.1 exclaimed my fatb er. "es. be a poor, miserable, uranium sailor before the mast, kicked and cuff ed about the world, and die In some fever hospital in a foreign clime.' "No, father," I replied, 'I will trend the quarter deck and command, as yoh do." , 'No, David; no boy ever trod the quarter deck with such principles as you have and such haiilts a you ex hibit You will have to change your whole course of life If you ever be come a man.' Then, continued the Admiral, "ray father left me aud went on deck, was stunned and mortiflxd at the ' buke. I thought over aud repeated to myself what be had said, and then 1 re solved to change my life, ' From tliat time and until the present, I have nVver uttered an oath, taken a drop of Intox Icating liquor or handled a card. Short ly after this episode I became a Chris tian, and that sHthd my temporal as well as my moral dcetlny." Rnalneas of Konr Faleamen. The following true story Is related by one of the participants In the remarka ble Incident: Not long since In a certain New En gand city four commercial travelers met for the first time at the table. With that genial bonhomie peculiar to the craft they were soon engaged in con versation. In a few moments one of them said: "Gentlemen, suppose we begin, being all strangers, with the gentleman o posite me, to introduce ourselves aud our firms' business." This was unanimously agreed to. raia o. i: "i am , and 1 repre sent the house of X. Y. Z., selling glass bottles." Said No. 2: "Well, gentlemen, per haps It la no chance that I come next. for I represent V. I. Q. I am , am I sell the stuff that goes Into the bot ties. I sell wines and liquors." There was a moment's silence as No 3 said: "That, gentlemen, docs sty in little strange, but perhaps there Is a fatality about this. I am of the firm of W. U. 8., dealers In undertakers' goods." No. 4 now remained silent, and sug gested that it would be well not to pursue the subject further, and that It had been well never to have started It After much urging to complete the chain he said: "Gentlemen, It is Indeed a fatality. I am , of I). H. K., and am taking orders for gravestones." Was there ever a temperance lecture com pressed Into so few lines? Drnnkennc and filicide. Dr. I'rinzlng, of L'hn, Germany, has now come forward with a remarkabl showing of the evils which intemper ance Is working In the Kaiser's realm He has shown that more than 80 cent, of all suicides committed by men In the prime of life arc due to drunk ciiins.
