Necessity for a Laboratory for the De- partment of Agriculture. The laboratory of the Department of Agri- culture is located in the basement of that build- ing. Commissioner Colman hag repeatedly re- commended the erection of a new building for laboratory purposes, and has often called the attention of Congress to the dangers to limb, if not to human life, by reason of the existing state of affairs, A bill providing for the build- ing has been reported to the House, but, like so many other bills, has not been reached, Commissioner Colman has addressed a com- munication to Chairman Dibble, in which he a “On Saturday last an accident was narrowiy averted which would have been most disastrous in its consequences. ‘It is probable that a delay of fiftcen minutes more in the discovery of the danger would have caused the total destruction of one end of the department building, and none can tell with what loss to” lif limb to the occupants of — the partment. My own private off the disbursing office were in imminent urge upon you the importance of favor- able action upon the bill now pend- img for a new building, and I beg to represent that this danger to human life, to say nothing of the effect upon the health of the employes of this department from close proximity to the laboratory, creates a humane and public exigency which needs immediate attention. The responsibility for the consequences of an acci- dent, snch 2s threatened us on Saturday last, and which is continually threatening us, is not pleasant thing to con- template, and I do sincerci pe that something may be done at once to relieve this condition of affairs as far as possible.” KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

His Brothers Charge it was the Culmina- ting of a Series of Political Crimes. Powell Clayton and Judge Clayton, brothers of the Hon. John Clayton, who was assas- sinated at Plummerville, Ark., on the night of January 29, have issued a statemerftto the pub- lic, claiming that it wasa political murder. They assert that many political crimes have been committed im Arkansas since the begin- ning of the late election canvass, but in their statement the Clayton brothers content them- selves with calling attention to affairs in Con- way county, in which Plummerville is situated. ‘The statement says: “Prior to the September election and during the canvass a political club was organized at Morrillton, the county seat of Conner county, with one Stowers, fresh front eer at its head. This club soon after resolved itself into a militia company, and about two weeks before the, election, at a time Profound peace in the county. the Hon. imon P. Hughes, then governor, not only pplied it with state arms, but furnished it with a fall supply of ammunition. This was the beginmng of the troubles in Conway county. From this time until the day of election Stowers, with his armed par- tisans, almost daily paraded the streets of Mor- Tilton. On election day their guns were deposited, loaded and ready for action, in a convenient place in the building in which the election was held. On the morning of that day the republican judge of the election, on his way to assume the duties of his office. on a frivolous and preconcerted pretext was ar- rested, whereupon Stowers, with his men, marched to the polls, and upon his nomination and their votes another person was declared elected to fill the vacancy. By these unlawful proceedings, the election board, composed of citizens representing both politial parties, was made solidly democratic. While at Morrillton these things were being done, the citizens of the town of Plummerville, who were nearly all opposed, politically, to our brother. while those of the farming parts of the precincts were his political friends, the latter greatly outnumber- ing the former, collected at the voting place before the honr fixed by law for the opening of the polls, and organized a full set of election officers of their party. “When the two republican jndges appeared they found their places usurped and the elec- tion in full blast. The result of the September m. so conducted, in Conway county was omplete change of its political status so far as its oflicers were concerned. but not as to the sentiments of its people. Under these changed bout two months after, the con- gressional election occurred, John M. Clayton being the republican candidate and C. R. Breck- inridge the demorratic. The day before this election M. W. Benjamin, a prominent republi- can lawyer of Little Rock, was sent to Conway uunty by the republican state committee, with instructions to use his best endeavors to secure an honest election. Upon his arrival atthe de- pot at Morrillton he was confronted b: riated mob of several hundred citiz threw him from the cars, assaulted and beat him, pulled from his face handfuls of beard, and met all of his appeals to their humat with kicks and cuffs, finally shooting him in the forehead with a weapon of sufficient force to imbed and flatten a bullet upon his skull. ‘A short time after Mr. Benjamin died, tell- ing his wife before death that’ his sufferings were due to the treatment received at the hands of the Morrillton mob. On the following day, being the day of election at Plummervillle, at the hour for opening the polls the two republi- n judges were on hand. ready to perform their duties, but were ignored by the demo- j . Who put in nomination two mem- pwn party, and upon a mere affirm tive vote, without putting the negative, de- ured them elected, and they were installed. ie republican judges, not being permitted to act, accompanied by the républican United States supervisor, undertook to open polls else- where, but were notified by democratic deputy sheriffs, tive of whom were present, that they would not be permitted to do so. Under these and other threats they abandoned their pur- pose, and the republican supervisor returned to where the ction as first organized was be- ing held, where he remained in the faithful | performance ot his duty until the polls were € »sed, Whereupon the election judge by whose action the board was organized, as before stated, took the ballot-box and carried it from lace to place through the town, followed, however, persistently by the faithful super- visor, Charles Wah The statement goes on to recite that after tramping around until 9o'elock the judge re- turned to the polling place with the ballot- box. Later four masked men rushed in and at the muzzles of pistols seized the ballot box and poll books and ran away with them. ‘The state- ment continues: “Weare informed by Wahl and other creditable persons that the box so stolen contained 697 ballots, of which at least vere © layton.” ent then recites how John M. n proceedings looking to a con- in Congress; tells how Wahl was shot at through a glass door one night at Pinmmerville and slightly wounded and charges that a man named Alexander, em- d by Clayton in gathering evidence for putest, was compelled to fly from Plum- ville through f of his lite’ For these crimes,’ the statement assert, ‘no man has been arrested by state or county authoritie ven offered.” nchision the statement gives the facts regarding John M.

A Newspaper Man Nurses a Fever Patient and is Cared for in Return. Baltimore Special to the Philadelphia Times, Feb. 2. A quiet wedding in Jacksonville, Fla., next Wednesday evening will be the happy sequel to acharming romance of the yellow fever epi- demic. The groom is Fred. W. Kettle, a well- known newspaper man, formerly of Baltimore; the bride Miss Rosina Patterson, one of the beauties of Jacksonville and a noted singer, whose sweet voice had won her the name of the Nightingale of the South. Two years ago Mr. Kettle left his home in this city and located in Jacksonville. He soon became prominently identified with newspaper work there, not only in a local capacity, but as the correspondent of northern and western ne’ pers. When the fever broke out last summer he was advised b; his friends to leave, as, not being acclimated, he would surely fall a victim to the disease. He continued at his work, however, until the relief committee, under Bishop Weed, was organized. Then he volunteered his entire time to the arduons duties of secretary of the committee. The physicians warned him, but he fearlessly entered the battle against the scourge. As the epidemic increased his labors became more difficult, and day and night be was almost continually at his desk or in the infected home of the sick. Mr. Kettle had become acquainted with Miss Patterson before the fever broke out, She was among the first to be stricken. In those terri- bie days, when one or more members of nearly every family in the little southern city were down with the disease, friends nursed friends and in turn were often themselves attended by the very ones whose. lives they had helped to save. When Miss Patterson and her mother were both ill Mr. Kettle assisted in caring for them in their delirium. Both recovered and the friendship between the convalescent maiden and the young secretary of the relief com- mittee became a stronger affection. In Sep- tember, when the death rate was as its highest and physicians, nurses and the heroic band of workers on the relief committee were nearly worn out, Mr. Kettle was attacked with a chill while working at his desk, and realized that Yellow Jack had at last fastened his grip upon him. He bade his fellow-workers good-bye and prepared to start for the Sand hills, the pest Peeuttal; from which so few ever returned, He stopped on his way through the town at the residence of Miss Patterson to say farewell. She would not permit him to go to the hospital, but returned with him at once to his deserted boarding house, and for two weeks day and night lovingly cared for the sufferer. For facecal digs his life was in great danger, but finally reason returned and the fever sub- sided. The attending physician, on Mr. Kettle’s convalescence, placed the hand of the faithful girl in that of the sick man. remarking: ‘Young man, to this noble girl you owe your life. The attachment thus formed between the two will now be perpetuated in wedlock. Miss Patterson is a descendant of the fatily of Patterson, after whom the town of Pater- son. N. J., isnaméd. Mr. Kettle is secretary of the Church Year publishing company, of Florida. ene A Portrait Painter’s Suicide.

If there is, as legend saye there is, such a thing, seen through western eyes, as an ‘effete east,” what are its precise territorial limits? In other words, where does such an east really end and the west begin? Or, to state it still dif- ferently, at what point on the map may one, if so disposedy put one’s finger confidently down and say, “Here is the spot where the effeteness of the arrogant east abruptly ends, and im its stead is the unexpended fecundity of a liberal, untrammeled west?” While the matter is not one that will, apparently, in the immediate future give rise to serious international com- plication, it is, nevertheless, of no little do- mestic moment, and may, at some distant day, eyen call for state interference and adjudica- tion at the hands of a boundary commission, to be chosen from the impartial outlying districts in the extreme north and south. In reality the problem of geographical sepa- ration would be one uaiey ifficult to solve to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. It is, for instance, not merely a broad’ question between Maine and Oregon, between Eastport and Portland. or even, possibly, between New York and San Francisco. On general grounds it might be admitted that somewhere in the in- tervening space the line would certainly fall. On a somewhat closer examination, however, it will be found that facts other and more minute than mere latitude and longitude must be seri: ously taken into consideration. It may even be not unfairly assumed that the fundamental idea of east and west itself is only relative and cannot be thus recklessly applied. Schenectady, where Daisy Miller lived, is west of Jersey City; and we all know that Oshkosh lies far to the westward of Kalamazoo. If. in the inquiry thus set on foot, the reasons for the necessary distinction were still more closely inquired into it might even be shown that they who have thoughtlessly used the epithet in question themselves m: Il under its ban. When the division is finally made, it must be wholly Sai ve of any mere sectional pre- ice. to Which it should rise snperior. The west. it may be supposed. will accept the judg- ment joyfully; while the east, from the very nature of th se, will be su wherever the line is drawn, to regard it wit equanimity. Only those who, i distribution, may now for the ti eluded under the term “east” w alittle more intolerant than they who have longer borne the name. For purely practical reasons, apart from mere sentiment, the dis- tinction here suggested ought soon to be made, It was on the island of Grand Manan, down in the Bay of Fundy, last summer, that a com- ment was made upon the scarcity in the com- munity of young people of both sexes. ‘How is it,” weasked, “that we see so few young men and women here?” “Well,” the captain replied, “a great many have married and gone i “West?” we said; “to what part of the “Well,” said the captain, “mostly to soe. — The Richmond Diocese. SELECTING A SUCCESSOR TO BISHOP KEANE. Cardinal Gibbons arrived in Richmond yes- terday afternoon from Baltimore and was met by Very Rev. Father Van de Vyver, ministrator of the diocese, and taken to the episcopal resi- dence, where he received calls last evening from a large number of friends who knew him intimately when he was bishop of Richmond. ‘The cardinal went to attend a meeting of the clergy to be held to-day, over which he will preside, 2nd at which will be selected three names to be submitted to a meeting of the bishops of the provi: to be held on the 27th instant.

From the Philadelphia Times. One of our girls asks us to tell her how to make an wolian harp. The simplest style of this melodious instrument is that which fits into an ordinary window frame, Out of thin, well-planed boards of common wood make a box as long as the window for which it is in- tended is wide, 4 inches deep and 5 inches wide. Glue the pieces together, making the joints as true and clean as possible, The boards, by the way, should not be thicker than one-eighth of an inch, and the more carefully you make the box the better the harp wall be when it is done. Three inches from each end of the box glue on a bridge for the strings to pass over. The bridges should be made of some kind of hard wood. The strings are of catgut and are tight- ened by means of pegs fitted into holes bored | for the purpose at each end of the box. Six or eight strings may be used, and they should be tuned in unison hree inches above them place a thin board supported on tour pegs, one at each corner of the box. Then put the box in the window and bring down the sash on the upper board. The air passes in and out be- tween it and the sounding box, being set in vibration by it. g ‘ melodies murmur for which the wotian harp is noted. ud the string Trovnurs oF a B John A Readin enberg. eumstand soo OARDI Whitman, 2 young business mano Pa., and Miss Anmie A.
