John Jay Frainey, tho distinguished ex- justice of the peace who has languished be. hind prison bars theso many weeks for con tempt of court, is beginning to tire of his in- carceration. For a while prison life did not appear to be so very bud after all. John Jay was wont to recline on a cot in tne corridor, smokiug vile cigars and reading his favorite Shakespeare, but this bogan to grow monots onous and he now longs for the sweet joys of untrammeled libertp and freedom. To this end he yesterday, through his atwrney, flled a ‘motion in the district court , modify the judgment against him, “The order of the court is that he be confined in the county jail until he complies with the mandate requiring him to turn over to his Russe: s administrator, all of the cstate of the B.

All of them favored es- tablishing a grade and cutting the street to t, but there was a difference of opinion as to where the grade should be. The general sentiment appesred to be that a cut of seven feet would be about the proper thing. The 1dea was that the cut should be deep enough 80 that if it should ever be desired to extend the motor line out there, no dificulty would be experienced in running up the grade, The question was discussed for some time, but no action was taken, tho object of the meeting being merely to talk over tht mateer.

Beauty of face is artificially made by applications better known to the gentler Womea prefer the powders and liquids that g1ve momentary whiteness of skin to the purity of the comple itself, because it is easier, they think, to secure. They seal up the pores of the skin by cosmeties, which muke only the apology of a blush, because their poor circulation will not give the desired cotor. If women were willing to put as much time in tho gymnasium as they are to rtificial care of their bodies, the auty which would result from such work would not only be more satis! butit would be lasting. Th endeavor to be harmoniously made, and, with the aid of the drossmaker, many nearly succeed. A time comes when the deceit no longer deceives. While women are trying to become attractive, 1o possess symmetry of form and the bloom of health, they are at the sume time duofeating these ends by vio- lation of those laws of health of which they are ignorant, writes Dr. W. .G. Anderson in the OuLius’. Why do women shudder when they read of the Indian mother who, by pressure with a board, flattens the frontal portion of the skull of her babe, while by her own methods of dressing they are_dangerously compressing the front and sides of the thorax and %utcr- fering with the actions of the most im- portant organs of the body.

D, Jan. 81.—|Special to Tne Bee.]—The following report of Don C. Need ham, chairman of a committee appointed at a recent state convention to examine into the revorted destitution in the stato was, first made public today : The committee uppointed at the convention held in Watertown in Decombor last, for tho purpose of ascertaining if possible tho exact financial condition of our people in order to the better refute the false and slanderous re ports being circulated m tho south aud east regarding tho destitution and suffering of our people, caused by “continued and un paralieled drouth, beg leave to submit the following report: Your chairman has spent several wecks in gathering istics; has in person visited ral counties talking to the needy, and sent out over soven hundred aod fifty letters and received 803 replios thereto. Nearly every member of both houses of our legisluture, together with chairmen of board of county commissioners, treusurers, regis- ters of deeds and prominent farmers have replied. In his personal visits he found one farmer who neeaed assistance, whose wheat crop last season was 900 bushels from fifty acres; another needing aid ueres yielded 1,000 bushels; several whose averagoe on a good acreage was from eleven to seven- teen bushels, Bestdes the wheat crop, they had raised a fair crop of corn, potatoes and vegetables. We find in_many counties similar illustra tions of “‘suffering and drouth.” We find that over a small area of territory within this state was the loss from drouth total, but i several localities there was a shrinkage of the average yield below th atof previous years. We also find the suffering from any cause not to exceed one-twentieth part of that re- ported by the eustern press. It is apparent thut the class of farmers who keep out of debt or “'pay as they go'’ are not only not asking, but are not needing aid. ‘I'here are thousands of furmers 1 South Dakota who came here with little or nothing who are now in comfortable circumstances, owning 160 or more acres of land with good builaings, well 1mproved, und have a good start in stock, whnile on the other hand we find those comiog here under similar or even better circumstances, now badly in- volved, their homesteads mortgaged, us weli us all their chattels ‘The causes which have lea to this state or condition of our people's finances will be found in the tabulated statement which fol- lows, but-it is from reports receivea safe to say 'that we have purchased too much farm m :chinery to economically till the acreago ‘we have under cultivation. We have pad exorbitant prices for the same, and have not properly cared for it, so that in a vory short time 1t has been necissary to re- pluce 1t. With a smaller crop than we had antici- pated, we have been unable to meot our obligations and in consequence huve bor- rowed money at unusually high rates of in- terest, and the low price for.produce, the aecline in the price of beef, pork and other products of the farm tias compelled the re- newal of obligations until the principal and interest have swept away the total crop in muny instunces, and loft tiose who are ask- ing aid, in some cases at least, really de- serving. ‘While we tind our crop has fallen below an average and that a greater amount of rainfall would be beneficial, wo are led to believe from personal observation as well as from the reports of & very large partion, indeed nearly all our correspondents, tnat the cause for the destitution that does exist is not chargeable to either the soii or chimate of our state. We submit the following tabulated state- ment of the average of the princival crops by couuties, together with a summary of the proportionate amount of mortgages, both real and personal, and the causes as reported which have led to the condition as described: eV ded | veNAL 05BI0AY_| 220y T0d w100 eFeIAY Hou Hommis Charles Mix..

This is as true of a shoemaker as of a banker, as is evidenced by the fact that some shoe- makers are successful while others make disastrous failures, “Take the case of Chauncey M. De- pew, for instance,” he went on. “There are very few peopls, except the old- timers, who know that our most suc- cessful railroad president and orator was once a stock broker and was a fail- ure at the busines: ['remember when ne came into the street. It was thirty years ago, before he had made his con- nection with old Commodore Vander- bilt or with William H.” Mr. Devew had a few thousand dol- lars and ne purchased a seatin the stock exchange. Seats were only $2,000 then, although they have since sold at $34,000. He had an office on Broad street, and the sign read “‘Chuuncey M. Depew, Stock Broker.” He had no clerk, and when he was given an order he used to run over to the Exchange and do it and then rush back and notify bis customer. Patrons were very scarce, though, and Mr. Depew, after about a year of strug- gling, concluded to give up the busi- ness. He sold his seat and has never had anything to do with Wall street since. **Does he speculate?” “Oh, all railroad presidents do that,” replied the millionaire. “It would be more than human nature is capable of not to do so.

Vanderbilt.” “What do you suppose Mr. Depew is worth?” “I nave heard people who know a good deal of his affairs place the amount of his wealth at $5,000,000. My own opinion is that Mr. Depew is worth con- siderable more than that. He is a man who rolls up money in a quiet way and says nothing about it.” -— In a letter dated January 6, 1890, Dr. B. Hamlin of Lemoore, Cal., says: **The lot of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy which I sold hers bas created such a demand for it that I caunot well get along without it.” This popularity was not created by advertising, but people who used it, finding 1t so much superior toany other remedy they have ever used for a cough or cold that they rec- ommend 1t to their friends and neigh- bors. Dr. Hamhin, who is the druggist there, ordered a half gross more to sup- ply the demand. This most excellent remedy is for sale at 50 cents per bottle by all druggists, Ay A WAGE-PAYING MACHINE. An Odd ana Valuable Invention for the Use of Large Business Houses. The annual edition of interesting in- ventions and discoveries called “The New Universe,” brings among other important novelties the illustration of a singular automatic contrivance, i. e., “A Wage-Paying Machine,” which fa- cilitates greatly iu the paying of wages in large houses, enabling the recipient at the sume time to count accurately und promptly the money which is Em d to him, says the New York Journal, The mechanism of the machine is vevcy ingenious, making it vossible to make payments in coin with utmost speed and to the exclusion of errors. The principal parts of the machine are made of ivon and consist of a box with uprights with a treadle, which is brought'into play when the box is to be filled. Coin to the amount of $2,000 can be put into the cash box, each denomi- nation being put in a separate brass tube. The coins, which rest on plugs, are pressed by a spring under the locking par in such a manner that only the upper coin is ready for payment. The cashier presses the key or button in front or ench tube, which forces the coin onto the paying table with its de- nomination facing upward, where it cun be eusily overlooked and counted. —— ARE STONES AL'VE.

From the following it will be seen that 1. D. Walker, the scientist and writer, anticipated the Pacitic slope philoso- pher by about two years. The extract given below is from an article by Mr. Walker written in 1887, **We generally think of minerals as dend lumps of inactive matter, Buu they may truthfully be said to be alive, creatures of vital pulsations and sepa- rated into individuals as distinet as the pine in the forest or tigers in a jungle. The disposition of crystals are as di- verse as those of animals. They grow in size as long as they have opportunity.

ST 2 BEAUTY WON THE DAY, Although It Was Coupled With In- solence and an Unfe ling Heart. Deputy Sheriff John J. Lynch, who is on duty at the Tombs prison, 18 a be- liever in courtesy to the olk folks, says the New York Times. After escorting a couple of prisoners to Blackwell’s island on Saturday he got on a belt car at First avenue and Fifty-ninth street. Some women entered the ear at Third avenue, and as one of them was old and decrepit Lynch rose to offer her his seut. Before she could get, to it, how- ever, a young and well dressed woman plumpsd herself into the seat. *L beg pardon,” said Lynch; “I of- fered my seat to this old lady, who does not seem able to stand.” %0, I paid for a seat and I pre- sume I am entitled to it,” remarked the young woman, with a supercilious air. “'Well, T suppose thig car is run for the aristocracy,” remarked Mr. Lynch. “You are insolent, sir,” gusped the woman, and she ran to the conductor and said Lynch had insulted her. The conductor, Persifer A. Kennedy, championed the young womun’s cause, and giving 5 cents back to Lynch told him to get off the car.' Lynch refused to do so. The conductor tried to put him off. A scrimmage followed, and the conductor was knocked down by a well directed blow on the nose. Women in the ca eumed and rushed for the door, while the ariver of the car und acitizen managed to get the conductor and Lynch out on the street, where further warfure was stopped by a policeman, who took both combatants to the station house. In Yorkwlle volice court yesterday Lynch was held for examination and the con- ductor was discharged. Lyuch had a severe cut on the wrist which he said was from a car hook, while the con- ductor’s face was sadly disfigured.
