A three year-old boy, in Cinein- natl.a day or two ago, desiring to have a ride, clambered, into an empty carriage, took up the reins and bit the horse, a spirited one, withthe whip. Atthe endof a couple of blocks the Carriage was smashed into splinters and the horse seriously cut. The boy es- caped without a bruise. : Louis Taylor a young white man at Memphis, Tenn., was charged withan aggravated assault on a colored girl with whom be has been living, and got a sentence of only 11 months aud 29 days in the coun- ty work house! He is a young white man of considerable proper ty, and belongs to an excellent family of the county, but be bas for some years past shunned the society of white people and con— fined himself entirely to associa- tion with colored people. He de- clares that the colored race are the chosen people of the Lord, and so far as the next world is concerned, the whites are “not in it.’—Ap- peal. ; Iwas reading of a wife whose husband had been overthrown by strong drink, and she went to the saloon where he was ruined, and she said: ‘give me back my hus- band.” And the bartender, point- ing to a mandlin and battered man drowsing iu the corner of the bar room, said: ‘*tkere he is. Jim wake up; here is your wife come for you.” And tke woman said; that my husband? What have you been doimg with bim? Is that the manly brow? Is that the clear eye? Isthat the nobie heart that I married? What vile drug bave you giveu bim that has turned into a fiend? Take your tiger claws off him? Uncoil those serpent folds of evil habits that are crashing him.

HARRISON AND MORTON LEAGUE. A LarGe Meeting Monpay Niaut — ResoLutions Favorine Pri- MARY ELEcrIons. The Harrison and Morton Republican League met on last Monday evening at its headquar- ters in the O street Armory. Mr. W, Calvin Chase, presided and Prof. W. H. Jones, acted as sec- retary. The president iu opening the meeting called the attention of the League to the necessity of a reformation in District politics. | He urged upon the members to organize auxiliary clubs in every district inthe cisy fur the pur- pose of improving the conditioa of affairs. Mr. A. St A. Smith, chairman of the executive com~ mittee, thought every effort should | be made, by the Republicans, to| have a representative republican organization and that ouly can be done through primary elec- tion. Mr. R.S. Smith, was in- troduced and made some very en- couraging remarks. He thought thatthe republicans inthe city ought to come out and assist in perfecting a representative organ- ization, he thought the ideas ad- vanced in favor of primary elec- tions were just what should have been presented some time ago All fair republicans, he thought | wouid support the propositions advanced by this League. Mr. A. St. A. Smith offered the following preamble and resolu~ tions: Whereas, the result of the late elections in the fourteen (14) States uf our common country where the soverign people have a right to, and enjoy the privilege of resigistering t eir will at the ballot box shows but too plainly that outside of local issues the progressive principles of the Re- pubtican party will be strictly ad- hered to, and heroically maiutain- ed. And, Whereas. The present ad- ministration has fostered and en- couraged our infant industries, protected and etrengthened our diversified home products—-satis- fied the toiling mitlious that their Lows XV. coats made of dark! compensation shall ever be in hon purple velvet, with deep cuffs and {est money, aud assured cur fi mers that foreign markets within their reach are avxious for recip- rocal dealing. Whereas, The mass meetings held in D. C, for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Republican Couvention have been of the most disorderly character and have brought disgrace upon the Republicans of the D. C., and Whereas, Such a method ot electing delegates is uufair and docs not give opportunity for a free expression of the choice of the Republicans of the District in the matter of selecting delegaes to the National Republican Conven- tion because the meetings are beld where, and when itis not pleasant for avery large elemeut of the party t> be present. Resolved, That the Harrison avd Morton Republican League ot the District of Columbia, believing in a free expression of the will of all the Republicans both white and black in regard to who shall represent them in the National Republican Couvention, do bereby most unequivocally declare in favor of electing dele- ates from the several legislative istricts by primary election and that wecall upon all trieuds in favor of honest expression of the choice of all Republicans both white and black io support this measure. Reselved further, That we call upon all interested Republicans to organize in the several districts auxiliary organizations for . the urpose of xssisting in the work perpetuating the ¢ party in power and renominating Harrison and Morton as the standard bearers of the party in 1892. | the eye.

In regard to table service there are, according to Decorator and Furnisher, two courses open to us —to use untinted china with flow- jers and with or without a scarf ) down the centre, or colored china j and little or no decoration, A rim ot gold or of some deep shade may | be considered in perfect taste when {it harmonizes with the flowers. |Zhus green or gold may be used with any variety of flowers, be- cause green is their background and alive of giltis never inhar monious. But to set a table with deep blue or richly painted china of any kind and then profusely deck it with flowers is, says the | authority already mentioned, to violate those canons ogart which are founded on the laws of nature. The reason isevident. Either have the flowers by themselves or the painted pictures; together they will killeach other. And that is why there is a return to the old- fashived white china, which is nev- er out of keeping with anything in | the room. With white goes any kind of decoration. Table scarfs are still in vogue. They may be made of work embroidery of rich lace, long aud narrow in shape, as they have been for. sometime. On this, on festive occasions, set fancy dishes of flowers—crimson or white—bon- bons, conserves in crystal and can— | delabra in fancy shades. The cen tre piece, not too high, might be a large mass of crimson roses or carnations, relieved with greenery, and, if desired, with flowers of the same species. Where the housexeeper has ac- cess to plants and flowers, either wild or cultivated, the decorations may be often varied. In wiuter, and sprig of the rose geranium for a centre piece are adelight to isa mistake to sup- pose that many flowers are needful to make a fitting sbow. Have a plentiful supply of | greenery | (which can be kept tresh by fre- | guent changes of water, into which drop a little powdered charcoal), ‘and a half a dozen flowers inserted | into its midst will make a thing of | beauty as long as they last. | One pretty fashion in table dec- | oration is toinsert in the centre of | a loose knot of green silk a cluster | of flowers or a spray of lilies or of |roses. The stims may be kept | fresh in a bowel of water coucealed by the silk, which is festooned ov— | era piece of pa-teboard, through | an aperture of which they pass to | reach the fluid.

Gould, who was a Mies Edith Kingdon, is a famous young housekeeper, says ** The Ladies’ Home Jourual.” She cares nothing for society—none of the Goulds do, no matter what is said to the contrary—but devotes all her time to her bus- band, her childran and her home. She does all her own marketing, knows how to select a good juint, and, better still, knows how to |cook it. Mrs. Gould is the wife | of the prospectively richest mau | in America. She has millions at ber command, yet she does not squander a penny. Her husband gives ber a fixed income tor household expenses, and a liberai j allowance each year for clothing. She keeps a little book in which is set down the sums of money she receives and spends; and once each month she balauces it, pays all bills, and begins a new account, She purchases every piece of clothing worn by ter children, and often mukes a spe- cial article of wear for them her- self. Mrs. Gould is afirm believer that all wives should have a fixed allowance from their husbands for household aud clothing expenses. It may be much or little, just ae the husband can afford. a SPECIAL NO?ICE, All persons who have one of the circulars recently sent oui for sig- natures, are earnestly requested 10 send the same in as directed as promptly as possivle, so that we may know who is with us.

Fowler who has the reputation of coliect ing more money than anybody in the East was the manager of the affair. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity aud it was the general verdict that it was the very best concert ever given on the hill, The opening coorus, by tbe Oriole Glee Club was well re~ ceived. Among the participants | who acquitted themselves were the “Baby Star” who made a great hir, reading by Mr. Jobo Butler. The center of the attrac- t tions was Madume Dougan. The ; concert on a whole wasa_fioan- cial and musical success. Prof. Fowler, who never tails to draw | large crowds is entitled to the highest commendation. — eee A CORRECTION.

SPECTATOR. Wash. D.C., Nov. 11, ’91. | putting Congressman John O. Pendleton, of West Virginia, who has been spending 2 nonth in New York, says he has positive nformation that Governor Hill is not s candidate for President in 1892. Governor Pattison denies the _ report hat he will call an extra session of the Pennsylvania legislature. The 50th anniversary of the Prince oi Wales was celebrated in England and her solonies on Monday. Work is being rushed in all the navy yards, and it is evident that Uncle Sar joes not entirely trust the pacific new: ‘rom Chili, but is getting ready for ¢ scrimmage if nec ry. There is a difference between Mr. Mills ind Mr. Springer on the tariff question. Mr, Mills wants to frame a general bill n the next Congress, and Mr. Springer favors the passing of special measures wool, dye stuffs, cotton ties and other articles on the free list. This lifference will enter into the Speaker ship contest. President Harrison favors Omaha on Minneapolis for the Republican National Convention. Little Miss Ruth Cleveland is to be pre sented with a carved cradle by St. Louis made from the wood of General ant’s old log cabin, which he built with his own hands. Some ions of New Jersey are over run with tramps, who daily commit mos* ring thefts and outrages upon the in habitants. SERIOUS DROUGHT IN THE WEST. A Chance for the Rain Makers to Save the Crops. The drought in central Illinois is as. suming dangerous proportions, and un- less relief is soon afforded there will be much suffering and heavy damage to the wheat crop. In most sections of Kentucky no rain of any has fallen in twe months, Forests and fields are parched and ready to burn if touched by a spark. Unless rain falls soon, the wheat crop for next spring will be largely a failure. In southern Indiana the drought is al- most unprecedented, the territory affected neluding the entire southern half of the State. There has been no growth of wheat in over 40 days, and the damage the crop already is estimated at 33 per vent. Reports from all parts of Kansas show that the prospect for next year’s wheat 2rop is not encouraging. The central por- tion of the State needs rain badly. consequence Montana’s Girl Footpad. Henry Clark, the footpad who had been operating in Montana for several months, has been sentenced to 40 y in the penitentiary. He worked in com- pany with a young woman named Ber- tha Helen Forslan?, who was dressed in men’s clothing, and his capture was due to the accidental revelation of her sex. The woman was tried as an accessory, but acquitted. She was set fre@and says she will return to her home at Lockwood Wash., and lead a reputable life here- after. Another Remedy for Consumption. A unique remedy for consumption is being tested at Shelbyville, Ind. A young lady who for some time has been suffering from pulmonary affectior has begun, under the direction of hes medical adviser, a systematic dieting consisting of dog meat, which is to be her exclusive diet until the efficacy of the remedy shall have been thoroughly tested. A fat, healthy Newfoundlanc pup was butchered, and will be servec regularly at her meals. Hawaii Wants Annexation. A. B. Spreckel, in a Chicago interview says the Hawaiians are a discouraged lot. and they can not see their way clear tc prosperity in any other way than by an nexation. With the removal of tariff ox sugar and the offering of tv-o cents per pound for all sugar produced in the United States, the islands lost the advan. tage they had over producers here, in Cuba. and in the Phillippine Islands. Cherokee Chief to Hold the Strip. Joel Mayes, the noted Indian politician and leader of the progressive Downing faction, has been reelected principal zhief of the Cherokee Nation by 350 ma jority, and Henry Chambers, assistant chief.
