THE discovery of gold in a meteorite which has just been made by Federal Government Geologist Turner in Cal­ ifornia is of unusual interest. The meteorite in question is about the size of a man's flst and around a good portion of it is a solid film of gold. In one part the, metal is about an inch square. Gold has never before been found in connection with mete­ oric iron, and it demonstrates, says Mr. Turner, "that there is gold in the worlds of space." This is a new chance to make a fortune on short notice and without much hard work.

Scores of other hig^x-bred- families have their representatives, but what we want to inquire after is the commpiv.every-day hen of the republic. These feathered reminders of the effete East are welcome, but why, in the name of all that is patriotic, is not the faithful, plodding and industrious American hen, the revered mother of the toothsome spring chicken and a standing de­ pendence of Easter's youthful pleas­ ures, given a place on the bench? She is not a bird of gaudy plumage and boasfs not of a blue-blooded line­ age, but she is full of business, can be replied upon, and never cackles till her day's work is done Give her a show. , , " THERE has .recently occurred the death of two more illustrious men in Europe, both of whom, we believe, were victims of the prevailing in­ fluenza--Mackenzie, the surgeen, and Mommscn, 4he historian. Sir Mor­ el! Mackenzie, though he did not come into world-wide prominence un-< til he was summoned to care for the Emperor Frederick in his last ill­ ness, was widely known in his pro­ fession in England and upon the con­ tinent, particularly .in the treatment of diseases of the throat. As a spe­ cialist he attracted general notice, his principal work, "Diseases of the Throat and Nose," having become standard. His services to the Em­ peror Frederick made him knowr. the world over through the medium of the bitter controversy between the English and German schools ol medicine. The contest between them was one of the most heated and personal ever waged, and it is hardly over yet. It is not "at all unlikely that his will revive it. Theodore Mommsen, the eminent Germam historian, was born at Gard- ing, in the Duchy of Schleswig." in 1817, and began his historical studies at an-early age. In 1848 he filled his first chair of history at Leipsic, and some time afterwards was appointed Secretary of the Academy of Sciences in Benin, in which position for many years he supervised the publication of the stupendous work known as "Corpus lnscriptionum Latinarum." His wide learning is manifested by the numerous treatises he has pub­ lished, covering the Italian dialects, the Roman institutions, the details of Roman life, and the whole scope of Roman constitutional law. His masterpiece is his "Historyof Rome," in which he embodied his vast knowl­ edge of the subject in all Its details, and which already has become a classic. • » VOTBRS INSTRUCTED HOW TO * ' CAST A BALLOT, A*»r im "Hlgibto Bnn !W; Bow Nominations Are to lie Mxule--Form of the Ilallot--A ComprclienntTt Com­ pilation of ttcaend Instruction*. x A Secret Ballot.

Origin of Two Wall-Known Kam«\ In 711 A. D., the Arabscrossed the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, and estab­ lished themselves around the famous rock whose name is derived from their leader. Field Marshal Tarik was one of the leaders of the Arab invasion of Spain. Gebel is an Arabic word meaning mountain. The great rock, which was by far the most conspicu­ ous object along the shores of the strait, was accordingly named after Tarik. Gebel el Tarik, or the Moun­ tain of Tarik. It is easy to see how this name became changed into its present form, Gibraltar. One of the best known towns in Morocco derives its name from a cari­ ous circumstance. The place is Tetuan, which has about 20,000 inhabitants, and is noted for its manufacture of a large variety of Moroccan wares. Centuries ago the inhabitants were in deadly fear of the wild Berl'ir tribes who inhabited the Er Rif Mountains. They kept a watchman upon a lofty minaret, and whenever he saw indica­ tions of approaching danger, he cried at the top of his voice, to arouse all the inmbitants, "Tet-Taguen, Tetr Taguen. (Open your eyes, Open your eyes.) In course of time the settlement was renamed, and it derived its new appellation from this warning cry.-- Goldthwaite's. * (And continuing in like manner as to all candidates to be voted for at such election.) No name shall be put on the ballot ex-' sept those regularly sent in by nomina­ tion papers or by certificates of caucus nominations. A voter "may subscribe to one nomi­ nation for each office to be filled, and no more." The ticket of each caucus nomination will be printed in full on the ballots, and, when the ballot is composed entire­ ly of petitioners' tickets, each group may be printed full, regardless of repe­ titions; but, when it contains one or more lists of regular caucus nomina­ tions no name appearing in such lists can be added to the ballot by petition for the same office. A candidate can withdraw his name after nomination only at his only re^ quest in writing, acknowledged before a justice Or notary, and filed the requir­ ed number of days before' election. In case a candidate duly nominated dies, or declines a nomination; or when certificates of nomination or nomina- papers "are held to be Insufficient or in­ operative;" the vacancy may be filled by another petition of the persons making the original nomination, adding to the petition a statement as to the fact of the death, resignation, insufficiency, etc.; or, by another caucus, or in ac­ cordance with provision made at the caucus, if the vacancy occur under a caucus nomination. All objections to certificates of nomi­ nation or nomination papers after they have been filed must be made in writing; and all questions arising in relation to them shall be settled by the Board, and ths decision of a majority of the Board shall be iinal. The various tickets must all be print­ ed on one bailot, each with its appropri­ ate title, to be supplied by the Clerk, if titles be wanting. Candidates will find it to their advantage to distinguish their ticket by some title or heading. On the back of each ballot must be printed the words "official ballot," fol­ lowed by the name of the town or pre­ cinct for which the ballot is prepared, the date of the election, and a fac sim­ ile, by means of an, electrotype, of the signature of the Town Clerk or person whose duty it is to furnish the ballot. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTHRB. Give your name, and if required, your residence to the judges of the election. ~ If your name is on the register, you will be permitted to enter the inclosed space inside the guard-rail. If your vote is not challenged, one of the judges, after indorsing his initials on the back thereof, will hand you a ballot. If your name is not on the register, or your vote is challenged, you wili not re­ ceive a ballot until you have established your right to vote, by affidavit or other­ wise. When you have received a ballot, re- tive at once alone into one of the voting booths, unfold your ballot and prepare it for the ballot box by marking it thus, X. You will find printed on the ballot, in columns, side by side, all the candidates of all the parties to bo voted for at that election. At the top of each column you will find the name of each party ticket or list of candidates, as "Republican," "Demo­ cratic," "Prohibition," etc. Pldced before, or to the left Of each of these headings, you will notice a circle 1-inch in diameter. If you want to vote the "straight" party ticket, you will se­ lect the party of your choice and mark a cross in the circle, and do not mark your ballot at any other place nor in any other way. Your ballot, so marked, will be counted for all the candidates nom­ inated by your party. Opposite, to the left, of each*name on the ballot, you will find a square. If you do not want to vote for all the candi­ dates of any party "straight," place a cross in the square, opposite the name of the candidate of your choice, but do not mark a cross in the circle opposite the name of the party, and your ballot will be counted only for the names marked. Or, you can write in trfb name of the candidate of your choice in the blank space on the ticket, making % cross op­ posite thereto. If vou want to vote for the candidates a cross X opjfcssite only one name, 3 votes will be eounteiT-fwthat candidate. Ji you mark a cross X opposite two names, 1J votes will be counted for each candi­ date. If you mark three names with a cross X, each candidate will be given 1 vote. If the names only of the candi­ dates, and not the number of votes to be given each, are printed on the baiioi, and you want to divide your vote un­ equally, you must mark the names oi the candidates with a cross X, and folio-# the name with the number of votes you intend to give csch. In voting on any proposition submitted to vote and printed on the ballot, make a cross X mark in the column opposite the heading "Yes" or "No," aud youi ballot will be cbunted "for" if you mark opposite "Yee," and "against" 11 you mark opposite "No." Do not mark your ballot in any othei way except as indicated above. Before leaving the voting booth, fold your ballot so as to conceal the marks, and to expose the official indorsement on the back. Leave the booth and hand your ballot to iht) judge lii charge Oi the J>sliot^bcx, who, without marking it in any way, must deposit it hi the box. You will not be allowed to occupy a vct ng booth with another voter. - You will not be allowed to oocupy a booth moiv thau five minutes if others are waiting to vote. You will not be allowed to remain in the inclosed space more than ten minutes, and you must quit it as soon as you have voted. You will not be allowed to re-entei the Anelosed space, after you have voted, during the election. Tou will not be allowed to take a ballot from the polling place before the close of the OIOPHATI You will not be allowed to vote any ballot except the one you receive from the judges. it you spoil a ballot In preparing it, you must return it and get another in the place of it. If you will declare upon oath that you cannot read the English language, oi that by reason of physical disability you aro unable to mark your ballot, upon re­ quest you will be assisted by two offi­ cers, appointed for that purpose, of oppo- aite political parties. These offioers will mark your ballot as you direct. Intoxication will not be regarded as iphysical disability, and if you are in­ toxicated you will receive no assistance in marking your ballot. The polls will open at 7 o'clock in th^ morning and close at 5 o'clock in the evening, except in cities having a Board of Election Commissioners, where they open at o'clock in the morning ana close at 4 o'clock in the evening. Be­ tween these hours you are entitled tc absent yourself from your place of em­ ployment for the period of two hours for the purpose of voting. You will not be liable to any penalty for your absence, nor shall any deduction be made from your wages or salary on that account; but you must ask for lea^e of absence before the day of election, and your em­ ployer may specify the hours during which you may be absent.

First ana fore­ most wii be the visit of inspection at the Worm's Fair grounds. It goes with­ out saying? that as the invitation came VnBIf'fl ris?! !?f! If SOLID FOR DAVID. Ready. During the rebellion in Chili, one young girl had the chance of dis­ tinguishing herself in a moment ol danger, and hesitated not a moment in embracing it. This was the daugh­ ter of Don Claudio Vicuna, and hei father thus described the story of hei heroism to the author of "Dark Days in Chili": One evening at six o'clock, during my absence, my daughter was writing some letters for me at a table. Sud­ denly she heard a crash of broken glass, followed by a loud explosion at the street end of the room, and there had been so much bomb work of late that instinctively she guessed what had happened. Before she could collect herself sufficiently to rush for the door, a second bomb was hurled in, and rolled almost to her feet, providen- tially without exploding. This she picked up, and threw from the other window into the court below; then, seeing that some brown paper was smoldering in a half-open box of rifle cartridges, she quickly dashed a large jug of water over it!" By this time the servants had rushed in, and succeeded in ex­ tinguishing the fire which had caught the curtains and furniture. But my brave girl, remembering that I had gone out unarmed, took my revolver and started out alone to meet me on my way home, and it was not until I had been provided with the weapon that she told me what had happened. TWM Ever Thus. "The most popular animal in the world, is probably not the horse nor the dog, but the scapegoat. "What's the matter, Mary?" . "Somefin awful's happened, mam­ ma!" "Well, my dear, what is it?" "My d--doll--baby got away from ra«, arjd bwoked a plate out in the pantwy."--Harper's Young People. IK a world where human beings are born at the rate of one a second or oftener, it is not astonishing that a child makes its appearance now and then who grows up to the stature of manhood, becomes a judge at a poll­ ing place, and is capable of insulting women who ask to be registered as voters. But ft seems tough that in the distribution of such men over the face of the earth more than one of them should have fallen to the lot of Chicago. A DISTINGUISHED London practi­ tioner says that victims of the grip should observe total abstinence from alcoholic beverages, .while a dis­ tinguished New York practitioner advises the use of such stimulants. This leaves an opening for patients to consult their respective tastes, a thing that they are very liable to do in any event. WICKED sophomores at the R»ake Forest seminary tied a rope about the 'waist of a freshman--or freshgirl rather--and pulled it so tight that the victim fainted. While the prac­ tice of hazing is ordinarily to be re- probated, yet if it takes the form of an object lesson in the evils of tight e faculty may well wink at it. m. wv»rii.ATiuN HOIS NEWS* - ' , * .• J*" V " *'r% 1 ki' BBQUUHX THB * HOLE OUTFIT from the citizens of Chicago there will be no attempt on the part of the Fair officials to usurp the time or to prejudice the session. They will be on hand to explain when asked and to furnish de- sired information, leaving the colossal panorama at Jackson paik to ieti its uwu story. Congress itself will take the lead, as is proper, and thfre will be no attempt on the part of any one to influ­ ence its judgment as to what it shall do in the premises. Chicago is confident that seeing will be believing in this case, and that when members have used their eyes in Seeing and their tongues in asking t.hw will «ro back to Washington thoroughly quali­ fied to talk, act, and vote intelli­ gently. They will have the op­ portunity to discover how money has been spent, how the great under­ taking has grown, and how much more will be needed to make the great Na­ tional Fair worthy of the States which have contributed so generously tor their own representation, and of the whole country, which has made Its appeal to the nations of aii the woria, through its President and Secretary of State, to come and send their exhibits. What­ ever may be the result of this visit Chi­ cago will be contented. It no fears, however, as to the future official action of Congress after its members have had the opportunity of seeing for themselves what has been done and what remains to do. One hour of personal Inspection will be more convincing than weeks of talk or months of argument would be. If the time allows, there is another national matter which should engage the ottention of the session., There is a cuge building at the corner Dearborn and Jackson streets, inywhich the^i^nl- hral Government transacts its postal, austom-house, law court, and other business, wffich is slowly but surely tumbling down by piecemeal. It is im­ portant that the Congressmen should sie this disintegrating pile for them­ selves, and If they will risls the visit they may even have a chance to see some of it fall while they are there. They should then make a filing trip to the lake-front and inspect the oppor­ tunities there for the erection of a gov­ ernment building. This done it will be in order to move for an adjournment of the Chicago session. TO BE A THIRD TICKET. The People's Fartjr to Have m Candidate or fi« Own. There will be a people's, or a third party, or an industrial Presidential ticket in the field in the coming cam­ paign. This much may be set down as a fact. The nominating convention will be held prior to the first week in June, when the representatives of the Repub­ lican party will assemble in national convention in Minneapolis. The loca­ tion of the gathering will be either St. Louis, Birmingham, Ala., or Atlant% Ga. The Presidential timber will be con­ fined to L. L. Polk of North Carolina, Congressman Tom Watson of Georgia, ex-C ougresBJiian Feaihuruon of Arkan­ sas, Colonel It, M. Humphreys of Teicaa, and ri. G. Taubeneck oi Iliinois. The choice for Vice President will rest be­ tween George F. Washburno of Massa­ chusetts, Congressman John Davis of Kansas, and Marion Cannon of Califor­ nia. Present indications favor the somewhat euphonious ticket of "Tommy and George." Politics is mighty "onsartin," ' but this is the barometer of the delegates to the confederated Industrial conference which assembled in formal session in the Exposition Building, says a dispatch from St. Louis. Fifteen hundred have arrived--enough to crowd the Hotel Richelieu and all the boarding houses for a quarter of a mile aroundr-and five times that number are expected, accord­ ing to the advance credentials that have been received. Delegate Washburne, of Boston, who was Secretary of the People's Party Convention held in Cincinnati last Feb­ ruary, says that the assemblage Is the biggest industrial conference ever held on earth; that the delegates represent organizations with an actual member­ ship of 7,000,000, and that a majority of the actual voters at the South are rep­ resented. Appearanoes favor the olalm. Certain it is, moreover, that all the political isms that have ever been given birth in the home of the free and the land of the brave will have voice and utterance. The spokesmen of the single tax theo­ rists, of the Grangers, of the Prohibi­ tionists, the Greenbackers, the bimetal- lists, the sub-treasuryites, the antis, the Knights of Lab r, the anti-monopolists and the woman suffragists are here in force. Frances Willard, accompanied by Lady Henry Somerset, who simply looks on with British eyes, was first on the field. Following in her wake came A. J. Streeter, of Illinois, the People's party oandldate for the presidency four year* ago; Jesse Harper, of the same State, who boaBts of the honof of having placed Abraham Lincoln in nomination; Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota; Gen. James B. Weaver, Iowa; Col. B. M. Humphreys, of Houston, Texas, Super' lntendent of the Colored Alliance of the South; Representative Taubi neck, Illi­ nois; Bobert Schilling, Milwaukee; Lb L.

The Albany conven- "41 octtlcu tuiugB <M9 far as the first ballot fl\\ at Chicago goes, for ^ y^the convention in- *n.I. structed the dele­ gates to "present" the name of David B. Hill, and that means that they must vote for Hill at least one ballot, and as much longer as the ma­ jority of seventy-two delegates say, for from now on the unit rule governs them. The convention was for Tammany, Hill and tariff reform, r ni it applauded each of thom. Everything was domt with a view to its effect on Senator Hill's' presi­ dential canvass. Not a speech was made except by Temporary Chairman Beebe, Permanent Chairman Sickles and Senator Hill. These speeches had been prepared in advanee, submitted snd t-ovi and conies were for dis­ tribution. The work of the convention was quickly done. George Standish Weed, 9on of Smith M. Weed, made a tem­ porarily successful protest against the report from half the delegates of his, Congressional district, giving the other half no delegates to Chicago. That was the only approach to a fight against Hill anywhere on the floor of the convention, and Mr. Weed did not mention Senator Hill's name, though it was well known, that if he was sustained at least one delegate hostile to Senator Hill would be sent to Chicago. Outside of New York, Brooklyn, and Troy there were f«w pmnilneot. Democrats among the delegations, Mr. Croker and Mr. Mc­ Laughlin made their delegations as strong as they could, but in the country iictrictc th.c Ips.dcrs sc^m to h***4* the leSfeer men to the State convention and reserved for themselves the place of delegates to the national convention. ^ Ex-President Cleveland's name was not mentioned during the proceedings at any time, and no allusion of any kind to him was made. Senator Hill, in his speech, talked of Governor Tllden, and the platform refers to the time of Til- den. The intermediate administrations are skipped. After the convention had adjourned, a conference of objectors met in Union Hall and organized. Ex-Secretary Fair- ?hlld called the conference^ to order, naming as Permanent Chairman F. D. Locks, of Buffalo. Mr. Fairchild said that the conf renoe was to express dis­ approval of the methods prevailing at the other Convention, and he hoped ac­ tion would be taken of a forcible char­ acter. A large number of delegates from New York had arrived at noon and nearly every city in the State was now represented, not by paid pollticans, but by men • interested in the welfare of the State and nation. Mr. Fairchild said ihat a convention would be held later which would send delegates to Chicago. Chairman Locke, upon taking the ?halr, said: Gentlemen of tbe convention, there are. times In the history of the party when it Is necessary for men to assert their rights. Hie will of tbe luajorit/ of the p irty has been selzsd by a small faction of the party who wish to us® the party for their own personal benefit, or what benefit* they may receive from one man, and that than Is DtSvId B. Hill. What remedy have we against this order of things if we are not protected by the law? What remedy, I again ask: if it Is not in revolution? What Is the duty of self-respecting deiogates un­ der such conditions! We believe In tariff reform, honest money, honest public ad­ ministration for the public good. We be­ lieve that the office should seek the man, not the m:in the offi< e, and it is such a man as this who should VTO before the Chl- c».so convention with the indorsement of the representative Democrats of the State. The list of delegates was read and a large number of the n imes were loudly applauded. Thirty-six of the sixty counties wera represented. After further speeches the convention adopted resolutions to hold an anti-Hill convention at Syracuse May 31 to elect delegates to the Democratic convention at Chicago and then adjourned. , It i6 said that the plan of campaign of the provisional State committee, so far as determined, is to get 100,000 signa­ tures of Democratic voters throughout the State to a pledge against Hill and lay this monster pledge before the Chi­ cago convention.
