ItaUllig Colt*. r _ The following 1* a prize farm re? port made by J. W. Rowers fur the Southern Iturallst: I have had most experience and beat luck raising mules and will write of what I have done with one marc. Thirteen years ago I traded | littb horse for a four-year-old mare and went to raising mules. She has rais? ed ten mules nnd one horse colt. It being a mare, making eleven head In all. I bred her soon after 1 traded for her and she has missed raising a <colt only one year since. I sold the first for I I SO.00 at six years old; the second, a yearling past, for $7 5.00; the third died, when altered, worth $76.00. The next pair I sold at thr? e and four past for $500.0.. I have the other six head, the mar?; five years o?d. worth $150.00. four year old rr.ule worth $200.00; one pair two and three year-old worth $100.00. The little rolt. three weeks Old .worth $40.UO. I am a farmer and was renting land when I traded for this mare .but I bought me a small place, you might aay without a house on It. and owed $100.00 on the land; looked like it would always take the crop to live on; but In due time Old Maud rais? ed that $400.00 pair of mules and paid our place out and we took the $160.00 mule and built us a house. She worked In every crop since I owned her. Had It not been for those mules I don't see how I would have paid that little place out Now I have sold and bought a larg? er pla<e. 1 owe $1,100.00 on It; I want t.? *ee what old Maud and the young mare can do in helping me out. I have five mules to begin with. Here are what all of the colts are worth. I think 1 have put a reason? able price on the ones I now have. The first four sold First.$150.00 Second. 75.00 Third?died?worth $75.00 Fourth and fifth one pair.. .. 400.00 Total.$625.00 The six I have left: Young mare worth.$150.00 Four-year-old mule.$200.00 Pair, two and three years now 250.00 Yearling.100.00 Tittle colt. 40.00 Total for all.$1.365.00 Tbl? mar* StnSSyi eine? well snd It fat end sleek sow.

SXOlalm ?1 Secretary Ballinger with ft sardonic smile when ho was on the u itness-stand before the Congress? ional Investigating Committee. The 'snakes" are the men In ills depart? ment who have fulled to "stand by him." Whta Qlavts unearthed the Cunningham olatms, Glavli was promptly discharged. When Klrhy loM Ins facts la regard to the pre? paration of the Tatt letter of vindi? cation, Klrhy was dtseharg*d. Now Mr. 1 Millinger has set SOOOt the work of driving from the Government ser vlee those wh<? gave testimony that was unfavorable to him. He has sum? marily (Iis. harmed Horace T. Jones. Jones was the special agent of the Land OfflCS who collected consider? ate evidence tending to prove the fraudulent character of the Cunning? ham coal-land claims. He was sum? moned l>y the investigating committ? ee, was compelled to testify, and, though every effort was make to break down his testimony, it stood the test. This testimony involved Ballinger and his friends. Ballinger ? tilers the dismissal of Jones. The Director of the Reclamation iersles and the Chief Engineer dis? agreed with Mr. Ballinger on many points. They riuestioned the truth of some of his statements. It is un? derstood that both officials will he re? moved. But the Ballinger snake-killing unpaign by no means ends with those he regards as his active 'ene? mies." It extends to officials who re rased to aid i t his defense. Prof. Joseph A. Holmes is regarded as the ablegt expert in certain features of mining ?*nd mine-rescue work In this country. Congress created a Bureau of Mines in order to extend the not? able work in which Professor Holmes has been engaged for several years, and no other man was thought of for the first chief of this bureau. Holmes takes no interest whatever in politics, lb* refused to take sides or to be mixed up in any way with the Bal? linger affair. He spent his time in attending strictly to business. Holmes was the DO*WOrfcSff of Secretary Gar field and Gifford Pinchot in the pre? vious administration. But he failed to rush to the rescue of Ballinger, and the Secretary of the Interior is do? ing everything in his power to hu? miliate Dr. Holmes and appoint an i chief of the Bureau of Mines. Ml lllnger is sorely taxing the of the American people. His >n the witness stand and his course since that time show clearly ahat manner of man he is. It is not the Joneses and the Glav ises of this administration who de? serve removal, but the Baliingers, the Dennetts and all the kit and crew of servile underlings who sneeze ev? ery time the Secretary takes snuff. In spite of all the "vindication" that whitewashing committees can fur? nish, in spite of all the letters of "ex? oneration" that friendly attorneys in draft and the President sign, the bead Of Ballinger himself is demand? ed ?>\ the people of the United States and Mr. Tatt will he forced to recog? nize that demand, or still further Weaksfl and disorganize his party.?

Prom present indications the next national house of ropresentatlves will 1m> Democratic. The signs point un? mistakably in this direc tion. But the majority by Urbich the Democrats will control the popular assembly is quite another thing. If the table which has recently been completed by some of the more en thuslastice prophets is verified by re? sults, the Democrats will carry 121 districts and the Republicans 16?; dis? tricts in the fall eleeeions. giving the former an emphatic majority with which to organize the next house and to choose the next speaker. According to this forecast the Democratic congressmen will be dis? tributed as follows: Alabama 9, Arkansas 7, California 3, Colorado 3. Connetlcut 1, Deleware 1, Florida 3, Georgia 11. Idaho 1, Illinois 10, In? diana 8, Iowa 3, Kansas 2, Kentucky 9, Louisiana 7, Maine 4, Maryland 4, Massachusetts 6, Michgan 2, Minne? sota 3, Mississippi 8, Missouri 14.

South Carolina 7, South Da? kota 1, Tennesseee 8, Texas 1G, Vir? ginia 9, West Virginia 2, Wisconsin 3 Total 224. The Republicans will be apport ioned in the following manner: Cal? ifornia 5, Connecticut 4, Illinios lft, Indiana 5. Iowa 8. Kansas 0, Ken tucky ~, Maryland 2, Massachusetts' s. Michigan 10. Minnesota 6, Mis? souri 2, Nebraska 3, New Hampshire 8, New Jersey 5, New York 18, North Carolina 1, North Dakota 2, Ohio 12. Oklahoma 1, South Dakota 1, Tenn essee 2, Utah 1, Vermont 2, Virginia 1, Washington 3, Wisconsin 7, Wy omlng 1, Total 106. Solid Democratic delegations ar given to thirteen states: Alabama, Ar? kansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, South Carolina and Texas. Solid Republican delegations are conceded to only seven states: New Hampshire, North Dokato, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wy oming. New York's delegation will be di? vided into almost equal halves. In view of the fact that In the pres ent house the Republicans have a majority of 56, It will require some thing of an upheaval to give the Democrats a majority of 58; but upon such an outcome scores of enthusias tic Democrats are counting. Even the opposition virtually concedes de? feat. With th senate Republican how? ever, it will be impossible to effectu? ate any Democratic legislation along radical lines, but reform measures can be passed by the house and responsi? bility for defeating them can be put upon the party in power.?Atlanta Georgian. Another Horace Mack. Horace Mack, who has been em? ployed as porter by DeLorme's Phar? macy for the past eight years and who also runs a public hack has been very much annoyed and worried re? cently by the fact that another negro of the same name has been arrested for various infractions of the law and is under indictment for trial at the next term of the Court of General Sessions. Some people have jumped at the Conclusion that DeLorme's Horac e Mac k has fallen into evil ways I ami have asked him about being In? die ted. This Horace wants everybody to know that he is still working at the same place and is in no wise con? nected with the Horace Mack, who is under indictment. Beared Into Bound Health. ?Mr. Ii. F.

In the reopening of the old Ense nanesa Church on Callie de Doneeles. 1 i formerly Cordobanes. one of the rich? est and moat valuable gems of art : work was restored to public enjoy- ? ment. This church was among the prop? erty confiscated by the stite at the time of the constitutional reform movement and the separation of chlurch from state in. Mexico, it was later conditionally restored as a house of Catholic worship ,and in 1 S04 con? demned again by the government for the purpose of enlarging the federal district and palace of justice and civ? il courts building. The church was constructed about 175 years ago out of funds donated by a wealthy Span? ish countess and placed in charge of the religious order that conducted the Ensenaneza convent now used by the federal courts. I In addition to the handsomely carv? ed high altar, a rich piece of work ? in cedar overlaid with pure gold leaf and reaching to the top of the nave, are ten side altars, equally as hand- j somely carved and also ov erlaid with ! ine gold. Very little, comparatively, of the wall space is left uncovered | by these massive gilded furnishings, and this space is oil paintings, some j of the rarest works of art of the kind in Mexico City, including one or two | genuine masters. On account of the rare value of these decorations, and their unique I i character as the only church decora- ' tions of the kind in Mexico, Secretary j of Finance Limantour some time ago took steps to have the temple restor- 1 ed to the religious authorities, sue- ! ceeding in having the plans for en- ! larging the court buildings over that j site. The keys were Turned over to j the archbishop of Mexico who in turn i i placed the church in care of Father , Francisco Alvares has had workmen | employed cleaning the altars and paintings and otherwise renovating j the temple, and when it was opened for service May 31 it formed perhaps j the richest and most pleasing church Interior in the republic. ?
