Miss Minturn, of the Burnham
industrial farm, stated at a confer
ence on the care of children in New
i York that the only corporal punish
; ment allowed in that institution is
( slipper spanking, “the moral effect
’ of which lay in the fact that the
' slipper is taken from the foot on the
. spur of the moment.” And also in
the fact that in the hands of the
matronly expert it feels like a pair of
. spurs.
A woman’s hand is pretty valua
ble. Many a man has given up all
he possessed to get one, but that
was sentiment, not law. An Illinois
woman recovered $4,700 for the loss
of a hand, or at the rate of $9,400 a
, pair. This is somewhat more than
woman’s wrists are valued at. A Miss
i
Jones, a nurse of Chicago, was paid
. for one fractured wrist at’the rate of

the Manchester canal, as
■Braid the waterworks of Glasgow.
Kt is an event important enough to at
tract her majesty to Manchester.
The canal was projected in 1888. Liv
erpool has 490 acres of docks, and these
would, many of them, be left desolate if
a ship canal were built that should carry
steamers directly past Liverpool to Man
chester. Therefore the dock and railway
interests set themselves against the oa
nal with all their combined force. The
matter was brought before partilament,
and the opposing interests fought the
thing out tooth and nail. The canal
company spent $600,000 trying to per
suade parliament to give it a charter. It
is not claimed that this was used in ac
tual bribery or “promoting” the canal,
as was the case in the Panama affair,
but experts were brought from all over
the world to show that the project was
feasible. The American Captain Eads
among others received a fee of $90,000.
At last the canal won, as progressive en
terprises do finally .
Our Commercial Supremacy.
Mr. John R. Proctor, writing in The
Forum, says that England seems to be
either trying to fetter the cqjßmerce of
the world or insure the good behavior
of mankind by acquiring strategic
points ill over the world and fortifying
them, in addition to having coaling sta
. tions scattered through all the oceans.
He does not like to see England having
everything her own way. butjieclares
' that the United States sboulaenter the
1 struggle for commercial supremacy and
wrest it from the mother country’s
grasp. He mentions a fact rather to
! our discredit, as follows: A New York
i merchant not long since to ship
a cargo of cannel coal from Norfolk to
' Rio Janeiro and found that he could
send it from Norfolk to Liverpool, then
. reship it to Rio Janeiro cheaper he
j could send it direct from NorfoW to
that place.

per cent of all the coalfields of ths Civil
ized world. In 1891 the United States
turned out 34 per cent of the world’s
output of pig iron, England only 80 per
cent. The United States produces 80 per
cent of all the cotton grown. Yet we
only manufacture one-sixth of the
world’s supply. Great Britain manufac
tures three times as much and distri
butes throughout the world not only
that product but nearly all the rest.
Mr. Proctor does not believe that the
war caused the decline in the American
merchant marine. ' It began before the
war, he says,.-- immediately following
1856. The cause of the decline he at
tributes to the immense development of
our own west and south and the build
ing of many railways. This gave a
more profitable investment for our capi
tal than the putting of it into ships for
commerce. Now, however, producing
so great a proportion of the world’s raw
material, it is our duty to get back the
commerce we formerly enjoyed. The
first step toward this is the completion
quickly of a canal across the isthmus,
thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans.
Mr. Proctor does not believe in a tar
iff. He says that England’s commercial
supremacy on the seas dates from her
adoption of free trade. But Great Brit
ain subsidizes her ocean steamers liber
ally on condition that in case of war
they form part of her naval reserve. To
match this Proctor thinks our govern
ment should aid in building the isthmus
canal, and then allow to pass through it
free such American ships as agree to
form part of our naval reserve.
The first case unaer tne new Russian
extradition treaty has been settled with
credit to the United States. Nine con
victs recently escaped from Siberia and
after horrible sufferings found refuge on
American ships bound for San Francisco.
They were landed there in due time.
Then the attempt was made on the part
of the Russian authorities to make the
men out criminals of the worst sort.
One was a counterfeiter, it was charged;
another an embezzler; still a third a
murderer, and so on. This was natur
ally the resort of a government not
scrupulous in its diplomatic and detect
ive methods. It was the fear of such
misrepresentations as this that caused
the American public last year to protest
so vigorously against the ratification of
the new treaty with Russia under the
form in which it was presented. How
ever, in case of the refugees at San
Francisco, the American government de
cided that they were bona fide political
prisoners in Siberia, and that the United
States had no right to hold them. Th*
Russian minister was notified of this de
cision, and Secretary Carlisle ordered
the release of tha men.

THE VERDICT.
Now for the testimony. Dr. Martin, of
Atlanta, testifies that he has used
Stuart’s Gin and Buchu
In his practice with fine results, and that
he has even cured Bright’s disease of the
kidneys with it, after all other remedies
failed.
Dr. Fontaine, of Rex, Ga., testifies that
he has been prescribing Stuart’s Gin and
Buchu for some time, and that it is the
best remedy he knows for kidney, urinary
and all bladder troubles.
Dr. E. L. Mobley, of Atlanta, testifies
that he suffered for years with some ob
scure kidney trouble, which at times
gave him great pain and suffering. Al
though he tried ill manner of remedies,
both regular and irregular, he found no
relief until he took STUART’S GIN AND
BUCHU. It made a perfect cure. We

Once said a wise man of theEastVut we are
convinced this man had never rdtd one of
W. M, Gammon & Co.s’ advertisements and
then examined their stock of Fine Clothing
Hats and Furnishing Goods. They make
it a point to always tell the truth in regard
to quality, style and price. They desire to
call the attention of the people of this sec
tion to the fact that they carry the best and
perfect-fitting suits and overcoats
known to the trade.
The finest and most stylish Hats made
on this continent, and the newest and nob
biest things in Neckwear, Underwear or any
other wear that can be used by man, boy or
child. They not only do this, but they make
the prices as low, or lower than any other
house dares to name. We propose to do
the clothing business in Rome. We carry
the stock to please the people and say to
every one, visit our store, and if first-class
goods, low prices and honest dealing will
make you a customer, you are “ourn.”
