Pacific Mail and Oregon Transcontinental
were stronger, and Lake Shore weak. Lack
awanna was a feature, being especially
strong and leading the market. The market
closed firm at or near th- highest point of the
day. Lackawanna's strength was due to the
favorable rumors r-garding the company's

Chicago. Nov. 29.—The leading markets on
’Change to-day were generally heavy and
lower, opening generally stea-'y on cable ad
vices of 2d advance, but the posting of two
more loads of wheat in B.ooklyu, a report
from the Northwest that the elevators arc
full, amt the fact that the bulk of the crowd
arc long, soon worked the market off lc in
January w heat and 2 5 ;c in November corn,
and brought about a heavy close. W heat
opened steady and fractionally higher, hut
the orly strength in themuiket was for the
first hour. New York grams eased off rapidly
under a lack of demand from traders on the
other side, aud the receipts were heavy, with
prospects of very free arrivals during the
esming week. The reports of the stocks in the
Minnesota elevators were very discouraging
to the “bulls.” No. 2 spring sold from 73%(£&
7tV„c. The market closed heavy at a decline
of about lc from the opening figures. Corn
was very irregular focJtovember, which was
not wanted, an 1 fell cfTSJa*-’ from the highest
point, closing 2 7 -c lower than jesterday.
Other options held up with more firmness,
bat were nevertheless weak and lower.faliing
off Trading was moderately active,
liur was confined to the local crowd and
brought out some big operators. No. 2 cash
ranged from Oats continued
steady but inactive, traders keeping out of
tbe market and expecting a break became of
the unnatural distance between the price of
corn and oats. The market closed steady.
Provisions were moderately active, but
prices went steadily downward for want of
support, in sympathy with the other market.

Concerning Ebullitions of Spleen.
Editor Morniny News: In Apuleius’
Metamorphoses, Lucius, while relating
his adventures during his life as an ass,
describes his once attempting to make a
vigorous denial of a certain charge, com
mencing with the word “No!” lie saith:
“ Verbum quidem prtecedens semel ac im
modice clamitavi”— “the first word (no) I
indeed roared out valiantly.” But alas!
his assinine utterance could go no fur
ther, or, as he saith, “ sequens vero nullo
pacto disserere potui .”
As Juvenal observes, “Jiiitorla se re
petal?' and the one who writ against me
in yesterday’s paper succeeded little bett r
than the one in Apuleius. He brought
out bis emphatic “no!” but further than
thi9 his utterances were tox et pneterea
nihil, if I may be allowed to use slang,
and should he write again—which the
gods forefend!—l suggest that he sub
scribe that motto as a fitting pseudonym.
But apart from this well intentiomd
raillerv I would seriously advise my reck
less assailant against his thus giving way
to his distemper. Mercurialis thinks
these violent ebulition9 of choler arise “a
ktpett* calore ’’ —from heat of the liver.
Montaltus, on the other hand, thinksthe
cause is “splen obstructin'’— obstructions
of-tbe spleen, while Gordonius considers
the trouble mav be traceable to almost
any part of the' body, “cum ibi remanet
humor nHlanchoiicus"— when not well
cleansed of melancholy blood.
A 9 to the remedy, the hop (fupu/us) is
higblv recommended. Fuchsius saith,
“ot/ein atramque detrahit, sanquinem pur
<7<rf”_it purgeth bilious choler, and puri
fieth the blood. Let, then, my assailant
betake himself to some Teutonic tavern
wherein is dispensed the foaming vintage
of Milwaukee or the sparkling juice of
Tivoli, and be healed of his malady.
Nor would he do well to procrastinate.
Perchance he is still in the flower and
heat of his youth—which may partly ex
cuse bis disrespect. If so, let him hasten
to be cured. If his intemperate madness
so disfigures youth, what a lamentable
object he will be when overcome by age if
still afflicted! For as the witty and dis
cerning Martial saith:
Dtformiu*. Afer ,
Omnino nihil est ardelione **net"— •
A fer, have vou ne’er been tolU,
That of all fools there’s no fool like the old?

A NOTED TRIO.
A Playful Prank >Yhich Saved Mrs.

Her Fatlier and the Secretary of the
Navy W ere Killed—Mrs. Polk aud Mrs.
Harriet Lane Johnston.
Correspondence of the Murv.ina Xeice.
Washington, Nov. 28.—1f the tachelor
President feels at all embarrassed in re
gard to hi 9 social duties in the White
Ilou3e, he may be able to construct a spe
cial “cabinet” of most distinguished
ladies for this purpose, a trio of women
who have served in the capacity of mis
tress of the Executive Mansion in the
time when the Democratic party was at
tbe helm. It is an interesting fact, and
one perhaps not generally understood,
that while there are none of the Presi
dents of ante-bellum days yet living, there
are no less than three ladies yet left to
us who were the social head of the White
House in the days preceding the Republi
can dynasty. Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Tyler and
Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston are still left
to us. Mrs. Tyler, the “Bride of the
White House,” still lives near Rich
mond, a brilliant woman of 57
or 5-8. The grave of her husband,
made in 18G2, is still unmarked,
a reproach to the State of Virginia, whose
Legislature pledged itself to erect over it
a suitable monument. Mrs. Polk, who
was the next lady occupant of the White
House, still lives at “Polk Place,”
in Nashville, in her 82d year, a well
preserved, intelligent woman, waiting
patiently the summons to join her hus
band, who was called from her side 45
years ago, three months after the close of
his administration, and whose remains
lies beneath a marble temple on tbe
grounds of her present home. Mrs. Har
riet Lane Johnston, a handsome woman
of 53, whose reign as mistress of the
White House during the administration
of her uncle and adopted parent, James
Buchanan, is spoken ol as one of the most
brilliant in the social history ot Wash
ington, is a resident of Baltimore, having
married Mr. Henry Elliott Johnston, of
that city, in 18W>, two years prior to the
death of her uncle, the ex-President.
“If President Cleveland wants to do a
graceful thing,” said a gentleman com
menting upon the fact that those three
women or the AVhite House in ante
bellum days still live, “iet bim invite
Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Tyler anci Harriet
Lane to assist him in his first receptions
after the inauguration. *lt would be a
graceful action, and would recall a flood
of interesting memories ”
MRS. POLK.
And so it would. Mrs. Pollc, who was
spoken of by a traveled English lady as
“surpassing in dignity and attractions
any of three queens” that she had seen
upon the thrones of Europe; Harriet Lace
tbe brilliant mistress of the White House,
admired and honored by two continents,
and Mrs. Tyler, the “Bride of the White
House,” whose portrait in bridal dress
and veil still bangs in the Green
Room, pointed out to all visitors as the
onlv bride that has ever graced that _es
tublisbment as its mistress.
“I remember her veil,” said an old em
ploye of the AVhite House. It is iorty
years ago last June since she ottrae hero
ns the bride of President Tyler. It was a
joyous event but recalled some very sad
"memories, for right here, in the great
East Room, but a tew months before, tbe
mangled remains ot her father had been
brought from the steamer where he had
been killed almost before her eyes. You
don’t remember the bursting of the Peace
maker? No, there are not many now in
AVashington who have a personal recol
lection of that sail event. Well, the
President had met Miss Gardiner here,
and their engagement had been
made. She anti her father,
Mr. Gardiner, of Long Island, were visit
ing Washington, stopping at one ot the
hotels here, when they were invited by
the President to accompany a party con
sisting of the Secretary of the Navy, the
President, the Secretary of AVar, aud
home others who were going down the Po
tomac to test anew large cannon, called
the “Peacemaker.” It had been fired re
peatedly, and was considered entirely
safe. Ou tbe trip it was fired several
limes, with satisfactory results, and as
the boat was nearing AVashington on tbe
return all were called on deck to witness
the last shot. Air. Gardiner and the Sec
retary of the Navy, Mr. Upshur, went on
deck, and the President was about to go
when Mies Gardiner playfully hid his hat,
preventing bis going. Probably that lit
tle action on her part saved the country
its President and herself a Presidential
husband, for when the gun was fired it ex
ploded, killing the Secretary of the Navy
and Miss Gardiner’s father, the cries of
the wounded carrying the news to those
below that some terrible accident had
taken place. That was an awful expe
rience for that young girl. Her father’s
remains were brought here to the AVhite
House, and lay In state with those of the
Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Upshur.
Their funeral was preached in the East
Room, in the presence of a very large as
semblage. The result was that the wed
ding of Miss Gardiner with the Presi
dent, which had been set for the following
summer, was a very quiet one, none ex
cept the immediate’family of the bride
attending, and all New York being taken
completely by surprise when the guns
began firing in honor ot the event.
came directly here. She was a beautiful
young woman, as you will see by her por
trait in the Green Room.”
“You remember Airs. Tolk, then, if
your rec; llection ot Airs. Tyler is so
good?”
MRS. TYLER.
“Very well, indeed. She was a hand
some aiul fascinating woman, of tvhom
one prominent English lady, in visiting
here, said that she bad seen three (jueens
in Europe, and that none of them could
compare with Mrs. Polk. She was very
popular; so much so that a South Caro
linian once said to her during one of her
receptions that there was a woe pro
nounced against her in the Bible. She
inquired wish some concern, for she was
a deeply religious woman, what it
was, when he replied: ‘Well, the
Bible says: ‘Woe unto you when all men
shall speak well of you.’ It seemed to be
a very appropriate remark, for it seems
that everybody did speak well of her.
She was extremely popular.”
“And you remember Harriet Lane
well?”
“Oh. yes; that was only a little while
ago. Why it is only about 27 years since
she came here. Remember her—well, I
should say so. A beautiful, accom
plished, queenly young woman, a perfect
picture as she stood beside ter white
haired bachelor uncli who had been so
long a father to her, and whom she loved
with the most earnest affection. It w-as
hard to understand how one so young
could have seen so much of the world.
She had, when she came to the White
House seen all that there was worth see
ing of the courts of Europe, having been
for vears with her uncle at the court of
St. James, especially honored and beloved
by the Queen. Buchanan was very fond
of her, though he used to like to tease her
with some quiet good-natured stories of
her girlish days when she was quite a
romp. I remember how he used
to tell about her beating some
voung man in a foot race, and also
about her wheeling a load of wood
through the Streets of the town where she
lived to give it to some poor old woman.
She had many admirers, and many offers
of marriage, Air. Johnston, of Baltimore,
being the fortunate man. Poor woman—
she is lonely enough now—her husband
and both children dead.”
Airs. Johnston (Ilarrhrt Lane) was here
a short time since, n guest of Mrs. Horns
by, the daughter of the late Judge Jere
Black. She is in deep mourning for her
husband and children, all lost within the
past two years. She received ie w friends,
being occasionally seen on the streets
driving a handsome team, which 6he man
aged with all the old time grace and pre
cision recalled of her by those who knew
her here a quarter of a century ago.
MRS. HARRIET LANE JOHNSTON.
Airs. Tyler, whose daughter was mar
ried at Richmond a few days since, is a
resident of that city, where she has lived
pretty much all the time since leaving
the AVhite House. She is, although a
native ot New York, a Southern woman
in habit of life and thou'hr. having, as
did her husband, the ex-President, sym
pathized with the South in the struggle
of 1801-5. She has three living children,
ono the daughter recently married,
another a practicing physician of repute
in this city, a third who resides at Rich
mond and is engaged upon a literary
work upon the history of the Tyler fam
ily. •
Airs. Polk, the most advanced by far
in venrs ofthe trio, resides in Nashville,
within easy view of the grave of her hus
band, who died there 45 years ago. Air.
Justice Alatthews, ’ who is a
warm personal friend, who vis
its her every time his duties
him there, speaks of her cs the same
bright, thoughtful, intellectual woman as
when she lett the AVhite House. Her fac
ulties at the advanced age of 82 are still
well preserved, and she is honored by all,
distinguished men visiting her often, and
the Legislature of the State each year ad
journing to call upon her in a body.

TOE CHESAPEAKE BAY DISASTER
Sinking of tiic Steamship “Decatur H.
Miller” by the “AYiliiam Lawrence”—
The Wrecked Vessel Eying in Four
Fathoms of Water —The Causes of the
Collision.
The News contained yesterday a brief
account of the sinking in Chesapeake Bay
on Thursday attornoon of the steamship
Decatur H. Aliller, of the Alerchants’ and
Aliners’ Transportation Company, by the
steamship AYiliiam Lawrence, bound from
Savannah to Baltimore. The Miller was
bound from Baltimore to Boston. The
AVilliam Lawrence left Savannah oil Tues
day with a full cargo of cotton, naval
stores, lumber and merchandise, and hail
on deck nearly 2,500 boxes of oranges.
Her passenger list was small, numbering
only four in the cabin— o. F. Schruber and
wife, E. H. Pearson and T. Joseph. The
disaster occured about 5:30 o’cfock near
the mouth of what is known as the Lower
Craighill channel, about 40 miles belo.v
Baltimore. The Lawrence, it is said in a
statement to the Baltimore papers, blew
one whistle, which was to go to star
board. This was answered by one whistle
from the Aliller. Then the Miller blew
twice, which called for the Lawrence to
pass to the portside. The Lawrence then
answered with one whistle again, which
indicated that the captain was going to
pass to starboard, fir which he first blew.
The engines of the two vessels were re
versed at full speed, but did not prevent
a collision, vrtueh occurred almost imme
diately. The Lawrence struck the Aliller
bow on just forward of the forerigging,
cutting through and making a hole in
her side from the top to below water line.
The bow ot the Lawrence was stove in,
but she did not leak on account of her
forward water-tight bulkhead.
As soon as the vessels cleared the Alil
ler settled forward and the Lawrence
came to anchor. Capt. Hooper lowered
tbe boats of the Lawrence anil at once set
off for the Aliller. There were four pas
sengers on the Miller—two gentlemen aud
two ladies—who were at once sent on
board the Lawrence. The Aliller was
about fifteen minutes settling. She lavs
in four fathoms of water, her quarterdeck
just clear of the water, and the deck from
amidships forward covered about one loot.
She lies in an easy position, and can be
raised without any extraordinary trouble.
As soon as the passengers were on board
the Lawrence mattresses and bedclothes
in the staterooms on deck were transfer
red to the same vessel. The steamship
Johns Hopkins, of th same line,bound to
Providence, went alongside the wreck,
but her services were not needed.
The crew were placed on board the
Lawrence, but the officers of the Miller
stayed on board to care for matters. The
anchor cables of the Lawrence had to be
cut, her bow being so badly damaged as
to prevent the hoisting of them up. They
were buoyed,and the disaster was reported
in Baltimore upon arrival.
As soon as the collision occurred all
the crew went to their stations. The ut
most system prevailed in every move
ment, and there was no excitement. The
passengers took matters with great calm
ness, and none of them seemed to realize
any danger from the position. The Miller
hail a small cargo on board, none of which
was saved. The men lost everything but
what they had on. The Decatur H. Aliller
is an iron steamship of 2,296 tons register.
She was built in Wilmington, Del., in
1879, by Harlan & Hollingsworth, and
named after one of the directors of the
company. Tbe Aliller has held the honor
of being tho flagship of the Alerchants’
and Miners’ tine fleet of steamers. The
VYilliam Lawrence is also iron. She was
built in South Boston, and is of 576.31
tons register. This is the second disaster
the vessel has incurred during the
past two years, having collided
with the schooner Sarah Laviuia, sinking
her in the same waters a little over a year
ago. Capt. Hooper, her commander, is
the oldest coastwise steamship Captain
running to Savannah, and is regarded as
a carelul, efficient aiul in every way com
petent officer. He seems to be the victim
of misfortune in this and one or two
previous mishaps, in which, however, he
was exonerated from all blame and com
mended for his seamanship.
Editor Bromley’s story.
Rocheattr Post-Eepreets.
AVhen Nesmith was elected to the Sen
ate from Oregon, in the early part of the
war, he had never been in Washington;
never been east of the Rocky Alouutains,
in fact, since he emigrated as a boy to the
Pacific slope to seek his fortune. He bad
never seen a railroad or a locomotive
until he struck the Panama road at the
Isthmus, and, as he described himself,
was “green as a squash.” Upon reach
ing Washington, being too bashful to
present his credentials and be sworn in at
once, he spent a day or two looking down
upon that disiinguisbed body from a seat
in the gallery, so as to get the hang of
things a little before he ventured on the
floor. His diffidence wore off after a
little and bis great fund of. anecdote, his
fine vein of humor, his frontier frankness
and originality of character and manner,
drew around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in a group of
Senators who had been questioning him
concerning his adventurous life, Senator
AA’ilson of Massachusetts said: “I un
derstand, Senator, that you had never
seen a railroad until you came East, and
that everything of that sort in the way of
modern improvements was entirely new
to you. Now, lam curious to know what
struck you as being the most wonderful
thing that met your observation on this

Nesmith hesitated a moment, then said:
“AVell, I spent my first two or three days
in AA’ashington up there in the gallery,
looking at the Senate, and I think what
mo3t filled me with wonder was the
thought that I, who went off to Oregon
years ago a poor, uneducated boy, should
be here as a member of the highest legis

greatest wonder.”
‘•Well—but—l don’t mean that ex

or invention had excited most surprise,
“but. what after that most surprised
you ?’’
“Well,” said Nesmith, dropping his
serious manner and putting on a quizzi

tion of surprise at being here mvself,
what excited most wonder was how the
d —l the rest of you got here.”

THE STORY OF A SHANTY.
A MIIYLIONAII IE BROTHER SEEP
A SISTER DIE IN WANT.
Love fora Man Wadded to tbnCnpthe
Curse or a I.ire Whlcli Might Have
Known Naught Save Happiness—Ellen
Terry's Habitual Cough.
Correspondence of the ilornlno S'eta .
New York, Nov. 28.—At the corner of
Bleecker and Mulberry streets is a low
wooden shanty about four feet wide and
15 long. It stands directly on the side
walk, and is apparently an out-house of
the old-fashioned brick structure adjoin
ing, but, in reality.it is entirely separate.
The floor lies almost directly on the
ground, and the pipe of the stove that
warms it rises from the roof, the only
substitute for a chimney. On the simile
door of plain boards is this announce
ment: “Straw hats cleaned, dyed and
pressed, a specialty.” When the door is
open, a wooden sign containing the words,
“hat shop,” may be seen inside. On the
wall old hats of various sorts and pat
terns, including stove-pipes in the de
licious state of dilapidation that reuders
them eligible for a St. Patrick’s day pa
rade, hang. A bed and cooking utensils,
with one or two bits of domestic furni
ture, show that the shanty is occupied as
a habitation as well as a hat shop. The
shanty has but a single occupant now—
. John Condron. a drunkard, who spends
apparently hardly an hour in the 24 in
plying his trade as hatter, and the rest of
the time in quarreling with his neighbors,
llis wile died about two months ago. Her
disease was consumption, hastened,
doubtless, by poor food and exposure.
Worn out by poverty and hardship, the
woman died in this damp, cold hut, hardly
fit for a dog kennel. That she would have
lived longer had her life been rendered
more comfortable, seems to go without
saying.
Sunday’s papers contained an account
of the sale of the largest ranche in the
world. It comprised 800,000 acres ot land
in Texas, and with it were sold 200,000
head of cattle, horses and sheep. The
purchaser was the United States Land
and Investment Company. The price
paid was $0,500,000. “Capt.” Richard
King, the former owner of the largest
ranclie in the world, to whom this vat
sum was paid, is the brother-in-law of
John Condron, the drunken hatter, and it
was his sister who died twoamonths ago
from want and exposure!
To prove in a measure what I say, let
me tell you the circumstances under
which I came to know of the connection
between Mrs. John Condron and Richard
King. Half a dozen years ago I found,
one day, ihe sidewalk in Bleecker street,
not far from Mulberry, blocked by a lot oi
old furniture, which was guarded by a
sickly looking woman. The rain poured
down in torrents, and there, drenched to
the skin, she sat, on a rickety chair, and
had been sitting for hours. She had no
where to go for shelter. She had been
dispossessed! In a short talk with this
victim of landlordism and the elements, 1
learned oi her relationship to King.
Whatever doubts I may have at first had
as to the truth of her story wore removed
when a red-headed, horsiiy-dressed fellow,
who had also listened to it, cross-exam
inod her as to Texas geography and cer
tain facts personal to King. “She tells a
straight story,” the cross-examiner said
when he had ended his questioning, “I
used to drive cattle for Dick King and
know all her statements about him to bo
correct. Her geography, too, is all right.”
Mrs. Condron, in brief, said that her
brother and she came to this country to.
getber a third of a century ago penniless,
or the next thing to it.’ lie had in the
course of time drilled to Texas to become
a millionaire by cattle raising, leaving
her to marry a drunkard and live in
poverty. Her brother had not absolutely
forgotten her, but the occasional small
sums of money which he sent her were
too few and far between to do much good.
His last remittance had been so long be
fore that it had long since been exhausted,
and, as she had no money to pay the rent,
her landlord dispossessed her.
After spending two or three days and
nights on the sidewalk with her furniture,
Mrs. Condron, I subsequently learned,
obtained shelter in some poverty-stricken
lodgings which herhusbatid, after search
ing half the city, finally procured. After
wards they moved to" the shanty where
Mrs. Condron died.
The reason I remember so much of the
conversation with the homeless woman,
which took place in the rain so loDg ago,
is, perhaps, worth relating. The fellow
who had driven cattle tor Capt. King
turned to mo after his cross-examination
of his former employer's sister, and asked
whether I had called at the house of a
certain Columbia College professor re
cently. Incidently lie alluded to the
professor’s daughter as his cousin! I
know the man better now. His cattle
driving was only a freak, and be belongs
to a good Virginia family, and is a clever
newspaper man; but his announcement
in almost the same breath of being a
Texas cowboy and kin to the daughter of
one of the most esteemed professors of
Columbia College, at the time struck me
with such a ludicrous sense of incongruity
that I have never forgotten the circum
stances connected with the statement.
IT IS WONDERFUL WHAT FUNNY THINGS
people will say when intending to be most
serious. A young man who stood behind
my seat at ihe representation of “The
Merchant of Venice” by the Irving Com
pany at the Star Theatre, the other night,
remarked to his companion in a patroniz
ing tone, “Shakespeare’s plays are pretty
good—when they are well acted!” He
was evidently a cockney, and bis half-bred
British accent rendered his remark even
more deliciously obscure than it would
otherwise have been. Theodore Moss,
who ought to know better, was. by the
way, once guilty of a similar absurdity.
In an announcement of a Shakesperian
revival at Wallack’s Theatre, which he
sent to a newspaper office here, he alluded
to Shakespeare as “one of the greatest of
English dramatists,” which was certainly
a decided case of damning with faint
praise. The newspaper man to whom
Moss’ announcement was given to rewrite
resolved to give Theodore a lesson, and
he, accordingly, changed “one of the
greatest ol English dramatists’’ to “him
whom Buckle called the greatest of the
sons of men!”
The Star Theatre was crowded to the
doors the cignt 1 heard Shakespeare so
patronizingly spok ;n of. Although I got
there comparatively early, two of the
very worst seats in the last row of the or
chestral circle were all I could get, and
the worst of it was they cost as much as
those which are good.
ELLEN TERRY COUGHED CONTINUALLY
while she was on the stage personating
•“Portia,” and although the Britisher next
to me announced ‘’Terry always has a
cold, you know'” her cough seemed to
spring from something more serious. It
did not, however, interfere with her act
ing, Which WAS all that it has been de
scribed. Her lack ol mannerism or of
stage ways is wonderful. Her gestures
are at once unaffected as they are grace
ful. Irving, indeed, has mannerisms sul
ficient for his entire company, but, for all
that, in a single scene, when he is on the
stage alone, and simply crosses it with
out speaking, he always receives more
applause than all the rest put together.
Alter the elopement of “Jessica’’ a band
of masquers, with colored lanterns,
screaming and laughing, rush across the
stage, and the curtain falls upon a scene
ot life and animation. It rises imme
diately, and discloses the stage dark and
deserted. Irving, as “Shylock,’ advances
from the rear, crosses a bridge,approaches
his house, and, after knocking twice,
stands with an air of confident expecta
tion on his face, as he waits for his mer
cenary daughter to admit him. The cur
tain falls us he waits for the daughter
who has gone forever. Hardly anything
more impressive than his attitude could
be imagined.
I wanted to finish this letter without
speaking of politics, tut .Mayor Edson, by
his attempts to forestal his successor by
the appointment of Police Commissioner
French to succeed himself, and of ex-Al
derman McClure as Police Commissioner
in Col. Mason’s place, has prevented me.
Whether the Mayor is legally right or not
in considering the commissionerships
vacant, his action is none tha less treach
erous and unworthy. He has undoubted
ly entered into a plot with the Tammany
and Republican Aldermen to fill every
office he can with Tammany Democrats
and machine Republicans, so that Mr.
Grace when he becomes Mayor will find
the chief municipal departments occupied
by enemies. For, of course, the Tamma
ny Aldermen only consented to the con
firmation of the Republican Police Com
missioners rn the understanding that
their Republican colleagues were to unite
with them in their confirmation of a Tam
many successor to Hubert O. Thompson.
That there has been a “deal” is practical
ly acknowledged by Tammany men am!
Republicans alike, and Mayor Edson’*
connivance In it is condemned by all good
citizens. * D.

SOUTHERN PINERIES.
What Keeps Down the Prices of Resin?
Correspondents of the Xomint] A’n.
Traveling as some of us do every winter
through the pine regions of the South, we
must observe tbe great havoc made by the
constant inroads of the mill men and tur
pentiners on the virgin forests of thi3 sec
tion of our country. The Carolinas have
already been shorn ol all in reach of trans
portation, and Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama are following suit with still greater
rapidity. Between the saw of the mill
man and the ax of the turpentlner mat
ters seem to be going from bad to worse.
Every one tries to make up for low prices
by an increase in production. This might
be a wise policy if the producers were able
to hold their products until prices favored
them, but unfortunately many cannot do
so; hence, the markets are glutted, ad
producers find that instead of being ena
bled thereby to wade out they are daily
getting into deeper water. The lumber
question the writer does not propose to
canvass, but would suggest for the mu
tual interest of all concerned that, where
practicable, to rent the round pine lands
to turpentiners ahead of the saw, at least
for two years, if no more; and we would
also like to draw the attention of turpen
tine producers to the cut-throat policy
many ot them are following of
putting every dollar they can
raise every winter into new
boxes, tor it works a double injury to
them if they but knew it—in the first place
by making’an excess of fine rosin over the
world’s needs, thereby lowering its real
market value, and secondly ruining the
market for low and medium grades made
from the second and third year’s dip and
scrape. If less virgin rosin is produced
every one is aware that the prices for the
same will range higher, and give low
and medium grades a chance
to advance and till up the
gap. The soap makers who are
the principal consumers of fine and me
dium grades always fall back on the low
er grades as the finer grades advance in
price. In former year3, before the im
provement took place in straining rosin
through cotton batting, soap makers were
satisfied if they could get rosin as clean
and well matte as tbe medium and number
two grades of to-day, but finding tine rosiu
flooding the markets of the South for the
past few years at prices lower than they
formerly paid for the medium grades, it
was natural tney should give the finer
grades the preference. But make fine
grades scarce awhile and you will see the
whole soap trade of the world taking hold
of medium grades again at good prices.
Everyone familiar with tue manufac
ture of laundry soaps is aware of the fact
that the trade prefers pale soaps. All
soap made with rosin has about tbe same
paleness when fir t made, but, as it ages
takes on tbe color of therosin aud greases
it is mde Irorn, for rosin becomes a
vegetable grease or oil when subjected to
the action of the alkalies used while
manufacturing it into soap. So work
your second and third year farms, and
don’t cut boxes on borrowed capital. A
few months hence in the coming year
would soon show the wisdom of this
course, for the shortage would also ad
vance the price ol spirits turpentine,
which is the most sensitive of all products,
and when sold below 30 cents per gallon
entails a positive loss to the producer.
Manufacturers using spirits turpentine
often remark to the writer that they pre
fer to see prices ranging from 35 cent* to
40 cents in the primary markets, as lower
prices demoralize their own trade.
Perhaps factors are partly to blame for
the present condition of naval stores. If
they discouraged advancing ou new boxes
it would soon repay them by advancing
the prices of tbe products of the old farms,
thereby enabling distillers to pay up past
advances. Hence, all new investments la
that direction do tactors mare harm than
god.

new colors.
High, full shoulders are the sort for
dressy wraps.
Ribbons are a very important feature in
dress trimmings.
Silver jewelry is the favorite for misses
and young ladies.
Fancy silk kerchiefs, in gay plaids, are
used to trim new fall bats,
All of the dark shades of velveteens are
fashionable for street wear.
The drapings and plaits of dresses are
usually lengthwise this season.
Gloves and stockings match costumes,
or are black or dark brown or gray.
Cloaks made of flannel in broad stripes
will be worn by children during the win
ter.
Scotch plaids in wool materials are
most appropriately used for portions of
costumes.
Dark moss green is much used for cloth,
velvet and Ottoman suits, and also for
velvet -bonnets.
The clerical linen collar, with or with
out embroidery, is the popular style for
girls of 12 or over.
Breton jackets, with fancy vest, striped

velvet and rich brocade.
Don’t Trifle Wltn the Teeth.
It our teeth were renewed as our nails,
they might not need constant care. But
teeth don’t repeat themselves after child
hood. Tbe proper thing is to use Sozo

A OUESTION ABOUT
BROWNS
IRON
BITTERS
Answered.
The question has probably
been asked thousands of times,
“How can Brown’s Iron Bitters
cure everything?" Well, it
doesn’t. But it sloes cure any
disease for which a reputable
physician would prescribe
Physicians recognize Iron as
the best restorative agent known
to the profession, and inquiry of
any leading chemical firm will
without doubt substantiate the
assertion that thereare more prep
arations of iron than of any other
substance used in medicine. This
shows conclusively that Iron is
acknowledged to be the most im
portant factor in successful med
ical practice. It is, however, a
remarkable fact, that prior to the
discovery of Brown’s Iron Bitters
no perfectly satisfactory iron com
bination had ever been found.
Brown’s Iron Bitters docs not
injure the teeth, causelieadache or
produce constipation —"H other
iron medicines do. Brown’stlron
Bitters cures indigestion, bilious
ness, weakness, dyspepsia, mala
ria, chills and fevers, tired feeling,
general debility, pain in the side,
back or limbs, headache and neu
ralgia — for all these ailments
Iron is prescribed daily.
Brown’s Iron Bitters, however,
does not cure in a minute. Like
all other thorough medicines, it
acts slowly. When taken by
men the first symptom of benefit
is renewed energy. The muscles
then become firmer, the digestion
improves, the bowels are active.
In women the effect is usually
more rapid and marked. The
eyes begin at once to brighten;
the skin clears up; healthy color
comes to the cheeks; nervous
ness disappears; functional de
rangements become regular, and
if a nursing mother abundant
sustenance is supplied for the
child. Remember Brown’s Iron
Bitters is the ONLY iron medi
cine that is not injurious.
