SIXTH AVESCE SCHOOL.
The Exercises at St. James Church Tester-
day Morning.
The closing exercises of Sixth avenue
public school took place at St. James A.
M. E. church yesterday morning, begin
ning at 10 a. m.
Hon. John Peabody, president of the
board of trustees, Captain C. E. Hochstras-
ser and Mr. R. A. Carson, members of the
board, Mayor C. B. Grimes, Rev. A. M.
and Mrs. Williams, Superintendent
Mooty, of the public schools, and a very
large audience of the patrons and friends
of the school attended the exercises.
A nicely arranged and very attractive
programme was presented, and through
out the entertainment the pupils gave
evidence of being very carefully trained.
They went through their various parts
with entire credit to themselves and their
attentive and diligent teachers.
The invocation was pronounced by Rev.
T. N. M. Smith.
The prayer was followed by “ Welcome
Friends,” a song by the graduating class.
It was given in excellent style and in
perfect time and harmony.
W. W. Maund, a young graduate, then
made a speech on “American Citizenship.”
He has a clear and distinct voice, and his
address^on the interesting theme was very
web received by the audience. He was
applauded on retiring.
A very entertaining, closely reasoned
and well written essay, on “Aim in Life,”
by Ida Lockhart followed. She has a fall,
clear voice, and her method of delivery
was entirely-graceful.
“Remember the Loved Ones at Home,”
by the class, and “Home by the Sea,” by
five girl graduates, were given in excellent
style, time and harmony. Applause was
general at the close of each song.
A recitation, entitled “Over the Hills to
the Poor House,” by Mamie Thomas was
then given in an admirable and elegant
manner. This young graduate gave evi
dence of possessing considerable elocu
tionary powers.
After a very entertaining essay on “One
To-Day is Worth Two To-Morrows,” by
Lena Spencer, and a very flue and talented
address by E. W. Hawkins, the song, “Joy!
Joy! Freedom To-Day,” was faultlessly
rendered by the graduating class.
Rev. J. G. Yeiser, presiding elder of the
C'oiumbus district, delivered the annual
address to the graduates.
The address was unquestionably a very
able and finished piece of oratory. It re
viewed the history of the educational
question in connection with the negro
since emancipation. The benefits of edu
cation, as powerful factors in the social
and moral improvement of the race,_ were
pointed out lucidly, fally and in detaiL
The address throughout sparkled with
very brilliant and logical conclusions,
drawn from dwelling on the greatness and
importance, the benefits and necessity of
the grand question.
After some solid and sound remarks to
the graduates, the speaker turned to the
trustees and addressed to them an eloquent
and gracefal tribute of thanks for the
great interest which they had always
shown in the education, progress and im
provement of the colored people. He said:
“Let us go along as we are going. Let oar
people avail themselves of the educational
advantages afforded them, and we can
solve the negro problem ourselves without
the aid of any others.” . .
The elder was listened to _ with rapt
attention, and he closed with a vig
orous exhortation to the graduating class
to ever live up to the true principles and
excellent morals which will ever gain
for them respect and appreciation in the
community.
After the “Graduating Ode,” by the
class, Hon. John Peabody, after a neat,
encouraging and instructive little speech,
delivered tne diplomas to the graduates.
After a vory fine recitation by Minnie
NIoore, Professor Spencer announced that
three of the boy graduates made a very
close contest for the medal presented to
the school by Rev. L. Thomas, pastor of
St. James church last year.
The score stood: E. W. Hawkins, 89$;
Willie Price, 981; Willie Maund 98. The*
medal was accordingly awarded to E. W.
Hawkins, the presentation being made by
mayor Grimes.
The exercise 3 closed with the doxology
and benediction.
The Law Unconstitutional.
Valparaiso, Incl., Jane 28.—James B.
Harvey, agent of Swift & Co., of Chicago,
^as arrested at Hammond last week and
uned f 50 by a local magistrate for selling
w this city dressed beef slaughtered in
Lnicago. He was committed to jail for *
failure to pay the fine. On Monday he
was taken before Hon. Williajn Johnson,
judge of Porter county circuit coart, on a
writ of habeas corpus. Yesterday Judge
Johnson delivered an elaborate opinion,
holding the law under which Harvey was
fined to be unconstitutional and discharged
the prisoner. The last legislature of In
diana passed an act prohibiting the sale of
fresh meat in any county of the state un
less the animals had been first inspected
alive within the counry where the meat
was to be offered for sale. This is the
first case under the new law. The
judge holds that the Indiana statute
is akin to the exercise of power by indi
vidual states over interstate commerce,
which rendered the articles of the confed
eration, rope and sand, and which led to
the adoption of the present national con
stitution.
COTTON SEED OIL TRUST.
Earnings the Past Tear Stated at S 2,600,-
OOO, bat No Dividend Declared.
New York, June 28.—At a meeting of
the trustees of the American cotton seed
oil trust, to day, it was decided to defer
consideration of the dividend question un
til the next annual meeting. An approxi
mate statement was presented at the meet
ing, however, showing that tho trust had
earned $2,600,000 in the first year, or equal
to 6 per cent of outstanding certificates.
The 'statement showed a cash working
capital of $7,000,000. At the annual meet
ing held in July, 1887, a dividend of 4 per
cent was declared on certificate, payable
in four quarterly installments. The first
dividend was paid, but nothing has since
been heard of the other three. Outside
certificate holders were surprised when
they learned of the action of the trustees
to-day, as it had been positively stated
that the trustees were in favor of paying a
dividend, but were divided as to whether
to declare 4 or 5 per cent.
NEWS FROM JOHNSTOWN.
The Number of Working People Lost Esti
mated at 3000—Paying the Soldiers.
Johnstown, June 28.—The time keep
ers in the Cambria office estimate that
from four to five hundred of their work
men in the Gautier and Cambria iron
works were lost. Counting the women
and children dependent upon them, they
put their loss of people at two thousand.
They estimate the entire loss of life at
10,000. Mr. Haws, a fire brick manufac
turer, thinks this guess is about right. He
believes at least five hundred strangers
were in town at the time of the flood.
About two hundred deposit books of the
Johnstown Savings bank are reported lost
by depositors or their heirs. There were
$774,000 on deposit, and mach of this is the
property of people having no heirs.
The Fourteenth regiment will be paid
this afternoon, and with the exception of
three companies, will leave to-morrow.
They will have about five hundred men
and the pay roll will amount to $20,000.
Miners on a Strike.
Altoona, Pa., June 28.—The mountain
miners are on a strike from Gallitzin west
ward, and trouble is feared in Clearfield
region, where the Berwind White Coal
Mining Company has extensive operations.
The company is unwilling to pay its men
for “dead work,” such as cutting air
courses, and there is also trouble as to the
method of paying check weighmen. The
miners threaten to strike. There is nlso a
movement among the miners who earn_4o
cents per gross ton, the miners to strike
for 50 cents, which is received in other
parts of the region.
Camp Hill Items.

THE GEORGIA PACIFIC.
THE REPORT OF TH* ASSESSORS OF
THE ROAD COMPLETED.
Tho Question of the Ownership of Eighteen
Miles of Rood Between Atlanta
and Austell—The Legislature.
Other Atlanta News.
Atlanta, June 28.—[Special.]—The re
port of the assessors of the Georgia Pacific
railway is nearing completion, and it is
stated will contain some interesting feat
ures. The gentlemen composing the
board are Hon. S. G. McLendon, ot Thom-
asville; Judge R. P. Trippe, of Forsyth,
and Hon. C. A. Turner, of Macon. Super
intendent Sage, of the Georgia Pacific, has
been before the board since its return to
Atlanta to testify in regard to the owner
ship of eighteen miles of road between
Atlanta and Austell. It is not clear why
there should be any donbt or mystery
about the matter, but the fact remains that
the officials of the road do not appear to
know mnch about it, and Superintendent
Sage is no wiser than the rest of them.
The trouble seems to arise out of the
character of the agreement between the
Georgia Pacific and the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia roads, as both use
the same track from Atlanta to Austell.
The Georgia Pacific wants the East Ten
nessee to pay half the tax, and there may
be such a contract between them, bat that
cannot affect the ownership of the prop
erty, nor is it a matter that concerns the
state. The track was built by the Georgia
Pacific, and it is very unlikely that they
have parted with the ownership of the
property. In the absence of any reliable
information about the matter, the board
will report the property as owned by the
Georgia Pacific, and it will be so taxed.
This board will make some recommend
ations to the governor, among them that
only one board be appointed to assess the
different roads which require appraise
ment by the state. They think the board
will be able to do the work better and
with more uniformity, and more satisfac
torily.
The railroad returns next year may,
however, be of such a character as to re
lieve the governor of the necessity of ap
pointing assessors.
The Railroad Assessors Report.
The assessors, appointed by the gov
ernor to appraise the Georgia Pacific and
the Georgia Southern and Florida rail
roads, reported to-day. The returns made
by the Georgia Pacific are increased $161,-
948, and of the Georgia Southern and
Florida nearly a quarter of a million.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
returns were received to day. The prop
erty is returned at $3,221,775.
The Legislative Session.
There are already to be noticed here
some sure, unfailing symptoms of the leg
islative session. A number of gentlemen,
who are always in town at the opeqing,
have arrived, and several of the out-of-
town clerks are here looking up their
boarding houses. A more reliable indica
tion is the supply of railroad passes which
Clerk Harden is sending out to members.
The passes certainly bring the legislature
to Atlanta.
Personal Mention.
Governor Gordon is absent in Bullock
county, where he made a public address
on yesterday.
Hon. W. J. Northen, of Hancock, was
among the visitors about the capitol to
day.
Internal Revenue Collector Arnold.
The newly appointed collector, Dr.
Arnold, arrived here to-night. It is
rumored to-night that 'Collector Cren
shaw does not propose to give up the office
without a fight. He tendered his resig
nation recently to take effect September
1, and he says if the department wants
him out earlier they will have to remove
him.
A Burglar Sentenced.
John Jones, a negro burglar, who ab
stracted ten dollars’ worth of property
from a colored neighbor’s house, was con
victed to-day and sentenced tc twenty
years.
HAIL AND RAIN STORM.
Minnesota Visited by Floods—Two Men
Reported Drowned.
Minneapolis, Minn., June 28 —The
Journal’s Rusford, Minn., special says: A
combined cyclone, water spout and hail
storm passed from one to five miles east of
here last night, destroying everything in
its path. A belt two miles wide in the
pathway of the storm for thirty miles in
length is absolutely laid waste, trees being
as bare of leaves as in winter. The loss
by the storm can’t fall much below $100,-
000. Immense trees, two feet or more in
diameter, have been tom up and twisted
off. For two miles in width the merciless
hail pelted everything into the ground. It
crossed the railroad track where the sec
tion men were at work, and they say that
hail fell fally as large as a man’s fi3t. An
drew Fizisco, of Yucatan, was drowned in
the flood. Another drowning is reported
from Houston.
THE CRONIN CASE.
Members of the Clan-na-Gael Ordered to
Testify Before the Grand Jury.
Chicago June 28.—The grand jury re
sumed its work on the Cronin case at 10
o’clock this morning, and before they
went into session they gave it out that
they would finish the case to-morrow.
Unless new evidence is discovered in the
meantime to prolong the session, the
final findings of the jury will be returned
into court to-morrow atternoon. The
line of investigation followed by the grand
jury this forenoon was toward uncov
ering the outer circle of the plot. Some
thirty Clan-na-Gael men were summoned
for to-day’s session, and the questions put
to them were all framed with the view of
finding out if possible who was responsible
for spreading the malicious report that
Dr. Cronin was a spy.
Young Carlson, whose parents own the
cottage in which Dr. Cronin was murder
ed, and who has been prominently brought
forward by the police in various attempts
to identify the suspects, says that an at
tempt was made yesterday to terrorize
him. He declares that two men came to
the cottage and distinctly threatened him
with death if he should identify Martin
Burk, now under arrest at Winnipeg.
Disastrous Prairie Fires.
Helena, Mon., June 28.—All efforts to
check the forest fires whieh started in
Cascade county, near Sand Coules, two
days ago, proved unavailing. Advices up
to last night show it has covered an area
of over 100 square miles, and has destroyed
the best hay ground in the vicinity. The
loss will be very heavy, owing to the fact
that the dry season had already greatly
reduced the hay crop. No such prairie
fire has been known in Montana in years.
So far no lives are reported lost, though
several ranchmen were burned out.
PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.
Marshal Wilson's Successor Appointed.
Fred Douglass Gets an Office.
Washington, June 28.—The president
has appointed John G. Watts, of Virginia,
marshal of the Wee tern district of Vir
ginia.

battle of Resacca the former lost his right
arm. Since, Ransdell has served as clerk
o f the city of Indianapolis and clerk of the
county of Marion. He has been active in
local politics for many years, and in his
former public position is said to have
proved a capable and popular official.
Captain Merideth is a practical printer.
He has for fifteen years been superintend
ent of the steam plate printing depart-
years
Indianapolis Journal composing room, and
of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His ex
perience, it is said, renders him well quali
fied for the position to which he has been
appointed.
J. G. Watts, apoointed United States
marshal for the Western district of Vir
ginia, in place of James R. Jordan, re
moved, held that office under former
republican, administrations, and was re
moved by President Cleveland. He lives

for the marshalship by Senator M&bone,
Representative Wise, Messrs. Brady, Lang
ston and others.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Extent of Easiness Done iu Listed and Un
listed Stocks Yesterday.
New York, June 28.—Dealings in the
stock market to-day presented few features
for comment, and dullness was the most
conspicuous characteristic throughout the
day. Trust stocks were very quiet as com
pared with their late activity, and while
presenting a firm front did not show any
marked fluctuations, except in last hoar.
The trust to be traded in, the American
cattle trust, which opened at IS, sold up
to 19L
London prices were lower this morning
and the first prices in this market were
also off small fractions from last night’s
figures, though the only important conces
sion was in Jersey Central, which yielded
| per cent. This stock was an element of
weakness throughout, and on very high
trading It showed a loss at the end of the
day. The bearish feeling was soon check
ed in the morning by unusually heavy buy
ing of New England, and it acted as a
check to the drooping tone of the rest
of the market, nntil the issue of the Van
derbilt statement, in which an increase in
the operating expenses of Lake Shore was
taken as an opportunity to hammer the
list by bears. Buying of New England
was taken as evidence that some new de
velopment in regard to the company was
abont'to come oat, and the stock was aa-
vanced.from 11 to 53, but the high prices
brought out considerable stock and it
yielded.
| (In the afternoon further engagements of
gold for export also intensified the bearish
sentiment and more unfavoradle news
from the west came in to help prices
down, and St. Paul became the leading
weak stock, notwithstanding very favor
able reports of earnings for the month of
May and five months of the year. The
declaration of regular dividends upon Van
derbilt’s also helped to check the decline
except in the case of Lake Shore. After
the advance in New England culminated
about noon, activity in the list became
much smaller and changes in quotations
were made on an exceedingly small scale.
Among the inactive shares Ohio Southern
showed marked strength in the evening,
rising from 14J to 16c, after which it was
entirely neglected. Sales of listed stocks
reached 176,000 shares and unlisted 56,000.
The active list is almost invariably lower.
THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Review of Speculation in the Grain and
Provision Markets.
Chicago, June 28.—A marked change
again occurred in the wheat market as
compared with yesterday. The feeling
developed was decidedly unsettled and a
sharp advance occurred daring the session,
bat it was fully sustained. Trading was
active, in a speculative way. The open
ing was about the same to ic lower than
yesterday’s closing, which was dne in part
to the rather easier tone of European ad-
vcies and was a sort of continuation of
yesterday’s weakness, bat shortly after
the opening became strong and advanced
1| to lie for various deliveries, declining
I to Ic and closed lie higher for July, lie
for August, and lie higher for December
than yesterday. The advance was attrib
uted to bad crop news received from the
northwest. The feeling throughout the
session was nervous and feverish.
A fair business was transacted in corn,
and the feeling developed was a little as-
settled, prices ruling lower early and
higher later in the session. There was no
news of importance on the market, and
§ rices were governed chiefly by local in-
aences. The market opened lower than
the closing prices of yesterday, and was
easy for a time. A firmer tone then pre
vailed, due largely to the good shipping
demand, and prices advanced Ic., ruled
easier, and closed a shade lower than yes
terday. A good MBiness was transacted
in oats, but a nervous feeling prevailed,
and prices fluctuated within a range of Ic.
to|c.
A fairly active trade was reported in
mess pork, but the market was somewhat
unsettled and prices ruled irregular.
Opening sales were made at 7Jc decline.
A farther redaction of lc was had, with
moderate trading and a larger scale.
Later, the market exhibited more firm
ness, and prices rallied 71 to 10c, and closed
comparatively steady.
A quiet and rather doll feeling prevailed
in the lard market. Prices ruled 2$ to 5c
lower and the market closed quiet, at
medium figures.
Short ribs were easier. Early in the
day prices receded to 5c, but during the
latter part of the session was steady, and
prices rallied again and closed steady.
Cotton Futures.
New York, June 28.—The San’s cotton
review says: Futures opened a little un
settled and presently declined tinder sell
ing to realize profits, but the bulls came to
the rescue and a fresh advance carried
prices for this crop a few points above tbe
closing figures of last night, bat in the last
hoar there was fresh selling to realize,
andqy which prices gave way, especially
for August, which touched 10.64. Cotton
on spot is 116 dearer and more active for
export and home consumption.
Pennsylvania Liquor Licenses.
Philadelphia, June 28 —The state
supreme court to-day awarded a writ of
peremptory mandamus in the case of the
petition of the Prospect Brewery Com
pany, of this city, for a mandamus to
license the court judges to show cause
why a brewer’s license was refused the
company. In the cases of appeals of the
following persons and firms in Alleghany
county, who were refused liquor licenses,
the supreme court reverses the order of
the court below refusing the license, and
a procedendo is awarded: The L. H. Har
ris Drug Company, Joseph Fleming &
Son, T. D. Casey & Co., Josenh Einstein
& Co., et al., and Mary Pollard.
The DeLagoa Bay Railway.
London, June 28.—The shareholders of
the company whose concession to build
the DeLagoa Bay railway has been can
celled by Portugal, held a meeting in Lon
don to-day. It was resolved to resist an
attempt on the part of Portugal to take
the work out of the company’s hand, as
such action wonld result in a grave crisis.
It was farther determined, in the event of
Portugal’s persisting in carrying out the
threatening action, to call upon the Brit
ish government to demand from Portugal
the payment of her debt to England of
£3.(M0,Q00, incurred in 1814, and to ask
that such sum be applied to the purchase
of the railway. It was also decided that
the company should claim damages from
Portugal and request the British govern
ment to enforce the claim.
The House of Commons.
London, June 28.—In the house of com
mons this evening Mr. Lea, member from
South Londonderry, a liberal opposed to

mittee to inquire into the matter. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, assented to the
appointment of such committee.

under the name of Mrs. L. Carlton. She
will make her debut in New York.

H’DOW MURDER TRIAL.
Cohen and Mag ath Make Eloquent
Pleas in Behalf of the Prisoner.
Charleston, S. C., Jane 28.—Asher D.
Cohen and Judge Mag rath addressed the
jury to-day in the McDow murder case in
behalf ot* the prisoner. Each made a
strong speech. Cohen asked that his
client be acquitted on Ike plea of self-
defense, and closed with a thrilling pero
ration, asserting that the prisoner had
already suffered punishment; that he was
a changed man, and beseeching them to
let him return to his devoted wife, “to
be baptized in the tears of their little girl
into a nobler and better life.”
Judge Magrath followed with a very
impressive speech. Both speeches evi
dently made a good impression on the
jury, as well as the audience. The final
speech for the prosecution will be made
to-morrow by Major Julian Mitchell, and
after the charge by Judge Kershaw the
case will go to the jury. Major Mitchell
stands at the head of the criminal lawyers
of the state, and his speech to-morrow is
expected to be a very fine one.
A FREAK OF NAl'VRB.
Birth of Twin Girls Inseparably Connected
at the Hips and Lower Abdomen.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jane 2S.—The Jour
nal’s Missouri correspondent reports that
on last Tuesday, twelve miles south of
there, Mrs. Henry Jones had born to her
twin girls, inseparably connected at the
hips and lower abdomen. No vital organs
are connected except the spinal column,
which is continuous from one end to the
other. Each breathes and pulsates quite
independently of the other, and both are
S erfectly formed and have free use of their
mbs. The infants are apparently as
hearty as any children of their ages.

Mary Anderson’s Illness
New York, Jane 26.—The report re
ceived by cable from London yesterday
that Miss Mary Anderson would not ap
pear on the stage next season, was con
firmed at the office of Abbey & Grau to
day. This conrse was only adopted after
a long conference between Miss.
Anderson’s friends and the physicians
who have been in attendance
upon her during her illness. The mystery
attending Miss Anderson’s illness has given
rise to ail sorts of sensational rumors re
garding her mental condition. Last night
it was rumored in theatrical circles that
Miss Anderson was confined in a private
asylum in England. Mr. Matthews, the
representative of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau,
who has been connected with Miss
Anderson in a business copacity, said to
day: “The simple fact that Miss Ander-
osn has canceled all her engagements
ofr next season is no certain indication
htat there is anything serious the matter
with the famous actress. I was with her
at the time she broke down here, and I
can say that her failure to complete the
season was entirely due to overwork. I
have the best reason for knowing that she
is resting quietly at her heme in Tonbridge
Wells, ana that the idea that she is con
fined in a lunatic asylum is absurd. Miss
Anderson is quite well oft, and can easily
afford to be idle for a season. Her time
will be filled by the Gaiety Company of
London.”
A Royal Engagement Announced.
London, June 28.—Murray’s Magazine
announces that Prince Albert Victor, the
oldest son of the Prince of Wales, has
been affianced to Princess Victoria, of
Prussia, sister of the Emperor of Germany.
With the announcement the information
is given that the queen will give the
prince a marriage settlement, and parlia
ment will not be asked to make provis
ions for him.
Panama Canal Belief Bill.
Paris, June 28.—The chamber of depu

Carlotta Patti Dead.
Paris, June 28.—Carlotta Patti, the
well known singer, and sister of Adelina
Patti, died this morning.
A Nervous Tension.
“Why did you shoot that man’s dog?”
asked the justice; “he says he was per
fectly quiet and never disturbed any
one.” “Well, no,” the prisoner admitted,
“I never heard him howl in all his life,
bat he always looked as though he was
goin’ to.Ke’a come out in the front yard a
dozen times a night, squat down, look at
the moon if there was one, draw his
breath, open his mouth and ax himself
for a howl from here to Jericho, and then
change his mind and crawl under the
porch and go to sleep. I never heard
him howl, bat the suspense was killing.”

THE TAHITI ROMANCE.
Consul Doty’s Marriage With a Dusky
Beauty.
Cannibalism does not exist in the Society
islands, or the amoroos consular official
would have been in danger of a little
shock when he surveyed the tables laid
for the wedding breakfast, says the Lon
don Telegraph. Nominally the Tahitians
are Christians, yet it is a mistake to sup
pose that their education has at present
reached a very advanced stage. French
being tbe recognized language in tbe
schools, it is not surprising that
instruction is carried on under con
siderable difficulties. Thus it is probable
that even the queen herself was rather
puzzled when she received the letter from
the American consol asking for the hand
of the Princess Polona in marriage. She
may have considered it in the light of an
official communication, a sort of demand
note from the United States government
to be followed, in case of non-compliance,
by the visit ot a warship. The Tahatia
court has not forgotten the lesson it
learned so long ago as 1838, when a
French frigate forced French missiona
ries upon the island, or again, four years
later, when another French cruiser ex
torted from luckless Queen Pom are a
treaty by which she placed the island un
der French “protection.” Such memo
ries would make the islanders cautious
in resisting the will of a great power;
and, perhaps, the safest thing that could
have been done nnder the circumstances
was to bring the consul’s presumptuous
request under the notice of the Gallic com
mander of the island. In that case very
likely Consul Doty wonld have been re
ported to the government at Washington
tor trying, by a matrimonial intrigue, to
undermine the authority of the masters of
Tahiti. An interesting question now pre
sents itself as to whether the newly mar
ried consul will find Tahita “ slow,” and,
if so, whether he will take his princess
back to New York and exhibit her to
admiring friends in Broadway, or leave
her behind him and take an American
trip himself; or, having married her, will
he send his princess to Europe or America
to be “educated” according to oar stand
ard? He wonld have a precedent for
the latter coarse in the visit to England of
Princess Kalane, daughter of King Kala-
kua, of the Sandwich islands, who has just
arrived on oar shores in order to undergo
education. This little princess is fourteen
years old, and she would have been ac
companied by ber royal father had King
K&fakua’s treasury been in a condition to
support the expense of a return ticket by
steamer to Earope. As it is not, bis maj
esty reluctantly 'stays at home. Princess
Polona is probably more than fourteen
years old, or Consul Doty would not have
doted on and married her. Perhaps she
is already sufficiently educated for his
tastes. A black princess, who is plso a
bine-stocking, wonld be rather a discord
in domestic dyes.
AN
ABlS
LITTLE SALESWOMAN.
How a Young Woman in a Chicago Sto-e
Secured a Raise in Salary.
I heard a story abont a pretty little
widow the other day which contains a hint
to young women who are suddenly thrown
upon their own resources. This little
woman lost her husband,Jand in the course
of time it became necessary to do some
thing to support herself. After trying a
good many places she was given a
position in a State street dry goods
store, with the handkerchief count
er as her department. The
first day she was there, a gentleman came
along and stopped at her counter so look
at her goods. She felt that she ought to
sell him something, so she went at it en
ergetically, and though the man tried in
every way to elude her, he couldn’t do it,
and was finally forced to bay half a dozen
handkerchiefs. When she got her salary
at the end of the week she fonnd a sub
stantial increase over the figures at which
she had been engaged. She asked the
cashier the reason.
“Because of a sale yon made the first
day you came. If you remember, you sold
half a dozen handkerchiefs to a gentleman
after making a long talk.”
“Yes, I remember,” she said.
“That was Mr. Partridge. He thonght
your salary ought to be raised.”
This was a good while ago. The lady is
happily married again. You may be sure
that a' girl who ca§ sell goods to the pro
prietor of the store will not be any too
long in getting a husband, and a good one
too.—Chicago Mail.
The Romance ef Chess.
The great game has its tender, its ro
mantic side, as no game can bave at which
more than two people play. It smiles on
lovers, and can even be the cause of love.
Only a few years ago a chess player,
condemned to live in the country,
solaced his solitude by
playing
it cards
games
brought or daily took his move.
His antagonist was a lady; before the con
test was over he had got to know this lady,
and their acquaintance ripened into inti
macy, intimacy into love, and love was
crowned with marriage. And this couple,
not unmindful of the kind influence which
had brought them together, determined
that the very rights of their marriage
should “something saver” of the game.
So they invited from London a certain
clergyman whose genial face—“the front
of Mars himseif”—is well known in chess
circles; none but a chess player of his em
inence should celebrate their union.
And when the bridegroom and bride
rose from the wedding breakfast it was
only to sit down to a game of chess—the
first of their wedded life. Ah! happy, hap
py, pair, nnder what happy auspices did
you start on the highway of marriage!
What a fine air of romance, of sweet
tenderness, lingers round these lines of
Lord Ly tton:
My little love, do you remember.
Ere we were grown so sadly wise.
Those evenings in the bleak December,
Curtained warm from the snowy weather,
When you and I played chess together,
Checkmated by each other’s eyes.
Ah! still I see your soft white hand
Hovering warm o’er qneen and knight,
And so on to the sad close when the
poet laments:
That never, never, never more,
As ia those old still nigh s of yore.
Ere we were grown so sadly wise.
Can you and I shut out the skies:
Shut out the world and wintry weather.
And eyes exchanging warmth with eye3,
Piay chess as then we p’ayed together.
—The Gentleman’s Magazine.
John Gilpin’s Ride Read in Coart.
The court said the proceedings were cer
tainly monotonous and a little poetry
would be welcomed. He would, however,
like to know how the poem could be
made evidence.
Mr. Bullock argued that the poem was
good evidence. It was in evidence that
Plaintiff Howard had said his father lived
close to John Gilpin’s inn, at Edmonton.
Now it was in evidence that Howard’s
father lived within fifty yards of the Bell
Inn, Edmonton, by which John Gilpin’s
borrowed horse took him at such break
neck speed, and it was necessary for the
jury to hear the poem to grasp the facts.
The plaintiff objected that John Gilpin
was a myth, and that the whole story was
notoriously the product of Cowper’s im
agination.
To the immense satisfaction of the jury
the court overruled the objection and the
adventures of Gilpin were read. The audi
ence laughed and applauded; a mole
hitched to the court boose yard railings
brayed as if to express his sympathy with
the aes which started Gilpin’s horse, and
the whole incident was intensely fanny.—
Memphis Appeal.
REVIEW OF BUSINESS.
A WEEK OF CONSIDERABLE EXCITE
MENT IN SPECULATIVE CIRCLES.
Crop Reports Unusually Favorable—Baal -
ness Prospects Not Gloomy—The
Money Market—Gold Exports.
Failures for the Week.
New York, Jane 28.—R. G. Dan & Co.,
in their review of the trade for the week »
say:
It has been a week of considerable ex
citement in speculative circles and of a
heavy general trade without material
change in conditions. As all depends in a
large measure at this season on crop pros
pects, it is most encouraging to find re
ports in this particular unosqally favor
able, the only noteworthy exception being
that the damage to cotton and grain from
frequent rains is reported at Galveston.
At the northwest grain looks fine, a great
improvement being reported in quarters
where there had been some apprehension.
With crops of unusual magnitude highly
probable, and with the general value of
business so maintained than an increase of *
30 per cent over last year appear ia the
clearing house returns, the prospect is net
gloomy. Accounts from interior points
are decidedly favorable.
At Cleveland and Pittsbnrg, the iron and
other trades continue to mend. The
glass factories have abont all closed for the
summer, it is thought, with stocks not too
large to meet the present demand. Coal
mining on the Monongahela is dull, and it
is expected that the agitation against com
pany stores is to be commenced in that
district soon.
Speculation has been quite active, espe
cially in trust stocks, grain, coffee and oil.
The sadden boom in oil has lifted the
price over 8 cents, and has caused some
speculation failures. Refined has been ad
vanced 30c per 100 gallons. Wheat
has advanced 2 cents, with sales of 24,000,-
000 bushels on Wednesday, and 55,000,000
for the week; but all accounts of harvest
ing thus far have been satisfactory. Corn
and oats have declined each a fraction,
and coffee is still sold heavily, transactions
reaching 740,000 bags, and has declined Ic.
Pork and pork products are all a little
stronger, without a definitely assignable
reason.
Sales of cotton have been 110,000 bales,
and the price is about Jc lower than a
week ago, receipts and exports still falling
far behind those of the corresponding
dates last year. The general average of
prices has fallen a trifle daring the peat
week. Speculation in trust stocks haa
been remarkably active and stimulated by
a host of rumors, but the excitement ana
feverishness have inclined conservative
people toward caution.
The stock market has not been as strong
as some expected, notwithstanding marked
activity in some securities.
The state of the anthracite coal trade
causes some hesitation, for the trade ia
doll and weak, and the production in May
appears to have been 150,000 tons more
than in the same month a year ago. Sales
much below nominal prices are reported
In the iron business there is a stronger
feeling at all points with a quotable im
provement in some grades, especially of
mill iron, but bar does not improve ac
cording to expectation, and rails are not
changed in price, nor are large transac
tions reported. At Pittsburg and Cleve
land a stronger feeling still prevails. The
money market has stiffened to some ex
tent here, as is natural after heavy ex
ports of gold. But the treasury has paid
out during the week abont $3,000,000 more
than it has taken in. There ia no where
observable any actual stringency, nor fa
apprehension noticeably influential. In*
deed, it is one of phenomenal, which most
deserve attention, that there is generally
a prevalent feeiing of confident indiffer
ence to the changes of the money market,
apparently based npon the faith that in
any event the treasury will control the
situation. Exports of merchandise for
four weeks have been but 13 per cent above
last year’s, while merchandise imports for
the month thus far show a small increase.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country daring last week number for
the Unitied States 184, and Canada 31,
total 215, against 220 last week.

’SKEETEBS FROM MEXICO.
As Though Jersey Couldn’t Supply Enough
of the Pests.
Everybody around the rotunda of the
custom house, says the New Yoric Sun,
when they heard Edward H. Kraemer,
the veteran animal broker, say to-day that
he had just entered a big lot of live mos
quitoes, thought he was either romancing
or losing some of the quick sense which
enables him instantly to tell a Yorkshire
from a Dandle Dinmont terrier. Eddie went
on to say, in the presence of the credulous-
minded brokers and clerks, that four pack
ages of the pestiferous insects had ar
rived on the steamship Alms a from
Vera Cruz. Two of the packages contain
ed live mosquitoes, and two dead mosqoi-
tees baked in the form of cakes. They
came from Mexico, of which country they
are natives. Eddie described the pests to
be as long as his hand, or many times the
size of their famous Jersey cousins.
“What are they for, Eddie?” he was
asked.
“To feed soft billed birds, such as rob
bing and others.” The brokersaid that he
paid dnty on the live skeeters at the rate
of 20 per cent, and that the insects were
consigned to Reiche Bros., of Park row.
“The duties,” he replied, “amounted to
$21.”
One of the Reiche Bros, said that the
firm was expecting a shipment of mosqui
toes from Mexico, but that they were
dead ones. If any of the lot get here alive
they moat have been restored to life on
the passage. They are caught in nets ia
Mexico and dried. They are food to
thrushes, nightingales, mocking birds and
other soft billed birds.
