Preserving Ship Timbers.
A novel process is being attempted
at Camden, Me., to preserve the wood
of a new 1,400 ton schooner, now al¬
most ready for launching. All of the
timber of the inside and outside of the
vessel has been soaked in crude petro¬
leum to save it from dry rot by expos¬
ure to the air and to prevent the rav¬
ages of the teredo worm in salt waters.
Even the vessel’s beams have been
coated and the tips of the topmasts.
It is expected that the oil will become
so thoroughly soaked in the schooner’s
upper works that the water cannot
penetrate through the wood. Old
wooden vessels which have been con¬
verted into bulk petroleum carriers,
after having outlived their usefulness
in other trades, have been known to
last for years after becoming soaked
with either crude or refined oil.
Taking Russia’s Census in One Day
In the autumn of the present year
the census of the whole of Russia will
be taken in one day. For this pur¬
pose a committee, consisting of up¬
ward of 200 persons, has been work¬
ing more than two years, and the in¬
structions to the different provinces
will be issued shortly. It is believed
that in twenty provinces there are now
upward of 47,000,000 inhabitants,
whereas when the census was taken in
I860 in the same districts there were
30,000,000. It is supposed that the
greatest increase of population has
taken place in the provinces of Kieff,
Poltava, Ivharkoff, Tamboff, Samara
and Viatka and in the towns of Kieff
Kkarkoff, Cdessa, Baku, Lodv and

The United States department of
agriculture has issued a special “Farm

Manure,” prepared by W. H. Beal, of
the office of experiment stations, which
is of special interest and value to
farmers in the south at this time on
account of their inability or indisposi¬
tion to buy commercial fertilizers for
the benefit of their crops, but is of
permanent value as well. The bulle¬
tin is in fact a pamphlet of thirty-one
pages, containing all that an intelli¬
gent farmer wants to know in regard
to the collection, value, composition,
management, preservation, application
and effects of barnyard manure, with
much other useful information on the
subject which cannot be specified here.

Mr. Cleveland Denounces a Preacher.
When the report of a speech made
in a Methodist conference at Salem,
Mass., by the Rev. Dr. Lansing and a
subsequent published interview with
the same gentleman accusing the pres¬
ident of intemperance, was shown to
President Cleveland Sunday evening,
he said with considerable warmth:
<« This is simply an outrage. Though
it is not the first time a thing of this
kind has been attempted, I cannot
avoid a feeling of indignation that any
man who makes any claim to decency,
and especially by one who assumes should thp
role of a Christian minister,
permit himself to become a dessemi
nator of wholesale lies and calumnies
not less stupid than they are cruel and
wicked.
< < I easily recall other occasions when
these more or less entitled to be called
ministers of the gospel have been in¬
strumental in putting into circulation
the most scandalous falsehoods con¬
cerning my conduct and character.
The elements or factors of the most ap¬
proved outfit for placing a false and
bare faced accusation before the pub¬
lic appears to be, first, some one with
baseness and motive sufficient to in¬
vent it; second, a minister with more
gullibility and love of notoriety than
piety, greedily willing to listen to it,
and third, a newspaper anxiously wil¬
ling to publish it.
4 ( For the sake of the Christian reli¬
gion I am thankful that these scandal
mongering ministers are few, and on
every aceountlam glad that the Amer¬
ican people love fair play and justice,
and that in spite of all efforts to mis¬
lead them, they are apt to form a cor¬
rect estimate of the character and la¬
bors of the public servants. a
To Prevent “Yellow Jack. )i
The authorities charged with the
conduct of quarantine matters and the
general supervision of the public
health, are keeping a sharp lookout to
prevent the importation of yellow
fever into the United States. The
care that is being exercised by all the
quarantine officials is illustrated by
the action of the New York officials in
ordering the Portugese Prince back to
quarantine for disinfection because a
fireman had died under suspicious cir
cumstances before the vessel touched
at Santos. This, too, in the face of a
clean bill of health by the quarantine
officials of that port and the United
States consul. The regular quarantine
season begins the first of May. All
quarantine stations are being thor
0 :ugiily equipped, and each of tke
three ports of refuge for stricken ves
gels are under the charge of a physi
cian of experience, and an assisting
force that has dealt with fever in the
past. The insurrection in Cuba causes
a condition of affairs unpleasant for
health officers to consider. Marine of
fice officials declare that the shipment
of several thousand new Sfoanish troops
into Cuba at this season of the year,
uon-acclimated, is bound to precipi
tftte au e pi t f em io of fever, the ill ef
£ ecte o j w j 15C f 1 mU6 t, in a degree more
Qr j esg geverej b e felt in this country,
a ] 80 f ear that Cuban towns, espe
c j a jfy Havana, will be overrun with
coun t r y people seeking to escape the
con tending forces engaged in continu
j ng or BU pp ress ing the insurrection,
and that ag a con g e quence the sanitary
p recau tions will be even more neglect
e( f than before. Plans are being per
fected Surgeon General Wyman to

THAT COM3IITTEE’S REPORT.
T<>11 W hat They Found Out
Abou , CoMon Miu „ lu t „ e South.
Th BostoI1 Globe > that from
etltehouse ^ from j
it appears that
the labor section of the report of the
committee on mercantile affairs on
their trip south to find out why the
mills of Massachusetts wish to go south,
one ujton which there is a wide differ¬
ence of opinion • among the various
members.
The report w jjl gay that at present
there is no signs of a wholesale remov
al of Massachusetts mills to the south,
ag there aro more spindles in Massa
ciuiset t s today than in the past. But
the committee claims to have found
out that in gpi t e of the apparent pros
per jty jo Massachussets among the cot
ton mills, a large amount of massachu
■, Be ttg money has been sent south. That
, there is nothing in the character of the
new corporations formed under Mas
sac husetts laws that will prevent them
, f rom organizing in Massachusetts and
rr 0 j ne . south
Reference is also made to the fact
j that there the is at present corporations nothing to of
prevent cotton
j Massachusetts from putting all the
; money they want to in southern mills,
j The report will prove that cotton
manufacturing in the south is not a
new industry, but that since 1892 there
has sprung up in that section condi¬
tions favorable to Massachusetts capi¬
talists. In substantiation of this,
there will appear a long array of fig¬
ures which will give some surprising
results.
The report will speak hopefully of
the scheme of establishing mills near
cotton fields, or near coal mines, as
cheapness will be equalized by expen¬
ses in another direction.
The report will give the following
seven distinct causes which are attract¬
ing the cotton industries of New Eng¬
land to the south: nearness to cotton
fields, cheap tenements, cheap coal,
mild climate, low taxes, abundant wa
ter power, and abundant restrictive
labor laws
The labor question, which is really
the important part of the report, is
where the division of the committee
is really the greatest, as the portion of
the report submitted advises national
legislation on the hours of labor for
women and children and asks that the
commonwealth take steps tbward se
curing euch legislation.

bar. Mitchell has no influence with

gruff old fellow, bull-headed and per

action on his recommendation,because

GOV. MITCHELL’S MESSAGE
THE TREND THEREOF.
The Sporting Fraternity Come I n p or
a Good Roasting.
The Florida legislature convened At
12 o’clock Tuesday for its biennial ses
sion of sixty days. Hon. Fred Myers
of the eighth senatorial district* was
elected president of the senate, and
Hon. W. S. Jennings, of Hernando
county, speaker of the house. The
most important questions to come be
fore the legislature will be those re
lading to the establishment of a rail
road commission, reform of the elec¬
tion law and the relief of the people
from taxation owing to the losses in
curred by the freezes.
In the senate, Senator Darby intro¬
duced. a bill permitting citizens to set¬
tle their taxes for 1894, 1895 and 1896
by giving certificates of indebtedness
bearing interest at 6 per cent per an¬
num and payable as follows: 1894 cer¬
tificates, three years after date; 1895,
two years, and 1896, one year.
Governor Mitchell’s message was
brief and related almost entirely to
matters of only local interest. Under
the head of “prize fighting” the gov¬
ernor says:
i 4 During the last year a most dis¬
graceful and brutal fight of this char¬
acter took place in the city of Jack¬
sonville, and parties who resort to
this laudable occupation as a means of
making a living without honest labor
are boasting that there is no law in
this state to prevent such disgraceful
contests, and openly boast that an¬
other one will be ‘pulled off’ at Jack¬
sonville next September. Gentlemen,
you have it in your power to prevent
this by proper legislation. I recom¬
mend that these prize fights or glove
contests be made felonies by statute,
with such penalties attached as will
cause these thugs to respect the law
and to respect the law-abiding, God¬
fearing people of the state in the pur¬
suit of all their rights as citizens. The
law should authorize sheriffs and those
acting in their aid and assistance,
when they have cause to believe that a
prize fight or glove contest is about to
take place, to enter any house or en»
closure, or any other place wherein
they may have reason to believe
such contest is to take place, for
the purpose of arresting those en¬
gaged or about to engage there
in. Also, that all persons who may
be present at such contest, in anywise
aiding or abetting the same, by bet¬
ting thereon or being present thereat,
shall be deemed guilty of a falony, and
upon conviction be punished the same
as the principals. 5)
Eelative to lotteries the governor
says:
i 4 There has been much said in the
newspapers about a lottery located at
-P or t Tampa, as to the truth of which
I have no knowledge, but I respect
f ull 7 recommend that the law against
lotteries be so amended as to clear
that institution out of the state,if here,
an( ^ present others ... being located m
the state,
Governor Mitchell recommends an
appropriation for the Atlanta exposi
tion, saying: “The comptro-ler rec
ommends that a moderate sum of
mo ney be appropriated to advertise
the state’s resources at the Atlanta
Cotton States and International expo¬
sition, in which I fully concur.
The message concludes with a plea
for the most rigid economy.
