Of tba total working expenses of th«
railways over sixty per cent, goes in

While New York is talking of resum
ing executions by hanging, Ohio is talk¬
ing of abandoning that method to try
electrocution.
The King of Italy is said to have a
schoolboy's fondness for going to fires,
v^hich nre mote interesting to him its
spectacles than any stage pcrfoirnancc.
A prominent financier of New York
City, who has just returned from an ex¬
tensive tour in the West, says that he
has never in all his experience seen
money plentiful in the Western States
us at present.
• Trie Austrian nietnoa or execution
reem«, to tho Chicago Herald, to lie lmt
a slight improvement on electrocution.
The Austrians swing a halter over tho
neck of a murderer ani string him up,
while the executioner-in-chief, wearing
white kid gloves,caimly beholds tho vic¬
tim wriggle, and two ponderous assist¬
ants pull him down by the legs.
It was remarked during the American
Civil War that soldiers ordered to somo
impossible service pinned papers on their
clothes identilying what would shortly
bo tho remains. This reminiscence lend*
Interest to the fact that tho Belgium
Minister of War has just decided that
In future each soldier will be furnished
with a small bone disc bearing the name,
birthplace and regimental number of tho
holder, so that in the event of his being
killed or injured on the field of battle
identification will be easy and rapid.
Instructive, declares tho New York
Bun, is tho failure of soite State-aided
settlements in New Zealand. Govern¬
ment gives an eligible tract to a colony;
If they bring thirty or more children
Government builds a school; needful
roads are paid for by Government, which
hires the colonists themselves for the
work, and these are real roads laid out
and superintended by engineers. These
colonies have very generally failed be*
cause tho settlers argue, “The Govern¬
ment sent us hero aud the Government
has got to help us out, whether we work
rr nre idle.”
Says the Argonaut: A city which it is
natural to compare with San Francisco is
Melbourne, the chief seaport of Victoria
in Australia. The two cities are coeval.
California was admitted to the Uqjcwj in
1850; Victoria was set apart from New
South Wales, of which it had constituted
the southern division iu 1851. In 1837
Lord Melbourne consented to give his
name to the now city at the head of Port
Philip; ten years later the namo of
Yerba Buena was changed to San Fran¬
cisco. In 1851 a census gave Melbourne
a population of 23,000; in 1852 another
census gave San Francisco 34,870.
Gold was discovered in California in
1848; the like discovery was made in
Australia in 1851. In 1859 the adven¬
turous, the hopeful, the enterprising
from all parts of the world llocked to
San Francisco, two years later the same
classes steered for the Antipodes. Tho
two cities are certainly contemporary.
Tho Paddock Pure Food bill, which
recently passed the United States Senate
nnd then went to the House ot Repre¬
sentatives, has been denounced by many
newspapers as au offensive aud unjust
attempt to supervise the business of pri¬
vate citizens. The New York Sun says
it “opens the way for most offensive and
unnecessary inquisition into the business
of private citizens, attending to their
own business iu their own States; and it
coufers upon the Department of Agricul¬
ture extraordinary powers. It intrusts
to a changing body of experts or inex¬
perts, to be kuowu as the Food Section
of the Chemical Division of Mr. Rusk’s
department, the duty of analyzing or
having analyzed samples of food and
drugs exposed for sale in any State or
Territory other than that in which they
were manufactured, or in a foreign coun¬
try if they are in the original package.
It makes a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and imprisonment, the introduction
into one State or Territory from an¬
other of any food or drug adulterated
or improperly branded. A drug,
under the provisions of this act, is any
medicine, internal or external. A food
is anything plain or mixed, simple or
compound, which is used for food or
‘Kink by mortal man. Every person who
jhins food or drugs from one State to an¬
other, or exposes the same fer sale, must
furnish samples to the agents of the Food
Section of the Chemical Division of the
Department of Agriculture. Refuse and
it costs you from $10 to $ 100 and im ¬
,
prisonment fer from thirty to o^e hun¬
dred days. Who asks for the supervision
oroposed by this bill? What is its real
object? Why are the States not able to
,ake care of the food and the drugs that
are manufactured or sold within their
limits? We need not dwell upon the op¬
portunities which the bill offers of an¬
noying and blackmailing manufacturers
if drugs and articles of food. We have
not heard that the citizeus of the United
States are complaining about the quality
»f thair food or thsir drugs.”

Krupp guns are not desirable neigh¬
bors, thinks the New York Post,even in
times of peace. The inhabitants of Essen
suffer much in nerves and house prop¬
erty from the trials of the heavy gUDs

large fissures from the shocks,and others
are actually unsafe.
The suggestion has lately been urged
that folks would do well to facilitate the
gathering and delivery of mail matter by
equipping their dwellings and business
places with private letter boxes in the
London manner. But your nimble thief,
warns the New York Sun, ever keeps
pace with his opportunities. In Lon¬
don his latest caper is to insert a bag in
the letter box which stops the letters,
and is withdrawn as soon as tho carrier
has made his deposit and passed on.
“What mamma of a new baby,” asks
the Courier-Journal, “will thank Dr.
Robinson for his pictures showing the
similarity of a baby's foot aud that of ac
ape? No baby should be so ill-used. A
little further on, when the baby hat
grown to be the ‘small boy,’ his actions
and sometimes bis looks are remailcablj
like those of the monkey race. At this
time only should Darwinian illustrations
be allowed. All comparisons that dc
not compare baby with the angels should
be thrown out.”
The students in St. Petersburg, Rus¬
sia. are enjoying themselves hugely now¬
adays. So long as they do not meddle
with politics, and thus add one more to
the many pressing difficulties of tho
moment, the authorities seem disposed to
let them do very much as they please.
A correspondent described a scene, which
occurred the other evening in the Winter
Garden, the principal cafe chantant of
the city. Ordinarily, the greatest
decorum is preserved iu this establish¬
ment, and any private person who mis¬
conducts himself is escorted to tho
nearest police station without ceremony.
On the evening in question, however,
about 300 students took possession of
the hall, aud in an hour or two were all
in a state of intoxication, parading up
and down hand in hand, smashing the
furniture and crockery. Finally they
mounted the stage and put au end to the
performance. The Pristav looked on
smiling, and merely stationed a couple
of men below to prevent any more of the
public from entering. The whole place
was wrecked and strewn with broken
tables aud glass, and not a sound chair
was left to sit upon. No explanation,
except that of general depravity, is
given of the conduct of these playful
young ruffiaus.
In a few months the World’s Fair
dedicatory ceremonies will take place—
on October 12. Of these the most in¬
teresting from a spectacular point of
view will be the night parades of floats
through the canal and lagoons. Each
barge will l ear a representation of some
incident of American history, The de
signs and groups have already been de¬
cided on. In this “procession of the
centuries,” as it is to be termed, the van
will be held by the aboriginal people in
cauoes. Following them will come a
float showing the cliff-dwellers, and an¬
other representing the “Age of Metal.”
Of the latter it is said : “The float shows
one of the huge teocallies of Old Mexico,
within the shrine is to be seen the flower
garlanded, blood-bespattered image of
Huitzilopochtli, the war god. Before
the shrine there is a procession. This
float, of vast proportions, will blaze with
yellow sheen of gold and ruddier tones
of copper, and be rich in great masse*
of brilliant coloring.” Next will be
seen an ancient barge bearing a tableau
of the court of Ferdinand and Isabella,
with Columbus in the foreground, to be
followed by “The Departure from
Palos.” The discovery of America and
the various discoveries of De Soto, La
Salle and others will be pictured out
with all the wealth of costume, scenic
embellishment and electrical illumina¬
tions. Other scenes will be “The Land¬
ing of the Pilgrims,” “Hudson Explor¬
ing the Hudson,” “Washington and His
Generals,” “The Signing of the Declara¬
tion of Independence,” “The Thirteen
Original States and the Growth of the
Nation,” “Westward Ho,” “The Genius
of Invention,” “Electricity,” “War,”
and “Peace. ” Bringing up in the
rear
will be floats designed to represent Ag ri.
cultulture, Science, Art, Literature, Uni¬
versal Freedom of Mau, Equal Rights,
Law and Justice, and “Liberty Enlight
suing th« World.”

Interesting Notes Gathered From Hen
and There Oyc? ihe State. I
The committee appointed to select the I
site for the Odd Fellow's Orphans Home
have decided upon Manchester, nedr At
ianta. The site embraces twenty-five
acres of lovely woodei land. A $25,000
brick building will be erected fur the
home. The Odd Fellows anticipate no
trouble in raising the necessary sum to
build and maintain the home. The com
mittee passed resolutions thanking Stone
Mountain, Griffin, Gainesville and Ma
con for the very libera! donations and
splendid sites offered.
One of the biggest shipments by ex¬
press ever received in the south arrived
in Atlanta a few days a' 40 . It was eight
tons and a half of machinery that had
been purchased by the Atlanta Traction
company. In order to avoid the delay
in transportation a big amount of electri¬
cal dynamos were bought in Connecticut
and Vermont and ordered to be sent bv
express. This big haul surprised even
the officials of the Richmond and Dan¬
ville, over which road it was snipped.
A rule has been issued against the
Southern Express Company in the United
States court at Atlanta on the applica¬
tion of counsel in the original bill of
Rowena Clark vs. the Central railroad.
The rule calls on the express company to
show cause why they should not pay'the
6 um of $50,000 due by them to the Cen¬
tral for the use of the road from January
1st to March 1, 1892. The prayer for the
rule sets fouth that the Richmond and
Danville railroad has given instructions
to the express company not to pay an ex
tension of the receivership over the $50,
000 owed by the express company. A
hearing is sest for the 14th inst.
By mutual agreement the real estate
board organized some time ago in At¬
lanta has been dissolved and the secreta-,
ry was instructed to pay all expenses
incurred and refund its pro rata amount
of money left to the members who cou
tributed it. About thiity members, em
bracing the leading agents of the city,
signed the constitution and by-laws, and
at one time it seemed that the board
would accomplish a good work. But for
one cause and another different members
became disaffected and the general in¬
difference became so great that in
response to various calls for a meeting a
quorum could not be had for the trans¬
action of business. This resulted in the
dissolution.
*
Railroads furnish the sensations of the
day. Judge Henry B. Thompkins, of
Atlanta has filed a bill in the United
States court in behalf of the Central
Trust company, of New York, against
the Atlanta and Florida railroad et al.
The Central Trust company is the trus¬
tee for the bondholders of the Atlanta
and Florida, and the bill, which is some¬
what voluminous, alleges that on May 1st
of the current year the defendant com¬
pany defaulted for the amount of interest
on outstanding bonds for the amount of
$25,200 due on that day. The bonds are
secured by a mortgage to the Central
Trust Company amounting to $840,000.
The prayer is tnat the bill be consolidated
with the other bill under which Mr. It.
H. Plant was appointed receiver and
which is now pending in the Unit'd
States court in Atlanta. The bill also
asks for a foreclosure of the mortgage
and the sale of the road at once for the
benefit of the creditors.
Kail road Tax Returns.
The first tax returns of the year show
a hiavy decrease. The first returns of
the year are those which the railroads
make to the comptroller general, and
they are always looked forward to with
great interest, for it has been observed
that, whether the railroal returns go up
or down, the returns of other property
later in the year are pretty sure to follow
suit. There seems to be a kind of sym¬
pathy between railroads and other prop¬
erty, and this year railroad returns reflect
the general depression. Comptroller gen¬
eral Wright has received the returns of
several railroad companies, and nearly all
of them show a decrease. But the comp¬
troller will not accept these returns. He
will send them back to the railroad offi¬
cials, with objections noted on the docu¬
ments. There is no doubt that this is a
hard year with the railroads, but the
comptroller ify does not think the facts just¬
such returns as the above.
The State Fair.
This fall should see the best state fair
ever held in Georgia. Farmers all over
the state are taking a deeper interest iu
the fair than they have ever done before.
Liberal premiums are offered. A de¬
parture from the old custom is allowing
individual prizes, and, at the same time,
farmers from the same county can club
together and compete for a county prize.
President Waddell says that the premium
list is much larger than in the past.
The field covered is broader and the
amounts are greater. The purses offered
for the racing events have been increased,
and there should be a fine list of entries.
The relations between Macon and the
State Agricultural Association are thor¬
oughly pleasant. Both will do all in
their power to make the fair a success.
There is, as yet, no indication of lival
fairs or expositions around, and this
makes the managers all the more hopeful.
Tne fair w ill open October 25th, and
continue ope •o- until November 4th. Col.
Waddell is in correspondence with some
1 f the leading farmers of the state in re-
8 a rd to exhibits. B sides the usual dis¬
play 01 fruits and grain and cot to i, there
will probably be an exhibit of the state’s
minerals, which will be an interesting
study. A class of students at the State
university will send an exhibit, and there
will be a display fr- m the state experi¬
mental farm. The premium list is in the
hands of the printer, and is expected to
be ready in a few days.
Weather Crop Report.
The crop report for tae past week
shows a scarcity of rain all over Georgia.
The report says:
There is a general complaint of want
of rain in all parts of the state, except
the northeast counties. In the southern
tier of counties no rain of any a nount
has fallen for nearly six weeks and the
drought is becoming seriou*. Complaint
is abo univtrsil of chilly nights. While
the days seem fairly warm and there has
been an average am >unt of sunshine, the
nights have been cold aad this has kept
the grouod chilled and retarded plant
growth. The season is still backward,
except probably in some of the
northwest counties, Cotton planting
has been delayed, chiefly on ac¬
count of the want of rain, which
has left the ground hard and baked and
in poor condition for working, Even in

Corn has stood the drought much bet

complaint as to the condition of the corn
crop. The crop is being worked »nd

wheat are iu very good c nditon in the
north. In the south oats especially are
suffering severely from drought. Small
graiu is heading out and if rain coons in
a short time the prospects will be good.
The condition of the fruit crop is ex¬
cellent in the central, western and south¬
western counties. In the northeast also,
there is a fair set. In the northwest it
seems what that the peach ctop will be some¬
short.
Direct Trnde.
We extract the following from an ar¬
ticle on direct trade from Mr. I. W.
Avery:
“The great subject of direct trade for
the south with foreign countries is cre.t
ing a deep and widespread interest. The
movement is meeting with a strong and
universal endorsement. The uecessiiy
and benefit of it are fully realized, and
all are eager for and ready to uuite in
trying to get it. Success involves a can¬
did discussion of the d faculties in the
way, and the means and prosp 1 Cts of
overcoming them. We will, for the
present, look at the Dials that have been
made since the war, as based upon the
new conditions wrought by that great
struggle, with it* colossal and revolu
tionary results.
In 1871 the Brunswick and Albany
railroad arfatiged for a liue of British
steamships from Liverpool to Brunswick,
but the collapse of that railway enter¬
prise and the control of the connecting
road from Brunswick to the west by a
rival line broke up the scheme. That
cause of failure is not likely now.
Aline was started between Virginii
and Europe later, but It could only get
exports during the cotton season, and
while there were enough imports for the
south to support a line, there was not
enough money in the southern ports to
hold cargoes for dis ribution, and this
drove the importing to northern ports,
where there was ample money. This line
died. We have now more to export,
more cotton and naval stores, rice, ores,
manufactures and western grain. And
the English lines propo-e to back us with
all the money needed to ruu the business.
* * * A. difficulty in the way has been
the apathy and ind fference of our south¬
ern people. We believe that this will no
louecr exist. Our farmers, railroads and
business men have suffered and are suf¬
fering enough to be wide-awake to their
needs, a d to become enthused for any¬
thing, like direct trade, that will give
relief, aud that is so practicable anil ef¬
fective. The law does not allow a ship
to bring cargoes from abroad and land
them in parts at different pons, and the
difficulty of getting full cargoes for the
same southern port has been serious.
But, with the increased tiade of the
south, so rapidly expanding, this ob¬
stacle will be removed. Now, let us go
to work in earnest and get a permanent
line established, the railroads and cities
and business men and farmers all uniting,
working steamship together and giving freight to a
line, and the thing will be
be done, to the benefit of all.”
Novels the Time.
Now is the time to invigorate and for¬
tify your constitution by using a few
bottles of Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla.
You need it. Everybody needs to take
this excellent alternative aud blood
cleanser at this season of the year. It
will cure you of weakness. It will give
you strength. It may save you an attack
of pneumonii or other severe spel s of
sickness, for at the approach of spriug
the system is very susceptible to taking
cold unless fortified by the use of this
remedy. If you are in the habit of tak
ing iodide of potash each spring, try it
this year dissolved in
Dr. John BulPs Sarsaparilla.
Thus taken, iodide of potash has no evil
after effect on the stomach, liver and
kidneys. Each bottle of Bull’s Sarsa¬
parilla contains 48 tablespoonfuls of
medicine. A half ounce Iodide of Pot
ash added to a bottle of Dr. John Buii’s
Sarsaparilla equals and five grains tr each
tablespoonful, thus you know exact¬
ly how much you ate taking.
{^“Alfred Howell, Cairo, Ill., writes:
“For years I have been affected with au
incurable case of blood disease. Bull’s
Sarsaparilla is the only remedy th it gives
me any durable relief. Whenever I take
iodide of potash I always take it with
Bull’s Sarsaparilla. It always has a bet¬
ter effect on my system when mixed
with this Sarsaparilla.”
“Late to bed and early to rise will
shorten the road to your home in the
kie*.” But early to bed and a “Little
Early Riser,” the pill that makes life
ng and better and wiser.

BUSINESS REVIEW
For Past Week ns Compiled by Dun
& Co.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade for :
week ending April 20th says: Busintss
failures occurring throughout the country j
during Week number for the United i
States 180, Canada, More favorabie
wefither in many parts of the country has
brought better reports of business. Un¬
doubtedly distribution has been much
retarded by the backward season and the
quarters^oHecthjusv^been^ But the ifijprove.i slow° enfe on in i
that account.
such quarters for the week has been gen- j
eral aud meanwhile the volume of bust- '
mss continues to surpass all previous
records, gaining but little and yet gain¬
ing at the east over last year and falling
behind only about 1 perceut at the south
in ;he aggregate, notwithstanding the
great depression in the price of cotton.
The volume of trade has been over ten
per cent greater than iu any other year
at the west, though on the Pacific slope
some decrease appears.
At Philadelphia the dry goods trade
equals expectations; though Baltimore, the southern near-by
trade improves, the
trade is smaller, and city supplies a
Wider territory. At Philadelphia no im¬
provement is seen in iron.and pig sells fair¬
ly,but at low prices; while finished iron i*
produced in large quantities, though
makers comp’aiu of unprofitable rates.
The south still reports an unsatisfactory
trade at many points, though prospects
are considered brighter at Savannah, and
collections are good at Nashville. Trade
at New Orleans is quiet, the demand for
cotton being moderate; sugar, quiet but
firm, and rice steady with a moderate de¬
mand.
A striking feature of the week has been
an immense and unprecedented trade in
dress goods. S .lesof wool at Boston,
Philadelphia and New York have been
88,748.570 pounds this year against 82,
0-58,426 last year, a gain of 8 per c.-ufc.
B >th receipts and exports of cotton fall
behind last year’s Money ha 9 been un¬
disturbed and easy. The treasury has
paid out $ 3 100,000 more gold than it has
,
taken in, but has taken in $700,000 more
silver than the iucrease of small notes.
Merchandise reports for April show a
gain of 9 per cent over last year at New
York, while in imports there is some de
ere <se. Though railroad earnings con¬
tinue large stocks are dull and rathei
low.rthan a w eek ago.
