The -i of the times point, in the
3 ic Electrical Review, to re-
3 ;w< cl activity in electrical circles.
Improvement and extension of electric
lighting plants and installation of new
electric railways arc leading features
in this movement.
A careful statistician has found that
of the workingwomen in Chicago
eighty-four percent, earn just a living
■—not one cent more. Fourteen per
cent, save a little every year, and the
remaining two per cent, do not get
enough to keep them from running in
debt.
George C. Hunter, of Oakland, Cal.,
has just come out of the surgeon's
bands without a memory, His skull
was fractured by a flying bolt and the
brain was injured. Although he is now
otherwise perfectly well, lie cannot re¬
member his wife or his mother. Al¬
though he had a good education he can
now neither read nor write.
Say the Louisvillo Courier-Jonrnul:
New Jersey is trying an interesting ex
porim- nt iu road improvement with
results that hav so far proved very
satisfautor y . The system is on * of
Htat<> aid in th construction of dura
ble roadi tho aid to bo available only
on condition that the county’ and tax
ing district through which runs tlie
rmtd that is t*> bo improved pay part
of the cost. Tho principle is the

themselves. The Stat*. s contribution is
large or small according to the local in¬
terest iu road improvements.
Walter Besant, tho British essayist,
routinucs his crusade against the
women who take tho place of men in
tho work of tho world. His argument,
which is not a new’ one, is that when a
woman does a man’s work she lessens
her clianco of a homo and a husband.
If women work, they work, says Mr.
Besant, for a mere subsistence, But a
man demands enough fur two people
to livo upon, so ho can marry and
support a woman. Woman frustrates
tho move when she says: “1 will do
tho work for half the. moneyand
the man remains idle, while the money
goes into tho pockets of tho big
money-makers.
The Boston Advertiser observes:
There are an even half-dozen ex-cabi
ley.
compri • ,> some pretty able men. Only
ouo of the six is a Democrat, aud that
is Vilas, of Wisconsin, who played the
dual rob’ of Secretary of the Interioi
Hud Postmaster-General during the
first Cleveland reign. Proctor, of Ver¬
mont, was the warrior of the Harrison
administration; Chandler, of New
Hampshire, was Secretary of the Navy
under Arthur, and Teller, of Colorado,
Secretary of the Interior under the
same regime. Cameron, of Pennsyl¬
vania, was Secretary of War under
President Grant, and John Sherman
was President Hayes’s financier.
f r l hirty-one persons *lie*l of actual
starvation in London during last year,
eight infants and twenty-three adiills.
Not one of tho unfortunate persons
had over applied to the parish author¬
ities for relief, and in only one ease
had the deceased person been at auy
time the inmate of a poor house or
hospital. All were people of unques¬
tioned respectability, who had come
upon hard times and whose pri*le and
horror of accepting public aim s over
came the sharpest pangs of hunger.
A sample story is in this official
record : “James McDonald, aged about
ninety years; date of inquest, Febru¬
ary 19th. .Deceased would not apply
to the parish; verdict, starvation.”
A census of the popular taste iu mu
the of the people of Sail Francisco is
being taken by the Examiner, of that
city. Readers of the paper are asked
to fill out a blank programme of ten
numbers with the selections they
w ould like the Golden Gate Park Band
to play. Of several hundred pro¬
grammes thus made up the great ?r
proportion favor light operatic music.
Of an average 100 expressions of pref¬
erence Wagner aud Sousa were brack¬
eted iu thirty-one instances; Strauss
music was favored by thirty voters,
3>e Korea's airs by twenty-seven and
Balfe, A erdi aud Rossini by twenty
two. A large proportion of the voters
want variety stage airs, aud it is curi¬
ous that many ask for“Auuie Roonev,”
“McGinty ’ and airs that no band or
street plan would dare play there.
There arc many calls fur old favorite
like “Suwauoe River,” “Dixie,” “Kil
larney” and “Come Back to Eriu.”
There have been more call: for tho

“Tanuhauser" overture is the next fa¬
vorite. These two are followed iu > r -

The North Carolina state commis¬
sioner of agriculture says it is now
certain that the sales of the commer-j
cial fertilizers in North Carolina, out- ,
side of the trucking districts, will be i
much less than those of last spring,
The amount of home-made fertilizer, 1
mainly compost being used, is found j
to be much greater than ever before. 1
The farmers are far ahead with their !
work all over the state. The fine !
weather has permitted work to be ■
done almost without intermission.
The commissioners of election met
at Charleston, S. C., and tabulated
the vote for congress iu Charleston
county. The official figures are: Izlar,
democrat, 3,019; Stokes, populist, 129.
W. Gibbs Whaley and John Gary Ev
ans appeared before the board and
moved to throw out all the ballots poll
ed in the city on account of irregular
ities. Frauds were specifically charged
iu the fourth ward, which polled 400
votes. The charges were proven false
by affidavits and the protest was dis
missed.
The initial step has been taken at
Birmingham toward the organization
of tlie Daughters ot Confederate Vete
rans. The ladies of the city met for
the purpose of offering to assist iu
taking care of the veterans who will
attend the reunion in Ajiril when it
was suggested that they call them
selves the daughters of the Confeder
ate Veterans. From this the idea of
organizing a national association with
this name grew with favor until it was
resolved that steps be taken to organ¬
ize such an association during the re
union iu Ajiril.
A Little courtesy costs nothing,
but it always returns a handsome
profit.

luesday morning. The conterenee was
about recent liquor seizures by federal
officials in South Carolina. It was de
veloped that there was no conflict of
authority between the state authorities

Revenue Bureau. Tillman left with a
perfect and understanding of the situation,
apparently well satisfied with the
interview.
Representative Bland, of Missouri,
wishes it understoood that the com
mittee on coinage, weights and meas¬

as a body, waited upon Secretary Car¬
lisle to give any pledges as to their
future action in case the seigniorage
bill should become a law. The indi¬
vidual members, he sa} r s, may have
spoken with the secretary and assured
him that if the bill were signed, there
wou ia be no further silver legislation
by this congress, but that if they did
this it was in their personal capacity
and w ithout any authority from the
committee.

eight nomi
nation of New York postmasters have
been confined by the senate. There
are now pending before the commit
tee to which they were referred forty
eight n<iminations, ten of which were
sent to the senate on the assembling
of congress. For this reason, Post
Piaster General Bissell lias l*een
unwilling, in many instances,
to recommend nominations to
offices in New York state on the expi¬
ration of the commissions held by re¬
publican postmasters, until he has
some intimation of the fate of those
already sent in. Neither of the New
York senators ever visits the postoffice
department or recommends the ap¬
pointment to any candidate, notwith¬
standing the fact that the department
has invited them to make known their
wishes regarding postoflice appoint¬
ments.
A New ( liiiiesc Treaty.
The senate committee on foreign re¬
lations has been considering an im
portant Chinese treaty negotiated by
liew Chinese minister and Secreta
ry Gresham. The treaty was sent to
senate some time ago, aud
re fered to the foreign relations
commit tee, where it has been
fully considered and discussed in all
its details. It is said that it does not
meet with the approval of some sena
tors who are members of the committee.
It is understood that this opposition,
while considerable, has not been suffi¬
cient to prevent its being reported
favorably, though possibly with some
amendments. As negotiated, the
treaty practically sets aside and super
cedes the Scott exclusion act and the
recently enacted Geary law. It is an
imigration treaty and provides for the
admittance of Chinese immigrants uu
der restrictions. It also has for its
object the protection of Chinese al¬
ready in this country.
SENATOR COLQUITT BETTER.
Some Improvement in His Condition
and Hopes for His Recovery.
Latest advices from Washington
state that Senator Colquitt is much
better. The improvement in his eon
dition has been wonderful. Early
Thursday morning he showed signs of
improvement and for the first time
since his attack indicated that he
would have food. Several times dur
ing the day he was able to take food
in the form of soup and to drink milk,
While he is still unable to speak, his
brain is perfectly clear and his actions
and expressions indicate that be feels
continue to impr ove.
Dr. Walsh thinks his improvement
iel wonderful, and hopes that it will
continue so. The members of the
family are much relieved at the favor¬
able change in his condition, and now
confidently expect the improvement to
continue. While they realize that he
cannot entirely recover, they are hope
ful that his life may be spared to them
for months and even vears.

Dr. Arios is the leading candidate and

At Nashville, Tenn., Judge Ander¬
son has decided the case of J. M.
Overton, under indictment for misde¬
meanor iu entering into the coal com¬

agreed statement of facts to the effect
that the defendant had entered into
the contract as charged, and that the
combine handled exclusively the out¬
put of sixteen mines. The judge de¬
cided that Overton was guilty as
charged, aud fined him #250. A num¬
ber of other members of the combine
are under indictment.
Judge Simonton has tiled a decree at
Charleston, S. C., dismissing the com¬
plaint of the Richmond and Danville
railroad. This suit was similar to the
other railroad tax cases heretofore de¬
cided. In each case the roads claimed
that their property was over assessed
for taxation. They paid the amount
of taxes on what they considered a fair
assessment, and then brought suit
against the county sheriff’s and treasu¬
rers to restrain them from collecting
the remainder of the taxes. Judge
Simonton decides that the railroads
have no remedy at law against the al¬
leged over assessment.
John E. Stinson and E. H. Rogers,

000 exemplary damages. The two men
bring suit on account of having been
placed, as they allege, on the black list
of the company as discharged for
drunkenness. They allege that this is
defamatory of their ehaiaeter, besides
taking away their means of livelihood,
as they have no otker occupation, and
a Western Union employe cannot, un¬
less reinstated by the company, get
employment in any other telegraph
concern.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week.
A review of the industrial situation in the
South for the past week shows that the South¬
ern iron furnaces are finding a market for their
outputs, and that whi'e the prices are still very
low, the iron masters are slowly increasing tho
number of plants in active operation, and re¬
port that thero is but little accumulation of
stock on hand. The coal producers are s’eadi
Iv at work, but sdiow no disposition to increase
their production, in view of both existing de¬
mand and present prices. The texrile industry
is prosperous. New mills and improv ments

Sun says: “It is learned from an au¬
thoritative quarter that the queen and
the prince of Wales have given their
consent to the Marriage of Lord Rose
berry with princess Maud,of W T ales,and
the official announcement may be
expected any day. This was the busi¬
ness which caused Roseberry’s urgent
summons to the queen’s presence on
the Saturday before the announcement
of Gladstone’s retirement and the mys
terious hobnobbing of the ministers on
the Sunday following. How the radi¬
cals will relish the leadership of the
prince of Whiles’ son-in-law, who pre¬
sumably, will be peculiarly susceptible
to court influences, remains to be seen. ”

house, Monday, the sundry civil lull
was taken up and it was agreed that
debate on the pending amendment re¬
lating to the Missouri river commis¬
sion should be closed at 2 p. m.
After a general debate in the house
Tuesday morning the sundry bill was
passed. Provisions in the bill affect¬
ing the management of the Soldier’s
home, which was opposed by General
Black, of Illinois, one of the
board of managers, were ruled out
on a point of order. The amendments
agreed to increase the total of appro¬
priations by $214,741, making the total
#82,521,124. Mr. Patterson t hen called
up the O’Neil l-Joy contested election
case from tho eleventh district of Mis¬
souri, and demanded the yeas and nays
and they were called. The vote was—
yeas, 150; nays, 4. Mr. Patterson
offered a resolution, which was
agreed to, revoking all leaves of ab¬
sence except for sickness, and direct¬
ing the sergeant-ut-arms to telegraph
absent members requesting their pres¬
ence. He then moved that when the
house adjourned it be to Thursday at
12 o’clock. This was agreed to—148
to 33—and at 3 :55 o’clock the house
adjourned.
In the house, Thursday, on motion
of Mr. Cox, of Connecticut, the house
bill passed extending tho time in which
the St. Louis and Birmingham rail¬
road company may lmild a bridge
over the Tennessee river at Clifton,
Tenn. Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee,
called up the O’Neill-Joy contested
election ease from the eleventh dis¬
trict of Missouri, to which Waugh, of
Indiana, raised the question of con¬
sideration. On a division there were
309 ayes, noes 1. Tho yeas and nays
were ordered. This showed 159 demo¬
crats present, 20 less than a quorum.
THE .SENATE.
Tlie vice-president, having returned
to the city, presided over the senate
Monday. The seigniorage bill, signed
by the speaker of the house, was re¬
ceived. It was signed by the vice
president. Mr. Peffer presented by
request, bU'« for the employment otj,
labor on puiAie improvements and the
improvements of public roads. Mr.
George gave notice that he w’ould ad¬
dress the senate Tuesday on tlie Ha¬
waiian question.
In the senate, Tuesday, Mr. Voor
hees, chairman of the finance commit¬
tee, reported the tariff bill soon after
the reading of the journal. The duty
on collars and cuffs is increased from
45 per cent to 55 prrc.jn t ad vaictCM^
The only additions to the free lipAare
horn strips and tips and ccybeanuts.
Section 105 which provides that the
president shall notify the Ikwr^iian
government of the intention of
government to abrogate the fWoty of
1875, has been stricken out. The
clause of that section repealing that
part of the McKinley act providing
for reciprocal treaties has been
amended to read as follows: “That
sections 3, 15 and 16 of act, etc., are
hereby repealed and all agreements or
arrangements made or proclaimed be¬
tween the United States and foreign
governments under the provisions of
said sections are hereby abrogated, of
which the president shall give such
notice to the authorities of said for¬
eign governments as may be required
by the terms of such agreements or
arrangements.” Tlie most important
change in the administrative features
of the bill is the action of the com¬
mittee iu striking out tho words
“highest duty” as found in the
house bill and regulating the rates of
duty on all goods coming in under the
similitude clause and substituting
therefor the words “lowest duty.”
This was the subject of a long argu¬
ment in the full committee, in which
Secretary Carlisle endorsed the pro¬
visions of the house bill. The commit¬
tee, therefore, has made change in all
goods enumerated or coming in under
the similitude clause will pay the
highest instead of the lowest rate of
duty. The sugar schedule is as fol¬
lows: All sugars testing not above
80 degrees, 1 cent; from 80 to 90
degrees, 1-100 of a cent for each
degree; from 90 to 98, 2-100 of
a cent for each degree; all
sugars testing above 98, or above. No.
16 Dutch standard in color, -} of a cent
per pound in addition to the duty on su¬
gar testing above 98 degrees. Whisky,
iron ore, coal, lead ore and opium are
unchanged. One of the republican
members of the committee, stated that
so far as the republican members of
the committee were concerned, they
did not object to the reporting of the
bill, but they were opposed to the in¬
come tax feature in it and the change
from specific to ad valorem duties.
Mr. Voorhees gave notice that he
would call up the bill for considera¬
tion on April 2nd. At 12:45, Mr.
George, of Mississippi, proceeded to
address the senate ori the Hawaiian
question.
There was very little routine morn¬
ing business in the senate Wednesday,
and after it was disposed of**unobject¬
ed bills on the calendar were taken up
and a number passed.
The senate adopted a resolution of¬
fered by Mr. Hoar Thursday, express¬
ing regard at the death of Louis Kos
suE' and tendering to the family of
tlm decased the condolence of the sen¬
ate. Ihe senate agreed that when it
adjourned it be to meet Monday.
Dying of “Sjiotled Fever.”
News has been received at Nashville
that the family of J. M. Cary, living
in the Twenty-fifth district of Carroll
county, Tenn., are severely afflicted
with what appears to be spotted fever.
A few days ago the family, ten in
number, ate dinner apparently in good
health and before night four of the
number were sick, one dying that
night. Another died Monday night,
another Thursday night aud still an¬
other Tuesday night, and, when last
heard from, four others of the family
were ill with the same disease, with no
hope of recoverv.

BUSINESS REVIEW.
Report of Trade for the Past Week by
Dun & Co.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: Week by week it is found
possible by an increasing number of
concerns to revive production with a
general range of prices the lowest ever
known, many with a doubt how long
they will be able to operate. Thus the
measure of resumption by works or
hands or hours of labor is not a meas¬
ure of the revival in business, either as
to quantity or values of goods distrib¬
uted. Prices of commodities are this
week on the whole, the lowest of which
there is any record, having declined i
per cent in March and averaging 11.3
per cent lower than a year ago, so that
more than a third of the decrease in
volume of all payments is due to decline
in prices of things consumed.
Six more iron furnaces have gone
into blast this mouth, in part because
juices of finished products are a shade
lower, and further contracts have thus
been secured. Pittsburg gets the lion’s
share and has most of its works in op¬
eration.
The number of failures this week is
244 in the United States against 150
last year, and 55 in Canada against 30
last year. The absence of important
embarrassments is still most encour¬
aging.

When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.

Funeral of Kossiilli
The family of Louis Kossuth have
expressed their desire that the body of
the Hungarian patriot shall be removed
to Buda Pesth and that the funeral
shall take place in the Hungarian cap
itol. It is understood that the body
will be taken to Hungary by way of
Venice in order to avoid its passage
over Austrian soil.
