New York own* one-fonrfh of tho
commercial shipping of the United
States.
Tn time of war France isprepared to
pnt 370 ont of every 1000 of her pop
illation in the field; Germany, 310;
Rum:*, 210.
The American Humane Society ha?
offered $1000 t the ftret leading
American college or university which
shall establish a profe*ecrship of social
science and humanity.
More of the citizens of the United
P-tate? acquired by immigration have
come from Germany, declares the New
York World, than from any oth°r na¬
tion the number for seventy-five
years, being 4,484,480,
Under a new French law cyclists are
compelled to have affixed to their
machines a m fc tal plate hearing their
name and address, so that the identify

of an infringement of regulations.
“The table of suicides for la t year,*
observes a contemporary, “shows
three men to one woman. Booze?”
Partially “booze,” perhaps, and par
ti&Ily women, comments the Courier
Journal. Women can’t equal men’i
record as suicides, lint they are far in
advance of man as the causes of sui¬
cides. There are some things in which
man might as well acknowledge that
woman io his superior.
It is believed that there is a great
field for the exportation of our agri¬
cultural implements, the cheapest and
most effective in the world, to the
Spanish American countries, The
machete, which is only a great knife,
serves instead of nx and spade in many
of those countries. The United States
Consul-General for Ecuador believes
that if clever agents were sent, down to
ahow the people how to use better im¬
plements a trade could be created at
once.
The decline in silver has caused a
slight check upon the demand for
American cotton goods from China,
states the New York Tribune. Since
last November there has been a. fall¬
ing off in the trade, but prominent
exporting houses do not consider the
decrease of particular significance at
prosent. Representatives of some of
the houses said that the decline in
silver had undoubtedly affected the
trade, aud that if silver continued to
go down there would be a big tailing
off’ in exports.
Th. RrowtU of great title, in tha
TTa. e,l State,, ud the remarkable
tendency of the American people to
flock to the cities, have recently be
come a subject of study. It is revealed
by the census, notes the New Orleans
Picayune, that in 1790 but three per
cent, of the people of thia country
lived in towns of more than 5000 in
habitants. ive^^v^qSIrr^re' In 1840 only eight per
cent, so l 1
twenty-two per cent, of the popula¬
tion in cities, and in 1890 more than
one-fourth of the population of the
United States had become city resi¬
dents.
President George Post, of the Arch
itectuml League, at » meeting held at
New Y’ork surprised the members by
advocating the passage of a law against
the erection of sky-scraping build
ings, which, he said, made the street
the hot-bed of malaria and were in
themselves eye sores. He admitted
being the architect who planned one
of New Y’ork’s sky-scrapers, but he
was opposed to high buildings and
would sacrifice the extra dollars made
by them for the sake of artistic and
hygienic principles. The sentiments
so expressed were applauded, and a
committee was appointed to draft a
bill for presentation to the Legislature
for the prevention of the erection of
such high structures in the future.
Says Harper's Weekly: “State aid
to localities for any purpose i«, of
course, open to grave objections, It
should be seldom vouchsafed, and
never except in exigent cases; but,
after years of agitation, good roads in
New York have slim prospects save as
the State assists them. Massachusetts
has found that State aid aud super
vision are the only feasible methods.
New York will find the same, unless
present signs are defective. Certainly
if time be a factor in the problem—if
good roads are soon to be begun—
State aid must be given. While the
press has been almost a unit in their
behalf, the highest economic author!
tie* have approved them, and the
eplendid highways of the Old World
have been constant object lessons tc
the New, comparatively little has here
been accomplished. There has been
much agitation, with small results.
The argument is concluded. Action
should ensue; and under the circum
stances—the need of prompt, compre¬
hensive and intelligent actiou—th<
proposition for State aid is entitled tc
consideration.

The fact was brought out in a Phile
delphia court the other day that a cer
tain money-lender of that city has
been in the habit of charging 1200 per

The college dullards have got an
other shining example at which to
point with pride, remarks the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Premier
Rosebery took no honors at Oxford,

won among hie fellows by drinking

Three of the Protestant Episcopal
dioceses of New York State have more
than 1.000,000 inhabitants each, and
one of the three, the diocese of New
York, has more than 2,000,000. The
diocese of Long Island is the most
densely populated. Tt has an area of
about 1400 square miles, and a popu¬
lation of more than 1,000,000. The
dioceso of New Y'ork has an area of
about 5000 square miles, with a popu¬
lation exceeding 2,000,000.
In spite of the interest long felt in
the cliff dwellers of the West, there
are still some fine examples of their
work in Eastern Utah, as yet unex¬
plored. The approach from this side
is over the ranges and high mesas of
Western Colorado, a country most
difficult to traverse, and peopled
chiefly 3>y miners too eager for gold
and silver - to give much time or
thought to ethnography. This may
explain the fact, the Chicago Herald
suggests, that so interesting a region
remains neglected.
Modelling in clay, which was a
popular fad in many'Schools two or
three years ago, has been generally
abandoned. It was found, explains
the Boston Cultivator, that where
large numbers of children, each after
the otlier, handled the same clay, the
skin diseases affecting one were com¬
municated to all. There is really no
instruction in art gained by teachers
amusing their pupils in this way.
The younger scholars like it, but it is
better to let them find their arause
ment in the mud pies, which they will
make without any instruction. That
kind of play may not be good for the
clothes, but it never injured health.
The Bank Superintendent of New
York makes, what the Boston Culti¬
vator esteems, an excellent reeom
mendatiou for the purpose of making
the banks of that State safe for their
depositors. It is that banks which

the bank to maintain a surplus of

of all the banks under his charge.
In reporting to the State Depart
m*nt at Washington upon the pros¬
pects of enlarging the American wheat
trade, the United States Consul at
Hong Kong, China, says that little can
be done at that place, as the Chinese
use the cheaper rice in preference to
flour. He believes, however, that the
opening to trade of new districts in
the Y'ellow River region and the re¬
duction of duties at Canton will result
in some increase. The Consul at New
?astle-on-Tyne, England, has no sug¬
gestions to offer, there being no duty
on wheat or flour and no obstacle to
the extension of trade, which is very
important and long established. The
sources of supply are well known to
dealers in Great Britain, and the osly
questions they consider are quality
and cost of delivery. The Consul at
Liege. Belgium, suggests the forma¬
tion of agencies in cities of over 109,
000 inhabitants to push the trade.
The Belgian millers all admit the
superiority of American grain, and
but for its higher price it would con¬
trol the market. As it is, although no*
effort has been made, the trade has
increased in the last five years at the
rate of ten per cent, per annum. The
| ^ on5Ul at Alatanzas, Cuba, reports

GEORGIA IN BRIEF.
NEW SY ITEMS GATHERED HERE
AND THERE OVER THE STATE
And Condensed Into Pithy and Inter¬
esting Paragraphs.
The governor hap appointed John G.
Hale to be solicitor of the county court
of Dade county.
* * *
Mr. S. T Fleming, of Bowersville,
recently killed a hen that performed
the rare feat of laying three eggs in
one day.
Mr. A_ J. Lewis, who lives near Ar¬
lington, has an old gander that will
celebrate his fortieth birthday some
time in May.
The International and Cotton States
exposition company has been fully or¬
ganized and the work from now on
will be pushed with even greater vigor
than it has been in the past.
The commissions of the captain and
lieutenants of the Macon Volunteers
have been issued. The three officers
are Captain Charles Q. Carnes, Fust
Lieutenant James P. Stevens and Sec¬
ond Lieutenant Sam B. Hunter.
The governor has named the Green¬
ville Banking company, of Greenville,
to be the state depository for Meri
wether county, the last legislature
having decided to put a depository at
that city. The bank has made a req¬
uisite $50,000 bond.
In the case of J. A. Couper, inter
venor, against the receivership of the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad,
et al., an order was taken confirming
the report of the special master
awarding $4,000 in damages to the in
tervenor.
The Fidelity Life and Accident In¬
surance Company, capitalized at $200,
000, has 3>een organized at Atlanta,
and a majority of the stock will be
owned by Atlautians. This new en¬
terprise, coming, as it does, upon the
heels of the exposition movement,
shows that the old Atlanta spirit is
still alive and active.
On motion of counsel for the de¬
fendant in the case of W. H. Dyer
against the receivership of the Georgia
Pacific Railroad company has been re¬
moved from the superior court of
Carroll county to the federal court.
The cause of removal is local prejudice
and influence and inability to secure
justice in the home court.

Commissioner Bradwell lias coin
pleted the work of sending to the
school authorities of the different
counties in the state the first quarter’s
payment for the teachers. Every
county has been settled with except
three or four, where there was some
irregularity in the papers, which have
been returned for technical correction.
The monthly report of Revenue
Agent W. H. Chapman has just been
campiled. The report shows that in
the district of Georgia during the
month of March, 1894, forty distiller¬
ies were captured and destroyed, 940
gallons of spirits seized, 18,675 gallons
of beer taken and forty-three arrests of
illicit distillers made. The report
shows also that a large number of fer¬
menters, horses, wagons, pistols and
rifles were seized.
Governor Northen has issued his
proclamation offering two rewards in
tke following cases: On the 15th of
March in^ Sumter_^r lu L b
Rogers was broken into
and its contents all carried off Ly some
unknown person or persons. The gov
ernor offers $50 for the arrest with
proof to convict of the burglars. On
the 10th of March in Houston county,
Lucius Brown was killed by Bristol
Gaines. Gaines lias escaped and the
governor offers a reward of $150 for
ins arrest and delivery to the sheriff of
Houston county.
The Christian Endeavor convention
which meets in Atlanta will be an in¬
teresting assembly, and a large amount
of important business will be transact¬
ed. The meetings will be held at the
First Ghristian church. Dr. C. P.
Williamson, the pastor of this church,
wlio is the chairman of the convention,
is an excellent presiding officer. The
convention will be in session for three
days, and a number of interesting
speeches will be delivered. Among
those whose who will make addresses
during the convention are Rev. F. W.
McAuley, of the Ohio State Union;
Rev. W. B. Jennings, of Macon, Ga.;
Rev. M. A. Matthews, of Dalton. Ga.,
and Rev. Wallace Sharp, of Augusta,
Ga.
Several men of wealth and influence
have been prospecting recently in
Cherokee county, and some deals have
been made that will lead others,
and, it is hoped, the early develop¬
ment of the resources of the section,
which is so rich in gold, iron, mica,
etc. Some important gold deals are
reported to have been made by Mr. T.
X. Hillman, who is vice president of
the Tennessee Coal and lion compenv,
and Dr, Nabors, o. Birmingham. Ala..
both of rrhom are ye.thy themselves
and represent unlimited capital for in
vestment. Mr. C. H. Foote, of the
Chicago Steel works, was also on hand
representing himself and a party o,
t hicago capitalists-, examining e
gol4 fields of the section with a view of
investment and development.
The biggest failure Athens has ever
known, and Georgia has not had a
larger one in many years, was that of
Mr. Rufe Reeves. Mr. Reeves name
has always been synonomous with sue
cess. Seeing that his assets could not
equal his liabilities, he mortgaged ev
erything and he had in favor of his credi
tors left himself not a cent. To
him, more than any one else, does the
sympathy of the entire community go
out. The mortgages covering proper
tv in Clarke countv amount to $108,-
621. A general mortgage on the Fon
tenoy farm and stock in Greene coun
tv, given to the National bank, Ex
change bank and University bank, of
Athene, and a number of smaller cred-
iters, amounts to $60,000. There are
other mortgagep on property in Ogle¬
thorpe and Oconee counties. The lia¬
bilities will be about $300,000, with
assets nominally $200,000, valuation
considered high.
Joseph E. Brown.
A few days ago Eon. Joseph E.
Brown, ex-governor, ex-chief justice
and ex-United States senator of Geor
gia, celebrated his aeventy-third anni
versary. Jt is needless to sav that, at
the home of the distinguished states
man in Atlanta, the day was one of
rejoicing in the large and loving family
circle that gathered about him. But
that rejoicing w as not confined to those
nearest and dearest to the illustrious
Georgian. It extended throughout the
multitude of his fellow-citizens,who in
years and past testified their approval of
confidence in him by repeatedly
elevating him to the highest offices
within their gift. Few citizens of any
state have risen 60 high, accomplished
so much, and been so richly honored
by %
the people as Joseph E. Brown,
Though of his own volition he has re
tired to the privacy of unofficial life,
he has not been forgotten by the peo
ple of his state, and his wisdom and
counael are still often drawn upon. In
these declining years, the sympathy of
the people goes out to him in the
physical affliction which has befallen
LAID TO REST.
REMAINS OF SENATOR VANCE
BURIED AT ASHEVILLE.
Thousands Pay Homage to the Dead
Statesman.
At the hour of noon Wednesday the
remains of the late Senator Zebulon
B. Vance were deposited in their rest¬
ing place at Asheville, N. C., over¬
looking the beautiful French Broad
river—a fitting spot for the last repose
of this great man. The funeral train
arrived just after dawn, from Raleigh,
with committees of both houses of con¬
gress, the governor and other officers
of state, aud three cars of distinguish¬
ed friends of the dead senator.
Notwithstanding the late hour at
which the train passed Hickory, Mor
ganton and other stations, large crowds
pressed into the funeral car and de¬
manded to see the remains. The dem¬
onstration in Asheville was the great¬
est of the occasion. The body was
placed in the First Presbyterian church
at 8 o’clock, and from that hour until
11 :30, thousands of people from his
native county of Buncombe passed to
take a lastTook.
An immense crowd of confederate
veterans, followed by the different
fraternal organizations, the Asheville
Light Infantry and the Bingham
sehool cadets, filed by. Mrs. A r anee

REORGANIZING THE MILITARY.
Governor Tillman Wants Men Who
Will Obey Him.
A Columbia, S. C. special says:
Governor Tillman has begun to dismiss
from the military service of the state
those companies which failed to re¬
spond to his rail during the Darlington
trouble. He has written a letter to the
captain of one of the companies whiefcj

Strike on the Great Northern.
“Stop work Friday, April 13th, at
12 o’clock. Do not go to work again
until the restoration of the old rate of
wages paid August 1, 1893.” This
message was sent to every station on
the Great Northern railroad from La
moure, N. D., to Spokane, Wash. It
was win, signed by I. Hogan and Roy Good¬
committee of the American Rail¬
way Union. The effect has been to
pretty effectually tie up the line at He¬
lena, Great Falls and Spokane.
Taxing the Fullmans.
The Pullman Palace Car Company,
of Chicago, filed a bill of equity be¬
fore Judge Williams in the United
States court to restrain the sheriff and
tax collectors in forty-nine counties of
the state from collecting taxes on the
property of the Pullman Palace Car
Company in Arkansas under the pro¬
visions of the act passed by the last
legislature. Restraining orders were
issued in each case.

A special from Tampa, Fla., says:
The United States government has be¬

Louisiana) lottery company in earnest.
Since the establishment of the Graham
printery, at Port Tampa City, and a
steamer put on between that port and
the Honduras end of the old Louisiana
lottery business, the lottery company
has kept aboard of this vessel a lot of

THE 1U LE PASSED
AND MEMBERS PRESENT AND
NOT VOTING TO BE COUNTED.
The Adoption of the New Plan by a
Vote of 212 to 47.
The house, by » vote of 212 to 47,
adopted the rule submitted by the
committee for counting a quorum, at
Tuesday’s session. The forty-seven
votes represent, democrats who have
not forgotten the scenes or their posi¬
tions in the fifty-first congress, when
Tom Reed held the reins. The scenes
attendant upon the adoption of the
rule were interesting and spirited.
The republicans gave the committee
on rules all the assistance possible. In
the fifteen minutes allowed them for
discussion, Mr. Reed only reserved
three for himself and contented him¬
self almost solely with the state
ment: “I congratulate the fifty
third congress for its vinuica
cation of the fifty-first.” Mr. Reed
also gave three minutes each to Buck
Kilgore, Amos Cummings and Ben
Russell, of Georgia. All three at¬
tacked the rule. Ben Russell attacked
it as revolutionary and a return to czar
rule. He also declared his belief that
the rule was unconstitutional and that
oftentimes it was the highest duty of a
representative to decline to vote if he
could thereby prevent vicious legisla¬
tion being saddled on liis constituents.
He spoke with great earnestness, and
added to his roputattou as a forceful
speaker. The democrats who spoke in
favor of the rule were warmly ap¬
plauded by the republicans. There
were a number of voteR cast for the
rule under protest on the democratic
side.
7,000 MINERS OUT.
The Strike in Alabama Growing Very
Serious.
Monday’s developments in the miners’
strike in Alabama-show that every mine
in the Birmingham district except those
at Warrior and in Tuscaloosa and Walk¬
er county, is shut down. Fully 7,000
men are out. No attempt has been made
to put in negro labor at the Blue Creek
mines, where trouble is threatened.
Armed deputy sheriffs were on hand,
but the negroes refused to work, fear¬
ing violence from the strikers. The
strike is growing, and the situation is
becoming more serious.
THE SITUATION IN TENNESSEE.
A Knoxville special says: Janies R.
Wooldridge, of the Wooldridge Jellico
Coal company. Speaking of the gen¬
eral strike of coal miners which has
been ordered on the 21st by the United
Mine Workers of America, says that
all the miners of district No. 39, of
which the Jellico district is a portion,
have signaled their intention to strike,^ dis-*
Work has been.yer^TighHir tfce
the past season, and the indica¬
tions are that they will not be able to
hold out long without assistance, but
it is more than likely that the strike
will remain on until August 1st. The
Jellico district is now paying the high¬
est prices in the United States, and
any result will necessarily be beneficial
to the operators.
A convention of the operators and
miners of the district has lieen called
to meet at Jellico on the 26th to con¬
sider a new contract. The supply of
coal for the southern states will not be
entirely cut off, as the Tennessee, Coal
Iron and Railroad Company have
about 2,000 convicts digging for them
in Alabama and Teuuessee. Unless
the organized men use violent meth¬
ods to close these mines, the strike
will prove a bonanza to the lessees
of convicts, as it will be the only com¬
pany in the United States to operate
its mines.
DAVID DUDLEY FIELD DEAD.
He Was a Distinguished Author and
Jurist.
David Dudley Field died suddenly
at his home in New York of pneu¬
monia. He was born in Hadden,
Conn., February 13, 1805, and was the
eldest of four Ijrothers—Henry M.,
Cyrus W. and Stephen being the other
three—all of whom have achieved dis¬
tinction. David was graduated from
Williams college in 1825, and was ad¬
mitted to the bar in New Y’ork city in
1828. He early became prominent,
and, after eleven years’ practice, wrote
a letter on “The Reform of the Judi¬
ciary System,” which he followed up
later with a pamphlet on the same line.
The result of this agitation was that
the constitutional convention of 1846
recommended a general code and a re¬
form of the practice on the line of his
suggestions.
In 1866, Mr. Field undertook the
prepation of an international code,
which he presented to the social
science congress after seven years’
work. This work attracted the atten¬
tion of the jurists of the world, and
was translated into several tongues.
Mr. Field was originally a democrat, un¬
til the nomination of Fremont in 1856,
when he supported that ticket. Dur¬
ing 1876 he served two months in con¬
gress, fling the unexpired term of
Smith ’,i From that time on be act
ed with the democrats, and was on
that side in the Hayes-Tilden contest.
Mr. Field has published a number of
works of high literary value besides
his great lawbooks, on which however,
his fame chiefly rests. He has lived
for several years at 22 Gramercy park,
enjoying remarkable health and vigor
up to the time of his death.
