People who are superstitious will say; “I told you so.” They always knew Friday was an unlucky day. The Austin Statesman said that Mr. Roger Q. Mills would be a candidate for governor of Texas, but Mr. Mills says he will not He was a conspicuous figure in the last congress, and congressional life has doubtless become more attractive than ever to him. _____ Ex-Senator Kellogg says he has requested Judge Taylor Beatty to make the race on the republican side for congress in the late Mr. Gay’s district in Louisiana, Mr. Kel logg’s request will be complied with, proba bly, provided he agrees to furnish the neces sary cash. The Springfield (Mass.) Union says: “If the Democratic party wants to let Grover Cleveland boss it and run for President in 1892, the republicans are perfectly w illing.” If the Democratic party wants to nominate Mr. Cleveland again, it will do so without asking the permission of republicans. Gov. Hill’s remark, in a recent speech, that “all change is not reform,” has made the republican organs angry. They seem to think that the governor intended it as a hit at the Republican party, and perhaps they are right. The change from Cleve land to Harrison, for instance, was not in the direction of reform. The Wilmington (N. C.) Star says that “the Georgia doctors are getting ready for the melon crop, which will be marketed with more pains than usual this season.” This is very good. It is so good, in fact, that if the first melon of the season should be sent to the editor of the Star he would deserve the consequences. If Gov. Foraker was in earnest when be said that he did not want to be a candidate again for governor of Ohio, he has a very good chance to leave the field clear to others. Several republicans are working for the republican nomination, and to get out of the race Foraker has only to decline clearly to be a candidate, and then to de clare for one of the aspirants. W ill he do this? Hon. E. Barksdale, or Mississippi, has done a very unusual' thing. He was the leading candidate for the democratic nomi nation for governor, but he withdrew be cause be believed that his candidacy would cause a deadlock in the convention. Lead ing candidates have frequently withdrawn after a deadlock had been brought about, but this is one of the first instances of a candidate withdrawing jprior to the conven tion in order to insure a prompt nomina tion. Members of the Young Men’s Christian Association will meet to-night to devise plans for the purchase of ground for a building in this city. Very great interest Bhould and doubtless will be manifested by them in the object of the meeting, for, aside from the natural interest they feel in it, they understand that public enthusiasm cannot be created in behalf of a Y. M. C. A. building unless they show that they are determined to have one. Savannah should have 6uch a building. The New York Press bewails the fact that the murder of John M. Clayton, of Arkansas, has not been avenged, A demo cratic stump speaker was murdered in the same state a good many years ago Just after ho had reached home from a speaking tour. His murderer has never been hunted down; his murder has never been avenged. Seem ingly the Press has forgotten this. It chooses to remember those things only which it thinks can be used against the Democratic party. That is the chief reason, probably, why its editor was appointed su perintendent of the census. Disasters by Flood. DcuLtaare expressed that the Conemaugb lake dam was as substantial as it appeared to be. it set-ms that within the last few years it had been greatly enlarged, and this change in it probably weakened it. Public sentiment will demand an investiga tion of it for the purpose of discovering, if possible, whether it was as free from de fects as those responsible for it claim that it was. If it was weak, and was known to be so by those who owned the lake, the pro bability is that there will be some big damage suits in connection with it It is difficult to understand why the people of the Conemaugh valley should have per mitted the dam to remain after it bad ceased to serve any useful purpose. They were not benefited by it On the contrary, it was a constant source of danger to them. Many times they had been alarmed by reports that it had broken. When they were warned on Friday that it bad given way they did not heed the warring because they thought it was another false alarm. The dam served no other purpose than to make a fishing pond for a number of wealthy Pittsburg gentlemen. In order that tbeir love of sport might be gratified, a section of country containing a population of •40,000 or 50,000 and many millions of and 1- lars worth of property, was kept in constant danger. It cannot bo said that there was entire confidence that the dam would resist any strain likely to be put upon it, because whenever there was a freshet, the people of tho val ley were anxious about it. Since the people did not depend upon the dam for water, or for power to drive the machinery of their factories and mills, it is strange that they did not have it removed. Of course they now see what they ought to bavo done. Probably the course dictated by common sense was plain to them long lief ore the disaster, and that they delayed taking any action because what was every body’s business was nobody’s business. What a fearful price their delay cost them 1 There have been greater disasters from broken dikes than that of Conemagh, but it is doubtful if modern history furnishes an instance of so groat a loss of life in so short a time from a broken dam. When the dikes at Dort, in Holland, broke in 1440, as many as 100,000 lives were lost and seventy two villages ware destroyed, but the wor k of destruction was not so quickly accom plished as at Coneinaugh. In China, lost year, when the Yellow river left its banks, a great region of country was inundated, and nearly 20,000 lives were lost. All were not lost in an hour or two, however, nor in a week or t wo. The deaths were distributed throughout the entire summer. A little more than a century ago floods in Spain caused the death of over 2,000 persons, and in 1813 n rise in the Danube drownod 2,000 Turkish soldiers. There were memorable floods in France in 1840 and 1840, bv which nearly 1,000 people lost their lives, and when the Vistula broke its banks in 1829, more than 1,000 human lives were de stroyed. In Europe and this country dams of res ervoirs have broken and destroyed many lives and immense amounts of property, the most notable of which are the following: The bank of the reservoir at Lorca, Spain, broke in 1829 and 1,000 persons were drowned; a break in the embankment of the Ilradfleld reservoir at Sheffield, England, in 1864, caused the death of 250 per sons; the Haydenvillo, Mass., reservoir burst iu 1874 and destroyed that village sud 140 persons; the Lynch-Brook reservoir, near Worcester, Mass., broke through its banks in 1876 and one life was lost; the break ing of the Huron mill dam at Houghton, Micb., in 1884, cost 6 lives, and the breaking of the East Lee dam in Massachusetts, iu 1886, cost 9 liveß. A glance at the foregoing list shows that there have been very few greater disasters by flood than that of Conemaugh, and none equal to it in the shortness of the time in which so many thousands of human beiugs were destroyed, or iu tho terribleness of its scenes of horror, which were the result of fire as well as water. The Woolfolk Case. It is to bo hoped that the Woolfolk case will bo finally settled by the trial that is now in progress in Perry, Ga. The public is familiar with tho main features of it. Woolfolk, it will be remembered, is charged with having murdered his father and mother, his t|ro brothers, four of his sisters, and Mrs. W est, a womau 84 years old—in all nine persons —in 1887, in Bibb county. He was tried and found guilty in December, 1887, the jury being out only fifteen min utes. A motion for a uew trial was denied, but anew trial was granted by the supreme court. In March, 1888, the case was again called for trial, but was postponed. When, shortly afterward, it was called for trial, a change of venue was granted on the ground that a fair trial could not be had in Bibb county. The crime was one of the most atrocious ever committed an this or any other state. The only one in this state of late years which can begin to approach it in atrocity is the murder of two white women in Bald win county by a male relative, who was tried and hung. It is impossible to imagine a more diabolical deed than that with which Woolfolk is charged. The evidence against Woolfolk is wholly circumstantial, but it is very strong. Of course, he asserts that he is iunoceut, and it is alleged that he will try to fasten the crime upon a Degro man who is now serv ing a term in the Alabama penitentiary, and who is said to have threatened to kill the Woolfolk family because of a small sum of money that was due him by one member of it. The people of Perry seem to be compara tively free from prejudice iu the case, and doubtless Woolf.dk will have a fair trial. A short while ago a hot-headed Montana republican wrote the President a letter in which he bluntly informed him that Mon tana was lost to the republicaus by Russell Harrison’s acts. Now a prominent New York republican, whose name is no’ given, is said to have written to him in part as fol lows: “Very few of your friends have the courage to tall you the plain truth as I am doing. You are pleasing no one, and h ive made republican success in this state well nigh impossible in the future. The party is demoralized and discouraged.” This repub lican has made at least one mistake— we have the President’s word for it that he is pleasing himself. "Whether Mr. John V. Haslam, of St. Louis, still believes in Mr. Cleveland's luck i as a politician or not, he seems to believe in it as a fisherman. He has made two fishing rods. They are of especially adapted So .! , American wood, and have been placed iu a plush cose and forwarded to Mr. Cleveland. One of them is intended for Mrs. Cleveland, who is evidently expected to assist the ex fresitleat in catching fish. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1889. The Haytian Trouble. 'fhe latest news from Hayti justifies the conclusion that the war in that island is over, and that there will soon be peere in all parts of it It is not known where Gen. Legitime is. but It is not believed that he has yet left Port au Prince, the capital. If he has not the chances are that he soon will. The war b-gan nearly a year ago. Presi dent Salomon left Havti August 10, 1888, with all the money he could collect His rule had been a long but not very satisfac tory one. All parties in Hayti had reached the conclusion that it was time for him to go, and go quickly. Gen. Tnelemaque, with 10,000, soldiers was at the gates of Port au Prince and President Salomon had no choice. He yielded to necessity. Immediately after his departure prepara tions were made for an election of a presi dent. Gen. Thelemaque and Gen. Legitime were the candidates. In the meantime an election for representatives to a constitu tional assembly was held. Before the election for president came off a riot broke out in Port au Priuce between Gen. Tbele maque’s followers and those of Gen. Leg itime. Thelemaque was tho candidate of the north and Legitime of the south. The former was killed during the riot by a shot from a Gatling gun. The north said that their leader had been assassinated. Legitime at once prepared to make him self president. He called together the rep resentatives of tho constitutional assembly and had himself elected president. The most of these representatives who were pres ent were from the south, and hence favored Legitime. The north refused to accept Legitime as president, and began operations to drive him from power. It found an able general in Ilippolyte, and money was soon provided to purchase arms and amunition. It seems that the north, under Gem Hip nolyte, has triumphed. It is saiil, however, that Hippolyto does not want to be presi dent. He is a coal black nogro of about 55 years of age, and possesses ability much above the average. Candidates for presi dent will not be wanting, however, and as tho people have had enough fighting for a while, it is not improbable that a president will be elected without a great deal of trouble. The Richmond Prophet. About everybody has heard of the Rev. John Jasper, of Richmond, Va. The Rev. Jasper is the colored preacher who a few years ago made a reputation for wisdom among the colored people by the assertion that the “sun do move,” his idea being that the sun goes round the earth daily. The Rev. Jasper now poses as a prophet. It is asserted in dispatches from Richmond that,two weeks ago last Sunday,he preached a sermon on storms, floods and the loss of life by those agencies, in which he declared that on Friday, May 31, a great disaster would occur. It is said that he based his prophecy on a dream. It is alloged that a good many prominent people of Richmond heard their colored servants talking about the Rev. Jasper’s prophecy prior to May 31, and tho colored people of that city looked forward to that day with a good deal of apprehension. The Rev. Jasper is a great man among the Richmond colored people. They be lieve that he has some gift which enables him to look into the future. They mention several of his prophecies which they say have come true. The probabilities are, however, that the Rev. Jasper talked in a general way about, storms and floods, and the dangers to be apprehended from them, and that when the Conemaugh disaster occurred they jumped to the conclusion that he predicted it. Doubtless there are hundreds of colored people in Richmond who aro firmly con vinced that he mentioned May 31 as the day when there would be a great loss of life from storms and floods. It is rather curious that the remarkable prophecies and miraculous occurrences which are narrated in the public prints, or which are circulated in other ways, do not bear investigation. They are generally found to have originated in fertile imagina tions, or have such slight foundation in fact as to take them out of the realm of the supernatural. For some time the New York World has published an occasional letter from Wilkes county, Georgia. While there are some in teresting points about the letters, there are also some very misleading ones. The World's correspondent is probably a northern man who hasn’t been long in the south. He doesn’t understand the southern people, white or black, and this fact leads him into some ridiculous statements. He makes his assertions, however, with the assurance of one who has lived in the south all of his life, and who has given years of study to southern matters. There aro probably a great many northern people who, knowing next to nothing about tho south, are firmly convinced that they know all that can be learned. Ex-Minister McLane corroborates previous statements when he says that the American exhibit at Paris is not what it should be. He states, however, that there are many things iu it which are attracting a great deal of attention. For example, Mr. Edi son’s electrical exhibit is inspected by nearly everybody, and is considered not only the greatest of its kind there, but the most curious and wonderful thing on exhibition. Americau art makes a highly creditable show, he says, and the finer class of jewelry exhibited by Americans compares favorably with that of any European house. Ex-Miui-.ter MoLaue, who arrived home the other day, after having creditably rep resented this country as minister to France, expresses some interesting views concerning political matters iu that country. He says that the purity of the ballot and tho inde pendence of electors are more highly es teemed and more jealously guarded than in the United States, and that howover im pressionable the French voter may be he is independent und incorruptible, and nobody would dare to attempt to bribe him. He says also that most of the French people are devoted to republican institutions. The law forbidding the sale of spirituous liquors and of cigars, cigarettes, or tobacco in any other form, to minors under 16 years of age, and prohibiting the gift of these things to them, has gone into effect in. Now York. It is thought that there is no way to evade it. The law was intended chiefly as a check upon the cigarette evil, and its results will be awaited with a good deal of interest. If it checks that evil in New York other states will follow New York’s example. President Harrison has removed another colored person who has served a long time at the white house. The name of the un fortunate individnal is Arthur Simmons. He was porter of the private secretary’s room, it is said, for twenty years. CURRENT COMMENT. As Bad as Voudooiaca. From the Birmingham Age-Herald (.Dem). The “Christian science craz“." which has pre vailed in some portions of the north and north west, is in no wise intellectual; v superior to the southern negroes’ voudoo, when the question of reason on both sides is considered. Not a Complimentary Opinion. From the Xashville American (Dem.) The old northern scalawags and carpet bag gers who came south after the war to be gov ernors and congressmen and legis!ators,aud hold other positions which furnished good opportu nities for grand larceny, were generally a great deal worse than the meanest negro in the south. Two Necessary Conditions. St Louis Post-Dispatch {Dem.) An otTKn finds precedent and sanction for nepotisni in i’resident Adams' appointment of bis own son as minister to Beriin by the advice of Washidgtou. When a President has such a relative as John Quincy Adams was, and that relative can get tue original anti only George Washington to recommend his appointment, it can be made without a word of protest. But in that precise form only will toe people of this country regard nepotism with favor. His Memory Will Be Revered. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) The Conemaugh valley, too, had its Paul Revere; but, alas; the flood wa swifter than his horse, and both rider and steed were caught and engulfed while flying on to warn the people of their danger. Not even tho name of this dead hero is known, but his memory wiii none the less be held in grateful remembrance. BRIGHT BITS. Cowboy—Say, you! Do you run this engines Locomotive Engineer—Yes.

PERSONAL. John Ericsson is actually to have a monu ment in Centra! park. New York. But the money—sl2,ooo—was appropriated by the state legislature. Proe. G.irside, late of the Johns Hopkins university, who hai been engaged in the social istic propaganda some time, is said to have gone over, bag and baggage, to the anarchists. Hon. William C. Endicott, ex-Secretary of War, and Sigourney Miller, ex-comptroller of the treasury, have formed a partnership for the practice of law and will open an office in Bos ton. President Carnot of France is strongly in favor of capital punishment. He is a greater believer in it than was M. Grevy and the guillo tine is much more active in Paris than it was some years ago. Prof. Blackie said in a lecture recently de livered in London that a century ago was a time of miserable humbug. He thinks that much of the literature of that time is preten tious. but hollow and false. A correspondent says that M. Ferry is aging rapidly. His baptismal certificate would not carry him quite up to 6t>, but his carriage, his bent head, and ids stooping figure give the lie to tho official date of his birth. William Roane Ruffin, a great grandson of Thomas Jefferson. d.ed last Monday in Chester field county, Ya. He was for many years rector of the board of visitors of the University of Virginia, of which his great ancestor was the founder and chief patron. The study of Gustave Eiffel, engineer and architect of the big tower ot Paris, is a regular curiosity shop. In it are to be seen any num ber of queer inventions and outlandish re.ics. He has a Buddhist shrine that is over 500 years old, and a sixteenth century figure of St. John. Dn. Oliver Wendell Holmes in a note on the occasion of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe s birthdar celebration said to her daughter: “As for your mother's age, 1 am bound to believe her own story, but 1 can only say that to be 70 years young is something more cheerful and hopeful than to be 40 years old.” Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, the great Baptist min ister of England, lives on a magnificent estate, having yarns varied with lakes aud streams and adorned with statuary and conservatories filled with rare plants. His stables are as fine ill arrangements and appointments as the royai establishment at Windsor, and his coachman sports a gorgeous livery. Queen Victoria recently squelched an En glish womau of very high rank who applied for permission to a drawing-room It seems that the applicant contracted a s cond marriage several years ago and for this ragson has been religiously shun ied oy court circles. Victoria went into a passion on the receipt of her ap plication and rouudly denounced her ’’imperti nence and audacity. Mrs. Josephine Baxter, who died recently at Pomona. Cal., had an unusually varied mat rimonial experience. She had no less than six husbands in thirty years, aud lost them all by death except one. Her first husband was a teacher, the second a pork packer, the third a lieutenant in the regular army, the fourth a preacher, the fifth a sugar planter, and the sixth a lawyer, who survives her. Cardinal Manning, who recently sang the praises of John Wesley in an address in London, is the most popular catholic clergyman iu Eng land. He is highly democratic iu his notions and expresses them freely. The cardinal is fit to rank beside the Grand Old Man in point of robust, intellect and good physical condition at 80. The secret of his green old age is temper ance. At the Royal academy dinner the other evening lie ate a crust of bread and drank a glass of water, while the other social, literary, political and artistic magnates went through the twenty courses and the dozen wines. Bekcham’s Bills act like magic on a weak stomach. Love's Bondage Lifted. From the Xew York Tribune. They bad been engaged a week. Together they had been to see "Little Lord Fiuntleroy,” I and wer- returning to Brooklyn on a bridge j train. When the train stopped Angelina got up ! and walked to tae front of the car, thinking that Algernon was close behind. Algernon I walked to the rear door, thinking that Angelina j was tripping along at his elbow. Two blank j faces, a hasty search and a meeting on the plat- ; "I thought, Algernon, that of course you would follow me." "And I thought. Angelina, that of course you would follow me.” Both fell to meditating as they walked down the passage way and took a Kings county ele vated tram. When Vanderbilt avenue was passed Angelina at last broke the silence. "Perhaps— Algernon— we— we might- - not— agree. Don't you toink you had better take it back ?” and she pulled a dainty little ring from her finger. Algernon hesitated. The train began to slacken speed for Franklin avenue. Then he took the ring in an absent-ininde 1 way as they both arose. "It's so much better,” Angelina added softly, "that we should find out in time, ' and they disappeared through the door. A L’Empire. From the Century. Rosina. they say. is but seventeen. Yet she crushed at a blow all the fops of the town The very first time she appeared on the scene In something sue calls a Directory gown. It is cut in the picturesque fashion of old. With a limp, clinging skirt, and the scantiest waist. And wandering oyer its soft silken fold Are garlands of roses eucoautingiy traced. Th-y have faded, perhaps, since the wonderful night When grandmamma danced at the emperor's ball- A dimpled young beauty who laughed with delight To hear herself whispered the fairest of all, And fingered her pink-flowered frock as she stepped Through gigue and gavotte with a gay cava lier, Whose passionate vows, never meant to be kept. Foil now and again on her innocent ear. There's a tiny spot still on the ancient brocade, Where the posy sue gave him had lain at her breast, And there at one side, where the satin is frayed. The thick-jeweled hilt of his sword may have pressed. But the prince—ah! Rosina, revenge is so sweet, That for grandmamma's sake, I am glad you look down With scorn at the dandies who sigh at your feet Whenever you wear that Directory gown! Two Kinds of Kisses. From the St. Louis Republic. “Did you ever notice, my dear boy, what a very radical difference there is iu women in the matter of kissing?” said De Lancey Smith to The Man About Town the other evening. The latter admitted that though he had given the subject more or less very earnest attention, he was Dot prepared to handle it from a phiiosopnical standooint. “Well, I suppose not," said De Lancey, “and yet, any young man of enterprise with a speculative turn of mind ought to have noted the fact I speak of, and learned to t ike advantage of it. Tne subject was brought to mind by a recent experience with a young lady— or—a relative, of course. She is one of these petite girls, don’t you know, that are so enticing, with a small, warm mouth, and full, red lips. And when she kisses a man she wears the shyest, most reluctant air in the world until just at the supreme moment when she seems to lose control of herself, and with a. lirtlo bit of a sigh and a flutter of the eye lids, sba kisses a fellow squarely on the—er— right place, ad then somehow makes her escape. 'Now.'’said De Lancey, waxing slightly enthusiastic, "there is a kiss that tingles through every nerve in the body like an electric shock and a fellow wouldn't part with the memory of it for a fortune. But there is another sort of girl who is different. She may be as prettv as you like, but hef kisses are stale, 'flat and unprofitable. Her lips are thin and cool, and they touch yours with a cool, unemotional pressure that is positively ghastly and leaves a man feeling as though he had had a bad dream. One such kiss will do more to destroy a man's il lusions than to be twice jilted. Then there is the girl who flutters up under your arm and says: “Oh! but you really mustn't.’ and then ki-ses you liorself. as a bird pecks at a cherry, with another hysterical giggle, and then tremblingly waits for you to do it again. There isn’t much satisfaction ia that kind of a kiss, and it betrays .1 shadow and vapid mind. The kiss first mentioned is the work of a warm hearted, impulsive, womanly woman, who would make a good and true wife and mother; the second betrays the cold-blooded,calculating! unemotional woman, whom the average mail would do well to fight shy of. And there are lots of other kisses, each fully expressive in their way. There’s a good deal in a kiss, mv boy.” It Was a Real Touching Sermon* From the Chicnoo Tribune. Scene: A fashionable boudoir. Alice—O, mother, we have had such a beau tiful sermon; Eva—Lovely! Kate—Most eloquent! Mother—l am the more sorry that this swollen face has kept me away from church. Who was the preacher? Alice—A stranger. The verger could not tell us his name. Eva—But a most striking looking man. Kate—And his voice was heavenly. Alice—And weshall never forget what he said. Mother—What was his text? Eva—His text! Let me see. Alice, where was his text? Alice—l—l think it was from St. Luke. Kate—O, Alice! How can you say so? Why, it was from Deuteronomy. Alice- That lam sure it was not. Why, he kept talking of the evangelist. Mother—Perhaps, my dears, if you told me the words I should know the place. Alice—l never could remember words, Eva—Nor I. Kate—They don't think anything of mere verbal repetition at the high school. Mother—But i should like to glean some in formation of this beautiful sermon. What was it about? Alice (after a pause)—Well, mother, it was about—it was about—religion. Mother—l presume so; but that is ratherja wide subject, and capable of varied treat ment. What particular branch of it did he take up? Eva—O, mother! his action was so graceful— not too violent, you know, but just sufficent to enforce attention. .Mother—And, as it was sufficient to enforce attention, I am w aiting to hear a few particu lars of what he said. Alice—There were some striking anecdotes. Kate—Yes; that one about the bear, for in stance. A Laplander was once pursuing a bear Eva—Now, Kate. The bear was pursuing him. Kate—Well, it was one way or the other. And the Laplander had a Bible in his breast pocket which his mother had given him. Eva—No; his grandmother. Alice—lt was not a Laplander at all. You are confusing it with another anecdote. It was a young English sailor. Kate—Well. Laplander or English sailor, or whatever he was, he was just close to the bear when—— Eva—You are leaving out the best part of the story. Before he started his grandmother had said to him Kate—Ah, yes; but, if you remember, he had first said to his grandmother Eva—You are quite wrong. Kate—Do let me go on. At all events he and his grandmother had been talking to gether. Alice—You forget, Kate, that the grand mother was deaf and dumb. That was the touching part of the story. 80 she pointed to the Bible Kate—Nonsense, Alice. lam sure the grand mother— Mother—l am afraid, dears, you will not make much of that anecdote. But let me kn iw the inaiu drift and design of the sermon. Eva—Mother, dear, you are a little tiresome. You cannot expect us to repeat the sermon right off. It gave us a great deal of most ex cellent advice. Mother—ln reference to what? Eva -O. our conduct. I never heard one more calculated to do good. The illustrations were especially clever. Mother—As. for instance? Eva—lt would be impossible to do them justice, you see, if you separate them from the context. Mother -Well, then we will drop the illustra tions. 1 shall be satisfied with the heads of the discourse. Mice 1 don't think it had any heads. Kate—How can you say so? I am sure he spoke of coming to the last head, though I for get what it was. Eva—We met the Tidflts coming out of church, and they heartily agreed with us in our admira tion of the sermon. The pleasures of the table cease, Whene'er the teeth begin to fail; The beauties of the mouth decrease; The breath’s no more a spicy gale; And all must soon in fuin lie. Unless to SOZODGNT we fly.

A New York firm of shoemakers have just sent to the Paris exposition thirty pairs of boots and shoes, the average cost of each pair being $25. There is not a bit of leather in them that is not American and the workmanship is all American There are boo is and shoes of Ameri can calf, American patent calf, alligator skin, porpoise hide, and kangaroo. They are all handmade and are all men's shoes. One thing that the exnibit. will show is the great progress that has been made in the manufacture of American shoes and leather. An exhibition of nerve that's rarely excelled was given Tuesday by a Trenton woman. She mad a tour of the offices in the state house there, asking subscriptions for a bicvcie for her son, who is very font of bicycle riding. She said that "she could no’ very well see how she could afford to purchase one, and as her son was of noble birih he should enjoy the advant ages that more fortunate boys enjoved.” She could not induce the "stony hearted” state offi eers to put down their names, however, and she left the capitol building lamenting the fact that people generady were loth to give for a worthy purpose. The Chinese, as Is Swell known, “stand on their heads" in everything as compared with this side of the world. They read from right to left, push a saw from them, get up when other people are going to bed, and go to bed when ot her people are getting up. W here Americans and Europeans would kill their antagonists, they kill themselves. The other day two Chi nese women quarreled over a boy, and when at last’ in a frenzy, one threatened to kill herself, the other got ahead of her bv dashing out her own brains against;a wall. ' Perhaps the Chi nese wife and children murderers and suicides will r-verse the habit of the American species by killing themselves before they slaughter their families. The Archives Judaiques ot Paris, in solving the question as to the number of Jews in the world, computes the total at 6,300,000. Of this number there are no fewer than 5,400.000 in Europe, the remainder being thus apportioned: Asia, 300.000; Africa, 350,i00, and America, 2 0,000. Taking Europe, the bulk of the Jewish element is in Russia, nearly 3,000,000, and of these a large portion <768,500) are' in the old kingdom of Poland Austria has 1,614,000 Jews of whom 688,000 are in Galicia (Austrian Poland) alone. The other European countries come in the following order: Germany, 562,000; Rou mania, 263,000; Turkey, 105,000; rhe Netherlands, 82,000; France, 63.000, and Italy, 40,'00. The numbers in the Sp uiish peninsula and in Great Britain are not given. The original home of the race, Palestine, has 23,000 Jews. The pig iron product of the south in 1880 was 397,301 tons. In 1888 it was 1,132,858 tons, a gain of 190 per cent, in eight year=i. In 1887 the three stales, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, made 584,053 tons, and in ISBB they made 736,802 tons, a gain of 172,749 tons, or nearly 30 per cent. If in the next eight vears the gain per cent, of the last eight shall be maintained, the eight iron-making states of the south will pro duce about 3,500.000 tons of metal in 1896. and we believe the progress will be more rapid than ever before for the next ten or fifteen years. It is more than probable that iu the vear 1900 the south will produce no less than 7,000,000 tons, 500.000 tons more than the total product of the c ountry in 1888. The balance of the country gained 50 per cent, on its iron product in the eight years ended January. 1889. Tue coming iron empire of the world is located in the states of Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia. A Munich firm has made a carriage propelled by gas, which it generates from benzine or analogous material. The motor, which is not visible from the outside, is placed in the rear of the three-wheeled carriage over the main axle, and the benzine used iu its propulsion is carried' in a cl sed copper receptacle secured under the seat, from which it passes drop by drop to the generator. The gas mixture is ignited in a closed cylinder by means of au electric spark. After regulating the admission of the gas the motor can be started by simply turning a hand lever Power is applied by the medium of a link chain bolted to a toothed wheel on the rear axle. The speed of the motor can be increased or dimin ished at will by turning the lever backward or forward, and it can be stopped by pulling on the lever. The vehicle is steered in tne same man ner as a tricycle, by a small front w heel. It can attain a 3peed of about ten miles an hour, but in crowded it can be made to move as slowly as an ordinary vehicle. A quart of ben zine is said to bo sufficient for an hour’s trip. The Philadelphia Ledger says Mrs. L. M. Barry, general instructor and director of woman's work in the Knights of Labor, ba3 re turned to this city after a four months' tour through the south aud west in the interest of the order. She made this trip alone, her mis sion being to call meetings, awaken interest in the affairs of the organization, and to clear away misunderstanding due to the content! .ns of lactious knights prior to the Indianapolis genoral assembly Mrs. Barry left the city by direction of General Master Workman Powderly about the beginning of February, going to Richmond, Manchester. Savannah’ Birmingham, Macon, 51 ibile, Montgomery New Orleans, Houston, and Galveston, in all of which she addressed attentive aud at times enthusiastic audiences. She also visited many of the smaller cities and towns en route to the gulf, and encouraged the workingmen and women. Coming north again she stopped at Chattanooga, Louisville. Lexington, Eliza bethtown, Paducah, St. Louis, Dayton, and Cincinnati, and as far west as Leadville, Den ver and Aspen. The long journey was a tire some and inconvenient one for a woman, and the work she had to do was not entirely agree able, especially where the interest in the, order had almost died out, yet the general instructor met with a warm reception wherever sue went, and brought back with her many trophies, some of them not only valuable in themselves, but indicating the kindliest feelings for her, if not for the order. The Germania assembly of Birmingham. Ala., for instance, presented her with a solid silver block of twelve sides, five of which were set with mineral products aud the others suitably engraved. In Galveston Mrs. Barry received a gold badge, set on a coin silver wreath of leaves; iu Houston she was given a gold "lone star,” ad in New Orleans she re ceived a golden crescent, set with a ruby, a diamond, and a sapphire to represent the na tional colors. The Leadville miners, who treated Sirs. Barry with great respect, gave her a purse containing five S2O gold pieces, and the Aspen knights gave her n $lO gold piece and an Irish half sovereign. The knights of Denver gave her a magnificent seal of the order, mounted on cardinal plush, imbedded with specimens of nearly ail the minerals and valuable stones for which the Colorado tniqes and Roc.,y Mountains arc noted. In addition to all these things the gen eral inspector brought back with her many other trophies which the miners conferred upon her. These included ail sorts of trinkets of a golden, siivery. and mineral nature, to say nothing of a badge of mem oership in the organization of cowboys that distinguished itself at President Harrison's inauguration at Washington.
