O. her wise he is raising the blind as it were. At the town of Orange one of the prlnci cal republican papers in New Jersey is said to b ’Ow in au uncomfortable state of • usp n-e. Possibly it suspended because the naaieui its editor was not lively euough. Such a name as Tombs is liable to cast a dusky and dense gloom over the precarious prospects of any newspaper. Under the heading of “How mail clerks are examined" a western reporter intimates that the microscope is not con sulted in the matter. Possibly that accounts for the co stant fl mtlng through the mails of s-line of those petty partisan republican print* of Kansas and Illinois. Closer in •peoilon might improve the service. But the clerks probably hare all they can do to aearoh for lottery advertisements and think of the names of the vast army of managers of the world’s fair. Rumor softly roaming around Wash ington lndioates that the Hon. Teddy Roosevelt is now liable to get the grand and graceful party bounce almost auy pleasant afternoon. High authorities seem to think •hat the Hon. Ted is growing intolerably pestiferous in his eagemeis to alter the ar rangements this administration has made •o have Its leasehold uoo.n tbe reins of it renewed. Consequently tne powers that be are apparently somewhat inclined to hilariously and effusively kick him into the middle of the next ensuing campaign. Illinois farmers are greatly interested in the outoome of a case pending before the courts of Peoria in which a distillery ootn pany s les tbe state live stook commissioners for the value of certain cattle killed be cause th-y were alleged to be affl.cted by a disease oailed “lump-jaw.” AU seems to depend upon the decision of the mooted qurS-iou as to wuether “lump-jaw” is in fectious. As yet ouly one juror has been found who contends that it is. Snould it be decided uu nfectious the commissioners would be left without justification for kill log the cattle. Again does the always peculiar and sen sational Ela VVueeter Wilcox p.opose to •stonish tbe country. Writing to a west ern daily paper she promises to disolose her latest views upon thi always interesting subject of womankind under the heading of “Is the Modern Girl Virtuous ?’ Ju.t why the eccentric "poetess of passion” ftbould I eel called upon to q jestionthe vi tue of "the modrru girl” in that way is a problem that a large ont agent of “the m ndern girl” may cad upon ib fair Ella to explain mighty quick if she desires to avert an en thusiastic hair-pulling sociable. When two Cauadiau edi.ors were reoently arrested on a ohaige of libel at the instance of Premier Mercisr, they were serenaded and given a tore,)light procession on their way 1 1 the train, and the persecuting pre mier was loudly hissed as he passed through the streets. AU that is onirged against the arrested journalists is that they pn ited the news, whioa happened to include tbe ad nis sion of a c mtractor that he ha l bribed the pretni r a id other politicians to get a big contract in wuioh the city of M mtreal was robbed of a large sum of money. Under taking to prosecute them will probably ouly Lave the effect of Increasing tbe public con tempt a..d dislike for the corrupt premier Speakership Estimates. The estimates of the strength of the dif ferent candidates for speaker, which are being published are in eresting, but unreli able The candidates them elves are not furnishing Azures, but their suoportera are doing so. Tneir figures, however, are b&s*l upon their hope., and not upoa inf rmation which is trustworthy. It is certain tuat not many members have pledged tneir votes. That a few have (lone so there is no doubt, but they are personal friends of the candidates. Before giving pledges the members want to see for t .em eolves what tue situ ttion is, an 1 that they cannot do until they arrive iu Washington. Very few have arrived there yet. The great majority of them spent their Thanks gi lag at h -me. There will be plenty of toem in Washington to-day, however, and then the contest will bo begun in earnest. The withdrawal of Mr. Bynum has helped Mr. Mills, but it is not thought by close observers that the outlook for him is anywhere near as promising as it is for Judge Crisp. His canvas., however, is be ing conducted with considerable skill. His managers a;e trying to make it appear that upon bis su cess depends the success of the party in the national contest ncx year. They say that he is the best representative of wbat must be the great issue iu that con test, and that if elected speaker he will so shape legislation as to make tuat issue the ooly one. Congressmen, however, are not likely to be misled by representations in behalf of any candidate. Mr. Mills has a splendid recosd on the tariff, it is true, but he is not more heartily in favor of tariff reform than Judge Crisp. Butaspeaksr must have something more than a record for being in harmony with his party on vital issue*. He must be able to control and guide the House and ward off the attacks of the opposition. Mr. Mills has ability enough for any position, but he has the misfortune to be unable to control himself io cimes of excitement when cool - ness and judgment are required, and when a mistake might do his party great harm. The contest between Mr. Mills and Judge Crisp at present appears to b> pretty close, and there is a cha ice that there will be a surprise when a sottlemont of the speaker ship question is readied. peninsr a Markot for Cotton Seed Oil. Cotton seed oil is gradually but surely glid ing into public esteem aud steadily breaking down tbe erstwhile unreasoning prejudice against it by tbe sheer force of its own in herent purity a.d clear complexion. At the outset those who gave the matter any serious thought felt sure chat a general recognition of tbe real value of ootton seed oil could only , be a matter of time. According to the Pittsburg Dispatch the strong aympat by of Chicagoans for the great American bog is largely due to a realization that "all flesh is gross.” From that basis they maunge to traco a more or less distinct relationship between themselves and their porcine property which causes them to fight vigorously for his introduction into European society. But the surmise Is that they are not now quite so ready as they were to fight against the association of the hog with cot ton seed oil for the supposed reason that tbe Chicago lard industries have merged inter ests with the oil manuf toturers so as to make the refined grease business more profit able all around. Pretty soon weni'iy expect to see the mask under which the oil has heretofore been sold thrown off so as to bring it into gen eral use upon its merits for pastry oooking. For that purp *e it is really superior de spite the solemn warning of a Pennsylvania legislator who denounced it as an iniqui tous deobstruent whea he was fighting for theauti oleomargarine law. Merely through an unreasoning and groundless prejudioa people who have beau perfectly willing to pay *4 and *5 a gallon for it as salad oil have stead fastly objeoted to paying a few cents a pound for it as "shortening.” This shows that their prejudice was not founded upon any real impurity or other objectionable characteristic of the oil. Else they w.uld have detected it in using tbe oil raw on salads. If it is good enough for that it is certainly good enough to cook with. It is wholly devoid of all the impurities that frequently permeate the fatty products of animals. As the ootton orop is very large this year the output of oil will probably be com mensurably great and the people will have a ohauoe to ted Its merits and cultivate a taste for it at comparatively small cost. Usually the Detroit Free Press is a pretty level-headed print. But it has badly kerflumexed iu tbe quoted words of alleged proverbial philosophy which was probably worked off when the professional philosopher was somewhat sleepy aud writing against barrenspace. With an air of acknowledged authority be says to married men: "Don’t forget that husbands should be gen tlemen at all times and under all circum stances.” Just why husbands should per sist in being gentlemen so systematically to the utter exclusion of the wifeless is not perfectly clear. Burglars and railway offi cials are sometimes husbands. Yet to ask them to be gentlemen so persistently would be expectiug something unnatural and un reasonable. If all husbands are to be in violately gentlemen where shall we get our future coal-beavers? Surely the philoso pher would not consign them to perpetual celibacy. But possibly be doesn’t know what the word "gentle-man” means. Some people frequently use words they don’t i egm to understand. According to the statement of a New York newspaper Actress Mary Jansen has been writing a characteristically pert letter to the Louisville Courier-Journal to deny that she drank and k.cked up her nimble heels for tbe especial diversion of Hsrvard students. Suoh a denial is ooly natural “It is business.” Yale and Princeton stu dents might not like such a rumor. That would injure the prospects of tbe show. But when she impart! e.itly calls upon Col. Wat.erson’s Kentucky ohivalry to rush to her assistance she evidently doesn’t know that even the medieval knights erraut only engaged So rescue ladies iu dis reus and they were not expected to submit to such a straiu upoa credulity as the state ments of tbe pert danseuse oall for. Ladies who inspire that sort of gallantry don’t kick chunks out ef the atmosphere for tbe money there is in it. Very rarely does a presiding judge find himself so helplessly hampered iu the exer cise of his duty by the laws as to justify him Id denouncing tbe statutes of his own state, as did Judge Estill at Omaha the other day with regard to the extradition la v of Nebraska. With muoh earnestness the judge prououuced it “• disgrace to the statute books.” THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1891. G rls and Growth. Some western writer hat caught up that nauseating twaddle about the so-called “news nth” that a certain set of blatant auctioneers have attempted to establish as a sort of all’s- wneat-that-comes-to-my-mill trade mark or commercial yell, and the guileless westerner doubtless believing (hat this implies some great reformation of a previ >us c nditioa of benighted ignorance at and uninterrupted barbarous atrocities pro ceeds to describe tbe girl of the aliened ‘new south” as “not the indolent, dreamy, impasdoned creature of ante-bellum days.” This only serve; to snow that the gentle man knows no more of what he Is talking about than bis soi-disant instructors who iuven ed that wonderful mythiaal “new south” that they love so dearly to mouth upon. Southern girls as well as northern girls are pretty much as girlish now as they ever were. Some of them are still the same sort of “indolent, dreamy, impassioned crea tures” that tbe uninformed writer's theories may have depleted in the days of yora Yet' there are many who have all “tbe alert ness” that he claims Is peculiar to tbe north. That is largely a matter of temperament over which latitude has but little o mtrol. Unlike time-servers temperaments are not changed by every turn of the wheels of sortune and progress. But the gentleman is altogether mistaken about tbe alleged “ambition of the north.” It is tbe dreamy girl who makes up in real ai. bit ion what she lacks in activity. What he evidently m ans is energy. That is an error of speech peculiar to the illiterate of northern latitudes. Probably there are not 10 per cent, of the wom9n in New York who do not say 1 ‘ambition” when they really mean energy or animation. All this prevailing wonder aud growing amazement at the cultivation and sensible brightness of the southern girls is not be cause they nave not been so all through the past years in due proportion to other parts of the country. It is simply because other parts of the country have just found it out. It is largely due to the thrifty catch-penny cry of the mercenary traders who are all too eager to sell at common outcry not their own but their neighbors’ birthright for a very unpalatable mess of pottage and nim bly “bond tbe supple hinges of the kueo that thrift may coma through fawning." Nothing seems to afford these me. conary worthies more unmitigated satisfactioa than to make interest with anybody under any and all circumstances by trampling upon tbe most obenshed traditions of those who are capable of cherishing traditions and re maining loyal to a memory that is sacred aud without Saw or legitimate offense to any one. There is no such place as this vaunted “new south” except in the disordered imagi nations of those whose obtrusive commer cial insiincts over-ride every oreditable and refining sentiment that oeuturies of civili zation have ever instilled. This land is the same old smiling domain that our hardy pioneer forefathers labored so earnestly and honorably to establish. But it Is somewhat altered and advanced by tho addition of all the modern improvements of progress— just the same as may be seen in other parts of our common country. Here and there have lately been opened a few hitherto sealed stores of our abundant material wealth and we still have an almost inexhaustible supply in reserve. A Grime Not Chaoked by Law. Statistics show that in New York the law making the attempt to commit suioide a crime punishable by imprisonment m the penitentiary does not cause a decrease in the number who take their own lives. The law ras been in force about ten yenrs, aud during trat time there has been an alarm ing increase in the number of suicides. In 1881 the Humber of s lioides in New York city was 166, aud in 1890 it was 239. There was a slight decrease in the number in 1890, the number in ISB9 being 214, and in the previous year 248. It looks, how ever, as if the number this year would be much greater than in any previous year. Recorder Smyth, before whom those in dicted for attempted suicide are brought for trial, expresses the opinion that the law has no effect in deterring persons from try ing to destroy their lives. He regards such persons as insane. He believes, however, that a good many of those who attempt to drown themselves would not make the at tempt if they did not believe they would be rescued. He Is, therefore, inclined to think that a law making it an offense to rescue any one seeking death by drowning would do more to lessen tbe uumner of suicides than the law making an attempt at suicide a crime. As many as 107 persons have been indicted inNe.v York for attempted suicide within the last seven years. Nearly all of them pleaded guilty, and were set free under a suspension of sentence. There baa never been a regular trial of a person indicted under tha iaw. Recently there have been a great many offenders, and tbe question whether the law is of any bone Jt hat been the subfeot of considerable discussion. Tbe conclusion seems to 'be that It is a useless law. Some of the Massachusetts college girls ore rapturously saying that "dear old Wellesley has had a rush”—just a little one. As soon as the freshmen bad elected Miss Helen James their chairman the president of the sophomores according to custom tap ped at the door and presented a huge bunch of white fl iwers to thecl isi Upon her exit a tew of the members of tne sophomore class sod outside and w.-re serenaded. Meanwhile the majority of the ’94s had viei ed the ro mis of the absent freshmen and dressed in sheets and pillow cuses had crept silently up the stairs and crouched behind tbe serenaders. When tha music was all over the suspecting freshmen made a dive to the door from the inside. It had been partially opened to hear the sounds. At the same time all the sophomores made a dash and tried to forue their way in. Then a lively scramble ensued. Finally the sopho nores went in. Tuey were warmly welcomed by tbe fresh men. Not knowing that they destroyed their own sheets the freshies quickly tore the cloth while they wondered perhaps why the sophomores made so weak an attempt to rescue the articles. Order was finally restored with the exception of the sheets. Spoiled gowns, broken eyeglasses and tor toise hairpins aud torn sheets will soon be Notwithstai ding that the French court of appeals has fined tbe Archbishop of Alx 3,XX) francs for alleged interference with the civil authority, the French government has sent to the pope a bland note affably deolsnng that the government "has no de sire to reupe i tbe oonflict with tbe clergy." Possibly that is Intended as a gentle intima tion that tbe Vatican is not expected to make any complaint about the ruling of the Freuob court.

Baron Arthur Rothschild, a nephew of the head of the great financial nouse, is serving his twelve months in the French army as a privaia soldier. Ex-CoNQRaasMAN ’ohs F.

Young, the chief cf the Emerson institute in Washington, bears so striking a resemblance to Mr. Blaine that he .is frequently mistaken for the secretary. Gen. Rosecrans. escorted by a committee of veterans, attended a fair at the Church of the Pauliat Fathers, New York, on Monday evening and made the opening speech. It is rumored thac the Emperor of Germany has appointed King Albert of Saxony as regent of Prussia in the event of his own demise before his oldest son attains his majority. Hiram Chase, tue full-blooded Omaha Indian recently admitted to practice In the federal court in Omaha, is the first man of his race to acquire that privilege In Nebraska.

Colored Voters to Ba Corralled. From the Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.). Mr, Clarkson's committee held a sort of an •xperi nee meeting yesterday. Each member was cal ed upon to tell bow tumgs were going In bis section Ex-Gov. Pinchbeck of Louisana appears to bats been tbe star performr on this occasion. “Pinch” has a lively tongue ib ids biaok head, and not having been heard from for some time heevi lently tno.ight to make up for lost time. Tbe committee should have invited Langston, Mahone, Bryant and a few others of tbe same kind to keep “Pinch” com pany. They are all of the same stripe, and there will be no Republican party worth loosing for anywhere in the touts while tbey continue to occupy positions of leadership. Tbe colored voters tbemselves have grows weary of tne kind of men who assume to direct and control them, and who use them simply lot the pro motion of their aelfisn Interest*. • Slang that Thieves Sling. Detectives, whose daily task is to hunt for thieves, frequently fall into tbe habit of using thieves' slang In ordinary conversation. At police headquarters, says the Detroit /■ ree Press, there has been handed down from cne set of officials to another a story about Detective Shangles. long since passed away, who was Drought before a commissioner for trial on a charge of arresting a respectable man at church wltnout cause Shangles. when called upon to make bis defe se looke i bard at the complain ant, tipped a wink to tbe commissioner, and said: “Well, Mr. Commissioner, you see I was on the lay for crooks in tbe crowd at the cuurch, and I spotted this 'ere man, thinking be might be out on itw dip ” "Wbat do y< u mean by ‘out on the dip?’" the ccmmissioner i .ouired gravely. "Wanting to pick pockets, you know.” “Well, officer, go ahead, but talk plain English if you pi-ase.” "All right. Mr. Commissioner. You s?e I watc ed tnis man to make sure he didn't pull anybody's leather or ’’ "Wnat is that ?” “Beg your pardon, sir. I mean to take any body's pneketbook. The man was noting so suspicious like that I thought he was tryi ig to. worx the crowd -steal, you know—and 1 just piped him off until ” “Oh, come now, officer, use proper lan guage.” "Well. I watched him. you see, until I saw him make a dip into an old gent's Wick, and I thought sure be bad got the old duffer's super.” "Officer, this is outrageous! dell me what you mean, in language that 1 can uuders and. ' “Why, Mr. Commls.iodrr, I mean I Raw him put his band in a pocset as if he was after a watch, do ,’tyou know.” “Proceed. ” “Well, sir. I gave him the oollar—arrested him, you understand—and took him to the sta tion, but when I went through him I didn't find any watch, and so I had to turn him up," "How did you do that?” “Why, let him go.” Shangles was found guilty of the charge and remanded to patrol duty. She Greatly Admired the “Stuff.’’ An Incident occurred on a Broadway car the other day, which, while extremey embarrassing to one of the participants, savs the New York Rec rdec, was certainly amusing to the specta tors A fussy little old lady, wearing side curls and a rather antediluvian style of dress, sat, opposite a young wotna t whose well-formed figure was superbly attired in all the glorious pomposity of the modern dressmaker’s art The little old lady would look the young woman full in tho fac then her gaze would travel ud and down until her eyes finally rested on the splendid dress, where they would s -em to bo riveted for the space of a minute or so, after which she would begin the performance of scanning the young woman all over again. She had repeated this action some half a dozen times, and at each successive inspection the embarrassment of tile young woman Increased so that it seemed as if the only escape out of the dilemma was to leave the car. Just as Twenty-third street was reached the little old woman arose like a flash, beckoned to the conductor to stop the car, and, approaching the young ladv, said: "You’ll excuse me. miss, but would you mind a Yellin' me where you bought that 'ere stuff your dress is made out of? I've been admiring it very much, and I'd like to have 'nough stun' to make me a skirt of.” Tbe young woman colored highly as if she was tolling a fib and said: "I don’t remember where it was bought.” “Weil, that's too bad. You'll excuse me though, won’t you? But I did admire it so!” And then, not a whit disconcerted, the little old woman turned, walked slowly out, and left the car.

" ‘l’m sorry.’ said ho. leaving off work on the picture'and pushing bis velvet smoking cap on tho back of his Load, while he looked lazily at the bill, ‘but I cannot pay this for a few months yet.’ “ ’Why not?’ said I. ‘“Because I have a more pressing liability.’ “’More pressing than a bill of this kind?’ said I. sarcastically " 'Yes. a good deal,’ said he. ’l’m buying a pair of shoes on the installment plan, and tne second shoe is to be delivered to-day, if I can make a partial payment. The coin is here,’ said he, lapping his waistcoat pocket. “ 'All right,’ said I. ‘but just give that coin to me on account, or I'll soil you up.’ '• 'Sell vchat up?’ he drawled out. “’Why, those pictures,’said I, sweeping my arm in a comprehensive way round the studio. “ ‘These pictures? All right, my boy; go abend. If you can sail them. I’ll be much obliged to you. It's more than I can do ” With that he lighted his pipe, and went on palutiug as tran quil as a summer's day. I admired him, and asked him out to have a drop of something. “ ‘Excuse me,’ ho said, standing and regard ing bis picture with on* eye closed, but not even glancing at me. ‘I never have social re.a tions *it h my tradespeople ’ "I was faint when I got down to the street.” Wanted to Be Understood. A short, stout gentleman, completely envel oped in an OTercoat and a heavy shawl, walked through the gate at the Broad station the other evening and procee ied to the sleeping car at tached to tbe night express, says tbe Philadel pbia Press. As he entered the car ba coughed slightly, and ins.antly six or seven men frowned deeply at him. Dropping his g Ip to the floor and removing his shawl, the man dived into bis pocket, and, producing his ticket, said: “Gentlemen, we may as well have an under standing at once. Here is a ticket that I bought aud paid for. It gives me tbe right to ride as far as Pittsburg In this car, and iu this car I am going to stay. I have got a first-class cold. I know, and with It goes a loud, hoarse cough and that settles it. I thought I would let you know this in tbe beginning to aave you the trouble of growling after we got started. That’s all ’’ And he made ready to get into bis bunk. He coughed at intervals all night, and it is safe to say kept everybody in the car awake; but whatever tn-ir thoughts may have been not one person uttered a word. Hung Up His Brother Like a Creditor. A lady who has a little 5-year-oldson, says the New York Recorder, reoently hau a large por trait of him sent her as a surprise. She was just hanging the picture when her son and heir entered the room. •‘Who dat, Muzzy?" he asked, not reoognizing himself. "Tnat’s mamma’s other little boy,” she re plied. The little man was evidently grieved, but he was not tbe lad to wear his heart upon his sleeve. So with a contemptous "humpa!" lie betook himself to the kitchen where he promptly got into mischief. The waitress, who was a new-comer, bad a hot temper, and when she rescued him for the third time from the kero sene cask she said angrily: "Has your mother any mure sons like you, I wonder?” "Y'ep, one,” he returned. "And where Is he?" "Hanging up in the drawing-room,” was tbe unexpected reply. Somewhat Like Solomon. One time a physician went to a distinguished lawyer in great distress. Two sisters living in tbe same house, says the Boston Gnsetie, had babies of equal age who so resembled each other that their own mothers were unable to dlstln gulsh them when they were together. Now.ithap pened by the card asnevs of their uurses that the children had become mix-d, and bow were tbe mothers to make sure that they bad received back their own infants? “But, p maps," said the lawyer, “the chil dren weren't ohanged at a l.” "Oh, but there’s no doubt but tbat tbey were changed,” said tbe physician. "Are you sure of it?” “Perfectly.” “Well, if that’s the cave, why don’t you change them bock again? I don’t see any difficulty in the matter. ” Mayor Grant says that the streets of Lon don are cleaner than those of any American city.

As regards food adulteration, the grocer is in no wise res ponsible for the acts of the manufacturer. If people want goods at cheap figures they must expect quality to correspond. Dr. Price’s De licious Flavoring Extracts, Vanilla, Lemon, etc., come a few cents higher than other extracts in the market, but they contain no poisonous or hurtful matter as an adulter ant; their quality is the high est, their flavor the finest and their perfect purity es tablished. ITSMS OF INTEREST. "Bob" Burdette is to become one of the editors of the Ladies' Home Journal on Jan. 1. A Canadian wo* in— and not a “professional faster” kept alive by medical art—has lived thirty-days without food. Matilda Grapin, 53 years of living near Montreal, lost her reason some time ago, and one day was missing from the plue< where siie was employed a a servant. Nothing was heard of her until last Thursday, when a farmer working In the fields found her under a tree. Bho was nothing but a living skeleton. For thirty five days she had existed without food, her o- ly sustenance being water from a brook. She may recover. These colossal statues te 1 feet high, of rose granite, have just been found at Aboukir a few feet below the service. * The discovery was iimae rrom indications furnished to the government by a local investigator, Daninos Pasha. The first two represent in one group Kamosoa 11, and Hentmara seated on the same throne. This is unique among Egyptian statues. This third statue represents Rames 8 standing upright in military attire, a scepter in his hand and a crown upon his nead. Both bear hieroglyphic inscriptions, and both have been thrown from their pedestals face downward. T.ieirsitei* on the ancient Cape Zephyrium, near the remains of the temple of Venus at Ar -Binoe.

According to the story the drillers had drilled about 150 feet when they lost their drill rods aud a diamond drill. Ti e whole business had dropped to nowhere in an instant. There was quite a force of sir coming out of the hole, and the men said there was no use going any further, because there wssn t any bottom. They concluded to fish for tfce rods and drill, but as soon as the roils were dropped iuto the hole they began to shiver iu a queer way. One of the men took hold of the bar with a pair of leather gloves and he was knockei duwu. Then another man touched the ropo and got u shock, because it was wet. There seems to bes perfect natural store house of electricity. It is generated in some way in that pocket where the drills went. Everybody knows tt at natives of Delaware are called the “Blue Hen’s Chickens,but not one in a hundred can tell you why they are so called. The epithet is said to have bad its origin in tho following: One of Delaware's most gadaut fighters of the war of the revolution was a Capt. Caldwell, who was notor ious for bis fondness for cock fight ing. Ho drilled bis men admir ably. they being known lhrnughojt the army as "Cald .veil's game cocks’* This sami; Cukiwol! held to the peculiar tneory that no cock was really game unless its mother was a blue hen. As the months woie away Cald well's men became known as the “Blue Hen's Chickens,’ a title which only increased their respect for the game-cock captain Tho nick name became famous, and after the close of the war was applied indiscriminately to all natives of the “Dmmoad state.” Plam for the axed e dedicatory of the ex position buildings at Chicago, during the week of Oct. 12, 1892, are fast being matured. One of the chief feature pi ac ioally and oidei upon U a nocturnal procession of float* on the illuminated lagoons at Jackson park. Tho floats will represent a chronological epitome of salient historical events by ceuiuri s, from 14y2 until the present time. Altogether thero will be between forty and fifty floats, costing perhaps sroo each on an average. The last on* will represent Onicasro weicomiujj the nation* of the ea th. All of tho bolts will fairly blare with electnc lights, and thousands of incandescent lamps under the water will give thsm the ap of floating on a lAko of fire. It is bo ieved that fully 500,000 people will watch this gorgeous spectacle each night from tho banks of the iigoon. The speech-making, choral ex erolses, etc, will ojeur in the manufactures building, wblch will be fitted with seating ac comtnodatiou for 80.UCO to 100 OJO people. It ia now thought that from 12,0X1 to 15,000 troepa will participate in tbe dedicatory exercises. The expense of the dedicatory ceremonies will approximate $20,000.

VmorNiA C. Meredith, chairman of the executive committee of tbe board of lady man agers, calls for women ariis&ns to work upon the interior decoration of the woman's building at the Columbian exposition. In her address at the receot woman’s congress, ahe snid: ‘ The Ch'cago directory baa appropriated $2 'O.OOO for a building t * bt- used b the board of lady man age* s for official and other purposes. It is mag nifl. ent in proportions aud beautiful in design. 'lne architect is a young Miss Hay den, and the statues or figures that ornament the exterior at the roof line will be modeled by women. It is hoped that the interior decora tions will also be bf womeu; and upon that point I should like to sp mk particularly to this representative audience. Artisans, women, would doubtless be glad to make the carved balustrades, the frei-wonc for screens, the or namental hardware, hinge*, keys, door-kn ba aud mural decorartons —a hundred parts of the interior decoration that in it*elf would be an exhibition of the work of woman's brain and woman's hand. Will not each of you do something to disseminate knowledge of this opportunity among women who are skillful in the practical and ornamental lines of house furnishing and dscoration? The president of of the board, Mrs. Potter Palmer, has earnestly and cordially invited the women of every state to do something for this building.” MEDICAL. HEALTH IS WEALTH! D. E.
