HIGHER PRICES FOR SHOES.
|*ricrs Have Taken Quite a Jump In
the Last Fen- Days.
Boston Is the head of the shoe trade.
This is what the Boston Globe has to
Bay of the advance in prices of shoes:
The full firmness of the boot and shoe
position Is retained, and Is Intensified
rather than weakened in the least. Prom
inent houses that sold goods early, at
67d prices have had enough of It. and
have no more goods to sell, except at
advances of from Ec to 10c per pair.
Houses that have sold goods at 2*6c ad
vance are now obliged to ask 6c to 7Hc
advance on goods identically the same.
Trade Is dull, It is true, for many of the
jobbers have gone home, and have not
left more than half the orders expected
of them, but a good duplicating season
is hoped for. The factories are many of
them running on short time, and there
is a feeling that unless orders begin to
be taken more freely very soon, more
machinery will have to be stopped.
But there Is a general yielding on the
part of the Jobbers as to the actual firm
ness of the position. Leading jobbers
and buying agents admit all of the firm
ness of the leather position, but they
have gone home with only very small
orders placed, thinking that It will be
better to wait for the placing of the
balance of the orders they require. In
this it would seem that they have made
a mistake, for the leather position seems
to be growing more and more firm, with
the prices of goods still further advanced.
If the result of the tanners’ meeting,
is to still further advance lea
ther, then the jobbers will find
the prices of goods even stronger when
they come to bo obliged to have them.
RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Figures prepared for the Railroad Ga
zette show that the receipts of grain at tho
ten principal lake and river ports, last
year, were 17.5 per cent, less than in 1893,
And the receipts at the seven principal

False statement, and Misrepresen
tation..
Corruption does rot exist in politics
alone. The time was when people were
shocked to hear that such conditions pre
failed in politics, but worse than all else
is the fact thst this evil should be carried
into the drug business and the sick be
made to suffer in consequence thereof.
For various reasons dealers allow them
selves to be persuaded to stock up medi
cines of all sorts, to be sold to the sick on
the representation that they are just the
s me as Simmons Liver Regulator-a
treater outrage has not been perpetrated
hpun the people. This has been the expe
rience of many who have been duped by
these fatso statements. Take only The
Old Friend. Simmons Liver Regulator,
with the Red V. on every package, and
J’ou’U get the medicine that did the old
iolks so much good in bygone days. It has
been kept up as their Inheritance to the
present generation.

AS OFFICE SEEKS THE MAS,
A Sinn Electedpjnative of the Pence
by 4 Viitesi Without His Knowledge.
Milwaukee, Wts., April 4.—One of the
unique features of the election was the
election of Peter Mcrgler, without his
knowledge, to the office of Justice of the
peace in the town of Greenfield, he receiv
ing only four votes. Last spring Philip
Oestrlch was elected justice of the peace
for three years on the republican ticket
by an overwhelming majority. He filed ,t
bond, but it was rejected and he never
made another attempt to qualify, but has
been conducting court continuously ever
since. Stutely Henderson, alive to the op
portunity, got three of his friends to vote
for Meigler and with his own vote a total
of four resulted. It was sufficient to fill
the vacancy. Neither Meigler nor
Oestrieh was aware of the circumstances
until yesterday.
NOTES IX HAT LININGS.
Factory Girls for Whom They Have
Secured UuNhiiitilu.
From the New York Sun.
As in all other manufacturing towns,
the factory girls of Reading, Pa., have
lots of fun Inserting little notes in pack
ages of articles they manufacture and
send out to all parts of the world. The
best fun of this kind is enjoyed by the
girls who work in factories turning out
articles used exclusively by men. Hence
hat factory girls receive possibly the larg
est mail.
“I have known at least a dozen girls
who became the wives of men who found
their little notes in the hats they bought,”
said the forewoman of a hat factory.
"Several girls have their sisters at home
making copies for the following note:
“I hope you will be pleased with this
hat. I have tried to line and trim it sat
isfactorily. If you have a few minutes*
time to spare, and can do it, please write
and tell me how you like your hat. Of
course, you must be a single man, as I
am a single girl. Lovers are scarce in
this town.,
"The girls slip the notes under the lin
ing of the hats, allowing just an end to
stick out under the sweat band. A note
so placed would not be seen unless the
sweat band was turned down. Of
course, hundreds of hats are sent out,
and possibly the notes are never seen,
but v or) many are found and answered.
The girls receive answers from all over
the United States, principally the west.
The letters they receive would make
quite a collection. Generally they are
read out aloud In the shop. Very many
replies from the west say that girls are
very scarce out there. Some men want
to correspond with a view to matrimony
otheis Just for pastime. One man recent
ly wrote that he wanted a hat trimmed
by the same girl.
“A few days ago a letter was received
from Southwestern Colorado for a girl
who died here eight months ago. She
had put In her trimmed hats a lot of
notes. The writer had nearly worn out
his hat before he discovered the note
He offered to fiend the girl money to come
out to him If she'd marry him. Poor
Mary, she had died of pneumonia. The
picture of the man In the letter looked
as If he would make any girl a good
husband Mary’s slstter had opened the
letter. She answered it. They are now
corresponding*.
"If a girl exchanges a few letters with
an unknown correspondent, and the man's
answers suit, she generally sends a letter
to the town’s chief of police or mayor, and
asks confidentially all aboctrethe character
of her correspondent. In nearly every In
stance the officials send courteous replies
and tell all the girl wants to know. Photo
graphs are exchanged and little gifts are
received, generally curiosities from far
away states. One of our girls recleves let
ters from a man at Puget Sound, from an
other In Southern California, and from
another in Havana and from another in
Yucatan. The girls have gone into the
stamp collection business, and our factory
album Is quite a curiosity in Its way
Of course, the girls can’t answer all the
letters they receive. The cowboys write
very odd letters. One ranchman said he
owns J.OOO acres and 5,000 head of cattle,
and wants a wife. The letters generally
have full descriptions of the men. They
all ask for photographs of the girls. Some
of the girls send pictures of actresses, as
handsome as they can get them, but very
often the girls depends upon their own
faces, because many of them are really
pretty and winning. One factory girl
made a practice of send photographs of
a deceased maiden aunt, with side curia
and fancy head dress, telling her corre
spondent she had a kind heart and was
very respectable. One correspondent re
turned the picture*, saying he was not
making a collection of freaks.
"Some girls who have been married a
few years receive answers to their notes.
"I know two young Indiana men who
came east for brides and secured them.
In all other instances - the girls went
west or south and became happy wives,
so far as I know. Last year two girls
w-ho made vests for a wholesale house,
and had slipped notes into the bottoms
of the watch pockets, secured husbands.
Another girl of my acquaintance, who
works in a stocking factory, slipped a
note into the -toe of a No. 11 sock, and
about sixteen months later heard from the
buyer, who was an Iron ore miner up In
Michigan. They are still corresponding
I think. Girls who pack note paper occa
sionally write their names and addresses
with lead pencil on one of the sheets.
Sometimes tfiey get replies If the note pa
per falls Into the hands of romantic young
men. But frequently married men ans
swer these notes.”

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, APRTL 5, 1595.
THE FUMING FRUIT SECTION.
W ire Grass Georgia Ihe Home of the
Pencil oud the Melon.
Tifton, Ga.. April I. —Prof. J. 1,. Budd
of the lowa State Agricultural College,
the best Informed and most distinguished
pomoiogist of the northwest, has Just vis
ited Tifton on bis return from a tour
through Florida and the West Indies in
the interest of bis state horticultural so
ciety. He writes to the lowa Sate Regis
ter under the head of •'Horticultural
Notes’’ as follows:
"We have recently given a number of
days to an Investigation of the fruit
growing possibilities of the pine woods
belt of South Georgia. The common be
lief has been that this region was a flat,
sandy tract which could have but little
agricultural value when cleared by the
turpentine, rosin and pitch stills, and the
hundreds of great saw mills. Our first
hint that this region might have great
horticultural possibilities came from in
specting the grapes, melons and peaches
sent from near Tifton, In South Georgia,
to the Columbian Exposition about July 1.
By far the finest and best flavored Si
beria. peaches, Delaware, Brighton and
Ives grapes and early melons shown dur
ing the season were from this section.
At Tifton, Cyclonelta and other points we
rode many miles to inspect the oldest
fruiters of. the region and the hundreds of
acres of peach orchards, vineyards,
and melon ground. It is a fine rolling coun
try, underlaid with the common Georgia
clay, with just enough sand
in the surface soil to Insure,
earliness of ripening, high quality and
rich coloring of fruit. Two-year-old peach
trees are laden with buds just ready to
open at this date. (March 21.) the grape
buds are just starting and the melon grow
ers are busily planting seed. We are as
sured that the main crop of peaches,
grapes and melons, will be ready to ship
from the first to the fifteenth of July, and
the early varieties will be shipped from
the 20th to the 25th of June. These early
dates of shipping Insures good prices at
the north, and the speedy delivery in New
Y'ork, Philadelphia or even Chicago, per
mits the ideking of the fruit when ripe
and highly colored. Another special ad
vantage of this favored section Is com
paraiive exemption from destructive
spring frosts. In Central Georgia, around
Macon and Griffin, only two full crops of
peaches have been gathered in six years,
while in the pine wood region around Tif
ton the old settlers say there hus not been
a total failure of the peach crop in forty
years. Even last year, when the crop
was a total failure north of Macon,
Tifton peaches astonished visitors at the
exposition. At Ft. Valley a few miles south
west of Macon, hundreds of acres of
peaches have been planted within the past
four years. The Albaugh and Hale or
chards alone cover over 200 acres and the
outlook for profitable results Is very fav
orable. Y'et we wish to record the opinion
that immense crops of peaches and grapes
will be shipped from Tifton when Fort
Valley has an off year, and when equal
harvests are grown at the two points the
Tifton peaches, grapes and melons, will
bear shipping a week earlier, and the av
erage in color, size and quality w-111 he
much higher. If we owned a foot of land
in South Georgia soil this high opinion
of its horticultural future would not be
given. As H is, we predict a rapid advance
in the selling value of denuded pine lands
high enough and dry enough for growing
the three fruits we have named. Indeed,
land that sold three years ago at $2 per
aero cannot now be bought for S4O.
"In connection with the above high es
timate of South Georgia, we regret to give
the opinion that the future of fruit grow
ing in Florida is not promising. North
of a line drawn across the state from
Rockledge on the Atlantic coast, to Tampa
on the Gulf of Mexico, which includes
nearly all of the orange groves of tho
state, the trees are practically dead. It
has been hoped that they would sprout
from the stem and main branches, but the
most sanguine are now cutting down the
trees, with the hope that they will sprout
from the stump. Whre the cutting has
not been too long delayed this hope will
be realized, but North California experi
ences has demonstrated that the trees
from stumps are apt to split down and
topple over when of fruiting size. Again
the query arises, on account of the pine
forest on the north and northwest, is it
not probable that the cold waves will be
more frequent in the future than they
have been in the past. Florida lies lower
than any part of the northwest, and with
the removal of its protecting forests
is as much exposed to our
northwesters as South Texas. Again, the
Florida climate is not favorable for a
period of rest in trees’ A degree of cold
that would not defoliate orange trees In
South California may uterly kill the trees
in Florida. To illustrate; Prior to the
freeze in February the orange trees de
foliated by the December freeze were,
coming into leaf. At the same time the
peach was In full blossom, and with well
started leaves the mulberry was nearly
in full leaf; roses were getting ready to
bloom,etc. In this growthy condition the
temperature of Feb. 7 and 8, from 10 to
15 degrees above zero, wrought destruction
such as has never been known in the
temperate zones. Around the great ho
tels at St. Augustine. Tampa and many
other points, the palms, oleanders, eitrus
fruits, figs and even roses and Chinese
peach tsees were killed to the ground,
while on the clay lands of South Georgia
not a point of growth was killed, for the
reasons that subtropical trees are not
planted and not a bud of the peach or
rose had started. The other main crops
of Florida are early garden vegetables
and strawberries, all of which were sol
idly frozen. As we look at it, the de
struction of the immense pine forests of
South Georgia and Alabama has struck
a death-blow to Florida horticulture and
gardening, but it has opened anew ter
ritory where early peaches, grapes, straw
berries and melons can be grown in un
limited quantity."

Several girl waitere in a restaurant have
gone on a strike because tho manager has

makes even the prettiest among them look
demure and unattractive, and flirting la

In any city thrnp are many possible way#
to travel from oae j-Mfci 10 another. But
between the fpod on.your table arui ft*
destination in the body there Is only one
road—directly through the stomach. There
Is no going around the stomach or forcing
a passage through It. Here the food is
detained a while for better or for worse.
Here It must be digested—that i to *a>,
changed, liquefied arid assorted for assimi
lation—or failing that, it must lie here and
rot. generating poisonous principles which
enter the blood and set up a diseased ac
tion throughout tho system. This Is in
digestion or dyspepsia—the condition that
exists when a person says: “My food docs
me no good.’*
Certainly not. How can It? The more
he eats the more he suffers. The road is
blocked. No use putting more grain in the
hopper when the mill cannot grind. Here
are some of nature s protests: ls of
appetite: distress after eating, heartburn,
palpitation, flashes of heat and cold, the
rising of nauseous acids and gases Into
the throat, furred tongue, dull and aching
head, pains In the chest and back, weari
ness. fatigue and worry, loss of sleep,
cold hands and feet, yellowish eyes and
skin, weakness and trembling.constipation,
failure of nervous force and courage, etc.
Out of this seething blockade in the stom

plaints—a common form of pseudo-con

COLVIN'S ANTI-IIOND SUIT.
HI. Lawyer la File the Mnch Tallied
o( Certificate-
Jacksonville, Fla.', April 4.—The Colvin
anti-bond suit is on again. The first move
for a further prosecution was made In the
United States oourt this morning by H.
Bisbee, attorney for Mr. Colvin. The de
cision of the United States supreme court
last Monday in favor of the city was upon
a mere technicality, the absence of the dis
trict Judge's certificate of jurisdiction
when the repeal was taken, and did not
touch the merits of the case at all.
This morning in tho United States cir
cuit court In this city Col. Bisbee gave no
tice of a motion that he would make to
morrow for the certificate, saying that he
wished to file the certificate in the supremo
court at Washington.
The omission of this certificate from the
record sent up to the supreme court has
caused considerable comment in legal and
business circles here. Col. Bisbee said
that he asked for the certificate and Judge
Icke of the United States circuit oourt
of the southern district of Florida did not
think 1t neceisary. Judge Locke says that
Col. Bisbee, under his (Bisbee’s) construc
tion of the law, did not seem to think a
certificate necessary, so a side issue has
grown up out of the celebrated suit as to
who is at fault In not obtaining the certifi
cate. From this last move of Col. Bisbee
it is evident that the end of a most embar
rassing suit to city finances and Improve
ments Is not at an end, a* many thought
and hoped.
AN EX-CO Nt It'T ASKS *15,000.
An Arm Blown Off and an Eye Pat

Atlanta, Ga,. April 4.—Michael O'Neill,
a negro ex-convict, to-day filed suit
apalnst Penitentiary Company No. 2,
the Chattahoochee Brick Company and
the Chlckamauga Coal and Iron Company
for $15,000 damages.
In 1888 O'Neill w* sent to the penitenti
ary for ten years for assault, with Intent
to murder, and was assigned to Peniten
tiary Company No. 2. By that company
he was delivered to the Chattahoochee
Brick Company, who In turn delivered
him to the Chlckamauga Cbal and Iron
Company, which transfers, it la tjjleged,
were without authority of law, the Chlck
amauga Company being, It Is charged,
under control of the Chattahoochee Brick
Company. O'Neill was put to work on a
railroad In Walker county with other
convicts, and on Nov. 24, 1894, the men
were put to blasting. Thirteen charges
or shots of dynamite was placed In one
blast, and all went off but one. O'Neill,
It Is alleged, was.ordered by Squad Cap
tains Allen and Agerton to go forward and
clear the deficit charge w hich had failed
to fire. While engaged in this work the

“Several years affo, while in Fort j

cold, attended with a terrible cough, !
that allowed me no rest day or
night. The dorters after exhaust
ing their remedies, pronounced my
§case hopeless, say
ing they could do no

me to take it, which
I did. and soon after I was greatly
