Licorice.
The stick licorice imported from
Europe is rarely pure. Most of it comes
from Spain, where it is adulterated to an
almost incredible degree. The chief
adulterant is a common and cheap gum
obtained from au acacia, which grows in
great abundance in Morocco aiid along
the west coast of the Sahara, and is called
Barbara gum. But this is not the only
substance used, for starch, flour and even
sand are employed in such quantities
that some of the cheap grades of licorice
have oulv one-half their weight COUl-
posed of the material they purport to
contain.
•PURK NICKEL CURRF.XCT.
It is probable that the Austro-Hun¬
garian government will adopt pure nickel
Air its currency. Tbe alloyed coin gen¬
erally used, containing only twenty-live
|>er cent of nickel, combined with
seventy-five per cent of copper, pos¬
sesses, it is considered, numerous disad¬
vantages, while the favorable points of
the pure nickel piece are that, notwith¬
standing coined, its hardness, it can easily be
that it has the quality of extra¬
ordinary durability, loss by wear and
tear being redueed to a minimum; that
it is preserved clean in circulation and
that no oxidization worth mentioning
sets in.—[Iron Age.
Some Vegetarian Examples.
Wendell Phillips was a vegetarian.
He told me he had not tasted meat in
fifty years, except on occasional instances
when he could get nothing else to eat,
and that he knew he was better off with¬
out it. MissAlcott, authoress of ‘‘Little
Women,” was a vegetarian, as was her
father, Bronson Aleott, the famous phil¬
osopher. and Thoreau was also a vegetarian,
in some of his books be mentions
reasons and and gives experiences.—[Food.

MISPLACED BRAGGING.
He was a very tired looking man. De¬
jection was written on every line of his
face, and as I was a stranger in the vil¬
lage with nothing to do and no one to
talk to, I relieved my pent up spirits by
expressing my sympathy with him in his
troubles, whatever they were.
“Thanks,” he said, “My chief trouble
seems to be that I am an idiot from Idiot-
ville, and that is incurable. I just got
into a braggin’ match with a stranger up
in the Postoffice. He bet he was richer’n
I was, and I took him up just for a bluff.
I told him all I had an’ more too, and
after awhile he gave in, say in’ as how he
wouldn't have thought it. Then I said
I’d swear to it, ’n he said all right, an’ I
did, an’ by thunder who do you suppose
he was?” *
“I don’t know,” I answered. “Who?”
“The tax assessor!” he moaned.
It certainly was a case of hard luck.—
Philadelphia Record.
SCENE AT AN INQUEST.
A verdict reminding us ol the result
of the famous Ravachol trial was lately
given in Texas. A man had been shot
dead in a little town on the upper Col¬
orado. An inquest was held on the
body. The jury examined it minutely and
asked the doctor:
“Where did the bullet strike him?”
“In the heart.”
“Just in the middle?”
“In the very center.”
“Who shot him?”
“Jase Daniels.”
A dozen witnesses deposed that Jake
had fired the shot, and Jake himself ac¬
knowledged the fact. The jury spent
some time in consultation.
“Well, gentleman of the jury,” said
the Coroner, “what is your verdict?”
“Your Honor, we have come to the
conclusion that Jake Daniels is the best
shot in the district.”—Rundschau.
SHE WAS DOING HER SHARE.
The young physician was tired when
he returned from his evening’s calls, but
as he settled back in his easy chair and
his pretty wife of only a month or two
took a seat beside him he asked affec¬
tionately: ha3
“And my little wife been lonely?”
“O, no,” she said, animatedly; “at
least not very. I’ve found something to
busy myself with.”
“Indeed!” he said. “What is it?”
“O, I’m organizing a class. A lot of
young girls and married women are in
it, and we’re exchanging experiences and
teaching each other how to cook.”
“What do you do with the things you
cook?” he asked, interestedly.
“O, we send them to the neighbors
just to show what we can do. There’s
one boarding house gets most of it. It’s
lots of fun.”
“Dear little woman,” he said, leaning
over and blessing her. “Always thought¬
ful of your husband’s practice. Always
auxious to extend it.—Detroit Free
Press.
PERSECUTED HIS BARBER.
“Hum!” said the irritated barber.
“It’s easy enough to kick. Didn’t I
slice all the hair off your face? What
more do you expect for fifteen cents?”
“The stubble has been removed,” re¬
monstrated the custamer, “but with it a
large amount of my cuticle.”
“Well, what of it?” demanded the
barber, “Didn’t I dab alum on that
gash in your ear?”
“You did,” the exacting customer
confessed, “but you cut the tip off my
nose."
“And I pasted it on with court
plaster.”
“True enough, but you severed one
of my eyebrows and lost it on tho floor.”
“I kept the razor out of your eye,
didn’t Ii”
“You did.”
“And only gashed your neck in four
places?”
“Quite right.”
“I’m afraid you’re a kicker. My ad¬
vice to you is to grow a beard or buy a
safety razor and not come around in¬
sulting barbers. You’re one of those
fellows that want a dollar’s worth of
surgery each shave and then kick be¬
cause you weren’t chloroformed.—New
York Hex aid.
A Venomous Bird.
But one species ot venomous bird ia
known to the student of ornithological
oddities—the Rpir N’Daob, or “Bird of
Death,” a feathered paradox of New
Guinea. It i3 not a large or formidable-
looking creature, as one would naturally
expect, Deing scarcely as large as a com-
mon pigeon, but longer and of a more
slender build. It is of a gray, glossy
color without any special markings , ex-
cept tbe tail, which ends with a blood*
The ^ ird “ comparatively
helpless, u being * ble to fly but a few feet,
aad he caught without difficulty;
however, it is unnecessary to say that its
poisonous tite causes the native Papuans
to let it severely alone. Persons bitten
by the creature are seized by maddening
pains, which rapidly extend tc every
part of the body. Loss of sight, con¬
vulsions and lockjaw are the other symp¬
toms which follow in rapid succession.
The natives say that there is not a case
on record of a survival of the bite, there

The Ideal Tea Plantation.
The finest tea plantations in China are
those on the mountain side, neither too
warm nor too cold, where the soil is
dry although rains and dews are fre¬
quent. The force of the wind is broken,
there is a maximum of sunlight, and the
surrounding ground is free from weeds,
or other vegetable growth. Such plau-
tations are worth enormous sums of mon-
ey and are controlled by the Chinese
millionaires.—American Agriculturist,

FROM PREVIOUS DISPATCHES
sections Notwithstanding bad weather in many
of the country, the heaviest vote
known was polled in Tuesday’s presiden¬
tial election. Considering the many fac¬
tors entering into the contest the election
passed ofE very quietly—the disturbances
so far reported being of little importance.
The following telegraphic dispatches
tell how the voting progressed:
ALABAMA.
weather Montgomeay, Ala., November 8.—The
was generally bad throughout
this state. Alabama has gone democratic.
Oates is re-elected to congress. One fatal
shooting occurred here tonight. The
citizens of this state voted for pres¬
idential electors and nine congressmen.
Reports from all over the state indie te
a failirg off in the fnsion vote.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, November 8.—This
state today votes on seven congressmen,
nine presidentid electors and a state
legislature, which will elect a Unhid
ft.aits sc. ator to suect-eu bcuaior iruituu,
republican, Comparisons should be
made with 1888, when Harrison carried
the state by 7,000 plurality.
COLORADO.
D. nver. November 8.—The weather
here and throughout the state is hazy,
wi h a cold wind and threatening snow.
The republicans and populists are gen¬
erally voting their tickets straight, but
ihe other fusion faction is voting for tbe
Weaver electors, scratching the state
and legislature in a wholesale manner.
The elections for presidential electors,
two congressmen, govtrnor and other
state officers.
CONNECTICUT.
New Haven, November 8.—The elec¬
tions in Connecticut were for presiden¬
tial electois. four congressmen, governor
and state officers and the legislature,
which will have the selection of a United
States senator in the place of Joseph R.
Hawley.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fia., November 8.—The
day has been exceptionally fine and the
vote was light in most of the
counties, there being little to call out
the full strength. The Clevelan d electors
all go in with a majority of from 25,000
to 26,000. The state voted for presiden¬
tial electors and two congressmen.
IOWA.
DesMoines, November 8.—The state of
Iowa does not elect a governor today, al¬
though all other state officers are to be
chosen. Eleven congressmen and thir¬
teen presidential electors are to be chosen.
Comparisons of tbe vote should be made
with 1888, when the state went republi¬
can by 32,000 plurality. The registra¬
tion this year been unusually large.
IDAHO.
Boise City, November 8.—Election in
Idaho was for presidential electors, one
congressman, governor and other state
officers and legislature.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, November8.—The voting in
Illinois today was for presidential elec¬
tors, twenty-two congressmen, governor
and other stale officers and a legislature.
The vote was also taken on giving the
hgislature power to propose amendments
to two articles of the state constitution
at the same session.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Ind., November 8—Vot¬
ing in this state today was for presiden¬
tial electors, thirteen congressman, a
governor and other state officials and a
legislature which will select a successoi
to United States Senator David Turpie,
democrat.
KANSAS.
Topeka, November 8.—Kansas voted to¬
day for presidential electors, eight con¬
gressman, governor and other state offi¬
cers, and a legislature which will have
the naming of a United States senator in
place of Bishop W. Perkins, who was
appointed to serve until the election of a
successor to Senator Plumb, deceased.
Ten presidential electors, eight con¬
gressmen, dricts, full one at large, and seven by dis-
a state ticket and a new leg¬
islature is voted for. The comparison
should be made on the electoral ticket
with 1888, when Hariison carried the
state by 8,000 plurality.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, November 8.—Voting in Mas¬
sachusetts today was for presidential
electors, thirteeu congressmen, governor
and other state officers and a legislature
which will select a successor to United
States Senator Henry L. Dawes.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Mich., November 8.—Michi¬
gan elects presidential electors, twelve
congressmen, governor aod other state
officers and a legislature which will
choose a United States senator in place
of Francis H. Stock bridge.
MAINE.
Bangor, Me., November 8.—Maine
elected her congressmen, and state offi-
cers in September, and the voting today
was for presidential electors only. The
■weather is fine and warm, but the vote
is evidently smaller throughout the state
than in September. The conclusion is
that the vote throughout the sta'e will
be smaller than in September, and the
republican plurality will be as large, or
larger.
MINNESOTA.
St. Paul, November 8.—The election in
Minnesota today is for presidential elec¬
tors, seven Congressmen, governor and
other state officers and a legislature
which will name a successor to United
States Senator Cushman K. Davis,repub¬
lican. Two amendments to the state
constitution were also voted upon.
NEW YORK.
New York, November 8.—The weath¬
er was bright and clear here today. It
is doubtlul if in years there have been so
many officials and w'orkers about the
polls. All parties had legions of men
employed and these added to impectors,
ballot clerks, police, United States mar¬
shals and supervisors made the scene a
lively one. During the early hours all
indications pointed to a quiet electio n
At the polling places there was an un¬
usual scene of activity. In the first
place the new ballot law is not yet clear
to all citizens and time and lime again
the clerks had to instruct the voters.
There were more ballot boxes than usual
on account of the three ronstitutio: al
amendments that were voted on.
NEVADA
Virginia City, November 8.--In Neva ia
today the election w»* f r nri«»d/>nt : n
electors, one congressman, judge of the
supreme court and a legislature which
will name a successor to William M. Stew¬
art, republican.
NORTH CAROLINA.
election Raleigh, N. C., November 8.—The
The passed off quietly in this state.
weather was misty but not disagree¬
able. A full democratic vote was polled
while the republicans and third party
cast a lighter vote than was expected.
Although there was less political excite¬
ment than ever before,an unusually large
vote was cast. The greater part of North
Carolina’s stay at home vote of twenty-
five or thirty thousand, broke the ranks
and helped the democrats largely. Every¬
the thing indicates a democratic victory presiden¬ in
state. The voting was for
tial electors, nine congressmen, governor
and other state officers and legislature.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, November 8.—In Nebraska
today the voting was for presidential
electors, six congressmen, governor and
other state rfficers and a legislature
which will have the choosing of United
States senator in the place of Algernon
S, Paddock. Two proposed amendments
to the state constitution were also voted
upon.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Lancaster, N. H., November 8.—The
parties are divided about as in 1888, with
chances in favor of a slieht Cleveland
gain. On governor, McKenna, demo¬
crat, will lose a few votes. For congress,
Parker, republican, will undoubtedly
make quite a gain over Baker, democrat.
The republican county ticket will be
elected by the usual majority.
OHIO.
Columbus, November 8.—Citizens of
the Buckeye State voted for presidential
electors, twenty-one congressmen, secre¬
tary of state and minor officers.
OREGON.
Portland, November 8. Oregon voted
only for presidential electors today.
PENNS YLY AVIA.
Philadelphia, vNovember 8.—The
weath all over Pennsylvania was clear,
crisp and cool. Reports from all parts
of the state indicate that a surprisingly
hfavy vote was polled. There is much
interest in the new ballot system, and
this apparently brought out all of the
voters.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, November 8.—The day
opened rainy and gloomy, but before 1
o’clock the skies cleared and it was warm
and pleasant. Under this weather con¬
dition a heavy vote was polled in this
city and apparently throughout the state.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. C., November 8.—South
Carolina polled a light vote. About 80,-
000 votes were cast and the democratic
majority is in the neighborhood of 42,-
000. Several democratic congressmen, a
solid delegation, were elected. There
was no trouble throughout the state. The
voting was for presidential electors, and
congressmen, governor and other state of¬
ficials and legislature. The alliance will
have four congressmen. There was
excitement, and no disturbances reported
anywhere.

NUMBER 45.
BUSINESS REVIEW
By R. G. Duun and Co.’s Mercantile
Agency.
R. G. Dunn & Co.s’ weekly review of
trade says: Even in the last week before
the presidential election business contin¬
ued very active; indeed, the volume is
far beyond auy nport for a similar pe¬
riod, yet the coming election has plainly
diminished business in two ways. Mul¬
titudes have been diverted from trade to
political activity, and more have chosen to
| postpone uncertainty transactions has been removed. until the The political fact
.
! that even under theso circumstances
trade has been enormous shows how pow-
eiful is this impetus toward activity and
expansion. The people arc clearly buy-
1 ing more goods than ever, and in some
I inctmees the manufacturers are realiz¬
ing a slight advance in prices. Money
j s closer at some western points, but no-
where is a stringency seen, and there is
no apprehension as to the immediate fut¬
ure.
The sales of cotton have amounted to
more (han i ? o00,000 bales, and prices
^ having advanced an for southern ac-
; counts, appears to indicate a greater de-
crease in the yield, and receipts are again
comparatively small. Speculation is not
very active, except in cotton,
At Philadelphia iron has an advancing
tendency. Trade is healthy and buoyant
at Baltimore, though open weather re¬
tards some branches and will lesson the
oyster packing now in lull blast. Pitts¬
burg notes activity in iron, especially in
finished products, and fair trade in
glass. At St. Louis, though the weather
checks trade in woolens and clothing,
groceries, aDd boots and shoes an l dry
goods generally are strong and grain re¬
ceipts are heavy. At Louisville business
is a full average, and at Memphis is
slightly improved, though below the uor-
mal volume. At New Orleans the labor
trouble retards trade, but cotton is
higher and active, and the receipts of su¬
gar are libeial, with good demand.
The iron business improves everywhre
and unsold stocks are fast disappearing.
Pig is stronger, but bur is somewhat
weak. The demand for plates is only
moderate, but for structural iron is very
large, and sheets are active, with especial
pressure for the lighter qualities. West¬
ern competition depresses plates, but for
the industry as a whole the tone has dis¬
tinctly improved.
Wool sales for the week have been
7,100,000 pounds, against 4,800,000 the
same week last year, and since May 13
the increase has been 37 per cent. The
demand for woolen goods is active for
the season. Cotton goods are firmer and
in some line* higher in price. The Fall
River mills have voluntarily increased
wages 7 per cent.
The boot and shoe factories are sur¬
prisingly busy for the season, the ship¬
ments for this week exceeding last year’s
9 per cent. The advance in paper has
been maintained, though there is some
feeling of unceitainty. advance
The Bank of England made no
in rates and money here has b°en steady
at 6 per cent. Circulation of all kinds in¬
creased $10,000,000 in October and is
now over $1,606,000,000. This week
the treasury has put out $600,000 more
notes, while increasing it* specie but
$100,080.
Merchandise exports are improving,
and the excess of exports over imports is
now large in general.
Nothing seems to foreshadow a mone¬
tary difficulty, and with colder weather
and the political uncertainty removed,
great business is antiepated.
The busim ss failures occurring through¬
out the country during the past week
number for the United States 207, against
223 for the corresponding week last year.
STATE SUPREMACY DENIED.
A Startling Decision by the U. S.
Attorney General.
A Washington dispatch says: Acting
made Attorney General Aldrich, on Thursday,
an important statement with ref¬
erence to the authority of United States
deputy marshals to supervise the elec¬
tions in which he announces that all per¬
sons whoever attempts to interfere with
these officers bring themselves within
the scope of the criminal statutes of the
United States, regardless of whether or
not they act under any state or munic¬
ipal statute.
He says that in view of these statutes
it is not thought that any person or com¬
bination of persons will seek in any way
to interfere with the marshals in the dis¬
charge of their duties, but that any such
interference will be rigorously prose¬
cuted.
The statement begins by saying that
the attention oi the department alleged of justice
has been called to certain instruc¬
tions to police and state officials in Ala¬
bama, Arkansas and New York, with refer¬
ence to their conduct towards tbe deputy
marshals at the polls.
It declares that the marshals are there
as peace officers and that their instruc¬
tions are not to allow discrimination for
or against any party, but to secure an
‘‘honest ballot and a fair count.”
It denies the doctrine of the suprem¬
acy of states over the United States in
this matter of elections, and says that
the impression that the federal govern¬
ment “la a foreign power” should be ob¬
literated.
He says that the statement that section
2021 is the only section authorizing the
appointment of deputy marshals, and
therefore that such appointments can be
made only in cities of twenty thousand
inhabitants or upwaad is not the view
entertained by the attorney general held or
hlm»6lf, nor has such a view been
by any preceding attorney general. wheth¬
With reference to the question right be
er deputy marshals have the to
within the guard rail of polling places, it
is said, has been answered in the attor¬
ney general’s circular of October 31st,
last and that the statutes are so cleur an I
explicit that no room is seen for discus
sion
The statement concludes: “The laws
must be enforced. The mars’na s ara
warned under penalties of law of citizen*, agaust
interfering with the rights
and at the same time they will guard aud
protect such rights at whatever cost.”
Instructions in accordance with
views will be sent to United State* mar¬
shals in all parts of the country.
