REVOLUTION IN HAWAII.
Tl18 MonarcMal Government Overtlirown
j}? Pgflfljfl Qj Qjg ISMdS.
Annexation to the United States De¬
sired by the hew Government,
of A State Washington received special says: Saturday Secretary
Foster morn-
'»« the monarchy -"ivice, from Hawaii overthrown, to the and effect that
was a pro-
visional government established in the
interest, of the whole people of the
islands. The cabinet was voted out on
January 12th, and another appointed on
the 14th, on which day the queen rnpted pro¬
rogued the legislature snd att to
proclaim a new constitution, uisfranchis-
ing foreigners and increasing the loyal
prerogatives.
January 16th the citizens organized a
committee of safety. Oa the 17th the
provisional government was established
and the queen dethroned. The revolution
was single accomplished without the loss of a
life. The United States troops
landed in accordance with the request of
the American minister to preserve the
property of Americans. The new gov¬
ernment was promptly recognized by
most The of the diplomatic representatives. head
four men who constitute the of
the provisional government are of high
character, one having resigned a place
on the supreme bench to assume the po¬
sition. The latest advices report the
island in a state of tranquility.
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Mr. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian minis¬
ter at Washington, has received an offi¬
cial the dispatch confirming the report that
Hawaiian government had been
overthrown and that the new commis¬
sioners from the new government were
on their way to Washington from San
Francisco to ask that Hawaii be annexed
to the United States. Mr. Smith is now
at the state department waiting the ad¬
vice of the secretary of state of the in¬
formation he has received. The state
and Davy department have been officially
informed of the revolution.
DEMAND OF THE PROCLAMATION.
A special from San Francisco gives the
following details of the revolution in Ha¬
waii: “The first intimation of trouble
came tried on January 15th, when the queen
to get the cabinet to sign the new
constitution that disfranchised all for¬
eigners and put the whole government in
the hands of native politicians. The
ministers refused, and jp-hen threatened
by the queen fled for their lives. They
returned later and induced the queen to
postpone the coup. There was a little
public meeting in front of the palace.
The queen announced the failure of her
plans and a native orator demanded the
lives of the ministers. Early in the
evening the citizen met and formed a
committee of public safety.
“On January 16th a mass meeting was
held in the armory. At about 5 o’clock
p. m. the United States steamship Bos¬
ton landed 300 men fully armed. They
marched to the office of the consul gene¬
ral of the United States. The marines
were sent to the American legation,
while the sailors marched out along
Merchant street with two Gatling guns
and camped for a while on private
grounds. They stayed ashore all night.
All day Tuesday, the 18th, the commun¬
ity was in a state of expectancy, looking
to the committee of public safety to do
something to end the tension. The com¬
mittee in the meantime was not idle,
being incessantly occupied completing
its organization and completing the final
arrangements necessary to the proclama¬
tion of a provisional government and its
protection by an armed force.
“In the meantime the committee on
public safety, accompanied by members
of the government about to be formed,
proceeded to the government building.
There a proclamation was read, of which
points are as follows:
“First. Tbe Hawaiian monarchical
system of government is hereby abro-
grated.
i < ‘Second. A provisional government
for concrol and management of public
affair^ and protection of public peace is
hereby established to exist until terms of
union with tbe United States of America
have been negotiated and agreed up- on.
‘ “Third. Such provisional govern¬
ment shall consist of an executive coun¬
cil of four members who shall adminis¬
ter the executive department of the gov¬
ernment with an advisory council of four¬
teen, who shall have a general legislature
for authority.
< L ‘Fourth. All officers of the govern¬
ment are to exercise their functions ex¬
cept the queen, Marshal Wilson and the
cabinet.
The provisional government and cabi¬
net went to the palace and submitted
their plan to the queen. She refused at
first to yield, but finally returned to her
country- residence, her troops surrendered
and the government was in the hands of
foreigners. The deposition of the queen
was followed by the sending of the fol¬
lowing named commissioners to Washing¬
ton to negotiate with the United States
government: Marsden Thurston, Castle, Wilder,
and Carter, Mr. Thurston
was seen at the Occidental Saturday
morning. He said: “We shall start for
Washington to secure annexation to the
United States. We want no protecto¬
rate and no republic. A republic would
be worse than a monaichy, for ignorant
Kanakas would rule. I may say that the
foreigners are unanimously in favor of
annexation as the only hope for Hawaii.
The queen has been nursiDg her c up
de’tat ever since she came to the thioae.
She wanted arbitrary power first. She
secured the passage of the iufamous lot¬
tery bill, and then sprang a new consti¬
tution upon them which disfranchised
all foreigners.”
NO ANNEXATION P.ROBABLE.
A lengthy interview was held Saturday
between Secretary of State Foster and
Dr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister, at
Washington. At its close Secretary
Foster went over to the white house and
had a conference with President Harri¬
son. While, of course, no statement of
policy to be pursued by ths United
States will be made, at least until after
the arrival of the commissioners f;om
Hawaii, who are to present the request for
annexation the United *
to States. It may
be said that the visit of the Haw
aiians will hardly be successful, if the
purport thereof has been correctly stated.
Aside from an innovation upon the poli¬
cy of the government since its organiza¬
tion, which annexation would be, the in¬
terests of other countries in the Sand¬
wich islands are too large to permit, on
the part of the goverment, of those na¬
tions an acquiesence in such annexations.
It would involve consequences that the
United States would not care, and which
its long stttled policy forbids it, to as¬
sume.
UNITED STATES WAR VESSELS EN ROUTE
TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
A San Francsco special says: The
United States flagship, Mohican, with
Admiral Skerritt aboard, left Mare
Island navy yard at 7 o’clock Sunday
morning. She arrived off San Francisco
in the afternoon and proceeded direct to
sea on her way to Honolulu. The Ranger
is expected to leave the yard at any
moment and the Adams will follow.
For several months there has not
been so much bustle and activity at
the Mare Island navy yard as shown since
the news was received announcing the
overthrow of the monarchial government
of Hawaii. The various heads of de¬
partments were ordered to report imme¬
diately at the commandant’s office, and
orders were issued to them to have the
fl igship Mohican and the cruiser Ranger
ready to steam away from the yard at
once, and the Adams will be ready in
forty-eight hours.
THE NEWS IN ENGLAND.
A London cablegram of Sunday says:
The Daily News says of the Hawaii rev-
olution: “The oveithrow of the queen
appears to be an American coup, Hawaii
being the key to the whole group. The
Americans, once they possess it, would
have no difficulty in making themselves
master of the other. Europe, however,
has necessities in the same quarter, Hon¬
olulu being the only coaling station on
the mail route between San Francisco and
Auckland.”
JUSTICE LAMAR’S FUNERAL
His Remains Laid to Rest in Riverside
Cemetery, Macon,
With Impressive Ceremonies—A Vast
Funeral Procession.
The remains of Justice L, Q. C. La¬
mar, as they lay in state at the Virgin
home in Vineville, Thursday and Friday
morning, were viewed by a great many
of those who bad known and loved the
dead Justice. Many saw him, however,
for the first time, but even they had long
admired and respected him. Mrs. La¬
mar, the widow of the dead justice, was
still overwhelmed with grief, but with
that courage for which she is noted, con¬
trolled her emotions enough to see a few
friends and relatives. To her the loss is
indeed a sad blow—the lover of her
youth and the consort of her declining
years lies cold in the embrace of death.
Her feelings must indeed be sad.
TO THE GRAVE.
The procession left the Virgin resi¬
dence in Vineville at 11:30 o’clock Fri¬
day morning under the escort of Marshal
Wright of the United States supreme
court, who bad charge of the procession
from the time it left the residence until
the exercises were completed. Marshal
Wright was assisted by Captain John L.
Hardeman and Captain O. T. Kenan,
together with Messrs. Matt. R. Free¬
man and Minter Wimberly from the local
bar.
The procession moved in the following
orderfromtheresider.ee to the chutch:
honorary pall bearers; pall bearers; re¬
mains; family of the deceased; supreme
court of the United States; Senator Wal¬
thall, Mrs. Chief Justice Fuller, senator
and Mrs. Gordon; relatives and friends.
The following acied as the honorary pall
bearers: Chief Justice L. E. Bleckley,
Associate Justices T. J. Simmons and
Samuel Lumpkin; and United States
District Judges W. T. Newman and Em¬
ory Speer; Hon. Stephen Clay, presi¬
dent of the state senate, Hon. J. M.
Terrell, attorney general of Georgia,
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett, judge of su¬
perior court, Hon. S. B. Price, mayor of
Macon, Dr. Edward A. Flewellen.
AT THE CHURCH.
Upon the arrival of the cortege at the
Mulberry street Metbcdist church, the
honorary pall bearers entered through the
center aisle and took seats to the left of
the pulpit. The active pall bearers, after
placing the the remains right in position, occupied
pews to of the pulpit.
The family occupied the front pews to
the left of the center aisle, while the
chief justice and associate justices of the
United States supieme court, who came
as mourners with the family, occupied
the front pews on the right of the center
aisle, the officers of the supreme court
being in the pew immediately in their
rear. In the third pew on the right was
Senator Walthall, Mrs. Fuller, General
and Sirs. Gordon. Relatives and friends
occupied the other pews. Bi'hop Fitz¬
gerald, assisted by Dr. Warren A. Cand¬
ler, president of Emory college, and Dr.
W. C. Black, pastor of Mulberry Street
Methodist church, conducted the services
in accordance with the ritual of the
Methodist church. The services were
lengthy but impressive.
From the church the procession pro¬
ceeded up Mulberry to Georgia avenue,
thence to College street to Riverside
cemetery, the interment taking place in
the lot of Colonel Wm. H. Ross.
The funeral procession was the largest
ever seen in Macon, Every public car¬
riage was iu line, as were nearly all of
the private conveyances. The city was
filled with visitors from all parts of Geor¬
gia. The lawyers were largely repre¬
sented.
During the morning before the servi¬
ces at the church the rtate bar associa¬
tion met and very impressive services
were held in honor of Judge Lamar.
They attended the funeral in a body.
Owing to the muddy condition of the
streets it was decided to do away with
the military feature of the parade.
The body rests in a brick vault, sunk
four feet into the ground and very
strongly constructed. In this vault is a
red cedar box in which the casket lies,
which is provided iu the case remains. it is desired The
ever after to remove
lot in which Mr. Lamar is buried is the
same which was tendered to Mrs. Jeffer¬
son Davis for the remains of the late ex¬
president of the southern confederacy.
A DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Destroys the Works Near Bessemer,
Alabama—Two Men Killed.
The Sterling dynamite plant, situated
at McAdairy, two miles from Bessemer,
Ala., exploded with terrific force early
Friday morning. Glasses rattled in the
windows in the town and buildings shook;
many people dynamite thinking it an earthquake.
At the plant trees were torn
up by the roots and great holes made in
the ground. Two of the employes were
in the composing room, where the ex¬
plosion occurred. They were instantly
killed and only small pieces of skin and
bones were found to tell of their fate.

IN CONGRESSIONAL HALLS.
Daily Routine of Both Houses ot tie
Fifty-Seconi Congress.
Measures Discussed and Bills Passed
By Our National Law-Makers,
THE SENATE.
In the senate, Thursday, on motion of
Mr. Hoar, the president was requested provide
to return to the senate the act to
for the punishment of officers on the
high seas. The house concurrent reso¬
lution for the assembling of the two
houses of congress in the hall of the
house of representatives Wednesday,
February 8, 1893 at 1 o’clock in the af¬
ternoon, pursuaut to the requirement of
the constitution and the law relating to
dent, the election of president and vice-presi¬ in.
was reported and concurred
Among tbe bills introduced and referred
was one of giving a pension of $50 a
mouth to the widow of Dr. Elisha Kent
Kane, the arctic explorer. Mr. Gorman
offered a resolution for the appointment
of a committee of three senators to make
the necessary arrangements for the inau¬
guration of the president-elect on the
4th of March next. Agreed to. Mr.
Faulkner gave notice that Saturday,
February 18ih, at 3 o’clock p. m., he
would present rsolutious in relation to
the death of his late colleague, Senator
Kenna. The credentials of Henry Cabot
Lodge, as senator from the state of Mass¬
achusetts, beginning March 4th next,
were presented and placed on file. The
bill heretofore offered by Mr. Cate to re¬
election peal all statutes relating to supervisors taken of
and special deputies was
from the table and referred to the judici¬
ary committee. Mr. Candler offered
a resolution, which was referred
to the finance committee, instruct¬
ing that committee to inquire into
the existence and purposes of the whisky
trust. An hour was devoted to the dis¬
posing of unimportant bills on the cal¬
endar, and then at 2 o’clock, the anti¬
option bill came up. There were not
many senators in the chamber during the
debate, but those who were present wit¬
nessed the remarkable circumstances of a
stale’s rights democrat—Mr. Mills, of
Texas—having his argument against the
constitutionality of the bill sustained by
the stalwart republican, Hiscock, of New
York. Mr. Blackburn, noticing the ab¬
sence of so many members asked for a roll
call. A call of the senate folowed,and,as a
quorum did not respond, the senate, at
4:45 o’clock, adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
The house journal was read Thursday
morning in an abridged form as usual,
but Mr. Kilgore demanded that it be
read in full, and the speaker directed
the clerk to comply with the demand.
Mr. Kilgore was afraid the committee on
mles would report the special order for
consideration, the bankruptery bill, but
he evidently received private intelligence
that this would not be done, for in a few
moments he withdrew his demand, re¬
marking that he did not wish to inter¬
fere with the appropriation bills if the
house desired to consider them, as it did
not seem to do Wednesday. Mr, McMil-
lin, from the committee on rules, report¬
ed back the Dockery resolution for the
appointment by the speaker of the 52d
congress of a commission of five represen¬
tatives of the 53d congress to inquire
into the status of the laws establishing
the executive departments and bureaus
in Washington city. This was accom¬
panied by a resolution referring the
Dockery proposition to the committee on
appropriations, with the authority to that
committee to bills. incorporate it in one of the
appropriate It has already been
incorporated in the legislative bill with a
modification making the composition of
the commission three senators and five
representatives. This action taken will
preclude it from being struck out on a
joint order. Toe resolution was adopted.
Mr. Dockery appropriations reported from the commit¬
tee on that the legislative
executive judicial appropriation bill had
been placed on the calendar. The house
then resumed,in committee of the whole,
the consideration of the sundry civil ap¬
propriation placed bill. the Some track few of obstructions the bill, but
were in
none of them proved disastrous, and it
made fair progress.The item of appropria¬
tion for ths survey of public lands was
^thfe chief object of attack, but Holman
kept his men in line, and amendments
looking to an increase of the appropria¬
tion for this purpose from $100,000 to
$200,000 and $869,000 were cleared by
the appropriation committee cowcatcher.
Without disposing of the bill the house
adjourned.
CAPITAL GOSSIP.
The house committee on elections,
Monday, discussed tbe contested elec¬
tion case of Miller vs. Elliott, from the
seventh South Carolina district, but
owiDg to the absence of several members
postponed final action until Friday.
The expenses of the seven cases decided
this session were considered and $10,-
500 allowed to cover them.
Saturday afternoon, in the house, was
devoted to eulogies over the late Con¬
gressman Stackhouse, of South Carolina.
Tom Watson of Georgia, and Mr. Mc-
Laurin, of South Carolina, were among
the eulogists and delivered speeches that
attracted considerable attention and was
the subject of much criticisim on the
part of the democrats of the house.
A Protest from Great Britain.
The British government has instructed
Sir Julian Pauncefote, its minister at
Washington, to protest against the
action of the United States officials and
forces in Hawaii. The protest, it is un¬
derstood, will be lodged with Secretary
of State Foster at once. To what extent
the protest goes, cannot be stated now,
whether it is restricted to a protest
against the action already taken iu
Honolulu or whether it goes to the length
of protesting in advance, against the an¬
nexation sought for by the representa¬
tives of tbe provisional government now
on their way to Washington.
Discussed by Senators.
The senate had not been in executive
session more than an hour Saturday w r hen
Mr. Morgan announced the intelligence
of the Hawaiian revolution to the senate.
Although it could only be considered iu
an informal marme^ debate was at once
precipitated that occupied the greater
part of the secret session. Generally all
seemed to favor annexation or the estab¬
lishment of a protectorate. Strong prob¬
ability of international complication
was urged in opposition to either
scheme.
In the house of representatives there
was strong feeling expressed annexation. by leading
democrats against At
same there was an equally unanimous
opinion that no other nation should be
permitted to step in and control tbe des¬
tinies of the island. The Monroe doc¬
trine was again upheld as a cardinal
principle in our foreign policy and as de-
minion maeding the exclusion of European do¬
“What over could territory so near our own
we do with it, and what a
lot of trouble its affairs would give us,”
is perhaps a fair summary of the state¬
ments made informally by members. It
was said at the same time that the course
of Hawaii in adopting and seeking an¬
nexation is practically the same as that
token by Texas when it became part of
the United States.
The Question of Annexation.
A Washington special of Monday jays:
The news of the queen’s protest against
the action of the American miuister at
Hawaii, considerably complicates the
situation wirii refereuee to annexation.
It is feared that the British government
will now try to step in os the defender of
the rights of the dethroned queen,and by
intriguing with the government which
has just been overthrown, attempt to
establishment a protectorate over the
Hawaiian islands. Although there is
faltering and hesitation on the part of
many of the conservative men at
direct Washington as to the wisdom aggressive of
annexation, any
step taken on the part of Great
Britain would stimulate the feeling in
favor of t’ue United States establishing
at least a protectorate over the islands,
which furnish the key to the control of
the northern Pacific coast. It is admit¬
ted on all hands that the question about
to be presented to the United States is
one the importance of which cannot be
overestimated, and the conduct of which
wili ri quire prompt hut delicate handling.
The mutter has been brought to the at¬
tention of congress by a resolution intro¬
duced Monday by Senator Chandler, em-
powtrii g the j r.sid nt to treat with the
Hawaiian commissioners who are en
route from San Francisco. As the qu s-
tion is purely a diplomatic one, in wnich
the United States will probably have
to conti nd w.th Great Briti m, and per¬
haps other countries, it s probable that
its discussion will go on behind closed
doors.
TRADE REVIEW.
Dun and Bradstreet’s Report for the
Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co’s, weekly review of
trade says there has been some increase
in the distribution of products during
the past week, and the demand for man¬
ufactured goods i3 distinctly larger so
that business has perceptibly improved
at many points. Yet the outgo of gold,
expected to rxceed $3,000,000, reduces
treasury resources, causes increased ner-
vousuess about the future, and renders
men more reluctant to engage in new un¬
dertakings. comparatively
Money is everywhere
easy and cheap, nevertheless there is
more sense of uncertainty about the fut¬
ure than appeared a mouth ago. Money
is in good demand, but currency return¬
ing from the country and southern cities
generally report improvement, especially
at Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville and
Memphis, with good prospects and col¬
lections. At Little Rock, trade is quiet
and collections slow, but in Atlanta bus¬
iness increases and collections are very
fair. At New Orleans trade is quiet and
money in fair demand with an ample
supply; but cotton is dull with light
receipts. Sugar is still strong; iron and
steel breaking prices, though the de¬
mand and sales are large. Bessemer pig
at Pittsburg has falleu to $13.25, and
other markets for pig are irregular,
though sales are large. Bnsiness is fin¬
ished products is very heavy, but fur
many kinds prices are lowir than ever
known. r Jhe contracts for cruisers,
given to tbe Pittsburg works, and for
elevated works he, given to a Pennsylva¬
nia mill are mentioned as remarkably
low, although structural iron works have
far more business than usual.
Business failures during the week num¬
ber for the United States, 255; Canada,
40; total 295 against 332 last week.
WHAT BRADSTREET SAYS.
Bradstreet says: The features of bus¬
iness the past week has been a gradual
return of movements of general mer¬
chandise and produce to their accustomed
channels. Boats are once more running
freely on some southern streams except
river tr: ffic between New Orleans and
the north, and at some Atlantic tide¬
water points. Produce and other per¬
ishable goods are again moving freely,
with a loss of some of the advance in
prices referred to last week, Eastern
jobbers end dry goods mills report the
beginning of what appears to be a most
active January’s demand for cotton and
woolen staple goods for years past. Cot¬
tons are slroDg, and print cloths
are firmer with the surplus cut down
to 1,000 pieces agaiGSt 248,000a jobbers year ago.
Printers are unable to furnish as
fast as goods are demanded, and Janu¬
ary’s sales promise to largely influences exceed those have
for 1892. The usual
been at work oa cotton prices. and against The
English strike, prospects for
the anti option bill and reduced or in¬
creased movements from plantations show¬ to
ports, the Det result for the week
ing a decline of one-tenth of a cent.
Considerable improvement is noted
throughout the south, where the effects
of the cold snap a week or two ago were
severe. Baltimore announces a larger
volume of orders than for the same peri¬
od in 1892, and reports that country
merchants very generally count on a
good spring trade.
The recent ice blockade having been
raised at Richmoud, orders for goods are
active with the exception of shoes; as the
demand for tobacco, while travelers for

An Expert’* Opinion.
Our readers bare doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists and
hygienists as to the relative value of the
various baking powders. A careful sifting
of the evidence leaves no doubt as to ths
superiority of the Royal Baking Powder in
purity, wholesomeness and strength, from
a scientific standpoint. An opinion, how¬
ever, that will bars perhaps greater influ¬
ence with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the well known
and popular writer, upon matters pertain¬
ing to the science of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, and of home cooking. In a
letter publL>hi*i in the Philadelphia Ladies’
Home Journal, this writer says:
“I regard the Royal Baking Powder as
the best manufactured and in the market,
«o far as I have any experience in the use of
such compounds. Since the introduction of
it into my kitchen I have used no other in
making biscuits, cakes, etc., and hare en-
tirely discarded for such purposes tbe home¬
made combination of one-third soda, two-
thirds cream of tartar.
“Every box h is been in perfect condition
wben it came into my hands, and the con-
tents have given complete satisfaction. It
is an aet of simple justice, an i a. so a pleas-
ure, to recommend it Marion unqualifiedly Harland.” to Amer-
lean housewives.
City Fanners.
While many have left the farm for’
town and city during recent years, and
and qiany business men of means have
invested iu farms, ytt only a c >mpara-
tively small number of city men have
actually gone out ou the farm and hus¬
tled for a living. These have been mainly
men who have broken down under the
confinement of office work and have
sought the country for health’s sake,some
without experience in farm affairs, and
others returning to the farm after many
years of active business life. Experienced
farmers have had a good deal of lun out of
the blunders of these “embroidered night¬
shirt farmers,” as Bill Nye calls them,
yet as a rule the city farmers have been
fairly successful, and some of them ex¬
ceptionally so. With a limited knowl¬
edge farm of methods, and sometimes
handicapped by poor health, they have
succeeded where many “to the manner
born” have failed, Whether this is the
result of superior business methods, or
better knowledge of the demands of
consumers through residence in the city,
or what not, the fact remains, and it may
be profitable for others to look into the
causes of this success and apply the win-
ning methods to their own affairs.—Na-
tional Stockman.
At it Again.
“The clove,” said the exchange editor,
“is probably the strongest thing of its
size-”
“Isn’t the nutmeg greater?” broke in
the financial editor.
“You think so,” retorted the other,
glaring at him, “because it bears the
mace?”
“Such talk as that,” thundered the
railway editor, grabbing his cane, “I dc-
spicel”—Chicago Tribune.
Slight Misunderstanding.
Mudge—“I was looking over my top
coat today, and I find that the moths
have nearly ruined it.”
Yabsley—‘ Why don’t you sue them
for damages?”
“Sue the moths for damages? You talk
like a child.”
“Ididn’t mean the moths; I meant the
pawnbrokers.”—Indianapolis Journal.
Baking Powder is absolutely pure. No other equals
it, or approaches it in leavening strength, purity, or
wholesomeness. (See U. S. Gov’t Reports.) No other
is made from cream of tartar specially refined for it and
chemically pure. No other makes such light, sweet,
finely-flavored, and wholesome food. No other will
maintain its strength without loss until used, or will
make bread or cake that will keep fresh so long, or
that can be eaten hot with impunity, even by dyspeptics.
No other is so economical.
The Baking Powders now being offered in this
vicinity, with the statement that they are “ as good as
Royal,” have been shown by the official analyses to be
composed of alum and detrimental to health.
jThe official chemists of the United States and Can¬
ada, State analysts, municipal boards of health, and
physicians indorse the great qualities of the Royal
Baking Powder.

Petrified Wood.
On a farm near E kt«m, Columbiana
county, Ohio, an extraordinary find ol
petrified wood has been umarthed.
It is a solid piece, weighing 418 pounds,
on the smooth surface of which appear
the outlines of several diff-rent specie?
of animals, as' if traced by human hands,
Geologists are said to have examined the
nature of the petrifac ion, and to have
agreed that its formation dates back
3,500 years by the most cons<rvative ca’cu-
lation. It was unearthed by ditchers in
a mucky swamp. Several agents of the
Ohio commission are also said to have
examined the strange object, and are
proposing to utilize it to add to the in¬
terest of Ohio’s exhibit at tne world’s
fair.
To Remove Marks from Tables.
Hot dishes sometimes leave w’hitish
marks on varnished tables, when set, as
they should not be, carelessly upon them.
For removing them pour some lamp-oil
on the spot and rub it hard with a soft
cloth, Pour on a little spirits, and rub it
hard with another cloth, and the whole
mark will disappear, leaving the table as
bright as before.
Easily Started.
