The news that President Cleveland
had not called upon the infanta in re
turn of the infanta’s visit to the white
house made an unpleasant feeling in
Havana, and the public journals com
plain of President Cleveland’s attitude
toward the royal guest.
On Tuesday presidential postmasters
were appointed as follows: Wallace
W. Screws, at Montgomery, Alabama,
vice C. W. Buckley, removed. Harri
son W. Clark, at Jacksonville, Fla.,
vice P. E. McMurray, removed. An
drew J, Sturgis at Crystal Springs,
Miss., reappointed.
Another democratic editor has been
given a position of honor by President
Cleveland. This time it is Hon. Wm.
E. Quincy, editor of the Detroit Free
Press, and he has been appointed min
ister to the Netherlands. Mr. Quinby
is the editor-in-chief and principal
proprietor of the Free Press, with
which paper he has been connected
for thirty-three years. He is a native
of Maine and fifty-five years of age.
The free gold in the treasury Mon
day, according to the .treasurer’s book,
is §2,240,000, but this does not take
into consideration the gold shipped
from New York last Saturday. When
this is subtracted the gold reserve of
$100,000,000 will still remain intact,
but the margin will be thin. The
week ojiened with large receipts, and
it is probable that the debt statement
on Juue 1st will make a better exhibit
than' the May statement.
The department of ' agriculture has
received 'advices from Copenhagen,
Denmark, the effect that Mr. F. An
derson, a.lkrge importer of food pro-
.ductstin that.city, has sent an order to
the United States for considerable
consignment of . California canned and
preserved fruits. . This, the depart
ment is informed, is one of the imme
diate results of the recent corn banquet
given by the agent of the agricultural
department at Copenhagen.
Some of the New York papers Thurs
day printed a statement tothe effect
that Mr. Cleveland intended to call an
extra session of congress by the first
of August. Mr. Cleveland was asked
about the matter by. several congress
men. He replied that it was news to
him, as he has stated several times be
fore he intended' to call an extra ses
sion about the 10th of September. He
sees no reason why it should be called
previous to that time.
The navy department, Tuesday, com
pleted arrangements for conveying the
Columbus caravels, the Santa Maria,
Pinta and Nina, from New York to
Chicago. They will be towed from
New York to the mouth of the St.
Lawrence, and from there to Chicago.
The service will cost about §5,000.
Commodore Erben will arrange for
their trip to the mouth of the St. Law
rence, and the consul nt Montreal will
make arrangements for their cruise
from there to Chicago.
A dinner was given Tuesday night
by the president and Mrs. Cleveland
to the Infanta Eulalie which was made
an occasion of much dignity. The
white house conservatories had been
fafrly depleted to furnish rare flowers
for the decoration of the table and the
apartment where the dinner took place.
The large state dining room was used
and it never looked so brilliant or
tastefully arranged. The entire lower
floor—the cast room, the blue room,
red room, green room and private cor
ridors were decorated profusely.
President Cleveland has approved
the deeds of the Choetow arid Chicka
saw nations for their right and titles
to leased lands in the Indian territory,
formerly occupied by the Cheyennes
and Arapahoe Indians, but now con
stituting a portion of Oklahoma terri
tory, for which the sum of §2,991,450
was appropriated by the Indian ap
propriation act of March 3, - 1891.
These nations were required to execute
releases and conveyances to extinguish
their claim in a manner and form sat
isfactory to the president. President
Harrison declined to approve the deeds
submitted for release of the lands.
The approval of President Cleveland
makes the appropriation immediately
available, and the money will be paid
to the accredited agents of the Choc
taw and Chickasaw nations.
In certain quarters, some questions
has been raised •as’K? the -competency
of Mr. Blount to discharge the duties
of United States minister to Hawaii,
owing to the peculiar circumstances
surrounding his appointment, which,
of course, involve the validity and
force of all that he has done. Inquiry
at the department of state es
tablishes clearly the fact that
these,-. ’ at. least no doTibt - is
entertained in respect' to these points.
As soon as Mr. Blount receives notiqs
of his appointment, wliieh, v.by
the way, will be as “enyoy extraordi
nary and mimgter plenipotentiary to
the conrt of Hawaii,’’ he may go be
fore the nearest United States consu
lar officer and take the oath of office.
From that moment his salary as min
ister begins.
There has.been some speculation fin
naval circles as -to the purpose of Sec
retary Herbert in bringing, the San
.at—i . .'oiu me Pacific ana
making her flagship cl the North At
lantic squadron just nt this time when
the policy of the department appears
to be to distribute the new vessels
among the foreign stations. The rea
son is that the secretary is very proiid
of the beautiful white .cruiser, and
wishes her to take the position of flag
ship of the North Atlantic squadron,
for which she is admirably fitted so
far ns interior accommodations are
concerned, in order that in that con
spicuous place she might be an ever
present evidence not only to visiting
foreigners, but to the people of the
east of the excellent naval construc
tion that is possible on the Pacific
coast.

Assistant Attorney General Colby
made his report Wednesday on the
weather bureau investigation. He re
cites a long story' of official abuses
which flourished under Secretary
Busk. Amou'g other -things he makes
the following startling statement: ‘ ‘It
appears that there are certain officials
in the weather bureau whose duties
are merely nominal, and whose time
is mainly occupied in -the pursuit of
orivate business. There are observers
and assistants whose time is only part
ly taken up with official work, but
who are paid full salaries. An or
dained minister of the gospel, whose
talents are largely devoted to his du
ties as assistant rector in a prominent
church, is carried on the rolls of this
bnrean as professor of meteorology at
a salary of §3,000 per annum. Some
of the employes have personal habits
which unfit them during a considera
ble portion of the time for their offi
cial work. Two of the observers have,
during the past few months, been
placed under medical treatment for
habitual drunkenness and their places
in the meantime supplied by addition
al employes.”
TRADE TOPICS. L
Dun & Co- Report Bnsiness as Not so
Good.
R. G. Dun & Co. 's weekly review of
trade says: Stocks have rallied from
the extreme depression, but business
shows no substantial improvement.
The distribution of products to final
consumers is rather less encouraging,
though the weather has been generally
more favorable, and at some points
helps the retail trade. Wholesale bus
iness and production shows each week
more hesitation with regard to the
crops next fall, the possibilities of the
tariff changes and money uncertain
ties. Some large failures and many
of minor importance'"show the effects
of the increasing stringency in money
markets, and while money is com
paratively easy at New York,
the pressure at other points has
increased. Almost everywhere collec
tions are slow and doubt about the fu
ture affects new undertakings, al
though the present volume of trade,
baaed upon past orders, is remarkably
strong. The money position is easier
than for some wueks paBt, but exports
■of gold have notably increased. Ex
ports of products in April were in
value only $<10,012,080, a decrease of
more than $15,300,000, while imports
were §84,991,092, an increase of
§8,000,000. Excess of imports for the
month was §24,378,412 and for four
months of the current year $86,233,-
913. Iu two weeks in .May exports
have been but slightly decreased while
imports have been $0,200,090 greater
than last year. In such conditions, it
is not strange that a large amount of
gold has gone abroad this week and
§2,250,000 has been ordered for ship
ment. The extraordinary bank fail
ures in Australia, involving deposits
already amounting to more than §420,-
000,000';;-of which over §125,000,000
was -due to British depositors, caused
-much realizing on securities and
merchandise, the effects of which are
felt in Americ an markets. Neverthe
less, stock has been decidedly stronger
this week with healthy American buy
ing.
Chicago reports improved retuil and
factory wholesale trade, with liquida
tion and lower prices for local securi
ties and slow collections; eastbonnd
rail shipments are larger, but wheat is
at the lowest price for thirty years.
Milwaukee trade improves, but money
is very tight. St. Paul reports fair
trade with money close. At St. Louis
trade is satisfactory. At Kan
sas city trade is fair with money closer.
At St. Joseph trade is improving, but
at Denver business is slow. At
Louisville the money market has im
proved. At Knoxville Trade is Slug
gish. At Memphis quiet and at Nash
ville somewhat better. At Augusta
there is no improvement. At Colum
bus trade is a little off and money
tight, but at Atlanta business is satis
factory. Macon reports moderate
trade, New Orleans reports a quiet
trade with much apprehension of floods;
cotton depressed; sugar weaker, and
money in increased demand. Wheat
1 1-2 cents lower with sales of 23,-
000,000 bushels for the week. Corn
l-8c and oats l-2c lower. Pork pro
ducts slightly higher-and cotton un
changed. While the great industries
are well employed thus far, orders for the
future are growing more scanty. The
iron trade is Weaker, southern forced
sales depressing the price. No im
provement is seen in bar iron, Pitts
burg having taken contracts nt amaz
ingly low prices, while structural iron
is lower than ever.
Business failures number 247 in the
United States against 166 for the same
week last year and fourteen in Canada
(gpinst twenty-three last year.
VINCENT PARDONED.
Alabama’s Defaulting Treasurer Ex
cites the Pity of Governor Jones.
A Montgomery, Ala., special Bays:
Ex-State Treasurer Ike H. Vincent is
a free man. On Tuesday Governor
Jones granted him a full and absolute
pardon. Twenty-five thousand people
petitioned for his pardon, including
103 of 133 members of the general as
sembly.
It is one of the most famous eases in
the criminal anuals of the state. Vin
cent while state treasurer speculated
in the state funds and defaulted for
§215,000.
The governor’s pardon makes several
thousand words. The governor dwells
upon the;enwgiity of the crime with
which Vincent stands convicted and
does not exotse ilie wrong committed’
in speculating iii funds with which he
was intrust d, but adds that though he
had misused over §200,000 of the peo
ple^ money, he was not a wholly
hardened criminal, as when he left he.
had ample opportunity to take much,
of the §167,000, which he left in the
treasury undisturbed, when the . de
nomination of many of the. hiils was
so large that he might have easily
taken off thousands of dollars " in his
vest pocket.
After an exhaustive review of- the
crime, the return of the”fugitive •frnm
justice, who voluntarily gave him
self up, the'trial, the conviction and
his subsequent six years’ puuisment
while diseased in body and wretched
in mind, the governor concludes ns fol
lows:
Even an Almighty Go 1. who juice’ wrth an
unerring right; does mot proclaim the doe rine
of condemnation beyend pardon. What deitv
will not do, wha’ the laws of the state have not
done, I dare not do. I cannot shrink from the
duty which my conscience imposes after reach
ing the conclusion that all the ends of punish
ment have been attained, by bonding the pris-
r's offense beyond pardon.
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.
Drexul
Morgan & Co. Present tie De
tails of tie Scheme
To Place the Rickmond Terminal on a
Solid Financial Footing.
BIG BLAZE IN SAGINAW.
mm
The Fairest Portion of the City Com
pletely Wiped Out.
A little spark and a strong southwest
gale Saturday afternoon between 4 and
7 o’clock resulted in a very destructive
fire at Saginaw, Mich. In that time
the Work qf years of toil were destroyed
and the fairest portion of Saginaw was
left a mass of smoldering ashes and
debris. The fire started in Sample &
Camp’s mill plant, then communicated
to the eastern end of the Bristol street
bridge, thence northeast from the cor
ner of Tilden and Bristol streets for a
distance of a mile in length and four
and five blocks in width. Many man
ufacturing plants were destroyed, and
a large number of dwellings. The
losses will reach nearly a million and
a half dollars, with probably an insur
ance of §700,000.
A New York special says: On Tues
day Drexel, Morgau A Co. handed
down the prescription which they
have drawn up as the proper dose to
place the Bichmond Terminal again on
a sound footing. Their plan differs
from the Olcott plan in that the junior
securities, ot the later bond issue and
the security stock issue, stand the
brunt of the pruning, and the under
lying securities are in many cases un
reliable and allowed to run to matur
ity;
Drexel-, Morgan A- Co. announce
that they have formed a syndicate to
underwrite the plan. If the security
holders who hc.ve deposited their hold
ings unconditionally desire to with
draw they can do so on or before May
31st, but all securities withdrawn will
not participate in the reorganization.
DETAILS OF THE SCHEME.
The details of the scheme are as fol
lows :
The Bichmond Terminal company,
Richmond and Danville system and
East Tennessee system are to be reor
ganized, about six thousand miles of
railway in all. The Georgia^ Central
is not included, although' the interest
in that system must be protected. The
reorganization proposes to bring the
entire 6,000 miles under one new rail
way company, preserving, however,
local independence in all matters re
lating to operating and traffic and to
reduce charges to §6,789,000. The
capital of the new company outstand
ing on the completion of the reorgan
ization is expected to be about §20,000
bonds per mile of rnilroad owned or
controlled; §10,000, preferred stock;
find §25,000, common stock.
The proposed new fixed charges (in
cluding rental paid by Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific) are es
timated at under §1,150 per mile. The
new securities are to be $140,000,000
first consolidated mortgage 5 per cent
bonds; §75,000,0005perccnt non-cum-
uiative prefercd stock ;and$160,000,000
common stock. It is estimated that
out of this total §35,883,000 in bonds
will be reserved by the new company
under property restriction to be used
only for new construction, betterments'
purchases of rolling stock and tbe ex
tension of and additions to the system.
Not over §2,500,000 to be use.d in any
one calendar year except that in addi
tion to this annual appropriation, a
total of §3,000,000 bonds may be spe
cifically appropriated, with the unani
mous consent of the stock trustees for
the building of branches or extensions
if undertaken within three years after
the creation of the new mortgage. All
property acquired with these bonds or
their proceeds tobe brought under the
lieu of the mortgage. Additional
bonds may be issued to acquire the
Cincinnati Southern railway, now rent
ed, or additional interests in the Geor
gia Central.
There also will be- a reserve of about
§15,000,000. Drexel, Morgan & Co.
will take their compensation, except
§100,000 to cover their office expense
entirely from the new common stock
at §15 per share, about §750,000 net.
Sveh bonds as are earning their in
terest are not disturbed at all. Enough
new bonds (in addition to the §35,383,
000) will be reserved to pay them all
at maturity.
The assessment on Terminal com
mon stock is §12.50 per share. East
Ten n< Eiec stocks are also assessed.
THE BASIS OF ADJTSTiffEXT.
The following is the basis of- adjust
ment with the Richmond and West
Poiut Terminal security holders in se
ccrities of the new company:
Six per cent Terminal bonds to re
ceive 35 per cent in new 5 per cent
bonds bearing interest from July 1,
1893; 65 per cent in new preferred
stock.
"Five per cent Terminal bonds to re
eeive 70 per cent new preferred stock;
30 per cent new common stock.
Terminal preferred stock, 35 per
cent new preferred stock; 65 per cent
new common stock.
Terminal common stock,oil payment
of an assessment of §12,50 per share,
to receive 12 1-2 per cent now prefer
red stock ; 100 per cent new common
stock. The plan provides—'cn-sh- from
assessments, the Terminal stock cover
ing that company’s holdings of Rich
mond and Danville and East Tennes
see slock, §8,750,000; assessments on
East Tennessee stock held by the pub
lic,, §2,700,000 ; sale of $33,333,000
new common stock, §5,000,000; sale of
§8,000,000 new bonds, §6,000,000;
total $23*250,000.
The cash expenditures are estimated
at: For floating debts and equip
ment notes as estimated January 1,
1893, $12,900,000; new construction
and equipment on Richmond and Dan
ville and East Tennessee system, esti
mated during two years, say §8,000,-
000, leaving to provide for the expense.
..of reorganization and for any eontin
geueies surplus to be available for the
general purpose of the new eompanv,
§2,350,000. Total §23,250,000.
A GUARANTEE SYNDICATE. •
A syndicate of §16,000,000 has been
formed to guarantee subscriptions ‘bv
security holders for $33,333,000 com
mon stock of the company nt §15 per
share, aud for §8,000,000 of the new
company’s 5 per cent bonds at 35 per
cent and accrued interest, and to take
the place aud to succeed to the rights
of any holder of the Richmond Ter
minal common stock " and the East
Tennessee stocks, who shall not de
posit their stock and pay the assess
ment thereof.
The feature of the plan is the large
amount of cash it raises, §23,350,000,
of which only §6,800,000 comes from
selling bonds. All the rest is Horn
6tock assessments and the sale of new
common stock. The plan looks for
eaily dividends on the new preferred
stock. The earnings of 1891 would
pay 4 per cent on the new preferred
stock. Eight millions in actual money
is to be spent at once for the new con
struction, equipment, etc. The other
feature of the plan is that it provides
ample means for all future needs.
All the railways will have to he
foreclosed and foreclosure suits will be
vigorously pressed. Those ccnvereant
with the reorganization and its pros
pects figure the new preferred stock at
60. The syndicate guarantees, a sale
of 88,000,000 of the bonds at 85 per.
cent, and of §33,333,000 common
s'oek at §15 per share, so the minimum
wine of those securities is fixed.
Figuring the new preferred stoc-k as
1 >w as 50 per cent. Terminal securi
ties are worth to-day about 75 per
nt. for the sixes, 39 per cent, for the
fives, 28 per cent, for the preferred
stock and 8 3-4 per cent, for the com
mon stock,
THE BEOSGAXIZATION COMMITTEE,
The reorganiza tion will be conducted
under the supervision of Drexel, Mor
gan & Co., through a committee con
sisting of Messrs. C. H. Coster, George
Sherman and A. J. Thomas. Drexel,
Morgan <fe Co. have so much faith in
the future of this enterprise that they
put two-thirds of the new money be
hind most of the present investment.
EULALIE LEAVES WASHINGTON
Bound for New York City Where a Roy
al Welcome Awaits Her,
The Infanta Eulalie left Washington
at 10 o’clock Thursday morning on a
special train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad for New York. The Infanta
rode to the station in the president’s
carriage, drawn by four large bay
horses and preceeded by an escort of
four troops of United States cavalry.
Prince Antoine and Secretary Gresham
occupied seats in the carriage with the
princess, and other members of the
party followed in other carriages. The
station was packed with multitudes of
spectators. As the train pulled out,
every woman waved her handkerchief,
every man waved his hat and cheered,
and the Infanta smiled and bowed
farewell to Washington,
AERIVAL AT NEW" YORK.
Awaiting the infanta’s arrival
New York was a special committee
who:escorted her to a. carriage, which
she entered, followed by her husband,
Commander Davis and General Porter.
Other members of her suite got into a
second carriage and then both carri
ages were drived down to the wharf,
where the steamboat General Slocum
was moored. • When the party had
boarded the steamer the British war
ship that had been anchored off the
north pier early in the day began fir
ing a national salute of twenty-one
guns. As the sloeum left the pier the
entire party took seats on the forward
deck. During the sail up the river
the party received an ovation, salutes
being exchanged with hundreds of
river crafts.
The Slocum continued down the
river to Thirty-fourth street, where a
landing Was made. On the pier was
troop A, the crack cavalry regiment of
New York, which was to act as a guard
of honor to.,i^ie infanta. A detail of
fifteen men of the" mounted police
formed an advice guard. The proces
sion, headed by the mounted band,
inarched along Thirty-fourth street to
Fifth avenue, to the Hotel Savoy,
Along the entire route the princess re
ceived a most enthusiastic reception,
which she most gracefully acknowl
edged. The streets were lined with
people, and from the windows of many
of .the houses the Spanish and Ameri
can nags were flying.
THE MAYOR’S WELCOME.
When the party had reached the re
ception room of the hotel Mayor Gil
roy advanced to the infanta and her
husband and extended to them hearty
welcome. The princess replied very
quietly and• with marked accent: “I
am very much pleased at the gracions-
ness Qf the reception, and can find
nothing to say except to thank you.”
A few of the committee on hand were
presented, General Yarnnm giving the
names to Commander Davis, who re
peated them to the infant-a and her
husband. The infanta expressed her
self as charmed with “beautiful Wash
ington” and her treatment thus far in
America. The party then went to
their apartments that had been re
served for them.

WHISKEY STOCK GOES DOWN
Because of the Withdrawal of Several
Members of the Trust.
A New York special says: The
withdrawal of five distillers from the
whiskey trust caused a break in the
stock Monday of the latter from 17 3-8
to 13. Transactions were on a larger
scale and the dealings were attended
with much excitement. The general
list was weak and declined a fourth to
1 per cent. At 10:10 o’clock whiskey
was quiet at 15. Toward 11 o’clock
the market began to strengthen and
prices moved up all along the line.
•Some good buying orders were exe
cuted for the account of operators who
feel that the gold report movement
has been discounted and who do not
bother with the gyrations in Distilling
and Cattle Feeding. In fact, some
contend that IVoolner and others can
not legally withdraw from the com
bination.
A Chicago special says: Regarding
the withdrawal of the IVoolner, Man
hattan, Northern and Peoria Distillery
Companies from the whisky trust, it
is intimated that if the management
attempts to bring action in the courts
the court will hold both in pari delicatn.
That is, where both parties are in the
wrong, the court will not help either
and throw the case out of court.

Notes ot Her Progress and Prosperity
Briefly Epitomized
And Important Happenings from Day
to Day Tersely Told.
TWO BETTER THAN ONE,
Teacher—We must have been taught
to forgive those who despitefully use us,
but when Johnny Muggs hit you, what
did you do?
Boy—I—I hit him back; but that was
only so he’d have something to forgive,
too,—. r Good y«ws-
An order was filed in the United
States court at Savannah Monday au
thorizing the examination of Mrs.
Rowena M. Clarke, of Charleston, be
fore a master in chancery by the at
torneys for President Walter G. Oak-
man, of the Richmond Terminal.
Once again the wind has swooped
down Louisville, Ky. A cyclone struck
the city at midnight, Monday night,
and dwellings were ruined, streets
were filled with the wreckage of roofs;
with broken and uprooted trees; with
remnants of walls and twisted wires.
No lives are known to be lost and few
injuries rceeived.
The county whisky board met at
Charleston, S. C., Thursday. A form
of petition was adopted for the ap
pointment of state barkeepers and the
board decided that these petitions
must- l>e sent in before June 5th. The
board also decided that each petition
must be signed by a majority of the
freehold voters of the city.
Judge H. C. Roney Wednesday ren
dered his decision in the Port Royal
and Augusta railroad receivership ease.
The judge granted the petition of the
complainants, Henry B. King and
others, and appointed Colonel J. H.
Averill permanent receiver of the road
and named Major W. T. Gary and Mr.
Boykin Wright, both of Augusta, as
counselors for the receiver.
The Radford Pipe and Foundry Com
pany, of Anniston, Ala., are negotiat
ing for and will probably secure a big
order for pipe from Jerusalem. The
bill will be a very large one, as among
other lines to be laid is one from Joppa
to Jerusalem of thirty-inch main. An
agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad, left Thursday
for -Jerusalem to route the order.
A Nashville special says: The Du
bose impeachment trial is dragging to
a close. For three days there has been
no sensational testimony and short ses
sions have been held because all the
witnesses on hand had been examined.
On Thursday the defense announced
that all their evidence was in, and af
ter the prosecution offers a few wit
nesses in rebuttal the argument will
begin.
At Dallas, Texas,Wednesday, 25,000
people celebrated the opening of the
navigation on the Trinity river, from
Dallas to the sea, the occasion being
the arrival of the Harvey steamboat of
500 bales of cotton capacity. People
from all parts of Texas were on hand.
Speeches were made by the leading
men of the state. The demonstrations
were the greatest ever seen in Texas.
It included a procession fivo miles
long of all classes of business.
The North Carolina Confederate
Monument Association was formally
organized at Raleigh, Thursday, in
accordance with the terms of a charter
granted by the legislature. The asso
ciation has received §10,000 from the
state treasurer, which was appropria
ted by the last legislature for a confed
erate monument in Capitol square.
Several designs of the monument are
submitted. Ten thousand dollars will
be raised privately.
A Richmond, Ya., dispatch states
that in view of the recent heavy lessee
by fire a representative of the South
ern Tariff Association has been in
Richmond for some time raising the
insurance rates. On Monday he com

some cases to double the old rates,
while on residential property of the
more substantial kind a reduction has
been made.
Judge R. F. Lyon, one of the most
prominent jurists in Georgia, died at
Macon, Ga., Thursday morning, after
a long illness. Judge Lyon was well
known among lawyers throughout the
south. Twenty-five years ago he was
an associate of Linton Stephens, C. J.
Jenkins and J. H. Lumpkin upon the
supreme bench of Georgia. For many
years he was counsel for the Central
railroad, and in both capacities was a
power in the law. At the time of his
death he was seventy-five years old.
A fire in Winston, N. C,, Tuesday,
destroyed property worth in the ag
gregate over §200,000. The fire throws
over five hundred people out of em
ployment. P. H. Hanes & Co., the
mammoth plug and twist factory, the
second largest building of its kind iri
the south, was destroyed with the ex
ception of the manufacturing storage
department. One hundred and thirty-
five pounds of leaf in another brick
building was destroyed by fire. It
was owned by W. B. Ellis, a manufac
turer.
Monday afternoon a tornado passed
from the northwest in a southeasterly
direction, about two miles north of

Bailey seriously injured. The houses
of William G. Kruze, Ed Howe and
E. C. King were destroyed. The tim

eled.
A Savannah, Ga., special of Monday
says: The Standard Oil Company has,
without a doubt, absorbed the Tide-
Water Oil Company. It has been
rumored for some time that changes
were being made, and the rumor was
confirmed by a statement from one of
the officials in Savannah. Very .little
known of the deal, except so
far as the Georgia part of the concern
is known. The Southern Tide-Water
Oil Company was capitalized at $100,-
000, backed by the Tide-Water Pipe
Company, of New York.
It Is Not

pany. One hundred and fifty horses
were burned to a crisp, and the entire
lot of buggies, phaetons and other
vehicles, harness, etc., were destroyed.

“Have been suffering for 2 years past with
Nervous Prostration which was brought
on by a very severe attack of grip. Had

now taken, on the recommendation of my
druggist, 3 bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
What 5 doctors of both Boston and this c.ty

Home Decoration.
Try to make your home beautiful.
Cleanliness is always attractive, but it
is not quite enough; too often cleanli
ness is also barrenness. Be ns com
fortable as you can. Don’t buy a chair
because you think it pretty unless you
can sit comfortable in it, but chairs
both pretty anil easy can be had at
no high price. At the same time try
to study your furniture and make it
harmonize as far as possible. Don’t
buy red upholstered chairs for a room
with a green carpet; get your chairs
of a soft wood-brown, which will
blend into the color of the carpet,
and use a paper of soft, indistinct col
oring, that will not force itself upon
notice. For a bright, well-lighted
room, good etchings or engravings are
the beRt adornments for the wall.
Don’t cover the walls with creations in
hair, wax, worsted or cardboard.
These things do very well in their
places, but poorly out of them. One
good picture helps the appearance of
a room more than a dozen knick-
knacks of the kind refered to, and
will cost no more. A little thought
and a little planning, as you furnish
your home a piece or two at a time,
will result in a harmony that will al
ways delight yon.
How to Crystallize Grasses.
A Few Literary Suggestions.
If you are down with the blues react
the twenty-seventh Psalm.
If there is a chilly sensation about
the heart, read the third chapter of
Revelations.
If yon don’t know where to look fol
the month’s rent, read the thirty-sev
enth Psalm.
If you feel lonesome and unprotect
ed, read the ninety-first Psalm.
If the stove-pipe has fallen down
and the cook gone off in a pet, put up
the pipe, wash your hands, and read
the third chapter of James.
If you find yourself loosing confi
dence in men, read the thirteenth-
chapter of first Corinthians.
If people pelt you with hard words,
read the fifteenth chapter of John.
If you are getting discouraged about
your work, read Psalm cxxvi and Gala
tians vi, 7-9.
If you are all out of sorts, read the
twelfth chapter of Hebrews. — The
Bible Pearler.
Somnambulism.
Somnambulism? What is it? Did
you ever walk in your sleep? If so,
you know just about as much about
this strange use of the faculties and
senses of the mind and the body as
does the average physician. Som
nambulism has been a mystery and a
matter of discussion to the medical
profession since the days of the an
cients. They knew as well as we all
now know that there is such a thing as
somnambulism or walking in the sleep.
They attempted to explain it just ns
modern medical science has been en
deavoring to explain it ever since.
But as it was then so it is now ; there
are so many explanations that even
the physician is puzzled to decide
which to accept.—AV. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Very pretty mantle ornaments may
be made by gathering clusters of the
various field grasses at the season of
their greatest beauty, and cyrstalliz-
ing them in alum water. All that is
necessary is alum, water and an earthen
jar large enough to hold the grasses.
Dissolve the alum in cold water (a
pound to a quart) and warm it slightly.
Tie the grass, which must be well dried,
to a stick, and lay the stick across the
top of the jar, so that the grass will be
submerged. Keep in a cool place for
twelve hours without moving. Take
out the grass and hang it up to dry.
If necessary repeat this twice or thrice.
Water may be colored with indigo,
Prussian red, or saffron tea, if desired.
Close Observation.
Teacher—“Now you see why some
substances absorb moisture. Can any
of yon name a substance which so easi
ly absorbs moisture that it is nearly
always dam))?”
Boy—“I-can.”
Teacher—“Good. Nothing pleases
me more than an evidence of careful
observation. What is it, Johnny?”
Boy— “Mud.” —Street & Smith’s
Good News.
A Garbled Advertisement.
In her advertisement the lady prin
cipal of a school mentioned her lady
assistant and the “reputation for
teaching which she bears,” but the
printer left out the “which,” so the
advertisement went forth commending
the lady’s “reputation for teaching
she bears.”—London Tirl-Bits.
Brighest Part of My Trip.
The New York fashion correspondent of a
Southern paper gives out the following :
A lady writes : “ I have read your letters
for a long time, and have often envied you
the opportunity you enjoy of seeing Ihe beau
tiful things you describe. I used to think,
when I read of those charming dresses and
parasols and hats at Lord & 1 aylor s, that
theirs must be one of those stores where a
timid, nervous woman like mj’self, having but
a few- dollars to spare for a season’s outfit,
would be of so little account that she would
receive little attention ; but when you said,
in one of your letters a few months ago, that
goods of the same quality were really -d raper
there than elsewhere, because they sold more
goods in their two stores than any other firm
in New York, and that because they sold more
they bought more, and cqu * uently bought
cheaper, I determined, if I er went to New
York, I would go to Lord A aylor s.
“ That long-waited-for tim came in the
early autumn, and I found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those won
derful windows at either side. I summoned
my courage and entered, as I suppose tens of
thousands of just such timid women as I
have done before. My fears were gone in an
instant. The agreeable attention put me al
my ease at once, and I felt as much at home
as though I were in the little country s(ore
where my people have ‘ traded ’ for near)v- ^
quarter of a century. _ >
" And now, as I wear the pretty things I
purchased, or see them every day and find
them all so satisfactory, I think of my visit
to this great store as the brightest part of ray
trip to New York.”
Circumstances Alter Cases.
•Miss DePink—“Why have you
again asked me to marry you? I told
you emphatically, three months ago,
that I could never love you.”
Suitor—“Y-e-s, but I’ve fallen heir
to a fortune since then.”—New York
Weekly.
On Time,
And v'ery early too. That’s wliat any one
should be in treating oneself for inaction of

site stimulation tothe organs without excit
ing them, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Don’t delav: kidney inaction and disease are
not far apart. For fever and ague, dyspeps a,
constipation, rheumatism and nerve debility,
also, use the Bitters.

If some grocers urge another baking
powder upon you in place of the * ‘ Royal, ’ ’
it is because of the greater profit upon it.
This of itself is evidence of the supe
riority of the “Royal.” To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost
powder, and to cost less it must be made
with cheaper and inferior materials, and
thus, though selling for the same, give
less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most
wholesome food, be sure that no substi
tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted
