THE VIENNA PROGRESS. TEEMS, $1. Per Aimnm. Hew to the Line, Let the Chips Fall Where They May.” JNO. E. HOWELL. Lacy a. morqan. ^ VOL. XT., NO 49. VIENNA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1893. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. EITEA SESSION CALLED.!throughout the south. FIRST MONDAY IN AUGUST IS THE DATE. HEWS FROM WASHINGTON. The President Issues a Proclam ation Convening Congress And There in Great Rejoicing Conse quent Up >n tho Act. Notes ot Her Progress and Prosperity Briefly Epitomized And Important Happenings from Day to Day Tersely Told. A Washington special says: The president late Friday afternoon issued his proclamation calling congress to meet in extraordinary session on Mon day, August 7tli. This action was taken after a pro longed session of tho cabinet at which there was warm discussion and wido difference of opinion. The president finally ended tho matter by taking practically his own course. The pressure for an earlier session has been growing stronger daily and since the action in India, it has been unprecedented. Tho pressure came from all parts of tho country and par ticularly from the region cast of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio. It included all classes of business, bank ers, manufacturers, merchants, in fact, every one to whom credit is a neces sity. It was particularly insistent from New York, both state and city. From New York city there came not only letters and telegrams from individuals and resolutions from commercial bod ies, but leading business men who en joyed the acquaintance of Mr. Cleve land, came in person to urge the ab solute business necessity of a session earlier than September. This action has been favorably re ceived at Washington by men of all shades of opinion, even those opposed to. the repeal of the Sherman law, feeling that it is just as well that the issue should be met. There are not enough representatives and senators now in Washington to indicate defi nitely what the action' of congress will be. If is regarded as certain that tho repeal of the measure will pass the house, and that the final battle will be fought in the senate where the silver men are proportionately much stronger than they are in the other body. The determination to call an extra session tho first week in August in stead of the first week in September, it is understood, was' only arrived at the cabinet meeting Friday morning giving full weight to the telegrams re ceived from all parts of tkecountry urging this course. Another consideration which caused the to change his mind was foresn^Wwed in a remark made by one of his cabinet ofiicers two days ago, that if the president received reasonable assurance that there.was a likelihood of a prompt re peal of tho so-called Sherman silver purchase law he might be disposed to call congress together earlier than he hiul announced. It is inferred from tin] fact that the president has done so that he considers ho has obtained the assurance that he desired. THE PROCLAMATION. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., .Tune 30, 1893.—Whereas, The dis trust and apprehension concerning tho financial.situation which pervades all business circles havo already caused great loss and damage to our mer chants and threaten disaster, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and privation to our farmers and withhold from our working-men tho wage of labor, and, Whereas, The present perilous con dition is largely the result of a finan cial policy which the executive branch of the government finds embodied .iii unwise laws which must be executed until repealed by consent; Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, in per formance of a constitutional duty, do by this proclamation declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the convening of both houses of the con gress at the capitol, in the city of Washington, on the SEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST next, at noon, that the people may be relieved through legislation of the present impending danger and distress. All those entitled to act as members of tho fifty-third congress are required to take notice of this proclamation and attend at the time and place above stated. Given undeT my hand and the seal of the United States in the city of Washington, on the thirtieth day of June, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence one hundred and seventeenth. - Gkovek Cleveland. SILVER MINES CLOSE. Tk’ Fall in the Price of Silver Causes ^ Dismay to Mine Owners. Dispatches of Wednesday from Salt Lake, Utah, state that the fall in sil ver causes dismay to the mine owners in that region. Tuesday the Daly- West mine at Park City was ordered closed down. The Diamond mine at Eureka, Nevada, and Old Jordan and Galena at Bingham, Utah, were also ordered closed. Owners of the follow ing mines say they will close in a few duys": Sampson, at Bingham; Bullion, Beck .t^mmpion, at Tinti; Caroline, at Eur^R Yosemite, at Bingham; Cresced^at Park City, and another at Park City. All have been strong pur chasers. Astor’s Old Home Sold. Among the real estate sales in New York City, recorded on Saturday, was that of the Asfcor mansion for §290,000. The purchaser is Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton, Mr. Astor’s sister. The house was for a long time the home of Mrs. Drayton and her husband before the unfortunate scandal occurred, in which young Borrowe was involved. The sale is supposed to mean that Mrs, Drayton will resume her occupancy of the old home. Atlanta’s new waterworks were christened Tuesday. Henceforth the city will use Chattahoochee river wa ter. The great reservoir holds 156,- 000,000 gallons and the plant cost §500, - 000. State Treasurer Tate of North Car olina, says tho state had §15,000 on deposit in the suspended bank of New Hanover. He says further that depos itors will get 50 to 60 cents on the dollar, and the stockholders will lose all. Hon. A. F. Foe, of West Point, Miss., has tendered to the governor his resignation as senator from the twenty-fourth senatorial district and will at once take charge as United States district attorney for the north ern district of Mississippi. At a called meeting of tho Alabama Lumber Association held at Montgom ery, Thursday, a protest was proposed and adopted against the raising of freight rates by the railroads to point) north of the Ohio river. A committee was appointed to confer with the lum ber men of Georgia and Mississippi and report at the regular July meet ing. The vestry of Trinity Episcopal church, of Columbia, S. C., on Tues day elected tho Bev. W. A. Guerry, of Florence, pastor to succeed Assistant Bishop-elect Capers. Dr. Capers will bo consecrated bishop either on July 19th or July 26th, in Trinity church, by Bishops Weed, of Florida; Lyman, of North Carolina, and Jackson, of Alabama. The North Carolina department of agriculture Monday had advices from correspondents in several counties on the appearance of the cotton louse, a rare insect in North Carolina, and of damage done by it. The extremely rainy weather during Juno has been favorable to the development of this insect. Cotton is backward and is lagging behind all other crops. In the United States court at Charleston, S. C., Thursday, Judge Simonton, on petition of the Richmond and Danville railroad, issued an order restraining the mayor and town coun cil of Rock Hill from collecting a city tax from the Richmond and Danville road. The tax is declared illegal and void and the town council is directed to show cause at Greenville on August 7th why the injunction should not be made permanent. A Louisville, Ky., special says: The surrender of Louisville Southern stock and securities in the Richmond Ter minal reorganization scheme still goes on at the Columbia Trust company’s office. Monday morning bonds to the amount of §9,500 were turned in, mak ing a total of §2,871,000 to date. The stock surrendered during the day amounted to §22,475, making a total to date of §2,007,729. The last day for the surrender is July 8tli. The brand new board of trustees of the Florida Agricultural college, at Lake City, have put in an appearance and as their first act demanded and received the resignations of all con nected with both the college and the experiment station. Consternation prevails in their ranks. A goodly number of fat places are thus thrown open to the country at large, though only for a limited time, as the board meets again July 11th to fill the posi tions. The weekly crop report of the weather bureau of SouthCarolina issued Tuesday says that the continuous rains have caused grass to grow until it has reached alarming proportions as .to cause seriotiS injury to cotton and co¥n. Both arc drowned out on bottom lands, and mam- fields will be abandoned. Many reports have been received of the rotting of peaches and melons, and the dropping off of grapes. Cotton is generally reported as from two weeks to ten days late. Gardens are in good condition. The legislative board of tho Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers in North Carolina met at Baleigh Thurs day. B. B. Lacey having been ap pointed state labor commissioner, re signed as chairman of tho board. Members were present from twelve cities and towns. Thomas McMillan, of Wilmington, was elected to fill the vacancy. The executive committee adopted resolutions thanking Governor Carr for his appointment of Lacey, and they were presented to him by McMil lan and the executive committee. The remnants of a disbanded Wild West show struck Johnson City, Term., in hard luck Tuesday. They are orig inally of the Winnebago reservation, Nebraska, and under the leadership of Chief Lost Wolf, are endeavoring to return to their native wigwams. The manager, John Adams, skipped a short while since, leaving them in their pres ent condition. Commissioner of In dian Affairs Browning was telegraph ed, and in reply desired to know un der whose authority they lelft the res ervation. The telegram was not answered. The Indians say: “Big show, heap failure.” There was an extremely sensational arrest at Clayton, N. C., thirty miles east of Raleigh, Monday evening, of W. R. Foole, who was once a large farmer there. He wanted to be_post- master but another man was appointed. Poole threatened to burn the town and endeavored to hire Hannibal Smith, colored, to be the incendiary. Smith informed several men of Poole’s plan, and two of them hid in Poole’s barn where the latter had an engagement to meet Smith. They heard Poole review his plan of operation and he was promptly arrested. WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. It is not an uncommon thing to make a man eat his own words, or to cram them down his throat, but it is rather an unusual proceeding for a prisoner to eat the evidence of his guilt, and to do it right in open court iu the bargain! Wha ley, the Buffelonian, raised a monej order, and when arraigned in court picked up the order and ate it. The judge ordered him to suspend digestion at once and take an emetic, but the plan failed to. work, What Dnn k Co. Have to Say of Busi ness for the Past Seven Days. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly re view of trade says: The improve ment expected from the issue of New York clearing house certificates, thus utilizing credit instead of cash in lo cal dealings, has not been legalized. Other cities, especially at the west, have taken similar measures to relieve the press and the demand from the in terior continues unabated. The vol ume of trade is considerably reduced by monetary stringency. Bank clear ings outside of New York are declin ing materially in comparison with last year. In some departments of busi ness orders for merchandise are de ferred, since there is no assurance of ability to carry the goods until they are sold, while in other depart ments orders are not received because the future is distrusted. The effect on the great industries has been less thus far than might have been feared, as most of the works are employed in or ders booked before the trouble began, but many works are now reducing the number of hands, and others must soon suspend operations unless the prospect becomes clearer. Cotton goods are comparatively quiet, and, while shipments of boots and shoes on past orders for exceed last year’s, new orders are not encour aging. Speculative markets have been much depressed by monetary strin gency, wheat having sold for several days at the lowest price ever known in New York and at Chicago. The movement of grain from the farms is large for the season and by no means indicates exhaustion of stocks and the visible supply decreas es so slowly that purchases are little encouraged. The new harvest already begins and prospects are decidely brightened by much needed rains in the northwest duriug the week. Low er prices have Increased export demand, though it is not large enough to make much impresion on the enormous stocks in sight. Corn has been weak with more cheering crop prospects and hog products because of money stringency. Cotton sharply declined,but partially recover ed with stronger foreign advices. Accounts from other cities nearly nil show that monetary pressure affects trade materially; that collections are unusually slow and banks extremely cautious in lending, even where they are strongly fortified. At Pittsburg the volume of business has somewhat decreased and tho fact that two prom inent iron concerns are involved is not encouraging. It is thought the mills in trouble may close., decreasing the output of pig and a strike regarding wages is thought more probable. At Cleveland trade is fairly good, but money is close. At Cincinnati strin gency makes collections poor. At Detroit manufacturers are dis charging some employes with the prospect that many must close if the stringency continues. At St. Paul and Minneapolis prospects are bright er. Chicago reports no distinct im provement in trade, though July set tlements will soon release large sums and an easier market is expected. Speculation is much curtailed and prices for wheat the lowest ever known. Local securities have shrunk severely and provisions are lower. Clearings show a decrease of 30 per cent, real estate sales 30 and securities 40 per cent compared with last year and also nearly all products decrease. Milwau kee reports money slightly easier. At Omaha trade is good and money plen ty. St. Joseph reports slow collec tion and Kansas' City fair trade and collections. Denver reports fair trade but slow collections. At St. Louis the freight movement is gratifying. Banks are accommodating customers in all regular business, but refusing speculators. At Atlanta trade is fair for the season, but collections slow and money very close. At Mobile trade is fair, but money is tight. The state of foreign trade is not yet satisfactory, for exports of pro ducts fall below .last year’s at New York in June thus far §3,600,000, or about 14 per cent, while imports are still somewhat larger than a year ago. Trading stocks are much affected by monetary conditions and prices have been depressed on an average of 25 cents per share, with some selling by foreign and of securities recently pur chased. There is hope that July dis bursements, the issue of certificates and the increased grain shipment will bring better conditions, but the fail ures are still numerous and includes some of importance. The failures for the week number 287 as compared with totals of 347 last year. For the corresponding week last year the failures were 190. TELEGRAPHIC GLEANINGS.; JULIA FORCE NOT GUILTY.I HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. Tie News of tlie World Conflensed Into Ply anil Pointed ParagranAs. Interesting and Instructive to All Classes of Readers. A dispatch from Mecca states that there were forty-five deaths from chol era in that city Monday. A cable dispatch from Paris states that there were two new cases of chol era at Toulson Tuesday, one at Hy- eras, one at Sayne and two deaths at Catte. The firm of Kinnekamp Brothers, manufacturers of furniture, Cincin nati, made an assignment Tuesday morning. The assets are §100,000, the liabilities §40,000. The annual meeting of the society of the Army of the PotomRC was held Tuesday in Faneuil hall, Boston. The attendance was large with many noted men were among the veterans. Sixteen business houses and four dwellings in Augusta, a village of 500 inhabitants in Kalamazoo county, Mich., were destroyed by fire "Wednes day morning. The aggregate loss is §50,000 and the insurance §15,000. Only a few of the buildings will be rebuilt. A New York dispatch says: Fifty thousand dollars, the largest sum ever paid by an American railway company for injuries to a single person, will be paid by the New York Central to Mrs. Homer Baldwin, of Yonkers, within a few days in settlement for injuries re ceived in a disaster at Hastings on Christmas eve, 1891. Forty-two statesand70,000lnembers were represented at the fourteenth an nual session of the supreme castle of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, which convened at Baltimore 'Tuesda'y. Su preme Chief Koch made his-annual re port and gave encouraging data. The supreme keeper of the exchequer showed a satisfactory condition of the finances. A New York dispatch of Sunday says: Tlie'board of Gettysburg mon ument commission of the state of New York has issued a circular appealing to the New York veterans to abstain from any acts of violence to the trol ley railroad during their visits to the battlefields. The veterans are urged not to put a penny in the company’s treasury. Advices of Sunday from Berlin state that the German foreign office expects that Russia will forthwith open a com mercial war against Germany. Tho officials attribute tho failure of nego tiations between Russia and Germany to Francophile and Pan-Slavist influ ences in St. Petersburg,. inducing tho Russian government to .demand impos sible concessions. According to London dispatches it has been definitely decided that Ad miral Albert H. Markham, who was second in command of tho advance admiral, Sir George Tyron, at the time of the accident offTripoli, caused the loss of the Victoria, the flagship of the British Mediterranean squad ron, will be tried by courtmartial at Portsmouth. The suspension of the St. Paul and Minneapolis Trust company at Min neapolis, was announced Tuesday night. A card from the president says the assets exceed the.' liabilities by §200,000, and that the bank will pay in full. The general belief is that it will do so and resume business. Its president is governor McGill; vice president, Congressman Loren Fletch er; capital stock, §500,000. At 9 :30 o’clock Tuesday morning, without a moment’s warning the Tre- mont house, a four-story brick struc ture at Fort Scott, Kas., collapsed, burying nearly seventy-five people in the debris. The ground floor of the hotel was occupied by stores, many of which were filled with customers. It is not known how many people are beneath the fnins, but it is believed that the death list will reach over twenty. ANOTHER DROP IN SILVER. Her Trial in Atlanta tor tAe Murder Her Two Sisters. Under a Previous Judgment She Will Mow be Sent to the Asylum. Being THE PLAN FALLS THROUGH. The Richmond Terminal Reorganization Committee Says There is So Hope. A Savannah special says: The Hol lins plan for the reorganizing of tho Central railroad has exploded. There is no hope for the holders of junior se curities on that line. The Hollins com pany notified Mr. Comer Monday that there is no longer any hope for the plan. It is understood that this decis ion has been reached on the idea that there is so much opposition to their scheme by outsiders and insiders that they are glad to give it up. But the real reason appears to he that the tight money market makes it impossible for the party to carry out its proposition. The truth is there is no other reason to be assigned. DRAWING THEIR DUCATS. Depositors of the Gate City Bank at Atlanta Made Happy. The Gate City National bank at At lanta began paying its depositors Thursday morning overt he counters of the Atlanta National. During the day fully one hundred and sixty-five thou sand dollars were paid out. The crowd was large but very orderly, and many of the checks were given in the pay ment of ordinary accounts by the de positors and were not for the purpose of cheeking out the entire balance. The people throughout the city re gard the outflow of cash from the long closed bank as a herald of good times. It is having a fine effect oh business. It is estimated that 70,000 pounds of maplt sugar and 6000 gallons of syrup have been produced in Western Michigan during the season just closed. Smelling Works and Mines Closed in Consequence. A further sharp break in silver at New York and in London, and advices from Washington indicating that con gress will not convene before Septem ber caused further demoralization in tho stock market Thursday morning. SILVER DROPS IN LONDON. Cable dispatches of Thursday estate that an extraordinary decline has tak en place in the price of silver in the London market, a fall of 2 3-4 pence making the present price 311-4 pence. A very unsettled feeling prevailed at the close of the stock exchange. Silver securities were seriously depressed and American railroad securities very flat._ EXPORT DUXr ON MEXICAN DOLLARS. A special of Thursday to the St. Louis Republic from the Cityof.'Mex- ico says that the government contem plates placing an export duty on Mex-. iean dollars in order to aid the silver market. SMELTING WORKS SHUT DOWN. There is a strong probability that the big Grant smelting and refining works, of Omaha, Neb., will be closed on account of the decline in silver. SILVER MINES BEING CLOSED. A special from Denver, Col:, says: The Mollie Gibson mine at Aspen, the largest silver producer in-the state has closed down, and will not resume op erations until the outlook for silver is improved. All the big. properties in that place have redneed their forces, 500 men being discharged. The smelters have ceased buying ore, and will confine themselves to that on hand or contracted for. ST. LOUIS .SMELTERS QUIT. The St. Louis, Mo., Smelting and Refining Company, one of the largest in the country, has decided to shnt down work, owing to the silver troubles. - * ANOTHER IN IDAHO. Dispatches from Boise City, Idaho, state that the Woodriver silver mine owners, a few exceptions, have sus pended operations owing to the fall in silver. Everybody should read the paper aud keep up with the times. The trial of the state against Miss Julia Force, charged with the murder of her sisters, Misses Minnie and Florence Force, was begun in Atlanta Monday morning. Miss Julia Force is resting under two indictments for murder. In one indictment she is charged with the murder of her sister, Miss Minnie Force, and in the second she is charged with the murder of her second sister, Miss Florence Force. Just why this was done isnot stated, ■but Miss Julia Force was put on trial in the case of the state against herself, charged with the murder of Miss Min nie -Force. Should Miss Force be found guilty of murder—although it is hardly probable—Solicitor Hill has as yet not determined whether or not he will put her on trial for the second murder. THE EATAL SHOTS. Miss Force’s crime is too well known to need any dwelling upon, and the snd story but brings up sad memories of an insane woman’s terrible and blood-thirsty deed. The double mur der occurred on Saturday, February 25th, just at tho very time when the city was wild over a bank defalcation and a couple of suicides. From the statements made by Miss Force herself the murder was a deliberate one, which was well planned and faith fully executed. The mother was ab sent from home; the two servants were dispatched on errands, and the way was clear for the horrible deed that was to follow. Miss Minnie Force was shot down first, the room \vas locked, and the fully aroused murderess then turned her attention to her invalid sister, who was in the room upstairs. She entered the room with the pistol beneath her apron, and the note from High & Co. in tho other hand, and with but one word shot her down from behind. Since she has been in jail, accord ing to the testimony of one of the witnesses, she has professed sorrow at having done what she did, but despair ingly declares that she doesn’t see how she will be forgiven. The testimony in the case elicited at Monday morn-, ing’s trial tended to show, without the shadow of a doubt, that Miss Force is, and was, a monomaniac of the worst type. In the testimony was unfolded the story of a good church woman, an earnest worker in the cause of the Lord—in fact, a wo man who was recommended by one bishop to another as the very persofi to help on tho good work—who sud denly developed into one who did not hesitate to use profano language. Fr *m a woman of fastidious tastes and hoiy purpose, Miss Force’s monomania dfc-w her into a path which she had never known before. THE STATE’S VIEW. The state made out its case fairly strong on the small amount of testi mony that could be had, and nearly every witness on a close cross-exami nation by the attorneys for the defense, ended by virtually becoming a witness for the defense. Every witness for the defense swore that since November there had been a change in Miss Julia’s ways, and that she was evidently losing her mind, or at least, becoming mentally unbalanced. The sudden change in her character, as has already been mentioned, was dwelt upon by the de fense, and when the defense announc ed closed there was not a single person in the court-house who had heard the entire testimony that did not believe Miss Julia Force insane. After a large number of witnesses were examined, the defense rested, and offered as part of their evidence the record in the ordinary’s court. Solic itor Hill objected. The point was argued on both sides, and the solicitor was sustained. “not guilty.” Arguments in the case were conclu ded Tuesday morning and at noon Judge Clark delivered a fair and forci ble charge to the jury, concluding it at 2 :45, when the jury retired. THE PRISONER WEEPS. In referring to the enormity of the crime Judge Clark dwelt upon it and said the jury could consider the prior life of the prisoner as well as the prior life of the victim. He said the crime, committed by a Christian woman, was enormous, the only parallel to it being the Borden murder if it was commit ted by Lizzie Borden. He thought this' crime even more enormous than that. • At the reference to the prison er’s prior life her face grew softer in its expression, there was a convulsive' twitching of the muscles about the mouth, there was a running over of the eyes and with a quick movement she threw her veil over her face, put her handkerchief to her eyes and sob- bed^po&yjilsively. At 3 o’clock the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. This verdict is in the trial pf Miss Julia Force for the killing of her sister, Florence. A consent verdict of not guilty will be allowed on the other indictment for the killing of her sister Minnie. This means that Miss Force will be sent to the asylum. AN ANARCHIST MONUMENT.

A few growing plants give anaesthetic touch to the appearance of the kitchen. I once read, writes a correspondent of the New York World, that the beauti ful flower known as the Cyclamen had a sort of Cinderella beginning in the fire corner of an industrious house wife’s kitchen. She used a perforated shelf, back of her kitchen stove, on which she placed a box of earth for a propagating bed. The heat from the fire and the moist- ur? from the steam out of the vaporous pots and kettles produced such healthy and vigorous plants that florists with elaborately managed green-houses looked at them in amazement.

Calves’ foot jelly is often recom mended as a diet for invalids, but I have never seen any method of clean ing the feet, writes Sharlot M. Hall. The following method is the result of experiments made in our family and we have found that calves’ feet ara more easily cleaned than pigs’ feet. Skin the feet carefully down to the hoofs and then put them in boiling water for ten or fifteen minutes. The hoofs will then slip off easily and leave the feet clean. Wash well and they ara ready for use. Pickled calves’ feet are much nicer than pigs’ feet, and the stock or jelly is very fino for soups.—Detroit Erea Press. THE KITCHEN LIBRARY. A shelf for books will not be alto gether out of place in the kitchen. There are some muoh needed books for this part of the house as well as for the library.' For instance, there are the cook hooks that the modern house keeper needs for reference, since methods are changing all the time, and there is a blank book you need yourself to jot down receipts in or else to paste in those you may clip from magazines or papers. Then there are the butcher’s and grocer’s books that should be kept where they are easily found. That housekeeper who can prevail upon her cook to keep an ac count book, and trust her to guard the small leaks of the kitchen by taking pains to note expenditures is fortunate, indeed; however, this sort of “help” cannot be reckoned upon in every household.—St. Louis Star-Sayings.

The strict rules of German require that the mother must be her husband’s equal in rank in order to place the children in full possession of the father’s rights. The rule has been observed in many German families. A horse can draw on tho worst road four times as much as he can carry on his back. On a good macademized road ho can draw ten times, on a plank road twenty-five times, and on a street rail way forty-eight times as much. From the establishment of tho na tional banking system in 1864 until October 1st, 1892, the number of na tional banking associations which sus pended and passed into tho hands of receivers was 181, an average of six per year. Since the latter date the number of banks that have sus pended to date is thirty, of which eighteen are in the hands of receivers and twelve are awaiting that condition. There is some significance in these fig ures which students of political econo my will find interesting and doubtless easy of solution. “Chicago,” says a diamond expert, “is soon to be the greatest diamond market in the world, because Chicago is today the largest retail market, and wholesale dealers must follow the set of tho current Nearly §2,000,000 worth of diamonds were sold in that city last year.

It is a good plan, always considered, of course, whether time and' strength will allow, to take linen sheets and tablecloths from the line when about half dry, shake them and smooth them out, fold them once over and hang them over the line without any stretch ing or pulling. A couple of pins at a little distance from either edge will keep them in place. This gives more line room, which is often greatly needed and allows the pieces to dry in much better shape. Many laundresses seem to think that clothes maybe flung on the line in any way whatever, wrinkled, folded or twisted, as the case may be, hut this means just so much additional work when ironing day comes.
