Shakespeary’s Women.
Observe among all the principal fig

only one weak woman, Ophelia, and it
if because she fails Hamlet at the crit
ical moment, and cannot in her nature
be a guide to him when he needs her
most, that all the bitter catastrophe
follows. And though there are three
wicked women among the principal
figures, Lady Macbeth, Began and
Goneril, they are felt at once to be
frightful exceptions to the ordinary

proportion to the power for good they
have abandoned.—Ruskin.

The Richmond and Danviile Bail-
road Company has defaulted in its in
terest on the bonds of the Northeast
ern Cailroad Company, and have bo
notified Governor Northen. The law
direct that the governor in such a
contingency shall seize the road and
the state shall operate it for the pur
pose of extinguishing its debt.
The mortgage held by the Mercan
tile Trust and Deposit Company, of
Baltimore, on the property of the
Georgia Southern and Florida Rail
road Company will be foreclosed and
the road sold under the hammer un
less the supreme court interferes.
That is the result of the great trial
that has been in progress in the su
perior court at Macon the past week.
At noon Tuesday the largest meet
ing of merchants ever held in Au
gusta, Ga., was called to order at the
Cotton Exchange to take action
against the Bichmond and Danville
and South Carolina roads for refusal
to carry out the order of Commis
sioner Stahlman, granting a one cent
a mile rate for two days in each week
during the exposition and state fair.
It is ascertained from the best sources
that a racket has been raised in the
Southern Steamship and Passenger as
sociation over the way Columbia, S.
C., was treated concerning railroad
rates during the state fair. Hereto
fore a rate of 1 cent per mile has been
given, but this year it was doubled,
and even then notification of reduc
tion from the regular passenger rates
was delayed until three days before
the fair began.
Dispenser Clafiey, of Orangeburg,
S. C., has turned over to the city and
county authorities for an equal divis
ion 0886 dispensary profits for the
months af July, August, September
and October. During the first two
months the dispensary barely made
expenses. The city and county will
ea.h realize about $1,600 from this
source for the entire year. Last year
the county got $800 from the bars,
while the cities realized $3,200.
The Baptist general association of
Virginia, which began its annual meet
ing in Boanoke last Friday, ended its
session Tuesday evening after having
held one of the most successful meet
ings in its history. The day was de
voted to educational work and tributes
of the dead. Alexandria was fixed
upon as the place for the next meet
ing of the association and the time
determined upon was Tuesday before
the second Sunday in November, 1894.
The grand jury in the criminal court
at Nashville, Tuesday, returned an in
dictment against George A. Dazey,
charging him with larceny and ob
taining money under false pretenses.
Dazey is charged with inducing Frank
Porterfield, cashier of the defunct
Commercial National bank, to cash
$142,000 of worthless drafts on New
York brokers, by representing that
bills of lading for cotton representing
the amount had been forwarded by
mail.
Advices of Wednesday from El
Paso, Texas, state that the Mexican
revolutionists instead of attacking
Cnidad Juarez, as has been lately ex
pected, have evaded the federal troops
from Chihuahua and Casa Grandes and
have taken Ascension and Corraltos.
The Americans who were ordered out
of Ascension by the revolutionists are
seeking safety at Deming, N. M. The
Mormon colonistB, located near Lake
Palomas, just across the border, have
been ordered to abandon their homes.
For the third time in the history of
Augusta,Ga., the people of the city were
joined by representatives from over
half the states of the union in the for
mal opening of Augusta’s exposition
Tuesday. On this occasion, however,
there is joined with this enterprise the
Georgia state fair under the manage
ment of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society and the two combined form an
exposition that will equal in its scope
and magnitude any similar enterprise
in the history of the South.
W. F. Putnam,president of the Lex
ington, Ky., Water Works company,
has been arrested at Exeter, Mass., for
embezzling $30,000 from the National
Granite bank, of which he was presi
dent. The American Trust company,
of New York, trustees for the bond
holders of the water company, have
sent an expert to investigate, and
startling developments are expected.
The company may be forced into the
hands of a receiver through the fore
closing of a contractors’ lien for $45-

There appears now to be no ques
tion but that the rolling mill at Bes
semer, Ala., will start up at a very
early date. It will be resumed on the
eo-operative plan, the working men
sharing in the profits with the owners.
The co-operative project was agitated
soon after the mill shut down several
months ago, but at that time a majori
ty of the stockholders hesitated about
coming in. Since that time they have
investigated the co-operative plan and,
it is stated, they will proceed at once
to inaugurate it at their mill.
A Charlotte special says: The Bich
mond and Danville railroad took a
hand in the war on the dispensary
Wednesday when ex-Judge Cotheran
filed a petition asking for a rule against
the state constable, Lewis W. Perrin,
of Greenville, requiring him to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. Perrin is charged with
unlawfully seizing a package of liquor
at Greenville on November 7th, the
said liquor at the time being in pos
session of a receiver appointed by the
United States court. The hearing of
the case was fixed for November 20th.
A Birmingham, Ala., special of Wed
nesday says: D. D. Shelby, of Hunts
ville, Ala., the leading attorney for
Messrs. Parsons and Nir&inger, the
United States district attorney and
marshal whom Mr. Cleveland displaced
before their terms had expired, is pre
paring the papers to revive the case on
a writ of error. The United States
supreme court recently endorsed the
action of Judge Bruce in recognizing
the Cleveland appointees, but the re
publican ex-office holders are game and
will fight the case as long as they can.
The federal grand jury at Jackson,
Miss., continues to probe and fifteen
indictments were returned Wednesday.
Twelve are for selling whisky without
license, two for illicit distilling and
one for embezzlement, the latter being
against Major W. H. Gibbs, the ex
republican postmaster at that place.
The amount alleged to have been em
bezzled is $3,920.82, George Brown,
a postal olerk, on trial for tampering
with thef mails, was found guilty.
Brown had been in the government
employ twenty years, and has always
been regarded as a man of probity.
A Jackson, Miss.,special says: After
a conference with the governor the
attorney general has ordered the exe
cution against the bondsmen of ex-
Trea6urer Hemingway for the balance
of the $15,000 yet due, be withdrawn
for the present. This has been done
on account of the extreme scarcity of
money. The state is amply secured
and the sureties are paying interest on
the amount due and to force execu
tions at this time would result in great
sacrifice to the surities as property
cannot be sold now at any price. The
original liajjility of the sureties was
$83,000. Ail has been paid but $15,-
000.
THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTER.
Dun & Co’s Report of Trade for the
Past Week.
B. G. Dun <fc Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: The turn of the ti<le has
come. Since thq elections there has
been a distinct improvement in busi
ness and particularly manufacturing
There is some increasa in actual trans
actions and much more in the tone of
business. Men of all parties feel that
there is ground for greater confidence,
the silver question being put defi
nitely out of the way and the chance
of disturbing action in other respects
being lessened, while the right of the
people to rule their rulers has been
vindicated.
While it is yet too early to look for
great changes, there is already a dis
tinct improvement in the demand for
manufactured products. Since the ac
tion on the silver bill there has been
some increase in the output of pig
iron and in sales of wool. The build
ing trades in several citries have im
proved and the failures of the week,
the latest reported, show lower liabili
ties. In brief, the recovery which be
gan when the silver repeal bill passed
continues with increased strength.
The output of pig iron, though not
half as large as that of a year ago, is
larger than it was at the beginning of
October. The monthly statement shows
80,070 tons weakly against 73,895 Oc
tober 1st, and 17i,082 Nov. 1, 1892,
and there is a slight decrease in the
stocks of unsold iron on hand.
The 6udden flill in the price of steel
rails which has been maintained at $29
for a long time, but is now $22 at
the mills, has brought the quick en
largement of demand which, might
have been anticipated, and in turn the
demand for ore, coke and pig iron im
proves. Copper improves a little,
with a stronger demand, but lead and
tin are slightly weaker, after the spec
ulation last week.
In boots and shoes the decline in
shipments, compared with last year,
is only 17 per cent, for the week, and
more of the shops are active, the long
economy in purchases having exhausted
supplies of dealers. The first week of
November has passed and thousands of
business men breathe more freely, be
cause the apprehended failures in dry
goods have been much less numerous
and less important than was feared.
No doubt it is true that many concerns
have been carried over by extension,
but even a moderate revival of trade
will enable most of them to weather
the storm. A great deal of. improve
ment is seen in the market for cotton
goods with slightly better prices in
print cloths and some othor grades.
The sales of wool for the week have
been 3,684,200 pounds at the three
principal markets, against 8,215,000
last year.
The volume of domestic trade, though
smaller than a year ago, shows consid
erably less decrease than appeared in
September, or October, the exchanges
at clearing houses, outside of New
York, being only 17.4 per cent, less
than for the corresponding week last
year.
The failures for the week past have
been 316 in the United States against
210 for the same week last year, and in
Canada 37 against 26 last year. There
were four failures with liabilities be
tween $100,000 and $200,000
each, and sixty-two with liabilities be
tween $5,000 and $10,000. The lia
bilities of failures last week reported
show a very encouraging decrease,
amounting to only $3,467,000 against
$7,413,000 for the preoeding week, and
it is noticed that while the number of
failures does not materially decline as
yet, there are fewer of importance.
WORK OF BOMB THROWERS.
Fifteen People Silled and Many In*
jured by an Explosion.
A special of Wednesday from Bar
celona, Spain, says: Tuesday night,
during the performance of “William
■Tell,” at the Lyceum opera house, a
place much frequented by the elite of
Barcelona society, two bombs, pre
sumably loaded with dynamite, were
thrown from the gallery. One ex
ploded with a terrific report. Almost
every person in the house sprung to
to his feet in terror and dismay. Wild
shrieks and cries of agony rose from
the lower part of the house, and it was
known that many persons had been
injured.
FIFTEEN BODIES IN ONE HEAP.
When the wreckage was in some de
gree cleared away it was found that
fifteen dead bodies, of which six were
those of men and nine the corpses of
women. The bodies of the ladies lay
close together, their bright-colored
evening dresses, laces and jewelry,
gloves, hats and bonnets and other
finery drenched in blood and torn in
the most fearful manner.
It is reported that soon after the ex
amination of the dead began that a
large proportion of the killed belong
ed to one family who had taken a num
ber of tickets, it is presumed, forming
a theater party in honor of the birth
day of one of those lying there shat
tered to death by the anarchist bomb.
The only persons who retained their
presence of mind were the officials pres
ent. They knew that the outrage was
the work of anarchists, and determin
ed to prevent the escape of the miscre
ants. Some ran to the gallery and
surrounded that part from which the
bomb had been thrown. Several sus
picious-looking persons were placed
under arrest, and when a close exam
ination was made of the prisoners, it
was found that two were anarchists
well-known to the police.
TOBACCO MEN PROTEST
Against a Proposed Increase of the tax
on the Weed.
The Tobacco Manufacturer’s Asso
ciation of the United States met in
convention at Washington, Wednes
day to protest against the proposed in
crease of the tax on manufactured to
bacco. Many southern and western
tobacco manufacturers were present.
They adopted resolutions protesting
against the increased tax and suggest
ing that the revenue of the govern
ment could be largely increased by
the repeal of the revenue laws of 1890,
permitting the sale of leaf tobacco di
rect to the consumers without the
payment of taxes. They also appoint
ed a committee of ten to confer with
the snb-cummittee on ways and means.

It seems definitely settled that J. J.
Corbett and Charles Mitchell will bat
tle for the championship of the world
for a $20,000 purse and a stake of
$10,000 before the newly organized
Duval Athletic club, of Jacksonville,
Fla., on the night of Thursday, Janu

Wednesday articles of agreement be
tween James J; Corbett and Charles
Mitchell to engage in a glove contest
before the Duval Athletic Club, of
Jacksonville, Fla., on the night of
plaint against the classification clauses
of this measure, and a committee of
New York importers, consisting of P.
B. Worrall and Daniel McKeever,
have presented their views on the
question to Chairman Wilson and the
treasury officials. It was suggested
that the classification question be tak
en out of the hands of the general ap
praisers, leaving them to act as ap
praisers on questions of value only.
Secretary Carlisle had a conference
Wednesday with Secretary Gresham in
regard to the case of the ten Russian
convicts, recently landed at San Fran
cisco. The Secretary said that no or
der had been made with respect to
them. A treasury official states that
it was possible that some of the men
would be released and others would
bo returned to custody of the Russian
government. The report of Commis
sioner Stradley, of San Francisco, on
the case is still kept secret. It is
known, however, that it contains no
recommendation, but is simply a mass
of testimony.
The latest phase of the Hawaiian
imbroglio is the statement that the
United States has been completely
hoodwinked and has played into the
hands of Great Britain. According to
the story now current the action of
the president is the very thing above
all others that England mo6t desired.
It is considered an open secret
in diplomatic circles that Great
Britain wishes to have indirect control
of the Hawaiian isles through the fu
ture sovereignty of Princess Knlulani,
niece of the queen and heir apparent
to the throne. She it was who made
the plaintive appeal to President
Cleveland while she was at Washing
ton last spring.
IZ Hatpin us Arrested.
The Russian minister at Washing-
ington has intervened in the matter
of ten escaped Russian convicts, who
were recently picked up in the Pacific
ocean and landed at San Francisco.
The minister asked that the men be
arrested, presumably for the purpose
of ascertaining whether they are crim
inal offenders escaped from Siberia.
The treasury department promptly
acted on the request and ordered the
arrest of the men and it has received
word that this has been accomplished
and that the men are in jail. The
commissioner of immigration at San
Francisco has been given instructions
to wire tbe facts in the case, including
the affidavits of the men, to the de
partment, pending the receipt of
which further action will be postponed.
He Fre.idcnt in New York.
President Cleveland, unexpected,
except by the proprietor of the Vic
toria hotel and a few personal friends,
arrived in New York at an early hour
Thursday morning. Mrs. Cleveland
did not accompany the president, but
Secretary and Mrs. “Dan” Lamont
made the trip with him, The party
left Jersey City in a carriage and
were driven direct to the Victoria
hotel. Arriving there the president
and the Lamonts went to the rooms
on the second floor facing Fifth ave
nue, usually occupied by them, and
partook of a light breakfast. After
reading the papers for an hour the
president ordered a carriage and in
forming no one except Mr. and Mrs.
Lamont of his destination, drove off
up Fifth avenue. There were no
callers at tbe hotel for the president
during his morning stay. He left
word that to all enquirers at the office
only one answer should bo given, and
that was that he was in the
city on purely personal business.
The occasion for all this mystery iu
which the president chose to shroud
his movements was not apparent. It
had one effect, however, which Mr.
Cleveland had not perhaps anticipated.
It caused those who were aware of his
arrival to suppose that perhaps his
condition was such that he had resolv
ed upon having mother operation oi
some kind performed in secret. Dr.
Joseph D. Bryant, Mr. Cleveland’s
physician, said that Mr. Cleveland’s
health was all right and that any con
trary statement was a falsehood, little
short of criminal.
BIG BLAZE AT MEMPHIS.
Several Business Houses Suffer Heavy
Losses—Some Narrow Escapes.
What promised to be one of the most
disastrous fires of late years in Mem
phis, Tenn., was checked Monday
night by the fire department after a
hard effort with the following losses:
Schmalzereid Stove company, build
ing and stock, total loss, $20,000;
insurance for $50,000. Lemmon <fc
Gale, wholesale dry goods, stock $180,-
000; building, $35,000; loss on build
ing by fire, $7,000; loss on stock by
water, $108,000; insured for $160,000.
The Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion had rooms in the Schmalzereid
building- and found themselves
hemmed in by the fire. Several
jumped from the third story and were
seriously and perhaps fatally injured,
though no deaths have yet been re
ported. It is claimed that other
members were overcome by the heat
and burned in the building, but noth
ing authentic is yet known.

The news brought by the steamer

A BAD SMASH-UP
On a Branch of tlie Central-Thirty*
Five Hurt ami On!y one Deaili.
An Opelika, Ala., special says: A
wreck which resulted in the death of
one man and the injury of thirty-five
people occurred ou the East Alabuma
branch of the Central railroad within
one mile of LaFayette, Wednesday
night, about 7:30 o’clock. Ten freight
cars, two passengor coaches, a smok
ing ear and a mail and baggage car
jumped the track and tumbled over an
embankment. The mail and baggage
ear caught ou fire instantly and the
flames spread rapidly. Toss Driver, a
negro passenger, who was in the front
end of the smoker, which is divided
oil' for negro passengers, was burned
to death before the eyes of half a hun
dred passengers. They were power
less to render him assistance. The
smoker was the first to catch fire, and
those in this ear, some fifteen in num
ber, were all injured, many of them
badly.
The loss to the road will be heavy.
Several of the freight ears were de
molished and goods were strewn prom
iscuously around for several hundred
yards. The smoking ear was entirely
consumed by the flames and the rear
end of a passenger coach and the mail
car were badly damaged, in fact, ren
dered worthless from the fire. Why
every passenger ou the train was not
killed or badly injured is a mystery.
NOVEMBER COTTON FIGURES.
A Diminished Yield Compared With
That of Last Year.
The cotton returns of the department
of agriculture for the month of No
vember do not indicate, a high rate of
yield, but point rather to a diminished
harvest,as compared with that of 1892,
which was less than any in the last de
cade. The causes of the light yield
have been heretofore reported, viz:
Drought, excessive moisture in some
sections, and the ravage of insect ene
mies of the plant and some other
causes of minor nature.
Local estimates vary in range from
one-fourth to three-fourtns of a full
crop. The weather throughout the
entire cotton belt has been generally
favorable to picking and the depart
ment is advised that, owing to this
fact, a large part of the crop has been
successfully secured, a considerable
portion of which has been marketed.
The indicated yield as averaged from
county estimates, apparent errors
eliminated, averages 148.8 pounds per
acre, distributed by states as follows:
Virginia 152, North Carolina 174,
South Carolina 143, Georgia 136, Flor
ida 82, Alabama 148, Mississippi 143,
Louisiana 175, Texas 151, Arkansas
174, Tennessee 138.
As severe frosts have not yet been
genera], it is possible that the reported
expectations may be exceeded.
ALTGELD EXPLAINS
That He Pardoned the Haymarket An
archists Without Condition.
A Springfield, 111., special says:
Governor Altgeld was asked Monday
if it was true that one of the condi
tions of the pardon of Fielden, Neebe
and Schwab was that they should make
no anarchistic speeches in the future,
and he replied: “In granting pardons
to Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, I did
so because I thought them not guilty
of the crime charged, and for which
they were sentenced, and in so doing I
placed no conditions upon their pardons
and made no such conditions as charged,
namely, that they must make no more
speeches regarding anarchy. You may
say there are no anarchists in the entire
state ef Illinois; not one. If the news
papers would stop talking anarchy, the
whole matter would never again be
heard of. The laboring men in Chi
cago and other places are as good citi
zens as there are in any state. That
they have a right to their own
views on all matters and are entitled to
express the same as such must be con
ceded by all citizens, and when such
expressions are made, the same could
not be designated anarchistic speeches
thus placing tbe speakers in the wrong
light. No, sir, there is not an anarch
ist in the great state of Illinois; not
one,” and with that the governor dis
missed the subject.
WELCOME FROST.
Brnnswickans Rejoice at the AdTent of
Their Deliverer.
Frost struck Brunswick, Ga., Thurs
day morning and brought intense joy.
Everybody gloried in its arrival and
everybody was happy. Handshakings
and smiles carried the day and the
feeling of general good will to all is
only equaled by that at Christmas
times. This practically ends the epi
demic. The people are elated over
the future prospects, grateful for the
lightness of the mortality and thank
ful for the relief sent them, and feel
the greatest happiness o'ver the gener
al wind up.

in a spirit of revenge.
Advices of Thursday state that the
Bank of England officials continue to
maintain silence regarding the rumors

has been irregularities in regard to ad
vances.

Storing Milk.
The keeping of milk in a way that
it will not be effected by outside influ
ences and remain sweet for a reasona
ble length of time is one that should
interest many who are not interested
directly in dairy matters. The writer
now has in mind such persons as are
interested in hotels, boarding schools,
soldiers’ homes, and many county and
state institutions where large quanti
ties of milk are consumed each day.
In the first place, contracts for milk
should be made with producers of
known cleanliness and integrity, and it
should be insisted on as one of the
conditions that the milk should be
cooled as soon as drawn to a tempera
ture not higher than 50 degrees, the
cooling to be done in a pure air and the
milk stirred at least a portion of the
time while being cooled.
Having received the milk it is im
portant to have the proper facilities
for storing it, and at the same time
conveniences for drawing it when re
quired for use, such conveniences as
will admit of the milk being drawn
without disturbing the cream.
In connection with some institu
tions referred to above there are
farms. This is usually the case with
most of the county and some of the
state institutions. At such places the
provisions for storing milk can be
made to answer an additional purpose,
that of creaming it.
We have in mind one set of county
institutions, the managers of which
fully realize the importance of the
subject of this article. We refer to
those of Milwaukee (Wis.) county, lo
cated at Wauwatosa, that county.
The alms house, hospital and asylum
for chronic insane are all furnished
with portable creameries, and it is the
testimony of the superintendent in
charge and the physicians connected
with those institutions that they were
valuable adjuncts.
How a Boston Maw Saw a Sun Spot.
A Boston man living out in the sub
urbs has discovered a fact that may in
terest a good many persons. What he
found was that it is quite possible to
see the larger spots that appear on the
Bun’r surface without glass or lens of
any kind.
The shutters of the observer’s house
happened to be closed, and through a
tiny hole near the top of them a beam
of sunlight found its way to the floor.
There is left an image, clear and
round, tinged at the circumference
with a fringe of blue and orange.
The whole appearance of the beam
as projected reminded the spectator of
the image of the sun taken on paper
through a telescope, and he got a sheet
of white note paper in order to test his
surmise. The result confirmed it. A
beautiful round image of the sun fell
on the paper, and near the center
thereof could be seen a bluish spot,
which moved about with the image
whenever the paper was shifted. The
bluish colorek object was a veritable
sun spot, and the observer watched it
by the simple means described for sev
eral days until the revolution of the
sun carried it ont of sight.—Boston
Herald.
A Boston Baby.
Boston Ma—“What does baby want?
Is it this pencil?”
Boston Baby—“Ahgoo, agoo!”
“Of course that’s it. And does baby
want paper?”
“Ma! ma! me! ma!”
“Yes, mamma cognizes correctly. I
wonder what baby wants with pencil
and paper?”
‘Me! mo! me! mo! me! mo!”
‘Bless his heart! He wants to begin
to write his memoirs.”
Nuns in China.
There are nuns in China. They
have a somewhat easier time than nuns
in European and American convents
do. They belong chiefly to the lower
classes, the poorer parents being will
ing to sell their danghters to the ser
vice of the convent. The children
thus grow up in the ascetic atmosphere
and eventually join the order. Poor
widows also frequently solve the self
supporting problem by entering a con
vent.

“German
Syrup
I am a farmer at Edom, Texas. I
have used German Syrup for six
years successfully for Sore Throat,
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in
Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of

Cough Syrups in my time, but let
me say to anyone wanting such a
medicine—German Syrup is the best.
We are subject to so many sudden

An old and tried cleaning solution
for black dresses is a handful of fig

only a pint is left. Dip a brush or
bit of sponge in this and rub the spots

dusty and generally grimy may be
washed in soap bark water, drying
