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- 000., 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. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Aflairs ol GoYement and News tlie Dspartmsnts Discussal of Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo ple and Their General Welfare. President Cleveland and his family left their country home on the Wood- ley road Thursday morning and are now located at the white house for the winter. It was thought that the Presi- WILL FIGHT IN FLORIDA. Corbett and Mitchell Will Meet in Jacksonville January 25th. 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 ary 25, 1894. 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. Uprising in Cuba. The news brought by the steamer from Havana Thursday night has cheer ed the hearts of the Cuban revolntion- istss at Key West, Fla., who declare that their cause has received a fresh impetus. The present movement in Cuba is evidently an outgrowth of the plans hatched by the leaders at Key West, who have been, ever since the last fiasco, endeavoring to incite an other insurrection. of winning, the one so doing shall lose all interest in the aforesaid purse. To guarantee the faithful perform ance of the above obligation, each principal agrees to deposit the sum of $5,000 in the hands of David A. Blan chard, to guarantee their appearance in the ring at the appointed time. The Duval club guarantees both principals absolute protection before and after the contest in regard to all and any interferences on the part of the city or state authorities and to pay all expenses that the principals may be forced to expend to free themselves from any interference on the part of the Florida authorities, city or state. 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. ODR LATEST DISPATCHES. Tlie Happenings ol a Day Cimmicled in Brief and Concise Paragraplis And Containing the Gist of the News From All Parts of the World. Count Kaluoky had his farewell au dience with the king and queen of It- a ly Thursday at Montze and returned Milan. — An attempt has been made by an archists to blow up the residence of General Mathelen, commander of the Fifteenth French army corps at Mar seilles. Edgewood Seminary, a Dominican female institute two miles from Madi son, Wis., was destroyed by fire Thurs day. About fifty girls were in the buildings, but there was no loss of life. Governor Turney, of Tennessee, Thursday offered a reward of $500 for the capture and conviction of the par ties who lynched three negro men and one woman, near Lynchburg,in Moore county, a few days ago on a charge of barn burning. Thomas McKin, whose fortune is es timated at $4,000,000, died at Chicago Thursday. Mr. McKin was sixty-four years of age and has long been promi nent in Chicago. He was at one time a member of the city council. He amass ed a fortune in real estate deals and contracting. Five prisoners in the Bibb county jail at Centreville, Ala., made a des perate attempt to escape Wednesday night. They enticed the jailer into the jail, beat him almost to death, nn locked the door and left. At last ac counts he was in a bad condition. Hounds were put on the track of the escapes and one of then) has been caught. The annual report of the attorney general of South Carolina*to the gen eral assembly will show that the liti gation of the present year has been far in excess of any year perhaps in the history of tbe state, and probably even of many years together. The expen ses have gone far beyond the appropri ation. Fifty-eight cases have been brought as the outcome of the dispen sary law in three months. Gruschinsky & Co., retail dry goods dealers at Montgomery, Ala., were closed by the sheriff Thursday on four attachments sued out by I. Poliak & Co., Steiner & Lobman and C. A. Stern & Co., of Montgomery, and Claflin & Co., of New York. The claims on which the attachments were sued out aggregate $3,500. It is said the total indebtedness of the firm is three or four times this amount. First Lieutenant Jnd Reader, of the Knoxville, Tenn., police force, prefer red charges Thursday against Chief of Police J. J. Atkins, Second Lieuten ant Frank L. Hood, Sergeant Rufus Hicks and Patrolman Barney Irwin, who were mixed up in the recent at- temped robbery of an express car near Coal Creek. He charges the officers of violating the police rules, which provide for the suppression and not the encouragement of crime. The dwelling of John Shahan, who lives twelve miles from Lafayette, Ga., was blown up with dynamite Wednes day night. The explosion took place about 12 o’clock. Shahan and his wife were in the house at the time asleep, and, strange to say, while the house was wrecked, neither ho nor his wife was injured. It is thought that the deed was done by some moonshiners in a spirit of revenge. Advices of Thursday state that the Bank of England officials continue to maintain silence regarding the rumors in circulation as to bad financiering upon its part. It is stated on good authority, however, that the bank’s connection with bad financiering is practically limited to its transactions in the South American and Mexican Company, which has been ventilated in the courts and to the facts that there has been irregularities in regard to ad vances. A Chicago dispatch of Thursday jays: Three men, Frank Springer, Buck Kearns and Thomas O’Keefe, are under arrest for supposed complicity in the recent destruction by fire of the Chicago City Railroad company’s car barns. About $100,000 worth of property, including 460 horses, was destroyed. Charges against the de fendants are that they were connected with the cause of the fire and stole a number of horses during the confu sion attending the conflagration. A Columbia, S.

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. Old News. S. 8.

I have used German Syrup for six years successfully for Sore Throat, Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of Blood. I have tried many kinds of Cough Syrups in my time, but let me say to anyone wanting such a medicine—German Syrup is the best.
