The death of David Dudley Field,
the eminent New York jurist, recalls
to the Philadelphia Ledger the most
remarkable story of four famous
brothers, all of whom led useful lives.
Cyrus West Fields, one of these
brothers, who died in 1S92, was the
projector of the Atlantic cable; David
Dudley Fieid distinguished himself as
a lawyer and acquired a national repu
tation by his codification of the laws
of New York. Other brothers are Su
preme Court Justice Stephen J. Field
and Dr. Henry M. Field, the editor of
the Evangelist. They were sons of a
poor, but distinguished Berkshire
clergyman, who managed to give three
of his sons a collegiate education, of

Department have found a curious

whole law-. The award of the Paris

“inclusive” of the territorial waters.
' The bill, as introduced by Mr. Mor
gan, Chairman on the Senate Com

tained the correct phraseology, but
when it was printed the types ma le the
word “exclusive,” and the bill was so
passed. What the legal effect of the
error may be still remains to be seen,
but some people think that the Senate

The rapid development of the life
insurance business of this country is
one of the most remarkable economic
facts of the time, asserts Frank Les
lie’s Weekly. “And as indicating the
growth of a provident spirit and habit
among our people, it is a fact of im
mense significance. Some conception
of the magnitude of this interest ie
afforded by the returns of the thirty-
two old style life insurance companies
now doing business in this State. The
total amount of premiums paid into
these companies last year was $192,-
706,838. The death claims paid dur
ing the year amounted to$75,903,820.
The surplus, as regards policy holders,
held by these companies at the begin
ning of the present year was $116,.
549,186. These figures leave no room
for doubt as to the steadily increasing
popularity of life insurance as a means
of assuring reasonable protection
against the accidents and adverse
fortunes of life to those who would
otherwise be defenseless. It is no
doubt true that the cost of insurance
in some of the standard companies is
excessive, and that the business could
be safely and profitably conducted at
Bauch lower charges to the policy
holder, but even at the extravagant
rates sometimes exacted, the life in
surance system offers advantages
whiiffy few persons with others de-
peedenf upon them can afford to dis-

EFFORTS AT CONSOLIDATION.
Delegates of Labor Organizations Hold
a Joint Conference.
The joint conference between the
heads of the Knights of Labor and
American Federation of Labor, which
is confidently expected will cement the
two great labor organizations with
bonds of lasting friendship and include
all other great labor organizations,
such as the various railway organiza
tions, the Farmers’ Alliance and other
bodies not iu strict accord with tho
knights and federation, began at St.
Louis, Mo., Monday morning.
The conference was called to order
by General Master Workman Sov
ereign. The organizations represented
are the Knights of Labor, American
Federation of Labor, Brotherhood of
Engineers, Firemen and Brakemen,
Federation of Railway Trainmen, Or
der of Railway Conductors and Farm
ers’ Alliance.
The details of the conference were
not given out, but it is learned from a
reliable source that the speakers do
not favor amalgamation of the differ
ent trades and labor organizations.
They advocated, however, harmonious
union and concerted action in all mat
ters concerning their mutual benefit
and for tbe purpose of the protection
of labor against capital. It believes
was constantly tryiDg to inject the
ories where common sense should pre
vail. Indian inspectors, he said, now
performed the identical service which
the commission is required to perform,
and the fund appropriated to the com
mission is principally spent in main
taining an office and paying the sala
ries of men who have absolutely noth
ing to do. By a large majority the
house sustained Judge Maddox ana
struck the clause from the bill.
LAWLESSNESS IN ALABAMA.

Wednesday a mob of armed strikers
went to a bridge qpon the Richmond

band left and hurried down the track
about three hundred yards, where they
saturated another bridge and set it ou

a large bridge with dynamite.

A FAMILY ROW
Precipitated Over a Burial Site for
Senator Vance’s Body.
A dispatch from Asheville, N. C.,
says: The widow of Senator Zebulon
B. Vance came to Asheville Wednes
day and had the body of the senator
removed from the Vance family plot
in the cemetery, where it Was origi
nally buried to a plot she had bought
the day the senator was buried. Chas.
M. Vance, son of the senator, and his
private secretary during his life, ar
rived in Asheville Saturday, had the
body again disinterred and reburied
in the family plot.
Young Vance declares that it was
his father’s dying request that his body
should be buried in this plot, which
the senator had bought aud beautified
during his life, and that bis wife’s body
(young Vance’s mother) should be
placed beside him.
Vance says that he is determined
that his father’s wishes shall be obeyed
if the law has to be invoked in order
to carry them out.
The plot of ground to which Mrs.
Vance had the senator’s body removed
is a hill top, the mOsc beautiful and
commanding spot in thecemetery, and
her object in placing the senator’s
body was the fitness of the site for the
erection of a great monument to the
senator’s memory by the people of the
state.
Mrs. Vance is a Catholic, and when
it was found that the senator waB dying
a priest was about to perform the last
sacrament, when Charles N. Vance in-
terferred. Senator Vance was a Prot
estant, and, it is said, had requested
that none of the rites of the Catholic
church be allowed over him.
Young Vance said he would permit
his father’s body to be removed to the
plot secured by Mrs. Vance provided
his first wife’s- body be placed beside
the senator’s, but this Mrs. Vance de
clined to agree to.

Telegrams received from the centers
of Ohio show that the miners are ex

may be an organized movement led by
President A. A. Adams in resistance to
the order to go to work. State officials
are afraid now that the miners will be
more difficult to control than before.

PANAMA IN FLAMES.
The City Nearly Destroyed- Loss of
Three Million Dollars.
The greatest calamity that has ever
befallen Panama was a fire which
started Wednesday afternoon nnd
burned fiercely for nine hours before
it wss gotten under control. The
flames were finally subdued after hav
ing destroyed over 300 buildings in the
most thickly populated section of the
city, including the prefecture and the
Chinese quarters.
The loss of property amounts to
nearly $3,000,000. The insurance is
estimated at only about$600,000. One-
third of the area of the city is devasta
ted and 5,000 persons are rendered
homeless. The fire burned nearly
every building on Lastablas, Juan
Ponce, Lastamas, Salisfudes and Es-
panadas streets. The city market was
saved.

clares a New Law Unconstitutional.
The state supreme court has decided
that women had no right to vote iu

exercised the right of suffrage it was
an illegal assumption of power. The
decision came up in connection with a

right to vote can be conferred by the

TRADE NOTES.
Business of the Past Week as Re
viewed by Dun & Co.
R. G. Dan & Co.’s review of trade
for the past week says: “The outlook
for business seems a little better on
the whole, though the change is not
great. Moreover, it is impossible to
distinguish between tbe mere replace
ment or orders canceled for want of
fuel or other causes, and the new bus
iness for which works are anxiously
looking. That cancellations have been
heavy is certain, and it is not entirely
clear that orders of equal magnitude
have gone to other works that are able to
fill them. Through the agency of strikes
the interruption of industry and com
merce increases every week. Hence, it
is somewhat encouraging that the de
crease in payments through clearing
houses is but 24.3 per cent for the first
week of Jane, 27.2 at New York, but
only 19.4 elsewhere. The decrease in
comparison with 1892 is abont 90 per
cent. With only 2,937 coke oven work
ing and 14,576 idle, with the Cambria
discharging half its force, seven out of
nine of the Carnegie furnaces at Besse
mer out of .blast, tbe production and
manufacture of iron and steel are
smaller than at any other time for
years. While it is believed that de
ferred work will cause heavy produc
tion after the strike terminates, the
demand for product is at present much
below general expectation even at the
east. Other industries have been le3s
affected, but malf of textile mills,
even in New 'England, have now
been closed for lack of fuel or of or
ders, besides other concerns in great
numbers between the Atlantic and the
Mississippi river.
“The market for goods is dull and
weak, with further reductions in price,
and stocks visible accumulating. The
banks here continue to receive from
the interior abont as much money as
they lose by gold exports, though the
crop-moving season is close at hand.
Customs receipts are again 36 per
cent, less than a year ago, and inter
nal revenue 23 per cent less for the
week. Exports of domestic products
have been exceeding last year’s a little.
“The returns of failures are still en
couraging, 216 in the United States for
the week, against 322 last year, and 40.
in Canada, against 27 last year. The
liabilities in all failures reported in the
month of May were $13,305,357, abont
$5,420,000 at the east, $4,500,000 at
the south and $3,400,000 at the west.
Of the aggregate, $5,165,025 wa8 of
manufacturing, and £6.883,499 o!

KAL.soMivr.vei.
Kalsomining, or wall coloring in
distemper, is best done when wall.s
are not too cold or too hot. It may
be done any time during the winter,
so that the walls do not freeze. There
are a good many preparations put up
for this purpose and called by various
names. However, if you are where
yon_ cannot procure this, it may bj
prepared in the following manner:
White—To ten pounds of best whiting
nse li pounds of white glue, half a
pound alnm andai little ultramarine
blue. Put the glue in cold water, set
it on the fire and stir nntil dissolved.
Put a half a gallon of hot water over
the whiting, and when dissolved add
the glue, the blue and the alum, which
must also be dissolved in hot water.
Stir the mixture well end run through
a sieve. For first coating this may be
used while hot, but the other coats
must be cold. If your color works
too stiff, a little soap will help. All
colors and shades are made by adding
the dry colors. Before kalsomining,
the cracks and nail holes should he
filled with plaster of paris. Mix this
with paste, and it will not dry so
quickly. If yon have a good brash
and work as quickly as possible to
avoid laps, you will have a good job of
kalsomining. A nice stencil border
run around the top of the wall makes
a neat finish.

DAILY PROCEEDINGS OF BOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
The Discussion of Important 5Ieasures
Briefly Epitomized.
Scientists Puzzled.
The Government scientists are dread
fully puzzled sometimes by odd things
sent to them for identification. For a
long time they eonld make nothing out
of a box fall of small hard balls of
fibroas material, stated to have been
picked np on a Western prairie, which
were forwarded to the National
Museum. It was finally discovered
that they were buffalo cuds. When
the animals were killed and cut up on
the plains the cuds were left behind—
hard wads of dried grass made com-
oset with digestive gluten and calcn-

In the house, Monday, all efforts to
consider bills by unanimous consent
failed. A resolution, introduced by
Mr. Baily, of Texas, was favorably re

ell messages, proclamations and inau
gural addresses of presidents of the
United States from 1789 to 1894, in
clusive.
The first hour and a half in the

The house, Wednesday,passed a full

courts of appeals so as to permit ap
peals to be taken trom their judgments

panying injunctions. The Indian ap
propriation bill was than taken up in

No time was lost by the house
Thursday in getting to work on the
Indian appropriation bill, and ten
minutes after meeting, the house went
into committee of the whole on the
Indian Dill.

At 10 :3G Monday tho tariff bill was
taken np iQ the senate, the question

gress was made during tho session.

TO EXECUTE HIMSELF.
Cronin Will Hang on a New and Im
proved Gallows.
A dispatch from Hartford, Conn.,
says: Warden Woodbridge, of tho
Connectiont state prison, has placed in
the new execution house an improved
gallows, by which a condemned man
becomes his own executioner. By
stepping on the drop he starts a flow
of water. The weight of the water
finally releases the spring which holds
the drop. Jack Cronin has been sen
tenced to die by this machine on Au
gust 2d. At the session of the state
board of charities, Dr. A. W. Tracy,
president of the board, presented his
written protest against the hanging of
Cronin by Warden WoodbiiJge’**
contrivance. Dr. Tracy argues that it
is illegal, because tbe law cannot com
pel a man to be his own executioner or
a suicide. The law, he says, requires
that an officer charged with executing
the senten'ce shall perform his duty
and not shift any part of it to the
victim.

Culmination of a Love Affair Which
Began at Saratoga.
Jennie Mayo, of Middlesex, Vt., was
married to Thomas Strong, of Castle-
ton, Vt. The bride is a well known
young society woman of Middlesex,
and the groom is a negro porter at the

riage ceremony was performed by tho
pastor of the African Methodist Epis
copal church, and was witnessed by
half a dozen people. Last summer
Miss Mayo and her mother went to
Saratoga and registered at Congress
hall. Miss Mayo,who is about twenty-
four years old, became acquainted with
Strong and soon the affection between
them ripened into love. 'About a
month ago Strong returned to Saratoga
for the season. Miss Mayo had been
kept apprised of bis movements. Tho
two met in Saratoga and A'cre married.
The marriage certificate is signed by
Mrs. L. Van Dyke and Miss May Wine-
berry. Four years ago Strong’s sister
ran away with a white man and mar
ried him.
