The police detectives of New York

sentences aggregating 802 years. Two
hundred and ninety-eight thousand
seven hundred and sixteen dollars worth
of property was recovered.
The latest direction m which British
capitalists have looked for investment in
thu country is toward the big cotton
mills. Negotiations are well advanced
tor the purchase of three of the biggest
mills in America at a cost of $20,000,-
000. Two of, these mills are in New
England, and the third is in the Middle
States.
* The Asiatic cholera, of which, it is
said, the grip is the forerunner, has
reached the Turkish frontier, exposing
Eastern Europe to ita visitation at an
early day. England's sanitary work in
Egypt may prove useful, but hardly ef
fective in stopping the scourge. India
is the country that needs her attention
most.
Physicians appear to conform quitv
generally to the familiar injunction I >
heal themselves save where the complaic.t
is old age. The average age of the <m
cendents of the Massachusetts Medical
Society during the year 1889 reache*.' the
high figure of sixty-eight years and a half,
which comes very close to the anan cf
life allotted to man by the psalmist,
Arthur Mack, ex-chief the fraanghai
detective force, asserts that while China
has a population of over 450,000,000,
yet the criminal element in proportion to
numbers is less than ten per cent, of what
it is in the Chinese quarter of Him Fran
cisco. He accounts for this by the greater
stringency of the laws for tho punish
ment of crime in China and the greater
certainty in their administration.
The largest gun in existence b* hern
sent by Messrs. Krupp to Cronstadt. It
is of cast-steel, weighs 235 tons, has a
barrel 40 feet long, a diameter of 64 feet
in the largest part and a bora of 134
inches. Its range is over 11 miles, and
it will fire two shots per minute, each
shot costing from (1250 to SISOO. In
a trial of the war monster, the projectile
—4 feet long and weighing 1800 pounds,
and propelled by a charge of 700 pounds
of powder—penetrated 19j inches and
went 1312 yards beyond the target.
The attempt to carry on a government
on the “boom' 1 plan has come to grief in
the Argentine Republic. With gold at
240 it will not take long to briDg matters
to a head. The result will be to place
the nation in hopeless debt to the Eu
ropean bondholders who have been ad
vancing money at high rates of usury.
The San Francisco Chronicle thinks there
is nothing the English bondholder enjoys
so much as handling the revenues of a
foreign country in order to pay himself
and his associate bankers a good round
interest. Egypt is in this predicament,
and the ambitious South American lie
public seems to be the next victim.
E. Stone Wiggins, of Canada, is afraid
that, if a clear canal should be cut
through the Isthmus of Panama,the Gulf
of Mexico would drain into the Pacific,
the Gulf Stream move westward and the
climate of Europe become permanently
colder. He has written a long letter on
the subject. “When wc consider,” he
says, “that the Isthmus is simply a huge
dam, resisting the westward tendency of
said gulf, may the canal not act as a
small break which may lead to the sweep
ing away of the whole structure? May
not the water—through a high east wind,
for example—made a sudden run, and
ultimately attain a force and velocity
which no power could resist, and event
ually carry away the peninsula itself?”
In the opinion of the Hartford Courant,
“the enormous increase of the death rate
in the centers of civilisation in Europe
and the United States, by reason of the
spread of the influenza epidemic, con
tains a pertinent suggestion for the sur
vivors. It may be regarded as an ex
ample of the way in which the implacable
law of the ‘survival of the fittest' works
in nature. The epidemic went into com
munities all over the country and at
tacked thousands of persons. Those who
were in good health, whose constitutions
•were vigorous and not impaired by over
indulgence, overwork, dissipation or
sickness, either did not have the disease
at all, or escaped with a very slight at
tack. Few persons who were really in
first-class physical condition had much
trouble with the grip. There are excep
tions to this rule, but they only go to
substantiate its truth.”

In the house, on Saturday morning, the
regular order being demanded, Mr.
Hooker, of Mississippi, proceeded to ad
dress the house upon the world's fair bill.
He spoke iu favor of Washington. Mr.
Mills, of Texas, in a short address also
favored Washington as the site for the
fair. Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, an
nounced his opposition for one reason,
that the proposed exhibition, worevei
held, would involve 11 loss' to the treasury
of the United States of several million
dollars. Air. Blanchard, of Louisiana,
iu reply to Mr. Mills’ re
marks said the discovery by Colunbus
argued that the south lmd more benefits
to expect from the fair than any other sec
tion. The fair would call the attention ot
capitalists of the world to the fields and
forests of the south. Mr. O’Ferrall, of
Virginia, said that the city of his choice
was Washington, where beauty and grand
eur and magnificienee filled th<‘ eye. Mr.
Gibson, of Maryland, was in favor of one
spot which commended itself as a place
where national progress in wealth and
grandeur eoulcf be best seen v\ asinngtou.
Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, wanted a world’s
fair at which our wonderful wealth, skill
and energy could lie exhibited. To have
it anywhere except at the national capita)
would take from it much of its impor
tance. Air. Wilson, of West Vir
ginia, favored the national capital.
Mr. Vandero, of California, argued in fa
vor of St. Louis. Mr. Carlisle wished tc
restate and emphasize the consideration
that would influence his vote. Each ot
the four cities was worthy of the fair.
The exposition was to give tho people ol
the old world not an insight into out
great manufactories and industries only,
but to show them our great country.
The exposition should be held at the cen
ter of the country. St. Louis was the
nearest and Chicago next. He would
vote first for St. Louis and next for Chi
cago. Messrs. Kinsey and Wilson, of
Alissouri, and O'Neill, of Indiana, spokt
for St. Louis, so also did Air. Forman, oi
Illinois (whose district lies opposite St.
Louis and includes East St. Louis), and
Air. Hatch, of Alissouri, and Mr. Outh
waite, of Ohio, advocated the claims ol
Chicago. Air. Alason, of Illinois, was in
favor of Chicago. General Kerr, ol
lowa, Owen of Indiana, and Springer, ol
Illinois, spoke for Chicago. Messrs.
Fitch, Flower, Dunphy, Lansing,
Spinola, Wallace, Raines, Turney,
McCarty and Fjirquhar, all of New
York, again pressed Use cUTms of
the empire city. Faquhar concluded
by offering in behalf of New Yerk $15,-
000,000 and a co*mopolitan people that
know how to care for visitors. Air. Can
dler, of Mas*achusett*, cloed the debate
in words, saying the country could safely
trust the house to discharge its full duty,
and he hoped for a favorable conclusion
upon the question. The house, at the
evening session passed forty private pen
sion bills, and at 10.25 adjourned.

Just now the supply of coffins has been
exhausted and many bodies have been
buried without them.”

TO CLOSE THE FACTORIES
AND TO KEEP THEM CI.OSF.B UNTIL A SET
TLEMENT IS REACHED.
The members of the Manufacturers
association of Woburn. Mass., at a meet
ing Tuesday night, voted to close every
leather factory represented in the associa
tion and to keep them closed until the
men return to work at the factory ol
Beggs & Cobb. This means an enforced
idleness of nearly two thousand men as a
result of the recently adopted price list.

My mother has naa a cougn ror twen
ty years, pneumonia leaving her with a
bronchial trouble. Two years ago, he.
lungs becoming Involved, she became
very much emaciated and lost all
strength, being under regular treatment
of a physician and taking medicine all
the hours of the day. This continued
until a year ago when I saw your adver
tisement of Acker’s English Remedy for
consumption and procured a bottle, as
the tickling in her throat was unremlt
tingand so irritating rs to make talking
imoracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured
and we now buy by the case, she never
being without it. She has no physician
and takes no other medicines. She re
marked lately that if she had not pro
cured It when she did she would be dead.
We have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it. If any
one desiring farther particulars will ad
dress me with a stamp I will answer
with pleasure, as I deem it the best
medicine made. A trial only is neces
sary to convince any one of its merits.

A WOMAN’S DISCOVERY
“Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in this
county. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severe tests, but her vital or

coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr.

and was so much relieved on taking first
dose that she slept all night and with
one bottle has been miraculously cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Luts.” Thus
