SmngKllni Jhlih Chinaman.
Important disclosures as to a sys
tematic underground railroad arrange
ment for smuggling Chinese into the
United States by way of Canada are
contained in a report just made to the
treasury department by Special Agent,
C. J. Smith, stationed at Boston,Mass.
He report the arrest on the charge
of fraudulently introducing Chi
nese into tho United States of
five . persons, named Charles L.
Smith, Will Hopkins and Mrs. Will
Hopkins, all of West Charleston, Vt.;
China Poy, of Lindenville, Vt., and
Frank C. Park, of St. Jolinsbury, Vt.

Stanshead, P. Q., and Frank Ross, of
Charleston, Vt.—the latter the father
of Mrs. W. Hopkins—on tho same
charge, but as yet these two parties
have not been apprehended.
Of Interest to Millers.
The department of agriculture is in
formed that the exhibit of milled pro
ducts to be held at Mainz, Germany,
in August next, is a matter that will
be of great interest to millers in this
country. It is expected to bring to
gether thousands of bakers from all
parts of Germany and continental Eu
rope. At the same time, the national
association of bakers will meet there,
of which three-fourths of the bakers
in Germany aje members, and
Switzerland, Holland and Austria
will be represented. An excel
lent opportunity will .be afforded
American cereals, in view of the re
cent modification by Germany of the
discriminating tariff imposed upon
milled as compared with unmilled
products, which was an almost effectual
barrier to the introduction of Ameri
can flour materials, etc., into that
country. The duty is now the same
on cereals, whether milled or unmilled;
and this duty is consideraly less than
that levied on Russian cereals. Before
the reduction was made, the tariff was
about three time as great as it is at
present.
The Pabllc Debt .Statement.
The public debt statement issued
Friday, shows that there was a de
crease of $739,425.99 during the month

the previous month.
The President’s Views.
President Cleveland in reply to a
direct question by a representative of
the Associated Press Monday evening
said that he intended to call an extra
session of congress not earlier than
the Ist or later than the 15th of Sep
tember, unless some unexpected con
tingencies should necessitate an earlier
meeting. He further said: “While
there has been no mystery nor secrecy
in regard to my intention in this mat
ter,l think it not amiss that our people
should be informed authoritatively that
the time is at hand when their repre
sentatives in congress will be called
upon to deal with a financial condition
which is tho only menace to tho coun
try’s welfare and prosperity. It is
well for the people to take up the sub
ject for themselves and arrive at their
own conclusions as to the merits of a
financial policy which obliges us to
purchase idle silver bullion with gold
taken from our reserve. One does not
need the eye of a financier to see that
this gold thus subtracted from the gov
ernment’s stock is eagerly seized by
other nations for tho purpose of
strengthening their credit at our ex
pense. It does not need the art of
statesmanship to detect the danger
that awaits upon tho continuance of
this action. Already tho timidity of
capital is painfully apparent, and
none of us fail to seo that fear ap
prehension in monetary circles will
ultimately bring suffering to every
humble homo in our land. I think
that between now and the meeting of
congress much depends upon the ac
tion of those engaged in financial
operations and business en
terprises. Our national re
sources and national credit are
abundantly sufficient to justify them
in the utmost faith and confidence.
If, instead of being frightened, they
are conservative and contribute their
share of help and steadiness, they will
perform a patriotic duty, and at the
same time protect their own interests.
Tho things just now needed ase cool
ness and calmness in financial circles
and sturdy reflection among our peo
ple.”
JUDGE DUBOSE GUILTY.
♦
He is Forever Debarred From Holding
Office in Tennessee.
Julius J. Dubose, formerly judge of
B)>elby county criminal court,has beon
formally declared convicted of misde
meanor in office and forever barred
from holding office in Tennessee. The
state senate has boon sitting as a court
of impeachment since May 10th. The
hearing of evidence concerning the
thirty-six charges consumed over two
weeks a*.d the argument a week.
A vote jvas finally reached Friday.
The senate was unanimously in favor
of acquitto.l on seven charges, on
eighteen charges a majority voted not
guilty, on four the vote was a tie, on
five a majority said guilty, but on on
ly two chargos did the necessary two
thirds say guilty. These were charges
25 and 31, that tho judge had set aside
the writ of habeas corpus by instruct
ing Sheriff McLendon to hold a pris
oner, no matter what the decision of
Judge Estes might be, and trying by
threats to compel Lady P. Mcßride
to relinquish to a trustee SIO,OOO in
proporty that the circuit court had de
creed to her in divorce proceedings.
Judge Dubose’s counsel at once
moved that tho court set aside the
judgment on the ground that the arti
cles upon which he was convicted do
not charge him with the commission of
any act which was a crime under the
laws of the state of Tennessee at the
timo it was committed. Messrs. Si
monton and Chalmers made pathetic
and urgent appeals, but the court un
animously ruled the motion out of or
der. Mr. Simonton then asked leavo
to file a bill of exceptions, which was
also ruled out of order.
Then, as a last resort, Mr. Simonton
asked that the clerk be authorized to
furnish a certified copy of the evi
dence so that the case might be ap
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States. This was also over
ruled, and on motion of Mr. Barton a
resolution was then unanimously
adopted formally declaring Judge Du
bose convicted of misdemeanor in of
fice and forever barring him from
holding office in the state. The costs,
amounting to about $9,000, were then
charged to the defendant and the court
adjourned.
Deed to a Railroad.
A deed to the Atlanta and Florida
railroad was signed and delivered at
Atlanta, Ga., Monday afternoon, to
the purchasers of that line. The doc

of the bondholders’ reorganization
committee. The deed states that the
purchaser has paid to the receiver of
the Atlanta and Florida railroad one
hundred thousand dollars in cash, and
bonds and coupons of the same road
amount to about four hundred thous

A*c Yon Going To The World’s Fair?
If so, see that your ticket reads via
Cincinnati and the C. H. kD. and
Mo non—the acknowledged “World’s
Fair Route”
The only line out of Cincinnati con
necting with E. T. V. <fc G. and Q. & C.
train No. 2, arriving Cincinnati 10:30
p. m. A solid train carrying through
sleepers from Jacksonville, Savannah,
Birmingham, Atlanta, Chattanooga,
Macon and New Orleans via E. T. V.
& G., Q. & C., C. H. k D. and Monon
Route to Chicago.
You can stop over in Cincinnati if
your ticket rea'ds via the C. 11. k D.
and Monon Route, by depositing same
with the Merchants’ and Manufactu
rers’ Association, Chamber of Com
merce Building, corner of Fourth and
Vine streets, one block from Fountain
Square (the C. H. k D. ticket office is
in the same building.) This enables
you to visit the picturesque “Queen
City” nt no additional cost,and special
efforts will be made to entertain stran
gers hospitably and reasonably.
The universal verdict of the travel
ing public is that the Pullman Safety
Vestibuled trains, running every day,
“and Sunday too,” via the C. H. it D.
and Monon, between Cincinnati, In
dianapolis and Chicago, are without
doubt the “finest on earth.” These
trains were especially built by the
Pullman Company for this
service, and embrace every im
provement. Their magnificent coaches,
luxurious smoking cars, superb]sleepers,
observation cars, compartment sleep
ing cars and unexcelled dining car ser
vice, afford “all the comforts of
home.”
Leaving Cincinnati you pass through
the beautiful Miami Valley, and for
twenty-five miles the double tracks run
through the very front door
yards of the finest suburban homes in
the country. Beyond Hamilton and up
to Indianapolis, the line is noted for
its scenic beauty.
A stop over at Indianapolis, the
capital of Indiana, may be obtained
by depositing your ticket with the
Secretary of the Commercial Club.
This city is more worthy of a visit
than almost any other of its size in
the West, and offers the greatest in
ducements to traveler and tourist.
Between Indianapolis and Chicago the
line traverses the very best agricultu
ral and commercial territory, and the
ride is one of unparalleled comfort
and beauty.
Bear in mind that the C. 11. &D.
and Monon Route trains all run via
Burnside Crossing, from which point
the Illinois Central suburban trains
run direct to the World’s Fair grounds
every moment. At Englewood con
nection is made with the electric cars,
which run every five minutes to the
grounds,but we recommend all persons
to go directly into the Dearborn sta
tion, which is located in the heart of
the city and from which all street car
lines converge, then go directly
by car or cab to your hotel or board
ing place. First locate yourself;
know where and how you are to live
while in Chicago. Get the local
ity firmly fixed in your mind, before
going to the World’s Fair by any of
the numerous convenient ways; the
cable cars, electric roads, elevated
railroad, Illinois Central Iv. R., subur
ban trains and the steamboats afford
ample accommodations for all possible
visitors, and it is but live minutes’
ride from the business portion of the
city to the grounds. Take your break
fast down town, buy your lunch at the
grounds, and take your supper down
town. If you follow these suggestions
you will save money. The facil
ities for serving lunch at the
World’s Fair Grounds are extraordi
nary and the prices are cheaper than
at your own home, but breakfast and
supper should be taken down town, or
at your boarding house. The World’s
Fair is already the most astounding
and stupendous spectacle ever attempt
ed by any people, and a day’s visit
will afford more delight and instruc
tion than can possibly be obtained in
any other way. or by the same exp( n 1-
iture of money. For further particu

Mexican Corn Importations.
A San Antonio special says: Gen
eral Warren T. Sutter, consul general
of the United States for north Mexico,
has just completed his report, which
shows that the importation of corn ip
to Mexico during the fourteen months
ending February 28,1893, were 353,-
800,000 pounds, valued at $6,000,-
JDOO. Mr. Sutter states that but for
the nearness of the United States and
the urjimited supply, thousands of the
very poor of Mexico must have died
for lack of food. As it was there was
much severe suffering and tho effect
will be felt for years.
The Stockholders Assessed.
A Nashville special says: The first
official indication as to the true condi
tion of the affairs of the defunct Com
mercial National bank was given Fri
day when the fact came out that the
comptroller of the currency had is
sued a call on the stockholders for a
half million dollars, the amount of
the bank’s capital. Under this cali
each stockholder will have to pay the
full face value of his holdings or the
whole amount for which he is liable.
The Homestead Trials E nded.
All of the charges of murder, etc.,
against H. C. Frick and others of the
Carnegie Steel company officials, as
well as the Pinkerton detectives, were
dropped in court at Pittsburg, Pa.,
Saturday morning. In turn all the
strikers who had been arrested and as
yet have been released on
their own recognizance. This virtual
ly ends all of the Homestead cases in
connection with the big strike of last
year.

Care of Bread After Baking.
Remove the bread from the pans as
soon as baked, and place the loaves
where the air can circulate freely
around them, thus allowing the gas
which has formed, but is no longer
needed, to escape. An old wire win
dow screen, too small for modern win
dows, with cleats on the ends to keep
them two or three inches from the
table, will answer as well as a cooler.
Many use a 6ieve, but that is too
small, and leaves the mark of the larger
cross wires on the loaf. Never leave
the loaves on the table to sw'eat and
absorb the odor of the Avood, and do
not cover them if you Avant the crust
crisp.
To give the bread that soft, tender,
Avafer-like consistency, wrap it in sev
eral thicknesses of bread cloth. When
cold remove the cloth, as that absorbs
the moisture and gives the bread an
unpleasant taste and odor. Place the
loaves in a stone jar or tin box well
covered and carefully cleansed from
crumbs and stale bread. Scald and
wipe dry every two or three days. A
yard and a half square of coarse table
linen will answer for a bread cloth.
Keep a good supply of these, in order
that they may always be SAveet and
clean, and never use them for other
purposes. — Exchange.

A Matter of Health
IT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder
than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater -
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.

should.” The proportion seemed
pretty large, but an eminent British
physician of a former generation said
almost the same thing—that one
fourth of what we eat goes to sustain
life, while three-fourths go to imperil
it. Another physician wittily remark
ed that most people dig their oAvn
graves Avith their teeth. The founda
tion of the habit of over-eating is apt
to be laid in childhood and youth,
since the stomach then seems almost
able to bear anything. There would be
little danger of eating too much if the
food were always plain and simple; in
that ease the natural appetite would be
a safe and sufficient guide. The trou
ble is that the natural appetite is too
often spoiled by cakes, pies, condi
ments and highly* seasoned food.

rops her anchor. This is worth knowing, and

“August,
“ For two years I suffered terribly
witli stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. It seem
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like anew man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me.”
