A Chicago special of Thursday says:
The opinion is unanimous among
lawyers that the gates of the World’s
fair will be opened every day in the
week from now until it is finally closed
next October. The appelate court will
not be in session until after the mid

passed on until October.
The plant of the A r alley Falls com
pany at W oonsocket, R. 1., engaged in
the manufacture of colored cotton
dress goods, and running 340 looms
with 135 hands and weekly pay roll of
SI,OOO, have shut down for an indefi

families of Michael Lappin and Den
nis M. Conley. The buildings were
crushed and four of the inmates lost
their lives.
The gates of the world’s fair were
thrown open Sunday, but the gates of
the turnstiles failed to click as merrily
as on former Sundays. People who
did attend the fair were either stran
gers in the city for a limited stay or
city people who strolled out to pass a
day in the cooling shades of the
wooded islands. The buildings were
open, but the majority of the exhibits
were hidden beneath stretches of can
vas.

cers of the fifty-first congress.
News is received from Washington
that the abstract of the national banks
of Georgia to the close of business Ju
ly 12th, make a fairly good showing
in comparison with the banks of other
centers, and a very good showing in
deed when the requirements of the na
tional banking law are taken into con
sideration. The Georgia banks hold
a reserve fund of twenty-five and fifty
two one hundredth per cent, while the
requirement of the law is only fifteen
per cent.
A report reached New York City
Thursday night that the steamship
Karmania, from Naples. hsft| arrived
at quarantine with cholera on board.
Three deaths among the passengers
occurred during the voyage. Dr.

board authorities. The latter so far
refuse to enlighten the public on the
matter.
Evidence of a startling nature con
cerning the cold storage warehouse fire
was taken by the grand jury at Chi
cago Thursday. The witness who gave
the startling testimony was John Jos
eph Duggan, formerly a Stony Island
avenue saloon keeper, and the man
who first told of the looting of the
cold storage ware House and its firing

and excited with the inquisition he
had undergone, but said he had made
a clean breast of it all.
A disastrous explosion occurred
Thursday on board the German armor
clad steamer, Baden, at Keil, Germa
ny. Lieutenants Oelsner and Zam

wounding nearly every person in the
immediate vicinity.
A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch of Thurs

the largest concerns in the Pittsburg
district, whose mines are located on
the line of the Pennsylvania railroad
are unable to pay their miners in full.

eastern end of the Cherokee strip, to
the government, and the commission
will return to AVashington in a few
days. These Indians are w r orth $15,-
000 in cash and over one thousand
acres of land for every man, woman
and child in the tribe, and do not care
to be crowded by w r hite people.
CONGRESS IN SESSION.
Tie Daily Routine ol BotS Honses
Briefly Epitomized.
Both Houses Organized and Ready foi
Business.
The fifty-third congress, democratic
in both branches, met and organized
Monday morning.
THE SENATE.
The senate was called to order at
noon, and the opening prayer made by
the outgoing chaplain, Mr. Butler.
After the president’s proclamation was
read, the oath of office administered to
Senators Quay, of Pennsylvania, and
Pasco, of Florida, a communication was
read frdm Beckwith, of Wyoming, an
nouncing that, owing to a combination
of circumstances, he had placed his res
ignation as senator in the hands of the
governor. The communication was
placed on file. .The secretary-elect of
senate, Cox, of North Carolina, had the
oath administered to him, and took
possession of the office. The usual
resolutions to notify the house and
president were adopted, and then at
12 :30, the death of late Senator Stan
ford, of California, was announced by
Senator White, of that state, and as a
mark of respect, the senate adjourned
until Tuesday.
THE HOUSE.
As early as 10:30 the house galleries
devoted to public use were filled to
repletion. At 11 o’clock the reserved

Happenings from Day to Day in lie
National Capital
Appointments in the Yarions Depart
ments—Other Notes of Interest.
It is stated that the president will
send a special message to congress at its
extra session in regard to the Hawai
ian question.
Surgeon General Wyman received a
cable message Thursday morning from
Surgeon E. B. Young, of the Marine
Hospital service, stationed at Naples,
stating that the condition of affairs in
that city in regard to cholera is grow
ing worse.
President Cleveland, accompanied
by Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont
and Attorney General Olney, arrived
in Washington at 1:40 o’clock Satur
day afternoon over the Pennsylvania
railway. They were all met by their
respective private secretaries. The
president was driven directly to the
white house.
Acting Secretary Curtis has ordered
the force of the bureau of engraving
and printing to work an extra -hour
each day until further orders, begin
ning Monday next, in printing na
tional bank notes, for which the de
mand just now is very great. This
demand is occasioned by the fact that
national banks are expending their
circulation.
The fifty-third congress started ofl
with a full house. Nearly every mem
her answered to roll call. There never
has been a session so momentous and
members with such widely diverging
views. Nearly every member has some
theory, with which he hopes to relieve
the financial stringency, and incident
ally, for the sake of his constituents,
to have spread tipon the pages of the
Congressional Records.
Advices of Thursday state that Sen
ator Vest, after having prepared a bill
for free coinage at the ratio of twenty
to one, has discussed the subject -with
Acting Director of the Mint Preston.
Mr. Test has changed his bill to
a ratio of twenty-four to one and w ill
introduce it iu that shape. It is
understood that the administration is
willing to accept twenty-four to one,
and there may be a compromise on
that basis.
Judge Crisp says he is unable to
give any information oi make any pre
dictions as to the policy of congress,
as he has seen but few members. He
says there is a manifest diversity of
opinion. It is apparent that the demo
crats are waiting to hear from the
president. His message will no donbl
tend to crystalize democratic opinion.
Southern democrats and those from
the middle west say they have no sym
pathy with the western mine owners
and operators.
Heretofore it has been the custom
to examine every tenth bale of impor
ted tobacco to determine the grade, so
as to properly assess the rate of duty.
Loss of revenue has resulted from this
method, and now Acting Secretary
Curtis has directed that not less than
an average of every fourth bale of im
ported tobacco be examined. This ac
tion is mainly directed against fraudu
lent importations of Sumatra wrappers
for tobacco, the duty on which is $2
per pound.
At the democratic caucus Hon, Charles
F. Crisp, of Georgia, was unanimously
renominated for speaker of the house
of representatives of the fifty-third
congress. Mr. Kerr, of Pennsylvania,
was renominated for clerk by acclama
tion. The doorkeeper contest ended
before the caucus. All the candidates
except Mr. Hurt, of Chattanooga, had
withdrawn and he was elected. Ex-
Congressman Snow, of Illinois, de
feated Mr. Yoder, of Ohio, for ser
geant-at-arms bv one vote. It stood
96 to 95.
For the twelfth time in the history
of the United States, congress con
venes in “extraordinary session.”
The history which the session wfill
probably make for itself will probably
justify that title in more senses than
one. Convened for a single specific
object—the repeal or modification of
what is popularly known as the Sher
man act —it will not be restricted to
that bare programme, but will have, in
connection with it, to legislate on the
whole subject of finance, including,
probably, a thorough revision of the
tariff.
Minister Blount’s long expected re
port on Hawaiian affairs in the posses
sion of the secretary of state. It arrived
in the official dispatch bag from San
Francisco,in company with a coromu
cation from Mr. Severance, the U. S.
consul general in Hawaii, telling of
the Fourth of July celebration in Hon
olulu, at which Minister Blount pre
sided. Mr. Blount is expected in
Washington about August 20th to par
ticipate in the conference of the presi
dent and Secretary Gresham over the
amended protocol of a treaty submit
ted by the provisional government.
The sentiment among southern con
gressmen is strong and apparently al
most unanimous,in favor of repealing
the Sherman act. The southern mem
bers will vote for repeal. The project
of making an agreement to consider a
silver bill after the repeal of the Sher
man act is still being agitated and
grows*more popular. It is not design
ed to interpose any obstacle to the re
peal of the Sherman law, but to vote
for that willingly, then a bill provid
ing for free coinage upon a ratio of
perhaps 24 to 1 will be offered and
duly considered.
The treasury department is taking
measures to curtail the expenses of
the national commission and the board
of lady managers at the World’s Fair.
It is stated that both of these bodies
have been and are now in session un
necessarily, involving large running
expenses. Both bodies have executive
committees authorized to transact any
business demanding urgency, and it is,
therefore, contended that it is not ne
cessary for both or either of them to
remain in session at this time. Sec
retary Carlisle’s attention has been
called to the large expenses thus in
curred, and recommendations have*
l>een made to him looking to the cur
tailing of the expenses of both these
bodies.
Everybody should re 4 the paper and
keep up with the tiipcs.

Notes of Her Progress and Prosperity
Briefly Epitomize!
And Important Happenings from Day
to Day Tersely Told.
Hinton E.-Carr, president of the
Tuscumbia, Ala., Banking Company,
has been arrested at Cedar Rapids, la.,
for w'recking his bank.
The Chino, Cal., sugar factory, the
largest in the United States,with max
imum reducing capacity of 734,000
pounds of beet sugar, started up AVed
nesday. The factory gives direct em
ployment to 2,000 men in Chino and
700 at another point.
The Bank of Abingdon aud the Ex
change and Deposit bank at Lynch
burg, A r a., both closed down Saturday
morning. Quiet, but steady withdraw
ing of deposits from both banks for
several xveeks and inability to collect
is the cause. Both banks are entirely
solvent.
A. B. AVheeler, superintendent of
the Biltmore brick and tile works at
Asheville, N. C., w'as arrested AVednes
day morning on a charge of larceny
preferred by Charles Moname, agent
for George AV. A T anderbilt. AVheeler’s
system of stealing, it is alleged, was
falsifying pay rolls.
A Birmingham, Ala., special says:
The plan for the resumption of the
business of the First National bank
has been approved by the clearing
house and cheerfully endorsed by de
positors. Confidence is generally
maintained and the situation is tran
quil. A fortnight will probably see
the First National resume.
The Jacksonville Fla., Clearing
House Association, which represents
four national and two state banks, has
been in existence about a year and has
proved a pronounced success. During
the past week—six days ending Au
gust sth—its exchanges amounted to
$258,143.87; balances, $87,557.66-
total business transacted, $295,701.53.
The grand jury at Memphis Tenn.,
Saturday indicted Sheriff McLendon,
Deputy Sheriff J. A. Perkins, Jailer
Harold and Police Captains O’Hara
and Hackett for failing to do their
duty iu permitting Leo AValker to be
taken from the jail and lynched and
burned two weeks ago. Several of the
members of the mob w ere also indicted.
The First National Bank of Bir
mingham, Ala., failed to open its doors
AVednesday morning. The continual
withdrawal of deposits and inability to
collect money fast enough to meet the
same, was given as the cause. The
First National was the oldest bank in
Birmingham. It has a capital stock of
$150,000. Its assets amounted to
$1,350,000, while the liabilities were
$650,000. The depositors will be paid
dollar for dollar.
A Jackson, Miss., special of Thurs
day says: Judge Chrisman holds that
the Postal Telegraph Company must
pay a privilege tax of $1 per mile per
year. The amount involved is $927.21
as taxes for the last three years with 6
per cent interests. There is more in
volved in the case than the $927.21. If
the postal is exempt other companies
that have been paying taxes will also
claim that they are exempt. The case
will be appealed. The suit was brought
by the state revenue agent.
At a recent meeting in Santa Anna,
Tex., of the citizens of that city, a
series of resolutions were passed in
regard to the extra session of congress.
The resolutions Tirgently requested the
people’s representatives to enact laws
in line with the popular verdict of last
November, to repeal the Sherman law
by substitute, authorizing the coinage
of gold and silver on equal terms,
without discrimination against either
metal, that both gold and silver be
made legal tenders for government
debts, and that the issue of interest
bearing bonds for the purchase of
either gold or silver be discontinued.
CRISP~ AGAIN NOMINATED.
The Democratic Caucus Re-Nominatcs
Him for Speaker of the House.
A AVashington special says: At the
democratic eaucu3 Saturday Hon.
Charles F. Crisp,of Georgia,was unan
imously re-nominated for speaker of
the house of representatives of the
fifty-third congress. Judge Crisp was
escorted to the hall of the house from
the speaker’s room by Messrs. Hatch,
AVilson and Springer. After being in
troduced to the caucus, w'hich received
him with cheers, Speaker Crisp climb
ed to the speaker’s desk,and said:
“lhe extraordinary condition of affairs
throughout the country has necessita ! ed our
meeting iu extraordinary session. Insofar as
that condition is attributable to existing laws
we are in no wise responsible therefor. Now,
for the first time in more than thirty years, wo
are in full power and we can make good laws
and repeal bad ones. The p ople have entrust
ed us with that power and expect us to exercise
it for their benefi. Our financial Bystem
3hould be revised and reformed- The strict
est economy in public expenditures should,
be observed, aud taxation should be equalized
and greatly reduced. To these purposes we
are thoroughly committed. We must redeem
our pledges. Let us begin the work at once.
Let us lay aside every other consideration than
the public good, and endeavor to so discharge
the duties assigned us as to restore confidence,
promote prosperity aud advance the general
welfare of all classes of our people.
“Sincerely grateful for your confidence and
esteem, I pledge myself to devo e to the dis
charge of the duties of the responsible posi
tion you have assigned me all the energy and
ability I poss ss.”

TRADE REPORT.
,1 more Healthy Tone Pervades the
Markets in all Sections.
Bradstreet’s review of trade for past
week says: Good crop prospects south
tend to produce a more hopefuj feel
ing at Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans,
Little Rock, Houston and Galveston.
No currency scarce is denoted at Char
leston or Mobile. Banks at Memphis,
Charleston, New Orleans, Birmingham
and Ricmond appear to regard the
national bank currency issue as a
promised relief. Currency is scarce
at Birmingham, -but confidence since
the bank failure is returning. At
Louisville, were recent bank embar
rassments disturbed trade, confidence
is being restored, though the volume
of business is small.
The Carnegie and some other iron
works have almost ceased producing,
and yet the demand brings no further
stimulant, though prices in this line
are so low that most makers prefer to
6top than to take lower. Failures
during the week number 436 in the
United States, against 146 last year
and thirty-four in Canada against
twenty-four last year. The Avest con
tributed most largely to the number
of failures, 237 being reported from
that section. In the east there were
153 and in the south forty-six. There
were three failures of a million or
more, two at Chicage, and one in Ncw r
York city.
WHAT DUN SAYS.
R. G. Dun’s review of the state of
trade says: Demoralization in specula
tive markets lias been followed by a more
healthy tone and heavy imports of
gold in the hope that monetary trou
bles may abate. Bank failures have
been almost as numerous the past week
as for the two proceeding weeks, but
fewer have been of more than local
importance. The western states show
greater distrust of Aveakness than other
sections. Out of one hundred and
sixty-nine banks that have failed since
March, five were in eastern states, forty
in southern and 115 in western states.
Failures of national banks numbered
fifty-eight, state banks seventy-nine,
private banks sixty-se\ r en.
POSTPONED AGAIN.
The Southern Confederate Reunion
Will be Held in October.
The Southern Confederate reunion,
which was originally to have been held
at Birmingham in July and was then
postponed until September 15th and
16th, has again been postponed tc
take place at Birmingham on Monday
and Tuesday, October 2nd ad 3d.
Among the reasons assigned for
further postponement is the summer
heat, to permit the harvesting of crops,
the hope and belief that the financial
station would greatly improve dur
ing the delay and principally Avas the
desire to afford the old veterans an
opportunity of getting the cheapest
rates to the World’s fair.
Ajutant General Moorman issued a
general order from Headquarters at
New Orleans, Wednesday, announc
ing the postponement, and stating
that the reunion Avould positively take
place at Birmingham on the last nam
ed dates, and that the unveiling of the
confederate monument at Chicago
would occur on October 7th. As this ie
the only confederate monument upon
northern soil erected to commemorate
the six thousand confederate dead
resting in the shades of Oakwood
cemetery, Chicago, Commanding Gen.
Gordon appeals to all comrades to
form clubs and take advantages of the
cheap excursion rates secured for the
occasion. Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge
will be the orator o f the day.
THREE MONTHS MORE
And the Great World’s Fair Will Be
at an End.
The world’s fair is now half over,
and the total paid attendance for the
first three months numbers 7,000,000
persons. Three months of the
show have elapsed, and only three
months remain before the exhibitors
will begin to move out their displays
and the work of tearing down the
white city will begin. After that ac
tion the park will belong to the people
again to be used as they please, and
the greatest fair the world has ever
known will be over and gone.

A SALARY OF $5,00C.
Tliomns E. Jennings Appointed National
Rank Examiner for the Paeiflc
Coast States.
Thomas E. Jennings, late of Nashville, has
been appointed Bank Examiner for the States
of California, Oregon, and Washington, at a
salary of $5,000 p< r annum. He is a son of
Prof. 11. W. Jenning-, of Jennings’ Bus'ness
College, Nashville, and this appointment can
be largely atiributod to the busin ss training
he recoive t from his father, as Avell as to the
latter’s influence in securing positions This
is perhaps the mos r thorough and influential
school in the United States. Its graduates
nearly alAvays get good positions.
Washing the Face.
Some complexion specialists say the
face should never be Avashed. At least
one woman in New York affirms that
she has not Avashed her face in seven
years. She has a beautiful skin, and
when complimented upon it she says:
“Ah, you should have seen my grand
mother’s skin. When she was 70, it
was like a rose leaf, and she had not
washed her face for 26 years.”
Similar stories are told of Mme.
Patti and other persons of remarkably
fine complexions, but the truth of
these is not vouched for by reliable
authorities.
On the other hand,there is a woman
living in NeAv York who make a prac
tice of Avashing her face every night
with soap and hot water. She is over
50 years old, her skin is satin smooth
and the coloring as delicate as that of
a young girl. A friend of hers, who is
of about the same age and has a com
plexion rivaling the other’s, puts only
clear, pure water on her face and
bas not touched it Avith soap in fully
20 years.
The weight of evidence is Avith the
people who use soap, but all agree in
saying that only the finest, purest soap
must be employed, and that eA r ery par
ticle of it must be rinsed off. — Harper's
Bazar.
