Twenty-Fifth Day. —ln the senate,
Tuesday, a resolution for the daily
meeting of the senate at 11 a. m., was
offered by Yoorhees,who said he would
call it np for action Wednesday. An ex
traordinary bill was introduced by Mr.
Peffer for the creation of a department
of education, the construction of a
college of scientific learning in the
District of Columbia, the appropria
tion of $20,000,000 for the purpose,
and the further appropriation of SBOO,-
000,000, the interest of which is to
form a fund for the support of the
college. It also provides that all edu
cational institutions and other matters
pertaining to public iustructiou shall
be under the supervision of the secre
tary of education. The bill was re
ferred to the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. A concurrent res
olution for the appointment of a joint
committee to consider the question of
finance, seven senators and seven rep
resentatives, was introduced by Mr.
Morgan, and went over till Wednes
day. The speech began Monday by
Mr. Peft'er was concluded by him, and
the senate was addressed on the silver
question by Mr. Stewart.
Twenty-Sixth Day.— ln the senate,
Wednesday morning, a bill was intro
duced by Mr. Cullom and referred to
the finance committee for the repeal
of all acts for the creation or mainte
nance of a sinking fund. A report
was made from the committee on priv
ileges and elections for the payment
of $2,500 to each of the three claim
ants for seats under the appointment
of governors, and it was referred to
the committee on contingent ex
penses. The resolution for a 11
o’clock meeting was presented,
and Mr. Yoorhees, who had
offered it withdrew it, stating that he
did so after consultation with the
friends of the repeal bill on the dem
ocratic side who thought that if the
time of the senate was occupied care
fully and conscientiously, as much
progress could be made. Mr. Mor
gan’s resolution for a joint select com
mittee on finance was taken up, and
Mr. Yoorhees having suggested its
reference to the finance committee,
Mr. Morgan argued against the sug
gestion, stating that the purpose of
the resolution was to supercede the
finance committees in each house and
substitute the joint select committee
for them.
Twenty-Seventh Day.— ln the sen
ate, Thursday morning, after the dis
position of some routine business, Mr.
Yoorhees moved to proceed to the
consideration of the bill to repeal the
Sherman act. In connection with that
motion, Mr. Morgan said that al
though he had intended to ask a vote
on his resolution for a joint select
committee on finance, he did not wish
to antagonize the chairman of the
finance committee. He had had some
conference with Yoorhees, and had
agreed not to press his resolution. The
senate then, without any objection,
took up the repeal bill, Mr. Stewart
being entitled to the floor to continue
his speech. Mr. Stewart, however,
offered to forego his right tem
porarily in favor of Mr. Walthall,
who desired to address the senate.
Mr. Walthall expressed his willingness
to co-operate in prompt action on the
bill, and suggested a simple mode to
promote it—that to put into the form
of enactment the declaration of policy
made in the bill. If that were done
the bill could be passed in half the
time. He said the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law did not cause the
present financial conditions, but was
the culmination causes. Other coun
tries which had no Sherman law were
suffering just as much. He w*as 6ure
repeal would lead to a single gold
standard in America. The people of
Mississippi were bimetallists and be
lieved in free and unlimited coinage
of silver. Great interest was mani
fested in Walthall's remarks,and there
were only a few vacant seats on the
floor.
Twenty-Eighth Day. -- Speeches
from democratic senators in the sen
ate Friday on the repeal bill were
made by Messrs. Faulkner of Virginia,
Turpie of Indiana and Jones of Ar
kansas. All of them were in favor of
the repeal of the Sherman act, but
coupled with the condition that silver
should be restored to the position
which it occupied prior to the demon
etization act of 1873.
Twenty-Ninth Day. —The first two
hours of Saturday’s session in the sen
ate were consumed in the discussion
of a resolution offered Friday by Mr.
Pefler to inquire into the refusal of
the national banks of New York, Bos
ton and Philadelphia to pay the checks
of their depositors in currency. The
discussion was unfinished when the
morning hour closed (at 2 o’clock p.
m.), and, under the rules, the resolu
tion went to the calendar, whence it
cannot be taken except by a vote of
the senate. And so that particular
resolution will be heard of
no more during the present session.
The remainder of the day was occupied
by Mr. Teller in a speech, most of
which was devoted to a denunciation
of the newspaper press of the country
—especially the metropolitan part of
it—for its impudence and mendacity.
He was finally interrupted by Mr.
Yoorhees, who said that the senator
from Colorado, he knew, was suffer
ing from a throat cold. Hti had now
been speaking for nearly two hours,
and if the senator would yield to
him, he, Mr. Voorhees,would move that
the senate go into executive session.
The vice president announced the
following appointments to committees :
Mr. Perkins, republican, of Alabama,
civil service and retrenchments, edu
cation and labor, naval affairs, Indian
depredations, select committee to in
vestigate condition of the Potomac
river. Mr. Quay, republican, of Penn
sylvania, pensions, Mr. Carey, repub
lican, of Wyoming, public buildings
and grounds. After an executive ses
sion, the senate at 4:59 o’clock ad
journed till Monday.
THE HOUSE.
Twenty-Fifth Day,—The session of
the house was taken up in the further
consideration of the rules.
Twenty-Sixth Day —There were not
more than a hundred members pres
ent when the house was called to order
Wednesday morning. Mr. Talbert,
of South Carolina, asked leave to in
troduce a bill for the enlargement of
the volume of the currency. Mr.
Brosius, Pennsylvania, objected. The
house then resumed consideration of
the new code of rules, the pending
question being the Kyle amendment,
striking from the rules the clause
making one hundred members a quo
rum in committee of the whole. Mr.
Kvle’s motion was agreed to, 118 to
61.
Twenty-Seventh Day. —The consid
eration of the rules were continued in
the house Thursday.
Twenty-Eighth Day. —Though the
house was not in session Friday there
was a large gathering of representa
tives discussing the merits of the pro
posed amendment. A number of those
who voted for unconditional repeal
say that they are ready to vote for Mr.
Faulkner’s plan is accepted by the
senate.
Twenty-Ninth Day. —The speaker

It is the attachment of the Memphis

Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
The Clark Foundry and Machine
Works at Knoxville, Tenn., were de
stroyed by fire shortly after midnight
Wednesday night. Fire had been left
in the coke ovens. The loss is $20,000,
but is said to be fully insured.
The Yourtree ore mine and the
Russellville coal mines, of Alabama,
which suspended about two months
ago, will resume operations on full
time. About two thousand men will
be given work. The companies have
contracts enough ahead to run the
mines night and day for six months.
The forecast of the crop returns of
the North Carolina agricultural de
partment for September shows a de
preciation of prospects of 25 per cent,
from the August report. This is
caused by the recent fearful cyclone
that passed over the state. The dam
age was done by severe winds and
floods. Tobacco suffered more than
any other crop. Corn and cotton also
were greatly damaged.
A Jackson, Miss., special of Wednes
day says: The board of control, af
ter a thorough investigation of all the
charges preferred against the prison
management and M. L. Jenkins, war
den, has arrived at the conclusion that
the charges were not sustained by the
evidence. The warden was fully exon
erated. Messrs. McLaurin and As
kew voted against it, and Governor
Stone and Attorney General Johnston
voted in the affirmative.
A dispatch of Wednesday from
Montgomery, Ala., says: The last
legislature passed an aot requiring the
convicts to be taken out of the mines
where they are now being worked. At
a meeting of the board of convict in
spectors a tract of land containing
twenty-four hundred acres were select
ed and purchased. The land is near
Springner’s, on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, where the convicts
are to be carried as rapidly as the law
will permit.
The Memphis Commercial's crop
report for Mississippi, Tennessee and
Arkansas, published Thursday shows
a reduction in the cotton crop in the
Memphis district below former limits.
The continued drought is playing
havoc with the cotton plant, and un
less it rains within a few days the
damage will be still greater. In addi
tion to the drought and cold nights
the boll-worms have added in reduc
ing the yield. Corn will make three
fourths of an average.
A Columbia, S. C., special says:
Governor Tillman Thursday afternoon,
made reply to the decree of United
States Cirt Judge Simonton,imprison
ing his constable, Swann, for seizing
a barrel of whisky at the South Caro
lina depot. The governor says the
decree is intended to bring the admin
istration of the dispensary law into
disrepute and to paralyze the state
constables in their efforts to prevent
the importation of contraband liquors
into the state. He says it is so ‘‘il
logical, prejudiced and tyrannical that
he feels constrained against his will
to criticise it.”
Blount’s Successor.
A Washington special of Tuesday
says; Ex-Congressman Willis, of Ken
tucky, has been appointed as the suc
cessor to Mr. Blount as minister to
Hawaii. Mr. Blount himself indica
ted his successor. Mr. Willis is also
a personal friend of Secretary Carlisle,
and he is regarded as a man of unus
ual ability, serving three terms in con
gress, representing the Louisville dis
trict. While in congress he was chair
man of the committee on rivers and
harbors, and on the committee on ed
ucation and labor.

A dispatch of Sunday from Fort
Wayne, Ind., says: Ered O’Connor,
the train dispatcher whose forgetful
ness caused the wre*k on the Fort
Wayne road, in which a dozen lives
were lost, has not been seen by any of
his friends since. A few minutes be
fore he left the city he sent a message
to the coroner of Cook county re
questing him to release all of the men
held for the accident, as all of them
were entirely innocent, he alone being
to blame.
At 6 :45 o’clock Sunday morning two
freight trains on the Nickel Plate rail
road crashed into each other, four
miles west of Ohio. The
result was that two engines were wreck
ed, and forty cars were piled on each
other in a mass of debris. Fifty cat
tle lie by the side of the tracks which
are torn up for a distance of 200 yards
and all travel is stopped. John Da
vidson, engineer of the east bound
freight, was instantly killed, and his
fireman, J. N. Upher and Charles
Merritt, of the west bound train, are
dying from terrible injuries.
A Columbia, S. C., special of Satur
day says: The phosphate outlook in
the state is blue, consequent upon
the damage done by the recent torna
do. Governor Tillman states that the
phosphate men proposed to the state
that they be allowed to go back to
work at a royalty of 50 cents per ton
instead of sl, for a term of one year
without limit to the amount of rock
mined. He stated to them that he
was not willing to accede to such an
agreement for it would be unfair to
the state, even if he had a right to
make such a contract.
RUTH HAS A SISTER.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland Re
ceive Congratulations.
A Washington special says: Another
girl baby was born to President and
Mrs. Cleveland Saturday. The birth
of a baby in the white house, was, of
course, an event in which more than
usual interest was felt. In an incred
ibly short space of time the news was
known in congress and was spread
through all the departments. The im
minence of the important event was
made known early in the day by the
issue of an order countermanding the
usual Saturday concert by the marine
hand in the white house grounds. Dr.
Bryant, who accompanied the presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland back from
Gray Gables and took up his quarters
in the white house, was the attending
physician. The latest information ob
tainable is that Mrs. Cleveland and
her latest daughter were both doing
well. The baby is a bright-eyed,
healthy looking young lady. This is
the first child born to a president in
the white house, though there have
been other births in the executive
mansion.
Immediately after the news had
been confirmed, members of the cabi
net and their wives called to congrat
ulate the president and leave their cards
for Mrs. Cleveland, and there was a
general air of suppressed excitement
about the employes of the mansion.
Telegrams of congratulation were re
ceived from all parts of the country.
EUCHRE IS GAMBLING
Says a Judge in His Charge to the
Grand Jury.
A Chattanooga dispatch of Tuesday
says: Judge Moon, in his charge to
the grand jury created a sensation by
declaring that progressive euchre is
gambling. He said: “Not only is
gambling carried on in regular gamb
ling resorts, but people of high stand
ing and respectability gamble. They
may not put down money, but they
set the example for others in playing
for prizes and awards. In these pro
gressive euchre games these persons
play for fine pictures or gold-headed
canee. Examples are set that are a
violation of the law, and it is just as
demoralizing as common gambling,”
LABOR DAY.
Its Observance General Throughout
the Country.
Perfect weather characterized Labor
Day in New York. All the big manu
factories shut down; all wholesale es
tablishments, business exchanges,
downtown offices and most of the re
tail shops closed. The labor parade
moved from Cooper Union at Eighth
street to the battery. The labor lead
ers calculate that 15,000 men were in
line. No disturbance of any kind has
been reported In Brooklyn the pa
rade was one of the largest ever held.
By special orders the leaders prevent
ed any flag from being carried, except
the stars and stripes and trades ban
ners.
AT WASHINGTON.
Labor Day was observed in Wash
ington by an excursion of the brick
layers’ association to Bay Ridge,
where the excursionists were joined
by the electricians’ assembly and the
horseshoers’ association. The only
parade consisted 01 the march of the
bricklayers’ association from its head
quarters to the depot, accompanied by
a band of music. A large number of
individuals from the other organiza
tions of the city joined the Bay Ridge
excursion party.
COLUMBIA CELEBRATES.
The day was celebrated at Colum
bia, S. C., in grand style. Being le
gal holiday, state offices and banks
were closed. Business also was gen
erally suspended. There was a grand
parade of unions and citizens. State
musie was furnished by battalion B,
of Charlotte, N. C. The exercises
consisted of addresses, bicycle races
and other sport and a big barbecue.
The exeroises were attended by an im
mense crowd of jieople.
There was also a grand celebration
of Labor Day at Florence, S. C.
At Chattanooga, Tenn., two thous
and men in line inarched through the
crowded streets to Electric park, where
Labor Day was appropriately celebra
ted. Every one had a pleasant time
and the weather was fine. There was
no other demonstration.
AT CINCINNATI.
Labor Day celebration at Cincin
nati was ahead of those of any previ
ous year. The parade was the great
feature of the morning. The various
unions gathered at the Garfield statue
and with flying banners and gay
badges marched through the principal
streets disbanding at the city hall.
About six thousand men were in line.
BIG PROCESSION IN LOUISVILLE.
Labor Day demonstration at Louis
ville, Ky., was the largest in the his
tory of the city,. Between 10,000 and
15,000 were in line. The weather was
beautiful.
A CRY OF DISTRESS.
Governor Tillman Appeals for Aid for
the Storm Stricken Sufferers.
A Columbia, S. C., special Thursday
says: The awful stupendity of the dis
aster of the storm-swept coast of South
Carolina is at last realized. It proves
to be the calamity of the century. A
death roll of several hundred persons
developes into almost that of thou
sands, while absolute destitution ex
tends to 20,000 persons,nineteen-twen
tieths of whom are ignorant negroes.
These awful facts have been ascertained
by Dr. J. W. Babcock, of Columbia, who
spent four days as the special repre
sentative of Governor Tillman at
Beaufort and vicinity. In point of
fact,the whole truth is not yet known,
as, on account of the impossibility of
at present making a circuit of the
score or more of islands that make up
this archipelago, but enough has been
developed to warrant the foregoing
statement as to the death and devasta
tion. All these islands -were sub
merged and the seething waters anni
hilated almost everything, scarcely
leaving a landmark.
TWENTY THOUSAND DESTITUTE.
These 20,000 persons are now con
fronted by the terrors starvation and
pestilence. These facts have caused
Governor Tillman to give all his*per
sonal attention to the situation and
he is now working with might and
main to procure relief. Thurs
day night he issued a procla
mation to the people of the
United States appealing to them to
make contributions to the cause.. He
states therein that these people will
have to be fed by charity for six
months and that it will take $75,000
to furnish them with bread alone. Ho
calls upon the whole people to aid him
and pledges his official word that their
charity shall not be misapplied.
PHILADELPHIA’S GENEROSITY.
She Responds to Governor Tillman’s
Appeal for Aid,
A Columbia dispatch say: Govern
or Tiilman’s appeal to the country for
aid for the sea island sufferers is meet
ing with ready response. He recived
a telegram from Major Stuart, of
Philadelphia, Friday advising him
that the charity committee of the
city council of that city had appro
priated $5,000 for the sufferes. Gov
ernor Tillman returned thanks and wir
ed the major to send the contribution,if
in money, to him, if in supplies, to
the Central relief committee at Charles
ton.
An Iron Trust Organized.
The organization was completed at
Duluth, Minn., Tuesday, of the Lake
Superior Consolidated Iron company,
a corporation which will have much
the same relation to the Bessemer iron
ore trade of America that the Stand
artj Oil company has to the oil trade.
It will control fully nine-tenths of the
productive mining capacity for Besse
mer ores of the United States. The
company has made an agreement to
maintain a standard of prices. The
prices will be such as will preclude
the possibility of competition by the
deep, hard ore mines of the older
ranges.
A Dispensary Deputy Jailed.
A Columbia, S. C., dispatch of
Tuesday recites that Judge Simonton
has filed a decision in the United
States district court at Charleston,
sentencing Deputy Swan, who took a
barrel of whiskey from the South
Carolina railroad that had been in
charge of that road before the dispen
sary act went into effect, to three
months imprisonment and ordered the
whiskey returned.
Cleanliness is Ye: y Important.
“There is much talk nowadays,”
said a trained nurse recently, ‘ ‘about
surgical cleanliness, but it seems to be
entirely confined to the hospitals. The
average woman, even the average in
telligent woman, does not appear to
realize that she can use some of it right
in her own home, and particularly in
the sickroom of her home if that apart
ment comes into existence.
“I have been nursing recently a sur
gical case where an open wound was
under treatment. Temporarily need
ing a softening ointment, I asked for
some and had brought to me an uncov
ered box of vaseline, thik with dust,
which I was told would not do any harm,
as it was merely ‘air dust.’ The
speaker meant, I sniipose, by this that
it was the dust that had gathered by
exposure to the air rather than under
the active operation of sweeping, but
that it was fairly criminal to have any
dust on a remedial agent she lied not
the slightest idea.
“It is this thoughtless ignorance
that often makes the household medi
cine chest a dire*t evil, and I have
thought seriously that a few lessons
upon family surgery, particularly that
branch of it which teaches absolute
and chemical cleanliness, would not be
a bad thing to include in the curricu
lum of girls’ colleges and schools.”—

Sewing Women.
People who are old enough to re
member the advent of the sewing ma
chine cannot have forgotten the fears
entertained by many conservative
persons that the novel invention would
put seamtresses out of fashion. The
first thought of inexperience on see
ing the rapidity with which the ma
chine ran up a seam was very naturally
that all the seams would be easily fin
ished, and that one time honored em
ployment of women would bo taken
from them. Nobody realized at first
that by the aid of the sewing machine
more frills, more flounces, more ruf
fles and tucks than ever before would
be added to our garments, and that
garments would themselves be multi
plied.
The sewing machine did not do
away with the seamtress. It made her
instead more than ever a necessity. A
house in which there is neither a ma
chine nor a seamtress can hardly be
found in town or oountry, and sewing
remains, as much today as in former
period, woman’s peculiar work. The
machine is the seamtress’ best friend
as well as her benefficeut fairy.—Har

Hauling Down the Flag.
P. P. Elder was speaker of the
house of representatives in Kansas
when Windom and General Sherman
died in 1891. Windom died twenty
four hours before Sherman, and tl-.e
flag on the statehouse was pulled half
way down.
When the news came of the great
general’s death, the sergeant-at-arms
rushed in and asked Elder what he
should do.
“Put the flag half mast,” said Elder
“But it is already at half mast for
Windom,” explained the sergeant-at
arms.
“Then pull it the rest of the way
down, you goose,” exclaimed Elder
petulantly. —Chicago Inter-Ocean.

“In another year,” says G. G,
Hartley, of Duluth, “you will be able
to go from Buffalo to Duluth in fifty-two
hours. It is over a thousand miles by
water. New steamers are building
for exclusive passenger service. They
will be as fine as the best ocean steam
ers, and will have a speed of over
twenty miles an hour. Next summer
you will find traveling on our great
lakes as comfortable as on the ocean.”
