Queen Victoria's Birthday. Queen Victoria celebrated her sev¬ enty-fifth birthday a tew days ago. The queen is now in excellent health, nnd it-ia possible that ahe will live for some years to come. She has been on the throne fifty-seven years, and her feign embraces many of the most mem¬ orable events in English history. Victoria will not rank in history among the greatest rulers of world, but she will be remembered as a good wife and mother, a model of virtue and a queen who felt a deep interest in the welfare of her anbjects. She has had nine children, of whom seven are •till living. Since she has been on the throne her people have given her in tho cival list expenditures $110,276,000, and •‘."0.000 » ye.r. The ^7 "J, 8 o™emb£ l‘r year, 6 Z‘ I ho l queen aTl\ has iH saved W ahd in vented some thirty or forty million dollars, and in the event of a revolu tion her children would inherit enough to give them a new start in the world. Thero is not much more to be said about this serene and fortunato old lady. She holds to the religious faith and tho political creed of her fathers, and is opposed to liberal views. She hates scandal as much as she hated Mr. Gladstone, loves big dinners and good wine, and still believes that her husband was tho best man that ever lived. Two or three attempts have been made to assassinate her, but her people love her, and her successor will be lucky indeed if he enjoys her pop¬ ularity. notable This last anniversary was a one. It is a Tare thing for a sovereign to celebrato a seventy-fifth throne.—Ale. birthday after fifty-seven years on tho Radishes. Radishes possess valuable medicinal properties.

The miners fired from behind boulders and the depu ties from the coach windows, giving battle in earnest, Valentine Blatz, president of the Blatz Brewing Company, at Milwau¬ kee, is dead. He was one of Milwau¬ kee’s oldest and most successful brew¬ ers. He established tho brewery which bears his name in 1851, with a capital of only $500. Mr. Blatz’s wealth is estimated at $15,000,000. A suit for one million dollars dam¬ ages has been begun in tho United States circuit court at Chicago by the French republic against the World’s Columbian exposition. The litigation grows out of the Frefich government’s claim for damages to exhibits of French subjects injured during the manufac¬ turers’ building fire. While leaving Green Mountain cem¬ etery, at Quincy, III., Monday the hor^’e driven by the wife of W. 1). Kendall ran away. After running three blocks, Mrs. Kendall turned the horse into a fence.

Maloney, of Lynn; treasurer, Emil Auerbach, of Adams; attorney general, Fred Nagler, of Springfield; auditor, Charles N. Wentworth, of Lynn. Heavy storms were reported Sun¬ day from many points along tne south of England coast. Much wreckage has gone ashore at Broad Stairs and Ilfracombe. Tho camji of the East Kent militia regiment at Shorn Cliffs has been flooded. The tents were blown away and the bedding and clothing were drifting about in some eighteen inches of water. The grain crops and fruits further inland have been greatly damaged. A great drought in the far western part of Nebraska is reported. The farmers have been unable to raise a crop or obtain water for stock. As a consequence hundreds of fat ms iu Lincoln and adjoining counties are being deserted by their tenants, who are moving eastward in wagons. No rain has fallen iu weekR, and all vege¬ tation is parched. Other portions of the state fare very much better, but in many places the small grain is a failure. A party of rainmakers from some point in the north have been operating in the usually arid region about 100 miles west of San Antonio, Texns, near Braokett, for tho past two weeks, ami have thoroughly convinced the people of that section that their scheme is a grand success. Heavy rains have fallen in that immediate locality dur¬ ing the past few days, the total fall having been greater than for several years. The process consists of firiug some kind of chemicals into the air. United States Marshal Hawkins has served fifty writs of injunction against the striking miners at Lyford, lnd., who have several carloads of coal side¬ tracked on tho Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad. If Marshal Hawkius is unable to get the coal cars moved troops will be asked for. At Shelburn, on the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad, Sheriff Mills served similar write on miners at that place. Afier the writs were served the miners re¬ fused to allow the coal to be moved. COMMONWEALERS CONVICTED And Will Serve Time in Jail for Seiz¬ ing a Train. Leaders of the Seattle contingent of the commonweal army were up before the United States court at Helena, Mont., Tuesday to answer the charge of contempt in seizing a train on the Northern Pacific railroad at the west¬ ern line of the state, May 18th. J. W. Kelly, the leader, who is a brother of the Kelly whose army is now in St. Louis, was sentenced to the county jail for six. months. John Ross, the engineer who had served two terms in the penitentiary and was released in January, was also given six months. William Blair, Stewart Lackey and Tom Davidson were each sentenced to thirty days in jail. Receiver's Certificates Wanted. A Savannah special says: The tak¬ ing of a final decree pu the foreclosure of the consolidated mortgage on the Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad and the first mortgage on the Augusta and Knoxville railroad has been postponed by judge Simonton until July 10th. The receivers of the Central have filed a petition asking for an issue of receivers* certificates against the road amounting to $191,- 587.33, deficit from ojierating expenses and for betterments from July 4, 1$92, to June j, 1893. the time during attach it was in Mr. Comer’s hands. LATEST CONDENSED INTO SHORT AND BREEZY PARAGRAPHS, And Giving the Gist of the News Up to the Time of Going to Press. It is said that the late frost and snow have killed most of the seventeen-year locusts in the mountain Section of North Carolina. Three hundred striking miners, out by McBride’s orders, have returned to work at Rathburn, Tenn. This break will do much toward relieving the coal famine imminent at Chattanooga. The Cincinnati road began its policy of retrenchment at Chattanooga, Tuesday, by dropping eighty men out of the 125 workmen, boiler-makers, machinists, car repairers, etc., em¬ ployed in the railway shops. Colonel Breckinridge states that he will carry the matter of Judge Brad¬ ley’s refusal to allow his - msel to file a bill of exceptions to the supreme court. He declined to express an opinion as to the judge’s refusal. A special from Columbia, S. C., says: The military inquiry into the conduct of the Columbia companies during the dispensary riots continues. The indications are that Captain Al¬ ston’s company, the Richmond Volun¬ teers, will be retained in the service and that the Governor’s Guards and Columbia Zouaves will be dismissed. The safe in the office of the three C’a railroad, at Yorkville, S.C., was blown open that Monday night. It is supposed the job was done by professional cracksmen. They got about $50 iu cash. They did not visit any other business place in Yorkville and no clue to their identity. This is the first vis¬ it from safe crackers that Yorkville has ever had. Robert Charben, who, for two years, was federal commissioner at Attalla, Ala., has been convicted in the United States court at Birmingham of pre¬ senting false accounts to the govern¬ ment, and sentenced to one year’s ime prisonment. He appealed to the Unit¬ ed States court and gave bond for $1,000. There are four other similar charges against him for which he is be¬ ing tried. This trial has created the greatest of sensations in Alabama. There are six other commissioners and deputy United States marshals under Bimiliar indictments. There is a storm gathering about the head of General Kelly, of the Califor¬ nia industrial ni my. Three members of the army will make charges before United States Commissioner Crawford, at St Louis, against their commander. When the command left Des Moines it included a glee, club of eleven men who sailed in a boat purchased by their own money. They say that the money earned by their singing was turned over to Kelly, but that Kelly wanted to get rid of them because they knew of his alleged irregular use of money contributed by the public. A Topeka, Kan., dispatch says: Ex Adjutant General Artz, at the head of his commonwealers, marched from their armory Tuesday afternoon to the office of commissioner of elections, and each of the fifty men were regis¬ tered, all announcing their intention of returning from Washington in time to vote at the November election. Governor Lewelling addressed the company. He said that while he did not entirely approve of the methods adopted by the wealers to accomplish the desired end, that they had a per¬ fect right to travel over the country at will, and that no one had any right to interfere with them. An appeal has been made by the Ba¬ roness Rouques, the mother of Mrs. Maybrick, to the press of England and America, asking their aid in behalf of her daughter, now serving a life sen¬ tence in the working prison for the murder of her husband. Tho appeal is accompanied by a pam¬ phlet containing the latest evidence gathered in favor of the prisoner. The baroness attributes the refusal of the home office to reopen the case of her daughter to the fact that the home of¬ fice authorities are in possession of ad¬ verse evidence which they obtained se¬ cretly. She appeals for the assistance of the press as an American and as a mother. TRADE TALK. The Past' Week was Rather a Dull One. R. G. Dun & Co’s Review of Trade for the past week says: “Storms and floods, prolonged strikes and large exports of gold have done their utmost this week to give business a vacation. But the wants unsatisfied during the past year, bela¬ ted and much lessened and yet greater than those of any other nation, have caused a volume of trade quite large for the season. While the iron indus¬ try especially and many others to some extent, have been restricted by scarci¬ ty of coal and coke, the number of works resuming has been great¬ er than the number stopping from other causes. But it is a symptom Dot to be overlooked that the demand for manufactured products, instead of in¬ creasing, appears for the moment rather smaller than before and indif¬ ference of buyers is shown in cancella¬ tion of orders hitherto given. It is a waiting season, but the disposition to wait is this year much intensified. Works in operation are fairly busy in closing up orders for a belated spring demand, but there is even more shrink¬ age in orders for the future than was noticed last year as the precursor of coming dullness. “There appears no increased demand for cotton goods and manufacturers liave agreed that the accumulation of print cloths, which now sell at 2.69 cents for 64s most presently be checked by suspending production. Exchanges through clearing houses compare fa¬ vorably for the week, being only 18.1 per cent, smaller than last year. “Failures diminish in importance, the amount of liabilities for the third week in May being only $2,204,139 and for three weeks $7,836,972, of which $2,642,687 were of manufactur¬ ing and $5,025,007 of trading con¬ cerns. The number of failures report¬ ed this week is 183 iu the United States against 2591ast year, and in Canada 28 against 14 last year,and again there are noted scarcely any of importance.” Fill your body will with beer enoggfe and your body soon fill a bier, WHAT IS GOING ON AT UNCLE SANTS HEADQUARTERS. Comment Concerning Transactions in the Various Departments. The democratic managers are be¬ coming impatient at the time being consumed by the republicans in the discussion of the metal schedule and are beginning to- talk among them¬ selves of the advisability of prolonging the hours of debate. The special committee appointed attempted to investigate the charges of senatorial bribery on the part of Charles W. Buttz submitted their re¬ port to the senate Friday. Buttz is found by the committee to have made an attempt at bribery, despite his de¬ nial, and Senators Hunton and Kyle are exonerated from all blame. The discussion on the repeal of the ten per cent tax on state banks com¬ menced in the house Saturday morn¬ ing. There is no limit on the debate, and it is expected to continue two weeks, at least, probably longer. The house is so evenly divided on the prop¬ osition that the discussion may change enough votes to pass or defeat the bill. Secretary Carlisle is very much an¬ noyed and disgusted at the newspaper publications hinting a deal of some kind concerning the sale of the govern¬ ment building at Chicago. It is learn¬ ed that he had written letters to Col¬ onel Livingston, os chairman of the sub-committee on appropriations, show¬ ing that the charges made are utterly false and ridiculous. The wholesale discharge of clerks for which Secretary Lamont has so long been preparing took place in the war department Tuesday, nearly three hundred employes receiving notices that their services were no lon¬ ger required. Many of them were also notified that they would be allowed pay until various dates in June on ac¬ count of regular leaves of absence. Senator Gorman has not been in his seat in the senate since the day he delivered his recent Bpeech upon the tariff bill. It was known that he was indisposed, but each day the announcement was made that rest was all he needed. Tuesday, however, the senator’s brother w-as quoted as Baying that Senator Gorman is a very sick man. Overwork, he says, is the cause. The comptroller of the currency has declared dividends in favor of the creditors of insolvent national banks as follows: Second dividend of 50 per cent, in favor of the creditois of the Alabama National Bank, of Mobile, Ala. making in all 100 per cent, on claims proved amounting to $68,699. A fourth dividend of the First Nation¬ al Bank of Wilmington, N. C., making in all 50 per cent in claims proved amounting to $551,329. Exposition News. Assistant Secretaries Willitts and Bickford, of tho agricultural depart¬ ment, were before tho sub-committee of the house appropriations commit¬ tee, having iu charge the proposed ap¬ propriation for the Atlanta exposition Saturday morning, These gentle men stated that $3P0,000 in round numbers would be a sum sufficient for a creditable govern¬ ment exhibit. They promised, how¬ ever, to furnish exact figures in a few days. Mr. Livingston, chairman of the subcommittee, received a telegram from Mr. Spear, of Chicago, who erect¬ ed the government building at the world’s fair, in which he estimated that the cost of taking down the building and erecting it at At¬ lanta would be about $30,000. The Trade Was Not Ratified. Rejiresentative Livingston, of Geor¬ gia, and Secretary of the Interior Smith, had a conference Friday with Secretary Carlisle regarding the gov¬ ernment building at Chicago which it is designed to move to Atlanta and erect on the exposition grounds at that place. Mr. Carlisle stated that the building was sold on the 12th instant to a Chicago wrecking company, that the contract had been made out and the company’s check received, but that the contract was not signed as yet nor had the money been turned into the treasury. He stated that he would be governed by the wishes of congress in the matter; that if congress desired that the sale should be set aside he would do so and the building should be removed to Atlanta, agreeably to the wishes of the exposition managers. MONEY FOR ATLANTA. An Appropriation of $200,000 Re¬ ported for Her Exposition. The Atlanta exposition will get $200,000 from the government. Of this $50,000 is for the building and $150,000 for the exhibit. If the re¬ moval of the building is not practica¬ ble or if the removal and re-erection of the building are not possible within the amount of the appropriation, then the secretary of the treasury is au¬ thorized to have a building erected at Atlanta, the cost not to exceed $50, 000. If the old building is removed, one-half of it is to be reserved for the government exhibit and the rest of the building will be for whatever exhibit the colored race may make, Tht building is to be under the control ol a board of government trustees. WILL FOOT IT. Tlie Arkansas Populist Delegates will March Across Country. The Arkansas populist state central committee has decided that delegates to the state convention, which convenes at Little Rock on July 19, shall march overland instead of coming by rail¬ roads. Delegations will start on July 9 from various counties in the interior of the state and proceed across the country in wagons, on horseback and on foot directing their course toward Little Rock. At different places along the route th|e “army” will be swelled by delegations from adjacent counties, and at several towns stops will be made and populistic principles will be pro¬ claimed bv prominent sneakers. Ready to Use Bombs. A plot to blow up the parliament buildings and the bourse at Bueflos Ayres by the use of bombs has been discovered. The police found several bombs and have arrested two Austrians and Italians charged with complicity in the conspiracy. CONGRESSIONAL. DAILY PROCEEDINGS OP BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE. The Discussion of Important Measures Briefly Epitomized. The house, Thursday, went into committee of the whole, and discussed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. The house Friday refused to con¬ sider two or three private bills by unanimous consent, and at 12:30, on motion of Mr. Buun, of North Caro¬ lina, the house voted to go into com¬ mittee of the whole, Mr. Hatch in the chair, to consider bills on tho private calendar. Mr. Springer gave notice that he would call up the Brawley bill Saturday, involving the repeal of the ten per cent tax. On motion of Mr. Springer the house, Saturday, resolved itself into committee of the whole on the state bank tax repeal bill. The house bill was passed Monday, extending one year the time for ma¬ king final proof of the location of a settlement under the homestead and desert land acts. Two or three pri¬ vate bills were passed, and the house then, in committee of the whole, be¬ gan the consideration of bills relating to the affairs of the District of Colum¬ bia. The response by the children of Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, to the message of sympathy trans¬ mitted by the speaker at the time of Kossuth’s death, was laid before the house by Speaker Crisp. Wednesday being Decoration Day, Mr. Catchings at the opening of the session of the house, Tuesday, moved that when the house adjourned it be until Thursday noou. Agreed to. Committees having been called for re ports, the house went into committee of the whole—Mr. Kichardson, of Ten nessee, in the chair—on the 10 per cent bank tax bill. Speeches were made by Messrs. Cox, of Tennessee, Johnson, of Indiana, and Black, of Georgia. THE SENATE. In the senate, Thursday, Kyle’s Ha¬ waiian resolution was laid before the body for action. After a short discus¬ sion, Mr. Hoar asked unanimous con¬ sent that the resolution be adopted without further debate, but Mr. White, of California, objected, and the resolu¬ tion was laid aside. At 10:30 o’clock the tariff bill was taken up, the ques¬ tion being on the tin plate paragraph, pending an amendment, being the ono offered by Mr. Aldrich to make the duty cents per pound. In the senate, Friday, Mr. Kyle’s resolution offered Wednesday as to Hawaii, was taken up. The discussion upon it was interrupted at 10 :30 a. m. when the tariff bill was taken up, the question being upon paragraph 123, putting a duty of 30 per cent on breech¬ loading shotguns. After some unimportant morning business, Saturday, the tariff bill was taken up in the senate at 10:30, the first question being on the paragraph as to iron or steel wheels. The duty in the house bill was fixed at 30 per cent ad valorem, and Mr. Vest, iu behalf of the finance committee, moved to make it lj cents per pound. Agreed to. Mr. Hill moved to place lead ore on the free list. The bill, he said, was not satisfactory to him, but he was now and always had been in favor of its prompt disposition. He said that Mr. Gorman had exceeded his authority when he said that the democratic party was united on the present bill and de¬ nied that there was absolute unity in the party. The bill was satisfactory to very few senators and could not be satisfactory to him so long as there was a remnant of the populistic income tax on it. The tariff bill was laid before the senate Monday. Mr. Hale’s amend¬ ment to continue the existing duties on sawed boards and lumber was dis¬ cussed till noon without reaching a vote, and then Mr. Walsh, of Georgia, addressed the senate on the general subject of th e tariff. _ TROOPS CALLED FOR. The Sheriff of Jefferson County, Ala¬ bama, Needs Them. A Montgomery, Ala., special says: The sheriff of Jefferson county writes the governor that it is impossible for him to preserve the peace with his dep¬ uties and citizens without serious loss of life and perhnps of property. In consequence of the request, and other independent information, Governor Jones, as a matter of precaution, has or¬ dered the Second regiment of Alabama troops into camp of instruction at Bir¬ mingham, as they go into camp about this time every year at some point in the state. When their terms expire they will be replaced by another regi¬ ment. He proposes to keep the peace and to have force enough to prevent and punish armed bands roaming around and overawing peaceable citi¬ zens who may desire to engage in their regular occupation. MONGOLIANS FOR 31 EX ICO. Two Hundred Thousand to be Brought Over and Located. A distinguished Chinaman, named Kim Wing, has reached Mobile, Ala., en route from his home in Merida, Mex¬ ico, to Hong Kong, China, where he goes to get 200,000 of his countrymen to settle in Mexico. Wing is a wealthy merchant of Merida, and is a highly educated man. It has been with great difficulty that he has persuaded the Mexican government to permit him to bring so large a number of his cotm trymen over at one time. They are be employed on coffee and hemp plan¬ tations, which are to be operated by Wing.__ A MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM To Discuss the Situation at the Coal Mines. An immense throng of all shades and positions in life gathered at the Win¬ nie Davis wigwam at Birmingham, Ala., Saturday to discuss the present situation between the mine operators and the miners. Resolutions were adopted denounc¬ ing tb* check system and other now existing, and a committee was ap¬ pointed to try and effect a settlement of the strike; also a committee to wait on the railroad employes and ask them to refuse to haul coal cut by scabs or convicts. Good order prevailed and everything, passed off harmoniously. ■I .... ... m "*** f .. ■ * " ■ ■■ ■ St ' ■■ ' «^ to4p"AW •A SIDE from the fact that the 0 cheap baking powders contain \ alum, which causes indigestion and i i other serious ailments, their use is * i extravagant.

He was poor as far as having earth ly possessions was concerned, though J he had some salary, and tho girl was worse off because she had no salary. Yet he loved her. Love is a ioaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour. The girl loved him also, but it was tempered by judgement and tho cost of house rent, clothes, social demands and that sort. As previously mentioned, he loved her, and in time it came to pass that he proposed to her. “But, dear George,” she urged in the negative, “you only have $1,200 a y ear » This argument rather surprised him, for he had an idea that $1,200 a year was not to he sneezed at. “Well,” he exclaimed, “we can live on that, can’t we?” She took both his hands in hers and looked straight into his largo, inno¬ cent eyes. “Live on it? Of course we can, you dear boy,” she murmured, “but we would look too ridiculous for anything going around without any clothes on, wouldn’t we, dear?” and poor Georgo went down all in aheap .—Detroit Free Press. The Change of Name. It is said that the practice of tho wife’s assuming the husband’s name at marriage originated from a Roman custom, and became the common cus tom after the Roman occupation. Thus Julia and Octavia, married to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Romans Julia of Pompey and Oc¬ tavia of Cicero, and in later times married women in most European countries signed their names in the same manner, but omitting the “of.” Against this view may be mentioned that during the sixteenth, and even the beginning of the seventeenth cen¬ tury, the usage seems doubtful, since we see Catherine Perr so signing her¬ self after she has been twice married, and we always hear of Lady Jane Grey (not Dudley) and Arabella Stu¬ art (not Seymour). Some persons think that the custom originated from the Scriptural teaching that husband and wife are one. It was decided in the case of Bon vs. Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth, that a woman by mar¬ riage loses her former namo and le¬ gally receives that of her husband.— Ex.
