It looks like thinga were coining to a focus iu Washington. Though the country may be kept on the rugged edge for some time, lor the purpose of receiving Spain's reply to the commo nication which it is said the president will make when he receives the report of the board of inquiry. The War which the Arbuckle* are waging against the* sugar trust has en listed the sympathy ol many of the wholesale grocers ol the west and the fight between the powerful combina* tions of capital is becoming more inter esling eyery day. Millions are behind both sides in the conflict. Considerable amusement was ere* aled in Fairburn Wednesday night by a party of men headed by a drum and fife marching up and down the streets proclaiming their readiness to go to Cuba. The negroes took the hint at once that they might have to go, too, and lit out for the woods, so that not one could be found in town. The senate committee or. privileges and elections will report favorably up on the bill to amend the constitution of the United States so as to change the lime of the inauguration from March 4th to the Irfst Wednesday in April, the change to take effect in 1901. The change would extend Prcsii dent McKinley’s term for the differ ence between the dates. The largest city of the world is Lon don, lying in four counties and having a population ol 4.250,000, equaling the combined populations of Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and Rome. To walk through all the streets, avenues, lanes and alleys of the city, never traversing the same one twice, would require a ten-mile walk every day for nine years. The streets, placed in a row, would reach round the world, and leave a remnant that would stretch from London to San Francisco—April Ladies’ Home Journal. Col. George E Waring presented a pointed truth to an audience in the Manhattan Congregational Church, New York city, a few days ago He was making an address in the interest of a colored school in Georgia In the course of his remarks he said it was customary for the northern people to think and say that they were educat ing the negro, but that was not true. “The truth is,” said he, “that the north is giving less than $1,000,000 a year for negro education, while the south is giving many millions a year in taxes paid by the white people to support public schools for negroes We of the , north turned loose this enormous mass ' of untutored people on the communi- ' ty. We ought to be willing to turn a i little light into their darkness, to help 1 make them good and useful citizens.” i CAJBTOIIXA.. %sr i* «* : i vrwa < I 1 L Ay:. U I_• TRANSVAAL GOLD. ————W— Billion* ut Dollar*’ Worth of Yellow Motel BUII la *h« Rand. The little strip ct the Rand, which once upon a time was n layer of louse pebble* and sand, is now a hard and heavy rock, of which 18 cubic foot woiph a ton ; there fore th* whole strip weighs 085,000,000 tons or, after deducting whet ha* already ( been taken out, 006,000,000 tons. Former calculation* assumed 18 or 14 cubic feet to the ton, but quite recent weighing tests have showed the ore to bo heavier, and , each claim therefore contain, mor. ore than was formerly estimated. One fact which will strike the reader is that the < tonnage taken out in the past ten years is but a small fraction. i We will now determine the money value Which this enormous tonnage can reason ably be estimated to yield in tho course of time. The money value of tho average yield per ton milled in tho last months of the past year (September to November) was 41*. It was increasing by a few pence every month—4os. od. in September, 41s. Id. in October, and 41*. 7d. in November. Thi* yield is not arrived at by crushing in diacrimlnately everything that is mined. Tho stones are sorted, and perhaps one tenth is at present living thrown away a* barren. In this way the 606,000,000 tons would bo reduced to 640,000,000. At 4 Is. they should yield £1,100,000,000. Before proceeding further one may re mark that this is an enormous addition to tho world’s supply of gold. It is more than four time* the production of tho whole state of Californa during 50 years and yet spread over many years it is not likely to exceed the world’s power of ab sorption and effect a depreciation of gold. Although thi* large figure is an advance on older is more likely to be under than over the mark. AU former es timates have been exceeded by tho exten sion of payable area and by more and more companies falling into the ranks as pro ducers. Mr. Hamilton Smith five years ago estimated £326,000,000 down to 3,000 feet, Herr Scbmelsser assumed £360,000,- 000 down to 4,000 feet, and Professor Becker (ih 1806) £700,000,000 down to 6,000 feet. This last estimate was based on a stretch of payable ore of 20 ns against * the present 26 mile*.—National Review. • Early Rising Ashcroft. My.' Ashcroft has boon relating in tho smoking room of tho house of commons his feats in early attendance on tho first day of a new session. Ho has, during tho four sessions in which he hos had a seat in the house of commons, boon on three oc casion* the first to arrive on an opening day. In 1895 ho put in an appearance at 5 a. in., in 1896 at 4 a. m. and at tho present session at 5:80 a. m. In 1897 Mr. Ash croft, who arrived on that occasion nt 6:25 a. m., wa* beaten in the race by Mr. Wil liam Johnson, who was five minutes be fore him. Tho oddity of this ambition to boa first comer is all tho more striking when con sidered in tho light of the experiences of early comers to tho house of commons in winter. They'are allowed to enter Palace yard by the policeman on guard. They then grope their way to tho members’ en trance, and, on knocking, are admitted by a policeman, who narrowly scrutinizes them with his lantern. They then man age to find their way through the pas sages and staircases, which are in utter darkness, to tho members’ lobby, to which they are admitted by the constable on duty. Tho passage from the entrance to the lobby, which is a somewhat perilous one, Mr. Ashcroft made on former occasions by the aid of a box of matches. In his recent journey he was armed with a small candle, which he lighted when ho had passed tho members' entrance. Tho door of tho chamber of the house of commons is not opened till 6a. in. Tho interval between arrival in tho lobby and tho opening of tho door is generally passed in sitting on the beehive formed chairs of tho doorkeepers of tho house. —London Letter. Foot Binding an Art. Foot binding in China is an art. It is easy to understand that to bind tho feet and cut off just enough blood to wither tho muscles andTetard all growth is an art, for if the feet wore starved too much they Would dlo completely and, as a result, mortify upon tho living body, and then amputation would be imperative. It can also bo easily understood that tho parents who thus cripple their children must bo well to do and able to support them in ut ter idleness, for the little foot woman as a wage earner is absolutely worthless. It is for this reason more than any other that a little foot woman is always the daughter of wealthy and that in the ma trimonial market she brings the highest price as a wife, for the weeks, months and years shp spends in enforced idleness are devoted to the study of tho arts, music, painting and even sculpture until when she attains her growth at, say, about 15 years of age, the “little foot” Is ready to preside over a mandarin’s household so far as education and accomplishments go and has learned a thousand things that the natural foot woman never hears of or, hearing, falls to understand.—Now York Tribune. Introductions. English people object, it appears, to what they call our habit of overintroduo ing in society. They never, by tho way, use the word “presentation” for “intro duction,” except in tho case of a presenta tion to royalty. But they think our habit of introducing people, even when they are both guests under tho same roof, is vul gar. Why they should think so is not ap parent Os course, a man dining out in England 1* introduced to the woman whom be I* to take down to dinner, but the host ess make* no effort to acquaint him with the lady who will sit on bis other side. “Why on earth should an introduction to her be requisite!-'' asked an Englishman rooeotiy. “ You interchange conversation with bet, of course, while the dinner pro gresses. Some of my most agreeable mo ment* have been spent finding out who she is and in letting her find out who I am. ” Considering the well known tact of Englishmen as a race and tho number of family skeletons they could boast, it seems a* if the introduction of the American cus tom might conduce notably to the ameni ties of social life In John Bull's island.— San Francisco Argonaut. Her Birthday. “The death of Adelaide M. Ido, the daughter of Henry C. Ide, ex-chief justice of Samoa,” says the Boston Transcript, “recalls a pretty incident of her childhood. When she went with her father to Samoa, she was a little girl, and became a great favorite with Robert Louis Stevenson, the author, who lived there. She was born on Feb. 29, and consequently sbo grieved greatly because she did not have birthdays as often as other girls. Mr. Stevenson, noting her disappointment, declared that he would give her hi* own birthday and drew up a legal document deeding it to her.” Tax Receivers Malice for 1898.
