A new way of solving tho curtain
question that is certainly convenient
and by no means ugly is to have two
sets of sash curtains—one for the up¬

window. Both arc hung on rods and
consist of two parts, so that they can
be parted in the middle. The upper
set should be made long enough to faM
about an inch over tho top of the
lower set. They may bo made of
muslin, silk or any fabric, with edges
hem-stitched, frilled or trimmed with
lace. The arrangement is a good one
for small bedrooms or for kitchen

Sunday the marine hospital service
was informed of the arrival at the Cape
Charles, Va., quarantine station from
Havana of an American bark with
three cases of yellow fever on board.
The vessel was sent to Fisherman’s
island, a portion of the quarantine sta¬
tion, for dot ation.
The treasury department has decided
that salt imported from England is en¬
titled to free importation into tho
United States under the new tariff bill,
notwithstanding the fact that several
of the dependencies of Great Britain
impose a duty ou that commodity
when imported from the United States.
Section 608 of the new tariff bill treats
of this subject.
Information has been received at the
state department that the two Ameri¬
cans banished from Nicaragua for
complicity in ihe Mosquito rebellion,
aro now in Costa Itica. It is said that
these men aro well satisfied to accept,
tho terms of banishment without de¬
manding a trial or asking the protec¬
tion of tho United States minister to
remain in Nicaragua.
A telegram was received at tho Jap¬
anese legation at Washington, Mon¬
day, announcing that the emperor
would take up liis residence at Iliro
shiua, and that the headquarters of the
army and navy would be moved to that
place from Tokio. lliroshiua is a large
town ou the inland sea, about 550
miles from Tokio. The action of the
emperor in taking up Ids residence
there is taken to indicate his inten¬
tions of personally superintending
active operations in tho war at a point
as near the scene of hostilities as is
practicable.
A movement lias been started at

The Mints at Work.
Secretary Carlisle is now demon¬
strating that he is decidedly more fav¬
orable to silver than he was a few
months ago. Ho is now rapidly coin¬
ing tho silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman law. Tbo seigniorage be
is covering into the treasury, The
mints at New Orleans, Philadelphia
and San Francisco are engaged iu
coining standard silver dollars from
the bullion purchased under the act of
July 14, 1890, commonly known an
the Sherman law. During the month
of July $430,000 was coined and
during Die month of August $728,000.
About the same amount will be coined
during the present month, September,
and thereafter such amount will be
coined as the secretary nmy consider
advisable under all the circumstances.
Tho third section of the actof July 1 L
1890, provided that the secretary of
the treasury should coin each month
into standard silver dollars 2,000,000
ounces of tho silver bullion purchase'll
under tbo provisions of the
act as much as might
bo necessary to provide for the re¬
demption of the treasury notes issued
in payment of tho bullion, and that
any gain or seigniorage arising from
such coinage should be accounted for
and paid into the treasury. The coin¬
age now going on is done under the
authority conferred by this section of
the law and tho seigniorngo derived
from it is paid into the public treas¬
ury as required by law and used for
the ordinary purposes of the govern¬
ment; but tho remainder of the coins
arc held in the treasury in order to
provide for the redemption of the
treasury notes issued in payment for
the bullion.

Seven anarchists suspected of com¬
plicity in the explosion of a bomb in
front of the pnlazzo of the ministry
of war at Rome, Italy, last May have
been arrested. Five of them have
confessed that the suspicions of the
authorities as to their guilt were well
founded.
The Middletown National bank, at
Middletown, I’a., of which Charles W.
Raymond is president, closed its
doors Thursday. Tho cause of the
failure is supposed to be the discount¬
ing of the paper of certain corpora
tions and individuals who find it im¬
possible to pay.
It is reported that tho Chinese gov¬
ernment lias arranged to purchase half
of tho vessels comprised in the Chi¬
nese navy. A Yokohoma dispatch says
that Marshal Yamagata started for
Corea Thursday to assume command
of the Japanese army in that country.
It is said that tho Japanese forces in
Corea will soon number 100,000.
A dispatch from Fall River says;
Tho indications nre becoming strong
that a majority of the striking mill
operatives will resist the reduction in
wages until cold weather at least.
They claim that the print cloth market
has so improved that there is now no
excuse for a reduction in wages, and
declare that they will stay out until
victorious.
The strike of the union carpenters
of New York City, against the present
system of “lumping” is rapidly spread¬
ing. Already 1,200 men nre on the
strike and it is asserted that at the
headquarters of the strikers that be¬
fore tho end of tho week there will
not he a union carpenter at work in
Die city. Several contractors have
agreed to the terms of tho men.

The New York city police commis¬
sioners Thursday afternoon held u se¬
cret meeting at police headquarters.
When tho meeting was over it was an¬
nounced that tho board had found
Captain Stephenson guilty ol receiving
bribes from merchants so tlmt they
might evado tho ordinance regarding
the blocking of sidewalks and ho was
dismissed from the force. Tho action
of the board was unanimous.
A Shanghai dispatch says it is re¬
ported that the Japanese have threat¬
ened to withdraw their promise not to
molest Shanghai unless the Kiang nan
arsenal there be closed. Tho motive
for tho threat is not apparent, but is
surmised that the Japanese are anxious
to provoke tho British to interfere.
Tho Kiang-nan arsenal is now in a
state of inactivity, and, under any cir¬
cumstances, its productive capacity is
small.
The break in the rankH of tbo mill
owners at New Bedford, Mass., is wid¬
ening. A number of them favor a
compromise with tho strikers, and
steps to this end have been taken.
The manufacturers want to start tip at

when the market reaches 3 cents tho
time will come for an increase in
wages rather than tlio restoration of a
reduction.
The big strike of the coat makers at
New York lias been pract ically settled.
Tho fight was short and hard. It was
directed squarely against the sweating
system, and the workers gained tho
day. Thursday morning 7,000 of tho
14,000 coat makers, who have been out
since Buuday morning, went back to
work on their own terms. Tho other
7,000 will probably bo employed by
the first of next week, though there are
many details yet to be settled.
A careful investigation made at Pitta

GOV. STONE PI LLED.
THE TROUBLE CAUSED BY ISSU¬
ING WARRANTS
Which the Government Says I.ookR
Too Much I,ike Greenbacks.
A Jackson, Miss., special says: Hold
to answer in the sum of $1,000 to the
charge of feloniously issuing money iu
the semblance of United States notes.
That is the condition in which Gov¬
ernor John Nr. Stone, Auditor W. W.
Stone and Treasurer Evans, of this
state, now find themselves.
Tho United States marshal received
Governor Stem’s surrender Monday
evening at 5 o’clock. Treasurer Evans
was out of the eily and Governor
Stone was attending an official meet¬
ing out at the penitentiary. Tho gov¬
ernor has anticipated his arrest, how¬
ever, by employing Judge Campbell,
the most distinguished lawyer of Mis¬
sissippi, to defend tho state, which, in
reality, is the party in the ease, That.
gentleman, speaking of tlio affair,
said; “It is one thing for the United
States to order a prosecution, It is
quite a different thing, however, to
order judges and jurors, 'l'he ease
will have to be tried right hero before
a Mississippi jury."
This litigation, which has been brew¬
ing for nearly three months, promises
to bo of national importance. Its de¬
cision, when it reaches the United
States supremo court, where it is
bound to go in time, may knock out
the 10 per cent tax imposed upon state
banks, for the questiou which will
come to the front wijl be the right of
tho state, not only to issue bonds and
warrants, but even money itself. It
was on the 2d of January last that the
legislature of Mississippi met in
special session. Under the new
constitution, special sessions can
only exist for_jjv. period of
thirty days to consider appropri¬
ation bills, articles of impeachment
against state officers and similar privi¬
leged questions. In this ease it was
the question of appropriations made
necessary by deficits in tho year 1892
and 1893, aggregating over JflOOfOO'L
Under the old constitution but $300,
000 was raised for school purposes,
while unde/ the new it required over
$000,000, Besides tliiH, as shown by
Governor Stone’s message, t he receipts
from several sources had fallen off,
notably in Die matter of liquor li¬
censes, a wave of prohibition passing
over tlio state which closed up tlio
barrooms in sixty-nine out of sovonty
tive counties of tlio state.
There wore various remedies sug¬
gested to euro the deficit in the raising
of the necessary revenue, but none of
them worn sufficient. 'Then it became
necessary to consider tho raising of
$200,000, which would bo needed bo
loro another session of the legislature
could be had. Tho question of issuing
bonds was sprung, but Frank Burkitt,
the populist leader, suggested tho is¬
suance of warrants of smell denomina¬
tions, which could be floated among
tho people, paid out for sorvioos to tho
state and in other ways thrown into
circulation. He offered to pay cash
for $1,000 worth of Much bonds if is¬
sued. It was on thoiast night, of the
term read for of tbo (ho legislatu^p issuance of that these the warrants, hill wan
of which tho enacting clause was as
follows:
“That the stale treasurer is author¬
ized and required to prepare and Hell
at not loss than par, bonds of the state
of Mississippi to an pggregato not ex¬
ceeding $200,000, as may be nooossnry
lo defray the current expense of the
slate, and the faith of tho state is
pledged for the redemption of those
bonds. ”
In tho conference between tbo two
houses the term “bonds” was changed
to “warrants,” and though tho matter
was left in tho hands of Governor
Htone by the adjournment of tho legis¬
lature, which he could only have kept
in session by a special proclamation,
it is secret history about tlm capital
that Governor Htone was emphatically
opposed to this legislation. But hav¬ the
ing tho alternative of approving
bill or keeping that body in ses¬
sion, l,o chose the former as the best
of two evils, and sighed the bill. It
was in June last that $50,000 of
these warrants, in denominations of $5,
$10 and $20, were received from the
St. Louis Bank Note company, which
hud been employed to engrave them.
The new warrants bore a remarkable
likeness to the United Htates green
back notes. The vignette of Governor
State looked well ou the left, hand cor
ner. The note went in the state. It

This is done by consent of the attor¬

The railway commission of North
Carolina has issued an order enforcing
the standard freight tariff on the Wes
tern North Carolina railway, which
was lately purchased by the Southern.
It Hays that since the consolidation of
all the lines, which the Richmond and
Danville formerly leased, there is no
reason why tho standard tariff should
not be enforced.
Joe Henry Lloyd and Charles L.
Wilson, both white, have been arrested
and lodged in jail at Manning, S. ('.,
for counterfeiting, by deputy Charles
L. Emanuel. Mr. Emanuel says he
found seven molds for counterfeiting
in all denominations from tv nickel to
one dollar. It is thought that there
are several more who will bo arrested
in a few days. The counterfeit money
has been passing around for about six
months.
The Columbia, S. 0., Journal pub
lislios mi interesting article stating
that rumor has it that tho legislature
may bo called together iu extra session
to change the election laws, in order
“that there may be no question of the
legality of Tillman’s election to the
senate. It should bo stated that the
republicans are now contesting the le¬
gality of the eight box ami registra¬
tion laws of the stale,” and if these
laws are declared constitutional, might
not the legislature elected under them,
and which, in turn, elects n United
Htates senator, also be unconstitutional.
The American I’harmaeeutieal Asso

purpose of putting a stop to w hat Hie
druggists look upon with alarm as an
encroachment on their own business.
It is claimed by thorn that year by
year the doctors are gelling tilling more and
more into the habit of their
own prescriptions and dispensing
drugs from their own offices, greatly
to the detriment of the prescription
business of druggists.

liy Lightning.
A dispatch from DoKalb, 111., says:
Lightning played havoc among the va¬
rious email towns of this section Fri
day night. As a result the business
portion of Malta, a sinall town of 600
inhabitants, !h in ashes, with losses ag
gregnting $50,000.
The little settlement of Henrietta
was also visited by lightning nml com
plotely wiped out. The loss will not
prove very extensive.
At Caledonia four buildings were
struck at different ........ and each was
dost royed.
At Elmhurst a big barn was struck
and totally destroyed. Tbo people
had hard work to save the scboolhoiiso,
situated near by.
Rockford name in for if h share of
the flames, anil in that town three lirea
wore caused by lightning.
At Helvidere, a physician's stable
was struck and consumed, together
with two horses.
Huntley suffered Die loss of three
buildings, one of which was a stable.
In the latter instance four horses were
cremated.
At Herbert two buildings wire
burned.
The Northwestern Railway Colli
pany’s track for a stretch of three
hundred feet, at Trout park, is washed

THE I'LI.E* V .STAPLE.
TI,,- Agricultural Dc|iarloieol’s Cot¬
ton Report.
The Beptombor report of the statin
tician of the department of agririil
turn at Washington makes cotton show
a < Ice,line of 5.9 points from the Au¬
gust condition, which was 91.8, against
85.9 for this month, The condition
of the plant in the month of Jane
was 88.3, rising to 89.6 in July and
to 91.8 last month, as stated. The
August condition for the year 1893
was 80.4, and the Heptember comli
tiou for the same year was 73.4, a fall¬
ing off of seven points. Tho Beptern
ber condition lor this year is 12.5
points higher than that of 1893.
Tho state averages are: Virginia,
100; North Carolina, 88; Mouth Caro
lina, 86; Georgia, 84; Florida, "2 ;
Alabama, 86; Mississippi, 85; Louisi
ana, 91; Texas, 84; Arkansas, 89;
Tennessee, 84; Mieeonri, 93.
'J he principal cause of the decided
decline in the condition since the last
report was the excessive rainfall
throughout the larger part, of the cot
ton belt, producing a too great growth
of the weed and checking the develop
merit of the fruit, also causing shed
ding, rotting and rust. The general
tenor of the reports is “bio much rain
and heat, causing too great growth of
the weed ami too little of the fruit,”

<*liII«Iroll's ^lislnkes.
Never scold a child for mistakes, and
do not ncrvouHly and impatiently fret
ami nag and worry at it bccauso it
docs not learn to do a thing after once
telling. \N hen a baby begins to sit at,
th*' table and use a spoon, there is
need of continuous quiet and judicious
watching ami training, in order to
cultivate proper habits and touch it to
use tho spoon and fork correctly.
There in nothing at all inviting,
cunning or pretty in weeing a child
play with its food or making unsuc¬
cessful and awkward attempts to get
1 lie spoon t*> its mouth.
Tench the child precisely wlmt is to
bo *lo.no and do not stop until it un¬
derstands, then mildly but hrmly in¬
sist on its doing tho right thing as
nearly as it is nblr ovi'i'y timo. There
arc children of live years w hose tu 1 > 1 o
manners tiro everything that could be
do ored. There are ethers, children of
larger growth, who all their lives are a
source of annoyance to their friends
because they either do not know or do
not care what proper deportment is.
It is noiiseiiHO to say tlmt olio oivn
not teach children. Every mother of
a family should take time herself, or,
if she is not enpahlo of doing this,
should employ some trustworthy per¬
son to do it for her.
It is almost always possible to timl
time for the things wO want, to do
most, and certainly there can be noth¬
ing more important than tho judicious
care that assures for th*' child in later
years reasonably good table manners.
A crusade is being started against
th*' engagement ring in Boston, (>110
of 1 ho reasons given for its proposed
abolition is that many girls become
engaged for no other purpose than to
mid another ring to their collection
ami break off the contract as soon as
it becomes convenient.
