! The act passed by the last Nevada
tLeglslature authorizing the killing ol
.Wild horses throughout the State baa
developed a profitable Industry and
camps of hunters havo been estab¬
lished at all of the springs and water
courses where the bands resort. The
hides sell for $2 each and tho hair
of their manes and tails bring 15 cents

tbe wild equine species Is far more
profuse than on tho tamed animals,
a weight of nearly ten pounds of hair
being frequently obtained from one
carcass.
The first hunterR to take the field
after the law went Into effect realized
handsomely, frequently shooting from

began the animals have come to view
man as a relentless foe and as soon as
one Is sighted or scented by a hand
they bound away over the hill, plain
and canyon at a speed that defies pur-

Idibor I.iw Cmiuteil.
It is announced at Fall River, Mass.,
that all but one or possibly two cotton
manufacturing corporations have sign¬
ed an agreement to abide by the re¬
commendations of a special committee
of the Manufacturers’ Association
which has been appointed to take
some steps for an improvement iu tho
condition of (lie local cotton industry.
It is expected that a shut down or a
decided reduction of wages will bo ad-
vised. Some manufacturers are op-
posqd to a shut down, urging that it
will hot improve affairs. They, point
out that.Fall River no longer y4utrols
the markets and that it would simply
allow millsiu other states to meet the
improved demand by running over¬
time.
This is particularly possible in tho
south, and the only remedy is believed
to bo in securing a national law gov¬
erning hours of labor.
Home of the advocates of a cut down
who are represented on with the committee,
favor a cut beginning the treas¬
urer and which aliply to every em¬

ating widespread apprehension along

chants engaged in the whaling busi¬
ness and among sailors and their fami¬
lies.
The anxiety has become so great
that tlio trustees of the San Francisco
chamber of commerce have determined
to hold a meeting immediately for the
purpose of formulating a telegraphic
dispatch to he etpnt to the president of

patch n relief expedition to their rescue

Judge Aoheson in tho United States

abuse of the law lias been in the cias-
situ ation of tobacco at the <i eru
ports of entry as the following instance
'yfaforTirn'k^the appraiser treasury draw agent exam- at
Tampa, had the
pies from the thirteen bales of impol -
ed leaf. Five of these were pronounced while
ns wrapper by the nppi aiser,
Major Linek thought all of them
should have been classed as wrapper,
He accordingly sent these samples tc
New York, where ten of them were
classed as wrapper, They were then
sent to New Orleans and received the
information that all were filler. The
New Orleans classification would have
collected $546 duty. Tampa's collec¬
tion would have been $1,446, while
that of New York would have amount¬
ed to $2,546; hut if the matter had
been left to Major Linck he would
have assessed $ 2,886 duty on that
small lot of tobacco.
A meeting of the appraisers of this
country assembled in New York last
F riday ns a result of this instance, to
establish a uniform classification of
tobacco at all ports of entry in this
country. The manufacturers have
employed the ablest lawyers in the
country to look out for their interests,
which is not the interest of the gov¬
ernment or the tobacco growers of
this country. They wish to secure a
liberal classification for themselves,
and wish also to have the ruling of the
secretary of the treasury modified like¬
wise in their favor.
The board of trade of Bartow, Polk
county, Florida, which is a great to¬
bacco growing center, realizing that
the growers were doing nothing for
their own protection, and appreciating
the fact that the influence of the im¬
porters is a mighty power, called a
meeting of their organization Friday
night and passed the following resolu¬
tions.
« ( Whereas, the tobacco growing in¬
dustry in this state promises to be im¬
portant in its development, and xvhere-
is, to grow tobacco profitably it is
essential that the duties on imported
tobacco he honestly collected, there¬
fore be it
“Resolved, That the Bartow board of
trade hereby wholly and unreservedly
indorses the recent rulings of the sec¬
retary of the treasury as to the tariff
and classification on imported tobacco,
knowing it to be in the interest of the
growers of this country.
“Resolved, further, That copies of
this resolution lie forwarded to the
secretary of the treasury, our senators
and congressmen, and that the state
press, boards of trade, • tobacco asso¬
ciations, county commissioners, city
councils and al! organizations interest¬
ed in the future cf our state be urged
to take similar and speedy action, in¬
sisting that the secretary of the treas¬
ury adhere to his rulings, which are
just and righteous.”
This is considered to be the proper
step to take, and it is hoped that the
tobacco growers of every state in the
union will co-operate in the movement
which is designed for mutual protec¬
tion. It is believed that the success
of domestic cigar leaf hinges upon this

Inspection and Restriction at Atlanta,Ua.,
Done Away tilth.
The finale of the yellow fever scare
in Atlanta, Ga., if such it may be
termed, came Thursday.
Mayor Collier and Dr. Alexander,
president of the board of health, both
came to the conclusion that there was
no further necessity for keeping in¬
specting physicians on the railroads
entering the city, or of keeping up tho
issuance of health certificates.
Dr. O. M. Corpnt, who served so
faithfully in the capacity of health of¬
ficer in the way of issuing certificates,
suggested to Dr. Alexander that there
w as no further need of keeping up that
office.

Crinding Up a Whale.
There recently arrived at Liverpool
the steamer Latona, whose captain re¬
ports a remarkable occurrence in the
neighborhood of Demerara. His ves¬
sel, which was going along smoothly,
suddenly stopped. An examination of j
the screw propeller showed that a big
fish had been caught in the aperture The j I
in which the propeller worked,
creature stuck out at each side at least
twenty-five feet in length. Captain i
Gardener states dashing that it the lashed its in tail all j |
tremendously, spray
directions, so that all attempts to get)
a rope around it proved abortive. An
attempt was made to cut the creature j
in two with a sharpened spade affixed
to the end of a kPar, but owing to the
rolling of the vessel this also failed.
At length the captain ordered the engi-
neer to set the propeller going slowly
to and fro. This he did, and at each
movement of the screw a noise like the
rending of stout canvas was heard.
The great fish was in effect being liter¬
ally sliced up, a great piece being
taken off it as each blade came around.
After this had gone on for some mo¬
ments the engines were put on full
steam and for a moment all round
the stern bits of fish were flying in the
air. At last the screw became free,
and the last remnant of the great fish
fell into the sea. Captain Gardener
declares the belief that the fish was a
small whale, perhaps what is called a
grampus.
The Queen’s Jaegers,
Besides her Scotch, English and In¬
dian male servants, the Queen has a
couple of German attendants who go
by the name of Jaeger, and who at¬
tend her Majesty wherever she goes.
When in full dress they are garbed in
the most magnificent plumed hats,
green coats with gold embroideries,
and a short sword, or rather hunting
knife, the hilt o’ "'hich is gold-mount¬
ed buckhorn.
These German Jaegers were intro¬
duced by the Prince Consort, for in
Germany, not only every royal per¬
sonage, but, moreover, every, good
nobleman or ambassador has his spe¬
cial body Jaeger. The Prince of Wales’
Jaeger, for instance, invariably at¬
tends his royal master at all the din¬
ners at which the Prince may be pres¬
ent.
He stands behind the Prince’s chair,
arrayed in a scariet coat, and the
dishes with which the Prince is to be
served are invariably handed to the
Jaeger to place before His Royal High¬
ness. None of the ordinary servants
of the establishment are permitted to
serve the Prince himself.
