When Li Hung Chang comes to New York there will be seen and heard in Chinatown such a celebration as never took place anywhere outside of the celestial empire. The merchants of Mott and Pell and Dovers streets have been making their arrangements for weeks. The viceroy will have a wel¬ come that will make him think of home.and country if money and inge¬ nuity and native pride can accomplish it. Lanterns will cluster so thickly over¬ head that the sky will be hidden. Fire¬ crackers will explode continuously from one end of the district to the other. There will be feasting in the restaurants and smoking of opium and a cessation of business in laundries and stores on certain great nights, and, above all, there will be such a display of the Chinese flag as never has been seen in this town before.—New York World. Uniform Cotton Bale. For the last year or even longer, there has been an effort on foot in Texas, and in other cotton-bearing states, to secure a uniform bale of cot¬ ton. The advantages in having all of the cotton of the south pressed into uniform size bales are many, and rail¬ road people have long sought to bring some kind of influence to bear which would secure the desired result. But on account of a large percentage of the press owners being put to more or less expense in changing their presses, no great headway has been made up Bui to the beginning of last season. since last season there has been a great deal of mission work done in this di¬ rection, and the outlook now is very favorable to the next season’s bales proving of a more uniform size.—New Orleans Picayune.

The rally of populists Thursday night, booked as a ratification meeting, was enthusiastic and immense. There were fully 8,000 people present. The meeting was held in the Moody tabernacle and was called to order at 8 o’clock. Judge J. K. Hines presided. After the excitement of Watson’s entrance had subsided, after the fer¬ ment of enthusiasm was stilled, after the hoarse yelling was checked by the continued efforts of Judge J. K. Hines, who waved his hands to pacify, a tall form issued from the crowd and scanned the audience. He had been introduced by Judge Hines as Howard, of Alabama, the man who placed Wat¬ son in nomination at St. Louis. “I would be recreant to my trust,” he said, “if I failed to raise my voice in behalf of this great movement, if I failed to voice the sentiment of the people of this great country. We have reached a crisis. We are facing new conditions. We are upon the verge of a political revolution. “We said at St. Louis that we were willing to sacrifice everything for the toiling millions. We will give up ev¬ erything, but we must not let our party go. We are ready to present a united front to the people. We are willing to stand side by side for the fray. I ask yon, my democratic friends, to get in line with us. All that we ask is that the people’s party flag be carried by Thomas Watson. The time is upon ns now, and unless we get the reins m our hands God knows when we will make another stand. I congratulate the democrats for naming a gallant man—a man who represents the princi¬ ples of the people’s party. Watson and Bryan, the two great leaders cf the people—the Moses and the Aaron who shall lead us across the read sea of McKinleyism into the promised land. My friends, let us take courage for the conflict. We are going to be victori ous. We are in the midst of the most stupendous struggle the world has ever seen. We are marching on to a great triumph.” Howard was given a wild ovation. After a few preliminaries Tom Wat¬ son came. Mr. Watson was looking well. H9 stepped to the platform from the sawdust floor with an agile step and bounded on the rostrum, al¬ ready crowded with his friends, with a light leap. yelling had For five minntes the been continuous, punctuated at inter¬ vals with peculiar laudatory expres¬ sions from different parts of the huge hall. “The delegation to the St. Louis convention met the democrats half way, and now we ask the democrats of Georgia to meet us half way.” “We must cut loose from eastern and northern connections and align ourselves with the great west.” “After the Chicago convention the great leaders winked at each other and said to themselves: ‘We have caught the bear. 9 99 “After the St. Louis convention there wasn’t one who dared to wink and swear that the bear hadn’t caught him.” “We want to be fair. When you ask us to give our support to Sewall from the rigorous regions of Maine we must most respectfully decline. I say we cannot vote for him and yon ought not to.” “My God, hasn’t the south played « - ‘We are not going to put out any nominee against Mr. Bryan. We are going to vote for him whether yon take Sewall down or not. I am going to try to get every vote for Bryan whether Watson goes down in defeat or not.” “Let Bryan have every vote you’ve got. Let Senator Jones insult yon at his pleasure. Think of your country, and what the result of McKinleyism means, and may God Almighty take care of you and your party.” It was such expressions as these that drove the eight thousand people com¬ posing the audience wild. It was the earnest voice of Tom Watson that fired them to white heat with enthusiasm. At the end of every sentence there was a storm of yells, a hurricane of hnzzas from his enthused supporters. He spoke an hour and a half. The people cried for more. They crowded about the platform. They scrambled over each other in their feverish eager¬ ness to get hold of Watson’s hand—to say a word to him. Wearied with exertion, fagged with the reaction and intense heat, he sank wearily into a chair. When Watson finished Seab Wright, who had been sent for by a number of those who bad been urging his cause for governor, appeared and made the most dramatic play of the evening. As he concluded some one in the audience called out: “Hurrah for the next governor of Georgia.” It seemed to catch the crowd. The peo¬ ple veiled with delicbt. “For thirty years,’’said Mr. Wright, “the people have been in sackcloth and ashes; for thirty years we have been at the feet of the east. It is time for ns to declare onr political inde¬ pendence.” Wright spoke in favor of Bryan Mr. and Watson. He was roundly cheered. After his address Judge Hines de¬ clared the meeting adjourned.___ WOMAN’S INFLUENCE. The influence of women upon tha civilization of the world, could neve: be measured. Because of her, thrones have been established and destroyed. The flask of her eye, the touch of her hand, and we have the marvellous power of women, glorious in the possession of perfect physical health. Lydia E. Piukham, by her wonder¬ ful discovery of the “ Vegetable Com¬ pound,” has done much to place this great power in iC the hands of / /( women. y She has lifted ( thousands and thousands out r of the misery ly -• brought by /j \ j displace mentofthe w - / womb, and f all the evils fi " that follow o diseases of v \ i the uterus. The “Vege¬ table C om pound ” re¬ 'If stores natural cheerfulness, de¬ stroys despondency, cures backache, strengthens the muscles, restores tlii womb to its normal condition, and you are changed from a physical wreck U the joy of your home and friends. By the way—the leading druggists tell us that the demand for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is simply beyond their power of under¬ standing, and what is best of all. it does the work and cures where the best physicians utterly faiL Tall Chimneys. The highest, chimney in England is supposed to be that of Barlow <fc Dob¬ son’s mill at Bolton; it is 368 feet high, and is built of 900,000 bricks and 122 tons of stone. It is excelled by at least two in Scotland—the St. Rollox chimney in Glasgow, is 445 feet and the Townsend chimney in the same city is said to be 468 feet high. Bnt the steeple jacks make no more of climbing such chimneys than one a third of their height, thonghthe vibra¬ tion is more serious at times. All chimneys vibrate, especially in a gale —it is a condition of their safety—but the oscillation at tho top is a serious matter for any one to work there dur¬ ing a high wind, and in such condi¬ tions the job is postponed to a calmer season. Lancashire also boasts of one of the crookedest chimneys in the country—a shaft at Brook Mill, Hey wood—which is nearle 200 feet high, but is more than six feet out of plumb. It has been belted with iron bands, and is considered secure.—Chambers’ Journal. Well Done, Faithful. “Jones,” said the city editor to the new reporter. “I’ve got nobody to copy the hotel arrivals, so I wish you’d go over and take the Pacific house register.” The new reporter went straight to the hotel. A guest was registering, but the moment he was through the reporter grabbed the book and started. “Hi there,” shouted the clerk, “bring that back.” The clerk and all the bell boys got after him, but in vain. A moment later he burst triumphantly into the newspaper office out of breath. “I—I got it!” he shouted. “Got what?” asked the city editor. “The register!,’—The World.

In a discussion of the amount of lumber consumed in the making of boxes, Barrel and Box, a paper recent¬ ly started at Louisville, is authority for the statement that a certain Chica¬ go soap concern uses every year $105 000 worth of white pine soap boxes in Chicago, and $80,000 worth of cotton¬ wood boxes at St. Louis. The to¬ tal number of boxes used by this company last year was 1,541,- 696. Another Chicago concern uses 1,500,000 boxes every year. The firm operates its own box factory at Rhinelander, AVis. There are fully fifty other soap manufac¬ turers in this country, and Barrel and Box estimates that altogether 150, 000,000 boxes are used in packing soap alone. Two of the large soap manufacturers expend each year $400, 000 for boxes. If3,000,000 boxes cost $400,000, 150,000,000 would involve the expenditure of $20,000,000 for soap packages alone. Continniug the calculation through the vast range of packing-box demand, which involves almost every industry kuowu to man, we can imagine how enormous is the expenditure in its grand total, and what an amount of lumber is consumed in its manufacture. It. is evident that the making of boxes furnishes the larg¬ est percentage of the demand for the coarser and common grades of lumber,, and that, as the years pass, there will be a sure outlet for low grade white pine, cottonwood, yellow pine and all other lumber that can be worked into boxes.—Northwestern Lumberman.
