Toronto, Canada, observes the Phila
delphia Record, is most probably the
strictest Sabbatarian city in America and
very few cities in auy part of the world
are more rigid. All business is sus
pended on Sunday, all stores are closed ;
it is even forbidden to sell newspapers or
soda water.
It is a strange story that comes from
New Orleans. While playing a hose
upon a tire a telephone and an electric
light wire got crossed, and the stream
of water striking the wires, a heavy cur
rent was thereby afforded an opportunity
to make a ground, which it did through
the column of water and the body ol
too fireman who held the nozzle, killing
him insviutly. This story may or may
jot be a.- regards ins actual happen
ing, comments the Boston Transcript,
but the fact remains that theoretically
it is possible for just such an accident to
occur.
Nearly two-thirds of the water or
dinarily used by New York is clea:
waste, according to the figures of con
sumption and supply for London. Witli
a population more than three times New
York’s, the daily consumption of that
population is 183,859,000 gallons. It
is figured out that the requirement in
twenty years will reach 290,000,00 C
gallons; that it will require at least three
years to get the consent of Parliament
after anew scheme for reaching ad
ditioual sources shall be matured, and
not less than twelve years more to erect
the works. As no steps have even been
proposed yet, the conclusion is reached
that the supply of underground water
must be relied on to provide for the in
creased consumption.
The Chicago Tribune ha? the follow
ing: “The embezzlement record of the
year is a large one. The total of recorded
defalcations is $19,720,294. It is nearly
two and three-tenths times the total of
1890, and the list is only a partial one.
Undoubtedly some have been ‘missed’ in
the count, and the list does not include
what is probably a considerable number
that were privately settled, one of the
conditions to which was that the steal
should not be reported to the public. If
these could be included the proportion
might not be materially altered, but the
total would perhaps rise as high as $25,-
000,000, or an average of forty cents
for every inhabitant of the United States
lost by men who abused the trust reposed
in them by others who confi led to the n
the care of personal property.”
The Panama Star and Herald f is
authority for the following statement of
extra inducements Venezuela is willing
to give to secure the immigrants she
wants to develop her rich but wild ter
ritory: “The Government will pay the
passage of the immigrant from the port
of sailing to the port of landing, allow
him to import his personal belongings,
tools, etc., free of duty, will pay his
board for sixteen days, give him two and
a half acres of land and allow him to
purchase all he wants for half price,with
two years’ credit to pay for it, exempt
him from military service, and guarantee
him all the privileges and humanities
allowed to foreigners.” It should be
stated that the Republic is somewhat
particular as to the kind of immigrants
it -will receive.
The day of sky-scraping buildings, so
far as Chicago is concerned, seem to
Frank Leslie's Weekly to'be at an end.
The Underwriters’ Association of that
city have formally decided that they will
not insure any structures, except office
buildings, which exceed eighty-five feet
in height and that all office buildings of
non-combustible construction mast b<
limited in height to one and one-half
times the width of the street upon which
the building may be constructed. The
Underwriters’ Association, being one of
the most powerful association* in the
country, its decrees will undoubtedly be
enforced. It is said, indeed, that a num
ber of contracts for high buildings have
already been recalled. It ii to ba hoped
that the policy here laid down will bo
enforced in other cities, and that some
regard to security will be paid in the
erection of public and private buildings
everywhere throughout the country.

NATIONAL CAPITAL
THE FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS
AT WORK.
Daily Routine of Both Houses Brieflj
Outlined.
THE HOUSE.
Wednesday. —That the members of
the house arc becoming somewhat weary
of its long discussion over the rules was
evidenced Wednesday morning by the
small attendance when the speaker called
the body to order. The house resumed
consideration of the rules. The pending
motion was that made by Mr. Boatner,
of Louisiana, striking out thf clause per
mitting general legislation on appropria
tion bills, provided that, being germain,
it retrenches on expenditures.
Thursday.— Consideration of the
rules having been resumed, Mr. Enloe, of
Tennessee, offered an amendment pro
viding that eulogies to deceased mem
bers shall be delivered Sundays,
(and Sunday only.) on which day the
ceremonies shall be opened with prayer
by the chaplaiD. These services, he
said, were in the nature of religious ser
vices. and no more appropriate day could
be selected for giving tribute to deceased
members than Sunday. Mr. Morse, of
Massachusetts, seconded the amend
ment. He believed that memorial ser
vices were educational and proper and
the Lord’s day was the most suitable
o- e that could be choseu. Mr. Ray, of
New York, opposed the amendment. It
was evidently offered in the interest of
those persons who never attended church.
Mr. Ileed, of Maine, gave information
that the consumption of time in the first
session of the last congress for memorial
services was twenty-four days.
Friday.— When the deficiency appro
priation bill for the census office came up
in the house Friday, Mr. Sayres, a mem
ber of the appropriations committee,
raised the question as to the use of the
$6,000,000 heretofore appropriated for
the office, and he directly charged that
the office had been grossly mismaua ;d,
and that Superintendent Porter had been
recklessly extravagant. He did not pro
long the controversy further than to
state that he had proofs that the census
office had been conducted extravagantly,
as stated. The deficiency, however, was
accepted by the house, and the appropri
ation made. In the meantime it is the
intent on of the democratic leaders in
congress to have a thorough investigation
of the census office.
Monday. —The house spent the day
debating the passage of a resolution of
inquiry into the expenditures of the
world’s fair. The appropriations com
mittee was instructed to make the in
vestigations. Among the new bills in
troduced was one to allow the interstate
commission to give special rates to com
mercial travelers.
THE SENATE.
Wednesday. —lu the senate, Wednes
day, Mr. Dolph, from the committe on
foreign relations, reported back adverse
ly the various anti-Chinese bills intro
duced and referred at the present session,
and reported, in lieu of them, a bill con
tinuing in force for ten years all laws
now in force prohibiting and regulating
the coming into this country of Chinese
persons and persons of Chinese descent.
Calendar.' The joint resolution, proposing
an amendment to the constitution of the
United States relating to marriage and
divorce, heretofore introduced by Mr.
Kyle, was taken up and Mr. Kyle ad
dressed the senate in support of it.
Thursday. —ln the abscence of Vice
President Morton,the chair was occupied
by Mr. Manderson, president pro teffi.
Among the bills reported from the com
mittees and placed on the calender were
the following: Authorizing the con
struction of bridges across the Talla
poosa and Coosa rivers; to extend
the provisions of the act in re
lation to the immediate transportation of
dutiable goods to St. Augustine, Fla.
The following bills were reported back
adversely: To extend the provisions of
the act for the immediate transportation
of dutiable goods to Fernandina, Fla.
At the request of Mr. Pasco, this bill was
placed on the calendar. At 12:3) the
senate proceeded to executive business.
When the doors were reopened the re
port of the committee on privileges and
elections in the case of the Florida sena
torship (declaring Mr. Call entitled to
the seat) was taken up for action, aud
the report read, closing with the sen
tence: “The appointment, of Davidson
was an act of mere irrelevancy, which it
is not necessary further to notice.”
NOTES.
The senate on Monday confirmed the
nomination of Rathburn to be postmaster
at Elmira, N. Y.
Among the new petitions to Congress
for the week are many against sending
liquor to Africa, and several to transfer
the Revenue Marine Service to the Navy,
to reduce letter postage to one cent per

tem into the Custom Service.
“Sockless” Simpson has introduced a

BRAVE FIREMEN
Rescue Twenty Little Girls from ft
Terrible Death.
A fire was discovered shortly after 9
o’clock Tuesday morning in the Trinity
church mission house, a six-story build
ing, at 211 Fulton street, New York.
On the second and third floors there were
twenty children, all girls, in charge of
several sisters. The fire broke out in the
basement, and was caused by a defective
flue. Before its presence was known the
smoke and flames filled the
lower portion of the building,
seemingly cutting off from escape
the children and sisters. A panic
seized the children and they ran to the
windows, screaming for help. Hook and
ladder company No. 1 and engine com
pany No. 16 are only a few doors distant.
Firemen were promptly on hand. Fire
man Argue covered his head with his
coat and rushing up stairs through the
smoke, returned with five little girls. He
went back again and brought out five
more children. Other firemen followed
him and all the other children and the
sistejs were taken out in safety.
THEIR POSITION DEFINED.
The Third Party aud Alliance are Sepa
rate Organizations.
A dispatch of Wednesday from Topeka,
Kau., says: The official organ of the
Farmers’ Alliance in this state, published
by the executive committee of the order,
this week contains statements authorized
by the executive committee, showing the
distinction between the people’s patty
and the Alliance. The two organizations
are, the committee states, entirely sepa
rate, the people's party being outside
of and independent of the Alliance. The
statement continues:
“We now officially declare that there
is no such things as an alliance ticket.
Neither can the alliance hold a party po
litical caucus, party primary election
or adopt direct party measures as
such within alliance meetings jusoper,
without the liability of
their charter. We the

MONEY EASILY EARNED.
“What? Another new dre?s!” said a
married man to his better half, as the
parcel was opened.
“Don’t distress yourself,” she replied.
“I paid for this out of my own pocket.”
“Oh, indeed! But where did you get
the money from?”
“I sold your overcoat,” was the cool
reply.
MRS. SCRIME’S GARDENING.
Old Friend—Did you have much of a
garden this year?
Mr. Scrimp (of Scrimpville) —No; it
didn’t amount to much. In the spring I
gave a grand garden digging tournament,
the young ineu who dug the most to have
the pick of the girls for the evening, aud
it worked well, but it cost me ’most two
dollars for refreshments. Then I had a
planting bee, and that wasn’t so expen
sive, only r the planting wasn’t half done.
Later on I tried tp get up a wedding
festival, but somehow the young folks
sort o’ lost interest, aud I gave up gar
dening in disgust.—[Now York Weekly.
POSTOFFICE FACILITIES.
Money Orders Given if the Postmaster’s
Compensation Reaches S2OO.
A Washington dispatch of Saturday
says: Postmaster General Wanamaker
has issued an order giving money order
facilities to all postoffices where the
compensation of the postmaster reaches
S2OO per annum. The expense of carry
ing this order into effect is trifling, and
the offices already established under it
are doing an amount of business greatly
in excess of the anticipation of the de
partment.

James E. Boyd: Dear sir: When I
commenced proceedings one year ago to
test your title to the office of governor,
I did so in the full belief that there was
great doubt in the public mind ns to your
citizenship and eligibility. I then took
occasion to publish that as soon as your
citizenship was established by the courts,
I would gladly surrender the office to
you. The contest was not one of per

of my own, but to comply with and up
hold the constitution of the state.
Now" that the public press has an
nounced that the highest tribune has
declared under the constitution and laws
of our country and state your rights to
office, I cheerfully yield the office of
governor to you without awaiting the
mandate of the court. As lam about to
leave the state on Monday to be absent
3ome weeks, it would be most convenient
to turn over the office to you at 2 o’clock
jf that day, if it is your pleasure to ac
:ept the same at that time.
Very respectfully,

COTTON LOSSES BY FIRE.
An interesting Letter to the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange.
President Waiter C. Flower, of the
New Orleans cotton exchange, has ad
dressed a letter which has been published,
to the collector of the port of New Or
leans, in answer to a circular letter of the
treasury department sent to all cotton
ports, calling attention to the impropriety
of baled cotton, and the losses by cotton
fires, aud directing that the reports be
made for prosecutions of all violations
of the law r . President Flower, in a long
array of statistics, 9hows that out of
20,000,000 bales of cotton received at
New Orleans in the last ten years, only
35,000 bales were partly damaged. He
says cotton fire losses from
all causes since 1882 were only
$509,000 out of $1,000,000,000 of
total value, equal to $1 iu $2,000.
n¥w EVIDENCE
In the Wrecking of the Keystone Bank
-•Yard Implicated.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: At the
hearing Tuesday of Henry H. Yard, who
was involved with Ex-City Treasurer John
Batdsley and President Gideon W. Marsh
in the wreck of the Keystone bank, some
evidence was introduced by United States
District Attorney Read which created a
decided sensation and promises to un
raval the mystery of the disappearance of
the bank’s entire capital.
Government Expert A. R. Barrett tes
tified, from his examination of the bank’s
books that Yard’s indebtedness at the
time of its closing in March last was
$493,785, including overdrafts of $278,-
611. Of the remainder, there are four
certificates of deposit, amounting to $5,-
000 each, issued to Yard without being
charged against him, action which is bar
red by the statues of limitations.
*• GARZA STILL ON DECK
And Giving Trouble on Both Sides of
the Rio Grande.
A Washington telegram of Saturday
says: The Garza movement along the
Mexican border is giving the officials of
the war department considerable trouble
just at present. No secret is made of
their disappointment that Garza is still
at large in the American territory, and
that his operations cannot be confined
exclusively to Mexican territory. Garza
aud his followers are known to have re
ceived aid and sympathy from the Mexi
can residents in the vicinity of Rio
Grande, and the fact that the United
States troops are unable to capture the
revolutionists is, in a large measure, at
tributed to the deception practiced upon
them by these people.
CHILI AT CHICAGO.
It is Probable that She Will Not
Send an Exhibit.
A cablegram of Tuesday from Valpa
raiso to the New York Herald says:
There does not appear to be any likeli
hood of the Chilian government voting
money for the Chicago fair, partly on
account of the present financial status of
the country and partly because Commis
sioner Harlow is accused of being the
author of sensational telegrams which
have been sent to certain American pa
pers. This has set the people against
him.
NO MORE LOTTERY
THE GREAT L. S. L. GIVES UP
THE-FIGHT.
And will Retire from Business-The
Announcement a Surprise.
A New Orleans dispatch of Thursday
says: The state is convulsed by the sen
sation produced by the card issued by
John A. Morris, announcing that the
Louisiana Lottery company will go out
of business. The most bitter feelings
were aroused through the lottery’s fight
for a renewal of its charter. Both polit
ical parties split, and the moral question,
like that involved in liquor prohibition
campaign, has entered even the families,
which are divided everywhere. Those
not on the scene can hardly begin to
appreciate the bitterness of passion which
has existed. Happily, this will now
subside, the cause being removed.
Ihe company takes high ground for
giving up the fight. Asa matter of
tact, a continuance of it would be costly
to the lottery corporation, and could not
help it auy. Since the lottery was ex
cluded from the mail, the revenues have
dwindled to a point where there is little
profit left. Mr. Morris, who is the
principal holder of the lottery company
and stock, says in his card to the people
of the state:
“Realizing tli roughly, my associates
and I, that we have been incorrect in our
opinion of public sentiment on this ques
tion of anew charter, and not desiring
to see the people of the state of Louisi
ana involved iu strife over this question,
I hereby declare upon my part and upon
the part of my associates that we would
not accept or qualify under the proposed
amendment to the constiiution, even were
it to be adopted by the people at the
general election of April next. As
the supreme court of the United
States has decided the anti-lottery postal
law to be constitutional, it is my purpose
and that of my associates to respect that
law and abstain from violating it in any
manner. Our offer was prompted as
much by the desire to benefit the people
of Louisiana as by the prospect of profit
to ourselves from the grant as a business
proposition. My associates and I are
closely identified with the interests of
the people of Lousiana, as we own much
property within the borders of the state.
Convinced that the granting of another
lottery charter ip ’he stato would be the
cause of continued agitation and discon
tent upon the part of a number of citi
zens of Louisiana for the entire period
for which the charter might be granted,
we would be unwilling tp accept such a
charter even though it was given to us
without the, payment of $1 of license
tax.”
THE LETTER A SURPRISE.
Mr. Morris’s letter was a surprise to
the great majority of the people, al
though it had practically been decided
on some two weeks ago. After going
over the matter, Mr. Morris had come to
the conclusion that, in view of the strong
opposition that had been aroused to the
company, and especially the passage of
the anti-lottery postal law, it would be
impossible, if the law was declared consti
tutional by the United States supreme
court, to pay Louisiana $1,250,000 a year
and carry on the business with profit. The
net earnings of the company were about
four million a year. Since it has been shut
out of the mails it has shrunk
to barelv one-third what it was
before, having earnings of about
one million three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars or one million four hun
dred thousand dollars. If the state of
Louisiana received $1,250,000 of
this, there would be nothing left for
the stockholders. These facts were laid
before the company, and it was decided
to abandon the application for a re
newal of the charter in case the
court decided the anti-lottery postal
law constitutional. When the decision
came the paper was drawn up and given
so the press.
THE QUESTION SETTLED.
This disposes of the question of the ex
tension of the charter. All the tickets
at the coming election will be against the
lottery amendments, and the vote
will be practically unanimous against
it. The charter of the company has still
two years to run, until January 1895.
The company will serve out its charter,
asit can well do, as it now pays the
state a bonus of only $40,000 a year. At
the end of the term it will wind up its
affairs and retire from business.
DR. M’KENZIE DEAD.
He Was the Acknowledged Greatest
Physician of the Century.
A London cablegram of Wednesday
night says: Sir Morell MacKenzie, the
greatest physician, is dead. He had suf
fered from bronchitis and asthma, fol
lowing his recent attack of influenza.
His illness, however, it was considered,
had taken a favorable course. His death
wm quite sudden.
The career of Dr. MacKenzie as a
physician is a striking example of
force of genius. He early displayed
great analytical and surgical power, and,
when yet quite young, was regarded by
the seniors of a jealous profession as their
equal. His fame traveled from England
to all parts of the world, where his name
came to be regarded as an authority in
medicine.
