Holiday* the World Over.
' f A computation made a abort time
allowed ago
that among the European coun
triea the two in which wages were
highest and the hours o t labor least
were England and France, whereas the
two countries in which wages were
smallest and the hours of labor long¬
est were Italy and Russia. In some
countries of the world an explanation
of the apparent dearth At progressive
industry among the inhabitants is to
be found, perhaps, in the recurrence of
holidays of a religious, patriotic or
purely social character, and many per¬
sons who are familiar with the indus¬
trial usages in some cities of South
and Central America say that there the
number of holidays scents to exceed the
number of working days. There are In
some countries usually not fewer than
a doien church festivals; and there are
besides patriotic festivals. A similar
state of affairs exists in all lAtin coun¬
tries. Deducting the Sundays and holi¬
days, the number of workjpg days in
the United States, exclusive of the gulf
states, is 305. In Russia there are 267
working days; Groat Britain has 278;
Portugal, 283; Spain, 290; Austria, 292;
Italy, 298; Bavaria, Belgium and Brazil,
300 each; Denmark, France, Norway,
Saxony, Switzerland and Wurtemburg,
302 each' Sweden, 304; Prussia and Ire¬
land, 305; the Netherlands, 308; Hun¬
gary, 312.
It has been found impossible to get
any accurate figures from the South
American countries, but 200 Is the
maximum estimate of actual working
days in many , of them. Of course, if
the number of Sundays be subtracted
from the total number of days in a
year there are left 313, and if one-third
of the other days available for work
are set apart for holiday purposes it is
perfectly clear wby there should not
be more than 200 working days in a
year. In Anglo-Saxon countries and in
tbe United States the special effort of
working inen has been not to reduce
the days of labor, but tbe hours of
labor In each day, and thus there haa
been within the last twenty years a
larger reduction, really, of working
time In the United States and In Great
Britain than tn the Butin or Latin
Araerlcan , countries.- -Detroit Free

SOUTH EBS MUTU AL AFFAIRS ARE
VENTILATE I) IN ATLANTA.
REPORT OF TEMPORARY RECEIVER.
Much of th«A**et.a of the AuMirlatlon Have
hhap^BPed-StockhoIdert Hot
After Trcldent Halo’* Scalp.
The storm cloud of the stockholders’
wrath burst over the heads of the offi¬
cers of the Southern Mutual Building
and Loan Association Thursday.
At 10 o’clock 400 stockholders of
the association met in the chamber of
commerce in Atlanta.
The stock represented by members
in person or by proxy was 8,775, that
represented by attorneys and non¬
members was 628, making a grand
total of 9,408 shares.
During the meeting sensation track¬
ed upon the heels of sensation in start¬
ling series.
Deep laid plans, financial plots that
ramified different affairs until the im¬
agination was bewildered, schemes of
the most mystifying nature were open¬
ed np by angered men.
It was like a fairy story in finance,
a page of highly colored fiction, in¬
stead a cold matter of fact affair of dol¬
lars and cents.
Transactions in Atlanta were dove¬
tailed with transactions in New York.
Local corporation were mutually de¬
pendent and connected in the most in¬
tricate manner. Throughout the whole
there was one hand, one controlling
influence. The stockholders wished
to know were W. 0. Hale, the presi¬
dent, was.
The crowd which assembled in the
chamber of commerce when the meet¬
ing was called to order was in no ami¬
able frame of mind. It was a pictur¬
esque gathering. There were men
from every part of the south. Many
had invested thousands of dollars in
the association. They wished to know
the truth of tho various transactions
which had caused them to loose most
of their earnings.
Judge Anderson, the temporary re¬
ceiver, was called to the stand. Haiti
he:
“There is $30,000 in different items
on deposit at the Htate Havings bank
and a little less than $100 in the Fourth
National.
“The loserve fund of $69,000,which
was intended for use in paying with¬
drawals and ought certainly to have
been on hand, cannot be found and re¬
mains unaccounted for." v
The question of accepting tho resig¬
nation of the directors and officers was
then discussed. They were finally
accepted with with the proviso that the
action of the convention would not re¬
lieve them from liability either civilly
nr criminally.
The reorganization planB were dis¬
cussed and acted upon.
The Receiver’s,Report.
The report of James A. Anderson,
the receiver,was presented as follows:
“Atlanta, Ga., February 25.—Mr.
A. O’Byrne, Chairman Committee of
Hhareholders of the Southern Mutual
Building and Loan Association—Dear
Kir: I baud you for tho information of
your committee as per request a full
list of shareholders of the association
and with the name and address of each
shareholder and the number of shares
held by each, excepting that we hnvo
not had time to have the list embrace
stock issued since December 1st,1895;
of this a summary is included and it is
expected a list of this in the same
form ftR the other will be ready by Hat
urday morning. You will notice that
there is a small amount of this stock.
1 give you also such information as I
have been enabled to get up concern¬
ing the affairs of tho association. A
trial balance from the books of the as¬
sociation got up by Mr. Weaver, the
bookkeeper, shows and the liabilities to be
$1,313,394.42 the credit item ex¬
actly balances the same.
“In making this balance the liabili¬
ties on account of capital stock are
placed at $1,105,831.17.
“On account of expense fund $16,-
409.88.
“On account of interest $16,408.66.
“It is proper to state that this rep¬
resents the capital stock, since etc., as it lias
stood on the books July 1, 1896.
At the same time all previous with¬
drawals, etc., had been deducted from
the capital stock.
“Another principal item in the lia¬
bilities is on account of unearned
premiums, which are placed at $121,-
749.99.
“That item also dates from July 1,
1896.
“The permanent participating stock
is placed at $18,725. Bills payable
$10,248.89.
“On the other side of the account 1
mention tho principal items.

“ It is proper to add of the several
items above, aggregating between
$94,000 and $95,000, which ought to
be in the hands of the late treasurer,
Mr. Farrar, and in the several banks,
practically none of it is now in sight
except the deposit in the State Savings
bank, wniehisnow in .:»« bauds of a
receiver, but it is now nrobably sol¬
vent so far as depositorB ure concerned.
“I give yon also the resnlt of the
examinations made by Professor B. F.
Moore,, expert accountant, employed
under the direction of the court, so far
as he has been able to examine:
“To cash loans on real estate from
August, 1839, to February 6, 1897,
$817,694,37. These loaus boro a pre¬
mium under tho contracts of $739,441.
“Aggregating loans and premiums,
$1,557,135.37.
“Less loans repaid as far as exam¬
ination, $699,669.37.
“Leaving a net balance on this ac¬
count of $867,466.
“This net balance is subject to de¬
ductions to whatever further payment
tha examiner may And. It is expected
that this statement will be completed
in time for its consideration by the
court. Professor Moore finds securi¬
ties as follows.
“In state treasury, face value, $331,-
492.86.
“In office value, $59,550.
“Add to this amount, reported to be
placed as follows:
“With Iowa Life Insurance Com¬
pany, $110,000.
“Bates-Farley Company, $30,000.
“With T. B. Felder, $15,000.
“Makes a total of securities on hand
and located from information, of $546,.
942.86.
“Leaving a balance of securities to
be accounted for of $310,973.14.
“The balance will be largely reduced
no doubt by further examination of
loans repaid, real estate purchases,
and bills receivable, and other accounts
whieh have not been examined. I
mention as a matter which may be of
interest to the shareholders’ conven¬
tion, that at the time of the appoint¬
ment of temporary receiver there were
applications for withdrawal pending
from 2,852 j shares of stock represent¬
ing withdrawal values under the rules
of the association amounting to $161,-
557.34, and a large number of these
had been pending for a considerable
time, and were exceedingly clamorous,
as the correspondence on file in the
office will show.
“It may also be of interest to the
shareholders to know that a large
amount of the stock of the association
is more than seven years old, and
should have matured according to the
original estimate of tho association.
The amount of this stock in Georgia
is $346,000 in round numbers. Just
how much of this has been paid off I
am unable to state; nor can I state at
present what the amount of this old
stock is for tho other states. Yours
very truly, J. A. Anderson,
“Temporary Receiver.”
Where I* Sir. Halef
W. 0. Hale was not in Atlanta at the
time of the meeting.
The stockholders called for him lust¬
ily. He was in immediate demand and
thero were charges of all kinds brought
against him during the day, but noth¬
ing was heard from him save a tele¬
gram in the hands of E. A. Richards,
which said that he was forced to stop
over in Baltimore and that he would
not reach Atlanta until Monday.
There are those who say that, crimi¬

deny that he is culpable aud state that
when he comes he will be able to ex¬
plain all charges which have boon

BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLI¬
CANS DENOUNCE THE LAW.
MR. MILLS SEEKS INFORMATION.
The President Asked to Furnish Facts
Regarding J>r. Knit’s Heath in
Spanish Prison.
The house late Tuesday afternoon
branched off unexpectedly into an in¬
teresting and possibly significant dis¬
cussion Of the civil service law. It
came about by the consideration of a
bill to amend tho revised statutes so
as to give the governors of territories
the powers to remove as well as to ap¬
point territorial officers. It was
participated in by a dozen mem¬
bers or more, nearly all of whom criti¬
cised and condemned the civil service
law, it finding its only defenders in
Representatives Brosius, republican,of
Pennsylvania, and Walker, of Massa¬
chusetts. Mr. Grosvenor, republican,
of Ohio, denounced the law as a “sin¬
uous, infamous conspiracy upon the
government,” and expressed the opin¬
ion that a tide was rising in this coun¬
try which would sweep bureaucracy
from power. Mr. Bailey, democrat,of
Texas,denounced the system as ahum
bug, and said the reason why the dem¬
ocratic, parly <lid not repeal the law
when it had the power was that it did
not have enough sense. The bill that
started the debate was passed. Most
of the day’s session was spent in con¬
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill.
In the senate Tuesday a resolution
was offered by Mills, democrat, of
Texas, and was agreed to, requesting
the president to furnish a statement of
the facts concerning 1 lie arrest, im¬
prisonment and death of Dr. Ricardo
Ruiz in a Cuban jail. The vice presi¬
dent laid before the senate a report
from the necretray of state as to the
persons claiming to be American citi¬
zens, who were captured on board the
Competitor,which was referred to the
committee on foreign relations. The
report contains nothing new, Secretary
Gluey stating that “practically all the
information called for by the resolu¬
tion” had been submit ted to the senate
January 22 last, ami that since that
date nothing had taken place of con¬
sequence, either in the way of infor¬
mation received or correspondence ex¬
changed. Practically the entire day
was consumed in a discussion of an
amendment to the Indian appropria¬
tion bill for the opening to settlement
of the TJnoompahgre Indian reserva¬
tion in Utah containing over two mil¬
lion acres.
The appearaneoof William Jennings
Bryan, the democratic candidate for
president last fall, upon the floor of
the house was the most noticeable
event of Wednesday's session. He has
the entree of the floor as an ox-member
and bis appearance evoked applause
from many members, a few of whom
gave vocal expression to their pleas¬
ure. From his old seat he responded
to the greetings of his friends and
acquaintances, his face beaming with
smiles. Nearly two hours of the ses¬
sion w ere spent in the discussion of a
resolution recommended by the com¬
mittee on accounts, authorizing the
preparation of a digest of election cases
decided in the fifty-third aud fifty
fourth congresses, to cost $2,500; and
to bo prepared by the clerks of the
committee on elections. It was finally
referred to the committee on printing.
A message was received from the pres¬
ident transmitting tho report of the
joint commission appointed under the
agreement of the United States and
Great Britain, in 1892, on tho fisher¬
ies of the waters contiguous to the
United States and Canada.
The senate began work at 11 o’clock
Wednesday the in order to push forward
(Dorn.), appropriation bills. Mr. Vilas
Wisconsin, secured the final
passage of the house bill amending tho
postal laws so as to provide indemity
up to $10 for the loss of registered
mail. Senator Allen, of Nebraska, in¬
troduced a resolution declaring it .lie
sense of the senate that effective
pteps should be taken to pro¬
tect the lives of Americans in
Cuba, and that United States battle¬
ships should be sent to Cuban waters.
The resolution went over. The
Indian bill was then taken up.
NOTES.
The postofficaappropriation bill con¬
taining the southern fast mail item,
was reported to the senate Wednesday
afternoon.
The Perrine grant in Dade county,
Fla., which is being investigated by
the senate committee on public lands,
comprises 23,000 acres, and was made
in 1841 to Dr. Perrine, who is tho
stepfather of Mrs. Cleveland.
The Alaskan boundary treaty which
was signed by Secretary Olney and Sir
Julian Pauneefote January 30th last
was laid before the senate Tuesday
afternoon iu executive session. With¬
out being read it was referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
The house committee on banking
aud currency by a vote of 7 to 5, or¬
dered favorably reported the bill in¬
troduced by Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, au¬
thorizing the establishment of an in¬
ternational bank. A minority report
will be presented.
The president has issued a procla¬
mation in the usual form calling a
session of the senate at noon on the
4th of March to receive communica¬
tions from the executive. This is the
usual senate extra session to consider
nominations to important offices.
X’KINLEY STILL SICK.
No Visitors Are Being Received By the
President-Elect.
A special of Tuesday from Canton
says: The instructions of the attending
physician at the McKinley residence,
that no one shall see the president¬
elect except members of liis household
and those who come on special invita¬
tion, are being strictly adhered to.
The physician slib maintains that there
is nothing apprehensive of Major Mc¬

What Its Neglect Leads to. Mrs. ChaS.
King’s Experience.
A woman’s body is the repository of that
most delicate mechanism in the whole)
realm of creation, and yet most women
will let it get out of order and keep out ot
order, just as if it were of no consequence.
Their back3 ache and heads throb and
burn; they have wandering pains, now here and
now there. They experience extreme lassitude,
that don’t-care and want-to-be-left-alone feeling,
excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleepless¬
/ ness and the blues, yet they will go about their
work until they can scarcely stand on their poor
swollen feet, and do nothing to help themselves.
These are the positive fore-runners of serious womb complications, and unlesa
given Immediate attention will result in untold misery, if not death. ,
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will, beyond the question of ft.
doubt, relieve all this trouble before it becomes serious, and it has cured,
many after their troubles had become chronic.
The Compound should be taken immediately upon the appearance of any of
these symptoms above enumerated. It is a vegetable tonic which invigorates
and stimulates the entire female organism, and will produce the same bene¬
ficial results in the case of any sick woman as it did with Mas. Chas. Kino, 1815
Rosewood St., Philadelphia, Pa., whose letter we attach:
“ I write these few lines, thanking you for restoring my health. For twelve
years I suffered with pains impossible to describe. I had bearing-down feelings,
backache, burning sensation in my stomach, chills, headache, and always had
black specks before my eyes. I was afraid to stay alone, for I sometimes had
four and five fainting spells a day. I had several doctors and tried many pat¬
ent medicines. Two years ago I was so bad that I had to go to bed and have a
trained nurse. Through her, I commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and I never had anything give me the relief that it has.
I hare taken eight bottles, and am now enjoying the best of health again. I
can truthfully say it has cured me.”

HOW THE "CHINOOK" COMES.
Even the Cattle Recognize the First Breith
of the Benign Wind.
Picture to yourself a wild waste of
snow, wind-beaten and blizzard fur¬
rowed until the vast expanse resembles
a billowy white sea. The frigid air,
blowing half a gale, is filled with
needle-like snow and ice crystals which
sting the flesh like the bites of poison¬
ous insects, and sift through the finest
crevices. The sun, low down in the
southern horizon, looks like a frozen
glote, w.th halves, crescents, and bright
prismatic bars encircling it.
Great herds of range cattle, which
roam at.will and thrive on the nu¬
tritious grasses indigenous to the north¬
ern slope, wander aimlessly here and
there, or more frequently drift with the
wind in vain attempts to find food and
shelter; moaning in distress from cold
and hunger, their noses hung with
bloody icicles, their legs galled and
bleeding from breaking the hard snow
crust as they travel—they appeal to the
hardest heart for pity. It is sure death
for human beings to be caught out in
one of these awful blizzards, with the
temperature down to 30 or 50 degrees
below zero, unless rescue is speedy.
Yet, zuch conditions frequently exist
in this latitude, as they did for fifteen
days in November, 1896, when it seemed
as if the elements had conspired to
bring about another ice age, and anni¬
hilate every living thing.
Would the ‘‘chinook” never come?
The wind veeied and backed, now howl,
ing as if in derision, and anon becom¬
ing calm as if in contemplation of the
desolation on the face of nature, while
the poor dumb animals continued their
ceaseless tramp, crying with pain and
starvation. At last, on December 1, at
about the hour of sunset, there was a
change which experienced plainsmen
interpreted as favorable to the coming
of tho warm southwest wind. At sun
Eet the temperature was only —13 de¬
grees, the air scarcely in motion, but
occasionally seeming to descend from
overhead. Over the mountains in the
southwest a great bank of black clouds
hung, dark and awesome, whoso wide
expanse was unbroken by line or break;
only at the upper edge the curler} and
serrated cloud, blown into tatters by
the wind, was seen to be the advance
courier of the long-prayed for “Chi¬
nook.” How eagerly we watched its ap¬
proach! How we strained our hearing
for the first welcome sight of the gentle
breath! But it was not until 11.35 P.
M. that the first influence was felt.
First, a puff of heat, summer-like in
comparison with what had existed for
two weeks, and we run to our instru¬
ment shelter to observe the tempera¬
ture. Up goes the mercury, 34 degrees
in seven minutes. Now the wind has
come with a twenty-flve-mile velocity.
Now the cattle stop travelling, and with
muzzles turned towards the wind low
with satisfaction. Weary with two
weeks' standing on their feet they lie
down in the snow, for they know that
their salvation has come; that now
their bodies will not freeze to the
ground.
Tho wind increases in strength and
warmth; it blows now in one steady
roar; the temperature has risen to 38
degrees, the great expanse of snow, 30
inches deep on a level, is becoming
damp and honeycombed by tho hot
wind, and we retiro satisfied that the
“chinook” Is a genuine and lasting one.
Twelve hours afterwards there aro
bare brown bills everywhere; the plains
are covered with floods of water. In a
few days the wind will evaporate th«
moisture, and the roads wii! be dry
and hard. Were it not for the “chi
nook” winds the northern slope coun¬
try would not be habitable, nor could
domestic animals survive the winters.

School Gardens in Europe.
While almost every imaginable
branch of education is being supplied
to the young In this country, the teach¬
ing of horticulture has been remark¬
ably overlooked. In thtB respect Rus¬
sia," which is not generally regarded In edu¬
as a very far advanced country
cational matters, can give points to the
United States.
School gardens, or small model farms,
arc rapidly becoming a feature of the
primary schools of Russian villages. A
report for the southern province of
Ekaterinoslav states that 227 out of 504
schools in the province already have
small model kitchens, orchards, tree
plantations, or farms, averaging a lit¬
tle more than an acre in size, at which
gardening, tree culture and silkworm
culture are done by the schoolmasters,
who receive special Instructions at
summer schools from local specialists.
This province being nearly treeless,
much attention is given to tree culture,
silkworms ranking next in importance,
and beekeeping and vineyards being
studied at some of the schools. In
Central Russia the culture of cereals
takes first place at the school farms,
while in Caucasia the greatest Interest
is felt in ^ilkworm culture and vine
culture.
Valuable Swords.
The most valuable sword in exist¬
ence is said to be that owned by the
Gaekwar of Baroda. Its hilt and belt
aro set with diamonds, rubies and em¬
eralds, and it is valued at $1,100,000.
The Shah of Persia tins a sword valued
at $50,000. which his father wore on his
first visit to Europe. The most valua¬
ble sword in Englaud is that which was
presented to Lord Wolseley by the
Egyptians. It Is valued at $10,000.
Interesting.
“Why are yon staring at me like
that?” irritably asked the young lord
of the money lender.
“Because yon are an object of inter¬
est to me, my lord,’’replied the money
lender.—Fun._____
