child aud no questions a^ked. The child
was returned unhurt by a man carefully

VERY FAVORABLE
Is the Report of Easiness for the
Past Week.
Business failures oocutring throughout
the country daring last week as reported
to R. G. Dunn & t o. number, for the
Unit' d States, 227; Canada, 50; total,
295; against 285 last week. The week
broken by a holiday, has shown the
usual characteristics— weak speculation,
active retail trade and moderate whole¬
sale business. But the great factors
which go to make national prosperity are
unaltered. Money is in ample supply,
with no sign of loss. The industries are
fairly employed with some improvement.
wonderful Crops are moving with freedom and in
quantities, and exports are
remarkably heavy.
Even the approaching session of con¬
gress it is gives rise to little apprehension, will as
felt that the opposin' parties
have to act cautiously in view of the
coming general eleotion. There are signs
that the distribution of products to con¬
sumers is improving.
SOUTHERN TRADE HEALTHY.
Southern cities report better: Savan¬
nah alone reports present trade liyht, and
money no easier, but prospects bright.
Speculation during the past week has not
been active, but the corner at Chicago
has put up corn for immediate delivery
six points, and pork is 25 cents higher.
Oats 1 1-8 and wheat 5-8 cents per bushel,
while corn and sugar are heavy. Receipts
of cotton exeeed those of the same week
last year by 50,00t) bales, and exports by
92,COO bales, but stocks in this country
are 521,000 bales larger. In the great
industries the outlook is improved.
There is a better demand for iron, and
sales of pig are met with astonishing
steadiness in prices, considering the
enormous offered output. Some Virginia iron is
very low, and $16 at Providence
for No. 1 is quoted.
MONEY IS EASY.
Money is comparatively easy, nnd col¬
lections generally fair. The treasury
has taken in but $500,000 more than it
has disbursed, against an issue of $800,
000 new treasury notes. Exports of
products in four weeks at New York
have exceeded last year by $8,461,482 in
value, indicating an aggregate for the
month probably exceeding $95,000,000,
and at the same time there is a decrease
of 10 per cent in the value of imports.
There is certain to be a very large balance
probable on the merchandise account by
Europe, and much anxiety appears in
some quarters as to how the strain abroad
would be met, but thus far there are no
tive signs of real trouble except in specula¬
quarters.___
THE EDITOR ARRESTED
For Raising Funds to Pay the Arch¬
bishop’s Fine.
A cablegram of Friday from Paris,
says: When the archbishop of Aix was
convicted of insulting M. Falliers,^min¬
ister of justice and public worship,
and fined 3,000 francs, the newspaper
Figaro decided that it would opeu a pub¬
lic subscription to raise the amount ne
necessary to pay the fine. It printed an
appeal to the public, and finally announc¬
ed that enough money had been sub¬
scribed to meet the object in view. The
government, however, did not approve
this sciion on the part of the Figaro,
holding that it was in violation of the
press law which forbids the opening of
subscriptions to pay legal costs. Cita¬
tion was, therefore, served upon the edi¬
tor, and he will be prosecuted.
The archbishop of Annecy has written
a letter similar to that which caused the
prosecution of the archbishop of Aix. It
is expected the government will take no¬
tice of the letter and cause its author to
be prosec uted.

RYAN BACK IN JAIL.
Because He Failed to Turn Over
$121,000 to the Receiver.
At Atlanta, Saturday, the supreme
court decided the Ryan case by affirming
the judgment of the superior court, which
required receiver that Steve Ryan Mr, turn Ryan over de¬ to
the $121,000.
clared that he did not have the money,
therefore could not pay it. He was sent
back to jail Saturday night, where, ac¬
cording to the order of the court, he will
remain until the money is paid.
SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
Germany leads in paper-mills.
Coffee mills are run by electricity.
Instantaneous photographs show lip
movements.
The experiment is about to bo tried
in Chicago of running double-decked
street cars.
A street railway system, to be operated
by compressed air, is to be inaugurated
in Leavenworth, Kan. The' power will
also be applied to factories.
The phonograph has been applied to
the telephone, so that any conversation
coming over the wires during the day
may be readily reproduced.
Phosphorus is now being made by
decomposing a mixture of acid phos¬
phates and carbon by the heat of an
electric arc within the mass.
The latest innovation in car decora¬
tion is a new material called “sili
chrome.” It can be used also for depot
or other interior decoration.
On the eastern frontier of the “Dark
Continent” coal is so plentiful that by
lifting a shovelful of clay off any particu¬
lar spot it may be reached. But there
is no means of transporting it to market.
The range of naval guns is roughly one
mile for every inch of calibre foi guns
less than ten inches, but last year a 9.2
inch breech-loading rifle attained a
range of twelve miles. The pneumatic
gun has fired a dummy shell two miles
and a half.
It is said that the local steam trains
between St. Paul and Minneapolis have
all been taken off, being unable to com¬
pete with the electric road, which is
running trips every eight minutes, and
is expected soon to change to five minute
schedule.
About twice as much energy is re¬
quired to stop a moving object as to
start it. In order to relieve its horses of
a great deal of work, the London Gen¬
eral Omnibus Company has adopted an
ingenious device by which springs are
wound up when the omnibus stops. The
amount of energy which is thus scored up
in the springs is utilized for starting the
vehicle again.
A smokeless powder has been prepared
at the Newport (R. I.) Torpedo Station
which is credited with having given a
rifle bullet the astounding velocity of
2860 feet per second. Moreover, it is
stated that at a distance of 500 yards the
report of the gun was not heard nor was
any smoke visible. Gun cotton pulp is
reported to be the base of the powder,
but the other ingredients and their ma¬
nipulation are a Government secret.
A lake has a wonderfully tempering
effect on the climate. Thus, according
to M. Forel, the quantity of heat accu¬
mulated in the Lake of Geneva, Switzer¬
land, during the summer of 18S9 was
equal to that given off by the combustion
of 31,000,000 tons of coal, or the amount
carried by a coal train 1120 miles in
length. The greater part of the heat is
discharged iuto the air of the valley dur¬
ing the cold season, thus producing a
milder temperature in autumn and win
ter.
Dr. Brown-Sequard in one of his lec¬
tures dwells with great emphasis on the
importance of general kno wledge in the
matter of checking coughing and sneez¬
ing. He states that coughing can be
stopped by pressing the nerves of the
lips in the neighborhood of the nose,
and sneezing may be stopped the same
way. Pressing in the neighborhood of
the ear, or right in fTbnt of the ear, may
stop coughing. It is so also of hiccough¬
ing, but much less so than for sneezing
or coughing. Pressing very hard on the
roof of the mouth is also a means of ar¬
resting a cough, and the will Itself is
often found to be a wonderful preventive.
What Becomes of All Old Hats J
What becomes of all old hats ? “ Wt
have about 200 old hats strewed alons
under the counters and in the bacii
room,” said a South Clark street hatter.
“From ten to twenty-five tramps coint
in daily and ask for a hat, yet our
refuse supply seems undiminished. The
tramps are glad to see cool or rainy
weather at this time of the year. They
know that it will drive in the straw bats,
and they will fall heir to them. Aftei
these straw hats have done service all
summer the tramps wear them all winter.
For a summer hat the tramp gets the
cast-off winter hat. He reserves the
fashion. A. great majority, however,
take their old hats home and lay them
up for a rainy or a snowy day. Some
people will wear a straw hat two sea¬
sons, but tho great majority give them
to the poor. We send a large number
to the charitable institutions. A great
many hats are left to be called for. If
dot cVtled for within thirty days we give
them away. Sometimes sharpers attempt
their little games ou us. A small man
left his hat here, buying a cut-off crown
hat. The one he left was out of shape,
had lost its gloss and color, and was
worthless. He did not say that he would
return for it, nor did he say that he
would not. We put it aside, but when
he called for it we could not find it at
the moment. He then claimed that it
was a good hat and demanded $5 for it.
We made a thorough search, found the
battered tile and handed it to him.
Seeing that his scheme had failed he
threw the old hat into the street.”—
Chicago Times.

The Worlds Largest Orchard.
n the wild district between Hana and
Haiku, during" July and August, the mosi
beautiful and largest apple orchards in
the world can be seen The Wilderness
of Koolan, as the district is called, con¬
tains a forest of native wild apple trees,
countless in number, stretching from the
sea far up the mountain sides. The trees
vary nnd from forty to fifty feet in height,
in the harvest season, from July to
September, are loaded down with fruit,
some standing white, but mostly red. A person
in the midst of the orchard can
look around him for miles, up the moun¬
tains nnd toward the road, and the only
thing in view will be one vast grove of
apple trees literally red wi h ripe and
ripening bending fruit, the branches of the trees
to the ground with the bounte¬
ous harvt st.
The crop of this extensive apple or¬
chard which nature planted in the soli¬
tary waste would fill a fleet of 100
steamers. The orchard stretches over a
country from five to ten miles wide by
twenty miles long, and many of the
larger trees bear at least fifty barrels
apiece. The fruit is delicious for table
use, and will appease both thirst and
hunger, but as yet no one has taken the
trouble to make any commercial use of
the apples. When rine they wi 1 not
keep more than a week, but they make
excellent jelly and jam, and simply for
the l ick of a little American enterprise
millions of barrels of apples arc per¬
mitted annually to fall to the ground
and rot.—Honolulu Cor. Chicago Trib

She Didn’t Mean It.
A girl who was accustomed to conclude
all her stories with the words, “Wasn’t it
funny?” was telling her mother of the
sorrow which had come to a school friend
“Just think,” she began, “I asked
Annie Platt this morning if she knew
why Marv Wallis, that pretty girl fror
Iowa, wore black, aud she said that Mary
was out in a sailboat with her mother
and two brothers last summer, and a
squall came up, and the boat capsized,
and they were ad drowned except Mary.
Wasn’t it funny?”
“I shouldn’t consider it a subject of
mirth,” said her mother dryly, and then
the girl, who was really full of sympathy
for her new friend, realized what she had
said.—Youth’s Companion.

Boutton—“So you are not going
housekeeping when you get married?”
De Boarder—“No. We shall

“Isn’t that rather an extravagant

“Not at all. I desire my wife to
economy housekeeping, of my landlady. Then we
start and I will make
an allowance of as much a week as
paid for board.”
“What do you think will be the

“Well, by the time we are old

Bar-Tender—“Twenty-five cents

know.”
“I don’t wan’t er that way. I want
pay a quarter fer the lunch and git
beer free. See?”
“It’s all one either way. What
ence does it make!”
“It’s a matter of personal honor, sir.

Commendable.
All claims not consistent with tho high
character of Syrup of Figs are purposely
avoided by the Cal- Fig Syrup Company. It
acts gently on the kidneys, liver and bowels,
cleansing the system effectually, but It is not
a cure-all and makes no pretensions that
every bottle will not substantiate.
There has been a steady rise in tho average
