The unfortunate error which a mer
cantile agency's local representative made
in telephoning the failure of the City
Savings Back, of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
instead of the Penny Savings Hank, de
funct with small liabilities, caused a run

will make arrangements for handling
the fruit. To this end they invite com

Sami'ki. ISlatciieokh Associate Justice
of the United States Supreme court has
lieen stricken with paralysis at his cot
tage on Grcenouth place, 11. I. It is
thought he cannot recover, and his
family have liee-n told to pre tare for the
worst. It is understood from reliable
authority that he had three light shocks
in Washington U-fore leaving, and when
he arrived last week it was noticed that
he was feeble and that he gave evidence
of having suffered from paralytic shocks.
It is thought that he can live but a few
weeks. No one is allowed to see him.
It is now nearly a week since the so
cial force of 120 examiners was set at
work by Commissioners of Pensions
Lochren overhauling the paers in all
cases of ensions granted under the Dis
ability act of 1S1H). There have la-en
more than HKH) cases revised, and it is
declared that at least '2 jier cent of the
pensioners who have lieen benefitted by
Order No. ltit will lie dropjied from the
rolls. The figures thus far secured war
rant the statement that the pensions of
loO.lKK) jersous, granted under this in
terpretation of the (tension law, will
either te stop(ed or reduced. .
A si ei iai. from the City of Mexico
says the tow n of L'termatlan has been
visited by a terrible watersjiout, which
resulted in loss of life and great damage.
The waters(out burst unexjxHietlly over
the town at midnight. It a few minutes
the Hood had covered the entire town,
the water rising to the height of four
feet inside the houses. The (eople were
panie stricken, and in attempting to es
cape from the Hood many meti, women,
and children were drowned. A great
many families were made homeless, and
the city council of the place has issued
an apcal asking other tow ns to come to
their relief.
Chief Ji sth e Fi i.i.ek and Associate
Justices I.nrns and Allen, constituting
the I'nitcd States Court of Appeals, at
Chicago on Saturday dec ided that the
World's Fair could le 0(ened on Sun
days. They revoked the injunction
closing the gates on the Sabbath, by a
unanimous dec ision, holding that the
I'nited States Government had :io right
to interefere in the matter. The Fair
will now be onn every Sunday. The
Anti-ojK'ners can do nothing more than
apeal to the I'nited States Supreme
Court, and as that Imely Joes not con

The trial of Lizzie liorden at New
Bedford Mass., for the murder of her
fathe r and stepmother, at their home in
Fall River, best August, came to an end
on Tuesday by a verdict of acquittal.
Thus ends one of the most notable mur
der trials that ever took place in this
country. The murders were committed
in broad daylight, in a house in a town
where (.eople were liable to I passing at
any time and notwithstanding Lizzie
was sus(iected by the jioliee from the
fust, all etforts onjtheir part to fasten the
crime upon her have been futile and the
inurderj remains enve!eel in mystery.
When the verdict was rendered a cheer
went up from the vast throng of ftiec-U-tors
and tins woman thus declared iuno
eut of the terrible crime, fainted.
Is order to act tinderstandingly with
reference to any matter, says the Phila
delphia JlrcorJ, it is necessary to know
something about it. Although the sil
ver oneslion is now one of the upper
most topics of discussion in all parts of
the country, it is painful to til-serve bow
ni any writers and speakers letray their
ignorance of facts. Secretary Carlisle, w ho
is a master of the art of lucid statement,
in his little silver brief on the operation
of the Sherman law, iias managed to
present an array of figures which make
their own argument. The loss to the
government on the purchased bullion
now stored in its vaults by reason of de
preciation in value is f 1,SSS,5:)0. The
silver certificates issued in payment for
this bullion, though they are worth
$10,S8S,":30 less than their face value,
have nearly all lieen presented at the
sub treasuries and redeemed in gold, the
gold having been sent out of the country
in payment of balances due to foreign
ers. Is it any wonder that this sort of
tinancering has earned for us distrust at
home and abroad? "How long the gov
ernment shall thus be eeimtH-lleeJ to pur
chase silver bullion and increase the pub
lie debt by issuing coin obligations for
it is a question," as Secretary Carlisle
sententioiisly olserves, -'which Congress
alone can answer." The unfortunate
condition which paralyzes biiMnessin all
parts of the country ought to be full of
instruction for Congress.
Acvokmncj to "Iradstreets," ship
ments of wheat, including Hour, irom
both coasts of the I 'nited States last week
amounted to H.KM.OOO bushels a quan
tity that has leen exceeded only in two
previous weeks since the close of last
year. Similar exports tor the whole of
May were only l,tKH),IHiO bushels less
than for the corres(ondiiig mouth last
year; and the weekly totals this month
have leen running ahead of those of
last season. Cotton exiieirLs in May-
were larger by G,oVJ,t4,. (lounds in
amount and $-tS", lt'i4 in value than
were the shipments in May, IS'.i-j; und so
far this month over 11,000 bales more
cotton have gone abroad than in the
corresponding (riod last year. Corn
exjHirts are all enlarging, as a result of a
deficiency of feeding croj in Kuro(ie
This tendency to improvement in the
export trade may le relied uiion to bring
about an early reversal of the merchan
dise balances, which for several months
past have been so heavily in favor of the
Old World.
Senator Qcay, discussing the hnsi
ness situation, says " the (x-ople are dis
trustful and they don't know why," and
to this he attributes whatever alarm ex
ists in the business and industrial in
terests of the country at the present mo
ment. He believes that an extra session
of Congress will bring the only sure re
lief and establish confidence in the minds
of the jieople. He endorses President
Cleveland's views as resjiects the duty of
the jieople in the niatterof strengthening
the government in the present situation
saying: "I think Mr. Cleveland ex
presses the think very clearly when he
says that the (eople should have conli
deuce in the government and their
country. The lack of confidence is pro
ductive of much in the way of trouble.
It really invites danger. Mr. Cleveland
says that coolness and calmness in fin
ancial circles and study and reflection
among the e or.le are essentials. He is
right, there"
President Ci.kvki.am has agreed to
act as arbitrator between ISrazil and the
Argentine Confederation for the settle
ment of a disputed laiundry involving
the (kosscssion of theprovince of Parana.
In thinkingof this course, the twoSouth
American republic-6 have set an example
which would lie of inestimable advan
tage if it should be imitated by all the
other goverments on the American con
tinents. The hot blooded jieople of
Sittth and Central America have sjent
one half their time and treasure since
their emancipation from Kuro(iean con
trol in unnecessary mutual warfares.
Arbitration has the advantage of sub
stituting fair play foi main strength in
Settling disputes, insuring justice to the
weaker party. Ilesidcs, it is humane,
economical and involves no sacralice of
prestige or honor.
Pkoi-essor Sc haekkek, the new state
superintendent of public intruction,
says that of the 25, '.. teac hers in the
public schools of Pennsylvania only l'.C
are colle ge graduates. More than one
half of the 25,H'.i'' never attended an
academy, a s-iiiinary or a normal
school. Professor Sc haeffe r thinks the
state ought to utilize university exten
sion for the improvement of these teach
ers. No doubt it would be better if more
money were spent on education in Penn
sylvania. The cheapness of the summer
schools under the Chautauqua system
will come easily within the means of the
teachers and the programme, consisting
of authoritative lectures by leading pro
fessors connec ted with the great univer
sities of the country, offers a lilieral edu
cation. The New York JltntU says: A
shrinkage of two hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars in value of the wheat aud
corn crojis of a single year at present
prices, as compared with those current
twelve months ago, is a matter that
comes home to every farmer, and in the
light of current events it must lie very
ditncult for any silver sophist to conceal
the obvious fact that this depreciation is
due to the disturbance of the currency,
the apprehension, distrust and contrac
tion of credits caused by the Sherman
law.
President Cleveland is not well, and
while not what can lie called seriously
sick, he is still in a condition which only
rest can relieve, and which demands pio
tec tion from the intrusion of ofLce seek
ers. No his immediate aociatas in the
White House say.
Washington Letter.
Washington. 1. C, June 17, 1S03.
President Cleveland is deeply interested
in the efforts that are tieing made to as
certain if the carelessness of any person
was responsible for the horrible tragedy
in Font's old theatre, which killed 21
and injured sixty-odd clerks in the
Keeords and Pensions otlice of the v ur
Department, although he has wisely re
frained from taking any action that
might lie considered as interfering with
the properly constituted authorities now-
engaged in that task. Great pressure is
lieing brought toln-aron him to suspend
or remove Col. Aansworth, the army of
ficer who is at the head of that !liee,
and U(Nn whom a great many people!
are dit-tvseel to place the blame, but Mr.
Cleveland's idea of fair (.lay is such that
it is not probable; that he w ill take any
action until there is more tangible evi-
lence of Col. Ainsworth's guilt than I
public; clamor for making him a f-e-.-ipe-
goat. If he lie guilty surely that lad
can hardly esc ajie the coroner's jury now
investigating and the army e-onit ot in
quiry which will take the matter up at
the close of the inquest.
The improvement in the financ ial sit
uation has been very marked during the
last few days, and treasury ollicials and
others who keep close watch on financial
affairs believe that the turn has come in
the llow of gold abroad and that the; sit
uation will continue to improve. It is
certain that the gold in the treasury is
again increasing at a gratifying rate and
that there is at present no demand for
gold for shipment abroad. Secre-tary
Morton expresses the opinion that fmm
now on our cereals will lake the (.lace- of
the gold which we have la-cm shipping to
Kurojie, and the fact that the large'
amount of gold which the- Koth.schilds
eontracte-d to furnish Austria has all la-en
delivered is also thought t have la-e-n a
factor in causing a cessation in the Ku-roja-an
demand for gold.
The Government has lost in actual
cash, acceirding to Sce-retrry Carlisle-'s
figures, in carrying out the provisions of
the Sherman silver law, nearly 11,000,
OOO, representing the difference la-lween
the amount paid for the silver now
Stored in the treasury vaults and its pre-s-ent
seH-ng price. It it re ally had to la
Sold at once the loss would probably le
much greater tacausc of the further le
preciatioti in price that would follow
throwing such a large quantity of silver
cm the market.
Among the consular apjiointments
made this wee-k was that of IScnniiigloii
K. Ile-elli", of New Jersey, to he Consul at
Sbe-llield, Kngland, in place of IJenja
niin Folsom, resigned. Mr. Folsom,
who has held the laisitieni since his ap-
(aiintment early in the first Cleveland
administration, is a cousin of Mrs. Cleve
land's and as "Coiimii lien," he figured
in all the; Republican papers as pna.f
that l'reside-nt Clevelaml was not in e-arn-est
when he declared himself opa.sed to
nepotism. Wonder what those- same'
fellows will say now that Mr. Folsom
has voluntarily re-signed? The chances
are that they will ignore it entire ly ami
say nothing.
Secretary Carlisle has. in erne respe-ct,
a long lead of all the e.the-r heads e.f el.--parthients.
Since taking charge of the
treasury he has re-placed nie.re than 200
Republican ollicials, oulsieli' the classili-i
service!, with good ( e-nieH-rats.
Democratic Ceingnsiii( ii, afte-ra hard

Oliver Invented and Gave to the
World the Chilled Plow.
vstsmm OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
MADE ONLY BY THE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows on
the face of the globe.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade
on the good name of the Oliver.
Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
IfcOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Wcikks,
South Bend, Indiana.
