English capitalists are interested in Mexican railings to the extent of $40, 000,000. S———————————— The boeming of new manufacturing towns in the South continues, announces the Chicago Sun. A New York scientist advocates drowning as the most humaeae form of capital pumishment to which criminals can be subjected. Goodall's Sun states that the Southern furnaces make twenty tons of pig-iron | out of every hundred msde, and the Northern furnaces, eighty. There are more than eighty National | Cemeteries in America containing in all | 185,140 are | 815,555 graves. Of these the graves of unknown soldiers. It is reported that the Russian Govern | ment intends to buy all the Polish rail ways and transform them inte state rail ways on account of their strategicdl im- portance. After a careful investigation the New York Sun estimates that there are in that city 40,000 werkingwomen recdiving wages so low that they must embrace vice, apply for charity, or starve. Numerous changes are being made in manufacturing plants all through the country, with a view of enlarging capec- ity. ‘‘This certainly indicates a healthy «sondition of trade,” thinks the Philadel phia Press. Says the New York Observer: ‘It is af least a little strange that while so many thousands of hymns have been written in England and in America siace the long metre doxology was compesed, nothing has ever taken its place.” KE is remarkable, observes the San Francisco Chronicle, that the production of pig iron goes on increasing in this country, although the demand for steel | rails has fallen off enormously as com- pared with such years as 1886 1887. and European manufacturers are compar- ing notes upon the heavy taxation to which they are subject, on account of military and attendant expenditures. Several manufacturers estimate that their taxes amount to ten per cent it of their net income, Within a short distance of the New York Postoflice people.
