Liberal Partj- Still in. tue Ranks of the Unionists. BOMB OFFICES- WITH BIG SAHABIES The composition of Mr. Gladstone's) fourth Cabinet ls-practically settled; indeed,. it ha&never been in doubt since tbe verdict. of the British electors was- recorded, be-) ran se the nevr Premier has such, very little choice in his selections. Ifot the least un- fortunate feature of the split in the Lib eral ranks; is the fact that the little body oft malcontents contains some of the ablest debaters and legislators the party possesses AntfthiH is really whvit is that the-Liberal Unionists are still " a-power in politics, al-J though tiic recent general election and thej bye elections of the last fire years have re- duced their strength in the Commons by nearly 50 per cent Bat among the faithfol or unfaithful, few that remain are some of the men who have done veoman service under Gladstone during tiro administrations, but whoe. party disloyalty preventsbeing again called upon to aid him in hi great work. Proml-) nent among these is Joseph Chamberlain,: President of the Board of Trade, and. of the I local board, in two ministries, and twice at member of a Gladstone Cabinet. Mr. Chamberlain's place can not well be filled, for as a debater he has few superiors, while as an agitator and lobbyist he has scarcely an equal. He claims to be as. earnest a rad iealand republican as ever, and is credited with the hope that, the home rule question settled, be will be able to serve again in the united Liberal Cabinet Position of tUr King of Btrmlncham. Bat however this may be, the services of the "King ot Birmingham" are not availa ble at this juncture, and the same must be said regarding Sir Henry James, who served as Attorney General in the two long Glad stone administrations, his total service as chief law adviser of the Ministry extend ing over ten years. Few lawyers have held this position so long, the office carrying with it tbe right of first refusal of the Lord Chancellorship. It so happened that no Lord Chancellor made way for Sir Henry until 18S6. when he declined to accept the office with its 550,000 a year and life pen sion, because of his conscientious objections to home rule. Sir Henry is an able lawyer, and was the framer ot the corrupt practices act, believed to be the most stringent elec tion regulating measure ever passed by a legislative assembly. Another conspicuous Liberal who has served through two ot Gladstone's ministries, and who in 1874 succeeded that statesman as leader of the Liberal party in the Commons, will be a vigorous opponent, instead of a member ot the new Cabinet. This is the Duke of Devonshire, better known to "the world as tbe Marquis of Hart ington, unler which title he sat as a Commoner for a large number of years. The Duke is a forcible, although heavy speaker, and he represents the rapidly dying out Whig element in England. He made an ex cellent Secretary for India, and was still more successful at the head of the War Office, but he is not likely to ever serve again in an exclusively Liberal Cabinet, though he is generally looked upon as tbe best available Premier for the coalition Ministry which may be formed in the event of home rule being defeated by the present Parliament A Statesman Out of n Job. Another Liberal of marked ability, but more than doubtful sincerity, will be con spicuous by his absence from the new Cabi net This is Mr. Goschen, one of the ablest bankers and financiers in Europe. He de clined to join the Gladstone Cabinet of 1880, because he objected to the plank of the party which promised the extension of the suffrage to the counties. But during the life qf the administration he gave it very loyal support and al though he spoke against the reform bill, he did not vote against it, and it was not until tbe home role difficulty arose that he be came an actual secessionist Since 1886 he has associated generally with the Torie, and has been Salisbury's Chancellor of the Exchequer for over four years. Xow, how ever, he finds himself out of a job and in a rather unpleasant position. His old allies, the Liberals, despise him, while his more recently formed friends, having made use ot him'for their own ends, are now prepared to let him go. Thus a statesman and a scholar takes a back seat and is likely to be lost sight of altogether. The ranks of the Cabinet possibilities have been further thinned by .death, Earl Granville, the faithful Gladstonean leader in the Lords, and the painstaking it not very brilliant Foreign Secretary during two administrations, having died" while in opposition. His place at the head of thj Foreign Office and the Ministerial party in the Lords is to be filled by a peer of an en tirely different type, Lord Boseberry, who was Foreign Secretary lor a few months in 1886, having been again "slated" for the po sition. Boseberry is a Radical peer with tew aristocratic tendencies. He is in the prime of life, but is a mere boy by tbe side of Gladstone, or even of Salisbury, himself a voting man as British politicians go, while his clean-shaved face and genial smile make him look many years younger than the Registrar ot Binhs and the Boseberry family Bible nnite in describing him. By his marriage into the ltothschild family he has acquired great wealth, and his great hobby up to within the last few years has been the breeding of race horses. 'His home is within half a mile of the Epsom race coarse, and while the Derby if run his es tablishment is crowded with guests. As a politician he has only developed of recent years, but he is a good debater and of a temperament not calculated to submit to diplomatic sneers or insults. Tbe Hew Chancellor of the Exchequer. Passing from the leadership of the Lords to that ot the Commons, it is settled that Mr. Gladstone is to have as lieutenant Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who will lead the House on all save occasions of vital im portance. Sir William will be Chancellor of the Exchequer, not because he is in any sense of the word a master of finance, but because the office carries with it first official precedence, and Sir1 William is the acknowledged leader next to the Grand Old Man himself. The Chancellor ot the Ex chequer has almost always led the Commons when the Premier 1 has been a peer, and Salisbury com menced his 1886 administration with Lord Bandolph Churchill, both Chancellor and leader. On Churchill's resignation he was succeeded as Chancellor by Mr. Goschen, Mr. W. H. Smith taking the sine cure office of First Lord of the Treasury and leading the party. This departure from precedent was rendered necessary by Goshen's difference of opinion with his col leagues on many points, for, although his ability as a financier and his "pull"-witn, the Liberal-Unionists made his presence in the Cabinet almost a necessity, it was not to be expected that loyaT Conservatives would follow-a-mugwump leaden. The anomalv tnu created will cease to exist as soon as the Salisbury Ministry re signs and. Harcourt will be Chancellor with the actual leadership reversion at tached to it Harcourt owes his position rather to the defection of the Liberal states men already alluded to than to his own merits. He is heavy 1b- appearance and build, and pompous and dictatorial in manner. He is the only available successor to Mr. Gladstone, and represents the ad vanced school of English radicalism. He can drive better than he can lead, andhe does not possess the facility for harmonizing differences among the rant and file gener ally regarded as a sine qua non in a success ful Minister or leader. Th First Editor In a Brltlib Cabinet. Mr. John Morlev will be tne Secretary for Ireland or Colonial Secretary in the F new 'Cabinet, although his acceptance of office will involve another election at jew-castle-on-Tyne,with a tolerable certainty of losing a seat to the opposition. Mr.Morley was a conspicuous member of the last Cabi net, and has the honor of being the first newspaper editor to enter a British Cabi net. Mr. Morley is one of the ablest schol ars of the day, and tne only fault about his SDeeches is the universitv-iecture tone that f seems to pervade them. With so many leading iinerais out; oi ine race there is practically no one to dispute with Harcourt and Morley for the Liberal leadership after Gladstone, whose friends are anxious that he will not tax his strength by leading except in the home rule debates. The contest between the lawyer and the editor for supremacy has been an interest ing one, and the former has won, as already hinted, more on account of bis aggressive ness than his ability, for John Morley is one of the brightest scholars of the day. He is a vigorous free trader, and his "Life of Cobden" is one of the best works ot biog raphy and political economy combined that has been published. His constituents at Newcastle resent his free trade teachings, and threaten to defeat him when he stands for re-election. He will have another seat nrovided fur him, for his debating talent will be sorely needed in the new Parliay ment 1b Return or a Wanderer. 2 Sir George Trcvelyan is named as the probable First Lord ot the Admiralty. Sir George is the champion electoral reformer of the day, and he advocated an extension of the franchise long before it was practi cable to introduce such a measure. Strange to say he followed Chamberlain out ot the Cabinet in 1886 and assisted that gentle man to defeat the home rnle bill; but his secession was brief, and he came back to the Gladstoneans folly convinced of his error. He is one of the ablest of the new Cabinet Ministers and will be a leader in some of the most acrimonious debates. Campbeli-Bannerman, who is the nominee for the Scotch Secretaryship, is a younger worker, but a coming man, and one who believes in home rule for Scotland as well as Ireland. Henry Labouchere, the brilliant epi grammatist, will be a member of the ministry, though His persistent attacks on the roval family make it doubtful whether he will be in the Cabinet "Truthful Tommy," as the editor of Truth is known in newspaper circles, has in past years treated politics rather as a good joke than anything else, and he has burlesqued politicians of every grade without mercy. During the Salisbury administration, however, he dropped the role of candid critic and he has developed into a serions politician of con spicuous ability. In debate he is caustic as well as logical, and his zeal for what is called "rabid republicanism" in England is notorious. He Is a vigorous Home Buler, and would make a most acceptaoie xrlsn Secretary, though he is now slated for the Postmaster Generalship. Herbert Gladstone, tne only one of the new Premier's sons who has exhibited tal ents of his father's order, will be Financial Secretary of the Treasury, and general man of all work for the Cabinet He is a brill iant debater and a young politician of much promise. Many for the Other Position. Baron Herschell will be the new Lord Chancellor, unless he voluntarily makes wav for tbe Lord Chief Justice,' Baron Coleridge. It is stated with some measure of authority that he will take this course, in order 'to enable Sir Charles Russell to become Lord Chief Justice. It is rare, however, that an ex-Lord Chancellor is passed over, one reason in favor of his re appointment being that a life pension is at tached to the office. In Herschell's case, as he only served on the woolsack for four months, he earned his pension "very easily, and as the new Ministry may be short lived, another life pensioner would soon be on tbe nation's books if any than he were ap pointed. Earl Spencer, twice Lord Lieutenans of Ireland, will the Lord President of the Council, an office with a long title and good salary, but very little to da The Earl of Aberdeen will be r.ord Lieutenant of Ire land, and the other Cabinet Minister in the Lords will be the Earl of Klmberly, an other peer who'hasdonegood service torthe Liberal party without establishing a very brilliant record for himself. Mlie other ministers with seats in the Commons will include Anthony J. Mundella, whose long connection with Sheffield and its numerous industries will thoroughly qualify hiln for the office of President ot tbe Board of Trade. Henry Fowler will have a Cabinet office, probably as Secretary for Home Afiairs, and this practically completes the offices. Nothing for Sir Charles Dllkr. In addition to the.prominent members of past Liberal Cabinets, whom death or de tection has made unavailable for the new Ministry, the records of the Divorce Court keep one of the ablest English politicians out of office. That is Sir Charles Dilkef whose name has not been mentioned by any iaoinec lorecasiers, ana wno must De con tent with a back seat in the new Parlia ment Sir Charles was fortunate enough in being selecled as a candidate in a constit uency in which Liberal nomination is tant amount to election, but the British public has not yet forgiven its old idol, and the Pall Mall Gazette keeps up a vindictive and bitter attack on him. It is presumed the co-respondent in the celebrated Crawford Dilke divorce case will support the Govern ment vigorously, but he will have to do it as a free lance. Fortunately for Sir Charles, he is quite wealthy, and does not need a Cabinet offi cer's salary, which is quite large. Most Cabinet offices carry with them a salary of $25,000 a year, and the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer are also provided with residences in addition. The Lord Chancellor receives $50,000 a year.Tind the attorney generalship is worth between $30,000 and $40,000, ac cording to the amount ot fees earned. BIFE FBOIT AND LIQ.TJ0B, The Ju'cy Property Is Calculated to Effect a Want for Food. Any whisky drinker can easily satisfy himself as to the effect ot ripe fruit in con trolling the appetite for spirituous liquors, says a writer in the St Louis Globe-Democrat. The man who can take a drink of whisky or beer after eating two or three ripe peaches, apples or pears any ripe fruit, in fact, that is a little juicy has a peculiar appetite, to say the least It is no difficult thing to cure the liquor or mor phine habit whenever a man fully decides that he wants it cured, especially if he is accustomed to a sufficiency of nourishing food.

TFTBT EEETSBUKQ DISPATCH WEDNESDAY, PLUMES AND SWORDS Have Most Complete Possession' of Denver on a Faultless '-Day.. THE KNIGHTS GREAT r'PA6EAHT. Pennsylvania Holds a Conspicuous Place In the Procession. THE BUSINESS ON HAND THIS WEEK. Dektee, Aug. a Promptly at 1045 this morning the great parade which consti tuted tha escort of the Grand. Encamp ment to its asylum moved from Fourteenth and Market streets on its long march through the principal streets of the city. From early morning preparations have been going on for the big event, and the streets have been crowded with people seek ing positions on the numerous stands along the line of march. Folly 20,000 additional Knights arrived in the city yesterday, and nearly half that number this morning. It is concluded that not fewer than 25,000 people participated in the parade. Tbe handling of these Knights was accomplished with considerable dexter ity. They were divided into 14 divisions, to each of which was assigned side streets for forming upon. The arrangements were so perfect that every division moved into line in excellent order. All along the line the people crowded so as to form an unbroken line three miles in length, and there could not have been less than 200,000 people viewing the magnifi cent pageant TTtiere the Pacennt Wai Viewed. The Grand Encampment officers were driven from their headquarters at the Brown Palace Hotel in carriages to the official re viewing stand on the corner of Logan and Sixteenth avenues, accompanied -by their escort, St John's Commandery No. 4, of Philadelphia, and the famous "Cowboy Band" of Pneblo, Col. The review stand was reached about 10-30 o'clock, as the cowboys in heir picturesque costumes came in view. The multitude awaiting the arrival of the Grand Encamp ment officers at the review stand started enthusiastic cheering, which was continued until Grand Master Gobin took his seat It was some time before the head of the parade reached the reviewing stand, but the Cqw boy Band entertained the large throng dur ing the wait With waving plumes and flying banners, accompanied by bands of music which were placed; every block, the great parade passed the official reviewing stand in 14 divisions. The Pennsylvania contingent formed the fifth division, moving in the following or der: The Big Pennsylvania Division.

It took over three hours for the Knights to tile by, and although the march was a lone one, none of them suffered from the heat, as the suu was hidden during the en tire parade by clouds. A better dav for the purpose could uot have been made to order. The Knights Almost Own Denver. The Knights Templar now have as com plete possession of tbe city as if It were one of the old Eastern olties they captured dur ing the early campaigns. Everything is theirs except the goods of a very few retail dealers who are determined to make all they can out of them. The Knights tilled tbe streets, buildings and clubs all day. They caused Denverites to get up two hours earlier than usual. There was much regret when the parade broke, for it was such a pageant that spec tators never seemed to tire of watching' it Tbe air was filed with dancing plumes and flaming swords, while the brilliant suu, at times peeping out from behind the clouds, glistened as the gold and silver lacings and trappings of the men and horses passed. It was such a parade as has never been seen here before. The members of the Grand Encampment Knights Templar of the United States were escorted to the asylum with fitting honors, and the supreme body of Knights were in session all tbe afternoon for the real business ot the encampment Yerv little was accomplished this afternoon, hut to morrow a start will be made in earnest The Programme for the Week. The election of officers will take place Thursday. In tbe meantime, there is the report ot the Ritual Committee to consider and the fight lor the next conclave is quietly going on between Boston and Cincinnati. with TjOniHvillft nnd Mlnnpnnnlfa ulan in i' race. The Grand Encampment is composed of Past Grand Commanders, the Past Grand Masters, Grand Commanders, Grand Depu ties, Grand Generallssomos and Grand Captain Generals of the different States, making up a membership of about 400. THAT OHIO JIYSTERF. The Body Found In the Sack Identified but the Murderer Unknown. lWxsviixe, Ky., Aug. 9. Employes of Eckert's Hotel here, are almost certain that the body fished from the river tied up in a sack is Mary Lange, who until Saturday pight was n -chambermaid at the hotel. Late that night she crossed on the ferry to Jeffersonville, and about 1 o'clock Sun day morning a watchman at the Ohio Falls Car Works saw a man and woman walking down the river bank near where the body was found. He heard a scream and then all. was quiet, and he saw nothing more of the mn or woman. The tracks of a man and woman have been discovered along the river bank, and there is no doubt but that the woman was murdered, but why and by whom the police have not the slightest idea. A Lake Hoofed With Salt. There is a lake entirely roofed with salt near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake is 9 miles wide and 17 long. In the long ago rapid evaporation of the lake's water left great salt crystals floating on the surface. In course of time these caked together. Thus the waters were finally entirely cov ered. In 1878 tbe lake found an under ground outlet into the Biver Obi, which lowered its surface about three feet The salt crust was so thick, however, that it re tained its old level, and now presents the curious spectacle of a salt-roofed lake. Flying Bite "With Lanterns. At the rural points In Maine, where they know how, flying kites to which .lighted Chinese lanterns are attached is a very pop ular amusement A good-sized kite will carry a number of lanterns, and the effect, when it is some distance in the air, is very striking.

London, Aug. 9. Thomas Neil, Indicted for tbe murder of the girl Matilda, Glover, was again brought up on remand in tbe Bon street police conrt to-day. No nw evidence against Neill was adduced, the police believing that this ia not tbe proper time to disclose the -full nature, of the evidence they have gathered, and that the evidence given before the coroner will be sufficient to have the prisoner held for trial Tbe first witness called to-day was Miss Laura. Sabitinl, who was engaged to be married to Neill. She testified that she was introduced in November to the pris oner, who was known to her as Dr. Thomas Neill-Cream. He told her that he was a doctor in America. Shortly after they became acaualnted, Neil! proposed mar. riage to her and she accepted him. Later be went to America, as ne toia ner, to loot alter his father's estate. Before he left be made a will in which he bequeathed all his property to the witness. This will was witnessed bv a sister of the witness. Neill returned to London in. the beginning of April, ana at once uiw sno -minen at Berkhampstead. Mtss Sabatini told how Neill had induced her to write a letter to Dr. Harper,of Barn staple, accusing his son of the murder of Alice Marsh and Emma Shflvell, and offer ing to surrender the evidence of the crime on the payment of 1,500. It was this letter and a letter to Private Detective Clarke that led to tbe police investigation and the, arrest of Neill. Miss Sabatini added that she did not know who W. H. Murray, whose name'she signed to the letter, was. Neill repre sented to her that he was agent for the Sara toga (N. Y.) Drug Companv, and showed her a case or pill phials. When she wrote the letter to Dr. Harper from Neill's dicta tion, she said it was a terrible charge to make, and asked him if he really had the evidence that young Harper had poisoned the girls. Neill replied that a friend of his, who was a detective, was trying to get the evidence. Other witnesses who testified at the inquent were called and repeated the stories of NelU's connection with the girl as then told by them. Neill was again re manded. - ' . i BEARD? IK FUHEBAL WBEATHS. Tha Ingenious Scheme Devised by a Frenchman for Smuggling. Pearson's Weekly. J The customs officers who are stationed at the gates of Paris to guard against excisable goods entering without paying the duty have occasionally to deal with very in genious attempts at smuggling. The other day, for instance, an attempted fraud was laid bare which goes to show how fertile the contrabandists are in expedients. At the Menilmoutant Gate a man in charge of a pony cart, in which were three large wooden boxes attempted to pass the bar riers. "Have yon anything to declare?" asked one of the officials. "Nothing," said the man, "unless the Government has put a tax on cemetery wreaths." And as he spoke he drew the lid off one of the boxes, revealing a number of the wreaths and crosses of artificial flowers so common in French burial grounds. The man was about to pass on when something about him aroused the suspicions of the chief official. He took the cover off one of tbe boxes and admired the beauty of the flowers and their remaikable fidelity to nature. Lifting one casually in his hand,he found it-was remarkably heavy, and closer exam ination showed that when stripped of flowers and moss it was a zinc case filled with the finest brandy. The rest of the contents of the boxes were of the same nature, and were at once confiscated. As frauds of the kimltore severely "piinlshed by the,, Parisian authorities, .the ingenious inventor of the trick will., probably be allowed leisure enough in Mazos to design something novel, ' SOKE TBAIT8 OF CHICAGO. Its Labor Organizations Are Said to Flay a Very Important Part Noble Canby writes in the August num ber of The Chautauqtum of "Some Charac teristics of Chicago." He deals with the live stock and meat-packing industry, the work ot the W. C T. IT., Chicago architec ture, and labor organizations. We quote from the last named division: One generation has seen in this city the development of varied conditions of life; it has watched the processes of up-building and has witnessed the sharp drawing of the line between wealth and poverty. No one generation east has been able to do this. The factory system of New England has been of slow growth. Bestive under it, many vigorous laborers emigrated to Chi cago, who, soon realizing the same condi tions, have now no west to emigrate to. Whether right or wrong, they form an army of discontented laborers, fast becoming or ganized into unions. Among these wage workers, said to num ber 200,000 In the city, are found about 300 labor organizations. -The most important of these labor bodies is the Trades and Labor Assembly. ' Next comes the Building Trades Council, composed of the unions of about 20 trades in building. Carpenters number over 7,000 men, organized in vari ous anions through the city, and centrally as the Carpenters' Council. Unions and councils of printers, compositors, press men, stereotypers, metal workers, molders, pattern makers, longshoremen, seamen, street railroad men, cigar makers, bakers, blacksmiths, hod carriers, leave only un skilled labor to care for itself without or ganized strength. THE BEE AND THE FLOWERS. It Is a Mistaken Idea That the Insects Only Visit One Species. Youth's Companion. i One of the best possible illustrations of the great, and sometimes unexpected, value of careful observation of small things is furnished by -an English naturalist's recent discovery that nearly all writers on the habits ot bees have blundered In assert ing that a honey bee, when on a foraging trip, confines itself to one species of flow er. It has been said that if a bee begins, for instance, gathering pollen from a daisy It will visit only daisies during that trip, avoiding clover blossoms, honeysuckles, violets, and so on. But Mr. G. W. Bulman announces that he has watched bees changing from one kind of flower to another dnring a single trip. One bee, in partloular, visited 27 flowers belonging to ten different species. If this is correct, the discovery has an im portant bearing upon the theory of influence of bees in producing cross fertilization of plants. But how easy it would be for any person, a boy or a girl who knows flowers, for in stance to carry on such observation for him self or herself, thereby opening np not only a new source of intelligent recreation, which would rapidly increase in interest, but gath ering facts whioh might make a reputation for the young discoverer, and add material ly to the stores of science. Statues That Could Walk. It must have been delightful to have pos sessed the belief of some of the olden folks, who regarded everything heard as absolute ly true. Plato tell ns that one Dsdalus made statues that were able to walk, and adds that when these statues were not re quired to perambulate they had to be tied to hinder them doing so. What an un pleasant thing it would be to have one of these things, and be obliged to hire a nurse to look after ltl j AUGUST 10, 1893. THE BUSilESS WORLD. Too Many Committees and Conflict ing Interests Is What Ails BICHH05D TERMINAL .MATTERS. Over One-Half of Forth Carolina Tracxage in Hands of Beceirera. F1REP, PilTiTEES AND EAILWAT NET7S New Yobk, Aug. 9. The directors of the Blchmond Terminal and the Btabmand and Danville will meet to-morrow and try to get some order out of the chaos into which matters have drifted. - Every day sees a rising tide of opposition to the multi plying of committees that make suggestion! and go no further through want of power, push or personal interest. Yesterday John Bloodgood issued a call for holders of tbe S per cent Richmond Terminal bonds, to re port at his office for concerted action. He says of the situation of their bonds:. The default of the 6 per cent collateral truat bonds on tha 1st of August demon strates that there will also be a default in the interest on the 5 per cent collateral trust bonds maturing'.September 1. The un pledged assets of the Terminal Company, now loaned to the Richmond audDanvtlle Railroad Company, should be In tne treas ury of the former company, and If thero would add greatly to the value of the S per cent bonds. Tbe cosh value of these amets Is estimated in the neighborhood of 14,000, 000, or about 40 per cent on the 5 per cent bonds now outstanding. It tbe Spar cent bondholders do not act vigorously to pro tect themselves, the securities deposited In the Central Trust Company to secure their bonds mizht be sold at nuotlon under fore closure of the mortgage at a groat sacrifice. In such an event the loss to the S per cent collateral trust bondholders would be very great. Tbe securities loaned to the Richmond and Danville and hypothecated by the eom- Eany might also be sold, and the 6 per cent ondholders realize very little on a forced sale. It is not likely that the Clyde-Maben-Strong committee may ba pushed aside be cause of their inactivity on this point, A large holder of Richmond Terminal stock and bonds was asked what he thought of the company's situation and the prospect ot a successful reorganization. He said: There are too many committees. I am told there are more than a dozen. The men who dominate these committees hare con. fllctlnir interest, Some have interests that directly conflict with the best Interests of tha roads which make np tbe Blchmond Terminal svatem. So long an this condition continues there can be no reorganization that will place the property on a sound financial footing. It is a boast of one man, who owns a line of steamers running in direct competition to the Blchmond and Danville Railroad, that he intends to reonranj!e the Blchmond Terminal Company, and lie has succeeded in estranging some of the most powerfnl financial men in this country ana Europe who were inclined to take up the business with a reasonable hope of success. Mean while the unfortunate security-holders, like Mlcawber, are waiting for something to turn up, while almost dally new committees are announced. What would you think of a proposition from the owners of the Ureat Northern HhII road to reorganize the Northern Pacific In the event of a default on the bonds o. the latter company Well, it would be about .(s sensible and bn9ines-llke as placing the Richmond Terminal in tbe hands of a rival steamboat owner. The terminal ia surfering from three very bad disorders, viz; Too much financiering In the past, too much Wall street and too many reorganized plans. Unless its affairs are speedily placed In the hands of men who are bona fide owners of its securities and who have no other inter ests to serve, disaster must inevitably fol low. BAIIBOADS tOSING MONET. Fifteen of Them In Brcelvers rtands in South Carolina. Chablestox, S. 0., Aug. 9. Special.' Tbe railroads of South Carolina, in addi tion to their troubles with the State, are In a bad way financially and otherwise. Fif teen of them are in the hands of receivers, m follows: Ashe vi lie and Spartanburg; At lanta and Charlotte Air Line; Columbia, Knoxville and Western; Three C's; Charles ton, Sumter and Northern; Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta; Cheraw and Chester; Chester and Lenoir; Columbia and Lenoir; Columbia and Greenville; Laurens Bail road; Port Boyal and Augusta; Port Boyal and Western Carolina; South Carolina Bail wav; Spartanburg Union and Columbia. These roads represent more than one-half the total railroad mileage of the State. 1,487K miles out of a total mileage of 2,358)4 miles. Considerably more than half of tbe roads are already in the hands of the courts, simply because they cannot make money, even with as good or better man agement than is given to successful private business enterprises.

Happy Hit at the Demo crats and Their .Krcorit on Claims Cleveland's Action Contrasted With tho Bnpub-'lcan Presidents. Washington, Aug. 9. leetaW Mr. Grout makes a very happy partisan hit at tbe Democrats in connection with pension legislation, and it is really very well de served. He cites the fact that President Cleveland wrote 250 veto messages, stamp ing with his disapproval that number ap proved by both branches of Congress. He also annulled 47 more with a "pocket veto" at the time of adjournment. Two hundred and twenty-seven more became laws with out his signature, because he withheld them for more than ten days. Thus, Mr. Grout declares, Cleveland virtually negatived 524 private pensicm bills, and by wav of con trast asserts that no Republican President ever vetoed a private pension bill. The more amusing because it is in this connectien, is the further statement of the negligence of the present House in the early part of the session in regard to pen sion bills and its astounding enthusiasm at tbe last hour. The House made no pro vision tor a special session to ennslder pri vate pension bills until Pickler, of South Dakota, a Republican, introduced a resolution providing that Friday even-' ing of .each week be set apart for that purpose. This was adopted, but no evening session was held until February 26, and that entire session was spent hatreling over one little bill, to pension a destitute widow over 71 years of age. On the 20th day of July only 56 pension bills had been passed by the House, but on the Friday evening of ad journment no less than 105 such bills were rushed through, lor political effect, within two and one-half hours, two beiug acted on, favorably which had not been reported to the House by the committee, In contrast to this Mr. Grout cites that no less than 893 hills for war claims, nearly all from the late Confederate States, were re ported favorably, most'of them quite early in tbe session. These bills carrv over 400, 000,000, and bills and petitions' before the Committee on War Claims not yet acted on involve the payment of $500,000,000 more, including the refunding of the cotton tax of about f 65,000, 000. ABISTOCBACY AND GOOD LOOKS, The Gods or tbn Heathen Ara Ugly, but Nevertheless Great. As a matter of fact, there is scarcely any connection between aristocracy, even demo cratic aristocracy, and a good profile, says T. V. Higginson, in Harper' Bazaar. The more complete the system of caste, the more absolutely it is dissevered Irom anything relating to externil appearance. The social inferior looks up to the superior, as one of Dickens' "reverential wives" looks up to her husband, with a reverence not impaired by any homeliness of features. Rut us Choate said of Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachusetts, who was one of the plain est of men: "I feel toward him as the South Sea Islander feels toward his idol; he sees that he is ugly,, but he knows that he Is great." The most striking case perhaps of this complete reversal of judgment under the influence of caste is to be found in those two tribes described by the author of "Two Happy Years in Ceylon," the RnckVea dahs and the Bodiyas. Tne Bock Veddahs are stunted, hideous and filthy; they live 'in secluded caves and holes; they eat bats and rats, and make their scanty clothing from the bark of trees; but the Singhalese regard them as ot the very highest caste, and it would be no disgrace for a woman of good social position to marry a Bock Veddah. On tbe other hand, tbe very greatest dis grace that could be inflicted on such a woman would be to marry her to a Bodiya, although these last are a race distinguished for beauty, at least in youth, and gentle and innocent by nature. The Bodiyas cannot enter a temple or a village; they are forbid den to till the soil or draw water irom a well; tbey cannot build a house or divide a burden into two bundles; their shadow must not fall on a stream, lest it be polluted; no member of another caste may touch them without dis grace; yet anyone may shoot them without blame. All this is supposed to be in conse quence of the act of an ancestor two thou sand years ago. who inveigled a king into eating human flesh.. As a consequence the beautiful race is at the foot of the social scale, the ugly and repulsive at the top. Plants for the World's fair. The World's Fair Commission, of New South Wales has decided to send to Chicago for exhibition in tbe Horticultural De partment of the Exposition the following typical representatives of Australian vege tation and flora: Tree ferns, staghorn ferns, birdsnest ferns, todea ferns, xnacrozamias of two distinct kfnds, gigantic lilies, rock lilies sndferass trees.

Mill The Industry languishing In 2fattlqtftls Owing to theV'R'n,py A.ffarl'nturej'.or the Bnslnes In ike United SUtes. New Yokk, Aug. Sl-One of England' great industries the maibifactBre of lacs will soon be firmly established . in the United States Nottingham, England, has long been a borne of the lace and lace cur tain Industry; millions of dollarare in vested in the business there, and each, year products of the mills .Jo, the extent of millions of dollars have) been sent to this country. But before long, the few lace curtain manufacturer now in this country say, there will be different state of affairs. England, instead! of having the greatest lace curtain industry in the world, will have to be content, they declare, with takingaplaceaiter the United States. The Nottingham lace companies realize that America is the plaee for such an industry, and some of them are already preparing to bring their plants here, and to give employment to thousands of American, waee earners. The cause of this turn in the tide is the McKinley act. Before that measure be came a law there was really no lace indus try in this' country that was doing what could be called a business. Tbe moat re cent example of the benefits of the law is the corporation of the Wyandance Lace Company, 'which will soon have a plant at Wyandance, I I., which will give employ ment for several hundred people, who will receive American wages. An officer of the concern saya: "1 was" in the lace curtain business in ' Nottingham and was doing a good business there until the ilclyiiiley act was pased But when America saw fit to place a duty on lace and lace curtains the company I was interested in could not afford to send shipments, to this country. As we exported such a large quantity of lace and lace cur tains to the United States it naturally crippled our business, and our profits were cut down, I, as on Englishman, thought it was an outrage to prevent ua from doing business with Americans, but I now see that it was a smart Yankee idea, to get the industry over here. The Ameri cans, I know, want to have plenty of lace, but they also want it to be made in this country. As it was simply a case of 'America proposes to have the industry, I set about to take a hand in starting it. The result in my case is the Wyandance Lace Company, with works on Lo'nz Island. We shall not start on a small scale. We shall have seven machines with all the subsidiary machines, and within a 12-month after we start we hope to double the number of ma cbines and more than double the output" DRANK 10 GALLONS A DAY. They Gave Him Up and He Went to the Hospital. Smith of Providence Couldn't Walk but Now He Can Race. And His House Becomes a Meccatfor the Folks Who Wear Crutches. PrOVIDEsce. R. I.. Aug. . Frank Smith has had a hard time. Xotrerj-long ago he was the owner of a prosperous business la one of the sub urbs of Boston. Xow lie reslilcs at 103 Richmond ttreit, tills city, and be Is. forced to. wort for a bare livelihood. Tuts change or fortune was due primarily to the breaking down of Ills health aud consequent ina bility lo attend to business, Un December 11. 1330, Mr. Smith was recom mended for admission to the Rhode Island Hospital by- Dr. Terry. The diagno sis was diabetes. Last Sep tember Sir. Smith wrote the following letter, which was published in ibe Frotldence papers: "When I was ad mitted to the Rliod Ii'and Hospital I had a stiffness and pain in my legs and FJtAKK S11IT1I. stajrgered likean old man of PO. I drank at least two gallons of water a day. It was then tha; I began to lose my sight, and tbe live doctors that 1 had told me that I was afflicted irlh diabetes. "I tried soTCr&l medicines that were recom mended, but found tlier did me no good. Seven weeks ago I began nslug Faine's celery compound, and to-day I can run as well as any man of Sola thisStati-. For two years I had a tingling In my ongeis aud toes like lightning that gomes from the heart, but Fulne's celery compound has got tha better of that. May the Lord pour His choicest blessings on the man that discovered this boon. Every man that I see that has an ache or a pain I tell about this compound. It cures them all. "There Is one qid man who llres near me who has been on crutches for a long while. I got Mm a bottle of the compound and he has already throws away bis crutches. "Every word of this is trn-. and I am willing to swear to It before any Jndge In thf world. All my friends wonder how I have picked up, and ask me what doctor I have bad. I tell them that ralne's celery compound has done all this lor me, In an Interview to-day -with Mr. Smith, he stated! "The publication of this statement -U4?JL ($s UcnmfUiJM 6nuu'f A A&- ?&. dL&ufSf&fitbfrrA S& .S8Uf, $taA&d tS&- now ns ZNTinrn. brought so many to see me that my house looked like a hospital. They came limping along with canes. 30 or 40 a day. and I tell every one of them tbat Faine's celery compound will make them well. I know of a great many who hare taken my advice and the compound did Jnst what 1 said It would." Inquiry among Mr. Smith's friends shows that he states nothing but facts In regard to his ease. Many othar Instances of tbe kind are widely talked of here In Providence, where Faine's celery com pound has effected enres after physicians had given up hope. Local physicians who have been Inter viewed agree that It Is undoubtedly tbe most relia ble means known for curing rheumatism, diseases of the nervons system, kldnev troubles. Physicians In this city prescribe the compound freely, as they are acquainted with Its formula and know that It Is not a patent medicine. It gives health and strength to the weak and suffer ing and has the Indorsement of the best people In the community. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Baking Powder 8 J- &4. K&S& fc - ? Of mmzk
