Skstoh of His Life. ‘George William Curtis died Thursday at fis home in Livingston, S. I. He was con- cious to the last and suffered no pain. Dr. Frank G. Curtis his son, was in attendance, ~ and Mrs, and Miss Curtis were present. Mz, Curtis was sick about 2 months from some unknown disease of the stomach. He suffered much pain up to two or three days before his death. The funeral was held on Friday and was private. At the house great privacy was maintained.” There was no crape upon tha door and the usual signs of mourning were omi GEORGE W. CURTIS. George William Curtis was born at Proyi- dence, R. I, February 24, 1824. After leay- ing school he was for a year clerk in a mer- cantile house in New York, and in 1842 went, together with an elder brother, to the Brook, Farm Socialistic institution at ‘Rox- bury, Mass.. In 1846 he went to Europe. Returning to America in 1850, he published “Nile Notes of a' Howadji.’’ This was fol- lowed in 1852 by the ‘‘Howadji in Syria.” In the meantime he had connected himself with the New York Tribune and had become one of the editors of Putnam's Monthly. ‘The failure of this magazine in 1857, in- volved Mr. Curtis in financial difficulties from which he was 15 years in clearing himself. He became a contributor to‘ Har- per’'s Magazine,” to which he has, since 1858, furnished a monthly paper under the title of the ‘Editor’s Easy Chair.” In 1857 ‘Harper's Weekly’ was established, and Mr. Curtis soon became its principal editor, a pasition which he held at the time of his eath. : . Mr. Curtis took an active part in politics, though never aspiring to office. e was a delezate to the New . York constitutional convention, was a presidential elector on the Republican ticket in 1868, and was a mem- ber of the commission to frame civil service ru es. Recently he had become what is call- ed a “Mugwump’’ Republican. He was resident of the National Civil Service Re- rh League. In 1884 he supported Mr. Oleveland for president in opposition to Mr. laine. — CHOLERA CALLS A HALT. The General Improvement in Business Receives a Check. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade suy a: While industry and business were im. proving daily and prespects - were brighter than ever, the sudden alarm’ about cholera came to cause some hesitation. It is even said that buyers from the South who had started for this city turned back because they were afraid of detention by quaran- tine here. In all other respects nearly all accounts show actual increase in business over last year. Crop prospects are better, mouey isin greater demand, with an ample supply every where, and industries are pro- ducing more than ever. Fear that the exports may be curtailed by pestilence in Europe, has depressed the markets. Wheat has dropped to 788c, the lowest point since 1883, and recovered only to fall off two cents for the week. Corn has dropped 64 cents for the week, with better Western repo:ts. Cotton rose a shade, but has 1allen to 7% cents again with sales of 666,000 bales. Oats have declined 3 cent; rk 50 cents per barrel; lard 37 cents and ogs 90 cents per 100 pounds, and oils five- eights lower. The greater part of these changes come from the unnatural condition of the mar- kets for some time held up in spite of the extraordinary stocks in sights. Wheat re- ceiptsin four days were 4,852,296 bushels, but exports unly 963,415. Stocks of cotton on hand in this country equal two months’ consumption, and in Europe about three months” consumption of American, while current estimates of the coming crop are constantly rising. It has been evident that Europe will take less of our products this yeur than last, but pestilence there will not ‘greatly diminish the need of food or clothing. Manufactures in this country have never be.n in better condition on the whole than that which reports now indicates. The iron and stee! industry rapidly resumes full pro- duction, though rome mills are yet delayed by repairs. The demand for pig is very good, while mills are pushed for bar, plates, sheets and structural iron. Strikes no long- er prevent production except at Pittsburg. At Philadelphia iron mills are full of or- ders, wood consumption is greater than ‘ever and improvement is seen in tobacco, chemicals, jewelry and groceries. At Balti: more groceries und the clothing trade are active, dry goods in fair demand, and naval stores steady, but canned goods dull. At Cleveland trade is good in rolled prod- ucts, dry goods, hardware and groceries, and at Cincinnati, machine shops and foun- deries are pushed to their full capacity, ex- © gecding last year's production. £ GOOD TRADE IN THE WEST. Better demand for money is seen at Mil waukee and no injury to corn or tobacco re- rted. Trade increases at St Paul and Liki with fine crop prospects, lum- ber very active and strong. The business failures occurring through: out the country during the past seven days number for the United States 148, and for Canada 28, a total-of 176, against 180 last week and 197 the week previous to last, and 217 for the corresponding week of last year.

Celebration of His Eighty Third Birthday. im OLIVER WENDELYL HOLMES, The genial Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, cele- brated his eighty-third birthday at Beverly Farms, Mass., his summer residence, a few days azo. It was a busy day for the aged poet, yet a day of happiness and content- ment. ‘‘Itis the pleasantest event of this sort I have had in recent years,” he said. He had a chance fo rest in the morning, but in the afternoon his time was fully taken up with visitors. His health is generally good, but his eyesight is failing a little and it in- terferes somewhat with his reading ani cor- respondence. That is the only evidence of advancing years. He had several presents and an avalanchs of letters and telegrams. Ex-Secretary Bayard was among the guests, and the venerable Robert C. Winthrop called upon him a day or two ago to present his con- gratulations. Among the gifts were a beautiful basket of flowers from his pub- lishers: set of Charles Lamb's works, beauti- fully bound, the gift of two lady friends, and a nautilus shell mounted on solid siiver. It was indeed a very pretty conceit. The large nautilus shell of exquisite tints and coloring had been set on a standard of silver. Uvon the silver case was inscribed in script the opening line from Dr, Holmzs’s well known poem, ‘‘The Chambered Nau- tilus,” the opening line, which runs thus: “Thanks for the Heavenly message brought thee. The delicate and exquisite gift was from Mrs. William H. Moore, of Chicago, who was one of the' early callers. There was a large frosted cake, bearing the letters *‘O. W. H.” upon the top, wreathed with a delicate green vine, and surmounting it were twelve tiny candles. This was from a young miss in the neighborhood, Amelia Calif, who claims descent from Robert Calif of the days of Cotton Mather. } Still another gift was a small bronze piece, representing three corner pillars of a temple in the Roman Forum, here was a pin cushion, done in dainty fancy work, from a lady admirer, and there were sprays and bouquets of flowers fron many ochers. One gitt which he prizes very much cams from a friend in Scotland, who sent i tac- simile of the first edition Of the works of Robert Burns, which have now become ex- ceedingly rare. lt is dated 182).

Andrews, already famous for his daring adventures in small boats on the stormy Atlantic, has again seb sail on a novel and interesting voyage. He crossed the ocean twice before, first in the “Nautilus,” when he was accompanied by his brother, wh» has sincs died, and again in the “Mermaid,” both of these trips being made to Land's End, England. A few yearsago he again attempted the pas- “Dark Secret,” but, after battling with contrary winds, high seas and terrific storms, he reluctantly consented to give up his efforts after a struggle of sixty-two days, and returned to America on a bark which kindly consentel to take him and his sesa-beaten boat back to New York. The captain is a very interasting charac- ter. He isa man of fixel purposes, very hard to turn from the object he has in view, He has made the subject of small boat sai'= ing such a stuly that he is pre ared to meet every argument against the risks which spring to the minds of his critics, yet she New York Herald put the cass in a nut- shell when it said: “The fact that Capt. Andrews can cross the ocean in a cackle shell inerely proves that small boats ara safe when a Capt. Audrews sails them. Awma- teurs stould remember this when the wind begins to sing.” ‘The Captain himsel says that ‘half the people who are drowned lose their lives be. cause they do not realizz that a boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might, ora ship loaded with a heavy cargo, but a row boat, sail boat or ordinary wooden vessel may capsize, but will, nevertheless, oat. The passengers on the great ocean steamers run some risk when they go to sea, butall around the deck they see wooden floats nung up on which they are taught fo depend for their lives if the big steamer goes down. Thess boats are often crushed against the great vessel or are capsized in lowering, I am alone ina wooden boat entirely under my own con- trol, and, in my opinion, far safer than others.” An ingenious theory but hardly a fair one. Capt. Andrews is by trade a piano maker. He built the “Sapolio” at Atlantic City in the preseucs of hundreds of people, ani ex- hibited. it on the Long Pier for several weeks, 1b is a canvas folding boat lined the same. In order to fold it there must be three long canvas hinges from stem to stern, and the daring Captain writes by an incom- .shore) that he finds the ¢* ‘Sapolio’ in a seas way is a scrubber but very leaky.” No bet- ter proof of his coolness and pluck could be given, : The start was made at 4:30 Wednesday, July 20tb, the destination being Palos, Spain. Captain Andrews has instructions to scour the seas until he discovers that port and the starting point of Columbus, Itis believed that, sailing in a fourteen foot boat without so much as a hot cup ot coffze to vary his diet ot biscuits and canned goods,’ he will, single-han led, eclipss the record of that Spanish-Italian adv :nturar who almost failel to cross tha great oecian with thras ships, 15) men, after securing the Queen's iswels to pawn aud havinr ths blessinz of the Church thrown in.

That it is not a foolbardy affair notable trip in which he batti>d for sixty. two days without reashing ths other sie, Thousands of people saw tha start, his presence at different points on ths ocian has been noted by large numbers of vessals, and his landing on the other sid» will no doubt be made a matter of puilic demoa- stration and rejoicing. As he sailed from the pier he said, ‘‘In sixty days I will be in Spain,” and up to the last reports™he hai made better time than hs anticipated. Every day during the voyage a bottle will be thrown overboard notinz the location and other‘information about ths “rip, If Capt. Andrews succeeds in reaching Spain and joining in the Ostober calebras tions which will be held in honor of tha discovery of America, he will then ratucn in one of the great stea ners and arranzs to exhibit his boat and ths log which he writes up day by day, at the World's Fair in Chi- eago, where he will be one of the features of the magnificent display which the manu. facturers of Sapolio are now perfecting, The assurance, wo might almost s1y theime pudence, of these aggressive manufacturers in securing a Coluubus of their own is probably without precs lent in advertising.

To find the collar that suits you and then buy a dozen or two of that kind, To turn the points of your collars (if you wear that sort) as soon as they come home from the laundry—as it may save time some morning when you are in a hurry. To wear what is becoming to you, ir- respective of whether it would beautify any other human being. . To have night garments that will in- sure the utmost degree of repose—pro- vided, of course, that bedding and ven- tilation are also properly arranged. To keep the head moist while exposed to the sun on hot days. “A cabbage leat in the hat” was the old-time pre- scription, and it was a good one, but our gilded youth can substitute rose leaves and do as well, if only they have enough of them. To have all the clothing loose ard light under the fervent heats of summer.

Tugs Swirt Specific Co, Atlanta, Ga, A Londoner recently in this country, having heard that Chicago had a greater number of railroad stations within its limit than any other city' in the world, decided to investigate. He declares that the assertion is ridiculous; that there is no city that can make such a showing as London, with its 400 stations. The reason for London’s extraordinary prominence in the matter of depots is not altogether on account of its enor- mous population; the large number of stations is caused quite as much by the refusal of Parliament to allow street cars to run within the old city limits, or the district bounded by the old London wall, and also to allow rapid transit of any kind in London or any part of it. There is only about a mile of cable ‘road in the great city, and, although there are eight or ten miles of what are known as steam tramways, the terminals of these roads are four miles from the Bank of England, and’each car has to be fitted with an automatic brake, which applies itself the moment the speed ex- ceeds eight miles an hour. These re- strictions compel the bulk of the inhab- itants to go to and from business in underground or overhead railroads, and nearly every suburban district is inter- sected by three or four roads. Night Lamps. No house should be without a glim- mer of light at night—a light suftf- cient to prevent groping and stum- bling about in Egyptian darkness if one is obliged to rise. This is espe- cially true of homes where there are little children. The idea that chil- dren are in any way benefitted by be- ing made to sleep in absolutely dark rooms is untenable. If the light be sufficiently subdued and of a sort to leave the air quite pure, it is hard to see any harm in it. Gas turned low is never safe, as the fluctuations in the meter may make it go out. An ordinary kerosene lamp turned low is at all times an abdtination. Little night lamps, costing 25 cents, with quarter-inch wicks, filled with pure oil and carefully trimmed, can be turned up to their full height with- out giving too much light or emitting any odor. Animals Trespassing. In a recent case tried before Judge Finletter, in which a person was charged with an offense in killing a neighbor’s cat which annoyed him, it was decided that this was perfectly lawful; that in any case where ani- mals trespassed to the annoyance of any one, and there was no possible chance of catching and holding them, the person so annoyed was justified in shooting as his only protection against annoyance. .
