OBITUARY.
Robert Ubamber.


Robert Chambers, OF the well-known Edinburgh
publishing firm of William q Robert Chambers,
died yesterday at Edinburgh He was born in
1902, at PEBBLES, and was two years younger
than his brother William. His parents were
respectable, and he received an excellent COM
mon school education in his native town. Pecu-
mary reverses obliged his parents to remove to
Edinburg, and Robert and William were, to a
great extent thrown upon their own resources.
Their fondness for reading induced them to
select the business of bookselling, and William
served an apprenticeship from 1914 to 1919,
when he started on his own account
in small way with only few shillings capital.
Robert began business in 1918, and having strong
literary tastes, he tried hislhand at authorship
by starting a small periodical called the Kdlei-
doscope, which William set up in type and
printed himself. This publication was short
lived, and in 1928 Robert began to write q
work which he hoped would prove popular.
This was entitled illustrations of the Author
of Waverley," and referred to Ithe supposed
original characters of the novelist So soon as
this work was published he began to collect
materials for his Traditions of Edinburgh"
which appeared in 1924, and passed through
several editions. In 1926 Robert
published the popular Rhymes of
Scotland" and in 1897, pictures
Oh ScOtland. snort time after he issued five
volumes of histories of ''Ths Scottish Rebel
lion, two of life of James ;" and three of
''Scottish Ballads and Songs" In 1885 he COM
pleted in four volumes his Biographical Die
tionary of Eminent Scotchmen." In the mean
time William carried on an independent bus-
ness as author and publisher until 1929, when
the brothers united in the production of a
'Gazetteer of Scotland, which appeared inl1S32.
Robert also wrote "History of Scotland for
Juvenile Readers" In 1882 Chambers Journal
was projected by the elder brother for
the purpose of supplying intellectual
food of the best Kind in such a form and at such
price as to suit the convenience of every man
in the British dominions." The success of
Chambers Journal was immense, and it soon
obtained a circulation of fifty thousand, and
subsequently it rose much higher The success
of this publication induced the brothers to join
in partnership. In 1884 they commenced the
publication of Information for the People,"
which was followed by the encyclopedia of Eng
lish Literature" "The Peoples Edition of
Standard English Works." "The Educational
Course" two series of 'Tracts" and ''Papers for
the People" Robert, although he had not
received any regular scientific education, dis
played from early life strong tendency to such
studies and he produced several geological
works. His last historical work was sThe
Domestic Annals of Scotland" He also edited
the "Book of Days." which was completed in
1868, and he also aided greatly in the prepara-
tion of Chambers Encyclopedia" The estab-
lishment of the Messrs. Chambers in Edinburgh
is one of the sights of the city. Nearly two hun
dred hands are employed in it,

despatch was received here to-day from Cover
nor Alcorn, Of Mississippi, by the Alabama delega-
tion, in which he states that thorough examina-
ton is being made concerning the outrage at Meri-
dian; that there is some trouble along the frontier
bordering on the State OF Alabama, but with these
exceptions affairs in the State are generally peace
full, and that he feels himself fully competent to
preserve order throughout the State.
Strong appeals are being made to Senator's TO
allow the bill which passed tile House respecting the
Duty Goal and Salt
to pass the Senate. The Finance Committee will
not permit these to be acted on at the pre-
sent session. Senator Trumbull and Others II the
session is extended, will endeavor to secure the pas
sage Of both bills.
NIInister schenck,
having made application for his pay as Minister to
England discovered that he could not draw any
cept one months pay. 1t appears that the law ex-
plicty states that Minister Consul shall be al
lowed to draw more than one months paw before
going to his place OF duty. Mr.. Schenck Will,
therefore, be compelled TO forego his pay Miuis
ter until he arrives in England.
Senator sherman
has given notice that he will press his resolution,
agreed to in caucus relative to the Judiciary Com
mittee reporting bill for the
Suppression of the Ku-Klux
in the South. The resolution is now before the
able debate. Senator Sherman Will lead Off in the
debate giving his views OF the condition OF affairs In
the South.
Southern Outrases.
The Southern Democratic members OF the House
held caucus to-day, and resolved to issue an ad-
dress to their constituents advising that every
facility be afforded the joint )mmittee for ascer-
tanning the truth concerning the violations OF law in
that section OF the country.

A VALUABLE MISUNDERSTANDING the many de-
vices Of fraud and villany, that OF altering checks,
drafts, bonds ETC., to larger amounts than intended
by those issuing them, has lately become popular
with rogues and swindlers, who by removing the
figures and the words denoting the amount for
which the paper was drawn, and writing in the
amount desired, have succeeded in defrauding
bankers, merchants, and others Of very large sums
of money. To prevent the success OF this sort of
fraud, many shrewd intellects have devoted their
attention, and, at last, invention has been per-
fected which is signally effectual We have been
shown an instrument styled the ''check puncurer,"
by Mr.. GeorgeW. Holmes, Jr, Of this city, by which
the figures and words expressing the amount Of
money named therein can be Instantly punctured 80
as to prevent second writing of words or figures
in their places leaving the original writing perfectly
intact. This invention, which is very simple and
cheap has been endorsed by all the principal banks
and bankers and many Of the merchants OF this city,
as may be seen by reference to our advertising
columns.

The Failures in Business.

The failures in the United States during
1870, amounted to 1851, involving liabilities
OF SSS, 242,O 900, against failures during 1869
amounting to 2,199, involving liabilities of
S75,054,0 900. Thus the failures increased the
past year in number as well as the amount Of
the liabilities, the latter some % per cent.
The failures in New York city and BROOKLYN
during 1870 amounted to 43O, involving liabili-
ties OF $20. 900, against failures during
lS69 amounting to 4l8, involving liabilities of
$2l 10000. The failures in Pennsylvania
during 1870 amounted to 4l8, involving liabili-
ties OF $40, $4,000, against failures during 1860
amounting to 306, involving liabilities of ST..
844, 900. In Maryland the failures last year
numbered So, with liabilities of 81 1888, 600,
against 81 failures in 1869, with liabilities
amounting to ST ,285, 600. In Delaware last
year the failures were II, with liabilities of
Sl9I,O 900, against l3 failures in 1869, with liza.
bllltleS of $2jl 900. In the District of Col
umbla, failures last year, with $28. 900 Of La
bhtleS, against failures with 100000 liabili-
ties in 1869. In Virginia. 76 failures last
year, with $l,l1S,000 liabilities, against 50
failures and 81 100000 liabilities in 1869. In

with 81 ,403.00O liabilities, against 30 failures
and $5I7000 liabilities the previous wear
Texas appears to have Jared badly having had
% failures with 81 .O07 900 of liabilities. against
~ failures and S720,00O liabilities in 1869. 1t
is a remarkable fact that Wisconsin. a com.
paratlvely new State in the Northwest. shows
nearly az many failures and as great losses as
old Virginia, scourged as the latter has been
by the war and reconstruction. " Wiscon-
sin had "A failures last year, involving 81 ,lO7,.
900 OF liabilities, against 81 failures and ST.
O41 900 OF liabilities the previous year. In
Michigan the failures are still larger, les the
past year, with $3227 900 liabilities, against
las failures and s., 2O4 600 liabilities in 1869
The greatest increase of failures, however.
appears to have been in California, where
there was 60, with $2423.000 liabilities,
against in 1869, with $5g3, 900 of liabilities.
Ait gether, the statistics are not considered
satisfactory, inaSmuch as an increase of twenty.
hve per cent. IN failures, as compared with
1869 and thirty three per cent, as compared
with 1868, it Is as erted, indicates a discourag-

In-growing Toe Nails.


This most painful of the diseases of the nails
is caused by the improper manner of cutting
the nail generally of :he great toe), and the
wearing narrow, badly made shoe The
nail beginning to grow too long, and rather
wide at the corners, which is often trimmed
around the corner, which gives temporary re-
llet. But 1t then beglus TO grow wider in the
side where it was cut off; and, as the shoe
presses the flesh against the corner, the nails
cut more and more into the raw flesh, which
becomes excessively tender and irritable. If
this state continue long. the toe becomes more
and more painful and liberated, and fungus
lproud flesh )sprouts up from the Sorcst points
Walking greatly increases the suffering, till
positive rest becomes Indispensable
TREATMENT. We omit all modes Of cutting
out the nail by the root, and all other cutting
or torturng operations. Begin the effort at
cure by simple application to the tender part
OF a small quantity of perchoride of iron. 1t
Is found IN drug stores in a fluid form, though
sometimes in powder There is Immediately
moderate sensation of pain, construction, or
burning. In few minutes the tender surface
is felt to be dried up, tanned, or mummifed,
and it ceases to be painful. The patient, who
before could not put his foot to the floor now
finds that he can walk upon it without pain.
BY permitting the hard, wood like flesh, to re-
main for two or three weeks, it can be easily
removed by soaking the foot in warm water
n new and healthy structure is found, firm and
solid, below. If thereafter the nails be no
more cut around the corners or sides, but al
ways curved in cross the front end, they will
in future grow only straight forwards and by
wearing a shoe Of reasonably good size and
shape, oil further trouble viii! be avoided
