HORACE FAIRBANKS

The ENLARGEMENT OF THE CABI-
NET. - Senator Window of Minnesota
has brought forward a bill to create a
Department Of Commerce, giving the
Secretary thereof seat in the Cabi-
net. At the same time, General But
Ter has introduced into the House, a
bill to inaugurate a Department of
Agriculture, with like honor Of rep
resentation in the Cabinet. 1t rather
curious that this proposed tribute to
Commerce should come from the most
distant prairies, while the representa-
tive Of commercial State who knows
as little, probaAs, about the wants of
agriculture as lfe'does about anything
else, should offer 4 measure in which
that interest is particularly concerned
Such has been the way in too much Of
our legislation has originated. With
regard to agriculture, however, while
it important enough to command any
representation in the Government
which could be of any real use to it,
it would be we'll to Obtain at least
one, good, capable Commission Of
Agriculture for whom the farming in
terests Of the country had the slight
est respect. Manitesty, there has
been poor success in that line hereto
fo,e. Perhaps the salary is not large
enough, or the duties Of the position
rightly defined; but whatever the DIFF
hculty, is certainly advisable to let
our hgriculturlsts have the benefit of
a satisfactory Commissioner, before
giving them Cabinet officer.

much Of ignorance, so much of pas

made him the dominant party just then.
So he ventured q speech, with his revolver

The mans eyes blinked under Macy's re-

cooked pistol, though he could not use
a muscle, because one of his arms was held
by the table, while his other hand, with
bottle in it, was compressed in a vice-like
squeeze, that Saul Macy operated by simply
lifting the iron-rimmed trunk lid against it.

His veil was answered by another yell

CHAPTER XXI.
BLESS MONEY.

Yet money is, by no means, TO be cursed;
for, in good hands, money is blessed and
blessing.
Without money, Saul Macy might be "

burglar, instead Of on his parlor carpet,
surrounded with helps, under q skill

TO his senses.
Without that discovery of treasure, he
might have been turned out Of his poor home
in the stable when MeArdle sold the lot ,and
some more unfortunate owner, demolishing
the old ruin, would have discovered for
tune, OF, perhaps, been shot BY the burglar
In quest of it.
Money IS curse or blessing, according
TO the possession it falls into, and the use
made fit. Saul Macy, when he saw hinl-

A Big Trade in Mississippi River
Catfish. 2fa


Nearly ton Of catfish, all In one
lot. was shipped from Memphis q
couple OF days since direct to the
market at Cincinnati, for sale to
the ish-eating people OF that pork
fed community. The price paid to
the merchant here was four cents
per pound. A large traffic is carried
on in Mississippi cat and buffalo fish
here. much larger. indeed, than many
people have any idea of. The major
portion OF the stock comes from near
the mouth of White river, 200 miles
below, and about the mouth of Obion
and the Reelfoot Jake country, 100
miles or more to the north of us.
Numerous fishermen reside and gain
sustenance by their vocation at both
points referred to. while commission
merchants here dispose Of the hauIs
they make as fast as received. A
single fisherman from Obion river
came down one day last week with
2600 lbs. OF catfish. alive and kicking,
aud ranging in weight from 20 to rs
lbs. each. These were readily dis
posed of in less than two days at
from three to five cents per pound.
Game fish from the salt ocean come
to US daily by express. and are sold
by dealers at about eight cents per
pound. The products of our own
waters are not worth quite so much,
but it is always in good demand.

ally fond Of catfish, and it is often
the case that even a white-faced
lunch-hunter won't turn up his nose

How Mrs. Hayes Looks.

EroHl the C1uclnnaE commercial
Mrs. Hayes is of medium height and
squarely built. Her head and features
ars large. So is her waist, and her hands
and feet are in proportion. She has
magnificent suit of hair. It is SO heavy
and black, and is dressed so smoothly,
that in the daytime it looks dark and
precise in contrast with her clear olive
complexion. The most prominent fea-
ture of her face is the mouth, which is
large (the jaw is as broad as a man's) and
conspicuously Allied with strong white
teeth. The lips are particularly firm
and full, with the jaw indicating decis-
ion of character and an ardent tempera-
ment. The forehead is broad and smooth,
and the eyebrows are regular. Tho eyes
are large but deeply set, and are of that
peculiar gray which does not mean a
twilight depth of blue, or an azure light
of gray. They are decided gray, ad-
mitting of all the steel tints from that
of cold metal to the CLEAN and glitter of
the polished ore. In the glow of intense
feeling such as anima- cd her on Inaugural
tion Day and at her first public reception,
her eyes looked as black as night, and
they had a luster such as is rarely seen.
She made no effort to conceal her de-
light. @akss sgrsfs

Examination of the certificates of
members elect of the next House
has shown that there are l47 Demo.
crate and 137 Republicans whose
seats are not contested. There are
nine cases under contest, but leaving
them out of consideration. there will
be a democratic majority OF ten.
When these cases are disposed OF
according to their prima facie merits
there will in all probability be q
Democratic majority of at least
twelve. There is no fear that any

The Iribune's New Orleans speci-
al says: president Hays special
commission labored for four hours
yesterday with a delegation of the
leading business mon of the city,
with the object OF persuading them
to organize a movement to compel
politicians to form a consolidated
legislature of all the members in
both rival bodies, whose election is
conceded.
The members Of the commission
made earnest speeches the business
men were, however. unmovable.
They said that rather than run the
risk OF having to endorse Packard
as Governor, they would resist with
arms, SO as to make a military Gov
ernor necessary. To-day's expert
ment ends this compromise plan.
The commission may now try to
bring about aud adjustment on the
basis Of legislature made up from
the face OF the parish returns. This
is she only compromise that has the
least prospect of acceptance by the
conservatives,

How A City Absconded.

Baxter Springs, small place in
South eastern Kansas, has few peo-
pie but great expectations. People
were to come to it in thousands, and
the citizens wanted their "metropo-
lis'' fitted up in a manner worthy It's
future Importance. But there was
even less money in the place than
people. However, some ',benevo-
lent, public spirited capitalists were
found ready to advance money, and
for a year indulged themselves in
genuine municipal extravaganza.
The feast was ready, but expected
thousands failed to appear, Mean
while, the interest had to be paid
for the much-praised, ''public spiri
ted capitalists would have money.
Another year and the interest was
unpaid, and there was no money in
the treasury. The bondholders
brought suit and obtained Judgment,
but Baxter Springs appealed. These
rapacious robbers must be foiled at
any cost. A happy thought came.
The citizens were not individually
responsible except while they con-
tinued residents of Baxter Springs.
So they selected a convenient site
just outside Of the city limits, moved
their personal objects and what bull
dings they could, and migrated in q
body. Baxter Springs remains a
deserted city. and the first one to
become runaway debtor.

Asthma, Pneumonia, Group, sHemorrh-
ages and other fatal diseases may set in
Although 1t is true GERMAN SYRUP is
curing thousands of these dreaded dis
eases, yet it is much better to have 1t at
hand when three doses win cure you.
