Of this whole number only six
were "involuntary" cases. Many
singular instances occurred in the
history of Allegany county bank
ruptcy, a few of which appear on the
face of the above table. The only fe-
male bankrupt in the State, and per-
haps one of the few in the country,
came from Allegany county, and
here were made one or two applica-
lions by persons who were unable to
pay the initial fees and one or two
others failed to secure discharges.
Strangest of all, case No. and No.
S64 on the bankruptcy docket of the
district court came from Allegany
county, her citizens having been, we
are sorry to say, the first and the
last in the State to avail themselves
of the bankrupt law.

The disgraceful fact has been
brought out and Indignantly COM
mented uDon by at least one of the
Memphis papers that while the peo-
pie of the north, without regard to
age, sex, act, nationality or financial
ability, are daily responding in the
most liberal manner to the cries of
that city for help, not few of her
own citizens who are blessed with
great wealth and large capacity to do
good have conspicuously failed to do
anything, either by personal assis-
lance or pecuniary contributions, to
aid their suffering and dying friends
and neighbors.

Gen. Robert T0ombs in a recent
conversation describing how Georgia
had been ''regenerated" by the DEM
ocrats, candidly remarked: sour
only safety was in intimidation and
bribery. We had either to do that
or let the Commonwealth 60 to the
dogs. 1t was not what the Radicals
call the argument of the shotgun that
| used in my district, but the argu-
ment of the shotbag. 1t was unan-
swerable. An old negro named
Isaac helped me out wonderfully
when l first used the shotbag. Isaac
mad belonged to me, and he was
willing to do whatever | told him.
The style in which no dispensed
largess from the shotbag astonished
the Federal officials who were watch
ing the election, and brought about
wholesome and decided change in
the politics of TIE colored voter. |
never yet saw negro that wasn't in
favor of a sound currency and hard
money. But it's too early to be talk
ing about who saved the State. The
Republican party was defeated by
the man who stood at the polls early
and late and brought order out of
chaos with bribery. Yes, sir, bribery

President Hayes made an impor-
tant speech at st. Paul, Minnesota,
last week at the fair of the State Ag-
ricultural Society. 1t presents an
official statement of the national
finances, comparing them with their
condition at the close of the war,
showing the decrease of the public
debt, the decrease in the interest
paid, and that only one-sixth of the
bonds are now held abroad, whereas
in 1871 from eight hundred to one
thousand millions were owned by
foreigners. He also dwelt on the
balance being in favor of the United
States, and drew the happiest conclu
sions from that fact.

STRANGE CURE.-In one of our
Western Maryland exchanges we no
tice most extraordinary cure "for
hard times and scarcity of money"
by selling liquors slower for cash
than any other establishment in the
city," If this amt a queer way OF
saving money and lettering the
times, we are at a loss to know what
absurdity means. Spend your mon
ey for whisky, get drunk and starye
your wife and children, and have a

whisky. The idea is certaily origi

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Coughs and colds are comsumtive in their
tendency and if allowed to continue will
speedily become dangerous. Among the
early Indications of consumption is shortness
of breath, quickened pulse, slight fever pain
in the left side, exhausting paroxysms of
coughing, pain across the chest, loss offiesh,
hoarseness with night sweats alternating with
constipation, the voice becomes changed and
at times lost, expectoration at first is of a
frothy mucus and as the disease advances this
changes to yellow or grayish mucus and
then to a brown, rusty or bloody expectora-
ton. In every stage of pulmonary disease
from a common cough to the most dangerous
form of bronchial or tubercuar consumption,
''Sloans Bacto Phosphate of Lime Iron and
Cod Liver Oil is the very best and most eff
cient remedy ever discovered. The perfect
and permanent union of tho Lacto Phosphate
ofLime Iron Cod Liver Oil and Pyrophosphate
of Iron and the thorough manner in which
this nauseous tase is disguised renders it so
palatabe that the most delicate stomach can
retain it. The most valuable advantage it
possesses over all other preparations is its per-

A STRANGE SCENE.-A well dress
ed man walked into one of the sa-
looms the other day leading little
boy by the hand, and called for a
drink of whiskey. The little fellow
burst into tears and begged his faith
err not to drink, and the saloon keep
err, to his credit be it said, refused
him, whereupon the man jumped
behind the bar and seized bottle of
the article in question. The bar
keeper attempted to take the bottle
from him, and scuffie ensued, dur
ing which the liquor was spilled and
the stranger elected. A man of fam
lily who was present was so struck by
the conduct of the boy, that he left
the saloon and made an oath that he
would never drink another drop.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.

Through School Trustee Ferris we have
been enabled to examine the returns of the
School Census Marshal of Carson District No
l, for the present year. We think that all of
the readers of the MORNING APPEAL are suffi-
GENTLY interested in public school matters to
want at least the substance of the School
Marshal's returns, and for this reason we
give the subjoined figures: Number of boys
between and IS years old, 372; number of
girls between same age, $40, showing total
of both sexes between 6 and Is years old,
721; number of children under years of
age, 497; number between Is and q years
old, Sc; number of children under 81 years
born in Nevada, III; number between 4 and
6 born in Nevada, 145; number between
and attending public schools, 80; total num-
Der of children reported as attending public
schools, 1888; number of children reported as
private schools, 1856; number be-
tween and Is years old not attending any
school, so; number between 8 and ID attend
ing public school, 287, number between 8

ANNUAL MINT SETTLEMENT.

The annual settlement of the Carson Mint
for the fiscal year ending to-day, June 30, was
,.lade yesterday. The epitomized statement
furnished below makes an excellent showing
Tor the Carson Mint, creditable to the prin-
cipal operative officers, and even better than
presented at any former settlement. The
number of standard ounces gold delivered to
the Meter and Refner was 90 299 and 79S
one thousandths, valued at 81 ,679, 1896 %;
and in standard silver 4,551 1886 and 76-1O0
ounces, valued at S. POO, 900 70 The loss in
gold was II and 912 one thousandths standard
ounces, worth 1888 %; while the loss was
704 and 3 one hundreths standard silver
.,lnces, valued at $S19 % The wastage
allowed by law on the gold was so and 299
.,le thonsandth standard ounces, valued at
81 $40 SO. showing that the Meter and
R-tuer WAS within his legal limit on gold and
Il ,346 13 over. The legal allowance on
silver, for wastage, was 6,826 and 99-1OO
standard ounces, of the coin value of ST.
Ht+ -, showing this officer to have been
- ain the limit, with S. ,l24 SO to spare
The amount of gold bullion operated on
.lo'ing the year by the Coiner was 81 ,432 and
500 one thousandth standard ounces, valued
4, 81 ,70l ,07G %; and in silver 4 1873 737 and
81 one hundreth standard ounces, worth
d, 095, 256 IS. The actual loss in working
ne gold was 10 ounces and $50 one thous-
andth standard ounces of the value of |
S212 %; while the legal allowance for vast
age in silver WAS 73G and one hundreth stan
dard ounces, of the value of $500 As From |
the figures given here it will be seen that the |
Colners legal allowance in gold was $3.50 SO,
while his actual loss was but 1902 05. On
silver he was allowed 1888 70, his actual
o,s being but 1856 a.
The percentage Of losses on gold and silver,
both by the Meter and Refiner and the
Conner, are lower than during any former
fiscal year since the Mint has been in oper-
,tion, and the showing by the annual settle
nent is certainly remarkably good one.

London, June 29.-The Times, speaking of
the American crews which are to participate
in the four-oared races at Henley, on the
Fourth Of July, says the Showacaemettes
style is not such as we are accustomed to see
i'll England, as they dribble their oars along
he water and bucket forward, rowing a very
short stroke, and though opinions differ con-
siderably as to their speed, they at present
have not covered the course in anything
like good time. 1t is reported that they
rowed over Watkins course in 7 minutes and
III seconds but this is lake and it is
doubtful if they can at present compass the
Henley course against the stream under
minutes and half The average time taken
for the last FIVE years by the winners of the
Stewards Challenge Cup, has been minutes
and 80 seconds, but then some of the races
we're won very easily. The fastest time was
Z minutes and sc seconds.
