in the list show decrease, as compared Silh
the corresponding week last year, and in a
number OF these cases the decrease is only
very slight. New York still shows a consid-
cradle loss, which is the main disturbing in
fueuce at work on the aggregate. Outside
of New York, in the country at large, there
is marked gain of nearly Eve. per cent.
due largely TO the collapse of the Chicsso

an increase of 372 per cent, and brighter
prospects regarding the VIII, at crop, which

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, June 25.-Staie Treasurer
AHA Thomas says that under the contract
with the Bank-note Company, the Funding
Board will not begin to receive blank bonds
in time to Issue them before July 18th. The
indications were that all five and ak per
cent. bonds Of the State dest proper would
come 10 at an early date, and there were
favorable indications that the holders of
other bonds would gradually forward securi-
ties to be. funded at fifty -aud-.hree, the
specializing holders who mad probably bought
the bonds at the highest rate excepted.
The latter would doubtless be 10th to
accep. the terms proposed. The fact that
these bonds may come in slowly will be for
tunate for the State, and especially should
the holders OF the new issue by msndam
force collectors to receive new issue 10 full
for all taxes, instead of one-fiflh per annum
until paid, as provided by the last session Of
The Legislature. Such a course of action ou
the part OF the taxpayers would have the
effect TO cripple the State in paying promptly
the interest as it falls due, the taxes for
lSS3-84 having already been fixed by the
General Assembly.

A New Advertising Dodge.

Denver, COL, ia highly senss-
tionsl report was in circulation today
that an attempt was made to poison
Modjeska at the Opera House last night.
1t now trAnspires that it was caused BY q
blunder of the property man at the thea
ire. When Barrett was here some two
months ago preparation of phosphorus
was used to give the face Of the Ghost in
Hamlet" luminous appearance. Last
night in the play of ''Juliet" the prop
erty man gave Modjeska this phiai in
mistake for one containing a sleeping
potion. AS soon as the cork was re-
moved the liquid igni.ed and this of
course prevented serious results. No one
for a moment suspected that it was any,
thing more than a blunder, until the
matter was reported to Modjeska's hus-
band, Count Bozents. who seemed very
incredulous and stated that several at
tempts had been made upon her life.

Oh, MyBack!
That's a commonex express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and MAX
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: "Mywife
has for many years been trou-
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her SEX. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Biters,
and 1 can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT
TIERS. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.

A CASE of interest to all newspaper men
has Just been righteously decided in New
JERSEY. John H. Cook conducts newspa-
Der In the town of Red Bank. Some time
ago he called attention in his paper to The
fact that the health of the town was meL-
aced and suffering by reason of the neglect
of ordinary sanitary precautions. An ac-
tion for libel was brought against him,
the complaint alleging that these publica-
tlons In the Red Bank Register had dam
aged business, real estate, etc, in the town.
On Friday Judge Walling directed the jury
to bring in verdict for the defendant.
sThe Indictment" he said. "was based on
the idea that il is criminal offense for the
editor of a newspaper to publish articles by
means of which merchants, hotel keepers,
ets., were injured financially. There can
be no dispute by counsel on either side that
the health of place is legitimate matter of
discussion. 1t seems to me there can be no
libel where the editor of newspaper pub
fishes the truth, whether 1t was injurious in
financial results or not. 1t does not appear
to the court that these alleged statements
are untrue.n
