The Boston International Exhibition,
which closed yesterday, does not seem to
have been a success. The managers of
the enterprise and the exhibitors have
become quite hostile in their feelings
towards each other. The exhibitors say
they were not allowed to unpack their
own goods, and that the officials charged
exOrbitant prices for that service, in
al litlon to the other rents and fees
assessed against them. The BOsto-
mans seem TO have gotten the art
of scientific gOugng down to a
fine point, and if the assertions of
the exhibitors are true, the Hub might as
we'll abandon the idea OF holding anything
like worlds fair again in the near fl-
ture. However, we have had only one
side Of the case, and probably il the ex-
hlbitors had obtained better results from
the displays. they would not have been so
much disgruntled at the charges.

Not the least prominent question now
before the people of Virginia is proposed
amendment TO the constitution taking
away from the Legislature the power 10
remove disabilities incurred by dueIists.
In nearly all the States there are laws
imposing severe penalties against duel
ing, and in almost every one a conviction
oil the offense, either as principal or ac-
cessory, carries with it a disquali-
ication, taking away the right to hold
Office and vote. In case death results from
duel the slayer is also declared to be
guilty of murder. Owing to the fact that
large number OF influential men favor
the code, convictions in such cases are
almost unknown, and prosecutions ex-
trUmely rare. Consequently the law i'm
posing penalties as well as disqualifica-
tons is dead letter.
A few weeks ago we alluded to the Vir-
ginia law, which required as part of the
oath OF each official an asseveration that
the afhant had not been concerned in any
duel either as principal or second. This
law, rigid as 1t appeared, proved ineffec-
toal, for the disabilities were invariably
removed by special act of the Legislature.
Duellng, however, seems to be now rap
ldly losing ground, even in Virginia, and
1t IS quite likely that the power of relief
now vested in the Legislature will he
taken away.
Within the past few months that part of
the people of the Old Dominion who are
fond OF dueling sensations have been dis
appointed in at least two prominent
instances. One was the McCarthy-Ma-
hone affair, in which it was considered
certain that the latter would challenge
the former for his strong, if not elegant,
denunciation OF the Readjuster boss, and
the cartoons which he published there
with placing Malone and Riddle
berger in such a position as to excite
ridicule and contempt for them. No notice,
| however, was taken of the matter
by the parties on whom the ''code" de-
wolves the duty of taking the initiative.
Malone. having been known heretofore as
the ''game cock of the valley" his con-
duct in this case has excited great aston
ishment. The other case was that of
Richard A. Wise, the Readjuster Superin-
tendent of the Eastern Lunatlc Asylum.
He was recently arraigned in a pecu-
liarly severe manner by Mr.. r. T..
Armistead, and as he also belonged to a
well-known fighting family, ''meeting"
was confidently expected. Wise has
published card ending all conjecture as
to the course he would pursue, by an
nsuncing that he would take no notice of
any remarks that may have been or might
be made about him. He shows plainly
that he entertains fear that the Legisla-
ture would not go to the trouble OF re-
moving disabilities, especially in his case.
Since the failure of the bill, which
it has been customary to pass with
out opposition, to remove such disa-
billties, though there have been sew
eral "affars" growing out of the late
campaign, which would ordinarily have
led to duels, no challenge has been passed.
1t is evident now that the duelists are be-
! coming discouraged, and there IS little
doubt that the constitution will be so
amended as to almost put an end to the
practice of dueling in Virginia.

Senator Jenes, of Florida, day or two
ago, in the Senate, appeared in the role of
defender of the pilots. He declared that
if any class in the country deserved more
protection than another, it was that COM
posed Of hard-working pilots, who ''fol-
lowed their dangerous calling for the
mere pittance allowed them by our laws"
The Senator said he never saw a repre-
sentative of the pilots in Washington
asking for legislation from Congress. and
he was also sure that the pilots were not
the men to do that sort of thing. If the
Senator does much more talking of this
kind it would not be surprising il he was
presented with gold headed cane.

The reports that have been in circula-
ton for some weeks that the great ex
plOrer, Henry N. Stanley, is to be re-
moved from his Congo Empire by the Bel
gian-African Society, appear to have
taken definite shape, and it is reported
that he is to be superseded by Gen.
"Chinese" Gordon. The efforts of the
company to make the world believe that
its objects are mainly humanitarian. and
that its efforts will be principally devoted
10 the adjustment of the slave
trade In Central Africa, will
not be likely 70 succeed. 1t
is gigantic commercial en-
terprise, and may in It's results far outstrip
those Of the famous East India Company
which added a great empire to the British
crown. The leading nations are al
ready watching the Congo speculation
with jealous eyes, and little Belgium can
hardly hope to mOnOpOlize the trade of
the Interior of the great African CONT
nent. Just what Stanley's shortcomings
are has not yet been fully stated to the
public.

at the fact that the Legislature of that

shape them so the Republicans can only
hope to elect five out of the twenty-one
Congressman next fall. It hurts them TO

that worthless dogs shall be taxed out of

farmers in the various counties to support
for the next Legislature only candidates
who will pledge themselves to vote for
such a dog tax as Will rid the State of
worthless dogs. Farmers do not engage
in sheep raising in many parts of the
State because they are afraid the dogs
would destroy their fiocks.

How Watch Cases are Made.

It is a fact not generally known that the
james Bose Gold Watch Gases really con.
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4S to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t IS economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.

THE AUTHORIZED PICTORIAL

L III az LAOIGIHED TIL OhIAL
Lives of Cleveland and Hendricks.
Announcement is made of the rapid
completion of q Pictorial work COM
prising the Lives of the Presidential
Candidates Oh the Democratic ticket,
written by the veteran author, Col.
Frank Triplett, and published by n.
ID. Thompson & Co., st. Louis, Mo-,
and New York. This work is sold
through agents exclusively. 1t is de-
signed, not only to serve the popular
taste and want in giving, exhaustive
y, the facts in the boyhood and man
hood of the Candidates-their private
Lives and Public Services-but to
have more enduring interest than
the ordinary Campaign book. To
this end the publishers have engaged
on the work corps of skilled designers
and engravers to elegantly and pro-
fusely illustrate the scenes ard Incl
dents in the lives of these eminent
men, now so prominently before the
people. Personal anecdotes and remi-
niscences will constitute leading and
certainly q most entertaining and il :
structive feature of this timely work,
Col. Tripett has marked ability,
and enjoys especial distinction as a
Biographical writer. While exhaust
i've in the recital of tacts, his powers of
analysis, and his keen insight into the
philosophy of events and measures,
give him special prominence among
American writer's of personal history.
1t is not too much to say that he is
better prepared for the work in
hand than any other American
author.
The books from his pen, of which
several have been published, have met
the popular taste and been more than
ordinarily successful. They have given
him high rank among American
authors, and the public men of the
day. This has given him unsurpassed
facilities for procuring all the materi
al for the work now in hand. AS d
book of fascinating interest, beauty
and profuseness of illustration, and q
omprehensiveness'o of fact, it will com
mend itself to eoery o'ter.
To the book agent this rare combi
nation of authentic history, Pretoria
illustration and brilliant authorship
will at once suggest the universal de
mand it will create, and also the ad
vantages in interest it has over the
ordinary Campaign book, and the
grand opportunity it offers for profit
able agency. We advertise it il
another column.
