ing press. is driven by the subtle element.
Scores OF sewing machines are in operation
as well as models of railways, the latest
application of ephonograph, telephone
microphOne, etc. Electric lights by the
thousand make the building at nlght DIS
bright as day.
The progress of the electrical science IS
the most remarkable example oil Ihe III
ventiye genius and spirit of research OF
modern times. Five years ago electric
LIGHTING was considered almost an 1mpos-
sibiIity. and its successful application in
nractice was doubted no longer than three
years ago, when extensive experiments
were first made at Paris and on the
Thames embankment in London. Now
nearly every city in the civilized world
has either substituted the electric light
in lieu of gas, or is preparing to do so.
Probably there has been more hard
study and patient, earnest work done D!
those who have brought the electric science
I'D TO its present state of development
than by any other class of experiment
ers the world ever knew. Yet they DO not
propose to pause in their labors, for thelr
work is only begun. thousands Oh Ihe
brightest, most industrious men of the
age are now devoting their lives to cleo
tricaI research and discovery, and they
will have hundreds added to their number
every year.
The field for discovery and invention
seems to be inexhaustible, and the ap-
plications Of electricity in the arts and
sciences and in every vocation appear to
be innumerable. 1t is almost enough to
make one giddy to try to imagine what
revolution every department of business
and life, as well as in the habits of the
people of the world, may be made by
means Of electricity within the next ten
or twenty years. Verify, the more one
thinks of the wonders of electricity, the
greater its wonders appear.

The elOpement of Victoria, the daughter
of the millionaire Morosini, of Yonkers,
New York, with her fathers coachman, a
fellow named Schelling, caused more of a
sensation in New York and vicinity than
the earthquake, which occurred some
weeks ago, did. The latest account is
that the old man MOrosini intended to ac-
cept Schelling as a sOn-in-law and en-
deavor to make something out of him, but
that he discovered that he was schemer
and a scamp. and that his capacities were
such that it was not possible to
make anything but cOachman out OF
him. A friend of MOrosini says that
schelling had hardly got warm in his
place as cOachman before he began max
ing inquiries about his employers will.
He found that Morosini had made none.
"Schelling got Victoria under his control
by suggesting that she have saddle horse
and teach it to like her by eating sugar
from her hand in the stable so he could
court her, and then tried to kill Morosini
bv causing the carriage to tip over three
times. Morosini was badly hurt each
time. He would have forgiven Victoria
when she came home on Sunday if she had
not been so defiant and heartless. She
sat in the house with her watch in her
hand. and insisted on leaving in half an
hour. as she said her husband had
told her that was as long as he would
allow her to remain. The next day she
was allowed to stay ten minutes, and on
Tuesday only nine. This arbitrary con-
duct on the part of Schelling enraged the
old man. He felt also that additional
disgrace had been brought on the family
by Schelling stopping In the village in a
low beer saloon, instead of a tirst-class
house. Still the old man determined, if
there was anything in Schelling, to do
the square thing by him. He decided to
appoint a kind of Civil Service Commits
sion. and subject the cOachman to an eX-
animation to ascertain if he was qualified
to engage in any kind of business. This
commission consisted of Washington
f. Conner, Gen. Coils and Mr.. Can
toni. They called upon the couple at
Warmers saloon on Monday and looked
the Young man over. Victoria introduced
them. don't know what questions they
asked the youth, but 1 do know they were
disguised with him, and reported that
Sehelling was born a coachman, and
would never be good for anything else.
That settled it with MOrosini. He de-
cided to have no more to do with either
Victoria or her husband. He has abso-
Iutely cast them off forever; but guess
if Victoria meets with hard luck, her
father will open his heart to her if she
comes TO him alone. Her clothes and
jewelry are being packed to be sent to
her, and she will not even be told where
the family are. They will soon leave
Yonkers, never to return. Reconciliation
is now out Of the question"

Cotton Consumption North and
South.

The New York Commercial and Findn-
cidI Chronicle gives some interesting
figures respecting the manufacture OF
cotton goods for the year ending sept. l.
The total number of spindles in the
country at that date was estimated to be
10. 2OO. 600. Of this number u, 100, 900 were
in the North and 100000 in the south.
In 1888 the number in the North was
II, SOO, 900, and in the South 100000. In
1882 the number in the North was ll,32o'-
900, and in the South 6S0,OOO. From these
figures it appears that the increase during
the last year was greater in the South
than in the North.
For the year 1SS3-S4 the Northern and
Southern mills took 1889, 1913 bales. or
this amount Northern mills took 1,555, l63
bales and the Southern mills 1874, 900 bales.
The consumption of the Northern mills
was not quite equal to their takings. The
following figures show the consumption OF
Northern and Southern mills for the last
four years: In 1SS0-S1 Northern mills
consumed 1,65O,OOO bales and Southern
mills 2O5,OO bales. In 1SSl-S2 Northern
mills consumed /, lbs, 206 bales and South
ern mills 23S bales. In 1928 Northern
mills consumed !, 730, 600 bales and South
ern mills 331, 900 bales, and in 1S83-o4
Northern mills consumed 1,643,5l7
bales and Southern mills 1900
bales. 1t will be noticed that
the consumption OF Northern mills last
year was less than it was the year before,
while that Of Southern mills was 5000
bales greater. The increase in the con-
sumption of Southern mills, however, was
not in proportion to the increase in the
number of their spindles.
Although there has been steady in
crease in the number of spindles, North
and South, for number of years, there
has been a gradual decrease in the
amount of our exports Of cotton manufac-
! lures, In 1881 the value of these exports
was S13,571, 2S7; in 1882, $13,212, 979; IN
1888, 81, 90, 145, and in 1884, 81, S55, 2l1.
The year, of course, in each case Is I'M
derstOod as ending June 80.
In striking contrast to our own exports
of cotton manufactures are those OF India.
They have steadily increased from 3d.
500. 900 in 1876 to $14,500,OO0 in 1884. In
commenting on the growth of India's ex-
ports the Chronicle says: "While our
foreign shipments of cotton goods were
81, 5OO. 900 more than India's in 1876, now
they are nearly S2,5OO,OOO less. We will
add that India enjoys the advantages of
free trade, and is able therefore to COM
pete with Great Britain in the markets of
the world. The United States prefers a
different policy and takes the cOnse-
quences. And this, too, Notwithstanding
we grow cotton of the best quality, have
as perfectly appointed factories as there
are in the world, use more intelligent la
Dor, and therefore by the yard pay no
higher wages, and have customers which
are so near that they can be more cheaply
reached by us than by other producers"
What stronger argument can there be
than is here presented in favor of a tariff
for public purposes exclusively?
