ITS INFLUENCE.
Inc chamber of commerce is recognized
as very important factor in the progress
OF st. Paul. While its powers are only adj
visory it has such weight of wealth and
influence behind 1t that its advice goes a
long way with the public function
aries to whom it makes sugges-
tonS. This great influence NAV be
without sufficient grounds, but it
Is nevertheless actual, and is so well under
stood that the general impression is that
when any one Is interested i'll some public
improvement or in some measure which he

sure to apply to the chamber of commerce
for its approval as to the council or county
board, and instances are even on record where
aldermen have figured to get their schemes
recommended by the chamber before spring.
ing them upon the council. OF course,
there are numerous instances where the
chamber of commerce and the civic authOri-
ties have been and are at variance, but the
fact remains that the expressed opinions of
that body have great weight with all the
various boards that manage the public at
fairs of this city and county.
OF course any successful attempt at max
ing the chamber of commerce a factor in
the politics of the city would in a great
measure destroy its influence and impair its
usefulness. The only serious endeavor to
do this was last spring, when in the heat of
the municipal campaign a party news
paper raised wolf, wolf cry of fraudu-
lent voting and astounding corruption in
the executive branches of the city govern
ment, and called meeting at the rooms of
the chamber Immediately after the morning
session. As the allegations, all and each
of which were afterwards retracted
by the paper which published
them, reflected seriously on the official
and personal character of some of
the most prominent members of the
chamber, who were also city officials, the
matter was brought up at the meeting and
a resolution passed after heated debate.
referring the whole subject to the grand
jury. Thus ANONYMOUSLY ended the only
attempt to transform the chamber of COM
merce into political machine.

VoodOuisn, Among Negroes.

Special to the Globe.
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 15.-There is q
widespread belief of voodouiSm among the
negroes of Atlanta. Hundreds of colored
people are held under thraldom by conjure
doctors, who vow terrible punishments
against their victims if they fail to come up
with their regular contributions. Ambrose
Belden, well do negro of this place,
who was under the influence of one
of these wretches. dismissed him. The
cOnjurer. revolting-Iool1ing spectacle,
turned upon Belden and shaking his finger
at him, said menacingly: For this your
entrails shall burn, and burn, and burn"
The next day Belken felt what he imagined
to be fire burning fiercely within him. He
has taken to his bed and his case battles the
skill OF doctors, who say he will surely die.
The other negroes gather at his house
nightly and make the air mournful with
their cries.

a Bathing sensation.

Atlantic City Cor Baltimore American.
The dresses of many of the bathers are
decidedly unique and attract general atten-
ton. While some make themselves con-
SpieuOus by the scarcity of clothing, others
attract observation by their style of bathing
The latest and decidedly the most success
full scheme was that adopted by a lady to-
day. Just about noon. when the beach
was crowded, she leisurely walked toward
the water, and when within few feet from
where the tide was encroachng OH the
sand, she deliberately sat down and began
taking of her shoes and stockings. She
was attired in the height of fashion, and
her clothing fitted to perfection. When she
had barred her feet and neither limbs she
quickly raised her dress to some distance
above her knees, and after turning back
some lace work attached to another gar
ment, walked out into the surf, the observed
of all observers. The bathers stopped
and watched her SO intently that they for
got the waves that threatened to lift them
off their feet, while the spectators fiocked
to the edge of the water. The fair bather
was apparently unaware of the excitement
she created for she waded about in a con-
tented sort of way, never looking to the
right or left, and always keeping her cloth
ing at an elevation of three feet above tide
water. When she had had enough she re-
turned to the beach, sat on the dry sand,
placed her wet feet on piece of paper she
had drawn from her pocket, and proceeded
to dry her limbs with her stockings by pat
ting them gently, and in such way as not
to wet them too much. She then drew on
the stockings, fixed the carriers (which were
very Handsomely, drew back the lace work
above alluded to and put on her CATERS,
Then she arose and quickly walked away.
The ladies who witnessed this remarkable
scene turned their heads, but the gentlemen
stood their ground bravely and did not
finch once. Some whose wives were near
by are said to have received curtain lectures
when they reached the hotel.

river was discussed at considerable length
at the meeting. and Arson Northup, who
was present, gave his views and estimate
of the probable cost of placing his boat,
the Ans NOrthup," on the Red river. lie
proposed to carry the machinery overland
from Crow Wing, where the boat then was,
to Slayenne. about eighty-five miles. ana
to build hull on the Red river. The cost
of the boat, completed, on the Red river, he
thought, would be from So. 900 to So, 600. ae-
cording to size and finish. During the dis
cuSsiOn of the project Gov. Marshall spoke
at length OF the importance OF opening the
navigation of the Red river. and thus ar
fOrding facilities for the settlement OF the
country upon which st. Paul, and Mime
sofa in general. depended for their CONNER
cial development. He proposed bonus Oh
81. 900 to be offered by the chamber of COM
merce as an inducement for an Immediate
execution of the plan, which he said. with
out any bonus. would abundantly repay the
enterprise. The meeting finally adjourned
till the next Saturday night, when long
report was read i'm favor of the Red river
scheme. and resolutions were adopted TO
raise n bonus of 81, 900 to carry out North
ups idea.
This early action of the chamber is char
acteristic of that body. That was the first
time the chamber determined to raise bO-
nus. Since 1859 that body has had occa-
sion to aid in raising good many, some of
which were of such size and importance as
to make this first one look quite small, but
really, in those hard times. 81, 900 was a
large sum, equal probably. to $50, 600 now.
1t shows also that the trade and business of
the Red river country was deemed to be of
great importance. In 1859 the cham
Der of commerce was a useful and
live inStitatiOn. 1t held a number
of public meetings in 1858 and 1859, which
were mainly for the purpose of calling at
tentiOn 10 the Northern overland route to
the Pacific and aiding the placing of boat
ON Red river. Addresses were made by
j. W. Taylor and others. The proceedings
OF some of these meetings were published
in document form, and did much good.
MOBILES wagon expedition to the Rocky
mountains, in 1859, was also one of the re-
suits OF its efforts. Afterwards, in 1862, it
procured by its efforts the government ap-
preparation, by Capt. FiSk'S first overland
expedition 10 the gold fields of Idaho,
which was repeated again in 1868 and 1864,
and did much to call national attention to
the upper overland route, which gradually
paved the way for our Northern Pacific
railroad.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Items From the Monthly Treasury State-
ment-The Revenue Receipts Considera-
bly, Below the Estimates.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2.-The re.
duction in the public debt during the
month of May, according to the revised
form Of statement, amounted to So, $780,
1888. The total debt yesterday, less cash
in the Treasury, is 81, 494, 39l, oil, OF
which 81 1,260, IA, 4G2 is interest bearing.
The Treasury now holds balance of
SlI5,S1O, 533 in gold coin and bullion and
S6O,257, ,Sl2 in silver, against 100000
gold and $54, 100000 silver on May 1st.
The Treasury has now $50 093,O2
against $685., ,42l reported month ago.
Customs receipts for May 1892, ,773, or
nearly as much as in May year ago.
Internal revenue receipts l2,360,66l, q
falling off of nearly $2,000,000 compared
with last year. Altogether the receipts
from all sources for the eleven months
of the current year aggregate $3.50, 433,-
760, which is about S26, 100000 less
than for the corresponding eleven months
of the last fiscal year.
Indications now point to total reve-
nue. during the present fiscal year OF
S3lS,0OO, 900 or $320,0O0,0 900, which
would be $4,000, 900 or $4,000, 900 less
than Secretary McCulloch's estimates
sent to Congress last December. Mr..
McCuloch estimates revenue OF $780,
900, 900 from customs; Sll5, 100000 from
internal revenue, and $4,000, 900 from
miscellaneous sources. 1t now looks as
though customs receipts for the year will
reach about $500 900; internal rev.
enue about $1l2,000,000 and miscei-
laneous receipts about $27, 900, 900.

The Remains of the Eminent Frenchman
Laid to Rest In the Pantheon-A Terrible
Crush of Spectators.
PARIS, June 1.-The streets in the
vicinity of the Arc De Triomphe, where
Victor Hugo's body lies, were thronged
all night After midnight rain fell, but
this did not apparently diminish the
crowd Toward morning great deal OF
reyelry was INDUCED in; men and women
singing on the pavement5 In all dlrec-
tions. Good humor prevailed, and police
interference went no further than occa-
sional warnings to some knots of roys-
tererS who were little noisy. Shortly
before ten this morning prominent per-
sons directly connected with the cere-
monies of the day began to arrive. Pre-
vious to movement of the procession,
speeches were made. These were inter-
rupted by voices from the crowd, but the
interruptions were few and of a charac-
ter not calculated to excite the passion
OF Anarchists present. At 20 pre-
cisely the procession started for the
Pantheon. The day is warm, the sun
shining brilliant. AS the cortege moves
the throng falls into line without demon
stration and everything thus far is quiet
and orderly.
Noox.-Just before the procession left
the Arc de Triomphe few persons who
attempted to carry red flags were arrest
ed. This was done SO quietly by the po-
lice that the incident was not noticed by
most of those present. Up to this hour
no disturbance has occurred.
The funeral procession, owing to the
almost unprecedented throng which
lined the streets, moved slowly. The
catafalque bearing the remains arrived
at the Pantheon at two O'Clock, ana
the ceremonies were begun at once.
They proceeded without interruption.
The dense mass of people in the Pam
theon listened 10 the addresses Win
respectful attention, and order was
maintained without any effort on the
part of the authorities. The ceremo-
nies were concluded at three O'Clock. A
large number of persons are reported to
have been severely hurt during the prog
ress of the funeral. At many points
on the route spectators became panic
stricken at the fearful crush, and III
their efforts 10 free themselves many
woman and children were injured.
