mo- FORCED Papers There

New YoRK, Nov. l3.-In reply to
questions about the report that forged
papers from Portland, Ore. had been
presented at the Second National bank of
this city, the cashier to-day said "No
forged paper has been presented here,
The only correspondence we have had
with the Portland Savings bank was yes
terday, when a prominent picture dealer
of this city came in and said that Frank
DeKum had gwen him an order for some
pictures. lie said that Mr.. DeKum
gave the Portland Savings bank as his
reference, and he asked me to inquire if
he had any authority to refer to them.
We made inquiry, and in reply received a
dispatch that Mr.. DeKum was vice presi
dent Of the bank and fully responsible.

Va N Endeavor. to Colombo.
lQuain's Dict ona y

During the historical period the races
of Europe have in vain endeavored to
c~olonize the valley of the Nile, but
they have not been able to propagate
their species, and have died away,
leaving the valley Of the Nile to its
ancient inhabitants. Their children
cannot withstand the heat of summer.
On the northeastern shore of Africa,
the Algeria of the present, history pre-
sents the same record. The Romans
and the Visigoths occupied its plains for
centuries, continually recruiting their
colonies from tho mother countries; and
yet, except in the mountains, all trace
of their presence has disappeared. They
could not rear their children so as to
occupy the land of the Arabs.
What heightened periods of time
must have elapsed to so profoundly
modify races deriving their origin from
a common p~arentage, that they can no
longer live and propagate their species
in the same climates

Test Of a Good Newspaper.

Judged even by the ordinary stand

paper that has in il the earning cdplc

the newspaper that discusses the quas

"When the great American people
get to understand, said the proprietor
o. a slipper factory, that most of the
corns aud bunions that make them mis-
cradle have been caused by wearing
shoes, they'll quickly begin to wear
slippers. Why don the newspapers
agitate this subject Here's a chance
tor them to allay much human misery.
There's hardly any ache to which man
is liable that will give him more con-
ceHtrated pain than a tough bunion or
a tad corn. Now, all this misery may
be overcome If the sufferers would only
wear slippers instead of shoes. Think
what n blessing that would be TO hu-
maniiy,
o more corns, nc more bunions in
the world would mean happier tempers,
Then people would not DO so cross, and
would become moro indulgent toward
one another. They would grow cheer
full, and eheerfulness, you know, adds
10 longevity Thus, you see, the prac-
tieo Of wearing slippers not only in
ereases ones enjoyment, but tends 10

King Corn Koring Cotton?

Before the civil war cotton was re
garded as our most important national
agricultural product. So large a por.
ton of it was exported that in great
part it paid for our imports of mer-
chandise, hence it was said that cotton
was king. But although still one o.
our most important national products,
it is surpassed in value of late years not
only by wheat and corn, but by hay.
/ asst year, the value of our cotton crop
was about sees, 600, 900, that of the
wheat crop was $3.50, 600, 600, while the
value of corn summed up the enormous
total of 1910, 900, 900.

Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Silt is stated
az the Land Ogice that under the pres
ept practice of that office when the
public lands within township are
opened to entry, through the filing of
plats of survey, there was a rush Of
spectators and land -grabbers, who
often succeeded IN securing the best
lands, to the great Injury of bona fide
settlers. Moreover, this class of per-
sons were able frequently to learn
when the platS of survey were to DO
received in advance of the settlers,
who were placed at a disadvantage,
To correct this abuse as far as possible
the Commissioner of the LanS Office
has issued the following instructions
to land officers:
Hereafter when an approved plat
OF the survey of any township is trans
mitted to you by the Surveyor Gem
eral, you will not regard such plats as
officially received at and in your office
until the following regulations have
been complied with:
81. You will forthwith post a no
tice in conspicuous place in your Of
fee, specifying the township that has
been surveyed, and stating that the
plat or survey will be filed in your
office on q day to be fixed by you and
named in the notice, which shall be
not less than thirty days from the
date of such notice, and that on aud
after such day you will be prepared TO
receive applications for the entry Of
lancs in such towns.
2. You will also send a copy of such
notice TO the postmasters o. the post
offices nearest the land, and a copy
to each clerk Of court of record in
your district, with the request that
the same be conspicuously posted IN
their respective offices.
8. You will furnish the public press
IN your district with copies of such as
a matter of news.
You will give such further pub
licitv of the matter in answer TO IN
quiries Qor which you will charge no

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.

about ch arm anshtp.
st. Louis Republican.


A Washington telegram says:
There is to be SO little of contest in
the reorganization OF the house this
wear that it is a subiec. seldom dis
cussed, but now and then gossip turns
20 consideration of Mr.. Carlisle's
course in making up bis committees,
and during the past few days chance
seems to have stirred up considerable
tsI, about the chairmanships. There
viii necessarily be good many
changes for the reason that no less
tban twenty>six of the committee
chairman in the last congress will not
be members of this, as follows: Mess
rs. BucKnor, Rlsecrans, Cox, Nancy,
Favor, Bagley, Warner of Tennessee,
Stockslaeer, Cassidy, Hopkins, Vance
Hewitt. OF Alabama, Muldrow, Harde-
man. Davis of Missouri, Thompson,
Morse, Morgan, Young, Covington,
Moulton, Scales, Mutchler, Slocum,
Eaton. and Hardy. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Carlisle will appoint most Of
the old chairmen who have been res
elected, and in some cases the custom
of appointing the second member OF
the committee chairman will doubt
irss be followed. In following this
nractice O'Neill would become chair
man of the committee on labor
and Clardy of reform in the civil ser
vice. ONeill by this promotion would
secure the position TO which he is en-
titled as the creator Of the labor COM
mittee, and the advancement would
no doubt be gratifying to him and to
his constituents. How Clardy would
be pleased with the craftsmanship of
the civil service reform committee is
quite another question. One thing is
certain, however, that under his lead
ership the committee would never
prove a conservatory of hnical and
fanciful reform. Whatever rcforCs
it would undertake would be of j.
bust type, calculated 10 insure good
and capable democrat an equal show
with the officehoiding republicans oli>
garchy, which the so>called reform
begun under republican rule certain
ly does not admit. Even If there is
no general reconstruction of the com
mittees it will be seen that the
changes in the membership of the
house will give Mr.. Carlisle any
important vacancies 10 fill, and as
places on the ways and means and ap-
preparations committees are as much
sought for as cbairmanships, he will
have a great deal to do even if he does
no more than fill vacancies.
Four members of the ways and
means committee of the last house
are not members of this. OF these
the democrats are: Blackburn of Ken
tuckey, who was elected to the senate;
Hurd of Ohio, who was left at home,
and Jones of Arkansas, who was also
promoted to the senate. The only
vacancy in the republican member
ship will be the place held by Russell
Of Massachusetts,, who was not lected.
This will probably go TO Mckinley Of
Ohio, he having been a member of it
in three congresses already, and will
probably get his former place next to
Judge Kelley.
OF the appropriations committee
seven members, Ellis, Hancock, Hut
chius, Follett, Keifer, Horr, and
Washburn, returned to congress.

PARNELL COMING IN JANUARY
The Irish and Bis Lieutenants VIII
attend the League Convention.
Chicago Herald

The many admirers in this city of
Mr.. Parnell, the Irish leader, will be
glad TO hear that he is coming to this
country once again, and that he, to-
setheF with q strong delegation OF his
colleagues, will be in attendance upon
the third annual convention Of the
Irish National League in America, to
be he'd at Central Music Hall, at
Chicago, January next. The intelli
gence that Mr.. Parnell was coming
was first promulgated in an address to
the league issued few days ago from
the office of the president and secre-
tary at Lincoln, Neb., which reads as
follows:
Pursuant to resolution of National
Committee of the League passed at
meeting held in Chicago in August the
executive committee has been IN com
munication with Mr.. Parnell With a
view to fixing a date for our national
convention that would suit Mr.. Par
nelps convenience and that of such
other delegates as may be sent over to
represent the home organization. We
nave now the pleasure to inforn you
that the third annual convention of
the Irish National League OF America,
10 be held in Central Music Hall, on
Wednesday and Thursday, January
20 and 81, 1886, will be attended by
Mr.. Parnell and strong delegation
OF his colleagues. We earnestly trust
that every branch of the league will
be fully represented thereat. We are
now approaching a most momentous
crisis in the long struggle for lreland's
national rights, and no man Or woman
OF Irish birth or blood-no true lover
OF liberity-who feels sympathy for
oppressed kindred or love OF dear old
motherland should fail TO lend help
ing hand to secure that victory which
seems now on the very eve Of accom-
phshment Our people at home are
manfully dong their part despite
every kind of coercion and terror
ISM. Let US do ours, and show Eng
land that the bold and manly, yet
wise and prudent, policy of Mr.. Par
nell commands the universal and
hearty approval and support of the
IRISH race at home and abroad. Ali
branches and societies affiliated with
me league that have subscribed regular
Ques Tor current term or have contri-
outed to the Parliamentary fund
sun equivalent to the amount of dues
snail be entitled to representation, and
me eaSls Of representation shall be as
follows: One delegate TO every fifty
members in good standing, provided,
however, that in country districts,
Wnere the number of fifty members
can not be easily reached, any number
rom % to so shall be entitled to one
delegate. As our time is short let our
schon be prompt and effective. Let

That success inspires envy and dishonest COM
petition is well known. The force OF this must
often have occurred to q Baltimore house which
is known everywhere. We refer TO the Charles A
Nogeler Company, the excellence of whose goods
the magnitude OF whose enter prise and the in
egrity of whose business dealings are recognized
throughout the commercial world. Time and
again they have been compelled to defend their
rights against those who sought to wrest from
them the legitimate fruits OF their labor and enter
prise. Last year in London, England, an un-
scrupulous dealer sought to place a so-called St
Dayids oil ON the market on the strength of the
great popularity OF st. Jacobs Oil. Thanks TO
English law, the High Court Of Justice promptly
issued a perpetual injunction against defendant
and imposed heavy damages. This decision was
really an Endorsement of the action Of American
Courts for some years ago the United States Court
at Cleveland, Ohio issued like order in a similar
case and awarded the Baltimore house $1,000
damages Th9 Charles A. Vogeler Company has
again been called upon to defend its rights and
has recently instituted suit in the Circuit Court Of
Baltimore City for injunction and damages. No
doubt the best evidence OF the marvellous efficacy
of st. Jacobs Oil as the Conqueror of Pain is 10 be
found in the many unsuccessful attempts to
trade upon its reputation
Referring to the merits of another valuable
remedical agent placed upon the market by this
enterprsing house, a Medical Journal says: We
admire the stand taken by numerous eminent
physicians and Members of the Boards Of Health
OF such cities as Brooklyn Philadelphia and Bal
tmore In changing the mode OF treatment Of
Coughs and Colds, and publicly endorsing and
adopting Red Star Cough Cure dhe remedy re
ferred to abOvel because 10 is efiicacious free
from dangerous ingredients and without morphia
or opium. Another feature which commends it
Is It's popular price, twenty-five cents thus
placing within the reach Of all a pure, prompt
and safe cure for throat and lung diseases.
