TWO HUNDRED PER IsH.
Frightful Loss OF Life on a Burning
Steamer.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 21.-The steamer
Vera, plying on the river Volga near Sara
toy, capital of the province of Saratov in Rus
sia, burned to-day and 200 lives were lost
She belonged to the Samolet company and
was bound for Astrachan, up the river. The
fire was caused by the fall of gang lamp in
the saloon. The woodwork was united and
all efforts to quench the flames were unavail-
ing. The passengers, all of whom were in
bed at the time the fire broke out, rushed to
the deck as soon as the alarm was given and
many OF them, panic-stricken, sprang over
board. The captain ordered the vessel to be
run ashore. This was done, but while the
bow became imbedded in the bank the stern
remained In deep water and the passengers
were still Obliged to swim ashore. MANY
persons lost their lives by being struck by
tables and chairs. which were thrown from
the vessel to aih the struggling swimmers in
the water. Owing to the failure to stop the
engines, water was churned mp BY the wheels,
rendering more difficult the task of the res
cuers, who put out from shore to save the
drowning passengers.

Spencer, of the Baltimore 4 Ohio, said to-day:
LAS regards the New York freight traffic, the
Baltimore Il Ohio is simply not doing any,
We will not at present put on All out
side steamer line to New York.
Such line would undoubtedly
result in rupture of the trunk line pools, a
disaster which the Baltimore Il Ohio has
strenuouSly eXerted itself To avoid hOtWjth-
standing the fact that the action of one of its
members is in clear violation of the spirit IL
not the letter of the trunk line agreement
and has absolutely precluded the Baltimore "
Ohio from participating in the benefits of
one of the most important pools in operation
under that agreement"

The most gloomy representations have been
INDUCED in as to the possible magnitude of

of an increasing demand for money here are

The Whisky Question in France.

paris Letter to the London Daily News
The committee of the Academy of
Medicine has drawn mp g. long report
on the drink question in France and
the evil effect of alcohol on the human
system. The different points on
which it is thought desirable that the
legislative action should be brought to
bear have been embodied in series of
resolutions, which will be moved and,
in all probability, be carried at the
next sitting of the academy. The
principal abuses to which the govern
ment's attention is drawn are set
forth as follows: The academy is of
opinion that from an exclusively n.y.
gienic point of view the common prac-
tice of adding alcohol to wines is g.
baleful one. For the same reasons,
such an adulteration of beer, cider,
perry, etc., should be prohibited.
The Importation of strong drinks
rendered arti6cialIy spirituous ought
also to be prohibited. the academy
calls the attention Of the public au-
thorities to the expediency of dimin-
ishing the number of public houses
and Of stringently enforcing the exist
ing LIQUOR laws.

In the Small Matter of Hairpins.
From Stoves and Hardware

From Stoves and Hardware.1
For years the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
pins, and it is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have
been produced in this country to any
extent. The machinery used is of g.
delicate and intricate character, as
the prices at which pins are sold
necessitate the most rapid and cheap
est process, which can only be secured
by automatic machines. The wire is
made expressly for the purpose and
put up in large coils, which are placed
on reels, and the end of the wire is
placed in a clamp which carries it to
the machine while strengthening it;
from there it runs in another machine,
which cuts, bends, and by a delicate
and instantaneous process, sharpens
the points. Running at full speed
these machines will turn out 100
hairpins every minute. To econo-
mize it is necessary to keep them run
ming night and day. The difficult
part of the work is the euameling,
which is done by dipping in prepare
ton and baking in an oven. Here is
where the most constant attention is
required, as the pin must be perfectly
smooth and the enamel have a per
feet polish. The slightest particles of
dust cause imperfections and rough
ness, which is Objectionable.

Student Walters.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
4 bout tho einkort thinn in the world

From the st. Louis Globe Dcmocra
About the sickest thing in the world
is the s'student waiter" In 900 cases
out of 900 the aforesaid students"
havenot half brains enough to compete
with the most stupid darby that ever
donned the white apron. They are
usually farmers sons who have read
up in dime literature of the many men
OF mark who obtained their start in
life by working their passage, saving
wood, splitting rails, driving mules,
keeping district school Or attending
a fancy horse during vacation. A
bright idea goes under their skulls that
by going in as a waiter they might get
a few tips, some good meals, and have
q good time at the expense of some
body, and SO they start in as walters.
A hotel that INDUCES in such walters
must be curiosity. We had an ex-
tended experience of one dinner, and
that was enough. The waiter was
studying for the ministry, and when
asked for a. small bottle of claret,
nearly had a fit, and finally asked if
spring water wouldn't do just as well,
as he was opposed to tasting or hand
ling the dangerous stuff. That bright
fellow may now be among the heather,
and that's the best place for him and
all like him, but it is only g. sample of
student walters.

An Alligator Eats a Tramp.
From the Orange (Fla., rimes. !


Last week q man, presumably a
tramp, knocked at L. P. Thursby's
door about 9 O'Clock at night, after
the family had retired. Mr.. Thursby
struck match and responded to the
call. The man stated that he had
walked fifteen miles that afternoon to
take the night boat bound north and
got left and wanted to stay over night.
Thursby handed him a key and point
ed to his barn, stating that that was
the best he could do for him. Not un-
til after Mr.. Thursby had retired some
time did he think of the ten foot alliga-
tor his boy had in the barn for the en-
tertainment of strangers next winter
and worried considerably about the
man. He found the door locked, with
the key turned on the inside. He
forced a side window open, found the
alligator in it's usual corner, but the
man was missing. The evidence gath
cred seemed to point to the destruc-
ton of the man during the night, as
the animal ate nothing whatever dur
ing the next few days. Nothing can be
heard of the man, and it is believed
he came TO an untimely end that

An En2lish Decision in Favor Of an
American Trade-Mark,

From the New York Morning Journall
LONDON, ENGLAND, Aug. 26, 1856
ESPECIAL BY CABLE)-In the chancery
division of the high court of Justice,
London, Vice-Chancellor Bacon has
given his decision in favor of THE
CHARLES A. VoGELER COMPANY, of
Baltimore, Maryland, in the action
brought by that house against 81.
CHURCHILL & Co., of Brisbane, Queens
land. The case, which has been in
progress here since September, 1884,
grew out of an attempt of Churchill
& Company to register a trademark
containing the words St. Patricks Oil
in connection with a medicinal prepa-
ration. This WAS promptly op-
posed by the Vogeler Company,
who, while admitting that the term
and device which were sought
to be registered by the Australian firm
were in no respect Identical to the
well-known St. Jacobs Oil trademarks,
contended, however, that sufficient
similarity existed between the term
St. Patricks applied by Churchill &
Go. and St. Jacobs as used by the
Vogeler Co. to cause confusion in the
minds of the public and lead to pur-
chasers being deceived. In support of
this position they submitted an over
whelming amount of evidence from
English, American and Australian
sources with the result stated. Under
the decision of the court Churchill &
Go. cannot register their mark and
must pay costs. of the case. This is
The second trademark suit won by
the Vogeler Company in England with

Tall Men or Short Men?

From the New York SUM-
This is subject with respect to
which young man OF New York asks
us to give him information:
SIN discussion tine other night [
claimed that the majority OF the
worlds great men were of large stat
ure. Am right ?"
The men who are commonly &C
counted great may be of either small
or large stature. Samuel j. Tilden,
the foremost American statesman OF
our period and man OF extraordi-
nary intellectual breadth and capacl-
ty, was short, slight, and throughout
his life delicate in health, though with
strong vitality and much nervous
force. Mr.. Gladstone is q tall man,
and so also is Bismarck, but Dlsraell
was of middle height only, and Napo-
leon BOnaparte was short, while We'll
lington was not tall. Jefferson was
tall, thin. and angular, hut Alexander
Hamilton was slight and considerably
under middle stature. Franklin was
short and fat, and Peter Cooper was
only about 5 feet 6. Commodore Van
derbilt was tall and commanding, but
Jay Gould is short and unimpressive
in his physical appearance. Grant
was short, and so also was Mcclellan.
Farragut was q rather small man, but
Robert e. Lee was of a commanding
stature, as was also Charlemagne, but
Hannibal was very small, and julius
Caesar was not above medium height.
These, we suppose, are men whom
you would call great, but, you see,
some of them were short, and only q
few were remarkable for their stature.
1t might perhaps be said generally
that such men are more apt to be I'M
der than above the average height;
for what you call greatness largely de-
ponds on capacity for continuous ap-
plication, and, on the whole, the most
enduring men and the best proper
toned are apt to be those of medium
stature, if not those somewhat under
the medium.
