frightened future ofsnK cu,sure.

Some years ago, however, Edward W.
Serren, Jr., Of New York, undertook to
solve the problem Of the automatic reel
Ing of silk. 1t was a difficult one, but It
appears that Q satisfactory end has been
reached after the expenditure of several
years Of labor and considerable sums OF
money. The outcome is silk reel which
is now being put in operation in the
south of France through the cooperation
of some of the leading banking houses of
Lyons This machinery makes SO great
saving in labor as to largely subordinate
this side Of the question, and it is for this
reason that the silk raisers of our country
hope by its aid to bring their efforts in
establishing silk culture to a successful
termination.
II the experiments contemplated are
brought to successful issue, the increas-
ing of the home market for cocoons may
then be looked into with greater hopes
for success. The market for the product
of this establishment is already an active
one, as we imported during the last fiscal
year raw silk to the value Of nearly $780,
900, 900.
Though the work mentioned will be the
most important of the nature that the de-
partment will carry out during the COM
ing year, Lne enLOmOlOBlSC, frO1eSSOr -. V.
Riley, who is charged with this branch of
the departments labors, will continue the
work done in past years of distributing
silk worm eggs and sericultural informa-
ton and literature. He has recently is
sued new manual on silk culture, which
is now being gratuitously distributed.
This is a revision of the old pamphlet
published by the department., to which
much new material of valuable nature
has been added. The Women's Silk Cul-
ture association, of Philadelphia, has re-
ceived congressional aid and will probably
purchase cocoons during the coming win

THE HOMELESS CLUB.
Henry George Makes a Speech and
Thanks the Club for Its Support.

NEW YORK, Nov 15.-Henry George was
the guest of the Homeless club Friday at
dinner. The club was formed in Cleveland
by reporters attending the special convention
of the general assembly, Knights of Labor
Henry George then thanked the club for its
support during the last ele ction. There Is
something in what has been done here, said
he. II was just nominated by the Homeless
club, and the nomination was indorsed by
6S,On9 voters There are few homes from
which man may not be turned out at any
time he is unable to pay his rent. The true
idea of home is something in which
a family shall have a secure posses
sion, and in the motto of the homeless
club, we want the earth,' is embodied an
idea which must grow among the masses of
our people. They have been too long ac-
customed to regard the earth as something in
which the majority of men have no rights
whatever, except as they bought or rented
them from some creature of the same kind
as themselves The significance of our cam
paign is that it has shown the strength of the
idea of equal rights of all men to the use of
the earth. The movement we have begun must
spread and grow The standard we have
raised may be blackened by calunny and
beaten back here and there by the organized
forces that may be arrayed against us, but it
win at length be carried to triumph. Ii we

PTrTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 15.-The Catholic
pro-cathedral, one of the finest church edi-
fees in the country, caught fire Friday
night, and, in spite of the most strenuous ef-
forts, burned down. The beautiful building
is in ruins. The fire originated from over
heating in the cellar, q gaspipe having
burst The magnificent episcopal residence
near by was badly damaged. The total loss
is $l65, 600. The cathedral was completed in
1871 and dedicated with the most imposing
ceremonies Of the church. When the Pitts
burg diocese was divided about ten years
ago and the diocese of Allegheny formed, St
Peters church, as it was then called, became
the bishops. Since then it has been known
as the pro-cathedral 1t was of the Gothic
style of architecture, finely ornamented both
inside and out 1t contained a large mum
Der Of valuable relics and documents, none
Of which were saved.
A careful examination Of the walls and
tower of St. Peters cathedral was made
Saturday. 1t was found that they were un-
injured. The church officials claim that
their loss will not exceed s150,ao0, ON which
there is sc, coo insurance in foreign COM

The Kings Valet de Chambre.

The Daily News of Munich tells q story
illustrative of the queer freaks of the late
mad king of Bavaria. He had an excel
lent valet de chambre, whose services he
praised greatly, but who one day COM
mitted some petty fault that threw the
quick-tempered monarch into such a
tempest of fury that he beat him with his
fists and said: "Get out! do not want
ever to see your face again" The man
went as rapidly as he could. Then the
king had a succession of Wallets, each one
of whom seemed worse, more stupid, and
incompetent than his predecessor, until
the king was frantic all the time. The
Baron Schneider, chief Of the palace,
urged him to take his old valet back
again, but he refused on the ground that
his dignity would not permit him to do
so, when he had said he wished never to
see the mans face again. Then the baron
had happy idea. "Very well, your
majesty" he said, s'you need not see his
face again. We will make blackamoor
of him" To that the king assented
cheerfully, and thereafter until his
death, he was faithfully served by an ap-
parent negro, who was, however, in real
ity native of Munich, his old white
valet-New York Sun.

trial of speed all hands were breath1ess
with excitement. The first command
from the captain would be: "Paint her

from the reflection, forming most beau

be forgotten. It was at that time that
