reports the Knights of Labor strike
as increasing and says that strike
at Galveston is among the early
probabilities. The merchants of
Galveston express their determlna-
ton to close their stores and dis
charge all hands in the event of
another general strike. AT St.

that engines and postal cars are
made ready, but will render no as

Cholera vs.. Fruit and Vegetables.
EBaltlmore Alnerical!

One who has passed through the three
cholera epidemics In 1880, l645 and
1866 can we'll remember the preventive
measures generally adopted to lessen the
ravages of the disease Care in diet was
considered most important, and fruits
were almost entirely discarded. Water
melons and cueumbers were almost en-
tirely discarded, and even ripe peaches
and other harmless fruits were per-
mitted to rot upon the trees, the art Of
canning not being then known.
So heavy were the losses by fruit
growers and dealers, in 1880, that for a
few years after the plague disappeared
no one would raise melons and other
Objectionable vegetables and Struts, for
fear they could not be disposed Of
Boiled rice, mush and milk, and bread
and milk, became the principal articles
Of diet in many families, and meat and
other heavy foods were partaken of very
sparingly. Camphor came into univef-
sal use as q disinfectant, and nearly
every person wore bag filed with the
drug suspended around their necks.
Nearly every druggist had an anti
cholera specific of his own manufacture,
and Burgundy pitch and other plaSters
were used on tho stomach and back.
Flanpels were also worn during the
hottest summer days

Under the AusDlos. Of the Good Templars.

The platform Of the Illinois State Pro-
hibihon Convention voices the senti-
ment OF the foremost temperance people
OF to-day. 1t is asfollows:
Whereas, The liquor traffic is Justly
charged with organized an rebellious
opposition to existing statutes; with
merciless oppression OF thousands OF in
nocent women and children; with ne
fandous attempts to debauch the morals
of our youth. with the percentage Of
most OF the crime and lawlessness and
want prevailing among us; with con-
spiricy to corrupt politics and legisla-
ton, and with the contribution OF aid
to riots, communist, and anarchist.
Therefore we call upon all good citi-
zens to resume allegiance to the party,
allies OF that traffic and unite with us for
the exterpation Of this odious cause OF
crime, disorder, social dlsintegration,
and Astounding misery.
l. We reverently recognize the SUI
preme authority Of Almighty God.
2. The manufacture, importation,
transportation and sale of Intoxicating
beverages must be prohibited.
8. To aid, abet, or in other ways as
sist the drink traffic, either by granting
license, signing petitions for license,
signing saloon bonds. leasing property
for saloon purposes, or voting for men
for Office who favor license, is to be-
come accessory to the continuance OF
the liquor business.
A.. Prohibition to be completely ef-
lectual must be national in scope, and
rlust be backed BY party uncondition-
ally committed to its enforcement.
5. In government OF the people
the right OF suffrage should not depend
upon sex, but should be granted alike
to all who are otherwise qualified fol-
it,
6. We heartily endorse the w. G.
T. U. of the State and nation, and
pledge them our individual support il
their efforts to secure a law making
scientific temperance instruction obi
gatory in Illinois.
z. We regard the christian Sabbath
as boon so valuable to christianity tina
the State cannot be true to its trus
which neglects to guard it from desc
Grafton.
s. That three-fourth Of tie criminal
are the product OF the liquor traffic, The
suppression OF such traffic viii value tn
problems of convict labor and the man
agement OF penal institutions.
g. That the suppression Of the liz
uor trafc, which absorbs a large par
of the earnings OF The workingmen will
go very far towards solving the labo
differences in the country.
10. We demand that the people @
Illinois be allowed the opportunity Q
voting upon the question OF constitu
tional prohibition amendment, and W
denounce the politicians who refuse t
ollow the people to vote on this ques
ton"

THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE.
But the Steed Is Directed Toward the
Signboard OF Trade and Prosperity
Northern Capital Flowing
South.
speclal by TeIegraph o the TLmea Scar.


WAsHINGToN, ID. c., July 3.-The
South seems TO be attracting good
deal OF attention among the capitalists
OF New York and the East generally
just now. Within the past few days
two prominent citizens Of Alabama
have been in the city en- route home
from New York, where they arranged
for several millions of capital to be put
at once into railroad enterprises in that
State. One of these enterprises is
road to give Birmingham, the great
iron manufacturing city Of that State,
a direct connection with the gull; the
other proposes to build road from Mo
bile to Dauphin Island, an island lying
midway between Mobile and New Or
leans and some distance off the gulf
shore. The plan is to build long tres
tie from the shore out to the Island.
When the road arrives there it will
have, it is claimed, fine harbor with
thirty feet of water. Beside this
scheme for building the road out into
the gulf, the company has plan for
the construction of long line OF rail-
way from this fine harbor northward
through Alabama, Tennessee and Ken
lucky, to connect with line running
to Chicago. 1.-THE Gulf & Chicago Air
Line Railroad" it is to be called and
there are indications that the line is to
be an important one in connecting the
lakes and the gull. These are only
sample cases. Large amounts efmeney
are going into the South to be invested
in manufacturing enterprises. At
Chattanooga and Birmingham there are
now being established some Of the
most extensive iron works in the coun-
try. Other road enterprises are being
pushed in different parts OF the South,
and word comes that the emigration in
this direction OF late has been unpreced-
ented. A coed many millions OF North.
ern capital are gong into the South
just now, and that section may look
for more prosperous times and a great.
er expenditure OF money. And .!iere
is need for it, too. A careful observer
a Southern man. who has just returned
from trip South, says there is a great
scarcity Of money there and that times
are counted unusually hard there.

New York Mail and Express. /


Until recently ] have not been able to
secure much sleep on the first night OF a
railway journey, and it may DO an adj
vantage to many travellers to know how
the inability was overcome. An, excess
OF blood in the brain prevents sleep.
How to remove the surplus is the
problem for the unfortunates who wish
TO sleep but can not. A pump
Is needed for the purpose, and
it may easily DO provided as
follows: Having assumed the usual
position Of repose, inhale and exhale
slowly and steadily long breaths. deyot-
ing the whole attention to making the
inhalation and exhalation Of exactly the
same length. The length should be
much greater than that of ordinary
breathing, although not sufficient tc
disturb the circulation by working this
lungs to their utmost capacity. Any
person who has force of will enough To
concentrate his whole attention on tho
maintenance of this style of breathing,
can compel sleep in very unfavorablc
circumstances, and victims of insomnia
should know il.
The value Of the method is not solely
in its holding the mind to one object of
thought, but the process of breathing
here described is really equivalent to
the insertion of pump in the brain to
draw off its excess of blood. To con-
vince yourself that this is SO, eli your
lungs with all the air they viii hold,
and then expel it, repeating the opera
ton three or four times as rapidly as
possible The result will be feeling
of faintness, unless you are other than
an ordinary mortal, and its cause will
be q deficiency of blood in tho brain,
produced by the pumping process. Such
violent breathing will not induce sleep,
however, as there is o reaction which
sends the life current rushing back to
the seat Of the mind
Scientists say that the reason why
fear, surprise or any other sudden emo
ton often causes faintness is because it
rapidly drives the blood from the brain,
and the fact is significant for those who
wish to understand how to induce sleep,
whether on the railway train or in their
beds al home, by pumping the excess Of
blood from their brains by peculiar
method of breathing.

Mineral Products of the United States.

II LICtHO ITlDuue,I
The second report Of "The Mineral
Resources of the United States" BY
Albert Williams, chief Of the division
of mining statistic and technology,
United States geological survey, will'be
issued shortly. From advance sheets,
it appears that the report is most
valuable addition to the statistical in
formation which the government
issues from time to time The metallic
mineral products are ten in number;
and their value during the year 1884
was 1885, 97, 500. Iron heads the list,
$73, 1915 silver follows next, S4s,-
900,000 gold is third, $50, 800, 900; cop
per next, SIT, 7S9, 667; and lead follows,
$40, ,042. The value of the Others is
comparatively small. The non-metal-
lie mineral products are Twenty-Five in
number and were valued at $500, 007,.
021 in 1884. OF this amount the value
OF coal constitutes S143;76O, 900; petrol
cum, $40, 476, 294; building stone, $l9,-
100000; lime, S1S, $685. 900; and salt,
81, 1877, 1874,
To this list is added about fifty minor
minerals, the value of which Is estimated
ct 81, 900, O00--making the total value
Of mineral products for 1884 $41a 1914, :
$50. During the year 1883 the value of
thefmineral products Of the country was
Sl52, s04 ,6H, and iu>1882, $455, 216, 6S9.
The falling off in 1884, compared with
those years, is due more to decline in
price than to the falling off in quantity.
These figures show the Importance OF
the mineral industries OF the country.

Cumulative Action of Alcohol.

icated Late dt night, although they have
not used spirits during the evening. st
appears, says the editor, that alcohol,
like bromide, may remain in the system
to some extent without producing any
marked action, and then suddenly, from
some unknown cause, burst into great
activity, producing profound intoxica-
ton. The reasons for this do not seem
to be definitely understood, though they
are thought to be of combined physio-
logical and psychological nature, and
partly due TO climatic conditions.

New oil from the country is always
thick, and in winter time generally con
geaied; after having been allowed to re-
main undisturbed for six or eight days
it is, if still CONCEALED, slightly heated
before being placed in the filters, in a
large tin-lined pan, with double bot
tom or Jacket, through which steam is
made to circulate Thus the oil does
not come into contact with fire, but is
generally warmed by steam until it is
quite fluid. The oil filter is a rectangu-
lar wooden tank, lined inside with tin,
and it is divided into two compartments,
an upper and o lower one.
The oil is pumped into the upper COM
partment and is allowed to filter
