The World has made its appearance in
Charleston. 1t supports Gov. Hill for the
Presidency, and is displeased because Mr..
Cleveland did not agree to stop in Charleston
on his way to Florida. Perhaps if he stops
there returning, the World will be pacified

says he cannot understand how it is main

Geographic dispatches and local news. 1t
must be expensive. Yet there is not, he
ventures to say, a Hill man in the State,
and certainly no one with capital enough to
run such paper for a week. Where do
the money aud the inspiration come from!
He suggested that the men who put money
into such paper, in State that is sure to
send a delegation to the convention for
Cleveland, are throwing 1t away, and upon
very barren soil indeed

The Foundry Fires.

From the Youths Companion.
See the foundry fires cleaning
With strange and lurid light,
Listen to the anvils ringing
Measured music on the night
Clanking, clinking, never shrinking,
Strike the iron, mold IL well
On the progress of the nations
Each persistent stroke shall tell.
Showers Of fiery sparks are falling
Thick about the workmen's feet,
Some are carried by the night wind
Far along the winding street
Clanklng. clinlIInR, never shrinking,
Labor lifts her arm on high.
And the sparks fly from her anvils
out upon the darkened sky
In the quickened glow of feeling.
Meath the anvil strokes of thought,
Ancient errors disappearing
NObler creeds b birth are brought.
Clankmg clinking never shrinking,
Strike the truth, yea mold il well,
On the progress OF the nations
Each persistent strike shalltell.
Crude the mass. times fiery forges
AZ your eager feet have hurled,
Centuries Of toll must follow
Ere 10 shaped a perfect world,
Yet with clanking, clanking. cllnking,
Strike The Iron. shape the truth.

The Fight Against Trusts.

The sympathies of the people are undoubt-
edly with the movement that has been
started in the New York Legislature to
break up the trusts which have been estab-
lished in that State. There are great
many more of these trusts than the general
public has any idea Of Nearly all of them
have escaped notice, because they have pro-
| ceeded quietly in making their combina-
tons, and because the business in which
they are engaged is not in most instances
especially prominent. Attention was
strongly called to trusts when the Sugar
Trust was formed. There was then an out
cry against them becausa the price Of raw
sugar was at once forced down and that of
refined sugar forced up.
A committee Of the Legislature was
formed to investigate the Sugar Trust, and
so far as the investigation has gone the con-
dition Of affairs that has been developed is
exactly what it has been declared in the
public prints 10 be. Members of the Trust
refused to answer some of the questions
which We're asked, and there was developed
n suspicion that the Secretary of the Trust
had been sent to New Orleans to prevent his
appearance before the committee and the
production of the Trusts books
1t was virtually admitted, however, that
the purpose of the Trust was to get raw
sugar at lower price than it could be had
under the old system of unrestricted buying,
and.t force the price Of refined sugar up
as high as possible without mourning com
petition with the sugar refiners of other
countries
There is a statute in New York against
such combinations as these trusts, and they
are contrary to the common law. The
statute in New York against trusts is defec-
tive, and if there is such a statute in other
States it is probable that it is defective in
the same respect The defect in the New
York statute makes it about impossible to
punish those who are guilty of violating its
provisions. 1t is proposed, therefore, to
pass another statute that will put an end to
the evil complained Of The trusts, of
course, oppose any such legislation, and
very lively contest is expected to occur in
the New York Legislature. 1t is absolutely
necessary, however, that trusts shall be
broken up. Unless they are they will soon
be in a position to demand whatever prices
they please. The public will be completely
at their mercy.

Mrs. Hewitt's Invitation to Little Josef.
From the Netc York Star,

From the NeJ1 York. Star,
Everybody who was invited accepted Mrs
Abram S. Hewitt's invitation to hear the
ladies Amateur Orchestra play on Thursday
afternoon. The beautiful house was fairly
packed, the grand staircase in particular being
seized upon as a coign of vantage from which
to listen and see. The ladies were arrayed In
street costumes, with perhaps little more
elbow room than the modern tabernacle gown
allows but the distribution of the instruments
was prettily marked by badges of blue red and
white The very classical programme of Sc
lectons from Mozart, Beethoven Brahms
Vieuxtemps and Massenet was played with so
much delcacy of tone and precise bowling that
the young ladies were overwhelmed with con
CALCULATIONS and applause.
Among the most interested of the guests was
Josef Hoffman,. When Mr.. Hewitt asked him
to come to a concert at his house the little fell
low was inclined to back out. Il hear so many
concerts, - he pleaded. But all the performers
at my house will be pretty young ladies', " said
the Mayor "Ah, then" like a flash. TN come.
l took occasion TO measure the boys hand on
the piano. HIS stretch is just note and half
short of the octave. This means that he has to
Jump that distance with his little finger when
ever he strikes full chord, which makes his
playing all the more marvellous.

New and Foolish Fashions in Mourn
ing
From the Baltimore Ne,rs


Ibid you ever see mourning ring?" asked a
ieweler. We'll, here is one"
1t is a heavy gold band, perfectly plain and
with a seal in the shape of coffin. 1t has a
glass face, through which can be seen a skeleton
in gold On the inside of the ring is the inscrip-
ton in black enamel, giving the initials OF the
deceased and the date of death.
These designs were used over a century ago
and now they are to be revived as the latest fad
Some young widows who find it difficult to ndi-
cate their bereavement when indoors with hat
and flowing veil removed, take advantage of the
ring to announce to susceptible young men that
they have returned to the matrimonial market
They need not look melancholy A turn of the
finger and the sad news is TODD
DO men use theml'
Most assuredly. Widowers have no way of
announcing their loss except by the band on
their hats. With a mourning ring all embar-
RAISING inquiries regarding the deceased wife
may be avoided, and knowledge of the wild
overs restored eligibility quickly and neatly
impaired"

Since the publication that the secret serv-
ice detectives would report all government
clerks who frequent pool rooms and other
places where gambling is INDUCED, there is
a perceptible falling off in the number of
government employees in these places. For
a long time it was hard for heads of depart
ments to determine what to do to induce
them to give up gambling. In many in
stances the clerks were valuable ones, and
were bringing their families to grief by
sinking their salaries in the Golfers of the
pool room sharks. After mature considera-
ton, it was decided to shadow all
patrons of gambling houses, and to note
those in government service If, after
being warned, they do not mend their ways.
they will be dismissed. People who once
contract the gambling habit do not easily
abandon it.
