Action is really the life of business.
Use every means to hold on to your
home trade.
Great bargains can only be secured in
any market by being on the spot.
Always keep your designs and business
from the knowledge of others.
1t is easy to sell goods if they are well
suited to your trade and bought right.
Be courageous; drop your best friend if
he shows lack of honesty and integrity.
Avoid litigation as much as possible, for
lawyers and costs eat up the principal.
Have the courage to discharge debt
while you have the money in your pocket.
The man who bor1ows money and then
borrows trouble is in sheol sure enough.
Prefer small profits and certain returns
to large profits and uncertain settlements.
Difficulties, like thieves, often disap-
pear at a glance; therefore, always face a
difficulty.
Punctuality IN money matters leads to
prosperity and confidence and is the basis
of credit.
In buying study carefully the wants Of
your trade, and buy with that end always
in view.
Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and
obliging to all your customers, and see
that your clerks are likewise.
Study the history of current events;
make careful comparisons of the tluctua-
tions in price, in demand, and in supply,
in order to guide your own operations by
the lessons these facts impart.
Misrepresentation of anything never
pays, and when you tell yodr customers
that your goods are superior TO those of
your competitor, when you know the same
to be false, you are simply putting in the
wedge that will ultimately drive your trade
away.
Remember that the golden rule of COM
mercial life is probity. Act, therefore,
honestly, uprightly, and conscientiously
in all matters of trade. Never misrepre-
sent, falsify, or deceive; have one rule of
moral life and never swerve from it, what
ever may be the acts or opinions of other
men.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

The YELLOW SCOURGE.
The Railroads Refuse to Take Passenger
FROM jacksonville.

FROM Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. pa great
commotion was caused this afternoon bv
a REPORT that the Savannah, Florida &
Western railroad refused to take pas
sengers from this point. even on through
tickets, to northern points, where
towns had invited refugees from
this city to go. On investigation the re-
port was found to be true. Only mail
car left to-day. One passenger was
thrown off the train at Lavallla juno
ton, as the conductor said that he had
orders not to Allow single passenger to
leave on the train. No express north
nor any other package will be taken 1t
cannot be ascertaiued here rs yet who is
responsible for this tyrannical rule. Not
only are through passengers prohibited
but all persons intending TO 90 to the
quarantine station at Bologne or Camp
st. Mary's are refused passage
This will kindle blaze here in Jack
sonville as soon as the people become
fully cognizant of the matter. A mass
meeting will probably be called III the
morning.
Nine rev cases of yellow fever were
deaths, 18th at st. luke's Hospital
Central Station, who was taken from the
street yesterday in an almost dying con-
dition; and Edward w. Dixon, a jewel
er, who came here from the North an
Invalid. Two cases were discharged
cured. There have been an even hundred
cases all told, many light with marked
yellow fever symptoms, and believed to
be remittent or bilious fever. 1t has
been quiet Sunday. The infected dis.
trict is gradually enlarging, especially
Forsyth, Adams and Monroe Streets,
from Pine or Main east, and in East
Jacksonville. No cases have developed
in the neighborhood of the Grand Union
Hotel since it was closed and disinfected.
1t looks now as If the ending of the
epidemic is a matter of intelligent and
energetic work, but one of no small
magnitude.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 27.--Reports
received at the marine hospital bureau
from Jacksonville, Fla, to-day, show
that there are now under treatment
sixty -four cases. The total number of
cases to date is 100. DR.. Neal Mitchell.
at Jacksonville, telegraphs that he re-
ceived refugee from Camp Perry, Sun
day night, and that many people In
Jacksonville desire to go to the camp.
Dr. Hamilton said to-day that the re-
port that no one is allowed to leave
Jacksonville is incorrect. He said that
a special train has been chartered by
the marine hospital bureau to run
daily between jacksonville and Camp
Perry, in order to allow all per
sons desiring to leave jacksonville to
do so by that route. Mayor Lester; of
Savannah, telegraphs that he is in
formed that Mr.. Merriweather died at
Fernandina, Fla. of yellow fever, and
asks that Fernandina be inspected.

success Of the meeting is assured. To-
day is brakemen's day and Chief Sar-
geant with several executive board Of
ficers, are expected to be present

next to the discussion of the Burlington
trouble, is the great object of the meet
ing. Tuesday will be engineers day,
and the assemblage will be addressed
by Chief Arthur, who will also
present the Burlington case and en-
deavor to excite renewed interest in the
strikers. At night separate meetings of

orced will be submitted and acted up

very important results as a consequence
of this meeting, not only Signal fnan-
cial aid of $4,525, but also COOPERATION
from railoaders on connecting lines TO
the Burlington, which viii result in
hampering that roads traffic by a re-
fusaI to handle its freight.

her kind good uncle, little did she
think of the danger that lay in the path
before her, or of the, SORROWS and joys
that awaited her in the future. Like
all nlortals, SHE was destined 10 expert
ence deeper sorrows than joys; her bur

The fright caused by meeting her

Swarthy Jim had her securely fastened
in the underground room where poor
johnny Jones had hoped to find her.
1t might have been much better for

had been taken, but such was not to be.
Finally those great, beautiful eyes
slowly opened, and gazed, III dazed,
weary fashion, around the room. She
could not distinctly remember what
had happened, and, rising partially
from her hard bed of straw, she saw
large. coarse-looking woman standing III
front of the fire, whose features were
plainly visible by the bright light from
the burning Goals in the fireplace.
Near the center of the room stood an
old table, upon which stood an old,
smoking lamp,

Car Horses IN Cabs.
From the Washington Post.


The cab driver who was on duty at
Sheridan residence during the general
illness stood on the curb one morning
and discoursed learnedlv to the re-
porter about cab horses. "To make a
first-class cab horse" said he, "the
best way is to take a broken-down
street car horse, the older and tougher
he is the better. fake oil his shoes and
turn him out TO pasture for a season,
then bring him in ana put him in haT-
ness. He Will stand twice the work
and rough handling that would ruin a
plump young horse from the country.
The hardest work on horses is not
street car work by any means. A
horse will be broken down much soon
er in herdic. The concrete pave
mems dry out and crack horses hoof
much sooner than the cobblcstones of a

LONDON CHEAP LABOR.
Shocking Condition of Things Among the
Poorer Workingmen.


LONDON, Aug. 24.-The first report
from the select committee of the House
of Lords on the Sweating system, which
has just been promulgated, reveals such
a shocking condition of things among
the industrial and laboring classes as to
compel immediate remedial meas
ures on the part of the gov
eminent. The committee has heard
evidence concerning the boot and shoe
trade, cabinet making, upholstering and
chiefly tailoring, an occupation in which
the worst evils complained of exist.
Into all these branches of industry the
competition of female labor largely
enters. 1t has been made patent that
not only in the East end, but in other
parts of the metropolis as we'll as in
provincial towns and rural districts, the
grave evilsrevealed by this investigation
prevail. Other industries not yet ex-
amined are no doubt affected by the
same canker, and indeed the COM
mittee have received many applications
alike from trade societies and individu-
ais praying for an extension of the in
curry. The committee has in response
to these demands asked for and OBJ
tanned powers to extend the area CT
their investigation.

How Infection Diseases Begin.

Measles begins as cold, with running
at the eyes and nose, and the rash is in
dark red spots, first seen on the face and
forehead. Scarlet fever commences with
a sore throat, and the rash appears as a
general redness of the skin and shows it
self about the neck and chest. Diphtheria
begins with marked weakness; and the in
flammation in the back part of the mouth
soon has a peculiar SMELL as of putrid
meat. Youths Companion, which emu
merates the above symptoms, advises
that in no case should either of these di-
seases be intrusted to home treatment
While the physician looks after the cure
of the patient, the friends should actively
cooperate in preventing the spread of the
disease, not only in the whole matter of
disinfection, but in completely isolating
hhe child until the possibility of COM
Aunicating the infection is over

THE ANGLER

C1eerily In the morning bright
Cometh the angler down the meadow,
Rosily flushed in the morning light
Seeking the pool that lies in shadow.
Drenched in the cool and sparkling dew
He nears the gJlrgling splashing rill;
He parts the MISUNDERSTANDING through
And drawing back, like a rock is still.
Tden-daintily falls the fairy fly,
Softly kissing the dimpling eddy;
Lazily floats it, light and dry,
To where a trout is waiting ready.
Loi now ne takes the gaudy lure
With plunge, and grim heroic strength,
He fights, but cannot long endure
Both pluck and strength are gone at length
Then-m6-ily goes the angler on,
Casting around the downy feather;
Art1ently mounts the golden sun,
Making a noon of glowing weather.
Still trout on trout doth follow fast,
The creel fills rs the day wears on,
And fuller yet, until at last
There is no room for even one.
Then-rosily flushed in sunset-light
Tramps he homeward through the meadows,
fitfully lit by glow-worms bright,
CHANGING amid the evening shadows.
Bland Peace sits calmly in his heart,
His dear-loved home he halls with Joy,
And hastens in, glad to impart
sweet content without alloy.
