The efficiency of oil, when droppe

The efficiency of oil, when dropped
upon the water to calm boistcrous wave.
may now be regarded as established. 1t
is astonishing how small quantity Of
oil will answer the purpose. Admiral
Clone gives the amount as from two to
three quarts an hour dropped from per-
forated bags hanging over the sides Of
the ship in positions varying with the
wind. The oil, then, by its own out
spreading, extending over the waves,
forms film of less than two and half
millionth part of an inch in thickness;
and this is enough to reduce breaking
waves and dangerous "rollers" to un-
broken undulations that are practically
harmless. The oils that have been found
most effective are seal, porpoise, and fish
oils. Mineral oils, such as are used 70,
illumination, are too light; but the lu-
bricating oils are denser, and may be
found sufficient. ....... ...

THE CROWN PRINCE.
His Condition Reported Hopeless
Trouble Among His Doctors.

His Condition Reported Hopeless
Trouble Among His Doctors.
Late advices from London stata that the
fatality overhanging the poor Crown Prince
ecllpses all other topics in the attention OF
Europe. Even news Of fresh Russian move
ments Of troops and rumors Of important
Russian proposals on the Bulgarian question
are dwarfed beside the pathetic interest OF
San RemS's patient. Probably no o. other s figure
cite such universal, pitying notice. DR.. Nor
ell Mackenzie's daughter Ethel has left Lon
don for San Reno, which looks like an in
definite stay of the English doctor. He IS
said to feel that he has been used very badly
by the German doctors, who overrode his
opposition to the use Of chloroform and
treated him throughout like an interloper.
He still watches the case for the Crown
Princess, but Berlin Court influences have
given the charge Of the patient practically
into German hands Private reports say the
Prince will not leave his room at San Reno
again till he does in his coffin. He is wasted
and sick unto death"

THE GREAT STRIKE.
The Reading Miners Ordered Back
to Work-Thc Question Of Wages

The Reading Miners Ordered Back
to Work-The Question Of Wages.
The Reading Co.'s miners strike in the
Schuylkll region has been formally declared
Off, and the men ordered to return to work
in a body. Master Workman Lewis, OF
National District Assembly l35, addressed
a letter to President Corbin, proposing
that the miners return to work WIN
the understanding that the company wouta
accord them conference to determine Ile
wages question, and that no discriminations
would be made against individuals IL, ior
participation in the strike. Mr.
CorLin replied that these propIo,
sitions we're acceptable to the
company, that no men except such MS had
attacked or attempted to attack workmen
would be Disseminated against, and that lt
must be understood that the men wouid re-
turn to work on the $3.50 basis and that the
Reading Company would not be ex-
pected to pay more than the other com
panies On those conditions the company
would consent to a conference Tor the ar
rangement of a new and more satisfactory
basis of wages. No mention was made IN
the correspondence of the railroad men:
These terms were accepted by the Miners
Committee, and the strikers were notified to
resume work on Monday morning.

Sword Bearer during the Crow Indian war
last year, and who with seven of his COM

The sentry heard great commotlon, ana
rushing into the enclosure with cooked mus
ket saw two bravesly lying bleeding and dying
upon the floor. while Deaf Bull, with bloody
knife aloft, was making long strides after the
Crows, who were running about the pen yell
ing the most piercing screams.
When he saw the sentry he made rush 1or
him. and the latter, doubling his right to
shoot down a prisoner, made backward
lump through the door, shut it, and sum-
Ynoned the garrison. Half dozen volunteers
under command Of Corporal Holly then burst
open the door and started after bull, VINO
made dash for Holly, but the soldier 6y
quick movement felled the savage to the moor
with blow from the butt end of bis musket-
Before Bull could be bound, however, ne
cut his throat with the knife and then hurled
the keen blade into the back OF dying war
rior on the floor Shackled and bleeding the
old chief was led out into the corridor; He
struggled in his steel shackles until ne broke
his right arm, and then with cry OF pain,
fell weak and insensible upon the floor:
Deaf Bull will not die from his wounds, put
two of his victims are mortally hurt.

Taking all crops, corn, cotton, wheat,
oats, rice, sugar, tobacco, etc., and the
enhanced values into consideration, 1t is
very reasonable to estimate that agricul-
ture yielded to Southern farmers in 1887
$7J, 600 more than in 1886. Need
there be any wonder, declares the Munu-
tacturer's Record, that Southern farmers
are in better financial condition than for
some years.

- the close of the war there were
only forty-eight miles of railroad in the
State of Arkansas. In 1874 there were
only about 700 miles. Now, there are
near 1000 miles, and as many more miles
projected on the different lines, which
will be built ere long, some OF
which are in course of construction.
Soon our State, says the Arkansas
Trareler, will be checkered by these
pioneers and indispensable adjuncts Of
civilization.

That Millinery Premium Which was
Awarded to G. B. Frank.

"a clerical error of the association
discovered next day necessitated the
appointment of another committee TO
90 over the work again" THANKS.
This is explained for us in-as-much as
orr competitor admits that the first
award was mistake, and the Fair as
ISOLATION in making an award say
nothing in their premium list about
HATS. We entered for the best dis
pIay of millinery. Everybody knows
what is meant by millinery. 1t didn't
take the Judges long to decide about
il, for after little deliberation,
thew seated themselves at the desk of
our competitor in his own exhibit de-
partment, and in the presence OF MS
own employees, and with his beauIllul
millinery staring them in the face,
said: 90. B. Frank, G. B. Frank to
the 'front.'" and the echo repeated
itself and the sound went like Wild
fire through the entire buildings, I'M
til today, when it can be heard from
the voice of nearl y every lady In the
city. Our hats and bonnetS, with
their beautiful plumage, held up
their heads. They were firm, ana IL
did not require the use of tar:
Setting aside, therefore, the decision
of the committee appointed VINO erro-
neously made the award for one not Oh
the books, and taking the real ap-
| pointed judges on millinery, as re-
uuired by the associations books, IL Is
clear to the public that we received
the first prize, premium and diploma.
| WE GOT 1T, WE'LL KEEP II, AND WE
| INVITE YOU ALL TO CALL AROUND
AND SEE IT. Skill, taste, style ana
understanding how to com bine them
is what our Mrs. Puschmann knows
about millinery. She has acquired ii
from her own ideas of symmetry IN
form, and harmony of color.

what nice millinery is, who saw oul
