AN INTERESTING MATTER,

M lHiLilLOllnu MAJ I'm
and one that concerns US
only, was to be discussed
as YOU remember, when
we were alone and could
arrange our affairs TO suit
ourselves.
Now that our Wedding
Day is settled, and as it
p!eases us both to have it
kept from the world, for
the present, we will do so.
And now, dearest, while
as you know my circum-
stances are not the best,
our prospects are encour-
aging, and the matter of
housekeeping is the first
to be considered. have
been giving the question
a good deal of thought,
you KNOW, and on the
quiet, have got pretty

find that without dimin-
ishing my bank account
in the least, ] can ar
range to entirely furnish
our cottage by simply
making a comparatively
small payment at the
start, and at stated in
tervaIs pay in such a way
as to suffer no inconVen-
fence.
She---But, my dear,
won't you have to pay
more than the interest
you receive?
He--No. ! have found,
by careful Investigation,
that when ! have deter
mined to buy, goods can
be purchased at less cost

payments are made as ]
have stated, than is pos
sible elsewhere, not ex-
cepting Boston, where
your father recently
bought a range and paid
SIS more than he would
have to pay for the same
range here. Ihave a list
and you can see. There!
lQuaker Range and 20
pieces of ware, pipe and
zinc, $4,000; your father
paid $500 for the same
range, but as he is con-
nected with the boat, ne
saved the so cents
freight, and I suppose
the satisfaction gained
| on account of its coming
from q . s TON was
worth $3.50 to him, but
not to me. So on through
the list. Another advan-
tage ! gain in buying
where ! propose is, as
near as am able to learn
every nameable thing can
be purchased, which will
save a vast amount of
running around, and, the
best of all is, the finest
qualities as well as other
grades are to be had,
and as have decided TO
make partial payments,
adaptability and econo-

everything. Now | want
you to go with me tomor-

AMERICAN IRON TRADE.
The Annual Review Shows Large In
creased lof the Industry.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.
The annual review of the American iron
trade by General Manager James Nj. Swank
of the American Steel Association says:
The production of 1887 i'll all the leading
branches of the manufacture of iron and
steel was the largest in the history of the
country. The estimated production ofpg iron
was 6.2500UO tons gross, about 6OO, 900 more
than 1856; Bessemer steel rails, about
/ $50 900 gross tons, or 3l5, 900 more than
1856 In addition to this large production
we consumed about 500, 900 tons OF imported
pig iron; about 10000 tons of steel rails
were imported aud the imports of iron and
steel in other forms is also very large. 1he
total importatlons aggregate nearly l,oO0,0oO
tons The production of iron ore is about
ii 900 200 tons gross, and the imports
,25O, 900 tons. In 1856 we produced about
l0, 900, 900 gross tons and imported l039, 4o3
tons After about the middle of the year all
prices fell off IN sympathy with the general
conviction of the remarkable activity of the
proceeding year, and one half could not
much longer be maintained, especially the
demand tor steel rails for new railroads.
The shrnkage is most marked In steel rails,
next in pig IRON, bar IRON and iron pipe.
The bridge works of the country, foun-
dries, machine shops, car builders, car wheel
manufacturers, locomotive builders and
many other consumers of iron and steel have
been very busy.

THOMASTON INDIGNANT.
Its Citizens Protest Against the Closing
Of the Customs Office.
Reasons why the People Demand the
Continuance of the Collectorship.

THoMAsToN, Jan. 8.
The recent order of the secretary of the
treasury, looking as some say, towards the
closing of the Office of deputy collector of
customs in Thomaston, is viewed with indig-
nation by the business men of this town.
Thomaston was first made port of entry by
President George Washington, and Capt.
vose was appointed collector, and his son,
now residing here, has the original commits
sion, bearing Washington's signature. From
that time to the present Tn homaston has en-
gagged largely in shipbuilding and navigation,
and is today the second town in the State in
tons of shipping owned. 1t builds and owns
more vessels than any other town in this col
lection district, and has the largest individual
owner of wooden vess els residing here of
the United States, and Furthermore
has many other ship owners, who carry on an
extensive domestic and ma rine correspond
ence. A strong protest will be made against
closing this office. and we think that under
the circumstances the Office will remain "a
permanent fixture, as all the business inter-
ests demand it.

RAILROAD STRIKE A FAILURE
Only a Part of the Men Cease Work
The Outlook Encouraging.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9


Later dispatches say; During this after
noon General Manager Mcleod received
telegraphic information from Supt. Whiting,
to the effect that there is considerable divis-
ion of opinion among the miners, that there
is far from being unity in disposition to obey
the strike. The impression prevails that
there will be more mines in operation to-
morrow than to-day.
The railroads general manager says he
has more men at work on the main line and
branches today than Oh yesterday. The work
of loading the collier barks at pier No. l6,
was completed this morning, and at noon the
vessel took her departure for an eastern port
with new crew.
A number of Italians were engaged today
and put to work at Port Richmond on the
wharves unloading iron ore and wheeling
coal. More than five hundred Italians are
now at work in the company's yards. Many
more were sent to Port Richmond this after
noon. Superintendent keim said it would
be impossible TO give them work as the COM
pany had all the men it wanted.
