The Suspension Bridge Disaster.
 NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y. Jan. 10

 A report from Niagara Falls of the bridge disaster says: The anchorage cables and upright cable supports are all in place. Crowds of people visited the spot and watch ed the swaying movements of those parts of the iron work still swinging over the river. Part of the foot and carriage portion of the bridge can be plainly seen reclining at the foot of the Canadian bank across the river. There is but little doubt that the bridge will be rebuilt. The loss is thought to be about $50, GOO.
 The suspension bridge that was destroyed by the storm last night was the carriage bridge between Niagara Falls village and the Clifton House and should not be confounded with the railroad suspension bridge across which trains running as usual Ocean Steamers.

 HoUsE.-After the reading of the journal
 to-dny, MT. Weaver brought forward two dilitory motions to adjourn, and that when the House adjourns it be to meet on Satur- day.
 Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, and MT. Weaver were appointed rellers on the latter motion, and as no quorum voted call of the House was ordered. Two hundred and fifty three members having responded to their names, further proceedings under the call were dis pensed with, and MT. Springer asked unani- nous consent for the entering of an order providing for final vote on the Oklahama bill, but his request was answered by loud cries for the regular order," Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, veicing the opinion of the objectors by declaring that he desired to see whether or not one man could bulldozs the House.
 The tellers having resumed their places, on MT. Weaver's motion for an adjournment | until Saturday, MT. F. D. Taylor of Ohio, after referring in preamble to the blocking | of the business of the house by a certain | member, offered resolution for the appoint l ment of committee of five to wait upon the | member to ascertain upon what terms he would allow the business of the house to pro- 1 ceed. The resolution not presenting ques I tion of privilege was ruled out and the count was proceeded with.

Some Curious Easter Customs.
From the Americdn Aoriculturist.

fTOHt Hte AUbeTtCOn AyTtCUtIITlSI.
AT Queen's college, Oxford, the first dish
brought to the table on Easter day used to
be a red herring riding away on horseback.
On Holy Saturday evening in some parts of
ireland great preparations are made for the
finishing of Lent Fat hens and pieces Of
bacon are put in the pot by the cotter's wife
about or 8 o'clock, but woe to the person
who dares TO touch it before the cock crows
The peasants rise at 4 O'Clock on
in honor of the resurrection" At
Twickenham there was an ancient custom
of dividing two great cakes among the
young people. In 1915 parliament, looking
upon it as a superstition, ordered the custom
abandoned, and that loaves Of bread should
be bought with the money for the poor OF the
parish. These were thrown from the steeple
to be scrambled for. 10 some parts Of
England there is still the custo n of eating a
CANNON of bacon at Easter. This was
founded on the adherence our forefathers
wished to express toward the Jews for their
part in the crucihxion. One superstition is
expressed III the following lines:
ION Easter let your clothes be new,
Or else be sure you will it rue"
A superstition long practiced on the con-
tinent was to abstain from eating flesh on
Easter day, In order to escape fever dur
ing the year In Derbyshire is a spring
called dropping Tor" To this young
men and maidens resort, each with
pound Of sugar in one pocket and a cup in
the other They fill the cup with droppings
from the spring, dissolve the sugar in it
and drink it with anticipated matrimonial
results. Judging from the quantity Of
sugar, the anticipated results, if realized,
are sure to be sweet. A yet stranger Gus
tom was once common among all classes in
England and still prevailed at the begin
ming Of the present century. ION
Easter Monday" says the historian,
"parties OF six or eight women sur
round snch persons of the opposite sex as
they happen to meet, and, with or
without their consent lift them three times
above their heads, shouting at each eleva-
ton, I'm representation OF our Savior's
resurrection" The men In similar par ties
do the same on Easter Tuesday. A custom
happily fallen into disuse il that Of wives
beating their husbands on Easter tuesday,
and husbands their wives on the day follow
ing. Such customs, as well as that OF young
couples rolling down Greenwich hill, are
proofs of the rude aud coarse manners
which prevailed in earlier English life.
or the decorations Of ''pace-eggs" IL is
needless to speak. Every Easter, in the
time of Louis XIV. eggs thus embelllshed
used 10 be piled high In pyramids OH the
royal table at Versailles When the king
had surveyed the pile Of toys he distributed

TO THE PEOPLE OF SAVANNAH.

The congregation of the Indepen lent Presby-
terrain Church have formally resolved to under
take at once the restoration to its original form
of their church building, destroyed by fire on
the night of the 9th inst To carry the work to
successful completion will require sustained
effort and large means. The people of the
church feel this. and are prepared to do their
utmost, but they will need help from the com
munity and they confidently appeal to the citi.
zens of Savannah to extend it to them. The
many expressions of sympathy, good will, and
the desire to help in rebuilding the church that
have come to the congregation from every
quarter induce them to believe that this appeal
will not be in vain.
subcommittee will call upon citizens gen
orally at an early day for the voluntary contri-
buttons, and any persons at distance, old
friends or perhaps former members of the con-
gregation, who desire to take part in the good
work may remit to any member of the COM
mittee of Ways and Means.

REPORT OF STATE COMMISSION.
EEtjsE Err, sR E
An Interesting Array ofFacts Figures
and Conclusions ofa Variety OF
Labor Topics In the
Buckeye State.

COLUMBUS. O., Feb. 20.-The Dis
patch regards the report OF Commits
siOner Fassett, which has been filed
with the governor, as one Of the most
interesting ever issued from the labor
statistician's office. IL is voluminous
document, divided into five parts, and
covers a variety of topics. A new
feature is that which relates tn mort
cages ehtedness-valuable on ac-
count Of its relation to the financial and
tariff questions. The investigation was
Of real estate mortgages only, and the
inquiry embraces all the uncancelled
mortgages remaining for the period of
eighteen years from 1870 to June /, 1888,
inclusive. This Fart Of the report is
not quite complete, returns from five
counties being still out, but these will
be ready in time for the printing.
The information concerning street
railroads is very complete. There are
2,6l4 persons employed in the service;
average wages S1.63 per day; average of
time ten hours and forty-eight minutes
per day. The number of men employ
ed and the average wages obtained in
two hundred towns and villages are
given in twenty-five of the leading
trades, as follows, the figures being for
number engaged and average daily
wages: Printers, 1892, wages 1929 a
day; !, ,563 plasterers, $1.94; 1923 timers,
81 $50; 1866 cabinet makers, So; 1885

| ,5s7 bricklayers, 1924; 934 plumbers,
$2.77; 474 pattern makers, $2,58; 1,707
coopers, $1.S6.
Besides there are 80, ,419 farm laborers.
average wages 72 cents a day; 1907
coal miners, $1.75 day; 788 iron ore
miners, 81 IL; $500 unskilled laborers,
$1.17; 1924 male skilled, $1.48; u,764

81 .3S: 5000 saleswomen, SO cents; ,437
book-keepers (employed in mercantile
establishments exclusively at book
keeping), $1.96.
In 200 towns and villages there are
6, 1897 industrial establishments, empty
ing 194, ,061 men, 80, 3,2l3 women and 49,
400 boys. In the same towns there are
$2O2, 800, ,836.O7 invested as capital, and
the product is 1884,, SIS, ,450.72.
The commissioner thinks the work.
ing people depend too much on legis-
lation for relief from the burdens that
beset them. The relief, he thinks, will
come from agitation and organization,
and in this way only can the masses be
educated to the adoption Of the eight
hour law. He recommends legislation
to restrict trusts, and thinks that the
Cole bill will accomplish the desired
result. Mr.. Fassett made suggestions
relative to the mechanics Lien law,
and urges that 1t be 80 amended as to
give the laborer first lien upon all pro-
perty upon which he worked.

Pay no attention to slanderers or
gossip mongers. Keep straight on in
your course, and let their backbitings
die the death of neglect. What is the
use of lying awake at nights, brooding
over the remark of some false friend
that runs through our brain like forked
lightning? What's the use of getting
into worry and fret over gossip that
has been afioat to your disadvantageby
some meddlesome body who had more
time than character? These things
can't possibly injure you, unless you
take notice of them, and In combating
them give them character and standing.
Ifwhat they said about you is true, set
1t right at once; if it Is false, let 1t 20.
II bee stings you, would you 60 to the

in the end I'VE stop to refute oil the
backbitings and gossipings we may
hear by the way. They are. annoying,
II Is true, but not dangerous, so long as
we do not stop to expOstulate and dscold.'
Our characters are formed and sustain

and not by others. Let us all bear iri

MORE HARMONY.
Gen. John Beatty, OF Columbus, Has
His Respects to Foraker.

In an interview published in a CO.
lumbus paper yesterday Gen. John
Beatty, stalwart republican, has this to
say about Mr.. Foraker:
II have not seen him for a year, and
am told that even Foster, who first
brought him into prominence, don't
know him anymore, but I don't think he
made any fling at Sherman at the Lin
coin banquet. His three years Of Office
have been chiefly spent in attending
fairs and shows and otherwise parading
himself. While away from his office
his duties have been we'll performed by
a clerk. His action in removing Con-
gressmen Grosvenor from the Xenia
Soldiers home shows that he regards
the appointing power as his persoal pro-
perty. Even his protest to Cleveland's
proposed surrender of the rebel flags, I
am told, was suggested by the Hon.
George X. Nash. Some of his appoint
ees are good, respectable men, but
many of them are dead beats. The
only mark ofdistinction he ever achiev-
ed was when he was snubbed by Mrs.
Cleveland. He rode two horses at the
Chicago convention and never support
ed Sherman at all until driven to do so
by insane jealousy of Mckinley. It
was the intention of Gov. Foraker's
friends at Chicago to play the game
with diplomatic subtlety. Foraker was
to be sprung at the proper moment,
and grand hurrah made to carry the
day, but they were not equal to the
WOrk.n
