of the members Of the Four Hundred were
hunted up, and it was found that many of
their ancestors were tories in the time of the
revolution, and that many who were mush-
rooms of later growth had nothing but an-
cestral wealth to gain them admission to the
ranks of the aristocrats. These facts were
hurled at the Four Hundred and war was de-
clared upon their autOcratic action in the
preparations for the centennial ball. 1t is
insisted that the affair is not so much social
as patriotic event, and should be conducted
in a patriotic manner. This has become a
subject of discussion in the public press and
thus the political and social leaders of New
York city stand drawn up in battle array
against each ether.

Opium Dives in Washington,

The opium habit is said TO be very
prevalent at Washington, especially
among society women. The endless
round of balls and receptions destroys
their nervous systems, and in order to
obtain sleep they resort TO opiates OF
various kinds, finally becoming con-
firmed opium consumers and ready TO
sacrifice everything for the coveted
drug.

The Last OF Lent.

Society awakening from its forty days
slumber during Lent impatiently shakes off
its robe of sackcloth and ashes and, with
dissipated energies renewed by a long rest,
is donning once more the gay colors of the
reception and ball rooms Already grand
and brilliant gatherings are being planned
and until the heated term sets in joyous
time is anticipated. The effect of Lent upon
Omaha society this year was something un-
precedented, this being the first time that it
caused an almost entire cessation
of social gatherings of all kinds.
Religious motives could not be ad-
duced as the only reason for
this as probably half of the So
ciety people of Omaha are out
side the pale of the church and enough
would be left to carry on the giddy whrl
without scarcely missing their more sancti-
monious friends. The more probable reason
is that the Lenten period gave the votaries
of pleasure an excuse for resting and they
gladly availed themselves of it. The past
season was remarkably brilliant one and
consequently very exacting in its demands on
the energy, time and pocketbooks of the
society people. Any period of rest would be
hailed with pleasure and Lent coming as it
did on the heels of winter, was most relig-
iousy observed rs far as abstinence from
late hours and heated ball rooms are con-
cerneu

What We Export.

Statistician Dodge of the United States
agricultural department has prepared a
table of figures on the annual production
and export trade of the Union.
Our agricultural exports consist al
most altogether of cotton, tobacco. meats,
breadstuffs, butter and cheese. These
articles constitute 81 per cent. of farm
products exported.
The largest crop is of course corn. OF
that LISA, ,s61 ,53s bushels are produced
annually. We export only $4,000, 900,
using the rest at home. Mr.. Dodge's
figures show that Europe raises much
more wheat than Americans suppose, her
annual crop amounting to 1900, ,000, 900
bushels. America does not raise nearly
so much, our crop footing up only half a
billion bushels. Of this, however, we
export to Europe 81, 600. 900. Besides her
own crop, it takes 44,000, 900 bushels of
wheat additional to feed Europe.
Russia alone produces more rye than
the whole United States does But no
country except the United States pro-
duces much Indian corn. Great Britain
alone takes three-quarters of the corn we
export. We export no rice at all, al
though Europe imports and uses every
year !, 900, ,000, 900 pounds.
All but three countries of Europe make
at home more butter and cheese than
they need. These three are Great Britain,
Belgium and Portugal, and they import
annually 25,OOO,OO0 pounds of butter.
Here the United States gets in some good
work, sending to these countries "a ,000,-
900 pounds. Europe imports annually
100000, 900 pounds of cheese, and of this
we send her 11s,000,000. We have thus
practically command of the butter and
cheese European market. Yet some of
the salt, soured butter we send is strong
enough to walk alone, and some Of the
cheese is made of lard and skim milk.
Let us hope the national pride of our
dairymen will become aroused in this
matter sufficiently to use to the best ad-
vantage their shining opportunities.
We export more than two-thirds of all
the cotton required in Europe; but, on
the other hand, Europe gets from other
countries three times as much wool as
we send her, much of it from South
America and Australia.
The United States makes no remark
able figure as country of exports. We
ought to raise more fax and hemp. We
import annually s2o,Ooo,OOO worth of
fruits, half of which ought to be pro-
duced at home.

Murder MYSTERIES.

Years ago the Nathan murder in New
York city made a sensation throughout
the country. Every resource known to
the detective agencies of that time was
brought to bear, yet the murder remains
to this day an unsolved mystery.
It seems not SO surprising, perhaps,
that the murderer of Nathan was never
known. But it does seem strange that
today, with all our telegraphs, tele-
phones, rogues' galleries and rival de-
tective agencies, there should be no less
than four murders full of mystery.
Two of the bloody crimes took place in
Chicago, two in New York. In Chicago
Tascott, the supposed murderer of mill
ionaire Smell, is indeed known, but he
has concealed himself so efectrally that
it seems as if only the day of judgment
would reveal him. That one so well
known as DR.. Cronin in Chicago could
be slain and the foul deed remain undis-
covered for weeks, although the body
was almost in plain sight all the while,
is inexplicable. -.
In New York, March Z, a young drug
clerk, Guenther Wechsung, had his skull
cloven with hatchet, in broad daylight
in the early morning, sitting in his store.
No clew to the murderer has been found,
probably now never will be.
Again, April Is, Mary Tobin, a re-
spectacle young lady, leaves Port Rich
mond, Staten Island, to go to New York,
and thence to her home in Pennsylvania.
Two weeks afterwards her body is found
floating in the waters of New York bay.
So far as known the girl had not an
enemy in the world. How did she come
to her death? Not a ray of light has
been thrown on the case thus far.
viii the Tobin case also join the dark
procession of mysterious murders?
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1889-06-05

Some French scientists have new cure
for drunkenness. 1t is to hypnotize or
mesmerize the drunkard. He is kept
under the influence of the spell sufi-
cient time, long or short, till the appetite
for alcohol wears out. He is simply held
for the time by an influence which is
stronger than the craving for liquor.
The principle is the same>that Anton
Mesmer made use of in his day.
