Only One Night Out to Florida.


When you come to think of it, the Monon
Route has shortened the time to thirty
seven hours and twenty minutes between
Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla, and affords
choice of interesting tourist routes via
either Indianapolis and CINCINNATI, or Lou
grass regions of Kentucky. The magnii-
GENT system of Pullman's Perfected Safety
Vestibuled Sleepers constitutes practically
q Through Car Line between Chicago, jack
sonville, Townsville, New Orleans and the
Southern Winter Resorts, the transfer con-
sisting in merely being ushered from one
Pullman car into another.
At Chattanooga is again afforded choice
of lines en- route to Jacksonville, either line
of which passes through scenes of histor-
icai interest -Four times every day in the
year the beautiful trains of the Monon

Fifth Day.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. s.-Yesterday mornings
session of the National Framers' Alliance
and Industrial Union was occupied in dis
cussiOn of new features in the constitution
that were adopted.
The new features relate generally to
changes in the secret work. Statutory laws
for the government of the body were passed,
and this occupied a large portion of the fore
noon. South Dakota and Kansas delega-
tiOns from the Northern Alliance knocked at
the doors for admission and were taken into
full fellowship. They accepted the instruc.
tons il secret work, and some time was con-
sumed in its explanation.
The business agents held several sessions
during the week for the purpose of organic
ing an association and formulating plan OF
action. J. B. Dimes, of st. Louis, acted as
chairman, and Oswald Wilson, of New York,
secretary. Their report was ratified by the
convention yesterday, and, in substance, is
as follows: The name of this branch of work
shall be the States Business Agents Asso-
citation. The object IL to promote aaJ
encourage the exchange of the Various
articles consumed and produced n the
different sections of the COUNTY, so
as to have them pass directly
from the producer to the consumer. They
will also assist each other IN Ssevising the
oest D,eans for encouraging TIE membership
in the respective States to Genuine their trad
ing entirely to the channels recommended
by their State organ izatfOns. The business
agents will also collect reports as to the con-
dition of the CROPS ssnually. The members
of this association are confined to the State
business agents effd managers of exchanges
established'unde the auspices of the Farm
ers Alliance and Industrial Union. The
following are members of this associa-
ton: j. s. Bird, of Alabama; W. w.

The Business Agents Association is simply
an organization to do away with the middle
men in the farmers trade. Each s tate has
an exchange, from which travel the business
agents to take orders from the cooperative
farmers stores over the counties. The SUBJ
5ect of establishing national exchange in
New York was discussed at some length, but
it was considered advisable not to enter into
that arrangement at present
There was no adjournment for dinner, the
session lasting from a m to p. m, as the
desire was to finish business and return
home. A new committee was organized. to
be known as the judiciary committee. The
men elected to compose it were R. G. Patty,
of Mississippi, chairman, to serve three
years; Isaac McCracken, of Arkansas, to
serve two years, and Evan Jones, of Texas,
to serve one year. One new member will
! thus be elected each year. This committee
is similar to trial court All differences
that arise between the loca! and State lodges,
and which can not be satisfactorily settled
by the State bodies, can be appealed to the
judiciary committee for final Jurisdiction.
The members of the new executive COM
mittee for the ensuing year are: C. w. Ma
| cune (chairman), ofWashington City, and A.
of Tennessee. 1t is probable that the exec
utive committee will meet the Knights of
Labor committee and jointly act as legis-
lative committee in Washington to look
after the pushing of such measures as both
bodies have mutually agreed upon.
The headquarters of the Industrial Union
have been permanently located in Washing
ton City, where the president and secretary
of the union and also the chairman of the
executive committee will establish their Of.
fees and transact business.
President Polk. Secretary Turner and
Treasurer Hickman will each draw salcry
of 5000 per an1um. The president ;s al
lowed the expenses also of employing Fri
vate secretary, which will entail an addi-
tiOnal cost of at least 81 600 per annum. The
chairmen of the executive committee, DR.. c.
w. Aacune, will also receive a salary of s., 600
year.
The only committee members that get
salaries are the three of the judiciary COM
mittee, who each get 81 900 year. The total
amount of salaries borne by the Nat ional
treasury is $4,000, and incidental expenses
will run it up to at least $4,000 year.
At present the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union has 1,550,OOO voters,
and 100000 more from the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association will come in during tAe
year. The Northern Alliance States tGet
have already joined will command at leaft
100000. So, the farmers can claim close On
to 100000 voters in the Union Ely
spring. The total number of farmers
in the United States is $500, 900.
The Farmers Union, therefore, controls
about half of the agriculturists of
the country. The Knights of Labor how hare
900 members in good standing, and they
will join the farmers in urging legislation to
be agreed upon.
The convention adjourned to meet on the
second Tuesday in December, 1890, at Jack

GOOSE CREEK ISLAND.

One of the Most Unique Places to BE Found
in the South.
Goose Creek Island on the North
Carolina coast is one of the most mac
cessible, uncomfortable places to be
found in the South. Its area comprises
several thousand acres, and it's soil is
unusually fertile and admirably adapted
for the raising of cattle. The island is
surrounded for many miles inland by al
most impossible swamps; access by wa
ter is had through a narrow, tortuous
channel only navigable by the smallest
of craft. For miles around the water
outside of the passage way is only few
inches in depth, and a man in rubber
boots could wade dry shod all Gay along
this worthless stretch of wSser, which
is too shallow for fish and too deep for
agriculture. Hence the islanders lead a
very retired and isolated life. practically
as much shut off from the world as if
they were in the midst of t:ae Atlantic.
There are about $50 houses On the place

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7.-Yesterday's session of
at eight O'Clock, with President Jones in the

to the adjustment of the representation from

become members of the order, and both
males and females are allowed to be sent as
delegates to the National convention, vet so
far only male members have acted in the
capacity of delegates. The basis of r,spre-

bership, both male and female, one delegate
being allowed for each 10000 members in q.

Trial BIZ Jury I'm Ru..Ia-

The conservative press in Russia never
looked favorably upon the system of
Jury trials, and always urged its aboli-
tion. The fact that political offenses
were not tried by juries was constantly
used as an argument against the entire
system And the new minister Of jus
tice in Russia, Mr.. Manassein. In obedi-
ence to their appeals, has just procured
the enactment of a new law taking out
of the hands of juries a large number of
important criminal cases. But this only
strengthened the hands OF the CONSERVE
tives and encouraged them to demand
further action in the same direction. On
the other hand the liberal press is no less
dissatisfied with the proceeding, and per-
fectly agrees with the conservatives that
II the trial by jury is good at all no ex-
ceptions Whatever are either just or ra-
%tional, and that II it is bad for some
things it is bad for all There, however,
the agreement ends. Whereas the con-
servatives hope to succeed in abolishing
the jury trials in Russia, the liberals de-
sire to obtain for it full recognition

Points for Husbands-

Do not jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you utter,
though you never think of 1t again. Do
not speak of some virtue in another
mans wife to remind your own of a
fault. Do not reproach your wife with
personal defects, for, If she has sensi-
bilty, you infict a wound difficult to
heal Do not treat your wife with in
attention in company. Do not upbraid
her in the presence Of a third person,
nor entertain her with praising the
beauty and accomplishments of other
women. Do not be stern and silent in
your house, and remarkable for sociabil-
ity elsewhere.
Remember that your wife has as much
need of recreation as yourself, and de-
vote a portion, at least, of your leisure
hours to such society and amusements as
you may join. By 30 doing you will Sc
cure her smiles and increase her affec-
ton. Do not, being too exact in pecuni-
airy matters, make your wife feel her
dependence upon bounty. 1t tends to
lessen her dignity Of character and does
not increase her esteem for you. II she
is a sensible woman she should be ac-
quainted with your business and know
your income, that she may regulate her
household expenses accordingly. Do
not withhold this knowledge in order to
cover your own extravaganza. Women
have a keen perception. Be sure she
will discover your selfshness, and,
though no word is spoken, from that
moment her respect is lessened and her
confidence diminished, pride wounded,
and a thousand, perhaps unjust, sus-
picions created. From that moment is
your domestic comfort on the wane.-
