BOSTON REPUBLIC: The Argentine
Republic has long had considerable
lumber of Observation-Disclosures
among it's population, and of late the
number of those individuals has been
materially increased owing to the large
emigration from Ireland. So we'll
pleased is this South American repub-
lie with the new corners that 1t is hold
ing out great inducements to Irish en-
migrants. Buenos Ayres papers de-
clare that, Judging from present indi.
cations, fully 100, 900 1rishmen, a sufi-
Gent number to make up in ten years
ssSperanza's" million decade will
be added to the population of the Ar
gentine Republic this year, but they
are leaving out of their calculations the
fact that the Irish prelates, for excellent
reasons, are strongly dissuading the
Irish people from emigrating TO South
America, where, despite all the prom
Uses of the government, Irish immi-
grants find the new country anything
but Paradise. The certainty that
Ireland will soon be rid of her rackrent~
ing landlords and castle hacks, and
have q government Of her own choos-
ing, is another thing that is going to
interfere with the expectations Of these
South American neighbors of ours by
persuading Irishmen to remain at home
and wait for the good time coming.

THE KINDERGARTEN.
six Hundred and Five Dollars
Already Contributed.

The meeting of the Free kindergarten
Society was held in DR.. Battles office
Yesterday at $50 p. M. There was Il
very large attendance and the room was
SO crowded that many had to sit on
the window sillS. The visiting committee
gave a very interesting account of the
work they had done. Another place for
the kindergarten rooms was suggested
and Prof. Claxton and Miss Garrison
were appointed to see about getting
different rooms. Apropos of this Prof.
ClaXton said that gentleman had
kindly offered to put upa building, which
would cost 300. give chem the land,
and lease the building to them until they
had paid the principal and interest. An
assistant teacher is sadly needed to help
Miss Garrison at the Kindrrgartcn
school and Mrs. Claxton, Miss Fincke,
Miss Drummond, Miss Miller and others
have kindly consented to assist her in
her work until January lst when a per-
manent teacher will be procured.
The following gentlemen were elected
members of the advisory board: Mr..
Martin, Mr.. Collins Mr.. Graham, Dr.
MiIlard and Prof. ClaSton.
The report on the finances of the So
cicty was submitted by Prof. Claxton.
According to this statement, forty odd
dollars were collected at the public
schools on Wednesday and turned over
to the society. Also the Riverside mis-
sion Sunday school has promised the So
ciety one collection for their special bene-
tit every month. Exclusive of the mem-
bership fees, $5O5 have been received.
uSt as Prot. ClaXtOn made this state
ment, a note was handed to the
secretary, Miss Newton. II was opened
and out tumblcd a bran new hun
.'nei dollar bill which Miss Garrison
had sent i'll a letter, stating that it had
been received from a friend of the So
ciety. MI agreed that they would like to
hear from a few more friends This
made the amount received reach the
grand total Of $605.
As many people desire to send clothing
to the society but do not know where to
leave it, Miss Penniman kindly proposed
to have it sent to Mrs. W, 7. Pennman's,
where it will be taken care of and handed
over to the society. Here is chance to
dispense with the "old clos" man and

MADISON SUPERIOR COURT.
An Unexpected Interruption In
Trial for Divorce.

a gentleman present at the court gives
lis the following incident as occurring in
the court during proceedings in a trialfor
divorce:
An interesting incident occurred at
Madison superior court few DAYS ago.
Mrs. Sallie Weir. a most cstimahle lady
vino resides at Hot Springs, y. c., sev-
cral months ago brought an action for a
divorce from her husband. DR.. Weir, whJ
deserted her few years after her mar
riagc with him Owing To the slight
proof she had been able to obtain, the
Jury found the issues Submitted to them
against her. In order to obtain a new
trial, at which he hoped to obtain evi-
dence sutticcni to get divorce, hcrcoun-
sci, Judge Stafford, asked the court to SIT
aside the verdict of the jury, and as Mrs.
Nelr's wrongs had excited the svmDa-
thy of all who heard the trial, every
member of the bar present voluntarily
asked Judge Whitaker to grant the mo-
ton. While the last speech was being
made to the court, Mr.. Harry Rumhough
came into court, aud asking leave OF the
attorney who was addressing the court
that intelligence from an unqucstionably
reliable I = source, an item in a ncwspa-
per published in another State, had Just
been received of the death of Dr Weir,
and that it was unnecessary for the court
to set the verdict aside. This annouce-
mcnt produced a sensation. Judge Shu-
ford, however, with his provcrhial eau
ton, arose and stated to the court that
for fear DR.. Weir was not as dead as he
ought to he, he felt it his duty to insist
upon his notion Judge Whitaker ow-
ing to the peculiar circumstances Of the
case then ordered the verdict OF the jury
to be set aside, with the understanding
that the order was not to be construed
into reflection upon the jury, as they
had discharged their duty very properly

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in The Grain Center DUR
ing Yesterdays session.

CHICAGO, November 29.-Whcat-A
moderate speculative business was trans
acted and the feeling was Il little tame.
Local traders rather inclined to selling
sides, and prices averaged lower. Buy
ing was only of moderate character
and rather scattered. though moderate
purchases for May delivery were again
reported on foreign account. Fluclua-
tions were confined within small range,
covering lsa5sc. The opening was &C..
lower, ,ased off lsc. more, then rallied
h4a5sc., fell back again asc, and closed
1aal4c. lower than wednesday.
Corn-A General surprise was in store
for operators III this market to-day, and
il developed in the shape of material
closed Wednesday at 3212c., opened to-
day with sales at 33l2c. and advanced
with a slight reaction to 35c. Pit was
the centre OF attraction, and great excite
ment prevailed. This was the principal
feature OF the day The present !ow
stock OF contract corn IL store, the last
report making the amount less than
900, 900 bushels, made II easy tor manlp-
ulatlon, aud a certain party or parties
have taken advantage 1T the situation,
there being short interest reported OF
about 5OU,UOO bushels distributed
through seven or Iight houses here,
The receipts of contract corn have been
light. only 30to35 per cent, being OF con
tract grade. A certain prominent local
spectators name was frequently men
toned in connection with tu-duys dd-
vance, il being the opinion ,mong tertalm
traders that the operator above mcn-
tiurCd was short, and the advance was
due to the purchases of Il large local
packer. The opening was unsettled, and
tevcrish feeling prevailed with trading
at wide range. Brokers were in a cash
crowd and the first sale off car lots were
reported AT 35e., and from this up to
Ole. was paid. Outside OF November
other months were rather neglected,
though slight advances we're scored i'll
December and May.
Oats were quiet and steady.
In mess pork little more strength
was exhibited early in the day, and prices
ruled 5a6Iac. higher on louger deliveries.
Later the feeling was easier and prices
declined 1Oa15c.
In lard the trading was moderate, and
the feeling was stronger early and prices
ruled 5Aa5c. higher, with tair sales at
advance. Later the market rcccded
again and closed rather quiet.
In short rib sides the trading was
comparatively light. Prices exhibited
very little change.

Cotton saggiug NOt a Result Of

! WASIIlNGTUN, November 29.-Patcut
| Commissioner Mitchell to-day rcndcrct
a decision i'll the cApartc Casv of Sigmuud
| OdcnhclmCr in which was involved the
appicants 5 right to a patent for the us>
of cotton as a baine fabric. Inthiscasr
the commissioner saws: THE most con.
spicuous change made by the inventor to
produce his alleged invention was the
substitution of cotton for iutc i'll the
manufacture OF bagging. The app icant
urged that cotton was specially adapted
for use i'll such manufacture, because, uu-
like iute. it is not highly intlammablc nor
brittle, lnelastic, or rough and that it
can commercially compete with iutc, not
WithStanding its greater cost. He fur
thcr claims that the discovery OF jts
value TOR such use was the result of long
experiment, attended by large expense in
ascertairing bow the threads should be
spun with great deal of twist SO as to
give uniform SmOOthncSs and hardness
and hGhtnCss in weight, and also that he
found it necessary to admit the sizing
process which diminished the elasticity OF
the threads"
The commissioner, following the re-
case of Brown Us. the District of COlum-
bin, lwherc an alleged invention in pave
mcnt consisted in substituting specially
shaped wooden blocks, laid and flied in
a certain way for blocks OF sl0HcI held
that, notwithstanding the advantages
secured by the alleged invention and the
commercial success it had received, the
applicant had in substituting one ma
terial for another, only availcd himself of
the resources aud knowledge OF the
wcavcrs' art: that the experiments and
trials prarticcd by him were merely along
the lines suggested by skill and expert

William Brown and William s. Hendcr-

Old Stock Into CaSh-The Banks
Have no Fears as to Money.
BosToN, November 29.-At the banks
there is very little apprehension OF any
serious results from the fire. as the
foreign companies which lose heavily are
prompt payers. Indeed. it is thought
the immediate result will be favorable to
the money market. As one banker said :
The burning up of stocks and merCharI-
disc is in effect the sale of them to the
insurance companies for cash. and will
result in a short time III throwing a
great deal Of cash into our banks, most
OF the insurance losses are made by
English companies as in the case of the
Lynn fire. and as these companies have
no balances here, much new money must
come from abtoud."
The assessed value of the destroyed
buildings is $796 600. Individual losers
as a rule are men abundantly able to
stand it. The electric clock in Cartlcy &
Cos banking house stopped at 6,35 p
m. Wednesday. The ianitor and janitrcSs
who were in the building at the time
saw the clock burn out The appearance
of the phenomena was rs ball of fire.
This would seem to Indicate that the fire
started in lurdan Marsh & Cos build
ing Wednesday, and smouldcred all night.
The insurance companies are likely to
profit by the fire i'll the long run, as the
demonstration that the So called fire
proof buildings are not fire proof is likely
to result in property being insured more
nearly up to it's tull value. The aggrc-
gate losses of the insurance companies
as reported by agencies is 81, ,543 22O.
The following are among the heaviest
losers, of the insurance companies:
Liverpool and London and Globe, Eng
land, $13S, 900; Royal, England, %1S+,-
900; Insurance Company, of North
America. Philadelphia, $99,35O: sun

business of Boston is, with a single cN-
Ception, wiped out, but the firms will
resume business as soon as suitable
quarters are secured. Jordan, Marsh &
Co, lost most OF their christmas stock
and small wares. As usual, a large part
of the loss was accustomed by water;
and the buildings in the vicinity not
burned are much injured by water. In
many cases it rushed out of the duors
