The Cronin Case Crowds

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Long before the
hour for the converting of court in the
Cronin trial this morning, hundreds
of spectators were clamoring for adj
mittance and it required a small army
of bailiffs to keep at bay the eager
ones who demanded admittance.
Promptly at ten o'clock the spectators
assembled were raped to order and
as the defendants filed in and the at
torneys took their seats, the clerk
called the roll of jurors. Every man
responded to his name and the Cronin
trial formally began.

state of Manufacturing.

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Fall River, 1.-the city of spindles"
is the scene of considerable discussion
on the part Of cotton manufacturers
in regard toreducing operatives wag-
es. Print cloths have been declining
in price, and the Fall River Board of
Trade has no hesitation to say that if
business does not improve a few
weeks hence wages will be lowered.
Whether this will be the case re-
mains to be seen, but the matter is
under consideration, and further de-
velopments will be awaited with inter-
est. Another matter of interest to cot
ton manufacturers is the tendency
that exists to erect factories in
the South. Just at present the e.
rection of a cottOn-mill in Denison,
Tex, in which Lowell capital is lar
gely interested, is absorbing the at
tention of a number of capitalists,
and the new factory is assured. The
increase of the mills in operation in
the Southern States since 1880 is
something remarkable, 1877 more fac
tories being operated than nine years
ago. This is reckoning only the larg-
or concerns and counting the numer-
Gus smaller factories running on very
coarse goods.
The shoe factories in the New Eng
land states are running busily, and
the majority of them are being driv-
en- to keep up with orders, while
many of the factories have business
enough on hand to keep running
through the season. Not so much
building is in progress, but here and
there new factories are being erected,
and concerns are enlarging capaci-
ties. The iron and steel mills through
out the country are busy, and
the statement is made that all the
steel-rail mills have orders enough on
hand to keep them busy the rest OF
the year, and some mills to Febru-
airy and March.
The glass business continues to inn
prove, and this week the strike Of the
window-glass blowers of the Eastern
district was settled. The manufac-
tories of the eastern and western dis.
tricts are now generally in blast, and
every day brings intelligence of indi'
vidual concerns resuming.

Responsible for NeWsboys.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The Supreme
court of Illinois has just decided that
the railway company allowing news
boys on it's cars, is responsible for any
damages they may receive. The case
was against the North Chicago Street
Railway Company, and Judgment was
for s., 342, which has been paid. The
court held that since the newsboy was
permitted on the cars; he was not a
trespasser, and being allowed to jump
on and off, the company assumed re-
sponsibility for any damages that
might ensue. This is the first decision
of the kind, and is ofgreatimportance
to railroad people.

The ParnelI Commission Resume'

LONDON Oct. 24.-The Parnell COM
mission resumed its sittings today.
Joseph Biggar, member of parlia-
ment for West Cavan, who appeared
in his own behalf, addressed the
commission. When he finished his
speech Mr.. Davitt addressed the
commissioners. He said that he was
running counter to the opinion
of the people of Ireland, who en-
dorsed the withdrawal from the case
of Mr.. Parnell and his colleagues.
He was impelled to the course he had
adopted by the two cardinal princi-
Piles of his life, religious adherence
to truth and justice and the defense
of the character and cause of the Irish
peasantry.

The commissioners have arrived
here from the Sac and Fox agency.
Their negotiations with the Sacs and
Foxes were not favorable. The Indi-

tempting offer in sullen silence. There
seemed to be no disposition among
them to sell. The Indian post trader
and numerous squaw men who have
great influence over them have pois-

sioners. Before leaving the Sac and
Fox country, news came from the
Iowa reservation that the Iowas had
become alarmed about the land and
were preparing to submit to the inev-
liable. There was already a great
scramble for choice lands.

SHERMAN, the deadest town in
Texas, the town that is too dead to
bury it's own corpse, has been galvan-
lied into life long enough to make the
following feeble kick at San Antonio ::
"The San Antonio market appears
to be overstocked with mummies, the
latest quotation from that city ties
them up in punches like asparagus
and sells them three for quarter"
Even this kick of dead mule under
a galvanic battery may have it's uses,
and if San Antonio would accept it as
spur to increased effort it would do no
harm. But such a screed from de-
funct Sherman 1t was not expected.

Our schools waste their store by drawing

worry of public examinations, through ex'
acting the same tasks of the bright and OF

persistent attention to the sanitary condi-

The January and February report of the
Department of Agriculture contains the
annual estimates Of the increase or decrease
Of farm animals and their value in each
Of the states and territories. the estimates
being made for the first day Of January.
The report also has statistics of live stock
in the principal European countries British
America, South America, Australia, etc ,
and the usual statement Of the freight
rates Of transportation companies stats
tics of the canning industry are also given.
The estimates show decline since Jan
l. 1888, Of about half million in the num-
her of sheep in the United States but
there has been an advance in prices, which
slightly increases their aggregate value.
All other farm animals have increased in
number. There is a large proportionate
increase in the number of horses and milch
cows. The report says
The numbers in cattle of all kinds ex-
coed the estimate of last year by more than
a million The increase is rapid in all the
states where farm extension is in progress,
as in the newer western states and Texas,
Arkansas and Tennessee. There is much
dissatisfaction with the low prices of cattle,
which has tended to reduction in some plac-
es, and in others holding for better prices
has tended to enlargement of numbers.
There is much local complaint of combina
ton of dealers and butchers to control
prices, and of the discrimination of rail

as reported in many southern localities 1t
is hopeful sign, indicating greater pop
ularty of cattle growing and leading ulti-
mately to increase of numbers.
There appears to be slight further re
duction in numbers of sheep, due to dis
enlargement at the low price of wool. 1t
is gratifying to observe evidences of re-
assurance in the future of sheep husband
ry, which may effect an increase of num-
bers hereafter. In some sections a slight
increase is already perceptible"
The number of mich cows in Vermont
is estimated at 232, 3l9-a gain of three per
cent since January, 1889, and a gain OF
about 49, 600 since the census of 1880. The
increase of the number of horses the past
year, in Vermont, is reported at % per
cent; oxen and other cattle at 3 per cent.
The average price of horses over three
years old, in Vermont, is estimated at
$685. 0 between two and three years old

An excellent baseball player in the South
recently astonished his employers by refus-
ing to sign an agreement unless allowed to
drop out of Sunday games. As he is a good
player, the managers thought best to ac-
cede to his terms, and are now consoling
themselves with the belief that he will play
enough better to more than make up for
the loss of his time on Sunday games This
is undoubtedly true Six days of labor in
the week are as much as body or brain can
stand. In those kinds of business where
work is necessary seven days in Il eek,
extra help should be employed, so tuat all
can have one day in seven for rest, the man
whom necessity obliges to work on Sunday
taking his rest on some other day in the
week. Milkmen deliver milk seven days in
the week, and there is always on farms
much work in the care of stock-feeding,
watering and bedding-that must be done
every day in the week. Where this work
is sufficient to occupy one mans time through
the day, he is entitled to his rest one day in
seven but on most farms the chores that
must necessarily be done every day in the
week take so little time, that, if each one
does his or her part, the labor need be on
erous on none.-Am. CuHirdtOr.
