IT is no light thing to disturb re-
ligious meeting in Georgia. The other
evening while prayer was being offered
in the Oconee Church the sharp snap
of an igniting match disturbed the
congregation. just before the bene-
diction was pronounced the preacher
said: eff the young man who struck
that match will come forward after
services and acknowledge it, or say it
was accidental, we will excuse him;
but if he does not there is man in
this house who will sift it out, and it
will cost him more than one thousand
boxes of matches at wholesale. After
the benediction young man and 9
young woman walked forward, and the
youth said it was the young woman
who had done the awful deed. "How
did it happen, my sister," asked the
parson. She said: "Well, sir, had
the match in my hand and was rubbing
it on the bench, not thinking of what I
was doing, and before I knew it the
thing went off," She was excused. 1t
is said that several years ago in a
church in Athens, Ca, o young man
was fined $500 for doing just what the
sister did.

Mr.. Guy Maine, the Chinese lecturer,
related the following instance in re-
gard to Chinese tea drinking. He
said that when he was boy about IL
years old he lived with his father, who

the kettle. About bali hour after
ward his father called for his tea.
which Guy took to him and returned
to work. Shorty the old gentleman
called him again and a,ke,l him if he
did not tell llim never to put his hand
in the tea kettle.
well, 7 said Guy L did not know
whether my fatherwas pee1iDg through
the keyhole waite ing me or not. So ]

At the annual meeting of the Kansas
state board of agriculture, Governor Click
spoke upon the Dressed Beef Combine.
He referred to the circumstance that ten
years ago the shipper of the west who
shipped cattle into Chicago would lind
there hundreds of buyers from the east,
who were ready to buy cattle for shipment
to eastern markets. Now there were but
two classes of cattle, corn fed and range,
and no distinction was made in the price.
The shipper now has to sell to the dressed
beef men, and they control the demand in
such way as to be able to fix the price
absolutely. In some places, for instance
in Cincinnati, butchershops were opened
and wera supplied b. ,1-a ca. caso dressed
beef lnonopohsts. This has been followed
up in Columbus and other cities until now
the local butchers have been run out of
business. and the monopolists have the
field. Those buyers who were formerly
stationed at hicago to buy have been
Withdrawn, and there is no opposition
buyer there left to compete for the cattle.
He pointed out as the only method of
meeting this monopoly local inspection,
and he believed that the present Kansas
legislature would follow the example of
other legislatures with law making local
inspection practicable.

Frederic Harrison, who had just pub
ished his study of Oliver Cromwell
A good deal Of conversation took place
on the subject of the book, and Mr..
Gladstone asked Mr.. Harrison if he
really thought Cromwell very great
man. Mr.. Harrison answered warmly
in the affirmative, giving his reasons,
and in return asked Mr. Gladstone
what was his estimate of the Protector,
and what position he would assign him
in the political hierarchy. Mr.. Glad
stone is said to have replied: "Well,
somewhere after Lord Althorp."

ELECTRICITY has been introduced as
a motor in the Comstock mines. By
conveying water in fumes to the mouth
of shaft on the Comstock and then
letting it fall to the level of the Sutro
Tunnel force equal to pressure of
$50 pounds to the square inch was gem
Grated. Electric motors convey the
power, with loss of only 40 per cent,
from point 1850 feet below the sur
face of the ground to the mill ON the
surface, and when the power reaches
the stamps it is found to be equivalent
to 435-horse power, which would run
any stamp mill in the world. If the
experiment proves successful, low
grade ores, which are not profitable to
work with steam power, will become
valuable.

LIEUT.. WIssMAN, the eminent Ger
man traveller, says that of late years a
great change has taken place in the
attitude of the Arabs of Africa toward
Europeans The danger of European
ascendency has made them very hos
tile, defiant and relentless. They no
longer hesitate to show that the right
belongs to them of carrying on the
slave trade, and that they mean to
exercise it. The slave dealers charged
Lieutenant Wissman to inform the
English on Lake Tanganyika that any
attempt on their part to interfere with
the traffic would bring war upon them.
The traveller is convinced that warlike
measures against the Arabs must be
resorted to il secure foundation is
sought for the establishment of Euro
pean civilization in Africa.

sensible CHANCES Contemplated.

The report of the commission Of treas
ury officials appointed BY Secretary Fair
child last March to inquire into and re-
port what changes are needed in the
methods of the department in order to
simplify the transaction of public Dusl-
ness has been completed. Several impor-
tant changes are recommended and will be
adopted, which will materially lessen the
labor involved in q prompt and accurate
settlement Of treasury accounts. A new
warrant system devised by the commission
will require the signature of the secretary
to but from ten to twelve thousand war
rants, whore heretofore the secretary and
his assistants have had to sign one hum
dred thousand or more annually. The
system of bookkeeping and recording will
be radically changed in some Of the ac-
counting offices, especially in the first
auditors and second controllers offices,
where 1t is believed the record Of accounts
can be kept with one-fourth of the labor
formerly required, and a large consolida-
ton of accounts of the same class has
been made by which the number OF war
rants will be still further reduced, with q
considerable curtailment OF the clerical
labor of signing, checking, recording and
filing. The total abolition of copying by
hand into record books of all letters writ
ten is recommended, and the employment
of proxies to perform clerical work is con-
demned

Decided i'm Favor of Bird.

Secretary Villas, who had been requested
to arbitrate in the contest for the govern
orship of the Chickasaw nation, has sent
a telegram to Messrs. Bird and Guy, the
contestants, in which he cited the Chicka-
saw constitution in regard to the canvass
ing of votes, etc., and said that in the
execution of its provisions William Bird
had been declared elected by the speaker
of the Chickasaw house, in the presence
of the members of both houses. The gov
ernor had taken the oath, delivered his
message, and since acted as governor as
far as the contest permitted. Although
the returns appeared to have disclosed a
majority for Guy, no right to review the
constitutional action of the speaker in the
presence and with the approval Of the
legislature in joint session can rest else
where than in the courts of the Chickasaw
nation, even if they have such Jurisdiction.

What the Wool Growers Desire.


At Washington Saturday morning the
senate committee on finance heard dele
cation from the National Wool Growers
association. The principal address was
made by Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, who
spoke in favor of the incorporation into
the tariff bill of wool schedule prepared
by the association and submitted to the
committee. The schedule proposed di-
vides wool into three classes-cloth1ng,
combing and carpet. The duty on woods
of the first and second class shall be IL
Alpaca goat, camel, llama, and like other
animals. The woods of the third class,
valued at - cents a pound or less, shall
pay cents DUTY; valued at over 10 cents,
cents pound. Prepared wool shall pay
extra duty, according to the character of
preparation. Wastes, compound wholly
or in part of wool or worsted, thirty cents
a pound; wooden rags, shoddy, etc., 20
cents pound. Woods dyed or otherwise
prepared beyond securing or washing shall
pay the same duty as manufactured wool.
Nearly all the delegation took part in the
hearing. President Harpster insisted up
on the committee recognizing that Presi-
dent Cleveland had made the issue of free
wool in the recent election, and that the
wool men had won. At the session of the
wool growers convention, resolutions
were adopted requesting prominent mer-
chants and dealers to consider the subject
of establishing bureau for the purpose
of concentrating statistical information
relating to the supply and demand of wool,
and also asking them to establish system
of grades of wool which will abolish state
terms" or substitute series of standard
grades embracing all the wool grown in
the different wool producing states.
