Fortunes FavoriteS.

Corsicana, Tex. August y, 1SS9.-COrsicana
boats to-day of two of the happiest men in
Texas, in the persons of Messrs. John n.
O'Niel and o. p. Wimberly, the lucky men
who drew $4,000 each in the Louisiana State
Lottery drawing of the 18th instant. Each
gentleman paid 81 for the one-twentieth OF
ticket No. 1888, which proved to be the num-
Der which drew the capital prize of So, TO,O0O.
There was great excitement here when the
News heralded the fact that 1000 had been
drawn in this city. Your correspondent first
sought Mr. ONiel at his restaurant and asked
to see the ticket. Uncle john" as he is
Familiarity called, was slow to realize his
luck, but after depositing his ticket with
the First National bank for collection and
getting a receipt for the same he said he be-
gan to feel like a blOated bondholder."
Mr.. o. p. Wimberly, who kept small butch
er shop here, offered to dispose of his ticket
for two bits when he heard that O'Niel
had drawn the capital prize, but no one would
buy it. Imagine his surprise when he found
that he also held the lucky number. He also
deposited his ticket with the First National
Bank for collection.
The tickets were promptly forwarded to
New Orleans, the $4,000 collected and placed
to the credit of the happy men, less the usual
rate of exchange.
Wimberly says he will take a pleasure triT
soon and when he returns home will invest
a portion of his money. Mr.. O'Niel says he

PLANETARY CONJUNCTIoNS.

A remarkable conjunction of Saturn
and Mars occurs on Friday at three
o'clock a. m. 1t is the closest con-
junction of the two planets on astro-
nomical records, Saturn being at the
time south of Mars, so that to the ma
ked eye the planets will probably
appear to coalesce. AS the conjunc-
tion occurs very near the time when
the planets rise, observers must
look for them as soon as they are
above the horizon. They must be
looked for in the northeast, where the
bright star Regulus, west and south
of Saturn, will be guide to point
them out. There are two difficulties
in the observation of this conjunction.
The planets are too far from the
earth and too near the horizon to be
seen to advantage. The diameter of
Mars is small, nearly invisible to the
naked eye. Saturn's diameter is
larger and may more easily be found.
An opera glass, or a small telescope,
will however bring them both into
the field. AS Mars plunges into the
Saturnian system he nearly occults
one of the satellites, Japetus, at five
o'clock a. m.
Saturn is in conjunction with
Venus on the 26th, at 3:1S, a. m. The
conditions for observation are more
favorable. The planets are higher
above the horizon, are easily visible,
and Regulus is in close vicinity.
The interval between them is little
greater than the diameter of the
moon.

WHAT DENVER.MAN SAYS.

Through the big storm to Calves
ton-East and West Business,
l.. J. Prince and wife of Denver are
in the city. They arrived yesterday
from New York via Galveston COM
ing through the great storm OF last
week which shook them up OIL Hat
teras in a way that was neither child
like nor bland. The steamer Comal
weathered the storm magniticently
and as the captain made light OF
danger the passengers had no idea
of the extent and violence of the
storm through which they had passed,
until they reached port and read tie
kilograms.
Mr.. Prince is real estate
man and like all other Denver
men of his kidney is live one. He
went East in August, at which time
SO copious were the showers that
there had been little need for irriga-
ton around Denver. The whole
country to the A tlantic sea-board was
a very garden for greenness and crops
were in magnificent condition. Dur
ing the past twelve months Denver
building permits have averaged a
million month, so says Mr.. Prince,
while Brooklyn, n. Y, stands first
with SIS, 100000 for the past twelve
mon this.
Mr.. Prince says that with the ex-
ception of New York and Brooklyn
the far eastern cities are not rushing
business. Albany he found dull,
Brooklyn booming and Chicago doing
about as much business as New York.
A good republican, a live business
man, one who keeps his eyes open,
Mr.. Prince believes in the west in
general and in Denver in particular.

An American hotel, run on purely
American lines, with colored cooks and
walters, Boston beans, green corn, terra
pin soup, canvas-back ducks and all the
other modern improvements, will be
opened next year in London. Waterloo
House is to be the site of the new enter
prise, and already the deposit money for
securing the option of the lease from the
Crown has been secured, and many
powerful American and English capital
lists have promised their support to the
venture. The hotel is destined to
eventually pass into the hands of com
pany, but it will not be offered to the
public until the structure is complete
and all the other arrangements attended
to. The site is Crown land, and cannot
be purchased in fee simple; but the pro-
iectors have already been conditionally
promised an eighty years lease.

SECRETARY BLAINE's PROBLEM.
Philadelphia Wants Free Raw Ma
teriaIs and No Subsidies.

Secretary Blaine is getting some valuable
suggestions from the leading commercial
bodies of the country in response to his cir
cular request to them to transmit sugges-
tions for the Pan-AmeriCan congress. From
Philadelphia comes the following appeal for
free raw materials and against steamship
subsidies;
Resolved that the Commercial Exchange
of Philadelphia respectfully offers the fol-
lowing suggestions: The establishment of
direct telegraphic communication with all
the export centres of South America; the
establishment of banks of commerce in all
the American countries, with the assistance
of their respective governments, that direct
means of exchange may be secured; the ad-
mission into this country of all raw or I'M
manufactured materials absolutely free
of duty from said countries,
no matter whether such material be intend
ed for direct consumption for food or for
use in the arts and sciences or for subsequent
manufacture, provided reciprocal action is
taken by said governments touching our
goods imported into their ports; the estab-
hshment and maintenance in all large ports
of free courts of admiralty, wherein the gem
eral maritime law of the world may be ad.
ministered without partiality; the establish
ment of uniform port charges, classification
and valuations of merchandise, and, as far
rs practicable, of commercial reCiproci-
ty; the universal establishment by
the South American countries of our
system of weights and measures, if any
change at all is made in present systematic
exchange, however, is of the opinion that,
were trade once firmly established, inmate
rial measures ofthis kind would easily ad-
just themselves; the establishment in its en-
tirety of our system of patent law; the crea-
ton of some method of arbitratlng, without
European interference, of any difficulties or
differences that might arise, and the extra.
dition of criminals for other than political
offences, are all subjects for consideration;
the completion of tne Nicaragua canal
and the guarantee of its control, free
from European interference, would lie of
invaluable benefit. We unhesitatingly con-
denim the payment of bounties or subsidies
to either steamship or sailing lines, other
than the proper and generous compensation
for carrying the mail, but recommend the
relief of vessels engaged in the trade from
all charges, as far as practicable, and the
allowance of Americans to buy foreign bot
toms and sail them in foreign trade only,
under the American flag; and the establish
ment direct rapid communication between
the several interested countries for the
conveyance of mails, passengers and goods.

The idea of the Eiffel Tower, accord
ing the Eagjnee1ing and Building Record,
is acknowledged by M. Eiffel to have
originated in this country at the time OF
the Philadelphia Centennial, in 1876.
The circular tower then proposed was to
have been 1000 feet high, $50 feet in di,
ameter at the base, and thirty feet at the
top. 1t was designed by Clark, Reeves
& Co., of Phoenixville, Penn, and was
expected to cost 81 100000. .

There are between five hundred and

are there chiefly to learn to talk English,
for there are only fifty three of the num-

is, members of the churches. A religious
worker among the Mongolians says the
church people have got to realize that the
Chinaman is pretty hard subject to

They cost S95, 900 apiece, exclusive of
$3.50, 900 for carriages, mountings and
machinery necessary to work them, and
threw projectile weighing 1900 pounds.
The result has somewhat dampened the
ardor of the advocates of big guns.

EVERYTHING PEACEFUL.
Salisbury Says Irish Troubles VIII
Soon BE Settled

says
Soon BE Settled
At a meeting in London Lord Salisbury
delivered an address, in which he congratu-
lated the country upon the splendid eXpan
sion of its trade The disputes between
labor and capital he said, were regretful,
and he warned the labor agitators that they
undertook n grave responsibility. He was
glad to be able to affirm that Ireland was
pr crossing. Prosperity was increasing in
that country disorder was vanishing, and
there was every prospect of permanent
settlement Of the burning questions between
the two countries. No members Of the gov
ernment INDUCED in wild theories of home
rule, but were ready with practical poll
Icy which would satisfy the country.
The difficulties in Europe he declared, ap-
peared to be tending toward peaceful solu-
tion. All the great powers are desirous of
avoiding conflict. Lord Salisbury declared
it was the widest legend that the govern
ment had the faintest intention to alter the
Irish policy. England was not behind other
nations in their generous rivalry to promote
the civilizations of Africa, The anti-s'ayery
congress at Brussels would form am epoch
marking the great progress of European
opinion on that subject. He expressed obli-
cations to the Sultan of Zanzibar for the
latter's decree relating to the freedom OF his
subjects.

Utilization OF the Water Power of the
Kakabllil1a Falls.
A business transaction has just been con-

cate the property known as Kakabkika
falls containing 480 acres and the water
rights to the Kaministiquia river at that
point. The river there is 800
fall Of 100 feet, and can be developed to fur
nish 200, 900 horse power The new propri-
etors propose to build up at that point q
Canadian Minneapolis. A large amount of
capital is behind the scheme, and 1t Is pro-
posed to build there Touring mills equal to
those of Minneapolis for grinding Manitoba
wheat pulp and paper mills for utilizing the
poplar forest adjoining, reduction works for
turning the silver ores of the neighboring
mines into bullion, blast furnaces, saw mills
and factories of all descriptions, for which n
market can be found for their output.
Eventually it is intended to use a port on of
the power for generating electricity, to be
used not only for local purposes, but also to
operate the silver mines. The Port Arthur,
Duluth q Western railway is extending its
line two miles to the falls. A branch of
three miles will connect the Canadian Pacific
with the new city. Engineers are now on
the ground to make a complete Topographic
cal survey, in order that the plans may be
made as complete as possible.
