The Uncertainty of Appointments,

There is nothing so uncertain as an appoint

other time, excepting, perhaps when congress
Is IN session. The applicants have nothing
special to DO and they haunt the corridors of
the department from O'Clock in the nornin1
until O'Clock in the aft rnoon. They congrs,

papers That certain man had been appointed
TO certain office. The pap rs were ain

William ]. Hilton, miserly old mer-
chant of Franklin, KY, has created a
sensation in that town by deliberately
burning $4,000 in greenbacks and govern
ment bonds belonging to him. He is very
feeble, and is not expected to live MANY
days more. Some years ago he was sepa-
rated from his wife, and his only child is a
son, whose prohigate habits have caused
him great deal of trouble. He was
violently opposed to allowing his property
to fall into their hands. Ole day last week
he managed to walk from the rear of his
store, where his bed is, to the front.
He told negro man to take certain key
to his apartment and burn it, The negro
did so, and shortly afterward it was dis
covered that the keg contained money.
the old man gleefully confessing that such
was the case. His relatives are trying to
prove that he should be sent to an ASYLUM
for the insane, as they are afraid he will
set fire to his store, but thus far they have

You're sure to be caught, you're sure to be

Let Us Build Factories

There is room for factories in the south.
Indeed, there are several kinds Of factories
which could be operated in the south with
great profit. There are none of the kinds
referred to in any Of the southern states.
For instance, there is not a sewing ma
chine factory south of Cincinnati Why is
thisf Such factory would pay hand
somely. Why should the south depend en-
tirely upon the north for sewing machines?
A gentleman of Cleveland, o., in a letter
to the MORNING NEWS says: ''The south
wants sewing machine factory somewhere
within its borders. With its wealth Of
woods, iron and coal, side by side, machines
could be manufactured SO cheaply that they
could be sold for less than any sewing ma
chine now in the market. There is a sew
lug machine manufactured in this city
which sells for IS. am sure that it could
be manufactured in the south so as to be
sold for Sc 1t is in every respect as good
as any sewing machine now in use. There
are great possibilities in the sewing ma
chine. The demand for it is beyond the
supply, and will continue to be for years. y
The northern people are quick to take
advantage of the opportunities presented
for increasing their manufacturing in.
dustries. Every northern town is full OF
such industries. Why should not the south
ern people establish such industries aad
reap the benefits to be derived from themi
There are, doubtless, dozens of industries
that could be established in this city with
profit. All that is required Is a little capital
and that is here. Thousands of dollars Of
our citizens are locked up in securities
which pay only small rate of interest
| Why not invest some OF it in factories, fol-
instance sewing machine factory? II
would yield twice as much as it is yielding
now. The southern people are not quick
enough to grasp the money-making oppor
| tunities which present themselves.

was struck with desire some time ago to
make money as dime museum attraction.
but she has now become stage struck, and it

pear in well-known play next season.
This young woman has waited SO long before
attempting to reap any benefit from her
notoriety that she won't create much Of a
sensation on the stage, or anywhere else.
