tended to be democrat would dare to stand up in the senate and record him. self in its favor.
 In view of the expectations of the re- publicans, however, and to show the kind of democrats that voted with them even on amendments, it is interesting to see who they were. Were they men who are in sympathy with labor or who might be expected to feel the pulse of the com mon people? Well, hardly. Two of them are the richest democrats in the senate-Senator Payne and Senator Brown. The former is leading bene- ficiary of the Standard Oil monopoly while the latter is said to have made his money chiefly in connection with the prison chain gang system that has such cruel record in Georgia. These are the kind of democrats who were in harmony with republican tariff ideas and whom the republican senators looked to for help to carry their bill. But it is inter esting to note that even these men did not dare, when the final test came, tC utterly desert their principles and vote for bill that reduces the surplus by putting up the taxes on the people.
 High tariff democrats may not be al like Senators Payne and Brown, but 1t is safe to say that there is an Ethiopian 1T the woodpile of every man who would vote for such vicious tariff bill as that which passed the republican senate last week

BOYCOTTING has not found favor with courts wherever it has been subject of contention, and in New Iolk state especially workingmen who have re- sorted to it to enforce their demands have been made to feel that the con spiracy laws could lelch them, however futile they might be in their effect on combinations of capital, Now, however, the organized workingmen of New York have found a friend in As semblyman Graham, who has intro duced in the legislature a bill ito amend the penal code so that combinations of workingmen for legitimate purposes cannot be punished under the conspir acy clauses. The bill provides that nc act shall be deemed unlawful because done or agreed to be done by a number of persons which would not have been unlawful if done or agreed to be done by a single person." The course of NIr Graham's bill will be watched with interest, though it is very unlikely that Capitalists will permit of its passage.

HIGH TARIFF DEMOCRA ATS.

The republican senators looked with considerable hope for help from several high tariff democrats to secure the pas sage of their tariff bill but these did not materialize on the final vote though they did vote with them on several amend ments that were regarded as crucial tests. The republican bill was finally made so utterly vicious that no man who pre-

Barrels Made Of Cotton.

ATLANTA, Ga, October A wonder
full revolution in flour barrel making is
promised by patent which has been
granted for the making of barrels out
of cotton duck instead of wood. The
new material is impervious TO water
and resists. fire for long time. 1t
weighs to the barrel about fifteen pounds
less than the wood, and can be manu-
factured ten per cent. cheaper. The
cotton duck barrels can be rolled up
into small space and returned to the
mills for frequent use. The barrels can
thus be returned as solid goods and thus
save space. The flour merchants of
this city have given it fair trial and
pronounce it a success.

A Lie Full lyExposed at Last.

The malicious story that has 50 long
been kept in circulation at the North
about Jefferson Davis being dressed in
woman's apparel when he was captured
by the Federal forces is at last set to
rest by the statement of Mr. T. H. Pea
body, one of his captors. Mr. Peabody
is a lawyer of st. Louis, and it is said
was the first man to address Mr.. Davis
in making the arrest. at the regular
meeting of Ransom Post G. A K in St.
Louis, on Tuesday night, Mr. Peabody
made a speech, in which, after relating
other interesting incidents of the war,
he said:
Jefferson Davis was captured by the
Fourth Michigan cavalry, in the early
morning of May 10, 1865, at Irwinsville,
in Southern Georgia. With him were
Mr.. Reagan of Texas, his postmaster
general; Captain Moody of Mississippi,
an old neighbor of the Davis family;
Governor Lubbock Of Texas; Colonels
Harrison and Johnson of his staff; Mrs.
Davis and her four children-Maggie,
some ten years old, JEFF, about eight,
Willie, about five, aud a girl baby-a
brother and sister of Mrs. Davis, a
white and one colored servant woman. a
small force of cavalry, few others and
small train of horses, mules, wagons
and ambulances. Among the horses
were span of carriage horses presented
to Mrs. Davis by the citizens of Rich
mond during the heyday of the Confed
eracy; also splendid saddle horse, the
pride of the ex-President himself. On the
11th of May, The day after the capture,
and while on our way back to Macon, as
officer Of the guard over the distin-
guished prisoner, l rode by the side Of
Mr.. Reagan, now Senator fro1n Texas. l
found him very fine gentleman. During
that days march a courier from Macon
notified US in printed slips of the 100000
reward offered for Mr. Davis's capture,
which notice connected Davis with the
assassination of President Lincoln.
When Mr.. Reagan read the notice he
earnestly protested that Mr.. Davis had
no connection whatever with the sor.
rowful affair. History has shown he
had none.
Besides the suit of mems clothing
worn by Mr.. Davis, he had on, when
captured, Mrs. Davis's large waterproof
dress or robe, thrown on over his own
fine gray suit, and a blanket shawl
thrown on over his head and shoulders
This shawl and robe were finally de-
posted in the archives of the War De-
partment at Washington by order of
Secretary Stanton. The story of the
"hoop skirt, sun bonnet and calico
wrapper had no real existence, and
was started in the fertile brain of the
reporters and i'll the Illustrated papers
of that day.

ACQUISITION FOR THE COUNCIL.
Two CONGREGATIONAL Bodies Of Georgis
VIII Ask for RECOGNITION.

Boston, October 6.-The National
Council of the Congregational Church
of the country will begin its trieanial
session in Worcester on Wednesday next.
One of the most important questions
which will come before it is the race
issue, which will be presented from
Georgia. The Georgia Congregational
Association has been recognized as the
Congregational body of the State.
This association is composed of fifteen
small churches of colored people, which
are under the care of the American
Missionary Association. The Congre-
gational Methodist Conference, an older
body than the Georgia Congregational
Association, is desirous of recognized
relations with the Congregational
churches of the country, and has elected
delegates who will come to Worcester
and apply for admission 70 the Ma
tional Council. The churches of the
Conference are white. The question of
the council to settle is whether it shall
recognize two distinct bodies of Congre-
gational churches within the limits of
one State when the only reason for the
existence of two bodies is the fact that
they are composed of people of differ
ent races.

a TWO-SIDED LIFE.
Begging by Day and Enjoying Social
Pleasures at Night.

New YORK, October "a young man
who has been leading remarkable
double life in this city for several years
was sent by Police Justice Ford on Tues
day last to spend six months of unin-
teresting single life in the City Prison
on the recommendation of Special Officer
Hebberd of the Charity Organization
Society. The fellow has, according to
Mr.. Hebberd, made from s. to SO a day
during the last six years by begging,
and has lived like a lord during the
evenings on the money. During all that
time he lived in good style and entirely
free of expense with well-to-do Jewish
family iu Harlem, and went about with
them in high society circles.
He dressed we'll and was an inveterate
theatre and ball goer, and the people
with whom he lived and all his acqualnt-
ances thought he held good position
as messenger in the Stock Exchange.
They knew him as Max Seligman, and
he had his name in the City Directory
with that occupation tackled to it, but
his real occupation was visiting wealthy
families with cleverly written begging
letters signed by his father" Henry
Solomon. He is a bright, good looking
young man and a glib talker, and he
rarely failed to get the asked-for help.
He always gave his address as 430 East
Seventy-frst street, but those who went
there to offer him and. his starving
brothers and sisters" further aid were
Indignantly shooed off the premises by
the respectable people living there, Let
ters began to come to the Charity Organi-
zation Society in March, 1884, telling of
the fellows swindles, but nothing could
be learned Of him until last Monday,
when Mr. William Oppenheim of 10
East Sixty-seventh street sent word that
Solomon had called at his house for
money and had been promised some if
he would call on the following morning.
Officer Hebberd was on hand when Solo
mon appeared, and promptly took him
down to Justice Ford, who gave him
his desserts. 1t was a long time before
Solomon's friends became convinced of
his guilt, and they were utterly as
founded at his duplicity. The young
man spent some of his spare time DAD
bing in politics in the Eighth District,
and had recently been appointed an in-
spector of election there through the in
fuencc of County Clerk Reilly.

The Aluminium Works.

a party of Northern capitalists in
terested in the establishment of a plant
for the manufacture of aluminium from
clay, will visit Columbia. S. c., this
week or next with a view to examining
the advantages offered for this industry
by that city. The Chamber of Industry
of Wilmington was in correspondence
with these parties, but they required
water power that our city could not fur
niSh. They were, therefore, referred to
Fayetteville, which city possesses pecu
liar advantages for such an industry.
1t is probable that either Columbia or
Fayetteville will be chosen as the place,
as they are both eligible in every point
of view. Wilmington Messenger.

Cure for Snake Bite.

On last Thursday afternoon Mary
Emily, the 14.year-old daughter of Mr..
James A. Hogue, who lives near Carp,
in this County, wa, IN the fcida picking
cotton, when she was bitten on toe by
a pilot snake. She Immediately went to
the house and became very sick. 4
messenger was dispatched for Dr.. S. \.
Smith of Clover, and in the meantime
remedies were administered by the
child's parents, but without affording
relief. 1t was several hours before the
physician arrived, but when he came he
administered so simple remedy, which
was SO efhcacious withal, that we print
it as a matter of useful information.
He simply had the child to drink solu-
tion of two teaspoonfuls of bi-carbonate
of soda in water, and bathed the wound
with the same solution. Within fifteen
minutes after the treatment the patient
was relieved Of all pain and is dong

PAN-AMERIcAN NExcURsIoNIsTS
Take in Sights Worth Seeing at Spring
field, Massachusetts,.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October 1.-THE
delegates to the International Congress
went to sleep last night in New Haven,
Conn, and opened their eyes this morn
ing in Springfield, Mass, having slipped
from one State to another without
being aware of the fact that the
cars had moved during the
night. Before they had eaten their
breakfast Alderman Murphy and
Captain Blount, who is attached to the
Springfield Armory, boarded the train
and acquainted the excursioniSts with
the programme for the day. At the sta
tion the party was joined by Colonel
Burlington, commanding at the Arsenal,
members of the municipal government
and a number of prominent citizens of
the place After formal introductlons
had been made, the visitors were placed
in carriages and driven to the Armory;
the Morgan Envelope Works, where all
the stamped envelopes used by the GOV
ernment are made; the Smith & Wesson
arms works, and other places of interest.
They Will Surely Visit the South.
BALTIMORE, October 1.-THE omis-
sion of the South in the present tour of
the delegates to the Pan-American Con-
gress has been so generally misunder-
stood, that Walker Blaine of the De-
partment of State writes R. II. Ed
monds, editor of the Manufacturers
Record, to the effect that in the original
planning of the programme of the con-
vention it was intended to give the del
egates an excursion to the South, and IN
his letter says: "It is proposed to visit
the Southern States later in the season,
when the weather will be more favorable
and the various and peculiar industries
Of those States can be seen to better ad-
vantage. As this nation covers an i'm
mense eXpanse of territory, and as 1t IS
. the desire that the distinguished visitors
shall be given an opportunity to see ii
all, it was necessary to divide the tours
and each section be visited when its pc
culiar industries could be seen to the
best advantage"
The South Will Not Be Sighted.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Secre-
tary of State receives many invitations
for the international American Confer
ence to visit certain sections of the South.
1t should be generally and widely known
that the present arrangement is that
early in January an itinerary will be
arranged for the South relatively more
extensive than that which is now in
progress in the North. To have taken
in both sections on one itinerary would
have been fatigping and exhausting;
and, besides, the month of October is
not regarded as the most favorable sea-
son for visiting the South. The princi-
pal cities of the South may be assured
of visit from all the delegates iu the
proper season. This announcement is
made on the authority Of Secretary
Blaine.
