Others make Il tea of it, Some eat it all the

country for its use in China is that in the north

cook their meats with charcoal. Small charcoal

The JeweIed Dog Collar.

FROM Ihe new 1OfK star.
Jeweled dog collars is the latest fad among
ultra-fashionable young women. l know an
uptown miss who has expended over 500 for
a collar for her "Gypsy." The collar is rich
and costly 1t is fully an inch wide and as
thick as the animals comfort will allow. The
entire surface, which is of silver and gold,
is richly engraved with court scene
from the reign of Charles IL. The en-
craving work is fine, and has added greatly to
the expense of the collar. On either edge of
the collar is line of tiny turquoses and other
Jewels set in silver. Thisis the handsomest and
most costly dog collar l have seen SO far, but
there are number of fashionable young ladies
who have spent good deal of their pin money
to lit out puggie with superb neckgear.

THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Bishop Hurst Coming to Washington to

Bishop Hurst Coming to Washington to
Work Heartily for Its Success.
BALTIMORE, Oct 25.-Sishop Hurst, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, thus speaks of the
national university to be erected in Wash
ington:
81 am delighted to find upon my return to the
United States that the public are taking such a
deep Interest in the success of the proposed
national university in Washington. The sug-
gestion has taking deep and lasting hold upon
the people generally. The bishops at their last
meeting in New York indorsed the idea of the
university, and commended the enterprise to
the support Of the whole Christian church of
the United States. The land, tract of ninety
acres in the northwest section of Washington,
which has been secured at a cost of 100000,
Will, 1t is expected, be paid for by the people of
Washington ut the rate of $50, 600 a year for
five years. One payment has already been made,
and $25, 900 more has been pledged. When paid
for the land will be presented to the trustees of
the university, after which appeals will be
made for buildings and endowments | regret
that long absence from this country has, for
the time being, prevented me from doing per-
sonal work in Washington, but now that have
returned l intend to devote myself heartily to
the advancement of the interests of the uni
Versty. A committee Of citizens representing
various denominations have united for the col
lection OF funds for the purchase of the site.
Just now do not know what progress they
have made, but have no doubt. from the high
character of the gentlemen composing the com
mittee, that they will be successful''

U. p. AND THE GRANGERs.
Unfavorable Reports Forced Stocks OF

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The stock market to-
day was continuation of the depression of the
past two days, but sugar reflneres took second
airy position in the market, although it still led
amount Of business done. The bear attack
to-day was directed principally against Union
Pacific, upon the strength of the late report of
disagreement of that road and the granger roads
with which it connects, and the pressure to sell
the stock was so heavy that its price was forced
OF to the lowest figure known for it in years
On the theory that any dissenson in the
west must result to damage to all the roads in
that section the granger stocks were sold with
great freedom, especially st. Paul, which was
second in the extent of the decline. The trad
ing especially in the latter portion of the last
hour, was enormous, but the covering of the
short contracts put out yesterday and today in
the leading stocks forced a material recovery
from the lowest prices, which were from / to Al
per cent. lower than last nights prices. The
bank statement was genuine surprise, in that
it showed small increase in the surplus re-
serve instead of the material loss expected, and
contributed not little to the final rally.

And now it appears that the wool men are not
at all satisfied with the wool and woollen sched-
ules of the MCKINLEY bill. The men who rep
resented those interests in Washington during
the pendency of the bill have made their report,
which is published in the quarterly bulletin of
the National Association of Wool Manufactur
ers. This report makes it clear that the manu-
facturers did not want the schedules that were
put into the bill at all, while the wool growers
only asked for a duty on wool and desired that
no increase should be made on woollen manu-
factdres. The effect of the law as passed, the
report says, will be to flood the market with
shoddy, which will he sold to the injury of the
trade in genuine woollen goods.
