WHAT EDENTON NEEDS
A NUMBER OF INDUSTRIES THAT MIGHT
BE MADE PROFITABLE,

many different kinds as grow in any
section, it does seem to as taat many
nds of workshops and factories
could be started that would pay
those who would make the invetment.
A sash. blind and door factory is
need ed here, and the home demand
would pay the proprietor of such
business, FOR everyt hing of that kind
needed for house building must now
be ordered from abroad, and in a
good many cases it is manufactured
out Of the very lumber that is ship
ped from here.
There is any amount Of gum tim
Der. Now why should it not be
a profitable business here as we'll as
it is in some other parts Of the coun
try, to turn this timber into wooden
plates and dishes? Certainly if it
will pay at one place it will pay
where the raw material grows. This
same timber could also be used tor
a good many other purposes There
is also in this section a plenty OF
oak. hickory, cypress, and other
woods, which grow in these sand
loan and river bottom lands, as we'll
as other tim bers, that could be work.
ed up on the spot into the many
hundred useful and necessary arti-
Giles and implements that are used on
farm and in work shops. All that
is needed is capital.
We want manufactures tor all
kinds af wooden ware, such as buck
cts, tubs, bread bowls. rolling pins,
wash boards, and a thousand other
household articles made of wood.
All Of these articles are needed with
in the borders OF our State and we
do not understand why it is that
men with money, looking for a loca-
ton to invest. cannot or will not see
at a glance, the Inducements offered
them in this section.
The establishment Of Darrell fac
tory would pay at the very start. The
demand for fish barrels alone would
make it most profitable enterprise,
and if some one would put up a fac
tory of this kind, we venture to say
that it would be marvellous to see, in
a short time, the number of other
barrels and casks Of all sizes that
would be shipped from it.
We need extensive wagon facto
ries, capable of turning out cheaply
and more expeditiously all manner
of carriages, buggies. phaetons, etc.
An ice factory is one of the needs
of Edenton, and, considering the
quantity of the cooling commodity
sold here, it is strange this enter
pri Sc has been neglected so long.
Besides supplying the home demand
good market is open in the eigh-
boring towns. 1t would take sew
eral thousand tons during the season
for shipping fish. The Fishermen
will all patronize it. Now, who will
be the first enterprising man to go
into this business.
We need mills for the manufacture
of grain bags and sacks. This would
prove to be another handsomely pay
ing investment.
We need oil mills. There's no
better place at which to establish
mills Of this kind.
We want livery and exchange sta
bles on big scale. They would pay
we'll.
One good ship yard would pay in
Edenton.
In short, there is ample room and
great demand for extensive man
ufactoreis OF all kinds.
Frequently accidents occur in the
household which cause burns. cuts

THE sHUT-IN SOCIETY.
An Organization of Invalids Whs

An Organization of Invalids Who
Seek to Comfort Each Other.
San Francisco Call.
"The Shut-In-Society-w is that?"
asked representative of the Call when
visiting a chronic invalid in this city
who had lain upon her back nearly six
years.
1T u.s." replied the invalid, "a society
of invalids organized for the benefit,
through correspondence, of those shut
in from intercourse with the outer
world"
Impressed sufficiently with the nov
tuition to make further inquiry, it was
found to have headquarters in New
York, and, though only in the seventh
year of its existence. already numbers
something like 1000 members, men,
women and children, scattered over
every state and territory in the Union
and in Canada. Australia, nearly every
quarter of Europe, Syria, India, China,
japan and the Sandwich Islands. 1t is
not the object of the society to minister
to creature comforts or dispense
money among the members, as that
is not considered advisable when
the circumstances can not be fully
known. The members are of two classes
-lnvalids and associates. The former
may be described as the recipients of
the benefits, the latter the active work
ers, though as the principal method of
work is private correspondence in which
these poor shut-inS enjoy an interchange
of words of home andsympathy, and
while personally unknown become we'll

abled to help and cheer each'Other and
many sufferers, through the mental in

lonely find the one sunshine of their
saddened lives in the rays of comfort

how they lived without its blessed min

Besides containing short contributions
of interest to the suffering band, any OF

and others solicit orders for such
small work as they can ac-

the society is the receiving OF wheel
chairs, which are loaned out to members
who are in need and worthy. A report
shows that several of these have been
donated by friends in Pasadena, CAL,

VERY LIKE A CYCLONE.
Disastrous Effects of an Electrical
Storm at Dubuque.

Storm at Dubuque.
DUBUQUE. TO-, June 25.-An cleo
trical storm struck Dubuque this
morning at 1 o'clock. Two inches of
rain fell in two hours, and the wind
blew forty miles an hour down town.
On the hills the velocity was much
greater. The lightning and thunder
were terrible and incessant. Many
families sought refuge in cellars. fear
ing cyclone. In Rockdale valley,
south of the city, the food carried away
bridges and drove people to the hills for
SAFETY. At ThompsOn'S mill drowned
horses and cattle were swept through
the first story windows of Mr.. TitZcsg'S
residence and the family sought refuge
in the hills. The supervisors have re-
ceived notice that twenty-five or thirty
wagon bridges throughout the country
are undermined and washed away. The
railroads centering here all suffered Sc
verely. The bridge at Washington
mills, on the Chicago, Milwaukee d
st. Paul road, went down with crash.
On the Illinois Central two bridges
were washed away between Dubuque
and Julien, and 700 feet of track was
washed out near Farley. The Chicago,
st. Paul Il Kansas City was washed out
for thirty miles west and north OF Du-
buque and the road has not been in
operation except east of Dubuque. In
the city the damage done was great.
Many houses in the upper part OF the
city are flooded with water. The dam
age done in this county is estimated at
over 500. 600.

Suicides in Japan.

Public Opinion.
According to recent Japanese re-
turn it appears that the great majority
of persons committing suicide in Japan
are over fifty years of age. Next on the
list in respect of numbers come the sui
eide of persons living between twenty
and thirty years of age. Of these the
greater part turn their backs on the
world in consequence of disappointed
love. For suicides of all ages July is
the favorite month. During the period
of six years, from 1883 to 1888, inclu-
sive. the number of suicides in the
month of July ranged from 500 TO 800,
while the number during the remainder
of the year averaged from 200
to 800 only. A characteristic
Japanese suicide occurred last year at
the famous shrines at Nikko. An old
lady of sixty went there in August.
Her circumstances were good; she had
two sons in official positions, and her
home in Toxic was comfortable and
happy. She spent two days at Nikko.
visiting the various temples and places
of note, and seemed bright and con-
tented. But at daylight on the third
morning she.was found with her throat
cut before little shrine at the back Of
the temple of 1yemitsu. From her
satchel the police took paper, wherein
was set forth, briefly but plainly, the
motive of her suicide. 1t was very
simple: she had loved NikkO, and
wished to die among its sacred groves.
At her age the probability of being able
to return there appeared remote. There
fore she availed herself Of the present
opportunity, and with kind farewellS to
those left behind made her exit.

ADMISSION OF WYOMING.
Senators Discuss the Bill Without
Taking Action.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The senate
to-day amended and passed the house
joint resolution authorizing the use OF a
government pier in Chicago. The fol-
lowing bills were taken from the calen-
dar and passed: House bill increasing
by $4,000 the limit of cost of public
building at Springfield, Mo; house bill
authorizing the erection of hotel for
colored people upon the government
reservation at Fortress Monroe. An
executive session was then held, and at
1:3O p. m. the doors we're reopened and
the senate took up the house bill for the
admission of Wyoming into the Union
as state. Mr.. Plat, in charge of the
bill, submitted the committees report
as an argument in favor of its passage.
Mr.. Vest opposed the bill Oh the ground
that the population of the territory did
not warrant its admission and because
the constitution gave aliens the right to
hold land and contained woman's
suffrage clause. M. Platt replied to
Mr.. Vest, and then, at $3.50 p. NJ. the
senate adjourned,

TEXT OF THE TARIFF BILL.

selves on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The text of
the tariff bill, together with the changes
recommended by the senate finance
committee, the tables showing the du-
ties collected under the existing tariff,
and estimates Of the probable effect
upon the revenue, and the explanation
of the changes, furnished by the COM
mtttee in obedience to MI. Plumb's res
olutiOn of instruction, was furnished
to-day to the senate. Changes made
from specific to adj valOrem rates and
vice versa, which are numerous, the
committee states, were for the
purpose of simplifying and expe-
diting the collection of duties.
the two rates being generally equlva-
lent to each other. Increases were made
because they were believed to be no
more than is necessary to protect 10
mestic industry. Where reductions
were recommended the reason given in
many cases was that the new rate is be-
lieved to afford sufficient protection to
American manufacturers. Other
changes were said to be for the purpose
of equalizing the duties on articles OF
the same class. The committee believes
not be admitted for less than lead in
any other form, hence the duty OF
~ cents per pound. No explanation
is made of the reduction of 81 per
1000 feet on white pine and sawed
lumber. AS to sugar, the committee
says: "Sugar up to No. Is, Dutch
standard, is placed upon the free list as
matter of wise public policy. and a
bounty is provided in order to encour-
age domestic production" The com,
mittee says as to wool: The demand
from the representative wool growers
of the country that the rates upon WOOL
should be largely increased has led the
committee to recommend the adoption
of new classification herein suggested,
which, it is hoped, will result in a uni
form and-honest classification OF wool.
The increase of rates for the manu-
features of wool have been made nee
essary by this increase in the wool
rates."

The Abbe's Strong Wine.

COurt journal.
An amusing story comes to hand from
village not far from the town of
Beaune, in the sunny province of Bur-
gundy. The favorite pastor of the par
lsh was round, jovial-faced little able.
who enjoyed good glass of wine, and
so, as surprise, the villagers, who
were mostly small vintage owners,
agreed to give him pleasant surprise
by filling wine tun that was lying
empty in his back yard, and presenting
it to him Oh his birthday. Each man
was to bring his share Of wine and
pour it into the caSk quietly at
night. The next morning the cask
was decorated with wreaths and flowers.
All the friends assembled, and the
leaders presented the full decorated cask
of red wine, good, sound Burgundy,
though of no special, brand, TO the de-
lighted able. Glasses were brought, and
with cries of "Vive M'sieu pAbbe!" all
stood round to drink his health: the old
housekeeper turned the tap and drew
out the first glass, but. miracle of
miracles, the wine had become pure
white water. Each cunning peasant
had thought his share of water would
not be noticed among the other wine,
but their unanimity had worked a
miracle by no means acceptable to
"M'sieu rAbbe."

RECOUNTING A DISTRICT.
Davenport's Men Said to Have
Lost Some Papers.

A recount of one of the enumerator's
districts at Minneapolis is now being
made. Supervisor Davenport said
yesterday that the recount was neces-
sary because the original papers had
been lost. Some of the papers belong
ing to three other districts were in
the hands of the enumerators when
they were arrested. and as they were
seized by the United States marshal
they cannot be sent to Washington, and
it is very probable that recount will be
ordered in those districts also. The
work of getting the returns in shape
and shipping them to Washington is
still going on, and it is expected that all
the work will be finished by Saturday
night.

Democratic Objections to the Fed

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 94.-The

eral election bill denounces federal in.
reference in state elections, and says
that one election under the provisions
of the bill will, if fully applied, cost the
taxpayers of the country S10,000,000.
The report makes particular objection
to the change made by the bill in
the number of precinct supervis-
ors. The report also makes a
strong objection to the provi-
sion of the bill constituting the final re-
turns of elections, made by the district
board of commissioners to the clerk
of the house, prima facie eyi-
dence of election results. 1t says: I'VE
are prepared to say that this bill is
plainly unconstitutional, because the
States have not failed to pass laws for
the representation of their people in
congress, nor made laws hostile to such
representation aud to the government
of the United States in connection
Herewith. On the contrary, the legis-
lation upon this subject by the states
