Cost. Of Champagne Corks.

"Do you know" said broker who had
made o profitable turn in gas stock, to a
Cincinnati Commercial man, as he ordered
''another small bottle" s'that these cham
pagne corks cost q great deal Of money.
Take this cork, for instance" picking it up
and showing its quality to his listeners,
'.every one Of these corks for pint bottles
cost just four cents each. That's what they
cost in France, and the champagne houses
buy them by the ton. ALI sorts of devices
have been used to do away with the heavy
expense Of valuable corks, but none Of them
have been practical, and a return to cork
was necessary. A good cork is great
factor in the champagne industry. Three
years ago one Of the biggest champagne
houses III France lost nearly seventy-five
per cent. Of its expectation to America that
year because the corks used were Of poor
quality. Since then they have purchased
none but the best Of corks. The quality Of
q cork is told by its close grain and its mar
velous expansion after 1t is withdrawn from
the bottle. A good champagne cork il the
pride Of all the wine agents.n

SURGEON GENERAL BAXTER.
"As Sick as a Man Can BE and Live" Says
One of the Physicians.

"As Sick as a Man Can BE and Live" Says
One of the Physicians.
The condition of Surgeon General Baxter re-
mains practically unchanged, although at IL
o'clock this morning word came out of the
sick room that the symptoms appeared to be
slightly more favorable.
Still, giving all possible weight to every hope,
it is not believed by those around the patient
that his chances to recover are very good.
One of the attending physicians has re-
marked that DR.. Baxter is about as sick as a
man can be and still live. His consciousness
has returned only for few moments, and then
but partially. Last night he seemed
to recognize some of those around
his bedside. His friends, who
have been calling at the house in an almost un-
ceasing stream ever since the stroke occurred.
are confident that the case is in the best possi-
BILE hands. DIR. Ainsworth is generally re-
garded as one of the best surgeons in the
army. and all interested in the condition of the
surgeon general feel that he could have no bet
ter care. The President sent his condolences
to the house last evening.
Lattr.-At 1870 this afternoon the condition
of Surgeon General Baxter was said 10 be
slightly improved as compared with this time
yesterday and his physicians are somewhat
more hopeful, although there has been no de-
cided change.

AIRY Work and That of Philadelphia.


AIRY Work and That of Philadelphia.
CHICAGO. Dec. 3.-Gen. Goshorn. who was di-
rector general of the centennial exposition, is
in the city and will confer with Director Gem
eral Davis. In an interview Gen. Goshorn
said:
Il am glad TO sec that they have got execu-
tive management dawn to the right basis. They
could not have carried on the fair with so large
a body as was at first proposed. We had this
to learn and IL took long time To learn it,"
Gen. Goshorn thought work on the Chicago
fair was not as far along relatively as il was at
this time at the centennial. I've had out plans
all ready in 1873. three years before the ex-
position opened" said he. january I,
1876, we had all our buildings ready, swept out
and decorated. We were favored by a mild
winter and the work not stopped during
the usual cold season. That is something that
has got 10 be considered here. II the winters
are severe work cannot go on"
The general expressed his confidence in the
success of the Chicago exposition. He antici-
pated no trouble now that the executive man
agement had been perfected.
Money is easy at and per cent. In the
stock market after ii o'clock the sugar refiner-
les were the principal feature, and after .
further advance to 60 the certificates fell awav
to 57sI and the general list sympathized
in the decline. Northern Pacific preferred lost
per cent to SO, st. Paul "a to 5lSs and Rock
Island to 7l5<. The rest of the list were again
brought below the level of the opening prices,
but at the decline the market became very dull
and stagnant The late dealings, however were
eniivened by sharp upward spurt in Lacka-
wanna, from l3O TO 132, and a better tone
marked the dealings in the rest of the list.
Market Is now quiet but firm. generally st
something under first figures.
