CLURRED.

People in this country had come to look on the Golden club as sure thing. It has so long and so zealously worked for the establishment of free trade in this country that its performances have been expected. A presidential campaign with out the Golden club would be curiosity, but we may have one, for its funds are so low that it has been compelled to give up its annual fish dinner at Greenwich, and Harold Frederic, the well known London correspondent, thinks it not unlikely that it will expire soon. The truth is, he says, that the clubs mission seems to have end ed. It was founded in the first flush of the triumph of political economy over stupid ity and ignorance in England by men who fondly believed that the rest of the world was open to conviction by argu- ment, as the English had shown them selves to be. They were going so to spread the light that soon all mankind would abandon those twin relics of medieval barbarism, tariff and wars. The dream was lofty, but it cruelty failed of realiza- tion. Four great wars have convulsed Europe since the formation of the clut and tariff walls are being reared higher than ever, and standing armies are ir preparation for still vaster conflicts. Tn, | old generation of Englishmen who found
 ed the club have mostly died off. Th' l new generation do not burn with sacred
 enthusiasm to proselytize the world.
 All of which is very sad. If this coun
 try could afford it she ought to do some

ON THE RIGHT TRACK,

A charter has been asked in Tennessee for a negro trade school association at Memphis, the object of which is to train colored people in mechanic trades, domes- tic science and nursing. It is said that the southern people look upon the establish ment of such schools as offering 8 better solution of the race problem than mere in tellectual education. They complain that the schools and colleges now supported by northern benevolent enterprise fail of the best results because they raise their stu dents above manual labor and tend to a general desire among the colored people to seek employments and professions which are easy-going. They hold that the color ed people need first to be taught that suo- cess comes only with labor and that the great mass of them must engage in manual labor to sustain themselves. To elevate this labor and make it more skillful re- ouires social training which merely intel lectual instruction does not afford.
 This is sensible view to take of a very important matter. A good negro carpen- ter is better than poor negro preacher, and good negro machinist is better than poor negro teacher. Even the whites, who are supposed to be superior race, are finding out that there is such thing as having too many half-educated people around who cannot get fair living be- cause they do not know how to do useful and needed work. Soft hands and soft heads are altogether too common.

the naphtha fumes better, because they were easier to take. All that was necessa- " was to inhale them from the pipes and
 the work was done. Besides the latter
 cost nothing, which was an important item to girl on small wages
 As MT. Wycoff understood the girls de- scription, 8 1anguorous and pleasant sen-
 sation came over her, and when she would
 drop of to sleep very delightful visions
 was the result. She did not live far from
 the factory, and just before starting for
 home she would indulge freely in the
 naphtha fumes, and by the time the eff
 fects of the draught were coming on she
 would be in her room, and, throwing her
 self on the bed, would experience what
 ever pleasure there was in such & strange
 debauch. The sensation resulting from 6
 good pull at the pipes would last three
 quarters of an hour.
 In most cases the narcotic influence of
 the fumes would produce sleep which
 would cover half of this time, but al though there was not absolute sleep, the
 condition was closely bordering on slum-
 ber, and the effect was about the same. The same delightful visions were present and a delicious languor possessed the mind and body, which the deluded victim of
 this vice persisted in believing could not
 be otherwise than good thing for her Other glrls who indulged themselves m | this method of hitting the pipe" con- fessed to abouf the same experience, and l none of them would admit that they had
 at any time felt any i'll effects from it. From physician MT. Wycoff learned, what might be expected, thst naphtha fumes, when habitually inhaled, will pro- duce all the horrors of opium. The phy- sician had been called to attend R woman with an aggravated case of hysterical con- vulsions. He found her eyes wild and staring, her face and limbs swelled, and with high fever. She hsd been suffer ing with hysteria for some weeks before he was called to attend her. He found that she had been & victim of the nsptha habit and had indulged far beyond her strength to endure it. She was removed to hos pital, but in spite of all that could be done for her, her symptoms grew worse and finally developed into epilepsy in its worst form. She was still alive when Mir. Wy coff was in Paris, but there was but small hopes that she would ever get well Her brain was badly affected and she was little better than 8 mental and physical wreck, and resulting, as the physicians believed, from inhaling the fumes of naphtha-

Parfsian Girls Discover a New Agent
 of Semi-Intoxication.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.l
 Wilmot J. Wycoff, a chemist of Ores den, who has lately been with an oil man ufacturing firm at Baku, Russia, has rela- ted to me an interesting circumstance in connection with the queer uses to which the products of petroleum are put. Deci- dedly the oldest use to which he knows it to be put came under his observation in Paris last month. MT. Wycoff stopped there two weeks on his way to New York from Baku, and while there investigated rumor that the girls employed in factory were inhaling the fumes of naphtha, which they found to be a mild intOxicant | He satisfied himself that in one factory where naphtha was used largely it was by no means an uncommon practice
 l The naphtha is kept in reservoirs, and is drawn off through pipes as it is wanted | for use. By accident, perhaps, some of 1 the female operatives made the discovery | that the fumes from these reservoirs had & peculiar and pleasant effect upon them, and from this the initiated fell into the habit of going regularly to the valves and inhaling the fumes. 'I ventured upon the experiment myself" said MT. Wycoff, Fin order to help along my investigations, and 1 am quite sure that, if persisted in, it would have the strange effect ascribed to it. I hunted up one of the girls, who, I was told, would not hesitate to tell me all she knew about the alleged practice.
 She was not over eighteen, very bright and intelligent, and at one time had been a nurse iR a hospital. She had frequently witnessed the operation of etherizing . patient, and it is not unlikely that she made the discovery concerning the naph- tha fumes. and got the idea from ether or
 some such substance used in the sick
 room. She said the knowledge regarding the naphtha inebriation was not general among the girls in the factory, but proba
 ply dozen congenisl spirits knew of il and availed themselves of it quite regu larly. One or two young men whom sht knew in the factory were not above indul- ging in the mild drunkenness. For her
 self, she felt no i'll effects from the habit
 but she believed some of the more delicat, girls had. She did not think it would in jure her in any way, and had not though about quitting it. The foreman, sh, thought, did not know that the girls in dulged in the habit, or if he did, he hac
 made no attempt to stop it. The girl took the drsught on the sly, and usually
 just before going home, although two o fered, they would take what in Englisf would be described as a little nip"
 The French girl described to Mr. Wycof how the naphtha fumes affected her, anC the sensation seems to be something akiI . to hasheesh or opium. The girl said sh . had taken hasheesh few times, but hket

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Undoubtedly the United States can tak' the Itata, but why doesn't she!


 The presidential vote fend has begun early. A canvass of the Pennsylvania leg islature shows 116 of the 145 Republicans in favor of Blaine for presidential candi- date next year, and IS for Harrison, Quay having one vote. Of the 82 Democrats 55 are for Cleveland, IS for Pattison and five for Hill
 There are some strange accidents. While an Indianapolis citizen was riding on Q street car in that city the brake handle slipped from the drivers grasp and struck 8 pistol in the drivers breast pocket. A bullet from the weapon killed the passen- ger instantly. His wife has recovered $5,- 900 damages from the car company.
 The Massachusetts legislature has taken very proper course in compelling the en- dowment societies to reserve fund of eighty-fve per cent. of the assessments for the payment of disability and matured certificate claims. Some sufficient guaran- tee should be maintained against loss to the subscribers to associations of this kind.
 A certain little girl, who is just learning to read, takes great interest in the big let ters she sees in the newspapers. The other evening, after she had kept her mamma | busy reading the advertisements in the newspapers to her, she knelt down to say her prayers. sDear Lord," she lisped, "make me pure," then she hesitated and went on, with added fervor, moment later, "make me absolutely pure, like bsk. ing powder"
 The announcement of the pension com missioner is almost too good to be true He says that expenditures in his depart ment for the current fiscal year, instead ot exceeding the appropriation of some $15, GOO, 900, will probably fall s9, 900, ,OOO shor1 of that sum. This would be the first cast in the history of the country where pen sion costs were overestimated. As ovel $97, ,000, 900 has already been paid out or pension account for 10 months of the ifs cal year, according to the commissioner less than $2O, ,0O0, 900 more will be required for the remaining two months, instead O. over s30, ,000, ,000, as anticipated.
