THE MCKINLEY LAW AND THE LINEN TRADE.
London, Aug. 26.-The leading manufacturers and
exporters in the American trade at Dundee are divided
I'm opinion on the effect Of the Mckinley law in the

goods. The jute trade has been but little affected.
The abolition Of the duty jutc. it is held should

The court and the public generally are
regarding Princess Margaret of Prussia,
who accompanies her imperial mother to
England, with good deal Of curiosity,
It is limited somewhat openly that one
object of the Empress Fredericks visit
here is to do her best to arrange mar
rage for Albert Victor. Duke OF Clar-
ence, and her daughter, his first cousin,
despite the fact that the Prince Of Wales
eldest son is undoubtedly in love with
his second cousin, Princess May of Teck,
and has apparently his fathers permits
sion to continue so.
However, the queen cannot get over
the fact that Princess May is the daugh-
ter of that Mary of Cambridge of whom
she was so jealous in the days when the
late Prince Albert first came ACQUIRING;
and 80, as young Albert Victor has no
spirit of his own, Ii Is not unlikely that
the announcement Of his engagement
with the Princess Margaret will come to
us before the empress has concluded her
visit here. Margaret of Prussia seems
to be delightful and highly educated
young woman, but there Is no doubt
that she has will of her own, like her
imperial mother and royal grandmother.
1t is equally certain that Albert Victor
is about as sickly and effeminate speci-
men of young man as could be found,
even among heirs to thrones. So If
Margaret becomes queen Of England we
win still remain under petticoat govern
ment. --London Cor. Chicago News.

Arrnatronr and nooth.

Dr. Armstrong, who died in Atlanta a
few days ago ofapoplexy, led peculiar
ly romantic career. For years he fur
nished newspaper correspondents with
material for wild stories, and numerous
efforts were made to prove that he was
identical with J. Wilkes Booth, who as
sassinated Abraham Lincoln. James Ell.
Payson, of Sidney, o., who is in this city
at present, knew him intimately in for
mer days, and in referring to the matter
said;
DR.. Armstrong spent several years in
Sydney as United Presbyterian preach
er, and was noted for his eloquence and
for the theatrical methods which he
employed in the pulpit During the war
he mysteriously disappeared, but came
to the front few years later as an Epis-
copal Clergyman.
He continued In the latter capacity
until made the subject Of two ASSAULT
by persons who believed him to be J.
Wilkes Booth He then went to Cincin-
natl, where he achieved through the
newspapers an unenviable notoriety. For
ten years nothing has been heard from
him by his old associates. There is no
doubt that he bore remarkable resem-
blance to the assassin of Lincoln. He
limped with his right leg and wore long,
black hair, which those who suspected
him claimed was utilized to conceal a
scar resulting from wound inflicted by
Boston Corbett, who claimed to have
shot Booth.--San Francisco Call.

A cur,osity OF Red Tame,

A curious case of red tape has just
come to my attention. The Brazilian
Indians have trick Of COMPRISING the
skulls of the dead. They take out all
the bones and reduce the size of the
head to about one-third Of its original
dimensions, but manage to retain tho
features and expression exact. A gem
tleman in New York ON recent trip to
Brazil secured one Of these heads and
shipped it home. 1t now lies in box In
the basement of the custom house, and
he can get it no further, because the
health officer will not give the neces-
sary authority to the customs officer to
pass the invoice, for the reason that no
certificate has been furnished as to the
cause of the mans death. Cor. Chicago

A Prompt Answer to PRAYER.

A United Brethren preacher, the Rev.
John r. Eberly, of Lewiston, has been
conducting meetings at the Brush Ridge
school house, in this county, for three
weeks. The countryside for miles
around is represented nightly, and in
tense interest is shown. The other
night an amusing climax occurred dur
ing the delivery Of Brother Eberly's
opening prayer. The venerable minister
has shown partiality for the phrase,
20 Lord, shower thy blessing down
upon u.s." which is Incorporated in all
his prayers.
When this period of his invocation was
reached the audience was thrown into .
condition Of extreme excitement by the
copious fall of water from the trap door
directly over the minister, drenching
him through and through. A temporary
check was given to the services by this
sudden fulnllment of the preachers
prayer and the tranquility Of the meet
ing was not re-estabIished until an In
vestigation revealed the canse Of the un-
expected downpour. John L. Smith, O
fifteen year-old boy, had sacreted him
self in the attic of the school house in adj.
vance Of the meeting and given practical
effect to Mr.. Eberly's invocation with
two buckets of water. -Lewiston Ra)

What is more beautiful for o low screen

peas. If the kitchen is on the sunny
side OF the house they will luxuriate with
no other fertilizer than the soap suds OF
the weekly washing. The seed should
be planted very early in the season, m .
rich, sunny place, as deep as six or eight
inches. Some floriculturists plant them
in the fall, putting them down the depth
Of ten inches and covering the ground
with rich fertilizer. They must be given
something for support as soon as they
are out of the ground. Bushes may DO
used for this purpose, but wire game

Of green, is prettier than anything else.
The new varieties of sweet peas are con-
siderably larger than tho old varieties

Gagged In the Top Of a building

For some mysterious reason the ele-

the desired floor the other day, and kept
on to the top Of the building in spite OF
the small boy who was running it. The
sole passenger was an elderly lady. 1t
was nearly noon when the ascent was
made, and 1t was after dinner that o
gentleman discovered that the elevator
boy did not respond to the bells and went
to the roof to see what was the matter.
He discovered, Gagged up in the elevator,
a very much frightened old lady and q
boy, who also showed signs of anxiety.
With step ladder and some outside
