THERE IS bill before the State
legislature to abolish the Board Of
County Supervisors, also the Board
Of Charities and Reform, and create
a new Board to have charge Of the
duties now devoIving on both. The
organization Of the Board Of County
Supervisors dates back to the for
nation Of State government in this
State, and has been in existence a
century in some Of the states
There may be good and sufficient
reasons why our County Board Of
Supervisors should be abolished and
some other form Of government sub
3tituted, but no such reasons have
appeared. Changes in our local
government should not be tolerated
5or slight causes. The two boards
which it is proposed to unite in one
have distinct duties to perform
which might better be kept sepa-
rate Besides, there are some men
who are better adapted to the office
Of County Supervisor than to the
duties Of a member Of the board OF
Charities and Reform. Men have
not commonly adaptations to all
duties alike,

JAMAICA AND The FAIR.
The Press of the Island Taking Hold of
the Question.

Inc fress OF the Island I8klns HOld OF
the Question.
New YORK, July 7.-The Panama
Star and Herald of June 90 says:
The Jamaica press is taking hold with
vigor of the question of securing for
Jamaica becoming representation at
the Columbian worlds fair The legis-
lature was almost unanimous in its opin-
ion that theappropriation of the colony
should be increased from $4,000 to
10000. General regret is expressed
that the governor did not permit that
wish to go into effect.
Notwithstanding this temporary set
back, according to adyices received by
the bureau of American republics, the
people of the colony are not permitting
themselves to be cast down. They
claim partnership interest in the sue
cess of the exhibition. They say Colum-
bus discovered Jamaica as we'll as
America, and they intend to be repre-
sented there to show their appreciation
of the event.
Speaking of increased steamship facili-
ties between the West Indies and the
United States, The Kingston Cleaner
says: "The way from Kingston to Chi
cago is now like well frequented road. +"
Il predicts that the island government,
the Jamaca institute, and the whole
body of planters, merchants and people
of Jamaca will see to it that colony is
adequately represented.

sands of persons who assembled here
Saturday to participate in the celebra-
ton and witness the closing perform
ance. a balloon ascension and para
chute drop, We're treated to IL horrifying
spectacle which they will never forget.
The day closed with an accident which
resulted in the instantaneous death of
one man and the fatal injury Of an
other.
The aeronant was Charles J. Jones, Of
Cleveland, a member of the Brady
Aeronant company. The ascent was to
have been made at o'clock. Among
the bystanders who volunteered to as
sist in filling the balloon was William
Hennessy, who took his position on the
inside CT the balloon and was instructed
by Professor Brady to hug the side of the
stack when the balloon was cut loose.
When the balloon started Hennessys
foot caught in one of the ropes and he
was unable to eXtricate himself. but con-
tinued struggling between the parachute
and balloon proper to free himself till
the balloon had reached the alarming
height Of 150 feet, when he grasped the
rope by which the parachute is attached,
thereby cutting loose the parachute from
the balloon, and plunging himself and
Jones, who was on the trapeze below, to
the ground.
He fell so heavily that the noise was
heard block away, end died almost in
stantly. Jones is perhaps fatally in
jured. Hennessy leaves u widow and
blind and helpless. The money which
was to have been paid for successful
ascension and descent, will be given the
widow,

a ROYAL CHINESE BABY.
She Was Born In Washington and Her

She Was Born In Washington and Her
Father is ChinH's Ambassador.
WASHINGTON, July THE birth Of a
girl baby in the family of the Chinese
minister has been the subject of general
rejoicing at the legation for ten days.
The tiny maiden is kept in the strictest
seclusion for the first month of her ex-
istence, in accordance with the laws of
the Celestial Kingdom, which also re-
quire the seclusion of the mother for the
same time.
When the child was three days old,
which was ON Saturday last, she was
decked out in the finest Of garments and
carried in state to the large parlor, where
the members of the legation were IN
vited in to pay their respects. On that
day large number of friends who had
been given notice also called at the lega-
tion and brought presents. The minis
ter's wife, though forbidden by the GUS
tom of her country from seeing anyone,
was on that day served with rice and
various dainties to tempt her appetite.
In the afternoon the baby was given
back into her charge, and will not be al
lowed to be seen, even by members of
the household, until she is a month old.
The minister has already selected a
name for his daughter, but until the ex-
piration Of month this will be kept q
profound secret. This is the second
child born to the family Of Chinese mo-
bility in this country, and, like its pred
ecessor, first saw the light of day in the
legation at Dupont Circle. The first
child was named Mea. which. translated,
is alleged to signify Beautiful American.
She was the daughter of the present
minister's aged predecessor.

MAKING STEEL.
A Process That VIII RevOlu-
tiOniZe the Iron Industry.
The Best Steel Produced d.
reCtly from the Orc.

Not Necessary to First Reduce Il to Pig
Iron as Has Been Done Heretofore.
Improvements on the Method of the
Russian GOvernmcnt--The Cost of Pro-
ductiOn Greatly Reduced.
CHATTANOOGA, July AT Johnson
City, Tenn, is a new furnace of large
proportions. II was erected as Bes-
semer iron works, and is planned to be
the most extensive of the kind in the
country. II Is soon to become the pio-
neer establishment in the United States
for the production of steel directly from
the ore, The process Is one heretofore
known to and used only by the Russian
government.
An inventor and artisan in iron, resi-
dent near Washington, has perfected
the plans for q plant which is an i'm
provement on the Russian method, and
which experts In iron manufacture,
after due examination, have declared
will undoubtedly produce steel of the
first quality directly from the ore, with
out the necessity of the usual prelimi-
nary reduction to the pig.
Will heuuCe the Brlce.
In word, the ore from the mine is
fed into the furnace, and in the course
of the reduction it becomes carbonized
and the product, as obtained by the
single operation, is steel in the state in
which it is delivered by the various
other methods which begin with the pig,
after an independent reduction TO this
latter form.
A strong company has been formed to
develop this method. It Is easily seen
that If successful it must revolutionize
the steel industry of the country and
bring the cost to very much lower
figures.
The Iron Industry of the South.
The new steel enterprises of the south
are of vast Importance not only to that
section and the regions Immediately
tributary to it, but tp the whole country.
One plant has been in operation III Chat
tanooga some months, and others are in
process of construction There is
another which expects TO compete for
the new steel guns near Cumberland
Gap. The steel sheets for the new
American tin plates are likely to be
nearly all produced in the Chattanooga
region on account of the low figures at
which they can be manufactured.
The ores used at johnson City are
from the famous Cranberry mines on
the border of North Carolina. The
quantity of ore in sight is beyond com
putation. 1t is mined and delivered at
the furnaces at a cost of fifty cents ton.
Besides the advantages of these low
figures it has also been proved to be the
best ore for the manufacture of steel yet
found in such quantities.
The figures of the new census have
shown that hereafter the great iron
centers of the eastern United States are
to be the east Tennessee and northern
Alabama regions. To the former those
mountain sections Of Virginia, Kentucky
and North Carolina properly belong.

New ORLEANS, July IA few days
ago the political campaign in this state
was opened by the anti-lottery wing of
the Democracy at the Grand opera
house. The fight is one altogether within
the Democratic ranks, the principal issue
being the acceptance of the offer of the
Louisiana Lottery company of $780,
600 a year for the extension of the
charter, an issue upon which the De-
mocracy has divided, the two factions
being more bitter toward each other
than ever were the Democrats and Re-
publicans Of old.
The principal speaker at the Grand
opera house meeting was Rev. B. NJ.
Palmer, of the First Presbyterian church,
asserted to be the greatest pulpit orator
in the south. He assailed the lottery
company savagely, and declared that
the people, rather than submit to its
domination, would resort to actual revo-
luton to get rid of it. The press OBJ
jected to this declaration as likely to
stir up strife, if not civil war, but the
opponents of the lottery have taken up
DR.. Palmer's cry of revolution as a
watchword. and declare that they will
resort to revolution if necessary to get
rid of the lottery.
A large number of citizens of Lincoln
and Brenville parishes met last week,
adopted and signed an address, which
they are sending all over the state, in
which they declare as follows:
"We pledge ourselves to fight to the
bitterest end the horde of gamblers and
bribers who infest our beloved state.
We pledge you even in revolution,
bloody, stern and terrible, rather than
submit to the shame and degradation
proposed by the lottery company. We
pledge you the best blood of the land to
maintain the honor of the state"
