8he South Has Passed the Boom" Period
of Unnatural Expansion.
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 1.-The Trades
mans Review for the quarter beginning
July ! and ending Sept 80, 1899. of the
new industries established in the south
ern states, comprising Alabama, Arkan.
sas, Florida, Georgia Kentucky, Louis
lana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and West Virginia, shows a total Of 597
new industries established, as against
1875 for the corresponding period of 1891
and S82 for the corresponding period OF
1892. The aggregate shows falling of
of 1872 new industries as compared with
the second quarter of 1899.
The falling off is accounted for by The
Tradesman by the unusual stringency
in business and industrial circles, con-
sequent upon the extremely low price of
the last cotton crop, the full effect OF
which is now being felt. The Trades
man says there has been great scarcity
of ready money in the south, prevail
ing Discrimination to embark in any new
enterprise or incur any new obligations
and the gradual adjustment of values
which reached an unnatural expansion
during the real estate boom five years
ago. Matters, however, are now ad-
justing themselves. the distribution OF
money Ia becoming more uniform, bust
ness is improving generally In the south
and letters received from all portions OF
the southern states indicate much
more hopeful view Of the situation and
a more promising outlook for the next

Alleged Wonderful Cures Made by Pict-
ures In a window.
WrEoNA, Mimi, Oct. 1.-The pc
cuiiar manifestations in window of
the village church of Canton, Mimi.
which have been creating considerable
excitement among the Catholics In that
section are to be. scientifically exacted
by Bishop Cotter, of the diocese OF
Winona, within whose Jurisdiction the
so-called miracles exist.
Several weeks ago the inhabitants u
Canton, near Lanesboro, were startled
by the announcement that a portrait
had by divine means been imprinted on
window of the Catholic church there
OF which Father Jones is pastor. The
news spread and thousands visited the
village daily. At first the apparition
appeared to consist of q woman with an
infant In her arms and at times dim
halo was discernible about her head.
The story then took the form that this
was the picture OF the Virgin Mary and
Christ, and the crowd increased ten-foId:
paralytic cripples and other afflicted per-
sons came in droves and after a glimpse
of the pictures threw away their
crutches, exclaiming that they were
cured. Then the apparition took new
form and the visitors claimed that about
A o'clock in the afternoon four figures
We're discernible bearing resemblance to
biblical characters. These would grad
ually fade away, giving place to the
original mother and babe The matter
finally attracted such widespread at
tention that Bishop Cotter visited the
church in company with Father Coyne,
Of Lanesboro, and Father Perrin, OF
Brownsville
The window, which is in the north
gable Of the church, was removed and
the bishop brought 1t to Winona, where
he will give 1t q thorough examination
in company with other prominent Cath
Ole clergymen. The bishop is OF the
opinion that the glass, which shows a
slight discoloration, was once a church
window and that the alteration OF an
adjacent building allowed the light to
strike 1t at an angle which rendered the
figures visible.
Nineteen pairs of crutches are nailed
to the church walls, the result of alleged
cures performed by ,.he Virgin Mary,
whom the, pilgrims firmly believe is
present and healed the sick who came to
tho church. Crowds are focking to
Bishop Cotters residence, but he de-
clines to let any one see the window
until after the examination is made.

APLA, Samoa, Sept. 10.-Government
affairs in the Samoan Islands are still
dragging on, although the treasury
nearly empty. Some time ago King
Malieto ordered small boat from San
Francisco, and when the bill therefor,
$500, was presented, the king and secre-
fary of state certified that the amount
was correct. Baron SEMI Won Pilsach,
the treasurer, declared, however, that
he could not honor the account, as he
did not have that sum in American or
English gold, and the builders refused
to take German money, so the amount
has not been paid, and the kings credit
is damaged considerably.
