A CHARMING WOMAN.
Something About the Bright Wife
 Of the President-Elect.
Why She Is Popular with All Glasses 0 SocIety-Modest, Reserved and Full of Tact-Her Life on the
 Sea Coast.

A clever woman, writing in the Chi. cago Times about Mrs. Grover Cleve land, says among other things that all Americans know her bright, frank spirited face-a poor shadow of which graces this page-and we know, thank Heaven, that the coming lady of the white house is not a professional beauty" She could be outclassed, ] fancy, by a dozen pretty actresses, with the judicious aid of powder, rouge, curl. ing irons and theatrical postures; per haps by an equal number of handsome English peeresses, whose charms are as freely displayed as those of their humber sisters of the stage in every photograph shop. And I don't speak of her mental caliber alone, because with all her swift intelligence, her ready appreciation of excellence in any line, there are women of more com. manding intellects. And I don't speak of the qualities of her heart and soul, because she herself is never willing to have them spoken of. That she is 8 regular attendant at Divine service, that the duties of wife and mother are dear to her, that she has noble circle of friends, chosen for other qualities than wealth or station, we all know, and that is all we have a right to know. And l don't speak of her as a leader o1 fashion, because-thank Heaven again she is no such thing, though the world has seen with what grace she can fill the highest social position.
 She is, bluntly and briefly, as I said before, a lovely "all-round" woman. There is a quaint little fisher village on Buzzard's bay, where I think every man, woman and child would vote for Mrs. Cleveland. She is the queen o1 the coast, and as unpretending and un. conscious in her queenIiness as possible. You may meet her crossing the salt meadows wearing blue flannel gown and an old yellow silk handkerchief knotted round her pretty neck, or he1 sailboat passes you on the bay and you get vision of laughing, sun-burned

JAY GouLD,s FORTUNE.
Estimated by His Business Friends at Not
 Less Than @1OO, GOO, 900.

Estimated by His Business Friends at Not
 Less Than s1OO, OOO, 900.
 Just what Jay Gould's wealth amounted to has always been a matter of interest ing speculation. Those nearest to him In business transactions have always been in doubt as to his holdings and in. vestments, apart from railroad stocks and bonds, but the dead multi million aires friends agree that his fortune will foot up about $100, GOO, 900.
 He holds 22 millions, par value, of Western Union Telegraph, which at to. days prices would fetch about $1S,7O0 900; $1O, ,OO0, 900, par value, of Missouri Pacific, which is now worth in the mar ket $5, 500,O00.
 He is supposed to hold in the neigh borhood of $S, 900, 900, probably more of Manhattan Railway stock, worth $10,- 40O,O
 His holding of all these stocks have been larger than this, but he sold them to either invest the money in new issues of bonds of the Missouri Pacific and Man haitian companies or to finance those companies until bonds could be issued.
 Excellent information is that he holds about one-third of the bonds issued on the Missouri Pacific system, which would be about $50, 900, 900.
 His estate holds over $12,OOO, 900 of Wabash Railway stock which shows a loss of between $4,O00,O 900 and $5, 900, 900.
 AS long ago as 1884 MT. Gould was known to hold abont $3,000,000 of first class railway mortgage bonds upon roads other than those controlled or managed by him.
 Besides these items he had large invest ments in a great number of properties concerning which the general public knows little or nothing.
 His holdings of Union Pacific anG Kansas Pacific bonds, which have never been stated, must be large but it is not believed that he owned of late years much if any Union Pacific stock.

Yale,s Oldest Professor Honored.

No honor has been conferred upon Yale and Yale professors in years which is comparable with that just received by Hubert A. Newton, professor of mathematics at that university. Prof. Newton has just returned from the west and found awaiting him a certif- cate of his election to the Royal Philo- sopLical Society of London last May. The 1Gct that not more than half a dozen mericans have ever received a similar honor makes the appointment of especial significance. The recipient is the oldest professor in active service u Yale, having served since 1852.

THE work of the second session of the fifty-second congress really began this week, although there is not a quorum of either house or senate yet in Wash ington and the formal opening will not take place until Monday. The work which was this week assigned to sub- committees at a full meeting of the house committee on appropriations is the most important that will come be- fore this congress in it's bearing upon the immediate future of President-Eect Clevelands administration and of the democratic party-the preparation of the regular appropriation bills that are to be passed at this session for the sup port of the government for the year be- ginniug July 1, 1893. Representative Holman, chairman of the committee, urged upon his colleagues the necessity of every item in each of these bills. The uncertainty about the condition the re- publicans will leave the treasury in when they retire next year. adds to the necessity for the most careful work on the part of these subcommittee.

ACCORDING to the report of the bu- reau of statistics for October, just pub lished, it appears that a tremendous falling off has taken place in our immi- grafton, as compared with the core spending time of last year. The num- Der of immigrants from all countries during October was only 16,42S, as com pared with 54, 1S2 in October, 1891; and of the these 6,514, or nearly 40 per cent, were from the British Isles. There were nearly twice as many from Eng land and Wales as from Ireland, and more than twice as many from Ireland as from Scotland. The falling off has been mainly in the immigration from the continent of Europe. There were only 929 Austro-Hunga- rians, as against 5,330 in October of last year; only 3,S31 Germans, as against 13,224; only 504 Italians, as against 4,441; only 757 Poles, and Rus sians, as against 9,741. The figures show that for the first six months of this year 353 ,961 immigrants came here, while during the first six months of 1891 there were only 325, 1907, an in- crease of ,654. If this rate of increase had kept up the total for the ten months would have been about 57O,000, instead of 493,2 It may be estimated, therefore, that about 750, ,000 immigrants have been kept out who would have come to this country if there had been no cholera and DO specia quarant ne orders. As it is the years immigration will be about 525 .000.

IT IS NOT TRUE.
And the Exact State of Things
 Should be Known.
We Wish Here and Now to Set Right
 Very False Matter.
We have the Proof and Evidence at Hand to Perfectly Settle all Doubt.

We have the Proof and Evidence at
 Hand to Perfectly Settle all Doubt.
 False notions sometimes become deep ly rooted.
 There is an extremely false idea preva- lent among the people that inherited consumption or an inherited weak and delicate condition is necessarily sure at sometime to prove fatal.
 This is decidedly and emphatically wrong and leads to fears and apprehen- sions upon the part of persons who thus inherit aweakness of the lungs, tendency tion, or a feeble, delicate or debilitated constitution.
 Of course if such weak condition of the lungs or enfeebled state of the body is neglected, consumption and prema- ture death will almost surely result. But by observing proper care and mak- ing use of the proper means, all danger can be averted and good health and strength maintained.
 In proof of this now well established fact we have known many affected people, or those having naturally weak and delicate constitutions, to continue in sound health by keeping the blood good, the nerves strong and the diges. tion perfect by using that great health and strength giver, Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy.
 Many such cases are constantly occur ring, but we will here cite only one, a most wonderful restoration from inheri- ted consumption, which came under our personal observation. This lady, Mrs. Addie I, Cragg, of 101 North Portland Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., stated the facts to us personally, and we give them to our readers in her own words

If there has been friction between them and if they were in constrained rela- tions when Cleveland was president, these annoyances have all been re- moved, and MT German has found that the president-elect was ready to meet him half way. A few days ago the Maryland senator while in New York sent note to Mir Cleveland asking for an appointment, and received as quick as a district messenger could bring it to him reply in which an hour was set for the call. MT Cleveland greeted the senator with great cordlality at the hour named, and for more than two hours these two men were in consulta- tion. It is said that MT German could not conceal his delight not only that peace was to prevail, but that he had been chosen as the president-elect's next friend upon the floor of the senate.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3.-Local railroad officials do not believe that the death of Mir. Gould will have any effect on his in- terests here. Mir. Gould was, of course, the controlling factor in the Texas Ss Pacific road terminating here, but any effect that his death may have at this point, in that connection, will be gov erned entirely by the effect in the East.

 ''I had poor health for several years. Have been under the treatment of many doctors, but they did me no good. The more medicine I took, the weaker I grew; was so bad at last that I could not eat or sleep, and had a cough that almost racked me to pieces. I had pains in my chest which made breathing very difficult.
 "As my father, brother and sister had died with consumption, thought my time had come. With much pleasure and gratitude, can now say that have been entirely cured of my troubles by Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
 My appetite is excellent, my food digests easily, sleep is refreshing, and all together I feel restored to health once more.
 II must earnestly recommend Dr. Greene's blood and nerve remedy to all who are afflicted with obstinate chronic, nervous or painful disease. I have re- commended It to many sufferers, and am pleased to say that it has given gen eral satisfaction"
 We should certainly advise those who have any weakness of the system whatever to immediately use this remedy. It will make you we'll and strong again. It is not one of the so- called patent medicines, but is physic- ian's prescription, the%dlscovery indeed is one of our:most eminent and success full specialists in curings chronic and long-standing diseases, Dr. Greene of 34 w. 14th Street New York. The doctor can be consulted free personally or by letter, and this fact alone guarantees the great value of the remedy. All druggists keep it for $1 %. per bottle, and it is purely vegetable and harmless. atasa

THE BORDEN INDICTMENT.
But Few Believed That the Grand Jury
 Would Do Otherwise.

Would Do Otherwise.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 3.-The news of the verdict of the grand jury in bring ing in a true bill against Lizzie Borden has relieved the people of this city from a great strain. All along the majority have been of the opinion that an indict- ment would be found agalnst her, al- though there was a large contingent who could not be induced to believe that such a result could be accomplished. These same people are the ones who even now believe in Miss Borden's innocence and think her to be the victim of a con- spiracy.
 As soon as the jury's action had been bulletined here the anxious and interested ones crowded about the boards and en- gagged in animated conversations which smacked strongly of the q told-you- -so"
 Lawyer Jennings office was overrun with visitors seeking further informa- tion than what they had already re- ceived, but were disappointed, as he was unable to satisfy their morbid curiosity to B greater extent.
 All be had to say was: "I am not surprised. I would not be surprised at anything in this case. had hopes after the adjournment of the jury that they might not return a bill against my client. Still, I was quite certain and expected that they would under the circum- stances"
 The first count of the indictment charges Miss Borden with killing Abby Durfee Borden with hatchet, infiicting 20 mortal wounds; the second count is the same as the first, substituting Andrew Jackson Borden for Abby Dur fee Borden.
 There is another indictment which was kept secret, as the party indicted Is not in custody.
 The jury made no public report in court. It filed in, handed it's paper to the court, was dismissed, and went to the treasurer's office for payment.
 None of the jury was disposed to be communicative.

I. NJ. Hurst, Assistant Postmas.
ter, Nashville, Tenn, was born on
on the historic battle ground of
Shiloh, in Hardin County, Tenn,
March 9TH, 1S49, of poor parents.
At the age of seven years his
parents moved to the then from.
tier State of Missouri, returning
to Tennessee in 1860.
This migration, followed imme-
di4tely by the war, kept him out
of school, so that he reached early
manhood uneducated. Beginning
as a home student at the age Of
seventeen years he was by gradu-
al promotion placed at the head Of
the Cumberland Presbyterian
Publishing House at this place, at
the age of thirty with credit and
success, having previously served
as Postmaster at Savannah as
secretary of the local board of
health, and several other posi-.
tons of prominence and trusf.
Mr.. Hurst is one of the princi-
pal stockholders of the Wheeler
Publishing Company, and also
director in the Specific Oxygen
Company, and he is also a very
fluent writer, having contributed
several articles of merit to vari-
GUS periodicals..
He is a consistent member of The
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,

WAR.
The United States and
Chilli Not at Peace.

One day the news in regard to
our relations with Chill indicates
immediate war while that of the
next will be conciliatory. But it
is a fact that the diplomatic relat.
ions of the two countries are
strained and it will require some
exertion on the part of the peace.
loving people of the two countries
to prevent a clash of arms.
The CHILEAN Government is the
aggressor having permitted its
subjects to assault and murder
subjects of this government on
CHILEAN soil without furnishing,
or Offering to punish, the culprils
and it is the duty of this gov
eminent to resent the wrong, first
through its minister, but if that
fails which it did in this instance,
then q resort to harsher means
becomes necessary. The British
Government has offered its SER
vices as an arbitrator to prevent
war.
In this crisis the War Depart
nent has been very active in max.
ing preparation and has its navy
in good shape, but our coast de-
fenses are wholly inadequate for
the protection of the many cities
that lie on it.
The Gillian people are illiterate,
uneducated and self-cOnfdent, ev-
Ell to degree that they actually
believe they can whip the United
States.
The President sent a message
to Congress Monday in which the
subject of the unfriendly relations
with Chill was discussed.
