ence is only in finish-in quality they have
not been second to any.
1t is a matter upon which we einvite these
Mugwump Anglo-maniacs to ponder, that
the weavers of Great Britain use more
shoddy in their mixture than American
weavers dO-two and half times as much.
In proportion to population the English
use three times as much shoddy to wool as
the Americans do.
There has been too much of this assump-
tiOn of superiority on the part of the En-
glish, proclaimed and persistently dissent
mated by the unpatriotic mugwumps. The
American has nothing to blush for-there
is no superiority anywhere to the good,
honest value of American cloths. And the
facts dispel the long-taught and too-much-
believed error that American goods contain
more shoddy than the English. 1t is not
so. The precise reverse is the truth.

ENGLISH sHODDX.

The importance of shoddy for the use of
American Woolen goods manufacturers fell
off from nearly 100000 pounds in 1880 to a
little more than 215,OOO pounds in 1891
the Mckinley law was passed in the fall of
1890. American manufacturers have been
using more wool and less shoddy than the
British for some years, and are now using
more of the good, honest wool than ever.
The New York Advertiser attributes this
to the increased duty on shoddy, rags,
esc., from 10 cents per pound to 20 cents
per pound.
The free traders sneer at American cloths,
and will tell you that American cloth
weavers never have produced goods equal
to those made in Great Britain. They will
tell you that American weaYers never will
be able to produce as good cloths. 1t is
not only contemplate, mean, unpatriotic
thing to say, but in many lines it is not
true. The quality of American cloths is
steadily and rapidly improving, and it will
not be long till it will equal that of the
best in the world. Even now the differ

THERE are fools, and there are fools, but
there none so worthy of eternal damnation
as the fool, who, in a crowded public place,
causes panic by the needless cry of fire.
His own cause he does not better, while he
endangers the life and limb of every occu-
pant of the building. Yesterdays calamity
was simply a repetition of the old, old
story. In a crowded New York tene-
ment, with each of the three floors used as
as a synagogue, and crowded at the time
with worshipers, this same fool cry went
up. That cry from the mouth of an idiot,
had more weight than the repeated COM
mands and assurances of officers and the
more level headed men, that there was no
occasion for alarm. Instantly three surg
ing masses of humanity went tumbling,
screaming, yelling like mad men, down
the narrow stairway. In the exit they met,
and with frenzy wed with each other to
gain the street. All thought other than
self, vanished, The weak and women were
trodden under foot, and after a score were
seriously injured, and four were trampled
to death the cause for the alarm was found
to be nothing.

THE wives of all noted characters are
generally given an opportunity to figure
prominently in the public arena. No matter
what may be their appearance or qualifica-

their charms and praises are sung through

light is Mrs. James Corbett, heretofore un-
known to the world, but who has suddenly
bowed to the public as woman of rare
charm and beauty. In her eestaoy over
the success of her husband in the pugilistio
field, she has gotten herself into little
legal controversy, which may cause her
much inconvenience and annoyance.
