The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-02-03

A correspondent of our London con-
temporary, Industries, writes from
Russia that "Messrs, J. and P. Coates,
the well-lSnown sewing cotton manu-
facturers, have already mill in st.
Petersburg partly filed with machin.
cry, which, when complete, will contain
S,265 mule spindles and IS, SSS ring spin
dies" They have also another mill in
tended to contain 46,54S ring spindles."
To prevent any wonder as to the rea-
son for Messrs. Coates building new
mills in Russia instead of continuing
the manufacture of sewing cotton for
Russians in England, the paper men,
lions on another page that the amount
ST duty levied on goods imported into
Russia was 80 per cent ad raiorem on
their value, and in the preceding 10
years the duties were II per cent dd
Uo|orem. and it is stated:
The introduction of manufactured goods into
Russia may be generally said under the new tariff
to have been made restrictive to a still greater
degree than heretofore, in order to encourage
native industries and manufactures In order
also TO stimulate the expectation of mineral and
other resources of the country the importation
of some articles OF this class hitherto free, are
now made subject to the payment of duty.
The encouragement of manufactures
in Russia seems to be resulting in an
increased production of finished goods,
which can hardly fail to decrease their
cost to consumers all over the world.
There is also another result of greater
Importance to Russia-that is, the Rus
slams will save the cost of transporting
raw produce to foreign factories and
bringing the finished products back,
and foreign manufacturers will, if they
wish to continue sales in Russia con-
tribute largely to the cost of the Rus

The effect of the tariff of 1890 upon
the imports of woolens is noticed in the
values of these goods imported for the
IL months prior and subsequent to
October /, 1890. For the IL months i'm
mediately prior to that date, the value
of imported manufactures of wool was
SIS, 03l and for the 12 months i'm
mediately subsequent to that date the
value of such imports was $35,601, 40
showing u decrease of $40, 1921, or
nearly SO per cent The decrease was
the greatest in the value of dress goods
and cloths; in fact, IS per cent. of the
decrease was in these goods PrespM-
ing that the deraand for wooden fla brics,
was as great for the ~ months succeed
ing October 1, 1890. as for the same
period before that time, it would appear
from these figures that the domestic
extent of what this decrease repre-
sented. If this decrease represented
pounds of wool to every dollar in value,
it signifies that this quantity more wool,
or 6l,112, 463 pounds, was required for
our domestic manufactures This
amount had to be supplied from some
source, and it is very evident to every
one familiar with the supply of domestic
wool that it was insufficient for the in
creased demand; and in order to meet
it wool had to be secured from foreign
markets. The wool imports reflect this
condition Of things, by the increase in
imports Of 29,713,3l6 pounds. The diff
ference between this amount and the
foregoing 6l,l1a, 46S pounds represented
the additional demand for domestic
wool-that is about 10000, 900 pounds
To this extent the wool growing in
dustry of this country was benefited. -

more cheaply to market 1t cost very
nearly 26s cents to carry bushel of
wheat from Chicago to New York by
way of the lakes and the Erie Canal
in 1865 and just so cents in 1890. In
1868 it cost 20 cents to carry bushel d
wheat between these cities by lake aDoi

cost ~ cents to carry it by all rail in
1868, and less than i41s cents in 1892

Probably the largest chestnut tree in
Connecticut stands in the town Of Mans
field on the land of Mr.. Whipple Green.
1t was pointed ont to me by Mr.. Nathan
Starkweather. We visited it ON Aug.
%. 1890. 1t is in an open pasture, about
three-fourths of mile east from Mans
field Station. perhaps fifty rods from the
house of Mr.. Green and not far from
the travelled road. \ small brook runs
short distance from the tree. The
circumference is twenty-three feet at
four feet from the ground. 1t is heavily
buttressed all around. and the trunk is
apparently sound. Four large branches
have been sent ont: the lowest, ten feet
from the ground. measures sixteen feet
four inches in circumference and ex-
tends toward the northeast. The cir
cumference of the buttresses. or rather
of their roots. exposed above the ground
is tifty-four feet.
Some of the large and high branches
have been broken. the result probably
of severe snow or ice storms. so that il
is not perfectly symmetrical. The di-
ameter of the spread of the branches
from the northeast to the southwest is
eighty three feet. and from the north
west 10 the southeast 100 feet. Mr..
Starkweather estimates the height to he
eighty feet. 1t is noble specimen of
the American chestnut, which has with
stood many years of winds and storms
and promises to live many years yet un-
less attacked by the woodman's AK. Let
us hope he will spare that tree.-Gurdon

For the benefit of the great number of

open nights-restaurants, drug stores,
baker shops and saloons. OF course these
are not patronized exclusively by the all

trade of that big community that loves
to roam about when other folks are in
bed.
1t is a queer community, this night
crowd. First comes the actor fresh from
his nights labors. He may deserve to
be classcd with the night worker, though
he disappears at or o'clock. The men

Then comes the crowd of night ram
blers-men about town-and people who
attend dances. All these furnish liv-

and "red hot" men. ETC.. as well as the
storekeeper.
The vast multitude of early risers-
the dinner pail brigade-are hurrying to
their places of daily labor when the last

The pulp and paper business on the Pc

great value seriously disturbs all stock

recently made over to new company to
be known as the Bangor Pulp and Paper
Company, formed by H. S. Rice, B. F.
Hosford and other Massachusetts, capi-
talists in connection with local parties.
Pulp mill experts agree that the ex-
plosion was due to one of two causes.
Under some circumstances gas generates
in the digesters. There is valve for it to
escape, but this might have been plugged.
The other theory is that electricity is
present in pulp and in paper made from
pulp, and through some combination
not understood this gathered with force
enough to burst the digesters. All agree
that the explosion was too powerful for
steam alone, but might have been steam,
gas and electricity.

ALTERING THE PRAYER BOOK.
Episcopalian Deputies Make Many Minor
Changes.

BALTIMORE, Md, October 1.-THE
religious exercises opening the sixth
days session of the triennial Episcopal
convention were conducted in Emmanuel
Church this morning by Rt. Rev. Phillips
Brooks, bishop of Massachusetts, and
Rev. P. B. Leighton of Delaware. In the
House of Deputies The 5HsstA committee
reports were received. : Rev. DR.. Hunt
ingdon of New York reported favorably
a resolution to set apart western Colora-
do as missionary jurisdiction. 1t was
adopted.
A resolution was presented to divide
Washington into two missionary juris-
dictions and was referred.
DR.. Hart at this point continued the
order of the day, the presentation and
consideration of the prayer book changes.
In the 44th resolution, it was proposed
to shorten by the addition of various
phrases, the form and manner of making
and ordaining bishops, etc. The resolu-
ton was lost.
The 45th resolution was voted on with
out comment. 1t provides for the inser-
ton of the Nicene creed in the ordaining
of priests, and was adopted. Resolution
46. regarding the conservation of bishops
and the omission of long phrases for
shorter ones, was carried. The 47th
resolution was passed without debate.
1t merely makes such changes in the
Litany and order for the administration
of the Lords Supper as are made and
printed elsewhere. Resolution 4S pro-
vides for the printing of the Gloria Patri
at the end of Psalm "a, and No. 40 for
the omission of the words Perform
ance Of" in the prayer at the consecra-
tion of church or chapel. They were
carried by an almost unanimous vote.
The 50th resolution omits the fourth
rubric after the gospel in the consecra-
ton of churches, and was adopted. The
next resolution makes substitution in
the prayer preceding the benediction in
the same service and was carried. The
sd and last resolution changes the
printing of the numbers of Psalms in the
psalter to common numerals and the
continuous numbering to Psalm 119.
The resolution was adopted.
DR.. Huntingdon, chairman of the joint
committee on the standard Prayer Book,
presented the report of his committee,
DIR. Huntingdon offered resolutions to
the effect that the text committed be ac-
cepted as the Book of Common Prayer
if the House Of Bishops concur in the
opinion; also that one copy be printed
on vellum, and delivered to proper GUS
todiap; that 1000 copies of the book be
printed, preserving a certain number for
the use of the Diocese, and that the re-
mainder be disposed Of according to the
best judgment of the committee.
Befere these were adopted, Hill Burg
win offered resolution which caused a
long debate. This resolution was intend
ed to rearrange the articles and offices
of the Prayer Book. Effort was made
I'd lay the paper on the table and to 81
lence it's advocate on parliamentary
technicalities, but he held out and gained
vote. The first of the series was lost
by large vote. Much discussion was
brought about by the introduction of a
resolution to translate the Prayer Book
into Swedish, Portuguese and other
languages.
