A Valuable Find.

State Geologist Joshua Lindahl, of Thebes, Alexander county, H., says that Photographic stone of a fine quail ty exists in large quantities near that place. Experiments with the stone have been made in Photographic estab- lishments in St. Louis, Chicago and New York, and it is said to be the finest in this country. About all of the lith- ographic stone used in this country comes from Schenhofen, Bavaria, and as the supply becomes less and the de- mand greater, the Bavarian stone be- comes more expensive. Photographic stone is found in Alabama, California, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas, but in most instances the supply is very limited and the quality is poor. Prof. Lindahl has made no per sonal investigation of the stone in AL exander county, but the reports that come to him are that it is almost as fine as the Bavarian stone. Prof. Lindahl proposes to make an exhibit of this stone at the worlds fair.

what Your dlsandm6thsr Dld.

She hetcheled the flax and carded the wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow, and made the clothes for her hus- band and ten children. She made butter and cheese, che dipped tallow candles to light the house at night, and she cooked all the food for her house hold by an nNopen fireplace and brick oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of age, she was already an old lady whose best days were over. Her shoulders were bent and her joints en- larged by hard work, and she wore spectacles and cap. Her great grand daughter, with all the modern conve- niences for comfort, refinement and luxury, may be as charming and at- tractive at forty-fi as at twenty. Es- pecially is this true if she preserves her health and beauty by the use of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which wards off all female ailments and irregu- larities, cures them if they already exist, keeps the life current healthful and vigorous, and enables the woman of middle age to retain the freshness of gIrlhood upon brow and cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and it's elasticity in her step.

COMPTROLLER STAUB's determination to pay certain claims against the state shows that he is a man who can be de- pended upon to do what he believes to be right. At his request the supreme court passed upon the matter of state appro- priations for..schools, deciding that the failure of the legislature to act upon special appropriations works a suspen- sion or repeal of these appropriations. This decision was opposed to that given by the best legal authority of the state, whose advice the comptroller secured before refusing to pay the claims. It would have been reckless for him to pay the expenses until the courts had passed upon the question.

NAY HE UP RAILROADS
Possible Phase of the Granite
 Cutters Strike.
No SIGNS oF A sErTLsMENp

Both Sides Are Unyielding and VIII
 Fight to the Hitter End-LihelihOod
 that Thousands of Other Worklner
 Will Be Called Out.
 NEW YoRK, May Is. A genuine sen sation is said by the Pavers' Union Strike Commituee to be in store for the public, and it is likely to be sprung at any moment.
 It comprises nothing less than possi- ble tie up of railroads over which New England granite is shipped to thls city.
 Nearly all the building stone that Is shipped from New England quarries comes to New York by rail. If, as is now contemplated by the granite cut ters and their allies, tie-up is ordered on the New England railroads the latter will be greatly inconvenienced, as no even if the railroads succeed in getting it loaded and unloaded, which is thought to be doubtful.
 Every railroad that hauls the com bine's stone out of New England will be affected. The quantity of stone that is daily hauled by the railroads is very large, so if the tie-up is ordered it will add to the already grave aspect of the strike.
 Indications this morning are that the end of the great strike of the granite cutters and payers against the New Eng. land Granite Manufacturers' Association Is 8 long way of. Both sides are ap parently resting on their arms today but are prepared to fight as long as there seems to be 8 possibility of theil winning.
 Whether the granite cutters feel that they cannot win without the cooperation of the Central Labor Union, the latter will be notified and at once take steps tc call out all the men within it's jurisdic- tion where the tabooed stone is being used.
 AS the strike is growing hourly in itl dimensions, it is very probable that the Central Labor Union will be called upon to take this step, which means that, in addition to the granite cutters, payers, paving cutters, longshoremen, derrick men, engineers and monument cutie Fl already affected, there will be plas ter CTS, carpenters, ironworkers, brickna. sons, hodcarriers and others connected with the building trades. Such action on the part of the b uild ing trades would be a severe check t' the building industry of the several States, particularly in the East, as tho New England quarries supply 8 very large portion of the stone used in thes, localities.
 The granite cutters are busy calling out their men wherever they are still at | work. All the monument and marbl cutters will be ordered to stop work to l day,

SECRETARY FOSTER has at last con- cluded to assume responsibility for the expenditure of immigrant head money upon the improvement on Ellis island, and, in letter that will probably bring forth a reply, he has 50 informed the house and senate committees on immi- grafton, which are jointly Investigating the subject. His assuming the responsi' bility for this expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars does not however, make the expenditure legal, as he may learn before congress gets through with the investigation.

Esa,illnnI .lanrnnnnn.

The average politician nowadayn brides himself upon his own particular faith and loudly proclaims his personal views upon the methods of any party or faction which sets up any doctrine con- trary to his own. This may appear very well upon the surface, but the mo tive which gives rise to his expressioni is not always apparent As a writer in the Century very shrewdly in4imates.. there Is nothing more contradictory or unreliable than the protestations of the professional politician. Hesays:
 ''There is nobody more irregular than a regular politician of the unprincipled sort He is essentially and brazenly ir- regular. His very rules are often con- structed for entirely irregular purposes. While making certain apparent use of rules, his whole scheming is against rules; that is, he lends all his energies to falsify public opinion;- he misrepre- sents majorities; he is autocratic, ty- rannical and purely self-seelking. The securing of fair dealing and just regu- larity is the very life and intent of rules; whereas this is exactly what the regular politician labors, through his use of regulations, to avoid. We say through his use of regulations; but it is notorious that nobody can break his own rules with more effrontery than the most pedantic of regulars. As for independence, there is no one. in a sense. 50 independent as the regular politician. It is he (with the assistance, perhaps, of.a little group of cronies) who decides-often with complete in difference to public opinion-whats shall be the principles of a party, and who shall be it's candidates at any given election. When the regular politician, therefore, denounces independence and irregularity. he does it with his tongue in his cheek; and yet there are good men who are innocently beguiled by this sort of talk at every election"

Starvation in Europe.

Europe is suffering from deep depres- sion. In Russia gaunt famine stalks unhindered. The peculiar causes of her distress are to be traced in a large measure to the failure of her crops. But Germany has had abundant har- vests, and so have the other countries of the continent. And the soil is both immensely productive and highly culti- vated. Notwithstanding these things, and the immerise supplies of American food stuffs, Berliners riot before Will liam Ills palace and cry: 'Give us bread" And things are not much more prosperous in Austria, Italy and Spain
 The root and cause, says the New York Ledger, are deeper than partial failure of crops in one country only. The overweening monarchial system, with its appendages of useless drones od nobility; the frightful burden of mili- tary institutions for which the peasant ry must pay the bill; tbe monopoliza- tion of the territory by a few great land owners, and the crowded popula- tions of these long-settled countries, are the abiding sources of European starva ton. They hinder her development obscure the horizon of peace with wal clouds, sever mutually interested com mercial relations, and send her work men into the streets to cry for food, anG be cut down by angry policemen These facts explain European starva tion, and no others.

 PROVIDENCE, R. l., May 18.-An i'm portant railroad deal has just been con- firmed in this city. J. P. Ray of Frank lin, Mass, who controlled about 2,000 of the 2,800 shares of the stock of the Rhode Island & Massachusetts Railroad, has sold out at something above par to Messrs.
